The Warren win

The entitled, “enfranchised” Rochester lost dismally; the “disenfranchised” “other” Rochester won this election.

Lovely talks the talk, Lovely walks the walk.

She had the message, she did the work.

She is best qualified to move Rochester forward as ONE! DAVID WALLING

It’s obvious that Lovely Warrens’ supporters were far more enthusiastic about their candidate than Tom Richards’ supporters were; his simply didn’t show up.

I think it is doubtful that Richards will continue on the Independence and Working Families lines, but stranger things have happened, and it would be one hell of a race.

I hope Alex White and the Green candidates for City Council and school board get a fair airing before the November election.

No candidates should be crowned victors before the votes are cast, as last week’s results certainly proved.

Lovely Warren and the reelected incumbents should face honest questions about their vision for Rochester.

The Greens do have an alternate vision, and Rochesterians are not without a choice come November, even if most people think it has already been made for them.

PATRICK CHASE

First, this is only the Democratic primary.

2 CITY

There are other voters to be heard from, including Independents like myself. I imagine Warren got a good fraction of her potential total supporters out on September 10.

To have her message on education taken seriously – in particular as an African American candidate running what appears to be an African-Americancentric campaign – and not even begin to acknowledge the giant issue driving the “failing” schools is striking.

That issue I see several days a week as a volunteer tutor, and that is unbelievably low commitment to education among many African-American students and their parents.

It was welcome news that a recent gathering of African-American ministers acknowledged this situation.

But where is Lovely Warren on this issue or any other critical look at the AfricanAmerican community?

TED CHRISTOPHER

I like Richards’ vision of investing in downtown and transitioning neighborhoods to compete for young professionals, empty nesters, and other people who are considering a return to urban living by choice. Upscale residential development admittedly predates Richards’ control, but Richards has increased momentum, is the only mayor who has made headway on fixing Main and Clinton, and has even garnered investment in neighborhoods outside of the southeast quadrant.

It’s perhaps a fair criticism to say that there are “two Rochesters” and that Richards seems focused mainly on one, but what’s wrong with wanting your city to be upwardly mobile? And have the other neighborhoods really been terribly neglected?

Richards has supported development wherever the market would invest and

SEPTEMBER 18-24, 2013

has done a reasonably good job of dealing with blight, e.g. replacing abandoned buildings with neighborhood peace gardens.

I do question whether Rochester police could potentially be more effectively managed, and not merely to be more sensitive, but rather to command more respect and particularly to be more proactive, especially in dealing with drug houses.

I get it that if a majority of residents in a particular neighborhood want to use hard drugs, eliminating those becomes a difficult proposition, but I don’t see why there’s so little apparent effort.

Finally, the GOP has admitted that they are not a viable party, at least in the city, and are nowhere to be found. I, for one, don’t miss them at all.

So we have three visible and viable candidates, each with a fair chance and each with a dramatically different personality and vision. The voters are not so dull as to be incapable of making a decision based upon individual qualifications rather than party label.

It’s time to forget the primaries and the party labels. Think of them as running under the labels Orange, Blue, and Purple if you wish, and focus on the candidates themselves.

LINCOLN DECOURSEY

SCOTT WAGNER

“What’s in a name? that which we call a Dem / by any other name would smell as sweet; / so Richards would, were he not Democrat call’d, / retain that dear perfection which he owes / without that title. Tom, doff thy name; / and for that name, which is no part of thee, / take all myself.”

I am not at all impressed with all of this handwringing.

For whatever reason, the Democratic Party voters who cared enough to show up at the polls chose Lovely Warren as their mayoral candidate.

It does not matter what the circumstances were – they showed up. So, Lovely Warren is the Democratic candidate, fair and square. Fine!

Tom Richards will have his name on the ballot twice – on the Independence and Working Families lines. So he is a doubly visible candidate with the incumbent’s credentials. Good!

Alex White is on the ballot on the Green Party line. Another perfectly legitimate candidate whose voice and opinions have been consistent and strong in our community for years. Excellent!

In the 16 years I’ve lived in Rochester, Mayor Tom Richards is the best thing that’s happened to this city.

Bill Johnson had great ideas and a big heart but didn’t know how to use power; Republican County Executive Jack Doyle mopped the floor with him.

Bob Duffy was the nicest guy with another big heart but was void of ideas.

Tom Richards, to my surprise, has abundant and clear ideas. He also gets things done because he’s a great manager and has important financial experience, two sine qua nons Lovely Warren lacks.

I’m sure the polls were correct: 63 percent to 27 percent for Richards, who campaigned hard but wasn’t street-smart at getting out the vote, like Warren was.

Come November, I hope Rochester’s appallingly complacent voters (barely 14,000 voted!) get off their lazy duffs and give Richards a second term.

Nazis and the Church

Anthony Sciolino says that “the Holocaust happened

because Christians failed to act like Christians” (“Unholy Alliance: The Catholic Church and the Holocaust”).

I submit that if someone does not act like a Christian, they are not, in truth, a Christian.

To say that one is a Christian and yet act contrary to the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth is not hypocrisy. It is a lie, and a very cruel one at that.

Talking the talk but not walking the walk? One can quack like a duck from now until doomsday, but it’s the walking, swimming, flying, and in general behaving like a duck that makes one a duck.

The same for the so-called Christians of this world, both throughout history and to this very day.

In the real world, people’s beliefs are revealed by their actions, not by what they say.

BILL GLASNER

Here we go again: now the Catholic Church is responsible for the Holocaust. If this is true, then why did the Holocaust happen in predominantly Protestant Germany and not in a Catholic France, Spain, or Poland?

Jonathan Steinberg in his biography of Bismarck reveals how anti-Semitism was institutionalized within every facet of German society and government by men like Martin Luther, Bismarck, Richard Wagner, and Gustav Freytag and waited only for the Great Depression to explode into the Holocaust.

I do agree that Pope Pius should have risked even his life to condemn the Nazis.

RAYMOND LIUTKUS

The Catholic Church often bears the cross of false accusations, and the most preposterous now come from within: a man ordained to the permanent diaconate.

Mr. Sciolino’s claims are rife with factual errors. continues on page 6

COMMENTARY | BY CITY NEWS STAFF

Theories and questions for a post-Richards race He’s still on the November ballot, on the Working Families and Independence lines, but Mayor Tom Richards ended his campaign for re-election on Tuesday, citing serious health issues of a family member.

Presumably if he had won last week’s Democratic primary, Richards would have continued to the general election, facing the Green Party’s Alex White. But he lost the primary to City Council President Lovely Warren, and running now against Warren and White would require a much more intense campaign. Richards said yesterday that the family member’s health problems had “recently evolved to the point where continuing my campaign is no longer appropriate.”

Speculation will continue about how we got to this stage: how, a much-publicized poll to the contrary, Warren won the primary so handily. Turnout was way down, and Richards supporters seem to assume he lost because voters thought he would win easily. But maybe voters simply didn’t care about the election.

Or maybe they like Richards but also found Warren’s message compelling. Maybe Warren’s “two Rochesters” message resonated with the white liberal Democrats living in the city’s southeast, where the turnout was especially low. Maybe a lot of them couldn’t make up their mind, decided they’d be happy with either one, and stayed home.

But frankly, it’s demeaning to Warren and her campaign to assume that she won because of something Tom Richards didn’t do. It’s more likely due to a lot of things Warren did better.

Now we can start thinking about November, so let’s pass on some questions we’ve been raising in our newsroom. We’re not writing off the Greens’ Alex White; we’ll have extensive coverage of him and other Green candidates next month. But Warren’s win brings some issues to the fore. For instance: 1) Who’ll be in her administration?

Richards has a strong, experienced group of top administrators (some, of course, appointed by his predecessor, Bob Duffy).

Warren may keep some or all of them. But given her disagreements with Richards in some key areas, she’s likely to assemble her own team. And she has also said that Richards’ top administrative group isn’t diverse enough.

2) What will be the effect on City Council? Council has a history of being a fairly cohesive group inclined to go along with the mayor – sometimes too much so. But a slim majority of Council sided with Richards in the primary campaign. Councilmembers say they’ll kiss and make up. That may be harder to

Richards’ withdrawal turns the focus to the changes ahead under a Warren or White administration – in schools and development. do if a majority strongly opposes some of Warren’s initiatives.

3) What’s ahead for Police Chief James Sheppard? During the primary campaign, Warren criticized the police department for its response to such things as calls about drug sales. She wants to expand the number of RPD sections to better serve the needs of individual neighborhoods. And she wants the police department to be more aggressive in dealing with drug sales.

4) What will be the effect on investment and development in the city – particularly downtown?

Many people in the Rochester business community have been strong supporters of Richards. Warren hasn’t opposed development. In fact, she wants to create a city Industrial Development Agency, to provide incentives for new development.

But her focus there is to increase the number of construction jobs that go to city residents, particularly minority residents.

And Warren says Richards has paid too much attention to downtown, and to large businesses, to the detriment of neighborhoods and small businesses. Will her election put a damper on the fragile growth in private investment downtown?

5) How much influence will State Assembly member David Gantt have in City Hall? Both Warren and Gantt have insisted continues on page 6

Fewer tests for city students

PLEX progress

City schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas and Rochester Teachers Association President Adam Urbanski have reached an agreement to lower the number of tests that teachers have to give to students. Many parents and teachers strongly oppose high-stakes testing. The agreement, which requires approval from the State Education Department, will alter the 40 percent of teachers’ annual performance reviews that are based on student scores on state and local exams. Many local assessment exams will be eliminated, leaving the required state exams, according to a letter Vargas sent to parents.

City of Rochester officials say that they want residents of the Plymouth-Exchange neighborhood to know that they haven’t forgotten about a large brownfield redevelopment project along the Genesee River.

In February, the city submitted an application to the state seeking additional funding for the Vacuum Oil Brownfield Opportunity Area. The funding would be used to help pay for investigation, clean up, and reuse of the 58acre site. The 24-acre Vacuum Oil site on Flint Street would be a particular focus of those efforts.

“We’re still very focused on the area,” Mark Gregor, the city’s manager of environmental quality, told residents at a PLEX neighborhood meeting last week.

The Vacuum Oil BOA includes publicly- and privately-owned properties along the Genesee River’s west bank between the Ford Street bridge and the former railroad bridge that connects to the University of Rochester’s campus, according to the city’s website.

The city has also applied for state funds to design and construct a natural play area to replace a playground on Exchange Street, said Kimberly Baptiste of

Bergmann Associates, the city’s consultant for the BOA. That application is passing through the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council and officials expect to get word about the grant in December. City officials will pursue additional grants for projects in the BOA, Baptiste said.

The City of Rochester and the PLEX neighborhood spent more than a year developing a master plan for the Vacuum Oil site and the surrounding community.

As the redevelopment effort progresses, the plan will result in as many as 17 projects, Gregor said.

Most people probably see organic waste like food scraps as a burden to be disposed of as quickly as possible.

But Cam Hebda, a sustainable systems graduate student at Rochester Institute of Technology, says he wants people to look at the materials in a different way. By throwing away organic waste and burying it in landfills, communities are missing out, he says, on the opportunity to turn the discards into higher-value products like compost or biofuels.

The organic materials aren’t really waste at all, Hebda says.

Hebda has started a research project aimed at getting decision-makers and communities to think about higher-value uses of organic wastes.

He says he wants to use his research, which is funded by the state Department of Environmental Conservation via the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute, to develop a policy brief for City of Rochester officials, decision-makers, and local waste industry officials.

“Hopefully, if something looks good, it’ll lead to business development that’s local,” Hebda says.

And he says he plans to look at the social and economic factors that influence choices at the personal and governmental levels regarding organic waste management.

Hebda has begun surveying city residents about organic wastes. He says he wants to

Hebda is analyzing the benefits and costs associated with different organic waste recycling options, including methane production through anaerobic digestion, ethanol production through fermentation, and commercial composting.

He says he’ll also examine the costs and benefits of directing the wastes to a landfill with a gas capture system. Many landfill operators harness the gas generated through waste decomposition and use it to generate electricity; Waste Management has landfill gas-to-energy operations at Mill Seat Landfill in Riga and High Acres Landfill in Perinton and Macedon.

Hebda also plans to study the greenhouse gas emissions of the organic waste management options he evaluates.

Rochester schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas says that managing ambiguity has become one of his biggest challenges. For example, Vargas says that he supports teacherled schools, where teachers and schools operate with as much autonomy as possible. But with greater autonomy with operations and programs comes greater accountability, he says. | “Teacher-led schools, in my definition, would mean maximum autonomy, maximum flexibility, and maximum accountability,” he says. “I won’t make the mistake of the past. I won’t agree to give them autonomy and not accountability.” | Accountability could take several different forms, Vargas says, including denial of tenure for teachers or principals. | Everyone says they’re in favor of accountability, Vargas says, until it happens. He says that when he tries to deny tenure, the resistance is fierce. | There’s no denying that the district has suffered from serious management problems.

But another thing is also clear: Gone are the days when educators are given the leeway or the benefit of the doubt because they work with people — and people have quirks. | Urban education, in particular, has rapidly pivoted to formulaic solutions. The ambiguity caused by issues like poverty, truancy, and low parental engagement may have unpredictable, but not excusable outcomes.

A post-Richards race

continues from page 2

Scarcely a corner of the globe has escaped the grave sin of anti-Semitism, but the Holocaust was caused by evil, not the Church. The Church’s holiness does not mean that each member is always holy. Jesus said there would be both good and bad in His Church; even St. Peter – the first Pope – denied Christ three times.

As with any relationship, Jews and Christians have encountered problems on both sides, but I’m amazed

by Mr. Sciolino’s claim that “the road [to the Holocaust] began 2,000 years ago” in the Church. The first Christians were faithful Jews who saw that Christ did not abolish the Law, but fulfilled it. Nowhere is Christianity’s proud Jewish heritage more evident than in Catholicism.

Mr. Sciolino commits historical “malpractice.”

Galileo was not the Church’s finest moment, but it wasn’t Galileo’s, either. Rather than propose his theory simply as a scientific matter, Galileo insisted that it be accepted as theological truth, though he could not prove it. The Church has long promoted science: for example, Copernicus dedicated his heliocentric theory to Pope Paul III. Pope Pius XII vocally opposed Nazism even before the war, as Cardinal Secretary of State. After his election, he continued Pope Pius XI’s defiance of the Nazis; these efforts often had to be secret, but they are well documented, including by many Jewish observers, of which Joseph Lichten and Rabbi Pinchas Lapide are just two examples.

Mr. Sciolino – not the Church – is on the “wrong side of history.” Fifty years after Vatican II, that Council has been definitively interpreted through the “hermeneutic of continuity,” 6 CITY

as Pope Benedict XVI beautifully noted.

Mr. Sciolino’s views are not about history, but his disagreement with Church teaching. Mr. Netsky should have asked why an institution so allegedly corrupt is still going strong after 2,000 years. The answer is that the Holy Spirit guides the Church to all Truth, despite the failings of some of her members and broader humanity. I pray that Deacon Sciolino will see that.

Dealing with Syria

To compare Assad’s probable use of sarin and mustard gas to the Nazi’s use of Zyklon B is inane (“Our Terrible Dilemma,” Urban Journal).

To do so is as irrational as attempting to compare the use of a pistol to the dropping of a hydrogen bomb.

And as to standing by, I may have missed it, but where was all this hand-ringing, angst, and less-than-subtle calls for US military intervention from City Newspaper when the Sudanese leadership was butchering their own citizens in Darfur? While the deaths of 400 children, or people of any age and number, by chemical warfare is reprehensible, it must be placed in perspective. As I recall, in Darfur a halfmillion people were killed by conventional weapons. But the calls for American and international intervention on moral grounds were muted. And debate was non-existent.

Perhaps had Darfur, like Syria, been in the Middle East and not in Africa, been the only significant crudeoil producing country in the Eastern Mediterranean region, contained sizable accessible reserves of oil and

SEPTEMBER 18-24, 2013

natural gas, and been sitting on top of major oil pipeline routes, there might have been more concern over that area’s fate.

MJN

Returned recently from Israel. Although always on military alert, Israel is currently enjoying a rather quiet time – other than the West Bank Palestinian clan, most Palestinians can and do now work in Israel, go to university, benefit from health care. Arab families are seen in the malls, on the trains, in the restaurants – i.e. enjoying life.

Thus it’s no surprise that the Israeli “man on the street” doesn’t want to hear about military action against Syria.

Whom do you think that Syria will retaliate against?

France? America? Of course not. They will simply send bombs Israel’s way, which they can do without even crossing a border, or sending a plane in the air.

Secretary Kerry has well stated the pit-of-thestomach sickness that one feel’s in hearing of chemical force anywhere. Dropping American bombs adds nothing but harm to Israel to this sick situation.

NEIL R. SCHEIER

Obama says we (the US) must punish Assad for using chemical weapons “so abhorrent it demands a response.” But wait! Now he says we could let diplomatic efforts proceed and let the UN oversee just the surrender of the chemical weapons instead. So Assad can avoid punishment just like that?

Why is Obama letting Assad off the hook? (Or is Obama is just letting himself off the hook?) Obama should give his Nobel Peace Prize to Vladimir Putin.

BRYAN

that there’ll be none, but Gantt has been Warren’s mentor, and his critics worry that he will help call the shots in City Hall. On the other hand, many people will consider Warren’s closeness to Gantt a good thing.

Gantt has been a powerful presence in Albany, where Rochester’s influence often seems weak.

Gantt and Warren both care deeply about the needs of Rochester’s inner-city residents, and Gantt is likely to push for state funding to support Warren’s initiatives.

6) What will be the effect on the Rochester school district? Warren has been a strong critic of the district, but in a post-election interview with 13WHAM, she said she wants to give Superintendent Bolgen Vargas a chance to improve student achievement. During the campaign, however, she said her administration would help provide students with more choices outside of the schools operated by the Rochester district.

She promised to support charter schools – helping recruit “high-performing charter operators with proven results serving urban students,” for instance. And her Beacons School Program would give “startup funds and technical support” not only to traditional public schools but also to private and charter schools, to encourage partnerships with community agencies to help students and their families.

That, as Warren says, will give students more alternatives to Rochester school district schools – a chance, Warren believes, for a better education. That will also undoubtedly weaken the district and its schools, which may end up serving the city’s most vulnerable, most disadvantaged children. The first families turning to those alternatives are likely to be those already most engaged in their children’s education. And the district will have less money to serve the remaining children, as state funding follows the students who head to charter schools.

Would Warren try to cut funding to the district? She hasn’t shown any signs that she would. Besides, cutting funding for schools is no easy matter. It’s one thing to try to get more money for schools when budgets are tight or the public is unhappy with the schools’ achievement. It’s quite another to try to take money away from them.

We could also see a return to the adversarial relationship between City Hall and the school district. Richards has worked hard to lessen that, to be supportive of the district and its efforts without excusing the poor student achievement. Given her past statements, Warren may not be as empathetic.

And then, of course, there’s mayoral control.

David Gantt has pushed for it in the Assembly. Richards supported it when Bob Duffy was mayor, but he has since said that it caused so much community tension that he

wouldn’t bring it up. Green candidate Alex White opposes it. The state legislature would have to approve the change, and it’s unlikely that it would approve mayoral control for Rochester if the mayor didn’t want it.

Like Richards, Warren has supported mayoral control in the past. In the 13WHAM interview last week, Warren didn’t embrace it. Instead, she said this: “Right now, the superintendent has been working at improving our outcomes. He’s a new superintendent, and I want to be able to support him.”

She said she wants to see what next year’s test scores show, but “at this point,” she said, “I’m going to look to support the superintendent and the school board.”

7) What will be Warren’s budget priorities? Several of Warren’s initiatives will be expensive, and while she says she’s confident that she’ll get money from such sources as grants and private investment, presumably some funding will come from the city’s operating and capital budgets.

And that aside, she will likely have different priorities than Richards, whether in providing funding for such events as the Jazz Festival or in shifting money and focus in neighborhood programs and services. That, of course, is true any time a new mayor is elected. (As mayor, Bill Johnson was willing to invest in support for the ferry to Toronto; his successor quickly shut the ferry down.)

Campaign statements don’t give us a clear

picture of what political candidates will do, once they face the realities of governing. In addition, many of Warren’s initiatives will need City Council approval. If the incumbents on the ballot are re-elected in November, Council will still have a slim majority who supported Richards in the primary. That doesn’t mean that the election caused an irreparable split.

And for some initiatives, Warren may find easy support. Some of the Richards backers, for instance, have been as critical of the school district as Warren has been. But Council could block some of her initiatives.

We may also see some changes on Council – and some pretty heated Democratic primaries for City Council seats in future elections. It’s possible that some of Warren’s supporters on Council could get appointments in her administration. In addition, some Councilmembers may decide to retire. Atlarge member Carolee Conklin has said that if she wins re-election to a four-year term in November, that will be her last.

If City Council resists initiatives that are important to Warren, she and her supporters may work hard to put more sympathetic Democrats on Council in the next two elections.

Campbell is the executive director of Network, a Catholic social justice lobby based in Washington, D.C. She is coming to Rochester later this month to speak at the Christ’s Love in Action event sponsored by Flower City Habitat for Humanity and Heritage Christian Services.

Her appearance is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Wednesday, September 25, at Asbury First United Methodist Church, 1050 East Avenue.

There is no charge and registration is not required. Campbell will also make a couple of appearances at Nazareth College. The first is at 7 p.m. on Thursday, September 19, in the Arts Center Callahan Theater. The second is at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, September 20, in the Linehan Chapel in the Golisano Academic Center. Both events are free and open to the public.

Campbell received national attention as an organizer of Nuns on the Bus, an activist group that makes cross-country tours to influence lawmakers on immigration reform, poverty, and health care. The group logged 6,500 miles through 15 states during its most recent trip.

People are afraid to look clearly at issues like poverty and immigration, Campbell says, because it would be mean sharing responsibility for both helping sustain and helping solve the problems.

“We all need to acknowledge that we are benefitting from having employers pay low wages, because we get lower-cost items,” she says.

“And if I’m going to face up to the fact that I am helping keep people poor, then I have to stand up and not only say that I’m willing to pay taxes, but I’m willing to pay higher taxes.

“And we know from history that having a permanent underclass wasn’t a good idea when we had slavery,” she says. “It’s not a good idea now. In a democracy, the whole idea is that we work together to govern ourselves. And if you’re leaving out a significant group of people, then the government is failing.”

In a recent conversation, Campbell spoke about her support for the Affordable Care Act and immigration reform. Many of her positions put her and Network at odds with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the church’s governing entity and public policy arm.

The Vatican chastised Network for “focusing its work too much on poverty and economic injustice, while keeping ‘silent’ on abortion and same-sex marriage,” says the New York Times.

What follows is an edited version of a wideranging interview with Sister Campbell:

US Conference of Catholic Bishops says it impinges on their religious freedom.

Campbell: The bishops’ staff started off opposing the Affordable Care Act when it was still in Congress, claiming that there was federal funding for abortion in the act.

I read the bill, and it specifically says there is not. And since that time, two federal courts have found as a matter of law that there is no federal funding of abortion.

The last time I checked the bishops’ website, they no longer maintained that there is federal funding of abortion. Now they say they fear there is federal funding of abortion.

Even though the Obama administration did basically everything that they said they needed the administration to do to comply with the issues of religious liberty that they found, they persist in maintaining that it’s not sufficient.

They keep moving the goal post.

So I believe, along with the Catholic Health Association, that the accommodation that was made by the administration protects religious liberty. Unfortunately, the bishops, who have a contract as I understand it to litigate this issue, are holding out on a litigation strategy, thinking it would be better to litigate this than for our people to get health care.

I just find this disingenuous, and quite worrisome.

You’re also outspoken in support of immigration reform.

On this one, we stand with the bishops. And on our latest bus trip, some bishops came and stood with us, which really was great.

We have all these treaties for the free movement of capital, but none for the free movement of labor. And as long as there’s no real, workable provision for the movement of labor, labor’s exploited.

We have sisters in Mexico working in little towns without men. Because of NAFTA, the men were no longer able to support their families with agriculture, so they came to the north. The women try to farm the land, and the men come here to try to send money back so their families can live.

So our global trade policy has generated the movement of people. We as a nation have to take responsibility for the consequences of our policy.

Therefore we need to fix our broken system.

Jesus was all about welcoming the stranger, reaching out to the one who is left out, making sure all are included and can participate. So for me, it’s an issue of faith. It’s not good for us as a nation to have people who are not invested, who cannot invest in our democracy.

Your views on abortion are nuanced.

has strengthened. Where abortions have gone up are with low-income women. That says to me that there’s a direct correlation between abortion and economics.

And to be pro-life requires us to be vigorously in support of women, who are the majority of low-wage workers. Therefore I think it’s more about the formation of individual conscience and economic opportunity than it is about outlawing it.

Both sides of this debate have used this one issue as a way to rally their base. And neither one has an interest in really taking care of women who might make this choice, or be tempted to make this choice.

You’ve talked about making the distinction between pro-life and pro-birth.

A congressman told me that poverty would be taken care of if we did away with minimum wage. He would consider himself pro-life. But he would rather have people starve.

The easy labels that we put on positions have been seriously counterproductive to having a conversation. So I’ve been trying to be clearer, to push folks who identify themselves as pro-life but don’t want to do anything to support people after they’re born.

It made me nervous for a very long time that I would be lumped into an extremist category that I don’t belong in. But I finally realized that my values are my values, and why should I hide from it? I’m trying to be bolder about sticking up for what I believe. I am pro-life. [Abortion is] not a good choice. It’s an anguished choice that no woman should have to make, and we ought to work really hard to make sure there are plenty of options. But we don’t. rochestercitynewspaper.com

SEPTEMBER 18-24, 2013

This week’s calls to action include the following events and activities. (All are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted.)

Immigration policy talk

A group of faith, labor, and civil rights organizations will present the talk “Race, Community, and Immigration Bias” by the Rev. Luis Barrios at 7 p.m. on Saturday, September 28. Barrios is chair of the Department of Latin American Studies at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and an Episcopal priest with St. Mary’s Church in West Harlem. He has studied US immigration policies extensively. The event will be held at Workers United Hall, 750 East Avenue.

Panel discussion on women’s equality

Women’s Equality Liberation and Defense and several co-sponsors will present “The Women’s Equality Act: What’s

Next?” a panel discussion at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, September 25. The New York State Assembly passed the full Women’s Equality Act, but the Senate refused to vote on a portion of the bill dealing with abortion rights. Is New York at risk for the passage of harsh anti-abortion laws? Where do supporters of the Women’s Equality Act go from here? KaeLyn Rich, director of the Genesee Chapter of the NYCLU, and Betty DeFrazio, executive director of the local chapter of Planned Parenthood, will answer these questions and others at Downtown United Presbyterian Church, 121 North Fitzhugh Street.

Voting rights discussion

The League of Women Voters and Monroe County Board of Elections Commissioners Thomas Ferrarese and Peter Quinn will present “Your Vote Counts,” a discussion at 7 p.m. on Tuesday,

September 24. Last June, the US Supreme Court ruled that Section 4 of the 1963 Voting Rights Act was not needed, but it gave Congress the ability to rewrite the law. The LWV is strongly in support of doing so, and is working to expand access to voting. The event will be held at Asbury First Methodist Church, 1054 East Avenue.

Lecture on deaf culture

The University of Rochester will present “Deaf Ethnicity: For and Against,” a lecture by Harlan Lane, a professor at Northeastern University and a specialist in the psychology of language.

Lane is a controversial spokesperson for the deaf community. He is a critic of cochlear implants and his written extensively about speech, hearing, and the deaf culture. His lecture will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, September 25, in the Rush Rhees Library.

Dining More restaurants should take advantage of arugula’s sharp pepperiness for their burgers; it’s a winning pairing. Add-ons for the burger abound, like the sweetly complex tomato-bacon jam ($1.50), though it would be nice if at least one of them were included in the $12 price tag. Both beef sandwiches are served with thin-cut French fries, dusted with truffle seasoning.

Beef continues to fare well with the bone-in Kansas City strip steak ($30, dinner) and a classic pairing of roasted potatoes. The sweet-chili tuna ($24, dinner), however, is not as successful. The sashimi-grade tuna is done no favors by a glaze that’s the sophisticated cousin to packets of Chinese take-out duck sauce.

Also undermining the entrée is the saffron coconut rice, which suffers the same fate as the flatbread — too salty.

The Brownie Cake ($6) resembles a dark

So close, and yet so far Tap & Table 284 EXCHANGE BLVD. 319-3388, THETAPANDTABLE.COM MONDAY-THURSDAY 11:30 A.M.-MIDNIGHT (KITCHEN OPEN UNTIL 10 P.M.); FRIDAY-SATURDAY 11:30 A.M.-2 A.M. (KITCHEN OPEN UNTIL 11 P.M.) [ REVIEW ] BY LAURA REBECCA KENYON

Tap & Table, the 14-month-old restaurant in Corn Hill Landing, hums with activity on a Saturday night. It’s one of the most talked about, written about, and Yelp-ped about players on the local food scene in the past year. In 2012 it won City Newspaper’s readers’ poll for best new restaurant. It’s got a great view of the Rochester skyline and the Genesee River. Its bar selection is expansive, and it prides itself on a commitment to “fresh, farm to table” dining. There’s even valet parking on Friday and Saturday nights.

All of the above points to an enjoyable dining experience. There are enough misfires, on not-inexpensive items, however, to suggest that Tap & Table’s buzz isn’t matching its execution — at least, not yet.

Equally emphasizing bar and kitchen offerings, the Tap & Table menu suggests pairings. Though some might be obvious,

such as Magners Irish Cider ($5.25) with the hard-cider-brined chicken in the chickensalad sandwich ($9, lunch only), others clearly benefit from advice, as in the coupling of Captain Lawrence Golden Delicious beer ($7.25) with chili-vodka shrimp ($13), sautéed with fresh herbs and house-infused chili vodka.

I didn’t observe any cocktail and food pairings on my visits (this may change), so I followed my own tastes. The raspberry mojito ($9), made with light and smooth Angostura Reserva Rum, muddled raspberries, and the requisite lime, mint, and club soda, sparkles on the palate. The Slynx ($8), however, lost all its apricot liqueur and apple-brandy fruit flavors to the mescal’s smokiness. While it reminded me of a watered-down Islay scotch, Tap & Table’s co-owner Joe McBane notes that the drink’s agave flavors are meant to dominate.

The small plates at Tap & Table are also a mixed bag: the corn and crab chowder ($7) came out lukewarm and the color of chicken gravy. Crisp kernels of fresh corn burst on the tongue but chunks of crabmeat, or any crabmeat at all, were nowhere to be found in my bowl. The soup had a hint of the ocean, but if I didn’t know I was eating crab chowder, I don’t know that I would have picked up on it.

The pork flatbread ($11, dinner special), with its Thai flavors — ginger, peanut

sauce, cilantro, vinegary carrots and peppers — had its deliciousness undercut by being too salty. The first few bites were fine, but each subsequent taste introduced more sodium, until I found myself reaching for the ice water (served in a carafe with cucumber slices — a nice touch). It’s a shame, not only because the Thai flavors were so in balance, but because the bread itself was nicely grilled: crisp at the edges and tender in the middle.

The best of the small plates was the ricotta gnocchi ($9). Gnocchi frequently earns its potato-bullet nickname, but at Tap & Table they have a cloud-like lightness, and are happily enrobed in a white-wine-butter sauce topped with parmesan. Al dente fava beans perk up the dish with their early-spring greenness, as do sunny corn kernels. A larger portion would be a welcome addition to the large-plate selection.

The French Dip sandwich ($13, lunch) with prime rib, horseradish mayo, and melted provolone hugged by a sesame- and poppy-seed roll, would be good on its own, but dipping it in the accompanying jus adds beefy flavor and an acidity that balances the sandwich’s fat. The beef burger ($12), made with beef from Lima’s Seven Bridges Farm, is served on a brioche-like roll and topped with roasted garlic aioli and arugula.

block: two thick brownies held together by a thin layer of peanut-butter frosting. This is a death-by-chocolate kind of dessert — you either like them, or you don’t. If you do, you’ll enjoy this cake’s moist richness, pocketed with melted chocolate, but you may wish that the peanut butter was more robust in the face of all that cocoa.

For a sweet and light end to the meal, the Catalonian Cream ($6) is a good choice.

Fans of crème brulee will appreciate the crunchy, caramelized sugar shell, but the custard underneath is lighter and looser than a French crème. Here, the cream envelops fresh fruit — one night the dessert featured strawberries and pineapple chunks; on another it was peaches and plums.

Tap & Table does a fine job, but I don’t think it’s living up to its potential. It doesn’t do enough to set itself apart from the rest of the fresh-and-local restaurant pack, nor does it fully reflect Rochester and its surroundings’ unique food bounty.

There are some unfortunate errors in the food, and I’d hoped for more innovation, electricity, and excitement.

That said, the fall menu I previewed — featuring blue cheese-and-walnutstuffed baked apples with a port wine reduction, Flour City pasta carbonara and hanger steak with a Brussels sprout hash among other seasonal and local treats — does look promising. As Tap & Table continues to establish itself, I hope we’ll see a more distinct point of view, more dishes that strive to reinvent and reimagine the familiar, and more of the joie de vivre that transforms eating out into a dining experience.

As a result, the band’s sound fits in well with bands such as Noah & The Whale, Slow Club, and Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit. The Whale & The Warbler is comprised of seven very talented musicians, all of whom have a clear understanding of how important strong melodies, picturesque lyricism, and depth of feeling are to folk music.

Trifle and trouble [ REVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

You put a powerful black voice in front of a garage band you’ve got some unstoppable rock ’n’ roll. Put Boston’s bombastic blues belter Barrence Whitfield blasting in front of The Savages (including two of the original Savages) and it’s like an operatic Howitzer. The band unleashed an incredible r&b-tinged garage barrage on the unsuspecting and the suspecting piled into Lovin’ Cup Tuesday, September 10, as Whifield let fly with his gravel wail and primal scream.

Whitfield bounded around the place, dancing on tables, throwing tantrums on the floor and generally wreaking havoc with hits from his quiver like “Bloody Mary” and “Big Mamou,” as well as songs off his new “Dig Thy Savage Soul.” One of the best all-out rock ’n’ roll shows I’ve seen since, well, the last time Whitfield was in town. Unstoppable and unparalleled.

EEEEEOWWW!!

Caught the Charlie Mitchell Group’s happy hour set at Abilene Friday evening.

The band is no doubt proficient chopswise, but comes on with a casual hangback.

More atmosphere than performance, which ain’t always easy. I dug the group’s casual elegance, especially its take on Monk’s “Blue Monk.” Tres cool.

Anonymous Willpower let go with a huge set (breaks are for pussies) later that night at the Dinosaur BBQ with a heart full of soul.

The band rode the rollercoaster between Irma and Etta with an amazingly tight back beat. So tight, in fact, that it would’ve made Ike Turner slap himself. I dug Don Anonymous’ parade-float head gear, I dug Suzie Willpower’s vocal trips to church and the moon. Hell, I dug it all.

I’m getting a wee bit tired of copping to “Americana” and “roots-rock.” Yet when I caught Dust & Bone’s set at Lovin’ Cup Saturday night, the band’s casual lope and saunter called to mind The Band and even Dylan, and it doesn’t get more Americana or roots-rock than that, does it? Dust & Bone warmed the boards for 5Head, which delivered a tight and fun, horns-a-plenty set of smart-assed ska. Bassist Steve Pizzuto sounds better with his pants on. Trust me.

Music “Why don’t you use the Quonset Hut?” It snowballed from there and I thought instead of just my band, why not get some of the musicians that played on all those old records I was recreating?

How’d you run them down?

Well, they’re still working. They’re in the union book. You just call them up and they’ll come play your session for you. It was a complete honor for me to have Harold Bradley and Bob Moore and Buddy Spicher, all those guys… Harold Bradley is the mostrecorded guitar player in recording history and the sweetest, most honorable man I know. I love that guy. Having those guys come in and be the backbone on a handful of songs was a tremendous honor and just a total gas.

How’d you pick the material for the album?

12 CITY SEPTEMBER 18-24, 2013

“We’re gonna make sure shit gets broke at Abilene,” promises country singer/songwriter/ all-around rambunctious hillbilly cat, Chuck Mead. And though he and his band, the Grassy Knoll Boys, will undoubtedly tear up the joint, Mead is a respectful artist who speaks with an excited reserve when talking about his latest platter, “Back at the Quonset Hut.” It was recorded at what was originally known as Bradley’s Film & Recording Studios, the famed studio that birthed Patsy Cline’s “Crazy,” Brenda Lee’s “I’m Sorry,” and Bobby Vinton’s “Blue Velvet,” among other classic songs. The studio closed in 1982 only to be revamped and reopened in 2006 as part of Belmont University.

Mead recorded this album of country and rockabilly songs among the dust and ghosts, going so far as to incorporate some of the original session musicians and hired guns that worked in the studio’s golden age.

Mead first burst on the scene with the three-time Grammy-nominated retro-hillbilly

outfit BR549. With the band officially on hiatus, Mead has focused on a solo career and producing the Broadway hit “Million Dollar Quartet.” He called from rehearsal to discuss recording in the country-music equivalent to the Vatican, how you always have to include Acuff and Williams, and why there will never be a BR549 musical. Here’s an edited transcript of what was said.

CITY: How was it laying down a session at The Quonset Hut? Chuck Mead: Oh man, it was a pretty

spectacular experience. You go into a spot where so much of what you do and what is part of you musically as an artist was created, for most of all hillbilly music — that and RCA studio B —was amazing.

This seems like a perfect fit for you. Why didn’t you try this earlier?

It wasn’t open earlier. It was dormant. Years ago when we BR549 changed labels from Sony to Arista, the studio that once was the Quonset Hut was where the art department worked.

You could still go and stand in the spot where the singer stood, and it was this weird spot that didn’t sound like any other spot in the room. So Belmont University decided to revamp it and threw a bunch of money into it. And it just so happened that the sound engineering professor was Mike Janas, who had co-produced the first four BR549 records years ago. When I decided I was going to do a classic country record he said,

I picked songs we’ve been doing live. I wanted to do songs that were recorded at The Quonset Hut, too. I know the Hank Williams song was recorded at the old Castle, but that doesn’t count. If you’re making a classic country record, you’ve got to put a Roy Acuff and Hank Williams song on your record.

What’s the Chuck Mead spin on the material?

How did you make it yours?

My spin is there’s always just a little bit of rock ’n’ roll in it, because there was always a little bit of rock ’n’ roll in those guys. It just wasn’t called that then; it hadn’t completely morphed into the atomic age. And we didn’t do exact replicas of the songs, because it’s ridiculous to match it note for note. We just kind of did it our own way. I think we modernized it. I mean, we recorded it on Pro Tools and bounced it over to tape when we mixed it to get more warmth. It all still went down live.

How did you get involved with the “Million Dollar Quartet” musical?

It was a weird phone call I got in 2005 from Colin Escott asking me if I’d ever worked on a Broadway musical. Then he explained what it was. I knew the songs and thought, I can do this. We started with a little production down in Florida and I just approached it like I was producing a record. I just wanted to make it authentic rockabilly music. Those guys were really up there playing.

Were you mindful of making it too corny or mainstream?

I was looking at these guys as a musical legacy.

I didn’t want it to get all cheesed out. And I think we achieved that. I think we achieved a very entertaining show that people who go to regular musical theater would enjoy just as much as the people who never go to musical theater who would think, “Hey, that’s a great rock ’n’ roll show. I can dig that.” I got the bug now; I kind of want to write a musical.

WORLD MUSIC | SAAKUMU DANCE TROUPE

The Saakumu Dance Troupe hails from Ghana (Africa), performing spiritual, ceremonial, recreational, and contemporary African dance forms. It is led by Bernard Woma. According to the group’s Facebook page, Woma’s father handed him mallets as an infant and he began playing the “gyil” when he was only 2 years old. The gyil is a traditional instrument, like a xylophone, of the African Dagara people. Take in the colors, instruments, and music as part of the Eastman School of Music’s World Music Series. Future concerts include Pablo Ziegler Quartet’s Argentinean tango music (January 21), and the Balian Gamelan Lila Muni (April 28).

Rochester native Greg Byers started playing cello as a toddler. After graduating from the University of Miami, Byers tested the waters of the Los Angeles music scene and eventually moved to Minneapolis, where he now resides. Byers is a singer-songwriter whose fall concert tour and new EP are financed by donations from a Kickstarter project. The tunes are warm and enjoyable and flow with an orchestral vibe. The vocals lean toward pop and sound sweet to the ear. This homecoming concert features Byers as a one-man-show who blends (among other things) an electric cello along with a synthesized rhythm section. It all works like a charm. Dave Pronko opens.

Classical Exploring the sound machine Spectrum of Sound: Aspects of Organ Music Since 1940 EASTMAN ROCHESTER ORGAN INITIATIVE FESTIVAL 2013 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26-SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 ESM.ROCHESTER.EDU/ORGAN/EROI/ [ PREVIEW ] BY PALOMA CAPANNA

Professor David Higgs is a pretty smart guy.

He’s a professor at the Eastman School of Music and he’s the chair of the Department of Organ, Sacred Music, and Keyboard Instruments. He’s an organist. He’s a jurist.

And, he was smart enough to headline this year’s Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative Festival, based around modern organ works, as “spectrum of sound.” You may take note that — intentionally or not — he didn’t use the word “experimental.” In the world of classical music, “experimental,” meaning to depart from what was known as coming before, can give an audience pre-concert anxiety.

“In the middle 20th century, composers started seeing the organ as a giant sound machine,” says Higgs. “They started experimenting with sounds by manipulating the wind of the organ and the stops. For example, only opening them part way so that the parts don’t get a steady supply of wind.”

This year’s EROI Festival focuses on organ music since 1940, including compositions by Olivier Messiaen, György Ligeti, John Cage, Wolfgang Stockmeier, Michael Pelzel, and Martin Herchenröder. The four-day EROI Festival features several organ recitals, open to the public, at venues like the Eastman School of Music, Christ Church, Downtown United Presbyterian Church, Third Presbyterian Church, and Sacred Heart Cathedral.

Organist, composer, and pedagogue Martin Herchenröder is all too familiar with the questions that can come from an audience around experimental organ music. “Yes, I have the impression that people might be anxious about his music,” says Herchenröder, who will be performing at this year’s EROI. “I give a pre-concert talk, I make an introduction, and I explain something about it. People have ears.

They have also to be open-minded. Some will get some imagination out of it; others do not. If you will open your mind, I will play the music, and we will see what comes of it.”

Herchenröder is a professor of composition, music theory, and organ at the University of Siegen in Germany, giving classes, lectures, and 18 CITY SEPTEMBER 18-24, 2013

performances around the world, including at the Juilliard School of Music, University of Chicago, McGill University (Montreal), and the Musikhochschule in Köln and Bremen (Germany).

Higgs credits Romanian composer Ligeti (1923-

2006) with composing one of the seminal works, “Volumina,” that explored the organ’s sound potential, and Ligeti’s music will factor into the recitals. Sharing the program listings will also be American composer John Bolcom (b. 1938). A self-described “non-organist” with a “schizoid personality,” Bolcom wrote his first major piece for the organ in 1967, including pre-taped sounds, percussion, and a virtuoso organ part. “And people just kept asking for new pieces,” says Bolcom, who nearly 50 years later still sounds surprised at his own success, including winning the Pulitzer Prize, a National Medal of Arts, and two Grammy Awards.

Bolcom says there was even a two-week festival named after him — “Illuminating Bolcom” — as if he’s only just been discovered.

Bolcom put himself through music school.

He says he didn’t want to become an organist, playing only in “churches and burlesque houses.” And yet, his whole life became a search for collaboration with first-rate performers.

Bolcom laughed heartily when I asked him if he simply hears music everywhere and in everything. “I’m afraid I can’t get rid of it!” says Bolcom. “It wakes me in the middle of the night. It’s ear worms like you can’t believe.”

As Higgs explains, there are some organists who specialize in “contemporary techniques” for the organ. In some cases, there is a score, which is completely recognizable and written out. In other cases, the “score” may consist of geometric shapes that are explained in the preface to create a notation system designed by the composer.

There is even the occasional ESM student or organ competition contestant who will perform such a contemporary piece.

“If we don’t have these live performances, people will never really experience this music in a way that they do when they see someone doing it in real time,” says Higgs. “Especially for this music that treats the organ like a sound machine, knowing someone is behind it is really important.”

Higgs also wants to celebrate composers who are either still alive or who died not all that long ago. “It is really important to stay connected to the music of our time. That doesn’t necessarily mean pop music, but people living the same influences that we do,” says Higgs.

At the same time as the EROI Festival,

the Westfield Organ Competition will also be taking place. This is the first occasion to have a competition centered around the historical and recreatedhistorical organs located in Rochester and Ithaca, according to Higgs. The 12 semi-finalists in the competition will travel to Upstate New York from all over the world, and the international five-member jury panel boasts highpowered credentials. First prize is $10,000. The final round of the competition will be held at Christ Church as part of EROI on September 28.

The organ at Downtown United Presbyterian Church will be featured during Herchenröder, who the upcoming Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative Festival. FILE PHOTO entered into this world of experimental organ music shortly after he had wonderful that there are places like Rochester completed his formal organ studies, describes it as “thrilling,” “a complete new world,” and “an where people are more open-minded, they are used to listening to organ music, and they experience.” He describes the Rochester organ come to concerts.” scene as among a limited number of places in the world with so many different organs. “And it is so interesting to have so many different organ EROI 2013 Performance Schedule types in the same place.

The cast of “Pump Boys and Dinettes,” now on stage at Geva Theatre Center. PHOTO BY KEN HUTH

57 varieties “Pump Boys and Dinettes” THROUGH OCTOBER 13 GEVA THEATRE CENTER, 75 WOODBURY BLVD. TICKETS START AT $25 232-4382, GEVATHEATRE.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND

Lightweight musical revues generally have short lives, but “Pump Boys and Dinettes” has proved surprisingly hardy. First produced in the early 1980’s as the off-est of Off Broadway shows, it eventually moved to the Big Street and ran for a year and a half. Thirty years later it is still going strong. Geva put on the show when it was new, in the early 80’s, and now it is back. It has no updating that I could notice, but it doesn’t need it. Modest it is, but “Pump Boys” is a born crowd-pleaser with a classic feel to it.

“Pump Boys and Dinettes” was originally written and performed by John Foley, Mark Hardwick, Debra Monk, Cass Morgan, John Schimmel, and Jim Wann, who went on to various kinds of fame (Monk is a Tony- and Emmywinning actress, and Morgan starred in Broadway’s “Memphis”). It takes place at a combination garage and diner on Highway 57, “somewhere between Frog Level and Smyrna,” staffed by six singin’ and dancin’ employees (and apparently no customers — which leaves the employees plenty of time for singin’ and dancin’). The Pump 20 CITY SEPTEMBER 18-24, 2013

Boys work in the garage and gas station, the Dinettes in the Double Cupp diner.

The show has no book to speak of — the closest thing is a running gag about a Winnebago on wheels, presented, like most of the rest of the dialogue, by a Pump Boy named Jim (here played by Johnny Kinnaird). The humor is pleasant if sitcommy; one of the biggest laughs invokes the old “eat here and get gas” line, which gives you the general idea. Each character gets a musical vignette or two, and they join forces to go on an impulsive road trip to Florida. After that, the show doesn’t so much end as stop, though there is a nice “closing up” bit for the cast at the very end.

Mostly the evening is about music, a string of

country- and blues-inspired songs. These are better than you might expect, and I’m sure they’re the reason for the show’s long life. The lively music owes more to Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry than to Kenny Rogers. The lyrics are well crafted and often have a satirical edge, referencing such down-home concerns as farmer tans, Woolworth’s cashiers, Dolly Parton, cars, and cornbread with a sense of humor and a double entendre here and there.

There are a couple of touching, heartfelt songs that seem to come out of nowhere: one character’s tribute to his Memaw (his grandma, to those above the Mason-Dixon Line), and the two waitresses’ song about being sisters who have never really known each other. They add a bit of depth to the proceedings, though the show’s characters are so thinly drawn that the emotions are

less powerful than they might be in a book musical.

Director Mark Cuddy opens this show up a bit, mostly by giving it a comfy home on a large and wonderfully detailed set designed by Vicki Smith. This is an eyeful, from the row of beer bottles on top to the rotary-dial phone in the garage and the push-button cash register in the diner.

The choreography is pretty basic — lots of variations on line dancing and boot scootin’ — but the cast is always on the move. The show is pretty short to begin with, and seems even shorter when performed with such energy.

It’s a tribute to the cast that you don’t spend more time checking out the details on the set. Showbiz used to refer to “triple threats” — performers who are excellent actors, singers, and dancers. I guess Geva’s cast consists of quadruple threats, since they do all the above and play instruments. (And their singing includes some really beautiful a capella harmonies.) The men all double as the show’s band; besides the amiable Johnny Kinnaird, who plays rhythm guitar, they include Travis Artz as Jackson (lead guitar and mandolin), Nathan Dame as Eddie (bass guitar and string bass), and Jonathan Spivey as the manager L.M. (who handily has a piano in his office; he also plays the accordion).

Farah Alvin and Erin Maguire complete the cast as Prudie and Rhetta Cupp, the sisters who run the diner.

These ladies’ voices combine in laserlike harmony, and they come into their own in Act 2 with the “Sisters” duet mentioned above, and a raucous bid for “Tips” that brings them into the audience (who responded generously with their dollar bills when I saw the show).

There’s a high-minded essay in the Geva program that drops names like Steinbeck, Kerouac, Walt Whitman, and other American bards of the open road — names the characters in the show would probably never recognize. It does give “Pump Boys and Dinettes” a genuine if modest place in American culture, and the knowledge that places like the Double Cupp are pretty much gone forever gives the show a nice grace note of emotion.

If, theatrically speaking, “Pump Boys and Dinettes” is not exactly a square meal, it is tasty, likeable, and couldn’t be better presented. The audience at the matinee I attended ate it up like a blue-plate special with pie on the side. Speaking of pie, how many musicals offer you pie at intermission, not to mention a chance to win a car air freshener?

COMEDY | THE ONION

“Area college students to attend seminar held by greatest newspaper ever.” No, that’s not a real headline, but it may just be how the people over at The Onion would put it if they got the chance. America’s Finest News Source is coming to the University of Rochester, and you don’t want to pass up this chance to hear from the satire geniuses themselves.

Known for its satirical spins on real (and fictional) current events, The Onion has been America’s most beloved satire source since going online in 1996. In 2012 it named Kim Jong Un the world’s sexiest man alive, and the Chinese government was fooled into thinking it was real. That’s how good it is.

Learn more about The Onion Thursday, September 19, at 7:30 p.m. at the Strong Auditorium on UR’s River Campus. $5-$15. Visit rochester.universitytickets.com for more info.

SPECIAL EVENTS | PLAY BALL/ROARING 20’S BALL

Looking for a big night out? This weekend there are at least two balls taking place in Rochester. They’re very different in scope, but both offer up a certain bit of nostalgia and activities that should make for a memorable evening.

The Roaring 20’s Ball by local dance group Groove Juice Swing is the perfect opportunity to bust out those Charleston dance moves. If you don’t have any moves, worry not, as there will be a Charleston lesson at 7 p.m. Afterward, show off your skills on the dance floor as DJs play a variety of 1920’s jazz. The event takes place Friday, September 20, 7-11 p.m. at Tango Café, 389 Gregory St. Tickets are $6. Visit groovejuiceswing.com for more information.

If you’re not a dancer, then check out the National Museum of Play’s Play Ball, also taking place Friday night. Enjoy food and cocktails, live entertainment, and a silent auction as the museum is transformed into an adult playground for one night. Admission to this fundraiser is $125 per person, and the event runs 6-10 p.m. (note that the museum will be closed to the public on Friday in order to prepare for the event.)

The museum is located at 1 Manhattan Square. Check out museumofplay.org for more details. — BY TREVOR LEWIS

An American mobster in France “The Family”

(R), DIRECTED BY LUC BESSON NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA

The Mafia penetrates American life so deeply and fully that the organization provides the subject for both gangster films and comedies (mobedies?). Although the mob’s traditional business enterprises — robbery, drugs, prostitution, gambling, extortion, political corruption, etc., etc., usually accompanied by violence and bloodshed — hardly qualify as material for laughs, some writers and

filmmakers extract humor from all that criminal behavior. This is America, after all, where some of the biggest crooks occupy positions in such honored capitalist institutions as banking, great corporations, and the stock market, which may be much less funny than mob activity.

In the latest mob comedy, “The Family,” which could be the title of any number of gangster flicks, Robert De Niro plays Giovanni Manzoni, former Mafia big shot who ratted out his colleagues, now relocated to France as Fred Blake under the witness protection program, and posing as a writer.

Along with his wife, Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer), and teenage children, Belle (Dianna Agron) and Warren (John D’Leo), he moves from town to town, leaving a trail of corpses in his wake. As the action begins, in fact, his children complain about the odor in the car, which happens to emanate from a body in the trunk.

They set up house in a little village in Normandy, where, incomprehensibly,

26 CITY SEPTEMBER 18-24, 2013

everybody seems to speak a passable brand of English, under the watchful eye of FBI agent Stansfield (Tommy Lee Jones), whose patience Giovanni sorely tests. At the same time, the big boss he betrayed, now in prison, sends an assassin in search of the family. The mob killer murders a number of people in his quest, in one nice touch chopping off a finger so the imprisoned boss can see if the fingerprints match his quarry’s.

That constant, excessive violence sets the tone for most of the picture, appropriately reflected in the activities of the Manzonis.

When some nasty Frenchmen in a supermarket make contemptuous remarks about Maggie and Americans in general, she firebombs the store.

While her brother takes over the high-school rackets, Belle demonstrates the movie’s athletic motif when she resists the sexual advances of a quartet of louts by beating the foie gras out of one of them with a tennis racquet; her father meanwhile uses a baseball bat to deal with a rude and recalcitrant plumber.

The picture reaches an explosive and really quite bloody climax when the assassin and a gaggle of hoodlums show up in town while the American writer Fred Blake speaks about the movie “GoodFellas,” which of course featured De Niro, for the local film society.

Although “The Family” provides its share of laughs, the mixture of comedy and brutality attains a cartoonish level of excess that turns the

Nonsense and sensibility “Austenland” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY JERUSHA HESS NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

movie into something of a self-parody. Nothing in the film, with the possible exception of the machinations of the imprisoned capo di tutti capi, even hints at plausibility. The wholesale slaughter of innocent people unsurprisingly somehow fails to amuse.

Many years ago Michelle Pfeiffer made her bones as a Mafia wife in “Married to the Mob,” so she seems to have no problem playing Maggie, who apparently wants to be a better person — she goes to confession, but the kindly priest, apparently shocked by her revelations, eventually banishes her from the church. At the same time, her propensity for blowing up markets when she experiences ill treatment creates the same comic contradictions that permeate the film.

Unquestionably one of the finest actors of our time, the Robert De Niro of “The Family” is not the same remarkable artist who distinguished himself in “The Godfather II,” “Raging Bull,” “Cape Fear,” “The King of Comedy,” or a dozen other pictures. This is the sly, cute, mugging actor of “Analyze This,” “Analyze That,” “Meet the Parents,” and “Meet the Fockers,” simply going through some familiar motions with some familiar mannerisms, lines, and gestures. Like another accomplished star, his contemporary Jack Nicholson, De Niro too often takes the easy way out and simply plays himself. His performance all too precisely sums up the problem with “The Family.”

Be it in novels, on television, or in the movies, love stories in popular culture have always had the (perhaps unintended) effect of creating unrealistic expectations of what romance should be. It’s this tendency that makes the genre so ripe for a good satirical takedown every now and again.

Deflating these idealized notions of love through light-hearted spoofery is what I assume the new comedy “Austenland” is attempting to achieve, but it’s difficult to tell because, frankly, the movie is a big ol’ mess. The directing debut of Jerusha Hess (co-writer of “Napoleon Dynamite”), and based on the 2007 novel by Shannon Hale, “Austenland” manages to squander a reasonably clever premise, along with a talented ensemble of actors.

Keri Russell stars as Jane, an obsessive Jane Austen fan who’s been particularly unlucky in love. Fed up with her lackluster personal life, Jane decides to cash in her life savings for the chance to fulfill a lifelong dream of traveling to Austenland, a theme park/resort in

Jennifer Coolidge, Keri Russell, and Georgia King in “Austenland.”

the English countryside that provides paying customers with an “immersive Jane Austen experience.” Meaning that it allows lovesick women the chance to savor life in the Regency era, and meet their very own real-life Mr. Darcy, as portrayed by a stable of paid performers — sort of like the reenactors you find working at historical museums. The park’s owner, the snooty Mrs. Wattlesbrook (Jane Seymour), emphatically states that the romancing is never to cross the line into actual sex, presumably to explain the thin line that separates the park from a more traditional escort service.

En route, Jane meets and befriends another Austenland vacationer, Elizabeth Charming (the always delightful Jennifer Coolidge). While Jane is only able to afford the bare-bones “Copper Package,” the film makes much ado about the ways in which her vacation differs from the Platinum version enjoyed by the well-off Elizabeth. Forced to stay in the servants’ quarters and saddled with the moniker “Miss Estwhile,” Jane quickly becomes disillusioned with her fantasy holiday.

Veering off the track laid out for her, she soon falls for Martin (Bret McKenzie, “Flight of the Conchords”), the park’s groundskeeper, who’s supposedly not meant to be partaking in the role-playing activities. As the two grow closer, Jane is simultaneously being courted by the resort’s Mr. Darcy stand-in, Mr. Nobley (JJ Feild). She soon finds herself struggling to distinguish between reallife love and the fantasy romance that Austenland is peddling.

The actors do their best to liven up the rather limp material they’re given.

Everyone in this movie is capable of being funny, and has been in a variety of other roles, but the writing lets them down at every turn. Keri Russell has a sweet, appealing screen presence, but as a result,

she’s not the most convincing at playing the flighty, mousy pushover she’s called upon to portray here. It’s a testament to Jennifer Coolidge’s talent that she was able to make me laugh out loud three times throughout the course of the movie, and that has everything to do with her delivery of the lines instead of the lines themselves.

Still, she’s simply called upon to play the stock Jennifer Coolidge part: the clueless, slightly trashy woman who in her own mind views herself as a paragon of good taste and style. We’ve seen her in this role dozens of times, always with more success.

McKenzie is fine, and Feild, intentionally or not, comes across exactly like every other onscreen Mr. Darcy you’ve ever seen.

“Austenland” traffics in broad comedy, but the film occupies an awkward middle ground where the audience is meant to laugh at the ridiculousness of what we’re seeing, but simultaneously we’re supposed to care about Jane’s love life and hope that she eventually finds happiness.

But the crucial element that would make that balance succeed is having characters that seem relatable and at least somewhat realistic, despite their wacky situations. Hess’ script makes no effort to understand or even explain Jane’s obsession, and in the end it doesn’t matter, since as soon as she arrives at Austenland, she seems to want no part in it. Hess’ direction is slack to the point of feeling like a rough cut, and Nick Fenton’s editing of the film doesn’t do her any favors, allowing most scenes to go on just a few beats too long, adding to the clumsy feel of the entire endeavor.

But “Austenland”’s biggest problem is that it’s just not funny. What could have been a hilarious and smart parody of Romance (with a capital “R”) and the role fantasy plays in our love lives is instead rendered utterly forgettable.

Search. Buy. Sell.

With the $17.7 million federal grant for the Inner Loop reconnection project, timing couldn’t be better to invest in real estate in the Wadsworth Square neighborhood. 400 Broadway is located within walking or easy biking distance to all of the amenities and entertainment of downtown—Geva Theatre Center, Eastman Theatre, The Strong, the East End neighborhood—and the South Wedge, Monroe Avenue, and Park Avenue. The house itself is a real gem of unspoiled Victorian-era charm and craftsmanship. Built in 1866, with a later 1895 addition, this lovely house has maintained its original architectural elements, while updates have been sympathetically made to remain coherent with its timeless style.

The house has great curb appeal with recent full exterior painting and a cozy front porch.

It has a fully fenced backyard, with a roomy deck, urban vegetable and herb garden, plus a convenient outside shower. The detached garage is a charming space that can be used as a workshop or artist studio.

The breathtaking entry foyer is a room in itself!

It is spacious and bright, with all the woodwork in pristine condition. Just as you walk in, the elegantly embellished newel post, handrails and balusters on the double stairway invite you to view the original stained glass windows.

To your right, the foyer is separated by pocket doors and opens up into a large, formal dining room, with original built-in shelves. The light

fixtures both in the living room and dining room are original and in remarkably good shape.

The eat-in kitchen has been fully updated to meet modern day standards, while maintaining an old-world welcoming atmosphere. It features a large center island with sink, seating and modern appliances. There is plenty of room for storage, not to mention all the possibilities afforded by the butler’s pantry. To the back of the kitchen, you will find a spacious laundry room and a full bathroom—wonderful first floor luxuries in an older home.

The upstairs is a real treat. There are three spacious and bright bedrooms and a fourth one that can be used as a den or office. All the built-in closets are surprisingly spacious to accommodate personal belongings, linens, toys and much more. The main bathroom is uniquely well-appointed with all the original wood paneling, apothecary chest, mirror, clawfoot tub and many unusual period details.

400 Broadway is a lovely 2,467 square foot house and is listed at $142,900. For more photos and information, visit rochestercityliving. com/property/R231536 or contact Karen Gram with RE/MAX Custom at 585-309-3845.
