Jim Sheppard: ‘We’re all in this together’ For the record, Rochester Police Chief Jim Sheppard says he has no idea what happened with his predecessor, David Moore. Former Mayor Bob Duffy called him one day, Sheppard says, and essentially told him that he was the new police chief. And if there’s any resentment over the abrupt transition, Sheppard says he hasn’t heard about it. It probably helps that Sheppard’s an old hand, having joined the police department in 1981 and working his way up the ranks. Those familiar with the inner workings of the RPD say Sheppard
is highly respected and well-liked. He’s seen as someone who isn’t likely to initiate major changes in practice or policy, but will instead focus on solid, day-to-day policing. Sheppard talks repeatedly about a police department that is proactive and aggressive. Good policing, he says, isn’t sitting in your patrol car waiting for things to happen. Good policing is being visible, confronting the guy walking down the street carrying the TV, and interacting with the many, many good people who live in the city.

urban journal | by mary anna towler
Downtown revival, a step at a time It was a sobering little excursion: Our son, home for Christmas, asked how downtown was doing. And so we took a late-afternoon drive to let him see. We showed him the Eastman Theatre expansion and the Sagamore. But we also showed him the deconstruction at Midtown Plaza. And then we drove along Main Street. “What’s in that building now?” he would ask, pointing. And our answer: “Nothing. It’s vacant.” “What’s in that building?” “Vacant.” Building after building, in those important blocks in the St. Paul-Clinton area. Vacant. Vacant. And Sibley’s? “Partially occupied, but….” Rochester ended the year with the news that Paetec really will build its headquarters on part of the Midtown site. That was more than just a positive development. If Paetec had pulled back, the psychological damage to the city would have been enormous. Rochester can’t let a piece of good news go by unchallenged, of course, and it took no time for the skeptics to sound off. “Uh, yeah,” wrote one of our readers, “a grand 3 stories tall. Chesonis’ new house in Brighton is taller than that.” Unquestionably, we’re getting a smaller building than Paetec had first anticipated. Times have changed. But we are getting Paetec. And its move into downtown brings more than a new building. It’s a $55 million investment, generating an estimated $22 million in tax revenue over 20 years. It will create construction jobs. It will bring 1000 more people downtown to work. Also important to remember: downtown’s been climbing back toward health for years, even without Paetec. While we’ve lost a lot of retail, there’s been growth in a different, significant area: residential. Since 2000, says Heidi Zimmer-Meyer of the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation, 26 buildings have been converted into housing. Another seven conversions are either under way or have been announced. A major development has been proposed for the northwest corner of West Main and Plymouth. Two developers are interested in the big Josh Lofton building in the Cascade District. Some 4200 people live downtown now, and Zimmer-Meyer says developers tell her they don’t think the housing market is tapped out. The Four Corners area is “pretty solid,” says Zimmer-Meyer, with both private and government offices. And while MCC is still studying potential sites, it’s committed to

The East End continues to be lively at night. The Little Theatre is now flanked by high-end residences. The new wing of the Eastman Theatre is open. Downtown Rochester will never be the downtown many of us knew several decades ago. But, Zimmer-Meyer reminds us, so far, it has survived the flush of suburban shopping malls and office parks. And at the moment, it feels like we’re taking more steps forward than backward.
The Tucson shooting
The tragedy in Tucson has set off a heated debate about the danger of violence-laced political rhetoric. There’ll be no resolution to that argument, though: accused gunman Jared Loughner certainly seems to have serious mental-health problems, and it’s a stretch to say that politicians’ words led directly to his actions. But surely this tragedy might convince Americans, once and for all, about the need for stricter gun control. Arizona’s laws are exceptionally favorable to gun owners. Loughner didn’t steal his gun; he bought it, legally: a semi-automatic that he could fire more than 30 times without reloading. Which he did. Gun-control opponents see no connection, though. The Arizona Daily Star, in fact, says that a leader of the pro-gun Arizona Citizens Defense League has concluded exactly the opposite. “This shows why it is so vital to have an armed citizenry,” the League’s Charles Heller told a Star reporter. Since you can’t eliminate all guns, Heller said, you have to have “a well-prepared citizenry.” Citizen Loughner was well prepared. The people who tackled and disarmed him did so without guns.

Why Richards?
I read with interest your interview with Tom Richards (December 29), and I too have questions. What are his qualifications” From what I have read Mr. Richards is an attorney and once CEO of Rochester Gas & Electric and incidentally, a millionaire: when RG&E was sold, Mr. Richard states, he was “pushed out.” Of course he took, what, $10 million with him. I am not convinced that his background qualifies him to assume the mayoralty of the city. What would a millionaire know about living in a low-income area? What would he know about feeding his family, and being out of work? I would think that during his tenure as the CEO of RG&E, he pretty much dictated the course of the utility with little or no dissent. Oh, I’m sure he held board meetings, etc., and would be aware of the Public Service Commission and what he could or could not do. The most recent poll of city residents indicated that the majority did not want a special election. And here you have the “ins” pushing Richards as mayor. There needs to be a long, hard consensus of any candidate’s qualifications. From my perspective, I don’t see Mr. Richards as the man to fill the job.
We need new Tuba venue
On Saturday, December 18, I played for the first time in Rochester’s annual Merry Tuba Christmas concert, and I doff my Santa hat to organizer Joe Baker, conductors Glen Call and Marcia Parkes, and their wonderful staff. As I puffed away on my borrowed baritone horn, surrounded by and contributing to perhaps the most magnificent sound ever generated by mankind, I marveled at the breadth and depth of my fellow musicians. Up in front were a cluster of youngsters as young as age 10; right behind me sat a lusty player 90 years old; and just to my right sat David Richey, retired bass trombonist with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. When the concert used to be performed at Midtown Plaza, the hall was large enough, but there was no place for the audience to sit. This marks the second year the musicians have performed at Hochstein, and although the hall is lovely, already they are outgrowing this venue: more than 200 players on stage and a standing roomonly-crowd of 500. It seems time for yet another move. How about Kodak Hall at the Eastman Theater? It possesses a large stage, plenty of comfortable seating, and a beautiful setting; and the long-standing tradition of the Eastman School of Music has been to provide the Rochester community with enriching experiences. Finally, what greater reward could there be for those many dedicated musicians than to be able to say that they performed on the stage of Kodak Hall? RICHARD MUIR, WEBSTER

Sometimes it seems like no matter how hard the Highland Park Neighborhood Association works, the group just can’t counteract the negative perception many people have of the city school district, says Mary Staropoli, HPNA vice chair. The neighborhood loses families to the suburbs, she says, either before their kids enter kindergarten or before they enter middle school. More people leave the neighborhood because of the city school district, she says, than any other reason. “There’s just not confidence in the city school district,” Staropoli says. “I think a lot of it is perception. Some people depart before they even get in the door of the district. They’re not even going to look. They’re not even going to do the investigative work.” To help counteract that perception, the HPNA is having a school choice meeting from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, January 25, at the Artisan Church, 1235 South Clinton Avenue. The purpose of the meeting, Staropoli says, is to raise people’s
comfort level with the city school district and to assure them that they have choices other than leaving the city. “You’ve got private school options, charter school options, our great neighborhood school — School 12,” she says. “There are so many choices.” The HPNA wants to give voice to the benefits and value of city schools, Staropoli says. She’s met many cityschool graduates, she says, and they’re amazing people. “They’re worldly kids and they can mingle with just about anybody because of what they’ve learned in those schools,” Staropoli says. “We have to give people a chance to hear that side of it: that there’s a big upside.” The HPNA is also looking to create block clubs, she says, to increase people’s connection to the neighborhood. The long-term goal, Staropoli says, is to have a leader on every block.

Cuomo’s DEC pick gets a warm welcome
Once and future mayor?
Environmental groups big and small are praising Governor Andrew Cuomo’s pick to lead New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation. Joseph Martens, a prominent open-space advocate, will lead the agency, pending confirmation by the State Senate. Martens served as president of the Open Space Institute, a land-preservation organization, beginning in 1998. The group’s been especially active in conservation projects in the Adirondacks and Hudson Valley areas. Martens has history with the Cuomo family. He was former Governor Mario Cuomo’s deputy secretary for energy and the environment from 1992 to 1994. Environmental groups, as well as some legislators and business groups, including the Independent Power Producers of New York, are praising the Martens appointment. Jim Howe, director of the Nature Conservancy in Central and Western New York, says Martens is extremely knowledgeable on environmental issues, understands the way Albany works, and has economic development experience. “This is a great pick,” Howe says. Martens is stepping into a difficult job at a difficult time. As DEC commissioner, he’ll have to balance different and sometimes competing priorities. He’ll constantly
face pressure or criticism from some combination of environmentalists, industries, communities, and politicians. And the DEC has suffered massive Martens staff reductions via Joseph PROVIDED PHOTO former Governors David Paterson and George Pataki. Paterson made the cuts as a response to the state’s growing financial crisis. The DEC is also finalizing a massive environmental impact study of high-volume hydraulic fracturing in the Marcellus and Utica Shales. Media reports have characterized Martens’ approach to the issue as cautious. Cuomo will also have influence, but his position on high-volume fracking isn’t entirely clear. But the combination of Cuomo and Martens could prove beneficial to the state’s dwindling Environmental Protection Fund. In 2009, Martens signed on to a letter calling on Paterson to restore the EPF. And it was Cuomo’s father who signed the legislation that created the EPF. Howe says he’s hopeful that the new governor also views the fund as a priority.

Closing the door on vinyl windows

It’s not unusual in neighborhoods throughout the city to see older wood windows stacked at the curb. Rather than restore the windows, property owners usually replace them, often with vinyl windows. Rochester is now among cities and towns across the country reviewing its ordinance regarding vinyl replacement windows. It’s a hot topic among preservationists that is attracting broader public attention. The city’s Preservation Board is considering developing a set of windowrelated guidelines to its ordinance regarding the approval of certificates of appropriateness. Owners of city-designated landmarks or properties located in a city preservation district are required to obtain a CofA before almost any exterior change is made. There is a $100 application fee for the CofA. The ordinance would continue to apply only to city-designated landmarks and preservation district properties, but the new guidelines would deter the use of vinyl replacement windows. And board members would offer alternatives to vinyl. The change would be significant. While it would impact a relatively small and distinct group of properties, Rochester’s approach is being closely watched by communities around the state. And the Preservation Board is considering a series of additional guidelines to apply to things such as landscapes. But at a meeting last week, Preservation Board members seemed far from reaching a consensus on what the new windows guidelines should say. Some members said they were worried about approving a set of guidelines that are too rigid because the controversy over vinyl windows is complicated and multifaceted. City
JANUARY 12-18, 2011
But Peter Siegrist, the city’s preservation planner, says the guidelines should be as explicit as possible. Something with a lot of exceptions, he says, will just bog down the approval process and create confusion. “There’s going to be a tremendous public outcry if that happens,” he says. “We’ve got to be clear.” Siegrist will prepare in the next few weeks a draft of the guidelines for board members to review. Many of the city’s buildings — residential
and commercial — are older and have windows that need attention. Vinyl replacement windows are popular because they are relatively cheap and easy to install. Educating consumers about the value of restoring older wood windows is important, says Cynthia Howk, architectural research coordinator for the Landmark Society of Western New York. While the city’s CofA ordinance doesn’t apply to all property owners, she says, everyone should know their options. “Windows are a major and significant feature of any building,” Howk says. “There’s no question that replacing older wood windows with vinyl windows greatly diminishes the character of an older property.” Restoring older windows can also increase property values, she says. The Landmark Society has been guiding the Preservation Board on a window policy. The Society strongly opposes the use of vinyl replacement windows. But many property owners are intimidated by the necessary repairs and upkeep of older windows. The work can be difficult, time-intensive, and require the help
Escape the cold of winter with the warm, fresh flavors of the Mediterranean. of an experienced window repair person, said John Schick, architect and Preservation Board member, at last week’s meeting. And finding a knowledgeable craftsperson to do the work can be problematic, he said. Highly qualified restoration people do exist in the Rochester area, Howk says, but they aren’t well-known. And their work takes time, she says, and may seem costly compared to installing a vinyl window. Getting consumers to think about the long-term investment they’re making might ease some of their worries, Howk says. “We’re talking about the difference between a wood sash — the part of the window that holds the glass — which has provided decades of service, compared to vinyl windows that may not even last a decade,” she says. But many property owners see heavily painted windows that won’t open or close, Howk says, and they incorrectly assume that the windows can’t be restored. Vinyl replacement windows can seem like a low-cost solution, she says, but durability isn’t assured. Many vinyl window products are designed to last about 20 years, Howk says, but often begin to deteriorate sooner. And unlike wood windows which are made with replaceable parts, when a vinyl window breaks, the whole window usually needs to be replaced. Even newer wood replacement windows are often constructed with softer, less durable lumber, Howk says, while the wood used in historic windows is much harder. That wood is usually from old growth forests, she says, and with proper care, Howk says, the windows can last indefinitely. But discouraging the use of vinyl replacement
windows is not just a matter of protecting the aesthetics of older properties. There are serious environmental and economic considerations, too. Fossil fuels are a key component in vinyl windows. And the old wood windows are typically sent to landfills if they aren’t reused. Energy-saving claims are a major selling point for vinyl window retailers and contractors, but a local expert says those claims are often skewed. “Yeah, typically a new window will perform better than an old leaky window,” says Steve Jordan, a local historic preservation consultant. “But you can take an old window, weather strip it, clean it up, and put a storm window on it, and it will perform just as well and sometimes better than a new window.” Jordan says he doesn’t want to indict the whole window industry, because “a lot of
companies make a good quality replacement window, but frequently they’re not ones people usually buy.” Lead-contaminated paint is another concern for property owners, says Caitlin Meives, preservation planner with the Landmark Society. Vinyl windows are often promoted as a quick solution, she says, but it’s a bit of a false reassurance. Much of the contaminated paint remains after the replacement window is installed, she says. And the wood window with lead paint is usually dumped and contaminates another site. “We’re asking people to take a step back and take a deep breath, because there are proper abatement options available,” Meives says.

But consumer confusion about vinyl
replacement windows compared to restoration of historic wood windows is understandable. State and federal incentives through tax credits, grants, and low-interest loans seem to send property owners different messages. Tax credits and other incentives are offered to property owners who replace old windows with energy-saving vinyl windows. There are similar incentives that can be used to restore old wood windows, but it takes a little research to find them. If people fail to take advantage of the incentives, Siegrist says, the government will discontinue the programs, which is why consumer education is important. Owners of large commercial properties
may pose the biggest challenge for the Preservation Board. An older single-family home, depending on its size, may have 30 to 50 windows. But a large apartment building in one of the city’s preservation districts may have 500 or more wood windows, and restoration would require a formidable investment. “I would tell them that they usually have to paint and clean carpets when a tenant moves out,” says consultant Jordan. “That’s a good time to repair the windows in that unit. And it makes the costs much more manageable.” Still, some Preservation Board members are concerned about creating restrictive guidelines, especially during a difficult economy. What difference would it make, one board member asked, if a vinyl window is used in the back of a building facing a parking lot? But Howk says taking shortcuts is not the answer. “Once those wood windows have been removed, they’re probably lost forever,” she says.

JIM SHEPPARD:
‘We’re All in this together’ COVER STORY | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN | PHOTO | BY MIKE HANLON
As far as surface similarities, there are none. For every inch that former Police Chief David Moore is reticent and cerebral, Jim Sheppard is effusive, animated, and as exuberant as a child. He accentuates his stories with sound effects — brakes squealing, a gun firing — and lively hand gestures. And he’s a hugger. For the record, Sheppard says he has no idea what happened with his predecessor. Former Mayor Bob Duffy called him on November 5, Sheppard says, and essentially told him that he was the new police chief. “It wasn’t like, ‘Here, think about this,’” Sheppard says. “It was, ‘This is my decision.’ And I said yes. It’s like somebody asking you to marry him. You don’t say, ‘Well, I’ll let you know next week.’” Without a hint as to why, Duffy announced Moore’s departure on a Friday afternoon, and by Monday, Sheppard was chief. If there’s any resentment over the abrupt transition, Sheppard says he hasn’t heard about it. It probably helps that Sheppard is an old hand. He joined the Rochester Police Department in 1981, eventually rising to deputy chief of operations in 2006. In that 25-year span, he worked in the tactical unit, narcotics, and the Professional Standards Section, and was one of the original 10 lieutenants assigned to the old Neighborhood Empowerment Team offices. Sheppard left the police department in 2008 to become director of safety and security for the Rochester school district. That “side street,” he says, was a tremendous experience in terms of getting a broader view of the community and its problems. He learned, he says, that cooperation between the city, the police department, the City
JANUARY 12-18, 2011
school district, and other involved parties is essential to the city’s welfare and its future. Those familiar with the inner workings of the police department say Sheppard is highly respected and well-liked. He’s seen as someone who isn’t likely to initiate major changes in practice or policy, but will instead focus on solid, day-to-day policing. Sheppard talked about his vision for the Rochester Police Department, his experience in the school district, and the state of the city in a recent interview. The following is an edited version of that conversation: CITY: What’s your vision for the RPD? What changes do you want to make?
Sheppard: In terms of my vision, when I came to the Rochester Police Department — I was told and I embraced it — that it was one of the best police departments in this country. And that’s where I want us to be. I don’t think it’s a matter of us changing what we do as much as it is for us to believe it and to let the community see it and let them believe it. From my time with the school district, one of the things I learned is that if you tell children they’re not going to be anything, guess what? They’re not going to be anything. They hear it, and then they believe it. The same thing goes for this police department. It’s great, but it hasn’t heard it, they don’t believe it, and therefore the community doesn’t believe it. And that’s what I want to change. We have been for 30 years at the forefront of policing in terms of strategies, innovation, creativity, technology. And I want that to be how this community embraces it and how the members embrace it.
How do you get the community to embrace it?
I think the most important thing is the community engagement piece: for us to be totally integrated into the community. Not just from a law enforcement mindset, because that’s our job. But we also have to work on that piece where I relate with the school kid, I relate to Mrs. Johnson — who’s the good person. Not everything is about bad people. Ninetynine percent of the people in the city are law abiding, want to live in peace, want to have comfortable lives. We have to embrace those people. We have to interact with those people. Those are the ones we have to convince, “Hey, this is a great police department.” Part of being a police officer in the City of Rochester is not just going out there in the car, responding to calls, and locking people up. There’s taking time out to go to a school and read to students. Going to some of these community meetings so you know how the good people feel, the frustrations they have. We have to take advantage of opportunities for positive interactions with this community. The biggest transformation for me was when I went to NET. Everything else I did before that was very aggressive policing — tactical unit, narcotics. NET was all interacting with the community. And it was doing things where you didn’t have a ton of resources to bring: you couldn’t call the rest of the police department to come and fix a street. You had to be creative, you had to work with other parts of city government, you had to work with other parts of law enforcement or social services. That’s where you start to see that we’re not going to arrest our way out of these problems.
It’s part of the solution, but it’s not the only solution. It’s really about a number of things being brought to bear to change how this city is. The city is entering a difficult time financially, and we’ve heard that the police department will not be exempt from cutbacks. How do you expect the financial crisis to affect your organization?
I think that over the three years I was gone, the police department benefited from a commitment from the mayor and City Council to enhance public safety. And as a result, the staffing went up significantly. I think as a result of those increases, we saw some significant, positive policing results. But the entire time I was in the police department prior to that “golden era,” we had been tasked with doing more with less. And we have done it. We’re good at it. It’s not that it’s something we choose to do. If you ask police officers, “What do we need?” They’re going to say, “We need more resources. We need more cops.” I would say the same thing now. If you asked me what would help, I would say “give me more cops.” We’ve not had conversations relative to what we’re going to cut. The city really has been cutting everywhere with the exception of the police department, and they made it clear that we cannot spare the police department this time. If you had all the money in the world at your disposal, would you go back to neighborhood precincts?
No. What we had before was seven sections, plus downtown. And since we went to the divisional model, a couple of things have
happened. One, it costs us less money to operate. Our response times have improved. And crime has gone down. I understand that in each individual neighborhood, people like the idea of having “their” police: cops they know. There are benefits to that. If you understand policing history, we have constantly gone back and forth between precincts, centralized, decentralized, precincts, bigger chunks. All around the country, it just happens. And it’s to meet the needs of the communities that we serve. Should we go back to the neighborhood sections? Maybe not. Should we go back to a quad or quad plus downtown? Down the road. If we are going to explore a reorg, the first place we should look is downtown, because I think in terms of the importance of business coming in and the significant increase in residential downtown, I think that’s a key place to get a foothold. When Mayor Duffy introduced Zero Tolerance, it seemed like police were everywhere and stopping almost everybody. He said, “This is the way this city needs to be policed.” Is it?
After a drop in 2009, the homicide rate was back up last year (There were 28 homicides in 2009 and 40 in 2010). How much control does the police department really have over that?
If we’re proactive and aggressive in our policing, one of the benefits is that a person who may choose to walk around with a gun may be hesitant to do that. I think what contributes to our homicides a lot of times is if I have a gun, the potential to use it is greatly increased than if I have to go get one. It’s stuck in my pants and you made me mad and my friends are saying: “Are you going to let him say that to you? Are you going to let him do that to you?” I can [Sheppard makes a popping noise like a gun firing], and it’s done. And I can’t take that bullet back. So if through our policing we can make people think, “I don’t want to have it right on me because they’re going to catch me,” we can have some impact. I think the biggest problem is in terms of how the culture in this city thinks. And I think it’s in the urban culture. It is acceptable to have an ultra-high level of violence for the slightest slight. The other day, two guys were arguing over the meaning of life, and out of that argument, one of them was killed. I remember several years ago, two brothers arguing over chicken wings. Results in a homicide. When I was in the schools, you’d see so many times where kids would get into a fight and we’d separate the parties, you’d do your interviews and find out what happened: “he was looking at me funny.” And that’s totally unacceptable, for that response to be acceptable. Why is it accepted, then?
I think that culturally, it’s that whole respect thing. It’s misplaced. I grew up in an environment where to gain respect, you gave respect. I don’t gain respect by putting fear into you. I don’t get your respect by bullying you. I don’t gain respect because I’m bigger than you or I’m badder than you. You gave respect and that’s how you got it back. I think there is a segment of our community that embraces, “My way of gaining respect is to put fear into you. And fear into anybody who’s around me, so they know that I’m a bad, bad man.” That’s their belief: “That’s how I gain respect.” It isn’t. But it does result in the violence that we see.
and violence [in Rochester] were extreme. I recall in ’92 our homicide rate was probably 65. People forget that, because now when we hit about 40, it’s panic mode. I think through a number of initiatives we’ve been taking more and more guns off the street. Rochester is a violent city, but we’re seeing a decrease in the number of guns and the number of crimes involving guns. It might not be significant, but we’re seeing a decrease. I think that the research as of late shows that the majority of guns recovered in Rochester are taken from the suburbs, either the suburbs of Monroe County or surrounding counties — stolen from gun shops or homeowners. A lot of times it could be, “My father has a bunch of guns and I’m a coke addict. I steal my father’s guns and take them to the city and trade them for drugs.” We also have that occur. Let’s switch gears. How are the red-light cameras working out?
I may be wrong, but I think we have had, like, 1,700 violations. And at the time we last checked, 1,100 tickets had been issued. There was a period where we gave out warnings. I just told one of my peers a couple of days ago: I was on North Street going through the intersection with Clifford and the light was starting to change. In my brain it leaped in: “cameras!” It just boom! Not that I was going to run it. My point is, that’s how we want people to think. We want people to have that in their mind to say, “I don’t want that ticket.”

You know what makes it hard? And I’ll speak just for me solely. When I was with the police department [previously]: “This is my silo. If something bad happened in the schools, that means I can blame you. I can say, ‘The schools need to be safer. They need to get control. It’s not on me. Whew, glad it happened in the school because if it had been 10 minutes later, they’d have been on the corner and it would’ve been my fault.’” We each have our little silos, and we’re happy. What happens in the schools happens in the streets. What happens in the streets goes back to the schools. And we can’t pretend there’s not this super connection between the neighborhoods and the schools, the police department and the school district, the school district and the city. The fact of the matter is, we’re all in this together and that’s the only way we’re going to get out.
Are there more or fewer illegal guns on the streets now then there were five years ago?
PIER 45
I think that Zero Tolerance was a massive undertaking in terms of money and overtime. And we’re not in a position to put that amount of resources out there. In terms of how I envision us policing, it’s not so much a program. But just in core philosophy, we believe in being proactive, being aggressive, and being preventive. Now I also believe that in doing that you have to have a certain level of respect for whoever you are dealing with. That’s what hurts us. If I’m dealing with you, a law-abiding citizen, and I treat you in a certain way, you leave that interaction with a negative feel. There’s no need for you to have that negative feel unless you’re disrupting our neighborhoods, unless you’re engaged in violence. Any other interaction we have with our citizens should be positive. And so it’s walking on that razor blade for us, but that’s what I envision. I talk about it like being Clark Kent: he’s humble, he’s respectful, he’s a professional. But when the need arises, he can be superman. That’s how we’re going to police. We have a whole new police department in terms of the new people coming in, and they have to take on ownership of their PSAs (police service areas), saying: “This is my chunk of land. I’m going to make it safe. I’m going to be proactive, I’m going to be aggressive. I’m going to be preventive so my chunk of land is safe.” It’s not just a matter of running to calls back and forth and when you don’t have any calls, you sort of relax and wait for the next call. To me that’s policing, but it’s not great policing. Great policing to me is that yes, you take your calls for service. And you use your down time to realize that “on
this street we’re having a problem with burglaries, so I’m going to park and write my reports here so I’m highly visible.” Or if I see somebody walking down the street with a TV, I need to stop that person, “Where did that come from?”

Wise decisions The Owl House 75 Marshall St. 360-2920, owlhouserochester.com Tue-Sun 11 a.m.-4 p.m. (lunch) & 5-10:30 p.m. (dinner) [ REVIEW ] BY JAMES LEACH
When is a vegetarian restaurant not a vegetarian restaurant? The fact that it serves meat would be a pretty good clue. It would seem, then, that The Owl House, which occupies the space on Marshall Street that was once home to The Atomic Eggplant, is not a vegetarian restaurant. Among its many vegetarian and vegan offerings you will find pulled pork, grilled steak, and fish — clearly not vegetarian fare. But I’m not sure that that doesn’t make The Owl House a vegetarian restaurant at heart. Chef Brian Van Etten and owners Andrea Parros and Jeff Ching set out to open a restaurant that is, as Van Etten put it, “accessible to every taste out there,” be it vegan, vegetarian, or omnivore. The menu they developed is eminently successful: every plate that comes out of Van Etten’s tiny kitchen offers an attractive array of colors and textures, along with surprisingly rich and complex flavors that meld together to create food that is always more than the sum of its parts.
Take his tacos ($10), for instance. Van Etten starts with spicy shreds of braised pork shoulder (or tilapia or house-smoked tofu) on fresh-made tortillas. He tops the meat with a cool yet spicy salsa verde, guacamole, and chipotle sour cream, and serves it with a generous helping of cabbage, corn, and blackbean slaw with tiny shreds of tarragon in it. My impulse was to transfer the slaw and beans to the tacos, and I’m certain that’s exactly what Van Etten intended. The result was a glorious mess. These are tacos that are best eaten with a knife and fork, and that’s just fine given that each bite offers a uniform set of what the chef describes as “layers of flavor.” It’s delicious, if a bit disconcerting. While you expect uniformity of taste from soups and curries and other similar dishes where the entire dish speaks with one voice, being unable to pick out any individual elements in your taco takes some getting used to. That, in part, is what leads me to say that The Owl House might well be a vegetarian restaurant — and a damn good one at that. In more meat-centered cooking, the protein is often a center-of-the-plate item, something that is featured and supported by the other elements of the dish. The sauce complements the meat, the veg tends to offer bites of balance or a nice green flavor to cut through fat, the starch is there to act as both background and filler. In the great vegetarian cuisines that have been adapted to incorporate
meat, when it shows up at all, it is more of a condiment. Think particularly of Indian food, where every bite of a dish has the same flavors melded into a harmonious whole. Have you ever, say, picked the chicken out of a dish of chicken makhani and said that the meat itself was delicious? Probably not. That’s exactly what happens at The Owl House. The meatiest item on the menu after the
tacos is the Cherub ($9). Generous slices of gorgeously crusted medium-rare steak form the base layer for roasted portobello mushrooms, sweet-salty pickled red onions, baby arugula, and a heavenly gorgonzola mayonnaise on the best baguette I’ve ever tasted. The bread alone, baked for The Owl House by Baker Street Bakery on Park Avenue, is sensational — just crusty enough to be substantial and toothsome, but soft and sweet enough within to be the perfect canvas for just about anything you put on it. Here, it encases another of those amazing layered flavors that Van Etten is so gifted at creating. You might not ever notice more than the texture of the meat, but you’ll definitely appreciate the contribution that it makes to your sandwich. The char on the meat and that tiny bit of blood mix with the peppery bite of arugula and the pungency of gorgonzola in ways that are simply impossible to describe. This is a great lunch choice.
There is one item on the menu, though, that Van Etten describes as his “jam,” the best thing that he makes and the one in which he takes the most pride: his take on the Vietnamese banh-mi sandwich. The Saigon ($8) really is the best thing on a menu full of very good choices. Starting with another one of those great baguettes, Van Etten slathers on a roasted garlicenriched vegan mayonnaise and then layers on slices of tofu that he smokes himself, followed by housemade pickled cucumber and carrot, a caramelized onion marmalade flavored with lime and cilantro, and baby arugula. Van Etten told me that when he and his partners were sampling items for the menu, that this particular dish had struck them all dumb with pleasure. I have no problem believing that. It may be the best sandwich I’ve ever tasted, and I’ll surely be returning for one on a regular basis. Where most of the entrees on Van Etten’s menu reach for, and achieve, something akin to a finished painting, the appetizer menu offers guests an opportunity to assemble a palette of their own. Almost all of his appetizers feature distinct items and tastes that allow you to take a little of this and that and see how things go together. His curried cashews ($2) were so good that my companion and I mourned for several days that we forgot to take the leftovers home with us — salty, spicy, sweet, and buttery all at the same time. Chase a couple of cashews with a bite of housemade pickle ($2) and your mouth will light up like a slot machine. The fries, too, are models of their kind: crispy with a good potato flavor and tossed with a judicious amount of crushed rosemary, black pepper, and kosher salt ($4). Served with a dish of spicy ketchup that Van Etten makes himself (he makes pretty much everything himself ), these may be the reason that you have leftovers to take home at the end of the meal, since you’ll empty the plate and fill up before your entrée ever arrives. Rounded out with a pint of beer from the Owl House’s small but well selected beer list — including a permanent tap for Rochester’s newest brewery, Three Heads — a selection of several of the appetizers on Van Etten’s menu would make a great light supper or a truly indulgent winter-time lunch.

Touring relentlessly since 2007 with the likes of MGMT, Passion Pit, and Les Savy Fav, the Brooklyn group released its debut full length, “Burning Bush Supper Club,” this past November. This disc features dueling fuzzy guitars, deep bass-driven grooves, and an effective vocal style. Aside from writing material that is bold, brash, and at times spine-tingling, the band puts on great live shows. Be ready to bust your best moves. Let me put it this way: when I saw the band last year, even broke at the time, I couldn’t leave without buying the 7” “What a Drag.” Epic. — BY EMILY FAITH

Haiti last year took an incredibly high toll on the island nation. It can be difficult for outsiders to understand the true magnitude of the need and suffering such events create, which is why members of Haiti’s Choir Ti-Zwazo are travelling to America, to share stories and pictures of their experiences during and after the quake, as well as sing songs capturing the spirit and resilience of the Haitian people.

After six years and a couple of not-so-great venues, the Exodus To Jazz series seems to have finally found a home. The Lutheran Church of the Reformation has been the site of the Rochester International Jazz Festival’s Scandinavian series since 2007. Turns out the magnificent, open space is perfect for acoustic jazz when there’s snow on the ground, too. The Tamir Hendelman Trio drew 175 fans to the venue Sunday, January 9 — not bad for a season opener. When a group is led by a pianist, a pew in the balcony is the best seat in the house. And when the pianist is as spectacular as Hendelman, watching can be as thrilling as listening. When he took off on solos on Charlie Parker’s “Anthropology” or Horace Silver’s “The Cape Verdean Blues” it was a great vantage point for watching fingers fly over keys. Hendelman engaged the audience nicely between songs. Introducing Maurice Ravel’s “Le Tombeau de Couperin,” he said, “I feel that I have to show that I’ve earned my degree — I majored in classical composition at Eastman.” He proceeded to put a contemporary rhythmic spin on it. Hendelman played only a few original tunes, all of them personal. “Playground,” written for his daughter and evoking the carefree wonderland of seesaws and sliding
boards, was the hardest swinging tune of the night. In the second set “Babushka,” written for his grandmother, began with shimmering celestial note clusters. A beautiful old-world melody soon emerged, painting a vivid canvas in the manner of a movie theme. Like any great arranger, Hendelman does a lot of un-credited writing; his introduction to “Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams” could be spun off into an exciting tune all its own. He also has an ear for obscurities. Even though Antonio Carlos Jobim is one of my favorite composers, I’d never heard his “Passarim” until I got Hendelman’s “Destinations” album. The song, about the journey of a bird in the Amazon, is even more evocative live, with drummer Tim Horner supplying gorgeous coloration. Also capable of powerhouse solos, Horner was superb throughout. So was bassist Martin Wind, who enlivened tunes like Richard Rodgers’ “It Never Entered My Mind” with both arco and fingered solos. The concert ended with “BQE,” a tune by Makoto Ozone that conjured up a nerve-wracking excursion on the BrooklynQueens Expressway. With solos even more frenetic than usual and Hendelman’s fingers venturing inside the piano, it was a wild ride.

Dariusz Terefenko argues that jazz improvisation doesn’t differ much from some classical music. PHOTO PROVIDED
Crossover artist Dariusz Terefenko Friday, January 14 Student Alumni Union, RIT 8 p.m. | $15-$20 | 475-5210, 475-4121 [ PROFILE ] BY RON NETSKY
With the old-world chops of a classical virtuoso and the avant-garde sensibility of a 21stcentury jazz master, Dariusz Terefenko is an enigma. An enigma who swings and improvises like nobody’s business. Terefenko, assistant professor of jazz studies and contemporary media at the Eastman School of Music, came to Rochester (by way of Canada) from his native Poland. Although he has lived in North America for the past two decades, there’s one part of his past he hasn’t left behind: the music of Polish composer Frédéric Chopin. When he performs at Rochester Institute of Technology this week he will be using Chopin’s music to demonstrate his unusual form of fusion. “Transmogrification,” as Terefenko has titled it, will not be your standard jazz or Chopin program. Take a hint from the title’s definition: “to transform, especially in a surprising or magical manner.” Sitting in his office above Eastman’s new Hatch
Recital Hall, Terefenko recently discussed his journey to Rochester from Slupsk, the mid-sized city in Poland where he was born in 1968. Terefenko’s parents were accountants, his older brother a musician (he’s now a professional accordionist in Poland). He reached his teenage years at a tumultuous time in his country’s history. Under foreign domination by Germany and then the Soviet Union since World War II, Poland was experiencing unrest. In 1981, as Soviet tanks amassed at the border, martial law was declared. 14 City JANUARY 12-18, 2011
“In addition to attending regular school during the day, I attended music school from 4 to 8 p.m.,” says Terefenko. “In 1981, I was 13 years old. I had to get a passport to be outside after 6:30 p.m. Coming back late at night was dangerous; there were police patrols.” Culture was also monitored. Under Soviet domination Western jazz was prohibited. His brother showed him a few things, but his musical life was strictly classical. By the time he was a high-school senior Terefenko was actively promoting democracy. When it finally came, he says, “there was a feeling of euphoria, but they are still recovering. When a new democracy is not done properly there are so many flaws in the process.” In 1989 his father was working for a bank in Canada. Terefenko joined him in Toronto, where he hoped to attend college. (The Berlin Wall fell a week after he left.) Terefenko spoke Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, and some German, but he had to learn English fast. His life changed the following year when a friend took him to hear Oscar Peterson at the Bermuda Onion in downtown Toronto. “I was blown away,” says Terefenko. “He played some Chopin; he started with a mazurka and turned it into a stride thing. He had his trio with him and the coherence and cohesion between players — they didn’t perform from notes, they just started to play and communicate. It was some really amazing music and, of course, Oscar’s technique… I had to struggle to make ends meet at that time but after the first night I went back four straight nights.” Terefenko decided to apply to Humber
College, a Toronto school known for a jazz faculty boasting musicians like Pat LaBarbera. “My initial steps in learning jazz were very humbling because I realized this is very difficult,” says Terefenko. “I was a pretty accomplished classical player, I could play
difficult things on the piano, but I found it’s not the same thing. First you have to make something up that makes sense.” He spent the first year practicing like crazy and immersing himself in recordings by Peterson, Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, Herbie Hancock, and Chick Corea. He transferred to the University of Toronto, which had just started a jazz program. In 1996, he was the program’s first graduate. After playing gigs around Toronto he applied to graduate school. At Manhattan School of Music, Harold Danko, his future colleague at Eastman, was on his audition panel. “I had to make a decision,” says Terefenko. “When I visited New York I was blown away. I came to Rochester in March. There was a huge snowstorm. It was miserable. I was ready to go to Manhattan. I asked my professors. They said if you want to have a good time, go to Manhattan; if you want to learn, go to Eastman. That was excellent advice. There are so many opportunities here.” (Among those opportunities, Terefenko plays ragtime and stride piano with the Smugtown Stompers.) Through the variety of courses available at Eastman, Terefenko found that he could tie his two worlds together. His master’s dissertation on Keith Jarrett did just that. “I basically said that his way of free improvising is very similar to what C.P.E. Bach had written about classical improvisation in 1756. Between jazz and classical music, there are lots of similarities.” He has since written a book on Jarrett’s improvisations. After earning his doctorate at Eastman in 2004,
Terefenko joined the faculty. Since then he has explored his unique vision in his music and his teaching. His wonderful album, “Evidence,” contains playing reminiscent of Jarrett’s style and an improvisation based on Chopin’s “Prelude in E Minor.” He has taught courses dealing with improvising fugues and Baroque suites. “Many intermezzos and impromptus and some fugues are improvised,” says Terefenko. “Some fugues are like stream of consciousness; it’s possible to do this on the spot.” Terefenko moves to the Steinway piano in his office and plays a short melody from which he builds an improvised fugue. He then plays the simple chords of a Chopin piece (not unlike the chords to a jazz tune) to demonstrate the possibilities of romantic improvisation. He acknowledges the differences between jazz and classical music in terms of rhythm, melody and harmony, but he wants his students to also appreciate the similarities. “Mature improvisers are not too concerned about surface details because they have that in their fingers; they can easily execute them,” Terefenko says. “They have to think about how to structure their improvisations. That’s why I prefer playing solo piano. It offers me this free and spontaneous, on-the-spot exploration of these ideas.”

INDIE ROCK | The Red River
You know that old shoebox stuffed with Polaroids, trinkets, and pieces of your personal history that sleeps underneath your bed, or safely stashed in the back of your closet? All the magic within those articles that signify the everyday moments of our lives is the philosophy behind the band, The Red River. Enveloped by warm syncopated rhythms, decorated with hints of piano, horns, synths, and guitar, this 10-piece outfit dazzles the senses. Recently featured on NPR’s “Tiny Desk Concerts” armed only with one guitar, 10 voices, and 20 hands for percussion, the group’s talent was immense even stripped down. Backwords of Brooklyn and Mikaela Davis & Ben Morey, both of Rochester, also play.

METAL | Music as a Weapon 5
Coming off of the band’s recent backstage-confessional documentary on Showtime, Disturbed (pictured) embarks on the biggest and heaviest-hitting tour of its decade-in-theworks concert series. This time it has paired up with Korn and Sevendust to give fans more head-bang for their buck. Fans of Disturbed’s new album “Asylum” will be pleased to hear select cuts from it, as well as a few classic hits. The tour was specifically re-routed this winter to hit smaller-market cities.

Violinist Oleh Krysa is a renowned international performer and a professor at the Eastman School of Music. He performs next week as part of the Faculty Artist Series. PHOTO PROVIDED
Touching the soul Oleh Krysa Wednesday, January 19 Kilbourn Hall, 26 Gibbs St. 8 p.m. | $10 | 274-2100, esm.rochester.edu [ PREVIEW ] BY PALOMA CAPANNA
“The goal is to touch the soul,” says Oleh Krysa, the tone of his voice like the tone of his violin — sweet, gentle, clear. And when the accomplished violinist takes the stage with his 1758 Guadagnini, he makes it sing. Krysa, who is Ukrainian-American, says he was 6 years old when he first picked up the violin. “My mother sang,” says Krysa. “She was always singing Ukrainian songs. Ukrainians love to sing. Any party would end with songs. The human voice was in my blood. The violin is my voice.” Growing up, Krysa lived in Kiev. His early musical training was in piano and violin. He says he was an advanced student at the piano, and when it came time to choose between the two instruments, an argument ensued between his parents. “They flipped a coin,” Krysa says. The violin won out. Krysa’s studies continued at the famed Tchaikovsky Moscow Conservatory. “Now,” says Krysa, “I cannot live without the violin. As Krysa’s talent grew, he played everywhere
he could. But he was unsatisfied with his 18 City january 12-18, 2011
performance opportunities. This was the U.S.S.R. in the 1960’s, a time and place where Krysa recalls that people were not allowed to go where they wanted to go. In those days, he says, many people thought that if they became a musician, they could see the world. The musicians who took part in international competitions could do just that, and so Krysa competed. He won prizes at numerous international violin competitions, including the Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition (Poland, 1962), the International Tchaikovsky Competition (Moscow, 1966), and the Montreal International Violin Competition (Canada, 1969). Krysa was the first Soviet violinist to participate in the Paganini International Violin Concerto Competition, and the first to win first prize, including an opportunity to play on one of Paganini’s own violins. Krysa describes that moment in 1962 as “unforgettable.” To this day Krysa continues to perform and record Paganini’s works. Indeed, the second half of his January 19 program is titled “Dedicated to Paganini.” Krysa’s teaching career began at the Tchaikovsky
Kiev Conservatory in 1967, followed in 1973 by the Gnesins Musical and Pedagogical Institute in Moscow, and in 1974 at the Moscow Conservatory, where he remained until 1988. When Gorbachev came into power in 1988, Krysa had his first opportunity for a concert tour of the United States, and traveled here with his whole family in 1989. “We took
that possibility,” says Krysa, who then made the decision to stay a little longer, find a manager, and a record company. “Here, I could travel and build a career,” says Krysa. Krysa’s fortunes were foretold at his Carnegie Hall debut in 1971. “Doors opened,” he says of the concert, but it was not until he was permitted to leave the Soviet Union to return to Carnegie Hall in 1990 that Krysa was able to take advantage of opportunities and invitations. Among those who sought out Krysa was the Eastman School of Music, an invitation that he accepted in 1993. Krysa’ career has included solo recitals, notably, at Alice Tully Hall, Carnegie Hall, and the Kennedy Center. He has performed throughout Russia and Europe, North America and South America, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. He has performed with leading orchestras and ensembles, including the New York Symphony Orchestra. And he has recorded. Despite his lofty accomplishments, Krysa remains humble. He lists the elements of success as: be professional, be in tune, be stylistically correct, and be ready for a professional life. Sound advice, but where Krysa departs from the simple and the logical is when you emphasize that there are thousands upon thousands of violinists worldwide, yet so few who make it to the very top. “You cannot make a beautiful sound if you don’t have it — a gift,” says Krysa. “The most important part is the beauty of your sound.” He is quick to add that even with the gift, a musician has to work hard to develop one’s self. “Beauty requires perfection of form.” At a concert Krysa gave at Kilbourn Hall last
October, accompanied by pianist (and his wife) Tatiana Tchekina, the program included Karol Szymanowski’s “Myth, The Fountain of Arethusa,” Op. 30, Henryk Wieniawski’s Scherzo-Tarantella, Op. 16, and Modest Mussorgsky’s “Sorochinsky Fair.” Krysa describes the two-part program, titled “Great Violin Showpieces,” as “very demanding.” “Short pieces are like pieces of jewelry,” he says. Krysa’s program next week will present its own technical challenges. Although he notes that after 50-plus years of playing the violin he “knows where the notes are,” the Shostakovich Preludes in particular “combine all the elements at the highest level.” And then Krysa adds, “I saw him many times — and I have a letter from him.” Krysa counts among his friends Myroslav Skoryk and Sydney Hodkinson, and, formerly, Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998). Krysa has more than brushed elbows with these and other noted composers of the 20th Century; several have written violin pieces dedicated to him. That composers would write and dedicate pieces to him clearly makes Krysa proud. “They are writing to present their songs through my soul,” he says.

In 1976, St. Augustine’s and St. Monica’s brought together teens from their parishes and guided them through their first musical revue. After enjoying the show’s success, this group, dubbed the Upstairs Youth Agency, and composer Tony Falzano helped to create a series of 12 musicals from 1977 to 1983, through which hundreds of teens and adults in the community showed off their talents in singing, acting, dancing, directing, producing, designing, and more, creating musical theater that positively impacted the youth in Rochester’s 3rd, 11th, and 19th wards.

ART/LECTURE | Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. Letterpress Events
Last year, a friend and I attended a screening of “Proceed and Be Bold,” the documentary about Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr., self-proclaimed “Humble Negro Printer” who abandoned a lucrative career at age 40 to become a letterpress printer and artist-provocateur with a talent for addressing heavy issues while maintaining some serious levity in his demeanor. We left the screening and talk-back feeling seriously inspired, bubbling over with our own potential as creative forces in the world. Don’t miss Kennedy’s return to Rochester this month; a series of exhibits, screenings of the documentary, and workshops will be offered. Three exhibits of his posters are currently up at the Genesee Center for the Arts (713 Monroe Ave.), the University of Rochester Art & Music Library (Rush Rhees Library, River Campus), and the Frederick Douglass Resource Center (36 King St.), and will continue through January 18. Admission to the Resource Center is $5-$10. Another exhibit of his prints will open at the High Falls Art Gallery (60 Browns Race) on January 13 and continue through January 25. On Friday, January 14, 5-8:30 p.m., “Proceed and Be Bold” will be screened with a talk-back in the Gowen Room of Wilson Commons at the UR River Campus. A community day with the doc screening, talk-back, hands-on workshops, printing demos, and poster sale will take place Monday, January 17, noon, at the Frederick Douglass Resource Center (screening and talkback are 6 p.m.). The Genesee Center will offer a free letterpress workshop with Kennedy on Saturday, January 15, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Call 244-9312 to reserve your spot, and visit geneseearts.org for more information. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

ART | Arena Art Group Virtual Tour
As Rochester Contemporary Art Center’s 20th Members Exhibition comes to a close, another milestone will be celebrated at the gallery (137 East Ave.). The 60th anniversary of the Arena Art Group will be commemorated with “60/20 Virtual Tour: Art in Motion,” a multi-projector visual installation that will provide viewers with a retrospective of six decades of works by the contemporary art group’s members. The group now boasts 50 members, including Betsy Phillips and Dan Neuberger of Image City Photography Gallery, stunning wildlife woodcarver Jason Tennant, and sacred/sexy object sculptor Paul Brandwein. On Thursday, January 13, 6-9 p.m., and Friday, January 14, 610 p.m., you can head over to the East End for a two-evening party celebrating contemporary art in Rochester, and view the installation, in giant slide and digital-projected images, some reaching 10’x12’ in size. On January 14, the group invites visitors to participate in the Rochester Winter White Out, by attending dressed in all white clothing or costumes, including snowmen, angels, or brides.

COMEDY | Jerry Seinfeld
What’s the deal with the first show being sold out? I mean, superstar comedian Jerry Seinfeld’s appearance in Rochester is so in demand that his 7 p.m. act this Friday, January 14, quickly filled up, and Rochester Broadway Theatre League had to add another performance, at 9:30 p.m. “Seinfeld” the TV phenomenon aired its last season in 1998, but many circles of friends (including mine) will never retire reminiscing about the various enterprises and fiascos of the four frenemies. Seinfeld the man has since returned to the road, to his old love of stand-up comedy. So what does Jerry have to say these days? What provokes that iconic, prolonged eye-roll, the sarcasm, the heavy sighs? Find out on this week at the Auditorium Theatre (885 East Main St.). Tickets cost $47.50$77.50, and very few tickets remain, so get them quickly by calling 800-745-3000, online at rbtl.org, or at the Auditorium Theatre Box Office. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY [ Saturday, January 15 ] GVHC Northampton Park Hike.

what I can only refer to as greeting-card humor. It’s broad; it’s unchallenging. For the most part, it lacks any of the sharpness associated with Second City and its alums like Tina Fey, Bill Murray, Amy Sedaris, or Steve Carell. Consider the evening’s biggest missed
[ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK
In the clumsily delivered prologue before the opening-night performance of “I’ll Be Geneseeing You” — the original send-up of Rochester overseen by the legendary Second City comedy troupe — it was explained that Second City has created more than a dozen similar productions in other cities. In October this show’s writers, Ed Furman and Jean Villepique, spent four days in Rochester learning about the city they were tasked with satirizing. That’s not a lot of time to get to know a place, and it explains why so much of the Rochester material in “I’ll Be Geneseeing You” feels obvious, superficial, and sometimes out of touch. The show as a whole is often funny, and certainly a crowd pleaser. But it’s about as local as an Applebee’s franchise, and doesn’t do much to bolster the reputation of the Second City organization. When you think of Rochester, some people, places, and things spring immediately to mind — George Eastman, our many festivals, garbage plates, Wegmans, Susan B. Anthony, the crappy weather, etc. All of those are at least mentioned in “Geneseeing,” which employs a mix of sketch comedy, musical numbers, and a few audienceinteractive improv segments. Those things should be included: it wouldn’t Rochester without them. But just because they’re no-brainers doesn’t mean they should be approached with a minimum of creativity, and unfortunately most of the “local” content in the show comes off as 22 City january 12-18, 2011
opportunity, the “Duffy-nator” skit. When the actors mentioned that they had a new doublespeak device named after Bob Duffy, the crowd howled in anticipation of some good, old-fashioned roasting. Instead we got two unfunny lines about the former mayor, and then segued into banal pleasantries that had nothing to do with Rochester. I got the feeling that a good chunk of the skits were plug and play: they would work in any city by simply specializing a line or two. The writers’ lack of a Rochester connection also led to some baffling inclusions. A whole segment is devoted to all of the charity balls Rochesterians throw. Is that a thing? Do we have more than other cities? I find that hard to believe. A bit featuring former gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino may have been timely back in October, but A) Paladino is a Buffalo gadfly and B) by December he was a distant memory in this town. The Rent is Too Damn High guy would have been more topical (or better yet, the election skit could have been yanked altogether). And I know Rochesterians have embraced Dinosaur Bar-B-Que as their own, but as a 315-er it’s my duty to point out that the restaurant actually originated in Syracuse. Given the largely uninspiring Rochester
bits, it’s no surprise that the best parts of the evening lack any local connection. The uproarious sketch with three misanthropic toll-booth operators featured cutting comedy
and a simple but well executed concept. Same with the bit about a mother who surreptitiously hijacks her son’s Facebook chat session, or the father rebuking his teenage son for underage drinking, or the couples’ game night. None of it reinvents the comedy wheel, but it’s funny and engaging, lively, and well performed by the six actors on stage. The cast is made up of three men and three women, who range from competent to extremely talented. The standouts include Michael Lehrer, the chameleon whose over-the-top Genny Cream Ale salesman was one of the night’s funniest local bits, and local actress Beth Winslow. Winslow is one-half of the local improv troupe The ManShee Chronicles and a founding member of Unleashed! Improv, and she more than holds her own among the Second City cast. Both she and Lehrer displayed quick wits and terrific range throughout the evening, and routinely stole whatever scenes they appeared in. Winslow’s success in the show highlights perhaps its most frustrating facet: if you want to do a comedy show pillorying Rochester, why are you going to outsiders who barely know the city instead of using some of our homegrown talent? It’s essentially comedic carpetbagging. As Winslow proves, Rochester is teeming with amazing comedians. We have at least half a dozen improv-comedy troupes (Broken Couch, Nuts and Bolts, EstroFest, Village Idiots, Geva Comedy Improv, the previously mentioned ManShee and Unleashed!, etc.), all of them stacked with very funny men and women who actually know this town and would probably scratch at more than the surface. God knows that Rochester has lots to make fun of, and I think local audiences can take something with more bite than a ditty about how garbage plates make you fat.

RECREATION | Mendon Ponds Winterfest

Only four-ish more months to go before winter ends — so you’d better come up for air. This weekend, a family-friendly outdoor activity has just the remedy, and promises not only the wideopen sprawl of Mendon Ponds, but also many diverting activities to keep you and the kids smiling through the chilly air. On Sunday, January 16, 11 a.m.-4 p.m., Monroe County Parks Department and The Friends of Mendon Ponds Park offer the 16th Annual Winterfest at Mendon Ponds Park (enter through Clover Street or Pittsford-Mendon Center Road). Activities include clowns, face painting, and horse and wagon rides overlooking Hundred Acre Pond, free cross-country ski lessons and tours, snowshoeing, crafts, demos, and sled-dog races.

Back in the country again [ REVIEW ] by George Grella
“Country Strong” (PG-13), written and directed by Shana Feste Now playing
After the Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, and Johnny Cash biopics; after such fictional works as “Payday,” “Tender Mercies,” and last year’s “Crazy Heart”; the new movie “Country Strong” seems rather like a compendium of all those previous films that have strummed and sobbed their way into the American heart. It follows a number of well-traveled roads, which often intersect and diverge, in its story of a successful singer whose
career disintegrates under public and personal pressures, assisted by drink and drugs. Gwyneth Paltrow plays Kelly Canter, a country star who begins the movie checking out of rehab too early at the insistence of her husband/manager, James (Tim McGraw), and against the wishes of her sponsor, Beau Hutton (Garrett Hedlund), himself an aspiring singersongwriter. As the movie reveals later, Kelly has suffered a breakdown connected with a miscarriage and a drunken fall from the stage — the script never entirely clarifies the order or causality of these events. Kelly persuades her husband to bring Beau and his band along as an opening act for her redemptive return to the stage — she and Beau have been making more than music together during her stay at the clinic. While Beau tries to advance his career and keep Kelly sober, he also ends up in bed with another aspirant to fame, James’ protegé Chiles Stanton (Leighton Meester); a subplot involving Chiles supplanting Kelly as singer and lover of James, a possibility that should

open up all sorts of complications, never moves beyond a few desultory hints. The picture progresses in a predictable manner, showing the bus tour across Texas, from Houston to Austin to Dallas, where Kelly revisits the scene of her disastrous and highly publicized breakdown. Along the way, it showcases the musical performances of Kelly, Beau, and Chiles, singing the usual songs about faithlessness and betrayal, broken hearts, and the essential goodness of rural folk, with some occasional blather about patriotism and faith. Their large audiences express thorough delight with the music and the singers, while the media snipe at Kelly with cruel mentions of her alcoholism and public breakdowns, one of which occurs at the debut of the tour. The publicity surrounding the “Country Strong” makes much of the fact that the principals, especially Gwyneth Paltrow, all do their own singing, which unfortunately fails to improve the quality of the movie. The loud soundtrack music and the chanting and cheering of the huge crowds often overwhelm her thin, reedy voice, so that she must at times shout the lyrics while her audiences shout along with her. (Ironically, Tim McGraw, one of the most famous stars in the country-music field, never sings a note in the entire film). Shana Feste, who wrote and directed “Country Strong,” for the most part seems unsure of the meaning and direction of the movie’s subjects,

themes, and characters. The two overlapping triangles involving James, Beau, Kelly, and James, Beau, and Chiles never evolve beyond a few superficial moments, and the possibility of an “All About Eve” situation in the threat Chiles presents to Kelly’s stardom similarly never gets off the ground for that famous bumpy ride. Near the end, Beau brings up some questions of artistic integrity, accusing Chiles of singing “country pop” (whatever that is) instead of pure country (whatever that is); again, that issue simply pops up with no previous preparation, explanation, or meaning. The actors all play such tired characters employing such equally tired material that they probably should be forgiven their bland and boring performances, which nicely match their singing. The vulnerable, addicted, fading star; the manipulative manager; the wide-eyed newcomer; the committed artist overflowing with integrity: we’ve met them all before, in better places than “Country Strong.” Beyond the glitter and glamour of the large arenas where the concerts take place, the picture’s best visual scenes occur in some sleazy bars where a couple of characters soak up the booze and some honky-tonks where Beau plays and sings. Predictably, the rest of “Country Strong” features the familiar iconography of Hollywood Rural: more cowboy hats than a John Wayne Western and more pick-up trucks than a collision on an Alabama highway, which, true or not, once again repeats all the dreary stereotypes of country music and country-music films.
Recent history is filled with rousing episodes that find proverbial Davids going up against their intimidating corporate Goliaths; not because the little guy is super-keen to get his or her ass handed to them, but because not taking a stand for what’s right simply isn’t an option. Filmmakers obviously love these tales, which, with any luck, end in working-class good triumphing over greedy evil. And we, in turn, enjoy watching everyday people just like us risk everything and unleash a galvanizing power they didn’t even realize they had. I’m thinking about films like 1999’s “The Insider,” 2000’s “Erin Brockovich,” as well as 2005’s “North Country,” and to that you can add the well-meaning but cookie-cutter “Made In Dagenham,” the fictionalized retelling of a watershed event in British labor relations that led to 1970’s Equal Pay Act. “Made In Dagenham” stars Sally Hawkins as Rita McGrady, an ordinary working mother who becomes an unwitting catalyst for change. It’s 1968
The ladies of “Made in Dagenham.” PHOTO COURTESY SONY PICTURES CLASSICS
when we meet Rita, who, along with 186 other women, sews automobile seat covers at the Dagenham assembly plant of Ford Motor Company, Ltd. Their factory conditions are less than luxurious compared to the shiny line on which the men work, but the women cheerfully make do, stripping down to their underthings when the heat turns the place into a literal sweatshop and maneuvering buckets underneath the holes in the leaky roof. But one day union representative Albert (the great Bob Hoskins, in full-on twinkle) comes ‘round with some bad news: management has reclassified the sewing machinists as unskilled labors, meaning they will continue to make less than their male counterparts despite the intricate skill involved in their job. The suits seem prepared when the women vote to protest this inequity with a one-day walkout, but what they didn’t bargain for is Rita, whose simmering frustration over a lifetime of subordination to men reaches a rolling boil during a meeting with the patronizing executives. It’s not long before the Dagenham women are on indefinite strike, hitting the road to take their demands for fair treatment to Ford’s other plants. Of course, without seat covers the male workers are unable do their jobs, and what they collectively viewed as an adorable tantrum by the seamstresses takes on greater weight as they’re forced into an involuntary stoppage themselves. This hits home especially hard for Rita, whose husband (Daniel Mays, “The Bank Job”), also employed by Ford, is increasingly unable to conceal his resentment over the inconvenience caused by his wife’s battle for equality. It’s important to note that even though this labor dispute actually occurred, there never was a Rita
O’Grady; like most of the characters, Rita is a composite invented by screenwriter William Ivory to tell the story. Unfortunately, this allows “Made In Dagenham” to exist in predictable, semi-condescending clichés; besides the possibly perfect Rita, the “girls” consist of the beehived slut, the aspiring model, and the noble shop steward with a troubled home life. And the mostly moustache-twirling men, whose numbers include the all-but-forgotten Rupert Graves (“The Madness of King George”) and Richard Schiff (“The West Wing”), don’t fare much better. Director Nigel Cole is no stranger to tales of female empowerment — he also did 2003’s “Calendar Girls” — but his wanton telegraphing suggests he might be unfamiliar with subtlety. Luckily, though, the cast is able to rise above. The wily Miranda Richardson pops up as Secretary of State Barbara Castle, a steely broad whose right-placeat-the-right-time-ness perhaps enabled the Dagenham workers to be heard when they might otherwise have been ignored. And particularly poignant is Rosamund Pike (she also stole “An Education”) as an executive trophy wife whose years of stifling her own brilliance have rendered her distinctly sympathetic to Rita’s cause. But it should come as no surprise that “Made In Dagenham” is anchored by Hawkins. Robbed of an Oscar nomination for her exhilarating performance in 2008’s “HappyGo-Lucky,” Hawkins infuses a truthful complexity into the inspiring Rita, someone who didn’t realize she had a voice until she spoke up, both at work and at home. In reply to a husband who felt he should be commended for not being a drunken abuser, Rita unwittingly, angrily echoes the basic tenet of her rights fight as well: “That’s as it should be.”
JOHNNY MAD DOG Friday, Jan. 14, 8 p.m.

Spacious Park Avenue Villa 10 Hawthorne Street Park Avenue – such a short and simple name for such an expansive and complex neighborhood in the heart of our city! Within its boundaries you’ll find a diverse selection of housing: affordable studio and onebedroom apartments, modern market-rate condos, large and historic owner-occupied homes on broad, tree-lined, nursing homes. Park Avenue also features a vibrant array of stores, services, and restaurants, and the famous annual Park Avenue festival.
people exiting their vehicles. The first floor contains spacious living and dining rooms with oversized bay windows and ornamental details like picture frame, crown and arched moldings, and leaded glass windows that surround one of the two fireplaces on this floor. The kitchen is handsome and up to date with a wealth of cabinet and counter space. It features a wet bar and a custom-designed pantry with swing out metal shelving. A breakfast nook and a half bath round out the first floor.
A lesser-known section of the neighborhood, to the east of Culver Road, is home to a mixture of student/young professional apartments and family owned houses. The “ABC Streets” - the first letter of each street follows the alphabet as you go east on Park—go from Audubon to Homer. Across Park Avenue from the ABCs are three streets with mature trees and luxurious owner-occupied homes: Douglas Road, East Boulevard, and Hawthorne Street. Two of Rochester’s most famous houses, the Oliver Culver Tavern (moved from Culver Road) and the only Frank Lloyd Wright-designed house east of Buffalo, can be found on East Boulevard. The substantial yet cozy “prairiestyle” villa at 10 Hawthorne Street has many attractions of its own, besides the nice view of the Wright house and gardens (its plot extends to Hawthorne Street).
A beautiful, winding staircase leads to a second floor landing with built-in cabinets and a large laundry chute. Beyond the landing each pair of the four bedrooms share access to one of the two full bathrooms--which means less waiting in the morning. Plus, in a pinch the three half baths (basement, first floor foyer and attic apartment) will come in very handy!
An arched entrance features a cantilevered “porte cochere” along the driveway to shelter
The attic and the basement have fully finished areas for socializing and guest lodging as well as plenty of storage space. A two-car garage reduces time spent scraping windshields. This spacious house is 3,500 square feet, and is listed at $299,900. Agent Beverly McMillon is showing the property every upcoming Sunday afternoon. Contact her for details and showing times at 585-328-9478. by Dan Palmer Dan Palmer is a Landmark Society volunteer and author.
