Tim Mains was still new to teaching when he came out of the closet at a time, the 1970’s, when doing so posed risks to employment in many careers. The experience was gut-wrenching, he says, due to the relentless name-calling — gay slurs hurled at him almost daily for the better part of a school year. But he says he learned that being out and visible can be a catalyst for changing attitudes. In 1985, Mains became the first openly gay man in New York State to win election to public office.

He served on City Council for 20 years. Educator, politician, and role model for Rochester’s LGBT community, Mains leaves Rochester shortly to start his new job as superintendent of the Jamestown school system. In a recent interview, Mains talked about the challenges for city schools, his support of Superintendent Bolgen Vargas’s expanded learning efforts, and his experiences as a gay rights activist.

Facing the artI take umbrage at Dr. Wilson’s diagnoses of our response as “acute inflammation followed by quiescence” (“Worlds Collide on Walls: Wall/Therapy”). Although I am no physician, I would be inclined to call the current status as “chronic indignation.” We understand that continued public comment is useless since the works are generally on private walls over which the city claims to have no authority, and some in the art community seem to think this is a very fine addition to our city. I am hardly alone in my complaints about “Resting Bears.” I hear the subject raised by many others whenever the subject of art in Rochester comes up among our friends and acquaintances. The usual comment I get is “I drove by to see the ‘Rats,’ and I really think they are awful.” This usually results in a further outbreak of “inflammation” which eventually subsides once again into chronic indignation. Once again I suggest that having a painting thrust into your home with no opportunity to chose is far different from choosing the art for yourself regardless of the subject matter. My wife and I have spent over 49 years choosing the artwork that adorns our walls. “Resting Bears” is hardly something we would have chosen, yet it is what we rise to every morning and it is in our face whenever we look to the north from our apartment window. The residents in the neighborhood who gather in the World Wide News parking lot to escape their un-air-conditioned apartments across the street also have no great love of the painting.

We should move away from landfillsWhile I applaud Monroe County’s efforts at recycling, I do not believe that a landfill, any landfill, is an “environmentally sound” way to dispose of waste (“Trash Talk”). The Zero Waste committee of the Rochester Sierra Club has hosted a park cleanup in the county’s yearly “PickUpTheParks” program for four years. Our group and many other groups and residents cheered the long-awaited decision by Monroe County to recycle Number 3 and Number 7 plastics. Monroe County’s eco-park, a residential drop-off point for recyclables and hazardous waste, is an incredible service that all residents should use. Everyone can dispose of paints and old gasoline and other environmentally hazardous stuff. However, according to an eco-park representative, only 1 percent of the public is availing themselves of this critical service. That is unacceptable, and one has to wonder where the other 99 percent are dumping their hazardous waste. Landfills as a waste option are becoming suspect. Yes, they’ve come a long way from the toxic garbage dumps of the past. And of course Monroe County does need to provide the public with a waste removal system. They do not have the luxury of eliminating landfilling as a waste option at present, so landfills may well be a necessary evil at this point. But landfills are never “environmentally sound,” and we should be moving away from them as quickly as possible. When we try to solve our energy and waste problems by capturing and then burning the methane gases that naturally accompany landfills, the public gets the false impression that this solves either problem. What it does is perpetuate landfills as a basic component of waste management, thus sweeping our waste, energy, and resource problems under the rug. It is a better idea to get rid of the idea of landfills and instead find ways to recycle those things

we toss into them. Recycling our waste – organic, furniture, plastics, aluminum, etc.– would provide a wealth of resources for businesses instead of having to further deplete our natural resources. I am in total agreement with Mr. Garland’s statement about updating plans on landfills, which includes: “develop public education programs about proper disposal, recycling, or reuse of different wastes.” Not only should there be widespread education about proper waste disposal, I believe our local media should step up to the plate and provide this educational component free of charge, as it is in the public interest.FRANK J. REGAN

“Mill Seat currently captures about 70 percent of the landfill gas and burns it in generators to produce electricity, which cuts down on the landfill’s methane emissions.” Burning the methane emits CO2, thereby contributing to climate change. It is better to burn it for energy than not, but far better to not be creating the methane in the first place. There are far better destinations for our organic waste than a landfill. Sadly, the county sees it as a “win” since the big picture as usual eludes them.SANITY MONGER

Spelling lessonI can’t decide which would be worse – that someone representing the Landmark Society would misspell the last name of the designer of Seneca Park, or that Rochester City Paper would make the error (HomeWork, July 10). For future reference, please remember that the noted landscape architect and designer was Frederick Law Olmsted, not Olmstead. Even my e-mail program’s spell-checker knows the difference!RUTH E. THALER-CARTER

The Landmark Society, which produces the HomeWork content, responds: Our HomeWork column reader is correct regarding the spelling of noted landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, designer of Rochester’s park system. This is a common mistake that Landmark Society staff frequently correct in others’ work. This time we made the mistake ourselves! Thanks for staying on top of us!

For years, I resisted the charter-school bandwagon, based on evidence that students didn’t do any better in them than in traditional schools. But I can’t oppose them any longer. For one thing, they offer a tuition-free alternative to the schools operated by the school district. The city’s health is tenuous, and one of the biggest risks to its future is the school district. Concern about the district is a big reason families choose to live in the suburbs rather than the city. Alternatives to traditional city schools – including several select district-operated schools like School of the Arts – have kept some parents from leaving. Charters can do that as well, and I think some are. Still, if their students didn’t perform better than those in traditional public schools, I’d find it hard to support charter schools. But there is growing evidence that students in well-run charters do perform better. One of the reasons, unquestionably, is parent motivation. While charter students are usually chosen by lottery, they don’t necessarily represent the average population of their district. Parents of students applying to a charter are likely to be more engaged in their children’s education than parents of the other children. In addition, charter schools tend to have fewer students with disabilities and students for whom English is not the primary language. In many of them, however, most of the students are black and Hispanic and poor. And in well-run charters, some studies indicate that those students are getting a better education than they would if they stayed in regular public schools. In a report prepared for the Farash Foundation, the Center for Governmental Research cites a study of New York City’s charter schools by Harvard University professor Caroline Hoxby. The study looked at the performance of students who were chosen by lottery for the charters; students who took part in the lottery but weren’t chosen and so were going to

traditional public schools; and students who didn’t take part in the lottery. Hoxby had two key conclusions, the CGR study says: 1) The students enrolled in the charter schools “did much better” than the students who didn’t win the lottery. 2) The students who entered the lottery but didn’t win a place in a charter school did better than the regular-school students who didn’t enter the lottery. “That tells us,” says the CGR report, “that parental motivation really matters, just as we’d expect.” It also indicates that the charters themselves had an effect. CGR also cites studies by Stanford researcher Margaret Raymond. In a widely quoted 2009 nationwide assessment, Raymond found that children in the average charter school didn’t do better than those in the average regular public school. But in that study and in more recent ones, Raymond and her Center for Research on Education Outcomes have found that in states where charter schools have strong oversight and are held accountable for their performance, charters outperform the non-charter public schools. New York is one of the states where charters are held accountable and non-performing charters are closed. Raymond and the center have also found that two charter companies with

Changing my mindabout charter schools

Right now, 10 charter schools are operating in the City of Rochester. Soon, you can expect to see more. The Farash Foundation plans to award up to $1 million in grants to spur charter growth in the region.

While the grants will be available to selected charter schools in Monroe and Ontario Counties, nearly all of the new ones will probably be in the city. That’s the case with charter growth throughout the country, because urban districts are where most of the most poorly preforming students are.

HEALTH CARE | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Few medical conditions have as complicated and far-reaching of an impact on the economy and health care coverage as pain. The Mayo Clinic reports that the cost of pain on employee productivity is more than $47 billion annually. But the treatment of pain is extremely controversial. Opioids — medications like Vicodin, OxyContin, and Percocet — can play an important role in reducing pain and promoting recuperation. But concerns about narcotic abuse in the US, also a serious health problem, cause many physicians to be reluctant to prescribe these

drugs. And some people are more likely than others to be denied. A new study by the University of Rochester Medical Center shows that socioeconomic status influences who gets powerful painkillers. Affluent whites are much more likely to be prescribed opioids than poor African Americans and Hispanics, the study shows. While it’s been known for some time that racial and ethnic disparities play a role in who receives opioids, the URMC team found that income and education also influence the prescription of the medications. URMC researchers examined data collected from 2006 to

2009 of 50,000 visits to about 1,400 emergency departments. Patients from the most affluent neighborhoods were more likely to receive prescriptions for opioids, while patients from the poorest were least likely to receive the drugs. The researchers don’t say why the disparity occurs, but other research suggests that there are multiple factors, including language barriers, poor general health care and coverage, and political influence. A Michigan study showed that pharmacies located in minority neighborhoods are less likely to adequately stock the drugs.

Two developers are interested in reinventing a couple of important Rochester landmarks — although one project is further along than the other. The former Corpus Christi School and the former Eastman Dental Dispensary are both on East Main Street in southwest Rochester. Both are vacant, and the dental dispensary was recently named to the Landmark Society’s “Five to Revive” list of priority sites for revitalization. Current plans are to turn the school into a 42-unit housing project for musicians and artists. But Carol Wheeler, the City of Rochester’s housing manager, cautions that the proposal is still in the early stages and plans could change. The musicians-artists theme would mesh well with that area of East Main, Wheeler says, which also has the armory, Auditorium Theatre, Blackfriars, and is not far from the Art Walk project. “It just goes so well,” Wheeler says. “And that’s what we’re attempting to do in everything — to build on the assets that we have, as opposed to trying to create something that’s kind of an island.” The $9 million project has already received state funding. And Wheeler says that ideally, work on the site should begin before the end of the year.

Wheeler says that the dental dispensary could possibly be turned into a mixed-income, live-work space. “We are negotiating — seeing exactly what would be the best use for that building,” she says. “It’s a great building, but it has a lot of challenges, as well.” The projects are part of a system where the City of Rochester seeks out proposals for rental projects that will eventually go to the state for possible funding. City officials evaluate and score the proposals, and determine what level of assistance they can give each project. Officials say the process helps find the best projects, and increases those projects’ chances of getting state money. “Development is not simple,” Wheeler says. “There’s a lot of competition when it comes to applying for city and state funds, so you want those projects that are as close to being ready as possible.”

Design redoMorgan Management has submitted a revised plan for a proposed apartment development at 933 University Avenue. | The proposal has faced opposition from some neighborhood groups over its size and density. Eastman House officials oppose the project, too, as they had hoped to acquire the land. | Morgan Management has revised its plans several times in response to neighborhood concerns. The last iteration lowered the number of apartments to 102 and increased the number of parking spaces to 164. It also dramatically changed the exterior. | The new plan would retain but restore the Monroe Voiture clubhouse currently located on the site. It also drops the proposed number of apartment units from 102 to 99. The design and placement of the building remain unchanged. | The city’s Preservation Board will take up the proposal on August 7, and based on that meeting, will make a recommendation to the Planning Commission about the impact of the project on the character of the neighborhood. The earliest the Planning Commission will review and vote on the proposal is in September. The application then goes back to the Preservation Board for a vote.

schools in several areas of the country are doing exceptionally well: KIPP and Uncommon Schools. Three of Rochester’s charter schools are operated by Uncommon Schools, and a fourth is planned. The CGR report is careful to say that charter schools “are not a panacea.” And Hunter College public policy professor Joe Viteritti echoes that. “But,” he said in an interview last week, “there are signs that when run well, they do better.” The reason, Viteritti said, is the accountability – closing what isn’t working.

For the problems in urban education itself there is no panacea, because there is no one cause. There are many: the poverty of the children and their families, which too often results in mental, physical, and behavioral problems; the education level and parenting skills of many parents, which results in too many children entering school with poor language and social skills; the quality of some of the teachers and administrators; the quality of teacher education; the bureaucracy of large school districts; the dispersion of power, and the sometimes conflicting interests, of the adults responsible for children’s education. But we have tried for years to improve urban education, and we have made little – maybe no – progress. And now we have a growing number of charter schools, many having to choose their students through a lottery because so many want in. If charters were a false hope, if students are no better off there than in a traditional public school, it would be different. But the evidence seems to indicate otherwise. And if that’s because their parents are better motivated? “So what?” said Viteritti. “There’s something wrong with letting motivated parents make that choice?”

I do worry about the financial impact on the school district. For public school districts, including Rochester’s, charters carry a real cost. Most charter students come from district-operated schools, taking per-pupil government funding with them. And while the district has fewer students to educate, it can’t reduce its costs proportionally. The charter students don’t all come from one classroom or one school. Reducing the size of several dozen classes by two or three students doesn’t let the district reduce the size of its staff or close schools. At some point there’ll be real savings, but that won’t be overnight. Meantime, the district may have to raise class sizes and reduce services – services that help the remaining children. It may have to limit pay and benefits for teachers and administrators, making it a less attractive place to teach.

Shouldn’t we be concerned about that? “To me, it’s the wrong question,” Viteritti said. “To me, the question is ‘what’s going to help the kids?’” Rochester has tried everything imaginable to turn things around. And the majority of the children in the school district either fail to graduate or graduate woefully unprepared for a productive life. I’m still convinced that we won’t solve the problems facing urban education until we focus enormous efforts on children in the city’s poorest neighborhoods from birth on. Too many of them enter school unprepared, in language skills and in social skills. And we can’t expect teachers to make up for that. I’m not giving up on the district. I know that teachers in Rochester’s traditional public schools will keep trying to do the best they can for their students. And significantly, the Farash Foundation isn’t focusing solely on charter schools. It plans to finance some Rochester school district initiatives. “We are working very closely with Superintendent Vargas and his staff,” said the foundation’s director of grants and programs, Isobel Goldman, “to identify projects” for the foundation to support. And the foundation will likely be announcing some of those soon, she said. “There isn’t anything we should not do for the students in the traditional public schools,” says Kent Gardner, who co-wrote the CGR report for the Farash Foundation. But, he adds, we can’t say that we’re not going to allow new initiatives that work. As the CGR study says, charter schools are not a panacea. But the best of them seem to offer opportunity to many children. If wealthier parents aren’t satisfied with the education their children are getting in a school, they send their children somewhere else. They move to a different school district or pay for private school tuition. Charter schools offer a tuition-free alternative to poor families. I don’t know how we justify denying that choice to those families.

CITY 7rochestercitynewspaper.com

The company is not eliminating the channels. Rather, on July 23, Tim Warner will stop transmitting the channels as an analog signal and will begin transmitting them digitally — a change it’s implementing across the state and New England. As a result, some subscribers will have to take extra steps to continue receiving their cable access stations. But directors of local cable access channels are concerned. They say the quick changeover could create confusion or give people the impression the channels have been switched off. “How’s it impact us? It’s kind of a nightmare,” says David Renner, television coordinator for Penfield. In Monroe County, the active stations are concentrated in the east-side communities and the City of Rochester. While state law says cable providers have to make the access channels available, communities don’t have to use them. How the transition impacts different households will depend on the cable package the households subscribe to and whether they have a set-top box. It also depends on whether a subscriber’s television is a digital or analog set. Here are the three scenarios: •SubscriberswithTimeWarner-issued set-top boxes and DVR’s will see no change and the stations will remain at channels 4, 12, and 15. They don’t have to do anything to keep the channels. •Subscriberswhohaveadigitaltelevision and plug their cables directly into the TV will have to rescan the stations. On these televisions, the community access channels will move to 98.3, 98.4, and 98.5. •Subscriberswithanalogtelevisionswho plug the cable directly into their sets will need a converter box from Time Warner. The company is distributing the boxes free on a first-come-first-served basis, and subscribers can get them online, at the company’s

service centers, or by calling (855) 286-1736. Beginning in 2015, the company will charge 99 cents per month to use the converters.

Time Warner spokesperson Joli Plucknette-Farmen plays down the potential for complications from the switch. The company gave its subscribers 30 days’ notice, she says, and has developed a website — twc.com/digitaladapter — to explain what’s happening and what customers need to do to keep the access channels. “It should be relatively seamless,” she says. And about 75 percent of the company’s cable TV customers in the area won’t be affected because they subscribe to digital packages, Plucknette-Farmen says. She says the company doesn’t know how many subscribers have analog televisions without a set-top tuner. The community access channel transition is part of Time Warner’s broader switch to digital, Plucknette-Farmen says. In an online FAQ, the company touts digital channels’ better picture and sound quality. Plucknette-Farmen says subscribers should see some improvement in cable access channels’ picture quality after the switch, particularly a reduction in “snow.” Digital channels are more efficient than analog in terms of capacity, she says. Cable is a lot like a pipe, which means a limited amount can be forced through at any given time. One analog channel takes up as much cable capacity as three high-definition digital channels, Plucknette-Farmen says, or 14 standard-definition digital channels. The company says that capacity freed up through the conversion can be used to provide higher-speed Internet or more on-demand programming. Penfield Community Television’s Renner says that, in the long term, the changes could provide opportunities for the station to improve the video

and audio quality of its broadcasts. He says that after the transition, he wants to find out whether the station could eventually broadcast in a widescreen format and whether it could use stereo sound, among other issues. Renner says he’s also interested in knowing whether Time Warner will make the cable access channels or their programming available through the company’s mobile apps.

For now, however, the stations operators say they’re worried about the impact of the transition. The channels fill an important niche. They provide residents with information, events coverage, and locally-oriented programming not available anywhere else. In Penfield, channel 12 broadcasts all town meetings. Supervisor Tony LaFountain says that residents often catch the meetings, or parts of them, on the channel and ask him about them later. He says that town officials have tried to operate Penfield’s government as openly as possible. And Time Warner’s plan to move the channels, without allowing time for significant public awareness campaigns, may undermine some of those efforts, he says. LaFountain says he’s disappointed by Time Warner’s approach to the switch. The company should help town officials inform residents about the change, he says. The 28 volunteers at East Rochester Community Television produce about 250 programs a year, all unique to the village, says station director John

Schroth. The lineup includes cooking shows, local history programs, and government meetings. Each year, the station also records the Sing-Out musical revue, which is performed at East Rochester High School, but features students from across the county. Time Warner had cautioned local community access channels about the pending shift, Schroth says, but the company never said when it would happen. He says he would have preferred a few months’ notice instead of the few weeks the East Rochester Community Television received. Schroth says he’s especially worried about East Rochester’s older, fixed-income residents who are the subscribers most likely to have analog television sets. He says he suspects that those residents are most likely subscribing to basic cable and not using a set-top box. They could unwittingly lose access to valuable information, he says. Carvin Eison, station manager for Rochester’s RCTV-15, echoes Schroth’s concerns. And he says that older residents may not be comfortable with hooking up the converter. “Community access is just that,” Schroth says. “It is programming that the community should easily have access to, and this has made it tougher for the community to have access.”

Changing channelsTime Warner Cable is not taking away PBS. Earlier this month, the cable company informed its Western

New York subscribers via a letter that it’s changing how it carries public, educational, and government access television stations. These aren’t public stations in the PBS sense, even though some subscribers clearly believe they are. They’re better known as the local cable access channels 4, 12, and 15.

TIM MAINS I WAS THE GAY TEACHER

Tim Mains was still new to teaching in the early 1970’s when he walked into his class in the Greece school district one day to find the word “faggot” written on the blackboard. That and a series of other events led him to come out of the closet to his students and peers at a time when, as he put it, “gay and teacher didn’t belong in the same sentence.” The experience was gut-wrenching, Mains said in a recent interview, due to the relentless name-calling — including gay slurs — flung at him almost daily for the better part of a school year. But it was also a turning point. Mains said he learned that although it isn’t easy and doesn’t happen quickly, being out and visible can be a catalyst for changing attitudes. Within days, Mains leaves Rochester to start his new job as superintendent of the Jamestown school system. But he leaves behind a long history of public service in education and local politics. In 1985, Mains was the first openly gay man in New York State to be elected to public office. He served on City Council for 20 years. Mains has been both a teacher and an administrator, working in the Greece school system and the Rochester City School District. He is the former principal of School 50, and eventually became director of internal school operations at the RCSD. He made an unsuccessful run for Rochester mayor, and he was considered as a possible successor to former superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard. Between his work for City Council and his knowledge of city schools, Mains gained an unusual vantage point of both entities. In a recent interview, he said that many of the challenges facing city schools involve a breakdown and misalignment of organizational systems — everything from attendance record-keeping to instruction and assessment. Those problems are exacerbated by the mandatory implementation of the new, more rigorous

Common Core curriculum, Mains said, and by the state’s new teacher and principal evaluations. But Mains said he firmly believes that the district is on the right track. And he said that the shift toward extended learning under the supervision of Superintendent Bolgen Vargas is critically important for city students. In our interview, Mains also discussed being a role model for the LGBT community, how local zoning laws are at the root of both the city’s and the school district’s problems with poverty, the teachers union, and how charter schools are impacting the city school district. The following is an edited version of that discussion.

CITY: How do you explain the city school district’s low graduation rate and student underachievement? What is blocking improvement?Mains: One of the huge problems is that systems are horribly aligned, if they’re aligned at all. Instructional, delivery, assessment, and attendance systems — they’re not in sync. What happens in schools today needs to occur within a system. Gone is the day when teachers walk into their classroom, shut the door, and do whatever they want to do. For example, if we both teach fourth grade, but we don’t teach the same thing, then when the fifth-grade teacher gets our kids, the students are not going to be at the same place in math. In the time that I’ve been with the city school district, we have aligned and realigned the instructional curriculum several times. We’re doing it again now, trying to align with the Common Core curriculum. So what you have are people always running to catch up, but they never get ahead of the game. My second year as a principal [at School 50], I got 90 percent of my fourth graders passing the

math test. We were busting our butts. Back then, the only students who had to take the tests were in fourth grade and eighth grade. The very next year, the state instituted grades 3 to 8 testing, and when they did that, test scores across the state crumbled. And when the test scores crumbled, so did teacher morale. It took me five years of steady gains to move the scores back up to the point of getting 68 percent to 69 percent passing the English language arts tests and 72 percent passing math. And just at the point where we were getting to something acceptable, the state changed the scoring process again. Trying to motivate the instructional staff and help them believe that they really do make a difference was difficult. I would say, “You’re really doing what you need to be doing.” And teachers would tell me, “But the test says I’m not.” Morale is a tremendously important thing. The research is clear about this: the single most important thing that makes an effective student is an effective teacher. But teachers, because of the current way that we rate them, sometimes don’t feel effective even when they’re having an impact. The second problem: because we have all of these failed systems that are not in alignment with one another, what people have learned is to do what they want to do, and fight for what they think they deserve, regardless of what anyone else is doing. One of the crazy things about the culture in the city school district is an attitude of “I’m going to do this anyway.” The third thing is not inherent to Rochester; it’s a problem in districts across the country. In a standards based system, we can’t be satisfied to say, “I taught them, but they just didn’t learn it.” That’s equivalent to a doctor saying, “I operated, but the patient died anyway.”

The standards for kids and what they are supposed to know is much higher, and so is the standard for teachers. I can’t evaluate a teacher on what he or she presented. I have to evaluate on how effective they were in getting their students to learn. This problem is made more complicated by the first two things I talked about. The fourth thing is the population of children who come into our schools. We have one of the highest child poverty rates, and we certainly have the highest in the state’s Big Five school districts. We know that kids who come from deep poverty, their brains don’t develop the same way as the brains of children who live in suburban environments. Kids come to us with the equivalent of post-traumatic stress disorder. They’ve been subjected to so many stressors in their lives that it literally slows development. When I was running for mayor I used to talk to people about when I worked in the Greece school system. A child entering kindergarten class there had a working vocabulary of about 3,000 words. The average child coming into my classroom at School 50 had a vocabulary of about 300 words. An amazing number of kids who come into our system have one parent incarcerated. They’ve witnessed violence in their home. They’ve had an immediate family member murdered or killed, and they’re aware of this loss even before they enter pre K. That’s the bad news. The good news is we can compensate for that, but we have to start early and we have to spend more time with them. What Superintendent Vargas is talking about right now in terms of extended time for learning is critical.

Are RCSD teachers well-supported by their principals, central office, and through professional development? Many say no one

is listening to them even though they’re the professionals working with children.I certainly think they’re supported through professional development. I tried to make sure that my staff had what they needed. I don’t know that I was always able to meet all of their needs. I can tell you that teachers right now feel beleaguered, attacked, and defensive. The morale is very low. Teaching is part art and part science. Other professionals requiring higher degrees — doctors, lawyers, architects, dentists, accountants — see their clients one at a time. You don’t go to your dentist’s office and have him come out and say, “The next 37 people who need crowns come into my office.” Teachers work in a very complex environment with multiple clients simultaneously, and they’re making a thousand split-second decisions about what they need to do to move kids forward.

Some critics of the RCSD say that the Rochester Teachers Association shares the blame for the district’s poor performance because ineffective teachers are protected and misconduct is tolerated. Is that fair?I don’t blame the unions. The unions guarantee that due process is being followed. I feel the responsibility for patrolling the system to make sure that only excellent people get in falls on administrators. And if a bad apple does get hired, it’s their responsibility to correct their mistake and get them out. It’s not fun. It’s not pleasant. And it’s the hardest part of my job. There are people who I thought were not effective and I talked to them about that. I’ve said, “You know, if it’s just not clicking for you, maybe it’s time to think about retiring.” You’ve got to throw the red flag when you see something that’s out of whack. That’s how the systems stay aligned. Someone has to pay attention to the boundaries of what’s acceptable and what’s not. On the rare occasion when I have someone who is not doing their job or I think is doing

harm to kids, it’s my job to make sure that they’re not available to do harm to kids.

When teachers weren’t performing, how long did it normally take you to move them out?Sometimes a year. Sometimes two. I had someone several years ago who I had huge concerns about. I sat down and I gave him feedback, and every time I talked with him about formal observations that didn’t meet standards, he would write an eight- to 10-page rebuttal. In year two, I changed his assignment to a place where I could watch him even more carefully. And I documented every single month the things he was not doing, and it got tense. But at the end of that year, I fired him.

Do principals have the ability to move their most skilled teachers around? Are the most seasoned and experienced teachers aligned with the students who have the highest needs?The RTA contract makes a distinction that says I can’t move a teacher between primary and intermediate, between K-2 and 3-5. That’s something that the district allowed to get into the contract that they shouldn’t have, so it does create limitations. But, no. In most school districts, the principal doesn’t have too much leeway in moving people around, hiring, and recruiting. You have to work within the system that exists. No, you don’t have carte blanche, but you can certainly try to make sure you get the best people into your classrooms.

The new performance evaluations are supposed to increase accountability and make it easier to terminate ineffective teachers and principals. Do you think they will?Theoretically, I do believe measuring a teacher’s effectiveness based on what students are learning is a valid concept. My personal bias is that the tests shouldn’t be used at this particular time to evaluate teachers and schools because the testing keeps changing. The concept is defensible, but I don’t think the metric is fair or reliable.

Would we have different student outcomes in a smaller RCSD?That sounds logical, but in the South there are some enormous countywide school systems that are successful. Size is not necessarily an impediment, but I will say that the point I made about people doing whatever the hell they want to do is made a little bit easier in a larger system. It’s easier to do and easier to get away with it.

If the estimates are accurate, city schools could lose as much as 20 percent of their students over the next decade to charter schools. When parents came to you and said, “I’m sending my child to a charter school,” what were their reasons?I believe that the reason charter schools will continue to draw students away from us is because we’re not successful enough. Rather than just accepting that and saying that’s the reality, I think we need to fix and align the systems that will help improve student performance. And it can be done. Despite the challenges we’ve talked about, I sincerely believe that Superintendent Vargas and Deputy Superintendent Anita Murphy understand the problems and are on the right path.

But what about the people, many of whom are in the business community, who say the district has been failing students for years — that it’s time to recognize that the district is broken and to offer parents an alternative?Isn’t it interesting that they want to create charter schools which allow them to skim off and cherry pick kids whose parents are paying attention to education? They may not have the monetary resources, but they’re concerned. They are most likely the most involved parents, so now you’re taking kids out of the city schools whose parents value education — basically making the remaining system even worse. If the district is that bad, and you know all of these schools around it are so much better, why not just disband the city school district? Just

close the city school district. Then all the kids who live in the city would have to be absorbed by the surrounding suburbs. I don’t hear anyone in the business community proposing that.

You were on City Council and working in the district. The economic transitions were already under way in the city — Kodak’s decline, retail’s exit from downtown. Did you see a correlation between what was happening to the city economically and the problems developing in city schools? The things that drive decline in the school district have little to do with the economics of the city. The problem is not the economics of the city. It’s the zoning laws in the communities around the city that led to this enormous concentration of poverty. The majority of low-income housing was confined to the city. Your activism on behalf of Rochester’s LGBT community is well-documented. You’re a role model. Did you plan this, and did you have any role models? No, it was nothing I planned. I grew up in an era and in a place [Indiana] where I thought I was the only person like this. There were no role models. When I finally came out in college, my dad said, “Those people usually get shot or they get arrested in bus stations.” Is that what I wanted for my life? When I left Indiana to come to Rochester to take a teaching job in 1971, I assumed that gay and teacher didn’t belong in the same sentence. I came here with the mindset that my private life was going to remain private. But in the second school year, we launched a program called “selective-elective.” And I taught a class on the future: ecology, technology, and one on the sexual revolution. In that one, the students wanted to have speakers come and talk about women’s lib and gay lib. I called the Gay Liberation Front at the University of Rochester, and they had a speakers’

I would say, ‘You’re really doing what you need to be doing.’ And teachers would tell me, ‘But the test says I’m not.’ -Tim Mains

bureau. And I told them that I wanted their speakers to come and talk to my class. They said they wouldn’t come unless they received a letter from an administrator. I went to my vice principal, and she was fine with it. The speakers came and within minutes wherever they went there was a string of kids following behind them gawking and staring. All the cafeteria ladies stopped serving and watched them. Word was out that queers were in the school, and everyone was curious. There must have been 300 kids jammed into the stairwell trying to get into my class to hear my speakers. It took several of us to ferret out the kids in my class, since they were the only ones allowed to come in. The next morning I was summarily called over the loud speaker. I walked into the office and the superintendent was there. He never questioned what I did. He questioned my [lesson] plans. At the end of the day, I was called back to the principal’s office and handed an envelope with a letter of reprimand from the superintendent. All of these accusations had been made. I found out every member of the board had received so many phone calls that they took their phones off the hook, but not before telling the superintendent, “You’ll deal with this tomorrow.” The Greece Police Department also received calls, and dutifully recorded all the incoming calls. But [on examination] none of the parents of my students who were actually in the class and conversed with the speakers called to complain. And I realized then what incredible power that visibility has. Weighing on me at the time were my own sharp memories of high school. At the end of that year, I made a decision that I would never be invisible to my kids the way my [LGBT] teachers had been invisible to me. I also decided that I would become involved with this group that sent the speakers to me. And I’ll tell you I was terrified. But gradually I got connected with the Gay Liberation Front, and then I helped found the Gay Alliance [of the Genesee Valley]. The Gay Alliance was protesting something that was shown on a television show, and I got a call from the Democrat and Chronicle. And I thought about it for a second, and I was interviewed and quoted as a board member of the GAGV. That was it. That was the crossover.

What was the response from students at the time? This is in the early ‘70’s and you were new to teaching. It was very difficult. Name-calling daily. Nasty stuff. I was just a teacher with a label. I was the gay teacher. “Hey faggot.” “Hey queer bait.” Trying to get through a day, I would wonder to myself, “How long is this going to go on?”

Students came to me all the time to discuss their problems. Here I had gone to get my counseling degree and now nobody came to me. I had my tires slashed, nasty notes left under my windshield wiper, crank calls all the time. But slowly the kids in my class got over it. By the time we got through their first marking period, I was their teacher. One day, though, I came in and someone had written “faggot” on the board. I erased it, and on that day, I turned around and I said, “I suppose you think that is going to offend me. I’m your teacher and I believe I deserve the same respect I give to you.” That was the beginning of my slowly deciding I was going to respond. Also, other teachers started helping me by confronting it, too. Then my kids started defending me: “Leave him alone. He’s my teacher and he’s a good teacher.”

By the time you entered politics and ran for City Council, you really had no alternative except to run as an openly gay man, right?I didn’t run for office because I was gay. I ran for office because of actual issues. Gay rights issues are not so much city issues as they are state and federal issues. I was concerned about the paucity of low-income housing, the crappy job we were doing of training police on sensitivity so they could relate to our different communities, and I thought we had a crappy economic development program. That’s what I ran on in 1985. I wasn’t doing it to break any ground. But it was the only issue on the table over and over. There were protests, and I would have reporters put a microphone in front of me and say, “Is it true you’re gay and you have a gay agenda?” Is it true that you received death threats?I never thought the death threats were real; they were just people spouting off. The counselor in me seemed to take over. I never personalized it. I knew it wasn’t about me. Although when I showed up on the doorstep [while campaigning] and a guy opened the door and pointed a gun at me and said, “Get off my fucking porch now, faggot,” that was a little unnerving. I didn’t feel afraid. I felt frustrated. I kept thinking, “When are we ever going to get past this?” I raised more money than anyone had ever raised for a City Council race at that time. I had all the endorsements. I had the D&C, the Times Union, and City’s endorsement. I had labor behind me. With those kinds of backings, I should have won handily. But I remember getting the call that my margin of victory had shrunk. I was ahead, but only by 15 votes. The net result was I was ahead by 11 votes, and I won. I became the poster child for “every vote counts.”

[ REVIEW ] BY LAURA REBECCA KENYON

If you do a Google image search for “rodízio,” a Brazilian-style restaurant in which servers continually bring diners food until the patron signals they’ve had enough to eat, one of the first images you’ll see is a man sitting in a restaurant. Before him is a table cluttered with dishes, food scraps and used utensils. His shirt is lifted to reveal his naked torso, hands resting on his clearly engorged, pregnant-with-a-food-baby belly. The man smiles dazedly at the camera, eyes slightly glazed: the symptoms of what I like to think of as a meat hangover. I recognize his expression. It’s the same one I had on my face after dining at Espada, Rochester’s only churrascaria, a.k.a., Brazilian steakhouse. (I refrained from hiking up my shirt.) It’s hard to leave Espada without feeling

very full. I’m talking an after-Thanksgiving-dinner kind of full. Espada fills Rochester’s churrascaria niche and will appeal to serious carnivores. I’m not one of them. On my initial visit, I made the mistake of not flipping my chip to red the moment I received a portion of food -- more on that in a second -- and ended up like Lucy Ricardo in the chocolate factory, gobbling up morsels as quickly as I could to keep things from piling up. There is so much food, copious amounts of meat and sides and salads, that it’s easy to become overwhelmed, even numb. It’s a shame if that happens, as there are some things that Espada does well.  

At dinner, you’re offered three all-you-can-eat rodízio “levels” from which to choose: green, silver, and gold. The green rodízio ($20) gives you access to the salad bar -- a misnomer, because in addition to green salads, you can easily make a meal of rice and beans, soup, canapes, grilled vegetables, and other assorted sides. The silver rodízio ($35) gets you the salad bar, plus eight types of meat, including chicken drumsticks, parmesan-encrusted pork, and two types of sirloin. The gold rodízio ($45) -- a churrascaria for Henry VIII -- affords you

the salad bar, all the silver-level meats, plus five additional meats (filet mignon, filet wrapped in bacon, lamb chops, beef ribs and rib eye). There is also a children’s rodízio option ($15). All levels come with Brazilian cheese bread (akin to a chewy French gougère), mashed potatoes, and fried plantains. Silver and gold rodízio diners are handed a cardboard chip. One side is ringed with your selected color to signal for food, and the other side is red to ask for a respite. When your chip is flipped to silver or gold, large hunks of beef, pork, lamb, and chicken are presented to you on a steel skewer and sliced onto your plate with machete-like knives; in some cases, you catch the slice with a pair of delicate tongs. Only moments earlier, those skewers had been in the kitchen, spit roasting over hot, charcoal-fueled flames, the chef keeping a watchful eye on the meat, and occasionally, the curious diners looking in at him through the large plate glass window overlooking the salad bar.

At the salad bar, heap onto your plate some feijoada, the zesty and flavorful Brazilian take on rice and beans made with pork. Top this off with farofa, a well-seasoned bread-crumb topping, to

add another layer of flavor and a bit of crunch. Scatter more farofa on your plate to soak up the meat juices that are soon to come. The tri-tip steak is packed with richness, strong in umami, and a bit chewy (not unusual for this cut). Out of all the proffered beef, this one was the most “meaty” and the most satisfying. Two cuts popular in Brazil and, therefore, Brazilian steakhouses, are the picanha and alcatra, cuts of top sirloin. Both slices I received had an off-flavor, yet the hearty pieces a friend received were fine. The pork ribs are tantalizing salty, as is the parmesan-encrusted pork loin. The lamb chops are juicy, tender, and savory. The chicken wrapped in bacon is tasty when the bacon is not flaccid, as it was on one visit; this same visit had limp bacon encircling the beef filet. (Espada’s general manager Mike Caito points out that the kitchen is searching for locally sourced bacon and experimenting with different suppliers, which may account for the difference in texture.) The meal is finished off with grilled pineapple, slathered in cinnamon sugar. Tropical, light and satisfyingly sweet, it’s a refreshing contrast to a salty, protein-packed dinner.

Those not in the mood for a heavy meal don’t need to avoid Espada. Sunday brunch offers a lighter take on the silver rodízio, plus several traditional breakfast options. One Sunday, I enjoyed an unexpected chilled strawberry soup from the salad bar, a sweet and fresh taste of summer in a bowl. Vegetarians, too, will have plenty of choices at the salad bar, though they may be put off by its close proximity to the grilling meats. Or, you might spend a languorous evening at the bar, enjoying a wickedly delicious strawberry mango caipirinha ($8). Traditionally made with sugar, lime, and cachaça, a liquor derived from sugar-cane juice with a flavor somewhere between light rum and silver tequila, a strawberry mango caipirinha is not the standard -- but is too good to pass up. Order an à la carte item or two from the bar menu to offset the effects of the potent cachaça. The bar itself is a 30-foot structure of well-polished, reclaimed wood, and is a great vantage point from which to admire the dining room. It’s a beautiful mix of natural and industrial touches: high ceilings with exposed wood and ductwork, Edison bulbs shining down on chairs built from an old ship, restored glass tiles shimmering behind verdant plants. The overall effect is hip yet relaxed and inviting, and well-suited to an after-work drink, light brunch, or a dinner consisting of a mountain of meat.

The clip gained momentum, the sound was fresh, and the melodies contagious. Indians is, at the end of the day, Juul and Juul alone, although he has procured backing musicians to help him translate the synth-laden, folk-inspired indie pop from the studio to the stage.

Man, it was like a weekend of strikeouts. I was extremely bummed when surf-guitar king Dick Dale bailed on his Friday night gig at Water Street, so I climbed into the two-wheel station wagon and hung ten (twenty if you count the fingers) to the Public Market for some sweltering outdoor boogie with Los Lonely Boys, Melia, and The Tommy Brunett Band as part of the Bands on the Bricks series. Miss finger-tapping, harmonic pentatonic badass, Melia herself was getting off the stage as I arrived under angry skies. Brunett and his ragamuffin honky tonk crew took to the stage and delivered as they always do, but had to scurry in a hurry when the storm came barreling in. It looked like a recipe for a tornado so Los Lonely Boys, who I’m sure didn’t want to become Los Soggy Boys, bailed. Texans know better than to fuck with a potential tornado.  Local impresario, music man on the — as well as behind the — scene, and Big Easy zydeco bon vivant, Woody Woodward’s events are parties where

parties go to party hard and learn how to throw a hardy party. It’s simple; start with music and end with music. And if you wanna be smart, you throw some music in the middle. I had the pleasure of crashing the Woodward estates Saturday afternoon to hear the country and western twang and talent of Jeff Riales and the Silvertone Express. Riales cool baritone was an ideal way to beat the heat as he and the boys worked through a set of mostly original tunes of heartbreak and heart fix. It was twangtastic, twangtacular, twangzemplory, and twangcellent. I think I drank too much iced tea. Thanks anyway, Wood. ‘Twas a blast. Caught Buffalo’s Kickstart Rumble at Lovin’ Cup later that night after a tight set from the homeboys in Krypton 88 — dig that purdy new guitar. Kickstart Rumble plays rockabilly right down the middle in the vein of cats like Eddie Cochran and Chuck Berry, just a hint-o-country with beat appeal and balls. Truly “Somethin’ Else.”

[ ROCK ] I don’t get the revolution reference entirely here. I mean, the festival includes 35 of Rochester’s best hard and heavy bands. Sounds like a majority to me. You can have your head and your eardrums handed back to you in a bag if you witness this incredibly relentless line-up. This ain’t no battle. It’s a healthy and positive coming together of like-minded banging heads. Maybe that’s the revolution. Setiva, One Fate Remains, Mulu Lizzi, Lowkey, Burndwiller, and Caustic Method are just a fraction of the musical tonnage on display. Duck. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

In town on the most recent leg of his tour to promote “Write Me Back” before he heads off to South Africa, Kelly is also working on his memoir, and to show us he’s still got it as an auteur… more chapters of “Trapped in the Closet,” just in case the first 33 chapters didn’t wrap up the story tidily enough. Going a bit more in the soul direction on his most recent effort, he certainly has not lost any skills as a crooner of the finest sort.

[ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

All hyperbole aside, St. Louis-based soul shouter Nikki Hill is one of the best roots-rock singers I have ever seen. And I’ve seen quite a few. And I’m not just talking about the stars of now, but of all time. I rate her up there with Wanda Jackson, Barbara Pittman, Etta James, and Ruth Brown. Seriously folks, Hill blows my doors off. With little fanfare, Hill and her band blew through the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que last month to rock the lid off the joint. The buzz hasn’t stopped since. Everyone’s still carrying on about the girl with the voice; a voice that is part sweet seduction, part sweeter threat. At 28, Hill is stiletto sharp and bouffant cool, flamier than Little Richard (or perhaps more appropriately, Esquerita), raunchier than Sharon Jones, more straight-ahead than Rachel Nagy of The Detroit Cobras. More than a couple of us fell in love with Hill that night. Hill recently rang up from a tour stop in Oregon to discuss how she stumbled into singing, who she digs, and how a skyscraper hairdo is divine. An edited transcript of the conversation follows.  CITY: You started singing in church. What of that remains of that in your music and what got cut?NIKKI HILL: I would say aside from the religious references, nothing got cut. The best part about gospel music is it’s as rock and roll as anything else out there. The energy, intensity, the realness -- I always want that in my music if I can help it. 

When did you first want to sing? When did you first realize you could sing?This is hand-in-hand for me. I never really wanted to sing. My dad made me join the gospel choir when I was a kid. People said, “Wow, that little girl can wail!” Well, I didn’t really care. I just did it because I had to, and then it was something to do to pass the time when I was at my dad’s. I guess it’s kind of cheesy, but music found me, not really the

other way around. I’m just a big music nerd at heart, and I guess I wanted to throw my 2 cents out there and be immersed in it full time.

Who were some of your early influences?There are plenty. Little Richard, Nappy Brown, Chuck Berry, Etta James, Nick Curran, Amy Winehouse, Bon Scott, The Faces (with Rod Stewart), Eddie Hinton, Allen Stone, The Staple Singers, Otis Redding, Lou Ann Barton, Sister Rosetta Tharpe...it goes on and on. I love them all for how real they are. Vocally, they are unique, strong, intense, and just plain real. And it doesn’t hurt that they had bad-ass bands.

What was your first experience on stage? How did you feel?Well, singing in the choir really prepared me more than anything for the stage. We had to sing in front of the people in church, and then we also traveled to other churches to sing and to gospel revivals and all kinds of stuff. We had these little dancing entrances coming in through the doors sometimes. I tell you, some of it really teaches you the elements of show business. So, to be honest, the other times on stage haven’t really been anything different. It’s hard for me to explain. I just don’t get nervous. Excited, yes. Every single time I’m excited, because I’m about to go onstage with my gang of pirates and we’re going to do what we can to blow people’s minds. So really, every time is just as awesome as the first. I don’t go out there with a notion of how my voice is going to sound. I just want to sound like me. A damned good me.

It seems like you’ve exploded onto the scene. Give a little back ground as to why and how we got here.My musical history is very quick. My husband heard me singing and it just sparked something in him to keep encouraging me to do it. I kind of thought he was bullshitting me because, you know, we were dating at the time, and I thought he was just being nice. I started singing a couple of songs at some of his shows when we moved to St. Louis and got a great response. Still, it wasn’t much more than that. Our friend, Vinnie Valenza, who owns Blues City Deli and brings in great bands, offered me a gig. I said yes, put together a set list and went for it. That was in November of 2011. Not that long ago. After that, I did a couple shows here and

there, but it was more a thing: Matt Hill featuring Nikki Hill. April 2012 and I’m at Viva Las Vegas with girlfriends. We were at Ronnie Weiser’s house party, where they have bands come up and jam. My sneaky girlfriend signed me up and I got stuck in it. Before I knew it guys had been rounded up going, “Well, what are you gonna do?” I did three tunes. They showed up on YouTube. The rumor spread that I performed at the actual festival. And by the time I got home, I had e-mails, Facebook messages, phone calls about gigs. Holy crap. My husband was basically like, “Told you.” So I wrote the EP to see what the response would be like. That was last July. And, well, here we are.

There seem to be so few female vocalists in this genre, yet obviously a huge demand. Are there other girls we need to listen for?I honestly am not sure why there are so few female vocalists in the roots music scene. I actually think they are out there, but maybe just not discovered yet. I think unfortunately a lot of females get caught up in doing either what people suggest they do, or what they think they should be doing to impress the people in the music world. And that just doesn’t last long, so they never get past playing locally or a few tours here or there. I mean, it applies to everyone, not just females. This is a tough business. It’s hard, it’s expensive if you’re doing it yourself like we are, and it takes balls. If you have a good day job and don’t want to give it up, then it’s only going to go so far. The amazing female artists that we all admire have set the bar waaaaayyyy up there. So, it’s a lot to overcome and make your niche in it. Hell, I’m still surprised people listen to me. I wish all the ladies luck. Be yourselves, and rock!

Discuss what American roots audiences can learn from European audiences.So far this year we have played in seven countries aside from America. We had a great time and the crowds were great, but it wasn’t anything starkly different. The only thing I would say is that they make a little more effort to go check out live music. They still have the same problems, though. Weekday gigs can still be iffy. Thankfully we had great full houses, but talking with the bands over there, they have the same issues with the crowds as we do. If anything, I say they research what they listen to a little more and have sometimes a better musical knowledge. But, again, you meet people here like that, too. To be honest, after playing there so much throughout this year, it was all the same minus the language barrier. Oh, and more people cry over there when they are moved by your songs. So sweet.

What is your discography and future recording plans?Right now I have my self-titled EP that I released late last summer. And a brand new full-length that I have been taking on the road the last couple of months. I just recorded an EP with Deke Dickerson and The Bo-Keys in Memphis that should be out later this year. We will start recording again when we’re not touring. Right now, the goal is to get out there and rock and roll in front of as many people as we can.

Is it true, the higher the hair the closerto god?Amen! Can I get a witness?

CHIPTUNE | ANAMANAGUCHI

Imagine sitting down to tackle an old video game. You are treated to an assortment of 8-bit tunes. Imagine the surprise then, when the various melodies resemble actual songs with a keen sense for pop sensibilities and are so catchy they slightly distract you from the game initially. As the game proceeds you feel the music feeding your perfor-mance more than usual, partly since it’s just so darn good at matching what’s happening on screen, but also because you can imagine yourself enjoying the music outside of this imaginary video game world. That’s Anamanaguchi.

JAZZ | MARK KELLOGG AND TONY CARAMIA“Together Again” is the title of the upcoming concert fea-turing trombonist Mark Kellogg and pianist Tony Caramia. It not only alludes to the length of time since the two musicians have performed together in Kilbourn Hall, it also recalls the title of the second duet record by pianist Bill Evans and singer Tony Bennett. Kellogg and Caramia both love the Evans/Bennett mid-1970s collaborations, so they chose 10 songs from the albums to play at the concert. While Caramia’s piano will explore the tunes Evans first played, Bennett’s vocals will be replaced by the gorgeous tone of Kellogg’s trombone.

AMERICANA | TINA AND HER PONY

Based out of New Mexico, folk duo Tina and Her Pony combine a love for traditional Appalachian folk with “rad-ical, queer lyrics, uncommon instrumentation and vocals tighter than your mama’s brazier.” All joking aside, the duo’s harmonies are truly something to be noted, featuring two voices that meld together to create a smooth, pleasant, rarely witnessed sound. Tina lists their influences as being female folk greats such as Joni Mitchell, Ani DiFranco, and Jenny Lewis, and the duo joins these women in creating confessional tunes with a strong, proud edge to them. With two women who are multi-instrumentalists as well as brilliant singers, Tina and Her Pony is an act that should not be missed.

Tina and Her Pony performs on Wednesday, July 31st, 8 p.m. at Abilene Bar and Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way, $5-$8. abilenebarandlounge.com. — BY LEAH CREARY

[ PREVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND

Rochester boasts an unusual number of choral groups, and when summer rolls around, most of those large choruses, small ensembles, school groups, and church choirs take a break. But choral singers still want to sing choral music. Luckily there are a few summertime outlets for them. Rochester’s Really Big Choral Show each summer is the Finger Lakes Choral Festival. Since 2003, this group has presented a large-scale concert each July under its founder and director, Adrian “Andy” Horn. Horn started the Finger Lakes Choral Festival in the summer of 2003; he had moved to the region a few years prior, after a long period of work with several choral groups in the San Francisco area and a stint in Washington. The Choral Festival made its debut with Verdi’s Requiem, singing with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, and has performed in

Rochester every summer since, usually at the Hochstein Performance Hall. The group meets weekly starting in May of each year, aiming for a concert in late July. “I didn’t think of the festival in competition with local choral groups,” says Horn. “I did want to have a place where the area’s choral singers could sing in the summer, or where we could wean former singers back into choral music.” They’ve been very successful on both counts.

In the last decade, Finger Lakes Choral Festival has concentrated on the big choral works, including another performance of the Verdi and one of the Brahms Requiem at Chautauqua Institution; Beethoven’s Ninth with the RPO; and independent performances of Orff’s “Carmina Burana,” Beethoven’s “Missa Solemnis,” Bach’s “St. Matthew Passion,” and perhaps the biggest choral spectacular of them all, the Berlioz Requiem – twice, in Rochester in 2010 and in San Francisco last summer to excellent reviews. “I do try to offer mainstream choral pieces – the big works that everybody loves,” says Horn. “But I try to mix it up, too. There are works by composers that people love that are not performed very often.” That describes this summer’s Finger Lakes Choral Festival concert, taking place July 28, to

a T: the program includes unfamiliar but highly satisfying music by two well-loved 19th-century composers. Antonin Dvorák is best known for his symphonies, concertos, and chamber music, but he also wrote several religious choral works, of which his “Stabat Mater” is generally considered the best. A classic in Dvorak’s native Czechoslovakia, it is seldom performed in this country. Horn reckons that of the 150 or so people in his chorus, only a half-dozen have ever sung this work before. “Dvorak is one of the leading classical composers in name recognition, but he was very prolific, and much of his music is not well known,” says Horn. “However, everything I have heard has a really fresh feeling about it, including the choral music.” Horn has never conducted Dvorak’s “Stabat Mater” before, though he loves the work, a moving, lyrical setting of a medieval poem describing the suffering of Christ on the cross and of Mary at his feet. “At the beginning I told the chorus members that this music was so powerful, there were tear stains on my score. I meant it tongue-in-cheek, but on the other hand, it’s true. This music has made a definite emotional connection with me and with the singers.” Horn adds that they’ll be singing an abridged version of the work; he has cut the

solo vocal movements (soloists will be heard with the chorus in several movements) and one choral movement, so the piece clocks in at about 45 minutes. This allows time for another major work on the program – and an even more unusual one.

Unlike Dvorak’s “Stabat Mater,” Edvard Grieg’s “Peer Gynt” Suites contain some of the most familiar tunes in classical music. An animated-cartoon sunrise seldom occurs without Grieg’s “Morning Mood” on the soundtrack, and rock bands and rap performers have appropriated “In the Hall of the Mountain King,” which has also turned up in Woody Allen’s “Scoop” and on “Mad Men.” They’re two of the most familiar movements from the voluminous incidental music Grieg composed for Henrik Ibsen’s play “Peer Gynt,” a satirical epic about the life of a Norwegian ne’er-do-well that spans decades and continents. The combination of Ibsen and Grieg was acclaimed at first, but for modern tastes Ibsen’s sour satire and Grieg’s sweet, tuneful score don’t mesh, so play and music have gone their separate ways. As did their creators: the two great Norwegians were friends, but Grieg disliked Ibsen’s play, and Ibsen sneered at Grieg’s music years later. But Grieg did deliver the goods, composing a huge score for a huge play. The two popular “Peer Gynt” suites contain only a fraction of the material, which include several choral movements. Horn heard a few of these, and they gave him the idea of turning Ibsen’s five-act play into a dramatic sequence that includes many of the best-known numbers in the order in which they appear in the play. They are tied together with narration, which will be delivered by Thomas Paul, the well-known local bass, whose speaking voice is as sonorous as his singing voice. This creation took some time: Ibsen’s play has been translated from Norwegian into English several times, but the words for Grieg’s settings of the choruses hadn’t, so the conductor took on that job with the help of Google Translate. The men’s chorus joins in the “Hall of the Mountain King” (singing some notably bloodthirsty words), the women’s chorus in an “Arabian Dance.” They join for an a capella hymn and a grand finale combining previous themes from the music, a climax that Horn promises “will blow your mind.” Rare choral music by Dvorak and Grieg doesn’t guarantee a packed house, but Horn’s enthusiasm for the music on this concert is obvious. “My philosophy has always been: if it’s not music that excites me and that I feel passionate about, then why do it?” says the conductor. “After all, you wouldn’t walk into the finest restaurant in the world and order a hamburger.”

WORKSHOP | BEEKEEPING EVENTWe’ve known for a while now that the honeybees are in trouble, and some people understand that this means we are in trouble too, because our ability to feed ourselves depends on the wee beasts. Recent studies have finally confirmed what many feared was true -- that the big hit their populations have taken has a lot to do with the anti-pest chemicals we spray on our crops, which they pollinate. Little wonder.

There’s been an increase in people interested in personal beekeeping, which in some cases originates from the desire to help safeguard and and monitor the health of the bees. If you’re currently a beekeeper (or interested in becoming one), but unsure what to do with for the fragile creatures during the harsher months, sign up for “Christmas in July, or Preparing your Hives for Winter,” a workshop with entomologist Mike Griggs offered on Monday, July 29, 7-9 p.m., at Monroe County Cooperative Extension (249 Highland Ave.). The workshop offers a look at wintering history and talk about proactive winter preparation. Participation is free, but donations are accepted.

“Rent”THROUGH AUGUST 3

BLACKFRIARS THEATRE, 795 E. MAIN ST.

$33.50-$39.50 | 454-1260, BLACKFRIARS.ORG

[ REVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND

As I imagine everybody knows by now, in the early 1990’s the composer-lyricist Jonathan Larson had the inspiration of reimagining Puccini’s “La Bohème” among the boho set in New York’s Alphabet City. The show, titled “Rent,” was a smash hit on Broadway, won every award imaginable (including the Pulitzer Prize for Drama), made a ton of money, and produced a core of rabid fans called Rent-heads. (Larson got to enjoy none of this, because he died the night of its first preview performance.) It remains a beloved show, and younger audiences see it as a classic, but the excitement around it seems to have died down. What better time for Blackfriars to take another look at it? The company’s production of “Rent” opened last Friday night and plays through August 3, and it’s a rousing one. Puccini also had his source material, the popular 19th-century book “Scenes from Bohemian Life” by Henri Mürger. Puccini’s version is tragic, but his suave, romantic music gives the story an overlay of charm. Larson’s characters are grimier, grittier, and raunchier; their lives are blighted by poverty, as in Puccini, but here the plague is not tuberculosis but AIDS. The music is Broadway-style rock and roll (with a not-quite-respectful nod to Puccini’s “Musetta’s Waltz”). Larson was definitely a talented writer, and had a knack for fusing the elements of rock music to write real musical scenes. He could write a catchy tune; to hear “Seasons of Love” once is to have it in your head forever. There’s also some elaborate choral writing and many beautiful and powerful moments. His lyrics are practically nonstop; there must be as many words in “Rent” as there are in “War and Peace,” and unlike many pop-music lyrics, Larson’s rhyme consistently. “La Bohème’s” Rodolfo is here a songwriter named Roger (played by Nick Faruch) and his Mimi is uh, Mimi (Courtney Weather), although here she’s not a charming seamstress with tuberculosis but a pole dancer who’s HIV-positive. (Larsen’s recasting of their initial meeting, in a musical scene called

“Light My Candle,” is one of the wittiest things in the show, set to an infectious rhythm and managing to be dirty and charming at the same time.) Marcello is now Mark, Roger’s roommate and a video artist documenting life among his friends (Jimmy Boorum); Musetta is Maureen (Kaitlin Baldwin), a “performance artist” (do they still call them that?) of dubious talent who looks smashing in black leather – Mark’s ex and now an item with a lawyer named Joanne (Janine Mercandetti). There are also Roger and Mark’s friend and landlord Benny (Michael D. Hall), a boho-turned-bougie, and, in one of Larson’s most imaginative changes to the original, a black male couple – a rogue computer genius named Tom Collins (Tamar Greene) and a drag queen named Angel Dumott Schunard (Josh Johnson), who spends Act One in a Santa Claus suit. The life force of the group, he is also the first to die of AIDS. These characters are practically bit players in “La Bohème,” but in “Rent” they become the show’s emotional center. (Now that’s re-imagining a classic.) One ground rule of a good production of anything is that the performers care about it a lot, and everybody, but everybody, in Blackfriars’ production of “Rent” seems totally invested in it. The principals mentioned above are a dynamic combination of familiar local performers with new talents; they all have powerhouse voices (several are operatically trained) and energy to burn, and they mesh well as friends and lovers. While they all get standout moments and sing the hell out of them, they are a real ensemble. The principals and the very busy supporting cast all blossom under Andy Pratt’s music direction. The band is occasionally overpowering, and with the actors delivering their lines in the round, sometimes with their backs to the audience, some words get lost. The full-cast numbers are almost overwhelming. “Rent” is old enough now that you don’t risk being called an old fuddy-duddy for

pointing out that while the show it still packs an emotional punch in places, it is, to say the least, uneven. The first act goes like gangbusters, introducing the characters, their relationships, and their milieu efficiently and ending with a bang (the happily defiant song “La Vie Bohème”). During the second act, when the relationships begin to sour and death casts a long shadow, the show loses its momentum, turning into more of a song cycle than a libretto: a succession of short scenes and songs punctuated with blackouts. There’s so much energy emanating from the cast that the show’s start-and-stop-and-start structure, particularly in the second act, becomes frustrating – and it is emphasized in Simmons’ staging, which ends most every number with a blackout while cast members move some furniture. This is a minor quibble; the full-cast numbers are excitingly and fluidly staged, and Simmons’s directing of the principals is spot-on. This is a show full of magnetic performances. Any remaining Rent-heads will be pleased with this production of their favorite, and if you’ve never seen this show and want to judge it for yourself, I can’t imagine a much better performance of it than the one Blackfriars is presenting this month.

LECTURE | GROWING UP GANDHIAs progressive human rights movements take hold and work against imperialism, colonialism, and their ugly, many-headed children, it’s surprisingly easy for the newer generations to forget the fight and overlook that there will always be more work to be done. One good way to avoid taking advancements of the underdogs for granted is to remain in contact with those who experienced the world in its former state, who remember what it was like to live under different policies, and who understand the world as it is today a bit more keenly than others.

The YMCA of Greater Rochester will host Arun Gandhi, grandson of Indian nationalist leader Mahatma Gandhi, for an evening of conversation and reflection as he shares his experiences growing up in a time of apartheid. The community is invited to attend “Growing up Gandhi” on Tuesday, July 30, as the speaker shares the valuable lessons he learned from his late grandfather.

The event will take place 5:30-7 p.m. at Carlson MetroCenter YMCA (444 E. Main St.), and is free and open to the public, but advance registration is required. Free parking is available in the East End Garage. For more information or to register, call 325-2880 or visit rochesterymca.org/growingupgandhi. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

RECREATION | FOCUS ON TREES PROGRAMRochester Museum & Science Center’s 900 acre Cumming Nature Center (6472 Gulick Road, Naples) will offer a new exploratory program on trees, beginning this weekend. Focus on Trees is a series of guided walks for all ages with Dave Gotham, director of CNC. Each informative woodland walk will highlight a specific tree species with facts about the many important things we derive from trees, including lumber, medicine, oxygen, heat, paper, wildlife cover, and food.

Walks will take place from 9:30 a.m. to noon, beginning Saturday, July 27, and continuing into the fall. This weekend’s program focuses on Plantations, with a hike to six plantations and discussion centered on their potential economic benefits and the drawbacks.

Participation in the hikes is free for RMSC members, with a donation of $3 per person or $10 per family requested from the general public. CNC trails are open 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Wednesday-Friday, and 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Visit rmsc.org or call 374-6160 for more information. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

[ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA

“Girl Most Likely”(PG-13), DIRECTED BY SHARI SPRINGER

BERMAN AND ROBERT PULCINI

NOW PLAYING

Amid the reverberating thunder of the seasonal spectaculars, a movie without any special effects should reassure audiences that Hollywood has not yet destroyed the world with planetary collision, climate catastrophe, thermonuclear war, or all those tiresome zombies. A modest little romantic comedy and a quintessential chick flick, “Girl Most Likely,” provides a modicum of relief from the coming apocalypse.

The movie proceeds in a most predictable manner, following a familiar trajectory of loss, suffering, learning, and resolution. Kristen Wiig plays Imogene, a once promising young playwright now reduced to working at a New York magazine, writing capsule reviews of Broadway plays, hanging around with some phony, artsy society types, and living in a posh apartment with her wealthy boyfriend Peter (Brian Petsos). Her whole world collapses when Peter dumps her and she loses her job, which leads to a half-hearted suicide attempt, the gesture that in effect reopens her life. Against her wishes, she must return to her home in Ocean City, New Jersey to stay with her mother Zelda (Annette Benning) in a most

dysfunctional household, the sort of domicile full of eccentrics that appears in some 1940s comedies. Zelda, a compulsive gambler, now has a live-in boyfriend, George Boosh (Matt Dillon), who consumes only turkey sandwiches, claims to be a CIA agent, and spins fantastic tales of his incredible experiences.

She has also rented Imogene’s bedroom to Lee (Darren Criss) a young singer in a casino band that impersonates the Backstreet Boys (really). Imogene’s younger brother Ralph (Christopher Fitzgerald), pudgy and dim, collects mollusks and runs a kiosk called Crabville on the boardwalk. Disheartened by the company she must keep, fully aware of her failure as a writer, broke and alone, Imogene pines for her old life in New York, but when Lee drives her back to her apartment, she discovers that on top of everything else, she’s been evicted, her supposed friends won’t help her, and actually don’t even like her. Another force propels her, the discovery that the father she had believed died when she was a child — Zelda’s invention — is alive and well, a scholar who lives in a palatial home in Manhattan. The script includes a number of familiar comic gimmicks and touches, the usual gags and some physical bits mixed in with the obvious patterns demanded of its form; it also provides some funny surprises. Ralph, whose obsession with mollusks inspires him to create a hermit crab shell for humans, turns out to be smarter and more resourceful than anyone would expect. And a potentially violent climactic moment reveals the real truth about George, the fantasizing secret operative. In addition to the reasonably pleasant, reasonably successful comic plot, “Girl Most Likely” employs a number of repeated shots that in effect visually summarize the major conflict

[ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

“The Way, Way Back”(PG-13), WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY

NAT FAXON AND JIM RASH

NOW PLAYING

It’s been a big year for films of the “and nothing was ever the same after that summer” genre. Between “Mud,” “The Kings of Summer,” and now “The Way, Way Back,” teenage boys have been coming of age all over your multiplex. (I swear I didn’t mean to make that sound quite so filthy...) If nothing else, it proves the versatility of movies of this type when they’re done right. From thriller to whimsical fantasy to the more traditional dramedy that “The Way, Way Back” traffics in, each above-mentioned film has brought something different to their tales of an adolescent’s journey toward maturity. But despite probably being the most formulaic, “Back” is far and away the most crowd-pleasing of the bunch. The audience at the preview screening I attended actually applauded at the end, and I can’t even remember the last time I was in a movie theater where that happened. Duncan (Liam James, “The Killing”) has been dragged along on summer vacation with his mother, Pam (a

wonderful Toni Collette), and her condescending, dickish new boyfriend Trent (Steve Carell, in his villain mode) along with Trent’s bitchy teenage daughter, and he couldn’t be less happy about it. Duncan is an introverted, socially awkward 14-year-old, and the idyllic beachside setting of the lake house where they’re vacationing only adds to his feeling of isolation. As his mother acts less like herself, getting drunk with Trent and his friends (Rob Corddry and Amanda Peet) and gossiping with their gregarious next-door neighbor, Betty (Allison Janney, all but stealing the movie), Duncan feels left in the dust. Things look up slightly when he meets Betty’s sensitive daughter, Susanna (AnnaSophia Robb, “Soul Surfer”), who seems to be just about the same amount of miserable as he is. “It’s like spring break for adults,” Susanna notes, observing their mothers’ juvenile behavior. Also the product of divorced parents, Susanna and Duncan bond over their shared angst. Naturally Duncan develops a crush, but of course he’s too painfully shy to do anything about it. Then Duncan meets Owen (Sam Rockwell), the friendly, free-spirited manager of the Water Wizz water park down the road. Owen takes Duncan under his wing, giving him a part-time job at the park and generally showing him the ropes. Under Owen’s unorthodox tutelage, the teen slowly comes out of his shell and learns a few life lessons along the way. James makes for an immensely appealing lead. Just the right amount of dorky, he makes Duncan’s innate decency shine through the character’s reticent nature. James has a nice chemistry with Robb, but it pales in comparison to the interactions between him and Sam Rockwell, and

that’s intentional; it’s the relationship between Owen and Duncan that’s truly the heart of the film. Rockwell and James have a nice, playful dynamic and they bounce off one another incredibly well, managing to tap into a poignant emotional undercurrent when the chips are down. Carell’s character is never anything other than a complete lout, but the actor gives him just enough dimension that he doesn’t becomes an outright caricature. When he tells Duncan early on that as a person he sees the kid as a 3 out of 10, it’s clear that in his mind he’s imparting important life lessons and helping to snap a disaffected youth out of his malaise. The supporting cast is rounded out with ringers, and the staff of Water Wizz is filled with a fantastic collection of comedic actors, including the always-welcome Maya Rudolph as the put-upon assistant manager who also functions as a potential love interest for Owen. The Oscar-winning screenwriting duo of Jim Rash and Nat Faxon (who previously collaborated with Alexander Payne on “The Descendants”) acquit themselves well in their directorial debut; the film zips along entertainingly. Their script too often relies on contrived and formulaic developments, and there’s never any real question of where the story is headed. But when the formula is melded to strong writing, charismatic performers, and a fun setting, the predictable way in which the events unfold doesn’t seem to matter so much. I had a smile on my face nearly the entire way through. “The Way, Way Back” is like a great beach novel; not the most complex or challenging entertainment out there, but definitely one of the most satisfying.

Way, Way Back.” PHOTO COURTESY FOX

SEARCHLIGHT PICTURES

of the movie. The directors juxtapose some nighttime panoramas of Ocean City with New York City, with Manhattan’s glittering necklace of bridges beautifully contrasting with the lighted amusement park along the boardwalk, especially the Ferris wheel turning in its brilliant circles against the dark background of the sea. The contrast also illuminates Imogene’s own internal conflict, stuck in Ginsberg’s nowhere Zen New Jersey and longing for the glamour of New York. Everybody in the cast performs well, so well in fact that the supporting players actually prove more interesting than Kristen Wiig, who mostly seems bland and passive. Matt Dillon plays the secret agent with absolute seriousness, never even hinting at the absurdity of his character and his ridiculous utterances; his consistent deadpan and absolute belief in himself make him perhaps the funniest person in the whole messy group. As usual, Annette Benning demonstrates that she can play comedy as well as anything else, imbuing the ostensibly nutty and self-centered Zelda with a touching and sincere element of pathos. Like “Sex and the City,” the picture shows a cinema version of Manhattan, with a certain stratum of the city populated by affluent, sophisticated, well dressed people, most of them attractive women who attend art shows, book launches, and glossy parties. Most impressive and least believable, it also shows that Lee, who drives Imogene into the city on a couple of occasions, always finds a parking space.

This 1,789 square foot home, built in 1930,

has three bedrooms and one full bathroom.

An unfinished attic and basement provide

extra storage or can be converted into large

guest bedrooms. The home’s convenient

location in the historic Browncroft neighborhood

contributes to its appeal, with easy access

to I-490 and I-590, Ellison Park, and the

amenities of the North Winton Village within

walking distance. The Brown brothers’ planning

and green thumbs shows in the rich number

and variety of plantings throughout the

neighborhood. The area is a great place to take

an evening stroll with your family or a morning

jog. With the nearest school only a few blocks

away, this home is a great place for a family.

A roomy front porch, perfect for warm and

breezy summer evenings, welcomes you.

Entering the house, light pours in through a

large window across the front of the formal

living room. A large working gas fireplace,

moldings, leaded glass, and hardwood floors

set this house apart. Built-ins scattered

throughout the house are great for extra

storage. You will find expansive counter space

and updated appliances in this Tuscan-style

kitchen. Cooking becomes easier with the use

of the pot filler over the stove. You will enjoy the

luxury of a dedicated coffee bar with its own

water source. With a simple turn of a knob, the

pot automatically begins to refill. The kitchen

also opens into the dining area, which is great

for entertaining friends and family.

The laundry is located centrally in the second

floor hallway for easy access. No need to

lug heavy laundry hampers up and down

the stairs. All of the bedrooms are situated

around a central hall, which would be great

for parents of young children. Enjoy wide

and deep closets in each bedroom, an

unusual characteristic for a house built in

1930. Window seats in the smaller bedrooms

are great for children or guests who like to

read a book and relax in the natural sunlight.

The master bedroom is large enough to

accommodate a king size bed along with

other furniture.

A private porch, accessed exclusively through

the master bedroom, looks onto a lush

secluded garden with tall, full trees and a

privacy fence. A gushing fountain pours into

the pond, which is home to many goldfish and

lily pads. Look out into the majestic garden

and drink your morning coffee while sitting in

the open sunroom. In the evenings, relax in

the hot tub with a glass of wine.

This wonderful home in a wonderful

neighborhood is listed at $199,900. Contact

Mark Siwiec with Nothnagle Realtors at 585-

The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. There are government agencies, legal aid entities and other non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about foreclosure while you are working with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Banking Department at 1-877-BANKNYS (1-877-226-5697) or visit the Department’s website at www.banking.state.ny.us.
