OCTOBER 30 - NOVEMBER 5, 2013

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

How much do we really care about democracy?

Do you suppose Rochester voters will do their civic duty and show up at the polls on November 5?

Participation in city elections has been low for years, but I was astonished at the dismal turnout in the September primary.

The people who have fessed up about not voting say they figured Tom Richards would win the mayoral race handily, so they didn’t need to vote. This is profoundly troubling, on two levels: First, they see a responsibility to vote only in close elections – only if they’re afraid their candidate is going to lose. Second, they see no responsibility whatsoever to vote for school board and City Council.

I’m simply speechless.

Let me say right here that this isn’t another plea for people to support the candidates this newspaper has endorsed.

We’ve had our say. But for Pete’s sake: the city – its residents, its services, its schools – face enormous challenges. All of us have to be involved in meeting those challenges, and that includes voting. And on Primary Day last month, most Rochester Democrats stayed home.

Here’s the problem with that: Voter registration in Rochester is so heavily Democratic that Democratic primary winners are virtual shoo-ins in November. Only registered Democrats can vote in the primary, though. Which means that Republican, Conservative, Working Families, Independence, and Green Party voters, plus more than 19,000 people who don’t want to be affiliated with any party at all – in total, 36 percent of the city’s registered voters – are pretty much shut out of the democratic process.

The Republican Party has mostly stopped fielding city candidates. Third parties are trying to break through, but they’re heavily outspent and outmanned.

The political system is literally rigged against them.

So Democrats select the mayor, the members of City Council, and the members of the school board.

And most Democrats don’t care enough to vote.

The mayoral primary in September featured two candidates who differ dramatically in how they think the city should be run, and who will take us down very different paths. The five City Council incumbents had four challengers. Ten people ran for the three

The right to vote is under attack in some parts of this country. And Democrats in Rochester are too blasé to vote.” open school board seats. And around 23 percent of registered Democrats cast votes in that election. Seventy-seven percent of Democrats in the city simply couldn’t be bothered.

So here’s my lecture: People in numerous other countries would give anything to be able to vote for the officials who run their governments and their schools. People – in this country and in others – have died pushing for the right to vote. At this very moment, the right to vote is under attack in some parts of this country.

And Democrats in Rochester are too blasé to vote.

So thanks to the 15,000 or so Dems who did turn out on Primary Day. And thanks to Lovely Warren and her impressive campaign supporters, who have been wearing themselves out to elect her.

Thanks to the Greens’ Alex White and all the other candidates who are challenging the Democrats for whom a veritable handful of people voted in September.

And thanks to Tom Richards (who was pulled out of retirement into public service and then, despite the trauma of having a desperately ill son, agreed to seek re-election in that primary).

The rest of us owe all these folks (and yes, all the Democrats on the ballot, too) the respect they’re due. We owe them our presence at the polls on Election Day. And here’s the thing: Given this city’s challenges, it is a very risky thing to have relatively few voters choosing the people who guide its future. Rochester will be far better off if the people in charge – the mayor, the members of Council, the members of the school board – know that all of us care about what they’re doing. And that more than a handful of us have placed our trust in them.

Alex White’s the best candidate

I believe the primary results tell the story. While Lovely was out engaging with the people, Richards was occupied with family matters. So, while Richards is vaguely toying with the voters, it should not be forgotten that he has already lost the primary. The voters just weren’t that interested in Richards. Only the media and a few political insiders seem interested in attempting to perform CPR on the Richards campaign.

It is time the citizens of Rochester end the speculation and forget about Richards. It is time to deal with reality. It is time to look at the Lovely Warren vs. Alex White race for mayor. Who has the best and freshest ideas for Rochester?

Who has the courage to debate and who will not dignify voters with a debate?

It’s time to shake up Rochester. Vote Alex White.

OCTOBER 30 - NOVEMBER 5, 2013

For decades, thousands of readers like me have relied on City for coherent, dispassionate political analysis. Your endorsement of non-candidate Tom Richards was outrageous and antithetical to the fine journalistic standards you have steadfastly built.

To conclude that your choice was reduced to endorsing a man who clearly has no interest in campaigning or to “endorse someone we feel is not qualified…” is disparaging to

the two candidates that are still in the race, and especially to the standard bearer of the majority party, Lovely Warren.

For those who have forgotten, there was a primary election on September 10, whose objective was to eliminate one of the two contestants. Tom Richards, who had every advantage known to man – incumbency, money, endorsements, all of the TV time, a lifetime of fabled experience, the esteem of his fellowmen – lost resoundingly.

It does not matter that the turnout was abysmally low; so it was in Albany, Buffalo, New York, and Syracuse, which also held mayoral primaries on that day. Nobody there is asking for a do-over.

So what is behind these bizarre attempts to prevent Richards from retiring, a yearning his recent words and body language so clearly convey? Speculation abounds and motives are plentiful, but let me get to two which are least mentioned: “Gantt paranoia”, and the “power elite’s fear of losing control”.

Warren as a pawn of David Gantt is an insulting caricature.

Yes, she traces her career advancement to him, but she is entitled to demonstrate that her base is much broader, just like her predecessors.

The “old boys” network, which has controlled much of what has been going on for the past eight years, cringes that another outsider is coming into City Hall. Not just any “outsider,” but a young female, who has demonstrated that she is quite capable of independent thinking. How ironic! Aren’t these the same people who have lamented our inability to keep “our young people” from fleeing town?

Tough as it is for them to comprehend, a new era is dawning. Rather than fight it, welcome it. Rather than worry whether Lovely can do the job, let’s help her succeed. When she succeeds, so will we.

So let’s repudiate those who are trying to obstruct the victory that Ms. Warren will

rightfully claim on November 5. And let Mayor Richards retire in peace, as he yearned a month ago.

WILLIAM A. JOHNSON JR.

Johnson is former mayor of Rochester.

I have no words for your bizarre endorsement of Tom Richards, who was a decent mayor and a perfectly good person, but is no longer running for office. Please change your name to Downtown/Southeast Rochester, because you are entirely oblivious to realities, interests, and concerns of threequarters of our neighborhoods.

RACHEL MCGUIRE

Endorsing somebody who has dropped out of the race is counterproductive. Warren is the only candidate with definitive policies available to the public (lovelyformayor.com/issues).

And this article references her countering RCSD’s efforts.

Clearly this newspaper failed to review the stats on our beloved district. Lol. TONE WILLIAMS

This “endorsement” smacks of the old guard believing the sky is falling whenever there is a probable transfer of power. It also is highly insensitive to a person you claim to support, in that you insist on separating his desire to care for his family from a dubious public duty to which he owes no one.

I am also tired of your misstatement of Council President Lovely Warren’s support of public schools.

She does support them. She simply believes as I do that city parents and children should not be held hostage to the city school district’s failures.

She correctly says, “Parents need options.” In addition, in response to questions about city takeover of schools, she says the superintendent needs to be given the opportunity to work out the solutions.

You assume that Lovely’s not spelling out all of her strategies is a weakness. Rather continues on page 11

Duffy’s RBA dance

Former Rochester mayor and current lieutenant governor Bob Duffy confirmed that he interviewed for the top job with the Rochester Business Alliance. Duffy said in the Democrat and Chronicle that he interviewed on October 5, but withdrew from consideration days later.

But Duffy’s handling of the situation has drawn scrutiny and criticism.

NY GOP chair Ed Cox wants Duffy investigated for possible ethics violations. Duffy has not ruled out reapplying for the RBA position in the future, says the D and C.

Mayoral election: ghost protocol Rochester Mayor Tom Richards called a press conference to say that he’s still not campaigning for re-election, but if people want to push his candidacy, there’s nothing he can do about it. Richards lost the Democratic primary to City Council President Lovely Warren, but will appear on the general election ballot on the Working Families and Independence lines.

Two city employees have helped start a movement to keep Richards in the mayor’s office. Richards

says that there are too many contingencies to say whether or not he’d serve if elected. Turn Out for Tom began its big push last weekend.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Is APPR fair?

The Annual Professional Performance Review for teachers and principals is a key component of education reform. And the state Education Department’s recent release of statewide teacher and principal evaluations is supposed to help answer the question asked by many parents: How effective are the teachers in my child’s school?

Green for brownfields

The South Genesee Implementation Strategy — a project that includes the Vacuum Oil site in southwest Rochester — will receive $868,500 in state funding, and the Bull’s Head Revitalization Plan will receive $284,745.

The grants were awarded through the state Brownfield Opportunity Areas program. City officials say that the grants will help clean up more than 330 acres in the Vacuum Oil and Bull’s Head project areas.

State Education Commissioner John King defends the new teacher evaluations. PHOTO PROVIDED BY NYSED

But the evaluations are controversial. In Rochester, teachers in the city school district scored much lower than teachers statewide. The SED’s preliminary evaluations showed that 49.7 percent and 41.8 percent of New York’s public school teachers are highly effective and effective, respectively. (New York City’s scores are not included.)

But only 2 percent of Rochester school teachers are rated highly effective and 58.3 percent are rated effective.

Nearly 40 percent are scored as still developing, and 2.3 percent are rated ineffective. That raises the question, are Rochester’s teachers inferior?

Adam Urbanski, president of the Rochester Teachers Association, says that the current evaluation system is not accurate. And he says that the evaluations unfairly penalize urban

teachers who are often working with students who come from extremely poor households and have multiple academic challenges.

But state Education Commissioner John King points out that 80 percent of the evaluation was developed at the local level with union agreement. Only 20 percent includes students’ state test scores, he says. And the evaluations compensate for concerns like poverty, King says.

Urbanski says that King is being disingenuous. Only two points out of 100 are used in Rochester’s evaluations to compensate for a student’s hardships, such as poverty and learning disabilities, he says.

“You need 75 points just to be rated effective,” Urbanski says.

Climate change and social justice An upcoming program of the Friends and Foundation of the Rochester Public Library will focus on the local opportunities and challenges posed by climate change. Follow the Money: Costs and Opportunities from Climate Change will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 2, at the Central Library’s Kate Gleason Auditorium, 115 South Avenue.

The program will start with a screening of the locally produced climate change documentary, “Comfort Zone.” A questionand-answer panel discussion with Harbec Plastics President Bob Bechtold; Rochester Institute of Technology senior sustainability advisor Enid Cardinal; state Senator Ted O’Brien; and Dr. Colleen Fogarty, a physician at Brown Square Community Health Center, follows the screening.

The program is timely. Last month, in a long-awaited report, the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that without aggressive reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions, the planet will see harsher effects from climate change.

Some of the issues that the panel will discuss, such as the importance of environmentally sustainable business, have received attention. But the panel will also touch

On extremely hot days, people with serious respiratory conditions are supposed to remain in places with air conditioning. But lowerincome residents may not be able to afford air conditioning, and may seek refuge in public buildings such as libraries and recreation centers.

State officials have made some effort to address the problem, Fogarty says. One state agency will pay for low-income individuals to buy air conditioners and to have them installed, she says, if there is a medical need.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

ROTC’s culture club Petite with luminous eyes behind a pensive stare, 20-year-old Amber Brewer looks too young to be charged with protecting the country. But don’t let her youthful appearance fool you. Brewer, an Army Reserve officer training cadet, says she’s confident that she’ll know how to handle combat and lead a platoon when the time comes.

Brewer, a junior at Rochester Institute of Technology, is one of five ROTC Army cadets who recently returned from what some might describe as a culture slam. She was dropped in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania’s largest city, where her orders were to teach English to elementary school children for about a month.

But in many respects, Brewer was the student. She was in Tanzania to learn how to immerse herself in a place where she may not speak the language or look like any of the people around her. Learning how to quickly build relationships in a strange and possibly hostile setting could equip her with skills that may one day save her life.

“This gives you insight into what deployment is like,” Brewer says. “I was excited to go, but I was also a little intimidated.”

The ROTC assignment, known as the Cultural and Language Proficiency Program, is one of many requirements to graduate.

Military strategists have been debating

whether wars are won with guns or butter almost as long as they’ve been waged. The answer is contingent on many factors, but the US military is increasingly emphasizing softer diplomacy and cultural understanding, says Donald Powell, ROTC recruiting operations officer at RIT. Countries all over the world respect the military superiority of the US, he says, but that isn’t always enough to prevent a military engagement.

A retired Army major who served in Iraq from 2004 to 2005, Powell says that the foreign excursions help cadets to develop empathy.

“We’ve learned from Iraq that running around shooting at insurgents isn’t going to get you very far because in the end it doesn’t work,” he says.

Future soldiers will have to exercise their interpersonal skills to work with civilians on the battlefield, Powell says.

“If you go in there with this total American perspective, they will shut you out,” he says. “Bottom line: We know that culture matters.”

Brewer says that teaching English is a good way to build confidence because it facilitates communication.

She says that most of what she learned about the Tanzanians came from sitting and talking with them.

“They [the students] wouldn’t look you in the eye as a sign of respect,” ROTC cadets Peter Harris and Amber Brewer each spent a month in Brewer says. “And as a different foreign country to sharpen their cultural awareness skills.

Peter Harris could readily fill in for one

of the young recruits in military ads — the guys with the razor-clean good looks, strong jaw lines, and step-to-it attitudes.

The 20-year-old Harris is a junior at RIT and his CULP assignment sent him to Sibiu, a small town in Romania.

“It was very traditional,” he says. “The tallest building was maybe five stories.”

Harris was one of 10 cadets from around the country who went to Sibiu and worked with young Romanians who were preparing for military careers in their own country.

Harris says that his main objective was to better understand Romanians’

It wasn’t exactly the optimal attitude for building a relationship. But Harris says that he began to see that at least some of those beliefs were shaped by the former Romanian government, which didn’t trust Westerners.

“Just 26 years ago they were part of the Soviet bloc,” Harris says. “And there are still some remnants of that.”

Harris’s CULP assignment lasted about a month, and he says that by the end, he and his fellow cadets had formed friendships with their Romanian peers.

large dinner for us,” he says. “It was appreciative. We talked about if they were ever to come here, it would be instantaneous friendship. I felt like we really got to know each other, which is good because those cadets could be leaders in their army someday.”

Brewer and Harris and many of their peers say that they joined the ROTC partly because they were offered scholarships. The organization, which was formed in 1916 under President Woodrow Wilson, was created to develop leadership and military training at universities around the country.

The cadets graduate as commissioned second lieutenants in the Army, the lowest ranking officers.

All scholarship recipients have to commit to at least eight years of military service. And while they’re in school, they must meet high academic standards while fulfilling their training requirements.

it is an important show of good leadership. She believes in including constituents in crafting solutions. In addition, she will, as all good leaders do, surround herself with competent staff and advisers.

The current mayor stated when asked if he wanted to be mayor: “I want to be a grandfather more.” Give the man and his family due respect.

Elect an effective leader, Lovely Warren, who has the vision, compassion, competence, and passion to be the mayor. She, after all, represents the future of Rochester.

RUTH H. SCOTT

Scott is former president of the Rochester City Council.

Richards dropped out of the race. And that is true whatever one’s political position. This is bizarre and in my opinion counterproductive and has the potential to be very divisive – setting the entire community back. It is as if you are saying some citizens, the ones that bothered to vote, don’t matter.

RACHEL DEGUZMAN

This is what you wrote: “As Warren has noted repeatedly, Rochester is very much two communities: one is ‘growing, prosperous, and has a bright future.’ The other, ‘often invisible Rochester,’ she says, ‘is characterized by high rates of unemployment, crime, poverty, and despair.’

The residents of both of those communities – but particularly those of the poorest and most vulnerable – need and deserve the best mayor possible. We remain convinced that Tom Richards is that person.”

Pardon me! Did I hear you right? Last time I checked, Mr. Richards has been our mayor for over four years. If he is the best mayor possible, as you tend to believe, why, then, is Rochester “still very much two communities’’?

Mayor Richards may be a good manager but not good

enough to solve this city’s problems. Definitely, he is lacking the vision needed to solve the difficult situation of our city. Therefore, the citizens of Rochester need to move on, and elect the best candidate between the two competitors who are actively campaigning.

I know Lovely Warren is the better fit for this job. I don’t need to list her qualifications because you already did.

I am calling on the citizens of Rochester to confirm the choice that Democrats made last September and elect Lovely Warren as our next mayor.

Don’t allow yourself to miss the boat that will make history.

Elect our first female mayor.

The issues in Irondequoit

An Irondequoit voter’s appraisal of its politics is somewhat different from the politicians’. Cross endorsements and deals between the heads of the GOP and Dems are obvious to the voters. Their iron fist controls who runs for office.

They control the campaign finances, so they hand-select those candidates who will toe the party line. Letters to the editor saying voters should not vote for any incumbent are a joke.

In Irondequoit, the 22,247 households have been asked to incur a debt of $22 million for a community center with space for a library. This behemoth will dwarf the existing town hall and destroy 44 mature trees and the parklike setting next to the town hall that is used for Fourth of July and farm market.

The current parking area is used by the employees of town hall, public works, and town court. Snow accumulation reduces parking even more, with children and the elderly trying to dodge snow removal equipment.

Irondequoit property taxes are already the highest in the

county, and yet we have been asked to subsidize Medley Center and I-Square. The recent purchase of offices by Rochester General, which removed the building from the tax rolls, is yet another reason to not purchase homes in this land-locked area.

We have a group that thinks the taxpayers have unlimited resources. The median home value is $88,700, and median income is $41,463, according to the town’s website using a 2000 Census figure. Does this sound like a community of taxpayers who can afford another increase in property taxes?

Disability issues deserve attention

The Center for Disability Rights and other concerned organizations sponsored a candidate forum on disability issues at the National Museum of Play on October 24. Our goal was to let the candidates convey their platform, values, and ideas to the disability community, and allow the community to ask about issues affecting them in their lives. Only part of our plan was accomplished, because only a minority of the invited candidates showed up.

An evaluation of the forum may show that its production was less than sufficient, but the more likely cause of the noticeable absence of candidates was the flagrant disregard of the disability community’s vote. The glaring truancy of our aspiring representatives symbolizes the struggle we have with our elected officials and their “hesitancy” to take bold steps in changing government policy to assure our civil rights. After all, the disabled are a small faction of voters who may not even be able to get to the voting booths.

Aren’t they?

I submit we are not.

This country’s disabled are

mobilizing like never before.

Nineteen percent of our citizens are disabled – that’s one in five citizens. This realization was apparent to the dedicated candidates who showed up to the forum to exchange ideas with the voters.

In fact, a watershed moment came when a member of the audience asked the school board candidates what they knew about New York’s plan to close sheltered workshops.

Not one candidate had a clear grasp of the subject; this is the reason forums are so valuable.

A candidate cannot be expected to know every problem on every topic. It’s up to the community to inform and educate its representatives about the issues that affect us all. By the same token, it’s up to the hopeful representatives to be willing, available, and earnest in learning about the issues that matter most to their community’s citizens. When politicians become, apparently, too busy for a discussion of issues, I say we become too busy on Election Day to remember they’re running.

The candidates who were prudent enough to come to the forum were Rochester mayoral candidate Alex White; City Council candidates David Atias, Andrew Langdon, and Dorothy Paige; school board candidates Ron Hall, Lori Thomas, and Candice Lucas; Judicial candidates Nathan Van Loon, Jack Elliott, Dandrea Ruhlman, Chris Ciaccio, Paul Irving, and Jim Walsh; Sheriff candidate Emily Good; and State Assembly candidate Joe Morelle Jr. Transcripts of the forum can be read at http://www. cdrnys.org.

www.aairresearch.com Dedicated to Improving Your Present and Future Health 12 CITY OCTOBER 30 - NOVEMBER 5, 2013

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

Conversations on race

Friends and Foundation of the Rochester Public Library will present “Conversations on Race,” a series of discussions on race-related issues. The events will be held at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, November 12, at the Sully Branch, 939 Bay Street; at 5 p.m. on Thursday, November 14, at the Central Library, 115 South Avenue; and at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, November 20, at Fairport Public Library, 1 Fairport Village Landing.

Workshops on poverty, racism

Project Urge will host workshops from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, November 2, to “Break Down Walls of Poverty and Racism.” The event will be presented by faith and community-based organizations at Youth For Christ, 1 Favor Street. A light continental breakfast will be available. The workshops are free, but registration is required: 2238340. Instead of payment, organizers recommend that participants bring canned goods, nonperishables, and gently used clothing.

Trans community issues The Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley will present “Trans World Today: A Community Forum,”

from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, November 12. A panel of experts will address the status of health care, employment, and civil rights issues relevant to the transsexual community. The event will be held at 259 Monroe Avenue.

Talk on creating peace

Church Women United will recognize World Community Day with “Walking Through the Doors of Opportunity,” a talk about the barriers to peace from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, November 1, at Greece Baptist Church, 1230 Long Pond Road. Cost: $3. Attendees are asked to bring a brown bag lunch and a contribution for the community food cupboard.

Dessert and beverages will be provided.

Correcting ourselves The Critic Pick on the DFC Yamanator that appears in the Best of Rochester section of this very issue includes two stupid mistakes. First, the DFC is actually Downtown Fitness Club, and the club's owner's correct name is John Hutchings. City Features Editor Eric Rezsnyak clearly needed to drink a Yamanator before writing the piece.

This Restaurant: American, Trendy, Appetizing TRATA CULVER ROAD ARMORY, 145 CULVER ROAD 270-5460, TRATAROCHESTER.COM LUNCH: MONDAY-FRIDAY 11 A.M.-3 P.M. DINNER: MONDAY-THURSDAY 4:30-10 P.M.; FRIDAY-SATURDAY 4-11 P.M.; SUNDAY 4-10 P.M. (LATE-NIGHT MENU AVAILABLE FOR AN ADDITIONAL HOUR) [ REVIEW ] BY LAURA REBECCA KENYON

An early 20th century brick fortress, the Culver Road Armory is now a mixed-use space, boasting modern flourishes of blonde wood, burnished chrome, and glowing light accents.

On a Friday or Saturday night, the parking lot is packed. The main draw is TRATA, a.k.a. The Restaurant At The Armory.

The space alone is worthy of attention: TRATA is stunning. Comprised of three levels, the ceiling stretches high into the air. Its vertical height is made less cavernous by large, spherical lights positioned between the second and third floors. The space is a mix of industrial metals — grating banisters, support beams, duct work — and earthier elements like warm woods, sedately colored fabrics, and exposed brick.

The first floor bar provides a good vantage point from which to survey the restaurant and its clientele. During a Saturday evening visit, one corner of the bar featured three women in sweaters, jeans, and heeled boots with an infant

in tow; in the second corner, two men in their early 20s looked ready for a night in the clubs; in the third was a couple in their late 50s, the woman dressed as what can only be described as an homage to Barbie. (The fourth corner was me, and between each grouping were scads of people.) It’s a testament to TRATA’s service that each party appeared happily occupied, comfortable, and satisfied.

It can’t hurt that a favorite social lubricant,

alcohol, is carefully selected and served at TRATA. The restaurant’s signature cocktail, the 145 Culver ($7.50), blends gin, hibiscus, and muddled cucumber for a cool and sophisticated drink. Herbaceous in flavor with a medicinal finish, it is vividly pink, garnished with a cucumber slice and served in a martini glass.

A seasonal offering, the apple cider sangria ($6) mixes McKenzie’s Seasonal Reserve Hard Cider with brandy and apple, lemon and orange juices for a fruity and light beverage that goes down easy. Those not in the mood for mixed drinks can sample the 48 beers on tap, focusing on American craft brewers, or order from TRATA’s wine selection.

Note the American emphasis in the beer selections; there’s a similar emphasis on the menu. Inspired by the Armory’s roots — it was built in 1916 for use by the Army National Guard — TRATA’s menu offers “NewAmerican” dishes, with some fusion cuisine thrown in for variety.

The sautéed calamari ($9.95) is tender and fresh, with a sauce thickened with a puree of black beans. Though substantial, the sauce doesn’t overwhelm the delicate squid. A tingly, spicy spark comes from the dish’s cherry peppers — not too hot, but enough to jump start the tongue. Extra-virgin olive oil’s fruity flavors and garlic’s earthy warmth round out the dish.

Loaded fries ($12.95) are a staple in local pubs and casual restaurants. Here, they’re dressed with a sauce made with cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Swiss cheeses, topped with pulled short-rib beef and flecked with thinly sliced scallions.

The sauce has a creamy nuttiness with a hint of sharpness, and stands in contrast to fries’ crisp saltiness and the beef’s tender richness.

Asian lettuce wraps ($7.95), with a combination of stir-fried chicken, soy sauce, and ginger, are not an unusual find. But here the taste is fresh and the crunch enhanced. There’s just enough soy sauce in the dish to encourage another taste, another bite, without the sodium overwhelming the other flavors.

The short ribs in the loaded fries stand on their own in the short-rib entree ($25.95). Browned before being braised in an oatmeal stout, the ribs are yielding and succulent. They’re plated with a sauce similar in flavor to barbecue sauce but lighter; the sauce doesn’t detract from the meatiness of the ribs.

All-American classics like buttermilk fried chicken ($16.95) and burgers (mushroom for

$11.95; a daily special grilled Kobe burger $14.95), are like TRATA itself: towering, vertical constructions. They’re topped with TRATA paper flags, the way a mountain climber might mark his achievement after scaling Kilimanjaro.

The chicken platter is stacked with a heap of mashed potatoes, topped by the bottom of a biscuit, followed by the chicken and the other half of the biscuit. All of this is smothered in a classic white gravy. The chicken’s coating is darker than the usual golden brown, the meat moist and flavorful, and the mashed potatoes are creamy and comforting. The gravy added to the dish’s down-home decadence.

Both burgers are of Dagwood sandwich proportions. They’re flat-out great, allowing the beefiness to shine through. While there’s just enough char, the meat is moist throughout, enhanced by the toppings. The mushroom burger is filled with umami — both beef and mushrooms are naturally chock full of it — and even the mayonnaise on the sandwich includes porcinis. Lovely, fatty, gooey melted Jarlsberg covers it all.

The Kobe burger is served on the food world’s bread du jour, a pretzel roll. This is a hefty hunk of bread, but its slight sweetness harmonizes with the flavors in the beefbattered onion rings, bacon, and the sweet and smoky mayo that top the patty.

Not everything on the menu is as successful.

The Brussels sprouts salad ($8.95) is one of TRATA’s most popular dishes, featuring poached Brussels sprout leaves, tomatoes, hunks of bacon, and crispy, truffle-scented shallots dressed in an asiago-lemon vinaigrette.

While the flavors were in harmony, the sprouts were undercooked, leaving them too chewy.

After corresponding with restaurant manager Alexandra Greco, I’m confident that if I’d mentioned this to my server, the issue would have been rectified.

I say that because when my server noticed that I’d barely touched the sweetpotato fries ($5.95) I’d ordered as they were not to my liking — too bland — he apologized and removed the item from my bill. (He did not know I was there to review the restaurant.) Greco surmised that the fries were under seasoned on my visit. The chipotle-honey dipping sauce they came with, however, was quite good.

Other recommended plates include the NY strip steak ($28.95), mac and cheese with crispy prosciutto bread crumbs ($5.95), and the brownie sundae ($6.95). The latter layers two blondies and two scoops of vanilla ice cream with one brownie and drizzles of chocolate sauce and spiked caramel. It, too, is stacked tall and topped with a TRATA flag — and it’s easier to conquer than the nearest high peak. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 13

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2 CAFÉ VERITAS AT FIRST UNITARIAN CHURCH, 220 WINTON RD SOUTH 7:30 P.M. | $10-$18 | CAFEVERITAS.ORG [ ACOUSTIC/FOLK ] Earlier this year Baltimore based indie-folk artist ellen cherry survived a car wreck while on tour in Texas. After a few nights in the ICU, the singersongwriter emerged with her spirit intact and eventually hit the road again christening her next round of shows as the “Lucky Break” tour. Cherry is a perky multi-instrumentalist with a knack of turning life’s lemons into lemon meringue; after being downsized from an accounting job, she focused on a music career and never went back to the ledger.

Cherry’s relaxing melodies, along with a penchant for lyrics rooted in historical fiction, have earned her numerous honors. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

Equally influenced by funk and soul as the blues, Spacelords lists bands such as Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and The Black Crowes as some of its many influences. Spacelords revives the sound that many fell in love with forty or so years ago. — BY LEAH CREARY

RPO: Disney’s “Fantasia” FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1 AND SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2 KODAK HALL AT EASTMAN THEATRE, 60 GIBBS ST. 8 P.M. | $10-$92 | RPO.ORG [ CLASSICAL ] Is “Fantasia” sheer genius or total kitsch?

Critics will always be deliberating on that one, but it is true that since its premiere in 1940, Walt Disney’s animated feature, meant to introduce mass audiences to that scary thing called Classical Music, has become a classic itself. Some among us will never hear Dukas’ “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” without seeing Mickey Mouse, or Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker” without seeing dancing Chinese mushrooms (or whatever they were). The original “Fantasia” had a soundtrack from Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra, no less.

Kraszman and Fishwife performed Friday, October 25, at Abilene Bar & Lounge.

Over the line, Smokey [ REVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

A strong faction of the local tattooed population piled into Abilene for its weekly Friday night happy hour shindig and beer-swilling boogaloo. It was a fundraiser for local tattooist to the stars, Mariah Rose. Rose, like so many artists and musicians in this town, does her thing uninsured. She suffered a brain aneurism several weeks ago and is now hard at work regaining the movement on the right side of her body. This will take time and a lot of dough. So a big raffle was held during the evening as Kraszman and Fishwife provided the honky tonk.

Todd Krasz is an ace guitarist with a booming gutbucket baritone. When he duets with his wife, he harmonizes and supports her brilliantly, compensating for the deficit in their years on stage.

Remember Los Angeles supergroup X? Well, the beautiful Fishwife sings with the guts and conviction of X’s Exene Cervenka; she hits the note and hangs on regardless, until the male harmony adds its pitch. Sometimes it’s off, sometimes it’s dead on, sometimes it lands in limbo.

Regardless, it’s honest and real and

immediately accessible to the average listener with its blend of talent, tenacity, and innocence.

As I wound up being the chaperone for a van full of drunk ladies, the next three hours of my life were a blur, with just a few Facebook posts to give context clues. The next thing I remember was being back at Abilene in front of the floor masquerading as a bandstand with Mary Cutrufello and her band coiled and already striking.

You may remember the dreadlocked guitarist’s spirited work on Jimmie Dale Gilmore’s 1996 release “Braver New World.” As a solo artist and as exhibited Friday, this Texan is a guitar monster. She made that blonde Telecaster roar, especially when she dropped it down to D. One song stood out in particular.

She stroked the string sideways, adding constantans to the strummed vowels, coming close to making the guitar talk. I don’t know what it was saying, but it was saying it to me along with several fans in front on their knees, bowing down as they do in the electric church. Cutrufello had them on the floor and out of their minds.

Right out of college, trumpeter Clay Jenkins earned his stripes with the Stan Kenton Orchestra. He went on to tour with Harry James, Buddy Rich, and Count Basie before becoming a professor at the Eastman School of Music.

But that didn’t mean leaving the road. Jenkins still holds a chair in the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra and he’s recorded with greats like Milt Jackson, Ray Brown, Dr. John, and Diana Krall. When he takes the stage at Hatch Hall he’ll be joined by guitar great Gene Bertoncini and rising star bassist Ike Sturm. They’ve just recorded a CD with tunes by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Henry Mancini, and Neal Hefti, and you can be sure they’ll be playing a few.

Clay Jenkins performs Tuesday, November 5, 8 p.m. at Hatch Recital Hall, Eastman School of Music, 26 Gibbs St., $10 (free with UR ID), esm.rochester.edu, 274-1100.

“Sky Survey,” an infrared image of the entire universe, is part of “The History of Space Photography,” currently on view at George Eastman House. PHOTO PROVIDED

Everlasting frontier “The History of Space Photography” “Astro-Visions” THROUGH JANUARY 12 GEORGE EASTMAN HOUSE, 900 EAST AVE. 271-3361, EASTMANHOUSE.ORG TUESDAY-SATURDAY 10 A.M.-5 P.M., SUNDAY 11 A.M.-5 P.M. | $5-$12 [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

“Yearning” is a good word, to sum it up.

Since we gained consciousness, humans have gazed with wonder out into the fathomless depths of the sky, in search of some unknowable creator, to begin to understand the complex laws that govern this existence — and ultimately to better understand ourselves and our place in this fever dance of creation and destruction. The two current space-themed shows at George Eastman House reflect this search, capturing the everlasting marvel of staring up and out, retracing the history of our documentary tool-making and -refining, and revealing how humanity defiantly stretches the boundaries of what we can know.

Visitors to the museum’s Brackett Clark Gallery first encounter “Sky Survey,” a massive, pixilated image that is an infrared representation of the whole universe, from our perspective, which only hints at the vastness surrounding us. Viewing the image 22 CITY OCTOBER 30 - NOVEMBER 5, 2013

comes with the stark realization that this image — save for minor improvements in technology over time — is the closest we will ever get to viewing the universe in its entirety.

This single image, humbling in its vastness of scope as well as its proof of our limitations, sets the tone for the rest of the exhibit, which retraces mankind’s path of space (and Earth) exploration, and reframes our perceptions of the photograph as a representative of data collected over time and across spectra we cannot detect with our own dim senses.

Curated by Jay Belloli, and organized by the

California/International Arts Foundation in Los Angeles, the first portion of this double space show is “The History of Space Photography,” which explores the variety of astronomical photographs that have been created since we developed the technology to “draw with light.” These images range from the watery, flat, first-known image of the moon, taken in 1840 by John W. Draper, to images of the cold and dusty Mars landscape currently being snapped and sent back to us by the Curiosity rover.

Wonderful images and supplemental videos provide information about the limitless intrigue found in our own solar system. An early image of Mars depicts a blur that was thought to be a problem with the film, but was in fact a surprise cloud in our neighboring planet’s atmosphere.

Definitions over time grow shifty, as distant planets seem more moon-like and distant

moons reveal more planetoid traits. As our knowledge expands, our understanding of the possibility of extraterrestrial life tiptoes beyond the bounds of the conditions for life as we know it.

The first entire, un-shadowed image of our marbled Earth, captured in a single shot in 1972, still evokes the same breathtaking awe as when it was first spied, which can only ever be a fragment of what was felt by those aboard that space shuttle, staring back at the entirety of their suspended, distant home. An inky shot of the globe with bright clusters of city lights reveals, at once, the majority of us doing what we do: holding the darkness at bay. John Glenn’s 1962 snapshot of Earth’s eggshell atmosphere is fragile and improbable and radiant in the void.

Leaving the first room of early photography and our local star system, the second room explores deeper space, as well as how we have turned the cameras back on ourselves for the most critical of gazes.

Images of galaxies, pulsars, quasars, and the formation and dissolution of stars dazzle. Four views of the North American Nebula, which from our perspective is located among the stars that make up the constellation we call Cygnus, reveal energy radiating from the exact same area of the sky, in different parts of the spectrum, cluing us in to things that are continues on page 48

BEST OF ROCHESTER

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

QWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWE

Normally I start out the introduction to City Newspaper’s annual Best of Rochester issue by blathering about the awesomeness of Rochester and making terrible puns based around that year’s theme. I’m taking a different tactic this year — although there will probably still be puns.

It recently came to our attention that some people might not understand how City Newspaper runs Best of Rochester, and the myriad competing contests run by various media outlets aren’t helping. Let’s take, for instance, the case of a local establishment (I will decline to mention it by name). The business’ management was apparently convinced that both the Final 4 and the winners in of our Readers Poll are dictated essentially by bribes. That people were paying to get on the ballot and to win. And they were telling anyone who would listen that was the case. (Hilariously, the business itself was a finalist in this year’s Best Of competition. I guess we’ll wait for that imaginary check to come in the pretend mail.)

So let’s be clear: City Newspaper does not take any kind of money or other promotional consideration when it comes to the Best of Rochester. Nothing at all. The ballot changes every year, constructed from editorial picks and reader suggestions. Nobody sees the Primary Ballot until it goes online, at which point takers can write in whatever people, places, and things they think are the best in each of the 100-plus categories. We then throw an actual counting party in which a dozen or so staffers go through the literally thousands of responses and count up the Top 4 vote getters in each category. We only disqualify

votes if they’re for a national chain, don’t actually fit the category, or are clearly the result of ballot stuffing.

(Which is insanely easy to spot — we’re not stupid, folks.)

The Final 4 are then put on the Final Ballot, the people vote, and whoever gets the most votes win. It’s really that simple. Is it basically a glorified popularity contest? You bet it is. Do we agree with all of the results? Absolutely not. But the point of Best Of is to let the people of Rochester tell us what they think is the best of what’s around. City tells you what we think 51 issues out of the year. This is the week where you tell US what’s what.

We don’t sell categories (no Best Awning Repair?!). We don’t raffle off the wins to the highest bidders.

City Newspaper is the original, and in fact the official (trademarked and everything), home of Best of Rochester. It is in many ways a silly contest, but we take it seriously, because we believe in the people, places, and businesses included in it, and we also don’t take for granted the thousands of people who vote in it every year.

If you disagree with the results of the Readers Poll, feel free to let us know by commenting on the article at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

Or you can yell at us on Twitter (@roccitynews) or Facebook (facebook.com/CityNewspaper).

But seriously, folks, there are no shenanigans. This is what the people of Rochester voted for, plain and simple.

And with that, I’ll say [insert lame gambling pun here], wish the aforementioned bitter-kitten business good luck in Best of Rochester 2014, and drop the mic.

Newbury Park Pastries’ Chicken Pot Pie Newbury Park Pastries hand-made chicken pot pies, sold at the Brighton and Canandaigua farmers markets, and the yearround outpost in Rochester, are as close to the Platonic ideal of a chicken pot pie as anyone has gotten. Purchase one and invite some friends over for a “home-cooked meal.”

Tell them to bring dessert.

An hour before it’s time to eat, take the pie out of the box and destroy the cardboard evidence. Pop the pie in a 350 degree oven, and leisurely set the table, put on some music, and make a green salad. While you’re puttering around, the pie is getting hot, perfuming the house with its browning butter scent. When your guests arrive, cut into the beautifully golden brown crust, flaky and fluted just right. Set the slices on each plate so that the filling, creamy and rich, packed with chicken and vegetables, oozes out tantalizingly. Then stand back, watch your friends take a bite, and wait for the compliments to roll in. — BY LAURA REBECCA KENYON

Best Burger When a Regular Burger Won’t Do

Rheinblick Restaurant’s PBBJ Burger When you’re hungry — “I could eat like a horse” kind of hungry, or “Dear God, I need something to offset the gallon of alcohol I consumed last night” kind of hungry — only a hearty, hefty burger will do. But good burgers can be hard to find, and burgers

that are both good and unique can be near impossible to get your hands on. Head over to Canandaigua’s Rheinblick German Restaurant and sate your need with the lunch-only PBBJ Burger.

Elvis would appreciate the combination of Angus beef, smoky bacon, tangy redpepper jelly, and chunky, savory peanut butter, and you will, too. Some of the patrons will look at you funny; maybe even some of the waitresses. This is a burger concocted by the guys in the kitchen. But trust them, they’re on to something. The peanut butter and jelly are not the sickly sweet ilk you had in your third-grade lunch box. This jelly sings in harmony with the bacon’s sweetness, and the peanut butter is almost meaty, just like the burger. Paired with Rheinblick’s hand-cut fries (ask for curry ketchup) and a good beer (hair of the dog?), you will be a happy eater. — BY LAURA REBECCA KENYON

Best Apple Juice You’ve Had Since Pre-School

Red Jacket Orchards juice Located in Geneva, Red Jacket Orchards (315-781-2749, redjacketorchards.com) produces apple and fruit juices available in a number of area grocery stores, as well as several local farmers’ markets. You’ll find none of that “contains less than 1 percent fruit juice” nonsense here; all Red Jacket beverages are made using the cold-press process, meaning that the fruit is chopped up, then mashed to get out all its juicy goodness.

The juices are so good, in fact, that in September they were awarded “Best NonAlcoholic Beverage” at Foodlink’s Festival of Food. Personal favorites of mine are the raspberry apple and fuji apple, but there’s also a number of seasonal varieties, which include lemon apple during the summer months and cider in the autumn. There’s also supposedly a spiced cider, which I sadly haven’t been able to track down just yet. But it’s only a matter of time….

Best Bubbly Beverage

Boba smoothies at Whatta-Bánh Mí Vietnamese Sandwich Café I’ve recently become utterly addicted to these tasty blended beverages from Whatta-Bánh Mí (673 Monroe Ave., 319-4831). Besides the fact that they’re yummy, the combination of fresh fruit, ice, and milk provides a perfect way to balance out the delicious burn of the restaurant’s jalapeño-laced bánh mí sandwiches. Though lacking the traditional tea component of bubble teas (a Thai tea version is also on the menu), the smoothies still contain the characteristic chewy pearls of tapioca, known as boba, that make them so fun to drink. I’ve been enjoying slowly working my way through the many flavor options, and while strawberry-kiwi is my current favorite, I look forward to venturing into the more interesting flavors like durian, lychee, and avocado. — BY ADAM LUBITOW

Best Post-Workout Pick-Me-Up

DFC Yamanator Sometimes after a particularly brutal workout you just want to reward yourself.

You made it through some ungodly superset.

You just spent half an hour working out with the devil’s tinker toys, a.k.a. kettle bells.

You did — *shudder* — squats. Ice cream for everybody!

But no! Do not throw away all that hard work for a sugary trap. Gyms have been doing brisk business with smoothie/juice bars since the 1980’s. But one local gym (admittedly, the one I go to) has concocted a smoothie that makes me feel like I’m indulging my sweet tooth while still infusing my body with proteiny, vitamin-rich goodness.

generational and cultural gaps. Perhaps English isn’t your first language, and you miss speaking your native tongue with others. The phrase “use it or lose it” rings particularly true when it comes to language. Meet-ups are free, informal gatherings for people of all skill levels to come together to learn and to teach.

Books, Etc. (78 W. Main St., Macedon) regularly holds German, French, Spanish, and Filipino nights, during which participants meet to practice speaking the languages. The events include easy activities and easy conversation, and are free and open to anyone. For information on specific language events, call 474-4116 or visit calendar.yahoo.com/books_etc.

If you’re looking for other opportunities, a handy resource for finding the group that suits you is language.meetup.com, a global site that lists language meet-up groups, culture clubs, and their information by city.

Joining a group is an excellent way to flex your brain, expand your social circle, and learn a language through immersion without even leaving home.

Best Blown Opportunity

East Ave Wegmans Parking Lot Whether you were for or against the renovation-expansion of the actual East Avenue Wegmans, pretty much everyone was excited about one element: a larger parking lot. The old store’s lot simply could not accommodate traffic at peak hours, and if you needed groceries on Sundays or immediately after work on weeknights, it was a little like entering Thunderdome. Prior to the new store opening in May, Wegmans trumpeted

the fact that the lot now has 472 space compared to the previous 270. Awesome!

Just what we wanted!

Except, actually, it’s even worse. While the new East Ave Wegmans parking lot is indeed larger, the weird meandering road bisecting its two parts has made it stressful for both motorists and pedestrians to navigate. Drivers seem unsure of who has the right of way. The landscaping-filled dividers jut out awfully far, basically forcing cars to cross into the other lane when heading toward an exit. And despite the clearly marked yield-to-pedestrian signs and crosswalks, I routinely see people having to dodge cars.

It’s true that crappy driving in general is a contributing factor here. But I get actually stressed every time I’m in that parking lot, either as a driver or walking to/from the store, and I’m not the only one. I don’t have these issues with any other parking lot — not even the one servicing the larger, busier Pittsford Wegmans mothership. The design of the new East Ave lot may be aesthetically pleasing, but ease of use seems to have been sacrificed for some pretty flowers.

And don’t even get me started on the fact that every time I go to the store I find it carries at least one less product that I used to buy. — BY ERIC REZSNYAK

even halfway decent selection of back issues, it’s often a disaster to navigate. Mazes of cluttered racks and shelves are the norm, along with piles of unorganized back issues, and no apparent method behind the madness. Likewise, any clean, wellorganized comic store never seems to have what I’m looking for.

Tucked unassumingly in the Upper Falls neighborhood, Comic Book Heaven (938 St. Paul St., 654-7542) is a little gem of a comic-book store that strikes the perfect balance between the two types. Despite the fact that Comic Book Heaven has been around for almost 40 years, I only recently discovered it for myself, when I was trying to track down a particularly hard-to-find issue and decided to see what other options I had in the area. I’m kicking myself for not having found it sooner; it’s now my go-to comic shop. The store has an entire wall devoted to current issues, a huge number of trade paperbacks and collected editions, a modest selection of toys, figures, and

apparel, but a mammoth collection of back issues. Sure, it may be a little dusty, but whatever you’re looking for, there’s a good chance you can find it here. Most importantly, it has a friendly owner who’s always happy to chat and answer any questions. — BY ADAM LUBITOW

Best Pocket Park

Aqueduct Park There are plenty of pretty little pocket parks in our city. I’m not thinking of the woodsy, spacious places for long rambles and hikes, but the bitsy resting stops that provide a little green zone amid asphalt and concrete cages, a bench for your weary bones, and a bit of welcome birdsong.

I asked friends and acquaintances for their input on the most beloved, because we all have our favorites. Star Alley, in the South Wedge, was a favorite, with its free music shows and proximity to the popular bar Lux. Others suggested Otto Hendenberg Park, off Fountain Street in the Swillburg Neighborhood, for its

gazebo and peacefulness. Votes came in for Washington Grove at Cobbs Hill, for Ellwanger and Barry Park at Linden and Meigs streets, and the Warner Castle Sunken Gardens, between Highland Park and Mount Hope Avenue.

One friend reminded me of Aqueduct Park, a downtown riverside spot just west of the Main Street Bridge, at 23 E. Main St., named for the aqueduct it abuts. I chose it as Best Pocket Park because it’s unique in a few ways. The park is a bit hidden away, tucked in a business district between buildings on Grave Street and a calmly flowing leg of the mighty Genesee River, and overlooked by the iconic Mercury statue. Aqueduct Park is a green oasis downtown, with trees, lawns, brick walkways, and picnic benches and tables.

It’s a favorite lunch spot for downtown employees, a less-crowded place to view holiday fireworks over the river, and host to noontime concerts during the warmer months. Check it out.

Best Social Media Raspberry

Fake Rachel Barnhart (@ FakeRachelBarn) For the past few years an interesting showdown has been building in Best of Rochester’s Best Local Twitter Feed category.

Local TV journalist Rachel Barnhart is routinely nominated — and this year she won — for her extremely active feed (@ rachbarnhart). But just falling short of the Final 4 cut the past two years is a related account: Fake RachelBarnhartt (@ FakeRachelBarn), which exists almost solely to bait and criticize the journalist.

On the one hand, I’m sympathetic to Barnhart. She has built an impressive local media brand between her work for Channel 8, her blog The Rochesterian, and her Twitter feed, which has more than 16,000 followers. I’m being sincere when I say that nobody in Rochester media shows more hustle than Barnhart. She takes her work very seriously, and as a professional journalist, she absolutely should. continues on page 35

On the other hand, speaking as a journalist, I think we sometimes need to get our wigs yanked. We need to be held accountable by our readers, viewers, etc. One of the great things about social media is that it took traditional media from being a bullhorn — us shouting to everyone else — and turned it into a discussion. The people who read/ watch/listen to the media are now able to yell just as loudly, and they’re giving us The Business. I think that if we listen to what they’re saying, we can become better at our jobs.

I totally get why actual Rachel Barnhart would bristle at the idea of Fake RachelBarnhartt taking the piss out of her on Twitter. But personally, I’d take it as a compliment — and a sign that I was doing something right. You know what they say about imitation being the sincerest form of flattery.

And given that sarcasm is the highest form of internet humor, I have to give it up to Fake RachelBarnhartt — and brace myself for the inevitable Fake EricRezsnyak. It will consist solely of whining about PR people and mindless screeds about comic books, shirtless men, and “America’s Next Top Model.”

Best Hirsute Helpers

Rochester Beardsmen Society Beardo. Hippie. Serpico. Late John Lennon. Your face looks like Robin Williams’ knuckles. We’ve all heard — or made — a joke about somebody with a large beard, but maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to poke fun, because there just may be a great person underneath. This is the case with the Rochester Beardsmen

Society. You may not have heard of the Beardsmen Society, but these guys are deserving of your attention, and their beards are deserving of our worship.

“The Rochester Beardsmen Society is a group of facial-hair enthusiasts who are dedicated to our wonderful city and helping out our fellow Rochesterians in a grassroots manner,” says Beardsmen Society president Trevor Cranmer. “We use our bearded hearts to benefit the local community and team up with local charities and businesses to raise money and awareness for those in need. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find us, maybe you can use the RBS.” If you attended the St. Patrick’s Day Parade downtown this year, you may have seen some members walking in the parade. Late this summer the group held the Northeast Regional Beard and Moustache Championships at Water Street Music Hall, which benefitted the Villa of Hope, and the family of the late Jack Schifano, a longtime member. Big beards come with big hearts. For more information check out rocbeardsmen. com. — BY TREVOR LEWIS

— who you could argue was better at being a shady businessman, stealing ideas, and going to extremes to snuff out competition than he was at coming up with functional inventions — Tesla merely turned the other cheek, obsessively and tirelessly concerned with bringing his world-changing ideas to fruition.

Amid conducting experiments that contributed greatly to the development of radio communications, dreaming up improbable yet achievable power systems, and being besties with Mark Twain, Tesla invented an electrical resonant transformer circuit now known as the Tesla Coil, which brings me to the point of this piece.

Earlier this year, the Rochester Museum and Science Center (657 East Ave.) opened a new exhibit, the Electricity Theatre, in which the frequencies of two Tesla Coils are manipulated so that they “sing” programmed songs, such as the themes to sci-fi shows “Red Dwarf ” and “Star Trek.” The operators blast the buzzy notes and bolts of indoor lightening, and then give awesome demos to explore how it all works. That’s all I’ll say, because you should definitely go see it for yourself. Check schedules and get more information by calling 271-4320 or visiting rmsc.org.

This exhibit remains one of the coolest tributes to Nikola Tesla — at least until the Tesla Science Center at his old laboratory in Shoreham, New York, opens. Eat your heart out, Edison.

Best Art-Couple Collaboration

Richard Aerni & Carolyn Dilcher-Stutz It’s rare treat to meet a pair of artists who not only stand alone as masterful 36 CITY BEST OF ROCHESTER 2013

makers but who also create remarkable collaborative work. It’s even more rare to find this dynamic in a couple.

Locally based ceramic artists Richard Aerni and Carolyn Dilcher-Stutz fit this description perfectly.

Aerni makes sturdy tableware and vessels in solid, clean forms, adorning the works with sparse textures and marks, and then glazes them with lush universes of color and pattern. His rivers and fields of pigment at times resemble the many and varied terrains of the Earth as seen from high above; the bowls and platters evoke a peaceful feeling of awe, in that natureworshipping way everyone with a pulse feels. They’re beautiful pieces that I’d feel lucky to serve guests from.

I met Carolyn Dilcher-Stutz (Jing Ceramics) almost a decade ago, when I was working in a café frequented by artists, and she was beginning to develop her hand-building style of constructing earthy, rough sketches of animals in clay.

From the beginning she’s had an innate knack for form and gesture and expression, which has only grown over time. Whether creating a hefty, lounging hare, acrobatic otters, or vignettes of tiny bats in relief, Dilcher-Stutz breathes believable life into the mud.

The collaborative works include vessels made by Aerni, adorned with little animals Dilcher-Stutz has added to lids of jars and lips of bowls and cups, the elegance of the forms complementing one another in every instance. The duo shares a studio in the Hungerford Bulding (1115 E. Main St., door 5, suite 106). See their work there or at carolyndilcherstutz.com and richardaerni.com. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Best New Old-School Troupe

Flower City Follies I’ve always had a “born-in-the-wrong-era” romance with the 1920’s. Bootlegged hooch, fringed dresses and pearls, dapperly dressed gents and, of course, the Charleston. I want all of them packed together in secretive underground clubs.

The same attitude spawned the specialized dance troupe Flower City Follies, an all-girl jazz group that was born out of Rochester-based Groove Juice Swing. A handful of the gals thought it’d be fun to work on their solo 1920’s and 1930’s jazz moves sans-partners and formed the group in 2012. Now boasting nearly 20 members, the group performs regularly at Groove Juice’s events and most recently at the Rochester Fringe Festival.

The sassy ladies mix phenomenal technique with attitude, sex appeal and a few Lucille Ball-esque antics for good measure,

with wickedly entertaining results (the baker routine is particularly fun). The Follies’ repertoire is a dancer’s paradise, from the classic Charleston to burlesque, and historic choreography like the Shim Sham and Big Apple. These gals shake, shimmy, and twirl with diminutive ease and have seemingly limitless energy.

The Follies schedule is packed with upcoming performances at the Mayday Craft Fair (November 2-3 at the Main Street Armory) and Groove Juice Swing’s Red Hot Holiday Ball (December 6 at Visual Studies Workshop).

graduate and student of Jan DeGaetani, she shares that great singer’s outstanding technique, interpretive imagination, dignified and commanding stage presence, and omnivorous repertoire, and audiences have delighted in it for decades; she has been an active performer in the Rochester area (and elsewhere) since the early 1980’s.

Van Dusen has the rich, vibrant lower register you associate with a fine mezzo, but her evenly produced voice can climb into soprano territory with ease and authority. Van Dusen has been heard in just about every kind of music: the “three O’s” of opera, operetta, and oratorio; a wide range of recital and song repertoire; everything from brand-new music (such as last spring’s Rochester Lyric Opera production of Cary Ratcliff ’s “Mice and Beans”) to “The Sound of Music.” And she is wonderful in all of them.

Best Bach, Buxtehude, etc.

Pegasus Early Music A few decades ago, the term “early music” (generally speaking, any music written before J.S. Bach) had the same cachet as brown rice or granola: esoteric stuff that was vaguely good for you, but none too tasty or easy to digest. And as for performing early music, only specialists need apply. Nowadays, performances of Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque music on period instruments — not to mention instrumentalists and vocalists versed in early performance styles as a matter of course in their studies — are the very enjoyable norm, and a lot of great, previously unknown music has become popular and beloved by audiences.

Best Dance Fighting

Com Expressao/Capoeira Mandinga Rochester Behind a nondescript storefront on Sager Drive — an alley-like street between Culver and East Boulevard — students are studying the ancient Brazilian art form of Capoeira at Com Expressao, the school led

by Todd “Carcara” Russell.

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, and music. Russell also leads Capoeira Mandinga Rochester, the performance group he formed in 2004. Mandinga has performed at birthdays, weddings, festivals and other social gatherings and has made appearances in local schools, colleges, and community centers; the group has also traveled as far as China and Brazil to present the art form.

Capoeira is defined by quick, complex moves that harness power, speed, and leverage for a variety of kicks, spins, and other techniques. When used for self-defense, it incorporates many low, sweeping moves. When employed for entertainment, there is greater emphasis on high moves and acrobatics such as flips and cartwheels.

Russell became interested in Capoiera during college, eventually studying under Mestre Marcelo Caveirinha before going on to teach the martial-arts form at the University of California, Berkeley. He follows the philosophy that everything we do enhances our understanding of ourselves and the world and teaches students how to accomplish this through movement, emphasizing the development of the simple into the complex, and teaching respect and awareness of surroundings.

Best Place to Rest Your Butt

Recliner Seats at AMC Loews Webster As a professional film critic, I naturally end up spending a significant amount of my time hanging out in movie theaters.

So this year, there was no development in Rochester nearly as exciting and relevant to my interests than the addition of snazzy new recliner seats to the AMC Loews Webster 12 (2190 Empire Blvd.) when the theater remodeled back in May. And I’m clearly not the only one excited about the cushy red pleather seats; a number of you tried voting them into whichever Best Of category you could, from “Best Movie Theater” to “Best Local News Story.”

Sadly, since AMC is a national chain, it couldn’t actually qualify for an official Best Of Readers Poll award. So that’s all the more reason for me to sing the theater’s praises here. The new seats bring together the best of both worlds: allowing moviegoers the pleasure of enjoying the sort of luxury you’d typically only find in continues on page 39

the comfort of your own living room, but still retaining the communal experience that makes moviegoing so great. Although there is one downside: there are less seats per theater. This is, however, balanced out by the fact that you can now reserve specific seats ahead of time, either online or in-person (although I had to find this out the hard way). — BY ADAM LUBITOW

Best Dark Rave

Vertex It’s 2 a.m. on a Saturday in Rochester and the dance floor is still full at Vertex Night Club. Ministry, Depeche Mode, Rammstein, and scores of other Goth, Industrial, New Wave 80’s, and alternative electronic dance songs have been spun by DJ Darkwave — a.k.a.

Steve Prinsen — and danced to by regulars and newcomers alike.

Prinsen has been DJing at the Chestnut Street club for 13 years now.

“It’s the only club in Rochester that plays this music,” he says. “And it’s one of the only and oldest gothic/industrial clubs in the country. Usually, clubs devote only one night a month, one night a week at best, to this kind of dance music.”

Bartender Erik Larner has been working at Vertex for 11 years, five at the door and six behind the bar; for two of

those six he has DJ’ed one night a week.

“We have good people here,” he said between mixing signature cocktails and chatting with customers. “Some people feel shy about coming to a Goth club, but when they do they are pleasantly surprised by how well they’re treated.”

Vertex hosts an intriguing mix of people. Old-school Goths in white face make-up and heavy eyeliner chat at the bar with well-dressed guys in suits.

Upstairs, women laced into elaborate corsets pulse and writhe under the strobe lights on the dance floor, while others move aggressively to hardcore beats. A girl with a background in belly dance gyrates seductively in bare feet. Amber Marvin of Park Ave Dance Company cuts loose with sharp contemporary moves. There are also folks in jeans and t-shirts having a grand old time. There is no one way to dress at Vertex, no one way to dance.

Patti, who has owned the club for more than 10 years, still thinks of herself first as a bartender and prefers not to reveal her last name in print. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday she handles the downstairs bar alone. She remembers not only the names of all the regulars, but what each of them usually drinks.

Another personal connection at this distinctive club. — BY CASEY CARLSEN

Best Non-Drink Bar Drink

Richmond’s Root-Beer Float Root beer as we know it was invented by Philadelphia pharmacist Charles Hires in 1876. Spending countless hours in bars, juke joints, gin mills, gas houses, and music halls in Rochester to report back to all of you on the musical goings on in Rochester for the past 15 years was invented by me back in 1999. Over that period of time I’ve developed tinnitus, flat feet, and a sore back. And dammit, I’m always thirsty. Sure, some joints have iced tea or in some rare cases (if they see me coming) chocolate milk. Some have root beer in longneck bottles so I can look like a big kid. But for the most part, us non-drink drinkers at entertainment venues are left to piss-flat gun soda, toxic coffee, cranberry juice, or ice water. I should also mention I’m a sucker for dessert. I always leave room, and in some cases, have been known to order it first (hey, life is uncertain). So imagine my surprise when the bartender at the recently reopened Richmond’s offered me not just a root beer, but a root-beer float. The skies parted, angels wept, the draught was over. I ordered two. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

DANCE | LATIN DANCE WEEKEND/SALSAWEEN

If you like Salsa — the dance, not the tomato-based condiment — then get your dancing shoes out for this weekend, as the Upstate NY Fall Latin Dance Weekend is coming to Rochester.

Before the weekend goes into full swing figuratively and literally, head to Lovin’ Cup (300 Park Point Drive) Thursday, October 31, and take part in its Salsaween Party. An hour-long lesson starts at 8 p.m., and the rest of the night is filled with dancing, live salsa bands, and DJs as well.

The Latin Dance Weekend kicks off Friday at Rhythm Society (758 South Ave.) at 9 p.m. With live performances from local, national, and international dance professionals in the styles of Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba and Cha Cha, the weekend starts up hot.

If the heat is too much for you, take part in dance workshops Saturday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and learn a thing or two about Latin dance from some of the best Latin dance pros the world has to offer. Show off your new skills later in the night as world-class DJs play the best Latin music.

The weekend wraps up with one last day of workshops at Rhythm Society on Sunday 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Prices for events run from $15 to $89. Visit lovincup.com and latindanceweekend.eventbrite.com for more info.

Theater satirical, and inventive — finds a very plausible 21st century theatrical counterpart to Hitchcock’s mingling of suspense and drollery. Sean Daniels’ staging is equally nimble, grabbing ideas from Brecht, Broadway musicals, Kabuki theatre, Monty Python, and more, throwing in a few Rochester references for good measure.

John Gregorio and Monica West in “The 39 Steps,” now on stage at Geva Theatre. PHOTO BY KEN HUTH

The triumph of the MacGuffin “The 39 Steps” THROUGH NOVEMBER 17 GEVA THEATRE CENTER, 75 WOODBURY BLVD. TICKETS START AT $25 | 232-4382, GEVATHEATRE.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND

When you walk into the house for Geva’s current production of “The 39 Steps,” the first thing you see is a good, old-fashioned proscenium framing a good, old-fashioned red curtain. That’s a pretty retro visual for a modern theater production, but it turns out to be a perfect visual introduction for this one. If you are a theatergoer of a certain age, that richly lit red curtain is an immediate clue that something magical and unique is about to happen, the kind of experience you can only get from real actors on a real stage.

And while “The 39 Steps” is uproariously funny, make no mistake: it is definitely theatrical magic.

“The 39 Steps” started out back in 1915 as a suspense novel by John Buchan, but it is best known now as a 1935 Alfred Hitchcock movie starring Robert Donat 44 CITY OCTOBER 30 - NOVEMBER 5, 2013

and Madeleine Carroll. Patrick Barlow’s recent stage adaptation (which has a long history of its own, including a long run on Broadway) mostly draws on the Hitchcock film, which includes early examples of many of the Hitchcockian tropes we know from his famous American movies like “North by Northwest,” “Rear Window,” and “Vertigo.”

Elements like “the wrong man accused and on the run, trains, cool blondes, smooth villains, music, and the MacGuffin,” to quote from Jean Gordon Ryon’s interesting program essay.

About the MacGuffin: as Hitchcock fans know, this was the master’s term for the device that gets the plot going, the thing everybody wants and the good guy needs to retrieve from the bad guy. To Hitchcock, the MacGuffin wasn’t really important in itself, but it was the hook on which the all the fun stuff hangs.

You take note of it at the beginning of the show and can pretty much forget about it once the plot starts churning. In “The 39 Steps,” the MacGuffin is a top-secret formula for something-or-other that makes aircraft engines run silently. You don’t find this out until the last minutes of the show, and after two hours of adventure you don’t really care.

The sense of play’s the thing.

Well, “The 39 Steps” does have a plot of sorts: a suave Brit named Richard Hannay (John Gregorio), single and at loose ends in London, goes to a show at the Palladium where he encounters an alluring, mysterious German blonde named Annabella (Monica West). She spends the night in his flat, but Hannay finds her the next morning with a knife in her back, and finds himself on the run to a mysterious location in Scotland, along with a mysterious squadron of spies called “The 39 Steps.” Frantically attempting to clear his name and find out what all of this means, Hannay ends up back at the Palladium, where the “39 Steps” are identified, the secret revealed, and the villain dispatched just in time.

I won’t give any more away, except to mention that it involves Nazis, corset salesmen, Scottish people with hilariously impenetrable accents, a rogue herd of sheep, and a number of very funny references to other Hitchcock films (besides the three mentioned earlier, “The Birds” and “Psycho” get called into service).

The really remarkable part of “The 39 Steps” is not the story, but the way the story is told. Barlow’s adaptation — fast-talking,

All of the roles in the play — 150 of them, we’re told, and I completely believe it — are played by four actors, and Geva’s foursome puts on one amazing show. John Gregorio’s Richard Hannay is perfect: athletic, sharp-witted, a bit goofy, and — being British — unfailingly suave (he tears through London and Scotland wearing a single double-breasted suit, and it never betrays a wrinkle). Monica West deliciously embodies the three women in the plot. Her Annabella looks like an Art Deco dream, but her hysterical take on a German accent may remind Britcom fans of Helga on “’Allo! ’Allo!”

As the nubile Highland siren Margaret, she seems to be a character from a Scottish Tennessee Williams; as Pamela, the woman who turns Hannay in and ends up helping him, West perfectly embodies the prim-but-sexy vibe of any number of 1930’s movie heroines.

That leaves about 146 other roles in the play, and they are all taken by two performers billed only as Clown No. 1 (Aaron Munoz) and Clown No. 2 (Joel Van Liew). These two actors are remarkably agile, switching costumes, accents, genders, and occasionally species on a dime and apparently without breaking a sweat. Munoz is stocky and Van Liew tall and thin — they look like Laurel and Hardy, and some of their business is worthy of that great comedy duo. (A bit involving the two of them trying to escape through a “rear window” is worth the price of a ticket in itself.)

“The 39 Steps” may nominally be about spies and secret formulas, but it’s really about Theater with a capital T: four actors, a director, and designers, and the amount of hilarious theatrical mayhem they can all churn up together. The cast of Geva’s “39 Steps” succeeds wonderfully — and I must add that they are helped immensely by Geva’s stagehands, who deservedly join the cast in their final bow.

found there both visible and invisible to the naked human eye. Enhanced images strive to illustrate dark matter and dark energy — concepts that are difficult to talk about effectively, much less depict.

As for our planet, scores of images shot from far above detail changes in vegetation and resources, oceanography, geology, and climate over time periods both short and long. One particularly sobering section of the exhibit reveals rampant deforestation of the Amazon, the trailing ribbons of oil leaked in the Gulf Coast, and a disturbing image enhanced to reveal radiation levels in the Pacific before and after the 2011 level 9.0 earthquake and Fukushima nuclear reactor disaster. I don’t understand the terminology well enough to properly discern the meaning behind these maps, but there is a vast and startling difference between those two images.

The museum is simultaneously showing

“Astro-Visions,” a series of images from the museum’s collection, curated by Jamie M. Allen, assistant curator of photographs at George Eastman House. “Astro-Visions” is a playful exploration of space and the human imagination, ranging from early imaginative views of the lunar landscape — really models of peaks and craters that were created and photographed by James Hall Nasmyth and James Carpenter in the 1870’s — to stills from highly inspired sci-fi films and TV shows throughout the decades, to Seattlebased artist Bill Finger’s “Ground Control” series of photographs of hand-built dioramas and miniatures, which explore the aching desire of the imaginative everyman who is offered a shot at space.

In one of Finger’s five large photos, a spacesuit-clad person climbs a ladder to enter an attic, as if emerging from a shuttle into space. In another, a playground contains a rocket slide. In still another shot, a detailed shuttle constructed of wood planks and pipes has the feeling of a very serious backyard playhouse.

William Larson’s mysterious image, “Untitled,” theatrically juxtaposes the serenity of a young girl caught swinging in front of the swollen moon with a still of an imploding building. The work is overlaid with stage directions that seem to subtly comment on the indifference of the violent universe on both micro and macro levels, and the unreachable escape. Curiously, Gil Scott-Heron’s voice reverberates in my head: “and Whitey’s on the moon.”

RECREATION | THE RUNDEAD 5K

Many fit folks add a little motivation to their workout, whether it’s a treat at the end of the session, or a day off between stretches of workouts. This weekend, you can get a little post-apocalyptic training that’s sure to make you move quicker. On Saturday, November 2, Genesee Valley Park (1000 E. River Road) will host the rUNDEAD 5K trail run, where zombies are the obstacles.

Each runner will start off with a flag belt and three flags, which represent your lifelines. Zombies throughout the course will attempt to take these, one at a time. If you lose all three, you’re “dead,” and the zombies have won. This is not a timed race — you only need to cross the finish line with one flag to receive a survivor medal.

Registration begins at 8 a.m., and the race commences at 10 a.m., sharp, with post-race festivities and awards taking place 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Not a runner, but still want to help the event’s beneficiary, the Special Olympics? Get in on the fun by signing up to be a zombie. Pre-register for $30 (runners & zombies). Every participant will receive an official rUNDEAD T-shirt. For more information, contact Mike Crisona at 5867400 or mcrisona@nyso.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

THEATER | “WAR HORSE”

Most of us have experienced two kinds of puppetry in our lives. In the first, the operators remain out of view of the audience, as demonstrated in basic puppet shows and by “Sesame Street.” Second, the operators are on stage, but try to direct all the attention to the brightly colored and gesturing puppets by themselves wearing dark clothing and minimizing their movements. You can see this sort of puppetry in shows such as “Avenue Q.” But the puppetry in the Tony Award-winning hit, “War Horse,” which Rochester Broadway Theatre League will bring to Rochester starting next week, is infinitely more complex — while multiple actors operate the complex horse puppet from beneath it, other actors interact with the horse while also helping to operate the highly nuanced mechanisms that bring the beast to life.

“War Horse” is Michael Morpurgo’s moving tale of a young man named Albert’s beloved horse, Joey, who is enlisted to fight for the English in World War I, and of Albert’s mission to bring his lost horse home. The story was the inspiration for Stephen Spielberg’s Oscar-nominated film of the same name. The play to be staged this week at the Auditorium Theatre (885 E. Main St.) contains innovative, life-sized puppets that “breathe,” gallop, rear, are light enough to operate, and strong enough to bear a rider.

The show kicks off on Tuesday, November 5, at 7:30 p.m., continuing through Sunday, November 10. Tickets range from $37.50 to $72.50, and can be purchased through the venue’s box office, by calling 800-745-3000, or online at ticketmaster.com. There have been reports of persons falsely claiming that the show is sold out and charging inflated rates for tickets. RBTL strongly urges those interested in seeing the show to call them to verify that seats are still available.

Ridley Scott’s pictures display the talents of one of the most visually creative directors in Hollywood. Movies like “Alien” and “Blade Runner” demonstrate his penchant for using established genres to reinterpret traditional material and move the forms in new and fascinating directions. His latest film, “The Counselor,” with a script by Cormac McCarthy, suggests once again some unusual reworking of a familiar subject.

Played by Michael Fassbender, the counselor of the title is a criminal lawyer who, like a lot of people in and out of the movies, wants to make one big score, which in his locale — the Southwest — and our time, means shipping a load of cocaine across the Texas-Mexico border. He arranges it all through a wealthy dealer, his friend Reiner (Javier Bardem) and a middleman, Westray (Brad Pitt), both of whom warn him of the consequences if something goes wrong. And of course, something goes very wrong indeed.

The director complicates the relatively simple basic by frequently switching back and forth among a series of apparently unrelated scenes and sequences — workers loading oil drums on a decrepit truck in Mexico, the counselor making love to his fiancée (played by Penélope Cruz), Reiner and his girlfriend Malkina (Cameron Diaz) watching their pet leopards hunt jackrabbits in the Arizona desert, a motorcyclist speeding down dusty Southwestern roads.

All those disparate subjects eventually come together, joined by a series of extraordinarily violent acts.

THE

The director shows some unique versions of movie violence — a carefully planned decapitation, with a special moment when the killer shakes the victim’s head out of his biker helmet, a body pickled in an oil drum, and an assassination on a London street in broad daylight that employs a horrible instrument Reiner describes earlier in the film. “The Counselor” also features one of the wildest and strangest sex scenes in the history of cinema, when a beautiful young woman makes love to a Mercedes (really). Whether the director or the scriptwriter created those unusual sequences remains unclear, though both share a history of imaginative interpretations of sex and violence.

Scott shoots in a number of locations — Texas, Arizona, Amsterdam, Chicago, London — which maintains the complication and the pace of an often puzzling series of events and constantly, without explanation, introduces new people to emphasize the increasing level of danger. Reiner’s mansion provides the most lavish setting in the movie, a dazzling modern structure with large, airy rooms, glass walls, and an enormous swimming pool, where scores of welldressed guests enjoy his hospitality, and a platoon of bodyguards keep him safe. It also becomes the center of the spider web that eventually traps every major character in the film.

The cast features so many big names that a few — Cruz, Pitt, Ruben Blades, even the German star Bruno Ganz — actually occupy rather small supporting roles. Michael Fassbender’s passive

Old school “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa” (R), DIRECTED BY JEFF TREMAINE NOW PLAYING

“After Tiller” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY MARTHA SHANE AND LANA WILSON SCREENS TUESDAY 11/5 AT THE LITTLE [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

performance creates something of a hole in the middle of the picture, which really needs a stronger presence than he can supply.

As the eccentric, mercurial Reiner, Javier Bardem provides probably the best acting in the film, creating a really compelling character, perhaps the one person who needs more screen time. The other strong presence is the stunningly beautiful Cameron Diaz, Reiner’s mistress, who blithely orchestrates her own devious scheme and demonstrates a previously hidden depth and versatility.

Among all the intercutting and violence, the surprisingly talky script explores some strange territory, with dialogue that must be the work of Cormac McCarthy, some of it quite funny, much of it aspiring to some understated philosophizing.

Both Reiner and Westray caution the counselor about the danger of his endeavor, but also indulge in some personal moralizing; Westray, in particular, suggests a kind of Heisenberg principle, in which the observer of a terrible crime becomes a participant in the act. Bruno Ganz, as a diamond dealer, expatiates eloquently on the mystical symbolism of the gems he sells.

All of the counselor’s advisors — not only Reiner and Westray, but also in one brief scene, the Mexican chief of a drug cartel — speak to him about the choices he makes and the consequences of his actions. Enough Existentialism permeates the picture to thicken the air of a Parisian café, and enough despair to please any of its habitués.

After a three-season-long TV series on MTV and three feature films, it’s a safe bet that by now you probably know whether or not you fall within the target demographic for a “Jackass” movie. The franchise’s latest, “Bad Grandpa,” finds the crew experimenting with the addition of an actual narrative to the formula of stupid human tricks performed with their standard disregard for personal safety.

It’s significantly less shocking than their previous exploits, but your enjoyment still largely depends on whether you’re intrigued by the thought of an elderly man getting the most sensitive part of his anatomy stuck in a vending machine, or find yourself giggling at the following two words: projectile pooping. There’s no denying that it’s stupid, and no one is going to mistake it for great cinema, but I laughed. A lot.

Johnny Knoxville, under pounds of prosthetic makeup, stars as the elderly Irving Zisman, whose wife, Ellie (Catherine Keener), has just passed away.

Irving mostly sees this as an opportunity to get back to behaving badly: drinking, attempting to get laid, and generally acting like, well, a jackass, until his daughter shows up at Ellie’s funeral with her 8-yearold son, Billy (Jackson Nicoll) in tow.

Explaining that she’s about to go to prison on drug charges, she needs Irving to drive Billy across the country and deliver the boy to his ne’er-do-well father. Being saddled with a young child is bound to cramp Irving’s style, but it isn’t long until the pair discover that they have more in common than either expected.

Like Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Borat” and “Brüno” films, but without the element of social satire, the humor in “Bad Grandpa” is derived from the incredulous reactions (captured through hidden camera) Irving and Billy evoke from the strangers they encounter along their journey. Those scenes are strung together by the barest thread of a plot (credited to director Jeff Tremaine, Knoxville, and “Jackass” co-creator Spike Jonze), as Irving and Billy slowly bond with one another. These heartfelt scenes strike an odd balance; they’re competently performed and scripted, but everyone is clearly aware that the audience is waiting for the earnestness to end.

Whether competing with male strippers or being chased by irate shop owners, Johnny Knoxville throws himself (often literally) into his role with his usual boyish glee. But it’s Nicoll who’s a real find: more than capable of holding his own against Knoxville, and nearly walking off with the entire movie.

In 2009, Dr. George Tiller was murdered,

Grandpa.” PHOTO COURTESY PARAMOUNT PICTURES

gunned down while in church by an antiabortion extremist angered by the fact that Tiller performed late-term abortions at his clinic. Four years later, Martha Shane

and Lana Wilson’s empathetic and deeply humane documentary, “After Tiller,” examines the impact that his death has had on the debate over abortion rights, as well as the lives of the only four remaining doctors (all former colleagues of Tiller’s) in the country who still perform the controversial procedure. The filmmakers interview each of these doctors: Dr. Warren Hern in Colorado, Dr. Leroy Carhart in Nebraska, and Dr. Susan Robinson and Dr. Shelley Sella, who share a practice in New Mexico, allowing them the opportunity to explain why they do what they do.

Despite the fact that they account for less than 1 percent of all abortions, and are performed almost exclusively in cases where the life of the mother or the baby is at risk, these procedures are often at the center of anti-abortion arguments. Because it occurs in the third trimester, when the baby is nearly fully developed, the procedure lends itself to hysterical reactions. What Shane and Wilson set out to show is that these doctors aren’t the monsters that so-called “pro-lifers” claim, but men and women well aware of the moral complications of what they do. As Sella herself states, “Unless you understand what’s going on for the woman, it’s impossible to support it. How could you? It sounds barbaric.”

We hear from some of the women (filmed anonymously) who have made the decision to through with the operation, and the heartbreaking reasons they had for doing so. It’s clear that it is a difficult and often traumatic process, for the mothers as well as the doctors who perform it, and never undertaken lightly by either party.

We see firsthand the struggles these doctors face, from the job itself, hearing day in and day out the sad stories of the women who seek them out, the protesters permanently camped outside their offices, to fearing for their lives and the stress it places on their families. As one of them states, “Every day I step out of my office, I expect to be assassinated.”

Search. Buy. Sell.

Tucked away on a quiet street in the Homestead Heights neighborhood, 77 Martinot Avenue is a turn of the century Tudor Revival, an architectural style that was popular in the early 1900s. Weighing in at 1,100 square feet, this could be a wonderful starter home or a quaint pint-sized haven for empty nesters looking to downsize – and whatever this home may lack in square footage is amply made up for in charm, quality construction and personality.

The stucco and stone exterior, flanked by hydrangeas and small evergreens, features an arched doorway that opens directly into a spacious and bright living room. As through the rest of the house, the hardwood floors are in beautiful condition and the newer windows keep out any breezes or drafts, leaving the home cozy and warm.

The one-level floor plan makes for easy access to all of the rooms and amenities. A hallway leading from the living room to the kitchen provides access to a bathroom with periodstyle black and white octagon tiling, a new pedestal sink and a full-size tub and shower.

There are two bright and airy bedrooms with plenty of closet space. The second bedroom offers a view of the fenced-in backyard and a large ceiling fan. But don’t worry – for those July scorchers when a fan just won’t cut it, this little charmer has central air!

The eat-in kitchen is lined with vintage cabinetry that could be preserved or updated, depending on the new owner’s taste. A sunny window above the sink looks out on the backyard patio – which would be perfect for a summer cookout or an early-autumn evening beside a fire pit. And if your guests have a sweet tooth, you can run across the street to Savoia’s, one of Rochester oldest and most-beloved bakeries for Italian cookies, kuchen or a cake.

This cozy cottage also offers storage in the dry basement, which houses convenient cabinets, and the attic which is accessed by drop-down stairs. The attic has the potential to be finished and converted into a third bedroom or home office. The driveway provides parking for two vehicles.

This home is currently listed at $74,900.

For more information about 77 Martinot Avenue, call Bonnie Hahn at (585) 3814451. An open house is scheduled for Sunday, November 3 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.

by Lisa Feinstein Lisa is the Vice President for Institutional Advancement at The Strong, a city resident and an avid fan of historic architecture and neighborhoods.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD Land developers for the iconic Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colo. (famous as the inspiration for the hotel in Stephen King’s “The Shining”) announced recently that they need more space and thus will dig up and move the hotel’s 12-gravesite pet cemetery.

Neighbors told the Fort Collins Coloradoan in September that they feared the construction noise, but somehow ignored the potential release of departed spirits (though an “Animal Planet” “dog psychic” who lives in Estes Park seemed to volunteer her services to calm the pets’ souls).

The War Against “Doing the Right Thing” — Teach Our Children Well: (1)

Officials at Milford Haven School in Pembrokeshire county, Wales, punished Rhys Johnson, 14, in October for violating the dress code against shaved heads. He was helping raise money for an anti-cancer charity after a third relative of his contracted the illness.

(2) North Andover (Mass.) High School punished honor student and volleyball captain Erin Cox in October for giving a drunk classmate a ride home.

Cox was clean-and-sober, but violated the school’s “zero tolerance” attitude toward alcohol users (even though more student drunk-driving might result if sober friends feared school punishment).

— Walter Dixon knew that he was about to be relocated in December 2012 from a Joliet, Ill., correctional facility to begin serving a new federal drug conspiracy sentence, but instead, state officials mistakenly freed him.

Dixon protested, but said he was aggressively dismissed from the premis-

es. It was not until September that he was finally re-arrested and began his new sentence. (Dixon was easily located because, though free, he had met regularly with his parole officer and was taking several vocational courses.)

Compelling Explanations — Perfect Sense: A 77-year-old motor-

ist told police in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, that he was going the wrong way on the Takamatsu Expressway only because he had missed his exit 1 km back and thought it best just to turn the car around and retrace the path back to the ramp. Police said his short September jaunt had caused a collision, not affecting the man’s own car.

— Lame: (1) In October, Jeffrey Laub, 39, was sentenced on several traffic charges, including leading police on a 111 mph, “Dukes of Hazzard-style” chase through Logan Canyon near Logan, Utah, with the explanation only that he needed an emergency restroom because of something he ate. Judge Thomas Willmore called the excuse “one of the worst” he had heard, since Laub had passed several public toilets during the chase. (2) Riverview, Fla., schoolteacher Ethel Anderson, 31, was convicted in September of having sex with a 12-year-old boy she was tutoring, despite her attempt to explain away the key evidence -- “hundreds” of sexual text messages -- as mere “rewards” to get his attention and encourage progress in math.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 58 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may be looking for love, but it’s adventure and excitement that is prominent in your chart.

Enter any new relationship with the mindset to have fun, not where it’s going to take you.

The less emphasis you put on commitment, the more likely you are to get one.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Pursue the partner who makes you think and shares your interests, not the one making promises that aren’t likely to be honored. Follow your intuition and protect your heart. Lean toward greater security and less uncertainty, and you will find peace of mind and happiness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll attract someone who pulls at your heartstrings and offers emotional mayhem. Put on your running shoes and head for the hills before it’s too late. Such an involvement is likely to be costly on all fronts. Deception and disillusionment will cloud your vision.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put a little hop in your step and show a little spark when dealing with people you encounter. Your ability to show a good sense of humor and a creative imagination will attract someone special. The couple that plays together will stay together. Look for common ground.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your choice of partner isn’t likely to please your friends or family.

Listen to the complaints being offered, but when it comes to making a final decision about someone you can’t say no to, you’ll probably choose to board an emotional roller coaster ride.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Passion will take over. Your desire and emotions will make it difficult for you to think straight when it comes to love and romance. Don’t do anything that has the potential to disrupt your personal situation. Nothing will be as it appears. Step back and wait.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A past relationship may disrupt your current personal situation.

Don’t get drawn into someone’s ploy to get back into your life.

Leave well enough alone and do your best to protect your heart from a situation that can be psychologically damaging. Put your feelings first.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You cannot put a price on love.

Look for the partner willing to explore the same life experiences. You may fee the urge to settle down, but doing so for the wrong reason will not bring you closer to your life goal. Be patient and the right partner will come along.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will attract a lot of attention, but before you decide to make an emotional connection with someone, consider what you are looking for. Don’t lead anyone on or make a promise to more than one partner. Honesty must come first.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll attract partners instantly, but be leery of the ones who aren’t clear about past relationships or whether they are still involved with someone. The likelihood of getting into a love triangle is present if you don’t ask direct questions before you invest too much time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Getting involved in a cause or helping someone in need will lead to an encounter with someone you relate to on many levels. Don’t expect your friends or relatives to approve of the partner you find fascinating.

Follow your heart, not the advice being offered.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll do just fine as long as you don’t mix business with pleasure. Getting involved with someone who can alter your professional reputation will not lead to your security. Emotions appear to be on the rise and can affect your ability to do what’s best for you.
