New version of police oversight isn’t really new
On a draft of legislation creating a new police accountability system in Rochester: I’m still trying
to understand the need for a revision of a well-organized draft of accountability [the Police Accountability Board legislation proposed by the Rochester Coalition for Police Reform]. It keeps the
language of its function yet removes the power from the community and places it back into the hands of the police chief. Isn’t that the same thing it is now? The attack on the intelligence of the public is astounding. CHRISTOPHER COLES
New translations
In her article “Voice Matters,” Rachel Crawford stated that translations of classic literature have been male dominated. There are signs of change. There is a new translation of “The Odyssey” by academic Emily Wilson. According to New York Times editor Susan Chira, this is the first translation of this work by a woman, and she calls it “a revelation.” Hope this is just the beginning. DAVID STORCK
Otterness and MAG
According to a recent news article, a limestone sculpture in the Memorial Art Gallery’s Centennial Sculpture Park has begun to disintegrate and the museum arranged with the artist to cast a replacement in bronze. Normally, that would be good news, ensuring that the art work would have a long life. 2 CITY
SEPTEMBER 26 - OCTOBER 2, 2018
Then I saw whose sculpture it was, and I wished that they’d left the damn thing alone and let the weather do to the piece what the MAG’s director and board should have done in the first place: get rid of it. The work in question is part of Tom Otterness’s “Creation Myth.” Otterness is the artist who, seeking to expand the horizons of his “art,” took a dog from a rescue pound, shot it, filmed its death agonies, made a video loop of the atrocity, and presented his masterpiece to the world as the “Shot Dog Film”. When MAG announced in 2010 that Otterness had been commissioned to create a sculpture for their park, a public outcry ensued. MAG’s director tried to justify matters by arguing that Otterness had apologized for his youthful indiscretion and was now regarded (by some) as a leading American artist. In response, it was pointed out that he was 25 years old at the time and that his apology came 30 years after the fact, and that while his ability as an artist could be debated, his actions as a human being could not. Seeking to clear the air, a public meeting with the MAG director, board, and Otterness was requested. The request was ignored. As was the fact that New York City and San Francisco had elected to pull Otterness’s commissions when they learned of his animal abuse. Given the above, and given that the previous MAG director had stated, “We feel that Tom created this [controversy] and he needs to find a way to fix it with the public,” an admonition that Otterness has never heeded, it would have seemed that the decomposing statuary had presented the current MAG director and board with a unique opportunity to revisit the issue and publicly discuss whether the work should be replaced or the entire
“Creation Myth” removed. Sadly, no discussion was forthcoming, and this moral blemish on the community’s reputation was quietly given a new lease on life. Clearly, in working to reduce Otterness’s sculpture into a pile of limestone rubble, Mother Nature displayed far better judgment, far more compassion, and a far better sense of justice than the past and current directors and board of the Memorial Art Gallery.

A Collins drag?

only be an “unwanted guest” in the GOP if he loses on Election Day which, given the demographics of his district and the gullibility of Republicans, seems unlikely. SONNY WILLIAMS
Correcting ourselves
Our article about the results of the September 13 primary incorrectly identified Jamie Romeo as the former chair of the Monroe Democratic Party. She was formerly the party’s executive director; she is still chair. Our Fall Guide article on hard apple cider (“Apple of Your Eye”) contained incorrect information about the sales at Schutt’s Apple Mills. Schutt’s sells about 1,000 gallons of cider each weekend, not 100,000. Rootstock Ciderworks, which makes two custom blends of hard cider for Schutt’s, is located in Williamson, not Marion. And Rootstock uses its own recipes for the custom blends, not Schutt’s.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Police Accountability Board is essential for public trust City Council is again considering changes to the way Rochester handles complaints about police conduct. Legislation revising the police oversight process is expected to be introduced soon, and following that, Council President Loretta Scott says, there’ll be public forums and hearings. We’re headed into an emotional discussion, and I doubt it’ll be pleasant. But this is a conflict that we have to go through. The current process has to change, for the good of the public, for the good of police officers, and for the integrity of Rochester’s criminal justice system. Obviously police officers face threats, and work in situations, that most of us don’t. Last week’s multiple shootings is only one example. Obviously, those things are in the back of officers’ minds as they go about their jobs every day. Obviously, too, they understand a lot about policing that the rest of us don’t. None of that excuses police misconduct. Right now, the police oversee themselves. If you want to complain about how a police officer treats you, you file a complaint with the Center for Dispute Settlement or the Rochester Police Department. From that point on, the police department is in charge. You are interviewed by the RPD’s Professionals Standards Section, something many people would find intimidating if they were complaining about a police officer’s actions. The Professional Standards Section determines whether your complaint is justified. An independent body called the Civilian Review Board, which is overseen by the Center for Dispute Settlement, then reviews the PSS findings and issues its own findings and recommendations, but it can’t overrule the PSS. Then the police chief reviews everything and decides whether the complaint is justified, and if so, what kind of discipline should be applied. No police officer I’ve ever talked to condones misconduct. But that doesn’t mean it never happens. There’ve been too many stories, locally and nationally, about police officers’ use of excessive force. The public has to trust that when those stories are true, justice will follow. I assume that the vast majority of Rochester police officers agree. I also assume that Rochester police officers want the
The current process has to change, for the good of the public and the police, and the integrity of the criminal justice system. community’s trust. In some parts of the community, they have that trust. But not in all of it. That won’t change unless the oversight process changes. Change won’t be easy. For one thing, state law has a lot to say about who has final authority over police officers and their actions. And a lot of issues affecting officers’ work conditions must be negotiated in collective bargaining. Last spring, a coalition of reform activists released an extensive report on police accountability. It included examples of stronger oversight systems in other cities and a detailed recommendation for a new process for Rochester. Earlier this month, Council President Scott released a draft of proposed new legislation, and it includes a bit of what the reform activists have been calling for. It provides for more civilian involvement, and it creates an independent accountability board that would have the power to conduct investigations. But the legislation has glaring deficiencies, and the result is that the RPD would continue to be in charge of overseeing itself. Under state law, can that change? The city’s law department seems to think it can’t. An analysis by an outside law firm says it can. However difficult it is, we’ve got to get this right this time. Community trust in the RPD is too important – for police officers and the community – to accept yet another weak version of reform. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Legal fight over Pittsford project continues
The Village of Pittsford’s Architectural Preservation and Review Board plans to appeal a judge’s ruling that it must approve Mark IV’s proposed Westport Crossing apartment complex. Supreme Court Justice John Ark has ordered the board to issue a certificate of approval for the Westport Crossing application. Ark is handling a tangle of lawsuits involving the project. Earlier this year, he directed the developer and the preservation board to work with an outside consultant and try to arrive at a compromise. But the talks never yielded any sort of settlement and Mark IV withdrew from the talks, Pittsford Village Mayor Bob Corby says. The village has been reviewing the project, which would be built on the site of a former asphalt plant, since 2009. The Preservation and Review Board’s approval is the final step in the process. The village and Mark IV have been at odds over the footprint, height, and general size of the buildings. Most village officials have argued over the years that Mark IV’s plans are out of scale with the rest of historic Pitts-

ford, while the developer has argued that the development will be a good fit with the village. “There’s a broader precedent here,” Corby says, “because what really is at stake is, does the village have the right to have a historic district and administer it, and regulate bulk, mass, and scale. Those are fundamental issues of compatibility not just in the Village of Pittsford, but in any historic district.”

Rochester has an unusually large number of older buildings: homes, small commercial buildings, houses of worship, former factories. And street by street, the Rochester-based Landmark Society of Western New York has been documenting them. The next stage: surveying part of northwest Rochester, including the Brown Square, Edgerton, and LyellOtis neighborhoods. City Council approved the study at its September 18 meeting. Funding – a maximum of $21,500 – will come from the State Historic Preservation Office and the Preservation League of New York State. The purpose is to identify properties that are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to getting a bit of prestige, properties listed on the National Register are eligible for tax credits. But the survey’s benefits go beyond that, says Landmark Society preservation planner Caitlin Meives. The Landmark Society has already surveyed southwest and southeast city neighborhoods. When surveys of the remaining neighborhoods are
completed, city officials will have data to guide them in designating buildings of historic value, including those that could attract investment, as has happened in the other quadrants of the city. And, says Meives, neighborhoods can use the information as marketing tools. Houses of worship with historic value may be eligible for restoration funding. The study, which will take about a year, will start with a “windshield survey,” followed by staff walking the streets, photographing buildings, and noting basic characteristics of properties. That will be followed by research on properties that might be eligible for National Register listing. Not all historically valuable structures are obvious, Meives says: “It may be something that doesn’t look like anything special.” Among the valuable but ordinary-looking houses found recently, for instance, is a home formerly occupied by Frederick Douglass.
ROC Game Dev wants to provide a place where small indie studios, people who do contract work for other developers and studios, or people who work for gaming studios but moonlight on projects of their own, can work and interact with others.

Indie game group gets its own space For its three-year existence, ROC Game Dev hasn’t had a true home base. It started at the Irondequoit Public Library and for the past two years has operated out of the multidisciplinary MAGIC Center at Rochester Institute of Technology. But ROC Game Dev, an organization that supports and promotes indie game development in Greater Rochester, recently secured a space of its own in the Sibley Building. It’s anticipating an October opening, says Rob Mostyn, who is the founder of ROC Game Dev, the Digital Game Hub coordinator for RIT’s MAGIC Center, and a game developer. The organization currently holds monthly meetups and workshops at the MAGIC Center, and it’ll continue those activities in the new facility. But with its own place, ROC Game Dev is also opening up a co-working space, which game developers will be able to use through a $45 a month membership fee, Mostyn says. The rate drops to $20 for students. “The need and demand for a downtown space has always been there,” Mostyn says, “and we’ve always had people who have asked about that.”
THANK YOU for getting us into the TOP 4! Now it’s time to vote for the FINAL BALLOT!
ROC Game Dev hopes to create a hub in the vein of the Buffalo Game Space and Troy’s Tech Valley Game space, which each combine co-working spaces with events and workshops. The Buffalo and Troy operations have different membership tiers and use a slightly different model than ROC Game Dev will. In general, however, the approach used by all three isn’t much different from shared artists’ studios and makerspaces. The organization wants to provide a place where small indie studios, people who do contract work for other developers and studios, or people who work for gaming studios but moonlight on projects of their own, can work, interact with others, and learn from each other. The ROC Game Dev space will have some specialized equipment for game developers and hopes to add more – such as VR equipment – down the road, Mostyn says. By having a dedicated space, some other options open up for the organization. “We’ve never done any sort of gaming event where we just hang out and actually play video games, so that’s

something we’d like to do,” Mostyn says. And ROC Game Dev plans to use the space for outreach and public events, to expose the local game development community to a larger audience. Those functions will play right back into a core function of the group: making Rochester known as a place where people are creating games.
IT’S TAILGATING TIME!
Buffer zone still holds A local pro-life group that protests in front of the Planned Parenthood office on University Avenue has to abide by a 2005 federal court ordered injunction, according to the city and state attorney general’s office. The injunction prevents protesters from crossing a 15-foot buffer zone. The decision, which came late last week, reverses an earlier announcement by the city that the group could protest without regard to the injunction. The Thomas More Society, a conservative legal organization, sent a letter to the city last month arguing that Jim Havens and the anti-abortion group ROC Sidewalk Advocates was not a party to the 2005 injunction and does not work with other anti-abortion groups and so it shouldn’t have to abide by the injunction. But in a letter sent Friday to the Thomas More Society, the attorney general’s office said it has reviewed evidence demonstrating that Havens and ROC Sidewalk Advocates “are in fact acting in concert” with groups involved with the original 2005 case. ROC Sidewalk must abide by the 15foot buffer zone, the letter said. The buffer zone near Planned Parenthood is marked by yellow stripes on the sidewalk near the clinic’s entrance.

LITTLE HAS CHANGED Civil rights leader Franklin Florence on Rochester and racism PERSPECTIVES | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
It’s been more than 50 years since Minister Franklin Florence and FIGHT, the black activist organization he helped create, took on Kodak over its lack of hiring diversity. Protests against the iconic film company, Rochester’s largest employer at the time, eventually led to more jobs for people of color. And the upheaval in Rochester’s predominantly white corporate culture catapulted Florence into national news as a civil rights leader. Florence, now in his mid-80’s, isn’t in the spotlight as he once was. And during a recent interview with CITY, he was almost dismissive as he talked about his work, as well as FIGHT and its scuffle with Kodak – important pieces of his legacy. But Florence is still speaking out, and he says little has changed since his early years as an activist. African Americans have obviously made some economic gains since the days of FIGHT, he said. But many of those improvements are superficial, “artificial progress,” he said. “I don’t think anybody says that things are not better in 2018 than they were in the 1950’s and 60’s,” Florence said. “There’s been slight improvement, but look what’s going on today, man. There’s no difference.” If things were really better, Florence said, Rochester’s schools wouldn’t be even more segregated now they were when he first arrived in Rochester. The issues people of color face in Rochester reflect
what’s happened around the country. And they haven’t changed much; America remains locked in its struggle with racism, Florence said. “This is in the DNA of America,” Florence said. “It’s going to be difficult if ever for this country in the majority sense to face up to the country’s greatest sin.” Florence was born and raised in a religious
household in Miami’s Overtown, an area of north Miami once referred to as Colored Town. His father and grandfather were both ministers. Florence had a chance to meet many of the great black preachers of that era, because his mother always had a spare bedroom prepared for them. She called it the “prophet room,” he said. “At that time, our folk had a pocket full of money, but they couldn’t live in any hotels,” Florence said. “So they had to live in homes belonging to the members of the churches where they visited.” Miami was rife with racism at the time, there were many places blacks weren’t welcome in the late 1930’s and 40’s. But during the holidays, Florence’s mother would take him and his siblings on a bus to Sears to shop and see the decorations. The outings were kind of a family tradition. But one holiday, things didn’t go well. When the bus they were riding came to a stop at one point, a young, impatient white man shoved his mother out the door. The

incident is still a reminder of the casual cruelty blacks have experienced over many years, Florence said. In 1959, when Florence was in his early 20’s, he moved with his wife and young family from South Florida to Rochester to become pastor of the Reynolds Street Church of Christ. But Rochester wasn’t any friendlier to blacks than Florida and the Deep South he experienced as a child.
“It was like living in Mississippi at the time, or Alabama,” Florence said. “No difference.” He tells of Rochester police officers going into black neighborhoods in the Joseph Avenue and South Clinton Avenue areas on weekends to harass and intimidate people. It would start on Friday night and continue through Sunday, sometimes interrupting church services. “You could count on police brutalizing African Americans,” said Florence. “They became so bold they brought out dogs.” rochestercitynewspaper.com
CITY 7
As an undercurrent of anger grew, some white community leaders were worried. “Prior to the riots, a group of us met with the powers that be and told them about how explosive the feelings in the black community were,” Florence said. “We told them it wouldn’t be long before something happened, and the next week the lid blew off.” While many people have looked for a single event that sparked the city’s riots in 1964, Franklin says there wasn’t one. It was instead a culmination of abuse inflicted on black people over a long period that led to the riots and the organizing that followed, he said. “It was the brutality,” Florence said. “That was thing. That’s why I say Kodak was not our first endeavor. It was the economic situation of having this community from Front Street, Joseph Avenue, Clinton Avenue, and all around here infested with dilapidated housing. It was absentee landlords gorging on abhorrent rents they were charging our people for deplorable housing.” “The stores here only had food you wouldn’t serve a dog selling at high prices, all the while denying access to employment,” Florence said. “It was all of this. Our people were crying out for relief.” But Rochester’s white and black communities had grown increasingly wary of one another. “There was a sense of withdrawing from the white community, and whites of every stripe were held under suspicion,” Florence said. “There was no trust. There was this sense that we had gone through this period of talking and cajoling with whites and answering all of their questions. But things for our people were getting worse.” Some relief came with the help of Saul Alinsky, head of Chicago-based Industrial Area Foundation, and often referred to as the father of modern community organizing. Following the riots, a group of local clergy urged black religious leaders to mobilize Rochester’s black community with a call to action. The ministers first turned to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to come to Rochester to help with the organizing, but the SCLC directed them to Alinsky. To call Alinsky a polarizing figure is an understatement. It’s highly unlikely that many city leaders anywhere in the country were eager to welcome Alinsky. He was considered a radical, and the idea of bringing him to Rochester infuriated many people in both the white and black communities. “There were a lot of rumors about Alinksy,” Florence said. In addition, “some felt that nobody knows the problems of this community better than the people who are here.” 8 CITY

Alinsky didn’t just show up in Rochester one day, Florence said. “He said he would not come without an official invitation so that everybody in the community, black and white, would understand that he is working in the black community alone,” Florence said. The community had to collect a thousand signatures and include them in a formal invitation to Alinsky’s organization, Industrial Area Foundation. “We didn’t see at the time, but that was our first lesson in organizing,” Florence said. “That became the foundation for the FIGHT organization.” Florence became the first president of FIGHT in 1965. The acronym originally stood for “Freedom, Integration, God, Honor, Today.” But “Integration” was later changed to “Independence,” reflecting a major shift in attitudes in the black community.
Florence himself had been a member of a group that called itself “the Integrated Five.” The multiracial group’s five members were from different areas of the city, and they tried to address the Rochester’s racial inequities through dialogue and outreach, he said. But white flight from the city was well underway by then, and a sincere effort at integration had never taken root, Florence said. What developed instead was a growing sense of black power, he said. “We changed the name from ‘Integration’ because people were saying to us at the time, ‘You’re really fighting for our independence,’” Florence said. “Once we decided as an organization to get something done, that’s what we did. It was no compromising, because we were done with that.” FIGHT, with Alinsky’s mentoring, was firm about having Rochester’s black community speak for itself. It was not up to white liberals to determine what was best for the community, Florence said.
“I say this without prejudice, but looking back in the 60’s, the role of the white liberal was to be the boss,” Florence said. “That’s what they wanted, to be the boss. It seemed to be in their nature. They never thought that God put brains in one group – you know, black people.” Florence maintains to this day that many of the problems African Americans confront are the result of misguided liberals preaching integration, knowing that most whites are against it. “They feel that blacks are inadequate and they can’t decide what’s best for themselves,” he said. “Even many in the city’s African American community at the time believed that blacks had to become part of the corporate board room; that’s where FIGHT needed to go,” he says. But Florence believed that FIGHT needed to be on the street, not in board rooms behind closed doors. And FIGHT took its protests to the street using a variety of tactics. The organization could rapidly summon large numbers of supporters to protest, showing up and disrupting school board and City Council meetings. They protested police abuse and their use of dogs to intimidate residents. High on FIGHT’s list of issues was housing. “These absentee landlords would divide single-family homes into two, three, four, and five units,” Florence said. “They were crowding our people into these places like cattle. So on Sundays, we would call all the pastors together, and we would go out to Pittsford and Greece and flood their neighborhoods with flyers saying, ‘Did you know your neighbor is a slum lord?’” Sometimes the landlords would be leaving their churches when FIGHT members appeared. “It was interesting, because their neighbors didn’t know this about them,” says Florence. In 1966, FIGHT launched what became a highly controversial, two-year battle with Kodak demanding that the company create a job-training program that would lead to hiring newly trained black workers. Kodak did eventually train and hire roughly 700 people from the black community. But there were multiple barriers getting there, drawing national attention. Many people in Rochester’s white community weren’t convinced that the issue of low black employment in the city’s Big Three was a real problem. Unemployment in the city at the time was well below two percent, leading many white people to think blacks simply didn’t want jobs and didn’t need special training programs. And executives at Kodak were concerned that giving into Florence’s demands could mean losing control of their hiring

capabilities. They wanted to avoid setting a precedent of hiring based on racial quotas. There was also sharp criticism of Florence’s hardball tactics, which included showing up at Kodak headquarters with a group of FIGHT supporters and demanding to meet with senior management and attending and disrupting a shareholders’ meeting. Florence also made public comments that many in the white community saw as veiled threats of racial violence if certain demands weren’t met. It was barely two years after rioting occurred in Rochester and other cities, making the comments seem particularly provocative. And it wasn’t just the white community that had become critical of Florence and FIGHT’s approach. The city’s black community was divided. It was absolutely true that none of Rochester’s Big Three companies had many black and Latino employees at that time, but they did have a few. At Kodak, for example, some blacks held posts as scientists and seniorlevel administrators. And some in the black community worried that Florence’s tactics further isolated Rochester’s black community and
make it harder for people of color to get jobs in those companies. Some, for example, felt FIGHT should focus its attention on education and the city school district, arguing that education was they only proven path to advancement. People in the black community who voiced disagreement with Florence risked being called Uncle Toms and Oreos, his critics say. But Florence argues that FIGHT was trying to address multiple issues concerning racial inequality. One shouldn’t preclude the other. And FIGHT’s tactics got people’s attention, he says. Everybody likes to say that they want to see change, he says, but it rarely happens on its own. Though Florence tends to downplay his role
in Rochester and his contribution to the civil rights movement, there’s no question he has left an indelible impression. Even though he was only briefly president of FIGHT (and the organization no longer exists), Florence was deeply involved with the Rochester anti-poverty agency Action for a Better Community and the Northeast Area Development Corporation among many other organizations and events. Florence remains tuned into local and national politics. Earlier this year, he took
to the streets again, this time leading a downtown rally against the Trump administration. He rails against the Republican Party and leaders like Senate Leader Mitch McConnell for his treatment of President Obama. “They raised hell about Obama, you know,” Florence says. “They just met a black man that was smart enough to know how to work within the norms of society.” He worried for Obama’s safety and feared that he might share the same fate as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. He had become close friends with Malcolm and spoke to him shortly before his assassination. Locally, Florence is particularly concerned with the Rochester school board and the district’s long history of low performance. He, like many people, blames the board for not insuring that the district hire teachers of color. The district’s teachers, mostly white suburban women, come into the city for a job, Florence said, but they’re disconnected from the culture and children they see every day. And he’s no fan of Adam Urbanski, the longtime president of the Rochester teachers union.
“It’s time for black teachers to organize themselves independently of this unit,” Florence said. “It’s not serving their community.” Florence has also kept an eye on local activism, including the local Black Lives Matter movement, noting that many of the group’s concerns are the same ones FIGHT was facing. He rattles off names, places, and events from 40 to 50 years ago that fostered mistrust of police in Rochester’s black community. Among them: Rufus Fairwell, a 28-year old black man who worked at a local gas station. When police stopped and questioned him as he was closing the station for the night, he refused to show them identification. They arrested him, and in the process, Fairwell suffered two broken vertebrae. Those types of stories are still making the news today, Florence said. “We have quite a few young men and women today, and they’re fighting the good fight,” Florence said. They need to continue to push back against police brutality, because the issue is just as relevant today, he says. “One of the things about our organization is we gave it teeth,” Florence said. “When people won’t come around, you have to make it uncomfortable for them. But you also have to be willing to pay the price.” rochestercitynewspaper.com

After spending time in Jordan, she returned to the US at age 13 and began chronicling the voices of Muslim girls and women on her blog muslimgirl.com. Her memoir describes her journey of accepting her identity as a Muslim in a 10 CITY SEPTEMBER 26 - OCTOBER 2, 2018

Questioning high-stakes testing
The Rochester Teachers Association and several educational advocacy groups will sponsor “Really Making Schools Better—Beyond High Stakes Testing,” a talk by Daniel Koretz, on Thursday, September 27. Koretz is a Harvard professor and testing researcher who argues that high-stakes testing in the nation’s public schools has only minor benefits. And, he says, testing’s harm outweighs its benefits. The event – at Temple B’rith Kodesh, 2131 Elmwood Avenue, at 5:15 p.m. – is free and open to the public, but reservations are required: 546-2681.
Dining & Nightlife

Merci for sauce Bercy [ REVIEW ] BY RACHEL CRAWFORD
Stephen Rees opened the doors of Relish on 651 South Avenue in the spring of 2017 as a catering business and has recently turned it into a quaint, Parisian dinner restaurant. “I try to keep everything approachable and not stuffy” Rees says, adding that the difference between the dinner setting and the grab-and-go catered food is in the sentiment that, “Here’s three hours of your day where you can forget about everything. We can really take care of you, really nurture you, whereas catering was more: ‘See you! Have a nice day!’” The menu (which opens like a present and bestows a subtle, clever reveal) says, “Relish: More than just a tangy condiment”— an open-ended prompt for the guest to savor every bite, every sip, and perhaps the feat of successfully evading life worries. The sole server Darby is the literal host at the party who keeps glasses full and asks, “How are the first bites?” before she floats off to do the same for another table.
Guests would be wise to ask what Rees recommends, because the menu is seasonally-based. Rees says that in the fall the food is more slowly cooked, braised, and often cooked with wine. Right now, the sous vide turbot (a fish dish featuring the classic, regional Bercy sauce that Rees spends the entirety of a day making), is on the menu. For the novice, it’s among the less-familiar-sounding entrees and is worth exploring for the sake of this tangy sauce and the accent of sweet corn. And for those who truly appreciate a multi-dimensional consistency, the crunch of the corn along with a sliver of pickled zucchini and trout roe puts the dish in a league of its own.
The Parisian gnocchi, a more recognizable item, is a lighter variation of the traditional dish. Because it is nestled in a rich mushroom demi (a faux demiglace, sans meat) and complemented with smoked, local mushrooms, each bite has an equal ratio of pasta, mushrooms, cheese, and egg — the dish is both light and satisfying.
Aesthetically, the decor is minimalistic and the ambiance is inspired by the hospitality itself. Guests feel at home at Relish and Rees says that it’s not uncommon to see a couple making out at a seat in the corner of the room. But even if you don’t have a sweetheart, you’ll still want to bring company you can enjoy for the better part of an evening. A two top might easily spend two-and-a-half hours of their night full of conversation and decadent dishes that appear in smooth and fluid timing. Of course, Relish is also an ideal spot for the misanthrope to treat herself to dinner for one and the preferred company of a good book like a true, stoic Parisian. Relish is where one goes to slow time; the guest never feels rushed by a server trying to turn tables. What makes the dining experience at Relish particularly refreshing in the city of Rochester is that Rees does not rely on hip DJs, overbearing themes and eccentric decor, or trendy cocktails to bring in customers. There are no gimmicks; it’s food first. Guests do not go to the quaint location to be seen in town, they go to slow time, to enjoy a meal they otherwise wouldn’t make themselves (because who has the time to prepare the Bercy sauce?).
Relish is open Wednesday and Thursday, 5:30 to 9 p.m.; and Friday and Saturday, 5:30 to 10 p.m. For a seamlessly French-themed evening, pair the Parisian dinner with “À bout de soufflé” by Jean-Luc Godard, or simply to temper the existential “La Nausée” of JeanPaul Sartre. 454-2767; relishdelivers.com.

On Wednesday, illustrious French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet will join the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and Music Director Ward Stare in an all-Gershwin celebration. Thibaudet’s elegant and majestic playing style will be an ideal fit for “Concerto in F,” which Gershwin largely composed in Western New York. The program will also highlight the composer’s penchant for charming tunes with music from “An American in Paris,” Girl Crazy,” and the opera “Porgy and Bess.” — BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

Concept albums are common in rock, but rare in jazz. Tessa Souter’s “Picture in Black and White” — out on October 5 — breaks that mold. Souter, a Rochester jazz fest favorite, has created an exquisite musical exploration of her identity. At age 28, she discovered that her birth father was black and her roots reached from Africa to the Caribbean, from Celtic Britain to Andalusian Spain. Musical strains from all of these places permeate the album. Souter’s gorgeous tone and impeccable phrasing are thrilling throughout. Among the many highlights: on the opener, “Kothbiro,” Souter harmonizes with herself beautifully in the Kenyan language of Dholuo; “Dancing Girl” segues perfectly into U2’s “Where The Streets Have No Name.” Souter eventually met her biological father, and the title tune reflects her feelings about him. — BY RON NETSKY

It only lasts a few seconds, but “prologu00001101” — the wonderfully crazy opening track from guitarist Gilad Hekselman’s newly released “Ask For Chaos” — lets you know in no that this will not be a run-of-the-mill jazz album. Hekselman has created a futuristic masterwork containing a rich amount of masterfully employed electronics that enhance the textures and shapes of the tunes. The CD features two of his ensembles. In ZuperOctave, Aaron Parks is wildly adventurous on the keys, while Kush Abadey keeps everything anchored on the drums. Meanwhile, Hekselman’s gHex Trio features the superb playing of bassist Rick Rosato and drummer Jonathan Pinson. Hekselman’s performance is fantastic throughout, and the album leaves no doubt about his compositional prowess.

Music pieces in the show. To hear the piece, listeners had to insert a piezo element into their mouth, bite down and let it resonate their skull. For the layperson, what are the basic components of your instruments?
Under the hood, there are usually lots of simple, repeated building blocks connected together in complex ways, or just a couple of very complex elements connected together in simple ways. The interfaces vary between knobs, patch cords, conductive pads you play with your fingers and potatoes. Please tell me more about the potatoes.
You can use vegetables as complex electrical components in circuits. Their electrical properties change as they age and dry out, so you can use their decay as a form of automation or as a durational element in an instrument or piece of music. Paul DeMarinis was working with vegetables in audio circuits in this way in the early 1970’s. Which creation are you most proud of?
I love all of my babies equally.

Electronic musician Martin Freeman is a mad scientist of sound. A longtime fixture in Rochester’s experimental music scene, Freeman creates soundscapes that are full of quirky blips and bleeps that can quickly morph into visceral explosions of distorted sound. The tones and textures are otherworldly, and the sound design is entirely his own. Freeman has been building his own electronic instruments for nearly a decade, but he doesn’t just make them for himself. The eccentric yet softspoken entrepreneur also sells these instruments to fellow adventurous musicians through his company Mroztronium. The business moniker is a 14 CITY SEPTEMBER 26 - OCTOBER 2, 2018
combination of “mroz,” the Polish word for frost (as well as a family name) and “electronium,” a vintage synthesizer and electronic composition system. Current instruments available for purchase include Pipsqueak ($100) and Tryzypsy (“chirp-say,” $500). CITY recently got in touch with Freeman electronically to discuss his weird experiments, the underground music scene, and potatoes. An edited version of the interview follows. CITY: What came first: your interest in music composition, or your interest in electronics and synthesizers? Martin Freeman: I’m more of an improviser than
a composer, but I think music and technology have always been intertwined for me. I started as a guitarist and used electronics to make freeform sound collage and ambient music. When I was in college, I had a lot of free time and started to teach myself electronics, modify my equipment, and build simple instruments from scratch. At some point I stopped using the guitar and kept on working with electronics.
Do you have a set process when creating the different instruments and sounds they make, or do you arrive at them mainly through unplanned tinkering and experimentation?
It’s a mix of focused goals and tinkering. Some of my instruments are meant to occupy a particular kind of sound world or present some kind of musical idea, but others are just unpredictable, chaotic, and fun to experiment with. Some instruments take five years to realize and some take five minutes. Most of my instruments are inspired by some sort of happy accident or unintended consequence while experimenting. There is also a difference between the things I make for others and things I make for myself. Some ideas are just too weird to sell, but I’ll use them in my personal practice. What’s the weirdest instrument idea that you’ve used in your own music?
The Horndog Resonator was an instrument I built for an installation in Buffalo at Hallwalls. I didn’t want to use a speaker for the installation because I didn’t want it to drown out other
You also lead workshops in building these instruments, right? Is it important to have a background in electronic engineering when learning to create and play these instruments?
Yes, I love leading instrument building workshops and have developed instruments that are simple to build for absolute beginners with no experience with electronics and soldering. I am always interested in these kinds of opportunities as they are very rewarding for me and people seem to take great pride in making something themselves. Do you have a specific goal with Mroztronium? Is it about democratizing music creation?
Putting an instrument in someone’s hands and seeing what they do with it is fascinating to me. Also, the company provides a way for me to share my arts practice with people distinct from performances or recordings. Beyond the physical instrument itself, what do you hope a customer takes away from playing these instruments?
I hope my instruments help people get closer to their music and lead them down the rabbit hole into exploring the limitless possibilities of working with electronics. Maybe this is bad for business, but I hope my instruments motivate people to learn how to build instruments of their own.

OPERA | ‘BRAVO NIGHTS’
When Rage Against The Machine wrote “Killing In The Name,” the rap-metal band could not possibly have imagined that the tune would be played urgently by a smartly dressed quartet featuring bass clarinet and marimba. The Rita Collective will not only surprise you with unlikely covers like Michael Jackson’s “Man In The Mirror,” it will also impress you with gorgeous originals like leader and bass clarinetist Dean Keller’s “Healing.” Inspired by a Tunisian oud player (it’s a long story), the group creates its own highly original brand of world music. Along with Keller, the collective features Kristen Shiner McGuire on marimba, Kyle Vock on bass, and percussionist Joe Parker.
“Bravo Nights,” — presented by the Opera Guild of Rochester — combines favorite opera arias and musical theater songs with the intimacy of a café setting. This Thursday at The Little Café, soprano Kerri Lynn Slominski and tenor Daniel Kamalić will sing classics from the repertoire like Mozart’s “Queen of the Night Aria” and “Che gelida manina” from Puccini’s “La bohème,” accompanied by pianists Sara Hoffee and Alex Kuczynski. Featuring charming performances by professional artists, for local opera audiences, “Bravo Nights” might be the perfect addition to your date night.

Enriched education Teaching Artists ROC Showcase THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 5 TO 8 P.M. SCHOOL OF THE ARTS, 45 PRINCE STREET TEACHINGARTISTSROC.COM [ PROFILE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
After experiencing financial difficulties, Young Audiences of Rochester (YAR) in late 2017 ceased functioning in its role of connecting its roster of teaching artists to schools and libraries. For decades the nonprofit would recruit and book artists to bring their creative, educational programming into the classroom. Since then the artists and area educators haven’t easily connected, but many of these artists have banded together as an alliance of sorts, calling themselves Teaching Artists ROC (TAROC). On Thursday, September 27, they’ll hold a free showcase at School of 20 CITY SEPTEMBER 26 - OCTOBER 2, 2018
the Arts for area teachers, administrators, and librarians to attend and get a taste of the programming they offer. More than 20 artists and ensembles — including dancers, musicians, storytellers, and variety artists — will each have their own table set up with materials to share, and educators can chat with the artists to learn more about what they do. They’ll also have the opportunity to see shortened versions of their acts on one of two stages (the showcase organizers recommend that educators come in pairs or groups, split up, and compare notes afterward). But it’s about more than just finding opportunities for work, says Larry Moss, artistic director of Rochester’s grand balloon art installation group Airigami and one of TAROC’s founding members. The group believes in its mission, he says. “It’s not even just showcasing our various artistic skills, but using art to enhance the curriculum. We all have our own ways of tying our work
into classroom studies. In my case, I’m working with balloons, but I’m teaching science on stage.” One of the programs Moss offers is “How to Catch a Mouse: Simple Machines at Work.” Recommended for grades K-6, the show is an interactive, theatrical performance of constructing a balloon-based Rube Goldberg-style mousetrap (who didn’t love that game?) that teaches kids how simple mechanical devices work with natural forces, such as gravity. PUSH Physical Theatre creates workshops in collaboration with teachers, with a range of past themes including weather, metamorphosis, and bullying. TAROC also has storytellers who work history and literature into their acts. But there are also non-lesson-based, kid-oriented shows that get booked for end-of-year celebrations and holiday celebrations. You can see the current roster and the programs they offer at teachingartistsroc.com.
Moss and a core group of teaching artists began planning their first showcase soon after YAR announced it was closing its doors. “The stories being told were the negative ones about artists not being paid, instead of the positive story that there are artists who still want to share what they do.” Less an organization than a collaborative project of the artists, TAROC had two goals, Moss says: To get the roster available for people to find and to create a showcase to give teachers, administrators, librarians a chance to see the artists and talk to them in one location. “We’re still all working independently, we are not replacing the role of Young Audiences, we’re not replacing an organization that did all of the booking,” Moss says. “Really all it is, is independent artists and ensembles banding together to find a way to be seen and recognized, to let the world know that the teaching artists are still out there. There are a large number of professional artists, professional educators that are also artists, that want to continue bringing the educational content to classrooms in a fun artistic way, in a way that can be meaningful for more students and for teachers.” Much of the funding to support the artists, when they were booked by Young Audiences, came from New York State and through Monroe Country’s Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), which will continue to work with participating school districts to help fund arts-education programs. And since TAROC began organizing, Young Audiences of Western New York (YAWNY), the chapter based in Buffalo, has stepped up and said they’re interested in working to help continue the mission of YAR in the Rochester area. A benefit of having a middle man is there’s “someone to do the paperwork and allow us to concentrate on the programming that we’re good at,” Moss says. But he adds that there are a number of artists in the group that want, at least at this point, to keep working independently: “After having a bad experience with one organization, they’re worried about having it happen again.” An additional bonus of holding the showcase is that it was traditionally the annual chance for the artists to get together and share stories about the schools they’re worked with and the things they’re working on. “As independent artists, we don’t see each other that often,” Moss says. The current TAROC roster of artists only includes artists who had been vetted by Young
Audiences. “Our goal was to provide a roster that educators could look at, of programs that artists can provide for the schools, of artists that have experience in the schools, who are going to provide content that is valuable,” Moss says. “Having that roster that a teacher or a school administrator, or a PTA rep can just look at and know that it’s not just random names, but people who care, who have been in the schools for a while, seemed like a valuable thing to do.” But TAROC is considering adding other artists to the roster who have made inquiries. “I want to work with all of them,” Moss says. “So hopefully we can figure out how to do that.”

LITERATURE | DINE & RHYME
BOA Editions’ 21st Annual Dine & Rhyme fundraiser this year features poet, photographer, and filmmaker Kai Carlson-Wee. Formerly a pro rollerblader and currently a Stanford University lecturer, Carlson-Wee’s book of poetry, “Rail,” was published by BOA earlier this year. After suffering his first mental breakdown at 22, he began riding freight trains across the American West and credits the practice with outrunning depression and saving his life. His award-winning short film, “Riding the Highline,” documents his journeys along the BSNF Hi Line route, often accompanied by his brother and fellow-poet Anders Carlson-Wee. The event includes a poetry reading and screening of Carlson-Wee’s film. After the screening, Rochester poet and Monroe Community College professor Tony Leuzzi will lead an interview with Carlson-Wee and an audience Q&A, followed by a dinner reception, silent auction, and book signing. All proceeds will benefit BOA Editions. Dine & Rhyme takes place Friday, September 28, 6 to 9 p.m., at the Rochester Academy of Medicine (1441 East Avenue). Tickets are $65 in advance and $75 at the door. boaeditions.org/dine&rhyme. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

These multimedia creations include found objects as well as an assortment of materials from previous projects. “The Blues” continues through Saturday, October 13, at AXOM Gallery (176 Anderson Avenue, second floor). The gallery is open Tuesday through Friday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and by appointment. Free admission. 2326030; axomgallery.com. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

SPECIAL EVENT | ROCHESTER DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN’S RIDE
Though the focus is raising awareness and funds for men’s health, this weekend’s Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride isn’t a boys-only affair. On Sunday more than 100 dapperly-adorned men and women will rev the engines of their classic and vintage-styled motorcycles and participate in the 28-mile ride for charity. Rochester is one of more than 600 cities participating in the annual event that raises funds and awareness for prostate cancer and mental health programs, partnered with the Movember Foundation. Founded in 2012 by Mark Hawwa in Sydney, Australia, the global event has since raised more than $11 million (USD). The ride departs on Sunday, September 30, at noon, from the Memorial Art Gallery (500 University Avenue), and concludes at Radio Social (20 Carlson Road) at about 2 p.m. and will be followed by a finish line celebration with music, food, a motorcycle show, and awards. All are welcome to attend the 10 a.m. kick-off/launch party at the MAG and join the party at the ride’s conclusion at Radio Social.

Film
A scene from “Smallfoot,” featuring the voices of Channing Tatum and James Corden. PHOTO COURTESY WARNER BROS
So near and yeti so far “Smallfoot” (PG), DIRECTED BY KAREY KIRKPATRICK AND JASON REISIG OPENS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
While it never quite reaches the full potential of its premise’s clever ideas, the CG-animated adventure “Smallfoot” has enough going for it to make a satisfying all-ages film, during
28 CITY SEPTEMBER 26 - OCTOBER 2, 2018
a season when those are in relatively short supply at the multiplex. At the film’s center are themes involving the importance of thinking critically about the world around you, learning to question established norms, and the realization that keeping people fearful can be a powerful governmental tool to control the population. Those are subversive concepts to build children’s entertainment on, and the screenplay by Karey Kirkpatrick and Clare Sera (from a story John Requa, Glenn Ficarra and Kirkpatrick, in turn based on the book “Yeti
Tracks” by Sergio Pablos) finds smart ways to frame a plot around them. But in the end those concepts are often more interesting than the execution, which resorts to uneven humor and a handful of songs that feel shoehorned into the story (though the hip-hop lite “Let It Lie,” performed by Common, is pretty solid). The story’s hero is Migo (voiced by Channing Tatum), an idealistic young yeti who lives in a village high atop the snowy Himalayan mountains. His tribe live their unquestioning lives according to tenants inscribed in hundreds of sacred stone tablets protected and tended to
by the village’s leader, the Stonekeeper (Common). They’re taught that nothing exists below the layer of clouds at the mountain’s base — or rather what they’re led to believe is its base — so there’s no reason to ever venture beyond the village (“it’s just clouds all the way down,” as Migo puts it, a subtle nod to the legend of the World Turtle). Then one day Migo encounters a human (known to the yetis as a “smallfoot”), a creature proclaimed in the stones to be a myth. But when he attempts to tell his fellow villagers of the incredible thing he’s seen, the Stonekeeper convinces the rest of the tribe that it’s a lie, and Migo is banished. After all, if one stone is wrong, others might be as well, and if the yetis realize this, there’s potential for the whole civilization to collapse. Migo heads out to prove that he’s telling the truth, with the help of a rebellious sect of yetis. Headed by the Stonekeeper’s daughter, Meechee (Zendaya), this group has spent years gathering evidence that the smallfoot exist. Meanwhile, down in the human city below, nature TV show host Percy (James Corden) is looking for a juicy find to boost his sagging ratings. Circumstances conspire to bring Migo and Percy together, and — though they don’t understand each other’s language — they eventually find that by working together, they might both be able to benefit. As required of a kiddie flick, there are lessons to be learned along the way, in this case about having compassion for those who are different, and that knowing the truth is best, even when it’s complicated and scary. With fun character designs, and some visual gags that call to mind classic Warner Bros cartoons, “Smallfoot” functions as a bright, colorful entertainment that sneaks in some slyly subversive messages without becoming preachy. It’s not up with the best of the studio’s animated offerings like “The Lego Movie,” but families — especially their youngest members — are likely to leave satisfied, and maybe even a little more “woke” in the process.

A naked man opened the door to firefighters responding to a house fire in Niceville, Florida, on Aug. 27 and said "I'm sorry" before closing the door in their faces. James Cunningham, 53, later admitted to police he'd had two liters of vodka and had smoked marijuana before trying to bake cookies on his George Foreman grill, reported WPLG Local 10. The experiment went wrong when the grill and cookies caught fire, so he covered them with a dry towel, which also caught fire. Firefighters said if he'd been in the house any longer, he could have died from smoke inhalation.
Anger Management
Djuan Lewis, 23, landed a new job at Benada Aluminum Products in Sanford, Florida, on Aug. 30, a Thursday. On Sunday morning, his boss fired him. WFTV reported that following his dismissal, Lewis waited for his boss for two hours outside the business, then chased him and his girlfriend for a mile and a half, shooting at their car and hitting the rear bumper, trunk and right rear tire. Neither the supervisor nor his girlfriend was hurt. Sanford police arrested Lewis and changed him with attempted murder.
Questionable Judgment
School resource officer and part-time police officer Maryssa Boskoski, 32, was called into a classroom at Liberty Preparatory School in Smithville, Ohio, on Aug. 30 to help rouse a sleeping student who could not be awakened by the teacher or even the principal. When Boskoski arrived, The Washington Post reported, her solution was to unholster her Taser, remove the firing cartridge and pull the trigger, causing an electric buzz that woke the student and shocked the school community. Smithville Police Chief Howard Funk placed
Boskoski on unpaid leave and told WEWS news station Boskoski had been disciplined a month earlier, also for a Taser-related incident. An investigation was ongoing.
Oops
New Jersey resident Gregory Lazarchick, 56, made a bad day worse on July 21 when he told greeters at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, he'd been sent by al-Qaida to "blow the place up." According to the Orlando Sentinel, the greeters told Orange County deputies Lazarchick complained of having a bad day before issuing his threat, but deputies found no bomb-making materials in Lazarchick's hotel room. The man's sister reported he had suffered a head injury several years ago and sometimes said inappropriate things. The remorseful Lazarchick posted bond after his arrest for false report of a bombing.
Ewwww!
At Kirby High School in Memphis, Tennessee, things are quiet as a mouse ... or a rat. Shelby County Schools Superintendent Dorsey Hopson told the Memphis Commercial Appeal he's looking for a temporary home for Kirby's 800 students after closing the school Sept. 5 due to a rat infestation. The problem started in mid-August, when district personnel uncovered a rat's nest during a renovation project. Eighty rats were trapped at the school and poison was set out. When students returned after Labor Day, poisoned rats began dying within the school's walls and the stench became overwhelming. Calling the situation an "unavoidable act of nature," Hopson said he expects students to return in early November.
