City’s ‘shallow’ endorsements

From the disturbing and distasteful cover page to the simplistic, shallow, and misinformed analysis of school board candidates, City Newspaper’s endorsements issue (August 31) was frightening.

City chose to focus on the “behaviors” of Community Education Task Force candidates Mary Adams, Howard Eagle, and Wallace Smith — as opposed to thoughtful and informed analysis of their platform. The guiding principles set forth by the CETF came out of a long and laborious effort to combine the best educational practices nationwide with the needs of the Rochester community.

City simplistically dismissed what they call the CETF slate’s “almost ideological approach to school reform” — sloppy journalism at best that says absolutely nothing.

Ideology is what grounds any organization — including school systems, and is necessary to producing change.

City wrote that “the issues they [the CETF] are talking about are deadly serious.” Yet according to City, rather than producing deadly serious change, “keeping the peace” seems to be the most important issue in school board elections — a practice that has never amounted to anything more than continued dismissal and/or marginalization of those committed to bringing about real change; a practice that has always guaranteed the preservation of the status quo.

The grave danger in this is much more ominous than the possibility of confrontational politics.

City

The deadly serious issue of massive failure for large numbers of children is extreme, and “radical reform” (as City characterized the CETF slate’s vision) is the only hope. Clearly City writers know little about education, education policies, and collaborative community efforts — or they would not separate what they tabbed the “righteous anger” of CETF candidates from the hard work that the CETF has done in attempting to create workable solutions; in reaching out to the community, the Rochester Teachers Association, the business community, etc. City’s double-speak is journalistically careless and very dangerous — paying lip service as to what people “should” be angry about, coupled with blatant attempts to preserve the status quo via their endorsements.

Hopefully, all voting citizens, business leaders, and all others concerned about our youth will look beyond City’s slanted and close to libelous characterizations of the CETF candidates and truly examine their ideas, visions, hard work and commitment to change.

This is about the LIVES of CHILDREN — who continue to look to adults for guidance, stability, and opportunity to be successful. Either we will accept the responsibility of doing what is necessary to create that for them or we can continue to fail them and deal with the consequences of their growing lack of faith in all of us.

From our website

Our endorsements last week brought responses from some of the candidates we did not endorse, as well as from their supporters. We’re including excerpts from those comments here, and we encourage readers to read the full responses on our website, rochestercitynewspaper.com/news/opinion.

I guess that I should be more offended by journalists insult-

SEPTEMBER 7-13, 2011

ing my understanding of social science issues, but quite frankly, we don’t have the time or energy for hurt feelings.

People in the city are suffering, struggling, and barely getting by. If our leaders valued city residents as much as they value attracting suburban residents into the city, then the retail climate of the city would resemble or exceed the speed of growth on Jefferson Road.

Secondly, we all have been “concerned” about community-police relations, but what has been the outcome of all of this concern? Black men in my family, my husband, three grown sons, my brother, a whole host of male cousins, my neighbor and his sons, and Black male voters, whose doors I have knocked all have one version or another of how they have been, in their judgment, racially profiled.

The formation of another high profile commission is not going to address the root causes of racial profiling and we should not attempt to deceive a community desperate for ANY sign of action.

DIANE WATKINS, ROCHESTER

Watkins is running for the Democratic nomination for the South District City Council seat, opposing incumbent Adam McFadden.

Particularly upsetting was your condescending rejection of Diane Watkins.

Your piece portrayed her as naive at best, stupid at worst. She is neither. Diane is a dynamic, tremendously energetic, astute, reflective woman who would bring a much-needed fresh perspective to City Council.

And she fights her fights without resorting to the other qualities you find so threatening. She has taught about government for years and is also active in the Democratic Party and was a delegate to the last national convention. I would venture to guess that none of the incumbents were especially savvy about the positions they hold before they were elected either. So please, stop complaining about the state of things or

support people who really can bring about change.

PAT MANNIX

It is unfortunate that an ostensibly progressive alternative newspaper increasingly sees its role as one of whitewashing an oligarchy, which City Council currently epitomizes, which is insular, arrogant, and incompetent.

You call me antagonistic toward the Democratic Party, without evidence, which I find offensive in light of my 35-plus years of volunteer service to the party. At the same time, not a word is reported here of numerous abuses of fair play and common decency in our party committees’ designating process. The committees engaged in the absurd practice of designating candidates prior to completion of reapportionment, which many northwest committee members strongly objected to.

TOM BRENNAN, ROCHESTER

Brennan is running for the Democratic nomination for the Northwest District City Council seat, opposing incumbent Carla Palumbo.

It is time for some fresh ideas and leadership on the school board, especially given the fiasco that occurred under Jean-Claude Brizard, which these board members rubber-stamped the whole way through. Allen Williams is dedicated and intelligent. He has been a voice of reason on the board and has only served one term. Howard Eagle, however passionate (not volatile) about his views, actually has worked in education and understands the nuance of the profession and is an extremely intelligent man who doesn’t speak out of both sides of his mouth like some aspiring politician.

It is time for new leadership, and it is too bad that you fail to see that and have chosen to stick with members of a board that have accomplished so little over such a long time.

ALOYSIUS

I find it deeply ironic that the same newspaper that strongly pushed for scrapping the entire school board and replacing it with mayoral control is now basing its endorsements largely on avoiding “new volatility on the board.”

If you believe that the school system has been going in the right direction these last two years (or the last 200 years for that matter), then I guess you should vote for incumbents. I believe that anything less than fundamental change represents injustice to the children and parents of Rochester, so I will be voting for Mary Adams, Howard Eagle, and Wallace Smith. I encourage everyone to listen to the all of the candidates interviews on WXXI and decide for yourself who is truly committed to moving the school district in a new direction: BEN DEAN-KAWAMURA, ROCHESTER

A solid endorsement is Mary Adams, a mother; Ernest Flagler, a father; Howard Eagle, a father and former teacher; and Allen Williams, a father and financial expert. This district needs parents whose children are or have been through this school district. Because parents know what’s going on in the schools, they would be able to create policies that would work. My number one choice will be Ernest.

He came to my house (off South Goodman). We had a great conversation, and he is good. His plan to revise the safety policy was right on point. I was able to relate to him, because I have two kids in the district and he has eight.

Wow. God bless the man.

Parents will support this guy if he keeps going door to door. Shame on City paper for not endorsing a true Black male role model and father.

9/11 and our great loss It has been nearly 10 years since that beautiful election-day morning in September, when the unimaginable happened in Manhattan, Washington, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The pain is still raw, and the grief still close to the surface. And it takes almost nothing to bring back the mental images: the towers struck, falling, people running….

We lost nearly 3000 people in the attacks: wives, husbands, parents, friends, co-workers, firefighters, police officers. But in the terrible years since, we have lost much more: lives, money, focus. Civil liberties. Religious and cultural tolerance. A national sense of unity and purpose. A chance for a reasoned discussion of how we should respond to the threat of terrorism.

Fear has moved us to a point where we now actually debate whether we should torture prisoners. Fear paved the way for conservatives to tighten the screws on the nation’s finances, exploding the demand for military spending, making it almost impossible — unpatriotic — to oppose that spending, and forcing even progressives to insist that the nation reduce crucial domestic funding.

“Ten years after the attacks on the twin towers and the Pentagon,” American Prospect’s editors wrote in their commemorative issue, “the United States is in bad shape, but our problems have little to do with what al-Qaeda did to us.

America’s troubles stem from what the country has done to itself — or rather, from what our political leaders have done with the nation’s power and resources.”

And maybe our greatest loss is that we have given in to our baser instincts, embracing war and violence as a rational response to terrorist threats.

America, said a Washington Post report on Sunday, is now in “an era of endless war.” According to a Pentagon assessment, the world has entered a period of “persistent conflict,” wrote the Post’s Greg Jaffe. The CIA “is increasingly shifting its focus from gathering intelligence to targeting and killing terrorists,” said Jaffe.

And peace, wrote Jaffe, “has become something of a dirty word in Washington foreign-policy circles.” So much so that this year the House of Representatives voted to eliminate funding for the US Institute of Peace. “Although the money was eventually restored,” said Jaffe, “the institute’s leadership remains convinced that the word ‘peace’ in its name was partially to blame for its woes.”

In the days following September 11, the nation and its elected leaders had choices.

We have had choices since. And we have

In the days following September 11, the nation and its elected leaders had choices. And we have choices now.” choices now as we head into yet another election campaign. What do we want to be?

What we do we stand for?

“Every nation that has been subjected to great harm is faced with a fundamental series of questions that probe its deepest values,” Ariel Dorfman wrote in his “Epitaph for Another September 11” in the current Nation. “How to pursue justice for the dead and reparation for the living? Can the balance of a broken world be restored by giving in to the understandable thirst for revenge against our enemies? Are we not in danger of becoming like them, in danger of turning into their perverse shadow — do we not risk being governed by our rage?”

September 11, Dorfman reminds us, is important for more than the 2001 attacks on the United States. It was on September 11, 1973, that a military coup overthrew the democratically elected president of Chile, Salvador Allende. And it was on September 11, 1906, that Mohandas Gandhi gave his first speech urging nonviolent resistance.

“I would hope,” wrote Dorfman, “that the right epitaph for all those September 11’s would be the everlasting words of Gandhi: ‘Violence will prevail over violence, only when someone can prove to me that darkness can be dispelled by darkness.’”

Is Dorfman naïve? A lot of people will think so. Violence seems to be the default position of American policy and American culture. But we do have choices. And there is more than one way to deal with terrorism.

We have not had that discussion. Now there seems to be no hope that we ever will.

[ news from the week past ]

Good probe results

The results of two internal investigations related to the arrest of activist Emily Good were announced by Rochester Police Chief James Sheppard and Mayor Tom Richards. Good should not have been arrested, Sheppard said, and tickets issued to Good supporters at a rally were technically legal, but not in the spirit of policing as he sees it. The tickets have been voided. Good was arrested and hit with an obstruction charge while video recording a police traffic stop in May. The charge against her was later dropped.

Fracking report due out this week

Hurricane Irene caused the State Department of Environmental Conservation to delay release of its completed draft environment statement on highvolume hydraulic fracturing. The DEC will release the document this week, though as of press time it hadn’t announced a date. The agency will also announce the length of the public comment period.

RGRTA announces new chief

Bill Carpenter, Monroe County’s former budget director, has been named

CEO of the Rochester Genesee Regional Transportation Authority. The RGRTA chose Carpenter from a field of four finalists, whittled down from 40 initial prospects.

Carpenter’s appointment is effective on October 1, the same day current CEO Mark Aesch steps down.

MVP rate increases?

The area’s second-largest health insurer, MVP Health Care, wants to increase premiums by 8 to 17 percent. The company cites rising medical and drug costs, and a decline in health in the general population. The State Department of Insurance must approve the proposed rate increases.

Job growth flat

The US economy showed no job growth in August, and the unemployment rate remained at 9.1 percent. The stagnant job growth follows a gain of 85,000 jobs in July, according to the Labor Department. Numerous surveys show that US companies are not laying off workers in large numbers, but they are not hiring, either. And the deficit debate in Congress has damaged both business and consumer confidence, some analysts say.

Neighbors divided over School 28 plans Some residents have circulated a petition opposing the renovations planned for School 28 at 450 Humboldt Street. The petition is signed by 131 residents in the North Winton Village neighborhood and has been given to members of City Council and the city school board.

The residents object mainly to the school’s expansion, which will add more than 150 students. They say the expansion could adversely affect their neighborhood.

Twelve city schools will get renovations in the first phase of the $1-billion renovation project,

with about $25 million going to School 28. The elementary school was chosen partly because it needs asbestos abatement. But School 28 is also being reconfigured to add seventh and eighth grades.

Changing to a K-8 school is the crux of the problem, says Mary Miskell, a long-time North Winton resident and retired RCSD librarian.

Miskell and her neighbor, Tala Hopkins, question the rationale behind the K-8 approach, and also favor neighborhood schools. After the expansion, fewer than 100 students at 28 will come from the

neighborhood, and about 700 will be bused from other neighborhoods.

But not everyone agrees with Miskell and Hopkins. North Winton resident Jessica Toner supports the expansion and says some people just don’t want to see the school change.

“I am more connected to younger families,” Toner says. “I just think it’s unreasonable to put an end to a project that is state funded. It’s a great opportunity. I think there are more people who want the project to continue.”

Strengths and opportunities often overlapped and seized on some of the established growth areas in the Rochester region: health care, research and development work at local universities, high-tech startups, advanced manufacturing, and tourism.

Economic development déjà vu Governor Andrew Cuomo’s regional councils are a new approach to economic development in New York, but locally they seem to be raising the same old ideas.

That was on display last week when the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council held a public input session. The council, like the other nine across the state, has been tasked by Cuomo with assembling a strategic plan for economic development. The Finger Lakes council is competing with the other councils for state capital grants and tax incentives.

The crowd at last week’s session at Monroe Community College was asked to come up with lists of strengths, opportunities, and obstacles facing the region. Strengths and opportunities often overlapped and seized on some of the established growth areas in the Rochester region: health care, research and development work at local universities, high-tech startups, advanced manufacturing, and tourism.

As for the roadblocks, participants listed high taxes, the difficulty small businesses face in accessing capital, high power costs, and the region’s poor attitude about itself.

That this has all been said before plays into critics’ concerns that the council is essentially the same small circle of influential people making economic development decisions and policy.

“I think the business community is fairly wellrepresented on the board,” says Colin O’Malley, an organizer with Metro Justice, a group Colin O’Malley. that is often Photo by MATT DETURCK critical of local and state economic development practices.

Alliance for a Greater New York, a wideranging coalition which includes Metro Justice, recently released a report that included recommendations for the councils.

One of the report’s recommendations: the council membership needs to go beyond business leaders. Low-income communities, communities of color, and workers groups should play a part in economic development discussions, the report says. The councils also lack environmental voices, critics say.

The council’s strategic plan will ultimately compete with plans for other regions.

The four best plans will earn the councils $40 million each in capital grants and tax incentives they can award to, for example, a company expanding a factory. The other six councils will split a $40-million pot.

A second look at suspensions One of the key reforms of former city school Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard, the in-house suspension program, is undergoing a major re-evaluation, says Adam Urbanski, president of the Rochester Teachers Association. Urbanski says Brizard’s program isn’t effective. | The suspension program is being evaluated by a joint committee of RTA and district officials. Urbanski says the committee will recommend changes that emphasize connecting students to needed services such as counseling, health and social-service assistance, and if appropriate, alternative education programs or schools. | Urbanski describes IHS as a “dumping ground” where learning doesn’t take place because students are not getting the right type of help. | “We’re going to stop putting our heads in the sand about discipline,” he says. | The district had more than 11,000 suspensions annually in the mid 2000’s, and IHS became one of Brizard’s signature reforms. A much more graduated approach to student discipline was put in place with suspension reserved for the worst offenses. | But some teachers have complained about the program, saying it fails to resolve the issues that led to the student’s suspension.

Stan Stojkovic, a professor at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, says that states’ budget problems may drive prison reforms. Photo PROVIDED

The bloody conclusion to the 1971 inmate uprising at Attica got the whole country talking about prison conditions. Some attempts at reform were made in the aftermath, but four decades after Attica, reform on a large scale hasn’t materialized.

Instead, more people are in prison, sentences are longer, and fewer public resources are devoted to helping inmates transition back into society.

This month marks the 40th anniversary of the Attica uprising, the deadliest prison revolt in the nation’s history. Poor conditions at the prison are said to have been the overriding factor responsible for the revolt.

“It was a tragic event but it was probably a necessary event, given what the heck was going on,” says Stan Stojkovic, dean and professor at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Helen Bader School of Social Welfare. “But when you fast forward, we just haven’t made much progress since then.”

In some respects, the country has gone in the opposite direction. The 1970’s and 1980’s brought the Rockefeller Drug Laws, the War on Drugs, less judicial discretion in sentencing, less discretion in releasing inmates, and other tough-on-crime measures. In-prison rehabilitation programs were cut, as were work-release programs City

SEPTEMBER 7-13, 2011

meant to help prisoners get on their feet before full release. New York and other states have also expanded their prisons.

And in 1996, Congress passed legislation imposing restrictions on prisoner litigation; lawsuits and court orders have historically been the primary drivers of prison reform.

States have seen substantial growth in their prison populations since the Attica revolt. For example, New York had 12,579 people in state prisons in 1970, but has approximately 56,000 prisoners now. The number peaked in 1999 at 71,600.

The growth in the prison population raises two questions: is the justice system sending too many people to prison, and what should the role of prisons be?

Ultimately, prison-reform advocates want a shift in the underpinning philosophy of the criminal-justice system. The focus should be on rehabilitation and not punishment, they say.

The complaints of inmates today are

similar to those made by the 1971 Attica prisoners. The Correctional Association of New York regularly visits state prisons and prepares a report on the conditions at each one. The reports note inmate complaints, which include the quality of their food, the way they’re treated by guards and medical staff, lack of access to education or vocation

EVANS programs, the conditions of the showers, and high prices at the commissary.

Reformers are focusing on newer issues, as well. One is the widespre ad use of segregated housing units — areas of small cells used for solitary confinement — for disciplinary purposes or to separate gang members. Some prisons expanded these units during the 1980’s and 1990’s.

Inmates are generally kept in the small cells for 23 hours a day. They get one hour of exercise, and that happens in another small, enclosed area.

“You really damage somebody by isolating them that long,” says Patricia Warth, co-director of justice strategies at the Syracuse-based Center for Community Alternatives.

A 2010 article from the Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law says that the mentally ill are often disproportionately represented in solitary confinement, and that their experience tends to exacerbate their illnesses.

Elected officials, prison officials, and society at-large may not have embraced the

reform opportunities Attica presented, but budgets are starting to motivate change, including in New York State.

The state closed seven prisons this year, eliminating 3,800 beds. Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the closings at the end of June and said they would save the state $184 million in the 20112012 and 2012-2013 budgets. It costs New York about $55,000 per year to house a prisoner, says the Correctional Association of New York.

States can’t put prisoners in beds they don’t have, so some prison-reform advocates say officials will be forced to change the way they approach incarceration. Budgetary considerations aren’t the ideal basis for prison reform, Warth says, but they do get the conversation started.

The state has taken some positive steps.

In 2009, legislators passed bills reforming the Rockefeller Drug Laws. The legislation eliminated mandatory minimum sentences for low level, nonviolent drug offenders, and lets judges order those offenders into drug treatment programs.

Education, job training, and other rehabilitative programs — which are often easy targets for cuts — can reduce recidivism rates by 8 to 10 percent, says the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Stojkovic.

That may not sound like a lot, he says, but for large states like New York or California, that could mean averting thousands of crimes. That, in turn, would mean fewer people heading to prison.

That’s important: consider California, which is under court order to release 30,000 inmates because of overcrowding and related problems.

But prison reform brings up many complex questions and problems. And the programs that keep offenders out of prison or reduce recidivism are imperfect.

“That doesn’t mean you then go the other directions and then simply lock everyone up and throw away the key,” Stojkovic says. “That’s crazy.”

Sometimes inmates find their own ways to push reform. Warth says she’s encouraged to see inmates peacefully protesting conditions that they find unacceptable, even if the press doesn’t always pay attention.

Late last year, some inmates in Georgia state prisons went on a six-day strike to demand payment for the work they do and better living conditions. They also wanted other things, like more fruits and vegetables in their meals. The inmates ended the protests to allow the administration time to meet their demands, but said there would be more if conditions don’t improve.

In July 2011, inmates at California’s Pelican Bay State Prison went on a hunger strike to protest isolation unit conditions and methods used to determine gang status, reported the San Francisco Chronicle. The strike lasted three weeks, and inmates at three other state prisons joined in. The strike ended when prison officials said they’d immediately address some demands and seriously consider others. The inmates said they’d go back on strike if they didn’t see progress soon.

BLIND CAN WE OPEN OUR EYES? COVER STORY | BY TOM HAYDEN

After witnessing the first jetliner crash into the Twin Towers on that September 11 morning, a friend of mine’s wife and 7-year-old daughter fled to their nearby Manhattan loft and ran to the roof to look around. From there, they saw the second plane explode in a rolling ball of flaming fuel across the rooftops. It felt like the heat of a fiery furnace.

Not long after, the girl was struck with blindness. She rarely left her room. Her parents worked with therapists for months, trying various techniques including touch and visualization, before the young girl finally recovered her sight.

“The interesting new development,” my friend reports, “is that she no longer remembers very much, which she told me when I asked her if she would be willing to speak with you.”

That’s what happened to America itself 10 years ago this Sunday on 9/11, though it might be charged that many of us were blinded by privilege and hubris long before.

But 9/11 produced a spasm of blind rage arising from a pre-existing blindness as to the way much of the world sees us. That in turn led to the invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq, Afghanistan again, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia — in all, a dozen “shadow wars,” according to the New York Times. In Bob Woodward’s crucial book, “Obama’s Wars,” there were already secret and lethal counterterrorism operations active in more than 60 countries as of 2009.

From Pentagon think tanks came a new military doctrine of the “Long War,” a counterinsurgency vision arising from the failed Phoenix program of the Vietnam era, projecting US open combat and secret wars over a span of 50 to 80 years, or 20 future presidential terms. The taxpayer costs of this Long War, also shadowy, would be in the many trillions of dollars and paid for not from current budgets, but by generations born after the 2000 election of George W. Bush. The deficit spending on the Long War would invisibly force the budgetary crisis now squeezing our states, cities, and most Americans.

Besides the future being mortgaged in this way, civil liberties were thought to require a shrinking proper to a state of permanent and secretive war, and so the Patriot Act was promulgated. All this happened after 9/11 through democratic default and denial. Who knows what future might have followed if Al Gore, with a half-million popular-vote margin over George W. Bush, had prevailed in the US Supreme Court instead of losing by the vote of a single justice?

In any event, only a single member of Congress, Barbara Lee of BerkeleyOakland, voted against Bush’s initial September 14, 2001, request for emergency powers [war authorization] to deal with the aftermath of the attacks. Only a single senator, Russ Feingold, voted against the Patriot Act. Were we not blinded by what happened on 9/11? Are we still? Let’s look at the numbers we almost never see.

F O G O F WA R As to American casualties, the figure now is beyond twice those who died in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington on 9/11. The casualties are rarely totaled, but they are broken down into three categories by the Pentagon and Congressional Research Service.

SEPTEMBER 7-13, 2011

There is Operation Enduring Freedom, which includes Afghanistan and Pakistan, but in keeping with the Long War definition, also covers Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Second, there is Operation Iraqi Freedom and its successor, Operation New Dawn, the name adopted after September 2010 for the 47,000 US advisers, trainers and counterterrorism units still in Iraq. The scope of these latter operations includes Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates.

These territories include not only Muslim majorities but also, according to former Centcom Commander Tommy Franks, 68 percent of the world’s proven oil reserves and the passageway for 43 percent of petroleum exports, another American geo-interest that was heavily denied in official explanations.

(See Michael Klare’s “Blood and Oil” and Antonia Juhasz’s “the Bush Agenda” for more on this.)

A combined 6,197 Americans were killed in these wars as of August 16, 2011, in the name of avenging 9/11, a day when 2, 996 Americans died.

The total American wounded has been 45,338, and rising at a rapid rate.

The total number rushed by Medivac out of these violent zones was 56,432.

That’s a total of 107, 996 Americans. And the active-duty military-suicide rate for the decade is at a record high of 2,276, not counting veterans or those who have tried unsuccessfully to take their own lives. In fact, the suicide rate for last year was greater than the American death toll in either Iraq or Afghanistan.

The Pentagon has long played a numbers game with these body counts.

Accurate information has always been painfully difficult to obtain, and there was a time when the Pentagon refused to count as Iraq war casualties any soldier who died from his or her wounds outside of Iraq’s airspace.

Similar controversies have surrounded examples such as soldiers killed in non-combat accidents.

The fog around Iraqi and Afghan civilian casualties will be seen in the future as one of the great scandals of the era. Briefly, the United States and its allies in Baghdad and Kabul have relied on eyewitness, media, or hospital numbers instead of the more common cluster-sampling interview techniques used in conflict zones like the first Gulf War, Kosovo, or the Congo.

The United Nations has a conflict of interest as a party to the military conflict, and acknowledged in a July 2009 UN human-rights report footnote that “there is a significant possibility that the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan is underreporting civilian casualties.” In August, even the mainstream media derided a claim by the White House counterterrorism adviser that there hasn’t been a single “collateral” or innocent death during an entire year of CIA drone strikes in Pakistan, a period in which 600 people were killed, all of them alleged “militants.”

As a specific explanation for the blindness, the Los Angeles Times reported on April 9 that “Special Forces account for a disproportionate share of civilian casualties caused by Western troops, military officials and human-rights groups say, though there are no precise figures because many of their missions are deemed secret.”

S T I C K E R - S H O C K O F WA R

A HOPE FOR PEACE

Among the most bizarre symptoms of the blindness is the tendency of most deficit hawks to become big spenders on Iraq and Afghanistan, at least until lately. The direct costs of the war, which is to say those unfunded costs in each year’s budget, now come to $1.23 trillion, or $444.6 billion for Afghanistan and $791.4 billion for Iraq, according to the National Priorities Project.

But that’s another sleight-of-hand, when one considers the so-called indirect costs like long-term veterans’ care. Leading economists Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes recently testified to Congress that their previous estimate of $4 trillion to $6 trillion in ultimate costs was conservative. Nancy Youssef of McClatchy Newspapers in D.C .— in my opinion the best war reporter of the decade — wrote recently that “it’s almost impossible to pin down just what the United States spends on war.” The president himself expressed “sticker shock,” according to Woodward’s book, when presented cost projections during his internal review of 2009.

The Long War casts a shadow not only over our economy and future budgets, but our unborn children’s future as well. This is no accident, but the result of deliberate lies, obfuscations, and scandalous accounting techniques. We are victims of an information warfare strategy waged deliberately by the Pentagon.

As General Stanley McChrystal said much too candidly in February 2010, “This is not a physical war of how many people you kill or how much ground you capture, how many bridges you blow up. This is all in the minds of the participants.” David Kilcullen, once the top counterinsurgency adviser to General David Petraeus, defines “international information operations as part of counterinsurgency.”

In his 2010 book “Counterinsurgency,” Kilcullen wrote that Petraeus’ goal is to achieve a “unity of perception management measures targeting the increasingly influential spectators’ gallery of the international community.”

This new “war of perceptions,” relying on naked media manipulation such as the treatment of media commentators as “message amplifiers” but also high-technology information warfare, only highlights the vast importance of the ongoing WikiLeaks whistle-blowing campaign against the global secrecy establishment.

Consider just what we have learned about Iraq and Afghanistan because of WikiLeaks: tens of thousands of civilian casualties in Iraq never before disclosed; instructions to US troops not to investigate torture when conducted by US allies; the existence of Task Force 373, carrying out night raids in Afghanistan; the CIA’s secret army of 3,000 mercenaries; private parties by DynCorp featuring trafficked boys as entertainment; and an Afghan vice president carrying $52 million in a suitcase. The efforts of the White House to prosecute Julian Assange and persecute Pfc. Bradley Manning in military prison should be of deep concern to anyone believing in the public’s right to know.

The news that this is not a physical war but mainly one of perceptions will not be received well among American military families or Afghan children, which is why a responsible citizen must rebel first and foremost against The Official Story. That simple act of resistance necessarily leads to study as part of critical practice, which is as essential to the recovery of a democratic self and democratic society.

Read, for example, this early martial line of Rudyard Kipling, the English poet of the White Man’s Burden: “When you’re left wounded on Afghanistan’s plains and the women come out to cut up what remains/ just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains/And go to your God like a soldier.” Years later, after Kipling’s beloved son was killed in World War I and his remains never recovered, the poet wrote: “If any question why we died / Tell them because our fathers lied.”

An important part of the story of the peace movement, and the hope for peace itself, is the process by which hawks come to see their own mistakes. A brilliant history-autobiography in this regard is Dan Ellsberg’s “Secrets,” about his evolution from defense hawk to historic whistleblower during the Vietnam War. Ellsberg writes movingly about how he was influenced on his journey by contact with young men on their way to prison for draft resistance.

The military occupation of our minds will continue until many more Americans become familiar with the strategies and doctrines in play during the Long War. Not enough Americans in the peace movement are literate about counterinsurgency, counterterrorism, and the debates about “the clash of civilizations”—i.e., the West versus the Muslim world.

The writings of Andrew Bacevich, a Vietnam veteran and retired Army lieutenant colonel whose own son was killed in Iraq in 2007, is one place to begin. Bacevich, a professor at Boston University, has written “the New American Militarism” and edited “the Long War,” both worth absorbing.

For the military point of view, there is the 2007 “Army-Marine Counterinsurgency Field Manual” developed by General Petraeus, with its stunning resurrection of the Phoenix model from Vietnam, in which thousands of Vietnamese were tortured or killed before media outcry and Senate hearings shut it down. David Kilcullen, Petraeus’ main doctrinal adviser, even calls for a “global Phoenix program” to combat Al Qaeda-style groupings. These are Ivy League calls to war: Kilcullen even endorsing “armed social science” in a New Yorker article in 2007.

For a criticism of counterinsurgency and defense of the “martial spirit,” Bing West’s recent “The Wrong War” is a must-read. West, a combat Marine and former Pentagon official, worries that counterinsurgency is turning the army into a Peace Corps, when it needs grit and bullets. “America is the last Western nation standing that fights for what it believes,” he roars.

Not enough is being written about how to end the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, but experts with much to say are the University of Michigan’s Scott Atran (“Talking to the Enemy”) and former UK envoy Sherard Cowper Coles (“Cables from Kabul”). There is also my own 2007 book, “Ending the War in Iraq,” which sketches a strategy of grassroots pressure against the pillars of the policy (the pillars necessary for the war are public opinion, trillions of dollars, thousands of available troops, and global alliances; as those fall, the war must be resolved by diplomacy).

The more we know about the Long War doctrine, the more we understand the need for a long peace movement. The pillars of the peace movement, in my experience and reading, are the networks of local progressives in hundreds of communities across the United States. Most of them are citizen-volunteers, always immersed in the crises of the moment: nowadays the economic recession and unemployment. Look at them from the bottom up, and not the top down, and you will see: • The people who marched in the hundreds of thousands during the Iraq War; • Those who became the enthusiastic consumer base for Michael Moore’s documentaries and the Dixie Chicks’ anti-Bush lyrics; • The first to support Howard Dean when he opposed the Iraq war, and the stalwarts who formed the anti-war base for Barack Obama; • The online legions of MoveOn who raised millions of dollars and turned out thousands of focused bloggers; • The voters who dumped a Republican Congress in 2006 on the Iraq issue, when the party experts said it was impossible; • The millions who elected Obama president by a historic flood of voluntary enthusiasm and get-out-the-vote drives; • The majorities who still oppose the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, and want military spending reversed. continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

9/11 BLIND continues from page 9

This peace bloc deserves more. It won’t happen overnight, but gradually we are wearing down the pillars of the war. It’s painfully slow, because the president is threatened by Pentagon officials, private military contractors, and an entire Republican Party (except the Ron Paul contingent), all of whom benefit from the politics and economics of the Long War. But consider the progress, however slow.

In February of this year, Representative Barbara Lee put forward a resolution at the Democratic National Committee calling for a rapid withdrawal from Afghanistan and transfer of funds to job creation. It passed without dissent. Then 205 House members, including a majority of Democrats, voted for a resolution that almost passed, calling for the same rapid withdrawal. Even the AFLCIO executive board, despite a long history of militarism, adopted a policy opposing our policy in Afghanistan.

The president himself is quoted in “Obama’s Wars” as opposing his military advisors, demanding an exit strategy, and musing that he “can’t lose the whole Democratic Party.”

At every step of the way, it must be emphasized that public opinion in congressional districts has been a key factor in changing establishment behavior.

In the end, the president decided to withdraw 33,000 American troops from Afghanistan by next summer, and continue “steady” withdrawals of the rest (68,000) from combat roles by 2014. At this writing, it is unclear how many remaining troops Obama will withdraw from Iraq, or when and whether the drone attacks on Pakistan will be forced to an end.

The Arab Spring has demolished key pillars of the Long War alliance, particularly in Egypt, to which the CIA only recently was able to render its detainees for torture.

Obama’s withdrawal decision upset the military, but also most peace advocates he presumably wanted to win back. The differences revealed a serious gap in the insideoutside strategy applied by many progressives.

After a week of hard debate over the president’s plan, for example, Senator John Kerry invited Tim Carpenter, leader of the heavily grassroots Progressive Democrats of America, into his office for a chat. Kerry had slowly reversed his pro-war position on Afghanistan and said he thought Carpenter would be pleased with the then-secret Obama decision on troop withdrawals. From Kerry’s insider view, the number 33,000 was a very heavy lift, supported mainly by Vice President Joe Biden but not the national security mandarins. (Secretary of Defense Gates had called Biden “ridiculous,” and 10 City SEPTEMBER 7-13, 2011

General McChrystal’s later ridicule of Biden helped lose the general his job.)

From Carpenter’s point of view, 33,000 would seem a disappointing too little, too late. While it was definite progress toward a phased withdrawal, bridging the differences between the Democratic liberal establishment and the idealistic progressive networks will remain an ordeal through the 2012 elections.

As for Al Qaeda, there is always the threat of another attack, like those attempted by militants aiming at Detroit during Christmas 2009 or Times Square in May 2010. In the event of a terrorist assault originating from Pakistan, all bets are off: According to Woodward, the United States has a “retribution” plan to bomb 150 separate sites in that country alone, and there are no apparent plans for The Day After.

Assuming that nightmare doesn’t happen, today’s al Qaeda is not the al Qaeda of a decade ago. Osama bin Laden is dead, its organization is damaged, and its strategy of conspiratorial terrorism has been displaced significantly by the people-power democratic uprisings across the Arab world.

It is clear that shadow wars lie ahead, but not expanding ground wars involving greater numbers of American troops. The emerging argument will be over the question of whether special operations and drone attacks are effective, moral, and consistent with the standards of a constitutional democracy. And it is clear that the economic crisis finally IS enabling more politicians to question the trillion-dollar war spending.

Meanwhile, the 2012 national elections present a historic opportunity to awaken from the blindness inflicted by 9/11.

Diminishing the US combat role by escalating the drone wars and special operations could repeat the failure of Richard Nixon in Vietnam. Continued spending on the Long War could repeat the disaster of Lyndon Johnson. A gradual winding down may not reap the budget benefits or political reward Obama needs in time.

With peace voters making a critical difference in numerous electoral battlegrounds however, Obama might speed up the “ebbing,” plausibly announce a peace dividend in the trillions of dollars, and transfer those funds to energy conservation and America’s state and local crises. His answer to the deficit crisis will have to include a sharp reduction in war funding, and his answer to the Tea Party Republicans will have to be a Peace Party.

Pork tamales with salsa and salsa verde from Los Gallos Mexican Grill. Photo by MATT DETURCK

West of the border Los Gallos Mexican Grill 2700 W. Ridge Road 227-7718, losgallosmexgrill.com Mon-Thu 11 a.m.-10 p.m., Fri 11 a.m.10:30 p.m., Sat-Sun noon-9 p.m. [ REVIEW ] BY JAMES LEACH

Los Gallos Mexican Grill in Greece, despite appearances, is not your typical Tex-Mex restaurant. I’m putting that up front, because the minute I stepped in the door a few days ago, my heart sank. Colorful sombreros on the walls, crepe-paper dancing senorita decorations, and basin-sized unearthly green margaritas on pretty much every table all had me mentally ratcheting down my expectations before I’d even sat down and taken up the menu. This place looks like your stereotypical Tex-Mex joint. I opened the menu, and the first thing that I saw was a list of 31 different combination plates (I honestly have no idea how the cooks or the diners could keep them straight or remember exactly what they ordered). Burritos, ground beef tacos, chile con queso, and chimichangas are all there for the asking — and they are probably pretty good. Look a little closer at the menu, though, and things get a lot more exciting. Enchiladas verdes, chiles en ahogada, carnitas en chile verde, chile colorado, handmade tamales, and queso fundido y chorizo are all there waiting to be discovered.

As I say, not your typical Tex-Mex restaurant.

Los Gallos plays again and again with your expectations, taking you from a suburban Chi-Chi’s to your favorite taco truck and back again so quickly you may get whiplash.

We sat down and within seconds a basket of mundane-looking chips and salsa hit the table.

It looked pretty standard, but the chips were freshly fried (a couple of them were still hot to the touch) and the salsa was remarkably good — a cool, but not ice cold, tomato base layered with garlic, onion, cilantro, and more than a little bit of chile. Neither too hot (Mexican food is spicy, but not mouth-searingly hot) nor too mild, the smooth puree functioned the same way an amuse bouche would at a more expensive restaurant. It woke up my mouth and left me wanting more.

More was, of course, on the way. On our first visit, we ordered queso fundido y chorizo ($6.50), a delicous mixture of melted queso fresco and loose chorizo (a smoky, spicy Mexican sausage) served bubbling hot along with a tin-foil packet of flour tortillas.

When I saw the chorizo, I got very excited: loose chorizo is a staple of Mexican cuisine, but devilishly hard to find locally. I asked our waiter where they got it, hoping he’d tell me about a new Latino market in the area. He got a sad look on his face and said, “Atlanta, Georgia” with a sigh. I could sympathize: I’ve been trying to find good chorizo around here for years. Wherever it came from, the sausage was everything I could have hoped for. Smoky, a bit greasy, and perfect paired with the velvety smooth cheese. We polished off the tortillas and resorted to the leftover chips very quickly.

chorizo, at Los Gallos green means go. By which I mean, if it comes with salsa verde, order it. Our second visit started with fiesta dip ($5.95), an unfortunate name for a delicious mixture of guacamole and salsa verde, a study in green. Cool, subtly seasoned guac and the lime and cilantro savor of the tomatillo-based salsa verde make a winning combination. The poblano peppers minced into the salsa deliver a surprising amount of heat that builds on you over the course of your appetizer.

Entrees are similarly excellent in green.

The classic enchiladas verdes ($7.50), shredded chicken enchiladas covered in salsa verde and topped with a sprinkle of queso fresco, were deeply pleasing, like comfort food made by a Mexican grandma. The carnitas en chile verde ($9.50), though, were outstanding — a concrete illustration of the principle that time, love, and attention to detail can render even the most humble ingredients sublime. Work-a-day pork shoulder rubbed down with garlic, cumin, and salt and then braised in salsa verde until it almost literally melts, this “chili” will ruin you for the red stuff with beans that you have been eating until now. (Although mixing some of the mixed meat juices and salsa that pools on your plate with the pureed refried beans makes a very pleasing combination, the beans adding a bit more depth and creaminess to an already amazing line up of flavors and textures.)

If you tire of green, red is also a solid choice at Los Gallos. The deep-red homemade enchilada sauce slathered on Los Gallos’ handmade pork tamales made me seriously wish that those dense and toothsome tubes of steamed cornmeal and meat had more surface area to cover with the sauce ($6.50). The sauce, really a species of finely ground mole, has so many complex flavors that it nearly defies description — the earthy undercurrent of the cornmeal used to thicken it, the deep brown flavor of fireroasted dried peppers, tiny explosions of heat on the tongue, all married together in a harmonious whole.

Even that tired old cliche, tortilla soup ($5.95), gets a wake-up call at Los Gallos.

Starting with a chili-enriched homemade chicken stock, the cooks at Los Gallos layer in roasted chicken, onions, poblano peppers, and cilantro along with rice, and then top each bowl with a handful of just-ripe avocado (giving the soup welcome creamy accents) and a generous stack of fried flour tortilla strips drizzled with a sauce rich in chipotle peppers. Like me, you’ll probably be trying to reverse-engineer the soup on your way out the door while you simultaneously plan your next visit to Greece.

Boogie woogie battle cry [ review ] by frank de blase

If Melia keeps adding to her bag of tricks, mama’s gonna need a brand new bag. Every time I see this young lady play she’s deconstructed a yet another vertigo-inducing riff, plugged it in, and pulled it off. We’re not just talking flash tricks and harmonics, but wellthought-out and executed patterns and hooks as well. Wednesday, August 31, at The Club @ Water Street, Melia and her band served up a generous set of hearty rock ’n’ roll. I’d never heard her play covers before, and actually found it interesting to hear her take on bands that have influenced her sound. Stuff from Nirvana, Alanis Morissette, and Garbage peppered her set.

Melia’s guitar set the tone while her band supplied the giddy-up. It’s hard to pinpoint her stylistically sometimes; she clearly loves the guitar-heavy stuff and throws in catchy choruses throughout.

But you know what? I’d like to see her get a little mean. Her guitar’s already got an attitude. And I know there’s something more brewing underneath.

Caught the Red Wings’ final game of the season Saturday night as the team came from behind to beat Syracuse.

Sure, I like baseball, but I’m really

there for Fred Costello’s ballpark organ boogie-woogie and battle cry. It’s so cool and timeless. Costello may play classic, but he doesn’t just truck with the dinosaurs. He dug out Cee Lo Green’s “Forget You” as well.

After hitting the ball and touching them all, I slid over to Abilene where some of the best reggae I’d heard in a long, long time was busting the clouds from the stage on the joint’s outside deck. It was Thunder Body laying down the thunder and thick grooves for all the sweaty bodies dancing non-stop in front of the stage. “Overhand” Sam Snyder is now in the band and this was his fourth gig with the group. He blended flawlessly despite a sense of wonder that came out whenever he was up to bat — it’s only been four gigs, remember. Drummer and singer Matt O’Brian told me he thought it was better to let Snyder dive right in as opposed to rehearsing him to death first. One of the show highlights was Colonel Parmesan’s sound effects (O’Brian calls it “science”) dripping with analogue delay and mirth.

It was psychedelic foley stage giving birth to intangible cartoons. You had to be there — you should have been there.

The John Payton Project features former members from The Buddhahood, The Mysterious Blues Band, Riff Monsters, and other local groups. photo by FRANK DE BLASE

The John Payton Project sees the light The John Payton Project A Friend In Need Benefit w/The Buddhahood, The Manhattan Project, Roots Collider, and Bear Bones Friday, September 9 Water Street Music Hall, 204 N. Water St. 5 p.m. | $10-$12 | 325-5600, waterstreetmusic.com [ PROFILE ] By Frank De Blase

The John Payton Project had been percolating in the womb for nine months before it was born on stage December 1, 2010, at The Club @ Water Street. No swaddling, no waddling, no coddling, no baby steps; the band simply slapped its ass, cut the cord, and let it wail. It was named for its big papa on the drums, John Payton, though the paternity runs band-wide.

“I was just saying to the guys, the name kind of misrepresents the band,” Payton says.

“They are all friends of mine from different points in my life. There’s Drew Bellavia, who played with me in the Buddhahood; Bobby Olson, who played with Tony Cavagnaro in The Mysterious Blues Band back in the day and who also — when we lost Tony — slid into the Buddhahood. My good friend Jimmy Versprille is playing percussion; he played with me in a band years back called the Riff Monsters. And bassist Willie Lopez, who I yanked out of retirement.” Payton himself looms large, putting all of his 6’3”, 238 lb. frame into his playing. On the drum set the man rivals thunder despite his nimble dexterity, Known for his tenure as drummer in The Buddhahood from 2001 to 2009, Payton 14 City SEPTEMBER 7-13, 2011

left the group during a period of uncertainty marked by the unexpected death of its leader, Cavagnaro, in 2007.

“I spent a lot of time with the group,” he says.

“There was a lot of searching for what my next thing was going to be, and this is what organically happened. It was just taking the next step.”

Comparisons to the Buddhahood are to be

expected, though Payton has yet to hear any.

Obviously the band colored his palate. “A lot of what I do from now forward is influenced by my time with The Buddhahood,” he says.

“I fell in love with all these different kinds of indigenous music, I fell in love with a lot of world music when I played with Buddhahood — but I also love good ol’ rock ’n’ roll and funk and…”

That lingering “and…” really illustrates where this band resides. JPP’s influences — and its own influence in return — are myriad, possibly endless. Bellavia honks his horn as if he’s from E Street and bounces around the stage like a caffeinated pinball, slipping in some austere hard-bop phrasing at the same time. Lopez swings like an elephant trunk and fires off funky burps and pops simultaneously. Olson plays guitar as if his head were on fire and his ass was catching, and shifts into a chugging rhythm mode along with Payton and Versprille’s muscular polyrhythmic display.

It was all immediately apparent at that first show. JPP leaped out of the gate with the Olson-penned tune “Can You See The Light?”, a soulful, almost spiritual rave-up complete with a gospel throwdown in double time at the end that would make the Reverend Cleophus proud.

Though the styles loaded in are bountiful, varied, and even a bit chaotic in spots, the blast out of the muzzle is amazingly focused.

“When we come to the table with songs,” Olson says, “we’re not trying to write in a genre and make ourselves some particular type of band. Therefore, everything goes.

We can play reggae, we can play a pop tune, we can even play something a little heavier, even borderline metal. You never know. We’re putting together…what would you call it?

Power-pop sounds? Drew has some amazing songs that we’re putting together and we’re really collaborating on the arrangements. We’ve all played different things through the years and all those things are going to creep in.”

Payton sums it up: “It’s good rock ’n’ roll,” he says. “And it’s a lot of fun with good friends.”

If you want to hear The John Payton Project you’ll have to get off the couch; the group is strictly live at this point. JPP has yet to burn tape.

“We have no recordings other than rehearsal tapes we listen to incessantly,” Payton says. “It’s time to get something out there, so within the next couple of months something will get rolling for sure. We’ve been working with Gordy Carlson [Campbell Brothers]; he does a lot of great live recordings. We’re hoping to lay down something with him in the future.”

There are other goals as well.

“I want to get this band on the stage at the Lilac Festival,” says Payton. “I want to go to a couple places on the road I hit with The Buddhahood, and just keep gelling. Right now we just enjoy making music. Everything’s clicking.” Payton has seen the light.

“I do,” he says. “I totally see the light.”

HARD ROCK | Uproar Festival

You’ll stagger out of this show with your head ringing for sure. The line-up for this year’s Uproar Festival is the cream of heavy rock. Avenged Sevenfold, Three Days Grace, Seether, Bullet For My Valentine, and Escape The Fate are all diverse groups with a common rock bond.

It seems lately so many bands abandon rock — and for that matter anything that sounds remotely pleasing — in order to add weight. Avenged Sevenfold is not one of these paper tigers, and is the best band on the bill.

Uproar Festival takes place Saturday, September 10, starting 2 p.m. at Darien Lake PAC, 9993 Alleghany Road, Darien Center. $27. livenation.com. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

PROGRESSIVE | Umphrey’s McGee

This Chicagoland, trend-setting six-piece has been going strong for almost 15 years now. Although usually identified with the improvisational jam-band scene, Umphrey’s McGee is much more influenced by progressive rock bands like King Crimson, Pink Floyd, and Frank Zappa. This blend of styles has resulted in group getting labeled “improg.” No matter the genre, Umphrey’s can absolutely tear it up. The band flies in and out of grooves rooted in an eclectic mix of blues, funk, jazz, metal, and even space rock. In recent shows, the band has shown a new found affinity for the tension and release inherent in electronic and house music. Either way you slice it, you will be cutting some rugs to shreds.

Umphrey’s McGee performs Tuesday, September 13, 8:30 p.m. at Water Street Music Hall, 204 N. Water St. $20-$25.

Speaking volumes BOA Dine & Rhyme Sunday, September 18 3 p.m. poetry reading & book signing, Memorial Art Gallery, 500 University Ave. 6 p.m. reception dinner & silent auction, Good Luck, 50 Anderson Ave. $20-$25/reading only, $125/entire program 546-3410, boaeditions.org [ LITERATURE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

For too many people, the experience with poetry begins and ends with nursery rhymes, and is only rarely revisited with the occasional recitation of Pablo Neruda at a wedding. Which is really a shame, because there are few things in human culture that so seriously move the secret person inside each of us, or allow a private dawning of meaning and cruciality between strangers, a conveyance of what is common and what is not in staggeringly lovely language.

Those who don’t take time away from the mad rush to indulge — yes, indulge — in the poetical arts probably aren’t familiar with the diamond-in-the-Roc that is BOA Editions.

In celebration of its 35th anniversary, the local non-profit indie publishing house is holding steady among other larger cultural institutions

in town, and looking forward to some exciting future editions and events.

BOA was founded in 1976 by the late poet, editor, and Brockport professor Al Poulin, Jr., also a renowned translator of Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke. BOA has always focused both on poetry and the art of a good translation, and Poulin had a “really good eye for something that would make a splash,” says Peter Conners, current BOA publisher.

The press’ first publication in 1977 was the second book by W.D. Snodgrass, who won the Pulitzer Prize for his first book, “Heart’s Needle,” in 1960. But Snodgrass’s “The Fuhrer Bunker,” a collection of poems written from the persona of Nazis, Nazi officials, and German civilians living through the Nazi regime, was sensitive subject matter from this celebrated poet. “Nobody would touch this book,” says Conners, but Poulin believed in it, and by publishing the book generated discussion and debate and immediately put BOA on the literary map. In 1984 BOA published “Yin” by Carolyn Kizer, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1985. More grant funding came after that, and BOA was able to move out of Poulin’s Brockport home and into downtown Rochester, above Arena’s Florist.

About four years ago it moved to its current space in Anderson Alley.

Though BOA began as poetry press in 1976,

Conners convinced the board to add two

annual fiction publications. BOA receives about 2,000 manuscripts each year for the 10 books it produces annually. These include two fiction, two translated works, and six poetry series, including the A. Poulin Jr. Poetry Class Contest, geared toward new authors. Competition for open slots is tight, says Conners, and BOA is concerned with the “balance of trying to bring in new voices, to stay contemporary, but also honor BOA’s roots and authors that Al [Poulin] has selected and brought in, and try to support them throughout their careers.”

The process of selecting authors includes open reading periods for each series where writers can submit their manuscripts. The series include the American Poets Continuum series for established poets, New Poets of America series for a poet’s first book, the Lannan Translation Selection series, and the American Readers series for a fiction book or books related to poetry or writing, such as the an upcoming work by MCC professor Anthony Leuzzi featuring interviews with poets including Billy Collins.

Conners calls the New Mexico-based Lannan Foundation “the unsung heroes of the American literature scene, because they fund a lot of presses like BOA and don’t make a big deal about it,” he says. “They give us $60,000 per year to publish two translated books of poetry.” This foundation has enabled BOA to publish glimpses into other people’s cultures, joys, and struggles, including a volume of Greek poet Yannis Ritsos’s poems originally penned in prison using the poet’s own blood. “Ruling regimes know the power of poetry,” says Conners, and they try to silence poets’ voices.

A 2003 collection of poems, “Miracle Maker,”

by Iraqi poet-in-exile Fadhil Al-Azzawi, was a controversial publication given our nation’s relations with Iraq. The University of Rochester’s Open Letter publishing house gave its Best Translated Book of Poetry Award to a Slovenian translation title “The Book of Things,” published by BOA in 2010. To gain an idea of how special this local operation is, consider that publications by BOA and its “sister presses” — White Pine in Buffalo and Copper Canyon in Washington State — together make up about 95 percent of the translated poetry in the country, according to Conners.

Prominent poets published through BOA include

Li-Young Lee, Naomi Shihab Nye, and the late Lucille Clifton. Clifton has the uncommon distinction of being “read by people who aren’t poets,” Conners says. She authored BOApublished “Blessing the Boats,” which won the National Book Award in 2000. BOA is currently working with Clifton’s family to publish “The Collected Works of Lucille Clifton,” which will include three books BOA did not publish, and is set to publish in the fall of 2012.

It will be the biggest book BOA has ever published, with regards to literary importance,

says Conners, but also physically, at 700 or 800 pages. The collection will feature a forward by Toni Morrison and blurbs from Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, and current Poet Laureate of the United States, W. S. Merwin. BOA is in the midst of a fundraising campaign, as Lannan has offered a $50,000 matching grant. The one book will cost as much to produce as two years’ of BOA’s traditional publishing costs, but “the opportunity is also huge, and so it’s something we can’t squander,” says Conners.

Local connections are becoming increasingly important to BOA, says Conners.

Selected poets and authors are allowed to select cover art for their book from a visual art library of work by local artists. Though the public is invited to the office to speak with staff, browse, and buy, BOA is not a venue per se, so relationships with other local institutions are key. BOA holds a writing workshop series at Midtown Fitness, and co-hosts a poetry event with Rochester Contemporary during the Rochester International Jazz Festival.

The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra has approached BOA about adding poetry to its upcoming programming, plans for which are still amorphous but will also involve students from School of the Arts. BOA’s board members also hold pop-up poetry readings at the Public Market, and Rochester Contemporary.

This year’s special anniversary edition of BOA’s annual “Dine & Rhyme” event takes place Sunday, September 18, and will feature a blend of past and present authors. The event includes readings by poets in various stages of their careers, including one of the first authors BOA had published, Michael Waters, who was a student of Al Poulin’s; first-time published poet Keetje Kuipers; and Aracelis Girmay, whose “Kingdom Animalia” is her second book, but first publication with BOA. The readings will take place at the Memorial Art Gallery, followed by a reception and silent auction at Good Luck.

The legacy BOA is creating is an important one, not only with respect to cultural heritage but also in promoting our ability to actively focus on vital things amid more passive forms of entertainment. “Poetry can convey amazing scenes or concepts or images with five or six words,” says Conners, while allowing the reader the “space to interact with the ideas rather than just projecting them up onto a screen for them to absorb.” He argues that though it takes more time to discern, “the payoff is really amazing. It will make you look at the world that you live in every day with new eyes, with a new perspective. I think it can illuminate the quotidian and elevate it to art.” It might be just a specific line from a poem that resonates with you, but “all of a sudden it will click, and that line puts a whole situation to a completely different light,” he says.

FESTIVAL | Clothesline Festival

For many Rochesterians it’s the official end of summer, and the start of fall: the M&T Bank Clothesline Festival returns to the Memorial Art Gallery Saturday, September 10, and Sunday, September 11, with outstanding arts and crafts, food, live entertainment, and more.

The 2011 Clothesline Fest will feature more than 400 artists from 37 counties in New York State, working in all manner of media including ceramics, painting, photography, jewelry, printmaking, glass, and woodworking. In addition to the vendors, live entertainment will be available both in- and outdoors, including a variety of local bands and exciting dance ensembles.

Kids 4-12 will want to check out the MAG’s Creative Workshop for free art activities, and Clothesline admission also grants access to the museum’s current exhibits, including the current “Rochester-Finger Lakes Exhibition.”

You may have noticed that the MAG grounds have been undergoing some changes as University Avenue finally, blessedly gets fixed, the ArtWalk Extension Project gets underway, and the museum has gotten started on its impending sculpture park. Make sure to follow signs carefully.

Clothesline runs Saturday 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Admission is $5, free for children 10 and under. The MAG is located at 500 University Ave. For more information call 2768900 or visit mag.rochester.edu. — BY ERIC REZSNYAK

DANCE | Monica Bill Barnes

Life has always been complicated and difficult, but somehow, each generation convinces itself things are getting worse.

To keep things in perspective, it’s important to remember to celebrate experience and consciousness. That’s right, I’m giving you the cliché that the point is your outlook — after all, that’s the only thing we really have control over. New York Citybased choreographer Monica Bill Barnes returns to Brockport this week with a new celebration-of-life performance, “Everything is Getting Better All the Time.” The show includes elements of the glamour of rock concerts, the good will of a little-league game, and the enthusiasm of a high-school marching band, per the Brockport press release.

This time around, Barnes will return with her entire dance company for a residency through September 10, and will present performances on Thursday, September 8, at 7:30 p.m., and Friday, September 9, at 4 & 7:30 p.m. in the Hartwell Dance Theater (Kenyon Street, Brockport).

Ticket prices are $15 for general audience, $10 for seniors, Brockport alumni, faculty, and staff, and $8 for students. Call 395-2787, visit the Tower Fine Arts Center Box Office (180 Holley Street), or Brockport.edu/finearts for tickets or more information. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Center, 5 Arnold Park. yogawave@ rochester.rr.com, openskyyoga. com. 7:30 p.m. $28.

This Week’s Health Tip from MVP Health Care

But, perhaps most important is the way markets serve as public gathering places for people from different ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic communities. As one of the few places where people comfortably gather and meet, markets are our neighborhoods’ original civic centers.

SPECIAL EVENTS | 9/11 10TH ANNIVERSARY EVENTS

The unspeakably monstrous events that took place in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania 10 years ago on September 11, 2001, shook the people of America to the core, and has been called our generation’s Pearl Harbor. And like that other era’s event, it was a tragedy used to launch us full-throttle at other groups of people, with few questions asked by most and with the protests of those who spoke up ignored or ridiculed. This anniversary is about commemorating the senseless loss of human life. Let’s take that opportunity to think about the lives lost beyond our borders as well.

Killing the past in the present [ REVIEW ] by george grella

“The Debt” (R), directed by John Madden Now playing

Within its necessary adherence to the demands of its traditional subjects — matters like intrigue, suspense, and simple excitement — the cinematic thriller often demonstrates considerable suppleness and flexibility, along with a capacity for high development.

“The Debt” provides some entertaining and thoughtful proof of the form’s rich potential, as well as its tendency to manipulate and deceive its audience.

Cinema Theater 271-1785 957 S. Clinton St. ANOTHER EARTH: 7; HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS II: Sat-Sun 4; ONE DAY: 8:30. continues on page 32

The picture’s technique neatly matches its subject, depending for much of its action and meaning on an alternation between past and present. Before the title credits roll, it shows a scene dated 1966, in which three people, Stephan (Martin Csokas), David (Sam Worthington), and Rachel (Jessica Chastain) disembark from a plane in an Israeli airport to receive congratulations for some unspecified triumph from a small crowd of big shots. It then shifts to 1997, where a party celebrates the publication of a book about the daring mission in East Berlin that those three people undertook, the abduction of a Nazi physician, Dieter Vogel (Jesper Christensen), known as the Surgeon of Birkenau, who conducted horrible experiments in the style of Josef Mengele.

Rachel’s daughter Sarah (Romi Aboulafia), the author, honors her mother’s courage and skill, and Rachel herself, played in the present

by Helen Mirren, reads a section from the book, which the movie dramatizes.

That section deals with events back in 1966, with young Rachel and her comrades

Stephan and David, Mossad agents, planning the abduction. Rachel poses as David’s wife, visiting Vogel’s gynecological clinic in East Berlin, pretending that she hopes the doctor will help her and her husband to conceive a child.

The book and the film footage show the initial success of their scheme, which ends with a fierce struggle between Vogel and Rachel; when he attempts to escape, she shoots him. All that action explains their heroes’ welcome back in Israel and the grand celebration of the book’s appearance some 30 years later.

At that point, however, everything changes radically. The mature Stephan (Tom Wilkinson), who turns out to be Rachel’s ex-husband and Sarah’s father, attends the party, where his presence apparently makes Rachel anxious and uneasy. David (Ciarán Hinds) shockingly and inexplicably commits suicide, and the story of their heroism begins to unravel. Shifting back to their time in East Berlin, the picture repeats the previous events, with some significant alterations and additions, raising questions that have haunted Rachel for all the intervening years.

The notion of the debt of the title reverberates throughout the film, suggesting a number of different meanings. Vogel obviously owes the world a debt for his unspeakable crimes against Jews and humanity in general in the concentration camp — to the end he expresses his contempt for people he regards as less than human. Like so many Jews of their time, Rachel,

The benefit of the doubt [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“Our Idiot Brother” (R), directed by Jesse Peretz Now playing

Stephan, and David have lost their immediate families in the Holocaust, which motivates them in their mission to collect on Vogel’s debt.

But as the movie suggests, Rachel, Stephan, and David themselves owe another kind of debt as well, which leads David to his suicide and Stephan and Rachel all these years later to yet another mission to resolve the issues their past actions created.

However reluctantly, Rachel finds herself in effect forced to repeat the past — she owes her own final debt, she realizes, to her family, her country, history, and above all, that most elusive concept, the truth.

The intensity of the movie’s treatment of a complex subject reveals once again the thriller’s capacity to transcend such simple matters as shocks and surprises, rapid action, violence, and excitement, drawing some important thematic concerns from its ostensibly straightforward revenge plot. The internal dynamics of the central trio — Stefan, David, Rachel — adds another layer of emotion to the action and, later, another burden of guilt to its people’s spirits.

They may finally accomplish their mission, but they pay a terrible price to cancel that debt.

Among the accomplished cast, Helen Mirren virtually carries the film and, as usual, stands out. Without speaking a word she displays a whole tangle of feeling simply in her facial expressions, a compound of fear, guilt, and a horrible sense of self knowledge.

In the personality she projects she sums up the difficult and devastating impact of “The Debt.”

Spike Lee called it “the Magical Negro,” but it can easily be broadened to “the Mystical Minority”; that’s the lazy, condescending cinematic device which finds someone typically marginalized by society — be it a person of color or a child or someone with a physical disability or mental issue — popping up in a movie and spouting unexpected wisdom that’s supposed to show vain, navel-gazing Whitey the error of his or her ways. Think Will Smith’s African-American caddy in “The Legend of Bagger Vance,” or Sigourney Weaver’s autistic mother in “Snow Cake,” or Kumar Pallana (subcontinental AND blind!) in the recent “Another Earth.” And if you’re an adult Caucasian male, like Chance the gardener from “Being There” or Forrest Gump from — well, you know the title — then sometimes you get your very own movie to cyclone through people’s lives and inadvertently shame them into being a little less awful.

To the pantheon of pale and holy fools we can now add Paul Rudd’s Ned,

Paul Rudd in “Our Idiot Brother.” PHOTO COURTESY THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY

the hero of the problematic yet likable comedy “Our Idiot Brother.” An organic farmer who looks like a foxy cross between Eddie Vedder and Jesus Christ, the sweetly naive Ned is afflicted with an incurable case of optimism, its crippling symptoms causing him to trust people and even take them at their word. We observe ample evidence of Ned’s disease in the opening scene, where Ned sells weed to a cop. Not an undercover cop, but a completely uniformed officer with a sad story. After his few months in jail Ned assumes he can return to the loving arms and paws of, respectively, his girlfriend and his dog, but the earthy, bitchy Janet (Kathryn Hahn is hilariously evil) has a new man and, worse, no intention of relinquishing custody of the cute and furry Willie Nelson.

So with no money and nowhere to sleep, Ned proceeds to drop in on each of his three New York City sisters, usually because the previous one has given him the boot. First stop is with Liz (Emily Mortimer), a frumpy housewife intent on raising perfect children but seemingly oblivious to the cruel arrogance of her documentarian husband (Steve Coogan, of course).

After a disastrous round of “Clouseau vs.

Cato” with Liz’s fun-deprived son, Ned is packed off to couch-surf with Miranda (Elizabeth Banks, who played Rudd’s girlfriend in “Role Models”), an aspiring journalist whose big break hinges on her hippie brother being as ethically cutthroat as she is. Before long Ned is staying with Natalie (Zooey Deschanel), a performance artist currently in a relationship with Cindy (Rashida Jones played Rudd’s girlfriend in “I Love You, Man”) but attracted to a cameoing — and unusually skeevy — Hugh Dancy.

Absolutely nothing surprising (or particularly side-splitting) occurs in

“Our Idiot Brother”; each individual plotline unfolds exactly as you think it will, with Ned’s self-absorbed sisters all learning their specific lessons simply because Ned is incapable of anything but honesty and expects as much from others. Jesse Peretz (he also made the 2001 Rudd flick “The Château”) directs capably here from an OK script by his sister, Vanity Fair contributor Evgenia Peretz, and her filmmaker husband David Schisgall, leaving one to wonder whether their dynamic informs the story and, if so, why the words rarely feel truthful. There’s one great kitchentable interlude between Liz, Miranda, and Natalie which really channels sisters and their on-target knack for emotional violence, but for the most part the characters are given no complexity, merely enough surface traits to propel them from bad to better in 90 minutes.

Pity, too, because this cast deserves more subtlety and opportunities to stretch. Mortimer is vulnerable, Banks is ballbusting, and Deschanel is offbeat; what else is new? (When I thought about how interesting it would be if the women switched roles, I realized that Deschanel has backed herself into a quirky corner.) The men fare much better here; Adam Scott (the mighty “Parks and Recreation”) shines in an underdeveloped Miranda subplot, while T.J. Miller strikes a few funny chords as Janet’s laidback boyfriend. And, as ever, there is the thus-far limitless appeal of Paul Rudd; he’s afforded one explosive scene in which we find out that even the patient Ned has his limits, but much of “Our Idiot Brother” coasts along solely on Rudd’s beatific charm and the question of whether a boy will be reunited with his dog. Ignore that dumb ending, though, which has “Our Idiot Test Audience” written all over it.

MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH

Wednesday, Sept. 7, 8 p.m.

As the plague sweeps across medieval Europe, Prince Prospero (Vincent Price) hides in his castle, entertaining the wealthy, torturing peasants, and making preparations for a masked ball. The shadow of the Red Death is never far behind, though, and Prospero soon finds himself in a hell of his own making.

Saturday, Sept. 10, 8 p.m.

A lovelorn English salesman slowly realizes those blokes stumbling about his neighborhood aren’t drunk but rather dead. This smart, funny, and downright scary take on the zombie flick successfully juggles laughs, screams, and — believe it or not — romance with the kind of perfectly disgusting gross-out effects any true fan of the genre should rightfully expect. (Edgar Wright, UK 2004, 99 min.)

Charming and Movein-Ready 21 Inglewood Drive The charming Tudor-style home at 21 Inglewood Drive, one of the most elegant of the 19th Ward streets, is packed with attractive features. The exterior of this 1,725 square-foot home, built in 1920, has a fairy-tale quality to it – handhewn posts support the front porch overhang, a small copper roof surmounts the side door, windows peek out of the steep roof, and a family room addition looks onto the shady backyard.

The interior is just as special, with every room carefully and exquisitely remodeled. All of the woodwork has been returned to its original unpainted rich hues, and the hardware on the windows is in pristine condition.

The kitchen has updated appliances and a granite countertop. A new powder room is creatively tucked in near the side entrance.

The living room has four original built-in cabinets and a fireplace with an elegant carved mantelpiece. The mirrored wall opposite the fireplace brightens and expands the room. The living room opens into the comfortable and sunny family room addition.

Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms with ample closet space, a remodeled bathroom, a new laundry room, and two built-in linen closets.

To say that this house is in “move-in” shape is an understatement. Every painted surface, inside and out, is in perfect condition and the hardwood floors are gleaming. The basement is dry and has room for a workbench and

storage cabinets. The new roof has a 50-year guarantee; the driveway was just re-done; there is a hot-tub on the deck off the family room; and the backyard is fenced. The single car detached garage is as charming as the house.

A deep front yard is an unusual bonus for all of the houses on this block of Inglewood. Inglewood also has more than its share of mature trees that provide a canopy of shade during the summer. The house is close to two bus lines and convenient to RIT, the University of Rochester, the airport, the Arnett Public Library, the Southwest Family YMCA, and Hunts Hardware.

The headquarters of the 19th Ward Community Association is located nearby on Thurston Road.

This organization has nurtured and enriched the neighborhood for more than 40 years and sponsors a variety of community events. Visit www.19wca.org for an overview of community celebrations, meetings, and other functions.

21 Inglewood Drive is listed at $114,900 through Frank Cornier at NCS Development Corp, frankcornier@gmail.com or 585-576-6379. Visit http://rochestercityliving.com/property/R162291 for more information and photos.
