Climate’s politics problem When it comes to climate change and public policy, three areas are virtually inseparable: the economy, energy, and politics. Often, the mix is not productive. Science has linked man-made emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases to climate change, and researchers have noticed long-term shifts in the natural patterns of temperature and precipitation. But the United States still lacks a comprehensive national climate change policy. Increasingly, climate-related disasters and challenges will require lawmakers’ attention. If lawmakers don’t develop comprehensive plans,
they’ll have to react event by event. And that leaves unaddressed the underlying cause of climate change: the large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases generated by human activities. Ultimately, who’s in office will make a difference. Presidential candidates Barack Obama and his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, differ sharply on climate change. Romney has been dismissive of the problem, while Obama’s tried to highlight his policies to reduce carbon emissions. And while parts of the candidates’ energy policies are similar, Obama places more emphasis on renewables.

GUEST COMMENTARY | BY MARK HARE Summer tomato salad • 6
Try voting for a change My parents, Fred and Phyllis Hare, never missed an election. In the 1950’s and 60’s, they were typical of their friends in the little village of Owego, New York, near the Pennsylvania border. They believed that citizens have a duty to vote and that those who couldn’t be bothered had a duty to keep their mouths shut. “Can’t complain about the government,” Dad would say, “if you don’t vote.” Even then it was a cliché, but we’d have a much stronger democracy if people lived by the Fred-and-Phyl rule. A recent USA Today/Suffolk University poll found that 90 million eligible voters are likely to take a pass this November for reasons ranging from too-busy-to-vote to disillusionment. My parents didn’t expect politicians to inspire them – although they were occasionally moved by surprising turns. The election of John Kennedy, a fellow Catholic, was a big deal for them, even though he was Democrat. But my dad, who worked as a Pentagon auditor most of his life, was satisfied when the government didn’t screw up. Both of my parents knew that candidates get overheated during campaigns, regularly say things they don’t mean. They knew that elections are blunt instruments. They didn’t expect to have their way, just to have their say. They were Republicans, but when the FBI visited them to ask what they knew about the anti-Vietnam War “radicals” their son (me) was hanging around with, they blamed Nixon and never again voted for him or his party. In America, Dad said, people are free to talk to anyone. They knew that compromise is not a sellout but the alternative to guns in the streets. A friend of mine says he sees every election as a contest between the cruel and perverse Roman Emperor Caligula and the autocratic Augustus, who kept the peace with a quiet ruthlessness. The comparison helps him lower his expectations, but reminds him that there are important, if imperfect, choices to be made. Anyone who thought there was no real difference between Al Gore and George W. Bush would surely agree. I was a reporter, editorial writer, and columnist for 34 years. I know what it means to have a voice. For most people, like my parents, voting is the only voice they have. Like many liberals, I wish President Obama had closed Gitmo, got us single

A recent poll found that 90 million eligible voters are likely to take a pass this November.” payer, and ended the war in Afghanistan. But I’m my parents’ son. You don’t stay home to wait for the perfect candidate. In their insightful new book, “It’s Even Worse Than It Looks,” Norman Ornstein and Thomas Mann rightly argue that while the Democrats embody the flaws and contradictions of every functioning political party, the Republicans have turned extremism and obstruction into a winning political strategy – that has soured voters on the very act of governing. Ornstein and Mann offer several paths out of this quagmire. The most important, I think, is to roll back restrictive voting laws enacted by several Republican-controlled states and to expand voting with all the available tools, from simplified registration to early voting. With a bigger pool of voters, the parties would be forced to broaden their appeal, to offer voters programs to better their own lives. We can’t fix the system in one election cycle, but we can fix it. Alexis de Tocqueville, the French historian and prescient chronicler of the young America, wrote in his 1835 “Democracy in America” that “the further the limit of voting rights is extended, the stronger is the need felt to spread them still wider, for after each new concession the forces of democracy are strengthened, and its demands increase with the augmented power.” Fred and Phyl Hare never read de Tocqueville, but voting was in their blood. They were better for it, and so was America.

The left has moved right
Mary Anna Towler’s column “One Nation Indivisible?” (Urban Journal) cites a New Yorker article saying Congressional Republicans have drifted further right than the Democrats have drifted left. I share Mary Anna’s worry about political gridlock. But the claim about Republican and Democratic parties’ respective “drifts” is wrong on both counts. The Republican “drift” is a mad dash into fiscal, defense, public welfare, and unsustainability insanity. This, while the feckless Democrats are sucked right by the moneyed interests that keep them in office. There is no Democratic Party drift left. Their drift is clearly right, and the Republican “drift” is the same accelerating mad dash that it has been for some decades. Furthermore, the Obama administration is doing an admirable job of creating the tightly bound infrastructure necessary to the extremist Republican Party program of active defiance of reality and even life itself. This “accomplishment” is by means of executive overreach that even Bush and Cheney could only envy through enforcement of truly mind-boggling reversals of constitutional liberties. Obama’s continuing curtailment of habeas corpus, unparalleled prosecution of whistle blowers, indefinite detentions and renditions, and chronic stonewalling on important questions that the media does not bother to ask are examples that scratch the surface. It is no doubt a radical belief that voting is the least qualified example of action that can promote democracy in this country. But as the middle class evaporates, most people must by now suspect that purchased elections have already trashed actual democracy. This is just one in a very large array of tools in play from the toolkit of anti-democratic forces of a relentless corporatocracy that has rewritten the rules of the game. Neither Obama nor his pathetic appointee as head of the Department of Justice, Eric Holder, is any more free of the financial and ecological derangement than Bain Capital’s Mitt Romney. But that’s a letter for another day.

Why not take the Sibley rent?
I concur with the skepticism of some City Council members regarding the proposed purchase of the Sibley Building by Winn Development. What is particularly disturbing is the city’s continuing reluctance to collect any of the $24 million in back taxes owed by Rochwil Associates, the shell corporation of the Wilmot family. I can see why the city does not want to own the building. However, there is no impediment to suing Rochwil Associates, taking a judgment for the back taxes, and serving a garnishee on the building’s tenants. It’s my understanding that Monroe Community College pays almost $2 million in rent. With a judgment and garnishee, that money would certainly look good in the city’s coffers. I can’t, however, resist the conclusion that politics plays a large part in the city’s reluctance to pursue this avenue. JAMES R. BOEHLER, ROCHESTER
Editor’s note: Several readers have raised questions similar to Boehler’s. Why, indeed, can’t the city at least get the money that Sibley tenants have paid in rent? The reason dates back to the original agreement with Rochwil. That agreement, says Mayor Tom Richards, prohibited the city from taking any kind of judgment – filing a lien, for instance – until the first mortgage was paid. It hasn’t been, yet. And even if that restriction didn’t exist, the city was in a tough position. Being able to force a building’s owner to hand over the rental income “doesn’t change how much money’s available,” Richards says. Rochwil’s only asset is the Sibley building. If Rochwil had used the rental income to pay the city rather than paying down the mortgage, the bank would foreclose on the property. And the city would be left with nothing. The good news, Richards says, is that Rochwil has been paying down that mortgage and now owes only $2 million, making sale of the building possible. Initially, the first mortgage was for more than the building is worth. And FYI, Richards says: Wilmorite, which created Rochwil, did put a lot of equity into the building and lost a lot of money. “Do I feel sorry for them? No,” Richards says. “But it’s not like they made out.”
Chicago’s strike and its costs
“The strike is as disruptive as any major labor strike in recent memory,
causing tremendous hardship on Chicago’s nearly 400,000 students and their families” (“All Eyes Are on Chicago,” News Blog). What about all this testing? That’s not causing hardship? A couple of weeks of no school compared to the potential coming generations of oppressive schooling? ALAN MURPHY

Positioning Romney
The press has been quick to label Mitt Romney’s private comments astonishing and damaging. I strongly disagree. All of his points are entirely in accord with the voting records of all (and I don’t mean some) Republican congressmen up for reelection. He has created an opportunity for those who agree with those positions (and there may be very many) to vote for a president and congressman with whom they really agree, as well as an opportunity for everyone to ascertain how seriously they should be regarded. CHARLES CASTLEMAN, ROCHESTER
The purpose of guns
People who dismiss gun control usually offer the notion that cars, knives, or baseball bats can kill people, too. I suppose they could add nail files, anything glass, or perhaps chain saws. This, of course, misses the point that guns serve one main purpose, and that is to kill, and with today’s technology, multiple killings. And I wish people who say they quote the Second Amendment, as one of the City letter-writers did, would offer the entire “exact wording” and not be selective about the language. The amendment reads, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” If there were a period after the word “state,” rather than a comma, as usually printed, the Second Amendment would be much clearer about the intent. If some people would seem to prefer an unregulated Militia, I suggest they go to Iraq, Mexico, or Afghanistan, places awash in guns, where people are never free of fear for their lives from terrorists.

Deputy fire chief out
EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
School 16: a cautionary tale
Rochester Deputy Fire Chief Scotty Williams was terminated over a personal matter, city officials said. He had been with the department since 2007. Officials would not comment on the reason for Williams’ dismissal, but Williams told local media outlets that he was terminated over issues with his residency.
Years of neglect at School 16 — classrooms regularly overheated, parts of the building smelled like urine — have lead Rochester schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas to commission a report on the structural state of all the district’s schools. The report, which is due out next month, is supposed to help officials prevent a repeat of the School 16 situation, where repairs were ignored until a crisis was reached and the school abruptly closed.

But the report will also likely ignite tense discussion between Vargas and members of the school board on several related issues: which schools to close, which to include in the second phase of the district’s massive renovation project, and whether to scrap the district’s school choice program in favor of neighborhood schools. Vargas is looking for a new master plan because decisions about schools can’t be made in isolation, says school board member Willa Powell. Former Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard changed the direction of the original renovation program, turning many of the schools in the first phase of construction into K to 8 schools. But
the transition hasn’t gone smoothly. It has created practical problems, and encountered resistance from some parents and neighborhood residents. Parents tend to be attracted to smaller schools, and many want the district to go back to neighborhood K to 6 elementary schools. Another problem: the reshuffling has left some high schools with unused space, Powell says. And if Vargas recommends closing schools, district officials would need to make sure they don’t leave some neighborhoods with too many schools, and others without enough. School board member Van White says the report should also lead to a continues on page 8

Cost of War Much like the giant-monster films of the 1950’s — Godzilla, for example — reflected fears and concerns about the atomic bomb, zombie films tap into Americans’ fears about the socioeconomic changes they’re experiencing.

The zombie class
Grim grad news
The current political debate may seem like it’s about jobs, taxes, and the national debt. But what Americans are really experiencing is a philosophical crisis involving the middle class, said Stephen Shapiro, a professor of English at the University of Warwick in Britain. The crisis is revealed, he said, in the zombie film craze. Much like the giant-monster films of the 1950’s — Godzilla, for example — reflected fears and concerns about the atomic bomb, zombie films tap into Americans’ fears about the socioeconomic changes they’re experiencing, Shapiro said. During a recent lecture at Nazareth College, Shapiro said that genre films often fill an informative role that other media formats either can’t or won’t. The films don’t mirror reality, he said, and they’re not an interpretation of what lurks just below the surface. They instead allow people to experience what their emotional responses might be to something extremely disturbing, a kind of horror. “They tell us there is a crisis in the background,” Shapiro said. In this instance, the American middle class is the living dead. The middle class is struggling because it’s being drained of assets, Shapiro said.
The Rochester city school district has earned another disturbing distinction. Only 9 percent of the district’s black males who were eligible graduated in the 2009 to 2010 school year, according to a recent report. Rochester graduated the lowest percentage of black and Latino male students of any district in the country, behind Detroit, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. | The Schott 50 State Report on Public Education and Black Males 2012, an analysis of graduation rates, was released by the Schott Foundation for Public Education. | “The necessary systemic reforms and investments to significantly improve black male outcomes and to provide them with a fair and substantive opportunity to learn have been at a painstakingly slow pace or not at all,” the report says. | The situation for Latino males is equally grim. Rochester graduated only 10 percent of its Latino males in 2009 to 2010, the report says. | But district superintendent Bolgen Vargas disputes the report’s finding. District data shows that 42 percent of eligible black males and 43 percent of eligible Latino males graduated in 2010, he says. Vargas says he doesn’t have an explanation for the disparity in numbers.
Rapidly rising costs of health care, higher education, and housing have converged to levels that are increasingly out of reach for many middle-class families, he said. This is not what Stephen Shapiro. PROVIDED PHOTO most Americans were expecting, Shapiro said, and it’s forcing many to make decisions that entomb them in lifelong, unsustainable debt. College students, for example, often graduate with mountainous debt, limited job prospects, and no reprieve. “Creating a middle-class life and passing it on was the promise, but Americans are increasingly getting that this is not in the cards,” Shapiro said. The emergence of America’s zombie class can be seen in the difference between the zombie films of the 1950’s and those in the 1990’s and 2000’s. In the early films, zombies were feared. In the more recent films, they’re often recognized and even welcomed, Shapiro said.

DEVELOPMENT | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Makeover for mayor’s mansion Ozzy Arroyo’s plans for the Child mansion in Rochester are nearly as grand as the building itself. He envisions a premiere event space, a café and catering operation to help young people begin culinary careers, and a realityshow-type setting for brides on their big day — the latter inspired by the spectacle and grandeur of the wedding of young British royals Will and Kate. “I think Ozzy’s goal is to do the building justice and to do it right,” says Caitlin Meives, preservation planner with the Landmark Society of Western New York. “I think it’s got great potential.” The Greek Revival mansion on South Washington Street was built circa 1835 for Rochester’s first mayor, Jonathan Child. With its elevated view of the canal which once ran through the city, imposing Corinthian columns, and elaborate, intricate design, the mansion was derisively labeled “Child’s folly” by the former mayor’s contemporaries, Meives says. “He was like the Trump of his time, and this was his Trump Tower,” Arroyo says. Since Child’s era, the mansion has had a revolving door of owners and uses. It has been a home, church, office, two restaurants, and a boarding house — not in that order. The boarding house was called “The Pillars,” a name Arroyo borrowed for the mansion’s latest incarnation. Following three months of repairs, “Rochester Pillars” will host its first event, a corporate gathering, in about a week. Meives says that given the growing interest in downtown, it seems like the right time for a project like Rochester Pillars, which combines preservation and community service, to take off. “This is not just an important piece of architecture and history,” she says. “It’s

an important contributor to the economy of downtown.”
weddings booked there — from day-of preparations to the event itself. It would also be streamed live for family and friends unable to attend. But Arroyo and his team are clearly most excited about the café and catering business, which will be run by graduates of the culinary arts program at East High School. “It’s their business. They’ll run the show,” says Jeff Christiano, a chef and culinary arts teacher at East’s Academy of Hospitality and Tourism. “They’ll learn to make it profitable or suffer the consequences if they don’t. They’ve got to learn from their business mistakes.”
The graduates will run a small café inside the mansion and cater events held on the grounds, including wedding receptions. They’ll set their own salaries, create their own menus, do inventory, and everything else that goes into running a restaurant. “I’m looking to grab as much experience as I can,” says Dakarai McBean, a 2009 East High graduate who is currently in culinary school. “I’m always in the kitchen. I love to cook and I love to eat. I’m drawn to [cooking] and it is drawn to me.” McBean is one of three East High grads initially involved in Rochester Pillars. Christiano says the ultimate goal is for the young people to get real-world work experience at the mansion, and then go off and work in their own restaurants. “We’re going to build a little army in the city of restaurant owners,” he says.
“Parents are voting with the bus system,” White says. “We’re seeing black and brown flight away from these schools. What we need to do is strengthen them rather than encourage parents to keep abandoning them.” Allowing parents to choose outside their zone has turned other schools into catchalls for the lowest performing students, White says. Some of the funds needed to turn around failing schools might be obtained through more equitable funding among
the schools, he says. But equitable funding was extremely controversial when Brizard attempted it. “It’s a little bit different,” White says. “We’re not talking about redistributing resources. At the very least, a comparative study [of the schools] would be a good launching pad for an important conversation we need to have.” And there’s also the increasing cost of transportation. When students are bused across town, the district has to spend more

That army will be a network for East High culinary graduates in the future, Christiano says — people who can give them advice and help them find jobs.

Even though parents are supposed to choose a school within designated zones, they are increasingly choosing schools outside those zones, according to district data. (District officials do not enforce the school choice program.) And parents are basing their selection on more than the quality of the school, White says. They are picking schools that will allow their children to be bused rather than walk to school through unsafe neighborhoods. City

Climate’s politics problem ENVIRONMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE
This is the last installment in a recurring series.
When it comes to climate change and public policy, three areas are virtually inseparable: the economy, energy, and politics. Often, the mix is not productive. Climate is a system, and like any system one small alteration can mean larger changes down the line. Even small increases in average temperature can result in changes to things like precipitation patterns, which in turn can have economic effects. Researchers are noticing long-term shifts in weather patterns, and they project that extreme weather — powerful storms, downpours, short-term drought — will occur more often. Each year, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases. And global temperatures are averaging about 1 degree Fahrenheit higher than the historical baseline. Despite all this, a comprehensive national climate change policy remains absent. “I think the main thing that needs to be addressed is that we really need to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy as quickly as possible,” says Linda Isaacson Fedele, chair of the Sierra Club’s Rochester chapter. The last attempt to get a climate bill through Congress was in 2008 and 2009. The legislation was a priority of President Barack Obama, yet Congressional Democratic leaders couldn’t even solidify support within the party. Among the obstacles were coal-state representatives and senators who echoed the fossil fuel industry’s argument that limiting emissions would be too costly. The cap and trade bill, as it was commonly known, died after a long slog, at a point where it had been picked apart and watered down. Emissions growth and long-term changes in climate have costs and consequences. New York’s dairy industry, which is poised for growth due to a boom in yogurt factories, offers one example. Cows produce less milk when it’s hot, and a changing climate could mean more heat waves. A climate study released last year by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority said that, as early as next decade, dairy farmers could suffer heat-related losses of approximately $20 million a year. But the
losses could be blunted if farmers take steps to adapt, such as installing cooling systems in their barns. Absent federal action, nine Northeastern and New England states banded together to form the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. The program puts a regional cap on carbon emissions from power plants and creates an emissions allowance trading system. The program is stabilizing and will ultimately reduce carbon emissions. “It was set up to show the federal government that this could be done, and as sort of a prelude to federal action,” which never happened, says Dan Hendrick, spokesperson for the New York League of Conservation Voters. The current decade has seen a rapid uptick in severe and unusual weather. Before 2012, who really knew what a derecho was? For the record, it’s a line of strong, fast-moving thunderstorms and this summer, East Coast states experienced several. In the Midwest, corn crops were scorched under a prolonged heat wave and drought. And in the West, which suffered the same hot, dry conditions as the Midwest, wildfires burned more acres of land than any other year on record. That’s just one year’s worth of weather. Increasingly, climate-related disasters and challenges will require lawmakers’ attention. If lawmakers don’t develop comprehensive plans, they’ll have to react event by event. And that leaves unaddressed the underlying cause: the large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases generated by human activities. Cheap fossil fuels are a big part of the
energy-climate problem in the US and globally. Power plants run on them, they fuel automobiles, and certain industries rely on

them, either as fuels or as product ingredients. Coal, natural gas, and petroleum have a cost advantage because industry grew up around them, says the Sierra Club’s Isaacson Fedele. To counter that advantage, the country needs to build-up infrastructure for renewables, she says. The country’s dependence on fossil fuels is driving the boom in natural gas extraction from deep shale formations. The energy companies knew about natural gas reservoirs in shale formations for decades, but accessing the gas was cost prohibitive. But prices for natural gas have increased, making the extraction more cost-effective. Shale drilling The United States needs to transition away from fossil fuels and toward companies use a controversial technique to renewables, says Linda Isaacson Fedele, chair of the Sierra Club’s Rochester chapter.

Yet federal and state governments have In another report, Common Cause New been slow to regulate or restrict fracking, York — the statewide chapter — said that the and money and industry influence may gas industry spent $1.6 million lobbying New play a role. Last year, the good-government York lawmakers in 2010. State officials are group Common Cause issued several reports
conducting a lengthy environmental review of high-volume fracking in shale formations, and meanwhile, fracking is on hold. But over the summer, the New York Times reported that the Cuomo administration is considering a plan to allow fracking in some Southern Tier counties, as long as the affected communities approved the drilling. Republican and Democratic elected officials — including President Barack Obama — have expressed support for increased natural gas drilling. Many see natural gas as a preferable alternative to coal, since burning it causes fewer objectionable emissions. But a 2010 study by Cornell University Professor Robert Howarth said that natural gas extracted through fracking is not much better from a climate perspective than coal. The reasons: fossil fuels are used in the drilling process and to transport the gas, and methane could potentially leak from wells and pipelines. Companies and politicians fighting against
carbon regulations often invoke the cost of complying and the potential for higher energy costs. And many display and promote skepticism of man-made climate change, if not flat-out denial. There may be costs associated with cutting fossil fuel emissions, but that’s not entirely undesirable. Approaches like a cap and trade program or a simple carbon tax are meant to put a price on the carbon dioxide spewed into the air. The idea is to create a disincentive to pollute. And proceeds from something like a tax can be reinvested into efficiency efforts, technology development, and consumer energy bill assistance. Climate change has costs of its own, across many economic areas. Farmers could see

crop threats from new insect pests. And local governments may have to upgrade stormwater systems to cope with heavier, more frequent downpours, to cite two examples. The NYSERDA report says that the potential for more frequent, more intense heat waves could increase summertime peak power demands — more people may turn to air conditioning to cope. Demand spikes could also mean spikes in the price of electricity. (As far as power infrastructure goes, the effect of long-term weather trends on electricity demand is just one of many factors, including industry and population shifts, that energy companies consider when planning infrastructure investments.) How the federal government responds to
climate change issues will depend in part on who’s in the White House. Democratic President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney have substantially different attitudes about climate change. Consider the candidates’ acceptance speeches at their respective conventions. Both backed a mix of fossil fuels, nuclear power, and renewables to meet the country’s energy needs, though Obama emphasized investment in renewables. During his convention speech, Obama touted new vehicle fuel-efficiency standards, which will lower vehicle-related carbon dioxide emissions. And the Environmental Protection Agency, during Obama’s administration, issued rules to limit carbon dioxide emissions from new power plants. Romney cynically dismissed Obama’s push to lower carbon emissions. “President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the

planet,” Romney said, according to NPR’s transcript of the speech. “My promise is to help you and your family.” The House and Senate have a role to play, too. But a polarized Congress may have trouble establishing federal policies to address climate-related disasters. Current debate over a five-year farm bill, which includes funding for drought- and disaster-relief programs, illustrates that potential. The Senate passed a five-year bill, but the House version is stalled. Speaker John Boehner, a Republican, has said he won’t bring the $900 billion bill to a vote until after the November election.
But last week, The Hill newspaper reported that a bipartisan coalition of House members from “farm-heavy districts” is trying to force a vote. Grassroots advocacy on specific issues, including putting local pressure on lawmakers, may ultimately be the best way to advance policies that address climate change or aspects of it, Hendrick says. “It really helps to frame it in different terms instead of vague climate change,” Hendrick says.

All you had to do was look out at the crowd in Manhattan Square Park on the evening of Thursday, September 20, to know that Rochester had embraced the Fringe. According to the Rochester Police Department, more than 6000 people packed the downtown venue to watch Bandaloop, the aerial dance troupe, perform its 20-minute set on the side of the 21-story One HSBC Plaza. The group was one of three high-profile headliners for the inaugural First Niagara Rochester Fringe Festival, which ran September 19-23. And while that draw was impressive, it was only part of the success story of the festival, which has already announced that it will return next year. On Monday, festival organizers announced an estimated attendance of 33,000 over the five-day event — more than double their initial attendance projections of 15,000. So the turnout for Bandaloop is a big deal (the remaining headliners, comedian Patton Oswalt and the Harlem Gospel Choir, also sold well at Kodak Hall), but that means that the remaining figures came from the 20-plus venues that made up the heart of Fringe. These locations, including Bernunzio’s Uptown Music, The Little Theatre, Blackfriars, and Montage Music Hall, programmed and staged more than 100 performances of a variety of shows: visual art, music, dance, theater, family entertainment. Many of the acts featured local talent, some with original productions created just for the festival. And in many cases, those acts were embraced by the crowds. So much so that at several venues — including Geva Theatre Nextstage, Writers & Books, and RAPA’s East End Theatre — people had to be turned away because their spaces were packed to capacity. Almost all of the venues I spoke to throughout the festival were pleased or
downright thrilled with the traffic coming through their doors, especially given the relatively modest pre-sale tickets for many shows. (Because of their multi-program nature, Fringe festivals — there are more than 200 worldwide — traditionally trade primarily in walk-up ticket sales, Rochester Fringe Festival Producer Erica Fee says.) “We received very, very positive reports back from the venues,” Fee said on Monday. “Some of the shows sold beyond their wildest dreams. Producing any kind of festival like this, it’s a white-knuckle ride. You see ticket reports before, you don’t know how it’s going to turn out. It’s been that way across the board since the recession: people buy tickets at the last moment. Walk-ups were huge.” Some shows that had sold just a few tickets prior to the festival ended up selling out, Fee said. One of the most interesting aspects of the festival that City’s cultural critics noticed was the diversity in attendees, especially when it came to age. On Saturday night, I attended two shows that were absolutely packed with college-age students, who were filling downtown theaters after 10 p.m. to watch theater or improv comedy. In terms of what didn’t work, we noticed that Fringe venues on Thursday night after Bandaloop were fairly dead, and the outdoor stage on Gibbs Street also had spotty attendance throughout the weekend. Regarding the latter, Fee said that weather was certainly a factor — people wanted to be inside — but that people came out to Gibbs Street for certain shows, like the free Gospel Sunday programming, which she says drew more than 1000 people. One of the advisors for the festival was Xela Batchelder, who has a PhD in Fringe festivals from Ohio State University, produced shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland,

City Newspaper’s culture critics saw a total of 46 performances over the course of Rochester Fringe’s five days. (Full coverage is at rochestercitynewspaper.com.) Here are their top acts. Casey Carlsen, Dance Writer: My favorite was PUSH Physical Theatre, which performed at the TheatreROCS Stage at Xerox Auditorium. Its work was the most emotionally powerful that I saw all weekend, especially the piece “Web.” Plus, during Bandaloop they were out and about, sort of Fringe-ing, miming really slow, stepping. They really seemed like an integral part of the festival. Willie Clark, Music Editor: I’ll give it to “Breakdown: Dance/Sound,” featuring BIODANCE and Sound ExChange at Christ Church, specifically the instance where the dancers popped out of the audience (perhaps the most Fringe-y moment of the festival to me). I’ve also added The Great Chernesky (performed at Java’s) and Matt Griffo (Geva Theatre Nextstage) to my must-buy-CD list. Lillian Dickerson, Editorial Intern: I didn’t blog about it, but the Harlem Gospel Choir’s performance at Kodak Hall really blew me

recently attended the World Fringe Congress. To Batchelder, the turnout for Rochester Fringe’s first year was “amazing.” “A lot of times in your first year,” Batchelder says, a Fringe festival “is just performers going to each other’s plays. Rochester got a lot of community support before it even started. There were a large numbers of arts organizations involved, lots of community people going, and sell-out shows in the first year. The whole community was behind it, and a lot of people didn’t know what a Fringe festival was. It’s one of the bigger from-the-start festivals that I’ve researched. This community should be proud.” Fee confirmed that the Rochester Fringe Festival will return for a second year, and that it will expand beyond five days. She said that dates will be announced after the Fringe board of directors meets, and everyone takes a nap.
away. The performers were extraordinarily talented and engaged with the audience. They repeatedly called on us to stand up, dance, and sing with them. I had a blast. Rebecca Rafferty, Art Critic: I loved Core Project Chicago’s “The Dust” at RAPA’s East End Theatre and “Solitude of Self: The Journey of Elizabeth Cady Stanton,” a one-woman show written and performed by local actress Patricia Lewis at Blackfriars. Eric Rezsnyak, Features Editor: If I had to pick one, I would give it to “Rules and Regulations” at Writers & Books. This was a total shocker for me — I went to it almost on a whim — but the multidisciplinary piece with words by Caedra Scott-Flaherty, dance by Lauren Hale Biniaris, and music by local composer rachMiel had me riveted from start to end. The fact that the piece even existed (the trio had never been in the same room prior to last week, all worked independently of one another, and scrapped their initial presentation plan last Friday) was a miracle. This, to me, is what Fringe was all about.

With her percussive, finger-style attack and lonesome wail, the now 62-year-old Block has remained true to that sound and visceral energy, incorporating her own story and femininity for added fire and intensity. Block burns blue, and you will too. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

threw himself down a very bizarre bunny hole a while ago, and has come out of it dragging an oversized load of weird and wacky with him. His infectious, and ultimately creepy, brand of freaky folk music falls is almost impossible to categorize. Liam’s Vaudeville-esque vocal style is crooned over multiple layers of live-looped instruments (i.e. Keller Williams or Andrew Bird). Trombones, acoustic guitars, banjos, coronets, and of course an accordion combine to produce a compelling cadence that will make you scratch your head, tap your toes, and slap your knees. Dear Rabbit is a one-man band of gypsies whose peripatetic pitch is sure to leave you feeling possessed. — BY DAVID YOCKEL, JR.

Pete Anderson played Tuesday, September 18, at Abilene. PHOTO BY FRANK DE BLASE
Stuffed with confetti [ review ] by frank de blase
I first saw Pete Anderson with honkytonk savior Dwight Yoakam some 25 years ago at the Melody Fair Theater in Tonawanda. It was the closest I’d ever come to seeing Elvis-type hysteria sweep over a crowd. Besides Yoakam’s nasally honk and hip shake, there was Anderson’s twang-a-plenty Telecaster driving the truck over the cliff, and the females over the edge. It seems Anderson has forsaken the magnificent for the mediocre as he pulled out a set of standard blues at Abilene last Tuesday night. Don’t get me wrong, Anderson’s still a great guitar player, I just had a point of reference I was hoping to re-visit as opposed to sitting around waiting for nearly an hour as the band set up. Teressa Wilcox has always been a mix of talent and potential as she weaved in and out of the singersongwriter-rocker scene. Well, with the aid of a fantastic band (and a kicky new ‘do), Wilcox has surpassed her potential. Operating in more of
a rock vein with this well-rehearsed outfit, the songs still stand loud and proud amidst the dynamic treatment. Wilcox and her band blew my head off Thursday night at Sticky Lips Juke Joint and handed it back to me stuffed with confetti. Traveling Scottish troubadour Jim Malcolm offered a pleasant and endearing two-set trip through selfdeprecation, love, empowerment, and the wonders of being the father to a teenage girl. His music was uncluttered and beautiful as he cajoled and chided and crooned to the lot at Lovin’ Cup Thursday night. Then this weekend I took in a bunch of shows as part of the inaugural Rochester Fringe Festival, including sets by My Plastic Sun, Moho Collective, and the Harlem Gospel Choir.

Classical Bach to life, Bach to reality “Bach and the Organ” 2012 Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative Festival Thursday, September 27-Tuesday, October 2 Various venues ESM.Rochester.edu/EROI [ PREVIEW ] BY PALOMA CAPANNA
For Professor David Higgs of the Eastman School of Music, Bach is a genius that sets his pulse a flutter. “Bach’s genius transcends time,” says Higgs. “The question of why Bach’s music has survived the centuries is a big one. I’m not sure I can find the words to express ‘why.’” Higgs’s enthusiasm for Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) makes him a lightning rod for the upcoming multiday, international conference “Bach and the Organ,” jointly presented by the Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative and the
American Bach Society on September 27-30 at the Eastman School of Music. Concerts will take place every day at three primary locations. The inaugural concert of the conference is being performed by Eastman faculty Hans Davidsson, William Porter, and Higgs at Christ Church. It is to be a “reconstruction” of Felix Mendelssohn’s organ concert of Bach’s music in Leipzig, German in 1840. Mendelssohn (18091847) was, like Bach, a German composer, pianist, and organist, credited with reviving interest in the music of Bach. “Mendelssohn saw when he was living in Leipzig [German] that there was no formal appreciation for Bach, so he thought there should be a statue to commemorate that Bach spent so many years there at the Thomaskirsche [St. Thomas Church],” says Higgs. “Mendelssohn raised the money performing a concert and the statue of Bach still stands.” The program of the 1840 concert is available. Within the program, there were two places that Mendelssohn improvised — one a short passage, one a major section of 10 to 15 minutes in length. The recreation of Mendelssohn’s improvisation, which was not transcribed, became a matter of scholarly research. Higgs explains that part of the recreation process was to study the concert review, written by none other than composer Robert
Schumann. Schumann’s review, along with other narratives, was considered in relationship to the style and practices of that time to arrive at the improvisations that Porter will include in his performance. Another aspect of the concert recreation that is of interest is that Higgs, Porter, and Davidsson will play Bach “at the general performance level used today,” according to Higgs. Higgs explained that performance styles change over time. “Ever since Bach died, people have been playing his music according to the fashion of music of the time,” says Higgs. He cites as an example that even when Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach transcribed some of his father’s music after his death, CPE Bach added notes and flourishes to it to make it “a little more palatable to the common taste just 20 years after his father’s death.” “Mendelssohn did the same thing,” says Higgs, “he rearranged some of Bach’s music to suit his own taste — this was a time in the 19th century when one of the fashions was to take someone else’s music as the basis to add your own mark to it.” Higgs claims that a person could actually use performances of Bach’s music across the centuries as a kind of sociological reflection of culture, leading to our current taste of people wanting to recreate the original sounds as made by the composer. That’s where the Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative comes into play. When George Eastman founded the Eastman
School of Music in 1921, he brought his love of organ music to its very foundations, equipping the school with 14 practice pipe organs. It was actually one of the first schools in the world to have practice organs. Now, EROI either imports or recreates prototypical instruments from many
schools of organ playing. There are two organs already installed through EROI: the Italian Baroque organ at the Memorial Art Gallery, which includes parts dating to the 1600’s; and the Craighead-Saunders organ at Christ Church, which is a scientific recreation of an organ from 1776. This fall, a third organ will enter the collection, a Hook & Hastings Organ Opus 1573, an American romantic organ from 1892, with parts dating to the 1860’s, which has already arrived at Christ Church. Higgs says that the American Bach Society thought these instruments would be a great focus and locus for its biennial conference, held in conjunction with the annual EROI Festival. The conference is sold out to more than 200 of the world’s leading scholars of Bach. “The list of attendees is like a Who’s Who of Bach studies around the globe,” says Higgs. “It’s quite a coup for something of this magnitude to be in Rochester.” In addition to the concert performances, the conference will include four days of papers presented by scholars on topics from “The Students of Bach — the Curious Case of Matthias Sojka” to “Did J.S. Bach Write Organ Concertos?” Scholarship of Bach’s work also takes place right here in Rochester, including through the holdings at the Sibley Music Library at Eastman School of Music. Dan Zager, associate dean and head librarian at the Sibley Music Library describes the library’s most important Bach holding as the third part of the “Clavier-übung” from 1739. The edition at Sibley also contains a pen-and-ink note, Zager says, that changes the printed dedication from “for the delight of the mind” to “for the delight of the eye and the offense of the ear.” The piece will be performed on Sunday pm at

Sacred Heart Cathedral by organist Robert Bates. (See the sidebar for a full list of EROI Festival concerts.) “We have to remember that in 1737, shortly before this was published, Bach was being criticized in print as being way too complex,” says Zager. “The pen-and-ink notation gives us this little clue as to how the musical enlightenment was playing itself out in Germany as aesthetic values were beginning to challenge counterpoint with the kind of melody-centered music that we identify with the Baroque.” For Rochestarians, we once again can enjoy the bounty of being home to the Eastman School of Music and the riches of its concert programming. As Higgs puts it: “There may be a few places in Europe where you can find this [grouping of organs], but Eastman is really an international place for performance, scholarship, and organ building.”

Alt-Country | Nick Young
Singer-songwriter Nick Young’s sense of country music, along with his power-pop hooks, makes him a comfortable fit with the alt-country crowd. There’s southern guitar-rock jangle on some tunes and an indie-rock lilt to Young’s voice that suggests a north of the Mason-Dixon vibe. Either way, Young’s debut CD “Truth Is” (2010) recorded in Nashville with industry heavyweights including pedal-steel-guitar player Al Perkins (Bob Dylan, Gram Parsons) paints the Rochester native as a talented and passionate songwriter. Young’s gift is our listening pleasure. Ghost Country opens.

ELECTRONIC/DANCE | Flosstradamus
Flosstradamus has elevated the juke/footwork subgenre of electronic dance music from Second City-underground-dance competitions and “Ghetto House” parties to the stages at major college campuses, nightclubs, and huge music festivals, such as Lollapalooza, SXSW, and Coachella. Chicago-based DJs J2K (Josh Young) and Autobot (Curt Cameruci) have spent the last eight years generating groundbreaking original grooves as well as remixing songs by hit artists as disparate as Bloc Party (“Mercury”) and Lil’ Jon (“Act A Fool”). This dentally denoted duo has released a slew of such re-“visions,” eight singles, and three EPs, the most recent of which is this year’s “Jubilation 2.0.” The record is aptly named, because these two have redefined fun on the dance floor with their savage beats and highly-energetic live performances. DJ Sliink also performs. Flosstradamus performs Sunday, September 30, 9 p.m. at Pearl Night Club, 349 East Ave. $12. 325-5660. — BY DAVID YOCKEL, JR. Fred Costello & Roger Eckers Jazz Duo.

Theater
Skip Greer and Brigitt Markusfeld in “You Can’t Take it With You,” now on stage at Geva Theatre. PHOTO BY KEN HUTH
Hard to take “You Can’t Take it With You” Through October 7 Geva Theatre Center, 75 Woodbury Blvd. Tickets start at $25 | 232-4382, gevatheatre.org [ REVIEW ] by Michael Lasser
I’d have liked to join in the congratulatory chorus for Geva Theater Center’s 40th anniversary season, especially when it is beginning its season with a great American family comedy, George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart’s 1937 Pulitzer Prize-winning “You Can’t Take It with You.” A deeply warm, graceful, and funny play about an eccentric family whose members march to their own drummers, the play needs to sparkle with a kind of homely jauntiness that sustains Grandpa Martin Vanderhof and his extended family of nearly a dozen eccentric souls. They find a welcoming home in his fusty old house, surviving on corn flakes
and flourishing because they are free to do whatever makes them happy. Its idiosyncratic combination of wackiness and tenderness made it an uplifting play for audiences when it was new in the Great Depression, and it is a splendid choice for the same reason in 2012. Although the play almost never raises its voice, its characters must embrace their sweet lunacy with perfect clarity and conviction; it’s who each of them is. Yet the production at Geva, directed by Mark Cuddy, felt tepid and flat. Even its fireworks display just before the intermission needed a lacing of showmanship. Grandpa spends his days going to commencements and circuses — and caring deeply about those under his roof — but he also embodies the spirit of both the family and the play. Whoever plays him must with quiet surety carry the entire play forward. Therein lies the problem. Robert Vaughn, aged 79 and still best known for the role of Napoleon Solo on the stylized TV spy show from the 1960’s, “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” lacks the vitality Grandpa needs. With
26 City september 26 - october 2, 2012
his shock of white hair and wearing a rumpled seersucker suit, he certainly looks the part. Most of the time, though, he sits in a large armchair center stage, speaking barely audibly, fumbling lines occasionally (on opening night), and doing little to provide momentum or rhythm, or the grace and warmth I previously mentioned. On the few occasions when he has to stand and move to deliver a major set speech, the production picks up for a few minutes, but then he sits back down. He often looks like a barely engaged observer. The malaise spreads across Scenic
Designer Bill Clarke’s open set that includes the house’s living and dining rooms. The periodic family dinners — especially the one at the end — should be moving scenes that restore the family and reassure the audience. But in this production they feel like little more than a bunch of people sitting down to eat. Even Grandpa’s eccentric way of saying grace felt more or less desultory. The production of this deeply felt play lacked emotional connection at its core.
The play has two major plot lines on which to hang the family’s quirks. The Sycamores’ “normal” daughter, Alice, wants to marry the son of her wealthy, conventional boss. The two families meet in the one of the play’s best scenes, made successful largely through the funny, nuanced performances by Peggy Cosgrove and Robert Rutland as Alice’s prospective in-laws. The second story concerns the pursuit of Grandpa by the IRS and his protection of his granddaughter Essie’s husband from zealous federal agents. What’s essential about “You Can’t Take It with You” is its Americanism. Kaufman and Hart have written a Broadway comedy that affirms the nation’s deepest ideals. The characters may not be Thomas Jefferson or Henry David Thoreau, but they are devoted to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” with a singular intuitive idealism. Granddaughter Essie — overweight, married, and young — makes candy to sell and loves her decent but not very bright husband, but mainly she dances. A few steps across a room are never anything less than a series of sweetly absurd entrechats, arabesques, spins, and bends. Melissa Rain Anderson is lovable and graceful and enchantingly funny. Most of the rest of the cast is not. Brigitt Markusfeld as daughter Penny, a slightly goofy undiscovered (and probably talentless) playwright and painter; Ray Falah as Mr. De Pinna, the ice man who made a delivery eight years ago and stayed; and Skip Greer as Paul Sycamore, Penny’s husband who, with Mr. De Pinna’s help, makes fireworks in the cellar, are dutiful rather than inspired. Funny lines fall flat and the production inches forward with what little momentum it can muster. This all-American play should, in its way, be as stirring and satisfying as a piece of music by John Philip Sousa, Irving Berlin, or Bruce Springsteen, but its flag is badly in need of an animating breeze.

DANCE | Royal Drummers and Dancers of Burundi
Drums serve not only as the heartbeat of music, but echo our own heartbeats, providing an irresistible rhythm that moves us emotionally, physically, and sometimes even provides the soundtrack to our continued genesis. Considered to be one of the greatest percussion ensembles in the world, the Royal Drummers and Dancers of Burundi have passed their tradition from father to son for centuries. Though its origins are mysterious, the music played a part in ceremonies and rites of passage in their central African homeland, such as birth, funerals, and the enthronement of kings. The Royal Drummers have toured the world since the 1960’s, playing a key role in the genesis of world music. On Saturday, September 29, 8 p.m., Nazareth College Arts Center (4245 East Ave.) will present the Royal Drummers and Dancers of Burundi in the Callahan Theater. The audience will be enthralled by the woven rhythms of four types of handmade drums accompanied by solo and choreographed dances and swirling, colorful garments. Tickets to the performance cost $40-$70; to purchase or for more information, call 389-2170, or visit artscenter.naz.edu. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY the vivid memories of a fervent belief in the likes of Santa and Frankenstein, the tragic loss of that vibrant reality and on occasion my revulsion with the reality of today.

LUNCH & DINNER DAILY Outside Dining in our sunken courtyard FESTIVALS | Fall Festivals
One of my favorite things about fall is all the rich flavors that accompany it. If there’s an apple- or pumpkin-themed recipe out there somewhere that I haven’t tried yet, I’d be shocked. For all the lovers of fall flavors out there, this weekend is the prime time to sample all of them by visiting various area festivals.
IN ROCHESTER’S EAST END
120 East Avenue 325-3663
Apple aficionados (I’m not talking about iPhone junkies) should check out the Hilton Apple Fest (based around West Avenue in Hilton) on Saturday, September 29, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, September 30, 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. In addition to many tasty apple treats, the festival will feature an apple pie contest, various crafters, live bands and entertainment, and a car show. Free admission. For more information, visit hiltonapplefest.org. After the Apple Fest, move on to the next quintessential fall flavor at the Pumpkin Harvest Festival at Longacre Farms (1342 Eddy Road, Macedon).

The festival runs both Saturday and Sunday, with the Moonlight Maze on Saturday 5-9 p.m. Admission $8-$10. For more information, visit longacrefarms.com. Apples, pumpkins — why choose between the two? Instead, savor both at the AppleUmpkin Fest on NYS Route 19 in Wyoming. Entertainment ranges from live music to jugglers, plus an AppleUmpkin bake-off. The festival runs from 10 a.m.5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, free admission. Parking $5/car. For more information, visit appleumpkin.com.

LITERATURE | Banned Books Week
Efforts to control people come in many forms, and not all are overt, physical oppression. Throughout history, various powers have tried to cut off access to information or discussion of said information, whether the subject was criticism of a particular ruling group, or content considered too risqué for the masses. This censorship has at times affected our access to print media, and the targets of censorship are too often young, developing minds. According to the American Library Association, hundreds of books are removed from or challenged in school libraries each year, and the organization estimates that 70 percent to 80 percent of such cases are never reported. Banned Books Week falls September 30-October 6 this year. Take a moment this week to browse a surprising (and dismaying) short list of banned books that shaped America at bannedbooksweek. org, and take part in one of several events held in honor of dangerously poignant literature. Resolve to read classics and obscure books alike. Check out the kids’ titles (including “Where the Wild Things Are” and “Harry Potter”) that were pulled from shelves, read them with youngsters, and discuss what content might have been “threatening” to some groups and organizations. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Tuesdays, 9-11 p.m. Dub Land Underground, 315 Alexander St. laughriotcomedy.com.

LECTURE | “Framing the Issues: A Look at Political Cartoons”
No political or social system is perfect in its actualization; no method of organizing society will ever make everyone happy. And that’s not even covering corruption. Sometimes the most appropriate course of action in discussing our frustration with politics is the use of humor — an often powerful way to draw in an audience is by poking fun of the thing you’re criticizing. If you’re clever enough, you might keep that audience and raise some fellow citizens from apathy to action. Or, we can all just get a giggle here and there during our mutual hand-basket-to-hell ride. From the acerbically sarcastic to the plead-for-sense sensibilities, political cartoons serve as a record of where we are and, looking back, where we’ve been. On Thursday, September 27, at 7 p.m., Brighton Memorial Library (2300 Elmwood Ave.) will present “Framing the Issues: A Look at Political Cartoons,” a discussion by author Dr. Elaine Miller, on editorial cartoons as artistic and cultural expression. The event is free to attend, but registration is required: call 784-5300 or stop by the Reference Center. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Branch, 45 Cooper Rd. 336-6062. aholland@libraryweb.org.

Baseball and sentiment [ REVIEW ] by George Grella
“Trouble with the Curve” (PG-13), directed by Robert Lorenz Now playing
In his last public appearance, Clint Eastwood achieved the most memorable moment at this year’s Republican National Convention by addressing an empty chair; news stories about the event mentioned his age — 82 — unkindly insinuating that the actor perhaps exhibited signs of senility. Whatever the source of his presentation, he does seem to have forgotten his previous announcement that he was retiring from acting after “Gran Torino.”

In fact, in his new movie, “Trouble with the Curve,” Eastwood pretty much recycles that performance from “Gran Torino,” another irascible old coot out of touch with the times. In the new picture he plays Gus Lobel, a scout for the Atlanta Braves, who practices his trade the old fashioned way, analyzing not only a prospect’s talent and potential, but also judging his character, that important array of qualities often called heart. Gus refuses to use the computers that obsess so many students of the game, who couldn’t tell a catcher’s mask from a fungo bat, but prove by algebra that Ty Cobb couldn’t hit .300 today or that Jackie Robinson really didn’t belong in the major leagues. Gus’s intransigence makes him a dinosaur among his colleagues and a dubious asset to his employers, who think he’s lost his touch and plan to retire him when his contract ends. More important, Gus’s vision is deteriorating, but when his doctor tells him that he suffers

from macular degeneration, Gus rejects the diagnosis and stubbornly plows on, tripping over furniture and scraping his car against garage walls and other vehicles. As in previous Eastwood movies, like “Million Dollar Baby,” and “Gran Torino,” the emotional component of the story grows out of a relationship between the crusty old man and a young woman, in this case Gus’s daughter Mickey (Amy Adams), an ambitious attorney who blames her widowed father for a childhood and adolescence marred by his absence. Though bitter and angry, she reluctantly agrees to the request of Gus’s friend and immediate boss, Pete Klein (John Goodman), to accompany and assist her father on the last scouting trip of the season, a journey following the fortunes of a team in the low minor leagues. The script then settles into a repetitive series of quarrels between Gus and Mickey, which reveals some of the reasons for their estrangement. Another relationship develops between Mickey and a scout for the Red Sox, a former pitcher for the Sox initially signed by her father, John “The Flame” Flanagan (Justin Timberlake); his arm ruined by overuse, John hopes to get back into the game as an announcer. Before everything turns out for the best, a number of entirely predictable misunderstandings develop for the three major characters, some of them actually involving baseball, after all the nominal subject of the picture. Both the Braves and the Red Sox

seek to draft a young slugger, a thoroughly obnoxious hot dog named Bo Gentry (Joe Massingill), a choice that grows increasingly complicated for all the people in the film, including the front-office people who employ Gus. It even manages to ruin the incipient love affair between Mickey and John. “Trouble with the Curve” shows some insight into the life of a baseball scout traveling through the minor leagues in the rural South — the shabby motels and diners and bars, the loudmouth fans and country music, the stretches of tedium during meaningless games; it also suggests at least a few of the ways a scout judges a ballplayer. In addition it provides a number of postcard scenes of late summer in the lovely countryside of the Carolina League, as the leaves begin to turn and the season winds down. Given the familiar performance from Eastwood, the familiar problematic relationship between the old man and the daughter figure, the formulaic nature of the script, very little else distinguishes the movie. Perky and smart, Amy Adams performs with competence if not brilliance, but the real surprise of the picture is Justin Timberlake, who does a nice job as the former pitcher who blew out his arm. Timberlake exhibits an engaging selfdeprecation, handles some witty dialogue with an offhand grace, and hints at some of the heartbreak in the failure of a promising career, the dark side of baseball.
Much of the pre-release buzz surrounding Paul Thomas Anderson’s “The Master” had to do with whether the film, which features a mid-century guru a la L. Ron Hubbard, was going to take on Scientology. It doesn’t, which is probably a good thing, and maybe a bad thing. What we do have is an intense and ferociously acted study of the relationship between two very different men; one a charismatic leader, the other his volatile minion. But what we also have is an extremely challenging work, seemingly devoid of discipline and focus, that forces the viewer to root around in the search for meaning. Now, I’m not suggesting that art spoon-feed us the Big Ideas; I’m just saying that this impeccably crafted film might be too ambitious and too chilly to allow for any real resonance. What’s definitely a good thing, though, is that Joaquin Phoenix is back. Gaunt

and hunched over, the right side of his face contorted into a nearly imperceptible snarl, the two-time Oscar nominee plays Freddie Quell, an alcoholic WWII vet whose aimlessness leaves him ripe for the picking after he stows away on a boat adorned with twinkly lights and happy people. That’s where Freddie first encounters Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a lordly man who describes himself as “a writer, a doctor, a nuclear physicist, a theoretical philosopher.” Dodd makes no mention of “cult leader” even though he’s the head of a Scientology-like sect known as The Cause. Freddie doesn’t appear to be particularly interested in Dodd’s ideas, but he warms to the notion of being the man’s “guinea pig and protegé.” Mostly Freddie just channels an often feral nature into his unofficial role as Dodd’s enforcer, beating consensus into nonbelievers despite the concerns of both Dodd and his deceptively demure wife, Peggy (Amy Adams). But as he crisscrosses the country with The Cause and its acolytes, conflict, naturally, arises whenever one man fails to live up to the other’s expectations. (“He’s making it up as he goes along,” says Dodd’s son Val, played by the perfectly cast Jesse Plemons.) Freddie is the viewer’s ostensible surrogate and our guide into the Dodds’ world, but he’s too busy wrestling his own demons to give us any tangible insight, like why so many are drawn to Dodd’s message and even why Freddie sticks around. “The Master” couldn’t be more gorgeous, as Romanian cinematographer Mihai Malaimare Jr. lends an earthbound beauty to images as diverse as a dusty desert, the Golden Gate Bridge at twilight, or a simple two-person conversation. The sights are gilded with an elegantly cacophonous score by Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood, who also did the music for Anderson’s previous film, the Oscar-winning “There Will Be Blood.” Touching upon themes
like postwar ennui and religion’s potentially troubling influence, Anderson nonetheless anchors “The Master” in his recurring theme that explores the intricacies of the father-son connection. But we’re unable to get too close to these unlikable men, making investment in their fates tough. The performances, however, are towering, and reason enough to see “The Master.” Hoffman, who has made five features with Anderson, has the less-showy part, playing a powerful, self-possessed man in complete control... until he isn’t. And between his physical mannerisms and wild-card outbursts, Phoenix comes very close to overacting, but his authentic unpredictability sells it. (The scenes between the two, especially the “processing interlude,” are veritable master classes.) Yet Adams is this film’s MVP, earning a place among her generation’s best whether she’s oh-so-subtly morphing from sweet wife to protective tigress, or giving her husband the most autocratic handjob in cinema history. It’s one of the best films I’ve seen all year,
but the simple premise of Craig Zobel’s riveting “Compliance” practically demands that I say as little as possible in order to preserve its impact. The title card reads “Inspired by true events” before it drops us into a nondescript Ohio fast-food joint where Becky (Dreama Walker) gets hauled into the office once her mousy but officious boss Sandra (the astonishing Ann Dowd) fields a phone call from a man who identifies himself as Officer Daniels (Pat Healy). Becky has been accused of theft, and since the cop apparently can’t get over there right away, he instructs Sandra in how to go about the investigation. What follows is a deftly paced and absolutely unsettling depiction of a mentality that we know all too well. Says Sandra in the aftermath: “I was doing what I thought was the right thing.” Photo courtesy Photofest
COMPLIANCE
Friday, Sept. 28, 8 p.m. The disturbing true story of a prank call delivered to a fast food restaurant comes to life in Craig Zobel’s (The Great World of Sound) controversial new film. Night manager Sandra — convinced that the police have fingered one of her employees — falls victim to the persuasive and commanding voice on the phone. Zobel’s provocative film grimly depicts human readiness to obey higher authority. (Craig Zobel, US 2012, 90 min.)

Saturday, Sept. 29, 8 p.m.; Sunday, Sept. 30, 2 p.m. This winner of four Oscars® (including Best Picture) strikes the perfect balance between flat-out comedy and genuine pathos. It may also be Allen’s finest film. He stars as a neurotic Jewish comedian who obsesses over what went wrong in his relationship with a kooky shiksa (Diane Keaton, Allen’s real-life ex). The autobiographical elements have been widely noted but, according to Allen, greatly exaggerated. (Woody Allen, US 1977, 93 min.)

A Peek into the Past in Park Ave 255 Berkeley Street Large, beautiful homes full of charm and historic details abound in the in-demand, and walkable Park Avenue neighborhood, however, a home that’s charming, well maintained and has an in-ground pool in the city is totally special and completely unique! Located on quiet and serene Berkeley Street, number 255 exemplifies the high degree of maintenance and pride owners take in their homes on this street. This city retreat still offers accessibility and convenience, located just minutes from I-490. The newly painted exterior of the Colonial Revival home and manicured gardens welcome you to the porch, through the front door onto the original tile foyer floor. Across the hall behind the original pocket doors a spacious dining room awaits with many historic details including the chandelier, wood floors, beams and stunning molding. A door at the rear exits into the butler’s pantry that leads into the kitchen. With the original tin ceiling and delightful details, like the functioning maid’s bells and historic thermostat, the kitchen blends history with modern conveniences and fixtures like the chef’s range. From the kitchen, both the fully fenced backyard and basement can be accessed. The updated back porch leads to the two-car garage, patio areas and pool. The large basement has an expansive storage area, the home’s original laundry tubs, and half bath.
Past the small maid’s staircase, main stairway and back into the front hall is the living room. Full of light from the front bay window this inviting room features a fireplace with historic mantel and flanking built-ins with original leaded glass. Leaded glass windows above echo the decorative elements of the cabinets below. The main staircase leads to the master bedroom, a main bath, and two bedrooms, including access to the historic sleeping porch. The master bedroom at the front of the home has beautiful molding details, wood floors and a gorgeous fireplace. To either side of the fireplace are his and hers walk-in closets, amazing in a historic home! The newly updated full bath retained some historic details, like the original subway tiles in the shower. The third floor has an attic storage area, as well as a finished bedroom and full bath complete with the original claw foot tub. This beautifully maintained home in delightful Park Ave. is a home you can live in and love for years. In wonderful move-in condition but still with projects for those wanting to make it their own, the home is listed for $224,900.

Fun [ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD And What Were Y-o-u Doing at Age 14? Among the students featured in Popular Science’s September list of young inventors was Fabian Fernandez-Han, 14, of Conroe, Texas, who invented a bicycle that, when pedaled, also desalinates seawater (via reverse osmosis) from replaceable 15-gallon canisters. One hour of pedaling produces 20 gallons of drinkable water. Jack Andraka, 15, from Maryland, created a test for pancreatic cancer that is demonstrably much faster and more accurate than current diagnostics (using carbon nanotubes that can be specially activated by applications of the signature pancreatic-cancer protein, Mesothelin).
Can’t Possibly Be True
— School officials in Grand Island, Neb., told Hunter Spanjer that the way he signs his name violates the schools’ anti-weapons policy and that he’ll have to abandon it. Hunter is 3 1/2 years old, deaf, fluent in the language Signing Exact English, and uses a hand flourish as his unique signature (registered with SEE), except that officials say the flourish looks like Hunter is threatening with a weapon. At press time, Hunter’s parents were still negotiating with officials. — An unidentified mother of twins was photographed at the Thanksgiving Point Deli in Lehi, Utah, in September apparently toilet-training her toddlers at a table. Another patron witnessed the mother’s bringing in what at first glance looked like booster seats, but then the mom undid the kids’ jumpsuits and placed them on the potties. A spokesperson for the deli (located 10 miles south of Salt Lake City) said the incident was over by the time it was reported to her, but the witness put a photo on the Internet (picked up by TV stations) so that millions of people could disapprove of the mother’s parenting.
— Police in Seneca Falls, N.Y., arrested Dawn Planty in August and charged her with statutory rape. Planty came to officers’ attention when she called 911 to ask if the dispatcher knew the age of consent in the state because she had had sex with a 15year-old boy recently and wanted to clear her conscience.
Cuddly Geopolitics
— (1) The Washington Post, reporting in August the existence of a newly declassified communication between a cooperating Guantanamo Bay detainee and his lawyer, revealed that the “high-value” prisoner had, without explanation, been rewarded with a pet kitty cat. (2) On July 4, two peace activists who own a small advertising agency in Malmo, Sweden, pulled off their most audacious stunt yet by hiring a small plane to drop 800 teddy bears emblazoned with democracy-promoting messages over the capital of Belarus. The country’s strongman president, Aleksandr Lukashenko, later fired two generals for their inability to prevent the breach of the country’s airspace.
Undignified Deaths
— Ironies: (1) Five young men died in Ontario, Calif., in September when their car rolled over as many as five times after speeding through a red light at 1:45 in the morning. One of the occupants had sent Twitter messages during the ride referring to being “drunk,” “going 120 drifting corners,” and, daringly (in two messages), “YOLO” (“you only live once”). (2) A 47year-old man was accidentally strangled in June in Eastern Cape province of South Africa. He had taken to wearing his recently deceased dog’s leash around his neck in remembrance but, bending over, gotten the leash caught in a car’s axle as it drove away.
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 40 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Put equality at the top of your list when it comes to what you are looking for in a relationship. You do too much for those around you and end up being taken for granted. An unbalanced union has little to no chance of going the distance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are likely to live in the past when it comes to love. Don’t dwell on relationships that didn’t work out. Learn from your past experience, but don’t carry emotional baggage that has nothing to do with future relationships. A fresh start is required.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Have some fun, socialize, play games that challenge you and require you to interact with others, and you will discover someone who is not only compatible but looking for the same type of lifestyle as you. Open communication will lead to a commitment. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep your thoughts to yourself, and let your body language speak for you when it comes to love. Don’t be afraid to pursue someone who interests you. It’s better to find out if there is potential with someone rather than yearning for someone from afar.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your persuasive demeanor will attract plenty of attention, but you must be careful not to tease or lead someone on. Your feelings will change quickly if someone is too aggressive. Honesty is your best friend when it comes to finding true love. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Secrets aren’t conducive to developing a good relationship. Someone may want to start something with you while still in a relationship. You deserve a full-time partner, not a part-time lover. Stipulate your criteria and offer a rain check if
and when your suitor is single. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are likely to attract jealous partners. Show restraint — don’t let your flirtatious personality lead you into a precarious position. If you don’t like being treated as a possession, don’t lead anyone on who has the propensity to want to control your life. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Emotions will be difficult to control. Make sure you know what you are getting into before you take a leap of faith with someone who may not be telling the truth. Ask questions before you decide to become intimate
with someone you know little about. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be the one everybody wants to be with. Express your likes and dislikes and discuss your plans. The right person for you will express similar interests and goals, and you’ll know right then and there you’ve met your match. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t let love cost you financially, personally or emotionally. Look for someone who has as much going on as you do and the ability to step up and take over at any moment. Your perfect partner will be able to mirror you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your open and outgoing persona will attract a lot of attention. Look at all the options you are given, and pick and choose the person you feel matches your imagination and desire to experiment with life and love. A commitment can fall into place. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Too much too fast will get you into trouble. Hold back a little when it comes to love and romance. Find out where you stand and what’s actually being offered before you become too closely involved with someone who may not be looking for a long-term commitment.
