inside stories

’ve written before about the plight of a friend of mine, named Fardeen, who has legally been in the United States since 2001 and despite starting his own business, speaking impeccable English and earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Clark University, he constantly struggles with immigration and visa issues. When it comes to investing in his own business, or trying to convince employers that his immigration status shouldn’t keep them from checking out his résumé, Fardeen (and I) come back to one conclusion: the country’s broken immigration system does nothing but lead to more illegal immigration. It’s something the federal government has done little about, and the moves they have made have accomplished almost nothing in limiting the number of undocumented residents living in the United States. Worcester’s no stranger to this. A few years ago the number of fraudulent marriages taking place at Worcester City Hall alarmed city, state and federal officials. Even more recently, a Shrewsbury man, residing in this country legally, was arrested for exploiting the seasonal worker visa process to get 46 Brazilians into the United States for profit – 42 of them stayed beyond their allotted time. He was found guilty of two counts in May and, last we heard, has been deported back to Brazil. In our feature story this week, we spoke to immigration lawyers, officials, advocates and even an undocumented resident to get their opinions on our system. The conclusion? All the debates and issues that government has with immigration is only the fault of government. We’ve said this before but it bears repeating: want to stop our illegal immigration problem? Then fix our legal immigration problem first.

PHISH PHOOD Phish jams at the DCU Center two nights in a row while the Blue Man Group explodes paint all over the Hanover stage on Saturday night. For a brief moment, Worcester, that was what it’s like to have an entertainment district. stART on the Street takes over Green Street all day, bringing 165 artists, 30 performers and an organizer-estimated 20,000 people to the Canal District on a sunny Sunday. Can it just stay on Green Street forever? The Massachusetts School Building Authority gives the go-ahead to move six Worcester schools into the running for significant improvements and even one brand-new building. And by “into the running,” we mean it’s pretty assured that Worcester will get the desired projects at an 80 percent reimbursement rate. A+. Worcester Business Journal announces that the Worcester Sharks saw an 8 percent attendance increase last season, with the American Hockey League seeing ticket sales rise 5 percent overall. Jose Canseco hits his first home run as a Tornado and the Worcester Hydra pull to 2-2-1 in their first season of league play. Holy Cross has 11 students earning Fulbright Scholarships to teach or study abroad for the 2012-2013 school year, including Heidi Grek, a student from Auburn who will spend next year in Germany. WOAH MAN, YOU’RE HARSHING MY BUZZ Two arrested in drug raid on Stanton Street that netted police 37 marijuana plants, bags of marijuana, oxycodone pills and an unlicensed handgun. Police also arrest three for breaking and entering into a Lovell Street home after they take their bag of stolen goods to Wendy’s because, as we’ve said before, criminals in Worcester seem to be getting dumber. Red Sox swept by the Nationals (remember the days when the Nationals were a perennially bad team?) and the Celtics lose to the Heat in game 7 of the Eastern Conference Championship. At least C’s fans can still feel good about rooting for the Oklahoma City Thunder in the finals: former Celtic (and member of the 2008 championship team) Kendrick Perkins is their center. Worcester observes the 59th anniversary of the devastating 1953 tornado that killed 94 and damaged a large chunk of the city.

Grant for Workforce Training announced

Kevin Koczwara

O

n June 5, the Patrick-Murray administration announced $2.1 million in Workforce Training Fund grants to 28 companies in Massachusetts. One of the groups getting some of the grant money was the Central Massachusetts Workforce Investment Board in Worcester, which received $103,675 on behalf of five companies located in southern Worcester County.

According to Nancy Snyder, president of the Commonwealth Corporation, part of the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development, Workforce Training Fund grants are part of a program set up in the 1990s to help employers train their incumbent workforce to address competitive needs. The program is financed by employers through a surcharge in unemployment payments and raises $18 million to $21 million a year for various grants. The program has a rolling application process for companies to apply through. The Workforce Investment Board worked with a group of five manufacturing businesses in southern Worcester County to apply for one of those grants and received approval earlier this month. The program being funded will help train 115 employees, and 12 new jobs are expected to be created after training. According to Jeffrey Turgeon, executive director of Central Massachusetts Workforce Investment Board, the type of training that the companies wanted for their employees

would be too expensive if they did it on their own; by working together they are able to partner and use the grant money awarded to the group to pay for lean manufacturing training. “Each employer may only have a few employees in need of training on lean management, managing a lean manufacturing facility, and bringing in a trainer for two people isn’t really cost effective,” Turgeon points out. “But if you have a consortium of five who need that, then you have costs run much more efficiently – you’ve got one trainer working with 10 people instead of two.” This grant process is being used as a sort of trial run for future grant and training opportunities by the Workforce Investment Board, which works to connect employers with stakeholders in workforce development areas like education, economic development officials, state agencies, and community groups. The agency hopes to be able to use this as a model on which to base other grant applications and future

City gets go-ahead on cost coverage for a new Nelson Place, repairs at five other schools Jeremy Shulkin

he ceiling is crumbling so badly that nets have been stretched across it and parts of the foundation are held up by hydraulics. It sounds like the symptoms of a condemned building, but Nelson Place’s 500 students continue to show up for their kindergarten through 6th grade classes every day under these conditions. So there was some relief – though not much surprise – when the Massachusetts School Building Authority’s board, a branch of the state treasurer’s office, voted last Wednesday to invite Nelson Place into the agency’s Eligibility Period for the construction of a brand new school, with 80 percent of the costs covered by the state. “I think it’s great,” says Worcester School Committee member John Monfredo. “Terrific news for the kids.” He, like other public officials such as Mayor Joe Petty and select members of the

STEVEN KING

city council note that Nelson Place is an important school for keeping middle class, west side families in the Worcester Public School district in a time where city leaders are starting to wonder if the condition of local schools are causing parents to enroll students in charter schools, private schools or out of the district. Monfredo says the conditions at Nelson Place were enough to drive parents away, saying that people have told him, “I just can’t go to that school.” “We want to make sure that we honor the promise we have made to the students, teachers and people of this city to deliver the best possible educational environment for the 21st century,” Treasurer Steve Grossman said in a statement. Grossman took a tour of the school last year to see the conditions first-hand. “Today we bring that goal much closer to fruition.” According to Massachusetts School Building Authority spokesman Dan continued on page 7

training projects that bring multiple employers together. “This is an opportunity to offer training that is more efficient with state dollars. These are funds that employers pay into and this will allow smaller businesses to come together,” notes Turgeon. “We’re looking to use this as a kind of pilot to see about potentially bringing together employers in other industries and other locations based on this model.”

According to the Patrick-Murray administration, this round of Workforce Training Fund grants will create more than 200 new jobs and train close to 3,000 workers in the state. The money for the grants is in the 2012 budget as a trust fund, which means the money can be dispersed by businesses as needed instead of on an annual cycle.

Collins, Worcester now has 270 days to submit papers showing this project has a reasonable chance of going forward, and r creating a project team and feasibility t study (again, with the state picking up 80 percent of the tab). d Other Worcester schools—Chandler Magnet, Jacob Hiatt Magnet, Lake View, May Street and the Dr. James A. Caradonio New Citizens Center—will all see significant roof, window and boiler

upgrades after the building authority voted those into the agency’s Accelerated Repair Program. While a new Nelson Place school steals the spotlight, Monfredo calls these repairs “most significant.” “It shows we as a city take pride in our schools.” The largest question now, since there’s little reason to believe Nelson Place won’t see a replacement within the next five years, is where this school will be and what students there will do in the

meantime. Depending on the site of the new school, especially if the current Nelson Place parcel is slated for the future Nelson Place School, the district may have to look at other options for the school’s students. The school committee is expected to begin talking about the next steps at the June 19 meeting. “Obviously, we really need to start pushing forward on this,” Monfredo adds. Since the Massachusetts School Building Authority was created, the

agency has paid out $8.7 billion in reimbursements for school construction in Massachusetts, saving localities $2.9 billion. Worcester’s recently completed North High School also received 90 percent of its funding from a previous incarnation of the Massachusetts School Building Authority.

PALLADIUM LOVE: Last week Worcester Mag reported that Palladium building owner John Fischer was so incensed at his assessment increase that he was threatening to tear down the building because of the skyrocketing property taxes. (The building’s city-assessed value jumped from $689,000 in 2011 to $2.27 million this year.) The story spread around the Internet, with help from a link from the Boston Phoenix, spurring a Change.org petition and rallying cries asking for metal fans to contact City Manager Michael O’Brien and ask him not to tear down the one of the region’s few all-ages metal and hardcore music venues. (Good intentions, but O’Brien has little to do with any potential demolition.) Instead, cooler heads have prevailed. “Despite the rumors of the Palladium’s closing we have no plans to close our doors any time soon. We plan to continue to bring great music to Worcester,� said general manager Chris Besaw of MassConcerts, which exclusively books the Palladium. “We were very touched by the reaction to the story.� But business is business, and those additional taxes will have to come from somewhere. “Our bottom line will be effected, but we’ll continue to do business,� Besaw added.

SIGN FOR THIS, PLEASE: Last week, incumbent 14th District State Representative Jim O’Day (D-West Boylston) and his Republican challenger Bill McCarthy were notiďŹ ed by Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin’s ofďŹ ce that a hearing in front of the state ballot law commission was slated for last Monday challenging the number of signatures independent candidate (and best name in 2012 Worcester politics) Winthrop Handy submitted for a spot on the November ballot. The challenge, ďŹ led by Worcester resident Paul Coffey, Jr., scrutinized three of Handy’s 152 signatures he turned in, was litigated by Georgetown attorney Steven Epstein and featured testimony from a handwriting expert. Handy says the three signatures in question are legit but that losing them would erase him from appearing on the ballot. If that ends up being the case, however, Handy says he’d run as a write-in candidate. “One hundred sixty-four people want me to run for ofďŹ ce,â€? he said last week, noting that he gathered more signatures but one of his sheets wasn’t accepted by the West Boylston town clerk because it was missing his party afďŹ liation. Handy, despite running for election to the West Boylston Municipal Light Board (he’s been a member for 15 years), says he’s a political rookie when it comes to larger races, and called the ballot challenge “just another part of the experience.â€? ‌ A number of people watching this race closely believe underlying political motives led to the challenge, though no one’s quite sure what to make of them yet. Both McCarthy and O’Day deny working in concert with Coffey, Jr., who hasn’t returned Worcester Mag phone calls.

While this summer WoMag’s taking a break from the social event, WCRN will plug away as Randy Feldman (who’s all over our feature story this week) sets up debates on the legalization of medical marijuana, the Equal Pay for Women Act and whether or not U.S. colleges should eliminate Black studies courses with Naomi Schaefer Riley, a former Wall Street Journal editor who was recently ďŹ red from blogging for the Chronicle of Higher Education when she called those courses “a left-wing victimization claptrapâ€? and criticized them for not discussing social plagues among Black communities like high incarceration rates and out-of-wedlock births. Other “well-known surprise guests are expected,â€? Feldman says. Tune in to 830 AM on June 16 at 7 p.m.

hen it comes to reporting, sometimes it’s what left out that matters more than what’s included. Sunday morning, the papers landed with a thud, and the front page of the T&G offered up a story by Shaun Sutner regarding the accountability of teachers titled “Getting Schooled.” Apparently this is the topic du jour, which baffles me. Union busters are working hard to convince the general public that teachers have been coasting along unchecked, with job protection guaranteed for even the worst among us. It’s a fallacy, pure and simple. Teachers are evaluated, critiqued and coached endlessly, with impromptu walk-throughs and formal assessments that pinpoint areas that require improvement. To suggest otherwise is not only unfair, but calculated and dishonest. The article focused on the transfer process and addressed the “new” mandate that requires teachers to be interviewed by the principals of the schools they desire to join. I’ve worked in many of the city’s schools, and I can attest to the fact that principals regularly interview prospective faculty members. For every bid I’ve placed, I’ve interviewed. What bothered me about the article was the chart that accompanied the text — a pie graph that illustrated the result of a poll asking several questions of principals regarding seniority, “bumping” and professional status. While the results of the poll were of interest, what caught my eye was the fine print beneath the chart. The source? “Stand For Children 2011 end of year report.” Stand For Children is nothing more than a gang of puppets doing the grimy work of the Broad Foundation, the omnipotent group intent on decimating public education. Stand For Children has mysteriously morphed from its humble grass-roots beginnings into a money-drenched powerhouse. As the true nature of the Broad Foundation’s intent gradually becomes clear, the foundation has cleverly cloaked itself in the guise of a smaller, less threatening organization with a happy, wholesome

name. Any poll taken by the Stand For Children promises to be skewed to paint public school teachers in a bad light; I find it hard to believe that 72 percent of principals leading schools with a faculty of 40 or more claim that “a teacher with Professional Teacher Status is working in their school who delivers poor instruction to students.” The intent of Broad and its pod people is to privatize education. To that end, they work tirelessly to weaken teacher unions and portray educators as slackers who feed at the public trough. The general public, already disgruntled and looking for scapegoats on which to pin their woes, is vulnerable to this assault. Meanwhile, as more and more testing is jammed down the throats of our students, the only benefactors of this onslaught are the makers of testing materials. Somehow, teachers have become targets. We are being held accountable not for our job performance, but for all of the problems that plague society. The new evaluation system created by the District Management Council has a component that many teachers find dubious — “Family and Community Engagement.” All teachers strive to reach out to the families of their students. Will the evaluation of this standard include the many times we call the phone number provided by students, only to be told it’s been disconnected? Will it take into account the “Know Your School Night” when the parents or guardians of nine students out of 97 bother to visit their child’s school? Will the disruptions of mobility be factored into this evaluation? Will it reflect the fact that some teachers stay after school for at least 90 minutes every day in an effort to be available to students for extra help — students who don’t bother to show up for that help ? Not likely. Stand For Children would like everyone to ignore these truths. Instead, Stand For Children wants teachers to become numbers, like factory workers on an assembly line, easily replaced with other drones should productivity suffer. This faux organization is Broad, incognito, and needs to be exposed as such. It’s a sham — and it’s a shame.

Visa for sale RECENT IMMIGRATION SCHEMES REVEAL FLAWS IN THE SYSTEM Jeremy Shulkin

WORCESTERMAG.COM

• JUNE 12, 2012

{ coverstory } Somewhere in Brazil in 2006 or 2007, Sandra Ferreira called a phone number given to her by a friend. Some time later she received a fax of officiallooking paperwork along with a note with the time and place of an upcoming interview at the United States Embassy.

Marcio Freitas, a Brazilian immigrant living in Shrewsbury at the time with permanent residency, sent her the papers and also coached her on what to do and say when she got there: You’re going to Massachusetts to work for a Northboro landscaping company because they hire women to plant and grow their flowers. Bring your daughter’s birth certificate. On July 17, 2007, Ferreira received a temporary worker visa, called an H-2B, which permitted her to stay in the United States until December 15, 2007. On July 28, 2007, she, Freitas and her friend who initially put them both in contact with one another travelled together on a plane from Brazil to the United States. For his work, Freitas made $11,000, $2,000 from Ferreira and the remainder split by three of her friends on her behalf. In March 2011, federal agents arrested Ferreira at her Northshore home, more than three years after the expiration date of her temporary visa that legally allowed her to be in the United States. According to the May 2007 state department affidavit charging Freitas with visa fraud, it’s unclear whether Ferreira knew her limitations. “Sandra Ferreira also stated that [Freitas] told her that she could not work at the landscaping company and that he said nothing to her about leaving the

United States when the visa expired,” the Diplomatic Security Service special agent Douglas Baldwin wrote in the affidavit. According to a database search, Ferreira never received wages from the company, Hester Landscape, which her visa cleared her to work for. This was not an isolated incident; the federal government claims that Freitas made similar pay-for-visa agreements with anywhere between six and 24 nonU.S. citizens, though records indicate the state department believes those numbers should be higher. Freitas, through Hester Landscape, was able to arrange for 94 applicants to be interviewed. All together, 46 individuals took H-2B visas between February 2005 and April 2007. Fortytwo of them remain in the United States well beyond their time allotted, and 34 of them never reported wages from Hester Landscape. Richard Hester, owner of Hester Landscape, told agents in October 2010 that he fired Freitas because of a side job that kept him from showing up for work. “Freitas or the [Freitas-recommended] attorney told Hester that it was common practice for employers to petition for more workers than needed. Hester claimed that he did not know what happened with the extra people listed on the visa petitions or if they obtained entry into the country.

Hester claimed that he hired every H-2B worker that arrived at Hester Landscape,” the affidavit reads. The phone number listed for Hester Landscape now belongs to a different company that does not employ him. When reached for comment, Hester hung up on a reporter’s phone call. Numbers listed in the affidavit for Freitas and Freitas’ wife’s cleaning company both have been disconnected. A reverse information call for his Shrewsbury address yielded no public phone number. Freitas was arrested May 27, 2011. In April, he agreed to a plea agreement that found him guilty of two counts of encouraging/inducing an illegal alien and was sentenced to 366 days in prison and three years of supervised release, however, he was warned that this case may impact his permanent residency status. Freitas’ was released on time served, but his lawyer, Kevin Leeper, believes he’s no longer in the country. “If Defendant is convicted of the offense charged, it would almost certainly affect his legal status and there is a substantial likelihood of deportation following any period of incarceration,” U.S. Judge Timothy Hillman wrote in June 2011. A footnote indicates that Leeper argued that even if Freitas was acquitted

other. “It became something we couldn’t avoid hearing,” Rushford says. “It was in our face.” In 2009, Rushford and other city hall officials were approached by the Massachusetts attorney general, Massachusetts State Police and federal authorities for more information on these suspected marriages, taking files and asking to put up a hidden camera.

final request never materialized after the city’s law department, in an effort to remove liability on Worcester’s part, noted that they would need a warrant for that.) Rushford says fraudulent marriage evidence at city hall has “subsided almost entirely, as far as we can tell. The individuals whom we saw repeatedly … we haven’t seen those people in a couple of years.” Though he’s unsure whatever happened with the investigation. Attempts to follow up have been stonewalled. Though according to local immigration lawyer Randy Feldman, around that time period – 2006 to 2008 – Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) put a tremendous amount of area Ghanaian marriages under review or denied marriages as fraudulent sending those immigrants into deportation proceedings. Feldman’s now tasked with defending many of them. Some, he says, did enter fraudulent marriages but have since found real ones. Others were inappropriately marked. “Some people had a real marriage and it fell apart, but it was a real marriage.” Leeper and Feldman agree that marriage fraud is generally the most common way

to obtain a visa, with worker visas like the H-2B another, but less frequent, method. “Most people wouldn’t have the sophistication that [Freitas] would have,” Feldman says, so marriage fraud, which in Worcester cost about half as much as Freitas’ scheme, becomes the next option. “I don’t know that you can necessarily say one visa is more ripe for fraud than another,” offers Todd Ziccarelli, special agent in charge of the Boston Diplomatic Security Service office, the security and law enforcement arm of the U.S. Department of State that investigates visa and passport fraud and is tasked with protecting diplomats and consulates in more than 280 embassies worldwide. Ziccarelli also adds they don’t keep stats for individual regions, and so he couldn’t say what kind of fraud is most prevalent in central Massachusetts or Worcester, or even where Worcester ranks in terms of fraudulent visas used. Not so surprisingly, though, fraud is most prevalent in larger cities. “Simply, it’s just a function of a lot of people.”

His “papers” consist of a fake social-security card, which he says is pretty easy to get in New York. At a glance, it looks legit, but any run of the numbers on it reveals that it’s forged. Still, it’s a necessity. “I have to work but in order to work I have to have fake documents,” he says. Many people – Eduardo’s close friends, his boss who’s tried to promote him – know about his status. So far, with the help of kind immigration lawyers, an understanding boss and some knowledge about what to say to police officers the few times he’s been pulled over, he’s able to carry on here in the United States. He’s been asked about marriages for a green card – pushed to do it even – but he’s begged off each time, citing the risk factor and, most importantly, his moral code. “It’s obviously crossed my mind,” he elaborates. “There have been instances where I’ve had to give up really good opportunities,” which includes academic scholarships for school or job promotions to ranks where he knew his employer would run his name through e-verify. “It kills me to give up on opportunities, but I’m used to it by now.” “Sometimes it works out but you’re also taking a big risk,” he says about finding a bride for a visa. “It’s risky for both; it’s not safe. One gets deported; one goes to jail.” Also important to note, it would put the rest of his family at risk. And, it opens the immigrant up to being taken advantage of. After all, which is more dangerous: being squeezed for more money than was agreed to when the marriage certificate was signed or having your “spouse” put your immigration status in jeopardy?

of culture,� Leeper says. All because the immigration process has stayed limited, choosing to allow people in based on niches and fixed amounts of time rather than what skills are in demand. “We hear a lot about the 12 million undocumented workers people say are taking all the jobs, but that’s not true,� Leeper says. Feldman also argues that there are jobs that Americans simply don’t want, and so companies turn to the H-2B visa. But that’s not an easy process. It’s time consuming, requires a lot of coordination with the federal government to prove that Americans aren’t applying for the jobs a company seeks foreign workers for and – here’s why Freitas’ scheme worked so well – the company has to have a list of names of people from other countries they would hire and provide that to whatever embassy will host interviews. That’s why so many people of the same ethnicity often have similar jobs in close proximity to one another; and it’s a good chance that many knew each other, are related to each other, or are once-removed from each other from whatever country they came from. “I would suggest that most of the people who come here are workers who

His mom, until recently under threat of her company using e-verify, worked two jobs.

The mission, as Leeper puts it, is “tighten the border, put more security checks in and do something about the ones already here.� Feldman finds similar steps, saying that for the most part people agree it’s too easy to find work without papers and that the border is too porous. The disagreement comes when debates turn to what to do about the estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants already in the country. “There’s nothing wrong with removal of criminal aliens,� says Leeper, who says when he first started practicing immigration law he “leaned to the right.�

Eventually, he realized the issue came down to those who are here illegally yet “law abiding,� for all intents and purposes. (Ziccarelli, from the state department, insists that visa fraud is a “gateway� to further criminal activity. “We’ve got a number of cases right here in the Boston region that would fit that profile.�) Changing the system requires a manypronged approach. When it comes to immigration, whether legal or illegal, there’s a family side, a worker side and a political or asylum side, says Bob Sakaniwa, the associate director of advocacy at the Washington, D.C.based American Immigration Lawyers Association. For those looking for change, there are other agreements. “There’s bipartisan agreement that we should provide a better way for U.S. businesses to retain those students,� Sakaniwa says of foreign college students graduating with Science, Technology and Math degrees usually here on H-1B visas. But the H-2B, the temporary worker visa for lower-skill workers that Freitas peddled, plays a significant part in any reform. “The H-2B is functionally the only way to bring a worker over on this skill set,� Sakaniwa says. “That lower-skill sector needs to be addressed in a more broad and flexible way than the H-2B works.� Feldman argues that H-2Bs should be allowed for repeat bidding and extended to three or four years at a time, and if the job is proven to be one Americans have an aversion to, there should be a track that leads frequent users to a green card. That’s not just some isolated idea of Feldman’s. Sakaniwa says it’s a widely accepted piece of immigration reform. The problem? “It would require a whole new visa essentially.� Even that’s not politically okayed: labor unions and business owners also have a chasm to close before agreeing on

something like this. “Right now they’re pretty far apart,� says Sakaniwa. The system is so broken there’s not really one place to start – and there is no significant movement expected on immigration reform at the federal level until after the presidential race shakes out. “The problem is no piece of this immigration puzzle can get ahead of these other pieces,� Sakaniwa laments, noting that so many politicians and advocates have specific immigration-related issues. “You have all these other interests that will need to have those issues addressed.� Until then, don’t expect much, and that’s been the trend. Both the last Bush administration, and recently the Obama administration have tried to tweak some of the rules and regulations, but everyone in the immigration law business contacted for this story had little praise. “They’ve chipped away at the edges but any fix to this broken system has been missing for 20 years,� Sakaniwa says. “Right now there’s not much hope in Congress.� But the longer any reforms are put off, the harder the system is to fix. As the country’s inflexible (“rigid,� as both Leeper and Sakaniwa describe them) immigration laws remain unchanged, the more immigrants are subtly encouraged to operate outside of them. Locally, with the going rate for a U.S. visa somewhere between $5,000 and $11,000 through marriage or from a referral from a friend already here, for many it’s a risk worth taking.

today’s fast paced society, people are becoming less and less in touch with nature,” laments Virginia Orlando, and she should know: you might consider her an expert on human-plant relations. Along with business partner and fellow green-thumbed artist Candace Atchue, Orlando runs Seed to Stem, a charming botanicals shop that will soon call Worcester its home. “[At Seed to Stem,] we feel that by bringing nature into the home and office, people can reconnect with nature and further connect with their own roots.” Orlando and Atchue’s roots are in gardens, art and fashion.

“In

“I grew up in my mother’s flower shop in Westborough,” Orlando says. “My favorite place to be was in the small greenhouse attached to the shop and playing with the plethora of fresh-cut flowers. I was blessed to have complete creative freedom as a child in that flower shop, and to have nature and the arts be so prominent in my childhood.” “I love working with botanicals, and doing art, so [Seed to Stem] really combines both of my passions,” Atchue, of Grafton, says. The two met about 10 years ago and have been creating together ever since. In 2011, the two joined forces to create Seed to Stem, setting up shop in Sterling, Mass. But what brings the pair to Worcester? It starts with, well, stART. Orlando and Atchue first brought their artisan floral designs and terrariums to stART on the Street last spring, and it was a truly inspirational and formative experience for Seed to Stem. “It was actually the jumping off point of our business. We saw people’s reactions to our work, and the way we display our pieces, and quickly realized we were on to something,” Orlando says. One look at the floral arrangements these artists are offering, and you’ll find yourself falling head-over-heels: displayed in elegant glass, eye-catching artisanal containers and other objects are all colors, textures and varieties of flora. The pieces are modern and whimsical, perfect for adding a little life to your home. According to Orlando, “Seed to Stem specializes in creating container gardens, designer terrariums, and fresh floral design for weddings and events,” but flowers aren’t the only items of interest at Seed to Stem. It’s a bit of a naturalist’s curiosity shop, offering odds and ends like skulls, seashells and crystals as well. The pair sees Worcester as the perfect location for Seed to Stem due to Worcester’s tendency to roll out the red carpet for the arts, as well as its changing landscape, with more “natural areas and upscale landscaping.” It’s getting more beautiful by the day. “We see Worcester become more of a walking city, where people can come for the day to shop, eat and drink,” Orlando says. “We’re thrilled to be coming to the city.” Orlando and Atchue have more dreams for the future than any of their terrariums could possibly contain, including expanding the shop to be even more of a “lifestyle store for the creative soul,” becoming involved with “greening” efforts in Worcester, transforming their new space into a “destination shop for the Metro-West area” and educating local children and adults about nature. Seed to Stem has already enjoyed some success with their workshops in terrariums and container gardens for children and adults. “Building terrariums is great for children’s dexterity, patience, knowledge of plants and, of course, a great creative outlet,” Atchue says. “Adults enjoy planning and creating a terrarium for a certain room, or for their office, and like knowing that they are hard to kill!” (Score one for nature-lovers with brown thumbs). More than anything, Orlando and Atchue hope that with their new Worcester home, they can start creating a home away from home—and away from the everyday hustle and bustle—for the community. “We want shoppers to come sit on the couch, read a book, play the piano, pose with Rufus (our taxidermy bear) and, of course, bring a bit of nature and style home with them,” Orlando says. Seed to Stem’s grand opening is planned for June 16 from 3-8 p.m. at their brand new 174 Shrewsbury St. digs. Stop by to check out some truly gorgeous wares, enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres and meet your very cool new neighbors. For more information, visit seedtostembotanicals.net. WORCESTERMAG.COM

The 1960s were certainly a time for change — the assassination of powerful leaders (President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr.), the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War. While much of the decade depicted a country in turmoil, socially Americans were changing for the better. Instead of simply accepting what is, people began to question the world around them. With this transformation, the city of Worcester was not left behind. In fact, historians in the city believe that the 1960s shaped the Worcester we know and love today. With such prominence in history, the Worcester Historical Museum has selected the progressive decade of the 1960s to be depicted in their 2013 exhibit, “Worcester in the 1960s” and will include oral history from those who knew the time best — Worcesterites who witnessed the change themselves. Though many younger folks in the city may be unaware, major aspects of Worcester were developed in the metamorphosis decade of the 1960s. Entire neighborhoods were destroyed to put in the routinely traveled I-290 and the College of Holy Cross became an integrated place of higher education. As social media consultant for the Worcester Historical Museum, Chad Sirois puts it, “There is nothing that happened in the ’60s that hasn’t had an impact on Worcester as a city and community today.” In an effort to enliven Worcester and attract those desiring a stronger feeling of suburbia, urban life shifted in the 1960s. “Downtown Worcester was radically changed in the late ’60s in the hopes of revitalizing Worcester’s core through the Worcester Center project, which replaced pedestrian streets with a massive shopping complex in the hopes of attracting the people fleeing the city for the suburbs.” With this conversion from public transportation to personal transportation,

parking lots sprouted up. Today, Worcester is in the process of fixing the now dead dreams of the ’60s as attempts are being made with the CitySquare project to reconnect downtown Worcester with Washington Square and establish the old street grid. Also contributing to Worcester today, particularly in geographic and cultural terms, the 1960s caused the displacement of Worcester’s African American

themselves settling into Worcester and the histories from the Jewish community, show us that history is beyond dates and facts but is rich with first-hand stories. “Most history today is taught through textbooks. It is the historian’s and author’s interpretation, through research, of an event. Oral history captures the experiences of those who lived through the event. It captures the emotion,” explains Christensen. STEVEN KING

Frank Kartheiser, lead organizer for Worcester Interfaith, tells his story of a time at Holy Cross in the 60s to head librarian Robyn Christensen.

community when the Laurel Clayton neighborhood was destroyed and replaced with a public housing development, Plumley Village. This, too, is another change that strongly impacted those residing in Worcester. With so many events occurring in the 1960s, it seemed to only make sense to include oral history. “So much happened during this decade to so many different types of people that it is imperative that these stories are told and recorded. Everyone experienced the ’60s in a different way, and each story is important,” explains Sirois. Robyn Christensen, librarian of the Worcester Historical Museum, has taken on the tremendous task of conducting the oral histories with the organization’s WorcesterTalks program. The oral histories, which include stories of WWII veterans, reactions to the tornado in 1953, the tales of how Vietnamese immigrants found

Though the oral history piece is such a key piece in the 2013 exhibit, Christensen found that her oral historians were not always forthright when it came to sharing. In fact, she faced a challenge in convincing people that their stories were important. “I frequently get the interviewee who insists they have nothing to say and that their story is not interesting. A few questions and an hour later, they walk out of the interview realizing the opposite is true,” said Christensen, adding it was a rewarding experience and gratifying feeling to preserve a story for future generations. To take a trip to the past, be sure to experience “Worcester in the 1960s” coming to the Worcester Historical Museum in 2013.

permit process, as well as support from the city managers office behind them, the permits were secured and the dates were reserved with the parks department. The third and fourth Thursdays of June, July and August are reserved, with the fourth Thursday acting as a rain date if needed. Last year, both the June and July dates went through as scheduled, but the weather had other plans for the August movie, which had to be moved to the following week. From behind city hall, Image Production Services bring a trailer that is transformed into a stage, with surrounding structures to mount lights and audio equipment upon. The opening musical acts perform on the stage beginning at 5 p.m. and afterwards the stage is used to balance a large screen. The film is then projected onto the screen from behind. The movie begins at dusk. Last year’s films included “Back to the Future,” “Grease,” and “Spaceballs.” This year’s vendors are still in the process of being solidified, but last year Theatre Café and Sweet Sister Ice Cream were on hand with dinner and snack options, both of which Kuczarski is hoping to see again this year. Last year, roughly 500 people enjoyed the music, vendors and feature-length film each month on the common and this year the organizers are hoping that number grows. The event, whose main presenting sponsor is Hanover Insurance, has received a lot of positive support from many of the area businesses but especially from Hanover. “They are the ones last year that turned it from an idea into a reality and they were on board this winter, and they’ve been a huge supporter.” explains Kuczarski. Some of the musical acts performing before the movies will include The Luxury, James Keyes, Big Eyed Rabbit and Airport with more to be announced in the coming weeks. The movies being shown will be “Raiders of the Lost Ark” on June 21, “Jaws” on July 19, and “The Princess Bride” on August 16. So mark your calendars and bring your blankets and chairs down to the Worcester Common for the seconannual Movies on the Common and don’t forget to check their website worcesterfilmworks.org for continuing up-to-date information.

Rock bottom filmmaking Rock of Ages Grade: F David Wildman

At the opening of this film an innocent wholesome young thing gets on the bus going to the big city. She takes out a letter from home, reads it, and begins to sing. Then the bus driver joins in, and before you know it the entire bus is singing. This is a standard trope of the musical theater genre, where random strangers inexplicably launch into songs no one’s ever heard, and break out into synchronized dance routines. The song they are all singing is “Sister Christian.” By freaking Night Ranger. There is supposed to be something poignant and uplifting about this. The only thing that will be uplifted is the contents of your stomach. Welcome to out-of-context theater, a genre that was spawned by the likes of “Mama Mia,” where some fan of ABBA thought it would be a hoot to try to connect all of that band’s oeuvre into a complete musical. It was a cute idea and Broadway was bored, so it became a hit. Good for them, but it unfortunately paved the way for imitators to apply the same formula to far less worthy music. And so we are saddled with the film “Rock of Ages,” where the worst clichés of the Broadway musical will be painfully, self-consciously and ineptly mixed with some really bad 1980’s corporate pop rock fare that is best left unremembered. It’s a place where blind nostalgia trumps reason, where original thought is not just a liability; it is anathema, and where bad taste and mediocrity are embraced with near religious furor. You will notice that I’m attacking first the very idea of this film, rather than picking apart the embarrassing performances, horrific writing and inept direction, which all exist in spades. We will get there. By the time the 80’s hit, rock had evolved from its wild and creative

beginning as Rock n’ Roll, through hundreds of hybrids then blew up to the stadium size that inevitably brought to prominence least common denominator dumbness by behemoths like Foreigner in the 70’s and finally repackaged by MTV as a cynical slogan for instant access to the masses in the 80’s. And so a band like Jefferson Airplane, who once had mysterious, interesting hits like “White Rabbit” were by then going under the name Jefferson Starship and putting out utter nonsensical fake anthemic crap like “We Built This City.” This is the territory “Rock of Ages” has chosen to stake out. Sure Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” is a great song, in the sense that the melody is timeless and the hook’s indelible, but look closely at the lyrics and standard boy meets girl rock clichés, fun to sing, but nothing to build an entire show on. And yet that’s what we have, a ridiculous, nonsense story mired in the stupidity and utter vapidity of its source material. Wasted is an amazing cast that features Tom Cruise as an insane rock star, Paul Giamatti as his corrupt manager, Alec Baldwin sporting an unbelievable wig as the owner of an LA club, Russell Brand as the wisecracking sidekick he eventually inexplicably goes gay for, and Catherine Zeta-Jones as the mayor’s iron-fisted wife trying to shut down the club. The screenplay was written by Justin Theroux, who is actually a highly competent talent responsible for both “Iron Man 2” and “Tropic Thunder.” Go figure. Hack writer Allan Loeb is also involved (“21,” “Just Go With It”). The biggest victim is Chris D’Arienzo, whose original Broadway version of this story apparently was clever and playful, tongue in cheek, had the good sense to make fun of the music and itself, took time to develop the characters, frequently broke the fourth wall and had a much more interesting ending where the Tom Cruise rocker goes to jail for rape, instead of just becoming a bigger star. That’s something I might have enjoyed watching.

SERVICE ★★★1/2 VALUE ★★★★

26 West Boylston St., West Boylston • 508-835-3255

Plentiful menu for all tastes Kendra Lapin

Dagwoods is one of those great casual restaurants that marries the feel of a pizza joint, a pub, and classic American food. It’s a BYOB establishment where people — families, friends, teams — go to hang out while eating. Fortunately, for those who frequent Dagwoods, the eating is just as pleasurable as any company they might bring. The first thing that struck Katie and I was the abundance of menus: on tables, on the counter, as flyers, as folders, and on the chalkboard. It’s an odd thing to notice, but it made it easy for people to

24

linger and decide what they really wanted while being out of the way for those who would come in knowing their order. The staff behind the counter was patient in waiting or making suggestions. The menu also seems to have this magical ability to display more options than any doublesided 8.5-by-11 sheet of paper ought to. Included were a variety of subs, wraps, and sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, entrées like fish and chips and chicken teriyaki, salad meals and even $5 meal deals. After long consideration, Katie went with the recommended chicken teriyaki salad and a cup of clam chowder while I ordered the Zumba — a veggie wrap. Despite our original healthful choices, we also broke down and indulged in an order of fries and the parmesan-crusted chicken wings. When the food arrived, it would not all properly fit on the table—that’s how big the portions were. We ended up taking home just about a full meal’s worth of (still yummy!) food for each of us.

The clam chowder was good, though I found the clams a little on the gritty side. However, the soup, itself, was smooth and sweet—and there were a lot of clams, potatoes and vegetables. Butter STEVEN KING

was drizzled on top, along with a dash of paprika, which added a rich touch. Katie’s chicken teriyaki salad included sautéed, marinated chicken and pineapple. The chicken was tender and flavorful, while the veggies — including peppers, onions, cucumbers and tomatoes in addition to

lots of lettuce — were crisp and fresh: a strong salad entrée. Organic sesame dressing was an added bonus! My Zumba wrap met the same high bar of plentiful, varied and fresh vegetables. The Havarti dill cheese was a nice touch to the usual condiments of hummus and tabouli, and made the wrap stand out from other similar vegetable wraps. The two less healthy options, however, were our favorites. The hand-cut French fries were the perfect balance of crisp outside, tender inside with a lot of potato flavor brought out by just enough salt and seasoning. Lastly and best were the chicken wings, which had an unusual cornbread and parmesan herbed crust. Like any good wings, they had a crunchy coating surrounding perfectly moist, meltin-your mouth meat, but the flavor of the crust was unlike any other we’d had before and it was decidedly addictive. For the table full of food and two drinks, the total bill was $40.01, which was a good price for the amount and quality of the food, so we’ll definitely be going back. If you haven’t made it out to West Boylston for Dagwoods, you should definitely check them out.

An adorable indie-bistro style café for pizza, deli items and baked goods, Sweet Basil Jane’s Corner Grille offers original, unusual and fresh-made flavors, alongside more familiar offerings that stand out with superior quality. Although more of a take-out venue, there are a few tables, and if you stay, the service is excellent. The price is on par for the quality offered, so you will pay a little more than your regular pizza or lunch take away, but the price is worth it.

he sleek body and perfumed aroma was not only intoxicating, it was delicious. With incredibly long supple legs this youthful beauty was more than I could have hoped for. It was as they say, love at first sight. Now before you get the wrong idea and call me a dirty old man, let me explain. Weird as it may be, I am talking about a bottle of wine here. That’s right; a bottle of wine. Not just any wine, but the absolutely wonderful Vouvray from France’s Loire region. Vouvray is made from the Chenin Blanc grape and is in my humble opinion one of the most under-rated wines in the world. It’s clean, crisp, lip-smacking nature can be paired with food or simply enjoyed as a quaffing wine. In fact, Vouvray from the central region of the Loire valley is a personal favorite of mine. Depending on the style, dry (sec) or semidry (demi sec), Vouvray can exhibit notes of honey, nuts, ginger, fig, apples and white flowers. Vouvray is often paired with rich, hearty dishes with flavorful sauces and, of course, seafood. The dryer style with its natural high acidity is clean and crisp, while the sweeter style with less acidity tends to be a little softer. Either way this is a must-try wine, especially now that we are heading into the warmer weather. It’s a perfect wine for the outdoor barbecue season. If you’re really adventurous, then try pairing a Vouvray with cheeses such as Camembert, Livarot or Chavignol. The word orgasmic takes on a whole new meaning here. So the next time you’re out shopping for a special wine pick up a few bottles of Vouvray. Producers such as Champlaou make terrific Vouvray and at a reasonable price.

Roadkill Orchestra’s sonic shower

Matthew Robert

Most of you who have been paying any attention in recent years know Stu “Dr. Gonzo” Esty, the giant of a man who cuts a big figure on the local scene, whether it’s his bigger-than-life personality, his landslide-inducing laugh, his big stature, or his big hands pounding out big bluesy, gospel-tinged tunes on the piano backed by his big, big voice, which you could hear in his ubiquitous appearances at any local club with an upright or a stage, or at his former lair, Dr. Gonzo’s Uncommon Condiments, where he holds down his straight job (ha!) conjuring up mustards and relishes and other ungodly concoctions meant to test your molecular fortitude, all the while bringing big-time cheer to the “hysterical courthouse district.” Expect big-time energy and funky, up-tempo boogie music in the vein of Little Feat and Joe Cocker’s “Mad Dogs and Englishmen,” as Esty’s Roadkill Orchestra holds a CD-release party for its latest effort, “The ‘B’ Set from High Atop the Secret Underground Laboratory,” on Saturday, June 16, at Ralph’s. The show will also feature Providence’s Kevin Williams and the Invisible Orphans (introspective power rock) and Worcester’s What (loose-

limbed, Dead-inspired rock), all emceed by Worcester’s own comedian/late-night host, Flip McClaine (Shaun Connolly). “I’m hoping that folks can make a conscious decision to just put [all their cares] aside for even an hour or two,” says Esty. “Music is a powerful medium and everyone needs a little downtime or escape from the norm. Consider us as a sonic shower or bath that you can use to wash away some woes. Lather, rinse, repeat.” The new CD finds the band in its best form to date, with a great, complementary lineup, featuring Esty on piano and vocals; Austin Beliveau on drums; James Bennett on saxophone; Jerry Maday on bass; and Darren Pinto on guitar; and with a slew of material, some from Esty’s recent creative hot streak, and some dating back to the ’70s and ’80s. “I’m currently going through an incredible creative spurt,” Esty says. “I don’t know who I’m channeling, but I’m writing more lyrics than I can shake a stick at – on the back of Dunkin’ Donuts bags, bits and pieces of trash….I’m just writing lyrics all over the place.” The new album, Esty says, was helped along considerably by his long-running “Turd (third) Thursdays Songwriting Challenge, a monthly event Stu has hosted at Dr. Gonzo’s Uncommon Condiments storefront for years. This was a place where local musicians could try out material composed along a series of alternating themes and guidelines.

“These events were a lot of fun (and well attended) and a lot of good music came about because of the event, mostly because we had a deadline,” Esty says. “The first song on this CD, “Norton 850,” was actually a product of two months’ worth of challenges. The first was to write about a moment in your life where an experience changed your life’s path or direction (the summer of

’68 when I first hear the rumble of an English two-cylinder bike). Found that I had the idea but the story and hook just did not reveal itself to me in the time frame. The next month’s challenge was where the tune’s hook and feel came from.” “Norton 850” is a good representation of Gonzo and RKO’s work: rootsy and rocking with a narrative teeming with humor and shades of meaning, hidden beneath progressive blues-rock rhythms, blistering lead guitar and jazzy sax lines. “My intention is to write songs that move me but have a broader message that will resonate outside of this moment

and have a story line or hook that will appeal to a larger audience,” says Esty. “The tune should move you physically and emotionally and might even have you humming it in quiet moments. I make an attempt to incorporate different levels of meaning into the lyrics, so that if you have the time and inclination, you can read into the tune and enjoy it on another plane.” RKO plans to work more of the new CD’s material into the current lineup for its slew of upcoming shows, which includes its usual spot at the annual Paulie’s NOLA Fest, in Worcester, in June, and its monthly second Saturday show at Vincent’s. They also hope to sneak in some recording dates. “We have an aggressive June schedule—you can spend the summer following us in your VW bus,” says Esty. “And we’re planning on capturing two or three of the new tunes, hopefully again with Roger [Lavallee, of Tremolo Lounge Studios, where “The ‘B’ Set” was recorded], and releasing them as singles over the summer.” Check out the RKO CD-release party on June 16 at Ralph’s Diner (95 Prescott St., Worcester, ralphsrockdiner. com), become a fan of the band at Reverb Nation (reverbnation.com/ theroadkillorchestra), and pick up a copy of the new CD at an upcoming show, at Dr. Gonzo’s Uncommon Condiments (at its new location at 90 May St., Worcester), or online at music retailers like CD Baby, Amazon, Spotify, Rhapsody or Googleplay.

James Alers SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD JAMES ALERS JUST GRADUATED FROM BURNCOAT HIGH SCHOOL AND WILL BE ATTENDING COLLEGE IN THE FALL. HE ENJOYS PLAYING VIDEO GAMES WITH FRIENDS AND WANTS TO MAKE MONEY THIS SUMMER BEFORE HEADING TO CAMBRIDGE FOR SCHOOL. SOUNDS LIKE YOUR AVERAGE TEENAGER, BUT ALERS ALSO HAS A VERY IMPRESSIVE RESUME AS A VIOLINIST, PLAYING WITH NUMEROUS ORCHESTRAS AND IN MUSICALS. ALERS WAS JUST AWARDED THE 2012 DOCTOR GERALD R. MACK MUSIC SCHOLARSHIP. HERE HE SHARES HIS STRUGGLES WITH ASPERGER’S AND HOW PLAYING THE VIOLIN IS THE REASON WHY HE IS ABLE TO SAY HE GRADUATED.

Why the violin? What draws you to the instrument? I play the violin because

when I was young, when I was around 4 or 5 years old, I saw on a movie on TV, a black and white movie and in that movie, I saw a violinist and I was very intrigued by it. The way people play violin, you see the bow and how it had strings, I was very fascinated. So, I took a cereal box, Lucky Charms. I cut a hole in it and took four rubber bands and I strung the bands over the hole and made a bridge. Then I took a coat hanger and used it as a bow to play the violin. And my mom came home and she saw what I was doing and that Christmas, I got a violin. That’s how it all started.

What has kept you playing the instrument all of these years? It was

very difficult at first, I was very fascinated but I was very young and I couldn’t really focus enough to practice. However, once I went to Burncoat Middle and once I was introduced to their strings orchestra, I became much more persuaded to keep on practicing because I was playing with other kids instead of just practicing and going to lessons by myself. It was a group thing, so I was driven to practice more and that’s what did it for me and it snowballed. I felt myself getting better and it kind of took off from there.

How has living with Asperger’s affected your life in general and as a violinist?

When I was younger, I had problems with simple things; it’s very difficult because it’s hard to differentiate things that I would see from things that

WORCESTERMAG.COM • JUNE 14, 2012

other people see. I’ve had problems with learning certain things; they were harder for me to understand or to learn than other kids. However, I did learn other things that other kids couldn’t learn, so it went both ways. But I was diagnosed in eighth grade with Asperger’s because that’s when my family and I were convinced that it might not just be me, but another reason, so I went to UMass and I was diagnosed with it. After going to counseling and understanding the diagnosis, and understanding Autism and Asperger’s and what it is, and what it contributes to, I realized why I would be so focused on practicing violin or other things that I’m more fixated on. It’s very difficult for me to focus on school instead of violin, which was another problem. I had difficulties in my studies because if something would be too difficult, I would switch my focus onto the violin because I learned the violin wasn’t difficult and I find comfort in it. Especially this year, it was very hard for me to focus on other things like graduating because I’m so busy with the violin and musicals. Asperger’s was really an obstacle but I’m honestly very grateful that I have this because I don’t think I would have gone as far as I have if I didn’t have that focus on the violin and if I wasn’t so driven to keep on working towards something that I love so much. I’m very grateful for it and I accept it.

What is your favorite song to play on the violin? Why? It’s not even a specific song, it’s a genre. I love romantic era music and composers like Czechowski because that’s the period of time

where music became more individual and people expressed different interpretations. I love practicing at home and creating my own interpretation of music. It’s better than any video game.

Tell me about the first time you ever played with a major Orchestra? The first time I played with a major Orchestra was the Hudson Symphony when I was in eighth grade. It was very scary. The first rehearsal I went in and everybody was older and grown-up. I was sitting in the back and I wasn’t that wonderful at reading music at the time but I was very determined to prove myself. When I first went into the orchestra, the conductor introduced me and we sat down and we ran through what we were playing and it was very difficult. I struggled. It wasn’t a good experience at first, but I went home after that and I practiced music very hard. The next rehearsal, I could actually enjoy it and hear how all of the instruments sound together and it was great to be a part of that. I love being in an orchestra and it drove me to move onto other orchestras and over the years I’ve been in districts, all-state, all of these different things. Even though they all Orchestras look the same, they are all very different in their own sense.

How did Burncoat help you in your journey as a violinist? I don’t even know where to start. All of the teachers and music directors of the music magnet helped me so much. Deborah Cole, high school conductor. Dani Rimoni, string conductor, teacher and mentor. David

Twiss, chorus director. These teachers have helped me; they have pushed me through different things. I got lessons there and learned how to practice. I am really fortunate that I could have lessons at a public school, not a lot of schools have that. I’m so grateful and thankful. Once I graduate from college, I want to go back there and help in any way that I can with the music magnet and return the favor.

Where have you decided to study in the fall? Are you Excited? Nervous? I decided to study at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge. I’m very excited. However, it is a little nerve-wracking. The school is very selective; there are a very small number of students in the entire school. It is very focused on building individual musicians, it’s very competitive. It’s very difficult for me because I’m not a competitive person. There is always going to be someone better than you and I’m such a perfectionist.

Where do you see yourself in ten years’ time? In ten years, I see myself as a devoted teacher because I have had so many teachers that were devoted to me. I look up to them and I love teaching. Not only would I be a teacher, but I see myself as a part of some big symphony somewhere, maybe Boston Pops where I can establish myself. I would also like to be a chamber musician. Everything violin! - Alicia Lazzaro
