The changing music, and business, of the RPO When conductor and music director Arild Remmereit takes the podium on Friday for opening night of the 2011-2012 season of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, he will be trying to create “an orchestra of necessity, not just an orchestra for a few people,” he says. Sitting front and center in Kodak Hall will be Charlie Owens, president and CEO of the RPO — a man who will be paying as much attention to box office receipts as to the opening notes. So far, Owens says season ticket sales are going strong and are keeping pace with last year’s
season ticket sales at this same time. “I think it says a lot about the Rochester audience that they are already out of the gate, sight unseen,” says Owens. The “unseen” is a reference not only to Remmereit beginning his four-year contract as RPO conductor and music director, but also to him programming well known composers like Johann Strauss, Jr. on the same night as relatively unknown composers. Even Remmereit says, “This season is, indeed, a risky season. The challenge is to get you to come out to hear it, to get people to buy tickets for what they don’t know.”

urban journal | by mary anna towler
How we should develop the region All across the state, Governor Cuomo’s regional economic councils will be wrapping up their work soon and sending their bright ideas to Albany. The goal is to win some of the $1 billion that the governor has offered for strong development ideas. I’m as parochial as the next person, so I hope the Rochester-Finger Lakes region wins one of the top awards. I’d be a lot happier, though, if we won for the kind of proposal we ought to be submitting. What would that be? A compact among all of the region’s counties and municipalities, pledging to seek new development together rather than competing with one another. Under the compact, local governments would promise to stop offering tax breaks to lure businesses from their neighbors. They would create a regional tax-base plan, sharing part of their tax base or revenue with each other. That could help rural areas remain rural if they wanted to, rather than feeling they had to develop their open space to generate more taxes. It would remove some of the pressure on municipalities to attract and hang onto development however they can. The tax breaks routinely handed out by COMIDA, Monroe County’s Industrial Development Agency, are a prime example of the problem. Last week, for example, COMIDA gave sales-tax breaks — a gift from Monroe County taxpayers — to the Boylan Code law firm. What did Boylan Code do to warrant that gift? It moved its offices from Chase Tower in downtown Rochester to the Culver Road Armory a couple of miles away. Why did we need to help fund the furnishing of Boylan Code’s new digs? In part because the firm “considered locations outside of the City of Rochester and Monroe County,” the COMIDA minutes say. (The Democrat and Chronicle identified one of those locations as Ontario County.) You can’t blame Boylan Code for seeking the tax breaks. And you can’t blame city officials for being glad that it got them. For city residents, the larger good is that the law firm didn’t move to the suburbs. Here’s what Mayor Tom Richards told our Chris Fien when she asked about those types of tax breaks last week: “It’s a shame that we subsidize things to make that happen, but one of the things I can’t do and the city can’t do is lie down.” You can make a long list of companies that have moved out to the suburbs, Richards said, and the city has lured some of them back recently. “So I’ve got to fight that battle,” he said. “And I’m going to fight it. And if it means
Ideally, we would prohibit the race to the bottom that COMIDA-type tax breaks have created all across the country.” that there’s some misallocation of resources from the global point of view? Maybe. But I don’t think that the city can sit here and wait for that to get straightened out.” No indeed. As Richards said, the reality is that the city has to compete for every square inch of development it can get. And the reality is that it’s often competing with its neighbors. Ideally, frankly, we wouldn’t even permit states to compete with one another for development. We’d prohibit the race to the bottom that COMIDA-type tax breaks have created all across the country. But we aren’t living in an ideal world. And so the City of Rochester and all of its neighbors will do whatever it takes to get new development and boost their tax base — even when, in the case of some of our farthest-out suburban neighbors, the development paves over the open space and erodes the rural character that has made those communities attractive for some of their residents. Only regional action can change that. We had a chance with Cuomo’s councils to do something bold — something that would really make a difference. I won’t be surprised if none of the councils were willing to take that step, though. It’s so not New York.

Police commission lacks a strong public voice
In an attempt to deal with the fervor around Emily Good, Adam McFadden called for a commission to overhaul police oversight. This commission has only met once, but it is a perfect example of why the city seems unable to solve any of its problems. In an attempt to bring all stakeholders to the table, this commission has five police officers, three City Council members, a city lawyer, a retired city chief of staff, and five other people. It seems odd than anyone would think that a fair representation of the community is one-third RPD, one-third city government, and one-third community members. Like many things the City of Rochester does, this “independent” commission is dominated by people who work for the city. The reports of non-invited observers show what a farce this commission is from the start. Where are the neighborhood association members, students, parents, and business leaders? Mr. McFadden may think this is the way to improve the relationship between our police and the people they are supposed to protect and serve, but do the people who are not City Hall employees agree? I think not. ALEX WHITE, ROCHESTER

Who’s ‘obstinate’?
Mary Anna Towler claims that Republicans engaged in “boorish behavior” and ridicule” at Obama’s speech (Urban Journal, September 14). Maybe she means “boorish” and “ridicule” as when Obama invited Representative Paul Ryan to his speech a few months ago, then proceeded to insult him. As for Republicans being obstinate: Republicans have introduced several bills only to have them derailed in the Democratcontrolled Senate without even a vote. Now that’s obstinate. Towler writes that Obama “is moving City
SEPTEMBER 28 - OCTOBER 4, 2011
in the right direction.” Actually, he’s moving in the left direction (make that the extreme left), which is the wrong direction. It’s not President Obama who’s tried to compromise, it’s the Republicans. After the 2008 elections, when Dems controlled the White House, Senate, and House, Republicans complained about the bullying tactics of Democrats. Obama’s responses were “we won, you lost” and “get to the back of the bus.” That’s not my idea of compromise. SAM PALERMO, ROCHESTER
False hope is wishful thinking
My sympathies lie with Mary Anna Towler in hoping to find something to hope for during the balance of the Obama presidency (“Barack Obama and Our Next 16 Months,” September 14). But predicting sunny skies is a far cry from wishing, given Obama’s track record. Towler refers to a New York Times column by Jonathan Chait, which I think gets matters entirely upside down. The confusion that Chait contributes arises from conflating “liberal” with both “left” and substantive commitment to meaningful change. Liberals, and now not-so-liberal Obama, have naturally found it easier to wax eloquent on liberal causes than to risk actual change. Obama notoriously backs down at the first hint of opposition. Even banana-republic dictators have learned this and can turn his initial tough talk into something between concession and capitulation. The military coup in Honduras was just one example: “No, you can’t” ... “Oh, well; yes, you did.” Fortunately, many liberals are not as good at conciliation as Obama. Nonetheless, as philosopher Slavoj Zizek remarks, the first bourgeois liberals chattered endlessly about the tyranny of the by-then deposed kings, but had nothing to say about the institution of slavery upon which their new wealth depended. The issue is not so much Obama’s various missteps with Congress but his absolute unwillingness to go over their heads by using the bully pulpit to appeal to an American public longing for meaningful change. Whether or not Americans have enough of the right stuff to back up an articulate presidential appeal on any desperately urgent issues is the great unknown. Politicians certainly believe not. What are we actually willing to do? How far outside our “comfort zone” would we venture?
Such a measurement of commitment instead of opinion would have been the only “poll” worth bothering with. Whether the powerlessness or indifference of Americans who remain helpless without such a call from the Great Missing Leader could galvanize into concerted action on behalf of our own preservation we will not be privileged to learn. Not at this time. But maybe this time Obama really will veto deficit legislation that does not include tax increases for the wealthy, unlike Lucy with Charlie Brown and the football. Wishing isn’t hoping, but stay tuned. MIKE CONNELLY, ROCHESTER
Obama needs a ‘war on error’
Yes, much of what Obama said to Congress and what he says elsewhere does not seem relevant to the economy (News Blog: “Do Republicans Consider Obama Irrelevant? Really?”). But perhaps he will yet say something that resonates with the people. President Bush declared a “War on Terror” right after September 11, 2001. That did resonate with the American people, and it surely helped him to get re-elected. Obama has nothing like it, so far. (RL Stevenson said: “Man is a creature who lives not upon bread alone but principally by catchwords.”) I suggest that Obama try declaring a “War on Error,” an ongoing campaign to correct mistakes in both government and industry to improve the economy. Every American in and out of the work force could be involved in fixing mistakes, big and small. I also suggest that President Obama encourage all Americans to pursue learning and training to make such improvements. I urge him to encourage people to use the computer and the internet to continue their education to the max. I call this link between education and economy, “Edu-conomy.” Words like “War on Error” and “Edu-conomy” suggest a future of hope. We have become a stag-nation, when we should be an imagi-nation. From now until Election Day, President Obama can experiment with words and ideas that will yet inspire the country to move forward with jobs and prosperity for us all. He can do it, by a process of trial and error. A “War on Error” might inspire the people. Yes, we can learn. Yes, we can earn. HARRY S. PEARLE, ROCHESTER

Audit blasts county LDC
The State Comptroller’s Office released a critical audit of the county-affiliated Upstate Telecommunications Corporation, and referred the findings to the Attorney General’s Office for review. Almost simultaneously, Democrats in the County Legislature introduced legislation they say would improve oversight of local development corporations like UTC.
Vargas contract amended
The Rochester school board changed Interim Superintendent Bolgen Vargas’ contract to include an end date of June 30, 2012. The board has not yet hired a search firm to help find a permanent superintendent. There have been calls from education activist groups to broaden community involvement in the search, and they’ve also questioned spending district money on an outside search firm. The search, they say, can be handled internally.
Poor us
Poverty rose in New York, from 14.2 percent of households to 14.9 percent between 2009 and 2010, says the US Census Bureau. Ontario County had an increase of 62 per-
cent, from 6.1 percent to 9.9 percent of households. It was the largest increase in the state. The new data indicates that poverty has increased in suburban and rural communities as fewer employers add to their workforce.

RBA campaign questioned
The Rochester Business Alliance and the Rochester Faith Alliance launched a media campaign to increase voter turnout for the coming city school board election. The controversial campaign uses billboards and posters with images of African-American children with duct tape covering their mouths. Questions have been raised about the true purpose of the campaign, since it was rolled out after the Democratic primary.
No change in budget deadline
A County Legislature committee defeated a Democratic proposal to change the due date for the county budget. The proposal would have required the county executive to submit the budget to the Legislature by the second Tuesday in October. The budget is currently due by November 15 — after the general election.
Mayor Tom Richards says it may be time to ask East End business owners to pay extra for police services. FILE Photo
POLICE | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
East End showdown City officials are considering creating a special district in the East End to help cover the cost of police services in that thriving hub of bars and restaurants. The Rochester Police Department has a six-officer detail devotedly solely to the East End on weekends, and last week the Democrat and Chronicle reported that the RPD was reducing its presence there. A representative of the RPD’s East Division had made the announcement to the Upper East End Business Association, and members of the association went to the media. Members were frustrated, says association President Carl O’Connell, because the detail was ending with no notice and no time
for input from the business group or anyone else. But Mayor Tom Richards says the decision was made unilaterally by the East Division, and that he and Police Chief James Sheppard didn’t know about it and have reversed it. The East Division “didn’t see it as that big a deal,” Richards says, “but obviously it is. They just didn’t appreciate the consequences of what they were doing.” Since the East End draws so much of the RPD’s resources, Richards says it’s fair to ask whether businesses there should pay more through a special taxing district. “If we have six police officers full time down there every night from
50% Off Tag Color of the Week.
Thursday through Sunday, that means they’re not someplace else,” he says. “And it also means that all the rest of us are paying for that.” Nothing has been decided, Richards says, and there would opportunities for public input before a new policy is implemented. O’Connell says association members were given two reasons for ending the detail: budget constraints and officer safety. Officers don’t feel safe, O’Connell says he was told, with only a six-member detail. “That’s almost made up,” O’Connell says. “If those officers with guns don’t feel safe, how does it help the East End if you pull them out?”

SOTA’s distinct brand was developed over years. The challenge for school board members if they decide to go forward will be figuring out how to create a unique school like SOTA without depleting SOTA.
EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
ACTIVISM | BY JEREMY MOULE
Can SOTA be copied? Whenever the city school district’s graduation rates are discussed, the conversation often turns to somehow replicating the district’s most successful high schools. School board member Van White introduced a resolution at a board meeting last week, proposing to create a second School of the Arts. By almost every measurement, SOTA is the crown jewel of the district’s high schools. SOTA consistently has the highest graduation rate — 93 percent — of any city high school. Attendance at SOTA is higher than most district high schools, too. So why not create a SOTA on the city’s west side? White’s fellow board members greeted the proposal with considerable enthusiasm. Board member Cynthia Elliott essentially recommended fast-tracking the resolution so that a SOTA west can be created as quickly as possible. But some questions need to be answered. One of the most important: where can the district get the money to open a new school? Creating a new high school on par with SOTA would be expensive and, some board members say, other programs would have to be cut to pay for it. And finding the right building would be important, too. The building would have to be adapted to support
arts education, including space to build a working theater. But the bigger question is whether SOTA’s success can be copied. Applications to SOTA are Van White. FILE Photo always higher than the available openings, which seems to suggest that demand exists. But getting into SOTA isn’t easy. Students have to pass a rigorous audition process and it’s not clear there are enough qualified students to support a second school. SOTA’s success could also be a result of the school’s strong level of parental support and engagement. SOTA’s distinct brand was developed over years. The challenge for board members if they decide to go forward will be figuring out how to create a unique school like SOTA without depleting SOTA. White’s proposal has been sent to the board’s Policy Committee for study.

Some local activists are starting a group to diminish corporate influence in politics and government. | They’re organizing a local chapter of Move to Amend, a national coalition focused on nullifying the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision via a constitutional amendment. | The court’s decision said corporations have the same constitutional protections as people, and it equated indirect spending to influence elections with free speech. As a result, corporations are drowning out voters’ voices, says Dave Atias, one of the local organizers. | “I think we’re not going to get anywhere until we reverse that decision,” he says. | Move to Amend promotes grassroots advocacy to pass the amendment, which will take years to happen, Atias says. The first step is to get local governments to hold ballot initiatives. Those would affirm that only people have constitutional rights and that money is not speech. And they would instruct state and federal representatives to pass an amendment. | An organizational meeting for the local Move to Amend chapter is scheduled for 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, October 4, at First Universalist Church, 200 South Winton Road.

HEALTH | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Sex addiction comes out of the shadows It’s not uncommon for celebrities and politicians caught in sexual peccadilloes to announce that they’re being treated for a sex addiction. In recent years, it’s become an integral part of image repair. But sex addiction is a serious issue, says Patrick Carnes, executive director of Gentle Path, a treatment program at Pine Grove Behavioral Center in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Like addictions to drugs and alcohol, sex addiction is a disease that ruins lives — often leading to broken marriages, health problems, lost employment, and financial troubles, Carnes says. The author of numerous books on the subject, including “Out of the Shadows,” Carnes is the featured speaker of “Cutting Edge Perspectives: Sexual Addiction, Trauma, and Treatment,” a workshop sponsored by Kavod Addiction Recovery Centers and the University of Rochester Medical Center on Saturday, October 1. The event is from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Radisson Hotel Rochester Riverside, and is open to the public. Carnes says that sex addiction often develops in people who were sexually abused during childhood. Adultery, promiscuity, prostitution, compulsive masturbation, and an obsession with pornography are some of the sex addict’s behaviors. Sex addiction isn’t new, Carnes says, but the Internet has become a powerful enabler by making sex and sexual images more assessable than ever before. The following is an edited version of an interview with Carnes. More information about the workshop is available at www. urmc.rochester.edu/cpe or call 275-4392. CITY: How do you define sexual addiction?
Carnes: It’s a brain disease that causes people to seem to be making choices, when really, they’re not. This refers to something we call the “hijacked” brain. They’re doing things that are destructive and disabling to life. And they can’t stop choosing to do those things. For years, that definition extended to alcohol, cocaine, barbiturates, and various forms of chemicals. In recent years, what we understand is that alcohol and cocaine and the others are but one route to the reward centers of the brain. Now we understand that compulsive gambling, compulsive eating, and compulsive sex are what we call the “process addictions.” Neural science makes a good case that food and sex addictions are a lot tougher to treat than the chemical addictions. City
SEPTEMBER 28 - OCTOBER 4, 2011
Can you explain why?
Food and sex are wired into our survival. If you’re an alcoholic, you’re blessed in that all you have to do is stop using alcohol. That’s not so with food and sex. In my patients who suffer with dual addictions such as cocaine and sex, they often say the sex addiction is the more difficult one to deal with. How common is sexual addiction?
There is a recent study out of Canada that places it at about 10 percent of the general population. A University of New Hampshire study found that two-thirds of the junior high school students they surveyed looked at pornography on the Internet when they’re supposed to be studying. About 34 percent of them go on to have a problem with Internet porn. We know that the brain, in terms of addictions, is at its most vulnerable between the ages of 12 and 16. If you drink excessively as 15, the chance of having a lifetime problem with alcohol increases dramatically. Almost all addiction has a connection to availability. For example, the more casinos you have, the more gambling you’ll have. So kids go on the Internet and attain a level of stimulation that is far beyond what is normal, developmentally. For kids who are vulnerable to addictions, we see a tsunami coming. I’ve got patients who are in their 20’s and their problems with sex addiction began as early as fifth grade. Is this more common in men than women?
When I started in this field about 40 years ago, sex addiction used to parallel what you found in alcoholism and gambling: for every three men, there was one woman. But that has changed. Many of the people who are having trouble with sex addiction through online interactions are women — as much as 40 percent — depending on the studies you look at. And women are doing many more varied things online than men. What men will look for online is very predictable: primarily pornography and prostitution. Women will go to sites with specific sexual tastes, such as sadomasochism. Is sex addiction on the increase?
The addiction rate is something of a moving target right now. The best way to answer that is by taking a look at what is selling on the Internet. In 2003 we passed a watershed: sex became one of the Internet’s top revenue-generators. The Internet has made sex so accessible.
Sex addiction is often harder to deal with than an addiction to cocaine, for example, says Patrick Carnes, author of several books on sex addiction. Carnes is coming to Rochester. Photo PROVIDED
It seems like the Internet is an enabler for some people. Is social media really sexual media?
There’s no doubt about it. One of the earliest researchers, Al Cooper, said the Internet was the crack cocaine of sex addiction. He said that many of the people who developed sex addiction might not have done so if it weren’t for the Internet. And I’ve found this to be true across the age spectrum, from young people to geriatric sex addiction. How does a person know if he or she is a sex addict?
Often addicts are in denial. They may tell themselves, “Well, sex online isn’t really sex. There was no touching, so I am not being unfaithful.” However, when their spouse finds out, they often don’t see it that way. They see it as a betrayal. So part of it has to do with the consequences of their behavior — the salesman who stops making calls and loses his job, for example. Or they may have physical consequences like contracting a venereal disease. But basically, the way addicts know they have a problem is they know they’re doing something that is not helping them. And they’ve tried stopping, but can’t.
People can do a self-assessment on www. sexhelp.com. There is a tool on the site called the sex addiction screening test. How effective is treatment?
The recovery rate is quite high, but treatment takes three to five years as it does with almost any addiction. Can the addict eventually live a very fulfilling and sexually healthy life? Absolutely. But the pain and effort to get there are real. What’s the cost of addiction to society, and why is treatment so important?
The loss is almost incalculable. Here’s something to think about: there’s a lot of concern about our economy and there’s pretty common agreement that one of the reasons we’re in the shape we’re in is the cost of health care. If we fixed the health-care system, everything would improve. And if we started with addictions — alcohol, tobacco, food, drugs, sex — the impact would be incredible.

Zoning and design forum in Pittsford
Town of Pittsford officials have scheduled a public hearing for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, October 4, on new residential zoning laws and design guidelines. The hearing is at Pittsford Community Library, 24 State Street. The proposed changes have been controversial because they’d reduce the size of the town’s Historic Preservation Commission, and because they’d move a key commission duty — reviewing physical changes to historic structures — to a new Design Review Board.

Dining Music to your mouth [ CHOW HOUND ] BY SUSIE HUME
For the unacquainted, Brazilian cuisine likely conjures up images of barbequed meat being served on knives and skewers, as is done in churrascarias or Brazilian steakhouses that have been popularized in the United States through a variety of chain restaurants and in movies (like the recent “Bridesmaids”). For a mid-sized city, Rochester is lucky to have its fair share of Latin-American restaurants serving up Mexican, Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican food. But when Paulo Caifa Botelho moved to Rochester with his wife (a native Rochesterian), he found the area lacking in authentic Brazilian cuisine. “I researched the opportunity and what the market looked like,” says Botelho. “And I really wanted to bring a new kind of dish to the area.” In August Botelho opened Samba Café, which specializes in Brazilian cuisine, specifically the food of Minas Gerais, the Brazilian state from which he hails, known as Cozinha Mineira. “People from Brazil know right away what state I am from based on the food,” Botelho says, citing the main differentiators being spices like green onion and garlic, beans thickened with flour, and regional aesthetics like orange tomato sauce and brighter rice. At first glance the menu may seem like that of any traditional lunch haunt, offering salads, wraps, paninis, and smoothies. The difference is in the details. All salads start with a base of romaine lettuce and tomatoes and are then topped with unique offerings like cashews, hearts of palm, grapes, blueberries, and green olives. The main lunch special is what Botelho has termed “the Brazilian plate,” which includes rice, black beans, romaine, vinaigrette, salsa, and meat, which rotates daily between chicken, lime-marinated pork, and grilled steak. The wraps and panini may sound out of place on Brazilian menu, but they serve up the same great flavors as the plate in more accessible and portable way. “Sometimes people think that because it’s Brazilian food it will be too exotic, and they won’t want
it at lunchtime,” says Botelho. “So I’ve tried to incorporate some American-friendly foods but with a Brazilian style.” The real treat comes on Fridays, when Botelho arrives at the restaurant at 4 a.m. to beginning preparing the feijoada, a traditional Brazilian stew made with black beans, pork butts, beef, sausage, bay leaves, and shredded collard greens served over white rice. By time the restaurant opens, the stew has been simmering for six hours, allowing all of the flavors to meld into a truly authentic dish. Don’t show up late, though, as it is often gone after the lunch rush. Samba Café is located at 350 State St. Prices range from $3 to $9. It is open Mondays-Fridays 10 a.m.-5 p.m. In October, the hours will expand to 9 p.m. on Fridays 9 p.m. and 4-9 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

Closings
Mama Rosa Ristorante (1733
Norton St), an old-style Italian restaurant, has closed. The restaurant’s owners, Anthony and Isabelle Suero, who operated the restaurant for 21 years, have decided to retire. They have also closed their neighboring restaurant, Mama Rosa Express, which opened earlier this year and offered more casual choices like pizza and burgers. The couple’s daughter, Rosey Vitale, operates the popular Rosey’s Italian Café (2133 Five Mile Line Road) with her husband Rick, which moved to Penfield from downtown last spring. Bertino’s Italian Food To Go (649 Monroe Ave.) has closed. The pizza and Italian food restaurant was situated in the space formerly occupied by Rookies Express and Mark’s Pizzeria before that. It served pizza (including a huge quarter-pie slice), calzones, pasta dinners, subs, and more. Attempts to reach the owner to determine the reason for closing were unsuccessful, but the restaurant has been lights-out since the summer and the phone has been disconnected. Walia Ethiopian Café (525 Ridge Road East), which opened its doors earlier this year, has closed. The restaurant served traditional Ethiopian dishes, including injera (a yeast-risen flatbread) and chicken, beef, lamb, and vegetarian entrees. It also offered an Ethiopian dinner buffet and hand-brewed coffees. Attempts to reach the owners for comment were unsuccessful, but the restaurant has a “for sale” sign in the window and the phone has been disconnected.

The business of classical music Can the RPO become a household necessity?
hen conductor and music director Arild Remmereit takes the podium on Friday, September 30, for opening night of the 2011-2012 season of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, he will be trying to create “an orchestra of necessity, not just an orchestra for a few people,” he says. Sitting front and center in Kodak Hall after the opening-night red-carpet walk with Remmereit and the RPO musicians will be Charlie Owens, president and CEO of the RPO — a man who will be paying as much attention to box office receipts as to the opening notes. So far, Owens says season ticket sales are going strong and are keeping pace with last year’s season ticket sales at this same time. “I think it says a lot about the Rochester audience that they are already out of the gate, sight unseen,” says Owens. The “unseen” is a reference not only to Remmereit beginning his four-year contract as RPO conductor and music director, replacing longtime and beloved music director Christopher Seaman, but also to Remmereit programming well known composers like Johann Strauss, Jr. on the same night as relatively unknown composers like Amy Beach, Johan Halvorsen, and Johan Svendsen. Even Remmereit says, “This season is, indeed, a risky season. The challenge is to get you to come out to hear it, to get people to buy tickets for what they don’t know.” The bold moves of Remmereit, Owens, and the RPO come on the heels of a barely balanced 2010-2011 RPO budget, in an economy of persistent recession, and just one season after bankruptcy filings by orchestras in Syracuse and Philadelphia. Still, with season ticket sales at 7,534 a week before the premiere, everyone within the RPO organization is abuzz with the possibility that the RPO just might have the winning formula to get the organization to a new high note. The story of this unconventional concert
season begins in 2006, when the RPO board of directors hired Thomas W. Morris, a national orchestra consultant, for a year-long, institution-wide process of asking questions and analyzing data to create a strategic business plan. Morris, a Rochester native who attended RPO concerts at a young age, was also a former executive director of the Cleveland Orchestra
and general manager of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The result was a 2006 report entitled “Ensuring a Vibrant Future.” “I was not quite here yet,” says Owens, who began his tenure with the RPO in November 2007. “But it was clear that leadership of the RPO made a pact with itself that it would not allow the dust to settle on that strategic plan. It was clear when I joined on in 2007 that at least on an annual basis, we were going to revisit the goals of that program and make revisions accordingly.” The 2006 report opens with the words, “Since its founding in 1922, the persistent challenge facing the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra has been: how to continually develop, nurture, and support a nationally recognized orchestra in a midsized community.” Included in its remarks were “the existing policy of spending less but doing more cannot continue; cost cutting as a way to finance future growth is not a realistic option.” But not long thereafter the RPO did have to cut costs. The 2008-2009 RPO concert season suffered an operating deficit of $776,000. In a January 20, 2010 press release announcing a fundraising campaign called the “Million Dollar Community Challenge,” then RPO Treasurer Elizabeth F. Rice called the 2008-2009 season “a year of two halves,” citing a decrease to 70 percent of concert goals from January to June 2009, a net loss of 769 donors, and a shortfall in endowment earnings due to stock market losses. (Rice is now the chairwoman of the RPO board.) To the orchestra’s credit, the very next season, it was Owens at center stage, announcing that the RPO had achieved a balanced budget for the 2009-2010 season with total revenue and support at $9,202,307, and total expenses at $9,199,891. Owens describes the positive balance as a “razor-thin margin as of August 31, 2010.” The RPO made it into the black through a combination of $520,000 of wage and benefit reductions by musicians and staff, and by a fundraising campaign raising $1.1 million from more than 1,800 donors. The musicians are organized and represented in wage and benefit negotiations and collective bargaining agreements through the Rochester Musicians’ Association, Local 66. According to the 2010 annual report, revenues were down $1 million. “For two
years, cost cutting in a pretty dramatic fashion really was essential for our survival,” says Owens. “We would have run out of cash in either of the past two years if we hadn’t taken about $1 million out of our budget. It was absolutely essential that we get our house in order that way.” The annual report for the RPO’s 2010-2011 season with fiscal year ending August 31, 2011 is not due out until January 2012, after the auditors examine the financial records. Owens believes it will Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra President & CEO Charlie Owens (left) and the orchestra’s new conductor and music director, Arild Remmereit (right). demonstrate another PHOTO COURTESY Walter Colley Images balanced budget. But now Owens, coupled with Christopher Seaman’s decision to too, is also of the opinion that further step down at the end of the 2010-2011 season cost-cutting could have negative long-term and the start of a new music director search, consequences for the RPO. “When more than caused us to take our focus off some of those half of the cost-cutting happens on the backs longer-term objectives.” of employees and musicians, over the long Owens says he is ready to make term, it will erode artistic quality, the ability to recommendations to the board to “go maintain and retain artistic talent,” says Owens. for growth,” including getting musicians and staff back to pre-recession salaries and The RPO is part of a very small group of benefits.

According to the League organization’s budget by 60 percent, increased of American Orchestras data from April annual attendance by 52 percent, and increased 2011, there are more than 1,800 orchestras individual donations by 76 percent. nationwide, but only approximately 350 Owens says that a “new strategic plan” for are “professional orchestras” with paid the RPO has been in the works for the past year musicians. The rest are volunteer, collegiate or or so, but he is “not quite ready to go public with conservatory, or youth orchestras. the fundamentals.” The RPO, like many businesses, was hit by “Our long-term objectives really haven’t the impact of the global economic recession, changed, but some of our strategies have beginning in the fall of 2008. “The impact of the changed as a result of the modern-day economic recession put a lot of our aspirations on hold,” realities and a very specific artistic vision that says Owens.

certain types of technologies — his priorities become our priorities.” Remmereit, too, is making the RPO his
priority, one that involves moving from Vienna, Austria, with his wife, Honami, and infant son, Leonardo, to live in Rochester. Remmereit was born in Norway in 1961, and graduated in 1986 from the Norwegian Conservatory of Music, where he studied piano, song, and composition. He has lived in Vienna since 1987. “I am going to work hard on the most obvious part of my duty to secure the artistic quality of this orchestra and its good musical spirit, and I am going to involve myself in being a Rochesterian — a fresh one — to involve myself in establishing connections with a larger audience, working as an ambassador in the community for this orchestra,” says Remmereit. Remmereit’s vision for the RPO comes out of what he calls his “hobby” of searching out “the others.” “I am having a conducting career of almost 20 years, and it has been a hobby of mine throughout,” says Remmereit. “I am asking myself, ‘What about the others?’ I have always been curious to find out about the others.” “The others,” as he calls them, are those composers who Remmereit has discovered through years of intense research, and who may be composers of whom you have never heard. It would seem an appropriate interest for the conductor who, in 2005, the New York Times music critic James R. Oestreich called “the hottest conductor you’ve never heard of.” Remmereit goes on about the others, and, while talking about American composer William Henry Fry, he says, “I’m so excited about it; I’m almost jumping as we speak.” “We are facing a situation where programming becomes a little bit restricted out of fear for failure,” says Remmereit, “so we end up programming — this is worldwide, not just in Rochester — we end up programming a small number of pieces that we [know] with research are selling fairly well. A marketing process has brought it to the point where we don’t dare to program things that are not brand names.” Remmereit’s daring programming isn’t just programs of knowns with unknowns, it’s adding new elements to the equation. While visiting Rochester, Remmereit found his way to BOA Publications and Writers & Books, perhaps the center of the Rochester writing community, and he decided to initiate collaborations. “Whether it ends up being poems written by Rochesterians or students in Rochester, or poetry from around the nation related to Rochester, there will be a link to poetry in all my concerts,” says Remmereit. “Poetry will walk with us from this first season.” Remmereit also decided to connect to photography. “Another initiative is to reach out to photographers to have them showing us their work while we are playing so that there will be a small exhibition at one or several of the concerts, and perhaps while we are playing,” says Remmereit.
“Another thing that immediately I got inspired by in Rochester is Susan B. Anthony and women’s rights,” says Remmereit. “All my concerts, which are eight in total, will have at least one woman composer on the program.” Through his approach, Remmereit is hoping for two things to happen: to present new repertoire to the core RPO audience and to expand that audience beyond its core members. What we won’t know for some concerts to come is whether Rochester is the location in which to conduct this grand experiment, or whether Remmereit has the magical baton with which to do the conducting. Remmereit acknowledges that this is his first engagement as a music director in America. “I haven’t had an opportunity to program in America for a whole season,” says Remmereit. “As a guest conductor, I have had one or two concerts at a particular orchestra at the very most.” Remmereit first came to Rochester as a guest conductor in May 2009. His first American guest-conducting appearance was with the Madison Symphony in Wisconsin in 2003. But, Remmereit is quick to add he is passionate about presenting “firsts” and claims to have found “significant success” with this formula for individual concerts in Detroit, Pittsburg, Seattle, New Jersey, and Dallas. Exciting though it may sound from an artistic
perspective, all things artistic cost money, and there is the reality that Remmereit’s artistic vision will increase orchestra expenses. “For the Mahler performance this season, the extra players alone will cost $40,000 extra,” says Owens, reflecting that the orchestration will require a number of additional musicians for the five-movement, near 90-minute work depicting the beauty of the afterlife and the resurrection. “What we’re doing now very aggressively is to try to line up underwriters for that — ideally new underwriters. We’d like people to step up and be inspired by Remmereit’s multi-year programming of Mahler.” And, with approximately half of the 20112012 season being works that have never been performed by the RPO, Remmereit’s programming choices have increased the library budget another $35,000 to $40,000, according to Owens. Works new to the RPO require the purchase of scores and/or payments of royalties. “We’re looking for underwriters to close that gap as well,” says Owens. The RPO’s operating budget comes from several funding sources: ticket sales (40 percent), donations (40 percent), draws and distributions from the endowment fund (10 percent), government grants (4.5 percent), special events (4 percent), the Youth Orchestra (1 percent), and miscellaneous sources like recordings and the gift shop (1 percent). (Figures are rounded.) Ticket sales break down into roughly an equal combination of season ticket sales and single concert ticket sales, according to Owens, and these are two different types of concert goers. The season-ticket holders, says Owens,
are typically purchasing the very same seats year after year. The single-ticket purchaser is more program sensitive, and might be a new member of the audience, might be coming out for a special performance, or might come once or twice in a season. Looking at the 2011-2012 season, the most famous name on the marquee is violinist Itzhak Perlman, performing in a single concert on Sunday, January 22, 2012. Owens reports that the Perlman concert is almost sold out. According to annual reports, attendance for the 29 philharmonics concerts during the 2009-2010 season was approximately 40,200, down roughly 7 percent from comparable figures for the 2008-2009 season of approximately 43,000. Owens expects the next annual report to reflect increased attendance, partially in response to it being Christopher Seaman’s last season with the RPO. Another aspect of RPO financing is government grants. While Monroe County has maintained its approximately $160,000 per year funding levels to the RPO through the recession, New York State Council on the Arts and money from individual members of the New York State Assembly and Senate has declined. Owens points to a decrease in Council on the Arts funding of more than $150,000 and an aggregate decrease in member-item funding of more than $600,000. According to the annual reports, government grants went from 7.7 percent of the 2009 operating budget down to 4.5 percent of the 2010 operating budget. What has remained consistent during this same period are the approximately 6,000 individual donors supporting the RPO, with individual gifts in categories as high as $25,000 and above — a list that includes Betty Strasenburgh, after whom Betty’s Café at the Eastman Theater is named. Also among the donors are the 29 current RPO board members, each of whom is expected to contribute at least $9,500 per year, plus engage in numerous fundraising activities to encourage donations from their peer group. Owens says that if Remmereit’s first season with the RPO does not meet financial expectations, adjustments can and would be considered for the second season. Unlike the proverbial widget company, an orchestra’s ability to make changes during a season is limited. For Owens, tracking numbers for the 20112012 season will be milestones in November (how did the season ticket sales and revenues start?) and then in January (how did the “Nutcracker” and Holiday Pops concert sales and revenues progress?). According to Owens, the “Nutcracker” and Holiday Pops concerts alone can account for approximately $600,000 of the season’s revenues. “We will go in on the

first day of the new calendar year and take a close look at the capital campaign and the holiday results and make some decisions about whether we need to tighten our belt in the second half of the year.” Owens says that “only as a last resort would we interrupt programming for the spring.” It would not be a complete business analysis without reference to the various orchestra bankruptcies that swept through symphonies from 2008 to 2010, including the nearby Syracuse Symphony Orchestra, which filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding on April 5, 2011, during its 50th anniversary season, with liabilities of $4 million exceeding $325,000 in assets, and liens extending even over the orchestra’s 9’ Steinway D grand piano. Last spring, the RPO reached out with an offer to Syracuse Symphony Orchestra patrons, allowing purchased SSO tickets to be used to attend specific RPO concerts. According to Owens, “several dozen” patrons from Syracuse did so. The RPO also invited SSO patrons to a reception with the RPO board members. (Owens tactfully cautioned though that the RPO wants to be “careful” about courting that audience while there are reports, including a recent newspaper article in the Syracuse Post-Standard, about various efforts to start a successor organization.) Both Remmereit and Owens express themselves during the interviews with a bit of nervous excitement about the new season. “I have been given the trust to be responsible for the programming and I believe in the salability of it here in Rochester,” says Remmereit. “A certain portion of risk is necessary to be able to see growth. A risk can also be change for the worse, but we can only see when we try.”

But unlike a lot of contemporary ladies singing the blues, Kane doesn’t co-opt the genre’s down-and-out pre-requisites; she plugs in her own life, which is a hell of a lot more colorful than just blue. That said, the lady doesn’t just wallow or commiserate. She’s come out the other side successfully, with a lyrical humor and resolve. Her music is pure blues with a considerable pump, hump, and jump. You can thank her band for that, in particular Bay-area hotshot guitarist Laura Chavez. Chavez plays with a tight, uncluttered style reminiscent of Johnny “Guitar” Watson. In fact, the band covered Watson’s “Love to Love You” complete with a flipped push-shuffle rhythm in the bridge. John Hiatt was full of Memphis soul and wry wit Thursday at Water Street, playing to a crowd of about 400 people. Hiatt and his Combo were loud, I’m telling you — loud. But there’s such an aw-shucks
sincerity to his persona that it still sat above the racket. But let’s not forget that, despite his insight and thoughtfulness, Hiatt is a rocker at heart; an unassuming rocker in his wrinkled shirt and porkpie hat, but a rocker nonetheless. The show was fantastic, and the crowd was packed with Hiatt diehards who all gave the man a standing ovation after virtually every song. Rusbo Sloan and the Brothers of Rock is a cross-section of so many classic-rock ingredients, and I had a blast picking them and pointing them out Saturday night at the California Brew Haus with my buddy Woody. The Brothers of Rock is similar to post-Diamond Dave Van Halen, but there are elements of Triumph, Blue Oyster Cult, and even a little prog rock mixed in there. The band shook the rafters with a spirited set, though the sound was a little uneven. Sloan kills on the guitar, but it was a little buried this night. Overall it was a great show and no one seemed to mind, as this band is really the only one here in town scratching that classic itch.

Music
Wednesday, September 28
years later, here we are. We were influenced by classic rock all the way up to music of our time, when we were born in the 90’s. By classic you mean 70’s rock? Layne: Yeah, 60’s and 70’s rock. Not the 80’s? Cody Ingham-Flowers: The 70’s is where
it’s at.
What do you think is lacking in contemporary rock music? All: Feeling. What’s the blank Intrinsic is filling in? All: Meaning. Layne: We’re trying to bring that music, that
real emotional sound that everyone’s lacking nowadays, back.
How are you hoping to accomplish that? Alex Bellanca: It’s the full spectrum of sound and
emotion, not just complete thrash, hardcore. Local band Intrinsic refers to its grunge-inspired sound as “subvert” music. Photo BY FRANK DE BLASE
Are you ready for the subvert? Intrinsic w/The Dads, Routine Involvements, Dick Snare Friday, September 30 Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. 9 p.m. | $5-$7 | bugjar.com reverbnation.com/intrinsicrocks [ INTERVIEW ] by FRANK DE BLASE
Music genres are often created as a knee-jerk response to another genre. Punk flew in the fat face of arena rock in the mid-70’s, offering a stripped-down return to the attitude of rock ’n’ roll. In the early 90’s, when big rock and hair metal had run their course, grunge was there to hammer nails in the coffin. The cycle in which styles get revisited generally kicks up again every 15 years. So by my calculations we’re due for a second round of grunge and grunge-inspired rock. The Rapture notwithstanding, the second coming of anything generally doesn’t pack as much punch as the first time around, when it addressed its predecessor’s pitfalls and offered a solution. But if a band arrives at a genre genuinely, honestly, organically, it can spur not only a resurgence, but a rebirth. That’s what’s going on with the Fairportbased rockers in Intrinsic. Intrinsic is clearly influenced by that sweet Seattle sound, but classic rock, hardcore, and
alternative overtones rear their heads as well. It’s tight, it’s intense, and even though it may be part of kind of grunge part deux, it’s refreshing. It’s not contrived or commercially motivated. Intrinsic arrived at this sound through a haphazard collision of each member’s influences and preferences. Intrinsic has gone so far as to label its own musical style. The group calls it “subvert.” Subvert is not quite as chunky as grunge, big as classic rock, nor is it as manic as hardcore. There’s a sloppy urgency that keeps it honest, and the band’s collective talent keeps it wound tight. There is a ton of undeniable and infectious energy here. Though the band came together in 2005, it has only recently kicked into high gear. Now Skyler Smith (bass), Adam Layne (singer), Cody Ingham-Flowers (drums), and Alex Bellanca (guitar) are chomping at the bit, looking to find their slot in the scene. Three EPs have hit the street and work has begun on the first LP for the resurrected GaragePop label at Watchman Studios, and it’s just a matter of time before this thing they call subvert subverts. The boys in the band — ages ranging from 17 to 21 — popped in for a chat. An edited transcript of what was said follows. CITY: How did Intrinsic start? What lit the fuse? Adam Layne: It all pretty much started in the
basement and rolled on from there. A few

Emotional dynamics? Skyler Smith: Exactly. What’s something Intrinsic isn’t doing or won’t do? Layne: Following, period. Following in general. So what sort of sounds are you going to do this with? Smith: We all come from different musical
backgrounds. Cody comes from a big 70’s background, my parents leaned more toward the psychedelic stuff. Mike and Al come from a different thing. We really try to bring everything we have to the table and do it that way rather than, “OK, what can we sound like?” It’s more about, what do we sound like? Layne: There’s not one band that influences Intrinsic. How did it feel when you completed your first song in this band? Smith: It felt awesome, playing with these
guys and finally doing something worthwhile, something different from all these radio rock bands. To be honest it was kind of trippy. I’d never listened to my music before. It was a good feeling, really. Is Intrinsic a live band that records, or a studio band that plays live? Ingham-Flowers: It’s all about the live show,
really. You need to emphasize the sound you are going for. Layne: I think we do both well.

ROCK | JACKSON BROWNE
Though I’ve been accused of it, I really don’t have a problem with Jackson Browne. In fact, the last time he played the Auditorium I think he had the best amplified acoustic guitar sound I’ve ever heard live. But it’s his fans…they wouldn’t shut up. I saw Browne again with Steve Earle more recently, and again the khakis made with the chin music as opposed to watching the show. But if you shut up and listen this legendary and seemingly ageless rocker puts on a decent show. Yeah, it’s mellow and waxes hippy here and there, but there’s a ton of pretty songs we all grew up on. Browne has been inducted into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriter’s Hall of Fame. This time around, Browne is flying solo and it will no doubt be with that killer tone coming out of his new Gibson signature model guitar. Shut up and you’ll see what I mean.

AMERICANA | HA HA TONKA
POP/R&B | JANELLE MONAE
Ha Ha Tonka is a roots-rock band, but one that stretches beyond the genre’s usual themes and limits. There’s plenty of faded denim and big-sky vistas, but Ha Ha Tonka isn’t fenced in. Think Wilco, just not as extrapolated, or maybe even early R.E.M. (R.I.P.). The band delivers its message, hook, groove, and sinker in tight little episodes and anthemic opuses, like the ones all over its latest album, “Death of a Decade.” Sara Elizabeth gets things started.
Janelle Monae is one of the most exciting new acts currently making a mark in the modern music scene. You probably know her best for her infectious 2010 hit “Tightrope,” or her performance on the most recent Grammy Awards ceremony, but that’s just a taste of what Monae is looking to offer. She mixes a variety of styles, including funk, jazz, hip-hop, and 60’s-flavored pop into her music, and incorporates a similarly wide mix of influences into her memorable visual style. With an interest in androids, concept albums, and the future, she’s definitely a young artist to keep an eye on. She’s currently headlining the Campus Consciousness Tour, and will make a Rochester stop this week with appropriately named pop group Fun and Timothy Bloom.

More than words “An Astonished Eye: The Art of Kenneth Patchen” Through January 5 Rare Books & Special Collections, Rush Rhees Library, University of Rochester River Campus By appointment Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m.-3 p.m. 275-4477 | rochester.edu [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
The Rare Books & Special Collections department at the University of Rochester’s Rush Rhees Library has become one of my mainstays for offbeat, educational art exhibitions. Last week it opened yet another of its excellent shows, “An Astonished Eye: The Art of Kenneth Patchen,” the largest-ever exhibition of the graphic art of this relatively obscure, pioneering painter-poet. Held in celebration of the centennial of Patchen’s birth, the show presents more than 200 painted books, silkscreen broadsides, picture-poems, paintings, photographs, and inscribed first editions. Kenneth Patchen was a fascinating, sadly off-the-radar, prolific blip in literary and aesthetic history. As usual with these exhibits, the viewer could spend hours absorbed in a fascinating, worthy-of-celebrating life, explored not only in object but through insightful commentary by the curators. Opening night of the exhibit was accompanied by the first in this year’s Neilly Lecture Series, with a talk offered by fine art photographer, fine press printer, and keeper of Patchen’s legacy, Jonathan Clark, who provided a window into a life of hardship, creativity, resourcefulness, and crucially central philosophic human issues. Though first and foremost a poet, Patchen
adopted the idea of the “total artist, extending his creative process to include printing, book binding, and design,” says exhibit curator Richard Peek, director of Rare Books & Special Collections at the University of Rochester. In text as well as image, Patchen’s work was infused with a “strong moral voice driven by a wild imagination,” Peek says. Published from the 1930’s until his death in 1972, Patchen has been “labeled as Romantic, Proletarian, Socialist, Surrealist, Dadaist, and Beat, but his life’s work ultimately defies categorization,” says Peek, which is one of the reasons academia has not focused on him. Of dozens of books, his anti-war anti-novel “The Journal of Albion Moonlight” is considered an important work of experimental literature.
The 1941 work begins as a diary documenting an allegorical journey through a nightmarish landscape, but quickly disintegrates into chaos, with multiple voices taking on individual typographical forms, marginal stories, lists, and a man hanging from a rope of letters. William Blake influenced Patchen deeply, as is evident in the integral imagery found in the book. The complex typography was printed in letterpress by Patchen himself, and his own handwriting appears on page 159, “as if his own emotions can no longer be contained by mechanical type,” says Clark. Patchen’s work also shows influence of E. E. Cummings, Kurt Schwitters, Hans Arp, and Joan Miro, among others. The Great Depression broke Patchen’s family
into destitution and “marked his outlook,” says Clark. At age 14, he had a sonnet published in New York Times, but spent his young adulthood riding the rails looking for odd jobs to survive, was arrested and beaten, and spent a terrifying week in a Georgia jail accused of murder due to mistaken identity. His life story crisscrosses the nation, chasing opportunity and health — his degenerative back problems were sustained at age 26 when he tried to lift a car that locked bumpers in an accident. The injury plagued him for the rest of his life. Patchen’s first book, “Before the Brave,” was published in 1936, the poems “a bit like Joe Hill meets Percy Shelley,” says Clark. It was filled with themes of pacifism and social justice, and earned Patchen a Guggenheim fellowship. Graphic artwork debuted in his second book, the 1939 “First Will and Testament,” with two drawings on a single page. This work won critical attention from William Carlos Williams and Henry Miller. “The Dark Kingdom” featured design and typography by Patchen, and was the first of nine painted book editions. Confined to bed, the poet painted on 75 covers, each one of a kind, and offered them for a premium collector’s price. “The painted books, which began as a marketing device, soon became a major creative outlet for Patchen,” says Clark, and an upwards of 700 to 1000 total were created. The tone of later works shifted from complete darkness to comparatively whimsical, with matching imagery, though his “outrage at injustice never diminished,” says Clark. One work features a feather-haired figure standing on an anthropomorphized scrap of ground, and reads: “The best hope is that one of these days the ground will get disgusted enough just to walk away — leaving people with nothing more to stand on than what they have so bloody well stood for up to now.” After a 1950 operation on his back and a doctor-recommended move to San Francisco,

Patchen began to perform poetry live with jazz accompaniment, touring widely but briefly with Charles Mingus, Dave Brubeck, Andre Previn, Ally Ferguson, and Alan Neil. Patchen’s drifty free-verse voice is languid but persistent over jangly, meandering jazz, recorded in clubs before another bungled surgery led to greater trouble with his back, condemning him to bed once more. His final years were spent relatively isolated as he further developed his picture-poem experiments. “This Room, This Battlefield” is an autobiographical work covered in cramped text, a perfect visual for his condition. Patchen died in 1972, at age 60, in poverty and with obscurity encroaching. The slim audience for poetry is a tricky enough
problem to navigate during an author’s lifetime, more so after death when a poet is not favored by academia. Though Patchen’s work is difficult to categorize, and controversial in its anarchist themes, his works remain personal, immediate, exhibiting a universal-ness close to the end of his life. Tones of anger, protest, humor, and contemplation resolved into a compassionate identification with all things. His own suffering birthed a sense of mystery and wonder about existence. Some works are lofty, others state it simply: “In the long run/this is a race where everybody ends up/in a tie, sorta.” One if my favorite works in the show, a broadside in all neon colors, with a large figure holding flowers and a bird, states what seemingly always needs to be said: “I shall proclaim this international shut your big fat flapping mouth week.” I think I would have liked this guy a great deal.

ART | EXHIBITION CLOSINGS
Because I’m an art critic working with a tragically slim amount of space to discuss the abundant art scene in Rochester, way too many great exhibits slip through the cracks. Here are a few closing-soon shows closing that you shouldn’t miss. Admission is free unless otherwise stated. For a complete listing of current art exhibits and receptions, visit our calendar at rochestercitynewspaper.com. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Closing September 30: “Babes & Bikes” by Carla Bartow. Orange Glory Café, 240 East Ave. 232-7340. Mon-Fri 11 a.m.-3 p.m. New playful work by painter/illustrator Bartow, who also has colorful, animal-themed work currently up at Lento in the Village Gate. Closing September 30: “Specimens of the New Growth: Recent works by Robert Frank Abplanalp.” Record Archive, 33 1/3 Rockwood St. alayna@recordarchive.com. Mon-Sat 10 a.m.-9 p.m., Sun noon-5 p.m. New drawings, paintings, and installations by Abplanalp, which incorporate plant, insect , and other natural imagery. Closing October 2: “CUT…ing Edge,” sculptures and drawings by Mark Fox. Culver Road Armory 145 Culver Road. culverroadarmory.com, deborahronnen@gmail.com. Tue-Sun 1-5 p.m. Local art collector and curator Deborah Ronnen brought NYC-based artist Mark Fox to Rochester for the inaugural exhibit in the Cultural Series at the newly renovated armory. The gorgeous, lofty, contemporary space is the perfect venue to show off Fox’s often massive, intricate, cut-steel and cut-paper sculptures. In some of the work, the artist painted objects in watercolor and attached them in a massive plane, creating abstract, lacey forms when viewed head-on, but colorful objects are revealed by peeking through the spaces to the mirrors some works lay against. Fox also meticulously transcribed religious and mythological texts, and cut and reassembled them into abstracted forms. The floating script lays flat against mirrors, or is a mirror itself, reflecting the viewer within the text, or is jumbled into a bunched form and barely legible. Pictured here is Fox’s monochrome “Spectre.” Closing October 8: “American Tone Poems, 1870-1920.” Oxford Gallery, 267 Oxford St. 271-5885, oxfordgallery.com. Tue-Fri Noon-5 p.m; Sat 10 a.m.-5 p.m. This breathtaking exhibit includes more than 40 paintings by many of the post-Civil War period’s greatest visual artists. The painters tended to favor the luminal, borderland times of fragile early morning, dusky and dramatic sunset, or delicately starlit evening, and expertly conveyed air heavy with haze, mist, and emotion. Viewers will encounter Alexander Helwig Wyant’s atmospheric “Mountain Mist,” the golden glow of Frank Knox Rehn’s “Harbor at Sunset,” and Arthur Parton’s wild and ethereal orchard in “Apple Blossoms.” Rochester, 249 Highland Ave. 461-1000 x0, mycce.org/ monroe. 7-9 p.m. Free.

LECTURE | EMPOWER WOMEN & GIRLS
The state of women’s advancement is a tricky issue; though progressive individuals agree that women should enjoy equal footing with men wherever in the world they live, the insidious architects of globalization have gunked up our impression of where we should poke our noses, and why we’re actually doing it. In addressing issues of womankind’s place in first world, third world, and anywhere in between, it is crucial to remember that while we might view our disruptive presence in underdog nations as beneficial for women’s advancement, it is often extremely detrimental to the entire population, thus making moot any humanitarian ideals. On Monday, October 3, learn more and gain a wider perspective from 14 journalists from developing countries at the “Freedom of the Press: Empower Women & Girls” conference, which will be held at The Strong Museum of Play (1 Manhattan Square Drive). Journalists representing the Bahamas, Barbados, Cameroon, Croatia, Gambia, Georgia, Ghana, Kiribati, Oman, Palau, Swaziland, the Republic of Tajikistan, the United Arab Emirates, and the Democratic Republic of Congo will be present. The keynote speaker, Her Excellency Lyutha Sultan al-Mughairy of Oman, will lecture on her experiences in politics, journalism, as a United Nations information officer, and now as an Ambassador to the UN. Participants in the conference will attend breakout sessions and debate how media and societies help or hurt the empowerment of females, and will be given the chance to discuss education, health, children, marriage, religion, jobs, economic independence, ethnic, and personal topics. The conference will take place 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., and will include lunch. Tickets are $15 or $10 for students.

SPECIAL EVENTS | FALL EVENTS
Autumn makes me swoon for the abundance of sensual experiences it offers — the cozy layers, the fragrant and dramatically painted leaves, the moody, epic skies, and the variety of flavorful, spiced treats-of-the-harvest. I would be content in perpetual autumn, existing on that boundary and never tumbling into winter. But as with many things, its fleeting nature enhances its draw. You can fully embrace the wistful loveliness of the fall by attending these celebrations of the season, including festivals, nature hikes, and more.

Baseball by the numbers [ REVIEW ] by George Grella
“Moneyball” (PG-13), directed by Bennett Miller Now playing
In keeping with the traditional American distrust of corporate wealth and their usual concentration on the sport and its participants, few baseball films deal with the people who own and administer the business end of the game, the front office. When baseball films show owners and executives, they generally depict them negatively — Charles Comiskey in “Eight Men Out,” Judge Goodwill Banner in “The Natural,” the ex-stripper who wants her team to lose in “Major League.”

Focusing almost exclusively on what happens off the field and behind the spectacle, “Moneyball,” on the other hand, provides a radically different view of the national pastime. Based on a most informative nonfiction book by Michael Lewis, the movie dramatizes real people and real events in the recent history of the Oakland Athletics, concentrating on their iconoclastic general manager, Billy Beane. A No. 1 draft choice of the New York Mets, a fine allaround athlete universally regarded as a future superstar, Beane decided to work off the field when his career fizzled. Searching for new ways of judging talent and evaluating performance, he discovered the techniques known as Sabremetrics, i. e., the mathematical methods developed by members of SABR, the Society for American Baseball Research, many of which contradict a hundred years of conventional wisdom. In the movie Beane (Brad Pitt), devastated by his team’s loss in the playoffs and the pillaging of players from his smallmarket, low-budget enterprise by richer

clubs, especially the Yankees and the Red Sox, meets Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), a pudgy, unathletic computer geek fresh out of Yale, who applies the approach of Bill James, the great guru of SABR, to the selection and rejection of players. The mismatched pair ignore the advice of Oakland’s resident experts and sign some unlikely and overlooked players for bargain prices, putting together a team that initially looks inept but ends up with a terrific season, a record 20-game winning streak, a division championship, and a trip, albeit unsuccessful, to the American League playoffs. Aside from documenting the benefits of Beane’s innovations, the movie shows the difficulty of his struggles with the veteran scouts and field personnel of the Athletics; he quarrels with a number of baseball people, especially the team’s manager, Art Howe (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a grizzled, recalcitrant veteran who openly dislikes his boss and consistently refuses to apply his instructions during the games. The picture ultimately demonstrates the value of Beane’s principles by citing the fact that baseball teams and sportswriters now accept such hallowed statistics as OBP (On Base Percentage) and WHIP (Walks and Hits per Innings Pitched); at the same time, it ignores the fact that a good many SABR members who wouldn’t know a fungo bat from a catcher’s mask, employ their computers and their algorithms to prove that stolen bases and strikeouts mean nothing,
Taking it further [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO
“Magic Trip” (R), directed by Alex Gibney and Alison Ellwood Opens Friday
“Idiots and Angels” (NR), directed by visiting filmmaker Bill Plympton Screens Saturday and Sunday at the Dryden
that Walter Johnson is overrated, and that Ty Cobb would only hit .280 today. In some of its best moments “Moneyball” provides glimpses into the combination of chess and high-stakes poker that a general manager like Beane must practice, bluffing, bargaining, cajoling, moving players around a complicated board, and suffering the lies and betrayals of agents. It also indicates the genuine difficulty in sending a man down to the minors, dumping an injured player, or losing a star to a richer team. Those moments reveal some of the intensity of Billy Beane’s character and his approach to the game — as he says, he hates losing even more than he loves winning, which at times leads him to behave with a cold indifference to the feelings or even the humanity of his players. As Billy Beane Brad Pitt turns in one of his best performances, suggesting a depth and complexity beneath his sometimes cynical manipulations, his offhand brusqueness, and his bursts of rage. Muscular and graceful, unlike a lot of actors he actually looks like an athlete, working out with a physical intensity to contend with the demons of regret, anger, and anxiety that haunt his psyche. In a couple of silent, nicely understated moments, “Moneyball” also reveals that despite his steadfast refusal to romanticize baseball and its players, he participates in the loneliness and melancholy that lurk beneath the surface of this beautiful, joyful game.
In the summer of 1964 writer Ken Kesey was getting ready to unleash his second novel, “Sometimes A Great Notion.” And though Kesey was still riding the wave of success caused by the critical and commercial reception of his 1962 debut, “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest,” America’s picket-fence climate had changed since that novel’s publication. 1963 had been a year of extremes, from the galvanizing inspiration of one man’s dream to the demoralizing tragedy of another’s assassination. But the possibilities of the future beckoned in the form of the 1964 New York World’s Fair, so Kesey found himself an old International Harvester school bus, loaded it with friends, and took off from the West Coast to get a firsthand look at things.
The “Merry Pranksters” bus featured in the
documentary “Magic Trip.” PHOTO BY TED STRESHINSKY, CORBIS
The Merry Pranksters, as Kesey and his friends were known, also brought along a 16mm camera, and more than 40 years later co-directors Alex Gibney and Alison Ellwood have fashioned that footage into an occasionally interesting documentary of the journey called “Magic Trip: Ken Kesey’s Search for a Kool Place.” The big problem, which narrator Stanley Tucci explains to us right off the bat, is that no one on the bus knew enough about the equipment to sync the audio, which generally leaves us at the mercy of voiceovers, many of which are recreated from transcripts by actors with varying degrees of talent. But once you’re on board — and after someone remembers to fill the gas tank — “Magic Trip” takes off. Kesey’s compadres are a largely generic group of travelers, the most famous being Beat icon Neal Cassady, Jack Kerouac’s inspiration for Dean Moriarty from “On The Road” and, if the footage is accurate, a needy motormouth. The Merry Pranksters all appear to envision themselves as pioneers of sorts, no doubt thanks to the fact that, quite often, they’re totally tripping balls. The burgeoning drug culture informs much of “Magic Trip,” which stops off for an acid-laced interlude at a desert oasis where one woman waxes about becoming “one with the water,” then rewards their cosmic meld by splashing paint all over the pond’s surface. (Which, they claim, resulted in the world’s first tie-dye.) Kesey also recounts his own experiences with LSD, the earliest as part of a 1960 experiment at Stanford. “Magic Trip” includes the actual recording of that session, a fascinating and surreal monologue set to appropriately kaleidoscopic animation. Drama ensues as tempers flare, partners change, and many of the relationships break down over the course of the two-week odyssey. The World’s Fair turns out to be a disappointment, as does Kesey’s long-awaited encounter with a crabby-looking Kerouac and his relative snubbing by Dr. Timothy Leary,
Kesey’s East Coast counterpart. “Magic Trip” also chronicles the journey’s aftermath, as Kesey hosted drug-fueled shindigs to watch the footage, gatherings that even he began to tire of. There’s no question that “Magic Trip” is an important document of a specific time, place, and hoped-for ideal, but in the absence of historical reaction, the Merry Pranksters can’t help but come off like a gang of zonked-out attention hounds, barreling through the shifting American landscape under the guise of love and freedom but seemingly, selfishly, just trying to get both f**ked and f**ked up. One of the planet’s premier animators, Bill
Plympton has been honing his craft on the studio fringe for the last 40 years. Oh, you’ve seen his work; Plympton’s made dozens of acclaimed films, both shorts and features, plus he’s got a couple of Academy Award nominations under his belt (one for the first chapter in the hilarious “Guard Dog” series). Plympton is currently touring the country in support of his illustrated autobiography “Independently Animated,” and he’ll be at the Dryden this weekend to present his most recent feature, the heavenly dark comedy “Idiots and Angels.” Rendered in Plympton’s trademark style — essentially a deceptively lo-fi deployment of colored pencils — “Idiots and Angels” tells the dialogue-free story of Angel, a man so mean he actually wakes up growling. We see him through days filled with road rage and misogyny, until one morning, when he’s understandably shocked to see wings sprouting from his back. He tries to continue his odious ways, even using his newfound mobility to moon an airplane, but the feathery appendages have another, kinder agenda of their own. There’s music by Tom Waits, imaginatively seamless transitions between scenes, and a simple story of involuntary redemption that finds a strange beauty in unlikely places.
CONFESSIONS OF AN OPIUM EATER
Wednesday, Sept. 28, 8 p.m. An astonishing artifact of Orientalist exploitation, Confessions of an Opium Eater stars Vincent Price as Gilbert “son of Thomas” De Quincey, a 19th-century explorer who lands in San Francisco at the height of a Tong war. Fueled by opium, philosophy, and fear, De Quincey plunges himself into a labyrinthine nightmare from which he can’t escape. Confessions has been called “one of the most bizarre, beautiful, and poetic Z-films ever made.” (Albert Zugsmith, US 1962, 85 min., 16mm)
Legendary animator Bill Plympton with IDIOTS AND ANGELS Movies for movie lovers, 6 nights a week. Vincentennial
Saturday, Oct. 1, 8 p.m. A selfish, abusive man awakens to discover himself blessed with a pair of wings. At first frustrated by his new appendages, he must battle those who wish to exploit them. With soundtrack contributions from Tom Waits, Pink Martini, and others. Plympton will sign copies of his new book Independently Animated, and pledges hand-drawn caricatures to all who purchase a copy. PLUS: A special preview of his restoration work on Winsor McCay’s 1921 short The Flying House. (Bill Plympton, US 2008, 78 min.)

Long Live the Queen
62 Brighton Street
On the quiet corner of Brighton and Cambridge
and side yards. Other characteristic Queen
Streets in the heart of the Park Avenue neighborhood, a venerable queen holds court. Her carefully selected attire befits a monarch of her age, every color and ornament chosen to complement her regal stature. In summer, she surrounds herself in flowers and rests in the shade of equally majestic trees. She is gracious and welcoming to all who approach.
Anne features are the varied window shapes and configurations (some with colored glass), complex roofline with cross gables, and decorative woodwork.
Many call this queen “Victoria,” but her real name is “Anne,” as in the Queen Anne style of architecture. The Queen Anne style flourished in the United States in the late-19th century, one of many architectural fashions associated with the reign of Queen Victoria. The term “Victorian” is frequently misused; in fact it does not refer to a specific style, but to a period in English history: Queen Victoria’s long reign, which spanned the years 1837-1901. “Queen Anne,” on the other hand, does refer to an architectural style, characterized by asymmetry, elaborate decorative woodwork, steep and complex rooflines, and varied textures and patterns. Turrets, wraparound porches, and “gingerbread” trim are often associated with Queen Anne architecture. Built in 1883, the house at 62 Brighton Street epitomizes this picturesque style. Typical of the Queen Anne style is its partial wraparound porch, which offers generous space for outdoor living. A delightful detail, carved in the small pediment above the porch stairs, is an acorn motif; fittingly, a tall oak is one of three handsome mature trees in the front
You’ll find elegant historic detail inside as well. The front hall boasts a richly detailed stair with original woodwork. Beside the hall is a double parlor, each parlor featuring a gas fireplace with a decorative surround. The dining room’s walls are angled to take advantage of natural light throughout the day. At the back of the house is the kitchen, generously sized and updated with stainless-steel appliances. Upstairs are three large bedrooms, one smaller bedroom, and one small dressing room or study. A washer and dryer are conveniently located on the second floor. The house has a full bath on the first and second floors. Both the attic and basement are unfinished and offer ample storage space. Well-planned landscaping offers several secluded, private areas for outdoor living and entertaining. The 2,066-square-foot house at 62 Brighton Street is offered at $197,900. If you’d like to meet the queen, practice your curtsey, dust off your favorite tiara, and call Nothnagle agent Karen Rapp at 319-8906.

The medical establishment generally regards placentas (afterbirth) as biohazardous waste, but to New York City placenta chef Jennifer Mayer, they are a nutrient-laden meat that can alleviate postpartum depression and aid in breast milk production (among other so-far-unverified benefits). Mayer typically sets up in clients’ own kitchens, she told New York magazine for an August story. Some placentas are “really intense, with grief or sadness or uncertainty.” Others might be “joyful,” “big and round.” Mayer’s method: Drain the blood, blot dry, cook for a half-hour (leaving something resembling brisket), chop into slivers, dehydrate overnight (rendering it jerky-like). For a popular touch, Mayer then grinds it in a blender and pours the powder into several dozen (one-a-day) capsules.
Can’t Possibly Be True — The Learning Channel’s “Toddlers & Tiaras” series has pushed critics’ buttons enough with its general support of the competitive world of child beauty pageants, but a recent episode provoked unusually rabid complaints, according to a September New York Post report. Mother Lindsay Jackson had costumed her 4-year-old Maddy as “Dolly Parton” -- anatomically correct (chest and backside) Dolly Parton. The Post described Maddy as “embarrass(ed)” at her chest when another 4-year-old pointed at her and asked, “What is that?” (Ultimately, the judges liked Maddy -- for “sweetest face.”) — Things You Didn’t Think Existed: (1) World Record for Length of Tonsils: Justin Werner, 21, of
Topeka, Kan., was certified in July by the Guinness Book, with tonsils measuring 2.1 inches and 1.9 inches, respectively. The old “champion” was Justin Dodge of Milwaukee. (2) Global Competition in Dominos: The breakaway Georgian region of Abkhazia will be the site, in October, of the world domino championship. (Twenty-five countries belong to the International Domino Federation.) — Retired U.S. Army Sgt. Maj. Rob Dickerson finally received his Purple Heart this summer, four years after he was seriously wounded in a rocket attack in Iraq and two years after he began a paperwork battle with the Army to “prove” his injury. Recently, the Army had apologized and mailed him the award, but it arrived C.O.D., leaving Dickerson to pay the $21 fee. (The Army subsequently reimbursed Dickerson the fee, but Dickerson said he hasn’t been able to cash the check, in that it was erroneously made out to “Roy Dirksen.”)
Inexplicable Madrid’s Getafe soccer club, struggling for customers, startled Spain this summer by commissioning a porn movie, with zombies, hoping to attract more fans. As if that were not quixotic enough, it then tied the movie to a campaign to solicit spermbank donations. Explained the film’s producer, Angel Torres, “We have to move a mass of fans to seed the world with Getafe supporters.” A promo for the film follows a Getafe fan, armed with a copy of the movie for his viewing pleasure, as he disappears into a clinic’s private cubicle to fulfill his donation.

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Expel your energy through competitive activities. If you impress others with your skills and sportsmanship, you will not have to do anything but wait for that special someone to come to you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Avoid becoming too enamored with a co-worker. Anxiety will transpire into overreacting and, worst-case scenario, a poor reputation or job loss. Keep a low profile at work and, if you really want to pursue love, sign up for a dating service that offers high-quality results. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Play the game of love and win. You will
be admired and pursued by all sorts of eligible suitors, but deciding on one may be difficult. Don’t feel pressured; instead, eliminate anyone who doesn’t give you the time and space you require to make the best choice possible. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll be fooling yourself if you fall for a fast-talking partner. Back up and consider what you have to offer. If the person pursuing you isn’t bringing as much to the relationship, move on. Don’t accept less than what you want just because you don’t want to be alone. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You need a change of scenery or
location. You’ll do best finding love when you are in unfamiliar surroundings. The more aggressive you are, the easier it will be to attract attention. Let your intentions be known, and it won’t be long until someone with similar goals asks you out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have to forget about failed relationships if you are ever going to move on. Socializing and travel are highlighted; they will be conducive to having fun and bringing you in contact with someone who offers friendship before intimacy. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Nothing will be stable if you let
your emotions lead to impulsive actions. Passion will be difficult to contain, but before you give your heart to someone, make sure ulterior motives are not involved. Slow down and get to know the object of your affection. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Being secretive is fine, but when it comes to someone you love, it is best to share your thoughts and intentions. Keeping things to yourself will lead to a dead end. Liberate yourself by sharing your feelings, dreams and hopes for the future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Set your sights high and don’t
give up until you reach your goal. A change in your position and status is apparent if you pursue someone who can influence your financial position. Don’t settle for a relationship that won’t fulfill your needs when you can do so much better. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may want to take a pass. You are likely to be charmed by someone who is after what you have, not who you are. Back up and reconsider what’s being offered in return. If the relationship isn’t equal, you may want to move on. Loss is likely.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make a commitment if it will seal a deal with someone you love. There is plenty to gain if you make a move that will help lessen your overhead and that encourages security, stability and long-term love. Don’t pass up the chance of a lifetime. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Expect the unexpected when it comes to love. Not everyone will feel the same way you do about the person you want to pursue. Check out the past of your potential partner before you become too involved to think rationally about what you might discover.
