Locally grown veggies, all winter long On the Sunday before Christmas, the stalls at the Long Season Farmers’ Market in Brighton were heaped with fresh produce, and the aisles crowded with self-described locavores eager to take it home with them. There were beets, parsnips, turnips, radishes, potatoes, and lots of winter squash. You could also find hardy greens like roccoli rabe, baby bok choi, and kale. But there was also a bumper crop of lettuce, bright green against a background of earth tones. Outside, a foot of snow covered the ground, night temperatures were in the teens, and dusk gathered at 4:30 p.m. Yet, here it was: fresh lettuce,
grown within an hour of the market and picked only hours before it was to be sold — in December. These greens are the answer to the dilemma of what someone who is determined to eat fresh, local produce is going to eat during winter in upstate New York. They also represent both an opportunity and a challenge to established supermarket chains and local farmers looking to expand the market for their products, and make those products more reliably profitable to grow and harvest. They may be the start of a revolution in the way people think about winter vegetables and winter farming.

Lessons from the Peace Corps
This fall marked the 50th anniversary of the election of John F. Kennedy — and of the founding of the Peace Corps. Even more than Obama’s campaign, JFK’s victory seemed to mark a new, positive vision of the US: egalitarian, both in class and race, committed to peaceful solutions abroad as well as at home. For many in the US, and especially in the developing world, the Peace Corps came to symbolize this “New Frontier.” In May1961, I applied and was accepted to the Peace Corps. On June 25 I started training with Colombia One, the very first Peace Corps group, at Rutgers University. After two months of preparation in Colombian history, Spanish, and Community Organizing, 62 volunteers flew to Bogotá and were assigned to rural communities throughout the country. But no matter where we served, we all visited peasant homes where Kennedy’s photograph held the place of honor. Two years of total immersion in a different culture was a turning point for each of us. As one of us put it, “You had two choices: you could sit in your room alone, or you could go out and make a total fool of yourself. And when you did, people welcomed you, and helped you become part of their community.” By the time I left Colombia, I was totally bilingual and bicultural. Our Peace Corps experience changed all of our lives. Many of us went on to work in the federal government, or with international organizations such as the UNDP, CARE, and the World Bank. Others pursued academic careers in Latin American Studies, Economics, or Anthropology. I ended up teaching at a Mexican university, and making films about rural indigenous communities like the ones I experienced in Colombia. From the beginning, the Peace Corps was charged with
three goals: to help people in the developing world; to provide a pool of trained Americans with experience in the developing countries, and to help all Americans understand the rest of the world. Certainly Peace Corps volunteers have achieved much in the developing world, both by our effect on the countries where we served, and by providing a more positive image of Americans. Certainly also many returned volunteers have, as we did, pursued careers that reflect their Peace Corps experience. It is in the third goal — changing how Americans perceive the rest of the world — that the Peace Corps has not had the hopedfor impact. Kennedy once said that when there were 1 million returned Peace Corps Volunteers, the US would finally be able to have a decent foreign policy. There are only about 200,000 returned volunteers so far, and we have engaged in three disastrous wars since 1961. The Viet Nam war cost the US around $600 billion in 1970’s dollars. The Iraq war so far has cost $750 billion, and the Afghan war $350 billion. That’s not counting the devastation to the three countries, let alone the destroyed lives and families, at home and abroad. In Viet Nam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, our soldiers have little or no understanding or experience of the language and culture, and so often view the locals as “gooks” or “hajis.” Worst of all, we are — with the best intentions, from our point of view — attempting to impose top-down solutions that are alien to the countries where we have intervened. It took us at least a year in Colombia to learn the language and culture well enough to operate effectively, and to establish the personal relationships that enabled us to make a real impact. More important, we were not trying to impose anything, but rather to help our new friends do what they themselves wanted for themselves, on their own terms. During the campaign for George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq, one of my Colombia One friends said to me, “If Bush were to listen to a dozen returned Peace Corps volunteers who served in Iraq, he would never do anything so stupid as to invade.” I was in Viet Nam with AID in 1965, and filming
in Afghanistan in 1987, and I would certainly have argued against our military intervention in both cases — because of my Peace Corps experience. Of course the Peace Corps is no cure-all for the ills of the world. But the concept behind it — which we applied in Colombia — is this: help people to help themselves, and they will look on you as friends, not intruders. So on this 50th anniversary, my New Year’s wish is for a renewed, more proactive, Peace Corps. Maybe a million returned Peace Corps volunteers will not be enough, but it would be a good start.

Letterpress memories
Your article on letterpress printing (December 8) made an impression on me. As a former printer’s devil, it is great to see letterpress printing making a comeback as an art form. It’s been 50 plus years since I worked in the printing trades, helping to get several community newspapers out via letterpress, which was a real grind. But I still miss the smell of fresh-cut paper and white gas, type metal cooling in pig molds, and ink under my fingernails. Great story; I hope all of the shops mentioned in the article can make the bottom line in letterpress as an art form. BILL GERLING, ROCHESTER
More crows
Anyone who enjoyed “Counting Crows” (December 15) will be interested in Ian Frazier’s article on the crows’ corporate strategy, as summarized in their marketing logo “Crows: We Want to Be Your Only Bird.” Their only unit of money is the empty soda bottle, which trades at a rate of about 20 to the dollar. They have also established a near-monopoly on road kill. Mr. Frazier reports that in order to stay competitive, the crows have recently merged with the ravens, making basic services like cawing loudly outside bedroom windows available in virtually all areas. Mr. Frazier’s insightful article coincidentally (or not?) was just reprinted online in the Utne Reader. AUDREY COOPER, HILTON

urban journal | by mary anna towler
Cuomo and us Listening to Andrew Cuomo’s inaugural address on New Year’s Day, I was glad to find reminders of his eloquent father. Rhetoric is useless if there’s no substance beneath it, but in tough times, rhetoric can be important. And these are tough times. State government has to change its ways, but Cuomo is governor, not king. He can’t do much without the legislature’s support, and the legislature will object to much of what he’ll try to do. The public will have to help him push back. And there, Cuomo’s rhetoric may be almost as important as his steel spine. It could help him, as he puts it, mobilize the public. The problem is, getting the public all worked up doesn’t guarantee change. For one thing, the public often doesn’t seem sure what it’s all worked up about. New Yorkers were thought to be upset ever since the first Brennan report awarded state legislators the title “dysfunctional.” Voters have written letters, staged protests, and filled out thousands of “Fed Up With Albany” newspaper forms. And in November, we sent most incumbent candidates right back to the capital. Besides, in fairness, we all know that the system is rigged. Thanks to gerrymandering and big money from special interests, many legislators don’t seem to give a you-know-what about what voters think. For that to change, in this state, even at this time, will take more than a mobilized public standing behind a strong-willed governor. What’ll it take? I have no idea. With his inaugural address, Cuomo sparked a tiny bit of hope, though. And with his references to our recently departed mayor, I could almost believe that Our Bob will be more than a ribbon cutter, and that Albany will at last start paying attention to Upstate. There is certainly potential for the Cuomo-Duffy team to be a strong one — if they don’t get swallowed up by Albany… or yield to the temptations of power… or turn out to be different than we had hoped…. If they do? I’m not sure, after Spitzer and Paterson, Hevesi and Monserrate and Espada and Bruno, that any of us will ever have faith in state government again. “People feel betrayed,” Cuomo said. People have no confidence that government can help them, he said. And “worse than no confidence,” as Cuomo said, we have “no trust.” There’s heavy lifting ahead, for everybody.
The system is rigged. For that to change will take more than a mobilized public standing behind a strong-willed governor.
Memo to Richards
At City Hall, the year opened with what seems to be good news: newly installed Mayor Tom Richards said he won’t appoint a deputy mayor in this brief period before the special election this spring. This is probably a smart policy move, letting Richards figure out what government structure we really need. Given the city’s financial state, eliminating even one administrative salary would be good. But it could be smart politically, too. Several people want to be mayor, and rumors persist that Richards’ accession is simply part of a backroom deal for one of them. The rumor: that Assembly member David Gantt and Democratic Party chief Joe Morelle fixed it so that Richards becomes mayor through a special election, and he’ll appoint Gantt protégé Lovely Warren, City Council’s president, as deputy mayor. That would give her a lot of exposure and help her get elected mayor three years from now. I’m not casting aspersions on Warren when I say that this would be a very bad idea. It would be a bad idea for Richards to appoint anybody who wants to be mayor. It would undermine Richards’ credibility, when his credibility, for this moment, is his biggest attribute. Just as serious: it would wreck the credibility of anybody he named, if that person hoped to be mayor someday. Richards, Morelle, and Gantt say there’s no deal, and I believe them. But the rumor persists. There’s an easy way to end it: announce that if we have a deputy mayor, it won’t be somebody with political aspirations. My advice to Richards: do that, now.

Walsh is new airport director
David Damelio resigned as director of the Greater Rochester International Airport. Susan Walsh, the county’s former budget director, is his replacement. Damelio’s resignation comes after it was revealed that he held numerous business meetings over cigars or at cigar lounges. A county press release said he quit to “pursue new professional opportunities,” but Damelio’s resignation letter said he didn’t want to be a distraction to the county executive or airport employees.
Independent redistricting proposal on hold Monroe County Legislator Vinnie Esposito withdrew his proposal to take the process of redrawing

Teen birth rates down in Rochester
Meeting cancelled after complaint
The Community Education Task Force lodged a complaint with the New York State Committee on Open Government. Members cited city schools Superintendent JeanClaude Brizard’s request to meet with the school board in executive session to discuss a proposal to close schools 2, 6, and 36. The meeting was subsequently cancelled, leading the task force to declare victory. It’s not clear, however, that the cancellation was related to the complaint.

The number of teen births in Rochester experienced a dramatic decline in 2009, mirroring national statistics. But local experts caution against calling a one-year report a trend. And overall, they say, Rochester’s teen pregnancy and birth rates are nothing to celebrate. Most teen births happen between the ages of 15 and 17, says John Ricci, spokesperson for the Monroe County Health Department. In 2009, there were 238 teen births in that age group in the county, he says. That’s down from 300 in 2008. Ricci says that’s a significant reduction. “It’s kind of unusual to see any change that dramatic in one year,” he says. “It’s a nationwide change, so it’s not just that one community has a program that was a resounding success.” Some experts speculate that the recession is at least partially responsible for the decline. But Ricci doesn’t see the connection.
“What do they mean? That people were less amorous?” he says. “There’s just not a clear association to me. I guess we’ll just rejoice this year and hope it’s not a statistical anomaly.” Dr. Jeff Kaczorowski, executive director of the Children’s Agenda, says that despite the drop, Rochester still has a long way to go in terms of teen pregnancy and births. According to the Metro Council for Teen Potential, the 2006 birth rate in the City of Rochester was 76 per 1,000 girls between the ages of 15 and 19. Statewide, the number was 26 per 1,000. “It’s unbelievable to me,” Kaczorowski says. “It’s the one area in which we are doing the most poorly.” The teen birth rate is down, however, from the highs of the 1990’s. The 1990 rate was 128 per 1,000 teen girls in the city.

Budget shortfalls will hit urban districts like Rochester much harder than suburban districts. It’s a result of multiple factors.

RCSD faces significant budget gap Local school districts will see only a trickle of the nearly $692 million that the state receives from President Obama’s Race to the Top education reform initiative. The Rochester school district will get the largest amount: around $8.2 million over four years. But Rochester school board member Willa Powell says it’s only a drop in the bucket considering the district’s looming budget problems. Various departments are preparing the financial information needed for Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard to draft his 2011-2012 budget. “We’re expecting to lose significant ground,” says Powell, who chairs the district’s financial committee. She estimates the budget gap for the coming year could be as high as $40 million. But Brizard’s projection is far worse. “We’re pretty apprehensive about what cuts might be coming down from the state,” he says. The worst-case scenario, Brizard says, could be a $70-million gap or higher. “What we have to spend and what we’ll get from the state could be very different,” he says. When asked if there will be cuts to teaching staff, Brizard says nothing is off the table, and that there will be cuts across the board. He says he is especially concerned for his new teachers, who are usually the first to be

TECHNOLOGY | BY JEREMY MOULE
Institute’s focus is to advance high-tech materials Kodak’s in a good position to take on this effort. For one, the company was built on
Kodak’s Mark Juba says that the company’s new collaborative effort, the Innovation and Material Sciences Institute, is aimed at helping startups bring new, advanced materials to market. Photo by matt deturck
Material sciences have played a huge role in human advancement. Early man progressed from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age to the Iron Age — all eras defined by the materials used in tools and weapons. Much later in history, advances in metals helped enable railroad development and expansion. Advances in other materials led to better, faster computers, and have proven essential in developing clean energy technologies like solar or fuel cells. Materials are integral to technological advancement, and that’s where the newly formed, Kodak-led Innovation and Material Sciences Institute comes in. The institute — its board met for the first time in November — is a collaborative effort between the company, academia, public policy experts, scientists, and financial backers. The focus is on bringing novel technologies to the market. It’s not a physical building, but a collection of individuals and institutions helping startups commercialize their innovations. “To really take novel technologies and accelerate them to market, I think it’s going to take a very collaborative effort,” says Mark Juba, general manager of Kodak’s industrial materials group. It’s an initiative that could advance the work of local tech and alternative energy companies, though the general idea is to think broadly and to spur advances that address fundamental issues across the globe, such as climate change or the efficiency of some energy technologies. “I honestly think there’s probably never been a more exciting time to be involved in City

material sciences and engineering and being able to work on these types of opportunities,” Juba says. If this is all starting to sound abstract, it’s not. General Motors’ hydrogen fuel-cell research and development efforts provide a good, real-life example of the way these innovations work. And a lot of that work happens at the automaker’s facility in Honeoye Falls. Thanks to advances in materials and design, each generation of the fuel cells has been smaller, less expensive, lighter, and more efficient. GM now has working prototypes that have been field-tested by regular, everyday drivers, not just GM employees. The vehicles have been in development for decades and have come a long way, even if they are still experimental. Energy research — in both efficiency and in alternatives to fossil fuels — is one of the institute’s three initial areas of focus. It’ll also focus on sustainable and renewable materials and clean technology, a field that includes solar and wind energy, LED lighting, and information technology.
materials innovation, as were Rochester’s other two big companies, Xerox and Bausch and Lomb. Rochester has a long history of materials innovation: Kodak’s breakthrough product, photographic film, opened the medium to amateur photographers in a way that cumbersome glass plates never could. But Kodak’s workforce and operations have been shrinking, leaving the company with extra space and manufacturing capacity at its Ridge Road plant. It has the infrastructure and space to help innovators with promising technologies scale-up operations so they can see what sort of production level is feasible. Kodak can also lend technical help since its employees have experience taking technologies from conception to production. Funding can be an issue for startups, which is why there’s a venture capital firm representative on the institute’s board, says Kodak’s Juba. There’s no shortage of ideas in the Rochester region. The area generates a substantial number of patents — that helped Rochester land on this year’s Forbes list of the country’s most innovative cities — with a significant portion coming from the materials area, says Mark Peterson, president and CEO of Greater Rochester Enterprise. [The majority of patents are, however, tweaks or upgrades of pre-existing technologies.] “Very often these companies come out with this idea: they’ve got the science, they’ve got even the patent, but to really prove that you have something that can produce a company or that’s valuable to the marketplace, you have to pilot it,” Peterson says. It’s easier to get funding and investors when a product has proven manufacturing and market potential. When people or firms show they have a workable idea, Peterson says, they can approach venture capitalists about backing it. A collaborative project like the material sciences institute, combined with Kodak’s willingness to open its underutilized assets to startups, can be used as a showcase, Peterson says, to attract new companies to the region. “It’s huge for companies that have been here, it’s huge for companies that are here now, and we believe it’ll be huge for companies that are emerging in these new industries and solving problems in these new industries and creating jobs,” Peterson says.
Ithaca-based Novomer has already worked
with Kodak to scale up production of products it developed. And its vice president of research and development, Ron Valente, now sits on the Innovation and Material Sciences Institute’s board. Novomer developed a way to convert greenhouse gases, namely carbon dioxide, into polymers. By using available resources at Eastman Business Park — the new name for Kodak Park — the company was able to scale-up production and markettest the product. The company is still experimenting with ways to improve the manufacturing end. Novomer’s plastics, polymers, and coatings have a variety of uses. One can serve as a petroleum-free alternative to traditional plastic bottles or other packaging materials. The same material can be used in coatings, electronics, and as a binding agent in ceramics. The institute presents an opportunity to better commercialize research that’s occurring at local universities, particularly University of Rochester and RIT. It also has potential to help develop materials for medical technology, though it’s not an early focus, Juba says. There are several Rochester companies that develop medical devices. Even local biofuel companies and defense contractors could benefit from materials innovation. There are other projects in the works, Juba says, but they are in the early stages and information is confidential. So here’s the big picture: Rochester has lots of talented, creative minds but they need help getting their products to market. These breakthroughs touch on a variety of areas, many of which are growing. And these advances could be instrumental in building a vibrant, hightech economy in Rochester. But the institute has a national reach, with members from several prominent institutions, such as Stanford University and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. So promising startups can get help from across the country. “This ultimately could be good for our country and our world, because some of the things they’re developing can solve some of the great problems of our day,” Peterson says.

JANUARY 5-11, 2010
After acting as pastry chef at upscale downtown eatery Rio Bamba (now Bamba Bistro) and as executive chef at the equally upscale Pittsford restaurant Richardson’s Canal House, Keith Myers decided it was time for a change. While trying to settle on a new path, Myers built a bread oven in his home and began baking artisan breads and pastries, which he sold on Sundays at the Brighton Farmers Market. While he had no intention of turning his hobby into a new business, soon the demand for his baked goods became too great. “Every single thing I made, people were buying,” says Myers. “I was working 24 consecutive hours during the market season to try and keep up with the demand. I knew I couldn’t continue doing it from my house, so I decided to turn it into a business.” And so Myers set out to look for a space for his business, and Flour City Bread Company was born. Since he had been so successful at the Brighton Farmers Market, Myers found an opportunity at the Rochester Public Market immediately appealing. The bakery’s new space is located directly next to Boulder Coffee’s Market location (formerly Java Joe’s) in a building recently rehabbed by landlord Richard Calabrese with the goal to fill it with a handful of artisan food shops. Flour City Bread Company is the first — it first opened in late October and then celebrated its grand opening in early December. “We’ve designed our space for spectators,” says Myers. “We’ve put in a window to the
bake room and one for the mixing room so people can see what’s happening. Once the other businesses come in, this will be a great place for people to wander through while they shop, eat, and watch.” Moving his business out of his house and into a state-of-the-art kitchen has also allowed Myers to expand his offerings. For the uninitiated, artisan bread is crafted in small batches rather than mass produced. Special attention is paid not only to the mixing and baking processes, but also to the ingredients. Myers uses only organic flours and Europeanstyle butters to create his breads, many of which are made with only four or five ingredients (compared to commercial breads, which often use 10 or more). He also makes a few varieties of naturally leavened breads, often known as sourdough, but Myers prefers to call them levain to avoid any confusion with San Francisco-style sourdoughs, which are quite sour in taste. “Naturally leavened bread, or sourdough, is made from a culture or starter that the baker maintains or feeds and keeps active, not a commercial or dry yeast,” says Myers. “So you can control the outcome and it doesn’t need to be overly sour. Some can be quite mild.” In addition to his popular breads, Myers offers croissants, sticky buns, cookies, and chocolate and lemon tarts. With his new space, Myers hopes to expand his current offerings and also include sandwiches and other foods that will showcase his background as a savory chef. He also plans to take advantage of his mobile oven, a custom-built pizza and bread oven on a mobile cart, which

Let them eat snow
LOCAL FARMERS FiND iNVENtiVE NEW WAyS tO GROW PRODUCE ALL yEAR LONG [ FOOD ] BY JAMES LEACH | PHOTOS BY JEFF MARINI
On the Sunday before Christmas, the stalls at the Long Season Farmers’ Market in Brighton are heaped with fresh produce, and the aisles are crowded with self-described locavores eager to take it home with them. There are beets still icy cold and wet to the touch, alongside parsnips, turnips, a few radishes, potatoes, and lots of winter squash. You can also find cold hardy greens in abundance: broccoli rabe, baby bok choi, black and curly leafed kale. But there is also what appears to be a bumper crop of lettuce — bright green against a background of earth tones. Outside, there is a foot of snow on the ground, temperatures flirt with the teens at night, and dusk begins to gather at 4:30 in the afternoon. Yet, here it is: fresh lettuce, grown within an hour of the market and picked only hours before it is to be sold — in December. Some of it, like the delicate green heads of baby Boston lettuce that farmer John Bolton is setting out on his stand amid the cilantro, arugula, and other lettuces, is grown hydroponically in heated greenhouses that produce product year-round. But an increasing share of it, like the bags and bins of baby greens brought into the market by Brian Beh, owner of Raindance Harvest in Ontario, are
grown in the ground in unheated greenhouses commonly referred to as hoophouses. At 8 a.m. on this particular Sunday, the lettuces and greens that Beh was selling a few hours later were still in the ground. These greens are the answer to the dilemma of what someone who is determined to eat fresh, local produce is going to eat during winter in upstate New York. They also represent both an opportunity and a challenge to both established supermarket chains and to local farmers looking to expand the market for their products, and make those products more reliably profitable to grow and harvest. These greens may be the start of a revolution in the way people think about winter vegetables and winter farming. But they may also be a manifestation of the emergence of a class of produce available to the fortunate few, but beyond more than the occasional reach of those who are forced to stretch every nickel in a fragile economy. Until very recently, if you were talking about
winter farming in Western New York, you were talking about hydroponic farming: growing plants without soil in heated greenhouses. For
more than a decade, hydroponic farms — vast greenhouses fogged over with condensation from October through May — have proliferated in our area and across the border in Canada, where rows and rows of greenhouses line the QEW. Among the largest of these is Intergrow in Albion. Started on 15 acres of land in 1998, Intergrow now has 30 acres of hydroponically grown tomato plants under glass, and has plans to add an additional 18 acres of greenhouse in the near future. Intergrow harvests in excess of 77,000 pounds of tomatoes every week, shipping them as far west as Chicago, south to the Carolinas, and all through New England. Of that produce, 60 percent to 70 percent goes to a single grocery store chain: Wegmans. Everything at Intergrow is huge. The two biomass furnaces that heat the greenhouses consume three to four tractor-trailer loads of wood chips each day to keep them at a steady 60 degrees. The tanks where water and nutrients are mixed and stored are at least 12’ tall. The staff uses an assortment of old singlegear bicycles to travel around the greenhouses. To stand in the middle of Greenhouse 1 and look down any of the rows of plants is to get a good idea of what infinity might look like:
there is a dim glimmer of light at the other end of the row, but for as far as the eye can see there is nothing but perfect, red tomatoes and carefully supported and trellised horizontalgrowing tomato vines. The vines themselves are two fingers thick in some places, and snake along the plastic channel supports for distances up to 40 feet. The plants are eased into horizontal growth after they climb beyond the reach of the cherrypickers that Intergrow’s employees use to harvest much of their crop. Hydroponics are expensive. In this area, in order to keep the greenhouses warm through the winter, a greenhouse owner has to make a substantial investment in fuel. Water is plentiful and cheap, but the liquid fertilizers necessary to nourish the plants are not, and continues on page 10

Let them eat snow they have to be constantly replenished. And labor is a consideration that cannot be discounted. Hydroponic farming is a laborintensive undertaking. Intergrow employs about one person per acre during the winter, and twice that during the summer. To make a profit, hydroponic growers have to sell enough product to achieve economies of scale and grow their operations in ways that are impractical for smaller farmers with limited space, capital, and time. And that is part of the dilemma that T.J. Tyler, the manager of Freshwise Farms in Penfield, has wrestled with since he arrived in July 2009. Freshwise opened in 2002 as a “social enterprise” of the Rochester-based food bank Foodlink. Unlike other divisions of Foodlink, Freshwise was intended to grow pesticide-free hydroponic greens and vegetables for sale to the general public, rather than distributed to Foodlink’s partner agencies. The profits on the venture were to be passed on to Foodlink to support its larger mission of eradicating hunger in the 10 counties that it serves here in Western New York. Freshwise was, in part, a successful enterprise. It produced almost an acre of hydroponic greens year-round in its greenhouse, offering retailers, restaurants, and consumers access to some of the freshest salad greens imaginable. The problem, according Tyler, was that the use of chemical fertilizers in hydroponic growing at Freshwise was environmentally (and, by extension, economically) unsustainable. In conjunction with the board and leadership of Foodlink, Tyler participated in the creation of a new vision for Freshwise, and the development of a three-year plan that would, among other things, phase out hydroponics in favor of

The new business model at Freshwise is cold-hardy crops grown in the ground in them, but this model of cheap, sustainable, derived, at least in part, from the writings and unheated greenhouses. The first step in and profitable winter farming has caught on research of Eliot Coleman, owner of Four that process was to rip out the hydroponic — not only at Freshwise, but also with local Season Farm in Maine.

winter farming. Until now, he used the four hoophouses on his Honeyhill Farm to control the environment in which he grows organic heirloom tomatoes. This winter, he hopes to harvest a crop of leeks from his fifth, and newest, hoophouse, and looks forward to pulling overwintered scallions in March. Even veteran winter farmers describe their efforts as a work in progress. Brian Beh, who has been producing winter crops of lettuces and greens in four hoophouses in Ontario for the past four years, still claims that “this is still in the development phase. We are all just trying to work it through” to find the right balance between cost and profit that will make winter farming economically sustainable. “At the moment,” he says, “no one is getting rich.” In Eliot Coleman’s estimation, a good measure
of the point at which winter farming is paying off is when the return on the investment in each square foot of cultivated ground amounts to $1.50. This is a numbe r that kept coming up time and time again over the course of several weeks of visits and interviews with farmers both large and small. But few are the small to mid-sized farming operations that can afford to undertake the investment necessary to experiment with winter farming long enough to find it. T.J. Tyler of Freshwise suggested that without the support of Foodlink it would have been impossible to transition his greenhouse to winter farming without undertaking what he describes as “major loanage.” Other farmers I spoke to are interested in extended-season farming, but don’t want to take on the additional debt that they would have to incur to do it. Enter the Wegmans Organic Research Farm in Canandaigua. On a snowy December morning, I’m standing on a windswept hillside overlooking Canandaigua Lake with Stency Wegman and farm manager Jamie Robinson. We are brushing several inches of snow away from yellow-green heads of Romanesco, a broccoli that has some of the characteristics of cauliflower. Robinson looks at the heads and announces that they will need to be taken in
before they freeze again: vegetables like this can stand to be frozen once or twice, but a long, hard freeze will ruin them. Up on the hill above the Romanesco bed stand two unheated hoophouses. Over near the treeline stands another. Inside them, it’s not quite summer, but it feels and smells like early spring. In the houses closest to the Romanesco patch, densely packed rows of rainbow chard, arugula, and carrots are growing directly in the soil underneath cloth-like row covers that keep in the heat and most of the moisture. The chard and the arugula look like they will be ready to harvest in a few weeks, the carrots are the length of my pinky and intensely sweet because freezing temperatures cause carrots and other root vegetables to concentrate their sugars. All of these vegetables were slated to be harvested and on sale at the Wegmans flagship store in Pittsford before Christmas. In the next 1,440-square-foot hoophouse, tiny spinach plants stand dormant, strong enough to withstand the cold, but not to grow in any appreciable way until February. In another structure, row upon row of perfect spinach grows under the cover of a double-layer hoophouse (the gap between the sheets of plastic inflated to create an insulating pocket of air). The space is so well sealed that moisture rising from the ground condenses on the steel roof supports and “rains” back down on the deep green leaves that grow most densely beneath the drips. In the nearby barn, several dozen trays of microgreens sit under grow-lamps awaiting harvest and shipment in one-ounce containers to Pittsford, where they will sell for $4.99 each. What the team at the farm has accomplished in its first season of winter farming is stunning, and even more impressive is what it plans to do over the next year or so. Stency Wegman says that while it currently produces some vegetables that are sold in the Pittsford store, the Organic Research Farm isn’t intended to supplant the local growers with whom the grocery chain has developed a working relationship over the years. Particularly in regard to winter farming and extendedseason production, the farm is intended to act as a research laboratory, and its findings will be

shared with the 540 local producers who are part of the Wegmans farming “family.” Wegmans’ Organic Research Farm began operation in 2007, but it was not until April 2010 that Danny and Stency Wegman consulted with Eliot Coleman about a winterfarming project. Farm manager Jamie Robinson describes the farm as a potential scale model of everything that a producer would need in order to produce organic winter vegetables according to the chain’s exacting standards, and says that the company intends to start bringing local growers to the farm in time for the 2012 growing season to share what it has learned. In the final analysis, winter farming, like all
farming, is ultimately about matching supply with demand to make a profit. As both Robert Hadad and Fred Forsburg, who is also on the board of the Brighton Long Season Market, have observed, the success of winter markets, even during these tough economic times, suggests that while fresh and local produce is certainly more expensive than produce grown elsewhere and shipped in, that there is a “perceived value” in local produce. According to Walter Nelson, the agricultureprogram leader for the Monroe County branch of the Cornell Cooperative Extension, “People want to know who grew [their food] and where it came from,” and they are “willing to pay extra to look the producer in the eye and say, ‘How did you grow this?’” In a time when every penny counts, Hadad says, “when people are spending money on vegetables they want to buy the best,” not necessarily the cheapest — although for some shoppers who struggle to feed their families that is certainly a prime consideration. When a bag of salad greens tops $5, even the most ardent locavore is likely to at least hesitate before pulling out his or her wallet. Brian Beh of Raindance Farms worries that he cannot compete with produce, even organic produce, trucked in from across the country: his $4 bags of lettuce sometimes approach twice the price of the out-of-state competition. At the point at which the cost of his lettuce is double that of the competition, he says, he begins to lose customers — even “savvy, educated consumers…who are interested in nutrition, in minimizing their carbon footprint, and eating fresh, local food.” Fred Forsburg is less concerned. While his customers demand quality, most of them “drive Chevys, not Mercedes,” and see buying his produce as a judicious use of their food dollars. People who know and appreciate good food, in Forsburg’s estimation, will always pay for quality over quantity.

Spine bending and spell binding [ review ] by frank de blase
Lauren O’Connell’s voice has a steely
resolve and intensity. It was always there, but previously it took a backseat to her shyness. O’Connell, who now hangs her hat in the City by the Bay, played a homecoming set to a packed Bug Jar crowd Wednesday, December 29. As a guitar player, she can really pick, but never shows off, opting instead to use her playing style as an underpinning for her lyrics. Her playing comes off casually elegant in snippets, like phrases of conversation and thought. Her music is honest and arresting. And her voice came on stern and pretty every now and then, slipping into falsetto to punctuate certain phrases. O’Connell is both sweet and profane; a deadly combo and something you ought to see. Kirk Stevens opened up with a set of indie-esque pub rock. The tones were cool and the songs had hooks and potential, but the execution was somewhat sour. Stevens was a little flat, and the band was at times sloppy. But I wouldn’t write him off just yet. Maybe it was just an off night. The crowd dug the trio regardless.

show at Water Street Music Hall was packed to the rafters — sold out, in fact. Isn’t it nice when a band can do that at home? The groove and the vibe were amazing. Guitar and keyboards shared the same sonic space, frequently mimicking one another as the sustain, set to infinity, sparkled and decayed. Though frequently opting for mid-tempo, hip-friendly tempos, the band’s groove was relentless, spine bending and spell binding. The band’s satisfaction and thrill in its onstage creations was particularly apparent in bassist James Searle, who bounded around the stage. Meanwhile, back at the Bug Jar, Syracuse’s Dracula Jones was blasting at maximum roar with its sinister wail. It was Zeppelin in hell, it was STP back on dope. It was big and bad and bluesy, loud as crazy and twice as cool. It was a great way to kickstart the new year, even though I missed The Veins, goddammit.

McKenna: I come from the reggae scene; reggae music reminds me of water and chilling out, but drum and bass reminds me of fire. What is RootsCollider’s mission? McKenna: We are the last analogue defense
against a digital 21st century.

The fire inside RootsCollider Thursday, January 6 Dub Land Underground, 315 Alexander St. 10 p.m. | $5 | 232-7550, facebook.com/RootsCollider [ INTERVIEW ] By Frank De Blase
RootsCollider is a menacing wall of sound, a collection of colossal textures and beats, a bombastic blast of epic resonance played with searing passion and arctic cool. Elements of reggae, jam music, and jazz get torqued in the extreme via RootsCollider’s obvious love and adherence to drum and bass. The band calls it “livetronica.” This Rochester foursome — Wil McKenna on guitar, Bill Smith on keyboards, Jimmy Grillo on drums, and Dexter Redic on bass — does it beautifully backwards. Whereas the majority of today’s pop music is a digital creation or a recreation of the analogue world, RootsCollider cranks out the digital in an organic setting with real instruments. Despite the digital precision, this is strictly an analogue outfit. Close your eyes and you can’t tell the difference. In keeping with its flipped technology philosophy, RootsCollider is releasing its first four-song EP, aptly titled “EP.” It’s a digital representation of the band’s analogue representation of the digital. Still with me? The following interview should shed some light on the process. CITY: What are RootsCollider’s roots? Wil McKenna: It just started as a bunch of
ideas on ProTools in 2006. They were ideas 14 City JANUARY 5-11, 2010
I had always played around with but could never get people to take seriously, or execute correctly in the way that I wanted them to be played. I can understand execution, but why couldn’t they take them seriously? Bill Smith: Everybody grooves a different way. McKenna: The whole dichotomy of
musicians and their egos and attitudes… that whole spiel. What was it about this music that made you want to create it with a band? McKenna: I was really looking for the
intense rush, the intense crush that I felt when I was playing the music. When I played the music on the computer it made me want to rage, it made me feel like I had fire inside of me. It made me feel young. Now, with others in the band, are you open to their interpretations? McKenna: I’m open to it. Is this true? Smith: As long as it’s logical. That’s part of the
quandary of RootsCollider. The collision is somewhat literal in the sense of the music that we’re bashing together. So the line-up as it stands came together in July of 2010. McKenna: The quick succession is, I came up
with the ideas, I found Jim, Jim was nasty, I reached out to Bill, Bill came and destroyed, and finally our search was over with Dexter.
And yet you sound alarmingly digital. Why is it better when done analogue? McKenna: Because it’s live. A lot of people,
when they first walk in, are blown away; it’s a shock. They’re looking for a DJ. A lot of times when you go see a DJ they’re not very animated. And when you see live musicians doing it and you see the sweat and you see us pouring our heart and soul into it… I feel like it really affects people, it’s so upbeat it moves people in a visceral way. What’s the band’s biggest accomplishment to date? Jimmy Grillo: Just getting us all together to
play music and be on the same page.
With all your musical backgrounds, is there a lot of compromise? Smith: It’s not compromise. It’s that whole
fury thing and finding where it goes.
How hard is it to mimic digital precision in an analogue setting? McKenna: I feel we have perfect moments
when the balance is just right.
How do you approach improvisation? Grillo: It’s more of a James Brown take on
improv; if we have a section of music we already know, we can take that section in a live show and, for instance, have the bass drop out. McKenna: And that changes the whole dynamic. We do what a computer and a DJ can’t do; we can improvise, we can change in the moment. Would you ever work with a DJ? McKenna: It would have to be someone
over the top, somebody nasty. Because RootsCollider, I’d like to think, is the loudest non-metal band in Rochester. We come with a force. It’s musical kung-fu. Dexter Redic: We’re here to move you, baby.

Beethoven and Forget. It’s a double billing for which Forget should be proud.

Forget’s works have been commissioned and premiered by large ensembles, chamber groups, and soloists. Hochstein’s Alumni Orchestra, under the baton of Evan Meccarello, will perform Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 in A Major and the premiere of Forget’s “Three Sketches for Orchestra.” The Hochstein Alumni Orchestra is newly formed by Meccarello and consists of more than 40 Hochstein alums, many of whom are now college music students, music teachers, and professional musicians.

OLD-TIMEY | Canal Street String Band
The Canal Street String Band, a newly formed roots trio from Buffalo, explores the origin of American folk music, playing everything from traditional Western swing to rags to sea chanteys. Leading the way is fiddler Phil Banaszak, a former state fiddle champion and member of the North American Fiddlers Hall of Fame. He’s joined by talented multi-instrumentalist and ethnomusicologist Dave Ruch, and string bassist extraordinaire Jim Whitford, who has served as a sideman to luminaries like Peter Case and the Tarbox Ramblers. The band’s show is sponsored by Golden Link Folk Singing Society and will be preceded by hands-on workshops with the trio earlier in the afternoon. Registration required. The Canal Street String Band performs Saturday, January 8, 7:30 p.m. at the Rochester Christian Reform Church, 2750 Atlantic Ave. $10-$18. 334-4732, goldenlink.org. — BY RYAN WHIRTY DJ Andy Fade.

Brad Lubman is an Eastman professor and conductor of several renowned ensembles. He’s a passionate advocate for so-called new music — even if it’s hard to define exactly what that is. PHOTO BY PALOMA CAPANNA
New music for the new year [ PROFILE ] BY PALOMA CAPANNA
If Brad Lubman has his way, your New Year’s resolution will be to attend at least one “new music” concert in 2011. “Why does it have to have a label? Just go and try it out,” says Lubman. “The worst thing that will happen is that when it’s over you’ll say, ‘Those 20 minutes were so unbearable, I won’t be downloading that to my iTunes.’” Lubman is a conductor and composer based at the Eastman School of Music who has led major orchestras and ensembles. His national credits include the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic New Music Group, and Chicago Symphony MusicNOW. His European credits include DSO Berlin, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, and the Finnish Radio Symphony. His upcoming concert schedule — just for the next four months — will take him from Rochester to New York City to Europe to Asia. By “new music” Lubman refers to pieces that could and should and might be classical enough to qualify him to be in the same musicschool building as Beethoven or Debussy, but different enough to stick out. New music can’t be defined by specific dates, Lubman says, nor can it be defined by living composers. Part of the problem with the genre is that it lacks a universally accepted definition. Any resistance you have to new music is nothing Lubman hasn’t already heard. Take his 1982 experience when going to see the film “Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance.” “I’m in college. A friend and I go to see the film and the film is amazing, all images, sped up sometimes, and the music is Philip Glass. He’s using tonal materials, but not in the normal way. His is an interesting way of doing this; I really like it,” says Lubman, “We’re walking out, my friend says, great movie, but the music sucked.” 18 City january 5-11, 2011
It was a similar experience in the 80’s with the New York City classical-music crowd, when new music seemed to show up in one way or another at every concert. “We went to a lot of concerts, and the reason to go to the concert was the main piece. They put big pieces on the program: the Berlioz ‘Symphonie Fantastique,’ the Saint-Saens ‘Organ Symphony.’ But there was usually one new piece on the program and I was always so fascinated, but at the same time so annoyed because the audience would start walking out during the piece,” says Lubman. “It’s not because I shunned the old and the traditional,” says Lubman. “It’s not that I can’t relate to old music.” But that may be just the wording that will cause lovers of classical music to shift uncomfortably in their seats; the notion that what they love could be labeled “old.” “I don’t like any of the labels that are used,” says Lubman. “I’ve worked a lot with Steve Reich, for example. He’s been labeled a ‘minimalist.’ I hate the label.” The problem, of course, is that if you don’t
use labels like “new” or “minimalist” or “experimental,” you have to use technical terms like “atonal” or “12-tone” or “phase shifting” to describe the music. And once you’re into technical terms beyond the vocabulary of your typical classical-music lover, you’re left with the question of whether you can sign up for a course in new music with Lubman, associate professor of conducting and ensembles at Eastman, to prepare to attend a concert. Instead, Lubman offers a lesson he learned in college that he labels “a revelation.” “If you play the first 30 seconds of Richard Strauss ‘Four Last Songs’ and then the first 30 seconds of the Pierre Boulez Piano Sonata No. 2, chances are most people would immediately put those two pieces very far apart. The image that comes to the mind is Romantic-era, late
1800’s and then very, very modern,” he says. “Both pieces were written in 1948.” Lubman’s fascination with new music goes back more than 35 years. He knew from an early age that he would become a conductor. “I was 14 or 15 and that was it; my mind was made up,” he says. It was around that time that Lubman started buying used records for 25 cents at the Cedarhurst Public Library on Long Island. “I remember the first time I heard Philip Glass’ ‘Einstein on the Beach,’” says Lubman, “My reaction was so strange. I thought I wasn’t supposed to like this, but it was this secret fascination. It was like liking lucite furniture.” So when Lubman mentions that his New York-based ensemble, SIGNAL, is about to release a new CD titled “Glassworks: Live at the Moulin Rouge,” he’s in a position to say “it is going to be the most definitive recording of [Glass’] work.” Lubman worked directly with Philip Glass. And Glass isn’t the only new-music icon on Lubman’s friend list. He walks in the circles of Glass, Reich, Helmut Lachenmann, Pierre Boulez, Oliver Knussen, and John Zorn. At a December 8 rehearsal of Musica Nova,
an ensemble for new music based at Eastman and directed by Lubman, the group worked on “Requiem for Sue” with composer and conductor Knussen in the room. There was Lubman conducting, and there was Knussen saying things like, “It’s minimalism at its most minimal.” And then Knussen’s voice piped up, saying, “It’s a little, tiny bit on the slow side,” to which Lubman flipped a page of the score back-andforth, asking, “Where?” “The whole thing,” Knussen replied. The two of them debated about the “quarter-quarter-quarter-eighth” that Lubman had just been explaining to the ensemble, until it’s from the top, and everyone goes at it again. That’s one of the benefits of new music: the ability to discuss a work with its still-living composer. “Working with living composers affords one the opportunity to realize that music is a living, breathing organism that is palpable and malleable,” says Lubman. “You have to always question yourself and the piece — that happens automatically, because they are in the room with you.” So while classical-music audiences may hesitate to cross the threshold into the neighboring room of new music, Lubman cannot imagine his own life without it. “I really feel blessed that I can be just as crazily enthusiastic — ecstatic — as when I was 5 years old and discovered The Beatles, or 14 and discovered Mahler,” he says. “What keeps me that way is because I do so much new music.” The Eastman Musica Nova ensemble will next perform on Wednesday, March 2, at Kilbourn Hall with a program featuring music by Cage, Festinger, and Lesemann.

ART EVENT | First Friday
A fresh new year, and baby it’s cold outside; time to turn toward the community and think of others. January’s First Friday promises exhibitions that will get you thinking, and some even benefit charities. The monthly city-wide gallery night is held by non-profit, university, and commercial and indie art venues in Rochester, where we all trot about from station to station, filling our eyes and ears with what’s new and exciting in our community. On Friday, January 7, 6-9 p.m. (and sometimes later) you can check out art openings, poetry readings, and musical performances in various locations. Visit firstfridayrochester.org for a list of this month’s participating venues, and check out all the flyers in cafes and such for more events happening the same night. Here are just a few: At the Arts & Cultural Council (277 N. Goodman St., 473-4000), check out “Parallel Perspectives: 11 Views,” a multimedia exhibit by the women of DRAW (pictured). The exhibition opens 5-8 p.m. Booksmart Studio (250 N. Goodman St., 598-9322) will host two openings of photographic works, entitled “Washington to Washington,” by Joel Wellington Fisher, and “In-Habitation,” a juried socio-graphic interpretation of America. The reception runs 6-9 p.m. Over at the Baobab Cultural Center (728 University Ave., 563-2145), Kamoinge, a collective of African-American photographers from New York City, will explore “Neo African Identities.” Catch that reception between 6 and 9 p.m. as well. Next door, Image City Photography Gallery (722 University Ave., 271-2540) will host its annual juried show, “FOCUS,” which features more than 100 photographers. Equal Grounds coffee house (750 South Ave., 242-7840) will present the colorful drawings and illustrations of Jonha Smith. Crocus Clay Works (Studio 225, Hungerford Building Door 2, 1115 E Main St., 414-5643) will present “Winter Warmth: a Soup(er) Benefit,” 5-9 p.m., at which you can purchase a $15 handmade bowl and enjoy a hot meal of delicious soup, bread, beverage, and dessert. All proceeds will be donated to Healthy Sisters’ Soup & Bean Project. Gallery 821 (7 Schoen Place, Pittsford, 385-2131) will host a collaborative exhibit entitled “Exquisite Corpse,” based on the surrealist parlor game of taking turns drawing heads, torsos, and legs on folded papers, then unfolding the sheets to reveal the complete body created in unwitting style combinations. A portion of the proceeds from the art sales will be donated to the transplant unit at Rochester General Hospital. Catch this playful opening 6-8 p.m. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY “FOCUS” Fri Jan 7.

ART/LECTURE | Contemporary Native-American Art
Native American artists are known for their stunning skill in creating and decorating cultural artifacts with patterns, symbols, and pictures that depict their experiences in the world. Wait, that’s the stuff whitie took and put behind glass in museums. Native Americans are still creating art. If your knowledge of Native-American art begins and ends with crumbling artifacts or a Native-American-themed art show here and there, you’re not alone. So why is their contemporary art absent from the modern collections in galleries and museums around the world? On Saturday, January 8, noon-2 p.m., artist, historian, and Ganondagan State Historic Site Manager G. Peter Jemison will speak on “Why Contemporary Native American Art Has Never Been the Rage.” This talk is part of the “lunch and lecture” series held at the Victor Town Hall (85 E. Main St., Victor), and costs $25, or $20 for Friends of Ganondagan members. For more information and to register, call 7421690 or visit ganondagan.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Wed-Sun 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Thu until 9 p.m., $4-$10.

The heartbreak of memory “Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris” Through January 22 Blackfriars Theatre, 795 E Main St. $15-$27 | 454-1260, bftix.com. [ REVIEW ] BY MICHAEL LASSER
Even though the musical revue, “Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris” plays all over the English-speaking world, I think it’s fair to say that most people have no idea who Brel is. A songwriter and singer, he was born in Brussels in 1929, spent most of his career in Paris, and died in the Marquesas Islands in 1978 at the age of 48. His reputation in the United States rests almost entirely on this revue of nearly two dozen of his songs, concocted by Eric Blau and Mort Shuman in 1968. It initially ran off Broadway for more than four years. More recently, the Stratford Shakespeare Festival performed it last summer, and now Blackfriars is reviving it as well. The company’s intimate thrust theater on East Main Street is an ideal setting for this equally intimate show that uses four singers identified only as Man 1, Man 2, Woman 1, and Woman 2. The songs are what count. Perhaps that’s why director John Haldoupis outfitted the four singers with microphones so they would be sure to be heard. Unfortunately, at the Sunday afternoon performance I saw, the sound system was unpredictable and unbalanced in the second act. 22 City january 5-11, 2011
Brel’s best songs are immediate and memorable.
They compel your attention and then you find yourself humming them days later. Reminiscent of the cabarets and music halls of Paris where Brel often performed, their distinctive melodies combine raw power with lyricism. Unlike the optimism about love in many American songs, Brel’s lyrics are less sanguine. They range from wistfulness to rage. They also range beyond easy sentiments about love to make political statements and comment bluntly about the dehumanizing aspects of modern life. If one theme runs through many of the songs, it’s the longing and loneliness that we endure, whether from the horrors of war, the encroachments of age, or the loss of love. Brel is a master of the heartbreak of memory. Most of his love songs use the melancholy of an inescapable present to remember better times or they move forward to a future in which nothing remains but memory. With no dialogue between the four performers onstage, and only occasional brief comments to set up the next song, “Jacques Brel” relies on the songs and their performances. Now and then, a song is too “French” for my taste. I found “The Desperate Ones” and “My Death” too self-conscious to be convincing, adrift on a sea of stylishly existential angst. The despair feels easy, but the dark wit of “Timid Frieda” and “Middle Class” brings a satisfyingly sardonic edge to all the broken hearts that sometimes threaten to clutter the stage. Fortunately, Brel’s songs are also capable of deeply touching emotion, as in “Alone,” “I Loved,” “Old Folks,” and my favorite of all his songs, the heartbreakingly beautiful cri de coeur, “Marieke.”
Although it must be tempting (and easy)
to perform this revue as if it’s a nightclub act, Haldoupis infuses the performances of the songs with theatrical staging to keep them, the show, and the performers moving. Fortunately, many of the songs have their own sense of drama, but not all of the four performers share it. Sarah Peters, Janine Mercandetti, Nick Rogers, and Tom Ricci have good theater voices, but only near the end of the first act did they begin to sing from within the songs. Ricci and especially Mercandetti began to portray the characters and emotions each song created. Mercandetti sang with great conviction, especially in “Marieke” and “Brussels.” Ricci, who has a full, rich baritone, was also more expressive in the second act, playing more to the audience as if he was a song-and-dance man with conviction. Rogers sang the most forceful songs from “Mathilde” to “Next,” but with a single unchanging emotional note throughout. The problems with the performance were twofold. First, Peters and Rogers lacked onstage authority. I’m not sure that’s something you can teach, but it is something that performers need to have, especially in a revue where there are no sustained characters to project. Rather than taking the stage, they were simply on it. As a result, their numbers were less compelling, even less believable, than they might have been. Second, the group numbers lacked precision; they bordered on sloppy. Music director Bob Dietch at the piano and percussionist Greg Gascon provided strong professional accompaniment.

KIDS EVENT | Circus Incognitus
If you missed the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey clowns when they were in town in October, kids and kids-at-heart have another opportunity to experience the big top this week. Circus Incognitus is a playful one-man circus comedy starring awardwinning “vaudevillian” Jamie Atkins, who has been a featured soloist in other, larger shows, including Cirque du Soleil. The all-ages story follows a shy clown who has something to say, but is frustrated by his inability to express himself. Watch the story unfold as he musters the courage to face his greatest fear — speaking in public. Dude, I feel you. The show takes place Saturday, January 8, at 2 p.m., at the Nazareth College Callahan Theater (4245 East Ave.).

LECTURE | “The Digital Divide”
The 2010 suicide of Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi was not strictly depression-based, but resultant from the idea that his sexual explorations were less valid and more damaging than those of his heterosexual roommate. While many guys would revel in their exploits with a girl ending up on the internet, our current social climate informed Clementi that the caught-on-camera presence of another male in his bed was a form of humiliation. This was more than a prank; the invasion of privacy felt to him like his doom. The internet and social-networking sites have often been used as an extension of bullying, enabling an extra-swift and dangerous callousness. The long-term goal is to shift our cultural understanding in such a way that this invasion of privacy might have been embarrassing, but not have resulted in a death. Until then, many believe the answer is to form firmer legal protections in the unprecedented arena of social-networking sites. On Tuesday, January 11, 12:12-12:52 p.m. at the Kate Gleason Auditorium in the Central Library (115 South Ave.), Jennifer Gravitz will speak on “The Digital Divide: Where Traditional Law Meets Computer (Mis)Conduct.” This lecture kicks off the free “Tuesday Topics” series, which will extend through March 1, and include other talks on the source of happiness, building a digital library, and the Buffalo Bills.

“The Fighter” (R), directed by David O. Russell Now playing
Paradoxically, although it hardly ranks among the most popular sports in this country, boxing dominates sport films. The constricted space of its geometrical arena, its clear, obvious conflict and rapid, violent action make the subject a natural for the cinema. More important, the stories and characters outside the ring itself appeal to filmmakers and audiences — those inspiring tales of triumph over adversity, the victory of the underdog against long odds, the constant presence

of corruption, the engaging contrasts of seedy gyms and locker rooms with the glamour of celebrity supply irresistible material for any writer or director. Much of that material appears in “The Fighter,” based on the actual story of the boxer Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg), a working-class kid from the decrepit mill town of Lowell, Massachusetts, who fought hard both inside and outside the ring to win the welterweight championship. The movie examines his life in some detail, showing that more than his bouts with other fighters, his loud, messy, interfering family created the largest and most difficult obstacles to his success. The picture employs a number of narrative devices, including various voiceovers, the actual commentary of television announcers, family photographs, and home movies of Micky’s childhood. The most pervasive thread involves an HBO documentary featuring Micky’s older brother Dicky (Christian Bale), once a promising fighter himself, who instructs Micky in technique and supervises his training. Unfortunately Dicky

is untrustworthy and unreliable, a crackhead who deludes himself that he can make a comeback; he apparently believes the film will deal with his return to the ring either as fighter or trainer, but in reality the producers use him to demonstrate the destructive effects of addiction. His domineering, manipulative mother, Alice (Melissa Leo), who manages him, persuades Micky to fight against a much larger, heavier opponent, because they all need the money; as a result, Micky suffers a terrible beating that leads him to rethink his career. Her daughters, a raucous, profane squad of harpies, like some perverse Greek chorus, comment on the action, encourage her outrageous behavior, and echo her hysteria, even accompanying her on an excursion to assault up Micky’s girlfriend Charlene (Amy Adams). While it exhibits the horrible dysfunction within Micky’s family, “The Fighter” also explores the complexity of Micky’s character. Determined not to serve as a stepping stone — a fighter who loses to superior opponents on their way up — he makes tentative, painful attempts to assert himself, with the help of Charlene, as an athlete and as a man, in the face of the emotional blackmail of his mother and brother. His relationship with Dicky in particular, complicated by love, guilt, and anger, threatens everything he stands to win, yet represents something he cannot simply abandon; he ultimately succeeds through Dicky’s own rehabilitation.

To love, honor, and murder [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO
“All Good Things” (R), directed by Andrew Jarecki Opens Friday
Despite its several subjects, in the traditional manner the movie employs a string of Micky’s matches to support all the complications outside of his career. Those fights, promoted by HBO, exist in archival television footage, which means they follow the actual history of Micky Ward’s unlikely ascent to the welterweight championship. The staged matches show a terrific ferocity, with the boxer slugging it out with a series of opponents, most of them favored to win, in some extremely bloody action, more difficult to watch than the stylized butchery of Martin Scorsese’s brilliant “Raging Bull.” The picture succeeds remarkably well in just about all it attempts — as a boxing film, as a docudrama, as an exploration of family, and as an accurate study of working-class life. It’s also, somewhat surprisingly, an actors’ movie, featuring fine performances from all its principals, with Mark Wahlberg’s passive style contrasting with Christian Bale’s jumpy excess (compact and muscular, Wahlberg actually looks like a welterweight, but the skinny crackhead Bale plays shouldn’t be allowed in the ring, and curiously, neither displays a broken nose, impossible for a boxer). Somewhere between leathery and tawdry, Melissa Leo, in a part that probably allows for the widest variety of emotions, plays Alice as the fiercest mother since Faye Dunaway’s Joan Crawford. “The Fighter” belongs with the best boxing movies, a most distinguished group of films, and because of all of its components — narrative structure, verisimilitude, theme, and performances — also belongs with the much smaller group of the best films of the year.
With its vaguely Shakespearean themes of wealth, suicide, and dismemberment, it’s obvious why director Andrew Jarecki was drawn to the notorious tale of Robert Durst. The scion of a powerful Manhattan family, Durst was implicated in the 1982 disappearance of his wife, Kathleen, as well as the 2000 execution-style murder of his longtime friend, writer Susan Berman. Then, in 2001, Durst — at that point living as a cross-dressing mute in Galveston, Texas — chopped up his elderly neighbor after killing him in what he claimed was self-defense. (The jury acquitted the so-called “Millionaire Murderer,” though they did send the accused up the river a bit for “improper disposal of a body.” That’s some fine juryin’, Texas!) The missing-persons case and the Berman killing remain unsolved, however, so the informed speculation found in Jarecki’s disappointingly inert “All Good Things” changes the names to protect the possibly guilty.
Kirsten Dunst and Ryan Gosling in “All Good
Things.” PHOTO COURTESY MAGNOLIA PICTURES
Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling stars as David Marks, who we meet in 1971 as he’s simultaneously falling in love with his future wife and railing against the expectations of his oppressive father. Kirsten Dunst plays Katie McCarthy, the relative commoner who convinces David to follow his dreams of opening a health-food store in Vermont, but their happiness is short-lived once real-estate magnate Sanford Marks (the imposing Frank Langella) browbeats his black-sheep son into returning to New York City and joining the semi-shady family business. Soon David is pounding the pavement to collect his father’s rental incomes on scummy 42nd Street while Katie enjoys the finer amenities that her nowprivileged life allows. But all good things must end, they say, and an irreparable fissure erupts between David and Katie over his refusal to have a family. “Does that girl know how fucked up you are?” David’s friend Deborah (Lily Rabe, daughter of the late Jill Clayburgh) asks him half-jokingly. As Katie learns more about the events of David’s past that have come to define him, most notably his mother’s horrific suicide, she gets a clearer picture of the man she fell in love with and begins making plans for a solo future. David reacts to his wife’s emotional distance with a cycle of violence and apology, then one day she’s just gone. Soon David is, too; after his wife vanishes he decides to “stop being David Marks,” so he puts on a dress and lives quietly in Galveston, where he befriends his sad-sack neighbor (busy character actor Philip Baker Hall) and proceeds to manipulate him as well. Thanks to an unsubtly ominous script and plinky Hermann-lite score, Jarecki leaves little doubt as to his thoughts on Katie’s ultimate fate,
and when Deborah is contacted in 2000 by the Westchester DA who is revisiting the mystery of Katie’s disappearance, Jarecki theorizes a connection between Deborah’s ensuing murder and David’s new life in Texas. “All Good Things” is Jarecki’s debut narrative feature; he made a splash a couple years back with the acclaimed documentary “Capturing the Friedmans” — trivia time: he also co-founded MovieFone — and one can’t help but wonder whether “All Good Things” should have gone the factual route as well, allowing the story to steer clear of melodramatic conjecture, especially in its oddly flavored third act. But Jarecki does demonstrate some nifty skill in recreating 1970’s Manhattan, specifically Times Square in all its sleazy, sex-shop glory. As far as Ryan Gosling, there isn’t much he can’t do; he delivers a reliably excellent performance as the haunted David, and it’s probably not his fault that the character of David is so surprisingly uninvolving. His backstory is tragic, but David is too devoid of charisma to engage us... or maybe we just don’t notice him in the presence of the tour-de-force that is Kirsten Dunst. Save for her heartbreaking performance in “The Virgin Suicides,” I’ve never really been a Dunst fan, but she’s revelatory here, as Katie’s optimistic glow at the beginning of the film gradually twists into a coked-out despair once she realizes exactly what she married. Now 20 years into her career — she’s still only 28 — the tiny lines in her face are starting to emerge, allowing Dunst to appear harder, even wiser, and convey way more beyond dimpled joy or dewy sadness.

Southwest Rochester’s 19th Ward neighborhood is known for its many beautiful and wellmaintained late 19th and early 20th century residences. Tree-lined Rugby Avenue includes many elegant house styles. The brown and white American foursquare at 224 Rugby, built in 1910, features sparkling oak floors in almost every room. Beyond its covered front porch is a spacious foyer. A staircase with oak banisters, balustrade and decorative newel post leads from the foyer to the second floor. A shimmering yellow and red stained glass window with a green circular floral design and a curved top enhances the staircase landing. The foyer leads to the kitchen and pantry that include plenty of cabinet and counter space. The pantry has the original glass-fronted cabinets and a swinging door to the dining room, which features a bay window with a cozy seat and an entrance to a covered back porch. A solid oak pocket door separates the dining room from the living room. A group of three windows that look out onto Rugby Avenue are an attractive focal point of the living room. Upstairs are four bedrooms, each with closets. One of the back bedrooms offers access to a covered porch. A large bathroom with tub and shower is off the upstairs hall, which includes a linen closet. The 40 x 132 lot includes a separate twocar garage. The attic and basement of the house offer plenty of storage space.
The 19th Ward is home to a diverse group of neighbors that includes doctors, lawyers, college professors, and factory workers. Neighbors enjoy gathering together to celebrate their community with annual events including the Square Fair neighborhood festival and candlelight dinners. The house at 224 Rugby Avenue is within walking distance of the public library branch on Arnett Boulevard, The Southwest YMCA on Thurston Road, and a variety of other restaurants, businesses, and services. Nearby schools include elementary school #16 on Post Avenue and the Joseph C. Wilson Magnet High School on Genesee Street. Within a short drive of the 19th Ward are the University of Rochester, RIT, and the businesses and entertainment of Downtown Rochester. The house is also close to RTS bus stops on Arnett Boulevard and on Chili Avenue. For more information about the neighborhood, visit the 19th Ward Community Association website at 19wca.org.
