INTERVIEW | BY FRANK DE BLASE | PAGE 12 | PHOTO PROVIDED
Matt & Kim: under no influence
Quirky Brooklyn geek duo Matt & Kim — Matt Johnson (keyboards, vocals) and Kim Schifino (drums, vocals) — shun the trappings of standard pop posturing (like, say, a clever name) and head straight for the cookie jar. They call it dance punk. There’s a splash of 80’s new wave along with big, bad beats. The duo started out full-on DIY, booking its own gigs and burning CDs in the van along the way. It has since gone on to bigger situations, like the Siren Music Festival and Lollapalooza. But the indie work ethic remains intact: the group’s second album, “Grand,” was recorded in Matt’s childhood bedroom.
Onstage the band is unselfconsciously energetic, full of unbridled glee. It’s like an inside joke that everyone is in on. This is one of the happiest bands you’ll ever see. Naturally, City was a little suspicious of all that sunshine, so music writer Frank De Blase asked Johnson about it when he called to chat about the group’s upcoming gig at Water Street Music Hall. Check out the edited transcript of the conversation, including Johnson’s scandalous take on 80’s electro pop.

Back to school?
In “Nazareth Builds Its Health-Care Muscle” (October 6), Tim Macaluso writes: “There is even a diverse range of job opportunities in social work, a career with about as much demand as beekeeping 30 years ago.” Now, I understand that Macaluso was trying to put a positive spin on the occupational outlook for social work, but he clearly has no idea of the past, present, and future need for professional social-work services. The latest Occupational Handbook of the Bureau of Labor Statistics says, “Employment for social workers is expected to grow faster than the average (i.e., 14-19 %) for all occupations through 2018. Job prospects are expected to be favorable (i.e., job openings compared with job seekers may be in rough balance), particularly for social workers who specialize in the aging population or work in rural areas.” Any social worker will also know that this has generally been the language used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the past 40 years. There have been economic bad times and good times, but social-work education has continued to turn out employable and employed professional practitioners as long as I have been a social worker. Of course, Macaluso is also clearly out of touch with the importance of beekeeping: Without bees, City
we will be in even more serious trouble with our food supply than we are now. In Australia alone (where most of the orders for queen bees from around the world are filled), crops which require pollination by bees, valued at almost $2 billion, as well as 11,000 jobs are at risk. Hive diseases, like varroosis, are decimating hive populations around the world. I think Macaluso is confusing income earned by an occupation with the demand for that occupation or profession. As a social worker as well as a former beekeeper, I am well aware of the importance of both roles and the continued increasing need for both. Mr. Macaluso needs to go back to school to learn something about which he writes. I suggest he look into the Nazareth College social-work program, unless, of course, he’d want to consider bee-keeping. MARSHALL L. SMITH, CALEDONIA
The election and same-sex marriage
The October 20 cover article, “Saving the Empire (State),” was very telling in regards to this paper’s politics. You excoriate the way things are done, but then, like the Democrat and Chronicle, go on to exempt any Republican, and endorse every Democrat — even though the Democrats have been running New York State the last two years — citing, as a primary reason, Republicans being against same-sex marriage. There can be no equality where there is inequity. You are comparing apples and oranges, with the expectation that no one will notice the difference. Sex means difference. “Same-sex marriage” is oxymoronic. It is two of the same being different. That cannot be in a realistic world, the one in which I, and most New Yorkers, live. Do I have a problem with gay marital relationships? Not in the least, if they, like most other ratio-
OCTOBER 27 - NOVEMBER 2, 2010
nal married couples, don’t flaunt their relationship in public. Unfortunately, the gay lifestyle seems to think they have a need to flaunt, and press, their lifestyle as if it is equal to, or better than, a heterosexual relationship. Again, they can’t be compared. They are different, regardless of the complaints to the contrary.
Finally, don’t be afraid to call President Obama a socialist. When someone owns auto companies, banks, and financial institutions; runs the health care and student loan program, and tells Joe the Plumber he supports wealth distribution, that person is a socialist. That person is Barack Obama.

Marriage and civil rights
Reclaiming religious liberty
I just finished reading your endorsements for this election, and I wanted to thank you for recognizing that same-sex marriage is an extremely important issue and that this is something to consider when deciding who to vote for in November. It means a lot to me that your paper takes this stance and acknowledges that denying a group of citizens their basic civil rights is something that must be rectified. ABIGAIL KOEHLER, ROCHESTER
Keep attacking, Tea Partiers
Some advice for the Tea Party and the candidates they support: Don’t be intimidated into not criticizing liberal office holders. The left wants to shut you up. They engage in personal attacks because Tea Party candidates have no records to criticize. But liberal pols do. And their records aren’t good. So let it all hang out and attack, attack, attack. Don’t be put on the defensive. If you’ve no record to defend and you’re on defense, you’ve already lost. Christine O’Donnell (Delaware) ran an ad saying she’s not a witch. Well, we all know that. She wasted an ad and dollars; it won’t help her. Instead, she should’ve called her opponent, Chris Coons, just what he’s claimed to be: a self-proclaimed Marxist. Meg Whitman, Carl Paladino, and Sharron Angle are all Republicans with no record who find themselves on the defensive.
With all of the emotion regarding a proposed Islamic Center in Lower Manhattan, we — Christian, Jew, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, members of other religious groups and of no religious group — stand up today. We stand up not only for our Muslim neighbors. Our passion is bigger than that. We stand up for the birthright of the United States. We stand up for religious liberty. A legitimate issue of public discussion regarding the construction of an Islamic Center two blocks from the site of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan has now swirled nearly out of control. The emotion has spilled into countless communities around the nation. Angry people believe that they have the right to halt construction of mosques and other Islamic sites. They are threatening both the sites and Muslim people themselves with words and violent intent. But religious liberty cannot be taken away by the crowd. It is there for all of us. It keeps us all secure. It is the wall that protects our conscience, our free right to worship or not to worship as we are led. Eternal vigilance in our nation has reaffirmed that right for Roman Catholics, Jews, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses and others. Vigilant now, we reaffirm it for Muslims. We will not stand for attacks on the principle of religious liberty. We will not sit by when our Muslim neighbors are threatened. We will not be silent when good people
are characterized as terrorists. We will not be still when politicians disregard the Constitution and label people unjustly. Therefore, we appeal to our silent neighbors: speak up gently if you can, firmly if you must. Engage your neighbors to dispel uninformed stereotyping of Muslims. Learn all you can about Islam. Enter into interfaith conversations. Memorize the opening words of the First Amendment of the Constitution: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Silence gives permission to hate. Exercise love of neighbor and love of liberty. America is the hope of the world if we can be America. Defend our freedom not with arms but with your own convictions. All of us were once strangers and outsiders. Welcome your sisters and brothers. We promise to do these things. RICHARD NEWELL MYERS, SCOTTSVILLE

urban journal | by mary anna towler
The Albany culture In early July, I was talking to Kent Gardner at the Center for Government Research about the problems with New York State’s government, hoping he would outline specific reforms that could fix things. Reforms we could all push for, that we could push candidates to push for. I was dismayed at Gardner’s answer. At their heart, he said, the problems are “probably cultural.” I thought about that comment last week as news of the latest Albany scandal erupted. According to the New York State inspector general’s office, Democratic leaders in the state Senate colluded with lobbyists for Aqueduct Entertainment Group to insure that AEG got the contract to build and run a casino operation at a Queens racetrack. Campaign donations, leaked information, favoritism: Democratic officials turned the competition for the contract into a “political free-for-all marked by unfair advantages and more than $100,000 in campaign donations,” says a press release from the inspector general’s office. Here, from the press release, are some of the IG’s conclusions: 1) “Governor Paterson’s office ignored expert advice from the state Budget Director and Division of the Lottery, which urged them to disregard AEG’s bid. AEG was financially precarious due to its heavy reliance on debt and significant licensing issues.” 2) “Senate leaders leaked bid analyses to AEG lobbyists which gave them an advantage.” 3) Senator John Sampson, the Senate’s conference leader, “likely pressured AEG to include a New York City contractor in the deal before he would select AEG as the winner.” 4) “Senator Malcolm Smith maintained a façade of recusal from the process but still advocated for AEG.” 5) Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, “who believed AEG was not the best choice, failed to actively participate in the process.” And how about this: Sampson gave inside information to AEG’s lobbyist, the report says, and sued to try to prevent the inspector general from getting records that he had given to the lobbyists. New York State has “developed a tolerance” for corruption, Gardner told me in July. “Maybe it goes all the way back to Tammany Hall.” Gardner cited Tammany Hall operative George Washington Plunkitt, who drew a distinction between “honest graft” and
New York seems to have developed a tolerance for corruption that dates back to Tammany Hall.” “dishonest graft.” Plunkitt, who served for years in the state Senate, made no bones about his own graft. In a series of speeches recorded and published by William Riordon, he gave examples. Supposing that he got inside information that the city planned to create a new neighborhood park, which would increase nearby property values. There’d be nothing wrong, Plunkitt said, if he bought up land near the site and then sold it at a profit when it became more valuable. “Let me tell you that most politicians who are accused of robbin’ the city get rich the same way,” Plunkitt said. “They didn’t steal a dollar from the city treasury. They just seen their opportunities and took them.” “Every good man looks after his friends,” Plunkitt said, “and any man who doesn’t isn’t likely to be popular. If I have a good thing to hand out in private life, I give it to a friend. Why shouldn’t X do the same in public life? There’s the Albany culture. “Twenty years ago,” Gardner said in July, “I thought institutions mattered, or laws, or structures. But it comes down to people, to culture.” “We have a political culture that in many cases is corrupt,” Gardner said. “Scandals are just endemic.” And while legislators may know that what they and others are doing is wrong, the corruption is simply part of the Albany culture. And it’s accepted — like driving 65 in a 55 mph zone. The odds that we can change that culture don’t seem good: Albany’s rigged system perpetuates the corruption. Incumbents almost always win, Gardner notes, ordinary legislators have little voice, and the leadership in both major parties seldom changes. Would term limits help? Probably, Gardner says. But I’m not going to hold my breath waiting for incumbents to set limits on their service — and their opportunities.

Irondequoit opposes offshore wind
The Irondequoit Town Board approved a resolution against a proposed Lake Ontario offshore windpower project. Irondequoit is the last lakeside town in Monroe County to oppose the project, which is being spearheaded by the New York Power Association. NYPA is reviewing proposals from several firms and has released little information about the project.

The federal government will give the State Department of Transportation $1.5 million toward construction of a new passenger rail station on Central Avenue. The money will be used for the planning and design of an intermodal station, says a press release from Congress member Louise Slaughter. The release says another $2.5 million should receive congressional approval by the end of the year.

Outcry over Grannis firing
Lyell Avenue neighborhood groups and Rochester police are claiming success in reducing prostitution. The Lyell Avenue area has been battling the problem for years, which residents say attracts other criminal activities into their neighborhoods. There have been 56 arrests made for prostitution crimes so far this year, and the conviction rate for those arrests has increased from last year.
Red eyes
Rochester’s red-light camera program went live at three intersections: Broadway and Alexander Streets; State and Jay; and North Street and Clifford Avenue. Officials say the intersections were selected based on crash data and video surveys. The program is designed to catch red-light runners. Cameras will eventually be at about 50 intersections.
Environmentalists are calling for Governor David Paterson (pictured) to reinstate former DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis. Grannis was fired for insubordination, but others say he was just telling an unpleasant truth. FILE Photo
The official line from Governor David Paterson’s administration is that Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Pete Grannis was fired for insubordination. Environmental groups and some state legislators, however, say Grannis was cut loose because he stood up for his severely understaffed agency. The situation stems from a memo drafted by the DEC at the governor’s request. It outlines the effect of the governor’s proposal to slash 200-plus jobs from the agency. The memo told of an agency in distress: one that has pared back essential programs because of staffing and funding cuts. The memo was subsequently leaked to the media, but Grannis says he wasn’t involved. “Here I am being called on the carpet for doing what we were supposed to do: for being asked to tell the administration what the cuts they want meant,” Grannis told the Albany Times Union, which first reported on the memo. “Apparently facts don’t sit well with this administration.”
The firing illuminated the DEC’s plight, though its problems were anything but a secret. The agency is dealing with increasing responsibilities but decreasing funding, says Dereth Glance, program director for Citizens Campaign for the Environment. The latest proposed staff cuts come at a time when the agency is preparing for a natural-gas drilling rush, which will put additional strain on the department. “It’s deplorable that Commissioner Grannis was fired for telling the truth,” Glance says. The local Sierra Club chapter rallied around Grannis and demanded that Paterson reinstate him. Sierra Club stalwart Hugh Mitchell says that an under-resourced DEC poses serious problems. For example, it’s been unable to publish and distribute an updated wetlands map. The original missed some wetlands, Mitchell says.

Cost of War “Teachers come and go, administrators come and go, but the culture stays behind. This is not about blame. In this case, we’re talking about dismantling the inequities that evolved over time.” [ ROCHESTER SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT MALIK EVANS ]
GOVERNMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE
EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Digging into special ed The Rochester school district has a disproportionately high number of special education students. With 6,271 or nearly 19 percent of its 33,226 students classified as special ed, Rochester has the highest percentage of any district in the state. And the overwhelming majority of these students are black or Hispanic. Research shows that black and Hispanic special education students, particularly males, are more likely than their white counterparts to be suspended and drop out of school, says Kirsten Barclay, special assistant to Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard. But the outcomes for many are much worse. “Black and Hispanic special ed students are four times more likely to be incarcerated than white special ed students,” Barclay says. “And Hispanic and Latino special ed students are almost twice as likely.” This has raised important questions for the district: what are the root causes of these disproportionate rates? And how can the district realistically expect to increase its graduation rate with so many black and Hispanic students classified as special ed? Disproportionality, a term used by educators, is the over-representation of a specific group of students in special education programs. It can also refer to the underrepresentation of a specific group.

Disproportionality has multiple indicators. For example, Rochester’s black special ed students are 2.08 times more likely to be suspended out of school for longer periods of time than white special ed students. It’s perhaps the district’s biggest indicator of disproportionality. “We’ve been cited by the State Education Department for having too many suspensions,” Barclay says. “I don’t know how you can not say this is a crisis.” Institutions develop a culture, says School Board President Malik Evans, which can be difficult to change. “Teachers come and go, administrators come and go, but the culture stays behind,” he says. “This is not about blame. In this case, we’re talking about dismantling the inequities that evolved over time.” To address the problem, the district has teamed with New York University’s Metropolitan continues on page 8

The not-so-free market Democrats in the County Legislature say that Monroe has permission to change how it issues permits for prepared food vendors at county farm markets. | The county currently issues the necessary permits for a period of no longer than 14 days, which can cost a vendor $1,200 for a full season’s worth of permits. | On Monday, Democrats released a letter from the State Department of Health that gives the county the go-ahead to issue permits for up to a year. That’s as long as the vendor is operating out of a single market and serving a consistent menu. The letter says the county can do this while state agencies evaluate and implement new guidelines regarding such permits. | Democratic Legislator Willie Lightfoot says that, when it comes time to vote on the county’s 2011 budget, he’ll introduce an amendment to lower the permit fees. | But county officials do not intend to change the permit process until new regulations are in place, says county spokesperson Noah Lebowitz. | The existing regulations are “legally binding,” he says, and the health department’s letter amounts to Governor David Paterson’s administration committing to actions that’ll happen under another.

The bald eagles that nest on the property, It turned out he hadn’t and the State however, are going to make it tough for Department of Environmental Conservation Daniele to carry out his plans. Bald eagles fined him. Daniele stopped harvesting before are a protected species and their presence the nest took hold in 2007.

Officials from the agencies say that balancing act.

The eagles would have to were nearly wiped out by habitat loss and the find a new nest or may leave the area all use of pesticides like DDT. Wildlife officials, together, they wrote. scientists, and environmentalists worked
Federal policies recommend that no timber harvesting or other activities occur within 330 feet of the nest. If Daniele applies for a permit, those recommendations will be considered as part of the permit review. And since the eagles that nest there have been producing offspring, the state and federal authorities may not budge. Federal law says that anyone who “takes” an eagle without a permit — “take” is a technical term that includes killing, wounding, or disturbing — faces fines or jail time. Daniele says a 330-foot buffer completely prevents him from using the property. The Fish and Wildlife Service reinforces that: “Based on the aerial map showing property lines, a majority of your property falls within the 330-foot buffer. We strongly recommend that you completely avoid any disturbance to the eagles,” the letter says. Daniele says the eagles most likely won’t be around during the proposed harvest time in November. Breeding season for bald eagles runs from January through August. Daniele says he has no problem with the
eagles or with the state taking steps to protect the nest. But if the government is going to prevent him from using his land, he says he should be compensated. Daniele has another problem, too: without his knowledge, he says, someone has put signs on the property warning people to stay away from the nest and saying the area is being monitored by video. And there’s fencing that blocks access to part of the property. Scott Sheeley, the DEC’s deputy regional permits administrator, says his department hasn’t been able to figure out who put up the signs. “I’m willing to cooperate,” Daniele says. “I’m fully cooperating with anything that we need to do. But at one point I’ve got to have some rights also.”

Center for Urban Education on what is being called the “Disproportionality Project.” Over the last seven years, NYU has developed a program that examines disproportionality and creates strategies to reduce it. The university has worked with other urban school districts on similar concerns, and is just beginning to work with the Buffalo and Syracuse school districts. The state is funding Rochester’s efforts. “What is leading our schools to refer so many students for special ed services?” Barclay says. “That is a huge part of our work.” The mainstream thinking among educators tends to emphasize the role of poverty, according to researchers Carla O’Connor and Sonia DeLuca Fernandez.

OCTOBER 27 - NOVEMBER 2, 2010
But that’s an oversimplification, they say in a 2006 article they co-wrote for Educational Researcher. Rather, they say, it’s a lack of understanding of cultural differences that “places minority students at heightened risk for special education placement.” There are many components to the Disproportionality Project. It challenges teachers and school leaders to closely examine everything from curriculum to policies and practices, says Marilyn Haile, the district’s special education school improvement specialist. But the program also devotes much attention to the “beliefs” of teachers and administrators, Haile says. A teacher who is less aware of cultural differences is more likely to misinterpret the behaviors of a low-income minority student, or to come to the classroom with a belief system that is less supportive. A common example is the belief that the student is “not ready” for school.
The Little Theatre will host an expert panel discussion on the documentary film “Waiting for Superman” at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, November 1. There will be a screening of the film followed by a discussion with Rochester Schools Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard; Sandy Parker, president of the Rochester Business Alliance; Adam Urbanski, president of the Rochester Teachers Association; Dirk
Hightower, director of the Children’s Institute and senior research associate at the University of Rochester; and Wade Norwood, director of community engagement for the Finger Lakes Health System Agency. Mary Anna Towler, editor and co-publisher of City Newspaper, will be the panel’s moderator. Tickets are $12 and available for presale through the Little’s box office or by calling (585) 258-0400 Ext. 400.
Creating sustainability
The Center for Environmental Information will hold an environmental sustainability workshop on Monday, November 1, and Tuesday, November 2. The two-day workshop will
“You may not see behavior that you see in the Pittsford school, but that doesn’t mean the student is special ed,” Barclay says. Culturally relevant curriculum is another area that the program emphasizes, says Brizard assistant Barclay. “We know, for example, that the recommended literature should include black characters,” she says. “But that’s not enough. We’re looking for is: how many of those black characters are protagonists in the story and how many are antagonists? If more of the black characters are the bad people, we’ve got a problem.” The Disproportionality Project is under way in 10 Rochester city schools. NYU’s instructors meet twice a month with a team of teachers from each of the schools. They’re working on the program’s first step, which is identifying the root causes of disproportionality in their respective schools.
cover topics such as natural resource conservation, life cycle design and its relationship to business, and carbon and water foot-printing. The workshop is at RIT’s New York State Pollution Prevention Institute at 111 Lomb Memorial Drive. Fee: $125, includes lunch for both days. Information: George Thomas, 262-2870.
Diversity lecture
The Islamic Center of Rochester will present “Diversity in Christianity and Islam,” a lecture by Emil Homerin, University of Rochester professor of religious studies. It is at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, October 27, 727 Westfall Road. Discussion will follow the lecture.
The root causes in each school may be different, Barclay says. That will be followed by cultural awareness training. And the third and final step will be targeted professional development for teachers based on the identified root causes of disproportionality. The effectiveness of the two-year program will be measured incrementally, Barclay says. One of the main components is a careful review of the special ed referral process. Consistency is critical, Barclay says, but so is informed judgment. “We should be seeing a reduction in the number of referrals,” she says. “But we’ve committed to not play the numbers game. We’ll also be looking at suspension rates, tracking the referrals for special ed services, and grade retention rates. If we see the kind of improvements we’re hoping for, we may expand the program to more schools.”

The good life [ CHOW HOUND ] BY SUSIE HUME
After virtually growing up in a restaurant and spending years as a server at a laundry list of Rochester restaurants ranging from upscale eateries to pizzerias, Molly Scahill knew one thing for sure — she never wanted to own a restaurant herself. But in the midst of working two jobs, attending school fulltime, and raising a son, Scahill, 23, decided to rethink her decision. “In this economy you need a trade, and this is my trade,” Scahill says. “It’s what I know best, so I decided to put school on the back burner. It’s a lot of hard work and that’s why I never wanted to do it before, but trust me, it’s easier than working two jobs and going to school.” Last year Scahill checked out the space formerly occupied by Legends Grill in Penfield and decided it was the perfect spot to open a restaurant. After her friend and former boss Anthony Dapice closed his restaurant, the downtown upscale eatery Pazzo Cucina (where Scahill was previously a server), Scahill invited him to work for her as the executive chef of her new venture. Dapice agreed and Le Bon Vie (French for “the good life”) was born. The restaurant, which opened in July and received its liquor license earlier this month, offers a wide variety of cuisines including Italian, French, Mediterranean, Asian, and Louisiana French Quarter. The idea, Scahill says, was to “bring a little bit of the good life from everywhere here.” The affordable, yet upscale menu includes options like a roasted ginger Atlantic salmon served with a ginger-soy butter sauce, filet mignon with gorgonzola and walnuts, shrimp stew fay (a cross between a stew and an
etouffee), and local favorites like chicken and artichoke French. And if you want to compliment Scahill directly for your dining experience, she might just be your table’s server. “Instead of being the owner who is just yelling orders at everyone, I choose to be out there helping because this is a team effort. Plus, I love serving and I want to set a good example for the other servers,” she says. Le Bon Vie is located at 1778 Penfield Road. Lunch prices range from $6 to $12, and dinners $8-$23. It is open for lunch Tuesday-Friday 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. and dinner Tuesday-Sunday 4:30-9 p.m. For more information, call 264-9899.
Fall menu changes and specials
In an effort to please those interested in meals that are lighter on the stomach and the wallet, Blue Cactus Mexican Grille has added a “mid-week budget pleezer” menu that is available all day Monday through Thursday, and Fridays until 3 p.m. The menu offers five entrée combinations, all priced at $7.50: Cheese quesadillas with black-bean soup, chicken enchilada salad with French fries, cheese enchilada served with sopa de lima (a chickenbased soup with lime and vegetables), chilaquiles (somewhat akin to a Mexican lasagna with tortilla pieces, salsa, pork, cheese, and more), and a fiesta plate with two chicken taquitos, a beef empanada, and French fries. In addition, the restaurant is also offering its popular “Taco Tuesday” promotion again, featuring all-youcan-eat tacos every Tuesday for just $12, or $6 for children under 12. Blue Cactus Mexican
Grille is located at 5 Lift Bridge Lane in Fairport. For more information, call 377-9590 or visit bluecactusmexicangrille.com. The Distillery has also released a new menu featuring two new appetizers and six new entrees. Entrée additions include blackened mahi mahi served over field greens, chicken lo mein, a Carolina BBQ burger (featuring pulled pork and coleslaw), tomato basil pizza, and a hummus appetizer and sandwich. The Distillery has four locations in the Rochester area: 1142 Mount Hope Ave (271-4105), 300 Paddy Creek Cir in Greece (621-1620), 3010 Winton Road S in Henrietta (339-3010), and 10 Square Drive in Victor (924-2337). For more information, visit thedistillery.com. The recently opened Crab Shack is now offering weeknight happy-hour food and drink specials. Monday is “cans and clams” night featuring a dozen steamed clams and a Heineken for $8.95; Tuesday is “kegs and legs” night offering a half pound snow crab cluster and any draft beer for $8.95; Wednesday is “oysters and Blue Points” serving up a half dozen blue point oysters paired with a Blue Point Toasted Lager for $12.95; and Thursday is “buckets and beers” night where patrons can enjoy a half pound bucket of crispy shrimp and any draft beer for $8.95. Additional drink specials are being offered nightly like $2 glasses of wine and $2 bottled beers. The Crab Shack is located 749 East Henrietta Road. For more information, call 427-7420 or visit crabshackrochester.com.
Temporary closing
Spot Coffee (200 East Ave) closed its doors
earlier this month to begin renovations that are expected to take several months. The lengthy and pricey makeover (slated to cost $400,000, according to President of U.S. Operations Richard Gress) will feature such changes as a new bar and kitchen updates that will allow the coffeehouse/eatery to serve gourmet pizzas (offered at some of Spot’s other locations in Western New York and Canada) and all-day breakfast. The café’s owners are working with the Rochester Preservation Board to keep the building’s historical integrity intact.
Closing
Henrietta Caribbean restaurant Island Fresh Cuisine has closed the restaurant portion of its business. According to the recording on its voicemail, “Island Fresh Cuisine no longer offers dining services. We’re glad to provide outside catering for your private party or office event.” Those interested in catering services are instructed to e-mail islandfreshcuisine@ yahoo.com or leave a voicemail at 424-2150. Attempts to reach the owner for comment on the change in services went unreturned. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Friday, October 29 Water Street Music Hall, 204 N Water St 9 p.m. | $14-$20 | 325-5600 [ REGGAE/ROOTS ROCK ] Often classified as “future
roots music,” John Brown’s Body is as progressive as it is a tribute to its reggae foundation. The combination of slick and perfectly timed beats with an overlay of drumand-bass sensibility is finished with a dubbed-out vibe. The band members are pioneers, exploring genre-bending soundscapes with a live experience that promises to be highly charged, where all eight members work to channel their futuristic groove, one that hints at hip-hop, dancehall, and beyond. Thunder Body opens. — BY EMILY FAITH
Hugh Cornwell of The Stranglers Friday, October 29 Lovin’ Cup, Park Point, RIT 8 p.m. | $10-$20 | | 292-9940 [ ROCK ] I guess it was a matter of timing. English pub
rockers The Stranglers’ rough and raw sound helped pave the way for a lot of UK punk bands. Whether out of a lack of direction or rebellion, the group rarely stuck with any one style. As The Stranglers tightened up its sound into slightly more concise pop, others followed suit into the post-punk new wave era. Front man Hugh Cornwall, believing the band had run its course, split in 1990 to work solo, though you can count on some Stranglers gems at this show, no doubt. — BY FRANK DE BLASE photo courtesy Ben Sarle

[ review ] by frank de blase
[ JAZZ ] He can transpose a great Ragtime piano classic
to guitar and make it sound like it was written for the instrument. Then he can turn around and flawlessly execute a modern jazz classic by Thelonious Monk. Whether it’s old-timey music, be-bop, or country blues, Duck Baker has his finger on the pulse (not to mention his fingers on the frets) of American music. Baker is not only one of the greatest fingerstyle players on the scene today, he is a font of knowledge about the entire history of homegrown genres. — BY RON NETSKY
Grant Stewart Friday & Saturday, Oct 29-30 Grill at Strathallan, 550 East Ave 8:30 p.m. | Free | 461-5010 [ JAZZ ] Growing up in Toronto, Grant Stewart was
a protégé on the saxophone. By the age of 14 he was playing in one of the city’s top big bands, and at 17 he was taking solos alongside pros like Pat LaBarbera. By the time he was 19 Stewart had moved to New York City, where he quickly found work as a sideman with greats like Clark Terry, Brad Mehldau, Curtis Fuller, and Etta Jones. Stewart is also a favorite among some of Rochester’s top jazz musicians. In recent years Mike Melito, Bob Sneider, and the late Bob Stata have all chosen Stewart for the saxophone chair in their bands or on their albums. He’ll be bringing his expansive tenor sound to the Strathallan for two weekend gigs. — BY RON NETSKY
Local band Anchorage, Nebraska is a focused tantrum. A wild electricity leaks and threatens to dominate the group’s grungy focus. This is what keeps it interesting, and what kept the show interesting last Thursday night at the Bug Jar, as Anchorage tore its way through a short set on a shared triple bill with Heavy Cream and JEFF The Brotherhood. Tonally, Anchorage is sharp and bright with a lyrically impish streak and muscular threat lurking just bellow the surface, a la Mudhoney. It’s too detailed and stylized to be branded punk, too frenetic to be called simply rock ’n’ roll. Nashville’s three-quarter-female Heavy Cream was the filling in the middle of the bill, with simple, twangy, tangy guitar lines set over a primal, virtually cymbal-free beat. The floor throbbed with a pelvic-pleasing pulse. Instrumentally and overall, Heavy Cream is reminiscent of The Cramps, though less dangerous and not as cinematic. The singer seethed quasi-maniacally and paced the stage and the floor below in what can be best described as the moonwalk in reverse. Memphis’ JEFF The Brotherhood closed the night by splitting it wide open.
This duo incorporates channel splitters (to fill out the entire tonal spectrum, and to avoid paying a bass player) through a Jucifer-inspired pile of amps, speakers, and doodads. It was big, bad, and beautiful, and with just two players on stage handling guitar and drums, it was dynamic, fantastic, and raw. Even when you dig Steve Greene in a quiet setting, the subtleties and delicate intricacies sometimes get bulldozed. Right as the guitarist lets fly with a feathery flourish, some jerk will sneeze, or drop his fork. So it was nice to see the Greene monster plug in Saturday night at The Little Theatre Café along with bassist Dave Arenius. Greene’s right-hand attack is like Muhammad Ali’s; he floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee. Amplified, he opted for a warm, rounded tone that still offered variety depending on how close or far the master struck to the bridge of his beautiful sunburst Gibson. Greene and Arenius batted back and fourth, taking turns in the limelight and offering oddly timed responses and good-natured debates over the last note. They closed out a sweet set swinging from Thelonious monkey bars.

Music You’ve got to make cymbals crash or get louder and just over exaggerate everything. What are some of your influences?
Our influences are musically whatever we find fun or want to dance to or get wild to. We listen to a lot of hip-hop stuff and punk-rock stuff and some indie stuff, too. People assume that because I play keyboards and synthesizers that I’m a fan of 80’s music, which could not be less true. I’m really not a fan of most 80’s music, except for some punk rock that happened in the 80’s. So you’re not a Human League fan?
I’ve never even heard of them. “Don’t You Want Me?”
I don’t know. I was quite young in the 80’s. What is the advantage of being a duo?
Although Brooklyn duo Matt & Kim pumps out poppy electronic music, band member Matt Johnson says that the group is hardly influenced by the electro-pop nirvana of the 1980’s. PHOTO PROVIDED
Not under the influence Matt & Kim w/Donnis Thursday, October 28 Water Street Music Hall, 204 N Water St. 8 p.m. | $17-$20 | 325-5600, mattandkimmusic.com [ INTERVIEW ] By Frank De Blase
Quirky Brooklyn geek duo Matt & Kim — Matt Johnson (keyboards, vocals) and Kim Schifino (drums, vocals) — shun the trappings of standard pop posturing (like, say, a clever name) and head straight for the cookie jar. They call it dance punk. There’s a splash of 80’s new wave along with big, bad beats. The duo started out full-on DIY, booking its own gigs and burning CDs in the van along the way. It has since gone on to bigger situations like the Siren Music Festival and Lollapalooza. Matt & Kim’s second album, “Grand,” was recorded in Matt’s childhood bedroom. Onstage the band is unselfconsciously energetic, full of unbridled glee. It’s like an inside joke that everyone is in on. This is 12 City OCTOBER 27 - NOVEMBER 2, 2010
one of the happiest bands you’ll ever see. Naturally, I was a little suspicious so I asked Johnson about it when he called. Here’s an edited transcription of our conversation. CITY: Do you ever feel remotely melancholy, ever? Matt Johnson: Well yes, it’s been known to
happen. But even on a dreary day, having to go out and play a show to a bunch of people who are super-excited never fails to get me real excited. And when it comes to playing music or making videos or any of that, that’s the shit I enjoy. There are a lot of other things that are tough in this life, but those are the things I enjoy. What comes across… We just have a policy about being honest and we like what we do, so we let it show. You said once that studios aren’t the breeding ground for creativity. So where is it?
I had said that after we had done our first album and before we did our second album. Our first album, we didn’t have that much money, we recorded in a studio but we only had nine days to do it, and everything was rush, rush, rush — you’re spending this much money every hour. And you can’t
really be creative when you have to worry about money, or having so little time to do something. So we went into doing our second album, “Grand,” ourselves, and we did that in my childhood bedroom. And we gave ourselves as much time as we needed to try whatever stupid thing we might want to try. But then going into our most recent album, “Sidewalks,” we did record in a studio, but we had the means to have as much time as we wanted. So many bands try to recreate their onstage sound in the studio, yet you seem to hold the studio and the stage separate.
I think they’re totally different things. I compare it to acting on the stage or screen. When you act on screen you can make very subtle changes, subtle facial expressions and it comes across much larger. But when you’re on stage, you have to accent everything so much more and project yourself. And it’s very similar in music. You can add a shaker going into a chorus of a song and the way you mic it, it can sound huge and totally change the dynamic of the chorus. But when you’re on stage, that shaker’s just not going to do the deed.
As a guy who was in bands with five people, the advantage is a lot less compromise. When you’re in band with five people, everyone has a different idea of what a song should sound like, and by the time the song is finished, you just watered it down so much and lost focus. But Kim and I, even before we stated playing music together, we were on the same page creatively in different things we worked on, from film projects to art installations, other band’s album covers. We see eye to eye and that keeps things focused. What is your writing process?
I’ll just record things over the course of time, like melodies that come to me on my Dictaphone or computer or my actual phone. But when it comes time to really sit down and make an album, Kim and I will work out a beat together, that generally starts first, then we’ll audition different things, different melodies. The lyrics always come last. And more than being, like, “This song is going to be about this,” we always let the song we wrote tell us what the lyrics are going to be about. We write the lyrics based on the feeling we get from the song. Anything you’re anxious to try?
We do want to do more collaborative things. In indie music, collaborative music seems very rare. Hip-hop, obviously that’s a genre based on collaboration, and I’d like to try more in the future. Besides this one, what’s the stupidest question you’ve been asked?
“So are your names really Matt and Kim?” I just think it’s funny, only that if I was to come up with a stage name, I sure hope I’d come up with something a little more exciting than Matt.

CLASSICAL | Chapel Concert by Candlelight
The Third Presbyterian Church of Rochester was built in the 1950’s in the neo-Gothic style, and this is the sixth season of its “Chapel Concert by Candlelight Series.” At the piano will be Thomas Pandolfi. A graduate of the Julliard School for his bachelor’s and master’s degrees, Pandolfi appears throughout America and Europe as a guest pianist with orchestras and in solo recitals. His recordings include the rather devilish “Après une Lecture du Dante” by Liszt from Les Annees de Perelinage, Deuxieme Annee.

INDIE ROCK | The Dads
Riddled with quirky, off-kilter distorted rhythms and playful bass lines, the post-rock-driven sound of local band The Dads is a carnival of infectious pop. Surviving several line-up changes as of late, the current configuration brings the group to a more solid state. The group will have its latest recorded offering on hand at this CD-release show; the packaging doubles as posters of the band. As fun live as it is daring, the band has been known to cover a song per show, tackling everything from Cocteau Twins to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s “Pizza Song”. This is tongue-and-cheeky at its best, and a perfect pairing for local band Sports, which shares the bill for its own CD release. The Dads and Sports play Friday, October 29, 10 p.m. at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $5-$8. 454-2966, bugjar. com. — BY EMILY FAITH Open Jam w/Beau Ryan & Amanda Ashley.

Tuesday, November 2
In its prime, Molly Hatchet stood out from its Southern rock brethren like Lynyrd Skynyrd and .38 Special with its fourguitar wall of twangin’ thunder. Despite the massive artillery, the band still managed to pump plenty of boogie into the crunch and kerrang, with hits like “Flirtin’ With Disaster” and “Whiskey Man.” The Hatchet still swings, though most original members have split or died, leaving original vocalist Dave Hlubeck to lead the charge. Joey T Band opens.

Art Deborah Remington’s 1978 “Omina” is one of those semi-abstract works that hold a plethora of pictures. A pale blue central circle is surrounded in a red-rimmed void space, with two floating panels within the blue. The info card suggests an open space craft door, the sky, and two floating unhinged doors, which is definitely visible and also possibly the last thing you should suggest to someone who’s just dropped acid. It seems that when LSD is used with an enlightenment directive, artists and thinkers tend to gain some pretty Eastern insights. Alex Gray’s breathtaking “Journey of a Wounded Healer” from 1985 is an enormous, immaculately detailed triptych, following the “prisoner of materialism,” held within the orderly cage of DNA through the graphic explosion of the self, to become a transparent and radiant caduceus-bearing being climbing a mountain, while the entire scene is electrified by white sparks shooting through everything. I completely geeked out over the presence of

Substantial influence “Psychedelic: Optical and Visionary Art Since the 1960’s” Through January 2 Memorial Art Gallery, 500 University Ave. 276-8900, mag.rochester.edu. Wednesday-Sunday 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Thursday 11 a.m.-9 p.m. | $5-$10 [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
Upon hearing the subtitle of the Memorial Art Gallery’s new “Psychedelic” exhibition — “Optical and Visionary Arts Since the 1960’s” — one of my wittier friends suggested that patrons should consume shiitake mushrooms before going to see the show. I also wondered if the exhibit would represent “the real thing” or a mere shadow of the psychedelic 60’s explorations. But the show rings true, featuring a variety of works ranging from 1960’s Op Art to modern examinations of themes and questions in human life that will always be relevant. Characteristically big and bright, many of the works threaten to swallow you whole, simulating the world under the influence of certain substances. The well chosen hues and sharp 20 City october 27 - november 2, 2010
lines of optical artist Richard Anuszkiewicz’s 1966 painting “Celestial” create the disorienting effect of having visually consumed a citrus fruit. Frank Stella’s 1968 “Double Scramble” is also a mammoth, florescent-colored geometric work of concentric squares, but the painted lines have a raw, deckled edge that removes the optical shiftiness found in the clean-edged paintings. Try as those loud paintings might to steal the show, the visual-effect play pales in comparison to some of the more absorbing, semi-representational work. Isaac Abrams’ 1968 “Cosmoerotica” is paired with the artist’s statement that inner and outer body experiences have led “to an identification with the singularity of creation and the total interconnectedness of nature.” The gallery’s card explains that the work treats sexuality “as an intrinsic life force [...] both spiritual and noble.” For many people, drugs quiet the ego, and neither shame-inducing biological bummers nor culturally imposed coyness get in the way of pure lust, and the reproductive act, even when used as recreation, is a celebration of life. Orgasm has been described in other cultures as a “little death,” or a means to get closer to god, or the zero experience, leaving us clinging to each other amazed and shaken. If you haven’t
felt this, you’re probably a bit stifled. But back to the painting: the large canvas is packed with undulating waves of space and land, tides of flame and particles; abstraction hinting at everything, made of the same stuff. One of the two modern video installations is
Sterling Ruby’s 2006 “Lamictal Club Mix,” a commentary on the unwanted side-effects the drug he was prescribed for his bipolar condition. A wide screen flashes a crazymaking rainbow animation set to industrial noise music, the color show periodically interrupted briefly by the Lamictal logo. The headphones’ short cord allows only about four feet of empty space between the visual assault and your eyeballs, leaving the viewer feeling trapped by the effect. Fred Tomaselli’s 1994 “Ripple Trees” is a gorgeous work of hemp leaves, saccharin, and assorted pills embedded in a painted wood panel. The pills and leaves are arranged in mandala patterns over painted tree silhouettes, with an orange-to-purple sunset in the background. Perhaps a nod to Native American and Eastern sacred patterns, the work speaks of nature and interconnectedness, and while entirely sober, I caught the feeling that the trees were exhaling the shapes into the air.
“lowbrow” L.A. artist Robert Williams’ 1990 surreal-esque painting, “Lord High Solver of Puzzledom.” Williams’ subtitle is clever, and an artist statement in itself, but would take up much of my word count, so you’ll just have to go visit. In the work, a world of puzzle pieces and exploding multi-dimensional imagery surround a pair of men trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle of a nudie shot, and will keep viewers busy finding new images and connections and possible meaning. (The irreverent artist would only poke fun at us for trying so hard.) A darkened room holds George Cisneros’ 1978/1986 work “Cascades of Jubilation,” as well as benches to lounge upon while viewers enjoy soft and meditative music. Tinkling keys, soothing bass, and tenuous violin flow with the gently shifting light show projected onto a screen from a centrally placed kaleidoscope. Circular mirrors on the dark walls pickup the light and reflect it, creating a safe and happy meditation space, perhaps for employee breaks. Just a thought. Richie Budd’s “Bon Voyage Somnambulating De Pileon” can be found around the corner from an aptly placed seizure warning. The sizable robot emanates lights and music, while an on-board computer asks universal but unanswerable questions. (“Where do I go from here?/What do I do to reach my goals?/What is it to be accepted?”) The one-robot party was equipped with juice and hotdogs during the show’s opening night, but with slight modifications to the type of beverage, could serve as a more traditional party: a gathering ground for discussion of and temporary escape from those eternal questions.

ART EVENT | “Taking Aim”
We know what celebs look like when they’re perfectly primped for photos, and what they look like when they’re pissed at the paparazzi. On Saturday, October 30, the George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) reveals a calmer, more artistic, and at times candid side of some epic rockers with “Taking Aim: Unforgettable Rock ‘n’ Roll Photographs Selected by Graham Nash.” That’s right, Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills and Nash (and sometimes Young, who is featured in the show as well). The exhibit will showcase performance shots and portraits of musicians ranging from Bo Diddley to Nirvana shot by 40 famed photographers, including guest curator Nash, who will visit the Eastman House during the run of the show, which is up through January 23. During the months of November and December, you can check out a related series of films that will be screened at the Dryden Theatre at the Eastman House. Films and documentaries will explore the lives and careers of Little Richard, The Beatles, The Clash, Led Zeppelin, and more. You can bet I’ll be there for the Bowie glam-rock flicks. Each screening is $5-$7, and info can be found at dryden.eastmanhouse.org. Admission to the Eastman House is $4-$10, and hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Thursday until 8 p.m., and Sunday 1-5 p.m. For more information, call 271-3361 or visit eastmanhouse.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Community Darkroom Gallery 713 Monroe Ave. Through Nov 14: “Original Stain: New Alternative Imaging.” Mon 9 a.m.-9:30 p.m.; Tue-Thu 9 a.m.-6:30 p.m.; Fri closed; Sat 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m.; Sun 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. 2715920, geneseearts.org.

DANCE | Merchants of Bollywood
In Bollywood theatrics, when young lovers or adventurers lament their situation, they don’t just sulk around, they dance and sing it out. If you love flashy glamorous aesthetics as much as expressive, bombastic storytelling, catch “Merchants of Bollywood” at Nazareth College Arts Center (4245 East Ave.) this Sunday, October 31. With the aid of more than 1000 glittery costumes and enough jewelry to make Liz Taylor blush, the show tells the based-on-atrue-story of an Indian family who must uphold the ancient tradition of the Kathak dance, the dance of the Gods. Choreographer Shantilal, the last in the line of gurus, believes that dance should change people’s lives, while his granddaughter Ayesha, the reigning queen of Bollywood films, uses dance to escape. The tradition threatens to die out with Shantilal unless Ayesha returns to her sacred roots (and hurries up and gets married). Seats are filling up quickly for the high-energy, colorful show, which is offered for one night only at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $40-$70, and can be obtained at the box office or by calling 389-2182, or online at naz.edu. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY “Tribute to Hip Hop” Mural by Carmello (Melo) Ortiz.| Sibley Window Project (East Ave.) Torell Arnold “Bee-cause Art Means the World to Me.” Mon, Wed, Fri 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Tue, Thu 10 a.m.-7 p.m. 292-2021.

KIDS EVENT | Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus
Remember the first time you saw The Greatest Show on Earth? The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus will bring their newest show, “Zing Zang Zoom,” to the Blue Cross Arena (1 War Memorial Square) this week. Pack up the kids, or gather your young-at-heart pals, and get ready for a thrilling spectacle. In my day, the circus players had their hands full defying the invisible force of gravity, but this rendition of the circus has gone and personified it. In addition to enjoying the usual amazing feats of acrobats, trapeze artists, trained animals, and antics of the clowns, circus-goers must help the “Zingmaster” Alex ward off the cynical Mr. Gravity and his team of Heavies. An elephant will “disappear,” and the group “Children of All Ages” will attempt to levitate their parents. The show runs Wednesday, October 27, through Sunday, October 31, with performances Wednesday-Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 11:30 a.m., 3:30 & 7:30 p.m., and Sunday at 1 p.m. Tickets cost $13-$75 and are available at ringling.com or at the arena box office (758-5300, bluecrossarena.com). — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Fire Glass Studio, 80 Rockwood Pl. 242-0405, morefireglass.com. 6-8:30 p.m. $175 + materials, registration required.

LECTURE | Reshaping Rochester
The 6th Annual Reshaping Rochester Series has returned, this year themed “Build it Right & They Will Come.” For the first lecture of the season, the Rochester Regional Community Design Center will host Timothy Beatley, the Teresa Heinz Professor of Sustainable Communities in the Department of Urban and Environmental Planning at the University of Virginia. Beatley’s talk is entitled “100 Mile Thanksgiving: Celebrating Local Communities and Economies,” and promises to advise the audience on how to keep localism in mind during the inherently stressful and impending holiday season, when even the most sustainably minded might choose convenience over conscience. The lecture takes place Thursday, October 28, 7-9 p.m. at Temple B’rith Kodesh (2131 Elmwood Ave.), with a free tour of the temple before the lecture at 6:15 p.m. Tickets are $15-$20, $5 for students. Call 271-0520 or visit rrcdc.org for more information and the schedule of upcoming lectures. In related news, the RRCDC (Hungerford Building, Door #4, 1115 E. Main St.) is also hosting “Slow & Steady,” a thesis exhibit of photographs exploring local food production by RIT MFA candidate Christin Boggs through November 30. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m. or by appointment, and admission is free. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY With Steve Dolph, Yana Genova, and Chad W. Post.

LIT | Reading the World Conversation Series
It’s easy to forget, when we enjoy a work of literature penned in another language, that a lot of toil and consideration went into publishing it in our own tongue. That is the concern behind this year’s Open Letter Reading the World Conversation Series at the University of Rochester. “Literature is one of the best ways to learn about cultures from around the world,” says Chad Post, Open Letter publisher and series organizer. You can learn more about the process of translating and publishing international lit by attending one or both of the remaining roundtable discussions, which take place in the Hawkins-Carlson Room of the Rush Rhees Library on the UR River Campus. On Thursday, October 28, at 6 p.m., three translators, including Steve Dolph (pictured), Yana Genova of Next Page Foundation, and Post, will discuss issues surrounding “The State of International Publishing,” including international funding and eBooks. A Ledig House Roundtable will take place November 9 at 6 p.m., during which four international writers in residence at the Ledig House will read from their works and discuss literary trends from around the world.

Three lives and the afterlife [ REVIEW ] by george grella
it safe, Eastwood has produced his share of artistic failures and box-office flops, but he continues to take chances, explore new areas, try new material. “Hereafter” Despite his fine work as both actor and (PG-13), directed by Clint Eastwood director in the decidedly tough, masculine Now playing genres of the Western and the cop flick, he often displays an insight into the vulnerability Clint Eastwood’s career exhibits possibly the of his male characters and a sympathy for richest variety of films and certainly the most his female ones. More important, he also impressive evolution of any living director. demonstrates, in “A Perfect World” and “Mystic Probably only a couple of his peers, Martin River,” a compassion for the abandoned, lonely, Scorsese and Woody Allen, even compare in suffering child, a character and situation that numbers of titles, but neither has made movies drive much of the emotion in “Hereafter.” as disparate as, say, “High Plains Drifter,” “The The movie weaves three separate stories in Gauntlet,” “Sudden Impact,” or “Gran Torino.” three different countries around the subject of Because he follows his own path and seldom plays death and the afterlife. Matt Damon plays George Lonergan, a psychic who sees beyond the grave, conveying the communications of the dead to their living relatives; because of the drain on his emotions he quit a successful practice for an obscure life in a San Francisco factory. A French television personality, Marie Lelay (Cecile de France), suffers a near-death experience in the tsunami in Indonesia, and Bryce Dallas Howard and Matt Damon in “Hereafter.” PHOTO COURTESY WARNER
finds herself haunted by the experience. Marcus (Frankie McLaren), a young English boy, grieves inconsolably for his beloved twin brother, Jason, killed in an automobile accident. Intercutting among the three very different personalities and their stories, the film proceeds deliberately, accumulating characters and incidents to provide some intense emotional moments. George’s psychic abilities destroy any chance for a normal relationship with a young woman, whose sorrow he feels and whose past he understands, a perception that so shocks her she rejects him. Similarly, Marie’s obsession with her death and rebirth permanently damages both her professional and her personal life. Most touching, Marcus, the saddest, loneliest little boy imaginable, placed in foster care because of his mother’s drug addiction, searches for some way to communicate with his dead twin. He steals a sum of money and uses it in futile visits to a series of quacks and charlatans he finds on the Internet. He also discovers George’s old web site, which ultimately leads to their meeting in London. Aside from the inherent fascination of the characters and their individual stories, much of the picture’s appeal lies in its architecture, the actual process by which the director unifies all three narratives and maneuvers all three people from three different countries into the same time and place. The intersection of the stories in London brings them together, resolving the complicated

orchestration and the constant shifting of location, personality, and mood. Appropriately for a story so deeply engaged with a lonely, suffering child, George’s passion for the novels of Charles Dickens leads him on a literary pilgrimage and, eventually, to the London Book Fair, where Marie Lelay introduces her account of her near-death experience, entitled “Hereafter,” and where Marcus’s foster parents have brought him to meet one of their previous charges. The coincidence never seems staged or artificial, but a natural result of the movie’s commitment to the often sad and even uncanny unpredictability of human affairs. Eastwood’s work in “Hereafter” suggests that even after a long and illustrious career, the director at the age of 80 continues to change and grow. He draws fine performances from all the principals and a truly remarkable one from young Frankie McLaren, who makes the sorrow of a lost and lonely child heartbreakingly real. Most important, Eastwood endows the picture with a depth of emotion surpassing any of his previous work, even including the despairing sadness of “Mystic River.” The movie reflects the confidence of an artist who can handle with equal skill the ambiance of polish and sophistication of his Parisian professionals, the solitary life of the oppressed psychic, and the loving, heroic sacrifices of the sweet English twins. “Hereafter,” simply, is a stunning and moving achievement, perhaps the best thing Clint Eastwood has ever done.
When “Paranormal Activity” was released to theaters in 2009, it couldn’t help but evoke thoughts of “The Blair Witch Project” from a decade earlier. Both made wily use of a viral marketing campaign — “The Blair Witch Project” having been among the first to do so — that whipped moviegoers into an anticipatory frenzy, and both employed a resourceful verité shooting style, allowing the filmmakers to deliver maximum dread on miniscule budgets. Both would go on to earn gobs of money, which of course screams “Sequel!” to your typical studio suit. And that’s when things can get really scary. Because if you remember the notoriously sucktacular “Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows,” which ignored all the qualities that made the first

film so clever, then you have every right to be a bit leery of “Paranormal Activity 2.” Aw, don’t be! While too many sequels see themselves as a mandate to go over the top, “Paranormal Activity 2” opts for the less-is-more approach, registering as both prologue and epilogue to the original. Like the first one, the film opens with a foreboding title card thanking police and survivors for their cooperation, then it goes on to introduce us to a recently expanded family. With new dad Daniel (Brian Boland) manning the video camera, we meet baby Hunter, teenage sister Ali (Molly Ephraim), and mom Kristi (Sprague Grayden). It’s when Aunt Katie (Katie Featherston) pops by to visit that we figure out how it all ties in: Katie — whom you will recognize from “Paranormal Activity” — and Kristi are sisters, and what we’re watching takes place in the weeks before Katie’s well-documented possession. The cameras continue to roll because Daniel has installed a comprehensive surveillance system in the wake of a bizarrely destructive break-in during which nothing was stolen except an heirloom of Kristi’s. Soon things are going bump in the night (as well as crash in the day), though director Tod Williams, anointed by “Paranormal Activity” mastermind Oren Peli, initially takes a bit too long in parceling out the frights. But, like the first time out, once things get going, it’s... um... well, to be honest, Chapter Two is essentially the same film as Chapter One: creepy stuff happens, woman is terrified, man naysays until he sees the footage. (The Ouija board reprises its role.) Where “Paranormal Activity 2” distinguishes itself is more backstory — our demon has a goal — and more resolution. Maybe. I have long avoided horror flicks, so this whole cinematic fear thing is unfamiliar territory for me. But what I really appreciate about the “Paranormal Activity” movies is how the stationary
camera images draw you in. Your eyes dart over these seemingly innocuous pictures of a quiet room looking for anything amiss, whether it’s a swinging pan or a moving shadow. When you find it, you feel a sense of accomplishment, as though you outsmarted the movie from scaring you. But when you can’t find it, your panic grows as you imagine what might happen and try to brace yourself. You never really can, though, and that’s the experience. At your job there’s probably someone you
don’t like, but still cross paths with from time to time; a sort of necessary evil, if you will. At my job, it’s Woody Allen. Yeah, yeah, he once made some acclaimed films, but those days are gone. Long gone, in fact; his mediocre 21st-century output has demonstrated exactly two things: Allen no longer has any clue how people actually relate to one another, and he’s presumably surrounded by sycophants unwilling to tell him so. It’s especially difficult for me to go easy on the man since he insists on painting women as idiots, shrews, or sluts. All three are represented in the utterly unnecessary “You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger,” Allen’s 40th film since 1969. As usual, Allen has assembled a toptier cast — Anthony Hopkins, Naomi Watts, Josh Brolin, et al. — to tell a convoluted yet familiar story of love troubles among the well-off. Watts and Brolin are married but eyeing other people, his dreams of literary stardom slipping away while she nags. They’re supported by her daffy mother (Gemma Jones), whose husband (Hopkins) left her because she got old. And he, naturally, is marrying a greedy hooker. Technically speaking, the film is impressively shot, with a few swirling, unbroken takes that are impressive in their fluidity. But nothing remotely realistic happens, and no one says anything truthful. Or funny, which might be the biggest sin of all.

FROM HANDSOME HARDWOODS TO HEATED TOWEL RACK 150 Seneca Parkway On a street with outstanding homes of varied architectural designs, the Tudor-style house at 150 Seneca Parkway stands out for its size and wealth of gracious details. Built in the 1920s, it faces the broad green mall of the parkway designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. The covered entrance, with a charming original light fixture, has a massive door that opens into a spacious vestibule leading into the main hallway. The hallway is dominated by a handsome staircase with turned spindles. The original woodwork throughout the downstairs, and the hardwood floors, trimmed with a narrow band of darker wood inset around the perimeter of the rooms, testify to a tradition of craftsmanship not found in newer homes. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace with bookcases on either side: two inviting window seats are located in the bays formed by leaded-glass casement windows. Plaster oakleaves provide a charming detail on the mantel. The dining room leads into the kitchen, which has been tastefully remodeled and brought completely up to date. A special feature of the adjacent breakfast room is an entire wall of shelves with leaded and beveled glass doors. There are four bedrooms on the second floor, and two full baths, one of which has been modernized with a step-in shower and a heated towel rack. The attic is finished and can be used as a spacious fifth bedroom or a home office. The
basement is finished and carpeted – an ideal place for a recreation center. In the back yard, just beyond the attached two-car garage, is a large gazebo, shaded by mature trees, and surrounded by perennials. Window boxes grace the exterior of the home. The rich red brick of the first floor contrasts with the half-timbering and the original stucco, still in pristine shape, and the of the second floor. 150 Seneca Parkway is located in the Maplewood Historic District-- deemed such a valuable architectural treasure that it is listed in the State and National Registers of Historic Places. The Maplewood Neighborhood enjoys all the conveniences of an urban location, yet it is only blocks away from the natural beauty of Maplewood Park, the Lower Falls of the Genesee River, and the Genesee Riverway Trail. Shops, churches, a public library, and outstanding public and private schools are found in this active area, characterized by the friendliness of the Maplewood Neighborhood Association (www.maplewood.org). The house, listed as $189,900, has 3,363 square feet, not counting the attic and basement, and sits on a 0.23 acre lot. To see 150 Seneca Parkway, contact Nothnagle’s Marcia Glenn at 585-246-1064. by Mitzie Collins Mitzie Collins is a long-time resident of the 19th Ward and is a proud supporter of the Landmark Society.
