SHOULD boycott Sochi: Very simple. The IOC had no business allowing this anti-gay, hate-driven nation to host the games, knowing full well about Russia’s so-called “gay propaganda” anti-gay laws.

Supporting the athletes, for me, means sending a clear message to the IOC to think first before giving such a hateful nation the rights to host the games. I personally hope these Winter Games fail miserably!

FEBRUARY 12-18, 2014

It’s surprising to me (or maybe not) that Mary Anna Towler’s “Still Seeking Solutions to City School Problems” (Urban Journal) neglects to mention one entity that has been a constant throughout the Rochester School System’s demise: Rochester Teachers Association president Adam Urbanski.

For over 25 years, Mr. Urbanski has exerted strong influence over what happens in the city schools. While he has delivered enviable benefits to his teacher constituents, the district has for the same 25 years continued its slide into becoming one of the state’s lowest performing and most expensive systems. While school boards and superintendents turn over periodically, Mr. Urbanski continues to work to obstruct change and to maintain the status quo.

It seems obvious to me that Mr. Urbanski and his close cadre of officers need to be replaced by a president and staff that is willing to work with all parties to

implement innovative, meaningful changes in the system. No other private or public enterprise would tolerate the continuance of officers during such a prolonged period of non-performance. Replacing Mr. Urbanski, who is an artifact in a failed system, cannot possibly have negative impact on the schools.

I would hope that many concerned teachers would agree and take corrective action. If it is really about the children, how could they not?

BOB POLHEMUS, MENDON

You say that we have tried every idea around and “things have gotten worse” with the academic performance of the Rochester City School District.

You are right.

If everything has failed, what now?

We could consider an educational format like a countywide school district where we can maximize opportunity and disperse the poverty and create engagement – like the Charleston County School District today, (74 percent graduation rate, 45 percent white, 43 percent black, 12 percent other). On its 50-year anniversary of desegregation, the superintendent proclaimed, “We confirm that equity will always exist!” Can we in Monroe County and Rochester, New York, say the same?

The “countywide school district” concept was brought up at the October 13 “GradNation” Rochester community assembly (sponsored by the Rochester Area Community Foundation) and was met with positivity. Is there any follow-up?

In the meantime, we could build upon the cool things already happening that work, like expanding the successful Urban Suburban program and make it not just Urban Suburban, but also Suburban Urban. There are excellent opportunities in the city as well as the suburbs to share cross-county Whatever the solutions, we all countywide must share the burdens and benefits of living in this magnificent city and county.

We need to break down the walls, communicate with resolve, and shoulder the problems

we share collectively in our county, most notably, our city’s overwhelming poverty and the effect on our children and our entire community.

Our Warren interview

Your headline is amusing when you state the mayor is trying to overcome “early bad publicity” (“Warren’s Rough Honeymoon,” News). The mayor has received no bad publicity; the mayor committed a major faux pas when she appointed a relative to a city job.

The mayor should know better.

Is she really that naive? She’s an attorney, for goodness sake! Can you really not call her careless error what it is? Gosh, what a ride we’re in for these next four years!

IVAN RAMOS, ROCHESTER

On Mayor Lovely Warren’s suggestion that a new first-run theater downtown wouldn’t compete with the Little Theatres (“Warren’s Rough Honeymoon”):

I moved to Rochester from California via North Carolina in 1991 and have lived in the City of Rochester ever since, including 20 years in the 19th Ward. The Little is one treasure of the city and does, indeed, show blockbusters.

I’m shocked that the mayor of our great city is unaware of the diversity of entertainment at this great theater. My recollection is that in the past the Little fought to recognize Rochester as a market separate from Pittsford and Penfield and other suburbs so that they had a fair chance at such blockbusters.

More shocking is the mayor’s vision of greatness for city residents.

Unless I misunderstand her, she seems to suggest that being able to “see a Number 1 blockbuster” is to “be able to experience the greater parts of life”! The films I’ve seen at the Little and the Dryden associated with events like the High Falls Film festival have given me more experience of the greater parts of life than seeing a Batman film at the Little.

I hope our mayor dreams big for the city and for its residents.

I hope she learns more about what our city already offers before pointing to what it allegedly lacks.

Part Time or Full Time considered.

Any of the following skills helpful, but not neccessary: • Retail experience • Antiques knowledge • Decorating skills

A place with no vision I’m trying to pull myself out of my funk here, but I’m not making much progress. I just hate to see a community like this one waste its potential when it has so much.

A couple of things set this off. One is that yet again, there’s a little buzz about government “consolidation.” The governor says we have too many levels of government (which we do). And so politicians and editorial writers are suggesting that some of our little bitty separate governments find ways to “cooperate” – share services, maybe.

The impetus, of course, is to save money. Keep taxes from going up. And yes, New Yorkers do pay higher taxes than many people do. And that may indeed be due partly to the number of individual local governments we support.

But that’s not the principal reason we’re lagging behind many areas of the country. It’s not the principal reason we should be talking about change. And our discussion should go way beyond sharing fire and police services.

We could be a much stronger region if we actually consolidated: if we had some form of metropolitan government. A good start would be some kind of regional land-use and development planning.

If we weren’t fighting with each other for development, if every municipality in the county shared the same tax base and service costs, Irondequoit wouldn’t care whether Medley Centre got redeveloped. Instead, taxpayers in Irondequoit are desperate to have something happen there.

And in fact none of us – Irondequoit, Brighton, Greece, the City of Rochester – would be racing to give tax breaks to businesses to lure them or keep them.

Instead, every municipality – and the County of Monroe – is trying to protect its rear. I don’t blame them. Given the system they’ve been given, this is what they think they have to do.

We don’t have to accept that system. But change would require a vision of something bigger. A real community vision.

We don’t have that vision. And tragically, we have no leaders in government with that kind of vision. We have no vision at all.

And then there’s the situation with Rochester schools. A couple of weeks ago, I engaged in a little windmill tilting, suggesting that every segment of the Rochester community ought to stop blaming everybody else for the Rochester school district’s problems and should focus first on cleaning up their own house. That we first cast out the beam in our own eye, as the New Testament puts it, before we start worrying about the speck in our brother’s eye.

That column got some reaction. But it was mostly just more of the same. More finger-

There is a connection, of course, between the crisis in Rochester’s schools and the limited vision this region has for itself. We like our little separate towns and villages. We want our little separate governments. And boy, do we want our separate school districts.

We’re comfortable with segregation.

We’re content to keep a heavy concentration of Rochester’s poorest families bottled up inside city neighborhoods. We’ll volunteer, support the United Way, and donate mittens and school supplies. But welcome lots of those families and their children into the suburbs? Not on your life.

Like a certain homegrown company I could name, we’re comfortable doing what we’ve always done. That continues to work for many of us, for the moment. But if we stepped back and took a cold, hard look, we would see two things: 1) We’re doing a lot of damage, to the poor in Rochester’s Crescent neighborhoods and to thousands of children, whose potential we are blithely snuffing out.

2) As a region, we’re headed down a path to economic and social disaster.

Without strong, visionary leadership generating strong public will, we can’t reverse course. And it’s not hard to predict what lies ahead.

Detroit didn’t become what it is today overnight.

Senecas eye casino site

More full day pre-K

Henrietta Supervisor Jack Moore told the Democrat and Chronicle that the Seneca Nation of Indians has identified a possible casino site in the town.

Moore said the site is located in a commercial district bordered by Jefferson Road, West Henrietta Road, and I-390.

The majority of the city’s 4 year olds — about 70 percent — transitioned from half day to full-day pre-kindergarten. The expansion was made possible by a $5.9 million state grant. Children who attend pre-K do much better in school and are more likely to graduate, school officials say.

Hardaway guilty

Brenda Hardaway pleaded guilty to second-degree assault. A video that surfaced last summer showed Hardaway struggling with a Rochester police officer. The officer’s decision to subdue the then-pregnant Hardaway by striking her in the back of the head prompted outrage from some residents, clergy, and social-justice groups. Hardaway has since given birth to a son.

Overcoming a polluted past

Regents may slow Common Core New York State Education Commissioner John King and the Board of Regents have faced steady criticism by parents and teachers over the controversial rollout of the Common Core curriculum. Now under increasing pressure from the Legislature, a Regents subcommittee has proposed major changes to the implementation of the curriculum. Governor Andrew Cuomo, too, has been critical of the Regents’ handling of the Common Core and has created an education committee to examine what went wrong with the Common Core and its implementation.

Monroe Community College President Anne Kress will serve on the committee.

An ambitious and unique development plan has been created by neighbors and organizations for the PlymouthExchange neighborhood in the City of Rochester’s southwest quadrant.

The city is at the very beginning of a long process to clean up and redevelop the abandoned 45-acre Vacuum Oil industrial campus.

But the neighborhood, not content with standing by while that process plays out, has come up with the PLEX Community and Multiversity Project for Urban Sustainability.

The project includes a portion of the Vacuum Oil site and ventures out into the surrounding neighborhood by incorporating some of PLEX’s vacant lots.

The project would build on the strengths of the Gandhi Institute, which is viewed by neighborhood leaders as an anchor for future development. The institute has a garden that is used by students from the nearby School 19 for summer projects, says John Curran, of the PLEX neighborhood association.

The C.A.M.P.U.S. plan looks at expanding on that concept by developing an aquaponics project to provide jobs in the neighborhood and skills training for young people, Curran says.

PLEX would also like to take fuller advantage of the neighborhood’s proximity to the University of Rochester — a pedestrian bridge connecting the neighborhood to the university opened last year. Curran says it’s too early to talk specifics, but the idea is to have the university become more involved in School 19. UR students already do remedial reading programs at the school, he says.

There are opportunities for other colleges to get involved in the neighborhood, too, Curran says.

“We have bicycle trail access to the major universities in Rochester,” he says.

Mark Gregor, manager of the city’s division of environmental quality, says work at the Vacuum Oil site is progressing, but slowly due to complicating factors such as ownership of the involved properties.

The district’s ‘Who done it?’

City school officials and school board members say they’re taking seriously a package sent to the Democrat and Chronicle containing personal information about school board President Van White.

Though the package’s contents were meant to discredit White, the situation has instead become a serious test of leadership for both Superintendent Bolgen Vargas and the board.

If it’s determined that a trust has been broken, it could be difficult to rebuild and move on. And the situation could lead to several troubling outcomes.

To recap, the D&C recently received documents that revealed personal financial and legal information about White. Though this information is new, White’s past financial problems are well-known. An anonymous note accompanied the documents that said, “He can’t manage himself. How can he manage a school district?”

The information, which is public record and pulled from the Monroe County Clerk’s website, showed Patrick Malgieri as the log-in name used to access the county’s site. Malgieri is a prominent Rochesterarea attorney and the spouse of Patricia Malgieri, who is Vargas’s chief of staff. The

AUDIO

Malgieris say they didn’t send the package and they don’t know who did.

Vargas quickly came to Patricia Malgieri’s defense. The two have been friends for a long time, and Vargas withstood considerable criticism when he hired her. Malgieri was a harsh critic of the district when she worked at City Hall as deputy mayor.

The package arrived at a time when Vargas is under fire from the Administration of Supervisors and Administrators, the union that represents the district’s principals and administrators, over his management style. Few board members publicly rushed to Vargas’s defense when ASAR members voted no confidence in the superintendent last month.

Vargas issued a statement in response to the package story. In it, he says that while he is concerned that someone would try to discredit White and Malgieri, that “to spend time and resources on speculation and investigation only plays in to the hands of whoever did this. From a public perspective, it would only inflame a non-story about President White. Internally, it would continue a pattern of distraction from this district’s essential work to serve the neediest students and families in our community.”

That sounds like a reasonable position,

Van White. FILE PHOTO

but it doesn’t override the public’s right to know what really happened. This is a serious offense. It’s unfair to tell rankand-file teachers that they must be held accountable for their performance if problems involving senior management are treated differently.

Former school board president Malik Evans said in a phone interview this week that just because the board hasn’t been public about its concerns, doesn’t mean it isn’t doing anything about the package mystery. That may be true, but the public and the board would be better served by greater transparency so that it doesn’t appear that concerns about causing a distraction are used as a distraction.

The board also can’t be afraid to follow the trail, wherever it leads.

The clock is running down on Bersin Properties, owner of Medley Centre.

Bersin’s plan for the Irondequoit site includes a hotel and a possible theater for Rochester Broadway Theatre League. But the project has faced setbacks and controversy from the outset.

Bersin has until May 1 to make $3.9 million in outstanding payments to the Town of Irondequoit, East Irondequoit School District, and the Monroe County Industrial Development Agency. Otherwise, the town and school district could ask COMIDA to terminate Bersin’s taxincentive agreement.

The $3.9 million includes a $3.5 million penalty for missing a major investment milestone. It also includes the company’s $392,381 annual payment.

Bersin’s principal, Scott Congel, has been pushing for an amended tax-incentive agreement and has tried to negotiate the penalty payment.

He says an amended agreement is necessary to get financing for the project. But local officials are running out of patience with Congel.

State Assembly member Joe Morelle has asked the state to investigate whether Bersin should keep getting Empire Zone tax credits.

CULTURE | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Rochester’s viral profile When the Gangnam Style music video hit YouTube in 2012, it became a viral sensation that made South Korean singer Psy an international star, and introduced much of the world to Korean pop music or Kpop. Psy’s prancing dance moves inspired imitation and parody worldwide. And the video that seemed to erupt out of nowhere now has nearly two billion views.

More recently, videos involving prominent politicians have gone viral.

In one, Staten Island Congress member Michael Grimm, angered by a television reporter’s question, threatens to physically harm the reporter.

The exchange, which was caught on camera, inspired widespread indignation. Grimm later apologized.

While many of the mega viral hits involve celebrities and public figures, the Flour City is no stranger to videos that have gone viral.

Rochester has a long history of creativity and innovation involving imagery, and some posts have garnered thousands of views and national attention. Others haven’t risen to that level, but are still worth watching.

So what are some of Rochester’s most memorable viral moments? What happens when you surf sites like YouTube and type in “Rochester viral?” What do you see and what kind of impression does Rochester make?

The results range from uplifting and hilarious to shocking and disturbing, with some deserving a trigger warning about possibly offensive content.

In many ways, viral Rochester reflects the

things we tend to talk about in our daily lives: the weather, schools, economy, and crime.

The medium, which combines advances in smartphone technology with access to Internet social media sites, is still new, says Kimberly McGann, associate professor of sociology and anthropology at Nazareth College. People post videos for many of the same reasons humans have always communicated; they’ve seen or heard something and they want to share the information, McGann says.

In some cases, the postings reflect and reinforce a distorted view of the past. For instance, when Rochesterians talk about the troubles downtown, it’s often through a nostalgic lens — how much better things were “back then.” In that vein, many of the online videos showcase the heady days of Midtown Plaza, the monorail, and the bustle of Main Street shoppers.

One of the most nostalgic things out there is a video of an RG&E educational film, “Rochester, NY: A City of Quality.”

The film, which appears on multiple websites, opens with people walking purposefully through Midtown and 6 CITY

FEBRUARY 12-18, 2014

stopping in front of the locally renowned Clock of Nations. Puppets depicting 12 different countries appear on the hour inside cylinder-shaped capsules that are both enchanting and eerie.

Equally sentimental is a video called, “Blizzard in Rochester NY 1966.” The footage features Lt. Governor Bob Duffy and long-time community leader Darryl Porter recalling one of the worst winter storms in Rochester’s history. The storm, which dumped so much snow it buried cars and blocked out first floor windows, is the worst he remembers, Porter says.

Weather comes up again in “Remember oUR Name-University of Rochester,” a rap music video that has nearly 150,000 hits.

The video was put together by the UR’s admissions people to help promote the university to high school students. The video generated a lot of community pride, but the UR doesn’t immediately jump to mind when you think of rap and hip-hop.

Last year’s “Fake Professor on the First Day” was a certifiable viral sensation. The video, which has a whopping nine million views, shows someone pretending to be UR Professor Ben Hafensteiner talking to students on the first day of chemistry class.

The fake professor speculates about who will be among the more than 50 percent of students to fail his class and not make it through medical school. The prank, though hardly original, was hysterical to some students and annoying to others.

Many of Rochester’s viral manifestations,

however, have been contentious and stirred community debates. A video called “Ghetto Rochester” gives a sympathetic but disparaging look at the city’s povertystricken neighborhoods.

The video serves as a stark visual example of what Mayor Lovely Warren so aptly described as the “other Rochester.” The version of the city depicted in the video shows neighborhoods beset both by crime and low educational aspirations.

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY MATT DETURCK

Among the most troubling video posts are those of Greece school bus monitor Karen Klein being taunted and bullied by students. The video, which has been posted on multiple sites, drew hundreds of thousands of viewers and became a major national news story.

And last summer, a video showing a Rochester police officer punching a combative pregnant woman reignited concerns about the use of force by police in minority neighborhoods. The Klein and police videos prompted communitywide discussions.

It’s important, however, not to read too much into viral videos, says William Ward, professor of social media at Syracuse University. Even some of the most disturbing videos — one called “Rochester crackhead,” for example, shows a woman willing to put her head in a toilet for crack — are not representative of Rochester, Ward says.

For one thing, he says, they frequently lack context.

Nazareth’s McGann says the videos represent a tiny slice of reality.

“I think there’s an awful lot of handwringing,” she says. “It’s not an indication as some people have suggested that it’s the decline of our civilization.”

GUEST COMMENTARY | BY VAN WHITE

City school board seeking change and solutions It’s difficult to read Mary Anna Towler’s January 29 Urban Journal and not notice the pessimistic tone expressed throughout the essay. She, understandably, notes that things “just [keep] getting worse” as the district continues its “slide down.”

She certainly is not alone in her views. She correctly notes that our own superintendent has described the district’s bureaucracy as “overwhelming” and has said that the district is “too badly broken to fix by itself.” Moreover, and more importantly, I’m convinced that far too many staff, students, and families have given up all hope as they have come to believe that our district is broken.

But, as Towler states, this is no time to “throw up our hands” and just complain about how broken the system is. Instead, the very people who feel like throwing up their hands in despair are the same individuals who must have a hand in fixing what is broken.

This means that the school board, superintendent, and every teacher, principal, parent, and pupil must work to repair what is broken and replicate those things that we know work. Indeed, as Towler states, “everybody in the community needs to take a good, hard look at themselves and their peers….

What we need right now is for each peer group to come up with solutions….”

Thankfully, that process has already begun. My colleagues on the Board of Education and I recently empaneled four Special Committees. These committees (which are made up parents, students, and other community activists and stake holders) are taking a “good, hard look” at issues like student achievement, school and community safety, concentrated poverty, and parental involvement.

I’ve participated in a number of these meetings, and I think the community will be pleasantly surprised, at the end of the 45-day period, by the solutions these citizens have come up with.

In addition, I recently released my 45Day Action Plan. You can see the details by going to www.rcsdk12.org and clicking on the Commissioners’ Corner. Many elements of this plan are already in place.

For example, it has come to the attention of the board that, over many decades, past superintendents have routinely ignored very thoughtful and potentially impactful board policies and directives.

For example, in 1997 the Board of Education passed Board Policy Number 0220, which extolled the virtues of having small schools. Everything we knew then and know now tells us

Conversations about improving our district must go beyond what the superintendent and the Board of Education do or do not do.” that students perform better in small schools and smaller classroom. Policy Number 0220 specifically required that the superintendent “provide periodic updates to the board on the success of small school units, and provide school and student assessments on an annual basis.” Notwithstanding that clear mandate, not a single report has ever been issued.

The Small Schools Policy also required that “the superintendent establish a broad-based committee (including administration, teaching staff, parents, students, and community partners) to develop administrative guidelines and fiscal guidelines for small school units.”

However, I’ve asked around, and no one can recall, within the last 17 years, when we’ve had such a committee.

Another very important example of our failure to simply do what we said we were going to do is Board Policy Number 1900: the Parent and Family Engagement Policy. That policy specifically requires that “prior to the end of each academic year, the superintendent will report to the Board of Education on the effectiveness of the implementation of this policy.” Despite the importance of parental engagement to our success as a district and the importance of evaluating continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

ife as a defense attorney for the poor often means long days, modest pay, and crushing caseloads. In the Monroe County Public Defender’s Office, attorneys in some bureaus handle more than double the number of cases recommended by national guidelines.

The heavy workload has kept the office from providing some defendants in town and village courts with attorneys at their arraignments, says Public Defender Tim Donaher. The same thing has been happening in defenders’ offices across the state, and the issue is part of a comprehensive lawsuit filed by the New York Civil Liberties Union against New York State.

Public defenders have a crucial role in the justice system. Their job is to make sure that better-resourced government prosecutors respect the rights of poor defendants — disproportionately, people of color — who otherwise couldn’t afford legal representation. They’re by and large a passionate, driven bunch committed to fairness in the justice system.

But they frequently find themselves with inadequate resources — the fundamental factor behind their heavy caseloads. And that leaves them open to criticism: they don’t spend enough time on each case, their defense efforts aren’t vigorous enough, or they’re too eager to take plea offers.

March 18 marks 51 years since the Supreme Court decision that states have an obligation to provide legal representation for poor defendants. The court’s reasoning in Gideon v. Wainwright is simple: a defendant who can’t afford to hire an attorney isn’t able to get a fair trial, which strips the person of fundamental constitutional rights.

But attorneys, governments, and courts are still hashing out the exact obligations states have when it comes to providing legal representation for poor defendants. As each issue arises and is settled, the nation’s patchwork public defense system evolves.

And that’s what happening in Monroe County. The Public Defender’s Office is working to advance a pair of initiatives that Donaher says would improve representation for the office’s clients. Both initiatives take on issues raised in lawsuits, though the legal actions haven’t involved the local public defender’s office.

One effort, which Donaher is working on with other public defenders in the region, would set up a legal center to advise defense attorneys for the poor on immigration law.

And starting March 1, the Monroe County Public Defender’s Office will expand the hours when attorneys are available to conduct arraignments. The change sounds minor, but it addresses a series of critical issues.

Another potential change to the county’s indigent legal defense is a bit 8 CITY

controversial. Late last year, the county began soliciting proposals to outsource some of its indigent defense work. The idea has been met with skepticism from the legal community, with some attorneys questioning the viability of the proposal.

The deadline for submissions has been extended three times, with February 21 as the latest due date. As of last week, the county hadn’t received any proposals, says spokesperson Justin Feasel.

The county wants to outsource two of its indigent legal defense programs. The programs function separately from the Public Defender’s Office.

The Conflict Defender’s Office and the Assigned Counsel Program provide legal representation to poor defendants in criminal and some family court cases when the Public Defender’s Office has a conflict of interest.

County officials want two outside firms to take over that work; one would handle mostly criminal cases, and the other would mainly be for the family

Defender’s Office and Assigned Counsel program is $3.9 million.

The caseloads would be substantial. In 2012, the two offices handled a combined total of 7,381 cases in criminal, family, and appeals courts, says the RFP. The Assigned Counsel program handled approximately 3,600 of those cases, and at a higher percase cost than either the Conflict Defender’s Office or the Public Defender’s Office.

But Kenneth Hyland, a private criminal defense attorney who takes cases through the Assigned Counsel Program, says the comparison is misleading, since many of the assigned cases are complex felonies.

And assigned attorneys are paid $75 per hour, far below what a private attorney would typically charge.

Some local attorneys question whether any firm would be able to make the math work. Nathan Van Loon, a family court attorney in private practice, says that’s probably why the county hasn’t received responses to its proposal.

“The real question is can you run basically a business where you handle 5,000 cases for one

Office, says he’s not aware of any local law firm that could handle the additional caseloads proposed by the county. It’s likely any organization would have to hire attorneys, he says.

“It seems like anybody in that situation would have an incentive to minimize what they’re paying the attorneys to handle the cases,” he says. “That could mean that they have less experienced attorneys handling these cases.”

The Monroe County Bar Association, which worked with the county to establish the Conflict Defender’s Office, met with county officials to discuss its concerns with the potential change. But officials with the Bar Association wouldn’t say what their concerns are.

“The Monroe County Bar Association raised its concern that any delivery system of legal services to the indigent accused be of the highest quality,” association President Diane Cecero said in an e-mailed statement. “We were pleased to understand that Monroe County shared those concerns.”

court cases. The county plans to enter into five-year, fixed-payment contracts with the selected organizations.

“The county is interested in any and all proposals that will save taxpayer dollars while maintaining a high level of quality service,” says a county-issued addendum to its original request for proposals.

But the county doesn’t say what it would pay for those services. The 2014 combined budget for the Conflict

firm, and 2,500 cases for the other on a total budget of $3 million or less?” Van Loon says.

If cost is the issue, particularly for the assigned cases, then the county may realize savings by hiring a few more attorneys for the Conflict Defender’s Office and bringing some of the assigned cases back in house, Van Loon says. The county should study that option, he says.

Hyland, a former first assistant district attorney in the county District Attorney’s

In 2007, the New York Civil Liberties Union filed a class-action lawsuit

challenging the adequacy of New York’s indigent legal defense system. After years of winding its way through the legal process, the lawsuit will go to trial in September. (Monroe County is not part of the lawsuit.)

In simple terms, the lawsuit argues that the state has failed its obligation to provide effective legal defense for poor people

accused of crimes. And that it has left that job to counties, but has failed to provide the counties with adequate funding. One of the lawsuit’s key supporting arguments is that defendants in town and village courts haven’t always been provided with attorneys at arraignment.

A previous court ruling in the lawsuit says that the failure to provide attorneys at arraignments could be a violation of defendants’ constitutional rights, says Corey Stoughton, NYCLU’s lead attorney on the case.

“What needs to be fixed, fundamentally, is that the state needs to better fund and better oversee the public defense system,” she says.

In response to some of the issues raised in the lawsuit, including the arraignments problem, state officials formed the Office of Indigent Legal Services. And in an effort to provide attorneys at more arraignments, the office issued grants to 25 counties.

The Monroe County Public Defender’s Office was one of the grant recipients. It’s using the money to provide attorneys for

The new arrangement will potentially cut down the time defendants spend in police custody waiting for bail to be set, Donaher says. When a judge is called in to oversee an arraignment, he says, the authorities will be able to call in a public defender, too.

NYCLU’s Stoughton says it is critical that anyone accused of a crime have an attorney at arraignment. In some cases, she says, defendants have pleaded guilty at arraignment before consulting a lawyer.

(Many judges, however, won’t accept guilty pleas at arraignment.)

But for many people charged with a crime, whether a judge sets affordable bail can be a life-changing moment. If it’s set too high, or denied, defendants will spend time in jail awaiting trial. And that could motivate people to plead guilty just to get their sentence reduced. In the meantime, Stoughton says, they may lose their jobs or custody of their children.

“For most people, that’s the whole game when it comes to being charged with a crime,” Stoughton says.

defense attorneys must fully inform their clients about the consequences that a guilty plea or conviction could have on their immigration status.

“This sort of caused an ‘Oh my God’ moment amongst defense attorneys,” Donaher says, “because obviously defense attorneys aren’t immigration law specialists.”

To address this issue, the state Office of Indigent Legal Services plans to fund regional immigration assistance centers for defense attorneys who represent the poor. The centers will serve as resources for immigration law guidance and training.

Donaher, working with public defenders in nearby counties, says he plans to apply for funding to set up a regional immigration law advisory center; the location hasn’t been selected. The defenders are waiting for the Office of Indigent Legal Services to officially open the application process, Donaher says, which is supposed to happen this winter.

Public defenders often deal with clients who are not citizens, DuBrin says,

“It’s just too complex and the consequences are just too great,” DuBrin says.

For example, consider the difference between charges for possessing a small amount of pot and driving while intoxicated. Criminally, the pot charge carries a much lighter penalty. But a conviction or guilty plea for unlawful possession of marijuana automatically bars a person from getting a green card, DuBrin says. A person who pleas to or is convicted of driving while intoxicated can still get a green card, he says.

DuBrin says the immigration law advisory center sounds like a good idea, partly because it’ll serve defense attorneys for the poor outside of public defender’s offices. But fundamentally, he says, the concept is about ensuring that attorneys can get fair and just results for their clients.

That sense of fairness and justice for anyone accused of a crime is what the Supreme Court’s Gideon v. Wainwright decision was rooted in. Similarly, it’s the underlying issue in the NYCLU’s lawsuit

arraignments every day of the week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., starting March 1.

In the town and village courts, arraignments often happen outside of scheduled court sessions, says Donaher, the public defender. In those instances, a judge has to be called in. For a variety of reasons, including staffing shortages and lack of resources, no public defender’s office upstate has consistently provided attorneys for the impromptu arraignments.

For some indigent defendants, a guilty plea or conviction can mean complications

with their immigration status.

It used to be that defense attorneys weren’t obligated to discuss these consequences with their clients, says Drew DuBrin, the Monroe County Public Defender’s Office in-house immigration law expert.

But a 2010 Supreme Court decision changed that. The decision says that

though most are in the country legally.

DuBrin, who is the special assistant public defender in charge of appeals, says he consults on immigration matters at least once a week.

Immigration law, particularly when it intersects with criminal law, can be complex and confusing. And the consequences from a plea or conviction can be equally complicated and sometimes counterintuitive.

Right: Public Defender Tim Donaher says

and the efforts to provide poor people with attorneys at arraignment.

“In the adversarial system of justice, we rely on public defenders to ensure that the right outcomes happen when a person is charged with a crime,” says NYCLU’s Stoughton.

School board seeking change continues from page 7

and monitoring the effectiveness of our parental engagement strategies, our staff has not been able to find a single annual report issued on this important subject since this policy was first passed in 1991.

We have found 23 instances of sound, thoughtful board policies that have been passed over the last two decades and that have been largely ignored. Accordingly, I have asked Superintendent Vargas to conduct an immediate Implementation Review of existing board policies and directives and to design a work plan for bringing Central Office into compliance with all board policies. I have also asked my colleagues on the board to change the format of the superintendent’s work performance evaluation so that every year, every superintendent is evaluated on whether he has fully complied with every school board policy.

Moreover, it is important that conversations regarding how to improve our district go beyond what the superintendent and the Board of Education do or do not do. Accordingly, my 45-Day Action Plan also calls for the development of a Parental EngagementInvolvement Report Card, so that parents can also consider how they might become more involved and thereby improve the outcomes of our district.

Finally, there has been (and will continue to be) a concerted effort by members of the Board of Education, the superintendent, Central Office staff, and, of course, our committed core of district social workers, to knock on doors and talk face-to-face with the students who are missing in action. Put more simply, if we want to find our way as a district, we must first find our students and identify meaningful and effective ways for them to return to school.

Indeed, our entire approach to fixing our district and restoring hope is quite simple. Begin by doing the things we said we were going to do; do the things we should be doing; and replicate the things that we know we do well. This is how we will renew the confidence of those we work with and how we will restore the hope of those we work for.

Van White is president of the Rochester Board of Education.

Dishing it out [ CHOW HOUND ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

We’re emptying the Tip Jar over here at Chow Hound HQ, but before we do, a trip to exotic State Street...

Berbere-spiced lentils have lately become this carnivore’s first thought when venturing out for a bite, and credit for that should go to Rochester’s recent wave of excellent and affordable Ethiopian spots. The latest is Taste of Ethiopia (155 State St., 503-4056, tasteofethiopiarochester.com), which offers a typical American restaurant experience alongside a more traditional — and way more colorful — Ethiopian one that involves communal dining out of a tall lidded basket.

The well-executed food doesn’t stray too far from the other local offerings (with the exception of tripe and liver, which I haven’t yet noticed on other Ethiopian menus around here), and there’s an array of customizable combination platters that showcase this increasingly popular cuisine in all its complex yet satisfying glory. The Monday-Friday vegan lunch buffet is currently a shockingly inexpensive $6.99, and I’m not lying when I say that Agegil ($12), a layered dish with both chicken and beef tucked in injera, provided me with delicious dinner for three days.

Tying it all together is owner Mesrak Tesfaye, who

displays seemingly inexhaustible amounts of both patience and passion while explaining her dishes.

Over the past three decades, clarinetist David Krakauer has carved out niches in a range of styles including classical, jazz, and klezmer (he was a member of the Klezmatics in the 1990’s). He’s found a way to combine all of his interests on his excellent new album, “The Big Picture.” The title nicely references both the movies whose tunes he mines and the scope of emotions evoked

by Jewish-themed film music. Several of the chosen compositions relate to Judaism through the directors’, composers’, or actors’ heritage (“Keep It Gay” from “The Producers”; “People” from “Funny Girl”). Some are from immigrant-themed films, like “The Family” from “Avalon.” Others are from Holocaust-themed films, including “Wilkommen” from “Cabaret,” “Love Theme” from “Sophie’s Choice,” and “Moving To The Ghetto” from “The Pianist.”

Stylistically, the music traverses a wide territory. “Honeycomb” from “Lenny” contains elements of acid jazz and “Si Tu Vois Ma Mere” (“If You See My Mother”) from “Midnight in Paris” is downright funky. My favorites are Krakauer’s klezmer interpretations of “The March” from “Love And Death” and “Love Theme” from “Sophie’s Choice.”

No small part of the magic of this album lies in the arrangements, most of which are by Krakauer, with a few by Andrew Barrett and Kathleen Tagg. — BY RON NETSKY

The most powerful aspect of Anton Schwartz’s new album, “Flash Mob,” is the manner in which it manages to evoke the greatest jazz quintets of the past while simultaneously stretching toward the future. When Schwartz and Dominick Farinacci (trumpet) play together in harmony on one of Schwartz’s strong heads (“Swamp Thing”) it recalls the great sax/trumpet combinations of the late 1950’s and early 1960’s — think Freddie Hubbard and Hank Mobley. But on tunes like Schwartz’s “Cumulonimbus” the group ventures right to the edge of free jazz. This balance would be tough to pull off without great supporting players like Taylor Eigsti on piano; John Shifflett, bass; and Lorca Hart, drums.

Schwartz seems to acknowledge his debt to the past in excellent covers of “La Mesha”

by Kenny Dorham and “Epistrophy” by Thelonious Monk and Kenny Clarke. But his own compositions sometimes sound like he boarded a time machine. That’s a good thing when it results in tunes like “Alleybird” and “Spurious Causes,” which could have been classics in the 1950’s. — BY RON NETSKY

Not too long ago, in a galaxy not too far away, guitarist Kyle Jennejohn and bassist Nick Gilboe were killing time writing goofy songs and laughing beer through their noses.

“It all started a few years back,” says Jennejohn. “Me and Gilboe were hanging out dinking a case of Genesee beer. I had my acoustic guitar, he had his acoustic bass. We were in a drunken stupor and we were like, ‘Let’s write a funny song.’ The first songs we wrote were ‘It’s a Pirate’s Life For Me’ and ‘Caturoy,’ which is like corduroy but made for cats; cats wearing corduroy.” That’s as far as they expected it to go until friends caught wind of the tunes. Jennejohn was taken aback.

“We showed them to our friends,” he says.

“And they were like, ‘Sweet, those are mad funny.’” Soon it wasn’t just an outlet to guzzle beer and be a wise-ass anymore.

“After we got done writing those silly songs, our writing got a little more serious,” says Gilboe. “We found ourselves with five, band-ready, legitimate songs. And we were like, ‘Let’s get a drummer behind all of this and see where it goes.’” Gilboe gave Dom Mangano a jingle and he was like, “‘Sure, dude. Let’s give it a shot.’”

14 CITY FEBRUARY 12-18, 2014

The new trio got together the next day and had the songs done in a matter of hours.

“We had really good chemistry,” Jennejohn says. “It was on a level we could all understand.”

“It was nice and fast, edgy punk rock,” says Mangano. “It came really easy for us.”

And so, Envious Disguise was born.

It doesn’t get much more rudimentary or

straight-ahead than this trio. The output is three chords over a 4/4 beat, with humor and speed. It’s smart and funny and loud and fast, kind of like a clown car with a Cessna airplane engine and glass packs. But Envious Disguise decided that it was more than three chords and a guffaw. Soon, the three musicians found themselves digging deeper. It was actually a band that sprang from punk-rock fervor, something the band considers a stepping stone or a launch pad to explore without abandoning its roots.

“It was a nice foundation to what we’re doing now,” Gilboe says of the original, nofrills sound. “We built up, not out. Instead of going in a different direction, we just made it better.”

“We didn’t want to be the stereotypical punk band where it was just short and sweet,” says Jennejohn.

Envious Disguise’s first gig (excepting an in-store appearance at The House of Guitars) was a house party at a joint called The Meat Grinder. The band played after a hardcore metal band and it went over huge with the crowd.

“We only had half an hour prepared and we ended up playing like an hour and a half,” Jennejohn says. “The kids were really into it.

‘You guys are great, you guys are sick, how long have you been playing for?’ This is our first show. ‘No way.’ So we looked at each other and said, let’s keep doing this. This is fun.”

Envious Disguise banged out a demo in Mangano’s attic. Gilboe describes it as “raw and gritty.”

“It was good for what we needed it for, an old-school demo, just to get something out to people,” Gilboe says. They wanted something that, according to Jennejohn, would change some misperceptions.

“We got tired of being compared to Green Day all the time,” Jennejohn says. “So we took that sound and made it more aggressive, did more solos, added harmonies, stuff like that.”

“We’re doing something that’s already been done,” Gilboe says. “We’re just bringing it back and trying to do it better.”

Doing it better has been one constant in Jennejohn’s songwriting equation.

“Always start with a punchy intro,” he says.

If you want to hear some punchy intros, pick up Envious Disguise’s EP, “Behind The Stache and Glasses,” or the trio’s new LP, “Blood, Sweat, and Beers” on Eat Here Records.

The band is barnstorming the region more and more, and keeps fit in the downtime with various sporting endeavors.

Gilboe is in a bowling league, Mangano is a golfer, Jennejohn plays soccer, and they all skateboard and snowboard. Except Jennejohn; he can’t snowboard.

“I can sled,” he says, “but I can’t snowboard."

POP/ROCK | AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER

Boston-based Air Traffic Controller began when singer/ songwriter Dave Munro, a real life air traffic controller in the Navy, released a four-track demo during his service.

Since the release of that demo, the band has grown to be an indie tour de force, garnering an incredible amount of media attention and critical praise over the past few years.

Air Traffic Controller creates a clean, pop-infused brand of indie rock, with the band itself citing Cat Stevens and Paul Simon as major influences. The band released its second full-length album, “Nordo,” in 2012.

POP/ROCK | CRY TO THE BLIND

www.rochester.edu/college/dance/events

24 Open Workshops and More!

Of all the nu-metal uber-heavy outfits clamoring for the throne, Rochester’s Cry To The Blind does it with a positive spin. How you ask? Melody. Melody amidst the doom and weight, melody amidst the minor apocalyptic leanings.

I mean, how many heavy, modern bands do you know that can pull off an acoustic album without sacrificing an ounce of impact?

Dance five studios, a conditioning lab, a fitness pool, and a costume shop. Ultimately, it may be the wide range of dance degrees Brockport offers that attract potential students.

Undergraduate students can earn a BA, BS, or BFA in dance; graduate students a MA or an MFA. According to Warner, students can personalize their studies to some degree, tailor them to their aptitudes and interests.

The modern-dance-centered program includes a range of approaches to modern, as well as studio courses in ballet, contact improvisation and partnering, tap, African dance and drumming, and Irish dance. Choreography, dance history and theory, teaching methodologies, somatics, and movement analysis are all areas of student exploration.

“Brockport is distinctive in that its liberal-arts philosophy allows students to pair dance and other disciplines,” Warner says.

“We really try to create three-dimensional dancers and people, not just choreographers and dancers. Scholars and thinkers. They apply the skills they acquire through dance — critical and innovative thinking, problem solving — to other careers.”

Masterful classes

The College at Brockport serves as an incubator for regional and national dance talent Dance Awareness Days THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20-FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21 HARTWELL HALL, SUNY COLLEGE AT BROCKPORT FREE | BROCKPORT.EDU [ FEATURE ] BY CASEY CARLSEN

Garth Fagan first became affiliated with the SUNY College at Brockport Department of Dance in 1970 when he began teaching a course called “Dance for the Disadvantaged” —a course for students with no prior dance experience. Fagan had just given up performing as principal dancer and choreographer with the Dance Theatre of Detroit and was New York City-bound when he took a detour, accepting the Brockport position on a temporary basis.

That temporary basis turned into a three-decade professorship that acted as magnet for students and professors alike, doing much to help establish the college’s prominence among other collegiate dance programs.

“I was young and in touch with the times,” Fagan says. “I was a child of the 60’s myself, out 18 CITY FEBRUARY 12-18, 2014

in the muck and mire of Woodstock. I used music of the times in class — Jimi Hendrix was a friend — and the kids were enthusiastic. I gave them more than just the same old, same old.

But, I also knew that the choreography bug had already bitten me and that teaching wouldn’t be enough for me.”

Steve Humphrey was in that first class, a freshman then, and new to dance. Fagan recognized Humphrey’s potential and soon had him rehearsing with another young group of dancers in a gymnasium on Andrews Street, part of the Educational Opportunity Center.

This group grew into The Bottom of the Bucket (later to become Garth Fagan Dance), which performed locally at places like Midtown Mall before staging its first official performance in Buffalo in 1970. The company premiered at the prestigious dance festival Jacob’s Pillow to rave reviews just four years later. Today, at 61, Humphrey still dances for Fagan; his is just one of Brockport’s success stories in dance.

If you look at Rochester’s dance scene as a whole, many of its participants — dancers, choreographers, teachers, company leaders — have been involved with the College at Brockport

in some capacity. The school has had a key role in developing dance talent in our area, and its influence ripples far outside Rochester’s borders.

Kevin Warner, recently appointed chair of

Brockport’s dance department, credits Fagan and other predecessors for helping establishing the dance program in the 1970’s and 1980’s.

Today, the college reaches out to alumni — both professors and students — asking them to return to conduct master classes, hold workshops, or speak on panels as guest artists.

“We bring alumni back in to give students a chance to learn about a new aesthetic, or about an old or new niche in dance,” Warner says. For instance, Nicolette Depass, also a Brockport dance graduate and a longtime member of Garth Fagan Dance, will be speaking on a panel at the college this spring.

Warner attributes several factors to Brockport’s national recognition as a select college for dance studies. First, it’s about students eager to study with high-caliber professors — many on faculty can boast both national and international credentials. Then there are the school’s facilities: two theaters,

Warner had been on the dance faculty for

six years before he was appointed chair of the department last summer. He continues to teach Interdisciplinary Arts for Children, a unique major that prepares students for a variety of careers in education and the arts.

The program has a partnership with The National Museum of Play, which provides Brockport students with a venue for practical application of learning.

Clyde Morgan, associate professor of modern and African dance at Brockport, has been teaching at the college since 1986. He is also the director of Sankofa African Dance and Drum, an African dance group based out of the college that has achieved international recognition. Khalid Abdul N’ Faly Saleem is the company’s musical director.

Morgan recently returned from Brazil with a select group of Brockport students participating in the college’s International Studies Program. “This program is another of Brockport’s strong points,” Morgan says.

“Students are made aware of dance styles in their cultural context. They are taught by people of authentic origin and completely immersed in the culture.”

Like Warner, Morgan helps his students gain stage experience through performing for young people. He utilizes the national nonprofit Young Audiences program that contracts “trainer” artists in cities across the country. As a trainer with Young Audiences of Rochester, Morgan is able to bring on student assistants.

EXHIBIT | “DUTCH CONNECTION”

Between 1905 and 1932, George Eastman filled his house and conservatory with thousands of bulbs ordered from Holland. Today, that tradition lives on. Filled with the sweet smells of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, amaryllis, and freesias, the Eastman House (located at 900 East Ave) will celebrate its 20th year of “Dutch Connection,” a twoweek display re-creating the “virtual springtime” Eastman brought to his home every year. In addition to the flower display, Eastman artifacts from 1914 will be on display throughout the second floor of the house.

The display will be open to view Friday, February 14-Sunday, March 2 during normal museum hours (Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m.-5 p.m.). “Dutch Connection” is free with regular museum admission: $5 for students (with IDs), $10 for seniors, and $12 for ages 13 and up. For more information, visit eastmanhouse.org or call 271-3361. — BY TAYLOR WHITE

SPECIAL EVENTS | V-DAY EVENTS FOR SINGLES

I’m pretty sure that if any couples out there don’t know how you’re spending Valentine’s Day, you can figure out what to do with yourselves. This one I dedicate to the Lonely Hearts Club. The following no-date-required events and activities are just a few geared toward those Cupid hasn’t yet shanked, but you can find more events listed in our online calendar at rochestercitynewspaper.com. —BY REBECCA RAFFERTY You don’t need a date to appreciate The Bard. Justin Rielly’s “Love in the Style of Will,” a showcase of romantic scenes and sonnets from the Shakespearean catalog, will be performed at MuCCC (142 Atlantic Ave.) on Friday, February 14, at 7:30 p.m. In addition to recitations of some of Shakespeare’s poems, the show will feature scenes from “The Tempest,” “Richard III,” “Henry V,” “As You Like It,” “Much Ado About Nothing,” “The Taming of the Shrew,” and, of course, “Romeo and Juliet.” This is a “pay what you will” performance, with a $6 suggested donation. More info at muccc.org.

On Friday, February 14, 10 p.m.-4 a.m., Kiss 106.7 will host a Stop Light Party at Love Nightclub & After-Hours (45 Euclid St.). Send clear(ish) signals: wear red if you’re taken, yellow if it’s complicated, and green if you’re single. DJs Trancesend and Victor Gig will provide the tunes. A Stuck on You sticker contest will award a $300 prize to the person with the most stickers. Admission to the party is $5 for ages 21+ and $15 for 18+. For more info, call 222-5683 or visit facebook.com/ lovenightclubrochesterny.

Instead of pining away this Valentine’s Day, show some love for the local youth who have put their hearts, and green thumbs, into growing plants in an urban greenhouse. On Friday, February 14, 4-6 p.m. the Seedfolk Store (540 W. Main Str.) will host “Valen-teen: Seeds of Change,” an open house and fundraising event for the Grow SouthWest Youth Employment Program. The event offers festive Valentine’s Day activities for all ages, crafts, raffles, food & drink for sale, and a Valentine’s plant sale. For more information, call 279-9943 or visit theseedfolkstore.wordpress.com.

MuCCC is really holding us down this week. Yet another V-Dayoriented performance will take place at the space on Saturday, February 15, at 8 p.m. Polite Ink Sketch & Improv will present “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” for all of those cynics out there. The company’s improv element is based on audience suggestions, so come with comedic fodder. Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door, and $8 for seniors.

RECREATION | WINTER HIKES

We have to deal with the frigid temps and the mountains of snow on our daily commute, so we may not choose to encounter them when it’s not necessary. But if we’re stuck indoors for the workday, and are chased indoors by Old Man Winter on the off-times, we run the risk of turning into cave trolls. Bundle up! It’s time for some fresh air and sunshine.

Genesee Country Village & Museum (1410 Flint Hill Road, Mumford) will host Cabin Fever Reliever Nature Hikes with naturalist and wildlife educator Ron Walker each Sunday in February, 2-3:15 p.m. Wear sturdy boots and be prepared to learn about winter birds, animal tracks, or other signs of local wildlife and natural minutiae. The hike fee is $5-$6. For more information, call 538-6822, or visit gcv.org.

Clean snow and the lack of foliage tend to make everything look stark and peaceful, and Mount Hope Cemetery is no exception. A winter tour of lovely Mount Hope Cemetery (1133 Mt. Hope Ave.) will take place Saturday, February 15, at 1 p.m. Future winter tours will be held on Saturdays, March 15 and April 19, both at 1 p.m. The price to participate is $5, and free to Friends of Mount Hope members and children under age 16.

They must also prevent the Soviet army’s own unit, the Trophy Brigade, from taking the loot back to Russia.

his unit, their outfitting and basic training as soldiers of a sort, so they can go to war for the salvation of Western culture. An English and a French officer join the Americans, making their task, like the war itself, a joint effort of the Allies. To locate some of the works, one member of the unit, James Granger (Matt Damon), enlists the help of a brave, clever Frenchwoman, Claire Simone (Cate Blanchett), who worked as a secretary to a German officer and observed Hermann Goering’s acquisition of numerous paintings; her ledger of the paintings and their destination allows the Americans to retrieve untold numbers of masterpieces.

The picture’s several different stories of the separate Monuments Men sometimes tend to diffuse the picture’s narrative focus and weaken its coherence. The great unifying element of the story, however, involves two famous masterpieces, both from Belgian churches, the Ghent Altarpiece and the magnificent Bruges Madonna, the only Michelangelo sculpture to leave Italy.

Though probably somewhat fictionalized, the unit’s discovery of those two great works generates suspense that turns into real emotion, a genuinely moving moment in the film.

Clooney’s direction generously allows all the actors to shine, sometimes humorously, sometimes quite seriously. Playing a character who must be the fattest sergeant in the U. S. Army, John Goodman exemplifies one of his great strengths, mixing somber reactions with a

kind of offhand comedy. As the oldest member of the team, Bill Murray displays some of the sadness and loss of all wars when he hears the voices of his daughter and grandchildren on a record, wishing him a Merry Christmas during the Battle of the Bulge.

Unusually, “The Monuments Men” really deserves most of the favorable press that surrounds its release. It tells an important story, it employs a fine cast, and it creates genuine emotion out of so unusual a subject as the search for art. Like a great many of those familiar World War II documentaries, it also provides an astonishing amount of facts about the Nazi theft of a huge, extraordinary artistic treasure hoard, from great paintings and sculptures to rare books and even thousands of church bells.

The picture instructs its audiences in the dedication of a group of men and women who believed in the importance of their mission and in the role of art in creating and sustaining civilization. It may even remind some people of a time when our government actually cared about the work of the Monuments Men, in contrast to the cavalier dismissals of the looting of museums during the Iraq invasion. When the president asks Frank Stokes if the rescue of a great painting or sculpture was worth the life of the person trying to save it, knowing the man and understanding the loss, Stokes defends the sacrifice. After all, as Horace wrote, art is long, life is short.

Just hearing the word “Lego” probably conjures up distinct childhood memories, ones that will no doubt vary slightly from person to person. Some might remember digging into a big bucket of those primarycolored plastic bricks and building elaborate worlds out of whatever pieces you happened to pull out, while others may think of the more modern branded Lego sets from the worlds of “Star Wars,” DC Comics, or “Lord of the Rings” (among many others).

Such variety makes basing a film on a toy like Lego somewhat difficult. With no set characters or rules, or even a basic objective to playing with the toys (aside from, you know, “build stuff”), where do you even begin? That wide-open freedom gave writer-directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord (“Cloudy With a Chance Of Meatballs” and “21 Jump Street”) license to do whatever they wanted, and somehow they convinced Lego executives to sign off on it. From what could easily have been a simple cash-grab

designed to sell toys, Miller and Lord have built — quite literally — a world of wit, humor, and imagination that, despite it being only February, is likely to remain one of my favorite films of the year.

The film’s hero is Emmet (Chris Pratt, TV’s “Parks and Recreation”), an ordinary, mild-mannered construction-worker Lego who is content to abide by the rules, follow instructions, and fit into the cheerfully oppressive, homogenous culture that President Business (Will Ferrell), the leader of the Lego universe, has created. But then Emmet meets a mysterious woman by the name of Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks), who believes him to be “The Special,” the one person prophesied to save their world from total annihilation at the hands of the evil Lord Business. Wyldstyle recruits Emmet to join her fellow “Master Builders,” including Batman (a hilariously deadpan Will Arnett) and a wise old sage named Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman, gamely poking fun at the wise leader role he’s played dozens of times before) in defeating the nefarious plot of Lord Business.

The story is exactly as nonsensical as it sounds, acting as parody of the standard “ordinary man plucked from obscurity to save the world” adventure plot. Lord and Miller load the film with rapid-fire jokes and clever details — this is a film that will definitely reward repeat viewings — but also manage to work in some surprisingly profound beliefs about the nature of creativity and play. The film finds an ingenious way to make the idea that there’s no right way to play with Lego into a crucial component of the story. This plot point leads the film to make some rather risky choices in its third act, which may divide viewers, though there are plenty of signs throughout that hint where the film might be headed.

The film is computer animated. But under the guidance of animation director Chris McKay, of “Robot Chicken” fame, the animators attempted to duplicate the jerky movement of stop motion, so the film appears as though it were made using

actual Lego pieces. Everything in the film’s universe is made of Lego, from the buildings (naturally) all the way to explosions and ocean waves, and the directors encouraged the animators to digitally build these elements brick by brick, so technically it’s entirely possible to build everything you see in the movie (though apparently it would take more than 15 million individual Lego pieces, so it may take you awhile). The effect is only enhanced with the use of 3D, which makes it seem that we’re watching the toys come to life.

“The Lego Movie” mixes a fun, clever screenplay, amazing animation, and a hilarious voice cast, making for a wacky and delightfully weird film. Like some of the best moments from the “Toy Story” films, it captures the feeling of dumping all your toys on the living-room carpet and seeing where your imagination takes you.

In “The Past,” director Asghar Farhadi’s

follow-up to his Oscar-winning masterpiece “A Separation,” an Iranian man travels to Paris in order to finalize his divorce to his ex-wife. Ahmad (Ali Mosaffa) has made the trip at Marie’s (Bérénice Bejo, “The Artist”) request, and Ahmad finds once he’s arrived that Marie has moved her new boyfriend, Samir (Tahar Rahim, “A Prophet”), along with his young son, Samir, into the home that they once shared. Her eldest daughter, Lucie, is rebelling, having difficulty accepting a new father figure into her life, and Marie asks Ahmad to talk to her. With the two families under one roof, revelations from the past soon resurface, creating lasting consequences for all involved.

Farhadi’s scripting isn’t quite as strong as in his previous films, and Ahmad’s character is too much of an observer to the action for viewers to become fully invested in the knotty melodrama that takes shape. But the performances are phenomenal, including those by some extremely talented child actors, and Farhadi is as adept as ever at mining a seemingly simple domestic drama for all of its messy moral and emotional complexities.

“Students learn how to interact with the community through this program,” he says. “It’s a valuable tool for them.”

Morgan also praises Brockport for offering guest artists, residencies, recruiting opportunities, and fellowships to the college’s students.

Mark Morris, Martha Graham, The Limon Company, and Doug Varone have all held residencies at the college.

“We’re the motherlode,” Morgan says. “There’s no other collegiate dance program like ours in the region.”

Mariah Maloney, currently the director of the dance graduate

program, spent eight years as a soloist with the prestigious Trisha

Brown Dance Company. “I chose to come to Brockport because it is a serious creative place where students and faculty are deeply immersed in their work,” she says. “There is a depth of artistry inherent in the place, and the program reflects that.”

William Evans is another of the college’s high-prestige professors.

Evans is the artistic director of the Bill Evans Dance Company, one of the most-booked companies in the country for several years under the Dance Touring and Artist-in-theSchools programs of the National Endowment for the Arts. He is renowned for his work in both modern dance and rhythm tap, and has been teaching at Brockport since 2004.

“Dance programs in this country are quite young for the most part. We’re one of the older ones now,” Evans says.

Brockport dance graduates Guy Thorne and Heather Roffe both cite Evans as a mentor. Thorne was already dancing professionally with Garth Fagan Dance when he started working towards his BFA degree in dance from Brockport.

“I could immediately apply what I was learning in Bill’s classes,” he says. “He gave me tools to use, information I could take to the bank.”

Thorne is now director of Futurpointe Dance, a genrebending company that has moved swiftly toward recognition in the dance world. Including Thorne, five of its members studied at Brockport. Another five apprentices from the college are currently working with the company.

“A lot of Brockport grads are working in their field of study,” Thorne says. “A lot.”

Roffe, also a founding member of Futurpointe, and now associate professor of dance at Nazareth College, agrees. “Brockport offers a well-rounded program,” she says. “I felt very prepared upon graduation to confidently go out and feel I had something to offer in a higher education institute.”

In March, the college will host the 2014 American College Dance Festival Northeastern Conference, which showcases the best dance talent from the region.

Two concerts featuring full-time and adjunct college faculty will be held on March 12 and 13 at the Hartwell Theatre.

Perhaps, like me, you’ve been by the darling Greek Revival cottage at 102 Adams Street dozens of times and not given its presence there a second thought. Nestled among mature trees and plantings, with pleasing butter-yellow clapboards and dark red shutters, it looks like it has always been there. And it is an old house, with an original structure built in 1830, and a more “recent” section added to the back in 1850.

The immaculate presentation of this historic Corn Hill home belies the fact that it was actually moved to this site just a little over 35 years ago, from its original location two blocks away on Edinburgh Street. Rescued from the brink of demolition, and with funds lent from The Landmark Society for the 1977 move and initial work, the cottage endured a complete gutting in preparation for two and a half years of renovation, including the addition of a modern foundation, plumbing, electric, heat, roof and walls.

An Upstate Magazine article from the late 1970s (on display at the home) describes the ups and downs of the passion project rescue, including excerpts from the restoration diary of the cottage’s savior.

Thankfully, the rebuilding was done with solid sensitivity to its roots. The home’s rescuer was able to save some of its original hardware and enviable wide-plank flooring,

plus its wooden clapboard, and front door. It has been lovingly cared for ever since.

The first floor features a charming living room lit by floor-to-ceiling windows and a handsome fireplace as its focal point. En route to the adjacent dining room is access to a private, covered side porch. At the back of the house, vaulted ceilings with skylights enlarge the feel of the galley kitchen, which leads to a full bath and a large bonus room—perfectly situated for use as a family room, bedroom, guest quarters, or office. A Dutch door off the kitchen provides access to a deck and enormous backyard.

The lovely master suite encompasses the entire second floor and includes a sizeable bathroom with ample closet space, a dressing area, and original clawfoot tub.

Over the years, this special home has been featured by the Corn Hill Neighbors Association, both at the Corn Hill Arts Festival and during the Corn Hill Holiday Tour of Homes. At 1,106 square feet, it is perfect for a young professional, couple, or empty nester. While the home is priced at $124,900, you get the fascinating back-story for free.

Call Debbi Jacob at Nothnagle Realtors to schedule an appointment (585) 737-3778.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD The International New York Times edition published in Kuala Lumpur on Jan. 22 carried a page-one story noting increased worldwide demand by meat processors for pigs raised in the fresh air rather than enclosed in pens -- illustrated by a photograph of a cluster of pigs feeding in an outdoor stall. However, the Malaysian printer (who had downloaded the digital pages and set them to paper) had added black boxes to cover just the faces of each pig in the photo. “If there is picture of nudes or (the) like, this we will cover (up),” a publisher’s spokesman told the Malay Mail. “This is a Muslim country.” (The story, headline and photo were otherwise identical to the versions that appeared elsewhere in New York Times editions.)

The Entrepreneurial Spirit!

— The convenience beverage market got jumbled recently when, first, Oregon-based Union Wine Co. announced in November that it would soon sell its Underwood pinot gris and pinot noir in 12-ounce cans and, second, the London department store Selfridges unveiled a champagne vending machine for New Year’s celebrations. (The French bottler Moet & Chandon offered bottles of bubbly behind glass doors for the equivalent of $29.)

— Marketing Challenges: (1) “Does Germany really need a gourmet restaurant for dogs?” asked Berlin’s Bild newspaper. Regardless, the Pets Deli in the Grunewald neighborhood of Berlin offers servings for the equivalent of about $4 to $6, either take-out or arranged in metal

bowls on Pets Deli’s floor. Said owner David Spanier, lauding his upscale, healthful treats, “Junk food is bad for animals.” (2) Around Tokyo, “idle boredom is an impossible option,” wrote Vice.com in December, as a reporter described a resort just out of town where one could swim in a pool of green tea, coffee, sake or (the most popular treat) wine. “A giant bottle of merlot” spilled into a pond the size of a minivan, he wrote (while braving the Yunessun resort’s warnings not to drink from the pool). Though bothsex nudity is tolerated in Japan’s hot springs spas, Yunessun discourages it.

Weird Science

— The Joy of Researching: A team of Czech Republic researchers led by Vlastimil Hart, writing in Frontiers in Zoology in December, reported that dogs (among a few mammals), dealing with a nature’s call, spontaneously align their body axis with the Earth’s magnetic field. To reach that conclusion, the researchers said they observed 70 dogs of 37 breeds during defecation (1,893 observations) and urination (5,582) over a two-year period.

— If We Can Do It, We Should Do It: (1) ThinkGeek.com has introduced the Tactical Laser-Guided Pizza Cutter, at a suggested $29.95, for helping to achieve straight-line precision in those difficult four-cut (eight-slice) pizza formulations. (2) From the Japanese lingerie manufacturer Ravijour comes a bra whose front clasp can be locked unless its built-in heart-rate monitor signifies that the heartbeat is characteristic of “true love.” (Ravijour said it is still testing the bra.)

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 30 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Overreacting, jumping to conclusions and showing jealous tendencies will work against you this week. Take a step back and let whoever interests you come to you. Love has to develop naturally, and if it doesn’t, you are wasting time on the wrong person.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Put your heart on the line and share your feelings with someone who makes your heart beat fast and your inhibitions diminish.

Sharing your beliefs, concerns and personal goals will help advance closer to a long-term commitment. Don’t be afraid to say, “I love you.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Before you accept someone’s advances or you say something you don’t mean, think twice.

You are likely to attract someone who takes you seriously, and if you aren’t ready to head down a matrimonial path, be honest about your intentions or motives.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Make special plans to do things you’ve wanted to try for a long time. Something unique will lead to an encounter with someone who has all the attributes you are looking for in a partner. Don’t waste time if you see someone who interests you make your move.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll have trouble making up your mind. Enjoy your time with the people who attract you the most, but don’t feel obliged to make a commitment. Be honest about the way you feel and what you want, and you will buy the time you need to make the right choice.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your high love cycle continues making it most important to attend as many functions and events as possible that are geared toward meeting someone special. Once you do, don’t waste time; make a romantic move, and you’ll be on the road to a long-term relationship.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Problems will develop when it comes to love and romance.

Be cautious of anyone putting pressure on you or who is acting unpredictable. You will attract individuals who are likely to be more of a liability than an asset. Focus on friendship, not a relationship.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Romantic opportunities are in the stars, but you have to make them happen. If you are attracted to someone, do something out of the ordinary and you will win his or her heart. Don’t be shy; show how passionate and entertaining you can be.
