Harnessing potential: dog-sled racing in Rochester The six Siberian huskies ahead of me weren’t even barking, but I could tell they were itching to run. Ahead of them laid a tree-lined, snow-covered trail, like a pristine linen-covered table surrounded by thousands of oak chairs. The dogs were ready. I wasn’t. That was my first attempt at dogsledding. I stood behind the sled, literally shaking in my boots. With one last anxious breath, I called out to the team of eager canines: “GO!” My heart nearly did a back flip as the sled jerked forward, but after the initial shock, I calmed down as the sled glided effortlessly across the snow. The trees flew by so fast that they became indistinguishable
brown blobs to my left and right. The dogs ran and ran, seemingly for days. It was a face plant to end all face plants. I’m pretty sure I still have ice chunks in my teeth. Apparently dogsledding isn’t in my blood, like it is for the canines pulling me that day, or the dozens of dogsledders in the Greater Rochester area. We may not have the frozen tundra of Alaska, but Rochester winters provide plenty of snow for local mushers and their dogs. Like the trails they speed across, racing life provides obstacles for both the humans and the dogs. But neither that — nor the frigid temperatures — have managed to cool their love for the sport.

How do we end poverty?
Regarding “Rochester’s Children and Our 5-Percent Shame” (Urban Journal, February 22): At first I felt a bit insulted. My mother was raised in poverty and did very well in the Cleveland, Ohio, schools. My father dropped out of school when he was 16 due to the Great Depression, but he could have gone to college. How are things different today? Sadly, they are. The terrible concentration of poverty in our cities is the key to poor school performance, although I do not believe it is the sole cause; I still think that low expectations are a factor. What must we do? Further education and intensive job training for adults? Good child care and reliable transportation? New ideas for creating productive work for people? Health insurance for all that is not dependent on holding a job in a company that can afford the premiums? A school situation that is close to having boarding schools, where students can receive assistance with school work and learn productive life skills in the evenings and on weekends? A fresh look at our drug laws, which lead to so much crime? I hope that Towler will address how we can eradicate urban poverty in future issues of City. SHERYL B. ZABEL, FAIRPORT
Where was the outrage?
In responding to a letter from the executive director of Feminists Choosing Life, Linda Stephens of Rochester’s National Organization for Women makes the contemptible comparison of abortions to tonsillectomies (February 23). City
MARCH 9-15, 2011
How unfortunate and sad to defensively compare apples to oranges rather than express outrage over the senseless deaths of women at the hands of incompetent abortion providers. This insensitivity to women who experience negative outcomes from their abortions is an all too typical response from pro-choice organizations. To liken a life-altering event, such as an abortion, to a tonsillectomy shows an outrageous disrespect to post-abortive women. If NOW and other prochoice organizations really cared about all women, they would find a way to support a women’s right to abortion and be outraged when the care these women receive falls below the highest medical standards. HANNAH MURPHY, BRIGHTON
Murphy is coordinator for special events and projects for Feminists Choosing Life of New York.
Abortion’s casualties
Linda Stephens stated that outlawing abortions because of medical malpractice makes as much sense as outlawing tonsillectomies because some are botched (The Mail, February 23). Stephens mentions an 8-year-old who went for a tonsillectomy and was left blind, mute, and unable to walk. The over 1 million babies slaughtered in abortions last year in the US were also left blind, mute, and unable to walk. How can you compare tonsils to innocent, helpless babies? Shame on us, and God forgive us. GREG TAYLOR, WEBSTER
From our website On proposed federal cuts:
When the Republicans succeed in destroying the unions, the middle class will shrink even more. And the sad thing is that the Democrats seem to be going along with it. We have faux Democrats like Bob Duffy, Joe Morelle, and Tom Richards eagerly helping the demolition. This country is going to have a small elite that has all the wealth and a huge class of poor, struggling people. Who cares, though? Let them all eat cake! When the revolution comes, like it did in France, nobody should wonder why. GET READY

This special, special election of a mayor As I mentioned in a blog last week, this special-election campaign may wear out the candidates, but the rest of us are getting plenty of opportunity to see them and learn where they stand. There are public forums in abundance. And we have a real choice: there are distinct differences among the three candidates on the ballot. (There are also two write-in candidates: Dean Wojtczak and Ann Lewis. Rightly or not, my sense is that if they couldn’t get enough petition signatures to get on the ballot, they can’t be considered serious candidates.) We’ll have extensive coverage of the race next week, but here are some preliminary thoughts — and some news. First, the news: 1) If elected, both Bill Johnson and Tom Richards would try to get the state’s Maintenance of Effort legislation overturned. Green Party candidate Alex White would not. MOE, as it’s known, forces the city to give the school district the same amount of money every year, no matter what the city’s budget needs are. The rationale was that if the state increased its aid to the school district, the city might be tempted to reduce its own. MOE prevents that. This is not a small issue, given the enormous fiscal pressure the city and the school district face. 2) Both Richards and Johnson — who was endorsed by the teachers union — support Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard, and they oppose the union’s push to get rid of him. In addition to the news, a prediction:
No matter who’s elected, you won’t see a push for mayoral control of the school district. Bill Johnson and Alex White are dead set against mayoral control. Richards’ position: “I supported it before, and I would take it” if the state passed a law giving it to him. But it’s not a priority. As mayor, of course, he would have plenty of other things on his plate. And Richards says the conflict surrounding it last year “poisoned the relationship” between City Hall and the school district. Obviously the state legislature won’t pass mayoral control if the mayor doesn’t press for it. And even if, for some bizarre reason, the Assembly wanted to do that, the Republican-controlled Senate wouldn’t. Neither of our local senators — good
News from the campaign trail: Bill Johnson and Tom Richards hate MOE and support Brizard. And mayoral control’s probably dead.

Republicans, both — are enthusiastic about mayoral control. We checked with them late last week, just to be sure they hadn’t changed their mind on the subject since last year. Jim Alesi gave the same non-committal answer he did then: If a bill came before the Senate, he’d look at what’s in it. Robach repeated that he wants a public referendum to decide the issue. And both, by the way, said they haven’t heard a thing about it lately. My thoughts about the campaign so far:
This is one lucky city. Three people with good ideas are devoting a tremendous amount of effort to run for an office that will bring the winner nothing but pain and grief. Given Rochester’s financial challenges, there’ll be layoffs and service cuts, and none of us will be happy with the result. We ought to be grateful that anybody wants to be mayor. And despite the lack of participation by the Monroe County Republican Party, this is an interesting, diverse field. Johnson and Richards have important experience, both in government and outside of it. White has surprised many people with his knowledge, and it should surprise nobody that a Green Party candidate has good, thought-provoking ideas. We’re two weeks way from a very special election, at a crucial time in Rochester’s history, and it’s hard to predict what the results will tell us. This could be a referendum on the Duffy administration. Or the Johnson administration. Or the ferry. Or the leadership of the Democratic Party. Or major-party politics itself. If you live in the city, you’ll help determine the answer. If you vote. Which you will — right?

An Assembly member from Queens withdrew his legislation to require bicycles to be registered with the state. The bill would have required bikes to pass an inspection before they could be registered, which would cost $25 the first year and $5 each year after. The bill also had separate requirements for commercial bicycles.

Governor Andrew Cuomo submitted a bill to implement a statewide teacher evaluation system. Cuomo’s bill addresses both performance and seniority, and is intended to address what is referred to as the “last in-first out” issue.

Movement’s goal: transform city schools
Lee on redistricting group Concerns over Democratic County 690 St. Paul Legislator Calvin Lee has
Representatives of more than a half-dozen community and education-related organizations have joined forces to launch what they describe as a massive, 1960’s-style movement to improve city schools. An upcoming summit will kick-off the effort.
The Rochester school board tabled a vote to use 690 St. Paul Street for swing space during the facilities modernization project. The building was once a Brownfield site and though it has been rehabilitated, environmental safety concerns linger. The FMP — a massive renovation project — cannot move forward until swing space for students is found.

Some of the movement’s goals: eliminate racism in the schools, develop alternatives to standardized testing, and prevent the opening of additional charter schools. “We’re bothered by this discussion that only teachers have to be accountable, and no one else is being named,” says Howard Eagle, one of the summit’s organizers. A goal of the summit is to create an ongoing plan of action, says Eagle, which will likely include developing a slate of candidates for the November school board elections. Four seats will be in play, which could lead to a major upheaval in the board’s leadership. The Community-Wide Summit for Educational Change is free and open to the public.

The chances of getting funding for the dredging project at the Port of Rochester may not be as good as last year, and the same can be said for projects — proposed or ongoing —across the Great Lakes. The reason is simple: money.

The battle over Great Lakes money Dredging is a regular activity at the Port of Rochester. The city and the Army Corps of Engineers work together to make sure that sediment build-up doesn’t prevent some boats from getting through. City officials, however, want to dredgeup even more sediment so that bigger boats, particularly Great Lakes cruise ships, can dock at the port. But that means digging up contaminated material at the bottom of the Genesee River. And that means a special project to safely and properly remove those sediments. The project needs funding, which city officials hope to get from the Environmental Protection Agency, says Alinda Drury, the city’s director of special projects. That’s where the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative comes in. The federal program, which was launched to great fanfare in the 2010 budget, provides funding for a variety of lake cleanup, habitat, invasive species, and water quality projects. But chances of getting funding for the dredging project may not be as good as last year, and the same can be said for projects — proposed or ongoing —across the Great Lakes. The reason is simple: money. For the first year, $475 million was devoted to the GLRI, and the figure dropped to $300 million for 2011. The president’s 2012 budget proposal requests $350 million for GLRI projects.

But House Republicans are pushing for cuts, which is worrisome, says Victoria Dillon, a spokeswoman for Representative Louise Slaughter. They’ve proposed reducing the 2011 allocation from $300 million to $225 million. And the $350-million proposed for 2012 might also become a target for cuts. Funding cuts would mean fewer federal dollars for important projects, many that have been backed-up for years. The first year’s funding was a burst meant to get some of those necessary or long-stalled projects going. About $305,000 of the 2010 funding went toward a local project to determine a maximum daily phosphorous load in the upper Black Creek watershed. That project could span several years, especially if it leads to remedial or mitigation work, says Ray Yacuzzo, a special assistant to the State Department of Environmental Conservation commissioner. Yacuzzo specializes in Lake Ontario issues.
The Black Creek project is important because it affects the Rochester Embayment Area of Concern, an impaired near-shore area of the lake near the Port of Rochester. Black Creek empties into the Genesee River, which, in turn, empties into the lake. The 2010 GLRI funding also backed efforts to study bathing beaches along the St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, and Lake Erie to determine pollution sources. Another project would help local health departments better monitor contaminants that frequently cause beach closings. Many GLRI-funded programs, such as the beach water studies, are intended to have a broad benefit across the Great Lakes system. For example, one firm is working to identify future chemical threats to the lakes. Once that’s done, fish can be tested to help determine whether those chemicals are present in the lake ecosystem.
US servicemen and servicewomen and 862 Coalition servicemen and servicewomen have been killed in Afghanistan from the beginning of the war and occupation to March 4.

INTERVIEW | BY JEREMY MOULE
New GVCLU director talks priorities It’s a turbulent time for Americans’ civil liberties. Abortion rights are under attack in Congress and in various states. Key provisions of the Patriot Act have been renewed. And same-sex couples still don’t have the right to get married in New York State. New York, however, does have a few bright spots: drug law reforms and antibullying legislation are about to take effect, and some state lawmakers are advancing legislation to protect abortion rights. It’s against this background that KaeLyn Rich takes over as chapter director of the Genesee Valley Civil Liberties Union, the local affiliate of the New York Civil Liberties Union. Rich started in mid-January after five years with Planned Parenthood of the Rochester-Syracuse Region, where she was the community affairs coordinator. “The issues that we worked on at Planned Parenthood are absolutely encompassed in the work that NYCLU does,” Rich says. “It feels very close to home.” She’s also been a board member of the Genesee Valley chapter for the past three years, so she’s familiar with the organization’s work. The state organization and its local chapters have similar agendas, since they work together to set them. During a recent interview, Rich outlined some of the issues that NYCLU and GVCLU are currently focusing on. An edited version of that conversation follows. CITY: What are some of the GVCLU’s priorities in 2011?
Rich: For one, we are calling on the Cuomo administration to ensure effective implementation of the state’s new drug policy — the reform of the Rockefeller Drug Laws — that provides for treatment and rehabilitation rather than incarceration. We want to make sure that we’re improving academic outcomes and preventing bullying in schools by promoting a learning environment that values tolerance and respect, and that includes looking toward the implementation of the Dignity for All Students Act, which will go into effect in 2012. Our other recommendations are based directly upon constitutional principles of personal freedom. And that is urging the governor to use his influence to advance legislation protecting reproductive choice. The Reproductive Health Act is an integral part of that. And we need to urge the governor to advance the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender New Yorkers by City
MARCH 9-15, 2011
looking at issues like marriage fairness and gender equality. Lastly, the NYCLU has added its voice and its endorsement to the governor’s call for creating an independent commission to draw new electoral districts based on the 2010 Census. How much of the Rockefeller Drug Laws reforms have kicked in?
It’s in implementation. Judges now have the discretion to order treatment and rehabilitation instead of incarceration. The benefits are better treatment and management of addiction, lower rates of recidivism, and savings in the cost of imprisonment. But the benefit is only realized if the state’s effective at implementing the new policy. The two recommendations we’re calling for are: one, to establish in the office of the governor a senior-level position with responsibility for coordinating and facilitating effective implementation of the drug reform laws and two, to convene a task force of volunteer experts who can provide guidance regarding implementation. What do NYCLU and GVCLU want addressed by the Dignity for All Students Act?
We’re encouraging districts to begin working right now to meet their obligations under the state law. It’s still being worked out exactly what implementation’s going to look like, what the specific guidelines are going to be. One issue is preventing bullying and harassment by training all staff on bullying issues. And by incorporating anti-bullying and tolerance lessons into all students’ core curriculum, and by understanding the varying tactics used by bullies, including cyber-bullying. The Dignity Act requires each school to have at least one staff member who acts as a trained point person on bullying issues and incidents. [Schools should] create a confidential complaint mechanism for students and for parents to report incidents of bullying to that designated staff person. Schools should be focusing on the emotional and psychological needs of the bully and the victim, including counseling for both. Suspension should only be a last resort to address bullying. Is New York or its Legislature doing anything troubling in the area of immigration?
In May of last year, New York State entered into a memorandum of agreement with
KaeLyn Rich is the new chapter director of the Genesee Valley Civil Liberties Union. PHOTO BY MIKE HANLON
Department of Homeland Security to implement the controversial S-COMM, or Secure Communities Program. The program requires that when a New Yorker is arrested or fingerprinted in a local jail for any reason, his or her fingerprints are electronically run through the federal immigration database. This allows Immigration and Customs Enforcement to identify non-citizens. It can also lead to deportation proceedings against these individuals. S-COMM turns every interaction with a police officer or sheriff into a potential confrontation that carries the risk of apprehension and deportation. It also invites racial profiling by state and local law enforcement. We’re calling on the Cuomo administration to rescind its agreement to implement the S-COMM program.
The Illinois ACLU just released a report on Chicago’s public safety camera network. It concluded that the city didn’t adopt sufficient safeguards to prevent violations of privacy. Do you have any concerns about Rochester’s crime cameras?
So far we’ve not seen any evidence of a violation in that nobody’s come forward and said this was used unlawfully. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t potential and I think that’s what we’re more concerned about. Industry representatives and government officials might argue that the video cameras are no different than a pair of eyes. But according to this, upon entering a public space we forfeit a right to privacy, which is not true. It also fails to account for the remarkable capabilities of technology, both today and in the continues on page 8

future. Protections need to be put in place to be sure people’s civil liberties aren’t being violated. The cameras can’t prevent bad things from happening. The money spent on these cameras may, in fact, divert resources from more effective crime-prevention strategies and tactics. Is GVCLU concerned with any of the policing methods used by the city?
We were opposed to Zero Tolerance and worked with City Council to look at that policy. There’s a lot of room for abuse. Again, it was a program that cost taxpayer money that might have been used in better ways for actually addressing crime. Congress and the president renewed parts of the Patriot Act . What does NYCLU think should’ve happened with the legislation? [This interview took place shortly after the House passed the renewal bills, but the Senate hadn’t yet voted.]
We do believe that the three sections of the bill that are on the table right now should be allowed to expire unless they’re amended to include privacy protections to protect personal information from government overreach. I understand that people want to feel more secure. But we can’t give up our constitutional liberties in order to be safe and unfortunately, that’s what the Patriot Act does. It gave the government sweeping authority to spy on individuals inside the United States and in some cases without any suspicion of wrongdoing. What are the odds that the State Senate will pass marriage-equality legislation this year?
I think New Yorkers understand the need for marriage fairness. It should be something that can pass this year, absolutely. It’s long overdue, actually. Do I think it’s going to be a fight to the bitter end? Unfortunately, yes. We have a Legislature that is divided on this issue, that’s not reflecting, necessarily, the values of their constituents. So we need to do everything we can to get constituents’ voices into Albany. I think it’ll be interesting to see where people stand when it comes to a vote. I do believe that Governor Cuomo is committed to advancing marriage fairness. We have to hold our legislators accountable and make sure the constituents are speaking to their legislators. We basically hire these people to represent us.

But it’s not the best pizza in Rochester, and you shouldn’t let it distract your attention from the rest of the menu: you might miss out on one of the best burgers in the city, and you’ll almost certainly overlook the best chicken parm sandwich I’ve had anywhere at any time.

Joys for tots Acme Bar and Grill 495 Monroe Ave. 271-2263 Mon-Fri 11 a.m.-2 a.m., Sat-Sun noon-2 a.m. [ review ] by JAMES LEACH
If you are a teetotaler, or you haven’t yet abandoned your New Year’s resolution to eat a better, more rounded diet, you should probably stop reading right now. Nothing that follows this sentence will do anything but upset you or potentially shatter your resolve. For those of you who are still with me, I want to tell you about a place where you can get an overflowing basket of tater tots for $3, a gigantic slice of pizza awash in tasty orange grease for $2, and one of the most delicious, and cheapest bar burgers in the city for the attractive price of $6.75. And you can have a really, really good beer while getting your grease on. Acme Bar and Grill on Monroe Avenue is about as close to fried-food nirvana as you are ever likely to get. Slightly divey and cluttered with the sort of bric-a-brac that only a truly beloved bar accumulates over time, Acme straddles the line between cheap dive (there is, after all, PBR on tap and a beer case full of cheap long-necks) and high-end beer bar (much of the rest of the beer case is taken up with U.S. microbrews and hard-to-find Belgian beers). If you are a 20something living on a tight budget, there are probably not many places downtown where you can fill up on the sort of food your mother would look down her
nose at and get a couple (or more than a couple) decent beers for about a sawbuck. And if you are an old fart like me, you won’t much care that you are older than everyone else in the place once there’s a beer and a basket of tater tots sitting in front of you. Tater tots are the Holy Grail of bar food: hard
to find, and even when you find them they often aren’t prepared well. At Acme they do tots just right: frying them until they teeter on the line between well-done and burnt, salting them judiciously, and getting them out to you while they are still hot enough to burn your fingers and retain their crunch. (There is nothing worse than a soggy tot.) Want a bit of extra spice? They’ll toss the fried tater puffs with a “Cajun” seasoning that’s long on cayenne pepper and salt ($3.25). The combination will, as intended, make you drain your beer and ask for another. And if you are particularly fortunate and have the cojones to ask for it, your server might — if she’s so inclined — score you a cup of hot sauce to dunk your tater tots in. If you are a dedicated sybarite like me, you’ll pour the sauce over the whole basket of hot spuds, creating something akin to a bastard poutine combining all of the bar-night food groups: salty, fatty, spicy, and meaty. Many patrons swear to the excellence of Acme’s pizza, and I’ll admit that it’s pretty good, and certainly the best slice you are likely to find at the price anywhere in Rochester ($2, $2.25 with one topping). The crust is thin and sturdy enough to stand up to being folded.
to lean is in Acme’s burgers: nobody’s coming here to eat health food. The hand-formed patties are thick and succulently juicy, char grilled to order, and served on a Martusciello’s sandwich roll with lettuce, tomato, onion, and your choice of toppings. I tend to load a burger up, and doing so here only makes a good thing better. A slice of cheddar and some crispy bacon round out the bar-burger trifecta. Everyone who orders it is a winner ($6.75). I ordered the chicken parm ($6.75) on a whim, largely because I wasn’t in the mood for more pizza or another burger on my second visit. When the bartender came out of the kitchen bearing a basket that very nearly required two hands to carry, I started to suspect I’d bitten off more than I could chew. Acme’s chicken parm is gigantic: at least a pound, and perhaps more, of gorgeously breaded and perfectly fried chicken topped with sweet tomato sauce and mozzarella and toasted inside a massive Martusciello’s sandwich roll. Two people could easily split one sandwich, and if you add a basket of tots to the mix four people could probably divvy it up successfully. Size isn’t everything, though: this is an amazing parm, combining crunchy, moist chicken, cheese and just the right amount of sauce in every bite. The bread is substantial enough not to collapse under the weight of its contents, but it also acts as a great sponge for the sauce. You’ll need lots of napkins to eat this sandwich, and you’ll still likely go home bearing the guilty witness of your self-indulgence on your shirt and jeans. Service at Acme is pretty much what you’d want out of your favorite dive bar, alternating between cordially surly and gregariously indulgent, as evidenced by the warning “Absolutely no fuckheads of any type” tacked up above the bar and the “You look like you could use a drink” t-shirt worn by one of the bartenders on a recent visit. Come in for lunch and the regulars and the bartender are likely to regard you with polite suspicion. Come in on any evening and you may find yourself being treated like a regular by the end of your second pint and your first basket of tots. Just be sure to save a stool for me, tip your bartenders and servers well, and save room for a sandwich.

Harnessing potential: dog-sled racing in Rochester [ FEATURE ] By Kathy Laluk
The six Siberian huskies ahead of me weren’t even barking, but I could tell they were itching to run. The line of dogs seemed to stretch on for miles in front of the sled. Ahead of them laid a tree-lined, snow-covered trail, like a pristine linen-covered table surrounded by thousands of oak chairs. The dogs were ready. I wasn’t. That was my first attempt at dogsledding. It was sublimely serene and phenomenally exhilarating at the same time. The smooth white snow flew between my feet, which were perched on the small platforms jetting off the back of the sled. I was so in the moment, I decided to push off some of the snow piling between my feet. Big mistake. It was a face plant to end all face plants. I’m pretty sure I still have ice chunks in my teeth. Apparently dogsledding isn’t in my blood, like it is for the canines pulling me that day, or the dozens of dogsledders in the Greater Rochester area. We may not have the frozen tundra of Alaska, but Rochester winters provide plenty of snow for local mushers and their dogs. Like the trails they speed across, racing life provides obstacles for both the humans and the dogs. But neither that — nor the frigid temperatures — have managed to cool their love for the sport. Though dogs have been used to pull equipment
since Native Americans used them to tow
farming plows (at least), the sport of dog-sled racing dates to the 1850’s, according to the International Sled Dog Racing Association. An informal race from Winnipeg to St. Paul led to the first official dog-sled race at a winter carnival in Minnesota in 1886. Back then it was just a handful of amateurs racing dogs for fun. Since then it has developed into one of the carnival’s main events, and a worldwide winterrecreation activity. Two main types of dogsledding have developed over the years: long-distance and sprint racing. In long-distance races, teams compete to finish a set distance (anywhere between 200 and 1,000 miles), while sprint races are much shorter (usually four to 25 miles). Despite some differences, both types of racing feature essentially the same mechanics. Teams can have as few as two dogs and as many as 16. Mushers — the human component of sled-dog racing — stand on small planks behind the sled called runners
I stood behind the sled, literally shaking in my boots. With one last anxious breath, I called out to the team of eager canines: “GO!” My heart nearly did a back flip as the sled jerked forward, but after the initial shock, I calmed down as the sled glided effortlessly across the snow. The trees flew by so fast that they became indistinguishable brown blobs to my left and right. The dogs ran and ran, seemingly for days. and command the team of dogs using staccato commands like “gee” (turn right) and “haw” (turn left). Early on, dogsledding was less about entertainment and more about utility. Siberian and Alaskan huskies could — and would — run across miles of frozen tundra, providing supplies to communities in more remote areas. The most famous example is the 1925 serum run, when 20 mushers and more than 150 sled dogs rushed diphtheria antitoxin to the small city of Nome, Alaska, saving it from an epidemic. Lead dog Balto (yes, the same Balto the animated movie is based on) and the other sled dogs made it there in a record-breaking five-day run from Nenana, Alaska. But the sport didn’t really catch on until the early 20th century. The 1920’s and 1930’s were dogsledding’s heyday in the United States, and it was featured as a demonstration sport in the 1932 Lake Placid Olympics. “People just loved it,” says Ron Leight, a musher and dog trainer from Albion. “It’s
fast-paced, and people love to watch the dogs run. It’s just exciting.” But in the 1950’s and 60’s, dogsledding’s popularity waned as the availability of snowmobiles increased. Two Alaskan natives — Joe Redington, Sr. and Dick Mackey — didn’t want the sport to suffer because of technological advances, and founded the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 1973. The Iditarod, which just kicked off its 38th race on Saturday, March 5, has evolved into a highly competitive, 10- to 17-day race that spans more than 1,150 miles from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska. There, mushers and their teams of 12 to 16 dogs are local celebrities. It’s no surprise that dogsledding was named the official sport of Alaska shortly after the Iditarod started gaining popularity and national attention in the 1970’s. “[The Iditarod] is a big part of why dogsledding and Siberian clubs still exist for so many folks today,” Leight says.

The small outdoor shack with cement floors,
snowplows tucked in corners, and various shovels and pickaxes lining the walls is not the most traditional of meeting places, but for the Seneca Siberian Husky Club, it works. About 20 mushers and their dogs packed into the small space for the group’s February meeting. It was hard to hear the group’s president, Tony Kingsly, over the constant whimpering and occasional barks. It was almost like sitting in a Sunday church service: the dogs like small children who want to go outside and play, the owners like their parents, trying to keep them quiet through the meeting. The Seneca Siberian Husky Club, which meets once a month year-round, is just one of three local husky clubs near the Greater Rochester area. The Canadian American Sledders Club, based in Waterport, and the Siberian Husky Club of the Niagara Frontier just outside Buffalo are spread out, but if you’re willing to trek out to the meetings, the members are thrilled to tell you anything and everything you ever wanted to know about huskies and racing. These clubs organize a handful of friendly regional races every winter, including one at the Mendon Ponds Park Winter Festival in January. This year, about 30 traditional sleddog teams and about a dozen skijoring teams showed up to compete. Skijoring, a non-traditional type of sleddog racing that’s become popular over the last few decades, foregoes the sled part altogether. Instead, the musher wears cross-country skis and is hooked up to the dogs directly. This puts slightly less strain on the team of dogs (typically only one to three), and shifts some of the extra work onto the musher. Amherst native Jeff Dosch has been doing skijoring races with his 5-year-old golden retriever Mendel for four seasons. He says skijoring teams can run the same distance as four-dog sled teams, but tend to run a bit slower. For Dosch, a lifelong skier, the transition seemed obvious. He had two other golden retrievers before Mendel, but the other dogs didn’t want to run. “When I hooked [Mendel] up he just — woosh! — took off running. He was a natural,” Dosch says. There are winners in these races (Dosch and Mendel took third in this year’s Mendon Ponds race), but the Seneca Siberian Husky Club races more for fun. “It’s competitive, but we’re more here to run the dogs and hang out with everyone afterwards,” Dosch says. “It’s always a friendly race.” More competitive races are harder to find in New York, especially close to Rochester. The Pennsylvania Sled Dog Club organizes more serious races for the Northeast region, including the Tug Hill Challenge in Lorraine (about an hour southwest of Fort Drum), and the Massena Dash (just north of Potsdam). Matt Polcaro, who started sled-dog racing when he was 14 years old after reading the book “Stone Fox,” says the environment at more competitive races remains genial. “It’s
not like the races are exclusive or anything. Anyone can sign up and run,” he says. “You know, you’re not going to beat the world champions, but you can still run and you can still be part of the race.” Looking at the gorgeous four-legged racers,
it’s easy to forget that sled dogs are actually athletes. And although the Siberian Husky breed is ideally suited for dogsledding, it still takes months of training before a dog is ready to compete. “As long as you keep them in shape, they can run forever,” says Ron Leight. “Worst thing you can do to a sled dog is leave them behind.” Leight, who owns Leighthouse Kennels in Albion, has been training dogs for more than 20 years. Like an athlete, in order to perform well, the dogs have to practice. Leight will run his two dogs anywhere from eight to 10 hours a week. In the wintertime, that means hooking them up to a sled. But when there’s no snow on the ground, he’ll hook them up to a scooter instead. Proper training is crucial when preparing any pup to become a sled dog. Leight says it’s a misconception to think that only huskies can be sled dogs. “My preference is the husky — they’re just born to run — but depending on the dog and how much time the owner is willing to put into it, any dog can have his day.” Skijorer Jeff Dosch says he usually gets some weird looks when he first shows up to races, but once other mushers see Mendel run, their skepticism instantly fades. But even Mendel needed some training. “He’d run for a quarter mile or so, but then he just wanted to dive and roll in the snow. Even today, he still jumps in the snow,” Dosch says. Glenn and Marie Eschrich, who recently adopted a Siberian Husky named Shadow, said they wanted to start racing, but their veterinarian recommended holding off until Shadow was about 6 months old. Glenn says running Shadow before that could have damaged his bone and muscle development, and ultimately stunt him as a sled dog. “Different people have different philosophies about when to start running the dogs,” Glenn says. Some animal-rights groups consider the sport itself cruel to the animals. Matt Polcaro, a musher for 15 years from Lacona, counters that it’s cruel not to let these dogs run. “I don’t have any dogs that I make do this,” he says. Polcaro admits there are some mushers out there who push their dogs too hard — and that can be dangerous. “Those people put such a black eye on the sport,” he says. “I won’t associate with them.” Dogsledding organizations like the International Federation of Sled Dog Sports condemn over-working dogs. Polcaro says it’s too hard for him to look at his pups’ faces and do anything that could hurt them. He says the traditional bond between owner and pet goes much deeper for mushers and their dogs. “I’ll pick up a lot of young dogs from people that just don’t have time for them, and then train them,” he says. “The most

rewarding thing for me is taking a young dog that six months ago couldn’t do anything, and then seeing them on the trails performing.” Once used as a means of transportation
across frozen terrain, dogsledding is now primarily a competitive sport for some, or a fun — albeit time- and money-consuming — hobby for others. Glenn Eschrich says a lot of work goes into raising a Siberian Husky, regardless of whether it becomes a sled dog or not. “I walk him for about an hour in the mornings and about an hour at night, and he still has so much energy,” Glenn says. “It’s a great breed, but it’s not for everyone,” Glenn’s wife, Marie, says. Since the dogs, huskies or not, double as athletes and pets, there are some additional costs. Between harnesses, the sled, and general care for the dogs, like grooming and food, dogsledding can get expensive. Harnesses will run about $20 to $50, tow lines to hook the dogs together and to the sled cost an average of $25 to $80, and sleds will set a person back anywhere from $350 to $900. Skijorers also need their own set of cross-country skis and poles, as well as a special hip belt to hook up to their dogs (roughly $100). But every musher I talked to said it’s worth it. About five years ago, the Eschrich family went up to Northern Finland in the Arctic Circle for vacation. There, they went on a dogsled ride and instantly fell in love with the sport and the Siberian Husky breed. “Once we did that, there was no other dog for us,” says Glenn Eschrich. Glenn said once they bought Shadow, it just made sense to start training him. But he wants to make sure dogsledding doesn’t take over his whole life. “It’s time consuming, yeah, and I want to spend time doing it, but I still want to spend time with my family,” he says. Matt Polcaro, who has been dogsledding for about 15 years, says it’s a delicate balancing act between being involved in the sport and being engulfed by it. The trickiest part is resisting the temptation to buy more dogs to build a better team. “I swore I’d never

get more than 12 dogs,” he says. Polcaro currently has 14, but insists two are just pets. “Having a husky is a bit like having potato chips — you can’t have just one,” Polcaro says. He says that, also like potato chips, moderation is key. “I’ve seen a lot of guys get too big too fast. … It becomes too much of a burden, both financially and logistically, and they have to give [the sport] up.” Polcaro says it’s hard not to get addicted to the sport. “The rush is just incredible. It’s almost impossible to give that up once you’ve experienced it,” he says. When I made my feeble attempt at dogsledding, that one brief moment of serenity mixed with adrenaline was too intoxicating to resist trying again — or at least toy with the idea while writing this story. Leight says once you’ve been hooked up to the dogs, it’s almost impossible not to be hooked for life. “A lot people, I think, do this for fun. It’s a recreational thing,” Leight says. “You know, you go out on the open trails with just you and your dogs — there’s nothing better.”

Evidence of this is also found in Sweden’s Sister Sin, which has been enjoying American success via its Victory Records release this past summer.

Sweet treat [ review ] by frank de blase
Last Tuesday I got a chance to go behind the scenes into the Saxon Studios lair and watch as The Goods put the finishing touches to its new four-song offering. It’s still the sky-bound soundscapes we’ve come to expect, but the band has put on some muscle and attitude along the way. It soars and roars. Friday night at The Standard Lounge American Gypsy-picker-troubadour Mike Brown and Montreal’s Zak DeCamp worked their way through a songbook full of familiars, from Leiber and Stoller to the Boss. It was campfire loose and ultra-casual as Brown followed DeCamp’s pitches, smothering them in lap-steel beauty. Brown commands the instrument not as a flashy player, but as one who possesses the punctuation necessary to make the steel make sense on any song. It flows like thought and is beyond beautiful. Later that night I battled my way into Abilene, where The Hi-Risers were laying down some blue-eyed soul. The night was full of the band’s trucker delights, rockabilly twang, and 4/4 rave-ups, but there was a distinct r&b stomp to their Cuban heels. The trio whipped out The
Bar-Kays’ “Soul Finger” and I thought my head was going to explode. A Hi-Risers show is always a cross-section of American musical splendor, and the trio is a veritable jukebox. But this night was a particularly sweet treat for the rock ’n’ roll elite. It’s fun to watch the popsters grow. The Bug Jar was packed nut-to-butt Saturday night with the next generation of rock ’n’ roll youth. I caught the last two songs of Josh Netsky’s set, and from what I could tell, the guy’s added some heat to the sugar and hooks. Overhand Sam burning up the guitar no doubt adds the roots, where the songs — though still bright and airy — bristle with an underlying, ominous glow. Joywave followed with an amazingly large sound for the little room. I hadn’t seen these cats since they were The Hoodies. Gone is the contemporary lean and dynamic push and pull that so many young bands trip over trying to perfect. It’s been replaced by an urgent and commanding dose of straight-up brilliant rock music. That’s all we want. That’s all we need.

If you dig far enough back into the evolution of our noble race, you’ll find that everything surrounding our primitive predecessors had the potential to be a weapon or an instrument. Before there were guns and knives and tasers, folks were hitting each other over the head with rocks. Before there were Vibrolux amps to plug our ES-350s into, we beat on stuff with sticks. We used what we had. Not much has changed today; we’re still finding new and exciting ways to kill each other or make music with whatever we can get our hands on. A lot of the legwork has been done and musical instruments are 14 City MARCH 9-15, 2011
plentiful, but there are still musicians who see the musical potential in everyday items. Take, for instance, Rochester’s Revengineers. The group has existed for a little more than a year, and it has the usual trappings of an ordinary band — bass, guitar, drums. But at the front of the whole affair are video games. Revengineers create music using Game Boys and Nintendos. Revengineer Nick Maynard began making electronic music in college, when he was hipped to what is now called “chip music” or “8-bit music” by the band Anamanaguchi. “Slowly I became aware people were making music with Nintendos and Game Boys and stuff like that,” he says. “I just thought they sounded amazing.” These musicians weren’t just playing along to the scores of “The Legend of Zelda” or “Super Mario Bros.” They were gutting these units, taking the hardware, and using it to compose original music. Maynard says he was attracted to these particular tones before he knew how to create them. “When I heard people were using the hardware to create music, I was excited,” he says. “It sounds better than the music in the
The Revengineers — Maynard, Kolbe Resnick (drums), Rob Mostyn (guitar), and Jim Dewitt (bass) — is relentless and intense. Despite its electronic focus, the heart of a rock band still beats inside The Revengineers. It’s just a rock band that has to co-exist and adjust to electronic music’s absolutes. Nobody has to roll with that more than Resnick. “It definitely took me a few shows to get used to playing with the Nintendo,” he says. “Because the timing is perfect, because if I miss a beat, the whole song is off.” The technology is a bit archaic and presents a few obstacles. “This is straight out of 1985,” says Maynard. “When making music with the Game Boy there are limitations to it — you can only do music that has four tracks going on. So you have to be creative within those four tracks. Even though it’s limited, I still think there are a wide range of tones available.” On stage, Maynard embraces the limitations, often looping the Game Boy while manipulating the Nintendo live. And of course the organic elements of the band are poised to rescue a tune when the occasional glitch occurs. “There was a show where the Nintendo kept cutting out halfway through the song,” Resnick says. “And we had to finish the song instrumentally.” Besides the safety net the band provides, Maynard likes the blend of organic and electronic for a performer’s perspective. “I think there’s a really cool element to it,” he says. “It’s more fun. There are other people who do just Game Boy music. I think this adds a more visual component to it, to be able to see someone playing guitar.” As far as the manufacturers of these games and consoles are concerned, there really hasn’t been an official decree on their creations’ unexpected second lives. “I think it’s funny for them,” Maynard says. “I think they are aware of it. But the cartridges you put the programs on, I think they are pretty against those, because it makes it so easy for people to pirate old games. You can put any game you want on these old cartridges.” The band has an album due to drop early this summer. And speaking of games, how about a Revengineers game? “Something like that might happen,” Maynard says.

CLASSICAL | Jon Nakamatsu
In 1997, classical pianist Jon Nakamatsu won the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. That credential alone should be sufficient to motivate your attendance at his Rochester performances this week. On Thursday and Saturday Nakamatsu returns to the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra to perform the Schumann Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 54. The Schumann is a well-known concerto on a program that includes Mendelssohn and Vaughn Williams, with Christopher Seaman at the podium. Then on Monday, March 14, Nakamatsu and several favored RPO musicians, such as Kenneth Grant, clarinet, and Juliana Athayde, violin, will perform for Chamber Music Rochester at Hochstein Hall. The program includes W.A. Mozart’s Trio in E-flat Major (“Kegelstatt”) for Clarinet, Viola, and Piano, K. 498 and Antonin Dvorak’s “Quintet in A Major for Piano and Strings, Op. 81. Check chambermusicrochester.org for more details. Jon Nakamatsu performs with the RPO Thursday, March 10, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, March 12, at 8 p.m. at Kodak Hall at Eastman Theater, 60 Gibbs St. $22-$77. 454-2100, rpo.org. — BY PALOMA CAPANNA Karaoke w/George, King of Karaoke.

www.salingersrochester.com ALT-ROCK | Big Hurry
The members of Big Hurry perform their music with an original, mysterious art-school vibe. That’s appropriate, since lead singer Kelly Tobias and bassist Lenny Flatley met while employed at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Museum. This is indie art rock the way you like it: lovely melodies in carefully enunciated broken English, edgy guitar and synth riffs, and minor experiments in songwriting all wrapped up in the band’s youthful energy. Big Hurry’s first gig was at a campaign benefit for President Obama in 2008. Here the group is playing a birthday concert. Tympanogram, a local music blog celebrating its second anniversary, and you’re invited to the party. Also featuring The Dads and Dave & Marissa. Note that it’s an early show, followed by the Rehab Record Party.

ROOTS | Raul Malo
Raul Malo has one of the most beautiful voices in the world. A true crooner, Malo’s voice first broke hearts when he fronted country retro-rockers The Mavericks. Like Roy Orbison, Dwight Yoakam and Chris Isaak, Malo’s music leans on the twangy, coutrypolitan side while he cries in his creamy tenor. His new “Sinners and Saints” album concentrates on his background and life-long love with Cuban music. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a woman say his name without following it with a sigh. There won’t be a dry seat in the house. Seth Walker and Mike Brown open the show. Raul Malo plays Saturday, March 12, 8 p.m. at Water Street Music Hall, 204 N.

With Trouble Sleeping? GARAGE ROCK | Bad Kids
The wild-eyed boys of Rochester’s Bad Kids are going to give us one last taste of their dirty, knockdown, drag-out rock ‘n’ roll before heading out on tour. The band has been entertaining underground audiences at house concerts and gallery shows over the past two years. Intelligent commentary underlines references to everything from Television to Iggy Pop, with a swirl of Velvet Underground for good measure. These kids are bad in all the right ways. Sexy Neighbors from Brooklyn, which warrants attention with its unique pairing of drone and angst, shares the night along with local noise favorites Torus and the smash-steady rock of The Goons. The show takes place Sunday, March 13, 9 p.m. at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $6-$8. 454-2966, bugjar.com. — BY EMILY FAITH Egg Man’s Traveling Carnival. Hatter’s Pub, 5 W Main St, Webster.

Dave Andreatta and Jill Rittinger in “The Glass Menagerie.” PHOTO BY BARY SIEGEL
Shattered dreams “The Glass Menagerie” Through March 19 Blackfriars Theatre, 795 E Main St. $25-$27 | 454-1260, bftix.com [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK
Like most of Tennessee Williams’ works, “Glass Menagerie” includes autobiographical elements from the playwright’s life. In this case, the character of Tom — who acts as the narrator and as one of the main characters — shares many similarities with the author. He’s in a gonowhere warehouse job when all he really wants to do is write. He bristles with barely contained contempt at his overbearing mother, Amanda, a faded Southern belle stuck in the glory of her past and incapable of moving on after being abandoned by her husband years ago. And he’s protective of his fragile sister, Laura, who is content to spend life watching others live theirs, or taking care of her collection of tiny glass animal figurines. But Amanda has other plans for both of her children, and when she goads Tom into inviting over one of his coworkers in a covert attempt to spark a love connection with Laura, the family’s sad, unfocused half-lives burn brightly for a minute before growing increasingly dark (literally and figuratively). This production marks the directorial debut of Fred Nuernberg, a local acting legend who has done some exceptional work on the Blackfriars boards in recent years. It’s always interesting to see how actors fare as directors; I find they have a tendency to focus their energies on the actors’ 20 City march 9-15, 2011
performances, sometimes to the detriment of pacing and audience engagement. That scenario played out somewhat in the sleepy first act — although that’s not all Nuernberg’s fault. The play itself features very little action, and the first act in particular has a fairly consistent, low energy level. But that’s the exception to the direction, not the rule. Nuernberg makes some interesting choices in the staging that reward careful viewing. In the very beginning, as Tom speaks to the audience, setting up the story, the rest of the cast silently and furtively take the stage, as if magically emerging from the fog of memory. Later, when Tom and Amanda erupt into a prolonged argument, try to keep your eyes on Laura, sitting by herself, taking care of her glass animals. There’s some lovely misdirection that allows for some true theater magic, and Nuernberg is aided by John Haldoupis’s equally smart set. The dining room is set within a proscenium of sorts, framing the family in a way that recalls and juxtaposes the classic American family-dinner images of Norman Rockwell. Meanwhile, the living room is open on the theater floor, the audience practically sitting among Laura, Amanda, Tom, and all of their emotional baggage. But what really makes the show is the acting.
All four actors put in excellent work individually. MA Sheridan sets the tone as Tom, his casual Southern drawl perfectly matched with a droll sense of humor. Even in his physicality, Sheridan suggests a man frustrated by his current unfulfilling life and being pushed ever closer to pulling the escape hatch, whatever the consequences. While Tom’s final actions are
unsavory, Sheridan does a good job making us empathize with his long-suffering character. Jill Rittinger’s Laura is as fragile and beautiful as the character’s cherished glass ornaments. In the past, Rittinger has convincingly pulled off some very strong women on stage (her take on Katharine Hepburn in “Tea at Five” will apparently return to Blackfriars this fall), so seeing her play such a quiet, tremulous character reveals an entirely different side to her. Laura can easily be under- or overplayed, but Rittinger gets her unique pathos just right. Amanda is probably the juiciest role in the play, and Patricia Lewis takes full advantage of all her highs and lows. Lewis swans around the stage very much like a Southern lady and tempers Amanda’s more caustic moments with genuine concern for her children’s future. The only criticism is that her Southern accent occasionally floated into a British one during the performance I attended. Dave Andreatta is on stage only for a short amount of time as Jim, the so-called gentleman caller. It’s a shame that he isn’t used more, but he is also perfect for the show. Andreatta is like a beam of energy in the second act, electrifying the rest of the cast. His warm, prolonged scene opposite Laura is captivating, and the chemistry between the two actors is so natural that you almost forget you’re watching a play. He’s a joy to watch in the part, and effectively makes the audience as excited and hopeful as Laura and Amanda, which makes it all the more crushing — and true to life — when he inevitably leaves the party.

DANCE | Tango Buenos Aires
The urgent intimacy and just barely restrained eroticism of tango, paired with expertly poised and graceful dancers, makes it a captivating and popular dance to behold. On Sunday, March 13, steam and sparks will fly on stage when Tango Buenos Aires returns to the Callahan Theater at Nazareth College Arts Center (4245 East Ave.). If you’re a fan of watching “Dancing with the Stars,” here is your chance to watch professional-caliber ballroom performed live. The world-class dance performance, which will be accompanied by a live orchestra, last visited Nazareth in 2007. Originally created for the “Jazmines” festival at the cabaret “Michelangelo,” Tango Buenos Aires has become one of Argentina’s great cultural exports, and in 2009, Argentinean Tango was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List, joining other global cultural treasures like Chinese calligraphy, kabuki theater, the samba, and the Mediterranean diet. A free pre-performance lecture by Nazareth College professor of history, Isabel Cordova, will take place at 6 p.m. in A14 of the Nazareth College Arts Center. The show begins at 7 p.m., and tickets range from $30 to $60. For tickets and more information, call 389-2170 or visit boxoffice.naz.edu, or artscenter.naz.edu. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Webster, NY 14580. 671-9080, thecomedyclub.us.

KIDS | Brick City Junior Lego League
These days, there are all manner of technology-based tools and toys used by children for entertainment and educational purposes. But how many can claim to be teaching kids handson problem-solving and engineering skills? This weekend, the youngest competitors in the FIRST Robotics family will showcase their projects at the Brick City Junior Lego League Expo, held at Rochester Institute of Technology Student Alumni Cafe (1 Lomb Memorial Drive). “This is a chance to get the younger kids excited about science and technology,” says Larry Herb, a fourth-year new mediainteractive development student and president of RIT FIRST Club. “For less than the cost of a Nintendo Wii, schools can fund a team with the materials and kit. And the fun the kids have is priceless.” In this year’s challenge, “Body Forward,” teams will showcase projects relating to the human body and how it works, focusing on a specific body part or medical instrument. Geared toward ages 6-10, the event will include displays of team projects using Legos, science demonstrations, and other non-competitive events. An expected 10 teams of two to six elementary-school students will exhibit at the expo, hosted for the first time by RIT’s FIRST Robotics club, which annual hosts the Finger Lakes Regional FIRST Robotics competition for high-school students. The event takes place on Saturday, March 12, 11 a.m.4 p.m., and is free and open to the public.

Schwartz, a victim who had been a leader in her union’s efforts to improve working conditions. Ironically, Laura Reed portrays both Schwartz and, in the second act, the judge at the trial. His instructions to the jury virtually ensure a verdict of Not Guilty; he was, himself, a factory owner. Using the materials and methods of

“Thud, dead. Thud, dead” “The Triangle Factory Fire Project” Through March 20 Jewish Community Center, 1200 Edgewood Ave. $16-$24 | 461-2000 x235, jcccenterstage.org. [ REVIEW ] BY MICHAEL LASSER
The fire started on the eighth floor of the 10-story Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in Lower Manhattan at 4:45 p.m. on Saturday, March 25, 1911. Within 45 minutes, the New York City Fire Department had the blaze under control, but in only 15 minutes flames had swept through the building, killing 146 workers, most of them young immigrant women. The department’s ladders could not reach above the sixth floor, a fire escape collapsed, and the building’s owners kept an exit door locked in violation of the city’s safety code. Many of the victims were burned beyond recognition, but many others chose to jump to their deaths. A reporter named William 24 City march 9-15, 2011
Shepard described the scene with terrible brevity: “I learned a new sound that day. Thud, dead. Thud, dead.” For playwright Christopher Piehler the problem lay in dramatizing something already so intensely dramatic. What else is there to say that the event and its coverage haven’t already said? How do you illuminate something almost beyond bearing? A presentday audience seeing “The Triangle Factory Fire Project,” now at the JCC’s CenterStage, also has to get past the haunting reminder of the events of September 11, 2001, as well as current stories of union workers struggling with their superiors (whether factory owners or government officials). Piehler’s solution was to write an ensemble piece in which the nine actors step in and out of numerous characters — several victims, a bereaved mother, a young man who heroically got some of the women out, the two owners, the fire chief, police officers trying to identify the corpses, a DA and a defense attorney, and so on. He also personalized the story by giving particular attention to the otherwise anonymous Margaret
docudrama, Piehler relies heavily on contemporary newspaper accounts and courtroom testimony. The play’s first 15 minutes illuminate the recent history of the union and the struggles of the seamstresses who sewed up to 2000 shirtwaist blouses every day. They had gone on strike in 1909, though they still lacked the right to vote. The rest of the first act recreates the tragedy, while the second act focuses on the trial of the owners on charges of manslaughter. The often-gripping first act, declamatory in style, gives voice to the horror of that single hour in the heavy Russian and Jewish accents of the workers. It is a reminder of the power of language to recreate both the content and the emotional force of experience. Director Brian Coughlin’s jagged rhythm takes form as cast members enter and exit in different configurations to relate fragments of overlapping stories. But the second act, set mainly in court, slows and flattens the action through repetition, and members of the cast — especially Steve Marsocci and Joshua Radford as the two lawyers — resort to melodramatic posturing rather than the unadorned acting called for in docudrama. Repeating many of the same incidents as testimony rather than experience dissipates much of the play’s power. Piehler might have been better served by compressing the trial and having the shortened play performed without intermission. On opening night, there were more than a few gaffs, especially in the first act. Dropped cues and fumbled lines are small flaws, but each of them breaks the rhythm that gives the performance both shape and momentum. Peggy Zorn’s costumes, especially for the men, look as if they are the result of a tiny budget. Rather than trying to make sport jackets look like cutaways, it would have been better to dress the men in dark suits. Daniel Kestler’s spare set features two staircases, a couple of tables, and a balcony whose façade is adorned with blow-ups of newspaper headlines about the calamity. But nothing equals in authority the words of the women and the horror of their violently shortened lives.

Thursday, March 17th SPECIAL EVENT | Women’s History Month Film Screenings
As a thoroughly modern mademoiselle, I will admit to taking a great deal for granted — I appeared on this scene long after the bulk of the work toward equal rights was complete. Lest my generation grow stagnant and believe that the better (but imperfect) power balance between people is good enough, we have commemorative reminders in place, such as Women’s History Month, to inspire us to take up the torch and strive toward true parity. Two films series commemorating women’s continued struggle will be presented throughout March at the University of Rochester and the Little Theatre. Last week, I attended the first in a series of films presented by the Susan B. Anthony Institute for Women and Gender Studies and the Susan B. Anthony Center for Women’s Leadership at the University of Rochester’s Gowen Room in the Wilson Commons on the River Campus. The film, “Not for Ourselves Alone,” documents the friendship, and common cause toward women’s suffrage, of Susan B. and BFF Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

SPECIAL EVENT | St. Patrick’s Day Parade
As they say, everyone’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. But for some, the 37th Annual Rochester St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday, March 12, will be an excuse to get embarrassingly belligerent downtown, beginning in the morning and extending well into the night. Many of the 40,000 to 125,000 people that participate in the event each year understand that there is much more to Irish (and Irish-American) culture and history than whisky, beer, and brawls; I’m attending to be moved by Celtic music and turn green with envy at the dexterous step dancers. There might or might not be Irish cream in my coffee, but you won’t find me stumbling about or picking fights. So please celebrate sanely this year. The show begins at 12:30 p.m., following a route from the corner of East Avenue and Alexander Street to the corner of West Main Street and South Plymouth Ave. The parade’s grand marshals will be the Lloyd family, owners of Irish Imports, and honorary marshals will be Mary Williams, 50-year member of Ladies’ Ancient Order of Hibernians, and Irish musician and poet Marty O’Keefe. And of course, you’ll also see loads of area public officials, police, firemen, musicians and dancers. For more about the parade, visit rochesterparade.com. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

SPORTS | Soap Box Derby
The Soap Box Derby is a youth racing program run nationally since 1934. The design and look of the mini-racers may have changed drastically since then, but the goals have remained the same: to teach youth basic skills of workmanship, the spirit of competition, and the perseverance needed to complete a project. Also, unofficially, the importance of wearing a helmet. World championship finals are held in August at Derby Downs in Akron, Ohio, where kids aged 8-17 from throughout the United States and several foreign countries compete with the racers they have built and driven to victory in their home communities. On Saturday and Sunday, March 12-13, you can attend The Greater Rochester Soap Box Derby for youth from the northeast, held indoors at the Main Street Armory (900 East Main St.).Rochester is one of the defending World Championship Cities. The majority of the racing will take place 10 a.m.-5 p.m. each day. Admission is free open to the public.

THEATER | “Magic Time”; “Stop Kiss”
This month, two lesser-known local theater companies will present some challenging and poignant productions for discerning, up-for-something-different audiences. The Black Sheep Theatre Coalition (274 N. Goodman St., D313, Village Gate Square) offers the historically interesting “Magic Time: Early Off-Off Broadway” starting on Friday, March 11. The show will explore the achievements of Joe Cino, a Buffalo-born dancer who opened Caffe Cino, a café-theatre in Greenwich Village in 1958 that birthed the careers of a number of playwrights, the “black box” and “off-off-Broadway” aesthetic, and assisted the gay-rights movement. David Byrne will direct three one-acts from Caffe Cinospawned playwrights, including “The Loveliest Afternoon of the Year” by John Guare, “War” by Jean-Claude van Itallie, and “This is the Rill Speaking” by Lanford Wilson. Performances will run Fridays and Saturdays, March 11-26, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased by calling 861-4816. For more information, visit blacksheeptheatre.org. Out of Pocket Productions will present Diana Son’s “Stop Kiss” (pictured) at the Geva Theater Center Nextstage (75 Woodbury Blvd.) starting Friday, March 11, at 7 p.m. The play follows the life changes of stable, set-in-her-ways Manhattan traffic reporter and amateur restaurant connoisseur Callie Pax (Marcy Savastano) and idealistic and outspoken St. Louis transplant Sara (Stephanie Roosa), who unexpectedly fall for one another. Performances continue Saturday, March 12, at 1:30 & 7 p.m., Sunday, March 13, at 1:30 p.m., and Thursday-Saturday, March 17-19, at 7 p.m., with a 1:30 p.m. show on Saturday.

utterly honest concession speech that once again establishes him as a man with a future in politics. In the most literal way, the movie then moves its story with the tired device of printed text accounting for the three years that pass before the two meet by accident again. On the surface, their faltering relationship follows some of the familiar patterns of romantic comedy, but other elements transform the picture into something quite different. A quartet of serious men dressed in conservative suits and wearing fedoras, the Adjustment Bureau of the title, discuss their plan to control Norris’s actions, specifically to end his connection with Elise. When a glitch develops in their process, they reveal themselves to Norris as agents of a being they call the Chairman, what some people may regard as angels working for God, who quite simply arranges the fate of humanity; for a proper outcome of important matters, they must prevent Norris and Elise from ever seeing each other again. The rest of the movie deals with Norris’s attempts to thwart the course of life the Chairman has ordained for him. Despite the agents’ supernatural powers — all comically associated with their headgear — Norris manages by chance to find Elise again and tries to explain his plight to her, especially the reasons for his several disappearances from her life. The intervention of the Chairman’s chief agent, an enforcer, creates a terrible dilemma

for Norris, who must choose to leave Elise forever or cause her a serious injury that will ruin her career as a dancer. Most of the movie’s dialogue covers some important philosophical concepts, particularly the role of fate in human endeavor. The enforcer (Terence Stamp) provides a brief overview of human history, informing Norris that all great moments in history — the rise of the Roman Empire, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, etc. — resulted from the work of the Chairman and his Bureau, while the bad times — the Dark Ages, cruel dictatorships, global conflicts — happened when the Chairman allowed humanity to go their own way. Apparently there simply aren’t enough angels to go around, which accounts for the present state of the world. As Norris argues and events demonstrate, chance and free will now and then conspire to defeat the Chairman’s program, though the effort consumes considerable time and energy. The film essentially employs the plot of the conventional thriller to demonstrate the workings of the supernatural, with the forces that create the protagonist’s plight, the people who pursue him and in this case threaten to “erase” his brain, are not of this world, but of the next. Despite the apparent silliness of the concept (yet another from the remarkably fertile imagination of Philip K. Dick) the movie’s close attention to surface reality — it beautifully captures New York City at its best — provides a credible basis for its incredible content.
“I survived the 80’s one time already, and I don’t recall it all that fondly,” the dependably wry Craig Finn sings in The Hold Steady’s 2004 tune “The Swish.” Truthfully, I’m inclined to agree. Or maybe it’s that my adolescent memories of the decade that popularized yuppies, Reagan, and legwarmers have been infiltrated by Hollywood’s version of the 80’s, which tends to fixate primarily on the rampant materialism, the assaultive fashion, and the social drug use. I’m not saying that those things didn’t occur; I’m merely saying that they weren’t part of everybody’s life, especially girls who walked home from their messenger job to spend their evenings watching videos from the library because they were way too goody-twoshoes to score a fake ID. But my — er, that chick’s dull days look downright compelling next to
Topher Grace and Dan Fogler in “Take Me Home Tonight.” PHOTO COURTESY RELATIVITY MEDIA
“Take Me Home Tonight,” a totally laugh-free comedy that’s clearly trying to be one of those classic 80’s movies but achieves neither homage nor satire thanks to its utter blandness. Topher Grace (“That 70’s Show”) stars as Matt, fresh out of MIT but spinning his wheels slinging tapes at Suncoast Video as he contemplates his next move. It’s Labor Day weekend, 1988, when his highschool crush, Tori Frederking (Teresa Palmer, “I Am Number Four”), wanders into Suncoast, causing the lovelorn Matt to invent a plot-inducing lie about his most excellent job at Goldman Sachs in hopes of dazzling the pretty Drexel Burnham employee. But she’s not, and everyone goes home. Kidding! Tori is, of course, totally impressed and suggests that the two of them maybe meet up at the big beer blast going down later that day. But Matt isn’t rolling alone; in tow are his twin sister, Wendy (Anna Faris, “The House Bunny”), as well as his annoying best friend Barry (Dan Fogler, “Balls of Fury”), made even more obnoxious thanks to his recent firing from a high-end car dealership. Wendy has her own mini-drama, too, deciding whether to stay in Los Angeles with her lunkhead boyfriend (Chris Pratt, “Parks and Recreation”) or go to Cambridge and pursue her dream of becoming a writer. There’s really no mystery as to how anything will play out; screenwriters Jeff and Jackie Filgo (“That 70’s Show”) apparently just needed something to fill the time between Matt’s off-the-cuff fib and his eventual coming-clean with Tori, who gets to choose between staying with a liar or looking like a shallow bitch. Oh, I don’t need to tell you what happened at the party; imagine a churning blob of every 80’s-set film ever, complete with upturned collars, shade-tippin’, wangchunging, and a big bag of blow. As a matter of fact, all those white lines are being made to take the heat for the fact
that “Take Me Home Tonight” has been sitting on a shelf since 2007. I really don’t think it’s the coke’s fault. And what kind of a world is this where a tool like Ashton Kutcher is awarded A-list status but an intelligent charmer like Topher Grace can’t catch a break? Granted, he’s a bit too old to play the warmed-over John Hughes hero, though he does enjoy a couple of decent scenes with the underrated (and thanklessly bewigged) Faris, as well as Michael Biehn as his toughlove dad. Fogler, however, somehow makes his already unlikable character absolutely repellent; it’s supposed to be the hilarious fat friend role but instead plays like Li’l Kinison, a noisy, sweaty, snatch-driven mess. On the other hand, if you’re in the mood for some painfully obvious hits by Duran Duran and Dexy’s Midnight Runners — but not Eddie Money — step right the hell up. 2010 marked the 30th anniversary
of the roving film festival known as Asbury Shorts, which hits Rochester this weekend with a dozen of the world’s finest short films. The local stop is slated to showcase a few pieces by native son Matt Ehlers, whose funny first feature, “Smoking Laws,” debuted at the 2008 Rochester High Falls International Film Festival. Along with “Lunch,” which observes as Ehlers’ go-to guy Michael Koldan tries to get fired from his job in a squirmy, sexy way, Asbury Shorts will present Ehlers’ latest, “Old Timey Steroids.” Very much unlike the commercials Ehlers has recently directed for Birkenstock and Hard Rock Café, the tongue-in-cheek “Old Timey Steroids” employs desaturated colors and scratch marks to demonstrate how earlier ballplayers enhanced their performance, even risking side effects like smallpox and largepox.

WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS: A MAN WITHIN Saturday, March 12, 6 p.m., and Sunday, March 13, 7 p.m.
William S. Burroughs influenced nearly every countercultural movement in his wake. A cut-up of archival footage, home movies, and interviews with figures like Gus Van Sant, John Waters, and Patti Smith, A Man Within bridges the gap between Burroughs the icon and Burroughs the man, investigating the craft behind his art and the private self he kept hidden.

Producer Tim Burton and director Henry Selick’s (Coraline) adaptation of the Roald Dahl classic is a technical tour de force, mixing flawless stop-motion animation and truly inspired live-action sequences. Young James (Paul Terry) escapes his two sadistic aunts (Joanna Lumley and Miriam Margolyes) by climbing inside an enormous peach, embarking on a hallucinatory trans-Atlantic trip.

Handsome Highland Bungalow 54 Bellevue Drive One of the sweetest streets in Rochester winds through Highland Park to end in a cul de sac near Highland Hospital. Pinetum Drive becomes Bellevue as it descends the park from the reservoir. Distinctive colonials and cozy bungalows line the quiet street. One such house was part of a recent Landmark Society home tour and graced the December 2010 cover of American Bungalow magazine. The house next door at 54 Bellevue offers a rare opportunity to own a classic 1925 bungalow. The exterior’s horizontal lines, two low roofs, wood shingles, square column, pilasters at the corners, stone plant stands and original casement windows provide copious curb appeal. A brick driveway leads to a detached two-car garage; the front is newly landscaped with boxwood, holly and pines to be enjoyed from the open front porch. Inside, the house affords one-floor living. All three bedrooms are located behind the living room in a surprisingly open and generous floor plan. Although only 1,295 square feet, the rooms are large and light-filled. Additional space is available in a threeseason addition off the kitchen and in the basement. Prior owners used the basement extensively, and finished much of it as a family room and exercise rooms. Many of the house’s original details remain. The casement windows and hardware are beautiful; narrow plank hardwoods abound; picture molding on the living room walls and in a bedroom suggests a formality not typical of
bungalows, as does the ten-foot ceiling. Builtin bookshelves with glass doors surround the working fireplace, and built-in cabinets in the dining room provide floor-to-ceiling storage and visual interest. Trim throughout the house is gumwood, painted neutral beige. Original glass doorknobs, the milk box, wainscoting and chair rails are period pieces. More recent – perhaps from the 70s and 80s – are the bathroom and kitchen renovations. The house at 54 Bellevue is ready for its next chapter. Within walking distance of all the attractions of South Avenue and the South Wedge, historic Highland Park, and reputable School #12, it deserves and will repay a great deal of love. The property is listed at $194,000 through Robert Muoio, Nothnagle Realtors, (585) 704-4181. For more information and photographs, go to http:// rochestercityliving.com/property/R134636. by Elizabeth Teall Elizabeth Teall is a Landmark Society volunteer. 2011 City Living Sundays are coming! On Sunday, March 27, the west side will be featured from 12-4 pm at School #43, 1305 Lyell Avenue; on Sunday, April 3, the east side will be the focus from 12-4 pm at East High School, 1801 East Main Street.
