Funke’s embrace of women’s issues
In a TV ad, State Senate candidate Rich Funke insinuates that his support of equal pay for women is an extraordinary act for a politician. This issue was decided generations ago. What kind of daring can we expect next from him — voting rights for women? What about the right to choose an abortion? What about a minimum wage a single woman can live on? What about health care for any woman who needs it? What about a job for every woman who wants to work? What about a ban on fracking so women will have safe water to drink? SALLY MCCOY
Climate deniers learned from Big Tobacco
Readers who saw the letter by Tom Harris (“No Evidence of Humans Causing Climate Change,”) should be aware that the organization the writer heads is among many front groups that receive donations in the millions of dollars for spreading untruths about climate change, primarily funded by the Koch brothers and ExxonMobil. Some of them — Cato Institute, Heritage Foundation, Americans for Prosperity, Heartland Institute, American Legislative Exchange Council, Competitive Enterprise Institute, and American Enterprise Institute are well-known extreme right-wing groups. Many others have “greenwashed” their names, like this one — International Climate Science Coalition. 2 CITY
OCTOBER 22-28, 2014
Harris spoke in 2008 at a conference hosted by the Heartland Institute: “We need regular high-impact media coverage of the findings of leading scientists,” he said. “We can take the same piece and submit it to newspapers all over North America and Europe.” Of course “leading scientists,” according to Harris, are climate deniers. According to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., these groups have taken a page out of the tobacco industry’s playbook, whose watchwords were “create doubt.” The anticlimate change movement contains some of the same PR advisers who worked for Big Tobacco to sow doubt about smoking risks. Today’s “doubts” are about the overwhelming consensus of scientists who conclude climate change is moving even faster than they originally thought it would. The only way to keep the planet from reaching a point of no return is to stop taking oil, gas, and coal out of the ground and replacing it with renewable energy technologies. It won’t be easy, but will actually force us to repair our decaying infrastructure and create the many jobs that our deregulated economy in its current form is not set up to provide. These anti-science organizations are populated not by scientists, but by corporate lobbyists and special interest representatives who stand to gain financially by wrecking the planet’s ability to sustain life.

The ballot proposals: Yes to 1 and 2 In addition to important elected positions, the November 4 ballot contains three proposals. One of them, Proposal 2 – on electronic transmission of legislation – is a mundane, housekeeping issue. The other two, however, have much broader implications. Proposal 1 deals with the way the state’s legislative and congressional districts are drawn. Proposal 3 would permit the state to sell bonds for $2 billion and divide the proceeds among school districts for several types of school improvements. We’re giving our endorsements for Proposals 1 and 2 this week, and we’ll discuss Proposal 3 next week.
Prop. 1: a tepid ‘yes’
New York State is divided into 63 State Senate districts, 150 smaller Assembly districts, and 27 US Congressional districts, and after every federal census, the lines are redrawn to take population changes into consideration. Who does the drawing is important, because the district boundaries can be manipulated to benefit candidates and political parties. Right now, a six-member legislative commission – four of them state legislators – draws the lines. The temporary president of the Senate and the speaker of the Assembly (usually the majority-party leaders) each name two of the six, and the Senate and Assembly minority leaders each name one. And predictably, for years the legislators have drawn the lines to benefit themselves: Republicans in the Senate, because until recently they’ve been in the majority in the Senate, and Democrats in the Assembly, where they hold a large majority. Good-government groups and other citizen activists have argued for years that an independent group should draw the district lines, but legislators have liked things the way they are. And change isn’t easy. The redistricting process is specified in the state constitution, which can be amended only by voters in a referendum following two separate, positive votes by the legislature. Voters finally get a chance to do that this year with Proposal 1. If it passes, a new, 10-member commission will draw the lines, and none of the 10 can be state legislators. There’ll still be plenty of ties to legislators, though. The four legislative leaders – the Senate’s temporary president and minority leader and the Assembly speaker and minority leader – will appoint eight of the 10. Those eight will appoint the additional two. None of the 10 can be – or can have been in the previous three years – members of the
The redistricting proposal isn’t perfect. But if voters fail to pass it, New Yorkers will be stuck with a worse system. state legislature or their spouses. They can’t be members of Congress or their spouses. They can’t be statewide elected officials or their spouses. They can’t be state officers, state employees, or legislative employees. They can’t be lobbyists registered in the state or a political party chair. And the two members appointed by the other eight can’t have been enrolled in either of the two major political parties in New York State in the past five years. Prop. 1 has divided good government groups and others who have been pushing for state government reform. The League of Women Voters and Citizens Union are strongly in favor of it, for instance, and Common Cause, the New York Public Interest Research Group, and the NAACP’s New York chapter are adamantly opposed. We’re giving it a weak endorsement. Prop. 1 is far less than ideal. It’s good that the people who draw district lines won’t be legislators, who have a vested interest in controlling the boundaries of districts in which they’ll seek re-election. But commission members will be only one step removed, certainly subject to influence by those who appoint them. However, the new structure of that group will guarantee that both Republicans and Democrats will have equal say in drawing the district lines for the Senate,
www.issuu.com/roccitynews
Assembly, and Congress, regardless of which party is in control in each. Right now, because the majority leaders of the Senate and the Assembly make two appointments and the minority leaders make only one, minority members are always outnumbered. Under Prop. 1 the commission is supposed to abide by several “principles” when it draws new district lines. Redistricting can’t result in abridgment of minority voting rights, for instance, and “to the extent practicable,” the new districts “must contain as nearly as may be an equal number of inhabitants.” Those and most other principles apply to the current redistricting process. One new restriction could be important: districts can’t be designed to discourage competition or protect an incumbent or political party. Proving that that was the intent would be difficult, though. Critics like Common Cause also worry that because strength on the task force will be evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats, deadlocks are likely. If that happens, and the commission can’t agree on new lines, the legislature can amend the second plan “as it deems necessary.” It would be expected to abide by the principles established under Prop. 1. Weak as the new procedure would be, guaranteeing a balance of people in both major parties is better than what we have now. And that balance would be even more important if a one party controlled both the Senate and the Assembly. Common Cause argues that Prop. 1 “will lock a flawed redistricting plan into the state constitution.” But if Prop. 1 fails, we’ll be stuck with an even worse plan. And our hunch is that there’d be no more chance of changing the old procedure than there is of revising this new one.

Proposal 2
The state constitution requires that all bills be printed on paper and given to legislators three days before they vote on them. Prop. 2 would permit the state to provide those bills electronically, saving substantial money and paper. For both environmental and financial reasons – not to mention plain common sense – Prop. 2 makes sense, and should be approved. Next week: our take on Proposal 3, the “Smart Schools Bond Act.” rochestercitynewspaper.com

The Locust Club, the union that represents Rochester police officers, has approved a new contract with the city. According to a press release, officers will get a 3 percent raise, retroactive over the past year. They will also get a 2 percent raise in the second year and a 3 percent raise in the third year of the contract. And the Locust Club agreed to procedural changes to help the pending reorganization of the police department, the press release says.

The Village of Pittsford will likely strike down a ban on feeding the waterfowl along Schoen Place. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK
WILDLIFE | BY JEREMY MOULE
Pittsford cries fowl The Village of Pittsford has won a few big fights in its time — usually conflicts stemming from its strict building codes. But it has been bested by the ducks and geese that hang out along Schoen Place. The waterfowl are a fixture of the popular Erie Canal business district, and the public flocks to feed the flocks. But the steady source of food encourages ducks and geese to concentrate in the area and, to be blunt, the birds leave a lot of poop. Visitors often feed bread to the fowl, which only makes the mess worse. The village is in charge of cleaning up the area, and officials have tried for
years to discourage the public from feeding the birds. But now, village officials are changing tack. They’ve started a process to strike a ban on feeding wildlife along Schoen Place, and have scheduled a public hearing on the matter for 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 18, at Village Hall, 21 North Main Street. “The majority of the board felt it was unenforceable,” Mayor Bob Corby says of the prohibition. Officials plan to provide the public with information about which foods are appropriate for the birds, Corby says.
Mike Wasilco, regional wildlife manager for the Department of Environmental Conservation, says that what people feed the waterfowl can be a problem. Ducks and geese can catch a fatal lung infection from moldy food, he says. And much of what people feed the birds is basically junk food devoid of the nutrients they’d get from their natural diets, he says. Bread is the worst, he says, followed by corn and mixed bird seed. “A pelleted feed providing balanced nutrition is best,” Wasilco wrote in an e-mail.
“I expect to hear back from you today with the reasons why Mr. Castro was let go, otherwise I will have no choice but to further look into the actions of the board, and publicly call for your resignations.” [ EXCERPT FROM MAYOR LOVELY WARREN’S LETTER TO GEORGE MOSES, CHAIR OF THE ROCHESTER HOUSING AUTHORITY’S BOARD ]
POLITICS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Housing Authority shakeup gets ugly George Moses, chair of the Rochester Housing Authority board, clearly had one idea of how Tuesday’s press conference would go. He would read a prepared statement, and then take limited questions on why the RHA board voted to dismiss Alex Castro as the Housing Authority’s executive director — limited because he could not discuss personnel or employment matters, he said. The media had other ideas, however, and something else, which Moses was apparently not aware existed: a letter from Mayor Lovely Warren, addressed to Moses, demanding an explanation for Castro’s discharge. And that’s when the conference took a turn for the ugly. Castro’s abrupt dismissal followed by the immediate, interim appointment of City Council member Adam McFadden to lead the agency has the RHA board under attack from all sides. The Housing Authority’s former chair, Carol Schwartz, says that McFadden cannot keep both jobs — that’s it’s a conflict of interest barred by the Housing Authority’s annual contract with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. Attorneys at the press conference said that the conflict provision in the contract
does not apply to the Housing Authority’s executive director. HUD officials are reviewing the matter. And Council member Jackie Ortiz has asked for an investigation into Castro’s dismissal, saying that it appears to be inappropriate and misguided. And then the mayor launched her missile in a letter that every member of the media at the press conference had, but Moses said he had not seen. Warren wrote that she had been promised an explanation for Castro’s removal, but none had been provided. “I expect to hear back from you today with the reasons why Mr. Castro was let go, otherwise I will have no choice but to further look into the actions of the board, and publicly call for your resignations,” Warren’s letter says. Castro’s dismissal is related to a pattern of questionable business practices, Moses said. He would not go into detail, but the attorneys present said that an audit is taking place. Moses said that the audit is looking at the Housing Authority’s procurement and bidding processes to start. “We have concerns,” he said. Moses said that McFadden’s appointment is temporary, and then a

search would take place for a permanent executive director. But no one at the press conference would say how long McFadden’s stint would be. City asked McFadden, who was at the Housing Authority headquarters on West Main Street prior to but not during the press conference, why he’d leave his longtime job as executive director for Quad A for Kids for a temporary post, and he said, “I can’t do both.” The Housing Authority board was scheduled to hold its regular meeting on Wednesday, October 22.

‘Question Bridge’ turns to art Last week’s installment of the “Question Bridge: Black Males” conversation series at Rochester Contemporary Art Center was themed “Community Art Perspective.” The panel featured Shawn Dunwoody, artist and community arts organizer; Shabaka Mu Ausar, filmmaker and president of UTCHAT VISION; and Thomas Warfield, dancer and founder-artistic director of PeaceArt International. Each of the panelists use their roles as leaders in the Rochester art community to educate and facilitate crucial change. The group kept returning to the fact that the nation is too focused on specific, painful fragments of the black story. There is a serious misunderstanding of what people of African descent have always offered the world in terms of invention, ingenuity, and art from the ancient world, through the age of slavery, and to the present day, they said. By framing black experience in such limited terms, the discussion went, the nation maintains a status quo that benefits some and holds the majority down. This week’s conversation is at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, October 22, featuring Mayor Lovely Warren. Topic to be announced. All discussions in the series are held at Rochester Contemporary Art Center, 137 East Avenue, 4612222, rochestercontemporary.org.

PUBLIC SAFETY | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Privacy, other questions surround body cameras A Rochester police officer strikes a pregnant woman in the back of the head and throws her to the ground. Bystander video of the event — an August 2013 altercation between the officer and Rochester resident Brenda Hardaway — lands on social media, creating a stir. The police explanation went like this: If only you’d seen what happened right before, when the woman and the officer swung at each other, AliFrazier style, in the driveway. A year later, Rochester police take resident Clem Long into custody in connection with alleged drug activity. A bystander video on social media shows an officer repeatedly striking the man.
The police say: If only the video showed what happened right before, when Long resisted arrest and another man attacked the officer with a metal broom.
Body-worn cameras are one way to remove the “if only” from police-community encounters, advocates say, though even they are careful to point out that the technology isn’t the answer to every question. The City of Rochester is reportedly studying the use of body cameras, though it’s not clear who is studying what and when the results will be made public; Mayor Lovely Warren did not respond to requests for an interview on this story. (Monroe County will also likely undertake a pilot program for the sheriff’s department.) Police departments across the country are outfitting their officers with body cameras in hopes that the technology will help ease tensions with their communities and protect the lives and safety of officers and the public. The New York Times reports that the movement really picked up steam after the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in August, which triggered outrage and protests.
Though there hasn’t been a systemic study,
anecdotal reports show that complaints against police drop when officers wear body cameras. A small police department in Rialto, California, for example, saw an 88 percent reduction in complaints against its police force the first year the cameras were used, says KaeLyn Rich, director of the Genesee Valley chapter of the New York Civil Liberties Union. And police departments in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee, and Oakland, California, report decreases in the number of complaints after officers began wearing body cameras, according to media reports. But it’s not clear whether the reductions are because many complaints are unjust in the first place, says John Klofas, professor of criminal justice at Rochester Institute of Technology, or because everyone — police and the public — behaves better when they know they’re being recorded. 6 CITY
OCTOBER 22-28, 2014
The troubling part, Rich says, is that many departments are charging ahead with cameras without policies in place to govern their use. There’s the very basic question of how The Rev. Lewis Stewart. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN communities pay for the technology, keeping in mind that, given the nature of police work, the cameras break frequently. But there are also more nuanced questions of privacy for police and citizens, fairness, and trust. Who decides when the cameras are turned on and off? Who gets to view the footage? How will the footage be used? How long will it be stored? What if someone wants to speak to an officer confidentially? What if the people involved in an incident — as suspects or victims — are underage? But there’s a more fundamental question, too, Klofas says, that’s equal parts practical JO H N K L O FA S , R I T P R O F ESSOR and philosophical. The camera’s eye may not O F C R I M I N A L JU S T I C E blink, but what, exactly, does it see? “It’s a mistake to think that the camera will answer all questions because the camera understands at this point what the camera sees sees everything.

Would footage shot from different “That’s a very good question,” Klofas says. angles, heights, and distances lend itself to “I think there is a strong argument that is varying interpretations of events?

lobbied individual City Council members and Council as a whole for cameras and for an independent civilian review board to oversee the police. The Rev. Lewis Stewart, president of United Christian Leadership Ministry, says that the body cameras must be on at all times; officers should not be able to turn them on and off. That’s the only way you’re going to win the community’s trust, he says. “People do not trust the police,” Stewart says. “They are highly suspicious of them. And officers have been known in other communities to turn off those cameras when they sense that there’s going to be a provocative or intense encounter.” Stewart’s right about that. A couple of examples: a Daytona Beach police officer resigned earlier this year after he reportedly turned off his body camera during an arrest, and a New Orleans officer turned off her camera before a shooting, though she said she did so because it was the end of her shift and she was headed back to the station, according to media reports. Stewart’s also worried about police doctoring footage to suit their needs. “We need to look at that and make sure that it is not erased,” he says, “that it is available at all times.” But Mike Mazzeo, head of the Rochester police union the Locust Club, says that having the cameras on all the time might not be fair to officers. What if officers, in an unguarded moment, say something about a boss or a co-worker? Could that footage be used against them?

recording when officers turn on their siren or open their door. Maybe some sort of similar trigger mechanism can be implemented with body cameras, he says. Klofas says that the people who want the cameras on all the time might regret it later on. “I’ve looked at a lot of these tapes, and they’re the most boring things in the world,” he says. “I mean, think about what it would look like if you had a camera on you.”

One of the interesting things about the body-camera debate is that the technology is attracting cautious support from social justice and civil rights groups that would normally bristle at the idea of increased police surveillance, including the NYCLU and the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund. “I don’t know if ‘supportive’ is the right word,” says Rich, of the NYCLU’s Genesee Valley chapter. “If used appropriately, they could really be a win-win for both the police and the communities that they serve. We’re not necessarily saying that everything should be available all the time.” While the ACLU generally takes a dim view of the proliferation of surveillance cameras in the US, “police on-body cameras are different because of their potential to serve as a check against the abuse of power by police officers,” says a paper written by ACLU Senior Policy Analyst Jay Stanley. Colin O’ Malley, of the local social justice group Metro Justice, says that while the group supports “mechanisms that will lead to real police accountability in policecommunity relations in Rochester,” group members haven’t formed a strong opinion on body cameras. Good policy is the answer to privacy and other concerns about body cameras, many advocates say. To move forward with the technology without a considered, clear, and highly structured policy is foolhardy, they say. “I don’t see us buying cameras and people just pinning them on,” says Loretta Scott, president of Rochester City Council. “I don’t want us to take too long studying it, but I want us to do it right, because there are matters of privacy for the officers, certainly.” Scott says that used appropriately, the cameras could help repair the deep rift that exists between the police and certain communities in Rochester — particularly communities of color. “People don’t have a high level of trust. I mean, it just is what it is,” she says. “And if there is this other piece of technology that could help enhance that, I think it would benefit both the police and the community.”

McAndrew says he is a huge music fan and wanted to bring back the spirit of Milestone’s in the new place. “I used to go to Milestone’s all the time to see amazing shows,” he says. “We wanted to turn this back into that kind of place — Rochester’s premiere live music venue.” The layout of Flour City Station, which officially opened on September 6, has not changed much, although the place has been given a much-needed facelift. The stage is the focus in the main room, with a newly built bar and giant chalkboard wall behind it that lists the current cocktail offerings — $10 will buy you a drink off of its signature cocktail menu. The kitchen had not been in use for close to 10 years and was completely redone as well. No matter what your spirit preference — vodka, bourbon, even moonshine — you should be able to find a cocktail that will suit your fancy. Flour City Station also has a draft beer selection that will change every few months and seasonally. The menu is considered “upscale bar fare” — with a few unique items like the Buffalo Chicken Ravioli ($7 for 5 pieces): homemade pasta stuffed with chicken breast, cream cheese, and buffalo sauce which is then breaded and baked. A half dozen wings will cost you $6, and along with the standard mild, medium, and hot sauces, Flour City has a house sesame jalapeño and a Cajun barbeque sauce to choose from. An item to keep an eye on is the Chicken Pesto Flatbread ($9): a flatbread brushed with pesto, topped with grilled, marinated chicken, mixed field
greens, artichokes, roasted red peppers, and a balsamic glaze. “Everything we make here is from scratch and the menu will be continually evolving and changing with new items we are experimenting with and seasonally,” McAndrew says. Flour City Station is located at 170 East Avenue. It is open Tuesday through Saturday, 4 p.m. to 2 a.m., and Sunday, 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. All menu items available until 10 p.m. and select menu items are available until 12 or 1 a.m. Menu prices range from $3.50 to $11.

CITY 9
ART FEATURE | BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
It’s a daunting task to start a map-less career in this modern world, with its perpetual insanity. It’s easy to feel entirely adrift. Each year, City Newspaper highlights four Rochester artists who are beginning to come into their own, and are plotting their own course. The following four emerging artists — Brittany Williams, Kim “YEWS” Brozic, Rork Maiellano, and Davya Brody — exhibit a refreshing openness to possibility; they are taking one promising day at a time. Their paths are non-linear, but these young artists are more concerned with flexing creativity than with having all of the answers right now — and they are unafraid of self-initiated reinvention when things get stale. Read on to learn more about the creative self-discovery of these four burgeoning artists.
Brittany Williams: Capturing character Brittany Williams has developed a seriously masterful skill of creating photorealistic portraits — many of which are in tribute to her favorite musicians — with colored pencils. For example, the fact that her moody depiction of Jimi Hendrix is a drawing and not a photo is given away mostly by the contrast between the way she drew his features and her inclusion of a vibrant, almost cartoon-like, psychedelic scarf. Williams, who is 24 years old, has been drawing since she was 10, but the idea of being an artist didn’t click into place until much later. Drawing “was one of those things I liked to do when none of my friends were outside,” Williams, a Rochester native, says. “I would draw characters from my favorite cartoons or books.” As it is with so many young creatives, the idea of making a living with art just didn’t seem feasible to Williams. “I was really into sports, particularly basketball,” she says. Through high school, earning a basketball scholarship was her main priority, but she also took AP art courses. “I’ve always been comfortable doing realistic drawings,” Williams says. But recently, she grew bored with this style and wanted to challenge herself to work in a looser fashion. 10 CITY OCTOBER 22-28, 2014
“One of my favorite artists, James Blagden, does these linear illustrations and I just got inspired to try it,” Williams says. “The hardest thing for me was trying not to be too detailed, and just go with the flow.” Even with a severely pared down style, Williams excels at capturing the likenesses of icons. Her upcoming show, “Hair Don’t Lie,” (which opens November 7 at Studio 215 ROC in the Hungerford Building) features her fresh new linear portraits, and was inspired by a conversation she had with a male friend. “We were talking about how men care about their hair just as much as women. They’re just very low-key about it,” she says. “Plus, I’ve been wanting to do a show that was basketball-themed. So it clicked in my head: why not do an art show based off of NBA players’ hair?” Williams strives to balance her love of creating art with her love of the game. She recently became an assistant women’s basketball coach for Roberts Wesleyan College, and says that her future goals include creating a mural and doing a series of illustrations for Sports Illustrated or ESPN. “Other than that, I just want to be the best artist I can be and make the work that makes me happy,” she says.

Kim "YEWS" Brozic has a background in fine arts and design, but prefers to express her creativity by painting letterform graffiti on the streets. Over the past two years, Brozic quickly developed some serious skill, has painted in two FUA Krew BBOY BBQs, and became a member of HFK crew. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN
Kim “YEWS” Brozic: For the love of letters “There’s something about letters that I never knew I would love so much,” says 27-yearold Kim Brozic, who writes graffiti under the name YEWS. “Maybe it’s because your options really are just endless. I love bright colors…the formations…you can do whatever you want with them. I get bored with everything else.” Brozic has a fine arts background and obtained early graphic design jobs. “I was always good at it, but not passionate. So I gave up for a while,” she says. Her creative return came unexpectedly a few years later, when she began hanging out with graffiti writer Cruk of FUA Krew, who noticed Brozic could draw, and encouraged her to learn how to use spray cans. Brozic says she fell in love with this “secret world” of graffiti: “Someone can show you the ropes, but you can’t go to school for it.” She quickly filled up several black books,
experimenting with hand styles, and began hitting the subway and the streets. Around the same time, her father was diagnosed with lung cancer. “Out of that really dark time, even after he passed away, I was able to create the most beautiful things,” she says. “I’m inspired by an ever changing group of artists — but have always looked up to German artist MadC, and people based in Los Angeles, like The Seventh Letter crew,” Brozic says. She says her style has “sort of developed into this drippy, organic thing,” and that she loves to make swoopy, flowing work, rather than working with sharp, hard edges. She’s conscious of the fact that graffiti is still largely a guy’s game, but growing up with a strong mother and older brothers has helped Brozic develop a sense of daring. “I knew I could be just as good as the boys,” she says. “The only difference is when I pee, I sit down.” Brozic has been involved in the local graffiti scene for about two years now, is a member of the local HFK crew, and has painted in two
of the annual FUA Krew BBOY BBQ’s. One particularly gratifying moment, Brozic says, was when FUA Krew member Range bought a Marilyn Monroe poster that Brozic had altered to look more like a glamorous Tank Girl. Despite the sometimes illegal nature of her craft, she says her family has always been supportive and enthusiastic about what she does. “They see that I have a light in my eyes about it,” she says. Brozic says she doesn’t think in specific terms about the future. “I’m hoping to just really improve my style, paint in more productions, and be able to just walk up to a wall and know exactly what I’m going to do.” She knows this will follow from repetition, and gaining more confidence in her abilities. “You just gotta keep going,” she says. “The moment that you care enough about the amount of sleep you had, when you last ate…you’re not going to succeed. What you’re trying to be successful in has to be number one on your list.”
Rork Maiellano: Relating as art
Rork Maiellano's focus has been on richly rendered fairy tales and myths, but recently he has begun to explore performance, with a particular focus on the conversation-as-art. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN
Though 28-year-old Rork Maiellano has identified as an illustrator for years now, he’s experiencing a shift in his approach and medium. With mostly colored pencils, Maiellano has created a portfolio of lush and lovely illustrations based on known and obscure fairy tales and myths, tinged heavily with the darker sides of the stories. He says he’s still trying to figure out what his art trajectory is, but has an organic approach to it all. “It’s difficult to talk about anything in definite terms,” he says. Art was always something I knew I was going to do, in a way,” he says. Maiellano grew up in Pavilion, New York, and received early support from parents regarding his creative impulse. He began drawing at age three, had an art tutor, and his parents took him to live nude figure drawing

classes when he was in high school. Maiellano graduated from SUNY Purchase in 2008. While in college, Maiellano became interested in psychology, emotional health, and ideas about empathy, and what it is to connect with other people. “Before, my illustrations were very much about telling other peoples’ stories — fairy tales, folk tales…depicting beautiful women,” Maiellano says. “That’s what inspired me, more than the subject as a work of art, I was drawing people that I wanted to be. I was drawing these women that I felt were kind of like who I was inside, or how I saw myself, or who I looked up to in terms of standards or ideals of beauty. But that stopped speaking to me right around the time I got into college and was exposed to different, challenging ideas.” Maiellano says that for a while, his art kind of fell to the side because it felt as though he was repeating the same thing over and over, that he wasn’t really challenging himself. continues on page 12 rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 11

After graduating, Maiellano felt anxious and disconnected from others, and began researching personality disorders, such as narcissism and sociopathy. “There was just this whole realm of being a human that I hadn’t known about before,” he says. “And it became very interesting to me — mostly out of terror — that I was exhibiting some of these qualities, and very afraid of what that implied.” So he sought to learn more about empathy and connection. Reading work in this field helped Maiellano clarify experiences of disconnection he’d had. In particular, the work of qualitative researcher Brené Brown — who studies vulnerability, courage, authenticity, and shame — A colored-pencil illustration by Rork Maiellano. resonated with him. “She has learned a lot about how chronic, unhealthy shame enters into every Maiellano has been incorporating writing aspect of your being and informs every aspect and meeting new people into his craft, but says of our lives.” he’s not ready to give up on drawing altogether. While researching personality disorders New ideas for drawings emerge all the time. that people tend to vilify, he says, “I started “I think it’s moving in a direction that is less wondering how many of those qualifications about looking pretty and a little bit more for those disorders live inside of all of us.” about trying to convey a message of some sort. Maiellano recognizes the importance of finding And I think right now I’m trying to figure common ground in these things, “because they out how to merge these two areas of interest are very scary, and it’s very lonely to have those together. I’m happy teetering on the edge of realizations about oneself, and to feel kind of beauty and darkness.” like a monster.” Self-criticism is necessary for growth, but so is being gentle with oneself and one another. In July, Maiellano tested his new ideas out at The Yards artist residency. He wanted to explore conversation as an art medium. “I was trying to do something that was completely Woodworker and metalsmith Davya Brody not based in drawing,” he says.

Davya Brody: Grassroots art and medicine

says. Brody went back to school to become a nurse practitioner, which is what she does for a living now. About three years ago, Brody was hired for her current job at Anthony L. Jordan Health Center, decided to leave the Ph.D. program she was enrolled in, and re-dedicated some time for making art. She says, instead of being locked into research, she wanted to have a more direct impact with medicine. “I think research is vital, but that process can become very heady and dissociated from the people you are trying to help,” she says. In the past year, Brody began leading the Anthony L. Jordan OB/GYN department CenteringPregnancy initiative, which is participating in a county-wide move toward a new model of prenatal care that takes place in a group setting. When Brody refocused on making art, she found she had fallen out of love with using metal, and turned back to carving. About this time, she met the artists involved with The Yards, which she describes as having been an encouraging community for her. Cofounder Sarah Rutherford told Brody that they had a wood shop which had been used for constructing pieces of their installations, but that they’d like it to be used regularly by sculptors as well. Brody says she has loved participating in the programs and installations The Yards team presents.
Last summer, she participated in The Yards’ inaugural artist residency, at which she worked on her emotionally expressive wooden masks. This summer, Brody became one of two artists who moved into newly constructed studios at The Yards (the other is occupied by Marisa Krol). Recently, Brody began making boxes of teak and mahogany with detailed faces carved onto the surfaces, and is interested in learning classical carpentry skills so that she can add craftsmanship-quality details (like hidden hinges) to the work. She has also begun to make and sell unique jewelry, featuring small bits of branches combined with copper tubing, which look like little industrial relics reclaimed by undeniable nature. Brody says she often sees vague forms and features in pieces of wood and works to bring them out. She sources her materials from walks in the woods, or Pittsford Lumber, if she is looking for something specific. For now, Brody is focusing on coming out as an artist and on exploring her blossoming career in medicine. She is interested in pursuing a midwifery degree, but wants to be sure that her two worlds integrate naturally in her life. She’s been an important behind-the-scenes support during community events, including the Wall Therapy street art festival and related events. “I feel very invested in Rochester,” she says. “I want to continue to make time to explore these precious things.”
What if we could catch a glimpse of what our future holds? A conversation about our future here on earth and in other places in the universe.

It was a precursor for the British pop band’s debut album, “Bad Blood,” which debuted at number one on the UK albums chart, and number 11 on the Billboard 200.

Hearing the instruments trade off the lead like they do is nice, but hearing the solos is the real treat. A great song to gauge if you’ll dig the band is “Ziggowatt.” Spacey sax and chunky bass go back and forth the majority of the tune, and then out of nowhere a melt-your-face-off guitar solo takes over.

[ REVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
From my balcony perch at Sticky Lips Juke Joint during The Empty Hearts’ positively packed show last Tuesday night, it was as if I was staring into a boiling, balding caldron of Scorgie’s remnants and black-clad bon vivants. And this was a fantastic show; a memorable show; the band’s maiden voyage on stage anywhere. As this quartet continues to grow and time goes by, the amount of people that were at that show will grow, like all the people — “I was there, man” — who claim to have been at Woodstock. The sound was big, beautiful, and loud, and the band rocked boldly between sniper precision and a swaggering stroll. The Empty Hearts has staggering rock star pedigree and a collective pile of instantly recognizable hits that, when wedged into the band’s mostly original set, made the influence of The Cars, Blondie, and The Romantics a little more apparent. The Chesterfield Kings weren’t represented sadly, but I did what I could, kids, and screamed “Richard Speck” half a dozen times. If you had just strolled in off the street you would have thought “Hey, what a
happenin’ scene. Rochester is pretty cool.” And I was there, man. If you couldn’t slow down and go down to the Heavy Trash low down throw down at Water Street Music Hall, then I’m here to rub it in. You missed a mondo killer rockabilly shock transmission from the very heart of primal rock ‘n’ roll. Heavy Trash heaped on the sleaze just swimming in grease and reverb. Like I’ve said before, Heavy Trash is more about the spark than the flame. Coming on like an Elvis Christ carnival barker, front man Jon Spencer proved to be essentially the same microphone-eating, wild-ass personae as when he fronts the Blues Explosion — it’s just that the Blues explosion is all about the detour and pioneering fresh mayhem. Heavy trash is a lot more rudimentary, drawing from the period when the stitches that held R&B, blues, and hillbilly boogie together still hadn’t completely healed. The whole show was sweltering and swinging culminating in Spencer raving and testifying from atop the bar. Have Mercy.

Music called Workshop with electric cello. I was into guys like composer Harry Partch. Why jazz? Does it lend itself best to your odd leanings?
I think the thing I dig about jazz is I don’t know it. It’s very hard for me to play jazz. It’s a lot easier for me to do other things. Every day I wake up and say, “I have no idea; how do I do this?” When I play, I’m not playing jazz, I’m tuning frequencies. If someone in the audience isn’t feeling so hot I’ll bend a note in a certain way to try and change the vibe in the room. When imparting knowledge, philosophy or technique, which students benefit the most from your view: the technically proficient or the inquisitive?
Hopefully both. How do you teach? Along with teaching guitar, Steve Greene has played with a host of bands, including Flat Toy, Mr. Twang, The White Hots, and Handmade Orchestra. PHOTO PROVIDED
Being Steve Greene Steve Greene TO LISTEN, VISIT STEVEGREENE.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
Beyond the notes, the tone, and the technique, and all the “gee whiz” from the proletariat, stands the man who is the master of all three. Rochester jazz guitarist Steve Greene is an utterly splendid and prolific artist. But a conversation with this stunning cat goes deeper to reveal aspects that pre-date the notes, tone, and technique and even threaten to overshadow them. Gabbing with the gregarious Greene about the nuts and bolts reveals a fascinating man consumed by fascination. Greene is transparently opaque, gently obtuse, and a character and a half. He is the space between the notes and is so cool, I swear to God, sheep count him. Though he still claims to be learning, himself, Greene teaches guitar, mandolin, and ukulele to roughly 25 student currently enrolled in his 12-Corners teaching studio. He keeps busy composing and performing. He has played in Flat Toy, Mr. Twang, The White Hots, The Steve Greene Trio, Handmade Orchestra, as well as assorted solo affairs. He has composed for art installations as well as dance companies like Garth Fagan Dance and The Boston Dance Collective. Beyond the afore-mentioned guitar qualities stands a man confounded by the 16 CITY 0CTOBER 22-28, 2014
beauty he seeks and the beauty he creates. He keeps the listener guessing because he’s still guessing. Greene is wickedly deadpan and a regular riot. The Greene machine stopped in to answer some silly questions and share a few yucks. An edited transcript follows. City: What’s new? Steve Greene: That’s your opener? Sorry. You’ve experimented plenty outside of the acoustic jazz people associate you with. Let’s talk about that. Is that better?
Yes; I’ve been to the dark side. I grew up in the rock era, so guitar for me was Hendrix and all that stuff. I really love electric music. When I played with Flat Toy years ago it was all distorted Les Paul, whammy bar stuff. What made you first pick up a guitar?
There was this guy coming down the street playing ukulele when I was 10 years old. He was getting all the rats out of town. I said to my parents I want to play the ukulele. And my mom said, “No, you should play guitar.” So it’s really coming from the womb. Were your parents musicians as well?
My dad was a med-psyche guy; mom was a social worker. They definitely encouraged me. Our house was where all the bands practiced. And when it got too loud they’d put pillows over the heat runs.
To cover the noise or suffocate the band?
Only three of the band members survived. When did the jazz bug bite?
When I saw a band mate ripping all these cool jazz riffs on a Gibson ES-175. I said “Ooh, I like that.” As you went along, what else colored your sound?
When I was growing up I wasn’t just doing music. I was painting a lot; photography; a lot of sculpture. What is the common thread running through these various endeavors?
In all those things you’re arranging space in some way. Why did you gravitate to music?
The great thing about music is that it’s a social thing as opposed to going off to paint alone or photograph alone. But it took me years to get used to playing in front of people. Between sets I’d go out to the car because I couldn’t stand the crowd thing. Why do you suppose you’re drawn to the avant-garde?
When you have a lot of questions, you try to figure it out. Growing up, in my home I had books by Alexander Calder, paintings on the wall, “Scientific American” in the bathroom; it was my environment. I was inquisitive, and growing up with parents in the psychiatric field, there’s a lot of questioning. I’ve always had this avant-garde streak. In high school I had a band
The way I teach is, I don’t tell anybody what to do and that’s it. They give me some bread. It’s nice. I ask people what they want to do, that’s the first thing you’ve got to figure out. I have to work from where their creative sense is. Whether it’s a jazz thing, a folk thing, a metal thing, I want people to be able to open their ears and get more creative. People come in thinking guitar or composition or improvisation is a certain thing, but what I’m really trying to do is to keep them moving through the creative process. I would imagine you’re learning too.
If someone comes in and says, “I’m really into speed metal,” that’s great for me because I get to learn all that stuff. Do you ever come to an impasse with certain students?
If someone is into really advanced classical guitar, for example, there’s clearly another teacher who’s better for them; It’s better that they get the tradition from somebody else, someone who teaches it. What’s the most ridiculous or far flung thing you’ve done?
Play in a Holiday Inn Band in the early 80’s. We wore crushed velvet suits; it was great. That was so outside the box for me. Handmade Orchestra or avant-garde things like that are more natural to me. What groups are you currently performing with?
Every once in a while we’ll do a Steve Greene Trio gig. Now I’m in The Just Jazz Trio with Ron Alessi on drums and Gary Cummings on bass. It’s nice not having my name on it. So you don’t have to worry about being Steve.
Whoever that is. Yeah, it’s less pressure. It’s nice just being the guitar player in a band.

CLASSICAL | “HANDEL & HAYDN IN ENGLAND”
George Frideric Handel was born in Germany, and Joseph Haydn was born in Austria-Hungary, but they were both idolized in London — Handel for his operas and choral works, Haydn for his great series of symphonies written for London audiences. The Rochester Oratorio Society, under director Eric Townell, presents two imposing works by these celebrated Anglophiles, this weekend: “My song shall be alway,” one of the choral anthems Handel wrote for the Duke of Chandos; and Haydn’s magnificent “Lord Nelson” Mass (the only thing English about this work is its nickname, bestowed after the piece was performed to celebrate Admiral Horatio Nelson’s victory over Napoleon in 1798). Genuinely English or not, it is absolutely one of Haydn’s greatest and most dramatic works. ROS will be joined by soprano Emily Mills Woodruff; mezzo-soprano Katie Hanigan; tenor Matthew Valverde; and bass Carl DuPont. Along with these two choral works, you’ll get a beautiful piece by an actual English composer: Gerald Finzi’s “Eclogue” for piano and strings, with pianist Kevin Nitsch as the soloist. Rochester Oratorio Society presents “Handel and Haydn in England,” on Friday, October 24, at Hochstein Performance Hall, 50 North Plymouth Avenue. 7:30 p.m. $20 in advance, $25 at the door. 473-2234; rossings.org. — BY DAVID RAYMOND

“Bad Jews” THROUGH SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2 JCC CENTERSTAGE THEATRE, 1200 EDGEWOOD AVENUE THURSDAYS AT 7 P.M.; SATURDAYS AT 8 P.M.; AND SUNDAYS AT 2 P.M. $18-$26 | 461-2000; JCCCENTERSTAGE.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND
You don’t have to be Jewish, or even particularly bad, to love Joshua Harmon’s corrosive comedy “Bad Jews.” An OffBroadway hit last year, it is receiving its first regional theater production at the JCC CenterStage. Artistic Director Ralph Meranto was eager to get the rights for this play, and with good reason: as the title suggests, “Bad Jews” is extremely funny, extremely rude, and extremely thought-provoking. And best of all, it’s exceptionally well directed and acted. “Bad Jews” takes place in an upper West Side apartment occupied by two brothers from a well-to-do Jewish family, Liam (Carl Del Buono) and Jonah (Justin Borak), who are hosting their cousin Daphna (Janine Mercandetti) after the funeral of their grandfather. (Most of the claustrophobic set is taken up by fold-up beds.) Liam has missed the funeral — he dropped the iPhone with the call about his grandfather’s death while on a ski lift at Vail — and is just arriving with his girlfriend Melody (Samantha Buckman), who is not Jewish (when questioned about her ethnic origin by Daphna, she replies “Delaware”). 20 CITY OCTOBER 22-28, 2014
All the above is enough to give Daphna an epic case of shpilkes, but there’s more: She is determined to leave with a family heirloom, a gold chai (a Hebrew letter and the word for “life”). The grandfather kept this ornament hidden throughout the Holocaust and gave it to their grandmother instead of an engagement ring. Liam is equally determined to have it as an engagement gift for Melody, and in fact received it from his grandfather just before he died. Daphna, however, thinks that as the family’s “good Jew,” she has it coming to her. The ensuing struggle for “life” is, to put it mildly, ferocious. If you find it amusing, or perhaps distressing, that one of the characters in “Bad Jews” is a Jewish man with a Celtic first name, you are probably on this play’s wavelength. Harmon pits a socalled “SuperJew”, the super-observant, politically abrasive Daphna, against the more easygoing cultural Jewishness of the “bad Jews,” Liam and Jonah. Harmon touches on questions about Jewish identity, family relationships and sense of entitlement, a close-knit group’s treatment of outsiders, and quite a lot more. The arguments are fascinating (and occasionally jaw-dropping) to watch and to hear, as the characters pace and circle each other like tigers in the tiny apartment. Ralph Meranto has cast “Bad Jews” astutely, and his direction reflects his enthusiasm for the play; it has a tremendous, focused energy throughout that suits the script perfectly. Harmon has thrown these tigers
some tasty red meat, and the actors in the CenterStage cast attack it like they haven’t eaten in a week. Mercandetti almost runs away with the show as Daphna. This character is loudmouthed, ever-grudging, nagging, unendingly self-righteous, and just plain mean, and Mercandetti gives it all she’s got; yet she also manages to find just a bit of sympathy and understanding for this character, giving a performance that is much more than a caricature. Daphna’s spectacular mop of hair (much commented on by Liam) is practically the play’s fifth character. Mercandetti and Carl Del Buono have performed together so often lately that audiences might be forgiven for thinking they’re actually one (very talented) performer. They certainly work together as one here, giving full-out, but precisely detailed performances. For example, Del Buono gets a rage-filled aria soon after his entrance, and he nails every laugh in it, but he also subtly echoes Daphna in his body language — showing that despite their mutual disdain, Liam and Daphna are indeed related. This is impressive acting and directing. Daphna and Liam have the showy parts in “Bad Jews,” but Justin Borak and Samantha Buckman more than hold their own. The character of Melody at first seems brought in simply so Daphna can make some easy jokes about WASPs. Buckman is cute and clueless here, the pussycat in the tigers’ den; but as the play gets nastier, Buckman shows Melody’s stiffening spine convincingly. In fact, her insistence on hearing Daphna’s side of the story leads to the play’s violent climax. As Jonah, Borak brings genuine presence to what at first seems like a non-role, consisting of single-word answers, evasive replies, and frustrated silences. (The opening scene, an endless monologue by Daphna with random replies from Jonah, sounds almost like a parody of the beginning of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.”) But it turns out this placid character has a genuinely surprising trick up his sleeve, which Harmon reserves for the end.

THEATER | “I’M NOT RAPPAPORT”
For its first show of the season, Blackfriars Theatre made do with a single performer: Susan Hopkins in “Shirley Valentine.” The next Blackfriars production ups the ante to two outstanding actors in Herb Gardner’s “I’m Not Rappaport.” This Tony Award-winning play features Rochester theater stalwarts Fred Nuremberg as Nat Moyer, and Reuben Tapp as Midge Carter, old friends and verbal sparring partners who meet each afternoon on a park bench in Central Park (meticulously recreated by John Haldoupis) to discuss families, growing old, and other problems that go along with aging. Since it is by Herb Gardner, “I’m Not Rappaport” is funny, very New York-y, and a bit sentimental — and a great showcase for two perfectly-cast actors. Blackfriars Theatre presents “I’m Not Rappaport,” Friday, October 24, through Sunday, November 9, at Blackfriars Theatre, 795 East Main Street. $28.50-$36.50. 0454-1260, bftx.org. — BY DAVID RAYMOND rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 21

Tapping back in Kevin James FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24 AUDITORIUM THEATER, 885 EAST MAIN STREET 7:30 P.M. | $38-$88 | RBTL.ORG; KEVINJAMES.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY JAKE CLAPP
It’s been 13 years since comedian Kevin James’ one-hour stand-up special, “Sweat the Small Stuff,” debuted on Comedy Central. In the years since, James has broken out as a major actor in comedy movies — he made his first film appearance with Will Smith in 2005’s “Hitch,” co-starred with Adam Sandler in “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry,” and took lead roles in “Paul Blart: Mall Cop,” and “Here Comes the Boom.” But for the most part, James has been fairly quiet in the stand-up world in recent years. James got his start in the early 1990’s as a stand-up on the Long Island comedy scene, and it was his performance at the 1996 Montreal Comedy Festival — and his appearances on Ray Romano’s TV show, “Everybody Loves Raymond” — that led to the creation of his own sitcom, “The King of Queens.” The show ran for nine season on CBS, and earned James an Emmy nomination in 2006 for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. Though he was routinely able to play smaller venues, the busy filming schedule kept him from touring and writing new material as much as he hoped. “It felt kind of stale to me,” James says. To shake things up after he finished filming “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2” and “Pixels” (both scheduled for 2015), James put pen to paper, wrote out some new material, and has hit the road on a string of stand-up dates, including a Friday, October 24, appearance at the Auditorium Theater, 885 East Main Street. James squeezed in a few minutes for a phone interview with City Newspaper, last week, to talk about playing theaters, staying clean on stage, and finally working on a new stand-up special. An edited transcript follows. City: Besides this string of dates, what do you have going on right now? Are you still filming for “Pixels?” Kevin James: That wrapped a little while ago,
so we have that in the can, and also “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2”. I’m excited about those two. April starts with “Mall Cop.” 24 CITY OCTOBER 22-28, 2014
So right now are you just focusing on stand-up and doing these shows on tour?
Exactly. I’ve never stopped doing stand-up, I always loved doing it. But now was a nice time, after doing these movies, where we could put together a tour and really get out there and do new stuff and have fun with it. You’re performing at the Auditorium Theatre in Rochester, which is a larger venue. And I know you’re doing larger places on this tour. Do you ever get back to smaller clubs?
You know, it’s funny, about a year and half ago I went out and did some — I’ll write new material and do them in the clubs. I’ll stop and just pop into a club and do some sets there, but most of the time I like doing theaters. It’s kind of nice.
Kevin James will perform at the Auditorium Theater on Friday, October 24. PHOTO PROVIDED
How often do you turn around new material for your stand-up?
Well that was a problem. For a long time, I was still doing the stand-up but it felt kind of stale to me. The audiences were still great and liked it, but I was going, “Oh man, I hope they haven’t heard all of this before.” I just didn’t have the time to write a lot. So I finally dedicated some time and put down some new material and it’s going great. I’m excited. You said you were feeling kind of stale; what is it about stand-up that makes you want to come back to it? Why go from filming so much to wanting to do a new tour?
In everything else you do, in making movies and TV, it’s just a process from editing to writing; to editing to putting it up; then shooting it; then screening and testing it; then you have to promote it and wait for a release date before you finally see how it does. With stand-up, it’s so immediate. You get to write your own, direct your own, do whatever you want right away and you can put it up on stage and get a reaction immediately. The feedback is right away, good or bad. Where did you find inspiration for this new material?
It’s just always been little small things that will annoy me that I kind of make extraordinary. People kind of feel that and see the same thing and connect with it. With my kids, man, my life changed
so much, so there’s what’s going on with how I’m interacting with them. It’s all new relationships and things like that which have changed my life, so I wanted to talk about it. You’re a fairly clean comic. Do you find it challenging to stay clean on stage?
Nah, not for me. I’ve always done it that way, so it’s more natural to do it the way I’ve been doing it for me. I’ve never gone that way, so it would be weirder and more awkward to do that. From seeing an audience reaction, do you encounter audiences maybe expecting dirty material from a stand-up routine?
You know, the shows we do in theaters — that may be true if you go to a comedy club or someplace where they’re not expecting to see you, but my fans know what I’m about. They’re the ones who come to see me at theaters and they’re excited. “Sweat the Small Stuff” was 13 years ago. Do you have any hopes for a new special in the future?
Exactly. We’re starting to put this tour together and write this new material and that’s exactly the plan. We’re waiting to see the right time and see what theater we would want to shoot it at, but we want to do another special.

You’ll also have the chance to meet playwright Wendy MacLeod, whose “Women in Jeopardy” is also on Geva’s 2015 schedule; to see short plays by Rochester area writers aged 13 to 18; and to learn about a new play coming to Geva about the great blues singer Son House.

War continues to be hell “Fury”
(R), DIRECTED BY DAVID AYER NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA
No one doubts that war is Hell, but for Hollywood it remains good cinema. Perhaps because of the passage of time, or because of the rise of the comic-book superhero flicks with all their excessive effects, World War II, the obvious favorite for war films, rarely appears on the screen. The violence and brutality of war cannot compare with the soaring adventures of SpiderMan or the mutant talents of the X-Men.

Brad Pitt in “Fury.” PHOTO COURTESY COLUMBIA PICTURES
Aside from the decidedly mixed success of Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds,” Steven Spielberg’s “Saving Private Ryan,” which appeared in 1998, probably counts as the last significant picture to deal with the war. (In a sickening irony, among its many awards, the movie earned special decorations from the Department of Defense for Steven Spielberg and the U.S. Army Rangers for Tom Hanks; I wonder how many dead young men on Omaha Beach never won a medal.) Arriving amid considerable fanfare and promising something new for the form, “Fury” indeed includes some elements that never show up in the long history of its genre. It begins with a strangely evocative image right out of a Western — a lone horseman in the distance, riding slowly, not across a prairie or a desert, but toward a field strewn with destruction — smoldering pieces of equipment, smashed guns, ruined tanks. As the rider, a German officer, inspects the scene, a man jumps out of a tank and cuts his throat, a moment that establishes the bloody intimacy of this vision of war.
The attacker is Sergeant Don Collier (Brad Pitt) called “Wardaddy” by his men, which nicely summarizes his character and work in the story. Collier commands a Sherman tank called Fury, fighting inside Germany in April 1945, when though the war seems won, the fighting continues. Hitler has declared total war on the Allies, conscripting young boys and old men into the ranks and calling upon his people to fight to the death. That situation leads Fury and her crew of five into a series of engagements, rescuing a platoon surrounded by enemy soldiers, taking a couple of towns, shooting and killing hundreds of Germans. Aside from the several episodes of combat, the personal side of the story involves the initiation of a raw replacement, Norman (Logan Lerman) into the realities of war. A clerktypist sent to a tank crew through the familiar inefficiency of the military, Norman learns, under the tutelage of “Wardaddy,” how to face horror, how to grieve, and most important, how to kill and even how to enjoy killing. The movie shows with some conviction the familiar sequences of cinematic warfare — artillery barrages, tank cannons blasting away at other tanks, machine gun bullets clanking off armor plate, buildings, vehicles, and people consumed by flames — capturing the chaos and terror of battle. Its story of a hardened veteran mentoring a novice also follows a familiar path with a predictable conclusion.

High Falls Film Festival 2014 High Falls Film Festival THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, THROUGH SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26 279-8312; HIGHFALLSFILMFESTIVAL.COM [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
Since a tank crew of five cannot provide the microcosm of ethnic and geographical diversity of the usual Hollywood platoon, the movie lacks a strong internal character dynamic. Norman’s crewmates are a trio of crude louts, bullies with a hint of psychopathic sadism in their dealings with him and the German civilians; in a war movie, the soldiers should exhibit at least a little character development and a modicum of humanity to distinguish them from the enemy. Except for their devotion to their sergeant, these soldiers possess little in the way of any vestige of likeability. Although it clanks along on the heavily traveled path of war films, “Fury” deserves some credit for a shocking and generally unpleasant depiction of military behavior. I don’t think I have ever seen a war movie in which American soldiers kill unarmed, surrendering prisoners; although he demonstrates traces of sensitivity and humanity, “Wardaddy” commits that act and even forces the resisting Norman into it as well. Americans don’t like to think their soldiers commit atrocities, but “Fury” suggests otherwise. Perhaps after the revelations of army conduct at Abu Ghraib, audiences no longer experience shock and even shame at such incidents, most of which no doubt go unreported or covered up by the military. Perhaps the appearance of “Fury” suggests yet another instance of how war brutalizes its practitioners and how America has lost itself.
The High Falls Film Festival returns Thursday, October 23, through Sunday, October 26, for its 12th year. Under the guidance of a new Executive Director, Mary Manard Reed, the festival has shifted to a new fall timeframe (previous editions occurred in early summer) but remains committed to its focus on spotlighting the achievements of female filmmakers. With the release of several recent studies showing that women continue to be sorely under-represented in roles both in front of and behind the camera (including one by the Center for the Study of Women in Television & Film which revealed that in the 250 topgrossing films released in 2013, women comprised only 16 percent of key behindthe-scenes roles) it’s clear that the festival’s mission remains as important as ever. Along with film screenings, the festival will also host Q&A sessions with filmmakers before select screenings, a free educational panel discussion on Saturday, and free coffee chats with filmmakers. For more information, the complete

schedule, and ticket information visit highfallsfilmfestival.com. What follows are a few selections that City Newspaper was able to preview from this year’s lineup. For its opening night selection, High Falls screens a cinematic ode to women of a certain age: “I Know a Woman Like That.” Director Elaine Madsen (mother of Virginia Madsen, who acts as producer) interviews a variety of women who haven’t let a little thing like getting older slow them down or prevent them from accomplishing everything they want in life. Madsen talks to authors, artists, activists, and more, finding women (like Rita Moreno, Gloria Steinem, and Lauren Hutton) who are vibrant, charismatic and fascinating. Screens Thursday, October 23, 6:15 p.m. at The Little; and Friday, October 24, 10:30 a.m. at the Dryden Theatre. A small Appalachian town deals with the aftermath of a tragic mining accident in “Little Accidents,” from writer-director Sara Colangelo. Expanding her 2010 short, the filmmaker gets good performances out of a strong cast, including Elizabeth Banks, Chloe Sevigny, and Josh Lucas. Boyd Holbrook is a particular standout as the sole survivor of the accident, who’s forced to testify about the possible negligence of the mine’s executives while facing pressure from the townspeople who rely on the mine to survive. Despite some contrived plot developments and a leisurely pace, the film nevertheless emerges as an intriguing examination of class divides in rural America. Screens Friday, October 24, 9 p.m. at the Dryden Theatre; and Saturday, October 25, 6:30 p.m. at The Little. There are 1.6 million young people currently homeless in America, and with their documentary, “The Homestretch,” directors Anne de Mare and Kirsten Kelly hope to put a face to that staggering number. Focusing on three homeless youths living in Chicago — Roque, who faces immigration issues; Kasey, kicked out by her family for being gay; and Anthony,
a former criminal hoping to gain custody of his son — the film delivers a compelling take on a heartbreaking issue. Screens Friday, October 24, 6:15 p.m. at The Little. With all the depth of a Lifetime made-for-TV movie, “Lies I Told My Little Sister” examines the bonds of sisterly love in the face of a devastating loss. Following the death of their older sister to cancer, the youngest daughter of a WASPy family convinces her sister and mother to accompany her family on a Cape Cod vacation, hoping they can spend time together, “like old times.” Trafficking entirely in trite platitudes and clichés, it’s the type of movie where years of resentments can be solved with a brawl on the beach followed by a hearty laugh. Screens Saturday, October 25, 12 p.m. at The Little. From Brockport native Ann LeSchander, “The Park Bench” follows the blossoming friendship between college students Emily and Mateo as she tutors him in English literature. She’s neurotic, he’s laid back; she’s got a fiancé, he’s a bit of a ladies man, but over the course of the semester, they meet and… well you probably know where this is headed. It’s a familiar but well-told story, aided immeasurably by two charming leads. Screens Saturday, October 25, 2 p.m. at the Dryden Theatre. Very much of the “nothing was ever the same after that summer” genre, “Very Good Girls” follows best friends Lilly and Gerry (Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen), who decide they each want to lose their virginity before heading off for college. Wouldn’t you know it, they end up falling for the same guy, in this case a shaggyhaired artist named David (Boyd Holbrook again). It’s a shame that so many tales of female friendship default to the same old plot about competing for a man, but writer-director Naomi Foner brings enough insight to keep the story feeling fresh. Screens Saturday, October 25, 7:15 p.m. at the Dryden Theatre.

And given the City’s intensive investments and dedicated home and business owners, the neighborhood will be getting better and better. Grassmere Park is one of many delightful treelined streets in Charlotte; the cheery house at 81 Grassmere stands out with its sunny color and its unusual, eye-catching exterior features such as dormers, a front-facing chimney, and a funky decorative brick wall that extends from the east side. Built in 1926, the 1,548 square foot abode blends the charms of the old with stylish newness. Beyond the front door and vestibule is a spacious front living room with a handsome fireplace adorned with tile and a wooden mantel, and built-in shelving. Through an arched doorway from this room is the dazzling open kitchen/dining area that features southwesternstyle tile as well as original hardwood floors; stainless steel fridge, sink and faucet, dishwasher, and oven; and a modern new stove, granite and glass range and hood, cherry cabinetry, and modern lighting. The kitchen also offers ample counter and cabinet space, a breakfast bar, and a second fireplace (you could view and be warmed by two fires at once on this floor). Flanking the fireplace are a large window and French doors that let in lots of light and that open to the patio and backyard.
From the living room, stairs curve up to the second floor and its three cozy bedrooms. The master bedroom includes two closets (with groovy glass doorknobs) with an alcove in between. The two smaller bedrooms have unusual angled walls and ceilings, giving them a more interesting look and feel than the standard cube-shaped room. The bathroom features new tile and sink, and glass block forms one wall of the shower/Jacuzzi (yeah, Jacuzzi!) tub enclosure. The clean basement includes newer Bosch washer/dryer combo, a carpeted room that would function well as a playroom for the kids, and a half bath. Out back are a cute one-car garage, a shed, patio, and generous fenced-in yard. Much TLC has been poured into this house, including a new roof (2012), new driveway (2013), and new water heater (2014). A house with this much craft, charm, and quality in a neighborhood with this much character would cost a pretty penny in most American metros. But here in Rochester, affordability reigns—without its residents having to sacrifice choice and quality of life: 81 Grassmere can be yours for just $114,900.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Signs of the Times
“Selfie fever” has begun to sully the sacred Islamic pilgrimages to Mecca, according to scholars who complained to Arab News in September. What for centuries has been a hallowed journey intended to renew the spirit of Islam (that all Muslims are called upon to experience at least once) has come, for some in the so-called “Facebook era,” to resemble a trip to Disneyland, with visitors to the Sacred Mosque texting friends the “evidence” of their piety. (Another scholar complained in a New York Times opinion piece in October that Mecca is often experienced more as a tour packaged by marketers and centered around Mecca’s upscale shopping malls rather than religious structures.)
The New Normal
— Just in time for California’s new law requiring explicit consent for students’ sexual activities is the free iPhone/Google app Good2Go, which developer Lee Ann Allman promises will simplify the consent process (and even document it). As described in a September Slate.com report, Good2Go requires the initiator to send the prospective partner to at least four smartphone screens, wait for a text message, provide phone numbers (unless he/she is a multiple-user with an “account”) and choose accurately one’s sobriety level -- all before “the mood” evaporates (ending the app’s usefulness). It took the tech-savvy Slate writer four minutes to navigate the process -- and she was still unclear which sexual activities had been consented to, since those specifics aren’t referenced. (The app has since been pulled from the market.) — New York Giants tight end Larry Donnell manages his own fantasy league team by “drafting” NFL players for virtual compe-
titions based on their real-life statistics of the previous weekend. Donnell lamented to New Jersey’s The Record in October that he had benched virtual “Larry Donnell” on his fantasy team the week before because he thought his other tight end (“Vernon Davis”) would do better. In reality, real Donnell had a career-high game, with his three touchdowns leading the real Giants to a 45-14 victory. However, Donnell’s fantasy team lost badly because virtual Larry Donnell (and his weekend statistical bonanza) was on Donnell’s bench.
A Perfect World
In August, the Tampa Bay Times reported a dispute in Dunedin, Florida, between 12-year-old lemonade-stand operator T.J. Guerrero and the adult neighbor (Doug Wilkey) trying to close him down as an unlicensed entrepreneur, despite T.J.’s business plan for assisting his favorite animal shelter. Of course, T.J. was quickly inundated with donations, media praise and more lemonade sales. Wilkey, however, is under investigation by the city after a tipster revealed that Wilkey himself might operate a home-based financial services business not properly licensed.
The Campaign Trail
“My Friends, I Am a Man of Action!”: Roger Weber, running for a Minnesota House seat in November, is now being sued by a neighbor over a property-line dispute near Nashwauk. Rather than working with an arbitrator or mediator, or letting the legal process run its course, Weber in 2013 took a chain saw and sliced completely in half the large, twocar garage that Weber says sat half on his property and half on the neighbor’s.
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 31 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will be in a passionate mood, but if you let your emotions interfere, aggressiveness will take over, leading to a negative response. Patience will be the key. If you can manage to conform to offering gentle affection, you will develop a special connection with someone special. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep your persona honest and low-key. Exaggeration and trying to buy favors will work against you. Focus on offering consistency, stability and most of all, the overall laid-back personality that will invite predictable partners who are willing to meet you halfway.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be hard to resist, and you’ll attract plenty of attention from people in your industry. Be careful not to get involved with someone who is off-limits or who may hinder your position or advancement. Romantic opportunities will be enticing and plentiful. Make wise choices. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll have trouble relating to others socially and are likely to meet unpredictable people who offer you the world but supply you with little. Keep your guard up, and the pace at which you head toward intimacy slow and meaningful, or you may get involved in something unsavory.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Communication will help you transform a relationship based on chemistry into one that far exceeds passion alone. Express your thoughts and show interest in what someone you are drawn to has to say and offer, and you will begin to build an everlasting relationship that will stand the test of time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone from your past will draw your interest, causing confusion and personal conflict. Try to use the experience you have been through as an example and learn from whatever mistakes were made. Take control and make your terms and conditions
clear before you give in to reestablish an old relationship. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Share your feelings and plans. Don’t give in to anyone putting demands on you or trying to control your life. Opt to make the changes that suit you and wait for someone who wants the same things as you. Being a chameleon to keep a relationship going is bound to fail. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Secret affairs may intrigue and entice you, but they aren’t likely to lead to a healthy relationship or a happy ending. You do best with someone who can offer you an unorthodox relationship that is based on
desire, intellectual interests and an unusual lifestyle. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Getting involved in activities that are of an intellectual or creative nature will lead to someone who captures your undivided attention. A change in the way you think will keep you in the running to impress and win the heart of the object of your affection. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Stay in the background and observe how others handle social situations. You are likely to attract someone who is insecure and emotionally manipulative if you aren’t careful.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Go ahead and create a picture-perfect scenario for the person you want to be with. Make a commitment and be willing to compromise in order to find common ground that will allow you both to have what’s important to you. If you can share, you can excel as a couple. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Uncertainty will prevail -- especially when it comes to making a commitment to someone who is causing you anguish and working against you instead of alongside you. It’s important to be sure that you are with someone for the right reason and not to avoid being alone.
