POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE | PAGE 8 | PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY MATT DETURCK

America for sale This year’s presidential race was likely twice as expensive as the 2008 contest. And spending on federal elections – not just the presidential race, but the House and Senate contests, too — could’ve hit $6 billion, says Opensecrets.org, a website that tracks campaign fund-raising and spending.

Money and politics is not a new marriage. But in modern politics, it’s not just the candidates and political parties raising and spending large sums of money; outside groups are spending more and more each election, too.

The Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in Citizens United didn’t help. It gave corporations the ability to spend money to influence elections; they just can’t give directly to candidates.

Across the country, chapters of the reform group Move to Amend are trying to get corporate money out of politics. The group is pushing for a constitutional amendment that would nullify Citizens United and a previous court decision that equates money with speech and allows for unlimited spending to influence elections.

GUEST COMMENTARY | by PATRICIA UTTARO

Libraries, e-books, and the freedom to read Public libraries are champions of books and defenders of your freedom to read. They provide a wide variety of reading materials and access for all.

It’s an important role, because a free society depends on freedom to read to ensure universal access to information, new ideas, different opinions, learning through books, and knowledge. These activities are protected by the US Constitution.

But the freedom to read through your public library could be in jeopardy.

Several major publishers have refused to sell or license e-books to public libraries. Some make e-books available at very high prices or impose heavy restrictions on their use. Those obstacles severely limit library e-book selections – particularly the most popular books – and make it inconvenient for people to get e-books through their library.

The projected growth of e-books over the next five years could transform that inconvenience into an encroachment on your freedom to read.

E-books are here to stay. A recent PricewaterhouseCoopers report projects that by the year 2016, e-books will make up 50 percent of the US trade-book market, and spending on printed books will be limited. A study by the Pew Research Center’s Internet and American Life Project found that 20 percent of adults had read an e-book over the past year. And libraries are already responding to the trend, with 76 percent offering e-books as part of their collections and 39 percent lending e-readers.

It is possible that in the not-toodistant future, new books may only be published in digital format. When that happens, those with an e-book reader, a credit card, and disposable income will have the most freedom to read – creating a deeper-than-ever digital divide and, even worse, a significant knowledge divide.

And that would be far more than an inconvenience.

Just as libraries have reinvented themselves over the years to adjust to dramatic changes in research needs, reading habits, and lending practices, traditional book publishers must reinvent their business models and their relationships with libraries to meet their bottom lines while continuing to support broad access.

Librarians and library organizations across the country are drawing attention to the challenges of e-book access and trying to get publishers to change their practices.

Right now, there are discussions and pilots underway between some publishers and some libraries to develop mutually acceptable models for e-book library lending. These discussions will be productive only if they lead to broad action to make e-books available to all libraries for use by the reading public with no strings attached.

But libraries and librarians can’t resolve this important universal access

issue alone. They need readers, stakeholders, and policy makers to voice their concerns about the importance of preserving the freedom to read despite changes in what books look like today. The basic right to read hasn’t changed – only the vehicle for delivering books to anyone and everyone seeking information, opinions, knowledge, and the pure joy of sitting down with a good book.

You can support this effort by reaching out to community stakeholders, local and state elected officials, and your members of Congress to make them aware of the e-book lending challenge and to get their support for preserving universal freedom to read and for encouraging committed collaboration between libraries and publishers.

Because your freedom to read is worth fighting for.

Uttaro is director of the Rochester Public Library, Monroe County Library System.

City’s coverage of the candidates

I look forward to reading your paper every week, because it is the only publication that does such a great job of covering local events and business, etc.

I was extremely disappointed with your recent article concerning the Congressional race between Maggie Brooks and Louise Slaughter.

I have never read anything so one-sided in my life. You may as well change the name of your paper to the Liberal Democrat Press.

Maybe you need a refresher course on what journalism really is and what your responsibilities are in that regard. As a newspaper, you should be providing in-depth, thoughtprovoking information on the candidates. Instead, you spent three pages bashing Maggie City

Brooks and little more than a page on how wonderful Louise Slaughter is.

I am not disputing your assertions in the Maggie Brooks article, but are you seriously going to tell us that there is nothing negative in Louise Slaughter’s 26 years of governing?

The only thing I detest more than the lies all the politicians spew is the unabashed bias in the media.

You are supposed to provide us with unbiased reporting with all the facts and let us determine where we go from there. You should be ashamed of yourself.

You have no right to call yourself a newspaper; all you are is an advertisement for whomever you support.

I’ll continue to read the paper, because you do a great job covering the local restaurants and community, but I am definitely passing by on anything with perceived substantive value, because I can’t believe your coverage will be honest.

Congress must back diplomacy

I worry about another devastating and unneeded war. I hope whoever wins the presidency supports real, sustained diplomacy and that my members of Congress work toward this goal. As former US Ambassador to Israel Thomas Pickering recently wrote, “Patient, committed diplomacy is the only way to realize the long-term and durable objectives of an Iran without nuclear weapons and a region without war.”

I was glad to hear both presidential candidates mention diplomacy with Iran during the debate this week,

but I’m concerned that some in Congress are already saying that the time for talking with Iran is over. Think about how much different our world would have been if our leaders had attacked China when it was developing a nuclear weapon. A lot of the same things that are being said about Iran now were being said about China then.

War is not the answer to the conflict between the US and Iran. While in the debate I was glad to hear talk about peaceful resolution of the conflict between the US and Iran, I’m concerned that Congress could undermine diplomacy. I hope our senators will speak out on the Senate floor in support of diplomacy to prevent war and a nuclear-armed Iran and oppose any legislation that puts roadblocks in the way of diplomacy.

Fracking complexity

New York has the nation’s worst, and most abusive,

compulsory-integration law, whereby people who do not want their land fracked can be forced to do so if enough people in their “unit” have signed leases (“Fracking’s Insurance Issues,” News).

This compulsory-integration action amounts to a state-mandated violation of a mortgage holder’s mortgage terms, as well as violating homeowners’ insurance policy (turning a home property into a heavy industrial site, to name just one violation), subjecting policy holders to re-evaluation of their policies and higher premiums – or no premiums at all.

As current law stands, if the fracking driller or any of its sub-contractors lack sufficient insurance to cover damages, accidents, personal injury, or death, the leaseholder is then liable to have the risk transferred to his insurance company.

Nobody in his right mind would write a policy in such a situation.

New York, New York Each day brings more news of the pain lingering in the Greater New York area: more than 100 dead, countless homes and businesses destroyed, tens of thousands of people displaced.

Scientists have been careful about linking the storm itself to global warming; an individual storm can’t be linked to longterm climate changes. But scientists haven’t hesitated to link Sandy’s horrific damage to global warming – and to warn that we’ll see more storms like this one in the future, and more damage, because of it.

Too many political leaders aren’t facing up to the danger of global warming, cowed by pressure from fossilfuel business interests and an irrational fear of the fringe right.

Meanwhile, we’ve delayed upgrading our infrastructure, from storm sewers to the power grid. And we have let development destroy wetlands that help protect low areas from storm surges.

We’ve become a woefully antiintellectual nation, lagging behind in education in science, math, engineering, and technology, and literally sneering at science and scientists.

On occasion, we wake up to obvious threats. Most of us recognize the danger of tobacco use, and we’ve accepted both regulations and taxes to limit it. Tobacco’s carnage has taken place one individual death at a time, the pain isolated and private; it shouldn’t be hard, then, to grasp the broader threat of global warming.

We may pretend to be a world leader, but we’re a woefully anti-intellectual one, literally sneering at science and scientists.”

And yet: In 2005, we saw death and destruction on a massive scale in the Gulf Coast, after years of ignoring both scientific evidence and warnings. We’ve had evidence and warnings about what could happen on the East Coast, too. But rather than uniting behind the scientists and pushing, at last, for action – rather than insisting that we lead the world in the effort to combat global warming – US political leaders have dawdled and argued, finding a pinhead to dance on, agreeing that change might have happened but questioning humans’ role in it.

And so the pain of Sandy lingers in Manhattan and the Rockaways and Red Hook and Staten Island. And we wait for the next storm.

This week’s print edition headed to press before polls closed on Tuesday, but we’ll have plenty of election coverage on our website, rochestercitynewspaper.com. Join us there.

Bill Harter Our City publishing family lost an important member late last month with the death of our former circulation manager, Bill Harter.

Bill was a lively, funny, influential, creative, fascinating, and adorable member of our staff from 1979 to 1991.

A wiry, gray-haired, pony-tailed retired Postal Service worker, Bill learned the needs and quirks of our business quickly.

He wrestled with postal regulations, made sure that our circulation grew, and made sure that our newsstand distribution was effective and efficient.

He was endlessly patient, not only with our staff and customers but with successive groups of teenagers who, in that pre-computerized period, helped with circulation duties. And his non-work

interests were as zany and wonderful as he was: Old cars. Flying (not surprising for a former World War II fighter pilot).

Roller coasters (the object of many trips).

Downhill skiing (including a stint on the Ski Patrol). The Rolling Stones (leading to his winning – to great shouts from the staff here – a trip to a Stones concert in England, in a local radio contest).

He was a devoted family man – and a devoted member of our City staff, keeping in touch long after he moved to Florida, e-mailing from there and stopping by to visit when he was back in town.

Bill left a hole in our staff when he moved away from Rochester. And his death has left a great big hole in our hearts.

Fire chief announcement coming

Rochester Mayor Richards said last week that he expects to announce a replacement for former Fire Chief John Caufield shortly. Caufield left the department in the spring to become mid-Atlantic regional director of the National Fire Protection Association. He had been chief since 2007.

Salvatore Mitrano, executive deputy chief of the Rochester Fire Department, has been serving as interim chief while the city searches for Caufield’s replacement.

RazorSharks owner buys Dome

Sev Hrynak, owner of the RazorSharks basketball team, is buying the Dome Arena from the Monroe County Fair and Recreation Association. The RazorSharks have played at the Blue Cross Arena at the Rochester Community War Memorial since 2005. But Hrynak could not reach an acceptable deal on a new lease for the space.

Kodak’s earnings drop

Eastman Kodak’s future looks even bleaker. The company says it lost

$222 million in the third quarter after sales of its digital cameras and film fell to new lows. The company’s revenue is down 17 percent from a year ago. The company also won court approval Monday “to stop providing health and welfare benefits to 56,000 U.S. retirees and dependents,” says the Democrat and Chronicle.

Runaway train station?

The New York State Department of Transportation has taken the intermodal station project off the City of Rochester’s hands, and city officials are wary.

“Our concern is that we’ve invested a fair amount of time and effort in getting this design and this plan in place, and people are very attached to it,” says Mayor Tom Richards.

The $27-million intermodal station for trains and buses will replace the aging Central Avenue train station, which was meant to be temporary when it was built in 1978. Conceptual designs harkening back to Rochester’s old Bragdon station have been released.

Richards says there’s no telling what state officials will do with the project: they may start from scratch.

Another concern is that the state will spend most of the money on improving the tracks, while giving the building short shrift.

“Ultimately, they want to prepare the tracks for high-speed rail,” Richards says. “High-speed rail is a wonderful thing, but it’s a long time coming here. And we really don’t think we should shortchange the terminal for the tracks.”

The bulk of the funding for the intermodal station is coming from the state, and the state has been

taking a more active role in projects in which it is significantly invested, Richards says.

But the DOT needs to know that the city is watching, he says.

“This is not a big project, so it’s kind of fragile in terms of what could actually happen,” Richards says. “But it may work out. And one of the ways to make sure it works out is by doing a little moaning and groaning in the beginning.”

A state DOT representative said last week that the department is “knee deep in storm response” and couldn’t provide comment on this story.

Middle-class families aren’t leaving the city and its school system because of the buildings.

They pursued options that are more likely to result in better outcomes for their children.

And they will continue to do so unless the district drastically improves student achievement.

Downsizing won’t improve performance The Rochester school district’s population is shrinking. Students and their families are leaving in large numbers — opting for charter, private, or suburban schools instead of the district’s portfolio of mostly lowperforming schools.

Superintendent Bolgen Vargas now has to convince school board members, parents, and the community that he knows how to right-size the district in a way that meets the city’s current and future needs.

Vargas has presented school board members with a draft proposal that recommends closing five city schools to jettison unneeded space and save money. And he wants to spend about $625 million over the next 10 years modernizing some of the district’s schools. The plan is supposed to dovetail with the $325 million first phase of building modernization work that is already under way.

Vargas says elementary schools 16, 22, 25, 36, and 37 are old, obsolete, and should be closed. Fitting them for technology and other modern classroom needs wouldn’t be worth the cost, he says.

The task force charged with evaluating the condition of the schools also recommended modernizing about eight schools.

While most of the initial focus will undoubtedly be on the school closings, Vargas’s proposal raises a number of broader questions that deserve vetting.

For starters, middle-class families aren’t leaving the city and its school system because of the buildings. They pursued options that are more likely to result in better outcomes for their children. And they will continue to do so unless the district drastically improves student achievement.

The district and the city need to assure residents and taxpayers that spending $1 billion on buildings does more than shuffle students around. And that may involve re-evaluating the controversial school choice program.

Rob after addiction

NOVEMBER 14TH, 2012

ROCHESTERCITYNEWSPAPER.COM

Rob (last name withheld), 24, is a recovering addict. Before seeking treatment, he overdosed on heroin. Photo by MATT DETURCK

With his stocky build and all-around good looks, Rob (last name withheld) could be the college kid next door. It’s easy to picture him passing a football, cramming for an exam in the library, or delivering pizza for some extra money.

And those might have been snippets from Rob’s life if it hadn’t been interrupted by alcohol and drugs. But at 24, Rob’s a recovering addict. After spending several days in detox, he sought treatment in July 2011 at Unity Chemical Dependency outpatient clinic.

Though the numbers vary, government data shows that between 17 million and 30 million Americans are alcoholics and more than 20 million regularly use illegal drugs.

While addiction can take many forms — alcohol, drugs, tobacco, food, gambling — it is generally defined as a compulsive behavior where the drug of choice has become the controlling factor in a person’s life. If untreated, the disease can progress to problems ranging from health issues to incarceration.

With some diseases, patients are passive recipients of treatment. But that’s not the case with alcoholism and drug addiction. Battling addiction often involves making a daily commitment to change, something the addict’s body and mind may vigorously challenge.

Successful recovery is almost always hard won.

Counselors often say addiction doesn’t

discriminate, and Rob is a good example.

One of five boys, he grew up in a middle-class family in a small town west of Rochester. His childhood was as normal as could be, he says.

City

November 7-13, 2012

“No one introduced me to drugs,” he says.

“It was just happenstance. I was hanging out with my friends and it was my own curiosity.”

Rob was 17 and still in high school when he started drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana. By the time he began attending Monroe Community College, his drinking had increased and he was using acid and cocaine.

“In my social group there were a lot of people smoking pot and drinking,” he says. “At first it was a lot of drinking, and [then] moving into hallucinogens, acid, and that. From there, I got into cocaine. I was keeping up with that for about a year or more. It was a lot of weekend binging, and sometimes it was on weekdays.”

It wasn’t long before Rob began abusing prescription drugs — something Unity’s addiction therapists say they are seeing more of among younger addicts.

“I started off with Vicodin and Percocet, the lower-end painkillers,” Rob says. “Then I got into OxyContin, and that was when I started to do it every day.”

Two years ago, Rob began shooting heroin.

Rob’s drug use began to impact his education. He was constantly switching his major: he started off in biotech, switched to mechanical engineering, and then to electrical engineering. For a while he pursued a career as a social worker.

Rob also managed to pass a couple of calculus courses, but he eventually dropped out of MCC to work full time at a variety of jobs.

His paychecks went to buying drugs, he says.

Addicts often become highly skilled at deception, some experts say. Rob says

his parents and family members didn’t know about his addiction because he only revealed his problem in small pieces, never fully telling them the truth.

“I kind of did it to throw them off my tracks,” he says. “I would say I was addicted to coke when I was really addicted to pills.

I was addicted to pills when I was really doing heroin. I would kind of give them the lesser and say, ‘Well, I’m not doing that anymore.’ And it would be the thing that wouldn’t be obvious to find. I’m not doing coke, so you’re not going to find straws and coke baggies in my room.”

But two events accelerated Rob’s downward slide: an arrest for shoplifting and, even worse, a heroin overdose.

“It was basically a normal drug-getting day,” he says. “We went into the city and copped some dope and we started to shoot up. My friend asked me how it was and I said it was good. Then everything went black and I kind of woke up, and a paramedic was leaning over me.”

Addiction is a lonely disease, Rob says, like

living in “a chaotic black hole.”

You know you’re in trouble when even other addicts can’t stand to be around you, he says.

The hardest part about recovery is getting started, Rob says. He says it’s like driving a stick-shift and never getting out of first gear.

But Rob has come a long way, says Erin Corey, an addiction therapist with Unity.

Rob has moved from sobriety — where he’s stopped using alcohol and drugs — to recovery, where he has begun the difficult work of exploring the causes of his addiction.

“He has a lot of insight for someone so young,” Corey says. “Now I think he believes he can make changes in his life, and he’s already made a lot of changes.”

Rob’s recovery has gone so well he now volunteers as a recovery peer at Unity. He helps Corey in group counseling, sometimes by sharing his own experiences with newly sober addicts.

He’s also featured in a video on Unity’s website, and he’s back in school. He says his life is completely different now, but he recognizes that he will always be in recovery.

“I will always be an alcoholic and addict,” he says. “Once I start I can’t stop.”

And he says he’s learning to let go of the guilt and shame associated with his former life.

“I just thought I was terminally unique, that my way was better, and it wasn’t,” he says. “Now I’m a work in progress. I’ll never be completely done, and it’s constant work. But it’s not a chore.”

By one estimate, this year’s federal elections could cost as much as $6 billion. That’s a projection from the Center for Responsive Politics, the organization that runs the campaign finance tracking website Opensecrets.org.

The number may be shocking, but it’s not spontaneous or arbitrary; it’s been decades in the making.

And the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in Citizens United opened up a new stream “We see the electoral process becoming more and more corrupted each cycle,” says Sam Fedele of Perinton, a member of the local Move to Amend chapter. “The evidence is the negative ads that you see.”

Fedele and other Move to Amend members say the best and possibly only recourse is a constitutional amendment specifying that a corporation is not a person, but a legal entity without constitutional rights. The amendment would also say that money is not speech, and governments can limit and prohibit contributions and expenditures, and they can enact disclosure requirements.

Weak, loophole-riddled campaign finance laws are also part of the money problem. They allow corporations and the wealthy to funnel money into organizations set up so they don’t have to disclose their donors. The result: unlimited spending without accountability.

For example, Republican operative Karl Rove’s organizations, American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, lead in independent expenditures for the 2012 elections, spending at least $157.6 million. But the groups didn’t City

of political money by giving corporations the right to spend their cash to influence elections. Essentially, it extended the 1976 ruling in Buckley v. Valeo, which cast political spending as a form of speech. In Buckley v. Valeo, the court said individuals have the right to spend as much money as they want to influence elections, as long as they weren’t giving directly to candidates. In Citizens United, the court said corporations have that right, too.

disclose their donors, and by law they don’t have to since they are nonprofits and not political committees.

Super PAC’s, unions, and other outside groups had put more than $1.1 billion into the 2012 federal races by the end of October.

As of October 17, presidential candidates Barack Obama, a Democrat, and Republican Mitt Romney had raised a combined total of more than $1 billion and were nearing that mark in spending. The 2008 presidential election cost $1.7 billion, twice as much as the 2004 contest.

The Congressional races haven’t come cheap, either.

House candidates raised approximately $1 billion and spent approximately $891.9 million as of October 17, according to federal elections data posted on Opensecrets.org.

Senate candidates raised $627.6 million and spent $540.6 million in that same timeframe.

And those sums don’t include the half-billion dollars of outside spending reported in those races. Again, none of these are final figures, and there’s typically a lot of spending in the last weeks of a campaign.

Enter Move to Amend, a reform organization with chapters across the country. The organization’s members say that the growing influence of wealthy donors and corporate cash erodes democracy; elected representatives have to think about how their large donors would react to their votes.

Monroe County residents have had a firsthand look at the results of that spending, via two area House races. Rove’s Crossroads GPS spent $1.2 million to produce and air ads attacking incumbent Democrat Louise Slaughter in her race for the 25th Congressional District against Republican Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks.

Outside ad spending isn’t necessarily about building an image or name-recognition.

In many cases, outside groups are trying to reframe the domestic agenda, to get people and politicians to pay attention to the issues they think are important.

And those issues and interests don’t necessarily align with the interests and desires of the general public. Often, they have to do with regulations. Corporations may want to overturn or water down environmental regulations that benefit the public, or banks may want to undo consumer protections that they see as impediments to larger profits.

“Corporations do a lot of good things,” says Dave McLaughlin, a local Move to Amend member. “But multi-national corporations, their loyalty isn’t necessarily with the United States.”

Fedele says money and corporate spending in politics are often perceived as liberal issues. But there’s a strong conservative case for undoing Citizens United and Buckley v.

Valeo, he says.

For one, the founding fathers never intended for corporations’ influence to trump that of the greater public, he says.

But money from wealthy donors and corporations is also an impediment to shrinking the size of government, Fedele says.

For example, defense contractors are free to spend in support of candidates who would vote to maintain or increase military spending. “[You’re] never going to get small government because corporations see the government as a source of revenue,” Fedele says.

Amending the Constitution is no easy

task. The US Senate’s website says that as of the end of 2010, 11,447 amendments had been proposed since the country was founded, and only 27 have been ratified.

Among those that have failed or stalled: the Equal Rights Amendment and a measure that would give Washington, D.C., representation in Congress.

The challenge is to make people understand and care about a complex subject, such as the influence of money on the political system. Once they do, they can educate and pressure their local elected officials, who can pressure higher office-holders and party officials further up the chain to build momentum for an amendment.

Move to Amend Rochester says the first step is to educate the public, and the group is developing a program to discuss money in politics with civics-oriented classes at secondary schools and colleges.

It’s also planning a seminar featuring speakers on different sides of the issue.

Local elected officials would be invited and given a chance to comment.

And at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 14, Move to Amend Rochester and Public Citizen, a national political reform and consumer advocacy group, will host a forum at the Perinton Community Center, 1350 Turk Hill Road. The forum will focus on Citizens United, but also on how state legislation can promote fairer elections.

Locally and nationally, Move to Amend

is trying to be creative with its education efforts. Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream co-founder Ben Cohen worked with the national network of Move to Amend for the Stampede to Amend tour. At the center of

That initiative also includes a tour of the Amend-O-Matic, a truck-mounted machine (Some members of Congress have also introduced amendments to address for stamping bills. That tour did not come political spending.) through Rochester.

If that amendment is ratified, federal, state, and local governments would be Move to Amend is not the only group able to pass new laws to limit campaign working to address issues around money in politics.

And as the cost of interests and corporate leaders who are campaigning increases, candidates need more dumping money into elections through deep-pocketed supporters. outside spending.

For that reason, undoing Citizens United may prove a heavy lift.

While Move to Amend has proposed a single amendment to cover both Citizens United and Buckley v. Valeo, Fedele says rochestercitynewspaper.com

Greek peek [ CHOW HOUND ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

In this day and age, an online presence should be a priority for any business, especially a new restaurant hoping to persuade curious customers to spend their hard-earned money at an as-yet-unfamiliar place. Opa! Authentic Greek Koozina, which opened recently in Henrietta’s Frontier Commons, posted its impressive menu a few weeks before its projected debut, a shrewd move that had me daydreaming about juicy souvlaki, garlicky spreads, flaky spanakopita, and maybe a hearty helping of pastitsio. Oh, and some baklava, too.

No, it’s not too difficult to find a decent gyro ’round these parts, but Opa! is only one of a couple spots whose menu skews pretty strictly Greek, and with a surprising number of seafood options beyond the typical fried squid. (Which reminds me: the Kalamari Yianni’s starter [$9], tossed with lemon, feta, and peperoncini = yum.) Appetizers include various preparations of shrimp, octopus, mussels, and smelts, and dinner brings out the grouper and salmon entrees ($19-$21).

Non-carnivores are usually happy going Greek; there’s warm or cold dolmades ($7), oven-roasted gigante beans with tomatoes, carrots, and herbs ($7), and a half-dozen

spreads ($7 each), like the salty, spicy redpepper-and-feta-blend known as tyrokafteri, and melitzanosalata, made from smoky roasted eggplant.

Roomy and tastefully decorated, with golds, ochres, and bright splashes of Aegean blue, Opa! honors the classics, like a crisp Greek salad ($8/$11; add some protein for several bucks more), the creamy tzatziki that balances the succulence of the meaty pitas ($8-$9), and comforting moussaka, a pillowy béchamel atop savory layers of eggplant, zucchini, potatoes, and ground beef sautéed with herbs and wine ($12/$14). Opa!’s wine and beer license is on its way; until then, it’s the smells and flavors that do the intoxicating.

Opa! Authentic Greek Koozina is located at 1175 Jefferson Road. It is open MondayThursday 11 a.m.-10 p.m., Friday-Saturday 11 a.m.-11 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m.-9 p.m.

Lunch prices range from $5 to $14, dinner prices up to $24. For more information, call 272-0001 or visit oparochester.com.

The sweet spot

The menu at State Street Bakery & Eatery, which recently set up shop downtown at the former site of the much-missed O’Bagelo’s, features the breakfast and lunch stuff you’d

likely be looking for: egg sandwiches, soups like white turkey chili and chicken tomato florentine, and hot sandwiches ranging from a turkey club to a roast pork with pickled daikon and sweet chili aïoli to a half-pound Angus burger. What you may not expect to find is a perfect madeleine, tender and lemony and with the proper bump. Or a chocolatecheese croissant the same size as your hand (well, my hand anyway). Or a buttery Milano-type cookie with rich dark chocolate tucked in the middle. But all those treats are there, and then some. I guess that’s why “Bakery” comes first.

State Street Bakery & Eatery is located at 1165 State Street. It is open Monday-Friday 7 a.m.-4 p.m. Food prices range from $3.25 to $7.95.

For more information, call 319-4887, or visit its Facebook page.

Opening

The people behind a popular west side Jamaican eatery have dropped some new roots across the river and called it Natural Vibes Jerk Hut II (663 Culver Road, 3604434), which serves up traditional island favorites from breakfast through dinner and beyond. Begin your day with dishes like callaloo ($8/$10) or ackee and saltfish ($10/$12), then participate in some real nose-to-tail eating with manish water ($4, the famous goat’s head soup), or some jerk chicken, curry goat, or cow foot ($9/$11).

Friday, November 9 Water Street Music Hall, 204 N. Water St. 8 p.m. | $20-$23 | waterstreetmusic.com [ ROCK ] Brooklyn duo Sleigh Bells might seem,

judging by name alone, like an early holiday diversion. But don’t be misled by the moniker.

The pair pumps out a loud, raucous brand of noise pop/rock, awash in reverb and infectious riffs.

The group’s 2010 debut “Treats” was a darling of year-end best-of lists, and while most recent effort “Reign of Terror” was released to favorable, albeit mixed, reviews, it offers the same primitive punch as its predecessor. There is no “might” at play here: this show WILL get loud. Hip-hop producer AraabMUZIK opens. This show was rescheduled from early October, with tickets from the original date still valid for the Friday show. — BY ANDY KLINGENBERGER

Pietasters Saturday, November 10 Dub Land Underground, 315 Alexander St. 7 p.m. | $12-$15 | thepietasters.com [ SKA ] D.C. dancehall darlings The Pietasters are an

eight-man ska-sational onslaught that has been tasting pies and igniting dance floors full of piestompers since the early 90’s. The band’s brass-tastic, flipped-beat, rhythmdriven frenzy is back-breakingly beautiful and bombastic.

Don’t try to fight the urge. “All Day” is the new album, and the band’s first of new material in five years. Keaton, Mrs. Skannotto, and Envious Disguise add gas to the fire.

[ REVIEW ] By Frank De Blase

[ SWAMP METAL ] Swamp metal reminds me of zombie

films; it’s slow and terrifying and still manages to overcome you no matter how fast you run. The music is intense and deceptively fast within its slow grind. Enter Black Tusk from the swamps of Savannah, Georgia, a brutal threepiece band that is as much thrash metal as it is steeped in doom. Relentless and ominous, this band sets the bar for contemporary metal with a nod to its dark past. Run. To The Deep, Oceans of Insects, and Night Terror add more to the spectacle and awe. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Rochester Early Music Festival Friday, November 9 St. Anne Church, 1600 Mt. Hope Ave. 7:30 p.m. | $5-$15 | 381-7149, wp.musicaspei.org [ CLASSICAL ] Musica Spei presents and performs as

part of the 12th Annual Rochester Early Music Festival.

Musica Spei performs a cappella style from a vast repertoire of rarely performed, sacred choral masterworks of the Medieval and Renaissance periods. Also performing will be Pegasus Early Music, the Amadeus Chorale, Eastman Collegium Baroque Orchestra and Viol Consort, Baroquen Bones, Publick Musick, and organists Christopher Wilke and T. Woolard Harris. The concert is performed prism-style, as music flows from one piece to the next, and performers position themselves everywhere from the front of the church to its upper balcony and along the aisles. — BY PALOMA A. CAPANNA

Rochesterians love their synchronicity.

And no, I’m not talking about the Ice Capades, I’m going on about ZZ Top, which delivered a primal killer-diller rock ’n’ roll display Friday night at The Main Street Armory for around 3,000 fans. The band strolled out onto a relatively sparse stage summa cum loud and immediately launched into three classics: the band’s version of Sam and Dave’s “Thank You,” “Waitin’ On The Bus,” and “Jesus Just Left Chicago.” (Speaking of Jesus, he had a couple of his loudmouthed minions out front beating their bibles and warning us about the lake of fire we would all be bathing in thanks to ZZ Top.) The trio took the chill out the damp night with rumbling hellfire and a swaggering, laidback back beat and that aforementioned synchronicity. Whether it was a casual leg-wiggle or a fuzzy guitar’s 360, the crowd went bananas when guitarist Billy Gibbons and bassist Dusty Hill pulled the old soft shoe a la Hope and Crosby.

Gibbons’ guitar tone was thick and swampy as he sung in a lowdown growl so husky it could have been pulled by a dog sled. A little trivia for you tone hounds: Gibbons plays on .07 gauge strings, even

though they sound big enough to be suspension-bridge cables. It seemed to me there were too many drums for the simple rhythm and swing the band churns out, even on thundering classics like “Heard it On The X.” The band dug generously into its lengthy catalogue, including its popular 80’s electronic-ified stuff like “Legs” and “Sharp-Dressed Man,” which frankly I dig the least. Thankfully, the Texas trio’s new album “La Futura” leans back into that comfy boogie we all like wallowing in, just like a big ol’ lake-of-fire bubblebath.

Tommy Brunett opened the show and knocked out an immaculate infield homer with a brief set of honkified rock ’n’ tonk. The crowd was receptive and clearly drove the band into an immediate, full-set crescendo.

Fellow wordsmith, saxophonist, and dark soul Charles Benoit brought his rocksteady pals in Some Ska Band to do just that at Tala Vera Saturday night. The joint was saturated and sardined to capacity as the band put its fingerprints on TwoTone and Studio One classics from the likes of Toots and the English Beat. The band is loose in its newness, but comfortable in its knowledge and obvious love of ska.

It’s Declan Ryan’s lyrics that get you first. This Rochester singer-songwriter still searches for the appropriate genre in which to focus his insight, but his interim sound — his default strain, if you will — allows for his words to burn unfettered with a stark, undeniable hipster cool. The 23-year-old’s enigmatic lyricism and bare-bone guitar strike like Michelle Shocked’s “Texas Campfire Tapes,” or the early work of Ryan Adams (before Adams got buried in a pile his own prolific output).

There are certainly more refined artists in our local music scene, but Ryan’s search and his invitation for everyone to spelunk along with him, makes for an engaging listen and a peek under music’s hood.

Ryan seems to be throwing it all against the wall to see what sticks. He lends guitar to the swinging roots-rock un-band, The Public Market Band, has played with Gunnar Stahl, Club Sandwich, and recently came off an East Coast tour with Ahura Mazda.

For Ryan, it’s the songwriter that comes first in the chow line before the singer. And it’s the words that are at the heart of it all.

“Definitely the songwriter,” he says. “My voice is definitely my weak spot. I used to be a guitar teacher back in the day and always had more luck with that. But first and foremost are lyrics and a catchy tune.”

But at the same time, Ryan agrees it’s a combo collaboration of the two.

“Sometimes, like in the case of artists like Leonard Cohen, where a lot of his songs were published as poems first. And a lot of people analyze Simon and Garfunkel that way as well. I think the two are definitely separate spheres, but the lyrics are integral to the music. The two really can’t be separated.”

But do lyrics and music each pull their fair share? Singer-songwriter fans seem to be willing to give bad singing a pass as long as the lyrics hold up. Consider Bob Dylan, for example.

“I’ve heard numerous accounts that he’s really a good singer,” Ryan says. “And that’s just a front he puts up… Or take somebody like Cohen, who doesn’t have a traditionally good voice. Or Tom Waits. The point at which you’re alright is when it stops interfering with the music. And that’s as far as you need to get. The way I see it; if you want to be a singer songwriter, if you want to be able to stand in a room with a guitar or piano and play a song, and have people get into it, there’s a certain baseline technical skill you need there. Anything above that is where you start developing your style.”

As original melodies and hooks get harder

and harder to mine from what once upon a time seemed like a bottomless well, artists like Ryan have to forage for what remains.

The lyrics give ownership, somewhat.

“It’s just a different set of experiences,” Ryan says. “I mean, a lot of people have done what I’ve done. I guess I just want to

write songs that I want to hear that nobody’s written yet.”

Though a fairly original artist, Ryan’s influences and intentions aren’t nearly as elusive as you might think. His references are reverential and unburied. His music is essentially anti-folk and his lyrics are Beat.

Think Ferlinghetti with some fizz, Kaufman with a kick. For example, from his song “Then Don’t Hipst:”

“All my lover’s names are on highway signs So baby, blow a kiss to the state line And pray we don’t come back this way For quite some time.

All these yellow lines and Jersey walls You see ’em once, you’ve seen ’em all.”

Ryan’s next step is to assemble an electric band to “explore and arrange these songs we’ve done acoustically and take it in more of a rock ’n’ roll direction,” he says. “I want to get some more people involved in it, but it seems that everybody that’s really talented is either crazy or busy.”

He says that the songs and their components will weather the potential electric storm, that treacherous teeter-totter between plugged and un-plugged treatments.

“Writing fairly simple songs with cowboy chords and not showing off, it’s pretty easy to go back and forth,” he says. “The way I see it, I want to make these pieces fit. It’s like a puzzle.

I want them to fit in a way that it’s appealing to somebody that knows nothing about music and somebody that’s been through music school or is a 10-year veteran. I want to give them balance.”

Mike Mizwinski was given his first guitar when he was only 2 years old. At 9, his father took him to his first Grateful Dead concert. It was then that he knew what he wanted to do with his life. As a teenager, Mizwinski joined his first band and began writing his own music. In 2008, after moving back to home to northern Pennsylvania to work on a solo career, his visceral guitar style and intriguing vocal ability impressed fusion bassist Hansford Rowe. Rowe invited Mizwinski to join his band, the international touring act Gongzilla.

ROCK | THE VIOLET LIGHTS

JAZZ | JOHN STOWELL

L.A. by way of Green Bay, Wisconsin, rock and raunch duo The Violet Lights pays so much homage to Britpop, you’d swear this band was from Blighty. There’s Mancunian guitar tremolo on some tracks, and Glasgowian choruses on others, giving debut EP “Sex & Sound” an across-thepond vibe. Joel Nass (vocals, guitar) and Amber Garvey (keyboard, vocals) make it tasty and leave audiences wanting for more. Lead single “Your Love/Not Enough” is pure bubblegum dance-punk that’s got me jumpin’ like Jack Flash. With Routine Involvements and Veluxe. DJ Professor follows the bands at midnight.

When Portland, Oregon, jazz guitarist John Stowell takes a solo, he aims high. Literally. Stowell’s guitar sits on his lap at a 45-degree angle, aimed at the stars. This may be unconventional, but it seems to allow the fingers on his left hand to zoom over the fret board with stunning dexterity. Stowell is a wonderfully melodic guitarist who has played with Milt Jackson, Art Farmer, Lionel Hampton, and many others. When he takes the stage at Bernunzio’s he’ll be playing a duo concert with Rochester’s world-class guitarist, Bob Sneider, whose style and guitar position are both straight ahead.

You may have seen him wandering recently through the Memorial Art Gallery. Tallish.

Glasses. Downstate accent. Both relaxed and hip at the same time. But you may not have realized that he was looking at art and hearing his own music.

“I thought it was an interesting concept: that I would select certain pieces of art from the collection at the Memorial Art Gallery and write a musical depiction of them,” says Jeff Tyzik, composer and principal Pops conductor of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra.

In the same breath, Tyzik acknowledges, “It’s not the first time it’s ever been done in history — perhaps you’ve heard of Mussorgsky’s ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’?”

Indeed, “Pictures at an Exhibition,” written in 1874 by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky, is not the only composition that comes to mind.

Examples of art-inspired classical music range from Franz Liszt’s 1858 composition “Sposalizio,” from his piano works titled “Deuxième Année de Pèlerinage, Italie,” inspired by Raphael’s painting “The Marriage of the Virgin”; to Erik Satie’s 1923 composition of 20 short pieces for the piano titled “Sports et Divertissements,” with illustrations by Charles Martin.

But, there is a stroke of originality in a composition inspired from works in the collection at Rochester’s own art museum.

It’s exactly what we’ll hear this weekend when Tyzik conducts the RPO for his 40minute work, “Images: Musical Impressions of an Art Museum.”

Tyzik was commissioned by Bob and Joanne

Gianniny to write the piece to commemorate the MAG’s 100th anniversary. Fifteen years ago, the Gianninys commissioned Tyzik to write a piece to celebrate the Genesee Country Village & Museum in Mumford.

The RPO patrons did not put any conditions on the art that Tyzik could select as the inspirations for this composition.

Wanting “to do something significant,” Tyzik wandered over to the Memorial Art Gallery and settled on seven works that became the seven sections of his composition. “I wandered the gallery with a totally open mind to see what interested me and what I thought 18 City november 7-13, 2012

might stimulate me musically,” says Tyzik.

Tyzik’s selections surprised even himself. He says, “There are phenomenal pieces of art in the collection, but not every one of them spoke to me in a way that I thought I could depict my feelings in sound. It was very spontaneous.

Certain pieces just spoke to me.”

First to inspire Tyzik was a sculpture of gates by Albert Paley, “Convergence” (1987), which Tyzik described as “very celebratory, inviting, and brassy.” Another floor sculpture, this one a clock by Wendell Castle, inspired Tyzik when he learned it was based upon Castle’s impressions of the 1920 silent horror film “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.”

“Each piece touched me in some way,” says Tyzik. “They inspired me to create a musical impression of these pieces.”

Tyzik often works out of town to fulfill engagements as principal Pops conductor of the Seattle Symphony, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, and the Florida Orchestra, and just last week he added the Detroit Symphony Orchestra to the list. That’s all in addition to various spots as a guest conductor from Boston to Dallas to Los Angeles and points in between. While he occasionally went back to the Memorial Art Gallery or referred to a photograph during the composing process, Tyzik says he really didn’t spend as much time in the gallery as he expected, because the impressions made upon him by the art were so striking.

Looking at the list of the seven selected

works, it begged the question on how Tyzik’s composition could work as a cohesive whole. It would be difficult to imagine these seven works of art, alone, by themselves, in a single room of the gallery, and not be standing with one’s head tipped to one side, mystified to see the connection.

Tyzik’s response was simple and true.

“How does a symphony hang together? How does an opera hang together? It hangs together because it has my name on it,” says Tyzik. “All composers have their sound, their technique, their how they look at music — this creates some of the cohesion.”

Even so, Tyzik admits that his new work, “Images,” is “a very eclectic piece.”

Tyzik is grateful for the opportunity to conduct the premiere of his own composition, pointing out that as the composer he has a special insight into the piece. Tyzik says that former RPO conductor and music director Christopher Seaman was at the podium for the 2010 premier of Tyzik’s “Timpani Concerto” and says, “He did a wonderful job, but he didn’t have the insight into the piece like I have.”

Tyzik says that when he has a chance to conduct his own compositions, it comes closer

RPO Principal Pops Conductor Jeff Tyzik is also an established composer. He debuts his new piece, based on artworks at the Memorial Art Gallery, this weekend. PHOTO PROVIDED

to what he intended. “I may get into rehearsal and make some changes, rebalance… I always like to have at least the first opportunity to do my pieces and then I can make any necessary adjustments,” says Tyzik.

Indeed, Tyzik is fortunate as a composer to also be a conductor and a musician (he plays the cornet). And, as Tyzik sees it, “It’s very good for this orchestra to have me in a capacity other than just in the capacity as a guy who stands up in a Pops concert and waves his arms.”

Over his lengthy and distinguished career, Tyzik has written more than 200 works for orchestra. He earned his undergraduate and masters degrees from Eastman School of Music, and has lived in the greater Rochester area for 43 years. But his travels as a conductor, guest conductor, composer, and jazz musician give him what he calls “a different perspective than a lot of people in the orchestra.”

Tyzik says, “Rochester is not this one little bubble I live in. I look at it in a global sense of what kind of issues we are facing in the arts world and what experience I can bring back from other places when I see how others are dealing with their struggles.”

Tyzik’s viewpoint inspires him to contribute to the RPO beyond the podium. “I’ve worked behind the scenes to contribute to the health of the orchestra financially and to contribute to its healthy relationship with the public,” says Tyzik.

“I’ve put my heart and soul into this orchestra, doing everything I could think of to do to keep it financially sound and keep consensus between management, musicians, and the board, so we are rolling in the same direction as we face the difficulties we have faced.”

ART | “Contemporary African American Printmakers”

Visitors to the “Contemporary African American Printmakers” exhibit at the Nazareth College Arts Center Gallery (4245 East Ave.) will gain something more than a pleasant afternoon of art viewing. Presented by Deborah Ronnen Fine Art, the exhibit focuses on 13 living, renowned African-American artists who regularly incorporate printmaking into their artwork. While visitors will see more than 30 works across a diverse range of print techniques, such as etching, lithography, wood block, screen print, gravure, and more, they will also gain knowledge of the printmaking process. As a backdrop to the artwork displayed, clips from “Art21—Art in the Twenty-First Century,” a Peabody Award-winning PBS series, will feature participating artists describing their work and process. Artist names that may stand out to those familiar with the field are Kara Walker, Martin Puryear, and Mickalene Thomas (artwork pictured).

The exhibit is being held in conjunction with Rochester’s premiere of Garth Fagan’s new work, “Lighthouse/ Lightning Rod,” which features music by Wynton Marsalis.

“Contemporary African American Printmakers” will represent the show’s set designer, Alison Saar, in four prints.

Visitors can see the exhibit Friday, November 9, through Friday, December 21, with an opening reception this Friday 5-9 p.m. Gallery hours are Wednesdays and Thursdays noon-5 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays noon-8 p.m., and Sundays noon-5 p.m. Note that the gallery will be closed November 22-23.

COMEDY | Bill Cosby

KIDS | Children’s Book Fest

SPECIAL EVENT | Firehouse Chili Cookoff

Most famously known as the beloved, sharp-witted father on “The Cosby Show,” Bill Cosby has repeatedly proven his ability to win over the hearts of Americans across the nation. Not only has he made a name for himself as an actor and comedian, Cosby has also participated in a variety of concerts, recordings, and educational commercials. In terms of making strides for racial equality, the American icon broke barriers in television as the first African American to co-star in a dramatic series on the TV show “I Spy.” In an age where vulgarity frequently dominates the entertainment scene, Cosby has found a way to captivate audiences in a wholesome, yet, hilarious manner.

With daylight hours waning, pleasure reading seems more and more alluring as an evening activity after school or work. A great way to learn more about as-of-yet undiscovered books, authors, and illustrators is to bring the family to the Rochester Children’s Book Festival” On Saturday, November 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. authors, illustrators, and avid readers will gather at Monroe Community College (1000 E. Henrietta Road) to meet, discuss books, and attend workshops and presentations.

Some workshop topics include how to write mysteries, fantasies, and poetry. The festival is presented by Lift Bridge Book Shop, in affiliation with Monroe Community College, 292-Baby, and Rundel Library Foundation, and is free (parking included) and open to the public. For more information, visit rochesterchildrensbookfestival.org. — BY LILLIAN DICKERSON

Nothing whets my appetite for chili more than being trapped indoors on a cold, wet day. With the way the weather’s been raging in Rochester lately, the 9th Annual Firehouse Chili Cookoff can’t come soon enough. Hosted at the historic firehouse home of the Genesee Center for the Arts and Education at 713 Monroe Ave., the contest will take place Saturday, November 10, 4:30-7:30 p.m. with proceeds going toward programs GCAE provides for the community.

On Friday, November 9, at 8 p.m. Cosby will perform live at the Auditorium Theatre (885 E. Main St.). Tickets range from $52 to $82. For more information or to purchase tickets, call 2225000 or visit rbtl.org. — BY LILLIAN DICKERSON

One view of the Tom Otterness commission, “The Creation Myth,” now installed in the Memorial Art Gallery’s growing Centennial Sculpture Park. PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

Otterness sculpture complete; MAG sculpture park proceeds [ FEATURE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Over the past few months striking progress has been made on the Memorial Art Gallery’s Centennial Sculpture Park, as well as the ArtWalk Extension project that has transformed the surrounding neighborhood. Sections of the forbidding iron fence that previously surrounded the gallery’s grounds have been removed, and the at-one-time boiling controversy over the large-scale sculptural installation by internationally renowned artist Tom Otterness has been reduced to barely a simmer. City spoke again with representatives for the MAG, with protestors, and this time with Otterness himself to learn more about the sculpture park and its place in the context of the Neighborhood of the Arts, as well as the greater Rochester community.

The Centennial Sculpture Park is projected to be completed by October 2013, and will include more than 20 sculptures, new gardens, and a word-laden walkway through the museum’s campus. A year’s worth of celebrations kick off this month with the premiere of Rochester Philharmonic 22 City november 7-13, 2012

Orchestra Pops Conductor Jeff Tyzik’s original composition based on work in the MAG’s collection. Future programming will include major speakers, gala events, and unveilings and dedications of monumental works by Albert Paley and Wendell Castle.

The transformation of the gallery’s campus along University and North Goodman is already so dramatic that the final product could not have been appreciated through the renderings. A canopy of trees towers over Otterness’s massive limestone statues and the new space feels like an open park, not a place owned by a private institution. The statues’ basic forms have been criticized by members of the community for a lack of character and sophistication, called a safe choice for the gallery, and compared to various toys meant for infants. I myself had doubts about Otterness’ aesthetic choices, but since experiencing the space myself and talking with the artist, I have a new appreciation for the playfulness he’s injected into the behemoth and minute figures.

The Otterness commission, “Creation Myth,”

was installed concurrently with the ArtWalk Extension project that wrapped in early

October; that project included additional sculptural art, benches, bulletin boards, and revamped sidewalks along East Avenue, University Avenue, and North Goodman Street. “The area has become a science-art corridor,” says Grant Holcomb, director of the Memorial Art Gallery. “We feel very proud of our part in this larger art park of Neighborhood of the Arts.”

Brooklyn-based artist Otterness traveled to Rochester to oversee and participate in the installation process. I spoke with the artist in late October, when he was doing some final walkthroughs to finish up on-site detail work on the sculptures, and finalizing the locations of the little bronze sculptures that accompany the big stone statues on the corner, and which act like a breadcrumb trail to the front doors of the gallery. Tiny by comparison, the bronzes cling to or perch upon the larger limestone sculptures, acting out the process of the sculpting or helping the sculptor with hatched chisel-mark details on the stone.

The figures are made up of essential artistic forms — the cube, sphere, and cone, which are serendipitously echoed elsewhere along the now-completed ArtWalk Extension project — an aesthetic the artist adopted in 1978, when he was creating work using simplified forms inspired by Russian Constructivists and international sign imagery. Here, he puts some untraditional twists on the basic malefemale symbols, with bronzes of same-sex pairs engaged in a tender kiss (“It seemed good not to have it so heterocentric,” Otterness says) and others representing Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony penning their landmark publication, “The Revolution.”

The installation is “sort of a reverse Pygmalion story,” says Otterness. “Instead of the guy carving the gal out of stone and kissing her and she comes to life, it’s the reverse. The gal is the sculptor and she’s trying to carve the right guy. This is the quarry scene,” Otterness says, referring to the amphitheater that now stands behind the main sculptures. “She’s been back here working, she’s given up on the other two guys back here. The one’s hands are backwards, the other one’s head has fallen off. They all have problems. The guy up front has his feet stuck together, but she keeps trying.” The work alludes to both people and their creative processes as being in continually unfinished states.

For more than a year MAG has been

challenged by groups protesting the Otterness commission and MAG’s association with the artist. Their concerns stem from an art film Otterness made in 1977 in which he shot and killed a dog. Though most of the public discourse on the Centennial Sculpture Park

has focused on one controversial installation, the MAG staff doesn’t see the park as simply “an isolated commission, but a new presence, a new sense of space, a new gift to the community,” says Holcomb.

Despite protests and petitions drawn up in opposition to the Otterness commission, Holcomb says that the gallery lost no more than two dozen members. In fact, it actually gained new members who wanted to show their support, and had 25,000 more people attend gallery events in the past year than the year before, according to Holcomb.

The responses from those who wanted the MAG to rescind the Otterness commission have ranged from measured conversation to more extreme approaches.

According to Holcomb, one person contacted Holcomb’s former employers, various staff members have been threatened, there have been angry, anonymous postings to voice mails, and Otterness’s life has been threatened. Holcomb calls the matter disturbing “in the sense that positions of vengeance and revenge and anonymous threats are just not a part of the world we’re used to,” he says. “We’ve learned a lot, and I can personally say that I found the experience, if disturbing at times, enlightening overall.”

“I don’t think people’s minds will be changed overnight,” says Marjorie Searl, chief MAG curator, of the Otterness installation.

“But no matter how people feel intellectually, I think it’s only fair for them to experience the space,” she says. Then she hopes that people can determine on a personal level if there is long-term value to this community “of having a space like this [which] helps to open them up to seeing Tom and his work in a larger sense, rather than focusing on one event, as repugnant as that event is to all of us.”

Experiencing the space is not an option for

some protestors. “I won’t go down there, unless an organized protest comes to fruition,” says Dr. Michelle Brownstein, a veterinarian at Henrietta Animal Hospital. Brownstein is the originator of the Rochesterians Against Tom Otterness petition, which she says now has almost 4,000 signatures. Her feelings about the Otterness commission have not changed, though she expressed disappointment that the fire from the protestors “took such a nosedive and lost so much popularity” in the past year.

Brownstein continues to believe that Otterness’s apology for the dog incident, which he made publicly in 2008, was insufficient, and sees the installation as “a tribute to a guy that abuses animals, that has abused animals in the past,” she says.

Her long-term hope is that the sculptures are removed.

Literary Events

The MAG has pursued the possibility of some kind of tangible form of contrition being paid by Otterness, possibly to a local animaladvocacy group, but no resolution has been detailed at this point.

One unfortunate side effect of the controversy

is that a public talk and formal unveiling of the work with the artist present is basically impossible. But despite the threats, Otterness says he wasn’t personally harassed during the installation process — in fact, one passing driver shouted out a commendation of the progress made by the artist and the installation team, he says.

MAG has considered the possibility of the sculptures being vandalized, and the organization has taken the usual precautions to try to discourage it, including the use of video surveillance. Artist, MAG member, and NOTA resident of 22 years Paulette Davis doesn’t think it’s likely that the installation will be defaced, but says that if that happens, it would be a selfish act.

“Don’t penalize the rest of us as city dwellers,” she says. Davis says she has already witnessed positive interactions between neighborhood residents and the “playful, engaging” new sculptures, which she believes invite a wider audience from the community on to MAG’s campus. Davis sees the protests as “almost a class issue,” and says that protestors shouldn’t discount the opinions of the people who welcome the installation.

A Creative Workshop instructor for years, and a professed animal lover, Davis considers Otterness’s controversial past action to be abhorrent. But, she says, “in general, I don’t feel people should be held to one act of cruelty or even extreme stupidity” if the person has apologized and hasn’t repeated it.

“Life is dynamic and life does not stay fixed in the past,” says MAG curator Searl. “We don’t bring to any other work of art the life history, typically, of the artist who created it, and if we did, we would certainly have a hard time with some of the works of art that are most valued in our culture.”

“If we are consistent in the way we appreciate art,” Searl says, “over time, people are going to have to decide if the art has value standing on its own.”

Progress on the Centennial Sculpture Park will continue with the completion of Jackie Ferrara’s “The Rochester Project” as the year ends, followed by installations of Paley’s and Castle’s sculptures in the summer of 2013.

As unusual as the schedule of this club’s activities may seem, the run portion of meetings are not customary either.

A Hash run includes a running trail unknown to members that is marked in advance, usually by flour, chalk, or even toilet paper, by one member of the group dubbed the “hare.”

Members run through the woods, searching for trail markings, then conduct “down-downs” time afterward by sipping a cold beer. Once participants have attended several runs, they are designated a “hash name,” which typically has an embarrassing or filthy connotation.

If this sounds like your kind of exercise, check out what The Hash is all about on Sundays throughout the winter. Runs begin at 2:09 p.m. and average three miles. Anyone over 21 is welcome, and visitors to H3’s website are assured that there are plenty of opportunities for walking breaks if you need a breather.

For more information about this week’s run, call 234-1708 or visit rochesterhhh.com/2.html. — BY LILLIAN DICKERSON

For many of us, exercise can require some — or, let’s be honest, a great deal — of motivation. Flour City Hash House Harriers, also known as “HHH,” “H3,” or “The Hash,” seems to have the motivation factor down to a science. The local branch of this worldwide club describes itself as “a drinking club with a running problem.” Originally started in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 1938 as a running club comprised of British colonial officials and expatriates, HHH conducts group runs through local parks and wooded areas that culminate in a post-run celebration at a local pub or drinking venue.

SPECIAL EVENT | Anniversary of Canandaigua Treaty

Two-hundred and 18 years ago Colonel Timothy Pickering made history when he signed a peace treaty between the United States and the Six Nations Confederacy that established the Native American tribes’ sovereignty. To commemorate this day, on Sunday, November 11, members of the Six Nations will gather on the front lawn of the Ontario County courthouse for the annual re-dedication of the treaty. Events will begin at 1:30 p.m. with a parade from Canandaigua Primary School (96 W. Gibson St.) to Ontario County courthouse (27 N. Main St.).

Along with the re-dedication, there will be a potluck dinner and a presentation by keynote speaker Jamie Jacobs, a cultural spokesperson from the Turtle Clan with extensive knowledge of the Haudenosaunee. Events are free and open to the public.

For more information, call 742-1690 or visit ganondagan. org/TreatyCelebration.html.

If the Haudenosaunee, or Iroquois, community is something of particular interest to you, be sure to learn more about the culture at Haudenosaunee Day at the Rochester Museum & Science Center. On Saturday, November 10, noon-4 p.m. local Haudenosaunee artists will display traditional jewelry making and basket making, storytellers will tell folktales, RMSC educators will give tours of the museum’s world-renowned collection, and a local Seneca artist will conduct free classes on how to make cornhusk dolls. Cornhusk doll classes divided by age groups will begin at 10:30 a.m. and end at 3:15 p.m. To register, call 697-1942 ahead or the day of the class (provided there’s space).

[ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“Flight” (R), directed by Robert Zemeckis Now playing

In most of his movies Robert Zemeckis displays both a penchant for unusual special effects and an instinct for an easy emotional appeal.

In “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” for example, he combined live action with animation; in “Forrest Gump” he integrated archival newsreel footage with his fiction; and in “Polar Express” he employed that trendy contemporary gimmick, motion capture. All of those movies earned a great deal of money, and “Forrest

Gump,” God help us, achieved something like a Biblical status, providing a compendium of sentimental platitudes that comforted middlebrow audiences and inspired preachers and commencement speakers.

Although a good deal tougher and certainly more adult in its approach, for the most part his new picture, “Flight,” reflects his continuing interest in emotionally charged situations, moral dilemmas, and a perhaps too glib resolution to all its problems. At the same time the film displays a commendable attention to specific detail, to the actual procedures of its subject, and features a terrific cast of actors.

Perhaps recalling the remarkable feat of Captain Chesley Sullenberger in landing an airliner in the Hudson River a couple of years ago, the movie revolves around a similar event, an attempt to control and land an airplane that has lost all its mechanical functions, including both its engines.

almost impossible task, but paradoxically finds himself on the verge of criminal charges that might send him to prison for the rest of his life.

The picture opens with Whitaker awakening after a night of colossal dissipation in the company of one of the flight attendants who serves on his airplane. Despite nursing a major hangover that he treats with aspirin, coffee, cocaine, and vodka, Whip brilliantly pilots his flight from Orlando to Atlanta through a tremendous thunderstorm that bounces passengers and crew all over the craft, terrifying everyone aboard; once he conquers that challenge and reassures the passengers, he downs a triple screwdriver and promptly falls asleep.

In the middle of his nap, his copilot wakes him to report a sudden loss of altitude; although the two of them battle the recalcitrant aircraft and try every trick in the book, one mechanical failure after another cripples the plane, robbing it of power and control. Heading for certain disaster, Whip accomplishes the seemingly impossible maneuver of rolling the craft over to level off the dive, then flips it again, making a successful crash landing but also losing five lives, including his bedmate of the previous night.

In the hospital where he recovers, Whip learns that he is now a media sensation, a hero pilot who saved a hundred lives in a miraculous achievement; he also discovers that since toxicology tests revealed an extremely high level of alcohol in his blood, he may be charged with five counts of manslaughter.

The game of life [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

“Wreck-It Ralph” (PG), directed by Rich Moore Now playing

“The Imposter” (NR), directed by Bart Layton Screens Saturday at the Dryden

After that revelation, the picture settles into the legal procedures on the part of his union and its lawyer, Hugh Lang (Don Cheadle) and a lengthy study of Whip’s alcoholism.

Most of “Flight” in fact deals with addiction and its causes and consequences, partly through Whip’s relationship with Nicole (Kelly Reilly), a beautiful heroin addict who brings him to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and apparently manages to kick her own habit. It shows how his drinking has ruined his marriage, his relationship with his son, and threatens his career. It also includes an odd religious component, with a cancer patient in the hospital explaining an ironic theology of his disease, and his now crippled copilot affirming his belief that God intended him to be injured for a reason: neither man provides much comfort to Whip or the audience.

The only special effects Zemeckis employs involve the interior of the airplane during the frightening storm and the even more frightening landing, an absolutely convincing sequence that should shake the confidence of the most intrepid traveler. Everything else in the picture, from the government’s investigation and the subsequent hearing to the resolute underplaying of the fine cast, especially Washington and Cheadle, matches that authenticity. The one actor not in any way constructed for underplaying, John Goodman delivers a bravura performance as Whip’s best friend, and he’s as good as everything else in “Flight.”.

By now, at least one generation of children will have grown up in a world where characters like Pac-Man, Mario, and Sonic the Hedgehog are just as iconic and beloved as Mickey Mouse was to their parents and grandparents. So in a way it’s rather fitting that Disney is the studio to bring a film about the secret lives of video-game characters to the big screen.

Thankfully, they’ve done it with enough heart and wit to please both children and hardcore gamers alike.

Like “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” and the “Toy Story” trilogy, which pulled back the curtain on cartoon characters and childhood playthings respectively, the computer-animated “Wreck-It Ralph” explores what life is like for the inhabitants of these games. It turns out that these characters have hopes and dreams just like anyone else, completely apart from what they’re told to do by a joystick.

For the title character, Ralph (voiced

decision), the destruction-prone heavy of the “Donkey Kong”-like game, that means longing for acceptance from his fellow game-dwellers, who treat Ralph like a villain even after the game is over.

His job is to destroy buildings while Felix, the game’s hero, attempts to repair the damage. As a result, Ralph leads a lonely life and, after 30 years of playing the bad guy and being hated for it, wants his chance to be the hero.

After crashing a 30th anniversary party being held in Felix’s honor, Ralph decides that if he somehow had a medal like the one Felix is awarded at the end of their game, he could be a hero, too.

This leads Ralph to start “game jumping” in an attempt to visit other games, hoping to find someplace where he can at long last be the good guy.

After his first attempt, in a first-person shooter game called “Hero’s Duty,” nearly gets him killed, Ralph escapes into a racing game called “Sugar Rush” (think “Mario Kart” set in Candyland). There he meets Vanellope von Schweetz (voiced by Sarah Silverman, perfectly straddling the line between loveable and obnoxious), an adorable little moppet with an unfortunate glitch in her code that makes her a potential danger to the other racers in her game, and thus banned from ever being allowed to compete.

Striking up a friendship, the two find that they are kindred spirits, each outcasts with a desire for love and acceptance from a world that adamantly refuses to allow them a chance to do what would truly make them happy.

Together, they just might have a chance to change their destinies.

While the initial draw of “Wreck-It Ralph” is the chance to see dozens of classic video-game characters brought to life and sharing the same screen (getting the rights to all those characters, from Q*bert to a bunch of the “Street Fighter” cast, must have been a daunting

task), the heartfelt story and gorgeous animation make it a joy to watch.

There are problems in the film’s occasionally inconsistent tone, and it sometimes leans a bit too heavily on puns, references, and throwaway gags rather than allowing the humor to come from the characters. (That makes sense considering director Rich Moore got his start on such gag-a-minute animated TV series as “The Simpsons” and “Futurama.”) A plot point involving Ralph accidentally allowing one of the enemies from “Hero’s Duty” into “Sugar Rush” isn’t completely necessary, and is clearly just an excuse for the animators to create a more eye-poppingly epic climatic battle sequence. But these are all minor complaints in a movie as inventive and just plain fun as this one.

In 1994, 13-year-old Nicholas Barclay

disappeared without a trace while out playing basketball in his hometown of San Antonio, Texas. More than three years passed — just long enough for Nicholas’ family to abandon all hope of ever finding him alive — and then, in October of 1997, they received a phone call from the authorities in Linares, Spain, informing them that a young man claiming to be Nicholas had been found.

The boy’s family accepted his reappearance as a miracle, ignoring the fact that the man claiming to be Nicholas had a French accent, was clearly in his 20s, and had different colored eyes and hair than the missing child. It’s not spoiling anything to say that the man was not, in fact, Nicholas Barclay. So why would this man impersonate a missing child?

More importantly, why would that child’s family so readily accept his claims? Those questions form the basis for the gripping documentary “The Imposter.” Through reenactments and interviews, director Bart Layton examines this most unusual case in a confidently told tale that’s ultimately about the elusive nature of truth itself.

The twisting, turning tale begins with the disappearance of Nicholas Barclay, a 13-year-old Texas boy. Three and a half years later, the boy has been found in Spain, saying he survived a mind-boggling ordeal of kidnap and torture. His family is ecstatic to have him back, but ... how could the Barclays’ blond, blue-eyed son have returned with darker skin and eyes? How could his personality and accent have changed so profoundly? Why does the family not seem to notice? And if this person isn’t the missing child ... who is he, and what really happened to Nicholas? (Bart Layton, UK 2012, 99 min., Digital Presentation)

details. An attractive neighborhood with walkable local amenities and easy access to major thoroughfares. With these qualities, the property at 327 Rocket Street in the Homestead Heights neighborhood will be hard to pass up.

sized, functional eat-in kitchen that leads to the basement and a side entrance.

Most of the homes along Rocket St. represent a transition from the expansive porches and generous layouts of the earlier American Foursquares (proliferating on nearby cross streets) to a more compact home with a small stoop or no porch at all. 327 Rocket St., however, stands out with a classically inspired front stoop and a generous columned porch.

Framed by low hedges and tucked to the side of the main entrance, the porch offers a perfect, secluded getaway in which to enjoy an evening drink or bask in a warm summer day.

Stepping through the front door and the entrance vestibule (complete with a tiled floor, coat closet, a leaded glass window, and a leaded glass door), and into the living room, you will feel immediately at home in this comfortable and finely detailed home. The living room runs the width of the house and features a brick fireplace with a huge wooden mantle, built-in cabinets with leaded glass doors, small leaded glass windows, and a picture window that looks onto the front porch.

Wood floors with a subtle inlay continue into the formal dining room. Wood doors with glass

The second floor has three bedrooms and a full bath. At the top of the stairs, an archway leads down a cozy hall with built-in linen cabinets to the full bath. This lovely little room is as charming as can be, with a tiled floor, a pedestal sink, a Moorish arch over the shower, and an archway that opens to a fabulous little alcove—with an arched window overlooking the front yard—that provides extra storage space.

The master bedroom is another charmer with plenty of natural light provided by three windows, including a cozy window seat. His and hers closets flank the window seat. The other two bedrooms are a modest size with small closets. The unfinished attic offers ample storage space or flexible room to expand.

Outside there is a detached single car garage and a small, low maintenance backyard.

With 1,360 square feet, the charming and comfortable home at 327 Rocket St. is listed at $81,000. Visit rochestercityliving.com/property/ R194011 or see it in person at an open house on Sunday, November 11. Contact Deborah Renna-Hynes with Keller Williams Realty for more information, 585-899-0805.
