  • Policing in Rochester Survey Comments
    PLEASE NOTE THAT FOR TRANSPARENCY, COMMENTS IN THIS REPORT ARE NOT EDITED AND MAY CONTAIN OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE. Resp. ID Comments Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 1 No Yes Yes Yes Unsure Yes Panhandling has gotten out of control throughout the city. This acutely affects quality of life for city residents and also presents a horrible image to people who live outside the city who we depend on to patronize our businesses. This should be top priority for City Hall. In order to discourage this behavior, the punishment should be drug/alcohol rehabilitation and/or mental health 3 counseling. Yes Yes Yes No Yes Let the police accountability board operate with it's full authority, including 5 disciplinary powers, like the residents voted for them to do. Yes Yes Unsure Yes No Actively try to reduce poverty in Rochester in conduction with better 6 policing reform Yes Yes Yes Yes Unsure Reallocation of funds in the city budget, specifically I saw that new departments were being built in areas. It is far more important to put those resources into areas that would benefit from it. Police’s role in our communities is too broad and should be narrowed down. Furthermore The police agencies within Monroe County should all reexamine the hiring standards for police officers (Bachelor’s degree at minimum). Modern policing develops a culture of rewarding silence. There needs to be a negotiation with the police unions to not only prevent officers from being rehired, but also come up with a form of licensure for officers so that if they violate the terms of their duty then they have their license revoked.

  • Geva Theatre Center Honors Reenah Golden and Strings for Successwith
    Media Contact: Dawn Kellogg Communications Manager (585) 420-2059 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Geva Theatre Center honors Reenah Golden and Strings for Success with 2019 Essie Calhoun Diversity in the Arts Awards Rochester, N.Y., April 3, 2019 – Actress, spoken word artist, social activist and educator Reenah Golden and the Center for Youth’s Strings for Success program have each been honored by Geva Theatre Center with 2019 Essie Calhoun Diversity in the Arts Awards. Geva created the award in 2011, which was named in honor of Essie Calhoun-McDavid, retired Chief Diversity Officer, Director of Community Affairs, and Vice President of Eastman Kodak Company. Ms. Calhoun-McDavid was the first recipient of the award, given annually to a person and/or organization that promotes and encourages diversity in the arts. Past recipients include Garth Fagan (2012), School of the Arts (2013), Thomas Warfield (2014), Nydia Padilla-Rodriguez (2015), Rachel DeGuzman (2016), Debora McDell-Hernandez (2017), and Delores Jackson Radney (2018). Geva’s Artistic Director Mark Cuddy remarked, “What incredible arts advocates we have in the Rochester region! Reenah Golden, as an individual, and the organization Strings for Success, led by Patty Yarmel and Gretchen Judge, exemplify the dedication it takes to make a difference in people’s live—especially children. Their inclusive approach has made our community a richer place to live, and they are worthy recipients of the award that personifies its namesake, Essie Calhoun-McDavid.” Reenah Golden, winner of the 2019 Essie Calhoun Award for an individual, is the Founder & Artistic Director of The Avenue Blackbox Theatre, where she is working with the community to transform an art-deserted quadrant with collaborative, multidisciplinary, socially-conscious programming.
