Blackface, photographs, and America’s racism
It started with the news that Virginia Governor Ralph Northam might have been photographed wearing blackface or a KKK hood in college. And then Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, who had said Northam should resign, admitted that he had worn blackface in college. And by last week, reporters at USA Today publications had found more than 200 racist images in yearbooks from the 1970’s and 1980’s, from colleges around the country – including Rochester-area institutions. Students in blackface, in KKK hoods, participating in mock lynchings: blatant, intentional racism, published in yearbooks at educational institutions. As USA Today said, “racist images were everywhere.” Well, how big a deal is this? In most of these cases, the people in the photographs are young people. Many of us did things when we were in college that we’re not proud of now. A lot of the discussion about the photographs has focused on the fact that they were taken 30 or 40 years ago. Should something somebody did in college be a fireable offense now? On a recent “Connections” program on WXXI, former Mayor Bill Johnson, who has been the object of plenty of racist actions, said he would be outraged if he saw a white person in blackface. But, he said, he wouldn’t insist that the person be fired. “I ought to have a right and you ought to have a right to live down our past bad behavior,” he said, “to put our record as adults and our contributions to society.” But Johnson also echoed what a friend of mine had noted recently: the yearbook controversy points to an issue that’s far more serious than racist college pranks. The problem with all of the cries for people to resign, the friend said, is that it lets us treat racism as an individual problem, not a systemic one. And racism is very much a systemic problem. Treating blackface as individual racism, said my friend, denies the history of blackface – and its significance. Blackface was a widely accepted form of entertainment. And it wasn’t innocent, innocuous entertainment; it mocked African Americans. That was its purpose: mockery as entertainment. The people wearing blackface, whether they’ve been Virginia college students or prominent actors, were wrong. But focusing solely on them lets society off the hook.
Calling for people to resign lets us treat racism as an individual problem, not a systemic one. And racism’s a systemic problem. Society – including the college officials who let those yearbooks be published, and the alumni who saw them – was complicit. For decades. And on “Connections,” Johnson referred to a recent opinion piece in the Washington Post, “How Ralph Northam and Others Can Repent of America’s Original Sin,” by the Rev. William Barber, president of the non-profit organization Repairers of the Breach. “Scapegoating politicians who are caught in the act of interpersonal racism,” Barber wrote, “will not address the fundamental issue of systemic racism. We have to talk about policy.” We also have to talk about “trust and power,” Barber said. “If white people in political leadership are truly repentant, they will listen to black and other marginalized people in our society.” And, Barber said, “we cannot allow political enemies of Virginia’s governor to call for his resignation over a photo when they continue themselves to vote for the policies of white supremacy. If anyone wants to call for the governor’s resignation, they should also call for the resignation of anyone who has supported racist voter suppression or policies that have a disparate impact on communities of color.” As news events show every day, we’re a very long way from doing that. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Police union’s views must be taken into account
From 1980 to 2000, I worked for the Rochester Police Department as a “civilian” (non-police officer) administrator. My duties included participation, on the management side, in contract negotiations with the Police Locust Club, the recognized bargaining agent for non-management sworn police personnel. One of the major recurring issues in these negotiations was discipline of police union members, which was recognized as a “term and condition of employment” under the Taylor Law that governs public collective bargaining. Methods of administering discipline, extent of penalties, and representative rights of officers accused of infractions were all subject to collective bargaining and were embodied in resulting labor contracts. After reading CITY’s report on the interview with Locust Club President Mazzeo and reviewing the draft legislation before City Council, I don’t see how City Council, or the administration, can unilaterally, radically change current disciplinary procedures – which may well be unsatisfactory, from several points of 4 CITY
view – without conducting discussions, at a minimum, with the police union. I hold no brief for the Locust Club; my experience was that their tactics were sometimes less than forthright, their style approaching intimidation. Contract negotiations several times reached impasse, and state mediators were called in. One thing the Locust Club disliked was “civilian review” in almost any form. The mild form that existed, through the Center for Dispute Settlement, was criticized and mischaracterized. Judging by the interview with Mazzeo, that attitude continues. The proposed City Council procedure, in which power is given to a board partially designated by citizen groups openly advocating stricter curbs on police behavior, is sure to be perceived as threatening by the union. It’s probably hopeless to try to design a review procedure that the Locust Club approves and that also meets the objectives of members of the Police Accountability Board Alliance. The most that can be achieved might be grudging acceptance; more likely is a prolonged court battle under provisions of the Taylor Law – which, in my experience, has generally been interpreted from a prounion perspective. The Council, and the public, must accept that public employee unions exist to represent the interests of their members, however much we might wish them to be “public spirited.” The unions’ rights and views must be taken into account if a major public-policy change affecting “terms and conditions of employment” is to be successfully implemented.
FEBRUARY 27 - MARCH 5, 2019
If it is correct that no effort has been made to involve the Locust Club in developing the proposed Police Accountability Board, that will likely lead to legal resistance and significant delay, if not defeat; challenge to any action the proposed board takes; and perceived lack of legitimacy on the part of the officers whose actions the Board is supposed to oversee. Not a recipe for success, IMHO. ALLEN HOPKINS
Next steps for city schools
I enjoyed reading the varied opinions of those writing on “Education Means Emancipation.” Having been active in many sections of education in Rochester – teacher, administrator, facilitator, consultant, trouble shooter, court master, community advocate, and parent – I applaud both these opinions and the analysis of the district’s problems by Jaime Aquino’s. In all of my roles I found most true Aquino’s statement that the district is organized more around the satisfaction of adults than the education of children. The statements by all contributors were well presented. What now needs to happen is for there to be, in every segment of the community, discussion of the report and strategic facilitation of how each of us, in whatever role we play, can be part of the solvers of the problems. The board needs to address how it can become more responsible in carrying out its constitutional responsibilities and support the work of the superintendent through clear expectation setting, evaluation, and resource allocation for 22nd-century methods and materials.
Administrators need to provide the inspiration and guidance for schools. Teachers need to focus on developing the minds and “hearts” of students and themselves in a learning community. Parents must support their student in providing safe, secure, and encouraging inspiration and expectations for their children. Students must, as Frederick Douglass did, resist the temptation of slavery of the mind and pursue learning at all costs. All others need to provide the community support and not hide behind the poverty level or any other descriptors. It truly does take this village and its surrounding supports to raise our children.

The ‘who’ behind Whole Foods opposition
The February 20 CITY contained a reader’s letter titled “Who’s behind the Opposition to Whole Foods?” questioning payment for the ad we recently ran. The simple answer to “who’s behind the paid advertisement” is stated in the advertisement: Brighton Grassroots Referendum Committee paid for the ad. The donations contributed to Brighton Grassroots Referendum Committee are publicly disclosed information accessible on
the New York Board of Elections website, www. elections.ny.gov. Brighton Grassroots Referendum Committee is a community-based organization focused on allowing Brighton registered voters to sign a petition forcing a vote to decide if the Town of Brighton should convey public recreation land to help build the oversized Whole Foods - Amazon - 20 Retail Store Plaza. The vote will allow the residents of Brighton to decide if the town’s approach of giving incentive zoning and special tax breaks and creating increased traffic congestion to Monroe Avenue is what we want. We can decide if we want our public recreation land conveyed to allow for the oversized plaza – putting a stop to the town’s misguided plan. Using the incentive zoning “loophole,” the town officials are allowing three acres of residential land to be added to the seven acres of commercial land, therefore approving the oversized plaza. Do we really want a Whole FoodsAmazon store, Starbuck’s drive-thru, a strip plaza with 16 to 18 specialty retailers, and potentially two to three other restaurants plus all the traffic congestion? If the referendum is successful in defeating the conveyance, the developer can build a beautiful plaza adhering to town Zoning Code. Let’s minimize the increased traffic on Monroe Avenue, not maximize the traffic and congestion. For more information, please go to https:// bgrreferendum.org. HOWIE JACOBSON

RPO 2019-2020 season brings fresh programming The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra has announced its 2019-20 Philharmonics and Pops series, and the contrast between the upcoming season and the current, conservatively programmed one couldn’t be more clear. Next year’s features a meticulously crafted blend of beloved, heavyweight composers and fresh, new-to-theRPO works from the 20th and 21st centuries. Music Director Ward Stare and company begin the season auspiciously on September 19 and 21 with the RPO’s first collaboration with the Rochester Fringe Festival, in a program exclusively featuring living composers: Guggenheim fellow Cindy McTee; the up-and-coming, 2019 Grammy-winning Mason Bates; and two of the most prominent standard-bearers in contemporary music, Steve Reich and John Adams. The latter composer’s contribution to the program, “Scheherazade.2,” features the RPO return of the violinist Leila Josefowicz as the musical embodiment of the title character. The piece seeks to recontextualize the story in the #MeToo era. In its celebration of female empowerment, the RPO also celebrates Rochester history and its role in the Women’s Suffrage movement, in light of the 19th Amendment’s centennial in 2020. In the program “Women’s Suffrage: Past and Present” on January 30 and February 1, Stare conducts a world premiere by a rising female composer, yet to be named, alongside a new dramatic work, set to music, about impactful local women by the playwright Mark Mobley. On February 6 and 8, Stare’s annual opera-in-concert presentation turns to 1947’s “The Mother of Us All,” composer-critic Virgil Thomson and writer Gertrude Stein’s ode to Susan B. Anthony. Throughout the season, under-performed works by female composers are highlighted alongside more familiar, canonic compositions. The concerts on October 31 and November 2 feature two pieces by Lili Boulanger, continues on page 9

McFadden faces federal charges
City Council Vice President Adam McFadden faces federal charges of wire fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering. FILE PHOTO
Rochester City Councilmember Adam McFadden was charged with four counts of wire fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering in US federal court on Friday, related to an investigation into the Rochester Housing Authority and a non-profit called Rochester Housing Charities, a subsidiary of RHA. Former Housing Authority board chair George Moses was arrested on similar charges four months ago and was accused of lying to the FBI in its investigation. “In a nutshell,” FBI special agent Gary Loeffert said, “the defendants caused the Rochester Housing Charities, which was created to advance the purposes of the RHA, to enter into a contract that would secretly benefit Mr. McFadden.” Moses and McFadden have pleaded not guilty. McFadden, who represents the southwest district on City Council and is Council’s vice president, had been seeking re-election. But he said on Monday that he had decided not to run again. He is Council’s longest-serving member and had been

designated earlier this month as the party’s candidate for the seat, without opposition. Monroe County Democratic Committee spokesperson Briana Scott said the party’s executive committee will vote on a new candidate. No date for that has been set yet, she said. McFadden has also been the leader of the city’s 27th Legislative District Democratic Committee; it’s not clear whether he’ll remain in that position. The complaint against McFadden alleges that between October 2014 and December 2015, Rochester Housing Charities entered into a contract with Washington DC-based Capital Connection Partners for consulting services. But the services were never performed, the complaint alleges. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing. The two counts of wire fraud have a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison each; the two counts of money laundering, up to 10 years each.
It’s not always clear who speaks for residents of a neighborhood at City Council or Zoning Board meetings. But when the city tried to come up with a way to deal with the problem and wrote a set of guidelines, things got tense.
NEIGHBORHOODS | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
City neighborhood group ‘guidelines’ set off alarm Neighborhood groups and government officials are often at odds, especially when it comes to development proposals. And to complicate matters, it’s not always clear who speaks for residents of a neighborhood in dealings with the city. At City Council or Zoning Board meetings, residents may say they’re speaking on behalf of a neighborhood they don’t live in, or they may have a viewpoint that doesn’t reflect that of most other residents. But when the city tried to come up with a way to deal with the problem, things got tense. A city document titled “Neighborhood Associations Guidelines,” which was discussed at a board meeting of the coalition Many Neighbors Building Neighborhoods about two weeks ago, resulted in anger among some neighborhood association leaders and residents. The guidelines define what the city will recognize as a neighborhood association, what the leadership of an “official” association should consist of, and how the group should operate. Instead of bringing clarity to how the city will work with neighborhood groups, the guidelines seemed to raise questions and even a bit of suspicion about the city’s motives. “We don’t know exactly what they want the guidelines for,” MNBN chair Jonathan Hardin said last week. The organization has
about 30 neighborhood associations and block clubs from all over the city under its umbrella. A big concern, Hardin said, is that the guidelines may serve to suppress citizen engagement instead of encouraging more of it. For instance, only the presidents of officially designated associations, or their designee, will be invited to the city’s monthly Neighborhood Association President’s meeting, according to the guidelines. That could make it more difficult for smaller neighborhood groups to meet directly with officials from the city’s Department of Neighborhood and Business Development, Hardin said. Of the seven neighborhood associations in the northwest section of the city where Hardin lives, only four would meet the criteria for official designation, he said. City officials insist that the set of guidelines MNBN received at its February meeting was only a draft, intended to begin a conversation. It’s not a resolution headed to City Council for a vote, Deputy Mayor James Smith said. And the city is not trying to inhibit people from being engaged in their neighborhoods, he said. However, Smith said, some formal guidelines are needed. “We’ve had situations with competing individuals claiming they represent the same neighborhood,” he said.
“This puts us in a terrible spot.” Guidelines are especially important when the city is providing grants for neighborhood improvement.

DEVELOPMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE
Businesses tap into Fairport’s food heritage By the time Scott Denhart started looking for a place in the Rochester area to start a brewery, he’d already developed an idea of the type of space he wanted. He’d visited breweries across the country and had decided that a warehousestyle space would best suit his needs. At first, he looked in the City of Rochester and even found a couple of potential locations, but they didn’t work out. A transplant to Rochester and a Brighton resident, he’d become familiar with Fairport through visits to restaurants and attending some of the events in the village, including the popular and packed Fairport Canal Days. He started scoping out the village for potential brewery space and one day as he drove through, he saw the front of the American Can factory and a real-estate sign in front of it. He looked into the space and found out it was only available for sale; he wanted to lease. But he also knew Iron Smoke Distillery was already in the building, so he reached out to staff at Fairport Village Hall, found out who owned that half of the old factory, and he ultimately secured space right next door to Iron Smoke. Denhart opened Triphammer Bierwerks in 2016 and the 7,900 square-foot brewery and tasting room now runs a 15-barrel brewing system capable of producing 3,000 barrels of beer a year, Denhart says. That’s the equivalent of 6,000 kegs. “The village was a definite plus,” Denhart says. “This building with the tall ceilings and the interesting history was a definite plus.” But Triphammer’s backstory is part of a bigger picture. The Village of Fairport has a history of food manufacturing, and the brewery is one of several small businesses that are re-envisioning and rekindling that past. The whiskey produced at Iron Smoke is part of it, as are the baked goods made by Amazing Grains and the coffee roasted by FairPour. Fairport Brewing Company started producing beer in the village in 2012, but recently moved its production to the City of Rochester; it still operates a very popular tasting room on South Main Street. Historically, the village was home not just to the can company, but also to milling, distilling, and vinegar-making businesses, says Martha Malone, executive director of the Fairport Office of Community and Economic Development. The DeLand company, which long ago was absorbed by a bigger corporation, was one of the first baking soda manufacturers in the US. Interestingly enough, the new crop of food manufacturing businesses in Fairport are, 8 CITY

without exception, reusing the spaces built or once occupied by the old ones. Triphammer and Iron Smoke may be joined in the can factory by a new, Germanstyle brewery. It’s part of a proposal to redevelop the front half of the building, which has a different owner than the back half. FairPour’s cafe is located in the Box Factory complex on Main Street, which used to be home to the DeLand company. Its coffee roasting and kombucha-making operations, as well as Amazing Grain’s bakery and shop, are located in the Canal Works complex on Turk Hill Road, which once served as a warehouse for fruits and vegetables that were loaded onto Erie Canal boats. “We have a unique inventory of properties, I believe, which offers opportunities for smallscale manufacturing spaces, for solopreneurs,” Malone says. On a summer Saturday, Amazing Grains bakes
more than 1,200 loaves of its popular salty bread alone, says owner Lisa Wiggins. That figure includes loaves sold in its own store, at the Fairport Farmers Market, and through wholesale accounts, she says. And the bakery also produces other breads, cupcakes, pastries, cookies, and more. Amazing Grains opened in January 2016, and at the time, Wiggins and her husband Brandon intended it to be a one-day-a-week thing. They wanted to start the business in Fairport, and they found a small, affordable space in Canal Works that had previously been a gluten-free bakery. “We thought, ‘It’s perfect, a tiny little spot for one day a week for just the two of us,’ so that’s why we went there,” Wiggins says. “It turned into something completely different.” Word of mouth – a powerful force in villages – helped the business grow quickly. It’s now open Tuesday through Saturday and counts Oak Hill Country Club and the prestigious FLX Table restaurant in Geneva among its 80 wholesale clients. The business has already expanded its space once, and it plans to add on to the retail area this spring, Wiggins says. FairPour is also looking to get into wholesale for roasted coffee and its own kombucha, both of which owner Mike Infarinato makes at the space in Canal Works. Its South Main Street cafe is selling its own brand of roasted beans – as well as coffee produced from them – and has its kombucha on tap at its South Main Street cafe. As Infarinato gets a better handle on roasting and ramps up kombucha production, he plans to hire someone to handle outside sales, he says.

He also plans to install bottling and canning machines for the kombucha and for nitro cold brew coffee. Infarinato is growing the business in Fairport for a several reasons. He sees demand for locally crafted products among the village community, especially younger people who’ve moved to the village after living in the city. But he says he’s also encouraged by the collaborative spirit of village businesses, the support he sees from village officials, and the support he’s received from FairPour’s customers. Fairport is “ a community that really stands behind small businesses,” Infarinato says.
Direct retail, it turns out, is important for FairPour and the rest of Fairport’s new cluster of food producers. For Amazing Grains, retail customers help expose potential wholesale customers to the company’s baked goods, and vice versa, Wiggins says. Iron Smoke’s spirits are available in liquor stores and bars across the region, but it opened its Watering Room last year. For craft breweries like Triphammer, selling beer directly through tasting rooms is essential to the business’s success. The brewery has a wholesale business, and it cans two of its beers for sale in stores; they’re available in 15 counties between the Rochester and Buffalo and regions,

Food continues from page 8
Denhart says. But the profit margin for on-site pint sales is higher. “It’s almost needed, or if not, you have to sell a lot of beer,” Denhart says. But retail’s success depends on getting people in the door. Wiggins and Denhart both laud the many events in the village, which they say help boost Fairport’s profile and their business. Triphammer’s best days, sales-wise, have been during Fairport Canal Days, Denhart says. The village’s walkability, something prized by every part of the community, is also a major asset, they say. People who live, work, and visit the village often stroll around, which helps bring foot traffic into the businesses, they say. Fairport Mayor Julie Domaratz says she expects walkability will be a big theme in a forthcoming update of the village’s comprehensive plan, which will start later this this year. Comprehensive plans focus on communities’ priorities and generally serve as a set of guiding principles for development and government decision-making. Domaratz just started her term in January, but as she went door to door during her campaign, residents repeatedly spoke about how a walkable village was important to them. They want to make sure that the village remains easy to get around without driving, she says. The village’s Office of Community and Economic Development has also received state grants for some improvements along the canal, including boat slips, a boardwalk, and accessibility improvements along the southwest bank, as well as some changes to better connect Liftbridge Lane and the canal’s northwest bank. Fairport officials and businesses say that ensuring the village is a pleasant and interesting place to visit and walk around helps business thrive. And the “diversity of experience” offered by the different food and beverage businesses help to that end, Malone says. Villages can’t thrive just on bars and restaurants, Domaratz says. But she adds that food and beverage producers have their own niche. They’re destinations, just as restaurants are, and they’re manufacturers who are selling products beyond the village’s borders, Domaratz says. In the process, they’re creating a few jobs. “Small business is really important to a village like this,” Domaratz says.

THE IRISH SPORT TAKES ROOT IN ROCHESTER SPORTS | BY BRIAN GORDON
hen Jessica Frey stumbled upon this game four years ago, she was captivated. Yes, its name sounded like slang for “vomiting,” but it seemed so all-encompassing, so many athletic elements thrown into one rich sports stew. The funky swing – with dominant hand positioned below the other – reminded her of playing varsity field hockey at East Irondequoit. She was a goalie in high school, but with this game she could run. And run. Hurling’s reputation as the world’s fastest game on grass held true. “All my cravings for what a sport should be, that’s what this was,” Frey says. Hurling, a millennium-old Gaelic field sport, has returned to Rochester.
10 CITY FEBRUARY 27 - MARCH 5, 2019
A local group is shepherding the sport with hopes of rapid expansion. Roc City Hurling began in 2014, when two brothers needed to convince their third brother, an avid hurler, to move from Milwaukee to Rochester. The club has gone from three active members to 40 in the seasons since, drawing on the city’s robust lacrosse, hockey, and soccer talent and Irish heritage to grow this singular game. “People who watch it get that initial response of like, what is going on?” Frey says. In hurling, two teams of 15 players vie to strike a leather-wrapped cork ball, called a sliotar, toward opposing H-shaped goal posts. Arcing the sliotar over the H scores one point, while getting the ball through the goalie-guarded bottom posts nets three points. Each player uses a stick, called a hurley, to pass the sliotar on the ground and through the air. Ending in a small oval platform, the hurley looks like a primitive golf club or perhaps an inefficient canoe paddle. Hurlers carry the sliotar by hand for up to four steps or four seconds at a time. Then if players wish to retain control, they bounce or balance the sliotar on the hurley’s flat club face, like an egg-on-a-spoon race. Goals are scored with the hurley and at close range, by foot.
Hurling and its sister sport camogie (a women’s version with very similar rules) echo more familiar games – the sticks of lacrosse, the swings of baseball, the physicality of rugby and the fluidity (and occasional kicking) of soccer. They possess an amalgamation of relatable characteristics, the sporting equivalent of a Turducken. With roots in Irish mythology (the game predates the recorded history of Ireland), hurling is tethered to its country’s identity. The annual All-Ireland Hurling Championship is Ireland’s equivalent of the Super Bowl. “The game of hurling became one of the great symbols of distinction between the Irish and the rest of the world,” wrote Irish writer Paul Rouse. Hurling and camogie are governed by the Gaelic Athletic Association, a seminationalized body that oversees hurling leagues across 32 counties in Ireland as well as international leagues in Australia, Continental Europe, and America. Roc City Hurling joined the GAA last summer, and through the GAA, taxpayers in Ireland partially fund the group. Roc City spends money back: Every hurley and sliotar is imported from across the Atlantic. Promoting hurling, the Irish government reasons, is promoting Ireland.

The Irish, and thus hurling, have been in
Rochester since Rochester began. In March 1817, Rochesterville was incorporated. Three months later, construction began on the Erie Canal, which brought in Irish workers. In the mid-1800’s, the Great Famine drove thousands more Irish to Western New York. By the end of the 19th century, IrishAmerican societies hosted hurling exhibitions for a curious public. A 1903 article in the Democrat and Chronicle predicted that hurling “will hold as popular a place in the minds of lovers of sport as football does at the present time.” While subsequent decades proved this forecast absurd, organized hurling did endure. The all-amateur Rochester Harps formed in 1950. Of the 22 players on the Harps’ 1954 roster, 19 were born in Ireland and three were Rochester natives. The Harps competed against the likes of the Syracuse Shamrocks and Buffalo Gaels in the New York State Gaelic Association, hosting matches at Edgerton Park and later Genesee Valley Park. The Harps claimed multiple titles before dissolving in the 1970’s. Local hurling lay fallow for decades until Roc City came along. Unlike the 1954 Harps, the current club has only three Irish-born members. The shift toward American players highlights the game’s global reach. Hurling is still distinctly Irish, but less exclusive to Ireland. Midfielder Andrew Thomas encountered hurling while traveling abroad and wanted to check it out
in the States. Others heard about the club from friends or wanted to try the game that their Irish grandparents had talked about. In recent years, the GAA moved further beyond the traditional hubs of the Irish diaspora – Chicago, Milwaukee, Boston, and New York – and today funds more than 100 clubs in 10 divisions. The Roc City calendar is split between summer and winter seasons. Summer matches – men’s hurling, co-ed hurling, and women’s camogie – are held at Aardvark Park in Henrietta. When the weather turns, the club moves to the turf of Total Sports Experience in East Rochester for informal scrimmages. Skill-levels run the gamut, from those of lifelong Irish players to first-timers looking to join something new. “We purposely set out to create a community around a sport that people would learn, not to do a sport that may have a community at some point,” says Bill McGuire, president of Roc City Hurling and one of the club’s founding brothers. “And I think that’s the difference. I didn’t touch a hurley until I was 34 and I somehow ended up president of the club.” Scrimmages take on the casual vibe of a dodgeball league, with comradery trumping competition. Cheers drown arguments. The goalie lost a bet and now plays (surprisingly well) in a traditional kilt. Club members meet up for drinks post-scrimmages at a rotating cast of sponsor bars including The Angry Goat and Johnny’s Irish Pub. Yet the physical exertion of hurling goes beyond a typical beer league. Under every helmet is a flushed face. The game is rarely paused, and only substitutions and halftime offer respites from perpetual pursuits. Top players can smack the sliotar

75 yards at any time down a pitch longer than a football field. “I’ve yet to meet someone that shows up and has not felt overwhelmed by it within 30 minutes,” said Neville Morgan, who emigrated to Rochester from his hometown of Limerick, Ireland, in 2010. “But then after just getting out there and letting loose, they all fall in love.”
Last summer, Roc City officially joined the GAA’s Midwest Division. The men’s travel team completed home-and-away series against clubs from Akron and Pittsburgh, and the initial results betrayed their inexperience. “Bumpy is a good word for it,” Thomas says, “because we got bumped around a lot.” The first game ended in a 40-point loss. The other teams were bigger and younger, with median ages in the 20’s. Akron and Pittsburgh positioned faster players in the center and rapidly cycled through substitutes for rest. Roc City licked their wounds and learned. “We got schooled very quickly,” Morgan says. “After that, it wasn’t a problem. We earned a lot of respect the second time through the schedule.” With rising women’s participation, Roc City looks to field its own GAA camogie team. For now, the women who want to compete in travel leagues link up with the camogie teams of other cities. “The ladies are growing their side of the roster at a very rapid rate,” Morgan says. In the rut of the post-2008 recession, Morgan joined many of his countrymen who left Ireland to find better employment. “Our economy has crashed many times throughout our history,” he says. “The Irish tend to spread their wings and fly to where we can make a living and create a life for our families.” After landing in Rochester with a management role at TGI Fridays, Morgan joined Roc City during its inaugural
season. He stored his wooden hurleys in the bathroom to keep them from cracking in the cold. As one of the few players who grew up around hurling, Morgan gave impromptu lessons on subtle techniques: hand placements, positioning, and body control. The trick to offense, he told other team members, is to actually play closer to your opponent. By the end of the first season, he was an honorary coach. In May of the second season, Morgan noticed a newcomer with reddish-brown hair named Jessica Frey. “We were sitting by the pitch getting ready to play,” Morgan says. “By that time, there still weren’t many females playing, so she caught my eye.” Morgan was quick to help Frey with her swing mechanics. Frey reciprocated with the hesitant signs of a crush, sparking conversations and sharing jokes with the Irish bloke who knew more about hurley than anyone she’d ever met. “I pursued him more than anything,” Frey says. Two months of practice banter led to dating, which led to a New Year’s Day proposal in 2018. The wedding is in May with a later celebration scheduled in Ireland. Frey and Morgan left an open invitation to their Roc City teammates, and so far, 12 have agreed to make the 3000-mile trip. Their marriage embodies hurling and camogie as Ireland’s finest global ambassadors. The party will be held in a hurling stadium. “Our only arguments center on hurling,” Frey says. “Who should have been in that position and who should have made that tackle.” St. Patrick’s Days, the 4th of July, and Christmases intertwine with the game that brought them together. They go holiday caroling with the hurling club. “For me, hurling has played an intricate role in understanding his culture,” Frey says. Every player in Ireland, even the best, is an amateur, earning no pay for the performance on the field. That means each county supports its native players, its neighbors, toward collective athletic ambitions. The provincial origins of hurling and camogie bleed into the club. “We talk about clans a lot back home,” Morgan said. “Well, Roc City Hurling is one big clan.”

A royal feast Royal of India 300 PARK POINT DAILY, 11:30 A.M. TO 3 P.M. & 5 TO 10 P.M. 360-4418, ROYALOFINDIA.COM [ REVIEW ] BY CHRIS THOMPSON
I went on a gastronomic adventure the other day. I was already eager to visit Royal of India in Park Point, not just because I enjoy heading to the plaza anyway for music and books, or because it’s nice to see the previously empty space opened up again. I just really like Indian food. Royal of India occupies a space where Asian fusion Wok With Me Too was, and it was a shame that it closed down. The first thing I noticed about Royal upon entering is that through the dining area is that it seems warmer than before, the lighting had not changed much. The walls are repainted a muted dandelion hue with merlot trim and accents. The new color scheme paired with the mahogany-stained lacquered tables contribute to the room feeling dark and cozy, though the dining area is as expansive and
plentiful as it was before. And the vibe of the place just feels brighter, because owners Nobin and Anisha Chuhan ensure that someone greets you at the door immediately, so everyone instantly feels like they are welcome. Nobin started me with some papadum (oven baked flat flour chips) ($1) with tamarind and mint chutneys and soon returned with vegetable samosas ($2.99). I tried my best to not devour all of these appetizers at once. After all, I had more entrees to sample. Alas, they were so good, and my will was weak. The papadum is light in texture, yet it is full of flavor, not just salty. Though deep fried, the vegetable samosas did not bleed oil on anything they touched. They were packed with vegetables, and dipping them in the tamarind chutney gave them a sweet-hot taste that I’ll yearn for until the next time I visit. Next, Anisha brought out something I’d never seen in an Indian restaurant: chicken momo ($9.99; vegetable momo are also available). These are a set of six steamed dumplings stuffed with Nepali-seasoned
chicken, and served with a spicy tomato sesame sauce. The dumplings and the sauce are both Anisha’s own recipe. The chicken inside was so juicy, it nearly melted in my mouth. Again, I attempted to not eat all of them at once, and again, I consumed all of them. Finally, Nobin provided me with three standard Indian restauarant dishes: aloo gobi ($10.99), palak paneer ($11.99), and chicken makhani ($12.99). The aloo gobi is a cauliflower potato medley sautéed with garlic, tomato, ginger, and other spices. Palak paneer includes cubed cheese mixed in a sautéed spinach and onion cream sauce. Chicken makhani is cubed chicken breasts in a sweet, creamy tomato sauce. All of these were accompanied with basmati rice and house-made garlic naan ($2.99). I will admit that I ate too much. I inhaled nearly all of the food I ordered, not out of gluttony, but out of enjoying the taste of everything put before me. The food here is so good, it was difficult to leave some to take home. Okay, I may be a little bit gluttonous.
Yes, there are quite a few Indian restaurants in Henrietta, including the only local fast-casual Indian venue that I know about. They do have similar staple menu options that Royal of India offers. But the chicken and vegetable momo, along with a Nepali-spiced chicken or vegetable chow mein and thukpa (a boiled noodle soup with Indian spices), makes them stand out. Their menu is expansive, almost intimidating. Fortunately, if you wish to sample a variety of things at one time, Royal of India offers a weekday lunch buffet from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. ($10.99), a larger weekend lunch buffet ($11.99), and a special Wednesday dinner buffet ($12.99). The buffet contents always rotate, so you can feasibly sample everything on the menu if you frequent the place. And there are always gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options available. You, too, can eat like I did, but perhaps not all at once like I did.

Musica Nova with George Lewis MONDAY, MARCH 4 KILBOURN HALL AT EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC, 26 GIBBS STREET 7:30 P.M. | FREE | ESM.ROCHESTER.EDU [ MODERN CLASSICAL ] On Monday, Musica Nova welcomes George Lewis as guest composer for a program centered on his eclectic and cathartic works. The Eastman School of Music’s contemporary classical chamber ensemble, conducted in this program by Edo Frenkel, is well-suited to Lewis’s ecstatically noisy aesthetic. Don’t be fooled, though: There’s plenty of control to the chaos, with clever lyricism subtly embedded in the phrases. Musica Nova will perform the stormy, orchestral dreamscape that is “The Will to Adorn” and the explosive, spoken-word experiment “Anthem,” among other pieces. The music may be avant-garde, but that doesn’t make it any less engaging. — BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER
Rochester’s noisiest garage rock quartet Fuzzrod is causing a ruckus with its self-titled, full-length debut, released on February 22. “Fuzzrod” dishes out high-powered party music rampant with antiauthoritarian anthems. Songs like “Baby” and Fuck Work” are about living irresponsibly and carefree, while “Yes Means Yes” uses youthfully simplistic lyrics to shed light on the complicated issue of consent. Fuzzrod picks up where the discontinued Pony Hand left off – featuring that band’s Karrah Teague on vocals and guitar and Brandon Henahan playing bass and sax. The lineup is rounded out by guitarist and vocalist Phil Shaw and drummer-organist Stephen Roessner, who also recorded, mixed and mastered the album. From angst-ridden head-bangers like “Dum” and “2nd Grade” to more psychedelic , synth-tinged tunes like “Pretty” and “Floating Eye,” Fuzzrod smashes garage rock together with elements of post-punk, trash-pop, and metal. — BY KATIE HALLIGAN
Brittany Anjou
‘Enamiĝo Reciprokataj’ Origin Records brittanyanjou.com
If the title of pianist Brittany Anjou’s excellent new CD seems unfamiliar, it’s because “Enamiĝo Reciprokataj” means “Reciprocal Love” in Esperanto – the would-be international language invented in 1887. That didn’t quite work out, but Anjou, who views Esperanto as a “psychic dream,” learned the language anyway, finding it useful in her travels around the world. Playing with a distinctive blend of rhythmic and melodic keyboard prowess, Anjou possesses a style reminiscent of piano greats like Ahmad Jamal, Don Pullen and McCoy Tyner. Anjou’s 10 original compositions are fiercely unpredictable, flowing smoothly like a brook or crashing percussively like a waterfall. Most of the tracks feature the strong support of Gregory Chudzik on bass and Nicholas Anderson on drums. Bassist Ari Folman-Cohen and drummer Ben Perowsky guest on “Reciprokataj V: Flowery Distress.” — BY RON NETSKY

RPO Music Director Ward Stare says first-time listeners to Mahler’s Seventh Symphony should “embrace the weirdness.” PHOTO PROVIDED
Bitter, sweet symphonies Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra ‘MAHLER 7’: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 7:30 P.M.; SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 8 P.M. ‘SHOSTAKOVICH 10’: THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 7:30 P.M.; SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 8 P.M. KODAK HALL AT EASTMAN THEATRE, 26 GIBBS STREET $24-$106 | RPO.ORG [ FEATURE ] BY DAVID RAYMOND
Ward Stare returns to the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra next week, and the music director has a couple of ambitious concerts planned. On February 28 and March 2, he’ll essay Gustav Mahler’s enormous Symphony No. 7 for the first time; and on March 7 and 9, he’ll highlight a later 20thcentury masterpiece, Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 10. These rewarding compositions demand a lot from the musicians and the audience, but the composers who wrote them mean a lot to Stare. 18 CITY FEBRUARY 27 - MARCH 5, 2019
With the upcoming performance of Symphony No. 7, Stare is continuing his annual exploration of Mahler’s symphonies with the RPO. It began in 2017 with Symphony No. 5, and continued last year with Symphony No. 4. Those are among Mahler’s most popular works, but his Seventh Symphony something else entirely. The orchestra is lavish, even for Mahler: the “extras” include a tenor horn (something like a flügelhorn), a guitar, a mandolin, and several cowbells (a favorite percussion sound of the composer). Symphony No. 7 is hardly an RPO staple: The orchestra performed it in the 1950’s under Erich Leinsdorf, and under David Zinman in 1982. However, 37 years later, it may have been worth the wait. “To me, this is the most Mahlerian of Mahler’s symphonies – dark, moody, weird,” says Stare. “In it you get all the quirks of his superstitious personality.” Symphony No. 7 was written in 1904 and 1905. By the time it was first performed in 1908, Mahler’s life was upended: He had resigned as director of the Vienna Opera, one of his young daughters had
died, and he was ill with an undiagnosed heart disease. Mahler died in 1911, at the age of 50. “The Seventh, particularly the finale, can sound very disjointed,” Stare admits. “The challenge for the conductor is to thread the needle, to make all these nightmarish, nocturnal sounds linear and logical.” Stare also says the symphony is “an amazing world of sound. Studying it is a never-ending journey. Mahler maintains this emotional ambiguity throughout the entire piece – even in the last note.” Until now, Stare has never conducted Mahler’s Symphony No. 7; he adds that most of the RPO musicians have never performed it, either, and they’re just as excited about rehearsing and performing it as he is. “It’s an unusual work,” he says, “but it is a lot of fun for the players. Mahler leaves no stone unturned in his orchestration. The more you listen, the more you hear.” Stare’s advice to anyone encountering to Mahler’s Seventh Symphony for the first time: “It’s a weird symphony. Embrace the weirdness.”
taking it easy after performing Mahler’s huge, demanding work, but they’re back next week on March 7 and 9 with another huge, demanding work: Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony, coupled very appropriately with the Sibelius Violin Concerto, played by Augustin Hadelich – Musical America’s 2018 Instrumentalist of the Year. Shostakovich was the Soviet Union’s most brilliant young composer until the late 1930’s, when Joseph Stalin took a dislike to his opera “Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk.” Suddenly, the brilliant young composer feared for his life. He rehabilitated himself with his Fifth Symphony, still his most famous work, but was attacked again as an unpatriotic “formalist” by Stalin after World War II. Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony appeared in 1953, the year of Stalin’s death, when the composer could breathe a bit easier. Unlike Mahler’s Seventh Symphony, Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony was an immediate hit, in the Soviet Union and everywhere else. The brief second movement may or may not be a portrait of Stalin, Shostakovich’s long-time tormentor. “It’s definitely not a joy ride,” Stare says. “This is music by a man in a perpetual state of fear and anxiety, music of dark hallways and living in an atmosphere in which you can be declared a ‘non-person’ at any time.” The symphonies of Shostakovich haven’t turned up often in RPO performance history. But if you’re a fan of this 20thcentury Russian master, you have an ally in Stare. He has done Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony and the deceptively lighter Ninth Symphony previously with the RPO; for the 2019-20 season, he will lead the orchestra in the composer’s Symphony No. 11, nicknamed “The Year 1905.” “I adore every single one of Shostakovich’s symphonies,” he says. He also recommends listening to the composer’s 15 string quartets. “Shostakovich’s music can be hard to read,” says Stare. “This is a man who, to be honest, wrote a lot of schlocky music like film scores, simply in order to survive. But in works like the Tenth Symphony, or the Fifth Quartet from about the same time, he was able to stand up for himself and create astonishing art.” Visit rochestercitynewspaper.com on Friday for a review of the RPO’s February 28 performance.

FOLK ROCK | BIG BLUE HOUSE
Big Blue House paints countrified Americana with a smooth, jazzy brush. But the trio’s hard to pin down when looking to what drives them. Is it Brian Burley’s no-nonsense voice and strident guitar? Is it Bob DeRosa’s thump-and-swing on the bass? Or is it Harvey Possemato’ beautiful electric guitar as it fills in the cracks while creating new ones. I tell you one thing that’ll get you: the way Big Blue House mashes up Johnny Cash with The Who, singing the words to “Pinball Wizard” over “Folsom Prison Blues.” Righteous.

Toni DiBuono and Susanne Marley in Geva Theatre Center’s production of “The Humans.” PHOTO BY GOAT FACTORY MEDIA ENTERTAINMENT
Stuck in the middle “The Humans” REVIEWED SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23 CONTINUES THROUGH MARCH 17 WILSON STAGE AT GEVA THEATRE CENTER, 75 WOODBURY BOULEVARD TICKETS START AT $25 | 232-4382; GEVATHEATRE.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY LEAH STACY
The holidays may be over, but it’s still Thanksgiving at Geva Theatre Center — if only on the Wilson Stage, where Stephen Karam’s Tony Award-winning play “The Humans” runs through March 17. The plot follows the Blake family on Thanksgiving 2013, as three generations gather in youngest daughter Brigid’s Chinatown duplex. Brigid’s parents and grandmother have driven in from blue collar Scranton, Pennsylvania for the day, and her lawyer sister Aimee has taken the train in from Philadelphia. Also joining the family gathering is Brigid’s roommate and boyfriend, Richard. 22 CITY FEBRUARY 27 - MARCH 5, 2019
Each scene is filled with warmth and reunion. But as with any family function, there’s soon an elephant in each room of the tiny duplex. Middle class Irish parents Erik (Skip Greer) and Dierdre (Toni DiBueno) have raised their daughters Catholic, and Dierdre especially struggles with the fact that her adult children have abandoned the faith. Erik’s mother and matriarch of the family, Fiona “Momo” (Susanne Marley), is present as well, but she’s battling dementia and drifts in and out of consciousness. Aimee (Madeleine Lambert) has just broken up with her longtime girlfriend and has contracted an intestinal illness, and Brigid (Regan Moro) is an unemployed musician who’s currently bartending. Her boyfriend, Richard (Thamer Jendoubi) is working on a graduate degree at age 38. The issues raised in “The Humans” are reminiscent of conversations every family has at some point — financial, age, health, careers — and director Mark Cuddy guides the ensemble’s chemistry in such an authentic way that it’s easy to forget there isn’t a real family onstage. Greer, who is also an artistin-residence and director of education at
Geva Theatre, gives the performance of his career in the role of a loving-yet-haunted father. Opposite him, DiBuono impressively embodies every doting mother on earth, from sending care packages and forwarding emails and giving the latest “bad news” updates from back home in Scranton. As dementia-suffering Momo, Marley is truly brilliant, teetering between mumblings and anger outbursts. As eldest daughter Aimee, Lambert portrays a complex character who’s trying to stay strong for her family as her personal life falls apart. (Lambert’s last role at Geva was as Susan B. Anthony in “The Agitators,” and this performance truly highlights her artistic range.) Moro, a Geva newcomer, plays the carefree younger daughter of the family. She’s excited to show her parents the new-to-her duplex apartment, but isn’t quite cut out to play host yet. As Brigid’s older boyfriend, Jendoubi bestows a calming presence throughout the show, and captures the essence of being an outsider at a family gathering. An extended version of this review is online at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

THEATER | ‘FESTIVAL OF TEN XI’
Micro-fiction is a niche form of literature that packs a punch with its brevity, and challenges writers. Perhaps even more challenging is presenting a complete play in 10 minutes. This week The College at Brockport presents its 11th biennial “Festival of Ten,” a popular event it first produced 22 years ago. This year’s 10 selected plays were chosen from more than 500 responses to an international call for submissions. Several of the playwrights participate in a post-show discussion following the final performance on March 9. Friday and Saturday, March 1 and 2, and Thursday through Saturday, March 7 to 8, at 7:30 p.m.; as well as an ASL-interpreted matinee on Sunday, March 3, at 2 p.m. Tower Fine Arts Center Mainstage, 180 Holley Street, Brockport. $9-$17. 395-2787; fineartstix.brockport.edu. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Maxwell Simba in “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind.” PHOTO COURTESY NETFLIX
As the wind blows “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind” (NR), DIRECTED BY CHIWETEL EJIOFOR PREMIERES ON NETFLIX ON FRIDAY, MARCH 1 [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
The directorial debut of Oscar-winning actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, the stirring “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind” is based on the true story of Malawian engineer William Kamkwamba, a self-taught teenage genius
24 CITY FEBRUARY 27 - MARCH 5, 2019
who constructed a windmill to save his village from certain starvation. Adapted from Kamkwamba’s bestselling 2009 memoir, the film played Sundance to great acclaim in January and now debuts on Netflix this Friday. Set in 2001, the film introduces us to 13-year-old William (Maxwell Simba), a boy with a natural curiosity for how things work. A born tinkerer, he earns a bit of money by repairing radios and small electronics for his fellow villagers. Any free moments are spent combing the nearby junkyard for useful scrap. William lives with his parents Trywell (Ejiofor) and Agnes (Aïssa Maïga), older sister
Annie (Lily Banda), and an infant sister. They’re a close knit family and Trywell and Agnes are determined to make sure their children get an education, even while they struggle to make ends meet with their small farm. We see Trywell is a man who cares deeply for his village, though it’s increasingly threatened by corruption from local politicians and predatory landowners that put the fate of the farm in jeopardy. And that’s before the unreliable weather and drought create a devastating national food shortage. He’s a proud, honest man who’ll do everything he can for his family; at their
lowest point he even begins to starve himself so his children might have food to eat. Despite being a bright student, the resourceful William ends up being expelled from school when his parents are no long able to make their payments. But the resourceful teen finds a way to continue using the library, eventually stumbling on an American textbook on energy that first gives him the idea to build a wind turbine cobbled together from household objects and scrap materials. He believes the device will be able to create enough electricity to power a large pump to bring water to the farm during the dry season. Newcomer Maxwell Simba plays William, in what will hopefully be a breakthrough role. The young actor is a real find, capably portraying William’s inexhaustible curiosity and determination. Ejiofor has shown time and again that he’s a remarkably sensitive performer, with an ability to imbue each of his characters with a rich humanity. With his first effort as a writer and director, Ejiofor demonstrates that that ability translates to his sensibility behind the lens as well. Though his film lacks some suspense (the outcome is right there in the title), he delivers a textured portrayal of Malawi’s communities and local culture, grounding the film in a crucial geographical and cultural specificity. As a director, he takes time building his story, filling the narrative with sharply observed details. This is a story that leads us through a great deal of hardship that’s never sugarcoated as the family’s situation grows ever more dire. In the end, “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind” tells a genuinely inspiring story of a young boy’s ingenuity and how putting knowledge in the hands of those who need it the most can make all the difference in the world. An extended version of this preview is online at rochestercitynewspaper.com.
