Saving the Empire (State)

Albany is failing us. It’s the property taxes. And the scandals.

And the petulant refusal to allow marriage equality. And the corruption. And the tawdry lust for power. Residents have had it. They want responsive government: less partisan posturing and more problem solving. They want legislators to do their jobs.

Candidates —incumbents and challengers — hear that frustration and many are running on reform. But we’ve been here before. Many a promising pol heads to Albany, only to find it’s the place where great ideas go to die.

Important seats are up for grabs this year: governor, attorney general, and Assembly and Senate. But it’s equally

important to make reforms — independent redistricting, public campaign financing, and ethics standards — that stick well beyond the next Legislature.

None of the big issues — property taxes, school funding cuts, reducing the size of the budget — will be addressed honestly until steps are taken to give individual legislators more independence.

“Every corrupt system, however long it lasted, has ended because people banded together and demanded change and pushed change through,” says Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause New York.

ELECTION 2010 | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Our non-endorsements — and our endorsements At this newspaper, we approach the election for state offices with a heavy heart.

For the past four years, a variety of New York officials — governor, comptroller, state legislators — have been embroiled in scandal. Most of them — including the ones with the most egregious allegations — were Democrats, who have controlled the governor’s office for 23 of the past 35 years and the Assembly for all of the past 35.

And when, after a tug-of-war with Republicans, they managed to take control of the State Senate in the summer of 2009 — thus running every branch of state government — they rewarded New Yorkers by naming Pedro Espada their majority leader. At the time, Espada was known for routinely ignoring state campaign-finance laws, and he is now accused of diverting millions of dollars in state and federal funds from a non-profit organization for his personal use. (Nor did Eliot Spitzer and Eric Massa help the party’s reputation.)

Albany’s problems go far beyond the behavior of individual Democratic officials, though. Our system of state government is so broken, so dysfunctional, that in many respects, it simply doesn’t matter who we elect. Ordinary legislators are powerless to change anything.

Deliberating over our endorsements two years ago, we were concerned that the Democrats would have too much power if they controlled all three branches of state government. But we also reasoned that if Democrats were in complete control, partisan logjams would end and it would be easier to hold elected officials accountable for fixing what’s wrong with Albany.

That has not happened. And we have no reason to hope that things will change if Democrats continue to run the show.

Major reform is needed. Most of the Democrats running for Assembly and State Senate this year promise that they’ll change things. They won’t. Their leadership won’t let them.

We cannot urge readers to vote for particular candidates when in many respects, their vote is meaningless. But we can’t bring ourselves to urge readers not to vote, and realistically, there is no other option than the major-party candidates. In the Rochester area, there are a few third-party candidates for Assembly and Senate, but in every case, they’re the same candidates running on the Democratic or the Republican line.

If we’re so upset with state Democrats, why don’t we just endorse their Republican opponents? In the case of the State Senate, where Republicans could take back control in this election, you can make a strong

case for doing just that. Most of the Senate Democrats come from the New York City area; Western New York is poorly represented.

Unquestionably, the legislature has sometimes made decisions based on the needs and the reality of New York City, when those decisions hurt or ignore Upstate interests.

But Republicans aren’t squeaky-clean reformers, either. Their former leader, Joe Bruno, had a scandal of his own. And during the chaotic spring of 2009, Senate Republicans were just as willing as the Democrats to embrace Pedro Espada and his partner-inscandal, Hiram Monserrate (whose claim to fame was assaulting his girlfriend). Both parties ignored the ethical issues surrounding Espada and Monserrate, wooing them so they could take control of the Senate. Nor have Republicans been any more eager than the Democrats to reform state government.

Somebody will be elected to every state office. And on some very important issues — some of which undoubtedly will be before the legislature next year — it matters a great deal who is voting in the state legislature.

Among those issues: drilling in the Marcellus Shale, a property-tax cap, energy, economic development, abortion rights, and gun laws.

Particularly important next year will be the right of same-sex couples to marry. This is a crucial issue of civil rights, and while we recognize that some opponents have deeply held religious beliefs, the right to marry is both a government and a religious issue.

Individual religious institutions can withhold marriage rites from same-sex couples if they like, but government must not perpetuate what is a devastatingly harmful injustice.

We are torn, then, between the need to make clear our disgust with Albany and our concern over specific issues.

Our decision this year: while we are endorsing in statewide and federal races, we are not endorsing any candidates for either the State Senate or the Assembly. We can not dignify Albany’s dysfunction by pretending that local representatives — of either party — will fix it. We are, however, analyzing six races and telling you which continues on page 8 rochestercitynewspaper.com

On preserving a Wright house

I feel the need to defend my family’s dedication to our home of 14 years, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Boynton House (“Preserving a Treasure,” September 29). We bought the house when no one wanted it and it had been empty for more than a year. We breathed life into it by investing our hearts, souls, sweat equity, time, and financial resources.

My husband Scott studied the architecture and architect with a scholar’s passion, even giving lectures to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in Chicago about the restoration efforts. We removed a chunk of the stucco and sent it to a lab to have the color analyzed so the exterior paint could match what was originally intended. We chose not to alter the kitchen despite the temptation, because we believed we had a duty beyond our lifetimes to retain one of the last authentic kitchens designed

by Wright.

Connie Lydon of Buffalo, an expert in Wright’s prairie landscape architecture, worked diligently with us to create a landscape reflective of the architect’s intentions despite the property being less than half of its original size.

Not one of our decisions was challenged or debated as inauthentic or disrespectful of the house’s origins. Quickly we gained the respect and trust of the Landmark Society of Western New York and all the national Wright institutions dedicated to the preservation of his work.

We opened our home to experts such as Ken City

OCTOBER 20-26, 2010

Burns and Paul Goldberger whenever possible as well as to beloved charities, including the Rochester Zen Center, Cobblestone School, Darwin Martin House, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and Susan B. Anthony, to name a few.

We patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) answered the door to tourists eager to get a closer view.

We gave our son the middle name of Wright with an understanding that the house of his early years will somehow shape his view of the world. We took to heart the responsibility and honor of being caretakers of such a distinguished treasure while also preserving our home as a family refuge.

Of all our sincere efforts to restore the house to the best that our resources would allow, our greatest achievement was in transforming what could be an intimidating space, a museum to many, into a cherished home.

Friends, neighbors, and family gathered in the space with a fire ablaze and knew that they were in a special place so thoughtfully designed by a genius and so lovingly cared for by us. What we lacked in deep pockets, we made up for in integrity, commitment, and gratitude.

Thank you again to all those who made the dream of that house a reality — friends, family, neighbors, previous owners, craftsmen and women, and the man himself, Frank Lloyd Wright.

KATIE MACDONALD, SAUNDERSTOWN, RHODE ISLAND

Wright’s work: big problems posing as ‘Art’

Your description of the Boynton House (“Preserving a Treasure,” September 29) tells a subtext story of incompetence in design and absence of discipline on the part of the architect. I’ll bet that no other house on the block has trouble with termites

and carpenter ants. For comparative examples, New England and New York have plenty of 17th and 18th-century structures that have survived, not needing the basic work that goes into the restoration of a 20th-century Frank Lloyd Wright project like the Boynton House, the Darwin Martin House, or, especially, Falling Water.

You say that the house was not completed to the Wright design. The Darwin Martin House and Edgar Kauffman’s Falling Water exceeded the budget and the allotted time for construction, grossly. It appears that Mr. Boynton simply ran out of money.

You say that the Wrightdesigned feature of recessed lighting in the living room caused a 27-foot support beam to be dangerously compromised by cut-outs to fit the light fixtures.

Well, first, any architect worth hiring can visualize the work and produce electrical drawings that conform to the structural drawings. Second, the architect is supposed to be present during construction to prevent such glitches. The leaks described may be due to unfortunate alterations later on, but leaks were a prominent feature of Graycliff, Falling Water, and the Johnson’s Wax headquarters building in Racine, Wisconsin.

As to livability, the long overhang of the roof looks nice from the street but it results in a poorly lit interior in spite of the large area devoted to windows — that leak heat. That gloominess was a complaint of Isabelle Martin about the Martin House.

Long hallways are romantic, inefficient dust catchers.

The reverence for Frank Lloyd Wright among the architects, I think, stems from admiration for his ability to charm wealthy proud clients into becoming sycophant donors after being insulted with cost over-runs, tardiness, and the imposition of really uncomfortable living space under the guise of “Art.” The Frank Lloyd Wright

houses end up becoming wards of the public because few can afford to maintain them or desire to live in them after the death of the original owners.

Hawkins best for governor

How often does the general public in New York State hear a candidate for elected office speak intelligently about the problems facing us and the solutions to correct them? Often, a candidate like Carl Paladino hides behind insane ideas and outrageous behavior to distract from the true issues, while a candidate like Andrew Cuomo hides behind his frontrunner status to dodge questions and avoid offering specific plans for solving our problems.

I am one of so many voters who are fed up. I am fed up with Democrats, Republicans, incumbents, and the game of politics everyone seems to play. But when I stop and examine the issues important to me — and this year it is hydrofracking — the path becomes clear.

There is another candidate for governor of New York. If you want to use your vote to send a strong and clear message that you are fed up, you can cast a vote for Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins and you will be voting for the best candidate running.

THOMAS R. JANOWSKI, GATES

From our website On cuts at the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation: In a time of

recession, budgets will be cut, people will lose lobs, and it will hurt. We get it.

Usually, the oppressed are the recipients of this austerity message. Regardless of who caused the recession, we make our corrections on the backs of the poor, government workers who keep our infrastructure going, the least likely to be able to fight back, and always our environment.

In good times and bad, the thing to do to balance the budget and magically save us from ourselves is to trash our environment: pave it, develop it, drill it, pollute it, shoot it, and forget it altogether. But that’s suicidal.

Gutting the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the agency responsible for protecting our environment in lean times and good, means that when the cat is away, the mice (industry, individuals) get to do whatever they want with our environment.

Rationally, the thing to do would be to increase the staff at the DEC. When things get tough, people start trashing the environment. They take shortcuts; they dump when they should recycle. Desperate schemes, like drilling for natural gas to provide jobs and make money and warm the planet with more greenhouse gases, get less scrutiny and less environmental enforcement.

FRANK J. REGAN

On Urban Journal’s “Are Voters Fit to Vote?” column: You really think

this is about the need for thoughtful, intelligent voters and candidates? Those who disagree with liberal/ progressive views are just dummies? Bullshit! What about idealism? What about freedom versus government control? Must we all defer to the wiser academics and politicians who know better than us?

The concept of limited government as enshrined in our Constitution is what allows people to live free without government interference. Thank God for candidates like Carl Paladino, willing to take on the liberal establishment, and the other conservative Republicans across the country who want to live free! And shame on you and the liberal establishment for forgetting what it’s all about.

The struggle is freedom versus government.

Education rallies

A proposal to demolish Valley Court Apartments, a property that experts say has significant historical value, was passed unanimously by a City Council committee. The full Council was expected to approve the proposal on Tuesday night. Future plans for the Genesee Street property are condos or owner-occupied homes.

Metro Justice and the Alliance for Quality Education held a rally to protest a controversial New York State Board of Regents plan that would prevent failing students from getting academic intervention. The cost-cutting measure would impact more than 400,000 students statewide and one-third of Rochester city students.

And members of the Coalition for Common Sense in Education drew more than 100 people to a rally to denounce what they called the privatization of education and the destruction of public schools. They labeled the No Child Left Behind law, the culture of standardized testing, and Race to the Top as gimmicks.

The Obama administration asked US District Judge Virginia Phillips for an emergency stay of her decision on Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. The administration plans to appeal the decision, which ordered a halt on the military’s ban on openly gay troops. Phillips says she is considering denying the request.

A survey indicates strong voter support for mayoral control of Rochester city schools. The survey was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling and Research.

But critics say that the Washington, DC firm polled mostly suburban residents and didn’t ask respondents if they favored mayoral control of suburban schools.

Testing teacher incentive pay The Rochester school district and the Rochester Teachers Association are for the first time collaborating on an incentive-based pay structure for teachers, which would be linked to student performance.

The proposed program would be based on what district officials call a “school-wide student growth” model. Teachers could receive up to $2,000 each in additional pay if the school meets all of its goals.

The pilot program would be launched at East High School within weeks if at least 80 percent of the school’s teachers agree.

District officials acknowledge that the incentive or bonus pay is not huge, less than 2 percent of the average starting teacher’s salary.

But they see it as an important first step in a long overdue conversation about restructuring teacher compensation.

Joe Morelle’s attempts to build a consensus around a special election have been met with resistance.

Many of the leaders want City Council to appoint an interim mayor, so the candidate can be selected in a primary. Presumably, some of them have already lined up behind one of the Democrats who want to run.

Still no mayor in sight

The overlooked

Time is running out and the rumors are flying about who the city’s next mayor will be, if Bob Duffy is elected lieutenant governor, and how that person will be selected. Tensions within the Democratic Party are rising, too.

A lot is at stake. Rochester’s downtown development needs strong, consistent leadership. And there are a host of other issues that will need the next mayor’s attention.

City Council would have 30 days from when Duffy vacates the mayor’s office to either appoint an interim mayor or hold a special election. If they appoint an interim, that person will serve only through 2011, and Rochester would vote for mayor in a general election in November of that year. And given the number of Democrats who want to be mayor, there would undoubtedly be a primary in September 2011.

If Council decides to call for a special election, the winner would serve for the remainder of Duffy’s term, through 2013.

Significantly, there could be no primary. The Democratic Committee would select their party’s candidate.

Party Chair Joe Morelle has met with party leaders to try to build consensus for a special election. But so far, what he has gotten is agreement on the process for nominating a candidate if a special election were held. The city’s legislative-district leaders would hold

The media coverage of Monday night’s gubernatorial debate focused on the performances of Andrew Cuomo and Carl Paladino, with a side of Jimmy McMillan (the Rent is Too Damn High guy). | But Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins and Libertarian Party candidate Warren Redlich were concise, engaging, and made important points. | Redlich dismissed the idea of a property tax cap. It’s spending, he said, that needs to be addressed. That matches perfectly with the concerns of state school districts and local governments. They fear they’ll be forced to limit tax increases without any corresponding reduction in their responsibilities. | Hawkins injected some strong progressive arguments into the debate.

Instead of a property tax cap, he said, the state should take over Medicaid entirely, which would reduce local property taxes. And a true progressive income tax would lift some of the burden off of the lower and middle classes and spread it among the wealthy. | Third-party candidates often get the major party candidates to address and discuss issues they’d otherwise leave alone. But their voices have been absent this election season, most likely because the coverage is being driven by Paladino. Monday’s debate gave New Yorkers a glimpse of what they’ve been missing.

candidates’ views are most closely aligned with ours on specific issues, particularly on civil rights and the environment.

All of them, unfortunately, are Democrats.

All of the Democrats in those six races support same-sex marriage. None of the Republicans have told us they do. (A qualifier: we weren’t able to get answers from one of the Republican candidates.) And we believe that overall, Democratic candidates offer a more cautious approach to drilling in the Marcellus Shale.

You can find the candidates’ answers to our questions on a variety of subjects on our website (rochestercitynewspaper.com).

State Senate, 56th district: Democrat Robin Wilt. Wilt, a Brighton resident and real-estate

agent who has been active in progressive politics, is facing a formidable candidate, incumbent Senator Joe Robach. Wilt holds strongly progressive views, supporting gun control and living-wage proposals and opposing hydrofracking in the Marcellus Shale. And she would be a strong advocate for marriage equality. Robach, a Democrat turned Republican, is exceptionally popular, despite his district’s heavy Democratic enrollment.

Strongly conservative, he opposes same-sex marriage and abortion rights.

State Senate, 55th district: Mary Wilmot.

Republican incumbent Jim Alesi has worked hard for his district, and he has steered state funds to numerous important events and institutions. But he could have provided a key vote last year, breaking from his party and voting for marriage equality. To the dismay of many of us, he did not. If he could not do that, we regret to say, we don’t have faith that he would be independent on issues involving government reform. Wilmot, a well-informed candidate who served as

Our system of state government is so broken, so dysfunctional, that in many respects, it simply doesn’t matter who we elect. director of the governor’s Rochester regional office and as Rochester-area regional director for the State Senate, is pro-choice, supports wind and solar-energy development, wants campaign-finance reform, favors mayoral control, and supports marriage equality.

Assembly, 130th district: David Nachbar.

Nachbar and Republican Sean Hanna are campaigning for the seat currently held by Republican Joe Errigo, who is not seeking reelection. Nachbar is smart and exceptionally well informed. He supports same-sex marriage rights and says that drilling in the Marcellus Shale is environmentally risky and too expensive. His Republican opponent, Sean Hanna, is a former Monroe County legislator who went on to serve as a respected regional director of the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation. He did not respond to our request for his opinions on key state issues, but the issues part of his website focuses strictly on jobs and taxes. He says he opposes state budgets that raise taxes, supports a state property-tax cap, supports cutting the corporate franchise tax, and would push for tax credits for businesses relocating to the Rochester or Finger Lakes area.

Assembly, 131st district: Harry Bronson.

Like the 130th, this is an open seat, with Democrat Susan John retiring. Bronson is an attorney with a background in labor and antidiscrimination law. Currently the co-owner of a small business in the South Wedge, he served as an attorney for the Assembly’s labor committee, which Susan John chairs, and is currently Democratic minority leader in the Monroe County Legislature, where he’s been as effective as a Democratic leader can be in that body. He’s bright, stands up for what he believes in, and would be a strong advocate for marriage equality. His opponent, Kenneth Kraus, is running on the Republican, Conservative, and Independence lines. An associate attorney with Evans and Fox, he is an enthusiastic political newcomer who says he would push for cuts in state spending and a strong property-tax cap. Asked for his opinion on same-sex marriage, he says he supports equal rights and that the sanctity of marriage must be protected. While he supports the current moratorium on drilling in the Marcellus Shale to insure that there are environmental safeguards, he says the economic benefits of drilling are “undeniable.”

Assembly, 132nd district: Joe Morelle.

Republican Mark Scuderi is a financial advisor who has been active in a variety of civic organizations. He says he opposes gerrymandering and wants a “negative” cap on property taxes until New York’s taxes “are in line with other states.” On same-sex marriage: he says he supports “equal rights for all legal Americans.” On his website, he stresses his concern with the state’s “addiction to spending” and says he’ll vote against any new taxes.

Morelle, who was first elected to the Assembly in 1990, is a former Monroe County legislator

and currently chairs the Monroe County Democratic Party. He’s a knowledgeable, strong member of the Assembly who isn’t afraid to take controversial positions — cosponsoring the Assembly’s mayoral control bill, for example. He sometimes takes positions more moderate than some of his liberal colleagues, but he supports marriage equality.

Assembly, 135th district: David Koon.

Democratic incumbent Koon, who has the Working Families and Independence Party endorsements, is running against RepublicanConservative Party candidate Mark Johns.

Johns is on the staff of the Monroe County Health Department and has served on the Webster Conservation Board. He opposes same-sex marriage, says drilling in the Marcellus Shale should be done only if there are environmental safeguards, and says that a cap on government spending is more important than a property-tax cap, noting that the state often shifts costs down to local governments, forcing them to raise taxes.

Koon is a relatively quiet member of the Assembly, but he understands the issues the state faces, and he has thoughtful responses to questions about hydrofracking and public education. And he’s firmly in support of marriage equality. “Government,” he says, “can not treat citizens in different ways.”

(In the 133rd district, incumbent Democrat David Gantt is unopposed. In the 134th,

Democratic candidate David Zimmerman is not actively campaigning against incumbent Bill Reilich. We did not analyze the Senate race between incumbent Republican Michael Nozzolio and Edward O’Shea. Nozzolio did not respond to our questionnaire; O’Shea’s comments are on our website.)

Our endorsements for state and federal offices Governor: Andrew Cuomo

For this traditionally liberal publication, deciding on our endorsements for most federal and top offices has not been hard this year. The easiest decision is in the race for governor of New York. There is simply no contest. Temperamentally, Republican Carl Paladino is not suited for public office.

Paladino’s public-relations problems are not gaffes or missteps: they are an indication of how he views African Americans (distributing a gag e-mail with the caption “run niggers run”), women, and gays. And while his angry outbursts may mirror the frustration many of us feel about New York State’s government, he has shown no ability to lead and govern. Temperament matters in both, because New York’s governor is not City

king; to get anything done, the governor must win the support of members of the State Senate and Assembly.

This race could have given us a chance to have a deep discussion about the future of the state, about its finances, its broken government, its economic woes. Instead, thanks to the Republicans’ nomination of Carl Paladino, it has been a circus. Andrew Cuomo isn’t our ideal candidate, but for voters, he is the only rational choice.

We aren’t endorsing Cuomo simply because he’s the only candidate left standing, however. He is bright, capable, and aggressive. He would be a strong governor when the state absolutely must have one.

And maybe there is even reason to hope — past history notwithstanding — that he can

convince concerned members of the state legislature to ignore their leadership, work with him, and bring about the government reforms New York desperately needs.

Also on the ballot: Five other candidates are running on third-party lines, most of them frivolous (a self-proclaimed madam running on the Anti-Prohibition line, for instance, and a Brooklyn retiree on the “Rent Is 2 Damn High” line). But the ballot includes two candidates from serious parties: Libertarian Warren Redlich and the Green Party’s Howie Hawkins. Redlich takes traditional Libertarian positions — reduce government spending, reduce the size of government, reform our policy on illegal drugs. Hawkins is strongly liberal, strongly Green; he wants a ban on hydrofracking and

opposes the development of more nuclearpower plants.

Third parties could offer the country a lot — but they face almost impossible odds.

The political system is so rigged, and the system of financing campaigns is so corrupt, that no one but major-party candidates and the occasional wealthy fringe candidate has a chance to be heard. In a fair political system, serious third-party candidates could campaign adequately — and could be elected, forcing, with their presence, representatives in the major parties to form coalitions, compromise, and get things done.

That this is not possible is one of the most serious stains on America’s democracy.

Lieutenant governor: Bob Duffy. We continue

to believe that Duffy’s decision to be Cuomo’s running mate was a bad one, both for him and for Rochester. Historically, lieutenant governor has been a nearly meaningless office, and Rochester needed Duffy. He and Cuomo may prove us wrong, but he’ll have to accomplish a lot to undo the damage he did by aiming for Albany only a few months into his second term. If he’s elected, of course, he’ll be the person who becomes governor if Cuomo doesn’t fulfill his term. And New Yorkers now recognize the importance of having a strong person waiting in the wings.

Duffy is an honorable, hard-working public servant, and his time as Rochester’s mayor has proved that he learns quickly and surrounds himself with talented staff. The state could certainly be in far worse hands than his.

New York Attorney General: Eric Schneiderman. As with the governor, this

race offers voters a clear choice. Schneiderman would be an activist attorney general in the style of Eliot Spitzer and Andrew Cuomo, going after white-collar crime as well as common criminals. His Republican opponent, Dan Donovan, would not be — and would likely be a much better friend of big business. Schneiderman is a pro-choice liberal who supported efforts to reform New York’s drug laws; Donovan is a tough-ondrugs conservative who opposes abortion rights and same-sex marriage. Schneiderman’s the easy choice.

New York Comptroller: Harry Wilson. This

wasn’t an easy pick. Incumbent DiNapoli, a Democrat, got this job at a chaotic time, after the once-respected Alan Hevesi resigned in the face of a mounting scandal. DiNapoli has begun to rebuild confidence in his office, aggressively pursuing government waste and strengthening ethical guidelines for his office.

But in Republican Harry Wilson he faces a strong candidate.

Chuck Schumer. file Photo

As a member of President Obama’s automotive-industry task force, Wilson helped successfully restructure General Motors. And his supporters say that his knowledge and experience in the financial industry make him the ideal person to supervise the state’s pension fund. His resume also includes experience at Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, and the Silver Point Capital hedge fund firm, and that could be a concern. For disenchanted New Yorkers, as the New York Times has suggested, this race may depend on who we’re more upset with, Albany or Wall Street. But we assume that a Democrat will be governor next year, and will likely have the majority in the Assembly.

It would be a plus to have a counter to that strength in the comptroller’s office — someone who, as the Times’ endorsement editorial put it, “is not beholden to the Democrats in control in Albany.”

US Senate: Chuck Schumer. Democrat

Schumer is heavily favored to win re-election, and he should. We’re concerned about his close ties to — and financial support from — Wall Street, but overall, he has been a good senator and a strong fighter for the public interest. His opponent, Republican Jay Townsend, would strengthen the right-wing grip on his party’s caucus in the Senate. The Tea Party, he says, is “exactly what America needed.” He opposes the health-care reform act, which he says was “rammed through the US Senate by Senator Schumer” (who he also refers to as “Senator Chicken” because Schumer stalled on debating him). He favors continuation of all of the Bush tax cuts, wants to open more federal land to oil exploration; talks frequently about “the ruling elites” (who, he says, “want to Europeanize the United States”), and says President Obama is leading continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

to the Senate when Hillary Clinton became Secretary of State, Gillibrand had her work cut out for her. She was relatively unknown outside of the Upstate area that she represented in Congress (stretching from south of Albany to the North Country), and her pro-gun, antiimmigration stands reflected the conservatism of her district. While she changed some of those positions, it has raised questions about whether that’s because her thinking has evolved, or because it was smart politically. She has, however, received support from women’s groups, LGBT leaders, and abortion-rights activists while maintaining the support of the National Rifle Association. Bright and aggressive, she has worked hard and seems to be respected by other Democrats in Congress and by the Obama administration.

Republican Joseph DioGuardi represented his Westchester County area in Congress in the 1980’s. In his campaign, he has pressed for budget reform, a reduction in government spending, and stronger border security. An opponent of the new health-care bill and of abortion rights, he would provide Senate Republicans a reliable vote in opposing Obama administration initiatives.

Congress, 25th district: Dan Maffei.

Republican candidate Ann Marie Buerkle, who has been an assistant New York attorney general, is a strong conservative whose positions are no surprise: against cap and trade, against the health-care legislation (which she calls “a victory for big government” and “an affront to the Constitution”). She has questioned the seriousness of global warming, says she doesn’t think carbon emissions are a big problem, and says that attempts to curb them will hurt business. “The real foundation for economic renewal,” she says on her website, “lies in lower taxes and smaller government, not government bailouts and new entitlement programs.”

In his first term in Congress, Maffei has proved to be a thoughtful, hard-working legislator. Government, he recognizes, has a crucial role to play in situations like the financial crisis. Rather than viewing financial regulation as an enemy, he says it’s crucial.

He voted for the health-care bill, believes that global warming is a serious threat, and believes that green technology offers hope both for the environment and for job creation, including in Upstate New York. He is a strong legislator whose voice we need in Congress.

Congress, 28th district: Louise Slaughter.

Representing the Rochester area in Washington since 1986, Slaughter is an

influential member of Congress who wears her liberalism proudly. Her Republican opponent, Buffalo-area dentist Jill Rowland, is almost Slaughter’s exact opposite. She opposes nearly everything Slaughter endorses: the health-care bill (on which Slaughter worked hard), cap and trade, the stimulus bill, restrictions on offshore drilling. Slaughter has been a valuable, dedicated representative for the Rochester area and deserves re-election.

Congress, 29th District: Matt Zeller. Voters

in this district are fortunate in having two personable, thoughtful candidates. And voters have a clear choice between the moderate Democrat Zeller and the conservative Republican Tom Reed.

Zeller may be handicapped both by his youth — he’s 28 — and the fact that compared to Reed, he’s relatively unknown in the district.

He’s obviously a quick study, though, and he’s able to intelligently comment on many of the issues facing the country. He wishes the stimulus bill had focused on specific initiatives like clean energy and reviving the nation’s infrastructure.

He has a cautious approach to the US involvement in Afghanistan and objects to the term “the war on terror” (“terrorism,” he says, “is a tool of the desperate”). He says he wouldn’t have voted for the health-care bill because it doesn’t do enough to address health-care and health-insurance costs, but he wouldn’t vote to repeal it. “It’s a start,” he says. He would vote against continuing tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. He’s strongly pro-choice and favors repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

A former mayor of Corning, Reed embraces conservative principles but doesn’t cloak them in angry, ideological rhetoric. He believes in government involvement as a last resort and opposes cap and trade. And although he believes that some reforms of the health-care legislation are needed, he would vote for its repeal so that a better bill, focusing more on health-care costs, can be crafted. He believes that the answer to the problems in the financial industry is enforcement, not more regulation. He opposes privatization of Social Security, saying it’s too risky; opposes abortion rights; and opposes repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell in the near future because “we have too much on our plate right now.” Breaking with many conservatives and abortion opponents, he supports embryonic stem-cell research, which he believes offers hope for treatment of serious diseases.

Janice Volk, who sought the Republican nomination for this seat, is a long shot writein candidate.

(In the 26th Congressional district, Republican

incumbent Chris Lee is opposed by Democrat Phil Fedele, who has not actively campaigned.)

increasing school attendance, reducing long-term suspensions, increasing graduation rates, and improving ELA and math scores at multiple grade levels.

The specific targets for each goal are still being hashed out, but agreement has been reached on some. For instance, one goal is to increase the number of students in grades 10 to 12 who pass the English Regents exam to 70 percent. Meeting that goal would earn East’s 164 teachers an extra $250 each.

Since each objective comes with its own financial reward, the school does not have to achieve 100 percent of its goals for teachers to receive extra pay.

East High was chosen for the pilot, Doyle says, because it is persistently identified by the state as a poorly performing school. School districts are given options for what the state calls “improvement models.” District officials in Rochester chose to close some poorly-performing schools — one of the options — earlier this year. But in East’s case, officials decided to attempt a transformation.

The money for the incentive pay will not come out of the district’s budget.

The state is providing almost $2 million through a School Improvement Grant to launch the pilot. District officials haven’t yet determined how to fund the project if it were made permanent and expanded.

It may need to be included in the next school year’s budget.

East High’s teachers will vote on the proposed program sometime during the next three weeks, says RTA President Adam Urbanski. And he’s optimistic that teachers will approve the pilot.

“I’m confident it will happen,” he says. “I’m recommending that they ratify it.”

The program should succeed, he says, because it was designed with teacher involvement at the school level. But the program also has to meet state standards in order to qualify for the grant.

If approved, the pilot program at East will begin next month and continue through June 2011. After an assessment, teachers will receive the incentive pay earned. The program doesn’t apply to the school’s principal or its non-professional staff. But city schools Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard says he wants to launch the program in 20 additional schools next year, and it would include principals at that time.

The program is not funded by the federal Race to the Top funds that New York will receive. But the state would not have qualified for that funding or

for the funding for East’s pilot program if districts and unions had not agreed to begin negotiations on teacher compensation that is partially tied to student performance.

“We’re now starting to put into place a performance pay structure that recognizes people’s talents and skill sets,” Brizard says. “The best part of this pilot program is how this has grown organically from the school itself. They have taken this on as a team effort.”

There are still some glitches that need to be resolved. East’s teachers, for example, want to see some of the grant money used to provide classroom supplies and resources that the school currently lacks. Some teachers pay for these items themselves.

“There’s some question about how the grant money can be used and we’re still looking at that criteria,” Brizard says.

“But we’re not going to let that be a hold up. If the teachers need things that are not covered by the grant, then we’ll get it for them and find another way to pay for it.”

SAVING THE

EMPIRE (STATE) COVER STORY | BY JEREMY MOULE | ILLUSTRATIONs BY JASON MOSER

New York’s Legislature hit rock bottom with last summer’s Senate coup.

Democrats had the Senate majority for the first time in 40 years. But then two of the party’s senators joined with Republicans to try to topple the Senate leadership. Instead, they put the Senate into a 31-day coma during what’s typically one of the Legislature’s busiest times.

The whole ordeal was clearly about power.

Republicans wanted it back and the two Democrats, Hiram Monserrate and Pedro Espada, thought they deserved more of it.

Everybody dug in and, while the courts decided the legality of the coup, the people of New York watched in disbelief.

On some level, politics will always be about power. People get that. But the coup crossed a line, which is tough for New York’s notoriously dysfunctional Legislature to do.

That burlesque broadly offended New Yorkers and made the state a national spectacle. The pursuit of power became an end in itself.

POLLS WILL BE OPEN from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, November 2. To find your polling place and to see a copy of the ballot, go to www.monroecounty. gov/apps/voterapp.php.

“The reason you have a representative democracy is to send people to the capital to solve people’s problems,” says Blair Horner, legislative director for New York Public Interest Research Group. “That’s why they go. That’s why they’re supposed to go. I think the public’s frustration right now is they have these big problems and they don’t think anybody’s doing anything about them.”

This election represents a chance to change that.

New York is in a difficult position. Wall Street’s implosion has cost the state a lot of revenue while the multimillion-dollar budget gap keeps widening. The government is having trouble living up to funding promises to school districts. And the struggling national economy has increased the need for social programs, which the state can barely pay for. Those are just some of the problems.

No longer will representatives be able to put off decisions about spending cuts by employing some budgetary gimmick. They’ll have to decide which schools need more state aid and which can more easily absorb a loss.

They’ll have to decide whether economic development programs are giving the state a good enough return on its investment and whether to continue them.

Advocacy groups, citizens, and a growing number of lawmakers say now is the time to end Albany’s insular culture. The gerrymandering, the influence of money, the non-competitive elections, the concentration

of power in legislative leadership, it all needs to end.

Many candidates, aware of voter anger, are campaigning on government reform. They’ve signed pledges, like the one offered by former New York City Mayor Ed Koch’s New York Uprising. They’ve vowed to push for nonpartisan redistricting, an ethics commission, better financial disclosure from legislators, and honest budgeting practices.

But it’s a familiar refrain. Many a newlyelected legislator has gone to Albany with the intent of shaking things up, only to find that it’s the place reform goes to die. Bright, promising reformers get sucked into and become part of a broken system. Or they get so dismayed that they give up.

“Part of the problem is that everybody says they want to do reform, but at the end of the day everyone has to agree on the reform,” Horner says. “And that just hasn’t been done.”

Case in point: local Assembly member David Gantt does not support independent redistricting. Gantt holds sway in the Democratic conference, and time will tell if can use his considerable influence to derail an independent process.

Good government groups are aggressively

pushing the Legislature to use an independent commission to draft the new district maps.

There’s a practical reason: the 2010 Census is complete and legislators will begin redrawing district lines in 2011.

New York’s redistricting tradition is about as political as it gets. The majority parties in the Assembly and Senate draw the lines for their respective houses in the Legislature.

The results of this system have been disastrous, at least for the public. The mangled, misshapen districts are, however, great for the parties in power. They help keep incumbents in office and limit the chance of competitive challenges. Look at the Senate districts that cover Rochester, which were last drawn in 2000 when the GOP controlled the Senate. Three Senate districts snake through the city, but the GOP based the districts in Republican-heavy suburban areas. By combining the city and the suburbs, Republicans were able to essentially prevent a Democrat from winning a seat on the local Senate delegation.

Some local Assembly districts do the opposite: they divide up Republican-dominated suburban areas and dip into the city to form a Democratic-leaning district. Democrats have long held the majority in the Assembly.

One of the most infamous examples of alleged gerrymandering comes out of New York City. In 2000, Democrat Hakeem Jeffries challenged a partybacked incumbent, which upset the local Democratic establishment. Jeffries lost the race and during the once-a-decade redistricting process that began soon after, his residence, along with the few blocks surrounding it, was drawn out of the district. He moved back in to the district

Three-and-a-half hours from Rochester, a light shines, a hero is called.

and after another unsuccessful run, he finally won the seat in 2006.

The dark art of political redistricting is revealed in the numbers: from 1980 to 2008, there have been close to 3,000 legislative races, but incumbents lost only 39 times, says a NYPIRG report.

“There’s no perfect map,” says Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause New York. “There’s no one right way to district the state. There are too many variables. It’s a negotiation process.

Nevertheless, there is a wrong way to do it and so far all we’ve seen is repeated versions of how not to do it.”

The popular alternative is an independent commission. NYPIRG, Common Cause New York, League of Women Voters, and other good government groups have found a model they like in Iowa’s system.

In Iowa, elected officials including a judge, the governor, and legislative majority and minority leaders appoint members to a nominating committee. That group then develops a list of 40 nominees, which is pared down to an 11-member redistricting commission. There would be membership caveats: some would assure representatives from all parts of the state, others prohibit the appointment of lobbyists and public officeholders.

The commission draws the district lines but, as per the state Constitution, the Legislature has to approve the new map.

Using that model would help establish competitive districts in New York. And competitive districts would, theoretically, lead to more responsive legislators.

“The biggest problem we have in New York is totally non-responsive government,” Lerner says. “Everything

is rigged to wall off the Legislature from the people they represent, with one of the highest, if not the highest, incumbency return rates in the nation.”

Lerner and Horner say that redistricting reform should be combined with a public

campaign finance system.

“What it does is it gives challengers money to go after incumbents,” Horner says.

It also frees candidates — incumbent or challenger — to run a race without relying on special-interest money.

Candidates spend once-unthinkable sums of money trying to win legislative or statewide offices.

One candidate in this year’s Democratic primary for attorney general spent more than $6.8 million, and he didn’t win. Another losing candidate spent more than $5 million, while two others spent close to $2 million each.

And more than $40 million was sunk into the 2008 State Senate elections.

Money and its influence is a big part of Albany’s problem. Roughly one-third of contributions come from large donors who spend more than $10,000 during a single election.

“The system now is a dialing-for-dollars system where big donors can basically control the process,” says NYPIRG’s Horner.

Campaigns are expensive, especially if a candidate faces both primary and general election challenges. And if candidates are getting that money from big donors, chances are there’s some sort of expectation of reciprocation. And if a legislator doesn’t meet that expectation, future contributions could be in jeopardy or the donor could fund a challenger.

Many interest groups represent admirable causes, so it’s not inherently bad for continues on page 14

them to have some influence. But it also sets up a situation where singular interests — trade groups, business associations, unions or their lobbyists — hold sway that average people can’t match.

That’s why a public campaign finance system is important. Good government groups push for something resembling New York City’s system where a candidate collects smaller donations from individuals and gets matching public funds.

haven’t been successful. Silver’s been especially resistant.

There’s another, more extreme option.

Bill Samuels, founder of the New Roosevelt Initiative, an activist group focused on electing reform-minded candidates, says the Legislature should be full-time and legislators shouldn’t have outside sources of income.

It’d require pay raises, he says, but the quality and dedication of people serving would improve. It would also benefit legislators who don’t take on outside work.

“We have to say the job’s important,” Samuels says.

Earlier this year, Governor David Paterson pushed an ethics reform proposal backed by good-government groups. But some legislators had their own, weaker package and an agreement was never reached.

Money pervades Albany in another way. For

an example, look to the trial and conviction of former Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno.

That case illustrates how badly Albany needs ethics reform.

Bruno was convicted of two federal counts of fraud for not disclosing money he received through business deals. One of those deals involved a nanotech company that was seeking state funding, says a New York Times article.

And that’s not an isolated case. A string of lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have been arrested, investigated, or convicted of money-related offenses.

“Clearly from the political crime wave that has occurred at the capital over the past few years, something has to be done,” Horner says.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest are big concerns of government watchdogs.

A number of legislators have outside employment, and some have clients with business before the state. They could be attorneys with clients who have state contracts, or consultants with clients seeking state grants. Others earn money off of corporate investments, which may be influenced by legislative action.

Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, an attorney, has come under scrutiny from watchdogs because he won’t divulge his clients. He also has financial interests in a number of companies, though he won’t disclose the extent of those investments.

Legislators have to disclose outside sources of income: Bruno got in trouble because he didn’t do that. But the rules don’t require any great level of detail. Legislators need only provide the source of the income. They also have to quantify their earning, but exact figures aren’t necessary.

Other reform possibilities: Lerner says

The chosen one vows to combat Albany’s ills: corruption, inertia, reckless spending. In this topsy-turvy universe, enemies are friends and friends are enemies.

Bob Duffy: Savior of the Empire State.

Horner says they should disclose whether their clients have business before the state.

arrangement, the public should know that, he says.

The Legislature needs an independent oversight body, Horner says. Some lawmakers have pushed for one, but they

each state agency should develop criteria to measure the effectiveness of its spending.

It’d be easier to identify underperforming programs that way, she says. It would also make citizens more confident that their tax money is being wisely spent.

And the state should allow everyone to vote via absentee ballot, she says, as a way to increase voter participation. People who work multiple jobs and single parents often have trouble making it to the polls, she says.

Currently, voters have to apply for absentee ballots and they can’t get them unless they’ll be out of town on Election Day, or “confined by illness or physical disability.”

Horner and Lerner stress loosening the grip of Senate and Assembly leaders to benefit citizens and to create more independent legislators.

Both also say that state government needs to operate more in the open. There should be more public debates and discussions, and fewer decisions made during closed-door meetings.

The whole package makes for a heavy lift and many of these reforms are unlikely to happen immediately, if at all. It’s up to citizens to hold lawmakers to their promises, whether it’s a pledge in support of independent redistricting or new budgeting standards.

But reforming Albany is not impossible.

The Little Theatre will show Sara Nesson’s documentary film “Poster Girl” at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 21, in the Little 1. The film features Robynn Murray, who lives in Rochester and became the poster girl for “ARMY Magazine.” Normal ticket prices apply.

Dining surprisingly spicy take on seafood salad and coleslaw. Roughly the same combination is found in many of the restaurant’s “special” rolls, livening up tuna, yellowtail, crab, and salmon in combination with other ingredients. One of the most successful of these combinations is the aptly named Spicy Spicy roll, which is stuffed with spicy tuna and topped with a thick layer of spicy imitation crab, creating a one-two punch that will have you reaching for your sake cup or your can of Sapporo beer repeatedly over the course of the meal ($11.95).

381-8999, kakachisushi.com [ REVIEW ] BY JAMES LEACH

Earlier this year a new sushi restaurant opened at the Four Corners in Penfield, an area that has seen a modest restaurant boom over the past couple of years. In an area that already boasted established Chinese and Thai restaurants, in addition to several other offerings, sushi was a welcome addition to the scene. Even better, I discovered, Kakachi Japanese Restaurant delivers. Delivery sushi?

I might never call out for pizza again. So, in an effort to dispel the rainy gloom of the last couple of weeks, I headed to Penfield to check out this newest contender in the increasingly competitive slate of Japanese restaurants and sushi bars in the area.

Kakachi, managed by Alan Chen and owned by Toby Teng, has been open since April, but the place is so immaculate that it looks only a few days old: the red lanterns in the front window are fresh and unfaded

by the sun, the woodwork gleams, and the tables have none of the marks and dings that you normally associate with busy restaurants. Even the boats full of live bamboo lattices decorating the dining room look like they were brought in that morning rather than more than half a year ago. Kakachi is pristine, a condition that is not just desirable, but essential if one of your primary menu items happens to be extremely fresh raw fish.

Supremely fresh fish is what Kakachi serves, and the restaurant’s two sushi chefs, who share the tiny space behind the sushi bar, are true masters of the craft, delivering beautifully cut slices of sashimi, expertly assembled nigiri, and tight and beautifully composed maki rolls seven days a week, 10 to 11 hours a day. Their work is exacting, tasty, and occasionally exciting. Kakachi rarely surprises you, but it produces consistently good sushi at very reasonable prices, and there is certainly something to be said for consistency and value.

Those searching for the perfect balance of

price and value will want to visit (or get take-out) from Kakachi at lunchtime, when you can score a sushi or sushi-deluxe lunch for between $10 and $12. Starting with

a bowl of briny miso soup and an iceberg lettuce salad dressed with tangy ginger dressing, the regular lunch provides you with five nigiri (two slices each of salmon and tuna along with a single slice of fluke atop flattened balls of sushi rice) and a whole California roll for $9.95. For two bucks extra you get two more nigiri and a spicy tuna roll ($11.95). This deluxe lunch is the better value, in part because the spicy tuna roll is much better than the California roll (which is also quite good).

Spicy tuna is one of those fortuitous combinations discovered by thrifty sushi chefs, a way to use the trimmed ends of very expensive tuna that would otherwise go to waste. Mix those trimmings with hot chili paste, fish roe, and mayonnaise, however, and you get the stuffing for one of my favorite rolls — spicy, creamy, and meaty punctuated with the pleasant pop of exploding fish eggs.

The combination of mayonnaise, chili, and fish roe is used to good effect elsewhere on the menu. On my first visit to the sushi bar the chef handed me a plate heaped with a salad made of shredded cucumber, daikon, and imitation crab, dressed with spicy mayo, topped with gorgeously thin slices of avocado and finished with a scattering of black and white sesame seeds — a delicious and

Spicy tuna also hides under a layer of fishroe and chili-spiked mayo in the Orchid Roll, easily the most interesting roll on the menu ($12.95). Instead of the usual combination of nori and sushi rice, the Orchid Roll uses a wrapper made out of soy beans to contain the crab, shrimp, and spicy tuna inside of it. The resulting roll looks like it might be wrapped in paper, but that paper dissolves on the tongue, allowing its contents to spill out and mingle with the slices of fluke, tuna, and basil leaves atop each slice. The absence of rice renders the flavors and textures more vivid and distinct than they would otherwise be.

In traditional sushi, rice is a neutral platform for slices of fish, a carrier of wasabi or sauce. At Kakachi, you can get your sushi, or in my case, your chirashi, with brown rice instead of white — a more nutritious alternative in these healthconscious times. Kakachi’s online menu features links to articles touting the benefits of brown over white rice, and I have to admit that I was skeptical. In the right context flavorful brown rice can be wonderful, but where it’s supposed to be a supporting player, I thought it might be too much.

Chirashi is normally among the simplest of dishes: a bowl of rice topped with an assortment of sashimi garnished with wedges of a dense, sweet omelet known as tomago ($15.95). Kakachi serves all that uber-fresh fish atop a salad of long, intertwined strands of daikon and carrot, putting the rice in a bowl to the side. With stronger-tasting fish like eel, salmon, and even tuna, the brown rice is a nice complement, but it completely overwhelmed the subtle taste of white tuna and fluke. It may be a healthy alternative, but it’s not a perfect replacement for white rice by any means. My advice: stick to the white rice for your sushi, double up on the bran flakes at breakfast, and keep Kakachi’s delivery menu handy when the snow starts to fly. rochestercitynewspaper.com City 17

Angella & Her One-Man Band Tuesday, October 26 Little Theatre Café, 240 East Ave. 7:30-9:30 p.m. | Free | thelittle.org [ MULTI-GENRE ] Earlier this year City Newspaper

held its first Best Busker Contest, in which roughly two-dozen local musicians played on the sidewalks of the East End. Hundreds of people came out and voted multi-instrumentalist Tom “Pops” Mark one of the winners. If you missed Mark at the event, he’ll be playing the Little Theatre Café this week as part of his prize. The “Angella” in the group’s name is vocalist Angella Cocchiara, who along with Mark (the “oneman band” part, playing recorder, ukulele, banjo, mandolin, sax, and guitar) will perform music from Broadway to bluegrass, jazz to country, folk to kid’s music, and more. — BY ERIC REZSNYAK

Just about every band currently in existence shows signs of some classic influence. Whether it’s blues, soul, r&b, or rudimentary rock ’n’ roll, one or more of these elements dominates. When bands deviate into unexplored territory, originality and/or chaos can ensue.

Rochester rockers Jellyroot fall into that category of exploratory originality, even though Jellyroot is still undoubtedly a rock ’n’ roll band. The riffs, the beats, the songs all scream rock ’n’ roll, but I’ll be damned if I can put my finger on where the band is coming from. It’s this mystery, along with the band’s tight musicianship, that made its performance so cool last Thursday night at the Bug Jar. The quartet pumped out its mysterious heart and soul to an almost empty room. It wasn’t weird per se, but rather evasively clever and cool in its relative simplicity. The sad thing is, as the band progresses and tightens its approach, this glorious genre-neutrality may get lost.

Stay out there, boys. It’s fresh and cool, and it’s still rock ’n’ roll.

The members of Jellyroot were the majority of the audience when headliners The TV Buddhas took the stage later that evening with its pure Israeli lo-fi muscle.

It was a blues set-up a la Sir Jeffrey Evans — two guitars, drums, and no bass — but didn’t really dig into the blues or roots. The trio was powerful and loud, with its primary motivation coming from its brilliant guitar tones and the drums’ primitive assault.

You know, the downtown scene seems tough lately; fans aren’t there or don’t listen, the hours are long, the pay is low — but hey, it’s showbiz. If you want to dig people digging live music you’ve got to hit the ’burbs every now and again. Saturday night I caught the Brian Dudley Band at The Landing in Fairport. Dudley is a player’s player. You’ve heard him before in Bee Eater and Bangers ’N’ Trash. His current outfit has him noodling on the Dead or Deadinspired for the most part. The crowd in the joint ate it up, and I did, too. Dudley’s fluid lines and runs kept the crowd on its feet and rocking while my wife stripped me of whatever dignity I had left at the pool table.

Wednesday, October 20

So despite advancing technology and shifting tastes, you’ve stayed on top?

You could put it that way. I’ve managed to keep my head above water.

You’ve been involved in so many causes over the years. What are you passionate about today?

Well, I’m passionate about all of them that I ever was. I’m just not on the front lines right now. I’m spending time with my family, like my 97-year-old mom. You know, I didn’t spend that much time with my family when I was so politically active, so a lot of it is that, and figuring out how to deal with relaxing — not an easy thing to do. In the States, the two things I’m involved in are Amnesty International with the death penalty and immigration.

Are you a musician that’s an activist or an activist that’s a musician?

What’s changed is everything Joan Baez Saturday, October 23 Auditorium Theatre, 885 E Main St. 8 p.m. | $42.50-$75 | 800-745-3000, rbtl.org [ INTERVIEW ] By Frank De Blase

It’s hard to believe that Joan Baez’s first album was recorded 50 years ago. Her vibrato-laden voice still gives life to folk music far beyond its surface appeal. It was through Baez that bands like The Byrds, The Animals, and Led Zeppelin discovered traditional songs to augment their sets.

Coming from an era where activism meant action, Baez has rubbed elbows with Dr. Martin Luther King, Cesar Chavez, Nelson Mandela, Vaclav Havel, and inadvertently introduced the world to Bob Dylan. This all from a lady who, as a teenager, was turned on to folk music by The Kingston Trio’s “Tom Dooley.”

Baez began her musical career by performing in coffeehouses around the Boston/Cambridge area, and it was her unbilled performance in front of more than 1300 fans at The Newport Folk Festival in 1959 that brought her to the fore. Her first three albums went gold, and 20 City OCTOBER 20-26, 2010

fans began referring to her as the “Queen Of Folk.” Known more as an interpreter than a songwriter, Baez has still managed to make her mark on the material she touches, from seminal artists like Phil Ochs, Woody Guthrie, and Pete Seeger to contemporary luminaries like Ryan Adams and Steve Earle.

Baez is currently on a stripped-down run of tour dates before she takes some muchneeded down time. She took a few minutes to answer some questions. This woman has done so much, I didn’t know where to start.

It was a bit intimidating. Here’s an edited transcript of what I got.

CITY: So, what’s new?

Joan Baez: The newest thing is I’m traveling

without a band, I just have one musician to back me up. He plays about six instruments.

In the time you’ve been in the music business, what’s changed and what’s remained the same?

What’s changed is everything. What’s remained the same for me is my ability to give concerts, make albums. I’m lucky because the music business has been stood on its head, but I’ve managed to find a way to keep going.

Probably a musician who’s an activist. I guess I’ll go back to the slogan of a Swedish ambassador who put himself in a lot of dangerous situations. His quote was, “I cannot tolerate injustice.”

What’s the most memorable of all the historic events you’ve been involved with?

The first thing that comes into my head is Martin Luther King’s march on Washington.

Did you realize at the time what the impact of that event would be?

With things like that you do have an idea. It’s too extraordinary to just go away.

What is it about folk music that makes it so reactionary and socially active?

Well, it’s just that it isn’t any fun without it.

Music is the only thing that can cross barriers.

I wouldn’t want to be involved in social change that didn’t have music, and I’ve never been involved in any that didn’t have music.

Most of the songs you’ve recorded are standards or tunes written by other artists.

Where do you come in?

I haven’t written a song in over 20 years, which means I’ve had to do a lot of personalizing of other people’s music.

But how does it become yours?

It just seems if I do it for a little bit and not listen to the place I learned it — I learn everything by ear — it becomes my own.

What in a song resonates with you to the point you want to perform it?

You know, I never really figured that out. It kind of sounds trite, but the song chooses me.

REGGAE | El Ka Bong

While the rhythm section has you convinced that this is a reggae outfit, the swirling organ and lilting vocals attest to more than that. Let this Geneva-based band in and you’ll feel all kinds of good. The band is releasing its debut disc, “Con Queso,” an album full of the band’s sexy textures and hooks that hover dynamically with a positive push and excellent musicianship. And those vocals! Laura Black’s voice is haunting and seductive in its honesty, and deceptive in its simplicity. The Brothers Shamus and Influent also perform at this CD release show.

PUNK | The Casualties

Purity isn’t necessarily the first word that comes to mind when talking about The Casualties, but this New York outfit is about as pure punk rock as a punk band can be. Since the early 1990’s, The Casualties have stayed true to punk’s sound and aesthetic despite its line-up’s revolving door. On stage the band is all break-neck chaos and transgressive defiance and fun; GBH with more hang time. The band’s most recent SideOneDummy release, “We Are All We Have,” is more of the band’s classic sound and attitude.

The Casualties open up for GWAR Sunday, October 24, 7:30 p.m. at Water Street Music Hall, 204 N Water St. $20.50-$25. 325-5600, waterstreetmusic.com.

POP | Frankie Rose & the Outs

I was immediately interested when somebody mentioned Mo Tucker while describing Frankie Rose. Rose’s past projects have striking similarities to Tucker’s work in The Velvet Underground, as well as other nods to lo-fi garage, reverb, and Motown tunes. This Brooklyn band’s new selftitled LP mixes dreamy pop with the aforementioned goodies and the ominous mystery of primal fidelity. It’s what I like to call “cool.” Woven Bones and Object also perform.

POP/ROCK | Runner Runner

Runner Runner is well positioned for a mainstream breakthrough. Mashing a solid guitar-rock base with high-energy, amped-up pop songs has yielded success for plenty of others, most recently groups like Metro Station and Good Charlotte. And while it may be possible to mistake one band for another, the musicianship on display with Runner Runner is readily apparent. Not too bad for a group that originally started out as a side project for another band, Over It. The band released its self-titled debut album earlier this year and is currently out to support it, featuring plenty of songs with chant-along choruses.

Three new Monroe hotspots [ THE SCENE ] BY MARK SHIPLEY

Monroe Avenue is an ever-changing nightlife destination, with new businesses frequently sprouting up where old ones once stood. But its bar-hopping appeal remains the same. Here are three new spots to check out while out on the town.

Living Room Café may not look like much on the outside, but inside you’ll find something pretty cool. Set in the Upper Monroe neighborhood, the coffee house/art gallery features a hand-painted ceiling, funky fixtures, and colorful walls filled with artwork by local artists. “We’ve always loved the neighborhood and wanted to provide a venue for local artists to sell,” says Chris Hilfiker, who co-owns the business with his partner Allison Mayer.

The cozy spot affords excellent people watching, with comfortable seating indoors and out. The café offers several blends of coffee, as well as an array of desserts, including something called a “Smurf Cake” that comes in a variety of flavors for $2. If you’re looking for a first-date destination, Living Room offers a “You, Me & $5” special, which gets you two cups of coffee and a slice of cheesecake to share.

Living Room Café is located at 1118 Monroe Avenue, and is open SundayThursday 7 a.m.-10 p.m.; Friday-Saturday 7 a.m.-11 p.m. Free WiFi is available. For more information call 413-0833.

Rehab Lounge recently took over the space

next to Pittsford Seafood that was briefly occupied by The Angry Duck. Gone are the stark white walls, blazing neon signs, and funky smells. They’ve been replaced with a soothing chocolate brown interior, comfortable wood furniture, mood lighting, and a lounge area with club chairs in front of a large fireplace.

We popped into Rehab one Friday evening for happy hour. The crowd was a bit older than expected, but it was still a bit early for the college crowd. After ordering a pitcher of Labatt Blue, the three of us sat watching one of the six flat-screen TVs installed around the room while chatting. The music and lighting were just right so that no one had to squint or yell.

The bar offers a standard beer selection featuring Budweiser, Labatts, Magic Hat, and Yuengling, along with various wines such as Kendall Jackson and Black Opal Cab Merlot.

Rehab is located at 510A Monroe Avenue, and is open Monday-Friday 4 p.m.2 a.m. and Saturday-Sunday noon-2 a.m. For more information call 442-9165.

Full disclosure: I have known Don and Kelly Bush, owners of the new Marshall Street Bar & Grill, for years. Though the interior of Marshall Street is similar to that of former tenant Damian’s Pub, the philosophy has changed. “We want to make this place more of a destination

rather than a pass-through bar. We’d like to attract the neighborhood, and everyone who comes here should feel comfortable,” Don says.

It was a full house at the bar’s grand opening on October 1, with a crowd that was as diverse as Monroe Ave itself. But given the size of the venue, it didn’t feel cramped.

One particular feature of the bar’s new layout stood out: the gaming area in the back, with darts, a pool table, and a pinball machine.

Now you can sit in the main area and enjoy your drinks or a meal without the sound of pool balls whacking together or darts flying past your head.

Marshall Street offers a wide selection of beers on tap, including Hop Devil, Bass, Blue Moon, and Guinness, with microbrews available in cans and bottles.

It also offers eco-friendly Bandit wines. I was a bit leery, but people used to poo-poo screw-top wines, and now they’re gaining acceptance. The kitchen at Marshall Street is open until 2 a.m. and features comfort foods like sloppy Joes, fried baloney sandwiches, and as a starter, beer-battered hot dog bites.

Marshall Street Bar & Grill is located at 81 Marshall Street, right off Monroe, and is open Monday-Saturday 11 a.m.2 a.m., Sunday noon-2 a.m. For more information call 325-2191 or visit marshallstreetbarandgrill.com.

GRAND Classical RE-OPENING CELEBRATION!

in 1972. And by 1974, at age 25, Harman had earned his DMA in clarinet performance from the Eastman School of Music.

By the mid-1980’s, while serving as director of orchestra activities at the University of Louisville, Harman had to decide between becoming a professional clarinetist or conducting. His performance credentials included a 1981 Carnegie Recital Hall performance and several recordings with the British Broadcast Company between 1976 and 1982.

In 1993, Harman became a professor of music and director of orchestral activities at the University of Rochester, as well as conductor and music director of the Rochester Philharmonic Youth Orchestra. Seventeen years later, Harman still holds these positions.

David Harman conducts more than six local orchestras; this season alone he will lead them through 23 programs. PHOTO PROVIDED

The people’s conductor Cordancia Sinfonietta David Harman, Guest Conductor Saturday, October 23 Rochester Christian Reformed Church, 2750 Atlantic Ave, Penfield 7:30 p.m. | Free | cordancia.org

Penfield Symphony Orchestra Monday, October 25 Penfield High School, 25 High School Drive, Penfield 7:30 p.m. | $12-$14 | penfieldsymphony.org [ PROFILE ] BY PALOMA CAPANNA

His e-mail politely noted that I might like a copy of his 2010-2011 concert schedule ahead of the interview we had just arranged.

Later that afternoon, I reviewed conductor David Harman’s five-page schedule of six groups in 23 programs. It confirmed — fortissimo — what I already suspected: David Harman is the people’s conductor in Rochester’s classical-music community.

“Conductors basically develop along two tracks,” Harman said in a recent interview.

“Those who conduct professional orchestras, and 26 City october 20-26, 2010

those who conduct…” he paused, mid-sentence.

“Everybody else?” I asked. Harman agreed.

This season alone, Harman will conduct the Rochester Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, the Penfield Symphony Orchestra, the University of Rochester Symphony Orchestra, the University of Rochester Chamber Orchestra, Strong Medical Orchestra, and selected works for Cordancia Sinfonietta. Harman’s baton will wave over musicians from age 11 to early 80’s.

The news of the day at the time we sat down for the interview was that the Penfield Symphony Orchestra will now be conducting auditions for new members due to the steady increase in its popularity. It is a point of pride for Harman, who is the group’s music director.

Born and raised in California, Harman

caught the classical-music bug at an early age, listening to his grandmother play the piano and listening to a classical radio station he could only tune in at night. “The joy of classical music is so strong — once you hear it, you’re drawn in,” he says.

In 1970 Harman received his bachelor’s degree in music from California State University at Sacramento, where he also earned his master’s degree in music and woodwind performance in 1971. He won a Fulbright Scholarship to study at the Paris Conservatory

Brahms 1. He was playing clarinet in the undergraduate orchestra at Cal State. “And I thought, Isn’t this amazing? I have to see what’s going on from more than just my point of view,” he says. Early on, Harman used to write in “huge amounts” all over his scores. “At one point, on the Brahms 1, I harmonically analyzed every note.”

When asked about his favorite works, Harman gave a diplomatic answer with the finesse of his sojourn as an arts ambassador to Slovenia in 1995: “If I’m lucky it’s the one I’m conducting,” he said. But just moments later, he lit up. “Mahler 9 would be good, but the required skill level would be very high,” he said. “The 8 would be astounding!” He has already conducted the 1, 2, and 5.

Harman’s future may well include Mahler’s 8th or 9th symphonies. Harman credited the high standards of Rochester musicians as the reason he intends to stay. “Rochester has a fabric of music throughout,” he said. “There are many lifelong musicians who continue to play for the joy of it. These groups can realistically play demanding repertoire.”

Harman fondly recalled a performance of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony he conducted at the Eastman Theater in 2005 with four area groups to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the University of Rochester Orchestra. “It was standing-room only during a snowstorm.

It was magical,” he said. “It was people putting out their very best.”

On that note, I ask Harman what else he’d like to share with City readers. “Take advantage to get out and go to concerts,” he says. “Life with music is a risky experience. You don’t know how you will walk away. It’s mutual support — it’s the loop. Musicians give freely of themselves, the audience interacts with that, and that’s what makes concerts an art.”

He’ll perform Saturday, October 23, at 9 p.m. But there’s plenty more comedy to take in, from specific troupe performances to workshops to multi-group mash-ups, all culminating in a festival-ending game show featuring various participants at 11 p.m. on Saturday.

Shows will take place at various spaces in Village Gate Square (274 N. Goodman St.) Shows cost $5-$15, while workshops cost $29-$61. Visit improvvip.com to purchase tickets and view the full schedule, or call 797-9086 for more information.

Dance

Kids Events

And audiences seem to be responding.

Only a year old, FuturPointe has already scored several New York City performances (one at Dance Theater Workshop, for instance) and throughout the state, including a hometown appearance at this summer’s Nazareth College Art Center Dance Festival.

The company uses art installations, short films, and direct images to help convey emotional themes or develop an idea. “We enjoy collaboration,” Thorne says. “That is the way dance should be heading — sharing talent. Creating together. Enhancing your work with our work and our work with your work. Connecting.”

The diversity of the company’s global dance styles will be in evidence during its run at Geva. Work presented will include Thorne’s “Mashramani,” which blends contemporary dance with Jamaican folklore; “Tangere,” an Argentine tango-inspired suite by Roffe; and a modern African piece by company member Melinda Phillips.

Biodance October 23-24 & 28-29 Geva Theatre Nextstage, 75 Woodbury Blvd. $15-$20 each; $30 for both companies | 232-4382, gevatheatre.org [ PREVIEW ] BY CASEY CARLSEN

Geva Theatre is hosting not one, but two young Rochester dance companies, on its Nextstage over the coming two weekends.

The work of both FuturPointe Dance and Biodance represents an emerging trend in dance — the inclusion of multimedia, particularly video imagery, in performances.

The dance styles of the two companies, however, are divergent enough to offer pleasingly contrasting shows. And the small house and raked seating at Nextstage should make it a particularly enticing venue for dance, allowing audiences a more intimate experience.

FuturPointe is the lovechild of Guy Thorne, who was a soloist with Garth Fagan 30 City october 20-26, 2010

Dance for more than seven years, and two of his contemporaries — Heather Roffe, who also danced for Fagan, and N’Jelle Gage, who served as assistant artistic director of Jamaica’s renowned L’Acadco Dance Company before relocating to Rochester to co-direct with Thorne and Roffe.

“This is something I’ve had in my head for a long time,” Thorne says. “I wanted to inspire people, uplift them. For most of my dance career a lot of the dances I performed didn’t do that for me. There came a time when I wanted to share how I saw the world.”

FuturPointe Dance defines itself as a fusion company. That is, it combines dancers with a variety of training and choreographic styles from a variety of genres, including modern dance, Caribbean, reggae/ dancehall, Latin African, and ballet. The company’s goal is to broaden contemporary dance’s appeal, to enlarge its audience.

“We’re not trying to speak to your mind.

We speak to your spirit,” Thorne says.

“You don’t have to understand technique to enjoy our work,” Roffe says.

“We’re trying to broaden the experience of dance. We encompass multiple voices from varied backgrounds.”

Missy Pfohl Smith created Biodance in New York City in 2002; a few years later she relocated to Rochester and, slowly, filled her company with new dancers. Its first official performance was in 2008 at the University of Rochester, where Smith is now director of the dance and movement program. Biodance is a contemporary company notable for Smith’s sleek choreography, the social consciousness of many of her pieces, and the dancers’ ability to infuse their movements with meaning and humor.

Smith is excited about this weekend’s premiere of “Our Story is Your Story,” a piece that she was inspired to create after holding a public series of multi-generational dance workshops in which participants moved from sharing memories and conversations to channeling that content into movement. An art grant from the Arts and Cultural Council of Greater Rochester financed the project. The cast ranges in age from 15 to 60 years and includes a wide array of guest artists, including dance therapist Danielle Fraenkel, who will dance the stories of her mother surviving the Holocaust.

“The dances tell people’s stories, but they’re more metaphorical, not always clear cut,” Smith says.

During the Geva residency Smith’s group will also take on another weighty topic, but lighten it with humor. “Guzzle!” includes multimedia special effects to take consumers to task for their blind consumption of dwindling natural resources. “Web We Weave” is a quartet Smith choreographed in 2008; it features Julie Schlafer, Courtney World, Laura Regna, and Stuart Tsubota portraying people in intermingling relationships. The dancers push and tug each other, then counter with supporting lifts and holds, depicting the intricate balancing inherent in relationships.

SPECIAL EVENT | Mt. Hope Torchlight Tours/ Landmark Ghost Walk

My mother recently moved into town, and I’m eager to get her acquainted with the landmarks, lore, and other things I love about Rochester. A good way to accomplish all three is to take part in one or both historical and spooktacular tours offered this weekend.

On Fridays and Saturdays, October 22-30, the Landmark Society will reprise its annual “Ghost Walk.” Meet at the Lutheran Church of the Incarnate Word (597 East Ave), from which tours will depart every 10 minutes from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

As you journey from one performance station to the next, true and gory tales from Rochester’s past will be recounted by lantern-bearing, “recently returned Rochesterians” in period costumes. The tour will be capped off with Halloween refreshments upon your return to the church. Advance tickets are $10-$15, or $18 at the door. For more information, call 546-7029, or visit landmarksociety.org.

If you’re looking for something with even spookier atmosphere check out the torch-lit tours of Mount Hope Cemetery (tours begin at the Cemetery Gatehouse, North Entrance, 791 Mount Hope Ave opposite Robinson Drive) on Saturday, October 23, or Tuesday, October 26. Hear unusual stories about Rochester’s early residents while you tread through the terrain of the enormous Victorian cemetery. Tours begin at 5:45 p.m. and leave every 10 minutes through 8:30 p.m. Tickets cost $7 and available at all area Wegmans stores, or $10 at the door, with free admission to all children under age 15. For more info, visit fomh.org or call 461-3494. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Maureen McGovern, famed for her soundtrack hits from the 70’s and a distinguished Broadway career, tells her life story through song in “Carry It On,” now at Geva Theatre. PHOTO BY KEN HUTH

On the cusp of being wondrous “Carry It On” Through November 14 Geva Theatre Center, 75 Woodbury Boulevard $22-$59 | 232-GEVA, gevatheatre.org [ REVIEW ] BY MICHAEL LASSER

I resent the way younger generations than mine have reduced the standing ovation — the highest praise an audience can give — to an exercise in obligatory self-indulgence. But when Maureen McGovern finished her onewoman show, “Carry It On,” at Geva Theatre Center last Saturday night, I was on my feet with everyone else. She is a singer and actor of persuasive directness and warmth, blessed with a supple, expressive voice. She seems to be incapable of singing without intelligence, passion (no matter how quiet), humor (where relevant), and conviction. Long known for her four-octave range, she deserves to be equally well known for her emotional range. She sang equally well a ballad in the face of heartbreak and a medley of songs of many styles linked humorously by their use of nonsense syllables.

I can’t think of a song I care about that I wouldn’t trust her with.

“Carry It On” is a new show, McGovern explained in a recent interview, a third incarnation of what started as a typical 34 City october 20-26, 2010

promotional tour following the release of her 2008 CD, “A Long and Winding Road,” devoted to such singer/songwriters as Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, and James Taylor. In the course of an hour-and-40-minute performance, done without intermission, she emphasized mainly the folk-like ballads of the 1970’s — the songs that she grew up on and that initially defined her musical life. She is now 61, but her voice possesses the fluidity and strength of someone 25 years younger.

“Carry It On” is far removed from all those autobiographical cabaret acts that clutter up so many small clubs in big cities. McGovern and co-author and director Philip Himberg have written what she calls a “theatrical musical memoir” that tells stories from her life and finds their emotional counterparts in the songs of her time. It sounds straightforward and familiar enough, but it is also compelling, even deeply moving, because McGovern tells it so well, and because the collaborators have been willing to break the narrative line to weave disparate events together and link them through music for greater emotional effect. It also helps that she receives such strong accompaniment from pianist Jeffrey Harris.

McGovern can belt and whisper in the same song, but her musical acrobatics are never for mere show. Because she knows how to “read” a melody and a lyric insightfully, she can

lift an otherwise ordinary song to a level of rare artistry through the character of her singing.

She rediscovers each song, no matter how familiar it is. The story of the death of a high school friend in the 1970 Kent State massacre led, for instance, to Paul McCartney’s treaclelike “Let It Be,” but McGovern’s trenchant singing transformed it into an acceptance of heartbreak and an assertion of determination.

Because most of the songs from the 1970’s lack any sense of jazz or theatricality, the narration creates a series of set pieces in which McGovern interweaves talk and song to create rhythm and movement. She stands stock still only when her voice alone carries a song’s emotional burden. Otherwise, she walks, turns her back and talks over her shoulder, watches a film clip with us, or walks down a few steps to be closer to the audience. Together, these elements combine seamlessly to create a sense of drama, even of theater. Projection Designer Maya Ciarrocchi’s nuanced linking of projections of photographs and film clips from the time helped to propel the narrative forward suggestively and satisfyingly.

I’m older than the Baby Boomers, a little too old to have The Beatles in my blood, but also too young to be part of the Greatest Generation, even though I remember World War II and its great songs of longing and hope. Perhaps that’s why I found the set piece about McGovern’s father the most moving of all as it culminated with the English wartime anthem, “(There’ll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover,” sung with sadness and hope, and then segued seamlessly to the Civil Rights movement and one of its great anthems, the spiritual-like “Carry It On.” Last Saturday’s performance of this much-more

theatrical version of the show was McGovern’s first. That may explain why the bantering in the first 15 minutes felt arch; perhaps she hasn’t yet taken full possession of the material. She also stumbled over too many lines, a problem that should quickly disappear as she settles in.

The performance also needed to get itself past an image of a frightening MRI and CAT scan that propels McGovern’s recollection, but felt dramatically contrived even though it really happened. At the end, a taped male voice dismisses the potentially life-threatening ailment with an easy, “You’re fine.” It is an important moment, but it is also the only time this dramatizing of a life fell flat on its face.

Two related themes run through McGovern’s story, just as they do in so many popular songs — a refusal to give up hope combined with a need to do things one’s own way despite the restraints people always encounter. But the good Catholic girl from Youngstown, Ohio, is all grown up now. In fact, she has become one of the most authoritative singers of the last halfcentury. In this show, she is already wonderful and stands on the cusp of being wondrous.

SPECIAL EVENT | BarCamp Rochester

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to make an HDTV antenna, pick any lock, or dabble in a crash course titled “Dating for Nerds,” BarCamp Rochester, coming to the RIT campus this weekend, may be for you. BarCamp is an “unconference” — a modernized version of a traditional conference that tries to avoid high fees and sponsored presentations — that brings together designers, developers, marketing types, engineers, artists, thinkers, and tinkerers to share their knowledge and presentations.

The event aims for participants to share their knowledge in “wiki-style,” meaning topics are open and everybody speaks or helps out; BarCamp’s schedule is developed by the attendees.

Anyone interested in the bleeding edge of modern technology is welcome. Despite the open-nature environment, the event will encourage an away-from-it-all atmosphere for better focus and cross-pollination between minds.

BarCamp will be held in the Golisano Building (building 70) on the RIT campus Saturday, October 23, 9 a.m.-10 p.m. The event is free. Register at barcamproc.org. Wi-Fi is available throughout the event. — BY CAITLIAN SHAPIRO Stained Glass Classes with Jim Ingalls.

[ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“Red” (PG-13), directed by Robert Schwentke Now playing

Whatever else it accomplishes — which is in fact quite a lot — “Red” endorses the perfectly justified cultural paranoia of the general public’s attitude toward certain areas of the United States government. It reaffirms the virtually universal and reflexive distrust of the Central Intelligence Agency, which serves as the collective villain of dozens of contemporary films. The movie’s bang-bang plot motors along at a ferocious rate, fueled by its simple theme, the unquestioning

assumption that the CIA will happily slaughter any number of American citizens at the behest of a high-ranking administrative official.

Although the movie mixes a good deal of high-spirited comedy in its many sequences of violent action, it also shows, in the contemporary manner, the actual consequences of that violence. Almost every sequence climaxes in the devastation of acres of real estate, the demolition of scores of automobiles, and the killing of hundreds of people, all accomplished through numerous explosions and thousands of bullets. It also shows that those acts result in certain stark realities — stacks of corpses and gallons of blood.

The movie’s title is an acronym standing for “Retired, Extremely Dangerous,” the designation the CIA applies to a group of former agents whose existence threatens a powerful member of the federal government.

The group consists of characters played by Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Morgan Freeman, and Helen Mirren, who find themselves under attack from a whole army of gunmen

under the command of a zealous pursuer (Karl Urban) hell-bent on eliminating them and thereby advancing his career.

The picture opens quietly enough with some moments from the daily routine of Frank Moses (Bruce Willis), a retiree who lives in a nondescript little house in an ordinary neighborhood in Cleveland. He chats on the phone with Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), a young woman he has a crush on who works in the bureau that deals with his pension. A gang of heavily armed men breaks into his house, expending thousands of rounds of ammunition in what seems an attempt at shredding him, turning the place into Swiss cheese, and initiating the energetic pursuits and constant shootouts that pretty much constitute the substance of the film.

Frank escapes of course, travels to Kansas City, kidnaps Sarah — whom the CIA also targets — and the two embark on an odyssey to various cities up and down the East Coast, eluding numerous pursuers, visiting other retired colleagues, and searching for the motives behind the attacks. They discover that the Agency seeks to kill a list of agents involved in an operation in Guatemala back in the 1980’s, an apparent allusion to some notorious incidents in the Reagan era; the CIA must silence anyone who knows the history to protect the vice president, who conducted the massacre and who fears its exposure will ruin his chance at the presidency.

Horse sense [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“Jackass 3D” (R), directed by Jeff Tremaine Now playing

“Secretariat” (PG), directed by Randall Wallace Now playing

Aside from all the amazing chases, crashes, explosions, and gun battles, the movie’s chief source of fun comes from the collection of characters who join Willis’ Frank in an attempt to foil the CIA and incidentally, save their own lives. His former colleagues played by Freeman, Malkovich, and Mirren, “extremely dangerous” as the title notes, like many retirees miss their old lives and yearn to return to their job, which for professional assassins of course means the business of killing.

Despite the movie’s somewhat disturbing celebration of murder, the personalities of the retirees makes it all good clean fun. Morgan Freeman’s disguise as an African dictator, in what looks like the dress uniform of a Ruritanian admiral, softens the fact of a startling and shocking death. John Malkovich’s utterly maniacal glee turns his incineration of a female antagonist into an occasion for laughter.

The film follows no real course of logic, proceeding instead through a linear series of increasingly violent climaxes, with no attempt to show the movement that joins them, but simply hurtling along from one place to another without the faintest effort to make sense of its own architecture or geography. The method creates a jumpy disconnection, presumably the director’s intention, but defies any serious notion of reason or plausibility. Of course, as I am sure everyone appreciates, the images of Helen Mirren wielding a heavy machine gun like a battle-hardened pro, wisecracking all the while, compensate for any number of omissions.

This is the part where I’m supposed to come up with something criticky to say about “Jackass 3D,” but that would entail giving it more rational thought than Johnny Knoxville and his indestructible goon squad probably ever have.

Seriously, there is no symbolism at play here. No allegories either. Steve-O isn’t enduring the “Poo Cocktail Supreme” (being shaken about in a brimming portable toilet) in protest of American imperialism. And Chris Pontius swinging his penis at a golf ball has zero to do with man’s inhumanity to man. The “Jackass” concept barely even qualifies as performance art, because there’s a decent chance that this juvenile, bone-breaking idiocy would still be happening without an audience. It’s that lack of agenda — the utter purity of doing something

simply to see what will happen — that makes “Jackass 3D” so totally f**king fun.

But don’t be too fooled by the foolishness; “Jackass” has always been quite savvy in its execution, staging set pieces for maximum impact, both visual and visceral.

While that typically means a blend of shock, nausea, and, for most onlooking dudes, a reflexive shielding of the groin, it’s almost always accompanied by nervous giggles or uncontrollable laughter. Not all the ideas work — I’ve never been a big fan of the crew’s “Candid Camera”-type interludes, which usually involve Knoxville and cocreator Spike Jonze in old-people disguises — but the daredevil stuff, like “Electric Avenue” (a Taser maze) as well as anything that might result in an animal biting, headbutting, or kicking someone in the nuts, can be downright exhilarating. And while the 3D seems unnecessary, I do have to admit I did swat at some virtual shrapnel.

Sure, much of “Jackass 3D” is beyond gross (“Volcano” and “Sweatsuit Cocktail” immediately spring to mind) and more than a little dangerous. (Fact: Boys love ramps.)

But the best part of “Jackass 3D” — the entire “Jackass” series, in fact — is the joyful camaraderie between the men. Ten years after it all began, Knoxville and the rest of the gang still crack each other up even as they’re writhing in pain. What’s surprisingly sweet is the trust that still somehow exists between them. For instance, why the hell would Ehren McGhehey ever agree to bring a tray of hot soup to the offices? (That’s in “High Five,” one of the film’s funniest bits.) Ryan Dunn actually sums it up when Pontius complains about a scorpion stinging his unsuspecting chin, which, in true “Jackass” fashion, is upside-down and wearing a little Viking helmet: “What did you think was gonna happen?”

Some media types are squawking about the Christian leanings of director Randall

Wallace’s “Secretariat,” and to that I say: so what? It’s an artist’s right to have a point of view, just as it’s your right to take what you want from the art in question — assuming, of course, that it’s entertainment actually worth ponying up for. (Sorry!)

The film tells what is apparently the richesto-greater-riches story of Penny Chenery Tweedy (Diane Lane), who took over her ailing father’s horse farm and won a feisty little foal in a coin toss. Red, better known as Secretariat, would go on to win horse racing’s coveted Triple Crown in 1973, a feat that’s only been accomplished one more time in the nearly four decades since.

We watch as the stubborn Tweedy goes up against a series of condescending men, including brash rival owner Pancho Martin (Nestor Serrano), whom the film, in need of some sort of conflict, unfortunately paints as a moustache-twirling ethnic.

Along the way, “Secretariat” attempts to mine both suspense and drama from history that is well-documented, and it might have been successful, in that “Seabiscuit” way, if the characters seemed even remotely lived-in. Everyone speaks in underdog sports-flick clichés (even poor John Malkovich as trainer Lucien Laurin), despite the fact that neither Secretariat nor Tweedy ever truly appear to be long shots.

On the plus side, “Secretariat” positively glows, as though the camera lens has been rubbed with buttercups, and there are a few thrilling you-arethere racing scenes. (Ignore, however, the silly shots of Secretariat and his nemesis Sham giving each other the eyeball.)

Wallace and screenwriter Mike Rich (“The Rookie,” a guilty-ish pleasure) might have given “Secretariat” more of a chronological context; it’s the early 70’s, but the film mentions neither Vietnam nor Watergate. And that Disney-fied reluctance to give the film any edge prevents it from leaving a lasting mark.

Swillburg Survivor

1174 South Clinton Avenue Things would have turned out a lot different for the close-knit and vibrant Swillburg neighborhood had the residents lost their decade-long battle over the Genesee Expressway in the 1970s. Interstate 390 was to have been extended north beyond the current I-390/590 split, running parallel to South Clinton Ave. and eventually merging with I-490 at Goodman St. The majority of the homes in Swillburg and the adjacent South Wedge neighborhood along South Clinton would have been destroyed in the name of commuter convenience.

Thanks to the efforts of the neighborhood associations and the ultimate wisdom of City Council the area was spared this horrible fate. Also spared was the handsome 1920sera foursquare house at 1174 South Clinton Ave. This house is an outstanding example of an “Arts and Crafts” foursquare. The funky porch columns and the wealth of leaded windows are but a preview of what can be found inside. The entrance hall is framed by twin pocket doors with full length leaded windows. Each door leads to the front living room and the rear dining area that features a large projecting bay window and a cozy alcove that looks out onto the two car garage and the spacious lawn behind the home. The living room features all-original crown molding, baseboards and wooden surrounds for the leaded glass windows and doors as well as the built-in bookcases to either side of the brick fireplace. Original woodwork can also be found throughout

the rest of the house with the counters, drawers and glass-paneled cupboards in the gorgeous pantry an especially fine example of the craftsmanship put into the design and construction of the home.

The master bedroom on the second floor is very spacious and once again features built-in cabinets of stained wood. A large closet with enough space for a home office setup and an enclosed porch that is shared with an adjacent bedroom complete the master suite. The master bathroom (there is another, smaller bath room on the first floor) and a third bedroom are also found on the second floor.

The 1664 square foot home at 1174 South Clinton sits on a spacious 40’ x 228’ lot and is a steal at $99,000. For that price you also get easy access to nearby elementary school #35 as well as the diverse offerings of the Swillburg, Highland, Field St. and South Wedge neighborhoods, all a short walk away. An open house is scheduled for this coming Sunday, October 24, from 2-4 p.m. Contact Gini Denninger at Goodman Realty (585-760-3880) for more details and to tour this consummate example of Rochester city living!
