percent of workers on government-funded construction projects reside within the city, and an updated REO passed in 1994. But in 2003, UCANE sued Worcester over its residency requirement and won; and after UCANE’s latest victory over Fall River, City Manager Michael O’Brien suspended what was left of Worcester’s 1994 REO, essentially eliminating the enforcement of apprenticeship training and mandated health-insurance coverage for workers. All this history has Worcester treading carefully, with proponents like New England Regional Council of Carpenters business manager Jack Donanhue asking for a disparity study, which could show that cities with residency requirements have stronger local economies. According to Worcester Interfaith executive director Frank Kartheizer, presenting hard facts to a judge could help courts rule in favor of Worcester should this be reinstated. “The workforce working on a publicly funded construction job should look the like the city,” Kartheizer says. “We need to start looking at these publicly ﬁnanced construction projects not just as single-building projects.” At the meeting, he described ﬁnding ways to “turn economic development into community development.”

But Moore says REOs without residency requirements tend to have caveats covered by state laws for contractors. For instance, Worcester’s current REO has six parts. The residency requirement is suspended, leaving contractors mandated to pay prevailing wage, provide workers compensation, prevents contractors from misclassifying workers as independent contractors, asks for apprenticeship training and requires health-care coverage. (Regarding health-care coverage, the city’s REO says employers have to actually provide coverage, rather than just paying extra to workers and having them go out and ﬁnd their own.) The state already mandates these stipulations, minus the residency portion. UCANE isn’t impressed. “I can’t even understand why they would even consider doing it,” says the group’s executive director, Anne Klayman. “To me it doesn’t matter [if it’s public or private money]. This is America. People should be able to live and work where they want.” Despite the legal hurdles, Donahue said last week that the current local ordinance “has served the city of Worcester extremely well” and offered that other cities have “very effectively navigated

During a panel discussion at the Worcester Public Library before the Front Street ceremony, Murray noted a memorandum of understanding developing among Worcester’s business

Bank shot

City Councilor wants Worcester to divest from banks not following foreclosure rules Jeremy Shulkin

“T

he ﬁrst foreclosure has a really big impact,” says Grace Ross, author of economiccrisis book “Main Street Smarts” and a housing activist with the Worcester AntiForeclosure Team and the Massachusetts Alliance Against Predatory Lending. “At this point, the deeper issue is wherever they foreclose, it brings the value down around the foreclosure … It really downward-spirals the whole neighborhood,” she told Worcester Mag in January. There’s little question that the foreclosure crisis has impacted Worcester’s neighborhoods. In 2011, 472 foreclosure deeds were recorded at the registry of deeds for Worcester along with 1,196 complaints signaling the intent to foreclose. And as Ross said, foreclosures rarely exist in a vacuum: surrounding homes feel the impact of their neighbors emptied of

residents. It’s the after-effects that have convinced City Councilor George Russell that the city may need to re-examine who it banks with.

In comments aimed mostly at Bank of America but extendable to any foreclosing agency, Russell, whose District 3 has been especially hard-hit with foreclosures, says that by keeping titles in the name of previous owners already evicted, banks have been able to skip out on registering their foreclosed property with the City of Worcester. “The bottom line is they do the foreclosure, they throw the family out that’s in there and leave it in the name of the old owner,” says Russell, a real-estate agent by day. “We see it at the closing table,” he explains, which mucks up real estate transactions. “Closing gets put off dramatically because they don’t have the proper title.” In 2009, with the goal of limiting the amount of ﬁnancial resources expunged on foreclosed properties falling into disrepair while under bank ownership, the City of Worcester passed an ordinance requiring banks to notify the city whenever they foreclose and pony up a

$5,000 bond. The city takes a 10 percent administrative cut and uses the remainder to perform upkeep on the property. When the bank sells the property they receive the balance of their bond. The City actually sued Bank of America in 2011 to jump start the bond collecting over a dispute over a property at 1 Blodgett Place. Since a Housing Court judge ruled the City could collect the $5,000, by February of this year, Worcester had collected more than $1.5 million from foreclosing agents. By keeping titles in the name of former tenants, as Russell alleges, banks avoid paying the $5,000 bond and get out of routine maintenance. Russell tells a story of a former local homeowner who was foreclosed upon and evicted, but continued to receive notices from the city asking him to mow his lawn. “Bottom line, I want to make sure the people that we’re doing business with don’t owe us money,” Russell explains about his thoughts to have the city stop

{ citydesk } using Bank of America as a vendor and move its accounts into local banking institutions. According to Amanda Wilson, the city’s director of housing and health inspections, Bank of America owns 232 of 528 bankregistered and bonded properties in the city. (That doesn’t include the number of buildings banks use for the operation of their company.) “That doesn’t even count all the short sales,” says Jen Solin of Community Realty, who says she’s also dealt with Russell’s same frustrations. “There’s nothing in it for the neighborhood,” she says of avoiding short sales or kicking homeowners out prematurely. She also provides an example of a bank losing money with these actions, explaining that it’s not even in the interest of ﬁnancial institutions to work the way they have been. “I think that would send a powerful message,” she says of Russell’s plan to put investments into local banks. Currently, Bank of America handles the city’s payroll and accounts-payable checking accounts. City Treasurer Mariann Castelli Hier says the relationship with Bank of

America “is working well” on the city’s side, and Massachusetts General Laws limits the amount of money municipalities can invest with individual banks. Additionally, there’s no rule requiring municipalities to bid out bank accounts. The City has about $25 million invested with Bank of America in payroll accounts. That number can change dramatically throughout the year, though. “It’s constantly fluctuating everyday with the ebbs and flows of our business,” Castelli Hier says. There could also be some benefits to doing business with banks that tailor accounting to municipalities. For instance, Castelli Hier says the City’s accounts with Bank of America are structured in a way that the interest the accounts earn covers transaction fees. A regional spokesperson for Bank of America chose not to comment on this story, or say whether this was an advantage the bank offers to governmental accounts. For Russell, the options provided by whatever financial institution does the City’s banking doesn’t matter to him much. “I’d rather do business with the local guys anyway,” he says.

themselves around” legal challenges. Two cities with residency requirements, Boston and San Francisco, were both mentioned. (Though Klayman says they’ve been in discussion with Boston over their REO recently.) Rushton said the council will give Moore more time to research other REOs and residency requirements, but the city council will likely vote on whether or not to begin enforcing the ordinance again sometime this month.

Dennis Berkey and City of Worcester Chief Economic Development Officer Tim McGourthy could meet with robotics companies. The common theme, he says, would be to identify growing companies that “play to Worcester’s strengths” and encourage them to come to Worcester, especially in light of CitySquare, CSX and improved transportation between Worcester and Boston. (Murray maintains that 25 trains will go back and forth between Worcester and Boston by the end of the year, as promised.) The request comes from what some thought was a missed opportunity last year. In September, drug company Pfizer announced it would sign a 10year lease in a building that hadn’t yet been constructed in Cambridge, Mass. Pfizer’s intent to expand in Massachusetts was well known months before – city councilor Rick Rushton expressed interest in recruiting the company to look at Worcester the previous June. Murray called the Pfizer decision “exhibit A in why you’ve got to do this. You’ve got to let them know there’s an alternative to Boston.” At the panel discussion Murray and

Worcester Mayor Joe Petty announced another prong to the business retention and attraction strategy: a series of City Council Economic and Development hearings in each of the city’s ﬁve districts that would ask residents for suggestions and ideas on the next phase of these projects, ways to improve business recruitment and retention strategies and supporting woman- and minority-owned businesses. These meetings are slated to begin in June. “The CitySquare project is not the beginning of an end, it’s the beginning of the next phase of Worcester’s history,” Petty wrote in a statement. “I am excited to engage the residents and businesses of Worcester in this conversation, and I encourage all to attend.” “How do we market what’s coming in?” Murray asks, rephrasing the questions. As for CitySquare, he’s unconcerned that so far only two companies – Unum and St. Vincent Hospital – have committed to space in the development zone. “People who are starting to pay attention are starting to say, ‘Wow,’” the Lt. Governor says.

{ worcesteria } PANDAMONIUM AT THE PALLADIUM:

Word spread to the Worcester Mag ofďŹ ce pretty quickly on Tuesday that the owners of the Palladium were ďŹ ling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or at least threatening to ďŹ le â&#x20AC;&#x201C; paperwork for the demolition of the music hot spot and regional Juggalo headquarters in order to create more parking for the courthouse across the street. Worcester attorney and Palladium owner John Fischer, when asked to comment on the rumors, said he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made a decision yet but added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has a lot to do with taxes.â&#x20AC;? Like a number of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commercial property owners, the Palladium has seen a huge spike in its ďŹ scal year 2012 assessment and subsequent tax bill, jumping from an assessed value of $689,000 in 2011 to $2.27 million this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still debating what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do,â&#x20AC;? Fischer lamented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know by August 1.â&#x20AC;?

Jeremy Shulkin

THEATRE DISCREPANCY: How does the Palladiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessment compare to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two other theaters, the ritzy Hanover and the biohazardous Paris Cinema? In 2011, the Paris had an assessed value of $576,000 which jumped to $2.1 million this year, despite the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vacancy since 2006. As for the Hanover, its assessment has held steady at $534,600 since 2008. Though the Hanover is a nonproďŹ t and therefore not taxable, city assessor Bill Ford says the assessment for the theater is lower than the Palladium and the Paris because of its Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) deal, which literally overrides the assessed value of the building. (Without the TIF, the Hanover is worth $4.15 million.) Not so coincidentally, former city treasurer Tim Cronin, speaking to the city council on May 22 during their tax classiďŹ cation hearing, called the maneuver of not taking full assessed values of TIFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d propertiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (or any propertiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for that matter) into account â&#x20AC;&#x153;illegalâ&#x20AC;? when setting the tax rate. According to him, any new growth not identiďŹ ed in the total assessed values unfairly falls on other taxpayers to cover with their taxes. Ford suggested that state laws around assessment practices and TIFs contradict themselves, each offering differing ways to factor the values of TIFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d properties into ďŹ nal budgets. â&#x20AC;Ś As for the surprising correspondence between the Paris Cinema and the Palladium in terms of assessed value, Ford noted that the Parisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; additional 10,000-square footage and mix of residential and commercial space was enough to off-set the condition discrepancies.

REPORT CARD DAY: It was not much of a surprise that City Manager Michael

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien received another round of favorable reviews from the city council this week, rating him an average of 4.56 on a scale of 1 to 5. A number of councilors pointed to Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handling of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ nances â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly improvements to Worcesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bond ratings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; signiďŹ cant steps forward in the development of the CitySquare parcel and the effectiveness of his departments and employees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ask yourself, if you were the mayor of Providence or SpringďŹ eld would you like to trade placesÂ [with Worcester]?â&#x20AC;? Bill Eddy asked.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;The answer is an unqualiďŹ ed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yes.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Sarai Rivera, among others, noted his propensity to ďŹ nd revenue and balance budgets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been challenged to think outsideÂ the box...heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s met the challenge.â&#x20AC;? Though after a year with some turbulence over personnel clashes, assessment questions and continued prodding for more minority hires, a few councilors noted that any real criticisms or important topics should be reserved for executive session rather than out in the open â&#x20AC;&#x201C; despite the charterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requirement that the Managerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evaluation be public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the charter fails us,â&#x20AC;? Mike Germain suggested.

ELM PARK QUESTIONS: As the Parks Commission voted in favor of proposed

renovations to Elm Park brought forward by city administration last month, they also asked that city ofďŹ cials sit down with members of the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elm Park task force. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our concern is maintaining the historic character of the park,â&#x20AC;? says task force member and Preservation Worcester executive director Deb Packard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That has to be balanced against the maintenance of the park.â&#x20AC;? Parks and Recreation commission member Paul Gunnerson said that the meeting approved â&#x20AC;&#x153;a project in conceptâ&#x20AC;? with allowances for adjustments, and noted further discussions between task force members and city planners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We kind of built that into our vote,â&#x20AC;? he adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hopeful to sit down and work this out,â&#x20AC;? Packard said. Issues over the accessibility of the meeting bled over to city council on Tuesday night, as petitioner Jo Hart noted the meeting that unveiled the plans wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t held at a location accessible by public transportation and asked that the Parks Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PowerPoint be shown at City Hall in a televised public meeting. The council sent that request to the Youth, Parks and Recreation committee. Parks Commissioner Rob Antonelli did not respond to requests for the park plan or for comment. Want more Worcesteria?

Appreciation I would like to express my deep gratitude and appreciation for the coverage Worcester magazine provided for our ﬁrst ever press conference, which was held on May 16th. At that time we announced plans to develop a new, non-partisan, issuesbased website named Dialogs at the Agora. I have already been contacted by numerousindividuals that already knew me, and received nothing but positive comments on that coverage. Your readers should consider themselves very fortunate in having a local publication that covers not only long established organizations but ﬂedgling startups as well. I expect that your story might generate some additional interest for the “solutions based” idea we presented. For those individuals so inclined to get more information, please let them know that they can contact Dialogs at the Agora directly by sending an email to TheAgora@charter.net. From your grateful reader, R ANDELL ORM O Founder, Dialogs at the Agora

Taxing what hurts us

ON T HE

EOPLE STREET What are your plans for the summer? ASKE D I N N U CAFÉ

I would argue that society has a right to regulate activities that impose a heavy burden on the public treasury. National medical costs of dealing with our obesity epidemic, associated with consumption of meat, dairy, and sugars, are estimated at $190 billion. Eliminating subsidies for these products, as well as judicious taxation to reduce their use and recoup public costs should be supported by health advocates and ﬁscal conservatives alike. Benjamin Franklin claimed that nothing is certain except death and taxes. Ironically, death can be deferred substantially by taxing products that make us sick.

Working, I was just promoted as a supervisor. I am from New Jersey and I’m going to go home a couple times and that is really my vacations.

Amanda Berg WORCESTER I will be working and heading to the beach for vacations. Little ones; nothing big.

Dignity, delivered I can look out my ofﬁce window right now and see the sea of American ﬂags that were “planted” in the NEDC lawn for Memorial Day. I am inspired by their works, and glad that Worcester Magazine is featuring their programs. Glad to be neighbors with such a positive organization. Submitted online by T E R R I LE A R Y

Michael Welch WORCESTER

Dear Editor, New York City Mayor Bloomberg,s decision to ban supersized sugary sodas has resurrected the age-old debate over the role of the state in protecting the public health. In recent years, this debate involved bicycle helmets, car seat belts, tobacco, trans fats, saturated fats in meat and dairy products, and sugar (or more aptly, high-fructose corn syrup). Public subsidies for tobacco, meat and dairy, and corn production added fuel to the debate.

Tell us how you really feel Letters to the editor should be legible, signed and brief (preferably no more than 200 words). A daytime telephone number must be provided for veriﬁcation. Worccester Mag reserves the right to edit letters for length, clarity, libelous or offensive material and style.

Outdoor dining at its best Kevin Koczwara

es, the summer sun is hot, but is there anything like sitting on a patio and enjoying the sunset while eating delicious food and drinking a glass of wine, a margarita or a tasty beer? The answer: No.

Central Massachusetts isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t short on places to take a seat outside, hopefully under an umbrella, and enjoy the warm nights enjoying good food, drinks and friends or family.

usic festivals, which have become the proffered way of experiencing live music, seem to be popping up everywhere. They’ve also become the best way for bands to connect fans and show off what they’re doing to new and ever-expanding crowds. The mecca of musical festivals in California, Montreal, Tennessee and Chicago are all good and fine, but they’re expensive when you tally up the cost of tickets, travel, camping/living accommodations and food. Thankfully there are plenty of local festivals in the area that are more affordable and only a short drive or train ride away. Mohegan Sun: Sun BBQ Fest June 1-3 1 Mohegan Sun Blvd., Uncasville, CT 888-226-7711 mohegansun.com/bbq Host Mike Petit of NESN’s “Grillseekers” hosts the three-day event filled with cooking demonstrations, live bands and BB “Q and A” sessions with Pit Master Troy Black, among other events. Performers include Robert Cray, Jay Dempsey & Highway Call, Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds, Mammoth Jack, Sugar and Shady Creek. Tickets are $30 per day and include eight food tickets. Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster. com or at Mohegan Sun’s Box Office. Kids 10 and younger get in free (does not include food tickets).

ur pets are equally important this summer; they get just as bored as we do sitting inside all day. Take the beautiful weather as an opportunity for some outdoor bonding with your furry family member. Check out the Boynton Dog Park. It will keep both you and your fourlegged companion preoccupied all day. The huge field here means plenty of space for dogs of all sizes. Your pup can join the crowd for a run around the field, or just lay back, relax and enjoy the sun. yelp.com/biz/ boynton-parkdoggy-parkworcester Mower Street, Worcester

Dogs need friendship just as we do, we can’t always give them exactly what they need! Find a Dog Play Group convenient for your schedule and close to home. Some groups meet sparingly, but there’s always a chance to plan individual play dates with your dog’s closest friend. For those looking, maybe you’ll find another single man or woman whose dog just happens to get along with your own. Try Walk the Dog Worcester. dog-play-groups. meetup.com/cities/us/ ma/worcester/ meetup.com/Walk-the-Dog-Worcester/

The Blackstone River Bikeway is a dog-friendly bike path. It’s still being developed, but there are currently over 10 miles of completed trail for use. It will eventually span a whopping 48 miles from Worcester to Providence. It’s probably not best to take your dog that length, but a shorter trip is fun and healthy for both you and your companion. Always remember to keep your dog on a leash and clean up after them. blackstoneriverbikeway.com/index.html Worcester Square Worcester, MA 01601 401-762-0250 Mark your calendars early for the Pet Rock Festival on Sept. 9. The festival is an all-day event full of music, contests, raffles and performances. Pet Rock’s mission was sparked due to an episode of animal cruelty that founder Charlene Arsenault could not ignore. While the festival is one a one-day event, it has a year-round

goal of educating people about the importance of treating animals with the same respect we give humans. petrockfest.org Festival Location: Quinsigamond Community College 670 W Boylston St, Worcester, MA 01606 508-853-2300 For us humans, summer equals vacation, but not all travel destinations are pet friendly. We don’t all have a friendly neighbor or family member that can take in Rufus or Mr. Cuddles for us. Dogma, a care center located in Millbury, will help you out in a furry situation. This will be like a vacation for your cat or dog as well. With a fenced in two-acre yard, in-ground swimming pool, baby pools and ballthrowing, your dog will have more fun than he knows that to do with. They offer grooming services as well. dogmadoggy.com 154 Riverlin St. Millbury, MA 01527 508-865-8155

hether they live right down the street or in some condominium in Florida, you might need to entertain the grandparents in your life this summer. Here are some ideas that will help fill up the time when they are visiting. Some, they can explore on their own, but others are fun for the whole family to do together. Take a trip back in time to the 19th century at Old Sturbridge Village. There is always an event going on, on top of seeing the gardens, to walking around taking in the sights, or chatting up one of the staff members, appropriately named history interpreters. June 16 and 17 is the Music and Art Weekend, the perfect opportunity for the family to be entertained as well as educated. Check out its events website for more information on this and a long list of other exciting events. 1 Old Sturbridge Village Rd., Sturbridge 800-733-1830, osv.org. Travel through time in armored history at Higgins Armory. Visit the only museum dedicated to armor in the western hemisphere. The building itself isn’t bad to look at either, as the art-deco building is made of steel and glass. They have plenty of special events on the weekends including a live armor show and combat demonstrations. On top of an already discounted senior admission price, every Tuesday it knocks off another dollar from the price and takes 10 percent off all nonclearance purchases in the museum store. The armory is open until four every day.100 Barber

Bigger on the Inside The Heart of Worcester’s Last Independent Bookstore Trisha J. Wooldridge

Located on 65 James St., Annie’s Book Stop of Worcester may still be recovering from the financial hardship of the bridge construction from last October that put off significant traffic – but that isn’t keeping the family of owners, staff and volunteers from making big plans: starting with a summer full of events and workshops, nearly all featuring local authors, poets and artists.

The bookstore’s tagline, “bigger on the inside,” comes from the longest-running science-ﬁction series in the world, “Doctor Who,” and it ﬁts in more ways than one. When people enter what looks like a tiny shop in the plaza, they are surprised at a bookshelf labyrinth much larger than the entrance suggests. Additionally, Annie’s of Worcester is also a more diverse shop than others using the name and model. Bret Herholz, local artist and one of the store’s two employees, explains, “It’s not your traditional Annie’s. What [owner] Patty has worked so hard to establish is having something for everyone. But at the same time not alienating the customers who have been loyally buying their contemporary and historical romances since the store was in Auburn.” Local author and essayist Joe Fusco, Jr., who will be hosting a signing event at the bookstore on Thursday, June 28, for his collection, “The Lost then Found Essays of Joe Fusco Jr.,” describes Annie’s of Worcester as “a delightful maze containing a plethora of books, new and used, for every taste and imagination” and it’s owners as being “very receptive and enthusiastic to displaying my collection of humorous essays.” Owner Patricia “Patty” Cryan discovered the Worcester Annie’s Book Stop in 2007 when it was on Stafford Street and started working as a volunteer, moving with the store when it came to its current location on James Street. In 2010, she and her partner, Michael Salvo, had the opportunity to purchase the store, so they “took the plunge, rather than deprive the city of Worcester of its last remaining independent bookstore.” Another piece of what makes Annie’s Book Stop of Worcester unique is what the owners and staff bring to it. Cryan and Salvo, thanks to their existing book and media company, Mike’s Comics, are able to populate the bookstore with imported books, magazines, audio and toys from the U.K.—particularly the “Doctor Who”

program, from where they take their tagline. They also have been active members of the Northeastern science fiction and fantasy community for many years, so they’ve brought that to the store—significantly growing their sections of science fiction, fantasy, horror, suspense and paranormal romance. Cryan was also the Children’s Department head at Tatnuck Bookseller & Sons for several years before moving to their purchasing department, so she uses her existing connections to ensure a strong children’s section at Annie’s of Worcester, as well as maintaining a strong stock of new books and bestsellers. Serving the Worcester community goes beyond providing “out of this world” experiences to bookstore patrons. Cryan, Salvo and the staff of employees and volunteers strive to support the Worcester small business and arts community. “[We’re] working with schools to extend teacher and student discounts,” describes Salvo. “We’re starting to reach local companies, also, to extend discounts to people who work in local businesses, and we’ve implemented a special order and search service to further help people track down books they want while keeping prices on all of them at a discount ...” Another benefit to the community is the extensive events calendar (see sidebar for a listing through August), which has a two-fold benefit of introducing some of the excellent local talent to the community: The local artists and authors can get their work out there, and bookstore patrons can discover new loves. Most events are free to the community, and those that do have a cost associated—such as publishing and writing workshops— frequently give discounts to Worcester organizations and college students. Patty also hosts a free weekly gettogether at the store for local crafters, called Spinning Yarns, where anyone can come in and listen to an audiobook or drama while working on their craft. Hosting events is part of Cryan’s dedication to new authors. Founder of the Worcester Writer’s Collaborative and author of “Must’ve Done Something Good” and “We Have Confidence!,” Cheryl Cory, shares her experience with the bookstore. “I’ve seen first-hand how Patty goes out of her way to help encourage and promote our member writers. From hosting author events, workshops and group meetings to keeping a healthy stock of locally written books in a prominent spot at the front of the shop, Patty has made it clear that her Annie’s Book Stop is a friend and supporter of local writers.” Another member of the Worcester Writers Collaborative, author Cynthia A. Nardella Ciullo, who writes as C.C. Beechum and has published two children’s books adds, “Patty let me put my very first novel in

her bookstore. Some months later, I ﬁnished my second children’s novel in the Penelope Barrows series, and she called ME to get my new book on her shelves. Now, I call that a writer’s dream!” Find out more at anniesbookstopworcester.com or visit the blog at anniesbookstopworcester.wordpress.com.

Ascending artists from Assumption Senior art at the Sprinkler

“All of these artists were in my Senior Art Seminar class this past semester,” says Tom Grady, visiting assistant professor of art at Assumption. “We have an exhibit every year at the D’Alzon Library at Assumption as their ﬁnal project, and this year the students expressed a strong desire to exhibit off campus in a larger gallery space in addition to the D’Alzon exhibit. Anne Harris provides a huge and stunning oil painting of a tree, long dead and decayed, a monumental tribute to its natural cycle, once alive and now rotting, ultimately becoming one with the earth.

SEAN O’GARA

Starting June 8, the culmination of four years of academia will be present in the new exhibit at the Sprinkler Factory, where 13 graduates of Assumption College will showcase their sundry works to the public. The exhibit, Emerging Perspectives, highlights these young and talented artists in the mediums of painting, sculpture, graphic design, video and mixed media, a cornucopia of consummate creations crafted by a bevy of budding artisans.

“The inspiration for my tree abstractions began from an old, dead tree in my backyard,” says Harris. “The rough texture of the bark and layers of subtle, organic color resonated deeply within me.” The 58-by-58-inch untitled work is striking in its abstraction, echoing the lithe and sinewy rhythms of the human body, and the wood strains with dynamic tension. Jasper Coutu presents an entirely different medium with his blowtorched wood designs. “Use Your Hands” is composed of strips of oak stock glued together in a staggered fashion, and it took over 36 hours to complete. “I wanted to embrace the elegance of deformities in the wood and keep the material as raw as possible,” explains Coutu. “The image is of my own hands, burned into the wood. I went back into it, carving out around the outside of the hands to give the image depth and texture.” Melissa Brazeau’s enormous piece, “Joy,” accentuates the beauty and joi de vivre of the title. The 58-by-58-inch oil painting depicts a nude woman wholly UNTITLES, BY

engaged in such an overwhelming emotion, frolicking amongst otherworldly organic shapes, a veritable garden of delight. “I chose to paint a nude model not to sexualize my painting, but rather to have the ﬁgure be as unrestricted as the decorations in the work,” says Brazeau. Brazeau says that she was inspired by the work of Beatriz Milhazes, abstractions laced with vibrant colors combined with swirling shapes and circles. “My art work attempts to combine abstraction with the ﬁgure. I believe these subjects work well together because nudes have such beauty and grace and abstract painting has limitless possibilities.” For her very last college art project, artist Laura Traverse decided to create something entirely foreign to her graphic design major: collage. Working in this medium “…allowed me to work as a graphic designer by incorporating design and typography from the ripped media used,” says Traverse. “The recycled

newspapers and magazines used to create my portraits represent my environmental interest for the planet.” “Addiction has one path and that is to destroy,” says Christine Hitchins. “Quite the opposite of an artist whose primary purpose is to create. How ironic for my Senior Art Seminar that the very creation of my work is dependent on that which destroys. Every one of my pieces is made out of products derived from substances people can be addicted to.” In one of her pieces, a deﬁant woman stares back at the viewer, and only upon close examination does one deduce that the portrait is made of actual cigarette butts and torn strips of cigarette cartons. Other superb artists in the show are Sean O’Gara, Michelle Hemeon, Maribeth Deﬂaminis, Chris Cirilli, Ashley Costanzo, Nick Frazier, Mike O’Connor and Stephanie Wilcinski. “I want this to be the students project and give them the experience of putting on a large scale exhibit off campus, says Grady. “The students worked hard all semester and this is a nice way to celebrate that achievement and share it with the community.” Emerging Perspectives at The Sprinkler Factory, 38 Harlow St., Worcester. Opening reception: Friday, June 8, from 6- 9 p.m. Show runs through June 30. For more information, visit sprinklerfactory. com.

attendance (and tickets for children under 17 are free). It’s all about developing relationships.”

Next week marks the PHOTO SUBMITTED start of the typically busy summer season of the acclaimed Worcester Chamber Music Society as it gives its thirdannual free concert for seniors at The Willows of Worcester. The June 7 program, consisting of what executive director Tracy Kraus calls a “summary [of] the concerts we performed this season,” features the piano quartet of Gabriel Fauré And these relationships are bearing fruit. Last season, the music society’s free alongside Antonín Dvoák’s family concert at Mechanics Hall attracted “String Quintet in E-ﬂat.” an audience of more than 500 people, Musicians performing in the of whom, Kraus notes, had never concert include violinist Krista many before attended a classical music concert. Buckland Reisner, violist (and Following its June performance, the Worcester native) Peter Sulski, music society heads to Anna Maria College for its annual Summer Festival, and pianist Ian Watson.

For the Worcester Chamber Music Society, which was founded in 2006, these free concerts are integral to the ensemble’s mission. As Kraus says, “Our community and educational outreach are an essential part of what we do. In addition to free concerts, each season we visit schools in the area where we perform and talk about the process of making music together. This past season, we were in residence at the Burncoat Fine Arts Magnet Program, where we worked closely with the high school music students; the Abby Kelly Foster School; Hardwick Elementary School; and Shrewsbury Middle School.” While many arts organizations (including the Boston Symphony Orchestra) have in recent years cut outreach and education efforts owing to the difﬁcult economic climate, the Worcester Chamber Music Society has no plans to do so. “Developing new audiences for classical music is a challenge for all classical music ensembles these days,” Ms. Kraus admits, but “accessibility is key. We have developed several strategies, some more successful than others. Through our relationship with the students at Burncoat and our free family concerts, we have seen a signiﬁcant increase in student

of Brahms. Then, after a short break in August, it’s on to season seven. “We have ﬁve programs lined up” for next season, Kraus announces, while pointing out that, in addition to the Main Stage concerts, the music society will be continuing its informal Café Series (at The People’s Kitchen Restaurant in Worcester) and have three Very Open Rehearsals in local homes (slated for November, January, and April). Highlights for season seven include a concert called “Impressions” in November (featuring pieces by François Couperin, Claude Debussy,

Toru Takemitsu, and Maurice Ravel) and “The White House Concert and Beyond” (in conjunction with the Worcester Art Museum’s “Kennedy to Kent State” exhibit) in January. But that’s all looking rather far off into the future. For now, the focus is on Thursday’s concert and remembering one of the prime reasons why the Worcester Chamber Music Society makes music to begin with. “Reaching out to underserved areas of our community is an important part of the WCMS mission,” Ms. Kraus emphasizes. It’s a big part, to be sure, but one that Ms. Kraus and her colleagues do particularly well. The Worcester Chamber Music Society’s third-annual seniors concert is held at The Willows of Worcester at 7:30 p.m. on June 7. The concert is free, but reservations are required. Call 978-456-2730 to reserve your seats. Visit worcesterchambermusic. org for more information.

which runs the month of July. The Summer Festival features both a chamber music summer camp for musicians of all ages and levels of ability, and a series of four faculty concerts at Anna Maria’s Miriam Hall. This year’s concerts showcase an appealingly wide range of repertoire, stretching from J.S. Bach to the contemporary British composer Jonathan Harvey, with a special focus on the music

What genre(s) do you write? And why? Right now my bent is for fantasy, because those are currently my favorite books to read. That deﬁnitely wasn’t always the case. I wasn’t a fan of reading fantasy at all growing up. It wasn’t until I picked up the “Harry Potter” books in college, because I knew they’d be popular with my students, that I realized what I’d been missing.

Do you include any local places in your stories?

the Cape. My students would probably describe me as a bit of a push-over, my friends would call me a goofball, and my family knows I’m a geek. And I’m okay with all those descriptors.

How long have you been writing? Well, I remember for awhile as a kid thinking I wanted to be a veterinarian, there was a stage in middle school when I considered running away to be an actress, but other than that, yes, I’ve always wanted in one way or another to be a writer. In middle school I thought I’d be a poet. I had notebooks full of corny, rhyming poems. My dad tried to steer me away from that. He wasn’t keen on the idea of paying for a college degree in something I could almost certainly never support myself with. Eventually I decided on journalism. I loved current events, was passionate about politics, so I thought it’d be a good ﬁt. I was less than a semester into college when I realized it wasn’t. That was when I decided to go into education to share my passion for literature and writing that way. I never gave up the dream of becoming a writer, but it did get

MAD

Although I wanted the freedom of creating a ﬁctional city in Massachusetts, I did use a combination of the places I’ve visited and lived to create my setting. Bristol is a small city that I pictured to be a cross between Lowell and Worcester. It’s an older city that’s trying to redevelop and recreate itself after a period of decline following the closing of many of its industries. However, being a beach lover, I had to set it near the ocean. My vampires have been able to stay under the radar in Bristol because its streets are quiet at night. I did name a bar McNally’s after the one in Clinton, but that was simply because I liked the name and my vamps moved to America from Ireland. I thought it ﬁtting that their hangout be an Irish pub.

Can you tell us a little about what you’re working on next? My main focus is book two in

the series, “Unveiled.” ... I’ve had a completed draft since last summer, but I learned with “Unforeseen” that it’s best to let a manuscript sit awhile before doing those ﬁnal revisions.

For aspiring authors out there what has been the best advice you’ve received? Know why you

write. If you’re writing simply to get published or to get rich, you’re never going to be happy. Write because it’s what you love and who you are. Or write because you have something important to say or an entertaining tale to tell. Learn more about Lauren Grimely at facebook.com/AuthorLaurenGrimley

Webster’s rare gem Mallory Sterling

I never had reason to visit Webster. My ﬁrst venture there, on a recent Friday night, was instigated by raves from friends about the former Webster Five Cents Savings Bank, converted to a fullservice Chinese and Japanese restaurant.

I immediately loved Eastern Pearl’s façade, and that it still looks like a bank. I can envision opening those double doors to make a transaction or discuss loan options with a trusted banker. The interior woodwork — especially the inlayed clock above the doorway — has that same vibe, straight from the set of “The Sting.” Splitpea-green walls and Asian trinkets and ornaments update the ambience, and the gorgeous vintage chandelier, centered

above the dozen or so tables, is the highlight of the restaurant space. Diners have the option of booth seating along the perimeter of the space, tables in the center, or stools at either the sushi bar or cocktail bar. We took our seats and unintentionally bypassed the specials listed near the hostess stand. Fortunately, when we asked if there were any specials we should be aware of, our server knew them all. She recommended the Fire special — a sushi roll with baked scallops and shrimp tempura rolled in seaweed, topped with a warm crab and mushroom mixture and a light sprinkling of toasted panko ($10.95). The Sweetheart roll ($10.95) with tuna, lobster salad, mango and avocado rolled in pink soy paper, then drizzled with mango sauce has a clever presentation — eight pieces plated side by side to comprise four hearts — but we found the sweetness overpowered the tuna and lobster. The delicious Pink Lady ($10.95) with some of my favorite combinations — shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, avocado and eel – is also wrapped in pink soy paper. All rolls were fresh, imaginative and creatively displayed, but our preference

of traditional nori (seaweed-wrapped) sushi versus pink soy paper made the Fire special a standout. We ordered the BBQ squid and miso soups for appetizers, continuing with the happenstance theme of Japanese to start, and Chinese to finish. The BBQ squid ($6.95) is a must for any table, if only to admire the artistry of the 4-inch rose garnish created from a continuous thread of radish, then dyed a vibrant neon-pink. Also, it’s delicious, with an unexpected spicy heat in the BBQ sauce smothered over tender, grilled rings and tentacles. The drive would’ve been worth it for the squid alone. Our server correctly suggested the Pu Pu Platter ($16.95). Intended to serve two, it is comprised of two egg rolls, fried shrimp, boneless spareribs, chicken wings, two beef teriyaki skewers, chicken fingers, and crab rangoons. This platter — along with an order of the Chow Foon flat noodles ($7.25) — made us look like

{ dining}

gluttons. I thought I would’ve been content with just the squid, but then I would have missed the addictive, tender and sweet little bites of boneless spareribs and the smoky, rich flavor from the thinly-pounded beef teriyaki. Bowls of duck sauce accompany the platter for dipping of fried items, though the chicken wings needed a little extra spicy sauce on the side, perhaps some Sriracha. The Chow Foon (served with either beef or chicken) has wide, flat noodles with generous slices of meat. It completely satisfied my Chinese-carb craving and is a portion large enough for leftovers. Dinner rendered us speechless for minutes at a time, too consumed with what to eat next. One hot sake, one Sapporo, two sodas, and platters of food later, our tab totaled $113 (tip included). Sated upon exiting, I couldn’t help imagining the history that took place throughout the decades in this warm and inviting space, while also envisioning our future visit.

Like the rest of the menu, salads do change with the ingredients of the season. The two salads Katie and I had the pleasure of eating were “Beets” and “Asparagus.” The beet salad consisted of roasted beets, fresh arugula and wide shavings of sweet carrots atop pureed red beets and “walnut-graham soil.” Sprinkled with walnuts and Narragansett feta cheese, and dressed with a citrus-sherry-herb vinaigrette, it was the perfect balance of sweet and savory with a nice blend of textures in each bite. The asparagus salad was just as excellent. The base was asparagus a la plancha, delicious on its own: a nice balance of crisp char and tender stalk. Atop that was shaved asparagus, and spring greens accented with lemon ricotta and candied hazelnuts. STEVEN KING Refreshing, with just a touch of sweet, this was a superb eating experience in all senses. Salad portions would not be enough to constitute a meal for most people, but the salads and a shared bowl of soup du jour made a satisfying meal for two. The prices might seem high for the portions, but if you’ve got an appreciation for unique flavors and the best ingredients, it’s a fair reflection of the quality. While you’re exploring the many virtues of Armsby Abbey, definitely leave room for salad.

Hurt Reynolds Clothing Co.’s

Andy Rossman and Curt Vezina

STEVEN KING

Two minutes with...

Andy Rossman, 35, and Curt Vezina, 38, grew up in the Leominster/ Fitchburg area during the metal-heavy ’90s. In 2010, Rossman printed up one T-shirt as a sort of whim for a band that never panned out, Hurt Reynolds, and the shirt sold out! Now Rossman and Vezina have their own online clothing company, Hurt Reynolds Clothing Co, selling apparel with their own fresh, unique designs. These music-lovers turned T-shirt moguls gave us a few minutes of their time to tell us more about how they started and what they plan to do next. How did Hurt Reynolds Clothing Co. start? Andy Rossman: I heard the name from a friend of ours back in 2007, and it just stuck in my head because I thought it was funny. Originally, it was supposed to be a band, but due to everyone’s schedules, it wasn’t able to work out. So in early 2010, I decided I needed to print up at least one shirt for fun. Well, they sold pretty quickly! After that is where Curt comes into the picture. He had asked me if I needed any help putting out another shirt and selling it. We had been friends for a while, so we teamed up to combine our efforts—which were at the time pretty much putting out some cool shirts just for fun.

What’s up with the curly mustache part of your logo and many of your designs? AR: Well, we initially started with Burt Reynolds’ face on our designs. We decided though to stop using his image because we were gaining attention and our name was spreading. We wanted to avoid possible lawsuits, but we really loved the mustache design. We knew we had to work with it. The options are endless on what it can be added to.

How would you describe the style of clothing you make? AR: I guess the style

can be described as a few things. We have many different styles of clothing that can really appeal to everyone. We like to make clothes that we personally would like to wear but also have it so that it covers a wide range of interest. We cover a lot of ground: sports, music, TV, and all sorts of entertainment. We do some mock shirts for fun but also come up with our own original ideas.

Do you have a team of artists you work with, or do you create the T-shirt art yourself? AR: When we ﬁrst started,

we had some artist friends helping us out. They laid the foundation for us. But we were looking for digital artwork to bring our ideas out and look more professional. So we got in touch with a good friend of ours who runs DarkicoN Designs. Basically, we give him ideas, and he brings them to life and lets us know if certain things would work better in different designs. Check DarkicoN out on Facebook.

I hear you sponsor bands. How did that come about? AR: Both of us grew up

in the Twin City metal and hardcore music scene in the early ’90s. We would go see bands every weekend ranging from our local area to anywhere else there was a good show. It was a passion of ours. We also started booking events for our friends’ bands and touring bands coming through the area. So when we started the company, a friend of ours who manages bands asked us if we wanted to sponsor a touring band that he knew. From that point on, it just kind of snowballed. We took on more and more bands that we liked and that we felt could bring our name to more and more people. Sponsoring a band pretty much means giving them shirts to wear live, in promo shoots, videos and stuff like that, and in return, we advertise them on our Facebook page and our website. We try to help each other out and make it a win-win situation. Get them heard and get us seen.

Are there any up-and-coming bands that Worcester County residents should know about? AR: Absolutely! Honestly we

like a lot of the bands out there right now. There are so many really good bands that are working really hard and

should be heard: Pathogenic, Acaro, Conforza, Stoop Kid, The Summoned, Widow Sunday, Sinners, The River Neva, Western Massacre, Shred Of Salvation, Murdoc, Excrecor, Manifest.

Right now, Hurt Reynolds is an onlineonly store that sells T-shirts. Any plans for expansion in the future? AR: We

do have the website, but we also set up at a lot of events around the New England area. We are trying to expand into doing more events as well. So far we have been vendors at music festivals, horror conventions, tattoo conventions, beneﬁt shows and other events around the area. We have a lot of clothing ideas that we’ll be doing, a lot of really cool things coming such as skate decks, tattoo shirts designed by selected artists, bandanas and other goodies that are in the works. Our goal is deﬁnitely to open an actual store where people can walk in and purchase a piece of our merchandise.
