Climate change: extreme farming So much of farming depends on the weather.

Too much rain in the spring can delay crop planting. Cows respond to high temperatures by producing less milk. And cold winters keep crop pests and diseases in check.

Weather varies from year to year: a fact of life that farmers must accept. They know that some springs will be wetter than others and that some summers will bring scorching droughts. And whether it’s a wet, dry, or balanced year affects crop yields.

But climate change is affecting agriculture in quantifiable, long-term trends that go beyond the

typical year-to-year variability of weather. Researchers are finding shifts in precipitation, drought, and temperature patterns. In the coming years and decades, farmers will have to make important choices about what they plant and when they plant it, how they manage their crops, and how they invest in equipment and facilities.

And there are implications outside of the farms.

Food prices and availability are one issue, and the broader economic health of the state is another.

JULY 18-24, 2012

urban journal | by mary anna towler

Facing facts on violence Rochester is more than a decade into an epidemic of violence – a specific kind of violence: young black men shooting at, and too often killing, other young black men.

Can we talk about this?

If we can’t, we’ll never address it effectively.

From January 1 through June, Rochester had 22 murders. Most of them took place in the curving swath of the inner city known as the Crescent. Most of the victims were young black males. So, police say, were most of the killers.

The police will do what they traditionally do when the violence rate ticks up: put more resources into the Crescent, stop and question more people, clamp down on petty infractions. And that may help – for a while.

But it’s not a solution. It deals with the symptom, not the roots. The roots are in the joblessness and poverty that have developed, in highly concentrated form, in Rochester and in many of America’s inner cities. And it’s not news that joblessness and poverty have hit black Americans disproportionately hard.

Poverty itself doesn’t cause people to become violent. But Rochester, like many other cities, is dealing with multigenerational joblessness and poverty, says RIT criminal-justice expert John Klofas.

And black-on-black violence – youngblack on young-black violence – is one of the results.

Clearly, black boys are not born with a propensity for violence. Most black boys don’t become violent. But a higher percentage of them engage in violent behavior than do white boys. And a higher percentage of them are killed on the streets of America’s inner cities, where poverty and unemployment are high.

I’ve heard some liberals suggest that young black men turn to crime because they have “lost hope.” That’s too facile an explanation. Black teenagers do not shoot other black teenagers because they’ve lost hope.

“Hope,” says Klofas, “implies some sort of expectation,” and hopelessness a loss of expectation. People who have a job and lose it may lose hope after years of fruitless searching. But if their children aren’t able to get jobs when they become adults, and then their grandchildren? The result, suggests Klofas, is “a blindness. You grow up without even an expectation.”

What we’re faced with is a problem of depressing complexity. Right now, Klofas notes, we have “a difficult economy, an

As violence in Rochester increases, the police will try to do their job. But that does not deal with the cause.” educational system that doesn’t function very well,” generations of people with a poor education and few skills, and very few jobs for which they are suited.

We have, Klofas says, “completely failed to provide an avenue for people to have hope.”

To effectively stop the violence, to change the culture in which it is developing, will require changing the institutions that serve the families trapped in poverty: schools, housing, social services.

That won’t be easy or cheap. Klofas and I both believe, for instance, that it will require giving families access to schools and neighborhoods that are not overwhelmed by poverty. Many of those schools and neighborhoods are in the suburbs.

But it will also require job training, job opportunities. Jobs. At a decent wage.

Rochester hasn’t completely ignored this, but we offer nowhere near what will be necessary.

As low-skill, well-paying jobs have disappeared in America, nothing has developed to replace them. And as generation after generation have grown up jobless, and the employed moved out, inner-city poverty and unemployment rates have risen. And a culture of expectation – of employment, of stability, of a decent living – has been snuffed out.

This year’s murder rate isn’t the highest in Rochester’s history. But it’s unacceptable, and it’s rising. The police will try to do their job, which is to deal with the effect of the development of multi-generational poverty. That does not deal with the cause, though. We’re not even talking about the cause, or how to address it.

Most white mothers in Greater Rochester don’t worry that their sons will end up dead or in prison. Many AfricanAmerican mothers do. That we permit that to happen is one of the most important moral issues of our time.

MCC downtown: Sibley or Kodak?

If floor space and ownership are the issues, the county needs to frame the discussion around those two issues (“A Downtown Campus, from MCC’s Perspective,” News Blog).

Until now, the county has framed the discussion around “security.”

Anybody who knows Rochester knows that it’s absurd to talk about the Kodak site as being somehow more secure than downtown. Compared to the High Falls-Jay Street-Lyell Ave-Lake Ave neighborhood where Kodak is located, downtown is a real safety net. We’re talking about something that’s really a well-trafficked, well-policed, well-populated professional office area versus something which is frankly, well, not squarely within yet on the very cusp of the ghetto.

The main thing here, and I think Mayor Richards hits the nail on the head, is that a critical component of MCC’s charge is to provide accessible education to the city community. Positioning within downtown is critical because students are reliant upon RTS buses: any city campus needs to be not just downtown, but within close proximity to the bus lineups. Kodak on the other hand is not even downtown. It’s in the High Falls neighborhood and leaning towards Lyell Avenue-Lake Avenue at that.

If the Sibley Building is no longer suitable for MCC’s downtown campus, the real question is what other downtown location is available? Moving the downtown campus outside City

of downtown just doesn’t constitute a valid option.

This whole MCC project makes no sense at all. I’m all for growing downtown, but building this two miles from the sprawling (lost of room for expansion) Brighton campus is foolish (“A Downtown Campus, from MCC’s Perspective,” News Blog).

If you want a second campus, how about putting it in the northern part of the county. I suggest the vacant Kodak parking lots at Lake and Ridge, next to Kodak’s research buildings. New construction and plenty of room for expansion. Furthermore, this could serve people from Hamlin, Parma, Greece, northern Rochester, Irondequoit, and Webster.

Wouldn’t it be wiser to have a north campus and a south campus, rather than a south-central and a south campus? When school administrators make these nonsensical decisions, how are they legitimately qualified to teach our students?

who have been drafted, and wars go on and on, and we pay for them handsomely.

I am for the re-institution of the military draft.

It’s not perfect, and it can be unfair. But I am convinced that if we had a military draft, we would have been out of Iraq and Afghanistan a long time ago. The families of this country would have been pounding the streets and government offices in Washington, D.C., demanding the end of the wars. Our dedicated, competent military “volunteers” are being “used.”

Yes, a military draft is unpopular. But wouldn’t it demand greater common sense and balance to the military engagements we find ourselves in? Wouldn’t it be worth it to do anything that would save the unnecessary cost and destruction of lives and families? With the draft, military people would not be shipped out without a totally good reason, one that enjoys the approval of the American people, not just those in government.

Bring back the draft

The Afghanistan war is the longest in US history.

Could there be any reason for this? We have an allvolunteer military. Because of that, those responsible in government for making decisions about military engagement can wave off criticism and ultimate accountability by simply saying: they are all volunteers.

These volunteers do outstanding work in defending out country, and we are always grateful to those who serve, and especially those who volunteer. Yet could our gratitude be in part because when volunteers serve so generously, other sons and daughters don’t have their lives interrupted and aren’t put in danger? It is easier for those in government to use volunteers than those

Jobs and IDA’s

One of the biggest problems with the IDA’s is that there is little follow-up on job creation (“IDA’s, by the Numbers,” News). No one checks to see if the promised jobs are created, and there is no penalty if they are not.

IDA’s in New York State claim to have created 1.5 million jobs from 2003 to 2009. Yet from 2000 to 2010, the number of jobs in New York remained roughly unchanged at 6 million.

One of the biggest projects approved by COMIDA is the Irondequoit Mall project, but nothing has been done on this and none of the promised jobs have been created. Yet the owner continues to enjoy his tax breaks. Too often this is what development through IDA’s looks like.

Show on violence wasn’t responsible

I was appalled and infuriated listening to WXXI’s 1370 Connection show on July 10 on cutting violence in the city. Although I appreciate the frustration and challenge that law enforcement confronts daily, I felt the dialogue between host Bob Smith and Police Chief Sheppard did not delve into the true depth and broader elements at play in violent behavior.

C’mon: blaming the recent rise in violent crime in our area on “the heat”?

Really? And then host Smith referred to when he was young (and I’m paraphrasing here), it was all about fistfights and all anyone came away with was a bruised or injured jaw, but with knives and guns someone could die.

Well, Mr. Smith that wasn’t the only harm created in that so-called “harmless” violence. The psychological damage to the individual and society at large from our misguided acceptance of violent behavior is tremendous.

It is not the tools of violence that are the motivating and destructive forces (though less access to killing apparatuses would definitely lessen fatalities). Entertaining our thoughts of violence is what leads to violent actions. Thoughts are pretty much involuntary acts, but it is in how we allow our thoughts to mold us into action and reaction that our behavior can become estranged from common sense and decency.

Sadly, this wasn’t the most egregious error on this program. A caller went on what I would describe as a racist, classist, bigoted commentary that neither the host nor the police chief challenged or discredited.

The person continued unchecked, hung up, and the show moved on without any reference to the caller’s condemnation of two cultures.

Basically (and again I’m paraphrasing) the caller said lack of family values was the reason for the violence, and that blacks and Hispanics need to learn not to have children and black

and Hispanic males need to learn how to be fathers.

I was aghast, first to hear someone say something so blatantly discriminatory on the air but worse yet that it went unchallenged. Totally disrespectful and indecent on all sides. I was ashamed to be a citizen of this city at that moment.

Please, as people in public view, stand up for what is honorable, just, and fair.

Your presence and analysis on the radio impact a large and broad spectrum of our community and require a high level of responsibility on your part.

A weak Obama

This is all too typical of Democrats (“Be Proud, Democrats!” Feedback): Fall in line and blindly support.

That’s the reason I am no longer a Democrat.

“It’s an imperfect law…we need to improve on it” are not weak responses. They are honest responses. Obama’s health-care law is, at best, weak, and it gives me nothing but hope when I hear elected representatives state this. It gives me hope that someone will want to continue to improve health care in America instead of being happy simply because their is a law.

Adding gay marriage to the mix, Obama graces the cover of locally distributed Pride 2012 magazines and some in the gay press, if there is such a thing, are falling over themselves to praise the president for paying lip service to gay marriage. But it is just that, lip service.

The president doesn’t intend to do anything other than announce his support. What I really don’t understand is how an African American could admit to “wrestling” with the idea of equal rights.

Jill Stein, presidential candidate for the Green Party, and the Green Party itself have never wrestled with equal rights or the issue of gay marriage. They have always stood up for it. So Obama’s words are again, weak.

Funeral legislation squashed

Democratic proposals regarding indigent burials were promptly rejected

by Republican County Legislature President Jeff Adair. The proposals would have increased the amount people get to bury a family member from $1,250 to $1,850, and required cemeteries receiving county funds for indigent burials to maintain minimum standards.

Bad stats

Robberies, shootings, and homicides are up this year, according to the Rochester police department’s mid-year crime report. Violent crime, which includes murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault is up 4.8 percent. The only category of violent crime to see a decline is aggravated assault.

Lej approves capital plan

The County Legislature passed its five-year plan for construction and infrastructure projects with only Republican support.

The Capital Improvement Program includes Monroe Community College’s proposed new downtown campus at Kodak’s State Street complex. Dems

says the Legislature needs further debate on MCC.

News

Familiar face eyes the Lej

Former Democratic County Legislator Stephanie Aldersley is looking to return to her old seat. The office’s current occupant, Vinnie Esposito, is resigning and Democrats will need to appoint someone to take his place. Republican Joe Carbone intends to challenge Aldersley or whoever holds the office in November.

Dazzleville or bust

Parking director out

An audit of the High Falls parking garage resulted in the ouster of the head of Rochester’s parking bureau. Director Susan Olley was placed on administrative leave and will soon leave city employment, said a press release from the city. The audit, which was conducted by the city’s Office of Public Integrity, found numerous problems with the operation of the High Falls garage.

Those include inadequate controls over monthly keycards, and several cases where city enforcement officers, customer service employees, and security personnel were given free parking. Molly Clifford, the city’s director of fire administration, is running the parking bureau until Olley’s replacement is hired.

Anne Harvey’s plans for “Dazzleville” include a playground and a mini “art walk” project. Harvey is executive director of Dazzle School.

I have no idea why Anne Harvey’s hair is so short, but I can guess.

This close-cropped, tattooed, 1,200-horsepower — the engine on her old motorcycle — get-onor-get-out neighborhood warrior is transforming Beechwood, one lot at a time. Hair is for wusses.

“I’m a visionary,” she says. “I can’t dance or sing. I can’t act. But I can see the picture…out there. I can usually do what I want, unless some idiot comes along and screws me totally.”

She’s earned the right to talk that way. Harvey is executive director of Dazzle School, a nonprofit visual and performing arts school on Webster Avenue in northeast Rochester’s Beechwood neighborhood. But like spilled ink — Harvey’s metaphor — Dazzle’s influence and impact is spreading.

Dazzle owns a theater next door to its school, and formed a limited liability company which bought a large vacant building near the theater and three lots across the street. Harvey says she wants to renovate the building for classrooms, computer and

Bar & Grill

photography labs, kitchen, and library. And she plans to turn the vacant lots into a playground.

“We’re starting to burst at the seams here,” Harvey says. “And I get bored quick.”

To top it off, she wants to create a mini “art walk” on Webster, with artistic benches, poles, and other features on the street to tie the properties together. It would run, she says, from Grand to Parsells avenues.

She’s taken to calling the little realm “Dazzleville.” Fund-raising has started, aided by a $15,000 grant for the playground.

“Beechwood has just kind of taken over me,” Harvey says. “There’s something about it. There is so much potential and so much good here.

I want to be one of the people who helps give Beechwood what they want and need.”

More information on Harvey’s plans: 288-0050.

Monroe to lead sustainability effort

School 16’s fate unclear

A $900,000 state grant will fund the development of a sustainability plan for the Rochester region, and Monroe County officials will lead the effort.

The plan is part of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s Cleaner, Greener Communities program. The idea is to get local governments and communities thinking about energy issues and greenhouse gas emissions, says NYSERDA spokesperson Dayle Zatlin.

Although Monroe County is technically receiving the grant and overseeing the project, the plan will cover the same nine counties as the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council. And each of those counties will be involved in the plan’s development. An executive committee will guide the effort.

Justin Roj, deputy commissioner of Monroe County’s Department of Environmental Services, says one of the first steps will be to conduct a greenhouse gas inventory. Using that data, the executive committee will look for ways to reduce those emissions, Roj says.

“The main goal of the project is to see where you can have environmental benefit and economic development,” he says.

Committee members will also look at topics including transportation, storm water management, waste water treatment, land use planning, and the potential for building retrofits.

Some possible Justin Roj. energy generation PHOTO BY JEREMY MOULE projects will be included in the plan, Roj says. For example, Monroe County’s waste water treatment operations use anaerobic digestion, which is a way to break down biodegradable material.

That process could also be used to create energy, Roj says.

The plan will tie in with the work of the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council. The executive committee will develop project proposals, which will be reviewed and scored by the Council and then passed along to NYSERDA to compete with proposals from other parts of the state. The state is setting aside up to $90 million for the winning projects.

The long-term future of School 16 on Post Avenue will be decided in the context of a comprehensive inventory of the Rochester school district’s facilities. In the short term, however, School 16 will likely close and all students and staff relocated because of what Superintendent Bolgen Vargas says are pressing problems with the building. Those problems include peeling paint and floor tiles. One School 16 teacher said at a public hearing last week that there is excessive heat in the classrooms, and complained about mouse droppings. | More than one person at the hearing said that the problems at School 16 were well-known and well-reported, and it’s unconscionable that the school has been neglected for so long. | Three options for School 16 have been presented, but Vargas said after last week’s hearing that he would most likely recommend relocating all students and staff before school starts in the fall. The school board is expected to vote on a plan at its monthly meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 26. | On a more ominous note, Vargas said he would release a report in the fall on the district’s space needs versus its inventory. The ultimate fate of School 16 will be decided against that backdrop, he said.

The Mt. Morris miracle

Village merchants have adopted a patriotic theme in honor of Francis Bellamy, author of the Pledge of Allegiance, who was born in Mt. Morris. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

Mt. Morris is no stranger to hard times. The “Best Town by a Dam Site” was once a thriving community with retail shops, restaurants, and its own movie theater. But by the 1990’s, Mt. Morris, like many small towns in Western New York, was gripped by a slow, steady decline.

Main Street had so many empty storefronts that Christmas decorations were placed in the windows during the holidays so the village wouldn’t look so depressed, says one shopkeeper.

But faux displays shouldn’t be needed this year. Mt. Morris, about 30 miles south of Rochester with a population of about 3,500, is undergoing a startling transformation. Quaint cafes and gift and antique shops line Main Street. Locals and

visitors are browsing and buying again.

And much of the change is being credited to developer and retired New York City detective Greg O’Connell.

It might seem like O’Connell appeared suddenly like a benevolent godfather. But he says he was familiar with the area long before he began investing in Mt. Morris’s Main Street three years ago. O’Connell graduated from SUNY Geneseo in the late 1960’s, and he owns a home on Geneseo-Avon Road.

It was prodding from a close friend that stirred his instinct for real estate development, he says.

“It was nothing that I planned,” O’Connell says. But after sitting down with longtime Geneseo merchant Louise Wadsworth, O’Connell says he was sold on the town’s potential.

“She’s like Miss Main Street,” he says. “You know how people have photo albums of their family and kids? Well, Louise had photo albums of Main Street [Mt. Morris], each individual store, and the history of who owned the building. I had never seen anything like it.”

O’Connell proceeded to discretely purchase 20 buildings on Main Street, most of them vacant.

The owners of 13 of the buildings were behind in their taxes. Some buildings were purchased through public auctions, and at least one was bank-owned by the time O’Connell closed on the sale.

“To reach that point, you know that just about all of them were in poor condition,” he says.

Questa Lasagna owner Tim Knowles says he draws customers from SUNY Geneseo and visitors to Letchworth Park.

O’Connell says the reactions to

his buying up Mt. Morris’s Main

Street went from “You’re crazy” to “How can we help?”

“We went for eight years without a supermarket,” says Jane Oakes, owner of Jane’s Pantry and one of O’Connell’s tenants. “For those of us who remember the pre-I-390 days, it was just sad to see the businesses disappear.

They just went away because people drove right by us. Now we have reasons for people to come here. We’ve gone from moribund to more fun.”

Oakes, who calls herself the “Queen of Licorice of Western New York,” carries more than 60 varieties of the chewy goodies in a store packed to the ceiling with rare and unusual food items.

Like other shop owners, Oakes says she gets a fair number of people remarking on how lovely the town looks, with some even inquiring about living there.

“It’s candy land for houses down here with beautiful homes at unbelievable prices,” she says.

It was O’Connell’s investments and foresight that helped Mt. Morris move out of intensive care, she says.

“I don’t think you would see this amount of revitalization without him,” Oakes says.

From the sheen of its wood floors to the neatly dressed tables and light jazz playing in the background, Questa Lasagna is easily pictured alongside eateries on Rochester’s Park Avenue. Owner Tim Knowles opened the restaurant about two years ago, and he was one of O’Connell’s first tenants. He says opening a restaurant has always been risky, but it’s more so today because the business has become much more expensive to operate.

But Knowles is optimistic. He says he knows he’s got a good product and customers are finding him. More than 800,000 people go to Letchworth State Park in the summer and fall months, with 60 percent driving right through Mt. Morris, he says. Between SUNY Geneseo and

the park, Mt. Morris can attract a viable customer base, Knowles says.

“People take this route going up to Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and Toronto and they’re from all over,” he says. “I had a table full of people visiting from Ireland yesterday.”

Knowles says Main Street’s stores went from empty to nearly full because of one critical factor: low storefront rents. O’Connell agrees.

Even when buildings are purchased well below market value, there are still challenges for a developer — a fact O’Connell knows well.

He began investing in real estate decades ago when he bought rundown and crime-ridden waterfront property in Brooklyn. His Red Hook properties now house dozens of small shops, offices, and restaurants.

New York City’s tax abatement programs stimulated development by persuading people like him to take a chance on the high-stakes world of commercial real estate, O’Connell says.

“Really early on I identified the fact that there was no good tax abatement system set up in these villages like we have in New York City,” he says. So he worked with Livingston County and village officials to create one.

“What I say to government officials is this, ‘If you don’t have the money to give to property owners to help them fix up the property, at least give them a tax abatement,’” O’Connell says.

“Otherwise, what’s the incentive?”

The program allows for a gradual increase in taxes on the improvements over a 12-year period, and the community selects the area to be developed, says Patrick Rountree, Livingston County’s director of economic development.

“It’s all about keeping the rents lower for a longer period of time,” Rountree says.

But it isn’t just about low rents. In addition

to filling his empty storefronts with tenants, O’Connell also had to fill the apartments on the upper floors. Most of the apartments

were vacant and needed complete renovation, he says.

And O’Connell had to help small business owners learn to market themselves. He turned to SUNY Geneseo for help. The college’s students have been involved in everything from beautification projects to publicity about community events to arts activities.

But is Mt. Morris’s revitalization a fluke or can it be replicated in other dying rural communities? O’Connell says he gets that question all the time, and he receives invitations to speak about it from business groups around the country.

“Every community has its personality and its assets,” he says. “That’s true of big cities and small towns. There’s not much difference between urban and rural [development]. In Red Hook it was about bringing the community together, listening to what their needs were, and identifying the assets of the community. Same thing here.”

O’Connell has begun working on another community in Livingston County that has faced hard times. He bought a building on Main Street in Dansville, and he’s looking at other nearby towns for similar opportunities.

“The villages and counties across Western New York are no different than those all across America,” he says. “The people who live here want to take their Main Streets back. How do we do that?”

Climate change EXTREME FARMING ENVIRONMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE | PHOTOS BY MIKE HANLON

This is the second in an occasional series on climate change.

So much of farming depends on the weather.

Too much rain in the spring can delay crop planting. Cows respond to high temperatures by producing less milk. And cold winters keep crop pests and diseases in check.

Weather varies from year to year: a fact of life that farmers must accept. They know that some springs will be wetter than others and that some summers will bring scorching droughts. And whether it’s a wet, dry, or balanced year affects crop yields.

“I guess you’ve got to roll with the punches,” says Kurt Forman, operator and part owner of Clearview Farm in Ontario County.

But climate change is manifesting in the form of quantifiable, long-term trends that go beyond the typical year-to-year variability of weather. For example, precipitation patterns are changing and the growing season has gradually become days longer. Climate change also creates a degree of uncertainty about future growing conditions.

The US Department of Agriculture illustrated one trend when it released its updated plant hardiness zones, which many growers and gardeners use to guide their plantings. This year, the USDA updated the map for the first time in 12 years, and parts of Monroe County were moved into a slightly warmer zone. The reason: over 30 years, the average extreme cold temperatures in the region have gotten less so.

In general, average temperatures across New York are gradually increasing.

Agriculture is a significant industry in New York. It generated approximately $4.7 billion in 2010, says a fact sheet from the state Department of Agriculture and Markets.

Dairy alone is a $2.2 billion business in New York; the state is the fourth-largest dairy producer in the country. It’s the second-largest producer of cabbage and apples, and the thirdlargest grape and wine producer. New York also ranks high in production of tart cherries, sweet corn, pears, onions, and maple syrup.

10 City JULY 18-24, 2012

Many of these crops — livestock, too — are sensitive to certain weather conditions.

A poorly-timed frost, for example, can damage apple and grape crops. That happened to New York growers this spring; peach and cherry crops were also damaged.

But New York’s farmers have to think beyond local weather and climate. Many crops are sold into and compete in global markets.

If Midwest wheat production tanks, for example, Russia’s wheat crop becomes more valuable and more important to the global food supply. Or if shifts in climate change shake up European winemaking but improve conditions for Finger Lakes growers, local wines could rise in stature. And local wineries could sell more product.

The science is clear: human activities, particularly the use of fossil fuels, are altering global climates. The world’s governments and populations have failed to take the actions necessary to stop climate change and farmers must now adapt.

Plants and crops need water, but too much at

the wrong time or too little over an extended period can cause problems.

“I think we’re having more extremes,” says Forman, the Ontario County organic farmer.

“We’ll get some really, really wet weather and then we’ll get some really, really dry weather.”

Forman says his biggest fear is a growing season that starts out very wet and then turns very dry. That happened last year when the region had a wet spring, but then turned dry.

If it’s wet early, the plants don’t grow as far into the ground, where the soil takes longer to dry out. If the weather turns dry and stays dry, then the plants can’t get the moisture they need.

Last year’s dry spell ended in July and Forman used the opportunity to plant a second round of vegetable crops, including summer squash, basil, cilantro, and bok choy. He had some success. Aided by mild temperatures, Forman harvested bok choy into December.

Research backs up Forman’s observations about extremes. Patterns of precipitation and dryness are changing across New York. The Rochester area is seeing more heavy rain, defined as an inch or more in a day, than it has in the past, and storms are becoming more intense. Researchers expect that trend to continue. They also project that short-term summer droughts will become increasingly likely as the century advances.

Those trends have real implications for farmers.

Last year’s drought put a lot of stress on Forman’s cabbage-family crops, he says.

The dry weather was a challenge on its own, but it also contributed to insect problems.

Ultimately, beetles killed the plants.

“We did not get anything out of them at all,” Forman says. “And that’s something that I’ve never experienced before.”

To understand the threat that drought poses to

agriculture, look at the Midwest. The region has been suffering through high temperatures and drought, and farmers and scientists expect significant corn and soybean crop losses across much of that region.

And last week, the US Department of Agriculture announced that more than 1,000 counties across 26 states would be declared disaster areas because of drought.

The Midwest is the top corn-producing region in the world. If it loses a lot of its crop, food prices could go up, since corn is an ingredient in many products. Farmers could also see an increase in livestock feed costs, which would likely translate to higher meat and dairy prices for consumers.

Corn losses could even mean gas price increases. Much of the country’s gas supply is blended with some percentage of corn ethanol.

If the Midwest faces long-term challenges to corn growing, New York’s farmers may see some financial incentive — and pressure — to increase their corn acreage.

But New York’s farmers aren’t immune to droughts, themselves. They will, however, have mitigation options. The state has lots of freshwater resources which farmers can use for irrigation, including two Great Lakes, the Finger Lakes, and several rivers. For at least some farmers, however, that may mean purchasing expensive new equipment.

Average temperatures, particularly winter temperatures, are increasing across New York.

Average temperatures have increased by 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit each decade since the 1970’s, says a comprehensive climate report published earlier this year by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. Average winter temperatures have increased by 1.2 degrees Fahrenheit each decade, the report says.

The report predicts milder winters heading into the future, too. It says that the Rochester area traditionally has 133 days a year where the temperature is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. But by the 2080’s, between 53 and 106 days could fall below that same threshold, the report says.

The temperature shifts could bring opportunities for grape growers and wineries.

Longer growing seasons combined with warmer winters would provide vineyards with better conditions for cultivating European red grapes.

“Historically in our area, we’ve been able to do the whites pretty well: rieslings and some of those,” says David Wolfe, a professor of plant and soil ecology at Cornell University.

“But the cabernets and the merlots, those red wine grapes, they need a longer growing season, a little bit warmer temperatures.”

But climate change may create some challenges for the European wine regions that have traditionally bred and grown these varietals.

France, Italy, and Spain tend to produce and classify wines by region: think Burgundy, Chianti, or Rioja. An article published in

February by Yale Environment 360 says that climate change could mean that the regions that traditionally grow specific grapes will no longer provide optimal conditions for those varietals.

The US wine industry is newer than Europe’s and does not have the centuries of winemaking tradition that some European countries have. So American winemakers would have more flexibility to shift their production areas, the article says.

Grapes and wine represent the nature of adaptation: embracing opportunities as well as anticipating and responding to problems.

And while warmer temperatures may mean opportunities for grape growers, they don’t erase a key risk: frost.

Mild winters like the one the Rochester area just had can result in plants budding earlier, when temperatures can swing significantly.

If there’s a frost or freeze, the buds could be stunted or killed. Fruit crops are especially vulnerable, says the NYSERDA report.

Cornell’s Wolfe, who was a lead author of the

agriculture section of the NYSERDA report, says that farmers now ask him about insects and crop diseases. While in the past, New York had some protection from pests, because the cold winters would kill off a lot of insects.

Crops may benefit from a longer growing season, but so may some pest insects. More warm days may lead to several generations of certain insects in a single growing season.

“It’s going to be much more complex because you have to not just think about what your father and your grandfather had to face in terms of pests,” Wolfe says. “But now you’ve got to think about what’s south of you and which of those things might be coming your way.”

The changing climate could make some crop diseases more prevalent, too. The NYSERDA report uses late blight — the fungus behind the Irish potato famine, though it affects tomatoes, too — as an

TOP:

example. Wetter weather encourages the fungus’s growth. (This year, the state warned of a confirmed outbreak in Suffolk County.)

Shifts in the climate could also bring in new invasive weeds, which compete with and choke out crops and native plants.

Ultimately, farmers will have to make choices: what to plant and when to plant it,

whether and how to raise livestock, and how to invest in their operations.

Wolfe says that researchers are developing forecasting tools to help farmers make those decisions. That may mean further clarifying the long-term changes in the climate.

Researchers are also developing models for different regions of the state.

Farmers may have to shift planting dates, and they may have to plant different varieties of crops. For example, some apple varieties handle mild winters better than others.

Diversifying crops is important, too. That

way, if one crop has a bad year, farmers have another crop to fall back on. Forman says that’s helped him during some tough years.

Crop farmers can also look at different ways of managing their fields. In conventional farming, crops are often sprayed with chemicals to combat pests and diseases. Integrated pest management is a popular alternative that makes chemical applications a last resort. It instead relies on crop diversity, soil health, analysis, and monitoring. But there’s a catch: the state keeps trying to cut funding for integrated pest management programs.

Dairy farmers have options of their own, such as putting cooling systems in the barns to help keep milk yields up. But it’s an expensive investment that a farmer would want to weigh carefully.

“If you’re building a dairy barn today, I guess what I’m saying is, you don’t want to build it based on yesterday’s climate,” Wolfe says. rochestercitynewspaper.com City 11

Webster’s newest eatery is the Empire Bar & Grill, which opened last month at 2014 Empire Blvd. The offerings are quite extensive, with bar-food standbys like nachos, potato skins, and chicken wings (such as sweet Thai chili and a deep-fried-then-sauced-then-char-grilled Werewolf version) sharing menu real estate with salads, pasta, and certified Angus beef burgers. Look for two takes on the newly, wildly popular Juicy Lucy, which is basically a burger stuffed with cheese and other goodness. For more details, go to empirebarandgrill.com.

The next chapter in the ever-evolving tale of 274 North Goodman Street — better known as Village Gate — is underway, with the recent opening of the airy new space now home to California Rollin’ (it formerly held record store The Bop Shop).

Anchored by a sushi bar on one side and a bar of the full-service alcohol variety on the other, the California Rollin’ upgrade is part of Village Gate’s bigger picture, which plans for offices on the second floor and unique retail shops on the first floor, with restaurants like Lento and Dark Horse Coffee, as well as Vibe, a brand-new jazz lounge, surrounding the courtyard to take advantage of the outdoor seating.

This fall should bring with it the opening of Espada, a Brazilian steakhouse concept from Gate House owners Kristen Flores-Fratto and Mike Corson, in the former Ricky’s Place space. In a churrascaria, as these meateries are known — the name is derived from the Portuguese word for “barbecue” — servers carrying skewers laden with different kinds of charcoal-grilled animal proteins (beef, pork, chicken, lamb) slice their juicy wares directly onto the diner’s plate.

Espada’s fledgling website touts a wide

range of vegetarian-friendly side dishes as well as a full bar spotlighting the wines and cocktails of South America. (Mmm, caipirinhas!) More good news: Espada will be almost totally driven by renewable solar and wind power, just like its sister restaurant and neighbor. Keep on top of things at espadasteak.com.

By the way, have you heard about the sushi garbage plate at California Rollin’? It goes a little something like this: a bed of vinegared rice topped with a choice of tempura’d crawdads or tempura’d shrimp, plus bacon, asparagus, avocado, hot sauce, honey mustard, sesame seeds, onion crunchies, and scallions.

For more details, visit californiarollin.com. Or you could just go eat one.

Top chef

The news from the shores of Canandaigua Lake is that the New York Wine & Culinary Center has hired a new executive chef for its revamped restaurant, now called the Upstairs Bistro. Chef Mike Sokolski, a Rochester native, made his bones at places like Chicago’s acclaimed TRU (co-founded, incidentally, by another hometown boy, chef and cookbook author Rick Tramonto) and was most recently executive chef at the Buffalo outpost of JoJo Bistro & Wine Bar. Visit nywcc.com for a taste of what Chef Sokolski has in store.

The successful — and truly yummy — Tony D’s Coal-Fired Pizza (288 Exchange Blvd., tonydsrochester.com) continues its growth in Corn Hill Landing with yet another expansion, this time into the lovely southeastern corner most recently occupied by the noodle bar and tea house known as iTastea (who, in turn, reportedly has plans to resurface in the College Town area by the University of Rochester). Part of the space will be allocated to Chef Jay Speranza and his kitchen staff for more prep room, while the balance, according to owner Tony DiCesare, will house something new from Tony D’s. Pastries?

Gelato, maybe? Stay tuned...

This year’s (re)model

As if anyone really needs an excuse to head to Charlotte in the summer, Mr. Dominic’s at the Lake (4699 Lake Ave.), a Rochester institution since 1976, has opened its doors again following the restaurant’s beautifully done facelift. The menu, of course, continues to be full of Italian-American favorites; check it out at mrdominics.com.

Movin’ on up

Congratulations to Itacate, which is planning a September opening for its new sit-down restaurant at 1859 Penfield Road.

Surf-a-go-go [ review ] by frank de blase

[ POP/ROCK ] The ability to craft earnest, emotional,

and supremely catchy singles has earned singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson an ubiquity both on popular radio and in television. Her songs have been featured no fewer than 10 times on “Grey’s Anatomy” specifically, and at least as many times more in other shows, commercials, and films.

At this show Michaelson is sure to play songs in support of her fifth album, “Human Again,” as she is in the middle of a month-long North American jaunt before she heads off to Australia for some dates in September. Greg Laswell also plays. — BY DAVE LABARGE

Meat Loaf Saturday, July 21 CMAC, 3355 Marvin Sands Drive, Canandaigua 8 p.m. | $20-$80 | cmacevents.com [ Pop/Rock ] I remember declaring that summer was

finally here when “Bat Out of Hell” hit the record player for the first time this season. Sure, the album is older than I am, and the bat has returned and left hell several more times since its initial release. But Meat Loaf is still the hard-hitting, fiery rock star he always was. Who was the one that taught us all that 2/3 was an OK fraction for living, or that even in love, there are some things you just won’t do? Let’s not forget his acting chops: “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” “Fight Club,” “Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny.” If there’s a paradise, may it ever be lit by dashboard lights. — BY WILLIE CLARK

Over the years I’ve had the pleasure to meet and play with some of my guitar heroes.

Some of them are original cats from rock ’n’ roll’s first wave, like Ike Turner, Ronnie Dawson, Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker, Chuck Berry, Link Wray, and Friday night’s star attraction at Water Street Music Hall, surf-guitar innovator/godfather/legend Dick Dale. It’s been a trip meeting all these guys, but over the years I’ve noticed a disconnect.

You tell one of these guitarists that he’s a hero, or how you wore the grooves off his record and off your fingertips — until both melted and bled — learning how to play like them, and inevitably they just kind of look at you. I mean, they’ve all been cordial and appreciative. But they don’t quite get it. You see, in many cases, these guitarists were the creators of their style and its sound.

Whether by accident or out of shear genius, they created it without outside influence.

These heroes had no heroes.

Dick Dale is one of those hero-less heroes, and he stands majestically as one of the greatest guitar players of all time. Last Friday, Water Street Music Hall was packed and electrified by the time Tombstone Hands finished its rough and trashy set.

Dale’s guitar reverberated loud and urgent

from off stage like a Tyrannosaurus Rex with a hard-on. By the time he was on stage, he and his band (including his son Jimmy Dale on drums) were full bore into a full-tilt, breakneck version of “Nitro.”

The crowd went wild, and stayed wild.

Dale still amplifies through vintage Fender tweed, and his sound was magnificently huge. Punctuating his set with stream-ofconscious standards like “House of the Rising Sun” and “Summertime Blues,” Dale tore up and down his neck like a rabid surfer. Or like the guitar player he is, and the hero he never had.

I first saw The B-52’s at the Dome Arena 30 years ago. Thirty years ago! But as much as you may think the band’s show at CMAC this past Saturday was a revival, I’m here to tell you, there is still no one that brings the party like this band. The music is trademark 1950’s sci-fi, surf-a-gogo made into a bunch of hits that the band whipped out and set down. The band was tight and fun, working the crowd to its feet. Squeeze closed the show to a lesser crowd. The B-52’s are a tough act to follow, especially when you got me and bagman Tim Brown singing all the wrong words — loudly — to “Tempted.”

Passing it down Rich Thompson’s Generations Trio Saturday, August 25 Lewiston Jazz Festival, Lewiston, NY 2-4 p.m. | Free | lewistonjazz.com [ PROFILE ] BY RON NETSKY

Rich Thompson will never forget the time when trumpeter Clark Terry’s quintet visited his high school in Bartlesville, Oklahoma.

It was his first taste of world-class jazz and he absorbed all he could from the veteran players. “I was blown away,” says Thompson.

Two decades later, he was drumming with the Count Basie Orchestra, a band full of seasoned musicians in their 60s. Thompson, then in his 30s, profited greatly from playing with the older generation.

“The music has always been passed down for the last 100 years,” says Thompson, who has served as drum-set instructor at Eastman School of Music since 1996. Now 55, he is passing on his knowledge to the two younger members of his Generations Trio: bassist Miles Brown, 34, and pianist Chris Ziemba, 25, both Eastman graduates. The group has just released its first record, a strong, straight-ahead affair titled “Generations,” on the Origin label.

16 City JULY 18-24, 2012

It was while playing gigs with Brown’s father

— guitarist and (now retired) Ithaca College professor Steve Brown — that Thompson first noticed Brown. “I met Miles when he was 16,” says Thompson. “I’d go to Ithaca and there’d be this 16-year-old kid wielding a bass. At first I thought maybe he’d rather be hanging out with his friends, but I soon realized he was a serious young bassist. I enjoyed playing with him.”

Brown was named for Miles Davis.

Despite the name and the fact that his father is a musician, there was no pressure to play.

“My parents let me come to music on my own,” says Brown. While he listened to Davis’ music, “I was more influenced by the bass players on his records.”

In fact, Brown still learns from an older generation of bass players: Scott LaFaro, Dave Holland, Paul Chambers, and Charlie Haden.

When Brown’s father first suggested he check out LaFaro’s playing, he bought a Bill Evans record that included the bassist.

“I listened over and over to ‘Portrait in Jazz,’” says Brown. “Hearing LaFaro being conversational in a trio situation made a huge impact on me. I didn’t want to be just a bass player playing walking lines behind others. Even today I try to take an interactive approach.”

Of course, it didn’t hurt to have a musician father. “The music was always in the house,” says Brown. “Musicians were always in the house, too, and I got to see what kind of ornery bastards they were and were not. I got to see what the lifestyle of a jazz musician was and I got to see the lifestyle of a college professor. It was all very attractive.”

Brown followed his father’s path. An active player, who has performed with Ralph Lalama, Ben Monder, Sam Rivers, and others, he is also coordinator of the jazz program at Oakland University, outside of Detroit. He wrote three of the album’s tunes.

Thompson, who has played with Tito

Puente, Phil Woods, Joe Pass, and others, began collaborating with Ziemba when the pianist was a teenager enrolled at Eastman.

“I met Chris when he was a freshman and immediately started playing with him,” says Thompson. “There is this generational thing.

I was always playing with people who were older than me, but the music was always ageless. Chris had it when he was 18; I could hear it in his playing. Age is just a number.”

Ziemba, who last year won the prestigious Jacksonville Jazz Piano Competition, had forged a reputation as a classical player and composer long before

coming to Eastman. In fact, he appeared on “The Late Show with David Letterman” at the age of 11.

Ziemba had done a lot of composing as a child and was winning awards. The media started paying attention and Letterman’s staff asked him to participate in a segment on child prodigies.

“In the first skit, I was in the green room playing one of my compositions for Dave.

That was cool,” says Ziemba. “In another skit they mock-fired Paul Shaffer and had me come out in one of his ridiculous pink suits.”

Ziemba’s precociousness continued when, in 2009, he was asked to appear on “Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz” on NPR. Eastman professor Harold Danko had sent McPartland a tape of Ziemba’s senior recital and she was impressed. Was he nervous?

“No,” says Ziemba. “She puts you right at ease. What an amazing lady.”

As for heroes, Ziemba also goes back a couple of generations to pianists like Wynton Kelly, Sonny Clark, Herbie Hancock, and Bill Evans. When it comes to contemporary pianists, he has great respect for Brad Mehldau, with whom he got to study.

“He’s been a huge influence,” says Ziemba, who is currently in the artist diploma program at the Juilliard School. “I’ve always liked pianists with a classical touch.

Having been trained classically, I have an ear for pianists that employ those sorts of methods. Brad’s approach to the piano and the way he oversteps the limitations of what many pianists are doing now — he’s always trying different textures — that’s kind of an inspiration for me.”

In addition to teaching and playing with Generations, Thompson still goes on the road with the Byron Stripling Quartet.

He says it’s a balancing act but, “Eastman is one of those rare places. They want you to perform and remain active. They realize you’re bringing that right back to the classroom,” Thompson says.

For Thompson, being on the road is a revitalizing experience. “When I go out with Byron’s band, we all act like we’re in college again. We’re up all hours. We have the best time.”

As for The Generations Trio, Ziemba sums it up best: “It’s been a treat for me. As a developing musician, one of the things you look forward to the most is finally being able to play with the people who taught and inspired you.”

The Generations Trio will hold a CD-release party Sunday, August 26, 3-5 p.m. at the Bop Shop, 1460 Monroe Ave.

Though only gone from the scene for a few years, Rochester garage-rock sensations The Priests existed briefly in a transitional period of musical and technological change. The difference? The Priests never played along. The band sported a black-clad anti-hero stance and an insatiable appetite to feast on the hand that fed it. Consequently the music was unfettered and unencumbered by rock ’n’ roll posturing and window dressing. With just three albums to its credit, The Priests ultimately saved rock ’n’ roll by killing itself — the band never lasted long enough to undo its cool. But in the end, what saved rock ’n’ roll couldn’t save The Priests. Out of the band’s volatility and violence came music of equal volatility and violence that hovered somewhere between The Cramps, The Sonics, and The Doors. Savage, raw, and absolutely brilliant.

And if that weren’t enough, The Bloody Hollies and St. Phillip’s Escalator share the bill.

CLASSICAL/JAZZ | Tony Caramia

When Eastman School of Music professor of piano Tony Caramia presents a concert called “Summer Smiles,” he’s not messing around. Aside from classical pieces like “Summer Evening” by Edvard Grieg and “Indian Summer” by Victor Herbert, he’ll be playing “Summertime” by George Gershwin, “Summer Song” by Dave Brubeck, “Summer Serenade” by Benny Carter, “Summer Samba” by Marcos Valle, and his own composition “Summer Smiles.” OK, so he’s left out Sly and the Family Stone’s “Hot Fun in the Summertime” and The Lovin’ Spoonful’s “Summer in the City,” but he’s still covering almost every aspect of the season.

These boots were made for talking “Love, Loss, and What I Wore” Through July 22 Blackfriars Theatre, 795 E. Main St. Wednesday-Thursday 7:30 p.m., Friday-Saturday 8 p.m., Sunday 2 p.m. | $15 | 454-1260, blackfriars.org [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK

The concept could not be simpler: women talking about clothes. Except they’re not really talking about clothes.

The items in question — that first training bra, a heinous birthday-gift outfit, the robe worn by a dearly departed mother — are merely touchstones, relatable details to draw the audience into the personal stories of everyday people.

And that’s what makes “Love, Loss, and What I Wore” so surprisingly powerful. Because the premise is so accessible, and the staging so laid back (five women in chairs, occasionally 20 City july 18-24, 2012

glancing at scripts on the music stands in front of them), these brief stories about life’s big and little moments feel honest, truthful, and most of all, intimate.

Women in particular will identify with the content of these vignettes, which run the gamut from the heartbreaking to the hilarious. But the simplicity and honesty of the material means that anyone, even if they’re cursed with a Y chromosome, will be transfixed. This is not a show about clothes. It’s a show about life.

“Love, Loss, and What I Wore” started its life as a book by Ilene Beckerman. In it, Beckerman included her drawings of clothing items that made an impact in her life, and her recollections about the defining moments in which she wore them (marriages, divorces, deaths, births, etc.). Noted screenwriter Nora Ephron (“Silkwood,” “When Harry Met Sally…”) wrote an introduction for the book, and later, Ephron and her producer-writer sister, Delia, decided to adapt it for the stage. The Ephrons incorporated several of

Beckerman’s stories (the character of Gingy, who serves as a sort of narrator in the play, is pretty obviously based on Beckerman), as well as some of the sisters’ own critically acclaimed short pieces. They also reached out to dozens of female friends, asking them to share similar stories.

Thus, the stage version of the book actually features the stories of dozens of women. So it’s fitting that the cast is similarly varied, with eight local actresses — Ruth Bellavia, Maureen Brainard, Marlo DiCrasto, McKenzie Keenan, Patti Lewis, Lee Ann Orasin, Sarah Peters, and Maria Scipione — rotating through five spots. The night I saw the show, Kennan played Gingy — the only character with a name in the show — and Lewis, Bellavia, DiCrasto, and Orasin filled out the cast. The swapping of roles from show to show makes the on-stage scripts understandable (and honestly, the cast I saw just glanced at them), and allows

for any number of combinations of actresses and stories. Even Director John Haldoupis admitted that he hasn’t seen every iteration of the cast yet.

The five actors in the performance I saw did an excellent job, seamlessly passing along the narrative (the only awkward moment was the fault of a clunky audio cue in the Madonna section) and connecting with the emotional content of the show’s numerous monologues.

Keenan was especially effective as Gingy, giving a wistful yet dignified portrayal flecked by a Long Island accent. DiCrasto was equally at home delivering a powerful story about a cancer survivor and a sweet vignette about an unconventional woman searching for the perfect wedding outfit. Orasin hilariously detailed the debate between painful-but-fashionable high heels and comfy-but-hideous Birkenstocks, although she was less successful in an odd segment about gang sweaters. Several people in the audience responded audibly to Bellavia’s story about two prom dresses, and the personal revelation that closes that story.

But that was nothing compared to the reaction to Lewis’s show-stopping diatribe about purses (a piece that was signature Ephron, from start to finish). As soon as the commanding Lewis stood, moved her music stand to the center of the stage, and said something along the lines of, “I’d like to say something about purses,” the dynamic of the audience shifted. I heard several women responding to line after line of the fashion sermon with hushed affirmations. It was like being in church, truly. As Lewis railed about the detritus of life accumulating in the bottom of a bag, one woman behind me whispered, “Yep, that’s me.” As Lewis complained about how it takes hours to find anything in her purse, the same woman replied, “Amen.” And when Lewis made the statement that, on some horrific level, those messy, cumbersome purses are a reflection of the lives of the women who wield them, I could almost feel the stunned silence from the seat behind me.

The threshold of revelation, from a story about a purse.

ART | Scott Grove Retrospective at Arts & Cultural Council

When I walked into the gallery at the Arts & Cultural Council last week to check out noted furniture maker Scott Grove’s exhibition, I expected the room to be filled with his characteristically gorgeous and innovative furniture.

However, “GrovEvolution,” a retrospective of Grove’s work spanning 36 years, was packed not only with his immaculate, contemporary tables, stools, and chests of drawers, but also examples of his sculpture, drawings, photography, videos, and other mixed-media works.

The surprise left me with more information about this lighthearted, wonder-filled artist. From his masterful skill with a variety of materials, to his eye for repurposing (or just reappreciating) architectural remnants, to his playful sensibilities (the man even became a clown in the 80’s, but turned down the opportunity to attend Barnum & Bailey’s Clown College due to lack of artistic freedom), there’s lots to marvel over. And there’s a pretty sweet love story tucked into his artist statement, with a creative relic of the relationship on view in the show.

View this great show through July 26. The gallery is located at 277 N. Goodman St.; viewing hours are Monday-Friday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. For more information, call 473-4000, or visit artsrochester.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Show” by Carla Bartow. Mon-Fri 11 a.m.-3 p.m. 232-7340.

THEATER | “Spring Awakening”

We can all relate to the heart-wrenching twists and turns a person goes through while transitioning from youth to adulthood.

This summer JCC SummerStage examines that journey with “Spring Awakening,” the Tony Award-winning musical. The show combines a rock-music score by Duncan Sheik with a 19th-century narrative as it explores the path to adulthood through different themes including censorship, sex, education, rape, homosexuality, and suicide. The cast is made up of highschool and college students from the Rochester area, making the cast roughly the same age of the characters in the show.

“Spring Awakening” runs through Sunday, July 22. Show times this week are Wednesday and Thursday, July 18-19, 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, July 21, 8 p.m.; and Sunday at 2 p.m.

The JCC is located at 1200 Edgewood Ave. Tickets cost $18-$26. For more information visit jcccenterstage.org or call 461-2000. — BY ANNE RITZ Community Labyrinth Walk with free energy work, chair massage and music.

fulfills the youthful fantasy of revenging oneself on tormentors and winning the affection of the prettiest girl in the senior class.

This time around, the nerdy Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) endures a really violent beating from a bully in his high school, which emphasizes his vulnerability and his isolation from his peers.

The son of a scientist, raised by his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field), Peter finds his late father’s notes on the genetic experiments he conducted in collaboration with Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans). The discovery leads him to Connors, who continues the work for a private company, attempting to mingle human DNA with that of other creatures to cure disease, prolong life, and, in part because he lacks a right arm, repair damaged tissue.

Wandering around Connors’s laboratory, Peter suffers a bite from a genetically altered spider, which of course once again transforms him. In this version, he manufactures his own webbing and invents a mechanical method of deploying it. Pretty much repeating the earlier works, he then embarks on the familiar course of adventure and revenge, humiliating the bully who beat him up, chasing after bad guys, and searching for the man who killed his uncle.

With the help of Peter’s notes, Dr. Connors, desperate to complete his work and hoping to regenerate his lost limb, precipitately injects himself with his own mixture of reptile and human DNA. The injection succeeds only

too well, re-growing his arm, but also turning Connors into a giant lizard and in the process apparently upsetting his already precarious psychic balance — as usual, it doesn’t require a great deal to derange a movie scientist’s mind.

As he uses more and more of his compound, he grows larger and larger and crazier and crazier, finally attempting to release it as a gas all over Manhattan, with the apparent goal of lizardizing the rest of the world, something Spidey must stop.

The picture features all the characteristics we’ve learned to expect from its genre — car chases and crashes, explosions, the destruction of portions of New York City, hand-to-hand fights in midair over Manhattan, and so forth. It displays all the technical magic of the modern blockbuster to a high degree, especially in showing the sheer exuberance of Peter Parker’s discovery of his spider powers, swooping and swinging through the canyons of the city, with numerous thrillingly vertiginous setups and angles.

Andrew Garfield plays Peter Parker rather like Tony Perkins in “Psycho,” displaying a whole arsenal of tics, twitches, quivers, and stammers, now and then mumbling incomprehensibly, a most annoying performance. As for Rhys Ifans, he rises above the occasion, growling and laughing maniacally as he sets about his reptilian mission and chews up Manhattan. Fans will be delighted to know that the open ending guarantees another sequel, another villain, and of course, more arachnoid antics.

Love is grand. But commitment? That’s kind of terrifying. And it’s not something movies typically dwell on, preferring instead to document the thrill of the chase rather than the complexities of the capture.

A smart storyteller, however, understands that few things lend themselves to dramatic conflict better than the shoehorning of two free wills into one shared journey, especially when that unexpected third soul inevitably shows up and throws a wrench in the works. That’s the premise of “Take This Waltz,” a bittersweet, wisely observed film from Canadian filmmaker Sarah Polley (2006’s Oscar-nominated “Away From Her”), which watches as a young woman in a comfortable marriage finds herself drawn to an inconvenient man.

Michelle Williams (“My Week With Marilyn”) totally de-glams as Margot, who we first meet through a gorgeously golden opening scene in which the simple

process of making blueberry muffins affords us a little window into the careful, seemingly impatient woman with blue toenails. The man who enters the shot is kept deliberately hazy, and the film flashes back to Margot’s meet-cute with Daniel (Luke Kirby), who yells, “Put your back into it” when the mortified Margot is tapped to flog an 18th-century scofflaw at the historical park. They encounter each other again on the plane; the able-bodied Margot arrived at the boarding gate in a wheelchair, and she confides to Daniel her fear of missed connections: “I don’t like being in between things.”

With that heavy-handed and symbolic foreshadowing business out of the way, we’re better able to appreciate the chemistry between the two, who discover upon parting that they’re neighbors. And when Margot returns home to her distracted cookbookauthor husband, Lou (an excellent Seth Rogen), both the good and bad traits of their relationship come into sharp focus. Roughly 99 percent of the audience will nod/squirm in empathy with the ongoing jokes to the sweetly weird baby talk to the unmistakable sibling vibe that has settled over their five-year marriage. It’s no wonder she makes a concerted effort to seek out the darkly intense Daniel, who clearly wants to be found. The combination of Daniel’s pull, Lou’s push, and Margot’s own evolving boundaries culminate in the most scorching no-flesh/all-talk seduction in forever.

So does Margot run off with Daniel or is he merely a way for her to appreciate what she already has with Lou? This conundrum, the stuff of a billion cinematic love triangles, is where Polley’s truthful script is at its most perceptive. None of the parties get let off the hook for their actions (or inactions), each taking turns in the roles of both perpetrator and victim. “New things get old,” the naked stranger reminds Margot and her friends

in that remarkable, unflinching scene in the showers, one that maybe only could have been filmed with a woman behind the camera. If there’s a quibble here, it’s that Polley’s throwaway details are perhaps a bit too contrived; these three people lead the most precious hipster existences.

It’s also not totally obvious why Daniel would set his cap toward Margot, but attraction isn’t always explainable. As played by the peerless Williams, Margot seems very real, a passionate, frustrated, and selfish human being with no safe place to direct all that churning emotion. Williams is well matched by her male counterparts, as Rogen delivers a career-best performance (admittedly, that bar is low-ish) and Kirby breathes honest life into a character that may be more archetype than actuality. Sarah Silverman steals her scenes as Lou’s wry sister Geraldine, a recovering alcoholic who understands Margot’s plight but opted for a different form of escapism. “Take This Waltz” is also dazzling in its vivid, colordrenched cinematography, with Toronto playing its underappreciated self in a wistful summer glow.

| FILM Festival with the absorbing “The Island President,” which chronicles recently ousted Maldives leader Mohamed Nasheed’s battle to save his slowly eroding country, consisting of more than 2,000 islands in the Indian Ocean. We’re brought up to speed on the former political prisoner’s path to the presidency, then tossed into the fight leading up to the 2009 Copenhagen Climate Conference. The charismatic Nasheed’s idealistic activism crashes into the reality of politics as he takes on Goliaths like India and China, who see the call for a reduction in carbon emissions as an affront to their growing countries and not the planet-saving maneuver it really is. Director Jon Shenk will take questions from the audience via Skype following the screening.

“You’re gonna need a bigger boat.” Spielberg’s monster hit, adapted from the Peter Benchley bestseller, didn’t merely set box office records. It reshaped the fundamentals of the movie world, setting the template for how future summer blockbusters would be made, marketed, and released. Though it spawned several sequels and countless rip-offs, Spielberg’s original remains as deliciously unsettling today as it was in the summer of 1975. (Steven Spielberg, US 1975, 130 min.)

It’s a comedy! It’s a musical! It’s Russian! The unlikely match of these words finds a buoyant realization in this rip-roaring mix of Grease and Moulin Rouge, with a gentle touch of political undertones. A sure-shot crowd pleaser, artfully blending virtuoso camerawork, rock ’n’ roll, and a dispassionate view of Soviet society before the glasnost.

Charming Spanish Eclectic in Cobbs Hill 130 San Gabriel Drive Built in 1930, the house at 130 San Gabriel Drive is a classic example of the Spanish Eclectic style, not common in this region.

Its stucco walls, red tiled flat roof, arched doors and windows, and wrought iron details are all typical of this style. The heavy wood paneled door, with its decorative iron hinges and window grille, opens to the first of many delightful surprises: the tiled vestibule contains a unique built-in wooden seat with umbrella stand. Above it is a built-in mirror topped by an arched leaded glass window.

atop the attached two-car garage. What a place to spend quiet summer evenings overlooking the backyard! The upstairs hall has two linen closets, a laundry chute, and an original arched telephone niche. There are four bedrooms, each with a closet; the master bedroom has two. Clad in original pale green tiles, the bathroom has an arched leaded-glass window, and a tub nestled under another arch. There is no attic due to the flat roof, but the unfinished basement is generous, with high ceilings and a built-in wine closet.

On the right side of the main hall, French doors lead to a small sunroom/study surrounded by windows, a sunny sanctuary during dark winters. To the left, a gracious archway opens to the living room, which has an arched stone and brick fireplace with glowing reddish hearth tiles. On one wall, two arched niches with shelves have original wrought-iron doors.

This home is located in the quaint winding streets of the Cobbs Hill neighborhood. In nearby Washington Grove, forested pathways lead to Cobbs Hill Reservoir, a destination for runners, walkers and viewers of the city skyline. Less than a mile from I-490, this home is just minutes from downtown Rochester, the Neighborhood of the Arts, bustling Monroe

The living room and dining room each have beautiful coved tray ceilings. Textured walls and narrow plank oak floors run throughout the house. The modestly sized kitchen has satiny black ceramic tiles and appliances, and golden wood cabinets. There is space for an eating nook with a nursery window at one end. The side hall leads to a powder room, the attached double garage, the basement, and a side door.

Avenue, the cafes of Park Avenue, and shopping at Twelve Corners in Brighton.

The home’s main stairs lead to a landing where a door opens to a flagstone terrace

Fun [ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD Japanese Scientists, Overperforming: (1) Researchers at the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Information Science and Technology have developed goggles that can enlarge the image of a bite of food so that the eater might fool himself into thinking he has consumed more than he has (and thus, that his hunger might dissipate sooner). The software is so sophisticated, they said, that the food carrier (a fork, or the eater’s hand) is not transformed and appears at normal size. In basic tests, according to a June Agence France-Presse report, a 50 percent increase in imagined cookie size reduced actual consumption by 9 percent.

(2) Prolific inventor Nobuhiro Takahashi announced in May that he had created a silicone-and-foam “buttocks robot” that can clench, twitch or protrude when probed (primarily for training proctology students to deal with patient anxiety).

Compelling Explanations — In May, two members of the Sen-

ate Intelligence Oversight Committee requested the total number of U.S. citizens who have been legally spied upon (by phone calls, e-mail, etc.) since 2008 by the National Security Agency, but the NSA’s inspector general said he was prohibited from answering. To go back through agency records, he said, would violate the privacy rights of those spiedupon U.S. citizens, which the agency cannot do without judicial warrant.

— Well-Put: Pushing for an Oklahoma state senate bill authorizing the open carrying of guns (which eventually passed), Sen. Ralph Shortey explained in a March committee hearing that it was an incident from his past that convinced him of the need to carry a gun openly. “I was in oil and gas. I was out on a lease at one time, and I got

attacked by a turkey. Wait until you get attacked by a turkey. You will know the fear that a turkey can invoke in a person.

And so I beat it with a club. That was all I could do. And (then) I started carrying a gun in my truck after that without a license because I didn’t want to get attacked by a mountain lion.”

Ironies

— Car Karma: Jerry Patterson suffered a road-rage pummeling on June 12 at the hands of three men who beat him into unresponsiveness on the side of Interstate 5 in Los Angeles, with the incident captured on cellphone video by a passing motorist. Six days earlier, Patterson had himself been arrested for allegedly administering his own roadrage beatdown of another motorist, who suffered two black eyes.

— Generally, airbags save lives, but apparently not Ronald Smith’s. According to a coroner’s inquest in Darlington, England, in May, Smith’s airbag deployed, but in the process was cut open on jagged glass, which forced a rush of the bag’s gas and talcum powder (used as a lubricant by many manufacturers) into his lungs. Smith soon afterward developed fatal bronchial pneumonia from inhaling the substances.

Readers’ Choice

When Cats Fly: In June, Dutch artist Bart Jansen showed off his latest creation, which was quickly an Internet sensation: He had his pet cat Orville (who had recently been run over by a car) stuffed with arms spread like an airplane (a “helicopter,” Jansen said) and mounted a radio on the carcass so that he could control its flight. Jansen showed off Orville at the Kunstrai art festival in Amsterdam in June.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 35 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Attraction, passion and enjoying a one-on-one relationship with someone special is in the stars.

Get out and enjoy networking and talking to people who share your interests, and you will light a spark with someone who finds you impossible to resist.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Body language will attract someone dancing to the same beat as you. Show your interest by taking action and making the first move — not by trying to impress someone with elaborate plans for the future.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be tempted to take a step back. Getting together with someone from your past is likely to bring the same results you got the first time around. Protect your heart and move upward and onward to people who share your current interests.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If someone is too secretive, you should probably think twice about getting into a hot-and-heavy relationship. Knowing someone inside and out allows you to feel comfortable. Fitting together like two pieces of a puzzle should be what you are looking for.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22): The more involved you get in something you feel strongly about, the more passionate you will be about someone working toward the same goal as you. Doing something special for someone you care about will bring high returns.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22): You may feel an attraction to someone with whom you do business, but before you venture down that path, consider the consequences.

You are likely to disrupt your plans or reputation. Don’t mix business with pleasure.

LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 22): Get out and about or take a vacation

that is conducive to love and romance. Taking part in activities that allow you to show off your skills and that flatter you mentally, physically and emotionally will lead to an encounter with someone you think is special.

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21): Broaden your horizons, attend a lecture or visit people you find interesting, and you will come across someone with whom you click instantly. Let down your guard, and prepare to share your dreams, hopes and wishes for the future. Good fortune is in the stars.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You will attract plenty of inter-

est and drum up a passionate response with your outgoing, adventuresome attitude and your ability to adapt to whatever comes your way. A change at home will lead to a new way of life. Follow your heart, and make a commitment.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Ask questions and find out what’s behind the decisions that someone you are interested in is making.

You don’t want to be misled by someone more interested in what you have than who you are. Stick to partners who have as much to offer you in return.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Play-

ful action will attract someone just as innovative and experimental as you. Consider making a move that will allow you to spend more time with someone who makes you happy. A change of location or the way you live life will add to your happiness.

PISCES (Feb 19-March 20): Question what someone is offering you. Deception and disillusionment due to an assumption you make will lead to disappointment. Don’t be too quick to give your heart to someone who is withholding information. Find out a potential partner’s status before becoming intimate.
