COVER STORY | BY JEREMY MOULE | PAGE 8 | ILLUSTRATION BY MAX SEIFERT

Environmentalists’ Earth Day pledge Mother Nature has been kind to Rochester. She’s given the area outstanding natural features by way of lakes, forests, glacial formations, and more.

Area environmentalists say it’s all worth fighting for.

They tackle invasive species, work to stop or minimize water pollution, and push for cleaner, more efficient options in transportation and energy generation. As new threats emerge, they respond. Take, for example, the emerald ash borer. Environmentalists and governmental agencies are trying to fight the invasive insect through education and regulation.

There are also longstanding environmental issues, such as water quality in Lake Ontario and the Genesee River. Various people, groups, and governmental agencies have worked on that for decades.

Earth Day is Friday, April 22. In its spirit, some of the region’s environmental leaders shared their prevailing environmental concerns, ongoing and emerging. Their concerns ranged from the restoration of Washington Grove in Cobb’s Hill Park, to complicated national issues such as nuclear power.

Republicans reneged on their promise

Last fall, when they were in campaign mode, our Republican State Senators eagerly signed Ed Koch’s pledge to reform redistricting, so that they could be listed as Heroes of Reform. Now that they are temporarily back in the majority and have the power to make good on their promise, they have suddenly invented reasons for not honoring it. One is reminded of the tendency of cockroaches to scuttle away into dark corners when the light is suddenly turned on.

In the 2010 State Senate elections, 240,000 more Democratic votes than Republican votes were cast (more than 5 percent of total votes), yet Senate Republicans were able to use gerrymandered districts to override the clear intent of voters. This is not a partisan issue; the State Assembly does the same thing for democrats.

In both parties, the “safe seats” created by gerrymandering get filled by legislators who have less incentive to listen to voters, leaving them free to pay more attention to big campaign contributors, special interests, and political bosses.

Call your State Senator.

Tell him that when he makes a pledge, you expect him to honor it. If we don’t person City

Our mistakes in Libya

Mary Anna Towler’s article about Libya (Urban Journal, March 23) doesn’t mention mistakes the US has already made. First Obama said he wouldn’t send ground troops to Libya. This may be the right decision, but you don’t tell the enemy what you’ll do or won’t do. Keep them guessing.

Then he says he won’t have Qaddafi killed. This would repeat the mistake the US made when we didn’t “get” Hussein in 1991.

I support our military action in Libya, but why did we wait so long? It led to more innocents killed at the hands of Qaddafi.

We don’t need to make it easy for him to commit mayhem. After we were attacked on 9/11, the US waited 15 months before we responded. Getting the UN involved was a huge mistake. The UN has been responsible for our defeats in Korea and Vietnam.

Apparently we have not learned the lessons of history.

From our website

On our blog noting the racial division indicated in the election results: This

is the political understatement of the decade.

Johnson lost all but two of the polling sites that were majority white. He won all but two polling sites that were majority African American or substantially diverse. The two districts he won that were majority white were very close geographically to other areas where Bill did well and share lots of characteristics in terms of housing, home ownership, income etc. The two polling site that Bill lost that were not majority white were also significantly diverse and

had a substantial senior citizen community in them where people tend to vote more regularly.

Why is it that Bill won 74 percent of the vote in the district that David Gantt leads but only 16 percent of the vote over on Park and Monroe Avenue? Are we that different?

I’m white. I voted for Bill. Would not have mattered to me if he was white or if Tom was black.

I’m sure 99 percent of the voters, if you asked them to be as honest as they could, would say the same thing.

So why then this drastic split in our community on this simple question of who should be mayor? Do we want different things for our community? Do our families aspire to and deserve different things?

I don’t have a lot of answers, but I know that if we don’t ask this question and try to listen to each other, we’re going to stay in trouble and the divided city Tom has inherited will remain so for a long time.

Good luck to Tom and everyone else at City Hall.

We all have a lot of work to do.

The mayoral race was a simple choice for me, and had nothing to do with rich or poor, black or white. The city needs someone right now who can make tough fiscal decisions in the face of these mounting deficits. Tom Richards may not be the perfect mayoral candidate but he is the type who will make the right decisions without worrying about his political future. Placing Johnson in the mayoral position now, based on his poor fiscal decisions of the past, would likely lead to even greater problems for this great city. Good luck, Mr. Richards.

ATTWNONE

Unfortunately, I don’t have much faith that Richards has the capability to heal that rift. If anything, he has already made it worse.

Your analysis also indicates that David Gantt is a fading flower in this community.

This rift didn’t just start.

It began with the DuffyRichards proposal to take the School Board vote away city voters. It was furthered

by Morelle and Gantt’s special election debacle when they successfully took the right to a primary vote away from city residents. Fortunately Bill Johnson stepped forward as a real leader to say, “Not so fast! We’ve got something to say!”

Richards needs a strong local opposition to balance out this sad and sorry trend in Rochester politics.

The next three years, Richards will carry out Duffy’s agenda and his knowledge of big business.

Nothing against Richards, but that will be his downfall. It is like the balance of justice. We are a divided city. You can’t invest resources and services to a particular tax base and not expect that the surrounding areas would suffer.

I was a Johnson supporter and even though he lost it is important for people to understand the numbers. Richards should sleep with them because it is a loud and clear message, that if he does not create his OWN urban renewal vision for the City of Rochester and stop connecting to the Duffy legacy he will fail.

It is important for Richard to be inclusive of all areas of the city, learn to collaborate and have a more open process, and finally don’t ever take another photo and send it out in the mail of you and all those so called black leaders. It showed lack of diversity and political manipulation of voters.

All the people you were standing with are good talkers and adhere to peer pressure, but do very little for the community.

NOT SO FAST, RICHARDS

reasons why as a taxpayer and mother, I moved to the suburbs. I want my child to have music, art and a nurse!

PREVIOUS CITY RESIDENT

It seems to me that the budget is a political document more than a financial budget. Many of the estimates on cost seem exaggerated while the estimates of student enrollment are reduced, and revenues are very conservative. There are some tables that do not add up right, and many assumptions that seem speculative at best. I think we need to be fair about the budget problem and it seems to me that this document does not do this.

“Government schools” are among the oldest democratic institutions (small “d”) in the country.

Education is the most democratic way to level the playing field. I’m as libertarian and conservative as the next guy, but to denigrate the schools and to rip funding from them is to relegate the poor to near perpetual poverty with even less opportunity than they have now.

I’m not good enough at interpreting budgets to have much to say about the numbers that are being thrown around. I am good enough at politics and common sense to know that the future is the last place you want to take money from.

PRESENTS

The race for mayor and our divided city I could be exaggerating the significance of this, but I don’t think so: A troubling outcome of last week’s mayoral election is that the returns broke sharply along racial lines. Tom Richards carried the city’s predominantly white neighborhoods. Bill Johnson beat the dickens out of Richards in the predominantly black districts.

Some have suggested that it was a class division — that low-income voters chose Johnson and the “haves” chose Richards. But low-income white areas also went for Richards.

Maybe everybody was just voting for the person that, subconsciously, they felt most comfortable with, the person most “like” them. Even that is troubling, but I worry that the division is much deeper, and more serious. If so, Mayor-elect Richards has yet another problem to deal with.

During the campaign, our news staff had talked about the challenge Richards faced as a white man with a corporate background who needed to relate to people from all walks of life. And, most important, to get people from all walks of life to have faith in him.

One on one, Richards is open, engaging, not aloof. And I think he’ll be able to settle comfortably into his new political role.

But that role will need to include heavy outreach into the black and Hispanic communities. As one of our readers has noted, we’re a divided city, and before we can work together, we’ll have to talk about that division. And it won’t be easy.

The division, and the need to talk about it, could lurk in the background of nearly every decision Richards has to make: what services to cut to balance the budget, where to put development funds, how much to invest in downtown and how much in neighborhoods, how to run the police department, how to fund the school district.

And by the way, it occurs to me that Richards may be the right person at the right time because of his corporate background, not in spite of it. For the city to make significant progress will take efforts well beyond those of City Hall. Rochester’s big-business community was strongly behind Richards; maybe he can rally them to persuade Republican County Legislators to adequately fund social services that serve the city’s poorest residents. Maybe he can even resurrect a Rochester version of the Harlem Children’s Zone — and rally the

The racial division, and the need to talk about it, could lurk in the background of nearly every decision Richards makes.” business community, suburban leaders, and the social-service community to support it.

This will be a tough job, and so many other things are facing Richards right now that it may be tempting to delay addressing the racial divide. That would be a major mistake.

A note to readers: As regular posters to our

website have noticed, we have tightened our guidelines for those postings.

Websites have been an exciting addition to newspapers’ offerings. They let readers respond to our articles and have discussions with one another immediately, and they have vastly increased the amount of readers participation.

Initially, the philosophy pretty much everywhere was to let readers go at it without editors’ interference. But you know what the result was: a cesspool. Since then, media websites have been screening out the most offensive posts but trying to keep hands off the others. The result has been mixed, in my opinion: some good comments, certainly, but also an abundance of posts from readers who are more interested in attacking one another than in engaging in a civil discussion.

Some free-range proponents argue that the two can co-exist. I don’t think so, not for long. I don’t see how a website whose comments are sprinkled heavily with insults will attract thoughtful discussions by thoughtful readers over the long term.

Our guidelines: We moderate all comments, as we always have, and we don’t approve those that contain racist or obscene comments or are personal insults. Flail away at us, if you like, but be respectful to one another.

[ news from the week past ]

Economy is growing

The US economy added 216,000 jobs in March, according to the Labor Department, pushing the unemployment rate down to 8.8 percent, the lowest it’s been in two years. Most of the jobs were in the private sector, indicating, at least to Wall Street, that the US economy is well into a recovery phase. Stocks rose sharply on Friday in response to the brighter jobs outlook.

Men on the run

Two inmates broke out of the Monroe County Jail allegedly by cutting through a bar on a second-story window and jumping out. The inmates are Joseph Lee Mitchell, an alleged drug dealer who could receive a lengthy prison sentence, and Eddie Palmer, who was soon to be released from jail. Local, state, and federal law-enforcement agencies were, as of Monday, still searching for the pair.

Bad news, but early

The State Legislature passed a $132.5-billion budget, and did it a day early. The budget includes more school aid than originally proposed

by Governor Andrew

Cuomo, but still cuts $1.3 billion from 201011 education funding.

The budget alters state economic development programs, changes school-aid distribution, and provides a new mechanism for prison closings. It also emphasizes community-based services in the juvenile justice system.

RPO to honor SSO tickets

Rediscovering Susan B. and Frederick D.

The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra will honor tickets to the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra, which has suspended operations due to financial difficulties and cancelled the remainder of its 2010-2011 concert season. Affected SSO ticket holders can call the RPO box office at 585454-2100 to trade-in their tickets for specific RPO performances.

Warney can sue

Douglas Warney will be able to sue the state for restitution following a ruling by New York’s highest court. Warney gave a false confession and was convicted of murder in 1997. The confession, which put Warney behind bars for nine years, was likely coerced, according to the court. With the help of the Innocence Project, Warney was freed in 2006.

the “WORD”

The sheer size of Mt. Hope Cemetery — covering nearly 200 acres — makes the graves of two of its most famous residents, Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass, difficult to find.

And the graves aren’t as accessible as they could be, says Paul Holahan, commissioner of the City of Rochester’s Department of Environmental Services.

The city will use a $15,000 grant from the Rochester Area Community Foundation, he says, to make the Douglass and Anthony graves easier to find and reach. Preliminary plans include improved signage, landscaping, and a stone path leading to each site.

And Marilyn Nolte, president of the Friends of Mt. Hope Cemetery, says the steps leading to Douglass’ grave need to be re-set.

Project design should be done this spring, Holahan says, and the work completed by the end of October. You can still visit the grave sites during the project.

The Anthony and Douglass grave sites get so many visitors that it’s difficult to keep grass there, Nolte says. She doesn’t have an exact number, but says that approximately 2,500 people take official tours of the cemetery every year.

The Friends group has its own plans for other parts of the cemetery, too. The group has an approximately $200,000 grant, and will use it to restore two mausoleums, restore the carriage path around the fountain, update signage, and other work.

“Starting this year, they’re going to be picking sections, a couple of sections every year, and they’re going to go in there and start restoring by filling in some holes, getting rid of woodchucks, cutting down dead trees,” Nolte says. “Over time, I think you’re going to see a lot of improvements.”

Rochester’s YNN anchors will no longer work out of the Mount Hope Avenue studio. They’ll remain in their jobs, but they’ll work out of the YNN studio in Buffalo. Rochester and Buffalo will continue to have separate newscasts, however, and YNN Rochester reporters will still be based out of Mount Hope.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Rochester news, via Buffalo For approximately 20 years, cable channel 9 has been the Rochester equivalent of CNN. The channel known as YNN Rochester, formerly R News, pioneered the concept of a 24-hour local news network. Time-Warner Cable, the station’s owner, has since established identical stations in cities across New York.

YNN, and R News before it, made a mark on the local news scene. It covered standard television news fare: public controversies, elections, government, human-interest stories, breaking news like fires and accidents, and crime. And it broadcast several criminal trials in their entirety, including the proceedings against Rochester serial killer Arthur Shawcross. At the time, a temporary law allowed cameras into courtrooms. The State Legislature never renewed the law, however, which shut cameras out of criminal proceedings in New York’s courts.

But part of the channel 9 tradition is changing. Rochester’s anchors will no longer work out of the Mount Hope Avenue studio.

They’ll remain in their jobs, barring personal decisions otherwise, but they’ll work out of the YNN studio in Buffalo, as will that station’s anchors, says Lara Pritchard, vice president of communications for Time-Warner Cable Northeast. Rochester and Buffalo will continue to have separate newscasts, she says.

The Rochester reporters will still be based out of the Mount Hope Avenue studio,

she says. And the Rochester newscasts will remain locally-produced.

Technical operations — control room-type work — will be transferred to Albany, she says. The network’s able to consolidate the anchoring and technical jobs because of new technology that makes it easier, Pritchard says, for different YNN stations to share stories.

So what’ll this mean for YNN’s local newscasts? Will viewers notice any difference in content or quality? Those questions will only be answered over time. Pritchard says YNN Rochester is actually adding staff in the field, though she’s unsure how many. YNN’s Rochester and Buffalo stations could work together to cover Western New York in more of a regional sense, but Pritchard couldn’t say whether there’d be that kind of shift.

“We’ll certainly maintain a focus to cover news where it happens,” she says.

MEDICAL RESEARCH | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

The lead-osteoporosis link It has long been understood that lead exposure can cause neurological and cognitive impairment in children. It was the basis of a contentious community-wide debate before City Council passed Rochester’s landmark anti-lead legislation in 2005.

But until now, there’s been relatively little known about the effect of lead’s toxicity on adults. Research from the University of Rochester Medical Center shows that lead exposure is a significant risk factor for osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is a disease that typically occurs in older adults. Studies indicate that 44 million Americans over the age of 50 have osteoporosis or low bone mass. By 2020, the number is expected to increase to 61 million.

“Bone mass as one gets older decreases,” says J. Edward Puzas. “It happens sooner in women than it does in men.” Puzas is senior associate dean for basic research and professor of orthopaedics at URMC. But when bone loss goes below a certain point, what clinicians call the “fracture threshold,” the likelihood of breaking a bone through normal daily activity increases, he says.

“The first place you normally see it is in the spine,” Puzas says. “The real danger though is breaking a hip.” Fifteen percent of women who break a hip die within a year from complications associated with the fracture, he says.

What hasn’t been understood until recently, he says, is how lead hones in on the bones in humans.

“Lead and calcium look a lot alike at the atomic level,” Puzas says. “Lead literally kicks calcium out of the bones. And about 95 percent of the lead in our bodies is in our bones.” Even worse, after exposure, it takes about 25 years for half of that lead to leave the bones.

Puzas and his researchers first stumbled on the link between lead and osteoporosis about 15 years ago when a student added trace amounts of lead to some bone cells in the lab.

“It threw the cells for a loop and they just stopped working normally,” Puzas says.

The research continued and Puzas’ team got its big break in 2009. A large grant from the National Institute of Health allowed researchers to investigate the full spectrum of how lead exposure impacts skeletal metabolism. The research examined four different areas: how lead interferes with normal bone cell functions; how lead exposure impacts growth in long bones, such as arms and legs; whether lead exposure inhibits the ability for fractures to heal; and whether a relationship between high bone lead levels and low bone density exists.

In every instance, lead was a culprit.

“Does the presence of lead inhibit your ability to heal from a fracture?” asks Puzas.

“The answer is yes.”

One reason researchers may have overlooked lead exposure as a health risk to adults has to do with how doctors once measured bone lead levels. An older generation of X-ray-based technology didn’t account for

The presence of lead in bone inhibits healing from a fracture, says J. Edward Puzas, URMC professor of orthpaedics and senior associate dean for basic research. Photo PROVIDED

the problem lead poses in bone. Lead is an ideal shield against the X-ray’s harmful beam.

“If you have extra lead in your bones, the X-ray beam is not going to pass through your bone as well as it would if there were no lead in your bone,” Puzas says. “You can have a bone that has less mass and have a lot of lead in it, and it will look as if it has the same density as a bone that doesn’t have the lead in it. The lead was actually masking the ability of the early clinicians to detect this relationship.”

But the team’s most significant discovery has to do with a gene known as sclerostin and its ability to permit lead to cause bone loss.

Sclerostin is a potent inhibitor of bone formation: it keeps bone growth in check.

But when lead interferes with this inhibitor, Puza says, something dramatic occurs.

“Lead exposure in the laboratory, in animals, and in humans drives sclerostin levels sky high,” he says. “If lead stimulates sclerostin and sclerostin is an inhibitor of bone formation, that’s probably preventing the normal bone from being formed. And that’s why over time you end up with not enough bone formation and a low bone mass.”

A drug that blocks sclerostin is being studied, Puzas says, which might help treat lead-related osteoporosis, but more research is needed.

OPINION | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Tom Richards and the long road ahead A rigorous and accelerated campaign behind him, Rochester Mayor-elect Tom Richards now has the unglamorous task of being the antiSanta Claus. The city’s in a heap of financial trouble and has limited tools to deal with it: service cuts, layoffs, and a tax increase are all on the table. Richards has been clear about that.

There’s a scene in “Apollo 13” — the movie is in infinite airings on cable TV — where a previously unheralded character steps forward and points out that “power is everything.”

Everyone else is stuck on this-and-that technical thing while trying to save the crew of a crippled space vessel, but the reality is, without power, nothing else matters.

Rochester is in a similar situation, but our core issue is money. We can talk about growing the tax base all day long, but that’s a long-term project. As we saw with the recent Census figures, the city’s population is still City

april 6-12, 2011

declining, and even if that turns around, it’ll be years before it makes a real difference in terms of tax revenue. And the businesses won’t come until we get that population up.

What does that mean? It means reinvention: a new, leaner way of running the government while still protecting the most vulnerable among us. The $50-million chasm is not a one-year predicament.

Pension costs are going to continue to rise, the cost of fuel and health benefits are likely to do the same, and on and on.

We simply cannot continue the status quo; it is unsustainable. That’s why it puzzled me when a couple of the mayoral candidates promoted revisiting the police reorganization. Even the chief says the city cannot afford a return to the old quadrant model and anyway, he says, it might not be the best way to go.

I don’t think we should expect any grand plans or projects from the Richards administration — we’ll get the bus station, probably Paetec, MCC, probably not the theater — because the next three years are going to be about survival. And Richards can be the chief-bearer-of-bad-news the city requires at this point in its history because he has no political aspirations beyond the mayor’s office. So often, political considerations prevent decision-makers from doing the painful but necessary. To be fair, the public makes it awfully hard. We abhor even the mention of new taxes while screaming like hell when services get cut.

Richards, in my opinion, was pragmatic and plain spoken throughout the campaign. He said that there could very well be layoffs, that a small tax increase is possible, that public safety cannot be spared from cuts this time, and that if

ENVIRONMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

Mother Nature has been kind to the Rochester area.

The region has great natural features like Lake Ontario and the wetlands along its shore, glacial formations in Mendon Ponds Park, and ample freshwater resources, including the pristine Hemlock and Canadice Lakes, which provide drinking water for some Monroe County residents. The region also includes mature forests, and migratory bird habitat and stopover points.

Area environmentalists say all of this is worth fighting for. They tackle invasive species, work to stop or minimize water pollution, and push for cleaner, more efficient options in transportation and energy generation. As new threats emerge, they respond.

And while the Rochester region has some outstanding natural resources, it’s also coping with weighty environmental issues, some of which have been going on for decades. The Genesee River and near-shore Lake Ontario, for example, suffer from pollution and limitations such as fish consumption advisories. Other threats are newer, including the invasion of the emerald ash borer, an insect that burrows into and kills native ash trees.

Earth Day is Friday, April 22: a full day dedicated to educating the public on environmental issues. In that spirit, some of the region’s environmental leaders offered up a handful of prevailing issues of concern, ongoing and emerging. They range from highly local projects, such as the restoration of Washington Grove in Cobb’s Hill Park, to complicated national issues such as nuclear power.

Many of these issues are connected to climate change. High fossil-fuel consumption increases the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which drives climate change. A warming planet has a host of implications. For example, some plant and animal species can now survive and even thrive in places they couldn’t before.

Energy sources and consumption is the subject of

an important and intricate national conversation.

It affects New York in several ways.

The state has seen controversy over the prospect of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing in the Marcellus Shale.

The rock formation lies underneath several states and New York’s Southern Tier, and energy companies say it’s a major natural gas resource. Companies are already drilling in the West Virginia and Pennsylvania sections of the formation; they’ve been especially aggressive in Pennsylvania.

Fracking critics say drilling has the potential to contaminate ground and surface water. They also say that, while cleaner than coal, extracting and burning natural gas still contributes to global warming. Hugh Mitchell, a long-time member of the Sierra Club’s Rochester chapter, says environmental groups across the state are conducting petition drives and letter-writing campaigns. They want Governor Andrew Cuomo to ask the DEC to redo the initial draft of the environmental impact statement, Mitchell says, because it is insufficient. Environmental groups statewide criticized the document for lacking enforceable regulations and penalties.

The State Department of Environmental Conservation has been developing an environmental statement on the combined use of horizontal drilling and fracking in the Marcellus and Utica Shales. That process has taken more than two years so far, and the agency received approximately

14,000 comments to review, a DEC spokesperson says. A revised draft is due early this summer, he says, and the public will have a chance to offer comments.

The federal Environmental Protection Agency is conducting its own study of hydraulic fracturing, focusing on the public-health implications of fracking as a means of extracting natural gas.

Some environmental groups want state environmental officials to wait for the results of that study before deciding whether to allow fracking in the state’s Marcellus Shale.

Last year, the New York Power Authority solicited proposals to build offshore wind projects in Lakes Erie and Ontario. NYPA would enter into a long-term power-purchasing agreement with any chosen developer.

The Great Lakes Offshore Wind project, as it’s called, hasn’t received much attention lately. NYPA hasn’t selected any proposals or released details about who submitted proposals, the exact site or sites under consideration, or the size of any proposed wind development. Prior to requesting proposals, the authority identified several areas in Lakes Ontario and Erie with good potential for wind power.

from a natural gas power plant or gasoline in automobiles.

There has been progress in this area. Take, for example, the Finger Lakes Energy Smart Communities program, which is part of a broader state energy-efficiency program run locally, through contract, by the Center for Environmental Information.

The program is a sort of clearinghouse for the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s many residential and business incentive programs. NYSERDA will, for example, pay for an energy audit

too much paper goes into “Way the waste stream.

“

The proposal was controversial from the start and opponents claimed it could mar views of the lake and harm fish and birds. Lakeshore property owners campaigned against the project, as did some fishing charter operators. Local governments along Lakes Ontario and Erie issued official objections to the project. They include the Monroe County Legislature, the Wayne County Board of Supervisors, the Irondequoit Town Board, the Greece Town Board, and the Webster Town Board.

Sierra Club member Frank Regan The state and local Audubon Society chapters do not oppose the project, though their support of offshore wind comes with caveats.

June Summers, president of the Genesee Valley Audubon Society, says the state needs to establish offshore wind regulations.

Officials should develop siting guidelines, she says, and should require three years of study to determine migration patterns in the area, which will help appropriately locate the towers and turbines. The state should also require ongoing monitoring once an offshore project is built, she says.

“We need the regulations in place to require the companies to do this work,” Summers says. “Wind power and solar power look to be some of our best answers at this time as far as reducing the effects of climate change.”

Frank Regan, an active Sierra Club member who runs www.rochesterenvironment.com, says that the GLOW project is a good opportunity to boost renewable energy in New York, and aesthetic concerns shouldn’t halt the project. Without cutting down on fossil fuel use, he says, climate change will alter the lake’s conditions anyway.

“I don’t think the general public understands that when the counties say no to this, they’re saying ‘Well, then we’ve got to have nuclear power, we’ve got to have coal, we’ve got to have oil, we’ve got to have these other things,’” Regan says. “That’s the default. That’s what happens.”

Nuclear power, too, will get more scrutiny, due to the near-catastrophe Japan is experiencing with its plants, Mitchell says. Sierra Club members and officials are particularly concerned with on-site storage of spent nuclear fuel.

Energy conservation will also be key heading

into the future. The simplest, cheapest way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to use less energy, whether it’s electricity generated

for households making less than $133,000.

After the audits, residents are presented with a ranked list of upgrades that’ll help make their homes more energy efficient. That can include sealing the house, installing insulation, or putting in a more efficient furnace. Households receiving audits under this program become eligible for up to $13,000 in subsidized loans to fund the top three upgrades on their lists.

“This is to encourage them about doing these energy-efficient upgrades,” says Lee Loomis, one of the local program’s two fulltime coordinators.

Other programs are aimed at lower-income residents for things like replacing inefficient appliances. Businesses can get subsidies for audits and incentives for installing prequalified energy-efficient equipment such as lighting, commercial refrigeration, variable speed drives, and heating and air conditioning.

Finger Lakes Energy Smart Communities also recruits contractors to pursue the appropriate certification so they can perform NYSERDAbacked audits and improvements.

Interest in the programs has been growing. In 2008, 5,213 households across the state undertook energy-efficient projects after getting an audit. That increased to 6,123 in 2010. In Monroe County, those figures were 1,033 in 2008 and 1,674 in 2010.

Transportation is another area ripe for

curtailing energy consumption.

The Environmental Protection Agency says that in 2008, transportation accounted for 27 percent of domestic greenhouse-gas emissions. It’s also the fastest growing source of emissions.

One of the best ways to curb those emissions is for people to walk or bike short distances, says Regan, who chairs the Sierra continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Earth Day pledge continues from page 9

Club’s Transportation Committee. Using mass transit also helps.

Rochester officials have been developing a plan to make city streets more accommodating to cyclists. The Bicycle Master Plan, a guide for city spending on bicycle infrastructure, is in its final stages of development.

If the city follows through and implements the plan’s recommendations, Rochester’s streets should become friendlier to cyclists. And that will encourage people to use bikes as a transportation alternative, Regan says.

To advance the issue, transportation advocates and agencies are holding the Greater Rochester Active Transportation Symposium on April 27 at Radisson Riverside Rochester Hotel. Active transportation essentially refers to walking, biking, skateboarding, or other humanpowered means of getting around.

Ultimately, rising gas prices may be what gets people out of their cars. If gas gets near $5 a gallon, Regan says, that may be a tipping point.

“It would be great if we could just motivate them now to do it,” he says.

Waste reduction and recycling has been

a staple environmental issue for decades.

Onondaga County’s waste management agency decided last summer to start accepting No. 5 plastic containers for recycling. That prompted some local residents to push Monroe County government to expand its plastics recycling program.

That hasn’t happened yet. County officials have resisted collecting Nos. 3 through 7 plastics because, they say, there’s no market for them. But Regan says there has been some movement on the issue, especially since the state’s bottle bill has taken more and more plastic out of municipal recycling collections, and because of rising oil prices; petroleum products are used in plastics manufacturing.

Regan also stresses the importance of paper recycling and says the county does well at it. The county has sponsored campaigns to encourage residents to recycle more paper, and Regan backs that effort.

“Way too much paper goes into the waste stream,” he says.

Waste reduction is an issue across New York. It’s addressed in the state’s new solid waste management plan, Beyond Waste, which focuses on increasing recycling and reuse, and also on eliminating waste at its source.

One way to do that is to provide incentives for companies to reduce packaging materials, or providing a disincentive for companies that generate a lot of packing materials that ultimately end up as garbage or recycling.

The plan will cost money to implement, however. It’s also closer to a set of guidelines than a collection of legal requirements.

10 City april 6-12, 2011

Frank Regan, Zero Waste Committee chair for the Rochester Sierra Club chapter, says a new plan from the state doesn’t have any teeth.

“It’s a great plan,” Regan says. “It has a lot of zero-waste components to it. But it doesn’t have any teeth.

It doesn’t have any enforcement behind it.”

Local environmentalists and agencies have

waged a long fight against invasive species.

Invasives can be fish and other aquatic organisms, insects, plants, and even trees.

They’ve all been introduced from somewhere outside of New York and, once established, are nearly impossible to get rid of.

Environmentalists and agencies have embraced educational efforts to help stop the spread of these species and to prevent new ones from being established.

They’ve printed brochures, held invasive species walks, and, in the case of the State Department of Environmental Conservation, conducted media and advertising campaigns.

They’ve also used hands-on restoration efforts, such as a Sierra Club project to remove invasive Norway maple trees from Washington Grove.

Water quality in area streams and lakes is another long-term focus. Gone are the days of discharging sewage and high volumes of industrial waste into Lake Ontario. Instead, the focus is on near-shore water quality and its contributors, namely nutrient runoff into the Genesee River and other streams that feed into it or the lake.

The Center for Environmental Information has been studying phosphorous

levels in lower Black Creek and upper Oak Orchard Creek, then working to pinpoint the sources. Phosphorous is a nutrient that contributes to algae growth, and both streams carry it toward Lake Ontario.

That project involves the use of computer modeling to aid in determining the sources.

That model has shown that, while agricultural and residential fertilizer runoff contribute to the contamination, animal activities are a bigger source. Septic systems are also significant contributors.

The project will accomplish two things.

First, CEI researchers are creating and documenting a process that, if successful, can be used by other people. Second, identifying the sources of the contamination allows for corrective action. But there’s a catch.

“There’s great opportunity there, but all that stuff takes time and effort and sometimes money on people’s part to fix it,” says George Thomas, executive director of CEI. “I don’t know if we’ll be able to muster up what it takes to do that.”

Upcoming environmental events Sierra Club forum

There was a time, say about 50 years ago, when dining out in America meant big steaks, strong drinks, and not too many vegetables. You could sit down at pretty much any steakhouse anywhere in the country and order without ever picking up a menu, certain in the knowledge that the steaks would be big, the spinach would be creamed, and that you could order your potatoes both ways: fried or mashed.

Over the years, steakhouses became the rarified territory of the expense-account set, the place to go to seal a deal or make one.

And for the most part, that’s what steakhouses have stayed since names like Ruth’s Chris became synonymous with the $60 filet mignon. So, it’s nice to know that there’s a steakhouse for the rest of us, a place where the drinks are still strong, the steaks and seafood

are delicious, and the price tag — while still high — isn’t so astronomical that you have to make the choice between paying for dinner or making your mortgage payment.

Pittsford’s Black & Blue Steak & Crab is such a restaurant. Open for more than five years, Black & Blue is in many ways a throwback to old-school steakhouses. As the name implies, the menu runs to steaks and chops along with a healthy selection of good-quality seafood, served with all the usual steakhouse trimmings in an atmosphere that manager Marie Nye describes as “warm, relaxed, and refined.” The dining room and bar, both gigantic, somehow manage not to be overly loud, allowing you to talk to your dinner companions without having to shout (as happens too often in trendy restaurants these days).

The service, both in the dining room and at the bar, is flawless, providing a good balance of solicitousness and circumspection that are marks of both good training and long experience. No detail was too small, and no request a bother. When I took it into my head to order some broccoli rabe to go with my steak, it arrived at the table almost before I’d managed to cut the next bite of meat. The team behind the bar seemed to have some

sort of telepathy, showing up at just the right moments with just the right suggestions — they even found a third chair at the bar for one of my dining companions when it appeared that the whole bar was full.

Executive chef David Cassidy and chef de

cuisine Aaron Bolton, taking advice from owners Charlie Fitzsimmons, Sam Carey, and Doug Weims, have developed a menu that manages to be both traditional and contemporary, putting a modern twist on classics while also throwing a bit of whimsy into the mix. Take the chopped salad, for instance.

Chopped salads went out of favor more than a decade ago, because they are frankly a lot of work to make — a cross between a tossed salad and a slaw that requires a very sharp knife and some pretty good skills to make well. The cooks in Black & Blue’s kitchen have both, and send out a salad that is gorgeously chopped, allowing you to have a bit of everything — tomato, cucumber, onion, bleu cheese, bacon, and lettuce — in each crispy bite. That alone is good, but tossing a handful of toasted chickpeas into the mix makes it that much better, adding a nutty taste and pleasant crunch along with a touch of spice and salt to balance the sweetness in the dressing ($7.95).

Like the salads, the appetizers tend to be studies in updated classics. Kobe beef meatballs are served on long skewers in a creamy sauce redolent of garlic and caramelized onions — one of my companions described them as the best Swedish meatballs ever — tender, juicy, and very generously portioned ($9.95). Beef carpaccio, that restaurant standard of the 1980’s and 1990’s, gets an attractive update here: the beef sliced so thin that it almost looks like a sauce on the plate, the traditional accompaniments of red onions and capers mixed into a piquant salad of microgreens dressed with white truffle oil and served in a “bowl” made out of fried parmesan cheese ($10.95). Chunks of the bowl make a perfect, salty platform for bits of beef and garnish.

You’d expect the steaks and seafood to be impressive, and they are. A longstanding special, the 12 oz. dry-aged New York strip steak delivers intense beefy goodness in every bite ($37.95). Served sizzling on a hot platter, and teetering on the edge between rare and medium rare, the residual heat in the plate gave each slice a little additional sear before I dabbed on some black truffle butter and then headed back for more. King crab is particularly good this year, and the gigantic tangle of legs my companion ordered looked like they must have come off of a 1950’s movie monster ($12.95 per half pound). Pre-cracked for your convenience, but not entirely shelled so that you can still enjoy the primal pleasure of dismembering your dinner (although the kitchen will be happy to do this for you, if you ask), the meat in these legs is snowy white and so rich that it almost doesn’t need the cup of clarified butter that it’s delivered with.

Good as these entrees are, it’s the pork and beans that really got my attention ($19.95).

A brined 12 oz. pork chop alone is a thing of beauty, seared with gorgeously browned edges, a long Frenched white bone sticking out almost daring you to abandon your knife and fork. Served atop barbecue baked beans that are really something closer to cassoulet, this dish is both stunningly tasty and overwhelmingly huge. Shreds of pulled pork, ground beef, spices, onions, and demiglace turn into a thick and utterly delicious gravy for the beans, and the perfect sauce to liven up the pork chop that floats atop them. I found myself wishing for a chunk of corn bread to crumble into my plate, but instead contented myself by mopping up the last of the sauce with one of the house-made pretzel rolls, which our very attentive waitress kept refilling throughout the meal.

[ REVIEW ] BY ANDY KLINGENBERGER

Musicians are notorious for starting concerts late. Start times are routinely flaunted, leaving audiences without much to do beyond critiquing the house music or drinking more beer. In that sense, David Bazan’s performance Friday night at a house in the Neighborhood of the Arts was similar to any other. Once he walked through the front door, however, all similarities to any other show ended. Bazan held an audience of 40 or so fans, seated on the floor of a stranger’s living room, rapt for an 80-minute set.

The former lead singer of Pedro the Lion, Bazan has taken to touring the country, playing shows in the living rooms of willing strangers. Bazan chose an area of the country he wanted to be in on a certain date, and fans submitted pictures of their spaces for the privilege of hosting the show.

Stage banter can be an uncomfortable part of a show, but Bazan almost seemed to relish it. He stopped after every other song and asked if anyone in the audience had questions or concerns. No concerns were raised, but in a room filled with fans that had paid $20 to witness the intimate performance, questions were readily available.

Queries ran the gamut from how Bazan’s daughter was doing, to whether Bazan’s public turn from his Christian faith tied in to

the end of his previous band, to what brand of guitar he played. Bazan answered each inquiry as best he could, being humorous when possible, and answering even when it seemed like his response might make him personally uncomfortable.

Musically, Bazan stuck more to his recent solo material, including three songs from his soon-to-be-released album coming out in May. But he mixed in a few Pedro the Lion songs, as well as songs from his one-off Headphones project. Thematically, Bazan’s songs deal very openly with uncomfortable, universal issues like the loss of love or the ebb and flow of personal faith. In watching him perform in such an intensely personal setting, it’s clear that he has struggled with these themes himself; his musical anecdotes are an intense glimpse into his subconscious.

In explaining why he was late in arriving, Bazan said he had been wrapped up in an audio book and missed his exit.

When asked what he was listening to that distracted him so, he responded sheepishly with “Harry Potter.” The audience laughed, but it summed up what made the evening special: Bazan’s ability to provoke thought through his music is made possible because sometimes the only answer to the existential questions is that it’s all a bit of magic.

Wednesday, April 6

Jazz pianist Deanna Witkowski returns to her alma mater, Webster-Thomas High School, for a concert next week. She has become a nationally recognized performer in both traditional and liturgical jazz.

Jazz and the spirit Deanna Witkowski Wednesday, April 13 Webster-Thomas High School, 800 Five Mile Line Road.

7:30 p.m. | Free | 670-8000 [ PROFILE ] BY RON NETSKY

When Deanna Witkowski played piano with the jazz band at Webster Thomas High School in the late 1980’s she was merely reading the music in front of her. When she takes the stage as guest artist with the band on April 13, she won’t need any music to improvise on a par with the best.

Since graduating from Webster, Witkowski has forged a career in jazz along with a unique sideline in jazz-oriented liturgical music. She’s played top venues — including the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York — and has done three tours in Brazil. But being a woman in the man’s world of jazz hasn’t been easy.

There are, of course, some female jazz stars, but in general it’s tougher for women to break through. One example: in the 23 years of its existence there has never been a female player in the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Witkowski has found that she can’t tour with people who are not comfortable with a woman leading. And the standards are different for side players. “I know I’m a great supporting musician,” says Witkowski. “You have to be twice as good at what you do.”

Along with her own trio, Witkowski is currently a side-person in Vanderlei Pereira’s 16 City april 6-12, 2011

Brazilian sextet, Blindfold Test, and a member of the BMI/New York Jazz Orchestra. Fluent in Portuguese, she sings and plays in a duo with São Paulo-based guitarist/vocalist Filó Machado.

Witkowski resides in the jazz mecca of New

York City, but it’s not as glamorous as it sounds. She lives in Hell’s Kitchen. Known for gangs and mythologized in “West Side Story,” the neighborhood is becoming gentrified with high-rises and hotels, but “when I moved here, I was like a pioneer,” says Witkowski.

In her high-school days Witkowski had an excellent classical piano teacher, but she didn’t have the theory or feel for jazz. She wanted to improvise, but it was tougher than she’d imagined. “I got a book of Erroll Garner transcriptions and auditioned for All-State Jazz Band,” says Witkowski. “That part was fine. Then they put on the play-along record. You’re supposed to improvise on a blues. I didn’t know what to do.”

Attending concerts by the Eastman Jazz Ensemble drew her deeper into the music.

When she went to study classical piano at Wheaton College, outside of Chicago, she finally found someone who could teach her jazz: Brad Williams had played in The Woody Herman Orchestra.

“As soon as I started studying with him I knew this was what I wanted to do,” says Witkowski. “I loved every piano player he had me listen to.”

She got a steady lunchtime gig at a Chicago restaurant. It wasn’t much money, but they were paying her to hone her skills.

She also began getting church gigs.

Then she saw an advertisement for music director at All Angels’ Episcopal Church in New York. They were looking for a composer, someone who played various styles of music, and had organized jazz services. Witkowski thought, that’s me. “They said, we have a tradition, whenever there’s a new music director, they write us a new mass,” says Witkowski.

“That’s how I’ve had this side thing happen.”

That side thing eventually led her to record “From This Place,” an album of sacred texts and jazz featuring Donny McCaslin (saxophone), John Patitucci (bass), and Scott Latzky (drums), along with vocalists Kate McGarry, Laila Biali, and Peter Eldridge.

Witkowski is no longer at All Angels, but she’s taken her sacred jazz to churches around the country. While in Rochester she’ll also play at the 8:50 and 10:30 a.m. services Sunday, April 10, at Webster Presbyterian Church, 550 Webster Road.

Her sacred jazz continues to bring opportunities. While in Hawaii for a recent church gig, she also played some jazz gigs and recorded her latest project, which combines Chopin and jazz.

Along the way, Witkowski was inspired

by a woman she never met. After hearing her in a competition, pianist Billy Taylor invited Witkowski to perform at a festival celebrating pianist/composer Mary Lou Williams at the Kennedy Center.

“At first, I didn’t know anything about Mary Lou Williams,” says Witkowski. “[Trumpeter] Dave Douglas recommended some recordings. I went to her archive at Rutgers [University] and listened to her liturgical music. I was impressed by the wide range of her playing and her determination to do whatever the hell she had to do to get her music played.” And, like Witkowski, Williams had been deeply involved in liturgical jazz.

“I wish I had met her, but she feels like a mentor to me anyway. She started her own record label. Her manager didn’t think she should be doing liturgical music — it wasn’t commercial.

But she felt that jazz should be available everywhere, in church just as much as in a club.”

At the Williams celebration Witkowski also met Marian McPartland. Two years later, after Witkowski won the Great American Jazz Piano Competition, she got a call from the producer of “Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz.”

If you’ve ever wondered whether McPartland’s show is as spontaneous as it sounds, here’s Witkowski’s answer: “I spoke to her a week before and asked if she wanted to talk about what tunes we would play. She said no, just show up.”

It hasn’t been easy to sustain a career in jazz, but when Witkowski is at the piano in the middle of a solo, it’s all worthwhile. “It feels very freeing, it feels very joyful. It’s like having time be suspended and you’re just existing in the right spot.”

JAZZ | Blue Cranes

There is something wonderfully odd and off-kilter about the music of Blue Cranes, so it’s no surprise to find that the Portland, Oregon-based group is in the midst of a tour — across the entire country — by train. With two saxophones (tenor played by a man named Sly Pig), keyboards, bass, and drums, Blue Cranes’ sound can range from sublime subtlety to full-throttle, frenetic freak-out. The music verges on avant-garde and yet manages to be not only engaging, but also downright catchy.

Joining them on the bill are Wills Bands and Last Groove.

ALT-COUNTRY | Old 97’s

Unlike their like-minded alt-country pioneering brethren (Whiskeytown, The Bottle Rockets, Drive-By Truckers, etc.)

Dallas band The Old 97’s seem to transcend the classic-country lament and woe. Love and love lost still reign supreme, but frontman and principle songwriter Rhett Miller’s stinging turns of phrase still maintain a certain innocence. You don’t generally picture this band drunk or solving problems with firearms, though Miller’s characters have been known to do so.

The band’s 2005 live LP “Alive and Wired” was engineered by Rochester soundman extraordinaire Ron Mesh. Steady on the scene since 1993, The Old 97’s are essentially a country band playing pop without losing sight of the twang. Teddy Thompson and The Tommy Brunett get things rolling.

FOLK | Lisa Brigantino

Lisa Brigantino spent four years performing the John Paul Jones role in Led Zeppelin tribute band Lez Zeppelin. That group recorded an album with legendary Led Zeppelin producer Eddie Kramer, and even appeared on “CBS Sunday Morning.” But in order to pursue a career in original music, Brigantino gave up her gig with the group she co-founded. The result is her new album, “Wonder Wheel,” with 13 songs that showcase Brigantino’s gorgeous melodies. The accompanying guitar riffs are rooted in more traditional musical styles. A graduate of SUNY Fredonia, she holds a Master’s degree in music composition and theory. Teagan and the Tweeds also perform.

Lisa Brigantino performs Friday, April 8, 9 p.m. at Lovin’ Cup, 300 Park Point Drive. $3-$5. lovincup.com. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR DJ Ease. Hush Nightclub, 359 East Ave. 506-2851. 10 p.m.

CLASSICAL | Ad Hoc Copeland

How fitting that “Appalachian Spring” by American composer Aaron Copeland (1900-1990) should be performed just as the weather starts to warm. It’s being performed by Ad Hoc, a relative newcomer to the bustle of the Rochester classical scene.

Ad Hoc bills itself as an “ephemeral ensemble” whose members for any given concert consist of who is available. In fact, the rehearsals are open and posted to the group’s website to invite your participation. Here in Rochester, this formula might well prove an interesting success. The program is all Copeland, including also “The Tender Land,” so you are bound to feel the vast expanse of your spring fever. This will be a concert to enjoy alongside an art exhibit by Gretchen Spittler. Plus, it will be followed by pie — a veritable piece of Americana.

The concert takes place Friday, April 9, 7:30 p.m. at Christ Church, 141 East Ave. Free. adhoc-music.org.

J. Anthony Crane as Scar and Dionne Randolph as Mufasa in “Disney’s The Lion King,” now on stage at the Auditorium Theatre. PHOTO COURTESY ROCHESTER BROADWAY THEATRE LEAGUE

The pride, the love “Disney’s The Lion King” Through April 17 Rochester Broadway Theatre League Auditorium Theatre, 875 E Main St. $44.50-$139.50 | 800-745-3000, rbtl.org [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK

It’s interesting to experience the musicaltheater adaptation of Disney’s “The Lion King” — directed by Julie Taymor in 1997 — as the media sinks its teeth into Taymor’s newest project, Broadway’s “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.” The still-in-previews “Spider-Man” is being largely panned due to ambitious stunts that sometimes seriously injure cast members, uneven costumes and effects, and most important, a story that does not make a lick of sense. (Taymor parted ways with the production earlier this month, and a new writer and director have been brought in to overhaul the show.)

The exact opposite is true with “Lion King.”

More than a decade since its debut, it remains a stunning example of theatrical spectacle. Just about everything in the show works, from the story to the music (by Elton John and Tim Rice) to the choreography (by Rochester’s own Garth Fagan), and especially the spectacular Japanese-puppetry-influenced sets and costumes that fully realize Taymor’s vision. The cast and crew of the current touring production that Rochester Broadway Theatre League has 24 City april 6-12, 2011

brought in to the Auditorium Theatre do an amazing job bringing it all to life.

“Lion King” transposes the blockbuster 1994 animated film to the stage, with human actors portraying lions, hyenas, giraffes, birds, baboons, elephants, and all manner of other African creatures. The story is a take on “Hamlet,” as a young lion prince, Simba, is forced to wrestle with inner and outer demons after his evil uncle, Scar, murders Simba’s father and takes over the Pride Lands with his pack of hyena lackeys.

It’s odd to think of a stage show based on a cartoon as elegant and powerful, but that’s what “The Lion King” often achieves. Even the most jaded theatergoer has to be stunned by the first 10 minutes, featuring a bewildering procession of all manner of “beasts” (costumed actors and puppets) marching through the aisles as the stage itself “descends” through the clouds and African chanting and drums envelop the theater. That is a theater “moment,” and having never seen the show before (I missed it when it was here just a few years ago) it really did give me chills. The rest of the first act moves briskly and features several other spectacular set pieces and musical numbers, although the second act drags a bit. (I blame the repetitive jungle scenes, and unnecessary added scenes like the rescue of Timon.)

This production of “The Lion King” features an incredibly talented cast, from the leads to the members of the chorus — you know you have a fantastic ensemble when the singers in the aisle during the entr’acte have voices and personality to rival the lead actors. The dance crew lives up to Garth Fagan’s muscular, demanding

choreography (Fagan himself came out for a bow at the end of Thursday night’s show).

Stand-outs among the leads include Adam Jacobs as adult Simba, possessed of a bright, clear voice and an inescapable presence from the second he swings on to the stage. J. Anthony Crane rivals Jeremy Irons’ droll sarcasm as Scar, and his physicality makes the most of his outstanding costume; watch as he shifts to and from his mask at Scar’s most predatory moments.

Dionne Randolph infuses king Mufasa with his big, boastful voice and imposing presence, but is remarkably tender in his moments with Young Simba. And speaking of Young Simba, both of the young actors in the performance I attended — Dusan Brown as Simba and Madai Monica Williams as Young Nala — are amazingly talented actors, singers, and dancers with buckets of charm.

In terms of criticism, the Auditorium can sometimes have sound issues, and those crept up during Thursday’s performance. I had no trouble hearing Crane as Scar during his spoken lines, but he was very hard to hear during any of his musical numbers. The same was true for the hyenas, who were impossible to understand during their rock-oriented songs (literally the only words I could make out during “Chow Down” were the song’s title). And while Brenda Mhlongo was amazing as Rafiki for nearly the entire show, she got completely lost in the “Circle of Life” opening number. Lastly, while Simba’s sidekicks Timon and Pumbaa liven up the animated version of the story, here they drag the show down. I don’t think that’s the fault of actors; Nick Cordileone and Ben Lipitz do their best with the roles, especially in very tricky costumes. But the humor and energy of the characters just doesn’t translate as well on the stage.

Finally, some thoughts on Taymor. She’s being brutalized by the critics right now for her work on “Spider-Man,” but “Lion King” will remain a powerful reminder of what a true visual genius she is. Granted, I have not seen “Spider-Man,” and many of the concerns sound legitimate and make sense, given the gonzo nature of Taymor’s film work (especially the visually orgasmic but narratively baffling “Titus”). Perhaps “Lion King” was so early in her career that she was still testing her own limits; perhaps someone behind the scenes was helping to keep her focused. Perhaps that’s missing now, especially since she wrote the script for “Spider-Man.” But you cannot deny that Taymor has a brilliant grasp of totem, myth, and symbol, and when her work is at its best — as it is in “Lion King” — she creatively harnesses all of them to connect with her audiences on an almost primal level. Her latest project might have left her reputation bruised, but let’s not count — or push — her out just yet. Hers is a mind of pure creative expression, and we could use a little more of that in the arts and in the world.

DANCE | Noche De Unidad

The first time one of my adept-dancer friends tried dragging clumsy, slow-moving, little me out to a tapas and salsa night, I panicked. But I went anyway. The verdict: it takes a bit of work to learn, but it’s fun. I’m super uncoordinated, but no one cares. I found Latin dance enthusiasts so in love with their art that they are supportive to newbies; they want to grow their community and have more friends to dance and laugh with into the sweaty night.

Experienced dancers and the shy alike can take part this weekend in a regional dance event held locally. “Noche de Unidad — Rochester Style” brings together salsa enthusiasts from Rochester, Syracuse, Ithaca, and even Binghamton. The event will take place Saturday, April 9, at Tango Cafe in the South Wedge (389 Gregory St.). The event begins at 9 p.m., and wrap up about 1 a.m. You can expect DJs hailing from Central and Western New York to keep the tunes spinning, your heart racing, and your hips swaying. Admission is $5; dress to impress! Call 271-4390 or visit tangocafedance.com for more information. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Benefit Auction.

EXTRAVAGANZA

KIDS | Cool Kids EcoFest

It’s a good idea, in this era of sloth-based entertainment, to create an early association for kids between green initiatives and fun. In celebration of Earth Day, the sixth annual EcoFest and E-Scrap Drive takes place Saturday, April 9, 10 a.m.2 p.m. at Genesee Community College (1 College Road, Batavia). Inside the forum and cafeteria, the free event features more than 45 booths with make-it-and-take-it activities, games, a free pizza party at 12:30 p.m., and exotic animal visitors from Wildlife Educational Encounters at 1 p.m.

Events in the parking lot include a free tire-pressure checking station (you save on gas, oil, and tires when you’re at proper capacity), a free mercury switch-out station for your car with AAA, and displays of alternative energy cars, solar- and windpower displays, kites, geocaching, and the e-scrap drive. Items that you can bring along to recycle include old electronics (including old computers, printers, fax machines, cash registers, phones, stereos, microwaves, calculators, and more are free to donate, televisions are $5 to donate), old sneakers for the Nike-Reuse-A-Shoe program, and paperback books (no hardcovers or Harlequins, please).

was in charge of a bus company lost and found and would bring home keys, charms, jackknives, baubles, jewelry, and other forgotten items, which a young Carlson would use for creative repurposes.

Traveling down the hallway, you’ll encounter

“Vulture” by Gary Carlson, part of “Whimsical Art Trail” at the National Museum of Play. PHOTO PROVIDED

The art of play “Whimsical Art Trail” Through May 22 National Museum of Play, 1 Manhattan Square Mon-Thu 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Fri-Sat 10 a.m.8 p.m., Sun noon-5 p.m. | $10-$12 263-2700, museumofplay.org [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

It’s no secret that some of the most playful souls are artists, who in the pursuit of creation, never grow out of their imaginations. Through May 22, you can view inspired three-dimensional works of art by local creatives Gary Carlson, Raphaela McCormack, and Meredith Schreiber, on view throughout the National Museum of Play. “Whimsical Art” is a series of rotating, non-juried displays that offer local area artists an opportunity to showcase their playful creations at the National Museum of Play.

The museum has chosen artists perfectly matched to its mission, but the works might be ignored by children as they toddle about or tear away from their parents to run around like the free little beasts that they temporarily are. This museum is geared toward them, but this exhibit is mostly for the more attentive, strolling adults who are less prone to the distractions of the flashy and interactive toys and displays. After all, this is an art exhibit, and much like many of the more fragile holdings at the museum, the works are behind-glass touch-me-nots.

Museum staff will give you a useful map with

locations of art displays at the admissions 28 City april 6-12, 2011

desk, and away you go. You hit the first station right outside of the Super Kids Market, that famous and popular mini-Wegmans. Behind ropes, on pedestals, and mounted to the wall are four works of mixed-media sculpture, including Raphaela McCormack’s “Blue Moon” (handmade paper, pigment, driftwood, and fiber), which is a delicately crafted sailboat, more suited to float on a breeze than a wave, more dream-faring than sea-worthy. McCormack was born in western Ireland and her work is inspired by Ireland’s textures, colors, materials, and forms, she says in a provided statement. “I use pulp, fiber, rope, cord, driftwood, stones, seed pods, and other detritus. I create colors of lichen, the sky, and the earth.”

Also included on the first stop is Meredith Schreiber’s “Television Ro(bo)ts Your Brain,” a tall construction of a TV and other mixed materials to form an anthropomorphic and friendly-looking bot. Since childhood, Schreiber has retained a fascination “with the invention of creatures that don’t exist on this earth.

I’m enthralled by the weird and whimsical, anything that brings more wonder to this thing we call life,” she explains in a provided statement. Nearby is Gary Carlson’s “Vulture,” a simultaneously ominous and humorous beastbird with a soft-ball head, suit-jacket wings, and claws made of acrylic nails, and on the wall hangs his “Mastodon,” a mounted pachyderm head made of other amusing items. For the past 25 years Carlson has operated the Side Show Bar in Geneva, where about 30 of his works are displayed. “I can’t remember not being attracted to stuff, things, junk, odds and ends,” provides Carlson’s info card. His father

more of McCormack’s delicate vessels, and more of Schreiber’s silly ceramics can be found next to the bombastic “American Comic Books Heroes” exhibit, which tempted my play date away while I examined the latter artist’s “Ent Jar,” a tree fellow that might enjoy your cookies. Navigate through the comics exhibit and you’ll reach the last station of the first floor, just across from the Dancing Wings Butterfly Garden Shop, which holds McCormack’s “Sea Tern,” with wing-like driftwood jutting from the fore and aft of the vessel.

If you take the sweeping staircase up to the next level, your next stop is at the entrance to the “eGameRevolution” exhibit, and there you’ll find “Frank,” Schreiber’s simple robot bust with the details of a suit and tie and a charming slight underbite. Journeying on, I passed the “TimeLab,” complete with a psychedelic dance room, where a boogeying mom abruptly stopped jamming to Usher’s “Yeah,” suddenly (and unnecessarily) self-conscious.

I had trouble finding the last station — it holds three Carlson found-object sculptures — perhaps in part because I was distracted by the eerie avenues of hundreds of broken-down, vacantly staring dolls. But finally I spotted the modest case, across from the impressive antique Victorian dollhouses, which, cast in low lighting to aid in conservation efforts, are behind glass that superimposed my pallid reflection onto the wee domiciles. Turning away, I studied “Ballerina,” “Snapper,” and “Untitled,” all of which are smartly crafted from a few well-chosen objects that convey their subjects perfectly. Carlson’s patient eye and playful soul saw the turtle jaws in the bottle caps, and the galloping horse in the stove wood and roots.

Doubling back through the “eGames” area, I stumbled upon the library-quiet “Pastimes” gallery, which informally but heavily relates to the “Whimsical Art Trail” in that it celebrates playfulness and creativity in craftsmanship.

The exhibit includes examples of needlework, planting, woodworking, and more. The past few years have seen a resurgence in our culture’s focus on crafting and self-sufficiency, wellmade items being produced by small-output local businesses, and the drive to support them.

My fingers are crossed for a large-scale push against mass-production (even larger than the first Arts & Crafts movement during the Industrial Revolution). A sterile mind turns the world gray, utilitarian, and disposable; this exhibition of whimsical art may not be for hands-on play, but it does serve to inspire us to play as we create.

SPECIAL EVENTS | Native American Events

It’s easy to forget that New York is still home to nine Native American nations, and few of us are aware of the customs, languages, and experiences each nation has preserved and incorporated into their modern cultures. This week you can expand your understanding by enjoying artistic performances by Native Americans.

Friends of Ganondagan will offer you two unique opportunities to participate directly in a workshop with award-winning musician Arvel Bird, who is of Southern Paiute-Me’tis/Scottish descent. On Saturday, April 9, 1-3 p.m., Bird will present his “Animal Totems and Drumming Circle Workshop” at the Society of Friends Meetinghouse (84 Scio St.). Or you can catch his “Animal Totems and Flute Circle Workshop” Thursday, April 14, 7-9 p.m. at the same location. Each workshop will focus on how indigenous tribes used animal medicine or wisdom, and offer guided meditation through which individuals can learn to find and connect with their power animal, followed by a music circle to which participants are encouraged to bring their own instruments (percussion for April 9, flute for April 14). Tickets for each workshop are $35 for general admission, $20 for Friends of Ganondagan members, and $15 for students with ID. Preregistration is strongly encouraged. To register, or for more information, call 742-1690 or visit ganondagan.org/programs/ArvelBird.html.

On Wednesday, April 13, visit MCC’s Theatre (1000 E. Henrietta Drive) for “Experiencing the Richness of Native American Cultures.” The event begins at 6:30 p.m. with the Ganondagan Spirit Dancers performing Haudenosaunee social dances. At 7:30 p.m., author and historian, educator, and descendant of the Micmac people Evan Pritchard will present an educational multimedia show, followed by a book signing. The event is free, but tickets are required and available through monroecctickets.com. Parking is available in lot F. For more information, call 292-2534.

Also on April 13, at 12:45 p.m., Finger Lakes Community College will host the Piscataway Dancers at Stage 13 (3325 Marvin Sands Drive, Canandaigua).

But this weekend, scarves will keep your outsides toasty, and a chili dog and a local brewski will warm you on the inside while you catch the season home opener for the Rochester Red Wings on Saturday, April 9, at Frontier Field (333 N. Plymouth Ave.). The Wings play fellow North Division team Scranton-Wilkes Barre Yankees at 4:05 p.m. Tickets cost $6.50-$11.50, with discounts available for groups.

SPECIAL EVENT | Stars on Ice

My only experience with figure skating is a child’s vague awareness of the 1994 Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan scandal (I was 11), and the 2007 ridiculous comedy “Blades of Glory.”

But I’m also aware that figure skating is an enthralling and challenging sport, with a range of entertaining personalities to match those sequined scraps of clothing and religious-caliber followers. If you’re one of these devotees, you won’t want to miss the Smuckers “Stars on Ice” tour stop at Blue Cross Arena (1 War Memorial Square) on Thursday, April 7, at 7 p.m.

This year the show celebrates its 25th anniversary (it was founded in 1986 by skating icon Scott Hamilton) and is headlined by 2010 Olympic Gold Medalist Evan Lysacek and Olympic Silver Medalist Sasha Cohen. The cast of figure skating legends also includes a cast of international, awardwinning athletes, including Kurt Browning, Ekaterina Gordeeva, Todd Eldredge, Tanith Belbin, Benjamin Agosto, Joannie Rochette, and Michael Weiss.

For even more excitement, special on-ice seating is available upon request. Tickets are $25-$78 and are available through the arena box office, by calling 800-745-3000, or by visiting ticketmaster.com. A portion of proceeds will benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Propelled through the mysteries of time [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“Source Code” (PG-13), directed by Duncan Jones Now playing

Judging by such films as “Inception,” “Unknown,” “The Adjustment Bureau,” and now “Source Code,” the thriller in our time continues to undergo something of a metamorphosis. The form traditionally places an innocent individual in a dangerous situation, then sends him on the run toward some goal while also fleeing villainous pursuers, a double chase. Along the way the protagonist discovers talents and skills he was unaware that he possessed, and in

the process comes to understand more about himself and the world he inhabits.

Contrasting with those relatively straightforward plots, in the recent films, the protagonist indeed finds himself in a perilous situation, menaced by forces whose existence he had never suspected, but his particular predicament and the character of his enemies raise questions about his own identity and the nature of reality itself. “Source Code” examines the ancient philosophical incertitudes concerning the existence of the physical world, a hefty subject for a genre dedicated to action, speed, violence, and excitement.

The picture opens with a helicopter pilot, Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal), suddenly awakening in a Chicago commuter train, in the middle of a conversation with a young woman, Christina Warren (Michelle Monaghan), whom he’s never seen before. She calls him Sean and alludes to previous matters they’ve talked about; when he bolts to the restroom to escape

the confusion, he sees a strange face in the mirror. Before he can begin to figure out the situation, a bomb explodes, tearing the railroad car apart, somehow propelling Colter to another awakening, in a metal container where he communicates with a Captain Goodwin (Vera Farmiga) through a television monitor.

She and her boss, Dr. Rutledge (Jeffrey Wright), inform Colter that they are conducting an exercise called Source Code, in which for the span of eight minutes they place him in the body of another man who exactly matches his physical characteristics. They need to keep sending him back for eight-minute visits so that he can find the bomb and identify the bomber, who plans the train explosion as a diversion so that he can detonate a nuclear device in the middle of downtown Chicago, killing thousands of people.

The two scientists explain Colter’s experience as a combination of quantum mechanics and the brain’s ability to produce energy for eight minutes after death, a bizarre nexus of arcana guaranteed to confound both physicists and neurosurgeons — why not bring in string theory and the Big Bang? Since Jeffrey Wright hurries through his mumbled response as if he doubted it himself, the basic premise of the movie never approaches any acceptable level of credibility.

Despite that ridiculous nonsense, most of the rest of the picture at least achieves the kind of excitement that its form demands. Colter returns over and over to the railroad car, where the

“Win Win” (R), written and directed by Tom McCarthy Opens Friday

events of “Source Code” repeat themselves like a twisted version of “Groundhog Day,” accumulating significance as he seeks to locate the bomb and the bomber and learns more about himself and his situation. A genuine mystery develops as he suspects one or another person in the closed community of the train and attempts a variety of ploys, including physical attacks, to nail the culprit.

Along the way, Colter discovers that the scientists who manipulate his actions follow a different agenda from his own; they need to prevent the major detonation, but care nothing about the train passengers. Rutledge tells him that they do not change events or create time travel; instead, they “reassign” time, whatever that means, but Colter resolves to thwart both their plan and the bomber’s.

The process of Colter’s investigation of the mystery follows a reasonably logical and generally engaging course, not all that different from a classic detective story, and his frantic attempts to accomplish his mission in the face of numerous obstacles quite adequately heighten the suspense.

As he comes to understand the world around him and his place in it, some difficult emotional elements add a further dimension to the surface excitement of the thriller plot. The absurdly complicated and essentially preposterous basis of the whole movie and its ambiguous conclusions sabotage its odd combination of mystery, thriller, and science fiction, so that it finally seems both sentimental and very, very silly.

The best bosses are the ones who can do your job as good as — if not better — than you can, and this also holds true when an ambitious actor finally steps behind the camera to direct. Successful changelings such as Clint Eastwood, Ben Stiller, and, yes, even Mel Gibson typically have a perspective that their non-thespian peers lack, enabling them to better commiserate with the emotional demands of acting. Three movies into his own filmmaking career, busy character player Tom McCarthy (remember him as the sleazy reporter in Season 5 of “The Wire”?) has cemented his status as an actor’s director. Films like 2003’s “The Station Agent” and 2007’s “The Visitor” haven’t been about what he’s able to do on his side of the lens; McCarthy seems less concerned with show-offy technique than he is letting story unfold organically,

trusting that there’s drama to be found everywhere.

McCarthy’s latest is “Win Win,” a bittersweet slice-of-life that tackles some surprisingly thorny ethical quandaries with a refreshing amount of honesty. Paul Giamatti relies upon his essential Giamatti-ness (read: decency + irritability) to star as Mike Flaherty, a part-time wrestling coach and full-time lawyer in suburban New Jersey whose current issues include a noisy boiler, a talent-free team, financial woes, and an elderly client in the early stages of Alzheimer’s with no reachable family.

But as the boiler clangs away, Mike hits upon somewhat of a solution to his money problems by getting himself appointed guardian to Leo (the wily Burt Young, best known as Paulie from “Rocky”) and pocketing the $1,500 per month allotted for his care at home, instead letting the old man believe that his new residence, in an eldercare facility, was court-ordered.

We can practically see the gears turn as Mike ignores his conscience, and we’re positive that his no-nonsense wife, Jackie (Oscar nominee Amy Ryan, “Gone Baby Gone”), would kill him if she ever found out. As it is she’s none too thrilled about the recent arrival of Kyle (Alex Shaffer), Leo’s teenage grandson who has put both Ohio and his drug-addict mother in the rearview mirror. His sullen monotone masking thoughtful observation rather than clichéd angsty rebellion, Kyle gradually becomes part of Mike’s family, a situation aided greatly by the fact that this tattooed smoker is also a very gifted wrestler. So it’s “Win Win” for Mike, who watches both his cash flow and team improve, while best friend Terry (the ever-charming Bobby Cannavale, “The Other Guys”) and assistant coach

Vigman (a sweetly sour Jeffrey Tambor) live vicariously through Kyle’s victories.

But they say the essence of drama is conflict, so it’s only a matter of time before it all blows up in Mike’s face, and at a cost far greater than mere money.

The wise script by McCarthy (fun fact: he also co-wrote Pixar’s lovely “Up”) follows the M.O. of his previous films, which finds makeshift families forming from circumstance rather than blood, with all the complications inherent to the proverbial bonds of water. Visually unremarkable, the film does have some flaws that are impossible to overlook; the female characters, especially Kyle’s troubled mom (Kiwi Melanie Lynskey, a long way from her 1994 breakthrough “Heavenly Creatures”), are sadly onedimensional and the ending is way too tidy. But McCarthy doesn’t shy away from the uglier aspects of being human, namely our basic desire to be good often bested by temptation and opportunity.

“Win Win”... um... wins, however, thanks to this talented cast, full of hardworking journeymen and -women who’ve been honing their craft on the margins on stardom. It’s slightly jarring to see Giamatti playing a normal husband and father, but what’s not shocking is the warm empathy he brings to the role of a man whose selfserving choices compromise his family.

And though he’s paired beautifully with Ryan as the feisty, devoted Jackie, Giamatti’s most entertaining scenes are with the reliably hilarious Cannavale, a generous bit player trapped in the body of a charismatic leading man. As Alex, Shaffer more than holds his own in his film debut; a former high-school wrestler himself, he smartly underplays his pivotal role, having faith that all that the quiet teen doesn’t say will eventually be heard loud and clear.

THE TAKING OF PELHAM 1-2-3 Thursday, April 7, 8 p.m.

As if the New York subway system and a group of visiting Japanese dignitaries weren’t enough to juggle before lunch, transit cop Walter Matthau learns that a group of crooks led by Robert Shaw has hijacked a train, demanding a $1 million ransom.

Matthau’s wisecracks mesh beautifully with the action set pieces and the sense of resilience and scrappy community in the face of New York’s pervasive cruddiness.

Beauty and Economy in Beechwood

51 Vermont Street

It makes sense, especially in hard economic times, to consider carefully what you get for your money. Commuting costs can count against some areas; buying an older home is often more economical when commuting is factored in, and can in other ways be a greener option--reduce, reuse, recycle, remember?

What’s more, older homes can offer materials and details too expensive for new construction.

51 Vermont Street in the Beechwood neighborhood offers all this value, efficiency, and the best of yesteryear. Vermont is a quiet residential street off Culver Road, near Merchants; it is close to shopping and the expressway, and is a short trip by car or bus to downtown and the University, East, Park, and Monroe cultural and commercial districts.

Built in 1916, 51 Vermont Street has all the fine details of that era: hardwood floors and trim, a beamed ceiling in the large dining room, fireplace, leaded glass windows, porches. The house also offers some pleasant surprises: the original beveled glass front door, and gorgeous leaded glass pocket doors. These pocket doors offer not only beauty but close off the living room from the stairway, conserving the heat or air conditioning.

(A French door in the entry accomplishes the same green goal!) There is not only a full front porch—which allows enjoyment of the wide tree lawns, gardens, and architecture of the neighborhood—but also an upstairs enclosed porch overlooking the backyard. This delightful porch is an

inviting spot for morning coffee, and an enticing place for children to play.

All four bedrooms have ample closets and ceiling fans; the leaded glass windows on the stairs light up the hardwood floors and trim in the upstairs hall, which features a linen closet and handy laundry chute. Upstairs also is a full bath (there’s a half bath on the main floor). The attic provides ample storage space, but there is also a huge bonus room--recently a teen’s carpeted, private domain.

There is also a finished basement, highceilinged and dry, with a second kitchen ideal for entertaining, or for putting up preserves during hot summers. There’s a fenced backyard made private by mature plantings, with bulbs already blooming. The property also features a two-car detached garage.

This house also features a new tear-off roof, garage roof, furnace, and water heater; central air, fresh paint, and some thermal windows.

To see this spacious, gracious, and economical house, please call Vanessa Machado at Anointed Realty, 585-509-1271. Asking price is $112,000. For more information an photos, go to http://rochestercityliving.com/property/R133449.
