COVER STORY | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO | PAGE 6 | ILLUSTRATION BY MAX SEIFERT

There is no Superman Rochester needs a strong and vibrant public school system. But despite years of reform efforts, student achievement and graduation rates continue to be abysmally low. For years, we have looked for some version of Superman to improve our school system.

There is no magic solution. Superman doesn’t exist.

But there are things we can do, concrete actions we can take to give our children the quality education they need and deserve.

Using the film “Waiting for ‘Superman’” as a jumping-off point, this week we offer our assessment of what the district should do to achieve real reform. And in a set of companion pieces, four Rochesterians with a special interest in public education offer their own thoughts: Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard, teachersunion president Adam Urbanski, parent-activist Howard Eagle, and Center for Governmental Research CEO Kent Gardner.

On our website

The liveliest discussions during the past week took place on our website, where readers signed in on everything from national politics to our Best of Rochester winners and local band performances. Among the comments: On Urban Journal’s “Election Blues” (November 10): I am

afraid Mary Anna Towler’s negativism will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. We are discouraged; there is nothing we can do; we do nothing; nothing good happens.

The American electorate is malleable. It is volatile. It has no sense of deferred gratification; it wants results yesterday. If they are not delivered, they strike out emotionally. That is the bad news; it is also the good news.

Liberals need to be persistent, to frame issues more effectively, to rally the more-than-50 percent who do not vote, appeal to our better angels, and act as if positive change can come.

Both major parties have come from near-death experiences to triumph again. The worst thing for us to do is nothing.

We at least need to be faithful to those better angels of our being and hope the electorate comes around. E. B. White defined democracy as the score at the beginning of the ninth. We need a rally monkey right now!

RICHARD S. GILBERT

On our November 3 coverage of Boulder Coffee’s plans in the 19th Ward: Unfortunately the

article missed a big part of the story — money. Christiansen, the developer of the hotel, will reap lots of profit by filling his empty spaces continuously financed by public grants, subsidies, and tax exemptions. Before the initial sale of what was originally to be Urban Brew Community Coffee City

NOVEMBER 17-23, 2010

Shop, approximately $250,000 from grants and donations had been used to restore the building.

There are 30 bricks memorializing community donations —my family has four. Those plans and dreams were shattered by the original sale completed without community input.

DORIS M. MEADOWS

An article interviewing folks who were involved with this project would explain why the 19th Ward is reacting so negatively to the move. What I have noticed about Boulder Coffee is that its primary focus is the South Wedge location. When Wilton took that business model and moved it across the river to the 19th Ward, some considerations should have been made to make sure the coffee shop would work well within the neighborhood. Instead, it seemed like the Boulder Coffee on Brooks Avenue’s main focus was on U of R students, and catered more to the college crowd.

I haven’t seen Boulder Coffee reach out to the neighborhood.

They have not had a booth at the West Side Farmers Market, or at the annual Square Fair. If Lyjha showed as much interest in the community as he does in the South Wedge, this situation could have been avoided.

(Maybe business would have been better if Boulder had reached out more?)

On Police Chief David Moore’s departure: There’s nothing

remotely resembling stability at City Hall. My cousin works there; everyone is scared about Duffy’s announcement that he’s going to make cuts.

Paranoia is rampant. The bosses have changed and the rules get changed for those who play ball.

Merry Christmas everybody, from your City Office of Public Integrity and the mayor.

MARGARET ROBINSON

On the “Waiting for ‘Superman’” panel and the problems in the Rochester school district: Give

parents and students a voucher to pay for a decent education; then let them choose the school they want to attend. Allow the voucher to be used at any school which meets certain standards for curriculum.

It will never happen, of course, not in New York, because the teachers unions and education bureaucrats are terrified of what would happen when parents and students could actually choose between their terribly run, wasteful, corrupt, union-led schools and privately run schools that cared more for kids’ educations than union thugs’ six-figure salaries.

B. SARBANE

I don’t know Wilton personally, but I had a buddy who rented one of his first properties in the Wedge back in 2005. The man has been nothing but a galvanizing force for that neighborhood, from the fixed-up houses to the coffee shops to the bars to the public market to Wedgestock.

I live many miles away from Rochester and think often about moving back and settling in the Wedge area. Wilton entered into a business venture that didn’t work out and now he has to cut his losses. And he’s opening up a place across the street!

Like everyone else, the man has a family to feed. Of course people can be upset that it didn’t work out, but don’t pretend there’s some complex ruse in question here, especially for a man who dedicates so much time and resources toward the city of Rochester. Accept it, work together, make it better.

I agree with B. Sarbane regarding vouchers. I do not want to move from my city address, yet I want my daughter to get a top-notch education — without going to a private school. I am very grateful she was able to be transferred to a city-wide elementary school.

I investigated what steps would’ve been necessary for her to attend suburban schools as an outof-district student. (She was too young to be considered for the Urban-Suburban program at the time, and possibly not “black enough,” which is a topic for another day.)

Gates-Chili wanted $7000, which is about double the tax of a modest home in that area. If I was to pay that much, I would’ve been in the private school price range.

A voucher would allow parents true choice in where to educate their children. Decisions could be made based on the different programs available, and the needs and interests of each child.

In my opinion, that makes way too much sense, so a snowball has a better chance of survival in the devil’s living room than that has of happening any time soon.

urban journal | by mary anna towler

Do we have the will to fix our schools?

We’re devoting a good bit of this week’s print edition to the subject of school reform. The impetus, in part, is the movie “Waiting for ‘Superman,’” currently showing at the Little.

The film is a decidedly one-sided piece of propaganda (teachers’ unions: bad; charter schools: good). But it’s worth seeing, because it forces us to confront a difficult truth: Too many children — predominantly those in the nation’s inner cities — leave school poorly educated.

This is not solely the teachers’ fault (despite the film’s assertion). It is not solely the fault of superintendents, or principals, school boards, mayors, or parents. But all of them bear some responsibility, for the shortcomings of the past and for doing the tough things that must be done in the future.

Unquestionably, the state of public education in Rochester is the direct result of this region’s concentration of poverty.

As a community, we ought to be able to fix that, but there is no indication that we will. So Rochester must find a way to give its children the education they deserve.

Rochester — its educators, its politicians, its residents, and its businesses — must fix what they can fix.

And the list of fixables — some of which we list this week — is long.

Our schools crisis is not new. That we have let it build for decades is unconscionable. We can not keep waiting for change. And that change must start with the leaders at the top — the superintendent, union leaders, School Board leaders, parent leaders, AfricanAmerican and Hispanic community leaders, city officials.

If I were an idealist, I would challenge them to start 2011 with a Summit for the Children, at which they would pledge to stop the finger-pointing, abandon old stances and prejudices, build trust, and get started on a path forward.

Rochester has tried this kind of thing before, of course. But self-interest, fatigue, and small minds have prevented success. So I assume we’ll continue to push for small changes, a little here, a little there. And we’ll continue to get what we’re getting now.

Small reform efforts won’t do the job. Only a change of heart — a true commitment to putting children first — will succeed. Any leaders want to be the first to volunteer?

Just say ‘no,’ Mr. Obama

Far be it from me to give advice to the president. Still….

It can’t be this hard to say “no.” The Republicans, after all, are masters at it.

Can’t Barack Obama say it once in a while?

Obama is unquestionably a bright man.

So I don’t know why he hasn’t learned the lesson Republicans have spent two years trying to teach him: They do not intend to compromise. Why, then, is he now saying that he is willing to “compromise” on tax cuts for the super wealthy?

This just defies belief.

The president started compromising on his health-care goals right at the start.

Maybe that was worth trying, to see if he could get buy-in from the pharmaceutical companies and the insurance companies… and the Republicans.

But as soon as he compromised, everybody moved even farther away from his goals. They, apparently, learned something, even if he didn’t. And what they learned is that he won’t stand up for his principles.

There is absolutely no reason to extend the tax cuts on the super rich. And there are plenty of reasons not to — including lowering the deficit, which both Republicans and Obama insist that they want to do.

We’re closing out the first two years of Obama’s presidency. There is still time for him to show that he has learned from those two years. But if what he has learned is that he must move to the right, he’ll be in big trouble come November 2012. And so will the country.

This is a test, Mr. President.

Brizard’s wife may open charter school

K. Brooke Stafford-Brizard, wife of Rochester schools Superintendent JeanClaude Brizard, is among the organizers of a new allgirl charter school. School organizers are in the early planning stages and say they hope to have it open in 2012. They still have to receive approval from either the SUNY system or the New York State Education Department. Since charter schools often draw students and funds away from city schools, critics have questioned whether StaffordBrizard’s involvement poses a conflict of interest for the superintendent.

More employees seeing highdeductible plans

POLITICS | by CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

A health benefits survey by the Rochester Business Alliance shows that more area employees are being offered health insurance plans with high deductibles. About 30 percent of employers who responded to the survey are offering the plans. The plans allow employees to pay lower premiums, but they pay higher out-of-pockets costs. The survey, which is conducted annually, received responses from 182 area companies.

Public weighs in on mayoral succession

The takeaway from Monday night’s packed public hearing on mayoral succession is that the debate seems divided by status. Many members of the business, faith, and social service communities pushed for a special election, while many selfidentified “regular” citizens said they want an appointment followed by a September 2011 primary.

There are at least two notable exceptions, however, and they make for an odd pairing: former Rochester Mayor Bill Johnson and local attorney John Parrinello both spoke in favor of an appointment and primary.

Red equals green for the city

The city issued 518 tickets to red light-runners during its first week of enforcement. The fine for each violation is $50. Cameras at North Street and Clifford Avenue, State and Jay Streets, and Broadway and Alexander Street were the first to be activated. Three more will be added soon at the intersections of Culver Road and East Avenue, Dewey and Ridgeway, and North Clinton and Andrews.

“When the Supreme Court picked a president, it caused turmoil in this country,” Parrinello said. “I don’t want that for the City of Rochester.”

Those arguing for a special election repeatedly cited stability and continuity. Someone would be elected within 90 days of Mayor Bob Duffy’s departure. (Duffy is lieutenant governor-elect and says he will not resign the mayor’s office until January 1.) That person would serve through 2013, the remainder of Duffy’s term.

An appointed mayor would take office after Duffy steps down,

and would likely face a primary in September 2011 and, possibly, a general election challenge that November.

“I’ve never seen this community in such a state of flux,” said Fran Weisberg, who spoke in favor of a special election. Weisberg is executive director of the Finger Lakes Health Systems Agency. “We cannot waste time on this. A crisis in leadership is the last thing our city needs right now.”

Superfund proposal raises questions

Tough choices ahead

Governor David Paterson’s recently announced proposal to end the state’s involvement in federal Superfund cleanups has members of the environmental community scratching their heads.

The exact proposal is unclear. But Erik Kriss, a spokesperson with the state Division of Budget, says New York’s not pulling out of the program entirely. He cited only one change: Department of Environmental Conservation staff would no longer perform monitoring activities at federal Superfund sites.

Federal law requires states to contribute a portion of cleanup costs — typically 10 percent — for sites where no responsible party can be determined. Kriss says the state will continue to meet that obligation.

Superfund cleanup sites are heavily polluted, so the projects are complex, expensive, and take years to complete. The federal Environmental Protection Agency administers the projects, but the DEC has supported the agency for 30 years.

Environmental groups worry that ending DEC monitoring could delay the cleanups, which could pose public health risks. The groups want to know the details of Paterson’s plan.

Monroe County doesn’t have any federal Superfund projects, but there are sites in the Rochester and Finger Lakes region. In

the Village of Holley, just west of Brockport, the EPA is leading a cleanup at the former Diaz Chemical site.

The Seneca Army Depot in Romulus is also an EPA cleanup site, as Governor David Paterson. is a landfill in FILE PHOTO Batavia.

Rochester environmental attorney Alan Knauf says the governor’s Superfund proposal may not be such bad news. It may help state officials make better use of DEC resources, he says. And the EPA should be able to handle the Superfund cleanups itself, Knauf says.

Paterson’s proposal coincides with DEC staff reductions scheduled to happen at the end of the year. The cuts are part of Paterson’s efforts to reduce state spending, but they’ll take DEC staff levels back to early 1980’s levels. A leaked memo from the department shows how previous cuts have hurt programs and how this round of cuts will further stretch staff.

WE WON’T FIND A MAGIC SOLUTION TO OUR SCHOOLS’ PROBLEMS — BUT THERE ARE THINGS WE CAN DO. EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Rochester needs a strong and vibrant public school system. But despite years of reform efforts, student achievement and graduation rates continue to be abysmally low. Rochester Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard has made some important changes, but there is more work to do — and hurdles to overcome.

Using the film “Waiting for ‘Superman’” as a jumping-off point, this week we offer our assessment of what the district should do to achieve real reform. And in a set of companion pieces, four Rochesterians with a special interest in public education offer their own thoughts: Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard, teachers-union president Adam Urbanski, parent activist Howard Eagle, and Center for Governmental Research CEO Kent Gardner.

In the opening scenes of “Waiting for ‘Superman,’” the controversial documentary film that chronicles the crisis in public schools, Geoffrey Canada recalls a childhood moment that he says changed his life. Canada, founder of the Harlem Children’s Zone, had hoped that Superman would come to save the people he saw in desperate need of help. But his mother destroyed that dream. There is, she said, no Superman.

For years, Rochester has been counting on some version of Superman to save its school district. We’ve searched for the perfect superintendent and School Board. We’ve proposed community-wide mentoring programs and spent millions on Rochester’s version of the Children’s Zone. Mayoral control was debated for months.

We have no shortage of ideas. But given the financial and political realities, some of them are simply not realistic. City schools will probably never be integrated with suburban schools, although many educators see that as the ideal solution. Reducing the city’s concentration of poverty, though critically important, would take decades.

And as important as parental involvement is to student achievement, we’ll never have all parents as involved as they should be.

Does that mean that educating city students is a lost cause? Are low graduation rates in urban districts like Rochester’s inevitable?

City

NOVEMBER 17-23, 2010

No educator or community leader believes that. But a combination of developments — President Obama’s Race to the Top, films like “The Lottery” and “Waiting for ‘Superman’” — has put a spotlight on the crisis in public education.

This could be a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Rochester needs excellent public schools, but we can’t continue to wait for Superman. Nor can we do everything we’d like. But there are some things we can do, and must do, if we’re to give city students more than a 50/50 chance of graduating “collegeready” in four years.

THE SCHOOL DISTRICT’S A D M I N I S T R AT I O N M U S T I M P R O V E I T S R E L AT I O N S H I P WITH TEACHERS. It’s a weak alliance at best. Many teachers complain privately that while the administration in central office talks about being supportive, it doesn’t always follow through. And even some School Board members criticize Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard’s management style, saying he is too harsh and has created a climate of fear among teachers. He needs to improve his people skills, says one Board member.

Brizard needs to do some bridge-building, although that won’t be easy: two of his objectives are bound to test his relationship

with teachers. He’s trying to shrink the district’s staff, which has resulted in layoffs.

He is also determined to raise the quality of teaching. But past discussions about teacher effectiveness have quickly become entangled in philosophical debates about how to evaluate teachers and about outside influences on student performance.

The district’s critics argue that the district’s budget has grown as its student population has declined. But some of that growth is essential, because the poverty rate among its students has increased. The need for services and more help for teachers has grown.

Brizard needs to try to find a way to win the trust of teachers, however, without abandoning his goals. He needs to try to convince teachers that he values them, that he welcomes their input and participation — and that their rights will be protected while the district makes changes.

But he can not back down on his goals.

City taxpayers, many of whom have their own financial problems and many of whom have children in the schools, must trust that the district has enough money to do its job — but that the money is well spent.

TEACHER EFFECTIVENESS MUST IMPROVE. That can start with reforming the process of evaluating teachers.

The impact of debilitating poverty and low parental involvement are real barriers to student achievement. But no teacher is perfect. Many professionals can improve their performance with coaching and training, but weaknesses need to be identified first. Brizard, like many reform-minded educators, insists that teacher evaluations need dramatic improvement.

“Only about one-third of the district’s teachers are evaluated regularly,” he says. “Some of our tenured teachers are never evaluated.”

In addition, for years there have been complaints that many evaluations are meaningless — that nearly every evaluation finds that the teacher’s performance is satisfactory.

Brizard also insists that evaluations must include assessment of student achievement. Evaluating effectiveness has long been a hot-button issue for teachers unions. But President Obama’s Race to the Top initiative has kicked that door open, giving superintendents like Brizard better ammunition. To qualify for Race to the Top funds, states have to agree to include student performance as part of teacher evaluations.

Brizard sees it as an important milestone.

And, he argues, it will help teachers improve.

Developing meaningful teacher evaluations will require aggressive training for principals and other administrators who conduct the evaluations. And they will have to be held accountable for doing the job right.

Otherwise, Brizard will simply be injecting the system with more paperwork.

IT’S TIME TO R E E VA L U AT E TENURE. Tenure is provided in state law, and the district can’t eliminate it. But the district, Brizard says, has to do a much better job of denying tenure to teachers who are not a good fit for city schools. Ideally, tenure should be an important benefit reserved for the best teachers, he says.

Teachers union president Adam Urbanski doesn’t want to end tenure. And he doesn’t agree with the general perception that tenure is a lifetime guarantee of a job. He’s right; it’s not.

The district can terminate a tenured teacher.

But it takes a lot of time and money to do it.

Since the day he joined the district, Brizard has advocated giving principals more authority while holding them accountable for the academic achievement in their schools. As continues on page 8

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” — The Declaration of Independence.

While it seems that public education has slowly spiraled downward over the last few decades, this is not really the case. In fact, The National Center for Education Statistics shows that the dropout rate among low-income students has steadily declined from 1972 to 2005. Our problem is that schools have changed little, while the world economy has undergone a huge transformation. Industries that served as a safety net for high school dropouts are gone and technology has made the world very small and very flat.

Davis Guggenheim’s movie “Waiting for ‘Superman’” has created quite a bit of angst in the education community and has pitted teacher against teacher, superintendent against superintendent. As an urban educator for nearly 25 years, I can tell you that there are few exaggerations in the movie. Yes, it’s wrong to blame teacher unions for all that ails public education; we are all to blame.

It’s wrong to say that one cannot terminate a tenured teacher, although it is very difficult.

And yes, not all charter schools are great; we have great “regular” public schools that are not showcased in the film. But this is where my issues with the film end.

Allow me to elaborate.

We have a system where we treat teachers as interchangeable parts. Teachers are professionals and need to be treated as such. They must be paid well, but the pay should be differentiated and based in great part on performance. They

must be held accountable for results, and tenure should be an active and difficult process, not a passive one where many get tenure by default. It is too difficult, takes too long, and costs too much money to terminate a tenured teacher or administrator. This is why so many administrators and districts engage in the “dance of the lemons,” transferring ineffective teachers from place to place. Last-in, first-out layoff laws have no place in education, and our legislators in Albany need to correct this issue.

As school districts, we don’t have control of our most important asset in improving student lives — our human capital.

Charter schools are a viable and in some cases a fantastic option for parents and children. They are underfunded on average $4,000 less than district schools in New York State, yet most outperform regular district schools. Why take this option away from our students? Those who oppose charter schools:

Would you be willing to randomly assign your own child to any teacher or any school in New York State? If not, why force other parents to do so? Affluent families have choices; why shouldn’t our less fortunate families?

The biggest difference between a highperforming school (as measured by growth in student achievement, not absolute performance) and a low-performing one is the quality and capacity of the adults in the building. We know that three great teachers in a row can close achievement gaps between white and non-white students and between poor and more affluent students. Adult accountability is the hardest and, for some reason, the most controversial aspect of our work. A real focus on improving the quality of our leaders and teachers is the best and perhaps the only place to start.

with evaluations, though, principals and other administrators will need training.

W E M U S T S H O RT E N AND SIMPLIFY T H E L E N G T H Y, CUMBERSOME PROCESS T H E D I S T R I C T FA C E S WHEN TRYING TO FIRE AN INEFFECTIVE TEACHER, which sometimes takes several years.

Meantime, hundreds of students can fall behind under the care of that teacher.

Firing a teacher requires rigorous documentation. Many principals don’t even attempt it, says Brizard. And if the teacher challenges the termination in court, the process drags on.

“I think we fire fewer than five teachers a year for ineffectiveness, if that,” Brizard says.

Given the large number of teachers the district employs — nearly 4,000 — Brizard believes that five a year doesn’t reflect reality.

Brizard and Urbanski agree that newer and less experienced teachers should receive more help to improve their skills. And while Urbanski says it’s not hard to fire ineffective teachers, teachers shouldn’t be fired arbitrarily, he says. State law guarantees them the right to a fair process.

“Teachers have the right to know what the accusations are, the right to confront their accusers, and the right to their day in court,” says Urbanski. For years, teachers’ job security was subjected to the whims of school administrators and politicians. That abuse is what drove teachers to form unions.

But the pendulum seems to have swung too far in favor of teachers and their unions. New York City, for example, employs eight full-time lawyers and eight retired administrators just to help principals rid schools of sub-par teachers, according to the New York Times.

“The process makes it virtually impossible to remove a teacher within a reasonable amount of time,” New York City schools Chancellor Joel Klein said in the Times interview.

Urbanski argues that although the long, drawn-out terminations that span years get plenty of public attention, they’re the exception, not the norm.

“I do not defend the indefensible,” he says.

“Unless that member can improve, I don’t want that person in the union, the profession, or in the classroom.”

But even an 18-month process, the time allowed Rochester district teachers to improve their skills after a poor evaluation, is too long.

Surely teachers should be expected to show improvement in such things as classroom management, subject knowledge, and teaching skills in less than a year.

Urbanski says that in most cases, they do. But, he says, time is needed to measure results. It’s hard to imagine anything even

remotely comparable to an 18-month period in the private sector, however.

“If the district feels 18 months is too long, let’s talk about it,” says Urbanski. “Are they talking about 16 months or six days?”

IT’S TIME TO E VA L U AT E H O W T E A C H E R S A R E PA I D .

Brizard wants to reward master teachers with higher salaries. “There’s nothing more frustrating for a really excellent teacher who is giving it their all and getting fantastic results with their students than looking next door at the teacher who is not doing such a good job, and getting the same pay or maybe more,” he says.

The unfairness discourages the better skilled teacher, who soon jumps to another district, Brizard says, leaving the district with the average teacher. It’s also unfair to students.

The district and the union are about to test an incentive-pay program that rewards all teachers in a school if they meet specific goals. It’s a tiny step in the right direction.

But it still assumes that every teacher in that school is equally effective — or that differences in effectiveness should not be considered in setting salaries. It still assumes that every teacher of, say, 10 years’ experience, is a better teacher than one who has taught for four years.

W E H AV E T O A D D R E S S THE ISSUE OF LOW PA R E N T I N V O LV E M E N T. It’s irrational to demand higher and higher performance from teachers without asking parents to be more involved with their child’s education. But without that involvement — or something to take its place — we’re unlikely to see dramatic changes in student outcome.

This doesn’t mean that parents have to rush out and join the PTA or flock to School Board meetings. It does mean that more parents need to set expectations, help students build good study habits, and teach them the value of education.

Urbanski is absolutely right when he notes that the typical student spends only about a quarter of the day in school. The rest of the day is spent outside the classroom, presumably much of it at home. Study after study shows that greater parent involvement improves student outcomes.

The Rochester school district already provides dozens of programs to support students from low-income households, everything from meals to basic health care.

Is it reasonable to tell educators they can’t use poverty as an excuse for low student achievement, and not ask the same of parents?

Poor families often have trouble with transportation, and many parents work in jobs with limited flexibility. They may have jobs that won’t allow them to drop everything for a phone call or quick visit to the school. And to be fair, many parents say they have tried to be more involved in school activities, but

OK, so “Waiting for ‘Superman’” was never meant to be a date-night movie. But it’s also not an honest documentary. Instead, it comes across as a misleading infomercial for charter schools. It scapegoats public school teachers and their unions as the main impediment to better schools. And although private funders have already pumped more than $4 million to promote the film ($2 million from the Gates Foundation alone), it earned less than half that much in box-office receipts. Increasingly, the public is not buying the skewed propaganda. And for good reasons.

A recent Stanford University study found that only 17 percent of charter schools are doing better than regular public schools while the rest are getting worse or no better results. Yet, the film does not even mention a good public school or a single bad charter school — hardly a balanced representation of the reality.

And scapegoating teacher unions does not seem warranted, either. If teacher unions and collective bargaining are such an impediment to good schooling, then why are non-bargaining states (Mississippi and Alabama) at the bottom and not at the top of high performance while the most densely unionized states (Massachusetts and Minnesota) are getting the best results? And so are the most unionized countries, such as Finland, Singapore, and South Korea.

Here in Rochester, schools would get better if we could get the district to reduce class sizes, improve school safety and student discipline, promote the replication of promising school models (such as the very successful Freedom School that should have been expanded and replicated but was, instead, ruthlessly shut down by the district), provide greater access to health and social services for students who need them, and restore trust between the teachers and their current superintendent.

predetermined agenda is dismissed as mere “noise.” That is why teachers are losing confidence in Mr. Brizard’s leadership.

Contrary to what is advocated by “Waiting for ‘Superman’” and by Mr. Brizard, blame-fixing and polarization will not get us closer to solutions. Instead, we must all pull together to identify and implement real and fundamental reforms that would get schools more ready for all kids and get all kids more ready for learning. Opting out for the few is not a promising way to improve education for all.

Our challenge is not to merely create a few more exceptions to the norm but rather to make the exception into the norm. Only then will all students have access to the kind of good schools that are now available to only some.

All this can only be accomplished through collaboration and partnerships — not by top-down mandates or by ignoring the collective wisdom of our students’ parents and teachers. And on each of these critical issues, Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard has taken a troubling position. He has pushed for maxing out class sizes in order to “right size” the district. By creating “in-school suspensions,” he contributed to a worsened and less safe school climate. Many of our students have problems that remain unaddressed because of the district’s neglect to provide them the needed health and social services.

Rochester teachers are increasingly frustrated with their current superintendent who, instead of addressing these pressing issues, is blaming teachers while he pushes for merit pay, more charter schools, and a return to a top-down approach to governing of our schools.

don’t feel welcome. Some of the problem may be due to poor communication.

“It depends on how you’re engaging parents,” says Elaine Spaull. “When a principal calls, often parents assume it must be about something bad.” Spaull, who is vice president of City Council, is also director of the Center for Youth, which works with the school district on several programs.

And, she adds, many parents don’t know how to help. “We have parents who go back to Puerto Rico and take their children with them,” says Spaull. “And they don’t know that when you take your kid out of school for 20 days, that’s like dropping out.”

Certainly the district has to do whatever it can to get parents involved. Schools must to be as welcoming and encouraging as possible. But in the end, some parents will not be involved. Some are simply not good parents and may never be — they may suffer from emotional and physical problems, may be drug addicted, may be scarcely out of childhood themselves.

At that point, the community will have to provide the support that parents aren’t providing — whether through something like the Children’s Zone, or massive neighborhood and church outreach, or strong after-school programs and social services staffed by trained professionals. And we will have to be willing to pay for that. Relying on a couple of hours a week from a volunteer tutor isn’t sufficient.

CITY HALL AND SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICIALS MUST PUT ASIDE THEIR DIFFERENCES AND JOIN FORCES. For much of the last two decades, politics and bickering have precluded cooperation on solving the district’s studentachievement problems. Endless arguments over leadership, jobs, budgets, and financial management have created two cultures that, at times, have been extremely divisive. It’s hard to point to any cooperation between the two entities that has resulted in better student outcomes. Instead, there has been a long list of missed opportunities.

Truancy is one example. In a mid-size city like Rochester, the problem should have been resolved years ago. But behind-the-scenes quarrels about student confidentiality and who pays for police and their overtime have been followed by brief program start-ups that soon fizzle.

Another example: Invitations from School Board members to city officials to join the Board’s working committees — the financial committee, for example — have been snubbed. Conversely, former Mayor Bill Johnson has been quite public about how past School Board members asked for his support. But when he made even the smallest recommendations on how the district’s budget 10 City NOVEMBER 17-23, 2010

should be allocated, he says, his ideas were flatly turned down.

District officials also argue that neighborhood crime and instability surround many city schools. Students are often afraid going to and from school, and some live in neighborhoods where drug dealing is rampant. The city, they say, should do a better job reigning in crime.

But city officials, including Mayor Bob Duffy, counter that much of the city’s crime emanates from students who don’t finish school. If the district only did a better job of educating city students, crime would drop, they say.

How much longer will city residents accept the finger-pointing from all sides?

During an interview earlier this year, Duffy said he reached the conclusion that mayoral control over city schools was a necessity. But it wasn’t only because the city contributes more than $119 million to the district’s budget yet has no leverage over how the money is spent. Duffy said he stopped believing that the city and the school district could work together effectively under their current shared-responsibility for city students.

Let’s hope he is wrong. As we’ve seen with school superintendents and School Board members, the players cycle in and cycle out.

And as we’re seeing with the mayor and the police chief, leadership at City Hall can change abruptly, too.

But somehow, at the very least, we must ask them to leave behind a culture that is different than the one that we’ve had. That would be real reform.

None of these seven steps are easy. Some of them will not be popular. But without them,

it’s hard to see how progress will come about.

Rochester’s schools must improve. Our students may not know how dramatically the global economy is going to impact their futures. But we do. They will enter a work force that grows more competitive every day, and they need a public school system that’s up to the challenge.

The finger-pointing and mistrust in the school district and between the district and City Hall must end. It has prevented the kind of cooperation that is essential if Rochester children are to get the education they need. And it has built public mistrust and misunderstanding, eroding faith in the school district.

Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard has set out to make changes in Rochester’s school system that must be made. But no superintendent stays forever. Brizard could press for his reforms, fail to achieve them, and leave with a stellar national reputation — because he tried to do what needed to be done. But Rochester — and the region — will still have to find a way to educate its children. And thousands more children will have been doomed to a future of poverty, illiteracy, and, in many cases, crime.

The corporate-backed, highly propagandized production “Waiting for Superman” holds no promise for understanding the complexities or producing potential solutions for the entrenched, urban, public education crisis. In fact, the misguided film is probably doing more damage than good by clouding rather than illuminating the nature and severity of the crisis.

The film’s fundamental message is that the answer to the urban education crisis is the continued proliferation of publicly funded but often privately controlled charter schools.

The truth is that of the thousands of publicly funded charter schools — which have sprung up exclusively in urban areas, and have been watered by the start-up capital of profiteering businessmen and women — only about 17 percent are performing better than other public schools. The remaining 83 percent are doing no better than traditional public schools, And in many cases, they are doing much worse. They are not a panacea for addressing the devastating, pervasive, systemic,

socioeconomic, political, and cultural issues underlying the urban education crisis.

To improve student outcomes, the following represent two important actions that must be taken. First is abandonment of what has become the “drill and kill” standardized test-prep. Instead, teachers need to devote more time and energy to building the foundation upon which all learning is based: adequate (grade/age-level or above) basic, academic and social skills development (reading, writing, math, cooperation, collaboration, empathy, reciprocity, etc.).

This, of course, is related to reallocating both human and fiscal resources: redirecting resources to support students’ most pressing needs. Some of those needs are so serious and devastating that if they are not addressed, we reduce, if not eliminate, any possibility of educating students well.

Second, regarding parent and community involvement (beyond representatives who are hand-picked): District leaders must move away from shallow rhetoric and make systemic changes. Presently, their claim that they

want that involvement is largely an empty one. The great body of research confirms unequivocally that consistent, meaningful parent and community involvement in schools dramatically increases the prospects of student success. It is difficult enough to get parents and other community members involved, partly because many of them have had negative school experiences themselves. Given that, it’s amazing to see the institutionalized practices and policies that hinder rather than encourage parent and community involvement.

A classic example is the district’s dismantling (during the current school year) a group of democratically elected (via citywide parent elections) parents and community members who served on the District Wide Parent Council. Elected parent representatives have been replaced by a group of parents who were hand-picked by principals or School Based Planning Team members. The community representatives have been eliminated altogether.

For all intents and purposes, often parent “representatives” on School Based Planning Teams are also hand-picked, since Central

Office and many schools do little or nothing to support facilitation of credible elections for parent representatives. Perhaps more important, the parent “representative” who serves on the district’s School Based Planning Team Steering Committee is hand-picked by the administration.

The Steering Committee includes the presidents of all RCSD unions, along with the superintendent, and is involved in shaping important policy decisions. It is scandalous that there is no mechanism for the parent “representative” to even communicate with her constituents regarding important issues that are being discussed.

For decades, I have urged teachers, administrators, and other RCSD employees to take a close look at ideas from the book “The Miseducation of the Black Child,”

by Doctors Nathan and Julia Hare. I don’t think anyone in decision-making positions ever has. Again, the simple truth is that it is highly unlikely that widespread, sustainable improvement will occur without substantial parent and community involvement.

agreements are designed to protect teachers from arbitrary acts of management, not to ensure high-achieving schools. Rochester Teachers Association President Adam Urbanski disagreed, asserting that “good teaching conditions are good learning conditions.” I can accept that good teaching conditions are often good learning conditions but not that they are synonymous.

What role should the teachers unions play in governance? Adam suggested at the forum that teachers should annually elect school leaders (principals, I assume). This takes Adam’s proposition about teaching versus learning conditions one step further.

If student achievement is the goal, do we believe that a leader who appeals to a majority of teachers will be the best equipped to set direction for the school as a whole? Almost by definition, management is about making decisions on behalf of the ultimate beneficiary

— the students, in this case. These decisions may or may not please the majority of staff members. Successful principals nearly always attribute their success to their ability to identify and motivate good teachers — and to address the challenge posed by the weak ones.

While being universally disliked would be a fatal liability in a principal, the best managers would not always win an election.

The union represents the interests of teachers, a right they possess by law. The Board of Education and the superintendent it hires represent the interests of students. Adam Urbanski and Randi Weingarten, head of the American Federation of Teachers, suggest that teachers are unique among the nation’s workers and can be relied upon to place the welfare of their students ahead of their own. Teaching may be sacred work, but teachers are people, not saints.

There are days when the Center for Governmental Research gets my best. And days when it doesn’t. I care about our work, and I’m committed to my colleagues, our trustees, our donors, and our clients. But there are days when other priorities intrude.

“Family comes first” is socially acceptable.

But there are days when I can’t hide behind that. There are days, frankly, when I come first. That doesn’t make me evil. It just makes me human.

Teachers are human, too. They bring the same jumble of motivations to the classroom that I bring to CGR. There are days when the well-being of their students means everything to them. And there are other days when the challenges of work life and the frustrations of home life are simply too much — that’s the day for a movie or a guest speaker. The

interests of teachers and students are related, but they are not the same.

Aligning the interests of employees (at all levels) with those of the owners is the fundamental challenge of management, whether in business, the nonprofit sector, or government. Our premise is that people will be people. Depending on your theology, people are either essentially good — except when they aren’t — or that they are essentially bad, but are socialized to keep their own interests in check.

Only in strains of utopian socialism do we build a society on the assumption that people will always “do the right thing.”

As part of the November 1 panel responding to the movie, “Waiting for ‘Superman,’” I suggested that the premise, “what’s good for teachers is good for students” is implausible. By saying that, I don’t intend to demonize teachers, just recognize that teachers are people. Collective bargaining

Mayoral succession continues from page 4

Rochester needs a fully empowered mayor with the political clout to make sure Rochester gets its fair share of funds from Albany.

A “caretaker” mayor would also have to spend much of his or her time campaigning for the September 2011 primary, said Rochester Business Alliance President Sandy Parker. And a number of projects, including Paetec and MCC’s new downtown campus, would be “irrevocably harmed,” she said, by the loss of momentum.

But Johnson said those arguments are overblown. Rochester is unusual, he said, in that it has had only five mayors in the last 46 years. Other cities have experienced much more turnover, he said, and “they managed to survive change.”

As far as continuity goes, Johnson said, there’s no guarantee that the next mayor will follow the path set by Duffy. He or she may have a brand-new agenda.

Johnson and others said that the mayor should be chosen by the citizenry, and not by “a handful of people behind closed doors.” (The Democratic candidate in a special election would be selected by party leaders.)

“We must trust the people of this community to do the right thing,” Johnson said.

Maplewood resident Beth Olivares said an appointment is actually the choice that promotes the most stability, because the appointee would step right into the office.

And a special election, she said, would be expensive and disruptive.

Council President Lovely Warren has said that Council will decide on either a special election or appointment sometime next month. Warren is on record supporting a special election.

Primary flavors Sodam Korean Restaurant Genesee Valley Regional Market, 900 Jefferson Road, Building 1 475-9810 Mon-Thu 11 a.m.-10 p.m., Fri-Sat 11 a.m.-10:30 p.m. [ REVIEW ] BY JAMES LEACH

I’m always grateful to restaurants that give me something to nibble on while I’m mulling over the menu. Sodam Korean in Henrietta, like all Korean restaurants, offers you a full meal while you think about what to order for dinner — an assortment of small dishes known as banchan. These tasty offerings, which walk the line between condiment and snack food depending on your inclination and degree of restraint, are like a box of culinary crayons. Even before your meal comes, the table is covered with dishes full of primary colors and flavors lovingly prepared by chef and owner Kwangchul Ko: vibrant red, fiery kimchi; deep green, briny seaweed salad; icy white, crunchy bean sprouts; half moons of pickled cucumber dressed with garlic and chili paste; a generous square of sliced tofu, finished with soy, chili, and scallion. Each of these dishes presents elemental flavors and textures

— sweet, sour, salty, spicy, silky smooth, and toothsomely crunchy. In combination, remarkable things happen.

Of course, in order to tinker with the flavors and textures of your food, you first have to find the restaurant — and that can be something of a trick. Like a speakeasy, Sodam is almost hidden at the far end of a converted warehouse in the Genesee Regional Market. Even the sign above the entrance is little help: it still reads “Korean House,” the name that passed with the restaurant when the current owners purchased it five years ago. The only place you’ll find the name Sodam — which means “cheerful” or “delicious” in Korean — is on a sign behind the restaurant’s tinted front door.

In stark contrast to the cinderblock, industrial exterior, Sodam’s dining room is warmly lit and comfortably furnished, hushed even when the restaurant is full to bursting with people lining up for tables at the door.

Within minutes, your waitress will bring you your first round of banchan (you can ask for seconds of your favorites, so don’t feel shy about digging in), and your meal is off to a pleasant start.

An order of shumai ($3.95) is a nice

supplement to your banchan, and a good

illustration of the sort of games that you can play with your food at Sodam. Alone, these are very tasty dumplings, deep-fried rather than steamed, filled with ground shrimp and a bit of crab roe — the essence of saltiness in a crunchy shell. Pick up a bit of kimchi and add a blast of fire and a bit of sourness that brings the briny taste of the shrimp surging forward.

Take up some seaweed and all you’ll notice is the texture of the shrimp and the crunch of the wonton skin.

For those looking for a more substantial appetizer, the pah-jeon — a crispy pancake made of rice flour into which scallions and other vegetables have been mixed — is a good bet ($5.95; with kimchi, $6.95; with seafood, $9.95). Crunchy outside, creamy within, and served still sizzling from the pan, it tastes fresh, its crunch entirely satisfying, and its flavors neutral enough that with the appropriate combination of banchan you can make it anything you want. I’m partial to alternating a dip in the accompanying teriyaki sauce with bits of kimchi and cooling bites of cucumber.

Noodles and soup make up the backbone

of Korean cuisine, and both chef Ko’s soups and stews are built on a delicious homemade white stock that simmers all day long, waiting to be doled out one or

two ladles-full at a time. Into this stock he slides fat handmade rice noodles, slices of beef, beaten egg, and strips of nori to make kargooksu ($8.95). The same soup with delectably chewy discs of rice-stick and dumplings stuffed with beef becomes dukmandu-gook ($9.95).

But the best use of this stock is when Ko pours it over a bowl full of braised beef shortribs and thick glass noodles and then enriches it with a roasted red-pepper powder akin to smoked paprika or chipotle powder — incandescent red with a bit of heat, but not nearly as much as you would expect. This kalbi-tang ($10.95) is served with a set of kitchen shears on the side.

Diners jab the scissors into the broth and snip the fork-tender beef from the bones, spreading bits beefy goodness through the spicy soup, and making the mammoth shortribs into something that can be tackled with a spoon and a pair of chopsticks.

As red as this soup is, it is presents a practically blank canvas. The broth is flavorful with a good balance of sweetness and a nice round mouthfeel, and the ingredients are all perfectly cooked. But it all needs something — and fortunately there are ingredients to help you perfect your meal in easy reach. Grab some kimchi for extra heat, some cucumber for extra crunch and garlic, and then toss in the bean sprouts and a bit more seaweed and a good soup becomes a thing of beauty — something that can only be described as soul-satisfying and healing.

While the soup will heal you, Ko’s pork

bulgogi ($9.95) may well make you believe in a deity again. Those familiar with Korean food know about bulgogi, traditional Korean barbecue in which meat and veggies are cooked on a cast-iron platter and brought to the table preceded by the hissing sound of a hundred angry snakes and trailing clouds of billowing steam.

Chef Ko’s pork bulgogi is stunning: spicy enough to make even the most dedicated chili-head happy, but so flavorful that those with tamer tastes will brave the burn just to taste its peanutty goodness a second time.

Peanuts, pork, and spice are natural allies, but there are no nuts at all in the dish.

Chef Ko thickens his sauce with a toasted rice flour that lends a sweet nuttiness to the final product. Keep the cucumber and sprouts handy: you’ll need them to cut the burn. And the mouth-confusing contrast between burning hot and ice cold will keep you enthralled long after you are too full to do anything but pick at the remains.

Straight No Chaser Friday, November 19 Auditorium Theatre, 875 E Main St 8 p.m. | $28.50-$38.50 | 222-5000

[ A CAPPELLA ] The way I typically picture a cappella

groups maxes out around four or five singers; you know, doo-wop or early R&B. Straight No Chaser sports 10 sets of pipes in its ranks, adding a lot more muscle, flexibility, and opportunities to really get into, out of, and around a song. Just dig its sitcom melody, for instance. This isn’t 50’s collegiate khaki-boy stuff. This is pop, this is cool.

Old School Funk Fest Saturday, November 20 Auditorium Theatre, 875 E Main St 8 p.m. | $47.50-57.50 | 222-5000 [ FUNK ] For those of us cursed with a painful lack of

natural funk, we need a little help finding the groove.

But thankfully, Old School Funk Fest will provide all the assistance we need. The show is headlined by the Ohio Players, led by lead singer Leroy “Sugarfoot” Donner, who hit the top of the charts in the 1970’s with “Fire” and “Love Rollercoaster.” Overall, the bill covers the funk spectrum and timeline from the late 1960’s through the 80’s, with the Bar-Kays (“Soul Finger”), the Dazz Band (“Let It Whip”) and Con Funk Shun (“Ffun”). The display of classic funk will also provide a history lesson, showing where so many modern hip-hop artists got their inspiration (not to mention their samples). — BY RYAN WHIRTY

Jerry Lee Lewis gets a Blue Cheer makeover, Hendrix gets extra funkified, and your head is going to spin.

Speed and grace [ review ] by PALOMA CAPANNA

The audience erupted in a roar as soon as guest violinist Augustin Hadelich lifted his bow off the final note of the Mendelssohn Concerto in E-minor for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 64. The applause was pent up. If Hadelich had been an ice skater, we would have been clapping and cheering throughout his performance with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra Thursday night at Kodak Hall.

The 26-year old violinist did not so much play the violin as he did coax the song forth. As Hadelich bobbed and weaved his body, the 1723 Ex-Kiesewetter Stradivari danced upon the air.

The Mendelssohn was the right choice for Hadelich, the RPO, and guest conductor Larry Rachleff. Hadelich easily met the technical demands of the concerto, and the string section of the RPO continues to deliver with exceptional quality. You would have thought that Hadelich had performed with the orchestra for years.

The first movement started with a romantic lyricism that was at once original and valid. Hadelich’s fingering was clean, and his credenza trills and high notes bound the audience tightly. The second movement was simply heart-wrenching. The third contained all the speed and the grace of hummingbird wings.

The audience was so enthusiastic that it won an encore from Hadelich. After the half hour of Mendelssohn, perhaps something tame? No. Hadelich politely announced his encore would be Paganini’s Caprice No. 24. This piece on its own would be exhausting in its cascades of notes from heaven; its mad, swirling dervishes; the plucking like drops in a rain shower.

Hadelich’s performance captured all the complexities of why the mere mention of “Paganini” can cause a violinist to shudder.

We tried to pull yet another encore out of him, but, alas, he left the stage.

At that point, I looked at my friend and said, “They might as well forget the Brahms; it simply won’t be as good.” I was referring to Brahms’ Symphony No. 1 in cminor, Op. 68. I thought I knew the piece.

Thursday night proved that I did not.

It was evident that Rachleff so loved this symphony that the RPO had fallen in love with it, too. In light of Rachleff’s interpretation of this symphony, I renamed it the “High Seas Symphony,” reflecting the swells and the tempests of the RPO’s performance.

Reed’s crib. It clicked. “I could feel we were onto something within an hour,” he says Both were fans of Bim Skala Bim, Madness, and Fishbone at the time, so what the hell?

They took a stab at a ska tune, then another, and another. They played the stuff for Snyder trying to lure him into the group. He liked what he heard but was busy drumming with Dog’s Life and Koo Koo Boy, as well as playing guitar in The Quitters. He offered to be the interim timekeeper until the band could find a permanent drummer. He soon relented and joined permanently. Pizzuto scoured Eastman students and zeroed in on trombonist Jason Thor (currently lead trombone in The Brian Setzer Orchestra) after seeing him at Kilbourn Hall and later with Justin Flynn and the Jazz Prophets. Saxophonist Matt Blanchard wouldn’t join 5Head until later.

SINGER/SONGWRITER | Reed Waddle

CLASSICAL | Great Poets Set to Music

In order to shed some light, artists have to name-drop a little; there’s no shame, hell, that’s the game. Songwriter Reed Waddle has all sorts of credible appearances on his resume — Mountain Stage, New York Songwriter’s Circle (where he was the 2009 Grand Prize winner), and so on, but the man has shared the stage with Allen Toussaint. ’Nuff said. And it’s the man’s instrumentation that gets him pegged “singer/songwriter,” because if you listen close you’ll hear a soul singer whose songs could wail “Motown” if he ever decided to dress them up. Greg Klyma and the incomparable Brian Coughlin help round out the round.

How the arts doth intertwine, like my loves hang on sweet vines, and of mine ears my heart prays sing, when Eastman Chorale does William Shakespeare bring. How can one refrain from waxing poetic when the 56 voices of the Eastman Chorale advertise an upcoming program with such a sampling of great poets set to music? Vaughan Williams’ settings of Shakespeare. An Elgar setting of Tennyson’s “There is Sweet Music.” And, not to be outdone, two settings of Shakespeare texts titled “William’s Ghosts,” composed by Eastman School of Music Dean Douglas Lowry.

The concert will also include the world premiere of “Spirit that Formed This Scene” by Daniel Shapiro. The Eastman Chorale is conducted by ESM Professor William Weinert (pictured).

ATMOSPHERIC ROCK | Barn Owl, High Aura’d, etc.

What is it about droned-out instrumental music that transports us to places of deep introspection? Slowly, deliberately the background emerges to the foreground, with the slightest tap on a cymbal. Guitars hum, reverberate, and spiral as the setting transposes the listener to another time, place, moment.

Whether it be historical or futuristic, it’s a momentary lapse or the distinct spanning of time, a musical exploration of the cinematic subconscious. As winter’s chill creeps in, spend this Monday wrapped in the spectacular soundscapes that emerge via both Rochester and Boston’s portrayal of the genre.

Check out Barn Owl (pictured), High Aura’d, Crush the Junta, Andy Gilmore, and Jen Marquart Monday, November 22, 8 p.m. at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $6-$8.

Classical Russian-born Kern doesn’t consider her

Russian pianist Olga Kern made her first-ever recording with the RPO. This week she returns to join the orchestra for a Rachmaninoff performance. PHOTO BY CHRISTIAN STEINER

Big love Olga Kern w/Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra Thursday, November 18 & Saturday, November 20 Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre, 26 Gibbs St. Thu 7:30 p.m. & Sat 8 p.m. | $20-$60 | 454-2100, rpo.org [ PROFILE ] BY PALOMA CAPANNA

Every three days, on average, pianist Olga Kern performs somewhere in the world. If it’s Thursday, it’s Wisconsin.

Next it’s Pittsburgh. Then on to Toronto.

This weekend it’s Rochester with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Christopher Seaman, for the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2 in c-minor, op. 18.

Olga Kern has performed 150 concerts per year since 2003, when

she made her first recording, the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 1 in f-sharp minor, op. 1, with the RPO under the baton of Christopher Seaman.

Roughly 1000 concerts and several albums later, Kern still burbles with enthusiasm for Seaman and the RPO. “I can’t wait,” Kern said in a recent telephone interview with City. “Although there have been many orchestras since then, the RPO always will be the first.”

Seaman described that recording in a telephone interview with City: “We had never met her, but in an instant her talent was obvious; she is a terrific artist.”

Kern spoke with equal enthusiasm about the upcoming program. “This Rachmaninoff – it’s very well known, everybody loves this,” Kern say. “Every note Rachmaninoff wrote in this concerto is full of love and passion. The second movement is God to us from heaven. It is so beautifully Russian. It is so romantic.”

ethnicity an advantage for performing Rachmaninoff. “It doesn’t matter where you were born,” Kern says. “If your heart understands what the composer wanted, it will be gorgeous and beautiful.”

Kern has performed since she was 7 years old. “The first time I was on stage with all the lights and the public, I knew I belonged on stage. All my life, this is what I wished for. I never stopped wishing to be recognized, to show the world I love it,” she says.

Kern knew she was going to have to enter competitions if she was going to get the kind of worldwide career she wished for. “I knew the only possibility for a young musician to be heard is in competitions, even though I am not a big fan of competitions,” Kern says.

By 1997, Kern thought she was ready for the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. She had already won the Rachmaninoff International Piano Competition when she was 17. “For all the Russian people, Van Cliburn is a hero, a legend,” Kern says. “I grew up on his recordings, his LPs.” Kern spoke with reverence of Van Cliburn’s 1958 victory at the inaugural Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition.

The Van Cliburn Competition was founded in 1962, and is held every four years. To compete, a pianist must be selected from more than 200 applicants and advance through four elimination rounds during the grueling, three-week competition.

In that 1997 competition, Kern was eliminated in a qualifying round. “I was ready,” Kern says now. “The jury didn’t agree.” Kern went on to add, “That was a long time ago – I don’t even like to remember that.” The gold medal went instead to Jon Nakamatsu, who will perform again with the RPO next March.

Kern remained determined to win the Van Cliburn. “I knew that my wish was to perform. I said, I will show the world,” she says. And win it, she did, tying for first place in 2001 with Stanislav Iodenitch, a competition captured in the documentary “Playing on the Edge.”

Kern’s victory made her the first woman

to win the Van Cliburn since Christina Ortiz in 1969. Although Kern thought it “very special” to be a female gold medalist, she doesn’t think of herself in gender terms. “All music – we are

hands for the composer’s music to be alive. Without us the composers would never be alive. With us, composers come to life,” Kern says. “I am just that instrument – that beautiful sound, never even really thinking woman or man.”

Kern insists that she is living her wish, even though she describes her life as “a big schedule, day after day.” Her life as an international concert pianist was captured in a 2002-2003 documentary “Olga’s Journey,” depicting a seemingly endless blur of hotel rooms, airports, and someone else’s piano.

“The big loves, you do without any problems,” Kern says. “It is more and more easier since the documentary. I learned so much. I know how I need to divide my time: practice, rest, walk a little, son, friends.”

Kern’s son, Vladislav, just turned 12 and is following in his mother’s footsteps. Like Kern, he is attending the Moscow Central Music School. His first public concert was in Milan (Italy) in May 2010 and he recently performed at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall (New York City).

“Of course! I was there,” Kern says.

“I’m a proud mother. He is traveling, practicing, loves it. I didn’t push him; it’s very natural. Like every parent, I am more nervous and more stressed than he is. But he just kept playing encores and playing encores. I see myself in him.”

Kern is unable to spend much time with

her son. She is trying to move him to New York City in a couple of years, but acknowledges that no matter where they live, she is performing all the time on the road. “Home” is two blocks from Carnegie Hall.

“It’s incredible when you’re on that stage,” Kern says. “It feels very intimate.

When you perform any sound, even the softest note, it will still sing to the last possible seat. You will hear it the same way as you hear it on the stage.”

In addition to reconnecting with Seaman and the RPO, Kern is looking forward to the RPO piano for its “warm, nice, deep sound” that is “not bright.” A gift from benefactor Al Davis, Kern used the same piano in her 2003 recording with the RPO. Kern’s intensity carries to the very end of our interview. “Thank you,” she said, “Yes, thank you, this gives me five minutes before the next scheduled phone call.” rochestercitynewspaper.com City 21

EXHIBIT | “eGameRevolution”

Are they addictive? Do they promote violence? What are the health effects? No, we’re not talking about drugs – just video games. It seems like whenever a major new game is released, the topic becomes more controversial. But why?

Figure it out this weekend when the new “eGameRevolution” exhibit opens up at the National Museum of Play.

260 East Avenue • 454.3720 • ArenasF lorist.com

After being greeted by giant figures including Sonic the Hedgehog and Link from “The Legend of Zelda,” guests will be whisked off into a geek’s wonderland. The exhibit features classic console and PC games like Super Mario 64 and Oregon Trail, recreates an old-fashioned video arcade featuring more than 24 operating historic video games (some of them you may remember from last year’s “Videotopia” exhibit), and is decked out with notes and drawings from various game inventors. There is also a giant Tetris game, Guitar Hero, and other highly interactive elements.

“EGame” also features educational exhibits explaining how video games developed from something relatively simple like Pong into elaborate titles like Heavy Rain. You can follow a video-game timeline and find answers to some of the big questions surrounding the gaming industry, and learn about how the industry has impacted the way we play, learn, and relate to each other.

The exhibit opens on Saturday, November 20. In honor of opening weekend, there will be a family dance party 1-4 p.m.

Saturday and Sunday. “eGameRevolution” is included with general museum admission, $9-$11. The museum is located at 1 Manhattan Square. Regular hours are Monday-Thursday 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Friday-Saturday 10 a.m.-8 p.m., and Sunday noon-5 p.m. For more information call 263-2700 or visit museumofplay.org. – BY CAITLIN SHAPIRO Prepare uptempo song and ballad.

Roger Rowley’s “Fruit Plate” is a documentation of vibrant fruit mandalas he created for his children; it is part of “Everything in Time,” now at VSW. PHOTO PROVIDED

Some of the parts “Everything in Time: Maximalist Works by Media Artists” Through December 19 Visual Studies Workshop, 31 Prince St. 442-8676, vsw.org Thursday 5-8 p.m., Friday-Sunday noon-5 p.m. [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Reliably, about 10 minutes into each visit to the Visual Studies Workshop, it dawns on me that I’m going to have to reassess the time limit I reserved for my visit. This time, the impression hit me right away, as I encountered the title wall, which has the very large word “Every” surrounded by a swarm of smaller words, including: dream, Google search, Vietnam movie, pixel, armed conflict, weather report, to-do list, and so on.

The current exhibit in the VSW’s Siskind Gallery is filled with ambitious works that reflect an urgent human curiosity, and urges viewers to rethink daily life through the collecting, compiling, and organizing of blogs, creations, objects, and products. A different sort of understanding regarding individual lives and human culture emerges through the examination of our patterns of thought and action over time.

Aspen Mays’ “Every Leaf on a Tree” is a grid of 885 ink-jet prints on two walls. In some images, the artist’s hand is (literally) visible, posing the leaves, perfectly formed or bugeaten. The curator card states that the work “explores systems of scientific classification and documentation,” the informality of which includes clusters of leaves in each photo, visible 24 City november 17-23, 2010

fingers, and blue painter’s tape used to count-off photographed leaves. This “makes for a critique of the purity of research while preserving the wonder and energy of the pursuit.” An odd act of individual focus documented during a single day, the exercise could be repeated on this tree each year with a whole new catalog of images.

A slide show of “All the World’s Fighter Planes” by Fiona Banner is projected on a wall across from a double column of their names, with more than 100 listed, including “Merlin,” “Super Lynx,” “MIG-23 Flogger.”

Overhead speakers cycle through “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” (with its familiar lyrics of “Glory, Glory, Hallelujah”), trumpet-heavy spy-flick tunes, and rock & roll music. To that playlist I stopped to consider the multitudes of money and resources that go into creating and maintaining these forceful obtainers of resource.

A number of collection books include Karol

Shewmaker’s “Day In, Day Out,” a set of volumes that chronicle every post on several personal blogs during a 26-day span. The artist will eventually commit the volumes to be cataloged in the Library of Congress for posterity, proving that you truly can’t completely erase something that you’ve posted to the internet. Says the wall card: “The project is about changes in publishing and the unfiltering of what is private. Shewmaker registers the excess and sheer volume of chronicling everyday life online.”

In a humorously related work, Anita Di Biano collects revised publishing from various newspapers for her ongoing project, “Corrections and Clarifications,” which she has chronicled from 2001 to 2010, appropriately in newsprint. In one excerpt, the paper clarifies that the World Bank has made an emergency grant, not loan (as previously stated), to Haiti, entirely altering the previously reported reality. This

work showcases the level of (albeit temporary) misinformation going around, and the impact that has on our knowledge of the world.

Three of Patti Ambrogi’s works from her “Cover Girls: Women in History” are included in the show. Each sums up a woman using tiny picture-icons, which together create a symbolic and literal portrait of the woman. Princess Diana’s lovely visage is seen clearly from across the room, but up close, the details in “Diana” include wee images of land mines and other weaponry, and using such materials as road tar and crushed glass, the work creates a visceral documentation of the focus of her life and the cause of her death.

“Fruit Plate” is a massive wall installation in

which Roger Rowley documented each vibrant mandala of arranged berries and bananas, peaches and pears, that he created for his children over the course of a year. Time is marked off with a shift in the types of seasonal fruit available. Gabriela Gundler’s “My Things” documents, in a grid of tiny, individual images, her clothes, dishes, periodicals, tools, work items, and more, creating a faceless portrait of a person and personality.

Miranda Maher’s “After Reasonable Research” is a cramped timeline of every armed conflict both mounted on the gallery’s wall, and also bound on a nearby table. Printed along a chronological line on a fancy, cheerful Italian paper scroll, the history of carnage stretches from early years: “1-5 Germanic people revolt against the Romans,” to recent: “2006 over 3,900 killed in Afghanistan, 4x the death toll of last year.” The particular material chosen to print upon makes a subtly stabbing reminder that “brutal hostility paved the way to civilized sophistication,” per the info-card. Foreseeing no change in human behavior, the artist plans to add to the list for the rest of her life.

DANCE | DANSCORE 2010

If you don’t venture out of the city for your artistic indulgences too often, you’re missing out on many opportunities to enjoy the talents and creativity of the greater region. In an effort to familiarize the Rochester audiences with its nationally recognized dance program, the Department of Dance at SUNY Brockport will bring the 90-minute “DANSCORE 2010,” its annual faculty-choreographed concert, to the city for one performance on Saturday, November 20. The concert’s artistic director, Bill Evans, promises that the show will feature “an astonishing variety of contemporary dance styles and moods performed by the most gifted and accomplished of the department’s pre-professional and returning-professional dance majors.”

The performance will take place at the Hochstein School of Music and Dance (50 N Plymouth Ave), on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. It follows two preview performances Wednesday and Thursday, November 17-18, at 7:30 pm at Brockport’s Hartwell Dance Theatre (Kenyon St., Brockport). Tickets prices for each of the performances are $15 ($10 for seniors, Brockport alumni, faculty and staff, and $8 for students), and can be procured by calling 395-ARTS or at the Tower Fine Arts Center Box Office.

Betrayal, bloodshed, and perversion in Sweden [ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA

“The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest” (R), directed by Daniel Alfredson Now playing

The long, complicated Swedish film trilogy based on three novels by Stieg Larsson, called the Millennium series after the magazine that occupies the moral and political center of the works, reaches its conclusion in “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest.” Like its predecessors, all of them appearing in this country this year, the movie maintains an admirable fidelity to the actions,

people, and themes of its source, which basically conducts an autopsy on its nation’s government.

The picture begins where “The Girl Who Played With Fire” ends, with the transport of the gravely wounded Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) from a scene of bloody violence to a hospital, where emergency brain surgery saves her life. Like the book, it then intercuts among several different plots and a dozen people, all connected in one way or another to Lisbeth and to the investigative reporter Mikael Blomkvist, whose efforts to uncover the corruption of a good many government officials and agencies initiates the action of the whole series.

Shifting from the various stages of Lisbeth’s recovery to the schemes of a rogue agency within Swedish counterintelligence to the investigation of Blomkvist and his colleagues at Millennium, the picture weaves a tapestry of deceit. It suggests that in order to protect a Soviet defector from the old days of the Cold War and conceal its own complicity in that protection, some members of the

security forces sanction drug dealing, smuggling, pandering, and murder. When Blomkvist and his colleagues attempt to investigate a former Russian agent named Alexander Zalachenko (Georgi Staykov), the criminal behind all those activities, they find themselves the target of assassins.

The hornet’s nest of the title, the several connected plots constantly explode into violence to maintain secrecy the security forces send a retired agent to shoot Zalachenko in his hospital bed and then kill himself; they threaten Blomkvist‘s editor, Erika Berger (Lena Endre), then shoot up her apartment; two professional assassins attempt to kill Berger and Blomkvist in a crowded restaurant; Zalachenko’s son, a monster of a man, leaves a trail of corpses in his wake in his flight across the country. Along with the view in the novels and the films of an oppressive right-wing conspiracy within the highest levels of government, all that bloodshed once again suggests a very different Sweden from the common notion of a peaceful, well ordered, enlightened nation enjoying a system of democratic socialism.

The plight of Lisbeth Salander, a victim of the social service system, reveals additional disquieting information about Swedish society. A psychiatrist connected to the security agency arbitrarily diagnoses her as a paranoid schizophrenic, committing her to a mental hospital for several years, some of that time under restraint. The

Returning to the nest “Tamara Drewe” (R), directed by Stephen Frears Coming soon

“Ghost Bird” Directed by Scott Crocker Screens Saturday at the Dryden

movie reaches one of its several climaxes in a trial designed to railroad Lisbeth once more into the care of the shrinker, himself revealed as a pedophile (sexual perversion also haunts the series).

Despite the extreme nature of the subject, the frequent violence, and the sense of moral outrage, the actors, quite familiar by now, perform with a refreshing lack of melodrama.

Understated in manner and quite ordinary in appearance, none of them resembles in any way the usual Hollywood movie star, they look like real people going about the business of doing their jobs and living their lives, and in the case of Blomkvist and his colleagues, conducting the sort of investigation that too few so-called journalists even attempt these days.

The only genuinely extraordinary character in the whole trilogy remains Lisbeth Salander, played to absolute perfection by Noomi Rapace, who seems born for the role. A tiny, pale young woman, decked out in High Gothic splendor, virtually pathological in her stark rejection of feeling and her total absence of affect, she spends most of the movie in silence. She offers no response to police interrogation and even at her trial, speaks rarely and unemotionally, projecting her thoughts and reactions with small gestures and minimal facial expressions. Her performance underscores the remarkable success of the adaptation – rather than looking for a star, the filmmakers found an actor who corresponded to the writer’s vision, something Hollywood ought to try more often.

Though the description includes trotting the globe to boss around the galaxy’s most overpaid life forms, directing is still just a job. And, as with any profession, it stands to reason that directors will have both good days and bad days. The difference is that you’re not charging anyone 10 bucks to watch you work for two hours, which is why I’ve never written your performance review. Stephen Frears, however, can’t hide in his cubicle. Over his colorful career the filmmaker has had his successes (2006’s Oscar-nominated “The Queen”), his failures (2009’s dreadful “Chéri”), and his curiosities (1999’s “The Hi-Lo Country”).

Frears’ latest is “Tamara Drewe,” an English comedy of bedhoppery best described as a successfully curious failure.

You’ve probably seen Gemma Arterton before; a one-time Bond girl (“Quantum of Solace”), she spent last year playing

Gemma Arterton in “Tamara Drewe.” PHOTO COURTESY SONY PICTURES CLASSICS

sassy arm candy in CGI blowouts like “Clash of the Titans” and “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.” Here Arterton puts the “tit” in “titular” as Tamara Drewe, a bodacious journalist whose return to her childhood home in pastoral Dorset whips the local menfolk into a frenzy and sets into motion a series of life-altering events.

Much of the action goes down across the dale from Tamara’s house at a writers’ retreat owned by a philandering novelist (a miscast Roger Allam, “The Queen”) and his long-suffering wife (theater actress Tamsin Greig). Their frequent squabbles provide the residents, including a nosy American scholar (Bill Camp, “Public Enemies) and a lusty farmhand (James McAvoy/Michael Shannon hybrid Luke Evans), with fodder for gossipy speculation.

Based on a graphic novel by Posy Simmonds (who, in turn, took her inspiration from Thomas Hardy’s “Far From The Madding Crowd”), “Tamara Drewe” watches as our heroine juggles her romantic problems over the course of a year, unknowingly manipulated by two totally bored teenagers infatuated with her latest man, a sneering rock star played by fish-eyed Dominic Cooper (“An Education”). There is never any suspense over who will pair off with whom, though an utter lack of chemistry among everyone involved prevents us from giving a fig about any of it. And while Alexandre Desplat’s plinky, aren’t-we-naughty score telegraphs obtrusively, nothing will prepare you for the third act’s wild shift in tone, as tragedy sets in for about 30 seconds before it’s time to affix a pretty bow to it all.

It’s frustrating that things never actually click, because the talented cast appears to be going for broke. Arterton, in particular, is a charmer; sort of the poor man’s Rachel Weisz, she initially comes across as yet another icy English beauty until her face scrunches into an adorably lopsided smile that humanizes her considerably.

Yet despite being the title character, we don’t really get to know Tamara, and not having the needed facts we feel a bit uneasy about our typical cinematic rushes to judgment. Frears does offer up some luscious countryside scenery, and he elicits a wily performance from Jessica Barden as the lovestruck teen Jody, but in trying to maintain the lighthearted vibe of a sex romp, Frears holds neither her nor anyone else accountable for their selfish, surprisingly devastating actions.

Done right, a documentary should be able to take a subject that never really interested you and make it feel like your lifelong passion. Such is the case with Scott Crocker’s absorbing “Ghost Bird,” which explores the possible resurrection of the ivory-billed woodpecker, thought to have been extinct for decades. But some claimed they saw the ivory-bill in a remote bayou outside Brinkley, Arkansas, and when alleged video proof finally made the rounds, a few academics freaked out, and the government began throwing money at the issue. Meanwhile, a tiny town suddenly became a birdwatching mecca, complete with tourist dollars.

But as Crocker speaks to experts and examines the footage, “Ghost Bird” takes on the air of a mystery, making the convincing case that the images actually show a whole ‘nother woodpecker. And it’s not that the interviewees have an ax to grind; they want to believe the ivory-bill exists as much as anyone. The problem, we learn, is that the ivory-bill funding is money that’s being diverted from efforts to save dwindling species that still have a chance. And with songs from the Pixies and Black Heart Procession, “Ghost Bird” treats us to an excellent soundtrack, though one we may not deserve, as drawers and drawers of taxidermied specimens provide surreal, damning evidence of the irreversible damage we’ve done.

A City Hidden Treasure

20 Girton Place

Girton Place is right in the heart of the Park Avenue neighborhood but is truly a hidden city treasure. Number 20 is one of the few houses on this short, quiet, quaint, dead-end street, between Oxford and Goodman, and is just steps away from restaurants, shops, the Rochester Museum and Science Center, churches, bus stops, and much more. Every spring, the famous Oxford Mall magnolias bloom right around the corner. Built in 1890, 20 Girton is located among other architecturally interesting and owneroccupied homes. This two story, 1,688 square foot house has lovely decorative detail, a welcoming front porch, new roof, paver drive way; and the front yard is beautifully landscaped with shrubs and perennials. On closer look, there is an oval spider web lead glass window and to the left of the original front door is an

original hardwood floors and a window seat. The current owner uses this space as living/dining. The kitchen is light and bright with lots of storage. Doors lead from the kitchen to a half bath, to the outside, upstairs and to the basement –where there is a newer furnace with AC, new wiring and laundry.

amethyst lead glass window and mail slot.

$159,900; contact Vincent Associates Realtor Todd Perkins at 451-7409 to see this property. Buy this house now and you can walk to some fun Park Avenue holiday shopping; and spring will find you strolling among the fabled Oxford Street magnolias.

The front door opens into a large central hall with original hard wood floors, window seat and lovely newel post at the foot of the wide stairs to the second floor.

Originally there was a fireplace in this room. The opening was covered at one point, but the chimney remains with the potential of a fireplace again. To the left is a large room with lead glass windows,

Originally a four bedroom house, a previous owner opened a wall between two of the rooms and created a suite with the potential of nursery, office or dressing room. There are two more bedrooms with generous closets for the era. Door handles are glass and one closet has an oval lead glass window. The bath with tub/shower has excellent storage and the attic is a great space.
