bisected areas. Seems that the point was valid in view of the current argument that filling in a portion of the loop will reconnect neighborhoods. Problem is, the cost of doing and the cost of undoing both fall on the taxpayers and not the politicians behind both schemes.

the need to cut Social Security, Medicare/Aid, food stamps, etc., the possibility we might lob several billion dollars worth of munitions at another country in support of (you can’t make this stuff up) flesh-eating Takfiri mercenaries is sheer madness.

Country, changing

Sorry, Mr. DeBlase; that was a country concert you attended (“Kenny Chesney at CMAC: It Was Good. But Was It Country?”

Music Blog). That is what country sounds like today.

No it doesn’t sound like the country music of 40 years ago (recently adopted as “hip” by those who once routinely mocked it), but then rock music today does not sound like The Beatles and the Beach Boys anymore either.

Any popular music form must continually bring in new, younger fans or suffer the fate of once very popular forms such as doo wop and Big Band – even though the cranky old guys will swear it is no longer what it is, just because it doesn’t sound the way they want it to sound forever and always. (Is there a more fervently personal art form than music?)

Lucky for us all, it is not cranky old guys who get to determine which forms of music become and remain popular.

“Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?” (August 28): Interesting article, and I love that you focused on the traditional country music (mentioning Dave Donnelly, a Rochester country legend). You missed mentioning another group (Eric Huppert and Jim Schleich) that does classic country (not pop country!): The Backsliders.

They don’t play out a lot but have been together for nearly 25 years, playing primarily in the Rochester area, mostly south of Rochester – Honeoye Falls, Lima, Avon, and sometimes in the Southern Tier).

The US and Syria

Your ability to interpret all things Obama in the best possible light is borderline pathological (“What’s Next: Obama, Syria, and Congress,” Urban Journal). The only reason he backpedaled on an immediate strike was a complete lack of support, and he had to save face anyway he could. “Deferring” to Congress allows him to sit back down without looking like he overplayed his hand.

The UN inspection team had barely gotten their shoes dirty and the US regime was vowing action.

A couple of questions come up: What exactly are we going to blow up to “teach a lesson”?

Most likely critical civilian infrastructure, air defenses, and targeted assassinations of government and military leadership. With those out of the way, we would certainly get down to close tactical support of anti-Assad militants.

How can we be certain the Assad forces used sarin?

Back in May of this year, Turkish security arrested a handful of al Nusra (Al Qaeda in Syria) in possession of sarin gas, so we know for a fact that Assad’s opposition has access to this material and has probably used it on several occasions. We’re talking about (you can’t make this stuff up) flesh-eating Takfiri mercenaries, who would have zero compunction against martyring a bunch of civilians if it might bring much needed heavy ordnance against Assad. And they don’t even need to take time out from their anti-Kurdish ethnic cleansing in Northern Syria.

Consider: Assad is slowly rolling these folks up, even with their Western weapons, money, training, and an influx of foreign radical Muslims. He doesn’t need to use chemical weapons.

At a time when we are constantly being reminded of

To elected and appointed governmental decision-makers: You’re going to retaliate against the Assad regime? Retaliate for what? They haven’t harmed this country’s people. They’re involved in a sectarian religious and civil war in their country.

You’re going to punish the Assad regime? Who is going to punish you? You with the most powerful military and the largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction on planet Earth – for your war crimes; violations of the Geneva Conventions and US laws; for what you’ve done in Libya, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Iran (remember the terrorism of regime change involving the Shah?) and Vietnam.

You’re going to act unilaterally?

You, the moral conscience of the peoples of the Earth? You haven’t a square inch of moral ground upon which to stand. No doubt you will consider the effects your decisions might have on your next election and your legacy. Will you, also, deeply consider the legacy of the precious lives that will be gone as a result of your needless violence?

Other than images on a faraway screen somewhere, the US military won’t see the red blood as it flows from Syrian bodies onto the walkways and streets of their neighborhoods and out across the desert sands; nor will they hear the cries and screams being obliterated by the “rockets red glare and bombs bursting in air.”

You put on a show honoring Martin Luther King, Jr., but you have yet to fathom that nonviolence is the heartwood of his words and his actions.

Violence engenders violence... always.

There is a better way. You can find it. You already know what it is and where it is.

May all beings be safe and free from suffering.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Our terrible dilemma: the options with Syria Let me think out loud again, if you will, about Syria.

Russia’s proposal to put Syria’s chemical weapons under international control offers some hope. But given Vladimir Putin’s lack of initiative previously, this feels more like a delaying tactic. If that’s the case? President Obama has told us what he thinks we should do. Now members of Congress will make their own decision. And the rest of us have a responsibility to speak up.

So, like a lot of Americans, I’m trying to weigh the risks of an attack against the risks of not attacking. I worry. And I wrestle with my conscience. And I’m still torn.

There are numerous, and compelling, arguments against an attack.

1) Innocent people are likely to be killed, however “limited” our attacks may be. Is our action worth the loss of their lives – and the certain anger that will result?

2) Military action will be expensive, and we face great needs at home.

3) It’s unclear what a limited attack would accomplish.

“A ‘punishment’ air strike is a joke,” Kevin Drum wrote recently in Mother Jones, “little more than a symbol of helplessness to be laughed off as the nuisance it is.”

“If we want to change Assad’s behavior,” Drum wrote, “we’ll have to declare war on him.”

4) We don’t know what will happen next.

There’s no guarantee that Bashar alAssad won’t use chemical weapons again.

Then what will we do? If he attacks our warships, then what?

Nor do we know what Iran will do.

Late last week the Wall Street Journal, quoting unnamed US officials, reported that US intelligence officials have evidence that Iran is urging militants in Iraq to attack the US embassy “and other US interests” in Baghdad if we attack Syria.

(Iran denied the report.)

Another concern: Bob Dreyfuss, writing in The Nation, warns that the US would be attacking an important ally of Iran “at the exact wrong moment, given Iran’s newfound moderate tone and a new president, Hassan Rouhani, who appears to be looking for an end to the confrontation over Iran’s nuclear program.”

An attack, Dreyfuss writes, would undermine Rouhani and strengthen Iranian hardliners.

Attack supporters like John McCain want to do more than just send a message to Assad. They want him out of power.

Do the risks of an attack on Syria outweigh the certain escalation of chemical weapons use if we don’t act?

But if that’s the result of an attack, we don’t know what will happen in that divided country afterward.

“The hard truth,” writes Brookings Fellow Jeremy Shapiro, “is that the United States does not have the power to end the suffering of the Syrian people. It can, with great effort and violence, topple a heinous regime in a country like Syria, but what comes next is beyond the American capacity to control or even predict.”

Many commentators have compared the situation in Syria to that in Kosovo where, after a long period of international condemnations and diplomatic attempts, NATO troops put an end to the terrorism of Slobodan Milosevic.

But, says Michael Tomasky on The Daily Beast, “There’s one massive difference between Kosovo and Syria: Milosevic didn’t have a major regional power watching his back.”

5) The risk that we’ll get drawn into a much broader conflict is enormous.

In his much-publicized letter to the Senate Armed Services Committee in July, Joint Chiefs Chairman John Dempsey warned about “unintended consequences of our action.”

“Once we take action,” he said, “we should be prepared for what comes next.

Deeper involvement is hard to avoid.”

“The one thing we should learn is you can’t get a little bit pregnant,” retired Marine General Anthony Zinni told the Washington Post last month. “If you do a one-and-done and say you’re going to repeat it if unacceptable things happen, you might find these people keep doing unacceptable things. It will suck you in.”

If that happens, the legacy of this president, sadly, could be a quagmire in a very volatile part of the world.

6) While the president says that Assad’s use of chemical weapons is so abhorrent continues on page 7 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Brockport gets Strong Urgent Care

ENVIRONMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

The University of Rochester Medical Center opened Strong Urgent Care at the former Lakeside Memorial Hospital in Brockport. And URMC is planning to invest nearly $3 million in the site for an emergency department to open in January 2014. The department would offer specialized services not available in most urgent care settings.

Monroe Avenue water war

The Town of Brighton is taking on a project to make a section of Monroe Avenue more attractive and more pedestrian friendly.

But the project’s main aim is to control storm water runoff along the heavily traveled road.

Working on the railroad

The state will use a project labor agreement for the new Rochester Amtrak station. A press release says that the governments and unions involved in the project have agreed on the terms for the $30 million project. The agreement includes standardized start and stop times for all shifts, scheduling flexibility, and a no-strike clause.

A Monroe Avenue project should reduce the amount of storm water that flows into Buckland Creek, shown here, and Allens Creek.

PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

The streetscape between Twelve Corners and Allens Creek near Westfall Road will be remade into a “green street.” The corridor has many paved surfaces, including parking areas and sidewalks. When it rains, the water flows from those surfaces and into the road or into Allens and Buckland creeks.

The roadside features that will be planted or installed through the green street project should absorb or hold back some of the water, says Brighton Supervisor Bill Moehle. The features could include trees, rain gardens, and porous sidewalk pavement. And some of those same features will serve as buffers between pedestrians and vehicles, Moehle says.

“A lot of the things that help storm water help the appearance,” he says.

The project, which received a $1.6 million grant from the

state Environmental Facilities Corporation, is still in planning stages. Construction should start next year, Moehle says. If the project is successful, the same approach could be used along other streets or in other communities to address storm water issues, he says.

The green street project won’t directly address storm-related flooding at the Monroe-Clover intersection, Moehle says. But a state Department of Transportation project to rebuild Monroe between Clover and I-590 may provide some relief for that problem. The project is meant to address safety issues along that stretch of road, but DOT officials say that the plans also include upgraded storm drains.

Brenda Hardaway’s pregnancy doesn’t get her

POLICING | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

DEVELOPMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

Chief grilled over video Rochester Police Chief James Sheppard answered tough questions from City Council members last week over a provocative arrest video.

A video posted on YouTube last month shows a Rochester police officer struggling to subdue city resident Brenda Hardaway, 21.

Hardaway tells the officer several times that she is pregnant. At one point, the officer punches Hardaway in the back of the head and forces her to the ground.

The video provoked swift outrage and has some, including the local NAACP, calling for the police chief ’s resignation.

An internal review of the incident is under way. But Sheppard has said that Hardaway was physically aggressive with officers, and that she threatened them with pepper spray. (Hardaway has been indicted on six counts, including two felonies, by a grand jury.) Sheppard filled in more details to the story at last week’s meeting of City Council’s Public Safety Committee, made up of Loretta Scott, Matt Haag, Lovely Warren, and Adam McFadden Sheppard said that Hardaway exchanged punches with an officer before the recording started. He said he’d wait for the results of the review to determine if the arresting officer’s behavior was justified, but that Hardaway’s pregnancy doesn’t get her a free pass. Officers are expected to behave a certain way, Sheppard

And a couple of them PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN said that the chief ’s public response up to this point has been “a little insensitive to what people saw” on the video.

Council President Warren commended Sheppard for the community outreach he has done as chief, but said that incidents like the Hardaway video threaten to undermine the chief ’s good work and the public’s confidence in the police department.

Sheppard and the committee members talked about holding public meetings so the community and police can share perspectives and concerns.

“There just can’t be much more of this,” Warren said, without trying to bring the community together. She said that Rochester’s race riots of the 1960’s began with a relatively small incident that served as a flashpoint for long-simmering tensions.

Medley Centre developer Scott Congel met with representatives of the Monroe County Industrial Development Agency, the Town of Irondequoit, and the East Irondequoit Central School District last Friday to discuss Congel’s failure to live up to the terms of a tax agreement for the project. | Congel did not meet a $165 million investment deadline, and must make a sizeable penalty payment as a result. | East Irondequoit Deputy Superintendent John Abbott said after the meeting that Congel is supposed to send the district a proposal about how he plans to proceed with the project. That proposal may include postponing future benchmarks, Abbott said. But Irondequoit Supervisor Mary Joyce D’Aurizio said that’s out of the question until Congel makes good on a promise to demolish three buildings on East Ridge Road. | Congel has reportedly been in talks with the Seneca Nation of Indians about putting a casino at Medley Centre, although the tax agreement prohibits casino gambling. | Congel has also indicated that he’d like state assistance with the Medley project, but State Assembly member Joe Morelle said that Congel must first demonstrate that he’s committed to Medley.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Rochester teachers bruised by reviews Most teachers in the Rochester school district received the results of their first evaluations under the new state law last week, and most were rated either “effective” or “needs development,” says Adam Urbanski, president of the Rochester Teachers Association.

Four ratings were possible: highly effective, effective, needs development, and ineffective. Urbanski says that while he doesn’t have exact numbers, the scores fall into what resembles a bell curve with single-digit percentages at either end of the curve, in the highly effective and ineffective categories. The rest fall in the middle, he says.

Even though the largest percentage of teachers received a score of effective, Urbanski says that he doesn’t agree that only a small number of Rochester’s teachers are excellent at what they do, or that a significant number need to show improvement.

Urbanski and Rochester schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas have divergent views of the Annual Professional Performance Review’s value and accuracy. Vargas sees them as necessary and fair. And he says that the city’s teaching as well as its non-teaching staff needs to embrace a new culture of greater accountability.

“Great organizations have high accountability,” he says.

Urbanski says that accountability is important, but that he doesn’t agree with the APPR. “I think the whole thing with APPR is not only wrongheaded, but badly incompetent,” he says. “If [State Education] Commissioner King thinks they’re so wonderful, why don’t charter and private schools have to do them?”

Out of the district’s roughly 3,200 teachers, most have received their professional review, Urbanski says. About 100 haven’t received them, he says, even though the deadline has passed.

Late last week, the RTA held a special meeting to help teachers understand the scores and what to do if they want to appeal their results.

“We thought maybe 20 or 30 teachers would show up for that,” Urbanski says. “We had 300 teachers at that meeting.” Another meeting is scheduled for this week.

Teachers have 15 days after receiving their scores to file an appeal to a joint district-RTA panel, and Urbanski says that he expects many teachers to do so. The grounds for appeal range from failure to give special consideration to special education students or English language learners, to test scores attributed to students who didn’t take tests.

subpar teachers. Last year, Rochester school officials fired one teacher, district officials say, while another resigned under pressure. That’s less than 1 percent of the teaching work force, which some critics and former superintendents say doesn’t reflect the typical workplace.

Urbanski says it’s incomprehensible that a veteran teacher can receive a perfect score of 60 points out of 100 on professional practice, which is largely based on classroom observations by the teacher’s peers, and flunk the 40 percent based on results of state and local tests.

But Vargas says that it’s equally perplexing that teachers could get glowing scores from peers, even though their students are failing.

“You can’t have an education [system] where all the adults are doing fine and the kids are not,” Vargas says. “Any organization has to have an evaluation system that is fair to teachers, but it’s an evaluation system that is sound.”

Vargas says he’s not looking to fire teachers, but that more teachers will likely be fired for being ineffective as the APPR is fully implemented.

“The new evaluation system has some important elements,” he says. “A good evaluation system for teachers uses multiple measures, and this one does. A good evaluation system uses peer review. And it tries to get at the contribution that teachers make to student learning.”

Vargas says that the first thing the APPR does is identify teachers who need improvement. And he says that the district is committed to supporting these teachers with an improvement plan. The majority will improve, he says, but a small group will not, and they will need to be counseled out of the profession.

“It’s the job of educators to constantly improve,” Vargas says. “Even a highly effective teacher could improve.”

The APPR provides Superintendent Vargas

to develop a similar evaluation program for the district’s non-teaching staff. Half of the district’s

staff, including many central office employees don’t receive rigorous reviews, Vargas says.

And he says that he is much more careful about approving tenure recommendations. Some teachers and principals have been recommended for tenure even though they haven’t had an evaluation in years, Vargas says.

“The old system was indefensible,” he says. “You can’t have a system that has everybody effective and highly effective.

And you should never have had a system where people came to me with a tenure recommendation without an evaluation. It’s not the fault of the teachers, but we had a system in here that let a lot of people down.”

But Urbanski says that teachers unions

across the state are working with legislators to amend the APPR, specifically the portion pertaining to testing.

Urbanski says that if testing is going to be used, that it should be more performancebased — asking students to demonstrate what they know by applying their knowledge to a real-life situation. The latter assessment is more accurate, he says, than multiple choice.

And he says that although he supports Vargas’s quest for greater accountability, he doesn’t think that Vargas fully understands what the APPR is doing to teachers. Five teachers recently retired and 30 resigned as a result of their scores on the APPR, Urbanski says.

“I know Bolgen is not hunting for teachers,” he says. “But I’m worried that he doesn’t understand the hurt and humiliation this has caused.”

that it demands a response, we have a peculiar history to be taking the high road.

Former Reagan administration official David Stockman was in a fair rage in his Daily Beast article recently: “By the president’s own statements,” Stockman wrote, “the proposed attack is merely designed to censure the Syrian regime for allegedly visiting one particularly horrific form of violence on its own citizens.

“Well, really? After having rained napalm, white phosphorous, bunkerbusters, drone missiles, and the most violent machinery of conventional warfare ever assembled upon millions of innocent Vietnamese, Cambodians, Serbs, Somalis, Iraqis, Afghans, Pakistanis, Yemeni, Libyans, and countless more, Washington now presupposes to be in the moral sanctions business?”

Shane Harris and Matthew Aid’s article in Foreign Policy magazine adds to the list: In 1988, the Reagan administration knew that Saddam Hussein was planning to attack Iran with chemical weapons. It not only did nothing to stop him, it provided intelligence to help him with the attacks.

We seem to oppose the use of chemical weapons, in other words, when it suits our purpose.

7) While there’s apparently little question that chemical weapons have been used, the public hasn’t seen hard evidence linking the Assad regime to the atrocity in a Damascus suburb. And there are unconfirmed reports that the rebels, too, have used chemical weapons.

The public can’t be privy to every bit of classified information that the administration has. But some members of Congress who have heard the administration’s intelligence briefings say they aren’t persuaded that there’s firm proof of Assad’s guilt. The administration’s public, unclassified summary of its intelligence findings cites such information as “intelligence pertaining to the regime’s preparations for this attack and its means of delivery, multiple streams of intelligence about the attack itself and its effect, our postattack observations, and the differences between the capabilities of the regime and the opposition.”

The intelligence summary refers to a “high confidence assessment” – “the strongest position that the US Intelligence Community can take short of confirmation,” it says. For some members of Congress, “high confidence” isn’t good enough. In a Times op-ed article last weekend, Florida Representative Alan Grayson said that the administration

refuses to show members of Congress the intelligence reports and other documentation that back up the summary.

And yet: a justification for an attack

Some attack supporters argue that the credibility of the president and the country are at stake. That’s a terrible justification; human lives are an extravagant, and immoral, sacrifice for the reputation of a president or a nation.

But it isn’t just the credibility of Obama and the United States that is at stake. The credibility of international law is at stake.

This is an international concern. Action ought to be taken by the United Nations, but the UN faces the same kind of gridlock that we are watching in our own national government. That Russia and China are able to hold international law hostage shouldn’t paralyze the rest of the world.

Which brings us to the good reason for attacking: the need to respond to the use of chemical weapons, to try to uphold international law and discourage the further use of those weapons in Syria and elsewhere – and to discourage the use of nuclear weapons.

It seems clear that what Obama wants to do violates international law, which prohibits this kind of attack unless the United Nations Security Council authorizes it. In an op-ed piece in the Times last week, Yale law professors Oona Hathaway and Scott Shapiro argued that this law “may be even more important to the world’s security – and America’s – than the ban on the use of chemical weapons.”

Violations of international law are not unknown. We violated international law ourselves with our action in Kosovo. These things “add up,” Hathaway and Shapiro argue, “and each one makes it harder to hold others to the rules.” continues on page 8 rochestercitynewspaper.com

CITY 7

Options with Syria continues from page 7

If we attack Syria without Security Council authorization, Hathaway and Shapiro write, “it will be difficult, if not impossible, to stop others from a similar use of force down the line.”

But I don’t think it’s easy to decide which poses the greater risk, to the world’s security and our own: acting in the face of a chemical-weapons slaughter, or standing by. How do we predict which will have the least bad results?

I’m wavering, because the arguments against an attack are valid and strong.

But Obama’s argument, that the use of chemical weapons cannot go unanswered, is compelling.

Bullets and bombs are bad enough, whether they’re used in wars between nations or in a civil war. But chemical weapons are used in full knowledge that they will harm civilians. One of their purposes is to terrify and intimidate civilians. There is no conceivable justification for a government to turn that kind of horror loose on its own people or anybody else. That’s why their use has been against international law since 1925.

On the New York Times’ Opinionator blog, Timothy Egan noted a factor that is unfortunately having a big influence on the debate: “Bush hangover.”

George W. Bush’s action in Iraq, Egan wrote, “gave every world leader, every member of Congress a reason to keep the dogs of war on a leash.”

“The isolationists in the Republican Party are a direct result of the Bush foreign policy,” said Egan. “A war-weary public that can turn an eye from children being gassed — or express doubt that it happened — is another poisoned fruit of the Bush years. And for the nearly 200 members of both houses of Congress who voted on the Iraq war in 2002 and are still in office and facing a vote this month, Bush shadows them like Scrooge’s ghost.”

Decisions like this one have to be based on hard analysis of facts and moral principles, not on cloudy emotions and fearful over-reaction. We have to learn the lessons of history, but our recognition and understanding of past mistakes can’t paralyze us.

“I am informed by Vietnam,” John Kerry wrote on the Huffington Post. “And I am informed by Iraq, not imprisoned by it, either.”

President Obama is right: He did not draw the red line about Assad’s use of chemical weapons. The world did. We stood by for too long while Adolf Hitler carried out his genocide. Can we really stand by now?

And can we stand by knowing that our inaction prompts more horrors, in Syria and elsewhere? Because Assad isn’t the only one watching to see what we do. It is not a 8 CITY

SEPTEMBER 11-17, 2013

We stood by for too long while Adolf Hitler carried out his genocide. Can we really stand by now?” remote possibility that he will use chemical weapons again. And it is not a remote possibility that North Korea will take our inaction as a signal that the international community will not meddle, will leave it alone, no matter what it does, with chemical weapons or nuclear ones.

At some point, of course, the conscience of international leaders will be pricked, and the world will act. But by that time, the provocation for action will have been much larger, the deaths and suffering more extensive, the photographs more horrifying.

There is nothing false in David Stockman’s litany of America’s atrocities. (And he didn’t mention the biggest of them all, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.) But does that history remove our responsibility to act responsibly in the future? Does it sentence us to inaction?

The Times’ Nicholas Kristof, who supports an attack, cites the concerns of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which, he says, “is exasperated at Western doves who think they are taking a moral stance.”

And he quotes this from the Observatory’s website: “What is emerging in the United States and United Kingdom now is a movement that is anti-war in form but pro-war in essence.” And Kristof asks: Isn’t standing by the same as “‘being pro-Assad’ and resigning oneself to the continued slaughter of civilians?”

Many religious leaders are urging the US not to attack. Pope Francis has called for dialogue and negotiation.

But Assad has refused to negotiate. Russia has supplied aid, and until early this week, refused to put pressure on him. Sadly, there is no international outrage. And even if there were, would that stop Assad from doing whatever he feels he needs to do?

If no one but the US will do it, does mean it shouldn’t be done?

If not us, who? And when? What would stop Kim Jong-un? What will stop anyone?

Other than an attack on our own country, would anything ever warrant the use of our military against another country? If the gassing of 400 children doesn’t warrant it, what would?

URBAN ACTION This week’s calls to action include the following events and activities. (All are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted.)

Film about children of incarcerated parents

The Green Party of Monroe County and the Rochester Organization for Workplace Democracy will show “Solutionz,” a documentary film by local filmmaker Nicholle LaVann at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, September 16. The film looks at how incarceration impacts the lives of children. The film will be shown at the Phillis Wheatley Library, 33 Dr. Samuel McCree Way. A Q&A will follow the screening.

Mentors needed

The Judicial Process Commission is seeking volunteers to become mentors for people who are restarting their lives after incarceration. Mentors must attend training sessions on Monday, September 30, and Tuesday, October 1. For more information, call Valerie White-Whittick at 3257727 or jpc6@rocjpc.org.

Pro-choice rally

Women’s Equality, Liberation, and Defense will hold a “We Love Our Doctors” rally from 7:45 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, September 12.

The rally is in response to the Operation Save America and Rescue Rochester protests held near Strong hospital in July. The rally

will be held at Strong at the intersection of Kendrick and Crittenden roads.

Free community meal

Covenant United Methodist Church will provide a free fall community meal from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 11. Menu includes pulled pork on a bun, coleslaw, apple sauce, dessert, and beverage. The event will be held at 1124 Culver Road at the corner of Parsells Avenue. Everyone is welcome.

Correcting ourselves

The September 4 Urban Journal column, “What’s Next? Obama, Syria, and Congress,” erroneously stated that the War Powers Act requires the president to consult Congress. The reference should have been to the War Powers Resolution.

The September 4 cover story, “Unholy alliance,” contained an error. Pope John Paul II did not beatify Pope Pius XII. The canonization process actually began in 1965 under Pope Paul VI.

Vine and dine [ CHOW HOUND ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

At the risk of channeling Goldilocks, summer in Western New York can be too hot, winter too cold, and spring, while charming, a little too soggy. Autumn, however, is just right, a heady collision of beauty and bounty, especially in the Finger Lakes region. And it’s arguably the best time to do that winery tour you meant to make time for at some point over the last few months yet never got around to planning.

Now, seasoned tasters know that you’re not supposed to actually drink all those samples, instead finding a way to get the wine from your mouth to the spittoon in a classy fashion. Realistically, though, some of that liquid is headed down your throat, so you should probably eat something unless you plan on sleeping it off in the vineyard.

Fortunately, many Finger Lakes wineries also have restaurants on their acreage, the chefs taking creative advantage of the local products in both their literal and figurative backyards. What follows is by no means a comprehensive guide to these one-stop shops, but it’s a start. Do you have your favorite local winery-based restaurant? Tell us about it in the comments section of this article at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

Oftentimes a Finger Lakes wine tour will begin and end on Route 414, which snakes along the eastern flank of Seneca Lake and is jam-packed with wineries; in one particularly concentrated stretch you’ll come across such venerable names as Lamoreaux Landing, Sheldrake Point, Silver Thread, Standing Stone, Hazlitt 1852, and, just off

the main drag, Red Newt Cellars, known as much for its excellent bistro as its highly rated wines. Current releases are sampled on a daily basis, and dinner is served at the bistro Thursday through Saturday, with a threecourse menu offered nightly for $45. But Red Newt’s Tasting Salon is both an efficient and indulgent way to experience what Finger Lakes food and wine can do in concert. A flight of four wines accompanies several small plates, the compositions evolving with the seasons and currently featuring a salad of roasted beets, bitter greens, red onion, mint, and verjus vinaigrette; ravioli stuffed with roasted zucchini, summer squash, chèvre, and cheddar; and a smoked-salmon spread as well as soup, brie, pickled vegetables, and bread.

The Tasting Salon is offered daily noon-3 p.m., and at just $25 per person, reservations aren’t a bad idea. (3675 Tichenor Road, Hector, 607-546-4100, rednewt.com)

Glenora Wine Cellars was the first winery

on the wine labels after being prevented from using it by the Coca-Cola Company, Bully Hill Vineyards has long been one of the Finger Lakes’ most popular destinations, and its seasonal menu reflects the Keuka Lake winery’s unpretentious trappings. Meats smoked over locally harvested applewood, small plates, and entrées are available, and both vegetarian and gluten-free options are helpfully denoted. (8843 Greyton H. Taylor

Castle overlooks Seneca Lake and boasts — in

Memorial Drive, Hammondsport, 607-8683610, bullyhillvineyards.com)

Road, Geneva, 315-781-0201, belhurst.com)

Castel Grisch, which is situated on the

southwest side of Seneca Lake, was originally founded by a Swiss family, and the European influence is evident in its impressive roster of red, white, and ice wines, as well as its restaurant’s predominantly German menu.

You’ll encounter old-world favorites like goulash, sauerbraten, and a number of schnitzels, all of which are showcased — along with wursts, strudels, and more — as part of the German buffet, offered at dinner on Fridays and Saturdays. (3380 County Road 28, Watkins Glen,

on Seneca Lake, and today its highlights include a 30-room inn and the acclaimed restaurant Veraisons. The menu is both seasonal and regional whenever possible, with suppliers getting name-checked in the appetite-whetting descriptions of current dishes like grilled scarlet snapper served with pinto beans from Cayuga Pure Organics, as well as a house-rubbed ribeye accompanied by a barbecue sauce that’s been spiked with McKenzie Bourbon from Finger Lakes Distilling. (5435 State Route 14, Dundee, 800-

On 150 acres alongside Cayuga Lake you’ll find the Thirsty Owl Wine Company, a relatively young but award-winning winery with a bistro that offers an eclectic menu of locally sourced and seasonally available vittles.

Small plates include curried cauliflower and Jamaican jerk pork belly, as well as burgers and other sandwiches, like a BLT starring house-smoked bacon. (6861 Route 89, Ovid,

addition to overnight accommodations, a spa, and of course a winery — not one, but two restaurants. The upscale Edgar’s offers steaks, seafood, and pasta, while the comparatively laid-back Stonecutter’s (resist urge to make “Simpsons” joke here) has a tavern vibe, the menu showcasing fresh salads, inventive sandwiches, and other dishes to pair with wines from Belhurst and beyond. (4069 West Lake Cayuga Ridge Estate Winery can be found on the shores of — you guessed it — Cayuga Lake, where the Challen family specializes in white wines and, at The Copper Oven, woodfired pizza from a three-ton oven lined with Provençal clay. Besides the pizzas and their locally sourced toppings, The Copper Oven also serves salads and desserts, along with cheese and charcuterie selections. (6800 Route

89, Ovid, 607-869-5158, cayugaridgewinery.com)

But maybe wine isn’t really your thing.

Sneak off from the group at Seneca Lake’s Wagner Vineyards and instead do a tour and tasting at its sister outfit, Wagner Valley Brewing Company. Either way, the Ginny Lee Café has you covered, with pairings of both beer and wine recommended with its starters, soups, sandwiches, and salads. Even those abstaining from alcohol can still get some local flavor thanks to Wagner’s housemade root beer and blush grape juice.

Icicle FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 DUBLAND UNDERGROUND, 315 ALEXANDER ST. 10 P.M. | $10 [ DJ/ELECTRONIC ] Since the mid-nineties, drum and

bass has enjoyed a particularly devoted following Rochester.

Some credit for this can surely be pinned on the local Jungle Bums crew, whose legendary Thursday nights provided a reliable outpost for western NY’s legion of junglists. More recently another collective, Roc City Bass has kept the torch burning. On Saturday, September 13, these two mighty forces align to bring highly-acclaimed Dutch DJ/producer Icicle to Dubland Underground. Much like his moniker, Icicle’s techno-laced sound is cold, crystalline, and daggersharp. With summer’s warmth dwindling, you’d be hardpressed to find a more appropriate soundtrack. Local guns Bones Jones and DJ Bittle will open.

But, Carolina and her washboard are resting up in the Catskills as she gets ready to have a baby. So, the Hot Mess (and some friends of its own) is coming to Rochester in her stead.

combine forces with local experimental act Squanto to bring Rochester a peaceful night of music. The two pair very well together, as both acts make complex, yet idyllic folk music. Squanto’s music is ambient in nature; the artist reaches beyond the folk singer-songwriter label by combining those qualities with an apparent affection for noise. Old Soul combines its use of traditional folk elements with warm horn arrangements and popinspired vocals and melodies, as well as occasionally delving into a gypsy-folk groove. — BY LEAH CREARY

Sleight of foot [ REVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

Sometimes for fun I pretend that the people on the dance floor aren’t actually dancing to music and try to deconstruct what they are saying with their bodies. Do this with disco and you’ll laugh milk through your nose. Do this with zydeco and you’ll see celebration of un-self-aware joy.

I’m not sure what they call it but it looks like a Texas two step with less boot scoot and more of a bounce between beats. And because of the music’s strict and regimented tempo, dancers are free to flip in and out of time as their mood and dancing ability dictates. This all became apparent to me while digging next-in-line zydeco royalty Andre Thierry & Zydeco Magic Thursday night at Sticky Lips Juke Joint. All the zydeco junkies were there and crowded the dance floor with their jubilant booty shake and boogie. Thierry and his band came out swingin’ with that delicious back beat that defines and drives the music. But

what sets Thierry apart is his highly developed and melodic right hand ala Clifton Chenier; the cat doesn’t just pump and squeeze but interweaves melodic runs that add counter rhythms to the counter rhythms’ sleight of hand meets sleight of foot. It was a beautiful push and pull between the band and the crowd. Abracadabra, it was pure zydeco magic.

From that slick show to casual barroom rock ’n’ blues, Saturday night I was down at Johnny’s Pub to check out Dan Schmidt and the Shadows dig into a grab bag of pre-white dominated gems like Fats Domino and Chuck Berry. This will always rewind my clock like going to church, but with a lot less guilt and prettier chicks.

Schmidt is an excellent guitar player who sparkles without flash, usinf the whole neck to get what he wants. The beer-hoisting crowd that filled the joint got what they wanted, too.

Music an experience of rock ’n’ roll as I think it should be. You get there, you’re a part of it, you’re dancing. Our music is dance music.

That’s the music that’s always got to me, because it makes you move. At our shows even the biggest squares are going to shake a little tail feather. And that’s the goal.

What’s with the cassette tape releases?

Bushen: While we were recoding, my

shitty car only had a cassette player in it. So I wanted to make something that I could listen to while I was driving around. We found this old reel-to-reel tape machine that we used to record the album on and then put it on tape. So it was all kind of an analog-tape thing.

Isn’t that limiting how many people get to hear you?

Bushen: Tapes never really went away.

Rochester rock band Harmonica Lewinski tries to bring some of the fun back to rock ‘n’ roll, incorporating video, using props, and recording on old-school cassette tapes. PHOTO PROVIDED

When you think of the fringes of rock music, punk, and more underground stuff, people have always been putting out tapes.

And tape is fun. You can record over it if you don’t like it. But all our music is downloadable, too.

Keeping it reel to reel

What was one of your best shows, and what was one of your worst shows that maybe made you want to quit?

[ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

band, but we’ve definitely had some best and worse shows. We try to get into Skylark like every month or so. We have the best shows there.

Harmonica Lewinski W/CATL, THE GINGER FAYE BAKERS, COSMIC WAIL FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 BUG JAR, 219 MONROE AVE. 9 P.M. | $7-$9 | BUGJAR.COM HARMONICALEWINSKI.BANDCAMP.COM

Harmonica Lewinski: you can’t wave a name like this under my nose and expect me to pass up the opportunity to be a wiseass. So let’s get this out of the way: Harmonica Lewinski doesn’t suck. In fact, the band blows me away. There, I feel better.

It goes without saying that this band is a smirk personified. But its lo-fi, psychedelic, psycho surf go-go is positively brilliant. It’s trashy in the spirit of, say, The Cramps or The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion or Royal Trux.

The reverb-drenched throb and drone is akin to the trippy side of garage rock.

If this kind of stuff turns you on, then Harmonica Lewinski is the only band 12 CITY SEPTEMBER 11-17, 2013

you’ll ever need. They band has four current releases (several on cassettes — you heard me, cassettes). Another is on the way, along with a 7” record on deck.

Band members Joe Bushen and Jeremiah Richards stopped by my crib with a six pack and a mannequin head named Debbie. Debbie was the interview proxy for absentee band members Lindsay Everett, Docks Bushen, and Daniel Eustice, who couldn’t make it.

We discussed the joys of analog, the recyclability of cassette tapes, the thrill of a great show, and whether or not the band’s infamous intern namesake knows who Harmonica Lewinski is. Debbie didn’t say much. Come to think of it, neither did Richards. An edited transcript of the interview follows.

CITY: What was the idea going into the birth of this band?

Joe Bushen: Maximum rock ’n’ roll,

maximum fun. We just wanted to start something based on all the music we liked to listen to, just have a good time, and never take it too seriously.

Besides music, what are some other elements you plug into the band?

Bushen: There are so many other

elements besides music with rock ’n’ roll. Visual is always a big thing with us.

We always have some kind of props or something. We like to make videos a lot and utilize that medium.

Has that extended the band’s reach beyond Rochester?

Bushen: I guess if it’s on YouTube anyone

can see it. But I think our focus so far has been here in Rochester, just trying to be the best band around here. If that takes off, great — we can go somewhere else.

What’s missing in local rock ’n’ roll? What gap does Harmonica Lewinski fill?

Jeremiah Richards: Fun is missing in rock

’n’ roll, I think. I’d been to a lot of shows and I never really had any fun.

Bushen: You see a lot of bands, people are standing there. Maybe they’re enjoying it, whatever. You can’t tell. Come to one of our shows, you’re going to see people dancing around having a great time, dressing up in costumes… it’s more of

Do you ever run into fans that don’t get you?

Bushen: Some. If they don’t, they probably

just don’t come back. Some people probably hate us. I don’t feel like it’s something to get. We’re not some huge joke. If you come and you like what you hear and want to get a little weird... I want to make the best sounding music and put out cool records.

Hitting the road at all?

Bushen: We’ve been to Medina, Fulton,

Dansville — that’s what I was going to say our worst show was. We were playing this old theater. Somebody ended up unplugging all our stuff while we were playing, which is pretty bad.

What does Monica Lewinski think of the band? Have you heard from her?

Bushen: We’re still waiting for that call.

Greentopia has the allure of Sir Thomas More’s “Utopia:” 6 days at High Falls packed with music, films, design, and summits on creating a sustainable future. Nestled in this programming is a three-day classical series, flying under program titles like Schubert’s “Trout Quartet” (featuring the Ying Quartet and friends from the Eastman School of Music) and “Rochester Sings!” (featuring the Rochester Oratorio Society, Greater Rochester Choral Consortium, Rochester Lyric Opera). The highlight for me will be John Luther Adams’ “Inuksuit,” a 70-minute performance piece of experimental outdoor music with 66 percussionists, who will be spread from the Pont de Rennes, along Brown’s Race, and on rooftops, so that you can walk through the sound experience. Be sure to pull the complete schedule, as I’m only touching highlights, and the opportunity to experience everything from early classical to experimental performance classical together should be right up there with bald eagles on an “endangered list.”

When I think of a one-man band, I can’t help but picture Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. As memorable a character as Bert the Chimney Sweep is Keller Williams has got him beat. K-Dub, as he is known to many on the festival circuit, often utilizes an array of loop pedals and a plethora of finely-tuned instruments to create a full, textured sound on stage all by himself. This “one-man jam band” has a quirky songwriting style that mixes elements of bluegrass, funk, electronica, jazz, rock, and reggae. Whether Williams breaks out all the toys, or sits on a stool with an acoustic, he is a treat. Don’t miss it.

POP/ROCK | RESTORATIONS

JAZZ | HOWARD ALDEN/BOB SNEIDER

Maybe it’s the effortlessly ragged vocals, but I’ve got a suspicion that Philadelphia’s Restorations is influenced by The Replacements. The pop intensity and epic attack in the face of rock simplicity doesn’t hurt either. The band has gentle spots but for the most part rocks relentless and true — two things I expect out of listening experience.

Though Restorations is forward thinking and sounding, there’s just enough referential familiarity to ease your diving right in unaware. Don’t be afraid to try this band on and walk around a bit. You’ll be glad you did.

With his brilliant technique and gorgeous solos Howard Alden turns heads every time he picks up his seven string guitar. In addition to releasing 30 albums as a leader, Alden has collaborated with some of the top names in jazz, including Benny Carter, Mel Tormé, and Clark Terry. When he visits Rochester he’ll be joined by our own guitar hero, Bob Sneider, who has toured with Chuck Mangione and shared the stage with Wynton Marsalis, Eric Alexander, and many more.

Restorations performs with New Archery, Declan Ryan & Close Calls, and Tim Avery on Sunday, September 15, 8 p.m., at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave., $8-$10, bugjar.com — BY FRANK DE BLASE Turner Brown. McGraw’s Irish Pub, 146 W Commercial St. East Rochester. 348-9091. mcgrawsirishpub.com.

The nonprofit organization TED began in 1984 as a conference to bring together individuals working in the realms of technology, education, and design, and is devoted to promoting, in its words, “ideas worth spreading.” By the end of 2012 TEDx sessions — officially licensed franchised versions of TED — had been held in 1200 cities around the world. Many of the talks have spread like social media wildfires, the more inspiring of them going viral online. Many of the talks serve to challenge our assumptions about what the world needs, or else to jumpstart our apathetic and anxious slumber.

The 5th Annual TEDxRochester Talks will be held on Monday, November 4, at the Rochester Museum and Science Center’s Strasenburgh Planetarium. In anticipation of the audience application period, we caught up with organizers to discuss previous talks, what they mean for our city, and what Rochester can expect for this year’s event.

Many people who have been exposed to TED talks will excitedly tell you about their favorites. One of my favorites, by Dr. Marcel Dicke of the Netherlands, offered some of the

best arguments I’ve ever heard for turning from mammals to the abundant insect family to assuage current and future famines. I’m totally convinced by the logically sound case he made, though my anesthetic western training has me utterly unprepared for action on that front.

And as an individual, tackling an entire food system seems daunting, impossible.

This is where TEDx conferences come in.

Individuals may apply to hold independent TED talk events in their own city, which often provide a more local focus. While TED gives a healthy dose of inspiration on an international level, TEDxRochester is a day-long series of short lectures that focuses on what people are trying to accomplish in our city.

“Our guideline for ourselves has always been to include speakers who are either from Rochester or have made their impact here,” says Tony Karakashian, founder of TEDxRochester.

“They live here, they know what the problems are, and they want to effect change,” he says.

The talks are about creating community, doing what is manageable, and inspiring other communities to do the same.

TEDxRochester isn’t the only game in town,

though at five years it’s the most experienced

of them. TED doesn’t license to a geographical area, says Karakashian; the organization licenses to an individual. TEDxFlourCity held its second event this past spring, and several high schools and colleges have held their own events. “There’s more than 12 great ideas every year in Rochester, so there is plenty of room for it,” says Karakashian.

I found being a part of last year’s TEDxRochester audience to be an invigorating experience. The lectures-on-speed were split into two sections divided by a lunch break, and followed by enthusiastic continued discussions during a cocktail/networking hour. Tables in the lobby featured groups such as Rochester Makerspace. Featured speakers included 1975 Gallery director Erich Lehman’s talk on defining moments in his life that have pushed him to seize every single day; Davin Searls of Discovering Deaf Worlds, who explained why Rochester is a model community for deaf culture and empowerment; and Rochester Subway’s Mike Governale, who remains certain that a shift from car-centric cities is our best bet.

Organizing a knowledge-spreading conference was a natural move for Karakashian, who works in information continues on page 38

CITY NEWSPAPER'S PREVIEW OF THE 2013 ROCHESTER FRINGE FESTIVAL

RETURN OF THE FRINGE

INTRODUCTION | BY ERIC REZSNYAK

A year ago Rochester still didn’t really know what to expect from a Fringe festival. But after five days of dancing on buildings, light shows, A-list comedians, improvisational puppets, gospel choirs, geriactors, drag queens, kids shows, physical theater, and dozens of other acts, the people got it. More than 32,000 people turned out for the festival’s inaugural year, way outpacing organizers’ expectations. In response, the 2013 First Niagara Rochester Fringe Festival has expanded to 10 days, taking place September 19-28. That’s double the time to take in all the dance, visual art, music, comedy, theater, and family shows being offered up in 28 venues in downtown Rochester.

The Rochester Fringe Festival is put on by a nonprofit corporation kickstarted by some of the area’s key cultural institutions, including Geva Theatre Center, the George Eastman House, Garth Fagan Dance, and Eastman School of Music, among others.

What makes Fringe different from other arts festivals is that participating venues curate their own shows. Acts applied in spring 2013 and the various theaters, galleries, cafes, etc. picked the shows that best fit their venues.

Tickets for Fringe shows vary per venue, typically ranging between $6 and $16 with dozens of events totally free of charge. (The headlining acts in Kodak Hall and the Spiegeltent have higher ticket prices; see details below.) Tickets are available online at

2013 FRINGE FESTIVAL

BANDALOOP

Good dance performances are often mesmerizing. When they’re done in slow motion on the side of skyscrapers, bridges, and billboards? Then they’re epic. That’s what makes San Francisco-based BANDALOOP one of the most captivating dance acts in the world. The performances are so unique, they almost seem like they couldn’t be real. But they are real, and they’re spectacular.

BANDALOOP made a big splash as one of the headliners of last year’s Rochester Fringe Festival, drawing more than 10,000 spectators to its performances. This year it will again take the stage (well, the side of a building) at HSBC Plaza (100 Chestnut St.) on Friday, September 20, at 8 p.m., and Saturday, September 21, at 4 p.m.

The best vantage place for spectators is Manhattan Square Park.

Watching BANDALOOP is free, though food and drink will be for sale in the park. On Friday night free entertainment will be available 5-9 p.m. as part of Friday on the Fringe. — BY TREVOR LEWIS 20 CITY SEPTEMBER 11-17, 2013

DAVE BARRY

Dave Barry has written more than 30 books, and at one point his newspaper column appeared in more than 500 papers nationwide. He won the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for commentary (which he misplaced for several years), and his newest book, “Insane City,” has drawn rave reviews from critics and readers alike. On Friday, September 27, Rochester will get a chance to get the inside scoop from the man the New York Times declared the funniest man in America.

Barry takes the stage at 8 p.m. at the Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre (60 Gibbs St.), and tickets cost $20-$65. — BY TREVOR LEWIS

CITY NEWSPAPER'S PREVIEW OF THE 2013 ROCHESTER FRINGE FESTIVAL

SERIOUSLY FUNNY

INTERVIEW | BY RON NETSKY

MARC

MARON

Comedian Marc Maron has sometimes had trouble fitting in over the course of his twodecade career. He’s had problems with drugs and alcohol, two failed marriages, and a radio show that got cancelled. But for a Fringe festival, Maron may be the perfect fit.

A few years ago, with no prospects on traditional media and few comedy gigs on his calendar, he started a podcast. All he needed was a Mac computer with GarageBand and a recording studio --- his Los Angeles garage.

He called it, appropriately enough, “WTF” (“What The Fuck”) and, from the outer margins of the media world, he built it into a successful business.

In the meantime his bookings increased, he landed a sitcom (“Maron,” which will return for a second season on the Independent Film Channel next year), and he recently published a memoir, “Attempting Normal.”

“WTF” has a simple format: 10 or 15 minutes of Maron’s monologue, which could be about a near-death experience or about going to the bathroom, and 45 minutes to an hour of conversation with his featured guest. Over the course of more than 400 podcasts he’s interviewed almost every comedian on the face of the earth

and a host of filmmakers, actors, writers, and rock stars.

The conversations go deep. Carlos Mencia defends himself against accusations of joke-stealing. Robin Williams explores a bout with alcoholism. Louis C.K. and Maron get into an emotional exchange about their past relationships and C.K.’s failed marriage that brings C.K. to tears.

A biography on Maron’s website quotes a fan who told him: “You’re like an Iggy Pop Woody Allen.” That about nails it. He’s cerebral and philosophical but in a raw, primal-scream kind of way. His book and podcast can make you literally laugh out loud or make you wonder about the paths you’ve chosen in life.

Maron and I crossed paths in the late 1970’s when, as a teenager, he attended Lighthouse Art and Music Camp in Pennsylvania. I was teaching art and he was studying guitar with my brother, Steve. He remembers it well.

“That had a profound effect on me the two years I went there,” said Maron. “It was a mind-blowing place for kids that were into the art thing. I don’t even know if a camp like that could exist now. Jesus, they let us smoke there. It was crazy.”

Comedian Marc Maron, one of the headliners of the 2013 Rochester Fringe Festival, averages nearly 3 million downloads per month for his podcast, “WTF.” On it he has interviewed comedy legends as wide-ranging as Mel Brooks and Louis C.K. PHOTO BY LEIGH RIGHTON

When I reached Maron by phone we talked about how he got into comedy and some of the comedians he admired. But we mostly spoke about the psychological stresses of comedy and why it’s so important to him. The following is an edited version of our conversation.

CITY: What was your childhood like?

Marc Maron: My parents were very

young when they had me and they were

both from New Jersey. What was that old joke I had? They belonged to the first generation of Jews to move as far away from their parents as possible for reasons other than fleeing a country.

Somehow or another we ended up in New Mexico. We were dramatically displaced East Coast Jews growing up in Northern New Mexico. They were both fundamentally selfish people but I think they meant well.

Did any particular comedians inspire you when you were young?

I remember being profoundly affected by stand-ups on television, primarily watching people on “The Merv Griffin Show” or “The Mike Douglas Show” after school.

I remember seeing Don Rickles, Buddy Hackett, Jay Leno even, early on. The first season of “Saturday Night Live” was mind blowing to me. I thought that was the best thing in the world. I was 13 or 14 years old.

The first comedy show I went to, I believe, was George Carlin when I was in fourth or fifth grade. That was pretty monumental. And also seeing Richard Pryor’s “Live In Concert” movie when I was in high school was a pretty lifechanging experience.

You’ve called Pryor the greatest comedian of them all. Why?

Because he put his heart on the line. You felt like when he was doing comedy he was all in it and there was a lot of emotional risk there.

Some of the most legendary comedians — Pryor, Lenny Bruce, Freddie Prinze — had a pretty rough time. What is it about comedy that attracts so many troubled people?

It was pointed out to me that there are plenty of plumbers with drug problems. I think because celebrities are celebrities, the ones that go off the rails draw a lot of attention because people want to connect that trouble to that disposition. But I’m not sure in terms of proportions or percentages that there are not just as many drug addicts and alcoholics in other professions. So I think that struggle is organic to an individual.

I don’t know if it’s related to the business I’m in, but I think that creative people are overly sensitive and it’s a lot to shoulder sometimes. I don’t think people do it for relief; there’s an alcoholic or drugaddicted disposition.

But comics are there on the stage alone.

There’s not even a guitar between them and the audience. Do you see that as a vulnerable position or a powerful one?

It’s different for everybody. After a certain point the ability to get on stage, for most comics, is just part of the job. Eventually you lose that fear of taking the stage.

Once that goes away you’re freed up to do whatever you are going to do.

But being up there, that struggle to create new material, or finding the courage to explore different things -- that’s pretty rough stuff. The struggle that goes on when you don’t do new stuff, or you don’t take chances, or the self-criticism you put yourself through --- all of that stuff is part of it.

But the idea of being on stage, or getting on stage, after a certain point --- and it took

me a long time --- the fear goes away. And then you have the freedom that wasn’t there before, because you’re no longer pretending not to be afraid.

So what are you going to do up there?

That becomes the real battle. I think it’s different for all comics. Some comics offer a lot of themselves, some settle on the part of them that’s evolved into the performer they are. They’re professional about it. But the ones that really take emotional risks up there are rare, and they do seem a bit troubled.

You would put yourself in that category, wouldn’t you?

Yes. I’m not going to compare myself with anybody, but I do know from my own experience that getting up there, I want a relationship with the audience that will enable me to push myself. So I do have emotional expectations. It’s not spoken and only I can feel it, but I don’t want to be at odds with an audience. I want to connect, and it’s not just about getting laughs. It’s beyond the job.

On a recent podcast with Douglas Rushkoff, who writes about the dangers of the digital world, you coined the phrase, “Big data is watching you.” But that’s kind of ironic because I can’t think of a person who has willingly exposed more about his life than you have.

The inner life goes on beyond the time I spend doing monologues at the beginnings of those podcasts, or the hour or two I spend on stage. I still wake up with me and there’s some sort of private ongoing ebb and flow of emotion, fears, and everything else.

It’s still framed in a certain way. If you really look at the living my life and thinking my thoughts versus the time spent where I’m publicly talking about them, there’s still a lot of privacy there in my head.

On your podcast, you seem to inspire other comedians, like Louis C.K., Robin Williams, and Carlos Mencia, to reveal a great deal of pretty heavy personal stuff.

I don’t like the pathology framework, the idea of therapy. I just think they’re heartfelt conversations. I think the reason they happen is I feel very close to people fairly quickly based on very little emotional evidence.

I have an ability to become fairly deeply codependent with somebody I’ve made assumptions of in terms of who they are.

Also, I have an emotional need that persists to connect with somebody in a real way, to really feel like I’m in an authentic exchange. I think that that, coupled with talking to peers, and also having learned to be a more empathetic listener, is how those elements of the conversations evolve.

CITY NEWSPAPER'S PREVIEW OF THE 2013 ROCHESTER FRINGE FESTIVAL

CRITIC PICKS

City’s art writers sound off on their most-anticipated shows at

FRINGE 2013

This year you’ve got double the time to take in all the dance, visual art, music, comedy, theater, and family shows being offered up in 28 venues in downtown Rochester.

I guess the group’s term “physical storytelling” sums it up as well as any other description.

PUSH Physical Theatre creates a sensation wherever it appears, and it is back again after great success at last year’s Fringe Festival. This year’s program of three shows includes the Rochester premiere of “Red Ball” (featuring PUSH + iPads), and a previous favorite, “Job,” which matches PUSH with a giant, spinning, steel wheel. (Saturday, September 21, 4 p.m. &

DAVID RAYMOND

Writers & Books, $10) “The Goldberg Variations” Not to be confused with the play “33 Variations”; those variations are Beethoven’s. The background for this performance piece by John Borek and Rebecca Solomon is J.S. Bach’s great set of keyboard variations. Bach’s music, along with actors and dancers, is enlisted to tell an unsettling story: the collision (often disastrous) between German and Jewish cultures over three centuries. (Sunday,

September 22, 9 p.m., MuCCC, $8)

“Macbeth: Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair”

Along with all its other good work, Webster’s CDS Monarch sponsors the Monarch Players, an acting troupe of performers with and without disabilities. The group is not afraid to tackle the biggies: the Players’ presentation of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” was a sell-out at last 24 CITY SEPTEMBER 11-17, 2013

year’s Fringe Festival, and it will be back this year, retelling another Shakespeare tragedy — the “Scottish Play” — through spoken word, dance, and music. (Saturday, September 28, 2 p.m., Blackfriars Theatre, $11)

“New Eyes” It got rave reviews in Los

Angeles, has toured America to equal acclaim, and now Israeli-American actress Yafit Josephson’s “New Eyes” will play the Rochester Fringe Festival, and later the JCC CenterStage. Josephson’s script ranges from hilarious to dead serious as she illustrates how her mandatory service in the Israeli army led to an acting career in the United States — one specializing in villains and terrorists. Based on clips, she gives a funny and moving one-woman performance, playing 18 characters from five different countries. (Saturday, September 28, 8 p.m., TheatreRocs Stage at Xerox Auditorium, $16)

“The Old Maid and The Thief” Gian Carlo Menotti’s one-act opera, a whimsical variation on the old farmer’s daughter and traveling salesman story, is not performed much anymore, though it was a staple of school and small companies for decades. Rochester Lyric Opera and RAPA offer the chance to catch an American classic with some very fresh young talent – area high-school teenagers, directed by local actor made good Kevin Green. (Saturday,

September 21, 10 p.m. & Monday, September 23, 7 p.m., RAPA’s East End Theatre, $10)

PUSH Physical Theatre presents PUSH Plus PUSH is not dance, not pantomime, but

it is definitely theater, and a very pure form of theater and a surprisingly profound experience.

REBECCA RAFFERTY

“The 24-Hour Plays” I have to admit, this sounds like my worst nightmare: being forced to conceive, write, memorize, and perform six short plays in 24 hours. (It took me longer than that to write this paragraph.) However, I do know there are stouter souls than I out there, and I look forward to seeing them grapple with this theatrical challenge. It does sound like “theater at its most raw and immediate,” as it is advertised — and it might be theater at its most fun, too. (Monday, September 23, 8 p.m.,

Stop in at Java’s Cafe (16 Gibbs St.) during your Fringe Fest travels and take in “Communication,” a collection of Scholl’s playful, wearable art that combines clean lines of fabric with household materials. Each of the five pieces is inspired by the unsuccessful, often nonverbal, and unrevealed interactions of life.

suburban upstate New York, “Crocodile” begins as a typical enough story, with 17-year-old Ernest, an awkward highschool senior who, while navigating the painful path to adulthood, falls hard for the new girl in town. Truly getting to know someone happens in stages, and soon enough, our hero learns that his new girlfriend, Sasha, has more complexities than she initially owns. Presented by Brain Crane, the screening is free to attend, and recommended for ages 17 and older. (Friday,

Everybody Dancing If you

don’t like to just watch, Thomas Warfield’s “Everybody Dancing: The Interactivity of Creativity and Innovation” is an audience-participatory (optional) presentation and performance that examines the effect of everyday movement communication, gesture, and dance on our lives and relationships. In addition to Warfield, RIT assistant professor in NTID’s Cultural and Creative Studies Department, members of the RIT/NTID Dance Company will take part. Company members run the gamut from deaf to hearing-impaired to hearing.

The workshop/performance is a project of PeaceArt International Inc., a non-profit outreach organization Warfield started in 1990 to use the creative process and the arts to build community and foster world peace. (Saturday, September 28, 3:30 p.m., Little Theatre 1, Free) Futurpointe Dance “PsychoPomp & Pageantry” Futurpointe dancers train in

projection art and short theatrical vignettes into four acts choreographed by Guy Thorne, N’Jelle Gage, and Heather Roffe. Look to be transported as the choreographers act as artistic guides of the expressed ritual and customs in a nonnarrative format. And psychopomp? Those are traditionally angels, deities, Valkyries, or other creatures that help transport the spirit of the deceased to the next world.

(Saturday, September 21, 9 p.m. & Sunday, September 22, 1:30 and 9:30 p.m., Geva Theatre Nextstage, $16) “The Goldilocks Score and Other Dances” Red Dirt Dance is a

contemporary company formed by Karl Rogers. Originally from Oklahoma, Rogers is now an assistant professor of dance at Brockport. He has danced with the highly regarded contemporary group David Dorfman Dance; now Rogers choreographs and dances for his own company.

During Fringe it will be presenting “The Goldilocks Score” in a split bill of works by Rogers and Paul Matteson.

Rogers’ world premiere “We Too Cling” imagines a conversation between two 20th century artists, the playwright Tennessee Williams and the pop-art painter David Hockney. Matteson, also a Dorfman

dancer, gives us “Take it OVER,” his newest work. The production is recommended for mature audiences only. (Thursday, September 19, 6 p.m. & Friday, September 20, 6 p.m., Geva Theatre Nextstage, $16) Mariah Maloney Dance Mariah Maloney brings a wealth of rich experience to the Rochester dance scene.

For almost 10 years she was a principal dancer with the Trisha Brown Dance Company, a company at the forefront of the postmodern dance movement.

Her company, Mariah Maloney Dance, performed at the prestigious Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival last summer.

Maloney’s new piece, “LIGHT,” was partially inspired by a sparkler dance her father performed for her as a young child, when they were living in an Alaskan cabin with no electricity. Her dancers wear LED costumes, so we should be in for some stunning visuals.

Not to mention movement. (Thursday,

Hansen performed with both modern and ballet companies for 15 years before forming his own widely touring company.

His choreography has been produced by such prestigious dance festivals as Jacob’s Pillow. Hansen will present his newest piece, “Stag Line,” which uses a sound design he created from 1960’s sitcom dialogue, Frank Sinatra, Shirley Bassey, and more. Roffe premieres a piece that deals with the personal and social perspectives of fear. (Wednesday, September

The work was created at the artistic direction of Eran David P. Hanlon in collaboration with Olivieri, and by visual artist Joseph Tarantelli, with the assistance of Asuka Hiraoka. Hanlon choreographed Olivieri’s movement to relate to the projected video, his documentary “FALL WINTER SPRING,” which shows the creation of the painting which shares the same name. Hanlon describes “Transient Being” as a metaphor for the inextricable simultaneity of creation and destruction.

Fringe. There’s no more immediate way to get back in touch with your childlike sense of wonder than a circus aerial and acrobatics show. But when you meld that to the more adult entertainments of cabaret and burlesque, it’s bound to make for an unforgettable experience.

The show will deliver a lineup of 11 national acts, showing off their skills and performing an array of breathtaking feats. Held in the already glitzy Magic Crystal Spiegeltent, there will be no shortage of good old-fashioned razzle dazzle on display. It’s an evening that promises to be magical, astounding, and a little bit naughty.

“All Your Questions Answered”

The vague description for this show -- “an evening of short, silly, subversive, satirical plays, and charming musical numbers” -- makes it sound innocuous enough. But when that material is springing from the mind of Greg Kotis (a two-time Tony Award-winner for the acerbic musical “Urinetown”), it promises to be anything but. I’m not entirely sure what to expect, and truthfully, that makes it all the more exciting.

A new addition to this year’s Fringe Festival, the Magic Crystal Spiegeltent is an antique-style Belgian “magic mirror tent” that will be set up at the corner of East Main Street and Gibbs Street. But it’s not a house of mirrors. This is a performance venue, and the Magic Crystal will be holding a variety of events for all ages throughout this year’s festival.

Cirque du Fringe, a Cirque du Soleil-type show created exclusively

for Rochester, will have performances Thursday, September 19, through Saturday, September 28; tickets cost $31. The other big draw, Silent Disco, is a dance event where you listen to the music through headphones instead of over speakers. The Disco will take place Saturday, September 21, Friday, September 27, and Saturday, September 28, 10 p.m.-midnight; tickets cost $5-$7.

If that wasn’t enough, the Spiegelgarden, an outdoor beer and wine lounge adjacent to the Spiegeltent, opens Thursday, September 19, and it will hold several events of its own. The Pedestrian Drive-In, a moviegoing experience similar to the Silent Disco, will shows three classic movies. On Sunday, September 22, catch “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” (the good version, starring Gene Wilder); on Tuesday, September 24, see “The Big Lebowski”; and on Thursday, September 26, it’s “The Breakfast Club.” All films start at 7:30 p.m.

Then on Wednesday, September 25, at 7:30 p.m. put your arts and culture knowledge to the test with TriviaCity: An Arts & Culture Quiz put on by the fine folks at City Newspaper.

E. Schwartz featuring poetry, flash fiction, and a “soundscape” of some sort. The show is sure to be one of the more unusual experiences Fringe has to offer. (Friday,

MARC MARON CONTINUED FROM PAGE 23

Is there any separation between life and art for comedians?

Yes, some people are very separated. I just find that comedians and artists in general, whether they’re songwriters, musicians, comedians -not necessarily actors, but certainly the people that decide their own destiny in terms of their creativity -- they do a lot of thinking about a lot of things because that’s their job. They run the world through their perceptions in order to express themselves. So there are very few things that they can’t speak to.

On a recent show you said: “There’s a price to pay using your life for your art.”

Yes, there is. There are other people involved in your life and you are sharing your perception and theirs might be different.

You have a conflict as to what really happened. What is a betrayal emotionally?

What is your life and what is their privacy?

These are discussions and negotiations you have with yourself and with those people.

As a result of what you wrote in your book, you said on a recent podcast that

your father is not talking to you.

He started e-mailing me last week. I knew eventually the repercussions would not be as bad as he thought they would be.

You recently interviewed two of the most revered comedians alive, Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks. Was there anything particularly interesting to you about them?

It’s pretty astounding. Whatever my slice of show business is, I am in show business and I have a weird sensitivity to both sides of show business. I often find when I’m doing a “WTF” live and I’m sitting next to somebody who’s talking, and there’s a huge audience there, I am just looking at this guy talking and I hear an audience laughing uproariously. There’s a magic to it, but I’m sitting there and there’s a constant sort of awareness of: that’s just a guy talking next to me, and look what all these hundreds of people are reacting to.

So when I interview people that are amazing geniuses and therefore have had long careers, I find that it’s overwhelming initially.

But when you sit down with them you realize it’s just a guy, a guy who’s done some amazing things, but we’re just people here.

It’s always an amazing thing to me, the difference between the work and the

Comedy gave me my voice, but it also provided me with a lifelong struggle to honor that voice. person. But it was definitely an honor to interview those guys.

In your talk with Brooks, you discussed the Jewish tradition in comedy. Do you personally connect with that?

Of course, those are my role models. The culture of being Jewish, of being American Jewish specifically, and we’re also subject to these stereotypes that you kind of grow up with. There’s a certain reality to the American Jewish experience, to the artists and heroes who we have, to the weird idiosyncrasies that we all share. So it feels very ingrained in me. I don’t know if I got it from my family or from Woody Allen movies or Mel Brooks movies. It’s hard to

know where it comes from but there’s an understanding of it.

Brooks was impressed with you and suggested a late-night talk show. Is that a goal?

I’d certainly like to try it. I like talking to people and I’d like to see if it could work.

The only comedian to walk off your podcast was Gallagher, who got upset when you brought up homophobic remarks he made.

Is anything off limits for comics?

I wasn’t telling him not to do something, I was just questioning the integrity of his intention. It’s a personal decision; everybody has to figure out their own limits.

There’s nothing off limits in general, and that’s probably best for everyone in terms of freedom of speech and to keep creativity and activism alive.

In your book you wrote: “Comedy saved my life but also destroyed it.” What did you mean by that?

Comedy gave me my voice, but it also provided me with a lifelong struggle to honor that voice.

One last thing: you take in feral cats. Is there some identification there?

I just like that you’ve got to earn their love, and even that seems tenuous. I like the excitement of that kind of relationship. 

LIT | VSW PUB FAIR

If you’re looking for something a little edgy to read this weekend, then head over to Prince Street for the Visual Studies Workshop’s Pub Fair. The event is designed to showcase a wide range of independently published works from the Rochester area and features everything from artist’s books to zines to photo-book works. The event is free and open to the public for those who just wish to peruse, however there will also be artist’s work available for purchase. As an added perk, beer will be served inside the venue and both Hello Arepa and Le Petit Poutine food trucks will be outside to serve lunch on the lawn.

The Fair will be on Saturday, September 14, noon-7 p.m. at VSW’s auditorium at 31 Prince St. The fair will feature indie publishers such as After Image, Abscura, and ARTBOOK, and there will be selected readings by area writers throughout the day.

SPECIAL EVENT | CITY NEWSPAPER’S SOUTH WEDGE-UCATION

It’s time to get Wedge-Ucated again. Make a stop in the South Wedge neighborhood Thursday, September 12, where City Newspaper will be putting on its annual South Wedge-Ucation event. If you’re like every person ever and you like a good deal, this is one event you don’t want to miss.

Merchants in the Wedge will be offering too-good-to-be-true deals on food, drink, goods, and services. In addition, some of the top arts and cultural organizations in Rochester — including Little Theatre, Geva Theatre Center, Rochester Fringe Festival, and TheaterROCS — will be on hand with offers of their own.

If you’re a college student, here’s a little extra incentive: the first 250 college students with valid student ID’s (not ones from 10 years ago) who stop by the City Newspaper tent in front of Historic Houseparts (540 South Ave.) will receive a free bag of swag. Who doesn’t want one of those?

Wine, ukuleles, ice cream, and scarves are just some of the items you can get bargains on, so be sure to stop out and get the best Wedge-Ucation money can buy. The event runs Thursday 5-9 p.m. along South Avenue. For a full list of offers and more details check out the event page on Facebook or visit rochestercitynewspaper.com. — BY TREVOR LEWIS [ THU., SEPTEMBER 12 ] Backingpacking Europe on the Cheap. 7 p.m. Rochester Brainery, Village Gate, 274 N Goodman St. $15 730-7034. info@rochesterbrainery.com. rochesterbrainery.com.

Voices and romance “In a World...”

(R), DIRECTED BY LAKE BELL NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA

The curious title of “In a World...” comes from a repeated phrase, the opening words of the voiceover introduction of a series of amazonwarrior films, which the characters refer to as a “quadrilogy.” In a sense the whole movie revolves around those words, which come to accumulate more meanings as the story progresses through a relatively predictable comic plot to a cheerfully understated feminist theme.

Lake Bell, who also wrote and directed the picture, plays Carol Solomon, a marginally successful vocal coach who helps actors, including Eva Longoria, who plays herself, with accents and pronunciation. She maintains an audio archive of the useful and interesting pronunciations and inflections she hears, surreptitiously recording Irish, Ukrainian, and Chinese speakers, among others, throughout the film. An expert at imitating those accents, she also works as the voice for radio and television commercials and movie trailers.

Her work provides the unusual context of the picture, an entertaining inside look at the special world of the people who are heard but never seen, the voices in those commercials and trailers.

Carol’s father, Sam (Fred Melamed), is a successful vocal artist on the brink of retirement, about to receive a lifetimeachievement award from his colleagues; Sam generously relinquishes the opportunity to speak the title phrase to another successful performer, Gustav Wagner (Ken Marino).

When he discovers his daughter is also competing for the chance to become the voice of the trailers and therefore achieve a considerable success herself, Sam decides to rescind his retirement and reenter the race.

Gustav resolves to win the contest through a cynical ploy, seducing Carol at a lavish party he hosts, a seduction that begins with one of the weirdest kisses in cinema history.

In addition to the fascinating glimpses of the profession that engages all the characters, a combination of domestic and romanticcomedy occupies the foreground. Carol also deals with her father moving his dizzy young girlfriend Jamie (Alexandra Holden) into his house. She camps out with her sister Dani (Michaela Watkins), who undergoes a domestic crisis of her own, some of it precipitated by Carol’s vocal archive.

Amid all the complications and the most authentic presentation of a specialized and intriguing profession, “In a World...” is a quirky, offbeat comedy, with clever, credible, and funny dialogue, convincing characters, and a great deal of charm. The focus on voices and performance aligns the film with all those movies about making movies, only from an entirely new perspective. At its climax the picture also shows the trailers for the wretched “quadrilogy,” a short film inside the film, that underlines the peculiar nature of the art.

Intended Malick “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints” (NR), WRITTEN AND DIRECTED

BY DAVID LOWERY NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

Aside from the very brief scenes with Eva Longoria and Geena Davis, who delivers an important thematic statement in an oddly cold and dismissive manner, no familiar faces or big names appear in the cast. Refreshingly, all the other actors look like what we think of as real people rather than movie stars, which lends credibility to their characters and their profession. It seems entirely appropriate that the people who work behind the scenes, who actually make the pictures and commercials we all see and, more importantly, hear, should look ordinary rather than glamorous, normal rather than exaggerated, comical without exchanging lines and gags, so that the humor grows naturally out of the characters and the situations.

Apparently a talented and accomplished young woman, Lake Bell sets the tone for both the rest of the cast and the film itself. Naïve and slightly awkward, pretty again in an ordinary way, shy and rather eccentric, she seems exactly right for a part that she herself created. Her producer and romantic counterpart, Louis (Demetri Martin), matches her nicely, sharing some of the same insecurities and neuroses.

Finally, without preaching or propagandizing, “In a World...” delivers an unusual and intelligent statement about empowering women in the industry it displays. Geena Davis, her face artificially tightened like a balloon about to pop, asserts an actual thesis, a most original statement for a quirky romantic comedy.

There are some films (and filmmakers, for that matter) that wear their influences on their sleeves, unabashedly declaring to which cinematic predecessors its creators are most indebted. There’s nothing wrong with that in and of itself, but the catch is that the director should bring enough of his or her original voice to the material that the film is able to work on its own terms. Deeply reminiscent of early Terrence Malick, “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints” — David Lowery’s atmospheric (if somewhat awkwardly titled) fable of young desperados in love — doesn’t quite do enough to distinguish itself as much beyond an exercise in staid imitation. But it is clearly the work of a gifted filmmaker nonetheless.

The film stars Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara (David Fincher’s “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”) as Bob and

Ruth, two outlaws in small-town 1970’s Texas who, despite their criminal actions, dream of an idyllic existence together somewhere off in the hazy future. She learns she’s pregnant, and it seems as if their aspirations are within reach. But after one of their heists goes wrong (the film is deliberately vague on the specifics), the thieves end up cornered by the police in a dilapidated old barn.

In the ensuing standoff, Ruth shoots a policeman, Patrick (Ben Foster), but Bob valiantly takes the fall for their misdeeds and is sent up to the state penitentiary.

Time passes, and the young lovers exchange letters, with Bob vowing to return her, no matter how long it takes.

Meanwhile, Patrick has been checking in on Ruth, stopping by her home to spend time her and her now 4-yearold daughter, and he has obviously developed feelings for her. But then Ruth receives word that after five unsuccessful attempts, Bob has managed to escape prison. As Bob begins his way back to her, she must decide if that’s really what’s best for her and their young daughter. To complicate matters further, Bob is also being hunted by a group of unsavory bounty hunters, led by Charles Baker (Skinny Pete of TV’s “Breaking Bad”).

Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck are both solid in their roles. They turn in subdued performances, but do a decentenough job making these archetypal characters feel like they have a passing resemblance to actual people. They have a nice chemistry in their early scenes together. I never had a problem believing their romantic relationship, which is key, as they’re separated for the majority of the film’s running time. Affleck especially feels right at home in the genre, having already given a brilliant performance in 2007’s “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.”

Ben Foster continues to prove himself to be a skilled young character actor, infusing his more traditionally heroic character with a wounded soulfulness.

Keith Carradine also makes an impression as Ruth’s watchful, protective next-door neighbor, who may not be as benign as he appears at first glance. It’s also worth noting that he also contributes a song to the film’s soundtrack.

As it is, the true star of the show is Bradford Young’s beautiful cinematography. The film is, start to finish, lovely to watch. Young deservedly won the Cinematography Award at this past year’s Sundance Film Festival.

His lensing perfectly captures a mood (even if that mood is “1970’s Terrence Malick”), and it does evoke the right feeling for the story and its setting — all yellowed photographs and clouds of dust kicked up by rusty, beat-up pickup trucks in the golden, magic-hour lighting. It’s not an exaggeration to say that “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints” is worth seeing for his work alone.

If nothing else, “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints” makes me interested to see what the multi-talented Lowery does next. Just over the course of the past year, he edited the abstract, indie sci-fi whatchamacallit “Upstream Color,” as well as wrote the screenplay for another popular Sundance title, the blue-collar Texas gay drama “Pit Stop.” But here, the director is obviously doing his best to make a Malick film, right down to the hushed dialogue, heightened naturalism, and languid pace (in this case, I’d argue too languid — it would have been nice to at least see some portion of Bob’s escape from jail). The film always feels familiar, despite the fact that it’s based on Lowery’s original screenplay. With all his ability, I’m eager to see a film from him that is wholly his own.

technology, and feels that many workers’ unwillingness to share what they know is the result of prizing knowledge as job security.

Karakashian explains everything concisely to coworkers, knowing that it will help them communicate technical problems to him.

“Knowledge shouldn’t be silo-ed,” he says.

“There are great ideas about how to fix the world, but if nobody hears them, what’s the point? TEDx gives a stage to a lot of people who normally wouldn’t have a voice, and helps them propel forward.”

Aprille Roelle Byam, who works in market research and is developing her talents as a storyteller, got involved in the TEDxRochester team this year, and is developing the “superhero backstories” on the TEDxRochester blog, which explain what brought previous speakers to the stage. Byam had grown weary of the corporate world’s tendency to approach problems from the same angle again and again, and found inspiration in TED. “This is a whole group of people who kind of look at the world a little tilted, on one foot, and come up with brilliant things because of it,” she says.

Though the bulk of activity falls between July and early November, organizing the TEDx talks is a year-round duty. Of the 60 to 80 applicants they receive per year, Rochester organizers select 10 to 12 speakers, with a list of bookmarked potential speakers growing every year. The list of speakers for 2013 is just about finalized, and while Rochesterians apply for a spot in the audience, the TEDxRochester team works with speakers to refine their talks, reining them in to a mere 20 minutes, making sure they flow, are to the point, and include a strong call to action if applicable.

The team is still ironing out how to best gauge the efficacy of the talks, with regards to speakers moving forward with ideas.

Karakashian cites two successes: School 17 Executive Principal Ralph Spezio’s 2010 TEDx talk helped launch him nationally in his campaign against lead poisoning. And street-art festival/medical-philanthropy endeavor Wall\Therapy got a boost from their participation in TEDxRochester two years in a row. Organizers are working with Butler/Till Media Services on a program called TEDxRochester365, to continue conversation after the event, and plan to host a social network on the TEDxRochester website where speakers and audience members can connect.

The speakers are only one half of the focus of holding a TEDx event — the audience is the other half. TEDx Rochester’s audience application period is open now, and will run through the first week of October. The goal is to “get people talking, and realizing that those differences we talk about so often really aren’t as big as they may think,” says Byam. “And

Knowledge shouldn’t be siloed.”

also to kick people in the pants a little bit.

You can do something here,” she says.

TEDxRochester regularly receives about 1200 applicants, of which a small fraction are selected to attend due to the focused nature of the event. The application includes questions about your occupation, passions, achievements, and your favorite websites, in an effort to gauge what you’re about.

“We want people to be actively engaged,” says Karakashian. “The day is not only about the talks, it’s about the networking, and the meeting of new people. The ideas aren’t just coming from the stage,” he says. Organizers try to balance the audience with people who are able to fund projects and people who can volunteer to help them come to fruition.

The majority of the line-up of speakers

won’t be released until after the audience application period is closed, but the organizers have confirmed a few details.

The theme of this year’s TEDxRochester talks is “Changing Perspectives,” with an optimistic, diverse approach to answering the issues facing our city. The event will include speakers with different viewpoints on the way the world works, including those who adopt an historical perspective, like architect Howard Decker. “His talk is on the Rochester of 1912,” says Karakashian, “and how at the time, we had everything we needed here to be successful, and we were successful, but we’ve lost a lot of that.” The driving question is whether we can derive answers to our current problems by looking at successes from the past, including densifying downtown.

Also confirmed in this year’s lineup are activist-artists and professors Heather Layton and Brian Bailey, whose collaborative work has asked viewers to more closely consider the experience of humans and communities that America is aggressive toward, including the Middle East and rough neighborhoods in Rochester.

If you apply but aren’t selected to attend this year, you can still watch a live stream of the event at tedxrochester.org, where you can also find TEDxRochester’s past talks.

City Newspaper will follow up on TEDxRochester 2013 with a post-event blog at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

Sparkling Showplace in Maplewood

Search. Buy. Sell.

The Maplewood neighborhood has some of the handsomest architecture in Rochester and the early 20th century American Foursquare at 356 Lake View Park is no different. Set off by flowering shrubs and a wide tree lawn, the home’s light colored brick first floor grounds it solidly in its landscaped setting. The large, semi-enclosed porch offers a fine view from its hanging swing.

Inside, the spacious oak and chestnut entry hall features a beautifully crafted staircase and gleaming woodwork and wood floors. Set off from the hall by a colonnade, the living room features a bay window with stained glass, a fireplace, and glass-fronted built-in cabinets with unusual trim. The dining room has a large window seat, with linen storage below, a fine coffered ceiling, and picture rail.

updated bathroom is beautifully tiled. All the bedrooms have big closets; one has a window seat and two open to the sleeping porch. The office is charming and efficient, with another bay window, and new oak shelves that mimic the woodwork in the rest of the house.

The attic is huge and bright, with skylights in the new roof as well as big dormers. It is insulated and ready to become a finished space—a guest suite, master suite, playroom or what you will.

Not counting the third floor, there are 1,790 square feet in this dazzling house. Every surface is lovely, in colors that suit modern tastes. Even the several stained glass windows are bright, not gaudy. It’s a lot of house for $89,900.

The modern kitchen is a wonderful work space with an original pantry and a small enclosed porch to offer a calming view of the garden over a cup of coffee. A two-car garage frames the deep backyard, enclosing the space like a secret garden. And what a garden it is! Designed with paths, three water features, and a splendid collection of perennials as well as a terrace, it can be viewed from three levels: the patio, the back porch, and the upstairs sleeping porch. A garden with such good bones is a joy even in winter.

Maplewood is a wonderfully walkable neighborhood, with shops, restaurants, post office, library, a recently renovated historic YMCA, and the Olmsted-designed Maplewood Park with its famous rose garden. This weekend presents an excellent opportunity to explore the neighborhood yourself as the Maplewood Neighborhood Association hosts their annual Historic Home Tour on Saturday afternoon (visit maplewood.org for details). Visit rochestercityliving.com/property/R230771 or contact Tracie Cristofori of Nothnagle Realtors at 406-4141 for more information on this sparkling showcase property.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, an office, a full bath, a commodious hallway linen closet, and more sparkling woodwork and floors. The

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD Beginning in 2011, about three dozen people in Tokyo have been meeting every Sunday morning at 6 a.m. on a mission to scrub down, one by one, the city’s grungiest public rest rooms.

“By 7:30,” according to an Associated Press reporter who witnessed an outing in August, the team had left behind a “gleaming public toilet, looking as good as the day it was installed.”

Explained the hygiene- intense Satoshi Oda (during the week, a computer programmer), the mission is “for our own good” -- work that leader Masayuki Magome compares to the training that Buddhist monks receive to find peace.

(In fact, to fulfill the group’s motto, “Clean thyself by cleaning cubicles,” the scouring must be done with bare hands.) A squad supporter spoke of a sad, growing apprehension that the younger generation no longer shares the Japanese cultural conviction that rest rooms should always be clean and safe.

Medical Marvels

Colleagues were stunned in May when ABC News editor Don Ennis suddenly appeared at work wearing a little black dress and a red wig and declaring that he had begun hormone therapy and wanted to be called Dawn Ennis. As co-workers accommodated his wishes (which did not seem so unusual in contemporary professional society), Ennis began to have second thoughts, and by July had blamed his conversion on “transient global amnesia,” brought on by marital difficulties, and had returned to work as Don. Apparently the primary lingering effect is that he must still deal with Dawn’s hormone-induced breasts.

The Entrepreneurial Spirit

— Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a mirror that makes a person appear happy even when not.

A built-in camera tracks facial features in real time, then tweaks the image to turn up the corners of the mouth and to create the beginnings of a smile in the eyes. Of what practical use would such a mirror be? Other Japanese researchers, according to a Slate.com report in August, believe that happy-face mirrors in retail stores would improve shoppers’ dispositions and lead to more sales.

— A home ownership boom in China has led to heavily attended housing fairs, in which builders compete zealously to sell their homes, leading to offbeat schemes to draw attention. Among the latest, according to China Daily, is one that dresses female models in barebacked evening wear, with sample floor plans and other housing information painted onto their skin, and sends them wandering through the crowds.

Perspective

The Costa Rican government announced recently that it would close all its zoos, effective March 2014, and free animals either to the wild or to safe “retirement” shelters. Since the country is known for its expansive biodiversity (500,000 unique organisms, despite occupying barely more than 1/100th of 1 percent of Earth’s area), it is time, the environment minister said, to allow the organisms to interact instead of imprisoning them. Costa Rica is also one of only four countries to ban the exploitation of dolphins.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 43 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your heart may be in the right place and the desire to find that special person may be weighing heavily on your mind, but that is no reason to settle for less than what you deserve.

Don’t fear being alone, fear being with the wrong person.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll attract plenty of attention, but unless it’s from someone who isn’t already attached, you are best to take a pass. Getting involved with someone who can offer you only a limited amount of time will end up standing between you and someone who does deserve you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let the fickle finger of fate take over. You may be indecisive, but that doesn’t mean you should play with someone’s emotions. If you cannot make up your mind or you are having second thoughts, be upfront and make your position clear.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Nudge up nice and close to the person who grabs your attention. Your gentle but affectionate demeanor will help you win the heart of someone who has just as much to offer you as you do in return. Plan a romantic week, and don’t fear moving too fast.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You need adventure and excitement in your life, and anything short of that will probably not last. Don’t give in to someone who is trying to tie you down or curtail your freedom. Love the person who is willing to be your equal in every way imaginable.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Participate in life, and you will meet worthwhile candidates for love, romance and a long-term relationship. Don’t be afraid to express the way you feel and to share your knowledge, cultural differences and interests that you want to share. A promise will lead to a personal contract.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll have trouble making up your mind, and this can lead to frustration for someone you’ve been considering for a lifelong partnership. Question your reason for hesitating, and you will find it easier to firm up or walk away.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you feel it in your heart and you can’t wait to spend every minute with someone you meet, pull out all the stops and quit wasting precious time. Instant romance does exist. If it feels right, make your move and seal the deal.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll have trouble deci-

phering between lust and true love. Chemistry is a wonderful thing, but if that’s all you have in common, you’ll be unhappy once the chase is over and you’ve won the prize. Slow down and make sure you share common interests.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Comparisons will help you make an important decision when it comes to love. Consider the relationships with your old flames and the reason you drifted apart, and you will recognize the difference between what you have now and what you’ve experienced in the past.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let anyone push you

around when it comes to love. Speak up and set the standard before it’s too late.

You will attract possessive partners who are jealous and controlling. At the first sign of restrictive behavior, you are best to walk away.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll make a great impression and so will someone you meet. Enjoy the comfort you feel and the stories you share that help you get to know each other better. You’ve got plenty of time to let this relationship move from a lovely friendship to a passionate commitment.
