Time Out

COLD COMFORT

Feeling achy from the cold? Depressed from the dark? Stressed out from holiday preparations? December brings a perfect storm of forces that can batter the immune system.
To stay healthy, it’s a good time to pay attention to how you’re feeling, both physically and mentally, experts say. Finding ways to relax is a great first step.
Slowing down with meditation or a few moments alone in a sauna or whirlpool makes the world go away. Breathe deeply and let the warmth soak into cold joints.
Getting massages regularly also helps the body cope, says Craig Danehy, medical massage coordinator of Integrated Wellness Systems, a medical/sports massage center in Greece and Rochester.
“Massage therapy isn’t just for relaxation anymore,” he says. “We treat clients with acute and chronic muscular pain. We also treat clients that are suffering with fatigue and stress-related issues.”
Swedish massage warms and loosens muscles that tighten during the cold months and in times of extra stress. Deep-tissue massage targets knots and releases chronic muscle tension.
And don’t forget to exercise. Even a half-hour walk outdoors, preferably in daylight, will bolster spirits. Staying active is a proven mood-booster. Your joints will thank you too.
-Sally Parker

BY WAY OF ILLUSTRATION

A new show at Rochester Institute of Technology presents 50 masterworks from the permanent collection of the Society of Illustrators in New York City, including Edward Penfield’s “Holland Bridge,” left. “An Historical Look at Visual Communication” will open in the Bevier Gallery with a reception Dec. 12 from 5 to 7 p.m. Among the artists: Howard Pyle, the father of American illustration, and Frederick Remington, plus artists whose work appears in Atlantic Monthly and Time. The opening reception is 5 to 7 p.m., Dec. 12. The show will be up until Jan. 21.

URBAN DESIGN IDEAS

Architectural and urban designs for Bulls Head, High Falls and downtown are the subject of a new exhibit at Rochester Regional Community Design Center.
“Urban Design Studios” is the work of students from three regional colleges. Urban design students at SUNY College at Alfred will have selections from their “Bull’s Head Neighborhood Master Plan,” above, on view. Students in an environmental planning and urban design workshop at Cornell University will exhibit “Downtown Vision Plan, Rochester, N.Y.” And the Architectural Studio 301 class at Hobart & William Smith Colleges will present “A Museum / Community Education Center / Small Business Incubator for the High Falls District in Rochester, N.Y.”
“An important aspect of our mission is to be an educational resource and promote awareness of quality urban design for the region,” says Joni Monroe, executive director of RRCDC.
The exhibit elements were all part of student course work. Students worked with their professors and Monroe to select representative pieces.
The show will open with a reception in RRCDC’s Design Gallery Dec. 12 from 6 to 9 p.m. and will be up through Jan. 23. The design center is in the Hungerford Complex at 1115 E. Main St.

Culture clash

The presidents of the University of Rochester and Houghton College will participate in a panel discussion after “A Man for All Seasons” airs at the Dryden Theatre Dec. 13 at 8 p.m.
UR’s Joel Seligman and Houghton’s Shirley Mullen will join Democrat & Chronicle film columnist Jack Garner in a review of the historical drama about Sir Thomas More and his clash with King Henry VIII. The 1966 Fred Zinnemann film won six Oscars.
Visit eastmanhouse.org for more information.

The art of wine

Casa Larga Vineyards is unveiling a line of wines with a public launch party this weekend.
Head winemaker John Colaruotolo says the new line, Gallery 155, was years in the making. With a focus on the art of their craft, Casa Larga’s winemakers developed three blends of higher-profile wines: a Pinot Noir, a Meritage red blend and “tre Blanc,” a white blend, he says.
The Fairport winery will be offering free samples Dec. 12 to 14. Visit casalarga.com for details.

Traditional trio

Celebrate three cultural traditions this month at Rochester Museum and Science Center.
Rabbi Chaim Hisiger of Hillel School will tell the story of Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, on Dec. 14 at 3 p.m. On Dec. 20 at 2 p.m., the Polish Heritage Society of Rochester will portray a Polish-American family preparing for Wigilia, a traditional Polish Christmas Eve. On Dec. 29 at 5:30 p.m., visitors can take part in Kwanzaa activities. Kwanzaa has roots in African harvest celebrations.
Visit rmsc.org for more information.

Wedge poker

If you’ve heard about the bustling nightlife in the city’s South Wedge neighborhood but still haven’t checked it out, Dec. 18 might be a good night to do it.
The neighborhood is sponsoring Mistletoe Mingle, a poker hand pub crawl and caroling along South Avenue and Gregory Street. Seven pubs are taking part, starting at 7 p.m. at South Wedge Colony and continuing on to Solera Wine Bar, Lux Lounge, Beale Street, Tap & Mallet, the Keg and Caverly’s. Pick up a playing card at each place. The best poker hand will be picked at 10:30 p.m. at Caverly’s. The winner gets a gift basket of Wedge items. For more information, call Christina Jones at Historic Houseparts, 305-4354.

Method madness

Method Machine this week will stage “Fat Pig,” a play about 20-somethings navigating social expectations.
The play is directed by Nazareth College alumnus Zach Staszewski and features fellow alumni and current Nazareth students.
“Fat Pig” tells the story of Tom, who meets and likes Helen but has to deal with judgmental friends critical of the fact that she is overweight. The dialogue is typical of playwright and filmmaker Neil LaBute-squirmingly ugly yet all too familiar.
Performances will be Dec. 12, 13, 15, 18 and 20 at 7 p.m. upstairs at Nasty D’s on Alexander Street.

Mortgage delinquency rates still rising

Mortgage delinquency rates rose for the seventh straight quarter, hitting a national average high of 3.96 percent in the third quarter of 2008. Credit research company TransUnion LLC, which tracks loan delinquency rates, found the Q3 mortgage loan delinquency rate for borrowers 60 or more days past due rose some 12 percent over the previous quarter. New York’s average delinquency rate was slightly below the national average at 3.28 percent. Locally, Orleans County had the highest Q3 60-day delinquency rate at 4.06 percent. Other counties such as Monroe and Ontario fared better with delinquency rates of 2.33 percent and 1.57 percent, respectively. At 7.82 percent, Florida had the country’s highest delinquency rate.

The Loop

End of dry times

Last Friday marked the 75th anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition, an event that might have slipped by us had Constellation Brands and White Springs Winery in Geneva not lifted their glasses to salute it.
The 21st Amendment uncorked the nation’s beverage alcohol industry-making it possible for Constellation and the Finger Lakes wineries to prosper.
Constellation traces its roots back to the Prohibition era, when CEO Robert Sands’ grandfather, Mordecai “Mack” Sands, joined a New York City-based company that could sell wine because the law allowed the production and sale of alcohol for sacramental purposes.
And while saloons disappeared during Prohibition, drinking establishments did not. One report, cited by a Cato Institute piece in 1991, found the number of speakeasies in Rochester after the start of Prohibition was double the number of saloons before its enactment.
Reminders of that era still exist here. Marge’s Lakeside Inn on Culver Road during the Prohibition Era belonged to George Magin, who ran a speakeasy.
“Magin served his clientele of scofflaws liquor he bootlegged from Canada and beer he brewed in his basement,” the establishment history states.
Further east, in Sodus, you can find Bootleggers Point. Locals say the spot was a hot one for bootleggers bringing their booty across the lake. And Belhurst Castle in Geneva was home to a speakeasy and one owner used it as a convenient dock for liquor runs during Prohibition.
In Fairport, the Henry DeLand House-now known as the Green Lantern Inn-had a speakeasy in the third-floor loft.

Odd couple

Felix Unger and Oscar Madison had nothing over this twosome.
In what even Chuck Schumer’s own press office describes as a “rare pairing” and “odd couple,” New York’s senior senator and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin earned honors as “Heroes of the Year” in Field and Stream magazine’s 2008 Heroes & Villains List.
The senator made the list for pushing a plan to provide millions in outdoor recreation grants to landowners who allow hunting and fishing on their land. Palin, unsuccessful in her bid for the vice presidency, was lauded for being the first true hunter since Teddy Roosevelt to run for U.S. executive office.
Unlike Palin, “the senator’s selection came as a surprise to many gun owners because of his support for gun control over the years,” the magazine states.
The duo was joined on the list of heroes by a motley group, including country music star Miranda Lambert, who took hero of the year; golfer Boo Weekly; and Harry Potter’s Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) and Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy).
The governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger, repeated as the villain of the year.

Plans for River Park Commons signal future growth

With Conifer Realty LLC’s plans for River Park Commons on Mount Hope Avenue now imminent, South Wedge organizers and merchants say they look forward to the property’s extreme makeover and its prospect to spur development nearby.
“This site has been the Achilles heel of the South Wedge for over 30 years, reducing nearby property values and blocking access to the river,” says Christina Jones, president of the Business Association of the South Wedge Area. “The new plan can’t help but be an improvement over the existing development, which is deteriorated and uninhabitable and pretty darned unattractive, to boot.”
Built in 1975 as subsidized housing, River Park Commons will undergo its first phase of demolition this spring. The plan calls for replacing the failing low-rise buildings, significantly refurbishing the existing tower and improving access to the Genesee River.
Conifer’s plan spells good news for the South Wedge, organizers and merchants say. As a triangular parcel of land southeast of Rochester and bordered by the Genesee River on the west and Interstate 490 on the east, the neighborhood has made steady progress in recent years, now boasting numerous businesses, energetic neighborhood groups and an improved streetscape.
Micheal Faucher, broker associate for Nothnagle Realtors, says the neighborhood’s home appreciations have run between 4 and 6 percent a year as of late.
From designs revealed in September, Conifer’s plan for the seven-acre parcel at 185-405 Mount Hope Ave. appears sweeping. Central to the project is the razing of the four low-rise buildings, making way for 130 market-rate and affordable flats and townhouses. The developer will rename those units Erie Harbor.
The adjacent 13-story tower of one- and two-bedroom units will remain, undergoing a major overhaul inside and a prism-like facelift, with 15 colors resurfaced onto the exterior. Installation of new carpeting, cabinetry, bathrooms and energy-efficient features is now under way, requiring tenants to move into furnished vacant units in the building for a week’s time.
The tower, to be called the Hamilton, also will boast new common spaces, such as a community kitchen and exercise, meeting and computer rooms.
Conifer-LeChase Construction LLC, a joint venture between Conifer and Rochester-based LeChase Construction Services LLC, is the project’s builder.
Conifer chairman Richard Crossed expects the project will cost $43 million. The developer has various funding sources, including roughly $2 million from the city of Rochester through a community development federal grant and roughly $3.5 million in low-interest loans from New York State. Because of ongoing and completed environmental cleanup efforts at the site, Conifer also is eligible for brownfield tax credits.
Neighborhood organizers, residents and merchants near the property have voiced their views throughout the redevelopment process, says Robert Boyd, executive director of the South Wedge Planning Committee Inc. Due to written input from more than 300 people, the design now includes improved views, riverfront walkways, porches and more parking.
Boyd adds that Conifer’s dismissal of the initial architect in order to bring on a fresh perspective from Philadelphia-based Barton Partners highlighted the developer’s willingness to accept community feedback.
“This is unheard in the annals of development that when you get to the preliminary (draft environmental impact statement) that you throw out the architect and bring in somebody new,” he says. “That was a major, major play on Conifer’s part.”
Conifer faced several hurdles while pushing the project forward, beginning with a nearly three-year approval delay from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Even though occupancy at River Park hovered at 50 percent in recent years, HUD initially questioned the reduction of affordable units.
“Their regulations didn’t make any distinctions between whether the housing functioned, and provided space and the needs of affordable housing,” Crossed says. “It was just that you couldn’t demolish it unless you were going to replace it one for one.
“So it took us about three years to get the federal government to agree to let us subdivide the site and redevelop it with this plan.”
Scattershot urban renewal efforts that plunked low-income housing on defunct rail yards and industrial sites decades ago helped fuel dysfunction at complexes like River Park, Boyd says.
“There was no frame of reference to the river, to the neighborhood,” in River Park’s case, he notes.
In contrast to the existing configuration of buildings, the Genesee River will play a major role in the new development’s setting.
“All of the (low-rise) units will have patios or balconies that look out and have good views of the river,” Crossed says. Conifer has enlisted the help of the Rochester Housing Authority and the Greater Rochester Housing Partnership to relocate the handful of tenants now remaining in the low-rises, Crossed says. He expects the buildings to be completely vacant by year’s end.
Jennifer Posey, co-owner of Hedonist Artisan Chocolates on South Avenue, says she feels quite positive about Conifer’s project and its potential to bring in more customers.
“I think that it’s been a long road for the development,” adds Posey, who relocated to Rochester from California three years ago. “In fact, before we even moved here our Realtor told us about the development.”
Like Posey, BASWA president Jones sees the project in a positive light.
“By simply bringing 130 more residential units into the neighborhood, all of our businesses will have a larger local population from which to draw business and clients, provided we attract them with our various wares and services,” says Jones, co-owner of Historic Houseparts Inc. on South Avenue and a South Wedge resident and landlord.
“However, if there are traffic or parking issues generated from the development, that might have an adverse effect on some of us. For now, we’ll be optimistic,” she adds.
The South Wedge Planning Committee organization estimates that those new residents could spend millions annually, Boyd says.
“Now how much will be spent in the neighborhood? Who knows?” he says. “But it will be an opportunity for people to shop in the neighborhood and patronize businesses, and that’s very, very important.”
Nothnagle Realtors’ Faucher, who has listings in the South Wedge, says the neighborhood’s residential property values have fared well despite the stalled economy. High home prices in Rochester’s Park Avenue area have spurred buyers to give the South Wedge a second look, and some two- and three-family homes in the neighborhood are now being converted back to single-family residences, he adds.
Faucher predicts that homes near Conifer’s development-specifically those on Mount Hope and Averill avenues-will see somewhat higher appreciation levels.
“But I don’t think it’s going to have a huge impact,” he says.
Some appreciation in the neighborhood has occurred already, mirroring the higher appreciations that happened in Rochester’s Corn Hill neighborhood before the Corn Hill Landing development went up, Faucher says.
Though she would prefer a far less modern and “clinical” design for the residences, South Wedge Business Association’s Jones says she cannot wait for the wrecking ball to arrive.
“I can’t overstate how long the neighborhood has eagerly awaited new development on this site,” she says. “There will likely be a flock of neighbors cheering and toasting with champagne as the old buildings come down.”

Hubbub of activity in the 19th Ward brightens prospects

On a recent Sunday morning, University of Rochester graduate student Christina Kim enjoys a cup of coffee and background jazz on the mezzanine of the newly opened Boulder Coffee Co. on Genesee Street in the city’s 19thWard.
While analyzing data via her laptop computer, Kim, a doctoral candidate in UR’s department of brain and cognitive sciences and linguistics, pauses for a moment to take in her immediate surroundings. The 5,000-square-foot coffee shop-which features hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, comfy couches and a glowing fireplace-opened for business Nov. 10 and already is a magnet for neighborhood residents, according to owner Lyjha Wilton. It is the coffee shop’s second location.
“The 19th Ward definitely is an area of revitalization,” says Kim, a native of Los Angeles and graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who visits the coffee shop frequently with fellow graduate students to do school work. “There’s a whole lot of building going on around here.”
Neighborhood activists, UR officials and area businesspeople concur with Kim’s assessment. They are pleased with the rate of development in the area, some of which has been on the drawing board for more than 20 years.
“This neighborhood is unique because we are a small town within a big city,” says Barbara Sullivan, a registered nurse and president of the 19th Ward Community Association.
“I predict a very bright future for the 19th Ward. You can’t beat the housing prices here, and everyone gets to know their neighbors,” she adds.
Sullivan and her family have lived in the neighborhood since 1974. Currently, she and her husband own a 105-year-old home on Chili Ave.
According to Sullivan, the 19th Ward is bordered by West Avenue to the north, Genesee Street to the east, Scottsville Road to the south and the canal to the west. The neighborhood has experienced a renaissance of commercial activity within the past several years, with additional plans under way.
UR has played a significant role in stimulating development and activity in the area. In August, 398 UR undergraduate students moved into Riverview Apartments, a new complex on Plymouth Avenue, and student feedback about their new home has been positive, says Ronald Paprocki, UR senior vice president for administration and finance and chief financial officer. “Riverview has yielded a high level of satisfaction from our students, and they are interacting on a regular basis with other 19th Ward neighbors through informal get-togethers and by serving as representatives on the Plymouth-Exchange neighborhood group,” Paprocki notes.
Additionally, UR has leased 20,000 square feet of space in Brooks Landing, a 28,000-square-foot office and retail development project, currently under construction. The university plans to move its financial operations group and employment center to that location once the complex is complete.
In March 2008 UR announced a collaborative arrangement with other parties to stimulate home purchases by faculty and staff members within city neighborhoods closest to the River Campus and medical center. Targeted areas for the incentive program are the 19th Ward, Plymouth-Exchange and other neighborhoods on the west side of Rochester in Sector 4. To the east, targeted areas include Highland Park, the South Wedge and other adjacent communities in Sector 6.
This arrangement among the university, city of Rochester, Advantage Federal Credit Union and Canandaigua National Bank and Trust Co. provides up to $9,000 toward purchase of a primary residence. Regular full-time and part-time UR faculty and staff members are eligible to participate in the program, and buyers are not limited by their income.
The university’s benefit is provided through a loan that will be forgiven if a five-year occupancy and certain employment commitments are satisfied. As of the end of October, 19 eligible homebuyers had closed on their properties, Paprocki says.
“We are delighted by all of the activity that is happening within the 19th Ward, and our interests in the neighborhood are intertwined,” he adds. “Five years from now, we are going to see a completely transformed neighborhood.”
Entrepreneur Wilton shares that sentiment. Although his new coffee shop-located across the street from Brooks Landing-just opened a month ago, business already is brisk.
“People are coming in droves, from the city and elsewhere,” Wilton says. “We heard a lot of feedback from 19th Ward neighbors that they were eager to have a place to hang out, have some coffee or a sandwich and hold business meetings. “Being one of the first new businesses to open in a neighborhood is a little intimidating, but we’ve been welcomed with open arms. This is just the beginning.”
In addition to having a new place to eat, visitors to the 19th Ward and adjacent areas now have a new place to stay after the recent opening of Staybridge Suites next door to Brooks Landing. Staybridge Suites is a national chain operated by parent com pany InterContinental Hotels Group based in Atlanta, Ga.
The new property-which features 88 suites-opened Nov. 19, and parents of May 2009 UR graduates-to-be already have booked reservations for graduation weekend, says Paul Rosen, general manager.
“Our target audience includes UR interviewees, prospective Eastman School of Music students and their families, visiting professors and physicians, as well as families of patients at the medical center,” Rosen says. “We are extremely excited to be here because we feel that the 19th Ward is an underdeveloped, untapped market with enormous potential.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better reception from our neighbors, university administrators and city officials.” Longtime neighborhood resident and community leader Sullivan is delighted with the hubbub of activity. She is particularly excited that her son and his family have chosen to put down roots in the neighborhood, after having lived and worked elsewhere.
“This is a vibrant, multicultural neighborhood where neighbors truly care about one another,” she says. “We are living the dream of Martin Luther King Jr.”
