Back to bases: vintage base ball “Striker to the line!” A well-dressed man in a suit, tie, and flat-brimmed black hat strides toward a small pile of dirt. Standing to one side of a whitish line of flour is a man wielding a hefty wooden bat. His worn, swollen fingers wrap slowly, but firmly, around the timber. The pitcher winds up, his arm spins around like a windmill, and he lets loose a small yellowtinted ball. The batter takes a swing.

There’s no crack. The batter hasn’t missed — the ball is simply too worn to make that distinct sound of connection. The batter sprints toward a small bag stuffed with hay at breakneck speed. His arms, covered in a full-length white button-up shirt, flap at his side.

His foot lunges for the base, just as the ball comes flying toward the first baseman.

“Striker’s dead!” the man in the suit shouts, and the batter turns and jogs glumly back toward his teammates. But the Live Oak team would go on to beat the Victory Base Ball Club in their afternoon vintage base-ball game.

That’s not a misspelling. Genesee Country Village & Museum in Mumford puts an old-timey spin on America’s alleged favorite pastime: baseball. Every summer more than 100 volunteer players help bring the game back to its roots, complete with period uniforms, equipment, lingo, and rules.

St. Paul mural: lewd or cuddly?

The mural project has brought some highly regarded muralists to Rochester to put up murals on walls around the city.

Some of the murals reflect social commentary and some subjects that may be hard to stomach. Seen driving by or walking by, these subjects raise questions and may cause one to question what the artist had in mind.

One such mural is on the south wall of a building on St. Paul Street overlooking the Worldwide News parking lot and Pleasant Street. In that location, it will not be seen by a lot of people, since St. Paul is one way south at that point and a southbound driver would need to look over his/her shoulder to see it. It will be seen by customers of Worldwide News as they transit the parking lot.

It will also be seen morning, noon, and night by a small group of people making their homes in downtown Rochester in The Warner Lofts at 80 St. Paul Street on the north side of the building.

To put it in simple terms, the mural is lewd.

It depicts two bear-like creatures with rat-like faces in what might be described as a sexual position that is lurid.

We are just moving into an apartment on the north side of Warner Lofts and chose that side because RGRTA insists that the best place in the world for their new bus terminal abuts the south side of the Warner building. Thanks, all, for City

making Rochester a welcoming place for residents.

The owner of the building with the painted wall is satisfied with the artwork.

He has his right to express himself or permit others to express themselves on his property. He will not ever see the wall unless he walks out of his apartment to take a look or looks over his shoulder as he drives away from his home. We will see it at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and so will any guests we have in our apartment.

Those guests will include our grandchildren, ages 9 to 13. We really don’t need well-done lewd art just outside our window.

For context, we are art collectors, and my wife is a fine-art photographer.

We are generally not put off by strong art that makes a statement. We have chosen many pieces that others might not display in a house where children are being raised.

That is art of our choice.

That is not imposed on us by a neighbor.

PAUL S. GOLDBERG, ROCHESTER

Wall/Therapy founder and curator Ian J. Wilson – a radiologist at the University of Rochester Medical Center - responds: While none of us is the final arbiter of aesthetics, the labeling of the mural on St. Paul as lewd leaves no room for meaningful dialogue. It seems rather disturbing that sleeping bears would be sexualized in the manner being described by some. If one considers the spatial arrangement of the creatures on the wall, it becomes readily apparent that the head of one bear rests on the knees of the other.

Had the artist painted the westward facing bear’s head closer to the pelvis of the other, then the assessment of the mural as “lurid” becomes more valid. The artist described the mural as “two bears sleeping,” nothing more. In fact, a cursory survey of ROA’s body of work would reveal murals that are far more

graphic than the St. Paul piece. These bears are quite tame by comparison.

Arguably one of the most important living contemporary artists working in the public space, ROA fell in love with this city.

His work can be seen from London to Australia and now Rochester. Whether pro or con, the net effect of this mural art project is a heightened consciousness about public art. People are being empowered to express their views. However small, this project, and its resultant debate, can be viewed as steps that move us toward actualizing our full potential as a world-class city.

The art depicted on walls throughout this city do not reflect the ideology, politics, or philosophical inclinations of any of the property owners who have graciously supported this project by granting permission for their property to be painted. In addition, this mural was privately funded by myself and others who are bullish on Rochester and believe in its future.

As the father of a 2-yearold girl, I look forward to sharing the world with her, starting here. As a “kid from Brooklyn” who serves this community on a daily basis in my professional life, I can honestly say, “Trust me. I’m a doctor.”

Malgieri and the school district

On Schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas’s appointment of former Deputy Mayor Patty Malgieri as chief of staff: What’s most amazing about this debacle is that the board does not seem to be concerned about the critically important question of whether Ms. Malgieri, who is not an educator, has no formal training in the field, and has been hired at a dizzying salary of $155,000 dollars (plus benefits) — $21,186 dollars more than the mayor of Rochester makes — is even qualified for this super-high-priced position. A-damn-mazing!

I love how people are trying to judge the administrative qualifications of someone who basically ran our city for six years.

Before that, she ran one of the most important publicpolicy think tanks in the state and most recently ran the Hillside program, which takes the most atrisk children in our city and gets them to college.

And they think she doesn’t support education?

Mrs. Malgieri can hardly be chastised for her past critiques of the district. We have a staggeringly low graduation rate, horrible teachers cannot be fired, and there are so many layers of administration in central office that nobody knows who does what. I can’t think of any better person to clean up the mess than her.

County should say no to fracking waste

Why invite another environmental disaster when New York already has a rich history of it? (“Dems Push on Fracking Waste,” News) Remember Love Canal? Look at Onondaga Lake, which is entering into a final $1-billiion clean-up phase. What we don’t pollute today, we won’t have to spend billions to clean up in 20 years, when it becomes evident that accepting fracking waste was a big mistake.

Fracking’s residual waste is no different than nuclear waste in that no one knows what can safely be done with it. Until there is something safe and definitive, why would the county dive head first into this retention pond of toxic sludge?

Anything to support fracking – whether giving up our precious water, selling our land for drilling, or accepting frack waste – is just wrong. Hydrofracked gas is not the clean bridge fuel to the future. It is a

fracking mess of a bridge back to the past of burning fossil fuel that caused global warming.

The county should make this deal with the fracking industry: They keep their toxic waste out of Monroe County and we’ll keep our precious water resources right here.

Red-state dreams

The Republican right seems bent on taking us back in time, but exactly where do these intrepid time-travelers intend for us to land? In what era, what century?

They oppose the separation of church and state.

They want to accelerate the concentration of America’s wealth in the hands of the few. Through the elimination of the estate tax, they must aim to establish in America a permanent aristocracy of inherited wealth and privilege. They oppose the separation of powers, behaving as if the Supreme Court were an arm of the Republican administration the Court helped to install in 2000. And they want the electoral process in this country to become a sham, determined not by openly debated ideas but by mountains of cash.

They want to return us to a time before John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and George Washington. They aim to turn back the clock to a time before our Revolution in order to honor our original “founding father,” King George III. I think I know why we use the term ”red states”: Could these be areas of clandestine support for the redcoats?

urban journal | by mary anna towler

Boy Scouts, gays, and the company we keep We are such a deeply divided nation. And while we occasionally make great strides – electing a black president, permitting openly gay Americans to serve in the military, passing laws permitting same-sex marriage – the divisions persist. And at times, they seem to be getting deeper.

NPR’s Morning Edition on Tuesday included an interview with a Florida man who lost his job and is struggling to get by on unemployment checks. He is clearly bitter. He follows politics. He listens to Rush Limbaugh. And he blames President Obama for his misfortune. Obama, he told Morning Edition’s Steve Inskeep, believes white people are evil, “and so does his wife.”

Feeding this kind of mistrust, this gutdeep dislike, are people like Limbaugh and, yes, politicians of both major political parties.

But also, troublingly, the Boy Scouts of America, which earlier this summer, after two years of study, reaffirmed its position barring gay people from membership or adult service. No Boy Scouts. No troop leaders. No den mothers.

When I ranted about the Scouts’ decision in a blog recently, several readers ranted back. “You miss the point that it is a PRIVATE organization,” wrote one, “and as such has the right to set its rules.”

Private organizations do indeed have the right to decide who can be a member.

That doesn’t make it right when it’s blatant, harmful discrimination, and the Scouts’ action is exactly that. Prejudice against gays and lesbians has had terrible consequences: discriminatory employment practices, bullying, injury, and, tragically, both murder and suicide.

For the Scouts to continue to ban gays and lesbians from membership and service is to ostracize an entire group of boys, men, and women – ostracizing them because the Scout leadership believes there’s something wrong with them. And with that ostracizing, Boy Scouts USA tells gay children that they are inferior, not worthy of belonging. This is not harmless.

The Scouts organization – which has a strong presence in many communities (and benefits from both tax-exempt status and donations) – should be a leader, a model. Instead, it has chosen to be openly prejudiced, encouraging some children and adults to look down on others.

The Scouts’ decision has prompted some Scouts to turn in their merit badges. My e-mail last week brought a letter from a

Prejudice is prejudice, regardless of how respectable its face. And it is an ugly, dangerous thing.” reader who has found his own means of protest: Gates resident Jim Maher, a retired Air Force master sergeant, resigned from the American Legion. He has been a member for more than 20 years and has been historian of Post 367 in Scottsville, but the Legion is a major supporter of the Scouts, sponsoring some 2500 dens, troops, and other US Scout units.

Continuing to participate in the Legion, Maher wrote, would make him a hypocrite.

“I can no longer stand proudly and recite the Pledge of Allegiance,” he wrote, “knowing that the Legion and the main youth organization that it supports (the Boy Scouts of America) deny justice to all.”

Maher cites the Scout oath, which includes a promise “to help other people at all times.” And he notes that with its anti-gay policy, the Scouts have put their organization in the company of a host of bigoted organizations – including one of the worst of them all, the Westboro Baptist Church of Kansas, whose members picket the funerals of service members holding “God hates fags” signs.

That’s a harsh condemnation, but Maher’s right.

I’m sure the Scouts’ leadership would insist that it abhors the Westboro members’ actions, that it is simply responding to concerns of many Scouts and Scouting families. Unfortunately, the result is the same. Prejudice is prejudice, regardless of how respectable its face. It is an ugly, dangerous thing. And when we embrace it, we foster it.

The Boy Scouts are devoted to serving and nurturing children. For them to embrace prejudice against children, to foster doing harm to children, is a sad thing indeed.

Cruz, Lightfoot petitions survive challenge

The Monroe County Board of Elections ruled that the candidate petitions submitted by Jose Cruz and John Lightfoot are valid. The petitions were challenged by Ruth Brooks-Ward, a known associate of State Assembly member David Gantt. Cruz and Lightfoot are challenging the incumbent Gantt, setting up a three-way Democratic primary for the Assembly seat. BrooksWard is also challenging the Cruz and Lightfoot petitions in court.

Gantt moves to increase influence

Former crime lab director says she’ll sue

Janet AndersonSeaquist, Monroe County’s former crime lab director, filed paperwork indicating that she intended to sue the county over her firing.

Anderson-Seaquist says she was abruptly fired for political reasons and not job performance. County officials suspended and then fired her after the state Inspector General’s Office released a report criticizing some crime lab actions.

David Gantt: maneuvering for 2013? Some Democrats say yes.

FILE PHOTO

The leader of at least one city Democratic committee appears to be the target of some intra-party maneuvering by State Assembly member David Gantt.

The situation centers around an arcane bit of party activity: selecting who will sit on city legislative district committees. Typically, the legislative district leader nominates people to serve on the committees. In this case, however, Gantt and his allies filed petitions for additional candidates in the 21st and 29th Legislative Districts, forcing primaries.

Some Democrats are particularly concerned about the Gantt camp’s push in the 21st LD. The district’s leader, Anthony Plonczynski, is one of the committee members facing a primary, and if he loses his seat, he loses the leader position with it.

Plonczynski is also campaign manager for Jose Cruz, one of two candidates – County Legislator John Lightfoot is the other — challenging Gantt in a Democratic primary.

Some Democratic party leaders say that in the bigger picture, Gantt is trying to increase his influence and weaken opponents headed into the 2013 elections.

The 2013 contests include City Council, school board, and the mayoral race. If Gantt’s committee candidates prevail, he’ll have a greater number of reliable votes in the 21st and 29th LD’s. He’d have more influence over whom the committees endorse in elections.

Some Democratic leaders say Gantt has been gradually winning seats on other LD committees.

They say that this recent effort is an escalation of those activities.

Gun ad on bus offends some There’s a public bus driving around Rochester with an ad for Jackson Guns and Ammo — a gun shop with locations in Henrietta and Scottville — on its side. Does the ad belong there? Elena O’Connor, a resident of the 19th Ward, says it doesn’t.

“In a place that sees violence, I think it’s just not appropriate,” she says.

O’Connor says it’s not about the gun shop; she objects to the bus passing through troubled city neighborhoods advertising where people can buy guns. She’s contacted City Council members to see if they can help get the ad removed.

But it’s not that simple. The Rochester Genesee Regional Transportation Authority receives federal transit funds and must abide by federal, state, and local laws, says Corwin Marsh, a spokesperson for the agency.

Public bus operators nationwide have dealt with complaints and disagreements about bus ads. And since previous conflicts have been decided in the courts, there are legal precedents to follow. In several cases, bus operators have been required to accept ads they originally rejected.

The RGRTA leases ad space on its buses to Normal Communications, a Rochester-based advertising firm.

The gun shop is a legitimate business and the ad is not graphic or indecent, says Arnie Rothschild, Normal’s president and chief operating officer. And the ad doesn’t advocate violence or illegal gun sales, he says.

Rothschild says Elena O’Connor.

PHOTO provided there’s no basis to reject the ad. Historically, when he’s received complaints about ads on buses or at the county airport, he says he’ll explain to the complainant what his agency can and can’t control. But in many cases, he says, it’s a matter of tastes.

Some people are offended by breastfeeding ads, and those displays are often stolen or mutilated, Rothschild says. The largest user of RGRTA’s bus ad space is the state Department of Health, and people are sometimes offended by those ads, Rothschild says, including public service announcements about safer sex.

“We’re dealing with people’s political beliefs and we’re not the arbiter of that,” Rothschild says.

Overhaul begins City officials are considering changing the approval process for tearing down historic buildings. Some preservationists worry that the administration plans to weaken the protection of those buildings. But Marcia Barry, the city’s director of planning and zoning, says the protections will remain and that the changes would simply make the process clearer for everyone involved. | Currently, the Zoning Board must consider the Preservation Board’s recommendation before it gives permission to tear down a Building of Historic Value in Rochester.

The changes remove the reference to the Preservation Board, but Barry says the board would still be part of the process. Its role will be laid out in forthcoming legislation on the process for designating landmarks in the city, she says. | The legislation also removes a sentence requiring the Zoning Board to consider a handful of conditions before allowing demolition. Barry says the conditions would still apply, but that they would be inherent in the overall question for board members: whether the benefit to the applicant outweighs the impact on the health, safety, and welfare of neighbors and the community. | The changes were approved by the city’s Planning Commission on Monday and now go to City Council for a vote.

NEIGHBORHOODS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

The almighty Dollar Circular pockmarks where the white paint has peeled to reveal the red brick underneath make the former Westminster Presbyterian Church on West Main Street seem spotty with open sores.

Once undoubtedly a place of celebration and community, the historic church is now seen by some as a blemish on a resurging neighborhood. To others, it’s a historic asset and a prime candidate for a creative new use, such as an indoor mall or west-side performance center.

“We have people who are booking music events at the Memorial Art Gallery who live and work on the west side,” says Dawn Noto, president of the Susan B. Anthony Neighborhood Association. “We’re looking for some kind of community space. We really don’t have a space that’s available for multiple events.”

Marvin Maye, owner of 660 West Main, has proposed tearing down the vacant, 19th century church and an adjoining house to build a Dollar General and two additional commercial spaces on the site. The church is in the Neighbors United neighborhood in southwest Rochester, bordering the Susan B. Anthony Neighborhood and Bulls Head.

Noto says a Dollar General would tarnish the economic resurgence taking place in the area.

“There have been tons of investment and preservation efforts,” she says. “It’s all restoring, preserving — infill that’s sensitive to what’s going on and looks sensitive to what’s going on.”

Noto’s working with neighbors and adjoining neighborhood associations to save the church, including circulating petitions and writing letters to the mayor and City Council.

The fight has gotten a boost from City Hall. Demolishing the church and replacing it with “an undistinguished box building and an expansive parking lot,” would have a significant impact on the character of the neighborhood, says a July 26 letter to Maye from Marcia Barry, the city’s director of planning and zoning.

Maye must complete a thorough environmental review of the potential impacts of his project before the city gives further consideration to the application. The church is a Building of Historic Value in the city: an official designation that increases the requirements Maye must meet before he can move forward.

There are also some beautiful, almost-palatial homes along the gateway.

“If they were on East Avenue, these homes are half-a-million dollars,” Noto says. “There’s some gorgeous [homes] right in this pocket here on West Main. If we see commercial development like Dollar General, we’ll lose that residential that’s there.”

Spoon fed The Soup Spoon 10 E. Main St., Victor 869-5080, thesoupspoonroom.com Monday 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m., Tuesday-Thursday 8:30 a.m.-8 p.m., Friday8:30 a.m.-9 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m.-9 p.m. [ REVIEW ] BY JAMES LEACH

Eight hours. That’s how long it took Chhaya En, the owner and chef The Soup Spoon in Victor, to make the broth that fills the bowl in front of me. Eight hours of intense labor, starting with not much more than beef bones, vegetables, and water, and ending with a soup that is richly fragrant and consomme clear. Eight hours of roasting and sweating, simmering and skimming, to produce a superlative stock in which to float rice noodles, slices of brisket, shrimp so fresh that a talented doctor might be able to revive them, and homemade meatballs so smoothly textured that they really should be called something more elegant, like quenelles.

I finished my first bowl of En’s take on pho and hungrily eyed what’s left of my

7-year-old dining companion’s bowl (not much, alas) and briefly considered ordering another portion. Then I remembered that I still want a cupcake. Life is full of tough choices, but as I tore into a cupcake topped with white chocolate icing and ruby-red raspberry jelly I was pretty sure I made the right one.

Victor may not seem like the obvious

location for a Cambodian restaurant, but talk to En for a few moments and the logic starts to make sense. Unlike Rochester, where it has become much easier to find a decent bowl of pho over the past several years, folks in Victor — and in Ontario County in general — have far fewer options.

When a coffee shop tucked away on the ground floor of an office building on Victor’s Main Street closed, En and his wife, Bri, saw an opportunity to bring something new to town. And in the brief time that The Soup Spoon has been open, it seems to have caught on. Some of En’s regulars include the town fire chief, and the lawyers who work upstairs from the restaurant. On one of the Saturdays that I stopped by, the clientele at the Soup Spoon was a mixture of families

(kids are welcome at The Soup Spoon, and En’s own 4-month-old sous chef is a frequent visitor to the restaurant), hipsters, and an older couple who were clearly trying the place for the first time.

The Soup Spoon is not a place that you will casually stumble upon, but that’s part of its charm. The ground-floor location, the rough stone-work walls, the black leather chairs and relatively low ceilings give the place a clubhouse air that is instantly welcoming. It’s the sort of place where you are inclined to kick back and linger far into the afternoon. That’s precisely what we did on that Saturday afternoon, ordering a glass of iced Earl Grey and lavender tea as well as a pastel purple-hued Thai lime drink and settling in to the chairs to watch Olympic fencing on the big-screen TV above the fireplace. It was very much like being a guest in a good friend’s house rather than at a restaurant. The experience got even cozier when, rather than delivering an order of fresh spring rolls with shrimp to our table, our waiter brought them over and quietly put them on an end table in easy reach, the food seeming to materialize there magically while we weren’t looking.

little coffee shop. The kitchen is miniscule, not much more than a steam table and a couple of burners along the front counter with a tiny prep area and dishwashing area behind a wall in what was probably once a closet space. For most restaurants this would be a problem, but the style of Cambodian food that En offers — along with, oddly, French onion soup and chili — lends itself to minimalist kitchens. It is, after all, street food in southeast Asia, where pho, banh mi (called num pang in Cambodia), and skewers of grilled meat are all made in street stalls and sold to folks looking to pick up a quick bite while on their way.

En’s menu may be tiny, but that allows him to lavish attention on each dish, perfecting both presentation and flavor.

Start with a plate of spring rolls ($3.50), the vegetables precisely and uniformly cut, the shrimp uber-fresh, the noodles snow white and perfectly cooked. Other rolls I’ve had fall apart at the last couple of bites, but these are so tightly made that they hold together to the end, acting as a nice scoop for the tangy sauce of coarsely ground peanuts or the sweet chili sauce with which each order is served. As I sat noshing on my roll, I noticed a family of three across the dining room getting an order of what looked like 10 of these delightful rolls delivered to their table. I was deeply envious. Of course, I had something else on the way, too: a plate of grilled beef skewers ($4.50) so shiny they looked lacquered. These were made with Seven Bridges Farms meat and marinated in lemongrass and sweet soy, a pleasant combination of sweet, salty, and intensely beefy in each bite.

But the star of the show here is En’s pho ($8.50). It is far more refined in flavor and presentation than anything else called pho that you will find locally, the broth redolent of sesame, coriander, and star anise, as well as the rich aroma of slow-roasted beef bones. It almost doesn’t need the generous assortment of condiments that come with it — fried garlic, sugar, mixed salt and pepper, bean sprouts, Thai basil, lemon wedges, and chopped scallions — but it’s fun to play with the flavors as you eat. Add those various tastes and textures to the dish, leading up to the moment when the noodles are gone, the meatballs have long since been consumed, and only one last wide, flat Chinese-style soup spoon of the broth remains. If you can resist picking up the bowl and drinking it, you have far more restraint than I do.

City

Back to bases A well-dressed man in a suit, tie, and flatbrimmed black hat strides toward a small pile of dirt. Standing to one side of a whitish line of flour is a man wielding a hefty wooden bat. His worn, swollen fingers wrap slowly, but firmly, around the timber. He brushes a small tuft of graying hair behind his ear, and with a small grunt, he lifts the bat over his shoulder and stares down another man a short distance away.

The pitcher winds up, his arm spins around like a windmill, and he lets loose a small yellowtinted ball. The batter takes a swing.

There’s no crack. The batter hasn’t missed — the ball is simply too worn to make that distinct sound of connection. Instead, the ball has dropped right between the second basetender and the pitcher. It bounces off the hardened grass as the fielders scramble with bare hands to catch it. The batter sprints toward a small bag stuffed with hay at breakneck speed. His arms, covered in a fulllength white button-up shirt, flap at his side.

“Leg it!” his teammates cry from the sidelines.

His foot lunges for the base, just as the ball comes flying toward the first baseman.

“Striker’s dead!” the man in the suit shouts, and the batter turns and jogs glumly back toward his teammates, who aren’t afraid to let him know what they think. “You’ve gotta stir your stumps on those ones, geezer!” says a man in dark green pants, white shirt, and suspenders, patting the batter on the back with a smirk. “Geezer” smirks back, as if he knew the Live Oak team would go on to beat the Victory Base Ball Club in their afternoon vintage base-ball game.

That’s not a misspelling. Genesee Country Village & Museum in Mumford puts an old-timey spin on many familiar classics, including America’s alleged favorite pastime: baseball. Every summer more than 100 volunteer players help bring the game back to its roots, complete with period uniforms, equipment, lingo, and rules. After more than a decade, the GCVM Vintage Base Ball program (yes, back in the day base ball was 10 City august 8-14, 2012

Vintage base ball gets to the roots of America’s pastime

two words) has grown in size, popularity, and historical accuracy, giving fans the opportunity to learn more about a game they only thought they knew.

Back to basics Baseball became known as America’s pastime in the 19th century. Like our nation’s founding fathers, the sport came to this country from overseas and has been adapted over the years.

Baseball developed from various bat-andball games, including lapta (Russia), cricket and rounders (England), and schlagball (Germany). One of the first references to the name baseball came from the early 1800’s in a town bylaw from Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

The law banned strikers (baseball players) from playing too close to the new town hall (perhaps for fear of broken windows?). In the early half of the 19th century, small, friendly games started popping up at town halls and local parks. Despite overarching similarities, each area had its own set of rules for “town ball,” “round ball,” or what eventually became known as “base ball” (again, mind the gap between those two words).

There’s a lively debate among vintage base ball enthusiasts about exactly when, where,

and how the sport started. “We’re really good from the mid-1850’s on, but before that it’s a little dicier,” says Glenn Drinkwater, a local vintage base-ball player and source on the sport. “There’s a lot of information out there.”

Rochester holds a prominent place in the timeline of base ball, according to local base-ball history experts Joe Territo and Drinkwater. As players for the Rochester Base Ball Club team and Live Oak team respectively, the two have done extensive research into the founding of the sport.

Territo also helped found the Rochester Baseball Historical Society, and Drinkwater previously served as president of the nationwide Vintage Base Ball Association.

Territo says base ball was described as being played in Rochester as early as 1825, which falls early on the historical timeline of the sport nationwide. Old newspaper articles and accounts describe a stick and ball game played on Mumford’s meadow, a small pasture along the side of the Genesee River.

“It’s a very exciting thing for us base ball nerds,” Territo says.

At least three clubs formed in Rochester in the mid- to late 1850’s: The Rochester Base Ball Club, Live Oak, and Flour City.

All three teams are now brought back to life every weekend during the summer on the Silver Base Ball Park field at Genesee Country Village & Museum. Territo, who spends his nights as a photographer for the modern Rochester Red Wings baseball team, says members of the historic Live Oak and Rochester base-ball clubs eventually went on to become early members of the Red Wings.

Play ball “Fans are usually surprised by some of the differences” of vintage base ball vs. modern baseball says Marty Brancato, a player for the Live Oak team at GCVM. Among the most obvious departures from today’s game is the fact that the players don’t wear gloves. Luckily, they’re not catching 90 mile-an-hour pitches out there. The pitchers, called hurlers or feeders back then, still pitch fast, but it’s all done underhand. Strikers (batters) are also given a warning before an umpire doles out any strikes. Likewise, the hurler is warned if his pitches aren’t up to par before the umpire calls a “ball.”

But don’t let those courtesies fool you. These players aren’t afraid to tell one another when they’re doing badly. It’s

commonplace to hear teams cry out when their players “muff” a play. The fans, or cranks, are encouraged to cheer using 19th century base-ball terms (for a full list of old school base ball terms, see the sidebar). You won’t hear any food vendors shouting out, “Get your crackerjacks here!” since those weren’t invented until 1893. But you can get your peanuts and hot dogs while watching the game.

At GCVM, the people behind the concession stand are also volunteers. The ladies in skirts who serve concessions at the men’s games also hit the field on their own team. Although, some of the earliest recognized full-fledged ladies’ teams didn’t come along until the 1920’s, Genesee Country Village Museum has two women’s teams — The Brookes Grove Belles and Priscilla Porters’ Ladies Base Ball Club — that also play games on weekends throughout the summer at the museum.

Because records were sparse and inconsistent, there is room for interpretation when it comes to the rules of the game. In fact, each season, the GCVM program’s organizers decide which year of rules will govern play.

“Base ball has been evolving since it started,” Territo says. “There was a lot of evolution during the 1800’s. Every year, they’d come up with a different rule.” This season, the players at GCVM are playing by 1866 rules — a crucial year in terms of the development of the sport.

That year, players were allowed to catch balls off of one bounce in foul territory and still have it count as an out. “That was more gentlemanly to catch the ball [on a bounce] than to catch it on the fly — with no gloves,” says Brian Nagle,

Plugging the runner, soaking the runner: throwing the ball at the runner to put him out (this practice became illegal after 1845) Rover: shortstop Runner: One a striker (batter) is on base, they’re called a “runner” Scouts: outfielders Show a little ginger: play harder, play smarter Side out: three outs Sky ball: pop fly, fly ball Stringer: hard hit ball, oftentimes a home run Stir your stumps: run faster, hustle Striker: batter, hitter Striker to the line: batter up Tally: score, run count Three hands out, three hands dead: three outs, teams switch, end of half of the inning Whitewash: no-hitter inning, to hold a team scoreless in an inning Willow: the bat

director of programs and collections for the museum. Nagle played behind (what modern baseball fans would call a catcher) and second base for the Live Oak team for a few years, but has since stopped playing to focus on his job at the museum. But prior to 1866, in what were called “bounder” games, batters would be considered out if a fielder caught the ball in fair territory even after one bounce.

“It’s really important with all these crazy bounces and hops and things for the catcher to be quite agile in catching those for an out,” Nagle says. “It’s very frustrating for a batter to have that happen, but it’s great as a catcher.”

That said, vintage base ball fielders have to be wary of the way balls bounce on the field.

The players must catch those balls bare-handed, and the old-fashioned style often means some old-fashioned injuries. Shake hands with some of these players and you can tell who’s been playing longer. Their fingers are swollen and rough, some even have permanently deformed digits. I barely had time to ask Glenn “Geezer” Drinkwater if the 72-year-old had ever gotten hurt, when he proudly pushed his hand in my face, bent pinky finger and all.

“It’s been like that for three or four years. I keep hoping one day I’ll wake up and it’ll be all better,” he says.

Tony “The Tiger” Brancato was wearing a splint for the game I attended. “I broke that one,” he says, pointing to his ring finger, “and that one,” pointing to another. “And I broke my nose last year — It was a bad bounce,” he says, adding a chuckle. “Most guys out here will break a finger, if you just catch one wrong.”

A moment later, mid-sentence, Brancato turned to watch the striker — that’s what

they called batters back then — run toward first base, just as a fielder whipped the ball to the first baseman. “Striker’s dead!” his brother and umpire for that game, Marty Brancato, yelled from the field. “You see there, he threw it to [the baseman] like a ballplayer who was wearing a glove,” Brancato says. “Guys out here have been playing a long time, so you get used to catching it like that.”

Territo has broken one finger and sprained another, a relatively low number among the players. “It’s kind of a badge of honor for us vintage base-ball players; it’s kind of like ‘join the club,’” Territo says of injuries. Catching the ball with two hands in the “spring box” style, and cradling it slightly helped prevent players from injuring themselves.

“It makes us better base-ball players because it gives us what’s known as having ‘soft hands,’” Territo says. “Your throws have to be much more accurate because players are trying to catch with two hands. … That limits your range of motion a bit; you can’t reach too far from your body to catch a muffed throw.” (Players would refer to a bad throw or play as “muffed.” For a longer list of vintage base ball terms, see the sidebar).

There are plenty of other differences. Instead of a batter’s box, there is a line drawn through the center of the home base that the striker (batter) must keep one foot on at all times. And the pitcher, called a hurler or feeder in those days, had a 3’ to 4’ area from which he had to throw. The hurler was expected to throw hittable balls, and in the same vein, the striker was intended to swing at the hittable balls. The umpire could warn either player if they were

not up to snuff. “When it came down to it, the [striker] would say to the hurler, ‘I want one right here,’” says Jim “Pops” Northup, a player for the Rochester Base Ball Club. “So as a pitcher, you were supposed to pitch it in there.’”

Vintage players use the same ball — just one — for the whole game. That means if the ball gets hit into the woods, everyone goes out looking for it. It also means that over the course of the game, the ball softens up from being hit over and over again. The ball itself is a piece of leather sewn around a rubber ball wrapped in yarn. Ball players in the 19th century would have used animal hide, but the Genesee Country Village Museum players decided to do away with that “ick” factor, mostly for sanitary reasons.

One thing most historians agree on is that vintage base ball was all about gentlemanly sportsmanship. Most players would cheer a good play from the opposing side as much as one from their own. Players were also penalized for cursing or for arguing with the umpire. Can you imagine if that were the case today?

Part of the aim of the Vintage Base Ball program at GCVM, Nagle says, is to make this a sport that the whole family can enjoy both on and off the field. “We really try to capture the historic accuracy of the game, with the rules, the uniforms, play and so forth,” Nagle says.

Those uniforms include long pants, caps, and long-sleeve shirts made from mostly wool. That can prove a challenge to play in different weather conditions — and games are played in every kind of weather, unless there is lightning. The sun was beaming brightly during the first game I attended. The umpire went to the crowds in both stands, and asked if the ladies would be offended if the gentlemen — gasp! — rolled up their sleeves. Wearing a tank top on that 85-degree day, I found it pretty hard to object to that request. Still, every player on the Rochester team kept their sleeves down, choosing to stick to the traditional way of play.

“We try to maintain all of those 19th century expectations, and one of those expectations is that we need to be gentlemen,” Territo says. “We’re in public, and in the 19th century, you wanted to be respectable and respectful.” continues on page 17 rochestercitynewspaper.com City 11

Helmet performed at Water Street Music Hall on Saturday, August 4. PHOTO BY FRANK DE BLASE

The sizzle remains [ review ] by frank de blase

There is no mistaking the power of New York City’s Helmet, the nowlegendary heavy outfit fronted by its lone original member, guitaristvocalist Page Hamilton, and featuring a constantly revolving cast of other members. This in-flux line-up has never been a problem for Page, as I’ve seen Helmet three times now and his attack is still intact. The band’s amazing set at Warped Tour a few years back soared skyward as the band pummeled the kids along with the older punk fans (both older fans, and fans of older punk) with its beautiful brutality. However, the band’s Water Street Music Hall show this past Saturday shook the walls, leaving the fairly large crowd nowhere to hide — we all needed helmets.

It amazes me that even after all these years (the band formed in 1989), Helmet stands alone in its “thinking man’s metal” proto-grunge, droppedtune mayhem. But honestly, Helmet is

brilliant and untouchable. Opening the show was a band to watch, Anchorage, Nebraska, from Rochester (I know, it’s confusing). Anchorage is bringing back grunge’s disenfranchised sound and stance to clubs here in town. It’s way raunchy and cool.

The John Cole Blues Band played to an oddly modest crowd at the Dinosaur later that night. With my ears still ringing from Helmet’s onslaught, I was soothed by Cole’s soulful voice and his terse, simple picking style on his old Jazzmaster. He makes it sound so easy.

I assure you, it is not. Whereas a lot of blues players create flurries around the notes that matter, cluttering them with flash and fluff, Cole trims the fat as he cooks — but the sizzle remains.

Phoenix, Arizona-based Tom Grills (brother of locally based slinger Steve Grills) joined Cole on stage for a little back and forth and boogie. Again, it was cool.

Guitarist Neil Giraldo and vocalist Pat Benatar were a duo even back in the 80’s, but Giraldo says that record execs kept the focus on Benatar. PHOTO BY FRANK DE BLASE

He’s not Pat Pat Benatar feat. Neil Giraldo w/Journey and Loverboy Wednesday, August 15 CMAC, 3355 Marvin Sands Drive, Canandaigua 7 p.m. | $30-$89.50 | cmacevents.com Benatargiraldo.com [ INTERVIEW ] By Frank De Blase

Four-time Grammy winner Pat Benatar may be a real tough cookie with a long history of breaking little hearts like the one in me, but the diminutive diva with the big voice was only half of a duo that penned hits like “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” “Heartbreaker,” “You’d Better Run,” and “Love Is a Battlefield,” among others. Benatar’s hubby, one Neil Spyder James Giraldo, not only co-wrote, but created these songs’ signature, hook-laden riffs — riffs as recognizable and powerful as Benatar’s pipes.

Flash-forward today and the now silverhaired Giraldo has equal billing with the missus as they celebrate more than 30 years on stage together. Giraldo rang up City from a tour stop in Great Falls, Montana, to discuss new music, the hits, vitamins, and how some people used to think he was Pat. An edited transcript of our interview follows.

CITY: You’ve promised a new album in 2013. Are you road-testing any of the new material on this tour?

Neil Giraldo: We are, but mostly at sound

checks. Unfortunately with this package that were on, we only play 50 minutes. We don’t want to leave the people without hearing the hits they like. So we attack it that way.

14 City august 8-14, 2012

Do you think your audience prefers the hits?

I think they like to hear a new one every now and then. You know, with YouTube and all the other social media you can actually get away with doing a new song, because they post it and other people can hear it.

What’s different about the new stuff? What’s the same?

It’s the same in that the components are the same. Pat sounds the way she does and I sound the way I do, but I twist things quite a bit.

I have a pretty bent sense of arrangement at times and I’m a frustrated drummer, so I base everything around rhythm. So it’s probably more rhythmic than it has been in the past.

Is there anything musically in you that we have yet to hear?

Well, I love playing piano. I’ve been playing since I was 13. Love Count Basie, I love the blues, and that walking left-hand bass line.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to merge that into a contemporary mode.

Like the stuff you did with Roomful of Blues years ago?

Yes. I’d like to work some of the “True Love” stuff into this tour — piano, bass, and drums — but really rockin’.

Who are you listening to?

I like artists like Jack White who don’t bullshit around and just go out there and say, This is what I do, I’m gonna throw it at you, I’m not going to autotune my voice, I’m gonna make mistakes on my record. I love all of that.

It’s rock ‘n’ roll.

Exactly right. And it doesn’t appear a lot of places. Everything is so tight and tested and

pro-tooled. Ech. I still love Roky Erickson.

He just gets me. I love the 13th Floor Elevators, too. I used to love “You’re Gonna Miss Me” when I was a kid and I still think it’s a brilliant song.

How about having Pat sing “Don’t Slander Me”?

That’s funny you should say that. I’m singing “Don’t Slander Me.” I probably shouldn’t tell you this, but I’m slipping it into “Heartbreaker.” It’s perfect. It fits really well.

In your spare time you’ve started a vitamin business. What gives?

I’m a full believer in trying to stay healthy. I didn’t think I was going to make it to 30, but then I realized, Holy crap, I’ve got children I want to see grow, I’d better do something about it. So I developed a supplement company — On The Rock Nutrition — and started working on formulas. It’s exciting. It’s like writing a song using the creative process. I use me as a guinea pig. And now I’m creating all these crazy formulas. I love it.

One hundred years from now, what will they be saying about Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo?

They will say they didn’t understand what we were. Nobody really knew me. In the early days, we were a partnership, but the record company and management didn’t want anyone to know that. So they kept it quiet. I’d have people come up and say, Neil, when did you join the band? Or they’d call me Pat. So they’ll say, We didn’t know the complexity of what they were about. But in the end we got to know them and really liked ‘em like they were neighbors.

Alternative | Desert Noises

Provo, Utah-based Desert Noises is rich with alt-country grit and 90’s beat-driven rock, but its vocal harmonies also suggest alt-folk bands like Fleet Foxes. The quartet’s CD “Mountain Sea” (2011) rubs elbows with its earthy flannel-wearing brethren on tracks “Oak Tree” and “Tell Me You Love Me” while “Hey Ah” might just be the song you’ve been waiting to hear. Desert Noises played its heart out at the Bug Jar last year. Add relentless touring and it will win fans on this side of the coast. Gin & Bonnets and There I Say Is Lightning share the bill. Shakedown DJs follow bands at 11 p.m.

COUNTRY | The Band Perry

MERENGUE | Joaquin Diaz

The Perry siblings have been country crooners since they were children. When Kimberly (lead vocals, guitar, piano), the oldest of the three, was just a teenager, she sang in her own band, while her brothers Neil (mandolin, drums, accordion) and Reid (bass) worked as the group’s roadies. At ages 8 and 10, respectively, the brothers began performing as the Mobile Music Machines, opening for their sister. But since the three decided to combine their musical efforts in 2005, they have quickly climbed the music billboard, with their single “If I Die Young” reaching No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

The band is in the process of writing material for its second full-length album, due to drop this fall. Three-time Grammy recipient and country superstar Brad Paisley headlines the show, with Scotty McCreery, winner of the 10th season of “American Idol,” filling out the bill.

Raised in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, Joaquin Diaz started his music career playing in the streets of his hometown at the age of 9. From there, the folk-merengue artist performed at the Pan-American Games in Puerto Rico, followed by a private concert for then-Dominican president Joaquin Balaguer. Diaz relocated to Montreal in 1990, and shortly thereafter began touring extensively around the United States, Canada, and Europe. Diaz has released three albums of traditional Caribbean music, and brings his signature accordion and Latin soul to Abilene for show that will combine both traditional songs with Diaz’s original pieces.

Back to bases continues from page 11

A family affair Base ball is a bit of a family tradition for the Brancato family. Marty Brancato, his brother Tony, and his nephew Brian Brancato all play for the Live Oak baseball team, and Brancato’s 14-year-old nephew is waiting impatiently for his turn to join the team. All 90 or so players at the Genesee Country Village and Museum are volunteers, and range in age from 16 (the youngest they can start playing) to 72.

Marty Brancato, like many of the players, began with the team in its inaugural year in 2001. Brancato says he saw an ad in the newspaper, and convinced his brother-in-law to come to a meeting about the program with him. “We were sitting in the back row and once they started talking, we just looked at each other and started snickering like little kids in the candy store, like, ‘This is so cool,’” he says.

By the second season, Marty’s brother Tony caught the vintage base-ball fever. “I’ve been kicking myself every year for not doing it the first year. The following spring I was out here and I’ve been out here ever since,” he says.

You could say baseball is in the Brancato’s blood. “My grandfather played semi-pro and briefly professional base ball back in the day,” Marty Brancato says. He says his grandfather returned to playing semi-pro ball to spend more time at home with his wife and two kids.

“My dad taught me how to play baseball, my grandfather taught me how to love baseball,” says Marty Brancato. It’s a similar sentiment shared by a handful of father-son pairs on each of the four teams that play at GCVM. Most grew up playing baseball or softball. “This family invents our own stupid,

silly games,” Marty Brancato says. “If there’s a ball, a bat or stick, a way to make up rules, we’re on it.”

For Territo, vintage base ball was a way to combine his passion with his skills. “It was a cross between softball, which I was playing at the time, and baseball, which I loved,” Territo says. “Like most kids that grew up in the 70’s or any era before computers, baseball was part of an everyday thing in summertime. There wasn’t a day that went by in the summer that I didn’t go and play baseball with my friends.”

Brotherhood of base ball The family-friendly vibe jives across team lines. “It really is its own little brotherhood of base ball,’” Territo says. “The camaraderie between our teammates is just fantastic. We are like a true 19th century base ball club when it comes to the socializing aspect of it.

We’re all friends — even across teams.”

And those teams are growing each year.

teams and two ladies’ base ball teams that play for about 14 weekends every summer.

Nagle says the popularity of vintage base ball groups seems to have grown nationwide over the last five to 10 years.

“We’re kind of spoiled here, because there are four teams, right here in one area. But then the next nearest team is going to end up somewhere in Pennsylvania or Ohio,” Nagle says. Vintage teams from eight other areas come to the Genesee Country Village & Museum each year for the Silver Ball Tournament, which in 2012 was held the first week of August. (See sidebar for the mens’ and womens’ full schedules) For the players, it’s a time to socialize and embrace the fact that they get to play a game they’ve loved for years — even if the rules are a little different. “I’m a kid that never grew up,” Northup says.

“Dirty Jim” Feuerstein says that makes for some high-scoring and exhilarating games.

“Some of the best athletes you’ll see out here are lifelong baseball or softball players,” Feuerstein

says. “You’ve got some very good athletes, and then you’ve got guys like me. And that works.”

Nagle says it works for museum-goers too, and GCVM patrons have really latched onto this piece of Americana, helping the vintage base ball program grow over the past 12 seasons.

“The early games were all played in a meadow or a grassy field with kids. It started as a social aspect, as a way of bringing communities together … it’s a sharing of values, it’s a way to celebrate something.” Nagle says. “It’s something that truly is American.”

18 City august 8-14, 2012

If you only paid attention to the promotional materials, you might think — as I did — that “The Calamari Sisters’ Big Fat Italian Wedding” is a campy, broadly comic, song-and-dance-filled trifle based around ethnic and gender stereotypes.

And, hey, it is all of those things. But what might surprise you — as it did me — is the wit, craft, and polish put on display. This is a thoroughly well-thoughtout and executed production, and after having seen it, I’m not surprised that the Calamari Sisters — created by Jay Falzone, Dan Lavender, and Stephen Smith, and premiered right here in Rochester — have been embraced by local audiences for the past several years, and are poised to spread out across the country like a tipped-over bowl of lovingly made pasta e fagioli.

“Big Fat Italian Wedding” is the third chapter in what has emerged as the Calamari Sisters franchise. The previous two installments — “Cooking with the Calamari Sisters” and “Christmas with the Calamari Sisters” — packed

houses at two different Downstairs Cabaret Theatre locations. Those shows introduced thousands of Rochesterians to the unique charms of Delphine and Carmela Calamari, a pair of very Italian siblings living in Brooklyn. The two combined their twin loves of food and performing into a public-access TV show called “Mangia Italiano,” in which they cook, bicker, cook, sing, bicker, dance, pleasantly insult the audience, and bicker some more.

“Wedding” finds one of the sisters on the verge of walking down the aisle, and “Mangia Italiano” goes on location to that most glamorous of destinationwedding locales — the Catskills! — as Carmela and Delphine teach audience members how to prepare a spectacular reception buffet, and try to make it to the altar without killing one another.

Perhaps the most astonishing thing about

the Calamari franchise is the depth of the world that Falzone, Lavender, and Smith have created for their lead characters.

I’m not even talking about the first two full productions — just read through the program notes to “Italian Wedding.” They are hysterically funny, and showcase some gleefully subversive tendencies. (Just the bit on director Francis Ford Coppola had me sniggering before the show even started.)

As for the lead characters themselves, yes, Carmela and Delphine are total stereotypes. But they have fully fleshed-

out backstories and distinct personalities.

(Carmela is, shall we say, very physically generous to the menfolk, while Delphine’s carnal urges are focused on meats that have been salted or cured.)

The dynamic makes for a fantastic comedy duo, and the sparking chemistry between the two of them is one of the show’s greatest strengths. In fact, things sag a bit in “Italian Wedding” when one or the other sister is off set.

The second act also gets slowed down from being overstuffed with song-anddance numbers, most of them mash-ups of familiar pop tunes from the 1950’s to the present with some moderately altered lyrics for parody purposes.

Both Carmela and Delphine — they are identified only as Carmela and Delphine in the program — can sing, dance, and perform. But the songs seem almost superfluous, especially given the strength of the show’s comedy. I like hearing “Going to the Chapel” well enough, but I found myself wanting the sisters to get right back to the rapid-fire banter, the expertly delivered long-con punchlines, and the lightningquick zingers during the audienceparticipation bits.

The music is undoubtedly part of the

show’s crowd-pleasing appeal, though — and it is a crowd pleaser, hitting a wide range of audiences. Fans of cabaret, camp, musicals, ethnic comedy, and even old-school farce will find much to appreciate with this show. The impressive set reveals smart little details throughout the performance (love the portrait of Jesus that lights up in disapproval when an audience member gives a bad answer), including some impressive and intricate stunt tricks for the harried finale. The East End Theatre, which was overhauled specifically for this show, is also a great venue, and one that is set to get lots of use during the upcoming inaugural Fringe Festival in September.

The final page of the program suggests that more Calamari Sisters adventures are in the offing, and the website includes posters for even more prospective productions that may or may not be jokes (please let “Sitting Shiva with the Calamari Sisters” happen).

Don’t be surprised if this burgeoning entertainment empire continues to grow and expand for years to come. The people in charge clearly know what they’re doing. I’m calling it right now, coming in 2046: “The Calamari Sisters Make Marzipan on Mars.”

Ladie� & Gentlemen START YOUR ENGINES! RECREATION | Perseid Meteor Shower

This weekend Mother Nature will put on her annual late-night light show in the summer sky. On Saturday, August 11, the Perseid meteor shower will cast shooting stars through the dark sky. Every year, the earth passes through a cloud of debris left by the comet Swift-Tuttle. This creates the plethora of “falling stars” known as the Perseid meteor shower.

On Saturday at 8 p.m. the Nature Conservancy will host a gathering in the Thousand Acre Swamp Sanctuary, located at 1581 Jackson Road in Penfield, to view the shower. Dress for cool evenings and consider bringing a flashlight and lawn chair. For more information on the swamp visit nature. org, and for information on the Perseids event call Marie Heerkens at 773-8911. For other views of the meteor shower, try to escape city lights and well-lit areas. — BY ANNE RITZ

THEATER | Bristol Valley Theater

This week take a road trip to the Finger Lakes for an evening of comedy or an afternoon of fantasy at Bristol Valley Theater.

One of Neil Simon’s best-loved romantic comedies, “Barefoot in the Park,” (pictured) starts its run Thursday, August 9. The story begins with newlyweds moving into their first New York City apartment. The play explores the ups and downs of those first few days of marriage, like peculiar neighbors, a meddling mother-in-law, and a faulty radiator in February. The show runs at BVT through Sunday, August 19; performance times this week are Thursday-Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

Tickets cost $12-$33.

For the kids — or adults who love “The Wizard of Oz” series — Bristol Valley will continue its performances of “Ozma of Oz,” an adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s children’s classic written by playwright Dominic Orlando. The theater’s apprentice company of 11- to 17-year-old performers will present this show, which features another adventure with Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion. Performances run Tuesday, August 14, through Friday, August 17, at 11 a.m.

Tickets are $5 for all ages.

Past and present, memory and dream [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“Total Recall” (PG-13), directed by Len Wiseman Now playing

The remarkably productive and inventive Phillip K. Dick explored some of the most unusual territory in all of science fiction, blending futuristic technology with complex inquiries into brain chemistry, the process of cognition, and the very meaning of reality. His ingenious work inspired some highly unusual movies — “Blade Runner,” based on the novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,” “Minority Report,” and “Total Recall,” based on the story “We

Can Remember It for You Wholesale.” (He also obviously liked quirky titles.)

Although employing many of the same materials, the remake of “Total Recall” — the original, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, appeared in 1990 — adapts the story rather differently. A rapid flash of prose on the screen identifies the temporal setting as the end of the 21st century, when chemical warfare has poisoned Earth, with the exception of something resembling a new version of the British Empire.

In this dystopian future, The United Federation of Britain rules the world, exploiting the citizens of Australia, now known as The Colony; the Federation is one of those featureless, streamlined wonderlands beloved of Hollywood, while The Colony is a crowded, squalid slum where the sun never shines and the inhabitants dwell in misery.

Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell) lives in a dreary apartment with his wife, Lori (Kate Beckinsale), in The Colony, commuting to work in a preposterous elevator/subway that runs through

the center of the planet from his country to the Federation in an astonishing 17 minutes (really!). Haunted by violent, inexplicable dreams, bored and frustrated with his job, he takes a chance on Rekall, a place that implants in the brain presumably happy memories of events and places that the client never actually experiences. Once the technicians hook him up to the Rekall apparatus, all hell breaks loose — a squad of armed policemen break in, shooting everyone in sight, except Quaid, who disarms and kills the whole bunch. And then the fun begins.

From that moment the movie proceeds in slam-bang fashion, essentially turning into one long, complicated chase. Quaid, who gradually discovers another identity beneath the surface of the person he thought he was, flees the forces of the Federation, running toward a destiny that reveals itself through danger and violence.

Along the way he finds that his ostensible self is a creation of the technology of Rekall, that he actually is a man named Carl Hauser, a brilliant agent who worked for the Federation, then joined the rebel forces in The Colony fighting for freedom from their oppressors in Britain.

In the process, he finds that he must question not only his identity but the true nature of reality, as all his assumptions about his life, his marriage, his whole world dissolve into illusion.

In a series of philosophical conversations strung out along the hectic path of his adventures,

Vanishing ravioli [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“elBulli: Cooking in Progress” (NR), directed by Gereon Wetzel Screens Saturday-Sunday at the Dryden

Quaid debates the sources of identity, arguing that a person’s personality derives from the sum of his memories, while others tell him that the past is only a construct, even a fantasy, that only the present exists, a kind of existentialist argument for a continual initiation into reality, a continual creation of the self.

The movie’s incessant action proceeds at a terrific pace, with innumerable gun battles, pursuits in vehicles that hover above the highways, helicopter chases, and confrontations with robot soldiers called synthetics. Quaid and a new ally, Melina (Jessica Biel), climb, jump, vault, and fall all over the scenery, with repeated sequences of races through a maze of alleys, corridors, and tenements, and leaps in and out of a series of elevators. Although excessive and prolonged, the complicated flight nicely reflects the labyrinth of Quaid’s own confusions and perceptions.

Unlike most contemporary science-fiction blockbusters, “Total Recall” at least provides something like an intellectual basis for its frantic action and bang-bang pacing, no doubt inherited from the original story. Its questioning of reality, its discussions of the existence and meaning of personal identity, its inquiry into the power of the mind, its deliberate fusion of memory, dream, and fantasy all reflect the influence of the author’s unusual vision. It belongs with movies like “Blade Runner” and the first “Matrix” in considering some intriguing subjects that rarely trouble all those geniuses and wizards in Hollywood.

Of course these kinds of lists are wildly subjective, but before it served its final meal in July of last year, elBulli had been voted the world’s best restaurant five times in the pages of the British magazine Restaurant. Located in Roses, Spain, on Catalonia’s stunning Costa Brava, elBulli, under the direction of Ferran Adrià, was renowned for pushing the envelope of haute cuisine by combining the chef’s imagination with the all of the edible science at his disposal to create something entirely unexpected.

But out of the 2 million reservations requests that the 50-seat elBulli fielded every year, only about 8,000 guests got to experience the three-hour repast of 30-plus courses (at about $350 per person), making director Gereon Wetzel’s “elBulli: Cooking in Progress” a valuable if slightly sterile visual account of just what happened there. And those diners didn’t even get the insider

access that we’re afforded through cinematographer Josef Mayerhofer’s fly-on-the-wall images, a job made relatively easy through elBulli’s gorgeous surroundings, intriguing staff, and exquisite food. elBulli was actually open only about half the year, the other half devoted to time in the kitchen lab coming up with new dishes, and that’s where “Cooking in Progress” opens. It’s the end of a season, so the equipment gets packed up in Roses and moved to Barcelona.

That’s where Adrià’s team, led by the patient, committed Oriol Castro, begins to brainstorm elBulli’s next menu.

And the possibilities really are endless; sweet potatoes give up their essence, mushrooms take a spin in the vacuumizer, a slick of hazelnut oil finds its way into a cocktail, and ice chips become the key to a successful vinaigrette.

“Taste comes later,” says Adrià, notebook and utensils close at hand as he’s presented dish after potential dish by nervously hovering chefs, suggesting that a foolproof technique is the current priority. We follow Adrià and other key members of his staff as they venture out into the marketplace into find ingredients, buying from one vendor five grapes (“Are you feeling the crisis?” she wonders) and arguing with the fishmonger over whether the seasonality of seafood qualifies as a trade secret.

It’s made very obvious that the vein of talent runs deep in the elBulli kitchen, with Adrià having the final say but Castro and co-head chef Eduard Xatruch spearheading the surprising creations.

Before long it’s back to elBulli to open for the season, the kitchen now housing an army of young chefs accepted that year for an unpaid but coveted stage.

And, on the off-chance you’ve read it, this also happens to be where “Cooking

in Progress” merges with Lisa Abend’s book “The Sorcerer’s Apprentices: A Season in the Kitchen at Ferran Adrià’s elBulli.” Both the film and the book cover 2009, the former able to provide faces to names and glossy food porn to finished dishes. We witness a little of the interns going through elBulli’s exacting paces, as their mentors offer terse correction and private praise.

But, as Adrià points out, “Creativity and production are two different things,” so the film mostly sticks to Adrià and his senior staff as they fine-tune the formulas that will ultimately lead to the menu. “Cooking in Progress” is shot in the style of a Frederick Wiseman documentary, meaning that there’s no narration and, save for the odd graphic, essentially devoid of context. It’s not always easy to tell what’s occurring, and even the most diehard gastronome might find their thoughts wandering during an extended scene of someone mulling over an ingredient. This is the rare food documentary that will leave you more fascinated than hungry.

The frustrating thing, though, is that the intense and unblinking Adrià remains quite the cipher. He spends much of the film in the background on the phone, and though we get glimpses of both Adrià’s fiery temper and clever wit, we don’t learn what inspired the man to almost singlehandedly reinvent the 21st-century dining experience. (And no insight into Adrià’s plan to reopen elBulli in 2014 as a sort of culinary think tank.) But once director Wetzel closes his film with alluring still-life photography by longtime Adrià collaborator Francesc Guillamet of dishes like bone marrow tartar with oysters and “vanishing ravioli,” it’s obvious that he too thinks like a chef, recognizing that the food is the real star.

An Oasis Inside and Out 1911 North Clinton Avenue

Search. Buy. Sell.

Most of us are almost too familiar with the classic urban Rochester home of the early twentieth century. These houses, often variations on the American Foursquare form with three rooms down, three bedrooms up, an attic and a spacious porch, proliferated in Rochester and the suburbs before the Second World War. But it would be a mistake to allow that familiarity to make one pass by the house at 1911 North Clinton Avenue. There are surprises inside and within the private, fully enclosed backyard.

Meticulously and lovingly updated, this 1925 house features the hardwood floors, original picture molding and bay window of its era, and an enclosed front porch that offers space for comfortable conversational seating. The living and dining rooms flow into each other, and new sliding glass doors open to the backyard, offering light, fresh air, and an amazing view from both rooms. The door opens to a covered deck overlooking an extraordinary garden.

The owner, a dedicated plantsman, took full advantage of the 45x139 foot lot to create a hidden oasis bordered by well-mulched perennials, lilacs, a Japanese maple focal point at one end, and a bubbling fountain and miniature pool with tiny blooming water lilies.

This quiet refuge truly is an outdoor room and could provide entertaining space as well as lovely views, even in winter.

Inside, the rooms have textured wall treatments in rich, warm colors, and

the completely renovated kitchen has light maple cabinets, a great floor plan, glamorous light fixtures and a window overlooking the yard. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a handsome full bath.

There are good closets and lovely new and old lights. The attic has finished space as well as ample storage. There is more storage in the snug, dry basement, which has a well-designed laundry area.

Great care has been taken in the updating of this house: fixtures, cabinets, textures, and colors have been c hosen as carefully as the specimen plants in the garden, even down to the pineapple added to the newel post, a traditional symbol of hospitality. And any host would take pride in entertaining here; the flow of the rooms makes the 1,456 square foot house seem even larger. Listed at $79,900, it is in a quiet neighborhood north of Ridge Road that imperceptibly merges with Irondequoit, close to Seneca Park, with its walking trails and zoo, to shopping and to the expressway. To see this house and its garden oasis visit rochestercityliving.com/ property/R188214 or call Nicholas Perlot of Nothnagle Realtors at 313-8455.

Fun [ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD New York City’s tap water is already widely regarded as world-class, in safety and taste (and subjected to a half-million tests a year by the city’s Department of Environmental Protection). However, two entrepreneurs recently opened the Molecule water bar in the city’s East Village, selling 16-ounce bottles of the same water for $2.50, extra-filtered through their $25,000 machine that applies UV rays, ozone treatment and “reverse osmosis” in a seven-stage process to create what they call “pure H2O.” The owners of Molecule are a restaurateur/ art dealer and a “social-justice activist” who is a “former world champion boomerang player,” according to a July Wall Street Journal profile.

Can’t Possibly Be True

— In 2011, the Liberty County, Texas, home of Joe Bankson and Gena Charlton was raided by sheriff’s deputies, the FBI, state officials and a trailing media crew (alerted by the sheriff), checking out a tip that “25 to 30” children’s bodies were buried on the property. No evidence was found, and in a June 2012 lawsuit for defamation, Bankson and Charlton claim that the sheriff had organized the raid knowing full well that the tipster was a self-described “prophet” who had disclosed that her information came from “Jesus and the (32) angels” who were present with her. The sheriff said he did everything “by the book” and that a judge signed the search warrant confirming “probable cause” to believe that at least one crime (if not 25 to 30) had been committed.

— In July, the online magazine Salon profiled Virtuous Pedophiles -- an effort by two notably articulate men

who insist that their sexual fascination with children would never extend to personal contact. Said one (who claims “advanced degrees from prestigious universities”): “We do not choose to be attracted to children (but) we can resist the temptation to abuse children sexually.” He added, curiously, that “many” of the Virtuous Pedophiles “present no danger to children whatsoever.” Lamented the group’s co-founder, “Almost any group in the world can hold a convention, look out on a sea of faces, and say, ‘These are people like me,’“ but because pedophiles are treated with such scorn, “we can’t.”

Least Competent Criminals

— James Allan, 28, was sentenced to three years in prison in Oxford, England, in July for robbing a news shop.

Allan’s getaway was delayed when he insisted, repeatedly, on pushing the front door open when he obviously should have been pulling. Finally, exasperated, he yanked off his balaclava, exposing his face to the surveillance camera, kicked the door, breaking the glass, and escaped. Police arrested him about three hours later nearby.

(The 2000 British movie “Snatch” featured just such a memorable scene of push/pull helplessness.)

— When the assistant manager arrived early on June 26 to open up the Rent-A-Center in Brockton, Mass., he encountered a man with his head stuck underneath the heavy metal loading bay door (obviously as a result of a failed burglary attempt during the night). “Hang tight!” the manager consoled the trapped man. “The police are on their way.” Manuel Fernandes, 53, was arrested.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 30 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may feel as if you are on an emotional roller coaster ride.

Don’t put too much pressure on you or someone you are attracted to if you want things to progress steadily. Build a solid friendship before taking on more then you can handle emotionally.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Travel, communications and visiting places that intrigue you will all lead to encounters with potential partners. Share your thoughts, and someone with similar plans will help you fulfill your dreams.

Assertive action will bring results in the romance department.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take a closer look at someone pursuing you. Avoid playing emotional mind games that can lead to disappointment. Rely on past experience to recognize when someone has ulterior motives. Sorrow and deception are likely to develop if you don’t protect your heart.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your body language will speak loud and clear when it comes to what your intentions are and what you want in a partner. Travel, attending cultural events or meeting someone from a different background will bring you in contact with someone you find breathtaking.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your bravado will entice interesting suitors. Activities that allow you to show your talents will help attract someone who has as much to offer. Traveling back to your roots can lead to an interesting encounter with an old lover.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): As long as you keep everything in perspective and avoid people who are overindulgent, you will do well with romance. Meeting someone through a work event or while traveling or taking part in a self-help course is likely to lead to an interesting emotional prospect.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Attracting a chameleon is likely, and you will add one more person to your fan club. You need a partner who offers you equality, not another follower. Don’t let loneliness lead to settling for someone less than what you want or deserve in an emotional partnership.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A wild imagination coupled with a passionate partner will lead to plenty of physical romance.

But when it comes to discussing plans for the future, you will find that you are heading down a totally different path then the person who is holding your heart.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your impulsiveness will get you into trouble when it comes to love and romance. Think before you act or make promises you aren’t likely to keep. A change at home will reflect that you may have led someone on or you attracted someone possessive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Changes at home will lead to good fortune in the romance department. A change of heart or plans will help you stabilize your life and your prospects for the future. A unique relationship will develop with someone who is just as driven as you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let love cost you. Spending too much on someone in order to make a good impression will backfire. Use your imagination, and you will come up with a unique, cost-efficient way to win someone’s heart. An affectionate approach will far exceed a token.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Put your heart on the line, and express how you feel emotionally.

It’s what you say and do that will make the difference to someone who is a good fit for you. Share your space with someone special, and the gesture will be reciprocated.
