The faces of barbarism

Government and media opinionaters call the beheadings of several journalists (and other activities of ISIS) “barbaric,” yet they do not acknowledge the “barbarism” of disembodying thousands of human beings and splaying blood and guts, flesh and bones all over the Earth with their magnificent and “sophisticated” weaponry.

They call the executioner a coward for not showing his or her face; yet they drop bombs and fire missiles from drones guided by someone thousands of miles away.

The “executioner’s face” is ALWAYS well hidden, isn’t it?

I think each of us would be best served by sitting quietly with the afflictions of greed, hatred, anger, and delusion with which we have allowed our minds to be gripped, until we realize what we are truly serving and we recognize the “true face” of the executioner and the executed.

May all beings be liberated from suffering.

Tim Louis Macaluso is a terrific reporter, and he’s covered the mayor’s proposed “3 to 3” plan well (“Lovely Warren: Rochester’s Mother Mayor”). However, he states that the mayor campaigned “against” the school district, and that the city, county, and school district have a failed history of working together.

Although there’s truth to this, we, ROC the Future, are happy to share the progress made to date and lift the work of ROC the Future to promote alignment and coordination of these intergovernmental agencies.

The city, county, school district, and several dozen other key community leaders for children participate in ROC the Future, our community’s replication of a successful cradle-to-career effort in Cincinnati that has raised educational outcomes.

The mayor invokes ROC the Future in her “3 to 3” plan, particularly its proposal for comprehensive screening of 3-year-olds, and she personally participates at the ROC the Future conveners’ table.

This group is dedicated to doing the hard work our community needs to align programs and accomplish system change, and the mayor’s proposals fit right in.

On October 17, Mayor Warren, Superintendent Bolgen Vargas, and County Executive Maggie Brooks will together help ROC the Future present its annual report card in a “State of Our Children” breakfast. Come see alignment in the making!

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Heroes and cowards in the climate-change war I would so love to know what really goes on in the mind of Mitch McConnell. Anybody with any sense knows what’s coming if we don’t do something about climate change – quickly. And yet late last week, there was the Kentucky senator, helping lead the resistance.

This is the man who may very well be the next majority leader of the US Senate.

McConnell’s target last week was a new World Bank declaration addressing one of the chief causes of climate change: carbon emissions. The declaration, which according to the New York Times has been signed “by 74 countries and more than 1000 businesses and investors,” urges governments to require industries to pay for their carbon emissions – through a carbon tax, for instance.

Coal, of course, is one of the culprits, and McConnell represents a state where coal has been a huge industry. Nobody would suggest that he shouldn’t be concerned about his state’s economic interests. But he also ought to be concerned about the economic interests and the physical health of people around the world. He could do that by leading efforts to move his state’s economic dependency away from coal.

Instead, he’s helping the climate-change deniers, insisting that the people pressing for something like a carbon tax are “global elites.” (This is nothing new; asked last spring whether he believes in climate change, he told the Cincinnati Enquirer: “I don’t buy it.”)

McConnell is not dumb. He has three college degrees, including one in law from the University of Kentucky. So he has to know what’s happening.

Glaciers are melting. Sea levels are rising, and they’ll eventually flood major coastal cities. Storms are becoming more intense.

Droughts are longer. The oceans, which absorb some of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, are becoming more acidic, and that’s destroying coral reefs. Wildlife is seeking new habitat. Scientists now predict that about half of the bird species in North America will move to different regions, and some will become extinct.

The Environmental Protection Agency projects that by the end of this century, the southeastern and southwestern United States will see temperatures with a high of more than 90 degrees for more than 150 days every year (compared to 60 now) – and the highs will be 10 degrees hotter than they are now. Those of us in the north will have colder, stormier winters.

And Elizabeth Ferris, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, writes that

“one of the most far-reaching consequences of climate change is likely to be on the movement of people,” with “hundreds of millions of people” displaced.

None of this is new – other than the pace of the change. It’s faster than scientists had been predicting. But to watch the United States’ response, you’d never know there’s a problem.

Since Barack Obama became president, the federal government has expanded areas open to offshore drilling, weakened strip-mining regulations for Kentucky, and auctioned leases for coal extraction from public land in Wyoming. The push continues for more hydrofracking (and I’d bet that Governor Cuomo will join it right after next month’s election). If the Republicans win control of the Senate this year, approval of the Keystone Pipeline looks like a certainty.

In his United Nations speech about climate change last week, President Obama bragged about the reduction in “our total carbon pollution.” But Europe has cut carbon emissions more than we have – and after a dip in US emissions, apparently due to the recession, ours went back up in 2013.

Coal consumption is down – in this country. But at the same time that we urge other countries to cut back on their pollution, we’re shipping a substantial amount of coal abroad, making money off of the international pollution. And we’re becoming a major oil exporter.

The US, as environmental activist Bill McKibben puts it, is “a global-warming machine.”

“At the moment when physics tells us we should be jamming on the carbon brakes,” McKibben wrote in Rolling Stone late last year, “America is revving the engine.”

Not everybody is waiting for the climate deniers to get out of the way. One hundred eighty US institutions, organizations, and governments have promised to sell their fossil-fuel investments. Significantly, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund joined that movement in late September.

Forty companies have pledged to help end deforestation in tropical regions. And

Resistance to dealing with climate change is an intellectual issue and a political issue.

But above all, it’s a moral issue.” other companies, including tech giants Apple, Google, and Facebook, are already working on getting their power from renewable sources like solar. Apple has built a solar plant in North Carolina to power one of its operations.

What we have, then, is the struggle for the health of the planet being led by individual environmentalists marching in the streets, by underfunded environment non-profits, by individual businesses and institutions, and by a handful of states (California, predictably, among them but not, alas, the “progressive” state of New York).

This is an intellectual issue, with an antiintellectual, anti-science sentiment helping sway public policy in a country whose citizens say they value education.

It’s also a democracy-for-sale issue. A study by the Tampa Bay Times’ Politifact found that only eight out of the 278 Republican members of Congress have been willing to go on record as accepting the fact that people are causing global warming.

There could be more than eight: not all Republicans have taken a public stand on the issue. But that in itself is stunning.

Like Mitch McConnell, most of these people are not stupid. So what’s getting in the way of science and concern about the future of the planet? The fossil-fuel industry’s money.

Above all, this is a moral issue. Fighting climate change – putting the United States at the lead in fighting climate change – shouldn’t be a hard call for politicians; they’re certainly not shy in speaking out against terrorism.

For industries to put their own financial gains above the needs of the world’s people is callous. But for politicians like Mitch McConnell to give in to them? I’m not sure what the best word is.

[ NEWS FROM THE WEEK PAST ]

Grad rate inches up The Rochester school district projects a 50.5 percent graduation rate for the Class of 2014.

The rate, which is a small increase from last year’s graduation rate, still has to be certified by the state. This year’s class was the first required to pass all Regents exams in order to graduate.

Dedications for two Rochester notables

A street within the Midtown site downtown has been named Andrew Langston Way in honor of the founder of WDKX-FM, who died in 2010. WDKX was one of the first blackowned radio stations in New York. The street begins at East Main Street opposite the Liberty Pole and runs south to Elm Street. Also, the Rochester Riverside Convention Center has been renamed the Joseph A. Floreano Rochester Riverside Convention Center. Floreano had been the center’s executive director for three decades. He died last week.

Comcast-TWC decision looms

New York regulators are expected to make their

decision on the Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger by the end of fall — probably during the Public Service Commission’s November 13 session. The companies say that they want a final order from the commission no later than November 19.

Climate show and tell

At a UN climate summit in New York City, world leaders talked about the progress that their countries have made reducing greenhouse gas emissions and otherwise acting on climate change. President Barack Obama ran through a list of steps that the US has taken to reduce carbon emissions, but he also said that as the world’s largest economy, it’s up to America to lead on climate action.

Tax cap stands

A state judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by the New York State United Teachers to overturn the state’s tax cap. The union argued that the law prevents local districts from funding their schools at higher levels, if they want to. NYSUT says that it may amend and refile the lawsuit.

DEVELOPMENT | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

College Town is filling up A quick drive around Mt. Hope and Elmwood avenues shows an area completely transformed as a result of the $100 million College Town project under way.

“It’s unbelievable,” says Dan Hurley, president of the Upper Mt. Hope Neighborhood Association. “It’s long overdue.”

The first retail opening in the 14acre, mixed-use development will be the Barnes & Noble bookstore on October 17. The store will be the University of Rochester’s official campus bookstore, and also serve the general public.

That event will be followed by a larger ceremony sometime next spring,

Hurley says. By then, he says, many more of the stores, restaurants, and other businesses should be open.

The University of Rochester should move into its College Town office space by November 1, says Fred Wilbur, a senior project manager at Gilbane Development.

Gilbane and Fairmount Properties are jointly developing College Town.

Hurley says that the College Town storefronts are more than 80 percent leased. Other businesses coming include Flight Wine Bar, Hilton Garden Inn, Corner Bakery Café, and Canandaigua National Bank.

Constantino’s Market, a 20,000-square-foot grocery store, is also slated for College Town.

Senator Chuck Schumer announced on Monday that the store will get approximately $750,000 in federal funding to cover start-up costs.

College Town will also have a cycle track — which is a dedicated passageway for bicyclists — and there’s talk of a drug store, Hurley says.

“The one thing I have an issue with, and there’s nothing anybody can do about it, is traffic,” he says. “But what are you going to do? Everybody wants that problem.”

“I think one of the growing frustrations within the party is that David [Gantt] is never clear about what he wants. I think people’s frustration is it always feels like a moving target. So whatever you do, you can just be sure that was the wrong thing to do.” [ JOE MORELLE ]

POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE

New party leader faces early test These are tense times for the Monroe County Democratic Party.

Last week, party members elected a new chair, Dave Garretson, to replace Joe Morelle, who had lead the county Democratic Committee for the past nine years. Garretson won a commanding victory against Rochester for Obama founder Ken Preston and Henrietta Democratic Committee leader Simeon Banister.

But the night belonged to State Assembly member David Gantt.

Minutes before Dems cast their votes for chair, Gantt and approximately two dozen of his supporters walked out of the room at the downtown Hyatt. It was an unabashed protest, and a jarring reminder of the current turmoil in the party.

Patching the rifts — rooted to a good extent in race and struggles over power — is a matter of urgency to many Democrats and an early leadership test for Garretson.

Democrats are headed into a big election year in 2015; the county executive’s seat is up, as is control of the County Legislature.

Leaders, including Garretson, said that it’ll be difficult to run winning campaigns without a unified party. Dems need strong city turnout to win the executive race, in particular.

Garretson said that he’s willing to sit down and talk to anyone in the party and that he looks forward to hearing Gantt’s advice on how to proceed.

“They want to be heard and I am ready to listen,” Garretson said during an interview late last week.

Gantt and his allies laid out some of their complaints after they walked out of last week’s meeting. Committees aren’t giving designations to black candidates with grassroots support, they said. And there’s been a failure to promote blacks within the party, they said. And they said that they’re unhappy that some prominent Democrats campaigned for former mayor Tom Richards after he lost the primary to eventual mayor Lovely Warren.

Gantt told the black Democrats gathered around him — the group included City Council member Adam McFadden, school board member Cynthia Elliott, and former County Legislator Calvin Lee — that from now on, “if the Democratic Party wants something from us, they have to ask us.”

And in return, he said, they’ll ask how the black community will benefit from the support they give the party.

Gantt said that he wants to make sure that party leaders listen to Democrats in the black community, as well all groups in the community.

“The Democratic Party ought to be the party of the people,” he said.

But in the days following the meeting, some key Democrats said they aren’t sure what Gantt wants. Morelle said that the party has backed quite a few black candidates, including members of City Council, the school board, and the County Legislature.

And the county party’s top leadership backed Warren after her primary win.

Party members want to work with Gantt, Morelle said, but Gantt’s demeanor and actions push them away.

“I think one of the growing frustrations within the party is that David is never clear about what he wants,” Morelle said. “I think people’s frustration is it always feels like a moving target. So whatever you do, you can just be sure that was the wrong thing to do.”

Jim Vogel, a Brighton Town Board member and MCDC vice chair, said that he likes and respects Gantt, and that the two of them have had a good working relationship.

He said that he plans to reach out to Gantt to discuss Gantt’s concerns. The party needs

to listen to Gantt, understand where he’s coming from, and then build from there, Vogel said.

Vogel said that he suspects that Gantt and his allies want a greater role at party headquarters and that they think headquarters should do more to identify and recruit candidates of color and help them grow.

“He’s a savvy guy and we need his input,” Vogel said. “We need his help and he needs ours.”

Vogel said that he has confidence in Garretson’s ability to work through the conflict. Garretson is an inclusive person, he said, who will do his best to unite the party.

“He is a man of integrity and openness,” Vogel said. “He’s the real deal.”

RELIGION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

The church inside the Catholic Church

Jamie Manson’s efforts to bring about a more inclusive Catholic Church, one that includes women priests and same-sex marriage, have not endeared her to the church’s hierarchy.

But she said that she remains committed to Catholicism and of what she called Catholics’ “sacramental” view of the world.

“In the Catholic imagination, every experience we have, every person we encounter is capable of revealing God to us,” she said. “One of my messages is to take a look at where we find sacramental realities in our day to day lives.”

Manson received her master’s degree from Yale Divinity School and writes a weekly column, “Grace on the Margins,” for the National Catholic Reporter newspaper and website. She will give a lecture, “Envisioning an Inclusive Church,” at Nazareth College at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 16, as part of the William H. Shannon Lecture Series.

During a recent interview, Mason said that Catholics are not as conservative as they are often portrayed. And she said that she’s concerned by the media’s rock star treatment of Pope Francis. The following is an edited version of that discussion.

CITY: Your lecture is titled “Envisioning an Inclusive Church.” What is your definition of inclusiveness?

Manson: My vision of an inclusive church has to include women priests, and honoring the fact that we can’t say who God calls and does not call to the priesthood.

It includes LGBT people by honoring their relationships with the same holiness, faithfulness, and importance as straight couples’. Even beyond that, we talk about serving the poor and the marginalized, but we need to bring them into our communities.

Some faith communities do ordain women and support marriage equality. Are Catholics too conservative for a modern world or are they misunderstood?

Catholics in the US are not that conservative.

Poll after poll has shown that the majorities of Catholics believe in the ordination of women and believe in same-sex marriage.

A few years ago, when there was the controversy about contraception and the Affordable Care Act, it was revealed that 98 percent of Catholic women in this country have used contraception.

I don’t think the issue is that Catholics are that conservative. The problem is that the bishops and the hierarchy get very stuck on their teachings and don’t engage with people who disagree. There’s a very big divide between what Catholics in the pews are thinking about these issues and what the bishops are saying.

6 CITY

OCTOBER 1-7, 2014

Many people commend the church for standing on its principles in the face of an increasingly permissive society.

Is the conservative stance a refuge for some people?

Providing a refuge for people is one of the roles of religion and has historically been one of the roles of the Catholic Church.

If you think about the immigrants of the late 19th and 20th centuries, the church was a refuge for people coming from other countries, feeling lost, and discriminated against. They had foreign languages and foreign customs, and the church provided them with a comforting place.

But the church isn’t even willing to discuss the possibility that some teachings are not working. Then the church becomes a reactionary place — a place where people Jamie Manson will be at Nazareth College on October 16. PROVIDED PHOTO are afraid of change and afraid of progress.

There’s always a need for people involved religious doctrine is frequently used by men differently. But there is something in the way with religious leadership to have humility, Catholicism has been formulated and the way to control women. The Catholic Church a certain level of self-doubt that allows certainly isn’t ISIS, but is it fair to ask in which many Catholics do ministry, that whether the church is also guilty of trying to them to say, “You know my theories — my control women? recognizes that God is in the encounter — teachings are very good and they’ve worked I think that the church is guilty of God is very much in the world.

ENERGY | BY JEREMY MOULE

T

he owner of the R.E. Ginna nuclear power plant says that the facility may close unless it gets a new contract for the sale of its electricity. And even that may only be enough to keep the aging nuclear plant going for a few more years, the owner says.

Prior to June, Rochester Gas and Electric was contractually obligated to purchase 90 percent of Ginna’s output. But the 10-year agreement expired that month, and Ginna has since started selling its electricity into New York’s competitive marketplace. Even under the RG&E contract — at times, the utility paid above market prices for power, at others it paid below market prices — the plant was running in the red. The commission’s filing says that Ginna’s losses have significantly exceeded $100 million over the last three years.

That’s why Constellation, a subsidiary of nuclear energy giant Exelon, is asking state utilities regulators to clear the way for a new, albeit temporary contract with RG&E; the utility would buy power from Ginna on an as-needed basis at negotiated prices.

The so-called reliability support services agreement would forestall Ginna’s retirement, Constellation’s filing says.

Without the contract, Constellation management will recommend the plant’s retirement to the company’s board of directors, the filing says. The filing doesn’t say how much of an impact the contract would have on the plant’s bottom line, and the company declined to discuss details of its request.

8 CITY

OCTOBER 1-7, 2014

“The filing is a proactive step to ensure grid reliability and continue the station’s positive economic impact on the local community and the Central New York region,” Maria Hudson, a spokesperson for Ginna, says in an e-mailed statement.

Hudson says that the plant will continue operating as the Public Service Commission reviews its request, and that Constellation will keep working to “identify market-based solutions that enable us to keep operating Ginna.”

So what does any of this mean to Rochester-area electric customers?

Unfortunately, there’s no clear answer. Using a temporary contract to prop up the plant could cost RG&E customers if its terms include above-market prices. But letting the plant go offline could also bump up utility bills, since filling supply gaps would likely carry some costs.

Rochester Gas and Electric hasn’t taken a firm position on Constellation’s request.

“If the commission directs us to, RG&E will negotiate an RSSA with the best interests of our customers in the forefront, while recognizing the importance of reaching reasonable terms for all parties,” Mark Lynch, RG&E president and CEO, says in a statement.

Ginna’s cloudy future is a matter of economics. Its majority owner, Constellation Nuclear Energy Group, says in a recent filing with the State Public Service Commission that the price it’s getting for its electricity won’t be enough to cover the plant’s operating and investment costs.

But Constellation’s request does have critics, including owners of other New York power plants. They’re concerned that the company is essentially trying to get special treatment by skirting the commission’s process for plant retirements. That process has firm, detailed rules that are meant to protect other power providers, utility companies, electricity customers, and the state’s competitive market, they say.

“There [are] a whole lot of lawyers representing the competition who want to see those boundaries maintained,” says Mike Jacobs, a senior energy analyst with the Union of Concerned Scientists, a national environmental organization that says it’s not for or against nuclear power.

The commission doesn’t have a deadline to complete its review of Ginna’s request, according to a commission spokesperson. In its petition, Constellation says that it wants to have the temporary contract with RG&E filed by December 1, and for it to go into effect no later than January 11, 2015.

Nuclear power plant owners have been

shutting down financially underperforming reactors across the country. And analysts at major financial research firms, including Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s, have warned that more economically stressed

plants are likely to close before their federal licenses expire.

In their reports, the analysts have repeatedly said that Ginna is a likely candidate for closure, since it’s a smaller plant selling into a competitive market dominated by cheaper electricity sources.

Fracking plays a big role in this trend.

Over the past few years, large supplies of natural gas have been extracted from shale formations in Pennsylvania, Texas, Wyoming, and other states. As a result, the price of natural gas has plummeted, which has enabled power plants that run on the fuel to produce lots of electricity much more cheaply than they previously could.

The way that New York’s deregulated electricity market works, all generators are essentially paid the same base rate for their power. That rate is set through an intricate process, but it’s basically an average of what the different plants charge for the power they are able to produce. And when a group of plants can produce a lot of energy cheaply, which is what natural gas plants have been able to do, it drives down the price paid to all power plants.

This is exactly how New York’s power market is supposed to function. It was designed to drive down what consumers pay

for electricity by giving an incentive to efficient plants and encouraging the retirement of lessefficient plants.

The nuclear industry once backed this approach, known generally as utility deregulation. But now, nuclear industry representatives say that the competitive electricity markets are flawed. A policy brief from the Nuclear Energy Institute, an industry group, says that the market operators set power prices for nuclear electricity too low.

The brief also says that market operators undervalue nuclear’s contributions to states’ electric systems, particularly the protection that nuclear offers against volatility in natural gas prices and supplies. To illustrate that need, nuclear energy supporters point to the natural gas shortages that occurred during a period of harsh cold last winter. In Upstate New York and much of the Northeast, tight gas supplies drove up the cost of generating power, and many customers saw a spike in their utility bills.

The contract that Ginna wants would

temporarily prop up the plant, though it may not make it profitable.

And Constellation says that there is still need for Ginna’s power. Its petition to the Public Service Commission is built around a reliability study from the New York Independent Systems Operator, the organization that manages the state’s power grid. The study, conducted at Constellation’s request, says that without Ginna or some other power source equal to that plant’s output, the

“THERE NEEDS TO BE A REALLY GOOD PROCESS TO FIGURE OUT IS THIS PLANT REALLY NEEDED FOR RELIABILITY, WHICH WE’RE SKEPTICAL OF.” JESSICA AZULAY, ALLIANCE FOR A GREEN ECONOMY.

Rochester-area electric system could experience reliability problems through 2018 — meaning that there’s an outside chance that there won’t be enough power to go around when demand is at its peak.

Tentatively, RG&E officials expect to have a significant transmission upgrade, the Rochester Area Reliability Project, completed in 2018. Constellation’s filing says that the need for Ginna’s power is tied to that transmission project.

But RG&E officials say that the project is not intended to replace Ginna. If Ginna retires, further transmission systems upgrades would probably be necessary, they say.

Constellation’s request has supporters, including a handful of elected officials who have submitted comments backing the temporary contract. House Representatives Dan Maffei and Tom Reed made a joint submission supporting the agreement; State Senator George Maziarz, who chairs his chamber’s energy committee, submitted supportive comments; and Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks has given it her backing.

Ginna’s owners and supporters also tout economic benefits from continued operation of the plant. Ginna regularly employs 700 people and is the largest taxpayer in Wayne County — in 2012, it paid $10 million in local and state taxes. Owners also say that the plant offers environmental benefits to the state. It’d be harder and more expensive for the state to meet its greenhouse gas emissions

reduction goals without Ginna, the company’s commission filing says.

Brooks says that Ginna is a critical part of the local power infrastructure and that she doesn’t know how its power would be replaced.

“Nuclear power is still one of the most costeffective ways of providing power to a lot of people,” Brooks says.

But opponents of Constellation’s request say

that the company is asking the state’s utilities regulator to do something unprecedented.

The Public Service Commission has an established and detailed process for retiring power plants. And that process doesn’t start until a plant owner makes a formal filing stating that the decision has been made to close.

From there, the commission orders studies to examine whether the plant’s power supply is needed for reliability purposes and for how long. Through that process, plant owners can get contracts to keep the facilities running temporarily.

But the closing proceedings also open up a process where other power providers, large and small, can offer proposals to meet identified electricity supply needs.

In a filing, New York City officials asked the commission to reject Constellation’s petition because of the precedent it could set.

In that city’s market, any retiring generator would probably cause a reliability issue, they say. And they worry that plant owners could try to hold utilities and their customers captive by threatening to retire unless they get a reliability support services contract.

Catholic Church continues from page 6

We know very well that women and children suffer disproportionally from poverty, violence, human trafficking, sex trafficking, and a lack of basic resources.

And a lot of that has to do with this notion that women are not equal.

And if you don’t support women and gender equality, how can you condemn domestic violence?

That’s right. There’s a question there because ultimately these systems where women and men need each other and complement each other always boil down to women being subordinate to men. And that makes it really difficult to wage a strong argument against domestic violence.

Nuclear Option continues from page 9

The Alliance for a Green Economy, a coalition of environmental social justice groups including the state Sierra Club chapter, also wants the commission to reject Constellation’s petitions. In general, the organization wants New York to phase out nuclear power plants. (Many environmentalists oppose nuclear power; they see it as potentially unsafe and take issue with some of the ecological impacts, particularly the plants’ use of large quantities of water.)

established mechanism or process to grant Constellation’s request. But he says that there are other avenues that the company — and other New York nuclear plant owners — could take if it wants to improve Ginna’s financial performance. For example, it could petition the Public Service Commission to set a higher carbon price, which would increase generating costs for fossil fuel generators in the state.

Azulay and Jacobs say that Ginna’s situation highlights a bigger issue around

10 CITY OCTOBER 1-7, 2014

I think that people are hungry for leadership of integrity in the Catholic Church. We are living in a time of such extreme distrust of authority, and in the Catholic Church it’s justified given all that’s happened with the sex abuse scandals. We’re looking for somebody who really lives the Gospels’ values.

Certainly, Pope Francis, through a lot of his words and a lot of the imagery, seems to be doing that. There’s extraordinary footage of him embracing the poor, embracing the marginalized.

And for many that looks like what we have come to know about Jesus. And that’s all really important stuff.

But he’ll say we need a deeper theology of women, and then he’ll say that women are mothers and nurturers.

He’ll say things like, “Who am I to judge gay people?” But then he’ll say that marriage is absolutely about one man and one woman.

I don’t see him ever ordaining women or marrying a same-sex couple. And my concern has been that media coverage of Pope Francis always gives us the hopeful sound bite, but there’s also a sentence that comes later that is not given to us.

“NUCLEAR POWER IS STILL ONE OF THE MOST COSTEFFECTIVE WAYS OF PROVIDING POWER TO A LOT OF PEOPLE.” MONROE COUNTY EXECUTIVE MAGGIE BROOKS. The group says that straying from the established plant retirement process limits other possibilities for filling identified electricity needs, including renewables development or large-scale energy efficiency projects.

“There needs to be a really good process to figure out is this plant really needed for reliability, which we’re skeptical of,” says Jessica Azulay, program director for AGREE. “If they are, how long are they actually needed, and what can we do to phase them out as quickly as possible in a way that is the most environmentally friendly and the best for ratepayers?”

Jacobs, of the Union of Concerned Scientists, says that the situation facing

Ginna is more political than regulatory. It hinges on a question of whether the public and government officials want nuclear plants to keep running, he says. And if that’s the case, he says, are they willing to offer heftier subsidies to the plants?

Jacobs says that the state Public Service Commission doesn’t have an

electric system planning. Pretty much all nuclear plants were built at a time when natural gas and electricity prices were higher.

The utility industry isn’t sure how to handle the new reality, where other large generators can out-price them.

But the utility industry has also been warned that these closures might come, they say. Utility companies, grid operators, regulators, and policymakers should be planning ahead, they say.

The comments from New York City officials echo that point, and say in particular that Ginna’s potential closure should come as no surprise. In fact, city officials’ comments are blunt on that point, and lay the problem at the local utility’s feet.

“Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation should have been preparing for the closure of Ginna, but apparently has not,” their filing says.

Dining ripe peaches while the mild feta brought some salt, (although a touch more was warranted).

My two favorite items on the menu

Aunt Rosie's, on East Main Street, serves Italian style dishes, like (left) bucatini pasta with guanciale, basil, garlic, and parmesan, and (right) gnocchi with lobster, roasted golden beets, and fennel butter sauce. PHOTOS BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

Focused on flavors Aunt Rosie’s 350 EAST MAIN STREET LUNCH: MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY: 10 A.M. TO 4 P.M. DINNER: THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY: 5 P.M. TO 9 P.M. 713-1470; AUNTROSIES.COM [ REVIEW ] BY CHRIS LINDSTROM

I think for every person that enjoys food, there is a restaurant that fits them in a specific way; an eatery that makes them feel at home with dishes on the menu that seem like they were tailor made. For me, that place is now Aunt Rosie’s, and that chef is Paul Vroman.

From the time the restaurant opened last November, Vroman has been working within Aunt Rosie’s nominally Italian menu and using those base dishes as a springboard for his robust flavors. While the menu has had a similar framework throughout the year, a focus on seasonality and local ingredients drive the different versions of dishes to keep things fresh.

My visits crossed over between the last

dinner menu of the summer and the first of the fall, giving a nice sampling of dishes during the seasonal transition.

The salads on the menu are deceptively simple and highlight the best produce at the time. The version on the summer menu ($10) consisted of arugula, heirloom tomatoes, and Mexican Gherkins with First Light bleu cheese and a bright dressing. This was my favorite dish of the summer due to the almost candy sweet cherry tomatoes sourced from Southern Exposure’s rooftop farm and the combination of the bitterness of the greens, fresh cracked pepper, and the halfhard bleu cheese. The fall version ($10) played with the flavors of a Caesar salad with an anchovy dressing on romaine, crispy potato chunks in lieu of croutons, and pickled onions to give more crunch and acid. The fried, hash brown-sized potatoes were little bombs of herbed creaminess that served as an inspired substitution that worked well with the sharper flavors of the rest of the salad.

Risotto ($11 appetizer/$19 entree) was found in two varieties as well, the summer version with baby zucchini and bottarga (a

salt cured fish roe), followed by a pumpkin and chicken liver mousse iteration on the current fall menu. When I bit into the pumpkin and liver mousse, the base flavors melded together to a richness that immediately felt of fall. A sharp gremolata of parsley, lemon zest and hazelnuts brightened things up and added a pleasant contrast.

Keeping with the Italian theme, a rotating selection of perfectly fried and crunchy arancini ($7) and pizzas ($10$13) are menu staples as well. The pizza at Aunt Rosie’s starts with a base flavor that tastes of mildly seasoned focaccia and is cooked in a gas oven that leaves the outer crust airy with a solid crunch throughout.

Not my favorite crust but one that serves the toppings well. Although there are more traditional options like the Margherita and Three Cheese, the combinations I was driven to try were more inventive, like the peach, tomato and feta cheese special my partner and I had from the summer menu. This was another instance where truly knowing your ingredients was the key to success. The meaty, almost savory slices of heirloom tomato balanced out the

were the gnocchi ($13 currently) and the bucatini/spaghetti dish ($11 appetizer/$19 entree). Lobster and roasted golden beets combined beautifully with the seared tender gnocchi and the rich browned fennel butter sauce. Not the kind of combination I would have thought of but the sweet/salty combo from the lobster and beets was an eye opener.

Thin slices of cured guanciale are the focus of the bucatini/spaghetti pasta dish. This is some serious crunchy cured pork that is powerfully salty and meaty in the best possible way. A generous portion comes out as a topping on the al dente pasta with a white wine, basil butter, chile, and garlic sauce that reemphasizes the saltiness and brings some tang to the table. For someone that loves salt like I do, this is a dream come true.

On the current menu the richness is amplified with a soft egg and an accent of Parmesan.

The dessert I’d like to focus on here is the chocolate budino with salted caramel and hazelnuts. A cold rich, semi-dark chocolate pudding is topped with the warm caramel studded with flakes of sea salt and whole toasted hazelnuts bring the crunch. With just the right amount of sweetness and not afraid to bring the salt, this is a dessert I can stand behind.

Another solid option is the citrus olive oil cake served with a bright blueberry compote and chiffonade of basil.

Service at Aunt Rosie’s is consistently warm, welcoming and knowledgeable about the regularly changing menu.

Although the clientele tends to be a bit more on the formal side, the restaurant is quite comfortable and small enough that you will often see Chef Vroman going table to table to make sure everyone enjoyed their meals. It is plainly obvious that I’m a fan of what is going on at Aunt Rosie’s and I truly hope that when you go there you’ll share the same enthusiasm that I do.

Hey, you guys, I’m a little worried.

Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad has put together a record so good, I think the band’s future is in jeopardy.

Steady is a simply amazing album full of the band’s deep-dish reggae, ska, and rock steady with an added burst of curiosity. It’s the best thing the band has ever done. How can it possibly top it? After a few detours to the country and a focus on the band’s ability to jam over the years as if they could read each other’s — and the audiences — mind, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad has produced its most pure, unadulterated recording; 13 tracks that’ll melt your spine with its gregarious groove. Recorded in multiple surroundings with assorted producers, this is pure long-playing, dance party magic. The track “.45” is one of my favorite songs by anybody but has 12 rivals for my two left feet. How is Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad going to top “Steady?” Wait and see, baby. Wait and see. Enjoy this record in the meanby. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Music corporate ideology, and the destruction of the environment. And when I was a kid, people standing up for their beliefs with loud music was absolutely mind-blowing for me. It changed how I saw the world.

You kind of sound like hippies.

Kruger: We are hippies.

Amesmith: When people heard our music it

was like, “Wait, wait, wait, you care about stuff?” And I was like, “Yeah, that’s punk.

I showed up because I kind of wanted to break free from cultural oppression, and some people were like, “Oh no, we don’t do that around here.”

Where does the fun come in?

Kruger: The fun comes at all points.

Amesmith: It’s just funny that somewhere

It ain’t easy being green Green Dreams LISTEN AT GREENDREAMS.BANDCAMP.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

In the never-ending quest to corral punk, to throw a saddle on it and ride, bands and their fans spend countless hours in circular debate over this flexible genre’s beguiling definition and their own adherence to its limits. What is punk?

Who is punk?

Punk is a sound and attitude perfectly exemplified by Rochester’s Green Dreams. Some punks are too punk to admit they’re punk. Not Green Dreams; the band packs a pristine punch but the edges are still frayed. There’s urgency, but no anger, there’s fun but no hollow frivolity. It’s declamatory but not duplicitous. Can you dig it?

Green Dreams — guitarist-singer Jesse Amesmith, bassist Ben Kruger, and drummer Trevor Amesmith — solidified the line-up in 2012 and now has three EPs to its credit: “Pain Don’t Hurt” (2012), “Sweats” (2013), and its latest 7’’ EP, “Rich Man, Poor Man” (2014).

There are also the singles “Goatscraper” and “Body Magic” (both 2012). The trio’s sound is loud, thick, and grungy with minimal intimidation — that is if you don’t want to have fun. Speaking of which, front woman Jesse Amesmith is bubblier than the “Lawrence Welk 16 CITY 0CTOBER 1-7, 2014

Show” and personifies the band’s mission. She came down to the City Newspaper offices to arm wrestle and chat. She dragged Kruger along with her. We kibitzed. Here’s an edited version of what was said.

How did Green Dreams get started?

Jesse Amesmith: I had been playing in a band

called Total Babes and that band stopped being a thing.

That’s a nice way of putting it.

Amesmith: It was just time. I’m a lot to

deal with. I wanted to play more aggressive music. Total Babes was way more poppy and experimental and friendlier and I wanted to play music that was specifically punk — faster, more aggressive.

Why do you suppose aggressive punk is still in the minority despite its popularity?

Amesmith: I don’t know. I think punk got

apathetic somewhere down the way and it became not punk.

But isn’t punk constantly reminding us of what it isn’t?

Ben Kruger: I think listening to less punk,

you lose the point of reference to what it’s supposed to be.

along the way being respectful of your peers wasn’t fun. I still want to see someone swinging from the chandelier, I just don’t want them kicking someone in the face when they jump off. You don’t have to bring other people down just to have a good time. It’s not about being cool, it’s about being a good person. But that’s where I confuse people.

What are Green Dreams’ songs about?

Amesmith: I write about all sorts of stuff: ghosts

and aliens, street harassment, human rights issues, my moods, cats — a lot of cats.

Do you have a formula?

Amesmith: No. If I do, it still doesn’t always

come out as planned.

Kruger: Never.

Who is in your audience?

Amesmith: At first it was just our friends. Now

there are people there that I don’t know because they just like our band, which is pretty cool. A lot of young women are coming to our shows which I’m a fan of.

Are there some that don’t get you? Why? Amesmith: Yes. Outspoken women are hard to

stomach sometimes.

Kruger: People that don’t speak their own

mind; they can’t let it go. They’re envious of our position.

What’s so radical about your message?

Amesmith: Nothing. Initially I was saying,

“Listen I’m just saying we shouldn’t be assholes to one another.” I think what initially attracted me to punk was its outrage at the types of oppression that exist: the man,

Will you ever expand or are you going to keep it a simple three-piece?

Amesmith: For a while we had a friend

playing second guitar but we decided we like three-pieces better. It’s easier to manage, it’s more straight-forward, it’s more of the sound we wanted.

How has Green Dreams evolved?

Kruger: We’ve gotten more into rhythm and

melody. As we’ve gotten older we’ve decided that’s what we like. It’s exciting to try new things like that.

How is it for you, Jesse, specifically fronting the group, singing, and playing guitar?

Amesmith: It’s interesting but it’s manageable.

I think if I was just the singer or just the guitar player I would do things differently. So there’s always this consideration for me. How it’s going to sound when it all comes together?

Am I going to learn something when these two things come together? In this case it’s more of a sound than an attitude.

What’s something you haven’t done yet with the band?

Kruger: We talk about drum machines and

synthesizers all the time

What’s something you’ll never do?

Kruger: Disco. But even KISS said that.

I’m at that age where I’m measuring how old I feel by the mention of how long ago iconic pieces of art came out. Nas’ highly influential and timeless debut album, “Illmatic,” turns 20 this year. Yeah, I’m weeping too.

To celebrate, Nas is kicking off his “Time is Illmatic” anniversary tour in Rochester on Thursday, October 2. Word is that Nas will perform the 10-track, 1994 album in full at the show, “Nas: Time is Illmatic.”

Bummer: Rochester is one of only two places not getting a screening of the Tribeca documentary of the same name.

Nas will perform at The Main Street Armory, 900 Main Street, at 8 p.m. $40-$45. The show is restricted for ages 21 and over for dudes and ages 18 and up for ladies (which kind of skeezes me out). Rochestermainstreetarmory.com; nasirjones.com.

CLASSICAL | ROCHESTER PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA

Music director Ward Stare returns to lead the RPO this week, in a program ceded to him by originally announced guest conductor Jun Märkl. It’s markedly similar to the concert Stare essayed so successfully a couple of weeks ago, beginning with a short, lively piece by a French composer (Saint-Saëns’s “Danse macabre”) and ending with a hyper-Romantic symphony (Berlioz’s delirious, drug-addled “Symphonie fantastique”). Sandwiched between them is a standard concerto played by a far-from-standard soloist: the unfailingly thought-provoking pianist Jeremy Denk. Denk was heard in Rochester last year in a solo recital, and will make his RPO debut playing Beethoven’s First Concerto, which, as program note writers love to point out, is actually his Second. Whatever its place in the lineup, Denk will surely play it memorably.

Jeremy Denk with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra will perform Thursday, October 2, 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, October 4, 8 p.m., at Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre. $16-$92. Rpo.org. — BY DAVID RAYMOND

FOLK | PATTY LARKIN

If a city has a day of appreciation held in a musician’s name, the assumption is they must be pretty good. For Patty Larkin, that is a very safe assumption. The Boston-based — and Boston-loved — singer-songwriter’s warm voice, paired with her fluent guitar playing, combines to create a captivating, incredible soundscape. Her topics aren’t typically cheery — see “Who Holds Your Hand When You’re Alone?” — but it’s always more about deep thought than it is sad.

Patty Larkin with Mary Monroe plays Saturday, October 4, at Café Veritas, First Unitarian Church of Rochester, 220 South Winton Road. 7:30 p.m. $10-$18. Cafeveritas.org; pattylarkin.com. — BY TREVOR LEWIS

CLASSICAL | THE DOVER QUARTET

HIP-HOP | ROCHESTER HIP-HOP UNITED FEST

The Eastman Ranlet Series will begin this weekend with the Dover Quartet, a string quartet of young musicians who are swiftly racing to the top of the classical performance world. The group — violinists Joel Link and Bryan Lee, violist Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt, and cellist Camden Shaw — swept the 2013 Banff International String Quartet Competition in 2013, winning not only the grand prize, but all three of the competition’s special prizes. On Sunday, the Dover Quartet will perform Beethoven’s 1801 String Quartet No. 5, the elegant, haunting “Terra Memoria” by Kaija Saariaho — composed in 2006 — and Dvorak’s Quartet in C Major, Op. 61.

While Rochester is loaded with Jazz, Rock, and Classical music talent, Sage Keber, owner of The Entertainment Collective, also considers the local hip-hop scene to be very healthy. TEC’s Rochester Hip-Hop United Fest is a two-day event that packs in 27 acts and offers networking opportunities with businesses for artists and concertgoers. Thursday’s line-up includes festival co-headliners BEC (Best Ever Crew), releasing its debut mix-tape “Bamboo Lounge.” Rapper Sir Azhay is a natural and has opened for artists like Young The Giant. Friday’s line-up includes festival co-headliner, and Rochester-native, Emilio Rojas. The NYC resident returns back to the 585 for the first time in over a year. Also Saturday, local duo, The Untouchables, features old-school flow that is uncommon among younger acts. Check it out and support your favorite performers.

The Dover Quartet will perform Sunday, October 5, at Kilbourn Hall, 26 Gibbs Street. 3 p.m. $12-$27. Rochester.edu/Eastman; doverquartet.com.

ROCHESTER

FRI FRINGE F FR RI RIN RI IN NGE FESTIVAL REVIEW PART 2

The 2014 First Niagara Rochester Fringe Festival capped its third year, last Saturday, wrapping up more than 380 performances across 28 venues in and around downtown Rochester. The 10-day festival saw multi-discipline performances large and small, from grand spectacles (Circus Orange) to small backseat storytelling (“Dashboard Dramas), and everything in between. As audiences and performers start to further explore the possibilities of “fringe,” the Rochester festival is already turning its eyes to next year (September 17-26). | City Newspaper gave our thoughts on the first half of the festival in our September 24 issue, so we decided to share a little more from the festival’s final days. | To read more reviews from the 2014 Rochester Fringe Festival, visit our Fringe blogs at rochestercitynewspaper.com

THEATER | “M.I.A.”

DANCE |

SPECIAL EVENT |

All of Rochester could have been lit by the energy Biodance exuded at GEVA’s Nextstage Wednesday night. The show reminded me of a collection of excellent short stories. Each unique piece vibrant and well-worked out — good enough to stand alone, but even better as a group.

Missy Pfohl Smith, Artistic Director of Biodance, seems to attract all kinds of dancers and choreographers from Rochester and beyond to contribute to her projects. Along with Smith, this one also includes choreography from Heidi Latksy, Bill Evans, Ivy Baldwin, Jeanne Schickler Compisi, Eran Hanlon, and Courtney World.

Several of the pieces — especially “Trapped at Tea,” choreographed by Compisi and Baldwin, and “Borderline,” choreographed by World — operated at almost frantic levels.

“Coaptation” was different from any of Hanlon’s work I’ve seen so far. Faster and with more blatant outward energy, yet with a characteristic eerily beautiful quality, it featured dancers Compisi, Kathy Diehl, and Julie Schlafer Rossette as sweat-shirted, aggressivelymoving women who seem distressed over something — perhaps, even hunted. I found the movement to have something of a martial arts type feel, yet there are respites of poignancy as well, for instance in the hovering birdlikestances the dancers sometimes freeze into.

The darkness of the initial pieces was diffused by the premiere of Smith’s “A Moment of Silence,” danced by Allie Alletto. Created in Corfu, Greece, this past July, Smith describes the piece as a meditation of hope and peace.

Indeed, its repetitive wavelike motion before an aqua background summons a sense of serenity and then, as physically expressed by the dancer, a start toward some sort of realization.

Combining aspects of a flash mob, performance art, and historical ghost walk, the wonderfully eerie “Spoon River Rochester” adapts the text of Edgar Lee Masters’ “Spoon River Anthology” with a cast of more than 150 actors (including Mayor Lovely Warren) delivering poems from the work, each one an epitaph of a single resident of the titular, fictional small town.

Dressed all in white and shades of gray, faces painted pale, each holding a single candle, the performers were certainly striking to look at.

I found myself wishing the performance took place after sunset, letting the darkness enhance the ghostly effect. The actors were positioned all along Gibbs Street, divided up into small groups. At the sound of a bell, one performer at a time from each of these group stepped forward to deliver their monologue commemorating the life of the deceased citizen they’re portraying.

This staging allowed the audience to choose how they wish to experience the performance: stop to listen to a specific actor and move on, station yourself in front of a group to watch the entire cycle, or meander through the groups catching snippets where you can. The one downside of the Gibbs Street location was that the actors down toward the East Avenue end of Gibbs were forced to compete with the generators from the food trucks stationed there, often drowning out the performers’ words.

By far the best place to take in the performance is the garden area outside of Max of Eastman Place. Further from the din of Gibbs, the groups are positioned close enough that it’s possible to hear multiple groups at once.

From there, I was able to enjoy the chilling effect of hearing the many voices coming from all directions, mixing and blending together into a haunting chorus of the dead.

“Spoon River Rochester”

VARIETY | 20

Penny Circus In their all-ages-appropriate appearances with Cirque du Fringe, the edgy clowns of 20 Penny Circus have played Russian roulette with nail guns and stapled tarot cards to their chests. With that kind of material, I was curious how much wilder a “mature audiences” solo show would get, and the answer is (give or take a few f-bombs) not much — but that doesn’t make it any less entertaining. 20 Penny’s Tyler Sutter and Carl Skenes give Fringe audiences a night of magic, stunts, comedy, and “entertainment for those with questionable taste.”

I could recount the pair’s individual acts one by one, but that would only spoil the fun. I’ll only say that one in particular, featuring “ritualized mutilation” (I swear, it’s not as graphic as it sounds), made several audience members in my vicinity recoil in horror. And while I admit to being a tiny bit disappointed to find that several of the night’s acts were previously featured in last year’s Cirque du Fringe performance, I can’t fault the pair too much — the feats are just as captivating as ever.

My Fringe Festival reviewing ended on a high note with “M.I.A.” This play was also written by Spencer Christiano, and performed by him as well. He scores on both counts in this heartfelt and satisfying solo show. Christiano’s greatuncle, Joseph, was shot down over Laos in 1965.

He was at first classified as missing in action, then as a casualty, but no one was sure he had actually died. Forty-six years later, some objects finally recovered from the crash site proved that Joe Christiano and four other men were on the plane; they received a funeral with full military honors. In a detailed, vivid monologue, Spencer tells of his entire family’s trip to Arlington National Cemetery for the funeral, and of his own search to learn the details of Joe’s life and to determine his own place in his family. Spencer describes “M.I.A.” As a memory play, invoking Tennessee Williams’ “Glass Menagerie,” and the comparison is apt.

His rich script is both deadly serious and very funny, and his performance is perfectly paced.

THEATER |

“Chocolate Casi Amargo” I only know a few words of Spanish, but I really enjoyed “Chocolate Casi Amargo,” (“Chocolate, Almost Bitter”), a one-act written and directed

by Candide Carrasco and presented Saturday afternoon on the TheaterRocs Stage at Xerox Auditorium. The play has no plot to speak of, it’s just a late-night conversation between a long-married couple, Isabel (Elena Nápoles Goldfeder) and Francisco (Rubén Lorenzo Gómez). Over mugs of chocolate, they argue about their old life in Cuba, their relatives, and the happiness of their gay son. What makes the play unusual is that most of the dialogue is in Spanish — the couple only occasionally, and helpfully, lapses into English. Carrasco uses this pointillistic English (and the actors’ body language) very skillfully – even if you don’t know Spanish, you still get the idea of what’s going on and can still respond to some of the humor. The actors help tremendously: Goldfeder and Gómez both have great presence, play off each other with gusto, and hit all the notes in the script, whether bitter or sweet.

Art subway. He gives equal treatment to the grand places and the mundane spaces we drift through, and each scene has the haunt of humanity even when no humans are directly depicted.

In particular, I spent a long time studying all of the ever-surfacing signals in Baker’s “Homage to Ptolemy,” which is a graffitiladen street scene packed with navigational clues. Dusty or paint-marked footprints wind a semi-circle here; arrows and cardinal directions are peppered throughout. “You Are Here,” and here is relative.

One function of art for the artist is fulfilling the urge to interpret and recreate what sings to us. Somewhere within the steady work of this practice, we better understand and feel more fully part of this strange and magnificent place, and share what we see and value with others. Creating is essentially an act of joy.

Oxford Gallery has a current showcase of two drastically different kinds of painters, each with incredible talent and the ability 24 CITY OCTOBER 1-7, 2014

to captivate the viewer with the worlds they depict. Pairing George Van Hook and Chris Baker is fascinating in a number of ways, and the exhibit displays owner Jim Hall’s sensitive attention to artists as much as it presents the painters’ talent.

Van Hook’s oil-on-linen paintings are rife with golden light and flux. His world is full of cozy, lush domestics and serene rural vistas. As an accomplished plein air painter, Van Hook’s mode of working is a quick, weton-wet capture of the flowing world, with at times a heavy, greasy application of paint that maintains its dewy appearance long afterward.

In “Farm Lane in Springtime,” Van Hook has depicted an achingly lovely day of the seasonal-threshold sort. A farmer passes between farm structures, among green grass dotted with flowers and bare trees scratching at a crispy blue sky, perhaps thinking of a piping hot coffee waiting for him indoors. These wistful paintings speak

of all things good and comforting, and a sense of permanence: the eternal sweetness of the seasonal shifts, the everlasting ache and worthiness of working the earth.

“In the Hammock” is Van Hook’s single figurative work in this show. Here, a woman in repose reads in the sunshine, cradled in a gesture of woven netting and framed by vibrating green light.

If Van Hook’s paintings read like a beautiful tribute to home, Chris Baker is an artist who lives fully out in the world, who seems unspeakably entranced by each and every new place he visits. Baker likes to envelope his audience in atmospheres, and paints with the kind of sensitivity to detail and expert execution of minutiae that only arises from a place of new love. Each little realm is explored as a sacred space, whether it’s the yawning and polished corridors of a French cathedral or the raw maw of Rochester’s abandoned and scrawled-upon

Both Baker and Van Hook explore themes and specific vistas in a recurrent, fine-tuning, multidimensional way, both seemingly uninterested in pretending there’s a finite way of seeing something. The same farm is explored from different angles in a few of Van Hook’s works.

The show includes several of his paintings of fly fishermen, wading alone or in a pair, their lines always arcing a great swoop in the sunshine, the tone of the day eternally optimistic. In “Among Friends,” two waders are at work in water flatly snaking its path through the mighty presence of gigantic trees.

Baker revisits the street scene again and again. He explores a unique angle of Windsor Castle that lends the feeling of stumbling upon its (here, diminished) glory, and in “Jack’s Street,” he subtly maintains the ghost of horror in a modern, nighttime view of Whitechapel. Baker excels at undercurrent.

Other recurring themes in Baker’s work include a couple of construction scenes, one little piece intimate and dominated by a dark and beastly machine, the other a larger, open, and bright piece titled “Earth Mover,” which is as much a portrait of the lush variation of minerals in dirt as it as a picture of the yellow machine.

Baker works in gouache-on-paper and urges just an incredible range of use from the medium, depicting a world made molten in the setting sun, petals shivering in the moonlight, and marble hallways polished from so much footfall with the same striking realism. Some of my favorite works in this show are his crow-populated views of the silent stones on Salisbury Plain, each of which are varied enough to keep the subject interesting.

Van Hook breathes a gush of fresh air even into something as classic as the still life.

These cheerful images of pottery, flowers, and toys are a bit more solid than his other works, likely having something to do with the fact that the objects he captured aren’t tree boughs shifting in the wind and casting dancing shadows on a wooden bridge, or light playing upon water as it surges elsewhere.

Considering the historic and ongoing treatment of female sexuality, I always had this sinking inkling that the biblical Salomé got a bad rap, or that the story was conveniently two-dimensional, in the very least. A more fleshed-out look at the sensuous young dancer will be presented this week in a theatrical production which features graphic novel illustrations by P. Craig Russell (pictured), based on Richard Strauss’s opera, “Salomé,” and accompanied by a reworked instrumental rendition of the opera in presentations at the University of Rochester and its Eastman School of Music.

[ SAT., OCTOBER 4 ] Improv Comedy Battles. 9:30 p.m Bread & Water Theatre, 172 West Main St $6. 797-9086. improvVIP.com.

“Salomé” will be performed by Table Top Opera, a chamber ensemble of Eastman faculty, alumni, and friends, at 8 p.m., Wednesday, October 8, in Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre (60 Gibbs Street), and at 8 p.m. on Friday, October 10, in the Interfaith Chapel on the River Campus (Wilson Drive, University of Rochester). The music will be paired with Russell’s pictures, which will be projected above the musicians during the performance, and a newly choreographed version of Salomé’s “Dance of the Seven Veils.”

Dance Events

Admission to the October 8 performance of “Salomé” in Kodak Hall is $10, free to University of Rochester faculty, students, and staff with ID. Admission to the October 10 performance in the Interfaith Chapel is free. The project features a symposium along with the opera performances.

THEATRE | “THE BOOK OF MORMON”

Hello! “The Book of Mormon” is back, and if you’re one of the 15 people in Rochester who didn’t see it last year, here’s your chance to see the tuneful, potty-mouthed, utterly satirical, multi-Tony Award-winning show at the Auditorium Theatre. As everybody must know by now, “The Book of Mormon” was written by the creators of “South Park” and the composer of “Avenue Q,” which guarantees a lot of hilariously inappropriate song and dance onstage. But the show, for all its snark and satire, behaves just like a lot of traditional Broadway musicals, and somehow manages to turn everybody in the audience into a “Mormon who just believes” for a couple of hours. Even Mormons in the audience who do believe like this show.

ART | JUAN PERDIGUERO’S “SIMIOS”

Humanity tends to have a sociopathic regard for nonhumans, but this isn’t uniformly the case, nor was it always this way. Listening to Jane Goodall speak about what she has learned from closely observing great apes is itself a transformative experience.

Three years ago, artist Juan Perdiguero was asked to create a site-specific installation for an old liquor factory-turnedgallery in his native Spain. The result was a series of 25 life-sized, ink-on-prepared-photographic-paper drawings of apes, each of which took about 12 hours to create, and possess strikingly detailed expressions full of recognizable emotions. The artist says he means for the images to serve as mirrors to the people who see them.

Through October 30, FLCC’s Williams-Insalaco Gallery 34 (3325 Marvin Sands Drive, Canandaigua) is hosting 10 of these drawings in “Simios: The Work of Juan Perdiguero.”

The public is invited to an opening reception with the artist from 1 to 3 p.m. and reception from 4 to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 2. Perdiguero will give a talk about his work at 2 p.m. the same day, in room C404.

THEATER | “DIVERSIONS AND DELIGHTS”

“The only thing worse than being talked about,” said Oscar Wilde, “is not being talked about.” Oscar gets to do all the talking in “Diversions and Delights,” a solo play in the form of a lecture that Wilde gives after his release from jail on indecency charges and his exile in France. The play is set in a Parisian concert hall in 1899, about a year before Wilde’s death at the age of 46. In an attempt to earn some muchneeded money, Wilde is speaking to the audience about his life, his works, and about his ill-fated love for Lord Alfred Douglas. Diversions and Delights, though written in 1977 for Vincent Price, is having its community theater premiere this weekend, directed by Michael Arvé. John Gay’s script is a tour de force for an actor, and you’ll get to see one of our best local actors, Peter J. Doyle (pictured), in it this weekend.

“Diversions and Delights” will be preformed Thursday, October 2, through Sunday, October 5, at MuCCC, 174 Atlantic Avenue. $12 in advance, $15-$20 at the door.

If nothing else — and sadly, there is not much else — “The Skeleton Twins” demonstrates once again that just about every movie entered in one of those ubiquitous film festivals wins some kind of prize, and that many even win a lot of prizes. The picture arrives in this region positively garlanded with honors from a variety of such gatherings: all those jury selections, audience favorites, critics’ choices, laurel

wreaths, gold woodchucks, silver kumquats, etc. That this dreary little comedy attains such awards, however, may at least encourage any ambitious filmmaker with enough money, whatever the level of talent of skill, to soldier on in the medium.

A voiceover provides a bit of history for the two major characters, accompanied by intermittent shots of two young children whose father plays with them while wearing a skull mask, and gives each one a small toy skeleton, a motif that recurs throughout the picture. Opening in the present, the movie crosscuts between two adults, the grown-up twins, Milo (Bill Hader) and Maggie (Kristen Wiig), as each attempts suicide.

The more interesting of the two, Milo, a gay, failed actor, dumps a picture of himself and his lover in an aquarium, sits in a bathtub, and slashes his wrists. As she is about to swallow a handful of pills, Maggie receives a telephone call from a hospital in Los Angeles, informing her that Milo has survived his desperate act; though they haven’t spoken in 10 years,

Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader in “The Skeleton Twins.” PHOTO COURTESY ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS

she travels to California and convinces her brother to return with her to their hometown in upstate New York, where the major action takes place and all their history emerges.

Maggie’s husband Lance (Luke Wilson) welcomes Milo, treating him with kindness and generosity throughout his stay. The sullen, neurotic Milo generally responds with sarcasm and condescension, while he and the equally neurotic Maggie argue incessantly about their past. Desperate for some sexual connection, Milo looks up his former high school English teacher (Ty Burrell), the man who first seduced him, a disastrous decision; he also visits a gay bar only to discover that unfortunately, it’s “Dyke Night.”

Lance tells Milo that Maggie takes a series of courses, in French, salsa dancing, and now, scuba diving. Actually, Maggie sleeps with the instructor in all of them, including a couple of quickies with the scuba teacher (Boyd Holbrook). She confesses her practice to her brother, wondering if she is a whore, but he reassures her that she is a desperate housewife “with whore-like tendencies.”

As the tiresome conflicts between the siblings

wear on, they begin to find some points of reconciliation, particularly when they bond at Maggie’s office (she is a dental hygienist) while sharing the dentist’s nitrous oxide. They giggle uproariously — it is laughing gas after all — and Maggie farts all over the frame. That scene

It’s a trip!

“The Congress” (NR), DIRECTED BY ARI FOLMAN SCREENS SATURDAY AT THE DRYDEN THEATRE [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

provides perhaps the high point of humor, though not for this viewer, in this purported comedy.

Whatever the ability of the two principal actors, their characters rarely achieve much in the way of sympathy; the director apparently never realized that the audience should at least like somebody in the narrative, something Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig never achieve — nobody could care much about these selfpitying, self-absorbed twins, truly skeletons.

The only actually likable person in the whole movie is Maggie’s husband Lance, a decent, well meaning, ordinary guy who does his best to befriend Milo and support Maggie, only to be rewarded with hostility and betrayal.

The relentless neurosis of the two main characters eventually smothers every other possibility of meaning or emotional connection in this very small film. Their constant expressions of dissatisfaction with the way their lives have turned out, hardly a unique condition, never change; their hopelessness barely arouses any compassion.

“The Skeleton Twins” finally only creates puzzles about its load of prizes — its characters are generally repellent, its resolution hardly seems plausible; and its reiterated statements of disappointment and failure prove almost nothing. We all fail, after all, every day of our lives, and very few people care, a very real subject, if not particularly promising for comedy.

The motif of skulls and skeletons turns out to be most appropriate for this dead work.

In “Tracks,” Rochester native John Curran (“The Painted Veil,” “We Don’t Live Here Anymore”) directs the true story of Robyn Davidson, a young woman who at the age of 27 decided to walk 1,700 miles across the deserts of Australia, with only her loyal pet dog and a pack of four camels accompanying her. It’s a journey that takes her nine months, starting from Alice Springs in the Northern Territory and heading west to the Indian Ocean.

Adapted from Davidson’s memoir by screenwriter Marion Nelson, the film never gets bogged down attempting to pin down her reasons for taking the trek in the first place. As played by Australian actress Mia Wasikowska (Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland”), Robyn is stubbornly independent, a bit of a loner who’s more at home

with animals than she is among people. Her expedition seems a sort of self-assigned rite of passage that she feels compelled to complete simply to prove to herself she can.

Robyn’s reluctance to ask for or accept any assistance comes into conflict with her lack of money, so when she meets an sweetly awkward photographer named Rick Smolan (Adam Driver) who suggests that she find a sponsor for her travels, she reluctantly sends a query to National Geographic asking the magazine for financial assistance. The magazine agrees, under the stipulation that Rick meet up with her at several points along the way to take pictures for a future article. From there, the film documents Davidson’s odyssey in episodic detail, interspersing sketchily drawn flashbacks to her childhood in an attempt to provide a bit of extra motivation for Davidson’s trip, but they’re not necessary. We learn all we need to know without them, largely thanks to Wasikowska’s compelling performance.

Though obviously possessing a much broader range, the actress is particularly adept at playing this sort of slightly odd, taciturn young woman, but she finds interesting ways to play Robyn’s sometimes contradictory nature, as her desire for solitude doesn’t necessarily preclude her desire for human interaction. She’s also quite good in her scenes with Driver, as Robyn and Rick’s relationship shifts over time. At first seeing his chatty presence as a nuisance, but even as their friendship grows more intimate, she continues to keep him at a distance. Both actors are excellent, and aided immeasurably by the natural beauty of the desert landscapes, so lovingly photographed by cinematographer Mandy Walker.

Filmmaker Ari Folman (the Oscarnominated “Waltz With Bashir”) directs the fascinatingly odd, “The Congress,” based loosely on Stanislaw Lem’s satirical sci-fi novel “The Futurological Congress.”

Robin Wright stars as a variation of herself, here depicted as a washed-up, middle-aged actress. She takes a meeting with the head of

Miramount Studios, who makes an unusual offer: sign a contract allowing the studio to “sample” her, scanning her entire being so that the studio can use the digitized young, beautiful version of her to perform in whatever film they choose. Miramount will own her digital likeness forever, and Wright will be well compensated.

Motivated by her son Aaron’s (Kodi Smit-McPhee) deteriorating health, and at the behest of her agent, Al (Harvey Keitel), she agrees, and in an extraordinary sequence, we see the actual scanning process take place.

Wright stands in the middle of a giant globe, as strobing lights illuminate her, recording her entire range of emotions. Then the film abruptly jumps ahead 20 years, and things really start to get bonkers.

Her contract about to expire, Wright is invited to attend The Futurist Congress, a conference which requires its attendees to take a hallucinogen that makes everything appear to be a cartoon, and the film shifts into extended animated sequence. It seems technology has advanced to allow people to transform themselves into animated avatars of whoever they wish to be. At the conference, Wright is asked to extend her contract, which will now include a clause which allows her likeness to be made into a substance that can be ingested. Consumers can then imagine her in whatever context they want, and the studio will be paid royalties on their fantasies and daydreams.

Using an actor’s digital likeness for unintended purposes has been a much debated subject since Humphrey Bogart shilled Diet Coke and Fred Astaire danced with a Dirt Devil, and Folman uses the subject to explore weightier ideas of identity and free will, melding the philosophical debate with trippy psychedelic imagery. The film’s early scenes feel oddly stilted, but “The Congress” grows stronger the wackier it gets. It’s also consistently stunning visually and at times curiously moving. Though the disparate elements of the film — showbiz satire, sci-fi mind-bender, and existentialist drama — never quite gel, it’s always an interesting ride.

From Farm to Foursquare 240 Seneca Parkway Placed along the western shores of the Genesee River gorge, Maplewood is esteemed for its history, architecture, and natural beauty. Seneca Parkway, perhaps the most prestigious of Maplewood streets, was designed by Fredrick Law Olmsted to provide a grand extension and entrance to Maplewood Park and the river gorge. It attracted many Rochesterians and their architects who built the wide array of elegant homes that line its approach to the park.

Great Cape Cod in Pittsford Schools. This 3 bedroom 2.5 bath home has a 1st floor master suite for 1st floor living. Call Ryan @ 218-6802 or visit www.rochestersells.com for more info.

One such home was built by native Englishman and former farmer, George Casburn. After a career of nearly forty years harvesting fruit from his farms in rural Greece, Mr. Casburn, on the occasion of marrying his second wife, had his new home in the city built in 1914. He quickly took to his retirement from hard work, constructing the two-car garage with a full basement on the property and purchasing automobiles with which to fill it.

From the street, his oversized Craftsman style foursquare impresses with its divided track brick driveway, broad eaves, mottled glazed brick first story, and elegant front corner porch.

The substantial arched oak and beveled glass front door leads to a cozy vestibule with original patterned penny tile floor. The grand living room is a feast for the eyes with solid quartersawn oak woodwork, large front window bay, and brick fireplace surrounded by a built-in bench and bookcase, adorned with a pair of stained glass windows.

From the living room, through the several substantial pocket doors you have access

to the grand oak stair with more stained glass windows, the large kitchen and side entry, or dining room. The dining room elaborates on the theme with another large bay window, quartersawn woodwork, and coffered ceiling. Off the dining room, a formal parlor provides the perfect space for a quiet first floor office or den with a faux fireplace and more built-ins. The kitchen provides ample counter space and storage from its absorption of a former service porch and butler’s pantry, with a powder room for added convenience.

Upstairs a more formal air is lent to the four generous bedrooms from the white trim and dark mahogany doors. Two full baths and the diversity of storage provided by the bedroom closets and built-in linens round out the second floor. A light filled staircase leads to the partially finished attic, complete with an informal rec room and large cedar closet. The full-height basement features another powder room, laundry, and ample area for storage.

Located in the Maplewood Historic District, this light filled 2,472 square foot home qualifies for the NYS Homeowner Rehabilitation Tax Credit of 20% for all approved repairs and renovations.

Own this piece of the good life on Seneca Parkway for $174,900. For more information contact Nothnagle realtor Dennis Price at 585-389-4049.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Frontiers of Flight

Dutch inventors Bart Jansen and Arjen Beltman struck again recently when Pepeijn Bruins, 13, called on them to help him grieve over his pet rat, Ratjetoe, who had to be put down because of cancer. Having heard of the inventors’ work, Pepeijn asked if they could please have Ratjetoe stuffed and turned into a radio-controlled drone. Jansen and Beltman, who had previously created an “ostrichcopter” and are now working on a “turbo shark,” created Pepeijn’s rat-copter, but remain best noted for their epic taxidermied cat, “Orvillecopter,” created in 2012 (which readers can view at nydn. us/1r0WmmA).

Updates

— How to Confuse an Arizonan: In August, a state appeals court overruled a lower court and decided that Thomas and Nancy Beatie could divorce, after all. The first judge had determined that their out-of-state marriage was not valid in Arizona because they were both women, but Thomas has had extensive surgery and hormone therapy and become a man — although he is also the spouse who bore the couple’s three children, since he made it a point to retain his reproductive organs.

— In August, for the 12th straight year, a group of Japanese adultfilm actresses has volunteered their breasts to raise money for an AIDSprevention charity event shown on an X-rated cable TV channel from Tokyo.

The 12-hour-long “squeeze-a-thon” (“Boob Aid”) sold individual fondles

to men for donations of at least (the equivalent of) $9, with donors required first to spray on disinfectant.

In all, 4,100 pairs of hands roamed the nine actresses.

— Regulatory filings revealed in August that AOL still has 2.3 million dial-up subscribers (down from 21 million 15 years ago) paying, on average, about $20 monthly. Industry analysts, far from rolling on the floor laughing at the company’s continued success with 20th-century technology, estimate that AOL’s dial-up business constitutes a hefty portion of its quarterly “operating profit” of about $122 million.

— Commentators have had fun with the new system of medical diagnostic codes (denominated in from four to 10 digits each) scheduled to take effect in October 2015, and the “Healthcare Dive” blog had its laughs in a July post. The codes for “problems in relationship with in-laws” and “bizarre personal appearance” are quixotic enough, but the most “absurd” codes are “subsequent encounters” (that is, at least the second time the same thing happened to a patient) for events like walking into a lamppost, or getting sucked into a jet engine, or receiving burns from on-fire water skis, or having contact with a cow beyond being bitten or kicked (since those contacts have separate codes).

Also notable was S10.87XA, “Other superficial bite of other specified part of neck, initial encounter,” which seems to describe a “hickey.”

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 38 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t be too quick to share your personal thoughts or feelings.

A sudden reversal of affection will leave you wondering what happened to the person you thought you were falling in love with. Use discretion and caution when it comes to an emotional connection.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take the plunge and put your love on the line. Speaking up and letting your intentions be known will bring you that much closer to a long-term commitment. Your dreams and the object of your affection’s desires will bring you closer together and help you build a bright future.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You just want to have fun, so that’s what you should do. Don’t lead someone on in the meantime.

Honesty will allow you to do your own thing without stress or burning bridges with someone you may want to reunite with in the future. It’s always best to be reputable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t be too quick to settle for someone you just met. Bide your time and let the courtship take its time. The better you know someone and the more you find you have in common, the easier it will be to incorporate what you both want under the same roof.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll

dazzle partners with your enthusiastic, fun-loving nature, but your fickleness and inability to settle for one person will deter you from settling down. Try not to mislead anyone you are fond of, and you will build good friendships -- one of which will lead to that special connection.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Share your feelings and emotions, but don’t get angry if you don’t get the spontaneous response you anticipate. Plant the seed and wait for it to grow into something special rather than getting annoyed or upset with the person you desire. Patience and affection will play out in your favor.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Get involved in organizations or interest groups, and you will meet someone special -- but don’t expect instant romance. Emotional baggage will come along with the connection you make.

You will need tender loving care before you make plans to move forward intimately.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Ride the romantic roller coaster into the sunset. You cannot put a price on mixed emotions and high-intensity intimacy that takes you to the moon and back.

Prepare to let your emotions and passion run freely until you come to a place that says back away or go for it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Truth is best displayed upfront.

Once you let your intimate desires take over, it will be difficult to divulge your status or freedom to move forward with someone you just met. Let whoever you are mesmerized with know exactly how you feel and what you have to offer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep your life simple when it comes to love. Don’t mix business with pleasure and refuse to let the exterior of a person be your demise. Looks and chemistry are great, but if there isn’t sufficient evidence that you have something in common, the connection you make will be a

costly investment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t be shy; lay your cards on the table and let whoever you feel passionately about know what you are willing to offer.

A commitment will add to the excitement of the relationship and will improve your standard of living.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Cover all your bases when it comes to a relationship that is heading toward a commitment.

Protecting the assets of you as well as your partner will help alleviate stress on your relationship at a later date. Practicality may not seem romantic, but in the end, it will favor longevity.
