The senior housing bomb A national housing crisis is looming that has nothing to do with subprime mortgage loans or foreclosures. In New York alone, there are more than 3.5 million people over age 60 and another 1.2 million who will turn 60 within the next five years, according to a recent statement from US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. About 90,000 people in the second category live in the Rochester region. And many will sooner or later face a chilling question: Where can I afford to live? A growing need for low-cost senior housing and a political environment increasingly amenable to cutting
spending on social and entitlement programs are like two trains barreling toward each other. There are many reasons why affordable housing for seniors has become such a serious concern. Some have to do with the personal needs that come with aging, says Corinda Crossdale, director of Monroe County’s human services office for the aging. But a big reason, she says, is Baby Boomers, who are entering their retirement years and living longer.

Education starts at home
T.L. Fine missed the point (Feedback, February 22). Teachers are powerless to control disinterested and unruly “students.” They are in school because they are forced to be there. The damage that these “students” do is immeasurable, as there is no way to measure what kids who really want to learn are missing by the disruptive behavior of the troublemakers. I know Adam Urbanski is as distraught about the conditions in the Rochester school system as everybody else. What Mr. Fine does not stress is that preparing children for adulthood — and schools are only part of it — starts at home. The problem is the legislature that caves to any substantial voting block and cannot bring itself to do the right thing. Fortunately, the late-night comedy shows seem to bring some sanity to elected officials, witness the debacle in Virginia that for all practical purposes scuttled the VP aspirations of the governor. ALEX GONCAROVS, ROCHESTER
More police: help or harassment?
So the police department is deploying 30 officers and supervisors to focus on quality-of-life issues like loitering and panhandling. Whose quality of life? The quality-oflife people who have no place to go — the homeless? The quality-of-life people who are poor and don’t have enough to eat — the hungry? Seems Rochester would do better to deploy 30 social workers to rove the city’s streets and help these people find housing and food rather than 30 police to harass and arrest them.

limited financing and massive hype (“Port Won’t Be a Playground for the Rich,” February 22). That era has ended. Tell me what sane banker would lend the project developer or the potential buyer money for the proposed high-end housing at the port. This is just pure fiscal insanity. If any housing is built, it will turn out to be rentals subsidized by localstate-federal government. Has Rochester ever sold that many condos at one site.... and at Charlotte with the constant scent of rotting algae? The parking lot is a major asset for this valuable regional asset. It doesn’t need to be sold off for the benefit of a few at the expense of the masses that may want to access the beach. Why is the public sector building/heavily subsidizing a semi-private yacht basin? Again, this makes no economic or financial sense. We desperately need public investment at the port, but it must be economically and fiscally prudent for the whole region, not just a developer and a few yacht owners. ROCHESTER66

Debating Obama
Sorry, but the best thing (in fact, the only thing) that Obama has going for him that he’s not a Republican (“An Obama Win Won’t Be Enough,” News Blog, February 26). He is still a political novice even after three years in office. Oh well, we survived eight years of Reagan and eight years of Dubya. So I guess we can survive eight years of The One. Wake me up in four years. Hillary 2016! EMJAYEN
(Posted on rochestercitynews.com) “The best (in fact the only) thing that Obama has going for him that he’s not a Republican.” That is not an insignificant factor. What are the major gripes that liberals have against President Obama for not being liberal enough? He got some form of health care reform passed, ended the war in Iraq, and ended “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Now he’s pushing for necessary tax policy reform. What else do you want? BQE

Religion, Limbaugh, and America’s misogyny That we are having a debate about contraception in this day and age is astonishing. That contraception is the focus of a campaign for the presidency of the United States — and that the debate has taken on the tone it has — is appalling. At one level — the intersection of religion and women’s rights — the issue is complicated, and it’s likely to remain controversial among a pretty broad segment of Americans. At another level, the issue has unearthed an often quiet but still vibrant, and quite dangerous, streak of misogyny among some American men. The controversy started with the Catholic Church’s objection to a significant part of the Affordable Care Act: the requirement that all health insurance provide coverage for contraceptives. Even after the Obama administration provided a way for the insurance to cover contraceptives without the faith groups paying for it, religious leaders objected. They don’t want access to contraception made easier under their health-insurance plans, whether they pay for it or not. I have a lot of respect for the Catholic Church for its stand on human rights — and for its actions — in many areas. But on homosexuality, women’s rights, and pedophilia, the church’s position and actions have ranged from narrow-minded and backward at best to tragic and horribly destructive. The issue at this level is whether the Affordable Care Act’s contraception requirement is unconstitutional, an intrusion into religious freedom — whether left unchanged, it lets the federal government force a religious institution to violate its beliefs. Even the majority of American Catholics disagree with the church’s policy on contraception. And to continue to make contraception difficult to get because of its expense is to help impose a religious viewpoint on women. A majority in Congress — elected by voters — passed the health-care act to make health care more affordable and more available to more Americans. It doesn’t force people to use contraceptives if they don’t want to; it simply gives more people access to them less expensively. (And, by the way, exempting some religious institutions from federal requirements gives organized religion a special status, more important than individuals
To make contraception difficult to get because of its expense is to help impose a religious, repressive viewpoint on women. whose personal beliefs of conscience are equally deeply held: beliefs about paying taxes to support war, for example.) The act’s critics are also making a religious viewpoint more important than women’s health and their right to plan their future. One of the arguments raised recently is that for women, contraception is a “lifestyle” choice. So if women don’t want to run the risk of pregnancy, they can just abstain from sex — or trust the rhythm method and the regularity of their body. And if they become pregnant when they hadn’t meant to, they should consider this a blessing and raise the child regardless of their circumstances — or turn to adoption, as though pregnancy were a delight from beginning to end, comfortable and riskfree. As though bearing a child you weren’t able to keep was no more emotionally traumatic than buying and then returning a shirt that didn’t fit. Which meshes with the other level of this debate: a repressive attitude toward women. And that is that A) the role of women on earth is to bear children, whether they want to or not, and B) women who want sex for something other than procreation are, to use Rush Limbaugh’s words, sluts; a woman who wants access to contraceptives is promiscuous, immoral. That most of this uproar is being generated by men is not lost on many of us. In the Catholic Church, times will change. Some day, as the clergy hierarchy ages, doctrine will catch up with the faithful, on issues of homosexuality, women, celibacy in the priesthood, contraception. That day will be a long time coming, but it will come. Sadly, Rush Limbaugh’s atrocious outburst (and Republican politicians’ qualifying responses) shows that full respect for women will be a lot longer time coming.

Parents concerned about alternative school
The Rochester school district held a public meeting for parents and community members to provide input into the creation of an alternative high school. The new school would serve students currently enrolled in high schools that are being phased out due to low performance. Some students in those schools are at risk of not graduating, and the alternative school would offer intensive instruction to get them back on track. The school board tabled a vote on the new school at last month’s meeting.

Midtown’s demolition days are over

Many different agencies have jurisdiction over the Genesee River harbor and it creates confusion, a city official says. The city has hired a consultant to study the harbor’s issues and who is responsible for what. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK
Who’s in charge of the Rochester harbor? Everyone and no one. Several agencies and governments have claim to the Genesee River harbor, which is generally defined as the channel going up the Genesee River to the port in Charlotte, and extending south to Turning Point Park. The City of Rochester has legal jurisdiction, but so does Monroe County, the Coast Guard, the Army Corps of Engineers, and other bodies. “It’s all over the place,” says Mark Gregor, the city’s manager of environmental quality. “There’s no one entity that is looking out for the overall interest of the harbor. When things come up, it’s not clear who should be running with the ball.” That may change, however, with the development of a harbor management plan. The city has hired a consultant to look at the harbor’s unique issues while considering the different priorities of each agency that has some claim
to the harbor. That work was supposed to have begun last month and take approximately two years to complete. Gregor would not speculate on which agency or government could end up managing the harbor. The management plan could also call for the creation of a harbor master position. The job description could be quite broad, Gregor says, and cover a variety of shoreline and water activities. The master could also be responsible for marketing the port, managing events on the water, booking cruise ships, and coordination across state, local, and federal agencies, Gregor says. Gregor says the development of the management plan is important, considering the $30 million project planned for the Port of Rochester. The project includes high-end housing and a marina and could potentially bring much more activity to the port and the harbor.
If the property owner isn’t on board with the whole landmark thing — and it’s safe to say North American Breweries does not support this request — then three-fourths of the Planning Commission and Preservation Board must vote in favor to make 13 Cataract Street a landmark.

Hope for the brew house?
Occupy strikes back
If resident Carlos Mercado’s application to make Cataract Street’s old brew house a city landmark is approved, it may or may not stay the wrecking ball. As the Landmark Society’s Caitlin Meives points out, you can get a permit to demolish a designated landmark. North American Breweries wants to tear down the brew house — a visually impressive, historically significant building — so it can build a visitors’ center and other amenities on three parcels the company owns on Cataract Street. NAB’s plan has prompted an outcry from preservationists, some residents, and even some city officials. The first step in the landmark process is to get the city’s Preservation Board to vote to sponsor the application. The board will consider the proposal on March 7. If a majority of board members agree, the Preservation Board becomes the application’s sponsor through the designation process. The city’s Planning Commission must also review the nomination. And if the property owner isn’t on board with the whole landmark thing — and it’s safe to say North American Breweries does not support this request — then three-fourths of the Planning Commission and Preservation Board must vote in favor to make 13 Cataract Street a

POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE
Senate race is the focus of GOP convention Republicans from across the state will gather in Rochester for the GOP convention on Friday, March 16. Their main objective is to select a candidate to challenge incumbent Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Several Republicans are in the running. Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos declared his candidacy last year and has the backing of several downstate chairs. Conservative attorney Wendy Long, a former legal clerk for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has the backing of some influential Conservative Party leaders, including Monroe County’s chair, Tom Cook. Maragos and Long have been traveling around the state to shore up support. Last week, Rye Town Supervisor Joe Carvin also put himself in the running. In a letter to county Republican Party chairs, Carvin said he’ll put up $1 million of his own money and that he could raise far more. Republicans will tell you they’re looking for a candidate who appeals to the public: someone voters can relate to and who communicates easily with them. And they want someone that can take the fight to Gillibrand. “If the delegates do their job, we’ll select a candidate who represents the feeling of and the concerns of the citizens of New York,” says Monroe County GOP chair Bill Reilich. Reilich says candidates should devote the vast majority of their time to issues like Middle East policy, gas prices, jobs, and the economy. That’s what people in New York are focused on, he says.
Bill Nojay, a local conservative talk radio host, says voters are especially interested in candidate’ jobs platforms. But they’re skeptical, he says. New Yorkers have seen many politicians promise jobs that never came. Candidates’ history of producing jobs will matter, he says. In the capital, however, Republicans have spent considerable time attacking reproductive health and rights issues. They’ve tried to defund Planned Parenthood, and they’re fighting a policy that requires health insurers to cover contraceptives as preventative health care. Reilich and Nojay say that social issues won’t be major factors in the selection of a Senate candidate and in the New York campaign. But the chosen candidate and his or her platform will offer an indication of where the state Republican Party is headed. The state party has an identity crisis, Nojay says. The party is home to people who may be social liberals but fiscal conservatives, or others who are socially conservative and fiscally liberal, he says. Even Republicans in different regions of the state differ ideologically. In a broader sense, Northeastern Republicans have tended to be more moderate, at least on social issues, than their counterparts from other parts of the country. And that’s been true of the New York GOP. In Congress, the Republican Party’s core has been shifting to the right and has become increasingly unwilling to compromise. For New York Republicans, now may be
the time to ask whether they want candidates who are stick-to-their-guns conservatives or moderates who are willing to bend a little to reach consensus. Maine Senator Olympia Snowe recently announced that she’ll retire instead of seeking re-election, and she pegged the decision on lawmakers’ inability to reach consensus. She told the media that both parties are at fault. Snowe was seen as one of the Senate’s moderates and consensus builders, so her comments have fed into the narrative of a polarized capital. Regardless of the candidate, the race will be a heavy lift for Republicans. For starters, Democrats have a significant edge in statewide voter enrollment. The campaign will be expensive, so money is going to be a big factor. Gillibrand has $8.1 million in her account, according to Federal Elections Commission data. Maragos says he’ll spend $5 million of his own money. But the other candidates aren’t anywhere close to matching Gillibrand’s war chest. Nojay says that a candidate will probably have to spend $10 million to be viable and $15 million to be competitive. Reilich says the party is telling candidates to be prepared to raise $30 million or more. New York is a large state with several media markets; the New York City market alone is very costly.
And Gillibrand has another funding advantage: New York’s other senator, Democrat Chuck Schumer. The senior senator isn’t up for re-election this year, so he can transfer some of the $10 million in his campaign account to Gillibrand if needed. Both senators are known for their fundraising abilities.

Congressional redistricting roundup A federal magistrate judge released her congressional redistricting plan less than a week after Assembly and Senate leaders handed in their proposals. The magistrate’s plan came out on Tuesday, six days before it was due. Under all of the plans, Democrat Louise Slaughter’s infamous earmuffs district would become much more compact, and Monroe County would have two representatives, not the current four. All of the proposals put Slaughter, a Fairport resident, in the same district as Republican County Executive Maggie Brooks, who lives in Webster.

popular county executive has said she’d consider a run depending on what the new district looks like. Legislators could pass a plan, or a panel of federal judges could impose the magistrate’s plan. In a sense, the maps give local Republican and Democratic leaders something they wanted: a district centered in Monroe County. The judge’s plan places most of Monroe County into its own district, which would become the 25th Congressional District. Slaughter would be the incumbent in the district. Hamlin, Wheatland, Rush, and Mendon would be placed into a separate district, the
27th Congressional District, which sprawls to Erie and Niagara Counties. The Assembly majority plan splits Monroe between two districts, which would be renumbered the 24th and 25th Districts. The 24th would be a mostly rural district, taking in all of Wayne County, winding clockwise through Seneca County and into the central Southern Tier, coming back up through Wyoming County, into the towns on Genesee County’s eastern border, and into Sweden, Clarkson, Hamlin, Parma, and Greece. Republican Tom Reed would be the incumbent in the district
The 25th will cover the rest of Monroe County as well as part of Ontario County. Slaughter would be the incumbent in the district. The Senate majority plan is even simpler. It puts all but the southeast tip of Monroe County into one district. It would be numbered the 26th Congressional District. The 27th District, which would cover the county’s southeast tip, would also cover the Finger Lakes and part of the Southern Tier. Slaughter would be the 26th District incumbent and Reed would be the 27th District incumbent.

COVER STORY | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
THE SENIOR HOUSING BOMB Like many seniors, Christine Peck’s grandmother planned to use the proceeds from the sale of her home as a financial cushion as she aged. Peck says her grandmother thought that she would be able to live comfortably in a moderately-priced senior housing development in the Rochester area. But Peck’s grandfather died young, and her grandmother’s nest egg evaporated. Peck, assistant director of clinical services with Eldersource, says her 84-year-old grandmother’s $1,300 a month Social Security check doesn’t stretch far enough. Peck is one of her grandmother’s caretakers and has patched together a living arrangement that works. But she says it’s tenuous. “You’re always waiting for the crisis,” she says. Peck and her grandmother are not alone. Their situation is familiar to millions of Americans. A national housing crisis is looming that has nothing to do with subprime mortgage loans or foreclosures. In New York alone, there are more than 3.5 million people over age 60 and another 1.2 million who will turn 60 within the next five years, according to a recent statement from US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. About 90,000 in the second category live in the Rochester region. Many seniors will sooner or later face a chilling question: Where can I afford to live? A growing need for low-cost senior housing and a political environment increasingly amenable to cutting spending on social and entitlement programs are like two trains barreling toward each other. Peck says the cuts force organizations to become more resourceful, but she sees demand on a collision course with reductions in funding. Eldersource, a sort of one-stop source for guidance in elder care in Monroe County, is a partnership between Lifespan and Catholic Family Center. Peck says her office received more than 14,000 calls last year — many about housing — and they expect to exceed that number this year. And even if it isn’t the primary reason for the call, affordable housing usually enters into the conversation, Peck says. There are many reasons why affordable
housing for seniors has become such a serious concern. Some have to do with the personal needs that come with aging, says Corinda Crossdale, Monroe City
march 7-13, 2012
County’s director of human services for the aging. Safety precautions in the home, such as railings and fewer stairs, become important, she says. Proximity to shopping and medical care often becomes an issue, too, because many seniors either can’t drive or can’t afford the cost of owning a car. And many are extremely sensitive to inflation because they typically can’t increase their income through education or a better job. Still, the costs of almost everything around them, including housing, continue to rise. And all that’s without mentioning the Baby Boomers, Crossdale says, who are entering into their senior years in large numbers. And they’re living longer. The housing trend in caring for the elderly is to help them “age in place,” Crossdale says. Most seniors want to remain independent and live in their own home or apartment. It’s much less expensive to taxpayers than the cost of a nursing home, which is often partially or fully paid by Medicaid. And federal and state funding supports programs that make aging in place affordable for some seniors, Crossdale says. “There are many seniors who can stay in their homes with just a little bit of help, whether it’s with meals or light housekeeping,” she says. “Many people don’t have a family member nearby or caretaker who can help.” Programs like Expanded In-Home Services for the Elderly and Weatherization Referral can provide just enough assistance to make living at home possible, she says. But there are many variables. And understanding the housing options and services available often requires guidance, says Ann Marie Cook, president and CEO of

Lifespan of Greater Rochester. That’s one of the benefits of services like Eldersource. “It’s not just a matter of giving people information,” Cook says. “You have to know how to navigate the system. And you have to understand who is going to pay.” Crossdale and Cook work as a team, with funding coming through the county to help fund programs implemented by Lifespan. Cook says it helps to understand the various levels of senior housing, which brings the costs into focus. Many seniors simply don’t know what they can afford, she says. For instance, independent senior housing with services is typically seen as apartments with one or more support services, such as meals, housekeeping, laundry, or personal care. The general range for this type of senior housing is $2,000 to $4,000 per month in the Rochester area, and is usually paid for privately or through long-term care insurance. Enriched housing programs market a package of services that might include everything from meals to administering medication. Most enriched housing programs

in Monroe County require private payment, though there are exceptions. There are also adult homes, assisted living programs, and continuing care retirement communities, and they all have different payment requirements, ranging from private payment to a mix of private, Supplemental Security Income, Medicaid, and long-term care insurance. But even seniors with a modest pension and $30,000 to $100,000 in savings might find that the housing they were planning for their later years is too expensive. And if medical needs arise, as they often do with seniors, financial resources can be quickly depleted. And that has put an enormous strain on the availability of low-cost apartments for seniors, and there’s no indication things will improve anytime soon. The Rochester Housing Authority had 1,003 seniors apply for public housing — home and apartment buildings developed and managed through government funding — in 2011. And there are 1,244 seniors
on the waiting list, says Sandra Whitney, RHA’s director of public housing. Whitney estimates that there is a 16- to 18-month wait for about 1,500 mostly one-bedroom or studio apartments for seniors and disabled individuals. Some seniors are on a family wait list for larger apartments. Applicants have to be 50 years old or disabled to qualify for a unit, but they have to be 62 or older or disabled to qualify for discounted rent. The rent is based on 30 percent of the applicant’s gross income, and there are limits to the applicant’s income.

Spirits in the sky [ CHOW HOUND ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO
“We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel,” John Fanning says of the deceptively simple concept behind Cheshire, the striking cocktail spot he and his wife, Evvy, recently debuted above their Solera Wine Bar in the South Wedge. Cheshire focuses on the classics, drinks like Corpse Reviver No. 2, Aviation, and Death in the Afternoon, along with other timeless concoctions invented in the first half of the 20th century but enjoying a renaissance today thanks to the craft-cocktail movement. That’s not to say Cheshire isn’t putting its own spin on things; months of experimentation with different brands of liquors, freshly squeezed juices, and artisanal bitters have resulted in a cocktail list that is as familiar as it is inspired. Cheshire also features a few entirely original creations, like a rum-based cocktail named after Stringer Bell from “The Wire,” as well as its signature drink, the Cheshire Club, which blends vodka, single-malt scotch, ginger ale, and fresh lemon with a distinctive herbal liqueur called Riga Black Balsam in a nod to Evvy’s Latvian heritage. There are even some $4 virgin cocktails that should prove to be a welcome change for non-drinkers growing weary of their limited pop options. Fanning was arguably ahead of the Rochester curve when he opened Solera in the
fall of 2006, and when the space above became available last summer, he decided to realize his long-gestating idea for a craft cocktail bar, one that can also be used for private parties and wine tastings. And while the name of the place, in combination with its nifty hideout vibe and limited hours of operation, may conjure up a certain elusiveness, don’t expect to find some sort of pretentious hipster speakeasy on the other side of Cheshire’s retro riveted door. Fanning says that Cheshire’s aim is a low-key atmosphere similar to Solera’s that showcases well-made, interesting drinks. “We want to be the way bars used to be,” he says. Cheshire is located above Solera Wine Bar at 647 South Ave. Drink prices range from $4 to $9. It is open Friday 5 p.m.-midnight and Saturday 7 p.m.-midnight. For more information, call 232-3070 or visit Solera’s Facebook page.
Baklava and beyond
The petite dervish in black plunked down a miniature version of kok, made from sponge cake sandwiched with Bavarian cream and enrobed in chocolate, then she quickly whirled away. “You’ve got to try this,” Voula Katsetos-Stratton told me before zipping back to the counter to help the steady stream of people who have already discovered the adorable gem and lifelong dream that is Voula’s Greek Sweets.
Anyone with dietary restrictions, seasonal or otherwise, may want to explore the tasty loopholes — um, I mean alternatives — that tempt year-round at Open Face Sandwich Eatery. The Open Face bakehaus is currently making a vegan version of its famous split cookie (it’s half chocolate-chip and half chocolate chocolate-chip, $2 each) and a gluten-free PB&J, which is a lip-smacking peanut butter cookie dolloped with jam ($2.25 each). Co-owner Jared Valentine said I was welcome to pry the recipes from his cold, dead hand (I’m paraphrasing a little), but he assures me that anything taken out has been replaced with all-natural goodness. Open Face is located at 651 South Ave. For more information call 232-3050 or visit openfacesandwicheatery.com.
Sweet opportunity “I have always wanted to have my own place,” says Katsetos-Stratton, who learned to bake from the females in her family. Now she offers up generations of yummy knowledge in the former location of Lumiere Photo, transformed into a bright blue bakery named in honor of Katsetos-Stratton’s proud grandma. At Voula’s you will encounter a number of traditional Greek favorites, including baklava with almonds and walnuts ($3.50), KatsetosStratton’s heavenly take on chocolate-covered pourakia with dried cranberries ($2.25), as well as a selection of cookies ($9.95 per pound) like kourambiedes, an almond-butter cookie dredged in powdered sugar, and the lightly flavored koulourakia, sprinkled with sesame seeds and typically made during the Easter season. But Voula’s excels in the savory realm, too, offering spanakopita ($5), olives, cheeses, and house-made spreads like hummus ($4.75) and melitzanosalata ($4.75), a velvety puree of roasted eggplant, red pepper, onion, and garlic. Katsetos-Stratton suggests scooping the spreads up with pieces of lagana ($1 small/$2.50 large), a vegan Greek lenten bread (think focaccia meets pita) that will be available even after Lent, and also as part of the platters that Voula’s creates for catering clients. (Pastry trays, of course, are available as well.) A vegetarian herself, Katsetos-Stratton plans to soon offer meatless versions of pastitsio and moussaka, and though she does have help from

[ review ] by frank de blase
Spanning the sonic spectrum with material covering nearly 30 years, Jane’s Addiction nearly blew up the Auditorium Theatre Wednesday, February 29. The music was mondo intense — almost more intense than the performers at first — and proved why this band is one of the main progenitors of alternative rock, and still remains on top. Material from its most recent release, “Great Escape Artist,” was dished out liberally among the hits. The band opened with the new track “Underground” before diving into “Mountain Song,” which sent several in the audience into a panty-wetting frenzy. The stage set was a sexed-up Warhol carnival with live girls punctuated by cinematic ones. They must have been reading my mail. The sound was huge and, believe it or not, excellent. Overall it was a great show, and nice to see the band again after 20some years. Parked in — and steaming up — the Beale Street window on Saturday night, Gordon Munding’s The Crawdiddies served up some folkified bluesy shuffles. They were bolstered by the cardboard calamity and cadence of The Public Market Band’s Ernie O sitting in on box in lieu of Washboard Dave. Also known as Walkin’ Willie, Munding is a master at finger-style, bottleneck blues a la Hopkins, Hurt, and House. The Crawdiddies is a little less blue, with more of an uplifting melodic lilt. Still,

strength in a singular sound. But whether it’s bluesy rock, fancy folk, or back-roads country ballads, consistent execution of the same old sound can become, well, uninspiring. On the other hand, Jim Drew’s talents are seemingly inexhaustible. He has garnered critical recognition as a talent manager, producer, and originator of what his website calls “pizza rock” — a filling phonic pie “topped with just about everything in the house. Some of it’s hot, some sweet, some spicy, some cheesy, but it’s all delicious.” — BY DAVID YOCKEL JR.

you couldn’t keep the blues down for too long, as Munding relegated to coaxing the sounds out of his chrome dance partner. Pure, simple, beautiful music. You can take the boy out of Boneyard, but you can’t take the Boneyard out of the boy. Ex-Boneyard frontman JJ Lang debuted his new band Saturday night at Pineapple Jack’s. Lang claims he was sick and losing his voice, but I thought he sounded great with a sort of apocalyptic, Southern-rock feel as he pinned notes in the upper register sans falsetto. Lang’s new band wove through some new originals and set the tone for what is going to be force to be reckoned with, and listened to. Purple-haired princess Melia followed with a blistering set, including several originals I can’t get out of my head. Everyone raves about her guitar playing, but the gal can really sing and treat a song right. Her guitar tone was a little thin, however. For all the shredding she does, I’d like to hear her guitar louder and fatter. Speaking of loud and fat, the Sex Slaves put bass and guitar cabinets on both sides of the stage. It was a positively sick and crisp mix, like a GTO with twicepipes fired up relentlessly through tube amps. Tight, ballsy rock ’n’ roll you could almost call punk if the trio exhibited any actual flaws. It did not.

picture a band getting together you envision loud noodling, that can eventually lead to something resembling music. Picture a rock band. Now picture a rock band called The Filthy McNasty’s. Now picture this rock band studying musical theory together. “It was actually a lot of fun,” says O’Loughlin. “We sat down and went over scales and chords. So we have a basis of language. It’s a lot easier to communicate now because before we were speaking different languages.” “We learned everything together from the ground up,” Rick says. “It’s had a profound effect on what we’ve written since then.” The band’s ironically titled debut, “Last

As McNasty as they wanna be Filthy McNasty’s w/Turning Colors, Driftwood Sailors Saturday, March 10 Montage Music Hall, 50 Chestnut St. 8 p.m. | $5 | themontagemusichall.com [ PROFILE ] By Frank De Blase
I think people sometimes confuse “new” with “original.” The Filthy McNasty’s doesn’t exactly do anything new. The group plays blues-based rock with a dash of soul and a funky punch. And there’s a reason this style endures; it’s musical comfort food. However, with the McNasty’s in the kitchen, the meatloaf is made with gunpowder. This band is fiercely original as it bangs on the genre’s guard rails. “We didn’t set out to sound like anybody,” says singer Jackson Rick. “We just wanted to play what was good for us. You can try and try and try and you just miss out on being you.” Comparisons could be made to the Allman Brothers, except the McNasty’s serves up rock ‘n’ roll in vignettes, and doesn’t drag songs out until you feel like you’ve actually been tied to the whipping post. The Filthy McNasty’s formed five years ago,
after Rick and bassist Tom O’Neill found themselves adrift without a band. “He was in a death-metal band,” says Rick. “I was in a cover band. Those projects fizzled and I said, ‘Hey man, haven’t we always wanted 14 City march 7-13, 2012
to do a blues-rock ’n’ roll project together?’ And he was like, ‘Hell yeah.’” The band quickly came to include Rick, O’Neill, Bryan Veneron (percussion and harmonica), Gregg Cole (slide guitar), Ryan O’Loughlin (drums), Joseph Werner (guitar), and Frankie Favasuli (keyboards). The sound dictated the size. “We started with the idea it was just going to be bass, drums, singer, guitar,” says O’Neill. “And that was it.” “But then we just said, ‘How can we best fill out the sound?”’ Rick says. “We kept hearing about all these cats that were great and trying new stuff.” So according to Rick, the band started making more room. With everyone in place the band began to focus its direction. A few drummers came and went (as drummers do) and then the musically educated O’Loughlin arrived. He knew the particulars; he could read the dots. “Ryan was the catalyst for change,” Rick says. It was “growing up; not just getting in there and making a whole bunch of noise.” In order to tackle the music they loved, the band members all needed to take it a little more seriously. They met O’Loughlin in the middle. “It’s funny,” says O’Loughlin. “I joined the band because I had been taking music too seriously. I had been going to school for music [performance and studio production] and I needed to have some fun. I started playing with these guys and I said, ‘I’ve never had so much fun.’” His McNasty homeboys brought the fun, he brought the book-learning. When you
Stand,” is a rocking platter that comes close to recreating The Filthy McNastiness laid down live. Rick’s smoky pipes get rung out from his perch center stage. There are polyrhythmic underpinnings to Vernon and O’Loughhlin’s playing even when they give it the straightahead freight-train treatment. O’Neill brings the walking thunder, and the savage see-saw comes courtesy of Cole and Werner’s twinguitar aggression. The band is anxious to launch its new project, “It Takes a Village,” which will show off how the band’s sound has firmed up and gotten a little deeper. The members attribute that to everyone contributing in the writing and arranging. “Each song comes from somewhere else,” O’Loughlin says. “There’s a lot more groove,” Rick says. “There’s a lot more funk. There’s a lot more story to the songs. We dig into bigger issues. In the lyrics I got real personal. I went through a lot this past year and I wrote it all out. Everything from the desire to escape to the frustrations of trying to make a relationship work. I really dug down. It’s fun, but it comes from a very deep place.” The band plans on hitting the road this spring and summer, driven by its desire to entertain and create. Rick reminisces about the early days when the band had completed its first few songs. “Finishing those songs was the greatest feeling ever,” he says. “We took something where there was originally nothing and created something new. And whatever space there was, was filled up with what we made. That’s what’s driven us since then…that sense of achievement.” “We’re going to take it as far as our 14 legs will take us,” O’Neill says. “Yeah,” seconds O’Loughlin. “Like a Filthy McNastapede.”

JAM | Dangermuffin
Dangermuffin saunters into town from Folly Beach, South Carolina, with a smooth, folk-rock sound straight from sandy shores offering so much more than run-of-the-mill jam sessions. The mighty, original melodies created by Nashville veteran percussionist Steven Sandifer and guitarist Mike Sivilli captivate anyone who enjoys getting lost in an infectious groove, while lyrics by Dan Lotti frame Dangermuffin tunes with more than enough substance for those who need a little something to hold onto over improvisational chasms. The group is already developing a reputation on the festival circuit, and its latest release bears the title “Moonscapes.” That’s apropos, since the album paints an ethereal, sublime portrait.

CITY NEWSPAPER
FREAK FOLK | Viking Moses
Keeping with the Viking Moses tradition, “The Conquest Night” — a new project set to be released March 13 at the Bug Jar — tells a narrative tale. Two adolescents break curfew to explore the twilight dangers of their rural town and their own innocent, nascent love. It’s a tale that lends itself to the kind of music VM mastermind Brendan Messai creates: dark, playfully ominous, yet hopeful and celebratory in the face of the unknown. Messai keeps a rotating cast of musicians, sometimes scraping a band together ad hoc to deliver an unconventional, soulful musical experience that hovers joyously between rock concert and Appalachian tent revival singing the gospel of shady characters and fragile, beautiful humanity.

Running away with the spoon “The Little Dog Laughed” Through March 17 Blackfriars Theatre, 795 E. Main St. $27 | 454-1260, bftix.org [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK
Just a glimpse of John Haldoupis’s set for “The Little Dog Laughed” gives you a surprisingly thorough roadmap to the show. A Hollywood red carpet flows into a hotel room, where it bisects a bed before continuing on to the iconic billboards of New York City. It’s a compact, efficient solution for the many settings included in the script by Douglas Carter Beane, who was nominated for a Best Play Tony in 2007 for this show, and also wrote the books for the Broadway musical versions of “Xanadu” and “Sister Act.” The current production at Blackfriars, directed by David Runzo, is a smart, funny show featuring a smart, funny cast in a tricky, intriguing predicament. The play revolves around Mitchell Green, an up-and-coming Hollywood actor who is accepting an industry award in New York along with his agent, Diane. 18 City march 7-13, 2012
Mitchell is on the precipice of breaking out, but he has a little problem: he’s a repressed homosexual with a fondness for rent boys. While in a drunken stupor, Mitchell hires Alex the hustler, but passes out before they do anything. Alex has some identity issues of his own. He identifies as straight; he just messes around with guys to pay the bills. His girlfriend, Ellen, is in a similar scenario: the older British author whose gold she had been digging has unceremoniously dumped her. Meanwhile, Diane discovers a play that could turn Mitchell into a star. But it’s about two men in love, and while that’s “brave” for a straight actor, it’s “bragging” for a publicly out gay man, so Diane must keep Mitchell stuffed firmly in the closet. Beane’s script is packed with great zingers and some surprisingly insightful truths about men, modern love, and Hollywood. It’s clearly written by someone who knows and loves show business, but who has also seen how the celebrity sausage is really made. The result is an often sweet picture surrounded by cutting cyanide edges. The four actors in the show range from good to excellent. Jamal Abdunnasir makes a subtle but winning
transformation in the role of Alex. It’s a male variation of the classic hookerwith-a-heart-of-gold motif (well, at least a heart of gold-plate in this case), and Abdunnasir does a good job grappling with the ethical dilemmas inherent in the role. As Mitchell, Marc D’Amico, known primary for his comedy work with local improv troupes Unleashed! and ManShee Chronicles, turns in a strong dramatic performance. He oozes that gross L.A. charm in his pitch meeting with the unseen playwright, and just about loses his mind when his various worlds intersect. Truly, though, it’s the women who get the meatiest work in this script. Mary Tiballi’s Ellen is an unending source of surprises. At first she seems like a stereotypical party girl, but through her various monologues to the audience (a technique that can come off as lazy writing, but works here since it is deployed so consistently) she reveals real depth. There’s a moment where it appears that she’s about to go to a very dark place, but instead ends up sweetly vulnerable. She also maximizes the comedic potential in basically every line she’s given. Kerry Young is, simply put, awesome. Her Diane dominates the show ruthlessly, efficiently, and hilariously. It’s a character that ostensibly we should hate, but it’s impossible not to admire the skill and strategy she deploys. Young understands exactly what makes this character tick. There are flashes of the naiveté that was beaten out of her by the star-making machine, true desperation when her project seems to be falling apart, and even a few furtive glimpses at the personal life sacrificed for The Biz. And just when you start to feel sorry for her, she pulls out another scorching diatribe, but always in that poison-honey voice and blatantly fake smile. It’s terrific work all around from her. In truth, the show on opening night only had one minor hiccup. About mid-way through Act I it occurred to me that with a script this strong, and with actors this good, the proceedings should have been snappier. It certainly wasn’t bad; it just felt like the connections were not being fully made. I think the issue was in the pacing, specifically in the hotel scenes between Alex and Mitchell. There is a natural awkwardness to those moments, but they tended to be lower energy compared to the rest of the proceedings — which is odd, given the recipe for smart, sexy chemistry. As soon as that relationship gelled, the show regained its footing. Note that Blackfriars has made the Thursday, March 8, performance a pay-whatyou-can show. Curtain is at 7:30 p.m.

ART | American Celtic Art Show
The various tribes of Celtic peoples once spanned Europe before being pushed to poverty at the western-most edges, and their descendents and residual traditions are now found in Ireland, Scotland, the Isle of Man, Wales and Cornwall in Great Britain, Brittany in France, and Galicia in Spain. The Celts’ brutal and intriguing history goes far beyond the annual American-Irish pride festivities, and deserves far more attention than it gets. From Friday, March 9, through Saturday, March 31, you can experience some remnants of Celtic culture at the American Celtic Art Show, to be held in Walker Metalsmiths Gallery, the space neighboring Walker’s Celtic Jewelry (140 Packets Landing, South Main Street, Fairport). Traditional and innovative Celtic art forms will be featured, and scenes of fantastical creatures exhibited. Featured American Celtic artists include Steve O’Loughlin, Cynthia Matyi, Patrick Gallagher, Jen Delyth, Michael Carroll, Lisa Laughy, Alec MacCrea, and Ed Rooney, who express their contemporary ideas through the essence of traditional Celtic style and art forms. An opening reception will be held Friday, March 9, 5-8 p.m., at which MacCrea will demonstrate his woodcarving skills. The Monroe County Ancient Order of Hibernians, in conjunction with McCormack Productions Inc., has created a 19”x27” full color “American Celtic Art Show” poster, which will be sold at $10 each to benefit the Irish Children’s Program of Rochester, which sponsors the visitation of an equal number of Catholic and Protestant children from Belfast, Northern Ireland to the greater Rochester area each summer to teach “peace through understanding.” For more information on the show and its history, visit contemporaryamericanceltic.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY of art and music.” Visit site for hours. thegrassrootsgallery.com.

FILM | Women’s History Month Film Series
Amid all of her other struggles, Susan B. Anthony fought hard for women’s admission as students to the University of Rochester, which was awarded in 1905. So it’s fitting that the school houses not one but two institutions that bear her name and carry her legacy, and that they hold an annual film series during Women’s History Month which seeks to continue dialogue about women’s progress in the United States and the world. Each Wednesday and the last Sunday in March, at 7 p.m., a film will be screened from the Passionate Representations: Women’s History Month Film Series. On March 7, “Women Art Revolution” will be shown at Hoyt Auditorium (UR River Campus). On March 14, “Afghan Star” will be screened at the Little Theatre (240 East Ave.), followed by “Mother: Caring for 7 Billion” (pictured) at Hoyt Auditorium on March 21. On March 28, view “Miss Representation” at the Little, and on Sunday, March 31, ““Girl’s POV: Shorts” will be screened at the Little. Tickets are $5 for screenings at the Little, and admission is free at UR screenings.

THEATER | “I Got Sick Then I Got Better”
Overcoming a major illness is a tremendous challenge in itself, and that’s not even considering the medical bills that can pile up along the way. As they say, laughter is the best medicine. This week Geva Theatre Center will bring in author and performer Jenny Allen to share her one-woman show “I Got Sick Then I Got Better.” Through the comedic piece, Allen — who has been published in The New Yorker, The New York Times, and other major media outlets — will detail her cancer diagnosis, treatment, and her way to wellness. Expect a show that’s both poignant and witty as it takes on the personal and familial fallout from a life-threatening illness. The show runs on the Geva Theatre Nextstage (75 Woodbury Blvd.). on Wednesday, March 7, at 7 p.m., Thursday at 7 p.m., Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 3 & 8 p.m., and Sunday at 3 p.m. Tickets start at $30.

“Apiphobia (Bees)” by Anonda Bell is part of the “Paper: On and Off the Wall” exhibit at Brockport’s Tower Fine Arts Gallery. PHOTO PROVIDED
The artifice of order “The Omega Suites”/ “Paper: On and Off the Wall” Through May 20 Tower Fine Arts Gallery, SUNY Brockport, 180 Holley St., Brockport. Free | 395-2805, brockport.edu/ finearts Mon-Fri 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Sun 1-4 p.m. [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
Two very different shows recently opened at Brockport’s Tower Fine Arts Gallery. Divided by a small gallery partition are a trio of talented artists in “Paper: On and Off the Wall,” and Lucinda Devlin’s “The Omega Suites,” which is a series of photographic portraits of execution chambers, final holding cells, and witness viewing rooms. 22 City march 7-13, 2012
The pairing of these shows seems disparate, but an intriguing contrast and comparison emerges between the cold, clinical bleakness of death-bythe-state, and the warm wonder of exploring our fascinating and often frightening natural world. Upon entering the gallery, viewers first encounter the paper show, which features a few works each by New York- and New Jersey-based Anonda Bell, Brooklyn-based Lauren Clay, and Tennessee-based Charles Clary. Each of Bell’s striking cut-and-paintedpaper wall installations is named with a Latin term for various conditions of terror inspired by insects and arachnids, and allude to “the motivations, desires, and innate qualities of the human mind,” per the provided statement. “Entomophobia (Insects)” is a twisting swarm of oversized, detailed, stained-glass-windowesque wings. The following three works — “Apiphobia (Bees),” “Arachnophobia (Spiders),” and “Myrmecophobia (Ants)” — each include
a life-sized human form amid the respective swarms, standing firmly or cowering as the bugs overtake them. Lauren Clay’s two works are made of shimmering acrylic hues on cut paper, papiermâché, wire, wood, plaster, and gauze. “Blameless Sage, Diadem,” is an incredibly detailed sherbetspectrumed wreath of paper bound into an oversized crown, with pine cones hanging downward, and blue and green crystals bound within the pine fronds. “Impossible Undoing” is a smaller, shimmery and epic bound paper wreath, with bulbous pink berries on stalks and green crystal shards. These mystical works allude to a sterilized version of earthly beauty, while the fragile materials note the impermanence of our efforts to control wild nature. Charles Clary’s work, which I first viewed at hifructose.com, includes three wall-mounted, acrylic-on-hand-cut-paper works that resemble 3D topographical maps, viral colonies, or concentric sound waves. Two stacked paper works, “Flambiotic Pandemic” and “Flameobic Opulation,” are mounted to skeletal, cut-panel bases, with intricate and colorful layers changing from dark to light as altitude rises toward peaks. The latter, larger work exists along two walls that meet at a corner, forming a large community of hollow, strip-mined island towers, or the visible innards of ant colonies. “Patiflasmic Diffusion” follows the same process, except the concentriclayered spaces are pits sunk into neighboring wooden cubes and rectangles. “These strange land masses contaminate and infect the surfaces they inhabit, transforming the space into something suitable for their gestation,” says Clary in his provided statement. The artist means to be playful in his examination of like forms, but it’s easy to draw connections between viral colonies and human habits on the earth.
doctors and officials performing state-sanctioned homicide that this resembles a crucifixion. In my mind capital punishment is a person dying for the sins of society; I imagine an unsupported, lifeless head dropping to the chest after the chemical cocktail has done its work, a familiar posture from many a Renaissance painting. Of particular interest are details in the witness rooms, revealing last moments with artificial light and unseen strangers bearing willing and intimate witness to the end of another human’s life. In these, Devlin has placed her audience in the position of those viewers. We peer at the prisoner’s position through glass and from behind rows of wooden church pews on linoleum in “Electric Chair Witness Room” at the Diagnostic and Processing Center in Jackson, Georgia. It’s the same facility where Troy Davis was executed by lethal injection last September, despite new evidence of his innocence and international outcry for a fourth stay of execution and overturning of his sentence. The gas chamber at Maryland State Penitentiary in Baltimore is an angular room with riveted metal around the windows within a larger, linoleum-floored room, behind a guard rail for viewers. I’m certain this familiar space has been used in TV and film executions. Somehow more terrifying is the gas chamber at Arizona State Prison, in Florence, with its claustrophobic metal pod, wheel-locking door, and tiny viewing windows on either side of the capsule. The only non-institutional vision of death in the bunch is “Gallows,” taken at the Department of Corrections in Smyrna, Delaware, in 1991. Devlin captured this lonely concrete yard, surrounded by wood and corrugated steel shelters, the gallows a wood tower with a staircase, and an open trap door to a quick drop.
On the far side of the dividing wall is Lucinda
way, with the human struggle to create order from the wilderness of life. Bell’s work speaks of the inability to compartmentalize threats, or the fear of them. Clay’s shadows of the natural world become barren and opulent ornamentation. Clary’s clean examination of organic, concentric colonies mimic our need to dominate and structure the world to maximum usefulness. And Devlin’s images speak of our barbaric, ineffective modes of dealing with the symptoms, while ignoring the causes, of society’s ills. In her sparse works, Devlin leaves plenty of room for viewers — like the prisoners — to meditate upon the meaning of all of this. I struggled with the implications on the value of individual lives, when mass atrocities committed by those at the top go unanswered and unstopped, and the desperate actions of some at the bottom earn capital punishment. In our eagerness to wipe out that which does not fit our desired version of order, we too often condemn innocents to their end, or miss the chance to learn from and actually rehabilitate those whose lives have run astray.
Devlin’s daunting meditation on the “Omega,” or final days and environs of those on death row. Between 1991 and 1998, Devlin gained permission to photograph penitentiaries in 20 states, and captured the empty, harshly lit rooms and modes of execution. Many of the lethalinjection chambers are stark white, hospital-esque spaces, rhetorically named “correctional facilities,” attempting to translate murder to something medicinal. But the lethal-injection chamber at Idaho State Penitentiary in 1997 Boise has strangely homey feel with wood-paneled walls, and out-of-place Plexiglas between the padded table and the carpet. Devlin’s striking, sparse images allow the willing imaginations of viewers to interact with symbolic details within the pictures, such as a clock and its reverse-time reflection in the witness’s window. The 1991 lethal-injection chamber at Territorial Correction Facilities in Cannon City, Colorado, holds an upright padded table, the restrained arms jutting out to the sides, leading me to wonder if it has crossed the minds of

THEATER | “Imagining Madoff”
The story of Ponzi-scheme orchestrator Bernie Madoff is one of greed and utter disregard for others. The story of “Imagining Madoff,” which will be performed at JCC CenterStage (1200 Edgewood Ave.) March 10-25, is one of the blind trust we give to others with regards to our wealth, livelihoods, and futures. The controversial play isn’t based on research about Madoff. Instead, author Deborah Margolin crafted fictional work in which audiences meet Madoff in jail as he manipulates a biographer, witness his executive secretary testifying before the Securities and Exchange Commission, and go back in time to a private meeting with a character based on Nobel Laureate, Holocaust survivor, and Madoff victim Elie Wiesel. Performances take place Saturdays, March 10, 17, and 24 at 8 p.m., Sundays, March 11, 18, and 25 at 2 p.m., and Thursdays, March 15 and 22 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $24, $26 for reserved seating, and $18 for students.

The SEALs against the terrorists [ REVIEW ] by George Grella
“Act of Valor” (R), directed by Scott Waugh and Mouse McCoy Now playing
Waging what most of the populace regards as pointless and unnecessary wars in the Middle East for more than 10 years now, the nation presumably receives some dubious comfort, perhaps even absolution, from official reports of the heroism of its all-volunteer military. Such accounts would probably provide more consolation if they had not been robbed of meaning by the disgusting media distortions of
the Jessica Lynch “rescue” or the fraudulence of the Pentagon’s treatment of Pat Tillman’s death in Afghanistan. Whatever the validity of the cause, however, courage remains the true coin of service, a rare and precious resource spent profligately by politicians who exact it from the young. The latest cinematic exploration of the work of the military, “Act of Valor,” graphically demonstrates the actions of a platoon of specialoperations troops in a series of connected combat situations. One of the movie’s singular distinctions, trumpeted by the publicity people, involves its cast of fighters, not actors but actual active-duty Navy SEALs. Along with the director’s technique, that cast obviously gives the film a powerful sense of authenticity. From beginning to end “Act of Valor” proceeds very much like a documentary, concentrating heavily on a subject that American cinema generally handles better than anyone else, sheer mechanical process. Whenever the location changes — and it jumps abruptly from San Diego to the Philippines to Somalia to Mexico

to Costa Rica and so forth — the screen shows a satellite map of the particular place, with a window in one corner enumerating longitude and latitude, and even the local temperature. The director also employs a great many sequences using a hand-held camera, often with subjective shots from the point of view of various members of the SEALs, in effect embedding the viewer inside the platoon, moving with the fighters, chasing enemies, peering through their night-vision goggles, looking through their gun sights, aiming their weapons, dodging bullets and grenades. The immediacy of the technique continues the documentary feel of the film and suggests not only the confusion and chaos of armed combat, but also something of its excitement and even exhilaration. The major plot of the film begins with two intercut sequences, showing two very different vehicles, an ice-cream truck and a Mercedes limousine, traveling through the streets of Manila. They both meet on the campus of an American school, where the students crowd around the truck to buy ice cream and the limo brings the American ambassador to pick up his son. The truck driver scurries away, while his assistant detonates a suicide bomb, an act that launches all the combat operations and bloodshed of the movie. As the movie shifts around from place to place, it reveals a collaboration between two villains, one an Islamic terrorist, Abu Shabat (Jason Cottle), and the other a drug kingpin, Christo (Alex Veadov). The first major operation of the SEAL team requires

them to rescue a CIA agent, Lisa Morales (Roselyn Sanchez), from Christo’s heavily guarded compound in Central America, where she is being tortured. That mission depends on an immensely complicated coordination of advanced technology, involving computers, satellite communication, a drone launched like a model airplane, parachute jumps, helicopters, swift boats, and good old pick-up trucks; violent and terrifically exciting, it sets the tone for all the other firefights that follow. The climactic action occurs in Mexico, where the SEALs must prevent Christo’s men, assisted by a powerful drug cartel, from smuggling a group of Shabat’s terrorists across the border, where they will deploy to various major cities and blow up themselves and everything near them with special explosive vests. The designer of the vests, whose wearers pass through security gates undetected, promises that their explosions will make 9/11 look like child’s play. “Act of Valor” works extremely well on a technical level, providing a convincingly authentic representation of an elite force that has accomplished a number of remarkably successful missions, including most spectacularly, the assassination of Osama Bin Laden. At the same time, perhaps unavoidably, it falls into the stereotypical patterns and even the self-regarding sentimentality of so many war movies. The film ultimately works best as an exciting full-length recruiting poster for the SEALs, who will undoubtedly find their pool of applicants expanding exponentially.
Sometimes, in Frederick Wiseman’s playful, absorbing “Crazy Horse,” people take their clothes off on a stage while other people pay money to sit in front of them and watch it happen. Just who might be exploiting whom in this transaction is an eternally contested question, but a discussion for another time. Because a documentary shouldn’t be about passing judgment; ideally, it’s about bearing witness and having faith that we as viewers can process what we see in our own varied, unique ways. And perhaps more than any other documentarian, Wiseman lets his subjects tell their own stories; no expository voiceovers, no direct interviews, no edits with obvious agendas. Truthfully, his extended, organic takes can feel dull, but after making dozens and dozens of acclaimed nonfiction films, you
can trust that the 82-year-old Wiseman knows what he’s doing. In his latest film, Wiseman explores what’s entailed in mounting a production at the Crazy Horse in Paris, since 1951 arguably the most famous nude cabaret in the world. We observe creative tête-à-têtes among the staff as they bring their halfsexy/half-tacky show “Désirs” to life, and we sit in on exasperating meetings in which we learn that even the business of pleasure can be at the mercy of the shareholders. And of course we see acres of curvy flesh; the women of the Crazy Horse, with their small breasts and juicy derrieres, are virtually identical from the neck down. But these women are dancers in the most artistic and athletic senses of the words, and Wiseman takes them as seriously as he did the ballerinas in his 2009 piece “La Danse: The Paris Opera Ballet.” Despite the differences in personality between the Crazy Horse’s no-nonsense director/choreographer and its creepily excitable artistic director, there’s no tangible conflict for us to become vested in, and over a period of 134 minutes without dramatic involvement you may find your mind wandering. Wiseman concentrates on the surprisingly fascinating minutiae, the crucial details we might not otherwise think about, such as the wigmaker, the photographer, the guys who bucket the Champagne, and whoever designs the Crazy Horse’s precise, luscious lighting. Wiseman shows us much of the final product, but we also get a peek at the young dancers who aspire to be part of Le Crazy as they audition for the renowned revue, their instructions perhaps apt advice for life: “Be pretty, classy, relaxed. Don’t stress out. And stick out your buttocks.” There are coming-of-age films in which

the protagonist is confused about his or her sexuality. And then there are coming-
of-age films in which our hero/ine is completely clear-eyed when it comes to sexual preference; the problem is that those around them don’t have the same level of comfort. Writer-director Dee Rees’ gritty, moving feature debut “Pariah” is the latter, chronicling the proverbial journey of a 17-year-old lesbian named Alike (Adepero Oduye). She’s dressed in a gender-neutral manner as “Pariah” opens, trying to talk to girls at the club with her best friend Laura (Pernell Walker), but once the evening winds down, Alike ditches her androgynous look to wriggle uncomfortably into a tight, sparkly babytee, and we understand that things are much different around her family. Alike’s controlling mother Audrey (a very good Kim Wayans in a thankless role) is vexed by her eldest daughter’s tomboy look, while her father (the slightly wooden Charles Parnell) prefers to not to think about such things, obviously juggling secrets of his own. It’s Audrey’s plan to get Alike to spend time with Bina (Aasha Davis), the seemingly straightlaced daughter of a churchgoing friend, leading to the biggest clichéd slip-up of the mostly honest script. The mismatched pair become close in ways that Audrey certainly hadn’t intended, and Bina comes across as more of a one-dimensional plot device rather than a fully realized human. “Pariah” is anchored by the wonderful Oduye, who delivers a vulnerable performance of such grace and sensitivity that it helps to make up for supporting characters that feel undercooked, like the heartbreaking Laura, whose intriguing arc Rees seems to abandon. But Rees’ semiautobiographical script can’t help but smack of profound authenticity, from the homophobia that hides behind religion, to the resentful marital dynamic, to the unconditional bond between sisters, blood and otherwise.

134 Versailles Road One look at 134 Versailles and it’s clear that this house is different. In a good way. Unique architectural detailing suggests that this house may have been designed by an architect when it was built in 1929. While most of its neighbors are handsome examples of bungalows or Colonial Revival style houses, 134 Versailles is a distinctive twist on the Tudor Revival style. The house makes a bold statement with a textured stucco exterior and an arched front door, topped by decorative brickwork that radiates out like bold rays of sunlight, drawing the eye and visitors inward. Another feature that sets this house apart: a proliferation of steel casement windows. Although the windows require basic maintenance and might at first seem daunting to the prospective homeowner, they are a superb feature, providing loads of natural light and character inside and out.
back with large windows at each end. A sunroom leads to an open and peaceful back porch. The dining room is well lit with two sets of windows. At the rear of the house is a large kitchen that leads to a back door, the basement, and a half bath with the original tile and sink. On the way to the second floor, an enormous window floods the stairway landing with light. Each of the four bedrooms have closets (two even have closets with windows!). A small hallway with built-in cabinets connects the master bedroom to a rear bedroom where a marvelous sleeping porch provides treetop views of the neighborhood. The unfinished attic offers huge potential for storage or living space.
The front doorway opens to an entrance vestibule with a tile floor and coat closet. Passing through a leaded glass door, the entrance opens to a central foyer with a staircase straight ahead, the living room to the left, and the dining room to the right. Hardwood floors, unpainted woodwork, and doors with glass knobs are found throughout the home.
134 Versailles is listed at $129,000 and is 2,176 square feet. It is located in a treelined family neighborhood in the northeast section of the city, nestled between Seneca Park two blocks to the west and the Irondequoit town line to the east. The house sits on an attractive lot with a driveway, single car garage, and a private backyard. This personality-filled home awaits a new owner who appreciates being different and can provide a little TLC. For more information contact Nothnagle realtor Oktay Kocaoglu at 585-507-6541 or visit the open house on March 11.

[ rehabilitating mr. wiggles ] BY neil swaab
[ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD Newspapers in Sweden reported in January that two of the country’s most heinous murderers apparently fell in love with each other behind the locked doors of their psychiatric institution and, following a 26-day Internetchat “courtship,” have decided to marry. Mr. Isakin Jonsson (“the Skara Cannibal”) was convicted of killing, decapitating and eating his girlfriend, and Michelle Gustafsson (“the Vampire Woman”) was convicted of killing a father of four and drinking his blood. Said the love-struck Jonsson (certainly truthfully), to the newspaper Expressen, “I have never met anyone like (Michelle).” The pair will almost certainly remain locked up forever, but Gustafsson, on the Internet, wrote that she hopes they will be released, to live together and “have dogs and pursue our hobbies, piercing and tattoos.”
Compelling Explanations — In December, music teacher Kevin Gausepohl, 37, was charged in Tacoma, Wash., Municipal Court with communicating with a minor for immoral purposes, allegedly convincing a 17-year-old female student that she could sing better if she tried it naked. Gausepohl later told an investigator of his excitement about experimenting at the “human participant level” to determine how sexual arousal affects vocal range. The girl complied with “some of” Gausepohl’s requests, but finally balked and turned him in. — Thinking Outside the Box: (1) Rock Dagenais, 26, pleaded guilty recently to weapons charges after creating a siege by bringing a knife, a sawed-off rifle and 100 rounds of ammunition to a Quebec elementary school. He eventually surrendered peacefully and said
he was only trying to send the kids a message not to disrespect each other by bullying. (2) Daniel Whitaker has been hospitalized in Indianapolis ever since, in November, he drove up the steps of the Indiana War Memorial with a gun, gasoline and an American flag, and set the steps on fire. In an interview in December, he told WRTV that he was only trying to get everyone’s attention so they would think of Jesus Christ and “love each other.” — Ghosts in the News: (1) Michael West, 41, of Fond du Lac, Wis., at first said his wife hurt herself by falling, but finally acknowledged that she was attacked -- but by ghosts, not by him. (He was charged, anyway, in January.) (2) Anthony Spicer, 29, was sentenced in January in Cincinnati after being discovered at an abandoned school among copper pipes that had been cut. He denied prosecutors’ assertions that he was collecting scrap metal -- because he said he was actually looking for ghosts, since the school “is supposed to be haunted.”
Least Competent Spies In Plain Sight: The embarrassing disclosure in November by the Lebanon-based terrorist organization Hezbollah, of the CIA’s major clandestine operations in Beirut, likely resulted in the deaths of more than a dozen anti-Hezbollah CIA “assets,” according to ABC News reports. Among the details made public by Hezbollah was that it learned of the agents’ meetings with the potential “assets” (which took place at a Beirut Pizza Hut restaurant) by intercepting agents’ email messages that used the sly, stealthy “code” word “PIZZA.”
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 28 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Unless you are ready to settle down, you must not lead someone on who is hoping for more. Share your uncertainty, and you will be able to leave the door open in case you decide you do want to make a commitment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Love and romance are highlighted. The more active you are, the better your chances of meeting someone special. If you are already involved, this is the perfect time to discuss your intentions and personal plans for the future. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may want to spare feelings, but
when it comes to love, be direct about what you want and what your intentions are. Getting involved in a secret liaison will not lead to a happy ending. Separate your needs and your desires. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Make your move. Romance is in the stars, and being open, honest and up front regarding your feelings will bring good results. A practical assessment of how you would like to move forward will confirm the values you and your partner share. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be inclined to mix business with pleasure. Before you do, find out
if there are consequences that might result. Protect what you have, and move on to a lover who does not have the potential to interfere with your professional gains. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take an aggressive position when it comes to love. If there is someone you want to be with, make it clear what you have in mind. Your confidence, coupled with a passionate approach, will grab the attention of someone special. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You need variety in your life to be happy. Intelligence will play a
major part in how a relationship develops with someone you meet. Get involved in something that requires you to deal with an institution, and you will meet someone interesting. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are the one in control. Size up what’s being offered, and you will know whether or not you have met your match. Equality will be the name of the game. Anything that falls short of that may as well be treated as a short-term encounter. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Get involved in something that interests you or participate in
an activity you enjoy, and you will meet someone very special. Listen attentively and refrain from exaggerating about what you have and who you are. Honesty will lead to trust and a long-term connection. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Show off a little, and you will attract interest. What you have to offer will be enticing to someone in your league. Share your plans for the future, but don’t reveal too much about your background, family or financial situation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll have trouble choosing the
right partner. Don’t judge someone by appearances. Take time to enjoy your favorite pastimes, and see how much interest the person with whom you have chemistry takes in what you are doing. Work on friendship first, and you’ll have better luck in love. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Someone from your past likely still has feelings for you. Consider the pros and cons of a love lost, and you may realize that it was immaturity that stopped your relationship from going the distance in the past. A second chance should seal the deal.
