Phone calls from the edge Rod Bales was a helicopter door gunner and crew chief in Vietnam. When he returned home, he was in the early stages of alcoholism. He attempted suicide three times, and says he still copes with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Bales has been sober for 14 years, and says he no longer thinks about suicide. But his experience was not unusual. Suicide is a serious issue for both veterans and active service members.

In 2007, the federal Department of Veterans Affairs created the Veterans Crisis Line to help veterans and

active service members who are having emotional problems, with a particular focus on preventing suicides. The calls are directed to the Canandaigua VA Medical Center, where a staff of about 200 trained professionals work with callers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And the calls come by the thousands: more than 148,000 so far this year.

This is the tax goal on personal incomes over a million a year, including income from investments. No exceptions, no loopholes.

Occupy’s scope needs broadening

The Occupy movement is too narrowly focusing on Wall Street alone. They should be protesting the promiscuous triad of Wall Street, Washington, and the Federal Reserve. No piece of legislation that benefits the elite and well connected comes to life without bipartisan support.

We no longer live in a representative democracy. Lobbyists write sample legislation, and some staffer bakes the cake. If you don’t have the connections in the country club or money to pad the reelection coffers, you aren’t represented.

Both parties are guilty of this, and in fact we’ve the finest democracy money can buy. Just look at what it costs to run for elected office.

Street, which didn’t stop the obscene profits and bonus for Wall Street. There are more corporate lobbyists and advisors in government positions then you can believe. There’s plenty of blame and responsibility to go around.

So I have a suggestion.

While the Occupy movement clarifies its beliefs and goals, I suggest a visit to the local library to check out a book. “The Secret History of the American Empire”

by John Perkins is well worth the read. In it readers will find the politicians of every stripe, the corporations we thought we knew, and the money men of the Federal Reserve, the IMF, and the World Bank, who all had a hand in the taxpayer cookie jar.

Perhaps if we truly understand what the game is, we won’t continue to be conned.

JAMES SLOWIK, FAIRPORT

Why oppose health-care act?

I am appalled that (according to a recent poll), one out of every two people I deal with every day in Monroe County wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Really?

Fifty percent want to deny coverage to sick children with preexisting illnesses? Do you really want to kick young adults off their parents’ health plan during these tough economic times?

What about Medicare Part B and giving well visits to seniors?

And I assume that you do not want the cost savings built into the plan? Really?

A recent Democrat and Chronicle story said that 74 percent of our county residents are worried about keeping their job.

It is ironic that if the Affordable Care Act were fully implemented, these people would keep their health care, even if they lost their job. It is amazing how many people will cut off their nose to spite their face.

JAMES PELC, HENRIETTA

Ask questions before decision on fracking

As someone who values the animal and plant life on our planet, I expect that any decision on hydraulic fracturing will be based, above all else, on protecting the health and safety of our citizens and their environment. There are many ways to meet our energy needs, and those with a minimal

impact on our life-support systems should be sought first.

What needs to be considered? These are some of the items on my list.

1) Are the chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process safe?

What is toxic and carcinogenic?

2) How will the HF fluid waste and all the heavy metals, chemicals, and radioactivity brought to the surface be safely disposed of?

Who will bear the cost?

3) What regulations have been developed to ensure that the health and safety of the public is protected from the waste produced by HF? 4) What are the effects on our water supply due to HF? Are current and future generations protected? If there is contamination of our water supply, how will it be restored to safe levels? Who will bear the cost?

5) As world demand for water exceeds supplies and “water wars” are likely, what volumes of water will be required by the HF industries? How will their need for water affect the communities surrounding them?

6) Shale gas is mostly methane. As methane gas is a more intensive greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, how will the escape of methane gas into the atmosphere be prevented?

7) Who bears the cost for maintaining and improving roads and bridges that are needed for the HF process? Who pays for services provided by the community such as fire and police?

8) What is the effect of noise, truck traffic, dust, and possible air pollution on surrounding communities?

9) How will the tourism industry be affected?

10) How will state agricultural lands be protected? If they are impacted, who pays the cost?

11) What will be the cost to the DEC and state taxpayers to adequately monitor HF and enforce regulations?

I expect my government to thoroughly investigate all aspects of HF and make sure its citizenry is protected, today and in the future generations. As Martin Luther King said, “the time to do the right thing is all the time.”

GUEST COMMENTARY | BY SUSAN ORR AND JIM JOHNSON

Our Occupiers, the mayor, and Rochester’s 13 percent After protracted conflict and numerous arrests, Mayor Tom Richards and Occupy Rochester reached an accord allowing the protesters to stay in Washington Square Park. Their agreement is crucially important because absent access to public space, effective freedom to speak and assemble, and along with them democracy, wither.

That said, the mayor has not actually engaged with our Occupiers. He claims, after all, that while sympathetic to many of their concerns, most fall far beyond the purview of his administration. Is it so difficult to see how “We Are the 99%!” is relevant to Rochester?

The Brookings Institution just issued a report tracing the growth since 2000 of concentrated urban poverty in America.

The basic concept is this: Someone lives in concentrated poverty not just if she herself lives at or beneath the officially defined poverty line, but if 40 percent or more of all those residing in the same census tract as she also live at or below the official poverty level. In 2010 the official poverty level was $22,300 for a family of four.

Using this metric, the situation in Rochester is grim. Of the primary cities in the 100 largest metropolitan areas in America, Rochester ranks third in concentrated poverty. In relative terms Rochester is just ahead of Syracuse (fourth) and significantly ahead of Albany (20th) and Buffalo (29th). In absolute terms, Rochester has a population of 202,644, of whom 56,813 live at or below the poverty level. Of that poor population, 26,705 reside in concentrated poverty.

That is just over 13 percent of the city’s entire population.

Concentrated poverty has negative consequences. It tends to depress educational quality, real estate values, and private economic investment while placing upward pressure on crime rates, the cost of living, and local government expenditures.

Each of these trends is disturbing. Shouldn’t Mayor Richards consider them to be central to his concerns? According to the Brookings report, those living amid concentrated poverty confront a “double burden” — their individual poverty is compounded by contextual features of “the place in which they live.” This, in turn, “complicates the jobs of policymakers and service providers working to promote connections to opportunity and to alleviate poverty.”

The Brookings report, however, neglects other crucially important factors.

The concerns that Occupy Rochester articulates point directly to the plight of many city residents.”

Concentrated urban poverty has dire political consequences. While it does not break down the Rochester numbers by race, the report notes that, nationally, “African Americans remained the single largest” racial group experiencing concentrated poverty. There is no reason to suspect that Rochester diverges from that pattern.

Political scientists Cathy Cohen and Michael Dawson have demonstrated that African Americans who live in concentrated poverty are more likely to believe that politics works to the advantage of the wealthy and white. And they are less likely to participate in politics in various ways. As in the Brookings report, these findings identify a contextual impact over and above the burden of individual poverty. Significantly, Cohen and Dawson use a much lower threshold (30 percent) to measure the effects of concentrated poverty. So, given the levels the Brookings report establishes, it is likely that the negative political consequences of concentrated poverty in Rochester are especially pronounced.

Put bluntly, concentrated poverty like that found in Rochester is bad for our democracy. It reduces political participation among the least advantaged, making it unlikely that the political system will be responsive to their interests and values.

Like their counterparts elsewhere, Occupy Rochester decries economic hardship and the highly skewed distribution of wealth and income. The concerns they articulate point directly to the plight of many city residents. This should not be hard for the mayor to understand.

High-speed funding derailed

The Senate and House of Representatives voted to eliminate federal highspeed rail funding. The legislation has been sent to the White House. Representative Louise Slaughter, an ardent supporter of high-speed rail, criticized the cut but said New York can still apply for rail funding through another federal transportation program.

Fracking hearing packed

Close to 900 people attended a Department of Environmental Conservation hearing in Dansville on hydraulic fracturing.

Outside of the hearing, pro- and anti-fracking groups held rallies, though the majority of the speakers were anti-fracking, said media reports.

A safer route to city schools?

The city school board’s policy committee is advocating a change to the district’s transportation policy to guarantee transportation to and from school for K-6 students who live in some of the city’s more troubled neighborhoods. Students who live 1.5 miles or less from their school are currently not eligible for transportation.

The public was able to comment and view preliminary plans for the Rochester Intermodal Transportation Center.

Possible sites include the existing Central Avenue Amtrak station, a lot on Andrews Street on the west side of the Genesee River, the former US Post Office on Cumberland, and the Kodak parking lot on State Street. The plan calls for a 20,000square-foot building to serve as the city’s hub for Amtrak, Greyhound, and Trailways buses; taxicabs; and other forms of local public transportation.

Poster collection chronicles AIDS

SF cancels an Otterness sculpture

Several media reported that the San Francisco arts commission has cancelled one of its two contracts with sculptor Tom Otterness. The decision is the result of protests over Otterness’s killing of a dog 34 years ago as part of an art project. In Rochester, the Memorial Art Gallery has been criticized for continuing with a commission for an Otterness sculpture on its grounds.

The University of Rochester has acquired a collection of AIDS public-health posters, dating back to 1981. The collection was accumulated and donated by Dr. Edward Atwater (not pictured).

Photo by matt deturck

Dr. Edward Atwater says that, starting with stamps, he has always been a collector. And when he began seeing public-health posters concerning AIDS, he knew the posters were unique and worth collecting.

Atwater began to study how Americans and societies around the world responded to the HIV and AIDS epidemic in the messages communicated through these posters. He has more than 6,200 posters — the earliest from 1981 — from more than 100 countries.

He acquired them from clinics, by trading with other collectors, and through other means.

“I started collecting them as medical history, but their significance is really about social history,” says Atwater, emeritus professor of medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

The first posters were about fund raisers, Atwater says, when little was known about the disease except that it was fatal.

“Then there was the discovery of how the disease could and could not be transmitted,” he says.

The next generation of posters reassured a paranoid public that there was no reason to fear or avoid people with AIDS, since the disease could not be transmitted by touching or kissing.

The posters continued to evolve, often using language and images that pushed cultural boundaries.

And public-health agencies learned how to tailor their messages to reach specific audiences.

The posters were a versatile and inexpensive way to communicate with many people at once, Atwater says.

Atwater recently donated the collection to the Rare Books and Special Collections Library at the University of Rochester. The collection can be viewed online: http://aep.lib.rochester.edu/browse

New York has legitimate reasons for implementing strong ballast-water regulations.

New York’s ballast-water regulations under attack

School 6 down, but not out?

The House of Representatives has passed legislation that could invalidate New York’s tough new ship ballast-water regulations.

New York’s regulations, which are supposed to go into effect in 2013, limit the number of live organisms that can be present in ships’ ballast water. New York essentially sets the ballast water standards for the entire Great Lakes system, since the St. Lawrence Seaway is the main entry point for oceangoing commercial ships.

House Republicans have made several attempts at quashing New York’s regulations.

Last week, they advanced a Coast Guard reauthorization bill that also requires a federal ballast-water standard; that legislation passed.

That standard will trump any state regulations, even if the state regulations are tougher. Jen Nalbone, navigation and invasive species director for Great Lakes United, says the legislation requires only a mediocre standard. Under the current law, federal agencies could implement a stricter standard, but the House bill would make that difficult, Nalbone says.

“It ties New York’s hands to protect its waters from invasive species from ballast,” Nalbone says.

The Senate hasn’t voted on the reauthorization bill and could approve a version

The city school board has voted to close School 6 at the end of the school year. The decision comes about a year after the board backed away from a proposal by former Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard to close Schools 6 and 2. | The school building is needed for alternate classroom space while other buildings undergo construction in a massive project to upgrade and modernize district schools. | The school board will reevaluate the decision to close School 6 in a year to determine how the building will be used in the future. It will be used for educational purposes, though it may not necessarily be a school. | An evaluation team will make a recommendation on how to re-use the facility. | Interim Superintendent Bolgen Vargas said that without closing School 6, the district would have to lease additional space at its Hart Street facility. That would increase costs for the construction project by more than $31 million over 15 years, he said. That news seemed to shock some board members, who said they weren’t told about the added costs when they agreed to keep Schools 2 and 6 open. The proposal then, they said, was to use the building at 690 St. Paul Street as alternate classroom space. The district already leases space at 690 St. Paul, so there wouldn’t be any additional costs involved.

of its own. If it differs in any way from the House bill, the two chambers will have to reconcile the legislation. Past ballast regulation bills have died in the Senate specifically because of state Louise Slaughter. preemption issues, FILE PHOTO Nalbone says.

The Coast Guard is already in the process of developing new ballast-water regulations.

Last week, a group of House representatives, including Louise Slaughter, sent a letter to Coast Guard Admiral Robert Papp Jr., asking the agency to finish the regulations.

Monroe County is failing its children, says Dr. Jeff Kaczorowski, a pediatrician and executive director of the advocacy group, the Children’s Agenda.

The group recently released a status report on children and youth in Monroe County.

The report measures how children are doing by looking at their health and safety, economic self-sufficiency, school readiness and school success, and their ultimate outcomes including graduation rates, teen birth rate, and arrests for violent crimes.

The report, titled “A Decade of Decline,” found that from 1999 to 2009, more children are living in poverty, more are victims of abuse and neglect, and that Rochester continues to struggle with teenage pregnancy and infant mortality.

(You can find the report here: www.thechildrensagenda.org).

“We had a sense that things weren’t going so well,” Kaczorowski says, “but I don’t think we thought it was that bad. To have 21 variables and 15 of them are getting worse? What kind of track record is that?”

There is some good news: more 4-yearolds are participating in pre-kindergarten programs than ever before, the number of children with elevated lead levels in their blood has dropped significantly, and more than 96 percent of children in Monroe County have health insurance.

But the majority of the report is unsettling.

Some of the worst statistics: • Less than 15 percent of Monroe County children have access to high quality child care; • More than 20 percent of children live in poverty; • Less than 15 percent of kids have access to quality after-school programs; • Reports of child abuse and neglect have risen by 47 percent since 2003.

“The world has changed incredibly in 10 years, and we are doing worse by kids,” Kaczorowski says “We own that.”

There are four proven ways to improve outcomes for children and youth, Kaczorowski

says: expand evidence-based home-visitation programs like the Nurse Family Partnership — which is for first-time mothers — to capacity; increase access to quality child care and pre-k; get more children into effective after-school programs; and implement a violence prevention and social and emotional program in every elementary school in the city school district.

“A social and emotional program is proven to increase academic outcomes,” Kaczorowski says.

“It’s all about identifying how to relate to other people, what triggers make you anxious, how to persist in a task.”

The problem, he says, is that communities often lack the patience or the political will to make the initial upfront investments in

these programs. The money typically goes to intervention, Kaczorowski says, instead of prevention, even though the long-term savings would be much greater under the latter. For pre-k programs, for example, the return on investment may be as high as $17 for every $1 invested by the time a child reaches adulthood, Kaczorowski says.

Kaczorowski calls for a “transformative vision” for Monroe County’s children, which could include strategies like children’s impact statements in local budgets, and social-impact bonds.

“We have to have public entities — governments — understand how important this is, and what the return on investment for this stuff is,” Kaczorowski says. “We want action. We really want to make sure that the community is aware of what has happened for kids.”

ACTIVISM | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Occupy brings reform proposals to City Council Several members of Occupy Rochester addressed City Council last week, issuing what they said was the first in a series of demands for progressive reform.

Occupier Olivia Nole-Maltezzi said the reforms are “vital for positive change,” and the beginning of a long reformation process.

The demands addressed housing, labor, urban farming, and public funding of private projects.

Nole-Maltezzi asked City Council to set aside 20 acres of land for urban farming within the next year. Doing so would help alleviate generational poverty, she said, and give city residents ready access to healthy, cheaper food.

It would also, she said, improve neighborhoods by making use of vacant land.

Occupier Richard Yaniak decried “corporation manipulation” of local

communities and municipalities to get tax breaks and other unfair advantages. He called for an end to corporate welfare and said that all private projects receiving financial or technical assistance from the city should use 75 percent to 100 percent local labor.

Yaniak also called for a moratorium on residential foreclosures until the courts can fully sort out the abuses in the current system, and for the creation of an urban homesteading program.

“Housing is a human right,” he said.

Occupier Jason Sager criticized the use of taxpayer money to finance private projects that, he said, enrich local developers but are of disputable benefit to the community.

He pointed to the recently announced Windstream deal in which the city will sell the building Windstream will use at Midtown for

$1. Windstream will also seek tax abatements through COMIDA, a city official has said.

Public resources should make up no more than 10 percent of a project’s total cost, Sager said.

Occupiers said there would be more demands coming in the future.

“We would like to work with you,” Sager said to Council members.

Council was also presented with a petition with more than 1,000 signatures asking for charges to be dropped against the approximately 50 Occupiers who were arrested before Mayor Tom Richards began allowing a 24-hour encampment at Washington Square Park.

Phone calls from the edge Vietnam veteran Rod Bales says he still doesn’t like to sit with his back to the door in an unfamiliar place. Not being able to see who’s coming and going makes him feel anxious, he says.

Bales joined the Army with a high school friend in February 1966. The two were caught in a blizzard near Macedon, and took shelter in a barn. They dreamed of being in the hottest place they could think of. The steamy tropics of Vietnam seemed like a good alternative to Upstate New York in the middle of winter, Bales says.

Only 17 at the time, Bales says he thought enlisting was the right thing to do, and he figured he’d be drafted anyway.

“Enlisting in the service was like a higher calling, a noble thing to do,” he says.

Bales came home about three years later in the early stages of alcoholism and posttraumatic stress disorder. He attempted suicide three times.

Bales has been sober for 14 years and says he no longer thinks of suicide. But he still suffers from PTSD, and says he understands why thousands of veterans call the Veterans Crisis Line, a toll-free hotline for veterans and active service members, at all hours of the day and night. The calls come into a call center run by the Canandaigua VA Medical Center, which is part of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ vast network of healthcare facilities.

The department created the Veterans Crisis Line in 2007. The number, 1-800273-TALK (8255), is the National Suicide Prevention Line. Calls from veterans and active members of the service are then directed to the Veterans Crisis Line, which is staffed by specially trained mentalhealth professionals.

The toll-free hotline number is all but tattooed on veterans’ palms. It’s promoted on the VA’s Web site and in VA hospitals and outreach offices across the country.

Active-duty service members are also given information about the Veterans Crisis Line.

City

NOVEMBER 23-29, 2011

The calls form a complex emotional arc.

A caller might be frustrated because he needs transportation to pick up a new pair of glasses. Another might be depressed because his spouse and children have left.

And then there’s the caller who says something like, “I have a gun in my lap and I’m planning to use it.”

The Veterans Crisis Line call center is

sequestered on an upper floor of the Canandaigua VA Medical Center, about 20 minutes east of Rochester. Call responders, many wearing phone headsets, sit at desks with large computer screens that can provide responders with important information about the people on the line, such as their medical history, address, military status, and records of prior calls.

With its dimly lit cubicles and the low, but constant hum of voices, the call center is a nimble hive of caretaking. The call center has grown from 15 responders in 2007 to about 200 today. Approximately 20 to 24 responders staff three daily shifts, fielding calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The highly trained responders listen to the veterans and assess the urgency of the calls.

Callers range from active service members sitting on a hillside in Afghanistan, to a homeless veteran calling from a phone booth in San Diego. Most of the callers, about 75 percent, are men.

And the volume of calls is so high, it tests the imagination.

From October 2010 to September 2011, responders handled 148,198 calls.

More than 90,000 were from men and women who identified themselves as veterans or active service members, and more than 10,000 identified themselves as family members or friends of veterans or active service members. And 6,177 of the calls involved rescues of people who were contemplating suicide or already engaged in the act.

Since opening in 2007, the call center has handled 478,439 calls and rescued more

Then, Kemp says, responders ask, “Have you made plans? Do you have a gun? Where is the gun right now?

Do you have pills?

Have you taken any of the pills?”

Handguns and drug overdoses are responders’ biggest worries, Kemp says.

Some estimates indicate guns are responsible for as many as 70 percent Janet Kemp is the VA’s national mental health program director. of suicides among

sure the caller is engaged in care. And after a couple of months have passed, responders make “compassionate callbacks” to see how the caller is responding to care.

“We have to make sure that they not only haven’t somehow fallen through the cracks of the system, but that they’re also feeling better,” Kemp says.

Repeat calls to the Veterans Crisis Line indicate that the veteran or active service member hasn’t connected to the right type of help, or that the support they’re receiving isn’t working for them. The good thing, Kemp says, is that they’re still trying to help themselves.

“We work with their [mental health] care providers on a treatment plan, so that when they call back, we’re not telling them something different than their provider is telling them,” Kemp says.

For example, the care provider will often help the veteran or active service member create a plan to cope with anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts.

“Maybe it will make the person feel better if they go bowling or to see a funny movie,” Kemp says. “So planning for this ahead of time, the person calls a friend or a sibling to make an arrangement. They both know that going bowling or to the movies means, ‘I’m feeling bad. Can you spend some time with me?’”

These details are available so the responder can ask, “Have you thought about calling your brother and going bowling?”

The call center’s responders have

varied backgrounds. Many are veterans themselves, Kemp says, or have worked with the VA and are familiar with the population served by the Medical Center. Some responders have degrees in psychology or social work.

The call center tends to attract people who are drawn to the emotional intensity of the work.

Mary Woodruff, a licensed mental health counselor, is a good example. She began working at the call center in 2005.

“A big piece of the job is the intensity of it from the moment you hit the ground,” she says. “It’s scary in the beginning.”

Woodruff says many of the callers need someone to stop and listen to them.

Listening without judgment is rare, she says.

“But it’s absolutely crucial to be able to do this,” she says. “I’m trying to be as present as possible when I’m on the phone because it can mean someone’s life or death if I miss something.”

Woodruff says she can usually hear a change in the caller’s voice that lets her know that he or she is going to be OK. “I’ve heard the call where someone says, ‘I’m going to end this. Come and get my kids,’” she says. “But if you stick with them and let them be heard, somehow the process works as it’s supposed to.”

Shift supervisor Dan Brown says the hardest part for him was accepting that some people won’t seek help.

A woman once called on behalf of her sister who had already completed her suicide about an hour earlier, Brown says.

The caller didn’t know what to do, so she called the Veterans Crisis Line.

“I thought, ‘Oh my god, did I just hear that?’” Brown says.

Brown says he’s learned to listen for what he calls the buffers to suicide.

“They’ll say, ‘If it wasn’t for my religion’ or ‘my child’ or ‘my pet, ‘I would kill myself,’” Brown says.

That’s their firewall, he says, and it can prevent them from going through with the suicide.

The calls can last a couple of minutes or, in rescue situations, a couple of hours, Brown says. There’s no time limit.

Despite tomes of research, much is still

unknown about suicide and suicide prevention.

“ A big piece of the job is the intensity of it from the moment you hit the ground.

It ’ s scary in the beginning. ” MARY WOODRUFF

Suicide recently moved from the 11th overall cause of death among adults in the US to the 10th, Kemp says. And most experts agree that suicide rates among veterans and active service members have increased in recent years.

The high number and duration of tours may be creating risk factors for active-duty service members in Iraq and Afghanistan. Added to that is the financial stress and pressures of raising children under such transitory conditions, Kemp says.

But what’s still unclear is how much the rates have increased, and why. Much of the confusion stems from the different ways suicides are reported.

There are more than 30,000 suicides in the US annually, according to a 2008 report prepared for Congress. Suicides among veterans and active service members are included in that number.

Some research suggests that they may account for about 20 percent of these deaths.

But there is no suicide surveillance and reporting system specifically designed for veterans. While the Center for Disease Control collects data on suicide rates, many states are not required to report that the deceased was a veteran or active service member.

VA Director Kemp says she is concerned by the growing assertion that military service somehow increases suicide rates, and that there are precise ways of preventing it. Out of all the suicides that occur among active service members, about a third occur with people who are deployed, about a third occur among those who are home, and about a third occur among those who’ve never been deployed, she says.

And Vietnam-era veterans make up about a third of the suicides among all veterans, Kemp says.

Bales is a Vietnam vet, but says he liked his time in the Army.

“I was a door gunner and crew chief on helicopters,” he says. “I loved flying. I loved helicopters.”

He says he can’t pinpoint a particular incident that caused his PTSD. He says he understands the symptoms, and how the disorder led to his struggle with alcoholism and to his suicide attempts.

But he says he doesn’t know when or how it happened.

“Instantly something inside of you changes and nothing is ever the same again,” he says.

Music to your mouth [ CHOW HOUND ] BY SUSIE HUME

While Rochester has its fair share of quality Mexican restaurants, many still mourned the loss of El Parian Mexican Grille (3070 W. Henrietta Road, now Nick Tahou’s Hots) when it closed last year. Those patrons will be glad to know that its former manager, Ramón Herrera, has opened a new Mexican grill less than a mile away. Mariachi Mexican Grill opened its doors earlier this month in Henrietta in a former DiBella’s location.

Herrera has transformed the small sub shop space into a rich, warm, and cozy restaurant by adding mustard-colored tufted leather booths, a large, colorful mural, and adobe-style interior roofing that juts out over the bar and an adjoining wall. The jampacked seven-page menu features a wide variety of lunch and dinner combination plates as well as a la carte choices, appetizers, desserts, and a children’s menu.

For starters, diners should try the El Mariachi dip, a gooey cheese concoction made even more delicious by the addition of grilled shrimp, chicken, steak, and chorizo.

It’s served with pico de gallo and tortillas, but there’s no shame in digging in with a spoon (or your face). Entrée selections include the expected — fajitas, quesadillas, chimichangas, and burritos — but those looking to try something different should consider the grilled catfish tacos or chilaquiles. Traditional Mexican desserts are also offered, including

The class is being led by Bill Park, executive chef at the Rochester Chapter of American Red Cross, and will feature handson cooking of several varieties of comforting soups. The second course, “Back to Your Roots – Vegetable, That Is,” is being led

by Rosita Caridi-Miller, chef and owner of Cibi Deliziosi (3894 Rush-Mendon Road) and takes place Monday, December 5; the cost is $30. Participants will learn how to incorporate root vegetables into entrees, sides, and appetizers in anticipation of the upcoming holiday celebrations.

Rock ‘n’ roll powwow [ review ] by frank de blase

Shuffling my way through the pre-show fog, I had high expectations and even higher hopes for the Judas Priest/Thin Lizzy/Black Label Society show Wednesday, November 16, at the Main Street Armory. I needed a good old-fashioned rock show to clear out the cobwebs. The Armory was packed, the vibe was palpable.

With just two remaining original members — guitarist Scott Gorham and drummer Brian Downey — this is the closest we’re going to get to authentic Lizzy without a witch doctor or a Ouija board. The band sounded great. Gorham positively wailed on guitar, going for the throat at every opportunity. Vocalist Ricky Warwick had the unenviable task of filling Phil Lynott’s shoes, but did so admirably.

With the crowd singing along loudly as “War Pigs” blasted through the PA, Judas Priest came on blazing. The sound was amazing. I worried that this show was going to sound terrible, but the band’s precision and dynamic intricacies were all there. It dug deep into its 30-plus-year catalogue for what turned out to be a two-and-a-halfhour set. Despite wailing for all these years, Rob Halford’s voice is still there. He still runs the spectrum from grizzly to choir boy.

Rock ain’t dead just yet.

Neither is the torch song. Coming on like Julie London during a carnival

stop, Pittsburgh’s sideshow chanteuse Phat Man Dee was engaging and bawdy at Abilene on Saturday night. She captivated most and weirded out more than a few. Her voice was bright and brassy, dripping with hints of drama.

She explained away her ultra-glam glittery lipstick technique as leftovers from sucking on Dorothy’s shoe before launching into “Over The Rainbow.”

Thee Oh Sees played a blistering set to a packed and seething crowd Monday night at the Bug Jar. People had been raving to me about this show all week and now I see why. This San Francisco band is dynamite, wild and frenetic. It was predominantly revved-up garage rock, but the echo-plexed vocals gave a nod to Mr. Phillips, while the band — two guitarists, two drummers, and a keyboardist — sent a salute to Mr. Spector. John Dwyer was a man possessed, shouldering his drop-tuned, 12-string guitar like a rifle, and singing with a vocal attack a la Lux Interior, Jon Spencer, and Linda Lovelace.

The sound was noisy in spots as the chaos frequently reared its head, but it was totally appropriate. It was sinister and ferocious and fun. You know, they used to call this the devil’s music. I think they can start calling it that again.

suck. When you’re doing it by yourself you’ve got to trust your own judgment. You go with your gut instinct.

But you’re not completely alone in the studio. There is a producer.

Yes. That definitely helps. You get a lot of insight from that. I start everything in my own in my basement. Then I pick the demos I want to do and take them to the producer.

I ended up working with a ton of producers over the past couple years in a ton of different situations.

How’d you get started in music?

I was around 11 years old and my parents set me up with drum lessons. So I went and gave that a shot. I loved it and picked up on it really quickly. That started the whole thing for me.

The Ready Set is just one man − Jordan Witzigreuter (pictured) − though the live shows feature a full band. PHOTO COURTESY roberto chamorro

Ready, set, go The Ready Set w/The Summer Set, Downtown Fiction, Plug In Stereo Friday, November 25 Water Street Music Hall, 204 N. Water St. 6 p.m. | $15-$17 | waterstreetmusic.com Thereadyset.com [ INTERVIEW ] By Frank De Blase

Pop music, for the most part, is a mix of pleasantries and hooks. It’s the sound of lofty ideals and celebration. However, there is room to take it deeper, or at least a few shades darker. There is room for intelligence and creative insight. There is room for The Ready Set. Though it’s a full band live, there’s room because The Ready Set only takes up one spot at the recording table. It’s just one guy, Jordan Witzigreuter, a lone wolf, a solo pilot.

Still relatively new on the music scene, The Ready Set put out two self-released albums — “Syntax and Bright Lights” (2008) and “Tantrum Castle” (2009) — before releasing “I’m Alive, I’m Dreaming” on Pete Wentz’s (Fallout Boy) Decaydance Records label in 2010. The music is light, but not shallow, fueled by Witzigreuter’s apparently rabid curiosity. There’s a little lyrical darkness lurking about in the fun. This coupled with his shaggy-haired good looks has had the young ladies squirming coast to coast.

Witzigreuter called up recently to discuss working alone, working with a band, The 14 City NOVEMBER 23-29, 2011

As a drummer yourself, do you find that you’re harder on your drummers?

Yeah, definitely. I’m on my third drummer now and he’s pretty awesome. I’m in a good situation now.

Will you ever record with a band?

Ready Set’s impending album, and how to spell Witzigreuter. An edited transcript of our conversation follows.

CITY: Why do you record alone?

Jordan Witzigreuter: I’ve been in bands pretty

much all my life and I was always playing drums. I decided I kind of wanted to do my own thing, write my own songs, and I pretty much made that happen.

But you choose to have a band live?

Yup. Is it hard to relinquish some of the control you have in the studio when working with other musicians on stage?

Probably not. I’ll probably just keep things all myself, unless it’s an instrument that I don’t play.

For the most part it’ll just be me and whatever producer I’m working with at the time.

Does living in Fort Wayne, Indiana, instead of a music-biz Mecca like New York or Los Angeles perhaps keep you from getting jaded, or color your music somehow?

Definitely. It gives things a kind of different, unique perspective. Maybe there’s a midWestern feeling to it, I’m not really sure.

You’ve got an album coming out next year yet you just released the “Feel Good Now” EP. These songs couldn’t wait?

No, it’s actually pretty easy. I send my band the songs when I finish them, I let them kind of write their own parts for the live instruments, and we just go through things from there at practice.

It was more of a spur-of-the-moment thing. It was more for the fans, not necessarily trying to get a single or anything like that. I just wrote five songs to hold people over until the album comes out. So I put this out sort of under the radar, just for fun really.

Is it a difficult transition from alone in the studio to live with a band?

So how does the new album compare? What direction is the Ready Set heading?

Not really. It’s definitely two different things, but they kind of go hand in hand once you get a feel for the songs.

What are the advantages of working with a band?

The advantage of working with the band is you have other people to bounce ideas off of, and somebody to tell you when your ideas

I don’t really know. I try not to overthink things too much. I just go in and write what I feel like at the time and see what happens.

REGGAE | Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad

Things are getting increasingly giant for Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad — bigger venues, bigger crowds, and bigger tours. The Rochester-grown band has been spreading the love coast to coast for the past few years, but in what has become a hometown tradition, will bring the music on home Thanksgiving Eve. GPGDS shows are sweaty love fests fueled by a relentless groove that doesn’t let up until the crowd is sufficiently sassified. The band will showcase a few teasers from its two new albums (one acoustic, one electric) due to drop early 2012. Hawaiian groovesters (and fellow tour mates) The Green open the show along with Cas Haley.

Tuesday, November 29-Sunday, December 4 Nazareth College Arts Center, 4245 East Ave. $15-$55 | 389-2170, artscenter.naz.edu; garthfagandance.org [ PREVIEW ] BY CASEY CARLSEN

Garth Fagan is an uncontested great in the field of contemporary dance, a choreographer whose body of work will retain lasting impact in the world of dance. Throughout his life, Fagan has surrounded himself with greats from other artistic spheres; he counts the late painter Romare Bearden and jazz musician Wynton Marsalis as close personal friends.

His kinship with other such influential artists has fostered ongoing opportunities for creative and intellectual exchanges of ideas, as well as artistic collaboration.

In his latest work, “Madiba,” Fagan pays tribute to his personal icon, Nelson Mandela.

The piece, which highlights Garth Fagan Dance’s home concert season in Rochester, running November 29 through December 4, is inspired by the life and work of the South African leader. The title refers to Mandela’s clan name and is a term of endearment used by those who know him best, according to Fagan.

“What I found interesting is the man, the human being who came out of prison empty of malice and retribution. What interested me was painting an image of this world-class 18 City november 23-29, 2011

humanitarian who suffered and overcame it, and went on to heal his country and, by extension, the world,” Fagan recently told City, speaking from his Park Avenue-area home.

Fagan had just flown in from Washington, D.C., where the evening before he had received yet another award to add to his impressive and extensive list: the Marcus Garvey Award for Lifetime Achievement awarded by The Institute of Caribbean Studies. Fagan is originally from Jamaica and still has the melodic lilt in his voice to prove it.

“It would be our greatest honor to perform the piece in South Africa for Madiba someday, ’mon,” Fagan says about presenting his new piece to Mandela himself. “Our greatest honor.”

It is Norwood Pennewell, a 32-year-veteran

of the 41-year-old company, who portrays the Madiba figure in the dance, a physically and emotionally grueling role that demands enacting the exacting requirements of Fagan’s choreography. Pennewell possesses the ability to pull it off brilliantly.

Look, too, for the playful, yet staggeringly powerful duet between dancers Vitolio Jeune and Tere Lyne Jones in the first section of “Madiba.” Jeune has only been dancing with the company for three years, but he’s already earned the hard-won respect of Fagan, who compares him to seasoned veteran Pennewell.

“They both dance the full music.

Whatever I give them they go for it until they get it right. They’re not chicken,” Fagan says.

“The great dancers go for the movement and understand what I’m trying to do. They’re

technically well trained, talented, vulnerable, and not afraid to chase the difficult and impossible. They don’t just keep doing the same old, same old. All my Bessie winners have had these qualities.”

Five company members have earned Bessies, also known as New York Performance Awards: Fagan, Pennewell, Steve Humphrey, Natalie Rogers, and Sharon Skepple. Fagan’s most recognizable award is undoubtedly the Tony he won for his choreography in the Broadway hit “The Lion King.”

The emotionally rich new work, set to the

music of South African jazz composer Abdullah Ibrahim, has already premiered in New York City and Miami. Reactions to the piece have been mixed, some reviewers familiar with Fagan’s repertoire suggesting that Fagan slighted the full expression of his own masterful choreographic voice by foraying into technical experimentation that may cloud the clarity of “Madiba.” The piece features live video footage of the action on stage as filmed by a video camera strapped onto the head of Pennewell. According to Fagan, the stream of images is representative of Mandela’s memories: memories of when he was young and free, memories of old close friends, memories of romantic relationships.

“Garth puts a lot of attention into detail, making the movement say all that needs to be said,” Pennewell says. “My job is to recreate the movement while keeping myself in the mind of the person that I’m portraying. I have to find a balance between passion and technique.”

“I just love that I get to do this solo in this stage of my career. I’m losing a little of my spring and pliancy, but I have the emotional maturity to put into something of this depth,” he says.

Again and again over his three decades with the company, Pennewell, 53, has transmitted Fagan’s choreographic vision onto the stage. “PJ,” as he is known, also serves as Fagan’s rehearsal director and personal assistant. Significantly, Fagan invited him to choreograph a piece for the company last year — the first time that someone other than Fagan had ever done so. It was also the first time that Pennewell had choreographed a piece by himself. This season he is presenting his second work, “Liminal Flux,” set to music by Miles Davis and Chancha Via Circuito.

Pennewell remembers first hearing the music live when Fagan took him and a few other dancers to Syracuse to hear Davis perform years ago. This is typical Fagan.

Museums, concerts, theater — Fagan makes sure that his dancers’ cultural awareness goes beyond the world of dance. When the troupe tours abroad, a day off for the company to sightsee and visit local cultural establishments is de rigueur in every contract.

Pennewell is as modest in his evaluation of

his early forays into choreography as he is lavish in his praise for his mentor’s work. Last year, the critics responded with measured approval to Pennewell’s piece “Hylozoic,” invariably focusing largely on how closely the piece did or did not resemble one of Fagan’s.

But Pennewell was unfazed.

“Historically, protégés’ work resembles their mentors until they find their own voices,” Pennewell says. “The Fagan technique is in my DNA. I’ll come up with my own inventions, but it will be in his technique. While I’m figuring out how to tap into my own aesthetic, it’s a luxury to be able to use Garth’s as a springboard.”

Fagan says this is an invaluable period for Pennewell as an artist, because he is both dancing and choreographing. “What he needs right now is the tension of both,” Fagan says. “I think he’s eventually going to be performing less and choreographing more, but he can learn a lot from doing them simultaneously.”

The Rochester run of performances will also feature revivals of “Until, By & If ” and “In Memoriam,” as well as last year’s “Thanks 40.” Students from the Garth Fagan School of Dance will also be performing “Cuwinicu,” choreographed

by Garth Fagan Dance Artistic/ Administrative Liaison Bill Ferguson, at both matinee performances.

FILM | “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory”

Everlasting gobstoppers. Scrumpdiddlyumptious bars. Fizzy lifting drinks. Who doesn’t want to get their hands on some of these Wonka treats? Moreover, who wouldn’t want a chance to get the tour of a lifetime in Wonka’s chocolate factory? While that opportunity may be out of reach for most of us, the man who originally played Charlie Bucket is coming to town to share his story of just what it was like inside Willy Wonka’s wondrous factory. Peter Ostrum, who starred as Charlie in the 1971 film adaptation of the Roald Dahl book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” will visit the Dryden Theatre at the George Eastman House this weekend for a discussion and screening of the film. Forty years after the release of this family favorite, it still captivates audiences and candy lovers alike.

Ostrum’s visit and the film screening takes place Saturday, November 26, 7 p.m. at the Dryden Theatre (900 East Ave.). Tickets cost $6-$8. The film also screens Sunday, November 27, at 2 p.m. For more information visit dryden. eastmanhouse.org. — BY ERIC LACLAIR

the “secondary princesses,” her Sahara-dry delivery giving some much-needed zing to the female sidekicks in the rare male-oriented animated Disney films. (That said, a nitpick: two of the three characters she interprets are not princesses, nor are their male counterparts royalty.)

The cast of Downstairs Cabaret Theatre’s “Disenchanted: Bitches of the Kingdom.” PHOTO COURTESY CAMPBELL PHOTOS

Royal pains “Disenchanted: Bitches of the Kingdom” Ongoing Downstairs Cabaret Theatre Center, 540 E. Main St. $29-$36 | 325-4370 downstairscabaret.com [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK

Fairy tales are currently a hot pop-culture commodity. Between new TV shows like “Once Upon a Time” and “Grimm,” and not one but two adult-oriented Snow White films coming out next year, there’s apparently some kind of subconscious interest in mining these classic stories for new, modern meanings. Perhaps we’re all too jaded to think that anyone could really ever live “happily ever after.” Or we want to go back, at least mentally, to a simpler time. Or maybe we just like looking at princesses (paging Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge). Regardless, it’s a serendipitous time for Downstairs Cabaret to launch its entertaining new show, “Disenchanted: Bitches of the Kingdom,” which features more adult versions of those iconic animated heroines.

The concept behind “Disenchanted” is that the various princesses from the 22 City november 23-29, 2011

storybooks (and, later, films) are tired of living their boring, seemingly perfect lives and decide to hit the road to put on a revue.

Through song and dance they tell their individual stories, including post-modern takes on their unique situations. For instance, the Little Mermaid points out that she gave up literally her entire life for a guy she thought was cute. It’s a pretty stupid move when you put it that way.

Many of the jokes cover the expected — the casual sexism of the classic stories, lazy entitled husbands — and take numerous pot shots at the ridiculous Disneyfication of the characters. (My favorite example is Belle, the heroine from “Beauty and the Beast,” who eventually went nuts after years of incessant chattering by magical talking household items.) It should be noted that this show is not for family audiences. While hardly raunchy, there is quite a bit of sex talk, several jokes about removing someone’s manhood, and an entire jaunty number devoted to huge breasts.

The best moments of the show are the surprising interpretations of seemingly familiar characters. “Disenchanted’s” take on Rapunzel (played with Teutonic bombast

by Kate Kilpatrick) left me blindsided and delighted, and the show’s best-running gag went to smoky-voiced Leeann Orasin as

The show’s all-female cast is filled with talented singers and actors. Toni Carrington’s Snow White — the original animated princess, as she repeatedly reminds the audience — acts as a saucy queen bee, bossing around the other princesses and clearly enjoying the limelight and all its perks. Carrington has great stage presence, but some of her best moments are the tiny wordless exchanges she shares with several of the other girls. Two particular instances, one with Rapunzel and her sausage, one with Mulan, were funnier than some of the play’s actual jokes.

Benton Sheely’s Cinderella is Snow’s second banana, supremely perky and maybe a little dim, and desperately in need of a sandwich. The last of the “main” princesses, Cassie Hohn as Sleeping Beauty, is bold and brassy, and unfortunately underutilized. I believe every other princess in the show got their own song, while Hohn — who clearly has the vocal chops along with her comedic skills — unfortunately sings only as part of group numbers.

Among the other characters, Rochester native Kara Minute gets one of the better songs in the show as Mulan, explaining why she’s the only one of the group to not get the guy at the end of her story. I was initially left cold by Jessica Swersey’s performance as Little Mermaid until it became clear that her defining character trait is that she’s socially awkward — makes sense, given her backstory — and then it all clicked. Jenna Lee Barber way overplays in her solo song as Belle, but works well in a supporting role for the rest of the show. And while I totally understand the narrative reason for leaving Nakiya Peterkin’s Frog Princess for last, that’s a shame. She’s such a delight once her song kicks into high gear that I would have liked to have seen more of her in the show.

Most of my criticisms are minor. The songs on the whole go on a touch too long — the opening number practically has a whole extra chorus. Some of the larger group numbers are slightly unbalanced. Some of the singers are naturally stronger than others, and a few of the voices do not gel in a crowd. There are literally no sets, and some of the costumes looked as though they were hastily constructed. But on the whole, the show is silly, girly fun, and at the risk of bringing up a certain prince, charming in its own way.

According to the Noes, ‘tis the season to explore the conception and birth not of a godly babe, but of Santa Claus, who was fathered by the wicked gnome named Economicus. This year’s pageant is offered in two showings, on Friday, November 25, and Saturday, November 26, at 8 p.m. at MuCCC (142 Atlantic Ave.) The variety show tells of the epic battle between greed and generosity, and includes yuletide fire stunts by the Roc City Circus, a special Black Friday honorarium of Economicus, the Ho Ho Horchestra, Left of Center Stage burlesque acts, Santanalia carols, and plenty of surprises and holiday cheer, all emceed by Maurice and Nikola “Tedsla.” Admission is a suggested donation of $10.

THEATER | “Billy Elliot”

Many people know the tale of young British dancer Billy Elliot from the hit 2000 film of the same name. Now, “Billy Elliot the Musical” will take the story to the stage at the Auditorium Theatre (885 E. Main St.) for a two-week stand. Telling the story of Billy, an 11-year-old boy in working-class British mining town who ditches boxing classes in favor of ballet class, the musical has been performed worldwide and received a strong Broadway reception, including the 2009 Tony Award for Best Musical. Featuring a cast of 45 and a musical score written by Elton John, this inspirational musical is a crowd-pleaser.

“Billy Elliot the Musical” opens Tuesday, November 29, at 7:30 p.m., and will run through Sunday, December 11. Tickets cost $37.50-$69.50. For more information and a full schedule of performances, visit rbtl.org. — BY ERIC LACLAIR

The ultimate plastic surgery [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“The Skin I Live In” (R), directed by Pedro Almodóvar Now playing

Whatever the quality of the work, in just about all of his films Pedro Almodóvar rarely neglects an opportunity to explore, often comically, some unusual sexual territory. The offbeat characters, the quirky nude scenes, and the bondage in “Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!” for example, suggest some of his particular cinematic interests. In “Talk to Her,” he included a remarkable moment, a movie within the movie, which for the first time fulfilled the

previously unspoken logic of the 1957 sciencefiction classic, “The Incredible Shrinking Man.” Though darker, sadder, and more complex than many of his previous films, his latest, “The Skin I Live In,” demonstrates his continuing fascination with bizarre sexual situations. It begins with a lecture by a distinguished plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert Ledgard (Antonio Banderas), outlining his work on reconstructing faces, an operation that he says he finds a most moving experience. When he confesses to an illegal process, involving some combination of animal and human genes and skin, he rather casually abandons his work and returns to his great project, essentially the creation of a new person.

That project proceeds through a thick and complicated cloud of deception and obfuscation, as the plot moves back and forth through various times in the scientist’s life, with enough backstory to fill a few more movies. He works obsessively on a lithe and lovely female patient, Vera (Elena Anaya), whom he keeps imprisoned in his magnificent house, shaping her

features to resemble his dead wife. A series of allusions to incidents in the past, some rather clumsy exposition, and several flashbacks finally clarify the confusion, creating an even weirder story beneath the surface action.

The violent plot, which includes two rapes, two suicides, and three murders, grows out of Ledgard’s wife’s infidelity years earlier. Her suicide results from her realization of the extent of her disfigurement from burns suffered in an automobile accident with her lover; her daughter, unbalanced by her mother’s death, herself later commits suicide when a drug-addled young man, Vicente (Jan Comet), rapes her at a wedding party.

In the plot that takes place in present time and dominates this very crowded movie, Ledgard embarks on a terrible course of revenge for his daughter’s rape and suicide. He kidnaps Vicente and, employing all his skill, proceeds on the long and arduous process of turning him into a woman. Over a long period of time, he conducts various procedures, including a vaginaplasty, some sort of body reshaping, skin replacement, and presumably the administering of the required hormones, making Vicente into Vera, the beautiful woman imprisoned in his house.

Even more shocking, perhaps because Ledgard makes his creation in the image of his dead wife, the script introduces another disturbing element — the doctor apparently falls in love with his patient. Some shocking moments of brutality interrupt the course of that peculiar

Pulling the strings [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“Melancholia” (R), written and directed by Lars von Trier Now playing

“Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey” (NR), directed by Constance Marks Screen Friday and Sunday at the Dryden

relationship, leading to some graphic discussion of the manner in which the would-be lovers achieve consummation. Continuing its deception of the audience, the movie changes direction once again through yet more violence before settling into a troubling sentimentality.

The picture demonstrates some of the difference between American and Spanish filmmaking, or at least Almodóvar’s filmmaking.

In this country “The Skin I Live In” would be a relatively straightforward horror flick, with Dr. Ledgard the usual mad scientist slicing and dicing in the usual Hollywood laboratory. Almodóvar, however, concocts a strange and most unsettling story of revenge, love, and heartbreak, with an entirely different interpretation of the sexuality that forms the essence of horror film.

The director’s familiar visual style imbues “The Skin I Live In” with his usual brilliant color, making every scene, even every shot, beautifully lit and sharply etched, enriching all the objects and all the backgrounds with a remarkably attractive radiance.

He shoots the several laboratory procedures, the various preparations for surgeries, the careful selection and laying out of instruments with an uncanny meticulousness, creating a cold, sterile, scientific, and most important, plausible version of a most uncommon kind of horror. In a sense, Almodóvar’s movie reinterprets the whole history of mad-scientist horror, from “Frankenstein” to “The Abominable Dr. Phibes,” minus the melodrama, the campiness, and Vincent Price.

The stunning drama “Melancholia” begins at the end: the end of the film, quite possibly the end of the world. Danish auteur Lars von Trier mesmerizes us at the outset with image after lushly apocalyptic image, and though we’re not quite sure what we’re looking at, it clearly doesn’t bode well for anyone. Except the audience, that is; “Melancholia” is von Trier’s most disciplined work, accessible even, and maybe the first of his movies that doesn’t feel compelled to cram its artsy, provocative aspirations down our throats. The film actually concerns something other than the filmmaker himself, though the themes — of depression, of helplessness, of hope — are universally personal. But that’s not to say that von Trier has lost his uncompromising edge; his longstanding compulsions to instigate and challenge are thankfully undimmed.

Kirsten Dunst in “Melancholia.” PHOTO

COURTESY MAGNOLIA PICTURES

“Melancholia” is told through the tale of two very different sisters, each of whom commands her own namesake chapter.

The first is a borderline comedy from the perspective of Kirsten Dunst’s newly married Justine that takes place at her opulent wedding reception, where her initial joy quickly wears off. Her no-nonsense sister Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg) tries to keep the festivities moving, but the bride has descended into a bleak ennui, her quiet cries for help ignored by her selfish rascal of a father (John Hurt) and cruelly cynical mother (the ever-gorgeous Charlotte Rampling).

The second chapter unfolds some time after the reception as Claire welcomes her little sister into her home following what seems to be a break with reality. Justine is nearly catatonic, unable to cope with most things but surprisingly lucid about others.

It’s during the heavy “Claire” that the sisters’ roles subtly shift; where Claire was once the self-appointed caretaker, Justine must now provide the emotional tether for her older sister as Claire tries to process her mounting fears over Melancholia, a rogue planet that might be on a collision course with Earth. Claire’s chilly husband (welcome back to the movies, Kiefer Sutherland!) seems optimistic about Melancholia’s trajectory, while Justine is blunt: “The earth is evil. We don’t need to grieve for it.” Justine may also secretly welcome the ultimate physical manifestation of her apathy toward humanity, as demonstrated by an arresting shot of her basking naked in Melancholia’s fittingly blue glow. And despite the opening imagery, which makes sense as the final act goes down, von Trier keeps us guessing about whether he’ll give us the ending we want or the ending we need.

Much ink has been spilled over von Trier’s penchant for putting his leading ladies through the psychological wringer (see “Antichrist,” “Dancer in the Dark,” or my favorite film, “Breaking the Waves”), but after watching Dunst give the most accomplished performance of her career

thus far, I realized he’s shouldering too much blame. Acting, as far as I know, is a voluntary pastime; who wouldn’t want to push their boundaries? Dunst is nicely matched by Gainsbourg, who may have the more demanding part as the mother prematurely mourning her son’s death.

But von Trier, as always, is the star; he’s conspicuously aided here by Wagner’s prelude to “Tristan and Isolde” as well as skilled cinematographer Manuel Alberto Claro, with whom he creates some jaw-dropping frames of film, at once exquisite and scary.

One day in 1985, at work on the most

famous fake street in the world, the late Muppeteer Richard Hunt tossed a furry red monster onto his co-worker’s lap, frustrated that he couldn’t find an angle.

Kevin Clash, however, had a bit more luck. “I knew that Elmo should represent love,” Clash says in the lovely, inspiring documentary “Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey,” which helps us get to know the man who brought one of the most famous Muppets to life. We hear from his proud parents, who unconditionally supported their puppet-obsessed son even when the other kids taunted him for playing with dolls. And even though Clash caught some professional breaks early on, he was determined to someday work with Muppet mastermind Jim Henson.

“Being Elmo” features copious footage of the hard-working young man as he realized his dream, which, unbeknownst to him, would place difficult demands on both his time and family as Elmo’s popularity exploded. Director Constance Marks speaks to Clash’s admiring peers, but the sweetest bytes come from the humble Clash, who still sounds shocked over his good fortune. (And try not getting choked up as Elmo cuddles with kids.) No, “Being Elmo” isn’t particularly well constructed, but who cares? Its charming subject and his generous spirit are infectious.

A Home for the Holidays

115 Dorchester Road With the holidays right around the corner, visions of grand parties for friends and family dance through our heads. Imagine being a gracious and well-prepared host, gliding through a sea of smiling faces and general merriment in a home designed and built to foster and support the art of entertaining on a grand scale. The house at 115 Dorchester is perfectly suited for holiday entertaining as well as everyday living.

This 1927 red brick Colonial Revival stands out on its mature, corner lot with surrounding iron fence, fitting in naturally amongst the other stately homes in the Browncroft neighborhood.

A highly desirable area in Rochester, Browncroft has successfully preserved its character and value over the years, and was recently the featured attraction on The Landmark Society’s 2011 House and Garden Tour.

Inside the house, the expansive foyer flows nicely into the formal dining room on the left and the living room to the right. The original hardwood floors and molding are intact throughout the first floor. Matching crystal chandeliers and wall sconces, which appear to be original to the house, help to unify these rooms. This house has the layout and conveniences to make you a master entertainer.

The backlit, built-in hutch in the dining room would proudly display festive chinaware.

Guests can congregate near the wood-burning fireplace in the wide-open living room, or relax in the enclosed porch which has an inviting gas

fireplace. Food preparation can be done out of sight in the large kitchen at the rear of the house.

A powder room is conveniently located on the first floor for the use of family and guests alike.

When the holiday celebrations are over, this 3,800+ square foot home offers plenty of space and amenities for everyday living. The kitchen boasts modern appliances, wooden cabinets, and new flooring. There is plenty of space to expand storage or add additional cabinets. A converted porch now serves as a breakfast area, offering a cozy space to relax and enjoy the sunshine.

The second floor contains two sizable bedrooms, a massive master suite, and a master bath with a shower and whirlpool tub.

The master suite has an attached walk-in closet that can accommodate all the accumulated clutter of life. There is an additional bedroom suite on the third floor, which includes a second full bath. This home was designed to be shared and enjoyed with family and friends, and will make every day feel like a holiday.

115 Dorchester Road is listed at $279,900.

To arrange a tour contact Amy Petrone at 585-218-6850. For more information and photographs, visit rochestercityliving.com/ property/R164515.
