Fall Guide 2011 We’re sorry to inform you that, barring rapid scientific advances courtesy of the Egghead-American community, it will be virtually impossible for you to take advantage of every amazing cultural opportunity coming up in Rochester this fall (and beyond). The good news is that City Newspaper’s cultural critics have chimed in with their top picks for the most exciting music concerts, dance performances, theater shows, art exhibits, film screenings, and more coming up in the 2011-2012 arts season. If you need even
more ideas for what to see and do, check out the 2011 Fall Guide on rochestercitynewspaper.com, which will include comprehensive listings from all of the area arts and cultural organizations. Not that we’re advocating that you stay indoors all fall. Autumn is lovely in Rochester, and this Fall Guide also includes an essay about appreciating some of our city’s more stalwart sentinels — trees — as well as a massive list of festivals and special events that should get you into the crisp fall air.

Perry, Obama, and job creation
Republican presidential candidate and Texas Governor Rick Perry of Texas considers Social Security a trick. In truth, Social Security will be safe-guarded and is fully funded until 2025. As long as individuals continue to be employed with jobs in America, Social Security will remain stable for the elderly and disabled. Do readers remember President Bush’s plan allowing individuals to take their Social Security benefits and put them in the stock market? Recipients might have lost their benefits altogether if they had. Governor Perry stated that he worries about his 27-year-old son not seeing Social Security benefits. He should worry about his son getting a job for the next 40 years in our country. We worked and paid into that system for our Social Security and Medicare. Perry claims job growth as one of his accomplishments. Most of the jobs he created are government jobs. These are the jobs the GOP is focusing on eliminating. We should think about all the Americans who built this country. Many of them are our teachers, firefighters, and police officers. These people are vital members of our community and are union members. Republicans want to hatchet our public education and force parents to pay for a private system. They have eliminated 145,000 teachers this year. GOP governors in the following states want to cut bargaining rights from all unions: Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Florida, and New Jersey. I guess students should be preparing for larger classes, fewer teachers, and electives being cut — including arts, music, and sports — in the near future. GOP governors consider any national disaster not their problem. I’d rather place leaders in
office who exhibit careful planning, leadership, and responsibility to their constituents. Since the Republicans took control of the House of Representatives in January 2011, they have decided what bills come to the floor. Many of the job-creation bills prepared and proposed by the other party have never been addressed. They were blocked and tabled. After a lengthy vacation, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is set to launch an all-out assault on environmental and labor-protection jobs. Cantor, the Tea Party, and their backers want to sacrifice clean air and water and workers’ rights. It’s time for the GOP to step forward to create jobs, not eliminate them. Show some real leadership by working together as ONE country. JANET REYNOLDS, WEBSTER
From our website
On our August 17 article on police oversight: The police review
board at the Center for Dispute Settlement is NOT independent. It can only take complaints about the police that are then forwarded on to RPD internal affairs. It is then up to the police chief if any complaints are referred back to the civilian review people at CDS only after the RPD investigates. In other words, Rochester’s “civilian” review process merely brackets (or is window dressing) for a review process that is completely controlled by the police. The only way to have a true independent civilian review process is to make it separate from any investigations the police do. True independent civilian oversight of the police is the only way to bring real accountability. 19TH WARD NEIGHBOR
On neighborhood concerns about the Collegetown plan for Mt. Hope Avenue: As a nearby
resident, I’m really excited about this project. It doesn’t need more traffic in the mix. There will be plenty of foot traffic from students, medical center staff, and local residents. Let the pedestrians dominate. Urban residents have been craving something like this, but we don’t need another strip mall. If McDs is interested in expanding, let them, but they should have to conform to zoning. BETH
I understand the goal to create a big-city pedestrian-friendly environment, but it just doesn’t work in
medium-sized cities. Just about every restaurant in our whole city and county relies almost exclusively on parking for customers. Collegetown will need to have lots of parking or the retailers will fail and we will have another fast ferry on our hands. How many restaurants are downtown? 1 or 2? They can’t survive down there b/c our market (residents) want and need their cars. I’m for collecting tax moneys from these companies and letting them supply jobs to our community. CITY RESIDENT
“… a big-city pedestrian-friendly environment just doesn’t work in medium sized cities”? I beg your pardon? Ithaca, Madison, Burlington, VT, Saratoga Springs, Corning, etc. Not to mention Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo and our very own Park Avenue. Small and medium-sized cities can most certainly be pedestrian friendly. It just takes vision and perseverance to overcome the auto-dependent development pattern in this community. Most of Monroe County is built around the automobile. There need to be a few enclaves where car ownership is not a prerequisite. Finally, according to the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation website, there are 122 restaurants downtown. URBAN EXPLORER
I live in the Lilac neighborhood, a few blocks from Mt. Hope and Elmwood. The traffic near that intersection is very busy and quite pedestrian-unfriendly AS IT NOW STANDS. Left turns hold up traffic, fouling the environment even more. It doesn’t sound like McD’s is respecting the carefully crafted plans set up by the people who live there and are the most invested in what happens there. SUSAN MANDL
I have a flat in Park Ave, and the businesses there are all local and run by people in the community. I love it. No one who actually lives in the neighborhood is interested in picking up after people who don’t care what the neighborhood looks like with trash and extra cars. I’m all for economic growth, but the UofR can stimulate the local economy better by offering those locations to real Rochester businesses, not franchises and large corporations which will just ignore zoning laws and regulations.

urban journal | by mary anna towler
Barack Obama and our next 16 months I’d say that we’re in a battle for the heart and soul of America, but journalists have a rule about avoiding clichés. Still, 10 years after 9/11, what are we to make of what’s happening in Washington? I felt a little encouraged as President Obama wrapped up his big jobs speech last Thursday. He seemed strong, determined. Republicans looked slightly more conciliatory as they listened, even standing up with Democrats, every once in a while, and applauding. And it was encouraging the next morning to see both the moderate Republican David Brooks and the liberal Paul Krugman finding value in the speech in their columns in the Times. Surely members of Congress are concerned enough about unemployment and the economy that they’ll abandon their harsh partisanship and pull together. Then I read Dana Milbank’s column in the Washington Post, “The Irrelevancy of the Obama Presidency.” Milbank, who apparently watched Obama’s jobs speech in person, saw things the rest of us didn’t. Republicans, he said, snickered, giggled, and laughed their way through the event. To many of them, Milbank writes, Obama’s speech was “a big, fat joke.” Even some Democrats treated the speech as though it were meaningless, says Milbank. And long before Obama gave the speech, writes Milbank, “both sides had concluded it didn’t much matter: Obama has become too weak to enact anything big enough to do much good.” Milbank quoted Representative Steve Cohen, a Democrat from Tennessee: “I thought it was a great speech,” Cohen said. But Cohen also thought that “the odds of Obama getting his plan through Congress ‘are probably as good as the Nationals winning the league this year.’” The fierce partisanship in Washington didn’t start with the Obama presidency (though I’m convinced that for some people — consciously or subconsciously — his race has heightened it). It’s been brewing, and increasing, for years. And certainly Obama has brought a bit of this on himself, trying for far too long to meet Tea Party Republicans half way. But Barack Obama is president of the United States. He was elected, fairly. He will serve as the leader of this country, and he will represent this country abroad, until at least mid-January 2013. Do we really not care what happens in the United States between now and then?
Obama will serve as president until at least mid-January 2013. Do we really not care what happens between now and then? Opposition is one thing. Outright disrespect is quite another. Refusing to compromise, and ridiculing the president in the process, is downright dangerous. I hope Milbank’s assessment of Obama’s weakness isn’t accurate. I haven’t seen anything else referring to Republicans’ boorish behavior during last week’s speech. But I have seen plenty of reference to the chances for his jobs bill: nil. This is what we could be looking at for the next 15 months. Obstruction and ridicule. Many of us are unhappy with the president’s record. For a reality check, though, I’ve saved Jonathan Chait’s article, “Mistakes Were Made: Just Not the Ones that Obama’s Liberal Critics Keep Shouting About,” from the Times Magazine earlier this month. Obama has done the best he could, writes Chait, given the Republicans’ obstinate opposition. And liberals’ criticism, he says, “ignores the real choices Obama faced (and the progressive decisions he made) and wishes away any constraints upon his power.” “The most common hallmark of the left’s magical thinking,” writes Chait, “is a failure to recognize that Congress is a separate, coequal branch of government consisting of members whose goals may differ from the president’s.” Chait’s right. And despite their legitimate concerns, Democrats of all stripes need to get behind the president — as vocally in support as the Tea Partiers are in opposition. At the core, Obama’s heart and his head are in the right place. Despite his sometimes maddening dithering and backsliding, his administration is (mostly) moving the country in the right direction. And you can’t say that about any of the Republicans who want to replace him.

Losing part of the loop?
The City of Rochester is looking to fill in nearly a mile of the Inner Loop, from Charlotte Street to Broadway. Officials will apply for a $15-million federal grant to cover the bulk of the cost, with the city kicking in $5 million. Filling the loop has been talked about for years because the moat-like cavity creates a barrier between the Center City and nearby neighborhoods.
Farewell to the Hojack?
According to 13Wham, CSX is applying for permits to demolish the Hojack Swing Bridge over the Genesee River near Lake Ontario. The bridge, which was built in 1905 for the New York Central Railroad, is in disrepair. But it has historic value for some residents, and there have been efforts over the last 10 years to save it. CSX reportedly plans to have the bridge gone by early 2012.
Mayoral succession goes to vote
Mayor Tom Richards has signed legislation governing how the city will pick a mayor in the event of an unexpected vacancy.
The b e s t is on
meal
The legislation allows the mayor to appoint an interim replacement, and establishes the process for handling a vacancy in the top office. It calls for a special election for about half the year, and an appointment followed by a primary the other half, depending on when the vacancy occurs. Rochester residents will vote on the legislation in November.

McDonald’s Collegetown vote delayed
The City Planning Commission has postponed a vote on McDonald’s Collegetown project. The applicant, a commission member said, asked for a delay. McDonald’s plans to tear down its restaurant at 1422 Mt. Hope, rebuild, and expand. But many neighbors are upset because they say the plans run counter to the vision for Collegetown: to create a pedestrianfriendly neighborhood. Another concern: two residential properties will be bought and absorbed into the Collegetown district — expanding that district before a single shovel has hit the ground. The commission may vote on the application next month.
An assistant professor at Rochester Institute of Technology is developing a video game that will let students practice preservation and conservation skills without, say, destroying a priceless piece of art. Elizabeth Goins, assistant professor of fine arts and director of student research in RIT’s museum-studies program, has won a $25,000 federal grant to develop an interactive video game. The game will be used in the classroom, and for online professional training, volunteer training, and community outreach.

The game will modify “Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion,” a popular fantasy role-playing game. Players can pop “Oblivion” into the PC, download the RIT modification for free, and start playing. “One of the big problems with training in art conservation is that students can’t practice on real objects,” Goins says. “Role-playing games allow players to step inside a virtual world where they can handle materials and make mistakes without harming anyone or anything.” In the game, players will be able to act as a conservator, conservation scientist, or collection manager. They will participate in quests to obtain objects, materials, and
data, and will have to protect their collections from light exposure, pollutants, environmental disasters, and other threats. “If war breaks out, what do you do with your collection?” Goins says. “What are you going to pack up?” Another example: A student can practice authenticating a sculpture. In real life, that might involve taking a sample from the piece and analyzing it, Goins says. The game will let you do the analysis, without harming the sculpture. The game will be available as a free download from RIT sometime late next year.
Ultimately, researchers want to show the extent to which the health of the lower Genesee has improved. Federal, state, and county officials have a long-term goal of restoring the lower Genesee and the Rochester Embayment, a recessed area of Lake Ontario between Webster and Parma.

Fishing for water-quality clues Sturgeon and the Genesee River may be coming full circle. Pollution played a role in nearly wiping out the lower Genesee’s sturgeon population, and now the prehistoriclooking fish may help researchers track the river’s health over the next century. Improved conditions in the lower Genesee made it possible for the US Geological Survey, a federal scientific agency, to reintroduce sturgeon into the river in 2003. The fish are doing well and that’s a positive sign for the river’s environmental health, says Jeff Wyatt, chair of the Department of Comparative Medicine at the University of Rochester’s School of Medicine and Dentistry. “They are growing at rates similar to healthy populations in Wisconsin,” he says. Wyatt, UR veterinary resident Louis DiVincenti, and USGS ecologist Dawn Dittman received a $307,487 federal Great Lakes Restoration Initiative grant to study contaminant levels in lower Genesee sturgeons. They’ll take blood samples from some of the 1,900 reintroduced fish — about 1,000 remain in the river — and measure them for contaminants like silver, dioxins, PCBs, cadmium, and the pesticide Mirex. They’ll compare the results to data from sturgeons in the unpolluted Oswegatchie River in northern New York.
Ultimately, researchers want to show the extent to which the lower Genesee has improved, Wyatt says. Federal, state, and county officials have a long-term goal of restoring the lower Genesee and the Rochester Embayment, a recessed area of Lake Ontario between Webster and Parma. The sturgeon, which can live 100 years or more, could be a good long-term indicator of pollution levels in the lower Genesee, Wyatt says. The sturgeons in the lower Genesee River ecosystem have spent their entire lives there, he says, so they won’t carry outside contaminants. The fish have radio tags so they can be tracked and periodically retested.

Nature keeps complicating state officials’ attempts to end a moratorium on high-volume hydraulic fracturing. | First, Hurricane Irene delayed the release of the state’s environmental statement on the process; officials needed to focus their immediate attention on damage from the hurricane. | Now, the double-punch of Irene and Hurricane Lee may cause the state to rethink where it allows fracking. | Much of the hurricane-related flooding occurred in the heart of the state’s share of the Marcellus Shale, around the Binghamton area. | Kevin Cahill, chair of the State Assembly’s Energy Committee, says the state should update maps to show which shale areas are susceptible to extreme flooding. The state wants to prohibit fracking in those areas, known as 100-year floodplains, because of the potential to spread pollution and cause other damage. | A spokesperson for the State Department of Environmental Conservation told North Country Public Radio that a taskforce will examine the floodplains issue. She also said that the DEC wouldn’t delay its review of the environmental statement released last week. The public has until December 12 to comment on the document, which can be found at http://www.dec.ny.gov/ energy/75370.html.

Readying Rochester’s first ‘green’ festival The Greentopia Festival makes its debut at a time of global discussion about what it means to be “green.” The free event is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on September 17 and 18 in the High Falls district. The founders, Philipson Group principals Michael Philipson and Lewis Stess, say the event will bring together ecologically-conscious businesses, environmental groups, a film festival, speakers, art made of recycled materials, and activities. The idea is to highlight environmental issues like transportation, renewable energy, and food production and the way that businesses, organizations, and individuals are approaching them. “Part of the idea is to open up this conversation,” Philipson says. The festival also provides an opportunity to show how environmentalists work with governments, organizations, and businesses to protect the environment. “It’s an opportunity for the green community to meet the general public,” says Frank Regan, an environmental activist who chairs the local Sierra Club chapter’s Zero Waste Committee. Regan also operates rochesterenvironment.com. But the notion of a green festival raises
the question: what exactly does “green” mean? Many festivals, after all, aren’t known for having a light environmental footprint. Trash is a particular problem. Greentopia organizers put together a large steering committee consisting of area environmental leaders to ensure the event’s integrity. They’ve also found ways to reduce the actual festival’s impact. As a concept, being green seems simple: it’s a matter of embracing a lifestyle, habits, and practices that minimize harm to the planet. It can include conserving energy, choosing renewable energy when possible, choosing local and organic food, minimizing or eliminating unnecessary waste, and biking or walking short distances instead of using a car. Something simple can make a big difference, such as filling a reusable bottle with tap water instead of buying bottled water. (Greentopia organizers encourage guests to bring their own water bottles to the festival. Filling stations will be provided.) But the green label has been misused and abused, and is sometimes greeted with skepticism. For example, corn ethanol was once considered — and is still considered by some — a green City
SEPTEMBER 14-20, 2011
fuel. But it takes more energy to make ethanol than the fuel puts out. Studies also show that the fuel, throughout its entire production and use cycle, doesn’t offer substantial emissions reductions. Yet it still gets called green by some, possibly because it’s not a fossil fuel or because of outdated perceptions. Nuclear power is sometimes cast as green, too, because it’s an alternative to coal and natural gas plants. While the generating process may emit fewer greenhouse gases, nuclear still has serious environmental problems. Among them: disposal of the spent fuel rods and destructive uranium mining. The list goes on to include products that tout their greenness but include harmful ingredients, and companies that make so-called green products but cause environmental harm in other ways. So how will Greentopia advance and
illustrate environmentally-friendly living? Take its Bike the Bridges event as an example. The ride is a self-guided, six-mile bike tour starting at Genesee Valley Park and ending at the festival site in High Falls. The route goes along the Genesee River and takes cyclists across several bridges along the way. The concept is based on the Bridge Pedal in Portland, Oregon. Cycling has many environmental benefits, especially when it replaces short car trips. Riding a bike cuts down on greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions. But the ride’s organizer, Scott MacRae, says there’s a chicken-and-egg scenario when it comes to getting people to use bikes. Some people are afraid to ride on roads without bike lanes, but government officials often won’t sign-off on bike lanes until they see sufficient numbers of cyclists using a particular road. MacRae hopes the ride helps change minds: maybe it’ll be the start of a biking and walking culture in Rochester, he says. Greentopia also seizes on some other key environmental concepts.

Organizers have taken steps to minimize, if not eliminate, landfill-bound waste from the event. For waste that couldn’t be eliminated, they say they tried to make sure it could be recycled or composted. So expect to see recycling and compost bins at the festival. Festival organizers say they are also trying to use as much renewable energy as possible. For example, a music stage will be powered by solar panels, and wind-power credits will offset electricity consumption at the Center at High Falls. Organizers say they hope people walk away
from Greentopia with one good green idea to try, and that a public dialogue begins about what it means to be green and how to be greener. The environmental community tends to be insular, the Sierra Club’s Regan says, so Greentopia will be an opportunity for environmentalists to engage the public on a variety of issues. For example, the local Sierra Club chapter will conduct a survey on global warming, asking people’s perceptions on the issue and where they get their information about it. Regan will be at the festival representing the club’s Zero Waste
Committee and will display what he calls “the perfect recycling bin.” The bin has a mesh lid, meant to keep paper and other recyclables from blowing around. It also has a place for, and listing of all things recyclable in Monroe County. It’s an important thing to show the public, Regan says, given the county’s recent plastics recycling expansion. But Philipson and Stess say they also hope that the preparation they’ve done to lessen the festival’s environmental impact gets noticed by other event organizers. Maybe, they say, other local fests will work to reduce their garbage output. “What we’re really hoping to do here is set a new standard for local festival sites,” Stess says.

SEPTEMBER 14-20, 2011
Dining Gluttons rejoice
The end of summer signifies a lot of things — back to school, football season, trees changing colors — but for Rochester foodies the end of summer means it’s time for the Foodlink Festival of Food, where patrons can sample eats and drinks from a seemingly endless array of local restaurants, bakeries, caterers, farms, coffeehouses, breweries, and wineries. This year’s 8th annual festival, which will be held Monday, September 19, 6-9 p.m. at the Rochester Public Market, continues that model. Festival of Food 2011 will feature nearly 90 participants in six categories, including 24 restaurants and caterers, 20 specialty food vendors, eight bakeries, 27 wineries and breweries, five non-alcoholic beverage participants, and four farms. Some of the participants include French Quarter Café, Napa Woodfired Pizza, Tapas 177, Otto Tomotto’s, Rohrbach Brewing Company, Custom BrewCrafters, Ventosa Vineyards, Moonlight Creamery, F. Oliver’s Oils and Vinegars, From Scratch Cakery, Joe Bean Coffee Roasters, and Freshwise Farms.

How do you like them apples? [ CHOW HOUND ] BY SUSIE HUME
After obtaining a culinary arts degree from SUNY Delhi in the Catskills and spending years as a chef in some of Rochester’s best restaurants — including the Grill at Water Street, Sienna Grill and Bar, and Eros — Spencerport High School graduate Christopher Kisiel returned to his hometown and opened his first restaurant earlier this month. As a self-described “sometimes delinquent student,” Kisiel has named his restaurant Bad Apples Bistro as a joking attempt to prove that “even a bad apple can make a great dish.” And that he does. Acting as both owner and executive chef of Bad Apples, Kisiel has filled the bistro’s menu with sophisticated yet accessible dishes with interesting flourishes. For instance, while many restaurants serve fresh-baked bread before a meal, Kisiel takes it a step further by serving a rotating selection of breads baked in-house along with a trio of homemade dips, which also rotate. A recent night’s offerings were a rosemary sage focaccia served with chive butter, extra virgin olive oil balsamic, and white bean hummus. “I would say we offer higher-end cuisine for the area,” says Kisiel. “But I don’t like to use the expression ‘high end’ because it sounds pretentious or expensive — which we’re not — so I say ‘refined.’”
Situated in the former Chilango’s Mexican Restaurant space in Spencerport (Chilango’s is now located next door), Bad Apples Bistro is cozy, offering seating for 50 people with a large banquette running down one wall and several tables sprinkled throughout the dining area. Kisiel has completely rehabbed the space by removing a large dividing wall to open up the space, reducing the size of the bar and creating a modern-yet-rustic atmosphere with exposed woods, rubbed bronze, and greenapple-colored accent walls. The seasonally rotating lunch and dinner menus offer a handful of soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps, appetizers, and entrees. Some of the more noteworthy offerings for fall include fried risotto croquettes stuffed with prosciutto and fontina cheese and served with housemade marinara and shaved romano; a maché salad served with new potatoes, crème fraiche, mixed olives, feta cheese, and a smoked-tomato vinaigrette; a grilled pork tenderloin served with Brussels sprouts, a green apple and red potato hash, and finished with a wild mushroom and black truffle bordelaise; a surf and turf of a 5 oz. lobster tail and braised pork shoulder served with apple slaw, roasted beet risotto, and chive butter; and a sweet potato gnocchi with roasted chestnuts and braised kale in a sage butter sauce. Bad Apples Bistro is located at 42 Nichols St. in the Village Woods Commons plaza in
Spencerport. Prices range from $7 to $25. Hours are Mondays-Thursdays 11 a.m.-10 p.m., Fridays 11 a.m.-11 p.m., and Saturdays 4-11 p.m. For more information call 3522231 or visit badapplesbistro.com.
It’s elemental
A new neighborhood bar and grill has opened in the former Irondequoit Ale House location. Copper Grill, which opened its door in early August, is owned by Jeff and Serena Barry of Greece and offers a wide variety of foods — from pub grub to burgers, pizzas, barbeque, steaks, and pastas — in a family-friendly sports bar atmosphere. Some of the menu’s offerings include a Cubano sandwich (with ham, pulled pork, pickles, and Swiss cheese topped with meat sauce), ancho-encrusted Chilean sea bass (served over caramelized bacon and fennel risotto), applewood pork (center-cut pork medallions wrapped in bacon, served with sweet-potato mash, and an apple cider demiglace), and a New Orleans burger (seasoned with Cajun spices and topped with tasso ham and pepperjack cheese). Copper Grill is located at 2256 Hudson Ave. Prices range from $8 to $20. Hours are Mondays-Saturdays 11:30 a.m.-2 a.m., Saturdays noon-2 a.m. For more information call 270-4466 or visit coppergrill.org.
Tickets for the Foodlink Festival of Food cost $40 in advance or $50 at the door; they can be purchased at Wegmans ticket counters, the Rochester Public Market (280 North Union St), or online at festivaloffood.org.
Down on the corner
National franchise Corner Bakery Café opened its first location in the Rochester area last month in the Pittsford Place Mall. The chain is known for its pastries, breads, breakfast dishes, gourmet sandwiches, and salads, served in a casual environment. Some of its signature dishes include the Asian wonton salad (with roasted chicken, edamame, cilantro, crispy wontons, napa cabbage, and ginger soy dressing), the Anaheim scrambler (eggs scrambled with applewood-smoked bacon, tomatoes, green onions, cheddar cheese, and topped with avocado), chilled Swiss oatmeal (European muesli made with rolled oats, fresh green apples, bananas, currants, dried cranberries, low-fat yogurt, and skim milk) and a Reuben panini (lean corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing). Corner Bakery Café is located at 3300 Monroe Ave. Prices range from $4 to $8. It is open Mondays-Thursdays 6 a.m.-9 p.m., Fridays-Saturdays 6 a.m.-10 p.m., and Sundays 7 a.m.-8 p.m. For more information call 662-5684 or visit cornerbakerycafe.com.

Xiu Xiu
Saturday, September 17 Dub Land Underground, 315 Alexander St. 10 p.m. | $12 | 232-7550 [ Alternative ] Since 2002, Xiu Xiu (pronounced
“shoo shoo”) has created the sort of experimental music that is hard to define, but that you could expect to hear as a score for some avant-garde film or perhaps as background music during your visit to an alternative art gallery. The band has taken the road less traveled with complex musical arrangements, pushing boundaries with difficult lyrical themes and controversial videos, but has still managed to hit mainstream audiences with some excellent songs like “Save Me Save Me.” With Kindest Lines and Hedgehog. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR
Reading Rainbow Friday, September 16 Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. 8 p.m. | $10 | 454-2966, bugjar.com [ ALTERNATIVE ] Philadelphia’s Reading Rainbow might
share its name with a certain children’s program that advocated reading, but the band’s hazy, reverb-drenched pop is anything but childish. Lead singer Sarah Everton, along with partner Rob Garcia, are nothing if not prolific; they’ve released five 7” singles over the past two years to go along with a pair of full-length albums. And while their moniker invokes the type of 80’s nostalgia that’s currently en vogue, their music hearkens back further, to the sunnier 60’s — albeit with a bit less of the sheen. Eternal Summers, Ben Morey & the Wallpaper Singers, and Josh Netsky Band open. — BY ANDY KLINGENBERGER

Might Be Giants is recognizable, most people have had the occasion to come across the band’s music in one manner or another. Giants has existed for nearly 30 years, and in that time its members have created memorable hits in alternative realms, as well as in children’s music. Whether it’s the theme song to “Malcolm in the Middle,” or something from the band’s certified platinum album “Flood,” They Might Be Giants’ unique, smart, and memorable style will ring some bells.

Rosanne Cash Friday, September 16 Harro East Ballroom, 155 N. Chestnut St. 8 p.m. | $45 | dansmallspresents.com [ COUNTRY ] In 1973 Rosanne Cash was on tour with
her father, the legendary Johnny Cash, when it became apparent to her dad that there were some gaps in his daughter’s musical education. There were a number of seminal country artists and songs that the younger Cash didn’t know. Johnny sat down and wrote her a list. That list — and the 100 gems on it — is what has inspired Rosanne’s most recent album, “The List.” Music by cats like Hank Cochran, Harlan Howard, Bob Dylan, as well as songs lurking in public domain, get her plaintive and pretty treatment with dashes of folk (and her dad). . — BY FRANK DE BLASE

[ REVIEW ] BY DAVID YOCKEL JR.
The end of summer signals the school bell for thousands on the RIT campus, and The Filthy McNastys came to Lovin’ Cup on Friday, September 9, prepared to hand out a lesson plan of its own. This blue-collar blues band has been bringing the heat to Rochester radio recently, and its groove-heavy Southern rock with an attitude is getting some play. The Filthy McNastys employ gritty, original blues and a passion rooted in raw, human emotion. Lead singer Jackson McNasty’s intoxicating melodies suggest vocal chords that have been seasoned with just the right amount of whiskey. He runs through narratives laced with a slippery, rugged attraction while a motley crew of musicians superbly support him. Bassist Tom O’Neill emits the air of an art-school nerd and percussionist Bryan “Vurn” Veneron looks more like a bouncer than a bongo player, but both add useful layers to the McNastys’ dirty drinking music. Lead guitarist Gregg Cole resembles a husky beat poet that happens to have string skills Ace Frehley and Derek Trucks could admire. Jophus McNasty holds down the rhythm on a Fender with a wily wisdom and young drummer Ryan O’Loughlin — who has been gigging since the age of 14 — holds the beat down nicely, showing he hasn’t absorbed as many bumps and bruises as the rest of the McNastys.
Opener “Honey on Tap” was a fastpaced blues rocker that would have been perfect to set off any Mardi Gras party. “Anna Jones” proved that the band can catch a funk when it wants to; it was a smoky improvisational jam that eventually turned into a compositional gem. The next couple of tracks began as slow, soulful grooves whose transitions were as thick as gravy-covered biscuits. Throughout the night the axe wielders showed they can play at all strengths and scents. Some of the runs take them close to sounding like a grunge band mixed with a bottle of Jack Daniels. The band’s huge banner, in addition to Jackson’s introduction of every song, cements the fact that The McNastys know how to market themselves. And the band has a sellable product. “Last Stand,” a track off of its debut album, was full of chugging, hard-driving progressions, and provided an interesting juxtaposition to the slew of kneeslapping, drinking songs. The band played some new songs with a fresh, folkie vibe from an as-of-yet-untitled upcoming release around a really clean cover of Tom Waits’ “Jockey Full of Bourbon.” All in all, The Filthy McNastys have carved a place in the Rochester music scene with its raucous, yet reasonably radio-friendly deep-country rock.

Polar Bear Club got its start in Rochester, and recently recorded a live acoustic album at Montage. PHOTO PROVIDED
Enigmatic cool Polar Bear Club myspace.com/polarbearclub [ PROFILE ] BY WILLIE CLARK
Many bands try to work for that perfect goal of marketability: a defined sound, a defined style, and defined licks. Music that people expect, easily squished into some category or another. Not so for Rochester’s Polar Bear Club, which intentionally shoots for ambiguity. The band plays what it wants to play, sounds how it wants to sound, and hopes that listeners are able to meet it halfway and fill in the rest. Even its name aims for the mysterious plane somewhere between the unknown and malleable. “It didn’t sound like any other band name we’d heard before,” says vocalist Jimmy Stadt. “We could make it its own thing. We were going to decide and build what Polar Bear Club was going to mean to people without it already sounding like any certain type of band name.” And, no, none of the band members have ever joined a cold-water diving club. Polar Bear Club got together in 2005, the majority of its members already established in the Rochester music scene. Members shuffled a bit over the years, with the lineup now including Tyler Mahurin on drums, 12 City SEPTEMBER 14-20, 2011
Nate Morris( former member of Marathon) and Chris Browne (formerly of Achilles and Tamiroff) on guitar, Erik “Goose” Henning on bass, and Stadt (the Disster, the Avram, Tamiroff) on vocals. Back then, the band was only part time, touring on weekends and summers when members could make schedules work. Stadt had finished his degree in acting from SUNY Fredonia before moving to Rochester to work for RG&E as the band continued to fall into place. The band went full-time in 2008, releasing its first full length album and going out on even fuller tours with acts like Gaslight Anthem and Frank Turner. A stint on 2010’s Vans Warped Tour soon followed, keeping the band on the road a pavement-friendly nine or so months out of the year. The band recently released its third full
length, “Clash Battle Guilt Pride,” on September 13 via Bridge Nine Records. But to the band, it really seems like it started playing together only yesterday. “I guess I never really thought too much about where we would be in five years. Now that’s it’s here…it feels like five days. The last couple of years have just flown by,” Stadt says. For “Clash Battle Guilt Pride” the band went into the studio after two weeks of preproduction, with 14 songs all ready to go,
a first for the group. This allowed it to take more risks and experiment, but also to not feel the under the gun. The band was ready to go by the time it ever stepped foot in the studio, bringing demos and more songs than ever before. The result is “the most cohesive album we’ve made to date,” Stadt says. As for the album title, the band stuck with its theme of having the music define itself. “It doesn’t sound like it’s going to be a specific type of record, and that was important to us. Because now, it can grow into its own thing,” Stadt says. But, if everything is so indescribable, so unable to pinpoint into one word, how would Stadt describe the Polar Bear Club sound? “I would just say it’s rock. Just sort of alternative rock. And I would let [the listener] fill in all the other gaps. I hate the labeling of our band. There are elements of punk and hardcore in our band, but that’s not all we are… I would label it as plainly as I could, and let everyone fill in the gaps as they saw fit.” And while Stadt has moved from Rochester, the band hasn’t forgotten its local roots. PBC recorded a live acoustic set at Montage Music Hall earlier this year, which was offered as a bonus 7” for preordering the new record, with a complete release for the recording being discussed. The idea behind the acoustic project: conquer another medium that once scared the crap out of the band. The band, which frequently had been asked to do acoustic sets in stores, almost always turned the opportunities down, since it wasn’t used to performing acoustically. And for Polar Bear Club, the best way to get over it was to go out and do an hour-long set and record it. “I love it, I’m really glad we did it. We never really practiced it before, and I think that was a big part of why were we so uncomfortable with it…acoustically you’re really vulnerable up there in that setting. And I think that we’ll never do anything more nerve wracking than that, and everything else sort of doesn’t seem so scary anymore. We wanted to push ourselves a little bit,” Stadt says. The band, hitting six years together, keeps
pushing itself to wherever its seemingly indescribable mash-up of styles will take it. Even its members aren’t exactly sure where that will ultimately be or where they originally hoped it would be. “I think really, and even to this day, we’re such a day-by-day set of people. Really a gowith-the-flow type of band, that I don’t know if we ever thought too much about our future. I think loosely our goal was to never be treading water, to never not be moving forward. And I think we’ve achieved that, and still achieving that with a lot of room to go. So in terms of that I guess we’re right on track,” Stadt says.

ALT-COUNTRY | Carbon Leaf
Jazz at Immanuel
The ebb and flow of a 20-year career in music brings Richmond rockers Carbon Leaf to Rochester on Thursday. These Southern boys concoct their own sophisticated brand of country rock with an alternative sensibility, and throw in some Celtic flair and bluegrass stompability for good measure. The band recently released a three-disc live album chronicling its historic, high-energy performances. Chamberlin, Vermont folkies with an independent mentality, opens the show.

Rock | Buckcherry
You can certainly hear elements of Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, and AC/DC within the confines of Buckcherry’s guitar-driven, modern hard-rock sound. The party-starting Los Angelenos have won over legions of fans with their swagger since the late 90’s and are co-headlining this summer’s Rock Allegiance tour with fellow Californians Papa Roach. Consider this show to be a celebration of turn-of-the-millennium American music, back when our country had the world by the nuts. As part of the Genesee Brewery’s Rock the Cans concert series, you know there’s going to be beer, and Zweigle’s is bringing the hot dogs. Puddle of Mudd, P.O.D., Red, Crossfade, and Drive A complete the line-up.

JAZZ/CLASSICAL | Guitars in the Round
Bob Sneider has held his own with the top names in jazz, from Wynton Marsalis to Chuck Mangione. Kinloch Nelson has delighted audiences with his breathtaking finger-style repertoire and his unusual tunings. And Petar Kodzas has employed his dazzling technical skills on a wide range of compositions from early music to jazz. Guitarist extraordinaire is a term that could be applied to every one of them. When they get together for a rare “Guitars in the Round” performance at SUNY Brockport’s Tower Fine Arts Center, each should propel the others to greater heights. Guitars in the Round takes place Friday, September 16, 7:30 p.m. at Tower Fine Arts Center, 180 Holley St., Brockport. $8-$15. 395-2797, brockport.edu/finearts. — BY RON NETSKY [ Jazz ] East End Jazz Boys.

ALT-COUNTRY | O’ Death
Brooklyn-based Americana act O’ Death met while attending SUNY Purchase in 2003, and since then has toured relentlessly, spreading its infectious, alternative take on country stylings. The band combines elements of folk and bluegrass with a punky-metallic sheen into what some people identify as a strain of “gothic Americana” — a sound that places components of minimalism behind a narrative focused on a rural existence, death, and religion. O’ Death has seen its success on differing record labels, but has returned to Ernest Jenning, the New York company that originally signed the band, for its latest effort, “Outside.” The grand theatrical presence of Seth Faergolzia — known for his one-man-band-skills and propensity for puppets — also performs. It should be an interesting musical experience filled with harmonic subtlety, a weird, quirky energy, and absolutely limitless creativity.

Reading the leaves “Tea at Five” Through September 24 Blackfriars Theatre, 795 E. Main St. $27, 454-1260, bftix.com [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK
I had a unique experience with Katharine Hepburn. Years ago at college I was hired to catalogue the personal collection of an entertainment journalist, including all of his interview notes and recordings. One tape was labeled “Katharine Hepburn.” I popped it in and listened. The reporter explained that he had a long-distance phone conversation scheduled with Hepburn. The phone rang, and the actress’s distinctive quavering voice picked up the phone, furious. Apparently someone involved got the time zones mixed up, the reporter had called her in the middle of the night, and Katharine Hepburn was…not…having…it. She bawled the journalist out, then hung up. On the tape you could hear the strain in the writer’s voice as he made his second call attempt, this one answered on the other line by a low, guttural growl and a quick hang-up. The reporter was audibly fretting before he made his third attempt, confused about the time difference and panicking over deadlines, and this time after the phone rang and rang and rang. It was finally picked up, and immediately hung up. I don’t think he ever got that interview. I learned three things from that tape. 1) When it comes to phone interviews, make sure you’ve got your time zones straight. 2) Katharine Hepburn did not suffer fools. 3) Katharine Hepburn was kind of awesome. Those last two points are further evidenced by “Tea at Five,” Matthew Lombardo’s biographical play about Hepburn, currently on stage at Blackfriars. The one-woman show stars Jill Rittinger as the actress seeking refuge at her family’s Connecticut beach house at two very different points in her career. The first act sees Hepburn grappling with her rapidly fading film career after being labeled “box office poison” in the 1930’s, desperate to land the lead in “Gone With the Wind” and launch her big comeback. The second act jumps to the 1980’s or 90’s, post-“On Golden Pond” era, as Hepburn reflects on her personal life, including her complicated long-term relationship with Spencer Tracy. This is at least the third time Blackfriars has
staged “Tea at Five” in the past five years, always with Rittinger in the role of Hepburn. It’s easy to understand why. Rittinger is, 18 City september 14-20, 2011
Jill Rittinger as Katharine Hepburn in “Tea at Five.” PHOTO PROVIDED
frankly, more conventionally beautiful than Hepburn ever was, but she fully embodies the borderline androgynous physicality and irrepressible spirit that made Hepburn a true original. The balled fist on the hip, the cocked leg and upturned chin, the legs sprawled out as she sits without the slightest care as to what is or is not ladylike: Rittinger nails Hepburn’s coltish energy. The spot-on costumes by John Haldoupis — high-waisted, wide-legged pants and flowy top in the first act; white turtleneck and wrapped sweater in the second — help to cement the comparison. Hepburn’s accent is tough to master, and can easily fall into caricature. Rittinger gets it almost all right in the first act, but occasionally falls into something approaching a Southern drawl in some of the show’s quieter moments. She never falters in the second act, where Hepburn’s speech is substantially altered due to her tremor. One of the most remarkable things about this one-woman show is that it doesn’t really feel like a one-woman show. That’s partially due to Lombardo’s script, which zooms from Hepburn’s Hollywood insider tales to recollections about her fascinating personal life, punctuated by the occasional phone call or unseen visitor at the door. It’s also a testament to Haldoupis’s brisk direction, and especially Rittinger’s relentless command of the stage. There isn’t a single second that she lets go of the audience (she wasn’t even phased by the three cell phones that went off during the performance I attended), moving right along, concentration unbroken. It’s clear that Rittinger and Haldoupis did a tremendous amount of research for this show, and the reverence for Hepburn and her unique place in the pantheon of Hollywood’s leading ladies is apparent. Any fan of Hepburn or her work should find the show enlightening. The biographical details — especially the complicated and tragic family history — shed new light on her legendary performances and storied career.

NOTA Fest 2011 NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE ARTS
Friday – Sunday Sept. 23rd - 25th
Besides being a great source to score some regional produce, fine cheese, and mingle with your community over a coffee, the Public Market boasts a thriving flea market series and a summer full of Bands on the Bricks concerts and night markets. And once a year, a festival is held to feature some of our local emerging artists. The 7th Annual Artist Row will be held at the Public Market (280 N. Union St.) on Sunday, September 18, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and will include artist vendors, musical performances, and market food. New this year is the YMCA Children’s Chalk Zone, in which the YMCA will organize and supervise a kids’ creative area with sidewalk chalk drawing, kid billboard creations, creative music area, awards, prizes, kids’ music, and fun. The juried show will feature more than 180 local artists and artisans, some of whom will be presented with category-specific awards. Pictured is super multitalented artist Mary Lewandowski congratulating her hand-crafted pets as they receive Honorable Mention for Mixed Media at Artist Row 2010. Admission and parking are free. For more information, email marketfriends@rochester.rr.com or visit marketfriends.org. If you’d like some pre-Artist Row autumnal fun, join Zombies Care Sunday for its annual family-friendly Zombie Walk. Meet at the Hungerford Building (1115 E. Main St., Door 2) for zombie make-up, cider, and donuts at 10 a.m. At about 11 a.m., once everyone is necrotically decked out, the group will shake, shamble, and stroll down to check out Artist Row, blowing bubbles along the way. The cost to participate is a donated toiletry, to benefit local charity Sample Soap.

FESTIVAL | Greentopia Festival
It’s almost time for the leaves to start changing colors, but organizers of Rochester’s new Greentopia Festival are still thinking green. The event will take over the High Falls district Saturday and Sunday, September 17-18, to promote an eco-friendly lifestyle. Learn more about thinking green, living green, and saving green by attending workshops, indulging in organic foods, beers, and wines, shopping more than 100 eco-friendly vendors, and other activities. The festival will be the first large-scale green festival held in Rochester. While a large festival is typically on the opposite end of the spectrum from being green, Greentopia vows to be different. All festival waste that can be recycled or composted will be, exhibits and displays will be designed with reuse in mind, and incentives will be given for green ideas and acts. Admission to Greentopia is free, and the event runs 10 a.m.-6 p.m. For more information about the festival visit greentopiafestival.com. —BY ERIC LACLAIR Fairport. 223-9091. 7-9 p.m. Free. 9/14: History of Opera: Origins to the Golden Age, Art Axelrod; 9/21: Twentieth Century Opera (It’s better than you think), Carol Crocca.

This Week’s Health Tip from MVP Health Care
One cup of strawberries contains over 100 mg of vitamin C, almost as much as a cup of orange juice. We need vitamin C for immune system function and for strong connective tissue.

THEATER | “The Lady with All the Answers”
Twin-sister advice mavens Ann Landers and Abigail Van Buren (a.k.a. “Dear Abby”) were known for their columns, which for almost half a century counseled people with queries regarding love and sexuality, racism and religion, and even the proper etiquette for hanging a roll of toilet paper. Landers’ nononsense, taboo-tackling column is explored in David Rambo’s comedy “The Lady with All the Answers,” currently at the Jewish Community Center CenterStage (1200 Edgewood Ave.) through September 25. Landers, the author of “Ask Ann Landers,” which was translated into more than 20 languages and ran in more than 1000 newspapers around the world, devoted many columns to de-mystifying taboo topics such as cancer, sexuality, drugs, abortion, and mental health, as well as fighting injustices. But nobody’s perfect: notable mistakes in Landers’ career include her belief that homosexuality was a sickness (she eventually reversed this claim) and her advice not to throw rice at weddings, as birds that ingested it would explode. Drawn from Landers’ life and letters, the play dramatizes one life-changing night in 1975, as Landers revisits memorable, humorous, and touching letters while preparing to write “the most important column of her career.” Landers will be played by local actress Susan Hopkins, and the show is directed by JCC Artistic Director Ralph Meranto. Performances continue this week on Thursday, September 15, at 7 p.m., Saturday, September 17, at 8 p.m., and Sunday, September 18, at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $18-$26.

Sick, sick, sick [ REVIEW ] by George Grella
“Contagion” (PG-13), directed by Steven Soderbergh Now playing
Over the span of several decades the motionpicture industry has flooded the theaters with disaster flicks of all kinds, a trend that exploded around the turn of the century, when the calendar inspired many stories of global destruction. All those Armageddon addicts anticipated the End Times, the Last Days, the Rapture, etc. with a mixture of anxiety and delight, emotions that perfectly suit the intentions of filmmakers. Even the

ridiculous fears over the Y2K phenomenon — remember that fizzle? — spawned by computer experts, fed the hunger for stories about the end of the world, or at least those portions of it we can see on film. Most of the disaster flicks focus on some grand physical event that lends itself to the sort of magic that defines contemporary cinema: earthquakes, tidal waves, planetary collisions, and of course our old friends, alien invasions and thermonuclear war. Steven Soderbergh’s new movie, “Contagion,” takes on an essentially invisible and therefore ostensibly uncinematic subject, a disease. His film deals with a deadly influenza virus that spreads and kills with amazing rapidity, threatening whole populations around the world. The movie begins enigmatically, with the title “Day 2” appearing over a scene showing a woman (Gwyneth Paltrow) in a bar in the Chicago airport, talking on the phone to a former lover with whom she has spent the afternoon while on a layover between flights from

Hong Kong back to her home in Minneapolis. While talking she coughs all over the counter, the peanuts, the bill, her credit card, etc., which, the movie later shows, initiates the long, perilous chain of infection in the United States. The disease Paltrow brings with her from Hong Kong quickly proves fatal to her and her young son, devastating her husband Mitch (Matt Damon) whom the medical authorities quarantine as soon as they discover the speed and strength of the virus, which actually kills any cells it attacks and inhabits. Although Mitch turns out to be immune, the scientists cannot even use his blood to manufacture a vaccine, but must follow a long and difficult procedure of trial and error to come up with a solution. The picture jumps swiftly all over the world, showing the spread of the disease through many countries by means of an almost infinite variety of contacts, not only person to person, but through touching the myriads of objects we all handle in common every day. A bartender polishes a glass, for example, then passes the infection on to a waiter who touches it, and he in turn transmits it to others in the bus he rides home on through contact with seat backs, stanchions, doorknobs, etc. As in a horror film, the cameras in “Contagion” focus on the humblest objects, investing everything with danger and the possibility of doom. The rapid jumps in location, accompanied by titles that number the passing days of the
Katz is best known for his 28 years as artistic director at the Jewish Community Center, where he introduced the CenterStage season and opened up acting opportunities for the community at large. He has also performed in such companies as Shipping Dock (“The Normal Heart,” “Only Kidding,” “Glengarry Glen Ross”) and Blackfriars Theatre (“Chicago,” “Sunday in the Park with George,” and “Cinderella,” in which he notably played one of the stepsisters). Katz was also one of the founders of the Break a Leg theater event, the Reel Mind Film Series, and the Wilmer J. Patlow Playreading Series. “I think we have a very special theater community here, and I hope that people continue to support it,” Katz says. Special thanks to Break a Leg for allowing City Newspaper to announce the Rochester Theater Hall of Fame inductions at its event.

infection and the geometric speed of its diffusion provide a special tension to the plot. Scientists from the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization work desperately to pinpoint the origin of the disease, contain its spread, and find a vaccine. The numbering of the days, the various laboratories and meeting rooms around the world, the authentic settings on several continents, the sheer quantity of factual information that the various scientists deal with and communicate to laymen emphasize the documentary nature of the film. Appropriately for that documentary quality, few people in the cast of top stars dominate the action in any way; instead, they all participate as equals in the plot, which boasts nothing like a single protagonist. Some occupy more screen time than others — Laurence Fishburne as a scientist with the Centers for Disease Control, Kate Winslet as his assistant, Marion Cotillard as a physician with the World Health Organization — but most, including Matt Damon and Gwyneth Paltrow, take supporting roles. Soderbergh’s architecture, his constant movement from place to place, his skillful deployment of that well known cast, his honest and rigorously unsensational approach all endow “Contagion” with a good deal of conviction. The picture adheres closely to a reality that seems entirely possible, not a Hollywood fantasy, but a reflection of an entirely acceptable and terrifying possibility.
Perhaps more than any other genre, music documentaries are the no-brainer of modern cinema. The film’s subject always provides a fan base that is as established as it is passionate, and the story is the universal one of rags-toriches, typically rooted in a longstanding kinship between like-minded souls whose shared creative drive propelled them to stardom. Mostly, though, there is the honest drama that can ensue when art collides with commerce and ego; what was a lark soon becomes an industry, and you know what they say about doing business with friends. So in the vein of “Anvil!” and “Some Kind of Monster” comes “Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest,” an absorbing, warts-and-all love letter that

recounts the still-evolving tale of one of hip-hop’s trailblazers. When we first drop in on ATCQ, though, nothing is in harmony; it’s the Seattle stop on the 2008 Rock the Bells tour, and the tension among the recently reunited crew is palpable. Fortunately, we’re quickly whisked back to happier times, as founding members, co-frontmen, and old friends Q-Tip and Phife Dawg reminisce separately about the humble beginnings of ATCQ, growing up in mid-80’s Queens under the thrall of neighborhood heroes Run-DMC and LL Cool J. Despite origins that are much the same, however, the two men couldn’t be more different. While Phife is an amiable, sports-freak Everyman, rendered very human by his high-pitched voice, small stature, and a serious diabetic condition, Tip is a rock star: sexy, articulate, wary, maybe even a bit calculating. And for a brief, game-changing period in the early 90’s, that stabilizing yin-yang worked; ATCQ — which also features DJ Ali Shaheed Muhammad and part-timer Jarobi White — enjoyed both success and acclaim, the funky jazz sampling and sunny, Afro-centric vibe of a disc like “People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm” contrasting with the more aggressive postures of contemporaries such as NWA and Public Enemy. “Beats, Rhymes & Life” offers interviews with peers like De La Soul and Beastie Boys as well as students like Common and Pharrell Williams that bear witness to both the ingenuity and enduring legacy of ATCQ. But only Tip, Phife, Ali, and Jarobi are able to provide true insight about the miscommunication and resentment that led to their breakup in 1998, and director Michael Rapaport skillfully manages the four distinct points of view without agenda. Uh, yeah, THAT Michael Rapaport, the busy B-list character actor perhaps best known as Brad Pitt’s idiot roommate in “True Romance.” It’s slightly jarring to hear his instantly recognizable Noo Yawk
monotone braying from behind the camera, but Rapaport has crafted a pretty nifty filmmaking debut, weaving recollections throughout cool archival footage and photographs that capture perfectly the genesis of alternative hip-hop, a nearly forgotten time of Day-Glo dashikis and musical unity. Mostly, though, “Beats, Rhymes & Life” is about the affectionate but fractured brotherhood between Tip and Phife; the former tweeted his displeasure with the film, which can’t help but skew sympathetic toward the latter, whose health problems have directly affected ATCQ’s story. But the stubborn Phife hardly comes off as a blameless angel, and Rapaport’s cautiously hopeful conclusion suggests that their story doesn’t end with the film. Back in the late 90’s two movies were
made about the life of Steve Prefontaine, a preternaturally gifted long-distance runner who died in 1975 at the age of 24. One starred Jared Leto; I’ve never seen it. But the other is one of my all-time favorites. “Without Limits,” for better or for worse, is a sports flick, and director Robert Towne (he wrote “Chinatown”) does nothing to reinvent that wheel. What makes “Without Limits” so damn special is the superb duet between the central pair. Billy Crudup plays Pre — our ostensible hero — as an arrogant prodigy, so cocksure that we want to see him humbled almost as badly as we want to see him realize his potential. And, in one of Hollywood’s great unsung performances, Donald Sutherland co-stars as Bill Bowerman, Pre’s coach at Oregon, whose insistence on cobbling shoes for his runners birthed one of the planet’s iconic brands. The philosophical skirmishes that ensue as Bowerman tries to change someone who rails against doing so is the entertaining heart of the film, and what would be a parade of clichés in lesser hands is instead elegant metaphor for what Bowerman calls “that other absurd pastime... life.”

A Towering Treasure
21 Rowley Street
Everybody loves Park Avenue. With its eclectic restaurants, boutiques, and vibrant summer
the fully-fenced shady courtyard. A fountain, trees, and shrubs make this a private, relaxing
festival, it’s easy to see why, for decades, it has been one of Rochester’s favorite neighborhoods. Adding to its charm, the streets off Park Avenue are lined with beautiful 19th century houses such as the brick Queen Anne style house at 21 Rowley Street—certainly one of the crown jewels of the neighborhood.
outdoor space. Back inside, a large modern kitchen with oak cabinetry, breakfast bar, and loads of counter space anchors the back of the house. A side hallway with more exposed brick and stained-glass windows leads to a modern bath and storage. The master bedroom completes the first floor.
Situated on a corner lot, the well-landscaped yard at 21 Rowley is enhanced with shade trees, summer blooming perennials planted in stone-walled raised beds, and colorful flowering shrubs that line the front walk. Built in 1880, the exterior of the house has impressive architectural details such as decorative trim that surrounds the windows, dentil moldings at the roofline, and a wraparound front porch. But the pièce de résistance is the circular tower that anchors the front of the house. The tower’s unusual curved front doors, flanked by tall lanterns, welcome you into this historic home.
The second floor is now a functioning twobedroom apartment. But if the house were returned to its original single-family status, the second floor has space for three to four bedrooms. Another stairway leads to the third floor attic that provides additional storage space as well as interesting possibilities for future development of the sunny third floor of the tower.
The interior is as impressive as the exterior. The two-and-a-half story tower serves as the grand foyer complete with a dramatic winding staircase and elegant chandelier. All the rooms on the first floor are spacious and have oak floors and crown moldings. Original fireplaces grace the octagon-shaped living room and adjoining home office. Beyond the living room is the dining room, which features an exposed brick wall and two sets of lovely French doors opening to a deck that overlooks
The house is in the Rochester City School District and several houses of worship are located nearby. The Park Avenue Neighborhood has many active neighborhood associations such as the Park Avenue Neighborhood Coalition, South East Area Coalition, and the Park Avenue Merchants Association. This 2,685 square foot house is listed at $289,000.

Richard Handl, 31, was arrested in southern Sweden in July after a raid on his home. He had been trying for months to set up a nuclear reactor in his kitchen, but became alarmed when a brew of americium, tritium and beryllium created a nuclear meltdown on his stove. Only then, he said, did it occur to him to ask the country’s Radiation Authority if what he was doing was legal, and the subsequent police raid answered that question. No dangerous radiation level was detected, but Handl still faces fines and a maximum two-year prison sentence for unauthorized possession of nuclear materials.
The Entrepreneurial Society For the Self-Indulgent: (1) The fashion designer Chandrashekar Chawan recently created goldplated, diamond-studded contact lenses that make eyes “sparkle” (not always a good thing, admitted Chawan, citing reviews calling the look “cringeworthy” and “demonic”). According to an MSNBC report, the “bling” part never actually touches the cornea. (2) Among the trendiest avant-garde beauty treatments are facial applications made from snail mucus, according to a July report by London’s Daily Mail. South Korean glamour consultants were the first to use mollusk extract’s generous moisturizing properties, though a dermatologist warned (on NBC’s “Today” show) that no “controlled” studies have yet demonstrated snailgoo superiority.
Leading Economic Indicators — Augustin James Evangelista is only 4 years old, but he nevertheless has certain financial needs -which amount to about $46,000 a month, according to the childsupport request filed by his mother, “supermodel” Linda Evangelista. A Wall Street Journal reporter concluded that the figure is about right for rich kids in New York City, what with needing a driver, designer clothes, around-the-clock nannies and various personalized lessons. And soon, according to a consultantto-the-rich interviewed in August by the Journal, Augustin James will become even more expensive, as he graduates from his exclusive preschool and enters his exclusive kindergarten. — The highest-paid state government employee in budgetstrapped California in 2010 was among the least productive workers in the system, according to a Los Angeles Times investigation reported in July. Jeffrey Rohlfing is on the payroll as a surgeon in the state prison system (base pay: $235,740), but he has been barred from treating inmates for the last six years because supervisors believe him to be incompetent. Last year, Dr. Rohlfing earned an additional $541,000 in back pay after he successfully appealed his firing to the state’s apparently easily persuaded Personnel Board. Currently, Dr. Rohlfing is assigned records-keeping duties.
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 34 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aggressive pursuit of someone you meet will lead to a slowdown. You are better off biding your time and letting the object of your desire come to you. Acting coy will bring better results. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Greater opportunities to find love will surface through an old friend or one of your peers. Take part in any event that brings you in contact with people who work in your industry or reunites you with your past. Travel will also promote love and romance. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can have what and whom you
want momentarily if you are willing to pay the price. Don’t give in to someone who is only looking to get something from you. You are worth more than a one-night stand. CANCER (June 21-July 22): If someone wants to set you up on a blind date, accommodate him or her. You are likely to meet someone pretty neat through a friend, relative or neighbor. Being open to partners from different backgrounds will make you realize that you have more in common than you thought. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): An impulsive decision can lead to a secret
affair that will end in sorrow. You are better off flirting and having fun, instead of getting trapped in a promise with someone who isn’t likely to fulfill your dreams. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Opportunity knocks when it comes to affairs of the heart. Get out and have fun and, before you know it, someone will want to tie up all your time and will propose that you take a serious leap into the future together. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You cannot buy love, and you cannot allow yourself to be bought. Look at the person, not what the person has accumulated, and
you will end up with someone who shares more common beliefs and interests. Keep your feelings to yourself until you find the person with whom you want to spend a lifetime. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The people you meet and the conversations you have will lead to an interesting encounter with someone who grabs your attention. Don’t be afraid to be upfront about your intentions. You’ll know it’s the ideal partner for you if you are greeted with just as passionate a response. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are likely to jump into an
emotional situation that isn’t all that good for you. You’ll be fooled into thinking you are with someone who fits you like a glove, when it’s an impostor trying to be whatever it is you want. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t say “no” to love. You may have other responsibilities, but if you make time to build a solid relationship with someone who has caught your attention, you won’t be sorry. Opportunity to change your current living arrangements is apparent and will enhance your love life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Get serious before someone
you really care for gets away. Make a move to define what it is that you need and want when it comes to love and marriage, and you will find that you are closer to getting your way than you realize. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Getting involved in activities that allow you to show how skilled and creative you are will attract the attention of someone who complements you emotionally, mentally, financially and physically. Consider people from your past. You may have overlooked or underestimated someone with whom you have history.
