Challenging the church
On “The Church Inside the Catholic Church,” our interview with National Catholic Reporter columnist Jamie Manson: This
woman is not a Catholic, by any means. Ignoring the teachings of the church or saying that the church must change doctrine to reflect the views of the secular society makes her a Protestant. Maybe not by declaration, but certainly by her actions. DALE JENSEN
That the Catholic Church needs to change is obvious to all but the blinkered. Personally, I do not see acceptance of gay marriage. However, I do see the ordination of women. The institutional church proclaims the equality of men and women, but when push comes to shove, does not practice it. If the leaders of the Church want to be taken seriously as moral teachers and leaders, hypocrisy is not the way to go. Where in the New Testament does it say that a marriage can be between two women or two men? Who am I to judge gay people, when we all fall short and we are all sinners? Just because we sin doesn’t mean that we should celebrate or agree with that sin. PATRICIA LEE MURPHY
Assessing Ginna
On “The Nuclear Option: Ginna’s Future in Jeopardy”: Utility companies, regulators, 2 CITY
and the general public must seek a balance between obtaining low prices, energy security, and the need for a diversified supply base for both economic and supply reasons. One issue not really addressed in the article is the environmental impact if Ginna shuts down and the replacement electricity is supplied from fossil-fuelsourced plants. Even natural gas has some emissions, although they are much lower than coal-fired plants. Conservation efforts and solar/hydro sources might help in the long term, but I do not think they would contribute in the short term. MIKE
New York City already has influenced our state enough; when does this influence end for the remainder of the state? MICHAEL DAMICO
“The study, conducted at Constellation’s request, says that without Ginna or some other power source equal to that plant’s output, the Rochester-area electric system could experience reliability problems through 2018 – meaning that there’s an outside chance that there won’t be enough power to go around when demand is at its peak.” The above statement is correct. RG&E has very little generation left. And they severed all of the motor and transformer cables in Russell Station to prevent it from ever providing power again. It could have been converted to gas. DAVE KASPERSIN
Deregulation precipitated this problem, because the private sector has no responsibility to look forward and set aside the necessary resources to ensure safe and reliable electric service. Pre-deregulation, that was a large part of the Public Service Commission’s responsibility. They had eight entities to oversee; now there are many more. There are

only seven local distribution companies whom we pay that the PSC can affect. New York hydro units are limited due to supply, and there aren’t enough economical options for more. The wellto-do have eliminated a wind option in Lake Ontario and other locations. It is true that Ginna’s value can never go to $0 so long as there is no countrywide longterm waste repository – a very thorny problem where none of the players will be satisfied with the solution. CL
The US and ISIS
Mary Anna Towler notes her displeasure of Obama’s ISIS policy (Urban Journal, “Toward What End?”). One must understand that this would be the third time the US will have fought in Iraq. General Powell convinced President Bush I to stop short of Hussein’s presidential palace. The rest is history. President Bush II won the second war only to have Obama snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Obama’s plan is flawed. Yes, we should have boots on the ground, as long as they’re filled with the feet of America’s best and bravest. There should be “rules of engagement.” The enemy should be shot. It’s silly to waste time and money to try to rehab them. You can’t, and you don’t negotiate with them. Sometime down the road there’ll be an agreement, and terrorists will be free to slice the heads off more innocents. US troops shouldn’t wait until they’re fired at. Shoot first; ask questions later. Tactical nuclear weapons should be used, if necessary. That’s if Obama hasn’t gotten rid of them. To the naysayers: tactical weapons have graduated degrees of potency. The smallest would level two blocks of flat land and everything on it. Take the shackles off our troops once and for all. SAM PALERMO
No evidence of humans causing climate change
Re: “Heroes and Cowards in the Climate-change War” (Urban Journal): Included among the cowards in the climate-change debate are many of the leaders of the coal industry. Rather than standing up and effectively contesting the dubious science cited by the Environmental Protection Agency when promoting its new carbon dioxide regulations, most industry leaders meekly accept it. Instead, they complain about job losses and costs, a surefire loosing strategy. If the industry is to survive, coal workers must find new leaders to speak out in their defense, spokespeople who have far more courage than the current crop. These bolder leaders must then clearly state that reports such as the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change demonstrate that today’s climate and weather are not extraordinary. There is no convincing evidence that human activity is causing dangerous climate change now or in the foreseeable future. There is no legitimate reason for the EPA to take action against emissions of carbon dioxide. The choice is simple: coal sector leaders must have the courage to fight to actually win the war on coal, or step aside and let others take over who will. TOM HARRIS

Columbus Day reconsidered
With Columbus Day approaching, I’m thinking about what we learned in school about the holiday and the man – and what we didn’t learn. I believe we could all recite the names of his ships. But were we taught about the cost of
his entry into the “new world?” Did we learn about the indigenous people who were violently and systematically displaced? Did we learn about our use of colonization, domination, power and oppression? Did we learn how slavery became a foundation for the economic system? While there is much to celebrate about our country, we must also acknowledge the residual impact of these early tactics. We need to know how our economic systems keep many of our most vulnerable caught in webs of poverty, violence, instability, and oppression, and how they’re destroying our planet. We have much to learn from the indigenous people who were here when Columbus landed: their reverence for the earth, and their belief that all beings are connected. Human beings are not “above” other species, but part of the web of life that sustains us all. Let this Columbus Day celebration invite us to examine our own lives and values – to reflect on what really matters and live more in harmony with indigenous wisdom. For example: In what ways are we fostering connection, community, and compassion, rather than fear, accumulation, and separation? Last month I walked with 400,000 others in New York City as part of a plea for us all to return to a more reverent relationship with the Earth and its climate. Is this an indication humanity is waking up to what’s truly worth celebrating, the wisdom that has been hidden from most of us for centuries? I live in hope that the future of my children and grandchildren can be protected as we each reclaim our connection to one another and all creation. SUE STARPOLI

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
On domestic violence, progress, but not enough If you drive downtown at night this month, you’ll see three buildings – City Hall, the library’s Rundel Building, and the Public Safety Building – lit in purple. The lighting’s part of an observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, highlighting a problem that’s gotten a lot of attention lately. We’ve all heard about – and many people have seen – the video of NFL star Ray Rice hitting his then-fiancé in an elevator and dragging her out by the hair. But Ray Rice is not an anomaly. One in four women in the US – and one in seven men – will be victims of domestic violence sometime in their life, according to the Centers for Disease Control. And the CDC estimates that 70 percent of domestic violence incidents don’t get reported. Shame, fear, emotional or financial dependency, love: there are numerous reasons why people suffer abuse and don’t seek help. And don’t leave. Domestic violence isn’t a “poor people’s issue” or an “urban issue.” In 2013, 48 percent of the domestic-violence reports in Monroe County were from the suburbs. And as the CDC statistics indicate, domestic violence isn’t committed only by men against women. There are victims in same-sex relationships. There are men abused by women. Nor does the term “domestic violence” refer only to married couples. It includes violence among unmarried couples. And it includes elder abuse, and violence between brother and sister. Based on data from cases that are actually reported, though, the vast majority of domestic violence is by men abusing women with whom they’re in an intimate relationship, married or unmarried. And it’s maybe not surprising that reports go up after massive media attention to something like the Ray Rice video. Calls to the hotline at Rochester’s Alternatives for Battered Women jumped 35 percent in the first 10 days of September after that video hit the news, ABW’s CEO, Jaime Saunders, told me last week. Grim as all that is, there has been progress. This year is the 20th anniversary of the federal Violence Against Women Act, which was originally co-authored by Rochester’s Louise Slaughter. That key legislation has strengthened laws and penalties dealing with domestic violence and other acts of violence against women, helps provide support and services for victims, and
One in four women and one in seven men in the US will be victims of domestic violence. And most cases aren’t reported. helps train people in the criminal-justice system about domestic violence. New York State passed legislation in 2008 that defines domestic violence as not only acts involving married heterosexual couples but also those involving same-sex couples and unmarried couples. Training people who deal with victims – police officers, for instance – has made a huge difference, Saunders said. So has media exposure. People are talking about cases like the Ray Rice video. “I’ll be on elevators – people won’t know who I am, and they’re talking about it,” Saunders said. Extensive networks of services have formed to increase awareness and help victims. In Monroe County, the Domestic Violence Consortium helps coordinate local efforts to deal with domestic violence. A “high-risk team” evaluates and determines how to help victims considered at high risk of being killed. Its members include representatives from Alternatives for Battered Women, the Monroe County District Attorney’s office, the Rochester Police Department, the Monroe County Legal Aid Society, and sometimes the sheriff’s department and the University of Rochester. A “fatality review team” investigates domestic-violence deaths, to see what fell through the cracks, Saunders said: looking for ways that the death might have been prevented. ABW itself, founded 35 years ago, provides a huge range of services, including education at schools, support groups for victims, and a website and hotline that provide information, counseling, and referrals by trained staff. ABW Court Advocates help victims understand the legal process of getting an Order of Protection and go with them into the courtroom. And ABW’s emergency residential shelter provides temporary help for victims and their children. continues on page 8 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Artists in residence at rec centers
Though Rochester is rich in arts and culture, more must be done to make sure that everyone shares in the bounty, regardless of social class, Mayor Lovely Warren often says. One step in that effort is to bring artists, musicians, and others into city recreation centers. City Council is currently considering legislation that would create a partnership between the City of Rochester and Young Audiences of Rochester.
Poll puts Funke ahead
A Siena Research Institute poll put Democratic State Senator Ted O’Brien behind his Republican challenger, Rich Funke, by 25 points. O’Brien, the incumbent, and Funke, a former local news and sports anchor, are running for the 55th District seat, which starts in Irondequoit and the city’s east side and stretches down to Naples, Ontario County.

Young Audiences would “provide the services of teaching artists and wildlife educators for a total of 18 artist residences,” the legislation says. Each residency would consist of seven, one-hour sessions serving up to 25 youth. “It has to do with us just finding a way, without spending a lot of money, to really getting back on track with how we begin to describe ourselves as the city of the arts,” says City Council member Elaine Spaull, “which is high, high, high end — all the way up to the RPO and that kind of stuff — all the way down to music in pocket parks.” Spaull, who heads up Council’s Arts and Culture Committee, says that she’d like the programs to match

And maybe the one that’s over on Humboldt is more interested in music. That’s what I like about it, that it can really be personalized and individualized and match the interest of the children in that neighborhood.” Council may vote on the proposed $15,000 agreement with Young Audiences at its October 14 meeting.

The city has developed a draft plan that lays out 50 miles of potential bicycle boulevards throughout Rochester. The plan should be finished in December, and the city could start establishing permanent routes next year. The ultimate goal is to provide a network of boulevards.
TRANSPORTATION | BY JEREMY MOULE
Rochester’s bike boulevard experiment Some roads in the City of Rochester, due to their design or the amount of traffic they get, are just not accommodating to cyclists. Cyclists tend to avoid them, even though the routes often connect important destinations, such as neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, and parks. To get around that problem, city planners have turned to bicycle boulevards. In simple terms, the boulevards are alternate routes that parallel a larger thoroughfare. They use secondary and neighborhood streets, so cyclists feel more at ease. City planners are testing two potential routes, which are currently identified with temporary signs and pavement markings. One route cuts through the 19th Ward, linking Genesee Park Boulevard to the intersection of Frost and Rugby avenues. The second route is largely in the South Wedge and links the Genesee River Trail at Averill Avenue to the intersection of Meigs Street and Monroe Avenue. The South Wedge bike boulevard provides a route around a tight and heavilytraveled section of South Goodman Street. And the 19th Ward route could eventually link up with other bike boulevards that connect with the Brooks-Chili corridor, for example, and Genesee Valley Park.
The city has also developed a draft plan that lays out 50 miles of potential bicycle boulevards throughout Rochester. Erik Frisch, city transportation specialist, says that the plan should be finished in December, and that the city could start establishing permanent routes next year.

Black men in media Group discussions related to the video installation “Question Bridge: Black Males” will begin on Wednesday, October 8, at Rochester Contemporary Art Center with an open dialogue about representation of black men in the media. The discussion is organized by the Democrat and Chronicle and will feature D&C staff writer Gary Craig, editorial page editor James Lawrence, Minority Reporter publisher-editor Dave McCleary, and 10NBC news anchor Janet Lomax. The panel, moderated by Lawrence, will pose questions such as, “What is the role of the media in defining who you are?” and “How do the meanings behind hiphop songs affect you?” These discussions — held weekly for the most part — will expand on “QB:BM,” a video project that collects questions and responses from black men around the country. The questions — posed by one man, then later shown to and answered by another — cover a vast spectrum of topics in order to open a discussion about the diverse black male experience in the US. Discussions will be held on October 8, 15, 22, 24, 29, and November 5, 7, and 12. More details: rochestercontemporary.org. City Newspaper will cover the discussions.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Climate change: Lowering temperatures at RCSD Stephne Givens, then 13, stepped off the bus in front of Jefferson Middle School on the morning of September 21, 1995. Within minutes, an argument broke out, and Givens was fatally stabbed in the neck by a 12-year-old school mate. Givens’ brutal death shocked the country. And some Rochester school officials say that the killing helped galvanize public perception that city schools are unsafe. It’s a perception that hasn’t changed much in the years following Givens’ death. But there’s perception, and then there’s fact. And the facts are that teachers have warned for years that student behavior has worsened to the point where addressing social-emotional needs eclipses actual instruction. During the 2013-2014 school year, for example, the Rochester school district spent about $8 million on safety and security, $11 million on grade retention (holding students back), and another $24 million on alternative and intervention programs. And school officials say that these costs are rising at a frightening pace. Along with that, suspension rates in city schools climbed to about 11,000 students annually by the mid 2000’s. Former superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard tried to address the problem by developing an in-school approach to discipline, which was supposed to prevent students from missing instruction while providing support for their social-emotional needs. But success was inconsistent. Discipline — specifically how and when it’s applied — continues to vary widely from school to school. And some say that, as a result, tensions between students and teachers and students and peers have actually increased. Rochester schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas says that the district’s problem is so serious that it requires outside help. To that end, Vargas and the school board are working with the Rochester Area Community Foundation to organize the Community Task Force on School Climate. A 12-person leadership team that formed earlier this year has assembled the task force, which is a broader group of parents, teachers, students, law enforcement personnel, health and human services providers, nonprofit agencies, and neighborhood and civic leaders. The group is charged with rewriting the district’s student code of conduct policy, and helping the district cultivate school atmospheres that are inviting, creative, and free of fears about safety. The task force will spend much of the school
year formulating its recommendations, with

implementation beginning in the 2015-2016 school year. “What we really want is a classroom climate and school climate and the neighborhood around the school that is safe and secure for everybody associated with the teaching and learning process,” says Hank Rubin, vice president of community programs with the Rochester Area Community Foundation. Rubin, who led the development of the task force, says that each member has made a multi-year commitment to the project. A community task force is needed, he says, because changing the school climate requires building a shared sense of ownership and responsibility. But this is not the first time that the district and the broader Rochester community have attempted to scale this mountain. There have been numerous expert panels, summits, and programs aimed at improving student behavior. And like past efforts, the task force faces formidable issues going forward: Where will the funding come from? How do you get individuals and organizations with competing objectives to work together? And even if Vargas and the school board approve the task force’s recommendations, can a multi-year effort survive changes in school administration or the composition of the school board? And how will the teachers union respond? “None of us are being a Pollyanna about this,” Rubin says. “This is very, very hard.” Board member Mary Adams says that despite the long road ahead, that she is determined to see positive change. “We urgently must get this right,” she says. The current situation is unsustainable, she says. Much of the concern about student behavior
and school climate stems from a nationwide recognition that the punitive practices used during the last decade have produced some unwanted results. Adams says that one of the reasons that relying on suspensions to create a sense of safety in schools hasn’t worked is because it

victimizes students who are already victims of extreme poverty and other conditions beyond their control. A more collaborative and consistent approach to school discipline is needed, she says, as well as a better understanding of the students and their communities. Some schools are doing an excellent job at this, Adams says, and it’s no coincidence that students in those schools are doing better academically. “Far too many city school district employees don’t come from the same background where our students come and more of us should focus more time and energy seeking true understanding of that,” she says. To help bridge that gap, Vargas and members of the task force have sought out the help of the Advancement Project. The nonprofit, which is based in Washington, DC, works with parents and community
groups to promote a more culturally sensitive school climate and a fairer approach to school discipline. The Advancement Project takes a civil rights approach to its work with community groups to break down institutional barriers to change, says Rosemary Rivera, organizing director of Citizen Action of New York. Rivera has worked closely with the Advancement Project and community groups in the Buffalo and Syracuse areas to reduce suspensions and create more positive school climates. She recently presented Rochester school board members with an overview of those efforts. Discipline that is measured, consistent, and fits the offense is possible, she says. “We can end suspensions for nonviolent offenses,” she says. “I don’t want to see kindergartners walking through metal detectors. It can be done.”

Domestic violence continues from page 3
The need for these services is enormous. ABW’s Court Advocates helped 2126 victims last year. ABW referred 860 victims to the Legal Aid Society for free help on how to get Orders of Protection against their abusers. Nearly 5000 victims called the ABW hotline; 341 attended support groups. The shelter housed 455 victims and their children last year, and its 40 beds aren’t enough. “We had 600 people last year who, when they made the first call, we were full,” said Saunders. ABW, which partners with the YWCA and Sojourner House, found other shelter for them, but it’s hard enough for the victims to reach out for help in the first place, Saunders said, without running into obstacles along the way. ABW is currently exploring the possibility of getting a new, larger place for the shelter. Safety is paramount at the shelter, and that’s not a frivolous precaution; abusers often pursue their victims. “We’ve had individuals try to come in,” said Saunders. And, she said, one man phoned the hotline and said he would shoot anyone who came out of the shelter. What on earth causes someone to assault a person with whom they’re in a presumably loving relationship, and to go after them with such vengeance? It’s far more complicated than we might think. Most abusers are not otherwise violent people, Saunders said. Most male abusers are violent only toward their wife or girlfriend. The abuse is a means of control. “It’s not an anger-management issue,” said Saunders. “If it were, he’d be a jerk to everybody.” Instead, the abuse is targeted. And that in itself complicates things: to relatives and friends, he can seem sweet, charming. “Abusers,” said Saunders, “don’t wear a sign.” Childhood exposure to domestic violence does seem to be a big influence. The vast majority of abusers “have grown up with violence in the home,” Saunders said. And tragically, “young girls who are raised in a house with violence are at higher risk of being abused as adults,” she said. Cultural acceptance of violence may be a contributor, too, Saunders thinks: violent sports, violent video games in which players try to run over prostitutes…. Saunders doesn’t exaggerate the influence of culture, though. As she notes, lots of football players don’t come off the field and go home and beat their wives. While violence in our culture likely doesn’t cause a non-violent person to become violent, it can be “reinforced by cultural values and beliefs that are repeatedly communicated through the media and other societal institutions that tolerate it,” suggests a 2003 report by the US Department of Health and Human Services. 8 CITY
OCTOBER 8-14, 2014
And, the report adds: “The perpetrator’s violence is further supported when peers, family members, or others in the community (e.g., coworkers, social service providers, police, or clergy) minimize or ignore the abuse and fail to provide consequences. As a result, the abuser learns that not only is the behavior justified, but also it is acceptable.” Clergy? In our discussion, Saunders raised that concern as well. Even now, religious leaders of some traditions – and marriage counselors as well – counsel that a wife ought to be submissive to her husband. And that brings up another aspect of culture: a bias against women that exists around the world. I asked Saunders whether we can separate domestic violence in Rochester from the general violence against women, in this country and around the world. “No,” she said. “Those 275 girls who were kidnapped in Nigeria: It’s the entire view of women as property. Entitlement.” Those 275 girls didn’t have a choice, of course, and they’re being held against their will (or worse). Victims of domestic violence here do have a choice, and that choice is often to stay. Sometimes that’s out of fear, sometimes it’s because they feel they can’t afford to do otherwise, financially. But sometimes it’s because the victim believes that the abuser can reform. What’s the record of abusers being able to change? “Not very good,” Saunders said. And sadly, the average victim suffers seven incidents of abuse before having the courage to leave, she said. That being the case, the biggest preventive tool may be education – of victims; of those in the criminal justice system; of people in the health-care system who end up helping the victims and their families; of teachers, neighbors, family members; of possible future victims and abusers.

Saha Med Grill puts an emphasis on fresh, healthy Mediterranean options, like the Saha Salad with kale, romaine, tomatos, onions, artichoke, heart of palm, feta & tahini yogurt (left); Grape Leaves Pita Wrap (middle); and the Quinoa bowl with beef tenderloin kabob, onions, peppers, zucchini and garbanzo beans (right).

To your health [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY
Pulling in to the plaza where Saha Med Grill (1290 University Avenue) is located, I had a sense that there’s a theme going on: health. Walking from the car to the restaurant, I heard the barking of a personal trainer and the grunts from participants in what looked to be a circuit training class going on at the nearby Real Life Food & Fitness. The Revelry is located there as well in case you’re the type that likes to reward yourself with a cocktail after a workout. Saha Med Grill’s stated mission is to deliver heart healthy Mediterranean cuisine to the masses. The staples of the Mediterranean diet include a lot of fruit and vegetables, healthy grains, fish, beans and nuts, lean protein, and olive oil. And studies have shown that the diet reduces the risk of heart disease and can lower blood pressure and cholesterol. You’ll find all of those staples included in the recipes on Saha Med Grill’s menu. “The focus is on health, including organic whole grain and raw food combinations as well as meat that is
hormone and antibiotic free,” says owner Sami Mina. “Portion size will ensure that our customers never have a single pita, salad bowl, or grain bowl that exceeds 500 calories.” Mina also founded Aladdin’s, and owns Pomodoro Grill and Wine Bar. The space itself is large with an outdoor patio out front, cafeteria-style seating inside and an open kitchen that spans the entire length of the back wall. The ordering process is similar to that of Chipotle: you pick whatever pita, salad bowl, or grain bowl that you want, and then go down a line adding whatever ingredients you want to personalize your order, paying at the end. Mina says the recipes are based on those from his 93-year-old mother. The grain bowl ($10 for vegetarian, $13 to add meat or fish) starts with a base of either rice or quinoa, or both, and includes the roasted vegetables of the day, and a choice of four different sauces. If you want to add meat or fish, you can choose from beef tenderloin kabob, chicken kabob, or salmon, lamb, or chicken shawarma. Of note: The lamb shawarma is grilled and roasted with 10 Middle Eastern spices.
There are eight different pita wraps to choose from, including a grape leaves pita ($8) with grape leaves, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, feta, and tzatziki sauce. Those looking for more general Mediterranean dishes like hummus, baba, and tabouli (all $3 for a side) will find those here as well. Mina says he is planning to nationally franchise Saha Med Grill and is in the process of opening three more locations. Plans are for locations in Pittsford, Victor, and City Gate. Saha Med Grill is located at 1290 University Avenue. It is open Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday, 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Menu prices range from $3 to $13. Visit the restaurant’s website at sahamedgrill.com.

ImageOut 2014 A colorful look at the 22nd Annual Rochester LGBT Film & Video Festival [ PREVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO
he perpetual news cycle means that every other day there seems to be a new sound bite in which some clueless lawmaker in an expensive suit weighs in on with whom Americans should be allowed to share their hearts and/or genitals. But movie theaters have long been refuges from all that outside noise, and at ImageOut: The Rochester LGBT Film & Video Festival, love inspires art, rather than uninformed opinion. From Friday, October 10, to Sunday, October 19, ImageOut celebrates its 22nd year with 39 programs of features, documentaries, and short films about the lesbian-gay-bisexualtransgender experience. Returning this year is the Next Generation Film Series, a selection of flicks free to those 21 and under, as well as the ImageOut There! Series, now in its seventh year of provoking and disturbing audiences with its midnight-movie sensibilities. As always, ImageOut provides perks like the donation-fueled ImageOutreach, which offers sign-language interpreting, senior discounts, and other services to help make the festival accessible to all. And 2014’s juried ImageArt exhibition, “personalpronouns,” takes a look at gender identity; catch it through October 19 at Visual Studies Workshop, 31 Prince Street. Read on for a peek at this year’s ImageOut. For additional info, like ticket availability, party details, and the scoop on visiting artists, visit imageout.org, or call the festival office at 271-2640. As we learned in ImageOut 2010’s screening of “Two Spirits,” many indigenous cultures not only accept but embrace the idea of a third sex, one that falls somewhere in between the usual two. Through the stirring, powerful documentary “Kumu Hina,” we come 10 CITY OCTOBER 8-14, 2014
to know one such mahu, a transgender Hawaiian woman named Hina Wong-Kalu devoted to helping her fellow islanders preserve their shared history by teaching traditional music and dance. Directors Dean Hamer and Joe Wilson also chronicle Wong-Kalu’s spare time as the newlywed acclimates to everyday life with a young Tongan husband whose apparent liberality is at odds with a few misogynistic oldworld notions. Watch for the scene stealing Ho’onani, a pint-sized tomboy mirror of her teacher whose preternatural wisdom gives hope for the future. (Saturday, October 11, 11:30 a.m., Little 1)
The headline in the ever-subtle New York Post screamed “Attack of the Killer
Lesbians,” and even the New York Times appeared to sympathize with the alleged victim: “Man Is Stabbed In Attack After Admiring A Stranger.” But the hardhitting documentary “Out in the Night” tells a different story, one in which four African-American female friends, all of whom identify as lesbian, were sent to prison for defending themselves against verbal and physical attack. Through
crime-scene video, court transcripts, and insightful interviews with the women involved — but not the man, who declined — director Blair DoroshWalther makes the case that the justice system failed Terrain, Renata, Venice, and especially Patreese; their skin color and sexual orientation deciding their Draconian sentences rather than the facts.

When last we heard from John Wojtowicz, the infamous subject of 1975’s “Dog Day Afternoon” was shaking down the filmmakers for his participation in ImageOut 2005’s “Based on a True Story.” But in “The Dog,” Wojtowicz won’t shut up. Funny, candid, and passionate, though clearly narcissistic and possibly bonkers, Wojtowicz recounts his life leading up to and after that time in 1972 when he knocked over a bank to fund his husband’s sex-change operation. It’s hard to know what to think of the man — despite his entertaining bravado, he did take hostages, and one of his cohorts was killed — but “The Dog” itself is pretty excellent, with equally absorbing interviews with Wojtowicz’s sassy mom, Terry, plus some awesome archival footage featuring our antihero Gumping his way through the post-Stonewall fight for gay rights. (Saturday, October 11, 1:30 p.m., Little 2) While most of the world tries to do
better by the LGBTQ community, the Russian government moves defiantly backwards, making the vaguely lawless Moscow a crucial character in the nail-biting drama “Stand.” French filmmaker Jonathan

But when circumstances force Janka and Ester (Julia Pogrebinska) to coexist without a buffer, their isolation gives rise to an attraction. Now, we all know how World War II turned out, but Janka seems to be the only Polish national disappointed with the results as the suspenseful “In Hiding” details the desperate, occasionally homicidal lengths to which she will go to deceive Ester and preserve their hot fledgling bond. Production design on this one is gorgeous. (Monday, October 13, 6:30 p.m., Little 1)
“Everything wounds you,” a frustrated patron tells the title character in “Violette,” a rich biopic about the French feminist writer, Violette Leduc, whose willingness to mine her hopes, sorrows, and desires led to a celebrated career. The film introduces Violette in her waning days as a black marketeer during the war, devoting most of its focus to her mid-century mentorship by Simone de Beauvoir, who championed Leduc in Parisian literary circles while soothing her melodramatic tantrums and deflecting her advances. Gallic gem Emmanuelle Devos both devastates and irritates as Leduc, deftly illustrating how her perceived indignities and unrequited yearnings gave her the tubes to create her own soul-baring work.

Taieb elicits a couple of compelling performances from the central duo of Renat Shuteev and Andrey Kurganov as Anton and Vlad, a seemingly happy couple whose relationship is severely tested by their differing reactions to witnessing an assault. Anton’s guilt over their inaction escalates into a dangerous obsession as he investigates the crime without the help of the indifferent police, and Taieb’s deliberate pacing ensures that the inevitable denouement packs a wallop. (Saturday, October 11, 4 p.m., Little 1)
I know nothing about dance, but I do know what’s thrilling, and that’s watching the Extreme Action Company inhabit the relatively unused space above this earth in “Born To Fly,” Catherine Gund’s documentary portrait of acclaimed choreographer (and Rochester native) Elizabeth Streb. Gund logs a little time at home with Streb and her partner where the former thumbnails, with the help of photos and footage, her early life and career, but most of the film is spent observing as Streb puts her athletic troupe through their choreographed paces in pieces with titles like “Invisible Forces” and “Impact.” A few of the dancers opine on camera about their shockingly physical jobs, with interludes punctuated by those same people slamming into Plexiglas, dodging an I-beam, or dangling from the London Eye in the name of art. And while some may argue that Streb’s work isn’t technically dance, there’s really no other word for expressing oneself through beautiful, fluid movement. (Sunday, October 12, 3 p.m., Little 1)

century, where working-class outsiders band together to fight The Man. Director Matthew Warchus’s star-studded comedy recounts the unlikely alliance between gay London activists and striking Welsh miners in Thatcher’s England of the mid-1980’s, hitting all the satisfying beats that you’d expect and finding the time to toss in a few engrossing personal journeys as well. Charismatic American Ben Schnetzer rocks a flawless accent in a star-making turn as the rabble-rousing Mark Ashton, while the often hammy Paddy Considine and Bill Nighy dial it way back to play quiet, decent miners grateful for the unexpected friendship. And the sexy pairing of Dominic West (“The Wire”) and Andrew Scott (“Sherlock”) has probably already inspired some McNultyloves-Moriarty fan fiction. (Sunday, October 12, 3:15 p.m., Dryden)
“Crazy Bitches” is a horror comedy, so it owes you nothing beyond the now-clichéd basics: a group of friends gathered together in a remote spot where other unfortunate
souls have been murdered years ago. Everyone has a secret, people will wander off alone, someone will trot out the Ouija board, and locals will be dismissed as rubes before they can finish imparting necessary information. But that’s not to say that there isn’t still fun in seeing a fest-friendly cast — including Guinevere Turner and Cathy DeBuono — trade one-liners before they’re offed in gruesome yet fitting ways. Director Jane Clark doesn’t fix what ain’t broken; she just puts her own spin on it. (Sunday, October 12, 8:30 p.m., Little 1)

It’s through a patient translator that Richard and Junn (Cheng Pei-Pei, Jade Fox in “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”) begin a series of wary conversations, and as “Lilting” unspools we’re privy to thoughtful ruminations on love, death, aging, and acceptance. Incidentally, writer-director Hong Khaou’s debut feature would make for a lovely stage play. (Wednesday, October 15, 6:30 p.m., Little 1) I get it; by now you’re totally sick of

The guitars keep it rooted and real with their tonal excellence. “Perfect People” is a perfect example of pop as it was… and still is in some righteous circles and parades. And yes, you should leave them screaming for more, but this five song platter is over too soon. More, please.

Afro Bop Alliance “Angel Eyes” ZOHO Afrobop.com
What comes to mind when you think of Washington, D.C.? Jazz, of course. No? Well, you obviously haven’t heard the Afro Bop Alliance. This Grammy Award-winning ensemble, centered in the center of power, is led by percussionist Joe McCarthy, but the tunes are written and arranged by several different band members. All of them are masterful in their use of the color palette this collection of musicians is capable of. The core group includes Luis Hernandez, tenor saxophone; Vince Norman, alto saxophone; and Tim Stanley, trumpet on the front line; with Harry Appelman, piano; Tom Baldwin, bass; and McCarthy, drums. One ingredient that makes them unique is the inclusion of Victor Provost on steel pans. Provost also does some vocals but Sara Jones steals the show in that department with her wonderful rendition of “Nature Boy.” Additional players include Paula McCarthy, violin; Suzanne Orban, cello; The St. Claire Chamber Strings; and Roberto Quintero, percussion. There’s also one very special guest: Paquito D’Rivera, who sinuously slides in, around and over the chords of Provost’s “Homenaje” on clarinet. As for the title tune, it’s played at a faster clip than usual but that’s what makes this group great; nothing is predictable. — BY RON NETSKY

Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad LISTEN AT LIVEPANDA.COM [ FEATURE ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
What a long, strange trip it’s been. From playing to 10 people on the roof of an upscale East End watering hole, to creating a booty shake quake with thousands of fans in Red Rocks, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad is clearly the master of roots reggae in the jam band world. It doesn’t lampoon the sound nor does it placate its fans with a topical, tropical re-hash. The band — bassist James Searl, guitarist Dylan Savage, guitarist and banjo player Dan Keller, drummer Chris O’Brian, and keyboardist Tony Gallicchio — treats the music with respect, like a privilege. It’s a privilege that the band shares across the land about 80 times a year. GPGDS has just returned to Rochester after a West Coast tour playing stops from Vancouver to San Diego and over to Nevada and Arizona. Now begins the push for the new platter which has already hit the ground with a gallop. The band’s new album “Steady” (Easy Star Records), just released September 30, debuted at number one on the iTunes reggae chart. Searl is stoked, he’s buzzed, he’s on top of the world.
“We’re pumped about that,” says Searl with a grin. “It’s a first for the band. I mean, you’ve got to unseat Bob Marley’s “Legend” for at least a couple hours, which is really hard to do.” And this for an album that the band never really intended to record. “We weren’t really planning to make an album,” Searl says. “We didn’t have any songs picked out.” According to Searl, producer and friend Craig Welsch at Rear Window Studios in Brookline, Massachusetts, twisted the band’s arms. “This record was recorded on a dare,” Searl says. “We’d known Craig for a couple years. Craig’s straight-up about things and very opinionated. And he came to us: ‘Listen, you’re a really great band and I’ve heard all your albums, and no one’s done a good job, nobody’s done you justice in the studio.’” Searl is proud of all of GPGDS’ recorded output, but bemoans the self-doubt that plagues a lot of musicians… himself included. “It’s all subjective,” he says. “You can swing me down that road any day and I’ll be like ‘Yeah, it all sucks.’ That’s not a very healthy place for an artist to be, though most of us are there most of the time.” So Welsch told the band he wanted to tap into the band’s sound in a studio with more vintage gear than they had ever seen. This was an important component to the band
according to Searl. The band found itself in a playground full of vintage guitars and amps and assorted gear. “It’s part of the magic,” he says. “It’s the kind of place you don’t bring your guitar, you don’t bring your drums.” But where was the dare? Welsch’s pitch sounded more like a promise or a boast. “The dare was essentially: ‘Come in to my studio, I’ll make you sound better,’” Searl says. The resulting “Steady” supports that promise; that boast; that dare. The album fits nicely in the GPGDS catalogue, starting with its 2006 debut, “Slow Down” — the catalogue also includes: “Live Up” (2010), “Live Up 2.0” (2010), “Country” (2012), and “In These Times” (2012). “Country” was the band’s keep-‘em-guessin’ wild card; a roots-rock respite from the band’s deep dish reggae. To the band, it felt natural, though it surprised some of its fans. “We put out “Country” first kind of as a head-turner,” Searl says. “It was like, ‘You may not know this about us, but we know this about us.’ And some people were like, ‘Aw man, you dropped reggae, I’m out.’ And then we put out our most reggae record ever three months after that.” But “Steady’s” birth wasn’t a complete surprise, it’s not like the rubber broke. The band feels drawn to the studio whenever time allows. “I think we feel we always have an album due,” Searl says.”It’s just we’re on the road so much it’s harder to get into that space. Being in the studio we’re less educated about, we’re less comfortable. The first 15 minutes we get in the studio, we’re ready to go. But it’s never like that. You end up sitting around for five hours, there’s always something going on. A lot of hurry up and wait.” But in roughly five sessions over the period of three months, Welsch wrung “Steady” out of the band occasionally butting heads over arrangements. “He gave the gruff grit,” Searl says. “He’s real about it. He dialed us in, man.” On the last day in the studio the band all gathered in one room with Rear Window owner and Savages guitarist Milt Reder and amazingly recorded an entire Americana album entitled “Bright Days,” which the band will probably release in spring 2015. With a kind of good natured power vacuum in the jam band world in the wake of Gerry Garcia swapping out his guitar for a harp, the smart money is on Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad to rule the world. The band is a great big groove sensation: “An antennae of goodness that brings good people together,” according to Searl, who’s up for the crown. “Bring it on,” he says.

When a young saxophonist named Dave Liebman joined Miles Davis’s group in 1970, it was obvious that a star was born. More than 300 albums and myriad projects later, Liebman is reinvigorating his music with a brand new group, appropriately called Expansions. Aside from Liebman’s long-time bassist Tony Marino, the group is composed of rising stars Bobby Avey on piano; Matt Vashlishan on sax, flute and clarinet; and Alex Ritz on drums and percussion. Dave Liebman’s Expansions performs Saturday, October 11 at Lovin’ Cup, 300 Park Point Drive. 8 p.m. $10-$25. Lovincup.com; daveliebman.com. — BY RON NETSKY [ CLASSICAL ]

CLASSICAL | “IO VIDI IN TERRA”
Love’s torments and delicious pleasures expressed in florid and passionate songs: “Io Vidi in Terra,” the 2014-15 season opening concert for Pegasus Early Music sounds, to use a carefully chosen adjective, ravishing. The composers are, unsurprisingly, Italian: 16th and 17th century geniuses like Claudio Monteverdi and Benedetto Ferrari, whose canzonettas, or solo vocal works, are an important step in the development of the cantata and the opera. The singer is Brazilian countertenor José Lemos, who is carving out a busy career in baroque opera. Lemos will be accompanied by harpsichordist Jory Vinikour and Deborah Fox on theorbo and baroque guitar, who also get the opportunity to show their stuff in instrumental music by Frescobaldi and Piccinini. Pegasus Early Music presents “Io Vidi in Terra” on Sunday, October 12, at Downtown United Presbyterian Church, 121 North Fitzhugh Street. 4 p.m. $10-$25. 703-3990; Pegasusearlymusic.org. — BY DAVID RAYMOND [ DJ/ELECTRONIC ]

INDIE ROCK | THE APPLESEED CAST
Io Vidi in Terra. Downtown
Hailing from Lawrence, Kansas, The Appleseed Cast summons a “post-rock” sound that thrives on inventive drumming, waves of sweeping guitar arpeggios, and impassioned vocals. Its predominantly guitar-based music has evolved over the years, hailing emo predecessors while carving out its own unique niche. New members have been brought in throughout the band’s history, and each has contributed new dimensions to The Appleseed Cast’s sonic palette — creating songs full of vitality and energy. The live performances are head-bobbing, emotionally striking displays, filled with an urgency that is heartfelt and honest.

U-Theatre Taiwan’s “Sound of the Ocean” at Nazareth College Arts Center last week was a meditative journey that must have spoken personally to each audience member. A primitive, yet finely-tuned energy reverberated from the group’s drumming, movement, and theatrical presence that surely reached everyone watching and listening. It was, indeed, like being pulled in by waves, by the tide, like entering the heart of an ocean. U-Theatre Taiwan originally created this powerful, dramatic work in 1998 to celebrate the group’s 10th anniversary with a performance at the renowned Festival D’Avignon in France. “Sound of the Ocean” is meant to simulate the diverse sounds of water through music, drumming, and movement. Although the work is abstract, five sections focus on different aspects of water: “Collapse,” “Flowing Waters,” “Breakers,” “Listening to the Ocean Heart,” and “Sounds of the Ocean.” Part of the joy in experiencing U-Theatre’s magnificent work is the startling power of its unique sound which yet comes hand-in-hand with an innate recognition: a familiarity. The movement component of the show was less dance than, somehow, a physical extension of the act of making music. In the first two sections, movement manifested itself mainly through the drumsticks. The performance began with the actors (as they are referred to in the program) silently,
stealthily filing onto the stage, one by one, to take their places beside a range of differently sized drums. The stage was nearly dark, but the lights in the house remained on initially, creating a sensation of at once being cast into high relief ourselves while anticipating what would occur onstage. And then, the moment of impact. House lights off, stage lights on, and a violent eruption of loud, insistent drumming as the actors exploded out beats from their instruments in an almost military perfection of unison. The stylized movements of their hands and arms raising and lowering the drumsticks nearly seemed to threaten — like weapons. No one was dozing off in this audience. Interestingly, in a traditionally male-defined art form, half of the actors were women. Section two, “Floating Waters,” was the
antipathy of the earlier section, an emotional response to the work’s strident beginnings. At first, the music came only from offstage, a gentle twanging of plaintive chords. Like an overheard conversation, small tugs of sound were answered by longer twangs, a kind of waxing and waning as we strained to hear the questing calls and their replies. When the performers strode in, wearing long robes, to take their places beside the drums and begin the dance of their drumsticks, the movements again seemed to visualize the sound for us. This time, the sticks appeared more like antennae — searching, sensing, communicating. The larger drums issued deeper, richer sounds and, as the beats escalated in pace and volume, continued the back-and-forth with a sort of beat, counter-beat. There was no denying the likeness of the sound to the
gush of water, the down-pouring of rain. To close your eyes was to feel the water, to let yourself be cast along by a natural, dramatic force. Powerful. Part three, “Breakers,” brought martial arts moves into play; also, giant gongs. The actors moved seamlessly together in crouched and grounded motions, holding long sticks or mallets which increased their movement range. Soon, they were sounding the drums with the sticks and, then, thrusting them forward to sound the gongs, an affecting combination of physicality and musicality; again, their movements an embodiment of the sound as they jumped and spun, jumped and spun. U-Theatre was founded in 1988 on Muzha Laochuan Mountain, outside of Taipei, by its artistic director Liu Ruo-Yu after she returned from New York City where she studied under Polish theater director Jerzy Grotowski. Drumming master Huang Chi-Chun studied drumming and martial arts since childhood and went on to study meditation in India. The group draws inspiration from rituals, t’ai chi, drama, music, martial arts literature and dance with the focus on drumming. The members practice t’ai chi, martial arts and drumming on their mountain base and, like Buddhist practitioners, meditate in nature to find their inner selves. The group’s goal is to share the tranquility it achieves with audiences. The hush of the audience at Nazareth implied that this tranquility was, indeed, transmitted from performers to observers. However, it was disappointing to see a good portion of the audience leaving their seats while there was still a sole drummer onstage, slowly bringing the show to an intimate close.

ART | THE NOTA PROJECT
It’s a fascinating exercise to see how different artists see the same object or space. That’s exactly the idea behind a new exhibit opening this week at Image City Photography Gallery (722 University Avenue). “The NOTA Project” is a collaborative effort of five area photographers and photographer-mentor, Bruno Chalifour. After months of studying and critiquing each other’s images, Chalifour suggested that they explore and photographically interpret the same geographic area in order to compare and contrast one another’s work. The Neighborhood of the Arts became their target. Featured artists include Gil Maker, Steve Malloy Desormeaux, Don Menges, John Solberg, and George Wallace, with guest artists Jane Hopkins (in the East Gallery), Paul Drushler, Lou Ryen, Hiatt Zhao, and winners from Camera Rochester. Also showing will be the Gallery Partners and Artists-in-Residence. The show continues through Sunday, November 2. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday, 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. A reception will be held Friday, October 10, from 5 to 9 p.m. Admission is free and the space is handicap-accessible.

ART | HIDDEN BEAUTY ART GALLERY
Beginning Wednesday, October 8, RIT’s William Harris Gallery will host “Hidden Beauty: Exploring the Aesthetics of Medical Science” on the third floor of RIT’s Frank E. Gannett Hall. The exhibition is part of a collaborative photographic art piece and book project led by Norman Barker and Christine Iacobuzio-Donahue, featuring images from more than 60 medical science professionals. “Hidden Beauty” seeks to examine how the technical and aesthetic abilities of scientific photographers are enhancing and expanding the field of medical science. Advanced imaging technologies, like electron microscopy scans and spectral karyotyping, will feature prominently in the exhibition along with other images used by medical professionals every day to diagnose disease and illness. The exhibition is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and will end on Friday, October 31. Exhibition co-curator and science photographer Norman Barker will host a talk at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, October 15, in the auditorium of RIT’s Chester F.

If you’re looking for some merry-not-scary Halloween fun for your wee ones, bring your costumed tots to the annual Spooktacular event at Seneca Park Zoo (2222 St. Paul Street). The festivities will be held 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sundays, October 11-12, 18-19, and 25-26. The event features 15 trick-or-treat stations, costumed characters, and watch some of the Zoo’s animals enjoy their own treats, too. In support of orangutan conservation, 50 cents from the sale of every ZooBoo ticket will be donated to Health in Harmony, an organization that serves both human health needs and preserve natural forest resources. The zoo will once again be using recyclable materials and focusing on palm oil-free products (because the palm oil industry destroys animal habitats). Zoo admission is $8-$11 (free to kids ages 2 and under and members). Participating in trick-or-treating has an additional cost is $8.50. Members may purchase advance tickets for $6.50 or pay $8.50 at the door. For more information, call 336-7200 or visit senecaparkzoo.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

FILM | “CYRANO DE BERGERAC”
The Little Theatre has been screening art house and independent films to enthusiastic Rochester audiences since it first opened its doors 85 years ago. This Thursday, October 9, the theatre celebrates how it all began, with a special one-time only showing of the first film ever to grace the Little’s silver screen: the 1923 silent film “Cyrano de Bergerac.” The classic tale of romantic deception — about a lovestruck poet with a crisis of confidence due to an oversized schnozz — has been adapted, remade, and updated by Hollywood dozens of times over the years, with everyone from Steve Martin, to Gerard Depardieu and Janeane Garofalo filling the role of the twitterpated hero. This is a chance to see the first film adaption of the original play, featuring beautiful hand-tinted stencil coloring and a classic performance from French actor Pierre Magnier in the title role. In addition, The Little has commissioned the Andrew Alden Ensemble to compose an all-new score for the film, and the group will be providing live accompaniment during the screening. “Cyrano de Bergerac” will screen at The Little Theatre, 240 East Avenue, on Thursday, October 9, at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $10. — BY ADAM LUBITOW Gallery, 100 College Ave. Thru Oct. 31.

Art referenced again in the curling “horns” of the vessel’s dramatic handles. Edinboro, Pennsylvania, artist Patrick Bell’s simple “Wood Fired Jar” with its wabisabi lid handle and gloriously unpredictable wood-fired glaze was fired for 72 hours in a 19-foot Anagama kiln, recreating early traditional wood-firing techniques. The slightly chess piece-looking “Ritual

TO 5 P.M.; THURSDAY: 10 A.M. TO 9:30 P.M.; SATURDAY: 12 P.M. TO 5 P.M. FREE | 244-1730; GENESEEARTS.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
Genesee Pottery’s annual “History in the Making” exhibit provides a fascinating opportunity to see a range of great work by contemporary ceramicists from around the nation. The educational showcase also provides a specific look at the historic practices and techniques from which these artists draw influence. This year’s show, juried by Fred Herbst, professor of art at Corning Community College, is rife with beautiful forms and rich colors, and smart references to historic and globe-spanning traditions in sculptural work. Matt Wilt, of Saratoga Springs, New York, has two sturdy, beautifully glazed pottery works in the show, including the shimmering stoneware “Covered Jar Tower,” for which he has drawn influence from the 24 CITY OCTOBER 8-14, 2014
Asian wood-firing traditions. In particular, this stacked cylinder form is influenced not by the voluminous jars — as is his other vessel, “Covered Jar” — but by the bronze “zuns,” or ritual wine vessels of Shang Dynasty China. Brownsville, Texas-based artist Marcia Selsor’s “Obvara Pot with Spirals” looks like a spiral of rough bark formed around a near perfect sphere, with a Fibonacciesque pattern covering the swell of the form. Obvara-fired porcelain is an Eastern European, Medieval technique of sealing low-fired, functional pots by dipping the hot pot in a mixture of fermented flour. Carol Grocki Lewis, of New York City, created a curved, elliptical vessel influenced by sculptor Richard Serra’s monumental steel sculptures, with an interior that resembles Serra’s weathered metal, and an exterior pattern based on her interest in fabric designs on Tapa clothes from Papa New Guinea. In his construction of contemporary objects, John Zimmerman of Gallup, New Mexico, riffs on the fact that clay is the broken-down remnants of the earth’s crust. Both his “Stratified Tire” — which reminded me of a strangely-hued Samoa cookie — and his “Stratified Beaker and Bucket,” are roughly glazed in a way as to seem in the process of slow-motion disintegration. Each work lends the feeling of things being reclaimed, of complex substances breaking down to essential elements.
Poland, Ohio, potter Missy McCormick’s
dreamy vessel, “Cloud Reliquary,” looks like the gentle dome of the sky, with a brushy glaze texture achieved through terra sigillata surface, a historic Greek and Roman technique used to achieve atmospheric effects. Maxine Hugon’s tiny, closed-form, porcelain “Orbs” are covered in carved, winding leaves and tendrils which twist off the surfaces, and are inspired by 11th century Chinese Song Dynasty carved pillows. Close by, Rochester artist Joshua Woof ’s wee, porcelain “Qi Vessel” like a jewel or a confection, with whorls like petals of time unfolding to reveal a tiny black hole. The work is influenced by celadon wares as well as the teachings of time and energy from the Song Dynasty. Though Edinboro, Pennsylvania-based artist Didem Mert’s elegant, wood-fired porcelain “Sauce Tray” is inspired by Indian Balti serving dishes, the artist connected three dishes together with one handle, rather than having them all separated. On the wall, Mert’s “Algae II,” is a sturdy ceramic hoop which supports a simple wood board, which in turn holds a tea bowl. The artist’s statement reveals that the set-up is influenced by the idea of the Japanese tea house itself. Brooklyn artist Patricia HubbardRagette’s tall, dark-chocolate-hued “Taurus” vessel references the Krater Volute form of Etruscan ceramics, with the titular constellation present on the belly of the piece
Jar,” by Seth Green of Moorehead, Kentucky, is a wood-fired stoneware work influenced by a brass and silver-inlay ewer made by Syrian artist Ahmad al-Dhaki al-Mawsili in 1223. From the original work, Green retained the body form and scalloped collar, but here the work is monochrome, dark-chocolate stoneware. Included in the show’s few figurative works are two pieces by Asheville, North Carolina-based artist, Travis Winters. His “Dunce Flask” and “Mind Explosion Flask” are two playfully grotesque and richly pigmented vessels which are a modernized reference the folk tradition of face jugs. Wheaton, Illinois, artist Marina Kuchinski explores strength versus terror in her “First World Problems,” which is comprised of two forms: a representation of one of the pair of Chinese guardian lions (Shishi or “Foo Dogs”) interacting with a naturalistic dog. The expressions are spot on: each beast has its ears back and fangs bared, and while the cat is a symbol of strength, the dog appears to be cowering. By replacing the second lion, the artist disrupts a traditional symbol of harmony. Taylor Robenalt, of Sarasota, Florida, created two porcelain works of minutiae and hidden worlds which reference European figurines and flowers. In “Swan Cluster,” two tiny hitchhiking frogs are found amid the crush of a petal collar, from which the swan gently lifts its elegant neck, eyes squinting. Robenalt’s “Rabbit/Dog Cluster” is a double-headed beast capped with a range of flora. The artist’s attention to detail is displayed delightfully in the arcing splay of rabbit ears and the kindly smirking, worldly expression of the dog. Grand Forks, North Dakota-based artist Guillermo Guardia’s “Mochica” is without a doubt the conversation work in the show. This demonic-cherub-looking ceramic child is fierce with lowered horns, red eyes, and underglazes like tattoos covering her small body. These painted patterns are drawn from the pre-Columbian, Peruvian Mochica culture. The babe bears two guns and is swathed in bullet bandoliers, perhaps referencing the tragedy of child warriors.

The mystery in the From that moment, the major plot begins, new movie “Gone Girl” demonstrates some of the naturally involving the search for the missing rich potential of the form. woman. The police investigation, headed Based on an extremely popular novel by by a tough detective named Rhonda Boney Gillian Flynn, who also wrote the screenplay, (Kim Dickens), discovers partially cleaned-up bloodstains, evidence of a possible faked intrusion, and inevitably casts suspicion on Nick. She and her partner interrogate him about his marriage, note that he apparently knows surprisingly little about his wife, and start to investigate him and his sister.

a couple who wrote a series of famous books based on her personality — she claims they stole her childhood — her disappearance intrigues the media, who swarm the Missouri town where the Dunnes live. Amy’s parents feed the frenzy, holding press conferences, enlisting the whole town on search parties, making direct appeals to the TV cameras, even setting up a special website and hotline. As the investigation progresses, a line at the bottom of the screen keeps track of the days of Amy’s disappearance; the chronology, however, shifts back and forth through the years of Nick’s and Amy’s relationship and the present, complicating the narrative with flashbacks and numerous entries in Amy’s diary. The diary chronicles their meeting, the romance of their early years, their reluctant move to Missouri to care for Nick’s dying mother, Amy’s desire for a child, and the gradual deterioration of their marriage. Amy even records her efforts to buy a gun, presumably to defend herself against her husband. When the police find the diary and evidence of Nick’s infidelity their suspicions intensify and the media happily turn him into a national pariah. A particularly vicious cable TV personality — obviously based on the horrible Nancy Grace — sets out to crucify him, even throwing in an accusation of incest (“twincest”), apparently just for the sheer sadistic joy of it. Despite the fascination of the mystery itself, in fact, a more
Thinking outside the box “The Boxtrolls” (PG), DIRECTED BY GRAHAM ANNABLE AND ANTHONY STACCHI NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
compelling subject of “Gone Girl” is the role of the media, the swarms of TV crews that surround Nick’s house, the hordes of slavering journalists who dog his footsteps, follow his car, and fling accusatory questions at the press conferences, inciting a national virtual lynch mob. Under the guidance of a brilliant defense lawyer, Tanner Bolt (Tyler Perry), Nick turns the tables on his accusers, appearing voluntarily on a television show to confess his sins, but also affirming his innocence. The script acknowledges the redemptive power of television — doubters should recall the cases of Oliver North, G. Gordon Liddy, Mike Barnicle, Doris Kearns Goodwin, and most recently, Bernard Kerik, all of whom regularly appear as talking heads and purveyors of opinion, wisdom, and propaganda. The film even reaches its wonderfully appropriate conclusion by means of a sickeningly hypocritical TV interview. The mystery plot, equally ironically, depends upon so elaborate and preposterous a scheme, borrowed from “Presumed Innocent,” that perhaps the movie needs that subtext. Its cynical view of humanity, of the gullibility of the American people, of the lynch mob mentality of the press emphasizes a surprisingly misanthropic vision, certainly justified by its depiction of some all too familiar scenes of the coverage of notorious criminal cases of abduction, sexual assault, and murder, all of which entertain the public in “Gone Girl” and in reality, every day.
Laika, the film studio behind modern stop-motion animated classics “Coraline” and “ParaNorman,” brings yet another endlessly imaginative tale to the big screen. Based loosely on the book “Here Be Monsters” by Alan Snow, “The Boxtrolls” is a whimsically demented fable centering on the titular creatures: adorably ugly, toothy, grey-skinned beasts who dwell beneath the Dickensian city of Cheesebridge. Though citizens of the city have been raised to fear the boxtrolls as man-eating monsters who will steal their babies, we learn rather quickly that they’re actually harmless scavengers, rooting through the city’s trash, stealing whatever scraps and bits of metal they feel might be useful. The creatures wear cardboard cartons for clothing, which they retreat into to sleep or when frightened — their names are even derived from whatever their box once held (Fish, Shoe, Fragile, etc). Archibald Snatcher (a wonderfully villainous Ben Kingsley), the city exterminator, is the chief reason behind the citizens’ misguided beliefs about the

boxtrolls. He uses the disappearance of an infant as proof of their monstrous nature, claiming that the trolls have kidnapped and eaten the baby (though we know that the child has actually been raised by the creatures as one of their own). Snatcher vows to rid Cheesebridge of boxtrolls completely in exchange for being allowed to join the ranks of the elite “white hats,” an oligarchy of rich, self-absorbed men who sit around eating cheese and making decisions about what’s best for the city — though this mostly seems to involve using the city’s money to buy more cheese for themselves (at one point even at the expense of building a children’s hospital). The group is led by the pompous Lord Portley-Rind (Jared Harris), who promises to reward Snatcher with the white hat he so desperately desires once the final boxtroll has been destroyed. Snatcher is aided his quest by his henchmen Mr. Trout, Mr. Pickles, and Mr. Gristle (voiced by Nick Frost, Richard Ayoade, and Tracy Morgan, respectively). While Mr. Gristle is an unabashedly deranged psychopath, Mr. Trout and Mr. Pickles earn some of the film’s biggest laughs through their slow realization that they may not be the heroes they so believe themselves to be, but rather the bad guys of the story. Meanwhile, that missing baby has grown into a 10-year-old boy named Eggs (voiced by Isaac Hempstead Wright, “Game of Thrones”). Having lived nearly all his life being raised by the subterranean creatures, he believes himself to be one of them, so when his fellow boxtrolls begin to be rounded up, he takes it upon himself to fight back and defend his adopted family. Along the way, Eggs makes the acquaintance of Lord Portley-Rind’s neglected daughter, Winnie (Elle Fanning, adopting an impressive British accent), a rather snooty child with a redeeming taste for the macabre. She befriends Eggs and is eventually recruited to join his cause.
Though “The Boxtrolls” doesn’t have a
groundbreaking story (it basically boils down to misunderstood monsters and a hero longing to find his place in the world), directors Graham Annable and Anthony Stacchi — working from a witty screenplay credited to Irena Brignull and Adam Pava — bring an inventive energy to the material. As with “Coraline” and “ParaNorman” before it, “The Boxtrolls” has a tone that’s darker and a bit more dangerous than the average children’s movie (though it remains significantly less scary than those earlier films), and it maintains those stories vehement distrust of authority figures. Commitment to not dumbing things down for a younger audience is always appreciated. The general obsession with cheese (and cheese puns) calls to mind Aardman’s Wallace and Gromit characters, and there’s a fair amount of Roald Dahl thrown in as well. As touchstones for children’s stories go, you can’t do much better than that. But the number one reason to see the film is to enjoy the sheer artistry on display. Like everything Laika has produced, the detailed, handcrafted design of the film is pleasingly tactile, with everything feeling as though it’s been cobbled together from spare parts like one of the boxtrolls creations. The stop-motion animation is the most seamless I think I’ve ever seen — the amount of effort that went into the creation of the film is staggering. The entire film is just jaw-droppingly gorgeous to see. A note: While I attended a 3D showing of the “The Boxtrolls,” I recommend avoiding seeing the film in that format. The added immersive quality of the 3D isn’t enough to counteract the negative impact of the 3D glasses; the film’s color palette is so subtle that the dimming effect of the glasses completely washes out the detail, making the film’s intricate design that much more difficult to appreciate. Luckily, the story, characters, and the world they inhabit were more than vibrant enough to make up for it.

A Lovely Listing on Laurelton 16 Laurelton Road
Ryan Smith
NYS Licensed Real Estate Salesperson

The Homestead Heights neighborhood embodies all the aspects of city living that attract homebuyers to Rochester. Centrally located in a safe and inviting area that is characterized by owner-occupied homes, well-tended yards, and active neighborhood associations, Homestead Heights is just a short bike ride or walk from the Neighborhood of the Arts, East Avenue, or Park Avenue. In the colder seasons, neighbors help each other dig out of the snow and ensure that the sidewalks are clear. In the spring and summer, volunteer-maintained flowerpots brighten up the corners. The 1935 Colonial Revival located at 16 Laurelton Road is a charming home with a nicely landscaped yard. As one enters the home, you are greeted by an elegant foyer. The front door is flanked by arched leaded glass windows—a motif that is craftfully recreated in a small sunroom off the living room. The first floor of the home features a cozy kitchen (all appliances included), a bright formal dining room with sliders that lead out to a fenced-in yard with a deck, and a spacious living room that is dominated by a functional wood-burning fireplace—a very practical amenity on blustery winter nights. Also of note in the living room are the exquisite double-stacked crown moldings and the original glass doorknobs, which are present throughout the home.
The second floor houses an updated bathroom and three generously sized bedrooms, each with ample closet space and windows that brighten the rooms. As with downstairs, the bedrooms feature hardwood floors and crisp, painted white trim. On the second floor, the original unpainted doors add a touch of elegance and old-world sophistication to the hallways. One more flight up, a beautifully finished attic can be used as a spacious master bedroom or a home office. With two skylights and symmetrical arched windows on either side of the chimney, the attic space is well lit and airy. Unfinished side rooms in the attic provide additional storage space. The 1,917 square foot home at 16 Laurelton has many updates including a newly painted exterior, newer storm windows, and glass-block windows in the basement. For further peace of mind, the seller is offering a 12-month home trust warranty. The home also features a two car garage, a picturesque split driveway, and a .30 acre lot. Currently, 16 Laurelton Rd. is listed at $114,900. To learn more about the house, contact Nothnagle agent Mark Hiscock at 585-339-3963. by Lisa Feinstein Lisa is Vice President for Institutional Advancement at The Strong and an avid fan of historic architecture and neighborhoods.
