Dish 2011 Warning: do not lick this cover. You might get a paper cut on your tongue, and it probably won’t taste very good to boot. It’s time for another edition of Dish, City Newspaper’s food and dining guide. If the photo above excites you, and you want to get more intimately acquainted with some of Rochester’s more interesting chicken wings, check out Emily Faith’s round-up. Nothing goes better with wings than beer, and James Leach has put together a fascinating look at some of the newest players on the local craft-beer scene. Find out about several ambitious brew

lovers who decided to take their passion for beer and turn into buzz-worthy businesses. But man cannot live on beer and wings alone. To round out this issue of Dish Heather Charlton appeals to our healthier side with a piece on edible accountability. You know, eating locally sourced ingredients, being picky about what you put into your body, etc. The good news is if you have some of those locally brewed beers, and you can find some organic chicken wings, you’ll still be eating conscientiously!

urban journal | by mary anna towler

Seeking a vision for Monroe County In less than six months, we’ll be voting for one of the region’s most important public officials, Monroe County executive. While Maggie Brooks hasn’t formally announced that she’ll run again, the Republicans haven’t pushed anyone else into the limelight, and Brooks’ State of the County address on Monday night sure sounded like a campaign speech. Running against her is another strong, bright, politically savvy woman, Sandy Frankel, the Democratic supervisor of the Town of Brighton. There’s the potential for this to be quite a race. There are substantially more registered Democrats than Republicans in Monroe County (although nearly a third of voters aren’t registered in any party or are registered in third parties). Serious scandals have popped up periodically during Brooks’ tenure: the airport cigars, Robutrad, the Water Authority, the sports center. Brooks says that she dealt firmly and immediately with these, but is that enough? Do these problems say nothing about the quality of her appointments and her oversight? Frankel will no doubt bring up all of this, but Brooks will have plenty of money for an ad campaign to mute that message. And anyway, voters seem to have given the scandals a big yawn. Do they agree that Brooks has responded properly? Or are we all so jaded that we figure this is just the way government operates these days? And as important as they are, the scandals aren’t the only things we need to talk about during this campaign. The health and future of the county involve much, much more. During Monday’s State of the County address, we got a hint of what we can expect from a Brooks campaign. Brooks noted that her administration has held the tax rate flat — that, in fact, it’s lower now than it was when she took office. And Republicans have already signaled that they’ll hammer away at Frankel for raising taxes in Brighton. Is this the best we can do? Seriously: Is never raising taxes the Number 1 priority for the Community of Monroe? Brooks also focused on economic development in Monday’s speech, pointing to businesses that have stayed here when they might have moved away, and noting that we have attracted some new ones. But much of what we’ve done has been simply moving businesses

Is this the best we can do? Is never raising taxes the Number 1 priority for the Community of Monroe?” around, from one town to another — and giving them tax incentives to do it. Is this the best we can do? There are certainly bright spots in this community, many of which Brooks noted on Monday night. And there’s plenty of hope for the future, if we can find a way to build effectively on our resources. And yet… the population remains flat. We haven’t replaced the quality jobs that we lost as major industry cut back. And we are an increasingly segregated community — racially as well as economically. Brooks gave a nod Monday night to the importance of community: “We can accomplish more together than we can alone or in competition,” she said. But even as she said that, the latest county budget pulls away from that philosophy. As the Democrat and Chronicle noted recently, Brooks and the County Legislature, dominated by suburban Republicans, have been increasing fees and other charges while they kept the tax rate flat. And the less wealthy parts of the community — including the city — have been hit hardest. For instance, the budget increases the charge that the city and suburban towns now have to pay for their residents who attend Monroe Community College — penalizing the cash-strapped city for its students who go to MCC rather than a more expensive school. Is this the best we can do? How can a community with this much potential stay stuck for so long? What is it we have to do to be what we ought to be? It would be nice to think that the county-executive race would include a discussion about that.

Milling around for space at Mill Seat

In her story “Creed or Chaos,” the detective-fiction author Dorothy Sayers wrote, “A society in which consumption has to be artificially stimulated in order to keep production going is a society founded on trash and waste, and such a society is a house built upon sand.” Sounds like America in 2011. Which brings us to the February 1 County Legislature meeting, where legislators unanimously approved a resolution that facilitates the expansion of the Mill Seat Landfill. Granted, solid waste needs a proper home; otherwise, we wind up with an environmental nightmare. But this expansion — instead of a waste-to-energy plant — compounds the original error of a landfill in Riga, costing the county 12 years of electric generation. An incomplete and poorly promoted recycling regimen allowed thousands of cubic yards of space to be lost. Just in terms of corrugated boxes, the county continues to lose money as tonnage winds up in Riga due to carelessness and container issues at retail, office, and school locations. At $175 to $195 per ton, that starts to add up. • As of June of last year, according to Waste and Recycling News, there were 214 firms in the US and Canada who were buying, selling, and brokering all grades of plastic. • The technology exists to extract motor oil from Number 2 plastic bottles, so both can be recycled. • Fluorescent light tubes are recyclable. Yet they keep getting thrown out, although they are hazardous due to mercury. • The Western New York Materials Exchange was around long before websites such as Craigslist, Freecycle, etc. Yet the county has done a feeble job of promoting this, which would keep reusable items out of the landfill. (The website is mat-ex.org.) • Most construction and demolition debris is recyclable, as proven by an eastern New York

firm, which claims a 97 percent recycling rate. • There are 79 carpet reclamation sites in the US. One gallon of oil is lost for every 3 square yards of carpet that’s landfilled, according to Waste Age magazine. With the price of oil rising, OPEC sends its thanks. • A Massachusetts company has begun diverting auto glass, with the plastic portion and the glass itself being turned into other products. • Almost every entity in the county has issues with yard waste. At the same time, the county operates an organics facility near the airport, and a Cleveland firm is looking to expand geographically and process more tonnage. As long as the county doesn’t pursue these and other revenue and space-saving opportunities, expanding Mill Seat isn’t, as one legislator called it, a “win-win.” As A. Whitney Brown wrote in “The Big Picture”: “The First Cause of environmental degradation is ignorance.” JEFF GOLDBLATT, IRONDEQUOIT

Our energy future

We have entered a period of global warming and peak oil. As we seek new sources of oil from tar sands and through ocean drilling and as we extract natural gas through fracking and obtain coal through mountaintop removal, we are damaging the very environment that sustains us. This nation needs to make some important decisions as to how we will meet our present and future energy needs while protecting our environment for future generations. While we do not know how the crisis at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power complex will eventually unfold, proponents of nuclear energy tout it as greenhouse-gas free. However, it will take hundreds of nuclear plants with approximately 10 years of construction time to make any significant contribution. Meanwhile, the front-end cycle (the mining, milling, and fabrication of uranium) is energy intensive and produces greenhouse gases and exposes miners and fabricators to radiation while leaving radioactive mine tailings behind. The back end of the cycle involves temporarily storing nuclear fuel rods until a final safe

repository can be found, dealing with low-level nuclear waste, and decommissioning the nuclear reactors and removing the radioactive components from our living environment. There are at least six major areas of concern: 1) Safety. Equipment failure or human error can result in major radiation releases. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission contracted the Brookhaven National Laboratory to calculate the worst-case scenario from a core meltdown. Their revised Wash 740 report (1964-65) found that the maximum damage from a nuclear power plant melt-down would result in 45,000 deaths, 100,000 injuries, property damage of $17 billion, and contamination of land area the size of the state of Pennsylvania. The CRAC-II 1982 Sandia National Laboratory estimation of a core meltdown at the Indian Point reactors was equally as frightening — 50,000 deaths, 150,000 injuries, and property damage between $274 and $314 billion. 2) Finding a permanent repository for high-level nuclear waste. Yucca Mountain has basalt beds that are porous, and it is no longer a candidate. 3) Nuclear weapons proliferation. Reactors produce waste that potentially, with the right equipment, can be made into nuclear bombs (note our quarrels with Iran and North Korea). 4) Terrorism. Nuclear power facilities are easy targets for terrorists, with the potential for massive destruction and death and injury. 5) Expense. The public has subsidized the nuclear power industry with well over $130 billion, and the cost of dismantling and securely storing nuclear reactors once they end their power production is unknown, as is the cost of securely storing nuclear waste. 6) The potential release of massive amounts of radiation from spent fuel pools should they lose their water shield. Once falsely sold as “too cheap to meter,” it truly is a massive human health and safety threat. We have the potential to meet the majority of our energy needs through a mixture of alternative energy production, conservation, and energy efficiency. The only thing standing between making this vision a reality is a Congress captured and beholden to the fossil fuel industry. It is time for an energy Apollo Program. PETER R. MITCHELL, ROCHESTER

State says replace airport board

A draft report from the state Authorities Budget Office says the board of the Monroe County Airport Authority should be replaced. The report seizes on a recent scandal at the airport, where former director David Damelio used airport credit cards at strip clubs and to buy cigars. The draft report questions the legitimacy of those and other expenses.

Frankel to run for county exec

Brighton Supervisor Sandra Frankel, a Democrat, is giving up her chance to seek re-election and is instead running for Monroe County executive. Frankel’s opponent is Republican County Executive Maggie Brooks, a matchup pitting two popular and experienced elected leaders against each other. During a press conference announcing her candidacy, Frankel aggressively attacked Brooks over a series of scandals that happened during Brooks’ time in office. The election is on November 8.

Bar: fix the defender selection process

The Monroe County Bar Association wants a 12-member independent

commission to screen future public-defender candidates. The Public Defender Task Force has released a report and recommendations on the selection and reappointment of the county’s public defender. The commission would select three to five candidates for the County Legislature to choose from. The report also calls for extending the public defender’s term from two to four years, and for an independent committee to review reappointments.

Rochester school board scorecard

Early plans for Collegetown revealed

The Collegetown project on Mt. Hope could include 148,000 square feet of office space; 143,000 square feet of retail, including a 25,000-square-foot bookstore; 140 market-rate apartments; a satellite transit center; a hotel and conference center; a grocery store; and a fitness center. City Council members and city staffers got a look at early project plans last week. Collegetown would also offer an active schedule of events with music, art shows, and other activities. The project would span 16 acres on Mt. Hope, near the Brighton town border.

Rochester school board member Van White says union concessions would help save jobs in the school district. FILE PHOTO

It’s been an intense two weeks for the Rochester school board, and there’s no sign of relief in sight. First up: the board has interviewed five candidates for interim superintendent, in anticipation of the departure of Superintendent JeanClaude Brizard. (Brizard could leave as soon as Friday.) Tim Mains, School 50 president and a former City Council member, and former school board president Bolgen Vargas seem to be the favorites. But Kim Dyce-Faucette, the district’s chief of staff, has some support as well. The board met in executive session last night, and may have decided on a name by now. Board members have looked closely at local candidates because they say they want someone who can reconnect with parents, teachers, and the community following several combative budget hearings. Next: the board approved a $681.2-million budget for 20112012 that could result in the cutting of more than 800 jobs; more than

550 of those could be teaching jobs. Before voting to approve the budget last week, board member Van White said he hoped the unions agree to concessions to help reduce the number of district employees who will lose their jobs. RTA representatives met yesterday, after this paper’s deadline, to decide if the union can negotiate concessions with the district. RTA President Adam Urbanski said before the vote that he wasn’t sure what would happen. The district has not clarified what it wants in the way of concessions, Urbanski said, so RTA members didn’t know what they were voting for. And anti-union statements by board member Cynthia Elliott have angered many RTA members, Urbanski said. “You can’t spew hatred toward people and then ask them to help you,” he said.

The neighborhood needs businesses that create jobs and attract people to the area, not chase them away. The Ames Street salvage-yard proposal would put the property back on the tax rolls, but it could depress property values in the long run, says DeWain Feller, president of the 19th Ward Community Association.

NEIGHBORHOODS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Junkyard wars DeWain Feller says he can think of better ways to welcome people to the city than a 15-acre auto salvage yard at Ames Street and West Avenue. The area is just off the I-490 expressway and is a major gateway into the city. Feller is president of the 19th Ward Community Association. City Hall has received an application to put a salvage yard at 95 Ames Street. The project is described as an automobile dismantling and salvage yard with retail sales of used auto parts. Feller says the proposal is a bad fit for the area. The parcel is adjacent to housing on two sides and is also close to the Danforth Community Center. The center is actually the rear wing of the historic George Danforth House at 200 West Avenue. “It’s the most significant example in the city of a Gothic Revival home,” says the Landmark Society’s Cynthia Howk. The proposed salvage yard would be located on property formerly occupied by Taylor Instruments, an iconic Rochester business. “It was a very, very attractive brick building,” Feller says. “So even though it was manufacturing, it really presented itself well to the neighborhood. It was very compatible.” Many of Taylor’s employees also lived in the neighborhood, which speaks to another of Feller’s points: The neighborhood needs

businesses that create jobs and attract people to the area, he says, not chase them away. The salvageyard proposal would put the property back on the tax rolls, he says, but it could DeWain Feller depress property values PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK in the long run. In addition to the 19th Ward group, the proposal is opposed by the Sector 4 Community Development Corporation and the Dutchtown neighborhood group, Feller says. Bret Garwood, the city’s director of business and housing development, says it’s important to let the process play out, especially given the property’s troubled environmental history. (Taylor produced mercury-filled glass instruments.) “We have to provide developers an opportunity to make their case,” Garwood says. “It’s an extremely difficult site to re-use.” Feller says he hopes that given the opposition, the developer will withdraw the proposal, but he’s not waiting. The 19th Ward group will send a letter opposing the salvage yard to City Council, Feller says, and will probably go door to door to collect letters of opposition.

IMMIGRATION | BY JEREMY MOULE

Monroe County joins controversial program

ILLUSTRATION BY MATT DETURCK

People arrested in Monroe County, either by sheriff’s deputies or by local police, traditionally have their fingerprints sent to several state and federal agencies. Now they’ll also be sent to a federal agency charged with enforcing immigration law. In March, Monroe County joined Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Secure Communities initiative. As of May 3, twenty-four of New York’s 62 counties — 39 percent — were participating. The program started in 2008, during the Bush administration. It was rolled out in border states, but the Obama administration is expanding the program. ICE says it plans to have the initiative in place nationwide by 2013, though there are questions about whether it’ll be a mandatory program. Secure Communities works like this: after participating police agencies arrest and book people, they share the arrestees’ fingerprints with ICE. The immigration enforcement agency checks the prints against its records to determine the arrestees’ immigration status. ICE will issue a detainer if the search shows that a person may be in the country illegally. Detainers are formal requests for lawenforcement agencies to notify ICE as soon as possible about impending releases. The detainers also ask that the subjects be held City

MAY 11-17, 2011

for up to 48 hours beyond the time they would otherwise be released, so agents have a chance to take the subjects into custody. There is a separate process to determine whether the people ICE takes into custody will be deported. The idea is to make sure that undocumented immigrants, particularly ones who have committed serious crimes, aren’t released before federal agents can check their immigration status or take them into custody, says John Caher, a spokesperson for the State Division of Criminal Justice Services. The agency signed on to Secure Communities in May 2010. “The state has a public-safety interest in identifying and deporting serious alien defendants,” Caher says. The program has come under fire from immigrant advocacy groups, civil libertarians, and editorial pages. Among the complaints is that it could encourage racial profiling, and that it might keep immigrants from reporting crimes. On paper, Secure Communities’ focus is on undocumented immigrants who have been convicted of serious crimes: murder, rape, robbery, drug offenses, and burglary for example. But civil liberties and immigrant rights groups say that

undocumented immigrants who aren’t dangerous make up the vast majority of people turned over to ICE. The New York Civil Liberties Union analyzed Secure Communities data released by ICE earlier this year. The analysis found that about 7 percent of the fingerprints that New York counties submitted to ICE between January 11 and February 28, 2011, were flagged as belonging to suspected undocumented immigrants. As a result, ICE took into custody 30 people arrested by New York police agencies — though none had been deported. A match in the ICE system does not guarantee that a person is actually in the country illegally. NYCLU’s analysis classified 80 percent of those 30 detainees as non-criminals — meaning their offenses were minor. “It becomes a dragnet,” says Ami Kadar, director of the Albion-based Independent Farmworkers’ Center. The State Division of Criminal Justice Services was the first New York law-

enforcement agency to sign on to Secure Communities. Counties started participating in January, though Monroe started in March. Orleans, Genesee, Niagara, Livingston, Ontario, Seneca, Yates, and Steuben counties

all participate. And state DCJS officials say they expect Wayne County to join at the end of the month. The DCJS lists the county sheriff’s office, the county correctional facility, the county jail, and the county Probation Department as participants, as well as every police department in Monroe County. The Monroe County jail has a central booking system, and anyone who is arrested, arraigned, and brought to the jail is fingerprinted by deputies as part of the booking process. Those prints are transmitted to DCJS, and checked against FBI records. Because the county and state participate in Secure Communities, the prints taken during booking are now also sent to ICE. The initiative has its supporters, including some in local law enforcement. Gates Police Chief David DiCaro says he doesn’t have any reservations about participating in Secure Communities. And he says he doesn’t object to sharing information with immigration officials. The New York State Sheriffs’ Association — Monroe County Sheriff Patrick O’Flynn is first vice president of the group — issued a letter in support of S-COMM. The letter says that there are about 400,000 “criminal aliens” in state prisons and local jails across the country. S-COMM helps agencies detain and remove such prisoners through information sharing, the letter says “Our association supports your efforts to create a partnership with local law enforcement for the identification and proper handling of illegal aliens in our county jails, and we will encourage participation by all of our members,” the letter says. Communities and local police departments can’t opt out of the program, though some are trying: San Francisco and Arlington, Virginia among them, says a report by the Wall Street Journal. Chicago is resisting pressure to opt in, and Illinois Governor Pat Quinn wants to remove the entire state from the initiative, say other media reports. Law enforcement and ICE officials cast the

program as a cooperative model of public safety. Critics say Secure Communities fundamentally changes the relationship between immigrants — legal and undocumented — and law enforcement. The whole debate touches on the question of whether local police officers should be involved with enforcing federal immigration laws. Years of pre-Secure

Racial profiling is difficult to prove, says KaeLyn Rich, director of NYCLU’s Genesee Valley chapter. Many immigrants fear retaliation, she says, and are unlikely to file a complaint or to report police misconduct.FILE PHOTO

Communities programs have already given local law enforcement some of that authority. Advocates worry, however, that blurring those lines might have a chilling effect on crime reporting among undocumented immigrants and even legal immigrants. Many undocumented immigrants fear that any contact with a police officer or sheriff’s deputy could mean deportation, advocates say. “I think that there already is tension between immigrant communities and police,” says KaeLyn Rich, director of NYCLU’s Genesee Valley chapter. Critics of Secure Communities also worry that the initiative may encourage racial profiling. NYCLU and immigrantworker advocates say they suspect some drivers are already being stopped solely based on their appearance. Police are supposed to have probable cause to stop or arrest a person. But because of Secure Communities, say NYCLU officials, overzealous officers could arrest people for minor infractions, just to be able to run their fingerprints through the federal systems. Officer Stephen Scott, spokesperson for the Rochester Police Department, says that view is extreme and “jumps to several conclusions.” “We do not profile races,” he said. “We target criminal behavior.” Proving racial profiling is complicated, say NYCLU officials. Immigrants are unlikely to file a complaint and they often don’t report police misconduct for fear of retaliation, Rich says. There’s one other issue with Secure

Communities that critics find especially troubling: the program operates quietly and without much, if any, public oversight.

The Monroe County Legislature was never given the opportunity to consider or scrutinize the agreement, even though it involves the county Sheriff’s Office. “We’re talking about major issues that should be discussed in public,” Rich says. The process was clearer in Wayne County. On March 15, the Board of Supervisors publicly considered and passed a resolution to enter into the initiative. The resolution gave explicit authority to the Wayne County sheriff to enter into an agreement with the state DCJS. Under the agreement, the state agency can share fingerprints it gets from the county sheriff’s office with ICE. The broad issue of immigration underlies the

debate around S-COMM. Republicans and Democrats in Congress have said the visa system needs reform, but disagree on how to do it. It’s not uncommon for undocumented immigrants to try to get the proper papers to come to the US and work, only to give up when it takes too long or gets too complicated. Last week, the Washington Post reported that Obama and some of his aides plan to make another push for immigration reform. Although the president has stressed the subject in recent public speeches, he’s been light on details. He has simply said that he wants a path to citizenship combined with tougher border security. States, too, have started going their own way, with Arizona taking perhaps the most extreme approach. The state passed a law requiring immigrants to carry their papers with them at all times; they face criminal charges if caught without papers. The law also directs police officers to check a person’s immigration status during a stop or arrest. That provision has been struck down by federal courts, but Arizona officials are going to appeal to the US Supreme Court. The Obama administration filed the lawsuit challenging the law. NYCLU ultimately wants New York to rescind its agreement with ICE. The organization views S-COMM as one of several immigration-enforcement programs that are hostile toward people who come to the US as economic refugees. “It’s part of a much larger conversation about immigration reform,” Rich says. “How do we live up to our promise to be a welcoming state to immigrants?”

Coal comforts [ CHOW HOUND ] BY SUSIE HUME

Originally built as a private residence in 1875, the Green Lantern Inn in Fairport has served as a boarding house, a tavern, and a full-service restaurant in its 135 years. For the past seven years, under the ownership of Matt and Stephanie Laurence, the French chateaustyle landmark house has acted as an upscale banquet facility. On Wednesday, May 4, the couple expanded the offerings at the Green Lantern Inn with the opening of The Cellar Door restaurant. “We have been wanting to put a restaurant in the house since we purchased it,” says co-owner Stephanie Laurence, “But the room we had in mind to use needed to be completely gutted down to dirt floors and studs and rebuilt.” The room where the restaurant now resides (originally the house’s coal cellar) has been vacant since 1986, when it acted as a tavern called The Lamp, but was known as “the rathskeller” (a name for a below-ground tavern) by the locals who frequented it. After months of rebuilding and remodeling, the new cozy restaurant space pays respect to the Victorian era of the house with details like a recessed chimney behind the bar, backlit stained glass, muted-green lightreflective wallpaper, and an old-fashioned Vulcan stove acting as the hostess podium. “We really wanted to make it period appropriate without it being stuffy Victorian,” says Stephanie. The restaurant’s menu also shuns any notions of stuffiness, focusing on reasonably

priced reinvented classics. Co-owner Matt Laurence acts as head chef and comes with the pedigree of running a 4-star hotel restaurant in Baltimore before returning to his hometown of Fairport. The lunch menu includes meticulously prepared sandwiches and salads like a turkey sandwich on a cranberry pretzel roll served with thyme mayonnaise, a mango and chicken salad served over mixed greens with a homemade dressing, and the Cellar Door’s signature item, the Maryland-style crab cakes (served with remoulade) that Matt perfected during his tenure in Baltimore. The Cellar Door’s dinner menu will rotate on a monthly basis to take advantage of seasonal ingredients, but will always include a beef, chicken, pork, seafood, vegetarian, and pasta option. May’s dinner menu includes a filet of haddock crusted with crab served with a roasted garlic sherry sauce, wild mushroom crepes with béarnaise and lemon zest, roasted organic chicken infused with fresh thyme, a grilled pork loin chop, a sirloin filet, and a pasta primavera made with a lemon pepper mafaldine — a special blend pasta made solely for the restaurant by Flour City Pasta (1000 Turk Hill Road). The restaurant also features an extensive bar menu featuring several local brews, red and white wines, and many classic or unique cocktails like the monkey gland (gin, absinthe, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and grenadine) and the French 77 (New York state sparkling wine, elderflower liqueur, and fresh lemon). The Cellar Door is located at 1 East Church St. Lunch prices range from $8 to $15; dinner prices range from $14 to $18.

beginning of this month from the Village of Webster to a newly remodeled downtown location. The new location features an artisan coffee and espresso bar, a classroom for coffee classes and “cuppings” — a coffee-tasting technique somewhat akin to a wine tasting to determine taste, aroma, and body — and on-site coffee roasting, which can be viewed by patrons. “As wholesale roasters, we realized that a lot of our customers are in the city, so we decided to move,” says owner Kathy Turiano. “It also let us offer a larger retail coffee bar.” The artisan coffee and espresso bar features beverages made one cup at a time, employing a pour-over brewing technique that takes more time, but ensures a better-tasting, more artfully prepared brew. Joe Bean will also offer a limited menu of coffee-friendly treats from local artisan bakers, including organic biscotti from Brighton-based Biscotti for Everybody. The space will also feature artwork from local photographers, videographers, and sculptors on a rotating basis. Joe Bean Coffee Roasters is located at 1344 University Ave. Prices range from $3 to $4. It is open Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m. and Saturdays noon-6 p.m. For more information, call 319-5279 or visit joebeanroasters.com.

[ HARD ROCK ] Chicago’s heavy-hitting quartet Bible of

the Devil is a classic example of rock music that’s hard and heavy without being classified as metal. Sure, when things get loud, the line blurs and the band undoubtedly gets fans from both sides of the street. But it’s BOD’s slick and keen harmonic riffs amidst the rolling thunder that separates it from the herd and keeps it from simply collapsing under its own power, weight, and chaos. Think Motor Lizzy. High Spirits and Rochester’s own demons of doom, Blizaro, share the bill. — FRANK DE BLASE

Creole is usually played by smaller ensembles with the rhythms and counter rhythms taking their cues from the accordion. Frank is of this tradition, however, the exuberance and electric energy associated with zydeco creeps in there as well for your dancing pleasure. And in keeping with the tradition of straddling tradition and the tint of other styles, Frank’s band features two former Donna The Buffalo players, guitarist Jim Miller and bassist Jed Greenberg. Their music was once colored by Frank, now they wield the brush. — BY FRANK DE BLASE The b e s t is on

the max. I left with my ears ringing. Saturday night Stone Temple Pilots piled roughly 4,000 fans into the Main Street Armory. Rose Hill Drive opened with the kind of music that was played when hippies were more about dope and chaos than peace and love. I could only catch the band’s broad strokes, more like a general idea, as a lot of Rose Hill Drive’s nuances got lost in the rafters, except for some of the theremin-like screams from the lead guitar amidst the band’s classically rooted rock. Opening with “Crackerman” and closing with “Sex Type Thing” before an enthusiastic encore, STP played a fantastic set and seemed to harness the sound a little better than the opening act. That, or maybe it’s just that the songs are all so recognizable, modern classics that made the lone cover — Led Zeppelin’s “Dancing Days” — sound like one of the band’s own concoctions. No longer waif-thin, singer Scott Weiland spent a good deal of the set barking through his trademark megaphone as the band plowed through all its hits along with a couple of tasty teases of what’s to come.

ROCHESTER'S BIGGEST DANCE PARTY SATURDAYS

Got to spend an excellent evening in the antique surroundings of the Rochester Academy of Medicine, which was hosting a listening party for jazz singer Susan Krasner’s new CD, “For You.” Usually when someone like me strolls into a swank pad like this, they count the silverware once I’ve gone. Anyhow, “For You” is a fine collection of Krasner’s take on the spiritual realm, as she intones elegantly with passages that elevate, shimmy, and shine. Friday night at The Club @ Water Street (where they don’t count their silverware) I caught Scholar pounding out its unique indie rock. The band’s melodic lines are sturdy and at the same time fractured as the band searches — and finds — new ways to wring some fresh blood out of rock ’n’ roll’s parched carcass. Singer Steven Blaqart’s voice is utterly amazing. No falsetto here, kids; the man is hitting those notes for real. Syracuse’s 9 Round came out guns blazing with its nu-metal pedal all the way down, and the volume all the way up. These guys mix aggression and fun with just a hint of the ominous to the overall mix. And that mix was pushed to

our tattoos have faded, some of us might think back to the golden age of heavy metal that has occupied this time and place. Rochester Metal Fest, a three-day extravaganza featuring 29 local and regional bands, is the latest example of this headbanger’s nirvana.

Wednesday, May 11

What’s the songwriting process for Violet Mary? Mel: It kind of depends. There are two

songwriters: I write and Mike writes. I write more lyrics, Mike writes more riffs. Mike: What really comes natural for us is writing. It’s not uncommon for us to write a song every rehearsal. The hard part is writing simple; not overthinking it, not overplaying it, not overwriting it. How do you do that? Mike: What we did on this last record, when

someone was jamming on an idea, I would just start moving back and forth. And the moment I stopped doing that, if we continued, we’d overwritten the song. At this point, the audience, who doesn’t know the song, doesn’t know the background, doesn’t know the words — all they can do is move to it. Violet Mary is (from left) Scott Butcher, Martin Dorren, Mel Muscarella, Mike Muscarella, and Scott Cranfill. PHOTO BY FRANK DE BLASE

Violet Mary’s wild ride Violet Mary Opens for Uncle Plum Saturday, May 21 The Jukebox, 5435 West Ridge Road, Spencerport 9 p.m. | $5 | 352-4505 violetmary.com [ INTERVIEW ] By Frank De Blase

Rochester rock quintet Violet Mary is a passenger on its own wild ride. With elements of classic rock, British blues, pop, and strains found in the many cracks in between, Violet Mary is hard to pinpoint yet impossible to ignore. Coming together in 2008 as a power trio, the band quickly grew to accommodate the bristling dynamics its own music presented. It released its debut CD “Marionette” in 2008, followed by “After The Plunge” in the fall of 2010. Since that time it has solidified its line-up — Martin Dorren, bass; Scott Cranfill, rhythm guitar/percussion; Scott Butcher, drums; Mike Muscarella, lead guitar; and Mel Muscarella, keys and lead vocals — as well as that line-up’s specific duties. The band is open about the impact of its influences, though its talent and cohesiveness captures and blends those influences to the point of ownership. Violet Mary sounds like Violet Mary, period. With shows lined-up for the summer and a new album in the embryonic stages, we had a chat with the band. Below is an edited transcript of what was said. 14 City MAY 11-17, 2011

CITY: So Violet Mary was going to be a power trio? Mike Muscarella: Sort of like Cream. That

was the ideal line-up. Mel and I had just finished a band called Theophilus, and she was going to take a break from the band thing for a while. So we were going to do the Cream thing and then Mel said, “What I if I sing on a couple of songs?” She started singing and we said, “No, wait a minute. We need to be a four-piece and Mel needs to sing.” So there goes your power trio. Mike: It moved away from the Cream thing

and into the mid-Zeppelin thing. We started to write a little more fleshed out with the voice and keys. And now the keys are now a driving force in the band? Mike: We’ve actually talked about this next

record as being less keys-oriented so Mel is more free to be a front person as opposed to being strapped to the keyboards.

Are you a keyboard player who sings, or a singer who plays keyboards? Mel Muscarella: I would have originally put

myself as a keyboard player who sings but I’ve changed my mind now. Also, I have a keytar now.

How has the band progressed or changed over the last three-plus years? Mel: It’s not Cream. Mike: For me it’s taken several turns. Turns you’ve taken or been taken on? Mike: Some of these turns personally I feel I’ve

been taken on — that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re bad. There have been several points when the band has been challenging, bringing in an idea you’ve got a lot of stock in and watching it go through the machine. It comes out better, but not what you thought it would be. But doesn’t that always happen? Mike: There are a couple of songs that came

out as I expected.

What does Violet Mary bring to the Rochester scene? Scott Cranfill: I feel no one in writing music

as compelling as ours.

What’s so compelling about it? Cranfill: It’s musically intelligent. It’s not

just simple hooks with sing-along melodies — there’s a time and place for it, and some of it is. And we don’t begrudge that. We love to let loose like everyone else does. Scott Butcher: I don’t think we have just one genre. We’re about 50/50 [covers vs. originals], because we feel there’s validity in both worlds. Part of our responsibility beyond playing for our own enjoyment is to connect with the audience and entertain them. We’re entertainers. Anything you won’t do? Mel: These guys just will not cover Europe.

I’ve been dying to cover “Rock The Night.” But the keys aren’t the only spice, obviously. Mike: We often refer to the meat and gravy

of the band as bass, guitar, drums, keys, and Cranfill is the gravy, the special sauce.

What do you want audience members leaving a Violet Mary show with? Mike: A CD.

ROOTS | David Olney and Sergio Webb

Artists like Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, and Del McCoury (to name a few) have all covered songs from Nashvillian David Olney’s prolific catalogue. Now you can hear it from the horse’s mouth and the horse’s guitar, along with the horse’s multiinstrumentalist Sergio Webb. Somebody somewhere once compared the two to a mix of Townes Van Zandt and Hoagy Carmichael, and that’s all I needed to hear. Olney’s shift between spoken-word wit and percussive guitar is pretty cool, too.

OPERA | Opera at the Arena

An opera performed in the arena that hosts the circus, the Amerks, and monster trucks? It may sound strange, but it’s a simple rationale, really. Rock star-level opera singer Luciano Pavarotti performed at the Blue Cross Arena in 2001, so it makes perfect sense that the Empire State Lyric Opera and Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra can perform there as well. “I Pagliacci” by Italian composer Ruggero Leoncavallo tells a story of love, jealousy, and tragedy that revolves around a commedia dell’arte troupe — a traveling troupe of improv performers circa 16th century Italy. Festivities will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a champagne and hors d’ouvres reception, complete with a strolling performer from PUSH Physical Theatre (tickets are an additional $20). At 8 p.m., the opera will begin, with all of its diva gowns and tuxedo splendor. Opera at the Arena takes place Friday, May 13, 8 p.m. at Blue Cross Arena, 1 War Memorial Drive. $30. 800-745-3500, empirestatelyrictheatre.org. — BY PALOMA A. CAPANNA Johnny Matt Band w/Jon Seiger.

ALT-COUNTRY | Steam Donkeys

Buffalo’s Steam Donkeys’ albums have chronicled Western New York’s honky-tonk-inspired heartaches over the group’s 20-year existence. But this band is best experienced live. The group released many now out-of-print recordings in the 90’s, but kept most of their fan favorites tucked away to themselves. And who would want to mess with a good thing? Songs like “She Kept the Ring (And Gave Me the Middle Finger)” flow freely from the Steam Donkeys during their typically rousing sets. The boys are good, old-fashioned Americana-rama, and one of Buffalo’s best-kept secrets. Catch them while you can.

AMERICANA/FOLK | Billy Wallace

Cincinnati singer Billy Wallace may be based in the North, but his tunes scream down-home Southern country blues. Wallace adds in just a twinge of jazz for fun and plays more instruments than you can imagine (banjo, harmonica, violin, flugelhorn, the list goes on and on). It’s rough and raw and just plain wonderful. The former Wading Girls front man blends his medley of musical mojo with a genuine knack for folksong storytelling. It’s the kind of music you could listen to for days and still find spectacular little nuances the hundredth time through. Driftwood and Wisdom Kids also perform. Billy Wallace plays Wednesday, May 18, 9 p.m. at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $7-$9. bugjar.com. — BY KATHY LALUK [ Hip-Hop/Rap ] Sophistafunk.

Heil yes Mel Brooks’ “The Producers” Through May 22 Jewish Community Center, 1200 Edgewood Ave. $16-$24 | 461-2000 x235, jcccenterstage.com [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK

It takes enormous matzo balls to stage a show at the Jewish Community Center that features frolicking Nazi storm troopers literally singing the praises of the Third Reich. Granted, it’s satire, tongue planted firmly in tuchus, and conceived by Mel Brooks, one of the most chosen of the chosen people. But I still held my breath for a good chunk of the jaw-dropping “Springtime for Hitler” sequence, waiting to see if anyone from the packed audience on opening night would walk out, boo, or spit at the flamboyant Fuhrer prancing about the stage belting, “Heil myself!” Thankfully, everyone was too busy laughing — as they should have been. JCC CenterStage’s production of Brooks’ “The Producers” is outrageously entertaining, a smart production featuring a solid cast that throws itself fully into the show. 20 City may 11-17, 2011

“The Producers” debuted as a 1968 film with Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder that told the story of loser theater producer Max Bialystock and his sniveling young accountant, Leo Bloom, who inadvertently discovers that a producer can make more money off of a flop than a successful show. So the pair sets out to find the worst play ever written, hire the worst director in the world, and offend all of New York before leaving for Rio with their ill-gotten old-lady money. Brooks re-envisioned the story as a Broadway musical in 2001, and it became a commercial and critical smash, winning 12 Tony Awards and packing houses for years. The stars from that show — Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick — reunited in 2005 for a film version of the musical, which was something of a flop. I’m sure there’s a joke in there somewhere. The current production at the JCC is directed by Danny Hoskins, who does a good job translating a big Broadway show to a midsized local stage. He’s aided by strong work by choreographer Meggins Kelley, vocal director Sarah Mattison (not a bad voice in the show), a great orchestra led by Terrence E. Bacon, and some absolutely tremendous costumes courtesy of Gail Argetsinger (the quartet of Bavarian beauties decked out in giant pretzels,

sausages, and beer steins are show stoppers alone). Of course, it helps that the show itself is a riot, with some catchy songs, outrageous characters, and that mind-blowing showwithin-a-show in Act II. Local stage veteran Steven Marsocci

plays the lead role of Max Bialystock. Marsocci possesses a strong voice, a commanding stage presence, and some understated comic chops. He is good, but arguably too good: Marsocci occasionally comes off as too likable, and Max is, to be blunt, kind of a scumbag. Marsocci often nails the charming but shameless shyster — Brooks specializes in those kinds of characters — but at other times seems like a nice guy stuck in a bad situation. It’s a delicate balance that’s not consistently executed, but there’s no denying his many talents, especially during his tour de force, “Betrayed.” Sharing the spotlight is Zachary Brown as Leo Bloom. Bloom’s tics at first overwhelmed Brown’s portrayal, leaving him more of a caricature than a character. But by the time the “I Wanna Be a Producer” number came around he seemed more comfortable in the role, and he went on to deliver a funny, believable, and beautifully sung performance.

The tragedy for the leads in a show like “The Producers” is that the cast of colorful supporting characters can sometimes overshadow them, and that happens to an extent in this production. Kristin Hopwood takes over the stage as soon as Ulla enters late in Act I, and when she’s on it she’s pretty much impossible to ignore. Hopwood is hilarious, a great singer and dancer, and utterly ravishing. Ulla dance again? Ulla can dance any time she wants, as far I’m concerned. Ed Popil plays relentlessly gay director Roger De Bris, and later, in the musical within the musical, Adolf Elizabeth Hitler. His performances are big, bold, and polished, and Popil is completely committed to the giddy lunacy going on around him. He is well complemented by Christopher Tyler as Roger’s partner-major domo-sidekick, and the two of them make a great comedic pair. I was disappointed whenever they left the stage. But arguably stealing the whole show is Jeffrey Andrews as Franz Liebkind, the former Nazi turned aspiring playwright behind “Springtime for Hitler.” Andrews has a background in comedy, and is a member of both Unleashed! and Broken Couch improv troupes. Here he uses those comedic skills to take an already ridiculous character and make him even more outrageous, nailing every opportunity for a laugh, from his accent to his singing and dancing to his impressive physical comedy. Andrews does not waste a single second on that stage. Many members of the ensemble also get a chance to shine in smaller roles. Big laughs were generated by Meghan Rose Tonery as both Hold Me, Touch Me and the pitiable would-be chorus girl, Michael Ciaccia as one of the little old ladies, Douglas Dohr as the Nazi soloist, Brian J. Maxwell as the actor with the speech impediment, Michelle Brown as a sassy chorus girl, and Steve Levins as the gruff CPA. Hoskins and his cast and crew clearly put a great deal of effort into the show’s nearly two dozen musical numbers, and all of them are executed beautifully, from the swish-filled “Keep it Gay” to the choreographed walker-wielding grannies in “Along Came Bialy.” The show does have some pacing issues in the non-musical parts, especially early in Act I. And while most of the comedy is hits big, one recurring gag with the characters repeatedly interacting with something on the floor of the stage did not translate at all.

ART/KIDS | The Glass Enchantment & “Alice in Wonderland”

Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking-Glass” continue to resonate with audiences in many age groups. Peek into the wilderness of imagination and gaze deeply at captivating creativity this month, as Nazareth College will host a series of creative events for adults and children with The Glass Enchantment, a world-class glass show, sale, silent auction, and lecture to benefit Rochester Children’s Theatre. Events run Friday, May 13, through Sunday, May 29, at Nazareth College Arts Center Gallery (4245 East Ave.). The exhibition and fundraiser features the work of 25 internationally renowned glass artists, including Steven Dee Edwards, Shane Fero, Sidney Hutter, Jon Kuhn, Jiyong Lee, Robert Levin, Richard Marquis, Charles Miner, Benjamin Moore, Stephen Powell, Richard Royal, David Schwarz, Josh Simpson, Gianni Toso, Kate Vogel, and John Littleton, and Rochester’s own Michael Taylor. It’s a family affair: Taylor, whose work was featured at Memorial Art Gallery in the 2009 solo exhibition, “A Unity of Opposites,” is married to RCT Founder and Producing Artistic Director, Deborah Haber. Glass buffs can preview and purchase art by buying a VIP Ticket for $125, which gets you into the opening reception on Friday, May 13, at 5 p.m. It also includes a private reception and studio tour at the home of Taylor and Haber on May 19. Patron ticketholders ($50) get access at 6 p.m., and those purchasing $10 guest tickets can enter at 7 p.m. Guest tickets will be available at the door, but others need to be purchased in advance by calling the RCT office at 385-0510 or by emailing rct1@frontiernet.net. More information is available at rochesterchildrenstheatre.org. Online bidding for work not purchased at the opening will begin May 14 at the RCT website, and concludes at 5 p.m. on May 29. Admission to the exhibition after opening night is free; gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Sunday noon-5 p.m., and Tuesday, May 17 & 24, 7-9 p.m. On Saturday, May 14, at 10 a.m., founder of the Glass Art Society and co-founder of the contemporary art-glass movement, Fritz Dreisbach, will give a lecture entitled, “Where Were You in ’62? An Illustrated Survey of the First Decade of Contemporary Blown Glass in the U.S.” The event takes place in the Nazareth College Arts Center lower level, room A14. Reserve your spot at the breakfast and lecture for $30 by calling 385-0510 or by emailing rct1@frontiernet.net. Lecture-only tickets are $10 (free with student ID), and will be available at the door. The exhibit and events are presented in conjunction with RCT’s “Alice in Wonderland,” which opened in April and will be presented again for a final performance on Friday, May 13, at 7 p.m. at Nazareth College Arts Center. A Mad Hatter’s Pizza and Tea Party will take place before the play, 5:30-6:30 p.m. Tickets to the play are $14-$17, or $22-$26 for the pizza party and play combo, and available in person at the Arts Center Box Office, by calling 389-2170, or online at naz.edu. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY 22 City may 11-17, 2011

RIT Industrial Design Senior Show Through May 20 Village Gate, 320 N. Goodman St., Unit 209. industrialdesign.cias.rit.edu By appointment only [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

I’ve long thought that the “I” in RIT could easily stand for imaginative, and this May the art students of Rochester Institute of Technology are proving my point. Works of beauty and of functionality are found all over the city this month in group shows and thesis exhibitions, and this past weekend the school held Imagine RIT, the annual innovation and creativity festival. Two very different student shows in particular caught my eye: the Senior Ceramic Exhibition presented by RIT’s School for American Crafts, and RIT’s Industrial Design Senior Show. The ceramic show opened at the Mill Center & Art Gallery last month, and visiting 24 City may 11-17, 2011

the reception afforded me my first look at the impressive center itself, which boasts the Rabbit Room restaurant (think an out-of-the-city Good Luck), art gallery, mini museum of Asian art objects, yoga studio, and workshop space. Being that my art date is a baker, she immediately fell in lust with Mandi Viles’ “Indulgence,” a hoard of gorgeous ceramic pedestals that showcased the cupcakes made for the reception, making the confections even more appealing to our eyes. Per the provided statement, the artist describes her work as sharing “a desire for nice things, focusing on giving the individual confections a special, cradling, and whimsical setting.” The pieces range from candlestick-esque pedestals for solo cupcakes to stacked and tiered displays for multiple treats, come in stormy, slightly metallic pastels of dark rose and deep purple, and are stamped with pristine Art Nouveau or Art Deco detailing. We could totally see them getting scooped by a posh bakery. As a minimalist contrast, Ariel R. Pilinger’s “Out of Context” is a collection of solid, practical earthenware more suited to my kind of kitchen: cream and cornflower blue, thick and sturdy utilitarian plates, bowls, cups, teapots, and vessels, with attention to quiet, lovely detail, such as the occasional line of drippy gold accent, half-hidden under a lip of clay here and there. “In my work I find purpose by creating objects of use,” says the artist’s info card. John Shea’s five monolithic, waist-high works make up “A Maker’s Path,” and with spare markings and varied gray tones, resemble carved stone. Seated on circular, chipped-edge slate

bases, the round foot of each work soars upward to narrower spire peaks with cutouts along the way, like laughing stones, creating a sort of anthropomorphic presence. Predictably, RIT’s Industrial Design Senior

Show is something entirely different. “This is the first senior show that RIT Industrial Design has put on,” says student Steve Caruso, who also designed the lighting for the exhibition. “ID has never had much representation in galleries, so we envision the senior show as a way of bringing industrial design closer to the rest of the arts community,” he says, adding that the show is put on completely by students. The first room of the exhibit contains stylish, bare-bones chairs made by RIT students who partook of the study-abroad program in Denmark, as well as examples of work from Metaproject 01, a student-design competition between RIT and laminate manufacturer Wilsonart International introducing various concepts for seating. Red, black, and white furniture are coupled with design posters that explain the context, problem, and solution for each project, and offer a photo of the chair with a sitter engaged with the seat. David Allen’s “Play Bench,” envisioned to be placed in a school, community center, or hospital, combines a steel-tongue drum and mallet, stretched red laminate drumheads, and chambers that hold more instruments, and serves the purpose of considering a child’s valuable playtime during rigorously scheduled days. Other works include Taylor Farone’s “Tattoo Chair,” Andy Clark’s water-cooler bench, Francesca

Pezze’s “Nodule” seating device for personal grooming (which the plaque reveals to be ideal for pedicures), and Dan Kestler’s “Conjoined Chair,” perfect for couples who’re still more interested in gazing into each other’s eyes than at a television screen. The second, cavernous room contains the Industrial Design Senior Show, which showcases works that reflect the belief that “industrial design is a human-centered discipline which requires an understanding of the complex relationships between culture and commerce,” per the provided statement. Many works incorporate the branding element of the octothorpe (#), commonly referred to as the pound symbol. These include “Octothorpe” by Megan Searle, a modular storage solution that “consists of interchangeable interlocking shelves which can be easily mounted or left as a freestanding structure.” Easily adjustable planks allow endless possibilities of connected rectangles with desired heights and lengths. “Contemplation of Fragility” by Brendan Lokes is not a functional work, but a pile of cement octothorpes in the midst of deterioration — accidental fractures that occurred when removing the castings from the mold taught the artist to learn from mistakes and use them to his advantage. “Like freshly poured cement, so is the fabric of our lives,” he philosophizes in his statement. Other projects have little or nothing to do with the theme. “Now and Then” by Yuting Hwang combines a tree stump with a clear tabletop, with gentle blue lights glowing along a circular wood grain throughout, creating a surreal and dreamy night-light table. “Process Shoes” by Andy Clark is little more than a shoeprint-shaped clump of black rubber fragments and a design book that explains the artist’s vision of recycling rubber and using it to “tune-up” worn out shoe soles, thus prolonging the life of junk rubber and your favorite kicks. I’m a firm believer that women should take self-defense matters into their own hands: walk with your head up, make eye contact, and project a pleasant but don’t-mess-with-me attitude. We’re encouraged to carry mace, but one argument against it is that it’s cumbersome to fumble in your purse for it when you need it. The solution offered by Mary Kolber and Courtney Theese is to make the purse into the weapon. See “Pound It,” a product line of four very stylish handbags that combine structured evening- or daytime-appropriate clutches with menacing metal additions. Handles double as weapons with the addition of chains or a sharpened gear, and the bags themselves look like they’d pack quite a wallop if swung at someone’s face. A little glint of sharp metal in the streetlight would give any would-be attacker reason to reconsider.

Lectures KIDS | Dinosaur Train Day & Thomas the Tank Engine

Without the reins of adult-world logic and order, events and programming geared toward children can be pretty out there. For example, I just learned that there is a PBS Kids TV show called “Dinosaur Train,” about, um, dinosaurs riding trains. Wacky it may be, but I kind of get it. I like dinosaurs. I like trains. What’s not to love in this creative mash-up? Also, it’s produced by The Jim Henson Company, which makes perfect sense. On Sunday, May 15, bring the kiddies to The New York Museum of Transportation (6393 E River Road, Rush) for the WXXI-hosted Dinosaur Train Day, which will feature a trolley ride with activities based on the popular show. Kids can enjoy dinosaur crafts, have their picture taken in front of a “Dinosaur Train” standee, watch an all-new episode of the show, and collect Dinosaur Train giveaways. Trolley rides depart every half hour, 11:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., and the event is free with admission to the museum: $8 for adults, $7 for seniors, and $5 for children ages 3-15. For more information, call 533-1113 or visit nymtmuseum.org. If you prefer the classic “Thomas the Tank Engine,” which features anthropomorphic trains but not giant lizards, then head to the Medina Railroad Museum (530 West Ave., Medina) for A Day Out with Thomas, offered Friday-Sunday, May 13-15. Activities include a 25-minute ride with a fullsized Thomas the Tank Engine, meeting Sir Topham Hatt, storytelling, live music, and building with Mega Bloks. The train rides depart every 45 minutes from 9:15 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and cost $18. For more information or to purchase tickets (advance is recommended), call 866-468-7630 or visit railroadmuseum.net. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Armory, 900 E Main St.. 2189125, kidzroc.com. 1 p.m. Free.

Recreation DANCE | Bollywood Dance Mania

When I was in college, I studied with a professor who was married to a woman chosen for him by their respective parents. My classmates and I learned about arranged marriages from the perspective of a person who willingly entered into one and found happiness within it, and this new insight was helpful to us in understanding other traditions. But even in places where this tradition continues, not every individual is willing to partake of it, and younger generations are increasingly interested in choosing a partner for themselves. This shift in ideology from arranged marriages to courtshipbased marriages is tackled in “Jodi.com,” the third annual dance recital by Bollywood Dance Mania, which will take place Sunday, May 15, at 3 p.m. at the India Community Center (2171 Monroe Wayne County Line Road, Macedon). The musical-style dance drama follows one Indian man’s quest to find his perfect other with the help of an online networking site. Suitable to all ages, the show will feature storytelling through Bollywood’s signature blending of traditional and classical Indian dances, with elements of jazz, hip-hop, and modern dance. Tickets are $15-$25 for adults and $10 for kids, and can be purchased India Market (3259 S. Winton Road), Namaste (3131 W. Henrietta Road), or directly from the office of Bollywood Dance Mania (34 Woodgreen Drive in Pittsford).

SPECIAL EVENTS | Modern Midnight Series at the Dryden

If you think the offerings at the Dryden Theatre are too dry for you, think again. Film Programmer Lori Donnelly has scheduled a “Modern Midnights” film series for Saturdays in May and June, which includes many recent classic films in a variety of genres. Despite the title, all screenings take place at 8 p.m., and admission is $8 or $6 for students and members. Grease was the word last weekend with the program’s kick-off, a “Grease” sing-a-long. The series continues this Saturday, May 14, with “Wet Hot American Summer” (pictured). Many famous faces of comedy co-star in David Wain’s comedic tale of the last day of summer camp in 1981 at Camp Firewood, which is filled with love triangles, misfits, cool kids, and a looming talent show at the end of the day. Councilor Beth, played by Janeane Garofalo, struggles to maintain order while she falls hard for the local astrophysics professor who is trying save the camp from a chunk of NASA’s Skylab that is falling even harder toward the earth. Following after are “Cruel Intentions” on May 21, and altcountry/Southern rock music fans will delight in “The Secret to a Happy Ending: A Documentary About the Drive-By Truckers” on May 28. Bring a date and a box of tissues to “Titanic” on June 11, and be ready to tread lightly after you see “Tremors” on June 18. Wrapping it all up is the competitive-cheerleading delight “Bring It On,” showing June 25.

History, religion, and the battle for Spain [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“There Be Dragons” (PG-13), directed by Roland Joffé Now playing

The decidedly uneven career of Roland Joffé exhibits a persistent attention to some dark and violent chapters in history. Originally a director of documentaries, in 1984 he made his feature film debut with “The Killing Fields,” a dramatization of the genocide in Cambodia after American troops withdrew from Southeast Asia; the movie earned several Academy Award nominations and won Oscars in the categories of supporting actor, editing, and

cinematography. In 1986 he examined a bloody moment in the European conquest of South America in “The Mission,” a story of slavery and the tensions between the Jesuits and the Catholic hierarchy of the 18th century. His roots in the documentary no doubt also influenced his direction of “City of Joy,” which confronted the work of a physician amid the poverty, corruption, and crime of Calcutta. Even “Fat Man and Little Boy,” about the work and the people behind the research and development of the atom bomb at Los Alamos, depends upon a solid basis in history. The critical failures of “Goodbye Lover” and his adaptation of “The Scarlet Letter,” in contrast, suggest once again a director more comfortable within the context of fact than fiction. Now in “There Be Dragons,” Joffé returns to some familiar territory, the troubled landscape of history and faith. The picture combines an investigation of some events of the Spanish Civil War with the life of Josemaria Escrivá, the priest who founded Opus Dei,

the controversial Catholic organization that occupies a major place in “The Da Vinci Code.” That combination, alas, makes for a confusing and sometimes even silly mess of a movie. The story revolves around the work of a journalist, Robert (Dougray Scott), writing a book about Escrivá. Robert discovers that his estranged father, Manolo (Wes Bentley), was a childhood friend, a fellow seminarian, and later an enemy of the priest. His investigation leads him to a deeper knowledge of the tragic conflict that indelibly marks modern Spanish history, a deeper understanding of the role his father played in that war, and ultimately, some modicum of forgiveness for the man himself. The film then moves back and forth in time, telling its story through an endless series of flashbacks, showing the early friendship of the two men and the event that precipitates their falling out, an incident too ridiculous to repeat. As time passes, they take separate paths in life, Manolo following his father in the pursuit of wealth and the good priest treading the narrow route of his vocation. When the civil war breaks out, Manolo works as a Nationalist (i.e., Fascist) spy within the Loyalist (Republican) cause, while Josemaria suffers from the anticlerical oppression of the Republicans. The movie drastically oversimplifies the war and its causes, neglecting all the complications on both sides, turning the conflict into some basic

division between Fascists and Communists. It superficially touches on the interventions of Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin, makes only an ambiguous gesture toward the volunteers of the International Brigades, and barely mentions the war’s astonishing atrocities. As one Spanish commentator suggested back in the 1930’s, in Spain even the atheists are Catholic, a circumstance that should allow for a good deal of interpretation and subtlety. The rich subject therefore really should provide a terrific source of material for Joffé, a director clearly drawn to large themes from the past and apparently committed to a most unusual Catholic approach to his art. The director’s apparent piety leads him to show Josemaria Escrivá as a preacher of forgiveness and reconciliation, canonized by Pope John Paul II for his sanctity. That view of course contradicts some of the facts of history, including the conservative ecclesiastical rigidity of Opus Dei and Escrivá’s support of Generalissimo Francisco Franco, leader of the Phalangist rebellion against the democratically elected Republican government, eventual dictator of Spain for decades, and happy collaborator with Nazi Germany. The Spanish Civil War deserves a full cinematic treatment, yet the only feature film of any substance remains “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” made only four years after the end of that war and during the global conflict it prefigured. Despite its apparent sincerity, “There Will Be Dragons” won’t make anyone forget Hemingway’s novel or the film it inspired.

Well, the good news is that “The Avengers,” written and directed by Joss Whedon, is scheduled to hit screens less than one year from now, on May 4, 2012. The bad news? More origin-story appetizers until we can sit down to the star-studded main course. Because for every comic-book triumph like 2008’s mighty “Iron Man,” which skillfully blended screwball-comedy dialogue with nifty gadgetry and supersonic action, there’s a noisy misfire like “The Incredible Hulk,” only slightly less depressing than 2003’s mopey “Hulk.” The moral here is that built-in storyboarding mixed with a skyhigh budget isn’t always a foolproof recipe for success, but, as the saying goes, in for a penny, in for a pound. Translation: if you hope to properly dig “The Avengers,” you’re probably going to have to watch Kenneth Branagh’s competent yet boring “Thor.” Yes, that Kenneth Branagh; the Oscar-nominated actor-director brings his art-house clout to the Marvel

Universe with “Thor,” a freehand adaptation of the comics that first reimagined the Norse god of thunder as a superhero back in 1962. We’re given a bit of background to the film’s eventual plot via voiceover from Thor’s father, Odin (Anthony Hopkins, in full bluster), who explains to young Thor and his little brother Loki about the fragile truce that exists between Odin’s kingdom of Asgard and the scary frost giants of Jotunheim. A jump to the present day introduces us to adult Thor (the magnetic Chris Hemsworth, “Star Trek”) and Loki (British actor Tom Hiddleston) as Odin prepares to name his successor, a ceremony cut short by the intrusion of the frost giants and then completely derailed by the hotheaded Thor, whose warmongering reaction causes the furious Odin to banish Thor to Earth in hopes that he’ll become worthy of power. Enter the completely overexposed Natalie Portman (her fourth film released since last fall’s “Black Swan”) as Jane Foster, an astrophysicist (promoted from nurse in the comics) who literally runs into Thor after his plummet to the New Mexico desert. Thor’s mythic hammer Mjolnir got banished along with him, and its Excalibur-like presence in the sand attracts the attention of the folks at S.H.I.E.L.D. (as well as 88-year-old Marvel mastermind Stan Lee, in his obligatory cameo). The idea is that Thor can only reclaim Mjolnir once he learns the life lessons Odin wishes to impart, making “Thor” a combination of fish-out-of-water comedy, coming-ofage tale, Shakespearean family drama, and effects-heavy action blockbuster. Oh, and there’s a splash of chick-flick romance, too, as Jane and Thor take turns rescuing each other from their respective jams. Truthfully, though, who wouldn’t fall for Thor? Hemsworth is quite the find;

it’d be easy to dismiss him as a built, blond superfox, one whose shirtlessness elicited an audible “Wow” of approval from at least one viewer. (Sorry, audience, but in my defense, wow.) And even though Thor’s emotional evolution is a little too tidy, Hemsworth oozes sparkly charisma, the light to Hiddleston’s equally compelling dark. His Loki is the film’s most complex character, a tragic figure whom we haven’t seen the last of. Both Earth and Asgard are populated by gifted actors that unfortunately aren’t given much to do, including Stellan Skarsgård and Kat Dennings as Jane’s scientific colleagues, along with Tadanobu Asano (2007’s “Mongol”) and the elegant Idris Elba (“The Wire”) as Thor’s cronies. The classically trained Branagh is obviously in his element handling the father-son conflict, and, like, Jon Favreau before him, he seems to be a quick study in the big-budget action department. (Smart career move, incidentally.) Plus “Thor” looks great, though it probably would have looked even better if I weren’t trapped behind Roy Orbison’s glasses, another example of a film sullied by post-production (read: money-grubbing) 3D. So while everything’s handled capably, from the acting to the CGI to the clichéd script-by-committee (three writers), “Thor” somehow still rings hollow. It’s like putting a puzzle together with all the correct pieces; you know what the outcome will be, and while it initially seems satisfying, it’s ultimately insignificant. Of course, comic-book aficionados will probably disagree with me, and that’s totally cool; “Thor” is for them. They will be thrilled by the sly introduction of Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye, and they will want to stay parked through the credits for the now-expected appearance of Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury. Fanboy or not, however, one thing is true: summermovie season is underway.

Handsome on Harvard

809 Harvard Street

The handsome house at 809 Harvard Street, located in the desirable Park Avenue area, is a delight to behold, inside and out. Built in 1913 in the Colonial Revival style, the house has many attractive architectural details that contribute to a pleasant living environment. A brick walk leads to an elegant front porch featuring a round-arched roof supported by airy geometric posts, behind which are built-in side benches. Spanning the front is an unusual, decorative shed roof, which covers both the porch and a rectangular bay window. The glazed front door opens into a lofty front hall; to the left is the spacious living room, which has a wood-burning fireplace, a front boxed bay with windows on three sides providing ample light, and access to the side sun room, which contains tall windows on all three sides. Behind the living room is the dining room, which also includes a lovely, wide bay window. Beautifully finished oak flooring and attractive cove moldings add to the interior’s early twentieth century charm.

well as the fine stained-glass window with an unusual landscape scene above the corner landing. More refinished oak flooring and dark-stained doors lead into three large bedrooms, each with its own uniquely painted walls: multi-pastel, two-toned blues, and a deep hue in the master bedroom. A finished former sleeping porch is off the two back bedrooms and provides uninterrupted views of Cobbs Hill. The full bath features the original tile floor, a footed bathtub with shower accoutrements, and a large sink and vanity. The finished third floor has two rooms that can be used as guest bedrooms, offices, or play areas. The basement contains newer high efficiency furnace, water heater, electrical breakers, and front-loading washer and dryer, all installed between 2005 and 2009. A blacked-top drive leads to a detached two-car garage.

Connecting the dining room to the kitchen is the wonderful original pantry that features counter-to-ceiling pantry cupboards with glazed doors, and wooden drawers below the laminate counter. The attractive kitchen features tile counters and an eat-in area next to a large window. An exterior door leads to the backyard that includes a brick patio, floral borders, and mature trees along the rear wall.

Harvard is an attractive residential street in the desirable Park Avenue Neighborhood. Amenities include friendly sidewalk-lined streets, Cobbs Hill Park, easy access to I-490, as well as the popular shops, restaurants and services on nearby Park and Monroe Avenues. This 1,963 squarefoot fine property is being offered at $179,900. Agent is Jeff Schuetz of Mitchell Pierson Jr, Inc. Realtors, 585-233-8588. For more information and photos, go to http:// rochestercityliving.com/property/R152189.

The staircase is notable for its dark-stained railing and squared, fluted newel post, as

— “Man’s best friend” sometimes isn’t, as when a playful dog hops onto a gun on the ground, causing it to fire a round. John Daniels, 28, took a bullet in the knee from his dog, for example, in Raleigh, N.C., in January. Dogs betray in other ways, too. Motorist Joel Dobrin, 32, was pulled over in a traffic stop in February in Moro, Ore., and rushed to hide his alleged drug stash, which was in a sock. However, his dog intercepted the sock for an impromptu game of dog-tug-of-war in the car. Dobrin won but lost his grip, and the sock flew out the driver’s window, right in front of the officer. Dobrin was cited, and later indicted, for drug possession. — At least three jihadist groups in recent years have published full-color Arabic magazines lauding the Islamist struggle, with articles and essays to recruit fighters and offer personal advice for women on the importance of raising proper families and catering to mujahedeens’ needs. The latest, Al-Shamikha (“The Majestic Woman”), which surfaced in March, featured interviews with martyrs’ wives and advised women to stay indoors, both for modesty and a “clear complexion” (advice that earned the magazine its nickname “Jihad Cosmo”). — Prevailing medical authority 20 years ago warned that few humans could survive blood-alcohol readings above .40 (percent), but in recent years, drivers have rather easily survived higher numbers (curiously, many from Wisconsin, such as the man in February in Madison, Wis., with a .559). (In 2007, an Oregon driver was found unconscious, but survived, with a .72 reading.) The plethora of high numbers might indicate mistaken medical teaching, or nonstandard machine measurements -- or an evolutionary hardiness in American drinkers. — Snowmobilers fall through thin ice every season because the ice’s thickness

is difficult to estimate, especially at night. Less understandable is that every season, when other snowmobilers come to rescue the downed snowmobiler, they drive their vehicles as close as they can to the spot of the fall -- which, of course, is right at the lip of thin-ice-break, thus virtually assuring that their vehicle, too, will fall in, such as the four people who fell through the ice in a pond near Holyrood, Newfoundland, in February. — Young girls “grow up” prematurely, often aided by hungry retailers such as the U.S.’s Abercrombie & Fitch and the British clothiers Primark and Matalan, each of which this spring began offering lines of padded bras for girls as young as 7 (8 at Abercrombie & Fitch for the “Ashley Push-Up Triangle”), with Matalan offering one in size “28aa.” Child advocates were predictably disgusted, with one Los Angeles psychologist opining that permissive mothers were trying to compensate through their daughters for their own lack of sexual appeal. — In 2002 News of the Weird mentioned a theme park near Mexico City in which potential emigrants to the U.S. could test their survival skills in an obstacle course mimicking the rigors one would endure sneaking across the border. Recently, Owlchemy Labs, a Massachusetts technology company, announced plans to release an iPhone/iPad app, “Smuggle Truck,” a video game in which players compete to drive a pickup truck full of illegals over rocky terrain from Mexico into the U.S. without too many passengers bouncing out (and with in-game “additions” consisting of pregnant women giving birth enroute). Special “green cards” are awarded to winners. (Update: Apple rejected the app, and Owlchemy said it would alter the game to one of animals escaping from a forest.)

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 35 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Meeting someone while working or taking care of personal business can be expected. Keep your eyes peeled for someone who shows an interest in what you are doing. Emotions and chemistry will progress faster than you anticipate. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll be attracted to someone spectacular but, before you decide to jump in, find out whether or not the object of your desire is already involved with someone else. You will end up in a love triangle if you aren’t careful.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It will be easy for you to attract attention but be careful not to lead someone on who may end up wanting more than you are willing to offer. Flirting is harmless but crushing someone’s heart isn’t. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll have plenty of opportunity to meet someone if you get involved in group activities that are geared toward humanitarian goals. Your dedication and loyalty will attract someone who is just as eager to please as you are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Falling for someone because of what they

have, not who they are, will turn out poorly. Love is in the stars but you have to choose wisely. Someone you share common interests with will bring you joy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Deception is apparent so, before you give your heart to someone, observe your suitor a little longer. Chances are good the information you are being fed is exaggerated. Whatever you do offer to pay your half but don’t pick up the tab. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll be drawn to someone who has plenty to offer but who also wants to control you. It may be sort of

nice at first to have someone do so much for you, but eventually it will become demeaning. Strive for equality right from the beginning and build a solid relationship. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The person who enjoys the same things you do will know how to keep you happy. Don’t be afraid to show your true colors right from the beginning and there will be no misconception regarding your desires. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It will be difficult for you to settle down with one person. Your changing attitude will keep

you looking for something new and exciting. Too much of the same thing will be boring. Seek adventure and you will meet someone free-spirited like you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Someone interested in what you’ve got to offer is likely to fool with you. Protect your money and your possessions until you are certain that you aren’t being taken advantage of. Your generosity can easily lead to responsibilities that you really don’t want. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You want to be in a relationship and that can cause you to

pick the wrong person. Unless someone has as much to offer as you, it’s best to take a pass and keep looking. Reuniting with an old flame will lead to the same problems that ended your relationship in the past. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Honesty will be necessary if you expect to find true love. It’s quite likely that you are searching for something that doesn’t exist. Realistic expectations, coupled with building a solid friendship, can bring you long-lasting results. Be smart in your search for love and you will succeed.
