orcester World Cup means so much to so many people in the city. For many communities in Worcester, the sport of soccer connects them to a culture – and a people – they may have left behind when coming to America. It’s not just a sport, it is a cultural identity, a way of recreational life that keeps national pride – and a sense of accomplishment – alive. This week we take a look at this annual event featuring a popular international pastime and how it unites Worcester’s ethnic groups in the spirit of friendly competition.

If anyone potential in this city for change.” has information on his whereabouts, send an According to Camparetto, these

councils have been created in other cities to address a need for increased civic engagement to influence government decision making in improving services to neighborhood residents, as well as impact the revitalization of neighborhoods in places like Tacoma, Wash., Dayton, Ohio, and Minneapolis, Minn. Tacoma, Wash., has been of particular interest for Comparetto. He spoke with Dr. Elton Gatewood of Tacoma, an advocate for neighborhood councils and community involvement in government, about setting up neighborhood councils. Gatewood started pushing for councils in Tacoma in 1978, but he had to wait until 1992 before he could get the system in place. It took pressure from the communities and a summit in 1990 to finally get the city government behind Gatewood’s vision of neighborhood councils. “The [Tacoma] government felt, in my opinion, that the people should not be involved in decision making at the grassroots level. That we, the city employees, have all the education and the engineering degrees,” says Gatewood, quick to point out that not all city employees lived in town. “It was a change of attitude that we had to work with elected officials and administration.” In Tacoma, neighborhood councils were instituted throughout the city. The

counterpoint

city was divided into eight different neighborhoods, and councilors’ jurisdictions overlapped in different neighborhoods so they wouldn’t just work for one speciﬁc area of the city. The system is still in place there, and it’s one that Comparetto is interested in using as a model. But ﬁrst, Comparetto wants to test the neighborhood-council theory in one neighborhood to get a feel for the system and to see if its introduction would be productive and proactive for the city since a neighborhood council has never been implemented before in Worcester. “It’s hard for us to envision it,” City Clerk David Rushford admits. Comparetto says if a pilot neighborhood council works out, he hopes others will take the initiative and start to create councils in other areas of the city. “If it doesn’t work out then it’s just going to be that one and over time it will be dissolved. But it’s worth being tried,” he states.

Then section System eight of Worcester’s charter,

there is an article that states the city council may set up neighborhood councils made up of unpaid elected ofﬁcials who work with the city council on speciﬁc issues raised in the neighborhoods. Neighborhood councils,

{ citydesk } in essence, are set up to give the city government a better idea of what is happening inside communities at a street level. They are governing bodies with a hyper-local approach to governing in a city. “If you start at 8.1 [of the charter], people would be able to start a neighborhood council,” confirms City Clerk David Rushford, while pointing out that forming neighborhood councils are not a necessary part of the charter, though. “It would be a committee and they would provide advisory and selfhelp functions to the city council. People from a neighborhood would approach city council and request that the council by majority vote establish a [neighborhood] council. The [neighborhood] council would represent a geographic area of the city, so there might be a number of them over all areas of the city.” The creation of neighborhood councils will mean more involvement by the people who live in the city and vote for elected officials. Neighborhood councils would likely help keep city councilors accountable for their actions and votes, something that City Councilor at Large Konnie Lukes says will be beneficial as communities become more involved in what directly affects them. “I’m fearful of government abusing its power and doing things behind the scenes and not being questioned by the press or the public,” says Lukes. “During this election year, I’ve heard at least two councilors weasel their way out of giving a direct answer to a question. I think neighborhood councils would force citizens to be proactive and not tolerate that kind of nonsense from candidates or elected officials.” While there may have to be some consolidation of power for elected officials and administration if neighborhood councils were introduced, Comparetto says city councilors wouldn’t “lose any power because the city council will need to approve anything the neighborhood councils bring up. The other thing is that neighborhood councils would ideally work with the city councilors. In fact, according

to the charter, city councilors need to serve on those neighborhood councils once they’re created.” Rushford confirms that city councilors would need to serve on neighborhood councils, giving councilors the opportunity to hear directly from the communities about what is and isn’t working within the areas that city councilors represent.

Neighborhood watch here are neighborhood watches set up

in Worcester that meet with officials from the city to discuss safety, public health, and other community-based relationships with public officials. Yet Community Watch cannot use its power to initiate beautification projects or work towards getting housing problems situated within their neighborhoods—it can merely suggest it. Rushford, however, disagrees, stating that the current neighborhood watches represent what the charter says a neighborhood council would look like. “Those neighborhood watch groups to me represent this portion of the charter. I don’t think it’s intentional, but I think it’s there,” he says. “The neighborhood watch groups come from the neighborhood, they elect their own officers, they have a formal continued on page 6

relationship with the city council, the city manager assigns them staff, they don’t get paid, they don’t have the authority to replace a district councilor but they are certainly respected by councilor from that district, and the city councilor from that district, I know, attend those meetings. In effect, I think we have implemented this portion of the charter without it have been given birth by the charter itself.” Comparetto doesn’t see the watches as neighborhood councils because he believes that watches spawn from an issue in the city like violence and that once the issue is resolved, the watches disappear. He wants neighborhood councils to stand on their own, and he wants them to be recognized officially by the city with some sort of authority to work on projects within the community.

“Crime watches tend to get formed over some issue that gets brought up in the neighborhood and tend to dissipate over time as the issue gets resolved. Neighborhood councils are also officially recognized government bodies unlike crime watches,” asserts Comparetto. Whether or not the two are the same, Comparetto and Lukes want to see more people involved in the city’s political scene. A more active community and a more organized grassroots campaign could keep city councilors, the mayor and other elected officials more accountable for their actions as well as get more people involved in finding a solution, which is what democracy is all about.

{ worcesteria } KEEP YOUR RELATIVES OUT OF WORCESTER: Just last week, for only the second time ever, a strongylaspis corticarius Ancita, an insect cousin of our own Asian longhorned beetle, was found in the U.S.A. (the ﬁrst time was in Miami in 1999). This live, wood-boring adult beetle arrived at Southern California’s Los Angeles-Long Beach port in a shipment of pineapples from Costa Rica. But LA’s trees are safe from clear-cutting because the U.S. Department of Agriculture has most of its incompetent specialists here in Worcester.

Murray should stop hinting at raising Massachusetts’ 29.5-cent per gallon gas tax at least until Congress takes action on the 18.4cent federal gas tax that expires on September 30.

NO QUID PRO QUO REGARDING TREES FOR BOOZE: Some skeptics are saying that the Walmart Foundation’s recent $50,000 donation to the Worcester Tree Initiative was to win some political support for its Walmart Booze Initiative. Only days earlier, the License Commission voted 2-1 to deny a beer-and-wine license for the Walmart Supercenter off Route 146. While two commission members saw no need for another license in that area, surely they did see how such a license to Walmart would threaten so many small package stores.

CITY’S SNOW JOB OF MEADOW LANE RESIDENTS CONTINUES: For three winters, the city has required several Meadow Lane residents to shovel a stretch of sidewalk on upper Pleasant Street. However, their property does not abut that sidewalk. Their backyards are separated from the sidewalk by wooded state land, a ravine, brook, and guardrail. Represented by Atty. Moe Bergman, the Meadow Lane residents will appear before the August 22 meeting of the Worcester Conservation Commission. Bergman likely will argue that the current Worcester Shoveling Ordinance forces the Meadow Lane property owners to shovel signiﬁcant amounts of chemically treated road snow and ice directly into the West Tatnuck Brook that sits between their property and State Route 122. The residents contend that they cannot comply with the city ordinance without blatantly violating the state’s Wetlands Protection Act. It’s ironic that DPW Commisioner Bob Moylan, who is alarmed that summer storms are causing polluted runoff into neighborhood brooks, is demanding that the Meadow Lane residents do similar harm to the West Tatnuck Brook. This issue might have to be settled in court.

KATE, YOU LOOK MARVELOUS: Since having gastric bypass surgery done by Dr. John Kelly, surgical director of the Weight Center at UMass Memorial Medical Center in May, City Councilor Kate Toomey has already lost 60 lbs. Now that she feels full after eating small amounts of food, avoids sweets and fatty foods, and is making life style changes, Kate hopes to lose another 60 lbs. Pea soup, cottage cheese, sugarfree yogurt and high-protein liquid supplements will do that to you. The much slimmer councilor is sporting new threads as she hits the campaign trail with pride and energy.

LEND ME YOUR EARS AND GIVE ME SOME MONEY: Arthur Ellis, Richard Peters, George Russell and Mathew Taylor all hope to succeed District 5 City Councilor Paul Clancy. The four will face off live on WCRN 830AM radio on The RAVE (Rosen And Vecchio Experience) at 4 pm on Saturday, August 13 (a day of a full moon). So far fundraising in this bad economy has been challenging. Ellis has loaned his campaign $2,500 while Russell has loaned himself $10,000.

DOES SIZE MATTER IN NAMES?: Although ﬁnishing his second term, Bill Eddy is the least-known city councilor. Running unopposed in 2009, the guy with the shortest name on the council really hasn’t been tested at the polls. But this fall, the candidate with the longest name on the ballot (and on lawn signs), realtor James Kalogeropoulos, is mounting a creditable campaign. He hopes residents of the district will vote for him even if they can’t pronounce his name.

These fine young people are, as you note, well-poised to exercise continued leadership roles in their schools during the coming year, and thereafter in wider areas of influence and impact. I have had an opportunity to observe all of them as they have grown into roles of student leadership. While they are effective and constructive forces within their schools and WORCESTERMAG.COM

wo weeks have passed since I wrote the only column I’ve ever regretted submitting to my editors; in 15 years as a WoMag columnist, one out of 360 isn’t a bad record, but this one will stick with me as a great lesson in bad judgment. I’m referring to the column titled “Picture This” — a piece that I intended to be humorous, which instead caused a tsunami of outrage within the tattoo community. The lesson I learned? Know your audience when it comes to humor. When I spouted off about my distaste for body art, I had no idea I was hitting a nerve so raw it would result in a record number of comments being posted on our website. More than 200 readers let me know in no uncertain terms that I am an illinformed hack. That doesn’t include the “friends of friends” on Facebook who found me and chastised me so roundly that I was forced to alter my privacy settings. The handful of supporters who wrote in to take my side were holding back the tide with a Dixie cup, God bless ’em. Life, if you are paying attention, has a funny way of serving up its lessons, and a few days after the column hit the newsstands I was on my way to Florida. Timing is everything, and quite frankly, gettin’ outta Dodge seemed fortuitous. The trip was planned for months, but far away from Worcester seemed like a good place to be. My friends and I were driven to Logan by one of our sons, and his girlfriend happened to be in the back seat with me. Even though it was barely sunrise, I could see that Alicia was sporting more than a few tattoos. “Maybe,” I thought, “this is my chance to ask a tattooed woman about her tats.” After all, many of the comments and letters that weren’t filled with vicious hate-filled insults about my own appearance suggested I do just that. (I will say that the best of the bunch called me “Sonic the Hedgehog” in reference to my photo. This had me holding my sides in laughter.) For the next 40 minutes, Alicia explained all of her tattoos; the history behind them, the significance, the sentiment – and, yes, the defiance. I told her that what most concerned me was the chance that young women were inking themselves impulsively and later

regretting the decision. She set me straight. “This one,” she explained, lifting her shirt to expose her rib cage, “I designed myself. I spent three years perfecting it.” The startling image depicted her flesh being sliced by a knife and held open by prying fingers. Eyeballs appear to be oozing from the “wound.” Three years is a long time to think it over. Clearly, she knew what she wanted. The design, she said, was very personal and while she didn’t go deeply into detail, she did say that her family has battled addiction on every front, and this represented her own experiences. Things happen for a reason, and I do think that Alicia’s presence in the backseat of that car was no mistake. I told her about the column and the backlash I received. She wasn’t surprised, though she seemed disappointed to think that the very stereotype many tattooed women wish to dispel may have been perpetuated by the venomous onslaught. That would be a pity, since articulate and educated Alicia probably represents more women than the stereotype suggests. And speaking of suggestions, it was suggested by more than one reader that I was attempting to stifle a form of self-expression and for that I should be fired. The irony of such an idea doesn’t escape me; that my form of expression should be vilified while theirs should be sacred brings a small smile to this “arrogant old crow’s” face. One FB comment suggested that tattoo lovers use body art to tell their story, while I use words to tell mine. Not a bad way of looking at it, I think. I have my own theories about how my age may have factored into the responses, but I’ll keep them to myself – something I might well have done with my opinion of tattoos in the first place. With that, I put to rest the subject of the inked female form. While in Florida, I’ve seen more ink than I’d find on a tour of the Bic factory, but I’ve raised not so much as an eyebrow, no matter how attention-getting the design. Another lesson learned: one woman’s funny is another woman’s passion. I’ll avoid calling them “thin-skinned” and from now on, I’ll tread lightly around designing women.

their community activities, they are, in fact, role models to their classmates, and to younger students as well. For adults within our region, they are proof of the fine work ethic and community-oriented values which characterize so many of our young people today. All too often, the teens who dominate media coverage are those whose activities make them notorious. The young people who accomplish the most, for themselves and for their schools, do not always receive the popular attention, and acclaim, which they deserve. The students featured in your article are properly highlighted by you for who they are, for what they have done to date, and

Searching for kicks WORCESTER WORLD CUP UNITES DIVERSE NATIONALITIES Brian Goslow

When Nigerian-born Ademola Akintan’s family first settled into a Worcester three-decker on Ormond Street, the lifelong soccer enthusiast hoped to find a welcoming place to play the sport he loved. He didn’t have to go far.

“I walked across the street to the Elm Park Community School field and have played here for the last 10 years,” says Akintan, who now owns a home on the other side of the field. Considering his passion for soccer, it should be no surprise that Akintan, president of Velppers, Inc., a company that sells interchangeable footwear, serves on the organizing board of the Worcester World Cup. The Worcester World Cup is the brainchild of Cultural Exchange Through Soccer (CETS), a group of local soccer enthusiasts and community activists who created the event six years ago. The establishment of the tournament was a natural progression for the organization, which was formed a decade ago to oversee a neighborhood-centered soccer program at the Elm Park Community School. The impetus of the initial event in 2006 was to build on the energy of the then-just completed FIFA World Cup held in Germany and to bring the city’s various immigrant communities together under the banner of sport and introduce them to the Worcester community at

large. “The Worcester soccer community represents a wide-range of people,” CETS founding member Laura Suroviak shares. “It’s the most diverse community in the city covering all ages. There’s a group of Albanians in their 70s who come to watch the games, and little babies who are there in the uniforms of their parents’ birthplace[s].” This year’s tournament takes place this weekend at Commerce Bank Field at Foley Stadium and features 20 teams highlighting 18 of the ethnic communities that make up the city’s fabric. The structure of each team varies; some have been playing

together for years, while others have just recently begun playing as a collective unit.

ATHLETIC EXCHANGE

any of the players fine-tune their skills at the Elm Park Community School, a year-round haven for soccer players, of both school and adult age, who use its gymnasium in the cold weather season and outside field the rest of the year. During the summer, it’s hard not to come into the neighborhood and miss what sounds like an endless party with the sound of lively calls for passes and loud enthusiastic cheers vibrating off the school’s brick walls after each goal. It’s one of the few fields in the city available for pick-up games of soccer after a long day at work. Where in their adult years most baseball players move onto softball, high school and college gridiron stars shift to touch-football, and basketball players are content shooting hoops at the Y, soccer players tend to keep playing

competitively, even if it’s just amongst friends. The downside of all that almostnonstop action at Elm Park Community School is that by mid-July, the oncegrassy field is reduced to dust. That didn’t stop the players from coming. “They don’t care about that; they want to play, and they don’t care what it looks like,” said Ecuador-born Carlos Acero, who oversees soccer gatherings for players of Ecuadorian descent. Acero bought a house across from the school’s front entrance six years ago. “I got this home because I had gotten to know the neighborhood through playing soccer,” he says. “Before I moved here, I lived on Pattison Street — but they didn’t have a school field nearby to use.”

EVOLUTION OF THE CUP

he Worcester World Cup tournament moved to Foley Stadium two years ago after the Elm Park Community field, which had hosted the competition since its inception, became unplayable and is now slated for renovation. However, use of the stadium doesn’t come without a price. The rental cost for Commerce Bank Field for this weekend’s three-day Worcester World Cup is $3,000. CETS organizing member Kevin Ksen says City Manager Michael O’Brien has helped the organization attract sponsors for the tournament to cover its costs. CSX Corporation, Gallo Volvo and Mazda, Henry’s Copy Center, South High Community School, Community Realty and immigration attorney Randy Feldman stepped onto the pitch to help make the event possible. “Hopefully the attendance will be between 1,500 and 2,000 people,” anticipates Ksen, who’d like to see the city-owned stadium, which is under the jurisdiction of the Worcester Public Schools, utilized by other community groups. “Why does it sit unused for a good part of the rest of the year?” he wonders. “People would love to play there and organize other events there, if they could gain access to it.” Similarly, CETS has asked the City Manager’s Office for a list of permitavailable city-owned soccer fields. The request currently sits with the Youth, continued on page 20

continued from page 9

Parks and Recreation Committee. “Part of our goal is to break down barriers in the city in regards to accessing resources to play soccer,” Ksen explains. “Gaining access (to more fields) is high on the list.”

WHERE TO PLAY?

earning the process for getting a field to play on, such as knowing how to go about securing a permit, the correct person to call to book a time, or what’s expected by those using the facility (signed liability waivers, for example), can be frustrating for anyone filled with enthusiasm and an idea they think will be popular in the community. “For some (not being able to secure a field for games, whether for pick-up games or festivals), it puts a stopper on the energy they have to do something positive and culturally diverse in the community,” Suroviak says. According to Assistant Worcester Parks Commissioner Robert Antonelli, Jr., 17 Worcester parks are used for playing soccer, though only one — Glodis Field next to Vernon Hill Elementary School — is used primarily for soccer year-round. The others are “overlay” fields mainly designated for baseball- and softballleague use in the spring and summer before being converted for Pop Warnerand tag-football leagues and youth soccer use in the fall. Organized leagues and

individuals with permits get priority. “We’re limited for access to these facilities,” says Antonelli, while noting that youth programs get priority. Worcester Youth Soccer, for example, serves more than 1,000 kids in its programs. If someone is interested in using one of the fields in the fall, Antonelli says the party must first check with Worcester Youth Soccer. If there’s no conflict, Worcester Youth Soccer will contact the parks department to develop the permit for the interested party. “You’re not required to have a permit to use the facility; but if you have a permit, you have the right to bump them (anyone on it) off the field,” Antonelli explains. “If you want to roll the dice to use a facility, you’re welcome to, but you might spend time to set up, play 10 minutes and then get bumped off.” For now, those seeking after-work and weekend pick-up games do what they can in finding places to play. Some use converted tennis courts in Castle Park, the grass at Beaver Brook Park between the Ted Williams Little League baseball diamonds and fields at Holmes Field, Worcester Academy, WPI, Clark University and behind the Belmont Street Community School. Some of the participating teams in the Worcester World Cup have been playing in out-of-town tournaments and leagues and renting indoor facilities.

NEIGHBORHOODS UNITE

Years ago, Worcester’s elementary-school walls held signs warning that anyone not of school age would be considered trespassing and the police would be alerted. That didn’t stop generations of pickup stickball and street-hockey games from taking place until a custodian or patrolman would shoo the culprits away. The institution of community schools intended to change that, opening each building and surrounding property for use by the entire neighborhood during nonclass hours, whether for basketball in their gymnasiums, cat shows, health-related activities or meetings of local crime-watch groups. “The plan was for the community to use the building and the field, and it’s lived up to its name,” said Worcester Public Schools chief financial and operations officer Brian Allen of Elm Park Community School. “They (interested groups) simply request permission, so we can record who uses the field.” Five groups regularly use the Elm Park Community field: the Cultural Exchange Through Soccer Youth Group, the African Community Education (ACE) program currently based at the school, and representatives of the local Liberian, Burmese and Ecuadorian communities. The field was packed with players on July 4 with the U.S. stars and stripes flying near its entrance and the Liberian flag respectfully placed just below it, a celebration of two homelands. Two weeks later, teams composed of Liberian and Nigerian players competed there as part of the second annual New England African Festival and Picnic held in Green Hill Park. This Saturday, the Elm Park Community School field will be used for a series of friendly matches as part of

“I have met so many people from a lot of different nationalities [who] I wouldn’t have met if I wasn’t involved in soccer,” says Bob Fitzgerald.

SOCCER CLOSES THE GAP

very Sunday at 8:30 a.m., a group of Iranian players gather at Klingele Fields, home of Paxton soccer and baseball programs, directly across from the campus of Anna Maria College, less than nine miles from downtown Worcester. “It’s the best time to get everyone together,” says Mohammad Djamshidi, coach of Team Iran, the Worcester World Cup defending men’s champions. “Most of these guys come from Worcester;

Ecuador Independence Festival activities, after which the field will be put on the inactive list as part of a planned reconditioning program, with modifications, similar to those used in rebuilding the same site in 2009. Representatives of those groups who use the field were told of the plans in a meeting with City Manager O’Brien and District 4 City Councilor Barbara Haller on August 1. “They were going to close it before then, but we asked them if they could wait till after our event,” Ecuadorian festival organizer Acero informs. “There’s a good relationship there.” Elm Park’s field is slated to have its existing surface drainage cleaned and jetted, trouble areas identified by civil engineers, and irrigation tested and repaired as required. Then the field will be graded, loamed and reseeded with subsequent measures to monitor the irrigation system and prevent the field from being used until it’s cleared for use. The agenda for the meeting with the city manager noted the need for long-term planning for the field that would address the permitting process for its use and limiting the amount of play it gets to allow for proper turf rejuvenation.

TURF WARS

During his Mayor’s Walk of the Elm Park/Highland Street neighborhood on July 18, Joseph O’Brien, talking about the “trials and tribulations of ‘the world’s mostused soccer field’” — which he noted was probably not too far from the truth, said the long-term solution for the Elm Park Community School field would probably

some of them come up from Providence. Sometimes non-Iranians will come because they know we need players. We’re glad to have them.” The sport provides players the chance to be with others from the country they grew up in and talk in their native tongues, which is more of a rarity for the Iranian players—some who have been in the country for more than 30 years. “For us, it’s a way of getting together with other Iranians and be in touch with our ethnicity,” Djamshidi says. Djamshidi came to Worcester in the

be “some kind of turf.” Worcester Public Schools’ Allen said the refurbishing of the Commerce Bank Field at Foley Stadium was a $3 million project that included the surrounding track. “The general cost for a turf-covered field runs between $700,000 and $1 million,” Antonelli says. “You don’t have to mow it but you have these other maintenance functions and when you spend all that money, don’t you want lights? By October, the natural light is done by the time most people would want to use the field. To spend up to a million dollars and not have lights to go with them would be foolish. And that adds to the cost.” Antonelli says a new soccer-only field is not in the planning stages at this time but that along with Worcester Public Works and Parks Commissioner Robert Moylan, Jr., he’s been looking for a site where a synthetic-turf surfaced field could be located. He adds, however, there are 60 other park facilities that the city is trying to maintain and some of those existing facilities need to be upgraded. For now, with the city’s immigrant population growing, the search for fields to play their beloved sport is only going to get more difficult. Once the Elm Park Community School is repaired and available for use, Allen said the use of the field is going to have to be limited so that it doesn’t return to the desert-like condition that it’s in right now. And while it’s meant for the entire community to use, there are also those neighborhood kids who have no alternative. “The plan is when the field is refurbished, the kids get a chance to use it as well,” Allen says. “Now, because of its condition, they can’t.”

older than 50 on our roster,” he points out. “I told them we had 150 years of experience in-between them, so we’re going to win.” Currently, it’s difficult for Djamshidi to gather enough Iranian-born players to meet the tournament’s requirement of having a majority of its players from the country whose name it plays under and be 18 years or older. As it’s been a number of years since Iranians could freely immigrate here, there’s not a big pool of 20- or 30-something age players available. While the coach had to go outside the immediate Worcester area to fill this year’s roster with mostly college-age players to complement those culled from his regular practice squad, he has reason for hope in the future. “We had a couple of new kids, 12 and 14 years old, out there today,” Djamshidi says. “They can’t play in the tournament, but they’re getting experience.”

late 1970s when he was 18, just around the time when Iran’s government was going through tumultuous changes that would soon make it difficult for its citizens to migrate to the west. He declined admission to the University of Iran, instead taking and passing a test that allowed him to enroll in a college outside the country. After a short stay in London, he came to Worcester, where he entered Central New England College (CNEC), joining two of his teammates from Iran. “CNEC, it was a little Middle East,” he laughs. Just as newcomers assimilate here, when he first met his future teammates in Tehran, there was a period of needing to get accustomed to one another, as they spoke different languages — he spoke Farsi — and came from different parts of Iran. “When you got together with people from other regions, sports closed the gaps,” Djamshidi explains. “In academy, we had no choice but to get to know each other.” When Djamshidi and his former Iran teammates reunited in Worcester, they quickly left their mark on the indoor soccer league at Friendly House, where Djamshidi’s team won its first championship in 1982. Some of those long-time teammates played a leading role in the 2010 Worcester World Cup, as well. “Last year, we had three players

The Ghanaian men’s team hopes to win its first Worcester World Cup championship this weekend — a long time coming after losing in the semifinals in each of its previous tournaments. “Everyone’s telling me we should win this year,” Fitzgerald, the team’s coach, says. “They practice where they can five days a week and want to win.” Fitzgerald, 62 and retired, first got involved with soccer in 1980 after

moving to Northborough; he was seeking a way for his three boys to find new friends in the community. He enrolled in coaching classes and was mentored by Northborough Soccer Association founder Joe Cummings, who went on to become president of the Boston Breakers, a Women’s Professional Soccer team. He came to Worcester in the early 1990s and after watching his youngest son, got involved coaching Worcester Youth Soccer, then the Worcester United Soccer Club. When some of his players got too old to play in Worcester Youth Soccer, he helped them put together a team that played in the first Worcester World Cup as Ghana, and has continued to coach them. Around a nucleus of three Ghana-born women, he also helped form a Ghanaian women’s team to play in the tournament; that has since morphed into the Columbia women’s team that will be trying to win its third championship at this year’s Worcester World Cup. If that’s not enough, Fitzgerald also oversees the Burmese men’s team. “I had watched them lose to Liberia 4-0 at last year’s Worcester World Cup after which Meredith Walsh, who works with the Burmese community (as executive director of the Worcester Refugee

OPENING DOORS TO THE FUTURE

itzgerald knows the role sports can play in helping improve the lives of its players, doubly so when it helps open doors to new opportunities in a new home. “I have met so many people from a lot of different nationalities [who] I wouldn’t have met if I wasn’t involved in soccer,” says Fitzgerald, who has garnered great satisfaction watching the players he has coached as teenagers turn into adults and subsequently teach the younger players who followed in their sneakers and cleats. Recently, one of Becker College’s coaches spoke to his high-school-age players about the importance of studying hard in school so they can play soccer in college. “I’m proud of every one of them,” Fitzgerald beams. “I’ve basically installed the attitude on my teams that you’re not just a team, you’re a family. I don’t care where you come from. If they make a

mistake, they make a mistake. Afterwards we just ask, ‘What can you do to avoid making that mistake again?’ We’re more like family than friends we’ve been together so long.” According to Fitzgerald, those players are making invaluable contributions to Worcester’s cultural fabric. “They’re trying to get an education, help the people around them if they’ve just gotten into the country, better themselves and give to the community around them.” The Worcester World Cup 2011 takes place Friday through Sunday, August 12-14, at Commerce Bank Field at Foley Stadium, 305 Chandler St., Worcester.

Revelations Within Ajna Chakra Imagery Revealed

Paul Grignon

ARTSWorcester presents the very ﬁrst solo exhibition of Fernando Martins work, where his alluring photographs are currently displayed at the Franklin Square Society Salon Gallery located within the Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts, at 2 Southbridge St., Worcester. The show, Artifacts: Image and Context, highlights 13 captivating archival prints culled from more than 60 submitted works. These exquisitely rendered photographs grace the walls of the gallery, all beautifully matted and framed by the artist himself. “The exhibit came about as a result of ARTSWorcester’s yearly Gallery Call, and Fernando submitted two photographic series, both recommended by the Gallery Committee,” explained Cynthia Woehrle, program director of ARTSWorcester. “What immediately came through was the light in his prints and how it held vibrant colors and clean textures. Martins plays with the line between object and nonobjective imagery and bridges them both with delicate textures in soft environments versus bold industrial colors.” Such a description can be found in the photo “14,” where texture and form are captured in superb clarity, echoing both the works of Whistler’s “Falling Rocket” and Turner’s “Parliament Burning.” Not readily discernible, the print seemingly depicts a close-up section of corroded metal, where time and the elements have wrought their unrelenting and destructive forces upon the surface. A vivid blue encompasses the lower portion as a

riot of blue, red, orange, white and black explode on the upper half. Stenciled in red on the far-right upper quadrant is the number 14. Capturing such an abstract fragment of time in an object allows the viewer to ponder the myriad of emotions that permeate the print, the history contained within a segment of metal long discarded. “The camera for me acts as a third eye; the taking of a fine-art photograph is as instinctive as seeing,” says Martins. “I want to seal the light in a jar, display it for others to investigate, analyze and create an emotional dialogue.” Martins’ passion and patience is apparent in all his imagery, where he waits for the perfect moment to capture the essence of an object and where, as he states, “…I repeat the process over and over until the exact moment when the light fully reveals the true nature of the subject.” “Decomposition” initially confounds the observer, but upon closer examination a hint of recognition is found. Is it an action painting by Pollock, a Diebenkorn landscape or is it a topographical image depicting the effects of deforestation in the jungles of Brazil? At first glance it appears that a welter of web has been woven by some unseen and gigantic arachnid. One is compelled to stare intently into the many creases and crevices throughout the photo, and wonder, “Just what is the advancing mass of green that invades the top portion of the print?” Threads, twigs and leaves become visible, and yet one still is nonplussed over the actual object. “The taking of a fine-art photograph is a way to show the reality of what is around us for what it is, and as it is,” Martins expounds. “I wish to expose the viewer to an continued on page 15

Creative Laundry Day makes artists out of all of us

Vanessa Formato

Laundry day doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a tedious affair. Join some amazing local artists and organizations in Elm Park this August 12 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a twist on chores with Creative Laundry Day. Whether you pack a picnic and stay the whole time or just stop by for a quick photo-op, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sure to leave inspired.

Creative Laundry Day started in 2008, springing up as a response to Art in the Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I became involved because I know the chief instigators, the Saori Worcester Weaving Studio,â&#x20AC;? says artist Susan Champeny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both of our studios had been unable to submit a piece that year because our mediaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;weaving in Saoriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, plastics in mineâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; were too ďŹ&#x201A;imsy to withstand three months in the park setting, so we created a one-day installation of temporary artwork that was a free art-making event for kids and adults of all ages and abilities.â&#x20AC;?

guide participants in constructing detergent-bottle totem poles, much like her House Hold Gods sculpture thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently displayed in the park. Saori Worcester, run by husband-and-wife team Mihoko Wakabayashi and Nat Needle, was the ďŹ rst Saori studio in the United States. Saori is a unique and relatively young style of free-form weaving. The studio has become a community ďŹ xture by engaging in public art, from Creative Laundry Days past to the Saori Bridges of Elm Park project in 2010. There will be ďŹ ve or six booths set up with different activities for the day. Saori will host tiedying and print-making in addition to weaving, while Mass Audubon at Broad Meadow Brook will encourage you to explore nature with leaf and stone rubbings, plus a chance to make your own butterďŹ&#x201A;y.

around the site on clotheslines. “Just as the nature of Worcester which we highlight makes Worcester special and unique, public art gives personality to a place,” Deb Cary of Mass Audubon says. All of the art can be taken home at the end of the day. “The events at Creative Laundry were chosen so that everyone is an ‘artist’ for that moment,” says Candace Casey, director of the Worcester Center for Crafts’ Krikorian Gallery and Gallery Store. “Together we create one vast piece for everyone to enjoy and be proud.” Inclusion is a big theme for Creative Laundry Day. Not only do the organizers hope to pull in people with a wide variety of experience in the arts, but with a variety of human experiences as well. “We chose [making terra cotta wind chimes] because they are audible and tactile for those with disabilities,” Casey says. Many of the day’s activities were selected with accessibility in mind, including Saori Worcester’s projects. Saori is well-suited for people in wheelchairs or with missing limbs because the looms can be used in a variety of ways. “Kids are often segregated away from disabilities,” Needle says. “It just makes it harder for people growing up to empathize with people with disabilities, and it also makes it harder for them when [disability may affect] them.” Needle emphasizes that this event is about breaking down barriers among people of different ages, genders, races, abilities and socioeconomic classes. Creative Laundry Day is about forging bonds across the demographic divides that still exist in a diverse city. It’s about enjoying each other for what we are. “Worcester is a city where anything can happen because of our willingness to connect with one another,” Needle says. “Once you have fun, it’s a lot easier to create great art,” Champeny adds. “Come play with us!” Creative Laundry Day in Elm Park.

active participation in the existence and observation of the moment, to capture the telling instant.” Other less abstract works are presented such as “News Stand” where, at first pass, it appears to be nothing more than a simple window. Yet within such bare elements are stories held; a lead-cased window, surrounded by cracked and peeling woodwork, as papers sit along the sill. One can instantly recall such a fleeting moment, perhaps witnessed from a passing car, a chance glimpse at a darkened window, encased in a faded yellow, crumbling weathered wall. Martins explained further: “I study the world at hand, with a broad sweep at first…letting the environment surround me. What is that? Why is that here? What causes that?” This simple window

does make one pause to wonder just where this was taken, who is manning the news stand, and what tales can be told. Eleven other exceptional archival prints are there to tell their own individual stories. As Martins so eloquently states, “I let the universe in all its mystery reveal itself, one square foot at a time.” Artifacts: Image and Context, runs through September 23 at the Franklin Square Society Salon at the Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts, 2 Southbridge St., Worcester. Artist reception: Wednesday, August 10 from 6-8 p.m. For more information, contact artsworcester.org.

Wait a second, did I just write that? This is how Eisenberg follows up his big high-profile turn as boy billionaire Mark Zuckerberg? To me this is Eisenberg at his most believable, working with Ruben Fleischer, the same director who helmed “Zombieland,” delivering pizzas and devoid of Aaron Sorkin’s pretentious phony sounding dialog. Yes, I’m one of those few who found “The Social Network” to be way overrated, so deal with it. I’d even take me some “Squid and Whale” over that irking, blank-faced, socially retarded worldbeating asshole routine. Far less ambitious than “Zombieland,” “30 Minutes or Less” takes a very familiar idea with some even more familiar character stereotypes and bombards them with silly but hilarious lines, resulting in something more like extended sketch comedy. The bad guys are never really all that threatening or the good guys all that heroic. There is little sense of the midwest town aesthetic or cultural restlessness or desperation that drives these people to do their dirty deeds. This is not “Fargo,” nor has it any designs to be. The comedy is neither dark nor arch. This is just a silly little flick that hopes you will laugh at the nonsensical behavior of its cast of miscreants. First-time writer Michael Diliberti’s screenplay keeps it simple and dumb, yet is refreshingly free of fart jokes and shock scenes of women taking dumps or projectile-pooping (wait, love interest Kate (Dilshad Vadsaria) does get abducted

The laughs come fast and furious in this lightweight madcap caper flick starring perennial screw up bad boy Danny McBride and Oscar nominee Jessie Eisenberg.

out of a toilet stall…oh never mind). The only thing we really know about Eisenberg’s character Nick is that he is a loveable wiseass loser who delivers pizzas for a living, and he’s hot for Kate, his best friend Chet’s (Aziz Ansari) sister. Both leads are pretty much twenty-something slackers. Chet is a schoolteacher who has finally gotten a teaching gig after being a sub for years. The baddies are McBride as Dwayne, a dolt living with his ex-Marine lottery-winning dad, and his sensitive, impressionable, eagerto-please sidekick Travis (Mick Swardson, from “Reno 911”). When Dwayne brags to a stripper about his dad’s fortune, she talks him into hiring her boyfriend (Michael Pena) to off his father so he will inherit the money. To pay for the hitman they have a pizza delivered to find their patsy, and when Nick arrives they strap a bomb to him and force him to rob a bank. He enlists his buddy to help. That’s pretty much it. Most of the comedy is situational, like where the Nick and Chet go to a dollar store to buy masks and fake guns for the heist and the sardonic teller refers to their purchase as a “rape kit”, or Dwayne talking about his idea for a tanning salon/secret whorehouse he’s going to build with his inheritance money. There are major holes and nonsensical developments throughout, like for instance there is no real compelling reason Chet would risk prison to help Nick rob a bank. There’s the fact that they do the deed, survive a high speed chase and then blithely walk around town in the same clothes laughing about it (Nick is ridiculously calm for someone wearing an exploding vest). Or that after immediately getting caught by a cop outside the bank and holding the money they don’t immediately explain they were being coerced to rob the bank, and the police could have sent someone to defuse the bomb. And so on. This is all of course nitpicking, because the plot here is like a pizza and this film’s only mission is to deliver the laughs to you quickly, before it all cools down and you realize what you are getting is basically a thin piece of dough with spaghetti sauce and some cheese on it.

The Dog Days of Summer The Dogfather, 84 Holden St., Worcester George’s Coney Island Lunch, 158 Southbridge St., Worcester Hot Dog Annie’s, 244 Paxton St., Leicester

Michael Brazell

Ingenuity is arguably human kind’s greatest asset, claiming responsibility for the Great Pyramids of Giza, the moon landing, and a near infinite list of other achievements in tscience, art and culture. Amidst a million contenders though, the zenith of human ingenuity is plainly undeniable. Riding triumphantly atop its doughy palanquin, lavishly adorned with worldly spices, this champion of foods stands as a testament to man’s unbreakable will: yes, of course, I’m talking about the inimitable Hot Dog. Few things herald the arrival of summer in Worcester quite like the frankfurter, and despite a tenuous relationship with your general health and well-being, the wiener—a glorious amalgamation of meats, fats and preservatives—perseveres as a favorite summertime snack around our city. Fortunately for red-hot lovers around the heart of the commonwealth, Worcester is home to many fine and famous frank joints, and I was able to sample three local favorites that simply can’t be missed. It feels strange to begin a Worcester hot-dog odyssey at an establishment that is not technically in Worcester, but Hot Dog Annie’s (224 Paxton St, Leicester) skirting rural Route 56 in Leicester is too close to exclude. Annie’s grilled up its first dogs in 1949 and the restaurant is most wellknown for its Wednesday deals, serving up four dogs at the unbeatable price of $4. Served on toasted, buttery, doughy rolls, the wieners at Hot Dog Annie’s were the

thinnest of my tour, but were complimented well by a tangy and sweet BBQ sauce that is a staple for visitors. Even on the other six days of the week, Annie’s hocks dogs for $1.20 each, and despite offering free WiFi in the “dining area”—an outdoor, tree-shrouded patio that abuts the parking lot—the family-sized picnic tables look just as welcoming as they did some 60-plus years ago. On weekends and Wednesdays, it is typical for long lines to form, and diners may need to fight through crowds of hormone-raging high schoolers competing to break their local hot-dogeating records, but nevertheless, the BBQ hot dogs served at Hot Dog Annie’s in the Leicester woods justify the wait. It may not be the Jets and the Sharks, but mention Hot Dog Annie’s in any conversation with Worcester natives, and it’s a near guarantee that one person will challenge you with another local hot-dog favorite — George’s Coney Island Lunch located at 158 Southbridge St. in Worcester. While few people will extol the health benefits of the hot dog, the history of Coney Island seems to suggest that this treat should be part of your regular diet. In 2000, Worcester mourned the passing of Catherine Tsagarelis, who opened Coney Island Lunch with her husband George in 1929 and despite eating a slightly overcooked, lightly mustarded Coney Island Hot Dog every day for some 70 years, Catherine lived to see the age of 92. Although George’s Coney Island Lunch may not be the much-sought-after Fountain of Youth, it still undeniably serves up a delectable dog. Diner’s entering Coney Island take a step back into the last century, walking beneath the enormous “Coney Island Hot Dog” neon sign (of which the hand holding the dripping dog was actually modeled after founder George Tsagarelis)

and standing in line at the lunch counter surrounded by dozens of wooden booths with the hand-carved initials of generations of Worcester natives. A regular will tell you to ask for your hot dogs “four up,” which delivers you four dogs in steamed buns served with chili, mustard and onions. On this trip, I went for two up and two with mustard and onions, while my co-diner Taylor grabbed two with pickle relish, onions and mustard, served with two Polar sodas—our lunch ran us a little more than $10. The famous chili sauce is packed with ground beef and not at all spicy, but the untoasted and unbuttered buns do an excellent job of keeping everything together, even with the piles of diced onions falling out of your mouth. The Lunch, as its affectionately known, makes an excellent hot dog, although like Hot Dog Annie’s, it is a thin and narrow wiener about 5” in length. While one skinny hot dog may not sate your appetite, you’ll certainly need to be rolled out of George’s if you go four up. Even with my belly swelling in girth, my weeklong hot-dog safari could not end merely at Hot Dog Annie’s and George’s Coney Island Lunch. For months I had taken the turn from Holden Street onto Shore Drive without stopping at

Worcester’s newest hot-dog vendor, yet I knew that one day I would have to stop. Luring customers in with catchy slogans pasted onto sandwich boards such as “7 days without a hot dog makes one weak,” and “If you don’t eat here, we both starve,” The Dogfather on the corner of Holden Street and Shore Drive challenges you that he will “make you a hot dog you can’t refuse,” all the while claiming to be “Worcester’s only extreme hot-dog truck.” While a newcomer to Worcester, the Dogfather has quickly cornered the market on the quick-serve hot-dog lunch, with a giant menu of exciting and original dogs. The Dogfather names its menu items after characters from The Godfather or other mobster themes, so I ordered up a Fredo and a Vinny. The Fredo was a large dog—significantly thicker and longer than either Annie’s or George’s—covered with chili and cheese, while the Vinny was smothered in a spicy mustard, onions and sauerkraut. Served on a buttered-andgrilled roll and wrapped in aluminum foil, the Dogfather’s frankfurters have a satisfying snap to them with significantly more casing than those found at our other two restaurants. Also, while the prices are slightly higher per dog than you would find elsewhere (about $6 for two dogs and a soda), the servings are certainly larger, and the Dogfather himself is quick with smiles and jokes for all guests. Sadly, the intestinal fortitude of one man is not nearly great enough to sample all of Worcester’s favorite hot-dog spots, and I would be remiss to pick a favorite. Wiener lovers shouldn’t miss Elm Park Hot Dogs (Russell Street), Chris Gould’s Dive Bar Sausages (Green Street), and Moe’s Hot Dog Truck (Grafton Street). We’d love to hear where your favorite hot dog is from, so drop a comment at editor@ worcestermag.com and let us know!

New to Highland Street is a bright sign that reads: Wooberry Frozen Yogurt. Owner Ted Domville’s

Sad news: Worcester has lost a pizza place. Firewood café opened December 4, 2010

is hoping his frozen-yogurt joint will bring something new to the tasty treats scene in Worcester. Originally a chef, Domville segued into the frozen-yogurt business in North Carolina. After selling his ownership of three businesses, he moved to Worcester and began to work on a new project in February of this year. “I started working on Wooberry long before I moved, as I really liked the area, the food scene, and colleges,” Domville says. Inside screams in deep purple and lime green, with the light fixtures and chairs adding a hip, modern vibe, and a counter that holds a place for all 40 to 50 toppings. Toppings range from candy-bar favorites to fresh kiwi and mango. Domville says Wooberry will have four kinds all-natural frozen yogurt: original and chocolate will always be available, while two additional flavors will rotate. Wooberry is going green, as they have installed recycling and composting services. Another plus, there’s parking in the back. If inspections go smoothly, the doors will open any day now. Check for updates on Wooberry Frozen Yogurts’ Facebook page. 141 Highland St., Worcester.

Jerry Beck Jerry Beck is an artist and the original founder of The Revolving Museum in Lowell. With his recent appointment as the Fitchburg Art Museum’s marketing and community engagement director, he aims to bring his love of public art, community creation and a respect for the institute of the museum to the greater Worcester area. We recently caught up with the amiable and animated Beck to find out what his plans are for this lesser known but promising museum. As the Fitchburg Art Museum’s new marketing and community engagement director, can you tell us a few of your goals coming into this position. For nearly 30 years I have been conceptualizing how to eliminate stereotypes, break boundaries and expand the horizon between the public and museums, between artists and nonartists, between student and teacher. I have done this primarily by inviting people of all ages and backgrounds to become active, not passive, participants in the creative process. I have found that many people get shutdown at an early age about the importance of art and art education. Some are taught that the arts are an esoteric pursuit and not an economically viable field to enter. But, every child learns through playing, experimenting, feeling emotions, and expressing one’s self. Art is about freedom. Today, the arts are leading the way to a new creative economy. As the new marketing director, I want to get people interested, energized, excited and engaged in museum culture. … I want people to see the Fitchburg Art Museum as an architectural gem and community resource. I want to develop

synergistic partnerships with arts organizations, schools, social-service organizations, and businesses. I want to generate collaborative public artworks and events inspired by the collection and illuminate why the Fitchburg Art Museum can be meaningful in people’s lives and the life of the community.

As an artist, why do you think museums are important? Museums are places to explore the vast mysteries of art and how it has shaped the evolution of humankind. Museums tell wondrous stories through the history of objects. They are aesthetic laboratories that honor the unique qualities of civilizations. For example, at the Fitchburg Art Museum, you can discover the extraordinary art of ancient African, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Asian, pre-Columbian, and 19th- and 20th-century Europe and America. You can also experience the contemporary world through the eclectic art of local, national and international artists. As a public artist, I am preoccupied with issues of today. We are living in a hypermaterialistic culture which is being influenced by fear, violence, war,

economic and ecological disaster. The arts have always played a critical role in responding to the challenges of the moment through the holistic development of philosophical thought, technological advancement, beauty, emotion, social justice, civic dialogue, political change, and community action … Art is more than mysterious entertainment. It opens our minds, hearts and souls.

What is coming this fall at the museum? Opening on Sunday, September 25, is “LitGraphic: The World of the Graphic Novel,” an exhibition organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum. This traveling show will have its only New England appearance at the Fitchburg Art Museum. Graphic novels use a comic-book style format to tell a dramatic story. The exhibition will feature more than 200 original art works, including paintings, drawings, storyboards, studies, books, photographs, and a documentary film, offering insights into the lives of the artists and the nature of their work … Another one-of-a-kind exhibit will be the incredible aerial photography of William A. Garnett (1916-2006), a true pioneer whose pictures of forests, sand dunes, agricultural crops and suburban grids were taken out an airplane window. And, finally, we have a special “African Conversations: Works from the museum’s permanent collection in dialogue,” a special curatorial exhibition juxtaposing African artworks with other museum pieces that reveal their similarities and differences.

Where so you see the FAM in ﬁve years? The Fitchburg Art Museum is a world-class museum so one of my ambitions is to make people aware of it not only locally, nationally, but also worldwide. This may sound naive and ambitious, but, today, the world is at everyone’s fingertips. By presenting extraordinary exhibits, special events, creative marketing strategies, and collective communication, we can inspire new populations to investigate and participate in museum culture ... I want to break down the hierarchy of museum culture so curators, artists, administrators, businesses and the public are collaborating to pioneer a pathway to a new renaissance of art, education and community celebration.
