Fall Guide 2012 Summer is fun and all, but honestly, we’re not sorry to see it go — especially not after that heat wave in July. Give us good old autumn any day. The air is crisp and cool, the food is bountiful (thanks, harvest!), and most importantly, our area arts and cultural groups return with packed schedules after a few relatively quiet months.

Speaking of cultural groups, for this edition of City Newspaper’s Fall Guide we wanted to take you behind the scenes of some of those talented organizations; to better examine how they put on their various productions. So you’ll find Michael Lasser’s story on what goes into the planning of a theater season,

Rebecca Rafferty’s in-depth look at the largely unseen complications of putting on an art exhibition, and Willie Clark’s conversation with several area clubs about why they’ve abandoned some of the online ticketing giants in favor of smaller, more user-friendly services.

You’ll also find City’s critics sounding off on their best bets for the 2012-13 seasons, a list of fall special events and festivals, and a piece on the simple pleasures of hitting up one of our area’s many farm stands. Each one offers a slightly different experience. Check out Alexandra Carmichael’s story to see which pumpkin/ apple/berry farm might be right for you, and make sure to save room for some cider and fry cakes.

Romney should go on the attack

Writing before the Democratic convention, Mary Anna Towler says that the Democrats are not as “fired up” as they were four years ago, and she obviously doesn’t like Obama’s chances (“Romney’s Powerful Pitch,” Urban Journal). I’m a conservative, but I disagree.

Romney’s campaign consists of one issue: jobs. But if the unemployment rate drops (as I write, it has dropped from 8.3 percent to 8.1 percent), the Dems will trumpet it to the high heavens, and Romney will have no issue to run on.

Romney’s game plan simply isn’t working. Three weeks ago, Obama’s lead was 3 percent. It seems every other day since then, someone on a newscast says, “The gap is closing.”

Yet after three weeks of this closing, guess what? Obama leads by 3 percent. Remember when Dems ran on the “culture of corruption”?

They won then, because they attacked Republicans every chance they got. Republicans should’ve responded in kind.

The two parties may bicker over tax cuts versus tax increases and budget cuts versus budget increases.

But everyone hates corruption. No administration has been more corrupt than Obama’s. No Republican has criticized Obama’s phony recess appointments when there was no recess. No one criticizes Obama on his unconstitutional takeover of auto companies, financial institutions, and banks.

Obama refused to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act because it’s unconstitutional, but it was signed into law by President Clinton.

No Republican talks about these misdeeds. When a party leaves you all this ammo, empty all chambers.

But what did you expect? Romney picked some McCain retreads as his advisers. They ran McCain’s campaign into the ground and are doing the same for Romney.

I predict an Obama landslide that will have enough coattails to enable Dems to win the House and retain the Senate. And Republicans will continue to allow Dems to get away with this.

SAM PALERMO, ROCHESTER

Sounds way too similar to the RochWil deal, i.e. taxpayers be damned (“Bad Memories Haunt Sibley Deal,” News). What is so difficult about the city foreclosing and temporarily maintaining the building?

Taxpayers are already subsidizing it. Not sure what it is exactly that “RochWil” does (other than sit back and let the taxpayer funded rent roll in of course!).

Although one member of the Cuomo Education Reform Commission has characterized the resolution as a mere political stunt, there are no politics involved. If anything, this resolution is concerned with a testing policy that is choking the life from the joy of student learning and teacher creativity. Its passage would be gigantic step in the right direction for significant and meaningful educational reform.

The resolution, in fact, could be used to lobby the New York State Board of Regents and the US Department of Education to allow more school districts the flexibility to use alternative forms of assessment for determining student growth and development, as well as teacher effectiveness.

Rochester’s and New York State’s damaging obsession with highstakes, standardized testing is deeply in-grained and will not change without strong opposition from those directly involved with implementing state and federal education policies.

For this courageous proposal, the Coalition for Justice in Education commends Commissioner Adams for her tireless work in research-based, educational reform, and asks that others who support this resolution convey their beliefs to all members of the Rochester Board of Education.

DAN DRMACICH, ROCHESTER

The deal with Winn sounds almost identical to the deal with RochWil, and if this didn’t work out for RochWil, why would anyone think it will work out differently for Winn?

Nobody from the city should be signing off on this deal until the city can figure out just what happened to the millions of dollars per year in rent money paid to RochWil for MCC downtown all of these years.

Where did that money go? It sure didn’t go toward paying property taxes, loans, and more.

The most likely outcome is that taxpayers will again be subsidizing this dinosaur of a building to the tune of millions of dollars a year.

The only realistic long-term solution to this is to foreclose on the building, and then implode it.

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com Seems like there are two solutions.

First, do not do the deal without guarantees from Winn, since, it is obvious that they do not want to do this deal within their portfolio, which I think means that the mayor has given them some deal that bullet proofs them.

Second, either a grand jury or law firm needs to look at the Rochwil deal and all the money paid to Tom Wilmot and where it went.

This has a bad feel to me and all others that pay taxes in Rochester.

Resolution on testing deserves praise

Rochester School Board Commissioner Mary Adams has submitted a resolution to the Rochester Board of Education that focuses on the negative impact of high-stakes, standardized testing on students, teachers and schools. This resolution is supported by volumes of research documenting the severe damage this type of testing does to student learning and effective teaching.

The letter is signed by 22 other members of the COJE steering committee.

Romney, Obama, and foreign policy

Romney was right to speak out against Obama’s failed foreign policy (“Arab Spring May Be Romney’s Fall,” News Blog). About time!

Obama is just the grand appeaser and is no leader.

Just how ‘left’ are the Dems?

No question the Republican Party is moving right (“One Nation, Indivisible?” Urban Journal). Reagan would hardly recognize it today, much less Barry Goldwater. But where is the evidence that the Democrats have moved further left? Gay marriage?

I don’t see that as a left-right issue.

I see that as a human rights issue whose time has come (like ending slavery). On all other issues that come to mind, the Democratic Party hasn’t even held the line, much less moved to the left.

urban journal | by mary anna towler

Chasing school reform I’m getting really tired of “school reform.”

Rochester, like the big Midwestern city that’s getting the headlines right now, has embarked on lots of reforms.

Over decades.

The result of our effort and money: test scores and graduation rates have kept dropping. And middle-income families have moved out or sent their children to private schools. Which worsens the economic and racial segregation of city schools. Which ups the challenge for the schools.

The same thing has happened in urban school districts around the country, and we all keep pulling reforms out of a hat, looking for the new, new thing.

The reforms of the day include tougher teacher evaluations, longer school days, and a longer school year. Predictably, some teachers’ unions have resisted them. I think all three are necessary, but there’s a right way and a wrong way to get them. For one thing, teachers should be paid for working more hours. And: bullying teachers does more harm than good, as Chicago’s Rahm Emanuel should be learning.

Reformers like Emanuel have a simplistic view of the problems and solutions in urban education. They think there’s a simple way to judge a teacher’s performance. They assume that test scores alone can tell us what a child has learned and how effective teachers are.

And they assume that teachers can overcome, on their own, the poverty and neighborhood environment in which their students live.

But there’s plenty of blame to go around. As much as I sympathize with teachers, there’s more than a grain of truth in critics’ charge that teachers sometimes put their own interests ahead those of their students. Teacher tenure, seniority, “step” raises granted simply for reaching certain experience levels: I understand the rationale for these things, but they can have results that have little to do with helping children learn. In fact, they can get in the way.

For instance: Many teacher contracts protect teachers with seniority from losing their job if their school is shut down. If closing a school means that some teachers will be laid off, those with seniority can bump out less senior teachers in another school, regardless of teaching ability – and regardless of the wishes of the principal in that school.

And yet… teachers aren’t confident that every principal will make personnel decisions fairly. And cash-strapped school

School reformers like Chicago’s Rahm Emanuel have a simplistic view of the problems and solutions in urban education.” districts could be tempted to save money by getting rid of their most senior teachers.

Besides, if teachers aren’t doing a good job, how come they’re still in the classroom? Teacher contracts have specific procedures for evaluating teachers – and for terminating incompetent ones.

Ah, but there’s a big problem. For one thing, in Rochester (and, from what I’ve read, in Chicago), the evaluations are often meaningless. Almost everybody is rated “satisfactory.” Why? Because administrators aren’t trained properly?

Because there’s no oversight? Because nobody expects anything better? I don’t know. But it’s not the teachers’ fault.

If districts haven’t evaluated their teachers properly in the past, why should anybody think they will when we add students’ test scores to the mix? And will school district administrations and teachers’ unions be able to speed up and sharpen the due-process procedures that have protected incompetent teachers in the past?

And on the broader level: Will government and taxpayers recognize at last that an urban district full of high-poverty children, with poorly educated parents, faces vastly different challenges than a suburban district does? Will government and taxpayers be willing to provide the funding that these districts need?

It will not be cheap. But if we fail to do it, we’ll keep pointing fingers and coming up with new reforms. It’s so much easier to turn to simplistic solutions – order more tests, close schools, combine schools, create new schools, kill the teachers’ union – than to deal with the principal reason that so many children are failing.

The principal reason is the poverty in America’s inner cities. And that so many of the victims are African American and Hispanic is a stain on this nation’s soul.

Ominous notes for Kodak

Eastman Kodak scrapped its decision to auction its digital-imaging patents because of an apparent lack of interest from buyers. The company says it is looking into keeping the patents and setting up a licensing company. Sales from the patents were supposed to pay off Kodak’s creditors, but a court hearing on the matter was adjourned until further notice.

Teacher evals approved

The Rochester school district’s teacher evaluation plan was approved by the State Education Department. The plan requires evaluation of all teachers and principals this school year. It will be the first time that student test scores have a direct impact on teachers’ evaluations.

Perinton bans gas and oil drilling

The Town of Perinton passed a law banning natural gas and petroleum exploration within town limits. The law grew out of an initial push by Citizens Alliance for a Pristine Perinton for a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing, reports the Fairport-East Rochester Post. Shale gas drillers have not expressed interest in drilling within Monroe

County, though opponents note that the county is on top of the Utica Shale formation, which is thought to have substantial natural gas reservoirs.

SEPTEMBER 19-25, 2012

There is a time bomb hidden in this whole health-care debate, and it has nothing to do with the Affordable Care Act. This potential catastrophe is a result of the Budget Control Act that President Obama signed into law in 2011. Unless Congress and the president act to change the law, 8 percent will be cut automatically from every federal program that hasn’t been specifically excluded on January 1, 2013. That includes cuts to funding for the National Institutes of Health.

This is a big deal for Rochester because the University of Rochester, the biggest employer in Monroe County, gets a lot of money from NIH. The UR Medical Center received $178.4 million from NIH in fiscal year 2012, or 9.2 percent of the URMC’s total revenue of almost $2 billion.

An URMC official says the NIH funding pays the salaries of hundreds of scientists, students, and researchers. The money is also used to buy new equipment, purchase supplies for research projects, and

sometimes pays the tuition and fees of students through special NIH training programs.

The ripple effect of an 8 percent cut to that funding would cause widespread damage. It would seriously affect employment in the region and enrollment at URMC. There would likely be fewer opportunities to spin off companies and technology from the Medical Center — seen by many as areas of potentially significant growth for the city — and medical research would be hampered.

By the way, vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan’s plan included a 20 percent cut to discretionary programs, including funding for the NIH. “That would decimate the economy of this town, much more so than the Affordable Care Act,” says one local health-care expert.

Sierra Club members will focus on education, particularly on protecting New York’s water bodies from fracking. New York has abundant clean water, as does the rest of the Great Lakes region. But some local critics are concerned that fracking could contaminate Rochester’s Hemlock and Canadice Lakes water supplies.

ACTIVISM | BY JEREMY MOULE

Before there was such a thing as the environmental movement, Mohandas Gandhi warned of the dangers of industrialization and espoused living in balance with the earth.

Fittingly, the Rochester-based institute that bears his name is stepping into the fracking debate. From 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, September 21, the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence will hold an event to raise awareness of hydraulic fracturing and to inspire people to take a stand against it. The event, which is co-sponsored by the Rochester group of the Sierra Club, is at Cobbs Hill Park.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation is doing an environmental review of high-volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing in New York’s shale formations. The DEC will decide whether to allow fracking based on that review, but Governor Cuomo’s administration has floated a plan to allow fracking in Southern Tier communities that support the technique.

The state’s actions have inspired the Gandhi Institute to step-up its anti-fracking efforts, says George Payne, the institute’s peace and justice educator.

Make Peace, Don’t Frack is timed to coincide with the International Day of Peace.

The event includes shirt-making, fracking teach-ins, a vigil around Lake Riley, and a

symbolic demonstration along I-490. Training on civil disobedience will also be available, though that aspect won’t be handled by the Gandhi Institute or Sierra Club.

And local Sierra Club officials say they’re concerned by Monroe County’s refusal to rule-out treating fracking wastewater at the county’s plant. The county says it’d handle the request the same as other treatment requests, which involves a review of whether county facilities can handle the task.

The

devil in the details

Tax expert David Cay Johnston has another book out. The message in this one: pro-business tax policies are robbing us blind.

POLITICS | BY RON NETSKY

You won’t hear about it on the news until a disaster happens, but there could be a deteriorating gas pipeline in front of your house or near your kids’ school.

With only two local companies offering combined Internet and cable services, you might not be aware of how inferior those systems are — and how much more we pay for them — compared to the price of their French counterparts.

And you probably haven’t heard about corporations that withhold state taxes from their workers’ paychecks and then keep the money.

Brighton resident David Cay Johnston has discovered a lot of alarming things about the corporations we deal with every day. All of the above and a lot more abuses are exposed in his new book, “The Fine Print: How Big Companies Use ‘Plain English’ to Rob You Blind.” It’s his third book in a series that began with “Perfectly Legal” in 2004 and continued with “Free Lunch” in 2007.

In a wide-ranging interview recently, Johnston also discussed the Occupy movement, mall developers who want to take hundreds of millions in taxpayer money to support their business risks, and the emerging American oligarchy, living high on the hog without sharing in the tax burden.

Johnston left the New York Times in 2008 after 40 years of investigative reporting and a Pulitzer Prize. Since then, he’s been writing columns for Tax Notes and Reuters, hosting shows on WXXI radio, and teaching at Syracuse University. He’s also become the go-to pundit on Mitt Romney’s taxes on The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell and The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC. “The Fine Print” uncovers information that usually slips under the radar of mainstream reporting. “We are having our pockets picked,” says Johnston, “and we are literally paying for rules that enable picking our pockets.”

The following is an edited version of our interview with Johnston.

City: What was your purpose in writing “The Fine Print”?

Johnston: I am arguing in all three books for competitive markets. I got where I got — from being in the bottom third

of Americans to being comfortable — through competition. Competition is a good thing; it imposes rigor. We’re getting away from market competition.

We’re moving into a society of corporate socialism. I want rules that create the greatest gain with the least drag on society.

We will always have people we’re going to have to subsidize and support. Maybe they were born with shortcomings or were the victims of horrible crimes or accidents or illness. You want to have a society where you minimize your losses, but you recognize them and pay for them, because you want social stability.

The object is to make the United States endure, and you don’t do that by saying: if you’re not rich, too bad. Teddy Roosevelt said, “We will all go up or down together.” We’ve lost sight of that.

We need to have economic rules that reward strivers and don’t subsidize people who aren’t striving. Yet that’s what we’re doing. We’re taking from the many to give to the few, and we’re giving unbridled power to companies, many of which are putting our lives in danger because it’s profitable to do so.

One of the most frightening chapters in your book deals with gas pipelines and the very real implications of corporations cutting corners.

I tell the stories of three disastrous pipeline explosions in this country. There are people who have 30-inch natural gas pipelines operating at 1,500 pounds per square inch of pressure running down the street in front of their houses, and they have no idea. The pipeline industry sends brochures to schools and hospitals that are supposed to warn of this danger, and they tell you absolutely nothing useful.

One of them tells you how wonderful the pipeline industry is. All of a sudden the fifth page says you live in a “High Consequence Area.” That’s a euphemism for zone of almost certain horrible death if something goes wrong. It doesn’t say to a school principal, “Here’s how to find out where the pipeline near your school is.”

The pipeline companies are required to have emergency plans. You have to file freedom of information acts to get these things, and there’s nothing in them.

They’re just boilerplate. If we have a

pipeline explosion in Manhattan, it will kill potentially thousands and thousands of people.

You pointed out a dangerous discrepancy in the permit of one company and they just shrugged.

The US Transportation Dept. has been granting “special permits” to pipeline companies exempting them from a 10year-old law that began inspection of pipelines. I call them safety waivers. I was reading the ones for National Fuel Gas in western New York. As worded, it seemed that you could eat through 80 percent of the pipeline wall and still run the pipeline. They mean 20 percent.

As the pipelines age, the insurance premiums go up because the risks go up.

Because the companies are monopolies, they get to include the higher insurance premiums in the rates you pay them so, in essence, you are being charged to pay for the increased risk to your safety.

What effect has corporate arrogance had on the Rochester area?

The single biggest economic barrier to revitalizing the Rochester market is that we do not have, and are not scheduled to get, the information super-highway that we were promised in the 1990’s and that we paid for in higher rates for telephone and cable TV services. What happened when nobody was paying attention was the companies got laws passed that allowed them to give us the crappy Internet that we have that’s slow and inefficient.

America invented the Internet. It’s now 29th in the world in its Internet speed.

The triple-play package, cable, phone, and Internet – both Frontier and Time Warner offer them – after the first year, costs about $160 per month with taxes.

In France it costs about $40, and instead of calling for two countries, you get worldwide telephone calling.

Instead of domestic TV channels, you get live television from around the world.

You get an Internet that’s 10 times faster downloading and 20 times faster uploading. We get ripped off. The cable companies put the money from higher rates into profits, and the telephone companies put it into building cellular systems.

In the book, you describe another way people are ripped off through state taxes.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans have state income taxes withheld from their paychecks that never go to the government. They don’t know it, because the law doesn’t require telling them this.

Once the taxes are withheld, the state regards them as having paid their taxes.

It then lets the companies they work for keep these taxes.

The 2,700 companies that get this include every brand-name company you know — General Electric, Proctor & Gamble, Ford, Chrysler and a lot of foreign companies like Mitsubishi, Nissan, Deutsche Bank. All have these deals, and they’re spreading like wildfire across the country. I believe they’ll become close to universal if we don’t put a stop to it.

You’re having to make up for the workers’ taxes the company is pocketing.

There is a fundamental drive in this country to turn taxes from public purposes to private profits.

Right now, state and local tax incentives of this kind cost the average American family $900 a year. That is more than the weekly take-home pay of the typical American family with children. They’re giving up a week’s takehome pay for this corporate welfare.

The Republican leaders here in Monroe County are among the biggest promoters of corporate welfare. They are among the most abusive in helping their friends, I would argue, not by earning money in the marketplace, but through the tax system.

You also use the example of Irondequoit Mall.

That mall, built for $140 million in today’s money, sold for about $6 million. [The developer] has asked for $260 million to redo that mall. When I asked the county for its due diligence — will this actually work? — they gave me a report written by the developer’s consultants. That’s absurd.

Why should everyone in the county put up money to help this private developer? If it’s a sound investment, the market will finance it. If it’s not a sound development, why should you be forced to pay taxes to finance it? This is not market economics.

People say the Occupy movement didn’t amount to much. But it got the idea of 99 percent and 1 percent into our consciousness.

That’s exactly what they did. They changed the debate. I went down there and spent a day interviewing people. I met believers and atheists, liberals and Libertarians, Republicans and Democrats, truck drivers and theology professors. It was a broad mix of people, some of whom had been affected directly, some of whom had seen what went on around them, some of whom had family.

People at the very top have, in many cases, untaxed fortunes; they’re living lavish lifestyles, and they’re contributing little or nothing to the cost of the society that make their riches possible.

If Irondequoit Mall is not a sound development, why should you be forced to pay taxes to finance it? This is not market economics.”

The Occupy movement was partially a reaction to the bailouts of 2008. How do you view the bailouts in retrospect?

A lot of Americans wrongly believe that the Wall Street bailout was by the Obama administration. It was not. When the Bush administration bailed out Wall Street, except for the two companies that failed, everybody got 100 cents on the dollar of the money they had at risk.

When Detroit was bailed out by the Obama administration, everybody took what’s called a haircut. They lost money.

The CEOs and the janitors all took pay cuts. The executives lost about half of their supplemental deferred compensation for their old age.

Look what’s happened since then. Wall Street is now back to doing exactly what it did before, paying unbelievable amounts of money for things that are not socially and economically productive — derivatives trading, gambling. The US auto industry is on the mend. General Motors may be the biggest car company in the world again.

Why do you think Romney won’t release his tax returns?

I think it’s highly likely that Romney paid no or virtually no tax in some years. You’ll notice when Romney finally spoke on this he said, “I paid taxes every year for the last ten years.” The likely period of no tax payment would have been in the 1990’s up to 2002.

If you are the manager of an off-shore fund like Bain Capital Management — and Romney wasn’t just the manager, he was the sole owner — you can defer 100 percent of your income. You just put it back into the fund.

You and I, if we have a 401(k), can only save a limited amount of money, but managers of these funds can have an unlimited amount of money, tax-free, build up. Now you go to your banker and say, “I’ve got $1 billion here; I need so many million to live on this year.” The banker can loan it to you so you can live off your borrowed money.

Why does that law exist? Why can they do what we can’t?

Carried interest and unlimited deferral for private equity and hedge fund managers is an abomination in the view of every single tax scholar that I know, conservative to liberal. It exists because the people who benefit from these things pour money into political campaigns and, more importantly, say if you don’t go along with this we’ll pour money into someone to oust you.

That’s what the Club for Growth is: the Republican Party’s disciplinary shop.

You violate its principles on taxes, and they will find another Republican and run you out of office. They’ve done it many times.

I assume Mitt Romney has passed that test?

Grover Norquist said if Romney is elected what you’ll see is Paul Ryan’s tax plan. Under Ryan’s tax plan we would become like 18th-century France. The only difference is, instead of the church and the inherited nobility controlling all the property, it would be the inheritors of the oligarchs of today. Your economics would depend on how well you picked your parents.

Before reading your book, I’d never heard of ReadyReturn. What is it?

There are roughly 140 million federal tax returns filed each year; 100 million of those are totally unnecessarily. They’re filed by people who take the standard deduction, and the government already knows how much money they’ve got.

In California, they set up a system where the government would send a letter to single people saying, here’s your income; here’s the tax you owe; if you agree, sign this. If you don’t agree, fill out a tax return. The people who took advantage of it, in surveys, said this is the most fantastic government program they’d ever heard of.

stupid make-work. You mean I don’t have to pay money to Intuit? Oh, there’s the problem.

Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, spent $1 million in support of a single California legislator who’s affiliated with the Republican Club for Growth and who promised eternal fealty to the goal of Intuit and H&R Block and the others, which is that everybody has to pay them to fill out a tax return or do this terrible work by themselves.

Intuit and Grover Norquist are in common cause here. He says he wants to reduce your tax burden, but he needs people to be angry at the tax system so he wants to maintain tax filing.

He says falsely that you wouldn’t take all the deductions you’re entitled to.

ReadyReturn only applies to people who don’t get any deductions.

Norquist and the Republican Party want to make the government less efficient because it furthers their political goal of encouraging hatred against the government of the United States of America.

“The Fine Print” offers lots of solutions. You clearly haven’t given up on fixing this.

The number of people I meet who feel powerless and say we can’t do anything about it — excuse me, we can. Our constitution enshrined slavery; we got rid of it. Six hundred and thirty some thousand Americans had to die, but we got rid of slavery.

Women got the right to vote because men voted to give it to them. More than a century ago, there were preachers fighting against child labor laws, saying it is God’s plan that children should work in these factories and if you favor these laws you’re an agent of the devil.

We got child labor laws.

We’ve improved our society enormously. If you think we can’t solve our problem, what you’re saying is the United States has no future. The whole idea of the United States of America is that we can solve our problems. And we can overcome this problem of twisted, excessive, abused power by corporations, which I believe is absolutely at the core of our difficulties. Those ideas are killing our democracy.

SEPTEMBER 19-25, 2012

Dining themselves. Order a strawberry chicken salad ($8.50) and one of Apostolopoulos’ Parisienne crepes full of tender sauteed chicken, mushrooms, and bechamel, and you and your companion will have a dinner fit for French royalty. The multitude of fresh blueberries, strawberries and mandarin orange slices are dressed with a tart and sweet raspberry dressing, deftly balancing the rich, creamy goodness of the crepe.

Even the more outre combinations of ingredients work well. A buckwheat crepe, wrapped around turkey, sauteed spinach, cheese, and cranberry sauce, was the very essence of fall, reminding me that Thanksgiving is only a couple of months away. The sausage, cheese, and egg crepe with a surprisingly spicy salsa might ruin you for Western omelets forever.

But if you take a look around

Crepe escapes Delish Bakery 266 Park Ave 244-9002, delish-bakery.org tuesdays-Fridays 11 a.m.-8 p.m., Saturdays-Sundays 9:30 a.m.-9 p.m. [ REVIEW ] BY JAMES LEACH

There’s a stretch of Park Avenue, roughly between Goodman and Oxford, that might be considered a sort of pan-European hideaway.

Roam Café, with its vaguely Italian theme and its ardently Italian Vespas, holds down the spot at 260 Park. The dearly departed but not forgotten Dutch Market used to occupy the house across the avenue at 257. And since last December, Italy has France and Greece for neighbors — although in the real Europe they aren’t the same place.

In December 2011, Dimitra Apostolopoulos, a chef with decades of experience cooking both on the line and as a personal chef in New York City, decided that she was tired of life in Manhattan and relocated to Rochester to be closer to her son, and perhaps more importantly, her toddler grandson. Apostolopoulos told me that what she wanted when she made the decision to open Delish Bakery at 266

Park was the opportunity to “create my own things,” to experiment with new ideas and new presentations, and to become the pastry chef that she was clearly born to be.

So, this chef of a certain age, who learned her trade under the tutelage of her uncle in Greece, set out to open that most French of institutions, the crepery.

Greek heritage and French food run counter to reason — most restaurateurs draw on their heritage first and their training second. But Apostolopoulos didn’t want to open another Greek restaurant, or another Greek bakery for that matter. And let me assure you that until she talks to you and you hear her accent, you’d swear that she was born in France and trained at the Cordon Bleu.

Her restaurant and her food are that French, and that good.

Apostolopoulos makes her crepes the way

that they are made in creperies and street stands all over France. They’re created on a 15”, perfectly round crepe griddle, spreading the batter (she does both regular crepes and slightly more dense buckwheat) with a thin spatula and doing the seemingly impossible as she loosens the nearly diaphanous pancakes delicately off the flat-top, turns them, and then fills them with either savory

or sweet ingredients as suits your fancy.

I will confess that in three visits, I never got around to trying out the sweet crepes, even though she adds to the usual roster of nutella and cinnamon sugar ingredients like apples, caramel, and an enticing-sounding combination of caramel, chocolate, and walnuts that she appropriately calls a turtle.

(Sweet crepes range from $5.25 to $7.25.)

The problem was that her savory crepes were too good, and entirely too filling to permit me to follow them up with something sweet — and crepes don’t reheat well.

Instead, I was completely taken in by crepes with ingredients that would give those tradition-bound French folks apoplexy. The ham and cheese crepe sounds pretty French (I can’t even tell you the number of times that this was a staple of frugal dinners when I was a much younger and poorer college grad swanning around France on a Eurail pass and a quickly declining pile of francs), but a Frenchman would never have thought of including scrambled eggs in the mix. (Savory crepes range from $7.95 to $8.95.)

And I’m sure that the folks in Paris would positively faint if you suggested that you might put sausage, cheddar, eggs, and salsa inside a crepe. The results are wonderful, substantial enough to be meals (plural) in

Apostolopoulos’ shop it’s immediately clear that pastry work is her first love. The large display case at the rear of the dining room is full of the sort of things you’d see in an alternate-history version of Paris. You’ll find bright green pistachio cookie whoopie pies, which are essentially macarons on steroids.

Cups of chocolate and raspberry crème, layers of ethereal mousse alternating with almost toothache-sweet buttercream and a swirl of raspberry puree to keep it from tilting over the line from just sweet enough to too-sweet. Slices of chocolate cake that look like they were cut from the fabric of midnight with a laser. And adorable little jars full of cake and pie with raffia ribbons tied around the lip.

Jars of cake and pie? Yup. Jars. One of Apostolopoulos’ whimsical creations, cake or in a jar might be the coolest idea I’ve seen in dessert in quite some time. Take her excellent chocolate cake or lemon coconut cake and layer it in a Mason jar (although, in fact, she uses Bell jars) like an English trifle, screw a lid on it, and you have the perfect picnic dessert or hostess gift. And unlike so many gifts that come in jars, this one won’t be around for very long — the contents and the deceptively diminutive-looking serving invite you to dig in and then scrape the glass bottom. Apple pie in a jar is equally cute and tasty, the filling closer to the French tarte tatin than gooey American apple pie, while the crust itself is almost cookie-like in its tender sweetness.

You will not be hungry when you leave Delish, but as you settle up, be sure to snag a jar of the chocolate-strawberry or chocolatebanana spread by the register. It’s good on everything from toast to ice-cream, and may be best eaten one furtive spoonful at a time.

An heir to the throne [ review ] by frank de blase

Guitar impresario Deke Dickerson positively peeled the paint off the Abilene walls with his blistering guitar work Friday night. Dickerson is one of the slickest, fastest guitar players alive, and his skill is rivaled only by his genuine, aww-shucks charm. Dickerson’s drummer took a crack at playing guitar while two audience members held him by the ankles and swung him upside down, and Dickerson — king of the rockabilly mash-up — mashed up The Stray Cats with Satchmo.

Circus stunts aside, this was a night in Rochester rock ’n’ roll history, as 11year-old Mickey Smay, who sprang from the loins of Jason Smay (ex-Hi-Risers, ex-Los Straitjackets, current drummer for J.D. McPherson), and heir to the throne, got up and rocked with the band to Link Wray’s “Rawhide.” The boy pounded the skins admirably, and I don’t just mean he kept time. I mean he coolly bopped with snaps and rolls and fills as the grown-ups in the crowd went bananas.

I picked up Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion and headed north in the blue whale to Sandra’s Saloon, a keen example of an

alternate universe: authentic, unadulterated country music and drunken anthropology.

The Mike Snow Band was on stage honkin’ and tonkin’ with Colorblind’s Jimmy Mac on drums when we rolled up on the joint.

Snow has a classic, way-low baritone that will fire you up one minute, and leave you crying in your beer the next. Klondikecool proprietress Sandra was gracious and warm, and initiated Tin Man and Cowardly Lion with some clear liquid in a mason jar that rendered Tin Man incapable of saying anything other than “goddammit” and had Cowardly Lion howling like Tarzan. I’m not sure exactly how or when we left.

Back at Abilene Saturday night, Austin, Texas, blues troubadour Guy Forsythe and the whole audience got a big surprise as his former Asylum Street Spankers band mate Wammo made the drive from Pittsburgh to sit in and rock the joint. Between Wammo’s hellacious honks on the harp and Forsythe’s buttery slide, it was a rocking good night.

As I drove home with the windows down, I could still hear Cowardly Lion’s jungle howl in the distance.

Bob Log III is a one-man band, playing Delta blues on slide guitar, the drums with his feet, and singing through a telephone receiver mounted onto a motorcycle helmet.

PHOTOS PROVIDED

Underneath the helmet Bob Log III w/Stoney Lonesome & The House of Lights, Roger Kuhn, Cammy Enaharo Sunday, September 23 Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. 9 p.m. | $10-$12 | bugjar.com boblog111.com [ INTERVIEW ] By Frank De Blase

It ain’t nothin’ but a party when one-man band Bob Log III rolls into town. Dressed like one of those circus maniacs that gets fired from a canon, Log plays viciously raw Delta blues on slide guitar with his hands, while tackling the drums with his feet. The vocals are shouted through a telephone receiver mounted on the windscreen of his motorcycle helmet. It’s unpredictable madness. Perhaps it’s even a little bizarre, and Log’s tunes — full of lust, excess, and alcohol — are there to stir things up.

Log even manages to combine several vices, like his crowd favorite “Boob Scotch,” where his tumbler of scotch is passed around the audience so that young ladies can dunk a breast. Boobs, whiskey, and motorcycle helmets aside, Logs’s blues are the genuine article and mirror a lot of the stripped-down, bare-bone evil of his more conventional Fat Possum label mates.

His sound is brilliantly, sloppy sleazy, and rhythmically precarious, like a drunk stripper staggering in stiletto heels on loose gravel.

Originally based in Arizona, Log now resides in Melbourne, Australia, and landed in the United States last week just in time for his upcoming U.S. tour, and our phone call. An edited transcript of the conversation follows.

12 City SEPTEMBER 19-25, 2012

CITY: Where did it all start? How did it all start?

Bob Log III: When I was 11 my grandma got

me a guitar. I listened to a lot of AC/DC, Chuck Berry, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. When I got a little older I was in a two-man band called Doo Rag and drove all around the world playing guitar and my buddy played drums on the garbage can. And when he left I had a choice of either going home and shutting up, or learning a new way to play drums. I had a helmet I had bought at a thrift store the day before and I had a guitar case.

So I decided to drive to Chicago and kick the guitar case with a helmet on my head. And the chicks went so crazy. And that’s how Bob Log III started.

Do you ever see yourself expanding with a helmeted band?

It ain’t really about the helmet. The thing about what you do when you’re a one-man band… there’s a thing that happens that no other musician gets to do, I don’t care who you are. But when you’re playing by yourself, you get to mess with time. You can do anything you want to do with time.

You can slow it down, you can speed it up, and you can’t do that when you’re a whole bunch of people. You’ve got to all know that it’s coming. When you’re totally alone, you are the complete master of time and you can do whatever the fuck you want to time. You can take time out to dinner, you can throw a pie in its face, you can dress it up in a horse costume and send it out to buy milk. You can do anything you want to time. That’s the main reason I do what I do by myself. I think after 15 to 16 years doing this I’m completely addicted to controlling time. It’s what I love about what I do the most.

You’re clearly influenced by a lot of the Fat Possum cats, like R.L. Burnside and T-Model Ford. What’s it like working with them? How’d they take you?

I got to tour with R.L. like four times. I’ve been in the car with T-Model for hours on end. Hasil Adkins came to see me play. We played a show together. It was me, Hasil, TModel, Paul “Wine” Jones, RL… That was the first time Hasil got to see me play. This was like 1997, when I was just getting started, and I didn’t know what he was going to do.

“Is he going to hate me?” Well, Hasil jumped up on the tables, kicking over everybody’s drink, dancing around the room. And then at the end of the night he made me give him my autograph. He was so nice to me, he was such a cool dude, and we had such a great time. But all that aside, he was totally fuckin’ nuts, too.

Do the people that dig your shtick overlook the bigger picture? Are they missing out?

People can call it whatever they want, but the people that come to the show that are dancing and smiling, they get it. It’s what you’re doing with your music, I suppose. To me, pretty much all rock ’n’ roll is a shtick, the whole thing. What’s the point? Trying to make a room full of drunk people have a good time and enjoy themselves. There are other bands that want to get up there and totally complain about something — and I’m all right with that. But I don’t really call that rock ‘n’ roll.

I grew up with Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and AC/DC. Motorhead, too. They took the blues and turned it into a party, something fun, something to look at. It isn’t something I invented. I’m one of many who are trying to make what I guess you could call party music. I make party music with a guitar and a thing on

my head, but shit, Screamin’ Jay would make party music with a bone through his nose.

Angus Young puts on schoolboy pants…what does that do? Raises the party level. And I’ve got no problem with that.

What’s an ideal show for you?

What I’m attempting to do, when I’ve got a room full of people, is to really make them smile so much that their faces hurt in the morning. I want them to get so sweaty that they don’t care what their hair looks like. It’s not about a bunch of people standing around looking good, it’s about letting loose, putting the lampshade on your head, doing something they’re all going to talk about tomorrow.

It’s a party.

It’s a guitar party, especially Rochester. I remember you guys going totally ape shit on a Tuesday. That’s one of the reasons I’ve fallen in love with your town. And the garbage plate.

I want to do it, but not sure I can do that to myself this time. We’ll see how I feel.

Is there anything else in a boob scotch other than a boobs and scotch?

If you pass it around the room and everyone puts a boob in it, you can get all kinds of floaty things in there. It doesn’t necessarily have to be scotch. The idea is someone puts their boob in your drink, you take a sip, you feel better. I wrote that song because I was having a real bad day. Instead of writing about what made my day bad, I wrote the song about what made my day better. I don’t care who you are or what you do. Take a little sip of that and you feel better.

METAL | Powerman 5000

To rephrase performance artist Laurie Anderson, “Which is more macho: A pineapple or Powerman 5000?” My guess is Powerman 5000. The industrial metal quartet arrived in the early 90’s just as hair metal was frizzing out and grunge and rap-metal were picking up. Taking cues from sci-fi themed B-movies and groups like White Zombie (PM5K lead singer Spider One and Rob Zombie are brothers), the group hit a peak in ’99 with hit single “When Worlds Collide.” It seems like yesterday we were romping to platinum-selling CD “Tonight The Stars Revolt!” but unbelievably PM5K heads out to demolish North America with its 20th anniversary tour.

Intrinsic opens the show.

Powerman 5000 performs Friday, September 21, 8 p.m. at Montage Music Hall, 50 Chestnut St. $20. frontgatetickets.com.

Claudio Sanchez: Coheed and Cambria frontman, prog-rock pioneer, and yes, comic-book author. Sanchez and his music have always been highly conceptual, but now he is taking it to a new level. The band’s upcoming album, “The Afterman: Ascension,” is the first installment of a double-disc affair whose storyline follows “The Amory Wars,” the title of the series of comics that Sanchez has penned. The deluxe version of the record will also include a coffee-table book intended to give its reader, and “Afterman” listeners, a song-by-song experience of the album. Despite all of the ancillary hullabaloo, the real Sanchez experience still lies in C&C’s music.

The band’s sound follows a sweeping narrative arc of its own, incorporating elements of progressive and alternative rock, post-hardcore, and even pop, punk, and soul. If you have always wanted to experience the quirky thrills of a sciencefiction rock opera, attending a Coheed and Cambria concert is probably a serviceable substitution.

CAJUN/ZYDECO | Beau Soleil

Beau Soleil, or “Beautiful Sun” for those who habla the Francais, is a Grammy Award-winning Cajun band formed in 1975 in Lafayette, Louisiana. It’s the band’s extensive touring schedule and its infusion of other related and unrelated sounds — Tex Mex, jazz, etc. — that has kept Beau Soleil alive, along with the genre itself. Garrison Keillor calls the group “the world’s greatest Cajun band,” and chances are, you will too. You’ve heard them on all kinds of late-night TV and movie soundtracks, now see them live and laissez les bon temps roulez.

Beau Soleil plays Saturday, September 22, 8 p.m. at the Harmony House, 58 E. Main Street, Webster. $20-$25. rochesterzydeco.com. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

ALT-COUNTRY | Buxton

Houston-based alt-country outfit Buxton is just what you’d expect from a band that’s emerged from a crowded genre in a competitive music scene. Formed in 2003, Buxton earned kudos from the local press and has been tagged nationally by Esquire magazine as a group to watch in 2012. The quintet has been compared to Wilco (when it’s not experimenting wildly) and The Avett Brothers. Buxton is touring in support of its latest CD, “Nothing Here Seems Strange,” featuring tunes “Boy Of Nine” and “Riverbed.” This band’s got all the tools in its toolkit.

There’s not a lot of flash here, just substance and a timeless workman-like ethic. With White Woods and Landmark.

Buxton plays Monday, September 24, 8:30 p.m. at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $6-$8. 454-2966, bugjar.com.

JAZZ | Willem Breuker Kollektief

From 1974 until his death in 2010, Dutch saxophonist/composer/bandleader Willem Breuker led one of the most progressive big bands on the planet. Breuker’s own compositions could be counted on to stretch the edges of the avant-garde.

His arrangements of jazz standards by Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, and others always went well beyond a fresh take.

Whatever Breuker wrote, his Kollektief — consisting of some of the greatest players in Europe — was up to the task. Breuker died two years ago, but the members his Kollektief have embarked on one last tour to celebrate Breuker’s life and music.

“The Ones We Love” by Sarah C. Rutherford is part of 1975 Gallery’s current show, “Home is Where the Art Is.” PHOTO BY GOATMOUTH STUDIO

Where art lives “Home is Where the Art Is” 1975 Gallery, 89 Charlotte St. 466-4278, 1975ish.com Wed-Fri noon-8 p.m., Sat noon-7 p.m., Sun noon-5 p.m., and by appt. [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

After four years, 1975 Gallery finally has a home of its own. The inaugural show at this permanent, white-walls location is a celebration of Rochester art and a lesson for those who think world-class art is only being created by a handful of established individuals in our city. For “Home is Where the Art Is,” 1975 owner Erich Lehman invited 15 of his favorite artists living and working in Rochester, sharing the work of some of Rochester’s most talented young artists who are making a consistent, earnest attack at a career.

Lehman didn’t provide a theme for the artists to work from, but invited them to show what they’ve been working on in the past year. “This show is a survey,” says Lehman, “in part, of the history of 1975,” and also a sampling of the future of Rochester’s art scene. Some of the artists

have shown with Lehman since 1975 began in 2008; all three who participated in “Inauguration” — Adam Francey, Lea Rizzo, and Sarah C. Rutherford — are represented in this show.

Rutherford’s work, “The Ones We Love,” is a continuation of her series of epic tributes to her beloved friends, this time their identities slightly hidden in old time-y garb, the pair surrounded by rodent pals, ornate decorative borders, and bits of lost-and-found objects. Rizzo created a colorful, decorative, mixedmedia assemblage in three boxes mounted on and spilling onto the wall, with tin ceiling bits from Lehman’s house, old fabric scraps, wire and fabric birds’ nests, and snake imagery. Francey’s works are line-heavy ink drawings of beasts and beauties, death and flora, with washes of color ink and watercolor or coffee stains.

1975 Gallery “is dedicated to exposing

talented artists to a community that might otherwise overlook them, and facilitating the would-be collector,” says Lehman. “Now that I have a dedicated space, the focus/purpose will shift just a little in that I want it to be a true gateway for our city. I want to use it as

a way to expose Rochester’s artists to the ‘outside world,’ so to speak, and cityexchange shows with other cities like Detroit and Denver are already in the works.” Lehman also plans to bring artists he’s long admired to Rochester.

“I also will be expanding to feature more 3D artwork now that I don’t have to worry about how the primary business would operate” around the pieces, he says.

(Previously 1975 operated nomadically, staging shows in hair salons, and other established businesses.) Lehman wasted no time in including 3D art, and for this show, brought in three glass works by recent RIT graduate Shane Caryl, who cleverly and skillfully melds iconic classical sculpture with pop-cultural icons (see “Michelangelo’s Peter Pieta,” where Christ is replaced with Spidey).

Other established Rochester artists included in the show are St. Monci, Mr. Prvrt, Hannah Betts, Jonathan Rutherford, Mike Turzanski, Lorraine Bohonos, and Caitlyn Yarsky. Some are relatively fresh into the professional world and have caught Lehman’s eye, including Justyn Iannucci, Shane Caryl, Adam Maida, and Mike Carnrike. “I’m watching these artists,” says Lehman. “I feel the artists selected consistently create great work and keep challenging themselves to become better at their craft.”

Lehman says that working with St. Monci has been one of the highlights of the last four years, and he has been impressed with Monci’s exploration of new directions in his work. Over the years, St. Monci’s work has retained the kinetic energy it always had, but the chaotic sprays and splatters have tightened up to form architectural, shatter-y and splinter-y compositions. In this show, three panels done in oranges, grays, and teals form an abstract triptych with a retro feel to it.

Monci’s fellow Sweet Meat Co. artist, Mr. Prvrt, shows off three familiar but reimagined worlds in this show with stencils and spray paint. An ornate wooden frame contains a notso-innocent Alice amid a castle, glass bottles, gears, mushrooms, and rabbits in all acid trip colors.

Painters John Perry and Caitlyn Yarsky

a silent scream, the focus on a white crescent of teeth and starlight spittle at midnight. Yarsky’s weeping siren clutches fabric in her blood-soaked arms and hovers outside a boat near a portal where we spy a man’s face within.

Mike Turzanski’s complex, biologyobsessed works include his typical fingers, tongues, horns, and sprays of fluid popping from eyes and other orifices, but this time the works are assembled from cut paper arranged in layers. Adam Maida’s screen prints are gritty and have a vintage feel to them. “Industrious” is all gears and gams and utilizes old imagery, while “Always Waiting/Big Brother” is a graphic red, white, black and blue robot.

Lorraine Bohonos included three portraits of watery, ghostly women.

Two are painted in grays, one is flushed, berry stained, little more than eyes, nose, mouth, hints of jaw. Justyn Iannucci’s hirsute ink-drawing diptych depicts a man and a woman blanketed in their own flowing locks, in a twin gesture of rest.

Poking from the coat of hair, the naked legs, arms, faces, make the figures seem more vulnerable than if entirely nude. The hair turns the figures into strange eggshaped forms, hinting at connotations of security and fragility.

Hannah Betts included a diptych pulled from her series of bright portraits of her adorable niece, who here confronts the viewer with huge blue eyes. The stacked images form an intriguing portrait of transition: up top, the subject clutches two dolls that are as blonde and bright eyed as she, and below the toys are dropped to her sides.

Jonathan Rutherford’s photography is represented by three of the blackand-white portraits he created of the “Wall\Therapy” mural artists DALeast, How Nosm (with bulldog), and Case.

Mike Carnrike is “on a boots and leggings kick,” says Lehman of the RIT grad, who works for Kink BMX as a photographer, but here has snapped three figures in sparse settings with great attention to detail and hints of debauchery. In one image, a young woman’s boot and tightclad legs stick out from a toppled trash can, the reflection of her young flesh glowing on the metal inside.

FESTIVAL | Flour City Brewers’ Fest

Although we’re known as the “flour” or “flower” city, the number of up-and-coming breweries popping up in and around Rochester is undeniable — maybe one day we’ll be the “hops” city. In the meantime, the Flour City Brewers’ Fest, taking place Friday, September 21, 6-9 p.m., gives you the opportunity to sample up to 20 different hand-crafted lagers and ales from local breweries, including Rohrbach Brewing Company, Roc Brewing Co., and Genesee Brewery, in addition to international brands like Stella Artois and Weihenstephan.

Enjoy the mild fall weather outside at Frontier Field (1 Morrie Silver Way) while listening to live music from acoustic rock band Jumbo Shrimp and rock musician Tommy Brunett. All that beer giving you the munchies? Never fear, as food vendors will be on site with a variety of offerings.

General admission tickets cost $35-$40, while VIP tickets, which include early admission, free parking, catered food, and exclusive beer samplings, run $75-$100. However, if you got the luck-of-the-draw and will be the designated driver for your friends, tickets are a mere $10. The event will benefit Holiday Outreach and the NYS Brewers Association.

You’ve gotta have a gimmick “[title of show]” Through September 30 Blackfriars Theatre, 795 E. Main St. $27 | 454-1260, bftix.com [ REVIEW ] by Michael Lasser

Before he says a word, an old Broadway type, who is completely a figment of my imagination, pushes back from the battered upright against the wall, chomps on the cigar in the corner of his mouth, and offers up the benefits of his years in what they used to call The Business.

“So, kid,” he growls, “ya wanna write a Broadway musical? Hell, everybody does.

It ain’t easy. Ya gotta know what people like and what they think’s funny, and then ya’ give it to ‘em — in spades. Yeah, and maybe ya gotta have a gimmick, too.”

Jeff Bowen (music and lyrics) and Hunter Bell (book) must have been listening hard. Their 2008 Obie-winning musical, “[title of show],” now running at Blackfriars, is a musical about writing a musical about writing a musical. If that’s not a gimmick, then there hasn’t been one since the strippers in “Gypsy” departed the scene. They also seem to know exactly what their audience will like.

They’ve got a clever enough premise that also leads to the show’s most important lesson: beware of clever 24 City september 19-25, 2012

premises and where they might lead, especially if the writers are enjoying their work too much. That’s how this show feels. It starts with a nicely absurdist idea that could have led to a genial send-up of musical thee-uh-tuh with its legendary mix of talent and rampaging ego, but instead ends up becoming what one of the characters calls “self-referential, selfindulgent bullshit.” He might have been reviewing the show he was in.

To be fair, the youngish audience loved the production, and so will you if you think “fuck” is the funniest word in the language and never stops being funny no matter how many times the characters repeat it. Yet the bawdy asides and non-stop pop-cultural references make up some of the show’s funniest lines — even though they don’t have much to do with what’s going on. When a show has virtually no plot and four barely defined characters, you take what funny padding you can get.

Potentially the cleverest part of the show

eventually becomes its heaviest weight.

The musical has two writers named, naturally, Jeff and Hunter, who decide to enter a competition for new musicals whose deadline is three weeks away — except they don’t have an idea. Eager for success and recognition, Jeff, who works on websites, and Hunter, who watches

internet porn while masturbating, decide in desperation to write a show about the show they’re writing, minute by minute and line by line.

The musical they’re writing is the musical you’re watching. Its book, they agree, will consist of the unedited conversations, struggles, and miscellaneous jabbering of the two collaborators, as well as the two actresses, Susan and Heidi, they hire to perform with them. So Jeff and Hunter write a musical about Jeff and Hunter who are writing a musical about Jeff and Hunter. You accuse me of being repetitious? Nowhere near as much as the musical the first Jeff and Hunter write and the second Jeff and Hunter appear in.

The next question: Which of the three musicals are you watching? In the answer lies the potential fun as the two actors zip back and forth through time and space, from being actors to being playwrights to being characters. At first, the moments are sharp, quick, and funny, but they become obvious and predictable. How many times can a character turn to the keyboard player, wave, and say, “Hi, Larry,” before it becomes tedious? The show, however unintentionally, provides the answer.

Bowen and Bell’s score is easy to listen to

but hardly distinguished. It has more songs than most musicals though less than a day after I saw it, I couldn’t remember any of them. The ensemble cast of four consists of Dan Howell as Jeff, Matt Liptak as Hunter, Janine Mercandetti as Susan, and Elizabeth West as Heidi. The acting was unpolished, but that may reflect how little they had to work with beyond wise cracks and a few conflicts that never developed and then were resolved with the ease of a quip and a song.

Mercandetti and Liptak had most of the comic lines, although Mercandetti, who has a good sense of comic timing, played everything very broadly, and Liptak had little feel for comedy and tended to speak in great rushes of words that sometimes made him hard to understand. His performance and Howell’s felt mechanical — they didn’t quite seem to be listening when somebody else was speaking. West was the most assured of the four performers.

SPECIAL EVENT | Deaf Awareness Week

Considering that Rochester has one of the highest per-capita deaf populations in the United States, it’s a shame that more of our hearing population isn’t bilingual. Even if you don’t know American Sign Language, you can learn more about our deaf community and culture during Rochester Deaf Awareness Week, which takes place September 23-29.

During the week, Rochester Recreation Club for the Deaf and Genesee Valley Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf will present more than 30 workshops, lectures, performances, and exhibits throughout the city designed to enhance public awareness of the deaf community. Highlights include miniclasses in basic sign language, a 19th century baseball game to commemorate deaf player William “Dummy” Hoy, and performances by two nationally recognized performers, Jag Einhorn and Dana Charles Hughes.

A kickoff ceremony takes place Sunday, September 23, 1-3 p.m. in the MCC Theatre (building 4, 1000 E. Henrietta Rd.), followed by a reception in the North Atrium (building 12).

Many events are free and open to the public, and interpreted for the hearing, but some workshops require an RSVP. For a complete schedule and information, visit rdaw.org.

Potential Subjects NEEDED FOR

THEATER | John Lithgow: Stories By Heart

Goofy and gangly tend to make a winning entertainment combination. Back in the day, America found this to be true with greats like Danny Kaye. Today, one actor who embodies both these qualities particularly well is John Lithgow (pictured). We know him from roles like Dr. Dick Solomon in “3rd Rock from the Sun” and Lord Farquaad in “Shrek,” but in “Stories by Heart,” Lithgow gives insight into his own life, allowing his characteristically kooky personality to shine through. Lithgow will perform his one-man theatrical memoir at the Auditorium Theatre (885 E. Main St.) on Thursday, September 20, at 7:30 p.m. for one night only.

Over the course of the evening, Lithgow will adopt 10 different roles while weaving in and out of his own life story, and two stories read to him as a child. “Uncle Fred Flits By” by P.G. Wodehouse tells the account of an Englishman dragged on a chaotic adventure through London by his uncle. Contrastingly, “Haircut” by Ring Lardner depicts a scene of a gossipy barber in Michigan giving a shave and haircut to an out-of-town walkin, displaying a darker comedic view of Midwest America. With Lithgow portraying a parrot at one point in the evening, the show is sure to flaunt the actor’s absurd versatility.

A 52 week research study examining the safety and efficacy of a topical investigational solution of study medication or vehicle solution for infected toenails.

Subjects who qualify will be compensated for time and travel, study related assessments included.

Bernie Madoff meets Gordon Gecko [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“Arbitrage” (R), written and directed by Nicholas Jarecki Now playing

Although the writer-director takes the title of his film from one of those clever stock manipulations that wheeler dealers in the financial racket employ to make millions of dollars, “Arbitrage,” curiously, never shows any of that practice. Instead, the movie concentrates on just the sort of conniving that even a novice recognizes, a simple custom familiar to any of those small-business owners the major parties

now so obsequiously court — keeping two sets of books. That scheme essentially drives the major action of the picture and preoccupies its protagonist, Robert Miller (Richard Gere), so fully that it eventually threatens the stability of every part of his life.

The multimillionaire head of a hugely profitable hedge fund, Miller flies into the plot on a sleek corporate jet, fretting to his associate about a deal that has fallen through and the delay in a plan to sell his business to another fat cat. That particular deal will obsess him throughout the course of the film, interrupted only by a tragedy that overshadows but never entirely obliterates his fixation on making several hundred million dollars.

Miller enjoys all the perquisites of the good life — a splendid home on Central Park, the attentions of a squad of servants, chauffeured limousines to waft him around Manhattan, a loving wife (Susan Sarandon), and a bright daughter (Brit Marling) who occupies an

important position in his business. On top of all that, he has provided his demanding mistress, a French artist named Julie (Laetitia Casta) with an expensive apartment and even established her in her own gallery to display her paintings.

Despite all that, Robert Miller is a desperate man, frantically trying to hold off creditors, placate clients, and find a way to conceal the fact that he has been cooking the firm’s books, covering up deficits and faking payments. He knows that if his deal falls through an audit will reveal his manipulations, leaving him open to criminal charges of fraud. Just as his financial world teeters on the verge of collapse, his personal life falls apart — in a shocking moment, he falls asleep at the wheel while driving Julie upstate, overturning the car in an accident.

The rest of the picture shows Miller staving off destruction and the prospect of criminal charges for both his fraudulent dealings and his culpability in the accident. While he tries to manage two separate cover-ups, a Detective Bryer (an unlikely Tim Roth), sure of his guilt, pursues a relentless investigation, intimidating his friend Jimmy Grant (Nate Parker), the son of Miller’s former chauffeur, who rescued him after the accident. Although the primary financial plot keeps thickening around Miller, the detective’s cat-and-mouse techniques, which lead Jimmy to a grand jury, lead to a surprising and oddly satisfying conclusion.

Bearing witness Witness Palestine September 20-October 4 witnesspalestinerochester.org

Despite the clear presentation of Miller’s chicanery and a whole spectrum of betrayals, the movie sustains its tension remarkably well, even enlisting the viewer’s grudging sympathy for this slick operator dancing on the edge of a precipice, facing imprisonment for two separate and unrelated crimes. With his harddriving single-mindedness, his glib handling of the detective, his slick facility with the recalcitrant representatives of his prospective buyer, his skillful negotiations, his assumed air of nonchalance, Gere suggests some complexity within this superficially negative character. He may embody some of the best known traits of Bernie Madoff and Gordon Gecko (with overtones of Donald Trump), but he also at times seems a victim of his own schemes and even of his own success.

“Arbitrage” only touches on what surely should be a major thematic element, the inequities of wealth and class that enable a man like Robert Miller to succeed. One understated moment juxtaposes detective Bryer vainly trying to question Susan Sarandon’s character as she blithely enters her limo with the next scene, in which he and his partner summarily scoop Jimmy Grant off a Harlem Street; Bryer even complains to a judge about the rich escaping justice, and he’s right. As a character in a novel by one of my favorite authors puts it, “There’s no honest way in America to make a hundred million dollars.” And he’s right, too.

It’s difficult to know where to even begin when discussing the conflict between Palestine and Israel, a decadesold schism with passionate stances on both sides, each believing theirs to be the just one. Yet as the powers-that-be lock horns over figurative lines in the literal sand, there continue to be human beings trying to make their livings and raise their families smack-dab in the middle of the fight, with no control over the political maneuverings but every interest in their outcome.

Giving a voice to the Palestinian point of view is the inaugural Witness Palestine film series. Curated by an interfaith group of individuals from the Rochester area who traveled to the Middle East for a firsthand look, Witness Palestine aims to address this hot-button issue through a collection of narrative and documentary features that put faces to those directly affected by the conflict as well as those striving for peaceful change.

All the screenings are at the Little, and each program will be followed by an interactive panel discussion. Tickets are $8 (except for “Budrus,” which is free);

“We’re not even aware of all of the influences of the military,” Israeli conscientious objector Maya Wind says in “Occupation Has No Future,” an effective documentary that explores Israel’s militaristic culture through the eyes of those who have refused conscription, as well as those who have actually served in the West Bank but are now actively protesting the occupation. This film came about in the fall of 2009, when American antiwar activists traveled to Israel to learn more about the movement, opening an enlightening dialogue with refuseniks and former Israeli soldiers who have joined forces with Palestinians to embark upon a campaign of civil disobedience in hopes of bringing about peace. (Thursday, September 20, 6:45 p.m.)

Writer-director Annemarie Jacir’s gorgeously shot “Salt Of This Sea” tackles the Arab-Israeli conflict through a romantic drama in which Soraya (Suheir Hammad), a Brooklyn-born woman with Palestinian roots, travels to Israel to get in touch with her history (and, hopefully, her grandfather’s long-gone bank account). Soraya sparks with a waiter (Saleh Bakri, “The Band’s Visit”) who becomes her sidekick in both larceny and tourism, leading to a number of nonetoo-subtle scenes designed to illustrate Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people. Soraya’s third-act tantrum at her ancestral seaside home threatens to derail the film, but it’s not impossible to believe that she would have become so impassioned during her brief stay.

(Sunday, September 23, 2 p.m.)

The powerful documentary “One Family in Gaza” personalizes the conflict’s human toll through the story of Kamal and Wafaa Awajah, who suffered devastating loss during an Israeli siege in early 2009, but chooses to instead focus on a peaceful future for their remaining children rather

than assign blame. Since 2008, Palestinians have been getting evicted from the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah in favor of Israeli settlers, and “Home Front” introduces us to four individuals of very different backgrounds, all fighting for Palestinian rights. We meet Terry, an American-born Israeli spurred to action in support of her protester kids, while young Mohammad, his Palestinian family now forced to share their home with Israelis, gets an eye-opening lesson in solidarity upon meeting a Jewish activist. (Thursday, September 27, 6:45 p.m.)

“We can accept this as God’s will, as we always do, or we can consider this an injustice,” says community organizer Ayed Morrar in the absorbing documentary “Budrus.” The “this” Morrar is referring to involves the Israeli initiative to build a separation barrier that encroaches way past the Green Line into Palestinian territory... and right through the village of Budrus, cutting its residents off from their beautiful, beloved land. As Morrar and his fellow villagers, including his feisty 15-yearold daughter Iltezam, engage in nonviolent protest against the barrier, we also hear from the Israeli soldiers doing their jobs without questioning their government’s tactics. (Sunday, September 30, 2 p.m.)

The gripping drama “Private,” by Italian director Saverio Costanzo, unfolds over a few tense days in the life of a Palestinian family of seven whose home has been commandeered by Israeli soldiers.

Mohammad Bakri (“Laila’s Birthday”) plays the patriarch, a chilly academic type who’d rather endure the discomfort of coexisting with the military personnel than relinquish his home to them, no matter what his terrified wife says. Not content to remain banished to the first floor, however, the kids are a little more bold than their parents, and the film gets much nailbiting mileage out of some very close calls that convey the horror of an occupation.

(Thursday, October 4, 6:45 p.m.)

A CHUMP AT OXFORD Thursday, Sept. 20, 8 p.m.

Bumbling street sweepers Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy inadvertently foil a bank robbery and are rewarded with full-ride scholarships to Oxford. Hazed by know-it-all Brits, the boys simply aren’t cut out for the contemplative life — at least not until a window cracks Stan’s cranium and awakens a brilliant scholarly alter ego. Soon Ollie finds himself demoted to “Lord Paddington’s” valet. An uproarious comedy that lovingly revisits many classic Laurel and Hardy routines, A Chump at Oxford delivers a much-needed riposte to academic stuffiness. (Alfred Goulding, US 1940, 63 min., 16mm)

A long-time passion project for Truffaut, this off-kilter adaptation of the beloved novel by Ray Bradbury envisions a post-literary society where interactive TV rules every home and books are burned in the public square by so-called firemen. One fireman (Oskar Werner) begins to question his marriage and his vocation after meeting a dissenting free spirit (Julie Christie) on the monorail, setting him off on a dangerous path of unorthodox book preservation.

A Place to Put Down Roots 122 Mulberry Street

24 unit apartment complex Townhouse style buildings $145,300 net Income Rents are being increased.

Schmackpfeer Realty 585-259-5474 wschmack@gmail.com

122 Mulberry Street is an American Foursquare home located in the Highland Park neighborhood (formerly known as the Ellwanger and Barry neighborhood).

Nurserymen George Ellwanger and Patrick Barry developed their seed and plant business on what is now Highland Park and the surrounding neighborhood at a time when Rochester was known as the Flower City.

By 1912, when 122 Mulberry was built, the city had expanded and Ellwanger and Barry became real estate developers.

From the sidewalk a brick path leads straight to the columned porch that stretches across the front of the home. Partially sheltered by shrubs, the porch is the perfect place to spend a summer evening people-watching or chatting with passersby. Entering through the front door, you step into a large front hall, which originally functioned as the music room but could easily serve as an office, sitting room, or simply a greeting space. A paneled wood partition and columned entryway separate this room from the rest of the house.

Another unpainted wood entryway opens to a combination dining and living room to the right, where two bay windows bring in light and a window seat beckons. Tucked at the back of this large, open room, behind original wood doors, are a closet and half bath.

At the back of the house, a functional kitchen acknowledges family pets with a secret pet door.

A side door leads to the driveway and carport.

Beyond the carport is a cozy, fenced backyard, complete with a patio and lovely landscaping.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, a linen closet, and a full bath. The attic, lit by dormer windows, provides storage space. The basement is partially finished and contains another full bath.

122 Mulberry is a well maintained home, rich with original historic details. In 2006 the exterior was painted, extra insulation was blown in and interior window inserts were added for warmth. The furnace and central air conditioner were added in 1999. Today the house is empty, sparkling clean and waiting for the next occupants.

Close by is the Ellwanger and Barry Park playground, developed by the active neighborhood association. The one-of-a-kind, Frederick Law Olmsted-designed Highland Park is within walking distance as are the diverse amenities of the South Wedge and Swillburg neighborhoods. The University of Rochester, Strong Memorial Hospital, Highland Hospital and the Al Sigl Center are nearby.

The property is eligible for a $9,000 grant through the University of Rochester Home Ownership Incentive Program, which encourages University employees to live in nearby city neighborhoods. RIT has a similar arrangement. The list price for this 1,466 square foot home is $154,900. For more information visit rochestercityliving.com/property/R186528 or contact Nothnagle realtor, Sharon Diamond at 585-729-5745.

Fun [ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD Researchers Having Fun: Scientists from the Primate Research Institute at Japan’s Kyoto University reported in an August journal article that they had given helium gas to apes (gibbons), which, predictably, made their voices goofily high-pitched.

However, it was not a fraternity prank or lab assistant’s initiation, but a way for the scientists to determine whether the famously sonorous gibbons could yell just as loudly at a higher-than-natural pitch. The gibbons succeeded, showing a rare talent similar to that of the world’s greatest human sopranos, who maintain their booming amplitude by altering the shape of their vocal tract, including their mouth and tongue.

Cultural Diversity

— The seaside city of Qingdao, China, is (as described in August by NPR) “not a vacation community for superheroes” even though many beachcombers wear masks while lounging and sunbathing. The garments are “face-kinis,” or light cloth coverings that protect against the “terror of tanning.” While Western cultures celebrate skin-darkening, many Chinese associate it with lower-status, outdoor occupations, and a pale skin suggests having lived a pampered life.

— Fine Points of the Law: (1) Italy’s highest court ruled in July that one man’s telling another, in front of others, that he has “no balls” can be criminal conduct that warrants payment of damages. Said Judge Maurizio Fumo, such a comment places at issue male virility as well as competence and character. (2) In August, after an eight-day trial, a court in Hamburg, Germany, awarded money damages to a man who called another an “asshole” (“arschloch”) in a parking-space dispute and fixed the payment at the equivalent of about $75,000. (Courts in Germany can base the amount of damages on the transgressor’s income.)

— A Saudi Arabian agency is raising the equivalent of about $130 million to break ground in 2013 on an entire city to be managed and staffed by female employees, with three more such cities being contemplated. Raising women’s employment rate is a goal of the kingdom, where until last year, nearly all jobs were held by foreigners and Saudi males, including jobs as sales clerks in women’s lingerie shops.

— A centuries-old practice of China’s upper crust continues today, reported Slate. com in August, except with a bit more circumspection. Rich and/or powerful people on trial or convicted can still get away with hiring replacements to serve their sentences — but because of ubiquitous Internet videos, only if the replacements facially resemble the perps. Since the rich person winds up paying for his conviction (though a relatively small price), Slate called the practice (“ding zui”) sort of a “cap-and-trade” policy for crime.

Latest Religious Messages

— Prayer failed for Leslie Burton, 26, and Terrell Williams, 22, in St. Paul, Minn., in July. As they sat in the back seat of a police car while officers searched their own car, the pair, touching hands (according to the cruiser’s video camera), quietly begged divine intervention that the guns in their car not be found. However, not only were the guns spotted, but a subsequent strip search revealed a baggie of suspected Ecstasy pills in Williams’ rectum.

— In August, an abbot at the Wat Phra Dhammakaya Buddhist temple in Bangkok, Thailand, reported that Steve Jobs is doing well now as a “mid-level angel.” He was reincarnated as “a half-Witthayathorn, halfYak,” which the Bangkok Post took to mean that Jobs continues to be a “giant” and a seeker of scientific knowledge and apparently resides in a “parallel universe” near his former office in Cupertino, Calif.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 38 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t let passion lead you down the wrong romantic path. It can be a costly adventure if you let chemistry be your guide when trying to pick the perfect partner. Without common interests, the passion will fade quickly, leaving you in an unhappy position.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll be attracted to someone from your past. Don’t do a repeat performance. If it didn’t work out the first time, it isn’t likely to this time. Jealousy and possessiveness are issues. Avoid anyone who makes you feel insecure or tries to control your life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You will attract a lot of attention, but you may not find it easy to make your mind up when it comes to picking a partner. Don’t lead anyone on. Being a free spirit will help you attract someone looking for the same type of relationship.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Go out, party and have some fun.

The more active you are, the easier it will be to find someone who shares your interests. You will be attracted to creative partners who show sensitivity and desire to help others. Short trips will lead to love.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be

emotionally vulnerable. Keep your personal life a secret, and take more time getting to know anyone who interests you by being a good listener. It’s best to know with whom you are dealing and what’s being offered before you lay your cards on the table.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Check the status of anyone who interests you before you consider spending time together. You don’t want to wait for someone who has no intention of leaving his or her current partner to be with you.

Don’t believe everything you hear.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Let past memories flood back into

the forefront, and take the time to address relationships that you remember fondly. Consider reuniting with an old lover to see if you still have feelings for each other. Don’t be afraid to make the first move.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Participate in activities you enjoy doing. Protect your heart from someone trying to take advantage of you by occupying your time and using emotional blackmail to keep you from meeting someone better suited to your lifestyle and personality.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Adventure, excitement, travel and

taking part in all sorts of playful activities will lead to plenty of passionate opportunities. Enjoy the people you meet and the partners you encounter. Personal changes are heading your way, and a commitment will take you by surprise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Getting together with someone you meet through work can turn out to be a costly affair. Step back and consider the consequences if things don’t work out. Look elsewhere or set strict ground rules that will protect you from jeopardizing your position.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Sexual experimentation may excite you, but a broken heart is likely if you play emotional games. One of you will end up wanting more and feeling let down. You can have fun, but make sure you and your partner are on the same page.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Reveal your dreams and desires, and show your vulnerability. Make your move and sell what you have to offer to the romantic partner you choose. Plans that include spending more time together will help you work toward making a long-term commitment. Seal your fate with a gift.
