t’s always a bit of a thrill for reporters when they get to debunk conventional wisdom, and after our photographer Steven King attended a Clark sponsored lecture at the State House on the theme of online sexual predators, online solicitation and sexting, we got our chance. It wasn’t your average seminar on societal ills, and it avoided ringing alarm bells or whipping parents into a frenzy. In fact, it was almost reassuring. We thought we’d highlight the numbers found by these University of New Hampshire researchers and compare them as best as we could with numbers in Worcester to see if the local trends matched the national. In some cases they did, in some they didn’t, but they still sent a strong message: now is no time to panic.

A report to the city council details the number of licensed liveries versus licensed taxi cabs driving the streets, which means the taxi-livery stand-off is about to rear its head again. Buckle your seatbelts and hope it’s not as contentious as it was two years ago.

A “suboxone clinic,” which Och says is a misnomer anyway, wouldn’t have any of the pills on site, just counseling and prescription writing. “When they come in you write them a prescription and you send them on their way,” he says. Och also says he’s still unsure what he plans to do with the 52 Ward Street building. “Part of my practice might expand into that building,” he says, stressing “might.” Otherwise, he’d really like to sell it. “Plan A is if we get a buyer.” Och adds that he’s submitted nothing to the city in terms of zoning purposes yet.

{ citydesk } The return of Front Street Kevin Koczwara

ot too long ago, the mall in downtown Worcester had stores in it; it wasn’t a pile of rubble. However, it wasn’t exactly a bustling shopping mecca either, with only a few stores and fewer shoppers. Nobody knew what to do with it or how to attract more business. Name changes didn’t work. Themes didn’t work. Just as ideas seemed to be exhausted, former city planner Dan Benoit stepped up with a new one—a controversial one. What did he want to do? Benoit wanted to tear down the mall, or parts of it, and put a street back in that had been covered. Benoit wanted to reconnect Worcester’s downtown. He wanted the broken connection from Union Station and Washington Square to City Hall back. He wanted Front Street to return. On Thursday, May 24, Lt. Gov. Tim Murray and CitySquare developers will celebrate the beginning of the reinstatement of that connection, 13 years after Benoit published his idea. Murray
has been one of the biggest supporters of this plan since he was running for mayor in Worcester in the early 2000s. (Murray was eelected in 2001.) He is featured on the August 28, 2003, cover of Worcester Mag and the headline reads “Take that mall, once and for all.” Murray wanted the mall gone. He wanted to follow up on what Benoit started years before. “When I became mayor, there continued to be this frustration with the mall and a lack of creative thinking from the ownership at the time and others,” says Murray. “We dug in at the mayor’s office, a young team with college interns and a staffer, and researched whether it was possible and whether other communities did it and whether there was an economic rational to pursue tearing it down and re-connecting the downtown.” Murray came out of those meetings with a proposal, an outline of his plan for the mall. The August 28, 2003, Worcester Mag feature story explains that plan, the history of the mall and what it would mean for the city going forward. “I remember it being a surprise. It was kind of a revelation when Murray came

THE HEAT
out with that plan,” says Chris Kanaracus, a reporter for Worcester Mag at the time and one of the reporters who contributed to the feature story. Murray’s plan came from something Benoit saw while working on projects for the city to revitalize downtown. Benoit was part of the team that worked on the rehabilitation of Union Station; he was the project manager for the convention center expansion in downtown. While those projects, the Med City project and the re-branding of the mall were all going on in the mid-1990s, he noticed that a connection had been lost. While working on these projects, Benoit recalls they had coined the phrase “‘the golden triangle’ because you had three projects that were triangular from each other right at the intersection of Worcester Center Boulevard and Foster Street,” he says. “And everybody was saying that we had to do this intersection right because it’s an important triangle.” Benoit noticed that the triangle that everyone was focusing on wasn’t the real “golden triangle,” however. He says the continued on page 7

here Tainter Street once connected a south Worcester neighborhood, a proposed plan for a paved pathway to reconnect the community and provide safety and environmental remediation to the former Brownfield site is underway. The proposed bicycle and pedestrian path is part of the Gardner, Kilby, Hammond Neighborhood Revitalization Project, which received $2.6 million of federal aid by way of two earmarks in 2005. The earmarks have helped fund construction of the Main South Boys & Girls Clubhouse and new affordable housing units; $1.4 million of the earmarks will cover the cost of 80 percent of the estimated $1.8 million path project—the remaining funds coming from MassDOT. Proposed plans include two retaining walls – one on either side of the path – one juxtaposed to private properties, the other to future athletic fields. The path will be 14 feet wide, 670 feet in length
(roughly one-eighth of a mile) and lighted. Clark has an interest in expediting construction of the path as their plans The City of Worcester will be responsible for construction and will own the property for new athletic fields, adjacent to the path, cannot begin until the project is once complete. complete. The fields will offer new turf to Ron Hadorn, executive director for both Clark University and Boys & Girls the Boys & Girls Club of Worcester says Club students, as stated in a Memorandum “the main purpose is to reconnect the of Understanding.

The bike path and athletic fields, he says “will make that neighborhood more attractive and more livable,� adding hopes that it will attract new business. “The success of this project is contagious... it benefits the entire city.� Project design is currently 25 percent complete and forecasted to be finished by the end of this year. Construction is said by project leaders to be finished by the end of 2013.

residential purposes. Also, he’d have to call his building a “professional office” because “clinics” aren’t allowed in that neighborhood. Going before the ZBA would also trigger a public hearing and the notification of neighbors. That doesn’t exactly quell neighborhood concerns. “Not really,” says Poirier when asked if he feels better now that he knows the details of Och’s plan for 52 Ward Street. “I’ll have to do a little more research.” It’s also a little glimpse into the difficulty doctors still have in broadcasting the differences between methadone and suboxone treatments. Suboxone binds to a person’s nerve receptors that are stimulated by heroin and other opiates for a longer period of time than methadone, meaning some addicts can avoid the drug or withdrawal symptoms for a week or longer with one pill – a major benefit for some who want to get off daily doses of methadone. The state has started to look into integrating FRONT STREET continued from page 5
more important triangle in the city was the one connecting Union Station to City Hall and Lincoln Center. “Those were the three points in my mind that were the golden triangle of downtown. But there was one leg missing of that golden triangle and that was the Front Street leg,” explains Beniot. “A lot of people said to me when I proposed tearing down the mall, ‘what’s the big deal it’s just a little quarter-mile of road?’ But in my mind it was a psychological burden on the city. From the time the mall was built there had been so many failed attempts at revitalizing downtown that I think the psyche of the city had been worn down. And I really felt like opening up that street was a symbol of reconnecting the city.” Benoit has lived in Worcester since he

Och looks at it similarly, touting that his current office – and his new one on Ward Street if that should open – are treatment clinics first featuring counseling and prescription writing, but not prescription filling.

was 16 years old. Before that, he travelled to the city from Holden with his mother to go shopping. He vaguely remembers a time when the mall wasn’t there. But he remembers the connection. He no longer works for the city, but he still works and lives in Worcester and he still wants this to succeed. He wants the city to thrive. He wants the space that for so long haunted the city to finally be exorcised. As for Murray, he drives by the progress twice a day on his way to and from Boston, and he smiles at what has changed since he was mayor. But this is still just the beginning. There is a long way yet to go before the CitySquare project can be deemed a success. For now, though, Benoit and Murray can both know that they had a hand in change.

notable trends emerged at Tuesday night’s tax classification hearing that set the Fiscal Year 2012 tax rate at $16.98 per $1,000 valuation for residential property owners and $29.08 for commercial/industrial property owners: 1) for the second year in a row the City Council voted to narrow the gap between the dual tax rates and 2) a number of them, Joe O’Brien and Sarai Rivera especially, argued that making promises about how to vote during campaign season comes back to bite them at tax classification time. Not one of the proposed tax rates on Tuesday came anywhere close to what the lowest residential rate could have been.
Jeremy Shulkin
MARCHING TOWARD A SINGLE RATE? It was mentioned a number of times by citizen speakers and individual councilors last night that this vote gave “an opportunity here to march toward that single tax rate,” as City Councilor Rick Rushton described it. It’s been no secret that current years of councilors have decried the vote taken in 1984 to split the tax rate, offering different numbers for residential owners and commercial/industrial property owners, but Tuesday night seemed to be the first time councilors explicitly said the eventual goal was to move the city back to a single rate. “The call for that to happen immediately isn’t realistic,” Rushton added, with City Councilor Mike Germain proposing that the city look at a 10-year plan.
JUST GET A KINDLE, I GUESS: For all the talk of the services that the Worcester Public Library performs for Worcester residents, when it comes to budget time more city councilors chose to comb over the library’s $4.36 million fiscal year 2013 budget allocation more critically than the city’s largest tax levy users like the Department of Public Works & Parks and the Worcester Police Department ($42.1 million allocated). At a hearing Tuesday night before the council meeting, a few councilors gave the library’s budget the fine-tooth-comb treatment, even targeting new employee salaries as examples of spending that could come down. Later on in the evening, the Worcester Police Department faced far less question of its spending as councilors actually sought ways to add money for Summer Impact programs and gave the police opportunity to talk about the recent success of fundraisers, youth outreach programs and to reiterate that the city is safe for residents not involved in the drug trade or gang activity. (The DPW&P had a similar opportunity to gripe about issues the week before.) When it was pointed out to City Councilor Konnie Lukes, who tried to pry more information out of the WPD budget to no avail, that the library took more heat than any other department so far, she replied, “Ah, you noticed.” MEET YOU ON THE PLAYGROUND AFTER SCHOOL: In response to Worcester School Committee members and a Change.org petition posted by CCPAC, which has acquired more than 350 signatures, called for City Manager Michael O’Brien and the city council to fund the Worcester Public Schools at 3 percent over the required minimum set by the state, City Councilor Bill Eddy put in a request on Tuesday asking for a summary of what city services would be cut if that additional 3 percent – roughly $9.3 million – were taken from other areas for the schools. That report will coincide with the Worcester Public Schools and school committee’s visit to the council chambers next Tuesday to talk over their budget allocation. “If people want to have a discussion, let’s have a discussion fully armed with the information,” Eddy said. SUCCINCT POLITICAL ROUND UP: As April and May have kicked off with
fundraisers for Democratic candidates for the 15th District State Representative seat Dianna Biancheria and Mary Keefe, City Councilor Kate Toomey, also a candidate, actually had some face-time with Speaker of the House Robert DeLeo. “It could’ve been a combination,” she said when asked if she met him on city or campaign business. “It was a very nice chat. He’s very supportive of Worcester.” DeLeo’s office did not return a phone call seeking comment…Congressman Jim McGovern (D-Worcester) had tough week, first as the subject of a lengthy Telegram & Gazette report that showed he and his staffers have gone on roughly two dozen foreign trips since 2000, many funded by human-rights advocacy groups and think-tanks. Unrelated, Worcester News Tonight showed footage of a feisty hearing on Capitol Hill as Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) accused McGovern of “behavior that I wonder if people have been out drinking tonight” after the local congressman forced procedural votes when an amendment of his asking to withdraw troops from Afghanistan failed to be included. As for the validity of Session’s remark, it came seven hours into an eight-hour meeting, so it would be quite a feat if someone could stay drunk for that amount of time and still be a functional being when it started. Related, Session’s own reputation for having inappropriate comments fall out of his mouth precedes him. Just google him.

ast week I umpired at the World Wide Wiffle Ball Classic organized by Steve “the Q” Quist and sponsored by WCRN 830-AM. Three teams representing the radio station, the Worcester Fire Department and the Worcester Tea Party played a few shortened pick-up games to raise money to help courageous kids in their fight against cancer. The game was played at the Ted Williams Little League field (part of the Beaver Brook Park complex) where Q has volunteered and coached for many years. The outfield fence was plastered with even more political signs than Q has strewn over his June Street yard during every local election season. But it’s all good stuff to those of us who love this city. I have no idea how much money was raised that morning. But looking at how stuffed the Double Bubble bucket was with checks and cash donated by players and supporters, I think our efforts were quite successful. In any case, I couldn’t help thinking about the violence and brutality that had happened in that neighborhood on nearby Lovell Street. Here we were hitting a plastic ball to help save kids’ lives, while only days earlier at midnight, some deranged and evil person had hoped to take the life of a 3-monthold infant by putting him (in his car seat) right in the middle of one-way Lovell Street, which is used by motorists as a speedway from May to Chandler St. Thankfully a driver stopped before his car could strike and kill the baby. Once police arrived, it didn’t take them long to discover a grisly and gruesome crime scene inside the first-floor apartment of a nearby foreclosed upon three-decker. A man had been murdered and two women (one his wife, and
the other, the baby’s 18 year-old mother) had been bound and brutalized. Of course drugs and related paraphernalia were found on the premises. And hours later, in a Newton Avenue apartment about a mile away, the calm and serenity of Worcester’s west side were shattered once again with the murder of another man. Once again, drugs and related paraphernalia were found on the premises. These incidents are two more blows to our efforts to retain and attract more middle- and upper-income families to our city. The American war on drugs characterized by its “Just Say No” slogan has been ineffective and deadly. Just ask the WPD. So what’s to become of the innocent three-month old infant from Lovell Street who is now in state custody? He’s already known more craziness and trauma than many of us experience in a lifetime. While in the Old Testament, Baby Moses had been left by his mother in a safe place where she hoped he’d be found, cared for and have a better future, Worcester’s Baby X was ripped away from the protection of his teen mom and purposely placed in the street so he’d be killed. God willing, Baby X’s mother will survive the barbaric assault and regain custody of her infant son. Then she needs to break away from those friends, relatives or business associates who are involved in drugs and activities that put her and her baby’s life at risk. She should take him as far away as she can from city life — away from those people who think that his life is as worthless as theirs. He’ll be in the thoughts, prayers and keeping of the decent and caring people of our city until his mother once again can hold him and perhaps sing, “So hush little baby, don’t you cry, Worcester loves you and so do I.”

Panic! Don’t panic! DESPITE PERCEPTION, ARE TODAY’S TEENS THE SAFEST THEY’VE BEEN IN A GENERATION? Jeremy Shulkin
With a name like the Crimes Against Children Research Center, you’d almost expect nothing but a stream of bad news to come out of the University of New Hampshire affiliated group of family and youth victimization experts and researchers. After all, this is the age of sexualized prime-time TV shows and commercials, easily scored medication for depression and attention deficit disorders, and cyber bullying. And “sexting,” gee whiz, what about all that sexting that’s going on?
So there was some surprise when attendees at the 2012 Massachusetts Family Impact Seminar talk titled “Youth at Risk” (part one) sponsored by Clark University’s Mosakowski Institute for Public Enterprise heard two of the Crimes Against Children Research Center’s experts say almost the opposite. “The nature of what kids do on the internet over the last decade has changed,” says senior researcher Janis Wolak, who presented the statistics from the U.S. Department of Justice and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention showing stereotypes versus reality of online predators, youthproduced sexual images (sexting) and the vulnerability and naïveté of young Internet uses. In an interview after her presentation, Wolak argued that rather it is the media coverage that has driven publicity to specific cases or incidents, which then taps into “people’s fear of the Internet.” “The reality about Internet-initiated sex crimes – those in which sex offenders meet juvenile victims online – is different, complex and serious, but less archetypically frightening than the publicity around these crimes suggest,” she wrote in the seminar’s briefing report. More importantly, she says, the numbers back the charge. Bluntly, 25 percent of sex crimes committed against minors and reported to police involve 10 W O R C E S T E R M A G . C O M • M AY 2 4 , 2 0 1 2
statutory rape, while online relationships led to only 7 percent of those arrests in 2000. In 2006, online predators accounted for only 1 percent of all arrests for sex crimes committed against those younger than 17 years old. Lisa Jones, also of the Crimes Against Children Research Center, provided information that showed national youth victimization trends, including decades of decreasing maltreatment, decreasing haterelated speech at school, serious suicidal thoughts, teen birth rate and drug use. “Although youth well-being is of primary concern, the worrisome stories about crimes against children that regularly fill the media have unfortunately obscured some more positive news from statistical reports on these same issues,” the briefing book reads.
DAMNED LIES AND STATISTICS While it’s true that numbers can be played by any savvy data collector, the statistics provided at the 2012 Massachusetts Family Impact Seminar could eventually shape the way state legislators think about laws regarding youth and teen safety and education. “Our goal is really to serve the legislature,” says Clark University professor and Mosakowski Institute director James Gomes. “What we try to do is bring them some of the latest research.” In 2009, Clark University was chosen to represent all Massachusetts’ highereducation institutions to host the National Policy Institute for Family Impact Seminars, a program from the University of Wisconsin–Madison that has tendrils in nearly 25 states. This year the Mosakowski Institute and area politicians agreed on youth risk as this year’s and next year’s topic, with Wolak, Jones and Clark professor Ramon Borges-Mendez presenting information on sexual predators, child abuse and neglect and youth unemployment. Three new topics involving youth will be chosen for next year’s presentation. The information is presented to them
without partisan slant, and the presenters don’t advocate (though they do reference bills already filed that would impact their topics). In Wolak’s and Jones’ case, the findings bucked conventional wisdom. “I think [the legislators’ reactions were] similar to what yours [was] and mine was,” Gomes says. “’Oh, that’s interesting. That’s not what I was thinking.’” But the news perspective – in which Jones showed headlines like “Mean Girls? Fla. Teens Charged with Cyberbullying for Posting Fake Nude Facebook Pix of Classmate,” “As child porn activity grows, efforts to trap offenders do too” and “Freeport parents react to widespread ‘sexting’ allegations” – is worth countering. As she wrote in her report titled “How are Youth Doing? Trends in Youth Victimization and Well-Being and Implications for Youth Policy,” Jones says, “Not much focus has gone into showcasing these achievements, which gives a lopsided picture of the reality and keeps us from learning more about what is behind positive trends, information that could help us further improve youth safety and well-being in an informed manner.” That’s what the Mosakowski Institute has in mind. “We hope that the long-term effect of doing things like this is that the legislature, when it does legislate, does so with the best information possible,” Gomes says.
FIRST, THE GOOD NEWS Among the three presenters, Jones gave a fairly optimistic look into youth safety. According to the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (with trends corroborated through other child maltreatment data sources), youth younger than 18 years old faced situations of physical abuse at a 56 percent decline between 1990 and 2010 while sexual abuse has dropped 62 percent in
the same time period. Students who reported being victims of larceny, simple assault, robbery, aggravated assault and sexul assault all fell between 52 and 69 percent between 1993 and 2005, and those incidents dropped 60 percent between 1995 and 2007 while 12 to 18 year olds were at school. Middle-and high-school aged youth, between 1999 and 2007, also reported a 60 percent decrease in being targets of hate-related words at school. High school students seriously thinking about attempting suicide dropped from just less than 30 percent in 1991 to less than 15 percent in 2009; and after ticking up in the mid to late 1990s, the amount of high school students admitting to lifetime prevalence drug use has fallen back down (but still remains around 50 percent). So what’s helped? Jones says that better mental-health care and trauma treatment, improved violence and maltreatment prevention and increased incarceration of offenders have all played their parts. “There are a number of likely reasons for the improvements in youth safety and well-being. One possible contributing factor could be the economic prosperity in the U.S. during the 1990s,” she wrote. “Over those ten years there was considerable job growth, hourly wages rose and social and occupational improvements occurred.” Increases in police numbers in the 19902 and increases in child advocacy centers have helped as well. While harassment of youth has declined, this is only so among the male population. In 2010, females complaining of harassment made up 48 percent of the reports (in 9 percent of cases the gender was unknown), up from 20 percent in 2000. But this brings us to the digital world of harassment, solicitation and preying. Jones found that despite the frenzy around sexting, only 1.3 percent of youth reported creating a sexually explicit image. “The potential to get into legal trouble from sending such messages may have been impressed on all Internet participants,” she writes. There are still issues online, however. Demeaning and rumor spreading online has steadily increased since 2000, with girls making up 69 percent of the victims. Though Jones says victims have learned
{ coverstory } harassment is still fairly low, and many of these were onetime incidents that were not 25% 24.1% particularly bothersome to the 22.9% targeted youth.â€? “Those working closely with youth, and particularly 19.9% victimized youth, feel worried 20% that good news could lead to 17.6% reductions in policy attention and funding,â€? she wrote when musing why this news was underreported. “Highlighting 15% the successes allows policy makers to move forward with more confidence on these issues, knowing that their efforts and attention have had 10% positive effects.â€? Jones’ findings jibe with Wolak’s work on online predators. “Now [the Internet is] much 5% more a medium for people and kids to communicate with people they know,â€? she says, supporting Jones’ theory that youth who go online 0 R N R RE E nowadays interact with people O O I O I N N HM OM SE they know through social JU ES H R P F networks, rather than entering SO into chat room free-for-alls. “The Internet is much Worcester-Area Youth Bullied electronically in 2011 more organized in a way,â€?

increasing rates of youth Internet use, a migration of crime from offline to online venues, and the growth of law enforcement activity against online crimes.� Also, Wolak stresses that alreadyregistered sexual offenders make up very few of those arrested for online solicitation of youth – about 4 percent – which means Internet safety precautions have to be broadened rather than just narrowly looking at people with prior records.

“What they found is people they are arresting are people without history of sexual offenses,” she says. And so, she adds, law enforcement agencies have been able to capture more online solicitors and sexual predators through cracking down on childpornography production and sharing. It’s worth noting that this exists more often in the real world, rather than the virtual, as she points to statistics that show, in 2000, 80 percent of those arrested for online predation met their victim via chat, versus 40 percent in 2006. Social networks registered for 0 percent in 2000 and were at 33 percent in 2006. Face-toface meetings, however, remained steady with 76 percent in 2000 and 73 percent in 2006.
AS GO THE NATIONAL TRENDS, SO GOES WORCESTER? So it’s all good news right? On a more local level, law enforcement agencies aren’t seeing it.
“We’ve seen an increase in workload,” says Mass. State Police Sgt. Michael Hill, who works with the Massachusetts Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. “I’m not seeing a dramatic drop in any type of case.” As for the dip in numbers, he has

further questions. “Is it being reported? Is it not being reported? Is it being investigated? Is it not being investigated?” Worcester Police Department spokesman Sgt. Kerry Hazelhurst says that while the department wouldn’t be able to provide numbers before press time, he did indicate that there were not many incidents in these categories, in terms of sexual predators using online communication to

attract youth. “We are not seeing that this is an area that we experience often.” As for other youth issues, Robert Pezzella, the Worcester Public School’s school-safety liaison, has seen an uptick in both bullying reporting and instances of bullying. “I can just tell you that the number of reports we’re getting in the last two years is going upward,” he says when discussing cyberbullying. “That’s been our biggest challenge – how are we addressing the bullying?” But as for bullying and harassment in general, he says those numbers are holding steady. Between the past two school years, this year is projected to have slightly less reported bullying incidents. Between just January and June 2011, Worcester Public Schools totaled 92 school reports filed for instances of bullying versus 73 between September 2011 to May 17, 2012 – almost double the length of time. [see charts on previous page] However, the 2011 Youth Survey provided to all Worcester high schools, three local Catholic schools, Blackstone Valley Tech High School and the Auburn, West Boylston, Webster and BerlinBoylston high schools showed 2011 bullying trends mixed when compared to the 2009 state and national averages. (The state’s 2011 numbers will be released in June.) [see chart on this page] Among those regional numbers, 16 percent of freshmen said they’d been victimized online, as did 17 percent of sophomores and juniors as well as 16 percent of seniors. A 2009 Health and Risk Behaviors survey of 8,500 Massachusetts secondary students among 121 schools also revealed a number of positive trends. For one, 71 percent of students felt they had a teacher at their school who they could talk to about a problem, up from 64 percent in 2003; and even more importantly, 83 percent felt the same way about a parent or adult family member, up from 78 percent six years prior. “Results presented here show continued

improvements in many important areas including tobacco use, alcohol and drug use, violent behavior and suicidality,” reads the introduction of the 2007 version of the report, which the 2009 data mostly improves on. “These improvements attest to the success of efforts by schools, community programs, healthcare workers, and families to foster the healthy development of young people in Massachusetts.” For instance, in 2009, 71 of state highschool students admit to drinking alcohol, down from 75 percent in 2003. Marijuana use had a similar small drop, from 47 percent saying they’ve done it down to 43 percent. Other drugs, notably cocaine, ecstasy, methamphetamines, heroin and steroids all saw 1 to 3 percent decreases between 2003 and 2009, and levels for each drug’s use in 2009 fell below 6 percent.

have dropped statewide as well. The number of students who were involved in a fight, carried a weapon or identified as a gang member showed small decreases, though sexual contact against will rose slightly between 2003 and 2009. In Worcester, gang and youth violence continues to be the largest issue. To combat this, Worcester has begun tracking teens who are ID’d when involved in gang and youth violence with help from a $700,000 grant to the Worcester Public Schools, Worcester Police Department, Boys & Girls Club and Worcester Youth Center (among others). The grant also provides for case management to help turn their lives around, Pezzella says, through youth employment, substance-abuse treatment and keeping them on track to receive a diploma. Currently, there are 35 names on the list, which includes those up to the age of 21, and those who are 14 to 18 years

old. “It’s really roll-up your 250 sleeves and get in their face, 238 as well as carrot and stick approach,” he explains. The number-one offense at Worcester Public Schools, Pezzella says, however, 200 isn’t violence or drugs but “disruption of school 174 assembly,” which essentially means “the student has caused a level of unruliness or disruption” that normal 150 classroom management and de-escalation can’t contain. This offense has dropped sharply. In 2007, 66 current Worcester Public School students were tagged with 100 disruption of school assembly 82 compared to 15 in 2011. So far, in 2012, there is only one. [see “Disruptions” chart, this page] Felony arrests of Worcester Public School 50 students have also dropped from 82 in 2009 to 72 so far in 2012.

have improved, and throughout the state, Pezzella says improved reporting, awareness and response has come with a new anti-bullying law that went into effect last year. Sgt. Hill of the Massachusetts State Police says they have programs where high school students talk to kindergarteners and elementary-school students about smart Internet use. It also means more PR. “Prevention should be targeted to the general audience of adolescence,” Wolak writes, meaning youth should be told to assume that any “sext” will appear on the Internet and the psychology behind older people looking to have relationships with teens. It also shows that parents need not fear the Internet – particularly since youth solicited online are more likely to report it to authorities – but talk to their kids about it. The point? Don’t freak out; it’s just one more lesson to pass on to your kids.

Fire & Iron Motorcycle Club honors their own Open Doors campaign this Memorial Day Taylor Nunez
Memorial Day is a time where we can remember and honor those who are no longer with us. Originally, the federal holiday was a day to remind Americans of those who bravely served our nation. Beyond military service, there are many other forms of honorable labor
that serve communities – such as firefighting. The Winchendon based Fire & Iron Firefighter’s Motorcycle Club consists of firefighters and those involved with fire service, will honor their fallen men this Memorial Day as they hang firefighter gravestone flags in cemeteries of Northbridge. Fire & Iron Firefighter’s MC, a club with more than 125 chapters known as “stations,” came about when several members of an Orange County fire rescue found themselves wanting to be a part of a club but found themselves
displeased with ones already existing due to too many rules or being brand specific. The first club included firefighters from different departments, totaling about 20 members. All dues of $25 a month went to charity, and in January of 2000, the first charity ride event occurred for the Annie Russel Home. Mike Moss, former president of the Fire & Iron Chapter 1 in Orange County, Fla., currently sits as Fire & Iron’s national president. Back home, Steven George sits
as the Fire & Iron Blackstone Valley Station president. George, who grew up in Northbridge, was a member of the Northbridge Fire Department for 20 years and grew close to many of those who served the community with him. “People say that firefighters form a brotherhood. I feel that is due to the situations, good and bad, that we may be faced with at a moment’s notice. You may be asked to help a fellow firefighter or even may need help yourself in an emergency situation in the blink of an eye,” George explains. After being a member of this group for two decades, once leaving the Northbridge Fire Department, George continued on page 16

Worcester Art Museum offers an impressive collection of art from around the world and spanning thousands of years, and strives to provide access to its inspirational galleries throughout the community – and beyond. But when new visitors have stepped up to the visually striking Salisbury Street brass-front entrance in recent years, they’ve discovered it locked tight. Newly appointed museum STEVEN KING director Matthias Waschek hopes to change this. With the announcement of an aggressive fundraising campaign this month, Worcester Art Museum hopes to re-open the famed Salisbury doors, which are original to the 1933 construction. Locked as a way to shave expenses, all museum traffic was then rerouted through the contemporary Lancaster Street entrance, created in May 1970 when the Higgins Education Wing addition was opened. The Lancaster Street entrance – although perfectly fine in design and function – loses the intense reaction formerly achieved when visitors could walk through the impressive front entrance and find themselves within the stunning marble-lined Renaissance Court. The museum, which initially reached out to its members and received what museum staff considered an overwhelming response, is now hoping that the public will lend their support to reach the goal of raising $60,000. “$60,000 will cover the staff costs associated with having the Salisbury Street doors open full-time over a two-year period ($30,000 per year),” said Tracy L. Caforio,
deputy director and COO, Worcester Art Museum. “We are confident that with our increased focus on programming and fundraising, the doors will remain open for years to come.” “Opening the front doors of the museum, with the help of our members and community, jumpstarts our museum-wide philosophy of providing access—from our front doors, our website to our exhibitions and our public programming,” says Waschek. “The front doors are a traditional symbol of welcome—if the doors are closed, visitors will think we don’t want them here. We want the opposite.” Erika Sanger, director of education for Albany Institute of History & Art in New York recently donated to support the opening of the Salisbury Street doors. Sanger became a fan of Worcester Art Museum during her years at Clark University back in 1984, and she also attended art classes and volunteered at the museum as well. “I attribute my interest in the field of museum education and my strong belief in a museum’s role in the education of visual artists to those hours wandering the galleries of the Worcester Art Museum when the paint or the clay refused to respond to my student-level skills. The Renaissance Court was frequently dark in those days, and I often would stare at those imposing doors and wonder how having that glorious space open to the light and to the public would change the museum.” Sanger says she is delighted to see plans for the Renaissance Court to be enlivened, which is why she donated toward the Open Door cause. To date the museum has raised more than $14,000. Anyone interested in making a donation, can visit the museum’s website at worcesterartmuseum.org/Membership/ open or call 508-799-4406, ext. 3123. As for Waschek, he states, “The front doors are just the beginning, so keep watching—more changes are coming soon.” Learn more at worcesterartmuseum.org.

felt his life was lacking the brotherhood that he once was a prominent member of. When George and Jon Winslow (current vice president of the Blackstone Valley Station) were approached by a friend about Fire & Iron, George knew it would fill the void he had been experiencing. As Memorial Day drew closer, it was Winslow who suggested to George the idea of hanging firefighter gravestone flags. Winslow began the firefighter gravestone flag project about 16 years ago when Winslow was on the Northbridge Fire Department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted a way to show respect to past firefighters who served the town of Northbridgeâ&#x20AC;Ś Until this year, this is something that myself and former firefighter Gary Reynolds had done by ourselves; but this year will be the first year that Fire & Iron has gotten involved this project,â&#x20AC;? informs Winslow. Fire & Iron will be putting up flags at the Pine Grove and Riverdale cemeteries while Jack Jackson, Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former Captain of Engine 2 on the Northbridge Fire Department, will hang flags for St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cemetery. Though many families in the community spend Memorial Day Monday with cookouts and outdoor activities, George
always takes time to visit the graves of family and friends who have passed and looks forward to hanging the flags for the past members of the firefighting brotherhood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remembering all of our firefighters who have passed is very important to me. I feel closeness to all firefighters, past and present.â&#x20AC;? Included in the connection with all firefighters, George recognized the enormous loss of Worcester firefighter Jon Davies this past December as well as the late 1999 tragedy of losing six Worcester firefighters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All firefighters have that bond. Even though we did not know Jon Davies personally, we all felt this terrible loss. I think that we all think that it could have been any of us or our fellow firefighters at any point,â&#x20AC;? George states. After Daviesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; passing, Fire & Iron members from all over the Northeast attended his service. Fire & Iron will continue doing charity work through organized rides and will be holding one on August 19 to benefit the Pancreatic Cancer Foundation as well as the Richard Lavallee House at Alternatives Unlimited in Whitinsville.

A terminal case of sequelitis

Men In Black 3 Grade: C David Wildman
H
ere is my sad prognosis: the patient, known as the “Men In Black” franchise is suffering from a terminal case of sequelitis. This is the name for the cancer-like rot that sets in when a film based on a singular idea is stretched too far over a series of subsequent incarnations, becoming weaker with each new offering until a phenomenon occurs wherein the disease reaches back to degrade its own roots. The classic example of this is “Jaws,” in which the first film built all its tension by holding back from revealing the marauding sea creature until late in the proceedings. Once this was done, there was no unringing of the bell, and the interminable sequels declined exponentially in shock value to the point where audiences were sick of shark-oriented entertainment. In diagnosing the “Men In Black” franchise it would be instructive to look at a few other examples of this disease. The intensity of the rot is often in direct proportion to the weakness of the original concept. “Rocky” was another series that developed sequelitis early on, since its single idea – a down and out boxer wins the big match – was wholly predictable from the beginning, and unduly pumped up with histrionics and melodrama, basically cinematic steroids. This gets ugly in old age. The malady can take its worst toll on Sci-Fi films, such as in “Star Wars” where it raised the unfortunate question: how many times can you blow up the Death Star? “The Matrix” also suffered from the disease, and has parallels to our patient. In the original film, the Big Idea was that everything was happening in a computer reality, however once that powerful secret was revealed, subsequent films had to rely on flimsy characters to carry the story. “Men In Black” began life in 1997 as a parody of such Sci-Fi franchises, and had a unique idea: aliens are not only real
MAD
but have been living with humanity for years, and are watched over by the titular secret government organization. Much of the pop and humor came from the reveal of various hideous aliens, and from the buddy cop repartee between arrogant-butloveable young hipster Agent Jay (Will Smith) and crusty old Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones), thrown together as unlikely partners fighting alien crime. The second film moved toward a deepening of the characters, with Jay having to help a retired K get his memory back, and of course a plot to destroy the world. It’s been ten years however, and the rot has taken hold. With this third installment the franchise is no longer parodying Sci-Fi memes as much as it is leaning on them. While the CGI visuals have grown formidable, “Men In Black 3” is no longer shocking in any way with its aliens as beleaguered immigrant subculture premise, so this becomes an afterthought. The focus turns to a new Big Idea, but this one’s as hackneyed as they come: the bad guy figures a way to go back in time and kill K. This is combined with some awkward forced attempts to portray Smith’s aging character as suddenly needy for a father figure. Things do get more freewheeling and the laughs less strained when the story shifts to 1969. Jay gets racially profiled by the police and Andy Warhol turns out to be a Men in Black agent. Josh Brolin as a young agent K is better than his material, and an alien character called Griffin (Mike Stuhlbarg, transcendent in 2009’s “A Serious Man”) who experiences a multitude of time streams gives the alltoo familiar story unexpected warmth. If not for this transfusion of new blood the patient would not have survived, but this was a lucky break and there is only so long such a fix will hold. Fifteen years is beyond the life expectancy for any film series. I’m recommending a well-deserved retirement before the damage gets worse.

A tiny little restaurant-tackedonto-a-house on Stafford Street, Sisters is easy miss while driving by - and it would be a shame if you did! There are only a handful of booths and a diner-bar inside, but it is clean and quite cozy, hosting a lot of regulars based on overheard conversations. The servers greeted us right away, and we picked a nearby booth, where we were promptly offered drinks. My coffee was done just right, and Katie was especially pleased with how thick and rich her hot chocolate was. Omelets appear to be the specialty, as the omelet menu is huge and full of all sorts of unusual and fantastic combinations, such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taco,â&#x20AC;? Loaded Baked Potato,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pizza,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Italian.â&#x20AC;?
I went for the daily special of bacon, spinach, feta and mushrooms. Katie got the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Steak Bomb,â&#x20AC;? which she personalized with spinach and feta. As we expected, we received generous, diner-sized servings that allowed for plenty of leftovers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially with the inclusion of home fries and toast. Their attention to omelets pays off in the quality. The eggs were just fluffy enough, and stuffed thick - but neat - with the fillings. The fillings were also cooked perfectly for each ingredient: bacon had a nice balance of crisp and chew, mushrooms were still tender but sautĂŠed just enough. The spinach stood out especially, as it tasted very fresh and was exceptionally tender, as though theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d wilted baby spinach just for the omelet, and the feta was in big chunks, like from a deli. Katie felt the same about how her onions and peppers were cooked, as well as the steak, which was tender and delicious. Even better than the scrumptious omelets were the home fries, though. Similar to French fries, these potatoes
a lot of great options, including burritos, sandwiches, and unique specialties - like a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breakfast Banana Splitâ&#x20AC;? - alongside perennial favorites of pancakes, French toast, and plates combining eggs, STEVEN KING meat, potatoes and bread. Lunch has a large variety of salads, burgers, sandwiches, entrĂŠes, and even quesadillas. For our big breakfast of two generous omelets, home fries, toast, coffee and hot chocolate, our total was $21.03, which is a bit higher than most diners, but still a great value for the amount and quality of the food and drink. Our server was also excellent: I never saw the bottom of my coffee mug, and she was quick in getting us our check and to-go containers when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d realized we were running late for an appointment. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made it to Sisters yet, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a great place were full, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even keep from to grab a delicious breakfast or lunch at a picking at the potatoes until we shut our good price, definitely make a stop in. You to-go containers to leave. wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be disappointed! While we stuck to the omelets, we were definitely tempted by the rest of the menu for both breakfast and lunch. There are were golden-brown cubes with crispy exteriors and fluffy interiors, but seasoned to taste like breakfast potatoes. While it was hard enough to stop eating when we

Two minutes with...
Barbara Erickson The Trustees of Reservations has been protecting and engaging communities in the natural environment for more than a century. Barbara Erickson becomes the first-ever female president of the organization this July. She’s a mother, humanitarian and lover of all things natural to our environment. Here, we spend two minutes learning about her aspirations for the organization. When did you first have an interest in the natural environment? As a child, I had
what felt like unlimited access to wideopen spaces, and I went on frequent hiking and camping trips with my family. Through these experiences, I fostered a love of travel, adventure and exploration. As a young adult, I also came to appreciate the critical role that conservation groups around this country – of which The Trustees of Reservations are one of the earliest and most respected – have played in protecting the parklands, natural landscapes and landmarks that we all enjoy today. After becoming a Boston resident in 2001, I fell in love with Massachusetts’ rich diversity of recreational, cultural and natural resources. Many of the places I frequented were The Trustees of Reservations’ properties, and that’s one of the things that ultimately drew me to this position.
You previously worked with Earthwatch Institute – protecting the environment – and Save the Children – protecting humanity. How do you see experience from both of these different efforts benefiting The Trustees of Reservations? Through both of these experiences, I’ve seen how important the connection is between people and place. Whether helping malnourished children who are victims of drought in East Africa or helping youth get active in volunteering to protect their neighborhood park, the method of creating positive change
was the same. At Earthwatch ... people would join our programs and yes, they would learn about and contribute to real scientific study of critical environmental issues. In the midst of this experience of giving back and caring for the natural world, they would also gain a sense of purpose, passion and connection — a realization that they are working together to make a difference in the lives of others and for our planet. At Save the Children ... it was reinforcing the idea that we need the general public to be the voice for children worldwide. It cannot be done through governments and private enterprise alone. We needed passionate ambassadors to carry the vision for us in every community. The Trustees of Reservations has always been and will continue to be about people and place — and how by connecting the two we can help to foster healthy, active and green communities.
While at Earthwatch, you were in charge of environmental volunteerism. Have you seen any changes in the amount or types of people volunteering to preserve our natural resources? I think that interest in the environment is cyclical. Fortunately we are in one of those times where it is relevant to be “green volunteers” and advocates in many aspects of our lives, but we can still do much more. At The Trustees of Reservations, we have seen a huge increase in volunteerism over the past decade, with nearly 1,500 volunteers donating almost 60,000
hours of their time to the organization to help us care for our properties and natural resources.
How can Worcester County residents volunteer or become involved with The Trustees of Reservations? The best way to find upcoming opportunities is on our website at thetrustees.org. In addition, we have regular Wednesday volunteer work parties at our beautiful Doyle Center and Community Park property in Leominster. Our volunteer crew meets every Wednesday morning from 9:30 a.m. to noon to work on weeding, mulching, pruning, planting and trail maintenance. We also offer workdays around the state. Contact: 978.840.4446 x1935 or email mscagnetti@ttor.org.
How is our natural environment relevant to our modern-day lives when our lives involve so much reliance on technology? In some ways, our natural environment is even more relevant to our daily lives because of technology – it gives us the mental and physical break we all need from the daily grind and the wired lives so many of us lead. It also provides an opportunity to rejuvenate our mind, body and soul. Americans are suffering from so-called “nature deficit disorder,” with a lack of physical activity and a growing disconnect with the natural world linked to many mental and physical-health problems. Exposure to nature and outdoor exercise — even as little as five minutes a day — has significant, proven health benefits: improved mental health, reduced stress, a more positive spirit, and improved critical-thinking skills.
If a $1 million donation was made to your organization, how would you put it to use? I would use it to engage more urban youth, especially in gateway cities throughout
Massachusetts. We know that nature is a fantastic classroom, and we need to bring youth into that environment. By capitalizing on opportunities to involve urban communities in our work, be it more community gardens, educational activities, youth volunteer programs, etc., The Trustees of Reservations needs to be a resource for the next generation.
What are two or three natural gems that Worcester County residents should get outside and explore this weekend?
Doyle Community Park and Center in Leominster, which has trails featuring woodlands, open fields, meadows, formal gardens and parklands, including Pierce Meadow, ten acres with huge specimen trees and open space for walking, and picnicking. The meadow is a link in the Monoosnoc Trail. Tully Lake, Royalston, which features camping, hiking, mountain-bike trails, canoeing and kayaking, waterfalls, fishing, geocaching, a horseshoe pit, volleyball net, and a disc-golf course. Visit thetrustees.org. Rock House Reservation, West Brookfield, which include rock outcroppings and hiking; more than three miles of trails featuring Carter Pond, the Rock House and Balance Rock; and a butterfly garden. — Brittany Durgin
