Holes in the net? Police, City say Russo incident spiraled because safety nets weren’t in place AMEN: The Worcester Tornadoes unveil Jose Canseco and his jersey on Monday morning at Ritual. The event goes off with the same curiosity you’d expect. The Worcester Police Department’s “Give Kids a Fighting Chance” boxing tournament brings in $85,000 in charity money for the Worcester Boys & Girls Club. Accordng to a WPD spokesperson, 34 fighters boxed in front of a crowd of over 3,000 at the Palladium. The event has raised over $800,000 in the past ten years, all for youth program support at the club.

“W

hat really brought us here today was a discussion in the community about racial profiling,” Worcester Police Chief Gary Gemme said at the outset of last Thursday’s Worcester Clergy and Police Community Partnership STEVEN KING

The Associated Press/Providence Journal report that Massachusetts overtook Rhode Island in the last decade as the most Catholic state in the United States. That means we’re in order for a visit from the Pope, right? The Worcester Historical Museum announces City Manager Michael O’Brien will be the recipient of the Harvey Ball Smile Award, given annually “on behalf of the entire community to an individual, organization, or group of individuals whose commitments have made a difference in the city of Worcester … and help people throughout the community smile.” RECITE 10 HAIL MARYS: Talks for a union-administration compromise on the teaching changes planned for Claremont Academy next fall hit a dead end, leading to a picket outside of the last school committee meeting. It fell the same night as the police, clergy and community meeting on race relations and youth violence, however, meaning less press and less attention. A 27-year-old found dead in his Bancroft Lofts apartment is identified as Michael Deppe, who the Telegram reports served prison time after scamming 76 people out of $543,000 for tickets to the 2005 Super Bowl. Deppe was released just a few months ago. Police rule it as Worcester’s fourth homicide this year. Cause of death: gunshot wound. A gunfight erupts on the corner of King and Main streets after a verbal altercation between two groups. The Worcester Police Department arrests two and confiscates a .357 Magnum. Direct Air consumers who haven’t yet gotten refunds for unused trips on purchased tickets likely won’t ever see that money, according to financial information that the charter air service provided to a U.S. Bankruptcy court, making official what was already widely speculated. Based on their reports, it’s a miracle Direct Air wasn’t flying planes held together by gorilla glue and duct tape.

Worcester Police Chief Gary Gemme (second from right) and City Manger Mike O’Brien (far right) listen attentively during a recent forum on racial profiling, youth and gang violence.

forum on racial profiling, youth and gang violence at Claremont High School. Gemme immediately noted that there have been no complaints from city leaders or clergy members to his office supporting any allegations of race-based stops or arrests since he became chief of police in 2004. “If we’re going to have a real discussion, a real debate, let’s do it about what’s happening among communities of color,” he continued, pointing out a sobering statistic that of the 216 people shot (fatally and nonfatally) in Worcester since 2004, 81 percent come from communities of color. “The biggest cost to communities is gun violence.” That, however, was the last time gun or youth violence came up as a topic, as residents soon turned attention to neighborhood watch groups, police and the city’s response to the unfortunate arrest of then-14-year-old David Russo nearby his Hammond Heights home last summer. “What we should have conversations about [is that] there are emails going around in any community that say to look out for suspicious black Latino men,” said Isabel Gonzalez-Webster, a local advocate for the Russo family and former mayoral staffer who brought questions about neighborhood-watch profiling to then-mayor Joe O’Brien last summer – an issue reignited with David’s arrest after a neighbor spotted him exiting a garage that ended up being his own house. “What are our options?” she asked. “This happened, how can we prevent this from happening?” According to city leaders the very delayed response to addressing neighborhood concerns, and acknowledging the David Russo incident was because two of the city’s reporting continued on page 8

Would an exam school keep students in the district and school choice at bay? Jeremy Shulkin

W

ith Mayor Joe Petty’s announcement last month that he would form a committee consisting of four school committee members and interests from the business and higher-education community to look at creating an exam school in Worcester, it was in clear response to an anecdotal trend seen throughout the Worcester Public Schools: more and more Worcester Public School (WPS) students and their families are taking advantage of school choice vouchers and attending schools in outlying districts. The public school would only be open to Worcester residents and require an entrance exam to get in. In return, proponents say students would be enrolled in a small “classical” high school offering learning opportunities not available at other district schools, such as a potential international baccalaureate program. “A new exam school would offer

opportunities for students from every neighborhood to excel and elevate the public reputation of our entire school system,” Petty said when announcing his intent to form a committee. It comes at a time where Worcester has seen a sharp increase in students and families electing to attend schools outside of the city. According to Massachusetts Department of Education data, in the 2007-2008 school year, 296 students opted to leave the Worcester Public Schools for surrounding towns at a cost of $1.6 million to the district. (School choice is structured so that the sending municipalities reimburse the district that receives their students.) Those numbers have only increased since. The 2010-2011 school year saw 355 students leave for other municipalities at a cost to WPS of $1.9 million. The number of students is likely higher, as this doesn’t count the number of families opting for private or charter school education for their kids. (Those

schools, however, don’t receive district reimbursements.) Because of the services Worcester offers, like better special education programs than in the surrounding towns, the district has seen its school choice intake rise, too. In 2008 only 17 students bused in from other towns, a number that hit 75 in the 2009-2010 school year and 64 the next – bringing in $330,000. Still, that doesn’t come anywhere near the $1.9 million flowing to other districts. For one parent of a Worcester Public School student, talk of an exam school comes at an important time. “There’s so much focus on getting the kids to pass the MCAS … that we spend so much time on mediocre that we never ever look at the high kids,” says “Claire,” a parent of a fifth grader and, even more notably, a Worcester Public School secondary-school teacher. “We work so hard to get everybody to [pass MCAS that] there’s no focus on rigor.” continued on page 8

{ citydesk } Better Future Project Brittany Durgin

L

ast summer, five young women came to Worcester on their bicycles to see what the second largest city in New England is doing to protect its natural environment and to create a sustainable way of life for residents. Their visit was on behalf of the Better Future Project, an organization promoting the end of fossil fuel use. The bicyclists traveled throughout New England gathering information of how cities and towns are going green, doubling as an internship called Climate Summer provided by Better Future Project. Mass Acceleration team members Alejandra Dominquez, Samantha Burke, Alyssa Henry, Sarah Hopps and Eliza Sherpa visited Lowell, Newburyport, Salem, Waltham, Worcester, Springfield and Winchester between June and August 2011. Other Climate Summer teams visited other areas of Massachusetts as well as areas in New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut and Rhode Island, all of which comprise a State of the Movement report. The report published last week highlights green initiatives happening in New England, learned by riders during Climate Summer. Worcester fares well under the scrutiny of Mass Acceleration in comparison to other cities and towns visited. Worcester organizations and businesses recognized for their efforts to protect and create an environmentally friendly and sustainable future include Greater Worcester Land Trust, New Lands Farm, Restore, Worcester City Council, Worcester Earn-A-Bike, Worcester Energy Barnraisers, Worcester Energy Taskforce, and Youth GROW. The report notes Worcester “contains a core group of people dedicated to building a better community through sustainable methods. This group works to integrate community nonprofits and sustainability initiatives into a larger, more cohesive movement.” The well attended Solidarity Economy Conference held in July 2011 is mentioned as proof of this and Joe O’Brien – then mayor, now city councilor – is seen by Team Acceleration as “in touch with members of the sustainability community.” “The city is also beginning to recognize the connection between sustainability, equality and justice,” with the report citing Youth GROW as combining all three by bringing awareness and education of urban agriculture through community gardens in the Main South and Bell Hill neighborhoods. Earn-A-Bike is also credited for striving to include the entire Worcester community, with an emphasis on youth, in their green and sustainable practices. The report concludes “The sense of determination and collaboration found

in Worcester should be a model for surrounding areas.”

SOME NOTES ON THE GROUPS INCLUDED IN THE REPORT: “In Worcester, Massachusetts Bhutanese refugees grow produce at the New Lands Farm and sell it at several farmers’ markets in the surrounding towns. By maintaining cultural practices, a greater diversity of farming techniques becomes available and the amount of local food produced increases.” “Food education programs are essential because they not only reach children but also their families... Youth Grow in Worcester... seek[s] to teach children how to grow their own food in an urban environment, and the benefits reaped from doing so. Youth Grow helps low-income youth learn about gardening and food issues while paying them to garden. It also educates students on the difference between local, global and personal food production, and how gardens benefit communities.” “Several organizations are working to improve access to bicycles. For example, in Worcester, Massachusetts... Earn-A-Bike... allow[s] residents to fix up and then claim donated or abandoned bikes at no cost.” “The Greater Worcester Land Trust has been working for over 20 years to make nature easily accessible to the city of Worcester. The organization trains the Volunteer Conservation Rangers, who monitor 1,200 acres across greater Worcester. In addition to monitoring and protecting this space, the rangers give direct feedback to the Trust on how to maintain the land and improve access to it. The parks improve the quality of urban life by providing access to natural spaces and preserving the unique biodiversity of the area. Having hiking and outdoor recreation readily available encourages people to participate in more activities that do not run on fossil fuels, and to be more physically active.” “Worcester Energy Barnraisers offers similar opportunities for community retrofitting in central Massachusetts… The JP Green House, in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston is a retrofitted zero-carbon home, which incorporates extra-efficient insulation and passive solar heat, and operates without an external heat source. The former storefront was renovated by a small number of individuals to be a single-family home. There are several Massachusetts organizations that weatherize residences. Renew Boston, which works with the city and energyefficiency providers, offers residents and businesses free building energy audits as well as assistance paying for efficiency retrofits. The Waltham Alliance To Create Housing (WATCH) organizes home energy audits and coordinates volunteers to weatherize selected residences. Worcester Energy Barnraisers offers similar opportunities for community retrofitting in central Massachusetts.” Find out more about Climate Summer and Better Future Project at betterfutureproject.org.

mechanisms in place currently, weren’t there at the time. For instance, Sgt. John Lewis, the WPD’s affirmative action, ethnic minority affairs and clergy liaison officer, was out of the office for a lengthy period, including last summer, fighting an aggressive cancer. (“Believe me, John would bring this to me,� Gemme said as a proof that profiling doesn’t exist within the WPD.) Lewis praised the forum, calling it a “healing experience for the community to discuss openly their concerns, get their feedback to the city administration.� He reiterated that now that he’s back, reporting avenues exist so that incidents like the David’s don’t escalate. “There is an avenue,� he said about reporting, mentioning himself, the Human Rights Commission and the clergy-WPD partnership. “We received very few complaints from citizens through Sergeant John Lewis or the Human Rights Director,� a police media specialist Katie Daly wrote over email. “Most complaints come directly to the department and are investigated by the Bureau of Professional Standards. Complaints on occasion come from the City Manger’s office or through the City Council.� Compounding Lewis’ absence last year

was the vacancy in the city’s humanrights director chair after Fran Manocchio left for the director of disabilities services position at Worcester State University in early 2011, a position that wasn’t filled until the hiring of Jayna Turchek in March. The position intakes and investigates human-rights violations and discrimination in city government and “assists the public in addressing their grievances,� she explains. This doesn’t exactly satisfy GonzalezWebster, who said in an interview after the meeting that in this particular case, the system didn’t fall apart – requests were simply ignored. “What better safety net is there if someone contacts the mayor of the city who emails the City Manager?� she asked. “Those safety nets are in place for those who don’t know where to go. To say it was system failure was ridiculous.� This leaves the city and people like Gonzalez-Webster in an odd stand-off: The city says order has been restored, while those who wanted their concerns in Hammond Heights addressed say that wasn’t the issue. “I want to know what the process is if someone calls their councilor [with a complaint],� Gonzalez-Webster asks. “What is the process to have action taken?�

SCHOOL CHOICE continued from page 6

The exam school would, ostensibly, be targeted at student’s like Claire’s son, who she describes as “incredibly bright.� “If you’re getting 100s on everything that’s coming home, you’re clearly not being challenged,� she points out. Eileen Potter, who sends her daughter to Worcester Academy (with some financial support from the school) after completing kindergarten through sixth grade at Worcester Arts Magnet, had similar complaints. “Worcester Arts Magnet [was] a great school but she (and we) still felt that she was ostracized for being a ‘smart kid,’� Potter wrote over email. “We didn’t want that to continue into Middle School; we wanted her to be at a school where being smart was truly valued.� Claire feels a similar lack of choices, with options of Burncoat Middle, the Goddard Scholars program at Sullivan Middle School and South High School, or out of district. (The charter schools haven’t attracted her or her son’s attention and she says she doesn’t have the financial resources for private school.) If she chooses Burncoat, they will have the same dilemma about high school in two years, while the Goddard Scholars program doesn’t offer a variety of electives. (Though she does say South

High could be an attractive option because of their expanding AP and honors program.) “I feel like we have thrown out every idea out there,� she says. “It would be nice to have another option,� as she discusses an exam school. Potter says it’s probably too late for her family to take advantage of any new school that may or may not open in Worcester, but “if we hadn’t already gone down the private school road, I would be very, very interested in sending her to an exam school,� she adds. Just like those tasked with making this a feasible option for the district, Potter worries about cost, questioning if the money’s available at a budget-challenging time. “If they somehow figured how to do it and more importantly how to pay for it, I think it would be a very positive thing for the city and would keep more families like ours in the school district.� That should be music to the administration’s ears. It sure sounds better than the rolling of bus tires across city limits.

more commercial property owners are reporting huge jumps in the assessed value of their properties and the city council looks to set the residential and commercial tax rates for last year on May 21, the Worcester Chamber of Commerce sent out a rallying call to members on Tuesday. “We, the business community, can still sow the seed of fear and concern over the reality of massive property valuation hikes and the resulting hikes in tax bills,” the letter reads. While the sentiments aren’t surprising, the publicity is. “We’ve always talked about and worked behind the scenes on it,” says Director Dick Kennedy, of the Chamber’s past tax rate negotiations with city government, but with a DEFCON 1 sentiment among business owners the Chamber went for a more public push.

ALL APOLOGIES: Amid the Worcester Clergy/Police Community Partnership forum on youth violence and race-relations last Thursday Claudia Russo outlined years of incidents showing her son as the target of stops and questioning by neighbors and authority figures in their Hammond Heights neighborhood. After praising WPI and the City Manager for finally reaching out to her son, David, she asked the police brass in attendance, “Why is it so hard to say I’m sorry?” (A quote which later ran as the headline to the T&G’s coverage of the meeting.) Reverends Jose Encarnacion and Aaron Payson, central figures in the Clergy/WPD program and moderators for the forum, addressed Russo with their own apology after her pleas elicited no response from the WPD. “That was a very surreal moment,” said one attendee. “To have the clergy there apologize for the police, who were silent.” Encarnacion and Payson could not be reached before press time, but WPD Chief Gary Gemme didn’t see it the same way. “It was clear to me that they were speaking for themselves and there was no concern on my part that the Clergy was speaking for the police department,” Gemme wrote to Worcester Mag. “I do not feel any obligation to respond to Ms. Russo… What seems to be overlooked by some, including Ms. Russo, is the fact that a Worcester police officer was assaulted and kicked. I fully support the actions of the Worcester police officer and I believe that at a minimum he is the one who deserves an apology.” … For the Russo’s part, they’ve readily discussed the details of David’s altercation with officers last summer, and he’s said he regrets them. Claudia has insisted that the responding officers shouldn’t have let the altercation escalate the way it did. MEDIA FIGHT: Besides being an all-around great party, Worcester Mag’s Best Of celebration at the Worcester Regional Airport (see, it’s still being used!) on Monday led to some waves in the local media world when multiple guests saw an, uh, animated conversation between T&G columnist Dianne Williamson, WTAG morning host Jim Polito and later, Worcester Mag columnist Janice Harvey who entered late and separate Williamson. Polito brought it up the next morning on his show, telling listeners that Williamson instigated it by approaching him angry about personal attacks he’s made about her on air. Polito couldn’t comment, citing company chain-of-command, but based on his on-air remarks and a post-fight interview with Williamson, the two agree on the sentiments exchanged but not how they were said. (Disclosure: I was standing about ten feet away from the exchange but could only hear snippets of Polito’s remarks.) Williamson maintains she didn’t swear on purpose: “I hope you quote me directly [on your show],” she says she began when she introduced herself to him, “I think you’re a pathetic piece of crap.” Polito recanted differently the next morning. “She kept swearing. She asked ‘Why do you talk about my body?’ I said, ‘Dianne, with all due respect I don’t do much talking about your body.’” While Williamson says her writing is fair game for criticism, things like her physical appearance or sexual orientation shouldn’t be talk radio fodder. Polito says the motivation was that someone in the media takes her to task. “I did say this to Dianne, you’re a big fish in a small pond. You’re upset because I have challenged you and it’s kind of sad and it’s kind of pathetic. You’re trying to tell me you don’t care about it, yet you sought me out in this room.” Through all their differences, both at least agreed on one thing: using a schoolyard metaphor to describe the encounter. “I really felt like I was in the presence of a kid trying to be the popular girl in the room,” Polito said on his show, while afterward Williamson called him a “nasty high school nerd seeking attention.” This concludes Worcesteria’s brief foray into TMZ-dom.

Report

have no reason to apologize

Gary Rosen

L

ast week I attended a meeting at Claremont Academy that was supposed to provide police, clergy, community activists and elected officials with an opportunity to address two topics – the prevalence of racial profiling and the marked increase in gun violence in Worcester. While several prominent members of the aforementioned groups participated, it was disappointing that ordinary residents of some of our most threatened neighborhoods were not present. Unfortunately, no discussion of gun violence occurred because several finger-pointing individuals were there only to falsely accuse the Worcester Police Department of racial profiling. There is absolutely no evidence of such unacceptable behavior by Chief Gemme or his officers. But who needs evidence when you can manipulate and use young and fragile David Russo as a pawn in your search for police misconduct. I refer to the well-publicized case of a teen resident of the Hammond Heights neighborhood, which had been experiencing an uptick in house breaks. Last summer, a neighbor called police when he saw Russo entering a home. What the neighbor didn’t realize was that Russo

was entering his own home. That well-intentioned but unnecessary 911 call set off a regrettable chain of events. For some reason, the WPI police responded even though they have little jurisdiction and responsibility for public safety on city streets away from their campus. A college police officer met up with David, who was now on a nearby street, and approached him aggressively in speech and manner. Trouble was inevitable because David, a Romanian boy suffering from emotional and medical disabilities and challenges, had been warned repeatedly by his adoptive mother to expect unjust treatment from police and society. So he became agitated and angry and whacked the campus cop. Soon the Worcester police arrived and did what they are trained and paid to do. They quickly assessed the situation and determined that David had struck the WPI officer. The teen was cuffed and arrested. The action that the WPD took was standard and acceptable operating procedure. There was no racism or discrimination. I listened to David Russo and his bright, articulate and protective mom speak at the Claremont meeting. She made a passionate and persuasive case that David’s background and health challenges, among others, were responsible for his reaction to the events of last summer.

And I was just as impressed when David stated that he wants to contribute to his community in a positive way. But he also said that “mistakes happen.” And he is right. Mistakes are made by vigilant neighbors, college cops and even falsely accused teenagers who sometimes think that fists first is an appropriate response. As a high-school teacher for over 30 years and an adoptive parent myself, I understand that David’s mom wants to shield him from harm, soothe his pain and promote his health and happiness. But it’s dangerous for her to repeatedly tell him that he should expect to be the object of racial profiling and injustice in our community. Such warnings might encourage bad behavior including defiance of authority. The entire Russo incident was unfortunate. But hopefully it will lead to helpful and healing dialogue among police, city officials, clergy, community activists and city residents of all ages and ethnicities. In any case, at the Claremont Academy meeting, Mrs. Russo asked Police Chief Gary Gemme, “Why is it so hard for the police to say I’m sorry?” But I think Mrs. Russo knows the answer to her question. Since no racial profiling took place, no apology will be forthcoming.

Mayday, mayday Too bad Holy Cross didn’t do the right thing and make a PILOT payment (Payment In Lieu Of Taxes) to keep the main branch of the library open on Mondays, more Sundays, and more evenings. Over 1,500 people a day go to the main branch of the library. It is one of the few reasons why people go Downtown. A bookmobile is nice, but keeping the main branch of the library open more often would help serve many more people. Too bad Holy Cross just can’t do the right thing.

The UPCS-ification of Claremont Academy You are correct! Students need to be held responsible for their school work. Responsibility needs to be emphasize in our schools. Teachers are held responsible in designing engaging lessons, and students need to be held responsible for completing their classwork and homework, as well as studying for their tests. We do not help students mature into successful citizens if we do not teach them to be responsible. It starts at home and should continue in the classroom. Submitted online by ALWAY S A TEAC HER

PCB concerns W

orcester is scheduled to spend 1.3 million to encapsulate the caulking of windows, lighting fixture replacement, and to clean the ventilation systems in schools suspected of being contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). This work is being done based on the assumption that caulk containing PCBs was used in many buildings, including schools, during building construction, renovation, or repair from the 1950s through the late 1970s. Worcester has not tested any of the buildings to determine if in fact the buildings contain PCBs and if they do contain PCBs, determine what is the level of contamination. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) outlines 4 steps to determine if PCBs are present in caulk and surrounding material; Worcester has only followed 1 of the 4 steps. The steps are: • Review records of when a building was constructed. • Consider air testing to determine levels of PCBs and the safety threshold. • Test the caulk to determine presence and concentration of PCBs • Test nearby material for PCBs as PCBs can migrate into surrounding material.

four locations, the approximate cost per school would be around $3000 or $81,000 for all 27 schools. Testing would beneficial for several reasons. First, the testing would determine if remediation is necessary in all 27 schools. If there are no PCBs present, the school would not need to remediate, thus saving money for other much needed projects. Second, if testing proved there are PCBs present it would determine the levels and placement of the PCBs. Perhaps encapsulate the caulking of windows is not enough to correct the problem. Third, testing would give us a base level of PCB contamination so that we can test after remediation to see the problem has been fixed. Furthermore, I advocate that we test at school buildings that house head start programs, like the Mill Swan School, as PCB contamination can lead to poor cognitive development in children. In today’s tough budgetary times, we need to ensure that our tax dollars are being spent wisely. We all care about PCBs and want to correct the problem. Instead of attacking this problem broadly, where there might not be a problem, we should assess, test, and correct if needed. Do not waste 1.3 million dollars; rather use the money where it is needed.

EPA web site lists the approximate cost of such testing as $550 for an air test, $100 for caulk analysis, and $100 for a soil sample. Estimating that each school tests in

Radio Free Worcester HOW LOCAL RADIO IS ADAPTING TO CHANGES IN THE ANALOG LANDSCAPE Jeremy Shulkin

“We need to talk to the owner of the building,” demanded two men in suits paying a visit to a piece of Worcester commercial property in 2010. “We see an antenna and a wire coming down the building to the sixth floor.”

The owner complied, bringing the two men upstairs where they pushed file

unexpected. On April 15, 2010, some days before the men in suits arrived, Flava 105.5, a Latin/Caribbean-centric radio station received a warning from the FCC. “On March 4, 2010, agents from this office confirmed by direction-finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 105.5 MHz were emanating from your studio/transmitter location…The Commission’s records show that no license was issued for operation of a broadcast station on 105.5 MHz at this location in Worcester, MA.” The years 2009 to 2011 were busy ones for the FCC in Worcester. The agency sent

in the notices, there seem to be what look like a lot of Latino and Haitian names.” “The takeaway from this is that there are still a lot of communities and groups who are not well served by licensed broadcasters, leading a significant number of people to take to the air without a license to fill the void.” The mission statement on the Flava 105.5 website jibes with Radio Survivor’s assessment: “With so little variety and cultural diversity on the air-waves [sic] in Worcester Flava Radio commit to delivering a new hartbeat [sic] to Worcester.” STEVEN KING

One vaulted over a half-wall and located the cord powering the pirate radio station. “It’s a $10,000 fine for this to be running right now,” one of the suited men said, adding that the building owner could be fined as well. “You might think about unplugging it,” one added. Once the power was shut off and dead air hit the frequency, they added, “We’ve been tracking this guy for two years.” This Federal Communications Commission “raid” wasn’t exactly

similar letters to a different operator of 105.5 FM in April 2009, and two different operators of 102.9 FM in April 2010 and November 2011. (The FCC did not return an inquiry asking for more information.) The enforcement actions caught the attention of the blog Radio Survivor noting the large number of notifications the Boston bureau of the FCC sent out in 2010 throughout New England, leading author Paul Riismandel to surmise, “I’d say there’s a pretty big pirate scene going on in southern New England…just looking over the names of the persons identified

RADIO GAGA

Radio in Worcester has a long and wild history, from WCUW starting at Clark University in 1920 under adviser Robert Goddard (of modern rocketry fame), to the station becoming the flag bearer for the local punk scene in the 1970s

and 1980s. WAAF captured Massachusetts’ hearts and minds, broadcasting from the Worcester area until focusing its efforts on Boston. WTAG, which used to be affiliated with the Telegram & Gazette newspaper, has broadcast for over 90 years. But radio in the 21st century looks a lot different than it did even 20 years ago, and while Flava 105.5 may have been unlicensed, legitimate local stations have adopted the same model: community first. “It’s all about local, local, local,” says Bob Zompa, the market manager for Cumulus Worcester, the parent company to 104.5 WXLO, 100 FM The Pike and WORC 98.9. It’s this local focus that have station managers saying they’re not sweating the rise of online streaming that lets listeners hear stations live from across the world, customizable radio like Pandora, or even newer programs like Spotify. “People do have other options now,” Zompa says, but he likens it to TV: more programming means more choices, but the audience hasn’t diminished. Plus, he points out, Pandora and Spotify didn’t know tornadoes would devastate Springfield and Central Massachusetts last summer. “You’re not reaching the same amount of people you were 10 years ago,” allows Hank Stolz, WCRN’s program and morning director, but he echoes Zompa’s sentiments: “For what we do [local newstalk], you can’t replace that with satellite radio.” “Radio listening year over year is remaining pretty steady,” says Kim Myers, a spokesperson from Arbitron, a mediaresearch firm that radio stations subscribe to for marketing information and performance data. “Just because Pandora is taking off doesn’t mean radio is in sharp decline.” Still, others admit there’s more uncertainty in the business than radiostation owners will admit. “Radio is facing competition from other media – new media, Pandora, cable newstalk, satellite,” says Michael Harrison, publisher of Talkers, a trade magazine self-described as “the bible of talk radio and the new talk media.” “It’s a new world,” he suggests.

AIRHEADS

Here’s what Arbitron, and by extension local radio stations, know about the local market.

First, Arbitron lists Worcester as a “two book market,” which means they publish numbers to subscriber stations twice a year, rather than monthly (like they would in larger areas). There are 905,000 radio listeners ages 12 years old and up in the Worcester market, who average 16.5 hours of listening per week over the dial (not including internet streams). They also track the average commute to work in the Worcester market: 25 minutes. “The more time people spend in their car the more they spend listening to radio,” informs Myers. “People don’t realize how much time they spend listening to radio.” “This is actually a really nice radio market,” says Zompa, likely because there’s only one daily newspaper, no network TV news stations and millions of people. “You’re kind of in one of those

{ coverstory } areas where local radio still makes a difference.” It’s also diverse. Among the seven stations Zompa counts that broadcast out of Worcester there’s little overlap. “Everybody has their niche format. We all have a real central core that we superserve.” Yet there is some overlap. Zompa, for example, points out that WTAG, which broadcasts on both the FM and AM dials, competes with the AM only WCRN for morning and afternoon news and talk listeners.

WHO RULES THE AIRWAVES?

(like WCUW), religious and nonprofit commercial (WICN). Troy Tyree, WCUW’s director and lone paid employee, says while his station is “the alternative to the FM dial in Worcester,” (the same could be said about WCHC), Holy Cross radio probably appeals to a younger audience. The difference, he says, is the volunteer DJs. “Our DJs are older. They have a very long history at WCUW.” Take, for instance, Captain PJ, a WCUW mainstay who passed his 2,000 show at the end of 2010. WCHC, on the other hand, takes its cues from the college rock’s heyday, when campus stations were alternative outlets in college towns across the country. “The gradient between underground and mainstream [music] is more blurred right now,” allows Cat Flynn, a graduating senior who’s leaving her duties as station manager as well as her Thursday night show, Funky Time with Kitty and Tea. But, she says, the station can still be “alternative in a sense that you’re getting something you wouldn’t hear on any other mainstream radio station.” Peter McStravick, the rising senior, DJ and external music director who will take over Flynn’s duties as station manager next year, says that even in the age of Pandora and Spotify, there’s still room for radio to “break” bands. Two recent examples, he says would be Foster the People and Mumford and Sons, two

bands that relied on heavy alternative station airplay when they first released their records and have now waded into mainstream territory. That doesn’t mean there hasn’t been shuffling. Nearly all of them have done some retooling by adding shows, changing formats or simply making it easier to listen to their stations through the internet. WICN, the local NPR affiliate that played a staple of jazz and folk music, has quietly gone through some major changes in the past year. Weston started his GM tenure last July and rebranded the station as jazz-plus, which means it’s primarily jazz, then flips to soul, triple 8, folk or latin music when other larger area NPR affiliates, like WGBH, switches from news to jazz. “We believe in not duplicating services,” says Weston, who revamped public radio in Louisville, Ky., before coming to

Not every station in the Worcester market subscribes to Arbitron, but of the ones who do, here’s how they performed last fall, ranked by the average number of people who listened to the station for more than five minutes in a 15-minute time span: 1) WSRS 2) WAAF 3) WTAG 4) WEEI 5) WVEI 6) WMKK 7) WRKO

Worcester. “We’re the only station in New England playing this much jazz.” Even though he says the most dominant NPR format is news and talk, in his eyes WGBH and WBUR can have “All Things Considered,” “Car Talk” and “Morning Edition.” “It gives us a huge niche that we’re the NPR music station.” To capitalize on this, for the first time WICN has a sales department “to evangelize what we are …. and the audience we attract.” Similarly, WCUW relies on what sets it apart to keep it going. While it doesn’t have salespeople, Tyree says “it’s our diversity that is our marketing tool.”

WCUW has made changes too, shuffling its daily schedule to one more uniform during the weekday, upgrading equipment and experimenting with live concerts. “We’re coming of age here,” says Tyree, who’s been at the station in some capacity since the mid-1980s, but took over as executive director four years

ago after the station hit a rough patch. “We have something we feel we can really market,” he says.

{ coverstory } Part of that marketing is the resurrection of John Henry’s, a longrunning Worcester folk showcase that hosted some of the genre’s big names, like Shawn Colvin, at the First Unitarian Church on Main Street, and in-studio concerts in front of live audiences. WCRN has tried to square itself up with WTAG in the news and talk arena, first, hiring Hank Stolz, and later, scooping up longtime newsman Sherman Whitman to join him in the mornings after Premiere Networks/Clear Channel cuts forced WTAG to make cutbacks. Recently, Stolz says, they brought in local name Bob Hoganson for afternoon news. “When you have big conglomerates like Clear Channel with these news hubs, you want a couple of guys who know Worcester and Central Massachusetts in here,” Stolz says.

Like his tagline says, “Get your day started with all the news and talk you need” with Hank Stolz of WCRN 830AM. Huckabee’s show, who after the Sandra Fluke controversy, has been pitched as the civil alternative to Rush Limbaugh. “The energy that we have over the last year, adding Sherman and Bob Hoganson to the news, all of these things, the energy level and the reaction we’re getting from listeners is huge,” Stolz says. It’s increased the quality of the shows, he says, making them more caller-driven, but he’s candid when he says WTAG is still the talk station to beat. “Eventually, all that catches up and the ratings go through the roof.”

“It’s the big companies who are cutting back on the investment they’re putting in on the programming,” he says, which leads to shrinking staff. That then leads to less local content, which means fewer listeners, which means fewer advertisers. In a sense, it’s similar to the struggles in the journalism world, where newspaper groups who ate up smaller regional papers during the flush years have been selling them off, starving them or closing them when the economy tanked. “Through consolidation, large companies, like Clear Channel, bought up clusters of stations in a market, fired staff and talent, and homogenized the programming so that the same program director would program all the Top

40 stations across a dozen markets,” Riismandel, of Radio Survivor, writes to Worcester Mag. “So what happened is that stations across the country sounded more the same, with the same mix of music, which then sounded less local.” For nonmusic stations, the same trends happened to their newsrooms. “No doubt, these new platforms would have been a challenge for radio under any circumstances. But the commercial radio industry only accelerated their problems by diluting their programming, which is the very thing that attracts audiences in the first place,” he adds. The clearest way to retain listeners has been to live-stream from a station’s website, allowing fans to tune in from work or on their smart phone. Every station in Worcester offers that option, with varying success. Zompa says depending on the month 63,000 to 81,000 people tune into Cumulus Worcester stations online, clocking around 100,000 hours of listening time. “Those are pretty substantial numbers,” he says, especially for Worcester. Stolz estimates a high of 100 people listening online during Howie Carr’s afternoon broadcast on WCRN, and Tyree says its web stream constantly shows eight to 20 people listening online – though keep in mind that the number of listeners is higher, as people tune in and out. Though, online streaming comes with its own issues. As Harrison explains it, owning a radio station – transmitter included – is sort of like owning a combination of a house and taxi cab. Radio stations, like houses, represent long-term investments; pay an exorbitant amount of money now with the sense that, decades later, someone, somewhere will pay more for it when you’re ready to sell. The license and the transmitter transfer with the station, much like a taxi medallion would with the purchase of a cab. The FCC doesn’t give out many new broadcast licenses, making each existing one worth a considerable amount of money. But as a transmitted signal loses listeners, perhaps due to more listeners migrating to digital streams online, the station loses value. “The worst thing that could happen to [a station] is it’s stock value could go down,” says Harrison, “[this is] worse than competition, worse than loss of advertising.” As internet radio streams through an unlicensed band, “you’re out money in as much as it’s causing a devaluation of the license,” making it worth less when an owner wants to sell it, he explains. Zompa disagrees with the analogy, but it’s something that sits on Weston’s mind at WICN. “It’s not sacrificing one for the other,” Weston says about the station’s analogue versus digital transmissions. “It’s figuring out how one can help the other. That to me is the $64,000 question. I’m not sure

{ coverstory } anyone has the magic key yet.” “We’re a lot closer to figuring it out today than we were 10 years ago,” says Harrison, who believes the internet should be used for brand-building and “extra stuff.” Some of that “extra stuff” would mean podcasts, which some local stations are experimenting with. WTAG regularly has on-demand clips of the Jim Polito and Jordan Levy shows, for example, and Tyree says WCUW is looking into podcasting but has to shore up some of the legal issues around them first.

“I’m optimistic that smart people and smart ideas will prevail,” Harrison says.

THE HARDER THEY FALL

Riismandel isn’t too sympathetic to stations trying to keep up with a changing market.

“Commercial radio is primarily focused on a narrow number of formats which are tied to familiar demographics,” he writes. “The logic of commercial radio has been to compete for these demographics rather than look for new audiences to serve.” He says this is how markets end up with similar radio stations: they likely belong to the same company. In this sense, Worcester has a diverse set of stations—among them college rock, jazz and talk—and strong station signals coming in from Boston, but a lack

continued from page 17

of diversity when it comes to stations engaging in Worcester’s communities. “When it comes to ‘urban’ radio programming, Worcester was forced to listen to Jam’n 94.5,” says John Harrity, a former Flava 105.5 and current club DJ with the moniker DJ Jack Frost. Frost joined Flava 105.5 a little while after it started broadcasting, when it focused on West Indies, Jamaican and Haitian music, eventually bringing in more reggae, dancehall and hip hop. Andres Perez, program director at Worcester’s Spanish-language Mega 1310AM, saw a similar lack of broadcasting to a growing population. Five years ago Gois Broadcasting bought WORC 1310 and changed the format to salsa, meringue, bachata, reggaeton and Latin pop. Three years ago he expanded into the Boston, Lawerence and Lowell markets with the same idea: music geared toward the sizable Puerto Rican, Dominican and Central American audiences. Mega 1310 became the first commercial Spanish radio station in Worcester, he says, adding that it’s still the only 24-hour one. He counts 33,000 listeners and brags, “You can ask anybody who’s Latino on the street what they listen to, and they’ll say it’s 1310.”

“The radio audience is still very large,” writes Riismandel. “I’d argue that the commercial broadcast industry helped to chase away listeners and failed to take advantage of internet strategies until very recently.” DJ Jack Frost has decided on an alternative route. From Flava 105.5 he moved on to Boston hip hop station Hot 97, but after some turmoil with their FCC license and questions about their future, he took off and started an online station with another Hot 97 personality, DJ Chubby Chub, called streetfixradio.com. According to Frost, most Sherman Whitman broadcasts from the street-front studio of WCRN mix-show DJs (those who host a one- or two-hour show on a “It’s kind of cool knowing that someone So far it has broadcast for the last five commercial station) do not receive across the globe is sitting there listening weeks, with a full site expected to go up a salary from the station, but rather rely to you, even if they don’t speak the same in another two weeks.

Sound Laurence Levey

Sound meets image in Photographic Harmony, a whimsical new exhibit courtesy of the Worcester Alliance of Photographers opening May 19 at the Worcester Academy of Music on Irving NICKS BY RUSS GARRE Street. Even if you’ve never strummed a guitar or banged on a drum, these 43 photos are guaranteed to pull your strings and tickle your ivories.

The academy, housed in a beautiful old red brick building with nine music studios, some serious wood flooring, and a couple of fine stained-glass windows, is a community music school started two years ago by owner and executive director Sarah Kelly. The school’s students include children as young as five or six, teenagers and adults, with instruction available on a variety of instruments and in a range of musical styles and genres. There are approximately a dozen teachers on staff, but if an individual seeks instruction on an instrument outside the staff’s areas of expertise, whatever the instrument, the academy will endeavor to find a qualified teacher. The Worcester Academy of Music has exhibited artwork for much of its two years of existence. This upcoming show will run for six months. The Worcester Alliance of Photographers was formed nine years ago by Donna Dufault and Scott Erb of Erb Photography in Worcester. Dufault and Erb met around the time Dufault was pursuing a B.F.A. in Photography at Rochester Institute of Technology and have been working together now for five years. Of the more than 700 members of the Worcester Alliance, Dufault categorizes 100 to 200 as “very active.” There were more than one hundred submissions from more than 35 members for this exhibit. Some of the photographers used works from their existing archives, while others went out and created new images. The Worcester Alliance of Photographers includes both amateur and professional photographers and most of the art in this exhibit will be for sale, at prices ranging from about $75 up to $500 or $600; 20 percent of the proceeds will go to the music school. And what of the photos themselves? There are quiet studies in black and white; and there are dazzling displays of bold, breathtaking color. There are children captured unawares, and others playing to the camera. There are instruments: guitars, double basses, woodwinds, keyboards and more. There are individuals performing, individuals practicing, individuals posing. There are singers, conductors and instrumentalists, soloists, duets and ensembles. There are shots that zero in on the inner workings of things and behind-the-scenes detail and others with artfully arranged and playfully composed musical concepts. There are both indoor concert venues and open-air settings, in-the-moment snapshots of both performer and audience. The energy, effort, concentration and dedication of the musicians become palpable. From the contemplative to the nearly psychedelic, these photos reveal a MUSIC IS SERVED BY DENNIS DITTO curiosity about music, the joy of music-making, the thrill of attending live performances and an appreciation of those who make music come alive for all of us. So wear comfortable shoes because there will be photographs arrayed on the walls of all three stories at the academy. Cookies and light refreshments will be served at the family-friendly opening and in addition to the three organizers, several of the photographers will also be on hand. “I love the fact that the show is bringing together two culturally rich traditions in one space,” says Dufault. “It will be inspiring to all the students,” says Kelly, as well as to all who come to check out the synergy of these pictures. Photographic Harmony will run May 19 through November 1, 2012. Opening Reception: May 19, 5 – 7 p.m., free. Worcester Academy of Music is located at 11 Irving St., Worcester.

Like father, like daughter Two Generations of Art in Whitinsville

Paul Grignon

Driving a scant 17 miles south of Worcester brings you to the Alternatives’ Whitin Mill complex in Whitinsville, where, nestled along the picturesque Mumford River, two galleries await you. Featured within is a wealth of stained glass, drawings and paintings from artists Carl E. Paulson and his daughter, Elin K. Paulson, in the dual exhibit Two Generations of Art.

The two shows provide a unique opportunity to witness the different approaches to art from two generations of the same family. The exhibit also highlights the techniques used for making stained glass windows, from early sketches to the finished product.

20

At the Spaulding Aldrich Heritage Gallery, Carl E. Paulson presents his show, The Color of Faith, where a remarkable collection of more than 30 pastel drawings, stained-glass pieces and religious medallions are on display. The stained glass medallions are meant to be hung in windows, allowing natural light to illuminate the intense colors. “As for the drawings, I found a lot of them that were found in drawers, unknown and going back 50 years!” says Stephen Paulson, one of Carl Paulson’s 10 children, who helped curate the show along with Tom Saupe, Alternatives’ director of community outreach. Saupe says, “Every two months we have a show here, and we are honored and excited to have these two shows running simultaneously. It’s a great way to give back to the community,

BRING

THE HEAT

giving people the opportunity to view the diverse talents that appear on these gallery walls.”

Paulson, the father, who is now 98 years old, started creating stained glass 80 years ago while attending the Vesper

George Art School of Boston. In 1939, he opened up his own stained glass studio, called the The Raven Shop, where he taught all of his children the art of making stained glass. The works displayed in “The Color of Faith” present a fascinating look into the intricacy inherent in such a medium. A trove of meticulously detailed drawings and watercolors evinces the initial stages to creating the exquisite masterpieces, carefully drawn sketches that provide the patron a vivid glimpse of works prior to commission. To fully appreciate the unparalleled genius of his work, one only need visit the many examples of his creations throughout the Northeast, notably the 11 locations right here in Worcester. The abstract stained-glass windows at the Chapel of the Holy Spirit at Assumption College were produced by Carl Paulson based on the design of Father Donat LaMothe. Another spectacular vision can be seen at the Emmanuel Lutheran Church continued on page 22

A Baroque Mother’s day Michele Graveline and Stephen Hammer perform at WAM Jonathan Blumhofer

In New England, the turn of the calendar to spring signals the winding down of the regular classical music season. While one can find orchestral and chamber programs in cities like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco continuing well into June, ensembles in the Northeast traditionally transition a little earlier to a rich summer schedule that includes the Boston Pops, Tanglewood, the Marlboro Music Festival, and the Rockport Chamber Music Festival, to name but a few.

Before the focus shifts to lighter music and rural settings, though, the Worcester Art Museum’s (WAM) Chamber Music Series is concluding an especially rich season with a special Mother’s Day concert on May 13. Sponsored by a gift from Nydia and Charles Moser, the Chamber Music Series has already this year presented members of the

and 1750, including some familiar pieces and others that are less well known. Composer John Bull was, alongside Orlando Gibbons and William Byrd, a contemporary of Shakespeare’s and one of the leading English composers of his time. He will be represented by four short pieces for virginal (the English equivalent to the harpsichord, named for its most famous player, Queen Elizabeth I). Andrew Parcham’s “Solo for Recorder and Continuo,” provides Hammer the opportunity to showcase his abilities on

one of the period’s most iconic instruments. Similarly, Bach’s French Suite in G – a collection of Baroque dance movements – allows Graveline a turn in the solo spotlight. Bracketing these pieces will be two works for harpsichord and oboe, Handel’s Sonata in F major (HWV 363a) and Bach’s Sonata in G minor (BWV 1030b). Though this concert marks the first time that Graveline and Hammer have collaborated together in a full recital, continued on page 22

in Worcester on Greenwood Street, where Carl Paulson created the enormous 40-by40-foot stained-glass window. And yet another superlative example would be the 24 works of stained glass in the St. Joan of Arc Church on Lincoln Street, designs that commemorate the 94 people killed during the Worcester tornado of 1953. “About 90 percent of the work in the exhibit of my father is of a religious tone, and 10 percent is secular, including one actual piece that was designed in honor of that tragic event,” says Stephen Paulson. Just across the way from the Aldrich Gallery, and located in the Red Brick Mill Building, is the Bella Lucé Art Café, where Elin Paulson’s show, Above the Clouds, is on display; a wonderfully evocative collection of paintings, stained glass, diaries and handmade greeting cards. Elin Paulson, who died in 2006, created most of these works in the last 20 years of her life. She never went to school, but under the tutelage of her father, she developed her own individual style, creating more whimsical, secular stained glass. Many of her medallions are hung in the windows to capture the vivid hues. More than 30 of her works are exhibited, and many of her abstract dreamlike paintings line the

walls, motifs that are reminiscent of Chagall’s surrealistic work. Along with the paintings and medallions, a collection of her detailed diaries are on display, pages filled with watercolors, drawings, sketches and writings, insights into the inner workings of a talented artist. There is also a collection of her delightful cards, beautiful designs that she made and sent to family and friends. Both exhibits allow visitors a rare chance to view a rich family tradition, one that continues to this day. “My brother Ken is now running the business, now named Paulson’s Stained Glass Art Studio,” says Stephen Paulson, who also displays a few of his fish

neither is a stranger to the Boston/ Worcester classical music scene: in addition to teaching at Assumption College, Graveline conducts the Salisbury Singers and serves as artistic director of the Bach Consort of Worcester. She is noted for her harpsichord playing and recently completed a recording of the complete Bach sonatas for violin and harpsichord with violinist Peter Sulski. Hammer is one of the country’s leading performers specializing in Baroque oboe performance. He has taught and performed widely throughout the United States, particularly the Northeast, and has a large discography, including collaborations with such ensembles as the Handel and Haydn Society (where he serves as principal oboe), the Academy of Ancient Music, and the Metropolitan Opera. As with all of WAM’s Chamber Music concerts, there will be a 15-minute intermission talk, this one provided by museum director Matthias Waschek. Afterwards, meet and mingle with the musicians at a complimentary postconcert reception. Reservations are required and cost is $20 for members, $30 NM; contact Karmen Bogdesic at 508-799-4406, ext. 3120, or karmenbogdesic@worcesterart.org to reserve your spot.

Sixties horror soap reanimated Dark Shadows Grade: B -

I shouldn’t have been so surprised that Burton and company would take a relatively obscure baby boomer trinket like this and play it for laughs. Actually, I have to admit to a fondness for the original TV show that seems to exist somewhere back in the deep recesses of my childhood memories. It was a bizarre animal to be sure, a nearly-live daytime gothic soap opera that evolved in complexity and became more inscrutable as it went along, from ghosts, vampires, witches and werewolves to sci-fi elements like time travel. In that grab bag sort of way it was like “Lost,” except that everyone knew they were making it up as they went along. And though the acting was hammy and often overwrought, characters like Barnabas Collins, with his distinctive cape and cane and his menacing charm were indelible creations. Burton and Depp have both professed to be fans of this show, and you can see it in the way Depp has channeled the elegant self-possession and old world grace of the vampire character Barnabas, and the way Burton plays on the Victorian drawing room atmosphere, puncturing the perversely calm reserve of the denizens of Collinwood, who always seemed like they were living in the middle of an Emily Bronte novel, rather than a seaport town in Maine in the late 1960’s. After a whirlwind opening flashback, where we learn how the evil Angelique (Eve Green) cursed Barnabas, Burton

As a director back in the late 80’s Tim Burton was a fresh original stylist when he first developed his distinctive fantasy/horror/comedy vision with Beetlejuice. Over the years however he’s often fallen into predictability in his quest to re-imagine every last bit of iconic pop culture lore from his youth. “Dark Shadows” plays by all the now-familiar rules of a Burton film, and yet manages to be something different.

sets the film firmly in 1972. We quickly meet all the characters: Victoria Winters (Bella Heathcote) the new governess, prim matron of the household Elizabeth Collins (Michelle Pfeiffer), lusty psycho teen daughter Carolyn (Chloe Grace Moretz), psychologically damaged, morose David (Gulliver McGrath), whose mother has recently drowned. Burton lays into the period atmosphere with relish, Carolyn swaying dreamily to Donovan’s “Season of the Witch” as David appears dressed up like a ghost, inviting echoes of the suicidal charge in Harold and Maude, as well as a nod to the vivid visual style of Hal Ashby as well as his disciples like Wes Anderson. It isn’t long before a work crew digs up Barnabas from his coffin, and he summarily slaughters and dines on them all. He then looks up and sees the golden arches of a McDonald’s restaurant and believes that it is proclaiming Mephistopheles. Good stuff. From there its obvious Burton’s going shamelessly for the funny bone. Barnabas walks around the small Maine town to the tune of Superfly, none of the extravagantly dressed kids paying attention to his dripping fangs. We get sunny montages to the tune of Carpenters song where Barnabas is seen trying to hide in shadows and behind curtains, and ridiculously enough he seems to have no problem with daylight, as long as he’s standing under an umbrella. It’s all very silly, and the jokey scenes like where Barnabas first confronts a TV set all seem very familiar. Then there’s Alice Cooper, who overstays his welcome, appearing and performing two songs in full. It’s a good gag though: Cooper wore hideous makeup back then that made him look the way he actually does now. Really the whole thing would have degenerated into lightweight parody without Depp’s charismatic presence at the center of it. As it is, however, Depp’s canny performance and Burton’s obvious affection for his subject matter manage to negotiate effectively the thin line between darkly funny and just plain stupid.

New chips on the block Mallory Sterling

In my transplant-to-Worcester opinion, the Kelley Square intersection is an intimidating spaghetti-mess of stopping and yielding. It’s taken me a mere two years for me to traverse to Water Street without trepidation. With my newfound aggressive East Coast driving, I now welcome the chance to frequent the revitalizing Canal District. These trips bring me to Olé Taqueria, recently opened on Water Street. Olé’s dark windows and signage make it difficult to spot and when I visited, construction trucks and sidewalk closures blocked the front doors. I was a block past when I noticed the awning’s golden

yellow “Olé” within a cerulean blue oval logo – the same blue that is painted floorto-ceiling on the interior walls. The restaurant is spacious and cold, but it was a chilly evening and we were the only two in the place, along with our kids. The vast space could withstand a few more tables and chairs, but since it is primarily a take-out establishment, they may go underutilized. One of Olé’s friendly owners greeted us warmly – just one of the many advantages to returning – with her conversational, Sam Malone-esque bartender qualities. I love that about a locally owned restaurant. Everything on the menu is a la carte and shockingly inexpensive. The solution to our family’s limitless indecision was to order one of almost everything. After we ordered at the counter and took two sodas from the cooler, our basket of chips and salsa ($1!) was brought to our table. Minutes later, our order arrived and our table was covered by tissue-lined baskets of food, napkins and hot sauce bottles. The street taco ($2.55) is my favorite. With a delicious, simple combination of tender chicken, cheese, and white onions – all enveloped in soft, doubled-up warm

corn tortillas (true to its street-food style name) – it has a hint of sweetness from the slight addition of honey. I will order more next time, as well as more fish tacos. Also served street-style, lightly-seasoned – not breaded or fried – haddock, shredded cabbage, and a punch of flavor from a creamy cilantro-lime sauce make up this perfect solution to a fish taco craving ($2.55). The beef soft (or hard) taco with a generous amount of beef, iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese is unassuming yet satisfying, especially for $1.50. We should have ordered more chicken taquitos ($2.75) for the children as they fought over the three crunchy taquitos (from a choice of chicken, black beans, or beef), served with a generous dollop of chunky guacamole with diced tomatoes and sour cream. We slowed down when it was time for the Taxico chimichanga ($4.75) and Olé burrito ($6.50). The Taxico is a huge portion of beef (or chicken), cheese and rice wrapped in a lightly fried tortilla, then doused with queso sauce. The Olé burrito – think jumbo Mission-style burrito,

minus the tin foil – is a large flour tortilla stuffed with beef (or chicken), beans, rice and tomatoes, and is topped with red sauce instead of queso. With guacamole and sour cream on the side of both, these gut-busters are each full of goodness. All of this food, with drinks, was only $28. Olé is exactly where people should eat if they have a houseful of ravenous teenagers, or are in need of an office escape for a quick and cheap weekday lunch (Wednesdays through Fridays), or especially after a night of drinking on weekends. To capitalize on the surrounding bars in the area, Olé is open until 2:30 a.m., Thursdays through Sundays. They are vacillating on eventually becoming a BYOB establishment, but if they want to maintain their post last-call hours, obtaining that BYOB license may result in more of a headache than the license is worth. Diners should rehydrate at Olé and take advantage of what they do well – delicious, unpretentious and satisfying Mexican food served in a friendly atmosphere.

uring the 1960s, The Mamas & the Papas sang about “California Dreamin’,� while the Beach Boys harmonized about the sunshine and how the girls get so tan. Well since I can’t sing, I had to find another reason to love California. How about its wines? From Napa Valley to Sonoma some of the world’s great wines are produced. If you like big full-bodied wines then consider a Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. The king of wines is always in plentiful supply here. If you prefer a plush fruit driven Chardonnay then Sonoma is a perfect choice. Because of its diverse climate California is unique in its ability to grow a wide variety of grapes. Varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot just to name a few. There are of course many smaller wine producing regions where world class wines are also produced. California offers something for everyone. If you’re new to wine and are looking for both consistent quality and value then you would be wise to start with the wines of Napa and or Sonoma County. The down side is the vast array of wine producers. It may take some time to acquaint yourself with many of them. Like anything else prices will vary. Some of Napa’s iconic wines command hefty prices but good solid wines at reasonable prices are widely available as well. The same can be said of the Sonoma region. The bottom line is you must learn through trial and sometimes error. Expect to pay from $15 to $35 dollars for many of the wines from California. When visiting your favorite wine shop ask the clerk for his or her recommendations. Many wine merchants host wine tastings so you can sample before you buy. So stop dreaming and start shopping.

B ES T O F WORC BEST OF PARTY MAY 7, 2012 Our 2012 Best of Worcester party at the Worcester Airport was a high-flying success this past Monday! If you missed it (shame on you!), imagine a Mardi Gras party – complete with revelers, music, food and drink – that had just exited a flight from New Orleans. With award winners, local businesses, staff members from all of the Holden Landmark Corp. and a list of who’s-who of Worcester notables, Worcester Mag had the passenger area of the airport filled to capacity. As for Massport and the Worcester Airport and their generosity – we can’t thank them enough. It was exciting for our staff to see both our readers and local businesses and politicians discussing the vast possibilities of the Worcester Airport, and its modern, clean and well-designed facilities. We can bet for some it was their first – but hopefully not their last – visit to this aeronautical hotspot. Our musical guest Cara Brindisi blew the crowd away with her voice and charm, and she kept the bustling crowd entertained before and after the big award ceremony. Consolidated Beverages kept the liquid flowing throughout the night and Worcester Airport Limo delivered our guest right to the front door. Food was provided by Crown Bakery (yummy mint and chocolate whoopie pies!), Le Mirage (chicken & noodle salad was a hit), East Park Grille (homemade pizza!), Perfect Game (more hand-cut chips please!), Pepper’s Catering (thanks for the setup, guys!) and Sweet (cupcakes! Need I say more?). No leftovers were in sight by the time the flight crews left for our after party at Loft 266. Speaking of the after party, Loft 266 was gracious enough to host our crew and friends late into the evening. We were surprised at the number of partiers who were already at the bar waiting for us to arrive – and we had a fun and relaxed end to a very busy month! As you can see from the photos on these pages, a great time was had by all. Thanks to everyone who voted, and for the businesses and organizations who came out to help us celebrate. See you next year!

You mentioned you’ve been to Worcester before. You used to come golfing here when you were in Boston, and you said it looks a lot different now. Well, that was

about 20 years ago. So it’s developed quite a bit. I was on a few of the golf courses out here. We used to come here a lot with Roger Clemens, [Tim] Wakefield and [Bill] Haselman and have a lot of fun.

How long have you been in town? Got in

last night. Saw a couple of clubs here, and I loved it. Went to bed.

You were just at Fenway for the 100th anniversary. That was a big deal. Were you surprised to be invited back?

Extremely surprised. The first time any Major League Team actually wanted to affiliate with me, so I was surprised to be asked back for the 100th anniversary deal. It brought back a lot of memories. I looked at the fans, the ballpark, the atmosphere. They were playing the Yankees, so I had a great time. It was very emotional.

Did you get any conversations in with other players? I spoke to a lot of the

old timers, a lot of the ex-players, absolutely. I haven’t seen them for about 15, 20 years. It was pretty exciting. I felt young again doing that.

Since your era in MLB, the game has kind of changed; it’s downsized a little bit, fewer home runs. Can you still appreciate the game as it’s played now even though it’s not about power? Can you appreciate Jacoby Ellsbury as much

as Barry Bonds or Mark McGwire? The game is completely different. Obviously the power surge has gone down 30 percent; the salary structure has gone through the roof, obviously. I don’t think the game has as many entertainers as it used to have when I was around but it’s still the best game in the world, definitely.

Can you talk about why you decided to play for the Tornadoes and the Can-Am League? There are a bunch of semi-pro teams all over the country. We spoke briefly when I came back from Mexico, and I decided to come here because I knew Boston. The team was gracious. We spoke and struck a deal quickly, and I’m real happy I’m here.

Any predictions on your stat line this year? Well, if I’m healthy I can tell you one thing: I will definitely be hitting home runs, no ifs or buts about it. But I’ve got to be healthy.

Do you think you’ll be open to another year after this one? We’re going to take it one year at a time and see what happens. Next year I’m going to be 48, so depending on how well I do this year physically, and if I’m completely healthy during the year, we’ll see what happens next year.

Will you be doing any anti-drug, community work? If that’s part of the curriculum here, maybe we’ll get involved in that.
