MCC’s next chapter Since Anne Kress took the helm of Monroe Community College — she’s the institution’s fifth president — she has developed a solid understanding of the vital role MCC plays in higher education and the Rochester region’s economy.

Although MCC has long offered low- to middleincome students an important pathway to higher education, the institution is now entering a new phase in its development. While it will continue to offer students the opportunity to transfer to a traditional

four-year institution, MCC is retraining a growing number of adult students for second careers. And it is helping meet the changing needs of the regional workforce.

After years of rapid growth, MCC’s student population may be leveling off. Now, the college faces some serious challenges, says Kress, including state cuts to education spending, students who are not college ready, integrating the cultures of multiple campuses, and the creation of a new downtown campus.

GUEST COMMENTARY | BY OVE OVERMYER

A fairer way to fix the budget The latest attack on public-sector employees has been vicious and unrelenting. In New York, Governor Cuomo has joined the chorus, asking for a wage freeze for all state public employees. The immediate budget savings from any freeze would be relatively small — between $200 million and $400 million against a projected deficit in excess of $9 billion.

What is so perverse about this trend is just how vastly it misunderstands what went wrong in the first place. And what makes this go-around extraordinary is that national political leaders from both major parties have been pushing that same agenda.

Before we go down this path, a quick examination of New York’s finances suggests a very different and far fairer way to fix our troubled budgets.

New York has three major kinds of taxes: the personal income tax, which hits nearly everyone’s earnings; the sales and excise taxes, which hit everyone’s expenditures; and the corporate and business profits tax.

Just like other states, Governor Cuomo is surveying insufficient revenues to cover expenditures. His major response has been to target public employees and their unions as if their pay, benefits, and especially pensions were chief causes of the problem.

One would think a genuinely democratic governor would begin work on the state budget by correcting unfairly low levels of taxation of billion dollar corporations, reducing regressive taxes, and increasing the progressivity of personal income taxes.

According to economy expert Richard D. Wolff, in 2010 personal income taxes raised $34.8 billion; sales and excise taxes raised $12.2 billion; and corporate and business profits taxes raised $6.6 billion.

Not only do businesses pay a very small portion of the state’s total tax take, but business taxes rose less than the other two kinds over the last decade. From 2000 to 2010, personal income taxes rose 50 percent, sales and excise taxes rose 24 percent, and corporate and business taxes rose the least, 20 percent.

If taxes on corporations and businesses were raised by 50 percent over what they yielded in 2000 — equaling what happened to New York’s personal income taxes — New York State’s budget would get much healthier. Such a business tax would generate more new revenue for New York than would be saved by the new governor’s proposed wage freezes and other public employee cutbacks.

Not The Same Old Rochester Selection

Why aren’t we creating more brackets for the very highest income earners, who are most able to pay?”

And why aren’t we creating more brackets for the very highest income earners, who are most able to pay? The wealthy in New York pay far less taxes than the middle class, based on percentages. For example, why not 8 or 9 percent for those earning over $1 million annually and perhaps 15 percent for those earning over $2 million? Such additional brackets would impact only the top 1 or 2 percent of New Yorkers.

Cuomo has predictably chosen not to raise taxes on an infinitesimal few whose wealth insulates them from the worst effects of the economic crisis. These are the same New Yorkers who also benefited most when the “recovery spending” was distributed dating back to 2007.

Neither economic efficiency nor the people’s welfare motivates the current attack on New York’s public workers. So, please: enough already of the spin and insults about how public-sector workers are responsible for our budget woes.

Government salaries and public-employee pensions are not killing state and local government budgets; politicians, corporate lobbyists, and the big donors who put these bureaucrats into public office are.

The wealth our working families create that has been moving from Main Street to Wall Street is why America is being torn apart at the seams. Let’s put the fix and the blame squarely on the people who continue to rig the system in their favor— unscrupulous lawmakers and their unregulated big corporate donors who have become the patriots of profit at the expense of working families.

Tucson tragedy not caused by ‘caustic climate’

Re “Words Matter: Tucson, Violence, and the Nation’s Caustic Climate” (Urban Journal, January 19): I am almost speechless. But let’s start with this quote: “If the Tucson killer was mentally ill….”

The operative word here is “if.” Have I been transported to another planet? Since when does the indiscriminate, motiveless killing of six innocent people not automatically fall into the category of some form of extreme mental illness? We don’t need a psychiatrist or any other “expert” to tell us that irrational conduct of this type certainly is mental illness.

Horrific acts of this magnitude beg the question: But why? That’s reasonable, logical, and natural — except it misses the point.

People whose mental illness has progressed to this point are not thinking or acting in a rational or understandable manner.

Unfortunately, even in 21stcentury USofA, we still can’t get a grip on mental illness — from minor neurotic problems to major psychotic breaks. We do not understand it, we cannot deal with it, we at times can’t even fix it, even when we know it’s there. The wiring in that mysterious organ, the brain, just “blows a fuse.” “Short circuits.” And we are left with horror, incomprehension, and total disbelief.

Then the media step in to provide us with our “right to know.” Every person who ever talked to, met, or knew this sick soul is interviewed and investigated, and every aspect of his life is explored or “explained.”

(The perverse irony here is that this notoriety is exactly what many of these mentally disturbed people are seeking.)

And then you want to somehow tie this unspeakable tragedy into today’s “caustic climate” of nasty political rhetoric. Oh, pleeeese!

CHARLES PILATO, BRIGHTON

Lessons from ‘Diary of the Dead’

George Romero’s portrait of America as a country of intolerant cannibals is as relevant today as it was back in the late 60’s, when he made “Night of the Living Dead.” In his most recent installment, “Diary of the Dead,” he shows a world where media overexposure has agitated and angered a public beyond the point of rational discourse.

People scour cable and Internet channels to find views that confirm their existing prejudices, rather than views that challenge prejudice and promote compromise. Our national motto used to be “E pluribus unum.” Now it is “E pluribus pluribus.” (My Latin conjugation might not be correct, but you get the idea.)

America itself has become moribund. It is the sick man of the 21st century. If our country does kick the bucket and keel over, it will not — like a zombie in a Romero movie — rise again, but die and stay dead.

So the next time you are in a political debate — the next time you or your favorite media intellectual are ready to take a bite out of someone and exacerbate our inflamed and inflammatory political system — remember that the rest of the world laughs at us, and continues to laugh at this once proud nation that used to be a model of civil discourse and true democracy.

MARK C. JONES, ROCHESTER

Choosing the words

Mary Anna Towler’s column “Words Matter” (Urban Journal, January 19) prompted me to remember the Apostle Paul, who wrote more words than any other New Testament writer in his pastoral letters to the churches he founded.

Paul could write clearly with gratitude for them, as well as with admonishment in the problems they faced. In one of them, I think he provides help in the use of words that matter: “Finally, beloved, whatever is true,

whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things” (Philippians 4:8).

Though his letters often are tough-minded, I think he followed his own advice in his thoughtful use of words. If pundits, politicians, and ordinary citizens would try to do the same today, it might help to change “the violence and the nation’s caustic climate.”

PAUL L. HAMMER, BRIGHTON

Average voters aren’t heard

Re “Words Matter” (Urban Journal, January 19): There was indeed a time when civil discourse happened between opposing political parties. It was a time before big money was needed to get elected, before political “strategists” advised their clients on the best way to “destroy” their opponents, and before the media was interested in a 5-minute sound bite or photo shot. It was a time when reporters were really journalists and not “news readers.”

The increase in “ugly rhetoric” that RIT Professor Klofas cited could also be caused by average citizens feeling they aren’t being listened to until their vote is needed by our political “elite.”

NPR’s assumption that people who commit violence are trying to call attention to themselves is probably right. Ever try to get information on why an elected official voted in a particular way? Or how about why we can’t audit the Federal Reserve or the gold reserves at Ft. Knox?

I’m still waiting to hear why my representative didn’t support censure of one her colleagues who was involved in tax issues that you or I would have been imprisoned for. That was back in December 2010.

Of course, none of this excuses the horrific crime of the shooter or totally explains his actions, but it does add another dimension.

One that our elected aristocracy needs to own up to.

It is time they look themselves in the mirror and realize that their words and actions do matter to the perception of the average citizen.

Carballada suit in court Feb. 2

A lawsuit questioning Carlos Carballada’s legitimacy as acting mayor should be heard by a judge today (Wednesday). The suit was filed in State Supreme Court by Rochester resident Louis Amico and Jim McTiernan, president of the city’s firefighters union. In a press release, Carballada said that he and City Council are confident that proper procedure has been followed.

Cuomo’s budget cuts

Governor Andrew Cuomo has proposed a 20112012 budget that reduces school aid by $1.5 billion and Medicaid spending by $982 million. Cuomo also wants to reduce the number of state agencies, authorities, and commissions by 20 percent over an indefinite period of time, and to consolidate 11 state

agencies into four. Cuomo says he will work with the unions to find savings, but if agreement cannot be reached, up to 9,800 layoffs would be necessary “as a last resort.”

Rochester parents may never again hear their children say those wellworn words, “I don’t have any homework tonight.” Now they can check for themselves.

This month the Rochester school district will begin offering parents a powerful new tool free of charge, except for the cost of the internet.

Called Parent-CONNECT, the webbased program will allow parents to go directly into their children’s electronic folder and review report cards, check attendance, and even see daily assignments.

Parents will be able to communicate with teachers and follow their children’s academic progress on a daily basis.

One of the best features of the program is its mobility, says Annemarie Lehner, an information management and technology specialist with the district.

“You don’t even need a PC,” she says. “Parents can access their child’s data through a cell phone, an iPad,

virtually anything that connects to the internet.”

Leverett Copeland has four children in district schools, and PowerCONNECT, he says, will make it easier for him to communicate with all of his children’s teachers at one time from anywhere.

All parents have to do is register with the district by calling 2628568 or email parentconnect@ rcsdk12.org. Parents will receive an identification code to access their children’s information. And only the child’s teachers and the school principal will have access to that child’s information.

Parents will not be able to access another child’s folder, and the information is for viewing only. It can’t be edited by anyone except the teacher, so privacy and integrity of the content is safeguarded.

The program is available to parents of students in grades K-12.

Want to be mayor? Any registered Democrat can address the convention this Saturday: you don’t have to be one of the “known” candidates. “We’ve had a number of phone calls from people who want to run and have asked for the process,” says Adam Bello, executive director of the county Democratic Committee. “I don’t know who will actually show up.”

POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE

Super Saturday Democrats will pick their mayoral candidate this Saturday, but that probably won’t end the fighting. Former Mayor Bill Johnson has said that he’s seeking third-party endorsements to continue on in the race, even if he loses out at the convention.

The convention will convene at 10 a.m. at the Radisson on East Main Street. Joe Morelle, leader of the Monroe County Democratic Committee, will make opening remarks and then turn the meeting over to Tom Ferrarese, county Democratic elections commissioner.

Candidates, called in random order, will be given 10 minutes to address the convention.

Any registered Democrat can speak: you don’t have to be one of the “known” candidates.

“We’ve had a number of phone calls over the last couple of weeks from people who want to run and have asked for the process and how to do it,” says Adam Bello, executive director of the county Democratic Committee. “I don’t know who will actually show up.”

After all the candidates have spoken, the Legislative District committees will break up into their individual caucuses. The caucuses, Bello says, are open only to committee members, candidates, and candidates’ representatives. Committee leaders will announce results after the caucuses conclude.

If no candidate has a majority after the first ballot, Bello says, leaders will get another

opportunity to confer with their committee members. This would go on and on until a candidate has won a majority.

“Given that Tom Richards and Bill Johnson are the two candidates who’ve emerged so far, I don’t know it would go on to a second ballot,” Bello says. “But we’ll see.”

In related news: the Green Party of Monroe County has chosen Rochester businessman Alex White as its candidate for mayor. White is owner of Boldo’s Armory, a game store on Monroe Avenue.

White says his campaign will focus on jobs, crime, education, energy, and quality of life. He says he supports lowering energy costs through the creation of a municipal electric company, and he says the city should rehabilitate more houses to provide affordable housing.

Which is what Richards did.

FEBRUARY 2-8, 2011

The old buildings have occupied a place in the back of my brain for most of my life.

Chili Avenue to West Main was our way into the city to visit family and for the holiday trek to Midtown every year. Along the way, right after the railroad underpass that was my mental demarcation line from Gates to the city, was — and still is — a large, abandoned industrial complex clearly out of sync with the rest of the neighborhood.

No signs are easily visible from the road to tease the property’s history, and information about the site is not easy to find. If you stop your car and take a closer look, you can barely make out faded lettering at the top of one of the buildings: “Schaefer Brothers Masons & Builders.” (Don’t quote me, though. It’s difficult to read.)

The large, utilitarian-looking concrete building on the site has also recently caught the eye of Cynthia Howk, architectural research coordinator for the Landmark Society. She took photos of the buildings and used them in a presentation to the 19th Ward Community Association.

“They wanted a general overview of the architecture of the area over the last century or so,” Howk says. “What that meant to me was not just looking at a nice house or a pretty church. I wanted to give them the broadest introduction to all types of historically relevant buildings in their community. And that includes industrial sites, factory sites, bridges: sites that may not immediately come to mind.”

DeWain Feller, president of the 19th Ward Community Association, has been trying to research the property. It’s an eyesore, he says, and leaves a poor impression on people entering the 19th Ward. He says he’d like to see the buildings torn down.

But Howk says there’s more to historic preservation than a building’s appearance.

“We’re not always looking to see if Martha Stewart just visited and redecorated the exterior to make it look pretty-pretty,” she says.

The six-acre property is on the south side

of the road in the area around 1025 Chili Avenue. Once, Howk says, it was the Schaefer Brothers Builders Supply Company. The main office was in the Powers Building downtown, and the factory was on Chili Avenue.

The site probably dates from the 1920’s, Howk says. And that fits with what is known about Rochester’s history from that time. Many people, Howk says, call 1900 to 1930 Rochester’s golden era — a time of unprecedented growth and innovation.

So a company that manufactured building supplies, including concrete, would probably have been busy.

“There are a lot of houses being built, and new factories, and new office buildings,” Howk says. “And so if you were manufacturing concrete blocks, which were used for a lot of foundations, you were probably doing a rip-roaring business.”

The Chili Avenue site would have been a prime piece of real estate for the company, she says, because it was located right next to a rail line and the new Barge Canal — ideal for shipping.

“They’re at the intersection of three major transportation systems,” Howk says.

“There is the newly opened Barge Canal, the Pennsylvania Railroad spur, and the BuffaloRochester-Pittsburgh Railroad. This is an absolutely phenomenal site to have.”

The manufacture of building materials might have been a dirty, grimy business, Howk says, so it makes sense that the factory was located away from a population center. The site was actually part of a large west-side industrial corridor called Lincoln Park, which included Ritter Dental and

Taylor Instruments — “world-class industries,” Howk notes.

The fact that Ritter, Taylor, and others are remembered but Schaefer is not may mean, Howk says, that Schaefer was a local or regional supplier. Ritter and Taylor products went all over the world.

Feller, of the 19th Ward Association, says he’s a strong proponent of historical

preservation. But unless the Chili Avenue buildings have major historical significance, he says he’d rather see them torn down and the site redeveloped.

“It’s been deteriorating for years and years,” he says. “It just doesn’t give a good first impression of the 19th Ward.”

A building materials company did have a proposal several years ago for the site, Feller says, and he was told that the buildings would be demolished. But that proposal never materialized.

Feller says that he intends to investigate the site. If for whatever reason the buildings can’t be demolished, he says, the owners should at least be made to maintain them.

“We just can’t leave it the way it is,” he says. “We have to do something to make it more presentable. It’s just this deteriorating giant mass.”

But Howk says it’s important to look at a site in a broad context. It may not be the most attractive property around, but what architectural and historical significance does it have? What role did it play in the story of the city?

“That’s what most any local resident or citizen is not always aware of,” she says.

“They look at any building or site and say, ‘Oh, it’s so run down. Let’s get rid of it.’

But there’s never the discussion beyond the cosmetics of the situation.”

The site does not have any official historic designation: it is classified as warehouse space. And Howk says structural and environmental issues would have to be investigated before redevelopment could be seriously considered.

“It is a very distinct early 20th century industrial complex,” she says. “It is certainly historically significant and as a piece of industrial architecture, it’s significant. The buildings in any community tell the story of the community: tell the wide breadth of its development and history. It is not simply the large, elaborately designed homes of the captains of industry.”

Urban explorers have been inside the old Schaefer Brothers cement factory on Chili Avenue and posted the photos on Flickr.

MCC’s next chapter Challenges and opportunities for one of the region’s most important centers of education Except for the heaping bowl of candy on her conference table, Anne Kress’s office is small and unassuming. Yet she’s the president of one of the Rochester region’s most important institutions.

In the relatively short time that Kress has been at the helm at Monroe Community College, she has developed a solid understanding of MCC and its history. And she’s probably one of the few college leaders who can make an intriguing analogy between Disney World’s Pirates of the Caribbean theme ride and community colleges like MCC. Despite some bends and curves with scary moments, she says, it’s all about keeping students on track. And this may be challenging, she says, as MCC enters a new phase in its development.

Though MCC may not have the University of Rochester’s endowment muscle or RIT’s hightechnology prowess, it is unmistakably one of the region’s most vital doorways to higher education, Kress says. About 20,000 students attend MCC each semester, and the school plays an integral role in the local economy.

The rapid growth MCC experienced over the last 10 years is leveling off, Kress says. And though the college has formidable strengths, it is facing difficulties, too. A shrinking state budget, students who are not ready for college, integration of the cultures of multiple campuses, and the creation a new downtown campus are serious concerns, she says.

But the opportunities MCC offers outweigh those concerns, she says. This is the age of the community college, according to most reports about higher education. And MCC is one of the most respected in the SUNY system.

Looking out five to 10 years, Kress says, MCC will remain an exceptional path to higher education for thousands of students.

The MCC brand, she says, was built on “transferability.” Students can spend two years at MCC and then transfer to a fouryear college, or take their two-year degree or technical certification and enter the work force. According to a survey of the college’s 2009 graduates, 96 percent of the 1,718 students who responded are continuing their education at a four-year school or are employed. And the majority of the employed remain in the Rochester region.

“With the affordability that MCC offers, transferability to another institution makes a lot of sense,” Kress says. A recent study showed that lower-income families tend to overestimate the cost of higher education, she says, which intimidates them.

“I think that’s because they see figures in the newspapers that say things like college is costing $45,000 to $50,000 a year,” she says.

But if a student’s first two years cost $3,000 each, it dramatically reduces the cost of a fouryear degree. And it makes a college degree possible for thousands of students, Kress says.

want to try starting my own business.’ And they want to build entrepreneurial skills.”

MCC grew rapidly, particularly during the

While Kress doesn’t see a change in MCC’s

traditional role of providing students access to a college education, she says she does see the college playing an expanded role in work force and economic development. State and local government and business leaders have recently turned to the SUNY system for help in revitalizing New York’s ailing economy.

“SUNY has launched its Power of SUNY strategic plan that really seeks to formally situate our higher education network as the economic engine in the state,” Kress says.

Each SUNY institution, Kress says, has a specific role to play. In the field of computers and high technology, for example, Stony Brook, Albany, and Buffalo are driving the research, patent, and intellectual property work.

“MCC is in the work-force development business,” Kress says. “We train the techs who commercialize the products that come out of those institutions. If you want to start up a small business in this area based on a patent you’ve developed, you’re probably going to need to hire technicians, many of whom graduate from MCC.” These are not low-skilled jobs where a high-school diploma will suffice. This point was made clear to Kress after touring many of the area’s optics companies, she says.

“They have difficulty attracting people, because we’re talking about a higher level of preparedness,” she says. “Their problem has been the difficulty in attracting students into the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) pipeline. If you’re good in math, you can write your own ticket in this new economy.

Preparing a quality workforce for local businesses is one of MCC’s primary objectives, says Anne Kress, the college’s president. FILE PHOTO

Whether it’s life sciences, engineering, or optics: that’s where the jobs are.”

And some of the jobs are in fields that didn’t exist 15 years ago, Kress says. The merging of health care and technology is producing numerous new jobs in patient care and data management, she says.

Another of MCC’s emerging roles is training and retraining the older work force.

“What we’re seeing are more and more students who are returning adults,” Kress says.

“They’re coming back to upgrade skills or learn a new field. They will become an even greater part of our student population.”

Some of these adults are already working in the field, but they don’t have a diploma or technical certification. And they need them to remain competitive in the work force. Other adults have lost their jobs and are looking for a new career in health care, for example.

“Then some people are recognizing, and this is an interesting phenomenon, that after several sea changes in their careers, they’ve decided they want to have more control of their own destinies,” Kress says. “They’re saying, ‘If this is going to happen to me, I

last decade. But it has become increasingly difficult for it to accept more students.

“There is simply no more room,” says Kress.

The buildings on the Brighton Campus, for example, are built out to capacity. Building 9 on the Brighton campus is about to open after renovations that will add nine more classrooms inside the same building.

But MCC’s growth may be peaking anyway, Kress says. High-school populations in the Upstate New York region have begun to reflect the general population, which has declined.

“We think we’ve had that bubble already with the greatest number of people coming through high school,” Kress says. “We’re not going to get much bigger.”

While Brighton is the largest of MCC’s campuses, with more than 15,000 students per semester, Kress is committed to its downtown programs. MCC can’t be a viable community college, she says, without a downtown campus.

The campuses are very different, with different specialties and different student populations.

For example, nursing is one of the most popular programs offered at the Brighton campus, as are other types of health-care training. The renovations to Building 9, for instance, included new radiological tech labs.

Criminal justice and human services, such as addiction counseling, are among the main programs offered at the Damon campus.

The core curriculum classes needed for transfers to a four-year college — English and history, for example — can be taken at both campuses.

The need for more programs related to health care has grown at both Brighton and Damon.

“Even though we’ve increased the capacity of our nursing program over the last five years, we still see an incredible demand we can’t meet right now,” Kress says. But resources are limited, which is why Kress made integrating the cultures of the Brighton and Damon campuses a priority.

After years of rapid growth, MCC’s enrollment may be leveling off. PHOTOs BY MATT DETURCK

Brighton is a more traditional college campus and students tend to fall in the 18 to 26 age group, Kress says.

The student population at the Damon City Campus has grown much faster than at the Brighton Campus.

“We’re at about 3,200 students there,” she says. And Damon tends to attract more adult students and more women, and the student population is largely minority. Half of Damon’s students also take classes at the Brighton campus.

“We want to make sure that these two groups interact,” Kress says. “We’ve done some basic things like getting the student governments to work collaboratively. But one of the more tangible things we’ve done is add the MCC shuttle.” The MCC shuttle service was implemented last fall, and transports students back and forth between the Damon and Brighton campuses. And it’s free to MCC students.

“We just crossed our fingers over this because we’ve never done anything like this, and we didn’t know what to expect,” Kress says. “Would the demand be there? What happens if the shuttle breaks down? Would it be on time? These are all the things we fretted about, but the shuttle has been a huge success.”

It was important, Kress says, to offer shuttle service free of charge.

“I was having a discussion at the Damon campus, and a woman stood up and said, ‘Here are the courses I need, and if they’re not offered at Damon, I can’t take them.”

Taking the bus from Damon to Brighton would cost the student about $24 a week, she told Kress.

“That was money she just didn’t have,” Kress says. “And I feel we have to be sensitive to this.

We’ve focused on enrollment for so long. But now we’re turning the boat a little bit. It’s not just about getting them in the door, but how do we help them stay on track to completion? How do we help them attain the goal that drew them to MCC in the first place?”

Kress has also been immersed in the search

for a new site for the Damon campus. When Kress was interviewing for the president’s job,

it was almost certain that MCC would be part of Renaissance Square. The project dissolved about the time she started, setting into motion a whole review of the campus’s needs and site selection. The site-selection committee has narrowed down a list of downtown locations, but Kress has been tight-lipped about it.

She is not enthusiastic about Damon’s current location in the old Sibley building on East Main Street, even though the site remains on the list. And she insists that there has been no interference or pressure from county officials, County Executive Maggie Brooks, or MCC’s Board of Trustees.

Kress had expected to have chosen a site by the end of 2010, but she will only say that the site reviews have taken longer than expected.

And even though the $72 million slated for the project is still available to MCC, the dollars are not stretching as far as originally planned.

When MCC was part of Renaissance Square, Kress says, there was potential for shared costs. Not only is MCC now solely responsible for the costs, but construction expenses have steadily increased since the project was first discussed.

As MCC works through its growing pains and

further assumes its role in the SUNY statewide plan as workforce developer, the college faces additional hurdles. And these problems are more difficult to resolve.

MCC does not have the deep endowment pockets of some private colleges; the college relies almost entirely on state and county funding. Governor Andrew Cuomo recently announced budget cuts that will include cuts to education spending. But it’s too early to know what impact that will have on MCC, though Kress says she’s worried.

MCC’s budget for 2009-2010 was about $117.5 million and its budget for 2010-2011 is about $124 million. Cuts in funding could potentially close the door to higher education for some of the low- to middle-income students the college has historically served. And Kress is especially concerned about raising tuition because, she says, it weakens the college’s image.

Cuts in state education funds certainly won’t help solve one of the college’s more insidious

problems: the growing number of students who are not college-ready. The number of students who graduate from high school yet enter college academically deficient in math, English, and writing is a serious problem for all colleges, Kress says, including MCC. “We can all talk about graduation rates until the cows come home, but if students graduate with diplomas that don’t leave them ready for college, that’s not a good thing,” she says.

Instead of benefiting from MCC’s low tuition, the student ends up paying for a semester or two of learning that should have been acquired free of charge in high school. And that’s extremely discouraging to some students.

“If you look at this historically, what we call transitional studies were originally designed for those adult learners who haven’t taken a math class in 10 years and needed a boot-camp refresher,” Kress says. “But what happened over time, unfortunately, is that students walk in the door and directly into developmental work, which doesn’t make any sense.”

The problem is not limited to students from city schools, Kress says. The problem of not being academically prepared for that first year of college cuts across social and economic boundaries, she says.

MCC, like many colleges, has several programs to help students make the transition.

And if students complete the programs, most do well, she says. But more investment in the elementary and secondary education levels are needed, she says. Getting the more than 700 school districts across the state to agree on a common core curriculum is imperative, she says, so remedial work isn’t required.

“I’ve been in many of these discussions, and it’s a complicated issue,” Kress says. “But we need to put our children’s needs at the center of this. What can we do to essentially work ourselves out of that business? That’s the question we need to be asking ourselves.”

I’ll maki love to you [ ROUND-UP ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“Sushi junkies,” my friend Sharon explained to me on our way to the old California Rollin’ on South Clinton, “are created by other sushi junkies so they’ll have someone to eat sushi with.” And sure enough, soon after she lured me into the mysterious world of jewel-cut seafood I began to jones for it, sweet-talking anyone in my orbit into going out for sushi with me. Years later, I’m happy to report that many of my one-time minions are out there creating fiends of their very own, thus allowing the (probably) ancient cycle to continue.

Unsurprisingly, not everyone takes to sushi.

Those skeeved out by chunks of raw fish ought to try maki rolls, which typically consist of seafood surrounded by vinegared rice and then wrapped in a sheet of dried seaweed called nori.

A meal unto itself, the maki’s potential riot of flavors and textures, in concert with wickedly creative presentations, can seduce even stubborn holdouts like my littlest sister, who was recently caught with a Philadelphia Roll (that’s smoked salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber).

You can score some tempting maki in this town, and what follows are a few suggestions for the sushi reluctant. But be careful: maki is the gateway sushi. If we missed your favorite maki rolls, post them on this article at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

I should first confess that I measure all sushi against the Plum House (686 Monroe Ave, 442-0778, plumhouserochester.com), easily my favorite Japanese restaurant in Rochester.

Over the last few years its maki selection has exploded beyond the typical offerings to showcase rolls without rice, and even rolls that forego the nori that turns so many people off, substituting a milder soybean paper. It’s always difficult to choose, but lately I’m quite partial to the Four Seasons roll ($9.50), which features raw slices of yellowtail, tuna, salmon, and red snapper draped over a yummy roll of scallops bathed in a spicy sauce made from Japanese mayo and a kicky seven-spice blend called shichimi togarashi.

An inviting spot that mingles the notall-that-differing concepts of sushi and tapas, Piranha (682 Park Ave, 360-2754, piranhasushibar.com) might be best known for its indulgent Surf and Turf Roll ($14.50), which takes a roll made of lobster, avocado, cream cheese, and chives and adorns it with --- wait for it --- juicy beef tenderloin. But recently I’ve fallen for the Leviathan Roll: eel, tempura shrimp, cucumber, mayo, and crunchy onion bits, as well as my beloved seaweed salad. Sure, I’m pulling those scrumptious brine-and-sesame-infused shreds out from between my teeth for the rest of the day, but it’s worth it.

You almost don’t notice Fujiya (2215 Empire Blvd, 671-8030, fujiyawebster.com) in the little strip of restaurants across from Loews Webster, but sushi aficionados should sniff it out. A quick shout-out to the plump, gingery Spicy Mussels ($5.95) before I implore you to try eel, which neither tastes nor chews like you think it will. Eel’s meaty sweetness raises the ubiquitous California Roll -- that’s avocado, cucumber, and imitation crab --- to new heights in the toothsome Dancing Dragon ($10.95). Or maybe you’d prefer your California Roll deepfried and smothered in a spicy crab salad. They call that a Fire California ($7.95).

Back in the mid-90’s, California Rollin’ (inside Village Gate, 274 N Goodman St, 2718990; second location at Port of Rochester, 2718920; californiarollin.com) was already doing its part to take the intimidation factor out of maki by marrying traditional Japanese elements to New World ingredients. The combinations are both reasonably priced and oh-so-inspired.

Why, I happen to be snacking on some take-out right now! One is the Carla Roll ($7.65), which indulges my infatuation with sweet and savory via smoked salmon, jalapeños, raspberries, and cream cheese, while the other, the Atlantic Ocean Roll ($6.55) is helping me get my RDA of garlicky steamed shrimp and bacon.

Walking into the new Shogun Palace (850 East Ridge Rd, 342-2077, shogunpalacerochester.com), an expansive, sleek space clearly designed for maximum tranquility and enjoyment, you say a silent prayer that the food is as luscious as the decor.

And, lo, it is. The server rightly recommended the Ichiban Roll ($14), somehow constructed with spicy tuna, cucumber, and tempura bits on the inside, lobster tempura on the outside, then splashed with a diverse trio of sauces.

And of course I got the Irondequoit Roll ($10), telling myself it was a nod to my lovely hometown, but secretly wondering how eel, shrimp, avocado, and salmon might taste with succulent kiwi and salty miso. (Answer: wow.)

Blue Ocean (3641 Dewey Ave, 865-5756) was the wild card of the bunch; I chose it at random without knowing a thing about it.

Sitting kitty-corner from the Britton Road Wegmans, it isn’t much to look at, but the utilitarian appearance belies its deliciously imaginative maki. A roll only in shape, the sublime appetizer known as Red River ($8.95) was all seafood: spicy squid encased in velvety tuna then kissed with a dot of scarlet caviar.

And every chomp of the soybean-papered Samurai Roll ($13.95) yielded a different taste: spicy tuna, tempura shrimp, buttery avocado, and bright mango, drizzled with a sweet eel sauce and a zesty wasabi mayo.

So, anyone want to go get sushi with me?

Though born in Cyprus and currently living in Canada, the elusive Redbone carries himself as somewhat of a character --- so much so that when he first arrived on the scene in 1974, rumors began circulating that he was actually Frank Zappa. Redbone’s shows are mellow-down affairs full of his pre-war, Dixieland, shufflin’ jazz. Good for dancing real slow, and real close. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

[ ROCK ] Thirty Seconds To Mars was co-founded by

siblings Jared and Shannon Leto almost 15 years ago.

Jared is now as equally well known for his on-screen work (movies like “Requiem for a Dream” and “Panic Room”) as he is as lead singer for the band, a postgrunge rock group that is sometimes raucous, sometimes aggressive, and often reflective. The commercial floodgates seemed to open up after the release of “A Beautiful Lie,” an album that broadened the group’s sound to incorporate elements from the metal and ‘screamo’ genres, among others. — BY TODD REZSNYAK

The RIT Gospel Ensemble will open for Norful at RIT’s annual Gospel Fest with its trademark blend of traditional AfricanAmerican spirituals, interdenominational sacred songs, and modern gospel stylings. — BY RYAN WHIRTY

If you thought The John Payton Project’s explosive debut last month was a fluke, you’d be wrong. The band brought the same show to blow the doors off of Monty’s Krown last Friday night. Playing a mix of original instrumentals and selfpenned songs (a nod to Bob Marley was the night’s only exception), the band was ferociously tight and fun. If I had to pick, however, I’d have to say I like the band’s instrumentals a little more at this point; they’re cocksure and full of ominous tension. They sound downright dangerous.

Pheromones rocked the stage just before JPP, the band members soaking their sweat into the carpet for the headliners to squish around in.

Pheromones are indie-rock without the whine. Quirky but raw, and with at least one eyeball on the rock ’n’ roll at all times. Think Television turned way up.

The crowd dug them deep and loud. It’s the most people I’ve seen in the joint, and they were actually paying attention to the bands.

The night began with Inner Planets, which jammed comfortably in the dark; that’s right, no stage lights. I stood next to the percussionist, who was set up next to the stage with a full kit of hand drums and cymbals that he beat the hell out of

It was so cold out Monday night I saw a flasher handing out Polaroids. But it wasn’t cold enough to keep the kids from skating into Water Street Music Hall to dig Less Than Jake’s ninth (according to the band’s math anyway) show in Rochester.

With a sound reminiscent of The Ramones (I think the guitar player’s Moserite sealed the deal on that comparison) or a little like Social Distortion, Off With Their Heads was hitting on all eight as I made the scene. The band buzzed and ground in high gear in 4/4 time and stayed there. Great rock ’n’ roll.

Super Villains followed with a hippyhappy stab at the slower side of ska. The band’s one horn handled all the brass duties with the aid of a few stomp boxes on the floor, and the whole thing centered beautifully around the bassist, whose terrific mix and tone swung like an elephant trunk.

Lastly, LTJ performed to a crowd that looked like a popcorn popper gone haywire.

The band offered up a perfect blend of punk and ska and cartoon humor. The band members all looked unassuming, like college students or beach bums, but played an amazing, fun-filled set.

Mystery and surprise Driftwood Sailors w/Fifth Nation, Kevin Plane Friday, February 4 Lovin’ Cup, 300 Park Point 9 p.m. | $5 | 292-9940, thedriftwoodsailors.com [ PROFILE ] By Frank De Blase

As the cream was slowly making its way to the top at Lovin’ Cup’s “Lovin’ Cup Idol” contest last year, veteran Rochester rockers JJ Stasiw an Andy Seniuk were in the crowd, diggin’ the talent. It wasn’t long before they locked in on Amanda Lee Peers, a young woman with a guitar and a sultry, smoky voice. We’re talking the kind of voice that sings to the hair on the back of your neck, a voice that’ll stop you mid-step or mid-sentence. It wasn’t long until everyone at the weekly event was captivated by the young performer with the scrambled yellow hair, and she ended up walking away with the first-place trophy.

Peers had previously knocked around with Seniuk — a member of the Lovesick Heartstabbers — a bit before they caught wind of Stasiw. Known around town as a monster guitarist with Mid-Air Collision and Stone Believer, it was Stasiw’s keen sense of rock ’n’ roll style (think Huggy Bear or Gregg Allman, if he played in The Jackson 5) that grabbed them.

“It’s really funny,” says Peers. “Even before we approached JJ we joked, ‘Man we just want that guy to be our poster child.’”

“JJ’s the coolest-looking guy in Rochester,” Seniuk says.

Stasiw, who credits his style as a “backlash to my catholic school upbringing,” joined 16 City FEBRUARY 2-8, 2011

up, bringing the cool and the keys. Playing what the members describe as “swag rock,” The Driftwood Sailors officially set sail on Memorial Day last year.

The Sailors was her maiden voyage with a

band, but the idea had been brewing in Peers for a while. “I had been at it or a while,” she says. “Playing a lot of solo shows, but I had so many ideas I thought I could do with a band.

These guys came along and it’s been all good from there.”

Up to that point, Peers had been used to answering only to herself. She says the transition to working with others was a little rough at first.

It was hard to get into a band state of mind.

“I was thinking solo for a while,” she says.

“I just had this mindset writing songs with my guitar. It was easier, I only had myself, I could be on my own schedule. At first I had no idea what I was in for so it didn’t really cross my mind. The more that people joined I was like, ‘Man this is really a different thing to deal with.’ I’m getting there. It’s a really good learning experience.”

Some of her songs didn’t make the cut for the band and remain as simple acoustic pieces.

“I think there’s a song or two that may work better as a solo act,” Peers says. “But we’re continually shaping each one of our songs.”

“A lot of those early songs, we’re re-working and hearing new ideas as we play them. They just get better and better,” Seniuk says.

The dynamics between the members is helping to forge a stronger band. “They push me,” Peers says. “Because the ideas I have don’t necessarily work — or maybe they’re incomplete — they push me to come up with something new that works better with the band.”

Despite the current instrumentation, this

back and forth is softened some by common ground; all in the band swing or have swung a guitar. It’s a shared language amidst the mystery and surprise of the members’ individual contributions.

“I think it’s good,” Stasiw says. “I’ve been playing keyboards in the band, but I think about music like a guitar player. There were never keys behind my guitar playing. The sound that I always had in my mind — that I could never really find anybody to do behind me — I’m doing for somebody else.”

The Driftwood Sailors’ music is haunting and ethereal — thanks in part to Stasiw’s dense, retro keyboard tones — without getting too far off the ground. It’s rich and soulful with twists of Muscle Shoals muscle and a masked simplicity that is both seductive and thrilling.

Stasiw blames Peers and her songs.

“She’s a great songwriter, a great singer, an awesome performer,” he says. “And these songs sound great just sitting in a chair and playing.

You know you’ve got a nice song when you can sit there and do that. We give it a rock-band treatment to a certain extent, and some of them have come out to be real rockers. Some of them get a nice mellow treatment. We just try to keep aware of our dynamic and let it flow.”

“I love jamming with Amanda,” says Seniuk. “She’s the most talented person I’ve ever played with in a band. It just feels good when we’re playing.”

It sounds good, too. The Driftwood Sailors have just released a self-titled four-song EP and plan on expanding the band’s scope beyond Rochester’s borders. They’re going to fatten up the line-up too.

“We wanna get another lead guitar,” Peers says. “Yes. Another guitar player.”

JAZZ | Jake Shimabukuro

Itzhak Perlman does it on the violin, Renée Fleming does it with her voice, and Jimi Hendrix did it with his guitar. I’m talking about using an instrument with such superhuman dexterity that it seems impossible. Jake Shimabukuro does it on the most unlikely of instruments --- the toy-like ukulele.

Whether he plays a Beatles song like “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” or an original, it’s a tour de force that will take your breath away. Shimabukuro is the featured guest at the 41st Annual Penfield Jazz Fund Raiser, where he will join a variety of ensembles from Penfield schools and inspire hundreds of kids in the process.

ROOTS GUITAR | Rory Block & Cindy Cashdollar

Seeing one guitar virtuoso playing live is thrilling. Seeing two of them together? Potentially mind blowing. Rory Block is perhaps the foremost contemporary purveyor of traditional acoustic Delta blues, channeling the spirits — and talents — of Son House, Robert Johnson, and Mississippi Fred McDowell. Cindy Cashdollar is a master of the dobro and steel guitar who cut her teeth with country-swing legends Asleep at the Wheel and roots-rocker Dave Alvin. She appears regularly on “A Prairie Home Companion” and has played with such diverse talents as Marcia Ball, Bob Dylan, BeauSoleil, and Ryan Adams.

INDIE ROCK/FOLK | The Lighthouse & The Whaler

The Lighthouse & The Whaler comes on like a secular choir with its bare-bone song structures supporting dense and spectacular vocal layering. Even when stripped down to one voice and guitar there’s still a pervading majesty. Remember when one of the perks of the Catholic Church’s Novus Ordo was an influx of guitar? That’s kind of what’s going on with this Cleveland-based trio, except its music goes way beyond God. With Dave & Marissa, Matt & Chris, Ben Morey.

The “Fountain Elms Brooch Series” by Chris Irick, part of the “Torch Song: The Metals Invitational” exhibit now on view at Nazareth College. PHOTO PROVIDED

Trial by fire

“Torch Song: The Metals Invitational” Through March 11 Nazareth College Arts Center Gallery, 4245 East Ave. Tue-Thu 1-4 p.m., Fri-Sat 1-8 p.m. | 389-5073, naz.edu [ ART REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Appropriately, many attendees of the reception for the Metals Invitational at Nazareth College Arts Center Gallery arrived wearing fine art jewels, including works created by the featured artists. This exhibit brings together such diverse metal artists as Albert Paley, Chris Irick, and Stephen F. Saracino, and celebrates the “incredible number of professional metal/jewelry artists in Rochester and the surrounding region,” says Nazareth professor, metalsmith, and show curator Lynn Duggan.

This is due in part to the “strong presence of metalsmithing programs in the area. Within a three-hour radius of Rochester, by car, there is Nazareth College, RIT, SUNY at Geneseo and Brockport, Buffalo State University, Syracuse University, and Edinboro University in Pennsylvania,” among others, she says.

Except for two wall cases, all of the dozens of works are displayed in pedestal cases, a luxury afforded by the large, open gallery space. Many objects are viewable from all angles, such as “Journey” and “River,” two neck pieces by Lori Cooley, faculty member of the Creative Workshop at the Memorial Art Gallery.

Displayed upright and suspended from single hooks within a case, the open display shows off the reversible nature of the textured, boat-

shaped-pendants, which, held on rigid wire, are positioned to travel up the wearer’s throat rather than dangling down the chest.

The exhibit offers a great balance of tough and delicate creations in metal, expressing practical functions of beautifully crafted objects as well as the symbolic philosophies of the artists.

Graham Carson’s gorgeous and functional works are positioned in close-by cases like a femininemasculine diptych. “Perfume Holder” is a fine vessel of wood, silver, and copper, resembling a broken spotted egg shell with a silver dome cradled inside, and crowned by two African porcupine quills. Fashioned with equal care and beauty is Carson’s “Blade” of clay-tempered high-carbon steel, iron, wood, ebony, copper, and brass. The detail of the hammered pin that holds the blade in the handle shimmers amid dark wood grain and dark steel.

The ornate “V & A Brooch Series” by Chris Irick, head of the jewelry program at Pratt MWP in Utica, is comprised of 14k yellow gold, sterling silver, slate, felt, flocking, and acrylic. Each of the six round or oval pieces, with decorative patterning cut out of the different black material, would look at home at the collar of any fine Victorian lady. Buffalo State College professor Tara Nahabetian’s “Pollinator (Neckpiece)” is a playful, sexy work of pink fiber puffs and fans adhered by silver clamps to black rubber cord, resembling dusters, makeup applicators, or a vine of exotic plants worn around the neck.

Works by Edinboro University of Pennsylvania

faculty member Cappy Counard reveal the topical preciousness of the seed. “A Single Thought” is a tiny reliquary of 18k gold and sterling cradling a sweet pea seed. About the

size of a penny run over by a train, the intricate silver oval case, surrounded by golden border, has a circular gap in the top revealing a tiny brown seed. Removing the top oval gains us to access the seed, which rests in a tiny golden cup holder.

Heavier still in concept is “War Trophy”

by Buffalo State College professor Stephen F. Saracino. With an empty center, the front and back of a silver-toned Humvee jut off to the sides, and details include rugged tires, a rooftop gun station, tiny soldiers on the top of the trophy, who lay holding flowers or curled up like dead insects, and “Nation Building 3rd Place” incised into a plaque on the rear of the truck.

Two items of curator Duggan’s own symbolrich work are included in the exhibit, and deal with the traditional provinces of men and women, divisions which are still upheld today in many ways, she says. “Woman’s Work” is a chalice of silver and wood. The lip of the polished raised vessel morphs into a tabletop, with a thin metal “cloth” trailing down, a rich texture and patina hinting at the elegant relegation of the gentler sex. The material is torn and worn near the side where a tiny tea cup and saucer precariously perch. Below the bowl of the chalice is a woman’s armless torso, and further, the carefully balanced stem is a tripod: one branch is a smooth, curved stick, the other hinting at a hipbone and femur, but splitting off further down into a wish bone, with one side ending in an old-fashioned iron at work on a rippled piece of metal fabric.

Duggan’s other piece, “Outside the Ivory Tower,” refers to “women’s historical exclusion from education and the ongoing invisibility of women in many aspects of higher education,” she says. She notes that “in much of the world, girls and women have no access to education, even at the primary level.”

The idea for a metals invitational came to Duggan after Nazareth College hosted an Upstate NY Metals Symposium in 2004. “Albert Paley was gracious in offering to do a lecture for the symposium, so I wasn’t surprised that he accepted our invitation to show in ‘Torch Song,’” she says. Paley is known for his massive guardian and gateway works, but despite the smaller scale of his works in this exhibit, he is still able to evoke much emotion. “Evanesce” does is what Paley promises; the tall work of jutting cut steel mainly adheres to the quadrants of a rectangle, until the top third of the structure, where the motion shifts to bubble up and out.

Duggan also praises Patrice Case, an artist who has devoted herself to building the jewelry/ metalsmithing program at SUNY Geneseo — a program that will be cut from the university when the school phases out its entire arts program over the next four years. Case’s vessel forms are exquisite, and the sensual surfaces, which on first glance seem to be enameled, are actually produced by layering colored pencil. “Whorl” and “Potato Head” are vessels of copper, silver, and colored pencil, resembling blue-bottomed bell peppers, topped with silver caps and flowers.

Art Exhibits

ART EVENT | First Friday

The bitter cold may be tempting you to stay in and skip February’s First Friday, so I’m here to tell you what you won’t want to miss. The monthly city-wide gallery night is held by non-profit, university, and commercial and indie art venues, where we all trot about from station to station, filling our eyes and ears with what’s new and exciting in our community. On Friday, February 4, 6-9 p.m. (and sometimes later) you can check out art openings, poetry readings, and musical performances in various locations. Visit firstfridayrochester.org for a list of this month’s participating venues, and check out all the flyers in cafes and such for more events happening the same night. Here are just a few: Start your night off with a preview of art’s future with the Fourth Annual Invitational Showcase for Student Artwork at the Bevier Gallery (RIT, Booth Building, 132 Lomb Memorial Drive, 4752646), 5-7 p.m., which includes work from more than 300 area middle- and high-school art students.

Rochester Contemporary Art Center (137 East Ave., 461-2222) will present its annual Mentors & Makers exhibition (pictured), this year featuring new sculpture by artists and educators Wendell Castle and Nancy Jurs, and their former students Tom Lacagnina and Bethany Krull. The gallery is open to members of RoCo and Patron level members from 6 to 8 p.m. and to the wider public 8-10 p.m. While there, check out the LAB Space exhibition, “Charlie Arnold: Pioneer of Electrostatic Art,” which is part of the “Thaw” area-wide collaboration of simultaneous shows.

Another “Thaw” exhibition opens Friday at the Hungerford Building (1115 E. Main St.), with “Thaw: Melting Hearts” at Crocus Clay Works (Suite 225, 414-5643), which will include a variety of ceramic works by Christine & Brian Krieger, Sabra Wood, and Jennifer Buckley. The Main Street Artists’ Gallery & Studio (Suite 458, 223-2006) will feature art by Christine Norris as well as original small works.

Also part of “Thaw” is “No Boundaries: New Expressions in Black Art,” which opens 6-9 p.m. at the Baobab Cultural Center (728 University Ave., 563-2145) and will include works by Hiram Cray, Edreys Wajed, Michelle Harris, and Shawn Dunwoody.

“Shedding Light” by Pamela Vander Zwan will open at Visual Studies Workshop (31 Prince St., 442-8676), with a companion show, “A Reading Room for Shedding Light,” at the Link Gallery at Central Library (115 South Ave.). The reception takes place 6-9 p.m. and will feature work that “asks fundamental questions about participation in democratic society” (per the press release) through the pairing of “photographs of blindfolded people in situations that demand the use of sight or adaptation to a lack of sight,” with Braille reading stations “that put the viewer into a situation in which sight does not automatically equal awareness.”

Since the bar stays open until 2 a.m., the “Lux Be a Lady” show at Lux Lounge (666 South Ave., luxlounge.com) might be your last stop of the evening, though the opening’s official hours are 6-9 p.m. It’s ladies night for the next month or so, featuring work

COMEDY | Aziz Ansari

Band 441 headlines KidzROC, a concert for kids and by kids, taking place this weekend at the Main Street Armory. PHOTO PROVIDED

Chord progression [ PREVIEW ] By Kate Antoniades

KidzROC Saturday, February 5 Main Street Armory, 900 E. Main St. 7 p.m. | $12.50-$15 ($40/family four-pack) | 218-9125, kidzroc.com

When you’re a 12-year-old girl, you might ask your mom to throw you a pool party or drop off you and your friends at the movies. If your mom is a Broadway producer, though, you can aim a bit higher.

KidzROC is the latest project from Lori Bajorek, producer of “Godspell” and “13!” on Broadway, as well as 2008’s “Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, The New Musical,” which previewed at the Eastman Theatre. The new endeavor evolved from a conversation with Bajorek’s daughter, Alia. “She said, ‘Mom, why can’t you do something here to help raise money for kids and have kids performing in it?’ She kind of convinced me, and it kept growing from a little idea,” says Bajorek.

KidzROC is 90 minutes of live music and dancing that puts kids in the spotlight, including three young, local bands. Headliner 441, which just released its first full-length CD, “Light the Way,” is made up of four Penfield boys who range in age from 11 to 14.

Also performing will be NEx Generation, the Sierra Jones Band, and a group of six young dancers and singers billed as “‘Glee’-style cheerleaders.” Celebrity impersonators will perform songs by Kid Rock, Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, and others.

Ticket sales will benefit CANs for Kids (cansforkids.info), a nonprofit Alia created that has raised money for local charities like the Ronald McDonald House and Salvation Army, as well as programs in math, science, and the arts. Alia, a seventh grader at Calkins Road Middle School, collects cans and bottles, donates the returns to the organization, and encourages others to do the same. To lend a hand to KidzROC, the Henrietta Redemption Center (2595 E. Henrietta Rd., Henrietta) donated an extra cent for each can returned in January. Kids who collect enough cans earn VIP tickets to the show; schools can nab 100-seat VIP sections.

The night’s entertainment is aimed at the whole family, says Lori Bajorek. “You could take your 5-year-old and also the 12-year-old sister or brother. And it’s something that I think Mom and Dad would like to come to. … Mom and Dad will recognize things that have been redone in today’s music.”

Even though most of the performers aren’t even old enough to drive, Bajorek promises a big event. “This is a true rock concert in rock-concert style; this isn’t just a kid going up on a stage at school,” she says. “This is a rock concert complete with confetti machines, and things dropping from the sky, and smoke machines. People will be very impressed with the quality of what we’re actually pulling off, and the kids are just phenomenal.”

Two weeks before the concert, Bajorek already had her mind on the future of KidzROC — she would like to create a KidzROC band — and the performers were already itching to take the show on the road. “The ultimate goal is to make this an annual event,” she says. “I would love to see if we could do it twice a year; that would be awesome. … I want to help as many children have an opportunity to perform on a big stage and raise money for a good cause.”

KidzROC also gives Bajorek, who will make an appearance on stage herself, the chance to fulfill a long-held ambition. “I kidded the kids: when I was a kid I wanted to be a rock star, but I just had zero talent,” she says. “I’m actually living my childhood dream.”

24 City february 2-8, 2011

I just discovered NBC’s ridiculous “Parks and Recreation” for the first time when the new season premiered, and I so totally get why everyone was bummed that it went off the air for the better part of a year. While I play catch up via Hulu’s past-season offerings, one of its charming stars will make an appearance in Rochester this weekend.

On Friday, February 4, at 9 p.m., actor, writer, and stand-up comedian Aziz Ansari (known as Tom Haverford on “Parks”), also of “Get Him to the Greek” and “Observe and Report” fame, will perform standup during RIT’s annual Freeze Fest.

The event takes place at RIT’s Gordon Field House (1 Lomb Memorial Drive; park in lots D, N, U G, or H), and doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets are $17 for students, $26 for faculty/ staff/alum, and $41 for the general public. The event will be interpreted and closed captioned. For more information or to purchase tickets, call 475-2509, email cab@rit.edu, or visit rit. edu/studentaffairs/cab. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

SPORTS | Archery Tournament

www.monalisacafe.net

Mentions of the word “archery” might bring up images of Native Americans gracefully aiming from horseback, or Robin Hood accosting the filthy rich. While rifles have largely replaced the skillful, analog point-and-shoot in hunting, bows and arrows are still used by many, and not just in Nerf wars around the office.

This weekend, in efforts to celebrate the tradition of archery in the Northeast, Elite Archery will host the Winter Cam Classic archery tournament, and you can join in and test your dexterity.

807 Ridge Rd. • 671.2080 Webster Woods Plaza

3047 W. Henrietta Rd. Henrietta Townline Plaza | 475-1111 www.tasteofindiarochester.com

The tournament takes place Saturday and Sunday, February 5-6, at Minett Hall at the Fair & Expo Center (2695 E. Henrietta Road), with events on Saturday 9 a.m.-9 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m.-4 p.m. The event boasts two courses of 21 targets each, and a 10-target pop-up 3D course. This is no Sherwood Forest. Spectators get in for free, while participants can register for $50, or $60 for the Sunday money shoot. For more information or to register visit wintercamclassic.com.

THEATER | Injured Superhero Show

Superman had kryptonite. For the Green Lantern, it was the color yellow. And, well, Batman had the power of money and ingenuity, but he was also batshit crazy. Superheroes may have superpowers, but that doesn’t mean they don’t also have crippling Achilles’ heels. After all, many of them are only human.

“Are you an Injured Superhero?” This call for participants has been released for John W. Borek (aka The Professor of Rap) and Spencer T. Christiano’s newest stage production, which will take place Monday, February 7, at 7 p.m. at the MuCCC (142 Atlantic Ave.), on the day the accident-plagued “SpiderMan” musical officially opens on Broadway.

If you’d like to participate, show up at the MuCCC in your original injured-superhero costume with a prepared two- to fiveminute monologue or performance describing who you are, how you were injured, how your special powers have been affected, and why you should be considered for the show (keep it PG, though!). If you just want to watch, show up, pay what you can, and enjoy. For more information, call John Borek at 455-6921 or visit muccc.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

SPECIAL EVENT | New York Ice Wine Festival

We may not be Napa Valley, but the Finger Lakes and Western New York wineries are nothing to sneeze at, and our region produces some very delicious and competitive varieties of wine. But perhaps most suited to our climate is ice wine, a sweet treat of a dessert wine created by pressing frozen grapes plucked from the chilly vines and then fermented, resulting in a concentrated flavor popular with connoisseurs around the world.

The New York Ice Wine Festival takes place this Saturday, February 5, noon-6 p.m. at Casa Larga Vineyards (2287 Turk Hill Road). Tickets are $40 advance and $50 at the door, and include ice-wine tastings, gourmet food, wine and food seminars, winery tours, entertainment, and live ice-carving demos. You can purchase tickets at all area Wegmans stores or by visiting casalarga.com.

THEATER | Local improv troupes

In January this newspaper reviewed Geva Theatre’s current production, “I’ll Be Geneseeing You,” a comedy about Rochester written and performed the legendary Second City improv troupe. The smartass author of the piece (that would be me) had some issues with the show, specifically the fact that out-oftowners were taking on our fair city, when we have a plethora of extremely talented local comedy groups right in our backyard.

Geva took the challenge, and for the final week of the “Geneseeing” run it has brought in several local groups to perform — for free — after the main shows, when the home teams will face off against the show’s cast. Unleashed! already took the stage on Tuesday, February 1. But you still have a chance to see the very funny Nuts & Bolts on Thursday, February 3; the fabulous women of Estrofest on Friday, February 4; and Geva’s house troupe Geva Comedy Improv (pictured) on Saturday, February 5. These “third act” performances are included in the ticket price of that evening’s performance.

“I’ll Be Geneseeing You” runs Thursday at 7:30 p.m., Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 4 & 8:30 p.m., and wraps Sunday, February 6, at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $22-$59. For more information visit 232-4382 or visit gevatheatre.org. — BY ERIC REZSNYAK p.m. $12. 966-4000.

Driving out the devil [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

theologians of the cinema — to dramatize questions of faith and doubt.

The movie begins disturbingly, with a “The Rite” mortician, Michael Kovak (Colin O’Donoghue) (PG-13), directed by Mikael Håfstrom preparing a corpse for display, a practice almost Now playing as distressing as an autopsy, which also introduces the picture’s meditation on the existence of A cartoon in The New Yorker some years the soul and the possibility of an afterlife. The ago showed one of its typical suburban camera focuses on a whimsical tattoo of a devil characters reading a newspaper in his library, on the body, then tilts up to show an array of when Satan suddenly appears before him; laboratory instruments, then tilts higher to hold the man looks up and says, “There must be on a crucifix. The three images introduce the some mistake, I’m an atheist.” That joke, major subjects of death, science, and religion, which actually addresses the paradoxes of which torment Kovak throughout the film. belief, nicely sums up the major themes To escape the mortuary and the stern of “The Rite,” a film that employs the presence of his father (Rutger Hauer), Michael ritual of exorcism — a familiar business to enrolls in a seminary, where he can receive a free education, then hang up his Roman collar before taking his final vows. When he reaches that point his mentor persuades him, despite his serious personal doubts, to study in a two-month course to train exorcists offered by the Vatican in response to orders Anthony Hopkins and Colin O’Donoghue in “The Rite.” PHOTO COURTESY WARNER BROS.

from the Pope. There he encounters the classic test of faith, the question of the existence of both God and the Devil.

Aware of Michael’s disbelief in demonic possession, his instructor at the Vatican academy sends him to visit an experienced exorcist, Father Lucas Trevant (Anthony Hopkins), who attempts to convince him of the reality of the Devil. Michael contends that what theologians regard as the work of Satan is actually psychosis, a form of paranoid schizophrenia that manifests itself in hallucinations, physical spasms, and vocal distortions. Warning Michael that he won’t see any of the famous pea soup and spinning heads of “The Exorcist,” granddaddy of possession flicks, Lucas leads him through his treatment of a couple of young Italians who suffer the invasion of one of the Devil’s minions; Michael offers a number of plausible rational explanations for the symptoms they display.

One of his classmates, Angelina (Alice Braga), a journalist working on an article about the course, befriends Michael. She shares some of his skepticism, but maintains an open mind, accompanying him on a couple of his visits to Lucas to observe the actions of his patients and the work of the exorcist. Michael continues to argue against any notion of the existence of Satan, until he experiences a couple of inexplicable events and a confrontation with a weird, malevolent creature.

Back to life [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“Somewhere” (R), written and directed by Sofia Coppola Opens Friday

External circumstances and a shocking transformation finally force Michael to conduct his own ceremony, working through exactly the rite that both his instructor and Lucas outline for him in a terrible struggle with a particular Biblical demon. The familiar pairing of the believer and the doubter predictably resolves itself through the not entirely unlikely notion that accepting the existence of the Devil leads to a belief in God; the presence of Satan, paradoxically, brings Michael to faith.

In keeping with the subject, much of the acting and presentation spills over into the dark exaggeration of melodrama, generating quantities of extreme emotion, especially in the continued anguish of Colin O’Donoghue. Anthony Hopkins creates a sort of compendium of some previous roles, incorporating bits of Van Helsing from “Bram Stoker’s Dracula,” Hannibal Lecter from “The Silence of the Lambs,” and even the title character in “Titus.”

Another recent possession flick, “The Last Exorcism,” employed the methods of the documentary, a fashionable approach to horror these days, while “The Rite” credits a nonfiction account of some actual events for its inspiration.

Since the last pope ordered every archdiocese to provide its faithful with an exorcist, it seems likely that demonic possession will continue to enliven contemporary cinema. Michael, Freddy, Jason, and all those other menaces hardly rival Satan himself, who in the words of the Catholic prayer, roams the world seeking the ruin of souls.

The first 10 years of my relationship with filmmaker Sofia Coppola were — let me put this bluntly — unsatisfying. I had a shockingly violent response to 2003’s otherwise acclaimed “Lost In Translation” (echoed best by my sister Jill’s legendary five-word review: “What the f**k was that?”), while Coppola’s 2006 effort, the preciously anachronistic “Marie Antoinette,” has the distinction of being one of the few films I’ve ever stomped out on. To be honest, I did appreciate her debut, 1999’s “The Virgin Suicides,” perhaps because, like that film’s Lisbon sisters, I too am one of five daughters. So, while it may not be justifiable critically, I have to diagnose my aversion to Coppola’s later two films as stemming from my utter inability to empathize with her miserably privileged characters. But such is the personal nature of art, you know?

Coppola’s gorgeous, confident new film, “Somewhere,” also takes place in

Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning in “Somewhere.” PHOTO COURTESY FOCUS FEATURES

the rarefied world of celebrity, this time observing as a successful actor gets some perspective on his hollow existence when his 11-year-old daughter pops up for an extended stay. And while she may be continuing to follow the old wisdom to “Write what you know,” Coppola finally seems to have found a way to infuse some relatable depth into her creations, even a seemingly shallow one like movie star Johnny Marco.

As expertly played by Stephen Dorff, Johnny lives at the Chateau Marmont, a hotel long synonymous with Hollywood notoriety. Sunny, idle LA days that should be envied by serfs like us just look empty. Johnny’s life appears to consist of drinking, thinking, smoking, waiting.

Even the pneumatically boobed twins who provide Johnny with his in-room entertainment are more boring than hot.

We do see Johnny working occasionally. Coppola drives home the less glamorous aspects of moviemaking with a long, lonely shot of Johnny in oldman latex, as well as a photo op between Johnny and his barely civil co-star (a bristling Michelle Monaghan) punctuated with the diminutive man stepping off a box. It’s only when his bright daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning) unexpectedly arrives that Johnny flickers to life. The dynamic between them is pure and ever-shifting, with Cleo sometimes stepping into the role of caretaker to provide her father with a little homespun (and home-cooked) normalcy. But as dazzled as Cleo is by Johnny’s seemingly fairytale lifestyle, all the indoor pools in Italy can’t make up for the fact that Cleo simply wants a grownup daddy who can put aside his own selfish pursuits and make her feel safe.

Never mind perpetual “Jackass” Chris Pontius’s adorable turn as Johnny’s longtime friend; that Coppola would take a leading-man chance on

a B-lister like Dorff is a gamble that pays off. In a performance refreshingly free of vanity (witness the Propecia on the sink), Dorff is afforded one of those rare mid-career opportunities to prevent a possibly irreversible slide to the C list, and he takes full advantage.

There’s no denying the appeal of having your every desire met, but Johnny’s empty days make it clear that it’s always more about what you need than what you want. And Dorff has a perfect foil in the unaffected Fanning, her Cleo possessed of that preternatural understanding found in children born to immature parents. Cleo plays both mother and daughter to Johnny, though, unsurprisingly, the film’s best scenes feature them in their natural roles, eating late-night gelato or having an underwater tea party.

It’s probably safe to assume that “Somewhere” contains some semiautobiographical elements of Coppola’s own upbringing among Tinseltown royalty, and the addition of that nostalgic kid’s-eye view may be why this one feels more from-the-heart than Coppola’s previous films. But don’t be too distracted by Harris Savides’ wistfully evocative cinematography; Coppola holds many of her scenes for beats longer than you may be used to, where the images remains the same but your reactions to them are allowed run the gamut. Strippers that initially seemed sexy are actually just doing their jobs, while a slick, speeding Ferrari becomes less exciting with every lap.

And a little girl on ice skates grows more womanly and graceful as her father pays closer attention. Coppola shows rather than tells; this may be initially jarring to those accustomed to narrative force-feeding, but it is — let me put this bluntly — truly satisfying.

Janis Reding SALESPERSON

Office: 585-421-5155 Cell: 585-455-8641 jreding@nothnagle.com | www.nothnagle.com For detailed information on this property, call our 4-SALE LINE: (585)292-8500 PC#2289 OR nothnagle.com/R131147

Every detail of the imposing home at 65 Barrington Street is a testament to the artistry of its architect, Claude Fayette Bragdon.

Examples are the dentil molding that graces the front roof-edge, the fan-light windows throughout the house, and the turned spindles of the elegant stairway. Bragdon (1866-1946), was internationally known by the end of his life not only as an architect, but as a stage designer, writer, artist and philosopher. In the Rochester and Buffalo region, he was immensely admired for his domestic as well as institutional buildings. Bragdon was the architect of the First Universalist Church on Court Street (1907), and the New York Central Railroad Station, opened in 1913 and sadly torn down in 1965. Bragdon also designed numerous “Festivals of Song and Light” held in Rochester and in New York’s Central Park from 1915 to 1918. The original drawings and specifications for 65 Barrington are preserved in the Bragdon Family Papers at the University of Rochester Department of Rare Books at the Rush Rhees Library.

The house was commissioned in 1903 by St. Paul’s Episcopal Church to be its rectory, and for that purpose Bragdon created a welcoming space designed for gracious entertaining. The center entrance front door opens to a large hallway with a soaring ceiling. To the left is the spacious living room with a decorative mantle and leaded glass windows. Pocket doors open to the banquetsized dining room. To the right of the front

hall is a sunny room that could be a parlor or den. The eat-in kitchen has been tastefully remodeled and boasts a new stove and oven.

Altogether there are seven bedrooms, three full baths, two half baths and a finished basement in this 4,163 squarefoot, three-story house. Meticulous care has been taken in the recent updating of all the rooms. New plastering and painting of the walls and refinishing of the hardwood floors bring a lustrous and rich sheen to every surface.

Of the many special features of the house, perhaps the stairway landing with a large window seat is most remarkable. An oversized window topped with a fan-light brings an abundance of natural light to the area, providing a bright connecting link to the two floors.

This home of uncommon elegance is ideally situated an easy walk to restaurants and shops on Park Avenue. The lot, 99 by 125 feet, is professionally landscaped and fully fenced, and includes a two-car detached garage. The house is listed at $649,000 and is being shown by Janis Reding through Nothnagle Realtors. She can be contacted at 421-5155 or jreding@nothnagle.com/.

SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY OR GO TO THE COURT WHERE YOUR CASE IS PENDING FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON HOW TO ANSWER THE SUMMONS AND PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY. SENDING A PAYMENT TO YOUR MORTGAGE COMPANY WILL NOT STOP THIS FORECLOSURE ACTION. YOU MUST RESPOND

BY SERVING A COPY OF THE ANSWER ON THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PLAINTIFF (MORTGAGE COMPANY) AND FILING THE ANSWER WITH THE COURT. HELP FOR HOMEOWNERS IN FORECLOSURE New York State Law requires that we send you this no­ tice about the foreclosure process. Please read it carefully. Summon and Complaint You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to re­ spond to the summons and complaint in this foreclosure action, you may lose your home.

Please read the sum­ mons and complaint carefully. You should im­mediately contact an at­torney or local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect your­self.

Source 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 non-profit organiza­ tions 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 at 1-877- 226-5697 or visit the Department’s website at www.banking. state.ny.u_ s. 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.

The foregoing Summons is served upon you by publication pursuant to an order of Honorable Francis A. Affronti, Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, signed on the 7th day of January 2010, at Rochester, New York and to be duly entered in the Monroe County Clerk’s Office, at Rochester, New York. The Nature of this action pertains to a note and mortgage held by Plaintiff on real property owned by the defendant, ANGEL COLON and JENNY COLON. The said defendant has defaulted on the note and mort­gage and the plaintiff commenced a foreclo­sure action.

Plaintiff is seeking a judgment fore­closing its mortgage against the real property and premises commonly known as 300 Roycroft Drive, City of Rochester, County of Monroe and State of New York and all other relief as to the Court may seem just and equitable.
