Sprawl and the NIMBY issue

Rochester has another “feather to add to our cap” of inefficient, archaic, over-the-top costs of government and development (“One More Point of Shame: We Excel in Sprawl,” Urban Journal).

The problem is, “it’s always somebody else’s problem.”

May I remind the editor of City Newspaper that months ago this paper came out opposed to apartment development on University Avenue? The same old chestnuts of opposition were pranced out, when the fact is that stretch of University Avenue should be packed with people, sidewalk chatter, and all the mess that vibrant cities bring. Multiply that by tens or hundreds of decisions and ensuing uproars and you have the gist of our conundrum: Never make any changes in my backyard!

Climate change and local action

The cover headline of City laments government inaction when it comes to climate change, but in Brighton, we take sustainability seriously. Brighton has signed on to become a Climate Smart Community (“Climate Change: It’s All Up to You”). It may be up to you, as City’s cover states, but in Brighton you’re not in it alone.

Brighton is working hard to become a more walkable, bikeable community. We have completed a Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan, and are planning our first bicycle boulevard. We also plan to reduce South Clinton Avenue from four lanes to three south of Westfall Road, improving bicycle access to the Erie Canal Trail.

We are also developing two major trail projects. Highland Crossing Trail, a joint project with 2 CITY

APRIL 30 - MAY 6, 2014

the City of Rochester, will connect the Erie Canal Trail at the Brighton Town Park on Westfall Road, with the Genesee River Trail, north of the U of R River Campus. This trail will provide access to downtown Rochester and the River Campus, and will be funded largely through a transportation grant. Second, a trail will be built from Elmwood Avenue near Town Hall through approximately 72 acres of newly acquired parkland to Westfall Road and Buckland Park, making it easier for families to enjoy this scenic and historically significant parkland in the heart of Brighton and to access Buckland Park.

Brighton will also transform Monroe Avenue, from the 12 Corners to Westfall Road, with a Green Infrastructure project, starting later this year. The project is funded by a $1.6 million New York State Regional Economic Development Corporation grant, and it will improve storm-water performance and enhance Monroe Avenue’s appearance, making the Avenue more attractive to pedestrians and community-scale businesses.

We are also planning Brighton’s sustainable future with a Comprehensive Plan update, funded under the Cleaner, Greener Communities program of the REDC. Brighton also has a volunteer Sustainability Committee, which provides guidance to town officials, and we were the first town in Monroe County to ban fracking and related activities.

Brighton is committed to a sustainable future, for our residents, for our businesses, and for our children, and we are working hard to make it happen.

BILL MOEHLE

Moehle is supervisor of the Town of Brighton.

On “Making the Case for Local Communities to Act on Climate Change”: All of that information

and suggestions for local action was good. But I don’t believe enough change can happen without a federal level carbon tax: a big-enough tax that it can massively reduce the immediate need for personal income taxes.

This will create the incentive for rapid development of alternative energy and reorganization of our physical structure and land-use

arrangements to reduce the need for more energy. Then, we’ll have significant reduction of greenhouse gases.

What can we do to get Congress on board with this idea, when so many of them are funded by the fossil fuel industry?

Democracy, freedom, and lilacs

May I humbly say that Big Money and corruption are not just a Republican problem? (“Democracy for Sale,” Urban Journal). The Democrats have their sugar daddies, too. It’s really a ruling class problem, “Hudge and Gudge” (Big Business and Big Government), as G.K. Chesterton called it in his book, “What’s Wrong with the World.” The Republicrats and the Democans are both to blame.

Also, thank you for warning me about the ever-encroaching, cry-baby, nanny-state, overkill “security” measures this year at my beloved Lilac Festival. Fenced in?

Bag search and show I.D. at the gate? Really? I’ll smell the lilacs and avoid the vendors this year.

There are plenty of festivals around Rochester. I’ll find one where I’m not treated like a prisoner and an animal, thank you very much. What was Ben Franklin’s quote? Those who give up liberty for a little security deserve neither? Eh, he’s a dead white guy, though. What did he know?

Turning left to Monroe

Has it ever occurred to the Monroe Avenue Merchants Association that many of their customers will not be arriving by car? (“Monroe Merchants Fight Inner Loop Plan”) Seriously, Monroe Avenue is already one of the most pedestrianfriendly streets in Rochester.

DONNA

Today you can only turn left at Pitkin, not Howell or Union.

In future you would turn left at Union, not Howell-Pitkin. I don’t see the problem, and I travel this way often. I sure hope they don’t compromise pedestrians or bikes to allow this silly left turn.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Segregation forever It’s probably not a surprise to you, but here’s some news: Americans have turned our back on school integration.

Actually, we turned our back on it a long time ago. This month’s Supreme Court decision on affirmative action policies in Michigan is just the latest evidence.

Affirmative action has helped innumerable minority students get a college education. And universities that have abandoned affirmative action have seen a decline in minority enrollment.

Universities have argued, correctly, that in addition to helping minority students, the diversity that affirmative action provides serves a broader public interest. But much of the country, including the Supreme Court’s majority, has decided that we don’t need affirmative action any more. And so colleges and universities are becoming more segregated, mimicking what has already happened in the lower grades.

And there, the situation is unconscionable.

Across the nation, segregated school districts are the norm. Particularly in metropolitan areas like Rochester, most students in suburban schools are white, and children in urban schools are predominantly African-American and Hispanic. And most of them are poor.

The result: hundreds of thousands of African-American and Hispanic children are getting a very limited education, which will result in a severely limited future. That’s a clear violation of their rights. And it spells big trouble for the United States.

There is abundant evidence that it isn’t the schools or the teachers or the principals that are the problem. It’s concentrated poverty, which creates challenges that are almost impossible for schools to overcome. To accept that evidence, though, would mean integrating our schools, and we’re not about to do that.

And so across the country, state governments, urban school districts, mayors, charter school operators, and business and civic leaders are cheering on a host of experiments.

Standardized tests, tougher standards, public school choice, charter schools, longer school days.... By god, we’ll prove that we can give children a good education without integrating the schools. And off we run after the latest trend.

The big education news a few weeks ago: New York State has the most segregated schools in the entire country. And who in New York has some of the most-segregated schools?

Yes, indeed: Rochester, whose habitually beleaguered school district has followed every conceivable trend. And whose graduation rates, test scores, poverty rate, and racial segregation have gotten worse and worse.

There are individual success stories, to be sure. Some Rochester children excel.

Some of our multiple experiments – in

By god, we’ll prove that we can give children a good education without integrating the schools.” traditional public schools and in charters – will succeed.

But those examples will remain in the minority. There is indisputable evidence that nothing will change on a broad scale until we break up the concentration of poverty in the schools children attend.

Right now, every child attending a traditional Rochester public school attends a school where most children are poor.

Every single one.

The lowest poverty rate among the elementary schools is at School 23 in the Park Avenue area. That’s a mostly affluent, mostly white neighborhood. But School 23’s student population is 34 percent white, and 62 percent poor. The poverty rate in most Rochester elementary schools is in the 80’s or 90’s – and at School 9 on North Clinton Avenue, the rate is a pure 100 percent.

Among the high schools, the lowestpoverty schools are School of the Arts (66 percent poverty) and Wilson Magnet (79 percent). All the others are in the 80’s and 90’s, with Monroe at the top (94).

If you believe that concentrated poverty doesn’t doom a school district and its children, I guess you figure statistics like that are irrelevant. But if you believe that to give Rochester’s children the education they deserve, we have to break up the concentration of poverty, it’s hard to have any hope.

Those numbers are hard facts. Giving all Rochester children a good education can’t be done within the city alone. We’ll have to integrate city and suburban students. And almost nobody is willing to do that.

School integration, after all, was a remedy for the 1950’s.

Reforms rejected

Legislature Republicans blocked a Democratic measure that would have prohibited county employees from working for local development corporations for two years after leaving their job.

Democrat Cynthia Kaleh introduced the legislation in response to ongoing scandals involving county-linked local development corporations.

Casino shopping

The potential West Coast buyers of the former Odenbach Shipyard in Greece have been in contact with an unnamed casino developer interested in locating at the site, reports the Democrat and Chronicle. The potential buyers have already released their concept for a retail complex at the site, the article says. But the site will need significant pollution cleanup work.

District sharing space with charter

The Rochester school board voted in favor of subleasing the third floor of 690 St. Paul Street to True North Preparatory Charter School for $178,125 annually. The fifth floor may be subleased for the same amount, if needed. The location

has been a source of controversy because it is a Brownfield cleanup site. The state’s Department of Environmental Conservation website shows that measures have been taken to mitigate potential problems.

Home sales plummet

Home sales dropped by more than 11 percent in Monroe County during the first quarter of 2014 compared to this time last year, according to the State Association of Realtors. The dramatic slide was seen throughout the state. Severe winter weather may to blame, though the news is not all bad. The median sale price of a home in Monroe County rose slightly to $124,950.

The Eastman School of Music is expanding its performance offerings in its 2014-15 season, adding a new series that will include comedian Jason Alexander, Broadway star Bernadette Peters, and the Vienna Boys Choir.

The new series, named Eastman Presents, will also include appearances by pianist Peter Serkin, the Kodo Drummers, and Cuban jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval.

Tony Award winner Jason Alexander — perhaps best known for his role as George Costanza on “Seinfeld” — opens the series on October 17. The programs will take place at Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre, once a month, with the exception of January, through April.

The new series is part of the school’s plan to again be “a major presentation venue in the country,” says Keith Elder, the Eastman School’s director of concert activities.

“In the early half of the 20th century, major organizations would come through here. This is strategic to bringing international artists back to Rochester.”

Eastman announced the new series Tuesday, along with the lineup for two of its other series. The four-concert Eastman-Ranlet series in Kilbourn Hall will begin October 5 with the Dover String Quartet.

The series will also include a performance by the Emerson String Quartet and two performances by the Eastman’s quartet-in-residence, the Ying Quartet.

German violinist Christian Tetzlaff will open the Kilbourn Concert Series on September 16.

Also in the Kilbourn series: Gryphon Trio, Third Coast Percussion, and mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe joined by pianist Warren Jones.

Season subscription sales for Eastman Presents, Eastman-Ranlet, and Kilbourn Concerts begin May 2.

They can be bought at the Eastman Theatre Box Office (433 East Main Street), by phone at 454-2100, or online at Eastmantheatre.org. Single tickets go on sale September 2.

“Any plan to rehabilitate East needs to take into account the school’s current reality. Many of East’s students enter ninth grade with low proficiency in math and English, yet they’ll have to pass five Regents exams to graduate.” [ BILL CALA, FORMER INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT OF ROCHESTER CITY SCHOOLS ]

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Skepticism greets big East promises Bill Cala, a former interim superintendent for the Rochester City School District, says a claim that East High’s graduation rate can be raised to 100 percent in a matter of a few years is ludicrous.

And he’s not the only skeptic.

Though a decision on School Turnaround’s proposal to partner with the failing East High School is still pending, there are numerous questions and some skepticism about the proposal.

The State Education Department has ordered Rochester schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas to come up with a plan to fix East by May 15. One of the permitted options is to find an educational partner organization, such as School Turnaround, to take over the school.

School Turnaround, an affiliate of Rensselaerville Institute, specializes in improving failing schools. East’s four-year graduation rate was 33.7 percent for the 2011-2012 school year, according to the State Education Department’s website. Less than 2 percent of East’s students graduated with an advanced Regents diploma that year.

Drug disposal In the first three months of 2014, Monroe County collected approximately 1.55 tons, or 3,099 pounds, of unused prescription drugs.

Prescription drug takebacks began a few years ago when reports surfaced that pharmaceutical chemicals were being detected in many water bodies, including the Great Lakes. Improper disposal of unused medication is seen as a major source of the contamination.

Starting with its first drug takeback event in 2010, the county has collected an average of 7.45 tons a year of discarded pharmaceuticals.

Based on that average, it collected almost 30 tons of pharmaceuticals over a four-year period. The numbers include the county’s two annual takeback events and ongoing collections throughout the year.

But the county isn’t the only local government collecting unused drugs. Earlier this month, during the local Sierra Club’s annual environmental forum, Brighton Town Board member Louise Novros talked about the results from the town’s collection events.

Brighton officials have now held seven events — they happen every six months — and have brought in more than three tons or 6,153 pounds of unused pharmaceuticals, Novros said.

Monroe County and the Town of Brighton both send the collected drugs to an incinerator in the Niagara Falls area. Law enforcement representatives transport the drugs to that location.

DEVELOPMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

Medley’s promise turns to peril When Scott Congel took on Irondequoit’s Medley Centre, he seemed like the perfect candidate to make something happen on the site.

The Congel family business, Pyramid Companies, has built and operated malls across the Northeast, including the thriving Walden Galleria in suburban Buffalo. Officials thought that the Congel name and connections would translate into tenants for Medley and access to financing.

But the property sits idle with no tenants and as far as anyone can tell, no heat, electricity, or security, either. Grass grows through cracks in the pothole-riddled parking lot. A water pipe burst inside the mall earlier this year, which eventually resulted in the town charging Congel’s company, Bersin Properties, with code violations.

The future of Medley Centre has never been as uncertain as it is right now. And the physical decay is just a symptom of much deeper problems. (Attempts to reach Scott Congel for this story were unsuccessful.)

Bersin Properties has an agreement with the Town of Irondequoit, East Irondequoit School District, and Monroe County Industrial Development Agency which allows it to make annual payments far below what it’d ordinarily pay in property taxes.

But as part of the agreement, the developer committed to certain investment targets and penalties for missing them.

Since the developer didn’t meet either last year’s investment target or this year’s payment, it owes approximately $3.8 million to the local governments, which have given Bersin Properties until May 1 to pay up. If the company doesn’t make good, COMIDA will terminate the tax agreement on May 2, an action requested by County Executive Maggie Brooks.

Brooks has also said that if Bersin Properties fails to pay, that the county, COMIDA, the town, and the school district will sue to recover the outstanding costs.

If Bersin loses the agreement, its tax bills will spike. But even if the company does come through with the payment and retains its incentive agreement, it’ll still have to dig itself out of a serious financial hole.

Congel seems to recognize that reality.

In correspondence with Irondequoit officials, Congel has said that his company is prepared to advance a $1 billion hotel, residential, retail, and entertainment project on the Medley site; his original proposal in 2009 was for a $250 million project. But to make that happen, Congel said, the company needs to renegotiate some terms of the tax agreement.

Congel bought Medley Centre in 2007. It would turn out to be atrocious timing.

That same year marked the start of a global financial crisis and recession; banks halted 6 CITY

APRIL 30 - MAY 6, 2014

investments in all manner of commercial property development. Bersin Properties had secured a $135 million loan for the Medley project from Nomura, an international bank based in Japan. But when the market collapsed, Nomura pulled the financing.

Late last week, Bersin Properties filed a lawsuit against Nomura. The suit alleges that Nomura improperly cut off Bersin’s financing and that the bank prematurely called in the $44 million it had advanced to Bersin.

As a result, the Medley Centre project ground to a halt, say lawsuit papers. The company wasn’t able to pay contractors, the filings say, and it lost prospective tenants, including some that had already agreed to lease space in the redeveloped mall. Bersin Properties is seeking a minimum of $100 million in damages from Nomura.

Congel has struggled to secure new financing, though he recently indicated he has a new lender lined up. But to finalize that deal, he says he needs the tax agreement amended to extend investment benchmarks.

Irondequoit officials say they’re reluctant to negotiate new terms when the developer hasn’t lived up to the previous agreement.

But the current standoff may have been preventable. Congel first approached Irondequoit officials about renegotiating the agreement two years ago, before he’d missed any milestones and before he was on the hook for a few million dollars in penalties.

Officials offered him an option: provide some compensation and they’d renegotiate.

But Congel passed.

“Our feeling was that our community needs to be compensated, that we needed to get something out of further consideration to him, because the community was giving him a generous tax break and we’re not required to do that,” says John Abbott, deputy superintendent for the East Irondequoit schools.

Even if Congel’s company manages to make

the May 1 payment deadline, the investment requirements would still pose a problem.

Local officials pushed to include the milestones in Congel’s tax agreement in order to encourage investment without penalizing the developer for adding value to the property. But the milestones are

also meant to discourage inaction, so the penalties for missing them escalate quickly.

The three local governments do not agree on whether Bersin Properties met the first $90 million investment requirement.

But they are all certain he missed last year’s $165 million investment deadline. The $3.5 million penalty was determined by a formula in the tax agreement.

The company needs to prove that it has invested a total of $260 million into the mall by April 30. Since it’s unlikely that the company will meet that benchmark, Bersin could be on the hook for another large penalty payment.

And if the company blows the May 1 deadline, it’ll have to pay full taxes on the mall. Under the tax agreement, Bersin is supposed to pay the local governments $392,381 this year. Irondequoit Supervisor Adam Bello says that with the mall’s current $40 million assessed value, full taxes on the

property would be $1.7 million. The figure includes town, county, and school taxes.

At best, the spike in tax liability will leave Bersin Properties with less money to put into the mall. And any investment that increases the property’s value would also increase its taxes.

If Bersin Properties doesn’t pay those property taxes — and right now this is a hypothetical scenario — the county could foreclose on the property. The developer could also try to sell the mall at any point.

And even if Congel does manage to move the project forward, it’s hard to see a future for the soured Congel-Irondequoit relationship.

State Assembly member Joe Morelle says the best option at this point would be for a new developer to step in. He says he doesn’t have a particular developer in mind and has not talked to anybody directly.

Goodbye, Joe. Hello…?

Monroe County Democrats have some big races ahead of them this year. Louise Slaughter is running for re-election to her Congressional seat, ditto Ted O’Brien in the State Senate. And Gary Pudup, former local director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, is running for the Assembly seat formerly held by Republican Bill Reilich.

Democrats’ toughest election, however, could be the one to select a new party head.

State Assembly member Joe Morelle is stepping down as party leader when his term expires in September. County Democrats will select Morelle’s replacement at their organization meeting the same month.

Over the next few months, leaders of the Monroe County Democratic Committee will undoubtedly spend a lot of time discussing what they want out of the new chair. They say they hope the selection process will be bloodless, but history suggests it could go another way. And with tensions from the 2013 mayoral election lingering, new power struggles or rifts could emerge.

Some of the leaders say they have a general sense of what they’re looking for; they’d like a chair who can pull the party’s different camps together. And they emphasize the increasing importance of suburban and countywide races, while keeping the party’s city base, too. The next leader should also maintain the fund-raising and operational gains achieved under Morelle, they say.

City and suburban leaders need to press the issues important to them, says Anthony Plonczynski, leader of the city’s 21st Legislative District committee.

And different constituencies, including progressives and organized labor, will want a voice in the process, too, he says.

“Folks want to feel like they have had some involvement in making this happen,” says Allan Richards, leader of the city’s 23rd Legislative District committee.

But party leaders don’t appear to have a shortlist of candidates. Names are circulating, but they’re mostly prominent party members who would get mentioned in the context of any leadership vacancy.

Among them: Brighton Supervisor Bill Moehle, former Brighton Supervisor Sandra Frankel, O’Brien (who served as party chair from January 2000 to December 2002), former City Council member and one-time mayoral candidate Wade Norwood, and Greece Democratic leader Dave Garretson.

But if candidates aren’t lining up for what’s often called a thankless job, there’s a reason; Morelle’s announcement caught party insiders by surprise. By Morelle’s own admission, he let very few people know about his decision. Even key city and suburban leaders say they didn’t know.

Citing an increased workload, Joe Morelle will step down as leader of Monroe County Democratic Committee in September. FILE PHOTO

That’s not to say that Morelle’s departure is completely unexpected. He’s taken on new duties as Assembly majority leader and chair of the Democratic Assembly Campaign Committee, and local party leaders say they figured he’d step down at some point. They just didn’t see it happening now, they say, especially leading up to a couple of tough elections.

Morelle, who has lead the local party since 2005, says his new duties are what drove his decision. And he says he decided to announce his intentions now, so party members have time for thorough and thoughtful discussion of his replacement.

He says he didn’t want party members to be in a position where they had to choose a new leader in haste, which has happened in the past.

“I wanted a period of transition,” Morelle says.

to the other 800 students. They want to know what would happen to the teachers who don’t get rehired. And how would Turnaround work within the parameters of the district’s current labor agreement?

The contracts can be renegotiated, says Adam Urbanski, president of the Rochester Teachers Association. But they can’t be nullified.

“The superintendent and I had this conversation, and the contracts would continue to apply,” Urbanski says.

“A group can’t just come in and do whatever they want.”

The education policies of the Bush

and Obama administrations have helped create a cottage industry of businesses and nonprofits that claim they can fix failing school systems.

But it’s an extremely difficult job, and reports show that many efforts end in failure. So clarifying the terms of proposals and how goals will be achieved is important.

Turnaround’s approach is based on a management technique called the Logic Model Theory of Change. The concept, which was developed in the 1970’s, borrows from behavioral psychology and was popular among professionals working with developmentally disabled children and adults.

Planners work backward with the end goal in mind, and they have to determine precisely what activity is needed and when to achieve a desired outcome. The approach relies heavily on frequent assessments and interventions.

Former Rochester schools Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard said in a recent phone interview that while he believes East can improve, that changes need to be made slowly and selectively.

Fusion at the mall Papaya Asian Kitchen & Bar 272-7425 MARKETPLACE MALL – HYLAN ENTRANCE 270 MIRACLE MILE DRIVE IN HENRIETTA PAPAYAROCHESTER.COM [ REVIEW ] BY LAURA REBECCA KENYON

Located in Henrietta’s Marketplace Mall, Papaya Asian Kitchen & Bar does an impressive job of creating a relaxed and modern atmosphere in the midst of a shopping frenzy.

The restaurant is in a large space, with vaulted ceilings and exposed ductwork. Its ambient music wouldn’t be out of place at an upscale spa or a session of gentle yoga, and its color scheme is dominated by sage greens, muted oranges and natural wood tones. A basket-weave wall separates the dining area from the bar, which is flashier but still keeps with the rest of Papaya’s design aesthetic.

On the opposite side of the space, large windows line one wall, letting in natural light and spring breezes. But if you are facing the

windows, the contrast of outdoor and indoor lighting can make it difficult to see dining companions. The windows also offer views of the parking lot, which is not as Zen as the rest of the restaurant’s design.

The Henrietta Papaya is the restaurant’s second location — both are owned and operated by Manh Le, Tai Truong, and Tri Lam. The first opened in Buffalo almost a decade ago, and the Rochester location has been open less than five months.

Both locations focus on southeast Asian and Asian-inspired cuisine. There is a limited selection of sushi and sashimi, with traditional and non-traditional offerings. Other menu items range from the expected, including pad Thai and spring rolls, to fusion offerings, like NY strip steaks with Thai basil vegetables and French-cut pork chops served with umeboshi plum sauce.

There’s also a small and surprising bar menu — featuring cocktails, beers, and wine — where you can order a $495 bottle of Armand De Brignac Champagne. Should you not want to drop that kind of cash, there are other options.

Papaya’s martini menu is kitted out with

cocktails that lean toward the sweet, rich, and colorful. The Vietnamese Kiss ($9) is served in a purple martini glass with a wedge of pineapple and a small, foam head. You’d be hard pressed to detect its mango vodka, Chambord or champagne ingredients; it’s amorphously sweet with a bitter finish. The mango martini ($9) is disappointing, though. Tequila, mango puree, and soda water could add up to a refreshing summer drink, but this was unfortunately cloying with an artificial fruit taste.

On the whole, entrees and appetizers are

solidly satisfying. Takrai shrimp ($13 lunch; $17 dinner) are sizable — just under the circumference of a silver dollar — and yielding yet firm. They’re bathed in a spicy lemongrass sauce that starts sweet and finishes with heat, and there’s enough to blend with a side of rice and soak up every drop. The shrimp comes with tender and lush Japanese eggplant tossed in the same lemongrass sauce.

The pork belly buns appetizer ($7) is good but not my favorite — that title goes to the ones made at Bistro Han and Han Noodle

Bar. The pork belly, the same part of the pig that gives us bacon, isn’t very fatty, so it lacks some flavor and unctuousness. Its dusting of Chinese five spice powder, however, adds an appealing warmth and sweetness, and provides a counterpoint to the coolness of the cucumber and cilantro topping.

Pineapple fried rice ($9-$13 depending on protein choice and lunch or dinner option) has a touch of the pineapple’s tropical sweetness and a hint of toastiness from sesame oil. More than anything, it’s rich and meaty from the cashews; even more so if you choose to eat it with beef that’s cut thin and presented in one and a half-inch strips. The dish grows on you with each bite; before you know it, you’re faced with an empty bowl or a full, carbed-out stomach — or both.

The Butterfish ($15) is plated attractively with a soy glaze, dots of spring green wasabi sauce, and a side of stir-fried snap peas and shiitake mushrooms. The fish is white, moist, flaky, and like its name implies, has a buttery richness. The pea-and-mushroom side is excellent: snappy peas; meaty, chewy mushrooms; and umami fullness.

The dish as a whole is delicious and worth trying, with one caveat. Butterfish, also known as escolar, contains a high amount of wax esters, specifically gempylotoxin, which are similar to castor or mineral oil. The same wax esters that give escolar its rich texture can also cause a laxative effect when consumed.

Colloquially, escolar is called “ex-lax fish.”

This doesn’t mean that you will be affected by the escolar, not everyone is, and it’s thought that smaller portions are less likely to result in unwanted side-effects. Still, it’s something to keep in mind. Papaya’s butterfish portions are six ounces; the wait staff should notify you of the potential impact when you order this dish.

Butterfish aside, the best reason to make a trip to Papaya is to enjoy its pad Thai ($9 to $19 depending on protein choice and lunch or dinner option). It is excellent, and may be the most delicious preparation I’ve eaten locally. It hits all the notes that pad Thai should: tamarind’s sweet and tart flavors; an underlying smoky char; just enough fishy-funkiness from nam pla (fish sauce); fresh and slightly bitter bean sprouts; springy rice noodles; and citrus’ sour brightness (my order came with a wedge of lemon, not lime, to squirt over the top).

If I lived closer to the Marketplace Mall, I would order it all the time. I’ll just have to make the drive.

hris tine Bu rke y-Ke lly was 38 years old when she got into triathlons.

She quickly found out that not only was the female 40-49 age group the largest at just about every event, but those women also had faster times than those in their 20’s.

“When women get to that magic number of 40 years old, they start to look at their life in different ways, often saying, ‘Is this what I want to be? Is this what I want to be doing? Do I have other aspirations?’” Burkey-Kelly says. “Women in this age group are driven, very motivated, very assertive.

They have a plan and they are sticking to it.”

Burkey-Kelly became interested in triathlons when a group of coworkers — one of whom was an ex-Navy

Seal swimmer — needed a cyclist for their swim-bikerun team to enter the Shoreline Triathlon. BurkeyKelly had a mountain bike, so she gave it a shot. The team won first place.

Not long thereafter, a friend convinced BurkeyKelly to do an individual triathlon. “I had 10 pounds of baby weight I could not get rid of,” she says. “I would go to the gym and do something like the elliptical. It was boring. I wasn’t motivated. I needed a goal, and even though I had never been a runner or a swimmer, it was a new challenge and I did it.”

In her first individual sprint triathlon, she did the entire swim in a breaststroke without getting her hair wet.

Burkey-Kelly has traveled a long distance from where she started as someone who “never considered

[herself ] athletic.” She was “the geeky one,” in the high school National Honor Society, doing spelling bees.

Then, there simply wasn’t time as she had to work — Burkey-Kelly currently owns Westin Development — got married, and had children.

“When you’re five miles away from home, there’s no way of hitting the stop button,” Burkey-Kelly says.

“You have to get home. There are a lot of psychological games you have to say to yourself to get to the next point. Walk around the block. Then run in between phone poles, then two telephone poles — it can be that basic. Breaking it down is what it all amounts to.”

This last winter, Burkey-Kelly broke down and signed up with a swim coach. She had already progressed past her mountain bike; it was time to up her game.

Her goal this year — now seven years into the sport — is to try to podium at every race. Burkey-Kelly is involved in the 100-mile ride for Missing & Exploited Children and the Rochester Kids Triathlon. And this year, along with co-captain Charlie Anderson, she leads the inaugural year of the Bike Zone Multisport Team.

There are more than 200 racing events in Monroe and its neighboring counties — predominantly from April through October — ranging from 5K’s to the Peasantman, which has a whopping combined 144.6 miles. And a community of enthusiastic, like-minded athletes has grown in the region to train and meet the challenges. Men, women, and children wearing numbers show up to events in everything from tried-and-true gym shorts to equipment costing upwards of $20,000. The Rochester area offers races and training for athletes of all levels, and many of the participants will be more than happy to share their experiences as they welcome beginners into their world. elping peo ple bre ak it down to build it up, as

Burkey-Kelly recommends, is something a surprising number of businesses and programs throughout the area offer. In addition to the Bike Zone Multisport Team, there are other sign-up teams through Park Ave Bike Shop, Towpath Bike Shop, and Fleet Feet. You can find training at area YMCA’s and municipal aquatic centers.

And you can find triathlon coaches certified

by USA Triathlon, the national governing organization for multisport disciplines.

Ellen Brenner started doing triathlons in the late 1990’s. She and her husband, David “Boots” Boutillier, own both of the Fleet Feet stores and Yellow Jacket Racing.

Among the events they manage is the Flower City Challenge weekend, originally set up as only a half marathon.

“We got involved with Flower City with a goal to showcase the city and its river-way and parks,” Brenner says. “The run-bike-run and the run-bike-paddle were added about five years ago. The run-bike-paddle triathlon is so rare that most people use it as a once in a lifetime or a once in a year experience.”

Brenner believes that Rochester has more races per capita than any other U.S. city.

“There is a race almost every weekend in Rochester, and some weekends there are up to four races,” Brenner says. She estimates that this year’s Flower City triathlon will have about 600 entrants.

There are more than 15,000 entrants between the various events of the Flower City weekend, the Rochester Marathon, and the Turkey Trot, and Brenner estimates that in the course of just one season, Yellow Jacket Racing will issue about 20,000 bib numbers.

“So many people don’t know how to get started in an event,” Brenner says. “We provide the opportunity through programs like No Boundaries to try something new, safely.”

Brenner thinks there are many reasons people get up off the sofa and get involved in the sport of triathlon, from a desire to get healthier to raising money for a cause.

She believes that completing a triathlon can transform someone’s life.

“Absolutely! Absolutely!” Brenner says. “I’ve seen it thousands and thousands of times.”

et t ing i nt o t r i ath l o n s ,

you quickly learn about training groups. It’s the triathlete version of happy hour: hooking up with others for a ride, run, or swim, and instead of alcohol, it’s endorphins. Amateur endurance athletes are upbeat in packs, perhaps because so much of the training is otherwise solo.

One area group is the Rochester Area Triathlon Society, now offering multiple, different weekly workout opportunities at Webster Park, Durand Eastman Park, Braddock Bay, and Greece Odyssey High School. This year RATS is also partnering with Peasantman to offer a 10-race series, adding to annual events of the Rochester Triathlon and the Rochester Kids Triathlon. In the winter, the group does workouts at the Maplewood YMCA and at the Webster Aquatic Center.

A runner since middle school, Jeff Ouriel didn’t start multisport until 2001, when he suffered a stress fracture after running his first marathon. “I couldn’t run, so I took up riding bicycles, and I started duathlons,” Ouriel says. “I did my first triathlon a couple of years ago.”

Ouriel lives in Greece and balances family and work as a teacher with his passion for athletics. His sons Jacob, 12, and Ben, 10, are also getting involved in kids’ triathlon.

Ouriel is once again president of RATS “because someone needed to take the reins.”

As with so many area groups, it’s all about volunteers and people willing to take on leadership roles with no pay.

Offering training rides and timed events from April to October, the RATS company line is, “Turning beginner triathletes into experienced ones.” e a d i n g i n to th e i r fi r s t

winter off-season, many multisport athletes can be nervous they’ll lose momentum. But there are programs to help many — especially the adventurous — stay dedicated year-round.

The Freezeroo race series, hosted by the Greater Rochester Track Club, is a series of six races, held regardless of the weather, from late December into mid-March. Races take runners from 5K to 8 miles in conditions ranging from sunny and in the 50’s to subzero temperatures and winds gusting over 50 miles per hour off Lake Ontario.

“Freezeroo provides that environment where runners are going to be with other people just as crazy as you,” says Wilton Alston, president of GRTC. “Runners like to run. Runners try at all costs to find a way to keep running. They’re sitting at home seeing it snow and thinking ‘Let’s go run!’”

Before Alston did Freezeroo, he was doing the Polar Cats, a similar winter race series. “I had to find some structured way to run during the winter,” he says.

Winter races, says Alston, are not always about elite runners or being the fastest in an age group.

“It’s about enjoying the camaraderie and the interaction. These people tend to be sociable people,” he says. continues on page 14 rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 13

The GRTC Freezeroo offers two things you can’t find anywhere else on this circuit: a low entry price for the series and postrace lodges filled with hot comfort foods, including homemade soups. Alston describes the post-race lodge setting as a “personal therapy group,” remembering that at one race a woman came up to him, almost in tears, saying she couldn’t believe how nice the people were being at the race. “That’s what’s supposed to happen,” he adds.

The Freezeroo averages about 175 people per race, and it allows slower runners a 20-minute early start time. There are runners and then there are subsets of runners, Alston says: those who do trails, for instance, and those who do Freezeroo.

Alston, a research scientist, has run in events for more than 35 years. He ran his first marathon as a result of being talked into it over the course of winter races one year. Now he’s run 18 marathons, and he’s done four Ragnar overnight team relay running races.

Ragnar Relays are the trending run, drive, sleep, repeat relays covering 200 miles in two days. He used to find training to be a parttime job, but, he says, “I’ve gotten beyond that negative approach.” r a i n i n g i n m u l ti s p o r t,

for the amateur athlete, seems to hover around 12 hours per week. Whether you call it a part-time job or a passion, it requires something beyond what most of us think of as work-life balance.

“One thing that helps is having your spouse involved in it also,” says attorney Steve Levitsky. “It’s a difficult balance. My wife and I alternate. I do more evening workouts; she does more mornings. I do more Saturdays; she does more Sundays.

And we make sure that at least one of us attends all of our kids’ events.”

Levitsky started running in 1991 and began entering marathons in 2001. He got seriously into marathoning in 2007 and crossed into the world of triathlons in 2012.

“My wife got involved in triathlons. I had done a lot with my running, and I thought, why not take some swimming lessons and give it a try,” Levitsky says. “It took me a whole winter of swimming lessons to get barely competent.”

Seen at the Flower City Triathlon: 1) Michael Krauklis and team mate Nate Stockey cross the finish line.

2) Dan Barney of "Team BMF" during the biking leg of the triathlon. His team placed second overall in the Team Canoe Triathlon.

“ R un ne r s l ik e t o r u n .

Levitsky, who says he wishes he had “learned to swim as a child instead of faking it,” already knew how to run and saw the biking as “a matter of getting on the bike and going.”

But when he took to the water, he quickly figured out that the first thing he had to learn was that “by killing yourself in the water, you’re not going to get anywhere.”

“It’s harder for runners and bikers to cross over to the dark side.”

His first triathlon was the Pittsford Triathlon, which consists of an indoor swim, followed by an outdoor bike ride and run. Another stage of triathlon challenge for Levitsky was the Sodus Point Triathlon, where the swim stage is conducted in Lake Ontario.

“During the swim at the Sodus Point Tri, I was basically trying to figure out if I could throw up and swim at the same time,” because of the motion of the lake, Levitsky says. “But then when I did Peasantman, I had already experienced waves and the lack of visibility and, in comparison, it wasn’t as bad. As hard as it was to do the Sodus Point Triathlon, I would definitely do it for the experience.”

In addition to the challenges of learning to swim efficiently and facing an open water swim in Lake Ontario, Levitsky describes the challenge of learning to eat during longdistance events.

“Nutrition is the fifth event in the triathlon,” Levitsky says. “It’s swim, bike, run, transition, and nutrition.”

He counsels the importance of trying different things in training and not trying anything new on a race day. Levitsky speaks the endurance-athletics vocabulary of GU Energy Gel and peanut butter, adding in salt potatoes, and flat Coke (“the ultimate rocket fuel”).

A self-described “lunatic” — notably not the only person I interviewed with this self-descriptor — Levitsky’s 2014 season contains more than 20 events, including three marathons, two 50K runs, a half Ironman, and a 50-miler.

Levitsky was headed to the pool even as he said, “The key is working hard on the event you’re weakest at.” t ta k es sev en year s

for your skeletal structure to compensate and create new stress points to be capable of taking the beating you put on them during these events,” says Joe McMahon, one of the founders of Peasantman Steel Distance Triathlon in Penn Yan. McMahon completed his first Olympic distance triathlon at Hamlin Beach in 1990.

It’s not just the training over a period of years that McMahon sees as crucial to completing a full Peasantman event at 144.6 miles total; it’s having the drive. “When you’re out there for 12 to 17 hours, you cannot survive on PowerBars, GU’s, and plain bagels.

You gotta love what you’re doing.”

And love it McMahon does. His daily training regimen, which he has followed for 25 years, is two to two and a half hours, seven days a week. At Hamlin Beach, McMahon says, “I realized that I was never going to be the fast guy, but potentially, I was going to be the guy who does the long distance.”

It’s not just the distances or durations that challenge the multisport athlete, McMahon says, it’s the difficulty of the course. “The Lake Placid Ironman is the toughest, the most brutal,” he says.

“Any beginner that goes there for their A-game race is crazy,” he says. “It has two continues on page 36 rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 15

THURSDAY, MAY 1 THE CLUB AT WATER STREET, 204 N. WATER ST. 7 P.M. | $15 | WATERSTREETMUSIC.COM [ ROCK ] There are times when I come across a band and I want to punch myself for not listening to them sooner.

Sam Roberts Band is one of those acts. The Canadian rock group has been a hit across the border for more than 10 years, regularly being nominated for the major categories of the JUNO Awards (Canada’s version of the Grammy Awards) and winning a few times. The group plays rock with some psychedelic notes mixed in, and also has some of the trippiest music videos you’ll see. Seriously, go check out the video for “Human Heat” online. What did I just watch? — TREVOR LEWIS

With a blazing attack that would make Dick Dale wet his pants, speed that would give The Ventures vertigo, and bouncy dancing girls sexy enough to make Benny Hill blush, The ’Topes are a righteous and ribald guitars-a-go-go rock ’n’ roll band. Go. Lose your mind. The Bleechers, featuring 2014 Lovin’ Cup Idol winner Liam Enright will also perform. — FRANK DE BLASÉ

A singer-songwriter at heart, Chris Trapper’s sincere roots-pop has earned him praise from The New York Times, who called his work “classic pop perfection.” Starting out as the front man for late-90’s alt-rockers The Push Stars, Trapper has since landed tracks on numerous film soundtracks and TV spots, including the song “This Time” for the film “August Rush.” His latest album, “Technicolor,” was released October 18, 2013.

6 p.m.

I truly admire artists who work within the realm of low-fidelity. The rawness and honesty of the ragged tone adds dimension to the mood.

The songs have nowhere to hide. Rob Roemer records and performs as Loaded Goat, a stark, one-man alt-country diatribe full of haunting melody in a kind of dirt road aesthetic. There’s just enough loneliness to evoke empathy but not too much to beg for sympathy. Just five songs straight from the gut right to the heart.

I love the idea of anti-folk or freak-folk immensely, but the genre can be a little scary to the timid and unenlightened. Former Dufus member, and eclectic songwriter, Seth Faergolzia advances with The 23 Psaegz, a 14-piece quasiorchestral ensemble of substantial depth and quirk. Faergolzia moves vocally from rhythmic nonsense — intoned coolly nonetheless on tunes like the opening tracks “Landscaper” and “Water Daughter” to folk anthems a la Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger like “Whenland.” The choral treatment on “Look at the Weird” is a beautiful highlight and an invitation to give the whole album repeated spins. A bit weird but ultimately super-cool.

If a perfect blend of cover songs and original material actually exists in a band’s arsenal, Wayne County’s Low Flying Planes may have found it. The band skates the razor. It’s found the balance — give the people what they want peppered with what you want them to want. The band arrived at this balance over its brief, four year history. The covers helped give context.

“It’s funny,” says vocalist and guitarist Devin Aldrich. “I’ve learned that along the way. At first I wanted to be 100 percent original, no covers at all. But you get a better response from the crowd when you mix them in; people make that association.

The band — Aldrich, bassist Nina Schollnick, Jenna Owens on vocals and keys, Ryan Dapprich as lead guitar, and drummer Anthony Robert — began to mix in material from artists similar to its own style. Tunes from bands like The Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam swam around in the stew along with LFP’s similarly hard rockin’, yet fluid, melodious material.

The band members all concede the songwriting begins with an individual spark which in turn ignites the band. Typically Aldrich is that spark, coming up with the

melody and the rudimentary chords before spilling it on the others in rehearsal.

“At first, it’s mostly Devin,” Robert says.

“Occasionally somebody else will come in with an idea, but it’s usually an individual start, not the band working together.”

Consequently, the initial songwriter has more of a vested interest in the song’s success.

“We start off trying to make it work,” says Owen.” But if it isn’t working, we scrap it.” But it took some time to learn to say no.

“I think when we started we weren’t that brave when it came to giving criticism,” Robert says. “We didn’t want to hurt any feelings.

But we learned in order to get the best sounds sometimes you have to be ‘that guy.’”

As the band matures, Aldrich is game for bringing in the whole band into the creation.

“It’s a cool feeling,” he says of writing alone.

“But the first time I did it with a band it was so awesome because it wasn’t just me. I used to just play by myself, but it’s cool when you have the whole band dynamic with it. It’s like everyone meshes to make this one cohesive song. That’s where I get the most enjoyment out of it.”

But so do a lot of other bands. What exactly sets LFP apart from the herd? To be sure, the twin vocal attack doesn’t hurt.

“We stick out with our melodies and harmonies,” Schollnick says. “It’s because we have two vocalists. Their harmonies add another level to our music. I don’t think a lot of bands are lucky enough to have such solid harmonies.”

And just as the band keenly balances originals and covers it also juggles pop melody with rock weight.

“I think we’re more pop than rock,” Schollnick says. Owens isn’t so sure.

“People ask me,” she says. “But I don’t really know, because we have a very wide range. We have some forms of just straight rock, some really poppy songs, and we’re starting to weave in Southern rock and country.”

Country?

“We took a band trip to Nashville just to visit,” Owens says. “And we were like ‘We kinda like this.’ We were inspired.”

Since then, Aldrich has found himself listening to a lot of Allman Brothers. But he has always been drawn to it to some extent; he’s not changing but rather acknowledging something that’s already there.

“I like the mix of Southern rock and blues,” he says. “I think as a songwriter that’s where I’ve always come from.” He worries sometimes that change within the bands’ sound — like a left turn toward country — may alienate some fans in lieu of grabbing new ones. It’s a balance LFP may have yet to master and is currently mastering on its yet-to-be-titled CD debut.

“You’ve just gotta have faith that people like what you’re doing and that they’ll stick with you,” he says.

And like its fans, LFP listen to virtually everything different from each other, according to Schollnick. “But we overlap on rock.”

POP/ROCK | SPORTS

I’ve frequently toyed with the philosophy that every band should put out one album, then call it quits. Just think how many bands with killer debuts sort of petered out and undid their spontaneous cool on subsequent releases. Sports — Rochester’s answer to sparkling pop-rock without too much sugar — is hanging it up after four years and one brilliant album. This band’s songs are future classics and though I’ll miss it’s quirky organ-filled, Costello-inspired groove, I admire Sports for bailing while on top — that’s not to say the bottom was closing in, I just think Sports has class. Vaya con Dios.

Sports will perform with Harmonica Lewinski, Afro Nips, Howlo, on Saturday, May 3, at Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. Show starts at 9 p.m. $5-$7. Bugjar.com.

It’s heart-warming to see young musicians not only keep the traditions of American roots but also adapt the music to make it their own. The way Great Vagrant — a mix of students from the Eastman School of Music and the University of Rochester — approaches Bluegrass and Folk, it’s evident the respect the members hold for tradition.

Still, the music feels fresh and youthful, like Great Vagrant is excited to test old boundaries and toe the line.

JAZZ | ROSETTA TRIO

You might know Stephan Crump as the bassist in the Vijay Iyer Trio, or you might know his work with artists as diverse as Dave Liebman and Ashford & Simpson. But when he surrounds himself with two superb guitarists, Liberty Ellman and Jamie Fox, the result is the wonderful Rosetta Trio. Ellman has also collaborated with a range of artists, from Henry Threadgill to Joe Lovano. And Fox has been a member of Blood, Sweat & Tears and played with Dr. John and many others. Together they provide a vibrant brand of acoustic swing that’s more than the sum of its parts.

The Rosetta Trio plays Thursday, May 1, 8:30 p.m. at Bop Shop Records, 1460 Monroe Ave., $10, 271-3354.

“The Odd Couple” THROUGH SUNDAY, MAY 18 GEVA THEATRE CENTER, 75 WOODBURY BLVD. 232-4382, GEVATHEATRE.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND

Higher-brow critics may beg to differ, but if any play deserves to be called a classic American comedy, it’s “The Odd Couple.” Neil Simon’s study of the epic battle between Oscar Madison, slob, and Felix Ungar, fussbudget, is almost 50 years old now, and has been in the public consciousness rather consistently since its Broadway debut in 1965.

My guess is that many people know these characters from the movie version with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon, or the 1970’s TV show with Jack Klugman and Tony Randall.

The play that started it all doesn’t seem to be done all that much anymore, but Geva Theatre

is bringing it back in a first-class revival, with smooth direction, a perfect set, and a dandy cast that peaks at the top with two noted Broadway actors: Michael McGrath as Oscar, and Noah Racey as Felix.

As the saying goes, this play needs no introduction, but just in case you have spent the last half-century on another planet: Oscar, a sportswriter, is recently divorced; his best friend Felix has just separated from his wife and comes to Oscar in distress. Oscar invites Felix to move in with him until he gets his life sorted out.

Oscar is an easygoing slob and Felix a neurotic clean freak, and the domestic fireworks begin.

Throw in four kibitzing poker-playing friends, a couple of frisky English birds (the Pigeon sisters, in fact) from an upstairs apartment, many jokes, and a bit of sentiment, and you have a play that still works like a charm.

Many of the jokes have gotten a bit cozy and predictable over the years, the giggly attitude to sex is strictly 1960’s mainstream, and the ending

There is no point in doing “The Odd Couple” without a good Oscar and Felix, and McGrath and Racey are terrific — separately and together. Both men are probably bestknown for their work in musicals. McGrath was in the original “Spamalot” and recently won a Tony for “Nice Work If You Can Get It”; Racey has been in numerous hit shows and is also a writer, director, and choreographer. They nail all of Simon’s wisecracks, have a great knack for physical comedy, and add interesting nuances to these well-worn characters and situations.

Racey’s comic timing can be delightfully quirky, and McGrath’s is simply perfect, but both are not afraid to suggest a little seriousness in their characters — very much to the point in a play by Neil Simon, whose characters (to paraphrase one of Oscar’s remarks) make the same sounds for pleasure as they do for pain. Felix is definitely in great emotional distress when he enters, which Racey plays convincingly; the other characters’ reactions to him are funny, but he’s dead serious (for a while, at least). And McGrath, for all his skill delivering the jokes, has a rather serious mien that subtly suggests a man who, despite an easygoing approach to life, has also had the emotional stuffing knocked out of him.

Director John Miller-Stephany hasn’t turned Neil Simon into Beckett or Albee.

“The Odd Couple” is still a laugh riot — even the set changes are amusing. But with the play’s basic situation respected, it is a laugh riot with just the right touch of substance.

Felix and Oscar’s poker buddies have brief but juicy roles, and Brian D. Coats as Speed, Patrick Noonan as Murray, Robert Rutland as Roy, and Drew Hirshfield as Vinnie all score. And as Gwendolyn and Cicely, the Pigeon sisters, Jennifer Cody and Erin Lindsey Krom are hilariously ditzy (and nothing like their namesakes in “The Importance of Being Earnest”).

The highbrow critics mentioned above may sniff at “The Odd Couple,” and Simon’s work in general seems to be regarded as the theatrical equivalent of TV situation comedies. But when the situations are still engaging and the comedy still plays, what’s wrong with that? “The Odd Couple” has aged well, and if you don’t mind my saying so, stands up at least as well as, say, the best plays of Kaufman and Hart. Geva’s opening-night audience laughed before the first line was spoken, and seldom let up after that.

Crosses to bear “Agnes of God”

BY GREATER ROCHESTER REPERTORY COMPANIES THROUGH MAY 4 RAPA EAST END THEATRE, 727 E. MAIN ST. $15-$20 | 325-3366, RAPATHEATRE.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK

The story behind John Pielmeier’s play “Agnes of God” will be familiar to most Rochesterians who lived here in the 1970’s and early 80’s. According to the playwright’s introduction included in the program to Greater Rochester Repertory Companies’ current production of the show, Pielmeier — interested in writing a play through which he could explore his conflicting thoughts on his own Catholicism — found inspiration in a newspaper headline: “Nun Kills Baby.”

He admits to doing no research beyond that title, but the story in question referred to the trial of Sister Maureen Murphy. In 1977, Murphy, an apprentice nun who attended Nazareth Academy in Brighton and taught at a Montessori school in Pittsford, was tried and acquitted of manslaughter in the death of her infant son. Her pregnancy had been kept a secret, and the child’s father never revealed.

The salacious case made national news, and is still remembered by many area natives today.

On opening night, Don Bartalo, the director of the GRRC production of “Agnes,” 26 CITY APRIL 30 - MAY 6, 2014

stressed that the play is not the story of Sister Maureen. That was merely a jumping off point for the playwright to tackle various social and religious issues. And as the play goes along, its fictional aspects become more and more apparent — possibly to its detriment. But beyond its origins, beyond its local significance, it is worth watching for the questions it raises, and especially for putting a spotlight on three talented local actors.

“Agnes of God” features only three characters, all women. Dr. Martha Livingstone (Erin-Kate Howard) is appointed by the court to determine the mental stability of Sister Agnes (Marcy J. Savastano), a young nun accused of killing the newborn child with which she had been secretly pregnant. Agnes denies the very existence of the child, claiming that the police made the whole story up. She also claims that she sees and speaks to spirits, both good and evil, and has experienced inexplicable physical phenomena.

Throughout her appointments with Dr. Livingstone, Agnes is fiercely protected by Mother Miriam Ruth (Denise Bartalo), who views Agnes as a rare innocent, and her connection to God something akin to a miracle. As the play goes on, Livingstone reveals some personal issues that make her intensely distrustful of the Catholic faith.

Meanwhile Mother Ruth subverts the doctor’s expectations even while demanding

that she consider the possibility of nonscientific explanations.

The gulf between religion and science is telegraphed bluntly by the minimalist set, featuring a large cross on the left, a caduceus on the right, as well as a desk and some chairs. That no-frills approach is also echoed in the sound and lighting design, which is quite subtle, sometimes too much so. The show’s action is occasionally interrupted by monologues by Dr. Livingstone and even a flashback or two with Agnes and Mother. While it wasn’t necessarily confusing to follow when there was a shift in time or presentation, a more aggressive lighting presentation could have helped to make things more distinct.

But ultimately, this show hinges on the three actors and their ability to handle material that is sometimes absolutely riveting, and which sometimes devolves into moralistic speechifying. Erin-Kate Howard is excellent as Dr. Livingstone.

She becomes increasingly obsessed with the case as the story goes along, in a very believable, and ultimately quite upsetting, emotional arc. Denise Bartalo as Mother Miriam Ruth is best when sparring with Livingstone or protecting Agnes. She is both stern and desperate in parts, and there are lots of interesting elements to her character’s internal struggle. She is not as convincing when delivering some of the longer passages, but some of that fault lies in the script itself.

Agnes is a fascinating, complicated character, and Marcy Savastano brings a lot of skill to the role. In the first act Agnes is shy, timid, almost empty, and as we discover, that’s for good reason.

But in Act Two her shell is broken, and the raw, damaged human being that is Agnes just comes pouring out. Savastano’s performance in the hypnosis scenes was almost uncomfortable to watch, but in the most honest and affecting way.

“Agnes of God” is not a perfect play, but it is an interesting one with some great moments. The nature of the subject matter means that there cannot be any real answers in the play, just discussions. Some of them are well reasoned, others skew toward showmanship for the sake of showmanship.

But when the characters are speaking to one another sincerely, wrestling with the nature of faith in a modern world, it is captivating.

That is due in large part to the strength of the acting and the tragic scenario that inspired the work.

ART | MELODIES UNHEARD

SPECIAL EVENT | FREE COMIC BOOK DAY

SPECIAL EVENT | BLACKFISH BRIGADE SYMPOSIUM

The RIT Orchestra, in conjunction with Professor Thomas Warfield, the RIT/NTID Dance Company, and the School of Interactive Gaming and Media, will present a new multimedia performance, “Melodies Unheard,” in honor of Dr. Robert Panara, RIT’s first deaf professor and founder of the NTID Drama Club.

The production will showcase scenes inspired by Panara’s poetry and the RIT Orchestra will perform mostly new pieces, including an orchestra and African drum ensemble composed

by RIT Professor of Performing Arts, Dr. Carl Atkins. RIT student and orchestra violist Justine Maeurer will also perform.

Maybe we need to explain further. Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) is — you guessed it — a day where local comic book stores give away free comic books. This year is the biggest FCBD to date, as it will feature 60 free comics available to all comic fans. Anyone that visits one of the 2,000 participating shops will receive at least one of the designated comics for free. The FCBD Committee picked a list of “Gold” and “Silver” sponsors whose titles are great for both adults and kids. Featured comic books include Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Transformers,” “Archie,” DC’s “The New 52: Futures End,” and more. Each comic book shop will include its own special events like store-wide sales, costume contests, and raffles. Call your neighborhood store to see what its offering for the day.

When the documentary “Blackfish” was released in 2013 it shocked audiences worldwide. The film focuses on the captivity of killer whale, Tilikum, who had killed three trainers at SeaWorld and the consequences of keeping killer whales in captivity. For one night, Rochester will host four ex-SeaWorld trainers and activists in the film. Samantha Berg, John Jett, Carol Ray, and Jeffrey Ventre, are the “Voice of the Orcas,” speaking out against the abuse and treatment they witnessed first-hand.

Speaking with them will be former MarineLand trainer Philip Demers (pictured). The night will feature short video clips and a discussion on related topics including the human impact and effects of keeping orcas and marine mammals in captivity and future solutions for marine life education.

Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 3, during normal store hours. For more information, and to check out local participating stores and featured free comics, go to Freecomicbookday.com. — TAYLOR WHITE

Love projected [ REVIEW ] BY CASEY CARLSEN

Tucked off Chestnut Street, at 45 Euclid Street, is a little club with a lot going for it.

I visited LOVE with two companions on a blustery Friday night in late March. The place wasn’t difficult to find but we weren’t sure where to park, and frankly, a little police presence would have been nice around those deserted lots. But I guess we weren’t in Kansas — er, um — the East End, anymore.

Once under the welcoming neon lights of LOVE, the entrance flanked by doormen, I felt the familiar twinge of underground club excitement. We could have been on a side street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, or Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Inside, a courteous attendant at the ticket counter checked our I.D.s and stamped our hands. No guy on a stool by the door, but a real hostess; a nice upscale touch.

Once inside, we stood still, entranced. The audio and visual experience at LOVE is an impressive integrated system with projectors that produce detailed images on any wall space. The visualizations interact with the music, the movement of the audience and whatever other creative hijinks the DJ wants to throw in. It’s mesmerizing.

LOVE is the brainchild of Jason Crissy who was the General Manager of Tilt nightclub for six years (during which time period Tilt regularly won CITY’s Best of Rochester award for Best Nightclub). This new baby opened in October.

“It was time for me to do my own thing. I wanted to run with my video idea,” Crissy said.

He credits Richard Kishita as the man behind the curtain in creating the visual effects.

What LOVE has produced is a futuristic, interactive visual and audio playhouse that has a definite rave-like vibe. The majority of the music is EDM. A host of house DJs have their regular nights and the names ring familiar from the Rochester club scene. Thursdays it’s resident DJ Rich Kishita and weekly guests spinning drum & bass and electro. On Fridays, DJ Transcend spins tech house, progressive, and top 40 remixes from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.; afterhours is with DJ Victor Gig. Saturdays, Resident DJ Jameson Alexander plays from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. spinning electro, techno, progressive and remixes, then DJ Rob Morley takes over afterhours.

LOVE also regularly features special theme nights and is available for private parties. We happened to be there on a First Friday which was a Pure Whirl night. I didn’t ask for an explanation, but I’m assuming the name was a reference to the handful of 18-plus club-goers who came equipped with LED hula-hoops, batons and light sticks. Some of the kids sported a Darkwave look; one girl gyrating her hoop with something akin to the dexterity of a Cirque dis Ole performer wore a black cap, skirt, leggings, boots, and a wide silver belt. Others were casual in sneakers and jeans.

“I come here because there’s lots of space to hula, they have cool visuals and change the music a lot,” said Marisa Church, a 21 year old from Henrietta.

But the LED crowd covers only a fraction of LOVE’s patronage. Seated at the bar

with us were 20-, 30-, and 40-somethings.

Everyone seemed to be relaxed and enjoying themselves, letting the audio-visual experience of the place wash over them. I was in no hurry to leave. My drink was good, my body was vibrating with the music, and the LED dancing was fun to watch.

Different drink specials run every night.

Thursdays it’s $2.50 wells and Budweiser products until midnight; Fridays and Saturdays it’s 2 for 1 signature drinks until 11:30 p.m. Signature cocktails are uniquely named, tasty and served graciously. I enjoyed a True Romance made with Grey Goose vodka, lemonade, melon liquor, and Tyku. The cocktail didn’t fill my martini glass to the top, but at 2 for 1 (for $8), I wasn’t complaining.

While we took it all in, Crissy proudly explained that LOVE’s sound system consists of 16 extended, low frequency subwoofers system delivers musical bass and clarity while eliminating harshness that typically leaves ears ringing. Instead, you feel the music in a much cleaner way. It’s definitely worth checking out.

Cover cost and age restrictions vary depending upon the night at LOVE. Thursdays, it’s $12 for ages 18 and older, half off with college ID. For the 21 and over crowd, entrance is free until 11 p.m. and $3 after that. On Fridays, it’s only 21 and over until 2 a.m. — free before 11 p.m. and $3 after — but 18 plus are welcome for afterhours, 2 to 4 a.m. for $10. Same deal for Saturdays except the over 21 crowd pays $5 to get in from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Stepping back in [ PREVIEW ] BY CASEY CARLSEN

After a year hiatus, the Nazareth College Arts Center Dance Festival will return Saturday and Sunday, May 3-4, but in a rather scaled down form compared to the last three years it was held.

The festival will run for two days, rather than the previous nine or ten, and is headlining with a lesser known, but solid talent, LehrerDance.

The Martha Graham Dance Company, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, and STREB Extreme Action Company performed during previous years.

Nazareth College marketing and publicity manager Mare Willow attributes the changes to a desire to better-serve Nazareth students and the college’s growing dance department by holding the festival before the academic year ends.

The headline show, Kaleidescopika (The Art of Unfolding) — a 3-way collaboration between LehrerDance, Cordis Quartet, and Brooklyn-based aerial and circus arts group MUSE — sounds exciting. Community guest, Heart of Dance, a troupe which includes dancers in wheelchairs and with other developmental disabilities, performs on Sunday night. The popular Dancing on the Grass program will feature Borinquen Dance Theatre, another local company. Borinquen provides serious dance training to at-risk teenagers. Pre-performance lectures and a master class are, again, included in the festival.

“We’re really excited to have the dance festival back and to be sharing it with our talented students this year,” Willow said.

“We’re showcasing a lot of diversity and it’s going to be great to expose our students to other ways of dance. Our theme is ‘What is Dance?’ and all three of the groups performing address this in their own way.”

LehrerDance, a Buffalo-based company formed by Jon Lehrer in 2007, performed in Dancing on the Grass during the 2012 dance festival. Lehrer is thrilled to be headlining this year. “From the grass to the theater,” he joked.

“Kaleidescopika is a wonderful integration of live music, athletic artistry and the awe-inspiring nature of aerial performance,” he said. “It really is like looking through a kaleidoscope. A beautiful experience for your senses.”

The show also features a vivid, multimedia backdrop.

The company, four men and four women, is known for its high-voltage athleticism and unique choreography. Lehrer’s choreography is a mixture of modern and jazz as is his dance experience and training.

Richard Grimes, the director of Cordis Quartet, approached Lehrer with his idea for a collaboration after seeing the company perform at Pennsylvania Presenters, a festival at Mercy 32 CITY APRIL 30 - MAY 6, 2014

Hurst College. Back in his hotel room that night, Lehrer listened to the CD Grimes had given him and knew he wanted in.

“To me, their music is the perfect combination of classic sensibility combined with a rock ‘n’ roll edge and intricate musicality,” he said.

LehrerDance performs in Nazareth’s Callahan Theater Saturday at 8 p.m. A pre-performance lecture takes place at 7 p.m. in the Peace Theater (room A14 in the lower level of the Arts Center).

Heart of Dance’s story is, indeed, a heartwarming one. Led by Diane Sturmer, also the Spiritual Life Coordinator/Community Bridge Builder at Heritage Christian Services where many of the performers live and work, it began with one woman in a wheelchair and her desire to dance.

“This all started 14 years ago when LehrerDance (members pictured) will headline this year’s my friend Nancy Craig singed the word Nazareth College Arts Center Dance Festival. PHOTO PROVIDED ‘dance’ to me,” Sturmer said. “I asked her if she wanted to be a dancer and she responded with a hearty yes.” movements, students learn to foster a dedicated Sturmer went back to school to earn her work ethic and a sense of discipline that help M.A. in Liberal Studies with a concentration in them succeed within a broader life framework.

Dance, produced a thesis entitled “Who Can Borinquen combines Puerto Rican Dance” and went on to create the company Folkloric dance and Latin contemporary to that put her ideas into action. Craig, now 65 produce audience-pleasing performances. years old, will be onstage Sunday.

The company will perform seven of Padilla Sturmer’s dance group grew to include Rodriguez’s choreographed works in the performers of all abilities — trained dancers, show. Another piece to be performed, dancers with wheelchairs and with various other “Kinetic Energy,” is a first attempt at disabilities, and guest dancers from around choreography by Karis Imani Perry; a the Rochester community. Over the last seven Borinquen dancer since 2008, Perry moves years, the 48-person company has preformed on to college next year. throughout the Rochester area, as well as reaching “To see her develop and grow — first as a Killarney, Ireland. Eventually, the group began dancer, then as a peer instructor, and now as a to make a little profit from ticket sales, which the choreographer — that’s what this program is all dancers were able to put back into charities of about,” Padilla-Rodriguez said last week. “Our their own choosing. There are currently over 60 goal is for our dancers to grow and become more people on the wait list to join Heart of Dance. connected with their selves, and then to share that Sturmer will speak at the pre-performance talent with the community.” lecture Sunday at 6 p.m in the Peace Theater.

Wars never really end, and as Faulkner said, the past is not even past — almost 70 years after the Japanese surrender in World War II, the horror of the conflict and the behavior of the enemy toward their Allied prisoners continue to trouble the memories of the survivors. A number of histories, memoirs, and novels recount the stories of captured soldiers and civilians, often inspiring some memorable films — most notably David

Lean’s “Bridge on the River Kwai,” but also “King Rat,” “Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence,” and “Empire of the Sun.” Now an Australian production, “The Railway Man,” returns to the war, to the jungles of Southeast Asia, to the notorious POW camp on the River Kwai.

Based on a memoir by Eric Lomax, a British soldier captured after the fall of Singapore, the movie concentrates on the persistence of memory, the crushing burden of a history of unimaginable pain. In 1980, Lomax (Colin Firth), who calls himself a “railway enthusiast,” first meets Patti (Nicole Kidman), who will become his wife, on a train, and with the encouragement of his pals at the Veterans Club, uses his encyclopedic knowledge of English train schedules to figure out a way to meet her on her return journey. Their brief courtship and subsequent marriage initially establish a mildly comic, mildly romantic tone that soon collapses under the burden of Lomax’s past.

Deeply disturbed by his memories of the Japanese camp, he experiences nightmares and

hallucinations, confuses his daily life with his time in prison, and alienates himself from his wife and friends. Since he refuses to reveal the source of his problems to Patti, she insists that his best friend, and fellow survivor, Finlay (Stellan Skarsgård) tell her the story of their experience in the war. From that point the script alternates between Eric’s present and his past, with frequent flashbacks that sometimes combine reality with delusions.

After a much smaller force inflicted the worst military defeat in British history in Singapore, the Japanese, who regarded a man who surrendered as a person without honor, merely an animal, treated their prisoners severely, violating most of the strictures of the Geneva Convention. In the film they pack the captured soldiers, including the young Eric Lomax (Jeremy Irvine), into boxcars, bringing them to the River Kwai to build that famous bridge. When the captors learn that their prisoners, under the leadership of Eric, a radio operator, have constructed a receiver, they embark on a campaign of brutal interrogation and punishment.

They beat Eric repeatedly with staffs and pick handles, starve him, confine him in a cramped cage, and worst of all, waterboard him — an act that the United States once officially regarded as torture but now practices with the blessing of Congress, the military, and the CIA. Eric’s chief antagonist, the man who haunts both his dreams and his waking life, is Nagase (Tanroh Ishida), the interpreter who yells incessant questions,

Horror head-to-head “The Dead Deads” (NR), DIRECTED BY ERIC MAIRA SCREENS FRIDAY, MAY 2, AT THE LITTLE THEATRE, 7 P.M.

“Oculus” (R), DIRECTED BY MIKE FLANAGAN NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

punctuated with beatings, about the radio and a map of the railroad. Somehow Eric survives the atrocious brutality, but of course remains a profoundly damaged man.

When Finlay discovers that Nagase is alive and now conducts tours of the camp, he urges Eric to return to the River Kwai and lay all his ghosts to rest. Eric’s return, and his confrontation with his old tormentor (Hiroyuki Sanada), initially a quest for revenge, turns into something very different, a confrontation that apparently heals his wounded spirit.

The historical truth of the picture’s essentially straightforward script underlines its validity and relevance, but simplifies much of the context, so that it lacks a good deal of necessary characterizing information. “The Railway Man” never even hints that Eric Lomax works at any kind of a job, for example, showing only his obsession with trains, as if that provided the entire substance of his life. Beyond the psychic wounds, despite the extraordinary cruelty of his treatment, his body strangely bears no marks or scars, a most unlikely circumstance.

Finally, despite its depiction of the wellknown Japanese treatment of military prisoners, its reiterated scenes of clubbings, beatings, the evidence of beheadings, the most disturbing subject in “The Railway Man” raises a troubling question: why is waterboarding torture when the Japanese practice it, but “enhanced interrogation” in American hands?

Making its official premiere this Friday at the Little Theatre, “The Dead Deads” is a new, Rochester-made horror movie from filmmakers Eric Maira and Patrick Montanaro — collectively known as “Werewolf House.” Filmed in their spare time over the course of several months last winter, (which accounts for the film’s general Christmas-y theme), the movie documents the gradual unraveling of a troubled young 20-something named Teagan (played by Montanaro).

Not satisfied with his job, involved in a romantic relationship that neither partner seems terribly invested in, and forced to take care of his aging mother while his sister shirks her familial responsibilities, Teagan grows ever more unstable. Meanwhile, he begins devoting an unhealthy amount of time to playing around with an old camcorder. The camera acts as his shield from the world, but quickly grows into an obsession.

A scene from “The Dead Deads.”

PHOTO COURTESY WEREWOLF HOUSE

Maira and Montanaro’s script takes a somewhat surrealistic approach to the story; one in which the horror is mostly of the psychological variety. This leads to a relatively slow build-up — arguably a touch too slow for the film’s less than 80 minute runtime — but I appreciated the time devoted to developing the main character’s plight, and the story is always interestingly told. It may be unpolished, but like the best horror films, the filmmakers find subtext to the horror, as they examine the ways we sometimes find ourselves turning into our parents (whether we want to or not) and what kind of effect that can have on someone for whom that’s akin to becoming a monster.

The filmmakers describe the movie as a “no budget horror film,” but they find ways to stretch their minimal resources in creative ways. They’re aided by a capable group on nonprofessional actors who make their roles convincing, though the script has a tendency to portray its female characters as needy, vindictive, or some combination of the two. Maira has a strong eye, creating some striking imagery out of the film’s everyday settings. It’s certainly rough around the edges, but to the filmmakers’ credit, they know exactly what they’re capable of pulling off. “The Dead Deads” is a promising debut for Werewolf House, made all the more impressive considering this is only its first feature film.

Also striking a compelling balance between

psychological drama and traditional horror film, “Oculus” tells the story of a brother and sister haunted by the violent deaths of their parents, which they witnessed as children.

The film opens as Tim (Brenton Thwaites) reunites with his sister, Kaylie (Karen Gillan), following his release from the mental hospital where he’s been since the night their parents died. Immediately, she tries to convince a reluctant Tim to return to their childhood home, where she hopes to prove what really happened all those years ago.

She intends to clear their parents’ names by proving that their deaths were in fact caused

by a malevolent antique mirror that she believes possesses the ability to manipulate the minds of its victims, forcing them to hurt themselves and anyone unfortunate enough to be around them. Her elaborate set-up includes cameras to document the events that unfold, regular check-ins from her fiancé, alarms to remind them to eat and drink, and most importantly, a fail-safe that will smash the mirror unless a timer is manually reset.

Once inside the house, director Mike Flanagan gets creative with the film’s construction, cutting back and forth between the two timelines, as we see the incidents from their childhood contrasted with what’s unfolding currently. As Tim and Kaylie argue over their memories of how things developed, the film suggests that the mirror may simply be Kaylie’s method for dealing with her trauma. Of course, this being a horror film, it’s no real surprise when it turns out that’s not the case, but the idea adds an intriguing subtext to the scares.

Kaylie and Tim are played as young children by Annalise Basso and Garrett Ryan, who do a fantastic job at portraying the horror of watching their parents slowly lose their minds and being unable to do anything about it. Flanagan wrings every bit of drama and terror from the children finding that the two people who are supposed to protect them from anything are suddenly a very real danger.

The inventive structure does end up being a bit of a hindrance as the line between what’s real, what’s a memory, and what’s fabricated within the character’s minds by the mirror grows increasingly fuzzy. When every development holds the possibility of being undone the next minute, it’s hard to get truly shaken when horrific things occur, causing the story to lose some of its urgency. Even if “Oculus” never becomes truly terrifying, the film maintains a pervasive sense of dread, and it’s clever and entertaining enough that I didn’t even mind an ending that makes sure to leave the door open for the inevitable sequel.

loops with six major climbs. It tears you apart. At one point, it was considered the hardest Ironman in the world.”

But McMahon’s dreams for the sport of triathlon exceeded individual competitive goals. He worried that the sport was losing its purpose. “It had become a sport where people were muscling out just to get branded with the Ironman symbol,” McMahon says. “The prices started going up; the fun started going down. We’re bringing the fun back to tri.”

Peasantman held its first competition last season, drawing 194 participants from several states and also Canada. People have already signed up for 2014. The course was designed by Jim Hogan at Geneva Bikes, using loops to allow athletes to easily access their special foods. As McMahon says, “You gotta eat or you’re gonna bonk.”

McMahon describes running the event as putting up a tent city and then responding to athletes with a million questions. For him, the way to achieve balance between family, education, selfemployment, and launching his own race events has been multitasking.

“I realized a long time ago that nobody cares what I do before 8 a.m.” McMahon says. “I started getting up at 5 a.m. every 36 CITY APRIL 30 - MAY 6, 2014

morning. I built a desk over the top of my cycling trainer. I do what my wife and daughter need first and I schedule around that calendar. You can throw in a load of laundry before hopping on the bike,” McMahon says. hile no one I i n te r v i e w e d seemed to know

exactly why, our area has become home for so many multisport events. Ideas ranged from the abundance of waterways to the willingness of municipalities to work with race directors to the sheer number of people eager to take on a new fitness challenge. Everyone interviewed has traveled for events, but they all return home for 12-month training, focusing on weaknesses and facing adversity.

But there was definitely a common theme: “camaraderie.”

“I set new challenges all the time, pushing myself to do greater distances each year, longer distance runs, longer distance bike rides outside of the tris, but what keeps me in it is the people that I have met,” Burkey-Kelly says. “I have met some incredible people — inspiring, motivating, encouraging, down-to-earth-good people.”

Nestled Near the Hillside 62 Alliance Avenue The Upper Monroe neighborhood is often seen as the quieter, serene sister to the more brazen and outspoken Monroe Avenue-Park AvenueEast Avenue nexus. Tucked behind the wooded slope of Pinnacle Hill, the neighborhood encompasses an eclectic mix of historic American residential architecture amidst a diverse cluster of businesses.

62 Alliance Avenue is right in the heart of this unique neighborhood. This burgundy-tinted American Foursquare invites you in through a spacious front porch framed by terraced gardens. Stepping through the front door, the spectacular main stairway is truly a centerpiece to behold. The handcrafted woodwork has been lovingly restored to near mint condition and it sets the tone for the rest of the home.

Just to the right of the entrance is the spacious living room. Light floods into this room from the large picture window at the front of the house. A beautifully preserved, built-in bookcase matches the rest of the gleaming woodwork in the room.

The other spaces on the first floor are equally breathtaking. The kitchen is fully updated, with new white cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Superior design choices were made in the space, including tile backsplashes and beautiful hardwood floors, to ensure the new kitchen maintained a link to the look and feel of the rest of the house.

The dining room is stunning, with rich hunter green walls that complement the

pristine natural woodwork and leaded glass windows. Of particular interest are the majestic crossed ceiling beams. At each of the four cross points are small lighting fixtures, possibly gaslights original to the home, which cast a warm glow across the room. It’s a very distinguished space that is ideal for dinner parties and entertaining. An added bonus is a full bathroom located at the rear of the room.

The second floor boasts four wellproportioned bedrooms, one of which has been converted to a second floor laundry room. Each of the bedrooms retains all the classic features that make this house so special, including hardwood floors, original wood trim, and large closets. The second floor bathroom is completely updated in a classic black-and-white tiled motif that fits well with the home’s character.

As is typical of Foursquares, the third floor attic offers a full-sized storage space that has the potential to become much more. With three windows framing the large open area and sturdy wood floors, it can easily become an extra bedroom, den, or office space.

62 Alliance Ave. offers approximately 1,766 square feet of living space and is listed at $169,900. Tours can be arranged by contacting Carl Hopfinger at 585-381-2222.

First-term U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho of Florida is already among the House’s most conservative members, but his Republican primary challenger claims to be even more so — but with a quixotic, longtime hobby as a costumed, role-playing “gamer.” Challenger Jake Rush (in his day job, a lawyer) portrays supernatural characters as a prominent member of the national Mind’s Eye Society and Florida’s Covenant of the Poisoned Absinthe, including a vampire named “Chazz Darling,” who, according to a Yahoo message board, once left an explicit, body-parts-bloodying threat to a role-player with whom he had been feuding. (The Florida political report SaintPetersBlog broke the story — and was quickly criticized, less by Rush’s political defenders than by the indignant “cosplay” community, feeling mocked.)

Government in Action

— A scandal erupted in 2013 at Minot (N.D.) Air Force Base when missile-launch specialists were charged with cheating on proficiency tests, but additional documents uncovered by the Associated Press in March 2014 show that the problem was worse than originally reported. The overall missile-launch program, run by “missileers,” was judged “substandard” — the equivalent of an F grade in school — and “rehabilitated” in the eyes of Air Force officers only because the 91st Missile Wing Command’s support staff (cooks, drivers, clerks, etc.) scored very high and brought the command’s overall performance to the equivalent of a D. — The tax software company Vertex reported in March, via the Tax Foundation, that tax-hating American states have somehow organized themselves into

nearly 10,000 sales/use-tax jurisdictions with distinct rules, coverages or exemptions. Ironically, states criticized as tax profligates sometimes have the simplest systems (e.g., one set of rules covering the entire state, such as in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Washington, D.C.) while states regarded as refuges from intrusive government often have the most complicated (e.g., 310 different jurisdictions in Utah, 587 in Oklahoma, 994 in Iowa and 1,515 in Texas).

— Formally asking a sweetheart to “please be my (boyfriend/girlfriend)” is said to be a traditional romantic milestone in Japanese relationships, and the town of Nagareyama in Chiba Prefecture now provides a government document to commemorate that big step (for a filing fee, of course). In fact, according to the news site RocketNews24.com, since only one party need file the document, the town hopes the form will become a strategic step to declare one’s love without the need for messy, face-to-face, rejection-risking confrontation (and also become a robust municipal-revenue producer).

Great Art!

— British artist Millie Brown, 27, profiled in January in London’s Daily Mail, creates Jackson Pollock-style canvases by vomiting on them after ingesting colored soy milk. Brown (whose work hangs in London’s Ripley’s Believe It or Not! showcase) said she fasts for two days prior to public performances and, as the show starts, times her ingestions so that the proper hues don’t prematurely mix in her stomach. Her appearance, at work, in a Lady Gaga music video brought her a somewhat larger audience. Said the understated Brown, “I am able to challenge people’s perceptions of beauty.”

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 41 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll exude sexuality and passion, but don’t let that lead to being cornered by someone looking for a one-night stand.

Intimacy is best reserved for a meaningful encounter with someone looking for a long romantic and fulfilling adventure down a path you both agree leads to the destination of choice.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Your warmth and charm will win hearts. Share your thoughts, morals and ethics regarding love, marriage and family, and you will attract someone who is looking for the same things you are. Don’t shy away from

someone who comes from a different background.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Good fortune will come through the people you meet. Someone will point you in a new direction and intrigue you mentally, physically and monetarily. Making last-minute alterations in order to accommodate someone will pay off and lead to a substantial life-altering improvement.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put more time and effort into you and your abilities, and someone watching will take an interest in what you do and who you are.

A partnership looks inviting and shows evidence that together you can build a strong, stable and

secure future. Start the process and don’t look back.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What you see and what you get will not be one and the same. Tread carefully when it comes to romance.

Someone is likely to put on a show to entice you, but when the curtain closes, disappointment will follow. Don’t fall for a falsified rendition of what someone portrays.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Put love and romance first this week.

Encounters will be plentiful if you get out and participate in functions and events that interest you. Love is on the rise, and romance should be the way you play the game. A fast-paced

game of love will lead to a long-lasting relationship.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll have plenty of suitors but trouble making up your mind. Don’t feel pressured; if anyone tries to push you to make an intimate decision, back away and move on to your next option. Getting to know someone personally takes time, and time is on your side.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll thrive on love, passion and romance. Gravitate toward the one who offers you intrigue, mystery and a physical connection that you cannot deny, and you’ll discover a genuine mental connection that takes you deeper into a relationship than you have ever

been before. Enjoy the moment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Excitement is heading your way, but you aren’t likely to end up with the person you thought you were getting. Have fun, but protect your health, wealth and reputation. Deception is in the stars, and the information given isn’t likely to be accurate. Put your money in a safe place.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Talks can lead to a warm and happy relationship. Take your time and don’t feel pressured to make a move that will tie you to someone. If the relationship is good, it will mature with time, bringing you everything you want in a long-lasting union.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be careful how you handle affairs of the heart. Not everyone will have the same motives as you, and if you are too gullible, you may end up giving someone something you shouldn’t part with so quickly. Don’t settle for someone because you don’t want to be alone.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are ready to settle. Take a serious approach to love, marriage and having a family. Don’t be afraid to discuss your personal goals, and you will weed through the partners who have potential and those who have none. A commitment can be made if you get the right answers.
