I read with interest the letter to the editor by Frank J. Regan, linking cycling to climate change (“Walking, biking for the climate,” Feedback).

There is little controversy surrounding the notion that a number of environmental and health issues — among them climate change, heart disease, and childhood obesity — are linked to our dependence on fossil fuels for transportation.

Increased cycling as a replacement is part of a reasonable response.

The common sense view, with which there is also little controversy, is that anything that seems to promote cycling is a good thing for cycling.

However, as government begins to spend significant amounts of money building cycling-specific infrastructure, it will be up to citizens to keep an eye on the new infrastructure and check on whether or not it really is good for cycling.

The ironically named shared-lane markings are intended to be placed in the center of the effective lane, between the wheel tracks, on lanes that are too narrow for a motorist and a cyclist to share side by side.

Repeat: They are to be painted in narrow lines, in the center.

In Rochester, these sharrows are being placed in wide lanes, as a sort of faux bike lane without the lane line, and close enough to parked cars to encourage doorings.

This placement suggests a profound misunderstanding of what sharrows are intended to accomplish.

League is one way to get involved

Referencing the article “Question Bridge: Black Males,” a person asked if “there’s a kind of onestop-shop for people who want to get involved.” I assume he or she

means learning about the myriad of issues that impact the community.

Judge Miller’s response should have mentioned the League of Women Voters/Rochester Metro as a route to involvement. This is a gender-neutral organization that provides educational forums and offers opportunities to make a difference.

As Mayor Lovely Warren stressed, “People who are not active in government have little room to complain about the system.” My years of social activism show that apathy reigns!

I urge everyone to get involved in the community to some capacity.

The new train station On “Train station work under way” (News):

Finally! This train station gets used a lot. Travel by train is cost-effective, better for the environment, and a lot more relaxing than driving. I am GLAD they are building a new train station to promote train travel in WNY and beyond. If we only ever focus on our cars and our highways, then we will become isolated from the rest of the country.

Safe bridges and roads are important. And they’re working on it. But that train station has needed help for a long time. I am glad they finally got it together and are starting work.

WINGSOFCOLOR

It’s hard to know how to feel about this sort of spending on a new train station. I like the idea of Rochester having a nice modern train station, and it doesn’t seem right to forever back-burner a new train station just because there’s some road or some bridge somewhere in need of repair.

There always will be.

Despite whatever shortcomings it has, the current train station has worked for a lot of years and the new one is expensive. Meanwhile the idea of travelling by train is no less than a couple of generations out of date and — notwithstanding the dream of high-speed rail repeatedly trotted out as a Democratic campaign issue — that reality is not scheduled to change.

Amtrak is fine for a weekend trip to New York since it gets you there in good time and because you won’t

need your car. Passenger rail is an awkward fit for most other travel scenarios for a variety of reasons, mostly centered around car or air travel usually being a better option.

RHA controversy

Our readers continue to talk about the scandal at the Rochester Housing Authority (News):

It is enough to say that this is merely the latest incident of scandal involving the Warren administration, her allies, and their mentor.

At worst, she has been aware of what was going on, but didn’t count on the public outcry against it. Hence her “concerned” pose, demanding [Adam] McFadden’s resignation, which he won’t give, and not demanding [George] Moses’ resignation.

She is counting on her popularity to allow this thing to blow over, like everything else that has happened this year.

At best, she is like the “Sorcerer’s Apprentice” and has summoned up demons she cannot exorcise.

Either way, her fitness to continue in the high office she has attained is questionable.

ISTVAN BATHORY

It amazes me how people are so quick to say that McFadden isn’t qualified for the position, when few know the extent of his qualifications and are probably clueless of the job description itself. Without knowledge of those two FACTS, people are making assumptions.

Here’s an idea: What if McFadden IS the best man for the job who just HAPPENS to be a council member and a friend of the mayor? Oh, and let’s not forget, he has a HISTORY of serving this community.

For those with so much negativity to spew, what have you done for anyone else lately?

The process described in the article is disturbing on a number of levels. Most tragic is the loss of time, resources, and effort toward providing quality affordable housing to the citizens of Rochester. Pull it together and return to the task of housing creation and maintenance entrusted to the board!

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Young adults love cities?

Will Rochester benefit?

If reports in the media are accurate, suburbs are losing their appeal for a key demographic, at least in some parts of the country. A lot of welleducated young adults are growing disenchanted with the uniformity and separateness of the suburbs. They prefer the denseness, activity, and convenience that cities offer.

If that’s truly a national trend, the City of Rochester has enormous potential. Whether it can overcome a major obstacle, however, is a big question.

The report, titled “The Young and Restless and the Nation’s Cities,” was prepared by a think tank called City Observatory, which, its website says, focuses on “cities and the policies that shape them.”

One of the important findings in “The Young and Restless”: For years, young adults between the ages of 25 and 34 with at least a four-year college education were happy living in the suburbs. But that has changed.

When City Observatory researchers analyzed data on where college-educated young adults live, they found that they are “increasingly choosing to locate in the close-in neighborhoods of the nation’s urban areas.”

“Two-thirds of the nation’s 25-34 year olds with a BA degree live in the nation’s 51 largest metropolitan areas, those with a million or more population,” the researchers found. Since Greater Rochester is one of the nation’s 51 largest metro areas, it’s included in the study.

City Observatory researchers looked at census data on young adults over the past several decades and compared it to data about the overall population of their metro area.

What they found was that in 2000, collegeeducated young adults were 77 percent more likely than the general population to live in “close-in urban neighborhoods.” In 2010, that preference had grown to 126 percent.

And City Observatory researchers found another significant change: collegeeducated young adults attract businesses.

“In the past two decades,” says the report, “we’ve witnessed an inversion of the classic recipe for economic development: it used to be that people moved to where the businesses were. Now, increasingly, it is businesses that look to expand in locations where there is an abundance of talent, especially young, well-educated workers.”

There’s a neat, symbiotic relationship: cities provide benefits for well-educated young adults, and those young adults benefit cities – and not just by living there and spending money.

City Observatory cites studies by several other researchers showing “that cities

Rochester offers plenty that collegeeducated young adults want. But it still hasn’t been able to solve one big problem. succeed by concentrating talent in place, and that college-educated people drive innovation and productivity.”

“Young, well-educated adults are the most mobile Americans,” says City Observatory; 1 million of them move from one state to another every year. “Because mobility declines rapidly with age,” the study says, the location decisions they make in their 20’s and early 30’s play a key role in shaping metropolitan economic success.”

Not all cities are experiencing the educated-young-adult migration equally, though. The City Observatory report doesn’t provide information about that migration city by city, but it does have some statistics about changes in that population in the 51 largest metro areas.

And if the number of college-educated young adults in a metro area is growing, the City Observatory research suggests that many of them are living in the largest city there.

In the Houston metro area, the educated-young-adult population grew by 49.8 percent from 2000 to 2012. In metro Denver, by 46.6. In metro Cleveland, by only .9 percent. Metro Detroit lost 10.5 percent of its college-educated young adults.

In the Rochester metro area, the growth was 9.1 percent. In Buffalo, 33.5 percent.

If some metropolitan areas are doing better than others, what makes the difference? What would Greater Rochester, for instance, need to do to move up from that 9.1 percent? And what would the City continues on page 7 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Pick a parade route

The City of Rochester will hold a public meeting to get feedback on proposed routes for next year’s St. Patrick’s Day parade.

The parade has to move at least temporarily, officials say, because of work on the Inner Loop.

There are five routes to choose from, which can be found here: http:// www.cityofrochester.gov/ paraderoute/. The public meeting is from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Monday, November 17, in City Council chambers at City Hall, 30 Church Street.

Chugging along

State and federal officials, along with Amtrak and a group that represents train passengers, kicked off construction on Rochester’s new train station. Most of the work happening this year is site preparation and design. Officials say that the $29.8 million station should be finished in 2017.

Big spenders

The state’s Joint Commission on Public Ethics released lobbying spending data for the first half of the year, and the No More Casinos Coalition is second only to New York State United Teachers in spending.

The coalition, which was formed by Western Regional Off-Track Betting and Finger Lakes Gaming and Racing, spent $24,000 on compensation for lobbyists and approximately $1.4 million on lobbying expenses, according to the data. During part of that period, the coalition campaigned heavily against a proposed Seneca Nation of Indians casino in Henrietta.

Downtown district delayed

Giving us gas

Rochester will be one of six Upstate cities to have a strategic fuel reserve for emergencies, including severe storms.

The governor’s office said that the reserve would consist of 2.5 million gallons of gasoline and ultra-low-sulfur diesel, both for first responders, if fuel supplies are somehow disrupted.

Broken planet

The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released the final version of its comprehensive climate change report. The sharply worded document says that climate change is happening, that the effects are being felt across the globe, and that sharp cuts in carbon emissions are necessary to avert the worst impacts.

The RDDC’s Heidi Zimmer-Meyer says that a business improvement district is needed because of the rapid pace of downtown redevelopment. FILE PHOTO

Creation of a downtown business improvement district has been delayed a year. And when the process starts up again, the boundaries of the BID will probably shrink, says Heidi ZimmerMeyer, president of the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation.

The RDDC had proposed a district that would encompass 13 neighborhoods: everything within the Inner Loop and High Falls, the Upper East End, and MonroeAlexander. The district’s boundaries expanded what has traditionally been considered downtown. That’s because developers and investors now consider those neighborhoods to be part of downtown Rochester, Zimmer-Meyer says.

Properties within the new district would, for a fee, receive enhanced services such as litter and weed removal, sidewalk cleaning, and limited snow and ice removal.

Zimmer-Meyer says that the district is needed, and sooner rather than later, because of the rapid pace of downtown redevelopment.

But property owners and others worry about a possible loss of individual neighborhood identity — especially because the proposed BID was so large — and the cost of being part of the new district. And at least one neighborhood that would have been in the district, High Falls, already has its own version of a BID. Zimmer-Meyer says that she’s not giving up on the BID. There’s just no way to go through all of the feedback and draw a new district in time for the deadlines that the RDDC had established, she says. According to the timetable, the BID would have to go to City Council for approval next month.

Zimmer-Myer says she can see the BID’s boundaries tightening up some, but she doesn’t know by how much.

“You don’t want to rush this because it’s important and a lot of people need to have a say,” she says.

“Downtown Boston’s BID took 15 years. And we’re at this now three years. So we’re actually doing pretty well, considering.”

“It’s fair to say that most newsroom employees are upset with a process that requires us to re-apply for work at a place where many of us have worked for years. Nonetheless, most in the newsroom are forging ahead and doing what needs to be done.” [ NEWSPAPER GUILD OF ROCHESTER ]

The D&C’s new newsroom

By December, the Democrat and Chronicle’s newsroom should be completely reorganized. News staff will have new titles and job descriptions, as well as reconfigured beats.

But it’s not entirely clear what this new newsroom will look like and how the D&C’s web and print products may change. And it is unclear how many staff members, some with decades of experience, may be out of jobs. They aren’t guaranteed new positions; if they want to stay on, they have to apply and interview for the jobs.

“Virtually every position in the newsroom is new in terms of how we’re defining it and the job descriptions that go with that,” says Dennis Floss, the D&C’s marketing director.

Floss wouldn’t elaborate on the new positions and beats. The newsroom staff received the new job descriptions last week and he says he wants to be respectful of them.

“It’s fair to say that most newsroom employees are upset with a process that requires us to re-apply for work at a place where many of us have worked for years,” says a statement from the Newspaper Guild of Rochester. “Nonetheless, most in the newsroom are forging ahead and doing what needs to be done.”

Karen Magnuson, a D&C editor and vice president of news, laid out the coming changes in a column to readers. She billed the reorganization as a way to improve the D&C’s digital content while staying faithful to the print product and its readers. Similar newsroom restructurings are happening at Gannett papers across the country.

Magnuson offered a few details in her column. The D&C will increase its investigative reporting staff from four to seven, she said, and add a problemsolving reporter to focus on consumer and bureaucratic issues.

She also wrote that the newsroom “will be leaner with fewer layers of managers but the number of reporters and photographers will remain the same.” Gannett’s consolidating some editing and production jobs into a regional hub, she said, and some people may lose jobs as a result.

Floss says it’s premature to quantify any possible newsroom cuts. The guild’s statement says that employees only know that the final newsroom work force will be smaller.

Tom Proietti, who founded St. John Fisher College’s communications/journalism program, says that the D&C’s restructuring makes sense. He points to his own media consumption habits as an example of the

digital shift confronting news organizations.

He says that when he’s looking for news, he starts with Twitter. The D&C is probably seeing similar patterns among its readers, he says. (Proietti is a Gannett stockholder, and a D&C subscriber.)

“People are programming for themselves simply because it’s easier to do, it’s more fun,” he says.

Floss says that the D&C tries to deliver news with audience behavior in mind. The company is looking at when and where people access its content, he says, as well as how. That’s top of mind for the news industry in general, he says.

“People want news when they want it on the device they want it,” he says.

Question Bridge on black identity The latest panel in the discussion series “Question Bridge: Black Males” was hosted last week by 10 members of Men of Color, Honor, and Ambition at Rochester Institute of Technology.

Hosts Timothy Reed and Bernard Rodgers asked, “Why is it so difficult for African-American men to be true to themselves?”

“Where I was brought up, it was taboo to be smart, and eventually I just owned my intelligence and formed an identity around it,” said Cory Ilo, of MOCHA. Yasmani Aguiar, another member of MOCHA, said, “There are a lot of social constructs and stereotypes.

Society puts pressure on all of us and it can be hard to step out of that comfort zone. It is good to be surrounded by positive people that support what you are doing.”

One African-American attendee said that the biggest need is support and encouragement. He said that doesn’t see himself in mainstream media and can’t relate to the messages they’re sending.

The next “Question Bridge: Black Males” discussion is at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 5. It will feature Lloyd Holmes, vice president for student services at Monroe Community College.

WILDLIFE | BY JEREMY MOULE

Let’s talk turkeys in Brighton

Wild turkeys, similar to the ones shown above, live in some of Brighton's parks and preserved lands. FILE PHOTO

Brighton Supervisor Bill Moehle was tending to town business on Runnymede Road a few months ago when he spied turkeys in a nearby yard.

Turkeys are a pretty common sight in the neighborhoods between Elmwood Avenue and Westfall Road, he says. In fact, the birds are well-represented in Brighton as a whole, though nonresidents most often see them along Interstate 590 between the Winton Road exit and the Interstate 390 interchange.

Brighton may seem an unlikely sanctuary for the bird, which is native to New York but at one time had been nearly driven out of the state. Brighton is, after all, dense and developed — more commonly associated with Democratic politics and compact neighborhoods than wildlife.

But there’s a reason why turkeys have trotted over to Brighton: habitat. Over the past decade or so, Brighton has bought several parcels of undeveloped land clustered in the center of town, much of it idle farm fields. The most recent addition is a 72-acre wooded area between Elmwood and Westfall; there’s a sense among residents that some of the turkeys live in the woods, Moehle says.

“There must be pretty good food sources for them to be there, with little predators,” says June Summers, president of the Genesee Valley Audubon Society.

Essentially, Brighton established a network of wooded and grassy areas, and the mix is appealing to turkeys, says 6 CITY

NOVEMBER 5-11, 2014

Mike Wasilco, regional wildlife manager for the Department of Environmental Conservation. At night, the turkeys roost in large trees for protection from ground predators, he says. They look for food in the grassy areas, Wasilco says, and may also get seed from nearby neighborhoods.

While it may seem silly to get excited over flocks of turkeys, the birds illustrate an important and evolving conservation approach.

Nature groups, land trusts, and governments have long focused on protecting farmland, sensitive natural areas, and large tracts in developing suburbs. The county’s big parks and preserves — places such as Mendon Ponds, Durand-Eastman, Black Creek, and Braddock Bay — are known for supporting wildlife.

But preserving smaller green spaces in dense communities and cities supports wildlife, too. Many species can find abundant food in urban areas, Wasilco says, but they also need secure places to nest and make dens. Habitat islands often provide that sort of protection.

“It gives them areas where they can get away and have some peace and quiet even with humans rather close by,” Wasilco says.

Rochester and its suburbs have other examples of habitat islands that support

important species.

Last year, the Nature Conservancy of Central and Western New York released a

report showing that migratory birds are big users of urban-suburban habitat islands in the Rochester region. Washington Grove, a city park adjoining Cobbs Hill Park, is heavily used by the birds, it says, as is Island Cottage Woods, a Greece preserve adjacent to Braddock Bay. And Summers, of the Audubon Society, singles out the Genesee River corridor as one of Rochester’s most important urban habitats.

The area under the Pont de Rennes bridge, for example, provides refuge for deer, fox, woodchucks, and turkeys, Summers says. Rough-winged swallows live in the rocks under the Broad Street bridge, she says, darting around the area and eating insects.

And a group of black-capped nightherons, a bird that normally lives in wetlands near Lake Ontario, is nesting near the Rundel library building, Summers says. They’re feeding off a population of fish in a shallow part of the river, she says.

“There’s so much that lives in that river and migrates through that river, it’s just incredible,” Summers says. “And every little green space that’s along it and through the city is used by animals.”

But one of the big success stories for the Genesee River is its lake sturgeon population. Last month, the DEC, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the US Geological Survey released more than 1,000 sturgeon fingerlings into the river.

The release was part of a long-term effort to restore the native sturgeon; by

Tax base is not the be-all and end-all.”

BRI GH T ON SU PERV I SOR BI L L M OEH L E

the early 1900’s the fish had basically been wiped out of Lake Ontario by overfishing and habitat degradation.

In 2003 and 2004, close to 2,000 sturgeon fingerlings were released into the river. Many of the sturgeon survived and are now approaching reproduction age, the DEC says.

But urban-suburban habitats face

challenges and pressures, too.

Invasive Norway maple trees were beginning to crowd out some native vegetation in Washington Grove, so the city and volunteers removed them. Now the native plants and trees, which migrating birds depend on, have a chance to thrive.

And federal and state officials wouldn’t have been able to reintroduce sturgeon into the Genesee if past pollution hadn’t been cleaned up. Officials and researchers are continuing efforts to remediate industrial pollution and to locate and address sources of nutrient pollution.

In Brighton, some new construction is happening around the town’s parkland cluster, and the potential for additional

development remains. Town officials have worked with developers to incorporate buffers around the parks, Supervisor Moehle says, and would likely do the same on any new projects.

Officials are sensitive to the fact that animals use the parks and protected green spaces as habitat, he says. And they’re aware that protecting land often benefits several species, he says. The same grassy areas that provide food for Brighton’s turkeys also provide habitat for grassland birds — a group that includes bobolinks and meadowlarks — which have lost considerable habitat nationwide.

Preserving green space also gives Brighton an opportunity to add to its parks. Faith Temple Church is selling the 70-acre parcel it owns along South Winton Road, for example, and many town residents and officials see the property as a logical acquisition since it’s next to Buckland Park.

The town is interested, Moehle says, but the asking price is too high right now.

Brighton officials have also heard from residents who want the land developed in order to increase the tax base. But parkland and wildlife add to the town’s character, Moehle says.

“Tax base is not the be-all and end-all,” he says. “It’s important, but it’s only one factor to be considered.”

of Rochester need to do to be a magnet for college-educated young adults?

Two things, City Observatory says.

One is to become “a more attractive place for those well-educated people who are on the move.” In interviews, well-educated young adults told City Observatory that they were seeking places that are “interesting, diverse, dense, walkable, bikeable, and well-served by transit.”

The City of Rochester has a good bit of that. But the second requirement is to excel in educating our own young people. And there, despite years of great intentions and effort, we continue to do poorly.

That will hinder Rochester’s ability to attract new talent and new industry. And it will make it hard to keep the talent we do attract, when those well-educated 25 to 34-year-olds have children reaching school age.

In another, smaller report, City Observatory researchers discuss that issue.

Census data indicate that of families whose youngest child is less than a year old, 42 percent live in cities, says that report. But when the youngest is 10 or older, that drops to 28 or 29 percent.

Since well-educated 25-34-year-olds have been moving to the city because they like what cities offer, will those attractions be strong enough to keep them when they have children of school age?

The City Observatory report cites a study by the Illinois Institute of Design that found, not surprisingly, that families who live in cities said that most important to them are schools, space, and safety. And the families liked the ability to use citybased cultural institutions and parks.

Another study of families suggested that affordable houses, with enough space for the special needs of families, is crucial. And there, Rochester, with its abundance of late 19th and early 20th-century houses, seems to have a big advantage.

Rochester seems to be a city in which advantages and disadvantages are competing with one another. Drive downtown at 11 at night, and you see an East End full of young adults. I walk through my neighborhood in the morning and on weekends and see families with small children.

The issue of schools, though, will continue to hold Rochester back. It may not deter young adults and adults whose children are grown, but holding onto college-educated adults with school-age children will be a struggle.

More on that in a few weeks.

CEMETERY CARE OFTEN FALLS TO VOLUNTEERS

PRESERVATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Peggy Byrd crosses a thick mat of grass in Mount Hope Cemetery on her way to a large monument next to a tight row of small headstones. One of the stones is engraved, “Margaret Van Ingen Weston 1902-1990.”

“There’s my Aunt [Margaret],” Byrd says.

“By just going into the cemetery office and asking where my aunt was, I found all of these other people in my family. I’ve done so much research, I feel like I know them. I have pictures of all of them.”

Byrd makes her way over to a second site, where more of her relatives reside. A monument reads, “Children of Bernard and Mary Van Ingen.”

“Look at the dates on the children’s headstones,” Byrd says. “Four of their six children died of diphtheria in the same month that year. Can you imagine that?”

Byrd has found the gravesites of many of her Dutch ancestors in Mount Hope over the last few years, most of whom she never had the chance to meet. She says it’s played an integral part in her genealogical quest. And Byrd is far from alone. The public’s fascination with genealogy is one of many reasons why cemeteries have experienced a renaissance in popularity over the last 15 years.

Though preservation is often associated with the restoration of architecturally significant buildings, homes of famous people, or prominent public institutions to their former glory, cemeteries have been steadily rising in importance in the preservation movement. The Landmark Society recently selected the Hillside Cemetery and Chapel in the Town of Clarendon as one of its 2014 “Five to Revive” sites in the Rochester area.

At least once a week, Byrd walks her dog, Willie, through Mount Hope or one of Rochester’s other cemeteries. A tall woman with a flash of white hair, Byrd says that cemeteries are a treasure trove of information. But she confides that their main allure is their beauty.

“I feel comforted being here,” she says. “I feel connected to this place. Cemeteries are as much about life as they are about death. There are all of these amazing stories here. Everywhere you turn there are stories about the lives of the people who lived here before us.”

Cemeteries are unique, which only adds to their

preservation cachet. Many are still operational, and restoration can help enhance their use.

And they can fill a surprisingly diverse range of uses that go far beyond burials, such as hiking and bird watching. And they attract students and enthusiasts of history, archeology, geology, and landscape architecture.

Many cemeteries were designed as parks or gardens, particularly if they were developed during the Victorian era. Mount Hope Cemetery, which was founded in 1838 as the nation’s first municipal cemetery, is a Victorian-era cemetery. It occupies roughly 200 acres of terrain formed by glaciers, but its landscape was purposely designed to inspire.

“Although this place looks like it sprang up from nature, every square foot of it is designed space,” says Dennis Carr, one of the cemetery’s longtime tour guides. “Today’s cemeteries are often flat fields. But in the 1830’s, that’s not what people were looking for. They wanted romanticism.”

Views on death and dying were also different in the mid-1800’s, says Marilyn Nolte, president of the Friends of Mount Hope Cemetery. Nolte is something of an honorary professor when it comes to preserving

cemeteries. Her all-volunteer nonprofit is committed to the restoration and preservation of what many people consider to be one of Rochester’s most important historic landmarks.

Cemeteries were called parks back then, Nolte says, because people would picnic in them, stroll through them, and literally spend time with the people in their family who had died.

“People generally didn’t live as long as they do today,” says Jason Church, materials conservator for the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training. “You often had more family members in the cemetery than you did at a holiday dinner or reunion” Church’s organization held a seminar on cemetery preservation in Niagara Falls earlier this year, and he’s had the chance to visit Mount Hope.

Cemeteries are also referred to as sculpture parks, he says, which makes them prized sites for photographers, painters, and filmmakers.

Older monuments, mausoleums, crypts, and headstones were often designed with a combination of wit, symbolism, and storytelling, he says. The craftsmanship and artistry can be challenging to replace, he says.

“In the Victorian cemetery, the headstone was quite fashionable,” Church says.

“Mausoleums often were designed by the same person who designed your house. It was the peak of fashion.”

But one of the biggest reasons for preserving cemeteries is their vast historical value, Church says. In some ways, he says, cemeteries offer a rare insight into our deepest questions.

“They provide us with a sense of place, a sense of who we are and where we come from,” he says.

But rescuing a cemetery from neglect and deterioration is a complex process. Despite its stature, Mount Hope Cemetery is like most municipally-owned cemeteries in that it’s not a profitable enterprise, says city Commissioner Norman Jones.

“The taxpayer does subsidize the cemetery because the costs are high, especially for a cemetery of this age and historical importance,” he says.

His department is responsible for the maintenance and care of the city-owned cemeteries. Mount Hope has seven full-time employees who work on the grounds, and they are augmented by seasonal help, Jones says.

But the city’s job of keeping up with repairs and maintenance is formidable, Jones says. That’s why many preservationists say that forming some type of stewardship organization such as Friends of Mt. Hope Cemetery is almost essential for communities hoping to preserve their cemeteries.

And strangely, one of the first obstacles most preservation groups face is determining who owns the cemetery that they want to preserve. Ownership can vary widely. In some ways, purchasing a grave site is a bit like purchasing real estate. The site will likely

come with some rules and regulations, but for the most part, it’s up to the owners of the mausoleums, monuments, and headstones to maintain them.

Many people assume, however, that when they purchase a burial site, that the cemetery and the burial site will be cared for indefinitely. And that’s not the case. Many cemeteries in New York and across the US have been lost, abandoned, or relocated.

“We lose cemeteries all the time,” Church says. Sometimes there are records about cemetery locations and grave identifications, he says, but they may be incomplete.

When a cemetery is abandoned in New York State, it becomes the responsibility of the municipality in which it’s located. But that doesn’t guarantee that the cemetery will be maintained, much less restored and preserved.

The Brighton Cemetery Association is working hard at restoring its cemetery, but there have been hurdles. The Brighton Cemetery was established in 1817 by the Brighton Congregational Society, and it was built next to a small church. When a fire destroyed the church in the mid 1800’s, much of the cemetery’s early records were lost, says Mary Jo Lanphear, historian for the Town of Brighton.

“Cemeteries are as much about life as they are about death.” - P E G G Y B Y R D And how well a cemetery is maintained often depends on the type of cemetery and the events or developments that have occurred around it. For example, in the preCivil War years, many families worked large farms, and their small burial plots were often located somewhere on the grounds. But over time, as the farms were sold and the land was used for different purposes, many of those cemeteries were lost.

There are also religious cemeteries, municipal cemeteries, and privately-owned and operated cemeteries.

“With a lot of these cemeteries, the church goes out of business and the cemetery gets left there, or the farm has been sold and the family no longer exists, and the cemetery is forgotten,” says Mount Hope’s Nolte.

Making matters even more complicated is that the section of Brighton near East Avenue and North Winton Road where the cemetery is located was annexed by the City of Rochester in the early 1900’s.

Technically, many of Brighton’s early town leaders and citizens are buried in the city, Lanphear says.

“Brighton doesn’t have a cemetery,” she says.

Interstate 490 near North Winton Road borders the cemetery and the roar of trucks and cars is almost overwhelming. A few older headstones are broken in half, revealing crusty salt-like centers that appear too porous to repair.

But the association has worked hard to preserve the gravesites of some of Brighton’s prominent citizens, such as Celestia Bloss, textbook author and founder of the Clover

Street Seminary; and William Billinghurst, who gave Brighton its name.

Other problems for cemeteries include vandalism and theft. Monuments are tipped over, broken, or painted with graffiti. And metals like bronze that are used to secure small flags, urns, or some other ornamentation near graves are frequently stolen. The metal can be exchanged for cash.

Woodchucks pose a different problem, says Mount Hope’s Nolte, holding up a large metal handle to an old casket.

“Each one will dig two or three holes to their den,” she says. “And they dig up all kinds of things — some things you don’t even want to know about.”

But frost heaving is one of the worst challenges for cemeteries in colder climates.

When the ground freezes, over time it can lift the base of headstones and monuments, tilting them off balance. This can eventually cause the stones to fall and break.

Water can also cause breakage by seeping into older stones and expanding as it freezes.

The cost of repairing gravesites can range

from a few hundred dollars to thousands.

But deciding whether to make those repairs is a judgment call, Nolte says. Even though it’s the owners’ responsibility to maintain a monument or mausoleum, what if the owner is dead? And what if there are no surviving family members?

Nolte says that she’s had to check many times for direct descendants before making repairs, but frequently there are none to be found.

“We do put up fallen stones,” she says.

“But in the case of a mausoleum, if you don’t do anything and it falls down, the bodies will have to be reburied in the ground.” continues on page 30

Branching out [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY

Josh and Jenna Miles hope their new restaurant, Branca (683 Pittsford Victor Road), will be a branch to a new location: the suburbs.

In fact, “branca” is Italian for “branch.”

“We saw a little bit of a void in that area in terms of casual dining, and we wanted to offer a place for people who didn’t want to drive all the way into the city,” Josh says. The couple are also co-owners of The Revelry on University Avenue. Inspiration for the name also came from the Italian digestif, Fernet Blanca, which is the official house shot at the Revelry.

Josh and Jenna have a passion for Italian cuisine and wine — they are both sommeliers — and wanted to bring that passion to life with Branca. Head Chef Pasquale Sorrentino is from Naples and has studied how to make authentic Neapolitan-style pizza as well as curing meats and cheeses. In fact, the restaurant is currently in the process of becoming VPN

(Vera Pizza Napoletana) certified, a “special designation to pizzerias who meet strict requirements that respect the tradition of the art of Neapolitan pizza making.”

The menu at Branca — which changes seasonally to highlight fresh ingredients — features a variety of pizzas to choose from, pasta risotto, salads, and entrees, and the lunch menu includes a variety of panini.

Of note is the Bufala e zucca pizza ($15) — butternut squash sauce, Bufala mozzarella, pecorino romano, olive oil, and fresh oregano.

And the Cavatelli al sugo di cinghiale, castagne e pecorino di Pienza ($18) is a wild boar Bolognese, chestnuts and pecorino di pienza. Look for Branca’s black truffle sauce, which is featured in a few dishes on the menu, including the Ricotta speziata pinoli e tartufo ($11) with house-made herbed ricotta, toasted pine nuts, and crostini.

Some items on Branca’s cocktail menu may look familiar if you frequent The Revelry. The

new restaurant has also added some cocktails that are aperitivo-inspired (aperitivo roughly means “to open” or “opener,” and is a drink meant to be enjoyed before a meal) and amaroinspired (translates to “bitter” in Italian).

Branca also has an extensive wine and beer list.

Branca is located at 683 Pittsford Victor Road. It is open Monday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 a.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.; and Sunday, 12:00 p.m. to 9 p.m. Menu prices range from $9 to $15 for lunch and $6 to $29 for dinner.

“Blue” HOT CUP Hotcuprecords.com

Mostly Other People Do The Killing is a band whose name is indicative of its radical nature, so “Blue,” a new rendition of Miles Davis’ landmark 1959 album, “Kind Of Blue,” might not seem in character. But MOPDTK is not just putting its own spin on a classic like many jazz artists do; this is a note-for note recreation.

That means every nuance of saxophone solos by John Coltrane and Julian “Cannonball” Adderley is played by Jon Irabagon. Every trumpet solo by Davis is recreated

by Peter Evans. Piano vamps and solos once played by Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly, bass lines by Paul Chambers, and drum parts by Jimmy Cobb, are meticulously rendered by Ron Stabinsky, leader Moppa Elliott, and Kevin Shea.

Is MOPDTK suggesting that jazz is now classical? Is the group like an orchestra recording yet another rendition of Beethoven’s 7th? Are in-themoment improvisations, once committed to vinyl, as important as etched-instone concertos, many of which began as improvised melodies? Yes, but it’s more absurd than that.

The blue-on-blue liner notes consist of one thing: “Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote,” a 1939 story by Jorge Luis Borges, defending the fictional Menard whose ambition was “to produce a number of pages which coincided — word for word and line for line — with those of Miguel de Cervantes.”

Later in the story Borges writes a line that could serve as a review of “Blue”: “There is no intellectual exercise that is not ultimately pointless.”

Adding to the absurdity, the album sounds absolutely wonderful.

Music Veni, vidi, voce Amanda Lee Peers FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14 RUBINO’S SPORTS BAR, 44 EAST MAIN STREET, WEBSTER 9 P.M. | AMANDALEEPEERS.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

With a voice akin to a plaintive purr or a growl, singer-songwriter Amanda Lee Peers is a compelling force of nature. The permeating pulchritude of her scrambled hair and vibrant smile doesn’t hurt either. But I’m telling you, it’s that voice and it’s dangerous, yet honeyed toned. Peers is the perfect blend of pop hook and sweet stuff from the classic rock book.

Amanda Lee Peers and the Driftwood Sailors was the definitive example of creative push and pull in the rock ‘n’ roll arena, where butting heads yielded some fantastic music. Song-based through and through, the band’s treatment of the music was a source of dispute and its ultimate demise two years ago. Its members splintered into various musical ventures, and Peers hit the stage as a solo artist — little did she know Hollywood would be calling.

Peers had auditioned in the past for “The X Factor,” “American Idol,” and “The Voice,” to no avail. It was when “The Voice” producers saw her homemade video of Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine” had reached close to 50,000 hits that Peers got the call to audition again. This time she got the call-back for the show’s seventh season (which is still airing).

She made it through round one thanks to a vote from Gwen Stefani, a judge on the show, only to be unseated by a young man whose weak timbre and puppy dog eyes somehow fooled the judges, and sent Peers home on the adios express.

The young lady is back where she belongs, rocking the stage with her guitar, singing her own songs. And there’s talk of putting a new backing band together on her terms. She’s considering a move to Nashville and hasn’t ruled out more TV entirely; it’s just a matter of time. She’s going to be a star, this Amanda Lee Peers … you’ll see. An edited transcript of City Newspaper’s interview with Peers follows.

City: The Driftwood Sailors broke up two summers ago. Por qué?

Amanda Lee Peers: I initiated it. It was getting

to the point that I wanted to go in a different direction. The guys wanted to go the more hard rock route and I was going more of the pop route. And we all had full time jobs, some 14 CITY NOVEMBER 5-11, 2014

had families, so it was hard to set up a tour. It was tough, but I finally figured it was time to part ways.

So now you’re playing solo out of necessity?

I’d always been doing solo shows around town, just me and my acoustic. You can play just about anywhere. It’s kind of out of necessity now, but I would like to get some people to back me because there are some songs I’ve written that are hard to do just acoustically.

They need that full band punch?

Exactly. But it wouldn’t be like before; this time, it would be like I’m hiring studio musicians.

So you’d be the boss. Hasn’t that always been the case?

I pretty much made that clear, but when you’re playing together and people bring ideas to the table ... I guess I had the final say, but I definitely welcomed people’s ideas. On one hand I was saying I had final say, but at the same time it was like I need help doing this stuff. I can’t do everything myself. I guess I wanted the best of both worlds. It was tough.

Sometimes this type of conflict renders some good music, don’t you think?

I dunno; I got some good songs out of it.

How’d the whole Voice thing happen for you?

They actually contacted me and said they’d seen me on YouTube and would I be willing to come and audition in Philly. They saw my version of “Ain’t No Sunshine.” I had just recorded it with a crappy camera in my bedroom, forever ago.

You know, as far as everyone around here is concerned, you won.

Taylor was a great singer. I love his voice. But I sang the crap out of that song.

And there was a write-in campaign to get you on Ellen DeGeneres’ show?

Because of my story. I grew up in the church; played music in the church. When I was 19, the pastor came to me and said, “I found out you’re in a relationship with another woman; we don’t believe in that and we can’t have you playing with the church band anymore. You can go to counseling and get fixed, and if you are fixed you can be back on the team.” So I just left the church at that point.

How did you handle this with “The Voice”?

Originally I had debated whether or not to say anything.

Rochesterian Amanda Lee Peers recently appeared on the TV singing competition "The Voice." The singersongwriter is now back in Rochester, planning her next big move. PHOTO COURTESY LEMON JAM PHOTOGRAPHY

Why was it anyone’s business, anyway?

That’s been my mindset. Why do I have to talk about it? Do people talk about being straight?

That was my big thing and I specifically told the producer, “Look, I know this is my story, but I don’t want to be the ‘lesbian’ on the show, even though it’s my truth.”

But it has worked out positively?

Yeah. A lot of people have contacted me: “Your story really inspired me; I’m going through the same type of thing.” It has been really cool.

When looking for new musicians to play with, what will the ad say?

Just looking for musicians that can jump right in while staying with current music; someone who loves music and just wants to play it.

Would you consider doing more television?

I really, really liked doing TV and would definitely do it again.

How about reality TV?

I can bring the drama. I got a lot of practice from being in the band.

Thanks

SUSHI BAR

KIDS | LUCKY DIAZ

Indie rock has gained a ton of steam in the 2000’s, and now there are even indie rock bands for kids. Lucky Diaz and the Family Band is one of them, but the Latin Grammy award-winning group is definitely in a different echelon than other kids bands. It has easily accessible topics for the kids — a song about counting from one to ten, for example — but the group’s catchy pop melodies can be enjoyed by all. The music is super positive and fun, and the group that looks like a jam band Steve from “Blue’s Clues” put together will leave a lasting impression.

Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band play at the Nazareth College Arts Center, 4245 East Avenue, on Sunday, November 9. 2 p.m. $17-$20. Artscenter.naz. edu; Luckydiazmusic.com. — BY TREVOR LEWIS abilenebarandlounge.com.

ZYDECO | MO’ MOJO

The Akron, Ohio-based Mo’ Mojo describes itself as a “Party-Gras” band, and it’s pretty accurate. Akron is about 1,000 miles from the heart of Louisiana, but Mo’ Mojo gets that high-energy, can’t-stop-moving Zydeco just right. Building on some solid traditional Zydeco, Mo’ Mojo brings in a little Americana, rock ‘n’ roll, and some New Orleans funk for a sound that gets into your boots. This show is part of The Rochester Cajun Zydeco Network’s 2014-15 series.

Mo’ Mojo will perform Saturday, November 8, at the Harmony House, 58 East Main Street, Webster. $10-$12.

A zydeco dance lesson will take place at 7:15 p.m. Show starts at 8 p.m. 727-4119; rochesterzydeco.com; momojomusic.com. — BY JAKE CLAPP 1675 Penfield Rd. 385-9202.

CLASSICAL | RPO PERFORMS BRAHMS, RACHMANINOFF, AND KODALY

This week, Christoph Konig will guest conduct the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra through a program of Brahms’s Third Symphony, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 1 — composed when Rachmaninoff was only 18 — and Kodaly’s “Dances of Galanta.” Brahms’s Third Symphony will most-likely be familiar to listeners for its soulful, sweeping melodies — especially its third movement, which has been used on TV, in film, and borrowed by Frank Sinatra for his song “Take My Love.” Eastman School of Music professor Douglas Humpherys will be featured during the orchestra’s performance of Rachmaninoff’s first of his four piano concertos. Zoltan Kodaly based his 1933 piece, “Dances of Galanta,” on the folk music of the small town of Galanta, now part of Slovakia — the piece is brimming with Eastern European romantic influence. Christoph Konig is currently the Principal Conductor of the Orquestra Sinfonica do Porto at Portugal’s Casa da Musica, and the Music Direcotr of the Solistes Europeens in Luxembourg.

The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra will perform on Thursday, November 6, at 7:30 p.m.; and Saturday November 8, at 8 p.m., at Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre, 60 Gibbs Street. $16-$94. 454-2100; rpo.org.

PUSHing through PUSH Physical Theatre MORE ON THE COMPANY CAN BE FOUND AT PUSHTHEATRE.ORG. [ FEATURE ] BY CASEY CARLSEN

Darren and Heather Stevenson, co-producers of PUSH Physical Theatre, have been asked more than once whether they wanted their extreme-movement, physical performance company to appear on national television (“America’s Got Talent” has called several times). But this is the first time they’ve accepted.

PUSH is currently appearing in the reality competition show “Fake Off,” a truTV show currently airing its first season. In “Fake Off,” teams compete to make it to the end of the eliminations by theatrically engaging and surprising the audience by reinterpreting — with a twist — a given theme. The winning team comes away with $100,000.

The Rochester-based physical theatre company recently spent time in Atlanta, where the show was shot. The first episode aired Monday.

The basic idea behind “Fake Off” — hosted by actor and dancer Robb Hoffman — is to give teams a theme which they must then shape, twist, and spin into an entertaining, convincing and clever reinterpretation. This seems a perfect challenge for PUSH, a group characterized by works of sharp humor and deep perception.

Still, it is also a bit out of step for the company in terms of usual operations.

“We like to focus on creativity and the work itself,” Darren Stevenson told City Newspaper last week. “I’m not usually big on the idea of competition because then it becomes sport, not art. But we wanted the national exposure and this show gave us the opportunity to work with a lot of other creative people. We were able to

utilize set and costume design in a way that we haven’t before. It was wonderful.”

The show’s competitors span a wide berth:

ArcheDream, a black light theater troupe from Philadelphia; The Body Poets, a street dance crew from San Diego; Freelusion U.S.A., a video projection mapping dance group from Los Angeles by way of Budapest; Inspirati, a shadow dance company from Denver; Kristef Strikes Back, a comedy acrobatics team from Las Vegas; Verses, a silhouette dance group from Los Angeles; Lightwire Theater, a luminous puppet theater from New Orleans; Wilderbe, an interactive video projection mapping dance company from Los Angeles; and YFX, a theatrical mime and illusion group form Detroit. The show’s judges are Harry Shum Jr. (from “Glee”), Michael Curry (from Broadway’s “The Lion King”) and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas (from the band TLC).

The theme given to the teams to “fake” on the first episode was based on the Super Bowl.

For its 90-second spot, PUSH created a humorous take on this ultimate American game — involving seven costume changes for Stevenson and a use of sets and props that is usually not financially possible for the company.

“The first question we asked ourselves was ‘What makes the Super Bowl the Super Bowl?’”

Darren said.

The company brainstormed together and decided that the experience of watching the Super Bowl was what most viewers would relate to, so that’s where they started.

PUSH’s “fake” begins with Darren sprawled on a couch, pizza in hand, watching the game on a large screen TV. We then watch this ordinary guy live his fantasy as he dives through the screen and into the game, casually tossing his pizza slice over his shoulder in slow motion and pulling a football helmet down over his head. He is

apparently the quarterback — we watch him throw the ball — but then he goes out for the pass too and becomes the receiver. Ah, fantasy.

PUSH excels in the slowdown and startup of time and this segment demonstrates just how effective, and yes, hilarious, that can be.

Next, Darren peels off another costume layer and it’s the halftime show. In his shiny silver suit, bending low over his microphone, he has become a sort of Bruno Mars figure, all pomp and flash. Our character then becomes the guy in the beer commercial during the halftime advertisements. And so the segment goes.

“It’s about visual illusion and redirection,” Heather Stevenson said. “Those ‘Aha!’ moments are fun surprises for the viewers. But telling a story in 90 seconds is more difficult than telling a story in 20 minutes.”

The couple also found that there is a different energy to rehearsing when there is a camera documenting everything.

“You censor yourself,” Heather said. “And usually when we’re performing — on stage — you turn off your filter.”

PUSH has been performing on stage for

almost 15 years; the Stevensons formed the group in 2000 based on a shared desire to “push” the limits of traditional theater. The two met while studying at The Center in St. Louis. Darren was born and raised in England, and Heather in New Jersey. They continued studying together with Several Dancers Core in Atlanta; Pilobolus collaborator Bill Wade in Cleveland; and The Goldston and Johnson School for Mimes at Kenyon College; as well as touring across the states and Europe during this time.

In 2009, they were awarded Performing Artist of the Year Award from the Arts and Cultural Council of Greater Rochester; and they also earned the Anton Germano Dance Award. PUSH now performs locally, nationally, and internationally in addition to working with students in Rochester schools.

The other performers in the company have diverse and fascinating backgrounds.

The Stevensons said they value the integration of personal experience into performance. Avi Pryntz-Nadworny, from Rochester, is a trained actor, juggler and gymnast. He studied circus arts in Quebec and performed with Cirque du Soleil.

Jonathan Lowery, from Jackson, Missouri, trained as a mime and actor and toured both nationally and internationally before joining PUSH in 2009. Past members of the troupe Christine and Ben Christensen, were recruited back to perform on “Fake Off.” The next episode of “Fake Off” airs on Monday, November 10. There will be a red carpet event at Hart’s Grocery beginning at 8:30 p.m. The troupe will be present and offering commentary as guests watch them “fake” its way through another theme. The event is open to all.

MUSEUM | THE NATIONAL TOY HALL OF FAME CELEBRATION WEEKEND

In addition to announcing what object of creative affection will be the inductee to the National Toy Hall of Fame, the induction Celebration Weekend will feature the opportunity to check out some of the previously inducted toys, such as the jigsaw puzzle (2002) and the cardboard box (no really, 2005).

The event will take place Saturday, November 8, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, November 9, from 1 to 4 p.m.

Each day, a presentation will be offered at 2 p.m. by Mark Shapiro, a member of LAIKA, the creative studio that produced “The Boxtrolls” and “Coraline.” (Show your museum receipt from Saturday, November 8, to receive $1 off a special screening of “The Boxtrolls” at The Little Theatre on Sunday, November 9, at 10:30 a.m.).

Continue celebrating the blank slate of the cardboard box by becoming a cardboard boxtroll using stop-motion animation with the help of RIT professor, Tom Gasek, by designing your own creature, and viewing original works by cardboard artist Lou Iannone. Become a piece of puzzle history by helping to build “Wildlife,” the world’s largest jigsaw puzzle, which measures five feet tall, 18 feet wide, and consists of 33,600 pieces.

RIT students Jean Pietrowski and Allison Thompson have curated a memento-filled timeline installation exhibition in honor of the legacy of deaf performer, playwright, teacher, artist, and director Bernard Bragg. “Lessons in Laughter: The Life and Times of Bernard Bragg,” opened last week at the RIT Museum space on the third floor of The Wallace Center (90 Lomb Memorial Drive, Henrietta). The show runs through April 10.

The 86-year-old Bragg, who lives in Los Angeles, was a lifetime friend to his mentor, Robert F. Panara, poet and pioneer of deaf studies at NTID, who died last July at the age of 94.

Bragg is the co-founder of the world renowned National Theater of the Deaf, has performed in Moscow with a Russian theater group, studied with famous French mime artist Marcel Marceau in Paris, and was a visiting professor and artist-inresidence at Gallaudet University and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at Rochester Institute of Technology.

by Matt Elson THROUGH JANUARY 4 MEMORIAL ART GALLERY, 500 UNIVERSITY AVENUE WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY: 11 A.M. TO 5 P.M.; THURSDAY: 11 A.M. TO 9 P.M. $5-$12 | 276-8900, MAG.ROCHESTER.EDU [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

For a limited time, Memorial Art Gallery is hosting several installations starring your face and mine. Peer inside each of nine “Infinity Boxes,” created by L.A.-based artist Matt Elson, and your countenance temporarily becomes part of a kaleidoscopic, optical illusion created by carefully positioned mirrors, lights, flowers, candles, and other bits of pretty interest.

Four of the boxes are positioned within a room in the Grand Gallery, with the rest dispersed throughout the MAG, in order to encourage visitors to explore the rest of the museum. This is Elson’s first museum show with the boxes, which have traveled across country from the west coast to the east by way of a few stops at art fairs and Burning Man. The Infinity Boxes are compact works of beautifully crafted wooden furniture, tall with wood panels closed in by decorative frames. As viewers approach each work, they will notice facesized, rectangular or triangular openings emitting soft glows of lights or the shimmering reflections of those lights on glimpses of mirrored surfaces.

When peering inside, the almost entirelymirrored interiors offer the illusion of infinite 22 CITY NOVEMBER 5-11, 2014

corridors winding and twisting away into obscurity. The impression is so effective that I have to admit I stepped back and gently, gently stretched my hand forward to test the actual limitations of the seeming boundlessness— while being careful not to touch and leave smudges, so that I didn’t destroy the illusion for the next viewer. As my fingertips approached the surfaces and their own reflection, the illusion collapsed, and the snug quarters revealed themselves.

Depending on the positions of the mirrors within, the effect of looking forward, up, down, or off to the side is that the box becomes populated by a fascinating or unsettling sweep of your face from different angles. I say “fascinating or unsettling,” because it’s akin to the discombobulating feeling of being in a fun house, or catching a view of yourself in a manymirrored dressing room and experiencing what you look like from various non-frontal views.

Eight of the nine boxes require at least two

people in order to experience the box to the fullest. Usually, one person is required to poke his or her face into one opening, while another person stands at the opposite portal, experiencing an entirely different view of their friend’s face — and their own — in the kaleidoscope. This is where photography comes into play, too. The artist invites creative engagement by encouraging viewers to photograph their friends’ faces as part of the installation, and having a friend help is the only way to get a photo without your phone or camera in the shot. Plus, there really isn’t room for your face and your camera in the gaps.

Only through a friend’s photographs can you experience what their view of you is, but the photographs cannot full capture the optical illusions involved in these works. The experience is essentially temporal and fleeting.

One of the boxes, “Mènage á Trois,” has room for three people to peer in at once, and provides a disorienting and then “magic eye,” hallucinatory experience for those with the patience to relax their gazes.

“Radiance” in particular lends itself very well to photographing different expressions in one shot to those who have mastered the use of the panoramic feature on their smart phones. In some boxes, I saw my face as a many-headed goddess in a Hindu temple, surrounded by flowers and candles left by devotees. Accordingly, I flashed alternating benevolent and fierce looks.

This level of interaction involved with the artwork is rare in a museum, but growing in this social media age. Even if the installations aren’t your thing, you have to hand it to Elson’s clever sense to take advantage of our desire for an ever-fresh, interesting selfie, or in this case, almost-selfie. Include the audience through such an invitation, and your viral success is almost guaranteed.

The Infinity Boxes “are a form of contemporary portraiture that is tuned to social media,” Elson says. “Typically, two people will walk up, look in from each side, put their heads in the box, be surprised, get happy, then spontaneously take out their phones, photograph each other and publish those pictures via the web.”

It’s a smart tactic. The Whitney Museum of American Arts’s recent Jeff Koons retrospective appealed directly to how we currently interact with technology by passing out cards — to teen visitors — with an invite to snap selfies on the reflective surfaces of Koons’ sculptures.

The cards included the hashtags and other info the kids should use on social media to ensure that the art house staff saw their selfies, and The Whitney promised to regram or otherwise share the best ones.

But Elson also junks all of that noise with “Thankful,” the sole box built for one, which provides the intimate meditation of a solo encounter with countless views of your own face, unfolding like the petals of a flower amid twisting ropes of colorful and buzzing lights. Here, he returns our focus to the true aim of the boxes, which is to meditate upon the concepts and experiences of “self” and “other.” There is no way to accurately photograph this one and share what you’re experiencing with others; this one is just for you and your own reflection.

FILM | ROCKS IN MY POCKETS

Depression is, as one might imagine, a rather difficult subject to make humorous. But miraculously, Latvian-born director Signe Baumane does exactly that in her witty, new film, “Rocks in My Pockets,” showing this Wednesday at The Little Theatre. Utilizing a combination of papier-mâché stop-motion and classic hand-drawn animation, Baumane weaves a personal tale that explores the history of depression and mental illness throughout the lives of three generations of women in her family. Imaginative and surreal, the award-winning film blends history, psychology, and comedy, proving animation to be the perfect medium to delve into an issue that’s far too frequently swept under the rug.

The Little (240 East Avenue) will screen “Rocks in My Pockets” on Wednesday, November 5, at 6:30 p.m. Director Signe Baumane will be in attendance for a Q&A following the screening. — BY ADAM LUBITOW

INTERSTELLAR LOVE CRAFT Andy Warhol was one of those tirelessly prolific individuals whose bottomless oeuvre we never seem to fully exhaust. For example, a special cluster-screening of “Andy Warhol’s Sexy Silent Films” — which I didn’t even know existed — will be presented at the Hawkins Carlson Room of Rush Rhees Library (University of Rochester River Campus), on Thursday, November 6.

The screenings include “Haircut #1,” made at Billy Name’s legendary haircut parties, at which the attendees get more comfortable than at your average salon; “Blow Job,” which is pretty self-explanatory; “Mario Banana (1 & 2),” starring Warhol superstar Mario Montez; and “Jill and Freddy Dancing,” set on a rooftop and against the Manhattan skyline. Do I need to mention this is a viewer-discretion-advised kind of scenario?

COMEDY | ALONZO BODDEN

Before launching into stand-up comedy, and breaking out after performing at Montreal’s Just for Laughs Comedy Festival and winning season three of “Last Comic Standing,” Alonzo Bodden taught aircraft mechanics. The comedian studied aerospace in school and became a licensed aircraft mechanic — he has said that the comedy started when he tried to make his students laugh. If you look closely, the mechanical background can be seen in Bodden’s stand-up: he approaches a topic with a level-headed logic, and many of his talking points revolve around the absurdity that occurs when society, our government, and justice system, loses its mind. NPR listeners will also recognize Bodden as a frequent panelist on the news quiz show “Wait, Wait … Don’t Tell Me!” Alonzo Bodden will perform Thursday, November 6, though Saturday November 8, at The Comedy Club, 2235 Empire Boulevard, Webster. 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, $12; 7:30 and 10 p.m. on Friday, $15 per show; and 7:30 and 10 p.m. on Saturday, $20 per show. 671-9080; thecomedyclub.us; alonzobodden.com. — BY JAKE CLAPP

THEATER | “KING LEAR”

There are plays, and there are tragic plays, and then there’s “King Lear.” Bernard Shaw considered Shakespeare’s play the greatest tragedy ever written, and most scholars, audiences, actors, and directors would agree. Its bitter, pessimistic view of kingship, family relations, and life in general casts a long shadow; it is also one of the most demanding, disturbing, and rewarding plays in the Shakespearean canon, so any production of it is a must-see. “Lear” is the first major production of the season for the Shakespeare Players program of the Rochester Community Players, who bring together some very experienced local Shakespeareans, including director John Jaeger and actor Mark Casey as Lear, to present this herculean work.

Shakespeare Players present “King Lear,” on Friday, November 7, through Monday, November 10; Friday, November 14, through Sunday, November 16; and Thursday, November 20, through Saturday, November 22, at MuCCC, 142 Atlantic Avenue. $19 general admission, $14 over 65, $9 under 25.

Writer W.S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan were still a new team when they produced “The Sorcerer” in 1877; they went on to worldwide hits like “H.M.S. Pinafore” and “The Mikado,” but this early work retains its charm. The story is thoroughly Gilbertian: a young man enlists the help of a sorcerer to give a love potion to his entire village — administered in their tea cups. The result includes some very inappropriate and funny match-ups, all set right by curtain time.

The Off-Monroe Players present “The Sorcerer” for three weekends, beginning this Friday. This is a production with a difference: director Brian Smith is presenting the show in the round, a first for the group and an unusual approach for an operetta. This G&S rarity will be preceded by a “Gilbert & Sullivan Jukebox” revue of many of the eminent Victorians’ greatest hits.

Thanks

[ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA

Greece Ridge 12

It is of course tempting, if a bit too facile, to construct a comparison between the situation in “Birdman” and the realities of Michael Keaton’s career. He began performing as a comic, then as an actor in some entertaining film comedies — “Night Shift,” “Johnny Dangerously,” and “Mr. Mom,” for example — then achieved great success in the first of the revamped Batman

movie franchise way back in 1989. After two stints in the bat suit, he made some odd choices — a villain in “Pacific Heights,” a supporting part in “Jackie Brown,” and weirdly, the title character in the ridiculous “Jack Frost” (he must have been desperate at that point).

In “Birdman,” he plays Riggan, an actor identified with another costumed superhero, the Birdman of the title, now trying to reinvent himself as a serious dramatic artist by directing and appearing in a Broadway play he has written, based on the work of Raymond Carver. An angry, difficult personality, literally haunted by the costumed character he played, Riggan frequently hears the voice of his alter ego, taunting him, urging him to return to the part that made him famous, sapping his will and his confidence. He also faces a number of reminders of his personal failures, from his ex-wife, his girlfriend, and his daughter.

The rehearsals for his play go badly, engaging most of his energy and providing most of his frustration, all

made worse by an injury to one of the principal actors. The situation changes when Lesley (Naomi Watts), the female lead, convinces him to use her boyfriend Mike (Edward Norton), a talented actor almost as neurotic as Riggan. In one of the best moments in the film, Mike begins his work by giving Riggan an acting lesson, showing him to improve some of his dialogue and how to play a particular scene.

That scene in fact emphasizes the movie’s major subject, the whole difficult, complicated, crazy profession of acting. The characters constantly discuss their attitudes toward the art, several of them frequently berate Riggan about his ego, his selfishness, his ambition to resurrect his career; Norton, moreover, states, and demonstrates by attempting actual sex on stage, that life is pretending and acting is reality.

A nasty drama critic for the New York Times dismisses Riggan as a celebrity rather than an actor, and though she vows never to read or see the work, promises to write a review that will destroy the play and its writer-director-star.

The movie follows a strange visual pattern

that mixes in a number of oddly assorted elements. The director depends heavily on the Steadicam, following each of the major characters in long tracking shots, in continuous takes, down the narrow, winding corridors backstage. He alternates that technique with frequent two-character shots,

often in close-ups, with the actors, particularly Norton and Keaton, mostly arguing fiercely about the play and the art of the stage itself.

Some of the sequences suggest moments of strangely comic surrealism, with Keaton, locked out of the theater, jogging through Times Square in his underwear, followed by a crowd of tourists and fans, and then running up to the stage just in time to do his scene. The director throws in a moment of a drum band playing in Times Square, then on the stage, with a character dressed as Spider-Man jumping around. He also indulges in some wilder fantasy, showing Riggan joining the Birdman in a flight through Manhattan, then ends the movie on a most ambiguous note that brings in the title character all over again.

Whether appropriately or not for an actor’s movie all about acting, “Birdman” tends to allow its performers to soar too far over the top, with the players mistaking shouting for emotional intensity, too often simply repeating themselves in scenes that also repeat themselves. Playing a very different character from any he’s done before, Michael Keaton best shows his abilities when playing the characters in the play within the movie. Edward Norton, not surprisingly, inhabits the most interesting personality in the film, the person who personifies the Birdman’s aspirations, who demonstrates some of the differences between the Hollywood star and the Broadway actor, an appropriate foil, even the perfect antagonist for the protagonist, teaching the Birdman how to fly.

The Rochester Polish Film Festival returns for its 17th annual chapter this week, offering a program of interesting, thought-provoking films that make up the best of what contemporary Polish cinema has to offer.

In two years of covering the film festival (sponsored by the University of Rochester’s Skalny Center for Polish and Central European Studies) it’s quickly become a festival I eagerly look forward to. Each year, the festival consistently brings Rochester a lineup of films that are challenging, entertaining, and characteristic of Poland’s vibrant film community.

This year’s program is made up of seven feature-length films, and each of the screenings will be held at The Little Theatre.

Tickets are $9 general admission, $7 for students, and are available at The Little’s box office. For more information visit facebook.com/skalny.center, or contact the Skalny Center by phone at 275-9898.

With “Wałesa: Man of Hope” (Thursday, November 6, 7 p.m.) celebrated director Andrzej Wajda offers the third part of a thematic trilogy (following

Eliza Rycembel, Dawid Ogrodnik, and Magdalena Poplawska in “The Word.”

PHOTO COURTESY OPUS FILM

his landmark films “Man of Marble” and “Man of Iron,” both screened by the festival this past weekend) centered around Poland’s unions and the working-class’ battle against communist oppression. A biography of trade-union leader Lech Wałesa — and founder of the Solidarity movement — the film follows the cocky, cantankerous, yet oddly charming leader’s life from his days as a shipyard electrician to winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Wajda delivers an enjoyable, frequently-stirring film boasting a fantastic, charismatic lead performance from Robert Więckiewicz.

The award-winning “Life Feels Good” (Friday, November 7, 7 p.m.) follows the life of a man, Mateusz, (David Ogrodnik) with cerebral palsy, and his lifelong struggle to be treated with dignity by those who can’t look past his disability to see the thoughtful, intelligent man. We hear Mateusz’s interior monologue throughout, showing us what a smart, funny, and sensitive soul he is and allowing us to more keenly feel his frustration at being unable to communicate with those around him.

For such traditionally tear-jerking subject matter, writer-director Maciej Pieprzyca brings a unexpectedly light touch to the material, crafting a film with as much humor as heart.

Director Roman Polanski’s wickedly entertaining battle of the sexes, “Venus in Fur” (Saturday, November 8, 6:30 p.m.) was reviewed by me earlier this year, and it remains just as great as I remember.

Centered around an escalating game of dominance between a theater director and the actress auditioning for him, the film creates a thrillingly provocative exploration of gender roles and power dynamics.

The tense, engrossing drama, “The Word,” (Saturday, November 8, 8:30 p.m.) provides a dark portrait of teenage love and revenge as a young girl (Eliza Rycembel) forces her unfaithful boyfriend to prove his loyalty in order to win back her affections. Director Anna Kazejak’s somewhat detached directing style fre-

quently leaves Lila’s inner thoughts inscrutable, making her a particularly cold and unsympathetic protagonist, and the script feels compelled to offers a disappointingly literal explanation for her behavior, but the film remains absorbing to the end.

Anna Kazejak will be in attendance for a Q&A following the film.

In its unsparing depiction of alcoholism and addiction in the life of a revered but troubled author (Robert Więckiewicz, in another fine performance), “The Mighty Angel” (Sunday, November 9, 3 p.m.) strikes an odd balance between heightened, literary dialogue and grotesque imagery (director Wojciech Smarzowski clearly relishes depicting the more unsavory side effects of addiction). When combined with its fragmented narrative, the result is a tone meant to keep its audience off-balance, a draining — if accurate — representation of the mindset of an addict.

The Polish Film Festival also brings Rochester audiences one last opportunity to catch Pawel Pawlikowski’s acclaimed drama, “Ida,” (Sunday, November 9, 7 p.m.) on the big screen. The film, about a young wouldbe nun who learns just prior to taking her vows that she’s actually Jewish, received a rave review from City’s George Grella a few months back, calling it a “small, somber masterpiece.” With a nomination for Best Foreign Language Film at this year’s Oscars all but guaranteed, it’s essential viewing for any film buff. Even better, lead actress Agata Trzebuchowska will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A. The festival closes out with the period dramedy “One Way Ticket to the Moon” (Monday, November 10, 7 p.m.). Set in the late 1960’s, the film follows the road trip undertaken by two brothers — young, naive Adam and older, worldly Antoni (Filip Plawiak and Mateusz Kosciukiewicz, respectively) — after Adam is drafted into the Polish navy. Despite an odd tonal shift in its third act, the film is lively and engaging, succeeding largely thanks to its likeable lead actors.

And making the repairs is ultimately better for the cemetery’s business, she says.

“If you visited a cemetery and you were thinking of purchasing there and you saw all of these damaged stones lying around, you might think, ‘This isn’t right for me,’” she says.

There are also larger projects under way at Mount Hope, including a reforestation program. Mount Hope has lost more than 250 trees over four years, according to city officials — some were diseased and others fell victim to age. A fund-raising campaign is under way to raise $70,000 for new trees.

About $22,000 has been raised so far.

And the city is in the process of developing a master plan to serve as a vision for the cemetery’s future growth and care.

But there’s a whole other component to preserving a cemetery that is completely separate from physical maintenance and repair work.

“You could say that it’s like anything else; you have to find unique ways to promote your business,” Nolte says.

While there are notable people buried in Mount Hope Cemetery, including Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass, it’s also a wildlife habitat. There are bluebird birdhouses all over the cemetery.

“It’s on the path of a lot of migratory birds,” Nolte says, and the cemetery draws a lot of bird watchers.

Friends of Mount Hope regularly offer themed tours for a small fee to raise funds, she says, and the group applies for grants.

“Once you get people in here looking around and seeing everything that’s here, learning all of these [historical] things about the cemetery, they become a lot more interested,” she says.

She says that she advises other preservations groups to capitalize on what makes their cemetery special. Cemeteries don’t have to be of the size and scale of Mount Hope to be worthy of preservation, she says. Sometimes it’s easier to preserve small cemeteries, she says.

“I think our community has always valued our cemetery,” says Tom Cook, president of the Oakwood Cemetery Association in Nunda, New York. Cook’s group has completed restoration work to the cemetery’s 1897 soldier’s monument, and members conduct a lot of tours.

The former school teacher says that he especially likes giving tours to students.

“I tell them it’s like an outdoor history book,” Cook says. “And I want them to see that the way a community takes care of its cemetery says a lot about the health of a community.”

­A Stunning Stucco

365 Canterbury Road Park Avenue, one of Rochester’s favorite neighborhoods, is famous for its vibrant summer festival, trendy boutiques, and eclectic eateries.

The neighborhood is also renowned for its beautiful houses of diverse architectural styles.

Tudor mansions and historic brick apartment buildings are side by side with lovely traditional houses like the 1920 American Foursquare at 365 Canterbury Road.

jewel of the house is the grand stairway with its beautiful balusters. Three spacious bedrooms, all with hardwood floors, open from the upstairs hall. The large master bedroom has its own bath, gas fireplace, walk-in closet, and sitting area. The enclosed sleeping porch off the smallest bedroom serves as a home office.

Another full bath and linen closet complete the second floor.

Constructed on a tree-lined street near the southern border of the neighborhood, this period house has stunning exterior features. Its unusual pebbled stucco finish and corbel detailing above the windows and doors blend seamlessly with the hipped roof, overhanging eaves, and dormers—traditional features of a Foursquare. An impressive stone front porch welcomes you in.

A stairway off the upstairs hall leads to the fantastic finished third floor—perhaps the original maid’s quarters. Comprised of a bedroom with gleaming hardwoods, a carpeted home gym with skylights, and a full bath, the area adds functional living space to the house.

Once inside the elegant foyer, you notice the interior features original to the house—hardwood floors, crown moldings, and arched doorways. To the right, the living room is enhanced with built-in bookcases and a bay window that overlooks the front yard. But the focal point of the room is the plaster relief, a raised sculpture, over the gas fireplace. Across the foyer, the charming lavender dining room with another bay window and period chandelier has space to accommodate a large dinner party. Beyond the dining room a smaller windowed breakfast room offers another dining space option. The original swinging door opens to the sunny yellow kitchen. A powder room completes the first floor.

While a serviceable small stairs connects the kitchen area with the second floor, the crown

The laundry and the house’s mechanics are located in the basement. A detached two-car garage complements the design of the house.

365 Canterbury Road is in the Rochester City School District, and several houses of worship are nearby. The Park Avenue Neighborhood has many active neighborhood associations such as the Park Avenue Neighborhood Coalition, Southeast Area Coalition, and the Park Avenue Merchants Association.

This 3,390 square foot house is listed at $179,900 with taxes of $8,554. For a tour, call Mark Siwiec of Nothnagle Realtors at 585461-6375.

SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME. IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT IN THIS FORECLOSURE ACTION, YOU MAY LOSE YOUR HOME.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE. The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and nonprofit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Banking Department of Financial Services at 1-800-342-3736 or visit the Department’s website at www.dfs. ny.gov. FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home.

There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.
