Year one: How’s he doing?

The storyline: girl goes gooey for the big man on campus who, behind the charisma and chiseled chin, may or may not be all that. Then there’s the nerd who worships her from afar: the good, steady guy who knows his algebra backward and forward and never forgets her birthday. You know where this is going, right?

Tom Richards (pictured with Danny Cashman) is not the romance the City of Rochester coveted. But he might be the one it needs.

You’ll remember a year or so ago when Rochester ran through mayors like potato chips

and city residents hesitated to leave their homes for fear that they, too, might be made mayor (OK, that’s an exaggeration).

Anybody who took that burlesque as a sign of things to come has surely been disappointed. Mayor Tom Richards has been thrown a few curveballs — the Paetec sale, the Occupy movement — but he has stayed on his feet. The first year of his administration has been largely absent of controversy. And even those you think might have cause for criticism are, for the most part, complimentary.

The fight for the Cataract brew house

I think we all got taken for a bit of a ride (“How Rochester Lost the Cataract Street Brew House,” News Blog, April 5). The brew house project is a good idea, but should not be misunderstood as an economic salvation to that neighborhood all by itself.

Unless someone else opens a pub or restaurant very close, the Genesee Beer project will have an almost impossible task to be anything more than a curiosity.

Bar patrons like to be in an area of various “joints” – like East and Alexander and the St. Paul-Andrews area. It might stand a better chance if there were at least one other building nearby (13 Cataract) that would be developed into a retail, office, residential facility in the years ahead.

I wonder what might have been had not sober, practical businessmen decided that the old New York Central train station and the RKO Palace Theater had no viable use. We’d have our rail-intercity bus terminal and our performing arts center.

I guess the Cataract Building is lost, but I hope the city and its Planning Commission will take a serious look at the wealth of historic and reusable buildings in Rochester, and work diligently to see that this does not happen again.

CARLOS MERCADO

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com This community was totally divided on that building, with one side wanting Genesee to develop their visitor center and the other choosing to save the building (“How Rochester Lost the Cataract Street Brew House,” News Blog, April 5). No City

one, including the media, proposed a viable (funded) solution for doing both.

The city should have offered up some of the land used as a park on St. Paul above the falls for parking.

If there truly were developers for the building, they should have come forward and worked with Genesee management. This was doable, and as a community, we failed.

MARTIN EDIC

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com Many of us appreciated the castellated Romanesque building at 13 Cataract Street for many years and always assumed that the brewery also appreciated it, which, of course, is why the Genesee Brewery bought it – 25 years ago. (“Cataract Street Brew House Is Bound for the Wrecking Ball,” News, April 5). Only when current management announced plans last year to demolish this treasure did many realize that protective action was needed.

The Rochester Preservation Board, which looked at historic and architectural significance, strongly and unanimously voted for landmark status. The Planning Commission looked at brewery management’s position that the brewpub and visitor center would not happen without demolition of the landmark, concluded that the brewpub and visitor center were needed, and that therefore the landmark must fall.

Based upon comments

by Planning Commissioners prior to their vote, it appears that the Planning Commission would have voted to uphold the landmark status had not brewery management been so obstinate in requiring demolition.

In fact, the brewery had already received approval for the brewpub and visitor center, and could have proceeded on those with the landmark building remaining there. The brewery simply required the demolition, hired a high-powered public relations firm to engineer opinion-maker support, and

succeeded in disingenuously persuading many that this was an either/or proposition.

The New York City private equity group owning this landmark plans to sell it in a few years, and seemingly wanted to clear away any physical heritage that might interfere with their shortterm vision of re-sale profit.

We could have had both the brewpub-visitor center AND the landmark building.

Not too far into the future, we may well have neither.

DOUGLAS FISHER

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com Doug, with all due respect, the NYC PE group also invested substantially in the company’s infrastructure and marketing and related brewery acquisitions to turn Genesee into one of the only growing breweries in the country. Not to mention, the brewery has added nearly 400 jobs since the acquisition.

This was a dead building in a dying business in a dying neighborhood. Facts are facts.

Things have been looking up for the brewery and its impact on Rochester, and this will only further that progression.

Clearly the group wouldn’t invest millions into a project only to sell it into oblivion.

Because remember, and you’re right about your implicit point: they’re in this to make money.

I think this is great news for the brewery, the city, and the future prospects of visitors and events in the area.

BIRDSONG

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com Where were all the historians looking to preserve this building 5, 10, 15, or even years ago? I hold a degree in history, but I support the brewery’s plans. It’s their building, and nobody cared about it until their plans came to demolish it.

Nobody saved Silver Stadium.

I loved going there as a kid.

But I like what they did with Frontier Field too. Sometimes history is best remembered in pictures and progress forward must take precedence.

Occupied, decamped

(On “Ease Up on Occupy Rochester,” News Blog, March 29) While the “goals” of the Occupy Movement have always seemed to me too amorphous, too vague, and too tenuous, I supported their encampment in Washington Square Park on the theory that reminding the citizenry that all is not well in this country’s social and economic structure is, by itself, a valuable service.

However, when it became clear that the movement, both nationally and locally, had sputtered and run out of steam, I concluded that it was time for the handful of Occupiers in the park to decamp. That they instead ignored the fact that rigor mortis had set in and went to court I saw as a futile and embarrassing last gasp.

But I agree that the amount of venom, rage, and invective unleashed on the Occupiers by some in this community has been appalling. People who have never been in Washington Square Park whine about “taking back the park” as if it had been occupied by the Russian Army rather than by a half-dozen tents and 10 young people and as if the park were a popular nightspot for tourists and locals rather than one or two winos.

And the amount of concern expressed by so many for the protection of the park’s lawns could almost make one forget that the park, at the best of times, has been shabby and undercultivated by the city.

And my personal favorite, recently featured in a Democrat and Chronicle blog: a claim from someone who said she was unable to eat her lunch in the park because the Occupiers made her feel “unsafe.”

Having dined near the Occupiers and having dined near the panhandlers, I’ll take the Occupiers.

CITIZENCANDYKANE

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com

I believe City Newspaper might look to its own breathless, one-sided coverage of Occupy Rochester as perhaps sowing the seeds of some of the backlash (“Ease Up on Occupy Rochester,” News Blog, March 29).

The paper basically used only members of Occupy Rochester as unchallenged sources for its “reporting”/ cheerleading and seemed to take the dubious idea that these people somehow spoke for the voiceless masses as gospel truth.

City paper built up this group, acting as its de facto PR firm, with endless, entirely positive coverage, and then wonders why there is a backlash when the group fails to incite and inspire?

This was, from the beginning, by its very nature, an anti-intellectual movement having much more in common with the cheap populist movements (Know Nothings, anyone?) of the early 20th century than the civil rights or anti-war movements this paper tried to connect it to. (Those movements were centered around powerful ideas, not simplistic media slogans.)

They reject any hierarchy, which sounds great until you realize that includes a hierarchy of ideas – so that Occupy Rochester had to treat (or at least pretend to treat) the most ridiculous ideas as if they had merit.

This proved to both a waste of time and a source of embarrassment both for the group and the progressive movement as a whole.

In the end, this was nothing more than an exercise in identity politics for a very small, non-representative group of professional protesters. Ms. Fien’s blog reads like a comedian blaming the audience for not laughing at the jokes. As for finding placements for the homeless, I think that’s great. Some people even do nice things that don’t make the paper.

Will Rochester like its next superintendent?

The Rochester school board may be nearing the end of its search for a new superintendent. As of early this week, three candidates were still under consideration, including the district’s current interim superintendent, Bolgen Vargas. Assuming that background checks clear the other two candidates, they’ll all be introduced in a public session on April 17. It probably won’t take the board long after that to make a decision.

It would be nice if then the school board and the district’s employees could put the superintendent-search drama out of their minds. I won’t be surprised, though, if new drama crops up.

A fair number of community activists are upset about the selection process, arguing that it didn’t include enough citizen participation and that it wasn’t “open” enough. I’m not sure how much more open the process can be, though.

This one involved community surveys and a 21-member search committee that included not only school board members but also city officials, an MCC dean, and representatives of business, parents, teachers, paraprofessionals, and principals.

Members of that committee conducted their own focus groups to get more public input, and the committee worked with the board’s head-hunting firm, winnowing down the applicant pool to those who best met the district’s criteria.

Critics of the process wanted more, but even the openness of the current process could be a problem. Having 21 members on a search committee multiplies the opportunities for leaks. Publicizing the names of finalists can keep some candidates from applying – and that’s particularly true of successful educators who are happy where they are: the very people who could be prime candidates for Rochester.

Maybe the critics will be delighted with what they learn about the finalists. Maybe they’ll embrace the board’s choice. I worry, though, that they’re so upset about the selection process that they’ll start picking away at the new superintendent before he or she assumes the office – that they’ll feel the new chief isn’t legitimate because they think the process wasn’t legitimate.

If so, unfortunately, that will be a particularly big challenge for Bolgen Vargas if he’s the choice. Some activists are dead-set against him becoming superintendent. And from the beginning, a rumor has persisted that the search has been a sham: that the board decided at the outset that it would appoint Vargas.

I don’t believe it – and the Rochester school district doesn’t need this.

There’s a point at which citizen activism becomes destructive, and we may be nearing that point.”

Citizen activism is important; so are full-bore criticism and protests. And school board members, like other elected officials, must walk a fine line, encouraging public input and trying to keep it in perspective as they balance the needs of different constituencies.

There’s a point at which activism becomes destructive, though, and we may be nearing that point. In my opinion, activism that turned into a personal vendetta helped drive out our last superintendent, and it could make the job of the next superintendent more difficult than it already is.

And by the way, keep your eye on the latest activist move: to give Rochester a “parent trigger law,” letting parents overrule the school board, under certain conditions, when it makes decisions parents don’t like.

School board members are elected to be the public’s representatives. If we don’t like what they do, we can get rid of them and select new ones. And if we back challengers to current board members and other voters like the incumbents better, well, then, that’s democracy.

The hostile, personal activism rising in Rochester could give this school district a reputation that will dissuade good administrators and good teachers from wanting to work here – and will dissuade families from wanting to live here and send their children to our schools.

Worst of all, the activism has members of the Rochester school community fighting among themselves – which takes public attention away from the core problems the district faces, concentrated poverty chief among them.

Bye bye, brew house

The fate of Cataract Street’s 19th century brew house has been decided. City resident Carlos Mercado applied to make the brew house a landmark in order to save it from demolition. The Preservation Board voted in favor of the application, but the City Planning Commission voted against. As a result, North American Breweries can proceed with plans to tear down the brew house and build a visitors center, restaurant, and museum across three properties on Cataract Street. The cost of the project is projected to be $2.6 million.

Kodak health benefits spared

In a change of direction, Eastman Kodak filed a motion saying it no longer wants to end Medicare Advantage, a health-care enhancement plan provided to employees who retired after 1991. The company also filed a motion to create a retiree committee to more efficiently represent retirees’ needs.

RCSD’s grim report card

The New York State Education Department has released its annual “report

card” showing how students and schools are performing based on scores on state exams. The report compares results from the 2010 to 2011 school year to the prior school year. Only 36 percent of Rochester’s schools are performing at a proficient level, the report says. And most schools have been identified as needing improvement.

Letchworth gets rehab funding

State officials announced $4.9 million for repairs at Letchworth State Park. The work will include road repairs, a new water supply, and renovations to the cabin areas, reports the Batavia Daily News. Some of the funding will be used to rebuild the road to Council Grounds. The road is closed because of a landslide, says the Daily News.

Monroe’s population inches up

Newly released Census data shows that Monroe County’s population grew between mid 2010 and mid 2011. The US Census Bureau estimates that Monroe gained 1,281 people during that time period. That’s a .2 percent gain.

Brockport Police Chief Dan Varrenti, a retired Irondequoit police officer, is suing Irondequoit over health-insurance benefits.

Pictured is the exterior of the Brockport Police Department. FILE PHOTO GOVERNMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

Brockport’s police chief suing former employer A lawsuit filed by the Brockport police chief essentially pits two Monroe County communities against each other over the chief’s health-insurance.

It’s a strange case that hinges on whether Brockport Police Chief Dan Varrenti is technically eligible for health insurance through the village. At issue is a clause in the police union contract that was in effect when Varrenti retired from the Irondequoit Police Department in 2002. The contract

required the town to pay for retirees’ health insurance as long as the retirees didn’t take a new job “where a group hospital plan is available,” says the petition that Varrenti filed in State Supreme Court.

Irondequoit paid for Varrenti’s health insurance until January 2012.

Town officials had previously notified him that he would be cut off. Varrenti’s lawsuit claims that he’s ineligible for coverage from Brockport and that Irondequoit officials violated the union

contract by taking away his insurance.

A judge ruled against his request to require the town to provide insurance while the lawsuit is pending.

Court papers say Varrenti is paying more than $1,700 a month for health care Varrenti did not return a message left on his voicemail at the Brockport Police Department.

Cost of War 4,485 US servicemen and servicewomen, 318 Coalition servicemen and servicewomen, and approximately 106,024 to 115,833 Iraqi civilians have been killed in Iraq from the beginning of the war and occupation to April 6.

No American casualties were reported after November 14.

The bullied get a buddy

Meet the superintendent finalists

By the time Jamie Nabozny reached seventh grade in his hometown of Ashland, Wisconsin, he was being harassed with such intensity and persistence that he sought the help of school counselors and administrators.

Though he never told his classmates that he’s gay, Nabozny says he’s sure that’s the reason he was targeted.

“But a principal told me that if I was going to be gay, I had to expect these sorts of things,” Nabozny says. “The harassment continued into high school, until a severe beating ended up putting me in the hospital.”

Nabozny, who spoke with Monroe Community College students last week, won a landmark federal court case against the school for failing to protect him. The court ruled that all students, including lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and those who are transgender, have a right to a safe educational experience.

Psychologists describe bullying as an aggressive behavior intentionally meant to cause physical and emotional suffering.

Bullying is persistent and is usually characterized by a perceived imbalance of power; the person who is bullied may exhibit some characteristic that could be read by others as a weakness, difference, or defect.

Bullying can occur in a variety of settings, including cyberspace, and has pushed young

people to selfinjury and suicide. Bullying has also been linked to student violence and school shootings.

Nabozny’s experience is the subject of the documentary Jamie Nabozny.

PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK film, “Bullied,” developed by the Southern Poverty Law Institute in 2010. The film has been widely shown in urban, rural, and suburban school districts across the US. Nabozny usually attends the showings of the film and spends time talking to students and school administrators.

Nabozny says he strongly believes that young people — not parents, teachers, or principals — are changing public attitudes about bullying.

“Kids, not adults, will solve this problem,” he says. “Kids know who this is happening to, how it’s happening, and where. They know they have the power to stop this, and that’s a message kids don’t get very often.”

The Rochester school board will hold a forum on Tuesday, April 17, for the public to meet the finalists for city schools superintendent. It’s not clear how many candidates will attend, however, because the district was still conducting background checks early this week. | There will be an informal meeting with the candidates from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., followed by a questionand-answer session at 6:30 p.m. Participants will also be able to provide written feedback on the finalists. | The forum is at East High School, 1801 East Main Street. | Former school board president Bolgen Vargas is the district’s interim superintendent and is widely presumed to be in the running for the permanent job.

ART PREVIEW | by REBECCA RAFFERTY

“House of Pictures” in home of Kodak Later this month, 11 Magnum photographers will visit Rochester to photograph and exhibit new work in the birthplace of Kodak, under the project title “House of Pictures.” Magnum, an international photojournalist collective, was founded in 1947, is renowned for its documentary photography, and is owned and cooperatively managed by more than 80 photographer-members. The photographers involved in the “House of Pictures” project are Jim Goldberg, Susan Meiselas, Paolo Pellegrin, Alec Soth, Bruce Gilden, Martin Parr, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Larry Towell, Alex Webb, Donovan Wylie. Photographer and filmmaker Chien-Chi Chang will document the project as it unfolds.

“House of Pictures” builds on a May 2011 project in which Goldberg, Meiselas, Pellegrin, and Soth traveled with photographer Mikhael Subotzky and writer Ginger Strand through the American Southwest. In continuing this “Postcards from America” series, the photographers will this time focus on one particular city.

Rochester was selected for its significance as the home of Kodak, and is especially interesting to the Magnum photographers at this pivotal moment as the area shifts further into a post-Kodak era.

From April 14 to April 29, the photographers will live in a house together, work together, and put on a joint exhibit at the end of the visit. Visual Studies Workshop will serve as the nerve center for the project, as the photographers’ home base and open studio, as well as a place for the public to view photos. “House of Pictures” will be presented live on magnumphotos.com

and through various social-media outlets, including facebook.com/MagnumPhotos and @MagnumLFA on Twitter.

A unique opportunity to work on this Magnum project was awarded to about 50 photo students in area institutions including Rochester Institute of Technology and VSW, who have already begun to assist the photographers in scouting locations to shoot. Teams of four to five students will assist each photographer in finding leads, and processing and posting their images on a daily basis, and will have the opportunity to show their own work in a student gallery at VSW. The students’ involvement is integral in “House of Pictures,” says co-organizer Rick Hock, as so much of the project involves production.

Public lectures on the project have been planned for Monday, April 23, and Thursday, April 26, both at 8 p.m. in the Webb Auditorium at Rochester Institute of

Organizers and participants in the Magnum project, “House of Pictures,” which will take place in Rochester April 14-29. PHOTO PROVIDED

Technology, as well as Saturday, April 28, at George Eastman House, which will entail a panel discussion and book-signing event.

More information on events, installations, and opportunities for public participation will be announced leading up to and during the photographers’ visit; look for spur-ofthe-moment updates on the Facebook page and Twitter feed listed above.

If you’d like to participate, Magnum photographers invite you to share your secret about Rochester. Bring your photographs (past or present) to Visual Studies Workshop (31 Prince St.) on

Wednesday-Friday, April 18-20, noon-2 p.m. each day, for possible inclusion in the project. All kinds of pictures, from any time period and in any medium (prints, slides, albums, etc.), will be considered. In addition, the Rochesterians are encouraged to post their own photos of Rochester in the “Postcards” Flickr group at flickr.com/ groups/postcardsfromamerica.

City is planning a feature story on “House of Pictures,” which will include interviews with photographers and a look at the progress of the project as it unfolds, currently set for the April 25 edition.

JUSTICE | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Innocence lost for the wrongfully convicted An eyewitness identifies a man as a killer. The accused insists he’s innocent, but only family members and a few close friends believe him.

He is convicted and spends the next 15 years in prison, until DNA evidence exonerates him.

It sounds like the plot of a TV crime series, but it is unfortunately not fiction. As many as 10,000 innocent people are sent to prison in the US annually, says C. Ronald Huff, professor of criminology at Ohio State University.

The Department of Criminal Justice and Department of Psychology at the Rochester Institute of Technology will hold the New York State Wrongful Convictions Conference this month.

“Justice Miscarried: Convicting the Innocent,” will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, April 20. Speakers include Steven City

APRIL 11-17, 2012

Barnes, who was exonerated after spending 20 years in prison; Jennifer Dysart, professor of psychology at John Jay College; Bennett Gershman, professor of law, Pace School of Law; and Peter Neufeld, co-founder of the Innocence Project.

The conference will include discussions on false confessions, failures with eyewitness identification, and problems with the criminal justice system, says LaVerne McQuiller Williams, chair of RIT’s department of criminal justice.

Every wrongful conviction levies multiple damages, says local attorney Brian Shiffrin.

“There’s the obvious harm to the person who is wrongfully convicted,” he says. “But that means the person who did commit the crime can be loose and can commit more crimes.”

Wrongful convictions also erode the public’s trust in law enforcement and the criminal justice system, Shiffrin says And some states still have the death penalty, which means it is possible that innocent people have been and will be put to death.

“The magnitude of the problem is far greater than we ever imagined,” Shiffrin says.

Officials in many jurisdictions are reluctant to accept that wrongful convictions are a serious problem, Shiffrin says, and there is a desire to continue to rely on old methods that are presumed to be effective.

There are several reasons for this: mistakes embarrass local officials, and the pressures to obtain quick convictions in high-profile cases are great. And even though false confessions are a well-documented cause

of many wrongful convictions, inexpensive remedies like recording interrogations are not required in New York. (The Rochester Police Department does record interrogations in felony cases, however.)

There have been 289 post-conviction exonerations in the US since 1989 as a result of DNA tests. According to The Innocence Project’s web site, about 70 percent of those exonerated were minorities. A study of the first 200 cases by University of Virginia law professor Brandon Garrett showed that even with the DNA tests, convincing the courts was still an uphill battle.

There were a couple of court dates, media coverage to rival a Lindsay Lohan court appearance, a mess of debates, and on March 29, 2011, Tom Richards was elected mayor of the City of Rochester, succeeding Bob Duffy, who’d been elected lieutenant governor. Just to drive home the theater the whole thing had become: in the span of a few months, Richards had been the city’s corporation counsel, deputy mayor, acting mayor — though some claim he was actually mayor at the time — and then private citizen (he resigned before the mayoral election to avoid conflict with an obscure federal law).

Anybody who took that burlesque as a sign of things to come has surely been disappointed. Richards has been thrown a few curveballs — the Paetec sale, the Occupy movement — but he has stayed on his feet.

The first year of his administration has been largely absent of controversy. And even those you think might have cause for criticism are, for the most part, complimentary.

“I think he’s very thoughtful,” says Rochester school board President Malik Evans. “He’s really not interested in any of the politics of it or any of the personalities.

He rises above all of those things. He’s

about getting it done. He has not disappointed me this year.”

Duffy was a livewire who brought energy, enthusiasm, and unmatched boosterism to the city. But he could be unpredictable and rash, such as when he initiated an expensive police crackdown — zero tolerance — that produced dubious dividends while straining relationships with communities of color. Another example: Duffy’s premature announcement of his intention to seek mayoral control of city schools. The consequences of that move are still being felt, and not in a good way. It’s hard to imagine anything so impulsive detonating in a Richards administration.

But praise for Richards isn’t universal, of course. Leaders of some neighborhood groups still worry that downtown takes up too much of the mayor’s energy and the city’s resources.

“We do need a strong downtown, but we can’t carry the whole city with just downtown and Park Avenue and Browncroft,” says DeWain Feller, president of the 19th Ward Community Association.

We need to pay more attention to the neighborhoods.” And some Occupy Rochester activists have choice words for the mayor. The city won a court battle that forced Occupy to recently end its six-month encampment at Washington Square Park. “[Richards] seems more concerned with throwing city resources at removing protestors from Washington Square Park than actually addressing and enforcing economic human rights and making sure all city-contracted workers make a living wage,” says Occupier Ryan Acuff. “One multiple occasions, we said we’re willing to leave the park if he’s willing to put people before corporations to begin to address the deep-seated issues of poverty in the community. If we build a city where civil and economic rights are put first, everybody wins.”

Occupiers have spoken out about getting

rid of laws that criminalize poverty, such as restrictions on panhandling. And Acuff says he’d like to see Rochester follow the lead of other cities and create a plan to end homelessness, among other actions.

(Chicago is in the ninth year of a 10year plan to end homelessness. The results are debatable.)

H O W’S HE DOING?

That new openness and potential for cooperation is also felt by George Moses, head of the Group 14621 Community Association and North East Area Development.

His group has developed a productive relationship with the city’s business and economic development staff, Moses says.

COVER STORY | BY “Normally, the city goes CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN on and plans itself and we PHOTOS BY go on and plan ourselves,” MIKE HANLON Moses says. “We’re starting To be fair, the to do joint planning. That’s neighborhood huge. It sounds so simple; issue actually started under Bob Duffy. you think we’d be doing this already. But we Some neighborhood leaders said that weren’t. That environment is there now.”

Duffy was too focused on downtown and Richards is well aware that some people the business community, and that the question his commitment to the city’s neighborhoods suffered. neighborhoods. His go-to response is that Duffy’s consolidation of police operations downtown gets the lion’s share of media into two sections — a plan he came up with attention because it’s flashy, and that 80 when he was police chief — and the closure percent of the city’s development dollars are of the NET offices nourished this perception. actually spent in the neighborhoods.

But spent approximately $13.1 million of its at least there seems to be a little more change business and housing development funds of tone.” on community and economic development

projects in the neighborhoods. Approximately $1.5 million of those funds were spent on projects and programs in the Center City. And that money does not include public works projects like road construction, Walker says.

Still, Feller says he would like to see more money for housing rehabilitation, for projects to fill in vacant industrial space, and for Brownfield remediation projects.

“Richards seems to have more of a command of the issues and really seems to have a good sense of how to effectively manage the city,” he says. “I’d just like to see things be more inclusive and more of a focus on the neighborhoods, rather than saying, ‘We’re already doing enough for the neighborhoods.’”

But to be fair, Richards did solicit neighborhood input when he was trying to close last year’s budget gap. He held a series of meetings around the city that let people help choose which services to keep and which to cut. As a result of that input, for example, the neighborhood libraries stayed open. Richards is following the same process with this year’s budget.

The relationship between the Rochester school district and City Hall has never been a grand love affair, but things really took a chill after Bob Duffy’s mayoral control announcement. Essentially, City Hall couldn’t sneeze in the school district’s direction without some district and union officials claiming it was a backdoor way to get mayoral control.

Richards likes to put it like this: “I say ‘boo,’ you say ‘mayoral control.’” It’s not fertile ground for mutual trust and collaboration.

Richards never seemed to be more than lukewarm on mayoral control, and now seems to see it as beside the point: the city isn’t likely to get it and he has plenty of other things to do without taking on a $700million operation. Richards often says that the specter of mayoral control shouldn’t keep the city and the school district from finding ways that they can work together. And that attitude seems to have made inroads with the Rochester school board and Interim Superintendent Bolgen Vargas.

“What I like about him is that he’s action oriented,” says school board President Evans.

“If there’s an issue around the district and the city he’s like, ‘Hey, let’s fix it. Let’s solve it.’ I’ve been very pleased with the working relationship that he has forged. I think it’s been excellent.”

Evans is particularly effusive when discussing Richards’ role in rescuing the beginning of the district’s facilities modernization project last year. FMP is a $1.2 billion effort to renovate and modernize city schools. Richards got City Council to borrow $29 million on the district’s behalf — the school district cannot borrow money — so planned summer work could take place.

Richards did this even though that it wasn’t clear — then or now — if the bonding would add to the amount the city is required to give

to the school district every year through the state Maintenance of Effort law. Richards said then that he didn’t want to delay the project.

“We almost didn’t have summer construction last year,” Evans says. “But he stepped up to the plate to help us with that.

OK, so what’s with the suspenders?

It’s rare to see Richards without them. He often slips his thumbs behind the straps and runs his hands up and down while engaged in conversation. It’s an endearing gesture.

“I’ve been wearing suspenders for a long time,” he says. “It’s just comfortable.

Believe me, I don’t do it for style. That would be lost on me.”

Richards likes to talk and his speech can get weighed down with lawyer lingo or colored by folksy expressions ala Will Rogers. But Richards also has a quick and irreverent wit that he uses to zing colleagues

Rochester school board President Malik Evans credits Mayor Tom Richards (pictured) for melting some of the ice between City Hall and the school district.

I think part of the reason that got done is because of his leadership.”

Richards does openly knock Maintenance of Effort, calling it “bad public policy.” The MOE locks in the amount of funding the city must give the school district every year. That number is currently set at $119 million. The MOE handcuffs the city, denying it the flexibility it needs to deal with real-life circumstances, Richards says. Rain or shine, prosperity or poverty, the school district gets its $119 million.

School board member Van White says he doesn’t agree with Richards’ position on MOE, but he understands it.

“I suspect that anyone who is mayor might find the MOE restrictive,” White says.

One of the primary functions of a city is to educate its children, he says, and the school district can’t levy taxes.

Richards says he knows some people want him to go after the millions the city is owed on the Sibley Building, but he doesn’t agree. “Revenge is not a solution,” Richards says.

and adversaries alike. You can do that when you’re the top dog.

Professionally, those who know Richards say he is pragmatic, results-oriented, and not afraid to say exactly what’s on his mind.

“Everybody comes to that job with their own strengths,” says Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks. “I think Tom Richards is a very hands-on mayor. He’s very involved in the day to day of what goes on in City Hall. I think he’s a no-nonsense mayor with common-sense approaches to the challenges that we all face as

governments. I have found him energizing to work with.”

Richards also doesn’t let populist outrage deter him from what he believes is the correct course of action. There have been loud and long cries for the city to collect the money owed on the Sibley Building: people accuse the city and Richards, in particular, of everything from laziness to cronyism for not going after the money. But Richards has said repeatedly that the right thing to do is to sell the building and get it back into productive use.

“Revenge is not a solution,” he says.

Comparisons to Richards’ immediate predecessor, Bob Duffy, are inevitable. Duffy was a rock star who literally stopped traffic when he went out into the neighborhoods.

People yelled his name and stopped their cars to get a closer look.

“Bob is very charismatic,” says Laura Viau, president of the Browncroft Neighborhood Association. “The media loves him. A couple of times he and his wife were able to come to our holiday dinner and oh, everybody buzzes around him like Justin Bieber.”

Richards says he’s more of an executive type who likes to be involved in the nittygritty of the job. Asked if people might consider him the “corporate mayor” because of his résumé, he says, “I’m sure they do.”

“I mean, what the hell, it’s the background I came from,” he says. “It’s the experience I brought. And I am, by personality, more of an executive than Duffy was. The other side of it is what the job requires of you. If I spent more time meeting with people in the neighborhoods and we went broke, I wouldn’t be doing my job.”

The school board’s Van White says he appreciates that Richards will hear out divergent views. Former Mayor Duffy wasn’t like that when the issue was mayoral control, White says. Duffy said that mayoral control was the hill he wanted to die on.

“There was no room for conversation,” White says. “It was either my way or the highway. Tom Richards is not organized that way morally, intellectually.”

“Tom is more of a collaborator,” he says.

“Tom is not the communicator that Duffy is, but I don’t necessarily think you need to be a great communicator like Reagan or Duffy to get great things done. I think Tom’s style is more behind the scenes. But personally, if you ask me, it’s more productive in terms of getting other people to work together. I don’t think Tom needs to be on a hill. If he were ever to use such an analogy, I see Tom as trying to get everybody up the doggone hill with him.”

The Paetec situation is behind him, but Richards has the rest of the Midtown site to worry about. Sooner or later the city and the school district will have to grapple with facilities modernization again. Richards has said the city will not do any more bonding for that project until the MOE situation is continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

straightened out. Richards is fighting to keep MCC in the Sibley Building as a way to spur downtown’s comeback, even though the MCC board wants to move out. And the city is once again facing a multimillion-dollar budget gap.

In short, Richards is not searching for ways to fill the hours.

“Well, you’re always sidetracked by fires,” he says. “That’s the nature of this job. And I’ve said before that I think one of the most difficult parts of working in the public sector is sticking to your agenda. I think it’s much easier to get knocked off track, partly because people have a right to knock you off track. It’s a public job. It’s not like you can say, ‘Well, listen, I don’t care.’”

“Now, I wish it was easier,” Richards says. “I wish Paetec had not crapped out on me. And so, yeah, we had to run around and spend a lot of time fixing that problem. One way to make an impact and to reassure people is to follow through, to finish things.”

The city’s financial problems are serious, Richards says, but the city’s plea for state aid parity with Buffalo and Syracuse is at least being taken seriously now by Albany lawmakers. And there is positive news to report in the City of Rochester: the number of abandoned properties is no longer rising, and property values are going up in some areas.

“It doesn’t solve the structural financial problem,” Richards says, “but it is an indicator of health. There are a lot of places where that has not happened.

These are indicators that are positive, and they had been negative for a long time.”

Richards says he’s also proud that the city has been able to add more than 1,000 units of affordable housing while he’s been mayor.

Of course, warning people of the dire consequences if the city fails to get its finances straightened out, and begging for cash from Albany aren’t the fun parts of the job, Richards says. The fun part is knowing you make a difference, he says.

“This is where the buck stops,” he says.

“You could be in the legislature for years and have no real impact, if you choose to behave that way. You can’t do that here.”

Richards says he tells his staff that the reason people sometimes give them a hard time is because they care.

“People really care about the basic services we provide,” he says. “They’re dependent on us. So you do make a difference here, and there’s a lot of satisfaction in that.”

Urban Action This week’s calls to action include the following events and activities. (All are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted.)

Johnston to talk on equal pay

Rochester NOW will sponsor “Pay Discrimination: Why Aren’t Married Men Fighting Gender Pay Discrimination?” a talk by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Cay Johnston at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 17.

The talk coincides with Equal Pay Day and is at the First Unitarian Church, 220 South Winton Road.

Breakfast to help Haiti

St. Joseph’s House of Hospitality will hold a pancake breakfast to help the people of Haiti from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 15. The event is at 402 South Avenue with an all-you-can-eat breakfast for $5.

Marriage equality discussion The University of Rochester’s Susan B. Anthony Institute for Gender and Women’s Studies will present “The Long Road to Marriage Equality: 1970 to 2012 and Beyond,” a talk by Yale scholar William Eskridge at 5 p.m. on Thursday, April 12. The talk is in the Interfaith Chapel on the River Campus.

Brockport police chief continues from page 4

Brockport’s new police chief. In lawsuit documents, Varrenti says that he was hired with the understanding that the job did not include health insurance. During a May 25, 2011, meeting, Brockport village trustees passed a resolution affirming that Varrenti has not been eligible for health insurance through the village. Brockport Mayor Connie Castaneda also sent a letter to Irondequoit officials stating that Varrenti is not eligible for the benefits.

Josephine Matela, who was Brockport mayor when Varrenti was hired, backs up those claims. When the village advertised for the police chief job, the listing included a mention of salary and health-care benefits, she says. But the final two candidates were

told that the position wouldn’t come with health insurance, she says.

“We never offered him benefits,” Matela says.

But Irondequoit officials say Varrenti is eligible for insurance through Brockport, the proof being that Varrenti takes a $3,000 yearly health-care stipend.

Irondequoit Town Supervisor Mary Joyce D’Aurizio says the issue surfaced during police contract negotiations that began in late 2010 and ended in 2011. The issue also appears to have surfaced in 2007, though D’Aurizio says she doesn’t know why officials left it unaddressed back then.

“This goes back to even before I was supervisor,” she says.

As part of Palmer Food’s Crave Local Restaurants initiative, Remington’s on Merchants will offer a salad, entree (like the Chairman’s Reserve porkchop, pictured), and dessert for $20.12. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

Crave and save [ CHOW HOUND ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

In its 162 years of operations as Rochester’s oldest family-owned and -operated business, Palmer Food Services has supplied the ingredients for many of the eateries at which you and yours grab grub. So who better than Palmer to organize a local restaurant week, one that will spotlight an industry that accounts for 8 percent of all employment in New York State? And, no, you’re not crazy; there was another restaurant week at the end of last month, but it was a Buffalo-based thing, with only about a dozen restaurants in our area taking part. Palmer’s project, entitled Crave Local Restaurants, features more than 120 participating restaurants, all offering deals for $20.12 (or some variation on the theme) from Friday, April 20, through Sunday, April 29.

Looks like you’ve got some decisions to make, so please allow me to make it more difficult for you with a few tasty highlights. Get a complete list of participating restaurants, along with the fine-print details, at www.cravelocalrestaurants.com (make sure you put that www. in front, folks).

The North Winton Village mainstay Remington’s (425 Merchants Road, 482-4434) gets in on the Crave action with a threecourse meal for $20.12; salad, entrée (filet of sirloin, chicken French, barbecued salmon, or Chairman’s Reserve pork chop), and the choice to either begin with soup, like Remington’s renowned seafood bisque, or finish with dessert.

Or begin with dessert; it’s a free country.

This just in: Tap & Malleteers Joe McBane and Casey Walpert recently signed on the dotted line to open a new spot in the gorgeous Corn Hill Landing property that formerly housed Virtu. And though he anticipates having a world-class beer selection along the lines of his South Wedge establishment, McBane says that the as-yetunnamed restaurant won’t be a Tap 2; a full bar is planned, and a craft cocktail menu is in the works. As for the food, think upscale pub, with an emphasis on locally sourced products and seasonal ingredients. And we won’t have to wait too long: McBane plans to have the place ready by early summer.

Mighty big news creative with its promotion. All four locations will offer a quartet of different options at the $20.12 price point, including “Rochester Original” (Rochester Loaded Fries plus two ROC burger meals) and “Feeling Vegetarian” (Hummus Among Us followed by two Very Vegan veggie burgers).

Lunch for two is one of the $20.12 options at Elegant Expressions Bakery and Café (2084 Five Mile Line Road, Penfield; elegantexpressionsbakery.com); choose a chicken or quiche entrée, served with caesar salad, fruit, roll, a drink, and a slice of cake. Or have yourself an old-fashioned carb party: three cinnamon rolls, three sticky buns, three muffins, two scones, and two rugelach, or 16 giant cookies.

Feeling Italian? At Red Fedele’s Brook House (920 Elmridge Center Drive, fedelesbrookhouse.com) your $20.12 will go molto far: you’ll decide between three appetizers (mmm... greens and beans), then four entrées, including chicken parmigiana or calamari fra diavolo — plus soup or salad — and finally four desserts.

Piranha Sushi Bar & Grill (682 Park Ave., piranhasushibar.com) has an offer involving two glasses of house wine and a choice of two deluxe shrimp rolls, like the Fujiyama (tempura shrimp, mango, and eel sauce) or the Vassar (steamed shrimp, bacon, avocado, and onion crunchies). Or if raw fish is the only thing on your mind, do the sashimi platter.

You, Andrew Jackson, FDR and a pair of copper Lincolns could always pile in the car with a date and head to LDR Char Pit (4753 Lake Ave., 865-0112), back from representing Rochester at the New Orleans Roadfood

You’ve waited (semi-)patiently, and if the signs are to be believed, the first Rochester location of Buffalo-based Mexican chain Mighty Taco is set to open Monday, April 16, at 410 Jefferson Road in Henrietta. For more information and updates visit mightytaco.com.

Ch-ch-changes

So long to the Anchor Bar, which closed recently at the revolving door that is East Avenue and Alexander Street. A fourth location of MacGregor’s Grill & Tap Room should open in that space by mid-May, marking the local chain’s first return to downtown since the closing of the original Gregory Street location more than five years ago. Follow the progress at macgregorsgrillandtaproom.net or get a good chuckle at shouldwegotomacgregors.com.

The Beers of the World shop in Winton Place has closed and — whoa! Dry your tears! It’s merely consolidated with the more expansive BOTW that opened a couple of years back on East Henrietta Road in an abandoned Renaissance-era Wegmans. Visit mybeersoftheworld.com for more details.

Trips to the Sea Breeze area won’t be the same now that Rochester institution Vic & Irv’s has closed. But if you’re interested, it is currently for sale.

Sad to report that Abyssinia, the Ethiopian restaurant on University Avenue, has shut its doors after 12 years in business.

The band draws easy comparisons to another femalefronted duo — Beach House — but its brand of swirling indie is decidedly more timeless than the output of its label mates.

its name, with amazingly fluent live performances that showcase the group’s genre-liquefying ability. Although comparisons to the improvisational elite, like Umphrey’s McGee and Phish, are fair, this freaky foursome delivers a catalog that is difficult to define. Their radical melodic approach, immaculate composition skills, and hard-driving riffs fit with the band’s 70’s prog-rock feel.

Enter soundman [ review ] by frank de blase

Thursday night was my first chance to hear the Vassar Brothers, as the band played at Sticky Lips Juke Joint. The band put out a lot of energy with its old-time rave-ups, but still managed to maintain a sweet flow within all the staccato. It was genuine American music full of strains both lent and loaned; there was as much fresh as there was antiquated. Friday In America got up afterward and twisted the whole joint into a nation under one groove — FIA’s groove.

This band jams, but does so with its eyes open. There is still a glorious looseness and unpredictability to it, but there’s really nothing there to blindside the audience (or the band members, for that matter).

And this band can adapt, as it brought the Driftwood Sailors’ amazing Amanda Lee Peers on board to tear up a funky version of “Dollar Bill.” These cats do their homework. And I can’t say enough about the sound in this place; big and bold and ballsy, kind of like the barbeque.

John Oliver and the Distinguished — or J.O.D., to those in the know — delivered the goods in a tenacious three-way of bass, guitar, and drums Friday night at Lovin’ Cup. Oliver tore it up on the guitar on what I would call singer-songwriter rock ’n’ roll a few clicks in the red. Bass and drums kept it in gear,

uncluttered and precise. It was just good ol’ clutching-a-longneck — or something with long legs — barroom rock.

The Wonderland House Band followed, and I didn’t know quite what to expect. The band had something up front that looked like a body-less cello, or maybe a sci-fi bow-and-arrow combo, and the lead guitar player walked into the place wearing sunglasses and his guitar.

I wonder if he drove there that way.

Honestly, the group looked a little ragtag and ragamuffin. But then the band started to play and the well-lubricated audience hit their feet. This band was tight and solid as it feasted on reggae and bluesy rock jams. And again the sound was mixed awesomely.

Amidst the click-clack of pool balls and the bizz-buzz of inebriated chatter, Deborah Magone wrapped a modest gathering at Scotland Yard around her finger until it looked like a sprung spring Saturday night.

Switching from loops to sailing solos with just her guitar to keep her afloat, Magone rocked it hard. Between her own selfpenned goodies and some select covers (Lennon, Zeppelin, Joplin, et al) Magone never strayed too far from the blue notes, frying the frets of her guitar — and my soul — with a vicious slide.

Wednesday, April 11

“I live my life in patterns and I live my life rhythmically,” says drummer Ulysses Owens, who plays this weekend as part of the Exodus to Jazz Series. PHOTO PROVIDED

Jazz odyssey Ulysses Owens Quintet Part of the Exodus to Jazz Series Saturday, April 14 Hochstein School of Music, 50 N. Plymouth Ave. 7 p.m. | $20-$35, students $10 | 773-7685, ExodusToJazz.com [ PROFILE ] BY RON NETSKY

To say that jazz drummer Ulysses Owens has roots in the Pentecostal Church would be an understatement. “My mom went into labor when she was at a revival meeting,” says Owens.

“I grew up surrounded by a family of singers and preachers, and I was the really shy one.”

That didn’t last long. At the age of 2, Owens started playing drums at church. “My mother was choir director and my dad was the sound guy,” says Owens, who grew up in Jacksonville, Florida. “They would sit me by the drummer so they could keep an eye on me. One day I started playing. I haven’t stopped since.”

Of course, there were other influences.

While church music came from his mom’s side, his father exposed him to old-school R&B. “In one ear I was hearing Thomas Whitfield, Andre Crouch, and Walter Hawkins — all great gospel people — and, in the other ear, Otis Redding, Stevie Wonder, and Aretha Franklin.”

Gospel and R&B moved over to make room for jazz when, at 16, Owens discovered the drumming of Buddy Rich. When a teacher hipped him to Miles Davis, he inevitably gravitated to John Coltrane and drummers like Philly Joe Jones, Papa Jo Jones, Elvin Jones, and Jimmy Cobb. They all became major influences.

14 City APRIL 11-17, 2012

It didn’t take long for musicians to notice Owens’ emerging technique. He was 18 when he entered The Juilliard School, where his improvisation class featured guest artists every week.

“The third week — it happened to be the same week as September 11 — I met Mulgrew Miller. He came over and told me some things to do on the ride symbol,” says Owens. “Nobody ever took the time, other than drummers, to tell me what to do. So I got his e-mail address to stay in touch. Lo and behold, a year later he asked me to go on the road with his trio. I’ve been playing with him on and off since then.”

He’s also been a steady presence in star bassist Christian McBride’s trio. “He calls me his American Express card; he never leaves home without me,” Owens says.

When Owens comes to Rochester with his

own quintet to play in the Exodus To Jazz series at Hochstein School of Music, McBride will return the favor, playing bass in his band. The all-star band boasts Jaleel Shaw on saxophone; Marcus Printup, trumpet; and Christian Sands, piano.

You can get a taste of Owens’ electrifying interaction with McBride by watching a YouTube clip of McBride’s trio playing “Cherokee” with Owens on drums. “When I’m trading fours in general it’s like, alright, let me make a musical statement,” says Owens.

“But when you start trading fours with someone like Christian McBride, it’s really interesting, because he plays more on bass than I can ever play on drums. So, with him, I was just trying to have a conversation.”

Owens continues: “He plays such beautiful, yet virtuosic, rhythmic things, so

if he plays a pattern, I try to figure out how I can match what he does, but then take it a step further and make it sort of one sentence.

So instead of throwing ideas back and forth at each other like, ‘Take this, take that,’ it’s more, Wow, you threw this out, here’s a spin on it, and I try to weave this pattern together.”

An in-demand side-man, Owens has also been tapped by stars like Dianne Reeves, Maceo Parker, Ron Carter, Audra McDonald, and Wynton Marsalis, but his favorite moments are with McBride’s trio with Sands on piano.

“It’s like ESP,” says Owens, “like we feel and sense music in the same exact way. Every time we get on the road it’s like a family.”

With the same two players in his quintet, how are things different when he’s the leader?

“When it’s someone else’s group, it’s just knowing today I’m not in charge,” says Owens.

“Today my job is to do what he wants me to do. When it’s my gig it’s the reverse. ‘McBride can you blow on this?’ With these guys it’s very easy. Some guys don’t make the transition very well, which is why they’re not in my band. The other thing is repertoire. The cool thing is I can program the tunes. I’ve always wanted to hear Christian do this tune…”

Owens, who is not yet 30, ties his drumming into his life. “I live my life in patterns and I live my life rhythmically.

The beauty of a drummer and what makes a drummer necessary in any band is he or she creates the consistency, they create this groove, and if you create the right groove then everything else can sit on top of it. So that’s how I try to live, having these regimens, always being positive, always trying to have an optimistic vibe.”

“The other part, as a drummer and in my personal life, is improvisation,” Owens says. “The beauty of jazz is there’s always something coming to you and if your receive it and you add it into your craft, it can take you on to this whole other thing. That’s what separates jazz from other music, and that’s how I try to live my life.”

Jazz is only part of what he does. Owens produces CDs for singer-songwriters and even the occasional funk band. He also serves as artistic director for Don’t Miss A Beat, Inc., his family’s organization located in Jacksonville, dedicated to exposing local inner-city youth to the arts. Started four years ago, the program takes the children on visits to museums, to the zoo, and other cultural activities. “Growing up, we had exposure to the arts,” says Owens. “Now you just go to school and come home. We do this so kids can have a more enriched life.”

Put all those aspects of his life together and Owens says he’s living a dream. “I’m playing, I’m producing, and I’m giving to children and I feel like that’s what I’m supposed to do in this life. If you focus too much on playing, that’s too self-gratifying.”

DEATH METAL | Cannibal Corpse

Since 1989, nobody has come close to Cannibal Corpse’s uber-dark guitar grinding, pummeling breakneck beat, and sonic carnage. The group is equally extreme lyrically, though good luck deciphering George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher’s vocals when he roars like a cross between Darth Vader and Godzilla with a head cold. The band’s latest, “Torture,” is full-on sick and savage drop-tune mayhem with every instrument — including the vocals — contributing to the brutality. I can’t think of anything heavier. Exhumed, Abysmal Dawn, and Arkaik contribute to the inevitable deafness.

JAZZ | Derrick Gardner w/Eastman Lab Band

Trumpeter extraordinaire Derrick Gardner was in his mid20’s when he arrived on the New York jazz scene in 1991.

More than ready for the major leagues, he joined the Count Basie Orchestra, where he remains today. But that’s just the beginning. Over the years he’s also worked in Frank Foster’s Loud Minority Band, Harry Connick Jr.’s Big Band, and in groups with Dizzy Gillespie, George Benson, Tony Bennett, Joe Williams, and many others. Somehow he still has time to lead his own sextet, The Jazz Prophets, specializing in a hard-bop sound recalling the late 1950’s/early 1960’s bands of Cannonball Adderley and Horace Silver. At Eastman Gardner will join the Eastman Lab Band, a 17-piece ensemble led by Rich Thompson.

Derrick Gardner performs with the Eastman Lab Band Friday, April 13, 8 p.m. at Kilbourn Hall, 26 Gibbs St. Free.

POP/HIP-HOP | Gym Class Heroes

It would be difficult to find a better one-two combination than Gym Class Heroes’s 2005 and 2006 CDs, “The Papercut Chronicles” and “As Cruel as School Children.” Both albums were rooted in MC Travie McCoy’s hip-hop vocals but crossed over into rock and R&B territories thanks to the band’s catchy and melodic songwriting that blended those genres in a unified way. That sort of broad-based appeal has fueled the quartet’s meteoric rise; Gym Class Heroes is hotter than your new iPad. The band is touring in support of its latest CD, “The Papercut Chronicles II,” with songs “Stereo Hearts” and “Ass Back Home” earning the group its second and third Billboard Top 20 singles.

GARAGE ROCK | St. Phillips Escalator

With The Chesterfield Kings chapter in Rochester rock ’n’ roll apparently coming to an end, who the hell is going to burn the garage-rock torch? Though two-thirds of the band lives in New York City, St. Phillips’s Escalator is still ours to claim, and the trio is back together with a sonic vengeance that includes a new single, “Do I Really Wanna.” Since its inception, this trio has dug around and explored the harder substrata of garage. It’s big, bad, loud, and bordering on reckless. Bill mates The Absolutes embrace the same era with a harmonious Hamburg shine spread across its relentless drive. Harmonica Lewinski, a band whose name doesn’t suck, opens.

The show takes place Saturday, April 14, 9 p.m. at Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $5-$7. 454-2966, bugjar.com.

James Holloway and Skip Greer in “Superior Donuts,” now on stage at Geva Theatre. PHOTO BY KEN HUTH

Superior acting “Superior Donuts” Through April 29 Geva Theatre Center, 75 Woodbury Blvd.

Tickets start at $25 | 232-4382, gevatheatre.org [ REVIEW ] BY MICHAEL LASSER

Skip Greer and James Holloway give wonderfully satisfying performances as, respectively, Arthur Przybyszewski, a 60year-old donut-shop owner in a declining Chicago neighborhood, and 21-year-old Franco Wicks, a hotshot black kid who needs a job but has large dreams along with the intelligence and imagination to reach for them. As playwright Tracy Letts portrays them in his 2008 play, “Superior Donuts” — now on the Wilson Mainstage at Geva Theatre Center — both men also have destructive secrets to hide.

Beginning with a robbery and a burst of profanity, the play follows the waning of distrust and the deepening of friendship between the two men until they have a chance to overcome the damage those secrets have caused. The heartwarming ending is both predictable and believable in a play 22 City april 11-17, 2012

that is certainly a crowd pleaser. How it gets there is another matter. Greer and Holloway’s performances, guided by Mark Cuddy’s lively direction, give life to what is, at best, a familiar story to anyone who has ever watched television or seen a movie or play.

In lesser hands, the story would be tired and cliché-ridden, but the trick for playwright and actors alike is to recast the familiar material to make it fresh. Letts’ method is to write dialogue that tells a story with humor and pathos, and to surround the main characters with enough other people — a couple of cops, one of whom is a middle-aged woman attracted to Arthur, and an ambitious Russian émigré who wants to buy the donut store to expand his business, among others — to make the world beyond the shop feel at different times reassuring or threatening.

Letts, Cuddy, and the cast are more successful in the scintillating first act. The dialogue crackles, the relationships between the characters emerge in a crisp yet nuanced way, and the mounting revelations feel true.

Arthur comments, for instance, “What could be more human, to be scared and to keep it secret.” Franco owes $16,000 to a bookie who arrives with muscle to back up his words.

At times, Arthur breaks the proscenium

to talk directly to the audience so we know how he came to this muted state that can still explode with rage, mainly at the mention of the daughter he has not seen in years. Because he fled to Canada when he was drafted during Vietnam, his father’s last word to him was, “Coward,” and he describes himself with quietly lacerating honesty as someone who evades rather than resists.

That said, it is much easier to introduce characters and build a story to a climax than it is to sustain it inventively and move it convincingly to a conclusion. And that’s where, in the second act, “Donuts” falls short. As he demonstrated in the brilliant “August: Osage County” (winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for drama), Letts likes to write plays that are almost self-indulgently long, and the second act here lures Cuddy into the trap as well. A comic scene undermines the serious matters at stake by resorting to the broad writing and easy laughs of sitcom; there is even a seven-foot deus ex machina named Kiril, called in to ward off the bookie’s tough guy. Then an endless stage fight (Cuddy’s decision) and a drunk scene that felt endless (Letts’ writing) also delayed the happy ending unnecessarily.

Mary Jo Mecca was likably tentative but determined as the female cop with an eye out for Arthur, and Christopher Burns was properly sinister as the bookie, Luther Lynn. Jamal Abdunnasir played Kevin, the bookie’s muscle, in a refreshingly restrained way — although he was smaller physically than the man he was supposed to protect.

Daryll Heysham was expansive as the Russian immigrant, although he kept slipping out of his accent, and Patricia Lewis was touching as an elderly neighborhood alcoholic.

Scenic designer Jack Magaw’s dilapidated donut shop and costume designer Christina Selian’s slapdash clothing were a good match for one another. The chrome chairs, their seats covered with red vinyl, suited the shop’s owner with his torn jeans and long ponytail in a neighborhood on the way down. Franco, with his irresistible mix of magnanimity and cockiness, tells Arthur, “The only thing a ponytail looks good on is girls and ponies.”

Once he learns to trust Arthur, Franco shows him the novel that he has just finished writing in notebooks and on odd scraps of paper. With typical hyperbole, he calls it “the great American novel.” Arthur praises it, and it becomes a key to the restoration of their friendship at the end of the play. It is a reassuring image — a piece of paper and a pencil amidst all the ephemeral electronic beeps — of an enduring friendship and two lovely moments that bookmark a good, but not great, play brought to life at Geva.

ART EVENT | Visual Studies Workshop Auction

I don’t know if it’s because we have a tendency to be more frugal in the winter, or because we’re finally emerging from our dens to greet the fresh air and willing to do stuff, but springtime brings a multitude of charitable events and benefit galas.

This includes the annual Visual Studies Workshop Auction, held at VSW (31 Prince St.), which offers a wide variety of photographic and print-media artworks to fans and art collectors in addition to benefiting VSW programs and projects.

Visit the website at vsw.org through April 13, and you can view this year’s images and place bids on items; bidding will continue on Saturday, April 14, 7-10 p.m. at VSW. Admission to the auction is $20. Choose from natural wonders, abstracts, portraits, landscapes, and all manner of conceptual works. A look at the site showed me carnival rides, roller gals, caves, glowing houses of wax, rainstorms, a woman at rest, soldiers, jellyfish, a kneeling elephant, a lonely gondola in Venice, and a nouveaux temple goddess at Burning Man. Both familiar and new names abound. For more information, call 442-8676, or visit vsw.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Show.” Mon-Fri 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

DANCE | Bush Mango Performance & Fundraiser

You don’t need to buy a plane ticket to experience the dance, sound, and culture of Western Africa. This weekend Rochester’s own Bush Mango Drum and Dance will present two nights of dynamic dancing and drum beats.

“Wongai,” which translates into “Let’s go” in the Susu language spoken in the West African country Guinea, is Bush Mango’s latest high-energy dance and drum performance. The 13-member, multi-generational troupe will perform under the direction of Bush Mango Artistic Director Colleen Hendrick and Musical Director Fana Bangoura on Friday and Saturday, April 13-14, at 7:30 p.m.; tickets cost $12-$15.

Also mark your calendars for Bush Mango’s annual “Beat the Drum” fundraiser, taking place on Saturday, April 21, at 7 p.m.

This event benefits Bush Mango’s Youth Project. The night will include dance performances by the Youth Project performers and Bush Mango, in addition to a gallery exhibition, a silent auction, and food. Tickets to “Beat the Drum” cost $100 and include admission to the “Wongai” event.

Both events will be held at Bush Mango Community Center (34 Elton St.).

THEATER | “Titanic”

April 15 marks the centennial of the sinking of the RMS Titanic. With two recent oceanliner disasters, we are humbly reminded that even in modern times, our grand creations are vulnerable to human failure, and we are still no masters of the unforgiving sea.

Forget going to see Cameron’s cinematic version of the story in slap-dash 3D; Everyone’s Theatre Company will stage “Titanic” in three actual dimensions beginning Saturday, April 14, at West Irondequoit High School (260 Cooper Road). The musical is based on the true story, and since opening on Broadway in 1997, it won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Like the film, the musical touches on issues regarding class, immigration, and our vulnerability to nature’s might. Unlike the movie, it tells the stories of actual people who existed and took the fateful voyage.

Performances take place Saturday, April 14, Thursday, April 19, and Saturday, April 21, at 7:30 p.m., and on Sundays, April 15 and 22, at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $15 for adults and $10 for seniors, students, and TANYS members. For more information, call 415-4747, or visit everyonestheatre.com.

Love and folly in postwar England [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“The Deep Blue Sea” (R), directed by Terence Davies Now playing

English imports, even those movies that arrive adorned with honors and greeted with high praise from the usual suspects, all too seldom actually accomplish the journey from the big cities to the hinterlands. The remake of “Brighton Rock,” which received extensive coverage in a number of national media outlets, including public radio, provides a perfect example — like some wines, the film never really traveled well, and apparently abandoned by distributors, only recently turned

up late at night on a cable movie channel.

(Incidentally, though slicker and prettier than the original, it failed utterly to capture the urgency and intensity of the brilliant Graham Greene novel.)

Despite that fact of the relative rarity of English movies in local theaters, another one opens this week, surprisingly close on the heels of “W. E.,” Madonna’s examination of the courtship of King George VIII and Wallis Simpson. “The Deep Blue Sea” coincidentally also deals with the subject of a love affair, this time based on the traditional and enduring foundation of the triangle, whose three points never cease to generate plots, characters, and complexity.

Based on a play by Terence Ratigan that apparently served as a major vehicle for generations of female stars, the simple story, which takes place in the 1950’s, involves the adulterous relationship between Hester Collyer (Rachel Weisz) and Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston).

PHOTO COURTESY

Hester falls in love with Freddie, a former RAF pilot, almost immediately and almost accidentally. Because of the apparent dullness and emptiness of her marriage, she seems primed for an affair as soon as she encounters Freddie, who seduces her the second time they meet.

The picture moves through layers of flashbacks, accompanied by some wonderful music, as Hester remembers moments of her past — at one point, in a nice touch, she smokes a cigarette, and the smoke virtually solidifies into her recollection. It begins, in effect, at its end, with Hester’s voiceover narration of a suicide note, which she places on the mantelpiece before turning on the gas; as she loses consciousness her memories flow into the substance of the movie.

She recalls several scenes from her unhappy marriage, including a horrible dinner with her husband and his dreadful, domineering mother, who patronizes and insults her; her accidental encounter with Freddie; the moment that William discovers her infidelity; and a number of difficult times in her life with her lover. The flashbacks themselves contain other flashbacks, so that the narrative unfolds impressionistically, in fits and starts, without regard to orthodox chronology, a technique that, however lively and inventive, sometimes obstructs rather than discloses motivation and meaning. Hester must far too often describe and explain matters that all those remembered

moments fail to reveal, which frustrates the whole concept of the visual narrative, diminishing the power of her memories.

In some ways “The Deep Blue Sea” seems like a cut-rate “Anna Karenina,” the tragic story of a beautiful, passionate, unfulfilled woman who betrays her husband with a lover who ultimately proves unworthy of her passion and devotion.

A hero of the Battle of Britain, Freddie Page, Hester tells her husband, still lives in 1940, when he experienced the mingled thrills of fear and excitement in air combat; nothing in his life matches the emotions of that time, which partially explains his immaturity and selfishness, the behavior of the daring, reckless young man he once was and can never be again.

Hester confesses to her husband — but not to Freddie — the depth of her feelings for her lover, a passion that actually neither she nor William fully understands. She also knows that Freddie himself does not fully reciprocate her feelings, perhaps even that he never really deserves her, which does not at all deter her; she would rather love him hopelessly and forever than return to her husband and the pallid dullness of her old life. When the flashbacks bring her back to the present, the director provides a perfectly ambiguous visual conclusion to Hester’s plight, a shot from her point of view that comprehends some of the condition of postwar England and at the same time indicates the complexity of her emotions and the uncertainty of her future.

It was right around the turn of the century, you may recall, that some kid decided to shove his nether bits into a warm apple pie. “American Pie” came off like a throwback to those raunchy 80’s flicks in which horny teen losers set out to get laid, and although the film was wildly successful, “American Pie” actually heralded the end of an era. (Perhaps not coincidentally, the Clinton era.) It would be quite a while — arguably not until 2005’s “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” — before another hard-R comedy ruled the box office. We lived the first half of the aughts in a state of mourning and fear, and most of the films released at that time reflected our somber desire for meaning... nothing that the “American Pie” franchise has ever been accused of.

Jason Biggs in “American Reunion.” PHOTO COURTESY UNIVERSAL PICTURES

But, in 2012, maybe there is something deeper to “American Reunion,” the latest in the — kidding! Of course there isn’t, although a case could be made for art imitating life through a movie about dissatisfied 30somethings reconvening far from their carefree youth that stars a gaggle of once-promising actors in pretty much the same boat. The gang from East Great Falls, Michigan, is gathering for their 13th (?) high school reunion, and here’s what we learn: Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) are married parents stuck in a sexual rut; Oz (Chris Klein) is a minor celebrity with a hot but awful younger girlfriend (Katrina Bowden, “30 Rock”); Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) is a pussywhipped house husband; and Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), ever the scarfdraped aesthete, appears to be living a life of Hemingway-esque adventure.

The boys try to hide their reunion plans from the troublemaking Stifler (Seann William Scott), and though adulthood has caught up with the Stifmeister in a humbling way, it’s thankfully done nothing to dim his one-track id. “American Reunion” then proceeds to hit all the beats you’d expect; old flames rekindled, a squirmy sex talk between Jim and his widowed dad (the great Eugene Levy and his magnificent eyebrows), reminiscences about that one time at band camp, and Jim in another compromising position in the kitchen, this time involving a see-through pot lid. Filmmakers Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, the minds behind the “Harold & Kumar” franchise, don’t really bring anything new to the table (besides an NPH cameo, that is), and they don’t really have to; tweaking these entrenched characters would be borderline heresy, so all that’s really required is that the characters remain true to themselves.

Well, that and some hearty belly laughs, but I guess you can’t have everything. “American Reunion” does have its share of funny albeit unsurprising moments, most involving the perennially underrated Scott as Stifler, whose ridiculously self-serving antics mask a loyal heart. It’s difficult to watch charming performers like Biggs and Klein without wondering why they never caught fire. (Also, it’s tough to watch Levy and the bodacious Jennifer Coolidge as Stifler’s mom, the original MILF, without wondering when we might be treated to another Christopher Guest comedy. But I digress.) Simply put, “American Reunion” is a lot like a real reunion; it was totally lovely to see everybody and catch up, but if we’d really wanted to stay in touch, we’d have probably found a way by now.

If you’re the sort who likes a heaping

helping of plot with your food porn, check out David Gelb’s “Jiro Dreams Of Sushi,” a warm, engaging documentary about Jiro Ono, an octogenarian sushi chef who plies his trade in his tiny restaurant (10 seats, but three Michelin stars) in a Tokyo office building.

Interspersed among lusciously hypnotic interludes that chronicle the careful slicing of fish are telling conversations with Jiro and his sons, Yoshikazu and Takashi, that reflect upon the natures of legacy, aging, and duty. We hear from Jiro’s admirers, and we get to tag along as Yoshikazu, Jiro’s heir apparent, visits the fishmongers, exposing us to a whole ‘nother kind of craftsperson. If there’s any conflict within the film, it’s internal, as Yoshikazu grapples with his father’s long shadow, and Jiro continues his relentless pursuit of perfection, one that still fuels him, and by extension his dedicated staff, well into his golden years.

Albert Brooks

Saturday, April 14, 8 p.m.

After a payroll robbery goes horribly wrong, a gang of aging outlaws is pursued into Mexico by a band of bounty hunters. The result is enough bloodshed and collateral damage to make this brutal post-Bonnie and Clyde Western epic one of the most controversial films of the ’60s. Peckinpah’s masterpiece is a violent, often beautiful requiem for a fast disappearing West and, it would turn out, the Western genre.

(Sam Peckinpah, US 1969, 143 min.)

TO ADVERTISE CONTACT CHRISTINE TODAY! CALL 244-3329 X23 OR EMAIL CHRISTINE@ROCHESTERCITYNEWS.COM

The compelling house at 226 Aldine Street, erected in 1913, embodies the allure and value of the 19th Ward. Set along a handsome street lined with a spectrum of types and colors, 226 Aldine exudes a little Craftsman bungalow, a little Foursquare, and a little Colonial Revival. Like many houses in Rochester, it is an interesting mélange, a mix, a mash, of traditional styles.

The covered front door on the right of the front side joins a large covered porch (and its jovial detailing) and a Craftsman-style roof overhang to provide a unique welcome to the house. Beyond the front door, a vestibule with a floral mural and original ornate tiled floor helps to conserve precious heat in the winter. A cheery foyer lit by leaded glass windows along the stairway leads straight to the kitchen and left to the spacious living room, which features a working wood fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and handsome dark trim everywhere. This is the room offering French-door access to the covered front porch, sure to be the spot of choice on long summer days. An ample dining room includes a funky mini-alcove and leaded-glass windows.

Retro fans, you’ll love the kitchen, which features white metal drawers and cabinet doors, a Tracy stainless-steel sink and countertop, and a curved-edge countertop.

New tile makes the kitchen a neat mix of older and newer. A new small but handy bath is off the kitchen, and a back door

leads to the second of three porches, also of the covered variety.

The upstairs landing has particularly handsome linen closet doors and drawers, and a nifty half-wide door opening to another closet. Three good-sized bedrooms branch off this landing; one is easily big enough for two kids. The second rear bedroom has a door leading to the house’s third covered porch—this one a classic sleeping porch. The upstairs bathroom is spacious and has retro elements as well.

The attic reveals the unusual shape of the roof, and includes clean storage space as well as a finished room now used as a writer’s garret. The basement is also clean and readily usable for storage and even some home improvement activity. The long backyard includes a two-car garage, but leaves more than enough space for play and partying.

With the house comes the diverse 19th Ward neighborhood, known for its abundance of good people and great places. 226 Aldine totals 1,838 square feet, on a 42’ x 145’ lot, and is offered at $112,000. Call agent Adrienne Kllc at 585.218.6812 for a personal tour.
