Seeing the woods through the trees Polar Beverage construction distresses neighbors Jeremy Shulkin

ancy Torowski has lived on Tracy Place, a small road with a 90-degree bend near the Auburn/ Worcester line for decades. Her house actually predates the Polar Beverage Corporations bottling plant 200 feet north of her house and the Polar warehouse leased by the Highland Southbridge Corporation’s, 100 feet to the south. She hasn’t complained about the changing area though, since a small wooded area sits between her land and the warehouse. She’s let tall grass, shrubs and maple trees expand over her property line because she’s enjoyed the privacy and watching the wildlife. In February of 2010 though, she and other Tracy Place residents have not been impressed by Polar’s neighborliness. According to maps at the Auburn Planning Board office, the Highland

Southbridge Corporation’s parcel has only one access point, a driveway over a stretch of Providence & Worcester railroad track. That road had to be closed for repairs years ago, leading to Polar asking for permission to alter Highland Southbridge’s premises in the hopes of expanding the parking lot 125,000 square feet and creating a second access point, one whose function wasn’t at the whim of a third party. Tracy Place residents received a notice for a public meeting that only referenced the warehouse part of the project, but said nothing about an access road. Torowski says she was worried about the woods and her buffer between her property and the warehouse, but she was reassured by Polar’s project manager that they would leave a buffer of trees to at least simulate a much larger wooded area. But the construction tells a different story. Torowski’s house sits at the

90-degree bend in the road. Kitty corner to her house sits a large, barren scooped out pathway of earth that comes right up to the street – a straight shot between the warehouse and the bottling plant down 200 feet of Tracy Place. Polar’s filings with the planning board never included anything about an access road. Torowski says she learned of Polar’s real intent from a workman who admitted the company was trying to “sneak it in there.” Much of the dirt excavated has been used in the foundation of the building’s expansion. Polar did not return phone calls asking for comment. “They’ve not been real truthful all the time in what they say,” Torowski accuses. Since the neighbors started airing concerns about large trucks using such a small road and the loss of trees, it appears Polar has quietly backed away from its access road. No more plans have been

Work’s out for summer

Youth job program likely to see heavy cuts this year Jeremy Shulkin

ven as Worcester took a scalpel to the city budget and found savings for one month of the much-lauded Worcester Police Department’s Summer Impact program in Fiscal Year 2012 – a crime prevention initiative that floods city streets with additional patrol cars at night – there’s concern that another impact program also won’t have sufficient funding. A conglomerate of state, local, private and nonprofit funding sources came together last year to pool $2.3 million in funding that created 1,523 summer jobs for at-risk Worcester teens between the ages of 14 and 18. This year, due to the end of federal stimulus money and cuts at the state level, Worcester will see those figures halved, though final details won’t

come out until after the state’s budget conference committee finalizes the fiscal year 2012 budget. While City Councilor Barbara Haller has concerns about cutting the police department’s Summer Impact initiative, she’s also concerned about the loss of youth-jobs funding. “There’s another side to that coin,” she says of crime prevention. It doesn’t always have to include police cruisers. She adds that most of those who work with teens put employment availability high on their wish list to keep kids on the right track. Most of the cuts to the program will come from the state. For the summer of 2010, the commonwealth’s Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development and Commonwealth Corporation allocated $8 million in

funding for YouthWorks, with additional American Reinvestment and Recovery Act funds tacked on. This year, the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act money has run out, and the state has scrounged up $4 million and $2 million in Byrne Act grants. For Worcester, that means the $684,000 provided to the state through YouthWorks last year will probably shrink to $378,000, but that is contingent on what the budget conference committee comes out with in its final budget proposal. That’s a drop off from more than 600 last summer to 340 as a starting point for 2011. Jeff Turgeon, executive director of the Central Massachusetts Workforce Investment Board, the agency charged with disseminating state funds to the

ﬁled with Auburn’s planning board and construction in that area has stopped. A chain-link fence separates the dirt road from joining up with Tracy Place. Torowski’s neighbor has made her fears public at planning board meetings, Torowski penned a letter to the editor which appeared in the Telegram and Gazette and one neighbor drove by Torowski’s house and said, “Polar doesn’t care about my grandchildren with that right there,” pointing to the unﬁnished roadway. Adam Burney, Auburn’s town planner, says the planning board doesn’t have much control over a project once the work has begun, but

Polar could potentially be asked to replant the trees they said they’d leave as a buffer. Still, it’s surprising that a homegrown company would misread the atmosphere in Worcester and Auburn. As a result of the city losing tens of thousands of trees because of the invasive Asian Longhorned Beetle, it’s a wonder why any one would think the removal of more undamaged trees wouldn’t create a stir. Torowski says the woods have proven resilient, and as long as Polar has abandoned its plans for an access road she believes some of the trees and woods will grow back, but she knows it’ll take years.

Worcester Community Action Council, says until Governor Deval Patrick put forward a supplemental budget in January the state budget allocated absolutely no funding for youth jobs for FY 12. “We kind of spiked up a bit but now we’re back down,” he says of funding over the past few years. He’s also hopeful that the state’s Office of Public Safety will chip in. The funding has placed teens in nonprofits, city government and private companies. Last summer, teens held jobs at the YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, UMass Memorial Hospital, St. Vincent Hospital, Polar and Bay State Savings Bank. Through the Park Steward program, kids worked with neighborhood groups to clean up Coes Pond, Castle, Green Hill, Newton Hill and Crompton Park. The teens lucky enough to get these jobs this summer will see less financial gain than last year too. They’ll still make $8 per hour, but the program has dropped from 24 hours per week over six weeks to 20 hours per week over five weeks. At the June 2 Upsala Crime Watch meeting, the Worcester Police Department’s Community Impact division captain, Roger Steele, cautioned a crowd concerned with the perception of rising violence in the area. “We can’t just arrest our way out of a problem,” he said. This hit to youth-jobs funding takes away one more tool to keep kids busy and productive over the coming summer months.

Despite a seemingly frigid relationship between the city and NAGE (National Association of Government Employees) Local 495 union head Sean Maher, who recently addressed the city council and administration about a perceived lack of respect throughout their contract negotiations, the two sides have come together to find a tentative agreement. Assuming ratification of the contract happens later this week, the money saved from the number of DPW workers with GIC-like health care will off-set the previously planned devastating cuts to park services. By some accounts the NAGE and city negotiations turned ugly, with up to 65 language demands, threats of coercion and allegations that some well-connected DPW workers were trying to get the union to vote on a deal by circumventing their elected representation. But hey, all’s well that ends well, right? City Manager Michael O’Brien also said that he expects an agreement to come with the Worcester City Clerks Association, despite the council’s ratification of the Fiscal Year 2012 budget on Tuesday night.

70,000 SQUARE FEET BACK IN PLAY?: A headache property

for the city, the Wyman-Gordon plot on Madison St. could ﬁnally see some major changes. At Tuesday’s council meeting Mike Germain mentioned a conversation he had at Walmart with a company employee who said they might be looking to pick up operations in Worcester again, which would expand the use of the 70,000 square foot plot that’s fallen into neglect. The city has tried to wrestle it away from the company for revitalization purposes, but the company has balked at offers because, as City Manager O’Brien said on Tuesday, they thought they’d need it down the line. “I don’t want to be out there spreading rumors,” Germain added, looking for a report on the developments. “You just did,” a chorus of councilors quipped. Wyman-Gordon has been tightlipped with the city, so hold off on job applications until it’s conﬁrmed.

VIP: The CSX groundbreaking ceremony on Monday attracted Governor Deval

Patrick, brought home Lt. Governor Tim Murray and featured speeches by State Rep. Vincent Pedone, Mayor Joseph O’Brien, City Manager O’Brien and Lisa Mancini, a vice president within the freight company. But the person who had their name dropped the most was District 2 City Councilor Phil Palmieri. “I have to acknowledge Councilor Palmieri,” Mancini said from the podium. “He kept our feet to the ﬁre most of the way.” Palmieri was a mercurial bargainer throughout negotiations. He said he was a supporter for the project but was maybe the loudest defender of Putnam Lane and railed against potential pollution issues that may arise from having a 79 acre freight yard in the middle of a city.

The following day’s Tornadoes game will feature donated ﬁreworks, games and all attendees will receive a free baseball cap. Money generated by ticket sales and the additional fundraising will be donated to the Red Cross ’efforts in Central and Western Massachusetts. “It wouldn’t have happened without [the Tornadoes]. They were one of the ﬁrst calls we made,” O’Brien said on Tuesday night in regards to the community effort.

Report

The silence of council challengers is not golden Gary Rosen

lthough this is a municipal election year in Worcester, you would never know it from the lack of campaign activity. But that’s fine with our city councilors who want to shorten the campaign season and avoid talking issues until forced to do so. And the clueless challengers are playing right into the incumbents’ hands. That’s if there really are any challengers. Sure, dozens of individuals new to Worcester politics and unknown to city voters have pulled nomination papers. But who knows how many of these wannabes are even serious about running. The preliminary election for at-large city council is a mere three months away. Yet I haven’t seen a single lawn sign or heard a peep from any of the challengers for those six council seats. Their invisible campaigns are discouraging to voters who had hoped for some new faces, new ideas and competitive races focused on issues.

These newcomers are in need of an immediate reality check. Running for elective office in Worcester, at least for the first time, is not just a commitment - it should be an obsession. Voters expect to see and meet candidates at their front door, on the street corners, at supermarkets and summer events. If a candidate isn’t willing to put most of his life on hold for several months of campaigning, then he shouldn’t run. If his time is limited because of his job, kids or trips to the beach, then he shouldn’t run. Of course a large number

of volunteers and the ability to raise money make the campaign much easier and more effective. But it doesn’t necessarily take a huge political machine or war chest to win a council seat. What a candidate lacks in volunteers and money, he can make up for in passion, tenacity and hard work. He simply has to want the job enough. And none of the 10 councilors seeking re-election will be pushovers. While a few might be vulnerable, they all know how to run a campaign and win an election. And they also have several notable accomplishments. The council has passed a fiscal year 2012 budget that maintains most services and keeps Worcester a safe city. That was made possible by negotiating new contracts with union and nonrepresented city employees. All personnel finally will contribute 25 percent to the cost of their health insurance, which now must be purchased through the city’s unique health plans pioneered by the city manager. The long-anticipated CitySquare redevelopment project is under construction with two quality tenants, the UNUM Group and St. Vincent Hospital’s cancer center. The CSX project promises more jobs and greatly expanded commuter-rail service in and out of Worcester. Major road and infrastructure improvements are occurring throughout the city. But, if they want to get off their duffs, there are plenty of issues and questions for challengers to raise. The city’s dual tax rate is always a good one. Is the lowest residential/highest commercial tax rate really best for homeowners? Isn’t it time for the council to put in place some of the creative programs that other cities use to retain and attract businesses? And doesn’t the city already have enough affordable housing? Don’t we need to retain and attract the middle class (with their spendable income) by developing more market-rate housing, especially downtown? On these and many other issues, the silence of the challengers is deafening. They need to realize that running for Worcester City Council is not like Aesop’s fable, “The Tortoise and the Hare.” While our city councilors have the advantage in name recognition, organization and money, they are wiser than the hare. They won’t be taking a nap on the campaign trail.

The preliminary election for at-large city council is a mere three months away. Yet I haven’t seen a single lawn sign or heard a peep from any of the challengers for those six council seats.

EOPLE STREET ON T HE

Dear Editor, According to the Energy Information Administration, gas prices in the US recently approached $4 a gallon on the average but still Americans were determined to drive. Alternatively, they could more fully utilize public transportation. Relying more on public transportation instead of driving cars would provide a reduced cost of living and would probably extend people’s lifetimes, as car accidents are a significant cause of premature deaths. Increased utilization of public transportation would force users to exercise more, which in of itself would deliver myriad health benefits. Hopefully the continuing high gas prices we have experienced lately will push more Americans to take advantage of the value that exists in the public transportation system. CHAR LES L . BOVA I RD I I Worcester Dear Editor, There was a national moment of silence on Monday at 3 p.m. in honor of Memorial Day. It brought back memories of how we would spend Memorial Day back in Worcester, MA in the late1960’s. SILENCE. It speaks volumes, doesn’t it? I remember the silence of hundreds of people walking through St. John’s Cemetery on Cambridge St. every May 30th when they used to lock the gates to loud motor cars. You talked in hush voices out of respect for the fallen soldiers, sailors, WACs, WAVEs, airmen, and all that were buried there who had served. Thousands of brand new American flags, flying from shiny new black holders, stabbed into the ground at odd angles, put there by the American Legion or VFW members. Walking all the

way back through the “old” section into the “new” section over the bridge where my father was buried, at the foot of his alma mater, Holy Cross, separated by the S curves of I-290. Proud that he earned a flag, as did my Aunt Grace, a lieutenant commander in the Navy, as was her sister, Madie. Secretly hoping that when I died I would have one too. I love parades, patriotic speeches, marching bands, and the mighty Kate Smith singing, “God Bless America.” But looking out on acres of monuments and flat stones, and a sea of flags and the families on their knees praying to their God for the souls of their loved ones in SILENCE is a sight I will never forget.

CA R OL A N N G . M A R T IN Wallingford, VT Dear Editor, I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Worcester’s GLBT story on living in Worcester [Worcester Mag, June 2, 2011]. Yes, we live in a different time now, where there is more acceptance and support for us. Fortunately, we live in one of the most liberal places in the country. Something I have always enjoyed about Worcester’s Gay Pride celebrations/party is the fellowship of people. Worcester’s GLBT pride celebration held every September is an entertaining, worthwhile event. It’s encouraging to see more people attending each year. I do wish that we still had the pride parade in Worcester. I feel that the Stonewall riot (1969) paved the way for future pride parades across most of the country.

Staying at my place on the cape, golﬁng, and spending time with my grandchildren.

{ summerguide } Seasonal Essentials ... Summer, summer, summer time is the time to sit back and unwind, or so says the Fresh Prince Will Smith. Whether or not you’re planning on hanging on your front stoop, taking the Downeaster Amtrak train to Old Orchard Beach or heading to a local seasonal haunt a short drive away, Worcester Mag’s Summer Guide is your essential idea-generating guide to fun in the sun. We’ve compiled a few handy lists for you to pack in your beach bag or summer purse, and hope that they will inspire the kind of road trips, backyard field expeditions and neighborhood strolls that memories are made of.

Lankton’sAfrican newest passion Art in Clinton STEVEN KING

Philip Murphy

High Street in Clinton has always had a reputation for being somewhat artsy. While it’s certainly a commercial area, the district has numerous boutiques, art centers, and cafés as well as your typical franchises. Longtime Clinton industrialist, enthusiastic art collector, and Museum of Russian Icons founder Gordon B. Lankton has always tried to present his hometown with the fruits of his passion; residents know this very well as their town has been home to the Museum of Russian Icons since Gordon established it in 2006. It is the largest such collection in all of North America. Recently, Lankton has embarked on a new collection revolving around his present passion – African Art. When Lankton was looking for a place to house his newest collection, benefiting the local downtown area was something he hoped to accomplish as well. It’s a common goal of the local store owners, restaurateurs and community activists. While he may be too modest to tell you, helping sculpt the downtown Clinton atmosphere has always been in the forefront of Lankton’s plans, and saying he is highly regarded in the community would be an understatement. His new Gallery of African Art will be on display in the Sunrise Boutique at 62 High Street in Clinton. The location to exhibit his African wood-carving collection was found by his friend and Sunrise Boutique owner Cynthia Cannon, who suggested that he cut an opening in her shop’s wall to connect to the vacant Paper Store next door. Cannon has known Lankton for a while now. Her husband was one of the

carpenters that worked on his museum, and beyond that, they know each other through their mutual interest in the community. She described Lankton as the type of person who always makes sure to congratulate your successes, something certainly appreciated by the shop owner, who’s been there 40 odd years. Cannon’s Sunrise Boutique has often been described by her customers as “a fun place to shop.” This has since evolved into the store’s motto, and derives from the diverse collections she has on sale, which she describes as an “eclectic mix of items from all over the world, such as Nepal, India, and Africa.” You never know what to expect in the Sunrise Boutique, whether it be the line of clothing dyed with dirt and clay from Alabama, the collection of handmade shoes from Israel, or the expanse of jewelry she houses from all over the world. The Gallery of African Art is located at the back of the quirky store and through an opening in a wall. Yet, with nothing more than a bit of viral marketing thus far, visitors have found and been enchanted with the rather dense exhibition of Lankton’s private collection. Plans are now underway to give the gallery a street presence, a website and some marketing and advertising to present the venue and enhance visitation. As the gallery develops and matures, classes, special events and children’s programming will be offered. The marketing plan includes art lovers, museum-goers and the America’s African Diaspora. The gallery encompasses a diverse collection of more than 200 African tribal masks, figures, sculpture and artifacts crafted in stone, wood, clay and bronze, spanning 32 tribes, including Dogon, Baule, and Bamana art. Speaking with Cannon, she expressed how excited she is about this exhibit, hoping it will be well received so that the plans for expansion can go through. She called it “truly an honor to be able to host such a collection.” And the artistic theme fits perfectly with the mood of her entire boutique. Admission will be free through August 31, 2011. The gallery is open Mon. - Wed. and Fri., 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m.; Thu. 10 a.m.-8 p.m.; and Sat., 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m. JUNE 9, 2011 • WORCESTERMAG.COM

Internet. Don’t feel like you’re living a lie. I didn’t reveal where you come from because sometimes small towns can be very judgmental. At 14, it might not be time to make a stand, instead focus on finding things that make you happy and concentrate on them. You’ll make yourself a stronger person, then when you’re ready to ‘come out’ to your family and friends (think junior year in college), you’ll be better equipped to deal with whatever drama results. And remember, if someone loves you, they accept you no matter what. Don’t let small minds get you down. The world is a giant place filled with great people; you’ve only just begun to meet a few of them.

Get out and explore!

Dear ArchieI don’t know if you’re for real, but I’m going to give it a shot anyway—I’m pretty sure I’m gay (I’m a 14-year-old guy), and if my family and friends ever found out, it would kill them.

Yes I am real, but listen to me carefully: When we are teenagers the world feels small—our problems, worries and troubles seem gigantic. Hang in there. Trust me, high school gets better, seek out people who would make good friends and don’t judge yourself on how many friends you have—one good friend can make all the difference in the world. When I was a kid I was definitely a loner, but I took comfort in the few friendships I had. Focus on positives and stay away from negatives—and that includes the

Hours to go before I sleep a marathon reading you have to read something by Ginsberg.” Listeners can donate their time—“the more people watching, the more awake I’ll be,” says MacMillan—or their cash at the event or through the Poets’ Asylum website. The proceeds will fund the Worcester Slam Team’s bid in the 2011 National Poetry Slam coming up this August. A portion of the donations will also go to WCUW in thanks for its support. Though the front room doesn’t have couches, MacMillan encourages his audience to bring their sleeping bags. Naturally, caffeine and treats will be available on site. As MacMillan wraps up his daylong challenge, it will be back to business as usual. Appropriately, for WCUW and the Poets’ Asylum, that means the weekly poetry reading will pick up right where MacMillan leaves off. Bill MacMillan’s 24-Hour Reading will be held in WCUW’s Front Room at 7 p.m. on June 11. Visit www. poetsasylum.org for more information. WCUW, 910 Main St., Worcester.

MacMillan promises some of this will be hilariously bad— to beat poetry. “I think it’s the law,” MacMillan says, “that if you do

the Asylum at the Q Café several years back. He was surprised to see what a hit it turned out to be: some listeners even stayed through all 24 hours, curling up on the couches with blankets for reenergizing snoozes. During MacMillan’s next attempt, which will start at 7 p.m. sharp in WCUW’s Front Room, the day will be divided into hourlong themed segments, with an overall focus on performance poetry. There will be plenty of local work, as well as everything from children’s rhymes to song lyrics—

“I got started into poetry because I got thrown out of the punk band I was in,” admits MacMillan, who has been performing for 25 years. MacMillan calls his first attempts at poetry “dreadful,” but fortunately for him, he happened to be in the right place at the right time. Slam poetry was just getting started, and Worcester, a city full of literary history, was the perfect place for the new art form to flourish. “When slam and performance poetry came along, there was already a receptiveness in the city,” MacMillan says. The support systems that Worcester poets relied on were not limited just to the poetry community. “When I was coming up the mid and late ’80s… the underground bands really embraced the poets and welcomed them in. The poets were also very supportive of the underground music scene, and it was a nice marriage that continues to be.” MacMillan spent his formative years developing his own style, a mixture of punk-rock sensibilities and influences from slammers, William Burroughs and Laurie Anderson. As he became more involved with the Worcester Artists’ Group’s Open Stage—an open-mic style night of performance where “anything goes,” from interpretive dance to rock ’n’ roll—he decided to step forward to create a poetry-reading series with fellow writer Lea Deschanes. In 1990, The Poets’ Asylum was born. It was a gutsy move, but that’s what we’ve come to expect from the Woo’s natives. “Worcester doesn’t give a shit about what anyone else thinks,” MacMillan says matter-of-factly. The Asylum has been going strong for more than 20 years now, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have to fundraise—and we’re not just talking bake sales. Inspired by Scott Woods, MacMillan held his first 24-hour poetry reading to benefit

Twenty-four hours is a curious amount of time for a day, swinging recklessly between too long and not enough. Poet Bill MacMillan is one of those guys who knows how to make the most of a day. On Saturday, June 11, MacMillan will undertake an epic challenge: read poetry for 24-hours, nonstop – and you’re invited.

Nemes

Success in a well-traveled sea Joshua Lyford

Worcesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Nemes have been building an impressive following lately and for good reason: they are taking the standard pop-punk sound and adding something vital to it. The band is set to release a new album entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Flush Me.â&#x20AC;? Having released an acoustic EP, a full length titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;865â&#x20AC;? and garnering some admirable praise as of late, it may be hard to put your finger on exactly what it is that makes them stand out, but it is not difficult to see why. The four members of the band recently took the time to help

explain what it could be that makes them special in a welltraveled sea of a genre. The band consists of Dave Anthony on guitar and vocals, Chris Anthony on drums and percussion, Alex Glover on bass and Josh Knowles on violin and vocals. The violin adds an interesting dynamic that is clear upon your first listen. While they are not the first poppunk band to utilize this more typically classical instrument, it is more of an anomaly than the standard. It suits them well and they use it to their benefit. Knowles says that to detail their sound to a new listener, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We usually describe it as a mix of influences ranging from folk and blues to pop and punk.â&#x20AC;? This would be cleverly accurate as none of the individual genre traits would do them complete justice. It is clear that the members that make up Nemes got their start early. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chris and Dave are brothers so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been playing

together since they were kids. Josh met Dave in high school and we started writing acoustic-duo type songs,â&#x20AC;? explains Knowles. From there, the band has made some significant strides in its sound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really nice is that we never stay in one creative place for too long. We write songs that can most accurately mirror what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re experiencing emotionally at that point in our lives. In high school, that was playing acoustic duets about hopeless crushes or losing V cards,â&#x20AC;? Knowles goes on to say. With growing older comes the infamous heightened â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;maturityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of us have a creative openness now that we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily honed before, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constantly evolving and growing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been great to combine the energetic pop-punk sound we had on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;865â&#x20AC;&#x2122; with everything weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been learning to develop such an interesting blend of music,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Knowles indicates that what makes Nemes stand out is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the diversity that we welcome in each aspect of our band, shows, recording or songwriting. We never see ourselves as limited to any particular style or sound, but we still have an individual identity that you can hear in each song.â&#x20AC;? This individuality in each song keeps the listener coming back for more, as you never quite know what to expect. This carries over into the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s live show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Depending on the venue/type of bill, you will get a different Nemes show,â&#x20AC;? he notes. If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at a hall in the Worcester area you can expect a very high energy/ intimate rock show.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now the plan is to play as much as we possibly can in as many different places as we can this summer,â&#x20AC;? says Knowles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playing music for a living, every day and night is our goal, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get there.â&#x20AC;? It is hard to argue with this unerring sense of direction. Be sure to pick up the brand-new Nemes record, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Flush Me,â&#x20AC;? coming out Friday, June 17, at the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record-release show at the Raven.

Fast moving super fun Super 8

370 Park Ave., Worcester

Grade: B

David Wildman

It seems maybe a bit unfair to criticize a film for what it isn’t, but J.J. Abrams is not your average talent. With “Lost” he helped to reinvent the use of the flashback as a narrative structure within the usually restrictive world of serialized television. With his resuscitation of the “Star Trek” series he was able to play off long-standardized character tropes and still give new life to a dying chestnut, and his TV show “Fringe” is nothing if not uncompromisingly weird and risky. With “Super 8” he has made a Steven Spielberg film. It’s a good one, true, but the accomplishment doesn’t seem to stack up. Perhaps I’m too hard on the dude. It’s asking a lot of an artist to be innovative every time they take on a project. In the case of “Super 8” we will have to settle for a near-formalistic display of keen craftsmanship, and a tipping of the hat to the old master (who is present as producer). “Super 8” begins in late March 1979, which is made clear by having Three Mile Island reported by Walter Cronkite on the TV in the beginning, then when the story jumps to four months later showing the main characters getting out of school for the summer and singing “My Sharona.” The filmmaking is classic style from frame one: a steel mill sign announcing no accidents for a long period is reset to one day. The question of who has died is answered immediately with a funeral scene at the home of protagonist Joe (Joel Courtney) where we learn his mother was the victim. We also learn that members of the nerdy gang he hangs with are making a zombie flick. His father (Kyle Chandler) is introduced as a harried but crusading police deputy. The film is at its most interesting when we see driven filmmaker Charles

WORCESTER’S FINE WINE SHOP

(Riley Griffiths) learning to use plot in his zombie movie, convincing fetching young Alice (Elle Fanning) to be in his film, and rounding them all up for a shot at a desolate train depot, where we find out the girl can act up a storm. Then the story kicks into a higher gear with a spectacular train crash, and the whole thing captured on film. Before long the Air Force shows up and weird events begin to occur all over town, with microwaves disappearing, dogs running wild and convenience stores gutted. Along the way we get jokes about a Walkman (the police chief thinks it’s a bad idea and calls it “a slippery slope”), film developing (it’s impossible for film to be developed overnight, ha ha) and so on. Eventually, and I suppose inevitably, the monster makes its appearance, because there could be no other possible explanation for all these things happening. From then on it’s Godzilla, with the Air Force bad government guys trying to cover everything up and a little star-crossed lover’s lite thing thrown in for good measure (Lucy’s father was responsible for Joe’s mother’s death, so he is forbidden from seeing her). In the end, the silly zombie monster movie that Charles and his friends have been making is in essence no less improbable than the one that they become involved in, which is basically a retro version of “Cloverfield.” Thus my criticism of the film for what it isn’t. You would think someone of Abrams’ daring creativity and unique intellect would be able to come up with an explanation for all this other than monsters from space. As it is, the film is fast moving, fun and effective Spielbergian summer fare with likeable characters and great special effects. However, maybe next time Abrams creates a fascinating mystery like this he won’t let us off the hook so easy.

Not your average experience Kambian Lovejoy

While out with seven of my good friends on a recent Saturday-shopping excursion, it was suddenly lunchtime. Trying to find a place that will make eight people happy can be a challenge, but Not Your Average Joe’s made it easy. Located along Route 9 in Westboro, this is a place you and your buddies won’t want to miss. We were seated right away at a long series of tables near the bar area with an average atmosphere of abstract art welcoming us in. We were immediately presented with baskets of fresh chunks

The Baja Burgers, although a little messy of bread. The bread was so fresh and with the guac, were cooked just right, and delicious, complete with dipping oil and we would have ordered them again in a Parmesan cheese, that we could have heartbeat. According to the diners at our ended lunch with the bread alone. With eight of us dining, you STEVEN KING can imagine the variety of tastes. Luckily our server was patient and helpful with our questions, and very attentive. A few of us started with ahi tuna wontons ($11.50). These wontons had rare-seared sesamecrusted ahi tuna atop Japanese chili-spiced crispy wontons with a pickled ginger and wasabi aioli. These wontons had just the right amount of “kick” to make it a crowd favorite without turning anyone away, and the portion was enough to share with all who wanted to try table, the Blue Burger was “amazing,” them. and the Backyard Burger was “delicious,” Lunch consisted of two Baja Burgers cooked to perfection and topped with ($10.99 each) with guacamole, crispy American cheese and bacon. tortilla strips, pepper jack cheese, lettuce Alice had the cranberry-teriyaki chicken and tomato; a Blue Burger with blue cheese, caramelized onions, country bacon with sweet potato cannelloni ($11.99). The sweet potato cannelloni was great, but the and arugula ($10.99); and a Backyard chicken was a bit overcooked. Burger ($9.50), all served with fries – Sheri had the almond-crusted goatalthough we could have had organic cheese salad with added chicken ($11.99), mixed greens or a Caesar salad instead.

which was served warm over organic baby greens with fresh raspberries, caramelized pecans and raspberry vinaigrette. It was so good, she’s been craving it ever since. Julie had the crab-cake BLT, a pan-seared crab cake served on a brioche roll with country bacon, arugula and a spicy red-pepper aioli ($11.50). As she put it simply, it was “amazing.” And finally, Robyn had the soup and 1/2 sandwich ($9.50). Choosing the Tuscan chicken sandwich and the creamy tomato basil soup, she was far from disappointed. As if the food offerings were not enough, make sure you check out the drink menu. Among the drinks we indulged in at the table were the Dark & Stormy ($7.59), a raspberry mojito ($7.59), Joe’s jungle juice ($6.99), the refreshing and smooth ruby red ($6.99) and the frozen passion berry margarita ($6.99). Although the tab capped out around $160 for lunch for eight, which might seem on the expensive side to many, it was worth every bite. Not Your Average Joe’s has become a new favorite.

For Scotland, the late-18th and early-19th century was a time of profound and uncomfortable changes. Economic and social structures were altered dramatically as the Industrial Revolution brought factories and mechanization to Scotland’s rural world. At the same time, the Scottish Highlanders were being driven from their lands by the English conquerors, forced into the Lowlands, forbidden to practice their familiar customs. It was a difﬁcult time, often a brutal time... and yet, this was a time of great poets, the likes of Robert Burns and Robert Tannahill. And it was a time of great music. The Tannahill Weavers’ diverse repertoire reﬂects the duality of Scotland’s musical heritage. It embraces both the mystical quality of the Highlander’s Celtic music, and the rollicking, sometimes even brawling qualities of the Lowlander’s Anglo-Scots tunes. The Tannahill Weavers’ arrangements blend the beauty of the traditional melodies with the power of modern rhythms. The penetrating sound of the Highland bagpipes is a thread of ancient memory running through it all. $25 in advance. 8-10 p.m. Worcester Hibernian Cultural Centre, 19 Temple St. Call 508-792-3700 or visit tannahillweavers.com/index.htm.

Two minutes with...

Desiree Aselbekian n

It is commonly said that many folks change their career path at least twice in their lifetime. Well, Desiree Aselbekian has done just that. Taking the great leap from lawyer to adult-boutique owner, Aselbekian has put her knowledge and learned skills to the test in a setting that’s quite different than a court room. Opening “Desiree’s Desires” with her mother as co-pilot in Upton, Aselbekian offers adult-themed toys and accoutrements, plus she provides customers with free seminars to help answer any questions that they may feel too uncomfortable to ask. Aselbekian has taken her entrepreneurial desires to new heights, offering a judgment-free zone and sexual freedom for her customers. We sat down with this open and brash young woman to find out what desires lay behind her new business model. First off, tell us a bit about yourself – age, professional background, etc.? I started in politics at the local level at age 18 when elected to the Nothborough-Southborough Regional School Committee. I began interning at Worcester Probate and Family Court while in college and completed a judicial internship there during law school. I worked in the State Senate as an educational-policy director for four years while attending graduate school and law school. I also assisted specialeducation students for a year and a half while planning my future business.

Why did you decided to change careers? After interning in Probate Court, I realized quickly that I did not want to wear a suit all day and get to the court house at 8:30 a.m. It just wasn’t for me, but I felt law school would be great for a career in the political arena. Becoming a lobbyist for education was something I thought about seriously. However, Beacon Hill is fun only for awhile. The commute is daunting and the pace rigorous. I wanted a job that I loved, where I was my own boss, that was an easy commute, and that allowed time for a personal life.

WORCESTERMAG.COM • JUNE 9, 2011

What prompted you to open an adult retail boutique? During a zoning and ordinance lesson, one of my law professors mentioned if you can find a space that meets local zoning requirements, you’d have more success and more fun in the adult industry then becoming a lawyer. I always kept that in the back of my mind.

What do you believe is the main component to a thriving relationship? Communication and honesty are the two most important keys to keeping your relationship going especially when it comes to intimacy. You should be able to communicate your sexual needs and wants to your partner without fear of rejection. If you are both honest and appreciate one another then you’ll thrive and enjoy it.

Is it true that your mother is your business partner – how did that come about? After doing some research and thinking about my business options, I went to my mom and presented this opportunity to her. I knew I could not do this myself, and I wanted someone I could trust to work with me. She has the business, accounting and merchandising background; I have the

legal, analytical, gift of gab going for me.

What’s the reason behind offering free seminars? Traditionally, adult stores in Massachusetts sell the products, but don’t offer the knowledge or expertise about the products. We find many customers stare at the wall, are sometimes overwhelmed with selection, and want more information before they make a choice. It’s like anything these days; you need to make sure it’s right for you before you spend hardearned money. I am happy to explain everything one-on-one to anyone who walks through the door, but we thought why not host educational seminars, so people can get a feel of not only the products but how we do business. We want to encourage people to be honest and open with their needs, so we can help them make the best selection for their intimate needs.

What’s your outlook on divorces? This is a funny question considering I wanted to be a divorce attorney for the longest time. I think the real question is why aren’t people getting married? More couples in America are choosing to live together and not get married. Women and men are financially independent, and families include not just married couples, but domestic partners both straight and gay. A family unit is no longer the traditional stereotype, and that’s a great evolution in society.

STEVEN KING

What’s your age range/type of customers? While we certainly have plenty of singles and divorcees and a 50/50 split of men and women, a huge chunk of our customers are typically 30- to 65-year-old couples - people in relationships. They oftentimes come into the store together, or one person of the couple will sneak out while the other watches the kids. We even get couples who come to our boutique as part of date night. It’s very cute.

What do you say to someone who may be potentially embarrassed about entering your store? We totally get it. We understand the hardest part about our store for some is just getting through the door.

What’s the strangest question you’ve been asked at the boutique? Honestly, nothing is strange! That’s what people have to get over – everyone has different sexual needs and desires, and it is not our place to judge them. We welcome all people, orientations, genders, experienced, less experienced, and our job is to make you comfortable and not feel ashamed to be at our boutique. Everyone has sex, and no one should be embarrassed to enhance their sex life by visiting our store.
