ANNUAL MANUAL: The 2012 guide to living in and visiting Rochester.

COVER STORY | BY WILLIE CLARK | PAGE 10 | PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY MATT DETURCK

The geek guide to Rochester Let’s be honest: Rochester is a pretty geeky city.

Everybody knows about The Strong’s National Museum of Play, which currently sits on various national lists as a must-see geek museum, especially with its burgeoning International Center for the History of Electronic Games. But that’s only the tip of the nerdy iceberg. Last year Rochester was ranked No. 11 in the country in terms of video-game spending.

The collegiate community surrounding the city also helps. The Rochester Institute of Technology’s graduate game-design and development program was recently ranked second in the country by the Princeton Review.

Not to be outdone, The University of Rochester was named one of the Top 50 most socially awkward colleges in the country by the website InsideCollege.

So yeah, we have some serious geek mojo.

While some of you may have already graduated from the hallowed halls of nerd-dom, to many the terms RPG, MMO, LARP, and noob might as well be a different language. Get ready to go back to school, sharpen your pencils, and clip on those pocket protectors. It’s time to level up your nerd cred.

Welcome to an introduction to several of the geekfriendly enterprises of Rochester.

The facts about MCC

I was very disappointed in the letter by CS Cavalieri (MCC and Sibley’s, Feedback, February 15). It couldn’t be more distorted.

There are 64 SUNY campuses, and Monroe Community College has the second lowest tuition. The dorms, etc. are not paid for by tuition. The dorms were built by the MCC foundation and paid for by room fees charged only to those who choose to live there. The athletic center was built with donated money. The bookstore helps support the college; it doesn’t cost the college.

As state and county support withers, MCC tuition may have to go up to keep the doors open, but it will continue to be one of the most frugally run SUNY campuses and the most affordable higher education option in the Rochester area.

Back to the future with energy

Henry Ford’s 1908 Model T was engineered to run on ethanol. At the time, farmers distilling ethanol were more common than gas stations in many areas. However, farmers could not compete with Standard Oil’s cheap gasoline.

Sadly, the rest is history.

Imagine where we would be today if we had 100 years of history of continually developing a renewable-energy mentality.

Rochester had a subway that started operating in 1927 but was shut down by 1956. Between those years, we supposedly learned that what was good for General Motors was good for America.

General Motors wanted to see everyone in an automobile.

Sadly, the rest is history.

Can you picture Rochester if the subway system of 1927 had grown and improved?

Today, it might have been a well developed, ultra clean and efficient countywide subway system. Imagine that.

These days, the topic is hydrofracking. It will provide all our energy needs for the future. It will create hundreds of thousands of jobs. It will create economic prosperity where only poverty exists now — at least that’s what gas companies like Chesapeake Energy tell the public in their slick TV commercials. Hydrofracking is the right thing at the right time. Wrong!

Corporations and the political forces that pander to them are leading America astray —again. We cannot let this happen in New York. We are smarter than that. Right?

The debate should not center on hydrofracking safety and regulation. The debate should center on any future development of fossil-fuel resources. We know fossil—fuel resources are running out. We know the burning of fossil fuels results in pollution and global warming. We have known of these ill effects for a very long time. Remember Earth Day 1970?

Now is not the time to pillage our land in a lastditch effort to extract the remaining fossil fuels. Now is the time to race to the future on many alternative fuels. US energy policy should stop development of new sources of fossil fuels.

It should set the end date for the use of fossil fuels.

We should pick up where Henry Ford left off in 1908.

We should pick up where Rochester left off in 1927.

The greatest lesson of history is that we do not learn from history. It’s time to change that. We are at the edge. To take a step forward, we must first turn around. It is that simple.

TOM JANOWSKI, GATES

Religious concerns have been increasingly more active in politics, recently reaching deep into the political process (“Religion,

Limbaugh, and America’s Misogyny,” Urban Journal). The church should return to being a religious entity for its parishioners.

It should define right and wrong for people, not governments and stop trying to create a Theocracy.

PATRICK O’NEILL

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com In 1991 in Oregon v. Smith, the Court ruled that a Native American fired for using peyote as part of a religious ceremony could be denied unemployment (“Religion, Limbaugh, and America’s Misogyny,” Urban Journal).

The court said that religious groups and individuals are not exempt from “laws of general applicability.” As the Affordable Care Act is such a law, the Catholic Church should not be allowed an exemption. If they get one, we know the Court is not only misogynistic but racist.

Preservation and the Cataract building

It’s just going to end up another restaurant that goes out of business at High Falls and taxpayers of the City of Rochester will have had their valuable tax dollars go down the drain supporting this bad idea. “Jobs” is not an excuse for a business or government to do anything that it wants.

Plus, they want to tear this great old historic building down for a few parking spaces. What a waste. Besides, does anybody really think that NAB is going to be here 10 years from now? They will sell out as soon as it seems the profitable thing to do. We need to think more broadly.

RETIRED BREWERY WORKER

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com This is a no-brainer. Allow private development for a new destination for a growing company in Rochester vs. keep a dilapidated building vacant for the rats.

Step down from your ivory towers and realize a great

opportunity when it’s staring right at you, and serve the people in your community, not the rats.

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com I work for the Genesee Brewing Company. Since North American Breweries was formed in 2009, employment has risen from 300 fulltime employees to 500 fulltime employees with benefits. None of you understand how hard city, county, and state economic development staffs work to bring jobs and to keep jobs in Rochester. They live their jobs, and should deserve more credit than they are given.

Wouldn’t your money be better spent trying to bolster our community through the United Way? How about donating to Food Link? Do any of you know that the community demands have increased by 30 percent and this organization is struggling to keep up? IMHO, taking care of the people who live in our community is much more important than rallying around a decaying building that’s outrageously expensive to repair, and it acts as cover for drug deals, prostitutes, and other thugs.

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com Microbreweries and restaurants go in and out of business all the time. Then we lose the landmark and have no “tourist attraction.” You can do better than this Mayor Richards. You must do better.

COMMON ZENSE

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com So let me get this straight. A large corporation that does a lot of good for Rochester pride and is one of the only thriving, downtown, large businesses, wants to invest money to attract attention to, and clean up our otherwise lackluster downtown.

That same corporation wants to knock down a dilapidated building, that they own, and that most people have never heard of to do it. Now some people

are fighting to stop them?

Rochester’s past is very interesting, but let’s not get crazy. Asbestos filled, squatter ridden buildings (and subways) are not what are going to turn this city around, investment and revitalizing efforts are.

OZMAN

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com I don’t think anyone values a building over job creation and the wellbeing of our community members. However, a surface parking lot will provide absolutely nothing to the residents of this community, especially in northeast Rochester (which has specifically seen the social devastation from this outdated type of “development”).

As a student and young resident of Rochester, I need to stand up for its future and try to convince NAB that they are making a longterm business and public relations mistake!

Insanity: repeating the same thing, expecting different results.

Surface parking lots have done nothing for Downtown Rochester besides destroy it.

NAB will be missing out on an incredibly great business opportunity. It shocks me to see that they can be so shortsighted and close-minded.

ZACK, RESPECTFULLY, AN ADVOCATE FOR PROGRESS

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com Ultimately, if the landmark action is approved, who is going to pay for the renovation of the building? Is NAB going to be saddled with spending $7-10 million on a project that it can’t afford or that isn’t fiscally responsible? Or can they just back out altogether and let the building crumble to a pile of rubble while also not building the visitor center? While I love historic preservation, not every building should be preserved. And sometimes you need to make pragmatic choices. Demolishing 13 Cataract is the pragmatic choice and makes the most sense.

The Detroit in our future As our Chris Fien reports, the City of Rochester is preparing to borrow from the state pension fund — so it can pay its escalating pension costs. Mayor Tom Richards says he doesn’t want to do it, but he has to come up with the money to meet the city’s obligations somehow, and he has cut as many services and employees as he can.

We’re not the only place doing this.

The New York Times reported late last month that municipalities across the state are so strapped for cash that they have turned to pension-fund borrowing out of desperation. It’s risky – “irresponsible,” some critics say – because it means they’ll probably have to make higher payments into the pension fund in the future.

A lot of what is precipitating this are the pension obligations themselves, which are expected to be $44.3 million in 2012-13. That’s up from $25.9 million in 2010-11. And that escalation is expected to continue. Local government officials have been complaining for years as pension costs have consumed larger and larger parts of their budgets.

I won’t go into the arguments about public-employee pensions here, but this issue underscores a bigger problem at the heart of the city’s financial crisis: the city’s high demand for services, and its limited tax base.

The city has lost many of its residents – taxpayers – to the suburbs. Many businesses – taxpayers also – have followed. And as the city’s population has declined, the percentage of poverty among its residents has soared, as has their need for services. And so we have fewer people of means, and fewer businesses, providing the taxes to pay for those services.

Rochester isn’t alone in this, of course.

It has happened to many American cities, and the result is no accident: anyone with a grain of common sense could predict what the exodus to the suburbs would lead to.

In a recent New York Times commentary, David Firestone highlighted one of the nation’s most dramatic examples: Detroit, which has lost about half of its population since 1950 and much of its business and industry.

They didn’t die of the plague. They moved out, often to Detroit suburbs, leaving behind poor, mostly non-white residents. Detroit’s unemployment rate is about 30 percent.

Now nearly out of money, Detroit’s city government may very well be taken

Anyone with a grain of common sense could predict what the exodus to the suburbs would lead to.” over by a state-appointed manager. The manager won’t be able to mint money; he or she will simply impose more layoffs, more cutbacks in city services.

Meanwhile, Firestone noted: “The turnaround in the auto industry brought about by the government bailout has been good news for Michigan and the region, and has lowered the state’s jobless rate to 9.3 percent from 14.1 percent in 2009.”

Why didn’t that help Detroit? Because most of the auto industry had moved to the suburbs. “The city that once teemed with auto plants now has only two,” Firestone wrote.

More than white flight and the outmigration of auto plants are at work here, of course. But the plain fact is, those suburban plants are paying taxes. They’re just not paying them to Detroit.

A real, effective emergency manager for Detroit, Firestone wrote, “would have the power to begin merging the tax base of the city with that of suburban counties in hopes of saving the region.”

That isn’t going to happen. Not in Detroit. And not, unfortunately, in the Community of Monroe. And so Rochester’s city officials will take more and more difficult steps, not because they don’t know any better or enjoy taking risks on things like the pension fund but because they have no choice.

We can debate public-employee pension costs and the role they have played in driving up the cost of government till the cows come home. But we shouldn’t pretend that they’re the chief cause of cities’ financial problems.

Nor can Rochesterians take comfort in the knowledge that we don’t have a crisis of Detroit’s magnitude. Barring a miracle, our own Detroit nightmare is just around the corner.

[ news from the week past ]

Brockport mayor arrested

Brockport Mayor Connie Castañeda was charged with 14 counts of official misconduct. Brockport Police allege that Castañeda rented rooms on the second floor of her single-family home to at least four people.

It’s against village law for more than three unrelated people to live in one home. Police also allege that the rented rooms lacked smoke alarms and fire escapes.

Castañeda was charged with official misconduct because of her position and because she benefited from allegedly violating several village ordinances.

Group pushes for trigger law

The education activist group Rochester Parents United says it will lobby state legislators for a “parent trigger” law. The law has gained national attention for giving parents a broad range of powers, from firing a superintendent to converting a school into a charter school.

RPU says the legislation is needed here because the school board and the district’s administration do not listen to parents or take their concerns seriously.

The Assembly and Senate released bills with revised statewide districts, and legislators will likely vote on the new districts this week. The bills contain written descriptions of district borders, sometimes down to the intersection where a boundary turns. The changes, at least for Rochester, weren’t immediately apparent, though Senator Joe Robach told a reporter that the University of Rochester was moved back into his 56th Senate District. The Assembly and Senate also released legislation for a constitutional amendment to put redistricting in the hands of an appointed, bipartisan 10-member panel.

Richards looks to pension borrowing

Rochester Mayor Tom Richards is weighing a controversial and some fiscal watchdogs say, irresponsible way to deal with soaring pension costs: borrowing from the state’s $140 billion pension fund. State and local governments as well as public institutions have been borrowing from the system to deal with pension obligations that they say would otherwise decimate their budgets and their communities.

“There’s no way we can pay without doing tremendous damage to the city,” Richards says. “We’re eventually going to have to [borrow]. The question is when and how much.”

Cataract fight goes on

Rich Lozyniak, CEO of North American Breweries, responded to a decision by the city’s Preservation Board to sponsor a landmark application for 13 Cataract Street. NAB wants to tear down the building for a visitors’ center, museum, and restaurant on Cataract. Lozyniak said that if NAB doesn’t get the green light soon, the company may pull out of the project all together.

Rochester’s pension costs climbed from $25.9 million in the 2010 to 2011 fiscal year, to $35.5 million in 2011-2012, and are projected to be $44.3 million in 2012-2013. Richards says the city faces a $40 million deficit going into the 2012-2013 fiscal year “The city isn’t in the business of making money,” he says. “The city is in the business of delivering services.

So the fact that I can balance the budget is not really the question. The question is, balancing the budget with what consequences?”

The state’s borrowing plan, according to the New York Times, “allows public employers to reduce their pension contributions in the short term in exchange for higher payments over the long term.”

A borrower’s contribution to the pension system in the given year would decrease, in exchange for paying the debt back, with interest, over a decade.

Critics say the borrowing only pushes the problem down the road and gambles that financial markets’ continues on page 8

Job hopefuls line up for schools project City and school district officials say they are trying to make sure as many local people work on the Rochester school district’s massive construction project as possible.

Construction on the $325 million first phase of one of the largest construction projects in the city’s history is scheduled to begin this summer. Electricians, plumbers, heavyequipment operators, carpenters, laborers, and pipefitters are some of the workers needed, says Claude Watt, deputy program director for Gilbane/Savin, the company overseeing the project to renovate and upgrade city schools.

Three construction contracting firms — Campus Construction Management, Le Chase, and the Pike Company — are each responsible for two sites, and they do the hiring, Watt says.

And it’s possible that the larger constructions sites, such as Schools 50 and 58, will require hundreds of workers, he says.

Hiring local workers as well as businesses owned by women and minorities were important considerations when the legislation was created. But that can be a challenge, since some minority-owned businesses are too small to bid on some of the work. And hiring them may mean employing non-union workers.

4,485 US servicemen and servicewomen, 318 Coalition servicemen and servicewomen, and approximately 105,553 to 115,288 Iraqi civilians have been killed in Iraq from the beginning of the war and occupation to March 9.

No American casualties were reported after November 14.

But hiring union workers could employ tradespeople who may not live in the city, where the jobs are desperately needed.

Reaching Occupational Achievement for Residents of Rochester, a training academy for experienced and non-experienced trade workers, has been created by the schools modernization program. The goal is to help bring people into the labor force who are interested in construction work but haven’t found a way into the field.

A one-week application period that ended last week drew more than 800 applications.

ACTIVISM | BY JEREMY MOULE

Occupy Rochester’s next act It’s lunchtime in downtown Rochester on an unseasonably warm Wednesday. Men and women dressed for the office walk briskly on the sidewalks near Washington Square Park.

Except for the dozen or so tents that make up the Occupy Rochester encampment and the ambient sounds of passing traffic and wind gusts, the park is quiet and unremarkable.

A woman, Paige, says many of the active Occupiers are at work, school, the library, tending to personal matters, or visiting family. A few people are in the tents, asleep.

Paige won’t give her full name but says she’s a plaintiff in Occupy Rochester’s pending lawsuit against the city. She owns a home near Jay Street, has an associate’s degree in human services from Monroe Community College, and has worked for Head Start for 11 years. She says she sees problems in the city: underperforming schools, vacant properties, absentee landlords. Occupy is a way to start chipping away at all that, she says.

But some critics see Occupy Rochester as a sparse, unfocused group of entitled layabouts who are essentially squatting in the park. In an hour at Washington Square, several people yell “Get out of the park!” or some variant.

Too many people are uninformed or misinformed about the movement, Paige says.

“They drive by. They don’t even stop to talk to people.”

And they don’t attend any of the group’s meetings or programs, she says.

The park serves as a hub, literal and figurative, for activism as well as a resource center, the Occupiers say. That’s why they’re fighting to stay.

“Using the space for political education has been very valuable,” says Colin O’Malley, lead organizer for Metro Justice.

O’Malley was one of the people arrested during the initial occupation of the park.

(All charges against the Occupiers were eventually dismissed.)

Occupy Rochester is at a turning point.

It’s the last remaining full-time physical occupation in the state. Even Occupy Wall Street, the collective that birthed the movement, got booted from Zuccotti Park.

Rochester’s Occupiers have been staying in Washington Square Park under an agreement with the city. But Mayor Tom Richards now says he wants the group out. In response, several Occupiers are suing the city.

But the group can’t stay in the park forever. So the question facing the local City

march 14-20, 2012

movement is the same one that Occupiers across the country are grappling with: What will the movement be when the occupations end? Some groups have had to consider that question sooner than others. Paige recently attended a workshop in Boston — Occupy Boston was evicted from a public park in December — that deals with that question.

There are differing opinions on how essential Washington Square Park is or should be to Occupy Rochester’s mission.

CJ Miller is a retail worker who has been part of Occupy Rochester since its time at the Liberty Pole. She was one of the people arrested on the first night the group tried to occupy Washington Square Park, and she’s active with Occupy’s Gender Equality Working Group.

The park occupation was a tactic that was important when it happened, she says. But she’d like to see the group turn more of its attention to specific actions.

She says the group should keep its schedule of regular general assemblies: the movement’s decision-making forums.

The value of the Occupy movement is that it’s brought together activists who work on different but related issues.

Through the movement, LGBT activists are working alongside housing activists, for example. It’s shown that issues are often more closely connected than it may at first seem.

Occupy Rochester often focuses on education, advocacy, and awareness building. It holds Occupy Your Health teach-ins for people to learn about subjects like alternative medicine and natural healing. Occupiers head downtown a couple of times a week to talk to people about the movement.

Occupy Rochester, Take Back the Land, and their allies helped a local family get a 30-day reprieve from eviction.

Housing defense, as activists call the effort, has become a key focus for many

Occupy groups across the country. (See occupyourhomes.org for more information.)

Most recently, some Occupiers mobilized to try to stop Amtrak from evicting a seven-year-old “encampment” near the train station. The eviction was supposed to happen at the end of February, Acuff says, but so far no action has been taken against the residents. Acuff is an active Occupier with a master’s degree from the University of Rochester. He works at a homeless shelter.

Occupiers have also worked with neighboring St. Mary’s Church and other agencies to help several homeless people find places to live.

Occupy Rochester plans to Occupy the March 16 state Republican convention, which is being held in Rochester. The group also plans an April 1 day of action to protest and raise awareness about laws that criminalize poverty, such as restrictions on panhandling.

Thursday, March 8, was International Women’s Day. The threat of rain was present

all day, but Occupy Rochester’s Gender Equality Working Group went ahead with a planned rally and speak out As the 5 p.m. start time drew near, the skies opened up.

Activists are keenly aware that weather can keep people from coming to rallies and protests, especially when the activities are outdoors. The milder weather the day before the rally brought back a few

previous overnight Occupiers, bumping those numbers up to about a dozen, says Brian Lenzo, an active participant in the local movement.

Thursday’s poor weather, however, kept rally attendance to roughly a dozen people.

Ultimately, participants stood at a corner of the park, holding a pro-choice banner.

Drivers honked as they went past.

In a sense, this is where the Occupy movement has excelled: It’s got Americans — including Rochesterians — focusing on the disparities between the wealthiest 1 percent and everyone else. People are talking about the ways the 1 percent profit at the expense of the 99 percent. They’re denouncing the abuses committed by big banks and corporate giants.

What the movement needs to do now is evolve. How that happens is unclear, at least for the moment. The movement energized a generation of activists and shifted national discussion. The Occupiers want to keep that going.

“I think it’s important that we know that Occupy is something bigger than the park,” O’Malley says.

performance will improve over the next decade — by no means a certainty.

But it’s clear that Richards sees the borrowing as a life raft to get the city through the next few years of budgetbusting pension payments. After that, he says, the city’s pension contribution will gradually decrease as system reforms kick in. And hopefully, the markets will improve, he says.

“It’s going to cost us more in the long run, but you live another day,” he says.

“It’s not a very good way to do it, but if it’s the only choice I have, I’ll eventually have to. I’m just not willing to do the kind of damage to the city that I would have to do to balance the budget.”

The city estimates that its pension contribution will plateau at around $65 million in the 2014 to 2015 fiscal year, and then start to drop.

Monroe County, Syracuse, Buffalo, Nassau and Suffolk Counties, and the New York Public Library have all borrowed from the state pension fund since the mechanism was approved

by Governor David Paterson in 2010.

New York state and local governments are borrowing $750 million this year, says the New York Times, to pay their pension bills.

Of course, pension-fund borrowing is a short-term solution to structural budget problems. Over the long term, Richards still has his sights on getting more money from the state. Rochester’s representatives, business leaders, and others have long clamored for aid parity with Buffalo and Syracuse, but Richards says the message is finally starting to take hold in Albany.

“If I can get parity in place, I can get through this,” he says.

Dining large) at The Old Toad (277 Alexander St., 232-2626, theoldtoad.com) sets the standard; haddock is dipped in Old Toad Nut Brown beer batter and flawlessly fried, then presented to you with crisp chips, green peas, and a zesty, complex tartar sauce. But you may surprise yourself by forgoing the stellar fish in favor of The Old Toad’s positively inspired meatless entrees, like the yummy Arrogant beer bangers ($12).

Imagine the stuffing you’ve always wanted made into a vegetarian sausage of portobellos, red onions, walnuts, dried cranberries, baby spinach, Stilton cheese, and Arrogant Bastard Ale. Enjoy it atop a bed of mashed potatoes and peas that’s been smothered with a vegetarian onion gravy.

You won’t miss the meat.

Observing Lent? The fish and chips at The Old Toad are just one of the area’s satisfying meatless options. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

folks at Elmwood take their fish fry seriously, offering a good-sized fillet of Icelandic haddock either beer-battered, breaded, or broiled ($12.99). I went for the perfectly done broiled version, and though the cold, crunchy cole slaw could have used a little more flavor, nothing would have been able to compare to the preseasoned salt ‘n’ vinegar French fries. Anyone who has tried to keep their fries vinegared knows that even the crispiest specimens can quickly become tangy mush, making these awesome spuds a godsend. Oh, and this printed on the menu: “We’ll buy you a drink if you spot a food critic.” My sister nearly sold me down the river for a beer!

There isn’t any ancient Lenten law, as far as I’m aware, decreeing that thy fish must lie unsauced on thy plate. Truth be told, few things instill more faith in the existence of a higher power than the heavenly blend of aromatics in the fish phat prigkhin ($14.95) at The King and I (1455 E. Henrietta Road, 4278090, thekingandithaicuisine.com). Chunks of battered orange roughy sit in a spicy chiliginger sauce, flecked with Thai basil and loaded with bright vegetables like broccoli, green beans, and zucchini. The King and I offers a number of seafood dishes at once unfamiliar and comforting, including combination dishes that showcase shrimp, squid, scallops, and fish all together ($15.95). (Word to the fry-weary: the proteins in the spicy, creamy Evil Jungle Prince preparation are thankfully not battered.)

The King and I also features enough tofu and veggie-centric options to satisfy the abstaining carnivores who just aren’t down with fish.

Plenty of fish [ ROUND UP ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

In my many years of studying you humans, I’ve noticed that in the same way the Irish population skyrockets on St. Patrick’s Day, the number of faithful Christians seems to mysteriously increase come Lent. People who don’t usually identify as devout are all of a sudden saddling themselves with restrictions, dietary and otherwise. Clearly there are more fun occasions to abruptly find religion, but anything that motivates people to take stock of their behavior is typically a worthy endeavor.

Perhaps the most widely observed practice during Lent is the abstention from meat and poultry products on Fridays between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday, and here in Western New York, that can often mean a fish fry. Read on as we track down a few decent options for you. If you’re looking for a little more variety and a lot less grease in your Friday meatlessness — or almost any day of the week, really — we’ve got you covered as well.

Please note that we are not, in any way, saying that these are the only fish or meatless options in town, nor are we saying these are necessarily the best. Consider this a way to get the conversation started. Do you have a favorite that we didn’t include? Please tell us all about it by commenting on this article at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

Don’t even bother calling in an order without already having a to-go menu from Kithnos Seafood Market (1775 N.

Not that it’s easy to make a decision anyway, between dinners featuring main dishes like crab cakes ($7.99) or fried oysters ($9.49) or broiled swordfish ($9.49) or coconut shrimp ($9.49). But Kithnos had me at catfish ($8.99), singing with Cajun spices and accompanied by a scoop of traditional macaroni salad as well as a whole litter of piping-hot hush puppies. Of course, you could always just pick up some fresh fish to prepare in your own kitchen, rewarding yourself with some rich lobster bisque ($2.49 small/$3.99 large) in honor of your culinary initiative.

So what if the Fruits de Mer platter ($58 small/$98 large) at Restaurant 2 Vine (24 Winthrop St., 454-6020, 2vine.com) doesn’t exactly scream “Lenten sacrifice”? If God didn’t want you to partake of fresh chilled oysters, shrimp, crab claws, and lobster, then I doubt He would have made it available. Too decadent? Fine; you’ll just have to make do with the tender roasted monkfish osso buco ($16 lunch/$29 dinner), plated with velvety saffron risotto, citrus tomato sauce, and garnished with a bright gremolata. Or you can always make your way through the consistently delicious moules mariniere ($14 lunch/$19 dinner), a pile of plump mussels steamed in white wine with shallots and served alongside a generous heap of fries.

THE GEEK GUIDE TO ROCHESTER

[ FEATURE ] BY WILLIE CLARK | photos by matt deturck

Let’s be honest: Rochester is a pretty geeky city. Everybody knows

about The Strong’s National Museum of Play, which currently sits on various national lists as a must-see geek destination, especially with its burgeoning International Center for the History of Electronic Games. But that’s only the tip of the nerdy iceberg. Last year Rochester was ranked No. 11 in the country in terms of video-game spending. The collegiate community surrounding the city also helps. The Rochester Institute of Technology’s graduate game-design and development program was recently ranked second in the country by the Princeton Review. Not to be outdone, The University of Rochester was named one of the Top 50 most socially awkward colleges in the country by the website InsideCollege.

So yeah, we have some major geek mojo.

While some of you may have already graduated from the hallowed halls of nerd-dom, for many readers the terms RPG, MMO, LARP, and noob might as well be in a different language. Get ready to go back to school, sharpen your pencils, and clip on those pocket protectors. It’s time to level up your nerd cred. Welcome to an introduction to some of the geek-friendly enterprises of Rochester.

COMPUTER SCIENCE 1 0 1 : I N T R O D U C TI O N TO ‘HACKING’ Even getting into Interlock Rochester’s space in the Hungerford building is a testament to the organization’s mission. Keys? They don’t need no stinking keys. The hacker group’s front door is locked by an individualized ibutton device that members swipe in front of a sensor. The group-created electronic locks allow members a creative way to lock, unlock, and enter the shared work space.

The electric-powered locks were one of Interlock’s first group projects. “I had to figure that out, which was like, ‘I’m just a designer, this isn’t Photoshop anymore,’” says Brian Boucheron, president of Interlock Rochester.

“That was my first experience with doing a project in this community. I didn’t know how to do the electrical engineering part, so there was an electrical engineer who helped me with that… I had trouble programming. Every step where I got kind of stuck, there was somebody there to help out.”

That kind of cooperative attitude isn’t what you might imagine when the term “hacker” comes to mind. Hacker spaces, despite the negative connotation of the h-word, are more communal centers for technology enthusiasts that work together on fixing, creating, taking apart, and understanding how the world around us operates.

“The hacker-space idea — hackers in general — are getting a more positive aspect on the name I think,” says Mark Manning, vice president of Interlock. “Even 10 City march 14-20, 2012

[Facebook founder] Mark Zuckerberg was talking about how he’s a hacker; I think it’s coming back around that hackers are cool innovators and technologist lovers.”

“Our goal is really to just have a physical space [where] we can do stuff. Bring in your big toys that you can’t have in your apartment and share them,” Boucheron says.

Inside the space is a labyrinth of electronics, machines, pieces, and parts.

There are robots and monitors, a whole room dedicated to ham radios, and a networking/ server room. The group gives people a chance to work on equipment they might not otherwise be able to purchase themselves, or access regularly. Membership also includes

the group’s most important resource: shared brain power.

“That’s really what I see as the coolest part of it,” says Manning. “Our backgrounds are so weirdly different, insane ends of the spectrum.

But we all have this commonality that we want to learn different avenues of knowledge.”

Current Interlock projects are as varied as the members’ interests. One project has a webcam rigged to a pen plotter, which captures the input from the camera and then has the image traced out in pen. Another is a 3D printer that runs a plastic element through a heater (think hot-glue gun) before raising itself up a layer and repeating the process, creating a three-dimensional object as a result.

If the world beyond a computer screen is more your playground, perhaps you may be more interested in wireless security, car starters, or even a computer-controlled cheese cooker. Interlock is working on those, too.

The group has been around for two and a half years, and currently has 25 members at various levels. It also offers classes and community events. Past sessions have included lightning talks (brief, lessthan-five-minute presentations on various topics), lock-picking classes, and networking workshops. Even with all the different facets to the group,

Interlock Rochester runs a “hacker” space in the Hungerford building on Main Street. Members — including group leaders Brian Boucheron (left) and Mark Manning — work on a variety of projects, including everything from 3D printers to a computer-controlled cheese cooker.

its members are still careful of the word association implied by “hacker.”

“Somewhere along the line, the word ‘hacker’ got twisted,” Boucheron says. “To me a hacker was somebody who just wants to really know a lot about something in a really in-depth fashion. A great hack, it’s not like a cob job; it’s a cool solution to a problem. So obviously there’s a split there between what people think the word means.”

“It’s a completely different definition,” Manning says. “It’s what we think the original definition has always been, but it scares the crap out of my grandparents and mom. I just tell them we’re a geek workshop.”

Interlock Rochester will host an open house on Friday, March 16, at 7 p.m. For more information visit interlockopenhouse. eventbrite.com.

A D VA N C E D D U N G E O N S & D R A G O N S 252 : THE ROCHESTER S C I - F I / R O L E P L AY G E E K M E E T- U P G R O U P You’ve probably at least heard of Dungeons & Dragons. The dice, the characters, the marathon-length games are often sources of mockery for geek culture. But the truth is, D&D and role-playing games like it are an opportunity for people to get together and build characters, level up friendships, and adventure in worlds otherwise unknown. The Rochester Sci-Fi/Roleplay Geek Meet-Up Group brings together area aficionados of card games, RPGs, and board games, all in one space where they can hang out, organize events, and socialize with others who share an interest in gaming. But you can keep Rich Uncle Pennybags at home; this isn’t about Monopoly or any of your average board games.

“It’s kind of based on the social interaction of those four guys sitting around. They can trade, work, fight, whatever with one another,” says Bill Delaney, former organizer of the group. “Rather than roll the dice — 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, oh, go directly to jail — it’s a very different idea of board gaming than you

would really have. It’s not even like Risk, since most of the randomness is taken out of it. It’s more based around strategy.”

The meet-up group started in 2009 and currently has 170 active members, with a core of a few dozen. Most of the members are in their 30s and 40s, and the group draws people from all walks of life: teachers, grocery-store clerks, factory workers, and even servicemen have all been part of the group over the years.

The group meets on the second Monday of every month at the Henrietta Panera, and it is free to join. Monthly meetings cover a variety of subjects, from book discussions, news, and even some hypothetical discussions on everything from historical debates (what if certain events changed or never happened?) to technological concerns (why haven’t we gotten to Jetsons-esque flying cars yet?).

The group also puts on mini-conventions every couple of months, usually day-long events that include morning and afternoon gaming sessions. The mini-cons are usually a mix of experienced and casual/ new gamers.

“There’s a lot of people who don’t want to spend a couple of hours figuring out what their character is, helping troubleshoot a game, all of that. So what we offer is everything from kind of a jumpin experience, right up to how immersive [a person] wants to get,” Delaney says.

But for the hardcore, the truly dedicated, the group offers a chance to dig deep into the games.

“I currently run a D&D game that is actually three years old this year,” says Dan Homer, current organizer for the group.

Even though the organizers see a difference in the sit-down-and-play type of role-playing game as opposed to live-action role playing, the group still acknowledges that it may take some effort for new people to come out and join. But they encourage people who are interested to stop in and see for themselves.

“There’s an awful lot of people who are very shy about meeting in a Panera with a bunch of guys who do role-playing, because they’re afraid we’re going to break out books, dice, and that they’ll be seen in public doing this verboten thing,” Delaney says.

“Especially for someone who wants to come out of the so-called closet — yeah, I’m a geek, these are the people I hang out with — we give them the experience saying, Hey, this is a great group of people to hang out with,” says Bill Horst-Kotter, current assistant organizer of the group.

But for Winterfell, a chapter of the national Dagorhir LARPing group, the past years have seen a decline in numbers, even after a huge spike in interest just a few years back. At its largest the group had around 60 members, with the group now fluctuating between five and 15.

“The thing that really kind of drew me to it and has kept me around is the fact that you get to go out and kind of experience a little bit of history,” Hewett says. “You might not be doing things exactly the right way, but you kind of feel like you’re experiencing a little bit of history.” continues on page 12

Nerd is the word continues from page 11

In 2009, the Discovery Channel’s “Wreckreation Nation” featured an episode about Dagorhir, and the local chapter saw huge growth in numbers. The group soon found out that such quick growth wasn’t necessarily sustainable, and people were coming out to give it a try, but weren’t becoming dedicated to the game and sticking around. The core of the Winterfell group has now shifted toward the Syracuse area, where a more active group currently practices.

Given the actual physical demands and sword skills used in LARPing, a certain amount of training, practicing, and athleticism is required. That’s not even considering the financial component of purchasing armor and weaponry. You don’t want something that isn’t going to protect you when you get hit by a sword.

“The more you put into it the more you get out of it. But you’ve got to be willing to but something into it,” Hewett says.

Some of those benefits may be more tangible than just an excuse to own cool armor or weapons. Unlike other types of role playing that focus on the imagination of a player, LARPing actually teaches its practitioners how to sword fight. Hewett recommends the books “Viking Weapons and Combat Techniques” and “Sigmund Ringeck’s Knightly Arts of Combat” as good places to start reading up on sword skills.

And most importantly of all, it also teaches some self-defense techniques. “If a zombie apocalypse hits, I’m the kind of guy to look for, because I’ll be walking around with a bunch of armor on, killing zombies with swords and guns. I might

actually be able to survive for a little while,” Hewett says.

E X T R A C R E D IT: T H E FORCE IS STRONG W IT H T H E S E O N E S If something out of this world is more your light speed, then there is a segment within the local costumed-play community that may be right up your galaxy. Garrison Excelsior is the Upstate New York chapter of the 501st Legion of Imperial Stormtroopers, a reenactment group based around the “Star Wars” universe. The group has more than 5500 members worldwide; the local chapter has 50 active members, 20 of them in the Rochester area. Also — and this is rare for the cosplay world — the group operates with the blessing of Lucasfilm, which owns the “Star Wars” franchise.

In Garrison Excelsior you’ll find costumes that run the gamut from storm troopers to biker scouts, Boba Fetts to Darth Vaders, and even Starkiller from “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed” video-game series.

Darren Blum, an officer in Garrison Excelsior, chose Darth Maul as his first costume. It took only a month to create — quick by comparison to some of the more elaborate costumes — and he had it ready for the original release of “Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace.”

His storm-trooper costume took longer; he worked on it bit by bit over

The Upstate New York chapter of the 501st Legion of Imperial Stormtroopers — a reenactment group based around the “Star Wars” universe — includes more than 20 members in Rochester. Members create elaborate costumes and appear at fundraisers and other events to benefit children’s charities.

Plastic has a good selection of Gashapon, or “blind-box” collectibles, and often is home to DIY toy-decorating events.

For Blum, when asked which of the “Star Wars” movies was his favorite, he went with “Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope,” the first film in the franchise, released in 1977. It was also the first “Star Wars” film that he saw, and what got him interested in the series in the first place.

“We may grow old, but we don’t have to grow up,” Blum says.

several years, learning how to vacuum-form plastic in order to mold the outfit. But the costume that really takes the cake is Blum’s Chewbacca. The Wookie took more than four months of latch hooking, and approximately 40 hours just to create the mask. Blum estimates that he spent more than 500 hours on that costume alone.

drummer Sam Tritto and bassist Rob Kissner’s penchant for usurping control of the stereo at college parties. Their musical domination has continued over the past five years with hundreds of rowdy live performances that inspired audiences from Maine to North Carolina to dance themselves into the Atlantic. This spirited sextet has renovated the reggae sound with a festive, upbeat approach to Jamaican rocksteady and ska. The band has two EP’s and two full-length albums to its credit and is expecting its 2011 release, “Tale of My Life,” to advance its monolithic musical saga. — BY DAVID YOCKEL JR.

Six-string sermon [ review ] by frank de blase

After some dead reckoning at The Dryden with the noir set, I set out for the Dinosaur for some key lime pie and the blues Thursday night. Nashville guitar slinger Anthony Gomes was laying it down trio style, with just the right amount of blue-eyed soul and white-boy rock ’n’ roll.

Gomes is a solid sender on the guitar, letting it take off on its own between vicious, rhythmic jabs. It’s “Texas Flood” in its attack, “Rainbow Bridge” in its sustain. The boy can sing, too, wailing salty through the second set that — with its classic quotes and dynamic ups and downs — came off as one big song; a salacious six-string sermon, if you will. At one point he asked for an “amen,” and he got a whole roomful of them.

Saturday night, I took the journey out to the Lovin’ Cup to dig The Dan Eaton Band Flip Flop sets (four in total) with Seneca Falls-Ithaca-based Infrared Radiation Orchestra. Eaton’s band takes on the sound of the singer-songwriter plugged in, turned up, and rocked out

— Springsteen without the histrionics or grunts. And his band is more than capable of filling in the blanks or, in some cases, letting them be.

A special treat for any Rochester rock ’n’ roll historians in the audience was when Lotus STP’s Stan The Man took the mic to sing a most righteous version of “Driving The Wrong Car.” It was as if he’d always sung with this band. What a great song. He got up with The Infrared Radiation Orchestra later to pull off some equally righteous work on the Theremin.

IRO rocked hard, obscure, and deep.

It was part psychedelic, part garage a la Radio Birdman or The MC-5. Switching off between a battered Strat and an equally battered Moserite (first choice for The Ventures and the Ramones), guitarist Kim Draheim knocked me out with his savage playing. This was no surprise; I’ve been seeing this guy since the mid-1980’s, when I was underage and he played in Static Cling and used to tear up the solo on Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves of London.” AHHH-WOOO….

Music

Thursday, March 15

and me it’s like our little project. With the John Payton Project, it’s kind of torn between becoming Drew [Ballavia]’s band for part of the show, it becomes John [Payton]’s band for part of the show, it becomes my band for part of the show. With Turning Colors I feel that it’s my band all the way through.

In these other bands, is your style curtailed or held back perhaps? Do you find yourself pulling punches?

Absolutely. I have to taper to what the music calls for. I don’t have a problem doing that, but there’s that certain voice and expression that I want to have.

So Turning Colors has no limits?

Other bands I’ve brought an idea down and sometimes it’s, This is too heavy. Or, This is too this. Or, This is too that. With Turning Colors, we don’t have that, we will pursue anything.

The blues in turning colors Turning Colors reverbnation.com/turningcolors [ INTERVIEW ]By Frank De Blase

Whether you’ve seen guitarist Bob Olson when he was in The Buddhahood, or in the powerhouse frenzy known as The John Payton Project, the man stands out. Sure, he blends and mixes seamlessly with his bands as any good musician, but that’s due in large part to his other project, Turning Colors, a progressive blues-rock trio where he can get all his ya-yas out. Though the band has stuck together and has continued to write, it has laid somewhat dormant for most of its 20-year history — until now.

For the 44-year-old guitar-slinging Olson, Turning Colors is rock without compromise.

It is his truth. It is his sound. Along with bassist Dan Brewer and drummer Marc DeSalvo, Olson turns heads in Turning Colors with the band’s thoughtful melodic approach, rhythmic drive, and monster guitar. It’s big, bad, and beautiful. It calls to mind a time when big arena rockers like Robin Trower and even Johnny Winter blurred the lines and retro-fitted the blues to give rock ’n’ roll some added swagger and sting. This is pure guitarhero stuff, where Olson — and the whole trio, actually — measures up to anyone in the genre, past or present.

16 City march 14-20, 2012

There’s a Turning Colors album currently being tweaked in Philadelphia by producer Jeff Towne, and it is set to drop next month.

Olson put down the guitar long enough to put some “A’s” to our “Q’s.” An edited transcript of the interview appears below.

CITY: What made Turning Colors go into hibernation?

Bob Olson: The band actually started in 1993.

That went for about four years. We started playing more gigs, but then my drummer started having kids and his time got a little constrained. I started playing with Tony Cavagnaro in The Mysterious Blues Band.

Turning Colors never really broke up. We kept playing together and writing songs. We’ve been songwriting together for 20 years now. That’s why we have such a backlog of material.

What got things going again?

Marc and I were writing songs and I was laying down the bass tracks. His brother-inlaw plays bass and he started coming down to help us out. And I was like, “Let’s book a gig.”

And we decided to keep it going.

What’s the difference for you between this band and The John Payton Project or The Buddhahood?

The thing that’s different about this band is I feel it’s more entirely mine. Between Marc

Would you say Turning Colors is kind of a pressure valve, allowing you to vent styles and tones the other bands don’t? And consequently, does that keep everyone happy?

Exactly. This way I can play whatever I want: blues, rock, reggae…

What got you into the guitar?

When I was in like the second grade I got a KISS album and I was like, “Wow, I want to do that.” By the time I was 9 or 10, I started playing guitar. I started getting into people like Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush, The Pat Travers Band, of course Jimi Hendrix, and Robin Trower — more heavy hitters than KISS.

What has remained constant about your playing over the years?

My work ethic. I put everything I can into a song. I practice constantly. I’m at the practice space five or six hours a night, four or five nights a week.

What about gigs?

I’m not looking to take every gig we can get.

I don’t want to play in local bars where we’re schlepping our own P.A. I want to go to places that have a sound system, a stage, and a light show, so we can come out and look better, sound better. We are more of a concert style band than a bar band.

ALT/COUNTRY | KATE AND COREY Kate Shaffer and Corey Coleman are a full-time acoustic duo “surviving on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, rice, and crappy coffee,” according to its website. In just the past six months, the partners have taken their blend of indie-pop and country from the streets of downtown Buffalo into some of Western New York’s largest venues. Kate and Corey are humble musicians whose affection for their material — as well as for each other — is palpable. The duo’s songwriting is solid and the harmonies are sultry. But what truly sets these two apart is their desire to be heard. Their work ethic and respect for the independent scene just pours out of the music. So come thirsty.

CLASSICAL | CHAPEL CONCERT BY CANDLELIGHT I have a confession to make: I go ga-ga for Franz Liszt. So when Peter DuBois, music director at Third Presbyterian Church, e-mailed me to say that pianist Thomas Pandolfi would be playing a candlelight concert with five works by Liszt, I put it on my calendar — and so should you. On the program is no less than Liszt’s Consolation No. 3 in D-Flat Major, a gem that hangs its existence on a sustained, low D-flat. The concert will also include two etudes by Frederic Chopin and a solo version of George Gershwin’s Concerto in F. Thomas.

ALT-ROCK | TWIN ATLANTIC On Monday the Club at Water Street will play host to Twin Atlantic, a loud, powerful foursome from Glasgow, Scotland.

But when it comes to music, the devil is in the details.

Steven Marsocci and Stefan Cohen in “Imagining Madoff,” now on stage at the JCC. PHOTO BY STEVEN LEVINSON

When Madoff made off “Imagining Madoff” Through March 25 JCC Centerstage, 1200 Edgewood Ave. $18-$26 | 461-2000 x235 jcccenterstage.org [ REVIEW ] BY MICHAEL LASSER

Less than two years ago, Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel threatened legal action against Deborah Margolin’s “Imagining Madoff,” a play that imagined a conversation between Wiesel and Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff. Margolin’s revised version, which replaced Wiesel with a fictional writer and Holocaust survivor named Solomon Galkin, is now playing at CenterStage at the Jewish Community Center. He is not Wiesel but similarities between them remain.

The play is not a docudrama. It is not, as the Coming Attractions used to blare, “Torn from the Headlines!” In fact, it barely mentions what Madoff did to so many people including Wiesel, and so many charitable organizations as well.

Her assumption that the audience knows the story frees Margolin to move behind the news and beneath the facts to do what the title promises — either imagine Madoff or watch Madoff imagining 20 City march 14-20, 2012

himself. Under the sharp eye of director Brian Coughlin, the uninterrupted 105-minute work emerges as a morality play shaped implicitly by the facts of the story before, during, and after Madoff ’s trial, and explicitly by its larger themes of identity and behavior, and the relationships between what is perceived and what is so.

“Madoff ” has three characters and a stage divided by Scenic Designer Daniel Kester and Lighting Director Thomas Habecker into three distinct playing areas: in the center a single chair for Madoff, dressed in the characterless work clothes of a convict; to one side Galkin seated in his study of overloaded book shelves and heavy leather chairs; and to the other side a grand jury room in which Madoff ’s former secretary testifies.

As the play moves between the three characters, and as Madoff eventually visits Galkin for a conversation that lasts all night and requires lubrication from a bottle of good scotch, it becomes clear that Madoff sits, often arrogantly, between the man who represents poetry, history, heritage, and faith, and the woman who does her best to speak accurately even though she saw everything and understood little.

Between two people, each of whom

serves the truth differently, Madoff refuses to feel guilt. Instead he talks profanely about power, money, sex and desire, the stupidity of other people, and dreams (including one in which he has a vagina instead of a penis, and finds that it is shaped like a wallet).

The climax between Galkin and Madoff rests on Jewish tradition — forms of observance but also the submission to authority that also requires its questioning.

The scene in which Galkin teaches Madoff to don the phylacteries, as Orthodox Jews do for daily prayers every morning, is a movingly intimate moment. Soon, though, the two men argue over the alwaystroubling story of Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac. To punish his friend’s naïve belief in morality rather than from his own underdeveloped sense of wrongdoing, Madoff comes perilously close to confessing his crime, but the scene’s defining emotions needed to be stronger.

Stefan Cohan as Madoff and Steven Marsocci as Galkin give solid performances, but Madoff ’s shame when Galkin expresses his faith in his “dear friend” felt closer to embarrassment, and Galkin’s complex but ultimately rocklike faith over the Binding of Isaac felt too soft, too much like the cliché of a Holocaust survivor as a wise but gentle saint. Didn’t anybody cruel or even ordinary perish in the ovens? If every survivor is a saint, then sainthood has no meaning. I wish Marsocci’s Gaskin had emerged with not only the resilience and wisdom sometimes to be found in selfcontradiction but also the fire.

The practicality and decency in Madoff ’s secretary, the play’s third character, provided a strong counterpoint to the other two characters. Played

by Stephanie Sheak, she has no name and never rises from behind the desk, but her performance was nuanced and intelligent. At first she did not seem to be very perceptive, but by the end, she has come to accept her self-imposed sense of accountability. Watching her learn the need to face her failure made for gripping theater. I have not seen Sheak onstage before, but I will watch for her name in the future. She also had a first-rate New York City accent, a compliment you rarely get to pay actors these days.

The season’s first talk on Tuesday, March 20, covers the late head of Apple Corporation, with a review of Walter Isaacson’s “Steve Jobs” presented by Gary J.

Future topics include the legendary Rin Tin Tin, the events leading up to President Garfield’s assassination, and the sacred and profane life of master painter Caravaggio.

SPECIAL EVENT | Maple Sugaring Weekend

Springtime may arrive late in the north, but its sweetness is enhanced by the annual maple sugar offerings, which require the long, cold winters to produce. Learn more about the process of making maple syrup at one of the local events taking place this weekend and next. For more events, visit our calendar at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

The 34 Annual Maple Sugaring Weekends Event at RMSC’s Cumming Nature Center (6472 Gulick Road, Naples), held Saturdays and Sundays, March 17-18 and 24-25, explores the science of maple-syrup production, allowing participants to learn how a tree makes sap, and how humans take over from there. The program includes 100 percent pure maple-syrup tastings at the sugarhouse, sugaring demos 10 a.m.-3 p.m., and pancake meals in the visitors center 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Pancake meals cost $7-$10. Program admission sans the meal is $3 per person, or $10 per family. For more information, call 374-6160 or visit rmsc.org.

Genesee Country Village & Museum (1410 Flint Hill Road, Mumford) will hold its annual Maple Sugar Festival (pictured) on Saturdays and Sundays, March 17-18 and 24-25, 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Walk the museum trails, partake of hands-on crafts and games, visit the Sugar Camp with its log sugar shack, view demos, and enjoy syrups made from birch sap and other plant species. An all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast with sausage and real maple syrup will be offered each day 9 a.m.-1 p.m. for $6-$8. Admission to the Maple Sugar Festival is $6.50-$8.50, while members and children ages 3 and younger are admitted free. For more information, call 538-6822, or visit gcv.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

THEATER | “Timon of Athens”

Shakespeare enthusiasts — and people who just want to experience the Bard’s work — should make sure to not miss out on the Rochester Community Players’ performance of “Timon of Athens.” From Friday, March 16, through March 31, RCP’s Shakespeare Players shingle will stage the oft-ignored tragic tale.

Director James Landers adapts the story of a man who is generous to a fault. Timon loves to give to his friends in excess. When the money runs out, the protagonist finds himself in debt, and his “friends” abandon him as he retreats to the wilderness and becomes a misanthrope. As time takes a toll on the wanderer, Timon discovers that Lady Luck isn’t quite as gracious as he once was.

Shows this week run at the Multi-Use Community Cultural Center (MuCCC, 142 Atlantic Ave.) Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $5-$15.

Bad times in Barsoom [ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA

“John Carter” (PG-13), directed by Andrew Stanton Now playing

The cinema owes a great debt to Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose jungle adventure novels provided the foundation for more than three dozen movies (so far) featuring the exploits of that truly noble savage, Lord Greystoke, aka Tarzan the Ape Man, particular favorites of my youth. He also wrote other stories of improbable adventure, including a science-fiction series about John Carter, an American who becomes a great hero on Mars. Now the new blockbuster, simply

(and inadequately) titled “John Carter,” based on Burroughs’s “The Princess of Mars,” introduces audiences to other facets of the master’s work.

The picture exhibits the rich muddle of early pulp fiction, mingling elements of Victorian melodrama, numerous contradictory anachronisms, pure fantasy, and the sort of retro sci-fi known among contemporary fans as steam punk (as opposed, say, to the currently popular cyberpunk). It features material from sword-andsandal flicks, aliens and monsters right out of the “Star Wars” series, a familiar fairy tale subplot, some classical references, and mystical mumbojumbo that now and then resembles the “Matrix” pictures. With stuff like that, it’s guaranteed to entertain a good many viewers eager for the summer season of spectaculars.

Moving back and forth through flashbacks, the picture shows Edgar Rice Burroughs (Daryl Sabora) himself, reading the journal of his uncle John Carter, played by the appropriately named Taylor Kitsch, relating his great adventure on Mars. Carter, a Confederate veteran

prospecting in Arizona, discovers a cave full of gold and a glowing medallion, which magically transports him to Mars, a place very like the Arizona he left. He discovers that the diminished gravity of the planet allows him to leap to great heights and perform numerous acrobatic maneuvers, handy attributes in the battles he fights.

He finds himself engaged in several plots revolving around the thousand-year war between two great Martian cities, Helium and Zodanga, the Athens and Sparta of the planet its inhabitants call Barsoom, a story sketched out in a voiceover narration. One of them involves Princess Dejah of Helium (Lynn Collins), forcibly betrothed to the cruel leader of Zodanga, Sab Than (Dominic West), in order to save her city from destruction. After numerous hesitations and a series of captures and imprisonments, Carter naturally agrees to assist the beautiful princess in the defense of Helium and the defeat of Sab Than.

Beyond that fairytale plot, a whole other set of circumstances demands John Carter’s attention. The first actual Martians John Carter encounters, the Tharks, differ drastically from the quite human inhabitants of Barsoom. The Tharks look like the sort of aliens the pulps traditionally favored and that we rightfully expect — tall, green, noseless, and multi-armed like a Hindu deity, they incarcerate Carter before they realize that his superior strength and agility can aid them against their enemies, other Thark tribes.

Who needs enemies? [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“Friends with Kids” (R), written and directed by Jennifer Westfeldt Now playing

“Kill List” (NR), directed by Ben Wheatley Screens Friday and Sunday at the Dryden

ultimately enlists them on the side of Princess Dejah in a climactic battle against Sab Tham.

Although the movie falls short of the array of monsters in such lavish sci-fi epics as “Star Wars,” it provides a few memorable beasts, like the huge eight-legged creatures the Tharks ride into battle, a weird cross between an elephant and perhaps a worm, and another that Carter saves that becomes his faithful, almost canine companion. In one of his several imprisonments, he also fights like a gladiator in a Roman arena against two giant white apes that a bad Thark employs to kill him.

“John Carter” displays a really amazing and even wonderful mixture of contradictory and incomprehensible anachronisms. The inhabitants of Helium and Zodanga dress in the sort of abbreviated Greco-Roman outfits usually associated with Cecil B. DeMille classical orgy flicks. They wield swords and spears, now and then shooting some strange firearms; despite their weapons and attire, they also fly around in some really stunning aircraft that sprout wings and hover and glide like mechanical dragonflies.

As usual, the filmmakers barely exploit the 3D techniques that now seem mandatory for cinema spectaculars. The special effects, the stunts, the aliens, the monsters, the battles all work perfectly well, but the script runs on and on, repeating itself endlessly, and when the action wavers, cramming in another plot and more characters. Barsoom, Helium, and Zodanga, after all, should be quite enough.

Last summer the smug “Friends With Benefits” asked whether two attractive, compatible people could just enjoy physical intimacy without all that romantic baggage. The answer, you may recall, was apparently not, as the film abandoned its quasi-evolved thinking in exchange for a mad, crowd-pleasing dash to the happily-ever-after. Jennifer Westfeldt’s new comedy “Friends With Kids” also posits an alternative situation, one where two attractive, compatible people decide to have a child without all that romantic baggage. In this day and age, it seems only fitting that a storyteller would wonder what possibilities might exist beyond the traditional family unit. But the bland, bourgeois “Friends With Kids” is unfortunately not that film, instead opting to abandon its quasi-evolved thinking in exchange for a mad, crowd-pleasing dash to the happily-ever-after.

Chris O’Dowd, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and Jon Hamm in “Friends With Kids.”

PHOTO COURTESY LIONSGATE

Oh, calm down; I didn’t spoil anything. If Westfeldt hadn’t written the unsurprising script, you could easily have done it for her. Westfeldt also stars as Julie, part of a devil-may-care sextet of 30something New Yorkers who, flashing forward four years, are largely buried under the demands of children. Julie and Jason (Adam Scott, NBC’s “Parks and Recreation”) are the sole singletons of the group, and after observing their miserable friends, the longtime pals decide to have a baby but remove the complicated stress of romance from the equation. Westfeldt makes sure we know that Julie’s biological clock is tick-tocking, but why a shallow ladies’ man like Jason would choose to tether himself to a child is a mystery for the ages.

Their joint collaboration goes well at first, with Julie and Jason taking turns in the dating pool (her with the twinkly Edward Burns, him with a decent Megan Fox) when they’re not exhausted from all the self-congratulation in praise of their forward thinking. The wheels, of course, fall off as reality sets in, only to have everything set romantically right at the appointed time. Now, it was easy to believe Julie and Jason as platonic besties because Westfeldt and Scott had no chemistry at all, so when Jason finally cops to both love and lust for Julie, we sigh with disappointment and hold out hope for a film that will explore complicated modern truths instead of using conventional family values as a means of rom-com escapism.

The blame for this misfire lies with Westfeldt; her directing is serviceable, but her flavorless acting consists mostly of a pained look atop a series of really cute boots, and her sitcommy screenplay is completely without nuance. She paints her characters in the broadest of strokes, from the knuckle-dragging husbands to the screechy wives. And, most horrifyingly, she wastes half of the

“Bridesmaids” cast; Kristen Wiig and Jon Hamm play a formerly scorching couple reduced to boozy resentment, while Maya Rudolph and the charming Chris O’Dowd play bickering marrieds.

During the ski-cabin dinner interlude, it’s Hamm’s intense performance, delivering a bitter, achingly honest speech about marriage and family, that ultimately exposes “Friends With Kids” for the cowardly, redundant fluff that it is.

The opening scenes of the imperfect but

intriguing “Kill List” seem like we’re in for a fairly typical British kitchen-sink drama, featuring an unhappy couple warring over topics like the grocery spending and the husband’s unemployment, an argument punctuated when Jay (Neil Maskell) upends the table during an uncomfortable dinner party. But then filmmaker Ben Wheatley throws us a curve. It’s not that Jay’s on the dole; it’s just been eight months since Jay’s last job... as a hit man.

“Kill List” follows as Jay, along with his business partner Gal (Michael Smiley, the Irish techie from the BBC’s excellently trashy “Luther”), gets entangled in a complex new assignment.

And when Jay’s latest client seals the deal with a blood pact, Wheatley switches it up yet again, as “Kill List” veers off into weird occult territory with welcome echoes of “Angel Heart” and “Eyes Wide Shut.” The script, by Wheatley and Amy Jump, asks more questions than it answers; challenging on occasion, at other times feeling like an artsy cop-out. But the behind-the-camera work is better than it needs to be, with pulsing sound design and handheld, verité cinematography that allows the dread to percolate. Be warned, though: the Yorkshire accents are thick and so is the gore, with “Kill List” earning comparison to “Drive” for its operatic bursts of stunningly graphic violence.

KILL LIST

Friday, March 16, 8 p.m.; Sunday, March 18, 5 p.m.

A pair of desperate working-class hitmen take a job from a mysterious client, sending them on a bleak journey that becomes increasingly (and literally) hellish. A cunning mixture of three very British genres — kitchen-sink melodrama, gangster flick, and occult horror — Kill List is a smart, critically acclaimed thriller that also functions as an unsettling allegory for the state of contemporary England. (Ben Wheatley, UK 2011, 92 min.)

PICKPOCKET Movies for movie lovers, 6 nights a week.

New Release

Tuesday, March 20, 8 p.m.

Both an exploration of criminality and a plea for redemption, Pickpocket follows the young Michel as he’s initiated into the Parisian underworld of petty theft. As Michel’s acts grow more brazen, Jeanne, the neighbor of his mother, looms in the background as an angel in the flesh. No crime movie more fascinated by the immediate and technical details of stealing and less concerned with its rewards. (Robert Bresson, France 1959, 75 min., French w/subtitles.)

[ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD The royal family of Qatar, apparently striving for art-world credibility, purchased a Paul Cezanne painting (“The Card Players”) last year for the equivalent of about $250 million, which is twice as much as the previous mostexpensive painting sold for. (Qatar is vying with the United Arab Emirates to become the Middle East’s major intellectual hub.) At the same time that Qatar’s purchase was made public in February, artwork of the probable value of about $200 million became news in reports of the imminent Facebook initial public offering. Graffiti artist (“muralist”) David Choe stood to make about that amount because he took stock instead of money to paint the lewd themes on the walls of Facebook’s first offices. Even though Choe was quoted as saying, originally, that he found the whole idea of Facebook “ridiculous and pointless,” his shares today are reportedly worth up to one quarter of 1 percent of the company.

The Entrepreneurial Spirit — Last year, the Cape Town, South Africa, “gentlemen’s club” Mavericks began selling an Alibi line of fragrances designed for men who need excuses for coming home late. For example, as men come through the door, they could splash on “I Was Working Late” (to reek of coffee and cigarettes) or “My Car Broke Down” (evoking fuel, burned rubber and grease).

— Bipartisanship: White supremacist Richard Treis, 38, was arrested in February in St. Louis, along with his alleged partner, black gang member Robert “Biz” Swinney, 22, and charged with running a huge methamphetamine operation. The two, who had met at a prison halfway house, had allegedly meshed their unique talents -- Treis as a meth cook and Swinney as a skilled street seller who recruited

people to buy restricted pseudoephedrine products from pharmacies. Said a deputy, “They put away their differences to get the job done.”

Science on the Cutting Edge — Can’t Possibly Be True: “(A) growing number of scientists” are at work on biocomputer models based on movements of slime to solve complex-systems problems, according to a December report in London’s Daily Telegraph. Though slime molds are single-cell organisms lacking a “brain,” said professor Toshiyuki Nakagaki of Japan’s Future University Hakodate, they somehow can “organize” themselves to create the most direct route through mazes in order to find food. Said professor Atsushi Tero, of Kyushu University, ordinary computers are “not so good” at finding such ideal routes because of the quantity of calculations required, but slime molds seem to flow “in an impromptu manner” and gradually find the best routes.

— Medical Marvels: (1) Claire Osborn, 37, of Coventry, England, was diagnosed in October with an aggressive, inoperable throat-mouth cancer and given a 50 percent chance of survival. However, less than a month later, during a severe coughing spell, she actually coughed out the entire tumor in two pieces. Subsequent tests revealed no trace of cancer in her body. (Doctors hypothesized that, fortuitously, the tumor was growing on a weak stalk that was overcome by the force of the cough.) (2) In January, doctors at North Carolina State University performed knee-replacement surgery on a cancer-stricken house cat. Such surgery on dogs has been done, but because of cats’ smaller bones and joints, doctors had to use micro techniques usually employed on humans.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 31 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t let stubbornness or jealousy stand in the way of true love. Size up your situation, and be blunt but genuine regarding your feelings and your intentions.

Mixing business with pleasure will bring excellent results as long as you aren’t impulsive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Step up and step out, set ground rules and make your move. Socializing will lead to love and romance.

Take part in events, activities and entertainment you enjoy, and you will discover someone that is the perfect fit for you emotionally, mentally and physically.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your versatility and desire to try new things will make you a good candidate for a partner looking for adventure. Attending and participating in an event that attracts thrill-seekers will lead to an interesting encounter with someone looking for the same things as you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The more original you are, the more attention you’ll get. Do your best to entertain whomever you feel akin to, and you will find a way into this person’s heart. Consistency will count for something, so make sure to mean what you

say. Reneging will leave a bad impression.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Engage in activities that promise to bring you the excitement and adventure you are looking for. It’s the partner who can keep up with you who will end up winning your heart. Spontaneity coupled with a challenge will raise your romantic interest.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll have trouble deciding with whom you want to spend more time. Romantic opportunities are prevalent, but you must be sure you end up with the person best suited to you and your lifestyle if you are looking for a long-term relationship.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t give in to someone trying to push his or her will on you. Equality is a must in a relationship if you want it to go the distance.

Communication will help decide if you are on the same page as someone you find attractive.

Don’t sell yourself short.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Look for someone who can contribute to the challenges you want to take on. An original approach to the way you do things will attract someone with a uniqueness that fits into your plans. A passionate approach will lead to romantic success.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Going out and having fun will attract partners who want to tag along for the ride. Before making a commitment to someone make sure you mean what you say. It’s not nearly as easy to break up as it is to hook up, should you change your mind.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ve got all the right moves, passion and finesse to capture the heart of someone special.

Your stable and practical nature will make a lasting impression and attract someone who wants the same things out of life as you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Look at the pros and cons of a serious relationship to determine if you are ready to move toward commitment before you become too chummy with someone interested in you. It’s better to develop the friendship first and see where that leads.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may want to backtrack when it comes to love. Let past experience keep you from making a mistake that will stand in the way of your happiness. If there is someone you can’t let go of, tell this person how you feel and what you want.

A Strawberry Brick Tudor 2200 St. Paul Street As the city expanded north in the early 20th century, a number of elaborately crafted Tudor Revival style houses were built on both sides of the river. Constructed in 1930, the one at 2200 St. Paul St. has the typical Tudor’s steeply gabled front, half-timbering, numerous bay windows and exuberantly patterned brickwork.

This 2919 square foot house on its 1/3 acre plot has lavish details—leaded glass windows and doors and hardwood floors throughout, lovely gumwood trim and an elaborate façade. All are the work of true craftsmen.

Unusually, both entrances are on the same side. The main door features a small open porch and leaded glass. It leads to the living room, which stretches across the whole front of the house, from a bright curved bay sitting area at one end, to the fireplace at the opposite end, with its brickwork patterned like the façade. The room is brightened by a second bay window and an archway leads to the large dining room, which also features a bay window. The large kitchen has a walk-in pantry at one end, and a bay windowed eating area at the other. The flow of rooms is perfect for entertaining.

Upstairs there are more hardwoods and leaded glass. The four bedrooms have plenty of closet space. The largest has a twin of the front bay window and an original wall safe. The house also has two full baths and a powder room. The attic is huge and bright,

and heated with a pellet stove. It is presently used as recreation space.

The second outside door leads to the basement, refinished in the 1960s as a dentist’s office. It would make a fine office for an in-home business or the partitions could be removed to adapt the space to a new use.

There is another beautiful original fireplace that could be the centerpiece of a new family room.

There is ample parking in the driveway and around the original two-car garage, which was designed to match the house. The backyard is fenced and private, simply and handsomely landscaped.

Priced at $145,000, this property faces Seneca Park, with its nature trails and zoo, and is convenient to the expressway, Ridge Road shopping, and Irondequoit. St. Paul Street runs from downtown to the lake, affording access to urban and lakeside activities.

There will be an open house this Sunday, March 18 from 1-3 p.m. Don’t miss the opportunity to see this spectacular house. For further information, call Melba Monaco of Nothnagle Realtors at 585-230-4110.
