There is a simple and obvious way to cut the cost of busing: bring back neighborhood schools. The city only buses kids who are more than 1.5 miles from their schools. Parents pick far-away schools that they can’t get to for parents’ night because they don’t want their children walking even a few blocks in unsafe neighborhoods. Multiple buses pass down the same street, each picking up only one child to go to a different far-off school in a different direction. What a waste! Other districts in the state give all kids a ride. We could probably cut the busing budget by $20 million if kids went to a nearby school. The schools would be pressured to improve if the families in the neighborhood saw them as “their schools.” A win-win proposition. BRYAN D. HICKMAN

DEC’s flawed mission
Instead of focusing on energy options for New York in a time of climate change, this critical dialogue was hijacked for six long years by one of the worst options — fracking, another fossil fuel option. During that time we could already be moving forcefully toward 100 percent renewables by 2030, which many groups are now just starting to press their representatives on. One of the fundamental problems with the whole fracking issue is how the NYS Department of
Environmental Conservation understands its mission: “based on the balance between protection of the environment and public health and economic and social considerations.” Our DEC’s mission should not be to balance anything but the integrity of our life-support system — especially as we rush headlong into climate change. If our state authority continues to see its mission as a balancing act for everyone and everything who wants a part of our very compromised environment, we are in deep trouble. FRANK J. REGAN

When parents fail
On a reader’s comment that the problems in the Rochester school district are the result of poor parenting:
I don’t disagree that parents should equip their children with fundamental skills necessary for success in school. However, what should we do when parents fail their responsibilities? Do we just throw their children on the garbage heap? When we fail to help these kids we are creating another generation of parents who can’t or won’t prepare THEIR children accordingly. Like it or not, if we fail these children in the same way their parents do, we are only perpetuating the problem. ANN MOUST

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Tackling poverty when we don’t like the remedy Jobs, poverty, education, housing: There’s been a lot of focus on these issues recently, thanks in part to the Rochester-Monroe AntiPoverty Initiative. But clearly, one of those issues is the key to success in all of the others. If this community doesn’t deal adequately with education, we can forget about everything else. And I worry that what the Initiative recommends on education won’t have any more impact than all the other education efforts we’ve tried over the past 50 years. Because we still don’t seem to have the will to tackle the causes of our education crisis. Numerous studies have documented those causes. Too many children are born into poor families, often headed by very young, poor, single women who have a limited education themselves. Too many children live in neighborhoods where employment is low and violence is high. And at the core of it all: high concentrations of poverty and generations of racial and economic segregation. Charter schools are trying to prove that teachers can overcome those challenges. A few of those schools seem to be doing pretty well, but as a whole, charters’ record isn’t better than that of public schools in similar situations. And charters continue to face accusations that they skim off the most highly motivated children and families and that they screen out or ease out children with the most challenges. Meantime, the evidence mounts that letting children from high-poverty neighborhoods attend low-poverty schools makes a big, positive difference, not only in their achievement in school but also in their achievement over their lifetime. Other than the Urban-Suburban InterDistrict Transfer Program – in which 587 city students attended schools this year in seven suburban districts – the Rochester area has done nothing to attack the concentration of poverty in the city’s schools. It is treated as if it were simply a city problem – and a city school district problem. The result is that generation after generation of poor children enter school unprepared, do poorly while they’re there, and leave poorly prepared for a job and for childraising themselves. The longer we postpone breaking that cycle, the more lives we destroy. And it’s simply a fact that we can’t solve the education problem if we don’t address the concentration of poverty in our schools and our neighborhoods. Obviously, that won’t happen overnight. Among other things, it will require changes in development practices, low-income housing policies, and zoning laws. That won’t be easy, popular, or quick. There are other things we can do, though. One is to create new magnet elementary
We keep treating the concentration of poverty as if it were simply a city problem – and a city school district problem." schools that draw from both the city and the suburbs. I am absolutely convinced that many suburban families believe in the value – to their own children – of integrated schools. And I think that if several area colleges and universities partnered with the Rochester school district and a few suburban districts, they could put together several highly attractive schools. The University of Rochester is already partnering with the Rochester school district in a reform effort at East High School, and the UR deserves enormous praise for that leadership. The East turn-around plan is an important and noble experiment, and we’ll learn a lot, regardless of the outcome. But the possibility for substantial achievement gain seems limited, because we’re starting so late. Too many of East’s students are already far behind, and disengaged, when they start freshman year. And the new East will still be a segregated, high-poverty school. A cooperative effort at the elementary-school level, with an integrated student body, has a much better chance of success – for the children, and for the community. A second avenue is to encourage more city families to stay in the city and send their children to city schools. Two ways to do that, I think, are to recreate neighborhood schools, and to create several test-based, selectiveenrollment high schools. More on those two controversial topics next week. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Political prisoner
Former Democratic senator Malcolm Smith has been sentenced to seven years in prison. He was convicted on bribery charges earlier this year stemming from his attempts to get on the New York City mayoral ballot as a Republican. In a letter to the sentencing judge, Smith said that he acted out of a desire to do good for the community as mayor.

TRANSPORTATION | BY JEREMY MOULE
The road to health Transportation planning is no longer about simply making sure that vehicles can get from here to there as easily and with as few mishaps as possible.
Busing dilemma drags on
Busing for city students is still up in the air. The Rochester school board refused for the second time to consider a deal with RTS proposed by schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas. Some board members are critical of the proposal because costs would be considerably higher even though RTS would transport fewer students and use fewer buses. The administration and RTS warn that if an agreement is not reached soon, costs could go even higher and put September busing in jeopardy.

As a discipline, it has become more holistic. It now emphasizes tying public transportation to communities and destinations, accommodating cyclists and pedestrians on key corridors, and making sure that main streets complement downtowns instead of encouraging drivers to zip right through. In the Rochester area, the Genesee Transportation Council and the Finger Lakes Health Systems Agency are working together to examine the health impacts of the transportation decisions made in the region. “If you don’t have good public health, you don’t have a good standard of living,” says Rich Perrin, executive director of the Genesee Transportation Council. The FLHSA will work backward from existing transportation plans to see how those plans could have been put together with the health of the users in mind, says Elizabeth
Murphy, the agency’s active transportation specialist. The idea isn’t to redo existing plans, she says, but to look for ways to incorporate FLHSA’s collections of community health data into new plans going forward. Murphy offers a hypothetical example: If a community has a population of people with chronic health problems that could be helped by physical activity, she says, the plan could recommend putting a biking and walking path nearby. Agency staff members expect to develop some informal tools that would help community and regional planners “make more powerful recommendations to improve health,” Murphy says. Perrin says that the effort will also likely focus on how transportation planning can improve access to health care services, particularly among seniors and the region’s lower-income residents.

Schools for sale
City Hall is looking for buyers for two of Rochester’s oldest school buildings. Abraham Lincoln School 22 at 27 Zimbrich Street and Henry Longfellow School 36 at 85 St. Jacob Street are both in the northeast section of the city. The Rochester school district has closed numerous schools over the last 15 years because of poor academic performance, declining enrollment, or both. Finding buyers for the schools and new uses that resurrect the buildings as vibrant community centers isn’t easy.
In 2010, the City of Rochester found a developer to renovate and reuse the former Josh Lofton High School on West Main Street. But the building, now lavish office space in the city’s downtown business district, is more of an exception than the rule. The Rochester school board has approved the relocation of School 22 to the Franklin Educational Campus at 950 Norton Street. The building itself is being phased out. Built in 1916, School 22 is a wood-frame construction and contractors did not recommend making it part of the school district’s ongoing $1.2 billion project to upgrade city schools. The decision angered State Assembly member David Gantt, who has been instrumental in getting funding for the project approved in Albany. Gantt was concerned that too much of the project money would go to schools in the wealthier
southeast section of the city, while schools in the poorest neighborhoods are ignored. School 36 is less controversial. The school board and Superintendent Bolgen Vargas agreed to close the school, which was built in 1898, because of its age and poor academic performance. The school closed this year. Both school properties were returned to the city, technically the owner of all city schools in Rochester. The asking price for each property is $1.5 million and the city says it will give preference to buyers who say they won’t ask for tax exemptions. That could put some logical buyers, however, such as charter school operators, affordable housing developers, health care facilities, or other nonprofits at a disadvantage. And both properties are located in the 14621 neighborhood — an area of the city that has been stymied by low employment, lack of investment, and crime.

In its requests for proposals — packages that city officials put together for developers that outline what they’re looking for — the city says that it wants projects that increase the city’s tax base, complement surrounding development, and stabilize and preserve the land values of the surrounding neighborhoods. “Schools have closed in the past and we have found ways to put the buildings to good use,” says city spokesperson Jessica Alaimo. “The mayor’s top priorities are to improve access to jobs and a quality education, and make neighborhoods more vibrant. These priorities will be the top consideration as we review the proposals.” The city will hold information meetings on the buildings from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, July 15, at City Hall, 30 Church Street, room 223-B. Proposals from prospective buyers for both sites are due no later than Friday, September 11.
Now what? The controversy surrounding a historic church on the city’s west side has outlived the church itself, which burned in a three-alarm job late last month. The building was torn down. The former Westminster Presbyterian Church at 660 West Main had been the focus of a tug of war between, on one side, the building’s owner, Marvin Maye, and his supporters, and, on the other side, some neighbors and preservationists who wanted to save the church. (Maye could not be reached for comment on this story.) Maye finally got permission from the City of Rochester in August 2014 to tear down the church for a grocery store, if he meets a handful of conditions. The big one: proof that he has the financial backing for the project, and that he sticks to the grocery-store plan. (At one time, Maye wanted to put a Dollar General on the site.) But nothing happened on the property until the fire. City spokesperson Jessica Alaimo says that the terms for the demolition permit no longer apply since the church is gone. But the project still has conditions attached, she says. “Most importantly, the development must be a singletenant, full-line grocery store with one public entrance,” she says. The fire has been labeled suspicious, according to the Rochester Fire Department, because the church was vacant and lacked utilities when it burned.

Talya Meyerowitz recently asked a group of CEO’s and entrepreneurs to think about a personal encounter that made them feel belittled and humiliated. It didn’t matter if the incident had just happened or if it occurred 20 years ago. “Go back to that feeling, whether it was on the school yard or in the board room,” she said. “Now imagine what it’s like to go in every day and have to interact with that same person who did that to you.”

person versus the shy and less talkative individual, there’s a tendency for both to be extroverted and likeable colleagues, according to some research. US employers have been slow to
respond to workplace aggression, often arguing that it doesn’t exist. A 2007 WBI-Zogby survey showed that when employers are told about aggression in their organizations, nearly 50 percent do nothing, and 18 percent make the problem worse by retaliating against the employee who reported it. Though some business leaders are dismissive of the issue, aggression in the workplace can come at a high cost in the form of higher absenteeism, higher employee health costs, excessive training and retraining, increased risk for litigation, and even worse, a greater risk for violence. But the most likely result is that businesses lose talented employees for what can seem like ambiguous and preventable reasons: a highly valued employee leaves without a job prospect, for example, or an employee isn’t honest about why he or she quit. Meyerowitz tells clients to pay attention to the level of incivility in their offices. Have clearly written policies for how employees should treat their co-workers. Consider having an independent source conduct a climate survey to gauge how people feel about their job and their work environment. She also recommends having a safe and confidential process for dealing with complaints — one that is designed to correct problems, but removes fear of reprisals. Meyerowitz says that she advises employees who are experiencing bullying to document everything, including what was said and how you responded. Details including time and place are important because when people are bullied, their emotions may prevent them from remembering exactly what happened even days after the incident. But sometimes Meyerowitz tells people that they may have to leave a job that they otherwise like. “When you go into the workplace, the very last thing you should have to deal with is any BS with relationships,” Meyerowitz says. “It should be positive.”

Correcting ourselves
The opening paragraphs of last week’s “Reining in e-waste” story were incorrect. The lead should have read: Consumers have an insatiable appetite for electronic devices, whether it’s the powerful smartphones in their pockets, the massive television screens on their walls, or the sleek laptops they carry with them. The electronics industry understands that appetite well, and it’s constantly churning out new products to render the old ones obsolete. And every time a new phone, TV, or computer is purchased, it replaces an old one, which has to go somewhere.

Having never lived in the direct Park Avenue area, and as a non-drinker through my 20’s, I don’t have much of a nostalgic appreciation for heading out to weekend brunches at the neighborhood restaurants. I only went when friends would drag me along, but The Frog Pond was one that I ended up at a few times. In recent years, The Frog Pond has seen a name change (from Charlie’s Frog Pond), a cosmetic overhaul, and an expansion of its dinner offerings. I do think the more subtle décor is a step in the right direction. Gone is the yellow wallpaper, replaced with lightly textured green walls and “frog skin” banquettes running down the sides. But still in place is the small counter in the back and the Ramon Santiago art pieces that provide links to the past.
The breakfast and brunch menu offers that link to the past as well. After talking to our waitress during the meal, it turns out that both that part of the menu and the a.m. cook staff have remained the same through the recent owner transition. For breakfast, my wife and I stuck to a trio of classic diner-style dishes to see how it stood up. She went with The Berkley omelet ($6.95), which is a bacon, mushroom, and cheese affair with three eggs, and I decided on the sausage gravy and biscuit special ($9). The omelet was overloaded with cheddar cheese and could have used some crispy diced bacon instead of slices in order to add some contrast and make it easier to eat. I enjoyed the thick, lightly peppered sausage gravy, although it was relentlessly rich when combined with the denser than expected biscuits. The corned beef hash ($4.50) was probably the biggest disappointment of the three dishes since it only had a smattering of corned beef in the potato base and didn’t have a meaty kick. Going along with what I mentioned earlier about nostalgia, I think for those that enjoyed the restaurant’s food during their formative years will be satisfied that the breakfast menu hasn’t changed and remains consistent, but if, like me, you are looking for a more modern attention
to detail when it comes to ingredients and preparation, this is not the place for you. Where I was more impressed was with the dueling burgers we had for dinner on a Tuesday night. The first was a Caprese-topped Angus beef burger ($13) which impressed with fresh mozzarella and a delightful, full-flavored pesto mayonnaise. The other element that popped was the roasted tomato pieces that added some fruity acidity and sweetness. The burger itself, though, was too finely ground, didn’t have much beef flavor to speak of and was the weakest part of the dish. The house made veggie burger ($9.95) — an interesting combo of potato, lentils, carrots, and celery — was much more successful, both texturally and flavor wise. Both the fresh cut regular fries and sweet potato fries were shining examples of execution: crispy and nicely browned without being overcooked. I’d be happy getting these alongside just about every burger I’ve had. We gave the breakfast part of the menu one more shot as we ordered the banana pancakes with caramel sauce as a substitute for dessert. The pancakes had good rise and crust, and were tasty enough to be eaten on their own. Although
I enjoyed the dark caramel sauce and its noticeably large amount of butter, it was super sweet and could have used an extra dimension. We took some home with us and added salt and whiskey, which really brought that rich sweetness into balance. I also would have liked to have seen the bananas caramelized as the menu implied. Despite some possible tweaks, this is a nice, indulgent dish to pass around the table, and was the best breakfast item we tried. If you’re expecting more than straight diner food for breakfast, I think you’ll end up disappointed. The dinners and burgers, though, seem to have some potential with slightly elevated classics, and of course there is outdoor seating right on Park Avenue. This isn’t somewhere I’ll be coming back to, but I have no doubt that many reading this will remain regulars. The Frog Pond has been a Rochester institution from long before I came around, and will assuredly remain so with nostalgia on its side.

The Rochester Jewish Film Festival celebrates its 15th year with one of its largest festivals The 15th Annual JCC Rochester Jewish Film Festival SUNDAY, JULY 12, THROUGH MONDAY, JULY 20 VENUES: THE LITTLE THEATRE (240 EAST AVENUE); DRYDEN THEATRE (900 EAST AVENUE); JCC HART THEATRE (1200 EDGEWOOD AVENUE) TICKETS: PRICES RANGE FROM $9-$25 (DISCOUNTS APPLY FOR JCC MEMBERS). FESTIVAL PASSES (ALLOWS 45 MINUTES EARLY ENTRY TO ALL FILMS) ARE $170-$185. JCC MATINEE PASSES ARE $42-$54. TICKETS CAN BE PURCHASED IN PERSON AT THE JCC, BY PHONE AT 461-2000, OR ONLINE AT RJFF.ORG.
There’s a frequent misperception that film festivals are intended exclusively for the audience reflected in their titles: Festivals that spotlight women filmmakers are just for women; gay films are meant solely for the LGBT community; Jewish films are only for Semitic audiences; and on and on. This sense of segregation can be frustrating, which is why it’s heartening to see events like last month’s “Best of the Fest,” in which the High Falls, ImageOut, and Jewish film festivals came together to present a weekend of standout films from the festivals’ past years. A good movie is a good movie regardless of how you identify. This is an idea that Lori M. Harter, JCC Rochester International Jewish Film Festival director, and her film programmers clearly take to heart. Yes, the films being screened at the festival all share a connection to the Jewish culture and identity, but more importantly, they each reflect a universal human experience; the kind that have kept people coming to the movies for more than a century. The Rochester Jewish Film Festival celebrates its milestone 15th anniversary this year, with a lineup that spans 18 different countries, and includes 27 feature films (16 narratives and 11 documentaries). Three visiting filmmakers will be in attendance, including producer Nancy Spielberg (sister of Steven) for the festival’s Opening Night feature, “Above and Beyond,” an awardwinning World War II documentary from director Roberta Grossman (“Hava Nagila: The Movie”). On Saturday night, RJFF will team up with the ImageOut Film Festival for Comedy & Cocktails, featuring a cash bar and a doublefeature of “Zero Motivation” and “You Must Be Joking.” And on Sunday, July 19, RJFF partners with the Rochester Children’s Film Festival to present a free screening of the animated short film “Macropolis,” with crafts and snacks for kids. The festival will wind down Monday, July 20, with a screening of the French comedy “Serial (Bad) Weddings,” leading into the Closing Night festivities. What follows is City’s take on 12 highlights from this year’s lineup, providing just a hint of what you can expect to find over the course of the 10-day festival.
10 CITY JULY 8-14, 2015
[ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
JEWISH 2015 singer, and Jonas (Max Riemelt, who can currently be seen on Netflix in the Wachowski siblings’ sci-fi action series, “Sense8”), a young man attempting to run from his troubles. Though the story drifts deep into melodrama territory as it goes on (not a bad thing, mind you), the sweet, easy rapport between Elsner and Reimelt — and the lushly photographed period flashbacks to Ruth’s singing days — are what make this film worth checking out. (Sunday, July 12, 4 p.m., Dryden Theatre)
“Belle and Sebastian”
Set in a small town in the French Alps during World War II, this family-friendly tale follows a young boy named Sebastian (Félix Bossuet), as he befriends the feral mountain dog believed to be responsible for killing off the town’s livestock. Sneaking off into the mountains, Sebastian trains the dog, Belle, to be a loyal companion, helping her keep one step ahead of the hunting party — led by the boy’s grandfather — that means to track the animal down. Meanwhile the German occupation poses a larger threat, as Nazi troops patrol the village, hoping to sniff out those who’ve been escorting Jewish refugees through the mountains and into Switzerland. Based on the 1965 book by Cécile Aubry, “Belle and Sebastian” feels lovingly old-fashioned, with strong performances and spectacular scenery, kicking off the festival in heartwarming fashion. (Sunday, July 12, 1 p.m., Dryden Theatre)
“To Life!”
Chronicling the unlikely friendship that develops between Ruth (Hannelore Elsner), an aging cabaret
“Deli Man”
Is there any piece of Jewish culture as universally beloved as the New York delicatessen? In this charming documentary, director Erik Anjou trains his cameras on David “Ziggy” Gruber, owner and operator of Kenny & Ziggy’s Deli in Houston, Texas. A former New Yorker and third-generation deli man, the gregarious Gruber acts as our tour guide, explaining the deli’s origins in New York City, where it introduced Americans to a cuisine now inextricably linked to the Jewish identity. Along the way, we stop for a nosh and to kibitz with the proprietors of some of the country’s most iconic deli’s. While occasionally bemoaning the deli’s decline — due to issues like rising costs and a shrinking customer base — Anjou is mostly out to celebrate food that’s steeped in tradition. (Monday, July 13, 11 a.m., JCC Hart Theatre)

husband; he must first present his wife with a gett, a religious document signifying the dissolution of the marriage. In this gripping drama from Israeli filmmakers Ronit and Shlomi Elkabetz, Viviane (played by Ronit) is a woman desperate to escape a loveless marriage with her devout husband (Simon Abkarian), though he refuses to let her go. As Viviane and her lawyer (Menashe Noy) plead her case over and over again in a rabbinic court, the proceedings stretch from months into years. The film never leaves the courtroom, save for a few scenes set in the waiting room just outside, adding to a tightly wound, almost claustrophobic tone, and leaving the audience as emotionally drained as Viviane herself. Ronit Elkabetz’s performance is all the more remarkable for how rarely Viviane is allowed to speak for herself, leaving the actress to convey a sense of her character through small gestures or a simple glance, as Viviane struggles to assert her personhood. “Gett” is actually the third in the Elkabetz sibling’s trilogy of films about Viviane, though it’s not necessary to have seen those previous films. In fact, it often makes the film all the more intriguing, as we’re left to puzzle out the truth based solely on the testimonies we hear. (Monday, July 13, 9 p.m., Dryden Theatre)

traditional family. She was always aware that she looked a little different, but throughout her childhood her parents explained away their daughter’s dark skin to anyone who inquired with vague references to an Italian grandfather. The power of denial never ceases to amaze, and this engrossing documentary chronicles the fallout once the truth comes out. In utilizing a closely guarded family secret to examine issues of truth, identity, and family ties, Schwartz’s film feels like a companion piece to Sarah Polley’s “Stories We Tell.” A Q&A with Schwartz, who’s scheduled to attend the screening, promises to be fascinating. (Tuesday, July 14, 6 p.m., Little Theatre)

“24 Days”
Based on the real-life crime story that rocked France in 2006, this disturbing thriller details the kidnapping and torture of 23-year-old Ilan Halimi. The film wisely refrains from showing too much of Illan’s torment, instead focusing on his family as they do everything in their power to bring Ilan home safely. Gradually we learn that the group of kidnappers, who would come to be known as the Gang of Barbarians, specifically targeted Jews because they believed all Jewish people to be wealthy. Working from the book written by Illan’s mother, “24 Days” is ultimately an indictment of the French police who refused to treat the case as the hate crime it was. Director Alexandre Arcady (father of horror director Alexandre Aja, “High Tension” and “Piranha 3D”) keeps things tense, and despite that familial connection, he shies away from the more grisly details of the case. (Wednesday, July 15, 9 p.m., Little Theatre)
“Zemene”
“Anywhere Else”
A dramedy surrounding the relationships between three generations of women in an Israeli family, “Anywhere Else” follows Noa (Neta Riskin), a 30-something grad student living in Berlin, where she’s working on a graduate dissertation about words that have no translation. Feeling stuck in a rut both professionally and romantically, she impulsively returns home to Israel, hoping to find comfort in the arms of her family, instead finding them more likely to bicker and nitpick than support. But when Noa’s beloved grandmother falls ill, the family pulls together, providing audiences with an enjoyably low-key lesson on the importance of embracing one’s roots. (Tuesday, July 14, 1:30 p.m., JCC Hart Theatre)
"24 Days" is being screened during the RJFF on Wednesday, July 15 at 9 p.m. at the Little Theater
“A Borrowed Identity”
Set in the late 1980’s and early 90’s, this sensitively-observed coming-of-age story follows Eyad (played as a child by Razi Gabareen and later by Tawfeek Barhom), a gifted Arab student who gets the opportunity to attend a prestigious boarding school in Jerusalem, and finds himself caught between warring cultures. Eyad develops significant relationships, falling for a Jewish Israeli student, Naomi (Danielle Kitzis), and becoming close with Yonatan (Michael Moshonov), a student with muscular dystrophy. But Eyad is never allowed to forget his place as an outsider. Adapted by Arab-Israeli author Sayed Kashua from his novel “Dancing Arabs,” the film does justice to a complex subject, finding dark humor in its conflict, even as it remains less than optimistic about ever finding an end to it. (Tuesday, July 14, 9 p.m., Little Theatre)
This inspirational documentary from filmmaker Melissa Donovan (scheduled to be in attendance) acts as moving tribute to the irrepressible nature of the human spirit. Filming spine specialist Dr. Rick Hodes for an unrelated project, Donovan happened to be in exactly the right place as the doctor spotted 10-year-old Zemene, a shy Ethiopian girl born with a debilitating condition known as Kyphosis — a severe curvature of the spine — as she walked by the coffee shop he frequents. With this chance encounter, Hodes provides Zemene a renewed hope for the future. If you’re unaffected by this type of story, you’re made of stronger stuff than I. (Thursday, July 16, 6 p.m., Little Theatre)

As part of his bar mitzvah humanitarian project, San Francisco teenager and avid baseball fan Mica Jarmel-Schneider decides to mail boxes of baseball equipment to children in Cuba. Inspired by stories of his grandfather taking refuge in Havana continues on page 26

Mix jazz and samba music together and you get this project: bossa nova, which means “new trend,” popular first back in the 1960’s in Brazil. They simmered this sound together last winter (probably day-dreaming of warm Rio nights). Julio Pabon will join on percussion for the Lovin’ Cup show.

[ BLUES ]
Five Head is all about stamina. As if on a ViagaraB12-Juggs jag, the band pops the clutch from front to back on its newest, “Candy Supper” — a 14-song pleasure platter with the band’s trademark ska acceleration and giggles. The rhythm section righteously pumps steady as the horns blast away the cobwebs and doubt. Born in the late 1900’s, this legendary Rochester band harkens back to that time in the early new wave days where — besides actual ska bands like The English Beat, The Specials, and Madness — everyone had a little flipped-beat joy in their arsenal. Five Head is for sure a ska band, it just seems a little less restricted by its parameters allowing for big band blasts of brass (just dig the lead in on “Hell Toupe”), bangin’ gang vocals (“Bitter Pill”), slow dance pelvis pleasers just in time for prom (“Beautiful Girl”), and rock and pop hooks. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

You know Tony Gallicchio as the source of Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad’s funky keyboards. But the man has got a little more for you to hear. Lucky for you, he fronts Funknut which is more organ-centric than GPGDS. “Juicy,” the new album from Funknut is soul-a-plenty without the hyperbole that comes with some funk. That’s not to say it doesn’t get down … way down, with Gallicchio’s voice as the sole mellow down factor. And sheee-it! The list of soldiers of fortune Gallicchio assembled for this project is mighty, mighty impressive: Chris “Hollywood” English, Wil McKenna, Kurt Johnson, and Drew Bellavia, to name a few, help make this a party record you just need to plug in on repeat and boogie. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

It’s quite simple, really. Rochester singer-songwriter Meg Gehman set out to record a new album. She adhered to the protocol. Raise the money, write the songs, secure the producer, rinse, repeat. Then things got peculiar; things got weird. The money was raised, no sweat, the songs were penned, and the producer — David Chance (of Ruff Endz fame) — was on board. But upon meeting in
Baltimore, Gehman and Chance ditched the songs she had written and set out on a pop odyssey. And the resulting album, “Leap,” is just that: a leap. “I had picked out 15 of my best songs,” Gehman says. “And I sent them to him. He liked a bunch of them. So I went down there for the first time thinking we were going to work on my songs. As soon as I walked in he had this loop playing, a groove, and he said, ‘Let’s vibe on this a little bit, see what we come up with.’” By the end of that day, they had written what would be the album’s first single, “Out of Tune.” “This was my first time really working with a producer,” Gehman says. “I loved it. We collaborated on every single song.” Eight songs she hadn’t planned on writing. She was out of her
comfort zone, creating pop tunes with a producer she’d never worked with. And she was in Baltimore. “It was really unnerving for the first 15-20 minutes,” Gehman says. “This guy’s got a voice, I mean he sings like a f***ing angel. He’s amazing and he was scattin’ and doing all this stuff, and I said, ‘I can’t hang with this guy.’ I was all insecure. But I thought, ‘As long as I’m down here, might as well.’ He knew how to pull the best out of me.” But before you start throwing a pity party for Gehman as a poor railroaded musician, just listen to her when she says: “I set out wanting to make a pop record.” According to the singersongwriter, the singer-songwriter is still lurking in the pop shadows. “These songs are definitely 100 percent my lyrics,” she says. “I’m a good lyricist; I’m proud of that. And he’s a melody guy, he hears hooks. He made this much more pop than I’d ever done before.” Gehman assures it’s “Pop” in a good way. “Yeah,” she says. “Some people use it like it’s a curse word. I’ve done the introspective, brooding singersongwriter folk thing for so many years and I’ve loved it. I did Meg and the Clams and had such a great time with that, and This Other Life with all original stuff and it was just great. I’ve just got a different vibe on now.” The material on "Leap" is much more lighthearted. Gehman and the throaty vocal intensity she’s known for is still there, so is the gravity and ache of her lyrics. “For me, lyrically it has to say something,” she says. “That’s very important to me. My songs are always going to have elements of love and pain in there. What else matters? Nothing. But there’s definitely a lighter touch both in the music and the feel. There’s some really hardcore club dance songs on there.” Gehman plans on taking the electronic treatment on the album and re-creating it with more organic instruments, shifting the music from rock to pop to rock again. “It’ll be a little bluesier this way,” she says. Hang on, baby. It’s gonna be one helluva ride. And the songs she had planned on recording before "Leap’s" pop leap? “They’re still there for future projects,” Gehman says.

JAZZ | DARIUSZ TEREFENKO AND ALEXA TARANTINO
Reigning rockabilly queen, filly, and diva Rosie Flores has been a constant on the scene for years. Yet the Austin-based singer-guitarist still plays with the joy of a 9-yearold playing a chocolate guitar. Whereas Flores voice is coquettish and sweet with just enough drawl and coo, her guitar playing is slick and mean. Come see what I mean. This show is the gal’s birthday, so leave room for cake. Openers Bar Brawl III, the aptly titled trio from Austin is pure rock ‘n’ roll impurity. Slop and sleaze greasier than the Reverend Horton Heat, and just as gone as Panther Burns. A shit ton of fun, y’all.
Pianist Dariusz Terefenko is a professor at the Eastman School of Music; saxophonist Alexa Tarantino is an Eastman graduate. Over Tarantino’s years at the school the two formed a musical bond that resulted in a wonderful album, “Crossing Paths.” Terefenko is known for his breathtaking dexterity at the piano. Tarantino’s reputation for adventurous solos led to an appearance with Earth, Wind & Fire at the 2014 Jazz Festival. At Kilbourn they will play standards and originals from their album.

ROCK | DIKEMBE
MUSIC | JUICY J
Lush, distorted guitars flood to the fore while vocals seem content to fall back for the four-piece Dikembe, from Gainesville, Florida. The band has a few albums and singles out since its first release, “Broad Shoulders,” debuted in 2012. Last month Dikembe put out its most recent rock effort, “Ledge,” which the band is now touring around the country. Del Paxton, Alleys, and California Cousins also play.
Blue Cross Arena will host hip-hop artists Juicy J, Tyga, and Chedda Da Connect on Saturday, July 11. Juicy J was a founding member of the popular 90’s Southern rap outfi Three 6 Mafia. Since then he’s released a handful of solo records, and in 2011, became part-owner and A&R rep for Wiz Khalifa’s Taylor Gang Records. Rapper Tyga is a Cash Money Records signee with four full lengths under his belt, as well as several collaborations with mainstream names such as Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj. Chedda da Connect is a Houston rapper who’s 2014 singles “Flicka da Wrist” and “Why Not?” have earned him a reputation as a party rap talent.

Amsterdam-based artist Handiedan installed a massive wheatpaste mural for WALL\THERAPY over the holiday weekend at 820 South Clinton Avenue. The 2015 mural festival takes place July 17 through 26, with a theme of surrealism and the fantastic. PHOTO BY MARK DEFF
Wonder walls [ PREVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
WALL\THERAPY 2015 informally kicked off over the holiday weekend with the installation of a gargantuan wheatpaste mural, “Bollywood Sugar,” on The Playhouse/Swillburger building by Amsterdam-based artist Handiedan. The striking digital collage of bold imagery — which includes many flourishes, flowers, and architectural bits surrounding a large central pin-up figure — earned cheers and honks from people crossing the busy intersection at South Clinton and Meigs. “It was a great warm up to everything, and really set a nice tone for this year,” says Erich Lehman, WALL\THERAPY co-curator and lead organizer. “The response has been pretty overwhelmingly positive.” Handiedan and her partner, who spent four days painstakingly pasting the preciselycut paper around the windows of the former church, were this year’s early birds, as scheduling conflicts prevented them from joining the rest of the artists during the festival proper later this month (July 17 through July 26). Though any art exposed to the weather is vulnerable, paper is especially so. But this hardy work has been sealed against the 18 CITY JULY 8-14, 2015
elements, and the artist estimates that the mural will last up to two years. Earlier this year, WALL\THERAPY organizers announced a partnership with URBAN NATION — a Berlin-based organization that supports street art and aims to create the world’s first museum dedicated to the form — for the launch of an international exchange program between Rochester and Berlin. Lehman says the group will be doing a WALL\THERAPYcurated show in Berlin in early 2016. The connection was made last summer when URBAN NATION director Yasha Young visited Rochester to check out Berlinbased artist Addison Karl’s in-progress mural at the Fedder Industrial Complex. After learning more about WALL\THERAPY and its sister project, IMPACT! (IMProving Access to Care by Teleradiology), Young extended an invite for collaboration. IMPACT! seeks to provide easier access to medical care for people in underdeveloped and underserved regions of the world through cloud-based x-ray services and a network of volunteer radiologists. Both WALL\ THERAPY and IMPACT! are projects of The Synthesis Collaborative.
The festival theme for this year is surrealism and the fantastic. In addition to Handiedan, Young has invited Stockholm-based artist Andreas Englund, Switzerland-based artists Onur and Wes21, Switzerland-based duo NEVERCREW, New York-based Australian artist Vexta, and Brooklyn-based Canadian artist Li Hill. The other half of the participating artists are curated by Lehman and WALL\THERAPY founder and co-curator Ian Wilson. They have invited old-school graffiti artist Daze, who is based in New York City and returns to Rochester after participating in the 2013 festival; Jeff Soto and Maxx242, who are both based in California; and Eder Muniz, who is based in Brazil but has painted many vibrant murals in Rochester over the years. This year’s local artist selections include Nate Hodge, Brittany Williams, Matthew Roberts, and Joe Guy Allard. New York City-based painter and illustrator, Tara McPherson, was set to participate as well, but due to unexpected circumstances will not be able to attend this year. WALL\THERAPY 2015 will kick off on July 17, with an art show titled “IMPACT!” held at 1975 Gallery featuring the work of all
participating artists. A percentage of all sales from the exhibition will go directly to support the mural fest’s philanthropic sister project. In addition to the opportunity to watch the progress of the murals, the week will feature a movie night hosted by Brooklyn Street Art founders Jaime Rojo and Steve Harrington, and the annual FLOOR THERAPY dance party, hosted by The Lobby at Bug Jar. Lehman says this year’s murals will be clustered around downtown, returning to past areas, such as the Public Market, and adding some new sites as well. But the exact locations won’t be revealed until closer to the start of the festival. “It’s not so much a targeted neighborhood this year,” Lehman says. “With the topic being ‘surrealism and the fantastic,’ it’s better served spread out, so that it’s not a concentration of so much of that kind of work.” This is the fourth WALL\THERAPY festival, but the fifth year since the project’s birth. “It’s really exciting to see that people’s enthusiasm for the event is still strong,” Lehman says. An upgraded, and mobile-friendly WALL\THERAPY website launched this week, featuring up-to-date artist bios and photographs from the past years, and an easier to navigate, searchable map of the murals. A printable PDF guide of this year’s mural locations is coming soon. City Newspaper will post more information as it’s released.

THEATER | “BEEHIVE”
“Beehive,” a high-octane, yet light-hearted musical from playwright Larry Gallagher brings to life the most prominent female voices of the flower child generation. With a range of 1960’s icons from Janis Joplin to Aretha Franklin, this jukebox musical catches the cultural shift captured so profoundly in the music of the era. “Beehive” prominently features everything from the early 60’s carefree pop tunes, such as Shirley Ellis’s “The Name Game,” to the iconic unrest that blossomed in the decade, captured in ballads like Joplin’s “Me and Bobby McGee” and Lesley Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me.” “Beehive” is directed by Blackfriars’ new artistic and managing director Danny Hoskins. “Beehive” runs Friday, July 10, through Sunday, July 19, with show times at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday; 2 p.m. on Sunday; and 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at Blackfriars Theatre (795 East Main Street). Pre-sale tickets for “Beehive” are $29.95. For more information, visit bftix.org. — BY GINO FANELLI University Ave. $7-$10. 7421690. ganondagan.org;. [ SUN., JULY 12 ] Jewish Film Festival.

THEATER | “AMERICAN IDIOT”
The Grammy-winning Green Day album, “American Idiot,” comes to life this summer at the Jewish Community Center’s CenterStage (1200 Edgewood Avenue). With a book written by Michael Mayer and Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, “American Idiot” presents an expansion of the stories found in the concept album. Focusing on three young men, trapped in the stagnating pit of suburbia, the musical focuses on the angst found in middle class youth, with emphasis on the slow, yet inevitable movement into adulthood. A Tony-Award winning play, “American Idiot” has appeared at Broadway’s St. James Theater, and was the subject for the Netflix documentary “Broadway Idiot”. This adaptation of “American Idiot” is directed and choreographed by Ralph Meranto and Meggins Kelley, and performed by 18 local high school and college-aged students, as part of JCC’s SummerStage program. The play runs Saturday, July 11, through Sunday, July 19, with show times at 8 p.m. on Saturdays, Wednesday, and Thursday, and 2 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are $26 for reservations, $24 for members, and $20 for students. For more information, visit jcccenterstage.org. — BY GINO FANELLI drink-trivia-every-thursday-atbutapub.

The art of war “Testament of Youth”
this entire space with war-begat titles from every medium. Art is often derived from conflict, (PG-13), DIRECTED BY JAMES KENT and the only motif offering more conflict than OPENS FRIDAY AT THE LITTLE AND humans ordered to slaughter one another is the PITTSFORD CINEMAS inner turmoil duking it out in both those who fight and those left behind. [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO Rare, though, is the female perspective, which is undoubtedly why English writer Vera Brittain’s “War,” Edwin Starr famously wondered, “What reminiscences on World War I, first published in is it good for?” 1933, have never gone out of print and now make I’ll tell you what it’s good for: War inspires for the gorgeously crafted, resonant coming-of-age art. Obviously, no one sane hankers for it, but film “Testament of Youth.” without war our culture wouldn’t have Picasso’s Presumably a few were agitated at the “Guernica,” Hemingway’s “For Whom the casting of a Swedish actress as a famous English Bell Tolls,” Springsteen’s “Lost in the Flood,” rose, but Alicia Vikander follows up her Altman’s “M*A*S*H” — I could totally cram knockout “Ex Machina” restraint with another stunning turn, this one requiring her to hit a challenging spectrum of emotional beats. Vikander plays Vera, who we first encounter on Armistice Day, 1918, as she weaves her sad, haunted way through a crush of London revelers celebrating the end of The Great Kit Harington and Alicia Vikander in “Testament of Youth.” PHOTO COURTESY SONY PICTURES CLASSICS

War. But we’re quickly flashed back four years to witness the same young woman happily bobbing in an idyllic Derbyshire swimming hole, only to return home and rage against her well-to-do father (Dominic West, impressive in his few scenes) for buying her a husbandsnagging piano rather than funding the Oxford education of which this aspiring writer dreams. It’s not ruining anything to say that the smart and determined Vera eventually gets her way, even in the face of the educational constraints felt by women a mere hundred years ago. And despite her anti-marriage stance, Vera cautiously falls for her brother Edward’s poet friend Roland Leighton (dreamy Kit Harington, “Game of Thrones”), their chaperoned excursions chaste yet delicately erotic. Then an archduke is assassinated in Sarajevo and the world is plunged into what would shake out as one of history’s deadliest conflicts, with millions of young men, including Edward and Roland, impelled to volunteer for service in the names of honor and duty. Unsurprisingly, our headstrong heroine also joins the war effort as a nurse, but not before butting heads with a steely professor (the formidable Miranda Richardson) who believes that Vera should remain at school and work even harder. The added weight of war through Vera’s eyes gives “Testament of Youth” a profound gravity as she cares for enemy combatants not so different from her own loved ones on the battlefield, while simultaneously enduring an unfathomable

Pleasure and pastimes “Magic Mike XXL” (R), DIRECTED BY GREGORY JACOBS NOW PLAYING
“Amy” (R), DIRECTED BY ASIF KAPADIA OPENS FRIDAY AT THE LITTLE THEATRE [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
parade of loss. Cinematographer Rob Hardy (he also shot “Ex Machina” and the first chapter of the stellar “Red Riding” trilogy) effectively juxtaposes the bloody, muddy hospital environment against the inoffensively drab greys of academia and the verdant English countryside, the differing textures somehow popping off the screen as well. And though train-platform farewells and pullback shots of devastation have been done before, director James Kent refrains from relying upon the superficial potency of battle scenes, trusting instead that the aftermath, when all the adrenaline has dissipated, is equally visceral, the reactions of those not at the front mirroring our own. The acting here is excellent across the board, with Harington nicely throwing off the shackles of that dull downer Jon Snow, and Taron Egerton making an indelible impression as Vera’s supportive brother Edward. (The always awesome Emily Watson plays Vera’s clucking mother.) But it’s worth remembering that “Testament of Youth” is Vera’s memoir — the first part of a trilogy recounting Vera’s life — meaning that we can only experience what she experienced. As such, Vikander is in every scene of the movie, and her gracefully tempestuous performance is nothing short of Oscar-worthy, her accent perfectly clipped and her dainty doll face registering a storm of emotions before she utters a word. The final scene hints at Vera’s future as an outspoken pacifist: her teary, defiant plea to “end the cycle of revenge” as applicable now as it was then.

The first “Magic Mike” was a relatively serious, recession-era fable smuggled inside a leopard-print banana hammock. Director Steven Soderbergh lent that film more depth than anyone expected (or, arguably, wanted) from a movie with a sizeable portion of its budget earmarked for thongs. For its sequel, “Magic Mike XXL,” Soderbergh has handed over directing duties to his longtime A.D., Gregory Jacobs, (though he’s still on board as a producer, cinematographer, and editor — the last two under pseudonyms). The result is a film solely concerned with pleasure, female pleasure, specifically; sorry fellas, this film could not give a f*** what you think of it. A healthy dose of gratuitous man-ass aside, your enjoyment will ultimately depend on how much of the original film you spent wishing for the plot to disappear so you could spend time hanging out with its characters. The plot could fit on a Post-it. Having left stripping behind at the conclusion

of the first film, Mike Lane (Channing Tatum) successfully started his own custom furniture business. But his dreams aren’t paying the bills — he’s not even able afford to pay for his sole employee’s health care. Mike can’t resist the siren call of the old bump-and-grind, and reunites with his Kings of Tampa crew: Ken (Matt Bomer), Big Dick Richie (Joe Manganiello), Tito (Adam Rodriguez), and Tarzan (Kevin Nash). Though both were major subjects in the first film, the absence of Matthew McConaughey’s Dallas and Alex Pettyfer’s The Kid is explained away in a few brief lines of dialogue. Any hard feelings over Mike’s desertion are worked through rather quickly — all the better for the film to settle into its easygoing vibe. Together once again, the gang piles into a yogurt truck to drive down to Myrtle Beach for a stripper convention (by all accounts, such things actually exist). And uh, that’s pretty much it. The film unfolds as a series exuberant, escalating set pieces on the way to the big finale: The boys enter a drag club vogueing competition; visit the Georgia mansion that houses the pleasure palace operated by Rome (a beautiful and commanding Jada Pinkett Smith) where her mostly black clientele can be worshipped like queens; and stop by the home of middle-aged Southern belle Nancy (a delightful Andie Macdowell) and her sexually unfulfilled friends. Along the way, the Kings of Tampa each discover their passions, and the inspiration it provides allows them to become better, more authentic entertainers. Or something. I dunno, there’s a lot of pelvic thrusting and tearaway pants, and it’s glorious. “Magic Mike XXL” celebrates female sexuality in a way that’s endearingly heartfelt. The women depicted come in every age, ethnicity, and body type, and they’re all made to feel beautiful and desirable, free from any judgements. Whether or not what the film sees as sexy would translate to the real world is another question
entirely — I’m not sure every woman out there would quite be as ecstatic to be faux ejaculated on with whipped cream as the ones depicted here. But as fantasy it works, at least it does judging by the appreciative hoots and hollers coming from the audience at my screening. This is a film that knows exactly what it wants to do, and in terms of achieving those goals, the film is damn near perfect. With a message about doing what makes you happy and having fun doing it, you’re guaranteed to leave with a smile on your face; this film wants nothing more than to please you. The 2011 death of singer Amy Winehouse didn’t come as a shock to
anyone. A young woman with a big talent matched only by the size of her beehive and even larger reputation for hard living, Winehouse rose to fame with the release of her second album “Back to Black,” which turned her stingingly autobiographical lyrics into chart-topping hits. Throughout her life, the singer struggled with depression and substance abuse, quickly becoming something of a tabloid punching bag, even after her death. In attempting to find the girl beneath the persona, Asif Kapadia’s devastating new documentary, “Amy,” forgoes traditional talking head interviews in favor of archival and home video footage compiled into the tapestry of a life. Audio interviews conducted by Kapadia play over the footage, and through these firsthand accounts from those who knew her best — including childhood friends like Juliette Ashby and first manager Nick Shymansky — Kapadia traces the singer’s life from teen to global sensation to a troubled woman ultimately undone by an enabling inner-circle, a gossip-hungry media, and her own demons. Though the film ends on a high note, with Winehouse’s duet with Tony Bennett, one of her idols, what’s left by the end is a sense of regret for a remarkable talent gone far too soon.
TROUBLE IN PARADISE
THE MERRY WIDOW
Saturday, July 11, 8 p.m. Monday, July 13, 1:30 p.m.
Tuesday, July 14, 8 p.m. Monday, July 20, 1:30 p.m.
In this hilarious romance about sex, crime, and conspicuous consumption, a gentleman jewel thief, a con-woman, and a rich widow “live in a movie world of exquisite costumes, flawless grooming, butlers, grand hotels in Venice, penthouses in Paris, cocktails, evening dress, wall safes, sweeping staircases, nightclubs, the opera and jewelry, a lot of jewelry. What is curious is how real they manage to seem, in the midst of the foppery.” – Roger Ebert (Ernst Lubitsch, US 1932, 82 min., 35mm) Part of the series James Card: Mirth and Madness. Monday’s matinee is free for seniors 62+.
“It is a good show in the excellent Lubitsch manner, heady as the foam on champagne, fragile as mist and as delicately gay as a good-natured censor will permit. . . . Is Captain Danilo of the Royal Guard the most audacious philanderer in Marshovia? He is. Is the widow Sonia the ultimate bewilderment of a young man’s dream? She is. . . . When she vacates the country and takes up quarters in Paris, . . . Danilo must go to Paris and pretend to fall in love with her so that she may be restored to her native land.” – Andre Sennwald, The New York Times (1934) (Ernst Lubitsch, US 1934, 99 min., 35mm) Part of the series James Card: Mirth and Madness. Monday’s matinee is free for seniors 62+.

during the Holocaust, he’s determined, even in some small way, to pay back the country that helped save his family. But when Mica faces setbacks after running into the U.S. government’s trade sanctions, he embarks on a quest which takes him first to Canada, then all the way to Havana; fortunately his filmmaker parents are on hand to document the journey. The result is a slight, but warmly human documentary that reminds us to do good whenever we can. (Saturday, July 18, 6 p.m., Dryden Theatre)

26 CITY JULY 8-14, 2015
Director Tayla Lavie captures the ennui among a group of female soldiers working in the administration office of a remote desert army base, navigating their way through a male-dominated society. Close friends Daffi (Nelly Tagar) and Zohar (Dana Ivgy) are far from dedicated public servants — they’re just hoping to pass the time until their required service is over, preferably while doing as little work as possible. And if they find new ways to drive their uptight commander (Shani Klein) crazy along the way, all the better. Functioning as a series of pointed character studies, this sometimes funny, sometimes tragic, and ultimately affecting tale of friendship is one of my favorites out of this year’s lineup. (Saturday, July 18, 8 p.m., Dryden Theatre)
“You Must Be Joking”
Feeling unfulfilled with her life working as a paralegal at a successful law firm, New York City gal Barb (co-writer Sas Goldberg) reconnects with her childhood best friend (director Jake Wilson), who might be just the person to give her the extra push she needs to get out and explore what she really wants. With Jake’s encouragement, she discovers a talent for improv comedy, reigniting her long-abandoned desire to be a performer. Stories about 20-something women struggling to find themselves and make it in the big city are a dime a dozen, but this likeable, easygoing comedy adds enough new twists on the formula to keep things interesting. (Screens immediately after “Zero Motivation,” following a 10-minute intermission)

A Maplewood Marvel
34 Riverside Street
Ryan Smith
NYS Licensed Real Estate Salesperson
201-0724 RochesterSells.com
34 Riverside Street is a beautiful Edwardianera home built in 1905 and located in the Maplewood neighborhood. It’s not too hard to imagine what this place looked like in Rochester’s heyday—this house emits a feeling of elegance and sophistication. Nestled near the banks of the Genesee River, adjacent to the Riverway Trail, and facing Maplewood Park and its tennis courts, the location provides the benefits of being located in a city neighborhood along with the delights that nature has to offer. Curves are seen throughout the house; the first one is on the porch. The unique layout of the porch creates a great space for outdoor furniture, and it is a prime place for watching foot traffic while enjoying your first cup of coffee in the morning or a nightcap in the evening. Your visitors will get a kick out of ringing your doorbell; you may actually tire of it being rung so much. But who could resist this fixture? The ornate doorbell is original to the house. It is purely mechanical rather than electric; it must be cranked and turned to operate. Its ring is the timeless bell tone we all know so well. The foyer establishes a grand tone for this four-bedroom, two-bath home. From the foyer one moves into the living room, dining room, family room, powder room, and kitchen. The
number of rooms and their arrangement creates an ideal flow for entertaining. I imagine conversations beginning in the living room, then moving over to food in the dining room, and on into the cozy, unique family room for a more private conversation. There is a gorgeous curving staircase with a landing that showcases a marvelous window. The grace of curves can also be felt and found in the living room. Though the space is cozy, the curves create a unique environment, making it a place that you’d like to spend a lot of time in. Light is also a feature that one is aware of. There are lots of windows that establish a feeling of openness and provide much natural light. 34 Riverside Street offers what all preservation geeks seek—bay windows, hardwood floors, original fixtures such as door knobs, crown molding, a fireplace, lead glass windows in the entryway, servants’ staircase, and hexagonal tile in the bathroom, plus a tastefully updated kitchen and bathrooms, and a first floor laundry. To schedule a showing, contact Rome Celli at 756-7425. Priced at just $99,900 for 1,750 square feet, this special home with its unique location is a steal. by Anna Liisa Keller Anna Liisa is a member of the Landmark Society’s Young Urban Preservationists

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Update
California inventor Matt McMullen, who makes the world’s most realistic life-sized female doll, the RealDoll (with exquisite skin texture and facial and body architecture, and which sells for $5,000 to $10,000, depending on customization), is working with engineers experienced in robotics to add animation — but according to a June New York Times report, faces a builtin problem. As a pioneer Japanese robotics developer observed, robots that become too humanlike tend to disgust rather than satisfy. Hence, the more lifelike McMullen makes his RealDolls, the more likely the customer is to be creeped out rather than turned on — perhaps forcing the virtuoso McMullen to leave enough imperfection to reassure the customer that it’s just a doll.
Cultural Diversity
A low-caste minor girl was beaten up by several higher-caste women in the village of Ganeshpura, India, in June (in retaliation for the girl’s having disrespected a male relative of the women — by allowing her shadow to partially cover the man). The girl’s family managed to get to a police station to file charges, but in some remote villages like Ganeshpura, higher-caste aggressors can intimidate the victims into silence (and in this case, allegedly threatened to kill the girl and members of her family for the shadow-casting). — Yunessan Spa House in Hakone, Japan, recently began offering guests supposedly soothing, skin-conditioning baths — of ramen noodles (elevating to health status what might be Japan’s real national dish). The pork broth that fills the tub is genuine, but because of health department regulations, only synthetic noodles can be used, and it is not clear that the artificial ramen
achieves the same (allegedly) beautifying collagen levels as actual noodles.
Government in Action
— The federal Medicare Fraud Strike Force obtained indictments of 243 people in June in a variety of alleged scams and swindles, and among those arrested was Dr. Noble U. Ezukanma, 56, of Fort Worth, Texas, who once billed the government for working 205 hours in a single day (October 16, 2012). Other indictees were similarly accused of inflating the work they supposedly did for Medicare patients, but Dr. Ezukanma clearly had the most productive day of the bunch. — Republican presidential contender Carly Fiorina, who with her husband earned $2.5 million last year, disclosed that the U.S. tax system required her to file not just a federal return but returns in 17 states, as well, and a June New York Times report chose one state (Michigan) to highlight the Fiorinas’ plight. Ultimately, the Fiorinas determined that they owed Michigan income tax of $40, but they had no way of knowing the exact amount until they had completed 58 pages of documents (to rule out various Michigan attempts to collect more because the tax they owed was more justly payable to other states and could thus be excluded). — Canada’s naval vessels stationed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, currently lack supply-ship services, according to a May Canadian Press report. One of the two supply vessels has been decommissioned, and the other, 45 years old, is floating limply because of corrosion, and work on a replacement will not begin until 2017. Consequently, according to the report, the navy has been forced to order repair parts for the ship by advertising for them on eBay.
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 28 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will meet someone interesting through one of your peers or while working on a project. Share information before you make a decision to become intimate. One of you is likely to be involved with someone else and will need to make changes before you move forward. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Motives behind your interest in someone or someone’s interest in you will be questionable. Look at the person’s qualities and beliefs, not the material things he or she can offer. Gravitate toward the partner who enjoys the same hobbies, activities and interests as you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Get out and socialize, flirt and have some fun. Your outgoing and effervescent personality will entice someone rather special to your side. Love at first sight is likely to catch you off-guard but also lead to a series of events that will bring out the best in you. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t let emotions cost you when it comes to a romantic connection. Back away from anyone showing unpredictable traits. Don’t let anyone play games with you or put you in a compromising position. Love is about sharing and caring, not using and abusing.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Have fun and enjoy the company of someone who is able to keep up and challenge you mentally, physically and emotionally. Meeting your match will bring out your passionate side and encourage you to take a step closer to making a lifelong commitment. Strive for equality. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll be attracted to someone who is involved with someone else. Before you let your heart become too involved, consider distancing yourself from the object of your desire. Get out and do things that are geared toward other singles instead of tempting yourself by spending
time with someone unavailable. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your display of poise and charm will be difficult for any potential candidate for love to resist. Focus on the person you feel the most attraction to, and discover all you can about his or her likes and dislikes. Your interest will bring you closer together. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The person you are interested in will turn out to be a disappointment. Before you make promises, rethink your strategy. You’d be wise to find out more about the mental connection you have with this person before you make plans to become too intimate.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Plan an adventurous week filled with excitement. The more you do and experience, the better your chance will be to meet someone who is capable of enduring the unpredictable quests your lifestyle has to offer when it comes to building a stable and long-lasting relationship. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t be taken in by a flirtatious advance made by someone with charisma and splash but little substance. Look beyond all the glitter, and see what’s actually being offered. You are likely to end up falling for an image that is presented, rather than what’s actually being offered.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are an imaginative, innovative lover looking for someone who is just as experimental as you when it comes to relationships. Keep the communication flowing until you are certain you have chosen the partner who can offer you the excitement you need to hold your interest. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll be eager to settle down and play house. Attend events that are of a serious or cultural nature, and you will find partners who are just as into joining forces as you. The one who shares your life goals will be your best choice.
