Joe Calabrese

RTA CEO JOE CALABRESE TO RETIRE IN 2020 AMID DECLINING RIDERSHIP, fare increases, perpetual budget woes, a scandal that saw its board president ushered out the door, a separate healthcare scandal involving employees, frustrations and delays on the Healthline after a judge last year ruled its “proof of payment” system unconstitutional, a newly approved economic study and lingering talk about a possible tax increase down the road, RTA will also be looking for a new CEO. Joe Calabrese revealed this week that he plans to retire at the end of his contract in February 2020. He informed the board of his decision last year, he said, well before a string of negative PR and scandals. Serving for 20 years, Calabrese is currently the longest tenured leader of a public transit system in the country. The usual budget crunch was exacerbated into a dire situation when Ohio ceased collecting a tax on Medicaid managed care services. In RTA’s case, that meant the loss of about $20 million a year. Ohio pledged a one-time gift of $25 million to help plug the hole, but that’s a short-term plug on a longterm hole. Looking forward, there’s the talk of a tax increase, but also forecasts for widespread layoffs and route reductions. A proposed fare increase set to take effect in August was postponed after vociferous outcry from the Clevelanders for Public Transit

(CPT), which has lobbied for other commonsense actions from RTA, such as installing a regular public transit rider on the board. As for the economic study, the ﬁrst undertaken by RTA in 21 years, Calabrese said, “If we did have to, in the future, cut more services, what would the negative impact of that be? There are many people who want us to do more. I’m in favor of that, but we can’t do more without more resources. But it would be great to justify what the return on investment might be for those additional dollars that could be invested in public transit. “ On the topic of resources, Calabrese added a reminder that funding from the state of Ohio has dropped from $43.5 million a year when he started to $6.5 million this year. — Vince Grzegorek

City to Buy Plain Dealer Building for New Police Headquarters, Cleveland.com Moving to Old Scene Building Pending council approval, the city of Cleveland will purchase the Plain Dealer building at 1801 Superior Ave. and renovate it for the new police headquarters. The city had been on the hunt for a new cop HQ after agreeing to sell its part of the Justice Center to Cuyahoga County. The Plain Dealer building ﬁnished

construction around 2000, built on the land of the paper’s previous home, and arrived at the tail end of a decade when the organization had some 350 employees. A 1998 PD article announcing the project’s design read, “The building represents a $38 million investment by the Plain Dealer along one of Cleveland’s major urban corridors.” The timing of that major investment wasn’t ideal. The newspaper industry began its slow but precipitous decline in the early 2000s as sales and revenue fell, thanks to the web. It would be less than 10 years before the Plain Dealer sought to lease 88,000 square feet of its home following staff reductions in business and editorial, with MCPc, a technology company, taking over the entire third floor in 2010. Since then, the paper leased additional space to the YMCA of Greater Cleveland and the Council for Economic Opportunities in Greater Cleveland as those staff reductions continue unabated (60 buyouts in 2006; 23 buyouts and 27 layoffs in 2008) and the organization split into the Plain Dealer proper (with about 110 staffers after 47 layoffs in 2013) and the digital operation Cleveland. com/Advance Ohio (nee Northeast Ohio Media Group). That seismic (union-busting, dumb, still confusing) bifurcation originally saw NEOMG reporters relocated to an office in the Flats, but they were shuffled back to 1801 in

2014 as PD staffers were booted to the Skylight Office in Tower City. After its $38 million investment (which included demolition of the old building), the Plain Dealer will collect just $19.5 million on the purchase agreement with the city. (As Michelle Jarboe noted yesterday, the county valued the building at $20 million, but the PD has a pending tax appeal to lower the value to $17.2 million for 2017. “It will be interesting to see what the developer, and the city, ultimately pay for the site,” she wrote.) Cleveland has budgeted $55 million for the purchase and renovation of the location, which was the only site among the finalists under consideration that didn’t require entirely new construction. GLP Superior Ltd., a company led by local developer Fred Geis, will technically buy the property and lead the renovations. The 8.1-acre site has 236,160 square feet of office space, 80,000 square feet of storage and 631 parking spots. “We’re glad that after a series of arms-length negotiations we’ve been able to reach agreement in principle on terms of the sale,” George Rodrigue, president of the PD, said in a statement. “The building has a proud history, and we hope it will serve the needs of the police department well.” “The new police headquarters in the downtown neighborhood is one | clevescene.com | June 13 - 19, 2018

UPFRONT of the many ways we are moving the division into the future,” Mayor Frank Jackson said in a press release. “We are systematically creating the necessary technological and logistical infrastructure to reduce crime while being more open and accessible to the community.” Cleveland.com and Advance Ohio will be getting a new home as well, heading to the Western Reserve Building in the Warehouse District, which, coincidentally, Scene previously called home for many years. Geis also owns that property, originally built for industrialist and philanthropist Samuel Mather in 1891 with an adjoining addition constructed in 1990. Purchased from the Ferchill Group last November, the building has suffered from lingering vacancies — Scene’s former offices have sat empty since we departed in 2014, and a two-floor office (which seems like a logical landing spot for Cleveland.com) has laid dormant since KA Architecture left in 2015. “The content and sales teams at Advance Ohio will move into what is becoming a vibrant corner of downtown, near the Flats East Bank. And our current building, which is beautiful but under-used, will see full occupancy, which will be healthy for the neighborhood.” There’s some sad poetry to all this ... to the Plain Dealer selling its building to the police department it once spent years investigating (to award-winning ends) and its “digitalfirst”-arm occupants downsizing to a building where Scene spent years holding check on the paper for its less illustrious work (and penning a not insignificant number of satirical Dick Feagler columns). Moving is never easy, and we wish thefolksatAO/Cleveland.com/NEOMG the very best. In that spirit: We’re pretty sure we forgot a half-full bottle of Jameson in an old desk. Feel free to help yourselves. — Grzegorek

Supreme Court Upholds Ohio’s Controversial ‘Use It or Lose It’ Voter Purge Law The Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision this week that Ohio did not previously violate federal laws by purging voters who don’t vote and fail to return notices conﬁrming their residency.Thecourt’sﬁveconservative justices voted in the majority, with the

court’s four liberals dissenting. According to the ruling, the practice, known as the “supplemental process,” does not violate the National Voter Registration Act, which barred states from removing the names of people from the voter rolls for failing to vote. Under the supplemental process, voters who have not voted in two years are ﬂagged and sent an address conﬁrmation notice. Voters who then fail to respond to the notice and fail to vote within the next two years are removed from the rolls. Citizens who had voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and then went to vote again in 2015 discovered they were no longer registered, and sued the state of Ohio. Traditionally a swing state in nationalelections,Ohiohasreportedly removed thousands of people who haven’t voted consistently and have not replied to warning notices.

Ohio was criticized by civil rights groups and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for having the strictest method of purging voters in the nation. Given the demographics of people who miss elections, this is a decision that likely will help Republicans and harm Democrats. According to USA Today, Republicans tend to beneﬁt from lower voter turnout and Democrats do best in high-turnout elections. That’s because minorities, young people and those with lower incomes are more likely to be disenfranchised by the state’s policy. Many view this decision as an act of voter suppression, an attempt to lower the numbers of registered Democrats in favor of Republican voters. According to a Reuters analysis, Ohio’s purge program disproportionately affects voters of color, particularly black voters. Georgia, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and West Virginia will also be impacted by this decision, as they use a failure to vote as a trigger to purge their registration rolls. — BJ Colangelo

Cleveland Public Schools Lost $39 Million to ECOT Since 2012, According to Report Public school districts in the state of Ohio lost more than a half billion dollars — $590 million, to be exact — to the controversial, problematic and now-closed Electronic Classroom of the Future online charter school since 2012. The Cleveland Metropolitan School District’s portion of that was $39 million. Those numbers come from Innovation Ohio, a progressive think-tank. ECOT received state dollars for each student it enrolled, with the money being pulled from the district in which the student lived. There were about 800 students enrolled from the CMSD area. The charter school fell under intense scrutiny last year after employees told the state that ECOT lied about how often students were using online classes and inﬂating enrollment numbers. Audits backed up those claims and it closed up shop earlier this year. Ohio says the defunct charter school owes the state $80 million, a judgment ECOT is ﬁghting. Only six of Ohio’s 613 school districts ended up losing money and students to the school, according to the policy group. CMSD’s annual budget is about $750 million. — Grzegorek

Feds Offer to Return $57,330 Seized From Legal Immigrant at Hopkins Airport. He Says They’re Short $770 Last week we shared the story of Rustem Kazazi, a retired Albanian police ofﬁcer and U.S. citizen living in Parma Heights who had over $58,000 seized at Hopkins airport by U.S. Customs agents without being charged with a crime. The money was seized through civil asset forfeiture, a widespread practice that allows law enforcement to take cash and property from people who

have not been convicted of or charged with a crime. Officers claimed the amount of cash Kazazi was carrying was “suspicious.” Kazazi filed suit, which drew national headlines. The government, it seems, is eager to make this go away. As first reported by Cleveland. com, minutes from a hearing with U.S. District Judge Dan Polster and the two sides showed that Customs was “beginning the process of tendering a check to Petitioner Kazazi in the amount of $57,330 plus interest.” But that’s not how much they

took, Kazazi maintains. They’re short $770, and so he indicated that he will wait for his trial — currently scheduled for Dec. 10, 2018 — to seek the total sum. Judge Polster would very much like to have this settled long before that, though. He’s asked the government to produce records on the inventory of the money by this week and, if a discrepancy persists afterward, has ordered an in-person conference with both sides on July 9. — Colangelo

FEATURE AFFIRMATION SEASON LGBTQ youth are at increased risk of negative outcomes in the foster care system. Cuyahoga County is on the front lines of ﬁnding a solution. By BJ Colangelo Photo by Yoshi Andregolo, Split Creative

SONIA EMERSON WAS ONLY 2 years old when she entered the Cuyahoga County foster care system because her biological parents were no longer able to care for her. She spent the next seven years growing up in the system before joining the ranks of the lucky ones, as far as foster care is concerned, when she was adopted at the age of 9. That stability, along with the promise of a safe and nurturing environment, was short lived, as Sonia was physically and sexually abused by her adoptive parents. According to the Youth Today organization, Sonia is not alone: Foster children are 10 times more likely to experience sexual abuse than biological children. At the age of 12, she entered the foster system again, landing in the home of a religious Shaker Heights family. That stay, too, was brief. And awful, in a way she hadn’t experienced so far in her travels, a way that presented injury and an array of new obstacles in a life filled with too many already. “I had discussed with my respite foster mom that I was a lesbian and she was not comfortable with that,” Emerson says. “She told me I needed to pray about it, but that’s not exactly something I can just pray away.” After coming out, she was rejected by her foster parent, sending her careening into an even more unstable future that included 20 more foster families, five group homes, temporary homelessness, a suicide attempt, sex work, and untold mental and emotional anguish, all before her 18th birthday. Three to five percent of all youth identify as LGBTQ, according to estimates. That number is far higher -- 19 percent — for youth in child welfare. The disparity exists for many reasons, including biological parents doing exactly what Emerson’s respite parents did: rejecting their children once they begin to explore and express their SOGIE (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Gender Expression). According to the National Quality Improvement Center on Tailored Services, Placement Stability, and

Sonia Emerson stands before the Ohio City LGBT historical marker.

Permanency for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, and Two-Spirit Children and Youth In Foster Care (QIC-LGBTQ2S), 13 percent of youth in child welfare identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual; 5.5 percent identify as transgender; and 11.1 percent identify as gender non-binary or gender nonconforming. Children and youth with diverse SOGIE are at a greater risk for physical and emotional abuse, drug use, suicide attempts, mental health concerns, homelessness, interpersonal and/or community violence, bullying, harassment, academic challenges, increased school sanctions and various other forms of discrimination and hardship as compared to their heterosexual peers. Those problems are accentuated

for kids in the foster care system, who also face a wide range of additional negative outcomes: They are far less likely to reunify with their biological families once put into the system, have a higher probability of winding up in group homes, and are more likely to age out of the foster care environment without any support system awaiting them on the other side. It’s a nationwide issue whose solution might be formulated locally. Last June, the Cuyahoga County Department of Child and Family Services (CCDCFS) was chosen for a four-year grant from the National Quality Improvement Center at the University of Maryland School of Social Work to develop programs, standards and practices that will improve the lives of LGBTQ youth in the foster care system,

working in tandem with the QIC. Cuyahoga County is one of four sites participating in the grant’s research, alongside Prince George’s County in Maryland, Allegheny County in Pennsylvania and the state of Michigan. Research conducted at DCFS will be presented to the QIC in order to identify programs and interventions that address the unique needs of children with diverse SOGIE in foster care. And Emerson, with all her ﬁrsthand experiences, is part of the team. The research is a multi-pronged effort including agencies and organizations that touch every aspect of kids’ lives. Led by Kathleen Sullivan, senior manager at CCDCFS, Cuyahoga County’s team has enlisted the LGBT Center of Greater Cleveland, the Waiting Child Fund | clevescene.com | June 13 - 19, 2018

SEE OUR AD ON THE BACK COVER

FEATURE (now Kinnect), Kinnect (a nonproďŹ t dedicated to helping place children in foster care with permanent families), A Place 4 Me (an initiative of over 30 partners to prevent and end homelessness among young adults age 15 to 24 in Cleveland/Cuyahoga County), and the Mandell School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University. â€œSoniaâ€™s story is not just her story,â€? said CWRUâ€™s Dr. Dana Prince, a health disparities researcher. â€œIt mirrors what we see in our research.â€? There are currently more than 2,300 children in the Cuyahoga County foster care system, a staggering number thatâ€™s jumped from 1,600 in 2013 thanks largely to the opioid crisis. â€œSome of our kids come into care because of their gender identity or sexual orientation, but many of them come in for other reasons like neglect, abuse, poverty or mental issues just like any of our other kids. But then sometimes, weâ€™ll ďŹ nd out that the subcontext was their SOGIE,â€? Sullivan says. â€œBy virtue, just coming into care is traumatic. But for LGBTQ kids, having the added stigma poses an even greater risk. We canâ€™t be sure on the numbers, but there are likely more than 400 kids in our care who fall somewhere on the LGBTQ2S spectrum. Thatâ€™s a lot of kids.â€? Research done by Caitlin Ryan and the Family Acceptance Project has shown that children develop a sense of gender identity (a sense of being male, female, or neither) and begin expressing it around the age of 2 or 3; that children discover their attraction to the same or opposite gender between the ages of 7 and 9; and that they determine their sexual orientation, on average, at the age of 13 and a half. â€œWhat we know about LGBTQ youth in foster care is that they experiencemoreplacementinstability when theyâ€™re in care,â€? said Dr. Prince. â€œBut it all begins with that seed of discovering sexuality and gender identity, but not having any space to express that within a caring relationship.â€? Because the children in foster care are minors, itâ€™s difďŹ cult to determine the best and safest way to inquire about a childâ€™s SOGIE during what is already a difďŹ cult and traumatic experience. In fact, Prince adds, â€œRight now in Cuyahoga, thereâ€™s no policy for when, where, and how you ask a young

person about their sexual orientation or gender. It doesnâ€™t exist.â€? The unfortunate reality is that not all parents are going to be accepting or afďŹ rming of a child with a diverse SOGIE, and there is a policy for collecting that information. When applying to be a foster parent,prospectivecandidatesanswer a range of questions like, â€œWhat was your childhood like?â€? â€œWhat education do you have?â€? â€œWhatâ€™s your parenting style?â€? â€œHow do you and your partner support one another?â€? â€œWhat activities does your family do together?â€? and â€œHow do you deal with family issues?â€? Whether or not theyâ€™re comfortable with an LGBTQ child is another one of the questions, and a sizable portion of the respondents answer â€œno.â€? It restricts an already limited pool of possible homes for LGBTQ kids, especially given the low placement rates for older children. Or, if they havenâ€™t yet come out, the limited number of options put them in the position of shielding their identity from foster parents who might be explicitly or implicitly intolerant of LGBTQ people. â€œWhen theyâ€™re in our custody, it becomes even more difďŹ cult for them to come out,â€? Sullivan said. â€œWeâ€™ve got a percentage of kids who walk in saying, â€˜Iâ€™m here, Iâ€™m queer, deal with it,â€™ but the majority donâ€™t, because theyâ€™re in a foster home with people they donâ€™t know, and some foster parents can be intolerant.â€? They also face the prospect of being outed by the system before theyâ€™re ready. â€œA lot of the problem was that my social worker would out me before I was comfortable being outed,â€? Sonia Emerson says about her experience. â€œThey didnâ€™t realize the impact it would have on me, or the home, or how it would isolate me just because of my sexual orientation.â€? As part of the grantâ€™s efforts, Kori Sewell with DCFS is leading the charge on discovering the safest and most conďŹ dential methods to identify the SOGIE of a child in foster care. The agency is creating a disclosure form so social workers can talk to the youth and inform them of the services available to them if they are willing to disclose their SOGIE to resources other than their social worker. The disclosure form will contain a ďŹ‚owchart identifying where any shared information will go, and with whom it will be shared, in order to provide the child an afďŹ rming home or to educate their current home on how to become afďŹ rming. Cuyahoga County is trying to address the latter in a couple of ways.

FEATURE One is the PRIDE Caregiver Network. “It will be a network of foster parents and caregivers who receive extra training, training from the national level that we are given access to, to teach them how to be affirming in their home with LGBTQ youth,” Sullivan says. The PRIDE Caregiver Network will also provide support groups for parents with LGBTQ youth to develop a system of care for affirming families to connect and serve as resources for each other. “Parents are often rejecting behaviors that come from misinformation, crisis, ignorance, fear,” said Shannon Deinhart, cofounder and associate director of Kinnect, an independent nonprofit that works with DCFS, but does not receive federal funding. “But sitting down with people and informing families of the dangers of rejecting — like homelessness, trafficking, higher rates of suicide — and offering the educational process can often move them from rejecting to accepting.” While it’s important for children to have an accepting household, it’s

more important for LGBTQ children to live in an affirming household. An affirming household is one that provides equality and positive welcome, while acceptance can be closely related to tolerance. And there is a difference. The Chosen-Affirming Family program does its best to try and assist with these misconceptions. “If we have a kid in care who still has a chance at being reunified, we’ll work with the family of origin through the Youth Accepting Program and educate them to try to help them understand what their youth is all about.” Sullivan says. In either case, the end goal is stability, the lack of which, research has shown, is the direct cause of the litany of poor outcomes. “The need for improved permanency services for LGBTQ youth in foster care has never been greater,” says Mike Kenney, the executive director of Kinnect. Nearly one-third of LGBTQ youth never finish high school, according to a study by the Jacksonville Area Sexual Minority Youth Network. The National Foster Youth Institute reveals that children in the foster care system are three times more likely to leave the program without a high-school diploma.

Forty-six percent of homeless LGBT youth report running away from home due to family rejection of their sexual orientation and 17 percent ended up on the streets after they aged out of the foster care system, according to the Human Trafﬁcking Search. LGBTQ youth are 120 percent more likely to experience homelessness than their heterosexual peers, according to the True Colors Fund. Approximately 1,000 children age out of the foster care system statewide every year, and are left with no support or connections once they’re forced to live on their own, according to Ohio Fostering Connections. Nearly forty percent of former foster youth will experience homelessness or housing instability before they’re 24. While the numbers specifying LGBTQ foster youth are unavailable, experts believe they’re likely higher. Sonia Emerson is intimately acquainted with those stats, because she’s lived through every single one. When she was 16 years old, living with a family that locked her in a closet to try and “‘pray away the gay,” she tried to commit suicide. Fearing that she’d be placed back in the system, she made every attempt

to make everything appear okay. But not because she wanted to stay where she was. “The police were called but I acted ‘normal,’’’ Emerson says. “After they left, I packed my things and ran away and ended up living on the streets for a few months. I refused to turn myself in, which lead to some risky behaviors.” Living on the streets, at that moment, was a better option than her foster home, and it all came back to the lack of an accepting or affirming household. “Being in that environment was a risk I was willing to take because I was so tired of not being given the space to be myself and identify as who I am,” she said. A threatening experience with a pimp at the age of 18 finally drove Emerson to make a change. One overworked social worker, one temporary shelter, and some luck later, she finalized paperwork for subsidized placement housing. She began searching for volunteer opportunities, eventually discovering Fill This House, an organization that assists children who have aged out of the system in finding their first apartment. While working there, she attended a women’s conference where she was introduced to A Place

THE LGBT COMMUNITY CENTER OF GREATER CLEVELAND offers advocacy, support, education, and celebration in addition to a slew of support groups and interest organizations for LGBTQ community members. The Center is at 6600 Detroit Avenue. THE DIVISION OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES offers a web-based service program called Just In Time Training, designed to connect foster parents, kinship or other caregivers with training, peer experts and other resources, through www.qpicuyahoga.org. MEDINA-BASED â€œOUT SUPPORTâ€? is a support group that promotes the health and well being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, nonconforming, ďŹ‚uid, and non-binary individuals, as well as their family and friends, through support, education and advocacy. Meetings are held monthly at Unity of Medina, 787 Lafayette Rd., Building D.

ART LINGERING MYSTERIES Marilyn Szalay and Judy Takács reveal Secrets at the Artists Archives of the Western Reserve By Dott von Schneider TWO TITANS OF FIGURATIVE art in Cleveland, the late Marilyn “Lynn” Szalay and Judy Takács, present allegory and iconography in Secrets, now showing at the Artists Archives of the Western Reserve. If there be any doubt that these two artists are masters, this exhibition will ﬂay your dead-white-dude mentality with oil paints on canvas, a gum eraser, conte crayon and charcoal on large format, archival paper. “The art in this show is full of secrets,” says Takács. “In Lynn’s case, the true meanings and symbolism and stories went to the grave with her …some of the pieces remain untitled, so there are only visual hints as to what was intended by the artist. In my case, the secrets that are mysteries when you look at the art are often exposed on my blog.” “Titkos Testver (Secret Sister)” is one such artwork. In this stately allegorical painting riddled with pink and red tones, a woman clutches a book and a white pearl rosary. The facial expression is peaceful and direct with her slight smile and squared jaw. She wears a crocheted shawl trimmed in white over her peasant blouse, a pair of mittens and a coin purse hang about in the background by string or yarn, as does a piece of paper that we assume is inscribed with her name. Draped over her shoulder is a gypsy-like satchel. This is Takács’ imagined painting of her aunt, who was mysteriously sent away at a young age and died. There was no death certiﬁcate. “In Early Spring (Portrait of Diane)” is a drawing, we assume, of Szalay’s sister, Diane White-Tira. Created with graphite, conte crayon and chalk pastel on paper, its large format is imposing and serene at once. Diane is seated on a swing, the sunlight casting distinct shadows on to her face similar to the oxidized “tears” running down the cheeks of the famous Haserot Angel sculpture at Lakeview Cemetery. The statue

itself is depicted in “Guardian Angel,” a couple of drawings to the left. The love of Diane in “In Early Spring” is evident. The symbolism here of sister/guardian cannot be denied. As we walk through Secrets, we are moved by human emotion in all of the artworks that surround us in this intimate gallery space. The format is large, up to 40-by-78inches, as is the case with Szalay‘s triptych, “Rite of Passage,” which shows a young girl in her first communion outfit. In the exhibition catalog, the late Szalay explains, “My images are about girl changing to woman. I work primarily with adolescents because they reflect this transition and turbulence. I often use the disjointed juxtaposition of imagery to physically interpret this emotional conflict. Dual imagery also recalls the element of time which is rudimentary to this concept. A girl’s dreams are synthesis of universal intuition coupled with society’s codes and models … .” Takács, whose backgrounds are primarily red hues in this exhibition, surprises us as we turn the corner and face a brilliant blue that houses “Venus, She’s Got It,” featuring an African-American woman in the role of the planet and the goddess Venus, holding

“Mary Jane and Friends II,” by Marilyn Szalay

Midwestern lives … and the balls are literal as well as metaphorical,” the artist states. The real soul of Secrets is told, we feel, through two speciﬁc artworks: Takács’ “The Final Chapter” and “Mary Jane and Friends II” by Szalay. “The Final Chapter” generously presents to us an elder woman engrossed in a tome of angel’s wings. Texts on various types of paper or tape with handwritten quotes are collaged into the painting. The woman sports a black lace blouse, so carefully carved with the palette knife that we question our ability to recognize

the light over Earth as she looks to her left with otherworldly concern. Her braids ﬂoat around her in outer-space weightlessness. It is a stunning painting that stands out from the rest of the work. Takács has also included paintings from her popular and well-documented “Chicks with Balls” series. “They are truly the unsung heroines of their ordinary

delicate lace from three feet away. This is the last portrait that the artist painted of her mother, Dalma Takács, Ph.D., a former English professor at Notre Dame College of Ohio, a few weeks before she passed away. “She posed for me while reading peacefully, dozing and reading as I painted. As she sat there, knowing that she was not long for this earth, I saw the

pages of the book as angel’s wings to transport her to the wonderful worlds of literature and learning she truly believed would be waiting for her on the other side,” Szalay wrote. The artist collaged her mother’s handwritten English literature notes about “life, death, religion, customs, history and monsters; real and imagined.” Szalay did not hold back subtlety in the drawing, “Mary Jane and Friends II.” A young girl, Mary Jane we presume, stares right at us with huge dark eyes. She carries a doll on her shoulders, propping it up with her right hand. In her left hand she holds a damaged doll’s head; its eyes looking to the left in what appears to be worry. The line and smudges Szalay employed are dreamlike, where we can‘t tell what is happening in the background, almost like a photograph or a ﬁlm still. Mary Jane’s wispy hair is parted in the middle and brushed behind one ear. The shadow and light play only add to the mystery of the drawing and that of the young girl. What is going on with her? We will never really know. That’s the Secret.

STAGE THE GIRLY BOY FROM BERLIN IS BACK But the intensity is sometimes lacking in Hedwig and the Angry Inch at Blank Canvas Theatre By Christine Howey IT’S TOO BAD THAT HUMANS didn’t really evolve as they were imagined in one of the Greek myths. According to that yarn, humans were originally endowed with four arms, four legs and two faces. If the Cavs had started five such players, averaging over 6-foot8 in height, they might have had a chance against the Golden State Warriors. But no, the primo god Zeus messed up that plan when, after observing those multi-limbed creatures and being very afraid of their power, he split them in two. Thus were created the two-armed, bipedal, single-faced humans we have today: people who feel fragile, lonely and sense they are missing a vital part of themselves. In the 20-year-old Hedwig and the Angry Inch now at Blank Canvas Theatre, John Cameron Mitchell (text) and Stephen Trask (music and lyrics) take that idea and turn out perhaps the best premise-setting song in any musical ever. “Origin of Love” recounts that Greek myth, as referred to in Aristophanes’ speech in “Plato’s Symposium.” And it serves to introduce this rock musical about a “slip of a girly boy” who doesn’t feel whole and is looking for his other half — as we all have been, ever since we were cleaved apart. That search results in Hedwig’s botched sex change surgery (now referred to politely and more accurately as a “gender confirmation” surgery), and the play is off and running. Well, trotting, in this case. While Devon Turchan, who plays Hedwig, is supremely talented, and director Alison Garrigan is a master of staging various kinds of theatricals, this production never finds its groove. And that’s a damn shame, since Hedwig still has things to say about gender identity and identity in general. The conceit of the show is that we’re watching a performance of the gender-fucked Hedwig, who was born Hansel in East Berlin. As a young man, he meets and falls for American soldier Luther Robinson, who convinces Hansel to dress in drag and eventually submit to the

surgery so they can be married and move to the States. Thus, as Hedwig relates between songs in his set, Luther leaves him alone in a trailer park in Kansas. And Hedwig goes on a campaign of creation. First, she turns herself into a rock singer backed up by her four-piece band, the Angry Inch, named after her closedup Barbie doll crotch. She also creates another entity, turning the shy, Christian, guitar-strumming teen Tommy Speck into the egomaniacal rock star Tommy Gnosis. Hedwig is certain that Tommy is her other half, but Tommy isn’t interested as his career soars. So

production handles the musical end of its duties well enough. The band under the direction of keyboardist Bradley Wyner is suitably loud and on point. And Turchan works hard to make the songs sizzle, especially on “Sugar Daddy,” his ode to Luther, and when he relates the details of his doomed surgical procedure in “Angry Inch.” Some of the more mellow songs (“Wig in a Box,” “Wicked Little Town”) fare less well, as Turchan has a tendency to lose the Hedwig edge and go a little Debby Boone, getting all weepy-eyed and soft. As for the spoken word sections

HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH THROUGH JUNE 23 AT BLANK CANVAS THEATRE, WEST 78TH STREET STUDIOS, 1300 WEST 78TH ST., 440-941-0458. BLANKCANVASTHEATRE.COM

Hedwig is forced to follow along Tommy’s tour — picking up tiny gigs within earshot of the stadiums where Tommy is massaging his massive ego — waiting for her super-famous masterpiece to give her some credit. There is plenty of wicked humor and kick-ass rock music in this script and score, and the BCT

that separate the songs, they are often slowly paced and lacking in intensity. This is particularly odd, since Turchan can be a compelling performer and Garrigan knows her way around this show, since she has acted in it and directed it elsewhere. We should be watching a tormented person bare her soul

on the little stage, and gradually deconstruct herself in the process. Instead, the songs are performed and then Turchan takes a break, sauntering over to a side table now and then to meander listlessly through the monologue sections. This drains the intensity and momentum from the piece — and those are the very qualities that should make Hedwig take flight. The situation isn’t aided much by Claire Twigg, who plays the virtually mute Yitzak, Hedwig’s second husband. It’s a tough role, since Hedwig is constantly putting Yitzak in his place, physically and otherwise. But when Hedwig finally gives him a chance to recover his identity as a drag queen, the moment of revelation and triumph is muffled. Theatrical productions, even loud and bombastic ones such as Hedwig, are delicate creatures. And sometimes, even wonderfully talented parts don’t come together as they should. One hopes that this version of Hedwig finds its other half during the run and delivers the intense experience it should.

MOVIES MUSIC TO OUR EARS Good songs keep Hearts Beat Loud strumming along By BJ Colangelo IT’S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO dislike Nick Offerman, but his dry wit and no-nonsense Ron Swanson persona that worked so well on Parks and Recreation feels out of tune with the rest of the new indie ﬂick Hearts Beat Loud. Luckily, stunning performances from Kiersey Clemons and Toni Collette are the melody that keeps the delightfully pessimistic dramedy strumming along. Offerman plays Frank Fisher, a failing record-store owner suffering through a hipster midlife crisis during his daughter’s last summer before college. The original songs are painfully cute, but for a ﬁlm that has all the elements to be the next smash indie comedy, Hearts Beat Loud is uncharacteristically sad. And people are going to love it. The movie was a hit at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and did well in limited release last week. It opens on Friday at the Cedar Lee Theatre. On the surface, this story has all of the charm of every inverted Freaky Friday festival darling. Frank’s daughter Sam (Clemons)

desperately tries to help her dad act like an adult while Frank tries to relive his glory days vicariously through his daughter when their original song goes viral. They have similar interests, like thrifted graphic T-shirts, but ultimately, Frank is the juvenile in this father/ daughter relationship. Blythe Danner has a secondary role as Frank’s shoplifting mother. She offers some genuine delight but also a lingering sense of impending sorrow at the hands of aging. The brilliant Collette (go see Hereditary, seriously) plays the landlord/love interest to Frank, but her character’s development feels incomplete. Collette delivers an endearing performance but ultimately feels a little pedestrian compared to the rest of the tweehipster cast. Ted Danson has a nice Cheers inspired bartender role but delivers with a little too much optimism for a character who feels like he’s wearing a hardened shell. However, Sam’s love interest, Rose (Sasha Lane), ﬁts exactly into the world that writer-director Brett Haley has created. Their summer

ﬂing is given the least amount of screen time, but every moment feels sincere, and the chemistry is palatable. Hearts Beat Loud consistently plays as a rhythm, but never quite takes the lead. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The stakes never feel very high, but the feelgood sensibility is quickly washed away when you realize Offerman is about to be left very, very alone when his daughter ﬁnally leaves for college.

The ﬁlm’s saving grace comes from the original songs by Keegan DeWitt. Clemons’ voice is absolutely stunning, and the joy expressed by the father/daughter duo is impossible not to love. The musical performances are so masterful, it makes you forget the very real troubles of Frank’s life — because, in the end, we’re all more like Frank than we’d ever admit.

SPOTLIGHT: THE SEAGULL AMIDST BIG-BUDGET SUMMER blockbusters like superhero sequels and a Star Wars prequel comes The Seagull, a modest period piece based on an Anton Chekov play. Don’t expect this movie to set any box ofﬁce records. Likely to get lost in the summer release shufﬂe, the incredibly esoteric but well-acted movie opens on Friday at the Cedar Lee Theatre. The movie centers on actress Irina Arkadina (Annette Bening) and her teenage son Konstantin (Billy Howle). The kid aspires to follow in his mother’s footsteps but has even loftier ambitions. He criticizes her for acting in insipid comedies and valuing popularity over artistic integrity. This makes their relationship remarkably

tense, and the two constantly argue as they spend the summer together at a rural family estate. When Konstantin directs one of his own plays, and Irina provides color commentary that undercuts it, he takes offense and storms off. She doesn’t understand why he’s so thin-skinned and tries to make up but to no avail. It doesn’t help that Irina has hooked up with Boris Trigorin (Corey Stoll), a successful writer who also caters to popular taste. Konstantin regularly clashes with him too. Things spiral even further out of control after Boris develops feelings for Konstantin’s girlfriend Nina (Saoirse Ronan). Nina is clearly starstruck by Boris and

tells him as much. He initially dismisses her, telling her that she’s naïve and doesn’t understand the creative process or appreciate the way that being an author can be both a blessing and a curse. Boris, in fact, regularly takes notes about Irina’s family members with the hopes that he’ll be able to somehow include them in his next work of fiction. Still, he’s flattered that someone as young and beautiful as Nina would find him attractive, and he takes advantage of her desire to impress him. The love triangle here becomes even more complicated as Masha (Elisabeth Moss) struggles to hide her feelings for Konstantin, who clearly doesn’t feel the same way about her. Moss appropriately plays

Masha, who wears black, drinks too much and regularly bursts into tears, as a tragically comic character. As much as the movie’s dialogue often feels stilted (that’s simply a by product of being based on a play), the sensibilities here are so modern and feel so familiar (jealousy, unrequited love and betrayal are major themes) that they inspire a newfound appreciation of the play. While this movie isn’t likely to stay in theaters too long this summer, its arrival is still quite an achievement given the number of times this play has been adapted. — Jeff Niesel

EAT TOP OF THE CLASS CWRU students helped owner Matt Vann transform the Jolly Scholar from a campus bar to a fully functioning brewery with broad appeal By Douglas Trattner “WE’RE HIDDEN PRETTY GOOD,” says Matt Vann, owner of the Jolly Scholar. “I always say that we’re the hardest brewery in Cleveland to find.” Jolly Scholar’s location, tucked into a building on the campus of Case Western Reserve University, is just one of the challenges Vann faces that his competition does not. Despite being a captive audience, many students don’t even reach legal drinking age until halfway through their undergraduate studies. Those who are old enough to drink disappear for nearly three months each summer. And then there’s the staff, which experiences significant turnover with each new scholastic calendar. None of that is news to Vann, of course, who replaced a generic food service provider in this space 13 years ago to open Jolly Scholar. He started out in 2005 with four beer taps, two of which were devoted to macro suds. Responding to the rise of craft beer, the owner later upped the number of tap handles to 24. Hard alcohol also found a home on campus at Jolly Scholar, which seems to fly in the face of the whole helicopter parent era. “The agreement is that we want to be the responsible enabler,” says Vann, asserting a better-here-thanthere mentality. “Nobody is going to care about these students the way we are going to care about them.” Vann’s conscientious handling of his unique situation is precisely why, when approached a few years back with the crazy idea of bringing a brewery onto campus, university leaders didn’t slam the door in his face. In fact, they even chipped in for brewing equipment and offered up a vacant space that, as luck would have it, sat just beneath the barroom floor. “Nobody on campus wanted this space, and it just so happened to be perfectly underneath us, so everything kind of aligned,” says Vann, showing off his subterranean brewhouse. Vann is a seasoned home brewer, but as owner, manager and chief bottle washer of Jolly Scholar, he

wisely brought on Aaron Wirtz as head brewer. From his seven-barrel brewhouse, Wirtz is turning out an impressive roster of clean beers that run the gamut from traditional to experimental. The Jolly Pilsner is a refreshing straw-colored lager with a pleasant malty sweetness. Henry’s Law, a nod to Wirtz’s chemistry background, is an exceptional white IPA that blends fruitiness with woodsy pine in a creamy package. Designed to be a house-brewed alternative to macro brands like Bud and Coors, Cold Beer Here is a cold, crisp, pale, easy-drinking beverage

beer over the competition 85 percent of the time. “What we’re trying to sell is basically affordable luxury, where students can drink as well as their parents, but at college rates,” Vann says. Those same students contribute to the operation in ways that go well beyond the simple consumption of inventory; they touch nearly every aspect of the venture, says Vann. “Our concept is built largely around our students,” he explains. “We have masters of accounting students keeping the books and

with almost zero hoppy bitterness. “These kids are very sophisticated compared to when we went to college, but they’re still college students, so you have to be able to offer entry-level beers that taste really good,” says brewer Erik Miller. Except for a handful of guest beers and ciders, all house drafts come in at a more-than-reasonable $3.99 per serving, well below market rates. And the students, staff and neighborhood are responding, choosing Jolly Scholar

running distribution, we’ve got Weatherhead [School of Management] students helping to facilitate marketing strategies, we’ve got CIA students that help us with packaging ideas, and we’ve got chem students helping to propagate yeast.” Not to mention those serving, busing, bartending and managing the restaurant. This year, the university offered its ﬁrst accredited brewing class, a chemistry and fermentation course that welcomed guest brewers

such as Matt Cole from Fat Head’s and Andy Tveekrem from Market Garden. Vann hopes the course will expand into a fully degreed brewing science program. Though they’ve only been brewing for one quiet year, Jolly Scholar already has embarked on an expansion that will more than double capacity to about 5,000 kegs per year. It isn’t just onsite consumption that continues to grow, but also demand from the community at large. “People in the industry really like our liquid and they’ve been really receptive,” Vann says, citing a tight local distribution network. “I’m not interested in taking over the grocery store shelves; whatever extra beer we do have, I want it to go to craft beer houses around the city.” Vann already considers himself a success, and not for reasons that have anything to do with assets, liquid or otherwise. As a former producer at EA Sports video games, he clocked 80-hour weeks for seven years. Now he’s in the ﬁzzy craft beer business for himself. “You’ve got one shot at this whole thing, you might as well enjoy what the hell you’re doing,” he says, cold beer in hand.

ICONIC FLANNERY’S IRISH PUB SOLD TO NEW LOCAL OWNERS By Douglas Trattner SINCE 1997, LONG BEFORE EAST Fourth Street was a bustling entertainment district, Flannery’s Irish Pub (323 Prospect Ave., 216-7817782) has been providing good cheer in the form of beer, spirits and food to large and consistent crowds. It is a staple destination on St. Patrick’s Day and is stop No. 1 for many bound for a Cavs or Indians game. This week, the legendary Cleveland pub changed hands from MRN Ltd., the principal developer of East Fourth, to Doug Petkovic, a partner in Michael Symon Restaurants. “The opportunity presented itself to acquire Flannery’s and I decided to take advantage of it,” says Petkovic, adding that this is not a Symon venture. “We looked at the opportunity as a group, as we always do, but decided that the project didn’t ﬁt with what we have going on right now. We’re very focused on two new restaurants in Vegas and the Lolita property.” Petkovic, along with partners Jeff Schmittgen and John Gaydosh, said there was much to love about the bar and restaurant, and that he was fortunate to become its next steward. “This is an iconic property and location, and they have done a great job over the past 20-something years of building the brand of Flannery’s,” he notes. “It’s difﬁcult enough to create something new and build a brand — all I hope to do is build upon that and improve it.” The 8,000-square-foot, 150-seat bar sits at the corner of East Fourth Street and Prospect, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Lola, Mabel’s BBQ, Chinato, Red, House of Blues and Hilarities. Petkovic, who took possession this week, said that fans of the property should expect no major changes in name, concept or even staff, but they should look forward to numerous physical improvements. “We are working with management to form a plan as to how we’ll go about the changes,” he says. “They may come in stages or over time, but we don’t foresee a large shutdown for an extended period of time. But we are going to sink a considerable amount of money into the property. It’s tired; it

needs some love.” If your favorite server, bartender or manager happens to work at Flannery’s, you should expect to continue seeing their smiling faces in the future, adds Petkovic. “The cornerstone of that property are the employees, who are awesome,” he says. “One of the most difficult things in the hospitality industry right now is labor, finding good help — even finding any help. Flannery’s has some employees who have been there for 20 years.”

Arcadian Space in Gordon Square Has Been Claimed by Blue Habanero Mexican Finally, a new owner has claimed the former Arcadian space in Gordon Square and a new tenant has been named. That move will revive the contemporary showpiece that closed a year and a half ago, after just four months of operations. For 15 years, Rafael Ayala has operated Tres Potrillos in the Akron area. He later added locations in Medina and Beachwood. But Ayala is quick to point out that Blue Habanero Street Tacos and Tequila will not be a simple reproduction of those popular Mexican eateries. “This will not be your typical Mexican restaurant that you ﬁnd everywhere,” he explains. “This is a totally new concept that we have been working on with our chef.” While he was hesitant to describe the menu in detail as it’s still very much a work in progress, Ayala did say that the food would taste fresh, modern and different. He stated a desire to move away from staples like enchiladas, burritos and fajitas, which he described as “good but a little bit of the past.” The new tenant estimates that he’ll be open and serving tacos and tequila by early August, following the transfer of the liquor license.

MUSIC AN OLD-FASHIONED APPROACH Gin Blossoms’ past influenced its new studio effort By Matt Wardlaw NOW MORE THAN 25 YEARS removed from the release of New Miserable Experience, the major label debut from Gin Blossoms, the title feels especially appropriate, knowing now what the jangly ’90s alt-rock group went through to birth the album and bring it out to the masses. The band spent the bulk of the past year playing the record in full, and at a concert earlier this year, frontman Robin Wilson explained to the crowd what a complicated ride it had been. “It was a very difficult record to make. We were very young, and we didn’t know what we were doing and we almost broke up in the middle of it,” he said then. “We had at the time, Doug Hopkins, our original guitar player, who we miss so terribly. So many of these great, great songs were written by Doug, and we miss him very much.” After taking an initial stab at recording the album in Los Angeles, the band abandoned those sessions, returning to their home base of Tempe, Arizona, to regroup and record some material on their own. A selection of songs from that period was released on the Up and Crumbling EP, the title of which was a not-so-subtle nod to their initial struggles. Eventually resuming work on their planned full-length, the group found a good collaborative partnership with producer John Hampton, who “helped keep the band together,” according to Wilson. He added that “the band was kind of fucked up at the time, and we didn’t know if the record would ever come out.” New Miserable Experience was finally released on Aug. 4, 1992, and its title was no accident. “I don’t remember exactly. It was either Doug or Bill [Leen] or the two of them in conversation who came up with the title,” Wilson says during a recent phone conversation. “It was just sort of typical of our sense of humor and cynicism at the time. New Miserable Experience, you know, it’s sort of nonsense. It doesn’t necessarily mean anything. But it did sort of capture the moment — it sort of speaks to the time in which it was recorded.” When the album came out, the success that was hoped for proved

elusive. The band continued to tour extensively, working to build a fanbase. “We had been on the road for about eight months when the single [‘Hey Jealousy’] ﬁnally took off. I remember one of the record company vice presidents calling me and he said, ‘Hey dude, your record is about to become a hit,’” Wilson remembers. “The vice president at MTV had apparently said to our label, ‘Make a new video, and we will break this band.’ We had already been on the road for eight months and all of a sudden, when you have a hit, things get even busier. We’re doing more magazine shoots and more press, and then, you’re doing The Tonight Show and Letterman. It was just a blur of activity.” The band eventually detonated a total of ﬁve radio hits from the album in 1993 and 1994, with “Hey Jealousy” and “Found Out About You” landing in the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100.

Hopkins has writing credits on half of the album’s songs, which has been a point of critical discussion over the years. But on the whole, what stands out now about the album is how solid it is, from top to bottom, arguably void of any ﬁller tracks. The group is preparing to release Mixed Reality, its new studio album, on Friday. The record, recorded and produced by Don Dixon and Mitch Easter, known for their work with R.E.M., brings things full circle for the group, which will spend this summer on the road with Tonic and Vertical Horizon, playing a mix of new songs and fan favorites. The tour lands at Hard Rock Live at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. “I was thrilled to ﬁnd out that we were going to be recording with Don Dixon and Mitch Easter at [Easter’s] studio in North Carolina. We were all really inspired. We spent about a year writing songs and doing demos,” Wilson says. “With Don and Mitch

But the victories were bittersweet as the band had parted ways with Hopkins, its guitar player and one of the principal songwriters, shortly before the album was completed.

in my head, I felt really connected to my 20-year-old self. I think in a lot of ways, Mixed Reality is sort of a companion to New Miserable Experience. It feels to me like a record

we would have wanted to make when we were all 25.” Dixon says the band took “a very old-school straight-up approach and recorded on tape.” “You know, [we did all] the things that people make a big deal out of and it shouldn’t be a big fucking deal,” Dixon says with a laugh in a separate interview. “On this record, I was more of the producer, and I ended up mixing the record. Mitch just really helped record it and played some cool stuff on it. I played some keyboards, and a little trombone, and I probably did a rhythm guitar somewhere. I did some arrangements with the Chamberlin, which is sort of the grandfather of the original Mellotron. It was fun. They were great and they worked hard. Peter Holsapple plays organ on a couple of songs. Scott [Hessel], the drummer who has been with them for a while, is really good. He’s a great secret weapon — he helped us make the record quickly. It’s very ’90s sounding, in a good way.” Listening to Mixed Reality, one quickly understands what he means. On songs like “Angels Fly” and “Break,” the classic blend of Gin Blossoms’ harmonies comes ﬂowing out of the speakers; it’s a welcome transport back to the decade, while still feeling very rooted in the present. “Face the Dark,” is a song that Wilson says began with one thing in mind, but evolved over time. “I thought I was writing a song about the end of my marriage. But by the time I got done with it, I felt like I was writing a song for Doug Hopkins. That’s how I see it now,” he says. “It’s really something I kind of wrote for Doug. I wanted it to feel like something that we would have wanted to play together, and I wanted it to feel like the spiritual successor to an R.E.M. record. It came out really nice.” Wilson says he doesn’t have any expectations when it comes to album sales, but that doesn’t affect how happy he is with the ﬁnal results. “But just as a musician, as a lifelong member of this band, I’m really proud of this,” he says. “And I know that we’ve done something kind of special.”

MUSIC AN INDIE ACT TO BE RECKONED WITH The members of Real Estate formed a bond back in elementary school By Laura Morrison YOU CAN SPOT A BAND A MILE away. It’s something about those haircuts and the stylishly disheveled clothing. When the members of indie rock act Real Estate pile out of a van at a rest stop or a gas station while on tour, bassist Alex Bleeker says the stares are plentiful. “First of all, you don’t see packs of 30-somethings,” he says. “At this point, you’re supposed to have settled down.” Bleeker also says he likes to do jumping jacks on the lawn to get the blood ﬂowing. The guys have all gotten together from their corners of the country (New York, Wisconsin and Northern California) for their spring tour, and last week, they’re stuffed into a van in the middle of Illinois when Bleeker takes our call. Boisterous yells resound in the background from bandmates, but Bleeker is up to talk. He says the tour is still thrilling at this point, as it’s only Day 3. Plus, they’re playing and perfecting new tunes every night. “The new stuff — that’s the marker of a good show, doing this,” Bleeker says. “When we do new stuff, we’re looking at how do people react to it? How does it feel? Then, we’re also looking at new ways to play old songs — more periods of improvisation or working on older songs we haven’t played in a while to keep things fresh.” The band is rolling through much of the Midwest before ending up in Cleveland at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday to play the Beachland Ballroom. And Bleeker says he’s excited to get back to the Collinwood club. The sound is warm there, and the room allows for the right kind of energy, he says. “Truthfully, when we were booking this tour, I had our agent put Cleveland on the list,” he says. Since forming in 2009, the band hasn’t had a Top 40 radio single, but its 2014 album Atlas not only garnered critical acclaim, but also landed at No. 34 on the Billboard charts, cementing the ﬁve-piece as an indie act to be reckoned with. This is a band of guys who have

known each other, many of them, since elementary school. They’ve moved from upstate New Jersey to Brooklyn together. They’ve watched one another grow up, become fathers and partners, and then move away. Through the ups and downs of a band’s existence, it’s how they’ve dealt with the tough stuff that proves their mettle. Last October, the band released a statement that lead guitarist Matt

says, “We’re happy with Julian in the band.” The new guitarist Julian Lynch has been with the group since 2016 and helped in the writing of the act’s most recent album In Mind, which came out last year. Though frontman Martin Courtney comes up with the framework for most of the band’s songs, the rest of the crew help work out the lines and rhythms together.

Mondanile had been ﬁred back in 2016 due to sexual assault allegations. It took nearly a year for the real reason behind the split to surface, ﬁnally coming to light around the same time of the Harvey Weinstein allegations. But it’s clear Real Estate wants to put the whole thing behind it. When asked how the band’s handling things now, Bleeker only

The album, while still very much in the same middle-of-theroad, swaying and summery vibe as the group’s previous efforts, offers up one of its catchiest tunes yet: “Darling.” Looping guitars hover over a misty synthesizer as Courtney croons about waiting for his love. This is the springing-off point for the fresh songs the band is currently perfecting on the road.

Bleeker says they’re working on a new album right now. But after more than a decade of making music for a living, Bleeker says he doesn’t have any illusions. “Music is a young person’s game,” he says. “It’s hard to stick around too long as a rock band. Our music is still important to us. It makes us want to continue. But I think of it as one record and one day at a time.” Regarding the upcoming stop in Cleveland, Bleeker says the show’s energy will mostly depend on the audience. “Public service announcement: At any show, be a good audience member,” he says with a laugh. “The band always reacts to a good crowd; it’s a togetherness thing. I don’t want to tell anyone how to experience music, but often that means loud cheering, and not looking at your phone too much. There’s this intangible thing, I don’t know what creates it, but it’s why I’m here.”

Dance Gavin Dance/I See Stars/ ERRA/Sianvar: Dance Gavin Dance, the post-grunge punk band that stole the hearts of every ‘90s kid in their rebellious teen years, made a triumphant return this year. The rockers have released three singles leading up to their new album, Artiﬁcial Selection. “Care,” the strongest of the three, is an emotional ballad that features a rare slow tempo but continues to incorporate the kind of screamo elements that are typical for the Sacramento boys in the chorus. “Midnight Crusade” features an upbeat alternative kiss-off that brings the band right back into its comfort zone, and “Son of a Robot” includes a soft keyboard intro that’s followed by raspy vocals and skilled guitar riffs as Dance Gavin Dance aims to show the world that you don’t ever have to grow up if you don’t want to. (Halle Weber), 6 p.m., $22 ADV, $25.50 DOS. Agora Theatre. Dear Darkness/Imaginatron/ Meanderthal/Iron Oxide: 9 p.m., $5. Now That’s Class. The Jack Fords (in the Supper Club): Last year, in the attempt to emulate the WMMS Coffee Break Concerts that were so popular here in the 1970s and 1980s, the Music Box Supper Club teamed up with locally based oWOW Radio for a new, summer-long Happy Hour Concert series. The program has returned to the Music Box this summer and features both national and local acts. The radio station will broadcast the hour-long concerts live. Tonight, the hard rocking local band the Jack Fords take the stage. (Jeff Niesel), 6 p.m., free. Music Box Supper Club. David Murray & Kalil El’Zabar: 7 p.m., $20. Nighttown.

Summerland Tour 2018 with Everclear/Marcy Playground/ Local H: Portland, OR-based Everclear made a name for themselves with songs written about old wounds from front man Art Alexakis’ deadbeat dad. Alexakis founded the Summerland Tour in hopes of bringing some relief to those mourning the death of rock ‘n’ roll. The tour is now on its sixth year, proving that grunge and rock fans aren’t evaporating anytime soon. The band has not released an album since 2015’s Black is the New Black, and it has a set list dripping in nostalgia. “Wonderful,” “Father of Mine” and “Santa Monica” are bound to inspire sing alongs. This year, Everclear is joined by fellow ‘90s rockers Local H, best known for “Bound For the Floor.” The band has dipped a toe into hardcore and Seattle-style grunge over the years. Marcy Playground of “Sex and Candy” fame will also spice up this year’s bill. (Weber), 7 p.m., $35 ADV, $40 DOS. House of Blues.

Twain, who returned last year with NOW, her first studio effort in 15 years, continues to mix pop and country impulses. Album opener, “Swingin’ With My Eyes Closed” even includes a reggaetinged segment. Producer and former hubby Mutt Lange (Def Leppard) might not be in the picture any longer, but Twain’s ability to churn out radio-friendly fare remains. She reportedly hand-picked the opener, Swiss singer Bastian Baker, so be sure to arrive early to hear his set. (Niesel), 8 p.m., $29.95-$149.95. Quicken Loans Arena.

The 12-track fulllength features the hit single “Dangerous Night,” which is climbing the alternative charts despite its play-it-safe formula.

MIKE UVA MEET THE BAND: Mike Allan (bass),

Nick Cross (guitar), Mike Lyford (piano, organ, backing vocals), Dan Price (drums), Stelianos Simantiris (guitar), Mike Uva (guitar, vocals) THE GUY FROM VERMONT: Uva grew up

in Syracuse where he listened to what he describes as the “usual stuff” — classic rock you hear on the radio. He learned how to play guitar, began playing with friends in college and continued to play after college. He wrote what he calls “bad songs.” He was living in Vermont after college and he and his bandmates at the time wanted to ﬁnd “a more metropolitan area.” “I agreed to move here sight unseen in the mid-’90s,” says Uva. “It’s funny because there were six of us, and we were known as the Vermont people for a while.” He immediately started playing shows at venues like the now-shuttered Speak in Tongues. A LONG TIME COMING: Lights Coming

Up, Uva’s new album, represents his ﬁrst release in a few years. “I tend to wait a while to accumulate things to write about, and I probably wait too long,” Uva admits when asked about the gap between albums. When he had some songs together, he went to the local Primitive Earth studio. “We recorded over three days and did a few overdubs. It came together quickly.” ABOUT A DOG: Uva’s family adopted a dog a few years ago, and he ended up with the “not-terrible task” of walking her twice a day. Since then, he says he’s become more aware of the passing of days

and nights. “That ended up being an undercurrent in the record,” he says. “During winter, I think about warm days and sleeping on the sidewalk. That felt like a good place for the record to start, the title track. These characters are a bit down on their luck, sometimes they lie or steal, or they stay up too late and don’t recognize the person they were with the night before. They are bewildered, or bored, trying to regain their footing each new day they’re given.”

WHY YOU SHOULD HEAR HIM: The album shows off Uva’s understated songwriting abilities. One highlight, the Dylan-like “Waco,” has been in the works for years. “I started writing that song years ago but kept putting it aside,” says Uva. “Last year, it came together in time for the 25th anniversary of that event. The song is less about a speciﬁc history than remembering a time and place in your life and drawing a line from there to the world you’re in now. The recording started off as this solo guitar thing, but we added to it, and it went beyond my expectations.” Uva says he aims to “stay on track” and record and perform on a more regular basis.

performs with Sleepykid and Istvan Medgyesi at 8 p.m. on Friday, June 15, at the Beachland Tavern. — Jeff Niesel

SAVAGE LOVE RETROACTIVE BLESSINGS By Dan Savage Without snooping, I came across texts between my wife “Mary” and a guy “Jeremy” of a very sexual nature. While I would be okay if she were doing this and I knew about it, this has been going on since before we met. (We’ve been together 10 years.) She says she has never met him in person (despite communicating with him for more than a decade!) and this was the only thing she was doing that she thought would have been out of bounds. I’m not okay with her being with other guys, but I know harmless flirting can be a release. Still, I have issues with anxiety and depression, and this is definitely triggering me. I do not want to snoop and I want to trust her, but I am having a hard time with both. Prior to this, it never occurred to me that Mary would do anything that had a whiff of dishonesty about it. But her having kept this from me for as long as I have known her has made me question that. I don’t want to keep bringing this up to her, but I am struggling with it. What do you think I should do? — Upset In The Midwest I think you should get over it, UITM. Easier said than done, I realize, particularly with the twin burdens of anxiety and depression. But if you would have been fine with this had you known, the best way to prove that to her is by giving it your retroactive blessing. You’re right, UITM: Mary shouldn’t have hidden this from you. But she assumed — incorrectly, as it turned out — you would have a problem with those texts. It was a reasonable assumption on her part, since swapping flirty texts with a stranger is regarded as “out of bounds” by most. While this makes Mary’s failure to disclose look a little worse, we live in a culture that defines absolutely everything as cheating — don’t get me started on the idiocy that is “microinfidelities” and the idiots pushing that toxic concept — and as a consequence, people not only lack perspective (oh, to live in a world where everyone regarded harmless flirtation as no big deal!) but also the language to honestly discuss our need for a little harmless erotic affirmation from someone who

isn’t obligated to ﬁnd us attractive, i.e., not a spouse or partner. Put yourself in Mary’s shoes for a moment. When should she have told you about Jeremy? What would you have done if on the third or fourth date, she looked up from her menu and said, “I’ve been swapping ﬂirty texts with this guy for, oh, the last several years. I have no interest in him in real life, we’ve actually never even met in person, but I enjoy his texts and would like to keep swapping texts with him. I hope that’s not a problem.” You would have dumped her on the spot, right? She didn’t want to stop, she didn’t know how to talk about it, she hesitated, and … a decade went by. If there’s nothing else — if no other shoes drop — give this your retroactive blessing.

I am a transgender man, and my girlfriend is a transgender woman, and we have hit a plateau. Intimate time is rare, communication is minimal, and although I care for her deeply, I do not like her as a person and no longer want to get married. I have considered asking if we could open up the relationship, but I doubt that is the solution. How does one end a long-term relationship? — Help Relationship Transition Whatever you do, HRT, please — please — don’t ask to open up your relationship when what you really want is out. People who want out but ask for open inevitably get out in the end. People who want open and ask for open and get it tend to stay. But since most couples in open relationships aren’t public about it (most are more comfortable being perceived as monogamous), people hear about the insincere requests that preceded a breakup and conclude all requests are insincere. Anyway, HRT, how does one end a long-term relationship? One uses one’s words. If “I love you” are the three magic words, then “I’m leaving you” are the three tragic words. Seeing as intimacy is rare and communication is minimal, it shouldn’t come as a shock to your soon-to-be-ex ﬁancee.
