Sprawling communities, spiraling costs Government has played its role in suburban sprawl.

It’s built the water lines for new homes and widened roads to accommodate heavier volumes of traffic.

New York, however, could soon change the nature of its long, complicated relationship with sprawl.

The state has a new smart-growth law, which requires some of its agencies to develop advisory committees that review major infrastructure project proposals. If a project doesn’t line up with smart-growth principles, it might not be approved or funded.

A premium is placed on projects in already developed areas and using or enhancing existing infrastructure. The law is also meant to help state officials prioritize spending on things like road or sewer projects. That’s not to say the criteria are absolute. If an agency can adequately justify a project, it can still be approved or receive funding. For the new process to work properly, it’ll be essential for state and local officials to buy in.

Gosnell abortions are not the only tragic deaths

The sad story of Dr. Gosnell and his “House of Horrors” should give us pause. The family physician turned late-term abortionist was arrested in Philadelphia January 19 under eight charges of murder.

Reports indicate that he used scissors to cut the spinal cords of seven newborns, killing them. The eighth charge stems from the death of his patient, Karnamaya Mongar.

1960’s-70’s advocates for legalizing abortion asserted that doing so would save women’s lives, yet stories of atrocities perpetrated by abortionists abound. Three 2010 cases provide examples.

In the first, a woman named Ying Chen died after Dr. Andrew Rutland of California allegedly administered an incorrect dosage of anesthesia during an abortion. Previously, Rutland’s license had been revoked for several years after allegations of incompetence. In the second example, Alexandra Nunez received an abortion at a New York City clinic. When medics arrived, she was bleeding heavily, and she later died at a hospital. In the third, Michigan teenager Caitlin Bruce said that Dr. Alberto Hodari forced an abortion on her. Although she changed her mind about the abortion during the procedure, she said, he held his hand over her mouth while she screamed and did the abortion anyway.

Despite 38 years of Roe v Wade, back-alley abortions and ill-qualified abortionists with questionable ethical standards still violently take the lives of women while pro-choice women’s organizations remain mute.

Proponents of legalized abortion also claimed that crushing social problems like domestic violence, child abuse, out-of-wedlock births, and the number of children living in poverty would decrease. Statistics from Child Protective Services, the Center for Disease Control and City

FEBRUARY 9-15, 2011

Prevention, and like agencies tell a different story. One in four women report experiencing domestic violence, and homicide is the Number 1 killer of pregnant women in the US. Reported child-abuse cases were near 167,000 in 1973 and rose to 3.3 million by 2003. Out-of-wedlock births went from 10.7 percent in 1970 to 40.6 percent by 2008, and the number of children living in poverty jumped from 14.3 percent in 1973 to 17.6 percent in 2003. Although correlation does not equal causation, the promises of legalized abortion have clearly not been realized.

The abortion experiment has failed. We mistakenly settled on a quick-fix solution to the challenges women face. Wisdom and common sense dictate that we discard old notions and together seek more humane, long-term solutions in our quest for women’s equality.

On the University of Rochester’s College Town plans: Why a Cleve-

land developer? No Rochester, upstate, or at least NYS developers could have been hired for this?

Supporting local and NYS businesses should be a priority if we are to fix NYS’s economy.

NY PROMOTER

This type of development —an entirely new, vibrant “college town” — requires a specialized developer with a track record of getting the critical-mass-mix right. It’s a recipe for disaster choosing any ordinary developer that builds one-off, run-ofthe-mill office buildings, malls, strip plazas. U of R made exactly the right call picking a developer whose forte is the very thing they’re after.

JJ BARDEN

Really, JJ? Although this maybe a “very complex and highly specialized “ project, that’s not to say that Rochester doesn’t have talented architects, urban planners, engineers, attorneys, along with a local developer to complete this project . This is another slap in the face by U of R to the local design community. And they wonder why their graduates leave town?

SRTAIA

On our February 3 blog on the Buffalo Common Council’s consideration of an anti-fracking bill: Hav-

ing recently worked at Buffalo City Hall, I was somewhat involved in

this issue. Buffalo Common Council members are to be commended for proactively pursuing this, and Rochester needs to be involved, as well. Several reasons: 1) Rochester’s pristine water supply (which I appreciate even more, having to drink Lake Erie water here) is on the edge of the Southern Tier, and could be impacted by fracking-fluid contamination of both ground and surface water — even from a distance.

Who would have to pay for the emergency measures needed to mitigate such contamination? You guessed it: you, the Rochester and Monroe County taxpayer.

2) There are legal precedents affecting this and many other issues facing municipalities. It all centers around the issue of corporate personhood, and whether municipalities can pass laws or take actions affecting the rights of corporations to do what they want within those municipalities.

There’s current (bad) precedent suggesting they don’t, meaning a corporation (a minority of 1) could ride roughshod over the wishes of the majority, expressed through ordinances. As more municipalities adopt ordinances against fracking, it increases the pressure for legislative clarification that municipalities can control environmentally objectionable practices within their borders.

3) Regarding acceptance of fracking wastewater by municipal waste systems: Your alt-weekly colleagues at Buffalo’s Artvoice have exposed this danger in their last three issues, available online (Artvoice.com). It appears that Buffalo’s municipal sewer plant has unknowingly been accepting fracking wastewater since last year — and both the sewer authority and the state DEC do not seem to be able to ascertain on their own whether this is or isn’t happening.

4) The billionaire who just purchased the Buffalo Sabres made his money in the natural gas industry in Pennsylvania. As the Buffalo News exposed on Sunday, his companies had poor-to-middling records on environmental violations. He and his wife (conservative Republicans) also donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Pennsylvania lawmakers (and the governor) during battles over regulation of hydrofracking.

Might he try the same here in New York — throwing money into state and local political races as did the previous owner of the Sabres?

Egypt and the courage of our convictions Dictators are almost always able to put down rebellions if they’re willing to use force. I have more than dim memories of Tiananmen, since our son was at college in Beijing during that uprising (and, to our horror, was at the Square with Chinese students at least one day).

Until late last week, it seemed as if Egypt would be different. Hosni Mubarak had promised not to use force. The military pledged the same.

Then came Thursday’s violence.

It was, wrote the New York Times’ Nicholas Kristof, “an organized government crackdown, but it relied on armed hoodlums, not on police or army troops.”

Since then, things have been more peaceful — in Tahrir Square. Not so off the square, though, according to media reports. Some of the violence was between Mubarak supporters and opponents. But some was state sponsored. Especially chilling: Sunday’s first-hand account by two Times reporters who were picked up and whisked off to some sort of detention center. There, they were interrogated by Egypt’s secret police, and while they were not harmed, they heard terrifying screams of other detainees being beaten in adjacent rooms.

Well, what is the US to do?

For a few days, I sympathized with the Obama administration’s cautious approach. We don’t know what will happen if Mubarak leaves now, and there seems to be no clear opposition leader able to take charge. (Not to mention someone who can deal with the country’s core problems.)

Besides, we can not tell Mubarak what to do.

We can, however, take sides. And the more I read, the more convinced I am that we can stand only with the protestors and their demands. Continuing to justify our support for the long-time dictator will do us, and Egypt, more harm than good.

The Obama administration is urging a slow, “orderly transition,” which would leave Mubarak in charge for months. But Mubarak is a dictator who, as New York Times columnist Roger Cohen puts it, “has ruled with the sweeping powers of an Emergency Law since Anwar el-Sadat’s 1981 assassination; who has broken countless promises to revoke that law; who has just overseen a farce of a parliamentary election that stuffed the legislature with his National Democratic Party; who has refused to offer any succession plan; who has allowed a coterie

Continuing to justify our support for the long-time dictator will do us, and Egypt, more harm than good.

around his son Gamal to amass Farouk-like wealth through sweetheart deals….”

The protesters are rebelling against all of that — and against poverty and unemployment and lack of hope. And they have no faith that Mubarak will now keep his promises, if he stays in office for a few more months.

This is no time for timidity in foreign policy.

“President Mubarak has had all the leverage he could ever want to truly reform Egypt’s economy and build a moderate, legitimate political center to fill the void between his authoritarian state and the Muslim Brotherhood,” the Times Thomas Friedman writes. “But Mubarak deliberately maintained the political vacuum between himself and the Islamists so that he could always tell the world, ‘It’s either me or them.’”

“In the name of weakening Islamism,” Michael Gerson wrote in the Washington Post, Mubarak “undermined all legitimate opposition, often forcing dissent into the radical mosque. If the alternatives to Mubarak’s rule are poor, it is because he did his best to make it so.”

And the Post’s Eugene Robinson warns of another danger if Mubarak stays on until fall: “The sweet, optimistic fervor that we’ve seen in those amazing pictures from Tahrir Square would have months to sour and curdle — and the Islamist movement would likely be the ultimate beneficiary.”

“We can’t take the position that democracy is good only when we approve of the leaders who are elected,” Robinson writes. “We’d never convince the Egyptians that this was anything but rank hypocrisy. We’d never even convince ourselves.”

Tragically, we seem to be speeding down the path of hypocrisy.

Lej approves redistricting commission

The County Legislature narrowly approved setting up a five-member commission to redraw legislative districts based on the 2010 Census. The commission will include five partisan officials: three Republicans and two Democrats.

Democrats had urged that the commission not include any current or former elected officials. The vote was split along party lines for the most part, though Republican Legislator Carmen Gumina joined the Democrats in voting against the proposal.

Mayoral suit tossed

A judge dismissed a lawsuit charging that acting Rochester mayor Carlos Carballada doesn’t have the authority to serve in that position. In his decision, Supreme Court Justice David Michael Barry said that firefighters union President Jim McTiernan and Democratic Committee member and Rochester resident Louis Amico didn’t establish that they had suffered an injury and that they didn’t have standing to file the lawsuit. McTiernan said that he wouldn’t appeal the decision, but that he and others involved with the lawsuit may try to find someone who can establish that they have

been harmed so that a new suit can be filed.

Increasing parent involvement

The Rochester school board held the first of several meetings to discuss the district’s parent involvement policy. Some parents who attended the meeting said the district’s legal definition of “parent” should include family members such as grandparents, since they are often caretakers of city students but may not be the legal guardians. And parents said they want clearly defined guidelines for how parent representatives are selected for various committees.

Board member Jose Cruz promised a full review of all the issues before the policy is finalized.

PUBLIC SAFETY | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Guns for fire?

The work of Rochester fire investigators resembles, in many ways, police work. They interview witnesses and potential suspects, and they can make arrests.

But investigators are not armed. Should they be? The issue came up recently at a Public Safety Committee meeting of City Council. Council member Adam McFadden, the committee’s chair, said he’d been approached by investigators wanting the authority to carry guns.

Mall owner pays tax bill

Medley Centre owner Scott Congel paid off more than $212,000 in back taxes that Monroe County had assumed. Congel’s firm owed the money for fire district taxes, and the county had placed a lien on the property, according to a Democrat and Chronicle article.

Congel’s firm has proposed redeveloping the vacant Irondequoit mall, which it purchased in 2007, but it has yet to make any visible progress.

Fire Chief John Caufield: Arming fire investigators “has been talked about off and on for years.”

PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

“The issue of weapons — arming our fire investigators — has been talked about off and on for years,” says Rochester Fire Chief John Caufield.

“That’s not to say that there has been any high-level discussion. It’s mostly been talk, I guess.”

The RFD’s Fire Investigation Unit employs 10 full-time fire investigators, and a Rochester police officer is also assigned full time to the unit. Every fire is investigated, Caufield says, to determine a cause.

Investigators work in two-person teams, for safety. And they are trained to call the police at the first sign of trouble.

“It’s good old-fashioned common sense,” Caufield says.

Caufield says he’s not opposed to arming investigators, but that he’s

never gotten a request or a proposal from the command staff of the Fire Investigation Unit. He relies on that staff, he says, to tell him what they need to do their jobs.

The investigators are trained and legally designated as peace officers, Caufield says. And he says he doesn’t know what would be involved, legally, to allow them to carry firearms.

If he did get a request, Caufield says he would discuss it with the police chief, the city’s law department, and the mayor.

“It would be a policy decision that would transcend the fire department,” he says. “At some point, City Council or the mayor or someone would have to make the decision.”

Rochester grads not well educated

Lee, Buerkle fight funding for abortions

According to a new report from state education officials, only 5 percent of Rochester’s students are graduating in four years with an education good enough to do college-level work or get a job that pays a decent salary.

The statistics are based on 2009 figures. The Rochester school district’s graduation rate that year was 46.6 percent, highlighting a growing concern among educators: although the graduation rate is unacceptably low, even that figure is deceptive. Many of the students who do graduate aren’t well educated.

While the rates were low among all student demographics in Rochester, white students fared better than African-American and Hispanic students. Those rates: white graduation rate, 53.8 percent; “college and career ready,” 19.5 percent. African-American graduation rate, 44.4 percent, “college and career ready,” 4.8 percent.

Hispanic graduation rate, 41.9 percent, “college and career ready,” 6.8 percent.

(In an interview on Tuesday, a school district spokesperson said that Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard’s program of closing under-performing schools is designed to address the issue of college preparation.)

Rural “high-need schools” — those with a large number of high-needs students — fared only slightly better: 40.4 percent “college and career ready” compared to a graduation rate of 81.4 percent.

Predictably, “low-need” schools had the best rates, although even in those schools, there was a large difference between the graduation rate and the “college and career ready” rate: 94.6 percent graduation rate, 72.3 percent “college and career ready.”

Upstate Representatives Chris Lee and Ann Marie Buerkle are among the House Republicans co-sponsoring a controversial bill that would permanently restrict federal funding for abortions. They’re the only members of the local House delegation to sign on to the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. | If passed, the bill, H.R. 3, would restrict the use of federal money for abortions, except in certain cases: rape victims, minors who are incest victims, or women whose pregnancies endanger their lives. Federal funding for abortions is already subject to restrictions; Congress passes them each year alongside its appropriations. The new bill, however, would place those restrictions into permanent law, ending the need to renew the provisions each year. | As the bill is currently written, it provides an exception for “forcible rape,” though it offers no definition of the term.

Abortion-rights groups were alarmed by the wording worrying that the language would exclude federal funding for victims of certain forms of rape, such as date rape or a woman who is drugged and assaulted. Media reports say the sponsor, New Jersey Representative Christopher Smith, will remove “forcible” from the text of the bill.

The high-speed race for mayor begins backroom deal involving Richards, Gantt, and Warren.

While there were plenty of smiles and warm

from left:

At the Democratic Convention: party nominee Tom Richards; former mayor and now party challenger Bill Johnson. PHOTOS BY MIKE HANLON

Former acting mayor Tom Richards handily won the Democrats’ nomination for mayor at Saturday’s Democratic convention. But former mayor Bill Johnson immediately jumped into intense campaign mode, working to get the 1500 petition signatures he’ll need to get on the ballot for the March 29 special election.

Johnson had hoped that if his party didn’t choose him, he would get the designation of a third party, which would eliminate the need for petitions. And in an interview on Tuesday, he said that he had been talking to most of the political parties that had a line available.

(The Greens have designated small-business owner Alex White as their candidate.) But, Johnson said, “there is tremendous pressure not to allow us on the line.” He declined to name who he’s had discussions with, saying that it would add more pressure.

The deadline for submitting petitions to the Board of Elections is only a few days away — Monday, February 14 — but on Tuesday, Johnson sounded confident. He and supporters plan to collect 2500 signatures, he said.

The tight window for circulating petitions is just one of the limitations the special election is imposing. Johnson — who has been a strong opponent of the special election — is himself a reluctant candidate. He and some other Democrats complained that Richards was being anointed rather than elected democratically.

And they have also charged that Richards’ selection is part of a plan to have City Council President Lovely Warren, a protégé of State Assembly member David Gantt, appointed as Richards’ deputy mayor. That could ease the path to her running for mayor in 2013. (Richards has vehemently denied the rumor.)

City

FEBRUARY 9-15, 2011

“I did everything in my power to find someone else to run,” Johnson said on Tuesday, “but they would have needed volunteers and media recognition, and they just weren’t prepared for it.”

Johnson — who committed to running only about three weeks ago — must also raise money and have promotional material produced for the campaign, something Richards has a head start on. And Richards will have the full weight of the party machinery supporting him.

“It’s an uphill fight,” Johnson agreed, “but it’s worth it.”

At Saturday’s Democratic Convention, held

at the Radisson Hotel, Richards received 62 percent of the weighted vote and Johnson received 35 percent. Johnson noted on Tuesday that some Democrats had given a commitment to Richards earlier, believing there would be no challenger, and that they could be reluctant to go back on their word.

In addition to Richards and Johnson, five other candidates vied for the Democratic nomination at the convention: perennial candidate Harry Davis, Joe Bogmis, Joseph Casimer, Marvis Ivey, and Anne Lewis. None of the five except Davis had publicly expressed interest in running for mayor prior to the Democrats’ convention. Davis received 1.35 percent of the votes; none of the others received any. (Despite not receiving the Democrats’ nomination, Davis will likely be on the ballot in March if he is able to collect enough petition signatures to run independently.)

Richards’ strongest support at the convention came from the 22nd legislative district committee (the center section of the city), led by State Assembly

member David Gantt; the 23rd (which includes southeast neighborhoods such as Park Avenue and Cobbs Hill), led by Allan Richards; and the 25th and 27th (southwest neighborhoods), led by County Legislator Calvin Lee and City Council member Adam McFadden respectively.

Johnson’s strongest support came from the 6th and 7th district committees (the Charlotte area), led by Felipe DeChateauvieux, and the 21st (northeast neighborhoods near Atlantic Avenue and East Main Street), led by Anthony Plonczynski.

There were also some close votes: Richards and Johnson tied in the 26th district committee (Maplewood), led by Darlene Kelly. And although Richards won the 24th (which includes some of the Highland Park area), Johnson was close behind.

In their speeches to the convention delegates, neither Richards nor Johnson went for the red-meat issues leading up to the convention. Richards talked about the importance of restoring a higher quality of living to the city. That may have been a thinly veiled reference to the blight that Main Street has become, but Richards never hinted at anything to do with Johnson and the ferry.

Johnson made a fiery speech that gave the convention its strongest resemblance to an election campaign rather than a housekeeping meeting. He promised to draw all of the area’s colleges into a symposium designed to brainstorm a strategy to get Rochester out of its doldrums and bring jobs back to the city. He also claimed the title as the election’s true lifelong Democrat, accusing Richards of making an eleventhhour clerical change to satisfy election rules. But he never brought up rumors of a

embraces among the 400 or so party leaders and committee members who descended on the Radisson Hotel on Saturday, there was undeniable tension, too. Some tension is to be expected; conventions, like elections, have winners and losers. But several committee leaders who asked not to be named said they were becoming increasingly disillusioned by the party’s leaders.

“You have some committee leaders that are fair and ethical, and they want their members heard,” said one committee leader. “Then you have others who bully and intimidate, and they tell members to vote like they’re told to. It’s really hurting the party.”

At the core of the dissension is Democratic Party Chair Joe Morelle’s early decision to push for a special election for mayor this spring rather than an appointed interim mayor followed by a general election in the fall. It was City Council’s decision to make, not Morelle’s, and Council chose a special election.

But Morelle had said he was concerned about stability at City Hall. Ironically, what he got was confusion and a bit of musical chairs in the mayor’s office — and division in his party.

Now, the drama and the decision move into voters’ hands. Richards has strong support in the business community.

Given his three terms as mayor, Johnson probably has better name recognition than Richards among much of the public, however. Whether, after five years out of office — and the controversy over the ferry — Johnson’s reputation is an advantage or not is difficult to tell.

It’s also difficult to tell whether Richards’ place on the Democratic line is an overwhelming advantage. In an ordinary election in heavily Democratic Rochester, it usually is. But this is no ordinary election.

Also an unknown: the effect of the thirdparty and independent candidates, who may siphon off voters who are upset about the special election but don’t like Johnson. It’s not likely that either White or Davis would be elected mayor, but their presence on the ballot could skew a close election.

In the end, then, this unusual election could have more drama than anyone anticipated when Bob Duffy headed to Albany in January.

SPRAWLING COMMUNITIES,

SPIRALING COSTS DEVELOPMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

Sprawl is costing New York.

Residential and commercial development has spread into and beyond the suburbs, consuming vast acres of green space at the expense of farmland and forests. It’s led to new or expanded roads, required the extension of water lines and sewage systems, and even forced fire departments to buy new equipment. Initial expenses and long-term maintenance of all this infrastructure means spending taxpayer money. Lots of it.

Suburban sprawl has emerged as a powerful social force, beginning at the end of World War II. It’s transformed people’s lives and stretched public resources. Sprawl keeps happening because governments not only allow it: they encourage it. The previous examples are just a start.

New York, however, has a new law that’s meant to curb the subsidization of sprawl where state funding is concerned.

This past summer, the Legislature passed the Smart Growth Public Infrastructure Policy Act. The name’s a mouthful, but the law is simple in concept.

The major state agencies, authorities, and public corporations that carry out or fund major infrastructure projects have had to establish smart-growth advisory committees. Those panels review their agencies’ major infrastructure projects or appropriations to check whether they’re consistent with smart-growth criteria.

“We’re not micromanaging projects the state’s not involved with,” says Assembly member Sam Hoyt, the Buffalo-area Democrat who was the prime sponsor of the bill in his chamber. “We’re saying that you have to meet certain standards or criteria to qualify and receive state funding.”

The law contains basic criteria for the

panels to use. Suppose that the State Department of Transportation wants to widen a road or reconfigure an intersection, for example — either of City

FEBRUARY 9-15, 2011

which would involve state money. The department’s smart-growth committee would take a look at the proposed project and compare it against criteria spelled out in the new law.

The criteria: • Does the project use, maintain, or enhance existing infrastructure?

• Is the project occurring in an already developed area? Is it at least proposed for an area that a community has selected for development in a comprehensive plan?

• Does it protect natural resources, agricultural land, and areas of historic or archaeological significance?

• Does it encourage mixed land uses and compact development; downtown revitalization; brownfield redevelopment; diverse and affordable housing close to places of employment, recreation, and commercial development; and integration of different age and economic groups?

• Does it improve access to and quality of public transit? Will it help to reduce dependence on automobiles?

• Does it encourage community involvement in planning? What about intergovernmental cooperation?

• Does it reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

The criteria are not absolute. The law allows for exceptions when projects are necessary but may be unable to conform.

The agency would have to show that it tried to bring the project in line with smart-growth tenets, and it’ll have to state why the project is necessary.

“I think it’s the flexibility that not only makes this possible politically, but when you’re asking every agency and authority in the state that’s got money to rethink how they spend every penny of it, you really don’t want to have an iron trap around them,” said Peter Fleischer, executive director of the smart-growth advocacy group Empire State Future, during a September interview.

The new smart-growth law, if it works

as intended, will have environmental benefits, but the criteria will also help prioritize infrastructure spending. It’s no secret that New York is in serious financial trouble. Officials say that they will have to be more judicious with the money they spend.

New York has about $96 billion in shovel-ready infrastructure projects: $32 billion of which relate to sewage systems, Fleischer says. Those projects will probably be done, he says, in $1 billion to $2 billion increments.

With suburban sprawl, communities ultimately duplicate services already offered in established communities and developed areas. And state taxpayers windup footing some of those bills, whether it’s to fund a state road-expansion project, or when the state gives a town a grant to extend water lines.

“What this [law] does is say we must consider that we don’t have enough infrastructure money to do everything, these dollars are very special, and that we have to use it for projects that really give us a bang for the buck for the future,” Fleischer says.

The best way to do that, he says, is to invest in existing infrastructure.

THE GOOD

The Newcroft Park development near Main Street and Atlantic Avenue in Rochester provides a good example of how to use state money in a way that’s consistent with smart-growth principles. The city cleaned up former construction yards that were next to a residential neighborhood, then sold the lots to developers. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

Newcroft Park Brownfield redevelopment may be the quintessential smart-growth project.

“We’re re-using existing infrastructure and reusing, typically, urban sites for redevelopment, as opposed to a new development in suburban, rural areas taking up farmland,” says State Assembly member Sam Hoyt, who was the primary Assembly sponsor of the state’s new smart-growth law.

Brownfields are abandoned or underused properties where redevelopment is complicated by contamination. The state has offered varying cleanup funding and incentives over the years, though at the moment it only offers tax breaks.

Over a decade ago, however, the state had an Environmental Restoration Program funded through a bond act. One of the first projects was a successful redevelopment effort in Southeast Rochester.

The city acquired seven acres of contiguous parcels bordered by East Main Street, Woodstock Road, Atlantic Avenue, and Akron Street. The properties, some of which were abandoned, consisted of construction yards and informal dumps that had been owned by several construction and development firms over the

years, say state Department of Environmental Conservation records and city accounts.

The largest parcel had been abandoned by a construction company that declared bankruptcy and owed the city back taxes.

As part of the cleanup effort, the city used state grant funding to remove underground storage tanks, remove construction and demolition debris, excavate and treat petroleumcontaminated soil, and treat contaminated groundwater.

Once that work was done, the site was redeveloped into approximately 25 new homes and is now the Newcroft Park development.

All of the lots sold in a matter of two weekends, increasing the city’s tax base by several million dollars. Neighboring homes also gained value.

If the grant funding were being issued today, it would be subject to an agency smart-growth panel review, says Peter Beyer, director of smart growth for the state Department of State. The funding probably would have been approved, he says, since the project appears to be in line with most of the criteria written into the law.

THE BAD Route 332 A decade ago, Route 332 in Ontario County was transformed from a simple two-lane state road into a four-lane divided highway.

The towns along the corridor, as wells as neighboring communities, were growing, and more and more traffic was using Route

332. The state Department of Transportation concluded that the road needed more capacity, so an expansion project began.

The project was meant to improve traffic flow through the corridor. But Route 332 continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

connects with I-90, which in turn connects with I-490 and I-390. By expanding Route 332, the state gave people an easier drive to Rochester and its suburbs. And that easier commute encourages people and businesses to move from developed areas in Rochester and its suburbs to outlying areas of Ontario County. That new development eats up open space and often requires new infrastructure such as water lines. At the same time, the Rochester region’s population hasn’t grown.

Project and regional planners all anticipated that the expansion project would drive an increase in development — commercial and residential — along and near the corridor. A 2004 Genesee Transportation Council analysis projected that 2,151 housing units would be built in that area by 2025; the projection for Farmington alone was 1,305 new housing units.

“Roadway infrastructure improvements to Route 332, as well as overall development trends, have combined to make the Route 332 Corridor one of the fastest growing parts of the Genesee-Finger Lakes Region,” said a follow-up GTC analysis from 2005.

The Route 332 corridor has seen some growth, though not as much as in the

projections. The towns of Canandaigua and Farmington have developed plans that target specific areas for growth in an attempt to limit and control how the corridor develops.

If the Route 332 project were proposed today, the DOT’s smart-growth advisory committee would consider the project’s potential to spread development and infrastructure away from already-developed areas. That doesn’t mean the panel would reject the project if it were under review, but the DOT might have had to provide compelling justification for the road’s expansion.

AN EXCEPTION? Webster water plant Might the state’s new smart-growth law have kept the Monroe County Water Authority from getting a state loan for its Eastside Water Supply Project?

Maybe. But maybe not.

That’s all hypothetical now, since the project is under construction. But it’s financed with $35.5 million in loans from the state’s drinking-water revolving fund. If it were a new project, that funding would be subject to review by one of the state’s smart-growth advisory committees.

Environmentalists and smart-growth advocates, led by the Rochester chapter of the Sierra Club, opposed the project, saying it was a sprawl enabler. The plant gives the Water Authority the ability to extend its service area, they say, and where water pipes go, development follows.

The Water Authority’s service area stretches from Monroe County into Genesee, Orleans, and Wayne counties. Authority officials have argued that the new plant is necessary for redundancy, security, and energy efficiency.

It’ll also help the authority meet future regional demands.

10 City FEBRUARY 9-15, 2011

The region’s water needs could have been a key issue in the smart-growth committee’s deliberations: the state’s been encouraging regional water-supply consolidation, and the Water Authority has been taking over town and village systems. “Smart growth is very often not a black-and-white proposition,” says Paul Beyer, director of smart growth for the New York State Department of State. Some situations, he says, will not be clear.

Projects like the Webster plant may be necessary. There have been instances, for example, where the Monroe County Water Authority took over municipal systems because their water sources became polluted or unusable. Authority officials say they need extra capacity to continue doing that in the future.

In short, the loans could have been denied because the project could encourage sprawl. But the authority and state agencies may have been able to justify an exception. They’d just have to prove that they made a good-faith effort to follow smart-growth principles.

Small indulgences [ REVIEW ] BY JAMES LEACH

Many years ago, shortly after I met my future wife, she confided one of her deepest fantasies to me: her description of a perfect date. Time has dimmed most of that memory, but what still stands out clear in my mind is the passing statement, “and the guy brings the girl chocolate.” Many women (and a fair number of men) love chocolate in that indecent and obsessive way that, in other contexts, is associated with restraining orders.

For all its other connotations, Valentine’s Day is a celebration of that chocolate lust. And in the depths of a punishing winter we could probably all use a little bit of the endorphin rush that chocolate provides.

But if the thought of joining the lockstep ranks at the grocery store on February 14 to pick up a heart-shaped box and a dozen longstemmed roses is starting to seem like a tired tautology, or if your bank balance isn’t robust enough to support dropping a c-note or two at a fancy restaurant, what are you going to do to make it to February 15 without looking like a schmuck? Here are a couple of local options for indulging your sweet tooth and your sweetheart at the same time.

If staying in sounds good, you could pick up the phone and call Jonathan Leach or his partner Jon Keltos, the owners of Jon-John’s Bakery, and ask them to deliver dessert to your home. In chocolate-lover circles Leach’s

Beyond Chocolate cake has a nearly cult-like following. The cake is so dark that it is nearly black, studded with chocolate chips, and held together with just enough flour to allow it to qualify as cake rather than pudding. Layered with chocolate ganache and topped with a dense and fudgy buttercream frosting, this cake is a chocophile’s dream.

For Valentine’s Day, Jon-John’s dresses its cakes up, baking them in heart-shaped pans and topping them with artful arrangements of edible flowers (allowing you to knock out two V-Day staples in one shot). For those that like a little less chocolate and a lot more sweet, you can get a similar cake with rich cream-cheese frosting atop red velvet cake, a combination of creamy white and an almost visceral red, the very essence of Valentine’s Day (sweetheart cakes in Beyond Chocolate or Red Velvet, $15 each).

If you’re not inclined to go with a cake, consider heart-shaped sugar cookies, or chocolate ganache-covered peanut-butter balls, or bourbon balls dusted with powdered sugar. You could order each of these treats separately, but if you really want to indulge yourself and the one you love, then your best bet is a gift basket with a dozen each of the cookies and the peanut-butter balls, along with a half-dozen bourbon balls. The bourbon balls are real stars. Each one incorporates about one full shot of bourbon, making them perhaps the highest proof dessert you are ever going to taste. If you can eat more than one

Day, why not skip straight to dessert and drop

by Chocolate & Vines on University Avenue.

Opened in November 2009 by New York City transplant Michael Goldberg and Oregon native Danielle Lewis, the place is, as its name implies, all about chocolate and wine. As Lewis recently observed, that means “we are Valentine’s Day.” But Chocolate & Vines is about more than just chocolate. It’s about small indulgences and sensual experiences. In addition to the judiciously selected wine list and the core selection of Norman Love artisan chocolates, Lewis and Goldberg also offer an assortment of cheeses and a small but very deep beer list.

Wine and chocolate are natural companions, particularly when you think of truffles and champagne, but Vines goes beyond pedestrian pairings to show just how exciting chocolate can really be. Bone-dry chianti paired with pistachio and macerated cherries enrobed in milk chocolate ($11.50); jammy syrah with dark chocolate and raspberry ($10); tawny port with a confection called a milk chocolate cinnamon roll (the spice and the fat in the chocolate bring out the smoky elements in the port; $11.50); and light, crisp pinot gris paired with white chocolate and key lime ($10.50) are all inspired choices.

Beer and chocolate make surprising companions, too. A double chocolate stout, deep brown and creamy with a lot of malt on the finish is a no-brainer paired with 72 percent Ecuadorian cacao ($8.50), but serving a complex Trappist ale with hazelnut praline and milk chocolate is a more inventive leap ($10.50), and suggesting a mint-chocolatechip truffle to complement a sour Belgian ale ($8.50) is a combination I wouldn’t have thought of, but one that works brilliantly.

Of particular interest this Valentine’s Day, Chocolate & Vines will be offering half bottles of Taittinger champagne alongside rose cupcakes. And, for those who are restricted to a gluten-free diet, it is serving a flourless chocolate cake paired with a gluten-free dubbel ale called Green’s Endeavor.

The service at Chocolate & Vines is superb, and the atmosphere — either in the tastefully decorated dining rooms or the slightly more casual pool room — is a perfect place for a tetea-tete at the end of the day, or perhaps the right place to start a night of small indulgences. rochestercitynewspaper.com City 13

More box in the monitor [ review ] by frank de blase

From the ashes of an unfortunate — or at least problematic — name The Public Market Band, formerly referred to as The Incontinentals, has started to branch out from its spot by the window at Java’s at the Market every Saturday morning. This band is full-blown ragamuffin, a gathering of hobos and gypsies that spend their weekdays chasing ambulances, educating our youth, and in the case of front man Dick Storms, corrupting them.

Artist Lucinda Storms paints with a cockeyed elegance. Her work is enthralling and slightly antagonistic. So The Public Market Band was the perfect choice to play her opening last Friday at the Record Archive, cardboard box, kitchen utensils, and all. I believe this was the band’s first time to be plugged into an honest-togoodness PA. It was exciting, like watching soldiers doing military maneuvers with live ammo for the first time. And there’s nothing quite like hearing a request for “more box in the monitor, please.”

Perhaps people don’t consider this a band, as it sort of threw itself together from an open jam’s hangers-on. Friday night’s performance put that criticism to rest. This band is swinging and righteous.

With Storms leading the charge with his lunchbox full of Mississippi saxophones

through Tin Pan Alley, the Big Easy, and the big sleazy, it’s just a matter of time before The Public Market Band is playing bar mitzvahs, boat christenings, weddings, executions, funerals, and house parties. I think it should make a record.

Speaking of records, Tommy Brunett made himself one recently, and it is one of my favorites from the last year. It should be; I’ve been watching him try to make this record for years, and coming pretty close with his band Spacetrucker or in other incarnations. Brunett finally nailed it with “Hell Or High Water.” Saturday night, he and his band shoe-horned themselves next to the Abilene jukebox to play cuts off the platter peppered with stream-of-conscious send-ups and rave-ups.

It’s one thing to merely cover a song, to cop out on its established glory. It’s quite another to take that song and make it your own without forsaking its spirit. I’m referring to The Stones’ “Dead Flowers,” which the band kicked off with a dose of last-ditch melancholy. Brunett stayed a little closer to the map with tunes like Billy Joe Shaver’s “Georgia On A Fast Train,” in which Shaver so eloquently puts, “With a good Christian raisin’ and an eighth-grade education, ain’t no need in y’all a-treatin’ me this way.” Amen.

Family matters Gerald Clayton Trio Saturday, February 12 Lutheran Church of the Reformation, 111 N. Chestnut St. 8 p.m. | $20-$30 | ExodusToJazz.com [ PROFILE ] BY RON NETSKY

Many of today’s top jazz artists adopted the music after being turned on by a great album, concert, or learning experience. Pianist Gerald Clayton was born into it. His father, bassist and arranger John Clayton, played in the Count Basie Orchestra before co-founding the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra. “I was exposed to the lifestyle behind the music,” says Clayton. “I saw a lot of sound checks and rehearsals and grown men showing each other so much love, just for the music.”

At the age of 26, Clayton, who plays Saturday as part of the Exodus To Jazz series, is one of the hottest young pianists on the scene. His first CD, “Two-shade,” was highly acclaimed, and last year he placed first among “Rising Stars” (Piano) in DownBeat magazine’s Critic’s Poll. The concert celebrates the release of his new album, “Bond.”

If his father’s musical prowess wasn’t enough, his mother, a linguistics professor at California State University, Northridge, is a classical pianist. His parents started him on the piano early but did not take a “Tiger Mother” approach.

“They were very good at not pressuring me into anything I didn’t want to do,” says Clayton, “but at the same time they instilled the idea that if I was going to play piano I should take it seriously.”

Clayton has early memories of falling asleep at concerts and recitals, but he was wide awake when, in third grade, “I played a talent show at my school. My dad wrote out a boogie-woogie for me. That performance brought me so much joy, to play and to feel the reaction of the crowd. They say it’s an addictive thing, and I think that’s when I caught the bug. It just felt right, like I’d be doing this for the rest of my life.”

Clayton’s father had been a protégé of Ray Brown, Oscar Peterson’s bassist. He was also artistic director at the Hollywood Bowl and when Peterson played there, Clayton was able to meet him and shake his hand. “I grew up with that music, singing along with ‘Night Train.’ That was my first memory of falling in love with records and thinking, This is the way the piano should be played. I just told him how much I loved his playing.”

As a teenager (and in college) Clayton

had three of the greatest piano teachers anywhere: Shelly Berg, Kenny Barron, and Billy Childs. Barron’s method was the most unorthodox.

“I’d go in and just play a duo with him,” says Clayton. “He would just play and play. I’d ask him, ‘What’s up Kenny? What kind of advice do you have? What do you think about my left hand? What should I be working on?’ And he said, ‘Just play, just play, you’re fine, just play.’ I got a lot from recording those lessons and listening to them afterwards and just watching him. He’s one of the most relaxed pianists ever. When he sits down at the piano he looks so Zen.” By 2006 Clayton was strong enough to qualify for the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.

ROOTS ROCK | Rosie Flores & the Rivetors

The last time Rosie Flores came to town it was with a broken arm, so the crowd couldn’t dig her six-string prowess.

But a busted wing in a sling didn’t stop her from rockin’.

Both arms are now operational, and Flores is back at it full throttle. The sounds of artists like Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, and The Everly Brothers initially shook her up, and by age 16 Flores was in her first band, the psychedelic all-girl Penelope’s Children. By the early 80’s she was slinging and singing in the punk-rockabilly outfit The Screamin’ Sirens. After that Flores went solo, writing her own stuff and covering classics from heroes like Wanda Jackson and Janis Martin. She recently sang back-up with Los Lobos on “The Tonight Show” and continues to push her latest album, “Girl of the Century.”

The show goes down Thursday, February 10, 8:30 p.m. at Abilene, 153 Liberty Pole Way. $10. 232-3230, abilenebarandlounge.com. — BY FRANK DE BLASE Liberty Pole Way. 232-3230. 8 p.m. Free.

AMERICANA | Donna the Buffalo

With more than 20 years of experience, impeccable musicianship, and uplifting, heady music, Donna the Buffalo has become one of the premier Americana and roots-rock outfits on the eastern seaboard, if not the whole country.

Led by the songwriting duo of vocalist-guitarist-fiddler-accordionist Tara Nevins and vocalist-guitarist Jeb Puryear, DTB produces music that is both supremely danceable and socially conscious, a combination that has earned the group a devoted following called The Herd. The band plays Rochester frequently and it’ll fill the bill with opening act the Roy Jay Band.

Donna the Buffalo plays Friday, February 11, 9 p.m. at Water Street Music Hall, 204 N. Water St. $20-$25.

ROCK | Valentine’s Day Massacre

It’ll be the end of an era, as the Valentine’s Day Massacre celebrates its 10th and final chapter by going out with a bang. Or, more accurately, a whole evening full of bangs, with past participants like Skull, the Teenage Girls, the Grinders, Yogi Lewis and the Knewz, and the recently reformed (but not reformed) Blastoffs spanning the previous nine years to bring you a bouquet of their favorite cover tunes about love and other gushy stuff. Plus, the last Massacre also means your farewell fling with local supergroup VD Clinic. But don’t be sad. Remember: ’tis better to have rocked and lost than never to have rocked at all.

The 10th Annual Valentine’s Day Massacre takes place Saturday, February 12, 10 p.m. at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $5-$7. 454-2966, bugjar.com.

JAZZ | Jeff Campbell w/Dawn Thomson

If you are a jazz fan in Rochester, you have no doubt heard the superb bass playing of Jeff Campbell. At the Eastman School of Music, Campbell is associate professor of jazz studies and contemporary media, but that would not mean a thing if he… you know the rest. Whether he’s with Marian McPartland, Gene Bertoncini, or Trio East, Campbell can be counted on for solid bass lines and inventive solos. When he takes the stage at Kilbourn Hall he’ll be joined by the wonderful guitarist and singer Dawn Thomson in a program titled “The Music of Jim Hall.” The show will feature compositions by and associated with Hall, but also some tunes by Campbell and Thomson.

Jeff Campbell and Dawn Thomson perform Monday, February 14, 8 p.m. at Kilbourn Hall, 26 Gibbs St. Free-$10.

From Vocals to Viola bring your instrument

Night at the museum [ THE SOPHISTICATE ] BY SANTOSHA KUYKENDALL

It was a casual affair for a place so full of still life and allegory. Or maybe it was pretty buttoned up, given how the feng shui of the surroundings must be nudged toward chaos by the exhibited Pollack and the hidden Manets.

Viewed from that angle, perhaps it’s surprising that the spinning paint hadn’t driven anyone to pee into the fountain, and that everyone who wasn’t made of stone was wearing clothes.

In fact, the people enjoying Max at the Gallery Tapas Night at the Memorial Art Gallery were not only fully clothed, they were all sitting rather decorously in their wrought-iron chairs. If there were any bohemian artists present, their conduct remained so firmly within the strictures of polite society that they were indistinguishable from the crowd, which was mostly made up of 30somethings on dates, older women reading while they waited for friends, and groups of younger women who might have been in an exclusive sorority for the well-heeled and well-bred sometime within the past decade.

There was only one free table left when I got to the MAG at 6 p.m. It was located arm’s length from a table where two young guys put out an effortlessly hip vibe. Cowed by their intimidating cool, I stared at the floor while using my empty coat to secure the free table. Then I escaped to catalog the food while waiting for my friend.

There were three kinds of white wine and two kinds of red, all steady, unpretentious varieties, and all $6 a glass. Soft drinks and beer were also available, although the beer selection seemed to consist mostly of bottles of Genny Light. (Other varieties are available, I was assured.)

The food and drink is provided by Max at the Gallery. The menu is still evolving — more complicated items are in the works, according

to Max’s Tony Gullace — but when I went, the offerings were not aggressively Spanish, despite their designation as tapas. In fact, the food seemed to have been inspired by some combination of the art upstairs and the babushkas on the other side of the ocean.

Rembrandt could have painted with pigments taken from the olives, while sculptors might have been tempted to take up a paring knife and liberate distressed maidens or Roman dignitaries from the marble-like cheeses. The torta was covered by a flame-colored romesco sauce that could have slipped effortlessly into the wardrobe of a pre-Raphaelite beauty. There was also pickled-beet salad with feta, a dish that reminded me to go look at one of my very favorite MAG paintings, “The Fiery Ascent of Elijah,” a gorgeous, anonymous 16th-century Russian work tucked into an obscure corner of a second-floor room.

These $4 plates of tapas, which included all of the items above and then some, featured the kind of portions that are usually dished up with the admonition that you need to “eat, eat, look how skinny you are.”

While I was eating, the two hip young men at the next table got up, sauntered over to the fountain, and got out a stringed bass and a saxophone. They began to play jazz, so casually you could almost believe they had gotten tired of talking and people watching, and just decided to play a few sets to help the evening pass more pleasantly.

Max at the Gallery Tapas Night occurs every Thursday just inside the main entrance to the Memorial Art Gallery (500 University Ave). Tapas and drinks are served 5-8 p.m., the gallery is open until 9 p.m., and gallery admission is half-price ($5 for adults). For more information call 276-8900 or visit mag.rochester.edu.

Art Exhibits

with carefully applied copper patina, they truly resemble worn metal, bearing a history and set within a frame as a relic. Viewers can also catch a peek at Jurs in the studio, in the 19-minute film looping in the round room, which documents her creation of “Triad,” the installation that was removed from the Greater Rochester International Airport in 2006.

Passing the torch “Mentors & Makers” Through March 13 Rochester Contemporary Art Center, 137 East Ave. Wed-Sun 1-5 p.m. | $1 | 461-2222, rochestercontemporary.org [ ART REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Rochester Contemporary’s annual “Mentors and Makers” exhibition shows off the caliber of artist-educators affiliated with our region’s colleges and universities, and the work of artists they have trained and influenced. All four artists in this year’s exceptional show have ties with RIT: three are graduates and one teaches within the school and is an artist-in-residence.

The work of artists and married couple Wendell Castle and Nancy Jurs, and their former students Tom Lacagnina and Bethany Krull, vary greatly in style and theme, but each piece in this exhibit is a testament to extreme dedication to craftsmanship, the mastering of materials, as well as the exploration of the complex world through creative expression.

World-renowned craftsman, artist, and educator Wendell Castle contributed three works to the exhibit, ranging in function from an organically formed chair, to a monolith of a time piece, to a cherry-red sports car of a rocking chair. The shape of the legs on the latter work, “Temptation Rocker,” is in fact a nod to the exaggerated forward-leaning motion of an animated racing automobile, as the artist 24 City february 9-15, 2011

explained at the February 6 artist talk at the gallery. The large rocking chair is a work of wood buried in silicon-finished fiberglass, all fluid lines and elongated elliptical base, and a fun play on the kinetic nature of the swaying seat.

Castle’s other chair, “Rainbow Fire,” is a richly dark organic bench of Peruvian walnut with an oil finish; unpainted, it clearly shows off his woodworking skills. The functional “Topeka Clock” is made up of two large polychromed fiberglass and urethane pieces: the low and leaning donut hints at the feminine and is accented with shimmering pink flecks all over its off-white surface, and the planer, erect masculine counterpart stands taller than the viewer and has a ring of golden numbers on its tapered cap, which rotates as it keeps time.

In the round room at the rear of the space, viewers can appreciate the 28-minute film of an absorbed Castle on-project in 1964.

Nancy Jurs is wife to Wendell Castle, a graduate of RIT, educator, and a famed artist in her own right. Ten works of clay and reclaimed objects line the long wall of the gallery, each a clay torso within a frame that resembles a lifesized armored chest plate or an animal face, some slipping easily between the two. This is intentional; Jurs describes them as manifestations of some things she feels protective over: girls and animals. The armor is too narrow for a man, and could easily be seen on a young woman.

“Illusion,” for example, has tiny slits in the chest that might be eyes, and “No Fear” looks exactly like the face of a bat. The surface of each of the works is marked upon in a different way, and

and accomplished craftsman Tom Lacagnina explores form as well as unanswerable concepts in his woodwork. In some of his pieces, the Alfred University School of Art & Design professor emeritus tries to retain the original outer shapes, and gouges out the inner material. “I’d Rather Drink Muddy Water” shows off the organic shape of a tree trunk while transforming its bulk into a featherweight by comparison; stripped of bark and entirely smooth, the naked log is also hollow, and every inch of its insides is marked with long, rippling gouges. Propped up by a metal stand to lie on its side at eye-level, viewers can peer through the tunnel at one another. “The Way Light Hits a Fluted Column” is again carved from a single tree trunk, a tall, fluted column where only the outer ridges remain, with negative space standing in for the center, and the spaces between the ridges form a narrow cage of sorts.

Other works by Lacagnina include “Where My Secret Desires Lie Hidden,” two separate works of men made of wood climbing a thin golden ladder or thin golden staircase to a platform with a golden door cracked open, beckoning.

The youngest member of the show by decades, former student of Nancy Jurs and emerging artist Bethany Krull already has an impressive resume filled with residencies, exhibitions, and institutions that have collected her work, and she currently serves as ceramics instructor at Goggleworks in Reading, Pennsylvania. Krull’s work in this show is mainly porcelain, with some cast bronze and other materials used for staging. Her art expresses her interest in the complicated relationship between humans and nature, most specifically in this case with animals we have attempted to domesticate.

In exploring the give-and-take complexities, “Dominance and Affection” nails Krull’s thesis and easily moves the viewer emotionally. From this body of work, “Surrogate” is by far the most captivating, a colorless porcelain sculpture of a baby monkey piggy-backing and clutching a stuffed toy monkey given to it as a surrogate mother. The creature comes alive with a wideeyed stare and tiny, delicately clawed fingers striving to learn the face of its “mother,” as every infant does. Krull’s “In Servitude” Nos. 1-8 are oversized porcelain beetles, their bubble-bodies mirrored by the burden of the earthenware pottery strapped to their backs.

Andy Warhol and his Factory straddled a thin line between clever cultural statement and prolonged, dangerous debauchery. From the outside, any flashy celebrity lifestyle appears to be the epitome of power and desirability, but any complex human on the inside will contradict this; loss of control and addiction to oblivion is no way to live — just ask Charlie Sheen.

In 1966, young movie editor, experimental filmmaker, and Warhol Factory partaker Danny Williams traveled from Manhattan to his family’s home in Rockport, Massachusetts, where he mysteriously disappeared when out for an evening walk, though his clothes were found neatly folded on a rock in a cove weeks later.

Esther B. Robinson (pictured) grew up with the ghost of her uncle Danny, and her family’s silent treatment on the topic. As an adult, Robinson fought the Museum of Modern Art to gain access to Williams’s films in the museum’s Warhol collection. This eventually resulted in her creation of the haunting documentary, “A Walk into the Sea: Danny Williams and The Warhol Factory,’’ in which Robinson has combined fragments of Williams’s film work with “prickly family reminiscences and hazy recollections from Factory survivors,” per the Little Theatre’s press release.

On Thursday, February 10, at 6:30 p.m., the Little Theatre and Rochester Contemporary Art Center will present the acclaimed documentary, followed by a talkback with RIT instructor Alan Singer and Ryan Conrath, Warhol expert and doctoral student of visual and cultural studies at the University of Rochester.

SPECIAL EVENT | Valentine’s Day Events

Even though I am one half of a pair, I’m sort of the Valentine’s Day equivalent of the Grinch. It’s not easy to be a mate, and I believe love is a decision made daily, not to be celebrated once a year with purchases. I could fill this space with disdainful commentary on commercial-opportunist sappiness, but instead I’ll just advise those lucky enough to be paired up to take a moment apart from the stress-filled bustle to really look at each other and make your mutual appreciation known. If you do decide to go out and celebrate, here are some romance-y events supplied by local organizations.

DANCE | “Danser et Voler”

The RIT/NTID Dance Company will present a new multimedia dance performance, “Danser et Voler” (to dance and to fly), which kinetically celebrates the theories of Galileo, Newton, and Einstein to defy ideas of gravity, and promises a mystical, creative experience.

The show is choreographed and directed by Thomas Warfield, with performances by both deaf and hearing dancers, and will combine numerous dance styles from classical to hip-hop with circus stunts, live music, magic, illusions, flying, 3D projections, and audience interaction.

The show will take place Thursday-Saturday, February 10-12, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, February 13, at 2 p.m. in Robert F. Panara Theatre on the first floor of NTID’s LBJ building at Rochester Institute of Technology (Lomb Memorial Dr., park in lot L).

SPECIAL EVENT | Lakeside Winter Celebration

With the bitter-blowing winds and the repeated snow smacks, it’s tempting to just stay inside when work or food acquisition doesn’t command otherwise. But fresh air is necessary for both sanity and heath, and besides, your rosy cheeks are cute.

Stay active (and social) on Sunday, February 13, 11 a.m.-4 p.m., and join other playful people at Ontario Beach Park and the Port of Rochester Terminal (1000 River Street) for the free, family-friendly 27th Annual Lakeside Winter Celebration.

This year’s activities include the mobile recreation center, Rec on the Move, with a variety of fun winter activities for kids and families, including free snowshoe lessons. City staff will lead a winter hike along the Genesee Riverway Trail, starting from the Terminal entrance at 1 p.m.

In the Port Terminal you can check out the second annual Lake Ontario Ice Wine Festival and Farmers Market, featuring wine, maple syrup, cider, jams and jellies and winter produce available for purchase. The Chilly Chili Challenge will run noon-3 p.m., with professional and amateur chefs serving up their meaty concoctions.

Use your powers of crazy good: the 11th Annual Polar Plunge (with the highly competitive and crowd-pleasing costume contest) kicks off at noon, during which more than 1000 participants dive into the icy waters of Lake Ontario (pictured) to help raise funds for the New York Special Olympics. For more information or to register, visit polarplunge.net or call 586-7400 ext. 105.

Registration begins at 8 a.m. for the annual snow sculpture contest with cash prizes; this year the theme is “Creatures from the Deep.” Other activities will include a dogsled demonstration, snowshoe demonstrations and lessons, live music, free horse-drawn sleigh rides, and children’s games.

For more information: call 311 (or 428-5990) or the City’s Bureau of Recreation at 428‑6770; visit cityofrochester.gov for the complete schedule of events and pre-registration for certain events. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

RECREATION | Owl Moon

When we diurnal creatures retire for the evening, our nocturnal counterparts awaken, though their activities remain arcane to most of us. For three consecutive Saturdays, from February 12 to 26, the Genesee Country Village & Museum’s Nature Center in Mumford will host Owl Moon, a special nighttime event that will afford the curious an opportunity to learn more about some creatures of the night. The event includes a live presentation on owl behavior, habitat, and lifestyle by naturalist Ron Walker from Friends with Feathers, Inc. Bundle up for a moonlit guided walk (tours begin at 6 p.m. and depart every half hour through 8:30 p.m.) through the wintry woods, and open those ears for screech owls and great-horned owls. Hooting lessons are also available if you want to try to converse with the raptors. The moon will be full on February 18, so clear skies allowing, February 19 will be the brightest Saturday night to trek. Later on, sit by a campfire for marshmallow roasting, hot cocoa, and a reading of the nature story “Owl Moon” by Jane Yolen.

Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for ages 4-16, seniors 62+ & students with ID. Members receive $2 off the admission prices. For tickets or more information, call 294-8218 or visit gcv.org. Each tour has a limit of 20 people and reservations are required. — REBECCA RAFFERTY

Another journey to the center of the earth [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“Sanctum” (R), directed by Alister Grierson Now playing

The new movie “Sanctum,” produced by James Cameron, employs its 3-D techniques to explore inner rather than outer space, something of a different direction for both the filmmaker and the method. Inspired, the credits announce, by a true story, the picture chronicles the work of a team of explorers who venture into the Esa Ala Caves in Papua New Guinea, apparently the deepest and least known caverns in the world. Through a series

of mishaps the expedition evolves from a scientific investigation to a story of a desperate attempt to survive some terrible dangers and escape from the depths to the world above.

The camera pans over the large collection of advanced technology both above and below the surface that supports the team’s mission — communication devices, computers, television cameras, sophisticated illumination equipment, and a quantity of underwater diving apparatus, all of which serve important functions in the plot. The scuba gear proves the most important of all the paraphernalia, since much of the narrative involves numerous underwater sequences, with characters negotiating difficult passages through flooded caverns.

A cyclone hits the area, flooding the caves, blocking their escape routes, and forcing the team to search for some way out. That search turns into a perilous journey through an endless series of flooded tunnels, narrow openings, and occasional stretches of rugged terrain, so that the team swims

through great depths of water, squeezes through impossibly constricted holes, and even climbs subterranean mountains.

Naturally, a tale of the adventures of a group of endangered people in an impossibly difficult situation needs something more than the mere effort to survive, so the script supplies some complications of character and some shifting internal dynamics in the group of explorers.

Most of those complications grow out of the personality and behavior of the mission’s chief, Frank McGuire (Richard Roxburgh), a famous explorer and adventurer who has risked his life all over the world and runs the operation like a tyrant. His son Josh (Rhys Wakefield) reluctantly obeys his father’s commands but regards him as a cruel and intransigent leader willing to sacrifice other people’s lives to achieve his goals.

When the cyclone hits and floods the caves, incidentally killing some members of the team, Frank devises an escape plan that demands heroic effort, obedience, and cooperation from the survivors. The search for a way out ultimately takes an enormous toll, with a body count that rivals any self-respecting horror film. The deaths include a couple of drownings, one fatal fall from a rope, a suicide, and two mercy killings, which seems excessive under the circumstances.

The sanctum of the title apparently refers to Frank’s quasi-religious sense of his expedition and the caverns themselves, some of them vast and impressive enough to warrant his

comparing them to cathedrals. He feels a sense of awe and triumph when he reaches the great depths where no human being has ever set foot, the last undiscovered place on Earth.

Once it establishes its situation with a good deal of clumsy, mechanical exposition and barely acceptable acting, “Sanctum” settles into tiresome repetition of its physical action and its personal conflicts. The people thread through claustrophobically small spaces, swim great distances underwater for great lengths of time, encounter one impossible obstacle after another, periodically run out of oxygen, and constantly quarrel with Frank’s management style. Every single person, out of a colossally uninteresting cast, appears frozen into one mode of characterization, one style of speech, one note of content, without the slightest alteration, resulting in a sameness as depressing as all those dark depths and perilous tunnels.

The three-dimensional effects proceed with predictable skill and success, magnifying the claustrophobia to an occasionally uncomfortable point. Instead of the usual set ups and framing, the camera frequently reverses the shots, so that instead of objects and people coming toward the audience, the frame shows the actors swimming away from the viewer, a surprisingly effective and engaging variation of the 3-D tradition. Aside from that small bit of originality, “Sanctum” rapidly runs out of intellectual and emotional content, but doggedly keeps on swimming along.

“The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness,” Ben Franklin once said; “You have to catch it yourself.”

Yet Nathaniel Hawthorne likened happiness to a butterfly, “which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”

That both men are correct is one of the mysteries of happiness, an intangible whose presence we may not always appreciate but whose absence we feel keenly. British filmmaker Mike Leigh addressed this topic in his last film, “Happy-Go-Lucky,” in which working-class life threw everything it had at the unstoppably cheerful Sally Hawkins, her giggly buoyancy masking a defiant optimism. Happiness, along with the lack thereof, also plays a pivotal role in Leigh’s latest, “Another Year,” a knowing, poignant drama about a contented couple

and the miserable souls who orbit around their grounded strength.

Leigh veterans Ruth Sheen and Jim Broadbent star as Gerri and Tom, a loving couple, hovering right near 60, who really do seem to have it all: comfy home, rewarding careers, and a warm, respectful rapport that is clearly the envy of their lesssettled friends. Gerri and Tom spend much of their free time at the community garden, bringing the fruits (and vegetables) of their labor home to nourish others in need of more than just food. The dinner guest that we see the most of is Mary (Lesley Manville, from Leigh’s splendid “TopsyTurvy”), Gerri’s longtime co-worker and, well, kind of a mess. A faded beauty of that dreaded “certain age,” the divorced Mary typically begins her visits as a bubbly chatterbox, but by evening’s end she’s sloshing around in wine-drenched self-pity, wondering where it all went wrong.

“Another Year” divides itself into four parts corresponding with the seasons, beginning with the bright possibility of spring and closing in the cold and lonely winter. And while Mary’s trajectory over the course of that year seems to follow nature’s path, the bond between Gerri and Tom remains evergreen. More attention will be paid to the showier acting around them, but it’s the generosity of Broadbent and especially Sheen that makes the other performances possible. The Oscar-winning Broadbent lends things his typical jovial bluster, playing outspoken cop to the adorably bunny-faced Sheen, whose Gerri handles their troubled friends using the same shrewd care that she brings to her job as a therapist. With their instinctive communication and casual contentment, Gerri and Tom have the kind of relationship to which many aspire.

Unfortunately, however, most of us are more like Mary, who is too focused on what she wants to deal with the reality of what she has. We’ve all likely been where Mary is, slurring over a lost love or trying

desperately to connect with someone, and that’s what makes Manville’s performance so compelling. (The sad but sweet pas de deux between Manville and David Bradley as Tom’s grief-stricken brother is stunning.) To be honest, Manville does veer dangerously close to caricature as the sozzled cougar, but Leigh’s legendary improvisational methods, in which his players develop their own characters, inevitably allow for a rich, vital humanity even in the face of cliché. How many directors put the actors’ names before their own in the credits? Trust always gets results.

I love computer-generated Pixar

masterpieces as much as the next overgrown child, but it’s hard not to get a bit wistful these days when presented with hand-drawn animation. And the nostalgia may hit some viewers even harder when they see Sylvain Chomet’s Academy Award nominee “The Illusionist,” which he adapted from an unproduced script by the late French comedy icon Jacques Tati. (For others, that nostalgia may only go back a couple months, to the Dryden Theatre’s recent Tati series.) Opening in 1959, “The Illusionist” pays tribute to the nearly extinct music halls of Europe through the tale of a journeyman conjurer who finds renewed purpose in a Scottish teenager who believes in his magic.

But this is not a love story; reportedly inspired by Tati’s regret over a daughter he neglected, “The Illusionist” unfolds as Tatischeff takes Alice under his paternal wing, providing for her as she grows into a sophisticated young woman. Unfolding without any real dialogue, the best parts of “The Illusionist” evoke its slapsticky inspiration, with Tatischeff lurching his way through a world that’s moving too fast for him. Chomet — he also made 2003’s rollicking “The Triplets of Belleville” — paints things in a gorgeously retro palette of muted colors and fuzzy lines, confirming that they do make them like they used to.

THE BIG LEBOWSKI Friday, Feb. 11, 8 p.m.

Jeff Bridges is “The Dude,” who, on a mission to replace a prized rug, uncovers a mystery and has help from bowling pals Walter (John Goodman) and Donny (Steve Buscemi) to solve it. This crazy cult hit from the Coen Brothers also stars Julianne Moore, Sam Elliott, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and John Turturro as Jesus. (Joel Coen, US 1998, 117 min.)

SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS Saturday, Feb. 12, 8 p.m.

Movies for movie lovers, 6 nights a week.

The Dude abides!

In Smalltown, Kansas, Deanie (Natalie Wood) is fatally in love with college-bound scholar Bud (Warren Beatty). As their relationship deteriorates, Deanie’s methods of seduction turn extreme and lead her toward a nervous breakdown. Kazan’s complex and compelling psychosexual drama is one of the screen’s quintessential depictions of the malaise and confusion of American youth. (Elia Kazan, US 1961, 124 min.)

Breathtaking in Browncroft 305 Yarmouth Road The handsome stucco house at 305 Yarmouth Road, built in 1923, is located in one of the city’s most attractive and desirable neighborhoods: the Browncroft Historic District. From 1914 into the 1930s, Browncroft Realty Corporation constructed more than 400 houses of solid and quality construction—with many designed by the top architects of the day. These houses were set in a uniform park-like landscape that is today notable for its flowering shrubs and mature shade trees. 305 Yarmouth combines Tudor details with the Colonial Revival style: solid stucco columns flank the entry and support a window bay with false half-timbering.

Handsome slate roofing and slate hoods above the front first-floor windows are sure to impress.

Containing 2,424 square feet and built of quality materials, the house has been well maintained throughout its eighty-eight-year history. One of the most attractive exterior features is the vertical-paneled wood front door, which has a warm natural finish and distinctive strap hinges. The interior is notable for its leadedglass windows with transoms and beautifullyfinished, narrow, oak flooring. To the right of the central hall is the living room, which has a wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookcases.

A leaded-glass door leads to a bright sunroom with access to the backyard through another leaded-glass doorway. To the left of the hallway is a dining room with paired windows on the front and side walls inviting ample natural light.

The kitchen embodies one of several recent upgrades made to this house and is a cook’s

dream with beautiful floor and wall tiles, granite counter tops, painted wood cabinets, and a commercial-grade stove. A corner alcove with windows looking out to the backyard provides a pleasant eat-in area.

The second floor has three large bedrooms, all with several full-size or half windows as well as oak floors. The full bath, another major upgrade, features tile floors and wainscoting, a double sink, tub and separate shower. The second, smaller full bath, located off the master bedroom, has a tub and similar tile details.

The finished third floor is reached by carpeted stairs. Here are two more potential bedrooms, play areas, or offices containing cathedral ceilings with ceiling fans, enclosed undereave storage spaces, built-in bookcases, end windows, as well as a separate thermostat.

The detached two-car garage has a distinctive new door. The private back yard is bordered by mature trees, shrubs and flower beds.

Neighborhood amenities include an active neighborhood association (www.browncroftna. org); friendly sidewalk-lined streets for walking; a nearby neighborhood park; shops, restaurants and services on North Winton Road; and Ellison Park is just a minute’s drive to the west. This fine property is being offered at $259,900. Contact Reinhardt Brucker, RealtyUSA, at (585) 3814400 for more information.

If you fail to re­spond to the summons and complaint in this foreclosure action, you may lose your home.

Please read the sum­mons 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 organiza­tions that you may con­tact for information about possible options, includ­ing trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an en­tity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Banking Department 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 servic­ es 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.
