Y

ou hear it all the time from outsiders. Worcester is a city with gang- and gun-related issues. Really? What large urban area doesn’t have similar issues, one might ask? The thing of it is, when you look closely at the numbers – especially the numbers related to gun violence in the city of Worcester – we’re not doing so badly compared to other cities of comparable sizes. But the one thing that did worry our senior writer Jeremy Shulkin when researching those gun statistics, was the concentration of those numbers within particular communities in the city. So with that in mind, we’ve taken a closer look through those hazy numbers to find out what they mean – and how our local law enforcement is striving to clear the smoke to find a solution.

Worcester’s Fight for the Future wages another battle Jeremy Shulkin

Creedon and Company catering goes completely green with 437 solar panels erected on its Jolma Road building’s roof. The company estimates the solar power will reduce its carbon footprint by approximately 170,000 pounds of carbon dioxide every year, cover all their energy needs and produce enough electricity to power 20 homes for one year. The Worcester Hydra FC comes back from behind and ties CFC Azul in stoppage time to bring its record to 3-2-5 while the Worcester Tornadoes continue on while Jose Canseco sits on the DL. A Worcester woman is arrested on a charge of human trafficking for sexual service stemming from massage parlors in Hopedale and on Park Avenue in Worcester. A proposed Worcester site for a Scott Brown – Elizabeth Warren debate is scrapped after the incumbent Senator rejects the idea. An odd move, considering how much he’s made Central Massachusetts a key to his campaign’s victory. Worcester Polytechnic Institute breaks ground on a new dorm on Faraday Street. The 89,000 square foot building will be the campus’ fourth with LEED certification. WORCESTERMAG.COM • JUNE 28, 2012

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood tours Union Station and Worcester Regional Airport the same day as the groundbreaking ceremony for the replacement Burns Bridge project over Lake Quinsigamond. In comments at Union Station, LaHood ripped into congress for not passing a comprehensive transportation bill, saying it needs to get its act together like Worcester has in that area. “Where I go is where I see success and where I see success is where communities come together,” he said.

L

ast winter a small team of Worcesterites working out of a Home Street three-decker started working to upset the country’s political order, mobilizing millions of people to contact their representatives in Congress and urge them to vote against two pieces of legislation opponents said took copyright law too far: the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA). The group’s tactics, which included a meme featuring Justin Bieber and alliances with powerful organizations like the Electronic Frontier Foundation, companies like Mozilla and Facebook and websites like Wikipedia and Reddit, shone light on two bills expected to cruise through congress. By January, supporters like the Recording Industry Association of America and the Motion Picture Association of America were caught offguard when each bill floundered in the House and Senate. “This was a whole new different game all of a sudden,” former senator Chris Dodd, now head of the MPAA, told the New York Times afterwards. “This thing was considered by many to be a slam-dunk.” The coup led to quotes from Worcesterites and Fight for the Future principal players Tiffiniy Cheng and Holmes Wilson in major news outlets like the Boston Globe, the New York Times, Politico and even MTV news. Six months later, Fight for the Future has started waging another privacy battle and hopes that this campaign will be as successful as the last. “I can’t say we have a meme that is as compelling as Free Bieber,” says Zak Rogoff, the organization’s campaign manager and a student at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, a nod to the successful spreader of awareness that was the group’s creation of pictures of the teen pop star behind bars as a way to drive home the argument that PIPA/SOPA was too extreme on creative re-use of intellectual property. (At press time Worcester Mag learned that Rogoff no longer works for Fight for the Future.) Fight for the Future has now begun fighting off the CyberSecurity Act 2012, sponsored by senators Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Susan

By Steven King

Just a few of the events happening in Worcester last week: “Raiders of the Lost Ark” shown on the Common, Paulie’s NOLA Jazz and Blues Fest takes over the Village of Piedmont, the Juneteenth Festival brings great food and music to Institute Park, the Rock and Roll Flea Market kicked off the first of its weekly meet ups in Ralph’s Rock Diner’s parking lot and Mechanics Hall fills up for two days of The Festival, with domestic and imported breweries pouring some of the world’s best beers, ciders and meads for hundreds to craft-brew lovers. If you were bored, it’s your own fault.

Collins (R-ME), as well as the SECURE IP Act sponsored by John McCain (R-AZ). Both are Senate variations on the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), which passed the House at the end of April. Fight for the Future was against that bill as well. Proponents of CISPA and its corresponding bills in the Senate say they are needed to fight cyber crime. “Economic cyber spies will have a harder time stealing American business plans and research and development as the House took the first step today by passing a cybersecurity bill that will help U.S. companies better protect themselves from dangerous economic predators,” reads a press release on the website of Michigan Republican congressman and bill sponsor Mike Rogers. “The bill gives the federal government new authority to share classified cyber threat information with approved American companies and knocks down barriers to cyber threat information sharing. With strong provisions built in to keep individual American’s private information private, the bill allows U.S. businesses to better protect their own networks and their corporate customers from hackers looking to steal intellectual property.” Rogers’ office did not respond to a Worcester Mag interview request. In nonpolitician speak, the bill would allow Internet providers to share user information with government agencies, no subpoena or court order necessary. “It gives them legal immunities from

surreal

privacy laws,” Rogoff says, which Fight for the Future believes would set a dangerous precedent. “Once the government is used to getting this information people just start asking for it,” he says. “They don’t have to worry about liability as far as civil rights are concerned.” Like the last go-around, Fight for the Future has a slew of online rights organizations backing them up. “We’re most concerned about the privacy and civil rights issues for Internet users,” says Mark Stanley, new media manager at the Center for Democracy and Technology, a Washington, D.C., nonprofit focusing on Internet freedom. Like the SOPA/PIPA battle, CISPA initially looked like a lock to pass. While it did, Rogoff and Stanley say enough discussion was generated to somewhat water down some troubling aspects. “It really looked like it was going to fly through the House unchanged,” says Stanley. “A number of good privacy changes were made to CISPA before it passed.” That said, both Rogoff and Stanley call it “a bad bill” and Fight for the Future is still working on not allowing either version to pass the Senate. Though Fight for the Future has been campaigning against CISPA and its corresponding Senate votes for a little less than two months, the newer legislation has been harder to organize around than PIPA/ SOPA was, Rogoff says, because it’s still

he inhabitants of Worcester can continue to hike and drink safely — drink their water that is. The City of Worcester along with help from the town of Paxton and the Greater Worcester Land Trust (GWLT) recently purchased a 57acre parcel of land between the towns of Paxton and Leicester that supplies part of the city’s drinking water. The recently purchased land, called the Muir Meadow property, was under private ownership by the Richards family in Paxton and was set to be sold to a private housing developer. However, the land itself was meant to be used for a waste-water treatment plant. The Greater Worcester Land Trust, a nonprofit organization devoted to protecting and

was $1 million, and the Land Trust was able to help by providing $150,000, while the town of Paxton agreed to pay $100,000, along with a state grant that paid $400,000; the city of Worcester then paid the remaining difference of $350,000. In order for this to take place, the town of Paxton had to convene a special town meeting, where it was voted unanimously by the townspeople to preserve the land. The awareness about Muir Meadow was spread with the help of the Paxton Land Trust, the Mass Audubon Society, and the Central Mass Rail Trail—these organizations called their members and spread news about the selling of the land. As Novick states, the joint effort placed in preserving Muir Meadow shows “what a big community [this is].”

preserving open-space land (mainly to preserve natural habitats, but also for the use of passive recreations) in the Worcester area, had been working with the family for about 24 years. What makes this particular plot of land so deserving of attention is its location as part of what Colin Novick, executive director of the Land Trust, calls “the green belt.” The land sits firmly between the towns of Leicester, Holden, Paxton, and the city of Worcester and provides an open-space connector between these communities. With this purchase, the Land Trust will assist in building and developing hiking trails so that people can travel between these communities freely. According to Novick, the overall process of acquiring the land took approximately a year. The purchase price for the land

(outdoor rubbish) fires, the increase in the number of such fires in the lower Pleasant Street is cause for concern for the WFD.” At the meeting, which included residents as well as the Worcester Police Department’s Community Impact Division Captain Roger Steele, as well as Capt. William Metterville and Lt. Anne Marie Pickett of the WFD, Keefe said the purpose was to find a smart way to let the community know this was happening without providing satisfaction or motivation to whoever’s setting the fires. Both police and fire representatives, without wanting to divulge too much information, said they are investigating most of these incidents as arsons. “It’s fair to say someone is lighting these dumpsters on fire,” Metterville told the group. “I don’t think the Worcester Police Department or Worcester Fire Department think these fires are being started by accidental cigarettes,” Steele said, adding that the arson unit has a lead to a suspect who’s a known “firestarter” seen in the area. Details on the investigation into the Merrick Street fire were guarded. Metterville said the cause is still undetermined and a number of agencies were cooperating in the investigation. It was noted that most of these fires, including Merrick Street, all originated at the same time of day, between 4 and 6 a.m.

The aftermath of the Merrick Street fire has caused concern among neighbors, who say the site and neighboring evicted buildings are attracting noise and garbage from teens and others visiting the properties, and are potential arson targets as well. Steele said that route officers have been told to keep an eye out for suspicious activity in the area while patrolling between 4 and 6 a.m. Metterville and Pickett reiterated that dumpsters should be 25 feet away from buildings and residents should check to make sure their smoke alarms work. They also plan on more community outreach, and a follow-up meeting at the Network Center has been scheduled. “We depend on the community,” Metterville told the group about the Merrick Street fire. “This was a very large fire. Do we need a break [in the investigation]? Do we need someone who knows something to call? Absolutely.” Anyone with information regarding fires should call the State Arson Hotline at 1-800-682-9229, which offers a reward of up to $5,000 for any information that helps detect or prevent an arson fire. Residents can also contact the Worcester Fire Department’s investigation unit at 508-799-1930. The Worcester Police Department’s detective bureau can be reached at 508-799-8651; its complaints and information line is 508-799-8600.

unclear when the votes will take place. He calls them a “moving target.” “We are tracking it and changing our tacks as necessary, but it’s hard to build momentum.” In the meantime, however, the group has done what it did with Free Bieber. They’ve created the website PrivacyIsAwesome.com and are encouraging Internet users to contact their representatives. Even as there’s uncertainty about CISPA’s future, Fight for the Future’s allies see at least one positive. “You can call it a win – not the final victory – in that privacy is a central component in debates about cyber security,” Stanley says, adding that before the SOPA/PIPA battle last year, that wasn’t the case with Internet legislation.

As part of the GWLT’s work on Muir Meadow, the organization approached the City of Worcester’s Department of Public Works and Parks. The Muir Meadow property was not only a valuable wildlife habitat, but it also contained Southwick Pond, a part of the Lynde Brooke Reservoir, which supplies some of Worcester’s drinking water. As Commissioner Robert Moylan says, the city has “an ongoing interest in identifying parcels of land that are part of the watershed.” Moylan says that all of Worcester’s drinking-water supplies lie outside of the city itself and as a result for the past eight to 10 years the city has been using state funding to purchase land that is part of the supply system so as to ensure it remains undamaged. According to Moylan, the city already owns several thousand acres of land like Muir Meadow. Had the property been given to the developer, the location would potentially threaten the water quality in Southwick Pond. Moylan goes on to state that Worcester is “not even close” to acquiring such types of land, but will continue to do so “anytime we can purchase land to protect from developers. This case was more two-fold: to preserve and protect the land, and the financial assistance from the Greater Worcester Land Trust. I see this more of as a classical win-win situation.”

HANDY MAKES THE BALLOT: Winthrop Handy, an

independent candidate running for State Representative in the 14th District against Democratic incumbent Jim O’Day and Republican challenger Bill McCarthy, successfully defeated a challenge to keep him off the ballot in a State Ballot Law Commission ruling that came out on June 22. “I’m quite pleased,â€? Handy said over the phone when he heard on Friday. The challenge came from Worcester resident Paul Coffey, Jr., who challenged 19 of the 150 signatures on Handy’s nomination papers that he had turned in to the West Boylston town clerk. Some have questioned if Coffey’s challenge has worked in concert with one of Handy’s challenger’s campaigns—a connection that both O’Day and McCarthy deny. (Coffey did not return Worcester Mag phone calls when the case was ďŹ rst announced.) Still, Handy believes that’s the case. “Obviously they thought I would split the votes,â€? he said.

MEALS ON WHEELS: Those who

bought tickets through Travelzoo for the Food Truck Festival of New England event, slated for July 14 at Elm Park, received an odd refundpurchase email over the weekend that read, “We are very sorry to inform you that Food Truck Festivals of New England has gone out of business and is unable to honor your Local Deal.â€? The next day, Travelzoo sent out a follow up: “We were wrong, and we are so sorry about our mistake.â€? Food Truck Festivals of New England seems to have taken it in stride. “It happened, and we’ve survived,â€? says spokesperson Janet Prensky, who assured the Worcesterites who would like to see the city ďŹ nally take advantage of an established business model that has spurred notoriety and economic improvement in cities across the country that “the Worcester food truck festival will be going on at Elm Park and all is well.â€? Apparently there was some confusion as the festival changed its ticket system after some people purchased tickets through Travelzoo and Groupon: anyone who did had their money refunded because now patrons can show up at Elm Park that day to buy individual tickets, with $1 equaling one ticket.

COULD YOU REPEAT THAT, MR. SECRETARY?: Federal Transportation Secretary and former Republican Illinois Congressman Ray LaHood visited Worcester on Monday, touring Union Station and the Worcester Regional Airport with Lt. Gov. Tim Murray and Congressman Jim McGovern. The three made remarks at each stop, urging congress to pass a stalled comprehensive transportation bill. “Where I go is where I see success, and where I see success is where communities come together,â€? Sec. LaHood said, throwing in some praise for Worcester, “Some members of congress need to take a page out of [Worcester’s] book,â€? a reference to CitySquare and Union Station’s development. ‌ Surely LaHood was briefed about the city before visiting, but someone forgot to tell him that the mention of anything remotely close to an access road at the airport would bring up controversy. While McGovern and Murray continued to extol the virtues of Worcester Regional, LaHood talked about necessary upgrades that would make the airport an attractive destination for airline CEOs to consider. (In fact, Murray mentioned all three got on the phone to talk to some of them that day.) “It’s very clear there is a consensus this airport could use a couple of airlines,â€? LaHood said, adding that he’s committed to work with MassPort and the FAA for infrastructure improvements and a “direct route by way of road.â€? McGovern and Murray tamped down the statement as much as they could, pointing out that 107,000 commercial passengers found their way to ORH last year without an access road and added that Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission’s February 2011 Regional Mobility Study has other nonaccess road options. “We’re looking at this in a multifaceted way,â€? Murray said. EXTRA EXTRA MONEY: New Garden Park, the nonproďŹ t subsidiary of the Worcester Business Development Corporation (WBDC), announced on Tuesday that the Telegram & Gazette has agreed to provide remediation money to clean up its former 18-20 Franklin St. building complex of asbestos, lead, gasoline and other chemicals that have made their way into the property in its 100 years of use. The estimated $1.1 million clean-up project has drawn criticism because so much of the cost will come from government-issued brownďŹ eld redevelopment grants. While neither the T&G nor the WBDC are releasing the ďŹ nancial details of the settlement, it means the WBDC’s $300,000 purchase price for the building is technically lower thanks to this additional inux of T&G money, which is almost astounding considering the city assessed 18 Franklin St. at nearly $4.7 million this year and $3.3 million the year before.

levator E brings visitors to the fourth floor of UMass Memorial hospital. I know this because I’ve taken the route to the maternity ward several times in the past week, after my pregnant daughter was admitted with signs of early labor. Outside, the temperature was edging 100, but on the fourth floor, all was cool and calm. For the next four days, I watched as the nurses assigned to care for my daughter and the little boy she’s carrying worked tirelessly to ease her worries and tend to her every need. It’s a career choice that never appealed to me, but I thank my lucky stars that others feel the calling. Little did they know that as they wiped away my daughter’s tears, they threw a lifeline to her mother simply by doing what they were hired to do. During the days when we were most reliant on the knowledge and expertise of strangers, the news was all about people abusing the trust of the most vulnerable among us. The trial of Gerry Sandusky came to a close while nurses were placing monitors on my daughter’s belly. There are no words that can aptly describe a man who hunted children for pleasure. Sandusky chose his victims from a pool of boys who craved male guidance and companionship; such monstrous and deliberate predatory behavior boggles the mind. Following this trial had depressed me terribly, and more news of similar crimes just heaped sadness upon outrage as I began to back away from reading the headlines. A Taunton teacher was arrested for raping young girls and “sexting” them snapshots of himself. A professional clown was arrested for possessing a cache of child pornography. Yet another priest was found guilty of abusing young boys. Seventh graders verbally

The Magic Bus The City Manager said in this story that over 10,000 people a week visit the Main Branch of the library. Yet, the main branch is not open on Sundays and Mondays. Three of the five days a week it is open, the main branch closes at 5:30pm. Instead of spending $80,000 a year on a Bookmobile, that money should be spent to open the main branch more days and for longer hours. There are few reasons for people to go Downtown. The Library is one of those few reasons. Junk the Bookmobile and open the Main Branch of the Library more days and more hours. Submitted online by L I BRARY M A N

REO passes council At the June 19th meeting of the Worcester City Council, union representatives offered a new definition of fairness. In denying that the Responsible Employer Ordinance was drafted solely to benefit unions, their representatives produced numbers showing that non-union labor received one-third of public work provided by the City since the implementation of the ordinance in 1994. In dollar terms, the proportion was substantially lower. Of the 75 projects worth $310 million, non-union contractors secured $39 million. Moreover, the union reps omitted an important

Harvey assaulted a bus monitor to the point of tears in a YouTube video that was so painful to watch, I couldn’t get past the first three minutes. What next? I wondered. When did we become such an ugly species? What kind of a world is this grandson of mine entering? My mind was spinning. Every time I turned on the TV, our elected officials were going for each other’s jugulars. It occurred to me that the reason vampires and zombies have become iconic is their appeal as unfeeling beings. Cannibalism! A drug-crazed man devoured the face of a homeless acquaintance. I began to think that this baby of ours needed to stay put for more than medical reasons. That’s when I made the decision to focus on the people around me—the women of the fourth floor, who took the extra time to chat with us about their own pregnancies, and eased my daughter’s anxieties with their gentle touch and genuine concern for her baby and her peace of mind. They monitored the baby’s heartbeat, measured any contractions my daughter experienced, assured her that no question was a silly one. Steroids would strengthen his lungs, they explained, should he stubbornly insist on appearing two months earlier than planned. Because of their care, early delivery was averted, and my daughter went home to rest and await baby Jack’s arrival. What I witnessed was care that comes from within; no amount of training can teach compassion, no textbook can impart the sensitivity and concern that the maternity staff showed my daughter. The nurses of UMass Memorial had no way of knowing that along the way, as they plumped my daughter’s pillows and checked her IV, they nurtured my bruised soul, mending my tattered faith in a race that increasingly seems inhuman.

Yes, I do. We are even looking to move out of Worcester to be able to walk our daughter and be able to have her play in the yard.

Nirva Penbeyan- Renzetti WORCESTER fact: according to unionstats.com, 14.6% of all construction workers in Massachusetts in 2011 were unionized. So less than 15% of all construction workers have garnered twothirds of Worcester’s public projects, or close to 90% in dollar terms. With such a split, who can blame them for wanting to keep in place the unconstitutional regulations that brought such an advantage regardless of the cost to other construction workers, or to taxpayers. While the unions have redefined fairness, it’s reassuring to know that the definition of chutzpah has remained the same.

Read the fine print I wonder, what is the purpose in painting public school teachers in a bad light? Who else is qualified to teach our children, E.T? I mean seriously, if the end goal is to make sure our children are given the best, most effective education, then why work against teachers?? Why treat teachers like they “are ineffective and under educated?” This seems futile and ineffective. Until there is a beacon directly aimed into outer space calling all intelligent life to materialize and do the education rumba dance, why can’t we work together?? Stop fighting the educators... support them!

Gunsmoke URBAN VIOLENCE TARGETS YOUTH AND RACE

Jeremy Shulkin

Two messages are being parsed out of Worcester’s gun-violence statistics since 2004. One, driven home by the police department and city officials, is that Worcester is a safe city with a homicide and gun-injury rate well below neighboring similarly sized cities like Springfield, Mass., Hartford, Conn., and Providence, R.I. The other, put out in the open by Police Chief Gary Gemme during a community meeting spurred on by community members wanting to address the arrest of Romani teen David Russo last summer, is that 82 percent of Worcester’s 220 gun violence victims (both homicides and injuries) since January 2004 have come from communities of color – Blacks, Hispanics and Asians.

“If we’re going to have a real discussion, a real debate, let’s do it about what’s happening among communities of color,” Gemme said pointedly to the crowd collected at Claremont Academy. “The biggest cost to communities is gun

violence.” “I’m somewhat surprised, and I’m somewhat not surprised,” Ravi Perry, former NAACP Worcester chapter head and Clark University political science professor, says of the two sets of numbers. “I’m sure it’s shocking to those who don’t follow gun violence data,” he adds, noting “roughly 25 to 27 gun-violence victims every year is not particularly high” for Worcester’s population and size. That 82 percent number, however, gives him some pause. “I think that seems high [but] it doesn’t strike me as surprising given the city is now approaching 40 percent color.” Naturally, there are a number of factors in this. Police say that most victims of gun violence in Worcester know the perpetrator. Often, a perpetrator in one incident becomes a victim in the next. Age and location are also factors, as many gun-fire incidents stem from gang beef and bad drug transactions. “It’s broader than just ‘I’m a victim. I walked into a dangerous situation. I just happen to be Latino or Black,’” Perry says. “Regardless of the inconclusives, there are a lot of questions this raises.” The questions are the same ones posed by social-service organizations around the city: location, economic opportunity and education all have a direct impact on youth violence, so how has the state and the city been investing in improving each of these factors?

THE VIEW FROM THE CRUISER Of the 220 shooting victims

in the past seven-and-ahalf years, 101 have been Hispanic, 76 have been black and three have been Asian. The remaining 40 were Caucasian.

In the past 18 months Worcester has had 37 shooting victims, 33 of whom were Black or Hispanic. “Most of the time it’s today’s victim, tomorrow’s suspect,” says Worcester Police Captain Paul Saucier, who underscores the point that many of Worcester’s shootings are between people who know each other, and often retaliatory. “The chances of your door flying off the hinges are rather remote,” says WPD public information officer Sgt. Kerry Hazelhurst, who estimates that since 2004, the majority of shooters and victims are youth, from teenagers to 24 years old. The causes of gunfire are similarly juvenile, says Gang Unit Sgt. Stephen Roche, usually because of gang rivalries, disputes of ex-girlfriends, drug disputes and even Facebook comments. “A lot of these kids grew up with each other,” Roche continues. “They might even be relatives” who joined different gangs. “Now they’re on different sides of the fence, and they’re enemies,” detective Michael Tarckini adds. “It’s somewhat disheartening to know how much these gangs instill in these families.” Police also see another trend: many of the victims and perpetrators already have some kind of involvement with the criminal-justice system, with Roche “conservatively” estimating that 80 percent of the kids that the gang unit deals with are already on probation,

out on bail or have some other kind of judicially imposed supervision. This has led to reactionary and preventative strategies in dealing with gun-related crimes. Most recently, the department has changed the way it assesses gun-violence crime scenes. In 2011 the Shooting Response Team (or SRT) was developed to bring different parts of the department together, like the detective bureau, vice squad and gang unit to share information. “This group doesn’t exist anywhere else in the state,” Tarckini says, a sentiment shared by other Worcester officers. “We were just talking one night,” says Saucier on the genesis of the SRT, “[asking] how can we provide better communication with these cases?” The police department has also strengthened ties with the district attorney’s office, pushing for harsher sentences for those charged with firearms violation. “We have more tools from the court system so we can follow it from day one,” Tarckini says. “When we indict someone for a crime, we want the heaviest sentence possible.” Pushing for maximum sentences has led to some public dust ups with judges however, with the WPD, specifically mentioning Worcester Superior Court Judge Janet Kenton-Walker through news videos and press releases over the winter for awarding bail or lowering bail in highprofile cases. “We’ve voiced our concerns to the courts; we’ve sent out a press release regarding suspects in violent crimes being out on bail, being on parole, being on probation,” Gemme said in a March interview with Worcester Mag. “If you’ve

got a violent offender, keep him locked up because he’s not doing any justice for the community. We’re seeing it over and over again, where the suspects on those cases are out on parole or on bail.” In addition to making arrests, since December the Shooting Response Team has removed 15 handguns. While it’s difficult to keep stats on crimes prevented, “every gun you take has the potential of a body on it,” Tarckini says – in reference to both past and potential future crimes. The department has also been pushing tough sentences for gun negligence, particularly when an owner’s carelessness has led the gun to fall into the hands of someone who then uses it unlawfully. If the police department, with the help of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, tracks a gun back to someone who failed to lock up his or her gun, that person could face a 10-year jail sentence.

GUN ROAD Two-hundred-plus incidents

of gun violence in eight years do not mean there have been 200 guns in the hands of people who should not have them. Likewise,

not every gang member on the street carries a gun.

Guns – like drugs, money and people – are transient things. City gangs often have a community gun stashed away somewhere and picked up by a gang member when needed. “Most of these kids aren’t waling around with guns,” Saucier says. “They’ll see [a target] and call in an airstrike.” In Springfield, where gun violence is much higher than in Worcester, officials there see the same problems. “The violence all stems from subjects who know each other,” says Springfield Officer Charlie Youmans. “They’re all gang connected. You find that a lot of gang members are either shooting each other or at other gangs.” Worcester, like Springfield, has mostly seen handguns involved in their crimes. Right now, it’s a silver lining even as gun violence ticked upward locally at the beginning of the year. “Right now we’ve been very fortunate that they’ve been smaller caliber weapons,” Youmans says, though he acknowledges that automatic guns have been used in Springfield too. Springfield and Hartford (and Worcester, to a much less extent), in this case have the misfortune of laying on

the I-91/I-95 corridor, where much of the drug and gun running takes place in the Northeast. “Some how, some way, they get across state lines,” Youmans says, noting they’ve traced guns they’ve seized from across the country, even as far away as Arizona. Despite this, there’s little call for tightening gun laws in Massachusetts, a state which both the Worcester police interviewed for this story and Youmans say already has tough regulations. “The state gun laws are pretty strict as it is,” says Youmans. The Worcester police would rather see tougher enforcement on the judicial end rather than advocating for legislative change – though among local gun owners it is said that Chief Gemme is notoriously difficult to obtain a license to carry from. Gemme says he considers his approach to approving licenses to carry “part of our comprehensive strategy to reduce the number of guns on the street.” Other than that, Worcester’s gun laws are no different than what’s in the Massachusetts General Laws. Instead, the police department has tried preventative steps as well, putting the gang unit front and center in schools, after school programs and recreational areas where teens gather. They also put on

Roche says about the gang unit’s relationship with youth they keep tabs on. In some cases, their connection is much more than just gangs versus cops. Roche remembers a phone call from a gang member asking if there were still spots available in a gang unit-sponsored summer camp for his kid. For the most part, Roche says they interact with each other cordially. “It’s [a relationship] of respect. They know we’re doing our job.â€? It’s a difference from how it was after the gang unit was ďŹ rst created in 1993, when their car windows would get smashed out. Then there’s the other side of that relationship. For a unit that makes 600 arrests per year, according to Roche, they become familiar with those they put in handcuffs. “It’s disappointing when an investigation turns up and they are involved in a drug [raid] or shooting,â€? Roche says about youth he’s boxed or played basketball with. In some areas the preventative measures have worked. “When we started the public safety department 11 years ago, we had no

Since then, crime, particularly at the housing authority’s most notable housing complex, Great Brook Valley, has declined. Rosario says Great Brook Valley used to see six or seven drug raids per year, but there hasn’t been one in one-and-a-half years. Alex Corrales, deputy director of development and special projects, adds that there hasn’t been a shooting victim on the premises recently, and the last homicide there took place four or ďŹ ve years ago. (Neither the perpetrator nor the

victim lived in Great Brook Valley.) “I certainly don’t want to say we’re crime-free or crime-proof,� Corrales says, “[but] Great Brook Valley is in really good shape. We’re – knock on wood – not having the problems we’re seeing in other communities.� They credit that to preventative measures too. There’s tighter communication between the Worcester police and the Worcester Housing Authority, problem tenants or incidents are dealt with before they escalate, and they’ve enacted summer programs to keep kids occupied during summer months.

weekend after noted Emergency Room trauma surgeon and newly minted Worcester Public Health Commissioner Dr. Michael Hirsh organized another gun buyback program where 40 guns were collected at the Department of Public Health building at 25 Meade St. from folks who traded them in for a $50 Wegman’s gift card. Even though buyback programs are scrutinized over whether or not the guns they collect actually come from people who would use them to harm others, Hirsh believes that doesn’t give a full picture.

According to the straight demographics collected by a voluntary survey handed out, most of the people trading in guns are middle aged, 95 percent are White,

and they “bring their weapons in because they have children or grandchildren in the house and are concerned [the guns] were not secured properly.” “The question has come up: ‘you’re not getting gangs or criminals to turn a gun in,’” Hirsh says. But a number of shootings come from guns that have been stolen, and with more than 2,200 guns collected in 10 years (while giving out 700 trigger locks) from the Worcester area, Hirsh believes lives have been saved. “These are not antiques. These are good for interpersonal damage. We know that the weapons coming in are the kinds that cause tragedies,” like crimes of passion, suicides or accidents. He adds it’s a good investment; $114,000 in donated money has been used to run the program, which is less than the cost of the acute care for just three gunshot victims. The buyback comes as Hirsh and other doctors and public health departments across the country promoted National Ask Day last week, encouraging doctors to “spend a little bit of time asking if there are any weapons in the home” of patients in for visits, which Hirsh says is just as significant a question for child wellness as asking if there are fire detectors in the house or if seatbelts are used in the car. That question, however, has drawn the ire of the National Rifle Association,

which has called it an intrusion into 2nd Amendment rights, and Florida – the state where sanity goes to retire – passed a bill making it a level-three felony for doctors to ask the question. “There was a lot of outrage, even among gun-owning physicians,” Hirsh says about that law. It’s since been quashed by a federal injunction, but he says he wouldn’t be surprised to see it come before the Supreme Court. “All we’re saying is there’s a lot of curiosity amongst kids,” he explains, referencing a study that showed that even if kids watch training videos telling them not to touch guns and instead find an adult, if they stumble upon one, “every single kid will try to pick up that gun.”

Miguel carried an illegal firearm as a measure of security.

“You can get [a gun] anywhere,” he says. He’s seen gun violence first-hand too: while sitting in a car with friends, a rival pulled a gun on them eventually shooting one of them in the head and – luckily – only injuring him. Miguel has since found his place with Straight Ahead Ministries, an organization that helps Department of Youth Services and justice-system-affiliated youth reintegrate back into society. Its

recidivism program in Lynn, Mass., has been so successful at keeping kids from returning to jail that it’s been looked at as a federal model. Straight Ahead has bible study and faith-based programs in jails in 19 states and five countries, but its headquarters are in Worcester – it recently moved from Grove Street to Main Street and opened Straight Up Café, where many of the employees are youth like Miguel. Scott Larson, president and co-founder of Straight Ahead Ministries, says the program works because they find people with the same background and

experiences to reach out to youth while in the justice system. “What we’re trying to do here is start a lot of small businesses that make a lot of work but not a lot of capital,” Larson explains. That includes the café, as well as a construction company, silkscreen shop and community college curriculum design program in Lynn. Miguel and Larson both say for kids looking to get out of gang life, it’s not a snap decision they can just make. It takes years of slowly weaning away – any immediate renouncement can make a former member an enemy very quickly.

Larson says the goal is to keep youth occupied working (and wanting to work) that they simply don’t have time for gang life, and eventually, their crew stops calling once they get the hint that their former member can’t step away from their job to drive around. “To get away you have to be brave,” Miguel says, adding that he’s had to ask God for help. He’s seen progress though. “I finally got my check,” he says after his first couple of weeks at the café. “I felt really good about that because I had actually worked for it.” He took his mom out for dinner with the money, and gave some to his little brother. This raises the question of whether or not local youth see a societal investment in like they used to. Ten years ago there were more job opportunities, more neighborhood pools and cheaper (and better) transportation. With cash-strapped state and local budgets, that investment hasn’t been there for years. “Lots of places are struggling in how to be creative in supporting their community,” says Roberto Diaz, assistant director at the Worcester Youth Center. “We’ve had [gun violence] on our radar because we deal with youth some have labeled ‘disconnected.’” There’s a clamoring in that community for more opportunity and access to success, as he points out that 2,000 youth across the state rallied in front of the statehouse in February to demand more money for youth jobs – part of the state budget in danger of being slashed. Not only were 150 of those youth from Worcester, but this was the second year in a row that a rally for that cause happened. Despite this, the Worcester Youth Center’s summer-job slots have decreased by half, and that’s down from a decrease by half the year before. It’s not all negative though. In spite of the down economy, the Worcester Youth Center has seen increased funding, as some donors know these are the times to invest more. Larson also sees some silver lining. “The good that I’ve seen of it is cities and police departments have to go out and apply for funding they were used to getting,” which he says leads to more collaboration between agencies and government departments. What began as a year treading dangerously close to Springfield or Providence gun violence in Worcester, has waned recently, but it’s just as school lets out for the summer, temperatures rise and youth unemployment reaches staggering levels. It’s a mix that will test the city’s preventative measures and hopefully have those in charge looking at budgets and wondering if we, as a state and city, are really investing in our youth, or just trying to occupy their time.

fill the warm air. You can’t get more outdoors than the grounds of Worcester’s own Ecotarium. In its 22nd year of existence, the Summer Concert Series at the Ecotarium has a fresh new name and attitude. This summer, Live at Sunset— held rain or shine—promises to deliver local legends and brand-new musical acts that will entice every age group to undergo the Ecotarium experience. Jazz,

bluegrass, and rhythm and blues are some of the musical tastes a ticket holder will experience during Live at Sunset. Every music-goer will be exposed not only to the music, but also to the Ecotarium itself.

that flocks to the Ecotarium every summer in hopes to discover new and returning artists. James Montgomery Bluesband is just one of the headliners scheduled to perform at the environmental venue. James Montgomery, who has toured with Aerosmith, the Allman Brothers and Bruce Springsteen over his 40year career, reveals that playing at a more intimate venue like the Ecotarium allows the band to engage more with the audience. “It is a great venue with great people,” says Montgomery. “Worcester is a staple for us, it has been great. We really love it there,” Montgomery says. What began primarily as a celebration of jazz music, the re-invented Live at Sunset concert series has evolved along with it’s audience, all the while still keeping jazz as the core strength of the shows. Garnering multigenerational appeal, the music showcased at Live at Sunset relates to spectators of all ages. In his first Live at Sunset appearance, Montgomery shares, “We work a lot of festivals over the years, and a lot of them are big family events. Our music is really accessible.” Jamming on the harmonica, Montgomery will be joined in a line-up of performers including Dave Gabel and The Abletones, Roomful of Blues, Lake Street Drive, Bellevue Cadillac, and Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas. After 22 years, “Worcester’s summer tradition,” as Gerry Weston from WICN radio station—the media partner contributing to the Live at Sunset concert series—puts it, Lake Street Dive bring their propulsive sustains it’s perpetual success largely due to the universal belief that the Ecotarium is full grooves, brilliant vocals, and evocative of great people and great music. Bill Doyle song craft with their own infectious of The Abletones sums up his feelings on indie-pop sound to Live at Sunset on performing at the Ecotarium: “We’re having June 29th. a great time performing and when you can combine that with a sea of smiling faces in the audience, what better way is there to spend an evening?” The Ecotarium prides itself on offering Live at Sunset will prove to be a beneficial experience quality entertainment by way of live musically and aesthetically. For $18 a ticket (children animals, knowledgeable activities for younger than 12 are free), concert-goers are exposed to children, and scenic surroundings that an enchanting night out without the car or train ride into will effortlessly convince anyone to spend Boston. Light dinner, snacks, beer and wine are available for purchase. The concerts run every Friday until July the afternoon. 24, excluding the week of July 4, each beginning at 5:30 Julieane Frost, public-relations coordinator at the p.m. Ecotarium, admits that unlike the original title of the EcoTarium is located at 222 Harrington Way, Summer Concert Series—Jazz at Sunset—the newly Worcester. 508-929-2700, ecotarium.org. established Live at Sunset offers a wider range of musical tastes, to keep up with the ever-growing crowd JUNE 28, 2012 • WORCESTERMAG.COM

Comfort food in Cherry Valley Mike Murray

What makes an easy bite to eat? The lack of any need to get dressed up or put on a charade; the relaxed comfort of being able to visit a restaurant without brushing up on stuffy culinary history or the latest dining trends. Eller’s Restaurant and Family Dining typifies the easy bite to eat. Situated on 190 Main St. in Cherry Valley (for out-oftowners, the town of Leicester is divided into three villages of which the nearest to Worcester is Cherry Valley), Eller’s can

be easy to miss, but with friendly service, a comfortable welcoming atmosphere, and enormous portions of comfort foods, Worcester diners should turn to this restaurant when looking to please a crowd.

Victor and I visited Eller’s on a whim one Friday night. The restaurant had come recommended to me by locals who rave about its fish and chips and prime rib. After pacing Route 9 and driving past the restaurant twice, we finally spotted Eller’s tucked into a large, car-dealershiplike lot with a small sign. Strolling in at about 5:30 in the evening, Victor and I were seated immediately. The restaurant is divided into a large dining area on the left with a partition for large parties and a lively bar and lounge on the right, with an open kitchen flanking the dining area. We were greeted immediately by our server and brought fresh, extremely hot dinner rolls. Glancing over the menu it was clear that the main focus of Eller’s is on meat, potatoes and comfort foods, so we prepared to stuff ourselves. We began with a special appetizer that

LIVE MUSIC June 29th - Gerard Magnarelli • House ouse Mixers $4.50 • Fish & Chips Every Friday • Catering and Take-Out Available • Now Offering 10 Beers on Tap • 7 HD TVs

is popular, according to our server, called “BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Quesadilla,” which is exactly what you’d expect from the name— ground beef, bacon, a sweet barbecue sauce and heaps of gooey cheese, pressed into a crispy, thin flour tortilla. The appetizer is served with sour cream and a mild salsa, and would probably be more appropriate for a party of four. The quesadilla was exorbitant, but good, as the flaky tortilla shell held in the contents just right, although the flavor of bacon overwhelmed almost every bite. The menu at Eller’s is large and priced low, with appetizers mostly ranging at $7 or $8, and not a single entrée on the menu hitting $20. Having had his fill of meat for the evening, Victor opted for the cheese lasagna which came served over a rich pasta sauce and a single meatball ($13). The lasagna was at least two-inches thick, with some three layers of cheeses divided by thick sheets of pasta. The baseball-sized home-made meatball was a good side, but overwhelmed by a sweet, chunky pasta sauce. I figured that if I was going to gorge

myself on the BBQ quesadilla, then I may as well go all the way; I ordered the special, Prime Rib Sheppard’s Pie ($13). This entrée is delivered in a large, deep dish with a lavish amount of mashed potatoes served over corn, onions, bacon bits, and of course, prime rib—delicately shaved and chopped into small bits, which quickly assimilated with the potatoes to make one messy, but delicious treat. Bacon, though, seems to be the theme at Eller’s, and while bacon does usually make everything better, in this meal, the bacon flavor overwhelmed the prime rib, so any ground beef probably would have served the same purpose. Eller’s Restaurant and Family Dining does a great job at being honest with themselves, a family restaurant that serves enormous portions. If Worcester area diners have a hankering for comfort foods at more than reasonable prices, Eller’s in Leices..., err, Cherry Valley, is worth visiting.

oes size really matter? If so, then places such as Oregon would be considered very impressive. With vineyards totaling nearly 14,000 acres and much of that dedicated to the production of pinot noir, the state certainly has something to boast about. Located in the Pacific Northwest, Oregon has been a force in the wine industry since the 1960s and is now considered a destination for world-class wine.

Specializing in French varietals, Oregon has found its mark with pinot noir, the famed red of Burgundy, France. In fact, some of the best pinot noir in the United States can be found in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, a state that ranks second in the production of pinot noir. What’s more, pinot noir wines are among the most popular in the world. The soft, silky, aromatic nature of pinot noir has prompted critics and wine lovers alike to describe it as “sex in a glass.” Well, I don’t know if I would go that far. But suffice it to say, pinot noir appeals to a wide range of consumers. Most pinot noirs tend to be light to medium bodied offering hints of spice, cherry, raspberry, violets and current. The wine pairs well with a wide range of foods. From a juicy steak to a tender piece of salmon, Pinot Noir is a perfect accompaniment. If you’re new to wine then pinot noir is a great place to start. The lighter body usually means you won’t experience overpowering things such as tannin or alcohol levels. Best of all you can find many wellOF THE WEEK made pinot noirs at reasonable prices. Renowned wine writer Robert Parker has been quoted Gascon Malbec, as saying, “When it’s great, pinot noir produces Argentina complex, hedonistic and remarkably thrilling red about $13. wine.” So who wouldn’t be envious?

Fusion Bellydance has grown in popularity in recent years. It is slinky, sexy, and spiritual all at the same time; a wonderful way to express the Divine Feminine through dance. The “Fusion” in Tribal Fusion Bellydance is what makes this style appealing to many creative dancers, but also difficult to define. While there are very few rules in Tribal Fusion, the one constant is that the dancer should be versed in American Tribal Style (ATS) Bellydance as taught by Carolena Nericcio of FatChance BellyDance. In this class, Baseema brings us back to the roots of Tribal. She will teach choreographies whose movements come straight from ATS combinations. Baseema will first teach how they’re danced in an ATS group performance, and then how they can be modified for individual choreographies. This class is highly recommended for ALL Tribal Fusion dancers who want to know where their art form comes from, and who want to give more authenticity to their dance. to pre-register, email: thegypsyscauldron@yahoo.com Tuition for this series is due on or before the first night of class, July 3rd. Cash, check, debit, and credit cards are accepted. You may mail in a registration check to The Gypsy’s Cauldron, 117 Main St, Spencer MA 01562 $50 for 4 weeks. 7-8:15 p.m. The Gypsy’s Cauldron, 117 Main St., Second Floor, Spencer. 508-885-3639 or thegypsyscauldron.com.

Adrien Finlay Adrien Finlay comes from a large family. His mother was an art teacher and his father was—and still is—town manager of Smithfield, R.I. Growing up about 30 minutes outside of Worcester, Finlay developed a love for the arts at an early age. His passions led him to double major in music and French at Harvard University. He has recently been named the new executive director for Music Worcester Inc., and we just had to bend his creative ear with a few quick questions.

Was music a passion of yours when you were growing up? Yes, absolutely! I

grew up playing piano and clarinet and had private instruction in both. My main piano teachers where Robert Boberg, then at Rhode Island College, and Mary Sadovnikoff, who taught privately as well as at the Music School. My clarinet teacher was Kathy Vallee, who is in the American Band. Music became a passion early on for my immediate family, and attendance at performances was a regular part of my youth. I distinctly remember a few events, including my first concerts at Veterans Auditorium in Providence with Garrick Ohlsson performing Chopin with the Rhode Island Philharmonic, and a recital by Richard Goode at Ozawa Hall at Tanglewood.

Describe your professional background. I knew during my college years that I wanted to spend my life in the arts. To that end, I tried as best I could to gain exposure to various genres, different types of organizations, and multiple areas of operations. I sought summer employment in box-office positions while still in college and made a point of trying to gain perspective by working for festivals, opera companies, chamber music organizations, and symphonies. My most recent position was

leading a regional orchestra outside of Washington, D.C. Prior positions included ones at Glimmerglass Opera, Portland Chamber Music Festival (Maine), American University Department of Performing Arts, Wolf Trap Opera Company, and the Newport Music Festival.

What is your favorite musical piece and why? My answer would absolutely change if you asked me tomorrow, but here it goes. At the moment two things I can’t stop listening to are Horatio Gutierrez’ recording of the Prokofiev “Piano Concerto No. 2” and Birgit Nilsson’s “live” recording from Bayreuth of Wagner’s “Tristan & Isolde” led by Karl Bohm. Both are stunning displays of unrivaled musicmaking in my opinion, and I get an adrenaline rush still from listening no matter what’s on my mind.

How did you first hear about Music Worcester Inc.? Music Worcester first

came to my attention earlier this spring as I was checking out opportunities in the arts. The more I learned about the organization, the more I became fascinated with its history and capacity. This of course led to my application to serve as executive director, and I could not be happier with the board members who I have worked with so far,

including Joel Popkin and Peter Metz, and the legendary executive director Stasia Hovenensian.

Why do you feel it is important for Worcester to have its own musical organization? My recent visits to

Worcester reminded me of several key ideas that are so easy to overlook in the daily grind of nonprofit work. First, there is a sense of community in greater Worcester that is apparent even at a first glance and that fortunately manifests itself into significant support for the community organizations and nonprofits of the area. Second, the amazing musical history of not just Music Worcester, but of Worcester at large, going back to the early 1800s and before, must be emphasized—whether current residents of greater Worcester know it or not, true legends in music have been part of Worcester’s cultural heritage from the very beginning. Third, the arts as a whole serve as a means for us all to be inspired and/or entertained, and allow us to understand and conceptualize ideas far greater than ourselves. Music can do this and more, and every community deserves great art—to borrow a recent National Endowment for the Arts tagline.

What are you plans/thoughts for Music Worcester? This question has been on

my mind more than any other, as there are different factors at play and they sometimes seem to be competing. First, the extraordinary history of Music Worcester must be remembered and acknowledged. Second, this historical background must be discussed in the context of current trends in the arts and in the context of continuing to operate Music Worcester in a fiscally responsible manner. Third, the relationship between Music Worcester, its programs, and its community of supporters will occupy my thoughts

significantly when I arrive on August 1.

Anything you are particularly excited about in the upcoming 153rd Worcester Music Festival? Oh my goodness, yes.

To be clear, this 2012-2013 season has been programmed by Stasia Hovenensian, and I am so thankful for her leadership. From having the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba on its first tour of the United States to jazz pianist Jason Moran, from the iconic Academy of St. Martin in the Fields with cellist Alisa Weilerstein to fiddling virtuoso Natalie MacMaster— the season honestly has something for everyone, and here again we arrive at the history of Music Worcester.

What are your hopes for the future of Music Worcester? I hope that the

organization can capitalize on its recent, and past, successes to continue to thrive—in every way possible. I hope that my time at Music Worcester will generate increased attendance, continued acknowledgement of our serious artistic programming that brings artists of the highest quality to Worcester, and continued recognition of the organization as an important cultural resource for greater Worcester.
