Magnum opus: photogs shoot Rochester It’s not often that a city gets the opportunity to take a good, focused look at itself. It’s rarer still when that chance is provided by individuals who excel at providing deep, steady looks at the state of human life. For almost two weeks now, 10 photographers from the New York-based Magnum agency have lived and worked alongside us, documenting daily life and fascinating nuance, and offering opportunities for the public to participate in an archive project called “House of Pictures.” On Saturday, April 28, these photographers will present their fragmented views of our city in a pop-up exhibition of the same name.

The Magnum agency is an international photojournalist collective founded in 1947; it is owned and cooperatively managed by its more than 80 photographer-members. The individuals participating in “House of Pictures” are Americans Jim Goldberg, Susan Meiselas, Alec Soth, Bruce Gilden, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Larry Towell, and Alex Webb; Italian Paolo Pellegrin; Brit Martin Parr; and Donovan Wylie from Ireland. The project will include a documentary filmed

by Taiwanese Magnum member Chien-Chi Chang.

We need leaders to address climate change

Jeremy Moule gets at the complex ecological relationships in our area that will be disturbed by warming, throwing plants and animals that depend on each other out of sync (“Climate Change”: Upsetting the Balance,” April 18).

What I find most disturbing this election year is failure of the media to grill our elected officials on climate change. The kind of actions that will be needed to adapt to and mitigate this warming will not be bottom-up, or small changes that won’t inconvenience anyone.

The kind of actions that will be needed to protect the public during heat waves, where our electrical grid will be severely challenged by everyone turning on the AC’s at the same time, will be (as the NYSERDA “ClimAID” reports suggests) expensive and wide-spread, and will require long-term planning.

This will take political leadership from leaders who recognize the depth of the problem and aren’t afraid to address climate change despite how politically “toxic” it is.

Honor home of Douglass’s wife

“Rochester has a rich vein of African-American history as the one-time home of abolitionist Frederick Douglass” (“Landmark Society to Mine Rochester’s Black History,” April 18).

Given Frederick Douglass’s overwhelming dominance of the Rochester African-American heritage scene, I would hope and expect that Mr. Goodman’s landmarks task force will expand its area of concentration outside of the Rochester city limits to include the designation of the home in Honeoye of Helen Pitts Douglass, Douglass’s second wife, as a site integral to his life story.

This home, which is usually misidentified as the “Pitts Mansion” on Main Street, is fully deserving of recognition because it is a site strongly linked to the maintenance of Douglass’s legacy as a champion of freedom. It is not only the home of the woman he married in the City

APRIL 25 - MAY 1, 2012

face of interracial biases and scorn, but is the last remaining link to the woman who, following his death, worked for years against the apathy of Douglass’s children to protect and preserve his home at Cedar Hill in Washington as well as his effects and papers, without which our knowledge of Douglass’s works and writings would be far less comprehensive then they are.

Certainly the Pitts home is infinitely more relevant to both the black and white communities than a building in Rochester which Douglass simply owned but, as far as I know, never occupied. For, as Mr. Goodman has correctly stated, preservation must serve the entire community and not just certain segments.

Meeting the candidates for superintendent

The tantrum last night made me embarrassed as a parent and is helping to further the stereotype of dysfunctional black parents in the city (“Activists Disrupt Superintendent Search Forum,” April 18). I would not allow that type of bullying behavior from my two nephews, and I didn’t expect to see it from grown adults at an informational meeting.

MARCUS JACKSON

Rochestercitynewspaper.com When you listen to both candidates, Andre Spencer is clearly the better choice. When you look at the accomplishments and qualifications, you wonder why Bolgen Vargas is even in the room. While the political infighting goes on, the RCSD youth continue to fail.

That failure touches ALL cultures. It takes leadership to motivate the students, to assure that they attend, to involve the parent(s) in their education, to give teachers the opportunity to succeed, to make sure that when students graduate they have received a quality education, education that will allow them to find meaningful employment and or an opportunity to further their education.

When you sincerely focus on that mission, there is no room for politics.

Select the best candidate, which is clearly Andre Spencer, period.

JOSH J. PORTE

Rochestercitynewspaper.com I am not certain that all of the activists’ concerns are valid. But I am not convinced that City Newspaper’s concerns are valid, either. Our community’s extreme apathy is threatening not only our democracy,

but the future of all of our children.

Unfortunately, too many people don’t even care anymore. So when I see activists rally loudly for more transparency and more community involvement, I say, “Bravo!” We need a lot more of both.

Let’s take our time with this important decision and see if we can get it right for a change. (And City Newspaper: next time you lament about low voter turnout, stop to consider how you may contribute to that through your quite selective appreciation of activism.)

LARRY CHAMPOUX

Rochestercitynewspaper.com Bolgen Vargas is a good man and has done a good job to date. However, if it is true that he is controlled by Adam Urbanski and RTA, then we are in trouble. We’ve been in trouble since RTA received a 40 percent pay increase over 25 years ago. That money was supposed to be tied to accountability. Never happened, and RTA has run amuck.

RUKOSINI

Rochestercitynewspaper.com I concur with the criticism regarding allowing Mr. Vargas to apply for school superintendent. It should not go unnoticed that his praises have been sung by Adam Urbanski, the teachers’ union chief. It seems pretty obvious that Mr. Vargas would be a shadow superintendent and that the real superintendent would be Mr. Urbanski. The latter’s conflicts with previous superintendents seem to be the result of their standing up to him and not allowing him to run the school system.

Mr. Spencer, the other finalist, appears to be well qualified to become superintendent. As a new broom, Mr. Spencer would be able to sweep clean the entrenched interests in the administration and to stand up to Mr. Urbanski.

JAMES R. BOEHLER, ROCHESTER

One thing we all can agree on is that what we have doesn’t work.

This board can’t even be honest with their process. We need to either go with the parent trigger law or follow Mr. Gantt with mayoral control. I think parent trigger can get parents involved, and mayoral control can get the people involved.

If they wanted open transparency, they should not have allowed Dr. Vargas to apply for the permanent position. Mr. Spencer sounded great, and after hearing him and Vargas, Mr. Spencer sounds like the better candidate.

Jim Alesi’s stand, tainted This year’s election campaign is going to be a heck of a thing to watch, right down to the local level.

In the Rochester region, much of the attention will be on the race between Louise Slaughter and Maggie Brooks for Slaughter’s seat in Congress. But before we get to that election, there could be some Republican primary drama in a state Senate race.

Eight-term State Senator Jim Alesi is seeking re-election. Once a popular Republican legislator who secured lots of money for such causes as the Jazz Festival, Alesi has lost the support of some of his party’s leaders, and he’s expected to face a primary this fall.

The reason, party leaders say: the bizarre suit Alesi filed after he entered a house he thought was for sale, fell, and broke his leg. Rather than being grateful that the homeowners didn’t go after him for trespassing, he sued them.

It was a truly stupid move, and I take Republican leaders at their word that this is why they’re upset with him. Still, this race had the potential to be about something significant. Conservatives are furious with Alesi because he was a crucial “yes” vote on gay marriage. It would have been good to have a showdown over that issue in that district.

And it would have been good to have a showdown over that issue in the Monroe County Republican Party, whose leadership has grown more conservative and more parochial.

Maybe Alesi will prevail anyway. Maybe enough Republicans are sufficiently grateful for his gay-marriage vote to give him a pass on the suit. It’s questionable, though. And it’s too bad. Alesi’s poor judgment affected more than his own future in Albany.

On another election note: For the past few months, much of the national political news has focused on the Republican candidates. With Mitt Romney’s nomination pretty much locked in, there’ll be more scrutiny of Barack Obama’s record.

And a good place to start – for Obama supporters and opponents alike – is the March issue of The Atlantic, where James Fallows assesses Obama’s first term.

Fallows interviewed White House insiders, politicians, and former politicians, and Obama supporters won’t find a lot of comfort in the early part of the article.

Temperamentally, Fallows says, the presidency isn’t a good fit for Obama. His “coolness” is a problem. Another serious handicap: Obama’s lack of experience when he took office.

Conservatives are furious about Alesi’s vote on gay marriage.

It would have been good to have a showdown over that issue.

That deficit left Obama heavily dependent on the people he chose as advisors. And many of them were old Clinton hands whose experience – especially in the case of the financial crisis – wasn’t relevant. Equally problematic: they were way too close to Wall Street to be tough on the folks who caused the problem.

Particularly troubling to me is Fallows’ charge that Obama hasn’t seemed to recognize his staff’s shortcomings. He has stuck by people with whom he feels “comfortable.”

That’s a grim assessment. But Fallows also emphasizes Obama’s accomplishments, which, he notes, are numerous, particularly in international affairs. I haven’t liked all of Obama’s foreign policy, but there’s no question that his approach is much better, for the United States and for the world, than his predecessor’s. And it’s much better than Romney’s.

To me, Obama’s strengths outweigh his weaknesses, by a good margin. And to me, he’s an easy choice in this year’s election.

But he has a tough campaign ahead of him.

In order to govern, in order to get anything done, he has had to make compromises.

And that has clearly dimmed the luster that excited many Democrats and independents four years ago.

Obama has to find a way to reignite that enthusiasm, or he’ll be in trouble in November. He has the rhetorical skills to do that, but voters will now weigh his rhetoric against their disappointment in his results.

Maybe, then, we need to remember one lesson from the Fallows article: “Not even FDR was FDR at the start.”

[ news from the week past ]

Affordable housing added to College Town

City Council was expected to approve Tuesday night a $20-million federal loan for the Mt. Hope College Town project. The loan faced opposition from Council President Lovely Warren, who wanted College Town to have affordable housing.

The developer agreed to make at least 10 of the 150 planned residential units affordable, and Warren threw her support behind the project.

Lots of Land Trust action

The Genesee Land Trust was awarded two open space preservation grants from the state. The Land Trust will receive $35,000 to help raise funds to preserve the 627-acre Alasa Farms, and $15,000 to fund a nature stewardship program for El Camino Trail and Conkey Corner Park. The Land Trust also received an $180,000 gift toward the Christine Sevilla Wetlands Preserve in Caledonia. Sevilla, a well-known local artist and environmentalist, was killed in 2009 by her husband, Timothy Wells.

The gift is from the Sevilla and Wells families.

Red light cameras ca-ching

News

City revenue from redlight cameras has greatly exceeded projections.

The city has earned $950,000 so far in 2011-2012, but that’s before the city pays Redflex, the company that leases and operates the cameras. And not all of the money has been collected. The city expanded the camera program faster than expected, which may explain the extra revenue. There are currently 41 cameras at nearly 30 intersections.

Dems still face roadblocks

Republicans on a Monroe County Legislature committee rejected a proposal that would have given Democrats a better chance at getting some of their ideas through.

The proposal would have guaranteed that every legislator has at least one piece of legislation voted on by the full Legislature every two years. As it stands, Democratic proposals almost always die in committee. The proposal was modeled after similar legislation introduced in the State Assembly by Webster Republican Mark Johns.

PRESERVATION | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Landmark Society to mine Rochester’s black history Two months before he, too, was gunned down, Bobby Kennedy broke the news of Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination to a disbelieving crowd in Indianapolis’s inner city. It was April 4, 1968, and Kennedy’s improvised speech is considered a highlight in the history of American oratory.

The corner where Kennedy spoke is marked with an interpretative plaque, and serves as a “generational rite of passage” for Indiana’s African-American community, says Wayne Goodman, executive director of the Landmark Society of Western New York.

“They take their children there, and they explain what happened at that site, and it becomes a connecting

thread throughout the community,” Goodman says.

Goodman is former director of the eastern regional office for the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana.

The moral of the story, he says, is that landmarks aren’t always grand East Avenue mansions —although those are obviously significant. Preservation must serve the entire community, Goodman says, and not just certain segments.

Goodman is planning to form an African-American landmarks task force this year to identify structures and locations of significance to the black community. That will involve reaching out to neighborhood associations that serve that community, Goodman says.

Rochester has a rich vein of African-American history as the onetime home of abolitionist Frederick Douglass. Rochester also played a key role in the Underground Railroad.

Identifying landmarks creates community pride, Goodman says, and encourages investment. It also helps protect and preserve those sites.

“I think it reinforces preservation’s role in stabilizing and improving communities and cities,” he says.

“These are potentially structures that are anchors for those neighborhoods and that could help in the revitalization of those neighborhoods.”

Goodman says he doesn’t yet know who will be on the task force.

While Bolgen Vargas has earned many admirers, he has also been the subject of controversy. Some critics question his qualifications, since he has no classroom teaching experience. And Vargas has not managed a budget on the scale of the Rochester school district’s $700-million operation.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

4,485 US servicemen and servicewomen, 318 Coalition servicemen and servicewomen, and approximately 106,342 to 116,170 Iraqi civilians have been killed in Iraq from the beginning of the war and occupation to April 23.

No American casualties were reported after November 14.

IRAQ TOTALS —

AFGHANISTAN TOTALS —

Vargas chosen, but what’s his vision?

Bolgen Vargas has won many admirers since becoming interim superintendent of the Rochester school district. But he has also been the subject of controversy. Some critics question his qualifications, since he has no classroom teaching experience.

And Vargas has not managed a budget on the scale of the Rochester school district’s $700-million operation.

“The board would never have hired him to be the interim superintendent if we didn’t think he was qualified and capable of doing this job,” says school board President Evans, in response.

After a lengthy and much-debated search, the school board has decided to make Vargas the permanent superintendent. Evans says he has more than the required four votes. The board plans to vote on Thursday to enter into contract negotiations with Vargas.

Vargas was selected to temporarily lead the district about a year ago following the sudden departure of Jean-Claude Brizard. Since then, Vargas has negotiated a new contract with the Rochester Teachers Association, and reached agreement with the union on a new teacher evaluation process.

Vargas has also distanced himself from some of the more controversial decisions made by his predecessor. For example, he

Cost of War

rehired many of the teachers cut as a result of last year’s budget deliberations. The decision almost immediately endeared Vargas to many of the district’s teachers. And many teachers and others opposed most of Brizard’s plans for reforming city schools.

In a recent interview, Vargas cited proper allocation of resources and improving student reading proficiency as the school district’s two biggest challenges. If a third-grade child is not reading at grade level, that child has a 74 percent chance of falling behind, he said.

Still, it’s been difficult to ascertain Vargas’s vision for the district. He has been emphatic about improving student attendance. And he has pushed the board to open an alternative school, mainly for students in schools that are being phased out, but also for students who are falling behind or may be on the verge of dropping out. The board approved a scaleddown version of Vargas’s plan.

But some parents and education activist groups have complained bitterly about the search. Many believe that the fix was in for Vargas all along. The board’s reversal of its original position to not consider the interim for the permanent job has fueled that suspicion.

Evans dismisses the critics’ charges.

He says the search was rigorous, fair, and open. A committee of parents, teachers,

and business and city leaders participated in the search, and the board also hired a professional headhunter.

Vargas was one of two finalists. The other was Houston schools administrator Andre Spencer.

Vargas, 49, has roots in the Rochester area.

Before becoming interim superintendent, he was a counselor with the Greece school district for about 20 years. He served on the Rochester school board from 1996 to 2003.

Vargas earned a master’s degree in school counseling from SUNY Brockport, and a doctorate in education and organizational leadership from the University of Pennsylvania.

1,943 US servicemen and servicewomen and 1,026 Coalition servicemen and servicewomen have been killed in Afghanistan from the beginning of the war and occupation to April 23.

ENVIRONMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

New focus on an old legal doctrine James Olson is something of a hero to many people involved in protecting and preserving the Great Lakes or other water bodies.

Olson was the attorney who took Nestle to court to challenge the company’s ability to bottle and sell Michigan ground water. The citizens group that Olson represented was concerned that Nestle was taking too much water out of the ground, harming aquifers and water bodies.

The case ultimately led the United States and Canada to develop and approve the Great Lakes Compact, where states and provinces along the lakes must set strict limits on water withdrawals from the Great Lakes basin. Most Great Lakes states are drafting regulations or laws to establish those limits.

Olson is one of several environmental figures pushing for states to write what’s known as the “public trust doctrine” into those regulations or laws. The doctrine would prevent companies or other countries from buying land in the Great Lakes basin just to export the water beneath it, Olson says.

Olson was the main speaker last week for the Rochester Sierra Club’s annual environmental forum. He talked about the public trust doctrine as it applies to navigable and public waters. He says the doctrine, which is rooted in the Roman Empire and English common law, hinges on a couple of principles: that governments should protect water bodies from harm or impairment, and that the water or rights to it should not be transferred to private parties for private purposes.

“Those are two pretty fundamental principles that, if respected, would preserve at least the essence of the waters of New York and other states — including Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, and the St. Lawrence – through this entire coming century,” Olson says.

The public trust doctrine is a timely topic for New York. Water is a factor in several statewide issues, such as the potential for high-volume hydraulic fracturing, and efforts to develop a new plan for adjusting Lake Ontario levels.

Fracking a deep horizontal well consumes millions of gallons of water. And since the water that comes back out of the wells – not all of it does – is heavily contaminated, it can’t easily be returned to its original watershed.

Environmentalists say that frequent largescale withdrawals could deplete some water sources. And fracking critics worry that the process could pollute water supplies.

The state is reviewing the environmental implications of high-volume hydrofracking and has issued proposed regulations. While officials finish up that process, there’s a de facto moratorium on high-volume hydraulic fracturing in deep shale formations.

The public trust doctrine will also be a factor in the International Joint Commission’s plan governing Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence Seaway water levels. The commission is developing a new plan that will attempt to balance factors including the environment, waterfront property protection, recreational boating, and commercial shipping.

New York’s efforts to protect its public waters, including the Genesee River (pictured), are rooted in the principles of a legal concept known as the public trust doctrine. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

The public trust doctrine can, however, be used to justify some uses of public water bodies. In May 2010, University at Buffalo Law School’s Environment and Development Clinic released a paper addressing the doctrine and offshore wind in the Great Lakes.

The paper says that the doctrine is about protecting public resources against “self-serving interests.” In this case, the leasing of land under the water may be of public benefit because of wind power’s environmental, public health, and economic benefits.

In other words, the turbines won’t just make a profit for one company. They’ll also provide cleaner electricity to the public.

The paper’s author doesn’t take a firm position on whether offshore wind is consistent with the public trust doctrine.

But there are steps that state governments or governmental partnerships can take to ensure projects are in line with the doctrine, the paper says. Developing permits with detailed conditions, and leasing — not selling — the underwater land are some of the recommended approaches.

Everyone at last Thursday’s meeting agreed that there is lack of awareness in the community about who needs a license.

Churches were specifically mentioned.

Church officials sometimes think that because they hold their own performances that it’s OK to lease out the space to performance groups and others. But that’s not true.

“The church does not have the right to lease to whomever they want,” said Marsha Barry, director of planning and zoning for the city.

The city is also trying to be more proactive in making sure that people are aware of all the steps they need to take to legally operate.

Barry said she fully supports overhauling the licensing process, but warned that there would be pushback from people in the

neighborhoods. City residents who live in areas with a vibrant nightlife — like the Monroe Avenue area, for example — could see the overhaul as a loosening of restrictions and a threat to their quality of life, she said.

“I’m just trying to prepare you that this will not be the easiest thing to get through,” Barry said.

Last Thursday’s meeting was an early conversation in a longer process to address entertainment licensing, said City Clerk Dan Karin.

CITY HALL | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Rochester plans overhaul of entertainment licensing One man’s campaign to call attention to what he says is the City of Rochester’s inconsistent and unfair system of entertainment licensing has caught the interest of City Hall. Officials from planning and zoning, City Council, and the legal department met on Thursday, April 19, to discuss an overhaul of the way the city issues the licenses.

J.R. Teeter, artistic director of Rochester’s Bread & Water Theatre, launched his campaign after being notified months ago that his group would have to pay $475 for an entertainment license to continue performing at New Life Presbyterian Church. Teeter said that Bread & Water has held its shows at New Life for several years and was never told it needed a license.

City

APRIL 25 - MAY 1, 2012

The $475 license fee would put his small group in jeopardy, Teeter said. And many theater groups perform in churches, he said, and the churches depend on the extra income from renting out their space.

Bread & Water has not paid the license fee.

City officials at Thursday’s meeting discussed a new, tiered licensing system that could be based, for example, on whether or not alcohol is served. Currently the fee is based on square footage, and that doesn’t always make sense, said City Council member Adam McFadden, because profitability varies depending on the type of business.

Officials also discussed finding ways to streamline the licensing process.

There are four Saturday dates and locations: April 28, at 41 Backus Street in Edgerton Park; May 5, at 131 Elmwood Avenue in Genesee Valley Park; May 12, at Cobbs Hill Park; and May 19, at 500 Norton Street at the Northeast Neighborhood Service Center. All events are from 8:30 a.m. to noon. Registration: www.cityofrochester.gov/cleansweep.

State of the City address

Rochester Mayor Tom Richards will give the 2012 State of the City address at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 30, in the auditorium of the National Museum of Play, 1 Manhattan Square.

Dining hots, chicken wings, and Heavenly Melts’ crunchy, addictive fried pickles ($2). Dyer also plans to offer soft-serve ice cream very soon, and not just because well-trained Rochesterians have walked up to the window of this former Abbott’s Frozen Custard location and tried ordering it.

Heavenly Melts is located at 630 W. Ridge Road. Prices range from $2.95 to $8.95. It is open Monday-Saturday 11 a.m.-8 p.m. For more information, call 865-MELT or visit heavenlymelt.com.

It was kind of a mess; I’m not gonna lie. But as we sat outside the new take-out spot Heavenly Melts, my contented little sister quickly came to terms with the momentary chaos attendant to chowing down on The Roc ($7.95), which takes the traditional components of a Plate — think Zweigle’s white hot, waffle fries, mac salad, onions, mustard, and hot sauce — and fuses them between two fat, crisp slices of Texas toast with gooey American cheese. I couldn’t help but try to claim the delicious fallout even though I had my own hands literally full with The Harvest ($5.95), made up of juicy pear and smoky bacon, tangy cheddar and creamy mascarpone, all tucked into buttery grilled honey-apple bread.

“I was looking for something that wasn’t done in Rochester,” Heavenly Melts owner Theresa Dyer says of her desire to get involved in the local food scene after establishing the successful smoking lounge Look Ah Hookah,

and she settled upon a classic comfort food: grilled cheese sandwiches. “It’s a simple meal, satisfying but not overly filling. And we can do a lot of fun things with them.” A dish served at holiday gatherings, for example, inspired The Broccoli Pretzel ($5.95), a grilled pretzel roll filled with ground Italian sausage and broccoli crowns sautéed in garlic butter and topped with provolone. Purists, of course, can have their basic grilled cheese ($3.95) — creamy tomato soup optional ($3.50) — or they can amp it up with the Totally Cheezy ($6.95), featuring four varieties of cheese: gouda, havarti, fontina, and sharp white cheddar.

The menu is designed to appeal across dietary lines, with selections running the gamut from a hearty ribeye steak and mozzarella ($7.95) to the veggie-centric Popeye ($6.95), filled with fresh spinach, sweet bell peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, gouda, and asiago. Not feeling terribly cheesy? Salads and other sides are available, along with burgers,

I offer my humble and heartfelt apologies to current Vic & Irv’s owner Kevin Klee for an item in the April 11 Chow Hound that incorrectly reported the closing of the Seabreeze mainstay.

Though Vic & Irv’s is in fact in the midst of a pending sale, it is now open for the season under new management. Happily, however, everything else remains the same at this beloved Rochester institution, from the killer onion rings, to the yummy fried bologna sandwiches, to the frosty chocolate malts that just scream summer in Seabreeze. Or, as Klee puts it: “If it ain’t broke, why fix it?” Here’s hoping that Vic & Irv’s, the anchor of Hot Dog Row since 1934, is around for another 80 years.

Vic & Irv’s is located at 4880 Culver Road. It opens every day at 11 a.m. For more information, call 544-7680 or visit vicandirvrefreshments.com.

International photo collective chronicles Rochester in the shadow of Kodak It’s not often that a city gets the opportunity to take a good, focused look at itself. It’s rarer still when that chance is provided by individuals who excel at providing deep, steady looks at the state of human life. For almost two weeks now, 10 photographers from the New York-based Magnum agency have lived and worked alongside us, documenting daily life and fascinating nuance, and offering opportunities for the public to participate in an archive project called “House of Pictures.” On Saturday, April 28, these photographers will present their fragmented views of our city in a pop-up exhibition of the same name.

The Magnum agency is an international photojournalist collective founded in 1947; it is owned and cooperatively managed by its more than 80 photographer-members.

The individuals participating in “House of Pictures” are Americans Jim Goldberg, Susan Meiselas, Alec Soth, Bruce Gilden, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Larry Towell, and Alex Webb; Italian Paolo Pellegrin; Brit Martin Parr; and Donovan Wylie from Ireland. The project will include a documentary filmed by Taiwanese Magnum member Chien-Chi Chang.

“House of Pictures” builds on a 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 Rochester, selected for its significance as the home of Kodak, and because of its current pivotal state of grappling with the uncertain futures of Kodak and other flailing local industrial titans.

Rochester was also chosen in part “because we knew there were all these photographic establishments here that could help us,” says Martin Parr. “And it’s a big enough city where there’s enough scope to find things, for everyone to do stuff. So it just fell into place like that. I can’t remember who suggested it, precisely, but I think we all agreed it would make a lot of sense.”

From an agency full of photographers with highly disparate interests, 10 set out to create a living document of Rochester in the shadow of Kodak. This focus is not a new one, it has 10 City APRIL 25 - MAY 1, 2012

been done; local artists and regional individuals have stood in respectful awe of the giant’s decline, photographed our post-industrial vistas, and sought to pay homage to the hometown of photography.

The difference this time is not only the level of prestige commanded by the name Magnum, but also the focused way in which supporting institutions, students, and members of the public are looking at the city through the project.

Perhaps studying these outside perspectives will spark a change within us, and the way we think about this place we call home.

“The legacy of Kodak is everywhere. It’s hidden,

but if you look for it, you realize that it permeates everything,” says photographer Susan Meiselas as recorded by the project scribe, Magnum’s Gideon Jacobs, on the project’s Tumblr site (you can find the photo blog at postcardsfromamerica.tumblr.com).

“All the photographers agreed,” says Jacobs, “the challenge would be how to visualize it.” Discussions continued among the photographers about how to capture the end of an industry, and also the human element of transitioning effectively to an unknown future.

A later post states that “the question in the background as Kodak’s Rochester presence tumbled from over 60,000 employees to below 7,500 is, ‘Why didn’t they adapt?’ It’s a tough question with a bunch of multifaceted answers, and it got Martin Parr thinking about other companies and brands that have been reluctant to abandon their bread and butter products.

With that in mind, Martin started shooting outside a Blockbuster video store.”

“House of Pictures” refers to the George Eastman House, to Rochester as the home of Kodak, and initially was meant to literally refer to an idea for the project’s end point: an abandoned house that would serve as a

pop-up venue to showcase the work from this endeavor. However, that idea was dashed as complications arose ranging from asbestos and parking, and the team settled on a warehouse space near the Public Market for the one-day show on April 28.

Visual Studies Workshop has served 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, printed courtesy of Booksmart Studios. As of April 18, four days after the arrival of nine of the photographers, only prolific shooter Martin Parr had posted his images to the viewing boards — the shots included dancers and various colorful portraits of Rochesterians — but others had shared images on the project’s Tumblr site, where posting traffic continues to increase.

As with the earlier “Postcards from America” project, the Magnum photographers decided to rely on locals to assist them in finding spots to shoot. But this time, the unique opportunity to work with Magnum was awarded to about 50 photo students in area institutions including Rochester Institute of Technology, George Eastman House, and VSW, who have been assisting the

photographers in scouting locations and with production of the images. Teams of four to five students were assigned to a photographer.

They have found leads, processed and posted images, and will have the opportunity to show their own work in relation to this project in a student gallery at VSW. The core of the show will be made up of the

work of the 10 photographers, each of them looking at Rochester and its inhabitants through his or her own private paradigms.

Adding to the diversity of the show is the fact that the artists shoot in different formats.

“Alex Webb is bringing his last rolls of Kodachrome,” says Meiselas, “and it’s going to be processed as black and white, which is all it can be at this point.” Acting as mortar to Magnum’s bricks (or vice versa) are the stories gathered from Rochesterians, the experiences of students and the general public of participating in this examination of our area.

By way of introducing the photographers and their project to a wider Rochester audience, a panel discussion was held at RIT on Wednesday, April 18, that attracted hundreds of attendees. RIT professor Willie

Osterman, the RIT liaison for this project, introduced the group (with the exception of Alex Webb, who was delayed due to a family illness and was due to arrive and begin work the next day). Osterman also discussed the aim of the project, and some of the things the group had been up to so far.

The photographers then took turns describing, with the help of slide shows or videos, their individual projects from the past five years, which helped to contextualize what “House of Pictures” might look like through these individual lenses. Bruce Gilden captivated the audience with intriguingly vague stories surrounding his “Tough Guys” series, shot in Russia. Gilden earned enough respect from his legally complicated subjects to take some striking photos — and live to tell about it. The earnest Jim Goldberg presented some of his photo and mixed-media projects that bring overlooked individuals into the world’s view. Susan Meiselas followed up with a tragic visualization of what are arguably unnecessary high maternal mortality rates in India, and a call to action.

In contrast, Martin Parr followed with his mocking snapshots of the world’s uber-rich, revealing not only the expected over-thetop opulence, but a mischievous glance at the absurdities found among them. Paolo Pellegrin brought the audience back to earth with heartbreaking images from Afghanistan, Kosovo, Darfur, and elsewhere, depicting extreme suffering brought about at times by nature , but mostly by man.

Alessandra Sanguinetti’s slideshow revealed moments of precious familial discovery, while Alec Soth presented images from his “Broken Manual” and with dry wit described his temporary fixation on running away to a fantastical man-cave/treehouse combo.

Larry Towell’s slideshow of his images on the American occupation of Afghanistan was accompanied by his own musical composition, which laments the persistence of war through the ages. Donovan Wylie spoke about his documentation of the demolition of a Northern Ireland prison, which used to house paramilitaries, and the unexpected intrusion of Google Earth on his project.

On Thursday, April 19, I trekked around

downtown with Wylie, who walks like the devil is trailing him. Really, the photographer was chasing after the spare — yet ideal — cloud cover on the warm, sunny day, a strange sight for any Rochesterian accustomed to our gray skies. “It’s a really interesting city, architecturally, and that’s what I’m interested in,” Wylie says.

“I’m trying to find a way of looking at Rochester as an outsider, and really the best way to do that is looking at it surface-level. So looking at the buildings to me is a way of doing it. What’s interesting is, once you get decent views, you really see the layers of history here. And there’s all these contradictions within the architecture and there’s a lot of strips of time, layers of time, strata of time. It is a great city to photograph.”

Wylie had a few ideas about what he might shoot before he came to Rochester, “but nothing concrete,” he says. “I realized it’s probably better to come, experience it, and find a strategy when you get here. The idea of doing the rooftops happened very organically. There was a building I saw, an area in Midtown that I wanted to photograph, and the only way to do it was to go to a rooftop. We were very lucky and we got access to a rooftop. And actually the view didn’t work, but many other viewpoints were opened up, and at that point I realized, well, you know, this could be very interesting. One building lead to the next, and before you knew it, we had a potential way of working.”

By the fourth day of shooting, Wylie had been focusing on the whole center of the city, and thought he might move out and see the suburbs as well. But he found himself frustrated by several days of bright weather, which isn’t ideal for outdoor photography. So he spent the time choosing potential locations, assisted by his team member, Dan Varenka, a graduate student at VSW. This list included the top of the police station, two car parks, a building on Canal Street, the Times Union building, Clinton Square, a spot on Avenue D, and the Powers building, where the on-duty security guard was less accommodating than other locations Wylie had visited.

“I think the work I’m doing gives a foundation and context for the other photographers,” says Wylie, “because they’re working on very specific things from Rochester. But I think I’m laying a landscape down, so their work can be put in the context of a broader place. Because when you look at the work I do, it’s Rochester. That’s what it looks like. So it creates a platform, if you like, for the others.”

Rochesterians. I accompanied Parr on a trip to RIT, where he spent the day popping in and out of classes and going all over campus, taking in the diverse experiences of the student, faculty, and staff populations. “One of the things we’re doing is creating an archive of contemporary Rochester,” says Parr, whose focus is on taking portraits of people in different environments.

Parr had already shot jugglers at RIT, visited Lux, checked out the Antique Bottle Show at the Fair and Expo Center, and snapped the employee of the month at Ward’s Scientific, which supplies all manner of natural specimens to schools. That evening, Parr planned on visiting Midnight Tango to capture more dancing photos. “It’s a good activity,” Parr says. “It’s photogenic, it’s ubiquitous. What more do you want?”

Parr also visited the Jello-O Museum in Le Roy. Parr shot and then ate iconic Rochester dish the Garbage Plate, which did not thrill him, and visited House of Guitars, which did.

The music store “is the most phenomenal shop I’ve ever seen in America,” Parr says.

“I mean, that is an absolute living gem, isn’t it? Out of all the things I’ve seen, that is the most impressive. I think the whole set up is just incredible. No wonder people make pilgrimages to go there.”

Still, on this, his first visit to Rochester, Parr’s eye is critical. “It’s a city that once had a glorious past, which is all part of the Kodak decline. So you see a lot of wealthy houses around, a lot of them are still standing of course, a lot of them seem to be a bit weatherworn, right? But everything else is going on here, it’s not like everything has ground to a halt. Places like RIT are huge, very important for the economy of Rochester. But it feels a bit like a backwater, a charming backwater.”

Working with Parr has been “incredible,” says Denis Doorly, a sophomore in RIT’s Photojournalism program assigned to work with the photographer. Parr is approaching this project as the creation of an historical document, says Doorly. “I don’t know if everyone is taking that stance, but he’s really interested in trying to scout things that will not be here in a couple years,” he says. Hence photographing at RIT, or the dancers. There is an evidently deliberate, if not uniform, focus on transience in the people and themes Parr is shooting.

As the shooting takes place, the photographers

work with their teams of students “to think about what we put where, what we edit down” says New York-based photographer Susan Meiselas. Visual Studies Workshop remains an open studio, the April 21 Public Market appearance was a pop-up studio, and the final April 28 showcase “will bring together any number of bodies of work,” Meiselas says.

She has been to Rochester in the past to speak at RIT and Eastman House, “but this is a Rochester I didn’t know, am in the midst of discovering,” she says.

Meiselas’s interest is in the diversity found within Rochester, the history that has created and exacerbated divisions, and the ways in which those divisions interact. “On one level, it’s still a beautiful city,” she says. “The astounding part of this town is the quality of buildings, and the history in the buildings is just so striking.

And in contrast to that, the division of the city.”

She points to the impact of the Inner Loop, what it’s done to our communities, and expresses interest in focusing, during her short stay in Rochester, on people who cross between these disparate communities. “People who might move from one community and reach out and try to connect to another,” she says, “where the community mixes.” This is the idea behind holding the pop-up studio as well as pop-up art exhibits in and around the Public Market.

“We were looking for what would be the place where the possibility of bringing together the disparity of what we’re recording and capturing in these couple of weeks, and bring together the largest community that could experience that together. So finding the right space was key. At one time we had the hope that we would find Magnum photog Meiselas was interested in discovering Rochester’s diliterally a house, and verse communities and the “bridge people” who connect them.

Slop ’n’ sleaze [ review ] by frank de blase

Of all the Celtic rock bands I’ve seen over the years, Tempest is the most balanced.

Bands like Flogging Molly and The Dropkick Murphys mix in plenty of Irish bravado and licks, but their sound is often dominated by the guitar and frequently accelerated time signatures. Tempest offers loud guitar, and even its traditional instruments — fiddle and mandolin — are amplified. But the San Francisco-based quintet (three of the musicians were in kilts) resists the chaos in order to leave room for its melodies, its lyrics, and its folklore. There was still plenty of nontraditional exploration at the band’s Lovin’ Cup show Wednesday, April 18. The mandolin was a double-neck affair, and there was plenty of electric guitar snaking around the upper register with the purple fiddle as the band swirled and raged.

Saturday was Record Store Day — a mixture of all the holidays, really. It was like Xmas for its gift-giving potential, Valentine’s Day because we all love music, and Easter because what was once considered a dead medium has risen again. I stopped by the Record Archive to witness the in-store

chaos of the Tombstone Hands. I’ve always dug this band’s heavy-on-the-Link Wray instrumental slop ’n’ sleaze, but I have to tell you, the band has gotten tight. It’s still savage and biting, but the band has added a conciseness to the looseness, and an excess to re-address the masses. And I don’t know about you, but is “Rumble” the perfect instrumental or what?

Slipped out of the Archive and down to the new Bop Shop to dig the ultra-cool café swing and Gypsy jazz of the Djangoners.

The band preened and swung with an unparalleled elegance and charm. This is excellent music for sipping something brown from tiny cups and pitching woo.

Way up there on the hipster meter, Jack.

Saturday night after enduring the “Jersey Boys” falsetto marathon, I made it to Abilene to witness people dancing their heads off to The Public Market Band. While the band bopped hot and mean, people were literally rolling around on the floor. I half expected them to start speaking in tongues. Everyone was jumping for Joy — apparently she wouldn’t come down from the chandelier.

The Vassar Brothers uses traditional instrumentation in nontraditional ways. The group features amateur musicians, but is developing a large local following.

All in the family The Vassar Brothers Friday, May 11 Lovin Cup, 300 Park Point Drive 9 p.m. | $3-$5 | lovincup.com [ PROFILE ] BY WILLIE CLARK

They might not all be related by blood, but the merry members of Rochester-based bluegrassrock outfit the Vassar Brothers have formed quite the musical family. For this article I sat down with six members of the seven-personstrong Vassar Brothers. They laughed, poked fun at each other, and passed stories left and right in the close-knit manner of siblings. But it’s the music they create as a group that stands out and builds the picture of who the Vassar Brothers are, and gives a look at just how much of an extended family these musicians have become.

It’s ironic that, for a group this unified and easy to place, its sound is so hard to pin down. The Vassar Brothers mix together fiddle, mandolin, guitar, banjo, electric guitar, washboard, bass, and drums into a melodic frenzy of musical tastes, heightened by the members’ wide range of walks of life and musical interests. By day the band members are students, teachers, accountants, doctors, and graphic and interior designers. But by night they’re burgeoning local music stars.

At the simplest, the music of the Vassar Brothers is a mix of bluegrass and rock, or “polyethnic funkgrass” as the band would put it. But the varied family dynamic makes its way into the equally multifaceted world of the band’s musical sound. Blending country, folk, reggae, jam-band, and world music, The Vassar Brothers is following in a vein of folk traditionalism when it comes to instrumentation, but mixing in groove sensibilities and rock sounds of drums, guitar, 16 City APRIL 25 - MAY 1, 2012

and bass to get people on their feet — and keep them there.

The band takes its name from Vassar Street, the

location of the house where the group eventually met. The current line-up includes vocalistguitarist JD Pryor, Bob Bell on mandolin and banjo, lead guitarist Peter Buttrill, bassist Phil Ortolani, violinist Kristan Vasan, drummer Brian Loughner, and washboard and harmonica player (and tap dancer) Cristina Buttrill.

“Overall we were friends that all had interested in music of different genres, and came together for a couple days and decided it was positive and we wanted to do it,” Loughner says.

And like any good family, the young band already has its share of good, and less-thengood-but-memorable, stories together. The Vassar Brothers played its first show at Park Avenue Summer Arts Festival two years ago.

The group had started playing together at a friend’s going-away party at that fateful house on Vassar Street, and then ended up taking a short set at the festival. However, the group ended up playing for 45 minutes before being broken up by the police, who came asking for a playing permit, which the group didn’t have.

(All the while the band was in the middle of playing, ironically, “The Harder They Come”

by Jimmy Cliff, which contains the lyrics, “Well the officers are trying to keep me down, Trying to drive me underground.”)

That potentially rough start hasn’t driven the band underground, however. And the group continued to grow, expanding its large band family to friends, some of whom were new to their instruments.

“I grew up dancing, tap dancing, so I had never really played a washboard, or knew that it could be played,” says Cristina Buttrill. “So I said, Yeah, I’ll play washboard. I tap, it’s basically tapping with your fingers.”

“We’ve just been kind of adding, as we’ve gone, people to the band that have already been part of our lives. It’s been fun,” Ortolani says.

But the fun doesn’t, and shouldn’t, stop

with the band. This family celebration is all inclusive, and the band’s live show is a testament to its celebration mentality. “[We’re ]trying to get people together, that’s kind of what we base our music on. Is this going to make people dance and enjoy a night out?” Pryor says.

The band recently recorded an EP at Bluebrick Studios in Avon, with plans in the works for a full-length album. The group isn’t full time, but still gets together at least once a week to practice, challenging itself to add more covers and originals to its rotating set list. And even though the music isn’t their day job, and the band doesn’t see that changing anytime soon, the members say they enjoy getting to spend time with each other and having fun, while helping each other continue to grow as musicians.

“It’s such a fine line between us wanting to be better musicians and just having fun.

I would love to be in my 50s and still doing this...it’s just fun playing bars around town,” Loughner says.

But, if the Vassar Brothers one day make enough money to cover all seven of their individual rents, the band concedes that it might look at touring a little more often.

“We just want to keep growing, and the minute that it isn’t doing that and we’re not passionate about that, we all have things. This is just a hobby for us, but we keep it in such regard — to practice together at least once a week, you got to have that passion,” Pryor says. “And that’s one thing that we have in common. And we’re all friends, so it makes it so much easier.”

HIP-HOP | B.o.B.

While the success of hit singles like “Nothing on You” and “Airplanes” makes B.o.B.’s upcoming performance at RIT’s Gordon Field House one of the most coveted tickets in town, the strength of more recent mixtapes “No Genre” and “EPIC” prove that being present for a B.o.B. concert is truly worth the price of admission. With his upcoming sophomore album, B.o.B. looks to answer critics by combining the hooks that made him famous with the angsty stanzas and creative rhymes that established him as one of the industry’s best songwriters.

If the latest single, “Where Are You (B.o.B. vs. Bobby Ray)”, is any indication Bobby Simmons Jr. is meeting critics head on, resulting in the most original B.o.B. album yet.

B.o.B performs Saturday, April 28, 8 p.m. at Gordon Field House, Rochester Institute of Technology. $36.

Alternative | Passion Pit

Plenty of bands have pitched a tent in the indie campground, but few have managed sleepovers and achieved BFF status as quickly as Boston’s Passion Pit. Formed in 2007, this love child of lead singer Michael Angelakos evolved from a Valentine’s Day present for an ex-girlfriend into a quintet and has emerged as a stud. Passion Pit plays electropop the way you like it, with an abundance of dance-inducing hooks, cutesy sing-a-long melodies, and a nuanced beat that’s so complex and lush, it will leave you exhausted and satisfied. The group hit a climax with its 2009 CD “Manners,” and Passion Pit’s highly anticipated next album is scheduled to drop in June, making this show a pre-record-release party of sorts.

Passion Pit performs Tuesday, May 1, 8 p.m. at the Smith Opera House, 82 Seneca St., Geneva. $32. thesmith.org.

Who are the misbegotten?

“A Moon for the Misbegotten” By the Irish Players of Rochester Through April 28 MuCCC, 142 Atlantic Ave. $5-$15 | 234-7840, rochestercommunityplayers.org [ REVIEW ] BY MICHAEL LASSER

In “A Moon for the Misbegotten,” just who are the misbegotten? In Eugene O’Neill’s last completed play, neither Josie Hogan nor Jim Tyrone is born out of wedlock, yet both inherit something accursed; some failure of genetics or upbringing puts them at odds with the rest of the world. Josie’s father, Phil, is a tenant farmer who works a barren patch of land, drinks to excess, and spills blarney helter-skelter as he connives to have his way; Josie has a reputation for promiscuity, flaunts as much

bravado as her father, and fears her own vulnerability; and Jim, an alcoholic, selfhating cynic, is the scion of the ruined Tyrone family from O’Neill’s “Long Day’s Journey into Night.” (The Tyrones are based on O’Neill’s own family, and James is modeled on his older brother, Jamie.)

“A Moon for the Misbegotten” is great and flawed, compelling and tedious, a treacherous undertaking for any group of actors. It is irritatingly repetitive, strangely comic, elegiac, and inescapably moving when it is done right. But in the hands of unskilled actors, it is easy to trivialize. Its main characters arm themselves in alcohol and comic bluster as they plumb haunted memories before finding a few moments of redemption and peace — and yet nothing changes.

A word like “bittersweet” comes closest to expressing what the play leaves in the heart, yet that barely touches what occurs.

So it is admirable for a community theater — Rochester Community Players’ Irish Players, currently performing at MuCCC — to try to take hold of this demanding play.

Therein lies what’s impressive in the production, and also what fails.

Set in 1923, the play

Stephanie Roosa and Gregory Ludek in “A Moon for the Misbegotten.”

PHOTO BY KEN DAUER

is built from a series of set pieces, usually involving two of the three main characters.

Phil and Josie’s talk is all threat and bluster, beneath which a layer of affection somehow survives; yet they have no future but loneliness and poverty.

Who will marry this outspoken woman whose own father calls her a “slut”? She has fallen in love with their landlord, the emotionally crippled Jim Tyrone, who also loves her but flays himself with guilt for his mother’s death. Adding to the

personal confrontations are the possibility that Jim will sell the farm to a wealthy neighbor, along with Phil’s destructive scheme to get his daughter married. In the third of the play’s four acts, Josie and Jim, both crushed by unendurable loneliness, stumble clumsily into a way to speak openly to one another. Jim can finally release his grief and he and Josie can admit their love for one another. The encounter comforts and reassures them, but Jim knows he is no fit husband, and Josie accepts her life as Phil’s daughter, who will live out her years on the farm.

There may be an inner calm that was missing before, but blighted dreams linger like moonlight.

In a play that consists of more than three hours of talk, the cast’s challenge is to keep it moving without forcing it or rushing. That finally happened in acts three and four, though at first the emoting and expansive gesturing in MuCCC’s small space was both large and tentative at the same time, as if noise and size would be sufficient. John R. Jaeger (Phil) is a burly man, who initially moved as if he didn’t have enough room onstage, while Gregory Ludek (Jim) failed to define the character of Jim; we came to know him from what others said about him. It is hard to understand what attracted Josie to him.

Director Jean Gordon Ryon also had the cast play the first act for laughs, rather than letting them rise from character and situation. All this threatened to reduce the conflicts to mere melodrama before the cast found its footing. By the time Stephanie Roosa as Josie, Jaeger, and Ludek reached the more varied emotionalism of acts three and four, they were in synch with one another and the play. It took a while but it was worth the wait.

Production values at MuCCC are usually minimal. Set designers Kathy and Ken Dauer set up the front porch of a suitably run-down cottage, and scattered rocks and a clothes line in the yard, while Peter Scribner’s lighting varied from the light of day to the essential moonlight at night. Alynn Steiner’s costumes didn’t feel like anything from the 1920’s, but then nothing in the play did. O’Neill’s Connecticut is a place as close as yesterday or tomorrow, from which there are no escapes without scars.

Half of the participants will receive a drug called armodafinil that may be helpful in reducing daytime tiredness and fatigue.

LECTURE | 1950’s Rochester Jazz

With the 2012 Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival roughly two months away, we’re longing for balmy summer nights filled with living music and cold drinks. But how many are aware that Rochester had a thriving jazz-club scene which attracted greats in the 1950’s? On Thursday, April 26, the Rochester Historical Society will present a discussion and slide presentation on mid-century jazz in Rochester. “Tom Hampson Remembers Rochester’s 1950s Jazz Scene” will be presented by Hampson, host of “Jazz from the Cellar,” on WXXI-AM-1370, at RHS in the Rundel Memorial Library (second floor, 115 South Ave.).

The talk takes place at 7 p.m. and will feature photographs of jazz artists performing in Rochester, including Dave Brubeck, Billie Holiday, and Nat King Cole, from the Paul Hoeffler Collection, at University of Rochester Library’s Department of Rare Books and Special Collections. The event will be hosted by Derrick Lucas, music director at WGMC Jazz 90.1. The suggested donation is $5 per person. For more information, call 428-8470 or visit rochesterhistory.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

LECTURES/WORKSHOPS | Race & Ethnicity

Humanity’s unending naval gazing has brought us great and terrible things. In the terrible stack, you have the cultural construct of race, which has been and is used to justify inhuman actions of one group toward another, and has destroyed our communities from their onset. In the good news pile, modern efforts with genetic science have led us to a truth: that the motherland of the entire human species is Africa.

National Stand Against Racism day is held annually by the YWCA in efforts to eliminate racism by raising awareness. Here are some timely lectures and workshops to help you sort it out with professionals and your community.

On Friday, April 27, noon-1 p.m., the Rochester Public Library will host ACT Rochester’s Program Director, Ann Johnson, who will speak on our race-ethnicity community disparities. The talk will be held in Kate Gleason Auditorium at Central Library (115 South Ave.), and is free of charge.

For more information, call 428-8350. To learn more about disparities among race groups, visit actrochester.org.

A free workshop entitled “A Conversation on Race: A Process of Discovery” will be held Tuesday, May 1, 6-8 p.m. at Arnett Branch Library (310 Arnett Blvd.), and Thursday, May 3, 6-8 p.m. at Penfield Public Library (1985 Baird Road). The workshop is free, but space is limited. For more information, and to register, contact Linda Rock at 4288350, or email linda.rock@libraryweb.org.

RECREATION | Flower City Challenge

This weekend’s Flower City Challenge is an opportunity to redeem yourself after our mild, gluttonous winter. On Saturday, April 28, starting at 7:30 a.m., the Genesee Valley Park (131 Elmwood Ave.) will host the first two events of the challenge, the SMP River Challenge Duathlon and the SMP River Challenge Paddle Triathlon. The first event starts with a 5K run to get your heart pumping, then continues with a 20-mile biking course that will lead the brave souls past RIT and back past the airport, returning to the park to finish with another 5k run. The triathlon follows the same first two legs of the first challenge, but after the bike ride participants jump in a canoe or kayak and paddle three miles up the Genesee River.

Day two of the challenge takes place Sunday, April 29, starting at 7:30 a.m. at the Rochester Blue Cross Arena (1 War Memorial Square), the starting point for the Wegmans Family 5K and Unity Health Systems Rochester Flower City Half Marathon. The first event is a 3.1-mile run past city landmarks such as the Susan B. Anthony House, Frontier Field, and Kodak Tower. The halfmarathon will take runners down urban streets, through public parks, and inside charming neighborhoods, as the 13.1-mile run heads into Highland Park and Mount Hope Cemetery, then loops around the University of Rochester.

For more information about the events, visit flowercitychallenge. com. If running isn’t your thing, but you still want to be a part of the challenge, contact ellen@fleetfeetrochester.com to volunteer.

Fathers and sons, glittering prizes [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“Footnote,” considering the constant tensions in the Middle East, defies expectations. It disregards “Footnote” any international considerations, never mentions any of its hostile neighbors, the West Bank, (PG), directed by Joseph Cedar Palestine, etc., but concentrates its narrow focus Now playing at little & pittsford on a small, domestic, essentially minor matter The actor-director Maximilian Schell once stated that hardly seems a promising subject for cinema, that only a nation of more than 50 million people a squabble over recondite scholarship and its could establish a genuine motion-picture industry. dubious consequences and rewards.

That assertion may explain why we see so few The movie opens with a ceremony honoring Israeli films, even in those estimable theaters that a distinguished Talmudic scholar, Professor offer a cordial welcome to works from other lands. Uriel Shkolnik (Lior Ashkenazi), who in a prolix The last one I recall, the troubling and innovative speech mentions his debt to all his teachers, “Waltz With Bashir,” opened here as far back as especially his father, Eliezer (Shlomo Bar-Aba), 2009, perhaps confirming Schell’s theory. a philologist who accomplished groundbreaking Much like the recent Iranian film “A work in the same field. Because someone Separation,” the latest product from Israel, else’s discoveries overshadowed his, Eliezer’s examination of a particular text of the Old Testament unfortunately failed to win him the recognition he deserved; the failure leaves him embittered, resentful, and jealous of his son’s success.

to juxtaposing the domestic situations of father and son. A failure as a teacher as well as a scholar, Eliezer follows a daily routine, visiting the library, ostensibly conducting research, but apparently, as Uriel accidentally discovers, spending time with another woman. He views the world with implacable disdain, barely conversing with anyone, including his wife, who never speaks to him and sleeps in a separate bedroom.

Despite his own accomplishments, Uriel feels both guilty and resentful about his father’s attitude, and of course shocked at seeing him with another woman. Although unlike his parents, he and his wife converse, she tells him that he wouldn’t have the courage to have an affair, and his son, Josh, a complete slacker with no ambitions or plans, regards him with contempt.

The familial and professional relationship reaches its climax in another award, the prestigious Israel Prize, intended for Uriel but mistakenly announced to Eliezer and the nation that it will be given to the father. When the committee in charge of the prize informs Uriel of the error, he meets with them to plead his father’s case, knowing it will break his heart and his spirit to once again be denied an honor. The scene, which mixes passionate argument, mild violence, and faint touches of the Marx brothers, defines the essence of the film — scholarly stuffiness, bureaucratic pettiness, the recalcitrance of an academic enemy (nothing matches the fury of a philologist out for revenge), and genuine filial concern.

Love and war [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“The Lucky One” (PG-13), directed by Scott Hicks Now playing

“The Raid: Redemption” (R), written and directed by Gareth Evans Now playing

The emotional and scholarly complications reach something of a crescendo when Eliezer expresses his scorn for other academics in a newspaper interview, outraging Uriel; when Eliezer himself discovers the mistake that awards him the prize, he faces a situation that in effect summarizes all the events and feelings in the film. The director wisely omits any real solution to that dilemma for him or anyone else in his family, allowing the audience to absorb the complex ironies of its ending.

“Footnote” often proceeds through silences, especially in the work of the man who plays Eliezer, Shlomo Bar-Aba, hardly a familiar name or face in this country. Rarely speaking, showing only the slightest hints of emotion, he accomplishes a wonderfully sustained piece of underacting. He conveys the sum of his suffering in the set of his lips, the narrowing of his eyes, the few sad gestures of his failure, a performance remarkable for its restraint.

Although the determinedly undramatic nature of its subject deserves admiration, sometimes the film’s repetitiveness and narrowness of focus robs the picture of some intensity and impact. The subtitles, for those of us who lack fluency in Hebrew, move too quickly against some often unreadable backgrounds, which naturally obscures meaning. Finally, let’s face it, the realities of scholarly research and its concomitant rivalries, disappointments, and failures hardly make for great cinema.

It appeared as though the projector bulb had blown with maybe 10 minutes to go in my screening of “The Lucky One,” and once the projectionist stopped the audio, the theater immediately filled with the squishy sounds of tearful, annoyed women.

Now, either my fellow audience members had by some miracle become emotionally invested in what was easily the funniest non-comedy of this young year, or, like me, they were noisily lamenting the two hours wasted on yet another manipulative, ham-fisted adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks romance. I’m sure we all knew how it would end, but I believe I was the only one who took advantage of the technical difficulties to make a beeline for the exit.

Perhaps you’ve been assaulted by a Sparks film before; 2004’s “The Notebook” arguably set the 21st century standard for romantic weepers, and since then

Taylor Schilling and Zac Efron in “The Lucky One.” PHOTO COURTESY WARNER

cinematic storytellers have been hoping to catch lightning in a bottle one more time. But director Scott Hicks has failed miserably with “The Lucky One,” which stars the super-cute and mega-boring Zac Efron as Marine Corps Sergeant Logan Thibault, an Iraqi War vet who returns home to Colorado clutching a talisman that he found during one of his three tours of duty. It’s a photograph of a blonde mystery woman, and the opening credits have barely finished before Logan has stalked — er, I mean pinpointed her Louisiana location and hit the road with his awesome dog to express his gratitude.

Yet what should have been a 15-minute movie, tops, gets stretched to feature length when the photo’s subject, Beth (the generic Taylor Schilling), continues to interrupt Logan’s mealy-mouthed explanation for his sudden presence at her kennel. Naturally, Logan begins working there, and of course Beth is a beautiful but damaged single mother with an adorable moppet of a son, a controlling and abusive ex (Jay R. Ferguson in a thankless role), and a sassy, omniscient grandma (Blythe Danner, so above this). Cue the proverbial dance, where Beth fights her attraction to the sensitive and handy Logan, while the undiscussed photo hangs like a sword of Damocles over their blossoming relationship. Our job is to wonder how Beth will react when she finds out, except it really isn’t that big of a deal, now is it?

That’s Nicholas Sparks for you, though, throwing nonsensical obstacles between lovers and hoping that we, the audience, will get caught up in their yearning. Unfortunately, the couple at the heart of “The Lucky One” has no palpable chemistry, with Efron a blank slate and Schilling (over)acting for two.

And I’m not sure what happened to Hicks, the Australian filmmaker who garnered attention with his Oscar-nominated work

on 1996’s “Shine” and then failed to keep his artistic momentum going. But “The Lucky One” is definitely easy on the eyes, with gorgeous, painterly images by ace Canadian cinematographer Alar Kivilo.

As for the ending, I read up on it, and it’s vintage Sparks: utterly predictable yet laughably preposterous. I almost wish I had stuck it out. Almost.

Fans of Asian action films tend to forgive

them their trespasses, which usually include a coherent narrative being forsaken in favor of flashy, bone-crunching violence. And that, in a nutshell, sums up “The Raid: Redemption,” a wildly entertaining martialarts flick that should put Welsh writerdirector Gareth Evans on the Hollywood fast track. Except for a brief prologue that introduces us to (and humanizes) our hero, the entirety of “The Raid: Redemption” takes place in a grimy 15-story apartment building in Jakarta. A SWAT team is poised to take down the crime lord on the top floor, but with state-of-the-art surveillance and 14 floors of minions, Tama (scenestealer Ray Sahetapy) is ready for them.

The magnetic Iko Uwais stars as Rama, the rookie cop with the level head, and it slowly becomes clear in “The Raid: Redemption” that Rama is pretty much on his own, battling his way from floor to floor to save his fellow cops and take down the ruthless Tama. Along with Yayan Ruhian, who plays Tama’s scrappy yet weirdly honorable lieutenant Mad Dog, Uwais choreographed the jaw-dropping fight interludes that are rooted in pencak silat, the martial arts indigenous to Indonesia. And the scenes are extended and seamless; Evans is confident enough in the quality of his action sequences to refrain from chopping them up. We don’t get to see too much straightforward, nonironic action anymore, which makes all this earnestness rather exhilarating.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE Thursday, April 26, 8 p.m.

Carole Lombard’s final role proved to be one of her finest: as the grand dame of a Polish acting troupe who becomes embroiled in a love triangle involving her ham husband (a riotous Jack Benny) and a handsome anti-Nazi aviator (Robert Stack), she displays all the wit and sexiness that defined her career. Decried as tasteless upon release for daring to find humor in war, subterfuge, and the Nazi threat, Lubitsch’s blackly comic film is also one of his funniest and most complex. (Ernst Lubitsch, US 1942, 99 min., 16 mm.)

Set in an ultra-violent future where the only thing more frightening than the roving youth gangs is the therapy used to “cure” them, Stanley Kubrick’s startling adaptation of Anthony Burgess’s novel has lost none of its power to outrage and disturb. Malcolm McDowell stars as Alex, the Beethoven-loving leader of a band of “droogs” whose crime spree comes to an abrupt end when he’s sent to a cutting-edge “rehabilitation” clinic.

407 Rosewood Terrace Sitting on the porch of 407 Rosewood Terrace backpack laden children, canine laden people, and welcoming neighbors strolled by. I was pleasantly surprised by the neighborhood’s tree lined streets, handsome early 20th century homes, and walkability.

The Thomas Ryan Community Center built in 2009 is a centerpiece of the community.

Easy access to shopping and services along both Culver and Winton allow residents to fulfill all their needs close to home.

407 Rosewood Terrace is a circa 1920 American Foursquare. A concrete stairway flanked by flowers leads up the center of the front lawn to a generous front porch. The porch retains its handsome wood ceiling. A driveway leads behind the house to a small, private, fully fenced backyard. In the rear is a two car garage with an additional living space with a small screened porch.

As you enter through the front door one is struck by the beautiful woodwork and handsome original narrow plank wood floors. Two columns flank the entrance from the parlor to the living room, lit by multiple windows and a stained glass transom. A set of working pocket doors frame the entrance to the stunning dining room which features a large bay window, original moldings on the walls and a gorgeous coffered ceiling. An eat-in kitchen with a walk-in pantry has a convenient laundry chute nearby. A small porch leads into the backyard.

A large, striking stained glass window greets you as you ascend the stairway to the second floor. There is a handsome built-in linen closet on the second floor landing as well as a laundry chute! The handsome wood moldings continue throughout the second floor. The large master bedroom has room for both a sleeping and sitting area, and features a walkin closet. There is a small screened sleeping porch off the master bedroom. Two smaller bedrooms offer plenty of room for a small family to grow. There is a full bathroom off the landing and an additional full bathroom on the first floor.

The current owner has restored much of the original moldings which had been painted and has refinished some of the floors. The roof was replaced in 2008 and there is a full attic and basement, which could offer storage or additional living space. With its wealth of original detailing, quality craftsmanship, and an affordable price in a diverse and comfortable neighborhood, this property offers a great opportunity for the homebuyer looking for a character-filled home to enhance and make his or her own.

407 Rosewood Terrace is listed at $79,900 through Angela Penkin, RE/MAX Plus, 585279-8120. Visit www.rochestercityliving.com/ property/R177331 for additional photos. The home is approximately 1,785 square feet.
