Fad or fix: RCSD gambles on longer days While some students would probably recoil at the idea of a longer school day, more time in school could give many city students the extra time and support they need to succeed. Teachers have more time to teach, and students can benefit from academic enrichment programs like art, music, and sports.

Northeast Prep and School 9 are two of three schools in the Rochester school district that started the year off with longer hours. All City High, which opened this fall, also has a longer day.

And if Superintendent Bolgen Vargas gets his way, these schools are just the beginning of

a shift for many city schools. Vargas is betting that lengthening both the school day and the school year will reverse the district’s persistently low performance. He says he wants to have eight additional city schools convert to the longer schedule next fall.

The plan for longer hours is not a magic bullet, however, and the schools could be a challenge to manage. (pictured: Northeast Prep Principal Mary Aronson and student Alysha Rodriguez.)

Feedback GUEST COMMENTARY | BY WILLA POWELL

Wealth disparity and our graduation rate Not long ago, published research demonstrated that countries that had a high disparity between wealth and poverty were also characterized by low confidence in their government and contempt for the law. There is a justifiable assumption that the government is corrupt, serving the elite while either actively suppressing the poor or failing to use the power of the law to protect the poor from exploitation by the rich. When laws are made and applied arbitrarily; people learn that the trick is not to obey the law, but to not get caught.

I worried that the US was becoming a “banana republic.”

Nationally, CEO’s are given salary packages worth 400 times the average worker’s wages: a disparity ratio that exceeds every other nation in the world.

Monroe County ranks very high in average income in New York State, and yet the City of Rochester, situated nearly at its center, has one of the highest child poverty rates in the country.

The disparity between rich and poor could not be more obvious than in our own community.

And when Rochester established its Zero Tolerance policing policy, I worried that the net effect would be to create contempt and suspicion toward all our institutions. People who have no use for the Police Department tend to look upon schools, libraries, and museums the same way. I went to meetings where racial profiling was alleged, but for the most part, I was determined to keep an open mind.

But now we have the Schott Report that tells us only 9 percent

of African American boys in Rochester graduate from high school “on time.” We may dispute the percentage, but local research conducted

by School Board Commissioner Van White, focused on interviews with juveniles in jail, make the connection, for me at least, between a policing system that has targeted African-American boys and their low opinion of the educational system. “F-It,” they say, “I can play by the rules, or I can break the rules.

It makes no difference either way, because there is a great big target painted on my back.”

We are reaping what we have sown.

ful hands and kneading him as it likes, the sovereign extends its arms over society as a whole; it covers its surface with a network of small, complicated, painstaking, uniform rules through which the most original minds and the most vigorous souls cannot clear a way to surpass the crowd; it does not break wills, but it softens them, bends them, and directs them; it rarely forces one to act, but it constantly opposes itself to one’s acting; it does not destroy, it prevents things from being born; it does not tyrannize, it hinders, compromises, enervates, extinguishes, dazes, and finally reduces each nation to being nothing more than a herd of timid and industrious animals of which the government is the shepherd.”

strained economy, while at the same time allowing a few people on Wall Street to become very rich. (The big financial firms are all for carbon cap-and-trade, as it represents a huge potential new source of profits, only in this case, it would literally be profit created on the backs of the middle-class.)

Enron had wanted to make trading carbon credits one of its main lines of business, for example.

3) It makes little sense to hamstring our economy when we are nowhere near being able to replace the existing fossil-fuel sources of energy at the moment, and also the other major polluters in terms of carbon, China and India, are not doing anything to reduce their own carbon emissions.

Unless people want us to go back to pre-19th century living standards, then the only real viable solution to carbon emissions will be some new, radical technology for energy generation, or a revolutionary advancement in solar panel technology or whatnot. Until then, carbon emissions will only keep increasing as economic growth occurs and thus more energy is needed.

Can voters really prevail?

Mark Hare expresses his faith that universal suffrage would “fix” the American system of government (guest commentary, September 26). He cites Alexis de Tocqueville who, in 1835, wrote, “When a people begins to touch the electoral qualification, one can foresee that it will sooner or later make it disappear completely.”

I wish I could share Mr. Hare’s optimism.

Professor Harvey C. Mansfield, one of the translators of de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America,” writes: “For [Tocqueville], the danger is not so much factious interest or passion as the degradation of souls in democracy…”

In Part IV, Chapter 5, of “Democracy in America,” “What Kind of Despotism Democratic Nations Have to Fear,” de Tocqueville concludes: “Thus, after taking each individual by turns in its power-

Meeting the real Romney It was a curious debate last week, and a depressing performance

by President Obama. Like many people, I was speechless by the end of it.

Did Obama think he would be debating a different Romney? Did his debate preparers advise him not to attack? Obama critics had joked that he couldn’t campaign without a teleprompter. Were they right?

Michael Tomasky on The Daily Beast and Garance Franke-Ruta on Atlantic.com offer an unsettling theory: that Obama may simply be so beaten down by the job that he no longer cares whether or not he wins a second term. If that’s the case, it’ll be hard to pull out of this funk, hard to win re-election.

And it matters greatly whether Barack Obama is leading the country for the next four years or Mitt Romney is.

Five Obama associates told the New Yorker’s David Remnick that they weren’t particularly surprised at how the president did. Obama, they said, has never liked to debate and does better when he can be on his own, explaining his views.

Well, OK, but debating, like it or not, is a requirement in presidential campaigns, and unless he was distracted by a major crisis that hasn’t yet been made public, Obama should have done better.

Maybe none of this will be significant in a week or so. The polls have fluctuated, as they usually do after conventions, debates, and candidate goof-ups. But as Nate Silver noted in his FiveThirtyEight column on Tuesday, the trend has been consistent, with Obama narrowly ahead.

What’s most disturbing about Obama’s abysmal evening is that it has overshadowed – in the minds of many commentators and apparently in the minds of many voters – Romney’s own performance.

It’s one thing to be distracted, or peeved, as Obama was. It’s quite another to blithely lie, not only about an opponent’s record and policies but even about your own. To say something that’s not just misleading but is blatantly false – something that has been refuted by independent parties – and to keep repeating it. And smile.

Last week, Romney proved to be a master at that.

When the presidential campaign began, I thought Romney was a decent man, probably qualified but with conservative policies that I don’t think are best for the country. Instead, we’re seeing a candidate who is willing to say anything it takes to get elected.

(Surely the journalist deserving the award for the loopiest column of the campaign is the Times’ David Brooks, whose post-debate conclusion was that we have now seen the Real Romney, and

What’s most disturbing about President Obama’s abysmal evening is that it has overshadowed Mitt Romney’s own performance. surprise! The Real Romney is the moderate Republican of Brooks’ dreams.)

This is a particularly important election.

The choice couldn’t be clearer – and the difference in direction that the country will take after the election couldn’t be starker.

Some of that difference will be on display on October 16, when the presidential debate will focus on foreign policy. Romney’s pronouncements in this area have consisted of generalities and thin slogans, but the thrust is clear. He’s big on American exceptionalism, defense spending, muscle flexing toward Russia and China, insulting and dismissing the Palestinians, and injecting ourselves – and American soldiers’ lives – into conflicts here and there. America should “shape history,” he said at the Virginia Military Institute earlier this week.

And as he showed with his irresponsible statement immediately after the tragedy at the consulate in Benghazi, he is prone to shooting from the hip, acting first, getting the facts later.

This is a complicated, often dangerous world, and developments in Iraq, Iran, and the Arab Spring countries are proof that there is nothing simple about shaping a president’s foreign policy. Ultimately, the United States cannot deal with dangers abroad by itself. And bellicosity and braggadocio are not the mark of a great leader.

Next week, we’ll learn more about both men, their foreign-policy knowledge and their vision for the world. And maybe on November 6, we’ll learn something else important. And that is, which voters value most: substance and character or debate skills.

Fracking waste ban proposed

Democrats in the Monroe County Legislature want to temporarily ban the county from treating fracking waste. Legislator Justin Wilcox of Brighton is sponsoring the legislation, which also directs county officials to study the potential negative impacts of the treatment.

County officials have said they’d address requests to treat fracking waste on an individual basis.

Hanna leads Senate race

A Siena Research Institute poll had Republican Sean Hanna leading Democrat Ted O’Brien by eight points in the 55th Senate District race. The district was redrawn in the once-a-decade redistricting process and the incumbent, Republican Jim Alesi, is not seeking re-election. Last week, EPL/Environmental Advocates of New York gave Assembly member Hanna its Oil Slick award for having what the organization considers to be one of the worst environmental record in the State Legislature.

Local social justice and political groups are joining forces to promote the concept of housing as a human right, and to get the City of Rochester to make tackling homelessness a priority.

The groups, including Take Back the Land - Rochester, Metro Justice, Band of Rebels, Rochester Against War, and the Green and Working Families parties will march from Washington Square Park on South Clinton Avenue to City Hall on Church Street on Tuesday, October 16. Participants plan to gather in the park around 5 p.m.

“We’ve been doing a lot of direct action, foreclosure defenses,” says Ryan Acuff of Take Back the Land.

“But along with the actions, we try to advocate for policy changes.”

Some of that advocacy has fallen to the Metro Justice Housing Committee, which has two main goals, he says: to discourage the City of Rochester from using Chase Bank until the bank shows more

willingness to negotiate with people in danger of losing their homes, and to get the city to enact a moratorium on foreclosures.

The city could use that time to develop a plan to end homelessness, Acuff says. Other cities have plans, but Rochester isn’t yet thinking on that level, he says.

City Council member Elaine Spaull says homeless is a complex problem that defies a simple solution.

“I know that it appears to be a simple matching of vacant homes with homeless families,” she says.

“Perhaps the majority of the vacant homes are not immediately inhabitable: they need an enormous amount of work to get them ready.

And then also many homeless folks need more than a roof over their heads. The social service needs are great, and that system is not in place to assist our homeless families.”

Maggie Brooks tried to make the plant closure an issue in her race against incumbent Democrat Louise Slaughter for the 25th Congressional District seat. But Slaughter’s campaign fired back, pointing out that Brooks had the wrong facility, and that the GM plant isn’t in Slaughter’s district and isn’t in the newly-drawn 25th District.

Fuel cell lab leaving Hydrogen fuel cells have a long way to go before they’re ready for the market. Still, General Motors’ fuel cell research and development center in Honeoye Falls has served as a highprofile tech industry in the Rochester area.

But last week, GM announced that it will shut down the lab and transfer the technical work to the automaker’s Pontiac, Michigan, powertrain facility. GM spokesperson Kim Carpenter says the move is so GM can consolidate its technical expertise.

General Motors employs approximately 220 people at its Honeoye Falls facility.

Some — it’s not clear how many — will be transferred to the Pontiac plant, Carpenter says. She says she expects the transfer to be under way by the first quarter of 2013.

The Rochester academic and business communities had embraced the lab. In the past, researchers at University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology worked with the Honeoye Falls staff on various fuel cell and hydrogen fuel technical issues. RIT continues to study hydrogen combustion engines, but has no ongoing projects with General Motors.

Monroe County officials also worked with the center to test a Chevrolet Equinox fuel cell vehicle prototype.

“Obviously, I’m disappointed,” said County Executive Maggie Brooks. “This is a

company we’ve held up as an example of hightech in Rochester.”

Politicians have publicly and aggressively pushed for federal research funding. When the US Department of Energy planned to cut funding for vehicular hydrogen fuel cell research from the federal budget, local Congressional and Senate officials protested.

Some funding was restored.

Brooks tried to make the plant closure an issue in her race against incumbent Democrat Louise Slaughter for the 25th Congressional District seat. Brooks criticized Slaughter for announcing federal fuel cell funds in April, but remaining silent on GM’s decision.

Slaughter’s campaign fired back, pointing out that the money she announced in April was for a Department of Defense solid-oxide fuel cell program at Delphi in Henrietta. And that the GM facility isn’t in Slaughter’s district and isn’t in the newly-drawn 25th District.

DEVELOPMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

I-Square’s many questions I-Square, a mix of shops, offices, and apartments meant to revitalize a section of Titus Avenue in Irondequoit, is at a standstill.

That’s because town officials and the project’s developers, Irondequoit residents Mike and Wendy Nolan, don’t see eye-to-eye on a proposed tax agreement. Last week, the town approved a 10year payment in lieu of taxes plan, but the Nolans say they need a 25-year agreement for the project’s finances to work. A PILOT is essentially an incentive where the developer pays an agreed-upon amount yearly, instead of taxes.

“Without the PILOT agreement it is unaffordable for us to build I-Square,” Mike Nolan says. “So we’re not really certain where that leaves us.”

At the heart of I-Square is a reasonable desire: to build a project that will help revitalize the Hudson Avenue, Titus Avenue, Cooper Road area. The Nolans aren’t the first people with that goal. In 2003, the town developed a master plan to make the area walkable and attractive to shops and shoppers. And that’s what the Nolans say they want to do.

But town officials have concerns about the project’s viability. Supervisor Mary Joyce D’Aurizio says the town hasn’t been given adequate information about various aspects of the development, including rents, length of leases, and potential tenants. And a 10-year PILOT is typical of what the town would give any other commercial developer, D’Aurizio says.

“We had repeatedly asked him for a business plan, something that showed more substantial financials than what he gave us,” she says. “Because reviewing

what he had given us did not in any way support the project.”

And I-Square doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

Other retail, office, and apartment spaces sit vacant within Irondequoit and beyond, and the Nolans’ project would be competition. It’s not exactly a good time for retail, either. In the Rochester area, large chains and small, local businesses are folding. And in this sluggish economy, discretionary incomes have suffered.

And just across town, Medley Centre owner Scott Congel has been unable to get financing for his plans to redevelop the dead mall. The town granted him a 30-year PILOT in 2009, but the property has sat idle since.

Up until the end of September — that’s

when the town board approved the 10year PILOT — the Nolans planned to construct seven buildings for a mix of shops, offices, and apartments. Their plans also included public spaces such as an outdoor amphitheater and an art gallery.

The project has substantial — and vocal — public support. Town officials

I-Square, as proposed, would contain a block of seven buildings near Irondequoit’s Titus AvenueCooper Road intersection. Titus is at the top of the photo. PHOTO PROVIDED

City

say they, too, support the concept and hope that the Nolans can make it work, even if it’s in a scaled-back form.

And Mike Nolan says that any time he’s hosted an event at the site, whether it’s an art opening at the on-site gallery or a presentation on his proposal, he’s had large crowds.

“This will be huge,” he says. “I’m 100 percent positive about that.”

The problem with the area now is that it lacks a gathering place, Mike Nolan says. Residents need “sustaining entertainment” and cultural offerings, he says — and they are leaving Irondequoit to get it.

Mike Nolan says he’s given the town sufficient details and financial projections on his plan. And he says he’s provided studies and surveys showing demand for the space and the businesses he hopes to attract.

The I-Square site is in the West Irondequoit school district. In August, the school board passed a resolution supporting a 25-year PILOT for the project. The resolution contained a breakdown of the payments it would accept and a stipulation that the agreement would be revisited in year 15.

The Nolans provided the district with considerable detail on the project, says school board president Chuck Perraud.

The board examined the tax implications and the project’s potential to improve the Titus-Cooper area, a critical area in the town, he says.

“We came to the conclusion that we can endorse the concept,” Perraud says.

Town officials have different questions and concerns, since they must also deal with issues like public infrastructure, Perraud says.

But the uncertainty over I-Square hits on an issue that’s not unique to Irondequoit and this particular project site.

Towns and cities all over have watched as businesses leave neighborhood cores and downtowns for larger car-oriented plazas. The areas that once thrived as community centers have been in decline.

Many communities have tried to halt or reverse that decline. The efforts are usually popular and some have been successful, such as the longterm approaches pursued in villages like Pittsford and Fairport. Other communities continue to struggle.

And often, the question is how to pay for the revitalization.

I-Square promises — or promised — private investment. But it’s not without risk. The project depends on a significant retail component, and that’s largely about market potential and demand.

Each year, the local office of CBRE analyzes the Rochester area’s commercial real estate market. Its 2012 report shows that over the last decade the amount of retail space in shopping centers greater than 30,000 square feet has increased.

Not counting Medley Centre, Irondequoit’s retail property vacancy rate is 11.5 percent, which is in line with the rest of the metro, says Jonathan Murray, director of marketing and research at CBRE’s Rochester office. With Medley Centre included, that figure jumps to 38 percent.

The Rochester area’s population also has not grown significantly. Neither have discretionary incomes. In other words, new retail businesses are drawing from the same pool of customers as existing businesses, and many existing businesses are already struggling.

The Nolans own the I-Square property and are entitled to develop it. But they are asking Irondequoit taxpayers to subsidize the project.

Mike Nolan says he’s looking for a balance of local businesses and regional chains, and that there’s enough business to go around.

Town officials say they have to be fair and diligent when making decisions that affect taxes. One solution might be for the Nolans to scale the project back, Supervisor D’Aurizio says.

“You have to worry about things being overbuilt: Do you have the long-term leases to support the project?” she says. “You can’t just have empty buildings. We certainly have enough of those right now.”

But Rodriguez says the student she is today is not the one she was only a year ago.

“I never used to come to school or I would come late,” she says. “I always used to be outside and I didn’t do my homework. I made some bad choices.”

Rodriguez says she liked hanging out with her friends in her North Clinton Avenue neighborhood. She says she didn’t get into trouble, but the opportunity was all around her and she didn’t know how to handle it.

“Kids have nothing to do so they wash their minds off with TV, sleep late, or be reckless,” she says.

But Rodriguez began making changes in her life about a year ago with the help of her mother, teachers, and Mary Aronson, the principal at Northeast Prep. Aronson says Rodriguez has some catching up to do, but that she’s on track to graduate in June. And Rodriguez credits her newfound interest in school to Northeast Prep’s newly established longer hours.

While many students would probably recoil at the idea of a longer school day, Rodriguez says it has made a huge difference, and that school is more relaxed, interesting, and fun. She likes it so much she even volunteers some of her extra time to help other students. And she says her teachers have more time to spend with her.

OCTOBER 10-16, 2012

“Nobody is going to get me like this school gets me,” she says.

Northeast Prep and School 9 are two of three schools in the Rochester school district that started the year off with longer hours. All City High, which opened this fall, also has a longer day; it’s designed to give students who need it a more flexible class schedule.

And if Superintendent Bolgen Vargas gets his way, these schools are just the beginning of a shift to longer school days for many city schools.

Almost every Rochester school leader

has changed the way the district operates.

Former superintendent Manny Rivera was especially invested in helping seventh and eighth graders transition to high school. For Jean-Claude Brizard, it was offering parents a portfolio of schools to choose from.

Vargas’s strategic change is extended school days. He’s betting that lengthening the hours of instruction and the school year will reverse the district’s persistently low performance.

Vargas says his plan is neither a test nor a pilot program. He’s calling it a new approach, and he says he wants to have eight additional city schools convert to the longer schedule next fall.

“We believe that all children can and will learn if you give them the time and support they need,” Vargas says. “Our children have special needs. Students and their families face challenges in their neighborhoods and homes every day. We can’t just continue to

tell students ‘You need to spend more time on math, science, English, and history.’ We have to do something to mitigate those challenges.”

Vargas’s goal is to provide students at least 300 extra hours of instruction and activities every year through a combination of longer school days and summer hours.

For example, there are more than 550 students at Northeast Prep, and buses begin arriving at 6:50 a.m.

The day ends at around 6:15 p.m., which adds one additional hour to the morning and three hours to the afternoon: adding a total of approximately four hours and fifteen minutes to the day.

School 9 has a similar schedule.

But many questions surround the idea. Do longer days and more time on tasks result in better outcomes, or is this another trend in a long list of education fads?

And how does the district staff, manage, and fund the expansion?

Vargas has sought help from the business and nonprofit communities to

provide services for his initiative. But is that a sustainable approach?

And if the district is already having difficulty with student attendance, what convinces Vargas that students will put up with a longer day?

Lengthening the school day is generally most attractive to administrators of urban

school districts. At least some of the lure stems from charter schools. A longer school day is often touted by charter school leaders and their advocates as one of the fundamental differences between charters and traditional public schools.

More time devoted to instruction, say many teachers and administrators in urban schools, is one of the reasons students in some charters have higher test scores.

And advocates of lengthening the school day often point out that the traditional system was designed for a different society and a much earlier, agriculture-driven economy.

But research on longer school days is far from conclusive. A 2010 report in the Review of Educational Research, “Extending the School Day or School Year,” examined 15 studies dating back to 1985. It showed that extending school time can improve student performance, but it’s not a silver bullet. Teacher effectiveness and how the extra time is used are equally important, the report says. Simply expanding the school day with low quality instruction isn’t going to yield better results, it says.

Nationwide, there are more than 1,000 traditional public schools and charters with longer school days, according to a report by the School Library Journal. And students are engaged in a wide range of activities, including learning another language, receiving help with homework, or participating in a school play.

At both Northeast and School 9, students

have more instruction time devoted to the core subjects.

But they also have more time for art, music, drama, sports, and other enrichment activities. The additional activities are extremely important to city students, Vargas says. He describes it as the challenge of making school more interesting than the street.

And if time during the day is needed for counseling, emotional support, or a visit to the nurse’s office, it usually doesn’t consume as much of the student’s critically important instruction time as it would during a traditional school day.

Students can receive their meals — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — at school, too.

Vargas says it’s an example of how longer days also benefit families. Being in school among caring adults reassures parents that their child is in a safe environment during a time of day when children are especially vulnerable to getting into trouble or becoming victims of crime, he says.

“Say you’re a nurse’s aide at Strong Hospital,” Vargas says. “You can be out of the house for 8 to 10 hours a day. If you have a young child, you are better off because you don’t have to worry about where your child is during that ninth or 10th hour before you can get home.”

What Vargas describes as a holistic approach to extended learning bears some resemblance to the Harlem Children’s Zone and the failed Rochester Children’s Zone. Though it is much smaller in scope, it relies on a wraparound approach to educating poor children.

But Jennifer Leonard, president and CEO of the Community Foundation, dislikes the comparison. The foundation helped secure a grant to support expanded hours at School 9 and Northeast Prep.

“Vargas has taken a homegrown grassroots approach that is different from the Harlem Children’s Zone, which was in some respects a grass-tops approach,” she says. “What I see Vargas doing is engaging the community’s resources very early.”

But expanding the day and the school year will surely test the management skills of teachers, principals, and administrators. In his approach to longer hours, Vargas has created a system with many moving parts, something that would ordinarily be a cause for concern.

Caterina Leone Mannino, the district’s director of extended learning, says the coordination is messy and will require continuous fine-tuning.”

District teachers provide most of the grade-level academic instruction. But enrichment activities, social-emotional counseling, and tutoring are delivered through an elaborate circuitry of volunteers and outside organizations the district refers to as Supplemental Education Service providers.

But a dependency on so many SES providers may not be a bad thing. Some research suggests that urban school districts offering longer school days can be more successful if the effort is driven by the community. Mannino says educating city students should be viewed as a shared responsibility, a public-private partnership.

The Rochester community needs to bring activities and services to children rather than sending children out in all directions to get them, says Caterina Leone Mannino, the Rochester school district’s director of extended learning. ABOVE: More time on task will benefit both students and teachers, says Mary Aronson, Northeast Prep’s principal. PHOTOS BY MIKE HANLON LEFT:

“If I had to describe this problem, I wouldn’t call it an achievement gap,” she says.

“It’s really an opportunity gap. Students from more academically privileged backgrounds have all these opportunities. So the question is how do we close this gap in a central place?

How do we work together as a community to offer these kids dance, drama, and music? It shouldn’t be up to one organization.”

The fluidity among SES providers also serves another need, Mannino says.

Expanding the school day allows school officials to design programs that align with each student’s needs and interests, which can change throughout the school year. A fixed menu for all students doesn’t work, she says.

Coordinating the work of SES providers and

making the best use of students’ time is not the only challenge confronting teachers and administrators. While most school board members agree with Vargas’s extended-hours plan in theory, some are concerned about long-term viability. Though every school in the district has its own annual operating budget, the added hours at Northeast Prep and School 9 come with additional costs.

Vargas has been able to cobble together a mix of funding and community resources, such as grants from the Ford Foundation and the National Center for Time and Learning, help from United Way, and by reallocating some education funds to pay for the longer hours.

And he has been able limit additional labor costs. Some teachers have agreed to a flexible schedule, while some others have been willing to voluntarily work the extra hours.

But at a recent meeting, some school board members grilled Mannino about SES funding.

For example, Board member Melisza Campos asked what happens if the Ford Foundation doesn’t provide another grant.

“If the will is there, it [the funding] will be sustainable,” Vargas says. “We may have to reallocate some of our resources.”

But that won’t be easy. Vargas just announced that the district is facing a $33 million budget gap for the 2013 to 2014 school year.

And some board members question the rationale and process for selecting SES providers. Vargas says he wants the services offered on the schools’ campuses, causing some people to worry that providers will be chosen based on convenience and not quality.

“More students will use the services when they are easy to access,” Vargas says. He cites research from the Afterschool Alliance, that says providing services at the school allows for sharing space and materials, and cuts down on transportation costs. Service providers are also better able to coordinate with students’ teachers and principals.

And there is some concern about who contracts with the service providers: continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

some rough edges, he has managed to draw support from a wide range of politicians, businesses, nonprofits, labor, faith, and educational groups.

Teachers in the schools voted overwhelmingly in support of the longerday format, and local foods giant Wegmans has virtually adopted Northeast Prep. Paul Speranza, vice chair and general counsel for Wegmans, is working with Vargas to improve students’ reading skills.

While Wegmans does not provide financial support to Northeast Prep, Ty Kelly, the company’s director of youth development, is building a volunteer work force to support students, particularly in the area of reading.

“The whole mantra behind all of this is ‘Let’s put the children first in each and every case,’” Speranza says. “We all have our vested interests, whether we’re parents, teachers, whether we live in the neighborhood, or we’re involved with the union, the administration, or politics. We have to put the children first because we’ve failed them.

The results don’t lie.”

I watched Fiamma co-owner Giuseppe Paciullo slide his pizza-laden peel into a wood-burning oven aglow with flame, turned around to jot something down, then, less than a minute later, heard shocked noises coming from photographer Matt DeTurck: “It’s done!?”

Forty-five seconds. That’s how long co-owner Robby Brockler says it takes for Fiamma’s Neapolitan pizza oven, running solely on wood at around 1,000 degrees, to bake a pie, the toppings perfectly done and the crust blistered, crisp-tender, and oh-so-slightly charred. Much like the 19thcentury Italian immigrants themselves, this 6,000-pound behemoth traveled from Italy to America by boat before making its way west... or at least to Rochester’s west side, where it was carefully loaded into the old General Hoock’s space on Buffalo Road and now sits hungrily above a doomed pile of wood.

So after that kind of commitment, it should come as no surprise that pizza is the jewel of Fiamma’s menu. All created with a dough made in-house, the selections range from the gloriously simple Napoletana ($9), adorned with tomato sauce, garlic, oregano, basil, pecorino, and extra-virgin olive oil; to

the autumnal Positano ($14), with butternut squash puree, smoked mozzarella, basil, and spicy pancetta; to the riotous flavors, textures, and temperatures of the yummy San Daniele ($16), which boasts mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, baby arugula, prosciutto, shaved parmigiano-reggiano, and a balsamic cream.

“It’s food that you would eat if you were in Italy,” says Brockler, Fiamma’s Old World authenticity distinguishing it from many of the Italian-American eateries affectionately known as red-sauce joints. The menu also features an oblong, pita-like sandwich called panuozzi, a Campania specialty made from pizza dough that’s quickly puffed then stuffed with, say, porchetta, mozzarella, arugula, and marinated artichoke hearts, as in the Romano ($11). There are, of course, hot and cold antipasti options as well as pasta and meat entrées, like orecchiette with sautéed cauliflower, salty guanciale, velvety besciamella, and toasted panko ($14), and pan-seared pork chops in a Peroni beer sauce with spicy cherry peppers and gorgonzola ($16). The rotating dessert selection includes fat lemons imported from Italy’s Amalfi Coast that have been hollowed out and filled with sorbetto.

The gorgeous, red-tiled oven (except for some strategically placed white tiles that

read “Fiamma”) is the eye-catching heart of the open kitchen, which anchors a cozy space full of charmingly mismatched chairs and tables plus a 10-seat bar. (Wine-andbeer license pending; meanwhile, bring your own.)

Open for just more than a month, Fiamma has benefitted from stellar wordof-mouth, so much so that Brockler and Paciullo are already entertaining the notion of expansion. For now, though, just one place to sample what Fiamma brings to la tavola. Says Brockler, “It’s a good place to start.”

Fiamma is located at 1308 Buffalo Road.

With a seasoned cool, classic noir haberdashery and a velvety voice, Big Sandy commandeered the SS Abilene and positively rocked all souls on deck Tuesday night, October 2.

Along with his Fly-Rite Boys, Sandy ran a nice cross-section review of his lengthy catalogue, from the debut “Fly-Rite With...” to the bust-out Hightone Records smash hit “Jumpin’ From Six to Six.” The kids went wild as the band honored all requests, some even preemptively. I was winding up to yell “Miss Tracy” and the band was already kicking it off.

It’s simple, really; if you say it’s punk rock, it ain’t punk rock. It’s like shouting to the world that you’ve taken a vow of silence. Sure, Cleveland-based Rocket From The Tombs came and went in an explosion of brutal rock ’n’ roll a few years before the punk-rock moniker was getting thrown around, but its influence, and the influence of musical offspring Pere Ubu and The Dead Boys, helped shape a lot of bands that were considered punk. But would it be antithetical to say so?

Who cares? It sounds good, and it sounded good at Lovin’ Cup Friday night as the band — featuring original

members, singer David Thomas and bassist Craig Bell — played virtually everything from its catalogue and songs made popular by its offshoots. Between non-discrete nips from his flask, Thomas wailed nasally on cuts like “Ain’t It Fun” and “Sonic Reducer.” The overall sound came blasting out of the front end in a solid fury for the 100 or so faithful waiting for the benediction.

Mofo’s guitarist Gary Siperko — one of the three newbies in the current line-up — added an incredible thrash, slash, and crash, culminating with lead vocals on “Strychnine.” Very punk rock… or not.

Saturday night, New Jersey’s blues guitar master, Billy Hector, had the packed Dinosaur percolating as he bent, stretched, goosed, and burned the blues with a set full of hot-rodded sonics, arrangements, and lyrics. Hector and his trio took whole sets of lyrics like Bo Diddley’s “I Can Tell” and plugged them into a completely different song style.

The best example was that while covering Hendrix’s “Hey Joe,” he fleshed out the conversation between the narrator and Joe, calling him an “asshole since second grade.” I laughed my head off.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10

I want to see first. Because that’s all you can really do; do what you love and hopefully there are other people in the world that like it too.

Your new movie, “The Lords of Salem,” is less of a gore flick and more psychological.

Is this a new direction for you?

It’s just a different type of movie. It’s not really a violent movie, it’s not a bloody movie. It’s more of a slow-paced suspenseful movie in the vein of “Rosemary’s Baby,” say. It’s more that vibe.

Do your music and filmmaking feed off each other?

When I’m working on a film I’m not thinking about my band or music, it’s just too overwhelming. But when I’m on tour I come up with lots of movie ideas.

Your new album harkens back to a more classic White Zombie sound. Is this a bit of a throwback or unfinished business?

Rob Zombie’s brutal creativity is spread equally over his music and films. Both aspects of his career bleed with a visceral cult verve and classic B-movie horror. Zombie’s work is over the top. Whether rocking the stage with his trademark metal/industrial kerrang or getting his slasher ya-ya’s out on film, one look, one listen and you know it’s Zombie. As the leader of White Zombie, he gave just a glimpse of his focus and capabilities – capabilities that have earned him seven Grammy nominations and created nouveau classics like “The Devil’s Rejects,” “House of 1000 Corpses,” and a cool remake of “Halloween.” And just to prove it ain’t all underground, you’ve gotta check out his Woolite commercial.

Zombie called from his crypt to discuss his new movie, his new album, and the fact that there won’t be a duet with him and Marilyn 14 City OCTOBER 10-16, 2012

It is a throwback in the sense that I feel it’s a more sophisticated version of what we were doing back in the day. White Zombie used to write these really long songs and create these song structures that went all over the place, but they weren’t necessarily honed properly.

Are we going to get a taste of it on this tour?

Manson on this tour. An edited transcript of the conversation follows.

CITY: Is there one movie or event that sent you down this horror path?

Rob Zombie: Yeah, I think it was when I saw

“King Kong.” I remember being obsessed with that movie at a very, very young age. I don’t know if I saw it first on TV but I definitely remember one time going to the local public library, it was a rainy afternoon and they had 35mm reels they were showing in the basement. I was maybe in kindergarten or something. But even before that, I was born in 1965, so in the late 60’s there was a real horror boom, like on TV, “The Munsters,” “The Addams Family,” “The Twilight Zone,” and all these great double-feature shows. It was in the air. I don’t know, I’ve just always loved it.

What’s the common thread that runs through all you do?

I just really do what I like. I assume that’s what any artist does, though I’m not sure. There are things that you like and you feel they don’t exist, and it’s something you make. We say all the time, “If I wasn’t in this band, I would wish I was in this band,” because it has everything we love about it. Yeah, I make movies that maybe don’t make sense to some people, and to some people they do, but they’re the things that

No, I won’t be playing any of it because the record’s not out yet. I don’t think anybody’s paid their money to hear me test new songs on them.

How come this “Twins of Evil Tour” took so long to come together?

It’s one of those things we’ve been talking about for a long time. It seemed very obvious, but somehow the years would slip by. It was the same thing last year when I did the tour with Alice Cooper, everybody was like, “Oh, this is so obvious, why did it take so long?”

Maybe because it was so obvious, nobody was rushing to do it. It’s been a great tour though.

Do you guys do anything together on stage?

No.

So no duets?

Not at all. They do their show then we come out and do our show.

What makes a good Rob Zombie show?

I like our show to play almost like a movie.

We have a ton of production: video, pyrotechnics, giant robots. I just want the show to be completely over the top visual experience so when you’re there, for the two hours that you’re there I want to transform you to another place so when the show ends you’re like, “Whoa I almost forgot I was here” — like a great movie will do to you.

ALTERNATIVE | Young Empires

JAZZ/METAL | Pillow Fight Accident

If your idea of a perfect night involves tropical beats and a balance between synth and guitar-driven rock, then Young Empires will make you head straight for the dance floor. The Toronto quartet blends the grandiosity of bands like The Killers with feel-good pop a la Black Kids. The result is a modern disco-like soundtrack that could be this year’s fling. By the time lead vocalist Matthew Vlahovich sings “loosen up from the hips down / build it up from the ground” on “Against The Wall” you’ll get your groove. Jacob Palahnuk (bass), Robert Aaron Ellingson (guitars), and Taylor Hill (drums) round out the rest of the band. Kids With a Z and Low Flying Planes open the show.

You get what you deserve when you combine jazz and metal. It seems more akin to picking a fight than choosing a genre, yet Pillow Fight Accident picks and explores and abuses the cracks between the keys in sharp twists that go from horribly dissonant to mildly serene. It’s as if the band is laying track just inches in front of the train. This ain’t for the lightweights. Nod and Cottage Jefferson also play.

now taking orders for fresh THANKSGIVING TURKEYS! AMERICANA | Woody Dodge

This Rochester-based foursome began playing together in the mid-80’s, and its impressive staying power has been driven by a unique mix of musical styles including country, rock, folk, and even punk. Its distinctive brand of Americana garnered some critical acclaim with the release of its first album, “Emma’s Dance,” in 1995. Woody Dodge started popping up on college-radio rotations and the exposure eventually led to the band lending music from its debut disc to the long-running daytime soap “As the World Turns.” The band has poured its decades of experience into its most recent effort, “Humble Me,” another installment of finely crafted, simply executed roots-rock that is sure to leave its mark.

[ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Within the increasingly popular field of collectible plastic and resin art toys, some artists are set apart by the ambitiousness injected into their creations. Acting as a sort of modern-day mixture of Gepetto and Dr. Frankenstein, Bob Conge cannibalizes old toys to produce new, imaginative creations and invents complex, entertaining worlds from which each one-off or small-edition-series beast hails. The current show at Phillips Fine Art and Frame showcases his recent sculptural works, as well as some art prints of his installation work. “’The Toy as Art’ would be a befitting phrase to describe the arena my recent work inhabits,” says Conge in a provided statement. “These are pieces inspired by the vivid memories of a fervent belief in the likes of Santa and Frankenstein, the tragic loss of that vibrant reality, and on occasion my revulsion with the reality of today.” Conge’s work celebrates dwelling in a more innocent, richly imaginative state of childlike immersion in endless possibility, but he also occasionally shows his fully mature and critical-of-thisworld’s-evils mind with works that comment on war and greed. One example of such works is “Death Panzer,” a terrifying skull fixed to a tank toy, ready to wreak havoc on your best frenemy’s toy armies, but also emerging from 18 City october 10-16, 2012

growing up, but he’s retained his sense of wonder and works consciously against the learned trait of self-censorship, which murders the creative impulse in so very many adults. Conge describes his early process as pure, unfiltered, unselfconscious play – while sketching out new ideas in the early mornings, he lets his creativity flow without questioning it. “Almost all of my ideas for new pieces come to me during this period upon waking from sleep and I spend the rest of the day working out how I can bring the ideas to life,” he says. “I have no idea where the ideas come from and I do not force or try to direct the process, I just let it happen as if I am listening to the voice of someone else.”

The toys that Conge creates exceed the wildest dreams of any kid, but are fragile collectibles meant for adults. His works of sheer awesomeness include “Great White Gunkanjima Kaiju,” a shark-head-topped piece with crab claws for arms, and a torso and legs completely covered with shells, ropes, squids, tentacles, and more in monochrome. LED lights inside the figure shift the colors and glow through perforated scars on the shark face. The glow-in-the-dark “Ice Cream Stone Walker” is a menacing though sherbetcolored ice giant with a craggy texture.

The show also includes several large folio, limitededition prints of shrines created by Conge, which are inspired by the contextual forms of Mexican nichos as well as roadside shrines to accident victims that I saw while traveling in Greece. The works combine the familiar images of Mickey and Minnie Mouse, religious iconography, hearts, honey-soaked tea-bags, and other bits of minutiae. “My boxes imply the historic connection to their inspirational form,”

complex tales and personal mythologies. The artist founded Plaseebo in 2004 as a shop dedicated to creating unique one-of-a-kind collectible figures and designing original figures for his Ultra Limited editions. The website includes a charming, hauntingly sweet allegedly 4,000-yearold “backstory” of Walter, an elderly (and possibly dead) collector of broken, discarded, and forgotten toys, who passes the time allowing ghost children assist him with his creations.

Walter, of course, is Bob Conge. “I am a collector, and have always been as far as I can recall,” writes the artist on his website. “I remember, as a young boy, my most prized possession being a small box in which I kept colorful or uniquely shaped stones, butterfly wings, bird’s feet, dried flowers, a skull I had carved from wood, a small red plastic A-Bomb, and a wavewashed piece of deep blue glass.” Even early on, the artist consciously grouped components from nature and of his own creation, alone or combined rife with possibility and symbolism.

“This first collection was a micro cosmos of my world at that time,” says Conge.

While in college, Conge took out a student loan he didn’t need in order to finance an eccentric operation: traveling door-to-door to buy up unwanted and hopefully unique toys from the attics of strangers. “Thus began a collection of early American cast-iron, horsedrawn fire wagons, pre-war wind-up German tin litho vehicles, and on and on,” says Conge.

Conge hand-sculpts all of the Plaseebo figures and hand paints every piece of each of his editions, which are typically limited to four or five pieces, but rarely exceed 15 in number, such as the glowin-the-dark “Plaseebo Mummy,” in two editions of five pieces each. The current show includes dozens of Conge’s small, seamless sculptural figures in vinyl and resin, which fit into different categories of creatures, each with their own back stories.

Babydolls and animal hybrids, aliens, beasts, robots, zombies, and more call up the childhood story, “The Island of Misfit Toys.”

Though many of the pieces are brutish in a boy’s-world manner, a few have a certain extra level of darkness injected into the works, a biting sarcasm directed at frustrating evils. “Sometimes the process is sparked by my concern for what I see as deplorable human behavior, such as our war in Iraq,” says Conge, “which inspired my ‘War’ figure,” a skull-topped beast with horns and a gaping red maw and claws, its body crawling with the tiniest of toy soldiers. Other times, it’s the banks and “their unfair practices,” says Conge, that invoke his ire, and inspire works such as “Bank of America/Come Suckle on the Tit of Credit,” which is a toy piggy bank with bottle nipples for teats and a skull face, which can be hidden by strapping on a little mask of a human face.

RECREATION | Reading the Stories in Trees

Picture yourself cross-country skiing among an ancient oak-hickory forest, the sounds of the city drowned out by downy snow on heavy branches. Or wandering with a (leashed) canine friend through sun-dappled paths in midsummer. Washington Grove is a 27-acre park located next to Cobbs Hill, home to 200-plus-year-old trees and glacial topography, and is an environmentally sensitive area endangered by invasive species and erosion. This year, the City of Rochester will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the grove with a number of events.

On Saturday, October 13, join Sierra Club naturalist Peter Debes for “Reading the Stories in the Trees,” an exploration of the trials and tribulations of some of the oldest timbers in the grove. Meet just east of the Cobbs Hill Reservoir off Highland Avenue at 11 a.m. for the free informational walk.

Upcoming events include a talk with horticulturalist Michael Warren Thomas about the diversity of flora in the grove, to be held October 26, and volunteer work sessions on October 13, 26, and November 17, 9-11 a.m. For more information, visit cityofrochester.gov/Washingtongrove.

THEATER | “Pomme is French for Apple”

The First Niagara Rochester Fringe Festival is behind us, but you can enjoy the “fruits” of the Toronto Fringe Festival this week when the critically acclaimed “Pomme is French for Apple,” which won Best of the Fringe and Patron’s Pick at the 2012 Toronto festival, hits Downstairs Cabaret Theatre this week. Written by and starring Liza Paul and Bahia Watson, the play is a humorous West Indian look at the complexities of womanhood, and has been likened to “The Vagina Monologues,” if they were told from the point of view of the ladyparts – “pomme” is also Caribbean slang for female genitalia.

The show opens at the 20 Windsor Street location of Downstairs Cabaret on Thursday, October 11, and will continue through October 20 on the following days: Thursdays at 8 p.m., and Fridays-Saturdays at 9 p.m. Tickets are $25, with discounts available for seniors, students, and groups.

THEATER | “Mary Poppins”

I vividly recall being completely enthralled as a child by “Mary Poppins.” The title character was beautiful and wise and independent, and seemed to get the children in her charge into more trouble than they did by themselves. Her best friends were the birds and her secret crush, a chimney sweep who seemed as unexpectedly magical as she. When I watched the film again as an adult, I appreciated it for other reasons, such as the nanny’s musical attempt to get the kids to help feed the poor (by buying birdseed from the old eccentric woman) instead of investing their money in the bank, as their huffing and puffing father wanted them to do.

You can relive the magic and the social undertones of the film this week at the Auditorium Theatre (885 E. Main St). The live musical version of “Mary Poppins” will run through Sunday, October 14. Performance hours are Wednesday and Thursday, 7:30 p.m.; Friday 8 p.m.; Saturday 2 & 8 p.m.; and Sunday 1 & 6:30 p.m. Tickets cost $32.50-$77.50 before fees, and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000.

SPECIAL EVENT | Meliora Weekend

Since its founding in 1850, the University of Rochester has been one of the most central hubs of activity in this city. Each year for its annual parents and alumni reunion weekend, which the university blankets under the term “Meliora Weekend,” that hub seems to explode with a surplus of people, events, and ideas. While this weekend usually includes shows for the UR community by a variety of performance groups on campus, many free, informative, and interesting lectures open to the public also abound.

Topics vary widely, but here are some of the 2012 highlights: With the national presidential election looming, politics is high on the list of discussion topics. On Saturday, October 13, at 2 p.m. Gerald Gamm, associate professor of political science and history, and David Primo, associate professor of political science and business administration, will discuss the candidates and the issues in “Election 2012: What’s at Stake?” in Hubbell Auditorium.

For all the Giants fans out there, you may be excited to hear that former linebacker Harry Carson will be a featured panelist in the Miller’s Court discussion entitled “Intercollegiate Athletics – Who Are They Playing For?” The forum takes place in Hubbell Auditorium at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 13. Along with Carson, panelists will include Dana Jacobson, former sports anchorwoman for ESPN, Michael D. Maloney, professor of orthopedics at U of R and team physician for the Red Wings, and others.

If you’re a little more arts-minded, take a look at the Presidential Symposium on “The Humanities, Artistic Expression, and the Digital Age: Innovation and Opportunities.” The lecture takes place on Saturday, October 13, at 2 p.m. in Strong Auditorium and will feature professors from MIT, Duke, and Florida International University (Stanley Fish of FIU pictured).

From Paris to Istanbul [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“Taken 2” (PG-13), directed by Oliver Megaton Now playing

As everyone knows, in the film industry success tends to breed success, and of course too often excess also breeds excess, which helps to explain the common practice of proliferating sequels to pictures that bring in the big bucks. Mixing memory and desire, the studio executives, bankers, accountants, and agents, or in other words, the people who really make movies, often choose the safe route of repeating the past and hoping for the future. Without that

repetition, we wouldn’t have those franchise flicks, an ancient Hollywood tradition, and genre critics would suffer a certain impoverishment of material.

“Taken 2,” the latest example of a somewhat unlikely and apparently extremely profitable sequel, demonstrates the industry’s unquenchable thirst for duplication. Repeating much of the substance of its predecessor and starring the same people, the movie also suggests that its star, Liam Neeson, who last year appeared in another thriller, “Unknown,” now joins a number of contemporary male performers, like Russell Crowe, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Jake Gyllenhaal, who have moved from a variety of more or less orthodox dramatic roles to taking on parts in action pictures. The practice may serve the same purpose as the Western, that great form of days gone by, in establishing the virility of a star, making it a sort of manhood ritual.

By bringing back the original characters and the actors who played

them, the new movie actually repeats itself more closely than most sequels. Neeson once again plays Bryan Mills, a former CIA agent who now freelances as some sort of international security consultant. It also once again stars Maggie Grace as his daughter Kim and Famke Janssen as his ex-wife Lenore, now suffering from the emotional cruelty of her new husband, a character who never really appears in the movie, making his absence a presence.

In the first “Taken” Neeson employed all his skills as an operative to rescue his daughter from a vicious organization that abducted young women for the sex trade. He drove all over Paris, frequently right through a number of buildings, in pursuit of the racketeers and, after a good deal of violent action, of course succeeded in the rescue; he knocked off a number of bad guys and dispatched the ringleader in an appropriately picturesque manner.

The situation in the new movie not only resembles but in effect grows out of its predecessor. An Albanian gangster, Murad Krasniqi (Rade Serbedzija), the father of the man Bryan Mills killed, gathers his clan and his henchmen on a mission to revenge the loss in the bloodiest and most painful way he can devise. They stalk Mills in Istanbul, and after a desperate chase, capture him and his ex-wife; with the help of her father’s instructions on a hidden cell phone, Kim eludes them and assists her father in a complicated and violent rescue.

“Taken 2” runs on the same high-octane fuel that propelled the plot of first picture — numerous shootouts, several frenzied automobile chases through Istanbul, some of them in stolen taxis, leaving a shocking amount of damaged cars, ruined market stalls, and dead Albanians in their wake. A running gag in the movie involves Kim’s flunking her driving test twice, which does not stop her from negotiating the narrow streets at high speed like a NASCAR driver who’s ingested more than his usual ration of crystal meth.

Some of the best moments actually reflect brainwork rather than violence, showing the ingenious methods by which a handcuffed and blindfolded Bryan Mills works out the route and location of his captors and tells his daughter how to find him. The sheer process of his deductions and her response constitute a useful counterpoint to all the beatings and bullets.

Liam Neeson proves himself a worthy actor and a convincing action hero — tough, understated, refreshingly ruthless, but a doting father with just the sort of sentimentality that so many American films exploit in order to redeem a man who kills a great many people.

His impressive physical presence and rugged countenance mask a certain gentleness and vulnerability, qualities we like to see in our tough guys; as the critics often suggest, the American hard-boiled heroes usually turn out to be soft on the inside.

This is the information age, but there was a time relatively recently when we didn’t know everything about everyone.

That air of mystery could be incredibly frustrating, especially, if you’re in Cape Town and you want to know more about your favorite musician, an American singer-songwriter called Rodriguez who released two albums in the early 70’s and then...nothing. Rumor was that Rodriguez had died, possibly a gruesome suicide on stage from a gunshot wound or self-immolation. So in the mid-90’s two South African super-fans became curious enough to work the transatlantic phones and scour enigmatic lyrics to learn Rodriguez’s fate. What they found is the thumping, passionate heart of the stirring documentary “Searching For Sugar Man.”

Who is Rodriguez? Good question.

America was largely indifferent to the folk rock of Sixto Rodriguez, his lyrics informed by his upbringing amidst the decay of Detroit and delivered like the impossible love child of Bob Dylan and James Taylor.

In the late 70’s, though, Rodriguez’s first record, “Cold Fact,” somehow reached the shores of South Africa, and its defiant spirit struck a chord with the young Afrikaners fighting the injustice of apartheid. He became, we learn, more popular than Elvis, and “much bigger than the Rolling Stones,” according to one fan. “Searching For Sugar Man” balances awed recollections from the South African contingent with the harsh American reality, including sad elegies from colleagues lamenting his lack of success and defensive memories from a seemingly shady recordcompany executive.

“Searching For Sugar Man” is the first film by Swedish director Malik Bendjelloul, who proves to be a bit of a poet himself, with bits of “Waltz With Bashir”-type animation woven through unnecessarily gorgeous cinematography.

(Making sunny Cape Town look good ain’t hard, but the beauty he elicits from rainy, neon-kissed Detroit is otherworldly.)

Now, you may be waiting for me to tell you whether they found Rodriguez, and I’m not going to do that. Some questions get answered; some, disappointingly, do not. It’s best to put your virtual blinders on (no Wikipedia!) and approach “Searching For Sugar Man” as a mystery, with all the twists, turns, and surprises attendant to that genre, along with the uncomplicated joy found in the tale of a life lived honestly. horror films, or more specifically slasher flicks. I understand the adrenalin rush of shock, but I don’t see what pleasure is derived by watching fake throats getting slit or someone being relieved of several feet of his intestines. I love inventive

filmmaking, however, and though it’s not always successful, the horror anthology “V/H/S” does feature some pretty clever ideas in the course of its overlong running time. It goes about this in the now-ubiquitous found-footage manner, a creative blessing to filmmaking on the cheap and to those able to tell a story with what’s not on screen. Unfortunately, “V/ H/S” conspicuously embraces a few old clichés: horny young people deserve to die, basements are deadly, and two boobs are always better than none.

“V/H/S” is made up of five short films, with a sixth serving as a framing device.

Directed by Adam Wingard, this mostly uninteresting thread is called “Tape 56” and follows a quartet of destructive jerks on a housebreaking mission. “All we gotta do is steal this one VHS tape,” declares one of them, in those proverbial famous last words. David Bruckner’s unremarkable “Amateur Night” tags along with a few coked-up idiots who neglect to notice that the hot girl they’re planning to tripleteam is probably a feral demon. Glenn McQuaid’s kinda tense “Tuesday the 17th” puts a high-tech spin on the doomedcamper plot, while “10/31/98,” by a filmmaking quartet called Radio Silence, offers up a creepy, convincing argument against being a Good Samaritan.

Mumblecore pioneer Joe Swanberg is involved in the two highlights of “V/ H/S.” He stars in the unnerving “Second Honeymoon,” by “The Innkeepers” director Ti West, as a husband hoping to protect his wife from a possible stalker, and Swanberg directs “The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger,” a series of disturbing Skype sessions between a young woman and her medical-student boyfriend with a slick twist. Horror fans take note: “V/H/S” screens as part of the Little’s Halloween Project 5, in years past a 24-hour movie marathon but this year divvied up into less-grueling portions.

THEATRE OF BLOOD

Thursday, Oct. 11, 8 p.m.

Soon after the apparent suicide of Shakespearean actor Edward Lionheart (Vincent Price), someone begins murdering the critics who once savaged the notorious ham’s career. But here’s the rub: they’re being killed off in elaborate set-pieces inspired by the Bard’s own plays. Itself inspired by The Abominable Dr. Phibes, this wickedly entertaining shocker about an underrated actor who takes his ultimate revenge was always one of Price’s personal favorites. (Douglas Hickox, UK 1973, 104 min.)

Halloween

Sunday, Oct. 14, 2 p.m.

The ant population of New Mexico has been mutating for nine years, ever since the first nuclear test in the desert. Now nine feet tall and breeding, the monstrous creatures are cutting a swath of destruction straight to Los Angeles. Scary fun for the whole family, Halloween wouldn’t be complete without the first giant insect film, a classic of nuclear-age paranoia. (Gordon Douglas, US 1954, 94 min.)

Ryan Smith 585-201-0724

There’s a renaissance happening in postindustrial cities around the country—one residence at a time, pioneers are revitalizing and repopulating traditional urban centers.

Some of these new urbanites are looking to limit the time, cost, and environmental impact of commuting to work and play. Maybe they desire a location with history. Others may simply want to live in an exciting place where people are gathering. Regardless of the reasons, we can all agree that healthy downtowns need residents!

Rochester is at the exciting beginning of this trend, and with all 20 units at the nearby Lofts at Capron Street sold, the brand new build at North Plymouth Terrace is the next wave in downtown’s offerings for homebuyers. Located directly across from the Hochstein School of Music, the location will soon include 24 single-family attached homes. The model is open for viewing, and the first six units can be ready within 90 days of purchase―one of these is already sold and occupied. The adjacent commercial space at the corner of Plymouth and Main is slated to include a downtown post office branch (November 2012) and will have space for additional commercial properties. It’s hard to believe that just a year and a half ago the site was a surface parking lot, but go back a hundred years and you’d have found yourself at a safe house on the Underground Railroad, the home of prominent abolitionists Isaac and Amy Post.

Entrance from Plymouth Avenue is via the friendly brick façade, though as a homeowner you’d likely be entering via the alley in the back, which provides access to each unit’s two cargarage. An additional parking space behind the garage and overflow parking for guests are also available. A private, grassy, and covered courtyard leads to each 1800 squarefoot home. Various layout options include an open-plan living room/dining room/kitchen; 2-3 bedrooms; 2.5 baths; and a full basement.

The second floors feature bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, ample closets, laundry room, plus high ceilings and great city views.

Customizable upgrades to finishes and materials are available throughout.

The owner will enjoy a COMIDA tax abatement on this property, paying taxes on just 10% of the property assessment the first year. This rate will increase by 10% each year until the owner is paying taxes on the full assessed value of the home. Another bonus: there are no HOA fees at this development.

With all the new construction and refurbishing of historic buildings, there are nearly 600 new residents living downtown. Be part of the trend by calling Richard Sarkis of Nothnagle (585-455-4504). Prices for these homes start at $199,900 and more details can be found at rochestercityliving.com/property/R192905.
