inside stories

olitical ads only tell part of the story during Election season. It is the behind-the-scenes shenanigans that really pack a punch. This year, while Mitt Romney fends off critics who see him as the spokesperson for rich fat cats, his campaign has been trying to put out another ďŹ re. This one was lit by Ron Paul, the Republican who is really a Libertarian, who has captured the hearts and minds of thousands of potential voters – including many right here in Massachusetts. The battle is intense and there is no immediate end in sight. What has these so-called Liberty members all worked up? Many of them ran as delegates in caucuses earlier this year to earn the right to vote for the Republican presidential nominee at the national convention in Tampa, Fla. Here in Worcester and surrounding towns, an entire slate of Liberty candidates knocked off party favorites like Lew Evangelidis and Paul Frost. After their victory, however, they were told they were being decertiďŹ ed and replaced. What followed has been a roller-coaster ride of legal complaints, in-party ďŹ ghting and a state party that has remained silent on the issue. Worcester Mag takes you inside the ďŹ ght to win control of the Republican Party. — Walter Bird Jr.

he new $302 million Worcester Recovery Center and Hospital (WRCH), billed as a one-of-itskind facility, shines a light on an issue that rarely gets a lot of public attention. Intentionally built low to the ground, the building sits in the shadow of the former Worcester State Hospital, and sports large windows and a courtyard that soak in the sun. It is the first new public psychiatric facility built in Massachusetts since the 1950s and stands as the crown jewel for both the state Department of Mental Health (DMH) and Gov. Deval Patrick, who endured criticism for pushing to close Taunton State Hospital. The state Legislature worked out a compromise to maintain some funding for the hospital. As hundreds of people, including several state and local officials, gathered in a sunsplashed courtyard at WRCH on Thursday, Aug. 16, however, such political haggling was the last thing on the agenda. “Today marks a great day in the history of treating mental illness,” said Patrick, whose wife has battled depression. “I am very proud of the advancement in healthcare, technology and environmental design that this facility represents, and I know all of its residents and their families will receive the highest quality care.” The 428,000-squarefoot center wraps around the courtyard Professional Disc Golfer and offers many Cale Leiviska, 2012 amenities not Vibram Open Winner. typically associated with psychiatric care.

City schools raise issue with charter school funding Walter Bird Jr.

WALTER BIRD JR.

C

ity school officials say $3 million allocated to the Spirit of Knowledge Charter School (SOK) for the upcoming school year is too much and that the excess funding will be turned back to the city — and not the school district. It has some officials questioning the process of determining how much money the public school district must allocate to charter schools. The formula relies on estimates from charter schools to the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) on how many students they expect for the upcoming school year. This year, SOK reported an estimated 261 students for this fall. Based on that number, according to Worcester schools chief financial and operations officer Brian Allen, the district allocated $3,005,676 for the charter school. The actual number of students expected at the school is much lower. The charter school’s interim executive director Paula Bailey, who says she has no idea who provided the preliminary estimate of 261 to the state, tells Worcester

Interim Executive Director Paula Bailey looks at the School of Knowledge’s budget. Mag the school will have 188 students for the 201213 school year. SOK is adding a grade this year and will serve students in grades 7 through 11. Based on

a required per-pupil expenditure of $11,516, the total budget is projected at $2.1 million, Bailey says. That is almost $1 million less than what is allocated in the public school budget and does not reflect Title funding, which brings the charter budget to around $2.9 million. “They get the first-quarter payment,” says Allen. “Then the second-quarter payment will be adjusted to reflect the actual number of students.” The second-quarter report will not be reflected until sometime in December, Allen says. By that time, the city will have presumably set its tax rate. After that, says Allen, funds cannot be directed back to the schools. That means the excess money allocated to SOK would stay on the city side of the budget. “It does create an interesting dilemma because charter school funding is based on the projected number of students and the money comes out of Worcester schools,” Allen says. Allen acknowledges the riff that often exists between public and charter schools, saying: “The funding issue is one of the biggest reasons there is contention between charter and public schools. That would probably be No. 1 on most people’s lists.” continued on page 6

School Committee member Tracy Novick says the issue speaks to poor management. “I’m disappointed,” she says. “They’ve had a great deal of upheaval over there, a high amount of turnover. We’ve heard many concerns from parents, and we’re powerless. That’s really a terrible thing. When they were starting up we were concerned about the financial management.” Bailey came on as interim executive directly only recently, after the preliminary enrollment estimates. She took over for Dave Chauvette, who was hired in January and served for a short period of time. Bailey says an estimate of 261 does not make sense, because the school’s charter only allows for up to 250 students in its third year — this year. In total, after a senior class is added next year, the school is allowed up to 275 students. SOK business manager Darlene Frederick says she also does not know where the original estimate came from. She says she projected 225 students for the upcoming year to the DESE. “I shared that with our new executive director,” Frederick says of Chauvette, who was still with the school at the time. When she saw the figure of 261, Frederick says she called DESE and said the figure was too high.

REGISTER NOW FOR FALL!

“I was told that’s OK, it can be adjusted,” she says. That happens after the actual enrollment is reported in October. DESE spokesman JC Considine says any change is reflected in the next payment. “Were a charter school to see an actual enrollment that was much lower or higher than their pre-enrollment projections,” he says, “the December payment would reflect the overpayment or underpayment, respectively.” Considine also says there are two ways municipal schools can budget for charter schools: They can include the costs in the School Committee budget, which allows the committee to use any excess money for other purposes. The other way is to budget charter school costs separately. In Worcester’s case, if the charter school’s tuition drops below the budgeted amount, the balance is added to the city’s surplus funds. While the city could return the money to the school district, it is not obligated to do so. According to Allen, Worcester schools included charter school funding in the School Committee’s budget until 2007, when he says the state told them they could no longer do that.

{ worcesteria } TWISTIN’ IN THE WIND: Some of the people doing business with the Worcester Tornadoes might be feeling blown away by the city’s entry in the Canadian American Independent Baseball League. The Tornadoes owe thousands of dollars to area businesses as well as the city itself. They also owe the College of the Holy Cross, where the team plays its home games at Hanover Insurance Field. On Aug. 15 Worcester Mag reported the Tornadoes, run under the auspices of Streamlined Sports Inc., owes the College of the Holy Cross, where they play their home games, $50,000 associated with costs for public safety, field maintenance and utilities. Also on Aug. 15 Worcester Mag reported the team was fielding queries from interested buyers, according to a team source. The source, responding to questions on the whereabouts of owner Todd Breighner, says Breighner was not in Worcester, adding: “A few different groups have emerged expressing interest in buying the team in the past 48 hours, though.” A day earlier, on Aug. 14, former Tornado Jose Canseco accused the team of not paying his salary. His attorney said she had filed a complaint with the Attorney General’s office. Canseco claims Breighner issued $7,000 worth of bad checks. In addition, the Tornadoes are accused by Fitchburg-based Northeast Promotion & Apparel Inc. and Worcester's Enterprise Cleaning Corp. of owing several thousand dollars to each business. It was also learned the team owes more than $50,000 to the city for police and fire detail.

Walter Bird Jr.

STANDING ON BREAKING GROUND: The city had the chance last week to celebrate one building project that has been finished while casting an eye to the future on another. In addition to celebrating the grand opening of the Worcester Recovery Center and Hospital, the seeds were planted for a new 13,000-square-foot state-of-theart triage and assessment center for unaccompanied homeless single adults at 25 Queen St. The South Opportunity Middlesex Council (SMOC), a nonprofit housing corporation, is developing the $3.2 million project. The building will hold 40 beds (25 triage beds and 15 single-room occupancy units) and offer 20 parking spaces. Construction on the Triage Center is slated for completion in January 2013.

QUESTIONS ARE A SAFE BET: If you give a craps about the status of casinos in Massachusetts you might want to attend the Worcester Chamber of Commerce’s “Breakfast Club” meeting on Thursday, Sept. 6, at Mechanics Hall. Mass Gaming Commission chairman Stephen Crosby is the featured speaker at the event that begins with breakfast at 7 a.m. $35 for Chamber members and $45 for nonmembers. No word on whether the drinks are free while Crosby is speaking.

THE CENTER OF ATTENTION: The DCU Center, home to the Worcester Sharks, is getting a 30th anniversary present in the form of a $17.5 million renovation that will start Nov. 1. Consigli Construction Company will do the work, part of the second phase of improvements done in summer 2009. “This planned $17.5M investment is critical to the DCU Center maintaining its status as one of the best venues of its size nationwide,” says City Manager Michael O’Brien. “The Worcester region and the commonwealth as a whole will continue to benefit from the DCU Center as an economic engine.” O’Brien says most of the work will be done between May 1 and Sept. 30 next year, minimizing the financial impact on the DCU Center and eliminating the risk of interrupting upcoming planned events, including the Sharks’ season. Some of the highlights of the renovation include a landscaped promenade leading into the DCU Center and a new digital marquee on the building. On the inside, four new event suites will be built and retail space will be added. For more Worcesteria visit worcestermag.com/blogs/dailyworcesteria and follow @worcestermag on Twitter.

Harvey

Of babies, blessings and a bird Janice Harvey

I

t’s Thanksgiving in August around here. By “here” I mean my daughter’s house, where I’ve been since Brooke and her newborn son Jack arrived home a week ago. Her pregnancy was fraught with trauma since week 18, when an ultrasound revealed a cleft in her tiny baby’s lip. I’ve learned an awful lot about that common birth defect; I’ve become well-schooled in what it means to be born with what is perceived as an imperfect smile. The diagnosis of a possible cleft lip and palate coupled with a question about the length of Jack’s femur led to amniocentesis — a scary procedure that screens the fetus for major problems, including Down syndrome. That test was run on a Friday, leaving us sleepless for the weekend. On Monday, the first five markers came back negative, and we breathed a sigh of relief. Two weeks later, more test results showed Jack to be clear of any other birth defects, though additional testing was done to rule out spina bifida. Again, negative. Phew. As the months went on, and we planned for our boy’s arrival, Brooke and her husband Jason met with the plastic surgeon chosen to correct Jack’s cleft. Dr. Lalikos showed Jack’s anxious parents her “Before and After” portfolio, which Brooke described as “miraculous.” Still, the extent of Jack’s cleft would not be known until his arrival, and Dr. Lalikos stopped short of assuring them that his palate wasn’t involved. A lip and nose, after all, are easily fixed; a cleft palate is another problem altogether. We’d simply have to wait to know more. So, as you can see, Jack has been breaking all the rules. He threatened to arrive nine weeks early; he stubbornly remained breeched, and during ultrasounds, covered his face with his hand to obscure the tech’s view of his lip. I refuse to take the blame for his cantankerous nature, though it has been suggested by many that he is genetically predisposed to rebellion without cause. The fact that I was voted “most argumentative” in high school does not factor into any testing done on this child. Just in case we thought anything about this child’s existence would be hum-drum, he pulled yet another fast one on us. I was wedging myself into a swimsuit for a day of West Palm Beach sun when the call came from my daughter. Preeclampsia

necessitated a speedy delivery, and at 12:41 on the seventh day of August, Jack came into the world, still breeched, with his umbilical wrapped around his neck like an ascot — not once, but three times. My flight left for Boston at 3:35, two days earlier than planned. My seat was changed by the good folks at JetBlue because someone vomited in mine, I was cheerily informed. Thanks, JetBlue. At 9 p.m. I stumbled into room 481 of UMass/ Memorial to meet the boy who has caused me more acid reflux than a Five Guys burger. At 5 pounds, 12 ounces, he weighed more than most of the items on that chain’s menu. A unilateral cleft of his lip and nose did nothing to take away from his loveliness; a partial cleft of his palate meant surgery awaits him, down the road, but the lip/nose corrections can be done when he beefs up to 10 pounds. Piece o’ cake, huh? Feeding this guy became top priority, and the hospital had only one cleft nipple that worked for Jack. Unable to latch on for breast-feeding, he would need to form a seal on whatever bottle did the trick. One nipple in the whole hospital? Not one kind of nipple — one nipple. Thank God Al Gore invented the Internet, is all I can say. I found these elusive items — manufactured in Japan and shipped out of Philly — and had a batch Fed-Exed. Jack’s up to two ounces a day, thanks to the Pigeon nipples. “Pigeon” is the only word I can read on the box; the rest of it looks like the menu at Sakura Tokyo. It’s been nearly 30 years since I tossed Ivory Snow into my grocery cart, warmed a bottle with one hand while juggling a fussy infant in the other, or tested the temp of formula with a sprinkle to the inside of my wrist. Just like riding a bike, it really does come back to you. And so, I write this column from my daughter’s kitchen, where yesterday I prepare an entire Thanksgiving dinner, complete with stuffing and gravy. I decided we shouldn’t wait until November to be grateful for the gift of Jack. Of course, it wouldn’t be my family if there weren’t a few twists. I had to walk down the road and borrow a meat thermometer from Dave O’Gara because my sonin-law, the BMW technician, used my daughter’s thermometer to gauge an engine. And I basted the bird with Jack’s nasal aspirator. Relax. Unlike Jack, it was still in its original package.

Worcester’s Carol Claros says she was blindsided when told she would not be allowed to serve as a delegate at this month’s Republican National Convention. After all, she figured she had earned the right by winning election at a caucus earlier this year and beating out a more well-known opponent. The elation she felt immediately upon winning was short-lived – and followed by one of the worst feelings she could imagine.

presidential nominee Mitt Romney. It is a nationwide movement that has seen a faction of the Republican Party that has not warmed up to Romney fight against the GOP machine. Many of them are relative unknowns in the political arena, people who were attracted to Paul’s maverick campaign and its three core goals: end ongoing wars, audit the Federal Reserve, and protect Internet freedom. Claros may not have known it when she agreed to run as a delegate, but she is part of a battle within the Republican Party nationwide that has pitted Ron Paul Libertarians against hard-line Republicans. While Romney will undoubtedly walk off with this year’s presidential nomination, there has been a shift within the Republican Party. Just where it leads is anybody’s guess.

SPURRED INTO ACTION

registering [as a Republican] in 2007,” says Claros. “I felt the Republican Party could be the vehicle to reinvigorate our country and the ideas that brought us here.” Last year, Claros says, she met Bradford Wyatt, a Boylston School Committee member, developer and Republican supporter of Ron Paul who owns property in Worcester. Wyatt, she says, became a mentor and “told me I could make a difference. He put it in my head that I had a voice.” From there, Claros started becoming more involved, working phone banks on Scott Brown’s inaugural US Senate campaign and then getting involved with Paul’s

“I always dreamed of being a delegate since

“I was devastated,” Claros says of being told by the state GOP she was being decertified and replaced as a delegate. “I cried. I was really, really sad. I felt betrayed. Nobody bothered to reach out to me to find out who I am.” The hopes Claros had of showing up in Tampa on Aug. 27, when the convention starts, were dashed earlier this month when the Republican National Committee (RNC) rejected an appeal filed on behalf of Claros and several other caucus winners who were also replaced as delegates or alternates. They were part of a Liberty Slate of candidates who have strongly supported Ron Paul, and not presumptive

presidential run. Her biggest opportunity came when she was asked to run as a delegate. “I thought, ‘Who am I to go up against these people?’” Claros says of the big-time Massachusetts Republicans who were on the caucus ticket in the 2nd Congressional District, which includes Worcester. Among them were former state representative and current Worcester County Sheriff Lew Evangelidis and state Rep. Paul Frost of Auburn. “When we won, I was in shock.”

UPSET VICTORIES

“We” included Claros, Wyatt and Ware resident David Kopacz. They knocked off Evangelidis, Frost and Kim Roy, the sheriff’s director of community programs. In addition, all three Liberty alternates – Evan Reynolds of Worcester, Michael Rossettie of Shrewsbury and Melinda Taylor of Millbury – defeated their opponents, which included state Republican Committee member Mindy McKenzieHebert, and state reps Matt Beaton, R-Shrewsbury, and Kim Ferguson, R-Holden. All across the state, in fact, Liberty candidates enjoyed monumental wins in separate caucuses. Of the nine congressional districts, they swept four caucuses, scoring the three delegate and

three alternate seats available in each district. The list of victims was impressive: Big shots like Kerry Healey, Charlie Baker and Frank Cousins, all in the 6th District, were among the fallen. It was the result of what Wyatt called a grassroots effort throughout the state to mobilize supporters within the party and encourage them to attend the caucuses and vote for Liberty candidates. Any celebration, however, didn’t last long.

AFFIDAVIT CONTROVERSY

Turns out many Liberty candidates failed to sign an affidavit requiring them to swear they would vote for Romney at the National Convention. Upon receiving the affidavit, Wyatt sent a letter to the state GOP saying: “The oath that you are asking delegates/ alternate delegates to sign is potentially dangerous.

{ coverstory } Carol Claros (right) says she was blindsided when told she would not be allowed to serve as a delegate at this month’s Republican National Convention.

STEVEN KING

If there is an unforeseen circumstance that does not allow Gov. Romney to be nominated at the convention, the MA delegation would be stuck between voting for or face legal problems when they return home. I suggest that you change the oath to be in accord with state party rules and stature. The effect would be the same, but could save us from potential embarrassment.” According to the Secretary of State’s Elections Divisions, while state law does require a delegate to vote on first roll for the presidential nominee, there are no legal ramifications. An attempt to reach a spokesman for the Massachusetts Republican Party for comment was continued on page 14

unsuccessful. Instead, Wyatt and some other Liberty candidates signed a Liberty Affidavit promising to “vote on the first such roll call for that presidential candidate unless released by such candidate.â€? Romney is not mentioned by name on that affidavit. Some candidates signed both affidavits, although Wyatt admits he did not. “The reason that some signed the original MassGOP affidavit was that they simply got it, signed it, and processed it before getting on a conference call with all the Liberty delegates,â€? says Wyatt. The state party didn’t budge and after the caucus elections, sent out a letter in which it referred to Romney’s principal campaign committee, Romney for President Inc., as having decided to decertify the delegates and alternates who had not signed the original affidavit. The party’s Allocation Committee, according to the letter, “was presented with irrefutable evidence that you were requested by this committee to affirm that, if certified as a delegate you would ‌ on the first ballot at the 2012 Republican National Convention vote for Mitt Romney.â€? According to the letter, the Allocation Committee concluded that, since they had not signed the affidavit, they were “unwilling to serve as a delegate in accord with state law and Republican Party rules.

APPEALING THE DECISION

It didn’t take long for Paul’s campaign to get involved, going so far as to reach out to Liberty candidates in Massachusetts and in other states around the country facing the same threat of decertification. According to the Paul campaign, there has been a fight to unseat winners at the state convention. In addition, the campaign says, supporters were shut out of the state convention in Louisiana and in Oregon alternate

Paul’s campaign provided its lawyer, free of charge, to represent the Liberty movement in an appeal to the Republican National Committee (RNC). “We’re very proud the Liberty movement wanted to get involved,â€? says Jesse Benton, a member of the Paul campaign. “We are very disappointed that the Mass GOP tried to remove them ‌ I think it was very wrong to rename their people to the delegation.â€? In a notice of contest on behalf of the decertified delegates and alternates, Attorney Lee Goodman writes, “The flawed affidavit was sent to individuals with a vague explanation as to its significance and less than one week before an arbitrary deadline for returning it ‌ with an intervening Memorial Day weekend.â€? Some delegates and alternates, he adds, signed “a slightly revised affidavit that they thought corrected the flaws in the one drafted by the chair of the Allocations Committee, and again attested their intent to comply with the rules of the Massachusetts Republican Party (MRP).â€?

COUNTER ARGUMENT

In a Statement of Position, attorneys arguing the case for the MRP and its Allocation Committee note Romney had easily won the Massachusetts Primary and said there was evidence that Paul supporters intended to break state law and party rules at the convention. The evidence they presented were snippets taken from blog posts, including one that reads: “If a good chunk of Romney delegates are really stealth Paul supporters they can all abstain on the first vote, thus keeping Mittens from achieving the nomination altogether and creating round two – aka

and other similar statements by Paul supporters,” the attorneys argued, “the party’s decision to impose the affidavit requirement was reasonable and prudent. The party should not be punished now for its unwillingness to risk sending delegates to the National Convention who intend to break the rules and embarrass not only the Massachusetts Republican Party and the Republican Party, but also Governor Romney and the more than 365,000 Massachusetts voters who gave Governor Romney more than 72 percent of their vote.” According to Wyatt, that would not happen. “I would vote for [Romney] with a pure heart,” he says. “We have to support the nominee and I think he has the best shot. When we were at the caucus they said will you support Mitt Romney. I said in front of 200 people I would vote for Romney. I guess I could understand their concern, but rather than throwing out the baby with the bathwater, I’d try to address those concerns.” Claros, too, says she had no intention of breaking the rules. “Absolutely,” she says of whether she planned to vote for Romney as a delegate. “I pledged that in front of my parents and the voters. We have state laws that bind us. I would be faced with fines and felonies. I’m a nurse. I would not risk my livelihood over this.”

Wyatt admits chances of a reversal were slim to none. “I’d say the odds are stacked in our favor,” says Wyatt. “But I’ll still be going to Tampa.” On Aug. 14 Wyatt issued a press release in which he said the decertified delegates had filed a Notice of Intent to Object with the RNC.

The state Republican Party has declined to comment on the matter, citing the ongoing legal issues. Attempts to reach Healey and Baker for comment were unsuccessful and Frost has not returned multiple phone calls seeking comment. “[The state GOP] doesn’t want to talk about this,� says Wyatt. “This is a toxic issue. Everything they do makes them look worse.� As for why he and other Liberty delegates were ousted, Wyatt says: “They didn’t trust us. I had a conversation with a Romney person and that person said even with the best intentions we could accidentally do something to hurt Romney’s chances.� For Wyatt, the issue is about much more than a particular candidate. “This isn’t even about Ron Paul, anymore,� says Wyatt. “It’s about promoting Liberty and getting more people involved. We’re making a difference here. People are starting to wake up and ask questions like, ‘Why are we overseas?’� Wyatt says he has become public enemy No. 1 within his own party. “Right now, a lot of people are very, very mad at me in the Republican Party.�

NOT GIVING UP THE FIGHT

While some Liberty members will find their way into the convention on the coattails of others

as invited guests, people like Wyatt say they’re now on the outside looking in. Not that they’re going to go gently into that good night. In an e-mail to Wyatt, Ron Paul campaign staffer John Tate promises fireworks if an attempt is made to exclude Liberty members from the convention. “Ron Paul’s number-one goal for the RNC is making sure his delegates and alternates who deserve to be seated in Tampa are credentialed,â€? Tate writes. “So if the establishment wants a fight in Tampa, rest assured we’re going to give them one ‌ believe me, we will not sit idly by and watch the establishment run roughshod over Ron Paul’s supporters who were illegally railroaded by the GOP. We will stand up and fight for all of Ron Paul’s delegates and/or alternates in these four states – and we will not back down.â€? “The tactical purge of duly elected delegates ‌ sends a clear message that grassroots activists are not welcome to participate in Romney’s presidential campaign,â€? Tate continues. The blogs have been filled with opinions about the issue. At redmassgroup.com, a site supporting Republican viewpoints, several posts refer to the party’s decision. One, left by “ElectricStrawberry,â€? reads in part: “I am a Republican, but I am not a blind Republican. The Republican Party did stand for most of what Ron Paul talks about. He didn’t leave the Republican Party it left him. The reason so much corruption is allowed in politics is because party members won’t point their fingers within the party and allow the breaking of the rules as long as it’s their party that breaks the rules. It’s easier to point your finger across the aisle and say ‘see what they’re doing.’â€? continued on page 20

I’m hoping to take a lot of the workshops that are offered.” Another Republican who lost at the caucus, Evangelidis, says he was not aware when the GOP reached out to him that he was replacing the person who defeated him. In fact, according to Evangelidis, he received a direct invitation from Romney’s campaign. “They said based on being a ranking official in the state, they’d like me to be one of the floor leaders,” Evangelidis says. “Unfortunately, we’re in this position right now. At the same time, Romney’s campaign reached out to me to take part in the convention and I felt it was my duty.”

Even though she won’t be going down as a delegate, Claros will be joining Wyatt at the convention. Soured by the experience, Claros says she nonetheless has every intention of going because she was invited as a guest. “I plan on going to Tampa no matter what,” she says. “I’m going to promote the message of auditing the Federal Reserve and ending the wars. I want my brother home. He’s still in Iraq.” Claros says she still feels the sting of winning and then being decertified. The state Republican Party, she says, hasn’t covered itself in glory. “It doesn’t do anything good for people thinking of running,” says Claros. “We’re no longer fighting against Democrats we’re fighting against each other.

Hours before Worcester Mag went to press reports emerged that a deal had been struck. According to CNN, the RNC agreed late Tuesday to seat several Ron Paul delegates, including 17 from Louisiana and an undetermined number from Massachusetts. According to Wyatt, it is likely that between three to six Liberty delegates/ alternates would be seated from Massachusetts. “It is good to know we had very valid arguments, especially the fact that we won in the caucus election, that we’re vindicated by Team Romney negotiating an agreement, rather than being ignored and marginalized,” Wyatt says.

Party On Laurence Levey

Ten years ago, under the impetus of ARTSWorcester’s desire to organize a celebration of the arts, a group of artists and activists got together and, in the words of Tina Zlody, said, “Let’s have a block party!” That block party became stART on the Street and it showcased about 50 artists; stART on the Street’s next big fiesta will feature 280.

“BOSTON SKYLINE,” BY KIRA BEAUDOIN

Zlody was there at the beginning and remains one of the coordinators as stART on the Street marks its 10th anniversary with an open exhibition at the Davis Gallery in Worcester beginning August 23. Twenty-nine artists, all previously involved with stART on the Street, will display 54 works, at prices ranging from $15 to about $1,000. Stacy Lord, another coordinator, an artist and middle-school art teacher in Worcester, says the assignment for these artists was simple: “Make something vibrant and representational of yourself.” The resulting pieces include the traditional and the unusual: paintings, drawings, jewelry, furniture, skateboards and more. Seed to Stem, a new business venture operating on Shrewsbury Street for the past two months, will be doubly represented. Virginia Orlando and Candace Atchue have collaborated on two pieces: one inspired by the North American woods; the other, according to Orlando, “inspired by galaxies,” and featuring such “otherworldly” objects as crystals and geodes. Orlando grew up spending lots of time in her mother’s flower shop and studied art at Plymouth State College and the Worcester Art Museum. Atchue started working in the flower shop in high school, having learned artsand-crafts techniques from her grandmother. “That’s where my passion developed,” she says. The two applied to stART on the Street in spring 2010 and have been involved ever since. Orlando says her work expresses her “love for nature,” and both describe their terrariums and other creations as “modern art forms which introduce plants to people in a different way, a more artistic way.”

Over the past five years, Kira Beaudoin has participated in about a dozen stART events. “They have given me a lot of exposure,” she says. Beaudoin, who majored in graphic design with a concentration in illustration at Rivier College in Nashua, N.H., and is now the art director at the Worcester Business Journal, describes her paintings on canvas and illustrations as “not abstract, but extremely colorful,” using silhouettes and incorporating words and music lyrics. She has two works in the current show, a painting of the Boston skyline with an abstract background, and a silhouette of a tree with words superimposed. Her typical method is “to pick out colors randomly, put them on canvas with a roller, leave it aside for a day or two, then come back and begin to work.” Casey Hickey volunteered with stART in its first year, and since then has been its youthactivities coordinator. She studied community art education at Massachusetts College of Art and Design and teaches art at Seven Hills Charter School in Worcester. She describes her two mixed media works in the show as “collage over watercolor and graphite drawings.” Her education and experience have enabled her to study different disciplines. “I try to incorporate as many different disciplines as I can. It’s good to be able to see all the other artists’ work. On the day of the festival, the artists often can’t see everything,” she says. Many disciplines, much experience and a shared commitment to bringing art to the public come together in all of stART’s shows. In this one, they celebrate the accomplishments of the past 10 years by, yes, bringing more art to the public. Sarah Brueck, the event’s chief coordinator, a chef who creates glass artworks and jewelry and has contributed work to the show, says that on opening night, “There will be demonstrations, interactive art, food and drink. And, music by Jon Short and his oneman band.” stART is nonprofit and all volunteer. The artists and the crowds keep coming back. The 10-year block party continues on August 23. stART on the Street Gallery Show August 24 – September 26 Davis Art Gallery, 44 Portland St., Worcester Opening Night, Thursday August 23, 5-8pm info@startonthestreet.org

Two Lucky Dogs with One Great Idea STEVEN KING/FILE PHOTO

Ellin Terrill

What can you get with two lucky dogs, a bar full of vodka, and blues music? Just ask Erick Godin, owner of Lucky Dog Music Hall, and Greg Nichols, owner and founder of Lucky Dog Vodka. For just one night, these two lucky dogs are collaborating on a project that will not only benefit the ears, but the soul as well.

Doggapalooza—A Concert to Benefit Africa is slated for Saturday, Aug. 25, at Lucky Dog Music Hall in Worcester. Nichols, whose Lucky Dog alcohol retails for $21.99/750 ml, says, “When I decided to do the benefit for the African Services

Committee, a concert seemed like a great idea and Lucky Dog Music Hall seemed like a great place to have it, and Erick was right on board with it.” The African Services Committee is a nonprofit organization that fights malnutrition, tuberculosis and AIDS in Africa. Nichols traveled to Ethiopia last year and saw for himself what living on $1 a day looks like. Lucky Dog Vodka was born two years ago in Nantucket. “When the financial crisis hit, I had a checklist of things I wanted do, and I ended up with vodka,” Nichols recalls. In a very short time, Lucky Dog Vodka has not only achieved distribution, but also earned titles such as the Gold Medal Winner of the World Wine & Spirits Competition in New York. Nichols, a Princeton native, cites another reason, other than first-hand experience, as to why he’s organizing Doggapalooza:

As for Doggapalooza, both Lucky Dogs are hoping to make it an annual event. “We’re really strongly committed to the African Services Committee.

The bands are more adulttype bands. Next Time Ova, they’re from the Boston area, and they do a lot of blues and R&B, and then there’s Strange Machines,” who Godin describes as a Sublime-type band.

Exhibit features art by individuals with disabilities, possibilities

When artists get together, beautiful things happen. This fall, the Cantor Art Gallery at Holy Cross will be the temporary home of some extraordinary work that showcases how art enriches our lives. Curated by Lawrence Rinder and Matthew Higgs, Create features 135 works by 20 artists produced over the past 20 years in three leading centers for individuals with disabilities, and it’s nothing short of amazing.

These centers—Creativity Explored, Creative Growth, and the National Institute of Arts & Disabilities (NIAD), all located in California—take a unique

24

approach to empowering individuals with disabilities. Founded by Florence LudinsKatz and Elias Katz in the 1970s, these programs provide artists with disabilities with studio space, materials and mentors, most of whom are professional artists in the community. This isn’t art therapy. “The important thing about these art centers is the community of support they provide,� says Amy Taub, director of Creativity Explored. “We provide a lifelong learning community and a safe, comfortable space where people can push outside of what they see as their limits.� The Cantor Gallery is the first stop on the show’s debut Northeast tour, organized by Independent Curators International (ICI). Due to the size of the show, the Cantor

Art Gallery will be presenting it in two parts, the first of which opens Aug. 29, with a reception on Sept. 5. “The artists represent a wide range of art practice from drawing and painting

to text-based work and sculpture,� says Rinder. “Their styles range from figurative to abstract. Some of them have been making art for decades while others are relatively new to professional studio work. I wouldn’t say they are unique per se, except insofar as any real artist is unique. What is somewhat unique is their studio practice, which is communal, whereas most artists work in private studios. The group studio allows for a more rapid exchange of ideas and techniques. I believe it inspires the artists by creating a sense of shared excitement and possibility.� According to the Cantor Gallery’s

Hankins also plans on featuring Saori weaving, known for its accessibility, in an adjacent space during the show’s second half. Programs like Creativity Explored, Creative Growth and NIAD are important because they not only help artists develop their passions, but also to earn money and find purpose as well. “Many of our artists make a good income from selling their art,” says Jennifer O’Neal, the public relations and projects manager for Creative Growth. “It helps by giving them a role, one that’s a very privileged one in our society.” There are plenty of misconceptions about people with disabilities in our society, and shows like Create present a wonderful opportunity to break down barriers.

It’s not about these individuals’ disabilities, but their work as artists.” “One of the things I really love about Create,” he continues, “is that if no one told you that the art in this show is made by artists with disabilities, you’d never know. All of the art is just incredible.” Create is a show that celebrates the incredible work of artists with disabilities and the programs that have made their work possible, but it’s much more than that—simpler than that, really. Create is an art show, and a stunning one to boot. Like any art show, it’s about artists and what happens when they sit down to tell stories. That’s the important part.

Asian delights Marc Cochon

Diners seeking an Asian meal often think in terms of national identities: Shall we go for Indian tonight, or Chinese? Thai, maybe, or Vietnamese? In reality, culinary traditions in Asia don’t adhere strictly to political borders, but rather meld across the continent, mixing in countless ways. You can sample this phenomenon at Ming III, set in a strip mall on Route 9 in Westborough. Ming III bills its cuisine as “Pan-Asian” and delivers a creative mash-up of Chinese, Manchurian, Indian and Thai influences.

Ming III shares a wall with its sister restaurant, Khatta Mitha, and the two spaces are connected in back. Whereas Khatta Mitha serves northern Indian food in a casual atmosphere, Ming III is more stylish, with a granite-and-mahogany bar area, beaded lamps, and mosaic tiles. Crisp white tablecloths and napkins adorn the modest number of tables and booths, and there’s an outdoor dining area as well. Ming III shoots for a distinctive, upscale dining experience — and delivers it. Drums of Heaven are an appealing and savory starter: fat chicken wing segments have been peeled back from the bone, stuffed with garlic, ginger and herbs, then fried and coated with a sweet-and-spicy glaze. The moist dark meat contrasts nicely with the crisp exterior and sticky sauce. You might find yourself fighting for the last piece. From the menu description, Papaya Salad sounds like the traditional northern Thai dish som tam, but it’s a very original version. Whereas som tam features shredded green papaya roughly pounded with a dressing including limes, tomatoes, chilies, garlic, peanuts, fish sauce and herbs, here the crunchy and mild papaya

is napped in a smooth, red sauce that strikes a well-judged balance between sweet, spicy, salty and sour tastes — the objective of most Thai dishes. Chili Lamb is a stir fry of remarkably tender lamb with spring onions and fresh green chilies in a suave, dense sauce. The level of spice is moderate, allowing the flavorful lamb to take center stage. This is a dish where a few high-quality ingredients come together in fine form. Eggplant Lahsooni features pan-fried chunks of eggplant — crisp outside, tender inside — adorned with a lurid red sauce flavored by tomatoes, garlic and peppers. The sauces at Ming III tend to be quite thick, but they are well-executed and deliver a range of deep flavors. Diners are invited to choose both from Ming III’s menu and that of Khatta Mitha. For dessert, we draw on the neighboring restaurant, which places an emphasis on homemade sweets to eat in and take away. Pista Kulfi is an Indian take on pistachio ice cream, dense and sweet, topped with ribbons of vermicelli and a bright pink

sauce that looks like (and happily tastes nothing like) Pepto-Bismol. It’s a visually striking dessert, finishing the meal in a soothing way. Ming III offers a full bar, including a reasonably priced wine list. Service is prompt and courteous, in keeping with the upscale feel. Appetizers range from $7 to $10, and mains are in the $13 to $19 range. Servings are moderate in size. An ample meal for two, including tax, tip and a bottle of wine, comes to $100. Many Asian restaurants shoot for what the British call “cheap and cheerful” — low priced, informal spots to grab an interesting meal. Ming III aims a little higher—both in price and in culinary ambitions—to deliver flavorful, interesting dishes that combine the tastes of south, east, and southeast Asia. It’s a fine choice for diners looking for something new.

Ronnie’s ice-cream and clam shack has been a fixture in Auburn for over 50 years. Ronnie’s known for its seafood and ice-cream; now it’s time to get to know it for its summer beverages, too. Ronnie’s offers frappes in chocolate, coffee, vanilla and strawberry. It also has flurries (mix-ins that are spoon- and STEVEN KING straw-worthy), as well as floats. Even better, Ronnie’s can make a milkshake out of any of its famous hard-serve flavors! I put this to the test with my favorite flavor of grapenut ice cream, and it passed with flying colors. It was already the high-quality flavor and texture of the ice-cream, but now liquefied for cup-holder convenience. While there were a few times I had to wait a minute or two between sips for some melting, it was broken up nicely - even the crunchy bits - so I had little problem drinking it through the straw. There was still some of the grapenuts on the bottom that I had to take the cover off to slurp, but that didn’t detract from the experience of the shake. Next time you want something cold to drink, try your long-standing favorite ice-cream from Ronnie’s in a shake. You won’t be disappointed.

Vino Bella By Al Vuona

W

hen in Rome do as the Romans do. That’s especially true for wine. After all Italians are a wine-loving bunch; they lead the world in wine consumption by volume with 70 liters per capita. In addition, Italy is home to some of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world and is the world’s second-largest wine producer. Grape growing is found in almost every region of the country and there are more than one million vineyards under cultivation. So what about the wines? Italy produces both white (Bianco) and red (Rosso) wine. Perhaps the most famous is Chianti, the dry red of Tuscany. Made from the Sangiovese grape it is characterized by its floral, cinnamon and spicy bouquet when young and tobacco or leather aromas as it ages. Barolo and Barbaresco are two hearty reds made from the Nebbiolo grape in the Piedmont region. Both are considered world-class wines capable of long-term aging. Probably the most well-known Italian white wine is Pinot Grigio. This lightbodied dry white produced in Veneto has become a favorite the world over. At its best, this wine has a subtle, lemony, slightly nutty flavor. Pinot Grigio goes well with grilled fish, salads and seafood. Soave another Italian white is a close cousin to Pinot Grigio. Also grown in Veneto, Soave is a light, straw-colored, slightly sweet and fruity wine. Of course navigating the Italian wine scene can be a daunting task. With so many producers and wines to choose from, it can easily overwhelm even the most seasoned wine pro. So here are a few tips for choosing an Italian wine. First, stick with a reliable producer. Learn about common Italian grapes and their characteristics. Sample or taste a number of wines before making your selection. Remember, price is not always a guarantee of quality. Until next time, ciao.

Bistro Limoncello 290 West Main Street, Northborough, 508-393-5440 bistrolimoncello.com Bistro Limoncello is that “date” restaurant you go to when you want to have a special night out that’s not too formal. The prices are on the higher end, but you get what you pay for: top-notch food in generous portions… you’ll have a hard time finding that anywhere else. The live music on Thursdays is classic AmericanItalian crooning—think Sinatra and friends. The owner takes the time to meet each table, and even fellow patrons are friendly.

Lakeside Bar & Grille 97 Boston Turnpike, Shrewsbury 508-425-3543 Lakeside Bar & Grille may be located in a strip mall, but it has the feel of a neighborhood pub. The menu includes appetizers, sandwiches, salads, burgers and entrees, with an emphasis on Italian-American cooking. That all may sound ordinary, but the flavors are fresh, the kitchen really knows its stuff, and the prices are hard to beat.

July Massachusetts pending home sales continues upward trend Fifteenth consecutive month of year-over-year increases WALTHAM, Mass. – The Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR) reported on Tuesday, August 14 that the number of singlefamily homes and condominiums put under agreement were up again in July. This is the 15th straight month compared to the same time the year before that the number of single-family homes and condominiums put under agreement increased. Pending figures are a leading indicator of actual housing sales in Massachusetts for

the following 2-3 months. “With another pending sales increase in July, our confidence that the market is getting closer to recovery also increases,� said 2012 MAR President Trisha McCarthy, broker at Keller Williams Realty in Newburyport. “The significant boost in homes put under agreement compared to last year means closed sales should continue to remain positive through the fall.� The number of single-family homes put

under agreement in July was up 33.58 percent compared to the same time last year (3,514 homes in 2011 to 4,694 homes in 2012). This is the 15th straight month of year-over-year increases. While pending sales in July ticked under the 5,000 home mark after two straight months, this is still the most homes put under agreement in a July since the Association has been tracking pending sales. On a month-tomonth basis, single-family homes put under

agreement went down 8.52 percent from 5,131 homes in June. This is the first month-to-month decline in five months. The number of condos put under agreement in July was up 29.87 percent compared to July 2011 (1,349 units in 2011 to 1,752 units in 2012). On a month-to-month basis, condos put under agreement were down 11.78 percent from 1,986 units in June. - Submitted Article

Roger Morrissette

STEVEN KING

Two minutes with... Roger Morrissette, 49, is the owner of family ice-cream business Janine’s Frostee in Ware. Roger bought the store in 2005 from his father Henry, who bought it from the Millier family in 1976. Janine’s is the epitome of a family business, with sisters and daughters behind the counter, and a motto of serving the best quality products at reasonable prices with a smile. Here, he shares more about owning an ice-cream joint and what sets Janine’s apart from the competition. Tell me about the history of Janine’s Frostee. Janine’s Frostee was started

in 1956 by Raymond & Lydia Millier. They had two twin boys, Richard and Robert, and one daughter named Janine. In 1976, Janine’s was sold to Henry Morrissette, my father. With the help of our entire family throughout the years, Henry and Germaine (Mom and Dad) owned the business from 1976 until 2005, when they sold it to me. My dad had been in the grocery business in various management positions for many years prior to owning Janine’s, but none of us had a background in the restaurant industry.

Why did you decide to purchase the restaurant? One reason was so my mom could finally retire and relax, having been behind the scenes doing all the accounting and such for the past 29 years. The other reason was so the business would stay in the family, and I could hopefully put my own twist on this family tradition.

Did you make any significant changes to Frostee’s when you bought it from your parents? Why or why not? Since 2005, I

have made many significant changes, I believe all for the better of the business. In 2006, the 50th anniversary of Janine’s, I decided to celebrate with a big party. This party was a great celebration, and the beginning of

what will become an annual tradition, Janine’s Frostee Annual Car Show! Janine’s was founded on soft serve ice cream, and developed a big following due to its good quality, friendly service and fair prices. Shortly after taking over, I decided to bring in a premium hard-serve ice cream to sell. I chose Gifford’s of Maine, another small, family-owned company with all the same values as ours. Since I took over I have added many things to the menu, tripled the physical size of the business, added a website, created a senior-citizen discount, held events for charity, the annual car show, and live music performances, among other things. Shows like our Polish night were created due to the fact that Ware is a small Polish and French community, and I felt a good fit for such an event. For this event, I tie in a local food vendor by buying his homemade polish food from his market to sell at my place and creating a cross-promotional opportunity in the process. I believe that doing business like this helps everyone involved.

What is your business motto and how have you upheld it? My business motto is the same as it’s been since the beginning. Give our customers the very best quality food, drink and ice cream that we can, at fair and reasonable prices, and do it in a friendly way. I have taken that motto one

step further by now providing live music at no cost to my customers. I believe in not only giving back to my customers and community but also investing and reinvesting in myself and my business in the way of constant upgrades and improvements to make things better for my patrons. Better quality, better value, faster, more efficient service, more events, or anything else I can think of to help me offer a better experience to my customer.

Tell me about the annual car show. How was this year’s show? The annual car show this year was a good event. It was stifled a tad by the weather, which unfortunately is beyond my control. I planned it out well, creating a nice Team Frostee theme. I had all my staff both in the restaurant and outside wearing special Team Frostee shirts that we designed specifically for this event. My car show judges at the event wore referee shirts with the same Team Frostee design. I love putting events together and fine tuning the details, but never losing sight of the goal – to raise money for the charity, Baystate Health Cancer Care. Having lost my oldest sister a few years ago and, more

recently, my mom to cancer, I have developed a conviction to try and do what I can to help others. I plan my car show down to the last detail and hopefully brighten someone’s day in the process. I fully expect to create an even more exciting show next year, no matter what it takes.

Tell me about the jingle. How was it thought of and created? The “Frostee Jingle” was created when I was advertising on a country radio station a few years ago. They were offering some promotions, and the idea of a jingle came up. I explained to the writers that I would like it to feel like the old show “Happy Days,” having grown up watching that show. In the show, Arnold’s Drive-in was a place where everyone went in the ’50s, brought their hot rods and had a great night out. That’s the same feel I want for my place. Janine’s Frostee, Worth the Drive from Anywhere, was born! It seemed a perfect fit, and I’ve used it ever since. Learn more about the business at janinesfrostee.com
