Talent pool: growth, change for “Thaw” During February and March of 2011, the Regional Gallery Directors’ Forum — a loosely organized group of local gallery leaders — initiated “Thaw,” a series of exhibits held at more than a dozen participating galleries in the Greater Rochester area. The goal was to celebrate the sweet onset of spring, to afford regional gallery directors the opportunity to get out and see their colleagues’ shows, and to bring greater attention to the exhibitions held by some of the smaller or further-from-the-city art venues. Each spot showcased the work of one artist or a group of artists, offering a

vast range — from literal, to emotional, to spiritual — interpretations of the “thaw” theme.

“Thaw” will be taking place again in February and March 2012, and based off of the success of the first go-around, more galleries and institutions are participating. For a list of the shows you can expect this February and March, see the sidebar to this article.

In the meantime, read on to learn about changes to “Thaw,” to the Directors’ Forum itself, and the implications that the still-evolving organization could have on the Greater Rochester visual-arts scene.

In your article about Joni Monroe and the Rochester Regional Community Design Center (“Designs on a Better Rochester,” January 4), Monroe and their recent project, you cite her examples of “good design in action,” and the “not so good.”

And you write that Monroe thinks the Brooks Landing Project in southwest Rochester “looks like someone picked up a piece of Henrietta and set it down in the Brooks AvenueGenesee Street neighborhood.”

Just what is Monroe implying here? As a resident of the great town of Henrietta for over 50 years, I resent her implication and consider it an act of bullying. Henriettans are incensed over her remark and the put-down of the town.

We haven’t had someone write negatively about Henrietta since the 1970’s, and we won’t stand for it!

I think City and Ms. Monroe needs to do some internalizing about what you say and write, because the written word cannot be retracted. We won’t forget her bullying technique and we say to her, “Stay out of our town!”

Seems to me that Klofas has a bent attitude towards Kodak.

No one picks up the phone?

Uhhh, hello! I know they are in Chapter 11, but it isn’t like there is no one there. I drive by this area several times a day, and to characterize the area as “empty” is just plain wrong.

Ask the 3000-plus Kodak workers whether the place is empty.

Ask the 2000-plus Carestream workers if the place is empty.

There are many folks here, and there is indeed crime in that area, too! Klofas projects an interesting perspective of his own on this situation.

Maybe MCC officials want to move to EK because it is, overall, a better deal. MCC has no more of an obligation to help reverse our downtown’s downward trajectory than any other local entity. If they want to move, they should be allowed to move.

A better question: Will Maggie Brooks make a decision based on the needs of our community or the desires or her political ties?

ANDY REED

John Klofas obviously knows many things, but his notion that better security around the Sibley Building would improve safety for students is not convincing (“MCC: Fight or Flight?” February 1). The deeper issue with the crowds that gather there is not only overt criminality. The cursing, mock fighting, loud outbursts, legal panhandling, tough looks are not illegal, and can’t be tamped down by policing. Nor have social interventions been helpful, such as that led by Councilman McFadden last year.

MCC students and faculty have a right not just to feel safe, but to be comfortable in the school surroundings.

Professor Klofas is correct in stating that a “community can start thinking about how we approach this kind of issue,” meaning the perception of crime and specifically, MCC’s relocation to State Street. But perhaps the professor should start with the isolated, suburban, sprawling RIT campus, which has little connection to urban Rochester and its problems.

And the current issue of the RIT student publication The Reporter contains an article about students who leave the “bubble” of the RIT campus to experience city living, but who express concerns about crime.

The Kodak site that MCC is considering is a 10-minute walk from the Four Corners, is easily walkable from a number of economically distressed neighborhoods, and is served by the RTS Number 1 bus along State Street and Lake Avenue. It is actually closer to inner-city neighborhoods than the Sibley Building.

And there is nearby access to I-490 and the Inner Loop for students who drive.

So while the professor offers some admirable perspectives to help resolve urban issues, perhaps he should start with an effort at RIT. They would certainly be welcome tenants in a repurposed Sibley Building.

I respect Dr. Klofas’s lifelong career in criminal justice; however, as an employee at the Damon City Campus, I can say that there are many inaccuracies in his article. Even more frustrating, though, is that City did not do its due diligence in this article. This is an article based on the opinion of one person. Why didn’t City speak to any MCC officials or DCC students?

To paint MCC as disengaged with the community is to truly be in an ivory tower. Didn’t City think to interrogate that viewpoint?

City, I expected better.

TRISTAN MARTIN TOMASELLI

It is up to MCC to educate its students without having to worry about the idiots who decide to go to Liberty Pole and cause trouble. I know of quite a few students who have to go downtown for classes, and they do so with much caution. The school is responsible to its students, not the trouble in the streets.

LYNETTE BESSEY

From the 60’s: MCC is either part of the solution or part of the problem. Their proposed move to Kodak is just another form of redlining — of distancing themselves from potential students who live in and around downtown. Given that our bus hub is downtown, a lot of innercity students will have to bus downtown, then transfer.

urban journal | by mary anna towler

Religion, politics, and women’s health Let me say first that this is not a simple issue. I wish the Republican presidential candidates weren’t pretending that it is.

And let me say, too, that I admire a lot about the Catholic Church. It has been a leader in human rights in many, many areas. Catholics have literally given their lives in service to oppressed people.

But the church continues to have a blind spot when it comes to issues of women’s health and women’s rights.

And that blind spot is playing out right now in the backlash, by the Catholic Church (joined by some evangelical Protestants and by Republican politicians), against the Obama administration’s stand on coverage of contraceptives in health insurance.

The administration is insisting that hospitals, schools, and charities operated by religious institutions must include contraception coverage in health-insurance plans for their employees. To the Catholic Church, preventing pregnancy is morally wrong; therefore, providing insurance that covers pregnancy prevention is morally wrong.

No one is forcing the church to provide contraceptives or to prescribe them. Its health insurance simply must cover their cost. (Is that forcing the church to fund something it believes is morally wrong?

Many of us have funded a war that we believe, quite deeply, to be morally wrong.)

Birth control pills are expensive. And if the church’s policy stands, women employees who can’t afford contraceptives will have to risk bearing children whether they want to or not, whether they can afford to or not, whether they are physically and emotionally able to or not.

Pregnancy can be a wonderful condition. It can also be a dangerous, lifethreatening condition.

Nor are birth-control pills prescribed solely as contraceptives. They have been effective in treating endometriosis and other serious women’s health problems.

A Guttmacher Institute study released in November found that 58 percent of women taking birth-control pills were taking them for non-contraceptive medical needs.

Predictably, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum have seized on this issue. We’re well into an election year, and everything will be politicized for the next nine months. But seriously: is the Republican Party now against not only abortion rights but also against giving women the right to decide whether they will get pregnant?

Are Republicans now against not only abortion rights but also against giving women the right to decide whether they will get pregnant?”

(Surely, surely, the Republican candidates do not believe what they are saying — except Rick Santorum, who would like to let states outlaw contraception.)

All of this, of course, plays right into the conservative attack on that important health-care provider and advocate for women’s health-care rights, Planned Parenthood. And last week, as the firestorm about the contraceptives built, another one broke out: the Komen Foundation’s decision to stop its funding for Planned Parenthood’s breast-cancer screening.

Fortunately, when the Komen Foundation news broke, Planned Parenthood supporters rallied, flooding the agency with funding and sending protests to the Komen Foundation.

And late last week, the Komen Foundation backed down. It will restore the funding.

The Komen drama demonstrated that there’s plenty of support for both women’s health care and Planned Parenthood. But I’m under no illusion that the attacks on both won’t continue. And women’s health will remain an election issue, with Republicans willing to deny basic rights to half the population in order to win conservative money and votes.

In her Wall Street Journal column on Saturday, Peggy Noonan accused President Obama of “affronting the church and blithely threatening its great institutions” and said Catholics will rise up against Obama, defeating him on this issue and, perhaps, in November.

Maybe. Or maybe Obama decided, cynically, that he needed to score points with non-Catholic liberals, and that he wouldn’t get the core Catholic vote anyway.

But maybe he took this stand because it was the right thing to do.

Which it was.

With all due respect, the Catholic Church is not the sole determiner of morality. Women’s health and women’s rights are moral issues, too. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Occupation safe, for now

Occupy Rochester can stay in Washington Square Park, undisturbed, through March 11. City officials are, however, pushing for an end date to the encampment, saying they want the public to be able to use the park. The Occupiers say they aren’t interested in ending their protest and that they have a right to occupy the park.

Fracking panel stalls

The Gannett Albany Bureau reported that the state is reviewing the meeting schedule for a fracking advisory panel.

The panel is supposed to develop a fee structure to bring in state revenue from shale drilling. The panel hasn’t met since December and its two January meetings have been canceled, the article said.

Crow light show starts

A project to disperse a flock of about 20,000 crows got under way in Rochester earlier this week. The city and the US Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services Division are using pyrotechnics, lasers, and

amplified recordings of crow distress calls. The project continues daily from about 5 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. through Friday, February 10.

City school district officials are proposing housing All City High School, an alternative school, at John Marshall High School (pictured) and at Jefferson.

WINTER SALE!

The Rochester school district and the Rochester Teachers Association have proposed opening an alternate high school. “All City High School” would be open year round and students would attend classes 12 hours a day, six days a week.

The new school would be open to all students, but planners envision students falling into four categories: those who are on track to graduate; students at risk of disengagement and who may be missing one to five credits; students at high risk of disengagement or dropping out, and who may be missing up to 10 credits; and students who require emergency intervention.

All City would open in two locations: John Marshall and Jefferson.

One school would be open to 500 students who are on track to graduate in four years. A second location would have 1,200 students who need support. Classes would be limited to a maximum 23 students, and each student would be assigned a counselor or a social worker.

“Every student will have a plan to graduate upon entering through the doors,” says Sandy Jordan, a principal and special assistant to Interim Superintendent Bolgen Vargas.

The new school would be enrollment based and would also serve as an option for students in schools that are being phased out.

All City would rely on support from the business community and area colleges for assistance with vocational instruction and college readiness.

The target date for opening All City is July.

Opening the new school requires approval from the school board.

The board will meet at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 16, to discuss and possibly vote on the plan. The meeting is at Central Office, 131 West Broad Street.

Cost of War In the absence of independent redistricting, the motives behind any district’s configuration are suspect. Many voters assume that the lines are drawn to maximize political advantage, with effective representation taking a back seat.

POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE

If the proposed redistricting plans are approved, residents of Rochester’s 19th Ward will share a senator with residents in suburban Buffalo.

The Senate plan hacks the neighborhood out of Republican Joe Robach’s existing 56th District — a mix of urban and suburban neighborhoods — and puts the 19th Ward into the redrawn 61st District. The 61st would extend through Riga, Chili, and rural Genesee County, and end in Amherst, Erie County: lumping an urban neighborhood with a strong identity with suburban and rural districts that probably have different priorities and needs.

“It doesn’t seem really to be the best way to represent our issues,” says DeWain Feller, president of the 19th Ward Community Association.

The 61st District senator is Republican Michael Ranzenhofer of Amherst.

The proposed Assembly and Senate districts, which were drawn by a Legislature task force, are facing criticism across the state. In the absence of independent redistricting, the motives behind any district’s configuration are suspect.

The proposed plan divides the city into three Senate districts, and the county into six districts. That’s a stark contrast from sample

State Assembly member David Gantt has also said that he may sue over Rochester’s proposed Senate districts.

Medley Centre is paid up, as far as the Town of Irondequoit, Monroe County, and East Irondequoit School District are concerned. | Developer Scott Congel met a February 1 deadline for a $355,901 payment split between the Monroe County Industrial Development Agency, the town, and the school district. That was the amount owed under a 2009 payment in lieu of taxes agreement. Such agreements are used as development incentives. In this case, Congel makes yearly payments — each year the amount increases — instead of paying taxes on Medley’s full value. | Congel has generally been on time with the payments, says Irondequoit Supervisor Mary Joyce D’Aurizio. But he has another obligation coming up. By April 7, Congel has to prove that he’s invested $90 million in the Medley Centre redevelopment project. If he doesn’t, he’ll owe the town a penalty payment. The amount is set by a formula, but the fine would be, at minimum, several hundred thousand dollars. | Last year, Congel pushed off the $90 million investment milestone using two six-month extensions. At the time, county and Irondequoit officials said they had serious concerns about how much the developer had actually invested in Medley Centre’s redevelopment.

PUBLIC SAFETY | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

ShotSpotter: tin ears on the street?

Pop culture has conditioned us to expect miracles from technology: from the cyberpunk-driven PC that brings down the Defense Department’s mainframe to the mild-mannered Mac that is one upgrade short of sentience.

The reality is that technology is always a work in progress, and when you throw humans into the mix, perfection is an elusive goal. That gap between expectation and performance is evident in Rochester’s five-yearold ShotSpotter system.

The Rochester Police Department has 116 ShotSpotter sensors located around the city, positioned where data and analysis have shown the highest volumes of gunfire. The sensors are designed to detect gunfire and immediately relay that information to the city’s 911 center.

An operator verifies that the sound is gunfire and not fireworks or a backfiring car, for example, and then dispatches police.

“It’s about as instantaneous as you’re going to get,” says Mike Wood, RPD’s deputy chief of operations. “That’s one of the advantages of it: for us to be able to detect gunfire immediately.”

The RPD also monitors the ShotSpotter system from its camera room at the Public Safety Building. The system immediately creates an audio file of an incident which can be reviewed by police. From the file, police can learn how many shots were fired, whether multiple guns were used, and other information.

“If you hear “Pop! Pop!” and then, “Boom! Boom!” you don’t have to be an expert sometimes to hear the difference between a .22 and a shotgun,” Wood says.

ShotSpotter can help investigators reconstruct events surrounding a shooting, Wood says.

And ShotSpotter evidence can be used to verify or disprove elements of a suspect’s story, such as how many shots were fired, if another person fired back, and other details.

The RPD has integrated ShotSpotter with the citywide surveillance camera system. The cameras automatically reorient themselves in the direction of a ShotSpotter alert — meaning police could have sound and video of an incident or its aftermath.

It all sounds good so far. But the numbers paint a less rosy picture. Sometimes the alerts turn out to be for sounds other than gunfire, and many times officers respond to a scene only to come away empty handed. According to data provided by the RPD, between 30 percent to 40 percent of all ShotSpotter activations over the last four years were ultimately judged by a 911 operator not to be gunfire. And of the 3,306 ShotSpotter alerts from January to November 2011, crime reports were written in only 50 cases.

“In many cases, officers will respond to find nothing to follow-up on: no one to speak with — victim, witnesses — and no physical evidence,” Wood says. “When there is no additional information, no report is written.”

The 50 crime reports resulted in six arrests, three on firearm-related charges, police say.

The sheriff in Broward County, Florida,

decided last year to dismantle the county’s ShotSpotter system because, he said, it wasn’t cost effective. Officers, he said, were responding to too many false alarms.

“It was great technology,” he said in the Sun Sentinel. “But it just needed some more fine-tuning.”

But Wood says that just because a body doesn’t turn up immediately doesn’t mean a shooting didn’t happen or that the ShotSpotter recording won’t prove useful later. While it could be that the system is not performing as it should due to weather, construction noise, or other factors, he says, it could also mean that witnesses to the shooting are reluctant to talk to police. And the recording could help police piece together a case later on if, for example, a shooting victim turns up at a local hospital, Wood says.

Wood says the system is effective, although the efficacy can be tough to measure.

“I guess it’s how you define it,” he says. “It is a tool for us? Does it help us? Yes. If you ask certain patrol officers, sometimes it might be a bit of a burden because there are calls that — it’s like the repeat burglar alarm that is nothing.”

Technology can be seductive for law enforcement. And even in this era of cashstrapped municipalities, officials are usually reluctant to cut police budgets too steeply.

“This thing will give you information about shots fired,” says one criminal justice expert who asked not to be identified. “How can you say no to that? It’s tough to resist.”

Police and other criminal justice experts say the way ShotSpotter can be useful is to identify trends and “hot spots” for shootings. And that data should trigger other efforts, they say, like increased police patrols and the involvement of groups like Pathways to Peace, a youth violence prevention and intervention group.

ShotSpotter alerts may not immediately lead to arrests, but they may contribute to a body of information that’s helpful: that ultimately saves somebody or produces an arrest.

The mistake, experts say, would be to look at the alerts in isolation, “thinking that a single shot is going to tell you everything you want to know.”

Wood agrees. RPD crime analysts periodically review ShotSpotter data, he says, for possible hot spots of shooting activity. Officers in those areas are then sent out to gather intelligence on what may be happening there, Wood says.

Macarons and bread from the new Village Bakery and Cafe in Pittsford. The bakery purchased the equipment from the much-missed Little Bakery when it closed last year. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

I didn’t see them at first, given that there’s so much to stir the senses upon walking into Pittsford’s new Village Bakery and Café. Yet there they were, nestled demurely in their trays: my beloved macarons. Not to be confused with coconut macaroons, macarons ($1.50 each) are deliciously colorful French cookies typically made from ground almonds, sugar, and egg whites, then sandwiched together with assorted fillings. And a quick glance at Village Bakery’s other showcases suggested an unmistakable Gallic bent, with delicate madeleines (75 cents each) and flaky palmiers ($1.75) sharing space with traditional American bakery staples like half-moon cookies ($1.75), snickerdoodles ($1.50), and a vanilla cake ($4.25 for a small, $18.95 for a large) with honest-to-goodness specks of the vanilla bean peeking through the buttercream.

If you’re looking for the currently ubiquitous cupcake, however, you won’t find it at Village Bakery. “We’re going for a little different flavor profile,” says general manager Marie Nye, whose claim was confirmed the instant a buttery blackberry-sage tea cookie (40 cents apiece) dissolved on my tongue. And vying for attention with pastry chef Meghan Miller’s inspired creations is head baker Isaac Eberlin’s gorgeously rustic European-style bread, such as a pointy torpedo ($3.75) and an organic pain au levain ($4.25), with loaves like cinnamon brioche ($4.50) and other varieties available on weekends.

Village Bakery, incidentally, is where the equipment from the dearly departed Little Bakery landed, and Eberlin also uses that gear

to supply bread to Village Bakery’s high-end sister outfits, Jojo Bistro & Wine Bar and Black & Blue Steak and Crab.

Perhaps you noticed the “and Café” part of the new venue’s name. Village Bakery also serves breakfast until 11 a.m. (11:30 a.m. on Saturdays and 1 p.m. on Sundays), and lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (except Sundays), with the bread naturally playing a starring role in both meals. Chef de cuisine Stephanie Sanger-Miller sources free-range eggs as well as local meats and cheeses to make open-face breakfast sandwiches (try the Alex: whisked egg, goat cheese, arugula, and pesto on ninegrain bread; $8.95), and at lunch offers soups, salads, sandwiches, and tartines like housemade herbed ricotta on a toasted baguette ($6.95).

Yes, there are many gustatory decisions to make, but don’t fret. “You’re going into a bakery,” says Nye. “You’re treating yourself to something.”

Village Bakery and Café is located at 5 State St., Pittsford. It is open MondayFriday 6 a.m.-7 p.m., Saturday 6:30 a.m.-7 p.m., and Sunday 6:30 a.m.-4 p.m. For more information, call 203-1311 or visit villagebakeries.com.

Roam Italy

Just a few doors away from its excellent Ristorante Lucano, the Formoso family has recently opened a store specializing in Italian imports. The Specialty Shoppe stocks oils, pastas (including a protein-rich farro penne), all manner of truffle products, candies, and cured meats, offering a number of the selections as part of some creative gift baskets. And Lucano

It’s one of the more satisfying regional success stories in the past few years. Hedonist Artisan Chocolates owners Jennifer Posey and Zahra Langford took a chance on making and selling handcrafted chocolates from a tucked-away retail space in the South Wedge, and their faith in both the evolving neighborhood and Rochester’s discerning sweet tooth has paid off in a handsome new storefront right on South Avenue. Of course, Hedonist continues to offer its sublime confections, such as caramels, barks, and truffles in innovative flavor combinations like raspberry-wasabi and peanut butter-cayenne. (That dangerous half-off basket of “mistakes” also made the move, thankfully.) But the new space will allow for tastings and classes in the future, as well as an opportunity to watch the Hedonist chocolatiers practice their artful science.

Hedonist Artisan Chocolates is located at 674 South Ave. It is open Monday-Saturday 10 a.m.-6 p.m. For more information, call 461-2815 or visit hedonistchocolates.com.

The Pink Floyd Experience Sunday, February 12 Auditorium Theatre, 885 E. Main St. 7 p.m. | $35-$65 | rbtl.org [ Rock ] When Pink Floyd played its debut gig in 1966,

nobody figured the group would evolve to become one of the most important acts in music history. For good reason, Pink Floyd has inspired countless fans by creating flawless tunes and performances with state-of-the art theatrics, pushing rock and roll out of its comfort zone in ways that were both iconic and transformational. It’s not easy, but San Diego’s The Pink Floyd Experience will present the “Wish You Were Here” album in its entirety, along with hits from “Dark Side of The Moon” and “The Wall.” So if you can’t be with the band you love, love the band you’re with. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

Add some hip, some hop, and songwriting that boasts pop sensibilities with a certain indefinable edge and you get a revolutionary take on reggae. Upstate New York progressive roots-rock group Nevergreen also performs. — BY DAVID YOCKEL JR.

Expanding horizons

Wayne Static

[ REVIEW ] BY WILLIE CLARK

Saturday, February 11 Montage Music Hall, 50 N. Chestnut St. 6 p.m. | $17 | themontagemusichall.com [ METAL ] Wayne Static is best known for fronting

industrial-metal band Static-X, which released its seminal album “Wisconsin Death Trip” back in 1999.

Static has since embarked on a solo career, releasing his debut disc, “Pighammer,” this past October. The project tells the story of “a mad plastic surgeon, with a pig fetish, that likes to convert hot chicks into pigs,” per Static himself. Static is touring on the back of that album.

Baltimore-based band Polkadot Cadaver opens the show.

Valentine’s Day Massacre Saturday, February 11 Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. 9 p.m. | $6 | bugjar.com [ ROCK ] Bug Jar’s Annual Valentine’s Day Massacre

returns this Saturday with an impressive line-up of local rock, punk, prog, and pop. Rochester quintet The Veins, which showcases a metallic, yet melodic take on heavy rock, is the night’s headlining act. But The Emersons, known affectionately as Rochester’s Sweatiest Band, should also be a big draw because of its intoxicating style of aggressive, pile-driving punk. Philo Beddoe, The Grinders, Clockmen, and Yogi Lewis and the News fill out the bill. Whether you come to drown your Hallmark-induced sorrows in booze and boisterous tunes, or you drag your significant other out for a night in Cupid’s shadow, the Bug Jar promises a “rockmantic” experience. — BY DAVID YOCKEL JR.

This weekend I decided to expand my cultural horizons and check out some shows that fall outside the usual music-blog purview. First up, on Friday I took in the Rochester City Ballet’s “Blood Countess” at Nazareth College Arts Center. Although the piece debuted in 2011, this was the first time it was performed with live musical accompaniment by pianist Elinor Freer and the Ying Quartet.

Not to take anything away from the dancers on the stage, but the Ying Quartet really sold “Blood Countess” for me. The musical selections from Shostakovich defined the dark tone and melancholy of the scenes, and aside from a few moments that I thought were slightly jarring, adeptly reflected the vampiric drama that was unfolding on stage. There’s something transformative and captivating about seeing a production with live music versus a recording, and when it’s played this well, it’s truly a treat.

The original plan for Saturday was to soak in the musical comedy of YouTube sensation Bo Burnham at the University of Rochester, but according to his personal Twitter, flight cancellations got in the way.

The show is set to be rescheduled, but I feel better that even Burnham can’t get airlines to run on time.

It’s never too early to start teaching kids about music, or to brainwash them into

playing the tuba, so on Sunday I headed to Hochstein to check out the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra’s orKIDStra series with “Tubby the Tuba.” As a card-carrying tuba player myself, I was looking forward to seeing the instrument take a lead role in the show.

The tuba wasn’t the only instrument that got a chance to shine under the baton of Michael Butterman. The orchestra focused on pieces that highlighted the “unsung heroes” of the orchestral world, including string basses, contra bassoon, saxophone, and the basset clarinet.

But the main star of the show was W. Craig Sutherland, principal tubist with the RPO, who pulled off back to back pieces with the aforementioned “Tubby” and an aria from “The Barber of Seville.” I thought the latter was an interesting choice for a tuba feature, but Sutherland made a convincing case for why it should have been written for the brass instrument in the first place.

The afternoon’s music selections did exactly what they set out to do: show off some of the less-featured players in the RPO. It’s not every day that you get to see select orchestra members spotlighted in such a way, and sure, the whole performance was geared toward children.

But it was still something that any music fan could enjoy, tuba player or not.

She continued her classical training at the University of Illinois, and in her graduate work at the Eastman School of Music. She also spent seven months in Japan studying contemporary Japanese marimba literature.

In preparation for her album, McGuire took

After decades in the business, percussionist Kristen Shiner McGuire is releasing her first album.

Triple threat Kristen Shiner McGuire Friday, February 10 Wilmot Recital Hall, Nazareth College 7:30 p.m. | Free | kristenshinermcguire.com [ PROFILE ] BY RON NETSKY

When you grow up as an only child with two high-profile performing artists for parents, your fate may be sealed. It took a while, but Kristen Shiner McGuire has finally released her debut album, and it’s a satisfying feeling.

“It was one of the most thrilling things in my life,” says McGuire. “It took me over 50 years not just to become the musician that I am and have the taste, but to be calm enough and feel confident enough that I could actually do a project like this. I feel proud and a little more complete in my musical journey.”

The title of her album, “Kristen Sings and Plays and Rings,” alludes to various facets of that musical journey. McGuire, coordinator of percussion studies at Nazareth College, is an accomplished vocalist who excels on drums, marimba, and vibes.

While she sings on most of the album’s tunes, and scat-sings on two, she drums on all of them, with excellent solos on “A Night In Tunisia” and “Lover.” And her mallet prowess is on display in “What Game Shall We Play Today?” and “Night And Day.” McGuire grew up immersed in music. Her

mom was a dancer-choreographer who appeared in Broadway shows like “Bloomer Girl” and worked extensively in movies and television. Her dad, Raymond Shiner, was a “doubler” in pit bands for Broadway shows, including “Cabaret,” “Fiddler on the Roof,” 12 City FEBRUARY 8-14, 2012

and “West Side Story.” A “doubler” plays multiple instruments, and her dad played eight different woodwinds. He was the altosax soloist on the New York Philharmonic with Leonard Bernstein’s recording of “Symphonic Dances from ‘West Side Story.’”

That’s him at the start, playing those famously snaking five notes: ba deeb ba deeb baaa.

That’s why the picture on her album’s inside cover means so much to her. It’s McGuire playing percussion in a production of “West Side Story” at the Auditorium Theatre.

You might even say her father’s career started hers. “Every time he played in a show he’d bring the album home,” says McGuire.

“I would play it forever and ever and learn to sing all the songs.”

But when it came time to choose an instrument in fifth grade, McGuire picked the one thing her dad couldn’t do. “He could not play percussion, so he couldn’t tell me how to do it,” says McGuire. By then her dad had become director of the SUNY Potsdam College Jazz Ensemble and the family had moved upstate.

Her dad is no longer alive, but his influence is

present on McGuire’s album. Growing up, she listened to his favorite band, The Count Basie Orchestra, and drummer Sonny Payne caught her ear. She became a drummer. She heard Basie’s rendition of “Girl Talk” over and over.

The song is on her album. Her dad played Ella Fitzgerald’s scat solo on “Shiny Stockings” so many times, she memorized it. Her take is on the CD. McGuire’s father loved two more songs that McGuire ended up recording: “Little Girl Blue” and “When Sunny Gets Blue.” She first heard the latter when then-student Renee Fleming sang it with the SUNY Potsdam band.

By seventh grade McGuire was studying percussion with a professor at the college.

nothing for granted. She took voice lessons from Derrick Smith, practiced drums, and took jazz vibes lessons.

The idea for the album was germinated at a Christmas party a year ago, when McGuire was sitting around a table with fellow Nazareth faculty member and renowned trumpeter Paul Smoker.

“I said casually to Paul, ‘I’m thinking of making a CD,’” says McGuire. “He said, ‘You should.’ I said, ‘Would you play on it?’ He said yes, and that was it.”

On the album Smoker, who is known for his avant-garde work, earns straight-ahead cred on “When Sunny Gets Blue,” “A Night In Tunisia,” and “Lover.” Also in the band is pianist Paul Hofmann, who contributes several fine solos, bassist Dave Arenius, and pianist David McGuire, who is McGuire’s husband. When she celebrates the CD’s release with a free concert this week at Nazareth, all of the musicians will be there, along with an additional drummer.

“One impetus for the album was, if I separate my vocals and my drumming, each one will get better,” says McGuire, who recorded the group and then recorded her vocals on separate tracks. “When I’m singing and playing drums I don’t breathe well enough, and my fills aren’t interesting because I’m thinking about singing.”

All of the album’s songs have special meaning for McGuire, but one she found particularly intriguing was “Waters Of March,” Antonio Carlos Jobim’s most enigmatic tune.

The lyrics describe a long, seemingly unrelated, parade of objects and actions.

“It sounds like stream of consciousness, so you pull from every aspect, not just your conscious mind, but stuff that’s just floating around in there — literally,” says McGuire.

“Maybe part of it is metaphoric, part of it could be dream images, or he witnessed a murder or watched his house being torn apart by a flood.

Maybe for him those are all parts of his life that he threw into the song without editing a lot.”

Over the years McGuire has written numerous classical percussion pieces for major music publishers. Her works are played all over the world, but her album offered her something different.

“I’ve done tons of projects, but until now I’ve never put anything out with my own stamp on it as a performing artist,” she says.

COUNTRY/FOLK | Cabinet

Pennsylvania-based bluegrass band Cabinet brings its simple and soulful “string theory” to Rochester on Friday in the midst of an extensive East Coast swing. The band’s stripped-down sound is a jarring juxtaposition to its usually cacophonous crowd of followers. The group formed in 2006 and in-so-doing brought together multi-talented musicians from varying backgrounds. Despite the band’s younger members, it has a talent for putting a fresh face on “old-timey” bluegrass. Cabinet’s catalog has serious roots in country and folk history, but the band has its feet firmly planted in the sound of now.

JAZZ | Houston Person Quartet

When it comes to soul-jazz, tenor saxophonist Houston Person has few rivals. He’s been at the top of the genre for five decades. Perhaps best known for his work with singer Etta Jones, Person has set the standard for mellow and melodic playing. Over his long career, he’s been in straight-ahead groups with greats like Cedar Walton and Eddie Harris, but he has also ventured out far enough to record an album with avant-garde pianist Ran Blake. At the Lutheran Church he’ll be joined by pianist John di Martino, bassist Nat Reeves, and drummer Chip White.

A phenomenal drummer, he went on to play with Lionel Hampton, Hank Jones, Carla Bley, and many others. In 2010 he became the leader of the Basie Orchestra.

[ FEATURE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

During February and March of 2011, the Regional Gallery Directors’ Forum — a loosely organized group of local gallery leaders — initiated “Thaw,” a series of exhibits held at more than a dozen participating galleries in the Greater Rochester area. The goal was to celebrate the sweet onset of spring, to afford regional gallery directors the opportunity to get out and see their colleagues’ shows, and to bring greater attention to the exhibitions held by some of the smaller or further-from-the-city art venues. Each spot showcased the work of one artist or a group of artists, offering a vast range — from literal, to emotional, to spiritual — interpretations of the “thaw” theme.

“Thaw” will be taking place again in February and March 2012, and based off of the success of the first go-around, more galleries and institutions are participating.

For a list of the shows you can expect this February and March, see the sidebar to this article. In the meantime, read on to learn about changes to “Thaw,” to the Directors’ Forum itself, and the implications that the still-evolving organization could have on the Greater Rochester visual-arts scene.

“Last Icicle” photo by Carl Crumley, Image City Photography Gallery.

The biggest change for this year’s edition

of “Thaw” is a loosening of the overall theme. Not every gallery represented in the Directors’ Forum participated in “Thaw” 2011, as some spaces plan their exhibits several years in advance. So in an effort to include more galleries in the project, interpreting the idea of “thaw” was not mandatory for inclusion in 2012.

For example, the “Wizard of Oz” exhibit at National Museum of Play is included this year, and is arguably the loosest interpretation of the theme.

The slackening of the theme might seem odd, and leave the shows no different from standard gallery openings over the course of a couple of months.

Consider, though, that “Thaw” serves as more than a collection of shows under a thematic umbrella — it is another way to spread awareness to the public about what local art institutions have to offer.

When Kathrine Page, then-director of the Davison Gallery at Roberts Wesleyan, founded the RGDF in 1997, her vision was “to create a group of people who could gather regularly to network, freely share ideas, offer support, and encourage gallery/museum best practices,” she says.

She initiated “Thaw” in 2011 with the aim of creating “an area-wide collaboration of galleries who would band together

and display art in a variety of media and expressions all based on one, united theme,” she says.

Page hoped “Thaw” would generate awareness of the Rochester art scene and its many talented artists, build community within the RGDF, and that the Rochester community “would realize that we are a stronger and more viable art scene when we work together than when we remain isolated individuals or isolated gallery spaces,” she says.

As a result, Page says that the RGDF saw an increase in membership during and after last year’s “Thaw” events, and there was another recent surge of new members as preparations for this year’s series sped up. Although there are no exact numbers, organizers estimate that roughly 60 individuals are currently participating in the Forum, representing almost as many local spaces.

Another major change for “Thaw” 2012 is in

its leadership. In the summer of 2011, Page left her job at Roberts Wesleyan for a position as gallery manager of The Glass Menagerie Gallery in Corning. To replace her as head of the RGDF, Page chose Cynthia Hawkins, a recent transplant from Pennsylvania who serves as director of galleries at SUNY Geneseo, and has a masters degree in museum studies from Seton Hall.

Works by Adrien Tucker will be presented by Gallery Salon and Spa through February.

18 City FEBRUARY 8-14, 2012

“I felt like I was handing over my child, whom I would no longer be able to take care of,” says Page. “It was difficult, but, unfortunately, I had to do it.”

As director of the Forum, Hawkins is able to offer expertise and insight gained from her background in museum studies to the other organization directors. The public also benefits from the mutual advice and support that participating directors offer one another, in that each venue can offer stronger shows. She says that she benefits from the organization in that the meetings — held at a different art venue each month — as well as the “Thaw” exhibits, draw her away from Geneseo to other areas of the city.

For Hawkins, the meaning of “Thaw” has evolved to not just be about the onset of springtime, but “ideally, about a new beginning,” she says. Each participating venue links up with the regional group to showcase their new offerings. The purpose of the Forum is to encourage best practices in Rochester’s galleries, to increase audiences, and to lean on one another for advice and support.

In looking back, Page lists the challenges of running the RGDF as including getting busy members to accept additional responsibility, and the constant communication and followup necessary to get members to carry out what is requested of them. The

benefits include the educational resources offered by the group, and the “addictive” enthusiasm of others.

“It was fun for me to see other gallery directors soak up ideas and tips from others like a sponge,” says Page. “I think there is a semblance of interest, and I hope a growing interest and in what we are doing: networking, dialogue, and mutual support that was not there before.”

I’ve heard it from a prominent Rochester

artist that trying to organize art folk can be likened to trying to herd cats.

Hawkins echoes the challenges that Page expressed, noting that it can be difficult to delegate responsibilities with a project like “Thaw” since everyone, including herself, is so busy running their spaces, teaching, and continuing to create their

own artwork. She says that the Directors’ Forum may move toward having a committee of directors instead of just a single guiding force, but many members like the informality of the group and a board of directors is not necessarily desired by everyone.

This year, the leadership of the RGDF has already become a bit of a triad, says Hawkins, with essential support coming from Beth Bloom, who runs the Gallery at Equal=Grounds, and Sabra Wood, of Crocus Clay Works. Hawkins says that Bloom and Wood have been integral in helping her follow up with Forum members regarding “Thaw” plans, and

Wood in particular has taken on the bulk of the increasingly important socialmedia work.

“Although the Forum has been an established group, ‘Thaw’ is still a very young show,” says Wood. “I’m very happy that the Forum remained committed to ‘Thaw,’ and that participation is up over last year. I think that there is so much potential for this collaborative event to continue, to evolve, and be a wonderful coming-together of the arts scene in the winter doldrums.”

“We ask that non-First Friday participants have their openings at other times over the two months,” says Wood, who is tied to the city-based Hungerford Building during the monthly gallery nights, hosting shows by local artists at Crocus Clay Works. “This means that I actually get to see some of the shows,”

“babyfaces2” by Don Menges, part of the “Tenors: REDUX by Bracketed Exposures” at the Gallery at Equal=Grounds.

Wood says, and it also means that the First Friday gallery-hopping crowd can still take advantage of openings at venues outside city later in the months.

Hawkins says that she would like to continue the annual “Thaw” series, though it might take another shape or be called something else in the future.

For now, it’s a symbol that people can attach to their spaces in order to unify the organization, but it’s “still evolving,” she says. Hawkins describes the Forum as a great organization that has the potential to illustrate the volume of art in this area, and Rochester as a very engaging, packedwith-artistic-talent, city. In fact, she names it as the best place for the arts that she’s lived since New York City. “The arts will only grow here,” she says.

FESTIVAL | Lakeside Winter Celebration

Snow or shine, the 28th Annual Lakeside Winter Celebration will take place on Sunday, February 12, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Ontario Beach Park (4800 Lake Ave.) and at the Port of Rochester Terminal (located next to Ontario Beach Park). This year’s celebration will feature an assemblage of activities, events, food and drink, and the latest editions of two popular annual contests.

The first contest, which will kick off the celebration, is the annual Polar Plunge. At noon more than 1000 brave souls will dive into the nippy waters of Lake Ontario helping to raise funds for the New York Special Olympics. For more info or to register, visit polarplunge.net or call 586-7400, ext. 105.

The second contest, running from noon until 3 p.m. and located inside of the Port of Rochester Terminal, is the annual Chilly Chili Challenge. Both amateur and professional chefs will battle it out for the title of “Best Chili in Rochester.” Attendees to this event will be able to sample the wares and vote in the people’s choice award.

There’s more to the Winter Celebration than Polar Plunging and eating chili. There are hikes and other recreation opportunities, an ice-wine festival and market, a snowsculpture contest, winter-sports demonstrations, and much more. So don’t let the winter blues (or lack thereof) keep you at home. Admission to the Winter Celebration is free.

LECTURE | Vampire visit

It seems our culture’s fascination with vampires will never vanish. Sure, as far as monsters go, they’re of the sexier set. But I personally don’t get why something that is a literal and metaphoric leech is so damn attractive. Maybe it’s that whole “he’s powerful, but he needs me” thing. It doesn’t matter what I say here, you know you’re going to attend this lecture, and I probably will, too.

On Monday, February 13, you can meet a scholarly vamp who wants to introduce you to the modern vampire community. John Edgar Browning (pictured), author, Arthur A. Schomburg Fellow, and Ph.D. candidate at SUNY Buffalo, will visit Writers and Books (740 University Ave.) to present “Beyond the Reel/Real: Modern Vampire Traditions and Misconceptions.” This talk caps the Beyond Reading: “Dracula” by Bram Stoker series at W&B, which included screenings of the “Twilight” movies and a blood drive (for the Red Cross). The lecture takes place 7-8 p.m. and is free and open to the curious public. For more information, call 4732590 x107, or visit wab.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY “The Aesthetics of Atrocity: Survivor.” Thu 5-8 p.m., SatSun noon-5 p.m. 442-8676, vsw.org.

[ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA

“The Woman in Black” (PG-13), directed by James Watkins Now playing

Although things tended toward the spooky now and then at dear old Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, surely nothing prepared Daniel Radcliffe to face real terror in a remote English village in his new movie. “The Woman in Black” is the second picture from the resurrected Hammer Studios, the legendary company that produced scores of horror flicks from the late 1950’s through the 1970’s, thrilling audiences and influencing a number

of contemporary filmmakers. “The Woman in Black” therefore demands some attention from students of film history, connoisseurs of the genre, and of course the countless fans of Radcliffe’s work in the Harry Potter franchise.

Radcliffe plays Arthur Kipps, a London lawyer who travels to a dreary hamlet in the marshlands of East Anglia to deal with the estate of a woman named Alice Drablow. A young widower whose wife died giving birth to his son, Kipps suffers a deep, persistent melancholy that frequently manifests itself in visions of his dead wife. His condition, coupled with the strange atmosphere of the village, deepens the sense of menace that imbues every scene in the film.

In the village he encounters a pervasive hostility — the innkeeper initially refuses to lodge him, the citizens snarl from their doorways, and the children stare expressionlessly from the windows of their hovels. He persuades one of the locals to take him to Alice Drablow’s home, a hideous Victorian Gothic pile called

Eel Marsh House, which the tides periodically isolate, cutting him off from any contact for hours.

Naturally, at Eel Marsh House he experiences numerous unsettling phenomena: unexplained noises, doors that lock and unlock by themselves, a rocking chair that creaks and moves without an inhabitant, vaguely glimpsed figures in the garden.

As Kipps searches through Alice Drablow’s records, he begins to discover some of the history of the village, the house, and the Drablow family.

The only friendly person in the place, a prosperous landowner named Samuel Daily (Ciaran Hinds), who drives a magnificent Rolls Royce and dwells in a substantial mansion with his lunatic wife (Janet McTeer), provides more information, which contributes little to Arthur’s understanding.

For apparently inexplicable reasons, over the years many of the village children die violent deaths; before the titles, for example, three little girls enjoying a pretend tea party silently stand up and jump out a window together, and Daily himself lost a son many years before, which unhinged his wife. During Arthur’s stay a young girl drinks lye and dies in his arms; another, whom Arthur tries to save, sets herself on fire. Despite local history, the townspeople, for no particular reason beyond the usual ignorant xenophobia, blame Arthur for the tragedies.

The picture relies heavily on an increasingly ominous sense of doom, suggested in the repeated shots of Arthur roaming the dark halls of Eel Marsh House, looking for the cause of

Nowhere but down “Man on a Ledge” (PG-13), directed by Asgar Leth Now playing

the strange sounds he hears, in the vast bleakness of the flooded marshes, in the truculence of the citizens, and in the gloomy squalor of their village. Its frequent moments of shock, signaled by an insistent musical score, grow out of the appearances of a vague, extremely scary figure, the woman in black of the title, sometimes looking over Arthur’s shoulder, sometimes peering out a window, once hanging horribly from a beam.

The movie departs from the great Hammer tradition in the quality of its production values, seldom a strong point with the studio, which specialized in cheap sets, washed-out colors, decidedly functional acting, and occasionally inadvertent humor. “The Woman in Black” exhibits a most meticulous attention to the details of its time, from Samuel Daily’s automobile to the costumes, the impressive exterior shots, and its unprecedented precision in set decoration. It also employs a most un-Hammerlike resolution, ending in a scene that combines shock, tragedy, and heavy sentimentality.

It maintains fidelity to one Hammer tradition, repeating itself, with too many sequences of the puzzled and frightened Arthur, guttering candle in hand, wandering through the creepy corridors of the Drablow mansion.

Despite all the shocks and frights, however, the film’s most distressing scene shows Janet McTeer seating her two Pomeranians at the dinner table, then babying them in their little cradles, far more disturbing than the spectral woman in black.

Quick question, but one that’s been nagging at me for some time now: who the hell is Sam Worthington? OK, fine; technically I know who he is, so maybe a better question would be: why Sam Worthington? Just a few short years ago he was plucked from relative Aussie obscurity to headline James Cameron’s “Avatar,” then quickly handed the keys to the kingdom with leading roles in “Terminator: Salvation” and the “Clash of the Titans” revamp. Massive success came Worthington’s way despite very little charisma, no obvious talent, and a distracting, curly mullet. Presumably they were scouring Down Under for a more docile Russell Crowe type, but the flavorless Worthington sure ain’t that.

Kudos to the man, though, for keeping his gravy train on track, though he can take neither blame nor credit for the fact that the preposterously entertaining “Man on a Ledge” is the best bad movie of this young year.

With his problematic Noo Yawk accent and flat line delivery,

Sam Worthington in “Man on a Ledge.”

PHOTO COURTESY SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT

Worthington stars as former cop Nick Cassidy, who we meet as he’s checking into midtown Manhattan’s Roosevelt Hotel for a lunch of lobster and fries, followed by a trip just outside his 21ststory window. A flashback to Nick’s time in the slammer brings us up to speed as to why Nick might threaten to kill himself, but if you’ve seen a movie before, or at least this particular movie’s amazingly comprehensive trailer, then you know that popcorn action flicks typically don’t off their main character.

Nick isn’t actually suicidal, and through his dealings with troubled police negotiator Lydia Mercer (Elizabeth Banks), we learn that the recent prison escapee claims to have been framed for stealing a mammoth diamond belonging to real estate tycoon David Englander (Ed Harris in hammy evil mode).

Yes, “Man on a Ledge” is another one of those films where someone attempts to convince the world of their innocence by breaking a gaggle of other laws.

Because right across the street from Nick, his brother Joey (the always welcome Jamie Bell) is quietly preparing to nick the supposedly missing diamond from Englander’s high-tech fortress with the help of his ballbusting girlfriend Angie (Genesis Rodriguez) and her teeny-tiny tank top. Meanwhile, various factions of the NYPD — including the talented Anthony Mackie as Nick’s secretive former partner and Edward Burns, a consistently magnetic presence who’s turning into a nifty character actor — try to maintain control of the scene, as potential jumper Nick riles up the rubbernecking public in hopes of distracting everyone’s attention from the unfolding heist.

“Directed” by Nicholas Ray, this largely improvised film was produced over several years by students at SUNY Binghamton’s Harpur College, where Ray taught film in the early ’70s. Screened as a work-in-progress to a baffled Cannes audience in 1973, the film remained unfinished until Ray’s widow, Susan Ray, reconstructed the film in time for inclusion at the 2011 Venice Film Festival. This daring, formal experiment stands as a fascinating failure and an invaluable document of its time. Print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive. (Nicholas Ray, US 1976, 90 min.)

paper trails, impossible coincidences, and uncharacteristically dopey moves specifically designed to get one caught.

(Fun fact: Fenjves was the ghostwriter for “If I Did It,” O.J. Simpson’s brazenly tacky fuck-you to the Los Angeles courts system.) “Man on a Ledge” is the live-action filmmaking debut of Danish director Asger Leth, whose first film was the 2006 Haiti documentary “Ghosts of Cité Soleil.” Leth’s work here is capable enough, but his smartest decision was to enlist cinematographer Paul Cameron; he’s shot stuff for action masters like Michael Mann and Tony Scott, and between the often dizzying outdoor work and the DePalmainfluenced vault break-in, he offers up the thrills that the clichéd and hilariously expository screenplay never got around to incorporating.

So forget the dull Worthington (at least until “Wrath of the Titans” drops next month) and concentrate instead on his stacked supporting cast. (I haven’t yet mentioned Kyra Sedgwick as a gleefully callous reporter.) Even with her woefully underwritten part, Elizabeth Banks is the standout here. For a long time I considered Banks interchangeable with Rachel McAdams — well, after I realized they weren’t the same person — but Banks is distinguished by the subtly gritty edge that she lends to her characters, infusing them with a fragile but tough humanity. Never mind the misogynistic boys’ club at her job (though dig the deadpan banter between Banks and Burns); Lydia is contending with some pretty substantial demons of her own, and as both she and Nick angle for their respective redemptions, we start to care more about her than about him. Probably not what the people behind the camera intended, but at least we’re still watching.

Located on the historic Erie Canal, the village of Brockport has thrived as a community since the 1820s when the canal opened and “boom town” settlements sprang up almost overnight.

Today, this period of economic success is most evident in downtown Brockport, which has the largest, most distinguished example of a Victorian-era village commercial district in Monroe County. To fully appreciate Brockport’s history and architecture, however, you need to also visit the lovely residential neighborhoods, with their gracious homes, tree-shaded streets, and easy proximity to all the amenities that village living offers.

light-filled, formal dining room opens onto the front porch, a place to relax, listen to the bells of the college chime, and watch the world walk by.

A short walk down Main Street brings you to College Street, a picturesque residential area that features one of the best preserved Greek Revival homes in the village. Built in 1841 and located on property that belonged to Hiel Brockway, the founder of Brock’s Port, 40 College Street has been meticulously maintained for over thirty years by its current owner. Set on a generous lot with lovely gardens and mature trees, the house is highlighted by both classical and later 19thcentury detailing. Decorative pilasters, and graceful fluted columns create a signature look for the house. The handsome entrance opens into a spacious hallway with a grand, curved staircase and elegant banister. The large living room and dining room include bold, Greek Revival moldings around the windows, doors, and fireplace. Decorative crown moldings and built-in bookcases enhance the living room. The

Upstairs, on the second floor, you will find three, comfortable bedrooms and a full bath. The large basement has a tall ceiling, 1,380 square feet and possibilities for additional storage and workshop activities. The attached, two-car garage complements the historic architecture of the house and features a walk-up attic.

The generously sized, eat-in kitchen includes ample storage and appliances. Situated between the kitchen and dining room, the butler’s pantry retains its wood countertops and original cabinets. The modern laundry room is conveniently located just off the kitchen. When warm weather arrives, the private, screened-in porch on the west side of the house will provide many hours of relaxation and views of the extensive gardens.

An officially designated “Village of Brockport Landmark,” this property at 40 College Street is offered at $129,900 with taxes of $6,342.

The house includes 2,356 square feet and has a 0.34-acre lot. Contact Kay Carpenter, Hunt Real Estate, at 585-943-7111 (visit www.40collegestreet.com to see more photos).
