COVER STORY | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO | PAGE 6 | PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

Eye on education Improving public education has become one of the great challenges of the 21st century.

During the last 30 years, Rochester’s schools have become increasingly segregated, graduation rates have fallen, and the achievement gap between white students and their black and Latino peers has widened. And only about half of city school students graduate in four years.

Is the city’s school system the worm inside the apple, or an underdeveloped resource? The answer is a little of both. Rochester’s schools and the future economic health of the city are inextricably linked.

This issue marks the debut of a three-part series on Rochester’s schools. During the next six months, City will examine Rochester’s teachers and many of the issues surrounding the field. The paper will also dig into the charter-school debate. What is the purpose of charter schools? And are they a support or a threat to traditional public schools?

But the series begins with a closer look at the students in city schools because they should be everyone’s first concern. Who are they, really? And what do they think of their schools, their teachers, and their fellow students?

Nonsense over marriage

The self-proclaimed guardian of marriage, the National Organization on Marriage, is recycling the same misleading rhetoric that they roll out every time a state appears close to treating same-sex couples equally under the law.

Their claim that gay marriage will have dire “consequences for kids” is reminiscent of Anita Bryant’s campaign to “save the children” in the late 1970’s. The truth is that kids are being harmed when they are taught that discrimination and hate are “family values.” Imagine the devastating effects on children being raised in a family with two moms or two dads who are told at school or through the media that their family is something to be ashamed of.

NOM’s other lie, that granting same-sex couples access to civil marriage will force all religious denominations to “accept gay marriage,” overlooks the fact that the United States was founded on the separation of church and state. If churches want to denounce what they erroneously perceive to be a “lifestyle choice,” they will remain free to do so.

I support religions’ freedom to practice a policy of exclusion and to exercise their freedom of speech to expound their views; however, I do not support the efforts of religions and faith-based organizations to legislatively impose their brand of morality on our state or nation.

Since 2004, five states and Washington DC have passed marriage-equality legislation and the sky has not fallen. The quality of life for people, gay and straight, has actually improved in those jurisdictions that provide support for all families. Discrimination is never a good policy.

We learned a long time ago that separate but equal is inherently unequal and leads to division and discord. New Yorkers believe that every family matters, and it’s time that our elected officials did the

right thing by passing marriage equality legislation this spring.

TODD A. PLANK, IRONDEQUOIT

From our website

The Constitution states that all Americans that are subject to the laws of this country and pay taxes are entitled to the same rights and privileges of this country. Since homosexuals are refused the rights of other Americans, logic follows that homosexuals are not subject to the laws of this country or they are not required to pay taxes. I vote for no taxes for homosexuals!

JIM

As a minister who has performed same-sex commitment ceremonies, I strongly support marriage equality in New York State. I find it an infringement on my religious freedom to be denied the right to marry same-sex couples, when my denomination affirms my right to do so. So-called “gay marriage” does not compromise the many heterosexuals who cherish marriage, as I do (after nearly 50 years being married to the same woman). If we were to prevent marriage among those who give it a bad rep, think of all the Hollywood stars and starlets who would not have the right to marry.

REV RICH OF ROCHESTER

On a reader’s letter charging that while the Presbyterian Church (USA) has voted to permit the ordination of LGBT clergy and laypeople, it is hostile to Israel.

Mr. Grumet greatly misstates the facts regarding the actions of the PCUSA’s General Assembly concerning companies profiting from non-peaceful pursuits in the Middle East. The church has sought to engage many companies, including but not limited to those mentioned, around a variety of issues. The church has not divested of any of the companies, and indeed in 2010 voted against motions recommending that it do so.

The Presbyterian Church (USA) is committed to prayer, good stewardship, and shareholder advocacy where doing so can help bring about a just peace.

I invite those interested in this work, which reaches well beyond Israel-Palestine, to visit www. pcusa.org/mrti.

REV. BRIAN D. ELLISON, COMMITTEE ON MISSION RESPONSIBILITY THROUGH INVESTMENT, PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (USA)

On Wegmans’ East Avenue plan:

Wegmans wants to build a suburban box in an urban environment at the entranceway to the East Avenue Preservation District.

Thankfully some of us, including members of the Zoning Board, believe that the company that Fortune found to be the third best to work for and the grocery chain that Consumer Reports rated Number 1 in the country can be more creative in the exterior design of the building.

I do not hear Wegmans threatening to pull the plug on this project or even threatening to abandon the neighborhood.

It would be foolish to do so. The metric used within the trade to measure a store’s profitability is revenue per square foot. Guess where the East Avenue store stands in the chain? You guessed it: Number 1. Wegmans wants to expand justifiably the gold mine that it has, not go someplace else and build from scratch.

SCOTT FORSYTH

For Wegmans — albeit a valued community partner — to disavow the City Code to design a store that is not compliant with preservation or neighborhood guidelines is like saying “we’re too big to fail.” Frankly I’m getting tired of this approach in our society.

Yes, overall our community loves you, Wegmans. Many of us are employed there, or might be looking to gain employment there; we are your neighbors; many of us are your shoppers.

But that does not mean we can not civilly disagree.

I personally find it petulant when a large employer, business, or funder steamrolls over criticism to get what they want. The community deserves and should expect Wegmans to follow the same rules as do small businesses and residents throughout the city.

SHAWN WALLACE

Amazing how many people seem to think that Wegmans is a philanthropic organization.

I seem to recall that they’re in business to make a buck. They are entitled to exactly the same level scrutiny by the Zoning Board as any other business (or private individual) receives. Or are we now advocating special privileges for Wegmans because they’re nice guys?

Balancing act: the new Wegmans design Busy-bodies. Nitpickers. Obstructionists.

In e-mails and phone messages at City Hall, in readers’ web comments and letters to newspapers, critics have been lashing out at the Zoning Board since it asked Wegmans for more design changes for its new East Avenue store last month.

The gist of the criticism: How dare the board try to tell Wegmans what its stores should look like?

Well, folks, that’s the Zoning Board’s job. And thank goodness the board is doing its job. It’s helping implement and protect one of the city’s most important documents, the Zoning Code.

This is pretty elementary, but it’s worth saying: With no Zoning Code — and no Zoning Board — somebody could put an auto repair shop or a 24-hour restaurant right in the middle of your nice residential block. Somebody could cram 18 college students into the two-bedroom apartment next door to you. They could put a bar or a billboard next door to you.

Rochester’s Zoning Code spells out what uses can go where, and, to some extent, what they can look like: how big they can be, for instance. And what the code finds appropriate in one area of the city may be deemed inappropriate in another.

In my humble opinion, it’s a particularly thoughtful, innovative document, put together, and, over the years, amended — with an enormous amount of citizen input — as the city has changed.

It’s not rigid. If property owners want to do something the ordinance says they can’t do, they can request a variance — from the Zoning Board, whose seven members include architects, developers, and ordinary citizens.

These are not fluffy-headed idealists.

They are all city residents — city taxpayers — from different neighborhoods. They know full well the need for business development in Rochester.

And, by the way, none of them are paid for their service.

One of their most important responsibilities is weighing developers’ requests against nearby residents’ concerns.

And so we come to Wegmans, and its plan to build a suburban-style supermarket — larger than the Zoning Ordinance permits — at the entryway to the East Avenue Preservation District.

In the initial plan, the East Avenue façade was one long, long brick wall. That is simply not acceptable in that neighborhood.

Wegmans modified that plan, adding some

The Zoning Board’s not nitpicking. Design matters.

Size and scale matter. Buildings at that crucial location should contribute to the streetscape.” windows, reducing the size, changing the route for delivery trucks, among other changes. But in May, the Zoning Board asked for more design changes.

And now the board’s being accused of nitpicking — and worse, of helping drive Wegmans out of the city.

But the board’s not nitpicking. Design matters. Size and scale matter. Buildings at that crucial location should contribute to the streetscape. They should be humanscale structures, not fortresses.

Frankly, it is not an exaggeration to say that design guidelines, pressed by preservationists and architecture enthusiasts, saved the entire East AvenuePark Avenue area of the city. Appalled by the demolition of 19th-century houses, large and small, they successfully pushed for the city’s strict preservation legislation, not only saving most of the buildings there but reversing deterioration, halting ugly new construction, attracting new residents, and dramatically increasing property values.

New drawings will be presented when the Zoning Board reconvenes on Thursday to vote (at 5:30 in Room 008A, City Hall). Has the plan changed enough to satisfy the board? My hunch is that it has, or that the board will figure Wegmans has compromised as much as it’s going to.

Regardless, here’s my personal thankyou to the Zoning Board and the City Hall staff for doing what they could for good design, despite the abuse from the critics.

And let me just add this: Whatever the final compromise, the building won’t be what it could have been. And for many of us, the new Wegmans will always represent a lost opportunity, a chance to do something exciting with large-store design in an important urban setting.

Design does matter.

Sandra Frankel, Brighton supervisor and candidate for county executive, has joined Democrats’ call to limit cell phones and take-home vehicles for county employees.

The scene last week was otherwise typical: a handful of Democratic legislators standing behind a podium, announcing proposed — and likely doomed — legislation. (Republicans rule in the Lej and routinely stifle any Democratic proposal.)

There was, however, one significant difference: Democrats at the press conference were joined

by Brighton Supervisor Sandra Frankel, the party’s candidate for county executive. Frankel was there to support Democratic legislators while they discussed a proposal to reduce the number of cell phones and take-home cars given to county staff, particularly department heads.

Democrats estimate the reductions could save the county about $600,000 annually.

As the campaigns for supervisor and Legislature seats — all 29 are up this year — gain steam, expect to see more combined stumping. Frankel and the Democratic Legislature candidates will have similar platforms, and it only makes sense for them to back each other up.

DAD’S DAD’S WISH WISH LIST LIST FOR FOR FATHER’S FATHER’SDAY DAY

Republican legislators will probably take the same approach with incumbent County Executive Maggie Brooks, who is running for her third term.

As for the legislation, Democrats presented two proposals.

Legislation sponsored by Steve Eckel would reduce the number of cell phones provided to county employees, including the county executive, the director of human resources, and those on the staffs of the Legislature, Board of Elections, Auto License Bureau, Communications Department, and Planning and Economic Development Department.

The other legislation, sponsored by Dick Beebe, would eliminate 22 of the county’s 66 take-home vehicles.

Democrats have introduced similar proposals in the past, but they’ve failed in the Republican-controlled Legislature.

At the press conference, Frankel discussed her experience reducing the number of take-home vehicles and cell phones in Brighton town government. She said she limited takehome vehicles to employees who must respond to after-hours emergencies, and she uses her own car.

Paying homage to the Finger Lakes

MCC to stay at Sibley?

A group of environmental leaders and historians is working on a project to permanently showcase the long, rich natural and cultural history of the Finger Lakes region.

The Finger Lakes Cultural and Natural History Museum is in the planning and fund-raising phases. The museum will demonstrate the relationship between diverse groups of people and the lake ecologies, says John Adamski, the museum’s executive director and president of its board.

The museum will be built at Keuka Lake State Park. Target date for opening is 2014 or 2015. Plans call for an aquarium featuring native fish and aquatic life, as well as exhibits with live native animals. A former elementary school in Branchport serves as museum offices and will ultimately house education and research programs.

“We all love the Finger Lakes, but to love it we have to know it,” says Jim Howe, a member of the museum’s advisory board and executive director of The Nature Conservancy of Central and Western New York.

The region has a substantial natural and human history. The 11 Finger Lakes were carved out of the earth by glaciers, and their evolving ecologies have supported a variety of plants, animals, and people.

The region holds an important — and

tragic — place in Iroquois history, and it has also made significant contributions to the winemaking craft.

The museum has also started Jim Howe. FILE PHOTO its inaugural program, “Back from the Brink,” which will double as a way to introduce people to the museum, says Natalie Payne, the museum’s associate project director.

The event consists of three separate programs, all on Hemlock and Canadice Lakes. The first was on June 4, while the remaining installments are on June 16 and 23. The first will detail the history of the lakes, including its transition to a source of drinking water. The second will detail the efforts to permanently preserve the lakes and the land around them.

The series will be repeated in locations across the region. For more information: www.fingerlakesmuseum.org.

MCC President Anne Kress says a decision on the future of the college’s downtown campus is weeks away. But after months of analyzing sites and speculation about what sites are on the short list, no one except Kress seems to know for sure where the project stands. And she’s not talking. It’s almost certain, however, that the project will be a renovation of an existing building rather than new construction, says MCC board chair Kenneth Goode. | “We’ve had $72 million to work with, but costs have gone up and a new building isn’t going to be possible,” he says. | MCC’s Board of Trustees will meet at 4:30 p.m. on Monday, June 13, at the Brighton campus. Members expect to hear a progress report on site selection from Kress at that time. | “We’ve been at this now for years,” says MCC trustee and local attorney John Parrinello. “We had Ren Square and then something happened with that. We had Midtown and then there were problems with that. So I’m hoping we hear something soon.” | Though Kress has stated that she doesn’t favor the Sibley building as a permanent location, it may be MCC’s best option. The building, however, is under an option-to-purchase agreement with a potential new owner.

Improving public education has become one of the great challenges of E 1 RI 0 the 21st century: just as E S 2 important as creating clean energy and affordable health care.

In this issue, City presents the first of a three-part series called “Eye on Education.”

During the last 30 years, Rochester’s schools have become increasingly segregated, graduation rates have fallen, and the achievement gap between white students and their black and Hispanic peers has widened. Nowhere is the achievement gap more evident than with young black male students — something many people are calling a national crisis.

Only about half of city school students graduate in four years, a problem Rochester shares with urban districts around the country. And many of the students who graduate and are accepted into college soon discover they are not adequately prepared for

CITY

Methodology An in-depth understanding of the Rochester City School District has to start with the students. They are at the epicenter of a community-wide debate about how to best cultivate students’ abilities to prepare them for a world that becomes more competitive every day. Rochester has turned over every stone looking for answers, from mentoring programs and mayoral control to opening and closing schools and wraparound care programs like the Rochester Children’s Zone. Still, improving student performance in city schools has been an uphill battle.

Maybe it’s time to take another look at the students. What are their dreams and ambitions?

the academic rigor of college courses. Others lack the social skills to make the transition.

Students who don’t pursue college or some type of post-secondary training will quickly learn that Rochester’s manufacturing heyday is history. And so are the higherpaying, low-skills jobs.

Is the city’s school system the worm inside the apple, or an underdeveloped resource? The answer is a little of both. Clearly Rochester’s schools and the future economic health of the city are inextricably linked. The continued redevelopment of downtown, particularly the development of new housing and retail, greatly depends on improving Rochester’s schools.

And future businesses will not start-up or expand here without a skilled work force.

Rochester is not Chicago or New York City, but it may be a bellwether for other urban districts. Rochester was once known for innovation and invention. If it can’t solve the education conundrum, what will that mean

What are their strengths and weaknesses? And what do they think about the education they’re receiving and their prospects for the future?

Through several interviews with middleand high-school students, classroom observations, and discussions with a wide range of local and national education experts, a clearer picture of city students emerges. And there are two adjectives used with surprising frequency to describe them: diverse and resilient.

Demographics With an enrollment of about 32,000 students in a city of about 210,000, the RCSD is New York’s third largest school district. It’s also

for the future of the city? What will it mean for society when thousands of students leave urban districts across the country year after year unprepared for a global economy?

During the next six months, City’s education series will examine Rochester’s teachers and many of the issues surrounding the field, such as teacher evaluations, tenure, and teaching conditions in city schools.

City will also dig into the charter-school debate. What is the purpose of charter schools? Are they a support or a threat to traditional public schools? Why are so many parents attracted to them? And how well do their students do academically?

But the series begins with a closer look at the students in city schools because they should be everyone’s first concern. Who are they?

What are their needs? What do they have in common with their suburban counterparts?

And what do they think of their schools, their teachers, and their fellow students?

its poorest, with the highest child poverty rate of the state’s “Big Five” districts. Nearly 90 percent of the students in Rochester city schools qualify for free or reduced price meals.

District data says that 64 percent of students are black, 22 percent are Latino, and about 11 percent are white. The remaining 3 percent is a mix of Asian, Native American, and East Indian students.

Even though it’s accurate to say that city students are largely black, Latino, and poor, it’s also a gross oversimplification. Consider that there are more than 1,000 immigrant and refugee students from countries all over the world enrolled in city schools. There are about 72 different languages spoken among

city school students, and for 40 percent of the students, a language other than English is their primary language.

Academic achievement There are promising signs that graduation rates for city students are improving from the 2007 low point of 39 percent. Though the rates are not improving fast enough to satisfy most people, a fairly steady upward trend seems to be emerging, starting with a 12-point gain to 52 percent in 2008. The rate slipped again in 2009 to 46 percent following a decision by the state education department to begin phasing out local high school diplomas.

Though the state has not yet released the official graduation rate for 2010, Rochester school officials say it will be between 51 and 52 percent. And according to preliminary data, the 2011 graduation rate will increase to between 56 and 58 percent, says school board member Van White. The district’s dropout rates are easing, too, though they continue to be a serious problem. The rate dropped from a high of 1,306 in 2007-2008 to 1,097 in 2009-2010.

Somewhat encouraging is the number of city students graduating with a Regents diploma, which is arguably a better indicator of proficiency levels. For the 2008-2009 school year, 54 percent of city students graduated with a Regents diploma, and 12 percent earned a Regents diploma with advanced designation, according to state data. For 2009-2010, 59 percent of students earned a Regents diploma with 12 percent earning an advanced designation.

A serious and dauntingly persistent problem for Rochester students is the achievement gap between black and Latino students and their white counterparts. The gap is most pronounced when comparing the performance of young black males to white males, and the issue is not unique to Rochester.

new questions about poverty’s influence on student learning.

The report also showed that black male students are twice as likely to be “retained” or held back at least one grade year in school, and that they are three times more likely to be suspended. And young black males are half as likely as white males to graduate from college in four years.

And a report issued by the Schott Foundation for Public Education showed that the situation for young black males in Rochester’s schools is worse than the national average. In the 2007-2008 graduating class in Rochester schools, barely one-third of black male students graduated in the four-year cohort. RCSD’s graduation rate for black males is one of the lowest in the country, says the Schott study.

And according to the city school district’s own research, the performance of black and Latino male students on NAEP tests has been flat since 1990. The research shows that black male students who are 17 years old are performing at the same level as white male students who are 13 years old.

The situation becomes especially grave when black and Latino males are seen through the lens of special-education classifications.

According to city school district research, black males are overrepresented in special education and more likely to be removed from the general education population.

More than 6,000 black males were classified as special-education students in the 2008 cohort. Another 737 were shown as students with emotional disturbances.

And between kindergarten and 9th grade, black males accounted for 42 percent of the students held back at least one year.

Considering that research shows that students who are retained more than once, regardless of race or ethnicity, are at much greater risk of dropping out, the prospects for black and Latino male students are grim.

Former city schools Superintendent JeanClaude Brizard once described the plight of black and Latino males as “racial and ethnic bias and discrimination at the institutional and structural level.” Helping black and Latino students close the achievement gap, however, is a complex problem, not just in Rochester’s schools but in urban districts across the country. Opinions about root causes of the gap and what needs to be done vary.

“The honest answer is no one knows definitively what is causing the achievement gap,” says Adeyemi Stembridge, a professor with New York University’s School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. He refers to what some scholars call an “education debt” rather than an achievement gap.

“The disenfranchisement of black and other racial minorities, the prevention of these communities from participating in the political process, the institutionalized racism…these things have placed certain groups — particularly African Americans —at a historical disadvantage,” he says.

Stembridge is a project leader with the school’s Metropolitan Center for Urban Education. Stembridge has been working with teams of Rochester teachers for about a year to address the disproportionate special-education classifications of black and Latino students.

Though the influence of poverty is sometimes debated, Stembridge says there is a socioeconomic component to the achievement gap.

“Black folks are more likely to live in poverty than other groups,” he says.

“When you factor in that there are high concentrations of poor people living in small spaces, the economics don’t always lend themselves to strong academic outcomes.”

Students from poor households also have less of what educators call “protective factors.”

“Kids in suburban schools are more likely to have educated parents,” Stembridge says. “They are more likely to live in a household where economics aren’t an ever-present threatening factor. They are less likely to have moved in a year, as many urban students have.”

Ronald Ferguson, senior lecturer at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education and the Kennedy School of Government, agrees with Stembridge.

“The gap is there on the first day of kindergarten because of what these kids haven’t experienced before they ever got to school,” Ferguson says. “And those gaps have to do with a combination of resources and parenting skills.”

But quality and rigor of instruction as well as lowered expectations contribute to the achievement gap among black and Latino students, too, says Wade Norwood, director of the Finger Lakes Health Systems Agency and a New York Regent.

“I see clearly that there are broad variations in the intensity of the curriculum with suburban and city schools,” Norwood says.

“We can put more rigor into our curriculum, and we need to do this for all of our kids, because quite honestly, we settle for mediocrity.

We’re allowing our children to leave high school with real gaps in their mastery. And we have to be very clear that children will live up or live down to the expectation.”

The problem of lowered expectations for black and Latino students is real, Stembridge says. For example, it would be a shock, he says, if his son decided not to go to college.

“He has spent half of his life on a college campus,” Stembridge says. “After school today my kid is going to come down to NYU and we’re going to work on his science fair project. His expectation of himself and the expectation he knows that I have of him is that after you graduate from high school in the 12th grade, there is the 13th grade in college.”

The poverty debate Probably the biggest and longest-running debate among educators is the influence of poverty on the performance of urban students. Most city school students are all-too-familiar with the hardships poverty creates, which places them squarely in the middle of a tug-of-war: a battle being waged in urban school districts across the country.

“One group is determined to keep poverty on the table and to use the school improvement movement as leverage to also work on poverty and equity,” Harvard’s Ferguson says. “Without working on poverty, they’re pretty sure we’re not going to get equity.”

The other group believes there isn’t enough social capital to work on poverty and school improvement at the same time.

“Tagging poverty onto the school improvement movement may mean that we get neither done,” Ferguson says.

NYU’s Stembridge says poverty is a reality that cannot be ignored, “but I think it is more accurate to say that the attitudes about poverty are often a bigger obstacle than poverty itself.”

Stembridge says he learned while working with Rochester’s teachers that one of their biggest concerns is the influence of poverty on continues on page 10

rochestercitynewspaper.com

City

Education: Who they are continues from page 8

students. And he suggests thinking about poverty differently.

“If you go into an environment on the other side of the world and you ignore the cultural realities of that environment and try to teach the same way you would in your own environment, there’s going to be a significant disconnect,” he says.

Poverty is a lot like a foreign experience for many teachers in Rochester, he says.

Many of them didn’t grow up in poverty, and many didn’t start out teaching poor children.

But teachers need to resist the temptation to feel sorry for their students and lower the standards, Stembridge says.

“There’s not going to be a massive poverty initiative that is going to dramatically change 85 percent of the [life] experiences of students who qualify for free and reduced lunches in Rochester’s schools,” he says. “But research has shown time and time again that good teaching does nullify some of the negative impacts of poverty.”

Ask most city students if they want to attend college, and like their suburban counterparts, Stembridge says, most will say yes.

The difference is that city students are more likely to be the first ones in their families to go to college, and the pathway is less familiar.

Of the city students who graduated in 2009, 56 percent went on to two-year college, 23 percent went on to four-year colleges, 2 percent joined the military, and 9 percent found employment.

But is good teaching enough to help close the achievement gap? “A large part of the problem in urban school districts has to do with intense poverty and racial isolation,” says author and education historian Diane Ravitch. “These two factors come together and it’s toxic.”

In their own words It’s clear that most city school students recognize the problems their fellow students face. But they often disagree with the experts on the nature and causes of those problems.

For example, they say that many students drop out of school or don’t reach their academic potential because they either apply little to no effort, or they’re not interested. It’s obvious to anyone who sits in a classroom, they say.

“You have to do the work,” says Sophie Gallivan, a 9th grader at Wilson Magnet High School. “It’s not that hard. There are just so many kids who aren’t engaged in what we’re doing. I think that’s a really crucial thing when it comes to kids doing better in school.”

And the students say they don’t think their teachers are necessarily to blame for the shortcomings of students. Teachers care about their students and are eager to help, they say.

“They won’t do the work for you, but if you need help, you don’t need to be afraid to 10 City JUNE 8-14, 2011

ask for it,” says Unique Fair, an 8th grader at School 58 World of Inquiry. “It’s like you get out of it what you put into it.”

Classmates who misbehave and distract teachers are irritants because they take instruction time away from the rest of the class, the students say.

“Some kids are there just to be with their friends,” one student says. “And they talk back or get into trouble and nothing happens. I wish sometimes my teacher would send them out of the class, but she doesn’t.”

What’s even more troubling to them is the difference in resources available to students in city schools compared to suburban schools.

While they like their schools, teachers, and friends, they notice there are substantial differences between most city schools and suburban schools in everything from music and arts programs to foreign languages and physical education.

The old barriers between city and suburban students are eroding mostly because of the rapid pace of technology and social networking, so the differences are much more apparent to students than they used to be.

One difference, however, stands out more than the others. Students have to pass through metal detectors as they enter many city school district schools.

“Sometimes they wand me and sometimes they just pass me through,” Gallivan says. “And it’s the same way with other kids. Some they may not wand at all, and others they may wand them from head to toe. It depends on what kind of relationship that security guard has with that student. I know they are doing it for

our safety, but sometimes it feels a bit invasive. One time they took a metal fork from me, but I was like, ‘Okay, but how am I supposed to eat my salad now?’”

School security and the metal detectors are sore subjects for New York Regent Wade Norwood, too.

“I have a real appreciation for how walking through metal detectors every day impacted my son,” he says. “Without that help from the teachers and the school environment, in many cases students sense, ‘there is something wrong with us. We are being demeaned. We are being disrespected.’”

The students are also critical of the way the media portrays city schools and students.

If a student does something exceptional in a city school, the media tendsAMERICAN/BLACK to AFRICAN overemphasize it, “as if city students never do

anything exceptional,” says Bianca Robles, a senior at Northwest College Prep.

City students are like their peers in Brighton, Fairport, or Webster, the students say. They are Regents scholars, star athletes, and young artists, too. Consider Gabriel Trevino and Timothy Mitchum.

Trevino, 2011 valedictorian at Wilson Magnet High School Commencement Academy, was accepted to both MIT and Harvard. He’s chosen to attend Harvard in the fall, where he’ll receive an annual scholarship of about $52,000.

And Mitchum, a 2010 graduate of School of the Arts, appeared in the film “Across the Universe” where he sang the Beatles song, “Let it Be.” He’s attending SUNY Fredonia.

But probably nothing troubles and confuses city students more than racism.

“I hate it and I hate people who think that way,” says student Brandon Rogers.

Rogers’ father is black and his mother is white. Rogers, who is light-skinned, says that some of his black classmates do not realize that he is part white. And some white students don’t realize he is black. The lack of understanding troubles him, he says, and people sometimes say things they might not if they were aware of his racial background.

While attending a program at the University of Rochester with students from other school districts, Rogers

says he was asked if he goes to school in Fairport. Rogers responded that he attends school in the city, and the student acted surprised, Rogers says, and made a negative remark about the city school district.

Hawthorne’s Restaurant closed at the end of 2009, leaving the space — also the home of the longstanding Maplewood Inn before that — noticeably lights-out for anyone who travels the Brighton-to-Pittsford stretch of East Avenue. That changed last month when the golf-themed Back Nine Grill opened its doors Monday, May 23.

The restaurant is owned by Matt Wambach (brother to local soccer legend Abby Wambach) and his business partners Andrew Kuhls and Mike Wood. Some of the renovations to the space include a new wraparound oak bar overlooking East Avenue, new hardwood floors, rich green walls, and black wicker patio furniture with lime-green cushions.

The restaurant’s name, golf theme, and wood selection are nods to Oak Hill Country Club, situated about a mile down the road.

The reasonably priced, upscale menu features a selection of salads, appetizers, sandwiches, grilled flatbread pizzas, and entrees. Some of the more unique offerings include a strawberry-and-chicken salad featuring pecans and gorgonzola topped with a balsamic dressing ($11), a macadamianut-encrusted mahi mahi atop a blueberry coulis ($22), truffled steak fries (offered as a side with any sandwich or entrée), and several grilled choices, like slow-smoked ribs ($15 half, $22 full), pork chops with a spicy apple chutney ($22), and a rotisserie chicken finished off on the grill ($20).

Back Nine Grill is located at 3500 East Ave. Prices range from $9 to $24. It is open Monday-Sunday 11 a.m.-2 a.m. For more information, call 267-7031.

Downtown fresh

Aladdin’s Natural Eatery opened its third

Rochester-area location last month in Corn Hill Landing. The Mediterranean restaurant has two other locations in Rochester (646 Monroe Ave. and 8 Schoen Place in Pittsford), and one in Ithaca — the new location shares an owner and menu with the Pittsford eatery. Some of the restaurant’s most popular dishes include pastitsio (ground beef sautéed with wine, topped with béchamel sauce), souvlaki (chicken and beef), and melanzagna (a vegetarian lasagna). Diners can also enjoy their food while eating on the restaurant’s extensive outdoor patio, which overlooks the Genesee River.

The new Aladdin’s Natural Eatery is located at 290 Exchange Blvd., in the space formerly occupied by Siam.

Prices range from $5 to $13. It is open Sunday-Wednesday 11 a.m.-9 p.m. and Thursday-Saturday 11 a.m.-10 p.m. For more information, call 319-3217 or visit aladdinsonline.com.

Dinner with a view

Nolan’s on Canandaigua Lake opened earlier

last month. The steak, seafood, and pasta joint features upscale flavors at moderate prices, served in a dining room with a view of

Canandaigua Lake. The restaurant is situated in the space most recently occupied by the Waterfront Grille, as well as the former location of the long-standing Kellogg’s Pan Tree Inn. The lunch menu features a variety of salads, sandwiches, burgers, and wraps.

The dinner menu offers a selection of chicken, veal, beef, seafood, and pasta dishes. Notable items include a skinless haddock filet stuffed with crab, shrimp, and scallops, topped with a lobster sauce ($19.95); chicken sautéed with broccoli and bruschetta in a riesling-garlic-parmesan sauce ($17.95); and a 16 oz. bone-in Delmonico steak topped with gorgonzola cheese and button mushrooms ($23.95); and local favorites like chicken or veal French ($16.95 and $17.95, respectively).

For the signature dessert item, owner Nick Violas even managed to get the famous cinnamon-bun recipe from the Kellogg family (who owned the iconic Kellogg’s Pan Tree Inn), which is served a la mode.

The restaurant also serves several local brands, including wines from Heron Hills Winery, Dr. Konstantin Frank Vinifera Wine Cellars, Hazlitt Vineyards, and Constellation Brands; beers from Naked Dove Brewing Company and Custom BrewCrafters; and coffee from Finger Lakes Roasters Coffee.

Nolan’s on Canandaigua Lake is located at 130 Lakeshore Drive. Lunch prices range from $7 to $10; dinner prices range from $8 to $34. It is open Monday-Saturday 11 a.m.-10 p.m. and Sunday noon-10 p.m. For

Kitchen- and housewares store WilliamsSonoma has started offering a variety of classes to the public at its location in the Eastview Mall (7979 Pittsford-Victor Road). For the month of June, the international retailer will offer three technique classes, two cooking classes, and one cookbook-club class. This month’s technique classes — which are all free, and held Sundays 10 a.m.-noon — are devoted to celebrating American barbeque.

The cooking classes will be held on Wednesdays, June 8 and June 15, 6:308:30 p.m., and cost $50 (price includes dinner). The first class is entitled “The Spanish Table,” and will focus on how to prepare traditional Spanish dishes including gazpacho, tortilla Espanola with chorizo, and crème Catalana. The second class, called “Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill Classics,” will feature lessons on preparing some of celebrity-chef Flay’s most notable recipes, including zucchini and goat cheese quesadillas with tomato-basil salsa, 16 spicerubbed chicken breast with onion slaw, and twisted sour-cream coconut sticks.

The cookbook club class, which will be held Wednesday, June 29, costs $75 (price includes dinner and the “Williams-Sonoma Grill Master” cookbook) and features several signature recipes, including mustard-glazed pork tenderloin, drunken pinto beans, and maple-glazed peaches with toasted almonds.

Space is limited and pre-registration is required by visiting the store or calling 223-1660. For more information, visit williamssonoma.com.

Drinks for a cause

The 8th Annual Lemonade Days will be held on Friday, June 10, through Sunday, June 12. The nationwide event features volunteers selling lemonade at public events to benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, a charity that supports the battle against childhood cancer. In Rochester, the Benoit Laboratory at the University of Rochester Biomedical Engineering Department will host a stand for its second year — first on Saturday at the Rochester Public Market (280 N. Union St.) and then on Sunday at the Brighton Farmers Market (1150 S. Winton Road). Last year’s Lemonade Days raised more than $1 million.

Six dollar hat [ review ] by frank de blase

It’s nice to go club hopping in search of the live-music mojo in this weather; most joints aren’t bottled up as tight and the music spills out and into the street a little easier. However, with their intensity and volume, the bands that I caught at The California Brew Haus Saturday night could have bled through the walls of a bomb shelter. Ten Dead Heroes was wrapping up its set with roar as I walked in. It wasn’t exactly nu-metal, but it was hard and heavy and ended so abruptly on a dime that the following silence was equally deafening before the crowd fell into applause. A Thousand Shades Of Cold followed with touches of hardcore and even classic metal. The whole band is powerful, each instrument precise and discernable, but you’ve got to credit the overall drive to drummer Juan Calixto — a man in a $6 hat with chops and fills as big as the man himself.

Ended the night at the Dinosaur to catch The Fabulous Ripcords. I don’t know why I always think these guys are a surf band, but the foursome serves up

some nice barroom, barrelhouse blues and boogie with two smokin’ guitars at the helm.

I waded through a sea of khaki at Fairport Canal Days Sunday afternoon.

My destination was the Fab Gear Stage along the barge canal. Cruelty Free rocked steady with an accelerated indierock set, the kind of music you used to read about back in the day in CMJ. But honestly, I was there to dig the reunion of one of my favorite bands, St. Phillip’s Escalator. SPE kind of fell apart a couple of years ago just as the local trio seemed on the brink of something. So there it was Sunday, standing on the same brink and sounding fabulous. It was thick with some blues to temper the psychedelic sonics and vicious garage stomp.

Remember kids; E=MC-5. I never get tired of this stuff.

Wednesday, June 8

up and is jealous of the guy who can climb the speaker stacks and hang from the rafters.

Would the addition of a singer, or a drummer so Scott could sing, help?

Scott: I don’t think it would have any impact.

Rick: We’ve found a sweet spot we’re

comfortable with.

Scott: If we had unlimited funds we would find a way to make it more visually entertaining through multimedia experiences instead.

Where would you draw the line?

Scott: Choreography will never be a part of

the show Rick: It’s kind of a cheesy thing to say, but we let the music speak for itself. It is what is and we are who we are.

Scott: It’s us.

Local band FM Green would like to be the first band to play in space. Barring that, it will settle for recording in a hyperbaric chamber. PHOTO PROVIDED

Gigs in space FM Green Friday, June 17 Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. 9 p.m. | $6-$8 | 454-2966 Fmgreen.net [ INTERVIEW ] By Frank De Blase

You could sum up FM Green’s existence with a listen to the band’s tune “Bug Collector,” off the new album “Victory!” The meaty chug of the song’s opening riff prepares the way for both speed and a slow grind — it depends on the listener. How you hear it is up for grabs.

So you’re either satisfied or surprised. Either way, you’ll dig it.

Funded by nearly $4000 in fan donations through kickstarter.com, “Victory!” is the Rochester trio’s third album. It was produced by Greg Norman a Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio Studio in Chicago.

The dynamic tug of war between Steve Lopez (guitar) and bearded brothers Scott Cockler (drums, vocals) and Rick Cockler (bass), along with the band’s knack for hooks, creates music that pops without being pop.

We sat down with FM Green to discuss its sound, its de-facto line-up, creative compromise within the outfit, and being the first band in space. Here’s an edited transcript of what was said.

16 City JUNE 8-14, 2011

CITY: When did FM Green first make the scene?

Scott Cockler: It goes back to 1994 in high

school. We were freshmen, little band nerds.

We got together, started playing, then added and subtracted different friends throughout high school until ’98-’99 when we brought in Rick. He actually played guitar at the time, but we needed a bass player. Our bass player, like most bass players, was unreliable. And since then that’s been the line-up.

Did you immediately dive in with original material?

Steve Lopez: It was always half and half in

the beginning. That’s when the “blue album” was out, so we were playing Weezer songs.

Rick Cockler: I think they were cutting their rock teeth at that point, so it would’ve been hard to step in and start writing rock songs.

Lopez: But it wasn’t long before we were writing.

How’d Scott wind up singing? Couldn’t find a singer you liked?

Scott: Maybe they didn’t like us. I think

what it got down to was at some point I had written all these words to these songs — it was always a struggle finding a singer.

I didn’t want to sing from the drums, but we just wanted to play.

Does that limit your performance?

Scott: Not really. But the singer part of me

— not that there really is one — wants to get

And where does “us” come from influencewise?

Lopez: I’m personally influenced by Guns ’n’

Roses and Slash’s music, classic rock. Between Guns ’n’ Roses and Weezer, those are two opposing forces that clash inside of me. In terms of songwriting, it’s more of a traditional pop-rock type of music.

Scott: I’m really out of my element; I listen to music these guys can’t stand. Artists like Rufus Wainwright, really well-written songs. It’s a lot more delicate than what we get out there and do. So I’m always the one saying, “Guys maybe we can take it down a little.” It’s always been an interesting dynamic with us.

Rick: I tend to come from the heavy side of things, the more aggressive stuff. So usually when I come in with something, I’m trying to make it faster or heavier and these guys are great at reining me in so it’s more dynamic, not just boring and loud. I push them out of their comfort zone and they drag me back from my comfort zone.

How does FM Green maintain pop accessibility without all the pop sugar?

Scott: I think lyrically I have trouble

simplifying. I’ll write paragraphs and that’ll be the verse. It’s always been about cramming in all these words.

Rick: I guess it’s just one of those elements that comes naturally to us. We don’t have a set idea, “Lets write a song like this.” It all starts with somebody bringing a riff to the table and it snowballs from there. And it goes through whatever our natural working process is — which is usually arguing about things until it winds up as the final product. I guess we’re just lucky in that regard.

SYNTH ROCK | Lovers

COUNTRY | Miranda Lambert

After a near-death experience in 2002 involving the explosion of tour van, Lovers central touch point Carolyn Berk has risen to a new echelon of musical expression with the intensity of a phoenix. Unremittingly exposing her deepest desires and convictions through a songwriting style that is as much tearful as it is heroic, Berk has surrounded herself these days with two other rare birds of paradise, sequencerpercussionist Emily Kingan and performance artist-synth programmer Kerby Ferris. In 2010, they married a haunting blend of uninhibited talent, sisterly love, and feministic perspective into the album “Dark Love.” The result is fantastic and passionate, mystical and practical, danceable and moving to the hips and the soul. Professional Victims from Syracuse and KOPPS of Rochester share the bill.

The award-winning albums “Kerosene” and “Crazy ExGirlfriend” established Miranda Lambert as one of the bad girls of country music, spinning tales of revenge, firearms, and hard living. Lambert’s latest album, “Revolution,” evolves a bit further to explore some mellower themes, possibly inspired by her relationship, and recent marriage, to fellow country singer Blake Shelton. Still, the platinum-selling album does not stray too far from the formula, with songs like “Dead Flowers” and “Time to Get a Gun.” Lambert is an undeniably gifted songwriter whose musical influences include Steve Earle and Emmylou Harris. Musically, there is some rock in this country, and that could allow her to bridge some gaps in both genres. Justin Moore and Josh Kelley share the bill.

POP-PUNK | Against Me!

SYNTH POP | Freezepop

Eschewing the formula of angry punk rock flecked with folk sensibilities that defined the early days of the band, Florida’s Against Me! has moved toward a more anthemic pop-punk aesthetic in recent years and records. Naturally, over the course of a decade or so and through five studio albums, a band’s sound is certain to evolve. Luckily for fans in attendance at the live shows, the band dabbles liberally into older material as well as the new. That variety, in conjunction with that live sheen that makes concerts and performances so enjoyable, is sure to please fans from all stages of Against Me’s career. Screaming Females and Lemuria also perform.

Upon first glance the fabulous foursome known as Freezepop resembles the essence of its latest single, “Doppleganger,” in terms of the electro-retro spectrum. After further inspection you’ll find that the light, poppy vocal style and effortless synth programming carries the listener to familiar territory. While on tour, said terrain is dynamically tested out on audiences for a pitch-perfect harnessing of the spirit of their live shows, a constant give and take, as the group experiments with finding what audiences really want.

Art Ghost in the machine “Intake”

By Mitch Messina Through July 22 Firehouse Gallery, Genesee Center for the Arts & Education, 713 Monroe Ave. 271-5183, geneseearts.org Monday-Friday 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Saturday noon-4 p.m. [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Art students learn from their professors a variety of skills surrounding technique and concept. But if they’re lucky, they also learn a thing or two about visual sense-making, and the ability to communicate meaning to their audience. While in attendance at Nazareth, my printmaking professor and advisor pointed his students to the artist statement of sculpture professor, Mitch Messina, as a great example of someone who is not only technically talented, but also has a good understanding of what he is trying to convey, and how to go about conveying it. As many artists know, the statement is a pain to write, but can make or break a solid connection with your audience.

Messina’s new body of work and accompanying artist statement, which can be viewed this summer at the Firehouse Gallery at the Genesee Center, are better than ever.

This show includes eight sculptural works of human-tool hybrids in cast clay that simultaneously speak about our culture’s shift from hands-on craftsmanship to soulless manufacturing, while examining the use of tools as extensions of our own efforts to physically shape the world.

“My current work attempts to contextualize the intrinsic relationships between human beings and tools,” says Messina in his artist statement. “Tools have marked stages in human development, from primitive existence to current levels of technology. The increasing specialization and adaptation in the design and functionality of various implements has, at least on the surface, presented evidence that human beings continue to advance along the evolutionary continuum.”

But Messina argues that the “innate connection humans have with tools is slowly being severed,” and that in the age of automation, these items “are increasingly devoid of direct human physical involvement.” To the artist, tools that once “served as allegorical symbols of the inner workings of the neverending human struggle to give shape and meaning to the world through hands-on contact” now are foreign or forgotten.

A small dog-sized human

“Pigtail” by Mitch Messina, part of “Intake,” on display at the Firehouse Gallery through July 22. PHOTO PROVIDED

crouches atop a bellyheight pedestal in “Chain,” perched precariously on the edge, and straining to pull at the top link of a long chain. The figure’s arms end not in hands, but in a loop that links around the next link, each increasing in size as they trail down and pool on the floor.

Viewers can walk around the work to gain the full impact of the struggling form curled around the weighty task. In creating human-tool hybrids, the figure becomes a visceral conduit between the viewer and the object and the subject matter.

The works are painted in such a way as to resemble metal: some pieces look like cast bronze and others affect an aged copper patina. The earthy nature of the clay speaks to the human element, but is also reminiscent of industrial grittiness. Messina intentionally leaves the cast seams on the pieces “to emphasize the massproduction method of casting that is involved in creating the work,” he said in a recent interview.

“This is in an attempt to strip the figures of their individual identity — stamped out of a mold — and make them one of the many,” and to examine “the tension and dissonance that exists in our present society; a society facing the threat of dehumanization and alienation away from objects made by hand,” he says.

Dehumanization is conveyed in many other symbolic ways, including the general ageless, faceless, sexless portrayal of the figures, and the fact that in some of the works, the mass-produced multiples are stacked in heaps. This is true in “Conveyor,” which consists of two wall-mounted heads weeping chains of conical cups that trail down to a low pedestal, which holds a cluster of three figures in fetal position, covering their faces.

“Pigtail” is even more dehumanizing, with two

stacks of three figures, each body terminating at the thighs with a connector and long hose, and truncated at the shoulder with another connector with a circular peg or hole. The hoses trail to the ground and are bound together with metal shackles. This puzzle-piecing of the human figure is also found in “Toil,” a pyramid of six human figures laying on their bellies, shoulders back, palms and heads up as if frozen mid-squirm. Between each of their shoulders is a fixture connecting to a long, whip-like rod, each of them connected to a D-ring.

“Linkage” also utilizes this theme, with a chain of five figures mounted vertically on the wall as if seated in a rowboat, looking down toward the floor with arms resting on raised knees. Each person’s hands morph into two elongated bars, which are connected to a fixture between the next figure’s shoulders.

The human chain trails down to eventually link with a giant pair of hands, positioned in a way that reminds me of a handcuffed pair: close together, prone.

There is a strangely religious, yet terrified, feel to “Rotor,” which features an oversized machine part of the same name laying on its side, ringed by seven of those fetal-position, face-covering figures. Understood only through gesture, the anonymous figures appear to be involved in a ritual, yet clinging blindly to the sides of their creation, they also seem terrified of falling off as their world spins forward, ever faster.

COMEDY | BROKEN COUCH FOR RUBBER DUCKIES Local funny guy Jeff Andrews recently played Franz in JCC’s “The Producers,” and also stays busy as a member of Unleashed!

Improv and one half of the improv duo Broken Couch. But he’s also got a heart of gold: this summer, he plans to travel from London, England, to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, via a fuel-efficient car in order to raise money for the S.O.S. Children’s Villages and the Christina Noble Children’s Foundation. Each of these charities provides support to adoption programs, orphanages, and homeless children worldwide.

The one-way trip consists of 18 countries, 10,000 miles, and 40 days of unplanned adventure in a 1.5-liter vehicle that he plans to donate to Mongolia at the end of the trip, “if it lasts, if not we donate the hubcaps,” he explained via e-mail. “Ten to one, I will die on this trip,” he says. “I wish this was more of a joke.”

The Broken Couch will hold two benefit comedy improv shows on Friday, June 10, at 7 and 9:30 p.m. at The Space (Hungerford Building, 1115 E. Main St., door 2, suite 248). Aquinas High School’s improv troupe, Catawampus, will present its first performance outside of their school as the opening act. Tickets are $10 at the door. For more information on the show, the trip, and the charities, visit therubberduckies.com.

LECTURE | INTRODUCTION TO JAZZ HISTORY

If you’re wondering why the events calendar seems to have dried up this week, it’s because the siren’s call of the Rochester International Jazz Festival, now in its 10th year, has had our attention focused on the East End for months. The wait is over this week, and jazz enthusiasts and neophytes alike will soon swarm downtown. If you’re of the latter group, you should know that all current jazz movements have deep, solid roots. If the iconic names of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk, and Miles Davis don’t immediately bring certain songs and styles to mind, sign up for the Eastman School of Music’s “Introduction to Jazz History” course, taking place during the Jazz Festival, and located conveniently in the part of town the festival takes place.

Refreshments will be available!

KIDS | BUGGY BONANZA

SPECIAL EVENT | WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

Along with the sunshine and the feel-good temperatures of summer comes the inevitable arrival of bugs, to the dismay of many. But much of the fear of creepy crawlies comes from a misunderstanding of them and their role in the environment.

If the kids (or you, for that matter) are having a hard time making pals with “pests,” or if you love them and would like to learn more, visit the National Museum of Play (1 Manhattan Square) on Saturday, June 11, for Buggy Bonanza.

World Wrestling Entertainment is bringing its Raw World Tour to Rochester’s Blue Cross Arena Saturday, June 11. This exciting, power-packed show is headlined by the WWE championship match between John Cena (pictured), the Miz, and CM Punk. Watch these wrestling superstars battle it out for the winning title in Rochester for the first time in three years. The show takes place at 7:30 p.m. and will also feature Alberto Del Rio, Kofi Kingston, R-Truth, the Divas and many more grapplers. Whether you were a WWE fan as a child, want to bring your kids, or just enjoy the adrenaline rush, the show should entertain. Tickets range cost $15-$60; for more information visit bluecrossarena.com. — BY ALEXANDRA CARMICHAEL

Inspect insects live and up-close from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. as a museum entomologist and a horticulturist reveal fascinating facts about tarantulas, hissing cockroaches, and scorpions, as well as various plants. Make a butterfly craft and meet Marti the Monarch, the museum’s strolling butterfly mascot. You can also learn about Cornell University’s Lost Ladybug Project, which teaches people to spot common and rare ladybugs in their own backyards. While in house, check out the museum’s Dancing Wings Butterfly Garden, which contains hundreds of colorful butterflies in a tropical environment, as well as a toucan, turtles, tortoises, hummingbirds, and Chinese button quail. And if the weather’s nice, visit the museum’s outdoor Discovery Garden and try to find unique insects on your own.

All Buggy Bonanza activities are included in general museum admission, which is $10-$12, and free to children under age 2. Admission to the butterfly garden is an additional $2 for members, $4 for nonmembers.

And next week, the museum will debut a new interactive exhibit, “Five Friends from Japan.” The opening celebration on Saturday, June 18, 11 a.m.-4 p.m., will include Japanese crafts, martial arts, and drumming. For more information, call 263-2700, or visit museumofplay.org.

SPECIAL EVENTS | CAR SHOWS AND CRUISE INS

SPECIAL EVENT | ARCHITECTURE FOR LUNCH

This weekend is a great time to be a car fan in Rochester.

There are several car shows taking place, starting with Cruise in the Park Saturday, June 11, hosted by Street Machines of Rochester. This free event will take place 4-8 p.m. in Badgerow Park on Lake Road in Greece. Hundreds of enthusiasts will bring their wheels to compete for titles including best cruiser, best modern car, best classic car, and best bike.

The work day can seem torturously long during the summer, especially when you know there’s nice weather outside. Instead of staying in for your lunch break, how about taking a walk while learning something new at the same time? The Landmark Society of Western New York is offering 20-minute tours of downtown designed to fit into anyone’s lunchtime schedule.

“Architecture for Lunch” is led by local expert Cynthia Howk, who will teach participants about significant buildings, social history, and architectural facts. The tours are free and take place on the Fridays of June 10, 17, and 24 from 12:10 to 12:35 p.m. The first tour will meet at the Powers Building (16 W. Main St.). Subsequent tours will leave from Washington Square Park and Eastman Place. Pick your favorite neighborhood, or explore all three. Either way you’ll get exercise and an education, all while escaping the office. Visit landmarksociety. org for more information. — BY ALEXANDRA CARMICHAEL

Then on Sunday, June 12, Street Machines of Rochester will hold its 37th Annual Outdoor Show that will feature more than 500 cars, trucks, and bikes from all over New York and Canada. The show will also take place in Badgerow Park. Whether you like classic cars, antiques, motorcycles, street rods, or race cars, there’s something for everybody. Gates open at 9 a.m. and admission is $3 for spectators, free for kids 12 and under, and $15 to register your car in the show. Visit streetmachinesofrochester.com or call 663-0393 for more information.

Pittsford will also hold its free International Auto and Bike Show Sunday, June 12, noon-5 p.m. It will take place in the municipal parking lot behind Thirsty’s on State Street. Check out old cars, motorcycles, engines, and everything else a car show should have. Raffle tickets will be sold and all proceeds will go to CURE, a group dedicated to supporting children with cancer.

Comic books and movies, origins and prequels [ review ] by george grella

“X-Men: First Class” (PG-13), directed by Matthew Vaughn Now playing

As “X-Men: The First Class” demonstrates, the cinema follows the rules and traditions of comic books, particularly Marvel Comics, among them the one that operates when the well of imagination runs dry: when in doubt, do an origins story or, as they call them in the motionpicture racket, a prequel. That dictum explains the movie, which reaches back into the past to examine the group of mutants as they discover their difference from other human beings, learn

to use their extraordinary powers, and in effect grow into their place in the world.

Perhaps more ambitious than its predecessors in the franchise, the picture shows scenes from the childhood and youth of several of the famous characters, concentrating especially on the scholarly telepath Charles Xavier (James McAvoy), leader of the gang, the shape-shifting Raven (Jennifer Lawrence), and the powerful Magneto (Michael Fassbender). It establishes the particular abilities of each person and explores the connections between the gift and its possessor, the ways in which the talent both expresses and shapes the individual.

Although set in 1962, the movie skips through time and intercuts among its characters, who end up actually speaking five different languages, showing for example the terrible experiences of Magneto as a child in a Nazi concentration camp, the source of the rage that drives his destructive energies. It dwells somewhat more gently on Xavier’s time at Oxford with his adopted sister,

Raven, studying evolutionary biology — the movie may not draw well in those regions that reject Darwin — and seducing young women through witty discussions of mutation. He and Magneto eventually connect and embark on the task of searching out and collecting other mutants for the CIA, which reluctantly acknowledges the advantages of their powers in the Cold War. While the X-Men begin their collaboration, another group of mutants, led by Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) and the pneumatic Emma Frost (January Jones), aspires to the usual comic-book goal of world domination, and therefore cast their lot with the Evil Empire, otherwise known as the Soviet Union.

Shaw, whose ability to absorb and control energy keeps him young, originally spotted Magneto’s talent in the concentration camp where he conducted experiments on inmates and tormented the young boy, earning his everlasting hatred. Magneto’s lust for revenge leads to one of the most unusual killings in contemporary blockbuster cinema.

Rather more imaginatively than its predecessors in the franchise, the movie proceeds through a series of confrontations between good mutants and bad mutants, with the usual panoply of stunts and special effects — attacks with tornadoes, flash freezing, indiscriminate heaving of massive objects, and so forth. This picture, however, drastically revises history, so that the obligatory Armageddon, ordinarily a

“Meek’s Cutoff” (PG), directed by Kelly Reichardt Opens Friday

most predictable battle between supernatural powers, turns out to be the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, instigated and assisted by Shaw’s gang and thwarted by the X-Men. Who knew?

Aside from the curious approach to a known past and all those displays of mutant magic, the film promotes the familiar themes of Marvel Comics, which many readers mistake for a degree of intelligent content, supposedly setting their publications above the competition. In keeping with the outfit that purveyed the confused theology of the Silver Surfer and the adolescent insecurities of Spider-Man, the script repeats all the tiresome business of teenage angst and juvenile self-pity, with a deeper subtext of skin issues and sexual coming of age. The mutants talk endlessly about their identity, their place in the world, the way people discriminate against them, how sad it all is, and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseam.

All that talk concludes with the mutants making some important choices about their role in the world and the course of action they will follow; the choices naturally provide the background for the stories that follow, which means the movies that have already appeared (got that?). No one in the picture rises above the superficial requirements for performance in a blockbuster, though January Jones as Emma Frost stands out as a stunning blond dominatrix who, when not killing people, spends the whole picture in a variety of costumes displaying an impressive cleavage, not, by the way, connected to her own mutant abilities.

Film critics Manohla Dargis and A.O. Scott joined forces for an essayish-type thing in a recent New York Times entitled “In Defense of the Slow and the Boring,” in which they addressed writer Dan Kois’ published lament of what he dubbed “cultural vegetables.” Spurred on by the cautious pacing and intensive detail of Kelly Reichardt’s neo-Western “Meek’s Cutoff,” Kois wrote that he often feels pressured to choke down art that’s deemed good for you, and as an unabashed fan of cinematic junk food, I can totally relate. But it comes down to this: either a movie speaks to you or it doesn’t, nutritional value be damned. My mind wandered off during “Hangover 2” and “Pirates 4,” which many wouldn’t consider slow or boring. I found myself oddly riveted, though, to the deliberate yet confident artistry of “Meek’s Cutoff.”

A hand-stitched sampler makes up the title card for “Meek’s Cutoff,” which places us in Oregon circa 1845 with a wagon train of settlers carefully making

their way across a river. As we become immersed in the particulars of the work that goes into transporting one’s home and family in the mid-19th century, an overheard conversation clues us in to the conflict. The settlers are lost, despite hiring an experienced guide named Stephen Meek. A real-life historical character played by an unrecognizably furry Bruce Greenwood (“Barney’s Version”), Meek is a blustery braggart, and the menfolk are in furtive discussion whether to string the nonperforming Meek up from the wagon frame or continue on with him in the hopes that he fulfill his contract.

As the settlers trudge through the High Desert, the group dynamic allows their individual personalities to gradually come in to focus. We get the sense that Soloman Tetherow (the invaluable Will Patton, “Brooklyn’s Finest”) is their de facto leader, with helpmate Emily (Oscar nominee Michelle Williams, “Blue Valentine”) his calm and practical tether. Accompanying them are the soft-spoken Thomas Gately (Paul Dano, “There Will Be Blood”) and his wide-eyed wife, Millie (Zoe Kazan, “It’s Complicated”), as well as the Bible-toting William White (Neal Huff, “The Wire”) along with the pregnant, watchful Glory (Shirley Henderson, Moaning Myrtle from the “Harry Potter” films) and their preteen son. The men make the fate-altering decisions while the women tend to the life-sustaining chores; whether grinding coffee or gathering kindling, Reichardt has no qualms about illustrating the work in all its mundane but still-absorbing detail.

Debut cinematographer Chris Blauvelt captures the evocative imagery that embraces nature’s cruel beauty in that leisurely, swooning Malick way, shooting in a surprising flat-screen ratio (rather than the Western genre’s expected wide-screen) that illustrates the restrictions of their increasingly desperate situation. “Meek’s

Cutoff” amps up the tension (as well as the imperialism allegory) with the capture of the Indian (stuntman Rod Rondeaux); the stubborn Dubya — er, Meek wants him to atone for the sins of others, but the settlers hope the unarmed Cayuse scout will lead them to some badly needed water.

Emily’s kindly humanity toward the native is not so much Christian compassion as it is shrewd gambit (“I want him to owe me somethin’,” she states) and it sets her up for a long-brewing showdown with Meek, still unwilling to part with his arrogance.

“Meek’s Cutoff” is Reichardt’s fourth feature; her previous film, 2008’s acclaimed “Wendy and Lucy,” also explored the perils of isolation, both economic and emotional.

But she’s upped the ante to literal life and death with a fact-based screenplay by frequent collaborator Jonathan Raymond, whose light hand with the dialogue here forces him to choose his words prudently, powerfully. And Reichardt is in no hurry either, letting us come by the story rather than telling us outright. “Meek’s Cutoff” is awesomely self-assured moviemaking but a construction that, yes, some people will find both slow and boring. It definitely helps to know what you’re in for. This ain’t no John Wayne film.

That’s not to say, however, there aren’t moments of breath-holding excitement; the same measured pace Reichardt employs as her characters walk across a seemingly limitless landscape is even more effective as Williams’ Emily gets off one rifle shot, then goes through the laborious, real-time process of reloading while terrified. And though Patton and especially Greenwood are excellent, Williams is the standout; she previously teamed with Reichardt for “Wendy and Lucy” (as did Patton), and she rewards her director’s continued faith with an austere, controlled performance that nonetheless manages to run the gamut of feelings, from tenderness to fury.

A Precious Gem on Pearl Street

16 Pearl Street

Just south of lower Monroe Avenue and listed for only $74,900, 16 Pearl Street is a quirky and fun historic home. The house’s exterior remains true to its 1900 roots, featuring a Victorian mauve-and-ruby color scheme and a five-sided turret to delight your inner Rapunzel. A previous owner thoughtfully replaced decaying shingles with sturdy wooden clapboard, and most of the home’s double-hung windows remain intact.

Inside are some surprises that could either satisfy someone looking for a contemporary space wrapped up in a historic package, or challenge a restorationist looking for a manageable project. Situated just off the front entrance, the large living room appears even more spacious, with soaring ceilings that have been opened to the second story. All four of the large windows in the front of the house look over this living area, and arches have been widened between this space and the dining room, and on to the newer kitchen addition at the back of the house. The kitchen opens onto a sweet and private pocket yard, replete with perennial beds, a fountain, and a stone patio.

From this tranquil oasis, it’s hard to believe you are less than a half mile from the Inner Loop, the National Museum of Play, and the bustle of Monroe Avenue. Adjacent to the dining room is a handy first-floor laundry room that could be re-converted back to a guest room if desired.

Past a spacious half bath and up the foyer stairs is the turret space, with hardwood floors and a stunning balcony overlooking the living room. This area is currently used as an office, but would be equally charming as a reading or play nook.

The second floor of this home has been reconfigured to include a master suite, which retains the original bedroom’s French doors.

These doors likely originally opened to a hallway but now overlook the dramatic twostory living room. The bedroom is enormous, with a vaulted ceiling, skylight, and space for a sitting area. The en suite bath, which is also accessible from the other second floor bedroom, likewise boasts a vaulted ceiling with skylight. With a soaking tub, separate shower, and double sinks, it is quite a stunner!

This would be the perfect home for any individual or couple interested in owning a historic home with contemporary flair close to the city center, or for empty nesters looking for an alternative to urban condo living. For more information on this 1782 square foot home, visit http://rochestercityliving.com/ property/R158232 or call Phil Giardino at Realty USA (585-820-4100).
