Sunday, July 24, was a very happy day in Rochester. Marriage equality became law, and 39 couples turned out at City Hall to take the first opportunity to get New York State marriage licenses. My wife and I are strong supporters of equality, especially in marriage, so we came out to join in the celebratory atmosphere and simply to have fun. We watched a couple of wedding ceremonies and congratulated the happy couples who married that day at City Hall or Downtown United Presbyterian. At around 3 o’clock, about a dozen protesters arrived who, with no hope of changing any outcomes, apparently wished nothing more than to pour ill will upon loving couples. They held signs bearing all kinds of hostile messages directed at the couples having one of the happiest days of their lives, and at any who supported them. But the highlight of the day was the quiet but firm support everyone who was there to celebrate love received from the City of Rochester’s Chief of Security Operations, Vincent McIntyre. Within minutes of the arrival of the protesters, Mr. McIntyre was out on the sidewalk with us. When he saw us escorting couples from City Hall to the church or parking lot, he gave us encouragement for this effort to prevent engagement between the couples and their would-be tormentors: engagements that could easily have escalated. He expressed his appreciation several times for what we could do to avert any confrontations between the samesex couples and the protesters. Mr. McIntyre remained outside the door of City Hall from the arrival of the protesters until the last couple was seen happily to the reception at the church. He spoke gently to many of the supportive people there on the
sidewalk, always encouraging them not to engage with protesters and working hard to keep everyone calm and the mood light. He was, himself, a calming presence, giving reassurance that the city’s interest was squarely on everyone having a happy day for such a happy occasion. Without him there all afternoon like that, I don’t know that it would have gone as well. DAVID FRIER, ROCHESTER
Biking right
As a city resident who has lived in the East Avenue-Park Avenue area for 25 years, I welcome the addition of bicycle lanes to our streets. I imagine that the wider, specific berth for bikers eases their anxiety as well as that of automobile drivers’. Unfortunately, the new lanes have not eradicated an insidious problem that seriously threatens the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, and car drivers: Every day, at least 50 percent of the people I see on bicycles are riding on the wrong side of the road, or are weaving from sidewalk to street and back again. There must be some way to let people know the very simple rule: Pedestrians walk against the flow of traffic (i.e., the left side of a typical city roadway), and bicyclists ride with traffic and follow the same laws (i.e., travel on the right side of the road, wait for traffic lights, etc.). Finally, most of the folks who ignore these guidelines are not wearing helmets. The statistic on that must be close to 100 percent. SANDY ROBINSON, ROCHESTER
Boycotting Walmart
According to SweatFree Communities, there are about 3.4 million garment workers in Bangladesh working in sweatshops. Every year about a hundred die in factory fires because the doors are locked or blocked. In 2010, representatives from the Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity and the Bangladesh Garment and Industrial Worker Federation were working with local factory employees to demand that the existing labor laws, mainly concerning safety and livable wages, would be obeyed. Several of these factories make clothing primarily for Walmart, such as the one in Dhaka, were people make a “malnutrition wage” of a little over $1 a day
and live in constant fear of fire because the doors are locked. A lawsuit was brought against two organizers, who were arrested, jailed, and tortured and face possibly the death penalty. Bjorn Claesen of SweatFree Communities contacted Walmart and asked Walmart to put pressure on the factory managers to stop the lawsuit against the organizers or lose their contract. Walmart has done nothing. Our family and friends have decided to boycott Walmart. We do not want blood on our clothes. LIEVE BAIN, BRIGHTON

On the Rochester school district’s consideration of distributing condoms in schools: I teach a
college course that spends some time looking at sexuality education. I always start by asking my students how their parents talked to them about sex. Class after class, semester after semester, what I learn from young adults just out of high school is that very few parents are talking to their kids about sex at all, and those that do are often failing to provide much information. Schools must. It’s a vital public health issue. I am convinced that medically accurate, age-appropriate comprehensive sex ed is absolutely necessary for the physical and emotional health of our young people and for the health of society. Young people have sex. No information we withhold from them will prevent them from responding to their bodies’ desires. The best we can do is give them all the information they need to make the smartest possible decisions they can about their own lives. If they are sexually active, and most are, using condoms correctly and consistently is one of those smart decisions. Anything we can do as a community to facilitate that is a smart decision on our part. PROF. ANON

Growing this state You can’t exaggerate the seriousness of the Paetec sale and its threat to downtown Rochester. And so Governor Cuomo’s focus on the state’s economy comes at a crucial time. But you don’t have to be as cynical as I am to be pessimistic about Cuomo’s plan for New York State. His first step: 10 highpowered, regional economic development councils, plus one for New York City. In November, they’ll submit plans to boost their economy, and they’ll compete for state funds to carry out those plans. I’m still reeling from the Paetec announcement, and I’m desperate to be proved wrong. I’ll be surprised, though, if the councils come up with the initiatives — and the reforms — that we need. For starters, look at who’s on the councils. For the Greater Rochester-Finger Lakes region: 12 corporate executives plus the CEO’s of Greater Rochester Enterprise, the Finger Lakes Economic Development Center, Excell Partners, and the Rochester Business Alliance; the president of the Livingston County Chamber of Commerce; the presidents of the University of Rochester, MCC, and RIT — and one labor rep and the head of the Ibero American Action League. In fact, in every one of the 11 councils, the overwhelming majority of the members are representatives of business — most often big business — and existing development groups. It would be ridiculous not to have business leaders on these councils, but business leaders will look out for their best interests. And while those interests may help their own companies, they aren’t always what will grow the economy. I’ll be writing more about this as the councils start working, but let me start with “Seizing the Moment,” a report from a statewide coalition called Align — the Alliance for a Greater New York — which spells out the problems with the way New Yorkers have approached economic development. “To date,” says the report, “New York’s main job creation strategy has largely consisted of the use of tax subsidy programs — and to a lesser degree, direct capital grants and loans — to incentivize private sector economic activity in localities across the state. To help offset the cost of opening new facilities, expand existing ones, or keep businesses from leaving New York, a sprawling and haphazard web of economic development entities regularly award tax credits, exemptions, abatements, and other kinds of favorable financing to private businesses in
Municipalities and regions end up competing with one another, ‘trying to outdo each other’s benefit packages to attract businesses.’” — “SEIZING THE MOMENT”
exchange for job creation, capital investment, and other economic benefits.” The state’s main economic development body is a public authority, the Empire State Development Corporation. Within ESDC, notes the report, “there are as many as 202 subsidiaries that operate as independent entities with a board, president, and staff, each associated with a large-scale development project.” In addition, about 20 other state agencies are involved in economic development and, at the local level: “over 500 local development corporations, 114 Industrial Development Agencies, 82 Empire Zones Boards, 114 Business Improvement Districts, 49 Urban Renewal and Community Development Agencies,” and 10 regional ESDC offices. “There is very little coordination among programs and no overall vision for regional and state economies to guide investment decisions,” says the report. And individual municipalities and regions end up competing with one another, “trying to outdo each other’s benefit packages to attract businesses.” “This harmful race to the bottom,” says the report, “results in jobs being shifted from town to town instead of new jobs being created in the state — at a substantial cost to taxpayers.” “The establishment of Regional Economic Development Councils is a pivotal opportunity to address the failures of our current economic development tools,” says the report. But will we take advantage of this opportunity? Will the business-heavy councils be willing to call for an end to multiple, competing local agencies within their region? Will they urge ending the tax subsidies for moving a business from one part of the region — one part of the state — to another? Or will they ignore those problems and just come up with flashy proposals for new programs and new state funds? More on all this in the future.

Economic councils begin meeting
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the first meetings of his newly formed regional economic development councils. According to a press release, the preliminary purposes of the councils are to identify key regional issues and opportunities, and to begin to discuss a regional economic vision, among other goals. The Finger Lakes Council, which includes Monroe County, is co-chaired by University of Rochester President Joel Seligman and Wegmans CEO Danny Wegman.

The US Postal Service announced that it was considering closing five post offices in the region, though Rochester’s State Street office is the only Monroe County facility targeted. The Postal Service has been losing revenue and the potential closures are one way it’s trying to bridge the gap. A Postal Service official told Bloomberg News Service that most of the offices targeted bring in less than $27,500 each year.

New Beginnings to expand
Going, going…
Paetec is being purchased for approximately $2.3 billion by Windstream Corp, a company that provides high-speed Internet and high-definition digital TV and phone services. It is unclear what the sale, which should be completed in about six months, will mean for the future of the Midtown project. Paetec has committed to building a new world headquarters at the Midtown site, and the site is being cleared right now to prepare for Paetec’s arrival. Mayor Tom Richards says the city will begin lobbying Windstream immediately to sell the company on Rochester. Richards says it will be several months before the city knows what’s going to happen.

New Beginnings, an all-boys alternative school, will more than double its enrollment in the coming school year. The school averaged about 16 students in its first year, and will boost its enrollment by 20. The other news is that the city school district is now funding the program, which was previously funded by a state grant. The move seems to put the school on firmer ground. The school helps troubled boys ages 16 to 18 complete requirements to graduate from high school or earn their GED. Many of the students have been incarcerated and New Beginnings helps them make the transition back into an educational environment. Enrollment is voluntary. “In a school district this complex, the more alternatives you have and the more flexibility and options you can provide, the greater the success,” says Elaine Spaull, executive director of the Center for Youth, which along with the city school district, runs the program.
Four of the students from the first year of New Beginnings went on to graduate. Twelve will return to New Beginnings, Spaull says, and others got jobs and intend to eventually get their high school equivalency diplomas. New Beginnings student Jeramy Rivera Laureano, 18, graduated with honors in June. He says he’s thinking about joining the Marines, and hopes to one day become a neurosurgeon. He says he credits New Beginnings’s no-nonsense approach for helping him get his act together. “It kept me focused,” he says. The school district provides certified teachers who offer instruction in core subjects, and the center provides counselors and other resources. New Beginnings is housed in the former Blessed Sacrament Catholic School building on the corner of Oxford Street and Monroe Avenue.

Drilling double-whammy
Primaries aplenty
Norse Energy, an oil and gas exploration and production company, has filed the first application to drill a horizontal well in New York’s section of Utica Shale. The company is targeting New York sections of the Marcellus Shale as well, and would use horizontal wells and hydraulic fracturing in both formations, says information on Norse Energy’s web site. The Utica Shale’s potential for natural-gas drilling has received less attention than the Marcellus Shale’s, says local environmentalist Frank Regan, but more of the state lies above the Utica formation. The Utica Shale formation stretches underneath 28,500 square miles of Western and Central New York as well as the Southern Tier. Rochester and Monroe County are entirely within the formation. The State Department of Environmental Conservation is completing an environmental review of horizontal drilling and high-volume fracking in deep shale formations: that includes the Marcellus and the Utica Shales. Unless Norse Energy submits a site-specific environmental statement, its application will remain on hold until the state review is completed, DEC spokesperson Emily DeSantis said in an e-mail.

INTERVIEW | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Buildings without expiration dates Call it a movement, a theory, or an application. Concerns about energy, the environment, and the economy have converged to create the basis for sustainability, a term that has earned an almost existential reverence. Sustainability can only be achieved, some experts say, when our actions and decisions about everything from food production to building design do not cause long-term ecological and/or social damage. The Rochester Institute of Technology is positioning itself as a center of research, innovation, and training in sustainability — first in manufacturing, and now in architecture. Beginning this fall, RIT will offer a three-year master’s program in architecture that emphasizes sustainability to as many as 20 first-year graduate students. Launching the area’s first architectural degree program is a logical gamble for RIT. Even though there are more than 100 institutions throughout the country offering master’s programs, some right here in New York, the field is at a crossroads, said Dennis Andrejko, professor of architecture at the University at Buffalo. Future architects will need to be equipped to meet sustainable building criteria, he said, some of which are beginning to be imposed by municipal governments. RIT has selected Andrejko to chair its new sustainable architecture program. Andrejko, a researcher, instructor, and practitioner has focused on energy-conscious design and sustainability for more than 30 years. He is vice president of the American Institute of Architecture, the industry’s national organization. He said he envisions using cities like Rochester and Buffalo as working laboratories for students. And he said he hopes RIT will offer classes in its architectural program downtown. In a recent interview, Andrejko said he would like to see sustainability become synonymous with good design, but the country’s not anywhere near there, yet. Sustainability in what is built or renovated needs to move from the conversational and experimental stages to broader acceptance and application, he said. When that happens, Andrejko and many of his peers believe the emerging green industry will finally have more than a foothold; it will be the next revolution. The following is an edited version of Andrejko’s interview. CITY: Sustainability is a word that gets a lot of use, but it seems to mean different things to different people. What do you think it means, and how would you define sustainable architecture?
Andrejko: There are a lot of agreed-upon City
august 3-9, 2011
definitions, but for me sustainability means “in perpetuity.” We can’t just live for the moment. We’ve got to be thinking about things going on and on. To me, sustainability really means thinking about tomorrow. I would like to see that word, sustainability, go away. I’d like to see that word diminish in terms of its prominence. By that I mean, what is good design? How is it expressed? How does it elevate the health and well-being of the user? How does the design help us become a better individual, a better community, and a better species? Sustainable architecture means looking at all of those things aesthetically, socially, and technologically to improve the built condition [building and construction], which ultimately improves the human condition. There’s an inextricable relationship between the built environment and the natural environment. We can’t look at things in isolation. Are we a part of the natural environment or are we apart from it? But how much influence do architects have on sustainability?
Do you know how much time you spend inside a building? It’s about 90 percent. If we’re spending that much time inside, shouldn’t we be paying a lot more attention to what this building and what the built environment is all about? Buildings are a major factor, more than transportation, and more than industry, on the effect we’re having on the environment. And designers and architects have had a say in that. So what should the architects of the future do?
We can have wonderful conversations about this stuff. But it’s becoming more and more critical that we have the action component. There’s a major initiative by an organization called Architecture 2030, and they have adopted what they call the 2030 challenge. If we’re really going to be proactive about the realization that the built environment has an impact on how we live, work, and play then we need to give ourselves a charge and a challenge, or we’re not going to achieve this sustainable future. The 2030 challenge is intended to identify the things we need to do to achieve zero energy, carbon neutrality in all of our new, and ultimately, existing building stock by 2030. We’ve got something like 300-billion square feet of building stock [nationally], and over the next 20 years, some of that is going to be demolished. We’re going to add new, and some of it is going to be remodeled. The challenge and opportunity for us [in getting
to carbon neutrality] by 2030 is that 70 percent of all electric usage is through buildings. Is there really a need for another architecture program, and why RIT?
I think the architectural profession is sort of at a nexus right now. And buildings are a major culprit and opportunity to turn this thing around. We are in a transformational era. Jurisdictions may someday come around to you and say, “Hey look, we’ve got this green code that you have to work with.” If you’ve been practicing for 20 years in the old way, and now you’re being told that in 20 years or less that you’ve got to rethink the way you’re designing, how do you do that? And to your question: Why do another master of architecture program? Aren’t we saturated? When RIT’s program was being talked about in 2007, I was asked Sustainability in what we build or renovate needs to move to provide a critique. I liked the from the conversational and experimental stages to broader fact that the Rochester professional acceptance and application, says Denis Andrejko, chair of community was 110 percent behind RIT’s new architecture program.

Houses, offices, hospitals, institutions, stores, shopping malls — you name it. It’s across the You’ve talked about what architects board. That’s where we spend our time living, can do for sustainability, but it seems working, and playing. We can’t just think like sustainability could do a lot to about it for one type of building. revive architecture.

At the same time, we can’t ignore the home Talk about reuse as it relates to the materials front. Let’s look at Buffalo’s downtown. Let’s and components of a building. look at Detroit. We have an equal responsibility I have a slang reference for what I call the to those settings in our own back yard. In this program, because of the link to the “fab five.” When you select materials, you have five choices: used materials, recycled professional community, we’re going to be materials, recyclable materials, indigenous using Rochester and some of these cities as materials, and bio-based materials. laboratories for learning.
When we think about those five: 55 percent of everything going into, let’s say, the shirt you’re wearing, has to be some combination. You could have gotten that shirt from your brother, so right there, it is a reused shirt. With buildings, we’re talking about two things: taking the existing building stock, either its core and shell or some large portion of it, and reusing it so that we’re not building again from scratch. But if we’re demolishing building stock, we have to reclaim and disassemble. Just like you would in a recycling effort, we have to sort out those products of the building that can be reused or repurposed for another building.
When people think of architecture, they often tend to think of cities. How does the idea of sustainable architecture include the suburbs?
I look at the issue of suburbs a lot of different ways. I look at this [RIT] campus as a suburb. This area is a satellite to downtown. The urban core is critical, but as the suburbs develop, they develop their own nucleus as well. But they are never in a standalone condition. There’s always a relationship between one setting and a next-door setting. We have to look at that infrastructure. Just as we look at stand-alone buildings in relationship to other communities, we also have to look at communities in relationship to other communities.
Sustainability sounds great in theory, but then there’s the guy who is doing work on his house and he says “I can’t afford $15,000 for a solar panel.” In pragmatic terms, how will this work? If 2030 is an industry deadline, how are we ever going to get there if these components are still so expensive?
One way I answer this, and it’s somewhat facetious, is “pay me now or pay me later.” It’s actually a wiser, more prudent, and economical investment if we plan the right infrastructure now to make it easier for tomorrow. It does require some investment. But there are a number of studies that show sustainable buildings, compared
with other buildings that have less value in design, cost the same to build, but less to operate and maintain over the long term. They’ve also been shown to enhance worker productivity, providing a more creative and healthier environment. And as we think about sustainability in the mainstream, going green will create new jobs, a new economic driver. It will enhance the overall economy, not hinder it.

Beer and wine bits
Mix and match your own oils and vinegars at F. Oliver’s, which recently opened its new store on Park Avenue.

Tasting time [ CHOW HOUND ] BY SUSIE HUME
Shortly after F. Oliver’s Oils and Vinegars opened in Canandaigua last year (129 S. Main St.), my husband and I drifted in one day while window shopping. Upon entering we were offered a tasting, and we expected bread or crackers to dip into the nearly 40 varieties of flavor-infused oils and vinegars. Instead we were walked to a fusti (a large stainless steel tank with a spout) where an employee began mixing various flavors of oil and vinegar into a small plastic cup for each of us and handed it over. “You want us to drink it?” I asked. My husband looked horrified. The clerk instructed us on the proper way to sample oils and vinegars — somewhat akin to tasting wines — with a process of sniffing followed by merely touching the mixture to our lips and licking it off to sample the combined flavors. He began with typical flavor combinations, like an oregano balsamic with a heady garlic olive oil, and slowly worked us up into seemingly odd pairings, like smoky chipotle olive oil with dark chocolate balsamic. About 15 minutes in, we got comfortable enough to begin making our own concoctions and left with our favorite: cilantro with roasted golden onion olive oil paired with a ripe fig balsamic.
“Our customers are our best inventors,” says F. Oliver’s owner Penelope Pankow. “You can’t believe people are still finding new combinations, but they are. They choose flavors that fit with their lifestyle.” After more than a year of success in Canandaigua, Pankow has opened a second F. Oliver’s location on Park Avenue in Rochester, in the space formerly housed by Roman Holiday Gelato. The new location offers customers the same opportunities to sample and create. As for what to use the oil and vinegar for, Pankow has a long list of suggestions, including traditional ideas like marinades and salad dressing to mixing balsamic with sparkling water for a refreshing drink or using oils as a drizzle on meats right before serving them. “What we really want is to have the highest-quality product so it can appeal to a chef, but we also appeal to people who are just learning to cook and want to put together a meal easily and healthily with great flavor,” says Pankow. The new location of F. Oliver’s Oils and Vinegars is located at 747 Park Ave. Bottles of oil and vinegar are sold for $14.95; tastings are free. It is open Monday-Friday 11 a.m.-7 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.-6 p.m., and Sunday noon-4 p.m. For more information, call 244-2585 or visit folivers.com.
Bed and breakfast, lunch and dinner
The Hyatt Regency Rochester has opened a new restaurant and bar as part of a multimillion-dollar redesign of the downtown hotel. The new restaurant — which replaces the former Italian-style restaurant Palladio — is called Scene on Main, and focuses on upscale modern-American and fusion cuisine. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner and also offers a lounge menu featuring a variety of wines, beers, and cocktails as well as a variety of signature share plates that are similar to tapas. Some of the share-plate offerings include duck quesadillas with porcini mushrooms, white cheddar, and smoked gouda ($16); charred upstate tomatoes and cilantro salsa served with blue corn tortilla chips ($12); and a snack platter of roasted figs, gorgonzolastuffed dates, candied nuts, and wasabi peas ($14). Dinner entrees include selections like smoked pork mini tacos with honeycrisp apple slaw and sofrito ($16); lobster mac and cheese with fried parsnips, Canadian smoked bacon, and chanterelle mushrooms ($20); and a pastrami-style salmon flatbread sandwich served with mustard, relish, and gruyere ($20). Scene on Main is located at 125 E. Main St. Breakfast is served Monday-Friday 6:30-10:30 a.m., Saturday-Sunday 7 a.m.-
The New York Wine & Culinary Center is hosting its fifth annual Rendezvous with Riesling event on Friday, August 12, 7-10 p.m. During the tasting, guests will have the opportunity to taste Rieslings from more than 30 New York State wineries, all of which are paired with seasonal, local cuisine. Some of the participating wineries include Dr. Frank Vinifera Wine Cellars, Glenora Wine Cellars, Knapp Winery, and Sheldrake Point Vineyard. For more information, call 3947070 or visit nywcc.com. The event coincides with the Finger Lakes Riesling Festival, which runs Saturday and Sunday, August 13-14, and held along Lakeshore Drive in Canandaigua. The festival includes wine and beer tastings from New York State wineries, a 5k Riesling run, food stands from area restaurants and vendors, an arts and crafts show, live music, and a farmer’s market. The event benefits the Canandaigua Family Y’s Caring for Kids campaign. Entrance to the festival is free; the wine tasting passport costs $15 for a festival wine glass and Riesling from up to six wineries while the beer tasting costs $10 for a sampling mug to taste beers from up to 10 breweries. For more information, visit rieslingfestival.com. Newcomer to the local brewer business, Rogers Beer — which launched its first brew, Rogers Pale Ale, last October — is celebrating the launch of its second brew, Rogers India Pale Ale. The launch party will be held at Jeffrey’s Bar (3115 E. Henrietta Road) on Friday, August 5, 7 p.m.-2 a.m. Both the Rogers Pale Ale and Rogers India Pale Ale are brewed by Custom BrewCrafters in Honeoye Falls. For more information, visit rogersbeer. com or jeffreysbar.com. The Flour City Brewfest will return this year on Friday, September 23, after taking a hiatus in 2010. The popular event will again be held at Frontier Field. Advance tickets can currently be purchased at a discounted rate of $35 for general admission ($40 regular price) and $75 for VIP admission ($100 regular price); tickets must be purchased by Thursday, August 4, to receive the discount.

[ FEATURE ] By Jesse Hanus
LATIN DANCE IN ROCHESTER
It was about five years ago that Jonah Inikori opened his own dance studio in Rochester, Darin Price started traveling the globe to learn more about Latin dance and music, and Kerri Vaughn started teaching salsa. These three are now at the core of the Latin dance scene in Rochester, and have dedicated themselves to helping it evolve over the past several years into one of the largest Latin dance scenes in upstate New York. Now an event like the monthly Latin night at Lovin’ Cup in Henrietta’s Park Point attracts nearly 150 dancers, including those taking lessons in the area and many trying it out for the first time. The bar was full at a recent Lovin’ Cup Latin night, and the dance floor was, too. Several people came early for an introductory salsa lesson, and afterward took to the floor to dance socially. Each man on the floor held a woman in his arms. Both dancers swayed their hips and moved their feet to the beat of the authentic Latin orchestra on stage. For one night a month, the Lovin’ Cup is transformed into a destination for Latin dancing. And that’s only one of the Latin dance opportunities Rochester has to offer. The term “Latin dance” covers many styles, including
salsa, bachata, cha-cha, mambo, merengue, samba, and Afro-Latin rhumba, all of which are taught at various locations in Rochester. Each style has
10 City august 3-9, 2011
slightly different steps, with the most popular in the Rochester area being salsa and bachata, according to Darin Price. Price, 27, is artistic director of Essence of Rhythm, a Latin dance company in Rochester, and is also owner and executive director of Rhythm Society Urban Wellness Studio on Bittner Street, which he opened in March 2011. Price says he has been around music and dance his entire life, with a specific focus on studying jazz and playing percussion. He began Latin dancing about 10 years ago by studying with local instructors in Rochester. Soon, he began traveling to areas like New York City, Chicago, and even internationally to further study Latin music and dance. Several things energized him to start teaching and organizing in Rochester. First, when he attended a dance congress — a weekend-long event filled with social dancing,

workshops, and competitions — in Chicago he realized the immense popularity of Latin dance. “This stuff is big. It’s underground, but it’s huge,” Price says, noting that there were around 1500 dancers in attendance at the Chicago event. He also noticed how much more advanced the style and level of dancing was compared to Rochester. “What I’d seen out there wasn’t being done here,” he says. In terms of music and dance appreciation, he didn’t see Rochester dancers trying to further their skills. “The dancers reached a certain level and then that was it, they were good enough for Rochester. No one really pushed themselves,” he says. Still, he was apprehensive about teaching. “I wasn’t convinced that I could teach,” Price says now. “It wasn’t until students were telling me, ‘This is what we’re missing.’” Price says his new approach included classes rich in technique and style, but also
imparting knowledge about the culture behind the dance styles. Jonah Inikori has been dancing for 12 years and also noticed the need for more Latin dance instruction in Rochester. That is partially what prompted him to open Inikori Dance Studio on University Avenue five years ago. “It was a combination of me being a business person, then also knowing the need that there was in the community to provide something different, something at a much higher level of skill than what existed,” he says. Inikori has seen Rochester’s Latin dance scene change substantially over the past five years. Local dancers travel more now, he says, because they realize the opportunities that big cities have to offer, such as workshops, competitions, or a dance congress. Even something as simple as dance shoes are much more common now. “The level of dance has increased significantly,” Inikori says. “There is a lot more passion too now in the community…about this kind of dancing.” Kerri Vaughn, 47, has been teaching salsa dancing for about five years. She started in Syracuse, after nearly 20 years of sacred circle dancing, an international folk dance. While attending a dance event in Ithaca, she witnessed a salsa performance and said to herself, “I’ve gotta do it.” In 2008 Vaughn lost her corporate IT job, and around that same time the current owners of a ballroom space in the South Wedge were looking for a new tenant. “It was kind of my retirement dream,” Vaughn says about opening what became the Tango Café Dance Studio on Gregory Street in September 2008. Just one year later she opened an actual cafe on the first floor of the same building, which offers a smaller dance space and selection of drinks and light food fare. While Rochester is on the small side compared to other
Latin dance hotspots, Price says the city is rich in Latin culture. He points out the large Latino presence at local universities, many Latino-owned businesses, as well as top-notch Latin bands founded in Rochester. However, he adds that there is a difference between the Latino culture and the Latin dance scene.
“Our scene, although obviously having its influences from Latinos, it pulls people from all different walks of life,” he says. Given the difference in locations and styles of dances offered, the studios attract different demographics. Price not only teaches at his Bittner Street location, which draws an ethnically diverse crowd, but also at Mo Dancing in Penfield, where his students tend to be middle-upper-class and white. Inikori runs a ballroom dance studio, with his instructors teaching more than 15 kinds of ballroomstyle dances, including waltz, tango, and swing. Only 10 percent of his students are Latino, because he says he targets a diverse population. Vaughn’s studio also offers multiple dance styles, including tango, ballroom, and swing. “There’s somewhat of a feeling that we’re a salsa studio, but we really do more than that,” she says. Many of Vaughn’s students are young and older professionals, including many faculty members from local colleges. Price says his students range in ages from 5 to 65 and
come from a wide range of backgrounds. One of Price’s students is Charlie Ballard from Rome, New York, a 55year-old sergeant at a corrections facility who has been Latin dancing for three years. Ballard used to travel two hours to Rochester three times a week to attend Price’s classes. He’s cut down slightly, attending classes only one night a week and sometimes heading back for the Saturday night social. While there is Latin dancing in the nearby city of Syracuse, Ballard says the level of instruction is simply not as high there, which is why he makes the trek out to Rochester to learn from Price. “He’s the best teacher I’ve ever had,” Ballard says. “Darin’s constantly evolving. As long as I’m with Darin, I’m going to evolve.” Another of Price’s students is Denisse Ramos, a 20-year-old business senior at the college of Brockport. Ramos saw Price and his partner give a cha-cha demonstration at the Rochester Athletic Club and decided to start taking classes.
“Ever since high school I’ve always wanted to learn the actual steps,” Ramos says. Coming from a Latin background, Ramos has been exposed to Latin styles of dance for most of her life. Now, she is taking weekly bachata lessons, a style that originated in the Dominican Republic and which is heavy in Latin hip movement, and she hopes to start learning salsa soon. “I love it because it’s not only about the steps, it’s all about the emotion and feel,” Ramos says. She adds that it’s good mental and physical exercise, and a great way to meet new people in a lower-stress and safer environment than the average bar. “You feel a type of pressure when you go out to a bar or to a club,” she says. However, at Price’s studio she said that everyone’s just there to learn, so she doesn’t feel pressured or self-conscious. Relief and recreation are common reasons why Price’s students attend classes, but there are other benefits to Latin dancing. “We look at what we do as an escape for members,” Inikori says. Often his students are looking for an escape from everyday life or whatever they do from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. “It’s balancing them out,” he says. Students might take classes because they are divorced, or haven’t dated in a while, or just want a new way to meet people. “I think the biggest thing is to get people over that hump of, ‘I want to try it but I’m apprehensive,’” Vaughn says. Emy Kadanaugh is one of Vaughn’s students who made it over that very hump. Kadanaugh, 56, is a mother continues on page 17

[ ROCK ] The Lost Patrol brings its genre-jumbled
brand of experimental goth-funk and “surf-a-billy” style upstate to the Bug Jar on Tuesday. Buffalo’s Dotsun Moon describes its sound as “dream beat/noir.” The band masters musical foreplay and the eventual, well, release by combining bits of trip-hop with a post-punk edge while über-talented vocalist Mary O. sings dreamy and sincere. Fans of Radiohead or Arcade Fire will dig The Cosmos, who list traffic noise and kitchen rock (whatever that is) as huge influences. — BY DAVID YOCKEL JR.

Times music critic Robert Shelton wrote an article about a 20-year-old singer from Minnesota with no album to his credit and no major songs to his name. Shelton called “Mr. Dylan” “a cross between a choir boy and a beatnik.” The following year, Dylan was sent over to Whitmark & Sons Publishing. In 2010, those Whitmark demo tapes of 47 songs from 1962 to 1964 were released. “Blowin’ in the Wind” was among those demos. And, like those 1963 lyrics to “The Times They Are A-Changin’,” many of Dylan’s lyrics ring just as true today. — BY PALOMA CAPANNA

to harmonize the falsettos needed to accomplish two of the most classic rock songs of all time. Most fans through the turnstiles were there to see Hollywood Undead, the rapmetal group from L.A. whose members wear masks on stage and have one-word nicknames. You could think of it as a white Wu-Tang Clan with even more angst, and of course, guitars. Hollywood Undead has just blown up and The Zone did well to take advantage of its newfound popularity. The band seems to offer a new paradigm of teenage angst: power chords plus plenty of theatrical macabre metal that takes the genre of raprock to a new level. Bush closed the day with a set filled with 90’s hits like “Machinehead,” “Little Things,” “Greedy Fly,” and “Everything Zen.” The set included some of the tracks from “The Science of Things,” the band’s more ethereal, electronica effort, while showcasing some new songs off its upcoming release, “The Sea of Memories.” The new compositions suggest that Gavin Rossdale has found his guitar again, and probably won’t get any more play on Warm 101.3.

And just a year later you had Last Note up and running.
That’s how hard it hit me. I wanted to be on stage bad. So I just went and dug for it. Was it easy?
No. I was frustrated I didn’t know anybody. So I went down to the Black Diamond and saw Pat Green. He’s an amazing guitar player. People are going to know his name. We spent six hours together playing in a barn in the middle of nowhere. And that was that. I still can’t get over the whole no-practice angle. How do you work up a show?
No show is ever the same. Half the show is improv. Nick LeDuc, singer of Last Note, was inspired to start a band after seeing a performance by the Family Dawgs. Now, just two years later, Last Note performs constantly − but rarely practices. PHOTO PROVIDED
Shuffling the guts Last Note Wednesday, August 10 Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. 8 p.m. | $5-$7 | 454-2966 Lastnoteband.com [ INTERVIEW ] By Frank De Blase
The rockers in Last Note straddle the centuries; one foot is planted in classic 20th century rock ’n’ roll, the other wallows in the comfort of 21st century ease. A little more than 2 years old, Last Note produces a sound that is an amalgam of rock subgenres without any clutter. It sounds as if the band — singer Nick LeDuc, guitarist Tim Green, bassist Kevin “Chops” Murray, and drummer Greg Andrews — practices a lot. It doesn’t; principal songwriter LeDuc writes at home and then fires off MP3s to the rest of the band. But that’s not the band’s only non-convention. Last Note’s debut, selftitled album was recorded live. Still with no rehearsals and no studio output, the band is gigging constantly. LeDuc stopped by to catch his breath and answer a few questions. An edited transcript of the conversation follows. CITY Newspaper: How did Last Note arrive at its sound? Nick LeDuc: Basically I don’t have just
one style of music I’m trying to shoot for. I’m trying to please myself, first off, not everybody else.
them through is a whole ’nother story. It’s just a wide range of influences coming in at us. And a lot of those things make me happy. And it happens when I write, and that’s how it comes out. I don’t push for it to come out any one style. It just happens that way. So perhaps you’ve arrived at your signature sound already.
Well, it definitely has our feel to it. To be honest with you, it’s effortless with these guys. We don’t ever practice. I just send them out an e-mail and when we get together it’s pretty much a lock. Everyone does their homework.
It can be tough to please myself. I’m pretty critical. We’ve got like 40 songs in rotation out of 100 that I’ve written. For me to push 14 City august 3-9, 2011
No, we don’t. There’s a basic shell for what we do, but nothing’s ever the same. We shuffle the guts around all the time. Why did you decide to release a live record first?
With stuff like Pro Tools you’ve got 14- or 15-year-old kids — and bands in general — coming out with polished greatness. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing but you may not see that when you go to see them live. I’d rather give you an album and then have you come see us and be blown back by the show. When we did that live album there were no effects. Will Last note ever do a studio record?
No practice?
I’ve got two other albums written and I want to try the studio. It’s just a money issue at this point.
I have a little studio in my apartment. I record it then send it to them. That’s how we do it.
Why not just do another live?
Isn’t that a little risky?
Maybe it could be. It hasn’t been so far. It’s just time efficient. We’re playing two or three days a week so we don’t really have time to rehearse. How do you write?
I try and write whenever I can. I’ve got songs written on the backs of receipts, bills — never on a lined piece of paper. When you’ve got it you’ve got to go for it. I just woke up this morning… capo on the seventh fret… three minutes flat…it just came out of me. It’s done, it’s gold. I wouldn’t touch it.
I wouldn’t be against it, but it would be nice to have a polished piece or at least a couple singles. Not really doctored, but mixed properly with an ear that’s not mine. What’s in Last Note’s future?
I definitely don’t want to keep bouncing around in a circle. I want to go all in. What’s the coolest thing an audience member has said to you after a show?
A kid walked up to me this past Saturday and said, “All I want to do in my life is what you’re doing. I want to be in your shoes.” Just like you and Family Dawgs.
What exactly lit your fuse? And how hard is that?
But you don’t come off with the looseness of a jam band.
I was diggin’ Family Dawgs and I went up to one of the guys after the show and he said, ‘Just get some guys together and make it happen.’ He made it sound so easy.
It’s amazing that’s how the circle works.

SALINGER’S 107 EAST AVENUE ROCHESTER NEW YORK
FUNK/SOUL | Robert Randolph and the Family Band
Robert Randolph and his “family” have been touring the globe, giving hugely energetic performances for years. This Thursday Randolph, whose pedal-slide-guitar prowess is sage-like, will have park-goers stomping their feet and clapping their hands uncontrollably at Party in the Park. His band is super tight, including bassist Danyel Morgan, a slap-happy string sophisticate, and drummer Marcus Randolph, whose driving beats provide the bones for Robert’s funky, soulful song structures. Robert Randolph was trained as a pedalsteel guitarist in the House of God Church, a style called “sacred steel” by many African-American churches. Rolling Stone has listed Randolph as one of the Top 100 greatest guitarists of all time. In short, go see a guitar god. You will leave with a new sense of a higher power. Robert Randolph and the Family Band plays Party in the Park Thursday, August 4, 5-10 p.m. at Riverside Festival Site, corner Court & Exchange. $2. rochesterevents.com. — BY DAVID YOCKEL JR.

POP/ROCK | Big Hurry
If you haven’t been paying attention, Pittsburgh has a burgeoning music scene. It might not be early 90’s Seattle just yet, but it’s developing a wide range of bands, including Big Hurry, which returns to Rochester to play Bug Jar this week. The band has a couple of EPs under its belt, both released in the past year, and both replete with catchy choruses and large hooks. Even if you haven’t heard the four-piece’s music previously, you’ll leave with it stuck in your head. Rochester bands The Dads and Routine Involvements (formerly Stereophone) open the show. Big Hurry performs Thursday, August 4, 8:30 p.m. at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $6-$8. 454-2966, bugjar.com. — BY ANDY KLINGENBERGER

Metal | Queensryche
When Seattle’s Queensryche rolls into Nola’s, at least one member of the band, guitarist Michael Wilton, will be no stranger to Southern cooking. Wilton, a co-founder of the group, contributed his Mississippi mud cake recipe to “Mosh Potatoes,” a cookbook that features delicious recipes from some of heavy metal’s biggest bands. That’s appropriate considering that Queensryche caught the attention of MTV in the early 90’s, with songs like “Silent Lucidity” giving the group’s intricate progressive sound a national audience. Despite the metal label, Queensryche has always been more like Pink Floyd than Black Sabbath. With the band’s latest album, “Dedicated to Chaos,” you’ll want to listen to it with headphones just to make sure you’re not missing a thing. Queensryche is celebrating its 30th anniversary tour.

This Massachusetts metal-ocalypse has been relentlessly touring since the band’s Boston beginnings in 2005. It has released a couple of EPs since its inception, and the albums showcase the wide spectrum of band’s sound, mixing an uptempo, aggressively technical style with melodic refrains. Shot Heard Around The World has had the opportunity to open up for post-hardcore pacesetters, including bands like All That Remains and Shadows Fall. These breaks have translated into a serious following throughout New England, as the band continues to etch its name into the metal landscape with its kinetic and chaotic live performances. Beyond Solomon and Saturn and Death By Protein also perform.

Inventive percussion ensemble So Percussion performs during Week 3 of the 2011 Skaneateles Festival. PHOTO PROVIDED
Experimental means exciting 2011 Skaneateles Festival August 8-September 3 Various venues in Skaneateles, NY skanfest.org [ PREVIEW ] BY PALOMA CAPANNA
Starting Monday, August 8, the lakeside community of Skaneateles will be transformed by the Skaneateles Festival, bringing in more than 100 musicians for dozens of concerts attracting thousands of patrons of classical music. If the patrons are the pilgrims, then the Skaneateles Festival is the shrine of all things classical, from pianist Jon Nakamatsu to the sounds of French composer Olivier Messiaen’s “Quartet for the End of Time.” “The whole season is going to be really fun and different,” says Elinor Freer, co-artistic director of the Skaneateles Festival. “There is something for everybody in a single week.” The design of the four-week festival is a different theme each week. The first week carries the theme of “community.” The second week, the best of the young. The third week features classically trained performers who may not be strictly classical. The fourth and final week offers pure masterpieces of the repertoire. “The theme of community is not a musical theme,” says Freer. “We’re dealing with performers who are part of the community, like Andy Russo of Syracuse, and also composers who wrote for their community.” The highlight of the first week is a concert on
Wednesday, August 10, featuring the “Hyperscore project,” involving composer Stacy Garrop, who helped students and adults write music using the Hyperscore software program.
Garrop worked with participants in an elementary school, middle school, high school, and adult community school, using Hyperscore to teach participants basic elements of composition and encouraging them to experiment with the program to create structure and sound. “We’ve chosen a couple of different examples to perform,” says Garrop. “Two little girls in middle school wrote a piece called ‘Slipalicious’ that’s really well done, and we’re going to play the file as is. You’ll see and hear what the Hyperscore file looks like — there is a bar that moves and you can see all the different colors flashing at you.” Garrop, who describes herself as part of “probably the last generation to use pencil and paper” to compose, will also give a talk on August 10 before the concert about her work and her experience on the Hyperscore project for the festival. Several of her works will also be performed during the concert. Another highlight of the festival is a performance
on Thursday, August 25, by “Sō Percussion,” a percussion quartet that Freer says made a “big splash on the scene” after two members graduated from the Eastman School of Music. “They started with no idea whether it was going to happen, but they have transformed the whole genre. They are like mad scientists, using a variety of instruments, from teapots to flower pots to kitchen plates. People will be extremely surprised at the huge variety of sounds — they are so amazing to watch as they negotiate the stage, choreographed like a ballet.” Jason Treuting is one of those Eastman graduates (’99), who double-majored in classical and jazz and played at Java’s on Friday nights. Sō Percussion concert selections for the festival “mean that there will be a whole lot of percussion instruments on stage,” says Treuting. The concert will include works by Steve Reich and Paul Lansky, among others.
“We are a group that takes our craft really seriously. We practice together a whole lot. Take it as seriously as anybody takes a fulltime job. We clock the hours,” says Treuting. “If you are going to come out to hear any new music, come to hear percussion.” Treuting is also a composer, and some of his works will be featured during the concert. “For me, ‘experimental’ means ‘exciting’; it means as a musician you are going to experiment and tinker and say, ‘Wow! That hasn’t been done before,’” says Treuting. “For me as an artist, that’s why I get up in the morning.” In the fourth week, the grand finale on
Saturday, September 3, includes a rarely performed work by Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, the “Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 for Soprano and 8 Cellos.” Sari Gruber is the featured soprano on this program that also includes works by Rossini, Britten, and Mozart. Among the eight cellists for the Villa-Lobos piece will be Freer’s husband, David Ying, well known as a member of the Ying Quartet. Ying has assembled the group of cellists, including performers from the Eastman School of Music and the Syracuse Symphony. Concerts for the festival are held in several locations, from lake-side to churches. Freer credits the Skaneateles location as offering “something unique.” “I’ve been to festivals around the country as an audience member and as a performer. There is no place quite like Skaneateles — the small, village-like setting, the ambiance of the lake, concerts on the lawn, under the stars, even the crickets,” says Freer. Freer also credits the people of Skaneateles for having embraced this festival for 30 years. “They think of it as their festival,” says Freer. “They welcome the musicians with open arms and they receive the concerts with enthusiasm.”

ART | FIRST FRIDAY
We’re well past the mid-year threshold, and tumbling faster toward darker colder days. So let’s not squander one of this year’s last balmy First Fridays by staying in. The monthly, city-wide gallery night is held by non-profit, university, and commercial and indie art venues in Rochester, where we all trot about from station to station, filling our eyes and ears with what’s new and exciting in our community. On Friday, August 5, 6-9 p.m. (and sometimes later) you can check out art openings, poetry readings, and musical performances in various locations. Visit firstfridayrochester.org for a list of this month’s participating venues, and check our online events calendar at rochestercitynewspaper.com for more receptions and exhibits. Rochester Contemporary’s annual “State of the City” exhibition returns with “In the Loop,” featuring new artworks and projects regarding the divisive Inner Loop by Jim Mott, Cary Markerink, Mark Edward Grimm, The Landmark Society of Western New York, and Bartow+Metzgar with James Downer & Greg Stewart. This exhibition kicks off the “Transitions-Rochester” project, which continues through November 13 and is an international collaboration between VSW, FOTODOK (The Netherlands), George Eastman House, and Rochester Contemporary. The reception for “In the Loop” takes place at Rochester Contemporary (137 East Ave., 461-2222, rochestercontemporary.org), 6-10 p.m., and admission is $1 for non-members. An artist talk follows on Sunday, August 7 at 1 p.m. At the Firehouse Gallery at the Genesee Center for the Arts & Education (713 Monroe Ave., 244-1730, geneseearts. org), artists Allison Craver and Lynne Hobaica will close out their residency with their joint-exhibition “Curio.” The functional ceramics include Craver’s delicate treasure chests and Hobaica’s whimsical works with renderings of robots and dinosaurs. The brand new Spectrum Gallery at Lumiere Photo’s new location (100 College Ave., 461-4447, lumierephoto.com) will host a striking exhibition of “Ralph Gibson: Photographs” (pictured). Cross the train tracks and visit the Hungerford building’s offerings, including Crocus Clay Works (Suite 225, 414-5643, crocusclayworks.com), which from 5 to 9 p.m. will host “Adornments & Adorables,” a show of works by Casey Wright and Amanda Preske, the ladies behind the popular Mayday Underground craft fair. While in the building, stop at Grass Roots Gallery (Suite 157, Door 1) for “bART without Orders,” a collaboration between Stephen Lindsey and Colleen Virdi. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Finger Lakes Gallery & Frame 36 S.

Because of the covert nature in which much graffiti is created, it’s a rare opportunity when the public can watch these talented artists work. Each year, Rochester’s local and longest-standing graf group, FUA Krew, hosts the BBOY BBQ at 914 N. Clinton Ave. This year’s free, family-friendly event takes place on Saturday, August 6, 9 a.m. to nighttime, and in addition to a mural creation and grub grilling, will feature musical performances including DJ Tony Touch and Hassan Mackey, raffles, and break dancing. FUA Krew will also present its exclusive art show and sale on Friday, August 5, 7-10 p.m., at 181 St. Paul Street, Room 3A. All proceeds from sales will go toward next year’s BBoy BBQ. Work by writers of the FUA Krew has been exhibited at the Memorial Art Gallery and Rochester Contemporary Art Center, and you can watch them paint live again outside of Visual Studies Workshop on October 13 as part of the “Transitions-Rochester” ongoing project.

critics, rakish servants, a salty fisherman, stuck-up mademoiselles, a couple of dogs, and even his own mother — while trying to understand both his ultimate vision and his estrangement from the people surrounding him. After a particularly ambitious intermission (yes, an ambitious intermission), the play jumps ahead 100 years for an interesting coda that again looks at the artistic temperament through a more modern filter, replacing the stoic nature of the first act with a surprisingly warm and hopeful conclusion.

Getting the point “Sunday in the Park with George” Through August 13 Blackfriars Theatre, 795 E. Main St. $27 | 454-1260, bftix.org [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK
The best kind of art can make a viewer look at the world in a new and different way. A particularly powerful painting or dance piece or film can prompt a response like, “How did another human being ever come up with something like that?” But such a radically altered perspective can be a burden as well as a boon, and our cultural history is littered with the bones of artistic geniuses who felt maligned, misunderstood, or just disconnected from the rest of the world, and who self-destructed far too soon. Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s “Sunday in the Park with George,” now on stage at Blackfriars, tells a fictionalized account of 19th century post-Impressionist painter Georges Seurat. While the show has some rough spots, the overall effect is a beautiful, moving portrait that examines both the rewards and perils of living with artistic genius. Seurat (1859-1891) is best remembered for his landmark pointillist painting, “A Sunday 22 City august 3-9, 2011
Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.” The mammoth piece combined studies Seurat made of visitors to the French island park with the artist’s scientific approach to color theory; instead of mixing paints together, he created each image out of a series of tiny individual dots, forcing the viewer’s eye to do the blending. Although the painting now resides in the Art Institute of Chicago (you might remember it from a key scene in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”) and is considered one of the most important works from that period, at the time Seurat’s efforts were largely dismissed. “Sunday” gives the artist his credit, and tries to explain to audiences how difficult it can be for a man who, say, sees light and color as tiny, separate elements and has an unrelenting focus on his art. The play starts with Seurat (played by Carl Del Buono) doing studies of various park goers, including his current love interest, the amusingly named Dot (Mary Tiballi). As she poses for her artist, Dot sings about her love for George, and her struggle with his clinical, distant nature. Later George rails against his frustrations with not being able to connect and understand, either to Dot or with the Parisian art scene. Eventually Dot leaves George, and the rest of the first act involves the painter interacting with all manner of Parisians — snooty art
The show features 17 actors, many of them playing two characters. With that many people on stage, all doing different things at the same time, I imagine that direction must be akin to air-traffic control at LaGuardia, but director Jack Haldoupis does his best to keep things moving forward. On opening night, Act 1 felt sluggish at times, the various entrances and exits failing to flow together seamlessly. Even the repeated transformations of the elaborate set occasionally felt clumsy, as paintings flipped either too far or not far enough, and a large sliding set piece got stuck on its track. But by Act 2 things had come together, and the show found its momentum. Carl Del Buono does a remarkable job in the lead role of George. Actually, he plays two roles named George — Seurat in the first act, and a different artist named George in the second. He transforms completely for each role. Forget the obviously fake beard; Del Buono changes everything, from the pitch of his voice to his mannerisms. Seurat is imposing and rigid; 1980’s George is something of a wet noodle. The switch must require remarkable concentration, but both parts feel equally lived in. Del Buono also has a terrific voice, especially in his upper register, and commits fully, no matter how ridiculous the scenario. I thought he was having an actual mental breakdown during the song in which he channeled the thoughts of a dog, and I mean that as a compliment. Mary Tiballi is perhaps even more impressive in her transformation from saucy Dot into aged Marie. Tiballi clearly has a real knack for humor — she has lots of great little physical reactions in both roles — but she particularly excelled as Marie. The crumpled physicality of the character and the small, quavering voice flirted with caricature, but Tiballi kept a rein on it, and was quite moving in her extended solo song in Act 2. The majority of the rest of the cast acquits itself well in the small scenes, and the costumes by Haldoupis are across-the-board excellent. People tend to either love or hate Sondheim, but even for admitted fans of the composer (and I consider myself one of them), the music in “George” is not his strongest work. Only one or two of the songs in the show really resonate, including the classic “Putting it Together.”

Most of us have a little extra junk in the trunk. I’m not talking about the results of our national couch-potato problem, but our mutual hoarding tendencies. So that junk may actually be located in your attic, basement, or your spare room. If you’re looking to trim down your collection of music, movies, and other items of interest, load up your car and head over to the Record Archive (33 1/3 Rockwood St.) each second and fourth Wednesday this month. On August 10 and 24, 6-8 p.m., join other locals looking to sell and swap their white elephants in the parking lot of the Archive. The event is free to attend and way more convenient than a yard sale, in that you’re bringing your items to a crowd instead of begging a crowd to come to you. And personally, I love the aspect of bringing bartering back. So clean out your closets and storage, and get ready to trade for new treasures.

SPORTS | WALNUT HILL CARRIAGE DRIVING COMPETITION
The picturesque town of Pittsford is the perfect place to recreate the spirit and elegance of a 19th century carriage race. Hundreds of competitors from the United States, Canada, and Europe will gather this week to compete in Pittsford’s annual competition. The event runs Wednesday, August 10, to Sunday, August 14, at Walnut Hill Farm on West Bloomfield Road. This is a great chance to forget the modern world and transport yourself back a century or so for a couple of days. The competition will be modeled after an 1890 state fair, and competitors will be dressed in top hats and coattails. The competition features a variety of classes, including a fancy dress/costume class, a small pony class, and a four-in-hand horse class. There is also a pony-coaching and horse-coaching competition. Each day of the competition features a unique event like Wednesday’s Barbecue and Casino Night or Friday’s Ascot Picnic featuring the Flower City Orchestra. The week ends with a Parade of Champions that showcases all competition winners. Tickets are available at the gate and are $10 for general admission and $5 for children.

THEATER | “39 STEPS”
John Buchan’s spy novel “The 39 Steps” was one of the first “man-on-the-run” thrillers ever written. Protagonist Richard Hannay originated the now over-used archetype of a regular guy caught up in a twisted crime plot. The novel was adapted into a popular Alfred Hitchcock film in 1935 and has continued to be adapted to the screen and stage. Perhaps the most amusing adaptation of “The 39 Steps” is Patrick Barlow’s Broadway farce where all 150 characters are played by four actors. Bristol Valley Theater is bringing all of the mystery, murder and comedy of the play to Naples this week. The show will run Thursday, August 4-Sunday, August 14. Like the Broadway play, it will feature four actors playing more than 150 comedic characters. This stage version tells the story of a regular London man who gets drawn into the evil plot of a spy group bent on putting the whole nation’s security in danger. He must avoid capture by dressing up in various disguises. Tickets for the show range from $12 to $32 and can be purchased at bristolvalleytheater.org. Bristol Valley Theater is located at 151 S Main St. in Naples. — BY ALEXANDRA CARMICHAEL

The movie’s title says it all: aliens from outer “Cowboys & Aliens” space invade the town of Absolution, New (PG-13), directed by Jon Favreau Mexico, blowing up buildings, killing people Now playing and cattle, and snatching some of the citizens up to their aircraft. The bewildered locals think Whatever its honorable tradition and the rigidity the invaders are demons until an otherworldly of its conventions, the Western, that grand, young woman named Ella (Olivia Wilde) quintessentially American genre, frequently convinces them of their true identity and assists demonstrates its versatility through fusions with the protagonist, Jake Lonergan (Daniel Craig), other forms. Its history features combinations in leading a defense against the enemy and the with the musical, the vampire film, the horror rescue of the kidnaped townspeople. flick, even pirate movies, along with such In its early stages, however, “Cowboys and oddities as Western versions of “Hamlet” and Aliens” resembles scores of other films and “Rashomon.” The new movie “Cowboys & even now and then seems like a compendium Aliens” indicates that the merging of genres Western, including elements from hundreds of other movies. It opens with Craig awakening in the middle of an empty, arid landscape, confused about his location and identity, suffering a painful wound, and wearing an odd bracelet he cannot remove.

and ask him who he is and how he got there, he can only respond, as he does throughout much of the picture, that he doesn’t know. He rides into Absolution like the lone figure in any Western, encountering a great many of the stereotypical characters of the genre — a kindly preacher, a frightened businessman, a cowardly young bully with a gang of thugs, a timid sheriff, a cattle baron who owns the whole town, and a sympathetic young woman, the lovely Ella, who knows more about him than he does himself. He quickly lands in trouble, antagonizing the bully, fighting with the sheriff and his deputies, and earning the hatred of the cattleman, who also happens to be the bully’s father. All of that changes, however, when out of nowhere a flight of strange aircraft bombs the town, shoots death rays, pulls a number of the townspeople up into their ships, and introduces the science-fiction part of the movie. The attack on the town enrages the cattle baron, Woodrow Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford), who forms a posse that includes Ella and ultimately Lonergan, who now knows his identity and how to use his strange bracelet, to track the aliens and recapture the abducted citizens, one of whom is Dolarhyde’s son Percy (Paul Dano). After a number of difficulties along the way, the script begins cramming in other elements, like Lonergan’s former gang of outlaws and a band of Apaches, who both join the posse of cowboys and townsfolk.

My fair ladies’ man [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO
“Crazy, Stupid, Love.” (PG-13), directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa Now playing
assemblage rides hell for leather across the dusty land, tracking monsters and, for several members, beginning a process of personal development. In the process of tracking, then fighting the monsters in number of skirmishes, some characters undergo one form or another of a manhood ritual, a transformation that almost always occurs in the form. Lonergan’s gang of outlaws redeem themselves, not surprising in a film with a town called Absolution; the frightened businessman learns to kill in the best traditions of a form that prizes violence; Dolarhyde, a bitter sadist, softens enough to encourage a young boy to face his fears and become a man himself; one of his cowboys confesses his filial admiration for his brave and irascible boss, and so on: most inspiring. Despite the superficial silliness of the situation and the notion of a science-fiction Western, “Cowboys & Aliens” actually works quite well, especially as a Western. Though overloaded with plot, possibly the result of a whole bunch of credited screenwriters, it successfully combines its odd elements, and features a satisfying performance from Harrison Ford, who plays a negative character with conviction. Daniel Craig, whose craggy deadpan and laconic underacting suit the strictures of the form, stands up to Ford’s star quality; it seems entirely appropriate that this British actor should win his spurs as an American star in the most American of all film genres.
So last week in this space I took the superficial romantic comedy “Friends With Benefits” to task for making smug fun of the genre’s sappy clichés, only to eagerly succumb to every last one of them at the designated hour. Our latest rom-com, the flawed but nonetheless swooning “Crazy, Stupid, Love.,” actually does the same thing; characters point out typical cinematic tropes then go on to embrace the convention. This time, however, the apparent hypocrisy is fine with me. Now, it’s not because I’m being wishy-washy (for once), or because Justin Timberlake is growing oddly creepier by the minute (he is). It’s because, unlike “Friends With Benefits,” “Crazy, Stupid, Love.” understands that within the lazy shorthand of cliché lies an inevitable kernel of nonfiction, then proceeds to explore that truth in all its crazy, stupid glory. “I think I’m having a midlife crisis,” the visibly upset Emily
Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling in “Crazy, Stupid, Love.” PHOTO COURTESY WARNER
(Julianne Moore) tells her husband Cal (Steve Carell) in the opening scenes of “Crazy, Stupid, Love.” “Can women even have midlife crises? In the movies, it’s always men.” And this particular movie does nothing to shatter that particular stereotype, as Cal throws himself out of their car rather than listen to her heartfelt reasons for wanting to end their marriage of more than two decades. So forget about Emily and her issues; cut to Cal holding down a stool at a local watering hole, nursing vodka cranberries and squawking to nobody in particular about the retro despair of cuckoldry. Local ladies’ man Jacob (Ryan Gosling) hears his moodruining cries from across the room and decides to take the rumpled, self-pitying Cal under his sexy wing. Why? “Maybe you remind me of someone,” Jacob replies. Cue a loose, funny shopping montage, one designed to get Cal out of his Dockers and sneakers (“Are you Steve Jobs?” Jacob heckles him) and into many, many, many stylish layers. Soon Jacob is holding class at the bar, teaching Cal the finer points of macking on the ladies, where his “Game”-esque negging lands him a few willing bodies. But, of course, Cal still loves Emily, who is herself off exploring a freedom she hadn’t bargained for or even really seems to want. Subplots include a weird one about Cal and Emily’s 13-year-old son Robbie (the sleepy-eyed but sharp Jonah Bobo) and his all-consuming crush on babysitter Jessica (Analeigh Tipton, pillow-lipped and coltish), as well as Jacob’s lovely confusion in the face of strong feelings for an actual human female. She is Hannah, an aspiring lawyer played by the feisty, luminous Emma Stone.
“Crazy, Stupid, Love.” is the second film from Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the “Bad Santa” writers whose directing debut gathered dust for two years as studios tried to figure out how to market their warm and offbeat “I Love You Phillip Morris.” They capably juggle the story’s oft-intersecting threads, pacing things in such a way that the film’s twists are at once organic and hand-over-the-mouth unexpected. The smart script by Dan Fogelman, while both starry-eyed and keenly observed, does seem to hinge on the socially palatable notion of monogamy good/ field-playing bad, with Jacob’s cockof-the-walk magnetism dimming as he settles into a relationship. Granted, by this time the focus is primarily on Cal and Emily, but “Crazy, Stupid, Love.” comes off like a chick flick not about women, but about what men think women would like to believe about men. I haven’t even mentioned the everwonderful Marisa Tomei, who pops up in a small, kooky role as Cal’s first conquest, but there’s honestly not much to say about the ladies here. As superb as Moore and Stone are, they merely seem to be vehicles for the respective redemptions of our central duo. Fortunately, Carell is always affecting in these bittersweet, vulnerable kinds of roles (like “Dan in Real Life” or “Little Miss Sunshine”), when he’s called upon to react and listen rather than just gnaw on the scenery. And Gosling was so smart to change it up; not only was his intense dramatic suffering over the past few years starting to become a little — sorry, I have to say it — boring, but he is a deft comedian, with killer instincts and timing. And abs. Killer, killer, cheese-grating abs that inspire Stone’s PG-13 Hannah to finally have her R-rated moment.

A Browncroft Oasis
8 Merchants Road
Since its development in the early 20th century,
Upstairs are three large bedrooms with nice
the Browncroft neighborhood has been a showcase of Colonial Revival architecture, with splendid shade trees and gardens that hint at its past as the site of the Brown Brothers’ nursery. Across from a small park on Browncroft Boulevard at 8 Merchants Road is a 1923 Colonial Revival style house with crisp sage green paint, cream trim and a large, idyllic yard that exemplifies the neighborhood.
closets (one room has two) and a full bath, sensitively remodeled with black and white tile and a pedestal sink. A former sleeping porch has been converted to a dressing room with a sink and vanity. On the third floor, the finished attic has an office and playroom, which could also function as extra bedrooms or a guest suite.
The original front door leads to a tiled foyer with a coat closet. The adjoining living room is bright with bay windows. Interior shutters provide privacy, air, adjustable light and showcase the window trim and moldings. The original fireplace has a wood-burning EnergyStar insert. The hardwood floors, which appear throughout the house, are in excellent condition. Off the living room is a remodeled sunroom with tiger maple floors that currently functions as a child’s playroom but would make
The basement is partially finished, with a large tiled room, a laundry room, and a second full bath. The 2177 square foot house is so well designed that it seems much larger, and it sits on an unusually large city lot. A handsome garage is located behind the house with the large yard to the side, a broad sunny swath of lawn bordered by perennials, flowering trees and bushes. A brick walk leads to a shaded patio, with a large stone fireplace and a small pond with trickling water. It is truly an urban oasis.
a fine office or sitting room. The dining room has handy built-in cabinets, with plenty of drawers and display shelves and a pass-through from the kitchen for serving. The large kitchen also has built-ins, a ceramic tile floor, and a huge window overlooking the beautiful yard—a perfect place to breakfast. Throughout the house the fine original windows are unusually large, allowing plenty of light and cross ventilation. Several windows, including the one lighting the stairway, have interior shutters, making curtains unnecessary.
This neighborhood not only has easy access to the expressway, downtown and the eastern suburbs, but is in walking distance to shopping, restaurants, the Winton Library and School 46.
