Rebirth of a cultural landmark The remnants of show posters and handbills still cling to the brick walls of the old Pratt Opera House (pictured) in downtown Albion, decades after the venue saw its last performance. The displays were pasted on the walls usually by stagehands working the shows that came through. Some of the Opera House’s details have survived years of neglect: the gas lighting manifold backstage, the wood stage, the reclaimed doors, the cast iron steps leading up to the theater’s old entrance, and the original ticket booth that still stands just inside.
The Opera House, which operated from 1890 to 1931, is owned by married couple Michael Bonafede and Judy Koehler. Ultimately, Bonafede and Koehler say they want to get the theater to the point where it can hold performances again. Albion was a canal-era boomtown, and that’s reflected in its buildings. The Opera House restoration project is about capitalizing on a piece of history — in a village that’s loaded with it — to develop and revitalize the community’s core.

The shoe’s on the other foot
Am I missing something here? Would we be having all this fuss and bother about contraception in Congress if it were a man seeking birth control? That this man would want his faith-sponsored university to supply condoms at their health clinic? Would anyone be calling him a ‘slut’ or a ‘whore’? Or would someone say that HE is a responsible adult because HE should not be bringing babies into this world that he is not emotionally or financially able to support? LINDA PRATT, PENFIELD

Unstated in Mary Anna Towler’s column is that even though under Obama’s plan, religious institutions may not have to pay for contraceptives, they would pay indirectly through the health plans they pay for and provide (“Religion, Limbaugh, and America’s Misogyny,” Urban Journal, March 7). Ms. Towler writes: “The majority of Americans disagree with the church’s policy on contraception.” Then they should leave the church. It matters not one iota that most disagree with church doctrine. Church doctrine is church doctrine. Ms. Towler wants us to pay for others’ permissive lifestyle. Well, what if I wanted the federal government (taxpayers) to pay for handguns for qualified individuals? SAM PALERMO, ROCHESTER
A caricature of feminism
“In the Catholic Church,” Ms. Towler confidently declares (primarily regarding birth control), “times will change” (Urban Journal, March 7). Why? Because she has difficulty with the Church’s teaching on this point? Because I do? Because our secular culture does? Until 1930, no Protestant denomination accepted contraception as morally licit. That year’s Lambeth Conference, however, overturned previous pronouncements — not to mention the unanimous teaching of the Protestant “reformers” some 500 years earlier — to allow spouses to contracept in rare
circumstances. (Other opponents of birth control include Mahatma Gandhi and Sigmund Freud). The Catholic Church and its unbroken teaching of two millennia then stood alone in Christendom. In the turbulent summer of 1968, following a five-year study period that included intense pressure not only from the world at large but also from those within his own Church, Pope Paul VI issued his Encyclical Letter Humanae Vitae (“Of Human Life”). In 31 succinct paragraphs, the Holy Father clearly lays out doctrinal principles, demonstrates his understanding of the practical issues facing couples, then addresses the “inseparable connection” of union and procreation: “willed by God and unable to be broken by man on his own initiative.” The Encyclical examines contraception morally and philosophically, but also from medical and scientific perspectives. Presciently, the Pope predicted that if love were artificially separated from life, the consequences would include family dissolution, “the general lowering of morality,” and men viewing women “as a mere instrument of selfish enjoyment.” That was 1968. Does any of this sound familiar? I don’t doubt the sincerity of Ms. Towler’s concern for women, but one wonders if she knows what decade it is. Feminism used to be about true empowerment of women: things like the right to vote, strengthening the family, and “equal pay for equal work.” Now it’s apparently about government forcing Catholic universities to pay for their students’ birth control. How sad. Pope Benedict recently said that: “sexuality [is] a source of genuine freedom, happiness and the fulfillment of our fundamental and innate human vocation to love…. Young people need to encounter the Church’s teaching in its integrity, challenging and countercultural as that teaching may be…. They also need to be supported as they struggle to make wise choices at a difficult and confusing time in their lives… truly caring for [children] means recognizing our responsibility to teach, defend and live the moral virtues which are the key to human fulfillment. [I] hope that the [American] Church, however chastened by the events of the past decade, will persevere in… educating the young and thus contribute to the… sound family life which is the surest guarantee of… the health of society as a whole.” No one is taking away anyone’s contraception, Ms. Towler, though the current administration has shown a breathtaking disregard for the First Amendment, if not outright anti-Catholicism. Beyond that,
the issue is whether we will succumb to a stunted, shallow caricature of “feminism” that only objectifies women, or whether we can aspire to the richness of authentic womanhood and humanity. JOHN REFERMAT, ROCHESTER
The dollars at Excellus
Excellus profits soar. And according to the web site with their 10-K report, the CEO got $5.2 million but two VP’s got $1.2 and $1.6 million. The site also reported that they raised premiums 12 percent. Sixty-six regional presidents and VP’s got between $200,000 and $600,000. In total, Excellus spent 11 percent of revenues on administration. Another 3 percent (this is the $223 million which goes to “reserves”) went to “profits‚” or “operating margin‚” as non-profits say. That means 14 cents of every dollar collected did not go to health care. This is terrible when compared to Medicare, which spends 1.5 to 3 percent of revenues on administration. The claim that business is more efficient than government is false. And this is a comparison with a non-profit. The private, for-profit insurance is worse. We need Medicare for all. It would save billions. BILL MCCOY, ROCHESTER

When we become savages In two small villages in Afghanistan’s Kandahar province last week, tragedy struck the families of 16 people, most of them women and children. You know the story. A 38-year-old soldier who had served three tours of duty in Iraq before being sent to Afghanistan, is believed to have gone on a pre-dawn rampage, walking from his Army base to the villages, entering villagers’ homes, and opening fire. No combat was taking place, and he was apparently alone, methodically, senselessly killing innocent civilians, then covering some of them with blankets and setting them on fire. After that, the soldier — himself the father of two children — turned himself in at his base. President Obama has expressed shock and sorrow and promised a full inquiry and swift justice. While we’re at it, maybe we’ll have a full inquiry into the effects of war on those we send out to kill on our behalf. We’re a long way from knowing what led to this tragedy, but clearly something went very, very wrong in this young soldier’s mind. We are not born with a lust to kill. Senseless violence by a member of our armed forces is not unknown to us, unfortunately. It’s not unknown, either, to Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State, this particular soldier’s home base. “It has been just four months since a military jury on this military base convicted the ringleader of a rogue Army unit that shot Afghans for sport,” the New York Times reported. “In 2011, at least 12 soldiers here committed suicide.” The base has had a high incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder and a high incidence of domestic violence. Investigations may find that the base itself bears some responsibility, that there’s something about the culture on the base that encourages violence, or that the base isn’t properly helping soldiers deal with stress. But the bigger issue is the stress of war, particularly the stress of multiple tours of duty. A 2008 Army surgeon general’s study, the Seattle Times noted last week, “found that more than 25 percent of soldiers who completed three or four tours of duty in Iraq showed signs of mental-health problems such as PTSD, compared to 11 percent after a first deployment.” “Other studies,” said the Seattle Times, “have shown similar findings.” This shouldn’t be a surprise. Soldiers on the battlefield are not only repeatedly
Maybe we’ll have a full inquiry into the effects of war on those we send out to kill on our behalf.” under the threat of injury and death, but many of them witness friends being killed or maimed. The very sounds and sights of war take a toll. And then there’s the preparation for the battlefield. Human beings may not be born killers, but they must be willing to kill when they’re in battle. Instincts, empathy, human nature must be overcome. And the military has learned how to train people in ways that overcome them. At some point, then, do we become something other than what we were? “Being repeatedly in a war zone,” a California psychiatrist who studies PTSD patients told the Seattle Times, “you can have more and more dehumanization, where it’s us against them.” We are in a war that we shouldn’t be in — suffering as well as causing death and pain and trauma. Tragically, in this election year, politics may influence the direction and the length of our involvement in this war. And the damage, collateral and otherwise, will go on. “Right now,” NPR’s Tom Bowman reported a few mornings after the Kandahar tragedies, “there is growing anger at the United States. The Afghan Parliament issued a statement saying the Afghan people had run out of patience with foreign soldiers. And the Taliban issued their own statement that said the killings were caused by ‘sick-minded American savages’ and vowed revenge.” Sick-minded American savages. And Afghan President Harmid Karzai called the killings “acts of terror.” Our strategy in Afghanistan, we are told, is to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people. It’s becoming increasingly hard to do that. And for our soldiers, the price is becoming increasingly high.

Mayor Tom Richards’ plan to give College town developers a $20 million loan is causing some controversy. Pictured here is a stretch of Mount Hope, where the College town project will be built. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK FINANCES | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Richards defends College Town loan The College Town project will put tax-exempt land back on the tax rolls, revitalize an important gateway into the city, and create between 500 and 600 permanent jobs, says Mayor Tom Richards. And that’s why College Town developers deserve a $20 million loan, he says. “They’re 500 to 600 jobs that people in the general population can get,” Richards says. “We’re not hiring a Ph.D. in physics.” College Town is a construction project on 16 acres along Mt. Hope Avenue, between Crittenden Boulevard and Elmwood Avenue. Plans include restaurants, retail including a bookstore, office space, residential, hotel and
conference center, and a transit center. A YMCA is also a possibility. The idea for College Town originated with the University of Rochester, which owns the 16 acres. The U of R Medical Center and Strong Memorial Hospital are adjacent to the project area, and College Town would clearly benefit the university’s students. Some City Council members question why any loan is needed, given the U of R’s resources. But it’s clear that the jobs payoff is a big motivation for Richards. “You’d have a hard time pointing to other projects that will generate that kind of impact,” he says.
“From that point of view, it’s a very positive issue.” If City Council approves the legislation, the city will borrow the money from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. The city would repay the loan through money it receives from a tax agreement with College Town’s developers. Though the money would not come from the city, the city would be responsible — to what degree is not clear — if the federal money isn’t repaid, Richards says. City Council is expected to vote on the loan at its April meeting.
A coalition of about a dozen Upstate-area education activist groups are working with lawmakers to get the amended parent-trigger bill passed this year. “There are lots of policies that are supposed to empower parents.

Groups push parent trigger law
Super search moving swiftly
It’s a lot harder for school boards, superintendents, administrators, and teachers to ignore parents who have the legal muscle to significantly change a district’s policies and personnel. That’s the premise of “parent trigger” laws. New York has joined a dozen other states considering trigger legislation. A bill created last year for Buffalo’s school system is being amended to include the Rochester school district, says Hannya Boulos, director of the education activist group Buffalo ReformED. The bill is sponsored in the Senate by Mark Grisanti and in the Assembly by Crystal Peoples-Stokes. A coalition of about a dozen Upstate-area education activist groups are working with lawmakers to get the amended bill passed this year. “There are lots of policies that are supposed to empower parents,” says Carrie Remis, director of the Parent Power Project, a Rochester education advocacy group. “But at the end of the day, they don’t have any real legal power.” Remis compares the law to a collectivebargaining tool that makes schools accountable to parents. The bill would allow 51 percent of parents at any Rochester or Buffalo school that the state has identified as persistently in need of improvement
to sign a petition that triggers dramatic changes. For instance, parents would have the ability to convert a lowachieving school to a charter school, or they could push to remove staff. Carrie Remis. Parents would PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK identify an approach to improve the school, and would have latitude for implementing the changes. Creating an effective dropout prevention program is one of the concerns of Rochester’s parents, Remis says. The bill provides rules for creating the petition and collecting signatures. Parents can sign the petition once for each child attending the school. The petition would be submitted to the school district, and the district would have to implement the parents’ strategy for improving the school. If district officials reject the petition, they’d have to say why, and explain what improvement strategy would be implemented instead. And the district would have to notify the commissioner of education of its decision. Trigger laws have passed in California, Texas, and Connecticut.

The committee received more than 100 inquiries, and more than 30 people applied for the job, says board President Malik Evans. | There are applicants from the Rochester region and beyond, he says. | The search committee will narrow the candidates down to a small group of finalists for the board to interview next month. Evans says the board will then hold a series of public forums so the community can meet the top three finalists. | Names of the applicants have not been released, but Interim Superintendent Bolgen Vargas has publicly expressed interest in the permanent position. | The search process has moved swiftly, but not without controversy. The search committee held multiple public meetings and formed focus groups to gather input from parents, students, teachers, and community groups.

POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE
Congressional clash of the titans: Brooks vs. Slaughter The congressional race between Republican County Executive Maggie Brooks and incumbent Democratic Representative Louise Slaughter will be hard-fought and expensive. It’s also going to be red meat for political junkies: two of the county’s most prominent politicians, both with large groups of loyal supporters and plenty of clout, going head to head in a newly redrawn district centered on Monroe County. Brooks announced her run on Monday to an overflow crowd at Monroe County Republican headquarters. At times, her speech sounded a lot like the talking points from her 2011 campaign for county executive: she talked about collaboration and keeping taxes down. In doing so, Brooks offered clues to her congressional platform. She said the federal government is spending beyond its means, that it’s borrowing too much, and that it’s regulating too much. “Our country can learn a lot from our county,” Brooks said. Less than an hour after Brooks’ announcement, Slaughter’s campaign issued a press release listing some of the Congress member’s accomplishments and key issues. It mentioned Slaughter’s role as co-author of the Violence Against Women Act, her efforts on food safety, and her advocacy on certain trade policies. Also within an hour of the announcement, the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee sent out an e-mail jabbing at Brooks. “Monroe County voters already know that Brooks’ tenure as county executive has been filled with scandals, but little is known about Brooks’ positions on the federal issues that are critical to work in the House of Representatives,” it said. Campaign tit for tat aside, the race pits two seasoned politicians against each other. Brooks and Slaughter have name recognition and both typically win their races by substantial margins. But the redrawn district — it’s been designated the 25th Congressional District — is a fairly level field. Democrats have the majority enrollment, but not by much. And the county’s Republican voters generally have higher turnout rates, though the dynamic could be different this year because a Democratic president is up for re-election. Those factors should add up to an intense contest. And the race will certainly attract national attention: something Brooks herself pointed out during Monday’s announcement. Democrats are eager to regain control of the House, while Republicans want to increase their majority. Currently, there are 242 Republicans, 191 Democrats, and two vacancies in the House. The competitive new district and the caliber of the candidates will make the race attractive to both parties. That could translate to money from the national parties
and independent expenditures from outside groups. At Monday’s press conference, Brooks said she’d have to raise at least $2 million to be competitive. Brooks’ announcement came just days after the state Republican Party held its convention in Rochester. Throughout the day a few people talked up Brooks, including Maggie Brooks and Louise Slaughter.

WOMEN’S RIGHTS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Advocate against China’s one-child policy coming to Rochester China’s one-child family policy has led to the kidnapping and trafficking of women for marriage and sex, a tremendous gender gap — one expert says there are 37 million more men than women living in China today — and an elderly population with few options in their declining years, according to the New England Journal of Medicine. “I call it China’s ‘senior tsunami,’” says Reggie Littlejohn, president of Women’s Rights Without Frontiers, a group that is concerned about forced abortion and human trafficking in China. “They don’t have a young population to support them. And they don’t have Social Security like we have in the United States.” Anecdotal evidence also exists of forced abortions and forced sterilizations in China City
march 21-27, 2012
— brutally and inhumanely performed — even though both are illegal. Littlejohn is a lawyer and has represented Chinese refugees seeking political asylum in the US. She has also testified before Congress and briefed the White House on sex-selective pregnancy terminations in China. She will be making appearances in Rochester later this month to talk about gendercide and violence against women as a result of China’s one-child policy. “Because of the traditional preference for boys, girls are selectively aborted,” she says. “That’s gendercide, and it’s driving trafficking and sexual slavery not only in China, but in several of the surrounding countries as well.”
Littlejohn’s Rochester appearances are sponsored by Feminists Choosing Life of New York. China implemented the one-child policy in 1979, convinced that strict population control would lead to economic reform and improvement in living standards, says the New England Journal. The state sets the policy and the population targets, the Journal says, while implementation and enforcement are up to local authorities. Littlejohn says these local officials have been known to grab women off the street to forcibly sterilize them or to abort their babies, even at full term. And they sometimes detain family members until a woman allows herself to be sterilized or to have an abortion, she says.
Although her visit is sponsored by an antiabortion group, Littlejohn says that activists on both sides of the issue should be speaking out about what’s happening in China. “Women’s groups who say that they care about women’s reproductive health, they should be jumping up and down about forced abortion and forced sterilization,” Littlejohn says. Reggie Littlejohn will be at the Little Theatre at 6:15 p.m. on Thursday, March 29. She will also be appearing in subsequent days on local college campuses and at a private luncheon at the Susan B. Anthony House. Her Little appearance is free and open to the public.

REBIRTH OF A
cultural landmark PRESERVATION | BY JEREMY MOULE | photos by matt deturck
The remnants of show posters and handbills still cling to the brick walls of the old Pratt Opera House in downtown Albion, decades after the venue saw its last performance. The displays were pasted on the walls usually by stagehands working the shows that came through. Some of the Opera House’s details have survived years of neglect: the gas lighting manifold backstage, the wood stage, the reclaimed doors, the cast iron steps leading up to the theater’s old entrance, and the original ticket booth that still stands just inside. The 19th century Opera House is owned by married couple Michael Bonafede and Judy Koehler. The couple is well-known in the community: Bonafede was president of the Albion school board for 13 years, and Koehler was Town of Albion supervisor for four years. The couple bought the building in 2006 with the intention of restoring the theater: a longheld goal of the village’s preservationists and history-minded leaders. Ultimately, Bonafede and Koehler say they want to get the theater to the point where it can hold performances again. They also want to start a nonprofit to take over the restoration work and, later, the operations. For now, Bonafede and Koehler are in the thick of restoration. Much of the physical work they’ve done has been to halt deterioration and for urgent structural repairs. They’ve received some grant money to further the project, including a prestigious award from the National Park Foundation. That grant will also fund a vaudeville-style show during the Olde Orleans Canal Festival on September 8.
If the restoration project is successful, it could be a boon for the village and its neighboring communities. “We’re all becoming aware of the fact that we need to capitalize on what we have,” Bonafede says. The Pratt Opera House is located inside
the Pratt Building on North Main Street in Albion’s downtown. The theater takes up a full floor, and there are other spaces that have traditionally housed stores and offices. At one point it was home to a Landauer’s department store, though today the ground-floor tenant is a coffee shop. The man responsible for the Pratt Building was John Pratt, an Albion farmer and businessman. He included the theater — it was completed around 1890, expanded in 1902, and ceased operating as a theater in 1931 — because he wanted to bring culture to his community. Upper-floor opera houses were once prevalent in rural villages, says Cynthia Howk, architectural research coordinator at the Landmark Society of Western New York. Before automobiles, it wasn’t as easy to travel into the city from a rural area — where most Americans lived. The acts would travel a circuit from village to village, since most of the communities were along rail lines. But calling them “opera houses” was a bit of a stretch, since they mostly hosted vaudeville and variety shows. “It was their way of giving sophistication to their communities by using that term,” Howk says.
Albion’s downtown — the facades of many buildings are intact originals — reflects a village that boomed between 1860 and 1910, approximately, Howk says. Many of the buildings are made of materials that were, at the time, expensive and cutting edge. The facade of the Pratt Building is made out of dyed precast concrete. Today, most people would probably consider precast concrete a plain, inexpensive building option. But in the 1880’s, it was cutting edge and its use was a display of status. Standing outside of the building, Bonafede explains how the facade windows also would have projected success and status. Back then, large windows were often made using multiple smaller panes of glass — it was a cheaper option. But the facade windows on the Pratt Building are large, single panes of glass. On a broader scale, the restoration project is
about more than fixing up an old theater. It’s about capitalizing on a piece of history — in a village that’s loaded with it — to develop and revitalize the community’s core. Across the state, several opera house theaters have been successfully restored. The Smith Opera House in Geneva, though larger and self-contained, attracts national acts and regional audiences. The Fredonia Opera
House was nearly demolished in the 1980’s and is now a venue for musical and dance performances, as well as a place to screen movies. The restored Lancaster Opera House in suburban Buffalo serves a similar purpose. These theaters are providing entertainment and culture in their communities and also attracting people downtown. It remains to be seen if Albion’s theater restoration has a similar effect. The village has suffered from some of the same problems as its larger counterparts, like Rochester. For example, Albion’s population shrank by 18 percent from the 2000 to the 2010 Censuses. In 2010, 6,056 people lived in the village, compared to 7,438 in 2000. And Albion has its own version of sprawl. Chain restaurants, drug stores, and convenience stores line the Route 31A corridor, just south of the village’s downtown core. Tops built a grocery store just outside of downtown about a decade ago. And more recently, Wal-Mart built a supercenter just west of the village. These types of development draw people away from downtowns, which have historically been the center of commerce. That has real implications for the health of a community. But
1. When shows passed through town, stagehands would paste posters and handbills to the wall. 2. The doors at the bottom of the stairs were found in storage and restored. 3. The Pratt Building’s owners turned the old understage area into a small performance room. 4. This space, in the neighboring building, used to be a tin shop. The owners may convert it into a loft or studio. 5. Before it was restored, this brass knob was coated in layers of paint. 6. The building next to the Pratt Opera House contains a Grand Army of the Republic meeting room and many of its important features are intact. City

historical and cultural projects can draw people back in, and that benefits local businesses and helps keep older buildings economically viable. When Bonafede and Koehler bought the Pratt Building, they also bought the building next door, since both properties had long ago been combined into a single parcel. Bonafede and Koehler plan to rehab that building as well, maybe adding a loft apartment. That building has historical assets of its own. Inside, an old Grand Army of the Republic meeting room remains undisturbed, though it has clearly suffered from wear and neglect over time. The Grand Army of the Republic was a fraternal organization for Civil War veterans on the Union side. Many of the organization’s old meeting rooms were located on first floors and subsequently wiped out to make room for shops, Bonafede says. The one in his building remains probably because it is on an upper floor, he says. The Pratt Opera House’s acoustics are still
good, and that’s important for Bonafede’s and Koehler’s vision. The owners plan to create an intimate performance space, outfitted with audio and video equipment so performers can record there. It would provide a more relaxed atmosphere than studios in bigger cities, say Bonafede and Koehler. That’s not as far-fetched as it may sound. A group in Portageville — which is near Letchworth Park — converted an old church into a successful pipe-organ retreat, says the Landmark Society’s Howk. Pipe organists rent the place a week at a time and mix organ practice with hikes and other recreational activities. In neighboring Medina, the nonprofit Orleans Renaissance Group is also working
7
on a theater restoration project. With the Medina project and with some of the notable attractions nearby, Bonafede sees potential for a tourism circuit. The popular Michael Bonafede. Medina Train Museum already conducts rides between Medina and nearby Lockport. Medina and Albion are linked by railroad tracks, and Bonafede says he wonders if there is potential for excursions from the museum to the Opera House. And Albion visitors could easily get to neighboring communities, thanks to the village’s location on several state routes. For now, however, the owners are focused on more practical matters. There’s the structural and restoration work, as well as preparations for the canal festival vaudeville show. They’re also working to build support for the restoration project in Albion and beyond. Bonafede and Koehler say they know they’ve got their work cut out for them. But someone had to start somewhere, they say, in order to preserve a piece of village history. “If you don’t make an effort and begin, it will just become rubble,” Bonafede says.

Italian steakhouses in general have a very hard balance to strike: not family red-sauce joints, and not extremely high-end “French” restaurants, they occupy a niche where white tablecloths and bright silverware often coexist with powdered Parmesan cheese and dolled-up versions of classic dishes like veal parmigiana or chicken French. The prices and the aspirations tend to be more haute than your typical Italian restaurant (the average entrée runs somewhere between $20 and $25), justified by the tasteful ambiance of the room more than anything else. Tucked away on Water Street, Richard Alloco and Joanne Merzacco Sansone’s Pane Vino is no exception to this general rule. The restaurant is lovely. Frosted glass doors open onto a gleaming dark-wood bar with a fireplace and a couple of deep, comfylooking leather chairs at the far end. The dining room itself, with its antiqued faux-
plaster walls, abundant cherry-wood trim, and gleaming white tablecloths, could have served as the set for Artie Bucco’s restaurant on “The Sopranos.” Such a pleasant spot for dinner (or lunch, for that matter) ought to have good food as well, and Pane Vino does. Chefs Jon McCall and Darrell Madison turn out a solid menu of Italian classics, fresh pasta, chops, and seafood at dinner, and paninis, salads, an abbreviated pasta and entrée menu, and pizzas at lunchtime. All of it is flavorful and based on excellent technique. Start with a plate of the spicy Sicilian calamari (known as fritto misto elsewhere, $11). The calamari is tender and lightly breaded, the strips of roasted red pepper and the bright-green pepperoncini have a pretty char to them, and the asiago grated over the dish gives it welcome creamy and salty accents. It’s very pleasant with a glass of Zinfandel, and the nearby basket of bread can be put to good use mopping the plate when the calamari is gone. Chicken marsala ($20) was similarly pleasing, the chicken cutlets pounded nearly paper thin and fork tender, dressed with crimini mushrooms and a fragrant marsala sauce that just begged to be used as gravy for the creamy garlic smashed potatoes that come with the dish.
If your stomach — and your wallet — are on the larger side, you might want to consider the “carne” side of the menu, selecting from strip or filet steaks, lamb chops, center-cut pork chops, or veal. This last, offered as a veal chop at “market price” ($48 on the evening that I dined at Pane Vino) is both gigantic and superb. Opting for simplicity over sauce, I chose to have my chop served Milanesestyle. That is, lightly breaded, fried and served with lemon wedges to drizzle tart juice over the meat. The chop that came out of the kitchen was enormous, easily the size of a catcher’s mitt and about the same appealing color with a huge bone jutting out of it. For once, the Cro Magnon-sized steak knife that our waitress delivered with the dish actually seemed appropriate. The meat was tender and juicy, the breading crisp without being overwhelming, the mixed greens on the side were a nice touch, almost (but not quite) making it seem like a diet plate. Unfortunately, the service at Pane Vino does
our waitress comported herself as if she was working at Olive Garden rather than a highend restaurant. My appetizer plate remained uncleared until she delivered my entrée (and then I had to move it out of the way myself ). The silverware was not replaced (or at least removed) between courses. At one point in my meal she stopped by the table and asked if I was “still working on that” in relation to my $48 veal chop. At a less-expensive restaurant — or perhaps one with red-checkered tablecloths — this would all seem charming. Here it was jarring. Worse, perhaps, was her almost mercenary approach to the menu. I will often give servers the option of two entrees, both of which sound good, but one of which is unquestionably more expensive and ask for suggestions. Savvy servers know that this is an opportunity to build trust with a customer: a bit of a downsell here can mean a much larger check later when you suggest a dessert or a particularly good wine. Given the choice between the French cut pork chops in balsamic glaze ($27) or the veal chop, she went straight for the veal chop, reasoning that “you can’t make that at home.” When was the last time that you stripped the bone on a pork chop at home, or made a balsamic glaze from scratch? Poor service stretched into lunch as well. I craved the spaghetti carbonara, but I felt a little guilty about having such a luscious carb and fat bomb without some veggies to balance things out. My companion’s delectable chicken-parm panini ($10) came with a salad, so I asked if the pasta did, too. It did not. Another quick glance at the menu, and I ordered an iceberg wedge with blue cheese dressing ($6) as well as the carbonara. Our waitress repeated my order back to me. Almost a half hour later, she emerged from the kitchen with the panini and the salad. My pasta was never mentioned again, and I didn’t even have the chance to ask about it: she didn’t check on us until I flagged her down to get the bill (fortunately, the pasta did not appear on the check). Maybe it was a fluke, but if that’s the case, then the service at my dinner visit to Pane Vino several days before was an aberration as well. Either way, the poor service at this downtown Italian steakhouse so overshadowed both of my visits there that I almost didn’t notice how good the food was — and that’s a pity, because it was pretty darn good.
not measure up to either the atmosphere or the food. Perhaps I’ve become too picky over time, but when entrees run from the mid-$20s on up to more than $40, the quality of the service should reflect that. Throughout our first meal at Pane Vino,

Popcorn lawnmower [ review ] by frank de blase
Amy LaVere couldn’t have been cuter,
sweeter, or more menacing on the bass during her show at Abilene on Tuesday, March 13. This Memphis mamacita is all “please” and “thank you” until it comes to the doghouse. LaVere — who just finished a tour with Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes — keeps her pimp hand strong as she pops and slaps and strolls the bottom end. I’m not saying she’s aggressive, but getting between her and her bass (actually the instrument belonged to Brian Williams of The Goners; seems LaVere busted the neck off hers in Buffalo the night before) would be akin to getting between a mama grizzly and her cubs. LaVere’s set took on a dreamy Memphis patina with her guitar player’s pastel chops and fills ricocheting off of Abilene’s steamy walls. It was pure seduction. I’m all hers… I was back at Abilene again on Friday. New Paltz ska-rocksteady darlings The Big Takeover rocked the joint, I’m telling you. What a fantastic groove, what fantastic brass (just tenor sax and trombone, and occasionally flute — you heard me). And singer Nee Nee Rushie has vocal chords twice her abbreviated size. The crowd was
a gigantic grin personified as it pogo’d and bopped up and down, resembling the insides of one of those Fisher-Price popcornlawnmower push toys. The tempo was accelerated in spots but never lost control or its cool. The music just made me so happy. Excuse me while I kiss the ska. According to my calculations, I hadn’t seen The Casualties since the band played Steel Music Hall some seven-odd years ago. I remember the chaos and the mayhem, but I don’t remember it sounding as fantastic as it did this time around. Saturday night all the punks piled into Montage Music Hall to hear the band blast it old school, including Motorhead’s homage to the Queens fab four along with a batch of seething tunes everyone in attendance knew front to back. The crowd was an enthusiastic sing-along chorus of pumping fists and kinetic collision. Portland, Oregon’s Toxic Holocaust played just before and knocked me out with a mix of street punk and speed metal. The trio reminded me a bit of Zeke, but with more metal. This was one of the tightest bands I’ve ever seen. It was real gone.

“If you didn’t know who had composed these pieces, I don’t think there’s any way you’d be able to tell she was female.” So says Christopher Haritatos, co-artistic director of Publick Musick, about the group’s upcoming performance of a program exclusively featuring the works of Isabella Leonarda, an Italian composer of the Baroque Era, who lived 1620-1704. Leonarda was a prolific composer, with more than 200 published compositions between 1640, when she was just 20 years old, until 1700, when she was 80. Leonarda’s works are found in collections from her family’s archives in Novara, Italy, to Benedictine libraries in Switzerland and Germany to the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris from the collection of King Louis XV. Haritatos and Boel Gidholm are co-artistic directors of Publick Musick, having taken over the position in the summer of 2011. 14 City march 21-27, 2012
Publick Musick was founded in 1995 to provide historically informed performances of music from 1600 to 1800 and beyond, including rarely performed works by women composers and non-European composers. Haritatos and Gidholm give credit to former artistic director Henry Lebedinsky for coming up with this program, and Lebedinsky will perform on the organ for the concert. The program will include works for four voices, two solo motets, and two instrumental works. Performing with Haritatos, Gidholm, and Lebedinsky for the concert are Michael Albert, violin; Deborah Fox, theorbo; Laura Heimes, soprano; Katy Avery, alto; Pablo Bustos, tenor; and Harris Ipock, bass. The program of Leonarda’s works illustrates various musical styles that Haritatos says are “certainly illustrative of the mid- to late 17th Century in northern Italy.” To the question of whether development of this program started with good music, or with women composers, Gidholm says, “Both of them are eggs. We’re always looking for good music, and there’s the other track that is running there, too.” Gidholm, a self-described “early music nerd,”
randomly came across Leonarda’s solo violin sonata while browsing in a library. She had
been invited to play trio sonatas in a concert in Houston in 2004. “It is an extraordinary piece, and it is the first solo violin sonata written by a woman,” says Gidholm. In separate interviews, both Gidholm and Haritatos described the 17th century as an extraordinary and exciting time. For Gidholm, it is the period when the violin evolved into a solo instrument. “Some wild and exciting music [was] written for the violin at the beginning of the century,” says Gidholm. “It was a wild reaction against the styles before that. Leonarda would certainly have been aware of this music because she was in the second half of that century.” Haritatos describes the 17th century also as a time that the cello began to come into its own. Predecessors of the cello as we know it had developed as a member of the violin family since the 1500’s. Haritatos credits the introduction of gut strings with metal windings as the turning point in the emergence of the cello. “You got more mass with less thickness, the strings responded more quickly, and suddenly you started to get solo literature for the cello,” says Haritatos. Gidholm plays a violin made by Eduardo Gorr in Cremona, Italy, in 2004, which is a copy of the 1709 “Viotti” by Stradivarius. Haritatos’ cello was made in 1991 by Celia
of Leonarda’s work is scheduled to take place during the “Women in Music Festival” put on by the Eastman School of Music; this year’s festival runs March 26-31. Festival Artistic Director Sylvie Beaudette calls the upcoming concert a “special event.” “Having a concert of music by a Baroque woman music composer is a treat,” says Beaudette. “It is something we wouldn’t have seen even 40 years ago, when it would have been special to have even one such composition on a program.” Beaudette explains that for women composers in the Baroque period, opportunities were few and far between, and that those who achieved success, like Leonarda, were either nuns or had parents who were also musicians or nobility. “Isabella Leonarda came from a very prominent family. Her father was a nobleman. She fits basically in that category. Also, she entered the convent,” says Beaudette. “I think being in those two circles, the nobility and the convent, she had access to musical education and was allowed to perform that music, as well.” Beaudette also comments that, in general, even for women who were well regarded during their lifetime, “somehow, the history books decided that they were not worth talking about,” she says. For Leonarda, in this regard she may prove the exception to the rule. In 1724, Sebastian de Brossard, author of the French dictionary of music, wrote high praise of the works of Leonarda, stating “all of the works of this illustrious and incomparable composer are so beautiful, so gracious, so brilliant and at the same time so knowledgeable and so wise, that my great regret is in not having them all.” It was from Brossard that King Louis XV purchased the collection of Leonarda’s works that were ultimately acquired by the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. Gidholm says the concerts also offer a unique opportunity for the audience, because there are very few recordings of Leonarda’s work, and only a portion of her work, at that. Haritatos adds, “[The concert is] an unusual opportunity to hear some great music live, and the spaces we’re performing in are also very beautiful and appropriate for this music.” Publick Musick will also perform Monday, March 26, at 7 p.m. as part of the Women in Music Festival. The free concert will take place at Blessed Sacrament Church, 259 Rutgers St. For more information visit esm.rochester.edu/wmf.

ALT-COUNTRY | Ana Egge
You don’t record an album as powerful as Ana Egge’s “Bad Blood” without some good company. Produced by folk legend Steve Earle, in Levon Helm’s Woodstock studio, the album draws comparisons to fellow folk songstresses Gillian Welch and Lucinda Williams. The Brooklyn-by-way-of-Saskatchewan alt-country crooner makes music with an edge courtesy of driving backbeats and distorted guitar. With songs entitled “Driving With No Hands” and “Motorcycle,” plus lyrics proclaiming, “One more sinner on the interstate,” Egge champions road music the way only a folk singer can.

ELECTRONICA | Chemicals of Creation
Chemicals of Creation was not formed in a laboratory test tube, but at an audio-production class at Syracuse University. DJs Devon James (formerly a guitarist for the legendary Jamaican ska band The Skatalites) and John Kunz, a.k.a. Dr. Teeth, stir up a sonic experiment of catchy samples and drop overwhelming bass lines that fuse multiple electronic music genres, including dubstep and house. The result is a catalyst for audiences to get hyphy and tear up the dance floor. Just be careful not to burn your pants off. With DJ Mike Smiroldo, and Daggs. Shakedown DJs to follow at 11 p.m.

POP/ROCK | Spanish Prisoners
There is a long con that goes by the name The Spanish Prisoner, in which a person is duped into repeatedly supplying money in efforts to release a supposedly wealthy individual from a prison in Spain. With promises of lavish recompense in exchange for monetary assistance, the reward is never received. Alternately, Brooklyn foursome Spanish Prisoners reward almost instantly within the band’s layers of hazy, melodic dream pop. Both on its 2011 debut LP “Gold Fools” and live, the outfit relies on reverb-laden guitars, male-female vocal harmonies, and swirling keyboards to wash over listeners, creating an instantly gratifying experience. Spanish Prisoners performs Tuesday, March 27, 9 p.m. at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $7-$9. 454-2966, bugjar.com. — BY DAVE LABARGE The Closing Time Band.

Art phrase in the whole show is painted upon a roll of toilet paper streaming above the targeted twin towers of the World Trade Center: “need a new Pearl Harbor.” “FDR” and “The Mendacious Maniacal Magician” (featuring Dubya) are part of Quiróz’s U.S. Presidents series, which he began in 1994. Barack Obama doesn’t escape criticism in this show, and “F’ Ulna Ah Wuz Why T” is little more than a hugely oversized head bearing the 43rd president’s features, but cast in a ruddy white face with blonde hair. He’s shown cackling amid piles of dollars and grinning party animals, donkey and elephant, with two phrases: “Af-gas-gone” and “E-rak-it.” Two sobering images included in the
Alfred Quiróz’s “FDR is part of his “Jingoisms” exhibition, now up at Mercer Gallery. PHOTO PROVIDED
Sick, sad world “Jingoisms” By Alfred Quiróz Through March 30 Mercer Gallery, Monroe Community College, 1000 E. Henrietta Road Monday-Thursday 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Friday 11 a.m.-4 p.m., or by appointment 292-2021 | monroecc.edu/go/mercer [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
Mercer Gallery’s current exhibition of works by Alfred Quiróz — professor or art at University of Arizona, Vietnam veteran, and painter of sadly true political dealings — includes just 10 bombastically colored paintings and one quiet graphite-on-paper work. But each piece is so bursting with poignant meanings that a viewer might spend hours considering the multiple socio-political associations through visual references the artist has placed within the works. “Reading history inspires my work,” says Quiróz in the provided statement. “Primarily I am interested in the hypocrisy of how certain historical events are glossed over. My creative process is based on satire, whether it is about the socio-political world we live in or my own personal history.” 20 City march 21-27, 2012
Understanding the real meaning of current and past events requires initiative and extensive research beyond what is reported by the corporate news and lazy, sell-out journalists, and artists are often a result of a person with visual skill and a nagging conscience taking up the task of truth-telling. Quiróz is disturbed in particular by “the needless wars this country has gotten involved in since World War II,” he says. Even critics of the military-industrial complex and its current warmongering are hesitant to question our involvement in the horrors of WWII, because we have been so convinced of the apparent reasons that the United States became involved. The massive, ambitious work “FDR” has something to say about that. Many scenes split over wood panels compare and contrast elements of war preparation and detention camps on both sides of the war, as well as the interests of leaders of nations. Rows of marching German soldiers are mirrored by hordes of KKK hoods and U.S. soldiers on the American side, and Nazi heroic ideals are positioned opposite American celebrities selling war bonds. Concentration camps are paralleled by Japanese internment camps, and pin-up-esque nude women working at
a munitions factory. Crazed-looking Hitler, Stalin, and American leaders whisper to one another behind closed doors, cities burn, and bodies pile. In the center of it all, the titular character rides a giant tank that funnels dollar signs into the Pentagon as he himself enjoys the spoils of human misery surrounding him. In his statement, Quiróz says that the works
act as bright “cartoons,” using the word as it was originally used during the Renaissance to mean “a quick sketch.” The colorful paintings on panel, boxed out from the wall, and often including elements that pop out further from the picture plane, display the reality of war and make fools of men who don’t need help looking foolish — but a chunk of the audience requires assistance in seeing it. By throwing a lot of raw, visual punches, humor is injected into an otherwise sick, sad world of idiocy. A healthy portion of the show focuses upon George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and their talking heads, depicting the latter as an evil-tothe-core corporate whore and the former as a grown-up spoiled child who sees the world as his toy room and his toilet, and who wallows in delusions that far too many of us share with him. Perhaps the most startlingly truthful
show are bereft of Quiróz’s characteristic mocking tone, and only seek to reveal the reality of war. “Pvt. Bailey and Sgt. Snorkel KIA Iraq” is a graphite work showing a flipped desert vehicle and the two classic “comic” characters laying in shreds. The simple, stark, “Support for Troops” is an acrylic on a panel cut-out depicting the iconic yellow ribbon, flipped upside down and serving as a sling for a prosthetic leg. The title’s essential one-word change in the phrase “support our troops” says it all. Quiróz is also fascinated by the usage of the word “war,” he says, in such ways as the drug wars, border wars, and the war on crime and terror, all of which creates “remarkable displays of jingoism, which in itself it becomes a satire,” he says. The president series is joined in this show by other works in a minor series “involving my ethnicity and the politics involved in being considered a “minority,” says the artist. In the selfportrait “Opportunity Target,” Quiróz deals with the constant assumptions that his minority status has opened doors for him. Backed up against tall and prickly cactus plants, he has painted a giant target over himself, with the bullseye centered on his mouth, seeming to indicate that the opportunities he has as an artist and an educator to speak his mind make him a literal target. Some truths about the world are surprisingly simple, but are complicated by money masters and their talking heads. Quiróz’s work serves to uncomplicate these truths for us. If being a Mexican immigrant with a tenured teaching position in a good ol’ red state, whose artwork is a neon arrow pointing at the men behind the starspangled curtain, isn’t a coup against the imbalanced, well-established order, then I don’t know what is.

LITERATURE | If All of Rochester Read the Same Book
Every year Writers & Books organizes the “If All of Rochester Read the Same Book” program, now in its 12th edition. Even if you haven’t been partaking of this year’s selection, “The Madonnas of Leningrad” by Debra Dean (pictured), you can get acquainted with the story and the author this week when she visits Rochester. Dean’s first stop in her tour of our city will be at Nazareth College (4245 East Ave.), where she will discuss her novel on Wednesday, March 28, 3-4:30 p.m. in the Linehan Chapel inside Naz’s Golisano Academic Center. What began as a short story evolved after 10 summers of research and further writing to become Dean’s best-selling debut novel. A loving tribute to the value and resilience of memory, the novel shifts between 1941 Leningrad, where the protagonist, Marina, recounts her story of surviving the 900-day seize on the city during World War II, to modern-day Seattle, where Marina’s granddaughter is soon to be married, and Marina struggles with her battle with Alzheimer’s disease. The event includes a reading, followed by a question-andanswer session and book signing. For more information about Dean and her Nazareth event, call 389-2614. There are many more “If All of Rochester” events coming up; for more information visit wab.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Literary Events SPECIAL EVENT | Nowruz: Persian New Year
I personally think that we should forget the nonsense of celebrating the new year in the thick of our winter. Nowruz, the Persian new-year celebration, makes so much more sense, as it is held at the exact moment of the vernal equinox. That’s right, while we stand around warming our ailing bones with booze, watching a glorified disco ball pole dance, Iranians welcome the start of springtime and celebrate new life. “Nowruz” comes from Avestan language and means “new day/daylight.” Though Nowruz took place March 20-21, at the time the sun entered Aries, you can learn more about the beautiful traditions involved in Persian New Year at an educational celebration held on Saturday, March 24, at the Memorial Art Gallery (500 University Ave.). The program, “Persian Horsemen, Harbinger of Spring,” takes place 1:30-5 p.m., and includes talks, presentations, tours, traditional musical performances, and samples of Persian tea and sweets. Admission is free, and more information is available at mag.rochester.edu or by calling 276-8900. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Fathers and sons, anger and despair [ REVIEW ] by George Grella
“Being Flynn” (R), directed by Paul Weitz Now playing
In our time, when the contemplation of oneself apparently overwhelms any other external interests, the memoir flourishes. Most of those records deal endlessly and self pityingly with the quite unoriginal subjects of childhood unhappiness, dysfunctional family life, struggles with drug and/or alcohol addiction, and the eventual triumph of the rememberer over all those difficulties, demonstrated by the appearance of the book. As the genre flourishes, many of the authors

attempt to outdo each other in the depth and duration of their suffering, and some, apparently under the pressure of the competition, simply fabricate whole swatches of their lives. Always quick to spot a trend and the possibility of profits, the film industry now and then exploits the memoir, initially in all those made-for-TV disease of the week docudramas of the recent past, then later on the big screen. Movies like “I’m Dancing As Fast As I Can,” “This Boy’s Life,” and “Running With Scissors” share a common source in the personal revelations of the lives of real people. The latest cinematic excursion into the typical memoir, “Being Flynn,” chronicles some painful years in the life of Nicholas Flynn (Paul Dano), a poet who grew up dealing with his father’s abandonment, his mother’s eventual suicide, and consequently a tremendous burden of misery, guilt, and anger. (The book itself is charming titled “Another Bullshit Night in Suck City,” a place I have visited occasionally

myself.) A feckless slacker living off a girlfriend who kicks him out, Nicholas stumbles into an apartment and a job at a Boston homeless shelter, the Harbor Street Inn, a circumstance that forms the central subject of the movie. The director intercuts frequently between shots and scenes of Nick’s present life, interrupted by flashbacks to his childhood and youth, and parallel views of his father, Jonathan Flynn (Robert De Niro). In keeping with the method of memoir, both men provide occasional voiceover narration, in Nick’s case detailing his history, in his father’s revealing mental instability, colossal rage, and a manic self absorption. The elder Flynn, who has served time for forgery, believes himself to be a great writer, one of the three literary geniuses America has produced — the other two he allows in his circle are Mark Twain and J.D. Salinger — and carries with him everywhere a briefcase with his novel-in-progress (it’s constantly in progress) and a rejection letter that he misreads as praise. After being evicted from his apartment for a violent assault on an annoying neighbor, and losing his job as a cabdriver through his alcoholism, Jonathan provokes the ongoing crisis in the movie when he shows up at the Harbor Street Inn. His presence in the shelter naturally disturbs Nick immensely, forcing him into a series of confrontations with his father, who simply dismisses his son’s anguish, reiterates his assertions of genius, and refuses any responsibility

Manifest destiny [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

for his or Nick’s plight. Jonathan also proves an obstreperous guest at the shelter, smuggling liquor, screaming insults at his fellows, picking fights, acting out violently enough to earn expulsion. Robert De Niro and Paul Dano create an appropriate contrast, the father propelled by alcohol and anger, the son sunk in confusion and guilt; unfortunately, though, De Niro’s powerful rage overwhelms Dano’s presumably deliberate underacting. Paul Dano, in fact, contributes one of the most passive performances in recent film, maintaining the same unchanging facial expression whether reacting to De Niro’s outrageous words and conduct, making love to his girlfriend, or listening to the confessions of his fellows at an AA meeting. His one repeated gesture of sweeping his hands through his hair at every cue becomes as meaningless as his unchanging countenance. The ancient and complicated relationship between fathers and sons, which Jonathan constantly throws in Nick’s face and which occupies so much of the story, grows irritating and tiresome after its many repetitions and variations. The real attraction of the movie, oddly, grows out of the utter authenticity of its depiction of life at the bottom of our affluent society. It features a cast composed mostly of non-actors, filthy, grizzled, damaged men, the people who huddle in doorways and sleep on subway grates in any city in the land, showing in some unflinchingly honest sequences the sadness, squalor, and vulnerability of their existence.
Signs. Sometimes they literally spell out for us what to do. Other times signs are less overtly bossy and more metaphysically suggestive, hinting at a certain path or destiny, with a wide berth for interpretation. “Signs” is also the name of a relatively innocuous 2002 sci-fi flick by M. Night Shyamalan, one you probably haven’t given a second thought, but the eponymous hero of “Jeff, Who Lives At Home” thinks about it a lot. Basement-dwelling stoner by day — and, well, by night, too — Jeff (Jason Segel, “The Muppets”) believes in fate, not coincidence. So it’s kind of odd that Jeff would regard his frustrated mother’s request that he go buy wood glue to fix

the pantry door louvers as an imposition, when it just might be another example of the mysterious ways in which the universe works. On the other hand, treating every little thing like an abstract message could get exhausting, so I’m willing to cut “Jeff, Who Lives At Home,” the scruffy, bittersweet new comedy from Jay and Mark Duplass, a little slack. At the very least, the wood-glue McGuffin gets Jeff out onto the streets of suburban Baton Rouge where, after a sign gone awry, Jeff crosses paths with his evilly goateed brother Pat (Ed Helms, “The Hangover 2”), a selfcentered jerk with a new Porsche and a very unhappy wife (Judy Greer, “The Descendants”). A phone call between Pat and their mom, Sharon (Susan Sarandon), let us know that the statusconscious Pat doesn’t get along with his bong-ripping little brother, but once circumstances throw them together for the afternoon, we understand that both men are equally lost. Sharon, meanwhile, seems to be stuck in a middle-aged rut of her own, and as she sits in her cubicle, hoping someone will score her some wood glue, she starts receiving flirty messages from a secret admirer at work. The specter of Sharon’s late husband looms large but mostly unexplored; she hasn’t had a relationship since his mid-90’s death, while her kids reference tough adolescences. But, as she confides to her co-worker Carol (welcome back, Rae Dawn Chong!), Sharon’s both excited over and wary of the attention, yet unsure of what she should do. Then some coincidences — or are they signs? — lead to a big, cathartic convergence. Here’s my hangup: is it lazy storytelling to rely on providential occurrences to facilitate a plot revolving around providential
occurrences? I might say yes if this movie weren’t so irresistibly big-hearted. As with 2010’s “Cyrus,” Jay and Mark Duplass haven’t strayed too far from their mumblecore roots, employing handheld camerawork as well as a chatty, thoughtful script that still allows for organic improvisation. The effortlessly charming Segel uses his awkward, looming physicality to excellent effect, his Jeff a Sasquatch (Pat’s word) who’s trying not to be noticed. The primary pairings — Segel and Helms, Sarandon and Chong — harmonize beautifully, with Segel and Helms totally nailing how siblings really talk to each other. (And Judy Greer is becoming more indispensable by the day.) Full disclosure: I’ve never liked Susan Sarandon, but she’s positively luminous here, and she’s pitch-perfect in this subtle supporting role, giving gorgeous voice to the fear of being alone as well as the even scarier notion of actually finding someone. “Be careful,” the intensely weird French
stranger forebodes to Sung-nam (Kim Yeong-ho) at the beginning of writerdirector Hong Sang-soo’s “Night and Day,” a deadpan comedy about a Korean man’s temporary refuge in Paris after a minor marijuana kerfuffle back in Seoul. The 40ish painter Sung-nam is married, but his lonely sobbing on the phone to his wife every night does nothing to prevent him from trying to pursue Yujeong (Park Eun-hye), a pretty, vain art student. Sung-nam also finds time for a round of skirmishes with a high-strung ex-girlfriend, and what seemed like a blend of the fish-out-of-water and midlife-crisis genres slowly morphs into a sharp look at the eternal battle between the id and the super-ego. At 144 minutes, “Night and Day” could stand to trim a bit of fat, but Hong helps the brevity with a late-film twist that makes the movie feel fresh again.
PARAMOUNT VANTAGE
RADIO DAYS
Thursday, March 22, 8 p.m. If The Purple Rose of Cairo was Woody Allen’s valentine to the movies of his youth, Radio Days pays homage to another important — and entirely non-visual — force in his creative development: radio. Narrated by Allen himself, this series of warm, nostalgic vignettes includes episodes loosely based on Allen’s Brooklyn boyhood (Allen’s pint-sized stand-in is a young Seth Green) as well as the fictional story of rising radio star Sally White (Mia Farrow). (Woody Allen, US 1987, 85 min.)
THE TRIAL OF JOAN OF ARC Movies for movie lovers, 6 nights a week. Memories/Memoir
Tuesday, March 27, 8 p.m. Returning to the trial transcripts, Robert Bresson's unvarnished account of Joan of Arc’s last days emphasizes her spiritual certainty and physical deprivation. Stripped of spectacle and heroism, Florence Delay’s Joan offers a fittingly simple interpretation: the martyr as, above all, a teenage girl. Rarely seen in the United States, Bresson’s take on the legend makes for a fascinating comparison with Dreyer’s better known version. (Procès de Jeanne d’Arc, France 1962, 65 min., French w/subtitles.)

Magnificent & Move-In Ready 126 Alameda Street Some people love the challenge of an old house in need of TLC; others want to enjoy the convenience of a fully updated house without the hassle of doing it themselves. If you fall into the second category, the freshly rehabbed house at 126 Alameda Street, in the city’s lovely Maplewood neighborhood, could be just the house for you. The house is situated on one of Maplewood’s many quiet residential streets lined with tall, mature trees. Its stucco exterior is relatively unadorned, typical of the practical Colonial Revival and Craftsman-style houses popular in the 1920s. Starting at the front door, the house’s many original features reveal an attention to detail rarely found in newer construction. The original, glass-paneled front door opens into a tiled vestibule, where the house’s handsome, unpainted woodwork begins to reveal itself. The door from the vestibule to the front hall has a leaded-glass window in a fleur-de-lis pattern. In the front hall is an uncommonly generous coat closet (there is a second coat closet by the side door - a rare convenience in houses that predate the advent of the mudroom). Another decorative window, this one with stained glass, lights the hall from above the stair landing. At the front of the house, the living room features a big bay window, a tiled fireplace, and built-in cabinets with leaded-glass doors. A wide doorway leads to the dining room,

with a beamed ceiling and another bay window; sliding glass doors open to a twolevel deck overlooking the backyard. The newly remodeled kitchen features granite countertops, all-new cabinets, and a new wood floor. A large powder room to one side of the kitchen is also completely updated with new fixtures, as is the full bathroom upstairs. Also leading off the kitchen is a pantry that connects to a back stair. Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms, one with its own balcony and another with a large walk-in closet.
