A last chance for Rochester’s forgotten kids On the second floor of the large brick building on the corner of Oxford Street and Monroe Avenue, 50 city school students are trying to get their lives back on track. New Beginnings is an all-boys school and part of a program of the same name.

New Beginnings is an alternative program to help primarily black and Hispanic boys, ages 16 to 18, transition back to school after brushes with the law, including incarceration. The program is jointly run by the Center for Youth and the Rochester city school district.

“The vast majority of these kids are coming from pretty dire circumstances,” says city schools Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard. “If it wasn’t for a program like this, many of these kids would end up locked-up or dead. These are forgotten kids.”

Safety was initially one of the big concerns for the school’s students and staff, since many of the boys had been affiliated with gangs. But counselors and teachers say there hasn’t been a single physical altercation at the school.

urban journal | by mary anna towler

The experiment in Libya There is nothing simple about the challenge in Libya. We — the US, the coalition, the rebels — are in uncharted waters.

Unquestionably, Qaddafi is willing to do almost anything to stay in power. He had this message for the rebels recently: “We will come house by house, room by room. The issue has been decided. We will find you in your closets. We will have no mercy and no pity.”

That is frightening. And the rebels’ struggle has been heartbreaking. But there are so many troubling questions.

This has many of the marks of a civil war. We are intervening to protect civilians, but doesn’t the intervention put us on the side of the rebels? (And who are the rebels?

We know troublingly little about them.)

Saddam Hussein had no qualms about torturing and killing his own people. If it was wrong for the US to intervene in Iraq, why is it right to intervene in Libya? What’s next? Yemen? Bahrain? Iran?

And what about the US Constitution, which gives Congress, not the president, the power to declare war? That other presidents have taken us into war without Congressional debate and approval does not make it right for this one to do so.

We are there, regardless. And on the plus side: The US has not embarked on this course unilaterally.

It is worth noting that it is a violation of international law for a government to attack civilians — even in a civil war — and the UN Security Council has repeatedly passed resolutions emphasizing its responsibility to enforce that law. A 2006 resolution, in fact, “reaffirms the need to bring to justice… individuals who incite such violence.”

It’s also worth noting the UN Security Council’s resolutions — there are two of them — regarding Libya. On February 26, the Council condemned “the violence and use of force against civilians” in Libya, the “repressions of peaceful demonstrators,” and the “incitement to hostility and violence against the civilian population” by “the highest level of the Libyan government.”

On March 17, the Security Council demanded a cease fire and a “complete end to violence and all attacks against, and abuses of, civilians.” It demanded that the Qaddafi government abide by international humanitarian law. And it authorized a nofly zone in the Libyan airspace.

The charges of brutality are not solely those of the rebels, or the Security Council, or the Obama administration.

the “WORD”

the United Nations pleaded for a no-fly zone, calling Qaddafi a “terrorist” who has committed “crimes against humanity” and “war crimes.”

What should the international community do, then, when a government violently represses peaceful demonstrations against it? What should the international community do when a government begins firing on its own citizens?

When the nations of the UN Security Council pledge to “bring justice” to people like Qaddafi, are those hollow words?

“The most productive role for America in the Middle East today,” The Nation said last week, “is diplomatic and economic, not military.” And yet: While diplomatic efforts seem to have paid off in Egypt, Qaddafi has ignored them. Can we do nothing more than wring our hands as the slaughter builds?

And in the end, if the world does nothing, and Qaddafi wins, what will that teach other brutalists (of which there are plenty)? Who’s their role model? Mubarak or Qaddafi? Want to stay in power? Go after the protesters.

Pull out all the stops. And if some of your military troops refuse to fire on their own people, others will follow orders. (See: Tianamen, 1989.)

More is at stake here than Libya.

Disturbing truths about urban education

Several years ago, Ralph Spezio, the former principal of Rochester’s School 17, led a successful, fund-raising campaign to develop a health center for his students and community. One of his first acts was to initiate a lead-poisoning test of his pre-school students.

Lead-poisoning creates irreversible brain damage and contributes to student academic and behavioral difficulties. Of the 150 pre-school students tested at School 17 that year, 100 percent showed significant levels of lead poisoning. Spezio estimates that as many as 10,000 Rochester students currently suffer from this “invisible and silent monster.”

However, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Many more urban youth suffer other poverty-related problems, such as poor nutrition, teen pregnancy, stress from crime-filled neighborhoods, low pre-K vocabulary, unemployment, abusive and neglectful parenting, lack of positive role models, and a host of values that oppose responsible citizenship.

Given these variables, how could anyone expect these students to perform well in school?

Yet we continue to hear the drumbeat of corporate-style education reformers, stating that “poverty is not an excuse!” This statement is an insult to the victims of poverty, and reinforces separate and unequal schools as “acceptable.”

Certainly, there are some poor students who perform heroically and succeed, despite facing horrific conditions. They are the exceptions. On average, over 50 percent of children who live in poverty do not graduate from high school.

Of those African-American and Hispanic students who do graduate and go on to college, only 14 percent become college graduates. These students often lack the City

“social capital” or the experiences, support systems, and resources needed to complete college. The tentacles of poverty reach far beyond inner-city schools.

The only successful method for significantly increasing the achievement of poverty-stricken students, as shown by the research of the Harvard Civil Rights Project and Syracuse University’s Gerald Grant (“Hope and Despair in the American City”), is massive desegregation. Grant details the success that students of all races and income levels experience in the voluntarily desegregated Wake County, North Carolina, Public School System and compares it to the failures of Syracuse, which mirror that of the Rochester school district.

Unfortunately, despite the critical need for education equity for all children, fear and ignorance, rather than courage, rationality, and justice, have proven to be the primary motivators for decisionmaking in Monroe County. As political, education, and business leaders continue to embrace strategies that merely provide Band-Aid approaches to solving the issues of educational equity, the critical moral dilemma is left to suburban leaders and citizens in the form of these questions: “How much responsibility do the suburbs have for helping urban children receive a good education?”

“What would great religious leaders, like Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Gandhi, and Moses do?”

“What should I do?”

Reviewing the reviews

What’s happened to George Grella? He used to review movies. Now he merely gives a social commentary (“The Company Men,” March 2) or tells the plot (the previous week). That I can get from the Democrat and Chronicle. He also used to review films of substance; more and more he’s reviewing action films that appeal to kids.

A real movie review discusses cinematography, sound, and editing (elements a reviewer can’t really experience by watching an advance DVD on a TV screen) in addition to acting. Any good writer can confine plot to one solid paragraph.

Dana Papaleo does a bit better, when she doesn’t spend too much

time talking about herself rather than the film.

GIL FRENCH, ROCHESTER

Rich? You can be with somebody else’s money

I see City Newspaper has taken another position against responsible government and wrapped it around an attack on the rich (“Isn’t It Rich?” March 2).

Consider government spending, where significant dollars go to special-interest groups and the undeserving. Serving the needs of special interests flies in the face of the idea that government should work towards the common good. It is not in the community’s interest to hand out dollars to every special interest and space cadet feeding at the public coffers.

Where do we stop?

The concern about education is valid and is clearly why we now have states trying to deal with the unions involved. I’m not sure why the left refuses to deal with the Number 1 problem in education these days (the unions) and would rather dismiss ideas that try to address this and other issues. As to the programs that you claim try to save children, I suggest that today’s welfare system goes a long way to encourage early and irresponsible childbirth, the goal being to increase one’s welfare payments.

It is time to refocus government on those issues and services that the vast majority of people can actually benefit from. Your points have their place, but why the smear campaign against people who oppose big spending by the government?

A pet point of the left is always abortion, which I oppose. I’m far from religious, but the fact that I’ve come to a different conclusion about abortion paints me into a corner with every nutcase and extremist. I see it as an issue of inequality. Abortion obviously takes the life of the defenseless, although our legal system is supposed to protect the weak and those easily exploited. There is also a lack of equality for the father, who can’t demand an abortion and thus has no way to avoid being a parent.

One more thing: Look around at today’s world. If you think we are spending too much on the military, you don’t see what I see.

Paetec tax breaks

The County Industrial Development Agency approved tax breaks for Paetec Communications’ planned downtown headquarters. The company has pledged to create 70 new jobs at its headquarters. In exchange, county officials are offering a package of tax breaks that, over 13 years, adds up to more than $6 million, say media reports.

Paetec plans to move 700 jobs to the $60.3million facility.

$41,040 for all students in the College of Arts and Sciences, and freshman and sophomore students at the Eastman School of Music. Room and board and the cost of graduate programs are also set to increase.

Incumbent Rochester school board members Willa Powell, Malik Evans, Melisza Campos, and Allen Williams are seeking re-election and were also designated. Earnest Flagler, Al Smith, Michael Mason, and Howard Eagle are also seeking the Democrats’ nomination for the four available school board seats.

But I was impressed by the breadth of history included for each stop.

A quicker way to test the waters

Jazz Fest announces new stage

Monroe County is in line for a grant to help public health officials make quicker decisions on when to close Ontario and DurandEastman beaches to swimming.

The County Legislature will vote to accept the grant during its April 12 meeting provided two committees, which meet this week, move the proposal along. The grant is from Health Research Incorporated, a nonprofit public health organization.

The county health department will use the $11,000 grant to buy rapid-test equipment and to train staff to use it, says John Ricci, a spokesperson for the department.

The specifics of the testing method and the turnaround time for the results are not yet known, Ricci says, but it is faster than the current method. The department will still use existing bacterial-level testing methods this year, he says, just to make sure the new technology is effective.

The county’s current process of determining E. coli bacteria levels takes one day. Health department staff use water samples to cultivate bacterial colonies, and then count them. [The bacteria are not the same as the E.coli strain that causes food poisoning.]

The E. coli bacteria can cause illness, but the levels are important also because they’re an indicator for the potential presence of other

pathogens, says Joe Makarewicz, an environmental science professor at SUNY Brockport.

The county will also start testing for Enterococcus bacteria this year, Ricci says.

FILE PHOTO Enterococcus bacteria are also pathogen indicators, Ricci says, Bacteria levels are one factor that the county uses to determine whether to close beaches.

Others include algae levels, the amount of water flowing in from the Genesee River, recent rainstorms, and whether the water is cloudy.

Near-shore water quality is an issue across the Great Lakes. Durand and Ontario beaches are located in the Rochester Embayment. The county and city as well as state and federal agencies have been working to improve water quality in the embayment and have made progress, though nutrient runoff remains a problem.

During the 2010 beach season, which essentially runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day, Ontario was closed 52 percent of the time, while Durand was closed 39 percent of the season.

City Council President Lovely Warren and school board President Malik Evans say they are trying to resolve city and school district financial concerns. FILE PHOTOS

The Rochester school district and City Hall have long been at odds over the 2007 Maintenance of Effort law, which generally prevents City Hall from decreasing its yearly financial contribution to the schools.

And now the MOE is at the center of a different conflict that school officials say threatens to hold up standard annual maintenance on city school buildings.

About $15 million in major summer construction work on city schools is hanging in the balance.

The city school district cannot, by law, borrow money. It relies on City Hall to advance bonds on large amounts of money for such costs as annual construction contracts. And then the city school district services that debt out of its funds.

But City Hall has, so far, held back on issuing the bonds for the planned summer work.

“We are only allowed to borrow what we retire the previous year,” says school board member Willa Powell. “We borrow $15 million, but we repay $15 million.”

Under normal circumstances, she says, this is not a problem.

But this year is different, says City Council President Lovely Warren.

The problem, Warren says, is the state’s interpretation of the MOE. The New York State Education Department informed city officials that the bonded amount could be viewed, she says, as an increase in the amount of money the city is required to give the district under the MOE law.

Instead of giving the school district $119.1 million, Warren says, the state could decide that the city should provide the district with $15 million on top of that, increasing the MOE to about $134 million.

The city already has a $50-million budget gap, Warren says. She says she doesn’t want to mistakenly increase the gap to $65 million or increase next year’s MOE responsibility. And she says she

wants clarification from the state before proceeding.

Powell, who chairs the district’s financial committee, says the delay raises several concerns.

If contractors can’t begin construction work soon, Powell says, the projects may not be completed in time for the opening of school in September. The work, which is routine general maintenance including roof repairs, is necessary, she says, to keep schools in operating condition. Deferring it usually results in higher costs and more repairs, she says.

“This not only jeopardizes $15 million of construction work on schools,” Powell says. “It jeopardizes construction jobs.”

Also, she says, where does the district turn to for future borrowing if not the city?

Both Powell and district general counsel Chuck Johnson say city officials are overreacting. And they say the city and the district should be able to resolve the problem without the state’s involvement. The district, they say, has told city and state officials that the $15 million can be included in the $119.1 million, not tacked on.

The MOE, Johnson says, is also not fixed at $119.1 million, as is so often portrayed.

“If the city’s [revenue] should fall, the school district amount would fall proportionately,” he says. “But if the city’s funds should increase, the city is not required to increase the school district amount.”

The bonding comes coincidentally at the same time that State Assembly member David Gantt is drafting legislation to change the MOE, Warren says. And, she says, City Hall is not trying to hold up construction work on city schools.

School Board President Malik Evans met with city officials earlier this week and says he believes an understanding has been reached. Both entities, he says, are waiting for a response from the state.

A last chance

Photo by MATT DETURCK

for Rochester’s forgotten kids On the second floor of the large brick building on the corner of Oxford Street and Monroe Avenue, 50 city school students are trying to get their lives back on track.

New Beginnings, located in the former Blessed Sacrament Catholic School building, is an all-boys school that is part of a program of the same name. It is jointly operated by the Rochester school district and the Center for Youth, a local human services agency that focuses on counseling, education, and shelter for young people.

Almost all of the boys in the program are black or Hispanic, and many have been incarcerated at least once.

For most, New Beginnings is the last of their last chances.

“The vast majority of these kids are coming from pretty dire circumstances,” says city schools Superintendent JeanClaude Brizard. “If it wasn’t for a program like this, many of these kids would end up locked-up or dead. These are forgotten kids.”

Many students find going back to school directly after being released from jail extremely difficult. New Beginnings originated as an overarching alternative program to help those students make a smooth and more successful transition.

The program, which began in December 2009, was designed to help boys, particularly black or Hispanic boys, ages 16 to 18 complete requirements to graduate from high school or earn their GED. The majority of the students were still incarcerated when the program began.

“They are all catching up,” says Elaine Spaull, the executive director of the Center for Youth. She is also vice president of City Council.

New Beginnings has two components: the program and the school.

Some of the 50 students in the program have returned to their home schools with the ongoing support of counselors. Counselors help with the

students with everything from talking about their fears and anxieties, to buying new school clothes, to appearing with them in court.

New Beginnings — the school — got its start when two boys wrote Spaull a letter while they were still incarcerated explaining that they saw no point in returning to school. They would only end up back in trouble, they wrote, if they returned to that environment.

“They were so worried about going back to a big school because they saw that as the end,” Spaull says.”

That’s when Spaull, a woman who seems to operate in an endless series of energy bursts, took her idea for starting the New Beginnings school to Brizard.

The school is non-traditional in the sense that there are no grades because just about every student is at a different level. Enrollment in the school, as it is with the program, is completely voluntary.

“Some students came to us with nearly all of the credits they need to graduate,” Spaull says, “and some came with four.”

The city school district provides certified teachers who offer instruction in core subjects, and the Center for Youth provides counselors. The school is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and much of the instruction is one-on-one.

Spaull is clearly passionate about New Beginnings and addressing the problem that educators and school psychologists call “disconnected” youth. According to some estimates, about 10 percent of students in urban school districts across the country have, for a variety of reasons, become disengaged from school and family activities.

“A lot of these kids have been put in a situation where they have to navigate the waters between childhood and adulthood by themselves,” Spaull says. “Some have been suspended, some have dropped out, and some are homeless and living in our [Center for Youth] shelter.”

10 City MARCH 23-29, 2011

Somewhere in his junior year, Jeramy Laureano just

stopped going to school, he says. And after being out for a prolonged period of time, he says he found it too hard to go back. He says he had always been the kid who got along with everybody, but then he started getting into fights.

“It became a daily thing,” he says. “I went from having lots of luck to lots of bad luck.”

Laureano says that when he and his mother heard about the New Beginnings school, they thought it was the right choice for him.

Laureano says his attitude has changed. He says he’s not as cocky and that he plans on joining the Marines after graduation.

He likes the quiet working environment at New Beginnings, he says, and the teachers and counselors treat him and the other boys with respect.

“They don’t judge you or look down on you,” he says. “They treat you like an adult.” New Beginnings counselor Cory Johnson leads the young men’s talk group.

Many of the boys spend their time writing cover letters and completing applications for jobs. While landing jobs is their main objective, they’re also learning about patience and persistence.

It’s hard to imagine the words coming out of the mouths of teenage boys careening toward manhood, but many of the students agree that the absence of girls is one of the reasons they like the school so much.

“You can focus,” says student Loren Legg. “There are no temptations, and not as many distractions.”

Safety was initially one of the big concerns for the school’s students and staff. While many of the boys had been affiliated with gangs, the counselors and teachers at New Beginnings say that there hasn’t been a single physical altercation at the school. The old rivalries faded into the background, the boys say.

“We’ve all been in the same situations,” Laureano says. “Everybody knows it. So it’s better that we help each other here.”

And many of the boys seem to recognize that New Beginnings is an unusual opportunity for them.

“It’s our last resort,” Legg says.

“That’s just how it is. But that’s okay.

You can make it here if you do the work.”

Many attend a young men’s talk session. At one recent session led by counselors and case managers Cory Johnson and Heru Ra, the discussion was about learning

the difference between getting a job to make money and pursuing a career for self-fulfillment.

Most of the boys were focused on making money, and making it quickly.

Dining marriage of heat and meat in each bite.

And then, if you are very fortunate, a plate of steamed buns filled with braised, glazed, thick slices of pork belly ($4).

Pork belly is justifiably trendy these days.

Essentially uncured bacon, it renders into meat that almost dissolves in your mouth on a tide of buttery pork fat, carrying its own particular savor and readily absorbing whatever other flavors its paired with.

Here, the fluffy white bun, the salty taste of a hoisin glaze, and the green blast of scallions is slightly reminiscent of a sloppy joe, but a sloppy joe as God himself intended that it should be. They are incredible and instantly addictive.

Pork bun rhapsody Han Noodle Bar 687 Monroe Ave. 242-7333, hannoodlebar.com Sun-Thu 11 a.m.-10 p.m., Fri-Sat 11 a.m.11 p.m. [ REVIEW ] BY JAMES LEACH

Halfway through his first steamed bun filled with braised pork belly and scallions at Han Noodle Bar, my 6-year-old dining companion got greedy. Pulling the plate with the remaining snowy-white bun toward him, he muttered, “Get your own order,” before biting off another mouthful of glazed pork paradise. I totally understood. I flagged down our waitress and ordered another pair of the buns, along with a plate of crispy tofu in red curry sauce. This is a restaurant that inspires you to greedy excess.

Eschewing the red carpets and the dragon motifs, the kung pao and General Tso’s chicken that are touchstones of American Chinese food, Han Noodle Bar is a daring enterprise for our city. Owner Sean Sun and his partners set out to create

a restaurant that would serve traditional Chinese food — the stuff you normally don’t see outside of Chinatown — in an atmosphere that is clean, modern, and without gimmicks. As it says on its website, “We cook the way we want to eat.” Bear in mind that you can still find a few of these American-Chinese workhorses on the lunch menu, but you’ll likely never resort to them.

There’s too much else on the menu that begs for your attention.

One of the first things you’ll see when you

walk into Han Noodle is a beautifully glazed looking duck luxuriating in a pan on the counter. Order some before you sit down. And then snag a pot of jasmine tea and let it steep while you absorb the menu.

You will run into unfamiliar territory pretty quickly. XO sauce with squid and shrimp ($10), beef tendon and daikon ($9), sour pickled vegetables and pork stomach ($7), and cured pork with sausage and celery ($8) are just a few of the dishes that will jump out at you. Appetizers like soy-lacquered chicken (you’ll occasionally see one of these on the counter, too — order some, $5), cumin beef ($3), spicy beef tendon ($4),

or wrinkled peppers with ginger-garlic vinaigrette ($3) will undoubtedly catch your eye. You should try all of these things, if not on your first visit, then on your second, or third.

Don’t understand the difference between mei fein and ho fein? Want to know what XO sauce or black bean sauce actually taste like? Your waitress will be happy to explain it all to you, and guide you into new and unfamiliar waters. Yes, you are likely to end up eating some pretty unusual stuff, but at least you’ll know what you are eating in advance.

Han Noodle is dizzying, exciting, and remarkably cheap. Sun and his partners offer the sort of food that you see at the beginning of an Ang Lee movie at prices comparable to your favorite menu-on-the-wall Chinese carryout joint. First, there’s the duck: the skin crispy on the outside and rendered buttery underneath, with dark, rich meat nearly falling from the bone. Served unadorned on a white plate, it is a stark presentation. But something this good doesn’t need a garnish or a sauce to help it out ($6).

Then a plate of cumin-scented beef, crusted in spice and stir-fried — a pungent

and noodles. While Han does not make its noodles in-house — that’s very rare these days — it does make its stock from scratch. The chef, who introduced himself only as J.T., uses a lovingly made pork- and shrimp-based stock for soups that can only be described as healing. Whatever might ail you, this soup will restore you to life and then restore your will to live. Enriched with skinny egg noodles, delicate pork and shrimp wontons, and a generous handful of Chinese broccoli, this is excellent ($6). With slices of pork belly, or roast duck floating atop it, the melting meat and fat enhancing those flavors in the broth, this is near perfection (most soups, $6).

Singapore noodles, which are usually bright yellow with a fake curry broth, are dry fried here, the shrimp, pork, and chunks of tender chicken picking up a deep, smoky flavor in addition to subtle hints of curry ($7).

Fish filets stir-fried with green and Anaheim peppers in black-bean sauce are everything American Chinese food is not: simple in preparation but incredibly complex in flavor and texture ($10).

For me, though, the best item on the menu is Mapo tofu, one of the simplest and cheapest dishes in the traditional Chinese repertoire ($7). Not much more than cubes of silken tofu stir-fried with ground pork (Han hacks up its pork by hand) in a fiery sauce of black-bean and chili pastes, soy sauce, and chicken stock, it is simplicity itself. But it is devilishly hard to find a good version in an American Chinese restaurant where they too often pull the punch on the heat and attempt to doll the dish up with vegetables and other extraneous elements.

At Han Noodle, as with everything else on the menu, it is simply prepared, beguilingly complex, and utterly perfect.

Glug, slug, chug-a-lug [ review ] by frank de blase

Friday night I caught The Young Bloods with some new blood on stage at the Club @ Water Street. The place was packed and steamier than a Roman bathhouse. On record the band is multi-layered and poppy. Live, a certain aggressive glee comes through. Nothing gets broken, and nobody gets hurt, but there’s a little more danger. At this show the band was totally on and electrified.

Everybody in the crowd seemed to know the words to every song, frequently joining in like one big, sweaty teenage glee club. This is a great band. I think I hear the big time calling.

Slipped over to Water Street’s big side to catch the Roc City Diamonds perform.

I had caught them once before when they were the frosting on the cake for Chet Catallo’s comeback concert. These gals are a lot of fun; pretty smiles and legs for miles. Some have referred to them as burlesque, however they strike me more as something like the Laker Girls or The Fly Girls in sequins. They lack the raunch and the peal ’n’ squeal for burlesque.

They’re tight and precise and sexy, but it ain’t burlesque.

Speaking of the raunch I needed, The Cheetah Whores followed, fueled by tequila

and a rabid case of don’t-give-a-shit-itis. The band rocked between Cuervo glugs, slugs, and chug-a-lugs. Consequently, tuning and tempo was a little touchy in spots, and the band swung loose. But this is the kind of music that doesn’t sound right tight.

The crowd that had been wowed by the Diamonds’ sparkle scratched its collective head. What’s to get? It’s rock ’n’ roll at its most primal, played by chicks in their underwear. That’s burlesque.

Slipped out to Lovin’ Cup Saturday to dig The Po’ Boys Brass Band celebrate the release of “Intergalactic Moustache Parade” for an enthusiastic crowd. It was a beautifully brassy and ballsy set with Spinal Tap’s “Big Bottom” as a highlight.

I left that behind and headed back to the city to catch Loud and Proud at Water Street. It’s clear how I feel about cover bands, but these guys are such good players, and the material is top-notch 70’s rock, so I got off my high horse and had a blast. And if that ain’t all; my wife’s got me watching “American Idol” now — a sure sign of the apocalypse.

Roberto Occhipinti, age 9, sat with his family at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens in 1964 as one band after another took the stage. At one point the boy noticed something. “I saw the Rickenbacker, the Gretsch Country Gentleman, and the Hofner bass and I said, ‘Oh, The Beatles are coming out now,’” says Occhipinti. His parents noticed something too: this was one musically aware 9-year-old.

Occhipinti, whose quartet will be featured at Jazz Day at Brockport, parleyed that early musical awareness into a multi-faceted career. You’ve probably heard him at a Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival, where he’s led his own band. He’s also played bass with the Hilario Duran Trio, The Sicilian Jazz Project, and another of his bands, Soul Stew.

At this June’s festival he’ll be back to play with five groups. And that’s not half of what he does. Studio work, his own record label, classical music — Occhipinti is Canada’s bass machine. Just how in-demand can a topnotch bassist be?

guitarists. Two of them, Michael and David, are top professionals. His father, a stonemason who immigrated from Sicily, was an amateur singer. But Occhipinti attributes the siblings’ musical abilities to something else.

“The 1970s were the halcyon days of musical education in Canada, especially in Ontario,” says Occhipinti. “In my high school there were three music teachers, a band, an orchestra, a choir. By the time my brother Michael (13 years younger) got to same school, there was only one music teacher. Now, at my son’s school, there’s no music department.”

He also had a life-changing musical experience at school. “I went to my juniorhigh-school library and put on Oscar Peterson’s “Night Train” with Ray Brown on bass,” says Occhipinti. “As soon as I heard that — man, that was it for me.”

By his senior year he was good enough to be accepted to New York’s Julliard School, but he never got there. “There was so much opportunity in those days,” says Occhipinti.

“If you were a warm body with a bass, you could get a gig. I didn’t plan on being a classical bass player, but when I was 18 I was playing in the Hamilton Philharmonic.”

Soon he was enlisted by the Canadian Opera Company and eventually the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, where he met his wife.

Occhipinti’s Beatles experience was not

a great musical one. “You couldn’t hear anything,” he says. “If you cupped your ears you could filter out all the girls screaming and sort of hear them playing.”

Anyway, it was really his brothers who loved the Beatles. As he got older, Occhipinti gravitated toward R&B and funk. He preferred Motown (and its great bassist, James Jamerson), Sly and the Family Stone, and Parliament Funkadelic — music he could hear on a Buffalo radio station.

He eventually founded jazz-festival favorites, Soul Stew, a band made up of Toronto’s top studio musicians. The name comes from King Curtis’ classic “Memphis Soul Stew.” At first it was an instrumental band playing R&B tunes; adding a singer made it more popular. How good are the players?

“We’ve been together for 20 years,” says Occhipinti. “The band has had two rehearsals and they didn’t go well.”

While Soul Stew is a (highly professional) lark, the jazz quartet that will play at Brockport is his passion. “A Bend In The River,” Occhipinti’s latest CD, is a gorgeous album, featuring his quartet with a string quartet and Russia’s Globalis Orchestra. “I never studied orchestration,” says Occhipinti.

“But when you’re sitting in the pit at the opera playing Puccini for a few weeks, you can’t help but absorb it.”

The opportunity for his orchestral work came through a commercial gig. “When I was doing studio work I was playing some really bad music,” says Occhipinti. “So I said to the producer, ‘Look, if you want good music, I can’t guarantee it. But if you want terrible music, I can write that.’

He said ‘go ahead, write some.’ I would be writing all the time. They sent me over to Russia to record orchestral, Percy Faith kinds of things. That’s how I ended up getting strings on my records.”

No matter which jazz or R&B group

he plays with, one thing stays the same.

“Whatever I do, I like to have a sense of blues underneath it,” says Occhipinti. “I started playing rock and then I got into blues and I heard the real deal. I was listening to Willie Dixon, Howlin’ Wolf... At the same time I discovered Ray Brown and he was all about the blues too.”

Occhipinti doesn’t want his music too highbrow. “I’m not so interested in appealing on only an intellectual basis,” he says, “I’m interested in what I call the trifecta, music that’s interesting to me, interesting to the musicians, and interesting to the listener. Music that appeals on a number of levels.

“It’s a very difficult thing to do and it’s not always successful, but I’m interested in music that goes beyond the bandstand,” he says. “There are a lot of great musicians doing music that has an appeal about one foot off the edge of the stage.”

At Brockport, Occhipinti’s band will include Hilario Duran, piano; Luis Deniz, saxophone; and Dafnis Prieto, drums. He hopes musicians will take advantage of the free afternoon master class. “Any drummers should definitely come to that workshop because Dafnis is the best,” he says.

He’s also gearing up for another XRIJF, but not just for musical reasons.

ROCK | Sick Puppies

Sick Puppies formed in an Australian high school in 1997 out of a mutual love of Silverchair, and its members soon set their eyes on the horizon. So guitarist Shimon Moore and bassist Emma Anzai simply packed up and split from Australia and headed for American shores after their first album made a splash at home, and caused some international ripples. The band blew through Rochester last summer as part of Bonzai Fest and blew me away. Its recorded sound is lush and melodic, but in front of the rabid crowd in that summer heat, it was a full-blown, head-banging riot. Framing Hanley, Adelitas Way, and Me Talk Pretty also perform.

JAZZ | Eugene Chadbourne & Tatsuya Nakatani

From surf to bluegrass, from blues to the heaviest of metal, Eugene Chadbourne is fluent in the language of guitar. With balloons serving as picks and other objects inserted here and there, he’s bent on expanding the instrument’s vocabulary.

Chadbourne also sings songs he writes in the political folk tradition, but in this case there are insane bursts of virtuoso guitar interspersed between the lines. Who better to join him at the Bop Shop than percussion innovator Tatsuya Nakatani? With bowed gongs and cymbals, and other non-traditional techniques, Nakatani constructs otherworldly sonic atmospheres.

Both musicians have delighted and amazed Bop Shop audiences in the past; put them together and the sky’s the limit.

Eugene Chadbourne and Tatsuya Nakatani perform Monday, March 28, 8 p.m. at the Bop Shop Atrium, 274 N. Goodman St. $15 donation requested. 271-3354, bopshop.com. — BY RON NETSKY Eastman at St. Michael’s. St Michael’s Church, 869 N Clinton Ave. 325-4040. 2:30 p.m. Free.

CLASSICAL | Ossia

How cool is this? A new-music group that runs an annual competition for totally new music that it performs as part of the prize. Ossia is based at the Eastman School of Music; it features student performers and a student board of directors.

For several years, Ossia has sponsored a competition for a new-music work, and entries come in from around the world.

The winner of the competition will have his/her work performed as part of the program. The program will also include work by British composer Julian Anderson (b. 1967), American composer Steve Lehman (b. 1978), and Mexican composer Mario Lavista (b. 1943). Not to be forgotten, the program will include the String Quartet No. 2: Company by Philip Glass (b. 1937).

The term “ossia” means an alternative passage that may be played instead of the original.

Ossia performs Tuesday, March 29, 8 p.m. at Kilbourn Hall, 26 Gibbs St. Free. 454-2100, esm.rochester.edu.

ROOTS ROCK | Cody Canada and the Departed

After weathering the break-up of the band Cross Canadian Ragweed, Cody Canada felt it was time to reach back and address the music that got him fired up in the first place.

The Departed isn’t altogether different, as Ragweed bassist Jeremy Plato has tagged along. But it has a little more rock ’n’ roll abandon as it zeros in on its red-dirt focus. The Departed’s music is haunting in some parts, compelling and intriguing in all. Sons of Bill open the show.

Pegasus Early Music (pictured) will be joined by Ithaca’s NYS Baroque and a historical dance troupe from Cleveland for its “Terpsicore” performance this weekend. PHOTO PROVIDED

Song and dance “Terpsicore” Sunday, March 27 Hochstein Performance Hall, 50 N Plymouth Ave. 4 p.m. | $15-$55 | 703-3990, PegasusEarlyMusic.org [ PREVIEW ] BY PALOMA CAPANNA

“The likes of this program, with music and dance and period instruments, has not ever been seen in Upstate New York.” So says Deborah Fox about this Sunday’s performance of “Terpsicore” by NYS Baroque and Pegasus Early Music. Fox is the director of Pegasus, and “Terpsicore” is an opera-ballet by George Frideric Handel (1685-1759).

Fox mentions her own instruments for the performance, a theorbo, which is a large, bass lute that was common in the 17th and 18th centuries, and a Baroque guitar. Fox will be part of a full Baroque orchestra of strings and winds on period instruments from Pegasus Early Music (Rochester) and NYS Baroque (Ithaca).

The first half of the program will feature arias by Handel. The second half will be the “Arrival of the Queen of Sheba” from Solomon, followed by “Terpsicore.”

The term “Terpsicore” is derived from the Muse of Dance, one of the nine muses of Greek mythology. “Terpsicore” is a series of shorter musical pieces interspersed with different dances. The period dance forms included are the Chaconne, the Sarabanda, the

Gigue, the Air, and the Passepied. Each dance has a different characteristic and is intended to represent a different emotion.

“It is a tour de force for dancers,” says Julie Andrijeski, concert mistress of NYS Baroque. Andrijeski will dance the part first performed in 1735 by French dancer and choreographer Marie Salle. In 1733, Handel had formed his own opera company in Covent Garden Theatre in London. The work was created to introduce Salle to the British public, where she became very popular.

“There is a very beautiful script; it is very descriptive of what the feet do and how the dancer moves on the floor,” says Andrijeski, speaking of the notation, recorded through a system devised during the court of Louis XIV of France known as Beauchamp-Feuillet notation.

She says the notations describe how each measure of dance goes with each measure of music, even to details of how to use the hands.

For this special event, Andrijeski is having a special costume made based upon a painting of Salle with the Three Graces from Greek mythology dancing in the background, by French painter Nicolas Lancret (1690-1743).

Andrijeski will be surrounded for “Terpsicore”

by three dancers — Francesca Tortorello, Tracy Cowart, and Elena Mullins — representing the Three Graces. Andrijeski, who teaches dance at Case Western Reserve University, will be bringing these dancers with her; she recently started Ensemble Forlorna in Cleveland, which will explore other historic classical dances. Andrijeski is both a dancer

and a violinist, a combination that she says was popular in the days of “Terpsicore.”

Fox likes the idea of melding art forms.

“I love combining music and dance, drama, scenery and costumes — all those things to together. It was a natural combination during Handel’s period,” she says.

“Playing for dancers really informs the music in a different way,” says Fox. “It shows where the downbeat comes, when there was a leap, where the dancers sank. If we don’t know what the dance forms look like, how can we play the music?”

Also of interest for this program is the very heart of Baroque music, which invites the musicians to improvise upon and ornament the composer’s scores. “We’ve all been trained in the Baroque style,” says Fox. “We will take risks sometimes and add new notes and new improvisations, particularly in the arias, which were sung by famous singers in that time, who would try to bring down the house by singing so beautifully or by out-ornamenting the diva before. There are some great stories of these singers fighting on stage.”

Fox explains that the Baroque structure comes to a place with a sort of “half-ending” that can be left bare or can be turned into a cadenza. “On the repeats, a lot of arias are written to repeat with the expectation that the musician will ornament the notes they’ve just played,” says Fox. “We really enjoy that part.

It’s what makes good performances of Baroque music really fun for the audience.”

It’s not just the dances that were written down by an admiring public. According to Fox, in the 18th century, people went to concerts just to write down what was being improvised by the musicians. She points out that these are the notes that early music aficionados now study. “That Baroque tradition is lost a little bit through the 19th century, when composers took more control. But then you see it being relinquished again,” says Fox. Joining these performers will be soloists Laura Heimes, soprano, and Jose Lemos, countertenor. Handel was known for his operas, and especially his expressive writing for the virtuosic divas of the day. Heimes grew up in East Rochester. Lemos now lives in the United States, and is from Brazil.

Fox described the arias on the upcoming program as ranging from the “Verdi Prati” as “beautiful — to die for” to the “Vivi Tiranno” as “war-like, virtuosic, fast.” And Fox says, “Both Heimes and Lemos are really great performers.”

“Terpsicore” will have three performances this week in Upstate New York. The Sunday performance in Rochester will be preceded by a performance at Syracuse University on March 25 and at Cornell University in Ithaca on March 26.

ART EVENT | Gallery r Benefit Auction

You might have noted the artsy gap on Park Avenue in recent months. Gallery r, Rochester Institute of Technology’s metro art space and student-run educational gallery, closed its doors last year, but has been holding shows here and there around town, and scouting for a new permanent home. This week, you can help the gallery find a new location and take home a piece of artwork, when you attend the annual Gallery r Benefit Auction.

The benefit will be held on Thursday, March 24, at RIT’s James E. Booth Hall Gallery (1 Lomb Memorial Drive). A reception with live music by Lake Effect, light hors d’oeuvres, desserts, and cash bar will be held 5:30-7 p.m., followed by an art drawing with emcee Norma Holland, WHAM-TV news anchor. Each ticket-holder who attends the Gallery r benefit will leave with a beautiful work of art donated by RIT friends, students, alumni, and faculty.

Tickets are $100, and will go directly toward assisting RIT’s College of Imaging Arts and Sciences and its plans to build a new facility for Gallery r in the Neighborhood of the Arts. Each ticket admits two people and is good for one piece of artwork. For information, call 475-5154 or e-mail rbenefit@rit.edu; to preview the artwork, go to galleryr.cias. rit.edu/benefit. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Exhibition.” Tue-Thu 1-4 p.m., Fri-Sat 1-8 p.m. 389-5073, naz.edu.

take out their pens — it’s the richest place to mine a story. Personally, I am drawn to gray areas because I want to understand other people and their motivations. I try to see things from everyone’s point of view — the victim and the killer. Also, I grew up in Salem, Massachusetts, where it is Halloween 365 days a year, so I am pretty comfortable with the dark side, the strange, and the unexpected.”

Though “The Good Thief” is the product of careful research and drawing on many inspirations, Tinti has also compared her process to using a divining rod and allowing the unforeseen to surface. “There were many surprises along the way,” she says, “one of the largest was discovering who Benjamin Nab really was, also figuring out who the chimney dwarf belonged to. He just appeared in a scene one day, and it took me a long while to understand how he fit into the story.”

Author Hannah Tinti (pictured) will visit Rochester this week for several events related to her book “The Good Thief,” this year’s choice for “If All of Rochester Read the Same Book.” photo provided

Heart of steal “The Good Thief ”

By Hannah Tinti If All of Rochester Read the Same Book Many events at various venues 473-2590, wab.org [ LITERATURE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Captivating storyteller Hannah Tinti lends some simple advice to aspiring fiction writers: “write something that you would want to read.” That’s exactly what she did in creating her 2008 award-winning first novel, “The Good Thief,” an imaginative adventure story set in the underbelly of Industrial-era New England. Tinti’s novel is the focus of this season’s “If All of Rochester Read the Same Book” community read presented by Writers & Books, which will culminate in the author’s visit to Rochester March 23-26.

The novel tells the story of Ren, a 12-year-old boy raised at St. Anthony’s Orphanage, who was abandoned there as an infant mysteriously missing one hand. Tinti packs a lot of story into each paragraph, weaving a tale that unravels, onion-like, as readers dig in. We follow Ren from the day a young man with a marvelous tale arrives and claims to be his long-lost brother, through adventure after dangerous adventure with a host of unlikely allies, until we ultimately arrive at the truth about Ren’s origins. In preparation for Tinti’s visit to Rochester this month, I spoke with both the author and Karen VanMeenan, director of special projects at Writers & Books.

26 City march 23-29, 2011

“We are always looking for books that address real-life issues (historical and contemporary) that foster discussion in the community,” says VanMeenan, of the popular “If All of Rochester” program, now in its 11th year. Besides spinning such a consuming journey-story that is truly difficult to set aside, “The Good Thief” contains numerous issues “such as the meaning of family, faith, and religion, the development of modern medical science, how 19th-century industrial society changed American culture,” she says.

When Tinti began writing “The Good Thief,”

she wanted to write about resurrection men — grave-robbers who steal bodies and sell them to medical schools. “Before long I understood that the concept of resurrection and spiritual rebirth was really what I was trying to explore,” she says. One of the characters, Benjamin Nab, constantly “re-creates himself through storytelling, and he teaches Ren, the hero of the book, to do it as well,” she says. “I believe people are always re-making themselves in this way, every time they recount a story — we change facts or emphasize certain parts of the tale in order to influence the listener’s opinion. Re-tell a story enough times, or with enough detail or conviction, and you can alter the truth.”

Besides truth bending, Tinti exercises an expert handling of all manner of morally ambiguous characters, including thieves, graverobbers, and hitmen who commit reprehensible acts — souls who have found themselves in survival mode, and who manage to retain our empathy. “Whenever a situation becomes morally ambiguous,” the author says, “writers

Ultimately, the tale centers around the deep

need for family, and the reality that family is often found in unexpected places. “When the story begins, Ren imagines what his mother and father will be like, but he learns by the end of the book that real people are much more complicated, and that you can make a family out of friends. It’s about surrounding yourself with people who care, and finding what fits,” Tinti says.

This universal topic makes the novel a perfect choice for a community read. “Discussing literature deepens and enhances the experience, bringing what can otherwise be such a solitary exercise into a more public forum,” says VanMeenan, “where different views and opinions can be aired and shared. This strengthens community bonds as we share the experience of reading and in the process our own lives.”

But such a novel can also open doors for communication in even more crucial ways.

“Recently I visited a high school class that had read ‘The Good Thief,’” Tinti says. “One of the students told me that his mother had died, and that this was the first book he’d ever read that captured what it felt like to lose someone, and he thanked me for writing it. He said it made him feel less alone. Afterward, his teacher told me that it was the first time she’d ever heard the student talk about his loss. It meant a great deal to me to know that ‘The Good Thief’ made this boy feel that someone out there understood what he was going through.”

Tinti is about halfway through a new novel, she says, and is also working on a comic book.

She will visit Rochester to speak at different locations March 23-26 (for a schedule of events, visit wab.org). “I’m very excited to come to Rochester and meet everyone,” Tinti says.

“I’ll be answering questions, talking about the inspiration behind the book, and giving an idea of what my writing process is like. Audiences can expect slide-shows, readings, even a song or two!”

KIDS | Popovich Comedy Pet Theater

Usually, we’d think of a dude with 30 cats and dogs (along with a few ferrets, white rats, and trained doves) as being a prime candidate for the show “Animal Hoarders.” But Gregory Popovich, the man behind the World Famous Popovich Comedy Pet Theater, is an entertainer with a big, gushy heart.

His family-oriented show blends European-style clowning with juggling and balancing acts, and includes the talents of his impressive performing pets. And the super-squishy heartwarming element is that each of the show’s 15 cats and 15 dogs were strays rescued from shelters. Awwww!

“I have nicknamed my show ‘A Second Chance’ because that is what my cats and dogs have been given, a second chance at life,” says Popovich in the Nazareth press release. “The main idea of my show, and of this tour, is to raise awareness in our society about homeless pets.”

The World Famous Popovich Comedy Pet Theater will visit Nazareth College Arts Center (4245 East Ave.) on Friday, March 25, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25-$55, and may be purchased at the Arts Center box office, or by calling 3892170.

SPECIAL EVENTS | Local Food Events

Ever a primary interest, the subject of food has been receiving more attention recently, due to a renewed concern with supporting locally sourced, good food, as well as our cultural aspirations to make consumption as delicious and unique an experience as possible. This week, two events reflect these very topics; with an opportunity to join local CSAs or learn more about prepared-food culture.

In efforts to expand academic opportunity and globalize the curriculum, RIT’s College of Liberal Arts and the College of Applied Science and Technology is exploring the development of cuisine studies at RIT. Kicking off conversation about the study of food, drink, and culture, with a focus on how technology has changed the game, the first annual Conable Conference: Cuisine, Technology & Development, will take place from Thursday, March 24, to Saturday, March 26.

A welcome reception will take place Thursday, 5:30-7 p.m. in the Fireside Lounge on RIT’s campus (1 Lomb Memorial Drive). Talks by guest lecturers and panel discussions will take place Friday 8:45 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturday, 9:30 a.m.-1:45 p.m., also in the Fireside Lounge. The conference is free to RIT students, $20 for RIT faculty, staff, and alum, and $25 for the general public. Box lunches are available for an additional $25.

Registration is required; for more information and a complete schedule of events, visit rit.edu/cla/conable.

On Saturday, March 26, 1-4 p.m., Physikos (at the Village Gate 302 N. Goodman St., #E201) will host a free NOFA-NY CSA Fair, at which you can meet your local farmers and learn about the diverse range of community-supported agriculture shares available to us. Workshops and kids’ activities will showcase the many benefits of joining a CSA. For more information, call 271-1979, or email kristina@nofany.org.

SPECIAL EVENT | Art of the Cocktail

Having a few classic and a few unique adult drink recipes up your sleeve is an easy and handy way to benefit your social life.

If picking your poison has you at a loss, attend The Art of the Cocktail at Artisan Works (565 Blossom Road) next week and learn something new while you support an important cause. I mean, besides intoxicating your friends with your skills.

An afternoon seminar, “International Trends in the Craft Cocktail Movement,” will take place 12:30-3 p.m., during which three internationally renowned master mixologists — Jeff “Beachbum” Berry, Simon Ford, and Allen Katz — will share their secrets with professional bartenders from all over Western New York State. Tickets are $30 at the door, or $25 in advance, and sign-in begins at noon.

On Tuesday, March 29, 7-10 p.m. meet and greet the honored drink concoctors while you enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres by Madeline’s Catering, taste four fantastic showcase craft cocktails, groove to tunes by DJ Sgt. Pepper, browse the collection at Artisan Works, and bid on silent auction items.

Ticket are $45 at the door or at the site of the event hosts (feebrothers.com). Combination tickets for both events are $70 ($60 advance). Proceeds will benefit The Arc of Monroe County (arcmonroe.com). — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Dr. 227-4020, barnesandnoble. com. 7 p.m. Free.

The attorney in a limo [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“The Lincoln Lawyer” (R), directed by Brad Furman Now playing

Despite the constant attacks of conservatives on people they call “trial lawyers” (corporate lawyers apparently pass muster), the public’s supposedly negative view of the legal profession, and of course all those jokes, lawyer movies and television shows continue to appear and entertain a large audience.

The natural theater of the courtroom offers an appealing dynamic of conflict, the cut-and-thrust of examination and cross-examination, a sense of performance in gesture and rhetoric, and the

built-in audience of judge and jury. The process also allows the viewers the privilege of insight into the inside and perhaps the underside of legal methods and maneuvers.

The latest addition to that sizable group of films, “The Lincoln Lawyer,” quite faithfully adapted from a novel by Michael Connelly, builds an intricate plot around the defense of a wealthy young man accused of sexual assault and attempted murder. Matthew McConaughey plays the lawyer, Mick Haller, who operates out of the back seat of a Lincoln Town Car, which makes the necessary trips all over Los Angeles much easier and probably speeds up the business of chasing ambulances. He agrees to defend Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillippe) for a handsome fee against the charges of a prostitute who accuses him of beating and stabbing her; Roulet vehemently claims he is innocent, the victim of a set-up for the purposes of extorting a great deal of money in a civil suit.

That initially apparently simple case grows ever more complex as Haller and his investigator (William H. Macy) uncover, through a variety of sources

and methods, some rather dubious, a good deal of evidence to support their client’s claim and more important, their defense.

The sheer process of gathering information and assembling it into the structure of a legal case provides its own inherent fascination.

In addition to following the normal methods of checking on witnesses, perusing police records, and so forth, they acquire a surveillance videotape — for a stiff price — from the bar where the accuser first met Louis, and they even bribe people in the justice system with inside knowledge of the case and the approach of the prosecutor.

As Haller learns more and more about the charge and his client, he hears echoes of a previous case with a number of parallels to Roulet’s, including the defendant’s insistence on his innocence. The complications that the research reveals place him in a most uncertain ethical and professional position and eventually create a dangerous situation for his ex-wife and daughter. He begins to learn the truth of his father’s paradoxical dictum, that the worst nightmare for a lawyer involves defending an innocent man.

The director handles a number of subtle points with a good deal of adroitness, balancing a and connecting a variety of plot threads, including not only the differing views of his client’s character and behavior, but also Haller’s own past, his relationship with his wife (Marisa

Familiar strangers [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“Certified Copy” (NR), written and directed by Abbas Kiarostami Opens Friday

Tomei), a prosecutor, and the sometimes comic nature of the lawyer’s methods and clientele.

He even uses his camera to play fair with the audience, who confront the same problems and observe the same evidence as the lawyer, creating inside the legal thriller a challenging and perfectly plausible mystery story.

The obligatory trial sequences work with the same deftness, alternating moments of tension and humor, keeping pace with the dialectic of revelation and the rise and fall of credibility that accompany testimony in lawyer films. The film of course avoids anything like the actual procedure of criminal trials, which usually creep forward through thickets of tedium and consume endless empty hours with the dull recitation of obscure facts.

Aside from the deft manipulation of a complicated plot, the director extracts an entirely competent performance from Matthew McConaughey, who appears in every scene. Except for the mostly perfunctory moments with Marisa Tomei, he conveys some of the complexity of Mick Haller’s character and emotions, including his full knowledge that he defends a great many horribly guilty people, with a good deal of conviction. His absolute confidence, his wised-up attitude, and his dry, ironic delivery serve him well in a variety of situations, and for a change, he keeps his shirt on and refuses to flaunt his notorious washboard abs.

Here’s the thing about cinematic parody: it’s almost impossible to properly satirize anything without a firm grasp of the subject in question, and if you’re that familiar with your intended target, chances are you not-so-secretly love it. And you’re probably not alone in your affection, which means that a balance must be struck between mockery and respect. That’s what has made the Simon Pegg/Nick Frost collaborations so enjoyable; flicks like 2004’s rom-zom-com “Shaun of the Dead” and 2007’s bullet ballet “Hot Fuzz” — as well as their nifty BBC series “Spaced” — have proven that it’s possible to knowingly lampoon the clichés of a genre even as you embrace their easy truths in service to the story.

Pegg and Frost reunite for “Paul,” an alternately satisfying and frustrating

A CGI alien and Simon Pegg in “Paul.”

homage to extraterrestrial encounters and road movies, with a little fish-outof-water thrown in for good measure.

Our latest strangers in a strange land are the very Britishly named fantasy writer Clive Gollings (Frost) and his illustrator, Graeme Willy (Pegg), two sci-fi geeks who hit the highway following ComicCon to fulfill their dream of seeing the alien hotspots. But after a stop at Nevada’s famed Black Mailbox, the two men closely encounter an actual visitor. He’s called Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen), and with his balloon-shaped head, bulbous eyes, and scrawny green body, Paul embodies the archetypical alien, except for all the smoking, swearing, and ass-flashing.

Apparently Paul’s escaped from Area 51, where he’s been imprisoned for the last 60 years. (His side gig as an entertainment consultant is why we visualize extraterrestrials the way we do; a clever phoned-in cameo confirms this.) And like any ET, Paul just wants to go home, but the government, led by the deadpan Jason Bateman, is in dogged pursuit. It’s this framework that allows co-writers Pegg and Frost to reference any number of sci-fi touchstones, from “The X-Files” to “Star Wars” to “Buck Rogers” to “Alien.” Their busy script tosses in a romantic subplot as well, one that showcases the versatile Kristen Wiig as a previously sheltered Bible-thumper but also allows for a few now-uninspired digs at the religious right.

More interesting is the bromance between Clive and Graeme, now altered as the jealous Clive pouts over Graeme’s instant rapport with the laid-back spaceman. Pegg and Frost, as always, are blessed with a magical, effortless chemistry; yeah, they seem like the typical comedy duo (skinny fussbudget and Weeble-esque slob), but they’re both unfailingly generous with the spotlight, and their humor is refreshingly kind. Of course, rounding out a cast with talented ringers never hurts; Jeffrey Tambor, Jane Lynch, and a couple

of formidable women all make the most of their screen time, while Rogen benefits from decent CGI to hit the perfect dudely pitch as Paul, foul-mouthed alien turned wise catalyst for the betterment of his new human friends.

Yet there’s something missing — “Paul” just isn’t as funny or as stylish as it ought to be — and all signs point to the director’s chair. Greg Mottola is no stranger to the chatty buddy movie; he helmed “Superbad” and “Adventureland,” two quality films that neither required nor achieved much in the way of visual flair.

But with Pegg and Frost we’re accustomed to what director Edgar Wright brings to the table, and in the wake of Wright’s eyepopping “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World,” it’s hard not to wonder what might have been with “Paul.” Is it fair to judge by unmet expectations? Maybe not, but it is unavoidable.

Writer-director Abbas Kiarostami is a

legend of international cinema, renowned for his award-winning neo-realist works about life in his native Iran, so him making a film in English (as well as French and Italian) four decades into his career is a very big deal. Set mostly during one afternoon in stunning Tuscany, “Certified Copy” stars an amazingly vulnerable Juliette Binoche as a French antiques dealer who goes on a date with a British writer (opera singer William Shimell, making an impressive debut). They don’t seem to hit it off, but as the day unfolds, we realize we’re watching something else entirely. Kiarostami takes his time in parceling out the details, a disciplined move that heightens the surprising emotional payoff. Not every filmmaker can rivet an audience with merely two people talking, but at a time when frequent collaborator Jafar Panahi is serving six years in an Iranian prison for his artistic efforts, Kiarostami understands that the right to self-expression is precious.

In his self-prescribed therapy, he built “Marwencol,” an astoundingly detailed scale model of an imaginary World War II-era Belgian town populated by the doll-sized “alter-egos” of real-life people.

Anna Magnani plays a middle-aged prostitute determined to give her son the bourgeois life she never had, until a figure from the past returns to threaten her dreams. Astonishingly, director Pasolini was disappointed with Magnani — he favored non-professionals who were authentically “subproletarian” — but no matter: her performance remains one of the greatest in postwar Italian cinema.

Beautiful, Convenient, Civic 19th Ward

129 Aberdeen Street The tree-lined streets of Southwest Rochester’s 19th Ward neighborhood are known for their many beautiful late 19th and early 20th century houses. The one hundred year old American foursquare residence at 129 Aberdeen Street is a fine example with sparkling hardwood floors and trim in almost every room. The house is entered from a spacious covered front porch into a room with dark yellow walls, wood baseboards and trim. This room features a bay window and a ceiling fan. The adjacent cozy living room leads into a dining room with a bay window with seat, and dark wood trim. The recently remodeled kitchen includes an island and ample counter and cupboard space. Off the kitchen is a convenient powder room and access to the backyard.

A staircase with decoratively carved newel posts leads up from the front room. At the landing is a brilliant green, yellow, and brown stained and leaded glass window featuring a fleur-de-lis.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, each with a large closet and a ceiling fan. The spacious bathroom has been recently remodeled and includes a Jacuzzi tub, shower, and double sink with mirror.

The hall includes a built-in linen cabinet with drawers. The large attic and basement offer plenty of storage space.

The 19th Ward neighborhood is home to a diverse group of neighbors that include doctors, lawyers, college professors, teachers, and shopkeepers. The house is a one-block walk to Wilson Magnet High School, one of the
