Bishop Clark and a changing church For more than 30 years, Bishop Matthew Clark has led the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester, often through controversial and difficult periods. As Rochester’s population began moving out of the city to the suburbs, the diocese reflected that dramatic change. Many Catholics no longer live in the city, which has precipitated numerous school closings and church consolidations.

While Clark has taken some criticism for the closings, they are not unique to the Rochester Diocese, he said in a recent interview. But the closings are bound to have some impact on the

Diocese’s ability to build new generations of Catholics. Developing a new model for reaching out to Catholics will likely be an important responsibility for Clark’s successor.

Catholic bishops are required to retire at age 75.

For Clark that time will come in July 2012.

Clark is often viewed as one of the Catholic Church’s less conservative bishops. In a recent interview, he discussed the challenges of closing Rochester’s Catholic schools, managing a shrinking diocese, and the sex abuse scandals.

I live in Rochester, have two grandchildren in the Rochester school district, have been an educator since 1964, mentor an inner-city high school student, worked on the Children’s Zone for over four years, and volunteer in RCSD schools.

In your February 15 Urban Journal, “Rochester’s Children and Our 5-percent Shame,” you said, “But we haven’t done much that makes much difference.” So I asked myself, “What would make a difference?”

It would make a difference if more community organizations and businesses supported The Children’s Agenda (http://www. thechildrensagenda.org) as outlined in their 2010 Community Action Plan: 1) Expansion of the Nurse-Family Partnership, a parenting program that serves teen mothers, single parents, and parents living in poverty; 2) Expansion of early childhood education, including child care and evidence-based early education programs, and 3) Support for after-school programs, including expansion of the Coping Power Program created to reduce violence and aggressive behavior in youth.

It would make a difference if the Rochester school district implemented a world-class, comprehensive literacy and numeracy development program that would significantly improve the teaching of reading, writing, listening, speaking, and mathematics for students in grades K-8. No RCSD high school graduate should need to take remedial reading, writing, or math when they enter college or the workforce.

It would make a difference if more community members and business leaders were involved in some aspect of Rochester Mentors (http://www.rochestermentors.org),

either as an adult friend of a child or by adding strength to mentoring by offering a site visit or activity that mentors and mentees could enjoy.

DONALD BARTALO, ROCHESTER

Socialism — and extinction

Ove Overmyer proposes to raise taxes on the wealthy and on businesses, particularly those who are the most successful at making money (“A Fairer Way to Fix the Budget,” February 2). This is a perfect formula for making New York State extinct. It begins with the premise that redistribution of wealth is desirable, a tenet with which I wholly disagree.

As an individual examining the possibility of opening a new firm in New York State, why would I ever choose to do so? Any wealth I or my employees might gain will be heavily taxed to pay for exorbitantly paid state and teachers-union employees, with exorbitantly state-financed pensions and health care. My company will be taxed exorbitantly relative to many other states before I get paid for risking my capital on a new start-up company.

It is time the rest of us New Yorkers began to realize that we are rapidly killing the geese that lay the golden eggs. Wall Street and the business community are rapidly moving south and overseas. Businesses are finding it increasingly expensive to do business in New York State. We have gone past the point where inertia keeps businesses in New York; businesses are now strategically planning movement out.

Unless New York takes actions similar to New Jersey to rein in their budgets and social programs, there will be no one here to pay the bills except seniors who dread the thought of moving and social-services recipients who get some of the largest payouts in the nation.

Mr. Golisano sounded the alarm bell when he moved to Florida. I’ll offer an additional example: Schenectady. GE was by far the largest employer in the area in the mid 50’s. It paid good wages, it was growing rapidly, and Schenectady was known as the Home of GE. The City of Schenectady, in its wisdom, continuously raised the taxes on GE throughout the 50’s. GE complained each year to the city council — which was

heavily Democratic — that the taxes could not be sustained.

GE said that it would have to relocate its business elsewhere.

Each year, the city raised taxes.

GE stopped building new facilities in the late 50’s; it moved a large portion of the plant to the Carolinas, and Schenectady ceased to be the world headquarters for GE. In fact, Schenectady became a ghost town of closed retail shops and closed machine shops which had supported the GE manufacturing programs.

President Obama’s budget-reducing proposal to freeze spending at 2010 levels is a perfect example of liberal mentality applied to economics. Raise expenditures by 40 percent over two years, then freeze them at that level and claim we are saving money. The 2010 election pretty clearly stated that the above mentality was not accepted by the majority of mainstreet Americans. New York is in worse economic condition than most of the country because it is more liberal than the rest of the country, with similar disastrous exceptions such as California and Illinois.

The fact that we are more liberal will unfortunately allow Mr. Overmyer’s proposals to be considered and even partially implemented. Sadly, this will force a huge economic disaster to occur in the very near future, and the businesses whose jobs are needed to get New York through the disaster will have already planned an exit. The potential new jobs such as I am contemplating will never appear in New York State but will begin life in North Carolina or Tennessee.

Free enterprise and the creation of wealth is the foundation on which this nation is built. Socialism, and the taxes needed to support it on a significant scale, will stymie the growth potential capitalism offers. Socialism is easy for politicians, because they don’t pay for it — we do. More wealth and business growth in New York offers increased taxes over the long term; increased taxes on wealth do nothing in the long term except drive wealth elsewhere. Politicians often have a two-year view; if you live in New York, you better have a 10year view, or you will be rapidly approaching extinction!

Isn’t it rich?

As government officials have announced budget cuts, the news releases and appeals from school districts, government workers, and non-profits have come, day after day, outlining the programs that are threatened, the damage that will be done.

Public broadcasting… Planned Parenthood… education …. The Children’s Agenda and the Rochester Area Community Foundation are protesting Governor Cuomo’s plan to cut programs that help children. Among them: Rochester’s Nurse-Family Partnership, a proven program that works with lowincome parents. We’re going to cut funding for programs that save children, keep them healthy, help them grow into productive, stable adults. Are we out of our mind?

If government spends too much, I agree: it should stop. I myself can think of areas we should cut. Military weapons, for instance. Star Wars. Unjustified and unjustifiable wars.

And I’m sure there’s a little fat in everything. And fraud, here and there.

But much of this Big Government, Big Spending argument is coming from two quarters: 1) People with an ideological agenda — abortion opponents, for instance.

2) People who don’t want the government to spend money on the less fortunate. Spending money on the less fortunate goes against their principles: if you’re rich, you deserve to be; if you’re not, it’s your own fault.

Politicians siding with both groups wrap their argument in the cloak of fiscal responsibility. I’m all for fiscal responsibility, and it’s fiscally irresponsible to engage in war in two countries and cut taxes at the same time. However, if you believe that we ought to squeeze every dime we can out of social-service spending, cutting taxes while we go to war is a pretty neat way to do it.

I wonder, though, what most Americans think. Do we have a responsibility to help the less fortunate?

It’s hard to argue that the rich can’t afford to pay a bit more in taxes.

Historically, they’ve had much higher tax rates. And my guess is that some of them would hardly notice the bite that new taxes would take out of their disposable income.

I’ve been keeping a file I’ve labeled “Rich,” clippings from that abundant resource of promotions for pricey merchandise, the New York Times. The Sunday Times Style magazine showed a weird little skirt available for $10,250.

Back in October, a Times ad featured a

The US has the third highest rate of income inequality among advanced economies, behind only Hong Kong and Singapore.” watch for $525,000. (People buy this stuff, apparently.)

There’s also an article about a man who paid $9700 for two tickets to the Super Bowl. And a report that Goldman Sachs’ chief executive earned $13.2 million in 2010 — during a recession caused in part

by Wall Street shenanigans. The head of JPMorgan Chase, says another article, was expected to earn “at least $17.5 million.”

Over the past 30 years in the US, Mother Jones reported recently, most of the growth of wealth has gone to the top 1 percent of income earners.

The US, the Times’ Charles Blow noted recently, has the third highest rate of income inequality among advanced economies, behind only Hong Kong and Singapore.

Maybe we don’t care. Maybe that’s the kind of country we all want. That certainly seems to be the kind of country Republican leaders in Washington want. And too many Democrats are either buying into it or are afraid to object.

The kind of budget planning we’re embarking on is, as my mother used to say, penny wise and pound foolish. We’ll all pay for it — for the failure to invest in the health of women and children, the education of our youth, the repair of our infrastructure, the health of our planet, and the bankrupting of our principles — in the end. But the payment won’t come due for a while. Meanwhile, cutting the deficit, cutting taxes, cutting government just sounds so sensible. So American.

And craftily, Republican leaders — joined by many Democrats — have diverted attention away from equality and fairness.

Away from the growing wealth of the wealthy. The debate, as several commentators have put it, has become one of unionized workers against non-unionized workers.

Mayoral petitions Smaller East Ave. invalidated Wegmans The independent petitions Bill Johnson and Ann Lewis filed to run for mayor have been invalidated. Each candidate faced specific objections to their petitions and each were found to have less than 1,500 valid signatures.

Johnson wasn’t knocked off of the ballot entirely, since he has the endorsements of the Working Families and Independence Parties.

Lewis, however, won’t appear on the ballot and reportedly is running a write-in campaign.

GOP picks Corwin to run for Congress

Republican Party leaders from across western New York unanimously selected State Assembly member Jane Corwin to run for the 26th Congressional District seat.

This is the seat formerly held by Chris Lee, who resigned after getting caught responding to a Craigslist personal ad.

Corwin has also received the backing of the Monroe County Conservative Party. Dems are accepting resumes from people interested in running for the seat and will hold interviews soon.

News

New designs shrink the size of the proposed new East Avenue Wegmans store and include more windows on the East Avenue side of the building.

The original design called for a 108,500-square-foot store. The store under the new design would be 95,000 square feet. The original plan called for 18 percent of the side of the building facing East to be windows. The new plan ups that to 55 percent.

Determined Divas build self-respect

Another Rahn convicted

Irondequoit Police Officer Chad Rahn was convicted of computer trespassing, official misconduct, and criminal facilitation. The court said Rahn used his position to identify a man who had tipped-off authorities about a Rahn acquaintance suspected of growing marijuana in his home. The acquaintance later assaulted the tipster. Rahn’s sentencing will be in April, and he could face up to four years in prison. Rahn’s father, former Greece Police Chief Merritt Rahn, is in prison for an unrelated crime.

“Diva” often refers to a temperamental female singer. But the word can also have a positive meaning: a woman with determination and self-respect. That’s the foundation of a grassroots program called Determined Divas.

The program, which was started in February 2009, began with 25 teenage girls from the Rochester school district with histories of suspensions, many of them for gang-related fighting. Becoming a Diva, however, requires a commitment to change.

Beverly Jackson: Helping girls “do something better” with their lives.

PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

“The Number 1 thing we look for is, you have to want to do something better with your life,” says Beverly Jackson, the program’s creator. The girls were in the city school district’s I’m Ready program, which is intended to help suspended students make their transition back into school.

Many of the girls were coping with a lot of anger, says Jackson, who is also senior youth intervention specialist for the city’s Pathways to Peace program.

“I tell them you’re probably going to see someone you once had a conflict with,” says Jackson. “But you have to leave that behind.”

Jackson meets with the girls every other week for activities ranging from horseback riding to attending football games. Women whom Jackson calls her “older divas” help with mentoring.

The girls also have to find a part-time job, and they have to volunteer some of their time to community service.

About 45 young women are now in the Determined Divas program, and Jackson says only two from the original 25 had to repeat I’m Ready.

And a colleague, she says, has formed a complimentary program for young men called Good Fellas.

Cuomo proposes that redistricting be done by an independent commission; a pool of potential members would be selected by an appointed nominating committee. Alesi says that with any redistricting bill, there’s still potential for political influence in the appointment process.

Alesi, Robach unsure on redistricting

Oversight office?

Brooks says no

In last fall’s election, state Legislature candidates threw their support behind a highly-publicized reform agenda that included a promise to enact independent redistricting.

Now legislators have to choose whether to make good on the pledge. Governor Andrew Cuomo has submitted independent redistricting legislation to the Senate and Assembly, and last week the political maneuvering started.

Senate Democrats accused their Republican counterparts of trying to kill the proposal by using procedural rules to hold it in the Rules Committee. (In the Assembly, Speaker Sheldon Silver is the bill’s sponsor.)

Democrats have also gone after specific Republicans, including Rochester-area Senator Jim Alesi. He serves on the Rules Committee and also signed the New York Uprising pledge, which included a general commitment to independent redistricting.

The Democrats’ spokesman, Austin Shafran, sent out a press release that accused Alesi of backing out of the pledge.

Cuomo sent the legislation down while legislators were not in Albany, and in an interview late last week, Alesi said he hadn’t read it yet.

“Let’s just say I’m supportive of the concept,” Alesi said.

Cuomo proposes that redistricting be done by an independent commission; a pool of

potential members would be selected by an appointed nominating committee. Alesi says his concern with any redistricting bill is that there’s still potential for political influence in the appointment process.

Rochester-area Senator Joe Robach, who doesn’t serve on the Rules Committee, also signed the pledge. In an interview last week, he said he’d look at Cuomo’s bill but, like Alesi, he didn’t promise his support.

Robach prefers his own redistricting bill —patterned after an approach Iowa uses — that he sponsors with Democratic Buffalo Assembly member Mark Schroeder. It would establish a five-member committee, with four members appointed by Legislature leaders. The four appointed members would then select the fifth.

As for Democrats’ accusations that Republicans are holding up the Cuomo proposal, Robach said they could have passed a redistricting bill when they were in the majority.

Legislature Democrats want the county to establish an Office of Public Integrity, but County Executive Maggie Brooks’ administration doesn’t support that idea. | Legislature Dems proposed the office last week in response to a series of county government scandals. The office would be able to perform audits and spot check financial records of county departments, authorities, and LDCs. The office would report to a five-member public integrity board, whose members would be appointed by the county executive and the Legislature’s minority and majority leaders. | “In order to restore the public’s trust in the county administration, the county administration needs to make some changes,” said Democrat Carrie Andrews, who’s sponsoring legislation that would create the office. | But the proposal is a non-starter and it’s redundant, says county spokesperson Noah Lebowitz. The county already has an Independent Accountability Counsel, which runs a whistleblower hotline and can independently investigate any allegations, he says. The county also has an internal audit division in the finance department. | “The Democrats’ claim that such an office would prevent unethical behavior from ever taking place is disingenuous and a purely political statement,” Lebowitz says.

Two lawsuits, a handful of conspiracy theories, and countless twists and turns later, we may have reached the end of the political and legal drama that has enveloped the city over the last few weeks. Unless we haven’t.

A judge dismissed a lawsuit this week brought by former mayoral hopeful Harry Davis against City Council and Acting Mayor Carlos Carballada. In his suit, Davis said that Council violated the City Charter by not appointing someone to replace former Mayor Bob Duffy. Under the City Charter, that person would have served until the end of this year, and voters would have selected a new mayor in a general election in the fall.

Council instead opted for a March 29 special election. Council President Lovely Warren said that Council could not agree on whom to appoint.

Supreme Court Justice John Ark agreed that the Charter mandates Council to make an interim appointment. But, he said, the court could not intervene.

“A court cannot order a legislative body how to vote,” Ark’s decision says. “A court can vacate an unlawful legislative action, but a court cannot vacate a legislative inaction.

City Council’s failure to appoint by a majority vote was a legislative inaction.”

Davis’s suit also challenged Carballada’s authority to act as mayor. Carballada became acting mayor through an emergency provision in City Code after former Acting Mayor Tom Richards, facing his own legal questions, abruptly resigned.

Davis and his attorney, Art Giacalone, argued that Richards’ resignation didn’t rise to a level to trigger the emergency provision. Ark, though calling the process “extraordinarily convoluted,” said Carballada’s succession is lawful.

Ark also pointed out that if Council had made an interim appointment or if Richards

had appointed a deputy, much of the subsequent chaos could’ve been avoided.

Ark’s decision, unless it’s overturned — and Giacalone says he and Davis are considering an appeal — eliminates a serious risk. If he had ruled for Davis, there might have been additional lawsuits challenging the legality of any actions Carballada had taken while he was serving as acting mayor.

Davis’ suit and the one that preceded it — that case was also dismissed — have focused attention on critical changes that need to be made to the City Charter.

Council President Warren has said that the Charter needs revision so the city never finds itself in a similar situation again.

The whole situation was unusual, and

grew out of unusual circumstances: Duffy’s resignation only a year into his second term, confusion over state and local laws governing how public officials are chosen, ambiguity in the City Charter, and the application of the federal Hatch Act. Richards resigned over Hatch, which prohibits some public officials from being active politically. A complaint against Richards was filed by Jim McTiernan, president of the city firefighters union.

But critics say the law is reactionary — typically only applied when someone makes a complaint — and vague. Theoretically, they say, it could be interpreted to prevent many people from running for office. For example: could the Hatch Act have affected Mike Green’s first district attorney run, when he was an assistant district attorney?

Or could deputy county clerk Kirk Morris have Hatch trouble when he runs for reelection to the Greece Town Board?

Richards’ resignation ended the scrutiny of his activities.

Bishop Matthew Clark

AND A CHANGING

CHURCH RELIGION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Bishop Matthew Clark: As he prepares for retirement, he leads a Diocese vastly different from the one he came to. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

On a frigid January morning, Bishop Matthew Clark could be seen kneeling in prayer off in a corner of Sacred Heart Cathedral. Though he is a tall, slender man, he seemed small and vulnerable next to a large stained-glass window with its brilliant shades of red, blue, and purple.

But Clark is hardly a small figure in the Rochester region. For more than 30 years, he has led the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester, through often controversial and difficult periods. As the City of Rochester lost thousands of jobs and its population began moving to the suburbs, the Rochester Diocese changed dramatically, too. Many Catholics no longer live in the city, Clark said in a recent interview, which has precipitated a long and painful process of closing both churches and schools. Clark has taken some criticism for the closings and church consolidations, but they are not unique to Rochester.

There are about 314,000 Catholics in the Rochester Diocese, which includes Monroe and 11 surrounding counties. While there were about 30 schools in Monroe County when Clark took office, there are now 10 elementary schools, one middle school, and four independent high schools — and only 24 in the entire diocese.

How these closings will impact the diocese over the long term is hard to say. But clearly, the traditional model for developing new generations of Catholics isn’t as effective as it once was. And new methods for reaching out to Catholics are needed. That will likely be an important responsibility for Clark’s replacement.

Catholic bishops are required to retire at age 75. For Clark, that time will come in July 2012.

“That begins the Congregation of Bishops, which is the process for identifying who will succeed you,” Clark said. He has no idea, he said, who will become the area’s next bishop. But Clark, who is originally from Waterford, New York, said he hopes he will be allowed to stay in the Rochester region, which he describes as his home.

Clark is often viewed as one of the Catholic Church’s less conservative, more inclusive bishops. Women play a greater role in mass, and Clark is welcoming to the gay community, though he remains firmly against same-sex marriage.

He doesn’t shy away from discussions about the sexual abuse scandals that have shaken the Roman Catholic Church. He obviously wishes the abuses had never occurred because of the anguish they caused to the victims. He also acknowledges that they continue to hurt the credibility of bishops and priests, and it’s taking time to rebuild the public’s trust, he says.

In the interview, Clark talked about the decision to close many of Rochester’s Catholic schools, his concerns about a shrinking diocese, and the sex-abuse scandals. The following is an edited version of that discussion.

City

MARCH 2-8, 2011

City: Catholic schools were such an integral part of almost every parish at one time. What happened to cause so many to close?

Clark: If we go back to the beginning of

this diocese in 1868, our first bishop, Bishop Bernard McQuaid, was charged as I am with the care of the community. And that community was largely an immigrant community, people starting fresh in a new land that was not always friendly toward their faith. His primary concern was to educate the people so they would remain good and strong Catholics and also good citizens.

It was his judgment that this was best done through Catholic schools. When a new parish was established, the first task was to establish a school.

Fast-forward to post-World War II America. You had social policy that encouraged people to move out of the cities and to the suburbs. The construction of our highway system invited people to leave the city.

Another sweeping change was that Catholics began to join the mainstream in terms of their economic situation and acceptance into society in general. When McQuaid came along, this was a time when “Irish need not apply,” so to speak. But then the Irish began to head corporations, become senators, and do everything else in between. So we had immense changes over that period of time.

Today’s Catholics are making their own choices about education for their children. And many of them with the means to send them to a Catholic school are opting to send them to local public schools and trusting the religious formation of their children to themselves, of course, and to their parish programs.

Paralleling that sweep to the suburbs and the greater educational achievement of Catholics, we also have the truth that what were left in the city were a lot of poor people who didn’t have the means to move out. As a result of the out-migration from the city and the in-migration of people who were often not Catholic like those early immigrants, we didn’t have the same number of children to fill our schools.

How did you try to manage this? Did you have a strategy to counter the impact of these changes?

My concern during my tenure has been the gradual dying of our schools from the inside out. It was like a big pit was being dug, and if you were poor, your shot at a Catholic education was disappearing.

So within that framework, we tried to organize within a county system that would invite contributions — well, “invite” is too nice a word — require contributions of different levels from all of our parishes in Monroe County.

When I would go to private donors, they would say, “Look, I believe in Catholic education, but don’t ask me to give you money for your city schools when you’ve got two halfempty schools so close to each other.”

So we went through a very painful period about two years ago when we announced the closings of 13 of our schools. It was done always with the hope that we could preserve the possibility for a Catholic education in this county for those parents who wanted it for their children.

And it was my special concern, and certainly not mine only, that we do everything possible to leave the option open for the poor, because it has been demonstrated that the opportunity for a Catholic education can really make a positive difference.

We’re at a point now that our Cathedral School at Holy Rosary on Lexington Avenue and Mother of Sorrows in Greece are closing for want of enrollment.

We are reopening Holy Cross in Charlotte, hoping that the great majority of students from both of those schools will be attracted to that school. The current principal for Cathedral School at Holy Rosary will be the principal of Holy Cross, so there will be continuity for parents and students.

What about charter schools? The state has permitted more of them to open, and they don’t charge tuition. Are you losing students to them?

I can’t document the impact charter schools have had on our schools. I know that our enrollment steadily declines in the city and across our system. Even when we announced those closings two years ago, we also reduced tuitions, but that did not stem the decline.

I cannot say whether the charter schools are drawing a high number of students who might otherwise be with us. The fact is that charter schools are funded by the state, so in that sense they operate a bit like the public schools. But we’re excluded by the state constitution from receiving state funds, which kind of puzzles me.

In our [Catholic] city schools, the majority of our students are not Catholic.

How many Catholic schools were there in Monroe County?

Every parish, just about, had a school. I would say there had to be at least 30.

I would add, just for the historical reference, that what we’re experiencing here in Rochester is replicating itself in our sister dioceses: Albany, Syracuse, and Buffalo. I know, too, that Brooklyn and the Archdiocese of New York are going through it. New York just announced that they are going to close 27 schools in June, at the end of the school year.

I think it’s important that people understand that this is not because of some delinquency or failure on our part. It’s just a part of the great cultural shifts of the times we live in. We have to deal with it, because if we don’t, it will only get worse.

The maintenance and repairs, not to mention the energy costs, for those buildings has to be astronomical. What have you done with

those old buildings? Have you sold them or found a reuse for them?

It varies. Sometimes the schools are part of a larger parish campus, and the whole complex is closing down. In other situations we may have a vibrant parish, but not the school anymore, though we may still have that building.

In the former, we try to sell the property.

And we’re always mindful of the fact that we want that property used for a purpose that in some way honors the dignity of its original use. Very often they will become child-care centers, community centers, and sometimes parishes convert them to meeting rooms and conference centers, things like that.

We’ve also sold to other faith groups.

We’ve talked about Catholic schools closing.

Have the closings and consolidations of city churches been part of same problem?

Yes, it’s been pretty much part of the same issue. And we’ve tried to dispose of them in the same dignified way.

Generally, we’ve been successful, thank God, because you know, even though we closed the building, we’re still the owner. And that comes with so many responsibilities.

That has to be an unusual real estate transaction, because how many buyers are in the market for a large Catholic church in the city?

Sure, that’s right. But as we talked about earlier, a lot of people that come into the city now are not of our faith tradition. And some of them are buying our churches. We’ve had black congregations of Baptist and other faith traditions take them.

To us, that’s a beautiful thing. We honor their faith, and a space that no longer meets our needs is something that is good for them.

At Holy Rosary, which is a very beautiful campus, we’re seriously exploring how that may become urban housing through our housing subsidiary with Catholic Charities.

They develop fine housing for special constituencies, those who have special needs or need low-rent consideration.

It would be a dignified use for that campus, and it could a tremendous contribution to the neighborhood, which needs a shot in the arm.

Guiding this transition probably wasn’t anything you could have prepared for, was it?

No, these are not things for which bishops receive handbooks. That’s been one of the things that I kept thinking about preparing for this interview: all of the changes in our culture that have happened just here locally.

I mean, it’s incredible. When I came here, Kodak employed something like 60,000 people in Greater Rochester. And of course, there was no internet.

If you consider that the whole world is changing at a swimmingly fast pace, why do we think that the church doesn’t have to change along with that? I don’t mean in our

IF YOU CONSIDER THAT THE WHOLE WORLD IS CHANGING AT A SWIMMINGLY FAST PACE, WHY DO WE THINK THAT THE CHURCH DOESN’T HAVE TO CHANGE ALONG WITH THAT?” foundational beliefs, but in how we organize ourselves. It’s an exciting challenge, but it’s not an easy one. And I don’t mean just for the bishop. I mean for all of us.

How does the Rochester diocese grow at this point? Where is the Catholic Church finding new parishioners?

Population growth is flat in the region, and the city is really losing population.

Without the influx of migrants here, particularly those from Latin American nations, we’d be going down. These are people who come here for employment reasons or to join their families.

It’s not much better in the suburbs, because a lot of our young people are moving away. It’s always been ironic to me that we have all these fine colleges and universities, but there aren’t sufficient jobs here to keep as many young people as we would like.

And many of our marvelous young people go off to college somewhere else — the Carolinas, for example — and they’re inclined to stay there.

We’re all rooting for our new governor and other elected officials to help us get out of this difficult time. A better economic situation in Upstate New York would help everyone, including those of us in the faith community.

You talked about the Catholics who were the early Catholic immigrants to this country, most of them bringing their faith with them.

What does it mean to be a Catholic-American today? Who are they?

I think they are everyone — from the CEOs of some of our most prestigious corporations to something like a third of the US Senate and God knows how many state legislators, to the poorest of the poor who risk everything to come here to harvest our apples. The economic and educational extremes are all represented.

One of our concerns, sort of a subset of the question you’re asking, is that middle group — the mass-going population. They are not there for us the way they used to be. That’s not peculiar to either our faith tradition or our diocese. But it’s something a lot of us are dealing with.

Certainly that happens because people may be discontent with us about something.

Maybe they think we’re dinosaurs and out of touch. But I think some of it has to do with people being so busy. There are just so many demands on our time.

Are the reports of a shortage of young men entering the priesthood correct?

Right now, we’re older and fewer in numbers than I think is good for us. I think the next few years will be very challenging for us to fully and adequately supply the priests to carry on the ministry in our parishes.

Having said that, we’re doing all right for now [in the Rochester Diocese]. There is no parish church that we can’t provide sufficient priests for mass on Sunday, and in most cases, masses through the week.

But we need to beef up our numbers in the years ahead. And I’m pleased to tell you that right now, we’ve had a very nice uptick at that earlier stage. This year we have about 17 students studying theology in preparation for priesthood, which at least doubles the size over what we had two or three years ago. And we have prospects for the following year for possibly four or five more.

Now understand, these men are not yet ordained. But we have what I will say is a pleasing critical mass of young candidates on the way. And I have to say that is encouraging.

Have the sexual abuse scandals that rocked the Catholic Church also hurt recruitment of priests?

It’s hard to answer that question. Before they emerged, and for a while after that high point of attention to them, we were in a valley for vocations.

We’re now nine years beyond that crucible time. I have to stop and say that all of us wish that this never happened. And God forbid that it should ever happen again.

But I do think it damaged and diminished the teaching authority of bishops. I think we’ve lost the confidence of some people.

I have to assume in some potential priest candidates it snuffed out the smoldering wick.

But others seem to understand that this doesn’t define priesthood. And in the ashes of it all, God has given us a new life, a resurrection. I hope that’s the case.

There was a period of time following the scandal when there was some question about whether gay men should be allowed to become priests. What’s your view?

I know some magnificent gay priests. If they are openly gay in terms of living a lifestyle that is incompatible with their basic commitments, we have to intervene. continues on page 11 rochestercitynewspaper.com

But I have always tried to be open to such candidates. There was, as you know, a lot of attention given to that by the Holy See [the Vatican] over the years, and one of their statements left the impression that under no circumstances could a person of gay orientation be ordained a priest. And that’s not so.

If a person’s sense of himself as a gay individual inevitably leads him to campaign against the church’s formal teachings or live a lifestyle that is upsetting to the community or scandalous, such a person would not be an apt candidate for the priesthood.

But if a person understands that and lives a lifestyle that is compatible with what we ask of all of our priests, then I’m happy to receive them.

We’re in this extremely difficult period of time. We’re in two wars; we’re climbing out of a devastating recession where millions of Americans have lost their job or home. And we seem to be so divided along political lines. As a spiritual leader, what worries you about all of this?

Disconnection — losing our sense of community.

I think the fruits of that show up in partisanship and taking ideological positions that become more and more rigid.

There’s this sense that I have to defend to the death my way of looking at something.

But when you do that, you lose the capacity to negotiate, to understand differences, and mend fences, and ultimately try to achieve something in common. I’m afraid we’re going to lose that if the trends that I see continue. And that would be devastating to the human family.

I think we have to be much more humble in our strongest convictions, with the realization that no one of us possesses the whole truth. No one of us captures reality perfectly. We can always learn from one another.

I’m not taking pot shots at one political party or another. They all say we’re in a terrible situation and that we have to work together to come out of it. Well, let’s hope and pray that happens. But that’s not going to happen unless everyone loosens their grip a little bit.

There’s a wonderful spiritual tradition among the Jesuits. St. Ignatius wanted his followers to always be people for others.

There’s an enormously freeing bit of wisdom there, because looking at the other, you find yourself.

Dark Horse Coffee (pictured) is set to open its new Village Gate location this month. PHOTOS BY MATT DETURCK

Coffee klatch [ CHOW HOUND ] BY SUSIE HUME

For the last half-decade coffee prices have risen steadily, and in the last 12 months they hit their peak by almost doubling, leaving many coffee lovers concerned and some coffee houses out of business. With national coffeehouses raising their prices by 10 percent or more, it’s no surprise that local coffee shops are also feeling the pain.

Spin Caffe surprised many when it unexpectedly closed all three of its locations (739 Park Ave, 2 State St, 229 Mill St) last month. Attempts to reach owner Kirk Bethel went unreturned, although the landlord of the Park Avenue location confirmed that Spin is indeed out of business, and all locations have signs up stating that they are closed.

The coffeehouse, which opened in 2000, was popular for its variety of coffees, lattes, and teas, as well as several food options, including paninis, soups, and pastries.

Those who were part of Spin Caffe’s mug program (wherein mug owners received discounted coffee fill-ups) may think their discount days are over, but Living Room Café (1118 Monroe Ave) has a solution: the mug amnesty program. Spin mug owners can bring their cups to the Upper Monroe coffeehouse and swap them out at no charge. The first fill-up will be free, and mug owners can enjoy fill-ups at discounted prices thereafter. For more information visit TheLivingRoomCafe.com.

Spot Coffee also made a surprising announcement last month — a proposed private-placement financing arrangement (the

sale of securities to a relatively small number of investors through private rather than public channels) in order to raise funds to complete the renovations of the coffeehouse located at 200 East Ave. According to a press release on the company’s website (spot.com), the goal is to raise upwards of $1.15 million at 10 cents a unit. Purchased shares will also reportedly help fund new locations in Buffalo and Toronto.

The coffeehouse and restaurant is still slated to reopen this spring, with a fully renovated kitchen that will include gourmet pizza offerings.

While news of rising prices and coffeehouse closings has some worried, others are pushing forward with gusto. When Bonnie Haley closed the doors of Dark Horse Coffee on Dewey Avenue at the end of last year due to an inability to reach a lease agreement with the building’s new owners, she promised her patrons that she would scout a new location and re-open in a couple of months. Her plan will come to fruition when the coffeehouse re-opens next week, filling a niche in the Neighborhood of the Arts-located Village Gate (274 N. Goodman St). The shop will be situated in the space formerly occupied by Bodhi’s Cafe & Lounge (across from California Rollin’), a 2,500square-foot space that is three times the size of Dark Horse’s former Maplewood location.

Haley says that she plans to continue offering the same food and beverages that made the coffeehouse popular in its previous incarnation, plus a few new items. The drink menu features gourmet coffees from local roaster Coffee Connection, as well as lattes, espressos, cappuccinos, and teas. The menu

also features breakfast and lunch selections from breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and pizzas to afternoon eats like several panini options (including Cajun chicken, tomato and basil, and roast beef with ranchero sauce) and salads and fresh fruits. New offerings will include pastries (from local bakers like Newbury Park, Elegant Expressions, and Baker Street Bakery) and kid-friendly options like oatmeal and peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches. Prices range from $2.50 to $4.50 for drinks, and $6 to $8 for salads and sandwiches.

Friday nights at Dark Horse Coffee will continue to be open-mic night, and Haley intends to get her entertainment license soon so that the coffeehouse can feature live bands.

She will also work on obtaining a beer and wine license to round out the offerings.

“Yes, coffee prices have gone up. It’s a hard time right now and everyone is affected by the rising prices because you can’t survive if you eat the costs,” says Haley, who also notes that she recently hired a former Spin Caffe barista.

“But I don’t plan to close our doors anytime soon — we’re just re-opening them.”

Haley plans to open Dark Horse Coffee by the second week in March, though people are urged to check the website (darkhorsecoffee.net) or Facebook page for a confirmed launch date.

The hours will be Monday-Thursday 7 a.m.-5 p.m., Friday and Saturday 7 a.m.-9 p.m., and Sunday 9 a.m.-5 p.m., though hours are subject to change as Haley settles into the new location.

Closings

The long-standing Duchess Restaurant (2160 Penfield Road) closed its doors last month after two decades in business. The Penfield restaurant was known for its versatile menu — including several seafood and veal choices, as well as many diner-like selections from breakfast to burgers and meatloaf — all rolled up in a comfortable, family-restaurant setting. Attempts to reach owner George Naselaris went unreturned, but the windows have been lined with brown paper and a sign in the window thanks patrons for their 20 years of business.

After little more than a year, Sunrise Steakhouse (945 Jefferson Road) has closed.

The Asian restaurant — which featured unique selections from hibachi-grillprepared foods to shabu shabu (Chinese hot-pot cooking) as well as sushi and sashimi — celebrated its grand opening in December 2009. The Henrietta restaurant was a sister restaurant to Sakura Home in Pittsford and Shogun Palace in Irondequoit. Attempts to reach owner Mark Teng went unreturned.

[ REVIEW ] BY EMILY FAITH

Brian Langlinais

Hot on the heels of last year’s reissue of “Crossover,” the 1987 album that helped to mint the crossover genre between hardcore punk and thrash metal, Dirty Rotten Imbeciles are back on the road, and picking up notable speed. Original members Spike Cassidy on guitar and vocalist Kurt Brecht were joined by drummer Rob Rampy and bassist Harald Oimoen for the band’s Thursday-night show at Montage Music Hall. The mix of old and new talent was raw and relentless.

Fans were quick to rush the stage for the occasional dive while reciting the lyrics to the group’s formidable anthems.

I had a quick chat with Brecht before the show about what it’s like to be playing in front of packed audiences mostly made up of fans that weren’t even conceived back when the band got its start. Back in 1982 the band practiced at Brecht’s Texas home, and were frequently called a bunch of “dirty, rotten imbeciles” by Brecht’s father, a.k.a. “Madman.”

Brecht made a great point about how people these days listen to better music then our parents did, so they in turn are raising a whole new crowd of DRI fans. He’s thrilled

present their next multi-DJ event. Syracuse’s Mike Sims brings a funky tribal bass-driven techno vibe to the party. Revel in the happy hardcore stylings of Bliss, drum and bass delights from Bones Jones, and dubstep by way of Rainbow Kandicaine. Local favorites Jon Herbert, Al Desalvo, Mark Omni, Rob Morley, Clive, Craven Morehead, DeeJay Bizmuth, Our Baby, and Flex are all on deck as well. The party is open across three dance floors with swirling visuals by Mike Dailor, not to mention the verbal prowess of local MCs Jumper, Harvey Wallbanger, and MC Scatter to round out the night. — BY EMILY FAITH

Brian Langlinais, the American roadhouse as we know it will survive for at least a little while longer. On his new LP “Tonight I Might” Langlinais keeps it simple and swinging full of guitar boogie and soul. Perhaps more well known for his work with Walt Wilkins and the Mystiqueros, it’s on this disc that Langlinais’s music, pure American roadhouse soul, and humor — just dig “Don’t Shoot The Snake At The Bottom Of The Boat” — truly shine. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

when he sees a crowd made up of old and new fans of all ages. A new album and more touring across the country (and overseas) is in the works. The band’s current label, Beer City, has reissued most of DRI’s formerly out-of-print releases.

I rubbed elbows with one local mom who was sweet enough to bring her 16year-old son to the show along with a few of his friends. She was never really into thrash metal or anything close, but she knows it’s her son’s favorite band, so she kept watchful eye as the boys clung to the front of the stage in amazement and awe.

The violent activity within the pit raged behind the kids and got a touch over the top; Brecht stopped the show at least twice to get people to back off and stop fighting. The Montage offers a conducive environment for a little aggressive slam dancing and stage diving, so it’s understandable that things can get out of hand. But modern concert audiences need to remember that we are all a little older and wiser, and ought to be able to behave ourselves so future generations can enjoy our musical roots harmoniously.

What are the benefits to your style of playing?

I would hate to say it has advantages over the other way, but I can give you a list of reasons why that is. For instance, when you play traditional bar chords you’ve got your strongest finger anchored down doing nothing. So when I flip it over I can use my pinky or my ring finger to do nothing. I can also use my thumb, so I’ve got five fingers instead of four.

And the disadvantages?

Close your eyes and guitarist Sam Snyder’s guitar playing is chunky, rhythmic, and powerful. Nothing cataclysmic or particularly mind-blowing, but the kid can really play.

It’s when you see his technique — left hand over the top of the fret board — that you realize this is no ordinary guitar slinger. Meet Overhand Sam. Snyder’s unconventional approach makes sense to him; it’s the only way he’s ever played.

A skateboard accident coupled with teenage boredom brought Snyder and the guitar together. Initially dismissed as quirky or simply wrong, people shut up once they heard how well he could play.

Six years into his musical career Snyder is rapidly making a name for himself playing in his Sam Snyder Trio, and as a member of bands like Day of Kings and The Josh Netsky Band, as well as sitting in with The Buddhahood and Audio Influx. They all want some Overhand Sam, and so do we.

So we had a little conversation with the unconventional guitarist. Below is an edited transcript of what he said.

CITY: Why play overhand, Sam? Sam Snyder: Right before I started playing

guitar I broke my arm skateboarding. My dad had bought my brother a red Squier Strat. I can remember saying when my brother first 14 City MARCH 2-8, 2011

got it, “I can’t imagine being a guitar player.

You have to memorize all this stuff, there are only so many notes, everything’s already been written. So what’s the point?”

I don’t want to say it’s limiting at all, but an open C chord sucks to play overhand. Also I went to see a physical therapist because I was wearing my strap too high and was having all these wrist problems.

What’s the difference between playing rock in your trio and pop in Day of Kings?

The trio is very relaxed, with two guys who have something to say. Day of Kings, I got called for that gig. So there’s a reason, something about my playing they like.

The band is more pop. Does it worry you that you’ll have less room to jam?

So what happened? Did you get bored?

What scares the shit out of me is not that I have to do it the same way each time, but I have to make it something original and something that I’m going to want to play all the time.

He’d go out and hang out with his friends and leave the guitar at home. I would put it on a table and use my cast as a slide.

With all that’s going on now, how does the 1975 rule apply?

And you stuck with it overhand style once the cast came off?

I tried playing normally. It was like, I know I can do it that way. Why would I half-ass it this way?

What music were you listening to?

When I started, I listened to everything, because when you’re 14 you get deep into everything. But when I started getting a little more stylistic about it, I got into the mindset that it had to come out before 1975 for me to like it.

How did that happen?

It just kind of worked out that way. It was everything I was listening to, like Led Zeppelin and old blues stuff. It started with classic-rock stuff. It broke when I started listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan.

That’s still relatively consistent.

It was just big aggressive rock music. And it just started turning more into blues, blues, blues. And stylistically I’d say that’s what it’s turned into. It doesn’t matter what it is as long as it’s got some soul to it.

That rule pretty much got thrown out the window. I mean, my heart’s still so much in that. But with all the music I listen to now and all the groups I play with now, it’s hard to say what is “classic.” What keeps it fresh for me is rhythm. The most important thing is keeping rhythm. Your melody sucks if you don’t have any rhythm to it. Music with a lot of rhythm is what I’ve been listening to — a lot of funk, a lot of hip-hop.

Will your upcoming album be with the trio?

The trio is a really good live outlet. Through doing all these live shows with all these groups, I’ve stylistically written to some of these groups.

For instance, I’ve written reggae tunes because I’ve been vibing off Thunder Body and Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad and Buddhahood.

Do people still point and whisper about your technique?

I don’t want to make it a gimmick. If others do, that’s OK. I notice you play air guitar conventionally. Is there something subconscious going on?

If I do it overhand it looks like I’m playing a keyboard.

JAZZ | Rozanne Levine & Chakra Tuning

The instruments may seem familiar, but the music is decidedly different. Often referred to as “soundscapes,” the compositions of Chakra Tuning are richly layered with textures and tones that stretch the limits of the instruments.

The group, led by Rozanne Levine (alto clarinet, clarinet, and bamboo flute), is composed of veterans of the avant-garde scene: Levine’s long-time collaborator Mark Whitecage (clarinet and saxophones), Perry Robinson (clarinet), and Rosi Hertlein (violin and vocals). Add some electronics to the mix and get ready to enter the aural vista.

Rozanne Levine & Chakra Tuning performs Thursday, March 3, 8 p.m. at the Bop Shop Atrium, 274 N. Goodman St. $15 donation requested. 271-3354, bopshop.com.

INDIE FOLK | Jonathan Richman

An open letter to Jonathan Richman: Hello from Rochester; we love it when you come to town. Especially since you’ve been relentlessly touring the globe for the last 30 years. Your captivating stage presence, flawless dance moves, and guitar chops delight and entrance us. Thanks for putting all of our self-confidence issues, bad jokes, agita about being able to score with people obviously hotter and cooler than us, starved affections, Gumby episodes, and ridiculous needs for cell phones into song. We really love you for it. Can’t wait to see you again real soon. Oh, and it’s kind of cool that we both have sometimes found ourselves dancing in lesbian bars.

Sincerely, your pals in the Flower City.

Also on the program, the rousing “Dettingen Te Deum” (HWV 283) by George Frideric Handel, written in 1743 to celebrate the battle victory of King George II in Dettingen (Bavaria).

JAZZ | Tarana feat. Ravish Momin

You’ve never heard (or seen) a drummer like Ravish Momin.

Whether he’s playing the drum set with his hands, seamlessly fusing his drums with a laptop full of electronic sounds, or creating vocal percussion, Momin is reinventing his instrument.

His group, Tarana, has changed personnel over the years, but all of his band-mates are kindred spirits when it comes to finding new routes through the music. At the core of Tarana’s music is free improvisation; along the way it passes through strains of Indian and Middle Eastern music and, of course, jazz. The Bop Shop show will be a duet with cellist Greg Heffernan.

The concert takes place Tuesday, March 8, 8 p.m. at Bop Shop Atrium, 274 N. Goodman St. $15 donation requested.

Details from “Sing Peace” by Edreys Wajed, “Mammy’s Revenge” by Michelle Harris, and “4our Vices and T3ree Statues...” by Hiram Cray (left to right), part of “No Boundaries,” now at Baobab Cultural Center. PHOTOS BY MATT DETURCK

Identity priceless “No Boundaries: New Expressions in Black Art” Through March 19 Baobab Cultural Center, 728 University Ave. Wed-Fri 6-9 p.m., Sat 3-6 p.m.

563-2145, thebaobab.org [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

The Baobab Cultural Center gives voice to local and regional African-American concerns, joys, and visual talents more frequently than the designated annual Black History Month. Year round, the center serves as an important meeting space for community members, and as a venue for film screenings about African-American and African issues, community dialogue series and art exhibits, and even yoga classes.

Gallery Director Terry Chaka explained that the current exhibition, “No Boundaries: New Expressions in Black Art,” is the second in a series of three shows, each representing contemporary African American art from a different age group. The previous show featured 40- to 60year-old photographers from New York City.

“No Boundaries” is a representation of “how we see ourselves,” says Chaka, and includes two Rochester- and two Buffalo-based artists ranging in age from 27 to 41, “born post-Civil Rights era,” and featuring more technological aspects in the creation and presentation of their work. The final show will feature three artists in their early 70s, who Chaka calls exhibition veterans.

Upon entering the center, viewers will first

encounter work by Rochester artist Michelle Harris that discusses the limiting stereotypes and definitions of women and races in American society. “Mudflaps” I & II are 18 City march 2-8, 2011

mixed-media works made to resemble the pinup silhouettes often seen on the titular truck accessories. The left silhouette contains names women are called, ranging from the semiflattering “Shorty,” “Betty,” and “Princess,” to the offensive “Heifer,” “Hoochie,” and “Bitch.”

In Harris’ “Three Graces,” nude and masked Barbie dolls are grouped in provocative poses together and surrounded by mirrors; as the viewer approaches for a closer look, cat calls and whistles emitted from an electronic element assault the viewer. “Barbie Mirror” is an interactive video installation in which a camera picks up your image as you look on and reflects you in pixels made up by images of the feminine-defining toy.

Photographic work by Harris includes the tender and maternal print, “Feet,” as well as more political works in which the artist takes on the ironic persona of Scarlett O’Hara. In “Scarlett Hopes,” the artist reaches, in silhouette, for lace curtains and beyond the transitioning day; the image is paired with the film’s memorable quote, “After all, tomorrow is another day.”

Buffalo-based visual artist and hip-hop MC and producer Edreys Wajed (a.k.a. Billy Drease Wiliams) demonstrates his illustration skills with acrylic and ink works celebrating creative and sustaining forces in black culture. “StrongWilled” is a work of abstract gold and black, with the title in brass lettering. His “Scarification Series” features linear works in pen and ink of faces with waves and symbols in decorative patterning, and often incorporating birds and plants to show humans and nature in beautiful balance. In “Sing Peace,” a female singer emits a bird from her breath, and in “Breathe Life,” both a fetus and tree gust from breath. Check out Wajed’s music online, particularly his selfillustrated video for “Get Free.”

Also featured in this exhibition is artist and

community arts organizer Shawn Dunwoody, whose own artistic talents occasionally get a

much-deserved spotlight. One of my favorite works in the show is his simple, beautiful portrait “Moses,” a pastel and colored pencil, delicately rendered aged black man, his face and hair made up of highlights emerging from darkness like truth emerging from obscurity. The remainder of Dunwoody’s contributions are mixed-media works that engage our political and social understandings, challenging us to contemplate the past and consider the present and future. The collage, “I Am a Man,” includes news articles, a painted image of Martin Luther King Jr., and images of maps, protestors and soldiers.

In his provided artist statement, Buffalo State College graduate Hiram Cray reveals his understanding of something crucial in art and in life: “I am the art and I am the art work, the process and the product. My greatest, most grueling, and simple creation is me and the life I live — can’t create anything more beautiful or grotesque.” He also nods to influences from an artist mom and Montessori education, an “enriched and culturally diverse life,” and an interest in cartooning. This latter matter is apparent in his drawing and portraiture skills, with heavy emphasis on varying facial expressions found in his self-portrait series, and enhanced by his background as a facial prosthetics designer for a hospital in New York City.

Cray’s “4our Vices and T3ree Statues of Misguided Reality” self portrait reveals a beautiful face with a grounded expression, warm tones against a blue background, and youthful and contemplative brown eyes glancing up at a white square, on which is printed “Time is a here and there relative, existing only in its designation.” Cray’s work is joyful, celebrates wonder and discovery, and reflects his interests in philosophy and the human experience. Also included is his verse work, “I Love Tea,” which praises the sensual and near-spiritual experience of drinking the tonic. I hope this poetic youth retains his sense of wonder and play.

ART EVENT | First Friday

March’s art scene, like the weather, is rolling in as fiercely as a lion. First Friday, the monthly city-wide gallery night, is held by non-profit, university, and commercial and indie art venues in Rochester, where we all trot about from station to station, filling our eyes and ears with what’s new and exciting in our community. On Friday, March 4, 6-9 p.m. (and sometimes later) you can check out art openings, poetry readings, and musical performances in various locations. Visit firstfridayrochester.org for a list of this month’s participating venues, and check out all the flyers in cafes and such for more events happening the same night.

FILM | Mind2Movie Challenge

Last Thursday, February 23, the annual Rochester Movie Makers Mind2Movie 72-Hour Film Competition kicked off, with 15 local film teams gathering at the German House and endeavoring to conceive and create a short five-minute film based on a provided character name and description, a situation, and a prop. On Sunday, February 27, the teams returned to present their completed films to a panel of judges (including Alex Miltsch of Young Lion Studios, Pat McGonigle from News 10 NBC, Linda Moroney of The 360-365 Film Festival, Pat Rivers from WARM 101.3 Radio, and Bob Smith from WXXI Radio) determined winners based on three categories: storytelling, technique, and use of assigned elements.

See what everyone came up with at the official screening of the films on Monday, March 7, at 6:30 p.m. at the Little Theatre (240 East Ave., 285-0400), where the results of the competition will be revealed along with cash prizes for the top two films.

LIT | “You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up”

Although it’s not technically time for the annual Lane Dworkin Jewish Book Festival, which takes place in the fall, two upcoming mid-season author visits will tide you over until then.

Comedians and marriage partners Annabelle Gurwitch and Jeff Kahn (pictured), authors of “You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up: A Love Story,” will visit Rochester this week, and CNN health correspondent Elizabeth Cohen will visit April 12.

100 N. Main St., Fairport • 377-4641

Watch Batteries installed $1.99

Gurwitch and Kahn memoir discusses, in modern and honest terms, marriage, raising a child with special needs, comedy, and not forcing it. After 13 years of wedlock, they declared “we’re just not that into us,” but have held their relationship together by fostering a lack of intimacy, using parenting as a competitive sport, and dropping out of couple’s therapy. Says comic actor Ben Stiller: “They make you want to embrace your spouse for the same reason you want to strangle them.”

The couple will speak at the Jewish Community Center Hart Theatre (1200 Edgewood Ave.) on Saturday, March 5, at 8 p.m., followed by music and martinis. Tickets are $8 for JCC members and $10 for the general public, and available by calling 461-2000, or online at rjbf.org.

SPECIAL EVENT | Garden Activities

Last week, my dude and I popped over to the Lamberton Conservatory at Highland Park to get a much-needed dose of green and earthy scents. It might not sound like much of an escape, but a mere 45 minutes among growing, exhaling, plant life truly does wonders for a slush-dredged, winter-weary mood. That’s why I recommend seizing opportunities to spend time among greenery this month, or at least contemplating your plans for your own soon-to-be-thawed patch of earth.

Here are two such offering taking place this week.

From Friday, March 4, through Sunday, March 6, you can stroll the extensive greenhouses of Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion State Historic Park (151 Charlotte St., Canandaigua) and catch an unlikely tropical injection at Sonnenberg’s Annual Orchid Show and Sale. The event takes place 10 a.m.-5 p.m. each day, and includes displays, educational seminars on orchid care (offered at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m.

Sunday), and the sale of a variety of the coveted blooms. On Friday, Sonnenberg executive director and horticulturalist David Hutchings will offer special re-potting services (for donation).

Admission to the event is $5 per person; for more details, call 394-4922 or visit online at sonnenberg.org.

And on Saturday, March 5, Rochester Civic Garden Center will host its 20th Annual Spring Garden Symposium, 9 a.m.2:30 p.m. at Eisenhart Auditorium at Rochester Museum and Science Center (657 East Ave.). Garden designers and authors Scott Ogden and Lauren Springer Ogden will present two lectures drawn from their recent book, “PlantDriven Design: Creating Gardens That Honor Plants, Place, and Spirit.” In addition, local naturalist and RCGC instructor Carol Southby will lecture on “Appalachian Spring: Wildflowers of the Eastern Woodlands; a Sense of Place in the Shade Garden.” Tickets are $45 for members, and $55 for general public. Call 473-5130 or visit rcgc.org for more info. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

THEATER | “Dreamgirls”

Get your Northern Soul vinyl spinning to experience the real thing before you check out the Rochester Association for the Performing Arts production of “Dreamgirls,” which closes this weekend at RAPA’s East End Theatre (727 E. Main St.).

“Dreamgirls” is a successful Broadway musical (a film adaptation came out in 2006) that exposes the business end of showbiz while it parallels the aspirations and successes of characters based off 1960’s performers like The Supremes and James Brown.

Artists from Buffalo and Rochester make up the cast of the show, and include Lakesia Muhammad in the role of Deena, and Shamilia Rodgers and Rhasida Washington in the role of Effie. Local actor Rueban Tapp (who poignantly portrayed Clay in the recent Many Voices and Maplewood Performing Arts Centre production of Amiri Baraka’s “Dutchman” at Flying Squirrel, MuCCC, and RIT) plays the role of James “Thunder” Early, the headliner whose spotlight the Dreamgirls join. Also featured is Rochester male quartet, Compromise Sound.

Performances of “Dreamgirls” take place March 4-6; on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, $12 for children and seniors, and are available at RAPA (325-3366, rapaonline.us) and area Wegmans supermarkets. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Spaghetti Dinner.

The human cost of the corporate state [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

Men,” a movie about losing one’s job and therefore one’s identity, and even one’s life.

The film tells a story right out of the daily “The Company Men” newspapers, of the effects of the worst economic (R), written and directed by John Wells crisis in this country since the 1930’s, the Bush Now playing Recession. A huge international company, GTX, reaching the usual corporate conclusion that The recent spectacle of thousands of French profits count more than products or people during citizens protesting their government’s decision to the economic downturn, embarks on a program of raise the retirement age from 60 to 62 no doubt retrenchment, mergers, sellouts, and consequently, puzzled and amused many Americans. For one layoffs. Its directors find the solution to the thing, people in this country tend to retire at an company’s declining revenue lies in closing whole older age — Social Security kicks in later, after all divisions and firing all the employees those — and more important, in America most people divisions, from the top executives all the way identify themselves by their jobs: we are what we down to the ordinary workers. do. That fact adds a further layer of relevance to Through a kind of rhythmic intercutting, “The the contemporary timeliness of “The Company Company Men” focuses on the plight of three men, all successful veterans of GTX who have contributed greatly to the growth of the company — Bobby Walker (Ben Affleck), Phil Woodward (Chris Cooper), and Gene McClary (Tommy Lee Jones).

Each man lives in an impressive house and drives an expensive Kevin Costner and Ben Affleck in “The Company Men.” PHOTO COURTESY THE

car, with those material possessions multiplying and enlarging upward from Walker to McClary, who owns a splendid mansion on the waterfront.

Walker, the youngest of the three, occupies most of the story’s center and conveys most of its emotional content; devastated by his sudden firing, he searches for a new job throughout the length of the picture, encountering rejection and disappointment everywhere. He knows his failure is complete when he must quit his country club, sell his fine house and his Porsche, and move his family back with his parents.

Woodward, pushing 60, learns from an employment counselor that he should dye his hair, omit his service in Vietnam from his résumé, and lie about his age to any prospective employer. The best friend, partner of the CEO, and the man who helped create and develop GTX, McClary understands the human component of the company’s success, but fights a losing battle against its decisions until he too receives a pink slip from the woman who does the hatchet work (Maria Bello); she also happens to be his lover, which may explain her own rise to power in the company.

The film chronicles the steady decline of its characters’ morale, their bitter, sad, sometimes tragic, sometimes comic reactions to the constant drumbeat of rejection, and their realization of what many of us already know, that for just about every employer and every institution loyalty remains a one-way street.

“Cedar Rapids” (R), directed by Miguel Arteta Opens Friday

other people comment throughout the movie on the practices of large corporations, which fire people just before they can reap the benefits they’ve worked for, or close their factories and outsource jobs, or as McClary points out, provide enormous compensation packages for their top executives while cutting back on workers’ salaries.

When the desperate Bobby accepts an offer from his brother-in-law Jack (Kevin Costner), a small contractor, to work for him renovating houses, he learns something about hard physical labor and the attitudes of workers. Jack needles him about the practices of big business, including the great wage disparities, but also demonstrates an innate decency by taking on an unprofitable contract in order to keep his men working through the slack winter season.

At times the picture reflects its situation in a quasi-documentary fashion, touching on contemporary reality by including, for example, a reference to the chief financial officer of Eastman Kodak (remember that company?) sending out his job applications along with Affleck and an assortment of fired professionals. It also underlines an obvious but mostly neglected point, that the boomand-bust cycle of the present business model simply ignores the human factor and may even finally impede financial success — the greed implicit in short-term profit taking and the thoughtless treatment of workers may ultimately doom the system.

What would us awesomely smug blue-state bastards do without those simple red-state rubes to kick around? From “Mr. Deeds Goes To Town” to “My Cousin Vinny,” many films have tried to mine comedy gold from amplifying the differences between the proverbial country mouse and his urban cousin, usually through fish-out-of-water tales that plunk one in the unfamiliar milieu of the other. The trick for the writer is to steer clear of the broad clichés; city folk are typically cutthroat snobs, while the small-town naïf is eventually revealed to be saintly and wise as a way to punish us for our arrogant stereotyping. That’s not to say that either of those tropes are untrue, but our human commonality is that we are insightful and ignorant in equal measure.

Miguel Arteta’s sweet but safe “Cedar Rapids” is the latest film to sit back and observe a stranger in a strange land, when wide-eyed insurance salesman Tim Lippe (Ed Helms, “The Hangover”) gets the big chance to travel from Brown River,

Anne Heche and Ed Helms in “Cedar Rapids.”

PHOTO COURTESY FOX SEARCHLIGHT PICTURES

Wisconsin, to a convention in the relative Sodom of Iowa’s second-largest city. But Tim’s life at home isn’t entirely without excitement; he’s recently been hooking up with his seventh-grade teacher, Macy Vanderhei (a tangy Sigourney Weaver), though the newly divorced Macy isn’t quite ready for that promise ring. Opportunity knocks in the somewhat surprising form of fatal autoerotic asphyxiation, so Tim’s tough-love boss (Stephen Root, Milton from “Office Space”) sends the enthusiastic but green Tim to the annual insurance shindig with two instructions: bring home the “Two-Diamond Award” and avoid Dean Ziegler.

So it’s off to Cedar Rapids by plane (“It’s me!” the giggling first-time flier assures his no-nonsense buddy at airport security), followed by accommodations at a hotel with both an indoor pool as well as an apparent laxity toward onsite prostitution. (That’s Alia Shawkat from “Arrested Development” in the illconceived hooker role). Tim is shocked to be sharing a room with an honest-togoodness black man (Isiah Whitlock Jr., Sen. Clay Davis on HBO’s “The Wire”), but approximately no one should be stunned when their third suitemate turns out to be the dreaded Ziegler (national treasure John C. Reilly). And at first blush, the raunchy “Deanzie” seems to be everything that Tim was warned about: pushy, hedonistic, and the least spiritual person at this unofficially Christian gathering. But even the wary Tim is charmed by Deanzie’s shameless gusto, and after a couple sips of cream sherry, Tim tumbles down the rabbit hole.

“Cedar Rapids” is also a sort of comingof-age story, as Tim comes to understand that hypocrisy and selfishness aren’t always in the most obvious packages. Tim also finds out that love and sex can be mutually exclusive; he’s schooled in that distinction

by Joan Ostrowski-Fox (Anne Heche), a fellow salesperson who treats these conventions as an annual refuge from the dull obligations of real life. But Joan learns from Tim, too, especially as part of a lovely swingset interlude in which Tim makes insurance agents sound like superheroes, swooping in to fight for the little guy after tragedy hits. You can see the flicker of admiration in Joan’s melancholy eyes, and it’s really the first indication we have that director Arteta and debut scribe Phil Johnston genuinely like Tim. Because it’s a slippery slope; an audience can only laugh at (as opposed to with) an essentially good person for so long before we feel uncomfortable about the condescension of it all. But “Cedar Rapids” also bears the pawprints of producers Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor; they’re the creative team behind satires like “Citizen Ruth,” “Election,” and “About Schmidt,” and their understanding of the flyover states certainly helps the admittedly predictable film maintain the proper respect as Tim loses his figurative innocence. The problem? As Tim, Helms is incredibly boring. He’s done some bang-up supporting work in “The Hangover” and on NBC’s “The Office,” but carrying a movie isn’t really his thing yet.

Fortunately, Helms has a dream team of character actors to reply upon, especially the perpetually underrated Heche — here’s hoping she gets her once-promising career back on track — and Whitlock, who executes a surreal gag referencing his old show without the universe collapsing in on itself. But leave it, of course, to Reilly to save the day. Reuniting with Arteta, his director on 2002’s “The Good Girl,” the one-time Oscar nominee takes a stock part (the blowhard salesman) and infuses it with enough heartwarming loyalty to offset his hilarious boorishness. Stick around for the goofy end credits, though; ol’ Deanzie hasn’t gone totally soft.

Okies traveling across America in a beat-up jalopy — it’s a grim story that now looms with the stature and grandeur of an American myth. John Ford’s version of John Steinbeck’s novel was a tough pill for Hollywood in 1940, and one that Steinbeck himself claimed more devastating than the book. Henry Fonda stars.

Extra-Bright Downtown Delight

14 Selden Street

Imagine this: a nineteenth century single-family house right in the heart of downtown Rochester and its outstanding cultural and recreational venues. Although such houses in the downtown core are rare, you need not just imagine them— there’s a spectacular one available right now.

Selden Street--named after the Rochesterian granted a patent in 1895 for the automobile-is a European-style lane that’s part of Grove Place, a eclectic downtown enclave of historic houses and modern condos and lofts. This street is often treated to the sounds of Eastman School of Music students practicing in nearby neighborhood apartments.

Fourteen Selden Street’s yellow is fitting color for this lively neighborhood. The inside, with generous windows in just about every room, makes the house a place where it would be hard to be anything but comfortable and content. The dazzling property’s 2,734 square feet have, over the last eight years, received over $100,000 in improvements and updates.

the back is a space now serving as a den, with a large sliding glass door that covers the whole back wall and that opens to the back deck and yard. This space has a trap door in the floor—thought possibly to have made 14 Selden a station on the Underground Railroad!

And between the dining area and this den is a fun spiral staircase; this space also offers even more natural light via French doors that provide a side entrance and exit.

Upstairs is a series of—yes, bright—and versatile rooms. At the back is a welcoming space now used as an office, and an adjacent bedroom tucked under the roof and made extra cozy by an angled ceiling. Along a handsome hallway is a bedroom and attached ample full bath that can be closed off to form a private guest suite. At the front, a master suite features the same floor to ceiling bay windows as below. The vast master bathroom includes a jacuzzi tub and two large windows. There’s a chair in there now—but you could probably get a sofa in there too!

The first floor has been transformed into a magnetizing loft-style, open plan. The living room area at the front enjoys a bay with three floor-to-ceiling windows, and a modern gas fireplace. A sensational bistro-style kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and beautiful tile. A dining area’s wall to the outside is an alcove that’s entirely floor-

This phenomenal house, listed at $369,900, offers a very rare opportunity to have a singlefamily home right downtown. And we all know that downtown is just going to get better and better. For more info, call Hunt ERA’s Christopher Carretta at 585-734-3414.
