Forging a path: emerging artists in Rochester Artists are known for their powers of creation, but one little-considered element is their manifestation of a career path. Aside from technical training and aesthetic theory, there is sparse school guidance in the way of breaking into the art business and keeping afloat. And it’s one of the most innately competitive fields you can go into: though art work is valued and desired by many, it is hardly at the top of the list of vital services. So, working hard to achieve a level of talent is only half the battle. Artists must also struggle to find and compete for venues where their work can be shared.
In the following debut piece on emerging artists in Rochester, four locally based creators who work in different media provide insight on their origins, their work, and how they keep art in the forefront of their lives while they make, and live, their plans. Many emerging artists are also concerned with the value of more education versus more street-smart hustle, and find that moving to a new city is often necessary in order to seek out opportunities in more creatively promising communities. The question in many artists’ minds: is Rochester one of them?

Defining ‘cyclists’
I agree with Sandy Robinson’s observations about bicycling in the East Avenue-Park Avenue area (The Mail, August 3), and I suggest that we begin to use the following vocabulary to describe people and their use of twowheeled vehicles. Bikers ride Harleys, BMWs, and Yamahas. Cyclists ride bicycles. Rolling pedestrians are people who own bicycles but cannot seem to decide what to do with them. Rolling pedestrians are not acting as operators of wheeled vehicles. They ride on the left or on the right as the mood strikes. They jump on and off the sidewalk, the province of real pedestrians of all ages, including people too old or too young to jump aside quickly. They weave in and out between parked cars with a kind of now-you-see-me, now-you-don’t strategy that I find baffling. Two of the most important causes of bicycle-related collisions are cyclists riding on the left and cyclists riding at night without a white front light (both prohibited by law in all 50 states). But of course, these scofflaws are rolling pedestrians, not cyclists. There are probably more cyclists than you think. Since they ride properly and legally with the flow of other traffic, they tend not to call attention to themselves. They rarely “impede traffic.” They are part of traffic. Since athletic cyclists are capable of exceeding the speed limit in many areas, they are often restraining themselves in order to blend with other traffic. How will we get the message to those left-side riders? Like most social problems, the solution is quite simple but also quite expensive: The police need to start ticketing rolling pedestrians, and the judges need to start fining them. If you rode your Harley on the left, you would be ticketed in minutes. That’s because, unlike bicycling, we take motorcycling seriously in the United States. To the legal system in our city, motorcycles are traffic, and bicycles are toys. ROBERT COOPER, ROCHESTER

Biking right part 2
Sandy Robinson nicely outlined the problem of bicyclists who fail to follow the rules (The Mail, August 3). As Robinson pointed out, bicycles are vehicles under motorvehicle law and their operators are expected to follow the same rules as motorized vehicles. Bicycle riding is not without risk. In 2009, 630 bicyclists died on US roads. Data from hospitals and the Consumer Product Safety Commission place the number of bicycle-related serious injuries at around 500,000. In New York during 2009, there were 29 bicycle related deaths. Predictability curbs these risks and is key to a safe interaction with vehicles, pedestrians, and other bicyclists. 1) Always ride in the direction of traffic flow near the right edge of the right lane. Faster vehicles have time to assess the biker’s speed and allow for safe passing. Riding against traffic has a higher closing rate and puts the biker in the blind spot of left-turning drivers who are looking ahead and slightly left, not behind them on the other side of the road. 2) Ride — and think — like a vehicle driver. Make left turns by moving to the left side of the turn lane, signaling with an outstretched left arm and waiting for a clearing in oncoming traffic. Weaving around from odd locations and mixing crosswalks and traffic lanes confuses other drivers — and diminishes their respect for all bicyclists. 3) Sidewalks are unsafe for bicyclists. Sidewalk riding doubles accident risk. Riding against street traffic flow on the sidewalk increases risk four times. Pedestrian conflict and collision with a motor vehicle entering or exiting a driveway or side street are likely outcomes. Drivers expect fastmoving vehicles to be in the road and observable, not flying down a bumpy sidewalk alongside trees, shrubs, and hedges. 4) Don’t drink and ride. In 2009, 28 percent of the bicycle fatalities involved riders at or above the legal level of intoxication. 5) Wear helmets! In 45 minutes on the Barge Canal Trail between Pittsford and the Genesee River on the afternoon of July 4, I passed or met 94 bicyclists. Half were not wearing helmets. Nearly all were over age 18. Many parents were helmetless while the children wore. (Great message!) Two people had helmets on their handlebars.
National statistics find only one-third of riders routinely wear helmets. A 2008 analysis found that 91 percent of bicyclists killed were not wearing helmets. CPSC 2004 emergency room data put head injuries at over 150,000 with nearly 11,000 hospitalized. Only 20 percent of the bicycle fatalities in 2009 were 20 or younger. The average age of those killed is 41. The average age of those seriously injured is 31, and two-thirds of the seriously injured are 21 or older. 6) Be considerate. Call out a warning when overtaking pedestrians or other bikers, such as “passing left” or at least a nice “good afternoon” when still far enough behind to allow the other person to react or hold course.

From our website
On Mark IV’s proposed residential development in Pittsford: Too
little attention has been paid to the freight trains (with over 100 freight cars each, they are over a mile long) that pass adjacent to the site. They take three to five minutes to pass by and back up traffic along Monroe Avenue, which is the entrance to the site. There are as many as 30 trains a day, making a racket day and night. Will the high end apparent occupants enjoy this less than a few hundred feet away? MICHAEL SLADE
On City Council’s mayoral-succession proposal: This legislation
strikes me as an attempt to posthumously legitimize what City Council and the Democratic Party powerbrokers pulled earlier this year. Using emergency succession provisions for political expediency was wrong then and it is wrong now. Moreover, Council’s willingness to give up its appointment authority demonstrates a collective inability to make decisions it should be able to make. Council failed in its responsibility then and will fail once more if this legislation is adopted. FLOWERCITYMAN

Rochester’s students fail the tests — again It just makes me tired. Once again, we’re seeing the disparity between the academic achievement of children in the city and those in the suburbs. On the latest statewide tests in “English Language Arts” (which we used to call “English”: reading, writing, grammar), only 24.4 percent of children in third grade in Rochester’s schools met or exceeded state “proficiency standards.” In other words, they scored high enough to show that they know what they should know at their grade level. In the eighth grade, the rate was 16.6 percent. In a handful of suburban schools, thirdgrade scores are also distressingly low, with the proficiency percentages in the high 30’s. But overall, the levels in suburban schools are substantially higher than those in the vast majority of city schools. No, test scores aren’t — and shouldn’t be — the only measure of how a child is doing in school. But taken as a whole, they do tell us something, just as graduation rates do. And the latest scores tell us that more than 70 percent of the city’s children — predominantly black and Hispanic, predominantly poor — aren’t learning enough to have a productive future. It isn’t because the teachers in the Rochester district are doing a bad job — any more than teachers in Pittsford (whose district topped the list in Monroe County, at 86.3 percent in third-grade ELA and 83.6 percent in eighth-grade ELA) are doing a better job than everybody else. (Look at the test scores, and you can tell where the rich people live. Where the besteducated parents live.) I read through the entire ELA list of Rochester schools, class by class, and it’s just incredibly depressing. Hardly any class at any school scored above 50 percent. In the school that bears Martin Luther King Jr.’s name, 6.5 percent of the third-graders were “proficient” in ELA. And that wasn’t the lowest school. That wasn’t the lowest. This is a community problem — and it’s a community problem that we keep twisting to fit our own opinion about the significance of poverty, the role of teachers, and the role of government. Meanwhile, all of those children — more than 70 percent of the children in Rochester’s public schools — are winding their way through the education system toward a truly dismal adulthood.
More than 70 percent of the city’s children — predominantly black and Hispanic, predominantly poor — aren’t learning enough to have a productive future.” The children reflected in these test scores are in third through eighth grade. If they can’t read now, how do we think they’ll do in high school? What do we think they’ll learn there? How would you like to teach highschool science or history to a class in which 70 percent of the students can’t read well? How do we think we’ll get the graduation rate up to a high level? Why do we think these children would want to continue to go to school? We are doing these children more than a disservice. We are doing them great harm. And we still don’t have the will to come together and address it. And let me bring up the obvious: While the school district didn’t cause the poverty that leads to this tragedy, and while it can’t remedy this by itself, it can do one important thing. It can end the practice of “social promotion,” in which we pass children on to the next grade even if they haven’t learned what they should have. As we can tell from the test scores, we’re passing them on at an alarming rate.

Good to sue
Activist Emily Good has taken the first steps to sue the City of Rochester over her arrest last May. Good says the arrest violated her state and federal civil rights, and that she has suffered humiliation, shame, stress, loss of appetite, damage to her reputation, physical pain and suffering, and other negative consequences as a result. Good was videotaping a traffic stop by the Rochester Police Department when she got into a verbal dispute with an officer. The charge against Good was later dismissed.
More time for frack talk?
The chairs of the State Senate and Assembly Environmental Conservation Committees say they want a 180-day comment period on the state’s environmental review of hydraulic fracturing. Right now, the comment period is supposed to start this month and last 60 days.
Pay up for water
The Monroe County Water Authority says that water rates could increase by as much as 5 percent a year for the next four years. Officials based the forecast on
an independent analysis of authority service costs. Any rate hike will be set when the board approves its budget later this year.

Frankel wants earlier budget
Democratic County Executive candidate Sandra Frankel called on Republican County Executive Maggie Brooks to release the county budget before the election. In 2006, most of the Legislature’s Republican majority voted to move the budget deadline to after the election. Frankel said the public should be able to see the budget before heading to the polls.

Washington Grove’s turnaround
Washington Grove’s invasive Norway maple population is much smaller than it was two years ago. And native species are growing in its place. The city of Rochester is leading a project to clear invasive species out of Washington Grove, a 100-acre park just east of the Cobb’s Hill reservoir. Over the past two years, city foresters have felled Norway maples on 11 acres of the park, while volunteers have helped with tasks like pulling out other invasive species and making poles from the felled maples for trail markers.
Teacher evaluations go to court
State Supreme Court Justice Michael Lynch heard arguments from the State Education Department and New York State United Teachers over regulations that would allow up to 40 percent of a teacher’s evaluation to be based on state test scores. As of press time, Lynch had not made a ruling in the case.

Norway maples are not native to the US and aren’t a good fit in Washington Grove’s old-growth forest. They grow up tall and fast and have extensive root networks, all of which means they outcompete native plants. With the Norways out of the way, native plants are thriving, says Peter Debes, a Sierra Club member and a lead coordinator for the volunteers. They’re growing back amid large, several-hundred-year-old trees. “This growth is a real treasure for any city to have,” Debes says. Cutting down the maples has created holes in the canopy, which helps some of the native plants grow,
says City Forester Brian Liberti. Work crews have replanted some understory trees and bushes, including dogwood, viburnum, and young oaks and hickories, Liberti says. Those plants are shade tolerant, which makes them suited to the grove, he says. The Washington Grove project should be completed within the next two years, Liberti says. But volunteers and the city will have to make an ongoing effort to keep the unwanted trees and plants from coming back.

The Town of Pittsford is proposing a new, general zoning district for all residential areas. It would let the town develop neighborhood-specific requirements for things like lot sizes, setbacks, house size, and architectural details. Supervisor Bill Carpenter calls the approach “context-based zoning.”

Zoning overhaul planned for Pittsford Pittsford officials say they want to change the way the town looks at zoning: focusing more on neighborhood character and less on rigid standards. Supervisor Bill Carpenter calls the approach “context-based zoning.” The town is proposing a new, general zoning district for all residential areas. The Residential Neighborhood District would let the town develop neighborhoodspecific requirements for things like lot sizes, setbacks, house size, and architectural details. “It basically says that when a decision is made, it can no longer be made on an individual lot,” Carpenter says. “It’s got to be on the context of the setting it’s in.” Pittsford’s neighborhoods vary in age and character: houses on San Rafael Drive differ in design from the homes in the historic Long Meadow subdivision, for example, which in turn have different lot sizes than homes in newer subdivisions. Under the new law, uniform standards would no longer apply to disparate neighborhoods, and that could be a good thing, says Caitlin Meives, preservation planner for the Landmark Society of Western New York. The Landmark Society has not taken a position on the changes. The proposal would also shrink the Historic Preservation Commission from

seven members to five, and create a new Design Review Board to review and approve changes to designated historic buildings. The Preservation Commission does that now. The Caitlin Meives. FILE PHOTO commission would continue to designate buildings as local historic landmarks. The new board would also replace the Architectural Review Board. The ARB reviews plans for new homes and proposed changes to non-historic buildings. Historic Pittsford supports context-based zoning, but not the part of the proposal that alters the Historic Preservation Commission. And members say historic reviews should remain with a preservation-focused commission. “It’s a disconnect that doesn’t make sense to us,” says Joe Maxey, the organization’s vice president. Carpenter says that the reorganization will improve the reviews. For example, the board can make sure that improvements to non-historic houses respect neighboring historic houses, he says.

Fewer than 25 percent of city school students in grades three through eight are proficient in English, based on the results of the 2010-2011 state tests released last week. Math scores were only slightly better, with 29.4 of city students in grades three through eight either meeting or exceeding the state’s standards. | The scores haven’t changed much from last year. But it’s the relatively few students at grade three who are exceeding standards — what some educators describe as a predictor of future performance — that’s most troubling. For example, 2,365 students in grade three took the English Language Arts test, and only onehalf of 1 percent of the students exceeded state standards. There was little difference in grade eight scores, where 2,165 students took the ELA test, and only two-tenths of 1 percent exceeded state standards. | Some elementary schools, such as Schools 29, 44, and 3 had almost no students in grades three through eight who exceeded the state’s standards. | The state’s English and math scores also showed that the achievement gap persists between white students and their minority peers. | Overall, Rochester students performed better than their peers in Syracuse, but not as well as students in Buffalo and New York City.

POLICE | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Policing the watchdogs: inside RPD oversight Two recent high-profile arrests have brought to the forefront an issue that Rochester has struggled with for decades: oversight of the Rochester Police Department. The first was the arrest of Monroe County Legislator Willie Lightfoot, who pleaded guilty to DWI but maintains his innocence. The second was the arrest of activist Emily Good following a verbal altercation with a police officer. The charge against Good was later dismissed. Neither Good nor Lightfoot filed complaints about the way they were treated by police, although it’s clear both felt they had been mistreated. Why not? Because, they say, their complaints wouldn’t have been handled fairly. They don’t trust the system. Complaints against police officers are investigated by the RPD’s Professional Standards Section. And if the complaints involve the use of force or potential criminal behavior by a police officer, the PSS investigations are then reviewed by the Civilian Review Board. The police chief can also refer cases to the CRB at his discretion. Regardless of what either investigation finds, however, the police chief determines if and how officers get punished. Critics’ complaints about Rochester’s police oversight system are pretty consistent: police are investigating the police, investigations take too long, the process is convoluted, and average people are shut out. Critics say the Civilian Review Board is a toothless tiger that lacks the authority to do what’s necessary: conduct a full, independent investigation of citizen complaints. Many people don’t even know Rochester has a Civilian Review Board. Police officers have their own problems with the oversight system. Accused officers and their representatives can’t see the investigative file on their cases, says police union President Mike Mazzeo, so they can’t put on a proper defense and can’t judge whether recommended punishments are just. The PSS hearing officer’s determination isn’t binding, and the police chief can disregard it. And police officers have no recourse, Mazzeo says, when false complaints are lodged against them. “We don’t have a fair process for our officers,” he says. “So how are our members supposed to believe in a system and buy into a system that’s simply not fair? Our people have fewer rights in the front of the police car than the people they have in handcuffs in the back seat of the car. That’s reality.” Here’s how the system works: You can file
a complaint against a police officer at one of two places: the RPD’s Professional Standards Section on Lyell Avenue, or at the Center for Dispute Settlement — the agency that runs the City

Civilian Review Board — on East Main Street downtown, in the Reynolds Arcade building. Complaints filed at the center are forwarded to Professional Standards, which is where the investigation into your complaint begins. Professional Standards has six sergeants, two stenographers, and a lieutenant who is the section’s commanding officer. On average, the section handles 65 to 100 complaints annually, and each sergeant carries about 10 cases at a time. The sergeants take stenographic statements from the complainant and the accused officer. They look at evidence, which may include surveillance pictures or video, and witness statements. Unlike the process in the courts, however, family members and fellow police officers -- though they may be interviewed and their statements taken -- are not considered independent witnesses. There are four possible rulings to each complaint: sustained; exonerated; unfounded (meaning that the complaint is without merit); or unprovable (meaning that there isn’t enough evidence to prove or disprove the allegations). The results of the investigation are reviewed by the accused officer’s supervisors, and eventually go to the police chief for final resolution. If PSS has sustained the complaint, the chief also gets a penalty recommendation for the accused officer. But the PSS results are not binding. The final word is always up the police chief. The whole process takes time. As recently as 2009, investigations were taking approximately a year to complete, but that’s been cut down to approximately five months. Lieutenant H. Wilson Johnson, commanding officer of PSS, credits the reduction to the addition of another investigating sergeant and to biweekly roundtables where PSS officers discuss their cases. The investigations benefit, Johnson says, from the fresh input.
Johnson says he’d like to reduce the time it takes to do investigations even further, but it’s difficult because the process is involved and complainants aren’t always as cooperative as they could be. “It’s horribly frustrating for people to have to wait for findings, and we understand that,” Johnson says. Complainants are periodically sent letters, he says, to let them know how the investigations are proceeding. Many of the complaints end up in the “unprovable” category, and Johnson says that’s probably what’s to blame for some of the complaints about PSS. “Because we’re not taking a side, because we can’t take a side, people are unhappy,” he says. Johnson says complaints that PSS can’t be objective are off base. “One of the things we take very seriously here is the integrity of the investigation and the fairness of the investigation,” he says. “That’s something I believe strongly in, and I try to make sure every investigation is done thoroughly and fairly and impartially.” For some complaints, the next step is a review
by the Civilian Review Board, which grew out of the police shooting of a young black woman, Denise Hawkins, in the 1970’s. The CRB gets any case in which an officer is accused of using excessive force or might have been involved in criminal behavior. The police chief can also select other cases for the CRB’s review. The CRB consists of volunteers who are trained mediators affiliated with the Center for Dispute Settlement. Center mediators who express an interest in serving on the Civilian Review Board undergo 32 hours of training in police policy, procedures, and tactics. The members spend time at the police academy learning about probable cause, what
kind of force police officers can use in what circumstance, the RPD’s standard operating procedures, and other police policies and procedures. CRB members are also required to do at least one eight-hour ride-along with a Rochester police officer every year. “If you’re going to evaluate an officer’s action in a specific situation, you really need to know what’s expected,” says Frank Liberti, director of police-community relations with the Center for Dispute Settlement. “When is it appropriate, for example, to go to another level of force?” Three-person panels are chosen from the pool of eligible mediators to form the Civilian Review Board. These panels review the investigations done by Professional Standards. “We look at all the materials: the testimony, the evidence, sometimes the complainant agrees to be videotaped, there may be surveillance materials, there may be statements by witnesses,” says William Daniels, a CRB mediator. “The package is comprehensive.” The board can also speak to witnesses and are free to ask for additional information from the police chief, mayor, and City Council. The CRB does not have independent subpoena power, but it can ask Council members to subpoena people on the board’s behalf. Members can also ask for demonstrations, like how to properly use a Taser or handcuffs, to help inform a review. “That process is refined as we go along because following each review, we evaluate that review,” Daniels says. “Did we have sufficient material? Was it presented in understandable order? What other recommendations would you make? Should there have been anything else included? Was the material biased toward the police?” The reviews usually take about two weeks, though more complicated cases take longer. The CRB reviewed 32 cases last year, with a total of approximately 109 allegations. (Many complaints have more than one allegation.) The CRB has the same four possible findings as the Professional Standards Section: exonerated, sustained, unprovable, and unfounded. Members can also pass a split decision on to the police chief, or they can decline to review a case if they feel they don’t have enough information. The five-year average of sustained complaints is about 12.5 percent, Liberti says. The CRB sends its findings to the police chief, and the chief decides what, if any, punishment will take place. It’s also up to the police chief to decide whether to release the findings to the public.

as examples the ticketing of Good supporters at a meeting after her encounter and arrest went public, and the alleged police harassment of members of Students for a Democratic Society after a 2009 rally on Main Street. “You feel like you’re going to get targeted if you just make a complaint,” Adams says. People must challenge the system, he says, or it will never change. Eagle says that one of the system’s greatest flaws is its insular nature: the initial review is carried out by police officers who have been trained by other police officers, and a police officer — the chief — has the final word. “It absolutely does not work,” he says. “People don’t believe they’re going to get justice.” City Council member Adam McFadden,

Activist Emily Good says she didn’t file a
complaint about her May arrest because she had a bad experience trying to file a complaint once before. That earlier time, she went to the Hall of Justice, she says, because she didn’t feel comfortable going to the police department. “I kind of got a runaround,” she says. “The first two people said, ‘I don’t know how you file a complaint.’ And so when the third person said, ‘Go to the police department,’ I threw up my hands and said, ‘I’m not going to do that.’” Good says she is “marginally familiar” with the Civilian Review Board, but that the oversight process is lengthy and convoluted. And the CRB lacks teeth, she says: it should be able to initiate the termination of officers. Good and fellow activists Ricardo Adams and Howard Eagle belong to the Rochester Police Accountability Coalition, a community group that meets at the Flying Squirrel Community Space on Clarissa Street. Adams says the oversight process lacks accountability and transparency. The final decision shouldn’t be up to the police chief, he says, and the community should be informed of the outcome of PSS and CRB investigations. But state judiciary law requires confidentiality from the CRB, members say. “If you hear of any findings, you can take it to the bank that it did not come from this organization,” says Sherry Walker-Cowart, president and CEO of the Center for Dispute Settlement. Adams says people are reluctant to file complaints because they fear retaliation. He cites
who also chairs Council’s Public Safety Committee, is leading an effort to reform police oversight. He’s forming a 15member commission with people from the community, police union, police chief’s office, Rochester’s religious community, the Center for Dispute Settlement, and others. The commission, which McFadden and Police Chief Jim Sheppard co-chair, starts meeting next month. And members of the Civilian Review Board have compiled their own suggestions for improvements to the oversight they provide. (They declined to share the list until they’ve showed it to City Council.) One thing CRB members are doing is community outreach. They say they know that awareness is lacking and they want to change that. “We’re anxious for people to know more about us,” Liberti says. But it’s not clear that whatever reforms take place will make everyone happy. Many different models of police oversight exist throughout the country, says John Klofas, professor of criminal justice at the Rochester Institute of Technology, and no single system has won unanimous approval from the community it serves. “There are strengths and weaknesses to each model, and no one’s really overly happy with any of them,” he says. “It’s hard to see how to repair that issue. People are always very concerned about police issues. Ultimately, the courts are the arbiters with civil lawsuits.” And the intensity of activism tends to ebb and flow in Rochester, Klofas says. When people get re-engaged, he says, policing is often one of the first places they look. Good and Adams say any oversight system should be built and run by the community. “I think if people are participating in the construction of the system, then we could voice whatever we feel is necessary,” Good says. “Creating an environment where people feel comfortable sharing stories and talking about what they need is a major first challenge. We need some real commitment to public forums and listening to people in a way that really makes people know that they’re safe.”

GUEST COMMENTARY
Pathways to peace: lessons from a trip Nine of us from Rochester returned recently from a two-week visit to IsraelPalestine, where we traveled with 23 other Americans — Christians, Jews, and Muslims — under the auspices of InterFaith Peace-Builders to learn more about the conflict by meeting with residents and peace activists from both Israeli and Palestinian communities. We believe that the occupation of the Palestinian territories should end, and we were greatly saddened by much of what we heard about the occupation from Israelis and Palestinians. We sensed the rising emotion in Israeli mothers’ voices as they told us of the fear instilled by rockets shot from Gaza, and we heard of Palestinian mothers’ fear that their teenage sons would be harassed and arrested as they pass through checkpoints on their way to school. Neither of these are fears that mothers should have to have for their children. We found that efforts that are intended to enhance security can have the opposite effect by breeding conflict, misunderstanding, and fear. The security barrier (the “wall”), erected to reduce violence, separates Palestinians from Israelis and takes away Palestinian land. As a result, encounters between Israelis and Palestinians are confrontational, rather than personal or neighborly interactions. Palestinians encounter settlers when settlers attack Palestinians in their own olive groves, and they encounter soldiers in random late-night raids on their homes. Israeli civilians only encounter Palestinians through the media. We acknowledge the imbalance of power that exists between Israelis and Palestinians, and we have seen that Palestinians are suffering under the occupation. Here is some of what we learned from Palestinians and Israelis who work for peace within their communities: Nomika Zion, an Israeli resident of Sderot, keeps in touch by phone with ordinary Gaza Palestinians who are unable to escape from Gaza. Dorothy Naor, an Israeli activist in Tel Aviv, works to raise awareness about the influence of the military upon Israeli society, especially when all who are eligible must enter the Army at age 18 and may wind up enforcing the occupation at a checkpoint or in a military situation. Sami Awad, a Palestinian, is director of the Holy Land Trust in Bethlehem. Sami’s father and his family were evicted in 1948 from their home in West Jerusalem, but City
august 17-23, 2011
In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, “We should understand the issues and the people.” Sami’s grandmother insisted that the family should not hate and not seek revenge. Today Sami is a local community leader in Bethlehem who looks for non-violent ways for his community to resist the occupation. We stayed overnight in Bil’in where weekly protests against the routing of the security barrier have recently yielded a measure of justice in the courts after seven years. The local community leader and our host, Iyad Burnat, has continued to urge that these weekly protests should be conducted non-violently, even in the face of Army tear gas canisters and “skunk” water shot from cannons at protesters. We listened to Palestinians asking for the “right of return” to their former lands. These Palestinians distinguish the principle of “right of return” from the feasibility of implementing a “right of return.” They seem open to practical alternatives once their fundamental right is acknowledged. As US citizens, we cannot afford to let others choose our priorities. Significant US funding is being used to promote the occupation, and American charitable institutions support illegal settlements on Palestinian land, reducing the hope for a negotiated settlement. In addition, the conflict affects American relationships with other countries around the world. We all have a stake in working for a negotiated settlement to the conflict. We should understand the issues and find ways to become more familiar with both Palestinians and Israelis so that we understand them as people, not as generalizations or labels. There are opportunities for interfaith dialogue, books about the conflict, Israeli and Palestinian films, and trips that inform. We urge everyone to be involved in some way.

D’Mangu — a new Henrietta restaurant — serves Dominican dishes, like its downtown sister, El Sabor de la Isla. PHOTOS BY MATT DETURCK
D’lish dish [ CHOW HOUND ] BY SUSIE HUME
As a follow-up to their popular downtown Dominican cuisine restaurant El Sabor de la Isla, husband and wife Luis Tejada and Yesenia Cruz opened D’Mangu Dominican Restaurant last month in Henrietta. Their new suburban venture is spacious and vibrantly decorated with bright orange, green, and yellow paints, along with bright and lively art adorning the walls. The name D’Mangu is a reference to a traditional Dominican dish called mangú (pronounced man-GOO) — available as a side on the restaurant’s menu — made of boiled, mashed plantains mixed with cheese, often topped with fried vegetables or meat. The menu includes a variety of appetizers, salads, soups, meat or seafood entrees, desserts, and even specialty beverages. Notable selections are available in every category, including patacones (or thickly sliced, fried plantains), ensalada de pulpo (octopus salad), paella (a traditional Spanish rice dish cooked over an open fire, though made with annatto instead of saffron in Dominican cuisine), bistec empanizado (breaded steak), chicharonnes de pollo (fried chicken pieces), and asopao de camarones (shrimp and rice soup). Dessert selections include bizcucho tres leches (three milk cake), flan, and habichuelas
con dulce (a pudding made of kidney beans and condensed milk). The house drink, morirsonando, is made of orange juice, milk, cane sugar and chopped ice. D’Mangu Dominican Restaurant is located at 1475 E. Henrietta Road. It is open daily 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Prices range from $10$24. For more information, call 424-2200 or visit its page on Facebook.
Mo’ pho
SEA Restaurant (741 Monroe Ave) owners
Mao Seng and Vilay Sysavath have opened a new restaurant in Irondequoit called VietThai (the couple also owns a restaurant in Niagara Falls, NY, called Mii Restaurant) in the location formerly home to Asian Jade. Like SEA Restaurant, Viet-Thai offers a variety of Southeast Asian cuisine, including Vietnamese, Thai, Lao, and Cambodian (Seng and Sysavath are Cambodian and Laotian, respectively). While the menu at SEA Restaurant focuses mostly on several varieties of pho (a Vietnamese soup), Viet-Thai offers a wider menu of rice, noodle, and curry dishes, as well as the aforementioned pho. Some of the dishes offered include a spicy basil fried rice (made with egg, roasted pepper, and basil), kaeng phet (red curry with
basil, red pepper, eggplant, and bamboo served with chicken, pork, beef, or shrimp) and vermicelli noodles with cucumbers, beansprouts, mint, and crushed peanuts served with chicken, pork, or beef. Viet Thai is located at 1780 E. Ridge Road. It is open Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m.-9 p.m. and Friday-Saturday 11 a.m.10 p.m. Prices range from $6 to $12. For more information, call 266-8878 or visit its page on Facebook.
Born in a barn
American steakhouse Pittsford Grill has opened in the former site of longstanding restaurant Crystal Barn, which closed last year. The space is a three-story converted barn, rich with exposed beams and decorative chandeliers. The menu focuses mostly on upscale steak and seafood fare with options like a 16 oz. ribeye or 20 oz. porterhouse steak, seafood cioppino (shrimp, scallop, clams, and mussels in a tomato saffron wine sauce), pistachio-crusted sea bass and lamb lollipops. The upper dining area also features live jazz music on Fridays and Saturdays. Pittsford Grill is located at 2851 Clover St. It is open Tuesday-Thursday 4:30-9:30 p.m. and Friday-Saturday 4:30-10:30 p.m. Prices range from $15 to $30. For
National sandwich franchise Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches opened in Webster last month (1075 Ridge Road). The sandwich shop has two simple offerings — subs and clubs — both of which come in several varieties on either French or seven-grain bread. Typical offerings include sandwiches stuffed with roast beef, tuna, turkey, and ham. Some of the more notable sandwiches include the “J.J. Gargantuan,” which contains five meats (genoa salami, sliced smoked ham, capicola, roast beef, and turkey), provolone cheese, onions, tomatoes, and mayonnaise and homemade Italian dressing; or the vegetarian-friendly sandwich or club, both topped with provolone, avocado spread, sliced cucumber, alfalfa sprouts, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. Jimmy John’s is open daily 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Prices range from $4 to $8. For more information, call 236-1123 or visit jimmyjohns.com. National fondue chain The Melting Pot is expected to open in The Marketplace Mall (290 Miracle Mile Drive) on Wednesday, August 24. The restaurant offers several styles of fondue, including cheese, chocolate, vegetable bouillon and bourguignonne (canola oil). The cheese fondues come in five varieties, including a cheddar cheese and lager fondue with jalapenos and salsa, a Wisconsin trio made with fontina, butterkase, and bleu cheese with sherry and scallions, and a traditional Swiss fondue made with gruyere and emmenthaler along with white wine, nutmeg, and garlic; all are served with a variety or breads, vegetables, and apples. Entrees come with variety of meat and seafood selections including filet mignon, salmon, shrimp, chicken, and duck. For dessert, chocolate fondue is offered with dipping choices like strawberries, bananas, cheesecake, and marshmallows. Prices range from $15 to $40; four-course and couples packages are available. For more information, call 424-6358 or visit meltingpot.com. National seafood chain Joe’s Crab Shack is slated to open in Henrietta (100 Marketplace Drive) in early September. The restaurant is known for its buckets and steampots of seafood including crab, lobster, clams, and shrimp. It also serves burgers, pasta dishes, and a wide array of appetizers and salads. Prices range from $10 to $30. For more information, visit joescrabshack.com. Do you have a food or restaurant tip for our Chow Hound?

Forging a path EMERGING ARTISTS IN ROCHESTER ART FEATURE | BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
Artists are known for their powers of creation, but one little-considered element is their manifestation of a career path. Aside from technical training and aesthetic theory, there is sparse school guidance in the way of breaking into the art business and keeping afloat. And it’s one of the most innately competitive fields you can go into: though art work is valued and desired by many, it is hardly at the top of the list of vital services. So, working hard to achieve a level of talent is only half the battle. Artists must also struggle to find and compete for venues where their work can be shared. In the following debut piece on emerging artists in Rochester, four locally based creators who work in different media provide insight on their origins, their

work, and how they keep art in the forefront of their lives while they make, and live, their plans. In researching this piece, some common advice among emerging artists surfaced: you have to be ambitious, chase or even invent opportunities, and be willing to self-advocate. You must banish the shy impulse and focus on your artistic drive. You must stay connected to art at all times, and choose jobs in the periphery of art fields when forced to work outside of the studio. Many emerging artists are also concerned with the value of more education versus more street-smart hustle, and find that moving to a new city is often necessary in order to seek out opportunities in more creatively promising communities. The question in many artists’ minds: is Rochester one of them?
Peter Pincus
“I have always had an obsessive personality,” says ceramicist Peter Pincus, who recently became the manager of the ceramics studio at Genesee Center for the Arts and Education. “When I believe in the potential of something I will chase it.” Pincus has been making pottery since he was a junior at Pittsford Sutherland High School, and supplemented the school’s lack of resources by taking community ceramics classes from Carol Bell at Genesee Pottery at the Genesee Center. Pincus received both his BFA (in 2005) and MFA (in 2011) from Alfred University, but in the year between earning those degrees, squeezed in a residency at the Mendocino Art Center in California and a summer of working on Wayne Higby’s “Earth Cloud” installation at Alfred University, managed the Turk Hill Craft School in Fairport, and worked in his own studio to develop a mature portfolio for graduate school. “In the beginning I wanted to make something that I had never found in a store,” says Pincus of his focus on ceramics. “At the time I did not think I was pursuing anything, and I was actually embarrassed by it because it didn’t seem as cool as what my friends were doing.” But the artist tried not to question his urge to create and later, “making became a political mission to change the general perception of wheel-thrown clay, which is often seen as ‘crafty,’” he says.
Pincus’ works are vessels of structured grace; the diversely shaped containers range from perfect bottles with colorful strands and bands to crumpled hourglass forms. “I make extravagant ceramic containers in response to aristocratic objects past and present,” he says. “Ceramics has a wonderful history with the aristocratic vessel. It used to be the object of personal luxury,” he says, but argues that for the rich, the art form has been replaced by high-tech, massproduced gadgetry. “I see a purpose in redirecting people’s attention to fine ceramic containers,” he says. In addition to continuing to develop his own work and serving as the manager of the ceramics studio at the Genesee Center, Pincus is an adjunct professor of ceramics at Roberts Wesleyan College, provides demonstrational workshops at visiting artist venues throughout the country, and applies for as many show opportunities as possible. “My schedule is hectic,” he says, “which is actually helpful because it forces me to be organized and focused during the day. I refuse to let my work in the studio slip out of the schedule, so I will often trade sleep for work time.” The artist also built a basement studio in his house and treats it as if it were his living room. Pincus counts Genesee Pottery, Studio Sales Pottery, Turk Hill Craft School, Crocus Clay Works, and Coach Street Clay among the local venues where ceramicists and novices alike may work “in a positive

environment with competent teachers. There is a supportive community here,” he says, but adds that Rochester falls short with regards to “communication between academic institutions where students who are about to move forward can gain a larger network. RIT, Nazareth, Roberts Wesleyan and Alfred University have different students, different viewpoints, and show different visiting artists’ work,” Pincus says. “The students need to experience it all; the experience will make them more complete.” The artist also sees an imbalance in our appreciation for art versus other consumables: “Rochester’s general population has a stronger appreciation for fine food, fine drink, and performance arts than they do visual arts,” Pincus says. “Folks pack the streets for the Rochester International Jazz Festival because they want to see, hear, and experience local and international culture,” he says, while art receptions often see far fewer viewers. “It is my goal in the next 10 years to figure out why this is so,” he says. You can check out Pincus’ work at Mostly Clay in Pittsford, and soon, on his website at peterpincus.com.
PRINTMAKING
Heather Swenson
Heather Swenson finds that the woodcut medium “provides a perfect connection between my interests in printmaking, drawing, and sculpture.”
Printmaker and painter Heather Swenson will enter her senior year at Purchase College this fall, but has already been getting attention around Rochester for her woodcuts. Swenson received second place in the painting-drawing-graphics category at the 2011 Corn Hill Arts Festival, as well as last year’s winner of Corn Hill’s 2nd Annual Emerging Artist Expo. Swenson enjoyed drawing and painting in high school, and was encouraged by her art teachers to pursue an art degree in college. For the past couple of years, Swenson has been focusing heavily in the printmaking medium of woodcut. “I really love the process, from starting out with a drawing on the block to the physicality of the cutting and printing,” the artist says in her statement. “I like that the process feels very sculptural but results with an image on paper. Woodcut provides a perfect connection between my interests in printmaking, drawing, and sculpture.” In her current work, Swenson depicts small objects interacting within environments she has set up for them, “sort of like microcosms,” she says. “Most of the things I use in these set-ups are my own sculptures, childhood trinkets, found items, or gifts that people have given to or made for me.” Swenson enjoys playing with the scale of these set-ups, and “trying to create confusion over the size of them and how they relate to the viewer,” she says. “I enjoy the tactile nature continues on page 12 rochestercitynewspaper.com City 11

of arranging objects into familiar and intimate interactions.” She describes the works’ resultant mood as “intimate but sort of sad at the same time.” Swenson has been involved with ARTISANworks for nearly five years during breaks from school, working the front desk and aiding with events. She likes what Rochester Contemporary Art Center offers to the city and feels that our city could use more spaces like it. Participating in festivals, including Corn Hill, has been a positive experience for her, in that it affords the young artist

the opportunity to meet and discuss her work with other artists and viewers. During the less-structured days of summer, Swenson finds it more difficult to make work. “I often get restless or stressed out, which creates concerns for how I will continue to want to make art once I’m out of a school setting. But I’ve recently started painting more, after working with an artist in Brooklyn for a few days,” she says. “It’s nice to feel excited and motivated about that right now.” Swenson’s game plan flirts with graduate school after she’s worked for a
PHOTOGRAPHY
Top: An untitled photo illustration by Jennifer Fleet. Left: Fleet recently moved to Rochester and is focusing on two kinds of photography; mythic portraits and hyperrealistic food shots.
Jennifer Fleet
“For me being an artist is not a choice, it is fundamentally who I am,” begins the artist’s statement of fine-art photographer Jennifer Fleet. Though she always knew she wanted to attend art school, and was accepted into Maryland Institute of Art and School of Visual Art in New York back in 1994, lack of funds caused her to give up her dream — though she still practiced her art. Fleet’s mother died unexpectedly in 2003, and “this traumatic event reminded me that life goes by in a heartbeat and can end anytime.” With new motivation, Fleet went back to school at the age of 35 and graduated with honors in 2010 with a BFA in photography. But newly ordained art grads still have bills to pay. Before her move to Rochester just more than a month ago, Fleet worked for one of the gift shops of the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. “I felt stuck and unhappy and needed to do something major, make a big change,” she says. Fleet researched cities where it is easier to live and work as an artist — in other words, places with a relatively low cost of living and a thriving arts community. She now lives within a 10-block radius of museums, galleries, studios, art schools, and libraries with wonderful photography books, and enjoys the monthly First Friday gallery walks and the various festivals Rochester has to offer. “What I love most about photography is that it gives you the ability to freeze time, create and record a moment that cannot be duplicated,” says Fleet. “It is the nature of time to be constantly moving and evolving so that every second is

year or two, possibly as an intern at an arts organization or with children, while making her own work and participating in shows. Within five years, Swenson would like to have her own studio, perhaps in the New York City area, painting and making woodcuts, but also pursuing her interests in sculpture and photography as well. “I know I always want to be involved in many disciplines,” she says. Viewers can peek at Swenson’s woodcuts and drawings at heatherswenson. com, which will soon feature more recent work from this past year.
different from the previous second. Photographers are like magicians when they capture a fleeting moment, expression or gesture.” Fleet enjoys creating “moments in realities that are alternatives to our own,” she says. She is fascinated by the idea that we are the creators of our own lives and realities, and tries to capture this feeling of creation in her work. Fleet’s work essentially divides into two distinct categories of dreamy surrealist narratives and hyper-real food photography. Her “In Dreams Revealed” and “Imaginings” series features mythic (often self-) portraits inspired by the question of how imagination works and where these images originate. Her food photos are unbelievably luscious and seriously showcase the forms and colors of consumables. Fleet is still adjusting to life in Rochester, and is looking for a job, possibly freelance work in food photography, she says. In the meantime she’s honing her craft. “Every day I work on a piece of art, even if it’s something simple,” Fleet says. Fleet keeps several projects going at once, branching out into jewelry, collage, paintings, and drawings, and she plans to add installation pieces and create short films. To keep art in the forefront of her life, Fleet sends work out to galleries in pursuit of representation, and maintains a website where she presents and sells her work at jenniferfleetphotography.net. In the near future, Fleet would like to earn a master’s of fine arts degree in photography and shift toward earning income solely from her artwork.
Marisa Krol
The dabbling, wandering life of metalsmith Marisa Krol has recently become slightly more focused. The young jewelry artist originally attended school in pursuit of a sociology degree, studied painting and portraiture, traveled to the southern states and to Bolivia, and now works at Anderson Alley with veteran adornment artist Sharon Jeter. “Creation of tangible, visual art has always been with me,” says Krol. “Creating brings me a sense of peace, stillness, and joy. It’s for these reasons I continue the pursuit.”
For Krol, art is largely about connecting with others. “How I live my life is my artist statement,” she says. “I’m concerned with the dissonance between people of the world today, and I am interested in lessening that gap by initiating conversation.” She likens her craft to these dialogues, stating that she works at “conversing” with metal, which “often involves surrender,” she says. “Metal is my greatest teacher. The reward is one of the finest pleasures of my life, seeing a piece find
In addition to creating her own delicate jewelry work, metalsmith Marisa Krol has co-founded the Hearts and Crafts Indie Market.
its person, and the story that often surrounds their attraction,” she says. Krol’s works are delicate bits of natureinspired forms soldered together into clusters with a zen-like focus on simplicity and balance or asymmetry. The slices of clouds, crosssections of hives, and little linked hoops and leaves fit wearers who prefer sophisticatedly simple and beautifully crafted elegance. Krol says that Rochester is a perfectsized city, and that individuals, artistic and otherwise, can have a real impact here. “As an artist, there are ample opportunities to show work and a supportive community of art appreciation.” There are also artists willing to work with one another and show others the ropes. In the summer of 2009, Krol participated in an “art garage sale” with friends during the Park Ave Summer Art Festival, and met Jeter, a fine silversmith who later agreed to take Krol on as an apprentice. Besides continuing to learn more about metal and striving to create more minimalist works, Krol founded and runs the successful Hearts and Crafts Indie Market with photographer Lisa Barker, which involves a host of local artists and crafters in a one- or two-day event, typically outside Java’s Cafe on Gibbs Street or Starry Nites Cafe on University. The pair regularly scouts new talent for the show, which has an ever-growing audience with a “growing appreciation for what these grassroots efforts have to offer.” These indie shows support the local economy while they “empower the individual, build confidence and connectivity, and support the ‘American dream’ of free enterprise,” says Krol. “The connections that have been born of this network are just beautiful.” Krol consigns work to local and regional boutiques, including Thread on South Avenue and Dorje Adornments on Alexander Street, and supplements her income by working part-time at Starry Nites Cafe, and occasionally picking up a nannying gig. But in order to keep her craft as a top priority, Krol lives in a way to support it as her primary interest. Krol looks forward to future collaborations with artists of all backgrounds, creating more custom work, and hopes to take on students in the near future. “I really appreciate how Sharon [Jeter] has allowed me to learn and develop as an artist in this trade,” she says, “and I’d like to pay it forward.” Krol has a website under construction, but in the meantime, you can view her work on her Facebook page (search “interstellar love craft”), at Stefan Otter Fine Jewelers (3349 Monroe Ave.) and Embrasse-Moi (1 N. Main St., Pittsford). Coming up, Krol will have a table at Wedgestock on August 20, and will participate in Clothesline Art Festival in September.

Braun also wrote a Top 20 hit for REO Speedwagon, “Here With Me.” Before launching his solo career in the early 1990’s, Braun toured with Tina Turner, Natalie Cole, Tom Petty, Rickie Lee Jones, and War. — BY RON NETSKY
The O’Jays Saturday, August 20 Blue Cross Arena, 1 War Memorial Square 8 p.m. | $53-$75 | bluecrossarena.com [ R&B ] Modern audiences are probably most familiar
with the funky R&B sound of The O’Jays via NBC’s “The Apprentice.” The group’s “For the Love of Money” was a perfect choice for the theme song to the Donald Trump reality show that’s all about the lengths people will go to to make that mean, mean green. Of course, there are more hits in The O’Jays’ arsenal, including the 1973 No. 1 smash “Love Train.” The group has been inducted into both the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Also on the bill for this suave show are The Whispers (“Rock Steady”) and 1990’s New Jack Swing crooner Keith Sweat. — BY ERIC REZSNYAK

Amon Amarth Sunday, August 21 Water Street Music Hall, 204 N. Water St. 8:30 p.m. | $20-$25 | 325-5600 [ VIKING METAL ] Amon Amarth is a melodic death
metal band from Sweden that takes its name from J.R.R. Tolkein’s “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. These Scandinavian songwriters base most of their 19-year catalog on Norse mythology. “Viking metal” is a genre that was made popular in the early 90’s by bands such as Bathory and Enslaved. Amon Amarth, however, does not concur with that classification. No matter what you call it, it is an act that doesn’t roll into Water Street every day. So bring your horns, let down your hair, and get ready to bang your heads. — BY DAVID YOCKEL JR.

Turnip Stampede played at The Dinosaur Friday, August 12. PHOTO BY FRANK DE BLASE
Done by the Dead [ review ] by frank de blase
Last time I looked I was a rock ’n’ roller. Sure, I dig the blues and jazz and real country (the kind with the “o” still intact), but I never stray too far from the rock of ages. Yet somewhere down the line, I’ve started relating more and more to the jam-band aesthetic; the hippies, the jammers, the longhairs. I’ve always appreciated what goes into what they do, but often found that the music lacked that edge, that danger I needed to get off. Bands like Syracuse’s Turnip Stampede have helped to open my eyes and my ears to this multi-layered hybrid of sound. This Salt City quintet’s jams flat-out rock. With a heavy groove throughout, Turnip Stampede totally delivered the goods Friday night at The Dinosaur despite being down two soldiers (laryngitis and double booking will do that to a group). It played with a kind of platform soul with serious nods to Stevie Wonder. Think “Sir Duke” done by the Dead. Guitarist Adam Fisher stomps on the wah-wah a lot, but I never got tired of it.

as he does — as opposed to using it to merely ramp-up solos or stretch out the vowels — the whole sound winds up with this meandering slither that has the subtlety of smoke. If you dig stuff like Big Head Todd and the Monsters you’ll dig these cats. And you won’t even have to abandon your precious rock ’n’ roll. Ever see those old house-party pictures from the 1940’s and 1950’s with the band set up in the middle of the living room? And all the people doing the boogie real slow with the blue light way down low? My friend Amy — who used to jerk suds at rock ’n’ roll hole in the wall, Friends & Players — threw a party Saturday night and booked the Electro Kings to give it some swagger and swing. Whether it’s Muddy or Buddy, Little or Slim, nobody plays the blues with the casual elegance of this band. The thump of the doghouse, the dobro’s pluck ’n’ twang, and the sweet wail of the Mississippi saxophone made it a swell party — and that’s not to mention the hot tub. This town needs more bands at house parties.

Music You used to teach 6th grade. How is the classroom similar to the stage?
I feel like I’m still teaching. It’s definitely different teaching 12-year-olds than it is 25to 50-year-olds. Some of your musical influences are apparent, like Thin Lizzy. What else is in there that isn’t as obvious?
Yeah, you’re right; Thin Lizzy obviously. Bon Scott for me personally. Everyone’s got different influences in the band. Fugazi, Jesus Lizard, stuff like that. I don’t know if you can tell, but Devo — Devo is my favorite band. Jim Morrison even influenced me as a writer when I was younger. Performancewise Jim Morrison, Bon Scott, and Mark Mothersbaugh as front men. Bad Brains. All those things. Is calling Valient Thorr metal or punk an oversimplification?
The band Valient Thorr came to Earth from planet Venus in 2000. Since then it has attempted to achieve world peace through metal music. PHOTO PROVIDED

[ INTERVIEW ] By Frank De Blase
Valient Thorr is a band that comes close. The band comes close to stoner rock with punk abandon before it sidles up to metal veiled in Southern rock. And the band comes close for being from so far away. Valient Thorr is from Venus. No really, its members say they are from another planet. After crashing to earth in 2000, the band took up residence in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, releasing its first album “Stranded On Earth” in 2003. Shared bills and tours with Motorhead, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Eagles of Death Metal, and Gogol Bordello, along with incendiary dates on the 2006 Warped Tour brought Valient Thorr — whose members look like the Vikings of the apocalypse — to the attention of fans that lean slightly toward the classic and heavy sides of American rock ’n’ roll. 16 City august 17-23, 2011
Valient Thorr’s sound is an awesome and somewhat primitive blend. And it would seem that all the genres that go into this band’s otherworldly blast want to claim the band for their own. The band mashes up — but is still true — to the spirit of all that goes into each facet of the music. The band just got back from Europe and is now embarking on its next tour, which will bring it to Rochester for the first time. Front man Valient Himself called us from New Orleans while looking up show times for the new “Planet of the Apes” movie. We discussed headbanging for world peace, Devo, and what goes into the band’s brand of rock ’n’ roll.
on celebrity gossip and bullshit that they don’t think about what’s really going on. How many fucking wars is this country in now? Four? And you have that chick Nancy Grace crying about one kid when there are kids getting kidnapped and killed all over the place every day.
CITY: People have said you’re a band with a message wrapped in rock ’n’ roll. VALIENT HIMSELF: Basically a lot of people
What’s the solution?
say we’re a political band, and I say we are a political band. But if you get bogged down in what I like to think of as wedge politics — the things that push people apart from each other, putting a wedge between the people — you don’t focus on the real things that matter in life. Like what?
Bringing us all together so we don’t destroy the planet, like our first planet was destroyed. I think people get so focused
Have people gotten the message yet?
I’m not sure. I doubt it. And we’ve been saying the same message since we landed in 2001. From Venus?
Yes.
Rock ’n’ roll. Rock ’n’ roll can save it all. Peace through music, man. It’s like “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.” If we could just get everybody to throw down their guns and jam and headbang all at the same time... We were thinking about that for the longest time: headbang for world peace. It sounds kind of hippy-dippy if you think about it too hard, but it’s really a pretty radical idea. Depends on the song, too.
Yeah, it definitely depends on the song.
It’s always hard to say. I think we’re one of those weird crossover bands that started as an MC-5 style rock ’n’ roll band, then went to punk rock and then went to metal. It goes to everything. It’s just whatever we’re writing at the time. We don’t set out to make one kind of music, it just kind of fits. For a while we were playing on the Warped Tour and none of the metal crowd would listen to us because they had no idea what we were. You know, it’s funny; our new album got reviewed on some of these “punk only” or “metal only” websites where they only do metal or they only do punk, and we’re on both of them. They both want to claim you.
That’s great. I like that. But we’re not a typical crossover band like Suicidal Tendencies or DRI. We’re more like Motorhead. What goes into a Valient Thorr show?
Whether they’re standing there staring at us or getting riled up, we go off no matter what. Where do you draw the line?
I don’t know, man. Have you listened to some of the shit that’s on the radio? Just for a laugh somebody will put on a country station. Some of the shit that’s out there just tears me up. I freak out if I forget my headphones and have to go to a coffee shop or somewhere for internet and they’ll be playing something like Europop vomit. It all sounds the same and it all sounds like shit. That’s where I draw the line. Do you have plans to return to Venus anytime soon?
Naw, I don’t think that’s going to happen. I’m not even sure it’s there anymore.

PROG ROCK | ZRUDA
So you thought Gaylord was weird? Just get a load of Atlanta’s ZRUDA. ZRUDA contains two-thirds of Gaylord — drummer Drew Verstraete and guitarist Core Atoms — mixed with members of Lazer/Wulf. The comparisons to Gaylord, or at least using Gaylord as a baseline, are unavoidable. ZRUDA is little more synthetic and significantly more ominous. Its trips and shifts and all-around strangling of time signatures is precise. And the band exhibits restraint; there’s metal (the band’s self-titled debut CD was produced by Mastodon guitarist and ex-Rochesterian Bill Kelliher) in there just screaming to get out, which it does in a free-jazz disguise. This is a band for those who like music as a dare. Just try to hold on.

AMERICANA | Steve Earle
Finally, Steve Earle is touring with a full band. His last few times through the area found him pushing his “Townes” material a la carte. Don’t get me wrong, the man’s songs — and his take on other people’s music — are bonechilling and riveting. But when he leans into classics like “Copperhead Road” fully electric you can practically taste the venom. Musically Earle has always been an outsider who’s not simply trying to bust in for fame, but rather looking to tell all those trapped in just how good it is out here. Too rock for country, too country for country, Earle is one of the last true American music renegades. He has a new album and a new book by the same title (one with perhaps an indirect nod to the Lizard King), “I’ll Never Get Out Of This World Alive.”

INDIE ROCK | Tim Kasher
One of indie rock’s forefathers brings his “solo” act to Rochester on Monday. Tim Kasher, lead singer, guitarist, and the brains and brawn behind Omaha-based bands The Good Life and Cursive released “The Game of Monogamy” in 2010, his first album not credited to either group. The record is definitely special and full of sounds Kasher only hinted at toward before. There are instrumentals, orchestral arrangements, strings, horns, ballads, and the obligatory one-minute sonic blast blended into an amazingly new and important statement for a songwriter that has made a career of such narratives. For this show he will have a backing band with him — a more straightforward rock set-up, plus a trumpet player — and up-andcoming band Aficionado, which has its roots in punk and post-rock, will help fill out the bill. Tim Kasher performs Monday, August 22, 8:30 p.m. at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $12-$14. 454-2966, bugjar.com. — BY DAVID YOCKEL JR. [ Pop/Rock ] Tim Kasher(with band) w/ Aficionado.

Surprises at Stratford 2011 Stratford Shakespeare Festival Through October 30 Stratford, Ontario, Canada Stratfordfestival.ca [ REVIEW ] By Michael Lasser
A trace of transparency: long-time reviewers (I’m one of them) soon learn that it’s impossible to set aside whatever assumptions, attitudes, and memories they’ve accumulated. Even so, you do your best to take each play as it comes. The result won’t be perfect, even though it may be surprising. This year’s trip to the Stratford Shakespeare Festival was certainly that — imperfect as always, but also more surprising than usual. I was impressed by “Camelot,” a musical I heartily dislike; I was mostly disappointed by “Twelfth Night” even though I love the play and was eager to see the well-known actor Brian Dennehy as Sir Toby Belch; and I was most deeply stirred by “The Little Years,” by John Mighton, a play and playwright I’d never heard of. I also saw Shakespeare’s slapdash comedy, “The Merry Wives of Windsor.” Mighton is both a playwright and an adjunct professor of mathematics at the University of Toronto. First he was a poet, then he returned
to school at 28 to earn his doctorate in math despite early struggles with the subject matter, and only then did he start writing plays. “The Little Years” reflects his own experience and his deeply held beliefs that math is endlessly fascinating, that anyone can study it successfully, and that the assumption that women cannot master it is an outrage. The play, which begins in the 1950’s and covers a half-century, is small but ambitious. Written in 1995, it interweaves large ideas about the nature of time with the increasingly blighted life of Kate, an insightful teenager who is rebuffed at every turn, mainly by her small-minded mother (the solid Chick Reid) and a concerned but unimaginative school principal (Victor Ertmanis). Mighton’s attempt is generally but not always successful as we see Kate in her teens, 20s, 40s, and 60s. Young Kate, played passionately by Bethany Jillard, becomes a thwarted, embittered woman, whose capacity for love and learning wither. She spends much of her life in silence before another young woman, also played by Jillard, discovers the notebooks she had written a half-century before. Mighton’s writing is richest when young Kate expresses her fascination with the nature of time; it gives the play its theme. Newtonian time is fixed and immutable, but new theories see it differently. Somebody who travels
around the world, for instance, returns home younger than those who remained behind. In such a universe, the smallest things can be consequential. That idea excites Kate (and Mighton), but the principal would rather see her study to be a secretary. Much of the rest of the play — including conversations between Kate and her sister-in-law Grace (Yanna McIntosh), and between Grace and Roger, an artist she has an affair with (Evan Buliung) — resembles everyday chit-chat. Even so, the scenes in which Irene Poole appears as the adult Kate are gripping. She has a gift for restraint and understatement as she builds a character from silence as much as speech, and also from the smallest moments in what looks to be a wasted life. Only a long and largely extraneous scene between Grace and her artist-lover drags. Every time I’ve seen Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe’s “Camelot” on the stage or the screen, I’ve come away irritated by its bloated book, its second-rate production numbers (except for the clever “The Lusty Month of May”), and its bathetic sentimentality when it needs genuine emotion. The flaws are still there, but director Gary Griffin has had the good sense to cut the running time by at least 20 minutes, and has mounted (with set designer Debra Hanson, costume designer Mara Blumenfeld, and lighting
designer Alan Brodie) a sumptuous production. Griffin and the cast have actually given this sloth of a show some energy. Lerner’s adaptation of the story of King Arthur and the Round Table from T.H. White’s classic novel, “The Once and Future King,” is turgid. His lyrics fare better, especially in two charming duets for Arthur and Guenevere, “I Wonder What the King Is Doing Tonight” and “What Do the Simple Folk Do?” Most people know the character of Arthur through Richard Harris’ eccentric, selfimportant portrayal in the movie version of the show. But at Stratford, Geraint Wyn Davies invests Arthur with humanity and wit. He never takes himself too seriously as he struggles to do the right thing. Wyn Davies’ large yet stirring performance makes Arthur’s fall more moving than anything I’ve ever encountered in this lumbering show. Lancelot is difficult to play because he’s such a prig; perfection isn’t very interesting. But Jonathan Winsby invests the famous love ballad, “If Ever I Should Leave You,” with human feeling. Despite the richness of his voice, he sings it, not as an aria to show off his tonsils, but as dialogue that speaks in soaring melody to the woman he loves. Brent Carver brings welcome humor to his two roles, Merlin and the slightly addled King Pellinore. Kaylee Harwood as Guenevere has charm but not the presence to command the stage in her solo numbers. Queen Elizabeth I gets some of the credit for “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” so the story goes. She let Master Shakespeare know that she’d like to see Sir John Falstaff again, even though Mistress Quickly had announced his death in “Henry V.” The result was “Merry Wives,” in which Falstaff, as ebullient a scalawag as ever, sets out to seduce two married women but ends up the butt of their jokes on three separate occasions. In the Henry plays, Falstaff is a scoundrel who also happens to be the greatest comic character in English theater. By the time of “Merry Wives,” he has become merely a fool who never learns from his mistakes or failures. He is more Gulliver than the Falstaff we remember. And that takes us back to Wyn Davies again. His ability to humanize the characters he plays turns Falstaff from the bumptious villain who deserves what he gets to someone we care about even in his reduced state. With his clothes and hair askew, his cheeks red and his voice raspy from too much sack, and his misplaced confidence in his wit undiminished, he is a gaudy and still entertaining shadow of his former self. In addition to Falstaff and his folly, what matters in the play is the vengeance taken by Mistress Page and Mistress Ford, but continues on page 22 rochestercitynewspaper.com City 21
continues from page 21
Laura Condlin and Lucy Peacock reduce their characters to little more than recitations of speeches. The routine romantic plot between young Anne Page (Andrea Runge) and Fenton (Trent Pardy) is there only for convention’s sake. Without Wyn Davies and Tom Rooney’s very funny portrayal of the oafishly jealous Master Ford, “Merry Wives” would have made for a very long afternoon. Director Des McAnuff has wreaked havoc on “Twelfth Night,” one of the last and greatest of the comedies. Shakespeare wrote it shortly before such tragedies as “Othello,” “King Lear,” and “Macbeth.” The play seamlessly integrates sparkling wit and boisterous knockabout with deepening melancholy. As a result, the scene of reconciliation and restoration at the end is funny and moving but also strangely unsettled. In brief, Viola washes ashore in the strange land of Illyria after a shipwreck. Donning men’s clothes, she serves the lovesick Duke Orsino, who pines for Olivia. Olivia won’t give the Duke a tumble because she plans to mourn her dead brother for seven years. Olivia’s kinsman, the rakehell Sir Toby Belch, cons the foolish Andrew Aguecheek to pay for their drunken revels, and undertakes the gulling of the Puritanical (and egotistical) Malvolio. Commenting wittily on the action and on the follies of all human beings is Feste, the fool (and the wisest man in Illyria). His delight in language and his songs, especially the mournful “Come Away, Death” and the alternately flippant and pensive “When That I Was and a Little Tiny Boy,” play an essential role in establishing the play’s mixed tone and its insight into life’s follies. But McAnuff has decided that adding anachronisms throughout the play will somehow improve it, so somebody delivers a pizza in the middle of one scene, and blacksuited, umbrella-ed solicitors and clerks stride around and through a serious conversation to make it almost impossible to listen. Is there a shabbier way to get an easy laugh? The show’s songs become a “history” of popular music styles for the last half-century. Although the musical numbers are often bright and loud, and add a rowdy element to a play that’s already rowdy, they undermine its melancholy. McAnuff strips away most of its humanity but at least he was wise enough not to fool with the scenes in which Malvolio appears cross-gartered before Olivia and the final reconciliation scene. They are the two most effective moments in the play. Mike Shara played Orsino as if he is fully engaged in the world; as a result, his speeches about his lovesickness were meaningless. Stephen Ouimette lived up to his reputation as a brilliant comedian as Sir Andrew, and Ben Carlson was a sly, sympathetic Feste. But Dennehy was especially disappointing as Sir Toby. His irresistible vulgarity, so essential to the play’s comic side, never materialized.

ART EXHIBIT | WHIMSICAL ART TRAIL
The Strong Museum of Play offers items and displays for adults, too, whether it’s the nostalgia factor involved in the cases of toys from yester-decade, or the information essays that come along with so many of the displays. My personal favorite is the ever-changing Whimsical Art Trail, which is geared toward kids in the imaginative artworks and search-for-the-stations aspects, but perhaps appreciated more fully by adults who have to hunt for their playful impulse, buried in stacks of practical tasks. And the super inspirational element is that the items in the trail are created by a revolving array of adult artists. The newest edition of the Whimsical Art Trail opens Saturday, August 20, with a chance to meet the artists 1-4 p.m. Featured this time around are the imaginative, large-scale balloon sculptures of “airigami” artist Larry Moss, which includes balloon-sculptured interpretations of such classic paintings as the “Mona Lisa,” “Whistler’s Mother,” and “American Gothic.” Also featured are Robert Rogalski’s otherworldly puppets and fantastical sculptures influenced by “The Hobbit,” Jim Henson, and Dr. Seuss; Jennifer Carson, who will display plush fantasy creatures including owls, polliwogs, and elves; and Kelly Cheatle’s micro crochet figures (like Yoda standing on a penny!). Cheatle and Moss also collaborated on the “Once Upon a Time” (pictured) series of balloon sculpture photographs inspired by fairy tales, which are also on display. The art will remain on display through November 20, and is included in general admission fees: $12 for adults, $11 for seniors, $10 for children ages 2-15, and free to children under 2 and members. Museum of Play hours are Monday-Thursday 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Friday-Saturday 10 a.m.-8 p.m., and Sunday noon-5 p.m. For more information, call 263-2700, or visit museumofplay.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

ART EVENT | SCULPTURE DEMO
It’s not often that art enthusiasts get to preview an exhibition set to take place almost a year in the future, but that’s what Ock Hee’s Gallery (2 Lehigh St., Honeoye Falls) is offering this weekend. Sculptors Dario Tazzioli and Olivia Kim (sculptures pictured) will present “Two Worlds: Additive and Subtractive Methods in Sculpture” at the gallery Saturday, August 20, 11 a.m.-1 p.m., with an introductory reception and demonstrations. At age 15, Tazzioli began his apprenticeship in stone with an old master carver in Frassinoro, a village in the Appennine mountains of northern Italy. Now he creates public monuments, private commissions, and personal sculptures from his home in Frassinoro. Tazzioli will demonstrate traditional stone carving at the reception. Kim has explored various forms of art since childhood, and her desire to express the universal qualities of mankind has led her to research the human body in motion. She has recently moved back to her hometown of Rochester after spending nine years in Europe honing her skills in bronze Realist sculpture. Kim will demonstrate portrait modeling to viewers on Saturday.

Classical to follow during the performance. That’s something I’ve been really drawn to and I’ve been doing professionally for a number of years now.” Block credits Klorman and Barston for bringing the best parts of multiple styles to the festival. For Block’s program, he will be “reinterpreting” some classical music and bringing in some original music as well. Klorman grew up in Rochester and

Expanding the musical conversation Canandaigua LakeMusic Festival Wednesday, August 17-Sunday, August 28 690-1220, LakeMusicFestival.org [ PREVIEW ] BY PALOMA CAPANNA
“Society is changing — the very ritual of the classical audience is changing.” So says Edward Klorman, co-artistic director of the Canandaigua LakeMusic Festival. “In Stravinsky’s day, he wrote about every cough and chair squeak he heard during a performance of Wagner. Now, famous musicians like the Ying Quartet play in prisons and barns.” With that edict in mind, Klorman and Co-Artistic Director Amy Sue Barston set out seven years ago to design a classicalmusic festival that would bring worldclass musicians to Canandaigua, home of Klorman’s parents. The result is the Canandaigua LakeMusic Festival. Conducted annually in August, the Canandaigua LakeMusic Festival this year includes cellist Mike Block, who Yo-Yo Ma has called “the ideal musician of the 21st century”; award-winning clarinetist Moran Katz; American composer and 24 City august 17-23, 2011
pianist Lowell Liebermann; and Broadway actor Tommy Labanaris as a special guest narrator. It’s quite a programming feat for the venue of Canandaigua, located about 30 miles southeast of Rochester on the northern shore of Canandaigua Lake. Part of how Klorman and Barston achieved
their goal is the group of “classical blue jeans” concerts performed during the festival. Held at the Wegmans grocery store in Canandaigua, these concerts start in the spacious Wegmans Market Café, as musicians and audience mingle and mix in the spirit of community over barbeque and desserts. The audience then flows into the recital space for the concert, already engaged in the festive atmosphere. Organizers say that the festival audience has doubled every two years, so it would seem that Klorman and Barston have figured out a recipe for classical success at a time the industry is facing its challenges. Klorman expects that this year’s classical blue-jeans concerts will sell out. Among the featured repertoire during the festival will be Maurice Ravel’s lush Quartet in F Major, which includes exotic Oriental motifs and fiery Flamenco rhythms; the Johannes Brahms Quintet
in b minor for Clarinet and Strings, Op. 115; and Ludwig von Beethoven’s Sonata in a minor, Op. 47 (“the Kreutzer Sonata”) alongside Leos Janacek’s String Quartet No. 1 (also known as “the Kreutzer Sonata”). And then, not to be missed, there will be Lowell Liebermann, performing his own Quintet for Piano and String Quartet, Op. 34. Klorman, 29, has been studying music and
the music business for more than 10 years, including music conservatory courses from Eastman to Juilliard on career management, program development, and finding creative funding sources. “The 1910 Sears catalogue included house floor plans with the placement for your piano,” says Klorman. “Now, classical music is competing with movies, marketed by celebrities.” Festival guest artist Mike Block also sees a trend emerging — one that impacts the very heart of classical music itself. “One of the things that defines classical music to me is that it’s all written out by the classical composer; it’s all planned,” says Block. “But in pretty much every other style of music, there is more freedom for the performer to contribute, even new notes, and let the score be more of a loose guide from which
attended schools in Brighton. He grew up, like anyone else in his generation, playing video games and watching TV. When he was 15, Klorman was in the Boy Scouts and had to invite a guest speaker. He invited the Ying Quartet, which accepted Klorman’s invitation to come and play for the troop. “Within two minutes, I was rapt,” says Klorman, “My mind drifted into something spectacular.” Klorman went on to earn his bachelor’s degree (2004) and his graduate diploma (2008) in viola performance from the Juilliard School. He earned his doctorate (2011) from the City University of New York. Klorman has, since 2008, been a professor at Juilliard, recently becoming the associate chair and director of core curriculum for music theory. Block, too, has the pedigree of a classical musician, earning his degrees from Juilliard and the Cleveland Institute of Music. Block has been a member of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble since 2006, when he became its youngest member. His first album was all original music, released in 2005, titled “The Agony of Modern Music.” What Klorman figured out is “being a violinist is not enough.” He says, “You need to know how to reach your audience.” But what Block has figured out is a bit of a different spin. “What’s really propelled this [shift in classical music] is that there are so many amazing musicians in so many genres that it’s getting harder for any one genre to be exclusive or dominant.” Klorman points out that classical music has not been a static experience, even for audience members, through the centuries. He relates a passage from a letter that Mozart wrote to his father on July 3, 1778, that describes the audience applauding more than once during the performance of the Paris Symphony to show their appreciation of his composition. Block describes that “For the classical music lover, what’s going to be really
exciting about this concert is to see instruments and hear music that are familiar being taken to a place that’s new and fresh. It will be like hearing your brother tell you a new joke; it’s going to be familiar, but it will be new and exciting.” In addition to the blue-jeans concerts, Klorman wants to “give people the tools” to enjoy classical music, whether or not they have a music degree. The festival annually includes a master class that is free and open to the public, where guest artists work with music students in a group lesson, sharing their wisdom with the audience. The festival also annually includes a family concert, so that parents have an opportunity to introduce children to classical music in a way that Klorman describes as “demystifying” and “destuffying.” “A lot of the people who are still playing classical music are recognizing the value of this different interacting between musicians and with the audience,” says Block. “Ed [Klorman] and Amy [Barston] are very excited about trying to bring in the best parts of multiple styles. They’re expanding the musical conversation.”

SPORTS | POAGS HOLE HILL CLIMB
Extreme sports revolve around three main things: competition, loud noises, and danger. Motorcycle hill climbing involves the best of all three. There are roaring engines, screaming fans, and the possibility of serious injuries. Motorcycle hill climbing is a sport that attempts to defy physics. Riders race straight up a steep hill. You either get to the top unscathed or you don’t, that’s the excitement. If no one makes it up the hill, the one who climbed the highest wins. Riders must have bravery as well as skill for this kind of competition. See how far folks go when the Poags Hole Hill Climb will take place Sunday, August 21, on 10401 Poags Hole Road in Dansville. The gates open at 9 a.m. and the racing starts at 12:30 p.m. Admission is $15 for adults, free for children 10 and under, and parking is $5.

FESTIVAL | WEDGESTOCK
Rochester just wouldn’t be the same without the South Wedge neighborhood. Its cool clothing stores, cafes, and sidewalk art give the city a slice of hip urban chicness. The area has its own local grocery store, its own t-shirts and even its own newspaper, The Wedge. This week you can celebrate the unique, artsy neighborhood with Wedgestock on Saturday, August 20. Wedgestock celebrates local businesses, artists, and musicians by bringing people together for a free party on South Avenue. The festival begins at 10 a.m. with a pet parade at Marie Daley Park. The festival will also offer music from local bands that play everything from Irish music to jazz to hip-hop. A craft market will be open 11 a.m.-7 p.m., where local vendors will sell jewelry, crafts, and artwork. There will also be hula-hooping and bounce houses for kids, street performers, and of course, no Rochester festival would be complete without lots of food and craft beer. Wedgestock closes at 9 p.m. Visit wedgestock.org for information. — BY ALEXANDRA CARMICHAEL 2600 Elmwood Ave. 4614475, thebagelbincafe.com, susankramarsky.com. 10 a.m.noon. Free. Diesel Day.

SPECIAL EVENT | SUMMER HAWK FEST
You might occasionally glimpse a hawk soaring in the country sky. Up close these raptors are both beautiful and a little scary. This August nature fans have a fleeting opportunity to see young red-tailed hawks disperse from their birth places as they travel by the thousands in search of warmer areas. This spring researchers counted more than 100,000 hawks in Braddock Bay. These birds will begin migrating at the end of the summer, making it the perfect time for hawk watching. Braddock Bay’s Summer Hawk Festival will celebrate this opportunity and educate people about the birds of prey. The Summer Hawk Festival will take place Saturday, August 20-Sunday, August 21 at Braddock Bay Park. The festival offers programs and activities about hawks and nature in the Braddock Bay area. Special events include a wildlife photography presentation, live eagles, and a presentation about the red-tailed hawk dispersal. Festival-goers can take a songbird tour, have a hawkwatch picnic, and play nature walk bingo. Weekend admission is $3 for adults and free for kids. The festival is located at 199 East Manitou Road in Greece. For more information and a full schedule of events visit bbrr.org. — BY ALEXANDRA CARMICHAEL Lake Rd., Auburn.

Slackers meet losers, explosions follow [ REVIEW ] by George Grella
flicks continue to appear and, apparently, reflect something of the current situation. Whatever its particular worth or “30 Minutes or Less” worthlessness, the latest one, “30 Minutes or (R), directed by Ruben Fleischer Less,” approaches a kind of zenith of the form, Now playing combining goofy, raunchy comedy with some quite nasty violence and employing enough It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact moment automobile chases and stunts to qualify for any that the slacker flick became a contemporary of the “Terminator” films. The movie features subgenre, though it may have begun as early as not one but two sets of hapless losers, the 1982, with “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.” protagonist Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) and his pal Kevin Smith brought the form to a high point Chet (Aziz Ansari) and an older pair of jerks, with the low-budget “Clerks” and the much Dwayne (Danny McBride) and Travis (Nick more expensive and much less impressive Swardson). Through the sort of complicated “Mallrats.” Perhaps as a symptom of the Great Recession and the very real plight of many young scheme that usually appears in big caper flicks, the two pairs plot and carry out a bank robbery. people trying to enter the job market, slacker Nick drives for a Grand Rapids emporium called Vito’s Pizza, which promises delivery in the 30 minutes or less of the title, while Chet works at something like a real job as a substitute teacher; Dwayne and Travis apparently do nothing at all, aside from odd jobs for Dwayne’s Aziz Ansari and Jesse Eisenberg in “30 Minutes or Less.” PHOTO COURTESY COLUMBIA PICTURES

father (Fred Ward), an irascible martinet who treats his son and his chum with richly deserved contempt. Dwayne and Travis concoct a scheme to raise money to hire a hit man to eliminate Dwayne’s father and inherit the millions he won playing the lottery. They ambush Nick and strap a bomb on him that will detonate at a set time unless he comes up with the $100,000 needed to pay the assassin (inflation even affects the professional killer game). Once establishing that situation, the script creates a predictable series of difficulties for the would-be robbers — Nick inveigles Chet to help him out, and they settle on a bank as the best source for the money. While Nick and Chet work out a plan involving toy guns, ski masks, and a stolen car, Dwayne and Travis follow them to make sure they get the loot; meanwhile the hit man shows up, looking to fulfill his assignment and collect his payment. His appearance adds more confusion to the plot, which then revolves around mistaken identity, a shooting, and a couple of standoffs over the bag of money. Although staged as comedy, the robbery and the ensuing action turn into a standard movie automobile chase, with Nick, whose driving experience for Vito’s Pizza pays off, eluding the whole Grand Rapids police force, a conspicuously incompetent bunch. Nick and Chet escape while the cops crash their cars
Survival of the fittest [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO
“Terri” (R), directed by Azazel Jacobs Now playing
“Toast” (NR), directed by S.J. Clarkson Screens Monday at the Little
into various obstacles, including fire hydrants, telephone poles, buses, and other police cars. Again, although the actions of the two sets of bumblers generate a great many laughs, “30 Minutes or Less” actually depends for the solution to its comic puzzles on a considerable amount of violence, which seems all the more shocking in its context. By the time the picture ends, three characters have been shot, one incinerated with a flamethrower, and another disintegrated in a powerful explosion, all of which seems just a bit excessive for a comedy, a caper, and a slacker flick. In “30 Minutes or Less” Jesse Eisenberg obviously plays a very different character from the detached, emotionless computer geek of “The Social Network,” but he retains some of the same qualities of goofy innocence and deadpan self-absorption. He and Aziz Ansari play off each other deftly, displaying contrasting personalities but speaking the same juvenile language, full of taunts, putdowns, and increasingly odious revelations about the sex lives of Nick’s mother and Chet’s sister. Despite its laughs and its allegedly comic foundation, the picture overflows with a genuine nastiness beyond the physical violence. The script’s constant crude sexual references and actions, the streams of obscenities, the offhand use of some remarkably vulgar statements in all sorts of contexts result in a very strange interpretation of comedy and of the plight of the pitiful slacker.
The next time you’re watching a film, consider for a moment the persuasive delicacy required of casting directors whose job it is to woo actors for the parts that are, shall we say, less than glamourous. Imagine picking up the phone and saying to the person who answers, “Oh, hello! We’re looking for someone who is old and haggard/riddled with lesions/morbidly obese; you’d be perfect!” Beyond that, can you even fathom having such a clear-eyed lack of vanity to agree that, yes, you actually would be perfect, and, hey, thanks for thinking of me? I found myself reflecting upon this a lot during the wistful coming-of-age indie “Terri,” which showcases an honest, egoless turn by Jacob Wysocki as the eponymous title character, a young man simply finding his way. With his slumped shoulders and few sullen words, Terri would obviously like

to be the kind of kid who gets through high school unnoticed; instead, his hulking proportions have made him a target for the cruelty of heartless idiots who honk his man-boobs with an oldtimey “ahOOOgah!” (Being perpetually clad in comfy pajamas does nothing to help his cause either.) Terri’s home life is just as solitary, his only companions a beloved collection of paperbacks and ailing Uncle James (Creed Bratton, NBC’s “The Office”). One day Terri catches the eye of Assistant Principal Fitzgerald (wacky, wonderful John C. Reilly), who decides to take the quiet loner under his wing via weekly rap sessions. Terri is skeptical at first, but, as Fitzgerald puts it, “What’s weird about two guys sitting down, sharing snacks and shooting the shit?” Turns out the only other students meeting with Fitzgerald are social outcasts as well — or “monsters,” as Terri bluntly puts it — and though the initially offended young man does recognize the value of their communication, “I guess I just wish I didn’t need help, you know?” Fitzgerald, of course, will prove to be in need of a little assistance himself, but the gossamer plot of “Terri” is set into motion when our hero rises to the defense of pretty classmate Heather (Olivia Crocicchia), recently crowned the school’s newest pariah after a moment of insecurity. Her Esmeralda-like reaction to his chivalry culminates in an evening where Terri, Heather, and a fellow outsider, the aggressive Chad (Bridger Zadina), find themselves in unfamiliar territory, one where all the usual teen vulnerabilities are heightened by the introduction of whiskey and prescription drugs. Azazel Jacobs’ last film, “Momma’s Man,” observed as a married father postponed responsibility by camping out in his parents’ amazing Tribeca loft. “Terri” also watches a boy growing up at his own pace, and Jacobs, working from a
wise, uncluttered script by Patrick Dewitt, essentially just points the camera at his gifted players. (Fans of earlier David Gordon Green will find much to appreciate here, especially the evocative cinematography of Tobias Datum.) Wysocki is compelling in his watchful grace, a proverbial gentle giant whose self-aware subtlety elicits compassion rather than pity. Reilly is unsurprisingly excellent in the John C. Reilly role, one that calls for equal measures of goofball and sage, though his brand of comfort refuses to pander. “Life’s a mess,” Fitzgerald tells Terri, “and we all just try to do the best we can.” The Little Theatre’s inspired “Arthouse
Summer” venture continues with a program called “The Best of the Fests,” which features selections chosen by a few of our local film festivals. From ImageOut comes “Toast,” an imperfect but charming BBC adaptation of the acclaimed memoir by English cookery icon Nigel Slater. (Incidentally, I recently read Slater’s “Tender”; it’s a must for anyone who grows or even eats vegetables.) “Toast” recounts Slater’s 1960’s middle-class upbringing, one defined by tinned foods reheated by a nonetheless adoring mother who simply couldn’t cook. When he wasn’t crushing on the handsome gardener, young Nigel (the nicely nuanced Oscar Kennedy) fantasized about better grub, but his wish would come at a tragic price once his widowed father (Ken Stott) took up with the feisty housekeeper (Helena BonhamCarter, saucy as usual). “Toast” goes on to chronicle the game of one-upmanship in which Nigel — played as a teen by Freddie Highmore — and his calculating stepmother vied for the elder Mr. Slater’s affection with a parade of vindictively prepared treats. Everything’s quite blackand-white here, with Bonham-Carter’s Mrs. Potter in particular suffering from moustache-twirling one-dimensionalism. But the message is unassailable: find your passion, find yourself.

A Perfect Porch for Park Avenue 251 Westminster Road The Park Avenue neighborhood is synonymous with spacious homes and superior craftsmanship. The eye catching home at 251 Westminster Road is no exception. Its bright blue facades and wide front porch provide great curb appeal. The porch is large enough for entertaining and is ideal for warm summer nights. One enters into a spacious foyer with a beautiful parquet floor and fantastic inlaid design at the edges that speaks of the history of craftsmanship in the Park Avenue area. Entering into the living room it becomes clear the amount of time and energy that has been invested into updating the home. The open floor plan makes the first level ideal for parties of any size at any time of year. The living room features a gas log fireplace with built-in bookcases. Leaded windows add a touch of sophistication to an otherwise modern space. The space looks onto the front porch and opens to a bright and airy dining room. The dining room is open to the updated kitchen, which includes a wine bar, stainless steel appliances, and dark granite counter tops. Large sliding glass doors off the dining room provide access to a manageable sized yard complete with a multilevel wooden patio and a detached two car garage. The current owner’s efforts to create a space ideal for entertaining extend to the lower level, where a partially finished basement has been transformed into a den and separate laundry facility.
The private living space on the second floor consists of three bedrooms, each with its own distinct character, and a large shared bath. The bathroom has a large cast iron soaking tub, separate shower and intricate tile work. The largest of the three bedrooms features a large fireplace with built-ins on either side. The second room overlooks the backyard and features a converted sleeping porch with large windows on three sides that will create a bright space even through the winter months. The smallest of the three bedrooms is still roomy with a large closet and updated ceiling fixtures. The third floor is a luxurious suite, with two bedrooms and a separate bath. The bath features radiant heated floors, updated fixtures, and beautifully crafted tile work. The larger of the two bedrooms has a fireplace with a large mantle and built in bookshelf. The second space takes advantage of the sloping ceilings through a large skylight that artfully punctures the roof to flood the room with natural light. Constructed in 1900, this 3,000 square foot home is listed at $294,900.
