orcester, it’s time to put up or shut up. In this city, political fidelity comes in a close second to allegiance to the Red Sox and Celtics. So why all the negativity? From blogs to comments to the radio, the average Worcesterite complains about his or her representation, only to re-elect those same folks they complained about before. Either the candidates offer little advantage over the incumbents or the complainers represent a very small part of the city. Like 2009, Election Day will put the incumbents to the test, as 20 names will appear on the primary ballot. Unlike 2009, this field is diverse in terms of age, ethnicity, background and location. 2012 could be the year that the City Council more closely reflects a Worcester that has changed significantly since the city-manager form of government was instituted in the 1940s, or it could be another year of whining, complaining and then not doing anything about it. We’ve got the candidates here, the next step is yours. Jeremy Shulkin | Senior Writer Reporting from Cambridge, England

at 12 Queen St., which was opened after the People in Peril shelter, also operated by SMOC, closed after a tumultuous two decades in the Main South area earlier this year. Once SMOC’s interest in the MLK building was expressed, businesses and residents alike became concerned that SMOC would designate some of the MLK building’s more than 40,000 square feet to a new triage center and shelter. “It was clear that putting a full-blown wet shelter in a dense business and residential urban neighborhood was not the correct course of action; why has this thinking changed?” asks Chandler Street Business Association president Paul Collyer. Several meetings have been held between the MLK, SMOC and city officials to address the concerns attached to the use of the MLK building. Yet according to Councilor At Large Konstantina Lukes, who was present at a meeting between officials and SMOC, “MLK and SMOC were not real honest with us. Their answers are real vague.” Lukes was one of several city and state
officials present at a meeting held Monday at the Pho Hein Buddhist Temple on Dewey Street to discuss concerns and rumors about the developing story. “If you believe SMOC, you are better people than I,” Lukes went on to say, adding, “I would be very wary and suspicious of anything they say.” With that in mind, Lukes encouraged business owners and residents to be “vigilant” in their efforts. At the same meeting Collyer revealed that SMOC had said clearly that it did not intend to bring the triage center to the MLK location, if purchased. However that promise still has not allayed fears about the MLK building’s future. “We want to keep the triage center where it is,” Mayor Joseph C. O’Brien says. “It should be in an institutional setting. [But] if it’s not going to be a triage center, what is it going to be?” Also at the meeting was Worcester’s First District State Senator Harriette Chandler. Chandler commented that she had dealt with SMOC before and said the organization

A tree grows in Worcester C. Kelleher Harris
I
n the last three years Worcester has had a lot of problems with trees. First, in August of 2008 the Asian Long Horned Beetle was discovered in Worcester, devastating thousands of area trees and still continues to wreak havoc. Then after the December 2008 crippling ice storm, trees across the region were destroyed or had to be cut down in the aftermath. Little wonder then that many residents and city officials are working hard to preserve the cities trees and ensure that the city becomes even greener. The issue of tree preservation was recently raised at the July 12 city council meeting. A 2008 ordinance handed down by the city, created in the wake of the ice storm, came into question after a resident’s request to cut down an allegedly menacing tree was disputed. The 2008 ordinance, Section 28 of Chapter 12 Revised Ordinances of 2008, entitled Protection of Public Trees reads, “The city council recognizes the importance of an urban forest and that in the city’s ecosystem, trees contribute to air quality, reduce noise and
visual pollution, help to moderate climatic extremes and conserve energy. The city’s public trees enhance the visual and aesthetic attributes of streets, parks and other public places for residents, businesses and visitors.� The ordinance also says that its role is to provide “regulation of the planting, maintenance and removal of public trees.� Exceptions are made in cases where trees are requested to be cut, trimmed or removed because of safety or health concerns. Late last year residents of Wetherell Street approached Worcester’s Parks, Recreation and Cemetery Division concerning a tree on the sidewalk near their home which had proven to be a safety issue, the residents also stated the tree was unhealthy. “The whole root system is above ground [but] you can’t see it until you’ve tripped on it,� says one senior citizen who filed the petition for the trees removal. She went on to say that she herself had fallen several times because of the tree, including once severely damaging her knee. But she was not merely interested in her own safety and convenience. “When we filed the petition our continued on page 8

could be a force to be reckoned with. “We need to set this straight,” Chandler told officials. “You’ve worked too hard to make Chandler Street what it is. We must hold SMOC’s feet to the fire.” Chandler went on to say that SMOC had the law on its side and was particularly protected by the Dewey Amendment, which gives SMOC the right to basically settle where they wish and operate how they wish because they are a nonprofit group. Chandler even cited instances where SMOC and other towns have gone to court over similar issues, and SMOC was victorious. But the Chandler Street’s business owners and resident’s zeal has not been doused by SMOC’s potential power. “This is going to happen,” said Councilor-
At-Large Frederick Rushton. “And it’s going to happen the right way.” “Working together, we can do this if we stay united in our focus,” said Councilor-AtLarge Kathleen Toomey. Collyer stated that some discussions at previous meetings were still private, but indicated that there would be more definitive answers “within a couple weeks.” In the meantime Collyer called for the formation of a Chandler Street Business Association five-member sub-committee to continue to work with city officials on the issue. Several public officials at the meeting encouraged people to stay informed and vigilant in their mission. “They (SMOC) are very sensitive to public opinion,” Chandler said. SMOC could not be reached for comment.

intention was the safety of children and the elderly and to protect our city sidewalk that was only put in seven years ago,” said the Wetherell Street homeowner. Parks, Recreation and Cemetery Division Assistant Commissioner Robert Antonelli Jr., informed the residents that after filing a petition for the city, the tree would be inspected by the tree warden and then a hearing would be held. According to District Five Councilor William Eddy, tree issues are a frequent occurrence. “I get more calls about trees then I know what to do with,” Eddy said, “This happens all the time.” Eddy went on to say that Worcester’s parks and recreation division did an “excellent” job in association with the forestry service in fielding and accessing the many citizen concerns about tree trimming, planting and removal. After the Wetherell Street tree was examined and documented by the tree warden, it was decided that the tree should, in fact, be removed, and Antonelli agreed with the findings. Some questions were raised about the city’s finding however. At the July 12 meeting a petitioner simply referred to as “Mrs. White” approached the City Council and asked if they had the ability as a council to override Antonelli’s finding.
After discussion it was decided that legally the city council did not have that right. “I respect the process,” Eddy said, “I’m not going to get involved in second guessing. They followed the process and I respect that.” “It’s important for people to see that not just anybody can come in and get a tree cut down, there is a process,” said Councilor At-Large Kathleen Toomey, who called the questions raised “part of the public process.” Toomey also said that she trusted Antonelli’s judgment. In addition to the Wetherell tree being removed, one tree will be planted in its place and nine other trees will be planted in the neighborhood as well. In such instances when the city finds that it is necessary to in fact remove a tree, the ordinance states that all costs are the responsibility of the petitioner. Eddy went on to comment that he felt Worcester was taking a healthier approach toward urban forestry in general. “We’re planting trees all over the place,” said Eddy, “But it’s important that we plant smartly. You can’t just plant trees, we’re careful about the type of tree and [where it’s placed].” The Wetherell Street petitioner stated that tree replacement was vital as well. “[We have to replace it] so that the next generation will have a beautiful tree to enjoy,” she said.

Murray Voices Support for Cellucci, Commends Local ALS Research: In January, former Massachusetts Governor Paul Cellucci announced that he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Since his announcement, the former ambassador to Canada has worked hard to promote and support groundbreaking ALS research being done right here in the commonwealth. Last week, Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray issued a press release in which he offered support and admiration for Cellucci, with whom he began a “professional friendship” when Cellucci was elected governor and Murray was on the Worcester City Council. “Now he is facing this disease with grace, strength and the sense of public purpose that has always defined [his] character,” Murray said. Murray drew attention to the fact that Cellucci has launched a project to support the work of Dr. Robert Brown, chair of the UMass Medical School’s Department of Neurology. “Dr. Brown and the team at UMass have made important breakthroughs in understanding the processes of ALS,” Murray said. Murray encouraged all to support the research. More information can be obtained at umassals.com.

O’Brien Campaign Calls on a Familiar Face: The campaign to re-elect Mayor Joe O’Brien announced last week that it has hired a new campaign coordinator, Zoe Magid. Magid has several successful campaign bids on her resume, including O’Brien’s initial mayoral run in 2009, Congressman Michael Capuano’s senate campaign, Congressman James McGovern’s successful re-election campaign in 2010, and the Patrick-Murray 2010 gubernatorial campaign. “I am excited to bring on board Zoe as we gear up for what will be a competitive 2011 city council and mayoral race. Our campaign is moving into full gear with the hiring of Ms. Magid, and we were extremely excited to have more than 200 supporters at our campaign kickoff on June 23. We are looking forward to running a very competitive race,” said O’Brien.
Coleman on Ballot:
On Monday, Devin Coleman officially joined the race for City Councilor At-Large, when he turned in a collection of 1,100 signatures to secure his spot on the ballot. “I am grateful to the 1,100 Worcester residents who signed my petition,” said Coleman. “I believe this shows that what I’ve been hearing over the past year and a half is true. We need new blood on the city council … it’s hard to ignore the fact that this is what Worcester residents want.” Coleman has spent the last month personally scouring the city for signatures. Coleman said that because he was actually the candidate and not a volunteer, people were more open and responsive. “[Residents] had the chance to voice their concerns and ask me questions directly,” Coleman commented. Coleman said he is confident that he has what it takes to win the election. This puts Coleman on the ballot with Stephen Buchalter, Michael Monfredo, Konstantina Lukes (incumbent), James Kersten, Joseph Petty (incumbent), Kathleen Toomey (incumbent), Frederick Rushton (incumbent) and Carmen Carmona. Primaries will be held on September 20.
Roemer to Make Presidential Bid: Former Republican Louisiana Governor Charles “Buddy” Roemer announced that he will officially put in his bid for the 2012 Presidential Campaign. Speaking at the Worcester County Republican Club meeting, “I’ve paid all my bills, I’ve got a little money in the bank, and I’m ready to go to war,” he said. The former Democrat switched parties during his four-year tenure as Louisiana governor from 1988 to 1992. Roemer promised to run on a platform of job creation and fair trade, saying he would create trade adjustments and do away with tax loopholes for large corporations who operate in foreign countries. “They laugh at you in Washington,” he said, pointing to the lack of understanding by Washington politicians of real grass-roots issues and concerns.

word, if I may, about a subject that will surely have fan and foe alike: the tattoo. More specifically, the tattooed female. I am among the latter. Quite frankly, I hate the look. I risk offending some very lovely women, a few of whom work for this publication, but I feel compelled to mouth off about this trend after finding myself surrounded by inked flesh. Recently, John and I were sitting in the courtyard at Vincent’s, which, for those readers unfamiliar with the turf, is a funky little bar tucked away on Suffolk Street. Vincent’s tends to attract equally funky patrons who appreciate the eclectic and the quirky; there are enough stuffed birds, possums and raccoons gracing its walls to elicit the envy of both Ed Gein and Norman Bates. At one point in our conversation I looked up from the world’s greatest meatball sandwich and realized that all the women in view were tattooed. Now I’m not talking about the occasional rose drawn on an ankle, or the tiny shamrock etched into a backside – I’m talking about great patches of skin covered with intricate designs. Whole arms were permanently stained with images, both shoulders sported symbols chosen by their owners to represent themselves in some way. Now far be it from me to take away from the skill involved in engraving a unicorn onto a bicep, but I have to wonder if these women have really thought this out. As a self-professed accessory queen, I love nothing more than the thrill of buying new shoes. I love ’em, can’t have enough of ’em, and my closet is crammed full of ’em. But every few months, I fill a shopping bag with the ones that no longer thrill me and it’s off to Goodwill I go. I tire of certain styles; sometimes it’s the color or the height of the heel that no longer suits me. Whatever the reason, my point is this: if I can’t commit to a pair of shoes, why would I ever opt to turn my body into a permanent billboard? There’s no design I wouldn’t regret – not “MOM,” not a butterfly, not my kid’s names, not even a dead friend. I have to think the sweet young thing who sat

in front of us will eventually regret the twisted variation of the cow jumping over the moon that emblazons a vast chunk of her back. The moon eating the cow might have seemed rebellious and uber-cool at the time, but someday, she’ll probably be a mom, and her kids will have nightmares unless she backs out of the room after saying goodnight. And won’t that look grand when she slips into a wedding dress? I’ve attended several weddings that showcased bridesmaids sporting more tattoos than a fleet of sailors on Cinderella liberty. Here’s what I’ve noticed: no matter how much money is spent choosing just the right colors, eventually all tattoos turn blue. Now before I get mail from every tattoo parlor east of the Mississippi, let me say that I’ve heard all the objections to this statement, how touch-ups can keep the colors fresh, how protecting the design from the sun can preserve the artwork… yada, yada. They all turn blue. All the sunscreen in the universe isn’t going to stop good ol’ gravity. That skull with the crown of thorns may be located due north of a nipple today, but it’s destined to travel south in a few decades. That bar code so seductively sketched within inches of the nether region will look silly when it slips and sags its way toward a kneecap, and those angel wings might get clipped during hip replacement surgery. “Born to Raise Hell” on skin flaps will be tough to read when the words are tucked under a colostomy bag. I’m probably in the minority about this, though I did ask John if he found tattooed women attractive. He grimaced. That’s two of us. I do hear opportunity knocking, though, and when I retire from teaching I plan to supplement my income by hanging out a shingle that reads: NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON’T TATTOOS REMOVED WHILE-U-WAIT I’ll be rolling in dough.

The first pool’s members are 100 percent white (non-Hispanic). The average age of the members in this pool is 53.7 years old. Males dominate two thirds of its population. Considering ethnicity, well more than half of its members come from Irish backgrounds with the next largest group—18 percent of the pool—coming from Italian descent. Most of the members of this pool live on the west side of the city. Group two’s population comes in at 60 percent Caucasian, 21 percent Hispanic, 10 percent African American and 6 percent Asian. Its median age has held at 33.4 years old for the past 20 years. The male-to-female ratio is as close to 50/50 as you’ll find amongst a sample size this large. One group represents Worcester’s 17 elected officials on the city council and school committee, the other data comes from the city’s 2010 census figures. Guess which one is which? “The city has not been a very reflective

Diaz ran for school committee, while Kola Akindele’s spirited campaign for city council only netted him eighth place when he needed to finish among the top six. The city has taken steps to infuse some kind of diversity among its elected officials, most notably with a change of city government in the 1980s. In response to complaints that nearly all of the city’s decision makers lived on the west side, the charter added five district councilors to the city’s governing body. Those involved in the change specifically targeted the inner-city District 4 as an area ripe for minority representation. But it never materialized. Redistricting soon removed Plumley Village and the Lakeside apartments while adding a block across Park Avenue to the district’s boundaries. “Nobody was watching,” Perez laments. “You split up the [electoral] power in that neighborhood.” None of this will change overnight, but
serve to stimulate change, however, even if the minority candidate loses.”
WHO RUNS THIS TOWN? Currently, Worcester does have a political machine that new candidates continuously butt heads with, but it’s not as entrenched as one might think. In fact, it’s made up of relatively young decision makers. Nowadays, “the machine,” depending on who you speak with, has some amalgamation of former mayor and current Lieutenant Governor Tim Murray, Congressman Jim McGovern and former state senator and former McGovern political director Ed Augustus watching over local politics.

1998 and again in 2000. Juan Gomez, of Puerto Rican and Dominican descent, served out the remainder of her second term and was re-elected in 2002 and 2004. Before them, Betty Price in 1973 and Shirley Wright and Ogretta McNeil in the 1990s were all African American women who made their way onto the school committee, offering some hope for a more representative government. Stacking these five successful candidates among recent Latinos and African American attempts reveals the trail hasn’t smoothed out. Before assuming his place on the council, Gomez lost three times in the 1990s. Sam Rosario lost a 1999 school-committee bid and a 2005 council challenge. José Perez lost a run for school committee in 1997. Maritza Cruz lost in her race for city council in 1999. Bill Coleman has run for multiple levels of government since the late 1970s, losing each time. Calvin Hill ran for school committee in 2007 and lost. In 2009, Rob
a remarkable amount of people who buck the old Worcester trend have made the ballot this year as city-council and schoolcommittee candidates. They are young, diverse and live in underrepresented parts of the city. Most of them have a long, difficult campaign ahead and most – if not all – won’t get elected. But as Juan Gomez wrote in an essay from the book Latino Politics in Massachusetts: Struggles, Strategies and Prospects: “Elections often
“It’s very incestuous,” says one local political adviser of the scene in the second largest city in New England, indicating that campaign support revolves around blood relations or “best buds growing up.” “If you’re not part of a certain political party or network, it’s very hard to break in,” says Perez who’s serving as campaign manager for Sarai Rivera, a first-time challenger to Barbara Haller’s District 4 seat.

Even in a city that’s overwhelmingly democratic, Perez and other political gadflies say old-school traditional politics have hardly made the party inclusive. The Democratic City Committee has an overwhelmingly white membership, and Hispanic and African American candidates have had difficulty seeking endorsements from many labor unions. It’s not news to the Democratic City Committee either. “The Worcester Democratic City Committee is having the conversation that [Democratic Town Committees] across the commonwealth are starting to grapple with how to engage the next generation of Democrats and do STEVEN KING

affairs, the more connections that candidates have to party activists boosts them come Election Day. With a Democratic City Committee that encourages new blood, many candidates this year would have a wealth of activists ready to raise money and guide them through a campaign season. But in interviews with this year’s runners, it doesn’t seem like that’s the case.
more than blood relation or ancestry, it’s simply incredibly difficult to knock off an incumbent. In the 2009 municipal election, only one seat out of 11 on the council changed, and only because the three-term councilor Gary Rosen stepped down, creating a vacancy. On the six-member school committee (the mayor serves as the seventh and chairperson), only one incumbent did not see himself re-elected. In the past six years, only three city councilors have vacated their seat by losing an election. This hasn’t stopped a number of new faces from not only pulling papers but also turning in signatures and starting city-council and school-committee campaigns. Some are Latino or African American, many are young, and a few live in areas of the city that haven’t produced a sitting councilor in a long, long time – if ever. “[Voters] want to see a fresh face,” says Devin Coleman, a 21-year-old Clark student and at-large candidate originally from New Hampshire, but whose family has strong ties to Worcester. Coleman has had a campaign kickoff and started door knocking, and so far he says his age hasn’t been an issue. Credit his mature appearance and disposition, but he chalks it up to voters sick of “stagnation” among the council. “When we originally started, people said you’d have to have a way to answer, ‘What do you know?’” he explains, but “the umbrella answer is if you know what you’re talking about, then it doesn’t matter how old you are.” (Younger candidates running for office is not such a new trend – Tim Murray was 29 when elected to the city council in 1997, and Joff Smith was 24 when elected.) Timothy Beaudion, a 26 year old at-large candidate says he doesn’t “explicitly” address his age, but it does come up organically from face-to-face campaigning. To him, the reaction runs the gamut from excitement about his youth to something worth joking about, but it’s never a negative. “Older folks say ‘It’s good to see fresh faces and see what they can do,’” he offers.

encouraging about that.” It could help that his campaign stumping revolves around health care and taxes – two topics always on older voters’ minds. “If we want to have a vibrant cultural community, then we need to get our house in order,” says Kersten, who would like to see more long-term fiscal planning by the city, including the tax rate which the council sets each winter.

The following names will appear on the September 20th primary ballot. previous bosses State Rep. Vincent Pedone and former State Rep. Timothy Leary. When asked if this makes Kersten a part of the political domination that’s held younger, fresher faces from winning seats, he pushes back. “These people I worked with are friends of mine,” he admits, “[but] whenever you’re challenging six entrenched incumbents, you’re not part of the good old boys.” Gabe Rollins, 38, has a different perspective on the city because he lives in an area that many are unfamiliar with and hasn’t had local representation in decades, if ever: downtown. In fact, his lack of a “neighborhood” tipped him in favor of running at-large rather than for the District 2 seat, though he does say people would be surprised at how much of a residential community has developed around Federal Square. (Another at-large candidate living downtown, Carmen Carmona, has made the September ballot but couldn’t be reached for this story.) Even that distinct difference from other candidates hasn’t caused much of a stir. “I haven’t had a lot of reaction to it yet,” he says. “Honestly, people just seem excited that there are people running.” He’s asked if people wonder about what it’s like to live in the seedy and crime-filled downtown. He says they don’t.

“I kind of wish they would,” he laments, so he could tell them that the perception is worse than the reality. One of the most closely watched races this fall will take place in District 4, as challenger Sarai Rivera takes on fiveterm incumbent Barbara Haller, pitting two active voices in the area against each other. Worcester prides itself on the number of countries represented in its school system (nearly 100), but the lack of representation “has come up by constituents in the city,” says Rivera. Rivera is a Worcester-raised Puerto Rican. “People began to notice.” She understands that as the challenger, she’s already facing an uphill battle, not to mention one that’s against an opponent who’s running for her fifth term, has a support base and connections among “the machine.” “You understand it for the situation it is,” she says matter-of-factly. “[But] when it comes down to it, who votes? The people.” If there’s anyone who knows what lies ahead for these candidates, it’s Kola Akindele, a 2009 at-large council candidate whose combination of youth and African American background attracted a number of voters. Despite running what’s considered a successful campaign, Akindele finished in eighth
place. If his campaign revealed anything, it’s that “success” for a candidate outside the traditional mold means not winning. He believes his campaign focused on the issues, and voters were more concerned about “things that affect their daily lives,” rather than his age or race. “It wasn’t that I wanted to avoid it, but I didn’t want to bring it up,” he says.

says of the article.) “It wasn’t as important as what I stood for or wanted to do on the city council.” Akindele does admit that he did want to show a little bit of his youth. “I wanted to make it clear that we needed a fresh perspective on the city council” to aid in transparency and bringing new solutions to old problems. Finding money and volunteers will plague these new candidates, Akindele knows, but he’s impressed by who’s running, pointing out that it means people in underserved communities want their voices heard. “It shows people are starting to get engaged…it’s a plus, whether or not they win or get enough signatures.”

contacted for this story, a number of African American—including retries by Bill Coleman (no relation to new-comer Devin Coleman) and Hill—Latino and young candidates have pulled papers. One example of a candidate who’s caught the eye of both important demographics, Latinos and members of the political elite, is Hilda Ramirez, the director of the Youth Center who’s running for school committee. As of press time, Ramirez and Hill haven’t been listed on the September primary ballot, but Coleman has gathered enough signatures for an at-large bid.
Does that qualify as progress? Based on the number of “untraditional Worcester” candidates who’ve attempted to find a seat on the city council and school committee within the past 15 years, the problem isn’t that no one’s running; it’s that few make it past that step. In 1901, Worcesterites elected mayor Philip O’Connell, an Irish-Catholic Democrat whose own nomination the year before caused within his own party an enthusiasm gap so wide that newspaper reports from the 1900 convention wrote that his candidacy was not met with celebration, but rather “the stillness of a graveyard.” Others thought he’d lose the election in a landslide, calling it “party suicide.” But O’Connell’s surprise run-off victory after a dead-even 1900 election startled many and signaled that an Irish-Catholic could win major office in Worcester over the “Yankee” business owners and manufacturers without the help of a Citizen Slate. The change wasn’t immediately well received. After the Irish-Catholic victory, a large crowd gathered outside city hall where a well-known hobo-like character named Push Brown often hung around. “Wait until [William] McKinnley comes to Worcester,” he shouted to the throng, happily suggesting that O’Connell could introduce the recently elected President and tout forthcoming Irish political rule. “St. Patrick will get some recognition from the democracy of Worcester!” As he shouted, his remarks met jeers. He then charged $5 to fight anyone in the crowd. O’Connell had a short tenure as mayor, and the Irish Catholics didn’t regain the seat until the 1920s, showing that even when a new group reaches office it’s difficult to stay. Perez includes himself amongst the number of Latinos optimistic about their chances this year, but history is hard to shake off and even harder to hold on to when it shakes back.
But is getting signatures still enough?

Windows into the Creative Soul Paul Grignon
Starting on August 1, scattered along the boulevards of downtown Worcester, one can witness an abundance of artwork on display culled from the many creative spirits who inhabit this thriving metropolis through Worcester Windows. This new exhibit within a year-long program offers a plethora of paintings, prints, photography, collage and sculpture in the storefronts of businesses along Main Street and surrounding avenues.
This extensive exhibition is made possible by more than 40 organizations in Worcester, including the Worcester Cultural Coalition, allowing established and emerging artists to display their work in various storefronts in the city. Worcester Windows is a program that raises the awareness of this city as a creative force by bringing artwork to the public, showcasing local talent, and establishing itself as a true community gallery. The artwork displayed is rotated every few months, and the latest trove of talent can be found far and wide, from Lucky’s Café on Grove Street to the Hanover on Main, to Nu Café on Chandler, as well as Franklin and Irving streets. Curated by Catherine Wilcox-Titus, Ph.D., the director of Worcester State University gallery, and student intern Bethany Strothers, Worcester Windows will be shown at 15 locations around the city with more than 35 participating artists. In conjunction with the entire project, the Worcester Photography Group will present its show, Architecture of Worcester curated by Scott Erb and Donna Dufault, in the new gallery space in the basement of city hall. “The Worcester Windows program has become an arm of the WSU gallery,”
Art Glimpsed through Glass
Wilcox-Titus says. “Besides the sidewalk windows, a variety of venues are now included such as the interior rooms of the Worcester Academy of Music on Irving Street.” At Lucky’s Café, Kathy Hebert displays her exquisite oil landscapes, still-lifes and portraits, paintings captured in lush and emotive tones. “Zelma’s Tulips” vividly

I look for contrasts, and want to capture the mood of the subject matter.” In “Spongeboat,” Hebert presents a vessel moored along a wharf, where deep swaths of shadow play brilliantly against patches of sunlight, perhaps a morning calm before setting out upon the sea. The diagonal elements provide a pleasing composition, a snapshot of a boat docked against a shred of pale lavender sky.

A meandering azure tributary, lined with muted melancholic sea grass, leads toward a distant farm as skeletal trees pierce the wan blue heavens. Peter Wise presents a wealth of work at both Bay State Savings Bank and Nu Café. His work is quite evocative, recalling forgotten memories, moments unlocked from the unconscious. He works in oils, mixed media and assemblage. “M. Rousseau at the Bridge of Sighs,” an oil on panel, is reminiscent of Chirico and Chagall, with its dream-like atmosphere and striking imagery. “I try to walk a line between informed methods of expression and creating work that is not completely removed from comprehension by average viewers,” Wise explains. In “Vincent” and “Mi Corazon Es Tuyo,” nods to both
Rauschenberg and Johns are visible, with the use of various materials. “Devolution,” by Anne LapradeSeuthe, is a further exploration of her map paintings. Here, the map of the world is juxtaposed with what appears to be a coelacanth, a fish thought to be extinct for millions of years. This Lazarus taxon perhaps hints at the possibility of mankind to reappear, once the disintegration of modern society is complete. The land masses seem to be hot zones of war, famine and the juggernaut of global warming. In the bottom right quadrant, a spectral modern human skull hovers in the pitch darkness of the seas below Australia, and perhaps, like the coelacanth, it hints of man’s future rise from the darkness that currently pervades our planet. Not to be missed is the exhibit by the Worcester Photography Group, where 24 photographers will display their respective take on the varied and intricate architecture of this city. Images such as Troy Thompson’s “Bancroft Tower at Dusk” reminds one of feudal castles strewn amongst the moorlands of Scotland, ruins wreathed in mist on a wintry moonlit nocturne. In sharp contrast is Michael McCool’s “Blue-Red, Tammany Hall,” depicting this vibrant edifice in a superb composition of vertical and horizontal lines, broken only by the exceptional masonry of both column and arch to its threshold. “St. Gobain,” by Fred Martins, is a startling black-and-white image that magnificently captures this strange construction in bold and vivid contrast. Many other spectacular images grace these walls, as well as in the storefronts of numerous businesses around the city. The sheer wealth of art presented in this extensive exhibit certainly attests to the exceptional and talented artists found right here in Worcester. The new Worcester Windows exhibit begins August 1.

Are you a fan of all things furry? Do you enjoy a good drink? Then do I have the charity for you: head over to Jak’s Pub on Sundays between 5 and 9 p.m. for their charity Open Mic Night to support the Worcester Animal Rescue League.
It all started back in April when Jak’s Pub owner Rob Rosenberg approached the people at the Worcester Animal Rescue League about setting up a benefit to help the more than 2,500 homeless animals the shelter cares for each year. The Worcester Animal Rescue League, which turns 100 years old next year, is a no-kill, limited intake shelter that survives on donations alone. According to the shelter’s director, Allie Tellier, there are 120 animals currently being served in-house and in foster care, with about 40 of them looking

Rosenberg began with the idea to fundraise for the city’s K-9 and searchand-rescue dogs, but “as it turns out, they’re one in the same, and for the entire city of Worcester there were only like two dogs.” Rosenberg decided to shift the charity’s focus to shelter pets. “I took a tour [at the Worcester Animal Rescue League],” Rosenberg says. As someone who has worked with veterinarians in the past, he knew right away that he wanted to work with the organization. “You get to be able to tell the character of a place—you know, the spirit of it—and it just seemed like a really nice place.” Monica Hamilton, the shelter’s new special events manager, helped Rosenberg put his idea for a charity open-mic night into action.

No gimmicks needed for this modern retelling Cowboys and Aliens Grade: A David Wildman
It’s probably no accident that the best big budget action film so far this summer is not in freaking 3D. With a cast that boasts two legitimate box office superstars in Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford, a posse of six screenwriters that includes veterans of “Lost”, the latest “Star Trek” and “Iron Man”, as well as that film’s high quality director Jon Favreau, “Cowboys and Aliens” needs no gimmicks. It’s true that the title sounds like a possible setup for silly violence and inane shoot-em-ups, and going in I feared yet another video game firstperson shooter debacle that would be light on plot and heavy on CGI. But Favreau knows his stuff, and for once a crowded kitchen of cooks has managed to render a highly palatable screenplay, one that wisely puts most of the emphasis on the characters of the titular cowboys and moves sure-footedly between comedy, sci-fi thrills, romance and pathos. The first thing we see is Daniel Craig, waking up out on the lonesome prairie with a futuristic bracelet clamped to his wrist, a picture of a woman, and amnesia. Some menacing bounty hunter types arrive with black hats, firearms and human scalps swinging from their horses but Craig dispatches them all without drawing a sweat, laying claim to the Clint Eastwood archetype in the Western part of this genre bender. He stumbles into town, gets treated by whiskey-drinking frontier preacher Meacham (Clancy Brown), takes down local rich kid Percy Dolarhyde (Paul Dano) going wild with a pistol and eventually gets made by local Sheriff Taggart (Keith Carradine) as gunslinger Jake Lonergan, and thrown in jail along with Percy. Enter Ford as Woodrow, Percy’s foul-tempered, nail-spitting cattle baron dad out to free his kid, and the whole thing quickly comes to a showdown. So far, so familiar and the writers
impressively manage a subtly light and humorous tone beneath all the standard macho posturing. Ford playing a crotchety old asshole suits him nicely, stepping smoothly out of the standard heroic leading man role that he’s done for so long. I can also say, having suffered through interviewing him once, that this is much closer to his actual personality. Now the second genre enters with a ferocity that is surprising and overwhelming. Like Cortez meeting the Mayans, alien ships zoom in, destroying everything and lassoing up a bunch of prisoners. Craig’s strange bracelet suddenly turns into a weapon that allows him to blow one of them out of the sky. The incident unites formerly feuding characters and a huge posse is put together to find where the aliens have taken everyone’s loved ones. The story is now about heroism and redemption, as we see meek saloon owner Doc (Sam Rockwell) whose wife has been abducted learn how to shoot a rifle, and Ford’s character, wounded by the loss of his son, begins to show some vulnerability, telling a kid about his war experiences at Antietam. Part of the strength of the film comes from the way it never loses the sensibilities of a Western, even as cowboys and Indians join together for a climactic battle with the hideous monsters. The focus is on Craig, who is magnetic as the laconic gunman, and Ford, whose softer paternal side is gradually and inevitably revealed. Also Olivia Wilde as Ella, a mysterious woman and potential love interest spices things up nicely. And when the aliens finally show themselves in full they are as impressive and formidable as aliens should be, with an especially original and creepy touch in the way they explore their victims with delicate hands that extend out of their abdomens. Minus the superior special effects, “Cowboy’s and Aliens” could have been a classic B film made in the 50’s or 60’s, and in these days of rote plots, shaky cams and murky 3D, that is refreshing indeed.

A feast for the eyes and palate Zeke Williams
Theatre and food meet all too one-sidedly at the movies. On those rare occasions when the two worlds collide, my advice is to pull up a seat and really take in your surroundings. If possible, take on the eyeballs of an eight-year-old. Hibachi-style restaurants offer a chance to watch professional chefs prepare food just a few inches from your platter. If you find the right one, the chef will be equal parts entertainment and culinary showmanship. Lola and I spent a recent evening at Kyoto in Lincoln Square to see if it came up roses in one or both categories. Kyoto’s interior is understated. The
dark wooden bar flowed seamlessly into a nearby sushi bar – all under classic dark wood. The walls were lightly colored and simply decorated to give the traditional food style a more modern tone. The true color in the restaurant was reserved for our chef. Our emcee for the meal – whose nametag “Joe” seemed to appear on every chef’s uniform – came over and entertained us with a slew of jokes, warm personality and his proficiency with cooking utensils. Seating in most of the dining room is at several “cooking islands” that bring a sense of genuine community to the meal. There were eight of us seated at our cooking island – three young kids included. I will not spoil all the tricks and sights that came with the meal, but lets say a couple billowing sparks of fire incited a flash of fear, excitement, joy, and giddiness. The eight-year-olds were excited about it too. We started with two orders from the Special Rolls category. The Kyoto Roll featured sweet potato with crunchy shrimp tempura to contrast the smooth lobster topping. The gem of the sushi session
STEVEN KING
of our meal, however, was the Lincoln Roll. A velvety, spicy crab, avocado and cucumber interior was made with garlic and topped with delectable seared tuna. Showtime came as we ordered our Teppanyaki portion of the meal. Each entree came with a warm miso soup with not-too-salty broth, thinly shaved mushrooms and a scattering of scallions. Course two was a fresh salad topped by a refreshing ginger sauce. The salad was followed by fried rice – prepared with eggs, salt, pepper, and a squeeze of hot sauce for three of the eight of us looking for an extra kick. It’s damn near impossible to beat this starter, just seconds off the hibachi grill. The rice was served with two side sauces – a mild ginger sauce and a warmand-creamy white sauce simply referred to as “yum-yum sauce.” The name was approved quickly by everyone at the table. Joe served up my order of scallops –
seven medallions lightly seasoned and cooked with a touch of butter and hearty squeeze of lemon juice. The soft, pearl white interior and crisped exterior radiated with flavor when dunked in a little of the ginger sauce. Lola’s Kyoto sirloin was seasoned and cooked to medium. While the steak could have been a bit more tender, the buttery taste was too inviting to push aside. The bill came to $66.07 after tax, but before tip. The amount is a bit misleading since portions were generous – with some bound for my refrigerator – more than two people with typical appetites can handle. Considering dessert after all this was borderline suicidal, so we opted to finish the water and Sprite. Service from Joe and the rest of the staff was stellar. We emerged into the daylight armed with yum-yum-soaked leftovers. Kyoto withstood the taste and entertainment tests with flying colors – from those 58 and eight years old, alike.

Women Must Plan (Extra) Carefully for Retirement  If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a woman, you have to be actively involved in your ďŹ nancial preparations for retirement - and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re single or married. As a woman, you have at least two special considerations associated with your retirement planning: â&#x20AC;˘ Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a longer life expectancy. Women typically outlive men by about seven years, according to the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics - and more years of life mean more expenses. â&#x20AC;˘ You may have less money in your retirement plan. Women drop out of the work force for an average of 12 years to care for young children or aging parents, according to the Older Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s League, a research and advocacy group. This time away from the workforce results in women accumulating much less money /LVD 0 &DVLOOR in their employer-sponsored retirement plans, such as 401(k)s. The prospect of a long, underfunded retirement is not a pleasant one. Fortunately, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much you can do to avoid this fate. For starters, know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in your ďŹ nancial situation. If you are married, share the responsibility of making investment decisions. What are your retirement goals? Are the two of you investing enough to eventually achieve these goals? And where is the money going? You must know the answers to these questions. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also need to know what you could expect to receive if your husband dies before you. As a surviving spouse, you will likely inherit all your husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assets, unless he has speciďŹ cally named other people - such as grown children from an earlier marriage - as beneďŹ ciaries. Nonetheless, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just assume that all sources of income that your husband receives will automatically roll over to you. For example, if your husband were to die before you, you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get his Social Security payments in addition to your own, although you could choose to collect his payments instead of yours. But if you both earned close to the same income, you might not get much of an increase in Social Security beneďŹ ts. In any case, whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re married or single, here are some moves that can beneďŹ t you: â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;Max outâ&#x20AC;? on your 401(k). If you can afford it, invest the maximum amount into your 401(k) and increase your contributions every time your salary goes up. Your 401(k) provides you with tax-deferred earnings and a variety of investment options. â&#x20AC;˘ Contribute to an IRA. Even if you have a 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, you might be eligible to contribute to a traditional or Roth IRA. A traditional IRA offers the potential for tax-deferred earnings, while a Roth IRA potentially grows tax-free, provided you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take withdrawals until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 59-1/2 and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had your account at least ďŹ ve years. You can fund an IRA with virtually any investment you choose.

Crystal Kistner
STEVEN KING
Two minutes with... Crystal Kistner of Dudley has proven that new beginnings can come from tragedy. Kistner started Tri-State Speedway in memory of a loved one who died doing what he loved â&#x20AC;&#x2019; racing. In the past few years, she has expanded the business from a speedway to an allaround getaway of fun. And her love for motorcycles has inspired another business venture; a line of women s motorcycle apparel. With a successful path in front of her, Kistner ďŹ nds joy in getting on her Harley and riding out to see where the future brings her.
What inspired you to open Tri-State Speedway? In August 2007, my fiancĂŠ, John Blewett III, was killed in a racing accident at Thompson Speedway in Thompson, Conn. The speedway was built in memory of John with all the karts painted to honor each race car that he drove throughout his 15-year racing career.
Did you have any business background, prior to starting this business? I studied business management and marketing at the University of Rhode Island graduating with my bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in 2004. Shortly after graduation, I began working as the general manager of my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trucking company. This position helped me experience how a business operates from day to day.
I read that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than just a speedway ... can you tell us more about your other business adventures? In addition to the speedway, Tri-State Speedway offers an 18-hole miniature golf course, large arcade, billiards, bowling lanes, bumper cars, mini go karts, and a 1,000-plus squarefoot play place. In February 2010, I opened Drafterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sports CafĂŠ inside the speedway. This cafĂŠ offers a full line of beer and liquor, along with a complete dining menu. Outside of the walls of Tri-State Speedway I also own a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motorcycle apparel and screen-printing business known as
Wicked Women Clothing. As an avid motorcycle rider and enthusiast, for the past eight years, I started Wicked Women Clothing to give women riders the opportunity to show off that they ride their own motorcycle. The website for this apparel line is wickedwomenclothing.com.
Which is your favorite and why? I have to say that the speedway is my favorite of them all due to the sentimental meaning behind it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also my favorite because the speedway was my first business venture that gave me the opportunity to move into other business areas. What has been the most difďŹ cult thing about opening the speedway? The most difficult thing about opening the speedway was definitely the learning curve I faced while getting it established. There is a lot more to opening and running a business than one would believe. It is a 24/7 job.
How do you relieve stress? I have to say there are two different stress reliefs for me. The first would be jumping on my Harley and going for a ride with only the wind and the road and my thoughts. The second would be every time I see a customer enjoying themselves here, it reminds me that all the stress and hard work is worth it.
What did you want to be when you were a youngster? Honestly, when I was young, I can remember always wanting to be like my father, a successful, hardworking business person. I guess now if you ask anyone who knows me, and knows my father, they will tell you that I am definitely my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter.
What is it like being a female business owner in a so called manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really think about it being a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world. I believe that no matter what your gender is, if you want to do something bad enough and work hard you will succeed at it. I do notice that when people ask who the owner of Tri-State and Drafterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is, and I tell them that I am, I always sense a feeling of â&#x20AC;&#x153;really???â&#x20AC;? I guess some people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect a woman, let alone a young woman, to own and run such a large operation.
Can you tell me a little more about league racing? League racing is a great way to let your inner child out! We have had just random people sign up, a group of friends create their own league, as well as large companies such as Incom, Inc., have a racing league for team-building purposes. The league usually runs for six weeks, where each individual accumulates points towards the championship standings. League racing is generally held on Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. Each league night

How often do you race? I generally only race when I have customers ask me too, or I have friends and family in for the first time. Unfortunately, I am usually too busy to race, but every time I get out on that track I say to myself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Man, I forgot how fun that was!â&#x20AC;? What are your future goals for the business? My goal for this business is to grow our presence in the area. Unfortunately our location is not on a main highway that people drive by every day. As our presence grows, I would like the facility to grow as well, by adding new amusements for all to enjoy.
What is one piece of advice you can share with others? The only advice I can give to others is that if you are not 100 percent prepared to be on the clock 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and be willing to sacrifice your time to better and grow your business, it is best that you just work for someone else!
What is your all time favorite movie? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a toss up between â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pretty Womanâ&#x20AC;? & â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bad Boys II.â&#x20AC;?
