EROI (Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative)

The Occupiers versus the selling of America The closer we get to the presidential election, the more worried I get — not just about the election outcome but also about what’s happening to the country.

And what’s happening is being laid out in stark relief, in the data coming out of Washington, in the reaction to the Occupy movement, in the actions and attitude of political leaders.

We’re a segregated nation: segregated by race, ethnicity, and geography, and we’re growing increasingly segregated by income and political philosophy. And while that is happening, the influence of money is growing in politics. The result could very well be a nation more oligarchy than democracy.

You saw the statistics on income last week, from the Congressional Budget Office: The top 1 percent of Americans have gotten dramatically richer. Middleincome and poor Americans have lost ground. And the gap between the rich and the not-rich has gotten wider.

The Occupy protesters, along with quite a few journalists, have been trying to wake us up to all this — with some success.

Forty-three percent of the respondents in a recent New York Times-CBS poll said they agree with the views of the Occupiers; only 27 percent said they disagree. Sixty-six percent of the respondents said they believe wealth distribution in the US should be more equitable.

But the Occupy protesters and the journalists don’t run the country. The people who do (and the people who don’t yet, but want to) have an entirely different view. Far from worrying about our wealth disparity, they’re perfectly happy with it.

If we deserved to be rich, apparently, we would be. (The protesters, says Herman Cain, are “jealous.”)

In an enlightening Times article last month, reporters Nelson Schwartz and Eric Dash reported on their interviews with Wall Street bankers about the Occupy protest.

They were told that the protesters are a fringe group, that they’re “just bitter about their own economic fate,” and that rather than protest, they should be grateful to the financial industry.

One money manager said he was “disappointed that members of Congress from New York, especially Senator Charles E. Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, had not come out swinging for an industry that donates heavily to their campaigns,” Schwartz and Dash wrote. “‘They need to understand who their constituency is,’ he said.”

Wall Street knows that the US government has been bought and paid for, by itself and other big-money interests.”

Uh huh. As Wall Street knows, the US government has been bought and paid for, by itself and other big-money interests.

Will the Occupy movement have any lasting effect? Winter’s coming on, which will make things hard for the protesters in much of the country. Wall Street and the others don’t have to sit outside in the cold to press their influence. Phone calls, strolls through the halls of the Capitol, nice big checks: those’ll do the job.

Maybe Occupy and other movements can rally Americans through the internet.

Maybe concern will grow, and in next year’s election, voters will end money’s grip on elected officials. Maybe we’ll all come together.

The Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson is hopeful. “If Americans were to realize they’ve been the victims of Republican-style redistribution — stealing from the poor to give to the rich — the whole political atmosphere might change,” he wrote last week.

But then there are our other divisions.

We’re united in name only. Much of the time, and on many of the important issues, we are poles apart — and distrustful. And intolerant, dismissive of any viewpoint but our own.

Can this kind of populace be pulled together? We certainly have common interests. But even in the best of times, in this country, our differences can overwhelm our similarities. And this isn’t the best of times.

And the country’s moneyed interests will be able to spend whatever it takes to buy whatever they want in Washington.

And the Supreme Court has made it easier for them to do that.

Winter or no winter, the Occupiers need to keep Occupying.

Otterness and MAG

The Memorial Art Gallery’s commission for sculpture by Tom Otterness resulted in protests from critics upset that as a young artist, he shot a dog and filmed its death.

And our coverage of the controversy brought a flood of comments. Among them are these edited samples.

In the late 1970’s, to celebrate her 50th birthday, Jackie Owens gathered a bunch of friends, collected as much as $100 from each and with the proceeds, commissioned an artist to design an anti-war billboard to be posted overlooking the Rochester Inner Loop.

The billboard company at first refused to install the image showing a corpse on a slab. Eventually, the poster was erected but shown for only a short time.

In the early 1980’s, to protest the proliferation of nuclear devices, artists throughout the city lay down on sidewalks and traced each others’ body outlines in chalk, to illustrate how many of our neighbors and friends would be dead should nuclear war not be relegated to the trash bin of history.

In 1991, Dawson Gallery with the help of a few dedicated public and private citizens installed a largescale outdoor sculpture exhibit in Highland Park.

Visitors were invited to stroll through the gardens and admire the sculpture at absolutely no cost. The sculptures were on view for three months before being returned to their makers nationwide. The event was never repeated.

Nathan Lyons was the genius behind Montage ’93, a citywide art happening.

Exhibits and art performances took place throughout downtown Rochester, in

nearly every museum, vacant building, and parking lot, and attracted the attention of national and international art admirers. Although the event was a huge success, it was never repeated.

These events and others like them held the possibility of putting Rochester squarely in the cross-hairs of a unique art-community identity, just as more recently, with extravagant city support, the Jazz Festival has stamped us with pride of place and the financial boon that accompanies great creativity.

Instead, we argue now over the qualities of an artist who makes bronze versions of Teletubbies, and the most creative idea we come up with is yet more lumps of metal placed on the grass.

This is all so discouraging.

SHIRLEY M. DAWSON

There are many artists willing to work on a project like this. Why select one who is capable of making such a completely amoral mistake?

You don’t just accidentally disregard life and then say: “Hey, I was young and stupid; sorry about that. Now on to talking about the deep moral implications of my most recent art piece.”

KRISLYN DILLARD

Focusing on Otterness and his action 34 years ago does nothing to stop animal cruelty. For example, it sheds no light on the daily abuse of millions of animals — particularly in the area of factory farming — and what role each of us has in this. And as an artist and someone who values the role art plays in our society, I’m deeply concerned about the far-reaching implications of this controversy.

While I appreciate the dialogue it has brought forth, I would encourage the MAG to not give in to any of the protestors’ demands. I don’t want museum staff and board members to start making decisions about buying and exhibiting art based on a need to avoid controversy.

One of the roles of art is to raise difficult questions and

challenge societal conventions. Museums provide a much needed public venue for this. If museums no longer fulfill this role, we will be left with the equivalent of motel-room paintings. I encourage others who feel as I do to speak out and show their support for the MAG. TANYA SMOLINSKY

The photos of his model and the rendering of the proposed sculptures showed the centerpiece to consist of a simplistic happy face stuck on top of a cone-like body with disproportionate limbs.

This is the best artist MAG can find? The proposed statues rival even the poorest quality cartoon figures. I do like Mr. Otterness’s concept for the series of sculptures, though, and have a suggestion that would solve the dilemma: pay him for his idea, and commission a more talented artist to actually do the sculpting.

CHRIS GLANTZ, PITTSFORD

Reading about the concept of a female figure sculpting a male figure, I envisioned something lifelike, and it sounded intriguing. I was dismayed to turn the page and to be confronted with “sculpture” which appears to be in the genre of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Do these cartoon figures, disconnected from each other, represent the best that contemporary sculptors can create?

DAVID W. SOULE, PENN YAN

There was no sane reason to tie a dog to a fence, shoot it, then film the dog’s tortured death. Nice guy; I’m sure he’s changed quite a bit.

And if he has, why wouldn’t he contribute to helping animals instead of mentioning that gee, he’s been thinking about the episode for 34 years?

SAM W.

I love the deer that roam the woods. It’s like art right outside my window, yet I know that every November, people have a right to get a hunting license to kill those beautiful animals. The “art” over many a fireplace

is a deer head with a full rack. Just yesterday, I read a report about the chambered nautilus, which has been fished to near extinction so that women can wear artistic jewelry made from the pearlescent shells. And those soft, calf ’s-leather gloves you love… you know they kill the calf to make those beautiful accessories, right?

Do we insist the manufacturer apologize before we’re willing to buy its products?

CATHY ANDERSON, IRONDEQUOIT

If Otterness was so inspired

by Susan B. Anthony and her impact on championing women’s rights, how could MAG accept his proposal, which portrays an infantilized female whose only focus is on creating/finding a perfect male companion?

Anthony challenged the status quo of women as property with few rights.

MAG, like Wegmans or Macy’s, runs like any business, providing consumers what they ask for. It’s time to cease being consumers and propagators of the very violence that we oppose.

JOHN CARBONARO

Otterness’s dog shooting “art” project at age 25 was certainly a reprehensible act. But I agree that his multi-decade repudiation of that act removes any disqualification of him for a MAG commission. And I also agree that MAG shouldn’t be timid and give in to every minor criticism thrown its way.

However, I can’t help but hope that Otterness’s critics succeed. His proposed pieces don’t rise to the standard of existing outdoor sculpture in this area or any other that I’d like to spend time in. This was the best proposal that was submitted to MAG? Really? Damn.

That certainly doesn’t speak highly of something: The state of sculpture in America. The drawing power of MAG for the best sculptors.

The quality of the selection process. Something is seriously messed up, man.

STEVE MURPHY

I’m so tired of this perceived code amongst “artists” that we must accept every thing being thrown at us so long as it is recognized as brilliant by the cool kids. Are you kidding me? It’s like an entire community of people with arrested development at best, utterly pretentious at any rate. I don’t care if Otterness has sculpted monuments that make the Gods weep, the MAG is a business run on funding from private members. If they choose to alienate anyone with a conscience for the sake of appearing hip to the “notice me, notice me” art community, that’s their choice. It’s the choice of the members to walk away.

LISA SKAVIENSKI

We have so many REAL, on-going problems that it’s a shame to get distracted by non-issues. We have a huge problem with pet overpopulation. Breeders and pet stores sell the products of puppy mills. Local governments are passing breed-specific legislation, banning pit bulls and other so-called “vicious” breeds. And if that’s not bad enough for you, there’s animal agriculture: around nine billion animals are slaughtered each year in the US. (And by the way, why are there no vegan options on the menu for the restaurant that’s inside the MAG?). If you want to help animals, then adopt homeless pets from shelters or rescue groups (not from breeders or pet stores), make sure all your pets are spayed/neutered, and stop eating animals and animal products.

ALEX CHERNAVSKY

The thing that is beginning to take over my ire at the inclusion of this guy’s sculpture is the attitude of Grant Holcomb about it: an “in-your-face” refusal to back away from what must certainly be called a massive protest.

HJ CRAVER

I’m surprised we haven’t heard from Fisher-Price about this.

They’ll be pretty angry about this guy stealing their designs for people. I have an F-P family camper at home, and

County budget proposal out

Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks proposed a $1.1-billion budget for 2012 that keeps the tax rate flat at $8.99 per $1,000 of assessed value.

In response, Democrats said that Monroe County residents will pay more in taxes through increases in charge-backs, which are fees charged directly to residents of a town for a county service.

Superintendent search firm hired, committee formed

The city school board voted to contract with the search firm Ray and Associates to help identify candidates for the permanent superintendent position. The decision was made over the objections of some local education-activist groups.

The board also appointed eight people to serve as advisors to the search. They are: Jack Cannon, CEO of Cannon Industries; Carlos Carballada, city commissioner; Loretta Scott, City Council member; Emeterio Otero, dean at Monroe Community College; and RCSD parents Giancarlo Giannini, Felix Jacobs, Kimberly McKinsey-Mabry, and Victoria Robertson.

Occupy Rochester presented a letter to Mayor Tom Richards yesterday, inviting the mayor to participate in one of Occupy’s daily general assembly meetings.

A handful of Occupiers was supposed to meet with Richards at City Hall yesterday to discuss the occupation of Washington Square Park, but plans changed.

“We feel that discussion should be done openly and in the presence of the General Assembly,” the letter says.

“We cannot possibly represent truly the positions of all involved parties with a small delegation as was requested.”

Occupy Rochester has also asked Richards to dismiss the charges against Occupiers who have been arrested, though it’s not clear Richards has that power.

Occupy Rochester has established a permanent presence in Washington Square Park, though it’s not the way group members originally planned.

Occupiers tried to spend the night in Washington Square last Friday, with the goal of establishing an around-the-clock occupation there.

But the attempt ended in 32 arrests.

City officials say park hours are

being strictly enforced for safety and sanitary reasons.

The group has been maintaining a presence in the park from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. When Washington Square closes at 11 p.m., several Occupiers march on the sidewalk around the park.

Some occupiers say around-the-clock occupation is crucial to provide an alwaysopen forum where anyone can drop in for discussion or workshops.

“It allows for a constant progressive social space,” says occupier Colin O’Malley, organizing director for Metro Justice.

The occupiers also want to signal that they aren’t going away.

“We feel the other venues that we’ve had to air our grievances, we’re shut out of: Congress, the executive, the halls of power,” says occupier Brian Lenzo. “We feel ignored, and so we go to the spaces we know: our campuses, our public parks, and our city’s streets.”

Occupy Rochester plans to march on City Hall at 4 p.m. Wednesday, though that plan may change.

Regardless, there will be some form of action on Wednesday.

Members of City Council and County Legislature Democrats are calling on County Executive Maggie Brooks to restore money for lead inspections in Rochester.

Brooks’ 2012 proposed budget contains $220,000 to fund lead inspections through the end of the city’s fiscal year. The funding, about $440,000 annually, ends after that. | Last year marked the first uptick in reported child lead-poisoning cases in 10 years. | “The county’s going to be eliminating its contribution at the worst possible time,” says Legislator Carrie Andrews. | County officials say the increase is minor and doesn’t indicate a trend. | In 2010, the county eliminated a program that required landlords to perform safety assessments, including lead testing, before housingassistance recipients moved in. The program was ineffective, says county spokesperson Noah Lebowitz. | Although the county ended the program, it did promise to give the city one more year of funding, so city officials could improve the certificate of occupancy inspections, Lebowitz says. | City and county staff, along with community advocates, are discussing ways to more efficiently and effectively detect and abate lead, he says.

ELECTIONS | BY JEREMY MOULE AND CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

County exec: the race that wasn’t Democrats in the County Legislature would be surprised, if not astonished, to hear that — at least according to Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks — the majority of their proposals get through the Legislature.

“I’m not sure what she means by that,” says Democratic Minority Leader Ted O’Brien. “If she’s talking about administrative referrals, like accepting a grant from the University of Rochester, 90 percent or more are passed unanimously. In terms of referrals initiated by Democrats, the record is abysmal. We can’t get referrals through.”

In fact, we can remember less than a handful of Democratic proposals passing during eight years of Brooks’ leadership.

Most are killed in committee or banished to bureaucratic hell, never getting more than perfunctory discussion.

The referral spin was the biggest “Oh, come on, Maggie,” moment we had interviewing the county executive. Brooks faces Democrat Sandra Frankel, longtime

supervisor of the Town of Brighton, in her third, and last, run for the county’s top job.

The county executive is limited to three terms.

The Brooks-Frankel contest should’ve been a barn-burner: two high-profile and well-respected local pols, both arguably at or near the top of their games. But somehow, we feel cheated. Maybe it’s money: our rockstar county executive bleeds cash, and even a resurrected JFK might have trouble keeping

up. Maybe it’s apathy: Frankel’s campaign seems to have suffered from a peculiar ennui right from the start. Whatever the cause or combination of causes, you can’t help but feel the community deserved better.

Frankel, who probably would’ve cruised to re-election in Brighton had she not jumped into the county executive race, has focused on the ethical lapses in the Brooks administration. She’s paid special attention to questionable business expenses charged by the former airport director — the “cigars and strip clubs” scandal — and the allegations of favoritism in a local development corporation deal. She’s promised to open up county authorities and LDCs and to create stronger oversight. Election-year scandals are a rare gift from the political gods, but Frankel hasn’t been able to capitalize.

Nothing sticks to the likeable Brooks.

Brooks has painted Frankel as a taxand-spend Democrat, citing tax increases in Brighton during Frankel’s tenure, as well as Frankel’s own salary increases. She’s also repeatedly pounded her promise not to raise the tax rate: a message that does seem to resonate with voters, even though Brooks has found crafty ways to raise money. One example: MCC charge-backs, which are essentially user fees for people who attend the college. Such tactics allow Brooks to stick to the letter, if not the spirit of her promise.

In separate interviews, Brooks and Frankel spoke on a wide range of issues facing the county, including property taxes, spending priorities, MCC’s future, and the use of economic-development incentives.

The following are edited versions of those conversations.

Maggie Brooks CITY: What are you most proud of over your two terms as county executive?

Brooks: When I took this job in 2004, we immediately established three priorities: tax stability, job creation, and quality of life. And under that quality of life umbrella was establishing a new relationship with the City of Rochester because at the time, there really was not a strong relationship between the city and the county.

Fast-forward eight years later, I’m proud of our record of results in those areas. The tax rate has been stable since 2004: it’s actually lower than when I took office. Job creation: Government doesn’t create jobs, the private sector does, but through our assistance programs we’ve supported about 1,000 companies.

I don’t think it matters what I say about our quality of life. It’s really what others have said. Our quality of life has been nationally recognized on a number of different levels. People appreciate that Monroe County’s a good place to live, work, and raise a family.

How is your relationship with city government? It didn’t seem so great after the collapse of Renaissance Square.

NOVEMBER 2-8, 2011

That was kind of a media perception that it wasn’t so hot after Ren Square. I guess I didn’t characterize it as that.

When I took office, there was not a huge relationship between the city and the county. I really focused on changing that.

My very first project I proposed as county executive was a massive redevelopment project in downtown Rochester: Ren Square. So right out of the gate I said to the City of Rochester, “You’re my priority.”

Since that time I think I’ve enjoyed great relationships with Bob Duffy and the new mayor.

I think sometimes the media tries to portray conflict because it’s more exciting than when we all get along. But the reality is you don’t base a relationship on one project or one anything. It’s a historical track record.

We’ve done a lot with the city the last eight years. A lot of our incentives have been used in the city to help create jobs within the city boundaries. A lot of our public-safety initiatives have focused on the city. So we really are more partners today than we were eight years ago.

Is it really fair to say you’ve kept the property tax rate flat when you’ve increased other fees and instituted MCC charge-backs — essentially a user fee for people who go there?

I think it is a fair characterization. Either you lower the rate or you don’t, and the rate is lower than when we took office.

We hear it all the time: people want us to consolidate, they want us to collaborate.

charges like MCC, (named for where they appear on your tax bill), those are all our collaborations within the community. And putting them below the line has been a way to pay for them.

Some people would like to say that every time we consolidate a service, the county pays for it. The 911 system is kind of an example of that. We bear the cost, but it’s a collaboration that we should be proud of.

Without those below-the-line charges, every town would have to have a Board of Elections, every town would have to have its own 911 center. Those are things we’ve taken on as a responsibility for the community, but we don’t necessarily have the ability to pay for them. The county can’t pay for everything.

The MCC below the line is actually a user fee for communities that have students at MCC. They’re paying based on the number of students who attend.

But how can you compare MCC chargebacks with the 911 system or the Board of Elections? Chili residents aren’t charged based on how many times they call 911, and Penfield residents don’t pay more if they happen to have more people who vote.

I still think it’s fair and equitable. It still gives anyone in this community access to affordable education. It helps us sustain our commitment and our investment to MCC. So you can say, “It’s different than these other things.” I think all of those things represent our collective goal of funding things that enhance quality of life in a creative way.

Let me use the public safety training facility as an example. Some would say that they are disproportionately paying, from a town perspective, for services that are used mainly by the City of Rochester Police Department. If you look at what we do there, the bulk of that benefits the RPD. So you can make the same comparison.

I think instead of trying to divide and conquer and saying, “Perinton is paying this. And the City of Rochester is disproportionately paying for MCC…” These are things that our community has said are priorities that we need to pay for.

The county also eliminated funding for downtown police.

Actually, no. We shifted it.

The reality is that the police department had been provided security at Frontier Field, which is a county facility. Under the previous mayor, the city decided it was not going to do that anymore, so what 10 City NOVEMBER 2-8, 2011

we did is say, “OK, we need to take some of that money. If we’re going to have to pay for security at Frontier, we’re going to have to shift some of those dollars.” (RPD officers are still assigned to Frontier. They are paid by the Greater Rochester Sports Authority — the entity that oversees the operation of Frontier Field, according to city spokesperson Gary Walker.)

There was a lot that went into this calculation of $350,000 being shifted to other areas of public safety within the county budget. Some of that offset the city’s commitment to the crime lab — we received some of it, not all of it. Some of that was Frontier Field dollars. Some of that was money the city owed for some of the bookings that we do in the city lockup.

It’s a very complex issue.

We still have a huge investment in public safety downtown when you look at things like the crime lab. That investment has actually grown. To say that we eliminated money for downtown patrol is not a fair statement to the county.

Aren’t we past this archaic, destructive mantra that the county doesn’t support the city? I think practice has shown that’s not the case.

What are your guiding principles for economic development?

I go out and listen to businesses. I ask the question: “Why are you here?” And businesses will tell me three things every time: access to a highly skilled workforce — and I think that really speaks to the level of higher education that we have here. I think it speaks to the intellectual property, the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship that we have.

The second thing is quality of life.

That is short commute times, affordable housing stock, quality of our schools, arts and culture.

And thirdly are incentives. People can say that incentives shouldn’t be a priority when we’re helping business, but the reality is that companies have a choice. And sometimes they will choose to go elsewhere unless we can level the playing field. Unless we can say to a company, “We want your jobs. We want your presence in Monroe County, so we’re going to help you in any way that we can.”

Do you really believe that the state comptroller’s audit of Upstate Telecommunications Corporation was politically motivated? That seems a stretch: that the office would spend time, energy, and money just to damage your reputation. Does the report contain anything of value?

We’ve had dozens of audits. Audits in a

Friday

Happy Hour large company are part of annual practice.

That’s a good thing. It protects everybody.

But I think it’s highly unusual that eight years after UTC was implemented, the comptroller suddenly decides to do an audit: uncharacteristically releases a scathing press release with the audit, and a draft of the audit was leaked.

There were just some unique things that happened with his particular audit that made me question the timing and the motivation. This happened eight years ago. Not one legislator, Democratic or otherwise, has raised one issue with this program — even when I ran in 2007. If this was such a horrible thing, why wasn’t it raised then? Oh, because I didn’t have an opponent. So why waste it?

You hear the Democrats talk about, “$8 million taxpayer dollars wasted.” Those are not dollars wasted. Those are projected dollars. That money hasn’t been spent, and that’s where the disagreement is. The comptroller says, “We disagree with your projections.” So we’re trying to work with them to reconcile where the difference is.

Here’s what I say about UTC: it’s a public-private partnership that in the private sector would be applauded. In government, it’s investigated. It’s helped us purchase phone systems and state-of-theart computer systems. We would not be able to do this without this partnership.

Let’s just look at the big picture: airport, Water Authority, UTC — whatever else they’ve thrown in there.

To me, the whole concept of scandal is a manufactured concept by the Democrats.

These phrases: “big rigging, culture of corruption” — all manufactured by the Democratic Party and the Democratic leadership during a campaign season.

You’ve resisted calls by Democrats to establish an independent office of public integrity, similar to the city’s office.

The office of public integrity in the city truly is a spin-off for people who leave the Rochester Police Department. City administration signs their paychecks. How do you police an organization that you’re beholding to for your livelihood?

We have an independent office that is run by two individuals who have a tremendous record of law enforcement integrity in this community. Eugene Welch: look at his track record with the state police and law enforcement. Don Chesworth used to be a district attorney here. (Attorneys Welch and Chesworth comprise the Brooks-established Independent Accountability Counsel.)

They are truly an independent entity.

I don’t pay their salaries. We have a

contractual relationship with them, but they are not located in our office. So I think our model is better. To say that we don’t have an office of public integrity is a lie, because we do.

We have a whistleblower hotline. We have an ethics program for employees at all of our entities. So I’m very comfortable with the policing mechanism for county government.

The idea that if you have an office of public integrity that miraculously you’ll never have another issue is ridiculous.

Some people are critical of the county’s use of LDCs: the fact that the same people — loyal Republicans — keep appearing on their boards and that the LDCs have limited transparency and accountability.

You know, people forget — and probably it’s selective memory — I have led by example in this state in making our LDCs and our authorities ethical and compliant with state law. Even before there was a Public Authorities Reform Act (passed by the state in 2009), we implemented ethics requirements for all of our authorities and LDCs. All of their meetings are open to the public. All of their annual reports and all of their minutes and notes are public documents.

We’ve done our job. We’ve gone above and beyond. We put all these rules and restrictions in place so that they are open, transparent, and accessible. I don’t know what more you can do.

Every LDC is created with the authority and the approval of the Monroe County Legislature. So every LDC has gotten the sign-off of an elected representative. Every time there is a contractual alteration in an LDC, it comes back to the MCL. So again, these are public entities. They’re not working behind closed doors.

We get results using this model, whether it’s energy savings, technology savings, public safety communications savings. The taxpayers are the winners in this structure.

My opinion? Public-private partnerships will be the salvation of government, because continues on page 12

we can’t continue to do what we do at the government level with the level of funding and resources we have. You could only raise taxes so much.

What’s the latest on MCC’s new downtown campus?

The misconception is that there was a pot of money as part of Renaissance Square that’s just sitting there, waiting to be spent. There is no money for MCC. When MCC decides where it’s going to go, I have to take that proposal to the Legislature, and they have to approve the

borrowing of the money for that campus.

And the county borrowing triggers the state portion, because it’s 50-50.

The budget is $72 million. That doesn’t mean it needs to be $72 million. It would be nice if it was less. And to be honest, it can’t be much more, because I think the community’s tolerance for spending money on public projects is less than it was when MCC was part of Ren Square.

We’re gun shy in this community about public projects: look at what’s happened.

And people see Midtown now, kind of sitting there, kind of on hold. And that

makes everybody a little more nervous about leaping into something. But at the end of the day, it’s got to be about the future of students and the future of MCC. My job is to support MCC in that process.

I think MCC is very appropriately taking its time. We don’t want to rush forward on something and get it wrong.

I’d rather take a little extra time and have MCC get it right.

Sandra Frankel Why did you decide to run for county executive?

As I looked at the condition of Monroe County government and the impact that it had on our community, it was clear that many of the problems facing Monroe County were not dissimilar to what I had inherited when I first took office as Brighton town supervisor.

I love our community and want it to be the very best place to live, work, and raise a family and thought that I could make a difference for our county just as I had done in Brighton.

I thought it was worth the risk to move forward and run for Monroe County executive with the intent of opening county government, making it more transparent and accessible, and more inclusive. We need to end the scandals, the mismanagement, the lack of oversight, the illegal activity, the waste of precious taxpayer dollars. I have the experience, commitment, and passion to do that for our entire county.

You’ve focused a lot on the county’s use of local development corporations. Are they a bad thing?

Local development corporations serve an appropriate purpose, particularly for economic development. But when LDCs are used to simply shift traditional county operations and functions into a private entity where the public loses oversight ability and transparency, that becomes a problem and a real concern. It is really undermining access to information, proper review, and oversight and opens the door to abuse or worse.

Within county government and the entities it has created, a pattern has emerged with a litany of scandals. If it were a one-time incident, you could say an individual or two went down the wrong path.

There is a clear pattern with a number of the same people moving from one organization to another: this tight network of political pals and political insiders controlling and manipulating these entities.

You see that the county executive’s performance shows poor management, mismanagement, a lack of oversight, and a lack of accountability.

What would be your plan for the county?

One issue is restoring integrity. From my perspective that means an expectation of performance of the highest caliber. To that end I would hire the best and the brightest

people who have professional expertise and competence.

One of the most important things we must do is create jobs. And to do that we have to take affirmative and aggressive steps to grow the economy. That means incentives and support for startups, small and medium-sized businesses here in our community, as well as recruiting industries and business to our area that can build on our strengths.

We’ve got the work force, we’ve got the focus, and we’ve got the resources to support a significant expansion of our economy. But to do that we have to have everybody working together, having identified where we want to go and how we’re going to get there: so having the county executive work more closely with the business community, labor, our educational institutions. I would be a strong advocate and partner in the effort with the city and the entire community.

We’ve got to have a cohesive plan that identifies particular industries that our area wants to pursue and recruit and to grow here. And the investments through tax breaks need to focus on the types of industries and business that will create new, good jobs.

Do you think the county’s current economic development system is working?

It’s encouraging that our region is beginning to rebound with a growth in jobs. But if you look at the specific areas where those jobs are being created, by and large they’re in our surrounding counties. Regional development is critically important for all of us, but we also need jobs in Monroe County.

Some of that includes reform of COMIDA, so that the tax incentives that we make available really go to recruit businesses to this area that have a choice of locating anywhere in the state, in the country, perhaps in the world; that we reform the policies of COMIDA so that they are tied to real job creation, with enforcement; and that if there are crosstown moves it isn’t simply to move from one location to another, but rather because there’s going to be real job growth, and that job growth requires a different location.

And then work with the city and our suburban communities to have in place the infrastructure that will make new development available, to make areas shovel ready, and to encourage adaptive reuse of vacant buildings.

There’s also an issue of defining what types of businesses will not be eligible, and enforcement of policies that COMIDA has established.

We had a hotel in Brighton that applied for COMIDA tax abatements and exemptions. The intent was to create one new job. We didn’t know what kind of job that would be, but one new job. And the value of the tax breaks was approximately $250,000. We challenged that. At the end of the day, the hotel property owner withdrew the COMIDA application and decided to go forward and make whatever improvements were planned anyway.

COMIDA can play a valuable role in recruiting, retaining, and helping business to grow. But the practices that COMIDA has followed are a giveaway to anyone who walks in the door. That’s not sound policy.

You’ve said that when you became Brighton supervisor, you got the town out of a pretty

substantial structural deficit and that it required “significant belt-tightening and tough decisions.” What did you do and what was your process?

When I first took office, I brought in a really terrific finance director. And when I say that I would hire the best and the brightest, that’s without regard to political party affiliation.

The finance director I appointed was a Republican [Ken Rohr, who is now a Fairport village trustee]. I appointed people who were experts and who had a commitment to public service and to serving the people of the community, not serving political friends.

We started to take a hard look at the budget and quickly discovered that the 1992 fiscal year would have ended in a shortfall if we didn’t take immediate steps to reverse that. One of the things I had promised during the campaign, which I fulfilled, was rolling my salary back, eliminating the perks of the supervisor’s car and cell phone. But beyond that, I froze spending, eliminated redundant positions, and our unions agreed to freeze their salaries with the intent of being made whole when we resolved the financial problem. I got cooperation from everyone.

We also had to raise taxes because our predecessors had overestimated revenues, underestimated expenses, used one-time revenues for ongoing operating expenses, and had spent the fund balance down to almost nothing.

What did you learn that would be valuable to the county budget process?

Being open, transparent, and accessible is an essential part of developing a budget for public service. I established a budget review task force with volunteers from the community who have expertise — in finance, banking, organizational management, law, and other relevant areas — to provide feedback and guidance through the budget development process. I would establish a budget advisory council for the county that would be a permanent council and would provide perspectives on the budget development process and on the budget itself.

I also would submit the budget to the County Legislature no later than October so that the Legislature would have time to review and consider the budget before making any changes and taking action. And so that the public would have an opportunity to consider the priorities, and to express their views on what the budget proposes for the coming year.

And so that the voters would be informed going into the election in November.

Functions have been shifted to the county services-to-localities line, and that levy has gone up tremendously. And I will say that much of that is Monroe Community College, which is a gem that the community supports.

the county. By moving it to that line, they also changed the funding base and it is now based on a formula related to the number of students who enroll from your particular municipality. The way that translates is that the places that have a lower income base will likely have more students attending.

The places that can least afford it are paying the most.

From my point of view, Monroe Community College is an asset that benefits the entire county, not just the particular students who happen to attend.

County Executive Brooks often touts her pledge to keep the property tax rate flat. What would be your approach to property taxes?

We are seeking cancer survivors who are having difficulty falling or staying asleep for a study testing two methods for reducing sleep problems and fatigue.

The rate is flat but the levy has gone up seven times in seven years: above the rate of inflation.

My intent would be to keep taxes flat. I believe there is a substantial amount of waste in county government based on what we know today. And there is likely more to be found: for example, a county office building leased for several hundred thousand dollars a year when that building is nearly vacant.

That’s pure waste. And then you’ve got the use of taxpayer dollars to pay the cost to LDCs, where there’s waste.

There are things that we can do in the short term, but we also need to take a longer view and look at how we’re going to be more cost-effective. One of the things we did in Brighton, and this is a small example, but our predecessors were leasing most every vehicle.

We looked at that and decided that we would be better off purchasing the vehicles, keeping them well-maintained, and increasing the mileage limit before we would surplus the vehicles. We eliminated the interest costs that come with leasing and we kept the cars longer.

Which areas of the budget deserve more funding, and which could be cut?

I can give you an example of a couple of areas that I think are important to address. One is funding for lead inspection. There is talk that those funds might be reduced or cut.

We had seen a continuing decline in lead-poisoning cases among children. That trend was very positive. Most recently there was an uptick in lead poisoning. We’ve got to make sure that doesn’t happen; that we continue to invest in short-term, costeffective approaches like lead inspections.

It also creates jobs: not just for the lead inspectors, but for the building trades who are involved with the repairs that may be needed for the remediation of lead paint and painting to encapsulate it.

Another is investment in early childhood day care: early childhood education with sufficient slots for income-eligible children in day care programs. We know from

research that Head Start is effective in helping kids be more successful when they enter school and that bodes well for their progress going forward.

You also have the benefit of the parents being able to continue to work and to move themselves up and help them move to better-paying jobs and progressing in their occupations and careers. If the slots are cut, then parents may have to quit their jobs and that puts an additional economic burden on society.

Areas that are ripe for trimming have to do with the issuance of consultant fees for revolving door employment, for rental of properties that aren’t really needed by the county, for abuses as a result of lack of administrative oversight, and implementation of sound fiscal policies.

Where should the MCC downtown campus go?

And you’ve asked for a realistic timetable on the decision. What is realistic?

I would like to see a decision on a downtown campus within the next year at the latest. Monroe Community College needs an appropriate place downtown: we need to provide appropriate space for continuing education that is accessible and appropriate and affordable.

I favor the area around Sibley’s and Midtown, but obviously the details of the studies that have been done need to be reviewed. I think that for downtown development, having a vibrant area in the center of downtown in that Sibley’s-downtown area would be a tremendous boost.

immediately report to the team supervisor for a briefing, and a plan is developed for members to deploy to the scene.

“There’s a specific protocol we follow,” Pedraza-Burgos says. “We’ve spent many hours developing this.”

Though each situation is different, in most cases, the district’s communications department alerts parents to what’s happening. Ideally, parents and students shouldn’t learn about the tragedy through news reports, say district officials and the crisis intervention team.

Team members tell parents to watch for changes in their children’s behavior as a result of the crisis, such as not eating, difficulty sleeping, or being afraid to return to school.

“If we don’t deal with the socialemotional concerns, the problems will come out behaviorally with students,” says Bonnie Rubenstein, director of counseling for city schools.

Crisis team members usually set up a command center at the school where an event has occurred. They meet with principals and teachers to help identify who may need help, and then go to classrooms to provide counseling.

“We’re there to talk about what they’re feeling,” says Audrey Cummings, the district’s director of social work and psychology. “When a tragedy like a death of a student happens, it brings up all kinds of feelings. It may evoke memories of a grandmother who died or the death of a favorite aunt.”

The team also provides support to teachers, district staff, and family members of those involved in the crisis. Their work can last from a day to several weeks.

“Grief and loss is an ongoing issue for the district, partly because of its sheer size,” Pedraza-Burgos says.

“That, and the way we handle it, are probably what set us apart from most other districts.”

the toy people look EXACTLY like these sculptures.

TONY

I have a great admiration for Tom Otterness. It is not by accident that he was chosen to install his sculptures at our Memorial Art Gallery.

Rochester needs a miracle.

We would all agree with that.

Through him we will once again be on the world map in ways unimaginable to us right now. To me he is a healer and a teacher of what is possible in the face of modern-day stoning and adversity.

INGA SONGBIRD

People are always looking for apologies, forgetting, of course, the etymology of the word: a defense or justification. Otterness has defined his transgression as “indefensible” and so it is. Requests for reparations in the form of donations, for example, are akin to a never-ending blackmail. Since the controversy will never be allowed to recede, what I would like to see is an acceptance of this

For DA, Doorley is best qualified

Monroe County currently has one of the most respected and effective district attorneys in recent history, Mike Green. His reputation as an effective litigator and administrator has reached beyond New York to the White House where he has been tapped to be a federal judge, a position which carries a lifetime appointment.

Mike has tapped Sandra Doorley, his first assistant district attorney, to run for District Attorney. Her experience and professionalism should be enough to convince even the most die-hard Republican that she’s more than qualified to fill this position, Mike’s confidence in her abilities should seal the deal.

How then can the most recent poll numbers be explained? Is money once again determining the direction Monroe County will be taking when this election is over? Is the Republican

period by Otterness on his website as part of his whole self, and a discussion of how he now sees the balance between art and ethics. Perhaps even a dialog or roundtable with other artists. Which is our higher purpose: to punish Otterness or to learn from his experience?

SRW

I was at MAG looking at art and overheard a patient and knowledgeable security person talk with an apparently upset patron about the controversy.

All the while I am taken by the room full of art around me: a room full of real impaled insects. We live in a society of ongoing immense cruelty to animals, but some humans have singularized the issue down mostly to the treatment of pets, and within that, mostly dogs. How many animals are killed to feed a pet dog for a year? How many owners would consider the vegetarian route for their dogs? Would anyone so much as blink if MAG regularly served veal at their social funcparty’s $300,000 backing of a candidate with no experience going to mean the least qualified will win? I think we owe Mike Green more than that.

I am sure it came as no surprise to her committee that Sandra Doorley did not get the endorsement of the police union. After all, she sent four of its members to jail. But is the pursuit of corruption enough to deny her the nod? I would argue that cleaning out the ranks so that the remaining members are able to do their jobs without impunity might be a worthwhile service.

When November 8 rolls around, we will find out if justice is truly for sale, because if Sandra Doorley’s opponent is victorious the people of Monroe County will have sold out.

MICHAEL DONOGHUE

Brooks’ ‘Teflon’

What is it about “Teflon Maggie” Brooks getting

tions? Of if they had great art depicting livestock?

What if the presumed heinous artist had instead been a run-of-the-mill, irresponsible owner and facilitated the birth of many unwanted puppies? Or been a run-of-the-mill, drink-toomuch driver and had run over a few dogs? Or simply liked to blow off steam by going out hunting? The outrage over this isolated incident should generate some serious discussions.

TED

An art museum should not be placed in the position of defending an artist’s character.

They should be able to defend the character of the art. Let’s be honest: all verbal explanations of the intent of the two 13-foot sculptures aside, the figures are not worthy or to the quality one would expect from the MAG — period! It is unfortunate that the MAG and the committees decided to put the Gallery in this unfortunate position.

ONTARIO1

a pass on every scandal, investigation, and issue of wrong-doing? My observation is that it’s based on sexist thinking. In conversations with business people, men and women alike, too many think that the 56-year-old Brooks is “just a nice girl.” (Is this code for “simpleton?”)

They believe that she doesn’t know what the “bad people” she hired and pays so well are doing. Would they ever say this about a man? As the proud uncle of young women who deserve respect, I am disturbed and offended by this Maggie “fairytale.” I expect a leader to take full responsibility for herself and her administration at all times.

I’m voting for Sandy Frankel. She knows what goes on and has made Brighton an honest, fullyfunctioning place to live, work, go to school, and do business.

The little things Richardson’s Canal House 1474 Marsh Road, Pittsford 248-5000, richardsonscanalhouse.net Lunch: Tue-Fri 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m.; Dinner: Mon-Sat 5-10 p.m. [ REVIEW ] BY JAMES LEACH

Little things matter. The light in the dining room. The spacing of the tables. Whether the butter that comes with the bread is brick-hard or creamy smooth. Whether the consomme is crystal clear or cloudy. Whether silverware is replaced. And whether everything from the center of the plate out is perfect. These little things add up. One thing off and the meal is still good. Two, it’s probably still fine. But when everything comes together, when the service is flawless and the food tasty and well-presented, a meal goes from satisfying to memorable. I had such a meal recently at Richardson’s Canal House on a rainy October evening.

Under the ownership of Austrianborn restaurateur Johannes Mueller since November 2002, Richardson’s is the beneficiary of its owner’s 30-plus years of experience in the restaurant industry. Trained in Germany, Mueller spent the first part of his career traveling Europe and the world working in hotels, restaurants, and even cruise ships, honing his management skills.

He brought that experience with him to Rochester in 1986, and since then he has either worked at or owned some of the biggest names in this area’s restaurant firmament, including Rio Bamba and Rooney’s. Mueller

is a shrewd judge of talent, and some true culinary rising stars have worked in his kitchens, including Keith Myers (now owner of the Flour City Bread Company) and his current executive chef Matthew Hudson.

Together, Mueller and Hudson make magic — with a little help from Mueller’s mom.

In the late fall every year, Richardson’s offers a special Oktoberfest menu — something Mueller has done since he owned Rooney’s and sponsored biannual “Austrian weeks” featuring guest chefs and special menus highlighting Austria’s cuisine. Since Mueller’s move to Bushnell’s Basin, the guest chefs have dropped away, the special menu is offered only in October, and there’s been one more important change. Instead of recipes derived from several different chefs, Mueller’s mother often comes over from Austria to visit and give the kitchen staff what he describes as a “refresher” course in Austrian food around Mueller’s kitchen table.

On a particularly chilly evening with rain

lashing the windows and a fire shimmering in the grate, I started off a long and indulgent meal with a simple bowl of beef consomme with herbed crepes ($6). The broth was crystal clear but intensely beefy, delivering a potent and pleasing combination of salty and sweet.

The crepes, which had clearly been slid into the soup just as it left the kitchen, soaked up almost no broth, remaining delightfully firm, herbaceous, and toothsome. It’s worth pointing out that this is quite a trick: introducing a starch to a hot broth almost always clouds the soup unless it is done extremely carefully.

I followed that with a foray into the regular menu, ordering a plate of spaghetti squash carbonara ($8). I’m a fan of both spaghetti squash and bacon, so mixing the two together seemed like an inspired idea. The combination of creamy eggs, cheese, and thick chunks of smoky bacon paired remarkably well with the squash, which added just the right amount of moisture to the dish to keep it creamy and delectably rich (too often carbonara turns into scrambled eggs and spaghetti with bacon because lesser cooks fail to master the temperamental interaction of heat and eggs).

Our entrees took us from Italy back to

Austria: goulash ($22) and sauerbraten ($21).

Goulash has gotten a bad name over the years.

How many of us associate it with that foul staple of cafeteria lunches across the nation?

Austrian goulash is an entirely different dish: beef braised in a gravy of paprika, garlic, black pepper, and potatoes, often served over freshly made spaetzle. It is as rich and complex as its American cousin is insipid and onedimensional. Matt Hudson’s interpretation of Mother Mueller’s recipe is superlative comfort food. The humble chuck roast is braised until it melts, enriching the thick broth around it while also allowing the spices to penetrate the meat to the point that even the interior has that distinctive paprika hue and savor. Served with a small bowl of white cabbage salad — shredded cabbage and bits of crispy rendered speck in a tangy dressing — the combination of flavors and textures is a joy to play with and admits of almost infinite variations.

At first glance, the sauerbraten was simply overwhelming. The plate was covered with slices of slow-braised brisket dressed with a raisin sauce alongside a huge pile of pickled red cabbage (distant and superior cousin of sauerkraut) and three potato croquettes that were perfectly identical. The dish was an exegesis on the beneficial interaction of fruit, vinegar, meat, and long, slow roasting — the very definition of sweet and sour. By the end of the meal, when only the tiniest bit of beef and none of the cabbage or potatoes remained, I was forced to admit that the portion was just right, and unfortunately not enough for lunch the next day.

Center-of-the-plate items at Richardson’s are amazing, but so is the stuff on the periphery. The breads that come out before drinks or appetizers, produced by pastry chef Anne Marie Williamson, are almost a meal in themselves. A simple herb bread with a pretzel-like crust and a cake-like interior was my favorite, but others at the table fell in love with a crusty sourdough loaf studded with cheese and herbs. The sturdy and flavorful wild rice enriched with pecans supporting a whole duck-leg confit changed my view of wild rice forever. The smooth, creamy baba ganoush underneath a medium-rare lamb sirloin was so nicely spiced that bites of meat seemed naked without it. And even the vegetable sides, which amount to colorful tasteless garnishes at other restaurants, were delectable here. Everything was cooked justso to bring out the best in flavor and texture.

That is until ex-roadie/fan of the band Sacha Gervasi, now a filmmaker, looked up the group. The resulting “Anvil: The Story of Anvil” is an intimate, heartwarming, and heartbreaking look at a band that simply would not quit. Now with the movie buzz behind the band to some extent, it’s back to slugging it out on club stages. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Mary Gauthier Tuesday, November 8 Lovin’ Cup, 300 Park Point Drive 8 p.m. | $18-$22 | bopshop.com [ SINGER/SONGWRITER ] Mary Gauthier was 35 when

she penned her first tune. The long road to composition started more as a road to perdition when, at age 15, she stole her parents’ car and split her hometown of Baton Rouge for elsewhere. She ended up with a hard life littered with drug abuse, alcoholism, petty crime, and stints in halfway houses. Her music is a powerful and dark acoustic noir with an underlying brutality, and a staggering lyrical eloquence. It teeters precariously between sin and redemption and romantic notions about both. Her guitar is simple and plaintive and she stares down the mic with a sort of weary beat-poet recitation and haunting resolve. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

A way-cooler Popemobile [ review ] by frank de blase

Up until last week I had never experienced anything quite like The Flaming Lips.

That’s because up until last week I had never experienced The Flaming Lips. With what can only be described as celestial pageantry, the band blew my doors off when it played Main Street Armory on Tuesday, October 25. I’ll never hear the band again without re-imagining the visual overload it rained down on its equally eclectic crowd. Rockers, hippies, hipsters, ravers, plushies, and guys named Doug sang along and interpreted the music in a number of ways.

The show began with a naked woman — pixilated into a certain degree of modesty — dancing on the giant screen, eventually opening her legs to give birth to the band.

Head Lip Wayne Coyne rolled out atop the audience in his giant bubble, like he was in a way-cooler Popemobile. There was fog, giant balloons filled with confetti, confetti canons, lasers, and an overall sense that psychedelic interpretations of music don’t have to be dispensed at the expense of the music itself. And as I’ve been hearing a lot of complaints about sound lately, the Lips, though loud and swimming in a sea of sonic melodrama, kept a decent handle on it. This show was breathtaking. I got home with my head buzzing and confetti in my shorts.

I’m not really the Broadway type, but this past week’s “Million Dollar Quartet” show at The Auditorium Theatre was spectacular.

As a musician, I cringe when actors portray musicians (Scarlett Johansson: thanks for the downloads, but stay away from the Tom Waits). And as huge fan of Sun Records-era rockabilly, I hate when it gets gentrified and hung exclusively on Elvis Presley’s shoulders.

With this show equal time was given to all the acts involved in Sun’s post-black-artist legacy. (The big names, anyway — R.I.P. Billy Lee Riley.) And the actors were downright fantastic and alarmingly accurate in their portrayals for the most part. Jerry Lee Lewis came off a bit cartoonish, but Derek Keeling gave me chills as Johnny Cash, and Cody Slaughter — a mere 20 years old — is the closest thing I’ve ever heard to the King.

It’s still staggering how important this music was in its stark innocence and honesty.

Finished Saturday night at The Bug Jar, walking in as The Tombstone Hands searched for the end of “Bonanza.” Next up The Pheromones covered a bunch of Ramones hits dressed as the Queens fab four and renaming themselves the Phe Ramones. A night full of Sun Records and The Ramones — it was like crawling back into the womb. And there was more leftover pasta when I got home

The Pixies’s current tour takes the legendary indie-rock band to cities it has never played, including Rochester. PHOTO PROVIDED

Here comes your band The Pixies w/Surfer Blood Wednesday, November 2 Main Street Armory, 900 E. Main St. 7 p.m. | $42.50-$50 | ticketfly.com pixiesmusic.com [ INTERVIEW ] By Frank De Blase

Whether it’s grunge or alternative or indie rock, or anything found within that thoughtprovoking twilight, you can probably blame it on The Pixies. Countless bands within that broad spectrum and beyond — from Nirvana (Kurt Cobain once said that “Smells Like Teen Spirit” was just another Pixies rip-off) and The Jesus and Mary Chain to more contemporary acts like Franz Ferdinand and Death Cab For Cutie — have all paid homage to The Pixies.

Formed in Boston in 1986, The Pixies grabbed attention with its punk energy and unconventional juxtaposition of musical dynamics and tones. That tension-release structure so many songs invoke today? The Pixies. Soft whisper to an intense shriek?

Again, The Pixies. Hooks without giving into pop’s sugary compromise? Pixies, Pixies, Pixies.

The band released five albums before splitting up in 1993. Assorted side projects, like bassist Kim Deal’s The Breeders, front 22 City NOVEMBER 2-8, 2011

man Black Francis’s Frank Black and The Catholics, guitarist Joey Santiago’s The Martinis, and drummer David Loverling’s studio work, kept the artists busy while die-hard Pixies fans had to survive on compilations and b-side releases. The band reunited in 2003, and at this point has been together longer than it was the first time around.

Meanwhile The Pixies’s pivotal third album, 1989’s “Doolittle,” with the two hit singles “Here Comes Your Man” and “Monkey Gone To Heaven,” surpassed its own cult status by being certified gold in 1995. “Doolittle” turned 20 years old in 2009, and the band has been celebrating that anniversary for two years now, playing the album from front to back on its most recent tour. The “Lost Cities” tour has had the band playing cities it never played before, including the Flower City. Pixies fans of Rochester rejoice: here comes your band.

Guitarist Joey Santiago checked in to answer a few silly questions. Here’s an edited transcript of what was said.

“Doolittle” definitely flows when you listen to it on record. But how does it play out live?

CITY: What prompted the band to do “Doolittle” front to back on the current tour?

Joey Santiago: Well, other bands were doing

No fancy production, no fancy playing. You know, it’s cut and dry, that’s it. It’s the same thing with The Velvet Underground and all those great bands, like The Stooges.

this format, and it was the 20th anniversary.

Yeah, it flows. The sequence definitely flows well.

Were you willing to perhaps alter the individual arrangements to help it along if the album sequence didn’t translate live?

No, because those arrangements are what made us The Pixies. You know, side A would taper off, what are you going to do on side B? You’ve got to bang it again so it’s got a nice flow.

The tour features some elaborate audio and visuals.

Yeah, it’s awesome. It takes pressure off of us.

We don’t have to do anything really other than playing.

You guys were never really known for windmills and back flips…

I mean, we do some schtick on stage. And by schtick I mean mistakes.

Why do you think “Doolittle” is still relevant 20 years later?

Would you still consider The Pixies on the fringe?

Sure. We’re still kind of quirky.

And you’re playing for a scene you created.

I don’t know. Some people say that. I mean, we got influenced by other people like The Velvet Underground, The Stooges…even Gregorian chant.

Sure, but bands like Nirvana owe a lot to The Pixies.

Yeah, if you read any of their old press it always mentions us.

Has the sound changed at all from when the band got back together in the early 2000’s up to now?

It still sounds the same. I’ve got the same guitar.

What were some of the initial obstacles you encountered as you re-grouped?

Just sounding good. It was a matter of sounding like we did before. And we’d forget the parts sometimes. But it’s muscle memory at this point.

Anything new going get slipped in at this concert?

Nothing really. I might attempt a back flip…

ROCK | Chamberlin

After opening for Grace Potter and The Nocturnals in June of this year, Vermont’s Chamberlin brings its roots-rock back to Water Street Music Hall, this time as the headliner.

POP | Maureen McGovern w/RPO

As the Occupy movement stakes their tents across the country, what better music to spin than the songs of the 60’s and early 70’s? Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Jimmy Webb — and Maureen McGovern, songstress responsible for hits like the Oscar-winning “The Morning After.” McGovern will be singing them all when she appears with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra this weekend. McGovern’s career spans more than 40 years of song, theater, cinema, television, radio, and songwriting. McGovern’s latest CD, “The Long and Winding Road,” found its title and a track from the Lennon & McCartney song. Even if you know the music of this era by heart, it takes on a deeper, fuller sound with a live orchestra. Nostalgia, undoubtedly included, at no extra charge.

Maureen McGovern performs with the RPO Friday, November 4-Saturday, November 5, 8 p.m. at Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre, 60 Gibbs St. $15-$77. 454-2100, rpo.org.

Welcome to the magic kingdom [ INTRODUCTION ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK

Once upon a time (about two months ago) thousands of Rochesterians sat in front of magic boxes and selected their favorite people, places, and things in Greater Rochester. Our elves, imps, and fairies — especially the fairies — got to work counting the votes and now we can share their secrets: the Best of Rochester 2011.

City Newspaper’s Best of Rochester issue continues to grow in popularity every year, and it’s always exciting for us to see how much readers get into it. This year’s readers’ poll was a real nail-biter. A few of the categories came down to the wire (fewer than 10 votes separated first from second place in at least one race), and the campaigning was particularly passionate in several categories (you guys really take your cupcakeries seriously). Please note that the winners in the 100 categories in our readers’ poll are solely decided by the voters — City Newspaper had no say in the results. If you disagree with the top honors post your favorites on this article at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

City’s writers did have their say in our critics’ picks. This year our writers shared their favorite food, trends, arts collaborations, and insider tips, everything from zucchini fries to moderndance collectives. Then turn to page XX for funny outtakes from our readers’ poll primary ballot, with which some people have entirely too much fun. This year, one responder filled it out entirely in character as Hurricane Irene. And to think, we worried that a fairy-tale-themed issue might be too out there…

26 City BEST OF ROCHESTER 2011

BEST FAST-FOOD TREND: gourmet food trucks Food trucks have been trending nationally for a while now — Food Network has aired two seasons of “The Great Food Truck Race,” a reality show devoted to them. Now it seems like Rochester is starting to get hip to the benefits of mobile kitchens. The Taco Kitchen had a too-brief run last year, and the The Gourmet Waffler has gone into hibernation for the season Comfort food on the go from Le Petit Poutine. (owners promise it will be back PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK next spring with an expanded savory menu). But two new additions to the scene seem to be gaining traction.

Le Petit Poutine, which serves the Canadian comfort food in its title (French fries and cheese curds doused in gravy), made many fans at City Newspaper’s South Wedge-ucation event in September, running out of supplies not once but twice, with massive lines waiting patiently for the warm, salty goodness served in those adorable brown take-out boxes. Meanwhile, Snow Daze got its start this summer, serving organic icy creations at festivals and markets out of a renovated 1964 Shasta camper trailer. (It too will return in the spring, but in the meantime its proprietors have started the cold-weather business Holesome Donuts, serving gourmet hot chocolates and multi-grain donuts with spiced sugars.)

You can follow both Le Petit Poutine and Snow Daze/Holesome Donuts on Facebook, and they’re usually set up Saturdays at the Rochester Public Market. If there are any other local food trucks out there, drop us a line. We are both hungry and lazy at the City offices, and cannot resist food on wheels. — BY ERIC REZSNYAK

BEST AGONIZING DELICIOUSNESS: wasabi shumai The yummy wasabi shumai at Plum House (686 Monroe Ave., 442-0778, plumhouserochester.com) are served in an adorable bamboo steamer. Take the lid off, and the first thing you notice is the lovely hue of the dumpling dough, rendered pale green by the wasabi. (Or, more accurately, the food coloring added to the wasabi mixture in the West.) You can also make out little bits of the filling peeking up at you; it’s pork, with some minced water chestnut. And you can see the steam rising up, so you use your chopsticks to poke a couple of air holes in them, hoping to minimize the possibility of third-degree burns on the roof of your mouth.

But you can’t wait. And it doesn’t matter anyway, because as you begin chewing, any discomfort you may feel from the temperature of the shumai is forgotten once the torrid heat of the wasabi barrels its way into your sinuses and out your nostrils in flames, much like a dragon. At that point you may be frantically gulping for air as you wave your hand in front of your open mouth, the universal sign for “For f**k’s sake, what have I done?” Oh, and don’t even bother chasing the shumai with a cold drink; there’s nothing you can do about that kind of suffering. Except have another. — BY DAYNA PAPALEO

BEST UPSCALE CAMPING FOOD: Beach Fire S’mores Usually when I go out for a nice dinner, the last thing I want is anything of the make-your-own variety. I want to be wowed by the decisions of the chef, not given ingredients and told to do the work myself (I do that in my kitchen every other night of the week, thank you). That said, there’s something charmingly nostalgic about the Beach Fire S’Mores ($5.95) served for dessert at The Crab Shack (749 E. Henrietta Road). (Note: we’re talking about the local, Danieleowned establishment, not the similarly named chain.) After the work involved in cracking into the restaurant’s namesake crustaceans for dinner, you may be hesitant to order yet another dish that requires your dedicated involvement. But you’d be missing out — not only on something that tastes so ooey-gooey good, but also on the opportunity to giddily act like a kid again as you carefully roast marshmallows over an open flame in an upscale public setting. The Crab Shack classes the classic treat up by providing graham crackers pre-dipped in lusciously sweet continues on page 28 rochestercitynewspaper.com City 27

milk chocolate, skewered marshmallows, and a decorative sterno flame somewhat akin to a witch’s cauldron. While it’s possible that this dessert may be aimed at families dining in the restaurant, I can attest to the fact that it’s just as fun and scrumptious for the adults. — BY SUSIE HUME

BEST UNHEALTHY HEALTH FOOD: zucchini fries If you’re like me, you secretly believe that everything is better fried (though you’d never admit it aloud for fear of sounding either piggish or unappreciative of the finer culinary arts). Calamari? Gross. Fried calamari? Delicious, buttery, crispy, chewy ringlets. Cheese? Yum. Mozzarella sticks? Hell, yes. Twinkies? Snack food eaten by kiddies.

Fried Twinkies? Yummy treat shoved guiltily into my mouth at every fair and festival whilst proclaiming, “Well, I guess I have to try them once.” Then there is the pinnacle of all fried food — the fried vegetable — or what I like to call unhealthy health food, because you can The zucchini fries at Wegmans’ Food Bar deceive yourself that you’re eating right as you check one in Pittsford. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK (or more) servings of vegetables off your recommended daily intake. And, for me, the king of all unhealthy health food is the zucchini fries ($4) served at the Wegmans-owned Food Bar (3195 Monroe Ave, next to the Pittsford Wegmans).

Fans of Tastings, another Wegmans eatery that formerly existed where Food Bar now resides, may remember the zucchini fries as one of the restaurant’s signature appetizers. To create the deliciously misleading treat, zucchini is julienned and then coated in a cornmeal blend before it hits the fryer. The result is ultra-crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, where the zucchini whites and seeds have melted into a heavenly, appealingly mushy mixture. To top it off, Food Bar serves the dish with a garlic-parmesan aioli for dipping which, while delicious in its own right, is really there to keep you from thoroughly burning your mouth as you stuff the right-from-thefryer strips ferociously down your gullet. — BY SUSIE HUME

BEST LATE-NIGHT DELIVERY: Big Deal Pizzeria & Grill In the wee hours one particular evening there was a knock at my door, followed by muffled voices, then quiet. Curious, I padded downstairs, only to find my boyfriend cozied up to what was clearly a bacon cheeseburger. The sultry scent tendrils wafting from that bodacious sandwich beckoned to me from across the room, and since I was up anyway, we made it a threesome. “Where dis fum?”

I mumbled between big, juicy bites, wondering who could possibly be roaming the streets to distribute piping-hot grub at 1:30 a.m. Turns out it came from Big Deal (475 Monroe Ave., 5442144, bigdealpizza.com), and it delivers — I am not making this up — until 4 a.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. (Though, technically, I guess it would be Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.)

Yeah, Big Deal is located in one of the city’s nightlife districts, making it convenient for scavenging barhoppers to stumble in and grab a slice (or wings, or a plate, or a sub) to soak up a night’s worth of booze. But after midnight you also got your B-shift workers, night owls, and service-industry people who just want to kick back at the end of the day and have some decent comfort food dispatched to their homes. And the next morning, if the early bird is lucky, she gets some pretty fresh leftovers. — BY DAYNA PAPALEO

BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK: Dollar Oyster Tuesdays It’s rare to encounter a person who is ambivalent about eating raw oysters; either you’re completely repulsed by such slimy, rubbery evil, or you’re just short of obsessed with the humble mollusk’s briny charm, its admittedly off-putting texture a small price to pay for enjoying something so pure and unadulterated that it was actually alive mere seconds before it slipped down your throat. If, like me, you fall into the latter camp, then you’ll want to take advantage of the plump assortment offered as part of Dollar Oyster Tuesdays at Lento (274 N Goodman St, 271-3470, lentorestaurant.com), especially now that the traditional oyster harvest season is in full swing.

Of course, those who prefer to adulterate their oyster have options, like the classic shallot mignonette or a splash of Tabasco. And at a buck a bivalve, you can slurp to your heart’s content, maybe even having enough cash left over to pair your bounty with a dry Riesling or some chilled vodka, or perhaps some of Lento’s luscious duck-fat frites. (No, duck-fat frites are not a customary companion to raw oysters, but you’re there anyway; why not indulge?) Besides an emphasis on local and seasonal products, Lento has also made it its mission to offer only sustainably caught seafood, so even though you may be staring at a gluttonous pile of half-shells at the end of your meal, you were being responsible in at least one aspect. — BY DAYNA PAPALEO 28 City BEST OF ROCHESTER 2011

BEST GOOD-DEED READS: Brighton Library book store Big libraries often have stores that sell de-accessioned books. Town and branch libraries usually have a couple of book sales each year, but not stores that sell books day in and day out. The Dorothy and Jack Pitlick Store of the Friends of the Brighton Memorial Library is an exception. It’s an old-fashioned neighborhood bookstore in miniature, except its books are used and its income goes to support the library, located on Elmwood Avenue a half mile west of Twelve Corners. The store is open 27 hours a week, spread over all seven days.

Though it isn’t a lot bigger than a walk-in closet, its brightly lit walls of shelves filled with a thousand books at a time belie its outof-the-way location at the rear of the library’s reading room. Books are constantly coming in and going out, managed by a staff of more than two dozen volunteers, including the eponymous Dorothy Pitlick, herself a passionate reader, who oversees the enterprise. She takes great pleasure from the people who drop off an armful of books, leave with another armful to read, and remark, “I shouldn’t have, but I had to have them.” Hard to resist when the hard covers go for a buck and the paperbacks for 50 cents.

About two-thirds of the books are fiction, but there are also collections of general non-fiction, history, biography, and cookbooks. Recently, in five minutes of browsing, I found novels

by Paul Theroux and Philip Roth, along with the unlikely “Elvis in the Morning” by the even more unlikely William F. Buckley; a history of Abraham and Mary Lincoln’s marriage; and Kenneth Clark’s “Civilisation” for those who never got around to it.

Down on a bottom shelf, I also found “Adam Bede,” “Heart of Darkness,” a biography of poet May Sarton, and the poems of Robert Burns. That’s an armful of hardbacks for nine bucks. — BY MICHAEL LASSER

BEST GAMER PARADISE: Game Craze

Sure, you may be able to buy games anywhere, but do you know where to buy things that show off how much you love games? I’m talking about the things that separate the elite from the n00bs, the Pokemasters from the trainers, the snipers from the snipees, those who live and breathe games instead of those that just play them.

The list of fandom service offered by regional retail chain Game Craze could go on and on. I’ve found car accessories, board games, belts, patches, puzzles, Christmas ornaments, and even items I couldn’t find on eBay. If you like games, chances are you’ll find something Find old-school video games and systems you’ll love here. at local chain Game Craze. file photo Although it sells new games and video-game systems, Game Craze’s main claim to fame is its impressive used game and system collection. Looking far and wide for Superman 64? Wake up one morning and decide you want an original NES, with games to boot? I’ve seen accessories at Game Craze that I’ve never seen anywhere outside of retro gaming exhibits.

Game Craze now has seven locations in the greater Rochester area, so that no matter where in the city you live you can get your game on. Item and game availability varies by store, and merchandise can move quickly, which is why I stop in as often as I can to check things out.

BEST INDOOR EXTREME-SPORTS DESTINATION: University Avenue As a Rochester native, I have grown accustomed to putting warm-weather pastimes aside and taking up the ever-popular winter hobby of hibernation. Who needs real action when you can kick back on the couch and play PS3? If, like me, you have grown bored of scaling walls as Nathan Drake, or landing huge gaps as Tony Hawk, consider bringing that action to life and get some much-needed winter exercise in the process. With four unique indoor sports complexes all within walking distance of one another, University Avenue may be the best place to head for some extreme indoor fun.

At 1044 University Ave. you can find the Rochester Action Sports Park (r-a-s-p.com), the largest indoor skate park in the Rochester area, allowing BMX and mountain bikes, skateboards, continues on page 8

inline skates, and scooters. If you want to look down on the crowd below, but don’t want to do so while flying through the air on a skateboard, located right in the same building is Rock Ventures (rockventures.net). This huge indoor climbing wall and ropes course will surely keep you entertained for hours — unless you’re afraid of heights.

If you want something a little more traditional, located next door at 1046 University Ave. is Hot Shots (hotshotsvball.com), an indoor volleyball complex with both sand and hard courts.

Even though it might be freezing outside, you can still hit the sand courts for some indoor beach volleyball, and if you really want to pretend you are on the beach, pick up a margarita or a bite to eat at the complex’s bar and grill. Finally, if you’re sick of getting your butt whipped at Call of Duty and want some real-life first-person-shooter action, hit up N’vasion Paintball (nvp-paintball. com) also at 1046 University Ave. — BY ERIC LACLAIR

BEST TOY STORES FOR GROWN-UPS: Plastic and Pandaman Toys for adults! No, not that kind. I’m talking about those pophappy, geek-core, don’t-let-the-toddler-chew-it collectible designer vinyl figurines. The trend is bigger in larger cities, such as San Francisco, New York, or Miami, where bigwig vinyl company Kidrobot has stores. But it is catching on in Rochester, as two fans have opened sweet little shops that offer the figurines.

Plastic (650 South Ave., plasticforever.com) has been open for more than a year and recently moved from its Elton Street location to the South Wedge. Owner Deana Costanza carries collectible vinyl toys, DIY vinyl blanks that you can paint yourself, apparel, works by local artists (including a very cool figure painted to resemble Some of the colorful items Doctor Who), and more. Many people get into the toys because it’s sold at Plastic. an affordable way to collect the work of artists they adore who are PHOTO provided in the pop-surrealist, low-brow movement, the likes of which can be found in Juxtapoze and Hi-Fructose art magazines. Plastic has regular DIY painting nights.

The newer shop in town is Pandaman Toys (439 Monroe Ave., 420-8965, pandamantoys. com), which opened in October near Pixel Preserve and The Park Bench. Owner Beth Small has created a retail café that also offers limited-edition Nikes, apparel, 90’s nostalgia items, DIY nights, video-game tournaments, DJs, and local and out-of town artists including Nathan Hamill (yes, Mark’s son), who is the designer of the Bellicose Bunny line of toys.

The price point for most figurines is $40 or less, with the exception of in-demand limitededition pieces. I couldn’t resist taking home a Tokidoki “Unicorno” figurine, which now perches on my keyboard in all of its cheerful, rainbow-colored glory. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

The BEST way to rent your apartment!

BEST PLACE TO EAVESDROP IN CITY HALL: stairwells Every journalist has shortcuts: ways we’ve learned to subvert systems designed to keep us at arm’s length. This network of back doors is kind of like the Marauder’s Map in the Harry Potter books and movies. Example: rather than wade through a swamp three corporate-communications people deep to get to a certain official, I used to wait along his bike route, which I knew he kept regular as rain. And I can’t tell you — literally — the things I’ve overheard in stairwells. The often bunker-like environment seems to compel people to spill their secrets, as if they expect the blitzkrieg to commence at any moment. And the sound carries.

Quite by accident one day I discovered that if you stand in the stairwell landings on the second and third floors at City Hall, you can hear almost everything going on in the conference rooms just beyond the wall. It makes me laugh a little when City Council members kick me out of a meeting — executive sessions aren’t open to the public or the media — when, if I wanted to, I could take five steps and hear the whole thing. Not that I ever do. It would, of course, be an egregious ethical violation. (I can’t make you believe me, but it is the truth.)

Another strategy, if you’ve got the time: hang around and chat up the security guards. They seem bored. And they know everything.

BEST SOLVED MYSTERY: the case of the missing mayor People lose car keys, glasses, pens, homework, and cell phones all of the time. But the residents of East Rochester managed to lose track of their mayor. In mid-September, 13 WHAM ran a report, “The Case of the Missing Mayor,” detailing the scenario. Mayor Jason Koon, who took office in 2007, had missed five out of 12 meetings between September 2010 and September 2011, it said. He also hadn’t been seen much around Village Hall. And Republican members of the town-village board made a point of saying that they were concerned about the absences.

But Koon, who has two young children, says he missed the meetings because of “family stuff,” or because he was out of town. He is still living in the village and he does go into his office, he says. The mayor’s job is part-time and he often is in the office after staff has gone home.

Koon, a Democrat, says that village Republicans made a fuss about his absence as a political move. He isn’t running for reelection and says he isn’t sure why the minor controversy would help Republicans. He decided not to run for reelection so he could spend more time with his family and children. “I feel like I’ve missed a lot of their lives these past four years,” Koon says.

36 City BEST OF ROCHESTER 2011

BEST CLASSICAL VIBE: Eastman BroadBand It is rare that I get lost when listening to classical music because I’m most often doing so for City Newspaper — writing a review, preview, or feature with my left brain analyzing and my right hand writing.

But on October 5, 2011, for two hours, I was completely swept up in the musical performance of Eastman BroadBand during its open rehearsal. The performers were eight students at Eastman School of Music, namely Cherry Tsang and Jacob Ertl, piano; Deidre Huckabay, flute; Andrew Brown, clarinets; Hanna Hurwitz, violin; Mariel Roberts, cello; Damon Martinez and Stuart Gerber, percussion. BroadBand has 31 members, and also includes guest soloists and alumni with professional music careers.

This open rehearsal was no small amount of pressure for the students, and they carried it off with apparent ease. Four of the composers of works on the program were present. Ricardo ZohnMuldoon, a 2011 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Music. Carlos Sanchez-Gutierrez, a Guggenheim and Fulbright Fellow. David Liptak, with three decades of teaching and works on CDs like “American Masters.” And Juan Trigos, whose work is self-described as “obsessive use of polyrhythmic and polyphonic interlocking musical events.”

Trigos’ description is your clue that BroadBand performs contemporary works. By definition, “new” or “contemporary” music gets less attention and less attendance than it deserves from fans of classical music, even though ESM is consistently graduating new musicians who have gone on to found award-winning new music groups like Alarm Will Sound, So Percussion, and Break of Reality.

There’s no question that what I was hearing with BroadBand was the next group of great, new musicians that will be leaving Eastman with the raw talent, discipline, and passion for new music that will continue to make new music the future of classical music.

BEST MUSICAL TURN-AROUND: Main Street Armory It can be hard to establish yourself as a musician in any city’s music scene. You have to navigate promoters, fans, and venues — and that’s all before you even produce a single note. Take that same mentality and extrapolate it and you have an idea of the pressures of launching an entire venue. You need space, a stage, sound, lighting, and you have to hope you can get people to play, and even more people to come out. And in a city with an already established music scene, that can be a tall order.

Just a few years ago it would have been easy to Modest Mouse is one of the major acts that doubt the Main Street Armory on East Main Street. has played the resurgent Main Street Armory It was a pigeon-shit-filled property that seemingly in recent years. PHOTO provided nobody wanted. Now it is bringing in a wide stream of acts that have outgrown the club scene, and those that in other markets could fill stadiums.

And along the way it is strengthening the Rochester music scene.

The Armory’s schedule has steadily grown since its first concert in 2006, but this year it seemed to explode. It went from a contending venue for some of the best live music in Rochester to one of the largest players in Rochester’s live-music scene. Acts that have played its stage include Modest Mouse, O.A.R., Flogging Molly, and Korn, and this year alone we’ve seen (or will see) Primus, The Pixies, the Dropkick Murphys, Judas Priest, and the Flaming Lips.

Sure, it may not have the best acoustics — it is a giant castle, after all, but the sound seems to be improving all the time. And it certainly started as an outlier. But if this year has proven anything, it’s that the Armory is here to stay, and music in Rochester is the better for it. — BY WILLIE CLARK

BEST PROMISING ARTISTIC PARTNERSHIP: RoCo and RCDC An October 8 collaboration spearheaded by Rochester Contemporary Dance Collective and hosted by Rochester Contemporary Art Center was an unexpected performance gem, and a call continues on page 14 rochestercitynewspaper.com City 37

to stage more such interrelated arts events in the future. That evening there was a level of audience involvement, and an air of excitement and spontaneous creation in the downtown gallery that is not often felt in Rochester.

Dancers from various local groups drifted amongst spectators, regrouping in front of different installations in the gallery’s current “Scapes” exhibit to react to the art through movement — some improvised, some carefully thought through. “Scapes” addresses connections between natural landscapes and human form through use of digital media and exhibits the art work of Jamie Hahn, Sterz, Christina Laurel, Jason Bernagozzi, and Debora Bernagozzi.

Heather Roffe, one of the founders and directors of Futurpointe Dance Theater as well as a member of RCDC’s Board of Directors, performed with her company at the event. “I hope to organize further collaborations with visual art and to incorporate even more sound art or music in the future,” she says. “Dance is simultaneously visual, aural, emotional, mental, and kinesthetic, so it lends itself well to dialogues and pairings with other art forms.”

Other dancers and companies participating in the on-site event were Richard Haisma/ Geomantics, Nanako Horikawa, Whitney Denesha, Missy Pfohl Smith/Biodance, Sarah Cooldige, Mariah Maloney, Treeline Dance/Jenny Showalter, Rose Beauchamp, Mone Dance Company/Nikita Mone, and Charmese O’Callaghan.

“With this event we worked toward a set-up where dancers responded to the visual arts with a unique program that we hope to pursue again soon,” says Bleu Cease, executive director and curator of Rochester Contemporary. — BY CASEY CARLSEN

PROJECT

Rachel

This is a story about an abandoned house. However, unlike most stories about abandoned houses, it’s not about what is inside the house, but what is on the outside. The house is small, the wood is rotting, and it’s certainly not fit for living. It is sort of out of place, being in the well-populated and business-filled area on John Street across from the RIT campus.

The wall of interest faces the road between the house and the campus. Sometimes there isn’t much to look at, just a giant blotch of white paint. But other times, the wall displays its signature graffiti. Or maybe it isn’t graffiti. Some might call it art. Either way, it comes and goes, being painted over several times a year. Usually, painted in a harsh black spray paint, it reads, “Make Moves Son.” At least once it read “Make Movies Son,” which makes a bit more sense considering RIT’s large film program.

Who paints the saying isn’t common knowledge, but it has supposedly passed hands several times over the years. Rumor has it that the project is at least five years old, but nobody seems to know its true age. An Internet search results in only a few photos and an inconclusive thread on Reddit. Some RIT college clubs have printed t-shits with the famous design, but even they seem unaware of its history.

I like to think that this artwork acts as a constant reminder and inspiration to students, and other passersby. In school, work, or any other aspect of life, you’ve got to make moves.

Pop/R&B | Smokey Robinson

Was there ever a better pop songwriter than the man who wrote “The Tracks of My Tears,” “My Girl,” and “I Second That Emotion”? Was there a better soul singer than the man who sang “Ooo Baby Baby,” “The Agony And The Ecstasy” and “Cruisin’”? Not in my book. Best of all, a half-century after he burst on to the scene with The Miracles, Smokey Robinson’s still got it. His performance at the 2009 Rochester International Jazz Festival was two hours of non-stop pleasure. He’ll take the stage at Kodak Hall Sunday for a good cause; all proceeds benefit Lifetime Assistance Inc. Smokey Robinson performs Sunday, November 6, 7 p.m. at Kodak Hall, Eastman Theatre, 60 Gibbs St. $55-$125.

I’ve spent a good portion of the past few years lamenting the end of Page France, despite the fact that by the time I’d discovered its music the band was already defunct. New Paltz’s Breakfast in Fur goes a long way in filling that personal void on its first, self-titled EP, released on 10” vinyl earlier this year. The band creates easygoing, textured songs thick with off-kilter percussion supporting Dan Wolfe’s breathless vocals. It’s most readily described as psych-folk, but like all genres, it’s impossible to pin the band into a single category.

The wicked wizards of Wall Street [ REVIEW ] BY George Grella

“Margin Call” (R), directed by J. C. Chandor Now playing

The new movie “Margin Call” achieves a surprising success in handling the formidable challenges inherent in making a film about a subject both abstract and complex. The picture deals with some of the people, events, and decisions that created the economic disasters of 2008 and the subsequent Great Bush Recession, focusing on the machinations of one giant financial house over something like 24 hours.

Greece Ridge 12 225-5810 176 Greece Ridge Center Dr. FOOTLOOSE: 1:20, 4, 7:05, 9:55; THE IDES OF MARCH: 1:50, 4:35, 7, 9:25; IN TIME: 1:45, 4:55, 7:30, 10:10; PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3: 2:25, 5:10, 7:55, 10:15; PUSS IN continues on page 54

The picture begins with a series of drastic firings involving 80 percent of the work force of a large financial company, apparently the result of previous losses. After 19 years with the firm, Eric Dale (Stanley Tucci), the head of the risk department, receives his pink slip in the usual brusque, businesslike, heartless manner from a particularly nasty hatchet woman. Just before he leaves, he gives a disk to Peter Sullivan (Zachary Quinto), one of his subordinates, warning him to be careful. Working late, on his computer Sullivan scopes out the numbers and formulas on the disk — the picture never shows exactly what they constitute or what they mean — and justifiably panics, calling a coworker, Seth Bregman (Penn Badgley), and a high-level executive, Will Emerson (Paul Bettany), to return to the office and examine his data.

The data reveals that the firm has wildly overinvested its assets in all sorts of stocks, bonds, mortgages, etc.

— again the precise nature of these bad investments never emerges — and now faces imminent

disaster. Sullivan estimates that the losses will total more than the value of the firm itself. His information immediately galvanizes several layers of executives and managers, who in turn summon the whole board of directors to figure out a way to deal with the crisis.

The desperate, late-night conference of all big shots reveals something of the methods and beliefs of the Wall Street insiders. The biggest of the big bosses, John Tuld (Jeremy Irons), asks for explanations in the simplest possible manner and words of one syllable, presumably because he needs to know nothing in order to command a huge financial house and perhaps to help a hopelessly confused audience to comprehend the meaning of the problem. After a lot of tense discussion and determined resistance from one of the few relatively honest men, Sam Rogers (Kevin Spacey), Tuld and his underlings settle for the most obvious solution, to sell all their bad investments for the highest price they can command.

That decision, Sam Rogers points out, involves a fatal breach of ethics that will make the company and its people pariahs on Wall Street. The action the directors approve involves instructing all their traders and brokers to lie about their motives and falsify the value of the company’s holdings to convince their contacts all over the world to buy, buy, buy. It also means that the bosses must find a few sacrificial lambs to blame for the crisis, so they calmly fire Bregman and

another, much more highly placed executive, Sarah Robertson (Demi Moore), who happily terminated Eric Dale’s career at the beginning of the movie — karma at work, perhaps.

Despite the essential vagueness of the central material and the complicated jargon of financial wheeler-dealers, “Margin Call” maintains its atmosphere of tension and uneasiness throughout.

Constricted by its 24-hour time frame and its single main setting of a lower Manhattan skyscraper, the movie too often resembles a stage play; its frequent shots of two actors conversing, and the script’s tendency to address the audience through some lectures characters deliver to each other occasionally slow down the action.

“Margin Call,” however, depends heavily on its fine cast to convey the meaning and urgency of its themes. The consistent coldness of the characters’ reactions to the subject and each other very nicely suggests the heartless approach of big money people to the human consequences of their actions. A couple of the more appealing people in the film — Eric Dale and Sam Rogers — articulate the subtext beneath all the financial manipulation and arcane jargon, the essentially Marxist contention that they accomplish no real work, construct nothing solid or permanent, but make their enormous salaries by buying and selling the empty symbols of wealth, the paper that occupies the attentions of the gamblers, crooks, and whores who largely populate Las Vegas and Wall Street.

In 2008 Rochester audiences seemed to fall under the spell of one particular movie star, a dusky, nine-foot-long beauty called L1037. The acclaimed documentary that chronicled the life of this Steinway concert grand from forest to stage played to billions of people (give or take billions) in its handful of presentations at the Dryden that year, and “Note By Note: The Making of Steinway L1037” returns this Saturday for a long-awaited encore, this time with director Ben Niles in tow for a Q&A following the screening. Now, you probably wouldn’t diagnose this musiccrazy town as having been in the throes of pianomania back then, but I might, and with apologies for such blatant corniness.

It’s only because I could really use a segue.

A fitting companion piece to “Note

By Note,” the absorbing “Pianomania” is

Stefan Knüpfer in “Pianomania.”

COURTESY FIRST RUN FEATURES

another one of those documentaries that focuses on an important job that gets done even though very few stop to think about the skilled individual who devotes his time and energy to doing it. So meet Stefan Knüpfer, a boyish, bespectacled piano technician with Steinway & Sons. Knüpfer is Steinway’s man in Vienna, in charge of fine-tuning the pianos played by the world-class musicians who visit Mozart’s later-life stomping grounds. And I do mean “fine-tuning”; we watch as Knüpfer meticulously caters to the precision musical demands of classical-music luminaries like Lang Lang, Alfred Brendel, and Pierre-Laurent Aimard, with much of “Pianomania” devoted to Knüpfer’s quest to get the sound exactly right for Aimard as he prepares to record Bach’s “The Art of Fugue” in Vienna’s Konzerthaus.

As Steinway’s clients put Knüpfer through his paces, often with a tonal specification no more explicit than “magic,” it’s hard not to be a little awed by Knüpfer’s professional patience while he makes the tiniest of adjustments, barely detectable to our lay-ears, upon instruments that are nonetheless at the mercy of conditions like humidity and temperature. And each piano has its own unique tone, which Knüpfer must keep mentally catalogued to meet the requirements of the various musicians.

Directors Robert Cibis and Lilian Franck don’t give us too many personal details on their subject — we know he has a cute dog as well as a wife who bakes a decent cheesecake — but we do get glimpses into his amiable personality and seeming makeit-happen unflappability, even in the face of requests that are nearly impossible to inarticulate and possibly impossible period.

Unsurprisingly a gifted pianist in his own right, albeit one with no wish for the limelight (“I can get off stage when the public comes in,” Knüpfer says), the Master Tuner derives obvious pleasure from the classic job well done, and witnessing his wide-eyed delight as he

brainstorms outrageous possibilities for piano and violin with the musical comedy duo of Aleksey Igudesman and Richard Hyung-ki Joo is a treat for us as well.

“Pianists are mostly dissatisfied,” Knüpfer confides to us of his challenging clients, but their eventual satisfaction takes the form of admiration and a little bit of wonder at the calm, attentive man who consistently manages to construct that crucial bridge between science and art.

“You got a good life, Curtis,” Dewart

(Shea Whigham, “Boardwalk Empire”) tells his friend at the beginning of the tense psychological drama “Take Shelter.” And to observe Curtis LaForche (“Revolutionary Road” Oscar nominee Michael Shannon), we would agree; good job, nice home, loving family. But Curtis has been plagued by eerily apocalyptic visions as well as sheet-drenching nightmares, and they’re severe enough, and real enough, for him to fear for his family’s safety along with his own sanity. Samantha (Jessica Chastain, “Tree of Life”) knows something is up with her laconic husband, though it isn’t until he becomes obsessed with building out their tornado cellar that she grasps the gravity of the problem.

Writer-director Jeff Nichols (you should rent his fantastic debut feature, 2007’s “Shotgun Stories”) has crafted a powerful, subversive parable for the way we live now, juggling our continually percolating dread over finances, health, marriage, along with just about anything else our minds are free to fixate on.

Reteaming with his “Shotgun Stories” director, Shannon extends his invaluable streak thanks to a controlled performance shot through with effective rumbles of unhinged thunder. The earthy Chastain is a perfect foil for Shannon and his looming physicality, as is Kathy Baker, who makes the most of one lovely, sad scene as Curtis’s schizophrenic mother.

And that ending is a polarizing doozy.

Canterbury is Calling You 221 Canterbury Road This lovely 1918, 3,3073 square foot home is a must see! The stucco exterior is complimented by graceful architectural lines and landscaping. A hosta lined sidewalk leads to the original beveled glass front door, which opens to an entrance vestibule with original tile floor. Your first impression when stepping into the front hall is that of light and space. Windows everywhere! Straight ahead is a graceful staircase and arched entryway to the kitchen. The living room, to the right, is spacious with Arts and Crafts style floor molding, gumwood trim, and a gas fireplace for chilly Rochester winter evenings. A wall of windows at the rear of the room gives great light to a cozy sitting area with a window seat and dining nook. There is a newly remodeled half bath and door to the basement in the hall between this great space and the kitchen.

The spacious dining room is left of the main hall and the original butler’s pantry is passed through on the way to the kitchen. This pantry, with original cabinets, offers 1918 charm with a great deal of space to store 2011 items. The kitchen is a unique wonder!

A back wall of two story windows opens the room to the sky! This newly renovated room offers efficient work space and gleaming stainless appliances. It is a wonderful space in which to spend time cooking or enjoying a meal. In winter you will be in the snow, but

warm and in summer you can enjoy the sun, but be cool in the air conditioning.

The rear stairs lead to a lofted office space overlooking the kitchen—with the same two story window view. This office has its own full bath. The upstairs bedrooms have an unusually large amount of closet space. A front bedroom has two closets, one a walk-in.

The newly renovated master bath is elegant and luxurious with heated floors, a vanity with terrazzo counter top and lighting underneath, soaking tub, and glass enclosed shower. The upstairs trim is gumwood, the doors have original glass knobs and the hall has a large built in linen closet.

221 Canterbury, on a 50’x147’ lot, is among a variety of early 20th century, architecturally significant homes on a lovely tree lined city street in the Park Avenue neighborhood. It is close to restaurants, shops and the I- 490 exits to Culver Rd. and Monroe Ave. The furnace, hot water heater and AC are new. This home is listed at $279,900. To see this city treasure, visit rochestercityliving.com/property/R168714 or contact Nothnagle Realtor Michael Faucher at 585-756-7282 or mfaucher@nothnagle.com.
