MUSIC FEATURE | BY WILLIE CLARK | PAGE 12 | PHOTO PROVIDED

Gypsies, tramps, and Thieves Caravan of Thieves channels ghosts, imports Japanese secrets, and combines the best aspects of street performance, theater, and the lush sounds of gypsy music. Members bound around the stage, decked out in frilly clothes, top hats, suits, and dresses seemingly from another era. The musicians dance and fly past one other, arms flailing as they strike guitars, beat against a string bass, or smash tin pots and pans lying about the stage. Solos pass flawlessly from player to player.

Think of Caravan of Thieves as an acoustic Gogol Bordello, an American Crooked Fiddle Band, or

jazz improvisation sped up and dosed with musical steroids. Or, as the groups put it, “If Django Reinhardt, the cast of ‘Stomp,’ and The Beatles all had a party at Tim Burton’s house, we would be the band that they hired.”

The result is a whirlwind of sound, mashing together searing violin licks and thundering string-bass bellowings. Above all the strumming and sideshow spectacle sits the sultry voices, captivating in their harmonies. Lock up your children and women: Caravan of Thieves is on its way to Rochester, stealing hearts and minds alike.

The Catholic Church and contraception

Surely, surely, Mary Anna Towler does not believe what she is saying in “Religion, Politics, and Women’s Health” (February 8). Alas, it seems she is in the company of many others with misconceptions of the Catholic Church and the issues at stake here.

The Catholic Church is NOT morally opposed to preventing pregnancy. It believes that sex has two purposes: for the bonding and union of the husband and wife, and for the procreation of the fruit of that love (i.e. children). The Church opposes separating either of these two purposes by artificial means, but is fine with couples spacing their children through Natural Family Planning, which anyone who promotes women’s health should support as it gives wonderful insight to a woman’s health and fertility. So no woman is forced to bear children when it is not prudent.

Under the HHS mandate, the Catholic Church IS being forced to go against her conscience and provide contraception (the Pill being a double whammy, as it can be an abortifacient, to say nothing of the “morning after pill,” which is clearly intended to be used as an abortifacient).

Whether religious institutions are required to provide and pay for contraception directly through their insurance plan, or the insurance companies provide the service, the employers will certainly bear the burden of the cost through increased premiums. While I would like to be able to parse out what my tax dollars go for (I’m no fan of war, either), it is not the same as contracting for services that go against my conscience.

Yet that is what religious institutions are being mandated to do.

As for the statement that birth control pills are often used for other medical conditions, there are many drugs that have several uses. Does that add to the argument that they should be provided for free? If so, then what about any other drug used to treat a medical condition? And Ms. Towler neglected to mention the many side effects of the Pill that should give one pause before taking it for any reason!

One of the most glaring inaccuracies came in the section about Planned Parenthood, which has NEVER provided breast cancer screening. They only do referrals, so why Komen gives them so much

support in the first place is great cause for investigation.

Mandating an individual or institution to violate their conscience is never the right thing to do. But Ms. Towler got one thing right: “Women’s health and women’s rights are moral issues, too.” Which the Catholic Church fully supports and promotes in her teachings.

Don’t blame teachers

You are as correct blaming the fire alarm for the fire as blaming the Rochester teachers and the elementary, middle, and high schools for the poor performance of so many of their enrolled students.

The schools are where many of these students first meet the expectations of the larger society and learn how they differ from the expectations of family, friends, and neighbors.

Performance in school needs a willingness to join this larger society, a willingness absent in too many Rochester students.

The teachers and schools have curricular goals, often mandated, and they do their best to help willing students to achieve these goals. The ongoing conversation in Rochester to the contrary, the development of the character and outlook of their students, while important, is secondary to the role of the schools.

Achievement of these secondary goals is impossible if the students are unwilling to change.

Many students have utterly unrealistic expectations for their future.

A New York City friend works with a small group of teenagers to expose them to good parts of the world they haven’t seen. He told me that he took them to a restaurant to meet a chef.

The chef invited the teen-agers to ask questions. One asked how much she earned, and she responded with $139,000 a year. The reaction of the teen-agers was that this was a disappointingly small income.

How do we deal with a very real problem that in many cases has persisted over several generations?

I have no answer. The issue is not poverty, or at least, not primarily poverty. America’s story, past and present, is filled with the successes of children of immigrants who spoke little English and were impoverished.

What the immigrants communicated to their children (and I was one of them) were their aspirations and that school was the route to success for the next generation.

The schools have a governmentmandated, full-time task teaching.

Systemic unwillingness to learn either needs to be addressed by some supplementary structure, whose cost is unlikely to be borne by today’s

voters, or addressed by those many parents who have been unable or unwilling to assume this role. Taking out our frustrations on the teachers and the schools can only make them less effective and says little good about ourselves.

The likely outcome is yet another generation of uneducated young people with very limited prospects for employment in the merciless global economy.

Harangued in Henrietta A recent letter from a Henrietta resident attempted to equate the expression of an opinion by the executive director of the Rochester Regional Community Design Center with bullying. Funny, my copy of Webster’s dictionary doesn’t take this kind of leap.

As co-founder and co-chair of Helping Irondequoit Plan for Progress, I can state that the staff of the RRCDC, along with its member architects and planners, has proved to be an invaluable resource, not only to my group but also to the community at large. Those involved with this endeavor have been nothing but thoughtful and professional in the projects they’ve undertaken, and in their interactions with others.

While Henrietta may be an okay town with low taxes, it is not friendly to walkers and bicyclists, and it possesses few if any structures of architectural significance.

The resource of youth

Your article regarding MCC’s decision to relocate, and the interview with the ever-astute John Klofas (“MCC: Fight or Flight,” February 1), reminded me that we are often so concerned with the youth “problems” that we fail to see the fantastic resources and opportunities young people present to a city in need of engagement and connection.

As part of the Season for Nonviolence, the M. K. Gandhi Institute has put together the Youth Activist Movement, training around 100 teenagers in nonviolence principles and practices. This initiative, as well as others that have been around for a while in the city, such as restorative practices in schools, are utilizing this resource with the hope that the city’s youth can expose the structural violence that maintains our problemfocused mindsets and teach the rest of us how to live more harmoniously. As Professor Klofas points out, you can’t run away from the problem. What you can do, however, is change the frame of the conversation.

Real school reform?

No ‘social promotion’

Watch Batteries installed $1.99 (with coupon)

100 N. Main St., Fairport • 377-4641

The Rochester school district is planning yet another new high school, to try — again — to help students who have done poorly in the schools they’re in now.

The new school would focus intense attention on its students. The school day would be longer. So would the school year.

I’m reading about all this with a sense of tired resignation, though. Obviously, the school district has to do everything it can to help these students. It can’t, in effect, simply throw them away.

But we’re focusing on them awfully late. These are not students who did well all through elementary and junior high school and then suddenly dropped out, mentally. They’ve been behind for years.

Many of them were behind when they walked into kindergarten, and they never caught up.

What’s happened is obvious. They’ve been passed through the system. Grade after grade, they’ve been promoted, even though they couldn’t read and write and compute at grade level.

The recent Children’s Agenda report notes that in 2009, only 23 percent of Rochester third-graders were at grade level in reading and writing, and only 28 percent in math.

And, of course, the higher up these students get in school, the farther behind they get. And the more turned off they are.

Simply holding children back, having them repeat a grade, often doesn’t bring them up to speed. And it can do tremendous emotional damage.

But passing them on through the system doesn’t help them, either. They get out of school ill prepared for much of anything. Late last week, I asked the district’s interim superintendent, Bolgen Vargas, why we let this happen.

“That’s an essential question,” he said. We know, he said, from studies in education, in social science, in medical science, that we can tell from an early age what kinds of problems children will have as they grow older. And with the proper, intensive — and early — intervention, said Vargas, we could help those children.

Schools can’t do this job by themselves; it will take a large, community-wide effort, in the classroom and outside. And it will take money.

But that’s not what the current schoolreform movement is focusing on. It’s focusing solely on curriculum, testing, teacher accountability.

The research is very convincing. If we were to adopt a more proactive, preventive approach,” we would save money.

Bolgen Vargas

“There’s no question that you need rigorous and solid curriculum and instruction, and good assessment of what kids are learning,” Vargas said. But, he said, that’s not nearly enough. The community has to “acknowledge the challenges” the children have when they arrive at school.

We cannot expect the same of a child who enters kindergarten with a 700-word vocabulary as we do of a suburban child with a vocabulary of several thousand. “We have extensive research,” Vargas said, “that when a kid comes from a socially disadvantaged background, you have to mitigate” those challenges.

And, Vargas said: “We cannot do it in 6 ½ hours and 180 days.”

Right now, “when a kid is behind, we only have one recipe,” he said. “We either retain the kid or promote the kid.

We haven’t taken into account that the kid will need more time and a social and emotional component to their learning.”

Vargas urges extending the school day and the school year for students who need more help. And after-school programs with rich academic, arts, social, and sports offerings: “the kinds of things that most middle-class kids experience.”

“The research is very convincing,” said Vargas. “If we were to adopt a more proactive, preventive approach,” we would save money. “We have 1600 students who go through the Monroe County jail every year.” continues on page 7 rochestercitynewspaper.com

[ news from the week past ]

Plan ok’d to assess teachers

The State Education Department and teachersunion officials reached an agreement over teacher evaluations. Sixty percent of a teacher’s evaluation will be based on classroom observations, 20 percent on student performance on state standardized tests, and 20 percent on student performance on locally designed assessment tools that may include state tests. The agreement requires school districts across the state to have their evaluation plans approved by the SED before the end of the year.

Vote tabled on alternative high school

The Rochester school board tabled a vote to approve opening City High, an alternative high school.

Interim Superintendent Bolgen Vargas proposed creating the school to provide intensive instruction to students who are at high risk of not graduating.

The new school would have longer days and year-round instruction. The board asked Vargas to provide more details about the proposal by mid-March.

Speakers pan new state lej districts Rochesterians had a chance to comment on proposed Assembly and

Senate redistricting maps, and they didn’t have much positive to say. The hearing was held by the Legislature task force that put the maps together.

Speaker after speaker criticized the lines, and they focused mainly the Senate districts, which they say are aggressively partisan and inappropriately divide up the city of Rochester.

So do Black leaders

HEALTH CARE | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

LGBT health-coverage needs recognized

The Rochester Black Political Caucus, a group of local black elected officials, has written Governor Andrew Cuomo to express its opposition to proposed Senate redistricting maps.

The group is urging the governor to veto the lines, if the Legislature approves them. The proposed Senate lines are drawn in a way that would dilute the influence of the city’s minority voters, says the letter.

More cop presence downtown City officials announced that a new police substation will eventually open on the first floor of the Sibley Building, but a beefed-up downtown police presence will be felt much sooner.

Over the next few weeks, the police department will deploy 30 officers and supervisors, with an emphasis on foot and bike patrols. The main focus will be quality-of-life issues like loitering and panhandling.

The Obama administration has consistently included LGBT health issues in the national health care discussion says Scott Fearing, director of the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley. FILE PHOTO

Even if you’re a healthy lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender person, finding affordable health insurance can be frustrating. The Obama administration has tried to make it easier, however, for the LGBT community to find coverage through the Affordable Care Act. The US Health and Human Services Department recently updated its main web site to include insurance information aimed at the LGBT community, such as plans for same-sex domestic partners.

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force hailed the development, saying on its web site that “finding domestic partner health insurance coverage just got easier.”

Though the update recognizes the often special health insurance needs of LGBT people, the web site requires some patience to navigate. And the costs of the available insurance plans might still be unaffordable for many LGBT consumers.

To find the plans, go to www. healthcare.gov and click the blue “Find Insurance Options” tab at the top left corner, and then input the necessary information: ZIP code, age, and medical needs. Scroll nearly to the bottom and click “same-sex” or “domestic partner” to help narrow the search.

The LGBT community, according to several studies, is an underinsured population. Many are employed in low-paying or part-time positions that don’t offer health care coverage, says Scott Fearing, director of the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley. And the inability for LGBT couples to marry in most states also prevents many people from having access to insurance, he says, since not all companies offer domestic partner benefits.

Cost of War

A big change is that you now must live in

4,484 US servicemen and servicewomen, 318 Coalition servicemen and servicewomen, and approximately 105,343 to 115,048 Iraqi civilians have been killed in Iraq from the beginning of the war and occupation to February 10.

No American casualties were reported after November 14.

IRAQ TOTALS —

the City of Rochester in order to take the fire exam. The RFD spent six weeks strategically recruiting applicants prior to the January exam — an effort that included visiting a dozen churches that have heavy minority participation.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Exam changes boost minority turnout for RFD Rochester Fire Chief John Caufield estimates that 60 percent of the more than 900 people who signed up to take the most recent civil service exam to become Rochester firefighters were from underrepresented groups: women and minorities. It’s potentially good news, he says, for a department that has long struggled to increase diversity in its ranks.

The exam was given in January. And of the 905 people who signed up for the test, 733 showed up on exam day.

The Rochester Fire Department, Caufield says, is 82 percent white male, and there are just 10 women on the job.

“It’s just not reasonable,” he says. “We don’t represent the community we work for.”

The city hired a consultant to revamp the hiring process. A big change is that you now must live in the City of Rochester in order to take the exam. The RFD spent six weeks strategically recruiting applicants prior to the January exam, Caufield says — an effort that included visiting a dozen churches that have heavy minority participation.

Another change is that the physical agility test has been moved to the end of the process, saving the time and expense of putting hundreds of people through the test. The

physical trial will be given to people at the end of their eightweek recruit training.

City Council member Adam McFadden, who has long advocated for more minority participation in public safety jobs, says the physical portion of the John Caufield. FILE PHOTO test has traditionally been a barrier for women, and the intense recruit training should better prepare people for it.

Recorded interviews of RFD applicants will be scored independently, McFadden says, to eliminate the potential for cronyism or nepotism. Previously, fire department personnel conducted and scored the interviews.

“I don’t want people to think we made the exam easier or dumbed it down,” McFadden says. “We just did it so it made sense.”

1,895 US servicemen and servicewomen and 991 Coalition servicemen and servicewomen have been killed in Afghanistan from the beginning of the war and occupation to February 10. Statistics for Afghan civilian casualties are not available.

Screening superintendents The search for a permanent superintendent for city schools is moving from a discussion and input phase to reviewing applications.

The search committee has held several public input meetings with parents, teachers, business leaders, clergy, higher education representatives, and community groups. | The meetings were designed to build consensus around what combination of experience and skills are needed in the next superintendent.

The ability to collaborate with a diverse community of students, parents, and teachers was one of the committee’s biggest concerns. Another was dramatically raising the standards of what’s expected of students. | The committee is now focused on developing the questions that applicants should be asked.

In a recent meeting, committee members wondered aloud how they’d get all their questions in during a roughly two-hour interview. Each committee member said they have dozens of questions for the candidates, and the school board is creating a place on its web site, www.rcsdk12.org, for the general public to add questions. | Candidates interested in the position have until the end of the month to apply. The committee is planning to review the applications in March so that interviews can be scheduled.

DEVELOPMENT | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

City official: Port won’t be a playground for the rich

Instead of the vast parking lot now dominating important riverfront land in Charlotte, city officials hope for housing, maybe restaurants and offices, and a marina on the river. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

Some Rochesterians see the port area, particularly the terminal, as little more than a monument to the failed ferry. To others it’s Abbott’s, a walk on the pier, and maybe a ride on the historic carousel — a quiet and scenic respite.

City officials see potential. Loads of it.

Right now that potential is stuffed and shoved into Mark Gregor’s undersized office at City Hall. He has reports, studies, and designs tucked into every nook and cranny, and he also has a few softball-size dark lumps that look like moon rocks. It’s slag, he says — waste from the steel mill that used to operate in the port area. It will be mined, he says, and possibly repurposed for fill on the massive port redevelopment project.

Gregor is the city’s point person on a $30 million plan to transform the Port of Rochester from “the beach with the parking lot” — as some say the port area is known in the boating community — to a thriving mix of high-end housing, a marina, a new public promenade, and possibly some stores, offices, and restaurants.

“This should be an interesting place to be,” Gregor says.

The project site is at the Port of Rochester where the Genesee River meets Lake Ontario, adjacent to Ontario Beach Park.

It encompasses the former ferry terminal, parking lots, the public boat launch, and the Charlotte Genesee Lighthouse.

But the project has both challenges and critics. There’s the longstanding problem of the rotting algae that stinks up the lake and City

FEBRUARY 22-28, 2012

beach, and also contributes to swimming bans. A permanent solution to that problem has flummoxed officials so far.

Another issue: the buildup of sediment in the harbor reduces water depth and makes passage tricky for larger boats. There is no money to dredge the harbor right now, although US Senator Chuck Schumer is working on a solution.

The biggest knock against the project, though, is the perception that the city would essentially be privatizing a public space. Gregor estimates that the housing units could start at around $225,000 to $250,000 to buy — essentially pricing out average Rochesterians.

“I get that,” Gregor says. “The calculus for the city is, ‘Are we really removing all that much public access to the park, to the pier, to the beach, to the waterfront by doing this? And would this be a higher and better use in terms of promoting the area, but also in terms of the obvious stuff like generating property taxes and promoting economic and commercial activity?’”

The project would encompass approximately 30 acres, Gregor says, with six or seven acres in total set aside for private use. The majority of the rest of the space would be taken up by new roads, sidewalks, a public promenade and trail, and a marina. An earlier plan shifted approximately 75 percent of the 30-acre site to private use, he says. The city changed gears, Gregor says, based on feedback from the public.

Aside from the Winter Celebration,

Rochesterians don’t generally spend a lot of time at the port in the winter. But Gregor says potential developers are less interested in the weather and more interested in the availability of the marina. Twenty to 25 percent of the people who would live in the new development would want a marina slip, the city’s research shows.

The marina would be done in stages and eventually have about 157 slips. Temporary slips for visitors are a possibility, Gregor says. And seasonal and long-term slips would be available.

There could also be a condo hotel on the site. People would live there, but there would be units for seasonal or periodic rental. A boutique hotel is another possibility: a small facility tailored to seasonal or transient visitors.

Once fully developed, there would be between 280 to 430 housing units spread out over three areas on the site, Gregor says. Market research has shown that the project would pull in empty nesters who are attracted to city living, he says, but want a more resort, smaller-town setting.

Gregor says local developers have expressed interest in the project, as long as the marina is constructed by the city. There are no plans to use city money to build the housing units, he says. Initial construction of the project — primarily the first phase of the marina —would cost about $19 million.

Some critics have expressed concern about gentrification. Gregor says the city

has heard that concern, but that Charlotte already has high-end lakefront properties near the project site.

“We are not attempting to bring in thousands of new high-end units, and the development that does occur will take place over many years,” he says. “One of the criticisms of the city’s housing supply is that there is very little new housing available, and we are trying to address this concern.”

Gregor says that the impact on nearby property values “should be positive, but not dramatic.”

The height of the housing units has been another sore spot. Part of the plan, Gregor says, is to amend the city’s zoning code to create a Marina District which would regulate the height of the buildings and other features. Projects within the district would still have to go through the normal permitting process, Gregor says, but they would be spared a separate environmental review. The overall port project is in the middle of its environmental review right now.

Gregor says the city knows building height is a concern, and that officials have worked to mitigate that. Still, under the proposed Marina District, the maximum height allowed would be 12 to 14 stories, Gregor says.

“There are going to be some locations where we could go quite high,” he says. “We know that’s been an issue that people have had, so we’ve tried to shrink the footprints of these buildings so that if it’s tall, it’s a smaller footprint on the site.”

“The reason that we’re permitting height in some locations is that there are really some spectacular views down there,” Gregor adds.

The people living on the higher floors would pay more for those views.

Commercial development planned for Lake Avenue would be designed so that after the first two stories, the exterior walls facing Lake would be set in farther from the street. That way pedestrians on Lake wouldn’t be overwhelmed by the size of the buildings, Gregor says.

School reform And every few years, the district creates a new high school to try to do what it can for its struggling students before it loses them altogether.

“The thing that is most painful for me,” Vargas said, “is that I know right now I have 4000 students who are over age and will end up dropping out.”

“It’s not the fault of the teachers or the community,” he said. “I don’t put blame on anyone.”

But, he added: “We’re not approaching this issues with some wisdom.”

So let me go back to a subject I brought up a few weeks ago: the school for children with dyslexia where my sister is a principal.

Maximum class size in first grade: 10. And each first-grade class has two fulltime certified teachers trained specifically to help dyslexic children deal with their challenges and thrive in their studies.

What if we created programs — classroom and after-school — designed to address the challenges of Rochester’s high-poverty student population?

And what if we lowered the class size of first and second grade to 10 and put two specially trained teachers in each class? And we kept children in those grades until they were truly ready to move on?

I can hear the district’s critics now: we don’t need to do that. Teachers just need to do their job.

You think so? Let’s test it in a couple of schools. And let’s have the district’s critics participate. Have teams of critics — parents, politicians, business leaders — observe the classes, in regular schools and the test schools. If we find that by cracking the whip on teachers with large classes we get the same results as we do in the test schools, then I’ll agree with the critics.

But if not? I’ll expect the critics to insist that we do this district wide.

And yes, I can hear the critics: We can’t afford to do that.

Can’t afford to? We can’t afford not to.

We already know what our low graduation rate is costing us.

All the news that’s fit to eat [ CHOW HOUND ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

Maybe you’ve noticed that at the end of every Chow Hound column we ask you to send us tips on the happenings in Rochester’s food scene. But it’s not because we’re lazy, or snoozing happily after a lavish meal (actually, sometimes it is that). Truth is, we only have a limited number of eyes, ears, and bellies to put to use in the hunt for local food news. And the new year has brought with it a barrage of information, so now we serve it up to you, buffet style.

• The Park Avenue strip is slowly morphing into Rochester’s Bakery District, with Dimitra Apostolopoulos’s adorable Delish recently setting up shop next to Roam Café.

In addition to the expected array of scones, biscotti, and cupcakes, Delish tempts with exquisite chocolate domes, Greek specialties like melomakarona (a cakey, spiced cookie bathed in honey), and freshly prepared crêpes, both sweet and savory. (266 Park Ave., 2449002, delish-bakery.org) • Now occupying the former Peter Geyer Steakhouse space at the Brookwood Inn, LaRosa’s Italian Kitchen + Bar serves dinner seven nights a week, offering up their own takes on continental classics like fritto misto (that’s flash-fried shrimp, scallops, artichoke hearts, and fennel served with smoked paprika aïolï, $12) and pizza (dig the fig and prosciutto di Parma pizza with arugula and gorgonzola, $13), as well as steaks, chops,

fish, and pasta. LaRosa’s even has a bar menu available until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. (800 Pittsford-Victor Road, 2496060, thebrookwoodinn.com/larosa) • Named for owner Livingston Walker, Livie’s Import Market is more than a store, though it does carry Caribbean products that you might otherwise have a hard time finding in this gloomy climate. Livie’s also houses a restaurant serving traditional Jamaican breakfasts such as callaloo and the famous ackee and saltfish, as well as lunch and dinner mainstays like oxtail and curried goat. (375 Chili Ave., 529-4450, liviesimportmarket.com) • The soul-warming Rochester institution Nathan’s Soup & Salad has opened its third outpost, the latest in the Genesee Regional Market. The thorough website lays out all the daily specials, helpfully noting which of the delicious soups is vegetarian, dairy-free, or gluten-free. Now if only there were a way to download Nathan’s fluffy cheese bread...

The extensive menu doesn’t fix what ain’t broken, touching upon Cantonese, Szechuan, Mandarin, and Hunan cuisines, including whole Peking duck with the usual accompaniments ($30.95). (1763 Empire Boulevard, 671-5133, royaldynastyrest.com) • It took a little while, but the Bocanegra family at the heart of the yummy Public Market food stand Monterrey Mexican Tacos has relocated to a colorful corner of Boulder Coffee at the Market as La Placita. Offering tacos, tamales, pozole, tostadas, and more, La Placita is only open on Saturdays. Fortunately, it does catering as well, if one day a week just won’t cut it for you.

too seriously. Whether as lead singer of his former band, beloved 90’s cult poppers Soul Coughing, or now in his second life as a solo act, there’s always been a certain amount of levity in his music. To some extent, Doughty is a modern Beat poet, espousing a sort of stream-of-consciousness, observational method to his songwriting.

the Colorblind James Experience is hard to shake. Its songs — anchored by the talk-sing of late founder Chuck Cuminale, who died in 2001 — are bouncy, droll, uplifting, and utterly unique. Genre-wise, the sound is hard to pin down, calling to mind polka, ska, Dylan, and The Dead, and featuring at times a vibraphone, trombone, and other curiosities. Since its start in the late70’s the band has made an indelible impression on farreaching fans. The band — whose lineup includes former members and Cuminale’s son Mark on guitar — played a pair of reunion shows in 2011 and the revival continues.

Danko’s last annual concert, you’re right. Danko’s event is held on leap-year day, so like the old man who has only celebrated 20 birthdays, this will be Danko’s ninth annual concert in 33 years. Danko, professor of jazz studies and contemporary media at the Eastman School of Music, began the tradition in 1980 at the legendary club Birdland when he was teaching in New York City. In previous leap year concerts Danko has shared the stage with a variety of guests. This year we’ll get to hear more of his eloquent style in a solo performance. — BY RON NETSKY

Judging by the amount of people who showed up right at 7 p.m., the announced starting time for Footnote at Lovin’ Cup Sunday night, the fusion band has built a healthy following. The crowd — and the room was crowded — ranged from Rochester Institute of Technology students to baby boomers who might have related more directly to the music. Meanwhile, Lovin’ Cup lived up to its name: many of the patrons received hugs from the young staff before being seated.

Right on time, Footnote took the stage for what would become a marathon set. When the band says 7-9 p.m., that means no breaks — just one long set. While the group does a lot of cover tunes, it is by no means a cover band. Not only are the arrangements original (not to mention the band’s many original tunes), but the songs it covers are not exactly “Free Bird.”

And, because the group’s definition of fusion expands beyond jazz and rock to funk and reggae, Footnote covers a lot of territory.

The set began in a mellow enough way with George Benson’s “Affirmation,” which eased into The Rippingtons’ “Aspen.” But, before it was over, the quartet’s members would traverse the complex topography that is Weather Report’s “Teen Town” and play a gorgeous tune by Pat Metheny (I could not recall or hear the title). Footnote guitarist Jon Greeno graduated from Berklee College of Music, home of the legendary guitar instructor, Mick Goodrick. Goodrick was Metheny’s teacher and, though I didn’t get to ask, I’ll bet his trademark high-register, liquid tone rubbed off on Greeno, too.

Bassist Dan Lopa also attended Berklee, so it was not surprising that he had no trouble tackling the bass pyrotechnics on “Teen Town” that are the hallmark of just about any song composed by the great bassist, Jaco Pastorius. Of course, it wasn’t all cerebral; perhaps the best response from the crowd came when Greeno and keyboard player Mike Thireos launched into a jazzed-up rendition of the Steve Miller Band’s “Fly Like An Eagle” with Keith Welch nicely accenting on the drums. Because of the chatter (Lovin’ Cup is a restaurant/ bar) it was hard to hear exactly who wrote what, but the second strongest response came at the start of the one reggae-tinged tune of the night.

GYPSIES, tramps, and Thieves [ PROFILE ] BY WILLIE CLARK

Caravan of Thieves Wednesday, February 29 Lovin’ Cup, 300 Park Point Drive 8 p.m. | $10 | 292-9940, lovincup.com

s the adage goes, it takes a village to raise a child. But for the musical offspring of Fuzz and Carrie Sangiovanni, it took a caravan.

It started as a love story.

Carrie was living in Burlington, Vermont, and Fuzz just came up and said hello.

That one hello must have been enough: five months later the couple was engaged, and the two started making music a month after that.

“It was very fast. We met and we took off from there and didn’t look back,” Carrie says.

Although they had no way of knowing it then, the road on which the couple took off would lead to channeling ghosts to help write songs, imported Japanese secrets, and a band that combines the best aspects of street performance, theater, and the lush sounds of gypsy music.

Playing music was something the newlyweds could do together. They both sang and played guitar, and started with random outdoor and busking gigs. In 2008 the couple added violinist Ben Dean and double bassist Brian Anderson to the group. Caravan of Thieves was born.

The street-performance background certainly shines through in current Caravan of Thieves shows. Members bound around the stage, decked out in frilly clothes, top hats, suits, and dresses seemingly from another era.

The musicians dance and fly past one other, arms flailing as they strike guitars, beat against the string bass, or smash tin pots and pans lying about the stage. Solos pass flawlessly from player to player.

The result is a whirlwind of sound, mashing together searing violin licks and 12 City FEBRUARY 22-28, 2012

thundering string-bass bellowings. Above all the strumming and sideshow spectacle sits the Sangiovannis’ sultry voices, captivating in their harmonies. Lock up your children and women: Caravan of Thieves is on its way to Rochester, stealing hearts and minds alike.

“We like to think of ourselves like a street

We’re never going to get ‘We’re going to make a theatrical performance a drummer, not even a guy who played out of this.’ But it just comes off that way. A congas or something like that. So this lot of musicians normally would just stand was almost a loophole, though it works there and play their instruments, but we look for us, because we like to have the street at it a lot more visually.” performance...it’s something that’s very The only thing that Caravan is trash can-y,” Fuzz says. missing is a drummer, but the band more The collected items that have become than makes up for it with its elaborate percussive parts of the Caravan set include percussive hoe-downs.

performance for the stage, and it’s something we can do completely unplugged,” says Fuzz, calling from Connecticut.

Think of Caravan of Thieves as an acoustic Gogol Bordello, an American Crooked Fiddle Band, or jazz improvisation sped up and dosed with musical steroids. Or, as the groups put it, “If Django Reinhardt, the cast of ‘Stomp,’ and The Beatles all had a party at Tim Burton’s house, we would be the band that they hired,” Carrie says.

“More simply stated, sometimes we’ll just say gypsy swing or gypsy folk, or something like that,” Fuzz says.

Carrie is the only member with an acting background, but all the members of the band have had performance experience, some of them classically trained. The group members dismiss questions about who creates the group’s stage choreography.

As complex as the live performances might be, they’re just a natural evolution of the onstage and offstage interactions of the band.

“We didn’t want to be mistaken for a reserved gypsyjazz band or a jazz-acoustic band,” says Fuzz. “Our vision of gypsy is very wild and free and

Wednesday, February 22 Mic’d, but still acoustic. Larger venues and halls require the group to amplify and microphone its instruments, but Caravan still sticks true to the acoustic roots of the band.

There’s flexibility in acoustic sounds that the group can play anywhere, with or without having to rely on electricity.

At one show the band actually had to put that into practice. Caravan was performing at the Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton, Massachusetts, when the power went out in the building. “We wound up finishing the last half of the set with a few candles lit and doing the whole thing completely unplugged,” Fuzz says. “It was pretty neat to have that opportunity, but that’s the idea. That we can do the show — of course we plug in and put it through a sound system, because it needs to be amplified for bigger rooms. But it’s more of the concept of it.”

While myriad concepts have all funneled into the band’s musical style, the group is eager to share credit for the concepts of its songs. When Caravan of Thieves gets stuck, it turns to ghosts for help.

“Well, it’s always there, it’s always with us. It’s really, if you want to say it, our silent partner,” Fuzz says of the spirit on which the band calls. “It’s been there ever since the first album, you know. That’s why we have a song called ‘Ghost Writer.’”

And for the ghost stories, well, who is to say they can’t be true? Caravan of Thieves writes the kind of music that can get stuck in a listener’s head, creating sweet melodies that have that lasting power. Perhaps the ghost is a necessary secret to the band’s success.

That isn’t the only secret the band is keeping, however. When questioned about any pre-show habits or rituals, the mystery only deepens.

“We can’t disclose that, but we have something that we do every show,” Carrie says.

“It’s totally ridiculous,” Fuzz says. “Let’s put it this way: we brought it back from Japan.”

But what keeps the group coming back to stage after stage, street after street, isn’t the ghosts, Japanese imports, or the laundry list of cool found objects in the percussion collection. It’s the family that has developed, seeing the child of an idea they had with the band connect to audiences.

Caravan of Thieves started with a love story, and now it continues to be one that has taken on a life of its own. “What I always come back to when we’re on the road, and we play a show — at the end of the night everybody’s smiling,” Carrie says. “And it feels awesome to be able to do what you love and actually have other people love it with you, and make them happy with that. I think that’s one of the most rewarding parts of it.”

CLASSICAL | Fioritura: Concertos for the Chamber

Fioritura, as a musical term, is a 17th or 18th century indication to embellish or flourish a melody. It would seem a safe assumption that the musical group Fioritura Baroque will play music of this style. Fioritura brings the sounds of the early baroque orchestra in a smaller, chamber ensemble, including winds, strings, and continuo. Their website lists the original instruments used by each musician, the earliest of which being a theorbo from 1611, played by Deborah Fox, the latest of which being a cello from 1790, played by Christopher Haritatos. The concert will include pieces by Vivaldi, Telemann, Boismortier, and others. A pre-concert chat begins at 3:15 p.m.

Fioritura: Concertos for the Chamber takes place Sunday, February 26, 4 p.m. at Downtown United Presbyterian Church, 121 N.

WORLD | David Wax Museum

David Wax, one half of David Wax Museum, sings and plays jarana, a type of guitar. Suz Slezak provides vocal harmonies and plays fiddle and quijada, a percussive instrument that’s similar to a vibraslap but is made from a donkey’s jawbone.

It may all seem unconventional, but together the Boston duo makes musica hermosa (beautiful music). That’s because David Wax Museum weaves organic textures from traditional Mexican and American folk to create joyous melodies and memorable songs, a soundtrack that would be at home in either Rochester or Juarez.

Rock | Jane’s Addiction

I’d say that Perry Farrell, lead singer of Jane’s Addiction, is a creative visionary and marketing genius. Farrell may have foreseen the mainstream recording industry death spiral, and concluded that the only way to make a reliable buck is by selling tickets. So the frontman created a festival to promote Jane’s Addiction’s farewell tour in the early 90’s, and that event has evolved to become what we all know and love as Lollapalooza. Now Jane’s Addiction is back and features its classic line-up of Dave Navarro (guitar) and Stephen Perkins (drums), with Chris Chaney (bass). The legendary band’s intimate North American tour should give fans a rare opportunity to get their rocks off up close and personal.

A detail from Kim Waale’s “I Need a Lullaby” installation at University of Rochester’s Hartnett Gallery. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

Dream weaver “I Need a Lullaby”

by Kim Waale Through February 26 Hartnett Gallery, Wilson Commons, University of Rochester River Campus.

Tuesday-Friday 11 a.m.-7 p.m., Saturday-Sunday noon-5 p.m.

275-4188 | blogs.rochester.edu/hartnett [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Cast a glance at the Hartnett Gallery at the University of Rochester, and you might be struck by its current state. Massive, glittering spider webs fill the corners of the space and hang from above, indicating an extreme disuse and need to clean house. The work is in fact a site-specific installation by artist, educator, and author Kim Waale, who has converted the campus gallery into an ethereal little story nursery with what she calls “threedimensional drawings.”

On the balcony section of the gallery, which overlooks the dining atrium of Wilson Commons, a huge web is suspended, seemingly constructed by a behemoth arachnid from the rainforest. Small glass beads cover the work, catching the light 16 City february 22-28, 2012

like dew and enhancing the feeling of a feral creation. In fact, City Newspaper’s photographer first spied the work while having lunch with a friend in the atrium below, and thought it was a genuine web.

I love that anecdote, because it also shows off the gallery’s design, which took into consideration extra interaction with the campus environs. There is also a walkway above the Hartnett, with windows peeping into it, and both interfaces offer ways to engage students and the campus community who might not have otherwise stopped in to see the art.

Waale is professor of art and director of the

studio art program at Cazenovia College in Cazenovia, New York. She has been working with this web form since her 2008 residency at the Art Colony Galichnik in Macedonia, and she developed a series of outdoor webs made of spun plastic wrap, like the ones in this current show, during a residency at I-Park in Connecticut.

At first glance, “I Need a Lullaby” appears to be quite different from Waale’s works that were featured as part of the Memorial Art Gallery’s 2010 “RochesterFinger Lakes Exhibition,” in which she

pasted the images of Disney characters Thumper and Bambi amid massive, drippy strokes of brown paint in an otherwise white space, offering sterilized versions of our encounters with nature. “Increasingly, nature is an idea, a cultural construction, and a commodity,” the artist said in her MAG statement. “We are attempting to generate a natural world that we can control and therefore enjoy easily.”

In that exhibit Waale paired imagery of commodified nature (as depicted in Disney cartoons) with the visceral, Pollock-esque, nature-as-self dripping painterly blobs. In this one, she again embodies nature by becoming the non-arachnid weaver behind those familiar forms. The two bodies of work are also alike in their stark simplicity, as well as in the themes of nature and our strange, conscious place as aliens amid it, in the thrall of both powerful wonder and fear.

In the main, triangular gallery space, four

large webs are suspended from the ceiling, like hammocks, again covered in beaded string. Stepping back from each work, the viewer can spy rib-like boughs of a spider’s crystalline handiwork, shimmering slightly in the low, cave-like lighting. From afar, the

beads are clear and shimmer. Up close a rainbow of glass emerges.

Off to the side are three collapsed webs, seven-foot-tall specters seeming to indicate hanging masses that remain when prey has gotten away. The forms are like jellyfish in a thinned-out upward surge, the beaded and knotted strings hanging to the floor, trailing like tentacles. This destroyed work becomes a metaphor for loss, and the need — and ability — to regenerate.

I’ve come to appreciate installation work as something that requires time to fully consider. There must be a willingness to uncover the hidden potential for narrative that the artist placed not within the work, but anticipated in the interaction between the work and the viewer. Strolling around the space, ducking and dodging the work, a freeassociation emerges based on what is seen and what is felt.

Waale’s work inspired a meditation upon the usefulness of self-generated power, how — like these snares — weaving stories and songs can captivate. As the titles suggests, the deadly hammocks suspended in the peaceful quiet offer comfort and sleep, but the lulling will also trap the subject, and sleep becomes a death. The work offers the knowledge that this lulling isn’t going to protect, but the fierce desire for it remains, nonetheless. It’s like reaching adulthood, deprived of nursery rhymes that brought comfort but false security.

Rolling associations creep in — each

center of the web is a negative space, a portal, a means of escape. The low light in the space indicates a cave-like space, an encounter with prehistory, and the walls are painted in a frothy, cloud-like blue and white that hint at being suspended aloft.

In the far corner of the space, nine different-sized webs are angled every which way in a multileveled tower, anchored to the ceiling, walls, and rocks strewn on the floor, which are each adorned with intricately woven, beaded webs crocheted around their surfaces. This corner community of snares resembles spiral universes, suspended in space and time, stories in stasis.

My penchant to personify objects had me actively assigning aspects to each web — here, a grandmotherly figure, sagging and soothing, with places of broken thread; in the corner, a group of flashy showoffs, ready with tight and sparkling traps. Others were weatherworn and useless, mummified shells of their former strength. Waale’s work speaks of undeniable fragility, and the persistent power of story, and other things we generate within ourselves.

COMEDY | Estrofest feat. Barry Williams

Here’s the story…of some lovely ladies…who will be sharing the stage with the artist formerly known as Greg Brady. This weekend local comedy troupe Estrofest will be performing “The Best of Estrofest” at the Jewish Community Center (1200 Edgewood Ave.), and the group will be joined by 1970’s teen heartthrob Barry Williams, a.k.a., the original Greg Brady.

Estrofest will be dishing out a bevy of gut-busting comedy sketches and fan-favorite videos, and bringing back a colorful cast of characters such as Hemp, Johnny Ho Cake, and Mother Moose. In addition to the Estrofest wackiness, on Saturday, February 25, at 2 p.m., Williams will be performing his solo show, “Growing Up Brady.” The show will feature songs, video clips, and firsthand, behind-thescenes stories of what it was like being the older brother in “The Brady Bunch.”

The Estrofest shows take place Thursday, February 23, at 7 p.m.; Saturday, February 25, at 7 p.m.; and Sunday, February 26, at 2 p.m. Tickets for Estrofest or “Growing Up Brady” cost $30 apiece, and are on sale at all area Wegmans locations.

FESTIVAL | Occupy Your Health

The term “occupy” is certainly getting some mileage these days. It’s become a buzzword used to indicate the intellectual shift of the people toward reconsidering and refocusing on their own capabilities to care for themselves and their communities, without the “help” of immoral corporations and the big government that serves those companies. It’s about a proud return to autonomy and actual liberty and justice for all. It’s about taking time away from the crushing rush of life to get organized together.

Besides the paranoid, religious zealot aspect, the historic Salem witch trials were a systematic and nearly complete removal of the power of the people to do what they always had done — heal themselves with nature’s bounty. If you were caught practicing herbalism or midwifery, you were murdered. Neighbors were suspicious of one another, and communities were broken. See what they did there? We aren’t burning each other at the stake anymore, but we are almost entirely reliant upon a reactionary (not preventionbased) medical system that is slave to pharmaceutical companies, and a food system that has more things wrong with it than Donald Trump’s hair situation.

People don’t have access to what they need, and we’ve largely forgotten how to care for ourselves.

On Sunday, February 26, 3-9 p.m., the Flying Squirrel Community Space (285 Clarissa St.) will host “Occupy Your Health,” a community-organized health fair and swap meet. The event will focus on alternative medicine, natural healing, bodywork, and holistic approaches to caring for your body and mind. Get info on local expert practitioners, clinics, farms, nonprofits, and advocacy centers. The event will also feature music, art, food, tea, demos, and classes. The event is free, and visitors are encouraged to bring clothing, books, seeds, tools, art, and all manner of treasure and trash to swap or give away.

Love and shootouts in the CIA [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

The movie strings together two separate plots that intersect at a couple of key moments, one of them involving a typical cinematic spy story, “This Means War” the other an equally typical bit of cinematic (PG-13), directed by McG fluff. It opens with a couple of agents, one of Now playing them named for no apparent reason FDR (Chris Pine), the other Tuck (Tom Hardy), attending a Hard on the heels of “Safe House,” a serious posh soiree in Hong Kong, where they attempt thriller about the CIA, the new movie “This to capture a bad guy named Heinrich (Til Means War” employs the organization and Schweiger). Their efforts result in a spectacular its agents as a vehicle for romantic comedy, gun battle that kills off a number of villains, something that somebody in Hollywood including Heinrich’s brother, but allows Heinrich probably regarded as “high concept.” The to escape and plot revenge against the pair. apparent originality of the notion fails to spark Back in Washington, confined to desk jobs much in the way of intelligence or conviction; because of the mess they created, the two agents instead, it translates into a slick, silly, and embark on another kind of search-and-destroy entirely implausible motion picture. mission with the goal of getting a date for Tuck. They find Lauren (Reese Witherspoon) through an online dating service, but both fall for her; to solve their problem they resolve to make courtship a contest, with the best man winning the pretty woman.

A Taste of the Mediterranean

SINBAD’S MEDITERRANEAN CUISINE

719 Park Avenue • 473-5655 • 11am-10pm Daily • www.mysinbads.com 22 City february 22-28, 2012

sometimes quite comically, the extraordinary efforts the two friends use to defeat each other and win Lauren, who of course finds them both attractive and cannot make up her mind which one to choose. They both deploy thousands of dollars’ worth of CIA electronics, machinery, and a team of agents to spy on Lauren and each other. Though they originally vowed to fight fair, in fact they immediately cheat in the contest and along the way violate a dozen or more laws.

The two men separately break into Lauren’s apartment and plant a variety of surveillance devices, including the usual phone taps and miniature video cameras, insuring that they can follow her every move and listen in on all her conversations; FDR even sends a drone plane to spy on Tuck and Lauren on a date. They also conduct research on Lauren’s background so that they can learn her tastes and preferences in everything from automobiles to men, then behave in a manner calculated to respond to her interests. In another context such deceit and manipulation would seem unconscionable, but the very outrageousness of their conduct presumably makes all the nonsense funny.

The Heinrich plot and the Lauren plot intersect when the villain sneaks into the country to nail the two agents. The nexus creates the movie’s climax, which exhibits the usual excessive violence in a mad car chase over the Los Angeles freeways, the exchange of barrages of gunfire, the demolition of numerous

The 2012 Daynas [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

automobiles, and of course an explosive conclusion. After that Lauren chooses the right man for her — no surprise there, considering the choices — and everything ends satisfactorily.

The cute, perky, vastly overrated Reese Witherspoon inherits the roles that Meg Ryan, and before her, Doris Day, used to play: the sweet, pretty, sexually nonthreatening cheerleader next door. (Oscar Levant once famously quipped that he knew Doris Day before she was a virgin, a remark that even in our more permissive time might well apply to Witherspoon). In keeping with another Hollywood tradition, the comedian Chelsea Handler plays Lauren’s best friend as an extremely raunchy descendant of the wisecracking female sidekick, the sort of role filled in the past by someone like Celeste Holm or Eve Arden.

The odd subtext of “This Means War” suggests the not-unfamiliar concept of two men courting the same woman as a substitute for their own relationship, as if the prize they compete for served to prevent them from something more threatening. Tuck and FDR constantly assert their love for each other, and the target of their snooping might be the other guy rather than Lauren, a presumably unconscious version of “Brokeback Mountain.”

Of course, in Hollywood, one never knows the extent of the inadvertent, what is intended and what happens by chance.

For the past seven years, the Daynas has persevered in its steadfast mission to weasel out of potentially embarrassing Oscar predictions by instead honoring those overlooked (and, in a few snarky cases, deservedly so) by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. And in light of the LA Times’ recent non-shocking survey showing that AMPAS consists predominantly of middle-aged white men, you can rest assured that our voting committee remains under 50 and female, though she is awfully pale this time of year.

Coming to you live-ish from muddy Corn Hill, it’s the 2012 Daynas!

Best Film: “Drive” Danish filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn revamped the noir genre with this meditative pulp about an honorable criminal trying to protect the woman he loves. Sounds familiar, but it felt bracingly fresh.

Best Worst Film: “Fast Five” Possibly the most (shameful) fun I had at the movies in 2011. Hammy acting, plotholes galore, and ridiculous stuntwork, yet the F&F flicks are getting better now that Diesel & Co. seem to be in on the joke.

Worst Worst Film: “The Hangover, Part 2” The successful sequel wasn’t the

profane laugh-o-rama we all hoped for; instead our summer began with bleak filmmaking about angry, disturbed men that will unfortunately yield a Part 3.

Best Director: Brad Bird, “Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol” So what

Best Foreign Language Film: “13 Assassins” Japanese national treasure

if Bird has only directed Pixar cartoons?

Give the man $150 million, let him dangle Tom Cruise from the tallest building in the world, and then hold your breath.

Kôji Yakusho stars for auteur Takashi Miike in this breathtaking remake of a 60’s samurai flick, which takes that reliable but often old-fashioned genre and drags into the 21st century atop a wagonload of guts and gore.

Best Actress: Charlize Theron, “Young Adult” Theron should have received

Best Documentary: “Louder Than A Bomb” This inspiring film followed a

her third Oscar nomination for her unflinching performance as a deluded 30something who never grew out of her high-school-bitch sense of entitlement, even in the throes of a depressing reality.

Best Actor: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, “50/50” Gordon-Levitt’s affecting

portrayal of a young cancer patient never succumbs to the histrionics another actor might have employed, opting instead for a thoughtful, disciplined approach that was undoubtedly informed by Will Reiser’s knowing screenplay.

Best Supporting Actresses: Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg “Melancholia” Lars von Trier’s idiotic

provocations at Cannes completely undermined one of the year’s best films, in which the surprisingly well-matched Dunst and Gainsbourg brilliantly play off each other as sisters coping in their own ways with the restrictions of life and the freedom of death.

Best Supporting Actor: Albert Brooks, “Drive” The season’s most outrageous

Forget the Oscars; our critic picks Charlize Theron in “Young Adult” as 2011’s best actress.

the crackerjack cast, especially Jude Law, the underused Jennifer Ehle, and the superb Laurence Fishburne.

Oscar snub; Brooks oozed benevolent menace as the movie-producer-turnedruthless-gangster who was unafraid to get his hands dirty (read: very, very bloody).

Best Ensemble: “Contagion” A skillfully crafted thriller all around, from the ambitious screenplay to Steven Soderbergh’s deft narrative juggling to

few passionate teens on their respective roads to a showdown at a 2008 poetry slam for Chicago high school students.

And as you’re cheering for them, these alleged opponents are rooting for each other. Beautiful.

Best Use of 3D: “A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas” Action flicks

can’t seem to harness the power of 3D, yet comedic larks like “Jackass 3D” and the latest H&K nonsensery are getting it right. Floating marijuana smoke, claymation genitals, and the reliably inyour-face Neil Patrick Harris all added up to perhaps 2011’s funniest movie.

Most Disappointing Use of 3D: “Immortals” Anyone who drank in the

mesmerizing visuals of Tarsem Singh’s “The Fall” couldn’t help but be curious about the possibilities of Tarsem working in extra dimensions. Unfortunately, due to the gloomy murk of post-production 3D, you couldn’t actually see it.

The Jennifer Aniston Award for Overexposure: Michael Fassbender No

pun intended; besides baring all in Steve McQueen’s “Shame,” Fassbender had starring roles in three other films. Good films, too. I’m just a little sick of his face.

Remember: The 84th Academy Awards, hosted by Billy Crystal — yes, again — airs this Sunday, February 26, at 7 p.m. on ABC.

A sun-dappled film noir for the ’70s, replete with political paranoia, intricate conspiracies, and an energy crisis. Nicholson offers an uncharacteristically understated performance (his face bandaged for much of the film) as J.J. Gittes, the bedroom dick who suddenly finds himself sifting through mysterious real estate transfers for clues to an unfolding plot to control Los Angeles’s water and its economy.

Stunning on Strong

48 Strong Street

In 1910 Joseph Meaghan built a house for his family on Strong Street in the newly

the living room, which has a dark wood, undecorated mantle and brick fireplace.

developing northeast section of the city. The Meaghan family, Joseph, his wife Elizabeth and ultimately his daughter, would remain in this house for a remarkable 90 years until his daughter sold it to its second owner in 1999.

Joseph Meager was secretary and treasurer of his family’s cigar making business. He built this American Foursquare in the thenpopular Colonial Revival style, reflected in the pediments on the front porch and interior detailing. For over a century the interior has remained well kept and virtually unchanged.

Although the original gas-fired firebox is no longer useable it could be replaced to provide warmth and cheer on a cold winter night. A comfortable window seat offers a place to relax with a book.

Step through the front door and into the early 1900s. In the large, open foyer note the simple unpretentious stained glass window next to the door, one of four original stained glass windows in the house.

Overhead an original light fixture hangs from the ceiling. The visitor is immediately conscious of gleaming unpainted woodwork—in the baseboards, crown moldings, and window and door casings.

The untouched woodwork throughout the first floor is just one of many original elements that make this house a unique opportunity for the homebuyer in search of character and charm.

The visitor’s attention is also drawn to the contrast of the dark wood of the stairway against the light streaming through the full length stained glass window above the landing. To the left of the foyer, a columned entryway frames

The dining room, also framed by a columned entryway, is lit by a bay window with an upper pane of stained glass. Here is the most unique and special item in the house – a radiator that incorporates a warming oven. Food can be brought from the kitchen and kept warm for serving and second helpings. A butlers’ pantry provides extra storage, connecting the dining room to the kitchen.

Upstairs are four bedrooms; three have closets and the fourth opens onto a sleeping porch. A large closet in the hallway and an unfinished attic offer plenty of room for storage.

This one-of a-kind home also offers a generous backyard and is located in the 14621 neighborhood, adjacent to the magnificent Genesee River gorge and Seneca Park. The home is 1,733 square feet and is listed at $49,525. To experience 48 Strong St., call Bob Malone of Nothnagle Realtors at 585-733-7720.
