Shale drilling and the flaming faucet The flaming faucet is emerging as the symbol of the antihydraulic fracturing movement.

It’s a simple trick, but it grabs people’s attention. All that’s required is a match or lighter and a faucet hooked up to a methane-contaminated well. Turn on the water and stick the flaming whatever in there and WHOOSH. It’s a trick that a lot of people who live near shale gas wells can apparently perform. But there’s a question about whether the contamination is the result of naturally occurring methane, or if it’s caused by nearby drilling.

There’s no definitive answer. The Environmental Protection Agency is conducting a study to find out how or if fracking affects groundwater.

The movie “Gasland” examines this issue and others related to natural gas drilling in shale formations. But many of the issues have the same problem as the flaming faucet: some of them are based in fact, while others are matters of interpretation or opinion.

The life of the party...

The United States and prejudice Just what kind of nation are we?

We’ll get a good sense when Congress gets around to voting on a repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. We’ll get a good sense, in fact, when we learn whether Congress will get around to voting on repeal.

The Pentagon will release a report on repeal on November 30, and it’s expected to say that repeal wouldn’t have a major impact on the military. Maybe then Republicans will decide they can no longer justify clinging to DADT. But their current attitude doesn’t give me much hope.

Everybody knows the arguments in favor of repealing this terrible policy. It has cost us thousands of talented people whose military service the country desperately needs. It puts the federal government in the position of embracing bigotry. It legitimizes the prejudice of Americans who believe that gays and lesbians are lesser beings.

And yet, while human-rights activists and others work to assure the LGBT Community that we support them, that the vast public doesn’t condone the prejudice — while school counselors try to assure gay teenagers that the taunting and humiliation they encounter will pass —the federal government sends the opposite message.

We have a long, long way to go in this country to live up to our principles.

Education can help overcome anti-gay prejudice, certainly. But it is incredibly discouraging that we have to educate members of Congress on things like discrimination and the effect of government-supported hatred.

One important finding from the report has already been leaked: Several media say that when the Pentagon polled active and reserve military troops, more than 70 percent said repeal of DADT would be “positive, mixed, or non-existent.”

American Prospect also notes an ABC News-Washington Post poll that found that 75 percent of the respondents support letting gays and lesbians serve openly in the military. But, notes American Prospect, “there were significant demographic differences, with men (65 percent) and seniors (69 percent) far less likely than women (84 percent) and young adults (81 percent) to say that gays should be allowed to serve if they have disclosed their sexual orientation.”

The Prospect also notes that unfortunately, the people who will vote on DADT’s repeal — members of Congress — fall into the “less likely” demographics.

It is incredibly discouraging that we have to educate members of Congress on things like discrimination and the effect of governmentsupported hatred.”

Their median age: 63. And, of course, there are almost no women.

What to do? Keep trying to educate Congress, I guess. But there’s more than a little chance that the Republicans’ stance has nothing to do with how they really feel about gays in the military. I’d bet that this is just one more example of their determination to oppose anything the president supports.

And speaking of prejudice: I was stunned

to read Charles Blow’s piece in Saturday’s New York Times, “Let’s Rescue the Race Debate.” Blow refers to a recent poll by the Public Religion Research Institute, which, among other things, asked respondents whether they agree or disagree that discrimination against whites “has become as big a problem as discrimination against blacks and other minorities.”

Overall, 54 percent of the people responding disagreed with the statement, and exactly 50 percent of whites disagreed.

That’s a small blessing, I guess. But the breakdown by political leanings is troubling: 62 percent of people categorized as “White Tea Party” agreed with the statement. Fiftysix of white Republicans agreed, and 53 percent of white independents agreed. Only 30 percent of white Democrats agreed.

“My present worry,” wrote Blow, “is that denial may be the new normal and that the hot language of the past summer has cooled and hardened into a permanently warped perception of the very meaning of discrimination and racism. I worry that the last bit of distance between where we are and where we want to be on racial reconciliation is being drawn through evernarrowing, ever-more-treacherous terrain.”

This is very serious stuff.

The real lessons of the election

Mary Anna Towler’s recent Urban Journal, “Election Blues” (November 10), is a long, tiresome rant of “Democrat — good, Republicans (and others) — bad.”

The article suggests that the voters were either too impatient with the “progress” of the Obama administration or too blind to see the wonders of being (fill in the blanks) a Democrat, Liberal, Socialist, or Progressive.

I beg to differ. The lesson to be learned from this midterm, which the writer has missed, is that it is about jobs and outsourcing. It is about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the failure to bring the troops home. It is about the odious stimulus package that has people outside the Beltway wondering why Wall Street is continuing to get bonuses and no bankers have yet to pay the price for their greed.

It is also about the health-care bill that a majority of Americans said no to but were overruled by the politicians and their lobbyists.

It is about the lack of honesty, integrity, and transparency that we were promised by candidate Obama in his administration.

Anyone seen that swamp of corruption drained yet? Has habeas corpus or Posse Comitatus been restored yet?

We are pushed to believe that the incoming crop of elected representatives will cause the end of civilization as we know it. I can tell you that my fellow disaffected Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and Libertarians will no longer play the “game.”

We will hold them and the media accountable for their actions. My suggestion to all my fellow citizens feeling bummed out over the election is to log onto YouTube and search the topic “who really controls America.”

The 3-minute clip by George

Carlin is worth the time. It just may open your eyes.

JAMES SLOWIK, FAIRPORT

Our political Ping-Pong game

“Insanity,” reads the famous quote, “is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” We’ve just had another election, and now the Ping-Pong ball of voter wrath has chosen the Republican side of the net. Now all our troubles are supposedly over. Yawn.

I am greatly saddened by the lack of imagination and intellectual laziness of the American voter. Granted, with the keys to the media firmly in the hands of the wealthy status quo, good information on which to base choices takes some effort to come by. Still, it should be obvious that anyone who takes money from Wall Street, the oil companies, the drug companies, the insurance companies, and the arms industry is beholden to them and will favor their interests over ours.

The Green Party, the Working Families Party, the Labor and Socialist Parties get almost no attention from mainstream media, even though they offer some very good ideas for addressing the serious problems facing the ordinary citizen.

Among them are the repeal of GATT and NAFTA to bring the jobs back to America, a guaranteed annual wage supported by the government so that every job pays a living wage, free universal health care, government subsidy of clean energy and mass transit to combat global warming and create jobs, and public financing of elections to eliminate the graft and bribery that constitute our current system.

The Democrat-Republican Ping-Pong game is doing nothing but heaping our cash on the rich. If we allow it to continue we will lose the engineers, teachers, technicians, and talent we so desperately need to address our problems, for who will invest the money and sweat in an education with no prospect of a job? What will we do when our aging farmers become extinct and no youth step up to this vital work because you can’t earn a living at it? What will we do when our water becomes scarce and undrinkable due to climate change and pollution?

I am tired of eloquent Democrats and avaricious Republicans

playing on our desperation while cuddling up together to suck on the same money pig.

It requires an act of faith in alternatives and the courage to risk if we are to break out of a dysfunctional system, to elect the “unelectable.” What are you going to do?

JOHN KASTNER, ROCHESTER

New York State is ours to save

Re: “Saving the Empire (State)” (October 20: Can Duffy help Cuomo “Save the Empire (State)”? We’ll see. Did he save the city?

We all agree that New York State government is dysfunctional.

Don’t we get the government we voted for? Aren’t we voters responsible for this, not government?

How can we expect government not to be dysfunctional when we voters are?

Don’t we tell government we want one thing, then vote for elected officials who work against our interests? For four years we complain about high taxes, too many regulations, and out-of-control spending.

Then on Election Day we vote our party line and re-elect the big spenders and those who’ve legislated the most oppressive laws and regulations. Are we voters collectively dysfunctional or hypocritical?

Great reform ideas won’t work without good voting. With our voting record, term limits will just be a way to replace one Tammany-ite with another. Gerrymandering reform will only create more patronage jobs while continuing to protect the party in power. Initiative and Referendum will be only an ineffective feel-good political sedative.

Eleven score and seven years ago, our ancestors risked their lives and provided their own firearms to free this country from oppression. Now, more of us don’t vote than do. Of those who vote, most go into the voting booth knowing almost nothing, or nothing, about the candidates, offices being decided, or the issues. By-guess and bygosh, we vote. When we are fed up enough, when we’re willing, when we’re really ready — we can take back our government on the very next Election Day. RICK NUDD, WALWORTH

LOCAL HISTORY | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

A rare look at old New York What began as a hobby for Dr. Seymour Schwartz has turned into a sizeable collection of rare, historically significant maps and prints of North America. The URMC professor of surgery recently donated the portion of the collection focusing on Western New York — more than 40 rare maps, prints, books, and copper engravings — to the University of Rochester.

The collection includes the first map, dated 1724, printed in the Colony of New York, says Nancy Martin, university archivist and Rochester collections librarian.

“It’s one of two in the world,” she says. “The map was represented in

DA I LY S P E C I A L S

Cadwallader Colden’s book, ‘History of the Five Nations.’”

The collection also includes the earliest known drawing of the region, a 1768 etching of the Upper Falls of the Genesee River.

In the era of Google Maps, MapQuest, and GPS devices, the collection offers an unusual look at items used to understand the region in the 1700’s, when it was still mostly wilderness. And it tracks the development of Western New York from its earliest settlements to the construction of the Erie Canal.

Some of the maps and drawings are visually stunning, Martin says.

A good case can be made for using porous surfaces. They limit the amount of runoff entering the sewer system, so they prevent the overburdening of pumping and treatment facilities. And less water entering the facilities means a reduction in the amount of energy and chemicals needed to treat the flows.

Building a better sidewalk surface

Redistricting fight brewing

Think about a typical parking lot during or immediately after a rain storm: there’s a steady layer of water flowing off of that surface, or water puddles up in some of the depressions.

Those traditional surfaces dump gallons of rain — stormwater runoff, technically — into storm drains connected to sewer lines, which then connect with a treatment plant.

Governments in Monroe County, including the City of Rochester, have been trying to reduce the amount of runoff that goes into the sewers. Some new city projects, as well as the county’s new crime lab, incorporate special porous surfaces, which work toward that goal. Porous surfaces are already in use at other locations across Monroe, such as a parking lot in Mendon Ponds Park.

The city will use $2 million in state stormwater system improvement grants to fund several projects. The City Hall parking lot will be repaved with a porous surface.

A new connector street between Emerson and Locust Streets will include special pavement, and its sidewalks will be made of porous concrete. Cornerstone Park will get some porous concrete as well as a rain garden, which is meant to absorb and filter runoff stormwater.

The city is also taking advantage of the special concrete in some tree pits. They’re normally about 3 feet by 3 feet, but porous concrete would help more water reach the tree, says Anne Spaulding, senior environmental associate with the city.

“Often times that area of soil isn’t sufficient for the tree to thrive,” she says.

A good case can be made for using porous surfaces. They limit the amount of runoff entering the sewer system, so they prevent the overburdening of pumping and treatment facilities, says Justin Roj, deputy director of the county’s Department of Environmental Services. And less water entering the facilities means a reduction in the amount of energy and chemicals needed to treat the flows, Roj says.

State legislative redistricting received a lot of attention in this year’s elections. That highstakes process will start in January after the 2010 Census numbers are released, but so will redistricting for the Monroe County Legislature. | And the County Lej will complete its process much quicker than the state: legislators will run on the new lines in 2011. | A committee of legislators traditionally handles the task. But during a press conference on Monday, Legislature Democrats called for an independent redistricting commission free of party leaders and past or present legislators.

The old way politicizes the process and lets legislators choose their voters, they said. They said that they want to work with Republicans to draft legislation to create the commission. | But Republican support is uncertain at best. Majority Leader Dan Quatro said that if Democrats had won the majority in the 2009 elections, they wouldn’t be making the proposal. | Quatro said the process that has been used since the 80’s is bipartisan and fair.

And he points out that in 2001, the Legislature approved the new districts by a 20 to 7 vote.

(The Republicans, however, had an 18-member caucus. Democrats had 10 members, and there was one unaffiliated member.)

Mayor pick: plenty of politicking going on We won’t know how — or when — Rochester will get a new mayor.

City Council has to decide whether to call for a special election this spring or appoint an interim mayor and let a new mayor be chosen in next November’s general election. But plenty is going on behind the scenes, as different factions of the Democratic Party lobby for the type of election they want — and for potential candidates.

And the rumors are building. The big one of the moment: that Democratic Party chief Joe Morelle’s push for a special election is part of a conspiracy led by State Assembly member David Gantt. The goal, according to the rumor: to set up Gantt protégé Lovely Warren, currently president of City Council, to become mayor in 2013.

Here’s how the rumor predicts that happening: After Mayor Bob Duffy heads to Albany, Council would call for a special election, forcing Democratic leaders to pick a single candidate. Democratic leaders would convene and choose current Deputy Mayor Tom Richards.

As the Democrats’ sole candidate, Richards would almost certainly be chosen mayor in the special election, and, according to the rumor, he would name Warren as deputy mayor.

She would spend the next three years learning the ropes in the city administration, gaining visibility.

It has been clear for months that the unexpected vacancy at City Hall would create tension within the party.

From the moment Duffy decided to run for lieutenant governor last spring, Democrats have been lining up to succeed him.

The list of potential candidates includes Molly Clifford, the city’s director of fire administration; Council Vice President Elaine Spaull; and Council member Dana Miller. But Warren’s name has also been mentioned, and if she were to serve as deputy mayor, she would enter the race for mayor in 2012 with a large advantage.

Warren, Gantt, and Morelle all deny, vehemently, that there’s any conspiracy.

“I could give a damn,” Gantt said in a telephone interview last week. “For 40 years, this has always been the same stuff,” he said, referring to periodic rumors that Gantt is behind one political deal or another.

“This has nothing to do with me. This is City Council’s job.”

“There’s always some ‘conspiracy’ I have going,” he said. “Look, this city is over 40 percent black and poor. And I represent most of them. And if people think they’re going to be able to do

something to them without me standing up, then they’re crazy.”

But, he said, “there’s been no conversation. Nobody can tell you — call them and find out — that I’ve had a conversation to tell them how to vote.”

“I’ve helped people get elected,” he said. “But I don’t go around telling people how to vote. And anyone who says that, they’re a G-D liar.”

Morelle says the rumors of collusion

between himself, Gantt, and Warren are “totally untrue” and are “created out of whole cloth.”

Warren said last week that if she were asked, and she said she has not been, she would consider becoming deputy mayor. (She has previously said that she’s not interested in being mayor at this time). But Warren said she has not been approached and she has not cut any deals to assure her ascendancy.

“I would have to consider how it affects my life and my political career and what I want to do,” she said.

Some versions of the rumor have the Gantt machine “paying off” Council Vice President Spaull, who is considering a mayoral run, with the Council presidency.

“I guess everybody has this whole thing figured out,” Warren said. “Except for us getting there.”

Warren said that after an accusation from someone on Council, she even had to send an e-mail assuring Council members that she has not cut any deals.

Gantt and Morelle charge that the rumors are being deliberately planted by people who are either interested in running for mayor or have a preferred candidate.

“They should be ashamed of themselves,” Gantt said.

It’s no secret that Morelle has been trying to rally support for a special

election. That, he says, would provide more stability for the city than appointing an interim mayor and holding a general election next November — which undoubtedly would be preceded by a Democratic primary.

People spreading rumors are trying to create confusion and block a special election, Morelle says, because the only way their preferred candidate can win is if there’s a primary election in September 2011.

But Anthony Plonczynski, leader of the 21st Legislative District, says he has heard the story about a Morelle-Gantt deal from former City Hall staff members and former city elected officials. Asked whether he thinks the story is true, he said: “I couldn’t say 100 percent, because it is a rumor.” But, he added, “It isn’t far-fetched. And there is a fear that it’s true.”

Six Legislative District committee leaders

and one chair have joined together to insist on an appointment, followed by a general election. They say that’s the only democratic way to proceed. At some point, the “power elite” in the city decided that average citizens can’t think for themselves and shouldn’t have a voice, Plonczynski says.

“We belong at the table,” he says.

“They have lost the pulse of the citizens.

They no longer understand the citizens they’re representing.”

Warren pointed out that other candidates can petition to get on the ballot of a special election. But those people would not have the backing of the Democratic Party, and Plonczynski says it’s an inherently unfair arrangement.

At least two of the Legislative District leaders support fire department official Molly Clifford, who they say is accessible and cooperative. That has been especially important to them during the Duffy administration, which they say has leaned too far in favor of the business community.

Plonczynski is one of those two, but he says he’s not “pushing” Clifford on his committee.

“I’m not going to abuse my influence,” he says.

Rumors aside, if City Council decides next month to call for a special election, the presumption has been that Tom Richards would be the party’s candidate. Richards has continued to say that he hasn’t decided whether he would seek the nomination. But if he did, there’s no guarantee he would get it. It’s the Democratic leaders who will select that nominee, not City Council.

Some Democratic insiders say that if the committee were to vote today, it would likely select Clifford as the party’s candidate.

That, too, is speculation. But there’s no doubt that a majority of the LD leaders are upset with Morelle for pushing for the special election. And some of them don’t want Morelle’s preference for a specialelection candidate, Tom Richards.

Shale drilling A N D T H E F L A M I N G FA U C E T

MEDIA | BY JEREMY MOULE

As entertainment, the film “Gasland” unquestionably succeeds: combustible tap water really gets your attention.

But the movie’s pyrotechnic displays and the subsequent attention they’ve received serve another purpose: they draw people into the film and become an entry point into the discussion about natural gas drilling in underground shale formations.

That discussion often focuses on hydraulic fracturing: an extraction technique where a water-based fluid containing chemicals and sand is blasted down a well bore at high pressure. The fluid breaks apart the dense rock and releases the gas.

“Gasland” director Josh Fox set out on a cross-country road trip to learn about drilling and people’s firsthand experiences living near the wells. Viewers learn along with him, which is the film’s strength. And “Gasland” highlights a key aspect of the discussion: what’s known about hydrofracking and the natural gas business versus what’s uncertain or unknown.

The questions Fox poses are the same questions that residents, politicians, and business people across the country are asking: what’s the true effect of hydraulic fracturing on freshwater supplies? Does it make sense to risk environmental damage to extract a fuel that still pollutes, albeit less than coal? And do the economic benefits outweigh the environmental and social costs?

That’s why “Gasland” fits so well into the regional and national discussions of shale drilling.

It’s a critical approach to one side of the debate: that drilling can be harmful to people and to the environment. And Fox does often answer a question after he raises it. Like the larger discussion, some of his responses are based on facts, others on interpretation or opinion.

When a well is fracked, it requires several million gallons of water: that’s not disputed by environmentalists or industry. Fox also compiles a list of some of the chemicals that drillers use in fracking fluid. Those are facts.

The film asks whether it’s wise to invest massive sums of money in developing a finite resource. One response, though it’s not from the film, comes from the national Sierra Club.

10 City NOVEMBER 24-30, 2010

It’s taken the position that natural gas is less environmentally destructive than coal, both in extracting and burning, so it’s preferable.

Local chapters, including the New York State group, have openly disagreed with the national organization’s support of fracking.

Other times, Fox offers up well-placed bits of critical thought: he nails the regulatory environment of natural gas drilling, which combines plenty of loopholes with weakened oversight agencies.

But every question, every answer, and every discussion point builds off of one overarching theme: is hydraulic fracturing safe? The answer depends on who’s talking and how that person or group defines safe.

Fox makes water the focus of “Gasland”

right from the start. He talks reverently about the streams on his 19.5-acre property in Milanville, Pennsylvania, which feed into the Delaware River. The river supplies drinking water for New York City, Philadelphia, and points in-between. He also tells of the $4,750an-acre land-lease offer he received from a gas company because his property’s on top of the Marcellus Shale. A lot of his neighbors, he says, had already signed similar leases.

It’s that offer that spawned his cross-country road trip and effort to collect the experiences of people affected by natural gas drilling. He travels to Colorado, Wyoming, Texas, and spends considerable time in his home state.

In each place, residents talk about their wellwater contamination. In Dimock, Pennsylvania, residents complain of turbidity, and of chemical smells, and methane contamination in their water. They blame nearby drilling and fracking.

Contamination is a big worry of environmentalists, as well as some public officials and people living above the shale. They fear that fracking fluid could flow through underground cracks and mix with ground water supplies.

Richard Young, a SUNY Geneseo geology professor, says the networks of fissures and faults in New York’s rock beds are not well known.

Major faults have been identified, he says, but many smaller faults probably exist. When he assisted with the county Pure Waters system’s deep rock tunnel system project in Rochester, he says he discovered 35 previously unknown faults.

The tunnel system carries stormwater overflow to the Van Lare treatment plant.

The underground cracks are under varying amounts of pressure, and the water flows between the different pressure areas. It’s possible that fracking could change the pressures and the paths of cracks, Young says. There are bound to be conduits that run from deep areas to shallower areas, he says, and he says he worries that fracking fluid could flow into groundwater or even water wells.

“We don’t know enough,” Young says.

The energy companies consistently argue that once the water’s underground, it stays in place. They also say that there has never been an incident that conclusively tied a single contaminated water well to a single natural gas well. But there’s never been an authoritative study of the issue either, at least not one that’s widely seen as credible.

Water contamination complaints are not unique to Dimock. They’re the driving force behind an Environmental Protection Agency study examining whether hydrofracking poses a threat to drinking water supplies.

The results are at least two years away, so for now, the link between gas wells and aquifer contamination is uncertain.

There is consensus, however, that surface spills of drilling fluid can contaminate surface and ground water, a situation that occurred in Dimock. Fracking fluid containing known carcinogens seeped into a creek, say news reports.

Around the same time, the state environmental agency reported a fish kill in the creek. State environmental officials fined the company, which now also has to pay $11.8 million to connect the affected residents to a public water line.

The process of fracking an L-shaped horizontal

well requires more than one million gallons of water, and often several million gallons. In New York, thousands of these wells are likely, which makes for potentially massive water demands.

Upstate New Yorkers prize the region’s freshwater resources — its lakes and streams — and much of the population relies on them for drinking water. So the prospect of drillers siphoning out millions upon millions of gallons hasn’t always gone over well. Because of the volume, however, drilling companies will have to

apply for a permit to make the withdrawals.

If the companies want to take that water from the Delaware River basin, they’ll need permission from the multi-state Delaware River Basin Commission. Part of the river and its basin is near the southeast tip of New York.

Water is the chief ingredient in fracking fluid, and that’s why so much of it would be needed for drilling. Sand is mixed in to prop open the cracks in the shattered rock and chemicals are added to ease the fluid’s flow through the well bore and rock.

Hydrofracking critics have said that information about the chemical mixtures isn’t publicly available in any meaningful way. The federal Environmental Protection Agency has hastened such disclosures as part of its study: they’ve collected the recipes of several companies and subpoenaed Halliburton for its recipe.

Some of the water that’s forced down the bore stays underground. The rest comes up and can contain brine, heavy metals, and even uranium. And New York’s part of the Marcellus Shale is radioactive in some places.

That used fluid — produced water, in the industry lingo — can be reused. A website for the Marcellus Shale Coalition, an industry group, says that on average, drillers recycle 60 percent of the water.

If the water isn’t reused, it needs to be heavily treated. In New York, there are not nearly enough water-treatment facilities up to the task of cleaning the highly toxic fluid.

Municipal treatment plants aren’t going to cut it. That leaves a lot of questions about what’s going to happen with that water.

On site, the water gets stored in lined pits or tanks, which, critics say, can and do develop leaks.

Early in “Gasland,” Fox presents footage of

natural gas industry executives addressing a congressional committee. The footage comes from a hearing to decide whether to direct EPA to conduct a hydrofracking study. The executives argue that no further study is needed and that the states can adequately regulate drilling activity. Hydrofracking is safe, they say, and reports linking the technique to groundwater contamination are inaccurate.

Fox builds an argument that energy companies, including those that operate in shale fields and use hydrofracking, received special treatment in a 2005 congressional energy bill. He says former Vice President Dick Cheney ushered through a bill that exempted hydrofracking from environmental laws. The gas drilling industry and its supporters say that’s inaccurate.

Brian Sampson, executive director of Unshackle Upstate, a coalition of New York business and trade organizations, says the industry is subject to major federal clean water and clean air laws. He also says that natural gas extraction is a matter of balance. New York needs energy and would otherwise import natural gas.

He argues that New York has strong regulations, environmental protections, and oversight.

“New York has an excellent history of regulating and balancing the competing needs of our natural resources,” Sampson wrote in an e-mail.

But the safety of drilling operations depends on getting all of the steps right.

That’s especially true of the cement casing around the upper portion of the well bore, which blocks off the well from groundwater layers. If the concrete fails and the casing cracks, that protection is lost and groundwater contamination is possible. And where humans are involved, error is inevitable.

Part of ensuring safe drilling is regulatory oversight and routine inspections. Environmental groups and state workers have said that New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation lacks the staff to do this adequately.

It’s not a knock on the staff’s abilities, but rather a matter of numbers. There are only a handful of DEC employees statewide who monitor thousands of gas and oil wells.

The state DEC is also developing a new supplemental environmental review for the combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing in the Marcellus and Utica Shales. The document, which has not been finalized, lays out safety, mitigation, and environmental protection standards that drillers will have to follow in order to get and keep a well permit. Environmental and watchdog groups have criticized the document.

Drilling certainly involves a lot of money.

Landowners make money off of lease agreements and royalty payments. The government makes money off of taxes. Local businesses start to see more customers, either from the locals who have jobs on the drill rigs, or from the out-of-towners who get the drilling started.

Unshackle Upstate’s Sampson points out a Broome County study that estimated some of the benefits over a 10-year period.

The study estimates that 2,000 wells would generate $7.6 billion in economic activity: approximately $400 million in wages, salaries, and benefits; more than $600 million in property tax revenues; and more than $22 million in state and local taxes.

The real question, however, is what happens when the wells run dry? Will the booming communities go bust?

Or what happens if the drilling leaves behind an environmental mess? Who will clean it up and will the damage be irreversible?

These questions can only be answered in time. New Yorkers can look at other communities for some ideas, but each area’s experiences are somewhat unique.

Likewise, New Yorkers and Americans as a whole should start thinking about what happens when the natural gas runs out.

Where will our power come from? What are the consequences of continued fossil fuel extraction and consumption?

Then the question becomes: do we want to endure increasing risk for a short-term supply of fossil fuels? Or do we want to start moving to sustainable options?

“Gasland” could also drive that conversation.

Director Josh Fox will be in Rochester on November 30 for a screening of his film, “Gasland.” The event, part of 360/365’s new director series, starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Little Theatre, 240 East Avenue. Tickets are $12, $8 for seniors and students.

Worth the drive [ CHOW HOUND ] BY SUSIE HUME

If asked how far we’d drive to find a good meal, most of us would probably limit our answer to 20 to 30 miles. But Wayne Hobbs drives nearly 2000 miles each month to Tennessee and Kentucky in order to pick up catfish and country sausage (respectively) to serve at Trinities Restaurant, which he coowns with his brother-in-law Shawn Larkin.

The restaurant specializing in Southern and Caribbean cuisine opened last month in the location formerly occupied by Pazzo Cucina, located in the Executive Building at the corner of West Main and Fitzhugh streets.

“I’m not sure if it’s the water the catfish are raised in or what,” says Hobbs, “but there is no comparison to what you buy here locally.

Some people who don’t even eat catfish have tried it and they were sold on it. So it is definitely worth the drive.”

Both Hobbs and Larkin are recently retired and have nearly 40 years of cooking experience, from Hobbs’ catering for church groups to Larkin working as a cook in the Navy. Hobbs moved to Rochester four years ago and dreamed of opening a restaurant that would pair both quality Southern cuisine (and Caribbean, which Hobbs grew up eating and cooking as well) with Southern hospitality; retirement finally offered the opportunity by providing the time and capital to invest in such a venture.

Trinities Restaurant offers a breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu Monday through Saturday and a brunch buffet every Sunday. Breakfast offerings include standards like eggs, bacon, and sausage mixed with Southern specialties like buttermilk biscuits, grits, and countryfried steak served with gravy. The lunch menu

features items like a pulled-pork sandwich or a jerk-chicken salad (standard fare like burgers and fries are also served). For dinner, diners can choose from entrees like Southern-style catfish dinner (featuring the aforementioned Tennessee catfish), barbeque ribs, and, on Thursdays, oxtail and curry chicken; side choices include collard greens, mac and cheese, fried green tomatoes, baked beans, corn on the cob, and more.

“We’ve already been accused of serving people too much food,” says Hobbs. “In the South, when you get up from the table, you’re full; you don’t have to go home and eat something else.”

Currently no liquor is served at Trinities, but Hobbs plans to have a liquor license in the next few weeks. Prices range from $1.95 (an egg, toast, and meat breakfast special) to $12.95 (a New York-strip offered only on Wednesdays), but most items fall between $6 and $9. The Sunday brunch buffet costs $9.95 and features most of the entrees and sides served throughout the week.

Trinities Restaurant is located at 36 W. Main St. It is open Monday-Wednesday 7 a.m.-7 p.m., Thursday-Friday 7 a.m.-9 p.m., Saturday 7 a.m.-7 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m.4 p.m. For more information, call 319-4047 or visit trinitiesrestaurant.com.

National franchise becomes locally owned café

After six years of operating three Camille’s Sidewalk Café restaurants — a national franchise with locations in 14 states — owner Mike Linehan has gone private. Last month he closed down all three Camille’s locations for a couple of days before re-opening each as a

While the restaurants offer similar café fare (soups, salads, panini, and pizza), the new menu has been modeled after Linehan family favorites.

The breakfast menu features five varieties of breakfast pizzas (like sausage, veggie, or “the works”), as well as breakfast sandwiches, wraps, and burritos (all priced from $5.49 to $5.99).

It also offers seven smoothies from mango to peanut-butter cup, or the option to create your own (all priced at $3.79). Lunch and dinner entrees range from $6.99 to $7.99 and include pizzas, wraps, panini, and salads. Some notable inclusions are “Gram’s Waldorf Chicken Salad” sandwich featuring chicken, rosemary, apples, grapes, sliced almonds and Swiss cheese on a croissant, and the “Linny’s Sand” sandwich offering thinly sliced corned beef, coleslaw, remoulade, and Swiss on pumpernickel.

Colie’s Café has three locations: 657 Park Avenue, 3349 Monroe Avenue, and in Eastview Mall, 7979 Pittsford-Victor Road.

For more information, visit coliescafe.com.

Five Guys makes it four

National franchise Five Guys Burgers has opened a fourth location in the Rochester area. The newest branch opened last month in Greece in Ridgecrest Plaza. The other three restaurants are located in Webster (1075 Ridge Road), Henrietta (1100 Jefferson Road), and Pittsford (3349 Monroe Avenue). The restaurant chain is known for its simple menu of only burgers, hot dogs, and fries, all of which are cooked to order. While the menu may seem limited, Five Guys allows diners to customize toppings to their heart’s (or stomach’s) content at no extra charge. Some topping choices include grilled onions, mushrooms, or jalapeno peppers, and condiments like steak sauce.

Five Guys in Greece is located at 1948 Ridge Road West. It is open daily 11 a.m.-10 p.m. For more information, call 730-7922 or visit fiveguys.com.

Closings

Longstanding upscale restaurant Crystal Barn closed its doors last month. The Pittsford restaurant was open for nearly 25 years. Owner George Gerakos cited the economy as the reason for its closing, noting a steep decline in revenue over the past couple of years. The restaurant’s website simply states, “The Crystal Barn is now closed. Thank you for 25 wonderful years!”

After moving from a small, but primo location on Park Ave to a larger but less trafficked area on South Goodman Street in 2007, KC Tea & Noodles has closed.

The restaurant was known for its pan-fried noodle dishes, sushi, and many varieties of bubble tea. Attempts to reach owners Jimmy and Ky Poon to determine a reason for its closing were unsuccessful.

Born to fly, opts to strut [ review ] by frank de blase

Fans at Joe Bonamassa’s show at the Auditorium Theatre Tuesday, November 16, may disagree with me, but this Uticaborn guitar slinger doesn’t play the blues.

He plays rock ‘n’ roll. However, his rock ‘n’ roll features the blues much in the same way Stevie Ray Vaughan’s blues had the rock ‘n’ rolls.

Bonamassa packed ‘em in; roughly 1500 beer-guzzling fans of big, bluesguzzling guitar. And that’s just what they got. Bonamassa’s guitar tone was immense, though muddy in spots when volume and the venue’s sensitive acoustics came head to head. And much like champions of British electric blues like Robin Trower, Bonamassa took more than a few trips skyward, where guitar neck morphs into guitar body with a stinging sustain that bordered on infinity.

If you walked into the joint the morning after I’m sure some of those notes would have still been singing.

The Beaumonts hit the Water Street Stage Friday night with an impressive front line to warm up for 5Head’s onetime-only (I remain dubious) reunion.

The Beaumonts brandished considerable brass — and I’m not just talking about Suzi Willpower singing her head off. Since

I’d last heard the band, where it rocked it trio-style, the band has dialed down to a mid-tempo focus with interesting hooks and turns. There were exuberant bits and bursts, but the band is maturing.

5Head followed the coconut-headmonkey jumbotron with an extremely fun-filled set that could very well have simply reeked of nostalgia. However, the band is still relevant, and its contributions needed. Ask any one of the hundreds in attendance. Horn-driven rock ’n’ roll and goofy humor can solve or cure just about anything, except maybe the hiccups.

Saturday night I clawed my way into the Auditorium Theatre just in time to hear Sugarfoot’s Ohio Players tearing it up on “Love Rollercoaster.” The well dressed crowd went bananas. The horns were on fire and the rhythm section was dynamite.

Simply unparalleled funk and soul.

Later that night I dined on swine while Garden State guitar wiz Billy Hector rocked the Dinosaur. Hector has a pocketful of flashy tricks, but his reserve adds class to his style. He can shift from bare-bone Texas shuffle to a stratospheric wail all in the context of roadhouse rock ’n’ roll. The man can fly, but opts to strut, and that is so cool.

The band that would become The Jet Black Berries

The Jet Black Berries made a big local (and national) splash before breaking up in 1988. The band reuinted for the Scorgies Reunion a few years back, and just released its first new album in 22 years. PHOTO PROVIDED

The cool remains The Jet Black Berries CD release show w/The Spacelords and The Absolutes Friday, November 26 Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. 7:30 p.m. | $6-$8 | 454-2966, bugjar.com myspace.com/thejetblackberries [ PROFILE ] By Frank De Blase

The Jet Black Berries are back from a shallow grave.

Though the band hung it up in 1988, its core members — drummer Roy Stein, bassist Gary Trainer, and guitarist Chris Yockel — had stuck together in other projects like the Raw Magillys and The Atomic Swindlers. So when The Bop Shop’s Tom Kohn dug the band up for a Scorgies reunion concert two years ago, he didn’t have to dig too deep or twist any arms. Stein, Trainer, and Yockel, along with singer Johnny Cummings and keyboardist Mark Schwartz, were down.

But the risk in any comeback is the potential for undoing the cool for the sake of a little “remember when?” The Jet Black Berries was a tres-cool outfit with an ominous, psycho-sexual swagger that had been etched in fans’ minds. Stein didn’t sweat it. It was just gonna be a one-off show.

“There was no risk, because we didn’t intend to do it,” he says. “And it was just the easiest thing to put back together. We went in the studio to bang out a single to promote the show and get some local airplay.”

But original vocalist Kevin Patrick was long gone and had no interest in the project. Instead the band looked within its ranks and approached Atomic Swindlers keyboardist Cummings. The band had been around longer than he’d been alive, yet 16 City NOVEMBER 24-30, 2010

Cummings opened his mouth and Stein and the others were knocked out.

“When he first sang,” Stein says, “Gary and I were behind the glass. He sang two lines and Gary looked at me and said, ‘Holy fuck.’” The band’s killer performance at the Scorgies reunion concert at the German House Theatre in November 2008 cleared up any remaining doubt or reluctance.

“The show was a blast,” says Stein. “So we said, ‘Let’s just do some more.’ This time, because I could do the engineering, we made the record that we wanted to make. We didn’t have to compromise in any way. We just did what felt good. We didn’t have to explain to an engineer or a producer. We just did our own thing.”

Two years later The Jet Black Berries are back with

“Postmodern Ghosts,” released on Bug Digital — the band’s first album in 22 years. No cool had been undone; it had been matched on the new disc, and in some cases exceeded.

But it’s more than just a Jet Black throwback.

“Johnny has a wider vocal range,” Stein says.

“Technology is different now. I think the spirit of the band is the same. We’re a dark band, we’ve always been dark. Johnny brought a different piece to the band; his ability to do string arrangements and different kinds of keyboard layering and harmonies.

We never had a harmony ever before.”

The updated lushness did nothing to diminish the psychedelic romance and doom, but rather added a pleasant, somewhat dreamy accessibility.

The band unanimously credits Cummings.

“They let me be myself as opposed to match up to what was,” Cummings says. “The band was proven. That was evident at the Scorgies show.

There were hundreds of people that knew their stuff singing along. I was really taken aback.”

hit the Rochester scene in 1977 as the more punk, heavy-sounding New Math. The punk buzz was in its infancy, and kids clamored for the records they read about in Xeroxed fanzines. It was an exciting time in the Rochester music scene, and bands like New Math began to spring up quickly.

“It drew from artists like Iggy Pop and The Velvet Underground. It wasn’t about how well you could play,” Trainer says. “It was just about raw rock ’n’ roll music, writing our own material.”

New Math released two EPs and toured the East Coast with bands like The Psychedelic Furs. The band hit local joints like The Penny Arcade (where the more conventional, mainstream rock fans pelted the band with eggs), and the Orange Monkey.

New Math was the first band to play downstairs on Scorgies’ main stage.

But by 1984 tastes outside — as well as within — the band had changed. With the musical shift came the updated name. “The style of music changed,” says Stein. “We had been a pretty heavy, four-on-the- floor, very thick and powerful, Britishsounding band. And we started to get enamored of the kind of cowpunk sound, so we changed our style.

We wanted to do something different. We changed our name even though it was all the same members.”

In fact, New Math introduced The Jet Black Berries at its first show.

“We actually opened for ourselves,” Trainer says.

The band was quickly picked up by Enigma/ Restless and put out three albums, and also contributed to the “Return of the Living Dead” soundtrack. The band ultimately dissolved in 1988.

Trainer and Stein formed The Raw Magillys with

Stein’s wife, April Laragy (who shows up on several tracks on “Post Modern Ghosts”), and guitarist Sue Veneer before producing the cosmic-cowboy stardust of The Atomic Swindlers. The Swindlers are on hiatus while the boys explore the Jet Black Berries possibilities.

“Postmodern Ghosts” is getting a considerable amount of airplay — including the single “God with a Gun,” which debuted at No. 5 on the Clear Channel charts — for a band that isn’t exactly new and pretty, and doesn’t even have a street team.

Trainer takes a stab at the phenomenon.

“I think people sense that we’re authentic,” he says. “That we’re real — we have been all along.

We do it because we love to do it, we want to do it.

We’re a real band; we’ve been at it a long time. We’ve actually beaten the odds being together as long as we’ve been together.”

“There are five of us,” Stein says. “We all have different talents, we merge them pretty well. And we tell each other when something sucks. I mean, we’ll be all over each other so fast…” But it’s for the sake of the music. No one gets hurt.

“No,” says Yockel. “The blood was on the floor 20 years ago.”

ROCK | THE VEINS

JAZZ | MIKE KAUPA QUARTET

It’s The Veins, baby. Sure, I’m a booster for the Rochester rock ’n’ roll in general, and I talk a big game, but this is one of our city’s best bands of any genre or era. It’s melodic, it’s heavy, it’s majestic. The Veins are versatile, too; an acoustic album has been in the works for a while, and the band fits anywhere --- big room, or in this case, little room with big, pre-holiday drunks. Mazel tov! Dig more great rock on the bill with The Cheetah Whores and Anchorage Nebraska.

Trumpeter Mike Kaupa has been one of the most valuable players on the Rochester jazz scene for decades. He’s been a long-time performer and outstanding soloist in the Dave Rivello Ensemble and in many of the groups playing at the Strathallan.

He is also well known across the Atlantic, in Barcelona, Spain, where he records with the group Onix. Back in the United States, the list of stars he has lent his talents to includes Ray Charles, Steve Gadd, Gary Bartz, and Luciana Souza. The common denominator whenever he plays is his gorgeous tone and his ability to produce breathtaking melodic runs.

The Veins perform Wednesday, November 24, 9 p.m. at Monty’s Krown, 875 Monroe Ave. $3. 271-7050.

AMERICANA | BettySoo

If a friend said you were going to see a critically acclaimed, folk-rocking singer-songwriter from Austin who reminds people of Lucinda Williams and Patty Griffin, then got to Lovin’ Cup and saw BettySoo on stage, you might think your friend was playing a practical joke. Because as a KoreanAmerican who barely clears 5’ tall, BettySoo doesn’t exactly look the part of an alt-country star on the rise. But then she belts out one of her award-winning, heartbreaking ballads, leavened with an edgy wit, you’re made a believer, and your stereotypes go up in smoke. BettySoo — yes, that’s her real name — is the real deal, as her third full-length album, “Heat Sin Water Skin,” gloriously demonstrates.

Dance Audiences know Pennewell, 52, as a virtuoso

Members of Garth Fagan Dance perform “Thanks Forty,” the new work choreographed by Fagan himself. PHOTO BY YI-CHUN WU

Four decades down Garth Fagan Dance Tuesday, November 30-Sunday, December 5 Nazareth College Arts Center, 4245 East Ave. $40-$55 | 389-2170, artscenter.naz.edu [ PREVIEW ] BY CASEY CARLSEN

Forty years old is a venerable age for a moderndance company, and Garth Fagan, himself age 70, has every reason to be proud of his company’s achievements as it celebrates four decades in existence this month. Fagan has led the Rochester-based, internationally acclaimed company for more than half of his life, garnishing critical praise, major awards — including his 1998 Tony for choreographing “The Lion King” on Broadway — and the acclaim of audiences along the way.

The Rochester connection dates back to 1970, when Fagan became a professor at SUNY Brockport. Fagan had already performed for years as part of Ivy Baxter’s Jamaican National Dance Company (Fagan is originally from Jamaica). The 1960’s found him in New York City, immersed in the vibrant modern-dance movement of that decade, studying under Martha Graham, Jose Limon, and — someone he considers a primary mentor in his life

— Alvin Ailey. Fagan recalls one night spent dreaming and philosophizing in Ailey’s loft with Ailey and Romare Bearden, the distinguished Harlem artist who was, at that time, working on sets for one of Ailey’s shows.

“I was a kid and they already had reputations,” Fagan tells City. “They taught me so much about that life, about surviving, about racism — but never with any bitterness. I had just started my company and they encouraged me.”

In those early years in Rochester, Fagan started teaching a class of completely untrained students in a SUNY-affiliated dance class. The aspiring choreographer bestowed upon this group the modest, but far-seeing name Bottom of the Bucket But...

Dance Theatre, and, voila, he had a company.

Today, only Steve Humphrey remains from the original troupe; at 58, he is an outstanding example of the longevity Fagan’s technique nurtures in his dancers.

Next week Fagan will hold the Rochester premiere of the next newly choreographed piece audiences have come to expect from him each autumn. This season is also the first in which another choreographer will contribute to the program. The debut work of Norwood “PJ” Pennewell, a 32-yearveteran of Garth Fagan Dance, is on the playbill for every performance of the troupe’s upcoming Nazareth Arts Center run.

dancer; he is one of five company members who have received New York Dance and Performance Awards (also known as Bessies). He’s still dancing superbly, but Fagan has long been aware of another side of Pennewell, who also serves as Fagan’s rehearsal director and assistant.

“He’s been giving the company exquisite movements and progressions in class for years,” Fagan said in a recent interview.

Pennewell described his piece as an homage to Fagan. Certainly, many distinguishing features of the master’s unique blend of modern, African, and classical dance are apparent in his protégé’s work.

“It’s not uncustomary in the dance world for there to be some crossover when a choreographer emerges from a group led by an influential pioneer,” Pennewell says.

But Fagan is quick to point out that Pennewell has his own distinctive voice. “The syntax you are using is not the syntax I would have used, the spatial dimensions you are using are not the spatial dimensions I would have used, and the movements you have your dancers doing are not the movements I would have them doing,” he says to his colleague. “It’s the work of a younger man. It’s fresh. It has youth, but it’s not immature,” Fagan says.

Pennewell’s first foray into choreography was

favorably reviewed in The New York Times when it was premiered as part of the company’s fall season at New York City’s Joyce Theater earlier this month. Dance critic Claudia La Rocco dubbed it a “promising, sophisticated start” for Pennewell.

His piece, “Hylozoic,” features 11 dancers and is set to music by John Adams, Adam Rudolph, and Yusef Lateef. One of the most distinctive sections, however, shows two columns of dancers moving in place without any music. The thwacking of bare feet against wooden floor acts as a kind of call and answer back and forth across the lines, centering the audience, drawing them in. The lack of music fine tunes our concentration on each movement, piquing our awareness of an escalating awakening amongst the dancers as undulations pass through torsos like shivers, and shrugs punctuate movements like questions marks. Then the music returns, the dancers leap and twirl, and the audience rises up from its seats.

Pennewell demonstrates a flair for the sensual as well; his duets are a particular pleasure to watch. When Vitolio Jeune embraces principal dancer Nicolette Depass, then lightly draws his fingers across her cheek, the movement forcefully communicates his passion.

Depass also figures largely in Fagan’s powerful new work, “Thanks Forty,” a celebration of his company’s four decades.

In “MUSE – Work,” the first section of the four-part piece, Fagan asks much of Depass,

and she delivers. She possesses both the balletic grace and the lioness-like strength needed to hit and hold unearthly balances, balances that can require even more than movement — not that her leaps are anything to sneer at. Her jetes give the men in the next section, “JUMP – Earn,” something to aspire to. This part is all about speed, height, and masculinity, with the four men sprinting in circles and stampeding across the stage together, catapulting themselves into the wings. Yet Fagan is master of his craft enough to endow the smallest of movements with hints of tenderness that speak, perhaps, to the loving husbands or fathers in these powerful men. Or in himself.

These first two sections are set to cello

music by Dmitri Shostakovich. The third act switches gears to Angolan composer Bonga Kuenda’s melodic percussion score in “HEAL – Pray,” which features four women: Kaori Otani, Lindsay Renea, Shanon Castle, and Amshel Padilla. This rhythmically complex quartet opens to the sounds of birds and a waterfall (Fagan’s own canary Rasta contributes to the recording), but soon gives way to melodic African rhythms as the women weave graciously through closely shared space, radiating serenity. Otani shines as she pulls off intricate, spiraling turns in the thick of the group, somehow wrapping her own leg around herself in dazzling, flamingo-like inside turns.

The final section, “FETE – Joys,” is crafted to look like a release — all the dancers are back with big smiles and celebratory moods, filling the stage with an array of social dances. But don’t let the dancers’ seeming ease fool you; the number is actually dense with complicated choreography.

“It’s like a watch,” Fagan says. “Very complex. But it has to look free, like a party, everybody letting go. We have to celebrate.”

That’s a philosophy Fagan advocates in real life as well. “The mortgage still isn’t paid, but we have to celebrate,” he says, in reference to the group’s well documented financial struggles. “We’re sold out in countries around the world before we arrive, we perform to standing ovations and rave reviews...people are enjoying our work, we’re giving them something they like. So at the end we need to celebrate so that we can all leave the theater feeling a little bit lighter.”

Other selections to be presented from the Fagan repertoire include last year’s critically acclaimed “MUDAN 175/39,” set to classical and contemporary Chinese music by the Ying Quartet, an excerpt from “Woza,” set to music by “The Lion King” composer Lebo M, and “Prelude: Discipline is Freedom,” perhaps Fagan’s best known work. Excerpts from “Senku,” “DANCECOLLAGEFORROMIE,” and “Griot New York” will also be part of some programs. rochestercitynewspaper.com City 21

THEATER | “A Christmas Carol” Even if he is rumored to be the most despised man in London, it’s still tough to get that warm Christmas feeling without his sneers and appalling attitude. How else would we be reminded to stay kind and patient throughout the hectic holiday season if it weren’t for Ebenezer Scrooge?

After a two-year absence from its stage, Geva brings back Charles Dickens’ classic “A Christmas Carol” for a new musical production this year. The show features veteran stage actors, a gaggle of local children, and elaborate sets and costumes. It previews Friday, November 26, through Tuesday, November 30, and officially opens Wednesday, December 1, before running through December 26. For a full list of show times visit gevatheatre.org; tickets cost $20-$65.

If your “Bah! Humbug!” fix isn’t fulfilled, visit the theater Monday, December 6, to get a behind-the-scenes look at “A Christmas Carol” from 6 to 8 p.m. Geva’s Magic in the Making event gives guests a chance to discover what it takes to put on a show, from lighting to sound design to scenery creation to the costume and prop shops. Admission is free, and reservations aren’t required.

Finally, if you’re a big Dickens fan, don’t miss “Mr. Dickens is Coming,” a one-man show featuring Gerald Charles Dickens — the great-great-grandson of the famed author — which will be performed at Geva for one night only on Saturday, December 4. The contemporary Dickens will bring to life scenes from his ancestor’s works and share diary extracts and observations from those who knew and worked with him. Tickets cost $25 and are moving fast.

DANCE | Contra Festival

So you’ve tried to tango, but you and your partner didn’t look quite like that sexy couple dancing next to you. Or maybe you’ve tried to waltz like Belle, but your partner was a little too Beast-ly on the dance floor. Don’t give up on your dancing dreams — instead try contra dancing, a style similar to square dancing. You can dance off those Turkey Day calories at the 27th Annual Thanksgiving Contra Festival, Friday and Saturday, November 26-27.

Contra dance is a style in which couples dance in two facing lines, and take turns dancing with other couples. Traditionally contra dance couples were male and female, but gender-free couples have been gaining popularity since the 1970’s.

The dances typically follow old-time, Irish, Scottish, or French Canadian rhythms. The Thanksgiving festival will feature music by Tunescape, a band that uses a piano, accordion, and fiddle to create tunes inspired by Ireland, New England, and Scandinavia. The Figments, a trio of musicians who will also be featured at the event, can perform various styles from elegant waltz accompaniment to gypsy-jazz improv. If you get tired of dancing the weekend away, bring your instrument and jam out with others.

Festivities begin at the Salem United Church of Christ (60 Bittner St.) at 8 p.m. Friday and continue through Saturday at 10 p.m. Tickets are $15-$46, $12-$34 for students with ID; advanced registration is encouraged but not necessary. For more information call 256-2689 or visit rochestercontra.com.

The cast of Blackfriars’ “Shakespeare in Hollywood.” PHOTO BY BARY SIEGEL

Lights, camera, Oberon “Shakespeare in Hollywood” Through December 11 Blackfriars Theatre, 795 E Main St. $15-$27 | 454-1260, blackfriars.org [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK

He’s been dead nearly 400 years, but William Shakespeare is still one of the hardest-working men in show business. His plays remain staples of live theater, and over the past century many of them have been translated into films hundreds of times, either as direct adaptations or as the inspiration for twists on his familiar tales. Blackfriars’ current production, “Shakespeare in Hollywood,” has some fun with the Bard’s cinematic exploits, specifically the production of Warner Bros. 1935 film version of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

Despite some significant problems with the play itself, the production is charming and thoroughly entertaining, and a real testament to the talent of its cast and crew.

“Hollywood” was written by Ken Ludwig (“Lend Me a Tenor,” “Crazy for You”), and commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company. Like its spiritual cousin “Kiss Me Kate,” it more or less tells the story of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” vis-à-vis a fictionalized take on the filming of the 1930’s movie version of the play. Many of the 24 City november 24-30, 2010

characters in the show are interpretations of the cast and crew of the film, including director Max Reinhardt, producer Jack Warner, and actors Dick Powell, Jimmy Cagney, and Joe E. Brown. (Curiously, both leading ladies from the film have been recast for this play.) Those real-life Hollywood types are put through their paces after the Oberon and Puck of myth (and Shakespeare’s play) accidentally materialize on the film set, and go about making fools fall in love, turning assholes into asses, and experiencing the finer points of Hollywood life.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard an audience laugh

so much or so often at a Blackfriars show.

“Shakespeare” is a crowd-pleaser, and while the concept for the show is a smart one and the script includes some very funny lines, I give a lot of that credit to the cast and directors John Haldoupis and Linda Starkweather. Together they elevate material that could have been merely cute and turn it into something that produces real belly laughs.

Mark Scott Almekinder portrays veteran director Max Reinhardt, who fled to Hollywood from Austria to escape the encroaching Nazi movement. In real life Reinhardt couldn’t speak a word of English during filming; in the play he speaks through a thick Eastern European accent, which Almekinder uses to great effect to underscore his fantastic sarcastic wit. Peter J. Doyle’s Jack Warner is all blustering businessman

until his girlfriend suddenly, inexplicably falls for another man, and then he turns into a big softie. Doyle nicely underplays several scenes that could have easily gone overboard.

The play really crackles the instant Cindy Hill sashays on stage as Lydia Lansing, Warner’s chorus-girl girlfriend eager to shed her reputation as one of the Top 10 sluts of Hollywood (what an honor!) by appearing in a prestige picture like “Midsummer.” Hill does go over the top in her gum-smacking, Jersey-accented, dim-bulb performance, but it’s precisely what the role calls for, and she is outrageously funny in every scene she’s in. The other female lead, Meghan Rose Tonery as Olivia Darnell, is lovely, restrained, and sweet, and believable each time she falls in love — at least three times, by my count — during the course of the play. One of those love interests is baseball-flick player Joe E. Brown, played sublimely by Doug Kester, who is funnier in drag than any of the queens of Rochester.

I was initially cool toward Marguerite Frarey’s portrayal of the wood spirit Puck. Puck is the embodiment of mischief, but Frarey initially played him like a hyperactive preteen.

As the show went along on opening night she tapped into Puck’s naughtier instincts, and ended the show with a more rounded-out version of the character. Fred Neurnberg is an obvious choice to play Oberon, king of the fairies, and he does not disappoint. He is by turns fanciful, imperious, spiteful, smitten, giddy, and exasperated, but he never loses that quintessential regal air. Plus, listening to Neurnberg reciting even snippets of Shakespeare in that warm, weathered voice is a pleasure.

You’ll get bits from many of Shakespeare’s

plays via Ludwig’s script — in the introduction he calls himself a “Shakespeare addict to end all addicts.” Unfortunately he doesn’t trust his audience enough to catch them, and they’re frequently blatantly ID’d by the characters.

That level of obviousness can be found throughout the script, and it’s disappointing, because Ludwig is capable of some sparkling dialogue. He just has a tendency to go for the easy wordplay whenever it presents itself.

That lack of restraint can also be found in Ludwig’s frustrating decision to have characters directly address the audience, seemingly at random. I debated whether this was in deliberate homage to Shakespeare and his legendary soliloquies, but I don’t think that’s the case — some of them are used as an easy way to unload exposition (Reinhardt), some of them are used again to make sure the audience gets what’s going on (Olivia’s “letters” to her mother, informing her of her obvious feelings toward Oberon), and others are just bizarre. Why does the audience need to hear a brief recounting of the life of pioneering gossipmonger Louella Parsons, especially when she’s so tangential to the proceedings?

KIDS EVENT | “Ghostbusters” at the Little

Halloween may have passed, but “Ghostbusters” will always be in season. The paranormal-pursuing team of scientists and ex-professors runs a booming ghost investigation and riddance service for haunted New Yorkers with supernatural pest infestations. When a new client needs help with a fridgedwelling poltergeist, they soon realize that her problem involves the more serious matter of a doorway to hell, and the threat of demonic evil being unleashed on the city. Good times.

If you haven’t yet introduced your kids to the classic goofyspooky movie, visit the Little Theatre (240 East Ave.) on Saturday, November 27, at 10 a.m. Relive your favorite moments with the gross-out but relatively harmless Slimer, supernatural sewage sludge, beam-crossing, and of course, the spot-on deadpan humor of a young Bill Murray. The film will be screened as part of the “Little Buddies” film series held once a month. Tickets are $5 at the door. For more information, call 258-0400 or visit thelittle.org.

RECREATION | Turkey Day Races

To be perfectly honest, the last thing I want to think about on a federal holiday is getting out of my pajamas before common decency requires it. Which is why I seriously salute the sort of folk who would sign up for one of the races taking place on Thanksgiving, a day popularly reserved for gorging, not forging a firmer bod. If you’re looking for a foot race this Thursday, November 25, check out the following: YellowJacket Racing and Fleet Feet Sports will host the 39th Webster Turkey Trot at Webster Park (255 Holt Road, Webster).

SPECIAL EVENT | Warren Miller’s “Wintervention”

Move over hypothermia, and shove frost bite to the site — there’s not much keeping these thrill seekers grounded, literally.

They are daredevils; master of their sports, and not much seems to scare them. Tenacious skiers and snowboarders from around the world show off their extreme athletic talents in Warren Miller’s “Wintervention,” the director’s newest feature film for the snow-obsessed, coming to Rochester this week.

“Wintervention” highlights the growing popularity in Heliskiing, which requires catching a seat on a helicopter as opposed to a chair lift and navigating an off-trail slope. Just to get their fix, adventurers will also navigate some of the world’s roughest waters in the Drake Passage, on the way to Antarctica to ski ancient glaciers. These people must have mastered the bunny slope before falling out of the womb.

The film chronicles small groups of these snow devotees ripping up slopes in places like Utah, Alaska, Austria, and Norway and features Olympic gold medalists like Lindsey Vonn and Jonny Moseley.

“Wintervention” will be presented at the Auditorium Theatre (885 E Main St.) on Friday, December 3, at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $26.25. For more information call 222-5000 or visit rbtl.org.

A presidency of falsehood, betrayal, and treason [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“Fair Game” (PG-13), directed by Doug Liman Now playing

Like “The Social Network,” the new movie “Fair Game” benefits from the historical relevance of its subject, a story familiar to anyone who reads the newspapers or watches the nightly news. Its appeal also derives from its dramatization of its very recent historical context, the actual events behind the shameful practices of the previous presidential administration, supported by a whole pack of lapdogs in a complaisant and craven media.

The film begins with a sequence showing the dangerous work of the covert CIA agent Valerie Plame (Naomi Watts), running a delicate operation in Kuala Lumpur, where she demonstrates intelligence and courage. Her professional activity continues throughout the film, notably including the recruitment of an Iraqi doctor working in the United States who undertakes a mission to Baghdad to determine the truth about Saddam Hussein’s nuclear program.

To investigate that program further, Vice President Dick Cheney, also requests a CIA inquiry into Iraq’s acquisition of yellow cake uranium from the African nation of Niger, an act that galvanizes the Bush administration’s machinery of mendacity.

Plame recommends her husband, Joe Wilson (Sean Penn), a retired diplomat, former ambassador to Niger with many contacts there, the man Bush the elder called “an American hero” for his brave work in arranging the transfer of endangered Americans from Iraq during the first Gulf War. As the world knows, Wilson found no evidence of any production or export of uranium; the

administration wanted another answer, however, and consequently George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, and Colin Powell asserted the famous falsehoods about weapons of mass destruction, and America launched its blitzkrieg, “shock and awe,” guaranteeing our endless war in the Middle East.

Beyond that history, of course, lies the story of Joe Wilson’s statement in a New York Times op-ed that he found no evidence to support the administration’s lies, a revelation that triggered a full-scale attack by the administration and the media. Interspersed among television news footage of Bush, Cheney, Rice, et. al. purveying their prevarications, the picture shows Karl Rove (Adam LeFevre) and Scooter Libby (David Andrews) plotting the destruction of Plame and Wilson, exposing her identity as an agent and suggesting that she arranged his unpaid mission to a nation the UN calls the “least livable” in the world as a junket for her husband.

In addition to the viciousness of the administration, the picture shows the sycophancy of an accommodating media, manipulated by the powerful, too lazy to look for the truth, too timid to question anything involving the invasion of Iraq. The late Robert Novak, serving as a conduit for Dick Cheney’s slanders of Plame and Wilson, compounded the act of treason by publishing Plame’s identity, ruining her career and incidentally causing the arrest and murder of many of

Breaking news [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“Morning Glory” (PG-13), directed by Roger Michell Now playing

her agents abroad. When some of the truth emerged, other servile conservatives in the press spread the administration’s lies that Plame in fact worked as a lowly secretary in the CIA. In recounting the events of a sordid history, “Fair Game” skips perhaps too lightly over the craven complicity of politicians from both parties, the press, and of course, the gullibility of the populace. It shows, however, the personal and professional price the government’s betrayals exacted from Plame and Wilson, and the familiar isolation of an individual with integrity in an organization full of cowards and weaklings.

Although both Naomi Watts and Sean Penn perform competently as the famous couple, the movie too often interrupts the progress of its real-life thriller plot with their boring quarrels as their marriage begins to collapse under the weight of exposure and attack. He finally convinces her that his appearances on TV talk shows vindicate their stance; the picture ends, appropriately with footage of the real Valerie Plame testifying before a Senate committee, in effect providing the inspiration for the film itself.

The archival footage, together with the material from both Plame’s and Wilson’s books about the whole case, provides a compelling and exciting document of one of the many despicable acts of a corrupt and illegitimate presidency.

Few political thrillers convey so successfully so powerful a sense of outrage, a reaction, alas, that few dared to express only a few years ago.

Did you know that Harrison Ford was once a carpenter, just like Jesus Christ? Oh, the similarities don’t end there; Christ never won an Academy Award, and Ford never will either.

Sure, Ford’s been nominated (for 1985’s “Witness”), but one nod in 40 years of stratospheric success is certainly nothing to crow about. You have perhaps noticed by now that Ford is a laughably limited actor, one who for the last few decades has turned in performances that are essentially variations on Han Solo: surly and bored, surly and confused, surly and afraid of snakes, etc. But somehow it works. The steadfast appeal of Ford, I think, lies in the fact that he really doesn’t care whether we — or Oscar voters, for that matter — adore him.

Acting, like building cabinets for George Lucas, is simply a job.

Now a silver fox at 68 years old, Ford’s tried-and-true approach has been honed into something more curmudgeonly, which he puts to

effective use as a pompous newsman in the frivolous but enjoyable “Morning Glory.” And while Ford’s the marquee name here, he actually plays second banana to the charming Rachel McAdams as Becky Fuller, an ambitious young producer who finds herself with the unenviable task of saving a low-rated network morning show. Becky loses her job at a New Jersey station as “Morning Glory” opens, and after a few nail-biting seconds of unemployment, Becky finally lands at the unfortunately initialed IBS in Manhattan as the executive producer of “Daybreak.” Her boss (Jeff Goldblum, always a deadpan pleasure) is especially intrigued when this daffy but enthusiastic woman immediately sacks the show’s pervy co-anchor (scene-stealer Ty Burrell from TV’s “Modern Family”).

Enter Ford’s Mike Pomeroy, a veteran journalist riding out the last few years of his indenture to IBS. (Among his brushes with on-the-job danger, he informs Becky, are dragging Colin Powell from a burning Jeep AND lunching with Dick Cheney.) The initially starstruck Becky finds a loophole in his contract as a means of hardballing the reluctant Pomeroy into joining the “Daybreak” family, and the balance of the admittedly predictable “Morning Glory” observes as the idealistic Becky butts heads with the selfish, jaded Pomeroy over what is and isn’t beneath his lofty journalistic standards. Caught in the middle, it should be noted, is the ever-luminous Diane Keaton as Colleen Peck, the fed-up former beauty queen who co-hosts “Daybreak” with Pomeroy and whose exasperation grows as she gamely tries to compensate for his refusal to banter on air.

British filmmaker Roger Michell is in charge here, and though Michell is no stranger to more complicated material

(Netflix 2003’s “The Mother” and 2004’s “Enduring Love”), “Morning Glory” has more in common with his fluffier stories, such as the flawless 1995 adaptation of “Persuasion” and 1999’s wildly successful “Notting Hill.” Working from an intermittently witty (and surprisingly R-rated) script by Aline Brosh McKenna (“The Devil Wears Prada”) that doesn’t feel the need to say anything terribly groundbreaking about the state of what’s now called infotainment, Michell knows enough to merely point the camera at his talented cast — as well as a sparkly New York City — and let them do what they do best. Keaton offers up another version of her now-perfected kooky WASP shtick, and her try-anything attitude (including sumo-wrestling and dropping rhymes alongside 50 Cent) nicely offsets Ford’s growly pigheadedness.

Truthfully, “Morning Glory” might be most memorable for the starmaking turn of McAdams, who fares much better here than she did in last year’s “Sherlock Holmes.” McAdams has been kicking around for a little bit (I’m afraid if I bring up “The Notebook” someone might start blubbering), but her role as Becky, one that calls for everything from subtly heartbreaking monologues to screwball physical comedy, serves notice to the Katherine Heigls of this world that it’s possible to be smart and sexy and funny and honest, all at once.

Now, I haven’t even mentioned Becky’s love interest, played by the uninspiring Patrick Wilson. “Morning Glory” establishes their bond early — and thankfully refrains from complicating the relationship between Becky and Pomeroy with any MayDecember ickyness — because Becky snagging a boyfriend isn’t the film’s point. Becky’s true love is her career; the men are merely mistresses.

Cottage-Style Living in the Heart of the City 30 May Street Just off Mount Hope Avenue and within view of historic and enchanting Mount Hope Cemetery are several quiet residential streets with an intriguing array of architecture. May Street is one of these streets, and the house at 30 May is calling for an owner seeking an older house with character on a quiet residential street, but within a brisk walk or short bus/car ride from the University of Rochester and Medical Center, now our region’s largest employer.

The quaint front of the circa 1900 house grabs attention because it has that cozy cottage look; ornamental siding and woodwork over the covered stoop welcomes you cheerfully and colorfully. While the house is not expansive at 1,171 square feet, it is bigger than it looks, stretching a good ways towards the back of the lot. Inside you’ll be soothed with calming earth tone colors in the spacious foyer, the living room, and dining room. The living room features floor to ceiling windows— in the winter you can sit by a window (and your cat by the other), and soak in that Vitamin D that your body craves. Off the foyer is a sizable alcove, with a large window, that the current owners use as a dining room.

The kitchen has two personalities: one part is more modernly styled, with trendy track lighting; the other part has a country flair, with some exposed brick, and includes a cozy, bright breakfast nook under an angled

ceiling. Off the kitchen is a skylit laundry/ utility room, with a door to the backyard.

The stairs to the second floor split oddly (but with character!) near the top, with a couple of steps leading to the left to the bathroom, and the steps to the right leading to the two bedrooms.

The master bedroom, tucked under the roof, has the angles that many people prefer over the perfectly box-shaped room. A third room upstairs could serve as an office or a nursery.

Outside, a side yard and back yard offer space for recreating, relaxing, and gardening.

The backyard shed offers convenient storage for yard tools and supplies, bicycles, the badminton set, and the like.

May Street is close to the myriad restaurants and services of Mount Hope Avenue, and to idyllic Highland Park. It is served by the organized and active Upper Mount Hope Neighborhood Association (www.umhn.com).

This nifty abode and advantageous location can be yours for $99,000; contact Nothnagle agent Peggy Keenan at 585-905-9972. For more photos and information, go to http:// rochestercityliving.com/property/R128471.

[ rehabilitating mr. wiggles ] BY neil swaab

[ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Surreal Estate: Sixty-two percent of the 12 million people of Mumbai, India, live in slums, but the city is also home to Mukesh Ambani’s 27-story private residence (37,000 square feet, 600 employees serving a family of five), reported to cost about $1 billion.

According to an October New York Times dispatch, there are “terraces upon terraces,” “four-story hanging gardens,” “airborne swimming pools,” and a room where “artificial weather” can be created. Ambani and his brother inherited their father’s textile-exporting juggernaut but notoriously spend much of their time in intra-family feuding. A local domestic worker told the Times (after noting that both she and Ambani are “human being(s)”) that she has difficulty understanding why the Ambanis have so much while she struggles on the equivalent of $90 a month.

Can’t Possibly Be True — Stacey Herald, 36, of Dry Ridge, Ky., is 28 inches tall, with a rare condition called Osteogenisis Imperfecta, which causes brittle bones and underdeveloped organs -- provoking doctors’ warnings that childbirth could cause the fetus to crush Stacey’s lungs and heart (and produce a baby susceptible for life to broken legs and arms). However, to the delight of husband Wil, 27 (and 69 inches tall), Stacey recently gave birth to baby No. 3 and promised more. The middle child, 2, without OI, is already a foot taller than Stacey, but the other two are afflicted, with the recent one (according to a July ABC News report) 5 inches long at birth, weighing 2 pounds, 10 ounces.

— Prolific: (1) In October, police arrested a man arriving at the Madras, India, airport from Sri Lanka, bringing

precious stones into the country in his stomach. After employing laxatives, police recovered 2,080 diamonds. (2) William Wright, 54, was arrested in St. Petersburg, Fla., in October and charged with using a hidden camera in a ladies’ room to photograph a young girl. Charges are still pending from 2009 when police said Wright had taken “upskirt” photos of more than 2,300 women.

— Safari World, the well-known and controversial zoo on the outskirts of Bangkok, has previously stupefied the world (and News of the Weird readers) by training orangutans to play basketball, ride motorbikes and kickbox (while outfitted in martial-arts trunks). In a photo essay in November, London’s Daily Mail showcased the park’s most recent success -- training elephants to tightrope-walk (where they prance on a reinforced cable for 15 meters and then, displaying astonishing balance, turn around on the wire).

Last Words (1) Ms. Rajini Narayan’s lawyer told the court in Adelaide, Australia, in September that she killed her husband by accident after intending only to torch his penis for alleged infidelities. The lawyer said she might have lost control of the gasoline she was holding when her husband said, “No, you won’t (burn me), you fat dumb bitch.” (2) In May, when a fox terrier answered a call of nature in the yard of notoriously lawn-fastidious Charles Clements, 69, in Chicago, Clements confronted the dog’s 23-yearold owner. That led to mutual bravado, which continued even after Clements pulled a gun. The dog-walker was killed immediately after shouting (according to witnesses), “Next time you pull out a pistol, why don’t you use it.”

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 33 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t limit the possibilities by sitting at home. Be a participant and you will meet someone who is fun to be with and is looking for the same thing you are.

Taking a course, short trip or joining a dating service will all lead to love and romance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will meet someone through work or school but, before you make a move, find out if the person you meet is single.

You’ll attract partners who are off-limits but may not be too clear about status and the potential to make a commitment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Time is on your side. Take part in activities you enjoy and flirt and have fun with the people you meet. Narrow down your options by choosing potential partners with whom you feel you have chemistry and similar interests and goals.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You cannot force anyone to be your one and only but you can enjoy the company of someone who interests you and do your best to charm this person into wanting to be by your side. A positive, fun-loving attitude is hard to resist.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It won’t take much to win someone’s love and affection. Your outgoing nature will attract attention and entice someone to join you. Keep things honest or you may face a bit of a dilemma if word gets out that you have other love interests.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Personal problems will surface, costing you emotionally and financially. This will make it difficult to take part in social activities geared toward meeting people. Don’t despair -- someone close to you is interested in being with you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Introductions through a neighbor, relative or peer are likely.

Conversations will allow you to see someone you’ve known for some time in a different light.

Don’t dismiss the possibility of turning a friendship into something more.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You will meet someone quite different who will captivate your mind, body and soul.

Apply your magnetic charm and persuasive way of luring someone who interests you to your side, and you will make a worthwhile connection.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t let someone from your past stand in our way. Get out and take part in activities that you find challenging and exhilarating and you will meet your match. A love relationship that has the potential to go the distance is apparent.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can have fun socially but don’t make a promise that you don’t intend to keep. Someone will take you seriously and come looking for you at an inconvenient moment. Keep things simple, to the point and completely honest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your intriguing dialogue will win appreciation as well as instant romance with someone mesmerized by your knowledge, confidence and expertise. The more worldly you appear, the greater the romantic possibilities. Enjoy the moment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): No matter how you approach someone, you will send the wrong signal. Unexpected disagreements and a lack of sympathy will leave you wondering what happened. Deception is apparent and secret affairs will end sorrowfully.
