Cuomo’s reforms
On Governor Andrew Cuomo’s proposed IDA reforms: Under Cuomo, New York has experienced the demise of 39,453 businesses. Cuomo is raiding $1.75 billion from the reserves of the off-budget State Insurance Fund. Cuomo cannot even hold on to his Democratic majority, which is in the middle of a corruption scandal and pay-to-play politics. He has disenfranchised the northern and western part of New York with his SAFE Act. He can’t make a decision, either way, with respect to fracking. New York has the highest taxes in the nation and is the most indebted state, with 33 percent of income dedicated to borrowing. It is ranked as the least “business-friendly” state in the country, has the distinction of being the least free state in the union, and is being termed the “Nanny State” with politicians legislating what we can eat and drink. Nine percent of the state’s population left for another state between 2000 and 2011 — the highest in the nation. (See the study by George Mason’s libertarianleaning Mercatus Center.) MICHAEL SILVER

aren’t qualified or are evil or malicious, but it means that these tax breaks are being given out by a very narrow slice of the Rochester community. I would advocate for more community members, perhaps a rotating member from a neighborhood council, maybe a college professor, community advocates on issues like housing or poverty. We need to stop letting these tax breaks be given out by the business community, and deal with them with the whole Rochester community in mind. PATRICK CHASE

In it together
On State Senator Ted O’Brien’s objection to the possibility that Upstate utility users would help pay to close the Indian Point nuclear plant in Westchester County: Since Downstate has been subsidizing Upstate for over 30 years now, O’Brien is way off base here. We’re all New Yorkers. Ted, what did Bill Clinton say at the DNC last year? “We’re all in this together.” This comes off as dumb posturing, something we don’t need. If O’Brien and others want to highlight the prohibitive costs of nuclear energy, fine. There is certainly enough to be said about that. But let’s do so without this kind of divisive politics and posturing. TROLL WHISPERER

GUEST COMMENTARY | BY JOHN KLOFAS
From our cold, dead minds Before there was Wayne LaPierre, there was Charlton Heston. At the 2000 NRA convention, he raised a rifle high over his head, conjured up the straw man of gun confiscation, and declared: “I’ll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.” Bluster and intimidation have been important elements in the NRA’s strategy. But these are not the NRA’s only, or even its most potent, tools. The NRA has aggressively and successfully pursued a strategy designed to ensure that the information needed for rational policy discourse is not available. Largely through riders attached to unrelated legislation by gun-friendly lawmakers, the gun lobby has prevented the collection or analysis of critical data and has erected barriers to much-needed research on gun violence. Pushed by the gun lobby, Congress cut firearms safety research funding at the Centers for Disease Control by 96 percent in the mid-1990’s and added additional gun research restrictions to that and other agencies. Using the argument that any database could be used for gun confiscation, the gun lobby has also prevented collection of almost all data on gun owners, buyers, and sellers. There are no centralized records of gun dealers, and dealers are not required to inventory their merchandise. Tracing guns used in crimes has been made nearly impossible by legal restrictions on maintaining transaction records. The NRA’s de-information strategy has allowed it to bolster its position with the claim that there is little evidence supporting specific gun-reform policies. It is more than ironic that those who fight on the false front of gun confiscation do so by trying to confiscate our knowledge, our reason, and our ability to understand. This is, though, just one skirmish in a growing war over the value and power of information. A new front opened just recently. The bill to fund the US government through the summer was amended to include a provision that bars the use of National Science Foundation funding to support research in political science unless that research promotes national security or serves US economic interests. One can only imagine the range of research topics that cannot receive taxpayer support. If not new, we are, at least, in unfamiliar territory – made so by stealth strategies. These assaults on access to information have nothing in common with better-known anti-science arguments, such as those made by advocates of teaching creationism in schools, or those who reject evidence of climate change. The warriors for deinformation are not deniers of science. They are instead its truest believers. They
The NRA’s attempt to limit research is just one skirmish in a growing war over the value and power of information. understand the power of science, and they fear it. Their goal is not to deny science but to deny access to it. It is not coincidence that the effort to limit research and restrict access to information comes at a time when the technology for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating information is expanding at a pace unparalleled in history. While the quantity of available information and the speed at which knowledge accumulates are new, the problems these pose, for some, are not. Those who want to limit research and reduce access to information want to do so for the same reasons Galileo was excommunicated and imprisoned for usurping the priestly power to decide the center of the universe. That challenge to power was what was revolutionary about the “scientific revolution,” and it’s what is truly revolutionary about the “information revolution” today. The stakes are high. Rational policy on guns, and on everything else, requires information. But by itself, the cold clinical sweep of that idea assumes the power of information, but ignores the power that it challenges. Little did we know that the real fight was over access to facts rather than how we interpret and understand them, and what conclusions should be drawn from them. It is the search for truth that must be protected now, because it is a revolution that some seek to confiscate. John Klofas is professor of criminal justice at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Curbside compost Rochester residents receive city-provided trash and recycling pickup, but when it comes to composting, it’s kind of a DIY thing. That’s about to change. Local residents Brent Arnold and Steve Kraft have started a city-based business, Community Composting, which will provide residential pickup of compost fodder. They’ll give subscribers a bucket for food scraps and other organic materials and they’ll make weekly pickups, Arnold says. They’ll charge $5 to $7 per pickup. (Subscribers will be able to direct Community Composting not to make a pickup on any given week by clicking a button in a weekly e-mail reminder they’ll receive.)
Sustainability Hall opens at RIT
The Rochester Institute of Technology officially opened its Sustainability Hall, which houses the Golisano Institute for Sustainability. The 84,000 square foot facility cost more than $30 million to build, and features multiple energy sources such as fuel cell technology, geothermal system, solar panels, and wind turbines. The institute was designed for master’s and doctoral studies, as well as for research in sustainable product development and manufacturing. Brent Arnold (front) and Steve Kraft (back) are starting a composting service. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

In return, subscribers will receive credits based on the amount of waste they generate. They’ll be able to redeem the credits through a webbased store for loose compost or small kitchen herb plants, Arnold says. Community Composting will take the scraps to Epiphergy, a local company that will turn the waste into compost, animal feed, and ethanol. Arnold says that about 100 people have signed up so far and that he and Kraft should have the service going within a couple of weeks. Initially they plan to serve the Park Avenue, South Wedge, Brighton, and 19th Ward areas.
The service offers a broader benefit by diverting food waste from landfills. In the big picture, keeping food wastes out of landfills helps avoid the need to expand the landfills. And when food wastes break down in a landfill they produce methane: a potent greenhouse gas. “Anything that we can do to complete the food cycle in Rochester is exciting to us,” Arnold says.

By recruiting well-known and tested charter management organizations, E3 Rochester could potentially change the education landscape in the city by adding more schools much quicker than individual charter school creators.
EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

A surge of charters to Rochester? A new company created by Joe Klein, chair of Klein Steel and former board member of True North Rochester Preparatory Charter School, is recruiting specialized organizations to open and manage charter schools in Rochester. By recruiting well-known and tested charter management organizations, E3 Rochester could potentially change the education landscape in the city by adding more schools much quicker than individual charter school creators. But Klein says quality is more important than just adding schools. E3 is working with PUC Schools, an organization that operates 13 charter schools in Los Angeles, to open a middle school in Rochester, Klein says. And E3 is working with the Noble Network of Charter Schools, operators of the Pritzker College Preparatory High School in Chicago, to open a charter high school, he says. Applications to the State Education Department for the two new charters have been sent out, Klein says, and the plan is to open the schools in 2014. Each school would probably launch with a single grade and grow out, Klein says. And 100 percent of the students would be chosen by lottery, he says. Klein says he is an avid supporter of public schools, but that the problems with

the Rochester school district are nearly intractable for reasons that are beyond the control of the superintendent. Opponents of charters argue that the schools siphon money and students away from the host district. And Rochester Superintendent Bolgen Vargas says the district has lost more than 3,000 students to charters. But advocates say Rochester is a ripe market for more charters because so many city schools are failing and parents want other options. Eleven charter schools are operating in Rochester, according to the New York State Education Department’s website, and more are planned in addition to E3 Rochester’s.
Community report The scores on ACT Rochester’s recently released community report card probably won’t shock you. Most people know that the nine-county Rochester region, overall, is doing better than the state in certain areas — the economy, education, health, and housing. | But when the report focuses on the city, it exposes stark disparities involving race and ethnicity. | For example, third grade English Language Arts scores on state tests show that 61 percent of white students in the region are proficient at reading and writing, compared to 34 percent of white students in city schools. | But only 35 percent of African-American third graders in the region are proficient at reading and only 23 percent from city schools. | And an interesting thing happens when you look at a comparison of rent as a percent of income by race and ethnicity. | About 12 percent of a white person’s income goes to rent in the Rochester region, and about 34 percent of their income goes to rent in the city. | But African Americans struggle, with 45 percent of their income going to rent for those living in the region. And 49 percent of their income goes to rent if they live in the city.

INTERVIEW | BY JEREMY MOULE
Sounding the alarm on water The Aral Sea in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan was once one of the world’s largest saltwater lakes. But in the 1950’s and 1960’s, the Soviet Union ramped up agricultural programs in the sea’s basin, which included diverting the freshwater streams that fed the sea and using the water for farming. By 2010, the Aral Sea was a puddle of its former self. Maude Barlow, a Canadian activist wellknown for advancing the concept of water as a human right, uses the Aral Sea as a cautionary tale. It’s an example of what can happen when water resources are abused or used unsustainably, she says. “They just diverted it to death,” Barlow says. A high-profile voice on water issues, Barlow is chair of the Council of Canadians, which is Canada’s largest public interest group, and chairs the board of Food and Water Watch in Washington, D.C. She was deeply involved in efforts to get the United Nations to declare water a human right, which it did in 2010. Barlow will be one of the keynote speakers at the Rochester Sierra Club’s annual environmental forum, which this year will span two days, April 25 and April 26. More information on the forum is available at http://newyork.sierraclub.org/rochester/. Barlow says the Great Lakes, the world’s largest freshwater ecosystem, are not the inexhaustible water source they are often perceived to be; they face threats of their own. One threat comes from over-extraction, whether it’s for drinking or for large-scale uses like agriculture and food production, industry, power plants, or paper mills. While the United States and Canada have a pact to limit withdrawals from within the Great Lakes basin, there are loopholes. For example, water bottling plants still operate in the Great Lakes region, Barlow says. And developing the regulations to implement the pact, as well as enforcing them, has been done on a state-by-state — or province-by-province — basis. And there are threats to water quality: nutrient runoff feeds algae blooms in the lakes; fracking for natural gas — which is under consideration in New York — is water-intensive; and the heavy crude oil from Canadian tar sands is being transported across the lakes via pipelines and ships. (Extracting the oil is also water-intensive, though the sands lie outside of the Great Lakes basin.) “We’ve got a kind of conquest mentality to water,” Barlow says. “We don’t respect it; we don’t protect it in watersheds.” An edited version of a conversation with Barlow follows. 8 CITY
APRIL 17-23, 2013
CITY: What does it mean to recognize water as a human right?
Barlow: There is actually a global water crisis in terms of the actual demand for water and the actual supply. It doesn’t mean that the water isn’t still there on the planet; it means we’ve done bad things with it. Some people have all they want, all they don’t even need, while others are going without. If you just look at straight numbers and nothing else, the lack of access to clean water is the biggest killer in the world. There isn’t anything that comes near. It’s a bigger killer of people than violence of all kinds, including war. And it’s by far the largest killer of children. While most of the people in the world who are doing without water live in the developing world, it is increasingly true that there are people in the global north experiencing this as well. In inner-city Detroit, the authorities have cut off the water officially to 42,000 residents because they can’t pay their water bills. They’re largely African American, older people, single mothers. And we’re literally talking about third-world conditions where people go out with buckets and they go to parks or they go to the local schools, or they do whatever they can to find water and bring it home. And increasingly, the water is being given over to private interests to develop industrial areas, to develop commercial interests, and away from the people and the small farmers who need it and who depend on it for life. It’s a double issue of the amount of water — the quality, quantity, and accessibility — plus poverty and injustice. Those come together to create a really serious story. As far as the Great Lakes are concerned, what are the implications of treating water as a human right? What would that mean on a global and regional basis?
If you really look at the whole concept of water as a human right, you start to look at who has access, why they have access. For the Great Lakes you start to say: “These lakes don’t just belong to the people of North America.” I would argue that as a fifth of the world’s water, they are a global asset. And we have a responsibility to take care of them, and that means we have to bring in a set of principles upon which we build sustainable use for these lakes. We used to worry more about wealthy companies or countries putting pipes in the Great Lakes and just sucking the water out. I don’t think that’s going to happen. Nobody will let that happen, certainly in the near future. The larger issue is the millions and millions of refugees — water refugees, climate refugees — in the world, where they’re going
to live and where they’re going to get food and water. We have this gift. We have this incredible bounty and shame on us if we allow it to be destroyed. What are some of the other issues facing the Great Lakes?
First of all, they’re in decline in every way in terms of pollution, in terms of invasive species, in terms of water quality, in terms of eutrophication. And we have climate change. We’ve got a huge reduction in the amount of ice cover over the last few decades, which means that [the water] evaporates too quickly because the ice cover isn’t thick and it melts earlier in the spring. We also have overextraction. We’re literally Maude Barlow: The Great Lakes are a global asset.

Dining More manageable, but no less tasty, was Greenwald’s Cherise sandwich ($8.99). Pastrami, Swiss, cole slaw, and Russian dressing grilled on marble rye, this analog of the classic Reuben sandwich brought a welcome peppery and creamy accent to a sandwich that I honestly thought couldn’t be improved upon. While some might quibble with the pickle — real delis down in New York City only serve half-sours rather than the fully “done” garlic dills they hand out at Harry G’s (real delis also wouldn’t put Swiss cheese on a meat sandwich, which just shows how wrongheaded they are) — no one could reasonably deny that this combination of ingredients is inspired, possibly by a Higher Authority.

My tax worksheets this year were a little bit hard to read by the time I actually got around to filing on Monday morning. On one corner of the first page of my 1040 form was a mustard-colored blot obscuring the signature block. My Schedule C was spattered with tiny dots (and not-so-tiny dots) of au jus, the paper warped and a bit smeared. The estimated tax vouchers were a complete loss — destroyed when I put a grilled sandwich (transparent spots on the paper) with cole slaw (whitish yellow stain with a tiny bit of carrot), pastrami (smear of fragrant meat juice and pepper), and Russian dressing (orange stains) down on it to answer my cell phone. Such, I guess, are the hazards of reviewing your taxes at a superlative sandwich shop like Harry G’s New York Deli on South Avenue.
At this time of year, like just about everyone else, I’m painfully conscious of money and how I spent it in 2012. As I sat at home looking over piles of twisted, folded, and torn receipts I noticed something interesting. In terms of value for price there were few — barely a scant handful — expensive restaurants where happiness and satisfaction were in any way proportional to price. On the other hand, at the other end of the price spectrum were a host of restaurants delivering generous portions of delicious food at modest prices. Which, I suppose, is how I came to be dribbling au jus on my Schedule C at Harry G’s one afternoon. Harry G’s New York Deli is a perfect example of a restaurant that delivers excellent value for the price. Owned by chef Brandon Greenwald and his in-laws, Mary Beth and Frank Giglio, and open only since May of last year, Harry G’s serves up almost grossly overstuffed sandwiches at prices that are probably the envy of other sandwich shops in town. Based on excellent cold cuts, good bread (probably Martusciello’s rolls, from the look of them), and backed up by salads, stocks, and sauces that Greenwald makes from scratch, the menu at Harry G’s is well
thought-out and well-executed. If the chef errs at all, he does so on the side of trying to put too much between two piece of bread. Take the portobello mushroom panini ($8),
for instance. A stellar vegetarian sandwich tailored, Greenwald told me, for the large number of vegetarians who haunt the South Wedge, this sandwich is simply too large to eat with anything but a knife and fork (and a large stack of napkins). The sandwich is made with slices of grilled portobellos, red onion, fresh tomato, and a remarkably large amount of basil mayo topped with fresh mozzarella and then passed under a true panini press. The combination of flavors is exceptional and the portion is more than enough for two people to split — even if they don’t get a side of potato salad or some crunchy sweet-potato fries with a side of honey butter. But there’s no way anyone could ever successfully pick it up and eat it without completely destroying whatever clothing they were wearing. That said, the combination of mayo, mushroom marinade, and caramelized tomatoes and red onions that fell out on the waxed paper under the sandwich was so good I considered picking it up and licking it.
I suspect one of those who might take issue with mixing meat and cheese on a deli sandwich would be Greenwald’s grandmother, whose recipe for both chicken soup and matzoh balls are used in Harry G’s kitchen. As with all good chicken soups, this one starts with whole chickens and fresh vegetables, cooked low and slow until the remaining broth could probably revive the dead and would probably restore those who have given up hope to vigorous life. Greenwald’s soup is squarely in the tradition of matzoh-ball soup pretty much everywhere. While I was hoping for the elusive, and perhaps illusory, fluffy, light matzoh ball, the three kneidlach in my soup (which Greenwald says he is still experimenting with) were dense and heavy enough to be a meal in themselves, not at all unpleasant, but not my favorites by any means. Many people speak with reverential awe of Harry G’s Pittsburgh sub, which Greenwald told me is the restaurant’s best seller. But I think the best thing on the whole menu is the French Dip sub ($5.75/ half, $8.99/whole). I first had a French Dip when I was only 7 years old, and I remember thinking then that it was the apex of the sandwich maker’s art. Until I had this deceptively simple combination of sliced roast beef, melted provolone, and garlic-herb mayonnaise on an excellently toothsome roll at Harry G’s, I’d never had a version of the French Dip that lived up to my fond childhood memories. Greenwald’s version, accompanied by an au jus that’s not homemade, but is certainly jacked with some additional ingredients, is nothing short of sensational. The garlicky goodness of the spread, the admirable rareness of the roast beef, and the burliness of the roll all combine to make the perfect sandwich for a chilly afternoon. And the modest price tag for the more-than-generous “half” sandwich is a definite salve for a wallet recently decimated by the Tax Man. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 11
THE 2013
HIGH FALLS FILM FESTIVAL [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
stablished in 2001, the High Falls Film Festival was originally conceived with the intent of highlighting the contributions of women in all aspects of the film industry. But in 2010, the festival shifted gears, renaming itself the 360 | 365 Film Festival. For two years, the festival drifted away from its original mission, instead opting to function as an all-purpose film festival, open to independent filmmakers of all types. After going on hiatus for 2012, the High Falls Film Festival returns this week under its original name, and with a renewed focus on its founding mission. The 2013 edition of the festival, headed by new executive director Mary Howard, will run April 18-21. The lineup, curated by new programming director Kate Dobbertin Bernola, boasts more than 50 independent, foreign, documentary, and short films from 12 countries around the world, all in their own unique ways shining a well-deserved spotlight on women in film. What follows is a quick take on 10 selections from this year’s festival. For the complete schedule, visit the festival’s website at highfallsfilmfestival.com, which also has ticket information, as well as a full list of all the events, panel discussions, and parties.
“The Girls in the Band” It’s no secret that we Rochesterians love some jazz, so kicking off this year’s festival with this fascinating musical documentary, focusing on the early female pioneers of the art form, was probably a no-brainer. The film serves well as a primer on the subject, beginning just prior to World War II, when all-female jazz groups like The Sweethearts of Rhythm were seen as little more than novelty acts, and moving all the way up through the rise of contemporary artists like Esperanza Spalding. Director Judy Chaikin treats all her subjects with reverence, especially the older women. She shows them for the trailblazers they were, fighting for their right to follow their dreams in a field that was seen largely as a man’s domain, and in so doing, paving the way for others to follow in their footsteps. While the film too often relies on the documentary crutch of talking-head interviews, the real highlight here is the 12 CITY APRIL 17-23, 2013
plethora of performance clips showcasing these gifted musicians who prove that gender is no definer of true talent. (Screens Thursday, April 18, Little 1, 6:30 p.m.; Friday, April 19, Cinema, 4 p.m.)
“California State of Mind: The Legacy of Pat Brown” Known as “The Grandfather of Modern California,” Governor Pat Brown’s two terms (from 1958 to 1964) marked a time of incredible change in an era that was particularly crucial to the development of the state as we know it today. Directed by Brown’s granddaughter, Sascha Rice, the film perhaps naturally ends up being somewhat biased. The harshest criticisms the film makes are that he was fairminded to a fault, making him come across as wishy-washy, and that he was possibly too devoted to his family. But it’s hard not to be impressed with what Brown was able to accomplish, setting
up key components of California’s infrastructure, and one can’t help thinking would have been all but impossible in today’s age of political gridlock. Everyone from Tom Brokaw to Nancy Pelosi and Arnold Schwarzenegger provide commentary, explaining how the governor’s career set the standard for all who were to follow, including Pat’s son, Jerry Brown, the current governor of California. Director Rice keeps things interesting (even for a generally politics-averse moviegoer like myself ), an even more impressive accomplishment considering that this is her first foray into documentary filmmaking. (Screens Friday, April 19, Cinema, 1:15 p.m.)
“Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel” Blessed with a sublimely charismatic subject, Lisa Immordino Vreeland’s glossy documentary captures fashion icon Diana Vreeland’s larger-than-life personality, bringing the legend to life through archival footage, interviews with friends, family, and those who worked alongside her. But the director’s most effective decision was to allow Diana to narrate her own life story, through the use of an actress reading from transcripts from interviews conducted by writer George Plimpton while they worked together on her autobiography. Chronicling Vreeland’s life from birth through her time as an editor for Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue, and finally, as head of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute, Vreeland comes across as delightfully droll and eminently quotable. While always entertaining, the doc doesn’t
attempt at any sort of psychological depth, content to stay on the surface of things. But hey, that’s exactly how Diana would have wanted it. (Screens Friday, April 19, Little 1, 6:30 p.m.)
“Unfinished Spaces”
The National School of the Arts was commissioned by Fidel Castro during the early days of the Cuban Revolution. In that time of hopeful beginnings and romantic ideals, three architects — Roberto Gottardi, Ricardo Porro, and Vittorio Garratti — were given the task of designing a campus that Castro hoped would become home to the greatest art school in the world. Given a practically unlimited budget and complete creative freedom, the buildings they created were themselves works of art. Before construction was finished, the school had become home to a community of student artists of all types. But as Cuba became increasingly totalitarian, creativity and art was no longer an integral part of the plan. Construction of the school was halted, and what existed of the campus was allowed to fall into disrepair as the years passed. Directors Alysa Nahmias and Benjamin Murray’s inspiring and often quite moving history of the school, including recent efforts toward preservation by the World Monument Fund, allows audiences to see the campus in all its glory, as well as the ruin it gradually became. It acts simultaneously as a symbol of what
passion and imagination can accomplish, as well as a warning of what can happen when those freedoms are taken away. (Screens Friday, April 19, Little 5, 6:45 p.m.)
“Casting By” Outside of maybe soundeffects editor, there isn’t a behind-the-scenes position on a film set that fascinates me as much as that of the casting director. These men and women call upon a powerful insight that allows them to see an actor’s potential, often before the performers themselves are aware of it. This star-studded and slickly directed documentary shines a spotlight on this aspect of the filmmaking process and pays tribute to Marion Dougherty, a pioneer in the field. Dougherty veered from the traditional Hollywood star-making system, and focused on finding real actors, often from the New York theater community, and often not the standard definition of what Hollywood wanted their stars to look like. In so doing, she ended up securing the first roles of an entire generation’s worth of important actors, from James Dean to Al Pacino, and she ultimately altered the face of her profession for all time. Unexpectedly emotional by its end, “Casting By” pays tribute to an incredibly influential woman and an unsung hero of the industry. (Screens Friday, April 19, Little 1, 9:15 p.m.)
“Turn Me On, Dammit!”
Fifteen-year-old Alma has an active and varied sex life, but it’s one that she’s frustrated to admit exists entirely inside her head. These fantasies incorporate just about everyone she comes into contact with, but most frequently star the main object of her affection, her handsome classmate Artur. The rare story to tackle the subject of teen sexuality from the female perspective, this frequently funny, sometimes quite painful film gets a lot of comedic mileage out of poor Alma’s blurred line between fantasy and reality. Lead actress Helene Bergsholm gives a hilarious, charming, and utterly fearless performance, and director Jannicke Systad Jacobsen demonstrates a keen understanding of the way teenagers can sometimes feel like prisoners in their own bodies, completely at the mercy of the hormones raging inside them.

Joe Locke SATURDAY, APRIL 20 HOCHSTEIN SCHOOL OF MUSIC, 50 N. PLYMOUTH AVE. 8 P.M. | $25-$42 | EXODUSTOJAZZ.COM [ JAZZ ] On the first cut of his superb new album, “Lay Down My Heart,” Joe Locke enters the slow groove of “Ain’t No Sunshine” with the melody and then proceeds to take it for beautiful flight. The Rochester native, who graced the stage of Jenks n’ Jones and other long-gone local clubs in the late 1970’s, is now one of the world’s greatest vibraphonists. On his 33rd album Locke offers excellent originals and a variety of standards, but his most sensitive performance comes on the tune that supplies the album’s title, “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” Locke will explore the album and more when he brings his top-notch group — Ryan Cohan, piano; Jaimeo Brown, drums; and Lorin Cohen, bass — to the Exodus To Jazz series. — BY RON NETSKY

[ REVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
Though the answer sounded rather obvious, it had never dawned on me before upstanding, upright bassist Brian Williams spelled it out. “That’s because you can’t clog on grass,” he said. Williams was sitting in on the bottom end with The Ruff Alley Rounders, bringing extra happy to Abilene’s Friday night happy-hour hootenanny. He was explaining the board lying in front of the four-piece band as it fiddled away in the corner. The young lady that mounted this board — there to amplify her redcowboy-booted feet — bobbed and clogged and stomped in an exuberant gallop that resembled step dancing if the Irish ever moved their arms. The band huddled around a single mic King Biscuit style and bopped instrumentally rural and Tin Pan as folks washed it all down along with the dust of the work week. Boston soul-shouter Jesse Dee is getting bigger and better, and a little more polished. I don’t begrudge the man success, but I liked it better when he served up his shaggy blue-eyed soul a little more close to the
bone and medium rare. The kids still ate him up as he warmed the stage for the Ryan Montbleau Band Friday night at Water Street Music Hall. Walking in off of Water Street I had sort of dismissed Montbleau as one of those mixing-in-a-lot-of-everything jamsters. I’ve got to tell you, I was knocked out by the band, the groove, the tone, and the dynamics. It was all wonderful. Mochester from Rochester was sandwiched between the two acts, rocking steady and in earnest with an exemplary drummer that really stood out as the band plugged though its own mid-tempo rockers and took a detour into Stevie Wonderland. On Saturday night I was due for something hard and heavy and stuck my head in the metal blast furnace that was Lowkey a t the Firehouse Saloon. The band was a volatile mix of old-school heavy with new-school arrangements, kind of like Pantera, just not as over the top. The band bounded about maniacally and chugged full steam beneath vocals that roared in melodic urgency and guttural intimidation.

Guitarist Joel Harrison combines influences as varied as American roots, rock and blues, and Asian music into his eclectic style. PHOTO PROVIDED
Guitar chameleon Joel Harrison W/STEVE GREENE, DAVE ARENIUS FRIDAY, APRIL 26 BOP SHOP RECORDS, 1460 MONROE AVE. 9 P.M. | $10 | BOPSHOP.COM [ PROFILE ] BY RON NETSKY
Guitarist Joel Harrison may have made his name in the jazz world, but when you go to hear him don’t expect perfect bebop runs. “I approach the guitar as an orchestral instrument in the group, not as the star soloist,” says Harrison, who plays at the Bop Shop on Friday, April 26, “so when I’m writing music that involves the guitar, the guitar just becomes part of the ensemble.” Of course that doesn’t mean Harrison’s guitar is lackluster. “I try to bring as much color, texture, imagination, and support to the pieces as I can,” says Harrison. “Each project demands different things. My background is very eclectic. I’ve always been interested in all kinds of music, so I’ve visited American roots music, Asian music… I’ve spent a lot of time in jazz and I grew up as a rock and blues player. All of this has coalesced so that I draw from it in different measures when a project comes forth.” 16 CITY APRIL 17-23. 2013
Instead of one recognizable style — think Wes Montgomery in the 1960’s or Pat Metheny today — Harrison is one of a new breed of musician, embracing a pluralistic approach. “I would say the actual concept, or the word ‘style’ has become outmoded,” says Harrison. “People are absorbing so much information now that very few of us grow up in vacuums where there’s a certain tradition that we’re exclusively working in.” Harrison continues: “I’m approaching the instrument from a compositional point of view, so I look at my playing and my jazz writing as a classical composer would — that is, always evolving. I’m always trying to come up with different ideas and concepts and approaches and not getting locked into any one tradition.” Harrison, 55, has been playing guitar since he was 9. Growing up in Washington, D.C., where his father, Gilbert Harrison, was editor of The New Republic, Harrison listened to The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Allman Brothers Band and other acts of the 1960’s. “It was an exciting time musically and artistically because there was such a feeling of invention and turning of the tide in all aspects of society,” says Harrison. “Rock music at that time, at its best, was brand new. Psychedelic and improvisational rock was being invented in front of us, so it had a feeling of being avant-garde.”
A major influence on Harrison was Hendrix, who he regards as a once-in-acentury musician. “He’s like Beethoven,” Harrison says. You can hear Harrison channeling Hendrix on his fantastic rendition of The Allman Brothers’ “Whipping Post” on his recent album, “Search.” But Harrison was also enamored of the lesser-known Washington phenom Danny Gatton. “My desire to approach the guitar — especially electric guitar — as an instrument deeply rooted in American tradition, but also full of unpredictable and explosive behavior, partly comes from watching him go completely insane so many nights.” Harrison’s multi-directional approach wasn’t always in vogue. It used to cause him a bit of an identity crisis. “I felt kind of lonely and directionless sometimes,” says Harrison. “I was attracted to institutions and musicians who expounded my world view even though they were few and far between. At some point everything started to connect and now I don’t have any concern whatsoever about who I am and how to make everything fit together, because it’s just a grab bag.” Harrison’s connection can be summed up in two words: third stream. The term,
coined by musician/composer/historian Gunther Schuller, describes a fusion of jazz and classical music. Harrison furthered his understanding of it when he studied with Schuller’s disciple, Ran Blake, at New England Conservatory in the early 1980’s. “I learned so much from Ran Blake,” says Harrison. “He would have his students make music out of so many diverse tunes from different eras, and even different countries.” One component of third stream is re-composition. Harrison’s best-known project in this vein, “Harrison on Harrison,” involved the songs of George Harrison Harrison’s songs played a role in another facet of Joel Harrison’s career: Indian music. “So many of us first heard Indian music on Beatles records, and it really was kind of an amazing thing back then,” he says. His interest was further piqued when he heard Vilayat Khan at New England Conservatory in the late 1970’s. “It shocked me to the core. It was so mournful and beautiful,” Harrison says. Harrison pursued the music, attending the Ali Akbar Khan College of Music in California. “I don’t make myself out to be a really knowledgeable person regarding Indian music, but it’s always been in the background for me. So, when I had the opportunity to collaborate with the amazing sarod player [Anupam Shobhakar], the time came to dig more deeply into that.” But Harrison has not forgotten his American roots. “Free Country,” a 2003 project exploring old country and Appalachian songs, featured an emerging singer, Norah Jones. “She was playing with friends of mine and I met her and thought she had a wonderful voice,” says Harrison. “When I recorded the record I needed somebody to sing a few tunes and I asked her. It was just when things were taking off for her. She appeared on the record, and before it came out she had already sold more than a million copies of her own record. That was the luck of the timing.” At his Bop Shop gig Harrison will play in a
trio with Rochester guitarist Steve Greene and bassist Dave Arenius. While upstate Harrison will spend three days workshopping a composition with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra through the Jazz Composers Orchestra Institute, culminating with a performance of his piece on April 24. In keeping with his eclecticism, Harrison’s next album takes on another new frontier for him: big-band music. “Writing for this many players challenged me hugely,” he says. “The possibilities seemed limitless and it is opening up all kinds of intriguing pathways. It’s a whole new world.”

As the perfect accompaniment to this season’s dramatic weather, the Penfield Symphony Orchestra will present a concert titled “Revolutionary Russians” at the Penfield High School Auditorium on April 22. Conductor David Harman will lead the PSO in Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C-Major, Op. 26 (featuring Joseph Werner, piano) and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 in E-minor, Op. 64. The piano part in the Prokofiev is dazzling from its first notes, and simply doesn’t let up as it demands the pianist fly from one end of the keyboard to the other. If you think that classical music does no more than put you to sleep, then this is the program to correct that misimpression.

FOLK | ARCHIMEDES
The essence of folk music is stories and melodies. It’s a gift from the performers to the audience and back again. Acoustic folk group Archimedes is lush with melodies and sings about everyday things, if your world is poetry. The band nails it down with male-female vocal harmonies and sympathetic notes on guitar that resonate in your head. Archimedes sound like disciples of the Sufjan Stevens school of folk-revival. The trio’s songwriting and vocal arrangements remind me of my favorite Michigander. Check out Archimedes on its Bandcamp site and you will hear why this group is a cut above most. With John Valenti, Bogs Visionary Orchestra, The Sleep Soundlies. Archimedes performs Sunday, April 21, 9 p.m. at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $5-$7. bugjar.com. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

Influenced by a veritable hall of fame list of rock musicians, this Rochester-based quartet is gaining some acclaim of their own. The Mighty High & Dry’s sound is rooted in soulful blues, but will surprise you with its ability to funk it up with the best of ‘em. The grooves are infectious, the songwriting solid, and the musicianship workmanlike. It all adds up to Heartland Rock with an almost jazzy feel. The group is scheduled to release its self-titled debut album this May, and is already receiving critical praise.

CHILL WAVE | EL TEN ELEVEN, SLOW MAGIC
El Ten Eleven is back in town bringing the summer sound with that mix of indie and Casio it does so well. While the music doesn’t have lyrics, the density says all it needs to through the magic of mix pedals. Slow Magic has a nice display of chill wave, so if you like The xx or Memory Tapes, this will make your evening just a wee bit more fantastical through the mix of drum machine, samples, and widdly electro bits. Nude Pop will start the evening with a Violens-tinted electro mix. What this group lacks in releases it makes up for by being earnest about it. You can catch El Ten Eleven and the crew Saturday, April 20, 9 p.m. at Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $10-12. bugjar.com.— BY SUZAN PERO

Conductor Courtney Lewis and violinist Corey Cerovsek will join the Rochester Philharmonic for the “Eroica” this weekend. LEWIS PHOTO BY TRAVIS ANDERSON; CEROVSEK PHOTO PROVIDED
The timelessness of ‘Eroica’ Beethoven’s “Eroica” ROCHESTER PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 7:30 P.M., SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 8 P.M. KODAK HALL AT EASTMAN THEATRE, 60 GIBBS ST. $15-$82 | 454-2100, RPO.ORG [ PREVIEW ] BY PALOMA CAPANNA
It’s fun to imagine the kind of kid who would fall in love with Beethoven’s monumental “Eroica” symphony — that jolt, eyes lighting up, smile growing wide. “It’s one of the first pieces I ever loved as a child,” says Courtney Lewis, who will guest conduct the Rochester Philharmonic in a program headlined by Beethoven’s “Eroica” symphony this weekend. “‘Eroica,’ [Bach’s] Brandenburg first, and [Stravinsky’s] ‘Rite of Spring.’ These are the pieces that made me want to be a musician.” In the 1990’s, Lewis was a teen growing up in Belfast, Northern Ireland. At a similar age, but in the 1980’s and in Indiana, violinist Corey Cerovsek was also falling in love with “Eroica.” Cerovsek will be the featured violinist at the upcoming RPO performance, which will also feature 22 CITY APRIL 17-23, 2013
Margaret Brouwer’s “Remembrances” and Wieniawski’s Violin Concerto No. 2. The pairing of the Wieniawski violin concerto and the Beethoven “Eroica” symphony “is sweet for me,” says Cerovsek. “I remember studying ‘Eroica’ in music analysis classes at the same time I was studying Wieniawski — at age 13, 14, 15, something like that. These are the primary colors of my musical education.” Regarding the “Eroica,” Lewis says, “of all the Beethoven symphonies, including the 5th and the 9th, it’s the most emotionally complex and wide-ranging. ‘Eroica’ begins with great energy, but has this kaleidoscopic range of emotion, energy, and enjoyment of life. But as soon as it gets into the development, there is a sense of human beings struggling with something that is very difficult to grasp. It includes the funeral march for mankind. But it traverses into some of the greatest triumph you can imagine experiencing.” Lewis left home at 18 to go to Cambridge,
England to study music. It was there that Lewis first conducted the “Eroica” while a student. Now 28 years old, Lewis approaches the score feeling like it’s even more his own. “It’s almost terrifying; it’s such a huge piece of music,” says Lewis. “How do
you assimilate it all and give it out to the orchestra in just a few rehearsals?” Adding to the level of challenge in conducting such a monumental symphony is that Lewis has yet to meet the RPO. “It always feels like a blind date the first time you meet an orchestra,” says Lewis. “You know in the first minutes whether it will work or not. I generally don’t say anything for the first half hour — it’s just play, play, play. I’m figuring out what the orchestra will do when I do this. Or, when I do that, what is the sound they will make. What do I need to do more or less. It’s a process.” Lewis, who is also a composer, brings a perspective to his interpretation of “Eroica” that includes a study of the earlier drafts of the symphony. On Sunday, April 21, Lewis will lead a discussion and performance of excerpts from earlier drafts of “Eroica” at the Hochstein School of Music & Dance. “When you look through Beethoven’s sketches, it’s insane. It looks like spiders crushed on the page,” Lewis says. “The score hadn’t yet been typeset. But, you can see that he’s always trying to simplify the music into something that is easier to understand so that the listener can get at what he means.” On Sunday “we’ll take the audience through that process so that they can get more insight,” Lewis says.
the composer Wieniawski, violinist Corey Cerovsek has been performing his works since he was a teenager. “I have a certain affection for this piece that goes way back for me,” says Cerovsek. “It’s part of the romantic, virtuoso repertoire. It has lovely, lyrical passages, a slow movement. It is well constructed. It is well orchestrated.” While the “Eroica” is a symphonic masterpiece where the audience will easily see the hard work exerted by every musician, Cerovsek says that sometimes it is more difficult for the audience to see the challenges faced in a piece that is a virtuoso challenge for a violinist. “Your hand travels a few inches from one end of the fingerboard to another, sometimes it’s only a sub-millimeter of movement on this instrument without frets,” Cerovsek says. “I often close my eyes; small spaces become kind of immense from the inside. A part of me says, ‘I hope the audience can see this.’” Cerovsek will play on his “Milanollo” Stradivarius from 1728, which has been played by the likes of Niccolo Paganini. He says of his instrument, “It is a relationship. I’ve spent nine years with it. Each Stradivarius has its own unique personality. This one is beautiful, but temperamental. Very sensitive to changes in conditions.” Both Lewis and Cerovsek bring a particular sense of history to their approaches to music. Lewis wove historical context in and out of his remarks, as did Cerovsek. Both revere the magnitude of a giant composer like Beethoven, the historical context in which he worked, and even what he was reading in the newspapers of the day. And both have been tied to the music they will perform over the course of their lives. Cerovsek puts it this way: “The older you get, the more you enjoy these strands that tie together the experiences of your life. One of the things I love about the music career is traveling through a magical transporter, where normal rules of time don’t apply. I’m communing with the composer and hundreds of years evaporate. I’m pouring my heart into a performance that evaporates. But over decades, how I change and how that changes my performance of this virtuoso piece makes me part of the change of the universe. It’s not the clock that time measures; it’s another dimension.” Conductor Courtney Lewis will also present the program “Beethoven and the Making of Genius” Sunday, April 21, 2 p.m. at Hochstein School of Music & Dance, 50 N. Plymouth Ave. The afternoon will feature music from Beethoven and Mozart. $10-$24; visit rpo.org for more information.

If you’re looking to gather a team of handy folks for your apocalypse survivalist group, think lumberjacks. Around 250 woodsmen — and women — from around 18 colleges and universities in the northeastern United States will converge this weekend on the campus of Finger Lakes Community College for the two-day 67th Annual Northeast Collegiate Woodsmen Conclave competition. The conclave will be held Friday and Saturday, April 19 and 20, on the college’s main campus in Canandaigua (3325 Marvin Sands Drive). The lumberjacks will compete in 19 individual and team events, including cross-cutting, logrolling, pole-climbing, axe-throwing, and canoeing.

Ross Amstey and Patricia Lewis in “33 Variations,” now on stage at Blackfriars. PHOTO BY DAN HOWELL
The measure of a life “33 Variations” THROUGH APRIL 27 BLACKFRIARS THEATRE, 795 E. MAIN ST. $27 | 454-1260, BFTIX.COM [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK
Intricate, delicate, and lovely are possibly the three words that best describe “33 Variations,” the drama currently on stage at Blackfriars. The play, written by Moises Kaufman (“The Laramie Project,” “I Am My Own Wife”) and directed by John Haldoupis, is a nuanced look at the way people relate to one another, refuse to relate to themselves, reject human frailty, and ultimately come to grasp simple truths. It’s a show with many moving parts, and while not all of them are executed with equal strength, the results are still evocative and thought provoking, and certainly worth watching. The show concerns two separate but related stories. The main protagonist is Katherine Brandt, a musicologist about to depart on a trip to Bonn, Germany, to research her musical icon, Ludwig van Beethoven. Specifically, Katherine is interested in discovering why such a musical genius spent years obsessed with writing the 33 compositions that became known as the Diabelli Variations, aural meditations on a simple waltz that she routinely describes as “mediocre.” Even as she embarks on the journey of her professional life, Katherine wrestles with the greatest challenge of her actual life:
she has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and the disease is ravaging her body at an aggressive rate. As we follow Katherine’s story, the show flashes back in time to show us its version of why Beethoven — nearing the end of his life, drowning in debt, and growing increasingly deaf — kept going back and back to Diabelli’s waltz, to the detriment of more lucrative and ambitious creative endeavors. The show switches between the modern day and the early 19th century, with characters from both time-period ensembles sometimes sharing the stage — and even actual lines — at points where the stories and themes intersect. It’s an interesting structure, and the insightful but never obvious language by Kaufman and thoughtful directing choices by Haldoupis make the most of the material and the Blackfriars stage. The modern-day cast is the core of the show, and it is anchored by Patricia Lewis as Katherine. Lewis is unquestionably one of our great local acting talents, and her performance in “33 Variations” is essentially flawless. Her line readings are thoughtful and honest, and always, always totally in character. But her physical acting here is astonishing. As Katherine becomes increasingly stricken with ALS, Lewis herself seems almost to shrink in response, wasting away before our eyes, but still fighting all the time. There is not a moment of her performance that feels forced, or anything less than honest, including the less-than-flattering exchanges with Katherine’s
estranged daughter. The final monologue that she delivers is powerful yet restrained. Lewis is joined by a great supporting cast in the present-day sections of the play, and there is some terrific partner work throughout their scenes. The evolving relationship between Katherine and her daughter, Clara (Ruth Bellavia), will feel familiar to anyone with mother/daughter issues. The scenes between Clara and Nurse Mike (Adam Petzol) are awkwardly, sweetly romantic. And the exchanges between Katherine and German librarian Gertie (Vicki Casarett in a largely comedic role) are frequently hilarious. Unfortunately, the 19th century cast does not fare as well. Jeff Siuda as Beethoven’s associate, Anton Schindler, is the most successful, his exaggerated mannerisms best realizing the grander acting that defines almost all of these scenes. Ross Amstey is only occasionally believable as Beethoven. He is at his best when accessing the composer’s more impish impulses, but often lacks energy. This is true of almost every exchange between him and Terry Browne as Diabelli. It’s telling that Amstey’s best scene is the one he shares with Lewis toward the end of the play. Director Haldoupis clearly found
inspiration in the classical-music subject matter, weaving in visual and aural details throughout the piece. Several of the Diabelli Variations are performed live throughout the show by pianist Julie Covach. The show closes with the cast dancing a minuet (a work that begins with a dance should end with a dance). And the two giant sliding doors that define the set are covered top to bottom with sheet music. (Speaking of the set, designer Haldoupis smartly combines traditional construction with countless digital projections that add to the story rather than detract from it. Blackfriars has been heavily using projections since at least its production of “The Who’s Tommy,” and no other theater in the area uses them more effectively.) The remarkable thing about “33 Variations” is that even as it deals with some grim subject matter — the inevitable failing of our physical body, and our mind’s inability to come to grips with it — it is also sometimes uproariously funny and life affirming. And I mean that last bit in the best way. The show is never sappy, or even melodramatic. Like the Diabelli Variations themselves, it explores the various facets of human reality and relationships in relatable and sometimes unexpected ways.

LIT | JOHN DENSMORE
Legendary rock drummer John Densmore is one hardcore dude. As a founding member of The Doors, Densmore was part of a pivotal time in music when the worlds of entertainment, social consciousness, and spiritual awareness collided. And, as it still does, corporate America wanted a taste of the windfall. For The Doors, and in particular its late front man Jim Morrison, it was no dice. Over the years, the band has been approached to license its music in exchange for a ton of pocket salad. Whereas other members have warmed to the idea, Densmore has remained steadfast and vehemently opposed. A tall order when millions of dollars are concerned. And though still active, Densmore has not participated in the undoing of the band’s original cool by participating in any Doors reunions. He’s written “The Doors Unhinged” to document this court battle with his former band mates and his quest to maintain the band’s majesty and legacy. This week he’ll come to the Record Archive (33 1/3 Rockwood Place) to sign copies of the tome. You can pre-order the book directly from the Archive and receive a wristband to get it signed along with one other item.

RECREATION | COLOR VIBE 5K
This weekend brings a great, get-active event not only for running enthusiasts, but also for anyone playful enough to become part of a human rainbow. The Color Vibe 5K run, held throughout the nation and resembling the joyful Indian holiday Holi, is a unique race in which the participants are turned into human canvases as runners are painted with colors throughout their journey. The YMCA of Greater Rochester will present the 2nd Annual Rochester Color Vibe 5K event on Saturday, April 20, at Monroe Community College (1000 E. Henrietta Road, entrance B). The first wave of the race begins at 9 a.m., with waves of runners following incrementally. If you’re not into getting covered in colors while running through the city, consider signing up to assist with spraying color on participants throughout the race. Registration is $45 or $50 on the day of the event. Ages 7 and under can participate for free, but all participants under age 18 must have a parent or guardian present. Obviously, participants should wear clothing they don’t mind getting messy. For more information and to sign up or volunteer, visit rochesterymca.org/colorvibe. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

The only circus I want to see features no animals with the wild nearly broken out of them, and instead showcases mind-blowingly talented humans willingly showing off their obsessively honed skills. Because of its quality of performance and production, Cirque Zuma Zuma has been described as an African-style Cirque du Soleil by adoring critics and audiences. Featuring performers from 16 African nations, the show has delighted audiences around the world with its combination of playful choreographed dance, a live musical score, carefully coordinated acrobatics, juggling, and impressive acts of contortion. Head over to the Roberts Wesleyan website to watch a preview video in which, among many other impressive feats, a svelte man fits his entire body through an un-stringed tennis racket. Cirque Zuma Zuma will take place in Hale Auditorium at Roberts Wesleyan College (2301 Westside Drive) on Saturday, April 20, 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $22-$34, and can be purchased by calling 594-6008 or online at roberts.edu/home/clc. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Eastman School of Music play new glass instruments generated by Carrie Fertig, artist in residence at Rochester Institute of Technology.

THEATER | “AVENUE Q” SCHOOL EDITION
The Internet is for…socializing? The Bad Idea Bears have cut back on drinking? And what happened to my girlfriend who lives in Canada? This isn’t the foul-mouthed “Avenue Q” that you know, love, and can’t sing in most public places. Rather, this is “Avenue Q” School Edition, a family-friendly (or at least, friendlier) version of the Tony-winning, dirty-minded puppet musical. This PG-13-style reimagining of “Avenue Q” cuts back on the swearing, the drinking, the drug use, the porn watching, and the puppet screwing, and somehow has enough story left for a production that still packs in lots of laughs and harsh truths about the post-grad life. This amended “Avenue Q” plays in the Ensemble Theatre of the School of the Arts (45 Prince St.) from Friday, April 19, through April 28, with matinee and evening performances. Tickets are $9 for adults, $7 for seniors, and $5 for children ages 2 through 6. Tickets can be ordered through rcsdk12.org/ sota, where you can also see the full performance schedule. — BY JASON SILVERSTEIN

Breaking the color barrier on and off the field [ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA
“42” (PG-13), WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY BRIAN HELGELAND NOW PLAYING
No doubt consciously timed for the opening of the baseball season, the new movie “42” provides a valuable lesson in contemporary American history, showing viewers the culture of baseball and of the nation not all that long ago. As everyone must know, the picture deals with some of Jackie Robinson’s struggles as the first black man to play in the Major Leagues. His remarkable achievement in the face of extraordinary challenges
remains one of the greatest baseball stories of them all, a fine subject for film and one apparently too little known today. A four-sport athlete at UCLA, a lieutenant in the United States Army during World War II who was court-martialed for refusing to take a back seat in a military bus, Robinson was playing for the Kansas City Monarchs in the Negro League when Branch Rickey, the legendary baseball executive, offered him the chance to join the Brooklyn Dodgers. Rickey chose him over other prospects not only for his athletic abilities, but for qualities of character that he knew would be required — patience, tenacity, and above all, courage. Rickey told Robinson that he wanted him to have the guts not to fight back, to endure the inevitable bad calls, cheap shots, insults, brush-back pitches, and spikings without complaining or striking back. The picture concentrates mostly on Robinson’s first year in the National League, showing some glimpses of the verbal and physical abuse he suffered
Chadwick Boseman as Jackie Robinson in “42.” PHOTO COURTESY LEGENDARY PICTURES
and some of the anguish it caused him. Some teammates drew up a petition stating that they wouldn’t play with him, some opposing teams proposed a boycott, and thousands of haters sent obscene letters and death threats. Throughout the season Robinson (Chadwick Boseman), in the face of unimaginable pressure, keeps his promise to Rickey, accepting without retaliating all the hatred heaped on him. As important as Robinson’s heroic struggle, the picture also shows the plight of African Americans, especially in the South, a couple of generations ago, the Jim Crow laws, the separate drinking fountains, the whites-only signs for rest rooms, hotels, restaurants, even ball-park seating — all the daily humiliations inflicted for the simple fact of being black in America. Robinson and his supportive wife, Rachel (Nicole Beharie), raised in California, encountering the situation for the first time, educate the audience in the burdens of race, a disconcerting lesson in American history. Despite all that he suffered, Robinson played outstanding baseball, helping the Dodgers win a pennant in 1947, leading the league in stolen bases, and winning Rookie of the Year. After that season, his competitive fire inspired the whole Dodger team for a decade, leading them to five National League pennants and a World Series victory in 1955. He was elected to the Hall of Fame, breaking another historic barrier and leading the way for all the black stars after him.
Never-ending stories [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
“The Place Beyond the Pines” (R), DIRECTED BY DEREK CIANFRANCE NOW PLAYING
“Room 237” DIRECTED BY RODNEY ASCHER SCREENS THURSDAY AND SUNDAY AT THE DRYDEN
The director sticks closely to the facts of Robinson’s early career, relying on the historic record of games and events, using a cast of relatively unknown actors, including Boseman, who resemble the people they impersonate and who actually look like athletes. In voice and appearance, for example, John C. McGinley provides an uncanny imitation of the legendary broadcaster Red Barber. Beyond Robinson’s heroism, he also shows the nobility of Pee Wee Reese (Lucas Black), the Kentucky native who became Jackie’s best friend and supporter on the Dodgers, something of a hero in his own right. Amazingly, the picture really belongs to Harrison Ford as the brave, brilliant, innovative Branch Rickey. Sanctimonious, sententious, comically folksy, and absolutely charismatic, Ford looks and sounds exactly like the man the sportswriters dubbed “The Mahatma.” The script provides Ford with all the best lines and he makes the most of them in what may be the best performance of his career. Aside from its depiction of the history of the game and the country, “42” recalls something of the way the teams performed decades ago, the aggressive style of Jackie Robinson and the whole National League. The game boasted no multimillionaires, no preening superstars, no fancy uniforms or batting helmets or Astroturf, just baseball, played in a lost era on the green grass of Ebbets Field in the bright clear sunshine of Brooklyn.
As the showing I attended of “The Place Beyond the Pines” — director Derek Cianfrance’s moody, ambitious, new crime-drama — came to an end, I couldn’t help overhearing the conversation happening amongst the college-age group sitting behind me. One was explaining to his friends that while the film wasn’t what he expecting, he thought it was “really good.” He went on to say that he was still processing the film, trying to piece together what exactly it was trying to say. “Yeah,” one of his friends chimed in, “it probably has a really deep meaning.” I don’t think I could come up with a better explanation for this flawed, but fascinating, film if I tried. Cianfrance takes a novelistic approach to his small-scale epic about fathers and
Ryan Gosling in “The Place Beyond the Pines.” PHOTO COURTESY FOCUS FEATURES
sons, the choices they make, and the legacies they leave behind. Told in triptych, the film is split into three connected storylines. In the first, Ryan Gosling plays Luke Glanton, a talented motorcyclist making a meager living working in a stunt show for a traveling fair. After one of his shows, he’s approached by Romina (a slightly frumped up Eva Mendes, giving a natural, understated performance), a diner waitress with whom he had a fling the last time the fair passed through town. It turns out she had a son as a result, who she never told Luke about. Instead of turning tail and running away, he makes the decision to quit the fair and stick around. He wants to take responsibility and provide for his family the way his own father never did. Unfortunately, he decides that the best way to do that quickly and easily is to start robbing banks. At a crucial moment, he crosses paths with Avery Cross (Bradley Cooper), a young, too-smart-for-his-own-good cop who gets injured in the line of duty. We then follow Avery’s story, as he’s raised up as a hero as a result of his efforts. His father, a district attorney, encourages Avery to capitalize on the notoriety and transition to a career in politics. Avery soon learns that his decisions open a number of windows of opportunity, while slamming shut several others. The final, most interesting, but also most flawed section of the film jumps in time 15 years to find the two men’s sons (played by Dan DeHaan of “Chronicle” and Emory Cohen of TV’s “Smash”), now teenagers, as they’re beginning to make choices of their own, setting down the paths that will come to define them as they grow into adulthood. Cianfrance’s previous film was “Blue Valentine,” an intimate drama observing the slow implosion of the relationship between a married couple, played by Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, and the director has a gift for getting rich, textured performances from his actors. Here he’s
telling a much bigger story, admirable in its ambition and scope. Gosling gives another great performance as the stoic, brooding type that he’s so good at playing, and his segment is the strongest of the film. The characterization is so sharply drawn and richly detailed that it’s a little disappointing that the story loses some of its focus as it moves forward. It balances this out, however, by becoming increasingly thrilling as its ambition becomes more apparent. “The Place Beyond the Pines” has a scruffy sort of beauty to it, and while it ultimately offers no thesis to the story it weaves, I was OK with that. Perhaps the highest praise I can give the film is to say that the point at which the movie ends could easily mark the beginning to another that I’d gladly buy a ticket to see. Rodney Ascher’s documentary, “Room 237,” playing at the Dryden this week, presents some very unusual interpretations of Stanley Kubrick’s classic adaptation of “The Shining.” Through voiceover, we hear from a number of people offering their explanations for what the director was really saying with his horror masterpiece. Using “clues” found in the film, they see everything from a commentary on the genocide of the American-Indians to an admission of Kubrick’s role in the faking of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Kubrick’s notoriously meticulous, detail-oriented method of directing lends itself well to this sort of interpretation. The many theories are fascinating, often through their sheer insanity, and Ascher’s carefully selected supplemental film clips keep things moving. But clocking in at 98 minutes, “Room 237” is far too long. There’s a lot interesting material, but at a certain point it seemed like overkill, and my eyes began to glaze over. Up until then, the film offers an intriguing illustration of the way in which some works of art take root in our minds, and take on a life of their own.
ROOM 237
Thursday, Apr. 18, 8 p.m.; Sunday, Apr. 21, 2 p.m. Rodney Ascher takes on the theories surrounding The Shining—Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of the bestselling thriller by Stephen King—in Room 237, which explores the divergent readings of a group of devout fans and film scholars in the manner of a suspense thriller. A darkly funny deconstruction of Kubrick’s masterpiece and our desire for fixed meanings. (Rodney Ascher, US 2012, 102 min., Blu-ray)

The first feature from writer/director Jenny Deller is a sensitively drawn coming-of-age story about 13-yearold tomboy Lauduree (Perla Haney-Jardine, demonstrating a talent beyond her years), a budding scientist with an obsession for climate change and conservation. When her flaky mother abandons her to run off and pursue her dream of becoming a make-up artist in California, Lauduree is left in the care of her pragmatic, no-nonsense grandmother (Amy Madigan). This amiable indie film balances a blatant green message with a sweet-natured story, but it’s the performances — including Lili Taylor as Lauduree’s compassionate science teacher — that stand out the most. (Screens Saturday, April 20, Little 1, 3:15 p.m.)
“How We Got Away With It” A group of 30-something friends gather together for their annual lakeside summer vacation, but when an unexpected tragedy occurs, some of them are forced to cover up a deadly secret. I really wanted to like this locally filmed thriller, and it does feature some fine performances and confident direction from first-time helmer Jon Lindstrom. It’s also undeniably fun to note the Rochester landmarks that pop up throughout. The problem is that the script too often asks the audience to ignore any concept of how rational people would behave. The characters constantly seem to make the least logical decisions possible. I grew frustrated with the script’s reluctance to divulge crucial information, so that by the time it gets around to revealing the (by that point obvious) answers, it was difficult to work up the energy to care.

Justine (Mélanie Laurent, “Inglourious Basterds”) works as a radiology technician at the local hospital, but prefers clandestinely using the x-ray machines for her personal art projects. She’s always been content to drift through life, and has never been able to maintain a romantic relationship. All of her problems, however, seem to stem from her strained relationship
with her overly critical, self-involved father, Eli. If she has any hope of finding happiness, it appears she’ll have to start by mending their broken relationship. Blending elements of romantic comedy with dysfunctional family drama, this lively, colorful film is occasionally too quirky for its own good, but it is always entertaining. Director Jennifer Devoldère deftly handles the transition from broad comedic material to the more dramatic moments that come later, and Laurent continues to prove that she deserves to be a huge star. (In French with English subtitles; screens Saturday, April 20, Dryden 6:30 p.m.)
“A Lot Like You” Filmmaker Eliaichi Kimaro’s intensely personal documentary grew from a desire to explore her roots. Born to a Tanzanian father and Korean mother, but raised in America, Elaichi felt trapped between cultures, truly belonging to none. In an attempt to connect with and understand her heritage, she decided to travel with her parents to visit her father’s tribe in the Mt. Kilimanjaro region of Africa. She hoped to gather enough material to make a film out of her experiences. Her film didn’t turn out exactly that way she’d envisioned. When she arrives in Tanzania, she finds herself kept at a distance by her father’s family, until one day when she approaches her aunts to talk about their lives, and they open up to her in a way that they never had with anyone before. They speak of a culture’s subjugation of women, of female circumcision and forced marriages. Kimaro’s sudden connection to the women is deepened by her own background of abuse. A powerful and thought-provoking film exploration of identity and conflicts of culture, her film emerges as one of the highlights of this year’s festival. (Screens Saturday, April 20, Little 1, 9:30 p.m.)

Penthouse Living on the Avenue 901 East Avenue, #D An opportunity so rare: virtual carefree living in a beautifully restored Tudor Revival style estate on East Avenue, directly across from the iconic George Eastman House. This sophisticated condo features all the original craftsmanship of a bygone era, meticulously updated for today’s urban dweller. The estate is steeped in history. The home was built in 1891 for banker and real estate speculator, Henry C. Brewster, and designed by James G. Cutler, a regional architect who became, almost by accident, most famous for his design of the Cutler Mail Chute. At nearly 6,000 grand square feet, the home was sensitively divided a handful of years ago into four condominiums. The penthouse condo comes in at just under 2,000 handsome square feet. The shared grand entrance and stair hall, at once intimate and grand, with beamed ceilings and paneled walls, leads to the private entrance of your very own East Avenue penthouse. The space is ideal for the owner who enjoys entertaining. The main room features an open living and dining area, with ceilings that soar nearly twelve feet in height. On one end is a gracious sitting area with decorative fireplace and overhead transom windows, allowing in the morning sun. Opposite the sitting area is an open and bright dining space, with ample room for a large dining table, side table and chairs. Adjacent to this is a gourmet kitchen, complete with breakfast bar, chef-inspired stainless steel appliances and ample counter space. The kitchen is
roomy enough for an additional breakfast table or prep-island! On both ends of the main room are the sleeping areas. Facing east is the master suite, with in-unit washer and dryer and a closet that will ensure one will never feel the need to curtail online shopping. Tucked off the large bedroom is the opulent bath, featuring a soaking tub, shower and bidet! On the west end of the home is the guest suite, additional storage, office nook, second bathroom and a warm sitting area. Owners of condos often struggle with lack of storage. 901 East Avenue breaks any assumption. With ample storage in-unit, the owner also has access to storage on the basement level of the home. The unit features a private parking garage and additional guest spot. Built for style and elegance, this gracefully updated gem is within walking distance to Park and East Avenue amenities and affords an elegant experience living in the heart of East Avenue’s Cultural District. Christopher Carretta with Hunt Real Estate ERA/Columbus is representing the home, currently priced at $289,900.

the plaintiff’s records, and the records of the original forum. 3. This is an action to convert a judgment entered in favor of the plaintiff, Linda J. Stewart, against defendant James F. Stewart, Jr., on October 2, 2012 in the Circuit Court of the Eighth Judicial Circuit of Illinois, Adams County, the Honorable Scott E. Walden presiding, into a New York State judgment. 4, Attached as Exhibit A is a court authenticated and exemplified copy of the Illinois default judgment. It bears the stamp “Filed October 2, 2012.” The inside of the cover bears a certification from Lori R. Geschwandner, the Clerk of the Circuit Court, that she has compared the default judgment attached as Exhibit A with the original judgment on file and that it is a true copy. 5. The cover backing also contains the certification by the Honorable Scott H. Walden, a Judge of the Court, who granted the default judgment against defendant James F. Stewart, Jr., on October 2, 2012, that Lori R. Geschwandner’s signature in her certificate is true and genuine, and that on the date of her certificate, February 4, 2013, she was the duly elected Clerk of the Court, and that full faith and credit are due to all her official acts. 6. Finally, the cover backing contains a certificate by Lori R. Geschwandner that Scott H. Walden’s signature is true and genuine, and that at the time of his signing, February 4, 2013, he was a duly qualified and acting Judge of the Circuit Court of the Eighth Judicial Circuit of Illinois in and for Adams County, and that full faith and credit are due his acts. 7. As a judgment of a sister state, it is entitled by the United States Constitution to full faith and credit by New York State. Since it was obtained by default in appearance by defendant James F. Stewart, Jr., however, the summary enforcement filing procedure of CPLR Article 54 cannot be used. Accordingly, the procedures of CPLR Section 3213, motion for Summary Judgment in Lieu of Complaint, are being used. The default judgment is unsatisfied in whole, the amount
of $652,133.45 plus interest from October 2, 2012 remains unpaid, and enforcement of the judgment has not been stayed. 8. The judgment debtor is James F. Stewart, Jr., and his last known address is 95 Sandcastle Drive, Rochester, New York14622. WHEREFORE, deponent requests that summary judgment be granted: 1. Making the State of Illinois judgment into a New York State judgment entitled to all enforcement procedures as a judgment of the Supreme Court of the State of New York. 2. Allowing the entry of judgment against defendant James F. Stewart, Jr., in the amount of $652,133.45, plus Illinois expenses and court costs in the amount of $574.40, plus interest from October 2, 2012, together with the New York costs and disbursements of this action.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD Undocumented immigrant Jose Munoz, 25, believed himself an ideal candidate for President Obama’s 2012 safe-harbor initiative for illegal-entry children, in that he had been brought to the U.S. by his undocumented parents before age 16, had no criminal record and had graduated from high school (with honors, even). Since then, however, he had remained at home in Sheboygan, Wis., assisting his family, doing odd jobs and, admittedly, just playing video games and “vegging.” Living “in the shadows,” he found it almost impossible to prove the final legal criterion: that he had lived continuously in the U.S. since graduation (using government records, payroll sheets, utility bills, etc.). After initial failures to convince immigration officials, reported the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in March, Munoz’s lawyer succeeded -- by submitting Munoz’s Xbox Live records, documenting that his computer’s Wisconsin location had been accessing video games, day after day, for years.
Government in Action!
— Among the lingering costs of U.S. wars are disability payments and compensation to veterans’ families, which can continue decades after hostilities end. An Associated Press analysis of federal payment records, released in March, even found two current recipients of Civil War benefits. Vietnam war payments are still about $22 billion a year, World War II, $5 billion, World War I, $20 million, and the 1898 Spanish-American war, about $1,700. — Each year, Oklahoma is among the states to receive $150,000 federal grants to operate small, isolated airfields (for Oklahoma, one in the southern part
of the state is so seldom used that it is primarily a restroom stop for passing pilots). The payments are from a 13year- old congressional fund for about 80 similar airfields (no traffic, no planes kept on site), described by a February Washington Post investigation as “ATM(s) shaped like (airports).” Congress no longer even requires that the annual grants be spent on the actual airports drawing the grants. — During the massive February Southern California manhunt for former Los Angeles cop Christopher Dorner, nervous-triggered LAPD officers riddled an SUV with bullets after mistakenly believing Dorner was inside. Instead there were two women, on their early-morning job as newspaper carriers, and LAPD Chief Charlie Beck famously promised them a new truck and arranged with a local dealership for a 2013 Ford F-150 ($32,560). However, the deal fell through in March when the women discovered that Beck’s “free” truck was hardly free. Rather, it would be taxable as a “donation,” reported on IRS Form 1099, perhaps costing them thousands of dollars.
Perspective
Some Third-Worlders eat dirt because they are mentally ill or have no meaningful food. However, diners at Tokyo’s upscale Ne Quittez Pas eat it because it is a trendy dish prepared by prominent chef Toshio Tanabe. Among his courses are soil soup served with a flake of dirty truffle, soil sorbet and the “soil surprise” (a dirt-covered potato ball). (Spoiler alert: It has a truffle center.) Tanabe lightly precooks his dirt and runs it through a sieve to eliminate the crunchiness.
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 38 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll have a hard time making up your mind when it comes to commitment. You’ll make someone angry if you flirt and run. Perhaps your uncertainty has more to do with not meeting the right partner. Make a list of relationship must-haves, and don’t settle for less. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Express your thoughts, socialize and don’t be afraid to make the first move. Showing a little aggression will appeal to someone looking for the same type of commitment as you. Share your intentions, dreams and plans. Love is in the stars, and commu-
nication will seal the deal. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Flirt, have fun and enjoy partners who are looking for a good time. Before you know it, you will be heading in the same direction as one of your playmates to a serious relationship that allows you both the freedom to explore and experiment as a couple. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Regroup and rethink your current situation. No relationship is perfect, but being with someone who is unpredictable or untrustworthy will lead to a stressful, unhappy situation. Time is on your side, so slow down and enjoy activities that
make you happy, and the right one will come along. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll attract a lot of interest with your witty conversation and adventurous appeal, but you must watch out for the chameleons in your audience who are willing to ride on your coattails. Don’t settle for a yesperson when what you really need is an equal. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Say what you mean and mean what you say, and you will attract someone who is on the same page as you regarding commitment and life goals. Don’t be shy — if you see someone you want to get to know better,
initiate the connection. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Uncertainty must not be allowed to surface. Talk to a trusted friend regarding any partner you think may fit into your lifestyle. Getting a second opinion will ease your mind. Being wishy-washy isn’t a trait to display if you are looking for equality in a relationship. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You will know instantly when you meet the right partner. Take it upon yourself to charm, persuade and masterfully entice the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. Don’t hesitate to move quickly. A commitment is encouraged.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You just want to have fun. Explore and set sail on a romantic adventure. Choose a partner looking for the same kind of free-spirited connection that you have to offer. The person who fits your lifestyle will be the one to commit to. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t expect smooth sailing when it comes to love. The person you connect with will probably not be welcome by your friends and family. Listen to advice being offered, and if you don’t feel the complaints are legitimate, move forward with the one
who has captured your heart. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Reuniting with someone from your past may appear to be a safe bet, but take it nice and slow and give the relationship a chance to develop as a friendship first. Take it to the next level only if you have both matured enough to make it work. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Affection will pave the way to a stable and secure relationship. Trust and commitment are apparent; however, don’t be afraid to negotiate the ins and outs of what’s important to you. The couple that shares is the one that can go the distance.
