Winter Guide 2011 Love it or hate it, winter is back. You may have figured that out yourself, given the single-digit temperatures and inches of snow on the ground. But what to do for the next three-plus months of frigid temps and slush-filled streets? That’s where City Newspaper’s Winter Guide comes in. This year’s edition of Winter Guide has ideas to get you outdoors and celebrating the weather, instead of dreading it. If you’re tired of skiing and snowshoeing or skating, consider ice fishing, or sleddog racing, or even snowmobiling for a real thrill.
Or take advantage of the winter’s crystal-clear skies and go stargazing, with a chance to see formations you can’t spy during the summer. Of course, nobody would blame you for wanting to hunker down in your pad for at least part of the season. To pass the time, throw some low-dough parties with your friends. See inside for some alternative ideas, like throwing a clothing swap or a summer-movie marathon. And take the chill out of the air by whipping up some hot drinks on a cold winter’s night.

Gun control and the Wild West
The massacre in Arizona should make every forward-thinking person in America angry. And this anger should give thoughtful people the backbone to tell the NRA that the Wild West show that they sponsor is over. The NRA and its disciples believe that they deserve to own guns at all costs. The costs are very high; people are literally killing us, their fellow Americans, because of their gun obsession. The massacres that happen on a fairly regular basis in our schools, work places, and now at a public gathering of an elected official are almost all committed by a person who is a legal gun owner or by someone who steals or borrows a gun from a relative who is a legal gun owner. That is the problem with guns: no one knows when a legal gun owner is going to go nuts. Why does anybody in America need a gun that can shoot and blow away dozens of people in only 30 seconds? We live in a country where entertainer-public figure Sarah Palin shoots animals for fun to show what a tough woman she is and to prove she is one of the guys. Palin had a map on her web site that had crosshairs on the districts of Representative Gifford and 19 other members of Congress. Palin now says the crosshairs were meant to be taken as crosshairs from a surveying instrument. The people who promote guns at all costs (right-wing radio and television talk-show hosts) seem to be scared that our government will turn on us. If the government turns on us, it’s all over anyhow, for crying out loud. The government has tanks, jets, and flame throwers. I would like to live in a country that isn’t the Wild West anymore — where nobody carried a gun. I would rather be in a crowd
where if somebody had a baseball bat or a knife and went nuts they could only get one or two people before they are tackled. It is time to pass intelligent, sane gun-control laws.
this newspaper has gone along with it in the name of ensuring “stability” in difficult times. Stability in exchange for real democracy? No thanks! DEREK SUTTON
ANDREW DUNNING, ROCHESTER
From our website
On our blogs on the Tucson shootings: I’ve never understood how
those advocating for more gun control cannot comprehend that a determined criminal-psycopath will find a way — gun laws be damned. The only people truly affected (harmed?) by the everimposing hand of big government are those suckers who actually abide by the law. J
A limit on mag capacity will have no effect whatsoever on crime. It’s another feel-good rule. The Tucson tragedy could only have been prevented by aggressive intervention by his family, or preventative restraint by the local authorities. B SARBANE
Ok, so 10-round magazine limit. What if this lunatic had five guns with 10-round magazines? That is 50 bullets. So what now? We the people of America should limit how many guns people can have? LARRS
I am a gun owner and happy to follow my local regulations. I do believe that “guns don’t kill people, people do.” However, many people are clearly unbalanced and possibly even very mentally ill. Those people should not have guns. How is this not obvious? Laws and regulations (made by a government you trust and elect) should be in place to protect us from ourselves. Haven’t we learned that from the state of our financial institutions, our health care systems and our appalling footprint worldwide? DREE
On Bill Johnson’s consideration of running for mayor: Yeah, the
ferry was a fiasco and will be used as ammunition against Johnson. I would rather have a leader who makes mistakes but has integrity and respects democracy. Right now, we have a pack of charlatans and usurpers trying to force a mayor on the city. The Democrat elite and members of the business community have conspired to have this special election. Sadly,
Since our pathetic Democratic leadership (Warren, Morelle, etc.) cares so little about protecting democracy in our city, we the citizens have to make sure that it still counts. I hope that Bill Johnson does run. I will support him and help him and I encourage others to do so also. He is an experienced leader who will not face the steep learning curve that will obviously be an impediment to Richards. Sure, he made mistakes, but none that were not supported by many other politicians. And with Johnson, perhaps we can go back to empowering the residents and neighborhoods of our city, instead of our current status where Morelle and Warren want to steal as much power away from us as possible. INTEGRITY COUNTS
The behind-the-scenes deals make young people like me sad to be a Democrat. We need to bring integrity back to our community and stop selling ourselves for a political position. I would appreciate it if the media would go directly to the people about matters of politics, economic development, crime, and education. I am tired of reading articles that highlight a response from a party leader or City Council member. They are NOT my voice. Most were elected because of backroom deals or no one willing to run against them. They have their own personal agendas that don’t include improving the City of Rochester. SIERRA VAZQUEZ
It’s really sad to see the political Stockholm Syndrome rank-andfile Democrats are suffering from. How can they decry what their party has become yet continue to stay with them? Exactly what values does the Democratic Party operate by that they agree with? The day these folks stop allowing themselves to be taken for granted will be the day Rochester will get on the path to true greatness. DAVE ATIAS (GREEN PARTY)

Words matter: Tucson, violence and the nation’s caustic climate Is there a link between heated political rhetoric and acts of violence? I’ve been wrestling with that question ever since the carnage in Tucson. Some commentators and politicians have been bending over backwards to appear moderate, urging us not to point fingers. And clearly, the person firing the gun caused the deaths and the injuries, not Sarah Palin or the National Rifle Association or the store that sold the gun or the politicians who oppose stricter gun-control laws. Still, the question has nagged at me; political discourse has just become so ugly. There was a time when Republicans and Democrats got along, despite their philosophical differences. And I don’t remember many times in recent history when so many people despised elected officials and expressed their hatred so openly — the Vietnam War period being a prominent exception. During the 2008 presidential campaign, people took guns to rallies and hinted at violence. During the healthcare debate, people were angry, hostile. Someone threw a rock through the window of one of the regional offices of both Gabrielle Giffords and Rochester’s Louise Slaughter. Slaughter and others said there had been threats against them and their family members. Palin’s office says she’s been getting numerous death threats. On talk radio and on the internet, the insults and the hostility flow. Can we really say that this climate contributed nothing to the tragedy in Tucson? Is there no connection? RIT criminal-justice professor John Klofas frequently cautions me about drawing easy conclusions, stressing the importance of research, so I called him with my questions. His answer: Of course there’s a connection. First to the research: There haven’t been a lot
of studies on the impact of rhetoric, Klofas says. The hard research has been on the connection between violent acts and “media violence” — not just entertainment but also news coverage. The findings: violence in the media doesn’t affect most people. It doesn’t affect young people who live in stable, structured homes. But for young people with no support system, there’s “a pretty significant impact,” Klofas says. And people with mental-health problems are a “suggestive population,” he says.
It’s hard to attribute individual behavior like this to a specific cause, Klofas says: “Any individual act is going to be the result of a whole complex of things.” And mentalhealth problems can certainly be a factor. But then we have to ask this: If the Tucson killer was mentally ill, says Klofas, “which way did the behavior from his mental-health problems fall?” What prompted him to fire off those rounds? A study discussed on NPR’s Morning Edition last week raises a similar question for me. People who have committed or threatened violent acts against politicians weren’t motivated by politics, researchers found. They were trying to call attention to themselves. But why did they choose violence to get attention? And there, we come to the issue of societal climate. With Tucson, “you can’t say that if it hadn’t been for Sarah Palin, it wouldn’t have happened,” Klofas says, but you can say that her rhetoric and that of others helped create a climate that contributes to the acts of an unstable person. Klofas agrees that ugly rhetoric and caustic behavior have been increasing. And that, he says, pushes the whole “normal distribution” curve of what we consider acceptable behavior further and further out. The average acceptable behavior gets pushed further out — and the people on the far edges of the curve are pushed further out still. Politicians and commentators continue to
insist that nobody (and nothing) but the shooter is to blame. To think otherwise, they warn, is to politicize the tragedy. And yet: Does it not matter how, as a mother, I spoke to my children when they were small? Would coarse language not affect their behavior? And Klofas adds: It’s particularly disingenuous for politicians to deny the connection, to say that words don’t matter. “Their stock in trade is language and words,” he says. “It’s like John Lennon saying music doesn’t matter.” If words don’t have any effect, why do politicians spend millions on campaign advertising? It isn’t just right-wing politicians and TV personalities who toss out the insults and exaggerations, and who treat people with opposing political views as enemies. You can find examples on the left and the right. And public comments on media
It is not politicizing the tragedy in Tucson to say that the increasing hostility and coarseness in society contributes to violent acts.”

websites are often dominated by insults rather than opinions on issues. Is there more ugly rhetoric from the right than from the left? Is the right’s rhetoric uglier than the left’s? Given that there’s too much from all sides — too much casual expression of hatred, too much anger and too many easy insults abroad in the land, regardless of the subject — I’m not terribly interested in numbers. Raising that issue postpones the analysis and soul-searching on which we all need to embark. It is not politicizing the tragedy in Tucson to say that the increasing hostility and coarseness in society contributes to violent acts. It is not politicizing the tragedy to expect better from ourselves and from our political leaders, and to insist that political leaders start rejecting the coarse behavior of their supporters, loudly. It is not politicizing the tragedy to insist that political leaders correct the ugly lies that some of their supporters spread — “death panels,” “Obama’s not a citizen,” the works. In the Coen Brothers’ version of “True Grit,” I was particularly struck by the scene in which Rooster Cogburn and Mattie come upon a dead man hanging from a tree limb. The view is a jolt to the movie audience — but clearly not to Cogburn. Violence was simply part of the culture. I’m not suggesting that we’re on a path back to those days. But I do think that we’re growing desensitized to the ugly language and easy insults — as Rooster Cogburn was to murder — and that we can become part of the climate ourselves, participating in it, spreading it. I don’t think that’s the kind of culture we want to hand down to our children and grandchildren, and I think we have gone very far down that path. And I think that words matter.

The Healthcare Association of New York State reports that Rochester’s doctor shortage is getting worse. One out of every five local doctors is over the age of 60. Even with the University of Rochester’s medical school, keeping young doctors and recruiting doctors has been a longstanding problem, says Nancy Adams, the Monroe County Medical Society’s executive director.
RTA to protest Brizard
Jean-Claude Brizard, superintendent of the Rochester school district, sent an e-mail to teachers to enlist their support and to build confidence in his reform efforts. The communication follows an impasse in contract negotiations with the teachers union. A vote of no confidence in the superintendent, though mostly symbolic, is also under way. The Rochester Teachers Association is planning to protest prior to Brizard’s “State of the Schools” public presentation on Thursday, January 20, at School of the Arts. Brizard’s presentation begins at 6:30 p.m. The protest begins around 5:30 p.m.

Lej to weigh redistricting proposals
DEVELOPMENT | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Monroe County legislators have submitted competing redistricting commission proposals. Democrat Vinnie Esposito resubmitted a referral to establish an independent eight-person commission to redraw district lines. No current or former elected or party officials, except for retired judges, would serve. County Legislature President Jeff Adair, a Republican, submitted a referral that follows the existing commission structure laid out in the county charter. The five-member committee would consist of himself, Republican Majority Leader Dan Quatro, Democratic Minority Leader Ted O’Brien or his appointee, and the elections commissioners: Republican Peter Quinn and Democrat Tom Ferrarese. A Legislature committee will consider the proposals during its Monday, January 24, meeting.

owner-occupied, market-rate town houses, and a commercial building on the corner of Main Street and Plymouth Avenue. The site is a parking lot and the project, Garwood says, would displace approximately 230 parking spaces. “The important thing to note is that it won’t happen all at once,” he says. “In the quickest scenario, we would lose half the parking spaces so a first phase could be developed in 2011. And the other half in 2012.” In other words, Garwood says, there should be sufficient time for people to find alternate parking. “It’s an important concern,” he says. “But overall we feel that it’s important for us to create a vibrant downtown, and we can’t hold onto all of our surface parking lots.” The next step is for City Council to vote on the sale of the land. Garwood says that should happen this month.

Two large development projects on West Main Street are making significant strides forward. The first is the redevelopment of the former Josh Lofton Alternative Education Center at 242 West Main, which is on the western edge of the city’s Central Business District. City Hall received four proposals for the 52,000-square-foot building, says Bret Garwood, the city’s director of Business and Housing Development, and officials are “looking very closely” at two of them. Both are mixed-use proposals, he says, which usually means some combination of residential and commercial. The Lofton building is vacant. Garwood says an announcement should come soon, but could not be more specific. The second project is a bit closer to realization. The city Planning Commission Monday night unanimously approved a plan to subdivide 116 West Main Street into 27 parcels. The plan is to build 24

Richards still in, Johnson closer What a week. Tom Richards will resign Thursday due to Hatch Act problems, though he says he will still run in a special election for mayor. And if no one comes forward to challenge Richards for the Democratic endorsement, former Mayor Bill Johnson says he’ll take on the task. “I am still hopeful that Democrats will come to their senses regarding the special election and open the process up,” Johnson says. “But I have no indication that they are thinking like that.” Johnson, many Democratic committee members, and others have accused City Council and Democratic Party leaders of subverting democracy to make sure Richards is the next mayor. They want an interim appointment, followed by a primary and general election this year. But Council has verbally committed to a special election, saying it’s the option that provides the most stability for the city. Richards is resigning because of the federal Hatch Act, which regulates political activities of some government employees. Mayors are exempt from the act, but acting mayors may not be. Richards and Council members insist that Richards is officially mayor. But Richards is resigning because the federal body investigating the Hatch Act complaint against Richards may interpret the City Charter differently.
Carlos Carballada, the city’s commissioner of Neighborhood and Business Development, will be sworn in as acting mayor effective tomorrow. Johnson is seeking Bill Johnson file photo endorsements from third parties in case he doesn’t get the Democratic line, and he is putting a fundraising mechanism in place. He says he knows his opponents will use the failure of the fast ferry against him in any election, but it’s a fight he’s ready to take on. “Anyone who wants to say that the fast ferry was a failure, all they have to do is take a drive up to Charlotte, and what they will see is about $100 million in improvements that we made to that area,” he says. “I don’t want to launch a campaign so we can have a discussion about the fast ferry, but if anyone wants to have that discussion, I won’t shirk from it.”

Mt. Hope’s transformation of trauma

Don’t you dare complain to Dominique White about being tired. White is pursuing a career in human services at Monroe Community College, she works with disabled adults at a local agency, and she’s mother to a 2-year-old girl. Calling her life structured doesn’t even begin to describe it. Planning every minute of her day was the kind of organization she had to master quickly, White says, when she became pregnant in high school. White, who says she left an abusive home, has been on her own since she was 16. “Some teen moms I see say they can’t work or go to school because they’ve got a baby,” she says. “I have to say to them, ‘What do you have to be tired from?’” Being a young mother isn’t an excuse, White says, explaining that her daughter’s future is the main reason she’s determined to succeed. Her hard-won stability can be attributed, White says, to a supportive grandmother, White’s boyfriend, and the help she’s received at the Mt. Hope Family Center. “I don’t know where I would be if it wasn’t for this place,” she says. White was referred to Mt. Hope through the University of Rochester Medical Center pediatrics department. Given her history of childhood physical and emotional abuse, White and her daughter, Naomi, qualified for Mt. Hope’s Building Healthy Children program, a preventive services program for young, at-risk mothers. The UR’s Mt. Hope Family Center began as a small preschool in 1979. But during the last 30 years, the organization has evolved into a unique institution that conducts psychological research and offers services based on much of its own findings. City
JANUARY 19-25, 2011
Mt. Hope’s founder, Dante Cicchetti, pioneered and helped define the emerging field of developmental psychopathology. Cicchetti is the editor of “Development and Psychopathology,” a professional journal. The research conducted at Mt. Hope has attracted international recognition. Developmental psychopathology has revealed that a solid understanding of normal development is essential to understand atypical development, and that the converse is also true. Disorders are not viewed as something a person has, but rather as a pattern of adaptations that progress on a path as a person develops. And the right kind of intervention — a mix of intensive child-parent psychotherapy and support services — can alter that progression toward disorders and promote a healthy life. Mt. Hope’s research has focused mostly on child maltreatment, trauma, and maternal depression with developmental psychopathology as a kind of overarching umbrella. What is learned through Mt. Hope’s research findings is often translated into a plan of action. A staff of about 80 professionals treats hundreds of children and parents annually, and the outcomes have been impressive. White and Naomi, for instance, have worked with a counselor on parenting skills to help them forge a positive bond. It is something White says she never developed with her mother. “I don’t talk to my mom,” she says. “She’s like a party mom. That’s all she wants to do. I just talk to my siblings. I tried to have a relationship with her, but it just didn’t work.”
Some of Mt. Hope’s early research looked at
the relationship between mothers like White, who are at risk of mental-health concerns due to their negative childhood experiences, and how that may impact their children, says Sheree Toth, an associate professor of clinical and social psychology at the UR. Toth is also Mt. Hope’s executive director. Her organization has paid particular attention to the relationship between childhood maltreatment and attachment disorders. Opposition, defiance, and indifference toward parents are some of the characteristics of attachment disorders in children. “We know that when you have insecure attachment, that is a major risk factor for problems: depression, externalizing behavior problems, that sort of thing,” Toth says. “We then looked at how you intervene to prevent negative outcomes in those children.” In a number of subsequent studies, Mt. Hope worked with mothers with major depression disorders, infants from abusive and neglectful families, and toddlers from depressive mothers. “We found in all of those studies that there were major improvements in those parentchild relationships,” Toth says. “We went from disorganized-disoriented, a really bizarre form of attachment disorder, to secure attachment.” Mt. Hope has been successful, Toth says,
because there’s a significant difference between the quality of psychotherapy provided by the Family Center and the standard parent counseling typically offered in most community settings. The typical community standard is insufficient, she says, to impact families with a long history of maltreatment.
That means, she says, the purpose of intervention has to be re-examined. “We have a huge problem in the way most [mental health] services are provided,” Toth says. “They’re usually provided after the problem occurs. Let’s say the child has a conduct disorder. He probably developed that disorder somewhere in the early years of life. But nothing happened. No one stepped in to help him.” Critics of developmental psychopathology argue that it doesn’t always make sense to offer treatment so early in the child’s life. Recommending the widespread use of the gold standard for therapeutic intervention during these economic times is often met with skepticism. “They’ll say, ‘Why do you want to put all of this money upfront?” Toth says. The question, she says, astonishes her. Mt. Hope’s research and research from other social scientists around the country, she says, points to prevention as the most economically effective approach. “When you look at the costs associated with child maltreatment, I think you’re looking at spending something like $26 billion annually,” Toth says. “You’re looking at high school dropouts, foster care, chronic unemployment, and incarceration. We have proven we can stem that trajectory. But I know that it’s a paradigm shift, and it’s a struggle to get people to think in these terms.” White and Naomi are clear examples, Toth
says, of how the right intervention can transform lives. Working on that motherchild relationship means that child is less likely to end up with problems of her own later in life, Toth says. White envisions an entirely different life for her daughter than the one she’s had. But she doesn’t believe that would be possible without the personal development she has undergone at Mt. Hope Family Center. “You know what they say about generations, and how it just keeps going?” she says. “No more. I’m breaking the cycle right now. I will not have that kind of life for her.” Her daughter knows, White says, who her mother is. And when White has to leave Naomi to go to work or school, “she knows I will come back for her. She knows that I will never, ever abandon her.” That’s a major milestone in normal development, Toth says, particularly for an at-risk child. “And that’s the value of child-parent psychotherapy, not just to her and her child, but to all of us,” she says.

Looking for answers after Arizona The Arizona shootings that left six people dead and more than a dozen wounded — including Arizona House Representative Gabrielle Giffords — are being dissected and analyzed along several angles. Gun control and political discourse are the two receiving the most attention. But the tragedy begs questions about what motivated the shooter to commit such an extreme act of violence. And there’s also been a fair amount of discussion about whether accused shooter Jared Lee Loughner should have been able to legally purchase and possess a handgun. From either angle, mental health and illness are key considerations. Some gun-control advocates say the tragedy, and others like the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings, illustrates the need for deeper background screenings in some states. And many mental-health practitioners say increased access to mental-health treatment may be critical to prevent similar acts of violence. “I think that the real issue here has to do with treatment,” says John McIntyre, a local psychiatrist and past president of the American Psychiatric Association. There were warning signs in Loughner’s case — lots of them — that were either missed or left unaddressed. But it seems like that’s always the case when these types of tragedies occur. Media reports have focused on Loughner’s suspension from Pima Community College. He was kicked out after a string of reports to college officials concerning his alleged disruptive and alarming behavior in class. Students and teachers said they felt unsafe around him. Loughner also had run-ins with police, though an officer with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department told the New York Times that they were minor and didn’t indicate that Loughner would act out in the way he allegedly did. None of this registered when Loughner purchased the Glock 19 handgun that he allegedly used in the shooting. Arizona essentially abides by the federal minimums: to buy a firearm an adult has to pass a basic federal background check. A potential purchaser can be disqualified by a felony conviction, dishonorable discharge from the military, and other criteria. The mental-health threshold is high: buyers aren’t disqualified unless they’ve been declared mentally incompetent by a court or have been forcibly committed. Neither applied to Loughner. Gun-control activists have long questioned
the effectiveness of federally required instant background checks, particularly when it’s the only factor determining whether or not a person can buy a gun. At a minimum, states

must comply with federal gun restrictions, but they can implement additional regulations, including tougher background checks. Permit systems — New York is one of 12 states to use that approach — are more comprehensive and are an effective way to counter the shortcomings of the FBIoperated federal instant check system, say gun control activists. “You get sort of on-the-ground, direct, current information on the person,” said Jackie Hilly, executive director of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence. The federal database checks records submitted voluntarily by states, but the states often lag in those submissions. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence compiled the number of records submitted by each state and released the figures alongside FBI estimates of the number of records each state ought to have in the system. New York has submitted 154,958 records, but should have provided 370,385 from the start of 1989 through the end of 2008. New York’s permitting process, however, requires an additional background check, which is done by a local law-enforcement agency. The investigations consider information that wouldn’t be included in a federal instant background check, including interviewing references.

In a broader sense, however, the Arizona
shooting highlights flaws in the American mental-health system. Loughner appears to have shown increasingly distorted thinking, which might have been helped with appropriate treatment, McIntyre says. The key here is getting people the services they need when they need them. That means the public must be made aware of mental illness, its symptoms, how treatment works, and the fact that people with mental-health issues do see improvement when they get the right treatment. For many people, family or primary-care physicians are the people most likely to notice if they’re distressed, McIntyre says. Physicians may refer their patients to other services and providers, while families may work with an organization like the National Alliance on Mental Illness to encourage a loved one to get some help. Physicians or family can’t force a person to get help, however, except in certain circumstances. But when people need and seek treatment, they also need to be able to access the services. And that’s where American health care in general, let alone mental-health care, falls short. “The problem is that folks who have significant disturbed thinking can’t get help,” McIntyre says. In many places, mental-health services are underfunded, which impacts the ability to conduct community outreach work or to identify people exhibiting troubling signs. Health insurance can also be a barrier: in this country, more than 46-million people don’t have any. And even having insurance was no guarantee of mental-health coverage until states and Congress passed legislation that requires insurers to treat mental illness the same as they approach other medical coverage. The trick is talking about either approach —
stricter background checks or improving the mental-health system — in a calm, rational manner and doing so without stigmatizing mental illness. People with mental-health conditions risk being unfairly cast as violent after tragedies like the Arizona shooting or the Virginia Tech shooting. But the fact is only a very small number of people with some sort of mental illness are violent. The public needs to guard against giving the impression that mental illness is something to be feared or ashamed of. That’ll only prevent people who need help from seeking it.
Temporary closing

Flock to Webster [ CHOW HOUND ] BY SUSIE HUME
When it comes to ordering out or having food delivered, your options can be fairly limited. If you’re not in the mood for pizza, subs, or Chinese, you’re pretty much out of luck — especially if you live outside the city. That’s exactly how Brandie Rauber and Christina Wasson felt when they moved from downtown to Webster. And when their favorite pizza place, Bassetti’s on South Avenue, suddenly closed, they decided to do something about it. “When we saw that ‘For Rent’ sign, we just decided we would take a look,” says Rauber, who practically grew up in family-owned pizza shops and restaurants, and had long dreamed of opening up a restaurant of her own. “And then things just kind of fell into place.” The couple opened The Chicken Coop in the space the day after Thanksgiving with the goal of providing a delicious new takeout and delivery option to the Webster area. The restaurant serves Rauber’s signaturerecipe fried chicken, along with ribs and mouth-watering homemade side dishes like cornbread, green beans sautéed with tomatoes and bacon, and macaroni and cheese. Rauber makes every piece of fried chicken to order — nothing is pre-made, frozen, or thrown under heat lamps — and her ribs are slowcooked for hours before serving. In addition, Rauber makes her own sauces, including barbeque, boss sauce, and hot sauces. While Rauber is busy in the kitchen, Wasson handles the front end, the books, and the deliveries; Wasson will hand deliver food
anywhere within a four-mile radius of the restaurant. Just know that made-to-order food doesn’t come quick. “Since we bread every piece per order and it takes 20 minutes to fry it and another 10 to 20 to get it to you, you’re probably looking at an hour. But it will be worth the wait,” says Rauber, who notes that customers frequently call after finishing their meals to compliment the chef. In the future Rauber and Wasson plan to offer additional menu options like a healthier, baked chicken and some additional sides. For now, both owners still work full-time — as a foreclosure services coordinator and bartender, respectively — until the restaurant takes off. The Chicken Coop is located at 9 South Avenue in Webster. It is open TuesdayThursday 4:30-9:30 p.m., Friday 4:30-10 p.m., Sat 2-10 p.m., and Sunday 2-9 p.m. Prices range from $5 to $13; family meals are available for $19 to $24. For more information, call 265-1185. Menus are available online through Google Maps.
Second helpings
The second Rochester-area Zebb’s Deluxe Grill and Bar opened in Greece on January 12 (the first is located at 1890 S. Clinton Ave.), making a total of six restaurants for the New York state chain (with locations in Buffalo, Syracuse, and Utica). The 25-year-old chain serves up a variety of old-fashioned food, including more than 10 types of burgers, wings (like the famous Cajun garlic bleu cheese wings or boneless wings), huge appetizers like the Cadillac nachos, and diner favorites
A fire on New Year’s Day has forced the recently opened Compane Brick Oven Bistro to close temporarily. The Fairport restaurant — located at 80 N. Main Street — was opened last August by the Cristofori family, who previously owned Ristorante Grappa, also in Fairport. A message on the restaurant’s website states: “Unfortunately an accident has forced us to temporarily close. Thank you everyone for the kind words of support! It was family, friends, and a great community that made Compane what it was, what it is. We will keep you posted.”
Spot will return in spring
Despite rumors that the East Ave location of Spot Coffee — which closed last October for renovations — has closed permanently, company Vice President John Corrente wants to assure fans of the coffeehouse that it will be returning. The goal is to reopen by spring, possibly as early as the end of March. The renovations will include a new coffee bar and a menu, which will include gourmet pizzas. Additionally, the new space will be subdivided, allowing room for a new tenant. For more information visit spotcoffee.com.
Good grief
After reopening last June under the new ownership of Alexander Ilievski (who previously owned Bay Hots in Webster), Charlie Brown’s at 495 N. Goodman St has seemingly closed again. The restaurant enjoyed many years of success under the ownership of its namesake, Charlie Scanio. In 2007, Scanio sold the restaurant to Bill and Bob Keller so that he could focus on his restaurant Peaches Café in Webster, but in the summer of 2009 Charlie Brown’s closed again due to a dispute between the Kellers and Scanio. Last summer, fans of the popular breakfast eatery rejoiced as Ilievski took the reigns, hoping the restaurant would again enjoy long-lasting success. However, as of earlier this month, the restaurant has been lights out and the phone has been disconnected. Do you have a food or restaurant tip for our Chow Hound?

[ REVIEW ] BY EMILY FAITH
[ AMERICANA ] I’ve got a feeling the title of Amy Speace’s
new album, “The Killer In Me,” is taken from Jim Thompson’s similarly named novel. Thompson embraced the dustbowl desperation of dangerous characters in stripped-to-the-bone language. Speace’s music has that weary heavy-arm strum of Americana coupled with the Jersey girl’s gentle voice. “The Killer In Me” is a cathartic release for the performer who holed up in a cabin in the woods to write after the carnage of a divorce. Speace leaves herself nothing to hide behind. Quit your hiding and dig this gentle chanteuse. — BY FRANK DE BLASE
Heavy Metal Steve’s Birthday Show Saturday, January 22 Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. 9 p.m. | $7 | 454-2966 [ METAL ] For his birthday show this year, Heavy Metal
Steve summons the best of Rochester metal to do his aural bidding. Orodruin is set to administer a heavy and decadent dose of doom metal. If you have a craving for thrash, Infernal Abyss will be on hand to quell your thirst. Malformed’s crushing death metal promises to spare no birthday blood. Crawling out of the Toronto metal underground crypt, Demontage hits the stage as well, channeling all the best blackened metal riffs you can handle. So there shouldn’t be a single aspect of metal that isn’t massaged, mutilated, and charred in honor of Steve’s special day. Happy Birthday, indeed! — BY EMILY FAITH

With so many obscure indie bands from the 1990’s doing reunion tours these days, it only makes sense that we would see the reemergence of some local bands following the same trend. You might assume that a local comeback would consist of a bunch of dudes that have lingered about the local music scene returning to the stage tired, cranky, and playing all the same tunes from years past. But that definitely was not the case with Muler, which debuted its new lineup Saturday night at Abilene. The band has regrouped and returned to playing live with a fresh sound that shows off the musical prowess of the individual band members, and the outfit as a whole. The new sound has developed through the aid of new members Dan Smith on guitar and Joe Tunis on bass. Saturday night offered up a smarter, edgier version of that late 90’s power indie pop. Since the band originally went on hiatus some time ago, guitarist Will Veeder and drummer Sean Leahy started the framework for Hinkley. That group afforded Veeder the songwriting canvas he had been looking for, and he has since worked with other local musicians, releasing several albums and playing around the area.
With all the developments of the intervening years compelling the packed show, singer David Baumgartner basked in the energy, jumping around and cementing the band’s presence without even a hint of pretension. Muler’s new songs still pull at the heartstrings, but do so with more intelligence and grace than the band’s earlier work. All that said, it remains a rock band at heart, complete with fuzzy warm distortion, up-tempo drumming, bouncy playful bass lines, and the occasional expertly sparked feedback. Nod rounded out the bill and kept the groove going into the evening with an equally enjoyable and impressive set. Quirky off-kilter and drone-inspired psych rock enveloped the room with a warm and at times brooding glow. Guitarist and singer Joe Sorriero and company entranced a Who’s Who of the local scene, some old reliables some new recruits, all spellbound. In case you weren’t able to attend this first of many shows featuring the new Muler line-up, visit the band’s website (mulerband. com) to listen to its forthcoming release, “Hope You Found a Home.” The band has been steadily making a new track from the album available each week, and will keep all tracks streaming throughout this week.

CAJUN | Sammy Naquin & the Zydeco Whips
Born and bred in the bayous south of New Orleans, Sammy Naquin began playing music as a youngster, and by age 16 he was gigging on Bourbon Street in The Big Easy. Mentored by the King of Zydeco, Clifton Chenier, and influenced by luminaries like Rockin’ Dopsie Sr., Boozoo Chavis, and Nathan and the Zydeco Cha-Chas, Naquin’s heady Creole musical brew is also spiced with blues, New Orleans jazz and R&B, rock, and even a little country. In addition to sharing the stage and studio with Cajun and zydeco legends, he’s played with artists as diverse as Jimmy Buffett, Smokey Robinson, and Johnny Paycheck. Naquin and his band, the Zydeco Whips, are currently touring behind their latest CD, “Big Dog Little Dog.” Sammy Naquin & the Zydeco Whips plays Saturday, January 22, 8 p.m. at Harmony House, 58 E Main St., Webster. $12-$15. 727-4119. — BY RYAN WHIRTY Earl Pickens & Family.

AMERICANA | Eilen Jewell
The name that keeps coming up in numerous reviews of rising roots-music star Eilen Jewell is Gillian Welch, the Americana singer-songwriter who has become both a model and an inspiration for countless hopefuls like Jewell. But Jewell, born in Boise, Idaho, and based in Boston, is well on her way to staking a claim as an alt-country queen herself. By pulling together the myriad strands of American roots styles — including heavy inspiration from the early years of rock ‘n’ roll — and packaging them with a stark, dark, uncompromising, and unflinching songwriting elegance, Jewell effuses spunk, grit, and experience. Eilen Jewell plays Tuesday and Wednesday, January 25-26, 8:30 p.m. at Abilene Bar & Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way. $15. 232-3230, abilenebarandlounge.com. — BY RYAN WHIRTY Troup Street Jazz Jam Session.

CHIP MUSIC | J Arthur Keenes Band
EMPLOYMENT SECTION
It seems only fitting that an 18-year-old kid wielding the sonic power of Nintendo games gone by pays homage to an entirely new genre of music. Such is the case for The J Arthur Keenes Band, the work of the young Dan McLay of Toronto, Canada. McLay’s style of “chip music” is the manipulation and emulation of the sounds heard in an old Gameboy mixed with guitars injected with melodica and even glockenspiel. With a lyrical style and delivery that is distantly witty and charming, the result is more than just what some call video-game music. It’s a whole new musical experience dialed into nostalgia for technology.

“Half Shuttered, Venice” by Clare Romano; part of the Print Club of Rochester exhibit now at Memorial Art Gallery. PHOTO PROVIDED
Prints charming “Great Impressions: The Print Club of Rochester Turns 80” Through March 31 Lockhart Gallery, Memorial Art Gallery, 500 University Ave. Wed-Sun 11 a.m.-5 p.m.; Tue until 9 p.m. | $4-$10 | 276-8900, mag.rochester.edu [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
The craft of printmaking has traveled a long and winding road, from the oldest Japanese and European woodcuts, to modern techniques that incorporate digital technology into the production of multiple images. A new show at the Memorial Art Gallery reveals a slice of this history of 16 City january 19-25, 2011
innovation, as collected by one of Rochester’s oldest group of artists and art patrons. Founded in 1930, the Print Club of Rochester has included in its membership practitioners of the craft, collectors, and enthusiasts, and holds educational demonstrations and lectures given by visiting artists. Aside from their appreciation of the aesthetics offered by this wide subsection of art, members share in the benefit of receiving one print from each annual edition commissioned by and produced specifically for the club. This exhibit’s sampling of those diverse editions celebrates the club’s 80th anniversary. Printmaking techniques and media vary,
but prints are generally produced using a “matrix,” such as a wood block, linoleum plate, or silkscreen, which is marked upon, and used to transfer imagery onto another
surface, such as paper. Like a painting, a print can take on any genre, hue, subject, et cetera, but is designed to create multiples of the same image. In 1949, the club’s featured print was the intricate wood engraving “Blackberries” by James Dexter Havens, who lived from 1900 to 1960, and was a founding member of The Print Club of Rochester — his design for the club logo remains in use to this day. Havens began working during the final decade of the Arts & Crafts movement, which is evident in the delicate, storybook-illustration style of his rendering. Havens’ picture of juicy minutiae emerges from a small rectangle of impossibly tiny hatch marks, with a delicate border to aid in registering the different color plates. Jewels of dark fruit hanging in heavy clusters from thorny beams and broad leaves fill our view, and two almost-missed mantises crouch reverently on the stalks. Local printmaker, sculptor, painter, and professor Robert E. Marx is represented in the show with the 1978 etching and aquatint, “Anonymous Child,” created during a time when he shared his Hamlin barn-studio with animals. Marx found himself caring for a newborn colt that was rejected by its mother, and used it as the impetus for creating the semi-ominous black-and-white print. In the hatchtexture characteristic of his work, a male voyeur looms at the top, overlooking the lower scene, in which twin profiles of a mother and a child’s head face right, the child’s a pale beacon on the shadowy backdrop of the mother’s turned back. In Charles Wells’ 1986 expert etching “Frederick Douglass,” the iconic man’s young face with soulpiercing eyes is overrun with chains of crawling curved lines, as if his head is encapsulated in a bubble of energy. Not every club-commissioned artist is of this region. Neither does every subject in the show deal in Rochester history or vistas, though it is easy to understand why an art club based in overcast Rochester would fixate upon Clare Romano’s “Half-Shuttered, Venice.” The 1997 color woodcut depicts, in nearly neon tertiary colors, the “warm light of a Venice afternoon from the palazzo home of the famous Spanish designer, Mariano Fortuny,” per the curator’s card. The artist, who taught at Pratt and the New School and co-authored the textbook, “The Complete Printmaker,” created a sunny city scene seen through an ornate
archway, the hues garish against the white hot atmosphere, a sight we seldom see locally. In extreme contrast to the previous woodcut’s rough texture, Jon Goodman’s 1990 photogravure, “The Grotto Sarrazine,” might make you do a double take, the work so closely resembles a grayscale photograph of a rocky, woodsy landscape. Goodman played an important part in the revival of the technique, per the info card, which also informs that the print was created by using a copper plate with light-sensitive gelatin tissue, exposed to a film positive, and then etched. “The Town/The Arriving” is a circa 1982 serigraph diptych by Thomas Seawell, which in its off-registration, bright-hued, dot-matrix style resembles a page from a comic book. The left side features a train emerging head-on toward us from the darkness, with a star-beam of the approaching headlamp glaring, while the right side depicts a cluster of rushing train cars and automobiles. Korean artist Choonwoo Nam’s 2005 lithograph, “Individual Memory,” stretches the styles offered by the medium into a triptych. The first frame reveals an ominous shadow, the middle houses a single figure sitting alone in a ring of chairs, and the third is an up-close blurred face, as if the subject violently shook his head as the photograph was snapped. Professor, artist, and writer Ronald Netsky explains in a provided statement that he is “interested in the way in which human beings signify space by creating monuments or reordering the landscape.” His 1993 lithopencil etching “Rock Garden at Sonnenberg Gardens” reveals that despite our best liontamer attempt at manicuring the chaos of the wild, a breathing presence, a persistent energy remains, peeking from between the lines of tangled vines and unruly grasses tumbling near a stone stairway. Trees at the right tempt the inner wild one deeper into the image. These prints and more line the walls of the tiny exhibition space, revealing the distant and recent history in printmaking. Against one central dividing wall is a display case, offering information on the most current practices in the field: printmaking as installation and social commentary, and contemporary trends and innovation, complete with photos, tools, books, and more. Within, viewers will learn about print operation Satan’s Camaro, the creative love-child of Motley Crue rocker Nikki Sixx and pop icon Tiffany, as well as the enormous woodcuts created by Syracuse University students, which are so large that a steam roller is used as a press.

ART/LECTURE | Graham Nash at Eastman House
If you think the concept of the “Renaissance Man” ended with that titular era, think again; many creative types dedicate their focus and lives to more than one craft, enriching their (and our) understanding of both through connections made between the fields. Graham Nash, of CSN and sometimes Y, as well as The Hollies, is not only a musician, but a masterful photographer, and the curator of the George Eastman House’s current exhibition of rock and roll photographs, “Taking Aim,” which is up through January 23. Nash will return to the Eastman House (900 East Ave.) on Saturday, January 22, to give a talk about his career and the photo exhibition, but he’ll also be honored for his contributions to photography as an artist and innovator, with the title of George Eastman Scholar. The title has been received in the past by Dennis Hopper and Jeff Bridges. Join Nash in the mansion this Saturday at 2 p.m., and learn more about his accomplishments. Tickets to the event are $20 general or $15 for members, and are available at the house, by calling 271-3361, or online at eastmanhouse.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY “Reflections on Simplicity,” work by the Community Darkroom monitors.

EXHIBIT | “All Gussied Up”
Women’s clothing has ever been a touchstone of a culture’s values and aesthetic sensibilities. In celebration of its 150th birthday, the Rochester Historical Society presents us with a new exhibition featuring 15 gorgeous gowns from its collection. The haute couture of “All Gussied Up” will sweep you off your feet and guide you, one dress at a time, through each decade of the past century-and-a-half. Shifting styles, purposes, and aesthetics will be reflected from hoop skirts to flapper sheathes, from bustles to a diaphanous chiffon piece. Visit the Rochester Historical Society Museum and Archive (second floor of the Rundel Library, 115 South Ave.) now through March 31 to catch the show. The museum is open Tuesdays-Thursdays 10 a.m.-3 p.m., and admission is $2-$3.

THEATER/COMEDY | EstroFest
The last run of shows by the ladies of EstroFest arrived after a 5-year break, and grateful audiences devoured the offering. They’re not making us wait another half-decade: this popular cast, including Dresden Engle, Marlena Dater, Andrea Holland, Norma Holland, Allison Roberts, and Freyda Schneider, returns to Nazareth College Arts Center (4245 East Ave) this week for a six-show run of new material, including original live and video sketches. The group’s style is reminiscent of famed comedians Gilda Radner and Carol Burnett, and the vignettes of “Saturday Night Live” and “Mad TV.” The all-new show debuts Friday, January 21, at 7 p.m., with guest star Peter Doyle. Follow-up performances take place on Saturday and Sunday, January 22-23 (with guests Reuben Tapp and Ken Klamm, respectively), Thursday January 27 (with guest Ray Salah), and Saturday January 29 (with guest Dan Hoak), all at 7 p.m., with an additional January 29 show at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 general admission, or $12 to students with ID, and are available at all area Wegmans.

KIDS | Disney on Ice

And it’s all on ice, as if coordinating normal movement in gigantic costumes isn’t difficult enough. “Mickey & Minnie’s Magical Journey” hits Blue Cross Arena (100 Exchange Blvd.) Wednesday, January 19, and stays through Sunday, January 23. During the production, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse will guide viewers through the worlds of four beloved Disney films, visiting characters from “The Little Mermaid,” “The Lion King,” “Lilo & Stitch,” and “Peter Pan.” The show will be performed Wednesday-Friday at 7 p.m., and Saturday-Sunday at 1 & 5 p.m. Tickets are $15-$50, with $10 tickets for kids Wednesday-Friday.

All buzz and no sting [ REVIEW ] by George Grella
“The Green Hornet” (PG-13), directed by Michael Gondry Now playing
Those teenagers who suffered through adolescent angst with Peter Parker and his fortuitous encounter with a radioactive spider might find some instruction and delight in another insectoid superhero, the Green Hornet. The Hornet began life as a radio series (with the wonderful theme music, “The Flight of the Bumblebee”)more than 70 years ago, enjoying a long run in that medium and, later, others — movie serials, a television series, and a comic book. Now he buzzes in
an expensive, feature-length, 3-D action film that explains his origins, shows some of his adventures, and promises sequels. The old radio series played for a long time during an era when many different kinds of dramatic shows — Westerns, thrillers, mysteries, private-eye and police stories, horror tales, etc. — entertained audiences all over the country. Many of them moved on to television and film, succeeding in other media but effectively killing the whole rich form, which featured taut scripts, actors who created characters entirely with their voices, and the ingenuity of soundeffects technicians who supplied creaking doors, gunshots, hoofbeats, and footsteps in the fog, allowing listeners to use their imaginations. Like the radio show, the new film, “The Green Hornet,” features a character who uses a secret identity in a continuing crusade against crime; like so many superheroes, the original worked with a sidekick, his Japanese “houseboy” Kato, who for obvious reasons later became a Filipino. Unlike the show,

however, the movie transforms a perfectly acceptable character who provided a good deal of fun for young listeners into a buffoon, and turns his adventures, the usual requisite blockbuster assortment of overproduced stunts, explosions, shootouts, car chases, into a series of mindless, repetitive jokes. This time around Britt Reid (Seth Rogen), a fabulously wealthy wastrel who inherits his father’s newspaper, decides to make something of himself by fighting crime with the assistance of his late father’s mechanic, Kato (Jay Chou), then puff his exploits in his paper. A genius who turns the millionaire’s fleet of automobiles into lethal vehicles that outrace all the police cars in Los Angeles and outgun anything in a James Bond movie, Kato invents a weapon that fires a green knockout gas for Reid, and demonstrates great competence in the martial arts, singlehandedly defeating dozens of bad guys with his kicks, punches, and slashes. He also possesses the ability to ascend to a higher gear, moving so fast that all his adversaries appear to slow down, making his fights a kind of slow-motion ballet of violence. Instead of anything much in the way of plot, the movie simply repeats its situations over and over, with several quarrels between the Hornet and Kato about who deserves the credit for defeating a series of villains — Kato does all the heavy lifting, while the clumsy boaster flops around ineffectively, then claims victory.
Walking and talking [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO
“The Way Back” (PG-13), directed by Peter Weir Opens Friday
The two also share an interest in Reid’s lovely secretary, Lenore Case (Cameron Diaz), who helps her boss by delving into all the information that can assist in his efforts to fight crime and publicize his triumphs. Christoph Waltz plays Chudnofsky, the criminal mastermind that every superhero needs as an appropriate adversary. Chudnofsky, who controls all the crime in Los Angeles, assumes his own special identity, changing his name to Bloodnofsky and dressing in red to counteract both the Hornet’s activities and favorite color. That nonsense pretty much typifies the script’s laborious efforts at comedy, which mixes oddly with all the frantic violence and copious bloodletting. Although the predictable stunts and pyrotechnics may please the audience, “The Green Hornet” surpasses most films of its kind in relentless and tiresome stupidity. The allegedly funny Seth Rogen grows ever more obnoxious as the movie progresses through its increasing absurdities, repeating the same lines, the same gags, the same actions, essentially its one joke. The filmmakers barely exploit the 3-D effects beyond the relatively rare moments when a car, an object, or a person flies out of the screen. I hope that Christoph Waltz, who performed brilliantly in “Inglourious Basterds,” demanded big bucks for his idiotic role; he deserves it. Finally, despite its length, its effects, its three-dimensional images, “The Green Hornet” provides a good deal less fun than the old radio show.
The tagline on the poster reads “Inspired by real events,” but to approach “The Way Back” as anything other than fiction would probably be a mistake. The film is based on Sławomir Rawicz’s 1956 memoir “The Long Walk,” which detailed the former Polish POW’s daring escape in 1940 from a Siberian labor camp, a journey that took him and his companions an astonishing 4,000 miles on foot to British-occupied India. Rawicz’s account has since been seriously challenged, as have the subsequent claims of others who asserted that Rawicz’s tale was, in fact, their own. Taken on a purely cinematic level, however, “The Way Back” is typically gripping storytelling from Australian filmmaker Peter Weir, even if the narrative does occasionally fall prey to the mawkish clichés often found in sweeping epics about humans making literal decisions of life or death. When we first meet Janusz (Jim Sturgess, “Across the Universe”) after

the dueling Hitler and Stalin invasions of Poland in 1939, he’s being sold out as a Polish spy by a tearful wife who’s clearly been tortured by her Communist jailers. So it’s off to the cold and snowy gulag, where Janusz encounters a crusty assortment of convicts, many of whom are reduced to their basest behavior in trying to endure those notoriously brutal conditions. One inmate in particular, a former actor (the excellent Mark Strong, “Sherlock Holmes”), fans the smoldering embers of Janusz’s nearly unfathomable escape plan, and when the time finally comes to venture out into the remote, dangerous Siberian wilderness, he’s accompanied by a diverse and ragtag crew, each with a back story that will take its time in coming to light, but all sharing the common goal of freedom. And as they embark upon their journey across a landscape that will run the gamut from frigid mountains to lush forests to parched desert, “The Way Back” introduces us to its standard Hollywood-issue escapees, including Ed Harris as a mysterious, cynical American called Mr. Smith and Colin Farrell as Valka, a volatile Russian criminal. (Standing out among the more unfamiliar faces are Romania’s Dragos Bucur from “Police, Adjective” as the wisecracking accountant as well as Sweden’s Gustaf Skarsgård as the Latvian priest.) Along the grueling way the group crosses paths with the persistent Polish orphan Irena (Saoirse Ronan, Oscar nominee for 2007’s “Atonement”), whose initially unwanted presence enables us to become more invested in her fellow travelers as she gets them to open up about what they may be running both to and from. “The Way Back” is Weir’s first feature since 2003’s rousing “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World,”
but the years between have done nothing to harm his ability to spin an intense yarn without sacrificing humanity in the name of action. Weir’s ably aided by his Oscar-winning “Master and Commander” cinematographer Russell Boyd, whose alternately harsh and glorious panoramas (the location filming took place in Bulgaria, India, and Morocco) make Mother Nature a bigger threat to the survival of our heroes than the Communist bounty hunters. The most glaring problem with “The Way Back” is that the film drags at times. It’s basically walking — lots and lots and lots of walking — interrupted by starvation, dehydration, and the occasional bout of philosophizing. (Then punctuated by an ultra-sappy coda.) And, yes, that’s how it would probably go if you were to trek 4,000 miles, but with the veracity of the story called into question, it can’t help but lower the emotional stakes. Fortunately, Weir’s blessed with a cast who knows exactly what they’re doing. Sturgess, ostensibly the star here, is serviceable; he’s not meant to be more than a morally unambiguous Everyman, allowing us to project ourselves into the narrative. (The ever-capable Ronan injects some femininity into things, but it’s hard to shake the dread involved with a pretty teenage girl surrounded by desperate convicts.) Harris doesn’t offer much beyond his usual steely strength, though he does undergo the most startling physical transformation as the oldest escapee reliant upon, then gravely rejecting, Janusz’s oft-mentioned “kindness.” The real star here, though, is Farrell, who’s come a long way from superstar bad boy to generous character actor. As the seemingly unprincipled Valka, he sells it, complete with Russian accent, inky tattoos, and mossy brown teeth, though Weir thankfully stops short of giving him a heart of 24-karat gold.

Captivating Colonial on Culver 2145 Culver Road Devoted owners of old homes will often tell you that one of their favorite things about home ownership is contemplating the histories and mysteries of what came before. Who were the others that stood over dishes at this old farm sink after their family meal? Where is the child that once dragged a finger through wet cement, immortalizing her name in the concrete over the cellar door? Was that door always there? Built in 1925, the colonial revival home at 2145 Culver Road has a wealth of history just waiting to be unraveled. Entrance to the home is through the side door, where built-ins and shoe cupboards have been added over the years, but the original milk box is still intact within, perhaps waiting to be unearthed by an adventurous owner. Up a set of steps and past an arched doorway is the main living area of the home. The spacious living and dining rooms possess all of the lovely features you expect in a historic home—swinging door to the kitchen, hardwood floors, beamed ceiling, natural wood baseboards and window trim, crown molding— plus some unexpected quirks like a built-in wooden chest/bench, an original covered floor outlet, and a vintage doorbell. In the kitchen, cupboards and countertops have recently been updated, but left intact is the built-in spice cabinet and a one-of-a-kind floor of large multi-colored stones laid by a previous owner that was a stonemason.
HOME OF “ARTISTIC” CHARACTER! 3BR, 1.5BA, beautiful city gardens w/pond & fire pit, big storage shed, 2 porches front & back all for $29,900! Pat Kulaga 292-8500 PC66537
An addition to the original footprint of the home provides extra space off the living
room. A skylight in the vaulted ceiling keeps this room open and airy. There’s also a curious and substantial cast iron wood stove built into the corner, just on the other side of the wall from the living room’s wood-stove insert fireplace. Still another fireplace awaits in the basement, adjacent to a newer high efficiency furnace. In this home, you’re sure to stay warm during these cold Rochester winters! On the second floor, the upstairs hall leads to three generously sized bedrooms, a tidy full bath, and a beautiful linen cupboard and drawers. The walk-up attic provides a finished bonus space that could be updated into a charming office or studio. Around back of the property, and also accessible through the addition, is the former garage, which at one time was expanded to accommodate a dentist’s office. This space has potential to be converted to a multi-car garage and workshop. This home has so many stories to tell. Create some new ones of your own! Located in the Homestead Heights neighborhood of our city, this 3,009 square foot dwelling is listed at $89,900. For more information or to schedule a showing, call Christopher Carretta c/o Hunt Real Estate at 585-734-3414 or go to http:// rochestercityliving.com/property/R132132.

Foreclosure rescue scams Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. The foregoing Summons is served upon you by publication pursuant to an order of Honorable Francis A. Affronti, Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, signed on the 7th day of January 2010, at Rochester, New York and to be duly entered in the Monroe County Clerk’s Office, at Rochester, New York.

[ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Two hundred boredom “activists” gathered in London in December at James Ward’s annual banalapalooza conference, “Boring 2010,” to listen to ennui-stricken speakers glorify all things dreary, including a demonstration of milktasting (in wine glasses, describing flavor and smoothness), charts breaking down the characteristics of a man’s sneezes for three years, and a PowerPoint presentation on the color distribution and materials of a man’s necktie collection from one year to the next. Another speaker’s “My Relationship With Bus Routes” seemed well received, also. Observed one attendee, to a Wall Street Journal reporter: “We’re all overstimulated. I think it’s important to stop all that for a while and see what several hours of being bored really feels like.”
The Redneck Chronicles (1) The Key Underwood Memorial Graveyard near Cherokee, Ala., is reserved as hallowed ground for burial of genuine coon dogs, which must be judged authentic before their carcasses can be accepted, according to a December report in The Birmingham News. The Tennessee Valley Coon Hunters Association must attest to the dog’s having had the ability “to tree a raccoon.” (In March, a funeral for one coon dog at Key Underwood drew 200 mourners.) (2) Safety Harbor, Fla., trailer-park neighbors Joe Capes and Ronald Richards fought in December, with
sheriff’s deputies called and Capes arrested for assaulting Richards. The two were arguing over whether the late country singer Conway Twitty was gay.
Ironies — A sculpture on display at Normandale Community College in Bloomington, Minn., was stolen in December. The piece, by artist John Ilg, consisted of wire mesh over a frame, with 316 rolled-up dollar bills stuffed in the mesh. The piece was titled, “Honesty.” (Attitudes have changed in the two years since the piece was first presented, at the Minnesota State Fair, when visitors liked it so much that they added rolled bills to the display.) — Elected officials caught violating the very laws they have sanctimoniously championed are so numerous as to be No Longer Weird, but the alleged behavior of Colorado state Sen. Suzanne Williams following her December car crash seems over-the-top. Though a strong seat belt and childseat advocate, Williams was driving near Amarillo, Texas, with her two unbelted grandchildren when her SUV drifted over the center line and hit another vehicle head-on, killing that driver and ejecting Williams’ 3-year-old grandchild, who survived with injuries. A Texas Department of Public Safety report noted that Williams was seen scooping up the child, returning him to the SUV and belting him in.
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 31 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Love will find you if you get out and socialize or take an active interest in learning more about something that interests you. Focus on doing, not talking, and you will impress someone who has as much energy and pizzazz as you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll dazzle someone with your detail, accuracy and dedication to whatever you do. Offer to assist the person you fancy and you will become closer and more involved and will feel good about who you are, what you do and how you excel.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Play the game of love with a little flair but be straight and honest. The less you embellish, the easier it will be to form a lasting relationship with the person who catches your eye. Being natural is the best way to win someone’s heart. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t resist change. It’s indulging in the new and unfamiliar that will bring you in contact with someone who interests you. Love will bring your emotions to the surface but, before you share your feelings, find out where you stand.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Play the role of the party person and you will attract plenty of attention. The more outgoing and flirtatious you are, the easier it will be to lure someone who can balance your personality and contribute to your life. Opposites will attract you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Put the push on to get out and involved in activities you enjoy. The more socializing you do, the easier it will be to find love. Someone with ambition will grab your attention and reel you in to a world that will be sure to excite you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t hold back if someone comes along that you like. Take any opportunity to make contact. It’s up to you to make the first move and to express what you have to offer and what you are looking for. An unusual twist is likely to unfold. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Relax, have some fun and, most of all, don’t worry about looking for love. As long as you are enjoying what you are doing, you will attract interest that has the potential to turn into a long-term union. Love at first sight is possible.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take it easy or you will frighten someone you are trying to get to know better. Too much, too fast is a recipe for disaster. Play coy and you will be the one pursued. The rush of love is sure to lure you in and satisfy your needs. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You need equality in your life and, if you look past appearance and into the entire package, you will find someone who complements you in every way. Remember, it’s someone you can share with in order to achieve happiness, not a dependent.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be attracted to someone you meet through business or a project you are involved in. Before you jump in with both feet, do a little research. It’s likely you are trying to pursue someone who is not up for grabs. Find out the individual’s availability first. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You won’t find what you are looking for if you choose who you like on looks alone. Get to know the person you are attracted to and you will find that the personality will dictate who is truly beautiful and who is not.
