Industrial power play The former Kodak Park, now known as Eastman Business Park (pictured), is seen by local and state leaders as an economic development lynchpin for the Rochester region.

The 1,200-acre site is evolving from Kodak’s film and chemical manufacturing hub to a cluster of renewable energy and advanced manufacturing companies. And that, say local business and government leaders, is what will keep the former Kodak Park a productive center of industry.

But there’s a catch. One of the park’s key features, its dedicated power plant, needs to be upgraded

in order to meet upcoming federal and state environmental requirements. Kodak, which owns the business park and the power plant, is going through bankruptcy proceedings and it’s not clear that the company will have the millions of dollars needed for the upgrades.

Government and economic development officials say they want the plant to keep operating, since it is an attractive feature for high-tech industries. So the scenario raises questions about who will, and who should fund the upgrades.

The need for guns

I grew up with guns. I owned a 22 pistol, and I was a good shot. My grandpa had a large frog pond, so I spent summers plinking frogs. When the top of their heads rose above the water, I would shoot them between the eyes, and Grandma would fix frog legs for dinner.

When I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Colombia, I was walking on a dark street when three young men recognized I was American.

One of them shoved a pistol into my stomach, and said, “You damn gringo, I’m going to kill you.”

Of course I was terrified, but in that split second I instinctively responded with a smile, and replied, “Come on, let me buy you guys a drink.”

My assailant was disarmed by my response and put the gun away. In a nearby bar, we bought each other drinks and parted friends - handshakes all around.

If I had carried a gun and had tried to reach for it, he would have shot me. Of course, he expected me to beg for my life. By responding with a smile, I defused his threat.

In 2010 there were 12,996 murders in the US, 8775 by firearms. While some of the firearm murders would have taken place anyway, there is surely no question that if firearms were banned there would be fewer actual murders.

Of course this is utopian. The Right to Keep and Bear Arms is in the Constitution because the colonists recognized the need for a citizen militia to prevent a seizure of power.

In the 18th century, a wellregulated militia needed only muzzle-loading muskets and rifles. The Minutemen were more than a match for British regulars because they used better weapons and hunted deer with them (and maybe frogs).

Since regular military units today have a far more varied arsenal, a case can be made that citizens need the right to bear AR-15s, Glocks, machine guns, bazookas, tanks, and even ground-to-air

missiles. But according to the Second Amendment the purpose of such weapons is for a well-regulated militia.

The Second Amendment does not authorize citizens to keep and bear arms unless they belong to a well-regulated militia.

If we can’t outlaw private gun ownership because of the Second Amendment, we can enforce it. If you want to own guns, you must be a member in good standing of a well-regulated militia, and that militia must be legally responsible for your access to weapons just as regular military units are.

Don’t get me wrong! If you want to plink frogs with your 22, that’s just fine. But if someone pulls a gun on you, buy him a beer.

BRUCE “PACHO” LANE, ROCHESTER

On Garrison Keillor’s Writers Almanac show on WXXI-FM, he read a brief piece by writer Molly Ivins that reminded me of your column (“Why Not Ban Guns?”

Urban Journal): “I am not anti-gun. I’m proknife. Consider the merits of the knife. In the first place, you have to catch up with someone in order to stab him. A general substitution of knives for guns would promote physical fitness. We’d turn into a whole nation of great runners.

Plus, knives don’t ricochet. And people are seldom killed while cleaning their knives.”

KEN MAHER

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com The last time I checked, gun ownership was a protected constitutional right, rather like equal rights, the right to assemble, and the right to free speech. Each of these rights has led to violence and sometimes death.

So why not suggest we end the right of free speech while we are at it? It would end all those troublesome arguments, protests, and political conventions that so often lead to violence. And that darned right to freely assemble; once again, it just leads to those violent parties, soccer games, protests, and political events that turn violent. And equal rights? Throw that out, too. After all, we’ve been bickering and fighting over those rights as well.

You know, you may be on to something. Just think how safe and quiet it will be if no one is armed, or free to leave their homes, or speak to each other...

Brooks and the taxpayers

I applaud the Democrats in the County Legislature for introducing legislation prohibiting spending taxpayer dollars on advertisements featuring county elected officials. Not long ago, I received an e-mail from my neighborhood organization announcing a number of community events in the Highland Park Bowl. The announcement stated the events were “compliments of Maggie Brooks and Monroe County.”

I asked the list facilitator: In what way were the events “compliments” of Executive Brooks? Did she contribute personal funds to the events? My query was forwarded to the county but I never received an answer.

An honest statement would have said, “Park events were compliments of taxpayers.” This honesty would help build a sense of community and increase our appreciation for government by showing our taxes are put to good use.”

I have continued to see Brooks’ name on buses, county vehicles, etc. Shameless self-promotion by politicians like Brooks is problematic; it contributes to the cynicism and alienation people feel about our government. Brooks should stop her self-promotion by attaching her name to every taxpayer-funded service and accomplishment.

Brooks and the CSEA

It’s amazing what a little paid media will do (“Brooks’ Busy Week,” News). Do you think it’s a coincidence that the hard-working people of Monroe County are getting closer to a contract? Do you think being a Congressional candidate has anything to do with the workers getting a temporary agreement? Just sayin.

And while I’m at it, here’s my two cents on the whole BrooksSlaughter deal. Brooks is a candidate who has given her soul to the radical House GOP and now she is trying to rationalize her extreme positions to moderate Monroe County voters. She is really in a pickle.

Romney’s powerful pitch Now the attention is on Charlotte, and the Democrats are going to have to go some to stage a more successful convention than the Republicans did.

Conventions may not do much to sway the general public, but they can help shape a campaign, laying out its general thrust. And they can fire up the people who will go back to their own states and work on voters there.

That can influence elections, both for the presidency and for Congress, which this year will be crucial.

However well the Democrats perform this week, Obama’s odds don’t seem good.

The truth is, the economy is recovering far more slowly than anybody wants. And while there are success stories in some states, a lot of people are feeling a lot of pain.

To that truth, Republicans are adding multiple fabrications (playing much looser with the facts than the Democrats, by numerous accounts). And as one Romney aide said, the campaign isn’t going to be dictated by fact checking.

Even before the conventions, this campaign had sunk into dismaying negativity, with elected officials in both parties looking more like adolescent boys in a back-alley fight than statesmen doing the nation’s business.

I was struck by Mark Leibovich’s article in the New York Times Magazine, “Feel the Loathing on the Campaign Trail,” and his fantasy of the Obamas inviting the Romneys to the White House, where they all sit around eating hot dogs, sharing personal stories and photographs, and getting to know one another. Leibovich, depressed by the current campaign, started sharing his fantasy with people at campaign stops. The pols politicized it; ordinary voters loved the thought.

Like Leibovich, I’m depressed. Maybe speakers at the Dems’ convention will go positive, sticking to the facts and trusting voters to see the difference. But I doubt it. And maybe it wouldn’t matter. Maybe I’m giving voters more credit than we’re due. The truth is complicated. Crafting a successful future is complicated.

In the end, I’m not sure all the media fact checking in the world will matter.

Republicans are counting on voters’ gullibility, the need for simplicity, and I won’t be surprised if it pays off. While Romney is accused of being vague about what he would do as president, he’s probably being as specific as the average voter wants him to be. We may not know the “how” of his plans, but we can see the “what” pretty clearly, and he laid it out at the convention: In a Romney presidency, the country will start “taking full advantage of our

We may not know the ‘how’ of Mitt Romney’s plans, but we can see the ‘what’ pretty clearly.” coal, our gas, our oil, our nuclear, and our renewables.”

He’ll “repeal Obamacare.”

He’ll “protect the sanctity of life, honor the institution of marriage, and guarantee the freedom of religion.”

He’ll “build an America so strong that no nation would dare test it.”

“Every parent should have a choice, and every child should have a chance.”

To help with the sale, Romney’s speechwriters have come up with catchy lines that will play well not just to hardcore conservatives but also to Democrats, moderate Republicans, and independents: “If you felt that excitement when you voted for Barack Obama four years ago, shouldn’t you feel that way now that he’s President Obama?”

“President Obama promised to slow the rise of the ocean and to heal the planet. My promise is to help you and your family.”

Barack Obama offered hope and change four years ago. Romney says he’ll give us the bright future that Obama has destroyed: “That future is our destiny. That future is out there. It is waiting for us. Our children deserve it, our nation depends upon it, the peace and the freedom of the world require it.”

That is the kind of emotional appeal that helped propel Barack Obama to the presidency. It was effective then. It could be effective now.

Meantime, various media are reporting that the Democrats convening in Charlotte are not as fired up as they were four years ago.

They’d better wake up.

CYCLING | BY JEREMY MOULE

Cyclists urge sharing the road

As a triathlete, Mary Eggers logs plenty of time on her bicycle.

But after her friend, Fairport teacher Heather Boyum, was killed in July while riding in Penfield, Eggers had been hesitant to take to the road. It didn’t help that, shortly after the Boyum tragedy, another of Eggers’ friends was run off the road by a large truck. For several weeks, Eggers rode indoors on a trainer.

Sibley deal reached

The City of Rochester has agreed to sell the Sibley building downtown to a Winn Development company for $5 million.

Not included in the deal, however, is the nearly $20 million in outstanding debt owed by the building’s current owner, Rochwil Associates. The debt will stay with Rochwil, but the city does not expect payment, says Mayor Tom Richards.

The building will be converted to mixed use with retail, office space, and housing. The deal must be approved by City Council.

But Boyum’s tragic death inspired Eggers and several other area cyclists to start talking about staying safe on the roads. As interest grew, the approach shifted from a group discussion to a general meeting with presentations from speakers including MVP Health Care cycling team director Todd Scheske and Monroe County Sheriff Patrick O’Flynn. The meeting was last Thursday.

Cyclists have the legal right to ride on roads — with some exceptions, like expressways — but they are obligated to ride single file, to ride with traffic, and to obey traffic signals and stop signs.

Eggers says improving the road environment for cyclists may

come down to educating drivers, increasing awareness about the presence of cyclists on roads, and reminding cyclists to check their own behavior.

“You hope that people are going to listen to the message and change their behavior,” Eggers says.

Cyclists should also report experiences like being run off the road to law enforcement, she says.

Many cyclists may just brushoff the incident and go back to riding, Eggers says, but police do want to know when drivers behave dangerously toward cyclists.

A State Education Integrated Intervention Team, acting something like a state control board, will come to Rochester to work with school officials to develop and oversee a comprehensive district-wide improvement plan.

State to intervene in RCSD

Teacher evals revamped

The Rochester school district is one of 70 public school districts in New York flagged as a “Focus School District” by the State Education Department, an unfavorable designation given to low-performing districts. Twenty-two Rochester schools have been classified as “Focus Schools” and 30 are “Priority Schools,” designations under the FSD umbrella.

The new classifications are a result of the Obama administration’s revisions to the No Child Left Behind Act, and will mean greater oversight of Rochester’s schools, says Susan HasenauerCurtis, the district’s director of school innovation.

A State Education Integrated Intervention Team, acting something like a state control board, will come to Rochester to work with school officials to develop and oversee a comprehensive district-wide improvement plan.

“We have to take very specific steps toward improvement,” Hasenauer-Curtis says, explaining that the state will evaluate both the district as a whole and the Focus and Priority schools, she says.

Remedies range from developing plans to improve low-performing schools to closing problem schools.

The state announcement comes in the wake of diminished expectations for Rochester’s schools. The 2011 graduation rate of 49 percent could fall next year, said Superintendent Bolgen Vargas recently, as students grapple with new graduation requirements.

Focus Districts are persistently low performing that show no trend toward progress in English language arts and math, or low graduation rates for one or more special student groups. That refers to minority groups, lowincome students, English Susan Hasenauer-Curtis.

Districts are also classified as Focus Districts if they have multiple Priority Schools: schools with ELA and math scores falling into the lowest 5 percent statewide. Focus Schools, another classification, are those selected for intervention to improve student performance in specific areas.

The designations are particularly troubling because even the much-lauded School of the Arts and one of the district’s new schools, Integrated Arts and Technology, have been identified as Focus Schools in need of attention.

The state also recognizes high-performing schools, or Reward Schools, but none of Rochester’s schools earned the acknowledgement.

A handful of Rochester’s schools are described by the SED as in “Good Standing,” which means they’re meeting expectations.

DEVELOPMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

Industrial power play The former Kodak Park, now known as Eastman Business Park, is seen by local and state leaders as an economic development lynchpin for the Rochester region.

The 1,200-acre site is evolving from Kodak’s film and chemical manufacturing hub to a cluster of renewable energy and advanced manufacturing companies. And that, say local business and government leaders, is what will keep the former Kodak Park a productive center of industry.

But there’s a catch. One of the park’s key features, its dedicated power plant, needs to be upgraded in order to meet upcoming federal and state environmental requirements. Kodak, which owns the business park and the power plant, is going through bankruptcy proceedings and it’s not clear that the company will have the millions of dollars needed for the upgrades.

The scenario raises questions about who will, and who should fund the upgrades.

Government and economic development officials say they want the plant to keep operating, since it is an attractive feature for high-tech industries.

Local business and government officials cast the complex as a regional economic development asset that will have effects beyond the City of Rochester’s borders.

And it’s facing costs driven by government regulations. That’s a traditional argument for government involvement in an economic development project.

In a recent draft document, the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council says that “efforts to preserve and strengthen Eastman Business Park” remain the council’s top priority. It also says that preserving the complex’s internal utility systems — Eastman Business Park also has its own water system and other amenities — is essential.

The council has formed a workgroup focusing solely on issues pertaining to the park.

It’s significant that the council, a group of local business leaders and elected representatives, prioritizes the park.

These regional councils, established by Governor Andrew Cuomo’s administration, are supposed to drive state economic development efforts.

Kodak’s power plant consists of four coal-

powered boilers that can generate as much as 130 megawatts of power. To put that figure into perspective, a single megawatt can power hundreds of homes. The boilers also generate steam power, which business park tenants can use.

City

SEPTEMBER 5-11, 2012

Kodak plans to retire one of the boilers by the end of 2013, and another by the end of August 2017.

“There would be less capacity, but adequate capacity to serve anticipated needs,” Kodak spokesperson Christopher Veronda wrote in an e-mail. “The two boilers remaining are the largest.”

The remaining boilers would be upgraded to bring them into compliance. That means either repowering them with natural gas or installing new emissions controls.

The power plant will have to comply with three sets of upcoming state and federal standards, including those set under the Clean Air Act. Those standards regulate particle pollution, a chemical that contributes to ground-level ozone, and a chemical that contributes to acid rain.

Veronda says the cost to upgrade the Eastman Business Park power plant is uncertain because not all of the regulations are yet certain. At the end of August, a federal appeals court struck down an Environmental Protection Agency regulatory program for the three pollutants. The EPA can appeal the decision or develop a new regulatory plan, but either approach means uncertainty regarding future standards.

State economic development officials and

Kodak representatives are discussing the power plant. It’s one topic in broader talks about Eastman Business Park.

The state has also hired consultants — including environmental, legal, and engineering assistance — to address issues that could hinder the business park’s viability. Laura Magee, a spokesperson for Empire State Development, says the power plant is one of the issues under examination.

The Kodak and Empire State Development spokespeople offered few details, however, about those talks. Magee says that ESD and its partners are examining ways to work with the private sector and government to ensure the park’s stability.

When asked whether there are state programs or grants that could help finance the plant upgrades, Magee said in an e-mail that “ESD and its partners are examining its options now.”

Veronda gave a similar response to questions about whether Kodak has identified funding for the upgrades.

“Discussions are under way with a number of parties who all recognize the significance of Eastman Business Park to

the future well-being of the community,” he wrote in his e-mail.

The state Public Service Commission has filed a statement with the federal bankruptcy court handling Kodak’s case. The commission asserts that its regulatory control over the complex’s utilities is not pre-empted by bankruptcy laws. The commission regulates issues including transfers of ownership or control, decisions to end service, and rates.

In other words, the commission would have to sign off if Kodak decided to sell the plant or curtail service — although there’s no indication that Kodak plans to do either. The PSC filings also stress that the decision would have to consider the public interest, which would include the impact on the local economy.

“The scope of the review could include factors such as the creation or elimination of jobs, any potential increase or decrease in property tax revenue, and the overall wellbeing of the community,” the filing says.

Ultimately, the power plant is important

because of the types of businesses moving into Eastman Business Park.

Inexpensive, plentiful power is important for manufacturing operations; power costs are often cited by businesses as an impediment to operating in New York.

But the plant and its accompanying grid are also important from a technology-testing standpoint. The plant played a role in New York Battery and Energy Storage Technology Consortium’s decision to locate a battery commercialization center at the park. NYBEST plans to invest $20 million into the center in the first phase of development.

The plant, especially when combined with the complex’s grid, will allow battery developers to test utility-scale technology.

And if NY-BEST succeeds and becomes a hotbed of battery research and development work, that could mean jobs for Rochester.

The jobs and business potential are key reasons why there’s no doubt among many officials that the plant needs to be repowered.

ROCHESTER’S

underground JUSTICE SYSTEM JUSTICE | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Whenever Rochester Police Chief James Sheppard is asked to explain this year’s surge in violent crime, he answers that many of the city’s altercations are the result of “ongoing disputes.” It’s a response that some people find wanting — after all, couldn’t most shootings, stabbings, and assaults be attributed to a dispute of some kind? People don’t shoot each other because they’re getting along, right?

Sheppard’s explanation points to something deeper, however. The act of violence, the retaliation to that act, the unwillingness of witnesses to talk to police: it’s a closed system, but a system nonetheless.

And it’s incredibly difficult for outsiders, including the police, to penetrate that system — which could help explain why police have made so few arrests over the course of this violent year.

The parallel justice system functioning on the streets of Rochester is not effective and certainly not desirable, says Dominic Barter, director of training for the Brazilian Restorative Justice pilot projects. But people who distrust the traditional system view it City

SEPTEMBER 5-11, 2012

as the only option to achieve some measure of justice.

“There’s been a break in faith with the current justice system, which is important for all kinds of reasons,” Barter says. “If people start breaking away from the justice system, it reveals a larger split within society, and the giving up of hope that mainstream society will actually treat everybody as equal and take care of everyone.”

Barter pioneered a form of restorative justice called restorative circles, which brings together the people involved in and impacted by a conflict — including community members — to promote understanding, selfresponsibility, and action. The process ends when the parties reach agreement on how the offending party can heal the rift with the person directly injured and with the wider community, which has also been damaged by the act, Barter says.

Restorative circles and processes are used in schools, prisons, neighborhoods, and many other places, he says. Judges sometimes factorin offenders’ participation in a restorative

process when handing down their sentence, Barter says.

In Rochester, progressive activists, including those who served on the committee to revamp the process for filing complaints against the police, called for restorative practices to help deal with the violence plaguing the inner city. Awareness of restorative practices is growing locally, Barter says.

There are restorative programs at Monroe High School, Wilson Magnet, the University of Rochester, and the Rochester Police Department is doing a pilot program with young people in southwest Rochester.

“There is a lot of movement in Rochester in restorative practices — in schools, in the police department, in the courts,” says Janelle Duda, assistant director for the Center of Public Safety Initiatives at the Rochester

Institute of Technology. “This is absolutely the time for this.”

Rochester responded to the last two big spikes in violent crime with police

crackdowns. Zero Tolerance essentially flooded the city with cops. And Police Chief Sheppard says a big part of Operation Cool Down — the current initiative — is proactive policing. He’s unapologetic about stopping people for minor offenses —for not having a bell on your bicycle, for example — to try to get guns off the street.

Barter says he supports the intensity of the response, but he’s concerned about unequal enforcement. It’s a fear shared by many local activists and civil libertarians, as well as some community leaders.

“Are there other communities where people are not treated the same way?” Barter

says. “If there are, then even as you do justice, you’re creating an experience of injustice.

Why am I stopped for riding a bicycle without a bell in this neighborhood and not in that neighborhood?”

But blaming the police is too easy, he says, because law enforcement is empowered and sanctioned by the community it serves. And people need to understand that all conflict belongs to the community as a whole, Barter says, even if the conflict manifests between select members only.

“It’s not a shooting that happens in the Crescent, where I don’t live,” he says.

“It’s a shooting that happens in Rochester, where I live. So it’s mine. It’s my conflict. I have a responsibility in this thing that is happening.”

And that, he says, is the essence of restorative justice.

Barter says he knows there’s temptation

to dismiss restorative justice as a bleedingheart approach to criminal justice. But he says it’s actually a much more robust response than the traditional criminal justice system, because offenders must face up to their actions when they confront the people they hurt.

“We put the person who committed this act really on the spot,” Barter says. “They’re really exposed. Restorative justice is not the soft option.”

In Barter’s system — restorative circles — the offender and the victim meet in a location that’s significant to the community. Barter says the space should inspire respect and symbolically convey to the participants the importance of what’s about to take place. The participants also choose the other people they want to participate in the circle — people indirectly affected by what’s happened.

“They need that third member of the community, the invisible participant in every conflict,” Barter says. “They need those people to say, ‘Hey, it may work for you to carry on squabbling like this, but it doesn’t work for us. We need you to work this out.’

“That’s why it’s not bleeding heart,” he says, “because it’s actually initiated by community members who are dissatisfied, ironically, with the weakness of just locking someone up. A lot of people say, ‘I want him to be in the circle because I want him to feel real pain. The real pain is what happened to my life as a consequence of what he did. If he’s locked up, he never has to look at me.’”

The circle tries to get to the meaning behind what happened, Barter says. The victim gets to ask why, and the offender has

an opportunity to apologize — though that doesn’t always happen, Barter says.

“There’s a very big place for that kind of thing” in Rochester, says John Klofas, professor of criminal justice at RIT. “It fundamentally deals with the difficulty victims have when things are really sort of torn asunder. It really restores the victims, because they get a choice of an active role in this, and I think that’s very important.

And the person who commits these acts has to really confront their position in the community, the effect of what they’ve done on the community, and their role in the community moving forward.”

The circle ends when both parties agree on how the offender can make restitution. Duda, from the Center of Public Safety Initiatives, says the agreement can be something as simple as the offender agrees to pay to replace something he broke, or agrees to help clean up the mess he made.

“I think it’s a lot more difficult process for an offender to go through,” she says. “He’s directly told, ‘This is what you did, and this is what will make it right.’”

In the worst cases, offenders may never be able to do enough to physically compensate their victims, but the process does help victims heal and to regain some of the power they lost when they were victimized.

Duda and Klofas say that data on restorative

justice does not exist to the depth necessary to fairly evaluate the concept. But they say the research that does exist is promising.

A study commissioned by the British government showed that the more serious the act, the more effective restorative justice is, Barter says.

“Superficially you could say that means that a gang shooting in a community is

likely to produce a more cohesive, restorative process than petty theft because there’s more buy-in,” he says.

But that doesn’t tell the whole story, Barter says, recalling an incident at a school that used a restorative circle after one student snatched another’s pencil from her pencil case. It seems ridiculous to call a circle for such a minor thing, he says, until you learn that the pencil case was the student’s last gift from her now-deceased parents.

“So, is it still a pencil?” Barter says. “It’s not the act; it’s the symbolic value that act has. It’s the significance of what we do to each other, not actually what we do that really impacts our lives.”

The restorative processes used in Brazil have reduced offenders’ participation in prison rebellions, he says. And because of their cooperation in the process, the offenders are more likely to earn a place in the few education programs the prisons offer, Barter says.

RIT’s Klofas says having a restorative process available can introduce continuity into a young person’s life. Many small acts are either dismissed or ignored by the criminal justice system, he says, and the young person skates by sans consequences until his record builds up and then the hammer comes down. Having a restorative system means there’s consistency, Klofas says: action equals consequence.

Barter says those kinds of insults go right to a person’s pride and generally cannot go unanswered.

“What has been violated when someone looks at you funny?” he says.

“My dignity. My power. My authority.

My value to the community has been diminished by what you’ve done. That’s a nonnegotiable value.

“I agree with them. That’s an injustice.

And not responding to injustice is dangerous. It sends a message that no one counts, nothing matters. No community.

No social cohesion.”

Barter says he’s learned that one of the things victimhood is about is recovering power. People can’t stand feeling vulnerable and powerless to control their own wellbeing, he says.

“Suddenly I’m reminded that something can come in from left field and take away my ability to take care of myself,” Barter says. “There’s an immense sense of vulnerability, and there’s a corresponding energy to close that wound.”

Victimhood can occur as a sudden shock, he says, or as a gradual, creeping sense of disenfranchisement: there’s something about you that makes you less worthwhile than others in the community.

Restorative circles try to use that shock, that energy that goes into craving punishment and vengeance to create a change in behavior, Barter says.

“The change in behavior happens because empathy occurs,” he says.

“It might seem strange to think of vengeance as being an attempt to create empathy, but if you look at it in terms of proportional pain, that’s what it’s really about. ‘I want you to know how I feel,’ is what people often say as they are hurting others. ‘You’ll learn not to do that again,’ is something that people often say to justify violence imposed on other people.

‘I want you to get a taste of what it was like to be me.’”

Barter says he doesn’t see a victim’s thirst for vengeance as a bad thing, necessarily.

“I just want to dialogue with them about what will create that sense of what they’re calling closure,” he says. “That sense of changed behavior, the sense that this person lived to know what it felt like.

It’s very unusual that someone continues to believe that more pain is going to resolve pain.”

Dining Lunchbox fare doesn’t have to be humble, but

The pork tonkatsu bento box from Monroe Avenue’s Plum Garden is just one of the exotic box-lunch options available in Rochester. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

Pack your lunch [ ROUND-UP ] BY JAMES LEACH

In 1978, I was 8 years old, and I spent most of August pestering my mother for the one item that I was sure would make me happy: a “Star Wars” lunchbox. Instead I ended up with a “Land of the Lost” lunchbox with luridly colored scenes from the television show stamped into its lid. I did everything that 8-year-old ingenuity suggested to destroy it. I didn’t think much about why that hated lunchbox was so durable.

When I started spending summers with family in the coal belt of West Virginia I encountered the cheery lunchbox’s indestructible cousin, the dinner bucket. The heavy-duty aluminum container my uncle carried down into the mines was bulkier than mine, and the Thermos was either a separate thing made of steel or a flat plastic container full of Campbell’s chunky soup or Dinty Moore beef stew. The bucket had two trays nested one atop the other and locked together with clasps on either side. Roughly kidneyshaped, it could easily be clipped onto a work belt. When the bucket came home empty at the end of a shift it looked like it had been to hell and back – blackened with coal dust and dirt, often with a ding or a bright, new scratch in its surface.

The lunchbox – both the gaudy ones for school and the sober, durable ones for grown-ups -- are American icons. But Americans didn’t invent the lunchbox, or even perfect it. Wherever people work away from home, either in the factory or the field, they always devise ways of bringing lunch along with them. You can certainly brown bag it, or grab a sub or sandwich. But in the spirit of back-to-school season, here are some more exotic, ethnic takes on the to-go lunch that you can find around Rochester.

Lunch is a light meal, the province of

schoolkids and folks with leisure. Where I grew up, people called it dinner and it was the principal meal of the day – protein and starch-heavy, the sort of food to replenish you from a morning of hard work and sustain you for the rest of the afternoon.

At its simplest, lunch away from home looks like the English ploughman’s fare: meat, cheese, pickles, bread and ale. But if you come a bit up the ladder and try to include hot food you encounter the Chinese rice plate, heavily sauced, often salty leftover meat and vegetables in sauce served atop a substantial portion of steamed rice packed into a two-layer aluminum box called a fan ho.

it does have to be filling. In India, particularly in Mumbai, around lunchtime every day thousands of mostly-illiterate dabba-wallahs fan out across the cities picking up, delivering, and returning more than 200,000 tiffins – again, multilayered, multicompartment aluminum containers. Inside those tiffins are curries, rice or idly, vegetables, raita, naan, and the ubiquitous daal, each element in its own compartment.

Spread out on an elaborate plate, such a lunch is called thali, and it’s as much a way of eating as it is the plate on which it is served.

According to chef Shabber Chowdury at Amaya (1900 S. Clinton Ave., 241-3223, amayabarandgrill.com), which offers a bottomless thali lunch served on a giant brass plate that will make you feel like a Mughal lord.

Thali-style dining has its origins in concerns about the cross-contamination inevitable when everyone eats from a communal dish. Each diner is served a separate dish and then transfers this portion to the mound of rice at the center of his own plate. Served on a thali, such a lunch looks like a miniature feast. Served from a multilevel tiffin, it’s like a series of small presents or a box of chocolates for those who crave savory dishes and curries over sweets, a way of bringing home to the office.

The most refined lunchbox is also the most

You aren’t likely to find a fan ho in Rochester, but you can try out this typical Chinese lunch at Han Noodle (687 Monroe Ave., 242-7333, hannoodlebar.com).

According to co-owner Tony Ko, the rice plate served at his restaurant is pretty typical.

Compared to more refined Chinese dishes, it’s not pretty to look at, often not much more than a plate of beef with black-bean sauce with scallions or slices of stir-fried chicken, and carrots in a bright yellow curry sauce ladled on top of starchy rice. But it sure is filling.

Ko told me that in modern industrial cities in China, the rice plate now comes in styrofoam containers, picked up – often by contract – from a lunch truck that pulls up outside an office or factory, or even brought right to an employee’s desk. But before e-mail and text messaging made such coordinated food service possible, workers often brought their own carefully marked fan ho with them to work, dropping them off in communal kitchens in the morning where they would be stacked one atop the other in gigantic steamers and then picked up during the noon-time dinner break. Six hours after my most recent curry chicken rice plate, I was still going strong and had to be reminded by my family that they needed to eat.

familiar. Developed as a way of feeding spectators at kabuki dramas or sumo matches about 300 years ago, the bento box is a fixture on almost every Japanese restaurant menu.

Looking like a highly lacquered and decorated version of a school lunch tray, the bento box is an elegant lunchbox for a more civilized time. Pork tonkatsu (a breaded, fried pork chop) or pork sukiyaki (pork stir fried with scallions) are two of the many protein choices on offer at Plum Garden (3349 Monroe Ave., 381-8730), where chef Takamizu fills out the compartments in his bento boxes with bloodred tuna rolls, California rolls, a bit of pickled cucumber to add a savory element, a salad with ginger dressing, miso soup and steamed rice, to make a lunch that would sustain even the hungriest of samurai.

Fan Zhang, manager of Plum Garden, noted that her restaurant serves Shokado-style bento boxes, where rice is served on the side rather than as an integral part of the box. But Makunouchi bento – where the rice is usually served underneath the protein -- is the more popular lunchtime choice of those packing their own bento to take to work, picking one up to take back to the office, or sliding through a cafeteria line at school (bento is school lunch in Japan).

Chocolate shrapnel [ review ] by frank de blase

The Pro Jam is a well-oiled circus that sets up its tent at alternating venues each Tuesday night. Last week’s hang ’n’ bang was at Skylark Lounge before a full house.

The beauty of this jam is it truly jams musicians together that would never think to play with one another otherwise. The common denominator is a sort of funk/ soul comfort zone that is slowly eroding as jazz, blues, and rock cats get up, get down, and show out. I predict this thing is going to outgrow everywhere it goes.

Someday soon, when ape-like creatures with digital watches are rummaging through the artifacts and wreckage of our civilization, the music of Synthetica will serve as a fitting backdrop.

Synthetica is a blast of pearlesque dissonance, of controlled chaos, of understated beauty. I was moved. I parked in back of the Little Theatre Café Thursday night so I could inhale a brownie the size of my head without freaking out other patrons and hitting them with chocolate shrapnel, but also to listen to the band unencumbered by sight. In fact, I’ve opted for a black square in lieu of a photo for this week’s column so you can contemplate the visuals that the duo conjured for yourself.

Synthetica — made up of Eric the Taylor and Sonam — paint in wide sonic strokes from a collision of swirling electronica and analog punctuation.

Taylor manned the laptop and Sonam, in a sort of call and response, plugged in organic sounds and passages from an impressive arsenal that littered the floor like a Gypsy garage sale. Taylor’s wall of sound was as soothing as it was unnerving as it occasionally threatened to take off.

Sonam riffed, mixing a cast of tones and characters from recorders, conch shells, congas, cymbals, a busted accordion, and a trumpet. It had me dreaming of Bix Beiderbecke thumb-wrestling with Lenny Bruce in the Vatican as a chorus of swimsuit models sang Sophie Tucker tunes in pig Latin.

Alas, there were no vocals (none with words, anyway) so the pictures you saw in your head (if you had, ahem, shut up long enough to listen) were different from the placid Polaroids that this duo planted in mine. You might call this outfit weird and abstract, but by not adhering to conventional structures, Synthetica’s layers and passages conveyed some of the most beautiful sounds I’ve heard.

After a near-miss with record execs, Geneva/Waterloo musician Corey Bates returned east and founded rock band Cruelty Free. PHOTO BY FRANK DE BLASE

Let it be Cruelty Free w/The Meddling Kids Saturday, September 8 Lovin Cup, 300 Park Point 9 p.m. | $3-$5 | lovincup.com Crueltyfreemusic.com [ PROFILE ] By Frank De Blase

After years bumping around the music business, Cruelty Free’s Corey Bates doesn’t push it or try too hard anymore. He’s content to let go and let it be. Through career ups and downs on both coasts, the singer-guitarist no longer questions his intentions or those of his music.

“I used to say, ‘Am I over thinking this a bit?’” says Bates, before realizing that asking that the question answers the question. Some of this songwriter’s best material came from lean times and little forethought. That’s not to say Cruelty Free is mindless pop, but often a good song comes out of a relaxed effort.

The song “Alternate Lifestyle” helped put Cruelty Free on the map. After haphazardly hooking up with song-placement folks, “Alternate Lifestyle” caught the ears of the bigwigs in comedian Dane Cook’s camp, and they promptly licensed the song to go on Cook’s “Tourgasm” tour CD released by Rhino Records.

14 City SEPTEMBER 5-11, 2012

That’s quite a trip considering the how and where the song was conceived.

“So I was sleeping on my drummer’s floor,” Bates says. “And he lived out near the Santa Monica Mountains, which are really beautiful.

I had this green truck and all I really could afford to do was play my guitar and write.

At night I’d drive out to the Santa Monica Mountains and stay out there until like 1 a.m. and write with a flashlight and a guitar. One of the songs was ‘Alternate Lifestyle.’”

After a couple of near-misses with the majors

(Bates was in Neve when that band got signed to Columbia Records) and playing with just about everyone he could, Bates, who was originally from the Geneva/Waterloo area, came back east, which brings us to the Cruelty Free we know today, with bassist Brian Eberts and drummer Rob Bodley.

Though a lot of the songs that appear on the band’s “Collection” album have two guitars, lean times and lean tones have the band maxed out as a trio. But it totally works.

Bates’ guitar is thick and full of lush chords and energy. This is where the hooks are born.

And though Bates knows his way around the neck, he defers to the melody as well as the sub-strata support from Eberts and Bodley.

Once the trio put the effort into being effortless, it all flowed.

“We just said, You know, we’re a rock band,” Bates says. “We love rock, we just have to let it happen. Before it was, ‘What do I want this to do? What don’t I want it to do?’

Now we just let it happen. We just do it.”

Though pegging Cruelty Free a 90’s band would have chronological limitations and implications, it’s not entirely inaccurate. The decade itself didn’t finish what it set out to do, according to Bates.

“There’s a good argument that we’re coming back into [90’s music],” he says.

“Because we kind of went through a mini80’s…the glam thing, the shred thing… We just want to do the rock thing.”

In addition, Cruelty Free would like to do more of the touring thing. It already makes routine jaunts to New York City, as well as playing in Rochester and its fringes. But the push for more gigs is tempered by Bates’ relaxed attitude about the music.

“I think I had more sarcasm before,” he says. “I was raised in a religious home so I wrote a lot about being a recovering guilt addict. Now I’m really into songs that are just fun. I feel like everything’s getting lighter.”

And the rest of the band follows suit with this eased-up, more collaborative approach.

A new album is anticipated by the end of the year. “We just get in there and bang it out,” Bates says.

Admission: $5 • For $2 Discount, Present this Ad at the door.

FREE Admission with Student ID Onsite Raffle: Win Tickets to Mary Poppins courtesy of the RBTL For More Information: Rochesterbooksellers.wordpress.com or 585•325•2050 ELECTRONICA | Metric

Begin with Coldplay, remove Chris Martin, add Jenny Lewis sound-alike lead vocalist/keyboardist Emily Haines along with a bit of 80’s new wave, and you have a starting point for Canadian-American quartet Metric. Unless you’re from up north or deep into soundtracks, this could be one of the best groups you’ve never heard of. Metric’s latest CD, “Synthetica,” sounds like a product from a band in its prime that’s been on the verge of making the big time for years. Listen to the bombastic “Youth Without Youth” or the lovely “The Void” and you’ll hear why this group dominated the 2010 Juno Awards. A digital download of “Synthetica” is included with your ticket purchase. Half Moon Run opens the show.

Metric plays Thursday, September 6, 8 p.m. at Water Street Music Hall, 204 N Water St. $28-$30.

POP/SOFT ROCK | Barry Manilow

There’s death, taxes, and Barry Manilow. Manilow’s career has simply been decades of atmospheric success. In 1978, five of his albums were on the bestselling charts simultaneously. He has owned the Adult Contemporary charts for almost 40 years as a performer and producer, working with greats such as Bette Midler and Dionne Warwick, as well as writing songs for musicals, films, and TV commercials. He’s won two Emmys, three American Music Awards, a Tony, a Grammy, and was inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2002. He was the headliner at the Las Vegas Hilton for almost five years. He’s done it all. But now he is getting back to basics. Last summer’s “15 Minutes” marked the Brooklyn boy’s first release of original songs in more than 10 years. It debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Like I said: death, taxes, and Manilow.

DJ/ House | Robb G/Skanntron

If ever you wanted to get down on a boat, this is most certainly your time to do it. Sailing out of the Port of Rochester, RIPROC has taken over the Harbor Town Belle for this one night foray into maritime revelry. Prepare to take your own three-hour tour (hopefully no one as annoying as Gilligan will be onboard) and check out Toronto’s Robb G making the first stop promoting his new “Get Slayed!” EP before he goes north to do a crosscountry tour of Canada. He brings an eclectic mix of house and techno, and will likely dance harder than you just to set the bar. DJs Skanntron, Keto, and Mic See will also be there with a mix of dub and other highly danceable tracks to get the party started while people get the bar warmed up and sort out there sea legs from there dancing feet.

The party goes down Saturday, September 8, departing the Port of Rochester, 4699 Lake Ave., at 6:30 p.m. 6:30 p.m. | $20-$25, 18+. riprocboatcruise.com.

GARAGE ROCK | Turbo Fruits

Jonas Stein (guitars and vocals) formed this Nashville quartet while his other band, Be Your Own Pet, was slowly coming to an end. Stein, and an early incarnation of Turbo Fruits (which included Be Your Own Pet drummer John Eatherly) released its self-titled debut through Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace! record label in 2007.

When Be Your Own Pet dissolved few short months later, Stein put all of his effort into his new project, and over the next couple of years, released a second album, tinkering with the group’s line-up until it became the fearsome four-piece it is today. These silly Southerners blend punk, surf, and psychedelic power-pop into a musclebuilding supersonic smoothie that has impressed critics as well as fellow musicians. The Guardian likened the group’s sound to “Creedence Clearwater Revival played at hardcore punk tempos.”

Turbo Fruits perform Tuesday, September 11, 8 p.m. at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $8-$12. 454-2966, bugjar.com.

The Memorial Art Gallery is currently hosting “In Company with Angels,” a traveling exhibition of seven restored Tiffany windows. PHOTO PROVIDED

Guardians of the great and glorious “In Company with Angels” Through October 28 Memorial Art Gallery, 500 University Ave. 276-8900, mag.rochester.edu Wednesday-Sunday 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Thursday until 9 p.m. | $5-$12 [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

The shapes and scopes of our cities are constantly shifting around us, and at times, great losses occur with a callous lack of consideration toward preserving valuable aspects of art and history.

Transition is inevitable, and it’s often left to grass-roots groups to become the guardians of these potential casualties.

Such is the case with seven eight-foot-tall stained-glass windows depicting angels from the biblical Book of Revelation, created by the studio of American glass master Louis Comfort Tiffany. The windows were displaced from their original home in a Cincinnati church

in the 1960’s, lost in storage, re-found and restored, and are the fragile focus of the current exhibit at the Memorial Art Gallery. Though sacred in subject, this exhibition sheds light on the history of the specific windows and of stained glass in America, the technique and aesthetics involved with the medium, and restoration efforts.

Commissioned by the New Church Society, or Swedenborgians — a Christian sect developed from the writings of Swedish scientist and theologian Emanuel Swedenborg — the windows were presented to the Church of New Jerusalem in Cincinnati in 1903. Visitors to the exhibit learn that when the city of Cincinnati demolished the church in 1964 to make way for an expressway, parishioners stepped in and bought the windows back from the city for $50,000, and stored them in basements, garages, and sheds for almost 40 years. In 1989, a branch of the Swedenborgian Church purchased the works for a retreat center, which was never built, and the angels spent another

decade in storage until their rediscovery in 2001. The windows are now owned by a congregation in Pennsylvania.

Restoration efforts began in 2004 courtesy of an anonymous donation. The windows were relatively unharmed, so the process mainly involved removing the accumulated grime from more than 1,500 individual pieces of glass. It took seven restorers a year and a half to dismantle the pieces and layers, clean and repair them, and reassemble the windows. The exhibit includes a short documentary video that chronicles the restoration process.

The show also features a timeline regarding the history of the windows, beginning in 1688 with the birth of Emanuel Swedenborg, and highlighting the founding of the New Church by his followers, the creation of the windows by Tiffany Studios, and the loss, restoration, and touring of the windows. Also provided is information contextualizing the angelic subjects, who metaphorically represent seven early congregations in Asia Minor: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and

Laodicea, which were located in cities in what is now western Turkey.

Provided information states that in

the Book of Revelation, God praises each church “for a particular strength, warns each of a failing to overcome, and promises each a gift if it succeeds.”

Tiffany and his designers depicted the angels in tunics, robes, and Roman armor “to convey a sense of Biblical antiquity,” and each holds a physical symbol of the divine gifts. Etched inscriptions on the lower panels of each window name the angel and quote the promises from the verses.

Though enjoyed in the secular realm, stained glass was always a natural fit for depicting sacred imagery. The powerful light of day entering and illuminating a church without piercing glass served as a metaphor for some of God’s, ahem, grace, penetrating Mary’s womb while her, uh, purity remained, er, intact.

demand for American churches,” according to curatorial info, but an estimated 50 percent of Tiffany’s church windows have been lost, according to the curatorial information. Tiffany invented more than 5,000 varieties of glass colors, textures, and patterns, and developed techniques of layering several sheets, which resulted in “subtle gradations of luminous color and depth,” and pulling and twisting molten glass to created irregular folds to simulate fabric.

Viewers of the windows will encounter countless examples of Tiffany’s technical prowess, including the delicate faces of the angels, created by hand-applying brushed-on pigment. The imagery of the powerfully beautiful, mostly androgynous angels is stunning, graceful, and inspiring, 20 City september 5-11, 2012

displayed in the exhibit include such glass objects as a Roman perfume bottle and bowl, and Tiffany Studios candlesticks and vases. A short distance away, eight Tiffany lamps on loan from the collection of Jeffrey Metzger and Robin Hamilton show off a range of styles and techniques produced for the secular realm.

Another section of the exhibit sheds light on Pike Stained Glass Studios, Inc., a locally-owned 104year-old family firm whose founder worked for Tiffany. On loan from Pike are stunningly detailed watercolor renderings that reveal design stages for stained-glass windows, glass samples, and glass-making tools.

In a separate, darkened room, the warmly glowing windows are encased in tall wooden boxes, lit from within and standing freely in a semi-circle, positioned as they would be in the apse of a church. The sparse presentation allows for meditative study of Tiffany’s skillful detailing and techniques, which viewers learned about in the previous room.

A list of notable historic Swedenborgians includes Andrew Carnegie, George Inness, William Blake, Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Abraham Lincoln. Though not a Swedenborgian, Tiffany “shared the New Church belief that the natural world reveals traces of the spiritual,” per the provided statement.

Swedenborgians believe in a loving God who, according to curatorial info, “sets human beings on a path to spiritual perfection,” and that the human experience prepares us to live as angels, who continue to grow after leaving this life, and who also contribute to daily life on earth.

Swedenborg taught that “inwardly, a person is in company with angels, though unaware.”

A series of related lectures at MAG and tours of the exhibit, as well as of the Pike Glass studios and the Third Presbyterian Church, accompany this exhibit. For more information, visit mag.rochester. edu, and check out our calendar at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

SPECIAL EVENT | Festival of Food

It’s like Christmas for local foodies: the annual Festival of Food, put on by regional food pantry Foodlink, is back on Monday, September 10, 6-9 p.m.

Food and festivals go hand in hand in Rochester, but Festival of Food isn’t your average funnel cakes or kettle-corn stands. More than 100 area restaurants, farms, vineyards, breweries, bakeries, and specialty food purveyors will set up booths at the Public Market (280 N. Union St.). They’ll offer samples of their food and drink, and it’s basically a night of grazing and people gazing. I’ve had fantastic roast pork, pate, inventive ice-cream flavors, beautiful petit fours, and savory ravioli. These are some of the best food makers of Rochester all brought together for your sampling enjoyment. Who knows, you may find your new favorite restaurant.

Tickets to Festival of Food cost $40 in advance, or $50 at the door. Proceeds go to benefit Foodlink, a member organization of Feeding America that distributes more than 13 million pounds of food to 450 human service agencies.

Why does the world keep on turning?

“Angels in America Part II: Perestroika”

By Method Machine Through September 9 Geva Theatre Nextstage, 75 Woodbury Blvd.

Tickets start at $25 | 232-4382, gevatheatre.org [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK

Method Machine’s production of “Angels in America” — which it started earlier this year with the first part, “Millennium Approaches” — is the second staged version I’ve seen of Tony Kushner’s epic, Pulitzer Prize-winning drama. I originally saw it nearly a decade ago, put on by a company in Virginia that had built an entirely new theater in part so that it could pull off all of the play’s stunts and special effects.

For his version, Method Machine Director David Henderson made it clear from the getgo that he wasn’t even going to attempt the pyrotechnics. He was going to trust in the magic of the theater to bring to life a soaring angel, a roof cracking in half, fiery tomes, a diorama come to life, and the kingdom of heaven itself. Having seen both approaches, 24 City september 5-11, 2012

I found that all the visual frippery ended up distracting from the heavy emotional lifting being done on stage. By focusing on the play itself, and relying on the audience’s ability to be drawn into the magical realism of Kushner’s story, the Method Machine production succeeds much more often than not in living up to the ambitious goals of this important piece of 20th century theater.

“Perestroika” picks up right where “Millennium Approaches” left off — and if you didn’t see Part 1 back in the spring, get a recap before coming, because there’s no “Previously on ‘Angels in America’” clip package to ease you in, or a brief in the program to get you up to speed. (Note that Method Machine will present both parts of “Angels in America” on Sunday, September 9.) The year is 1986 and Prior Walter has recently been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and abandoned by his partner, Louis. In his fragile physical and emotional state, Prior is visited by an angel — an actual, honestto-you-know-what angel — who demands that he become a modern-day prophet and spread a very important message to humanity: stop progressing because people are screwing up everything.

As Prior wrestles literally and figuratively with angels, Louis finds comfort in

the arms of a closeted coworker, Joe, a Republican Mormon lawyer. Joe’s emerging homosexuality snaps his wife Harper’s already flimsy tether, sending her into an elaborate fantasy world, and has also spurred his mother, Hannah, to sell her home in Utah to move to New York to help her son. Also involved in the story are a fictionalized version of notorious lawyer Roy Cohn and Belize, a close friend of Prior’s and the nurse attending Roy as he dies from AIDS. As previously mentioned, this stripped-down

take on “Angels in America” (as stripped down as a 3.5-hour play can be, anyway) allows the audience to focus on the story, the acting, and the language. Regarding the latter, “Perestroika” isn’t as beautifully crafted as “Millennium Approaches,” which was polished into a gem. “Perestroika” still has some wonderful scenes and lines, but it’s unquestionably more indulgent and at times feels a bit scattered. The frequent scene changes add to the start-stop quality of the play, but there are sections that are absolutely riveting. The dual scene in which Prior gets his instructions from the Angel, while simultaneously recounting the experience to Belize, is flawlessly executed, and the final scenes with Roy Cohn and his spectral visitor

are genuinely moving despite the seemingly unsympathetic characters involved.

Almost the entire company from “Millennium Approaches” returns for Part II, with the exception of Erin-Kate Howard, who steps into the roles and robes of the Angel. Howard is magnificent in the role, intense, terrifying, yet beautiful, and she has mastered some very complicated dialogue, finding real emotional nuance in the promises of doom and destruction.

Other standouts in the cast include Carl Del Buono as Prior, who anchors the show with his totally believable, fully realized performance; David Jason Kyle, who makes the ostensibly unlikable Louis oddly charming and relatable; and Marcy J. Savastano as Harper, who finds hope and strength even as every piece of her falls apart.

Ironically, the show’s main weakness is when it tries to add the visual flair that director Henderson tried to avoid. Both parts of this “Angels” production attempted to deploy video projections at key points, and they never really worked. This time it was flapping angel wings and the glowing symbol meant to represent God that barely made an impression. This is a case where the director should have trusted his vision, the story, and the talented actors on stage, all of whom did a better job conveying Kushner’s concept of God than any projection ever could.

Leaving the show, a friend and I discussed the continued relevance of the play — very much set in the 1980’s, and inextricably linked with the AIDS epidemic — in the 21st century. While it’s true that, for many, the disease is no longer the death sentence it once was, AIDS still continues to devastate millions of people worldwide. And it only takes a look at the Republican Party’s current platform to confirm that Prior’s line toward the end — about being “citizens” — is still as crucial today as it was 20 years ago. It’s too narrow to think about “Angels in America” as a play about AIDS, or gay people, or even religion. It’s so much bigger than that. The idea of “progress,” about what it is and what it does and where we’re going, will always be important for humanity to consider, to say nothing of trying to figure out why we do the things we do to people we supposedly love. Every time I see or read “Angels in America” I get something new from it; it’s like an American version of “Don Quixote.” Method Machine’s production uncovered even more layers of an already complicated portrait, and it’s something that should be seen and appreciated.

Although it has been around since 2008, this year the Rohrbach’s Ellison Park Cyclocross Race will expand to cover two days of bike racing and beer in Rochester’s Ellison Park (off Blossom Road) on Saturday and Sunday, September 8-9.

Cyclocross combines road cycling and mountain biking. Cyclists compete on 1.5- to 2-mile circuits that include obstacles that may require the rider to dismount to continue. This event — the first stop on this year’s International Cycling Union international race calendar — will feature men and women racers coming from across the globe. Professionals will take to the course each afternoon, while amateurs have a go in the morning.

In addition to the racing, food will be available from Good Smoke BBQ, beers from local breweries Rohrbach’s, ROC Brewing, and Genesee Brewery, and there will be children’s activities available.

Spectators can watch the event for free, and a shuttle bus will run noon-5 p.m. both days taking people from the parking lot on Blossom to the race site on North Landing Road. For more information visit ellisoncyclocross.com. — BY ERIC REZSNYAK

“Killer Joe” (NC-17), directed by William Friedkin Now playing

Though the dreaded NC-17 rating usually frightens producers and directors, it apparently didn’t deter William Friedkin, whose work includes not only such classics as “The Exorcist” and “The French Connection,” but also the daring and highly unpopular “Cruising.” His new film, “Killer Joe,” most likely earned its rating not for the usual causes, i.e., excessive and graphic sexual content — though it also features a fair share of that particular element

— but for its terrific violence (and these ratings people call themselves Americans!).

Initially the movie, based on a play by Tracy Letts, looks like a parody of those horror flicks of the sort that employ a rural locale and perverted rustics. It opens in one of those ferocious Southwestern thunderstorms, where a young guy races through the rain to, yes, a trailer park, where he pounds frantically on the door of one of the homes, until a sexy woman, naked from the waist down, lets him in, whereupon they scream about her nudity. The young man is Chris Smith (Emile Hirsch) and the woman is his stepmother, Sharla (Gina Gershon); their quarrel awakens his father, Ansel (Thomas Haden Church), beginning another sort of parody, a grotesque Texas version of a family situation comedy.

Chris’s desperation stems from a $6,000 debt he owes a drug dealer, which he plans to repay by joining with Ansel in murdering his mother, Ansel’s exwife whom everybody hates, for her $50,000 life insurance policy. After some persuasion, Ansel,

who is even dumber than Chris, and the greedy Sharla agree to go along with the scheme. To do the job, Chris knows of a Dallas detective named Joe Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), the Killer Joe of the title, who does a sideline in contract hits.

Once McConaughey enters the action the whole movie belongs to Killer Joe, one of the most unsettling bad guys in recent cinema.

Dressed in black, wearing a Stetson, shod in ostrich-leather cowboy boots — it is Texas, after all — he moves slowly and carefully, speaking with a soft, precise deliberation. He exudes an intimidating air of absolutely calm and confident menace that contrasts wonderfully with the dim confusion of his would-be employers.

When the Smiths explain that they cannot come up with the advance he requires, he asks for Ansel’s nubile, slow-witted daughter Dotty as a “retainer.” Despite some minimal qualms, Ansel agrees to pimp his daughter in to pay for the killing of her mother. The seduction scene that follows this decision reveals the strangely perverse nature of Killer Joe, a mixture of sick carnality with a kind of weirdly romantic eroticism.

Unsurprisingly, the ostensibly simple, straightforward assignment goes horribly wrong in complicated ways for a variety of reasons, most of them deriving from some greedy, stupid people outsmarting themselves.

The working out of the scheme also involves a good deal of pure brutality, with a couple of

terrible beatings and a particularly bizarre and bloody climactic sequence that looks a lot like some low-rent version of a Shakespeare play.

The stylized conflicts of the average blockbuster, with people throwing each other all over the scenery, thanks to the magic of special effects, in no way resemble the very real, very bloody business of one character viciously beating another into insensibility.

Aside from McConaughey’s performance, the rest of the cast generally behaves with conviction, often displaying an exaggeration that intensifies his understatement. With his large, clumsy physique and his slow, heavy voice, Thomas Haden Church portrays stupidity perhaps better than any current Hollywood actor, though why a sexpot like Gina Gershon’s Sharla would marry him remains a mystery. Appearing in more scenes than any of the other actors and actually exhibiting an ounce or two of nobility, Emile Hirsch’s increasingly hysterical Chris soon, however, grows tiresome and repetitive.

Except for the numerous scenes set inside Ansel’s trailer, “Killer Joe” seldom displays the stagey, enclosed look of so many filmed plays.

It employs a number of other settings, all of them in thematic tune with the trailer park and its grubby, sordid, sometimes criminal context — closed-up shops, strip joints, biker bars, abandoned factories. This is not the mythic movie Texas of the open range and the limitless horizon, but, like it or not, the Texas of today.

Greentopia’s second year finds the sustainability celebration expanding to include a full-blown film festival. Under the care of Linda Moroney, festival director by day and documentarian by night, Greentopia | FILM features four nights of primarily nonfiction films, all focusing on various aspects of the increasingly crucial need for us earthlings to reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink.

Kicking off Tuesday, September 11, with the “Short Courses” program at Good Luck (50 Anderson Ave.), Greentopia | FILM will go on to present more than a dozen short films and feature-length documentaries at various locations, including Forest Cinema, the Classical Revival building at 35 State Street that’s been repurposed for use as a screening venue. Read on for a look at a handful of films, then visit greentopiafestival.com for more information.

of the past during our lifetimes. Shot in Palau, Vancouver Island, Mexico, The Bahamas, and French Polynesia, the vivid 3D spectacular takes us on a tour of the planet’s coral reefs, likening the ecosystems to bustling little cities where different species all find a way to live in harmony with the reef, a living thing in itself. But our storied carelessness with the environment is causing the reefs to vanish five times faster than the rain forests.

The good news? They’re resilient. Man’s job? Get it together already. (Wednesday, September 12, 6 p.m., Tinseltown) Detroit’s reputation as a punchline to jokes about awful places can’t mask the serious facts: In the last 80 years Detroit has gone from the world’s fastest-growing city to the fastest-shrinking city in America, with the one-time Motor City losing 30 percent of its manufacturing jobs in the past decade.

The unfocused but beautifully shot elegy “Detropia” views the decline of Detroit through the eyes of residents fiercely proud of their home but unable to stop the slide. Even Detroit’s leadership seems shellshocked as they cut necessary services like bus lines, potentially preventing the city’s employed from getting to work.

Young people are snapping up discounted space, but the influx may be too late to save this once-great city. (Wednesday, September 12, 6 p.m.; and Thursday, September 13, 8 p.m., Little Theatre) The scene that unfolds in the absorbing fly-on-the-wall documentary “The Waiting Room” is one that plays out all over the country, as people cool their heels for hours waiting for medical attention. This particular snapshot is in Oakland, where we see a young girl bravely cope with the pain of a throat infection and we watch as a teenage gunshot victim succumbs to his wounds. Yes, it’s an emergency department, but these are not always emergencies; “The Waiting Room” is teeming with the

uninsured, a largely minority population of those without preventive health care.

We also meet the tireless caregivers, their dedication embodied by Cynthia Thompson, a no-nonsense spitfire in pink paisley glasses and durable lipstick. She’s a star, and, more importantly, a hero.

(Wednesday, September 12, 6:15 p.m., Nazareth; and Friday, September 14, 7 p.m., Little Theatre) To hear Tony Geraci recount a school-age kid’s first encounter with a real peach is less heartbreaking than it is mindblowing.

Geraci is the inspiring “Cafeteria Man,” the former food superintendent of Baltimore City Schools, where he launched a crusade to revamp the lunch program from pizza and meatloaf to include farmfresh ingredients, even incorporating an education aspect to show his young clients that real food doesn’t come from a factory.

And despite what should be a slam-dunk of a mission, Geraci comes up against the usual bureaucratic red tape and naysayers.

The children and their parents couldn’t be happier; the adults, Geraci admits, are “the hardest part of my job.” (Wednesday, September 12, 6:45 p.m.)

The recipient of Greentopia | FILM’s first Fork in the Road Award is “Bidder 70,” a moving testament to one person’s commitment to change. It tells the story of Tim DeChristopher, whose attendance at a 2008 Bureau of Land Management auction ended in a courageous act of civil disobedience in an effort to save a chunk of Utah wilderness from oil exploration.

We get to know DeChristopher during a prolonged legal process that saw the auction effectively nullified by the Department of the Interior, and we watch other activists doing their peacefully disruptive part to preserve the environment, in the words of Dr. King, “openly, lovingly, and with a willingness to accept the penalty.” (Friday, September 14, 6:45 p.m., Forest Cinema)

Highlights include cameos by Sam Kinison, Robert Downey Jr., and the late literary legend Kurt Vonnegut. (Alan Metter, US 1986, 96 min.)

Set back from Highland Avenue on the edge of the City, this lovely Ranch home is a rare mid-century find in a city that’s filled mostly with American Foursquares, Queen Annes, and a few Craftsman Bungalows. 2180 Highland Avenue offers a perfect package for anyone looking for single floor living, a suburban size yard and a convenient location.

Complemented by a large front lawn, mature trees, and attractive landscaping, the property has great curb appeal. Once inside, one immediately appreciates the livability and comfort of the home, as well as the easy flow of space created by the semi-open floor plan.

The wide central entry features a coat closet, new tile floor and opens to the private living spaces (the bedrooms and bath) on one side and the public living spaces (kitchen, dining room, living room) on the other. From the tiled entry, original hardwood floors spread to the rest of the home.

The focal point of the spacious living room is a floor-to-ceiling stone-faced fireplace—a classic mid-century touch. Built-in bookcases flank the fireplace. A large picture window—a prerequisite in any Ranch home—lets in loads of natural light, making the space feel even more open. Situated at the front of the house, the living room flows directly into an open pantry area (with countertop and leaded glass cabinets) and the dining room.

This room too blurs the division between indoors and out with a pair of French doors

that open to a large, fully fenced backyard, complete with a lovely cedar deck and a fabulous cedar hot tub.

Off the dining room is the spacious eatin kitchen, which provides access to the basement (plenty of storage space), a pantry, a convenient powder room, and a side entrance.

The side entrance opens to a breezeway that connects the house to the two-car garage.

At the other end of the house is a linen closet, an updated full bath and three bedrooms, each with a decent-sized closet and two windows.

In addition to the house’s charm and livability, the property’s location can’t be beat. Highland Ave. provides easy access to both I-490 and I-590, as well as downtown or Brighton’s Twelve Corners. Just minutes away by car, nearby city amenities include Cobbs Hill Park, the North Winton Village, East Avenue, and the Upper Monroe neighborhood.

Listed at $149,900 with approximately 1200 square feet, 2180 Highland Avenue is a comfortable and inviting home, perfect for a young family or retirees looking to downsize.

Fun [ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD In August, the federal Drug Enforcement Administration dropped all charges against a doctor who has been at the center of a prescription-drug fraud case because, said prosecutors, they have too much evidence against him and not enough space to store it. The U.S. attorney in northern Iowa said her office needs to clear out the 400,000 paper documents and two terabytes of electronic data (the latter of which under current technology takes up little space but in DEA’s antiquated computer system hogs 5 percent of the agency’s worldwide electronic storage). The accused, Dr. Armando Angulo, has lived since 2004 in Panama, which will not extradite him. (He remains under indictment on state charges in Florida.)

The Litigious Society

— If Megan Duskey’s parents had been with her that night in 2010, they perhaps would have insisted she (dressed as the comic book hero Silver Spectre) not try to slide down the railing during the Halloweenthemed ball at Chicago’s Palmer House Hilton hotel, but she did slide down, and she fell four floors to her death. Nonetheless, in July 2012, the parents filed a $500,000 lawsuit against Hilton and other entities, claiming that the death of Ms. Duskey at age 23 was the hotel’s and the sponsors’ fault.

— In July, a California appeals court reinstated police officer Enrique Chavez’s lawsuit against the Austrian gun manufacturer Glock for its “unsafe” design. Chavez is now paralyzed from the waist down because his 3-year-old son got hold of the gun and accidentally fired it, hitting his dad.

Chavez, in violation of police policies, had left the gun loaded underneath the front seat of his car, and his son, whom Chavez had not belted into a child seat, was free to explore while Dad drove. The gun is regarded as of safe design by dozens, if not hundreds, of police departments, and the LAPD disciplined Chavez over the incident.

Democracy in Action

— Didier Peleman, 41, is a major-party candidate for the city council in Ghent, Belgium, and, like most, has champions and detractors. Though he has been active in “community work” for 11 years, Peleman is candid about a mental disability that noticeably slows down his speaking and writing and which some voters fear impedes his reasoning ability. His Flemish Christian Democrats Party said it is important that people with disabilities challenge constraints.

— A July battle in the House of Representatives pitted austerity-driven members striving to cut $72 million in spending on NASCAR against North Carolina House members determined to keep the money in. (Most NASCAR teams are headquartered in the state, as is the Charlotte Motor Speedway and the NASCAR Hall of Fame.) More than a third of the money would go to the National Guard for sponsoring driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. The North Carolina legislators believe military recruitment will suffer unless the race-car connection is maintained.

Perspective

Problems of the First World: Third World teenagers often must deal with conscription, sweatshop labor and life as street beggars, but in affluent New York City (according to a June report in The New York Times), a major anxiety of teen and almost-teen girls is having to endure sleepaway summer camp with hairy legs. Said celebrity makeup designer Bobbi Brown, “If she’s going to be in a bunk with all these girls,” and “insecure” about lip or leg hair, “You do whatever you can do to make her feel good.” (Seemingly drawing on the Times story, Uni K Waxing of New York City announced a July-only special -- with girls 15 and under receiving a 50 percent discount on bikini-waxing.)

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 36 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Have fun with friends, and love will develop with someone you meet along the way. Everyone wants to be with someone who is fun to be with. A makeover or new image will attract attention you haven’t been getting recently.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What you believe in and the community you belong to will make a difference to the partner you attract.

Let your intelligence, morals and ethics lead the way to a solid, loving and long-lasting relationship.

Tradition and cultural acceptance will count when it comes to love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

Don’t expect too much from others when it comes to personal relationships. Take your time and get to know whomever you meet before you take a leap of faith and decide to venture into an intimate encounter.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t limit the possibilities when it comes to love and romance.

Nothing is perfect, and to reject someone for trivial reasons will lead to loneliness. Consider the good qualities that are being offered by someone, and rethink what’s important to you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t be too quick to share your feel-

ings. Be reserved — especially dealing with affairs of the heart.

Your adaptability will attract all sorts of partners, but not all will demonstrate a true picture of background, likes, dislikes or status. Proceed with caution.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Put your heart on the line. Give a detailed description of what you are looking for in a partner; either a dating service or someone you know will introduce you to a near-perfect partner. Love is on the rise, and lifestyle changes are on the way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t give out too much personal

information. Listen and observe, making sure you have an interest in someone before you divulge what you want and who you are.

Unsuitable partners will mimic what you like and dislike, giving you a false sense of hope.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A passionate approach will bring an affectionate response. Show your versatility and creativity, and you will attract someone eager to discover a way of life that is unique to you and the partners you choose.

Good fortune and a great relationship are within reach.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t let love cost you. You don’t

have to prove anything to anyone.

Keep what you have to offer simple and truthful. As soon as you try to be someone you are not, you will face criticism and rejection. Be who you are, and you’ll attract the right person.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ve got all the bases covered when it comes to love, romance and making a commitment. Lay out your plans for the future, and you will attract someone as practical and eager to reach similar goals as you. You’ll be able to embrace new responsibilities together.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Don’t invite trouble. Keep your thoughts and feelings a secret until you feel comfortable sharing with someone who may be a match for you. Your strength will come through your observance and individuality, not your vulnerability. Play it safe romantically, and you won’t be sorry.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Express your desires when it comes to love. Find out where you stand before you move forward with someone who is unsure or not right for you. Love is waiting for you. Look for someone who has similar interests and goals, and you will share a special union.
