Brizard’s legacy: unfinished business Rochester city schools Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard has no shortage of critics — some are undoubtedly eager to see him leave. But he also has a strong group of supporters who are sorry to see him go. Brizard heads to Chicago in a matter of days to lead that city’s school system.

In a recent interview, Brizard said that the Rochester school district needs to undergo long-overdue changes.

The way teachers and principals are evaluated and retained must dramatically improve, he said.

He also said that the public and the educational community need to stop treating poverty as if it were an unconquerable obstacle to student success.

At age 47, Brizard leaves Rochester with a national reputation as a leader in the education reform movement.

But already there are calls to undo much of his work here.

In the interview, Brizard talked about mayoral control, his struggles with the teachers union, problems with the school board, and the need to hold principals and teachers more accountable for student achievement.

urban journal | by mary anna towler

War, America, and Osama bin Laden We have found and killed Osama bin Laden and buried him at sea.

Maybe now we can have a national discussion about war — the war in Afghanistan, war as a response to terrorists, war to spread democracy.

A good place to start might be a provocative article in the current Harper’s magazine, “Why I’m a Pacifist,”

by Rochester native Nicholson Baker.

Subtitled “The Dangerous Myth of the Good War,” Baker’s article lays out in detail the horrors of World War II and makes a powerful argument for opposing all war, even wars we traditionally think of as justifiable. As he himself notes in this piece, Baker took immense criticism for his views on World War II in his 2008 book “Human Smoke.” Regardless of what you think about his take on that war, though, it seems increasingly hard to justify the US military action in Afghanistan. And Libya.

Also worth reading: Luke Mogelson’s “A Beast in the Heart” in Sunday’s Times magazine, on US soldiers’ murder of Afghan civilians. These incidents, like Mai Lai during the Vietnam War, are often characterized as acts of rogue soldiers. But what if they’re not, Mogelson asks. What if they’re the result of war’s dehumanizing effects? Mental health surveys report a growing number of soldiers who say they have mistreated civilians, Mogelson writes.

And he cites a book by retired Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman, who refers to military training designed to overcome “the simple and demonstrable fact that there is within most men an intense resistance to killing their fellow man.”

War’s human toll isn’t the only issue.

Accompanying Nick Baker’s piece in Harper’s is Jonathan Stevenson’s “Owned by the Army; Has the President Lost Control of His Generals?” Stevenson’s concern: the growing power and influence of military leaders, who are now often making decisions traditionally made by civilians.

Our “spheres of influence” interests and our counter-terrorism efforts have made American military leaders “effectively proconsuls of the US government,” Stevenson writes, “often more powerful than civilian ambassadors and envoys.”

Stevenson doesn’t worry about the military overthrowing the civilian government. More likely, he writes, “is a coup d’esprit, in which civilian leadership

I worry that we have become too accepting of war’s toll, convinced that the good we do is worth the cost.” voluntarily submits to the military way of thinking.” The problem: the military’s interests, goals, and needs aren’t always the long-term interests of the country.

And there is Thomas Powers’ “How They Got Their Bloody Way” (in the May 27, 2010, New York Review of Books), which discusses Gary Wills’ “Bomb Power, The Modern Presidency and the National Security State.”

Wills’ concern is that “presidents in the name of national security have taken unto themselves an ever-expanding range of powers that are not granted, and in some cases are explicitly prohibited, by the Constitution.” The power to declare war among them, of course.

None but the most callous would go into war without recognizing the awfulness of the human physical toll. But I worry that we have become far too accepting of that toll, convinced that the good we do is worth the cost. And I worry that all of us —members of Congress included — have become too cowed by warnings of terrorism, and that we let the bravado of a few bully us into silence.

Maybe the death of Osama bin Laden will do more than end his video taunts and his leadership of Al Qaeda. Maybe it will inject a break in the momentum that is pulling us further and further into reliance on the military to solve our problems.

The odds of getting that break aren’t good. There are already calls from members of Congress that we must stay the course in Afghanistan.

“When are we going to grasp the essential truth?” Nick Baker asks as he wraps up his Harper’s article. “War never works. It never has worked. It makes everything worse.”

Do we have the intelligence and the courage to discuss that view?

Superintendents come and go, but the teachers-union chief stays. The school board’s dysfunction stays. The mediocrity in the system and of the results stays….

Still we get and let go, we get and push out, superintendents that others snap up.

Those in charge are in charge of preserving the status quo, which preserves poor results.

There is in the end no real change, because the board and the union do not seize change but criticize without offering solutions. The decline marches on.

The children do not progress; they continue with little hope inside themselves.

Real estate values in the city decline, and so does the tax base.

Officials scramble to identify and create new sources of revenue to pay for municipal services.

More people flee the city, moving to the suburbs or elsewhere entirely.

The teachers-union chief stays.

The dysfunction of the Board of Education stays.

The mediocrity in the system and of the results stay.

Apparently Mr. Brizard was not good enough for all this but is good enough for Chicago.

Thanks from Shoestring fest

On behalf of the members of Movies on a Shoestring, Inc, producer of the 53rd Rochester International Film Festival, I want to thank our tremendous audiences, sponsors, and supporters who recognize the highest professional quality of the 27 films screened at the Dryden Theatre, George Eastman House, April 14-16.

The outstanding films from all over the world included Na Wewe, one of the five Oscarnominated short films for 2011 with Director Ivan Goldschmidt from Belgium, who came to accept his trophy. Also in attendance was Australian feature film Director Chris Godfrey, who asked the audience if they would like to see his short film “Lest We Forget” as a feature, which he intends to make.

Special guest Jim Lindner, archival inventor, CEO of Media Matters. LLC, talked about making “Ma Bell’s Delinquent Children,” a trophy recipient in 1976.

According to our surveys, a large number of our huge audiences came because they read about us in City. Thank you, Dayna, for your very thoughtful review. Thank you to everyone who participated in again making the RIFF a highly successful professional festival.

From our website

On the new design for the downtown bus station: On the way to

the meeting last night, I passed my usual gas station... $3.99! Who hasn’t wondered how high it will go if things get messier in the Middle East? So what are we doing to buffer the impacts of this energy volatility (and maximize a city’s natural advantages over more car-centric areas)? We are using scarce transit dollars building a bus barn that will: • Slow commutes considerably (hinged buses actually have to make 2 full circles around congested central blocks); • Drain system resources to pay the operating costs and highly inefficient routing required by the terminal; • Turn this area of downtown into a pedestrian nightmare of heavy bus traffic; • Destroy the value of the historic housing in what would have been a highly walkable area.

There are very few issues that City Council and the mayor can so easily fix as this. Not poverty, not failing schools, not a shrinking population, not crime.... not, in fact just about anything. Yet this was one issue where, with just a little bit of real research, interest and spine, Rochester’s future could have been so much better with just a single council vote.

STAINTON

We live at the Warner Building, attended the City Council meetings, wrote letters, had City Council members at our association meetings, spoke respectfully about our concerns and our support for agreeable alternatives. During that time we felt disregarded, given a smile and a pat on the head.

There comes a time when, although we have put our money where our mouth is by actually living in the city, you just have to

admit: you can’t fight City Hall.

People need to have a place to get out of the cold, rain, and snow; to that we can agree. To place this one-trick-pony of a facility in an emerging residential area, with the opportunity for a multimodal facility just two blocks northeast, is beyond me.

JOHN VAN LARE

NYC has two huge transportation centers, which have homeless people camping out in them and the daily bustle of taxis, busses, and trains. Grand Central Terminal is not only next door to the Grand Hyatt, one of NYC’s best hotels, but is connected to it with a walkway. Luxury residences are also next door. The Port Authority bus terminal is down at 34th Street, with thousands upon thousands of city busses, commuter busses, and intercity busses. And luxury housing, Macys, and Madison Square Garden all within a few feet. The notion that high end residential and retail cannot co-exist with public transit is pure myth.

If you think NYC is different because it’s NYC, take a look at other cities and how they have built transportation hubs in the middle of their downtowns. Not one that I am aware of has any problems.

B SARBANE

On the possibility of housing a charter school in part of a Rochester public school: Charter

schools have tossed students out for bad behavior and sent them back to public schools. Now look closely into the future: classism; the haves and the havenots. Charter schools in public buildings, paying minimal rent — if charter schools are to use public school facilities, public schools should make a substantial amount of money from them, so when they toss the students back to the public school, the public school has money for that rejected student.

CARNEN 4

Why is the number of students who are choosing alternatives to our district schools growing?

Could it have anything to do with the music, art, library, health, and PE cuts; the larger class sizes; the failed in-school suspension policy that have made our schools dangerous; or the lack of transparency at Central Office?

In response to growing public concern, the Rochester school board postponed a vote on the district’s 2011-2012 proposed budget. Teaching and non-teaching positions are at stake to close a gap near $80 million.

The vote is now scheduled to take place at 6 p.m. on Friday, May 6, in the district’s central office at 131 West Broad Street.

Legislation targets water withdrawals

A Siena College Research Institute poll showed that Republican Jane Corwin had the lead for the 26th Congressional District special election, which will be held May 24. Of the poll’s respondents, 36 percent said they favored Corwin, compared to Democrat Kathy Hochul’s 31 percent, independent Jack Davis’s 23 percent, and the 1 percent who went for the Green Party’s Ian Murphy. The 26th District is a traditional Republican stronghold.

If passed, legislation pending in the State Senate and Assembly would bring New York into compliance with a water-regulation agreement between Great Lakes states and Canadian provinces.

The bills direct the State Department of Environmental Conservation to develop regulations for water withdrawals exceeding 100,000 gallons per day, including water taken out of basins. The outof-basin transfers are often used for bottled water or for consumption by parched areas.

Water withdrawals for agricultural use would be subject to a different standard.

Under the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Water Resources Compact, the state committed to regulating water withdrawals from Lakes Erie and Ontario as well as from their drainage basins. The state also committed to starting waterconservation programs in the basins.

New York was supposed to have implemented both initiatives by

December 2010, but the Legislature didn’t pass the bills in time. This session, Republican Senator Mark Grisanti of Buffalo, and Democratic Assembly member Robert Sweeney of Suffolk County are sponsoring bills that would meet those goals.

State and local environmental organizations are backing the bills.

When members of the Rochester Sierra Club’s Great Lakes Committee went to Albany for the Great Lakes lobby day earlier this spring, they asked legislators to support the bills, says committee cochair Robbyn McKie-Holzworth.

“The Great Lakes are not an infinite source of water,” says June Summers, president of the Genesee Valley Audubon Society.

The Great Lakes ecosystems depend on consistent water levels, Summers says.

An action alert from Citizens Campaign for the Environment says that the Great Lakes replenish at a rate of 1 percent each year. If withdrawals exceed that amount, water levels will drop.

Eleven for school board, so far

City Council supports GENDA

The Rochester City School District is at a crucial point. Its superintendent is leaving, student performance is generally dismal, and drastic budget cuts look likely.

Yet there are, as of this point, 11 possible candidates for four open school board seats this year: a good sign that city residents haven’t given up on the school district. It’s not yet known who will appear on the ballot. It’s too early to pass petitions and the Monroe County Democratic Committee won’t nominate candidates until its May 19 convention.

The candidates have appeared before seven of 11 city committees; the remaining four committees hold about 40 percent of the citywide weighted vote. Those four will meet before the Democratic convention, says Adam Bello, executive director of the Monroe County Democratic Committee.

The board’s four incumbents — Allen Williams, Willa Powell, Melisza Campos, and Malik Evans — have collected the most votes from committee members so far. The incumbents were the top vote-getters in four of the committees.

Seven other people say they are running, and they have all appeared before the committees. They are: • Howard Eagle, a retired city school district teacher, community activist,

and district parent. Eagle is part of the Community Education Task Force Slate for Educational Change, a group of district parents and community activists that includes Mary Adams and Wallace Smith.

• Mary Adams, a research nurse, district parent, and community activist.

• Wallace Smith, a former district employee.

• Mia Hodgins, an RIT graduate student and community activist. Hodgins was part of the Community Education Task Force Slate, but dropped off to run on her own.

• Ernest Flagler, a 14-year veteran of the Rochester Fire Department. Flagler has eight children in the district.

• Michael Mason, an independent contractor who serves legal papers for local attorneys. He’s also a district parent.

• Al Smith, a retired teacher for the city school district.

Beechwood bounce-back?

SUNDAY WORSHIP 11:00AM in the Sanctuary SUNDAY FORUM 9:50AM in the Shaw Room

Lee Wright, Director of Music Ministry Eastman School of Music, 2003

Congrats Lee on you Masters in Conducting from Ithaca!

121 N. Fitzhugh St. Rochester, NY 585.325.4000 downtownpresbyterian.org

Beechwood feels like a neighborhood that could go either way: revitalization and rebirth or stagnation and continued decline.

Webster Avenue, the gateway into Beechwood, is book-ended by pristine homes on one end, and the neighborhood’s crown jewel, the $36.5-million Ryan Center on the other.

But the picture darkens when you drive some of the streets off and around Webster.

There are sporadic vacant and poorlymaintained homes — some appear close to disintegration — and just a general feeling of apathy and disinvestment.

“Have I seen improvement? Yes, I have,” says Carol Wheeler, manager of housing for the City of Rochester. “Is there more to be done? Yes, there is.”

Beechwood, located on Rochester’s east side near Bay and Goodman, is one of the city’s four Focused Investment Strategy areas. (The others are DeweyDriving Park, Jefferson Avenue, and the Marketview Heights neighborhoods.)

The idea is to concentrate resources into these areas over a three- to fiveyear period to significantly improve the neighborhoods through exterior improvements to houses, clean-up of vacant lots, community engagement, demolition of vacant properties, and other programs and initiatives.

The goal, Wheeler says, is for the neighborhoods to be self-sustaining after FIS. “It’s up to the neighbors to take it from there,” she says. “That’s exactly what we want it to be.”

City officials, representatives of neighborhood groups, and others toured Beechwood recently to see first hand the progress made through FIS. “It’s huge,” says George Moses, executive director of North East Area Development.

“All you have to do is drive down the street.

Webster Avenue was a dilapidated street.

The picture has changed.”

NEAD is construction manager for owner-occupied properties getting FIS money in Beechwood.

Wheeler says that if FIS is successful, crime will drop and assessed value and private investment will increase “If we see those things,” she says, “we’ll try to move on to other neighborhoods.”

Beechwood was chosen for FIS about

three years ago. City officials picked City

neighborhoods that seemed ripe for transformation, Wheeler says, and that had something to build on. In Beechwood’s case, it was the new homes on one end of Webster, Wheeler says, and the Ryan Center on the other. The center combines School 33, the Sully branch library, and a community center.

“We wanted to make sure we built on that major investment,” Wheeler said.

The primary targets for the Beechwood FIS are Webster Avenue and Rosewood Terrace, two of the neighborhood’s main arteries, which officials and neighbors hope will serve as a foundation for widespread revitalization and investment.

The foundation of FIS is an annual federal grant. The money is used to fixup dilapidated properties, tear down vacant homes, improve vacant lots, and other programs. Fifteen homes were redone in the first phase of the Beechwood FIS, Moses says.

Some of the plans for the next 12 months include street improvements and a landscaping plan But FIS is about more than bricks and mortar and other physical improvements, says Kyle Crandall, president of the Beechwood Neighborhood Coalition.

Additional programs and resources have been leveraged as a result of FIS, he says. Those include an RG&E program to upgrade the company’s equipment in some Beechwood back yards, and the introduction of Rochester Walks, an initiative “to get people in the neighborhood to live a healthier lifestyle,” Crandall says.

And a coalition from the Finger Lakes Health Systems Agency has developed a “playability plan” that identified, analyzed, and made recommendations for improvements to the places where Beechwood children play.

Apart from FIS, Crandall says, Beechwood neighbors pushed to

The work done in the Beechwood neighborhood through the Focused Investment program has transformed Webster Avenue, says Kyle Crandall, president of the Beechwood Neighborhood Coalition.

change nearly the entire neighborhood’s residential zoning to allow only singlefamily houses. Crandall says he hopes the effort will push owner-occupancy back up in Beechwood. Right now, he says, the rate is approximately 40 to 45 percent homeowners, and 55 to 60 percent rentals.

The neighborhood has also used zoning to reduce by about half the number of mini-markets in the area. At one time there were 26.

“You don’t want to penalize good business owners,” Crandall says. “So those who have mini-markets who are abiding by the law, cleaning up litter around their property, not allowing loitering, those are fine.”

Crandall says neighbors meet with potential new mini-market owners to discuss other possible options for the sites.

The key to Beechwood’s future is its

neighbors, most everyone agrees, because FIS won’t last forever. A strong emphasis is being placed on community organizing.

Physical improvements are important, Wheeler says, because

people need visible proof that things are changing for the better. But that’s not what makes a neighborhood.

What you really need, Wheeler says, is community engagement. That means, she says, that people are taking care of their properties, getting to know their neighbors, encouraging people to move in to the neighborhood, and addressing troubled properties quickly so the problems don’t spread.

NEAD’s Moses says he is collaborating with the Beechwood neighborhood group and Action for a Better Community to get residents more involved with their neighborhood.

“We’re going door to door, and we’re having conversations,” he says. “It’s not a program, because this has to be natural.”

Residents are also being educated on homeownership, maintenance, and other things that will benefit themselves and the community as a whole, Moses says.

“Sometimes it comes naturally,” Wheeler says. “Sometimes people need guidance.”

COVER STORY | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

AFTER BRIZARD: UNFINISHED BUSINESS Jean-Claude Brizard became, in his 3 1/2 years at the helm of the city school district, a key leader in the Rochester community.

While he has no shortage of critics — some are undoubtedly eager to see him leave — Brizard also has a strong league of supporters who are sorry to see him go. He’s headed to Chicago in a matter of days to lead that city’s school system.

Brizard isn’t naïve. He says he knew when he came to Rochester that he had accepted a difficult job. The problems in city schools are deeply rooted, as a succession of superintendents have stated in recent years. The Rochester school district needs to undergo long-overdue changes, Brizard says.

How the district is governed and how teachers and principals are evaluated and retained must dramatically improve, Brizard said in a recent interview. This will take time, strong leadership, and greater community and parental involvement, he said, because the forces to uphold the status quo are formidable.

Brizard also said that poverty in Rochester makes life excruciatingly difficult for many students and their families. But, he said, the public and the educational community have treated it as if it is the obstacle to student success. The school district cannot easily fix the city’s concentration of poverty, he said, but educating students cannot be delayed until the problem is resolved.

At age 47, Brizard leaves Rochester with a national reputation as a leader in the education reform movement, and he is unapologetic about his support for charter schools. But Brizard’s critics describe him as a Broad Foundation radical ushering in the privatization of public schools.

And they question what Brizard says are his accomplishments in Rochester’s schools: a 12-point increase in the district’s graduation rate, phasing out low-performing schools and opening new schools to give parents better choices, reducing the district’s long-term suspension rate, and increasing the number of students graduating with Regents diplomas.

10 City MAY 4-10, 2011

Although some members of the Rochester school board say they will continue with most of the reforms Brizard initiated, already there are calls to undo much of his work, and he hasn’t even left the city. That said, it’s undeniable that the problems in city schools are serious — so serious that many people believe they threaten Rochester’s economic health.

In a recent interview, Brizard talked about mayoral control, his struggles with the teachers union, problems with the school board, and the need to hold principals and teachers more accountable for better student achievement.

The following is an edited version of that interview.

CITY: What’s your honest assessment of the city school district? What are the most serious problems and how are those fixed?

Brizard: This situation was not created by the city school district [alone]. It was created by a lot of people over a long period. What you see in city schools was created by the suburbs, City Hall, and the infrastructure all around us. So as a community, we created this and it will take the entire community to fix it.

This won’t happen in three years, so people have to be patient. A lot of the gains are not always measurable. For example, how do you measure cultural change? You really can’t.

But you asked how to fix this, and my God, there is so much. You want the best principals in the world. We have people who became principals who should never have been in that chair. Don’t get me wrong: we have some talented people in the city school district. But we have people who should never have been made principals.

Second, the way we recruit teachers, retain them, and move them out needs to be completely revamped. We have a model that hasn’t changed in 30 or 40 years. We need to look at how and what we pay teachers. We don’t pay good teachers enough. The whole human capital piece needs to be very different.

And third, [former city schools

interim superintendent] Bill Cala talks about the problems caused by Rochester’s concentration of poverty. He’s right; it’s a huge problem. But to undo it now is almost impossible. It can be fixed, but to do it will take a couple of generations, and the way you fix it is by giving kids an excellent education.

At the same time, we need to stop allowing people to believe that poverty is to blame for all of the district’s problems, that it is the reason why many students don’t do well in school. Yes, poverty is a problem. It makes things much more difficult. But the way you fix this is through a much longer school day and a much longer school year, maybe not for every kid, but certainly for those in need.

If you look at some of the charter schools like Rochester Prep, they don’t do this in five hours a day. They’re working eight to nine hours a day. Some kids go to school six days a week, and they go well into July.

So there are infrastructure problems with human capital and the amount of time students in the district receive instruction that prevent us from doing really well, and need to be fixed.

Moving beyond the school district, we have a lot of people on the outside who have part of the solution, but are not engaged well enough. There are a lot of people in City Hall and the school district who don’t work well together, and that needs to go away. We’re all in this together, and we need City Hall and the school board to work together in meaningful collaboration. There are issues with youth development, poverty, and parenting in Rochester, and everyone has to work together to solve these problems.

If we can find the flexibility to allow this kind of work to happen, we’ll see growth in exponential numbers in terms of student achievement. And over time, as kids finish high school and go on to post-secondary education, we begin to change families. And we begin to reduce Rochester’s poverty.

The last thing I would do if I really had the leverage is to ensure a four-year tuition paid for any kid who can get into a college.

We’ve got to give high-school kids a future beyond high school, whether it’s college or the world of work. If kids have access to a middle-class wage, they become very different kids.

You were quoted as saying that obstructionism by some of the board members was a factor in your decision to leave. But you also credited board members who supported your reforms.

I don’t think it was obstructionism. I think what bothered me a lot was the infighting, and the fact that they kept butting heads. Sometimes it was four against three, sometimes two against five. It’s not the reason I’m leaving. But it was very distracting. And it distracted my team from the work they have to do.

Malik [Evans] has to take much more of a leadership role in this, as the board president.

A lot of the people on my team are here because they believe in the mission. They believe in the work that we’re trying to do here. But when you’re sitting there at a board meeting until 2 in the morning, people get tired of it. They’re sitting there asking themselves, “Why am I here?”

Van [school board member Van White] said I shouldn’t make that kind of comment publicly because a lot of times they are arguing about things I was pushing for. And that’s true in some cases, but not true in other cases.

As a recent example, I had a senior staff member berated by a board member. And the next day, the staff member considered quitting. He said, “I don’t need this.” When you have people that you’ve recruited who get tired of stuff like that, you get discouraged, because it’s a distraction. You can’t do the work.

Four school board seats are up this year.

going to the polls? What do they need to look for in a board member?

I would recommend that they look for a board member who really understands school reform, and that the person won’t make decisions based on political expediency.

And that they look for people who are committed to kids and not their political future. They have board members right now who are like that: Melisza Campos, for example. Melisza cares about kids. She’s not interested in becoming mayor or pushing for some other political ambition.

There are some who are running for school board on an anti-testing platform, and that’s ridiculous. What are they going to do as a school board member, change federal law? I don’t think so.

We’re in an era of accountability, and that’s not going to change. So there are some who are running right now who are unrealistic and have a somewhat misguided platform. And if these people are allowed to be board members, they’re going to wreak havoc, and they’re going to drive away good leaders.

At one point you encouraged board members to consider professional development training, but some were resistant to the idea. In your experience, what makes a school board effective? And what specifically is the role of the board?

They should lead. And they should support the superintendent.

They have to lead in terms of policy development. But they should not get

involved in minutia or the day-to dayoperations. There is a solid line that shouldn’t be crossed. The superintendent can inform policy, but shouldn’t create policy.

And the board should lead by consensus.

When the superintendent is making a decision, the person should be supported in what needs to be done.

Otherwise, you’re never going to get to a level of sustainability. If you watch other districts, good districts where there is synergy between the administration and a solid board, you’ll see longevity and sustainability of the work.

During the discussion about mayoral control, you stayed fairly neutral and didn’t reveal your position. Now you’re going to Chicago where mayoral control is the system of governance. Is it your preference? And is mayoral control the better path for Rochester?

Well, I would be lying and two-faced if I said I didn’t have an opinion, but I’m still going to refrain from sharing it. And I’ll tell you why.

For one thing, mayoral control is not the panacea to Rochester’s problems. And neither is board governance. We need good governance. And it is a decision that belongs with the community.

The discussion about mayoral control in Rochester got lost. There wasn’t enough discussion about its merits, or why we shouldn’t do it. Instead we kept referring to New York City. continues on page 12

AFTER BRIZARD continues from page 11

Arlene, Texas, and, until very recently, Atlanta were two good examples of what great board governance can produce in terms of results for kids. Arlene is still doing pretty well.

Atlanta, unfortunately, unraveled in the last year. The board makeup changed, a good superintendent retired, and they went back into oblivion. When you have a dysfunctional board, you get a revolving door of people.

To go back to Rochester, there are some real positives and there are some negatives to watch out for. The biggest concern is you don’t want to get caught up in political infighting. I think Tom Richards is great and I think he is going to be an amazing mayor. I also like Bob Duffy a lot.

But the question is what kind of infrastructure is Rochester going to build so that it is not about the person who is mayor so the work can be sustained over time?

You have to go beyond people and build a foundation for governance.

You’ve talked a lot recently about your differences with Rochester Teachers Association President Adam Urbanski.

Would you say that the superintendent comanages the Rochester school district with the RTA president?

If you had to ask me to point to one problem that soured our relationship over time, that would be it.

Adam has had a reputation for being the co-superintendent for a very long time. Every superintendent who came in has tried to challenge that a little, and over time stepped back and allowed him to do what he wanted to do. I guess I refused to.

Was the friction caused by pushing for some of the reforms you wanted?

I don’t think that was really it. Not dismissing the fact that the largest bargaining unit in the district has to be at the table in the discussions, one thing I said to Adam was that I have four bargaining units. I’ve got to engage all of them. You can’t be the only one here making major decisions with us.

They should be here, too. And he got angry. I think that’s where our relationship soured.

I believe in engagement, but I didn’t believe I needed his permission. That’s where things broke down. Adam was used to being in charge, and when I pushed back on that, he got really angry with me.

You started meeting with groups of teachers and then, as it came time to negotiate the RTA contract, Adam asked you stop. Why? If you can’t communicate directly with teachers without going through the union’s gatekeepers, how do you build a relationship with them?

Right. How do you have another voice explaining the policies without the message being filtered through the RTA? It’s a legitimate question. Adam helped us create the small group meetings with teachers. But after about a year, he then asked me to stop.

He said he didn’t want to have to accuse me of negotiating with individual teachers, so we stopped. That was an immense mistake, and one I will never repeat again.

Adam called teacher merit pay a bad thing. But most teachers we explained this to said, “Yeah, I would like this.”

We had a proposal for compensation that would take teachers to $80,000 in 15 years.

Right now they can get to $62,000 in 15 years.

We’ve been talking about radically increasing the pay for teachers over the same period of time. And that was being pushed back by the RTA. But the rank-and-file teachers loved it.

Our proposal about teacher evaluations is about lifting the profession. It’s not about firing teachers, but we’ve not been able to that message out. And we can’t negotiate [union contracts] in public.

Are the majority of city school principals and teachers high-quality professionals? If you could create your dream team, would you find it in the city school district?

When I got here, I would say that 30 to 40 percent of the principals were really good. I think maybe we have gone up to 70 percent. I’ve had much more direct contact with them, watching them at work, and talking with them individually.

The teachers I honestly don’t know about, because we’ve never had a good teacherevaluation process in place. We’ve never evaluated half of them, which is something we tried to fix over the last year. That means changing the whole structure. So it’s hard to say.

But the one thing I did notice when I got here was that the vast majority of teachers are tenured in Rochester. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? We still don’t know because we’ve not had that kind of robust evaluation system.

And this is why I think it was misguided of Adam to push back on our evaluation system.

Do you believe some teachers shouldn’t be working in the district?

Absolutely. I’m sure of it.

At the same time, there are unsung heroes who should be paid at least $20,000 more a year for the work that they are doing.

But what teachers are afraid of, and rightly so, is that if you have an evaluation system that is not objective, you’re going to toss out people who are effective, who are good teachers. Or they are going to be maligned and pushed out for the wrong reasons. If I were a teacher, I would be terrified about that, too.

The whole system is broken. And it’s not just in Rochester; it’s in districts across the country.

You’ve been critical of the seniority issue with respect to teachers, or what some people refer to as “last in-first out.” Typically the newest teachers to be hired are by state law the first to be cut. Are you saying that you prefer newer teachers?

In teaching, the more you’ve been doing it the better you get. Now not everyone gets better with time. But if you train well and develop well, you improve. So no, everything being equal, most senior teachers are better than teachers who are new to the field.

But if you keep slicing off your bottom group of teachers from the pool, you’re not building a team. You’re not creating sustainability. You’re discouraging a lot of good young people from entering the profession. And that’s my problem with it.

If you’re just dismissing by seniority and not looking at quality, that’s not fair. I may have a teacher with 20 years of experience who’s lousy, and I may have a teacher with three years of experience who’s amazing. And you can’t even look at the quality factor.

Some board members have made an issue of diversifying the teaching staff and hiring

Urbanski responds RTA President Adam Urbanski was asked to respond to some of the statements that city schools Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard made in the main story. This is what he said: “There is nothing that I have done that would fall into the category of co-managing the district. I am disappointed he would say that. I believe that it would be difficult for him to find an example to support that allegation — not just difficult, impossible.

I would be happy enough if he did a good job of managing the district. Just because I didn’t automatically comply with his requests or his decisions doesn’t mean that there is comanagement of the district.

I have always, always been in favor of all of the bargaining units being equally involved.

I don’t get angry. I never got angry with him.

12 City MAY 4-10, 2011

Whenever someone doesn’t agree with JeanClaude Brizard or someone serves as checks and balances on his authority, he views that as anger.

I think Jean-Claude tried to drive a wedge between teachers and their union, and apparently he is trying to drive a wedge between the unions.

I never asked him to stop his meetings with teachers. He used meetings with small groups of teachers as an end-run against all teachers. For example, we conducted a survey of teachers about safety and discipline. He dismissed the results of that survey because that’s not what he heard talking to the small groups of teachers. I stopped supporting his meetings. I never asked him to stop. He had the right to do that. But I felt he was disingenuous in how he used the meetings against the union and against teachers.

Jean-Claude’s arguments that teachers support him and that his problems were mainly with me were put to rest with a vote of no confidence from the teachers. About 2,900 teachers out of 3,500 voted, and 94.6 percent of those voted no confidence.

That speaks for itself. He is still in denial that his problem was not so much with me as it was with teachers.

He thought that by raising the amount of pay, teachers would support merit pay. And I know differently. I know teachers opposed merit pay no matter what the amount. So when I told him that teachers opposed merit pay, he said, “But you don’t know how much money we’re talking about.” I said, “We’re not arguing about the price, we’re arguing about whether or not teachers are for sale.”

more teachers of color. Doesn’t last in-firstout undercut that idea?

Yes. It’s [diversification of teaching staff] never going to happen. We’re recruiting minority candidates, and the earliest recruits will be the ones that have to go.

A member of my staff was in the Brooklyn Marriot recruiting teachers and looking for minority teachers. [Other school districts were recruiting at the event, as well.] And she said the lines for the charter schools were out the door, and the line for the district had very few people. Do you know why? The charters can guarantee you a contract. You’re guaranteed a job.

But if the district says, “Yeah, I’ll hire you, but if teacher so-and-so bumps you and takes your position, I may need to let you go,” no one is going to pick up his or her life in New York City or anywhere else and come to Rochester with no guarantee of a job.

I had a number of [acting] principals and I was going to appoint them permanently, and they were terrified. If they become permanent and a school is closed, the principal in that school can bump them and take their job. Can you imagine one of my not-so-competent principals bumping out a principal like Anibal Soler at East High School? You can’t hire someone like Anibal, who turns a troubled school around, and then he gets bumped by someone who will run it down. He’s new. He’s a young principal.

How can we do that to him?

I’m often criticized for my experience at the Broad Institute. But my beliefs have been shaped by my own experience as a teacher. As a new teacher, I almost didn’t come back. If it wasn’t for an assistant principal who protected me and saved my job, I would have been unemployed and newly married with a family. I would never have come back into education.

T’Hani Pantoja, the principal at the Robert Brown High School of Construction Design, recruited teachers for that brand new school. If the layoffs go as planned, she will lose 70 percent of the teachers she recruited.

This has nothing to do with Broad.

How do you make a better school? You can’t build sustainability from this.

What about removing ineffective teachers?

The process will change beginning next year with the new state law [requiring evaluations for teachers], which is a result of Race to the Top. People think this is something that will go away if I’m not superintendent. I have been pushing for it, but it has nothing to do with me.

And there will be more charter schools coming, too, like it or not. So you either learn how to work with them or watch them proliferate around you.

You’ve started the process of closing some troubled schools, and you’ve opened new ones. But we tried that before you arrived.

In fact, the smaller schools you’re closing at Franklin were put there for the same reasons you’re opening new ones. Why will these new schools be better?

There’s a difference, and I’ll tell you why.

If the board allows a good charter school in Franklin, and I agree that not all of them are good, but if we have a good charter school in Franklin, and you have Vanguard Collegiate and Integrated Arts and Technology High Schools, and the district keeps the bureaucracy from killing the schools, Hudson Avenue and Norton Street will become a different block. I can promise that. There are already two amazing principals there. If you add a good charter school, you’ll have three good entities there.

You’re a vocal supporter of charter schools. Some of Rochester’s charter schools seem to be doing well. Yet critics say the population of those schools isn’t representative of the district, that the charter parents tend to be more engaged, and the charter schools dismiss students who misbehave or don’t do the work. If this is true, is it fair to compare charter schools to traditional urban public schools?

Charters cannot toss out kids. If they do, they’re breaking their charter with the State of New York. Parents of charter students are not always more engaged, though you can make an argument for selection bias because in some cases parents have to engage in a lottery. But we haven’t had massive lotteries in Rochester like they have in New York City.

People argue that charters are no more successful than public schools and across the country, taken as a whole, that’s true.

But in New York, that hasn’t been true. It is mostly a fair comparison and charters do the work, by the way, for few dollars.

But my support is for quality schools, not necessarily charters. Anyone who can do a good job, I’ll give it to them because there are places where we are failing tremendously. For me, it’s about bringing choice to parents in poor neighborhoods.

If you are a parent of means, you can move. If you don’t, you’re stuck.

Dining garlic with a nice cumin and cilantro accent.

Even the guacamole ($3.50) is surprising, bringing a lot more flavor to the party than the usual bland coolness of avocado and sour cream. Bits of finely chopped tomato, a little onion, cilantro, and garlic, with a judicious application of salt to tie it all together, make this guacamole stand out.

Fish tacos have finally arrived in Rochester.

Almost a decade ago, I first encountered the wonder and mystery that is the Bajastyle fish taco on a visit to San Diego. A small portion of fried fish, topped with shredded cabbage, a creamy mayonnaisebased sauce, and a generous dollop of salsa verde all wrapped up in a soft corn tortilla, fish tacos are among the cheapest and most ubiquitous street foods on the West Coast.

You can find them at taco stands and some taco trucks, high-end restaurants offer dressed-up versions, and even fast-food restaurants have made a killing selling their own takes on this street treat. But until now, you couldn’t find a decent fish taco in Rochester: the local offerings tended toward grilled rather than fried fish (almost always

dry by the time it got to the table), added unnecessary frills like red-cabbage slaw, or topped their creations with red tomatobased salsas or (shudder) yuppie salsas made with things like mango and pineapple.

Happily, in 2007 California transplant Bernard Matthews brought his encyclopedic knowledge of Cali-Mex food to Rochester along with his wife and three kids. Matthews is a music producer by trade, but he also has extensive experience in the restaurant world, and — as I learned one afternoon while I was anonymously having lunch at his restaurant — a Zagat-like command of the locations and types of taco trucks and stands throughout southern California. Drawing on his experience and expertise, Matthews opened up Tala Vera California-Mexican Cantina, a restaurant whose back door could conceivably open on the border crossing at Tijuana, late last year.

On a recent Thursday night, Tala Vera was in

fiesta mode. The bar was doing brisk business, and a retirement party complete with a ribald emcee was in full swing in the restaurant’s surprisingly large side dining room. With such a crowd in the place, a three-top could

conceivably get lost in the shuffle, but I’m pleased to report that that wasn’t the case at all. Instead, Tala Vera’s wait staff made us feel like we were the only people in the world, and our waitress, Jessica, treated my 6-year-old dining companion like a king.

Cali-Mex food is different from TexMex, but there’s not much difference when you look at the Tala Vera menu. There are still burritos and enchiladas, nachos and quesadillas. Chips and salsa — both excellent, the salsa zippy and flavorful, the chips thick cut and freshly fried — are still the first things to hit the table. The differences only become apparent when your food arrives. A plate of enchiladas, for instance, looks not unlike what you’d get elsewhere, but the enchilada sauce is a deeper red, and once you taste it you’ll realize that it is homemade and full of complex, smoky flavor with more than a little heat on the finish. Stuffed with intensely flavored shredded beef or chicken that has apparently been stewed in a delicious salsa verde, these verge on greatness ($15).

The refried beans, too, look familiar, but they also hold a surprise: the smooth puree is redolent of deeply caramelized onions and

are good, but Tala Vera’s tacos are nearly without peer in the Rochester area. When I’m on the road, I’ve been known to follow landscaping trucks at lunchtime, hoping that they will lead me to a taco stand I haven’t found yet. At Tala Vera, the process is much simpler, and you can get an order of three “street tacos” without having to call on your high-school Spanish at all.

Street tacos are relatively small things — an ounce or two of meat heaped on a double layer of warm corn tortillas and topped with the veggies and some sort of salsa or hot sauce. Matthews serves his with a bit of salsa cruda (a term that’s roughly interchangeable with pico de gallo) scattered on top and a wedge of lime on the side ($11.50, $3.50 each a la carte). The chicken, featuring the same tomatillo-stewed mixture that goes in the enchiladas, is excellent. The meat is still moist and tender, the sauce around it alive with pepper and the limey citrus burst of tomatillos. The carne asada is also superb.

Marinated steak, probably dry rubbed with chili powder and cumin, sporting a flavorful salty crust and a big, beefy flavor that goes well with the raw veggies on top of it. But I’m a sucker for pork, and the carnitas — slow-roasted pork shoulder — does not disappoint. Cumin, garlic, and pork fat make for a lovely, if bigamous, marriage.

But it’s the fish tacos you should be coming here for. Available a la carte (a nice supplement to the basket of three tacos you just had for lunch, $4.50) or as an entirely separate dish (three to an order along with rice and beans, $13.50), Matthews has the formula just right. Lightly battered cod fried to a gorgeous golden brown outside, tender and flaky within, served with a scattering of rough-cut cabbage, a creamy white sauce enriched with a whisper of heat (maybe a bit of chipotle powder in the mix?), and a generous bowl of deep green and fragrant salsa verde on the side.

Take a sip of your Tecate or Presidente beer, close your eyes, and bite into your taco. You can almost feel the hot sun of the Baja beating down on your head, and hear the sound of mariachi music and the crash of surf in the distance. rochestercitynewspaper.com City 15

[ review ] by frank de blase

[ POP/ROCK ] The Demos are Rochester’s masters of

pop-rock harmony. And I don’t just mean two voices separated in fifths, I’m talking about interwoven, serpentine melody lines that rise as gentle as smoke and hit you like a sledgehammer. The band recently returned from Memphis, where it recorded its new album, “Lovely,” at Ardent Studios. The album was produced by Rochester pop sensation Mikey Jukebox and mixed by John Hampton. The Radium Girls, Wolf Ram Heart, and The Dads also perform. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Underground Experimental Music Scene Sunday, May 8 Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. 8 p.m. | $5-$7 | 454-2966 [ EXPERIMENTAL ] First you get to see them on the

screen, then they do it live. Rochester filmmaker Jenny Viera’s documentary “Rochester’s Underground Experimental Music Scene” features artists like Pegacide, Bogs Visionary Orchestra, Tuurd, Tumul, and Fargus Guy — most of which will perform live after the screening. Through interviews and live performances, the film explores sub categories of the genre like ambient, harsh noise, free jazz, and improvisational — all styles that, in their search for the un-played and the yet-unheard, frequently stumble upon something wonderful. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Friday night I cruised the crowded Alexander Street sidewalk scene, making my way to Dub Land Underground — a musical oasis amidst a desert of cover bands and throbbing disco (call it what you like, it’s still disco). The Pheromones were on stage making the best of the tilefloor slap-back and mid-rangy sound.

It was a pity, because these guys shine within their intricacies as much as their beats and hooks. The guitars will lay out a meaty riff and the drums second that emotion before the melody and the band’s combined musicality takes it all into space. It’s like watching Billy Gibbons morph into Lou Reed morphing into Pink Floyd. The band held a goodsized, diverse (footwear ranged from Birkenstocks to army boots) crowd.

The big to-do Saturday night had to be The Pietasters show at Water Street Music Hall with guests H.R. of Bad Brains and Rochester’s brassy, ballsy, bouncy, ska darlings, Mrs. Skannotto. The Mrs. packed as much rock and soul as they possibly could without effecting liftoff or hang time. This band is good for your joints.

The Pietasters took the stage in high gear and didn’t downshift for more than

an hour. Like so many contemporary ska bands, The Pietasters make the genre its own with little dalliances and detours. This band is clearly influenced by Motown as much as Studio One. H.R. and his band Human Rights were the meat in this ska sandwich.

The music was solid mid-tempo reggae elegantly laid out with H.R.’s whimsical charm and humility up front. This created a beautiful tension, like a storm brewing, as folks in attendance knew this artist’s ferocity and capabilities as proven in his tenure with hardcore-reggae forefathers, Bad Brains.

His current band — a seasoned assemblage, including keyboardist Pablo Fiasco, guitarist Stephen Balthrop, drummer Grant Garretson, and bassist Jerry Barrett — sparkled with an equally sublime intensity, that galloped in the straightaways while pulling back the reins in the mellow spots. H.R. had the crowd enthralled, especially those holding out for some Bad Brains. And though H.R. stuck primarily to his newer stuff, the hardcore fans got their wish with a few gems like “Re-Ignition” from the band’s “I Against I” album.

Fantastic show.

Kate Davis started her training as a classical violinist, but switched to jazz bass. Now she’s experimenting with more modern songwriting styles. PHOTO BY JESSICA HILL

Natural selection Kate Davis Saturday, May 7 Lutheran Church of the Reformation, 111 N. Chestnut St. 8 p.m. | $20-$30 | ExodusToJazz.com [ PROFILE ] BY RON NETSKY

First there was Tal Wilkenfeld, the superb bassist-singer in Herbie Hancock’s band at last summer’s Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival. Then Esperanza Spalding, another great bassist-singer (and XRIJF alum), won this year’s Best New Artist Grammy. Add Kristin Korb and Rochester’s Katie Ernst to the list and it’s clear: the women of our planet are evolving into bass-playing divas.

If you doubt my theory, check out Kate Davis at this Saturday’s Exodus to Jazz concert.

At 20, Davis is turning heads with her extraordinary bass chops and gorgeous vocals.

She’s currently studying jazz bass at Manhattan School of Music, but avoiding voice teachers.

“I’m kind of doing my own thing,” says Davis, “but there are a lot of things that transfer over just from learning music that I can apply to the voice.” Of course, she does listen to and learn from her favorite vocalists: Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, June Christy, and Julie London.

Her approach seems to be working; on her new CD, “Live At Jimmy Mak’s,” her tone, inflection, and phrasing are impeccable.

Growing up in Portland, Oregon, Davis was well on her way as a classical violinist when, at 13, she saw a young woman 18 City MAY 4-10, 2011

playing bass and thought it looked cool.

Image soon gave way to substance.

“The differences between classical and jazz music became very clear to me,” says Davis. “[Jazz] music had this more modern feel to it that I wasn’t used to when playing in orchestras and playing solo pieces. There was a freedom to the movement of the people.”

She put down the violin and picked up the bass. It was not an easy transition, but, “I knew music, I knew scales and I knew how things should sound,” says Davis. “So I learned scales on the bass and how to play jazz music and then I practiced.” Her dad, who had played drums in a rock band, bought a drum set and played with her until he couldn’t keep up.

Although she admired the late Scott LaFaro (Bill Evans’ bassist), she listened mostly to piano players and singers. “I wasn’t really drawn to bass players because I was drawn to melody and harmony, two things a bass player usually doesn’t have anything to do with,” says Davis. “I’ve learned a lot from other musicians and other styles that I’ve applied to the bass.”

In 2008, while studying at the Port Townsend Jazz Workshop during a jazz festival, bandleader John Clayton asked her to perform in the main-stage concert, something no student had ever done. “I was nervous but at the same time it was an opportunity,” says Davis. “It made me more confident.”

Before long she was playing with the top musicians in Portland and recording an album with Portland’s legendary jazz artist, Dave Frishberg. “I was really nervous because

I was singing his songs and I know that great people over the years have sung his songs,” says Davis, “but he didn’t have any problems with my interpretations. He was great fun to record with — a quirky man, very funny, with a wry sense of humor.”

Three thousand miles from home, Davis

is enjoying her new life in New York City.

“You don’t have to worry about how you’re perceived in the world like you do in a small suburb,” she says. “I feel this amazing freedom to just be who I am and who I want to be without any pressure from people I went to high school with.”

She’s also discovering new musical frontiers, including songwriting. “I’ve been interested in branching out and seeing what else works, because jazz music was a reaction to a time and most of it happened a long time ago. To me it’s hard to justify writing music in the style of something that I can’t wholeheartedly relate to, in the sense that I wasn’t there when people were writing songs that reflected things happening in the 1940’s.”

“There’s just something that is untouchable about so many pieces in the Great American Songbook and I was kind of deterred by that. I have this ever-growing interest in applying those rules to music now and maybe making it a little more contemporary sounding or making it so that people of this time will listen and not think, ‘Oh, that’s jazz,’ but, ‘Oh, that’s a great song.’”

Davis is currently obsessed with Jeff Buckley, a singer-songwriter who died at the age of 30 in 1997 after recording just one studio album.

“He has this incredible gift of voice and this amazing palette for his music.

He took from everything and created something that was very unique. I look at him and think, wow, that was quite an accomplishment. If I can even come close to creating music that someone can’t pin down and say, ‘Oh, that’s such and such,’ I’ll be a happy person.”

But Davis has gotten some negative reactions when she’s deviated from traditional jazz, or even played an electric bass. “People are like, ‘Where’s your old stuff?’ I guess that’s to be expected whenever you try something new. I’ve learned a lot here about artistic development and how you can’t just stay the same forever.”

On her album, in the midst of many jazz standards is a stunning version of a contemporary song, Rufus Wainwright’s “Leaving For Paris.” To Davis, “jazz” has become an elusive term.

“If you say I’m a jazz musician, what does that mean anymore? I’m in a jazzhistory class and we talk about this all the time. It’s like jazz died in the 1970’s when Miles Davis wanted to play like Jimi Hendrix. It’s a weird concept, because all those guys went on to do their own thing.”

“But the music we play in school sometimes is the old-school, traditional jazz, and the jazz my friends go out and gig on is crazy hip-hop influenced, odd-meter, intellectual jazz, and they’re two different things. Then there’s me, sitting in my room trying to be like a singer-songwriter. It’s a strange dynamic in New York.”

LATIN | Latin Landscapes Trio

The Latin Landscapes Trio is José Manuel Lezcano, guitar; Paul Schliffer, flute; and Matthew Shubin, bassoon. And they bring an interesting combination of works by Lezcano, Hector Berlioz, Heitor Villa-Lobos, J.S. Bach, and Manuel de Falla.

Before you question the combination of composers, do a little research. It turns out that Villa-Lobos (1887-1959) wrote a nine-piece suite titled “Bachianas Brasilleiras” through which he used Brazilian folk music to stylize Bach. And de Falla (1876-1946) is frequently paired at concerts with Berlioz and Debussy. Proceeds will benefit the Rochester Folk Art Guild Scholarship Program, connecting craftsmen in clothing, graphic design, pottery, weaving, and woodworking.

At its peak, Stone Temple Pilots was one of the best modernrock outfits of the 90’s. Nothing could stop STP except STP. By 2001, after an eight-times platinum debut, 16 singles on the Billboard rock charts (six going all the way to No. 1), and a Grammy, the band entered a period it refers to as “suspended animation.” Singer Scott Weiland did the Velvet Revolver thing, the rest of the band did the Talk Show thing, but none measured up to STP. The band re-emerged in 2008 with a bit of a rocky start — I saw the show at FLCC and it came off as four guys on stage instead of one band. But now the band is back in earnest with a slightly more Zen attitude. A new album is set to drop later this month. And even if it doesn’t go platinum, there’s still that awesome back catalogue to get you off.

INDIE ROCK | Manchester Orchestra

Preparing to release its third official full-length album next week, Manchester Orchestra brings its string-infused indie rock to Water Street Music Hall. The album, “Simple Math,” is the band’s first attempt at a concept album, telling a story that mirrors lead singer Andy Hull’s own coming of age. Though the Atlanta-based five-piece takes its name from the musically rich English city, the group’s music leans much more toward the southern-fried end of the rock ‘n’ roll spectrum than it does any of their Mancunian counterparts. Australian duo An Horse also performs.

Manchester Orchestra plays Saturday, May 7, 8 p.m. at Water Street Music Hall, 204 N. Water St. $15-$17. 5463887, ticketmaster.com. — BY ANDY KLINGENBERGER Old School R&B. Elite Bar & Grill, 398 W Main St. 5278720. 9 p.m. Call for tix.

Making a Scene [ THE SCENE ] BY MICHELLE INCLEMA

Scene Ultra Lounge recently opened in the East End, in the former Hush space adjacent to Anchor Bar. The nightlife scene

surrounding the East/Alexander intersection is ever-changing, and Scene hopes to continue that tradition with fresh ideas and an ambitious owner.

“We are trying to create a South Beach/Miami vibe here,” says owner Mike Collichio, who also owns the neighboring Anchor Bar. Scene’s atmosphere is like that of a big-city club, including multicolored lights flashing in time to music spun by a DJ, a wraparound bar, and private VIP areas.

“We want something more upscale to draw in an older crowd,” Collichio says.

I visited Scene on a Friday night. The club has two levels with 12 VIP tables available for bottle service. There are two entrances to the club, one that spills directly on to the dance floor and another with a red carpet outside the doorway. My friend and I entered via the red-carpet entrance, expecting a cover charge, as is characteristic for most clubs in the area. “No cover tonight,” said the security guard, explaining that Scene is usually no cover, save for certain special events. Per Scene’s website: “There is never a cover if you are dressed to impress.” Ladies and gentlemen of Rochester, take note.

Scene plays host to a range of events, from professional networking nights to special DJ performances. On Friday, May 6, Scene will present Roc Social, an invitation-only professional happy hour. Doors will open at 6 p.m., and the evening will include live music

by Jennifer Heieck, hors d’oeuvres, giveaways, and drink specials. On Saturday, May 14, Scene will present DJ Colleen Shannon,

dubbed “The World’s Sexiest DJ,” a former Playboy Playmate. Shannon will spin a mix of electronica, house, and Top 40.

When I visited the club, the music was supplied by DJ Designer Junkies, located at a private booth suspended over the dance floor. The music was primarily Top 40 club remixes such as Rihanna’s “S&M.” The crowd was varied, although it was mostly people in their 20s. Scene enforces a dress code of “fashionable dress and nightclub attire.” A few guys wore jeans, but all were paired with button-down shirts or a suit jacket.

“I have the best job in the whole world,” said club photographer Peter Maggipinto as he snapped pictures of women in minidresses vamping for the camera and men striking breakdancing poses. The patrons at Scene want to be seen, and can find their pictures posted regularly to the nightclub website or on Facebook.

The club’s upstairs level holds up to 80 people and is open during special events or can be reserved for private parties. There is a separate bar and tables, and overlooks the dance floor area, giving patrons a closer view of the multiple glass chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling.

Scene Ultra Lounge and Nightclub is located at 359 East Avenue and is open Thursdays through Saturdays, 9 p.m.-2 a.m. The club is open to women 18 and older, men 21+. For more information on upcoming events, photos, and more visit sceneultraloungeny.com or call 520-9008.

You can also find Scene on Facebook and Twitter. For an invitation to the Roc Social on May 6 e-mail event organizer Diane Gibson at dianegibson1278@yahoo.com.

Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 8th

360 Culver Road | 271-0610 Fri. 9-6, Sat. 9-4 26 City may 4-10, 2011

With 46 cast members, Geva Theatre Center’s irresistible production of Meredith Willson’s 1957 musical, “The Music Man,” is its largest in nearly 40 years of professional theater in Rochester. It’s an exercise in just how happy a non-stop hullabaloo can make an audience. Mark Cuddy’s affection for the material is evident in his direction of the sunny story of a con artist who finds love and redemption even though he isn’t looking for them, and who also gives the stodgy town of River City, Iowa, new life. It’s an all-American story about the surprises encountered in the pursuit of happiness, and is designed to make you open your heart to all the things a post-modern outlook sneers at. “The Music Man” is going to win you over because what it says about last chances is deeper than easy irony, especially when it’s portrayed with quick-stepping high jinx and scintillating good spirits. When it comes to this particular hokum, sign me up with the rubes.

Traveling salesman Professor Harold Hill (Rochester native John Bolton) is a free-spirited rascal who is always reinventing himself to fleece the suckers. If it also means seducing a town’s most desirable young woman, so much the better. This time the raffishly charming Hill is selling boy’s bands.

Once he convinces the locals that the town’s new pool table is the first step on the road to degradation, it won’t be long before he pockets the take from instruments, uniforms, and instruction books, and grabs the first train out of town. But he fails to reckon with town librarian Marion Paroo (Eastman School of Music graduate and Lotte Lenya Competition prize winner Analisa Leaming).

The story is familiar enough — decent small-town girl reforms city slicker as both resist the mutual attraction but eventually find true love — but it works here because Cuddy and the cast treat it as if it matters.

Musicals often create a make-believe world where what we wish for comes true, but it wouldn’t be possible without the singing and dancing, especially when they’re this good. Leaming in particular has a lovely, expressive voice in such songs as “Good Night, My Someone” and especially “Till There Was You” that conjure up the sweet simplicity of love ballads from the early 20th century. The ensemble singing in such

moved the play originally set in 1912 to 1957 because, as he explained, “It’s better set in the time [Willson] wrote it so we can enjoy a sense of nostalgia for a period that we can relate to.” Sorry, but that’s balderdash. Does that mean we also have to set “Oedipus Rex” in the 1950’s because none of us remembers ancient Greece?

The move results in small but jarring anachronisms as lyrics go racing by with references to largely forgotten demijohns, the race horse Dan Patch, and the joke book “Uncle Billy’s Whiz-Bang.” The good news is that most of the performances and the high-energy dancing to choreographer Peggy Hickey’s 1950’s-style balletic Broadway choreography soon make the update irrelevant.

The first act focuses almost entirely on Harold Hill as he wins over the town, but the second act is more introspective as Hill and Marion struggle to figure out what they truly want. Leaming’s performance is suitably straightforward, but we have to see Hill change. John Bolton has all of Hill’s bravura moves down pat, but in the first act he never fully projects the airy certainty and glib selfcontrol that define the con man. In the more realistic second act, that half step of distance helps to ground him more believably.

Skip Greer as the comic villain, Mayor Shinn, is effectively bombastic and bumptious, although Jennifer Smith as his wife, Eulalie, lacks the character’s mock superiority. As a result, the Mayor isn’t as sharply defined as he might have been.

Similarly, Cass Morgan’s failure to invest Mrs. Paroo with humor and determination weakens the important but loving tension between Marion and her mother over the daughter’s refusal to land a husband.

Don Kot provides lively musical direction, and Cuddy shows admirable restraint in guiding 9-year-old Kyle Mueller through a charmingly believable performance as Winthrop Paroo that was uncluttered by mugging or an overdose of saccharine.

G.W. Mercier’s impressively versatile set is a large open area defined by modules that glide on and off to occupy part of the stage — the Paroo’s back porch, the high-school auditorium, a foot bridge near the picnic ground, and especially the railroad car that becomes the setting for the classic opening number, the half-spoken, half-sung “Rock Island.” The fluidity of Mercier’s design, along with Thomas Munn’s precise lighting, helps to keep the show moving forward.

DANCE | Borinquen Dance 30th Anniversary

“As a member of the Borinquen Dance Theatre, I felt very strongly that I functioned not only as an artist, but as an ambassador for the Puerto Rican community,” said Luis Burgos, in a BDT press release. Burgos is commissioner of the city’s department of recreation and youth services and an original member of BDT, which will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a performance this weekend.

Borinquen Dance Theatre utilizes rigor of dance and vigorous performance, practice, and rehearsal schedules to shape strong minds and character in students, and many have moved on to high achievement, with careers in the entertainment industry, medicine, teaching.

Established in 1981 by creative director Nydia PadillaRodríguez, Borinquen Dance Theatre has become one of the region’s longest-standing cultural organizations committed to working with Latino and other youth in Rochester, and has been nationally recognized by the President’s Committee on the Arts & Humanities as one of the top after-school art programs for youth in the United States.

This Saturday, May 7, Hochstein Performance Hall (50 N. Plymouth Ave.) will host special alumni performances choreographed by Padilla-Rodriguez, as well as student choreography and musical talents. The event takes place 7:30-9 p.m. Tickets are $20 or $10 for ages 17 and under.

FIRST LECTURE | Historic Charlotte Tour & Lecture

It’s easy to forget that Rochester once prospered because of the waterways that surround and run through it. Lake Ontario was once ringed by port towns, and Charlotte was one of them. Few remnants of that era remain, but this Saturday, May 7, you can learn more about the port town’s historic mariners and mansions.

In collaboration with the Landmark Society of Western New York, the Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse Society will host a guided tour and lecture on Charlotte’s pre-Rochester history, given

by Cynthia Howk, architectural research coordinator for the Landmark Society. The event takes place 9:30 a.m.-noon, and will feature architectural treasures that tell Charlotte’s story, from frontier settlement and thriving port to renowned lakefront resort.

Enjoy a guided tour of the Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse, completed in 1882. From there, you’ll travel on a combination walking/driving tour to former sites of river and lake captains’ homes, to the grave of 19th century daredevil Sam Patch, to Ontario Beach Park where a restored Dentzel carousel recalls the time when this stretch of lakefront was once known as the “Coney Island of the West,” and down Beach Avenue’s “secret sidewalk” to see the elegant late 19th and early 20th century homes that still enjoy an unparalleled view of the lake.

RECREATION | Bocce Bash

Of all the sports that you can safely play in a tiny backyard, bocce ball is one of the most fun ways to spend a simple, lazy afternoon. All you need is the equipment, a fairly level playing ground (preferably in grass or sand), relatively decent coordination, and a friends or seven. You don’t even have to break a sweat, and it is adult-beverage friendly. Two to eight players take turns throwing the larger bocce balls at the smaller pallino, with the goal of getting their own ball closest to the pallino.

On Saturday, May 7, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Valenti Sports, pushyourself.com, and Aflac New York will host a Bocce Bash benefit for Pluta Cancer Center at Doug Miller Family Sports Park (4618 Ridge Road in West Spencerport). Register a team of four and compete through four matches for the inaugural title. Single elimination playoffs will follow group play, and breakfast and lunch will be provided. To register a team, visit firstgiving.com/plutacancercenter/event/boccebash.

On Thursday, May 5, The National Museum of Play (1 Manhattan Square) invites the community to come out and “play with light” for RIT’s 26th Annual Big Shot photography project. The event relies on volunteers to help light up the night and create a spectacular nighttime photograph — this time of the museum’s architecturally unique exterior. Participants will illuminate the building while RIT photographers take an extended exposure.

If you’re interested, meet on the sidewalk opposite the museum entrance on Manhattan Square by 7:45 p.m. Bring a flashlight or camera flash unit and wear dark clothing. Each participant will receive a memento print of the final photo. For more information and a parking map, go to museumofplay.org.

For more info on the Big Shot project, visit rit.edu/bigshot.

On Saturday, May 7, Rochester Institute of Technology will host the fourth annual Imagine RIT Innovation and Creativity Festival, with hundreds of interactive exhibits, performances, and demonstrations within the fields of art, communication, gaming, health, technology, music, and more. Check out senior design projects, play student-designed video games, enjoy musical and theatrical performances, and traditional festival fare.

[ Tuesday, May 10 ] The Dogwood International Film Festival. The Star Theatre, 144 Main St., Dansville. Foltsn@ dansvillecsd.org. 7 p.m. Free, donations appreciated.

Imagine RIT takes place 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on the RIT campus (Lomb Memorial Drive). Parking is free and is available at RIT or at MCC, with a free shuttle to the RIT campus. Admission is free.

LET US FIX IT! SPECIAL EVENT | Free Comic Book Day

The first Saturday each May is Free Comic Book Day, when participating comic-book shops around the world give away select comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their stores. The event was conceived in 2001 by a California comic-shop owner, in efforts to help bring new readers into indie comic stores. Free Comic Book Day is often tied to the release of a major film adaptation of a comic-book superhero; this year it’s “Thor,” which will be released in the United States on May 6.

Your favorite writers, artists, characters, and stories will be represented, from Spider-Man to Archie, and the Smurfs to the Civil War. Some stores also host tables of local comic artists and writers; call your favorite shop to learn more. Find out which comics will be available at no cost, and learn more about the day at freecomicbookday.com.

From Denmark with principles [ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA

“In a Better World” (NR), directed by Susanne Bier Now playing

If nothing else, the Danish movie “In a Better World” clearly demonstrates some of the significant historic differences between American and European approaches to motion pictures. The movie, which won the Oscar for best foreign-language film, deals more with issues and ideas than action and images, rigorously understates its major themes, and articulates a decidedly offbeat and unpopular approach to confronting its major problems.

Greece Ridge 12 225-5810 176 Greece Ridge Center Dr. FAST FIVE: 12:45, 1:15, 1:50, 4:15, 4:45, 6:45, 7:15, 7:45, 10:05, 10:35; HOODWINKED TOO! (3D): 12:50, 3, 5:05; JUMPING THE BROOM: 2, 5, 7:40, 10:25; continues on page 38

The film shows the parallel and eventually intertwined situations of two families undergoing domestic difficulties that profoundly disturb the lives of their children. The reactions of the children to their parents’ particular actions and attitudes create the major crisis of the picture and also combine to suggest something like a solution.

In one family the father, Anton (Mikael Persbrandt), a physician, works in an African refugee camp, which naturally results in intermittent absences from his home and a consequent isolation of his young son Elias (Markus Rygaard). Anton’s time away not only creates resentment and insecurity for his son but also, unsurprisingly, places a considerable strain on his marriage, which teeters on the brink of dissolution, another source of pain for Elias.

A new boy in town, Christian (William Jøhuk Nielsen), the other unhappy child, mourns the loss of his mother to cancer, believing that both she and his father, Claus (Ulrich Thomsen), somehow caused the death. The two sad, lonely boys form a friendship based on the common

A still from “In a Better World.” PHOTO COURTESY SONY PICTURES CLASSICS

ground of their shared suffering and the bullying they experience from the usual schoolyard punks.

Their reaction to the bullying, led by Christian, creates the moral dilemma and the active crisis of the film. Christian retaliates against their chief tormentor, beating him with a bicycle pump, which naturally lands the boys in trouble with their school’s administrators; more important, the act distresses Anton, who both preaches and practices nonviolence as a way of life. He tells the boys that violence solves no problems, but only leads to more violence, a lesson that fails to convince the pair.

Whatever his shortcomings as a father, Anton demonstrates an admirable nobility in his work helping the suffering refugees in Africa, but also understands the inherent difficulties of following his own precepts.

Against the wishes of the people in the camp he treats the wounds of their oppressor, a local tyrant known as the Big Man; sadly for him, but with a fitting irony, Big Man’s victims gang up and beat their enemy to death. Back in Denmark he attempts to show Christian and Elias the futility of violence by allowing a local lout to slap him and insult him, literally turning the other cheek. That act, which the shocked boys understandably regard as humiliation, precipitates a retaliatory crisis that unites the personal and moral themes of the film.

“In a Better World” deals with problems that few American filmmakers would consider

Speed kills [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“Fast Five” (PG-13), directed by Justin Lin Now playing

“Rubber” (R), written and directed by Quentin Dupieux Screens Thursday at the Little

worth confronting in any serious way. No matter how noble in the abstract, the whole notion of nonviolent approaches to personal assault, for example, hardly seems an appealing or even likely subject for a Hollywood film. Anton’s patient, pacifist attitude toward three different bullies simply contradicts a historic national posture of self-defense — before the vile nonsense of the alleged Bush Doctrine, we were always, with some justification, counter punchers.

The movie suggests some other differences from the Hollywood product, not all of them positive and praiseworthy. As with the Millennium trilogy, the performers don’t look like actors, but like ordinary people — none displays any particular glamor or star quality and all of them, even the children, assiduously underplay their parts, which of course lends an air of normality and authenticity to the picture’s small, intense focus.

At the same time, all that understatement, and the odd combination of unspoken, even cryptic emotional content with a contradictory (and undeniably European) talkiness slows the action down to a crawl for significant amounts of time.

Even crosscutting between Africa and Denmark provides only minimal vitality to the film’s sluggish pace and pallid affect. Perhaps a certain Scandinavian stolidity obstructs the sort of release that most American audiences expect, with the film’s powerful physical act, its climactic explosion, and its assertion of principles all receiving the full cinematic treatment they really deserve.

Oh. Hello again, Vin Diesel. You probably don’t remember that in my April 2009 review of “Fast & Furious” I correctly predicted a fifth installment for 2011, but I’m actually not here to gloat. To be honest, my compassionate side mourns your somewhat cruel fate, a Mephistopheles-level bargain that pays you an unholy amount of money to travel to gorgeous locales with gorgeouser women and drive the gorgeousest cars, as long as you continue to play the same knuckle-dragging goon. My moronic side, however, the one that stops caring about truth, sense, or your creative fulfillment when stuff gets all loud and kaboomy, was very satisfied with your latest trip to the well, “Fast Five.”

You know, Vin Diesel, I’m at a loss over how to thumbnail the plot of “Fast Five”

Paul Walker and Vin Diesel in “Fast Five.”

PHOTO COURTESY UNIVERSAL PICTURES

for anyone else, mostly because director Justin Lin has totally done away with logic and even a linear chronology that would jibe with the previous films. Suffice it to say that your Dom Toretto, newly boosted from prison, is hiding out in Rio de Janeiro with sister Mia and former cop Brian O’Conner (Jordana Brewster and Paul Walker, still the dullest couple in cinema history) after incurring the wrath of a drug kingpin (poor Joaquim de Almeida, perpetually typecast as a Latino crimelord).

And how else to get the powerful Reyes off your back but to rob him of $100 million, an insanely complicated “one last job” (you wish, Vin Diesel!) that will require the participation of all the stock characters from the other F&F flicks.

Even if, um, they already died.

So into the favelas swaggers the UN General Assembly of illegal street racing, including Ludacris, a pair of Puerto Rican reggaeton artists, and Miss Israel 2004. It’s this oh-so-sly construction that’s continually enabled the F&F series to appeal across gender and ethnic lines, because we really are all the same on the inside (of our wallets). And speaking of multiculturalism personified, Vin Diesel, you go mano a mano with The Rock!

Dwayne Johnson stifles every last bit of his charm to play the ripped and growly Hobbs, an elite federal agent tracking Toretto, O’Conner, et al., in hopes of bringing them to justice. Of course, we all know what this means: scantily clad babes, covetable machinery, irresponsible collateral damage, and more overt homoeroticism than all of the “Jackass” movies combined.

Yet for his third crack at the series, Lin seems to understand that the F&F franchise has said everything it needs to about underground racing, which is why he’s made the smart decision to fashion “Fast Five” into an “Ocean’s Eleven”-type

heist film. Granted, the script isn’t remotely clever, or original, or even lucid. But that doesn’t take away from the accomplished stunt choreography, thrilling action that watches as people punch, crash, drag a room-sized safe through the streets of Rio, or, in my favorite set piece, drive a car off a cliff and then leap from it. Lin presents this scene seamlessly and without sound, presumably so you can hear the rest of the audience holding its collective breath as well.

Now, we’ve always known, Vin Diesel, that you were not making high art with these big-budget B-movies; they’re only meant to be young, dumb, and full of... fun. But it’s finally obvious to me that you’re in on the joke, which is really the only way that “The Fast and the Furious” can move forward. And then, as I was watching the credits, a well-placed and gloriously nonsensical coda assured me that it will. See you in 2013, doll.

A car typically can’t go anywhere without

its tires, but, as we learn in Quentin Dupieux’s splatter-filled horror comedy “Rubber,” tires have a little more freedom.

Also, they’re pissed. One of the first films screened as part of the Little Theatre’s new “Project Five” venture, “Rubber” introduces us to the innocuous-looking Robert, a steel-belted soul who comes to life one day and realizes he has the power to make his homicidal thoughts a reality. And like most movie maniacs, he’s a pervert, too, fueled by his obsession with fellow traveler Sheila (Catherine Breillat regular Roxane Mesquida).

Unfortunately, Dupieux tries too hard to make “Rubber” say something about our own modern-day lusts, so don’t allow the film’s annoying meta ambitions to distract from a nifty little gore-fest, one that takes our playtime impulse to make inanimate objects do peopley things to hilariously Grand Guignol heights.

GREASE SING-A-LONG

A Browncroft Beauty

80 Windermere Street When Charles J. Brown of Brown Brothers Continental Nursery decided to allocate 300 acres of his nursery land to the development

A sweeping banister takes the visitor to the second floor with its three sunny hardwood bedrooms and two full baths with original

of the Browncroft residential lots in 1914, he created a parkway filled with lilac bushes, wisterias, magnolias and roses, as well as spruce, elm and maple trees. Modified Colonial and Georgian houses were preferred for their quality and quiet dignity.

tiling. This floor also includes a handy laundry chute and linen closet.

Today, the tree-lined streets of the Browncroft Neighborhood are places where neighbors gather under street lamps to chat and plan community picnics and street-wide progressive wine tastings. Rose of Sharon bushes and flowering fruit trees continue to grace the lawns. The Colonial Revival house at 80 Windemere Street, with its flowering trees, original ornate details and sunlit interior exemplifies the continuation of Brown’s dream.

A stone walkway leads visitors to the mahogany front door with its clerestory window.

Overhead, brown shutters with sailboat cutouts hint at the airy country feel of the interior.

Upon entering and to the left is a four-season sunroom with original ceramic tile. To the right through a wooden entryway is the living room with original oak hardwood floors, bay window and wood burning fireplace. Adjacent to the living room is the dining room, also in oak and featuring a built-in china cabinet and French doors leading to the open back porch. Below the back porch is a brick patio where one can enjoy the smell of flowering lilacs and dogwood.

Another unique feature of the first floor is the lovely Pullman breakfast nook in the kitchen.

The third floor is a wonderful getaway and collection of old house gems. A decorative eyebrow window provides skylight-like lighting to the bedroom and full bath. An original clawfoot tub graces the bathroom. A large walk-in closet provides ample storage and original push-button switches add still more light to this private retreat.

Below and just around the corner from the front lawn of 80 Windemere is the lovely Charles Carroll Elementary School. This creative learning place features a large lawn where neighborhood children love to play. The Winton Branch Library, shopping and restaurants are all within walking distance on the well-maintained sidewalks.

The 490 and 590 expressways are just a short drive away.

At 2725 square feet, this 1922 house is listed at a price of $259,900 by Bob Miglioratti of RE/MAX Plus. Mr. Miglioratti can be reached at 279-8240. Additional information and pictures can be found at http:// rochestercityliving.com/property/R154694.
