Joywave finds the value of melody His past isn’t the least bit checkered, but Rochester rocker Dan Armbruster wants to leave it behind him. His new band, Joywave, has been steadily gaining traction and slowly emerging from the shadows of his previous endeavors, The Hoodies and Vice Grip. And aside from the line-up, there are no similarities, or any comparison, between the three projects. Joywave has a lush, more enveloping sound with an epic cadence and rock ’n’ roll tone — something neither The Hoodies nor Vice Grip ever had. “I think this is what we always wanted to do,” says Armbruster, who equates The Hoodies’ pop-

punk leanings to high school. “It’s something we almost got stuck doing,” he says. “A lot of kids were coming to our shows. We ran with that awhile, and then re-aligned the music that we wanted to make with the music we enjoyed. We’ve been doing the Joywave thing for about a year now. So far, so good.” This Joywave “thing” is big and bold, with a hint of Brit pop and atmospheric rock. Where the arrangements take chances, the melody does not. That’s not to say the band isn’t adventurous, but the melodies are simple, catchy, and prevalent.

urban journal | by mary anna towler

The next big squabble: a new superintendent Oh, lordy. Everybody — Jean-Claude Brizard’s supporters and his critics — wants to be involved in choosing his successor. But how does a divided community decide what kind of superintendent it wants? And it’s no small thing that the school board itself is divided, over both Brizard and his reform vision. Well, a couple of thoughts: 1) The division in this community will have an effect, and I don’t see anybody who can pull everybody together — behind a vision for improving the schools, or behind a superintendent. It’s great that so many people are paying so much attention right now, but collectively, these folks have very different ideas about what should happen. Some love Jean-Claude Brizard’s initiatives. Some hate them. Some like standardized tests; some hate them. Some think the teachers union needs to be taken down several notches, but teachers want to be more involved. (Question: If teachers don’t like a superintendent’s proposals, should the superintendent back off?) And while I’m glad to see business leaders wanting to be involved, I’m not at all sure they understand the challenges city teachers face. One of our readers suggested last week that the district’s critics in the business community ought to spend some time as substitute teachers. Amen to that. 2) There’s a great cry now for finding somebody who will stay here a long time, who’ll be “committed to Rochester.” Some critics use the term “revolving door” to describe the Rochester superintendent’s office. A reader commenting in last week’s Rochester Business Journal insisted that the district has had six superintendents in “about eight years.” Well, no, we’ve had three in the past eight years, and one of them was an interim. The fact is, superintendents don’t stick around very long anywhere these days. In fact, Rochester has kept superintendents longer than the national average for urban districts. According to the Council of Great City Schools, in 2010 the average tenure for superintendents in urban school districts was 3.64 years. (That’s up from the 1999 average of 2.33 years.) Brizard stayed with us just a tad under that average. Manny Rivera was here (on his second stint) for about four years, Cliff Janey for about seven. Rivera’s first term lasted only two years, preceded by Peter McWalters’ eight (the first year as acting superintendent) and Laval Wilson’s five. Tenure’s longer in suburban districts. In New York State, the average used

We may have to find a way to get dramatic change despite short-term leadership in the Rochester school district.” to be about 11 years, says Jody Siegle, executive director of the Monroe County School Boards Association, but that has dropped to about 7. One reason, she says: “The job has become increasingly demanding.” Superintendents are expected to be leaders “responsible to all, and responsible for everything,” says Siegle. And, she says, “laws keep changing every year; the funding situation keeps changing every year.” Among Monroe County’s 21 suburban superintendents, the average tenure is 5.7; six of the superintendents have served three years or less, Greece is searching for a new superintendent, and two more districts are getting one. Longevity does seem important. It’s hard to carry out real change if the person in charge of change leaves every few years. The pure force of inertia favors the status quo. But this is the world we live in now. We may have to find a way to get dramatic change despite short-term leadership. And as for “hiring local”: it hasn’t made much difference whether our superintendents have previously worked in the Rochester district or not. McWalters, who was local, was superintendent for seven; so was the non-local Janey. Or compare the local Rivera’s two followed by four with the non-local Wilson’s five. (I have a longer discussion of Rochester’s tenure history in a blog on our website.) One thing that could make a difference: a strong, cohesive school board. But with an election looming, things may get worse there rather than better. Well, there’s always mayoral control.

On Brizard’s pay

As much as Jean-Claude Brizard was loved by certain sections of the community, the fact remains that he was not able to coalesce the different factions that are involved in operations of the school district. In that sense it is better that he goes. But his departure should not cost the city. When someone breaks an employment contract, the only thing that person is entitled to is pay through the time he or she leaves the office and any residual pay accumulated in the original contract, but only up to the time of the departure. Typically the new employer will cover any losses incurred by the new employee. Has anybody seen Brizard’s contract with his new employer? What does it cover regarding his leaving Rochester? Personally I hope he does better in Chicago, but what Rochester really needs is someone like the lady that ran the DC school system. And Rochester certainly does not need to cover any expenses of dearly departed employees. Has anybody heard of double dipping? ALEX GONCAROVS, ROCHESTER

On David Cay Johnston’s “Tax Myths and Tall Tales,” April 13: Over the

years, I have had many issues with Mr. Johnston’s City

april 27 - MAY 3, 2011

views about the operation of our tax system. Most of them stem from the fact that he has never practiced as a tax advisor and had to deal with the realities of the tax system from the trenches. Nevertheless, I applaud Mr. Johnston for this article and City for publishing it. Since I began practicing 40 years ago, I have seen the tax system become ever more imbalanced, favoring the desires of special interests (and to my mind the federal government is one of those special interests in its use of the tax system to foster non-tax public policy goals) to the detriment of the majority of individual taxpayers and small business owners. It is time to reexamine how taxes are generated and on whom the burdens should fall. Mr. Johnston’s Quixotic voice can play a role in fostering that. Sadly, however, I believe that any such reexamination will be done by the foxes who guard the hen house rather than the chickens who live there, and that no real change will ever be forthcoming. RJ RUBLE

On the Rochester school district considering leasing space at Franklin High School to a charter school: If charter schools

are as great as everyone makes them out to be, why don’t we duplicate their policies within our district by holding parents and students accountable? The behaviors that are allowed to occur in the city schools would not be tolerated in many of the charter schools, so why must we tolerate them? I have had multiple students who were kicked out of charter schools for behavior issues and now they are in the district repeating the same behaviors and with little to no consequences. Why reinvent the wheel when only a couple of spokes are broken? LM

On Superintendent JeanClaude Brizard’s decision to move to Chicago: “Hill

to Die On” Duffy who swore he cared about our kids: gone. “I love your kids ‘til a better offer comes along” Brizard: gone. An elected school board composed of community leaders who struggle daily with the difficult issues of education: still here and on the job cleaning up their messes! THANK GOD WE HAVE AN ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD

If I was made superintendent tomorrow, I would immediately do three things: 1) Let teachers know that I am there to help them educate children and ask them what they need in the classrooms to get that done. 2) Modify the ridiculous nosuspension rule that puts students and teachers in danger every day. 3) Clean the extremely overpaid butt-kissers out of Central Office and replace them with qualified educators who care about children. DAVE REILLY

While many parents advocate for the children on a daily basis, help them with their homework, keep in close contact with their child’s teachers, and read to them every night, many parents don’t. As a Rochester teacher, I work hard every day to fill gaps that should have been filled by parents (8-yearolds who don’t know their colors or how to tie their shoes). I help children deal with emotional issues that would shake most adults to their core (witnessing illegal activity and domestic violence). I don’t want formal recognition, but I do look forward to the possibility of a new leader who acknowledges these obstacles and works with teachers to provide the supports that our students so desperately need. Until we address the needs that are associated with poverty, nothing will change. AN RCSD TEACHER

1st Annual

SALVAGE SELVEDGE CONTEST Those who keep referring to Jean-Claude Brizard’s salary don’t have a clue. Check into salaries of other superintendents in Monroe County — those with one quarter of the children, one quarter of the staff, and one quarter of the problems facing large urban districts today. We are losing a wonderful educator, period. JOANNE

I am a teacher in this district. You wonder why we look at Brizard’s salary? I make a bit less than he does and I pay for: snacks, socks, belts, mittens, books, paper, scissors, crayons, glue, tape, pencils for 23 students. That’s not to mention all the supplies I need: chalk, printer ink, Post-it’s, and many other things. The district gives me $100 for the year. That is $10 per month. On average a teacher will spend $400 of his or her own money to meet the needs of our students. Then you tell me how we need to take a pay cut if we care about children. PATTY

We sound like Cleveland when Lebron James left for Miami! Just because Brizard got an opportunity to go to a larger school district doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about the children of Rochester. There are a lot of children in some very troubled schools in Chicago. It’s not like he took the Super’s job in Hollywood or Lake Tahoe or something — it’s Chicago, some of the worst schools in the country with the highest amount of violence. STEPHEN

The teachers in the RCSD are hard-working, dedicated professionals. You could swap the staffs of any city high school and suburban high school and maintain the same results. The problems of the RCSD reflect the concentration of poverty in the city of Rochester.

If you are truly interested in helping the students, advocate for an end to the de facto segregation that currently exists in Monroe County. Yes, segregation. Until that is addressed, there will be no significant improvements. The corporatist agenda of people like Jean-Claude Brizard, mayoral control, replacing the current teacher corps — these are the same as treating a terminally ill cancer patient with Advil. The only change that will truly change the ills of the RCSD is a countywide school district. DANIEL MCGAVIN

Jean Claude Brizard is neither a villain nor a saint. He did make some improvements in the district, but I think this Equitable Student Funding garbage was put forth for the purpose of making him attractive to a bigger district with greater financial troubles. That said, if the teachers union would compromise on salaries and benefits, more jobs and services would be spared. Those of us working in the public sector or for nonprofits have had to sacrifice, and our children are getting less at home as a result, and less at school. Come on, Board of Ed., teachers union, and RCSD, try really putting our children first for a change. PARENT OF RCSD STUDENT

Does anyone care to point out that it is the teachers and their union who have been failing in this district for decades? What have the teachers and their union done to promote reform and fix this system rather than block any attempt of either? The teachers and the union should be ashamed of themselves. Who believes for one second that the next superintendent will be treated any differently? Not me.

URMC gets special directory

Area continues to see job growth The jobless rate in the Rochester region fell to 7.7 percent in March, says a report from the State Labor Department. The drop from 8.3 percent the prior month signals that the local economy is recovering from the recession at a steady pace. Though the net gain in Rochester for March was 4,400 jobs, the private sector added nearly 5,000 jobs — another positive indicator.

A 16-page special directory has been put out for the URMC because multiple listings were somehow omitted or printed incorrectly in the Yellow and White Pages. Photo by MATT DETURCK

New sets of Frontier Pages phone books have been appearing on doorsteps, and residents may have noticed that one of the books stands out from the others: a small 16-page special edition for the University of Rochester Medical Center. You might think that the UR, being the largest employer in Rochester, warranted its own unique book for easier reference. But that’s not the case. What happened is a marketing manager’s worst fear. During the production process of the 2011 Frontier Pages directories for the Rochester metro, multiple listings were somehow omitted or printed incorrectly. Most, but not all, of the problems in the directories involve URMC Yellow Page listings and advertising. The Emergency Department telephone number that appears under the Strong Memorial Hospital White Page listings is also incorrect. A letter from Frontier Pages and the Berry Company, the telephone directory’s publisher, accompanies

the new set and helps to explain the mishap and offers an apology. Still, the marketing folks at URMC are concerned that residents might toss out the special edition, says Teri D’Agostino, a URMC spokesperson. Residents may not read the letter of explanation, think they’ve received duplicative information, she says, and get rid of the small directory. The special edition contains URMCaffiliated listings for everything from physicians to prosthetic devices. The supplemental directory was printed at no cost to the UR, says Stephanie Schifano, a marketing manager with Frontier. The company provided more than 350,000 households with the new set of directories, she says. The directories, she says, have a 99.3-percent accuracy rate. Information on the URMC website is accurate and calls made to the Strong Memorial Hospital Emergency Department are automatically routed to the correct number.

The proposed regulations limit wind-power generators to five zoning districts in Chili: general industrial, limited industrial, general business, planned institutional development, and rural agriculture. A special-use permit is required to build a wind turbine in any of those districts.

Chili plans ahead for wind turbines

Redistricting plan introduced

If all goes smoothly, Chili will be the next Monroe County town to regulate wind turbines. Town staff and officials have written a set of proposed wind turbine regulations, and the Town Board will hold a public hearing on them at 7 p.m. on May 18 at Chili Town Hall, 3333 Chili Avenue. The codes are available on the town’s website, www.townofchili.org. Several Monroe County towns have already developed turbine regulations. Hamlin started developing them after Iberdrola expressed interest in erecting utilityscale wind-power generators in the town. Irondequoit developed them to allow small turbines for on-site use. There haven’t been any wind turbine proposals in Chili, says Supervisor David Dunning. But town officials wanted to be prepared in case the town gets one, he says. The proposed regulations limit windpower generators to five zoning districts: general industrial, limited industrial, general business, planned institutional development, and rural agriculture. A special-use permit is required to build a wind turbine in any of those districts. The proposed regulations also establish three different wind turbine classifications based on height and generating capacity. Small turbines

are those under 65 feet tall from the base of the tower to the tip of the turbine blades and have a generating capacity of less than 10 kilowatts. Mediumsized systems generate more than 10 kilowatts and are less than 200 feet tall. Both the small and mediumsized turbines would likely be intended for private use. The regulations don’t specify the generating capacity for the large turbine category, but they define them as turbines systems that generate power for off-site consumption. No tower and turbine combination could be taller than 400 feet. The regulations also deal with minimum lot sizes; setbacks from roads, houses, and wetlands; noise thresholds, and appearance and require studies of flicker and wildlife impacts. “The process is very similar to building anything else in the town of Chili,” Dunning says.

DEVELOPMENT | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

The transit center next door Plans for the Mortimer Street bus station moved one more step forward this week, but the project still has obstacles to overcome. The Rochester Genesee Regional Transportation Authority unveiled the final transit-center design this week, and held a public hearing on its plan to acquire four properties for the project. Meantime, Mark IV Enterprises is suing the City of Rochester for actions related to the transit center. The main thrust of the lawsuit, says city Acting Corporation Counsel Jeff Eichner, is City Council’s vote to abandon a portion of Mortimer to RGRTA so the project can be built. Mark IV says the city didn’t follow proper environmental procedures, Eichner says. A required environmental review was completed for the Renaissance Square project, which included the bus station, a theater, and a new MCC campus. That review of environmental impacts is now being used for the stand-alone transit center, and a Mark IV consultant says a new review is necessary. “It’s a very different project,” says consultant Timothy Poley.

Mark IV has converted the Warner Building, which is adjacent to the transitcenter site, into luxury apartments. But potential tenants have been scared away, Poley says, by the idea of a transit center next door. And one of the four properties that RGRTA is trying to acquire is a parking lot used by tenants at the Warner Building. “It’s really brought us to a crumbling stop in terms of leasing units, because no one wants to be beside the bus barn,” Poley says. “I mean, if we don’t have parking, and the first three floors of our building are looking out directly at the wall of the bus barn — 11 to 15 feet off our property line. It’s certainly not conducive to high-end, luxury apartments.” RGRTA spokesperson Shelly Dinan would not comment except to say that RGRTA has worked side-by-side with City Hall on the transit-center project. “The city has completely signed off on having the transit center located there,” she says. City Council member Elaine Spaull, whose district includes the transit-center site, says

The final design of the Mortimer Street transit center was unveiled on Monday night. PROVIDED IMAGE

the Warner Building is a beautiful complex and that the city is deeply committed to establishing more housing downtown. “I don’t think that [Mark IV] should think the city’s not grateful,” she says. “It is. We don’t take that investment for granted. I know they’re trying so hard. But whenever people have an opinion and it doesn’t match what you did, then you’re at odds.”

Mark IV consultant Poley says he’s not sure what the company’s options are if RGRTA and the city go through with the transit-center project. “We have luxury apartments here that have been very successful until the time it seemed like the bus barn was coming,” he says. “I guess the next step is, how do we get compensated for that?”

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

District contemplates housing a charter school As Rochester school board members cope with losing their superintendent to Chicago, they may now face another controversy: the possibility of a new charter school occupying part of Franklin High School. The idea, part of outgoing Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard’s reform efforts, was to be presented at a school board meeting this week as part of an update on several new district high schools, two of which — Vanguard Collegiate and Integrated Arts and Technology —are at Franklin. School board members asked that the discussion be postponed because they had too many other concerns to deal with. The new charter school would be operated by a private organization, which would lease space in Franklin from the school district. Although no charter operator has been selected, discussions have been under way with Uncommon Schools, which operates True North charter school in Rochester. The new school would open with middle or high-school grades. The practice of sharing public-school space with charter schools has been controversial in New York City. But City

april 27 - MAY 3, 2011

provision for doing that in Rochester is included in the District-Charter Collaboration Compact, a document signed last December by the superintendent and five of the district’s six charter school operators. The Compact says the district will offer charters district classroom space at low or no cost, since most charter schools do not have access to the funds needed to build a separate school. Charter schools, which receive state funds that are subtracted from state aid to their local public school districts, increasingly have become a contentious issue. Opponents see them as a threat to public school systems, and they say that they are opening the door to privatizing public education. Parents should have choices of where they can send their children to school, says Howard Eagle, a member of the Community Education Task Force. But charter schools, he says, shouldn’t take resources away from students in traditional public schools. All that does, Eagle says, is drain away resources from students who need them the most. “The parents that are going to actively seek choices for their children are the same parents

who are involved all along,” says Eagle. “But those parents who are not as involved and not as informed are not as likely to be the ones who will seek out these choices.” Rochester Teachers Association President Adam Urbanski says he has nothing against good charter schools. But he cites research indicating that 83 percent of charter schools are no better, and in some cases are worse, than traditional public schools. Charter school supporters like Mary Doyle, the district’s chief of school innovation, argue that many parents view charter schools as an important option, however. And she notes a disturbing trend: this year parents of nearly 5,000 students chose an alternative to Rochester public schools for their children — private, parochial, charter, the Urban-Suburban program, or home schooling. (Charter schools account for 1,774 students.) The district’s own student population is about 31,000 students, so that 5000 is a sizeable loss. “And that number is growing,” Doyle says. Doyle envisions a charter high school opening on the Franklin campus by 2012.

A public hearing on the matter is required, as is school board approval, and the district must notify parents in the school building where the charter will be housed. Whether the school board will endorse the idea is uncertain. School board President Malik Evans says he isn’t convinced that the timing is right for opening a new charter school in a district facility. He’s not against charter schools, he says, but he doesn’t want further distractions for the district. Doyle, however, hopes to demonstrate the importance of offering more choices to parents and students —through both the new public schools and a new charter school. For instance, Rochester Early College International opened with a ninth grade and 90 students, half of whom weren’t attending city schools before. “These are students we pulled into the district,” Doyle says. And she sees the new school as one example of how the district can reverse out-migration trend of city students.

Fighting racism

The YWCA of Rochester and Monroe County, joined by some 90 local businesses and community organizations, will support National Stand Against Racism Day on Friday, April 29. As part of the YWCA’s efforts, President and CEO Jean Carroll will give a talk about Shelly Tochluk’s book “Witnessing Whiteness: The Need to Talk about Race and How to Do It.” The book explains white privilege and explores the emotions of white shame and guilt. The event will be held at noon at the Central Library’s Kate Gleason Auditorium, 115 South Avenue. Numerous activities and events

will be held throughout the day in the Rochester region. A complete list and detailed information is available at www.standagainstracism.org.

Slavery in the 19th century

SUNY Geneseo will present a talk by British writer Andrea Levy about her latest book, “The Long Song,” on Friday, April 29. Set in Jamaica in the early 19th century, the book looks at Great Britain and the Caribbean during the years of slavery. The event will be held in Newton Hall at 4 p.m.

Farming and undocumented workers

Friends of the Rochester Public Library will host a discussion by Tom Rivers, author of “Farm Hands: Hard Work and Hard Lessons from Western New York Fields,” on Tuesday,

May 3. Rivers gives his personal account of planting, tending, and harvesting local crops and looks at the issues of farmers who struggle to find a stable workforce and the mostly undocumented workers they employ. Rivers’ talk will be held at the Central Library’s Kate Gleason Auditorium, at 115 South Avenue, from 12:12 to 12:52 p.m.

Remembering the Holocaust

As part of its annual Holocaust commemoration, the Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester will present a talk by Sally Wasserman on Sunday, May 1. Wasserman, who now lives in Toronto, was saved by a couple who hid her when the Dombrova Ghetto was eliminated. Wasserman’s talk will be held at the JCC, 1200 Edgewood Avenue, at 4 p.m.

An error was made in last week’s paper. The Westboro Baptist Church is located in Topeka, Kansas, not in Massachusetts.

Dining he has taken over two of the three former Spin Caffe locations (739 Park Ave. and 2 State St.). The two new acquisitions make five local shops for Wilton, who owns a Boulder Coffee Company at 955 Genesee St. in Brooks Landing (which is slated to move across the street to 910 Genesee St. in June), one at 100 Alexander St. in the South Wedge, and a third location at the Rochester Public Market. The new Park Avenue location is slated to open in May, while the State Street location is scheduled to open at the end of April.

Bahn-Bahns [ CHOW HOUND ] BY SUSIE HUME

Whether you are a fan of Vietnamese cuisine or just like the portability of a good submarine sandwich, you will be glad to know that Monroe Avenue is now home to a new banh-mi (or Vietnamese sub) restaurant, Whatta-Banh Mi, which opened at the beginning of April. The new restaurant is the second banh-mi joint to open on Monroe Avenue this year, joining Lee’s Vietnamese Sandwiches (982 Monroe Ave.), which opened in February. For those unacquainted with the Asian hoagie, banh-mi (which coincidentally was just added into the Oxford English Dictionary in February) is a product of French colonialism, combining ingredients common in French cuisine like baguette and pate with Vietnamese ingredients like daikon (an Asian radish), pickled carrots, and fish sauce. The resulting sandwich is served on a baguette-like bread (traditionally made with both wheat and rice flour), topped with a variety of vegetables (including the aforementioned daikon and pickled carrots, along with thinly sliced cucumber and fresh cilantro, among others), and including a meat component, often pork. Whatta-Banh Mi offers more than a dozen varieties of the sandwich, from its signature bahn-mi featuring three different types of

ham to sandwiches featuring sardines, pork meatballs, or grilled chicken. All sandwiches are made to order in a Subway-style assembly line that allows customers to choose toppings that are displayed behind plexi-glass. “We really wanted people to see us making the sandwiches, so they can see how fresh everything is,” says owner Jake Pham. “Some places make everything in a closed kitchen and so you don’t see the ingredients they’re using.” The restaurant also offers a variety of appetizers, including egg rolls, spring rolls, and beef, chicken, or pork skewers; brokenrice dishes featuring pork, chicken, or duck; and rice-noodle or vermicelli entrees offered in pork or beef. In addition, the restaurant serves a handful of Vietnamese coffees, espressos, and 15 different varieties boba smoothies (boba referring to the tapioca pearls found in bubble teas), including common choices like strawberry, peach, and kiwi to rarer selections like lychee, honeydew, and durian (a Southeast Asian fruit). Whatta-Banh Mi is located at 673 Monroe Ave. Prices range from $3 to $8. It is open Tuesday-Saturday 11 a.m.-8 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, call 319-4831.

The Central Library yesterday, today, and tomorrow FEATURE | By Michael Lasser

hen people talk about quality of life in Rochester, they routinely mention the parks and the Finger Lakes, the professional sports teams and Geva Theatre, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and the clubs, and all the museums and colleges — and so they should. But there are also essential places that slip beneath the radar. A library, for instance — particularly the Central Library downtown. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t promote itself very much, even though the members of what Library Director Patricia Uttaro calls the public-service staff routinely go out of their way to be helpful to everybody who asks. Competence and consistency aren’t very flashy. At the heart of the matter are a single patron and a single librarian searching together to satisfy a desire or meet a need. Art, Music, and Recreation Division Head Carol Tuzzeo says that, no matter how tough times become, “librarians will continue to help people make connections between the need and the right resource. This is what we do.” Assistant Director Sally Snow adds that librarians and library staff members have to talk to people to find out what they want, and need to know at least something about almost everything. “A woman came in one day to ask about a windmill. She meant a sundial. You have to listen to people and ask the right questions to get to the real question,” she says. Yet librarians do their good work without much fanfare or 12 City april 27 - MAY 3, 2011

of the Central Library’s business division, observes that almost all job applications must now be submitted online. Potential applicants who lack either the computer skills or the equipment typically turn to the library. “A lot of people assume that everybody has a computer, but that’s not the case,” Johnson says. “In tough times, more people come in to do their resumes, but even there we run into complications. We’re teaching people how to do resumes as well as helping them use computers. We’ve even had people come in with their information on floppy discs, so we had to buy a portable disc drive. The main thing is that we’re meeting needs.” certain amount of library

work is pretty prosaic, but Central Library staff members do it in an unusually handsome setting. The 1931 Rundel Building has a strong facade with a mix of neo-classical lines and Art Deco ornamentation. Just inside is one of Rochester’s most beautiful spaces: a high, spacious reading room with rich wood and a beautifully restored stained-glass ceiling (be sure to look up). Across the street, the Bausch and Lomb addition, open since 1997, has comfortable Arts & Crafts appointments inside regardless of what you may think about its architecture. Both places bustle a lot of the time, yet they still invite you to linger and browse to see what you can find. There is always something going on: dozens of people working at some of the 85

computer workstations, others attending a review of a new book or a talk on a current issue, and a gaggle of children and parents listening to a librarian read a new kid’s book aloud. The number of programs in 2009 increased in a single year from 701 to 830, and attendance for them grew by 23 percent to nearly 30,000 people. In addition to the Central Library at South Avenue and Broad Street, there are 10 additional branches scattered through the City and 19 town libraries from Brighton to Webster — all of them constituting the Monroe County Library System. But the Central Library is at the center of the action, the biggest and most diverse of all the libraries. Each year it circulates hundreds of thousands of items — books, DVDs, CDs, even e-books. Through interlibrary loans, the Central Library sends out millions of items to other libraries in the city and county. Yet when I asked Tuzzeo how many items had circulated from her division, she couldn’t tell me. “We don’t keep those kinds of records,” she said, “Nobody’s supposed to know what you choose.” This is a place where only the occasional prying politician or selfappointed caretaker of morality tries to tell you what you can or can’t read, hear, or view. A library is where the First Amendment gets its daily exercise.

last few years despite rising prices for materials and supplies. The staff has had to scramble to stay ahead of heavy use that increases annually. The library has also had to cancel some very expensive annual database updates (for magazines and newspapers, for example) and try to fill the gaps with less costly but also less complete replacements. Uttaro says that the struggle is to figure out how to operate at the same level with “record-breaking usage levels” as aid from the state and county either declines or remains flat. “We could be open 75 hours a week and it still wouldn’t be enough,” she says. It’s hard to imagine a healthy democracy without a thriving, free public library. If any one quality expresses the soul of the place, Sally Snow says, “It’s curiosity — a passion that shapes your life.” Uttaro says something very similar: “It’s the combination of learning and knowledge. A library gives free and easy access to people who want to better themselves. If there’s anything you want to learn, come to the library. It’s one of the last places where nobody is looking over your shoulder.” A noble sentiment, but Snow has the last word as she thinks about the future of libraries, and especially this particular library: “I wish I could harvest a money tree.”

Central Library to cut hours [ NEWS ] BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

When the Central Library cuts its weekly hours from 63 to fewer than 51 this summer, it will represent more than an inconvenience. The reduction will mean that the library is no longer meeting the minimum weekly hours required by the state — 55 hours — to keep its designation as a central library. The reduction in hours is necessary, library officials say, to help close a $500,000 structural gap at the Central Library, driven by rising pension costs and negotiated wage increases for union employees. Officials intend to apply for a waiver from the operating-hours requirement, and Ove Overmyer, president of the library branch of the Civil Service Employees Association, says he’s confident they’ll get it. State officials realize, he says, that you can’t require libraries to meet certain operating hours while funding for libraries continues to dry up. State aid for the Central Library has declined from $372,438 in 2010, to $348,230 in 2011. State aid for the Rochester Public Library branches declined from $88,616 in

2010, to $82,856 in 2011. As it prepares its budget, City Hall has also asked library officials to reduce operating costs for the city branches by $646,000, and there have been discussions about shuttering two branch libraries in the city. The Central Library budget is primarily funded by Monroe County, to the tune of about $6.8 million a year for operating costs and $400,000 annually for computer and technology services. That funding has remained flat for several years. The question is, if the downtown library were to lose its designation as a central library, would the county continue to provide funding? Overmyer says it might not. “They wouldn’t have an obligation to us,” he says. The loss of the “central” designation would also mean the loss of about $450,000 in annual state aid. Those two things combined, Overmyer says, would spell devastation for the downtown library.

UPCOMING SHOWS •

But Overmyer says he’s not worried. The Central Library will get the waiver, he says, and local library officials have gotten good at doing more with less. “I don’t think this is a big issue,” he says. “I think people may be reactionary because of the politics behind the city and county relationship. But I don’t think that fundamentally, services will change all that much, as long as everyone keeps a cool head and tries not to get territorial or political.” A majority of the Central Library’s users — 56 percent — come from outside the city, library officials say. Rochester Public Library Director Patricia Uttaro said through a spokesperson that she is not immediately concerned with the possibility of the Central Library losing its designation. The issues with the branch libraries — the funding cuts and possible closings — are the more immediate concern, she said.

But as hard and violent as the band could play, it also put reggae in the mix. H.R.’s focus with his band Human Rights takes on a slightly mellower tone.

Flash and pizzazz [ review ] by frank de blase

The Coupe de Villes have been cruising this scene for almost 30 years, so when you’re looking for seasoned bar band, look no further than this well-oiled machine. The Coupes rock and roll with the punches associated with being a bar band: drunks, rowdies, sports fans glued to the TV hanging over the band stand, repeated requests for “Free Bird,” — the list goes on. Delayed slightly by the Sabres game Friday night, the Coupes rocked Merchants Grill from the perch in the window. It was a slightly more rockoriented set than usual, with guitarist Tommy Bianchi raving up and down the neck of some super-swell Rock Beach guitars (built right here in Rochester). I thought I went to Elton John’s sold-out show Saturday night at Blue Cross Arena with no expectations. Sir Elton hit the stage with no fanfare and proceeded to rock “Funeral For A Friend.” The sound was great, and John seemed genuinely thrilled to be there. The crowd — which sported the largest number of designer jeans I’ve ever seen in one place — ate it up. I guess I just expected a little more flash and pizzazz, maybe a feather boa here or there. Either way, the songs — particularly “Tiny Dancer,” “Levon,”

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” and “Rocket Man” — are so much a part of our musical lexicon, it was a bit humbling to be in front of the man who wrote them. John’s band, which featured original members from the 1970’s including drummer Nigel Olsson and guitarist Davey Johnstone, was just the right size to maneuver around each song’s shifting dynamics. But this wasn’t just a show from the way-back machine. John dug deep into “The Union,” his recent collaboration with his hero Leon Russell, proving that at 64 the man is still relevant and edgy despite what you may think of his Disney output. I finally got the pizzazz I was searching for — boas and all — when I made it down to Abilene later that night to catch Candye Kane’s second set. Sexy, lean, and mean, it sounds as if Kane’s voice is getting even better as she burns up the road to wail sweet ’n’ salty in assorted gin mills and gas houses. Now, you can’t over shadow Miss Kane, but guitarist Laura Chavez got her share of hoots and hollers as she strangled the twang out of her Strat. The music was pure juke-joint bliss and a bit of a call to arms. Kane encouraged everyone to go home, burn a blues CD, give it to a kid, and change their life.

His past isn’t the least bit checkered, but Rochester rocker Dan Armbruster wants to leave it behind him. His new band, Joywave, has been steadily gaining traction and slowly emerging from the shadows of his previous endeavors, The Hoodies and Vice Grip. And aside from the lineup — Armbruster, guitar/vocals; Sean Donnelly, bass; Joey Morrinelli, keyboards; and Paul Brenner, drums; as well as auxiliary members Andy York (keys) and Mike Miller (guitar) — there are no similarities, or any comparison, between the three projects. Joywave has a lush, more enveloping sound with an epic cadence and rock ’n’ roll tone — something neither The Hoodies nor Vice Grip ever had. “I think this is what we always wanted to do,” says Armbruster, who equates The Hoodies’ pop-punk leanings to high school. “It’s something we almost got stuck doing,” he says. “A lot of kids were coming to our shows. We ran with that awhile, and then re-aligned the music that we wanted to make with the music we enjoyed. We’ve been doing the Joywave thing for about a year now. So far, so good.” 16 City april 27 - MAY 3, 2011

This Joywave “thing” is big and bold, with a hint of Brit pop and atmospheric rock. Where the arrangements take chances, the melody does not. That’s not to say the band isn’t adventurous, but the melodies are simple, catchy, and prevalent. While on the trail that would eventually lead

them to Joywave, Armbruster, Donnelly, and York took what was intended to be nothing more than a comical detour from The Hoodies’ pop/punk sugar to resurrect some New Wave with Vice Grip. The joke was on them, and the band took off completely by accident, according to Donnelly. “It was a massive joke,” he says. “It started as a side, ‘Ha-ha we’re making New Wave’ project before it was a huge trend in popular music.” “Our record came out in Japan, which was cool,” Armbruster says of Vice Grip. “And even then it was a joke. We tried to submit our own artwork; anime versions of all of us over the rising sun. They were like, ‘Oh, this is very good, but we like American things.’” “The whole point was, the ruder we were to fans, the more they came back and loved it,” Donnelly says. “We tried to offend everyone.” Besides attention in the Pacific Rim, Vice Grip did several successful Warped Tour dates in 2008 before hanging it up and refocusing on The Hoodies. “I think the most important thing I learned from The Hoodies would be the value

of melody,” says Armbruster. But he also stresses that what comes out of Joywave isn’t a sound that his previous bands could have handled; they were going to have to go away. Vice Grip served as an interim band, and perhaps more of a launch pad to Joywave. “It was a jumping-off spot,” Donnelly says. “Because we were trying different stuff with music. Granted, some of the stuff we did with Vice Grip was terrible and entirely tongue in cheek. It was terrible on purpose, but we learned a lot about songwriting and not being afraid to try things.” Like what they would go on to try as Joywave. “We kind of threw out everything we had done and I just sat in my basement for eight months and just wrote,” Armbruster says. “And whatever came out came out.” “As far as why this couldn’t happen as the Hoodies,” says Brenner, “these songs are essentially Dan acting his age [26] instead of doing pop-punk.” Because Armbruster, Brenner, and Morinelli

had worked together already, their songwriting dynamic was already in place. It was just everything else that changed. The members found it easier to let in influences that they liked as opposed to those that absolutely belonged. “There’s little bit of everything,” says Armbruster of Joywave’s sound. “There’s a lot of New Wave.” “And anything our dads would listen to that’s not classic rock,” Donnelly says.

“I tend to be in the box about stuff, so I demo things,” Armbruster says. “We start playing it and everyone fixes my bad mistakes or poor understanding of their instrument.” “It’s all blueprinted for us, for sure, before we sit down,” Brenner adds. For the next few months Joywave will hit the studio to pound out its next project, in between regular jaunts to New York City and shows here in Rochester. The band has already released a demo — a mix tape of sorts — out of assorted demos, covers, and samples. It offers an interesting peek under the hood; you can see the gears turning. “We took songs like ‘West End Girls’ by The Pet Shop Boys and ‘Do You Realize??’ by The Flaming Lips,’’ Armbruster says, “and just stole the instrumentals, aligned them, created new songs out of them and put original vocals over the top.” Perhaps this is a little controversial, but this is simply Joywave wearing its heart on its sleeve. Brenner steps in to justify and clarify. “Rappers can do it,” he says. And though the band balances its time between creating in the studio and performing live, the members are somewhat divided as to where Joywave really shines. Armbruster favors the studio. “I think writing music is probably the easiest part,” he says. Brenner is all about the show. “To answer what Joywave’s about,” he says, “you’ve got to see us live. There, the whole thing flows.”

AMERICANA/ROCK | John Popper and the Duskray Troubadours

Not as flashy or riff-centric as Blues Traveler, John Popper and The Duskray Troubadours is more than a simple detour from Popper’s main flame. On the band’s eponymous debut album, Popper is a team player, even taking a back seat to songs that cruise mellow and steady in a lazy summer kind of way. It’s obvious Popper can do a lot, as illustrated in his trademark demonic diatonic diatribes, but he is also seasoned enough to abide. Lisa Bouchelle also performs.

CLASSICAL | Chinese Choral Society of Rochester

While the only azaleas in bloom at the moment are the potted ones at local nurseries, the Chinese Choral Society of Rochester’s concert will hopefully herald this year’s late arrival of spring. On Saturday, join CCSR for its 28th annual concert, this one a centennial tribute to the music of Chinese composer Huang Youdi (1912-2010). Youdi composed the piece “Azaleas in Bloom” in 1941 to depict a maiden awaiting the return of a soldier from WWII by wearing an azalea. The concert features guest performers Ai-Ze Wang, soprano, and Kaihong Liu, zither. CCSR will be led by its music director, Dr. Pi-Lin Ni, and accompanied by Cherry Tsang, piano. Chinese Choral Society of Rochester performs Saturday, April 30, 7:30 p.m. at Pittsford-Sutherland High School, 55 Sutherland St., Pittsford. $4-$6. 377-0063, CCSRMusic.com. — BY PALOMA CAPANNA Eastman Rochester Chorus and Eastman School Symphony Orchestra.

ROCK | O.A.R.

The story of O.A.R. (Of A Revolution) reads like a dream, where everything appears to fall perfectly into place. Eighth-graders Marc Roberge (vocals, guitar), Richard On (guitar), and Chris Culos (drums) form a band in 1996. In 11th grade, Benj Gershman (bass) joins the group and the friends enroll at Ohio State University, where Jerry DePizzo (saxophone) completes the line-up. A steady rise in momentum propels O.A.R. to hit the Billboard charts in 2001 and to sell out Madison Square Garden in 2006. Methodically, the group’s songs are licensed for sports, entertainment, and charitable advertising. Finally, O.A.R. becomes an elite rock band complete with its own environmental initiative, Green Dream, and foundation (Heard the World). Will one of these guys grow up to be president?

The cast of Blackfriars’ “Tommy.” PHOTO BY SHARON VANEZANDE

Bumper crop “The Who’s Tommy” Through May 14 Blackfriars Theatre, 795 E. Main St. $25-$27 | 454-1260, bftix.com [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK

For the final production of its 2010-2011 season, Blackfriars Theatre selected “Tommy,” the stage adaptation of The Who’s 1969 rock opera. It’s an ambitious show, featuring 17 actors in multiple roles, a five-piece rock band screaming out the familiar tunes, and vibrant and inventive sets and costumes that raise the bar for local theater. All of those elements help to overcome the play’s flaws, and make for an entertaining night of stage spectacle. “Tommy” is set between 1940 and 1963, and chronicles what happens to the young boy of the title after he witnesses his father murder a man in self-defense. His parents impress upon Tommy that he didn’t see anything and he didn’t hear anything, and their coping mechanism works too well — Tommy retreats into a fugue state, unwilling or unable to speak, hear, or see. While Tommy’s parents take him to a variety of doctors to find a cure, and even pay a visit to a drug-addicted gypsy with less-conventional healing methods, even more horrors befall the young boy, who cannot tell anyone of his repeated victimizations. In all honesty, it is hard to watch at times. Salvation comes from an unlikely source, a pinball machine Tommy finds at a local 22 City april 27 - may 3, 2011

rec center. Despite his apparent handicaps, Tommy is a genius-level player and soon gains fame for his skills behind the paddles. He remains out of step with the world until his mother performs a critical piece of redecorating, and after a now-adult Tommy snaps out of his waking coma; he parlays his press coverage, pinball wizardry, and the fanciest bedazzled motorcycle helmet you have ever seen into a kind of messianic movement. Yes, it’s weird. But so were the 60’s. Director Jack Haldoupis never lets the show

slow down for a second — there’s barely even time for applause. I was getting exhausted watching the actors sprint through the complicated opening sequence, donning multiple outfits (I cannot imagine the number of costume changes in this production), performing several group dance numbers, moving set pieces in and out, and singing almost the entire time. It’s incumbent upon the audience to pay close attention to all of the little moments Haldoupis works into the staging (he establishes Cousin Kevin’s nasty ways a few scenes before the actor, Michael Radi, even speaks), a task made harder given the outstanding, ever-changing set. The set on its face seems somewhat simple: two levels, split into five compartments each, all 10 portals covered with curtains of dangling white thread. Actors and props come in and out of almost every one (some of the actors had to fight with tangled threads on opening night), but

when they’re not moving they make a brilliant backdrop for the outstanding light projections by Ron Heerkens, Jr. They are a near-constant presence in this show and encompass a wide variety of styles and processes, from photorealistic shots to moving graphics to pop-artstyle pastiches. No hyperbole here: I have never seen theater projections used as thoughtfully and inventively as they are used in “Tommy.” The show sounds amazing, too, thanks to the band featuring conductor-keyboardist Andy Pratt, guitarists Vinnie Ruggiero and Simon Fletcher, bassist Dave Ellison, and drummer Aaron Staebell. They shred through the songs (which tend to be awfully repetitive, it must be said), and personally I prefer this band and cast’s energetic version of “Pinball Wizard” to the original. However, there is an irony in the repeated utterings of the lyric, “Tommy, can you hear me?” Because for most of the first act, I could not hear many of the singers, even actors with some of the biggest pipes in Rochester. They were drowned out by the band. This issue seemed to be corrected during intermission, and by Act II everyone came through loud and clear, especially in the lovely final number, “Listening to You.” The “Tommy” cast is filled with excellent local actors and singers, all of whom acquit themselves well. It is an undeniable star turn for Dan Howell, who plays adult Tommy. I’ve seen Howell in supporting roles in several Blackfriars shows, but he rises to the challenge of a demanding lead role, commanding the stage, singing strongly, and setting the tone for the production. Janine Mercandetti and J. Simmons play Tommy’s parents, and although the band drowned out a chunk of their songs in the first act on opening night, after the problem was fixed they absolutely cooked on the duet “I Believe My Own Eyes” and in Mercandetti’s solo, “Smash the Mirror.” Simmons also contributed a nice bit of fight choreography early in the show. Nicholas D. Rogers plays a deeply unlikable character in Uncle Ernie, but impresses with his well-trained voice on “Tommy’s Holiday Camp.” Laura Marron vamps it up during “Acid Queen,” and Michael Radi brings swagger to Cousin Kevin, especially when leading the ensemble through the iconic “Pinball Wizard” number. A final note on the costumes, also designed by Haldoupis. With something like “Tommy” it’s easy to go cartoonish, but instead Haldoupis has created garments that clearly harken back to the time periods, but still somehow look modern. That’s true of the show in general. While it is undeniably tied to the psychedelic 60’s in plot and sound, this production is sleek, sophisticated, and engaging, even with its somewhat baffling ending.

ART | “Drawing, Sawing, and Other Sibling Revelries”

Sometimes, creative-types are the pariah of the family, but such is not the case in the Duggan household, which produced award-winning artist siblings Lynn and Lee Duggan. Lynn is the beloved jewelry and metalsmithing professor at Nazareth College, whose gorgeously crafted and symbolic work reflects her interest and involvement in women and gender studies. She was the force behind this year’s “Torch Song: The Metalsmith Invitational” exhibition at Nazareth, which included work by Albert Paley, Chris Irick, Victoria Moore, and Graham Carson, among other notable smiths. Her older brother, Lee, is an illustrator, designer, and art director based in Alpharetta, Georgia, who is known for his anthropomorphic and expressive animal characters, including TW, the Turtle Wax Turtle. Through May 7, you can view a joint exhibition by the talented two, entitled, “Drawing, Sawing, and Other Sibling Revelries” at Nazareth College Arts Center Colacino Gallery (4245 East Ave.). The Colacino Gallery is open Wednesday-Saturday, noon-5 p.m., and admission is free.

FESTIVAL | Sheep Shearing Festival

As the weather improves, the fresh air beckons, and we eagerly shrug off the winter swaddle we’ve spent months cocooned in. But we’re not the only ones. This Saturday, April 30, the Springdale Farm (700 Colby St. in Ogden) will host its annual Sheep Shearing Festival. The event includes sheepshearing demonstrations, free haircuts for kids, weaving and dyeing demonstrations, a petting zoo, wagon rides, crafts, and a birthday party for Ricky the pig. To add an irresistible factor to the event, Springdale recently announced the birth of piglets and lambs (pictured). The festival takes place 10 a.m.-3 p.m., and admission is free for children under age 2, $4 for seniors and kids ages 2-11, and $5 for adults. Owned by Monroe County and operated by Heritage Christian Services, Springdale Farm is an agriculturaleducation facility that serves as a day program site for adults with developmental disabilities who care for the plants and animals, maintain the beautiful farm grounds, and welcome more than 40,000 visitors each year.

worked at Harrisburg Area Community College. They began collabing and “quickly realized that their styles meshed pretty well, almost becoming a third persona,” says Lehman. Thus The Huckle Buckle Boys were born. Lehman visited the two and viewed the work, and knew he wanted to bring it to Rochester. Dorsett is a prolific artist who has worked

[ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

When it comes to presenting fun, exciting shows by fresh talents, count on 1975 Gallery. Its newest offering comes from two artists from the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania area, who gallery owner Erich Lehman knew from his highschool years. “Both guys were always hilarious ‘personalities,’ everyone generally knew both of them,” he says. Garrick Dorsett and Zack Rudy, a.k.a. The Huckle Buckle Boys, have filled the traveling gallery’s frequent digs, South Avenue’s Surface Salon, with bright, sassy collaborative paintings and drawings that are, after the recent winter that seemed never to end, a very welcome jolt of humor and life. At the exhibit’s reception, Dorsett and Rudy proved similar in person to their aesthetic: irreverent and brash, yet approachable and hilarious. The two have been collaborating for six months now, and they don’t waste time — this is their third show together. Seeds of this exhibit were first sown after Dorsett reunited with Rudy this past autumn, when they both

in photo, paint, and stained glass, among other media, and his website presents nostalgic, touching portraits of people and miscellany. Rudy’s art background is also mixed and includes illustration, graffiti, oils, and realism. Their artistic partnership has benefited Rudy because, like many artists, he tends to be head-down-antisocial when working, he said at the April 8 opening reception. “We want to bring comedy and juxtaposition” to our viewers, and speak of “things that might seem light at first but have depth as you get into it.” The duo came up with the idea of the world of “Animal Obscura,” “odd creatures, mythical beasts, all with such densely hidden meanings,” says Lehman, “that I was still learning the stories behind some of the pieces during the opening, giving them new life beyond the initial, ‘This is hysterical!’ reaction.” “It only took about two days for our style separation to fade,” says Rudy. “There are a lot of collabs where you can easily point out who did what part,” says Lehman, “but I felt it was much harder with this body of work, which I loved.”

The work is rendered in spray paint, paint markers, acrylics, and more; it is colorful and cartoon-y, populated with deranged-looking, misfit fauna that seem more and more familiar the more you look, and rife with subtleties and I-see-what-you-did-there puns. Both of Dorsett’s labels for the work — “controlled chaos” and “mental throwup” — ring true, but they’re funny, with an unexpected vulnerability, like many people. “Ivory Pride” is a mammoth painting of a snooty elephant paired with the words “Ivory is expensive,” coming with the irony that tusks are useful, but ivory is only worth something to humans, and in order to harvest it, the beast gets a bullet. Ivory is misspelled many times, and crossed out, an aspect that reminded me of painter Jean-Michel Basquiat, who would strike out words in order to bring the viewer’s attention to them. The work is “fun, it’s irreverent, it’s

whimsical, and it just makes the viewer feel...happy,” says Lehman. “It’s densely layered with hidden words and phrases, inside jokes and turns of phrase that send the meaning of the piece in totally new directions.” A patchwork pachyderm titled “Patchy” shares space with the struckout works “never forget,” “I am always afraid,” and the non-crossed-out “I hate mice,” next to a couple little mice heads. One drawing entitled “Lazy Mutt” contains a round and unimpressed little bulldog, staring out at you sarcastically while it asks, “Why would you think I want to go for a walkie?” My art date and I made a pact to buy one each of the diptych “We’re Definitely Making it Upstream this Year,” but alas, the piece had sold before the opening. Each of the two panels holds a trout in a bear suit, pointing a claw knowingly at one another. But we quickly found other works we loved equally as well. My mother said she needed to get out of the gallery before she dropped bank on “Guns & Soup,” a square piece with a coiled and frightened rodent surrounded by the scrawled word “Rat-a-tat-tat-rata-tooie.” I snagged it for her as soon as she left. “Ultimately, it was the light-hearted and care-free body of work that Rochester needed after such a brutal winter,” says Lehman. “For anyone who got to experience the roadshow that is Garrick and Zack in person, you can see why I love them so.” The show did well — when I returned to show yet another friend, many of the works had sold. And I get it; I too wanted a warped little ray of sarcastic sunshine to come grace my walls.

LECTURE/SPECIAL EVENT | Daniel Ellsburg Film & Skype Talkback

In this marvel-filled, modern world of Wikileaks, we’ve reinforced our justifiable doubt in the words, apparent actions, or motivations of our politicians, military, and world leaders. But it’s always been an iffy thing to put any real faith in leaders; the public at large has never been privy to their real motivations, and the ongoing-empire ends have never justified the brutal means. Taking this into account, the simple act of telling the truth can be a daunting task when the truth is not really desired by a half-asleep public, nor permitted to be told by a secretive state. Despite the dangers involved in forcing transparency, some individuals muster up the courage to do the right thing. We can learn much from such a conscience-led, whistle-blower extraordinaire as Daniel Ellsburg, the man whose actions contributed greatly to ending the Vietnam War, and who is the subject of a documentary to be screened this weekend. On Sunday, May 1, at 2 p.m., WXXI will hold a screening of clips from the Point-of-View documentary “The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers” at the WXXI studios (280 State St.). The title of the documentary is drawn from the label placed on Ellsburg by Henry Kissinger (who is STILL advising world leaders), after Ellsburg released the Pentagon Papers to the news media in 1971. The resultant firestorm from their release put Ellsberg on trial, furthered American’s disenchantment with the war, and wrapped up Nixon’s tenure in office. The screening will be followed by a group discussion with Daniel Ellsberg himself via Skype, and with Simon Kilmurry, executive director of American Documentary, the nonprofit media organization which produces the POV series, who will be present in WXXI’s studio. This event is free, but reservations are required. Call 258-0200, or visit wxxi.org for more information. For more on Ellsberg, visit ellsberg.net/bio. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Tales for Tots.

LIT | Tea Obreht Reading

The cliché is that only age begets wisdom, but this is clearly not true in every instance. Sometimes, a young life filled with wandering, wondering experience will provide evidence of its grasp of this complicated, crushingly beautiful existence. Such is the case with author Téa Obreht, whose “The Tiger’s Wife” is a current New York Times bestseller for hardcover fiction. On Friday, April 29, at 7 p.m., Writers and Books (740 University Ave.) will host a reading by Obreht. At age 25, Obreht is the youngest of The New Yorker’s 20 best American fiction writers under 40, and is included in the National Book Foundation’s list of 5 Under 35. The Ithacabased author was born in 1985 in the former Yugoslavia, and spent her childhood in Cyprus and Egypt before immigrating to the United States in 1997. Rambling and reflection doubtlessly contributed to her creation of such a profound examination of necessary myth, grief, survival, and love. “The Tiger’s Wife” follows the knotted story threads of Natalia Stefanovi, a doctor who cares for orphans after a genocidal war, and the fantastical stories her recently departed grandfather told her. Attend the reading for $6 ($4 if you’re a W&B member). For more information, call 473-2590 or visit wab.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Shana Lynott 428-8264. Tue 1111:30 a.m., Thu 6-6:30 p.m. Free.

RECREATION | Flower City Challenge

Couch-potato season is over! This weekend, you can prime your muscles and get your heart pumping while you tour the scenic neighborhoods and landmarks of Rochester. The second annual Rochester Flower City Challenge takes place Saturday-Sunday, April 30-May 1, and includes four different athletic events that accommodate practiced runners, casual joggers, and the loads of people who fall somewhere in between. The River Challenge Duathlon takes place Saturday, April 30, at 7:30 a.m., and begins with a 5K run through the Genesee Valley Park. The race continues with a 20-mile bike ride along a course through the south of the city into Scottsville, and back up again to the Genesee Valley Park for a final 5K run through the park. Also on Saturday at 7:30 a.m., the River Challenge Paddle Triathlon challenges participants to the first two legs of the Duathlon, as well as an element on the Genesee River. After the bike ride, hop into a canoe or kayak and head for the Ford Street Bridge, and then paddle back to the park to complete a three mile ride. The Unity Health System Rochester Flower City Half-Marathon, which takes place Sunday, May 1, at 7:30 a.m., takes runners down city streets, through scenic neighborhoods and into public parks. You’ll pass Frontier Field, the Rochester Museum and Science Center, and George Eastman House, through the East End, down Park Avenue, through Highland Park, though Mount Hope Cemetery, and loop around the University of Rochester, over the Frederick Douglass-Susan B. Anthony Memorial Bridge, over Exchange Boulevard and back to the Blue Cross Arena and cheering fans. Finally, the Wegmans Family 5K takes place Sunday, May 1 at 7:50 a.m., and is a tour of Center City from Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial, passing the Susan B. Anthony House, Frontier Field, and Kodak Tower, South Avenue, and back to the Arena. Awards are available for all events for overall top finishers and top age group finishers. Shy about going the distance by yourself? The Duathlon and Triathlon offer the opportunity to compete as a relay team with as many as three of your friends. If you’re not interested in the active part, but still want to take part, consider volunteering, and email ellen@ fleetfeetrocheter.com for more info. The Kidz Zone, hosted by the Bay View YMCA, will feature an inflatable playground to keep them safe and occupied while you run. Registration fees for events vary from $20 to $125, depending on what event you choose and if you team up with others, and how early you register. Participants must register in person at Fleet Feet Sports (2210 Monroe Ave.) for the River Challenge Du/Tri by April 29, and registration for the May 1 halfmarathon and 5K will also be available on race day at the race site.

SPECIAL EVENT | Hochstein “A Night in the Big Easy”

One problem with the fact that resource isn’t evenly distributed is that many children’s dreams and talents pass silently under the radar, all that potential lost to time and indifference. But you can help a would-be artist afford to embark on his or her path by taking part in an upcoming fundraiser in support of need-based scholarships for Hochstein School of Music and Dance.

3047 W. Henrietta Rd. Henrietta Townline Plaza | 475-1111 www.tasteofindiarochester.com

Stroll the sidewalks of “New Orleans” to the tunes of the Po’Boys Brass Band and encounter the street artist, fortune teller, sultry torch singer, and enjoy traditional Creole food and drinks from the cash bar. Visit the Big Easy Zoo (Hochsteinstyle), partake in a scavenger hunt and mini-auction. Dress to impress: the most creative get-up wins a prize. The event kicks off at 7 p.m., and tickets cost $75.

Love, the circus, and Rosie the elephant [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“Water for Elephants” (PG-13), directed by Francis Lawrence Now playing

Those millions of fans of Robert Pattinson, the teen vampire heartthrob of the “Twilight” series, probably look forward to his starring role in “Water for Elephants” with a sense of eager anticipation. The character he plays in the new movie differs considerably from the pallid post-adolescent Edward Cullen, who for three whole pictures gallantly refrains from deflowering Bella Swan and making her one of the undead. No longer a vampire, Pattinson

nevertheless maintains an admirable consistency in “Elephants,” turning in an utterly flat, dull, and — dare I say it? — bloodless performance. Based on a best-selling novel, which I am now happy I have not read, the film proceeds as an extended flashback, a memory narrated in voiceover by an elderly man, Jacob Jankowski (Hal Holbrook). He tells the story of his time working in the Banzini Brothers Circus as a young man in the depths of the Great Depression. As the film opens up to the past, the voice of Robert Pattinson takes over the narration and he enters the story as the young Jacob, and we’re stuck with him the rest of the way. As he tells it, just as he starts writing his final examination in veterinary medicine at Cornell University, Jake’s parents perish in an automobile accident, leaving him destitute and alone. Like millions of others in the 1930’s he decides to ride the rails and hops on the Banzini Circus train, an act that creates his destiny — as he says, he doesn’t know if he picked the train or if the train picked him.

The film then settles into two related plots, one showing the process of Jake’s initiation into the ways of circus life and circus folk, the other his relationship with the beautiful Marlena (Reese Witherspoon), the star of the circus and the wife of the owner, August (Christoph Walz). Jake’s veterinary training convinces the capricious and ultimately psychopathic August to hire him to care for the animals, including Marlena’s horses. When August acquires Rosie, an elephant that nobody can train, Jake accidentally discovers that she understands Polish, which helps make an act with Rosie and Marlena the new star attraction and creates profits for the struggling business. The simple story moves in a most predictable manner, combining in its plot three closely related subjects — Jake’s growing acceptance into the fraternity of circus people, the progress of Jake’s and Marlena’s love, and the development and success of the elephant act. The inherent fascination of the movie’s highly detailed and most authentic background, the gritty context of a struggling second-rate circus in the midst of the Great Depression, provides considerably more appeal, however, than the relationship of the two young lovers. Presumably influenced by the box-office success of the “Twilight” flicks, the choice of Robert Pattinson to star opposite Reese Witherspoon may indeed attract the youthful audiences who constitute the great contemporary

Three more from the film festival [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

360 | 365 George Eastman House Film Festival Through Monday, May 2 film360365.com

What’s that? Last week’s preview of a dozen 360 | 365 flicks wasn’t enough for you? You people are demanding. But if you’re not happy, I certainly can’t be happy. So here you go... Hollywood desideratum. Their pairing, the ferociously bleached and blanched Witherspoon embracing the listless Pattinson, actually amounts to bland meeting insipid. The poor elephant generates more chemistry than the star couple. Though appearing a trifle more rubicund than in his vampire days, Pattinson retains the whispery monotone, the limited range of facial expressions, and the remarkable passivity of his bloodsucking background. Apparently to capitalize on the dubious appeal of his uninteresting visage, the camera constantly shows his unconvincing reactions to numerous instances of circus drollery. Except for all the forced smiles, he mostly looks sad and uncomfortable in his character, perhaps longing for the days when he flew through the misty forests of the great Northwest. Robert Pattinson actually belongs with the long parade of Hollywood androgynes, epicene young men who appeal strongly to prepubescent and pubescent girls, allowing them to express vociferously to one another their position on the precipice of maturity without in any way presenting any kind of sexual threat. He now occupies a special place alongside such figures from the recent past as David Cassidy, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, and the leader of the pack, Michael Jackson. Aside from that point of minor interest, very little beyond the depiction of the circus and the 1930’s recommends “Water for Elephants.” I hope the book was better.

“Summer Pasture”

For the last 4,000 years nomads have existed on the lush, rolling grasslands of Eastern Tibet, with little interference from the modern technology and Western culture that inform much of the world around them. But, as has been the case with many societies rooted in centuries and centuries of tradition, so-called progress is proving harder to avoid as parents hope to secure futures for their children. “Summer Pasture” is one of those graceful nonfiction pieces, a la 2009’s “Sweetgrass,” that pays homage to a vanishing way of life, quietly acknowledging the ever-present human need to adapt or die.

Andreas Lust in “The Robber,” screening this weekend as part of the 360 | 365 George Eastman Film Festival.

Co-directors Lynn True, Nelson Walker III, and Tsering Perlo probably couldn’t have chosen a more charming family to tell this universal story. Locho and Yama keep a herd of yaks, with wife Yama additionally doing the lion’s share of the housework and caring for their still-unnamed infant daughter. (They call their roly-poly little beauty “pale, chubby girl.”) We watch as this loving couple ekes out both a life and a living with the blessings of faith, nature, and a wicked shared humor, the dopey-sweet Locho confirming that the unwell yet tireless Yama “is the generator around here.” But their desire to school their daughter in town means that the ancient nomadic existence will no longer be possible, making “Summer Pasture” a sad but hopeful elegy. (In Tibetan with English subtitles; screens Friday, April 29, Nazareth Arts Center, 7 p.m.) “The Woodmans”

Francesca Woodman understood her precocious gift for photography, boldly incorporating her naked body into her ethereally achromatic images, but the ambitious young woman was impatient for the contemporary art world to recognize her brilliance as well. A few years after her 1981 suicide at the age of 22, they did. And while “The Woodmans” explores Francesca’s short life and work through interviews with her inside circle along with Francesca’s own lyrical diary entries, the gorgeously haunting documentary also paints a bittersweet portrait of an unconventional family clearly still struggling to come to terms with a heartbreaking tragedy. “The Woodmans” spends most of its running time with Francesca’s parents, Betty and George, successful artists in their own rights who came from very different backgrounds but found a common passion in creativity and encouraged Francesca and her brother Charles to pursue their own self-expression. Betty and George recall their intensely driven daughter with obvious parental pride and an unmistakable

smattering of professional jealousy, with George’s work after Francesca’s death eerily attempting to mimic her unique style. But, unsurprisingly, the most insight found in “The Woodmans” comes from Francesca herself, whose journals depict a preternatural talent driven by the very same blend of fearlessness and fragility that would ultimately doom her. (Screens Saturday, April 30, Dryden, 1:15 p.m.) “The Robber”

It’s doubtful that even the most creative minds in filmdom could have dreamt up the strange-but-true story of Austria’s Johann Kastenberger, a record-setting long-distance runner who knocked over banks in his spare time. Based on the 2008 novel by Martin Prinz, Benjamin Heisenberg’s gripping psychological thriller “The Robber” stars the creepily stone-faced Andreas Lust (Götz Spielmann’s “Revanche”) as the title character, essentially picking up as the ex-con Rettenberger (so renamed in the name of narrative liberties) resumes his dual life of winning marathons and stealing other people’s money. The classic tale of the adrenalin junkie and his dragon-chasing hunt for a higher high, “The Robber” is anchored by the unsettling performance of Lust, who underplays so completely that the drama is provided not really by what he does but by everything he might be capable of. The romantic subplot, however, is weak; Franziska Weisz portrays the love interest as a lonely victim, occasionally derailing the action as we puzzle over the attraction on his end. Because Rettenberger is somehow both a cliché and a cipher all at once; his compulsion to run is symbolic as well as just plain practical, lending itself to some pulse-pounding action sequences as Rettenberger puts his well-honed agility to riskier and riskier use. (In German with English subtitles; screens Saturday, April 30, Nazareth Arts Center, 8 p.m.)

50 Audubon Street

As the last piles of dirty snow finally succumb, the city awakens from winter slumber. Walking shoes are dusted off, long-neglected gardens are attended, and people venture out in search of a food, entertainment and culture. Nowhere in Rochester is this awakening more apparent than in the trendy Park Avenue neighborhood. Built in 1920, 50 Audubon Street has the advantage of being close to the Park Avenue action, while still distant enough to be surrounded by the quiet leafy embrace of a peaceful city neighborhood. On a corner lot with a large, fenced-in front lawn, this house boasts plenty of shade and a spacious driveway. The main entrance, on the side, retains the original sturdy front door, while the spacious front entranceway makes a bold, welcoming statement, with wide-open spaces, gleaming hardwood floors and a staircase with original banister. Flanking the foyer are the living and dining rooms. Both rooms are lined with large windows that let in plenty of light to brighten up the large spaces. The living room features wooden built-in cabinets and shelves which frame a functioning wood-burning fireplace. This space has a nice symmetry that would be very conducive to large furniture.

all part of the thematically consistent kitchen. Any new owner will enjoy the opportunity it offers to imprint his or her own personal touches to the space. An additional bonus feature found within the house is a powder room located just off the kitchen. The second floor has three large bedrooms, all with original hardwoods and plenty of closet space, and an updated full bath. The master bedroom boasts plenty of square footage, stretching the entire front length of the house. It also has an attached sleeping porch which would make a perfect sanctuary for relaxing on warm days and allows for enough privacy to feel at ease late into the evening. A real highlight of the house is the third floor. Most of this attic space has been recently finished and tastefully decorated. This space includes both a full bath with stall shower and a small kitchenette. With the original windows letting in plenty of sunshine, this is a very comfortable area with lots of possibility. 50 Audubon Street has approximately 1,559 square feet of living space and is listed at $164,900. Tours can be arranged by contacting Roy Tompkins of RE/MAX Plus at 585-218-6803. For more information and photographs, visit http://rochestercityliving.com/property/R150245.

The formal dining room opens up to a fully updated, modern kitchen. Stainless steel countertops and appliances, a black-andwhite checker floor, and updated lighting are

A tank and several armored vehicles with dozens of SWAT officers and a bomb robot rolled into a generally quiet Phoenix neighborhood on March 21, startling the residents. Knocking down a wall, deputies raided the home of Jesus Llovera, who was “suspected” of running a cockfighting business, and, indeed, 115 chickens were found inside, but Llovera was alone and unarmed, and his only previous connection to cockfights was a misdemeanor conviction in 2010 for attending one. “We’re going to err on the side of caution,” said Sgt. Jesse Spurgin. Adding to neighbors’ amazement was the almost-fanciful sight — riding in the tank — of actor Steven Seagal, who had brought his “Lawman” reality TV show to Phoenix.

The Entrepreneurial Spirit — Product Giveaways: (1) New signups for higher-end Dish satellite TV systems at the Radio Shack in Hamilton, Mont., also receive free Hi-Point .380 pistols or 20-gauge shotguns (after passing a background check, paid for by the store). The owner said his business has tripled since introducing the premium in October. (2) Bobblehead dolls may be popular baseball giveaways, but as part of the local “Green Sports Alliance” demonstrating concern for the environment, the Seattle Mariners announced in March that for several games this season, fans would get free bags of compost (made from food and other items discarded at Mariners games). — It started as a class project at Brown University, but after a launch party on March 19 (and a sold-out

first run of 500), Julie Sygiel’s Sexy Period menstrual-leak-fighting panties are on sale ($32 to $44, depending on the style -- “cheeky,” “hipster” or “bikini”). Sygiel said “sexy” is less to suggest sensuality than to help women cope with the time of the month when they feel “not at (their) best. We want to banish that moment.” — A Chinese Capitalist’s Learning Curve: In the early hours of the destruction at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant in March, rumors abounded that millions of people might need iodine products to fight off radiation. A restaurateur named Guo in Wuhan, China, seeing the price of iodized table salt rise dramatically, cleverly cornered a market with 4 1/2 tons of it, trucked to his home, where it filled half the rooms. According to a March 25 China Daily report, the price has returned to pre-Fukushima levels -- much less than what Guo paid, and he can neither return the salt (lacking documentation) nor sell nor transport it (lacking the proper licenses).

Smooth Reactions A suspicious wife (who lives apart from her husband because of work requirements) flew to the couple’s principal home in Wilmette, Ill., on March 4 and, finding her husband’s new girlfriend’s clothes hanging in their closet, scissored out the crotch area of all her pants, doing about $2,000 in damage, and leaving the remnants in the driveway before returning to her East Coast home. According to police, neither the husband nor the girlfriend chose to file complaints, and the case is closed.
