Tax myths and tall tales As millions of Americans prepare to file their annual taxes, they do so in an environment of mediaperpetuated tax myths.

For three decades we have conducted a massive economic experiment, testing a theory known as supply-side economics. The theory goes like this: Lower tax rates will encourage more investment, which in turn will mean more jobs and greater prosperity — so much so that tax revenues will go up, despite lower rates.

For the past decade, we have doubled down on this theory with the tax cuts sponsored by President

George W. Bush in 2001 and 2003, which President Obama has agreed to continue for two years.

You would think that whether this grand experiment worked would be settled after three decades. You would think the practitioners of the dismal science of economics would look at their demand curves and the data on incomes and taxes and pronounce a verdict.

The Mad Men who once ran campaigns featuring doctors extolling the health benefits of smoking are now busy marketing the dogma that tax cuts mean broad prosperity, no matter what the facts show.

Brizard’s leaving would help, not hurt

Regarding Mary Anna Towler’s April 6 blog, “The risks of forcing out Jean-Claude Brizard”: I’ve heard many arguments about Brizard’s reforms and what will supposedly happen if he leaves.

There are several glaring inaccuracies in your argument that require scrutiny.

You state, “Brizard makes an attractive candidate, so it wouldn’t be a surprise that other districts would take a look at him.” Brizard has been considered elsewhere without a critical analysis of his accomplishments in Rochester. As our community’s frustration with Brizard builds, people in Rochester have identified Brizard as an unwanted liability, not an asset.

School Board members value Brizard’s public-relation skills more than his actual initiatives and accomplishments.

You state, “What do we want, a superintendent with such a lackluster reputation that he’s not on anybody’s radar?” Our choice is not between a lackluster superintendent and a “rising rock star” with an ill-advised corporate-reform agenda filled with spin and deception.

Conversations surrounding teacher evaluation will still occur, regardless of whether Brizard is present or not. A more progressive, competent leader will work together with teachers instead of forcing an unsound vision upon us. Sound educational research does not support the notion that teacher evaluation, pay, or job security should be based on highstakes standardized test scores advocated by Brizard and his Broad Foundation colleagues.

Mayoral control advocates, that you also ultimately supported, will take the opportunity to point out the current School Board’s incompetence. Part of the current School Board’s incompetence is their failure to address Brizard and hold him accountable. A truly responsible School Board should dismiss him and begin a search within our district

for a more responsible, progressive leader who matches student, parent, and grassroots community needs. Your Machiavellian argument incites fear that when our community stands up in solidarity to reject Brizard’s agenda, we will aid the push for mayoral control.

Our School Board has frequently shielded Brizard from true transparency and ultimate accountability. I’m not sure what a board that supports him more vocally would look like, but it would not be in the best interest of the community to continue in this undemocratic direction.

Finally, I suggest you visit grassroots parents and community members to ask what we think about Brizard. You would learn firsthand that our community has legitimate and serious doubts about the worth of Brizard’s staying, especially given the events of the last few months.

Instilling fear that Brizard’s departure will slow needed reforms and hurt the community and our students is not constructive, and doesn’t move us closer to educational excellence.

Paying for war

Each year, the Friends Committee on National Legislation publishes an analysis of where federal taxes go. This year, fully 39 percent of the federal budget is being spent on past and current wars and on preparation for war.

As a pacifist, I want to pay for the important things that the federal government does, but I increasingly feel the weight of contributing to the harm not only of those with whom we are in conflict but also of the young people who fight and who must pay for the growing burden of war in the future. I will pay my taxes under protest this year, and urge others who are similarly troubled to do so as well.

In addition, they may write their federal representatives to support the Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund Bill (H.R.1191), sponsored by Georgia Representative John Lewis, which would establish a segregated fund used for peaceful purposes to which COs could designate their taxes.

Obama provides more of the same

I thought it would be different with Barack Obama, that he would restore our reputation and make us an honorable country again. My brother Kevin told me I was wrong, that a vote for Obama was a vote for more of the same. I didn’t believe him.

So here we are, 29 months later, and my brother was right.

It has been more of the same: more of the Patriot Act, more of Guantanamo, more decisions based on special interests, more of the rich getting richer, and more war. Always more war.

It doesn’t seem to matter who’s in charge; we’re always in a state of war. We pay some attention to the financial cost, and when Americans lose their lives, we mourn, but otherwise we accept this as normal.

Americans are generally good people, so the government spends a considerable amount of energy convincing us that war is necessary. Government leaders have lied (“weapons of mass destruction”), blasphemed (“God told me to invade Iraq”), and incited (Muslims = terrorists), all with good success.

They sell the wars with catchy slogans. We are not at war, we’re engaged in “operations”: Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Odyssey Dawn. (Odyssey Dawn? It sounds like a shampoo.)

And the government supplies altruistic explanations about “helping” the people (helping them become free, helping them become a democracy, saving them from a murderous dictator, helping them fight terrorism). The fact is that over the past several years, we have “helped” hundreds of thousands into an early grave.

Given that this goes on no matter whom we elect, my only hope is that someday we will elect a president who will at least tell the world what we are really doing: “We are fighting because we want cheap gas.” “We will only remove the demonic leaders who are not our friends.” “We are going to kill thousands of innocent civilians.”

I’d be cautious if I were a country in need of help and the US offered assistance. Japan, I know you’re hurting, but be careful. Those troublesome nuclear reactors look like pretty inviting targets from the air.

Audits, management, and Rochester’s schools The Rochester school district didn’t need additional bad news, but the Democrat and Chronicle’s recent Freedom of Information persistence generated still more.

Twenty-three audits — conducted by the district’s own Office of Auditor General and released to the public only after the D&C and community activists insisted on it — shine a light on problems throughout the district’s administrative operations. Each audit addresses a specific area of the district — transportation, payroll, adult education, invoice payments, supplies, personnel, information technology, counselors — and together, they show a district that has lacked basic procedures, training, and oversight.

This kind of thing isn’t as sexy as, say, an audit showing that an employee walked off with a million dollars in district funds. And it’s one step removed, sort of, from the district’s biggest challenge, educating children.

But the departments reviewed in the audits help form the framework of the system that provides the education: that gets our children to school and back safely, pays the teachers, orders and pays for school supplies, keeps tracks of student attendance and grades, keeps track of employees’ benefits. And two days of reading the 485 pages of audits left me with my head in my hands.

What a mess.

It’s important to point out that not all of these audits are recent. The oldest eight were completed in 2008; five more were completed in 2009 and 10 more in 2010. And it would be quite a stretch to assume that the reports are an indictment of Jean-Claude Brizard, who became superintendent early in 2008. Given how widespread the problems are, clearly they have developed over years. The behavior and the laxity have become part of the district’s culture.

The school district undergoes numerous audits, by federal officials, by state officials, by outside budget auditors. After an embezzlement scandal in a Long Island school district, the New York comptroller’s office began auditing school districts around the state every five years. And it required individual districts to have their own audits done.

The Rochester district set up its own internal department to do the audits in 2006, with the auditor reporting to the School Board, not to the superintendent. Some of these 23 audits were done specifically at Brizard’s request, he says, for areas in which he had his own concerns.

The public needs to know whether the school district is dealing with its problems adequately or not.”

Brizard says he has viewed the audits as “formative” documents, to identify problems and help the district correct them.

It’s this view that led the district to initially try to keep much of the audit information out of public view. Brizard says he’s worried that if every word of every audit becomes public, auditors will start “sanitizing” them, and he wants them to be as specific as possible, so the district can make the improvements it needs to make.

But newspapers don’t push for such material to become public so that they can humiliate district employees. It’s part of our role of holding government accountable.

If the information doesn’t become public, the public is left to trust that the district has identified serious problems — and that it’s doing something about them.

The audits identified a wearying list of

problems — so many, in so many basic, common-sense areas, that it makes you wonder what it would take to fix them — and how long it would take. A culture of nonchalance seems to have pervaded nearly every area of the district’s administration.

Here are just a few of the problems (you can read the 23 audits on our website): From some of the 2008 audits: The people who participated in developing the budget — including principals, continues on page 6 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Monroe County’s growth spurts The 2010 Census report shows how Monroe County’s population has grown and shifted in the last decade.

That’s important, but for local governments and regional planners it’s also important to be able to project future population trends.

Population shifts and growth play a role in planning decisions made by governments and regional planning agencies such as the Genesee Transportation Council.

For example, the data can help governments prioritize road and bridge projects. Income-level shifts can affect eligibility for federal housing and block-grant programs,

Celebrate our new Park Avenue Location!

says Monroe County spokesperson Noah Lebowitz.

And Monroe County’s population is shifting, even in terms of two of its fastest-growing communities, Webster and Henrietta.

Population-wise, Webster grew more in the past decade than any town in the county. But its growth is slowing while Henrietta’s growth is picking up.

Between 1990 and 2010, Webster’s population grew from 31,639 to 42,641 residents. It increased 20 percent in the first decade, but only 12 percent between 2000 and 2010. Henrietta’s population increased from 36,376

in 1990 to 42,581 in 2010. Between 1990 and 2000, it grew 7 percent, and the growth rate picked up to 9 percent between 2000 and 2010.

Henrietta also issued more residential building permits than Webster each year since at least 2006.

According to Monroe County’s land-use reports, between 2006 and 2009 Henrietta issued 617 permits to Webster’s 479. And a Rochester Homebuilders Association report released last year showed that Henrietta had issued more than 100 residential building permits from January through September. Webster, in that same period, issued 54 permits.

The last long-term water-sharing deal expired in 2008 and the city and county have agreed to oneyear extensions since. While negotiations were going on, then Deputy Mayor Tom Richards said that the two sides were discussing transferring the city’s water system to the Water Authority. But now officials say a merger doesn’t make financial sense.

Water merger a no go

UR buys Block F

City and Monroe County Water Authority officials have come to a new water-sharing agreement, but a consolidation or merger isn’t part of it.

The new, 25-year agreement announced last week still needs to be approved by City Council and the Water Authority’s board. It sets a fixed price on water exchanges between the city and county systems, and is basically a longterm extension of the previous agreement.

There are some differences, however.

Under the new deal, the authority will help pay for a project to line and cover the city’s Rush reservoir. The city Water Bureau will, in turn, help pay for some work on valves at the Shoremont plant.

The last long-term deal expired in 2008 and the two bodies have agreed to one-year extensions since. While negotiations were going on, then Deputy Mayor Tom Richards said that the two sides were discussing transferring the city’s water system to the Water Authority.

The possibility of a merger worried environmentalists. They feared that if the city transferred Hemlock and Canadice Lakes to the authority along with the city system, that the authority might sell the surrounding land to developers. The state purchased those lands for permanent preservation, which ended that concern.

The city and county water systems will remain separate for now. Photo by MAX SEIFERT

Still, there’s no merger for now. The two sides examined multiple consolidation possibilities, says Nick Noce, interim director of the Monroe County Water Authority.

“It just did not make sense financially for the city and the Water Authority,” says Robert Morrison, director of the city’s Water Bureau.

Even under a merger, he says, the city Water Bureau staff would have to remain in place. And the bureau earns $7 million a year for the city, he says, which goes in the general fund.

None of this is to say that a merger isn’t possible in the future. Under the new agreement, the city and the MCWA will form a joint operations committee, which Morrison and Noce say would discuss consolidation if the time came.

The Cultural Center Commission has approved the sale of a prime downtown piece of real estate known as Block F to the University of Rochester for $640,000.

The 1.5-acre site at 420 East Main Street, located across the street from the Eastman School of Music, is currently being used as a parking lot. It is the former site of the Rascal Café and has long been considered critically important to the redevelopment of downtown. | The UR intends to develop the land in partnership with a private developer, similar to its plans for developing the area on Mt. Hope Avenue between Elmwood Avenue and Crittenden Boulevard, said Ronald Paprocki in a written statement.

Paprocki is a senior vice president with the UR. Those plans call for a mix of retail space and offices. | The sale is still dependent on approvals by City Council and the County Legislature. If approved, the UR would pay property taxes based on the assessed value of the parking lot, which would remain in operation for a limited time. The university would have five years in which to undertake a development project.

Rochester’s schools continues from page 3

department heads, and grant monitors — were poorly trained. When the budget office made changes to the budget, it didn’t always let the affected principals know about it. The district didn’t adequately track employee benefits or absences.

Controls for the accounts-payable department were “generally lacking,” and there was “inadequate oversight” of the staff.

Accounts-payable reports weren’t reviewed and analyzed. Some checks to vendors were printed before the payment had been authorized. Invoices were sometimes paid late, causing the district to miss out on discounts — and, in some cases, to be turned over to a collection agency.

The district didn’t have a procedure for making sure it had the correct information from vendors — name, address, federal tax identification. It didn’t have written policies for evaluating the lowest bidder on a capital project.

Previous poor work by a bidder didn’t affect getting a new contract.

Also from the 2008 audits: The district gets state “Contract for Excellence” funds designed for specific uses: to reduce class size, for instance, and for pre-kindergarten and full-day kindergarten programs. But the district wasn’t able to monitor class sizes and couldn’t document that it was spending the money properly. And it used the state funds to pay for some teachers who weren’t at all involved in Contract for Excellence work.

From the 2009 audits: The district had no guidelines for monitoring student attendance, no deadlines for teachers to record attendance, and there was little accountability. Teachers could enter attendance records into the district’s central computer system for an entire year at one time. In high school, students could be present for a single class, skip the others, and be marked present for the full day.

The transportation audit found that the district didn’t perform drug and alcohol tests on drivers during the summer, even though it transports students then. It let drivers drive before it got the results of fingerprint tests. It didn’t adequately monitor fuel usage for district vehicles. It didn’t monitor contractors’ bills and was paying some contractors for students they weren’t serving, and for miles they weren’t driving.

From the 2010 audits: The district didn’t have consistent standards for grading students, so grade-point averages varied from school to school. It didn’t consistently document the enrollment of district students in charter schools and sometimes paid charter schools

for students who weren’t city residents.

It didn’t have standards for buying information technology to make sure that it was compatible with the district’s existing infrastructure.

There wasn’t a good procedure for getting information about “seat capacity” — how much room there was in a grade or class, and how many students could enroll — and there was no process for identifying when students had dropped a class or left a school.

The district’s Medicaid report wasn’t well documented and could be inaccurate, which could result in some claims being denied.

These kinds of problems don’t develop

overnight. They’re the result of years of poor training, poor oversight, inadequate procedures, and either low expectations or lack of knowledge about proper administration and leadership.

Most discouraging to me was how basic some of this stuff is. Didn’t district administrators know this kind of thing wasn’t acceptable?

“This happens in large organizations,” Brizard said when I talked to him late last week. “People get caught up in their daily routines. They keep doing things the way they’ve been doing them.” Or, he said, they find new ways to do their job, not understanding the need for standard operating procedures or for letting supervisors know when they’ve started doing things differently.

“It’s not the fault of the rank and file,” Brizard said. “Certainly it’s the fault of the leadership.”

The question, of course, is this, then: What’s the district doing about it?

Brizard says that the district has put “more processes in place” in the last three and a half years, that it has been rewriting manuals and putting in place a standard operating procedures manual. It has been training people, and targeting areas that need stronger leadership.

While a superintendent of a district Rochester’s size can’t personally oversee every department to insure that problems are being corrected, Brizard says he meets four or five times a week with the key administrators who supervise the lower levels of district management.

Is the district simply too big? “Oh, no,” Brizard said. “It’s very manageable.”

Does it require more staff, then? Or better staff?

“I don’t think more is the solution,” Brizard said. “You can have too many people. You need fewer people who are better

trained. But we have a number of amazing people in the district.”

I think that Brizard’s right, that the district isn’t too big and that with the proper procedures, the proper training, the proper oversight — the proper expectations, the proper leadership — the district can correct all of this. But the public needs to know whether the district is dealing with its problems adequately or not. We wouldn’t even know that there were these problems had the D&C not pushed for the audits.

The audits have become public at a difficult time, with the district rocked by a major — and disputed — budget gap, proposed staff cuts, and dissension between the superintendent and the teachers. And there are mounting questions about whether Brizard will stay in Rochester.

Obviously, the problems identified in the audit have to be fixed, and fixing won’t be fast or easy. But if the district has taken strong steps toward correcting them, it should start citing specifics. Did the auditors go back and review what the district has done? What did they find?

If Brizard is the strong administrator we think he is, he should have a positive story to tell — one that, coupled with rising graduation rates, would form a record of administrative quality.

And if the problems aren’t being corrected?

This is serious stuff. The problems laid out in the audit affect important operations of the school district. They affect children and staff. And they affect the district’s reputation.

If the school district can’t do a good job at the simple stuff — controlling paychecks, making sure that bus drivers aren’t driving drunk, that we aren’t paying bills for services or supplies that we didn’t get, that attendance records and invoice payments are correct — how can we trust it to do the really hard stuff?

It’s a positive thing that the district has looked for problems and found them. The most important thing the superintendent and the School Board can do now is tell the public what the district is doing — and what it has done — to correct them.

COVER STORY | BY DAVID CAY JOHNSTON

Tax myths and tall tales For three decades we have conducted a massive economic experiment, testing a theory known as supply-side economics.

The theory goes like this: Lower tax rates will encourage more investment, which in turn will mean more jobs and greater prosperity — so much so that tax revenues will go up, despite lower rates.

The late Milton Friedman, the libertarian economist who wanted to shut down public parks because he considered them socialism, promoted this strategy. Ronald Reagan embraced Friedman’s ideas and made them into policy when he was elected president in 1980.

For the past decade, we have doubled down on this theory of supply-side economics with the tax cuts sponsored by President George W. Bush in 2001 and 2003, which President Obama has agreed to continue for two years.

You would think that whether this grand experiment worked would be settled after three decades. You would think the practitioners of the dismal science of economics would look at their demand curves and the data on incomes and taxes and pronounce a verdict, the way Galileo and Copernicus did when they showed that geocentrism was a fantasy because Earth revolves around the sun (known as heliocentrism). But economics is not like that. It is not like physics with its laws and arithmetic with its absolute values.

Tax policy is something the Framers left to politics. And in politics, the facts often matter less than who has the biggest bullhorn.

The Mad Men who once ran campaigns featuring doctors extolling the health benefits of smoking are now busy marketing the dogma that tax cuts mean broad prosperity, no matter what the facts show.

As millions of Americans prepare to file their annual taxes, they do so in an environment of media-perpetuated tax myths. Here are a few points about taxes and the economy that you may not know, to consider as you prepare to file your taxes. (All figures are inflation adjusted.)

1

Poor Americans do pay taxes.

Gretchen Carlson, the Fox News host, said last year that “47 percent of Americans don’t pay any taxes.” John McCain and Sarah Palin both said similar things during the 2008 campaign about the bottom half of Americans.

Ari Fleischer, the former Bush White House spokesperson, once said “50 percent of the country gets benefits without paying for them.”

Actually, they pay lots of taxes — just not lots of federal income taxes.

Data from the Tax Foundation shows that in 2008, the average income for the bottom half of taxpayers was $15,300.

Former New York Times reporter David Cay Johnston is a columnist for tax.com and teaches the tax, property and regulatory law of the ancient world at Syracuse University College of Law and Whitman School of Management. Later this year, Johnston will be out with a new book, “The Fine Print,” revealing how big business, with help from politicians, abuses plain English to rob you blind. Johnston received a 2001 Pulitzer Prize for exposing tax loopholes and inequities.

april 13-19, 2011

This year the first $9,350 of income is exempt from taxes for singles and $18,700 for married couples, just slightly more than in 2008. That means millions of the poor do not make enough to owe income taxes.

But they still pay plenty of other taxes, including federal payroll taxes. Between gas taxes, sales taxes, utility taxes, and other taxes, no one lives tax free in America.

When it comes to state and local taxes, the poor bear a heavier burden than the rich in every state except Vermont, the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy calculated from official data. In Alabama, for example, the burden on the poor is more than twice that of the top 1 percent. The one-fifth of Alabama families making less than $13,000 pay almost 11 percent of their income in state and local taxes, compared with less than 4 percent for those who make $229,000 or more.

2

The wealthiest Americans don’t carry the burden.

That the wealthy carry the tax burden is one of those oft-used canards. Senator Rand Paul, the Tea Party favorite from Kentucky, told David Letterman recently that “the wealthy do pay most of the taxes in this country.”

The Internet is awash with statements that the top 1 percent pays, depending on the year, 38 percent or more than 40 percent of taxes.

It’s true that the top 1 percent of wage earners paid 38 percent of the federal income taxes in 2008 (the most recent year for which data is available). But people forget that the income tax is less than half of federal taxes and only one-fifth of taxes at all levels of government.

Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance taxes (known as payroll taxes) are paid mostly by the bottom

90 percent of wage earners. That’s because once you reach $106,800 of income, you pay no more for Social Security, though the much smaller Medicare tax applies to all wages. Warren Buffett pays the exact same amount of Social Security taxes as someone who earns $106,800.

3

In fact, the wealthy are paying less taxes.

The Internal Revenue Service issues an annual report on the 400 highest-income taxpayers. In 1961, there were 398 taxpayers who made $1 million or more, so I compared their income tax burdens from that year to 2007.

Despite skyrocketing incomes, the federal tax burden on the richest 400 has been slashed, thanks to a variety of loopholes, allowable deductions, and other tools. The actual share of their income paid in taxes, according to the IRS, is 16.6 percent. Adding payroll taxes barely nudges that number.

Compare that to the vast majority of Americans, whose share of their income going to federal taxes increased from 13.1 percent in 1961 to 22.5 percent in 2007.

By the way, during seven of the eight Bush years, the IRS report on the top 400 taxpayers was labeled a state secret, a policy that Obama overturned almost instantly after his inauguration.

Many of the very richest pay no current income taxes at all.

John Paulson, the most successful hedgefund manager of all, bet against the mortgage market one year and then bet with Glenn Beck in the gold market the next. Paulson made himself $9 billion in fees in just two years. His current tax bill on that $9 billion? Zero.

Congress lets hedge-fund managers earn all they can now and pay their taxes years from now.

In 2007, Congress debated whether hedge-fund managers should pay the top tax rate that applies to wages, bonuses, and other compensation for their labors, which is 35 percent. That tax rate starts at about $300,000 of taxable income: not even pocket change to Paulson, but almost 12 years of gross pay to the median-wage worker.

The Republicans and a key Democrat, Senator Charles Schumer of New York, fought to keep the tax rate on hedgefund managers at 15 percent, arguing that the profits from hedge funds should be considered capital gains, not ordinary income, which got a lot of attention in the news.

What the news media missed is that hedge-fund managers don’t even pay 15 percent. At least, not currently. So long as they leave their money, known as “carried interest,” in the hedge fund, their taxes are deferred. They only pay taxes when they cash out, which could be decades from now for younger managers. How do these hedge-fund managers get money in the meantime? By borrowing against the carried interest, often at absurdly low rates — currently about 2 percent.

Lots of other people live tax-free, too.

I have Donald Trump’s tax records for four years early in his career. He paid no taxes for two of those years. Big real-estate investors enjoy tax-free living under a 1993 law President Clinton signed. It lets “professional” real-estate investors use paper losses like depreciation on their buildings against any cash income, even if they end up with negative incomes like Trump.

Frank and Jamie McCourt, who own the Los Angeles Dodgers, have not paid any income taxes since at least 2004, their divorce case revealed. Yet they spent $45 million one year alone. How? They just borrowed against Dodger ticket revenue

and other assets. To the IRS, they look like paupers.

In Wisconsin, Terrence Wall, who unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for US Senate in 2010, paid no income taxes on as much as $14 million of recent income, his disclosure forms showed. Asked about his living taxfree while working people pay taxes, he had a simple response: everyone should pay less.

And (surprise!) since Reagan, only the wealthy have gained significant income.

The Heritage Foundation, the Cato Institute, and similar conservative marketing organizations tell us relentlessly that lower tax rates will make us all better off.

“When tax rates are reduced, the economy’s growth rate improves and living standards increase,” according to Daniel J. Mitchell, an economist at Heritage until he joined Cato. He says that supply-side economics is “the simple notion that lower tax rates will boost work, saving, investment, and entrepreneurship.”

When Reagan was elected president, the marginal tax rate for income was 70 percent. He cut it to 50 percent and then 28 percent starting in 1987. It was raised

by George H.W. Bush and Clinton and then cut by George W. Bush. The top rate is now 35 percent.

Since 1980, when Reagan won election promising prosperity through tax cuts, the average income of the vast majority — the bottom 90 percent of Americans — has increased a meager $303, or 1 percent. Put another way, for each dollar people in the vast majority made in 1980, in 2008 their income was up to $1.01.

Those at the top did better. The top 1 percent’s average income more than doubled to $1.1 million, according to an continues on page 10

TAX MYTHS AND TALL TALES analysis of tax data by economists Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez. The really rich, the top 10th of 1 percent, each enjoyed almost $4 in 2008 for each dollar in 1980.

The top 300,000 Americans now enjoy almost as much income as the bottom 150 million, the data show.

6

When it comes to corporations, the story is much the same — less taxes.

Corporate profits in 2008, the latest year for which data is available, were $1,830 billion, up almost 12 percent from $1,638.7 in 2000. Yet, even though corporate tax rates have not been cut, corporate income-tax revenues fell to $230 billion from $249 billion — an 8 percent decline, thanks to a number of loopholes.

The official 2010 profit numbers are not added up and released by the government, but the amount paid in corporate taxes is: in 2010 they fell further, to $191 billion — a decline of more than 23 percent compared with 2000.

7

Some corporate tax breaks destroy jobs.

Despite all the noise that America has the world’s second-highest corporate tax rate, the actual taxes paid by corporations are falling because of the growing number of loopholes and companies shifting profits to tax havens like the Cayman Islands.

And right now America’s corporations are sitting on close to $2 trillion in cash that is not being used to build factories, create jobs, or anything else, but act as an insurance policy for managers unwilling to take the

risk of actually building the businesses they are paid so well to run. That cash hoard, by the way, works out to nearly $13,000 per taxpaying household.

A corporate tax rate that is too low actually destroys jobs. That’s because a higher tax rate encourages businesses (who don’t want to pay taxes) to keep the profits in the business and reinvest, rather than pull them out as profits and have to pay high taxes.

The 2004 American Jobs Creation Act, which passed with bipartisan support, allowed more than 800 companies to bring profits that were untaxed but overseas back to the United States. Instead of paying the usual 35 percent tax, the companies paid just 5.25 percent.

The companies said bringing the money home — “repatriating” it, they called it — would mean lots of jobs. Senator John Ensign, the Nevada Republican, put the figure at 660,000 new jobs.

Pfizer, the drug company, was the biggest beneficiary. It brought home $37 billion, saving $11 billion in taxes. Almost immediately it started firing people. Since the law took effect, it has let 40,000 workers go. In all, it appears that at least 100,000 jobs were destroyed.

Now congressional Republicans and some Democrats are gearing up again to pass another tax holiday, promoting a new Jobs Creation Act. It would affect 10 times as much money as the 2004 law.

Republicans like taxes, too.

Reagan signed into law 11 tax increases, targeted at people down the income ladder. His administration and the

Washington press corps called the increases “revenue enhancers.” Among other things, Reagan hiked Social Security taxes so high that the government collected more than $2 trillion in surplus tax since 2008.

George W. Bush signed a tax increase, too, in 2006, despite his written ironclad pledge to never raise taxes on anyone. He raised taxes on teenagers by requiring kids up to age 17 who earned money to pay taxes at their parents’ tax rate, which would almost always be higher than the rate they would otherwise pay. It was a story that ran buried inside the New York Times one Sunday, but nowhere else.

In fact, thanks to Republicans, one in three Americans will pay higher taxes this year than they did last year.

First, some history: In 2009, President Obama pushed his own tax cut — for the working class. He persuaded Congress to enact the Making Work Pay Tax Credit.

Over the two years 2009 and 2010, it saved single workers up to $800 and married heterosexual couples up to $1,600, even if only one spouse worked. The top 5 percent or so of taxpayers were denied this tax break.

The Obama administration called it “the biggest middle-class tax cut” ever.

Yet last December the Republicans, poised to re-gain control of the House of Representatives, killed Obama’s Making Work Pay Credit while extending the Bush tax cuts for two more years — a policy Obama agreed to.

By doing so, congressional Republican leaders increased taxes on a third of

What is a Nurse Practitioner (NP)?

Americans, virtually all of them the working poor, this year.

As a result, of the 155-million households in the tax system, 51 million will pay an average of $129 more this year.

That is $6.6 billion in higher taxes for the working poor, the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center estimated.

In addition, the Republicans changed the rate of workers’ FICA contributions, which finances half of Social Security. The result is if you are single and make less than $20,000, or married and less than $40,000, you lose under this plan.

But the top 5 percent, people who make more than $106,800, will save $2,136 ($4,272 for two-career couples).

Other countries do it better.

We measure our economic progress, and our elected leaders debate tax policy, in terms of a crude measure known as gross domestic product. The way the official statistics are put together, each dollar spent buying solar-energy equipment counts the same as each dollar spent investigating murders.

We do not give any measure of value to time spent rearing children or growing our own vegetables or to time off for leisure and community service.

And we do not measure the economic damage done by shocks, such as losing a job, which means not only loss of income and depletion of savings, but loss of health insurance, which a Harvard Medical School study found results in 45,000 unnecessary deaths each year Compare this to Germany, one of many countries with a smarter tax system and smarter spending policies.

Germans work less, make more per hour, and get much better parental leave than Americans, many of whom get no fringe benefits such as health care, pensions, or even a retirement savings plan. By many measures, the vast majority live better in Germany than in America.

To achieve this, German singles on average pay 52 percent of their income in taxes. Americans average 30 percent, according to the Organizations for Economic Cooperation and Development.

At first blush the German tax burden seems horrendous. But in Germany (as well as Britain, France, Scandinavia, Canada, Australia and Japan), taxsupported institutions provide many of the things Americans pay for with aftertax dollars. Buying wholesale rather than retail saves money.

A proper comparison would take the 30 percent average tax on American

workers and add their out-of-pocket spending on health care, college tuition, and fees for services and compare that with taxes that the average German pays.

Add it all up and the combination of tax and personal spending is roughly equal in both countries, but with a large risk of catastrophic loss in America, and a tiny risk in Germany.

Americans take on $85 billion of debt each year for higher education, while college is financed by taxes in Germany and tuition is cheap to free in other modern countries. While soaring medical costs are a key reason that since 1980 bankruptcy in America has increased 15 times faster than population growth, no one in Germany or the rest of the modern world goes broke because of accident or illness. And child poverty in America is the highest among modern countries — almost twice the rate in Germany, which is close to the average of modern countries.

On the corporate tax side, the Germans encourage reinvestment at home and the outsourcing of low-value work, like auto assembly, and German rules tightly control accounting so that profits earned at home cannot be made to appear as profits earned in tax havens.

Adopting the German system is not the answer for America. But crafting a tax system that benefits the vast majority, reduces risks, provides universal health care, and focuses on diplomacy rather than militarism abroad (and at home) would be a lot smarter than what we have now.

Here is a question to ask yourself: We started down this road with Reagan’s election in 1980 and upped the ante in this century with George W. Bush.

How long does it take to conclude that a policy has failed to fulfill its promises?

And as you think of that, keep in mind George Washington. When he fell ill his doctors followed the common wisdom of the era. They cut him and bled him to remove bad blood. As Washington’s condition grew worse, they bled him more. They kept applying the same treatment until they killed him.

Luckily we don’t bleed the sick anymore, but we are bleeding our government to death.

Nurse Prac•ti•tion•er Pronunciation: (prāk-tĭsh'u-nur),—noun.

A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse who has completed advanced nursing education (generally a master’s degree or higher) and training in the diagnosis and management of common health conditions, including chronic illnesses.

Nurse Practitioners (NPs) provide much of the same care provided by physicians in their specific practice areas like family practice offices, urgent care centers, hospitals, and health clinics. NPs are licensed by the state in which they practice, and have a board certification in their area of practice. Nurse Practitioners specialize in an area of study such as Pediatrics, Women’s Health, Family Practice, Acute Care, Psychiatric Care, Oncology, Adult, or Geriatrics (among others) and provide care within the scope of their expertise.

Nurse practitioners treat both acute and chronic conditions, as well as prescribe medications and therapies for the patient at hand. Nurse practitioners may also bill Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance for services performed. An NP often serves as a patient’s “point of entry” health care provider and is typically an expert in health promotion and care management within their designated scope of practice. The core philosophy of the field is individualized care. Nurse practitioners focus on patients’ conditions as well as the effects of illness on the lives of patients and their families. Informing patients about their health care and encouraging them to participate in decisions are central to the care provided by NPs.

Hop, hop, hooray [ CHOW HOUND ] BY SUSIE HUME

Between the Senator Schumer-sponsored BEER Act (Brewer’s Employment and Excise Relief Act) — which aims to cut in half the $7 excise tax brewers pay on the first 60,000 barrels of beer they brew each year, plus additional savings — and recent announcements that the Genesee Brewing Company will be adding 100 jobs by May, things are looking pretty good for Rochester beer-brewing businesses. It’s no surprise then that new breweries, brews, and tastings are cropping up all over the area. And while technically this is a food-news column, that category is expanding this week so that the Chow Hound can bring readers a taste of what’s brewing in and around Rochester.

Rohrbach Brewing Company celebrated the grand opening of a new tasting room in its Railroad Street Brewery location last week.

The new space (approximately 1,500 squarefeet) features a new tasting bar with seating for about 50 people and standing room that can accommodate up to 100. Owner John Urlaub also plans to use the space for events and private parties, which can be catered by Rohrbach’s Buffalo Road restaurant location.

With the opening of the new tasting room, the Railroad Street Brewery is also offering a new tour schedule — every Saturday, every hour on the hour, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. While tours were offered on-demand in the past, Urlaub states that the hourly Saturday tours are more extensive and also feature additional beers to sample, now totaling six. The tour costs $5 but includes a coupon that can be used to purchase growlers of beer or merchandise at 10 percent off.

Rohrbach’s opened its first restaurant and brewery in 1992 in the German House (315 Gregory St.), located in the South Wedge neighborhood. In 1995, Urlaub purchased and renovated the still-standing 3859 Buffalo Road restaurant location and then closed the German House leased space in 2002. The Railroad Street Brewery opened in 2008.

“We’re very, very happy to be back downtown and extremely excited to be by the market,” Urlaub says of the nearby Rochester Public Market. “The market is all about small, family-run businesses bringing in high-quality, locally produced products, and that’s what Rohrbach’s is about. It’s a perfect fit.”

Rohrbach’s Railroad Street Brewery is located at 97 Railroad St. It is open MondayFriday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m.3 p.m. For more information, call 546-8020 or visit rohrbachs.com.

Donnelly’s Public House is running a series

to promote local beers that will feature four local breweries throughout the month of April. The series includes four week-long spotlights on local breweries with tastings held every Wednesday 6:30-8 p.m. hosted by the featured brewery. The featured beers will then be available on the Donnelly’s menu throughout the week for $3 per pint or $9.75 per pitcher; attendees who order a draught on Wednesdays will also receive a free pint glass labeled “Drink Local.”

The restaurant and pub kicked off the series with Rohrbach Brewing Company April 1-9, featuring the Export Stout, Schwarzbier Black Lager, and Scotch Ale. April 10-16 is Naked Dove Brewing Company week, which will include the Canandaigua-based brewery’s newest beer, Berry Naked (see below). April 17-23 is craft-beer newcomer Three Heads Brewing week, featuring its new summer-seasonal

opened its doors last fall, has released a new beer called Berry Naked. The new brew is a black-raspberry-infused ale that is light with a fruity front and a clean finish. The new addition is the fourth offering from the company, which also offers the Windblown Amber, 45 Fathoms Porter, and Starkers IPA. The brewery sells growlers of each brew for $9 at its tasting room, or $13 for a commemorative growler. In addition, several local restaurants and pubs are carrying the new beer, including Tap and Mallet, Lovin’ Cup, The Old Toad, Anchor Bar, and more.

Naked Dove Brewing Company is located at 4048 State Route 5 and 20 in Canandaigua. It is open for tours and tastings Thursday-Friday 4-8 p.m., Saturday noon-6 p.m., and Sunday noon-5 p.m. For more information, call 396-2537 or visit nakeddovebrewing.com.

show includes Baltimore’s Ego Likeness, which blends rock, dark trip-hop, and darkwave strains; Twitch the Ripper, a melancholy synthpop duo influenced by Depeche Mode, New Order, Kraftwerk, and Bjork; and The Ludovico Technique, an industrial band that “highlights the dark aspects of the human experience as well as the depths to which the human mind can deteriorate.” Sounds like my typical weekend. — BY ERIC REZSNYAK

Still soaring [ review ] by frank de blase

The Old 97’s stormed the Water Street

stage Thursday night with a lot more gusto than when I last saw them at the Tralf in Buffalo. The band hasn’t abandoned it rootsy twang but has certainly made room for some straightahead rock ‘n’ roll. With zero fanfare, the band took the bandstand — which was adorned with nothing more than amps and drums — and tore it up. Front man Rhett Miller danced in front of the mic much in the same way I did as a kid, in my underpants, in front of the bathroom mirror, wailing “Heartbreak Hotel” into a hairbrush. He bobbed and weaved and windmilled his Tele like a double-jointed Pete Townshend with a broken arm.

The overall sound was pretty damned loud, with guitarist and Americana twangtosaurus Ken Bethea riding both ends of the neck with a galloping gutbucket roar and stinging singlestring cries to the sky. This guy has an amazing vocabulary, but isn’t rigid or tight. It comes out in loose, thoughtful bursts. The Old 97’s spread the set across the group’s 17-year history and I loved every minute of it, but I was holding out for “Question,” one of the most beautiful love songs ever. Well, they did it and dressed it up a bit from its original acoustic rendering. It gave my

goose bumps goose bumps. The band concluded with two smoldering encores, finally exiting to the cheers of a lot of new fans amidst the howls of the diehards.

Velvet Elvis belongs on a big stage. Its slow-dirge, stoner-rock opuses embrace time signatures conducive to the big cathedrals of rock like the Main Street Armory. The band was absolutely epic and thundering while opening for Black Sheep Friday night. Sonic explorations from the guitars and the shared multioctave vocals gave the band a sinister stance. The crowd loved it and cheered wildly, though a few may have been a little intimidated. Hey, remember when rock ’n’ roll did that all the time?

Black Sheep, playing this one-time (or so they say) reunion show, absolutely rocked the house. I went in wondering if Lou Gramm could still nail those high notes. Sho’ nuff, the man can still soar.

The band played a great set and everyone seemed in top form. Donny Mancuso is still the kid in the band, as he bounded around the stage painting the walls with strokes of brilliant classic rock guitar. **For additional reviews, including the Raunchy Sex/Cheetah Whores show at White Rabbit, visit the Music Blog at rochestercitynewspaper.com.**

Buffalo quintet Son of the Sun says that while its psychedelic rock-oriented style is simple, complexity comes via the sophisticated delivery. PHOTO PROVIDED

Here comes the Son Son of The Sun w/Animal Pants, Auld Lang Syne Saturday, April 16 Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. 8 p.m. | $6-$8 | 454-2966 sonofthesunmusic.com [ PROFILE ] By Frank De Blase

Son of the Sun is a sensational Buffalo quintet of psychedelic splendor and rock ’n’ roll grit. Its sound gets way out there, while remaining relevant and accessible. It’s big and bad and beautiful with its multiple layers and dimensions. Yet go and ask guitaristkeyboardist Joseph Stocker and he’ll tell you it’s really simple.

“It really is,” Stocker says. “It’s simple in the writing. A 12-year-old could play these chords. The instrumentation and the layering and the arrangements and the sounds that are picked, I think is what delivers it in a slightly more… I don’t want to say sophisticated, but it’s not like a Ramones’ song.” He pauses for a minute on the phone and clears his throat before pulling a 180.

“In actuality the songwriting is like a Ramones’ song,” he says. “I just think the layers really hide it. But its nuts and bolts — if you write out the chords, it’s just three chords.”

Son of the Sun and its three chords came

together with Stocker and vocalist-guitarist Zak Ward in 2007. Ward was on the left coast, but the two worked via internet.

“I would send him instrumentals,” says Stocker. “I would write all the music and 16 City april 13-19, 2011

record all the music and he would write lyrics for them.”

It’s when Ward returned to Buffalo in 2008 that Stocker says things began to flourish. “We put out a 7’’ EP and people really liked it,” he says, referencing the “Before the After” project. “So we put a band together.” From then on the band included Stocker, Ward, guitarist Jeremy Franklin, bassist Steve Matthews, and drummer Brandon Delmont. Son of the Sun played its first show at The Hard Rock Café in Niagara Falls, which went over remarkably well.

“We were kind of shocked it didn’t flop,” Stocker says. “So we booked another show and it just snowballed.”

Son of the Sun released its first full-length album, “The Happy Loss,” (produced by Mike Brown) in 2010.

What is both beguiling and intriguing about this band is the blending of influences, almost to the point of anonymity. Where is the sound coming from, exactly? The genres and predecessors to Son of the Sun’s wail aren’t readily apparent, though Stocker is ready to rattle off a list.

“Personally,” he says. “I do like older music; 60’s stuff, obviously. The Beatles, Dylan, Bowie. But I really love pop like Roy Orbison and doo-wop, The Everly Brothers, stuff like that. Some bands have an immediate retro sound, and I love that kind of stuff. But I love modern records, too, like Wilco and the Flaming Lips and The National. You can really go both ways, you can totally make a lo-fi throwback kind of sound, but we try to blend them both.”

Still, Stocker believes the pursuit of originality may be in vain. “It’s a funny

thing,” he says. “Whenever you get three chords together and it’s apparently a new song, really it’s a Buddy Holly song. My only rule is, it has to be simple.” Simple as in, this band doesn’t jam.

“Everything’s arranged in practice or in recording,” says Stocker. “I feel we really don’t go too far, we just really try to put a lot of energy and emotion without sounding like ‘American Idol.’ We just try to put everything we have into it at the time. We really don’t doodle.”

Son of the Sun is wrapping up work on its

forthcoming CD, tentatively called “Almost Not There.” Then the band plans on putting rubber to the asphalt.

There are two ways of deciphering a band or predicting its path; listen where it is or listen to where it was. Son of the Son is so steeped in its own sonic elegance that it is perhaps easier to listen to where it could go if given the option to go backwards 10 or 20 years. Stocker hazards a guess.

“I don’t know, man” he says. “I’d like to have been something off Creation Records.

American music was obviously pretty bad until Nirvana. British music was still cool; Oasis, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen. I think it would depend where you lived. I think just good pop music with a little twist.”

Like Son of the Sun does now. “Yeah, we’re trying,” Stocker says. “Underneath all the crap, it’s just a pop song.”

ROCK/ACOUSTIC | Record Store Day

On the third Saturday of every April since 2008, vinyl geeks and avid record collectors rejoice and revel in celebrating a retail holiday that Hallmark can’t touch. Specifically the independent, non-corporate record stores are able to obtain special one-day-only releases and reissues on vinyl in extremely limited quantity. Music nerds travel far and wide to find the golden nuggets stashed in the stacks of their trusty local music shop. We in Rochester are particularly lucky to have several stores involved in the project, which also includes in-store performances by bands and DJs, contests, the occasional weenie roast, and of course free swag with purchase.

The Bop Shop (Village Gate, 274 N Goodman St., bopshop. com) starts its celebration at noon and features the “Whole Lotta Shakin 27th Anniversary Show” along with McFadden’s Parchute, Dan Frank and the True Believers, and The Tombstone Hands. Record Archive (33 1/3 Rockwood St., recordarchive.com) hosts Po’ Boys Brass Band, The Isotopes, Velvet Elvis, Driftwood Sailors, and the Revengineers.

House of Guitars (645 Titus Ave., houseofguitars.com) has Danny and the Rebel Rockers, Blue Heron, Cleary From Negligence, and Shawnee Boyee. Lakeshore Record Exchange (370 Park Ave, alternativemusic.com) features a $100 gift-certificate raffle. — BY EMILY FAITH DJs Richie Salvaggio, Kalifornia.

PSYCHEDELIC ROCK | The Curious Mystery

Imagine the hazy heat glossing heavy over a backwoods afternoon, the screen door swinging off its hinges, and a rattlesnake in the distance, its hiss infectious and the vibe is hypnotic. Such is the musical spectacle of Seattle’s Curious Mystery. Blending a love of traditional American 60’s-style rock and soul with a hip art-rock sensibility, these spiraling drone-kissed sweethearts of K Records fame are sure to impress. Vocals and guitars are intricately carriage-driven to and fro by band-mates Shana Cleveland and Nicolas Gonzalez.

Expect some jammy extended versions of their new release, “We Creeling.” Don’t miss local offerings Ginger Faye Bakers and Argus Eye, who share the bill.

Those familiar with the likes of MC Lars, MC Chris, and YT Cracker may also enjoy the unique element that Loki brings to us all the way from Brooklyn. Host DJ Bizmuth will guide you along for an excellent evening.

Lucky’s charm [ THE SCENE ] by Michelle Inclema

Last month Lucky’s Saloon officially opened at 373 S. Goodman St., the location of the former KC Tea & Noodles, and before that, Paradise Alley. Co-owners Chris and Grey Joy also run South Wedge Colony Bar and Grille. Like Colony, Lucky’s serves up East End-style fun in a location known for its casual bar scene.

While the official grand opening occurred in March, I first visited Lucky’s on a chilly Saturday in February. Despite the cold weather the two-story bar and nightclub was bustling. Unlike many area bars, Lucky’s has its own parking lot, though a busy night will still find patrons parking on the street. From the outside, Lucky’s looks like your average bar, with beer signs glowing in every window. From the doorway, we could hear the music pumping, a mix of 80’s and Top 40 spun by Angel Alvarez, also known as DJ Ara. Lucky’s boasts no cover charge and a true dance floor, which means you won’t compete for space with those saddled up to the bar.

If dancing isn’t your thing, you can keep your distance from those who like to boogie and stay at the downstairs bar, or head upstairs for a game of pool, darts, or to relax on the wraparound leather couches and check out the crowd down below.

The upstairs bar had a variety of beers on tap, including Guinness, seasonal Sam Adams, McSorley’s, Rohrbach’s Scotch Ale, Bud Light, Labatt Light, and Shock Top. Prices average around $5 for a draft beer on the weekend. Bottled beers include Bud,

Labatt Blue, Red Stripe, Corona, and Amstel Light. Twelve flat-screen televisions showed a mix of sports and music videos, and as we kicked back on the leather couches, my friend noted that the place felt like someone’s den.

The music was dance-friendly, and DJ Ara played pop tunes with a techno beat behind them, juxtaposing Madonna’s “Express Yourself” with The Black Eyed Peas “Time of My Life.” Although the music is loud, Lucky’s is large enough that you can carry on a conversation easily in the upstairs bar area, or at the downstairs bar away from the dance floor. This is a spacious location, one of the few around that can simultaneously act as a low-key hangout and a dance club.

I returned to Lucky’s for a Wednesday happy hour, where Rochester Young Professionals teamed up with the bar to draw in new business and provide a space for social networking. Bottled beers were offered at a discount, and the Joy brothers provided sustenance with sheet pizzas. As a YP, I received drinks vouchers good for future Thursday or Friday happy hours. Unlike the casual club wear of the Saturday crowd, this group dressed business casual and swapped cards while nursing a Corona. A mix of rock and pop blasted through the speakers throughout the social.

Lucky’s Saloon is open MondayWednesday 8 p.m.-2 a.m., ThursdaySaturday 4 p.m.-2 a.m. It offers karaoke on Thursdays 10 p.m.-2 a.m., and a live DJ playing 80’s and Top 40 music Friday and Saturday nights. For updates check the bar’s Facebook page.

JJ Hudson will sing the role of Jesus in J.S. Bach’s “St. John Passion” this weekend. PHOTO PROVIDED

A religious experience J.S. Bach’s “St. John Passion”

By Voices, feat. Pablo Cesar Bustos, Thomas Lehman, and JJ Hudson Sunday, April 17 Lutheran Church of the Reformation, 111 N. Chestnut St. 3 p.m. | Free | 454-3367, ReformationInRochester.org [ PREVIEW ] BY PALOMA CAPANNA

“Whether you are Christian or not, the music touches you on some levels,” says tenor Pablo Cesar Bustos, who will play the Evangelist in Voices’ upcoming production of Johann Sebastian Bach’s “St. John Passion” (BWV 245). Bach composed the piece in 1724, and it was first performed at the St. Nicholas Church in Leipzig, Germany, on Good Friday — the traditional musical high point of the year. The text was taken from the Luther Bible, and followed John’s version of the trial and crucifixion of Jesus over those told by Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

The sacred oratorio chronicles Jesus from his arrest at the Garden of Gethsemane, to the conspiracy to bring charges against him at the palace of the high priest Kaiphas, to the authorization for his crucifixion by Roman 22 City april 13-19, 2011

prefect Pontius Pilate, to his crucifixion at Golgotha, to his burial site.

Bach continued to revise the “St. John Passion” until 1749, the year before his death.

Back in the day, the work would have contained a sermon in between its two parts. “The version that we’ll be performing has an opening chorus that is very tumultuous and sets up an ominous picture in a dramatic way,” says Bustos. “It’s more dramatic than the original.”

“Of his two surviving passion settings by Bach, most people know the St. Matthew Passion,” says William Weinert, director and founder of Voices, a local professional vocal ensemble. “The St. John Passion is shorter, very dramatic, very exciting, and proportionally there is a lot for the chorus to do. A ‘passion’ is like a really long cantata with a text to get you through the story.”

Bustos says that singing the role of the Evangelist involves “stamina, being able to pace yourself, to last your voice the entire performance.” The Evangelist is like the narrator, and Bustos says, “It’s one of the most challenging roles in the repertoire, given the sheer volume of notes — you’re narrating for most of the piece.”

Chilean-born Bustos, who is also the director

of music ministries and organist at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation, says his preparations will also intensify his Biblical studies to examine how Bach was able to set

into music the story reflected in the Bible.

“I’ll be preparing myself physically, vocally, and emotionally for it,” says Bustos.

Baritone JJ Hudson will sing the role of Jesus. “The words that I am given to say and the character that I have for saying those words and that person are important in many peoples’ lives in a way that an opera character typically is not,” Hudson says.

Hudson explains that Jesus, Pilot, and the Evangelist are “recitative” roles, and that the action comes through the singing of the choruses and the arias within the choruses.

For those whose only exposure to Bach may have been the “Well Tempered Clavier,” Hudson acknowledges that “within the timestylistic rigidness, there are moments of real beauty.” Hudson says, “Baroque music is affectual music — it’s conveying an emotional affect through wonderful arias, the wonderful chorus, wonderful instrumentation.”

Casting for the production also includes Thomas Lehman (tenor) as Pontius Pilate.

The chorus of 18 voices will include additional solos by Elizabeth Phillips (soprano), Megan Berti and Ashley Hill (altos), Matthew Valverde (tenor), and Harris Ipock and Thomas Lehman (basses).

An ensemble assembled for the production will accompany the singers.

Voices is now in its fifth season under the direction of founder Weinert. “There haven’t been any passions done in Rochester since about eight years ago,” says Weinert.

“This is the biggest work we’ve performed.”

Weinert started Voices on the model of small, professional chamber choirs that he says have come alive around a number of different communities in the country in the past 15 to 20 years. “It struck me that no one had done it here, and I thought there would be a lot of talent here,” says Weinert.

“Our model is that we rehearse the week of a concert in three to five rehearsals — like a professional orchestra.” Weinert is director of choral activities at the Eastman School of Music and is artistic director of music and arts at Asbury First Methodist Church.

Bustos and Hudson met each other at Eastman School approximately 10 years ago, and have previously sung in productions together. Both hold degrees from Eastman. For Hudson, the opportunity for the audience to hear the “St. John Passion” shouldn’t be missed.

“You have to experience old music. You have to hear Bach done really well,” Hudson says.

“It’s two hours or as long as you want to sit.

There’s little to lose and much to be gained by an experience of hearing Bach done well.”

Bustos takes it one step further: “It is really important to do something like this — to be able to experience this level of music as a concert performance and also as a religious experience.”

ART EVENT | ArtAwake 2011

When University of Rochester student Carlin Gettlife initiated the first ArtAwake in 2008, he sought to involve campus-absorbed students in the city experience. The festival won the Student-Driven Program of the Year award in 2008 from the Association of College Unions International, and has come a long way since then.

Now in its fourth year, the festival continues to embrace local artwork, art installations, interactive art, and music, and will again take place in that old abandoned bank in downtown Rochester (the Alliance Building, 183 E. Main St.). The event will be held on Saturday, April 16, 3 p.m.-1 a.m., and feature 22 local performers and more than 150 pieces of art.

This year, the Memorial Art Gallery will host a family-friendly craft workshop in the afternoon of the event, on-site tshirt printing will be offered, and Rochester Contemporary Art Center will provide tiles for guests to contribute to its “6x6x2011” exhibition fundraiser. This celebration of local talent will also be extended to the gastronome realm: complimentary hors d’oeuvres will showcase local ingredients, courtesy of Lento restaurant and Meliora Catering, Imagine Moore Winery will host a free wine tasting, and desserts from Eco Bella Bakery will be served from a cupcake station.

Tickets cost $7-$9 in advance and $9-$11 at the door, and children ages 12 and under are admitted free. Tickets can be purchased at the Common Market in Wilson Commons on the River Campus or at the MAG (500 University Ave.).

A bus will loop continuously from UR to Eastman during the hours of the event. For more information, visit artawake.org.

LECTURE | King Tut

When the relatively undisturbed tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamen was unsealed in 1923 by an excavation team led by British archaeologist Howard Carter and financial backer Lord Carnarvon, much about Egyptian culture was revealed through artifacts found within — but many mysteries remain. Details surrounding the pharaoh’s life and death remain contested among Egyptologists, and the god-king himself is enjoying an extended immortality, as thousands visit his remains and artifacts at various exhibits along his continuous tour of the world.

On Thursday, April 14, at 7 p.m., the Memorial Art Gallery (500 University Ave.) will present “Tutankhamen: The Life and Death of a God King,” a lecture by Professor Lanny Bell, visiting scholar at Brown University. Bell’s talk will address what the contents of Tut’s tomb tell us about his life, his appearance, his family, and how he died. This lecture is co-sponsored by the Memorial Art Gallery and the Archaeological Institute of America, Rochester Society; admission is free to MAG and AIA members, but included in gallery admission for all others ($2.50-$5 at the reduced-price Thursday night rate). For more information, call 276-8900 or visit mag.rochester.edu.

Art from above the picture, suspended dreamily amid countless bubbles and shapes, above a series of horizontal striations like waves.

Further into the gallery the works return to family matters with “Saying Prayers for Daddy” by Linda Rae Coughlin, a hand-hooked, felted fabric wall-hanging that earned the show’s second-place award, even though it caused a stir at the opening, says Cease. The disturbing image depicts a young girl sitting on the ground, hands in a praying steeple and clutching a crucifix. She looks up at a man standing next to her, visible from his chest to feet, holding a real leather strap that dangles from crossed arms.

Also in the disturbing vein of this show

Peacefulness and politics Northeast Regional Contemporary Fiber Exhibition Through May 9 Rochester Contemporary Art Center, 137 East Ave. 461-2222, rochestercontemporary.org Wed-Sun 1-5 p.m. | $1 [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

After checking with a few friends, I was both relieved and vexed that I’m not the only one whose understanding of the realm of fiber arts begins and ends with moldering tapestries and the hip revival of knitting at parties. If you’re in this boat, we’re all in luck, because this spring no fewer than three local exhibitions will center directly on the vast and varied craft of fiber art. First up is the Northeast Regional Contemporary Fiber Exhibition, presented by Rochester Contemporary and the Surface Design Association, and featuring 28 artworks by 20 regional talents that serve to expand our understanding of this versatile field of creativity. There are far too many works of interest to discuss here, so make sure you check out the show for yourself.

28 City april 13-19, 2011

The exhibition is a departure for Rochester Contemporary, says director Bleu Cease, as this is a show built around a medium rather than the work of one or a group of specific artists. Works range from expressions of peaceful meditations to studies in form and color, to political concerns; from adornments, like Carol Ann Rice Rafferty’s ruffle-y cocoon of muslin, used coffee-filters, and beeswax (“Dressing Gown to Filter Out Bad Chi”), to Marilyn Beal’s glowing, crisscrossing threadwork in “Snowless Winter,” to “Apothecary,” an arrangement of shimmering fabric bottles by Saberah Malik.

The fields of weaving, embroidering, quilting, and sewing are traditionally women’s work, and though many male artists now work in fiber media as well, only 2 of 100 submissions to the juried show were men (and no men were accepted into the show, except as subjects). But the work is neither characterized merely by a decorative nature nor by its domestic usefulness; much of it is packed with philosophic wonderings and calls to social action. Meredith Grimsley’s sentimental, woman-shaped wall-hanging, entitled “Imprinted (My Son’s Ears),” blends the traditional method of quilting and dying fabric with inkjet-printing in order to create a portrait of a kneeling young mother looking down at her arms and hands, which bear red

imprints of tiny ears trailing up to the mass of marks on her chest. A viewer can easily imagine the emotional imprints remaining from countless cradlings of the child in those outstretched arms.

Across the space on the facing wall is a

jacquard damask, black, and deep blue diptych by Betty Vera. In creating the abstract works entitled “Sparkles” and “Mystere,” Vera uses the camera as a sketching tool, capturing “visual messages” and objects existing in the periphery, “traces of human activities, aspirations, and our tenuous connection with life itself,” per the provided statement.

Those digital images were then translated into textiles with the use of a jacquard loom, a mechanical tool originally invented in 1801.

Close by you’ll find a sympathetic work by Vivien Zepf entitled “On the Streets,” which transmits familiar messages of desperation to a socially conscious wall piece. Mixed media on cotton replicates black marker-on-cardboard messages from the streets. One reads, “Need, want, and will work.” Stitched over the notes is a human silhouette with his back leaning against a building, one knee up.

Turn around again and you’ll spy “Ina’s Legs” by Rebecca Fricke. A springy yellow and green and delicately floral cotton sheet has been quilted to depict a pair of legs dangling

are two large wall pieces by Priscilla Smith, “The Weapons of War,” which won the juror’s choice award, and “The Death of War.” The former work is the louder of the two; the dyed, printed, and fused rayon and silk blasting the viewer with deep red angles that frame an enormous handgun, all imposed over a background pattern of linear black tanks.

The latter piece follows the same pattern, with a giant foreground crucifix on which a soldier’s helmet hangs, with flag-swathed coffins, crucifixes, and headstones repeating in muted colors.

These works are born of a desire to put the effects of war in the viewer’s face, “to provoke thought and emotion; to raise consciousness; and to galvanize change,” says Smith in a provided artist statement.

“For many years of my life, I marched for peace. But that is not enough,” she says.

“The artist must also create ‘images’ which reflect the horror and dark side of war.”

Jane Ogren’s “Jefo #627” resonated well with the jurors, as it won first place of all of the show’s offerings. The stacked triptych of dyed polyester fiber mounted on curved metal forms features a smooth transition of hues and a softly bumpy texture, enabled by the malleable, fluid nature of polyester at certain temperatures.

Though all of the work is heavily textured and begs to be touched, most of the works are relatively two-dimensional wall hangings. The third dimension comes to play in Laura Tabakman’s delicate and captivating “Vessels,” an installation of three steel-and-wire-framed, rust-dyed silk, and hog-gut-covered boat forms suspended from the ceiling about waisthigh. From the wooden platform below sprout wire reeds topped with realisticlooking polymer clay fronds, completing the effect of the vessels floating atop a calm and invisible body of water.

KIDS | Spring Break Activities

Kids get all the breaks: summer, holiday, February, and April breaks, for instance. It seems like you just sent the little gremlins back to their studies, and now they’ve got another week of freedom. Don’t worry: there are a number of local institutions offering special events geared toward keeping vacationing children occupied and stretching education through playtime.

Here are a just few, but search the “kids event” category on our events calendar at rochestercitynewspaper.com for more.

An Earth Day celebration will be held at the Seneca Park Zoo (2222 St. Paul St., senecaparkzoo.org) on Saturday, April 16, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Complete the Endangered Species Scavenger hunt and win a prize; at each of seven different animal stations, zoo docents will talk about why each animal is endangered and what the zoo is doing to help them. The event is included with zoo admission, which is $7-$10, and free for kids age 2 and under and zoo members.

Many Monroe County libraries will participate in the Children’s Film Festival, taking place through the month of April. For information on locations, dates, times, and film titles, call Melanie Lewis at 428-8304 or check with your local library.

On Saturday, April 16, at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., attend a performance of “The Dancing Spider,” based on West African Folk Art and presented by the Interdisciplinary Arts for Children Program at SUNY Brockport, at The National Museum of Play at The Strong. At 2:30 and 3:30 p.m., you can catch story readings and signings of “What’s UP with Yuk?” an art book about making positive and negative choices by author Nanette Nocon and illustrator John Kastner. And of course, you could spend the day (or several) exploring the exhibits and displays. Admission is $10-$12, and free to kids under age 2 and members. For more info, call 263-2700 or visit museumofplay.org.

The Rochester Museum and Science Center (657 East Ave.) will feature “Lights, Camera, Action: Movie Science” noon-4 p.m., Saturday, April 16-Thursday, April 21. Hands-on science and techie activities include the creation of animated shorts, which you can enter into an online competition at RMSC’s Facebook page. Or learn about the importance of water at “Raindrops & Runoff,” Friday, April 22-Sunday, April 24, also noon-4 p.m.

Kids can travel through the water cycle and explore the human effect on watersheds. On Saturday, April 23, a rain-barrel family workshop takes place in two sessions, 1-2 p.m. and 3-4 p.m., with limited space available, so pre-registration is required.

Participants will learn the benefits of using rain barrels, and build their own to take home. Admission to RMSC is $10-$12, or free to kids under age 3 and members. All of this is on top of the regular exhibits and films; for more information, call 271-4320 or visit rmsc.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

LIT | Poetry Month Events

The month of April, with its achingly appreciated birdsong, wistful renewal of life, whispering rainstorms, and tumultuous skies, is perfectly suited to be National Poetry Month. One of my summer-loving girlfriends scoffs at this, citing that the filthy streets and slushmelt trump the crocuses and tulips in her mind, but I call those things poetic, too. T.S. Eliot agreed — in “The Wasteland,” he called April “the cruellest [sic] month, breeding / Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing/ Memory and desire, stirring/ Dull roots with spring rain.” His objection to the weather-induced movement of emotion may or may not have been the origin of the fourth month being ordained for poetry, but in any case, here are some local commemorations that you should check out, you sensitive souls. (This is just a sample; for more events, search “poetry” on the events calendar at rochestercitynewspaper.com.)

Renowned author, poet, writer, photographer, and social activist Margaret Randall will visit RIT (Bamboo Room 2610/2650, New Campus Center, Lomb Memorial Dr.) for two free readings on Wednesday, April 13, at 12:30 p.m. and again at 4 p.m. (at Liberal Arts Faculty Commons 06-1251). For more information, call 424-6766.

Randall will visit St. John Fisher College (3690 East Ave., Wilson Formal Lounge) for another free reading on Thursday, April 14, at 7:30 p.m.; email mjiuppa@rochester.rr.com for more info.

On Thursday, April 14, 7-9 p.m., Barnes & Noble Pittsford (3349 Monroe Ave.) will host a free reading by Just Poets Reading Series & Open Mic. For more information, call 5866020, email claudiastanek@gmail.com, or visit thejustpoets.wordpress.com.

THEATER | “Big Bad”

In a way, you have to admire the prolific nature of the fabled Big Bad Wolf. His far-reaching appearances in fairy tales hint at civilized humanity’s uniform fear of the forests we abandoned, and an ongoing unrest that we feel regarding the wild world. But what if charges were brought against this notorious beast for his abhorrent acts? This week, Black Sheep Theatre (on floor 3 of the Village Gate, 274 North Goodman St.) will present “Big Bad,” a courtroom comedy in which he faces a class-action lawsuit by the many storybook characters he has wronged.

Penned by Alec Strum, and directed by Mary Reynolds, the kid-friendly production includes a cast of kids. The Evil Stepmother and the Fairy Godmother clash as attorneys, Little Red Riding Hood, her Grandmother, the Three Little Pigs, and the Shepherd in charge of the Boy Who Cried Wolf testify, and Mr. Wolf defends himself on the stand.

But the audience — which serves as the jury — and the judge must decide the ultimate outcome. Does the wolf deserve compassion or condemnation?

The performances take place as part of the company’s “NextFest” celebration of new and emerging artists, and will be presented Friday, April 15, at 8 p.m., Saturday, April 16, at 2 & 8 p.m., and Sunday, April 17, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15, and available by calling 861-4816.

Another Jane, another Rochester [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“Jane Eyre” (PG-13), directed by Cary Fukanaga Now playing

Filmed and televised an astonishing 22 times, Charlotte Brontë’s novel “Jane Eyre” qualifies not merely as a classic of English literature, but also as a cinematic franchise, sharing space on the top shelf with all those adaptations of the works of people like Ian Fleming, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Edgar Rice Burroughs. The story’s enduring appeal for both readers and viewers suggests a genuine universality, a quality that, whatever the excellence of Brontë’s particular achievement,

often depends on elements beyond the realm of the literary, striking some responsive chord in the depths of the human psyche.

After more than 150 years and all those translations, surely everyone knows the simple story of the poor orphan girl who relates her experience of abandonment, loneliness, and suffering at the hands of a series of cruel and pitiless adults. As the movie shows, Jane’s story follows a familiar trajectory, the ancient Cinderella motif of the neglected and abused young woman who after a good deal of pain attains happiness in its usual form of fortune and true love. Emerging from the literary context of the Gothic novel, a form chiefly written by, for, and about women, the novel is one of the great examples of chick lit and the movie a superior form of chick flick.

The film touches on all the major points of the book — the child Jane’s harsh treatment by her alleged guardian, the canings and punishment at the orphanage, and when she leaves that nightmarish place, her

employment as a governess at Thornfield, tutoring the ward of Edward Rochester. At Thornfield the major emotional components of the story merge, the sense of some uncanny menace in the house and the unpredictable relationship between Jane (Mia Wasikowska) and the mercurial Rochester (Michael Fassbender) combining to intensify the necessary Victorian and Gothic atmospheres of repressed sexuality and nameless dread.

Although horror constitutes one of the best subjects for cinema, the director hardly bothers to concentrate on that element beyond establishing the central mystery of Jane’s disquieting awareness of things going bump in the night. The relationship with the master of the house proceeds in fits and starts, with Rochester’s unexplained comings and goings, his capricious conduct, and his gloomy demeanor creating as much a puzzle for Jane as the mysterious noises that disturb her sleep.

The success of the novel and the movie depend almost entirely on the character of the protagonist.

Jane, who endures so much in so many ways, impresses both Rochester and the audience with her honesty, her courage, and her pride; she always speaks the truth, no matter the situation, and faces physical and emotional pain with heroic fortitude, almost always alone. She is one of the English novel’s most admirable females and obviously a choice role for an ambitious actor.

Despite the fact that the part requires an essentially passive approach, Mia Wasikowska

Good things, small packages 53rd Rochester International Film Festival Screens Thursday-Saturday at the Dryden

portrays Jane Eyre with terrific control and restraint, endowing the part with considerable strength and a good deal of passion. She appears in every scene, frequently merely as an observer or a listener, conveying her thoughts and emotions with some remarkably limited and subtle gestures and expressions; most of her dialogue consists of reactions to other people’s speech, again forcing her to communicate her feelings through understatement. Quite simply, she might be the best Jane Eyre of them all.

Michael Fassbender plays Rochester as a nasty, spoiled, imperious fool, tense and hysterical instead of fierce, world-weary, and most important, sexually threatening. He lacks the presence of Orson Welles, the definitive Rochester, but at the picture’s conclusion, blind, maimed, and let’s face it, conveniently castrated (it is, after all, a chick flick), he seems quite satisfactorily tamed and impotent.

Even with Mia Wasikowska’s fine performance, much of “Jane Eyre” is slow and talky, with several dull, extended conversations and some literalminded translation of the book. Its defining cinematic moments occur in its grand panoramas of the English countryside in all seasons — broad, bleak moors swept by heavy rain, woods obscured by sinister mists, gentle hills stretching to the horizon, Thornfield blossoming in springtime — often long shots, with the center of the frame featuring the solitary figure of a lonely, resolute young woman in a vast, empty heath, struggling bravely toward her destiny.

Your shoes are constantly muddy, the trees are festooned with baby buds, and the sun has stopped ignoring our pleas.

That can only mean it’s time once again for the George Eastman House’s Dryden Theatre (900 East Ave.) to play host to the Rochester International Film Festival — informally known as Movies on a Shoestring — celebrating its 53rd year as the oldest continually held short film festival in the world, perhaps even the universe.

RIFF 2011 offers up four distinct programs of narratives, documentaries and animated bits from across the globe, each making the case that size doesn’t actually matter. As always, admission is free, but donations are most welcome. For further information, including the complete line-up of films, check out rochesterfilmfest.org.

Thursday 8 p.m.: Clearly inspired

by American action-flick clichés, “Le Négociant,” by Belgium’s Joachim Weissmann, features a tough-talking hero

“The Squash” screens Saturday afternoon as part of the Rochester International Film Festival. PHOTO PROVIDED

whose efforts to secure the surrender of a despondent man with a bomb are derailed by an only-in-the-movies coincidence. The resourceful camerawork in Christopher Oroza’s eerie “Sae” — one of four entries this year from the talented students at the Florida State University Film School — ratchets up the dread in the tale of a young girl rendered mute by unbearable tragedy and terrifying visions. “Once More” is an ambitious and challenging piece by Brooklyn-based filmmaker Hiroo Takaoka that employs the perspective of a troubled reporter to explore the ethical questions raised when a wealthy man decides to clone his murdered wife.

Friday 8 p.m.: Two crooked cops, a mysteriously violent collector, and a lonely road all amount to one memorable evening for a young lawyer in the moody, brutal “St. Christophorus: Roadkill,” though German director Gregor Erler keeps tongue firmly in gory cheek. Jen McGowan’s heart-tugging “Touch” observes as a friendly exchange between two women waiting for the train takes on an added gravity as one of them confesses her true intentions. The highstakes setting for “Na Wewe,” by Belgian filmmaker Ivan Goldschmidt, is Burundi, 1994, as the deadly prejudices of the Rwandan genocide are visited upon a quickthinking group of travelers by gunmen with unpredictable loyalties.

Saturday 4 p.m.: Truthfully, there are no groundbreaking ideas to be found in Michael Felker’s “Cliquetastrophe,” but that shouldn’t hamper its infectious charm as a nerdy kid works up the courage to ask out a cool girl in front of her knuckle-dragging peers. The careful stop-motion artistry in “The Gift of the Magi,” by Japan’s Toshikazu Ishii, evokes the work of the Brothers Quay as it tells of one cash-strapped couple’s selfless devotion. A sweeping score highlights Joseph Rechtman’s “Maya Anderson and the Gem of the West,” which makes up for its unsubtle bad guy with a lovely

performance by Marie Polizzano as a childless frontier woman determined to save a young girl from her abusive uncle.

Human greed and fairy-tale magic form the basis for “The Squash,” a delightfully imaginative short by Bobby Young about a poor farmer and a crop that really pays off.

Saturday 8 p.m.: Luscious midcentury production design helps set the stage for Michael Rohrbaugh’s “The Perfect Gentleman,” a skillfully paced psychological thriller about a handsome young groom-to-be whose roots have more dirt than most. “The Quartering Act,” an accomplished historical drama by Stephen Bell, watches as a grieving French mother matches wits with desperate Nazi deserters days after the Allied invasion of Normandy.

Two weary travelers get caught up in the vicious cycle of bargaining in William Peters’ funny “Motel,” which showcases the deadpan Ben Watts as the deceptively tough clerk... um, I mean clerks. Jacob Mendel shot his gorgeously surreal “Zlatá Rybka” in Prague, the old city providing a serene backdrop as a cat tries to trade the pressure of having to live nine times for the relative freedom afforded the six-second memory of a goldfish.

As for my favorites from the films I got to preview for this year’s festival, they couldn’t be more different from each other.

The man behind the convenience-store counter in Aprile Ruha’s twisty, hilarious “Holdup,” screening Friday, doesn’t seem too concerned about his robbery at the hands of a masked yet friendly bandit, and it isn’t until an especially annoying customer stumbles into the situation that we learn why. Then RIFF 2011 closes Saturday night with the charming “All Birds Whistle,” by Lebanese filmmaker Roy Khalil. An elderly couple spends their days in set, silent routine until a neighbor asks them to babysit his bird, giving the wife a purpose other than her increasingly jealous husband, who turns out to be quite the romantic.

One of Genesee County’s finest homes, the Keeney mansion at 13 W. Main Street in the picturesque Village of LeRoy, is a study in classical design and gracious living. The twostory house was built in 1851 by pioneer John G. Bixby and is a remarkable example of Greek Revival style architecture, with an elegant façade whose symmetry and details are hallmarks of this era. In 1881 the house was purchased by noted horticulturist Calvin N. Keeney; his family resided here until a few years ago. Keeney’s invention of the “stringless bean” and many other garden vegetables resulted in great business success and international renown.

Situated on a half-acre lot, the expansive Keeney House features five bedrooms, three full baths, and three half baths. Step through the handsome front doorway and enter the imposing front hall with grand staircase. The magnificent walnut staircase, mahogany paneling, and Eastlake-style woodwork were added in the 1880s. Well-preserved, early 20th-century hardwood floors are found throughout the house. All windows and doors are flanked by fluted, Greek Revival pilasters and shouldered moldings. Original plaster crown moldings are situated throughout the first floor.

The large living room was originally two separate parlors and includes a historic fireplace. Across the hall, a small study and reception room could be used as an in-home office. The spacious dining room extends the full width of the house and is highlighted by a sun-lit breakfast area with large windows that provide a view of the garden.

The original butler’s pantry with ample storage

cabinets and drawers is adjacent to the dining room. The large kitchen is designed for gracious entertaining.

Two staircases lead to the second floor, where five bedrooms and a separate apartment feature historic woodwork, hardware, and hardwood floors. A lovely study with Palladian window overlooks the garden and could be converted for an office, additional bedroom, or artist’s studio. The enormous attic, with massive wood timbers, provides additional storage space. The deep backyard includes handsome landscaping, mature trees, stonepaved patio, and handsome two-story carriage house with cupola and classical port cochere.

Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Keeney House is eligible for special rehabilitation tax credits offered by New York State, if the building is used for either a private residence or income-producing property. A house built for entertaining, this spacious residence could also function as a bed-andbreakfast. The Village of LeRoy is nestled along crystal clear Oatka Creek just thirty easy minutes west of Rochester.

The 4,428-square-foot house is listed at $360,000. For more information contact Emmy Hartwick of Nothnagle Realtors at 585-409-2117.
