hen it comes to life or death, the pressure to create new circumstances that can help change a pattern of violence, alter a course of disaster and possibly prevent bodily injury or crime isn’t typically the type of stress that breeds creativity. That’s why when I heard that UMass Memorial Medical Center’s Dr. Michael Hirsch had taken on a goal of lowering Worcester’s rate of gun injuries out into the public-art spectrum, I was excited. This week’s cover story exposes how Worcester’s own Goods for Guns program has inspired a potential large-scale public-art project crafted from reclaimed guns entitled Guns for Art. With the aim of bringing gun-injury prevention out into the community in new and thought-provoking ways, the Guns for Art Coalition team members are hoping to shoot for the stars with this latest project. Read up and get inspired. — Doreen Manning | Editor

ver the past 15 years, designer drugs have given concerned parents and drug officials a lifetime’s worth of worry. First, ecstasy, taken at all-night raves, had parents worried that their children were frying holes in their brains and dressing poorly. Next, advisories from lawenforcement agencies sounded the alarm as crystal meth moved out of trailer parks and made its way across the country. Just as law enforcement gets its bearings on a new drug, it seems another one pops up. Recently K2, also known as Spice, a package of herbs sprayed with a synthetic mix of chemicals, which is smoked out of a pipe or papers and provides a high similar to marijuana, seems poised to take the public-concern crown away from meth. The concerns over K2 are legitimate: it’s produced in China and Korea, nobody knows exactly what’s in it, and while it’s unofficially billed as “fake pot,” the high can be nothing like the mellowing effects associated with marijuana. Users are attracted to it because it’s currently legal in most states, affordable (three grams cost about $35) and doesn’t appear on marijuana-specific drug tests. The packaging calls it an “incense,” but that term is used with a wink and a nod. Christopher Rosenbaum, an UMass Memorial doctor who specializes in emergency medicine and toxicology, has

seen some cases locally – not many, but “more than last year, which was none.” According to Rosenbaum, patients who come into the emergency room after using K2 are significantly agitated, have elevated heart rates and complain of nausea. In other emergency rooms across the country, K2 users have been found to be suicidal (without showing prior suicidal tendencies) or suffering from psychosis. Rosenbaum says nothing to that extreme has happened in Worcester. Based on hospital visits, people smoking the drug are in their teens to early 20s and will admit to using it. “They’re pretty open to saying they’re using it because it’s a legal alternative to marijuana, and there’s no test for it,” explains Rosenbaum. Not much is known about the chemicals in the drug because it was never made for human consumption, and even the specific chemicals in the drug haven’t been tested for human consumption. “There’s no prior research – not prior human-consumption research,” he laments. Adam [last name withheld] has given K2 a try. “It’s kind of similar (to marijuana),” he says. “You kind of freak out a little bit more, you get kind of paranoid,” adding that like those patients who Rosenbaum has seen, he felt his heartrate rise. Adam was curious when he heard it called “legal pot,” and noted that it’s easier to get. K2 can be found at head shops and even some gas stations. After using it, however, even he realizes the

adverse affects. “I couldn’t see people trying it on a day-to-day basis, because it’s too crazy,” he says. “Personally, I’ll never try it again. I’ll stick to regular pot because it’s safer.” It’s an argument echoed by Bill Downing, director of MassCannibus, the state’s chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML). “The problem here is prohibition,” he says. “Marijuana is a drug that’s been used by humankind for thousands of years. We know what the affects are.” To Downing, designer drugs like K2 pop up because drug laws keep people away from safer alternatives. “This is a great example of how prohibition drives the market toward dangerous drugs,” he argues. “If marijuana’s not available, people start making these synthetic cannabinoids.” The drug has caught the eye of the Drug Enforcement Agency, who has

labeled it a “drug of concern,” but their response hasn’t been as speedy as some would like. While there’s no federal action on the product, eight states have already banned it, with six more looking to follow suit. Locally, many would like to see the state enact a similar move. Spurred on by William Breault of the Main South Alliance for Public Safety, the Worcester delegation to the state’s House and Senate will move to submit legislation for a statewide ban. On September 7, the Worcester city council will vote on whether or not to send a letter to the state government in support of the ban. “We’re the second-largest city in New England. That will have impact to push this thing along,” says Breault. Breault also points out that there is at least one area vendor that sells K2 and drug paraphernalia, and it’s located next to homeless shelters and rehab centers.

experience is a boon, but he draws a line between correction officer and sheriff. “It’s a different classification. I think (sheriff) is looked at as a managerial position.” Of course, it’s hard to believe that the sheriff before Glodis, Mike Flynn, was doing much physical restraining of inmates towards the end of his career, leaving office at the age of 78. But that comparison doesn’t fly with Bove. “The difference (between Foley and Flynn) is Tom Foley can’t do it because his doctor says he’s disabled.” While Flynn may have had age working against him, Bove draws the distinction over the doctor’s note. “Foley’s doctors haven’t cleared him for the physical aspects of this job.” Foley, who does have two years of

correctional experience at MCI—Cedar Junction, a maximum security prison in Walpole, does say he won’t be shackled to a desk all day. “I will not be a sheriff who’s afraid to walk down the tiers,” he says, but mitigates it by repeating his previous point: sheriffs don’t do all that much physically. “To say I’m going to be walking up and down the tier all day is not what the sheriff does. “They’re trying to make this disability pension more than it is,” he argues, “(by) requiring me to go wrestle with inmates…it’s spin.” The winner of the September 14 primary will go on to face Republican Lew Evangelidis and independent Keith Nicholas in the November 2 general election.

“We don’t need one-stop shopping,” he charges. “Quite a bit of us have an interest in (banning) it,” says State Representative John Binienda. He admits, like everyone else, “We don’t know that much about it.” STEVEN KING

“If nothing else, if we can get a hearing on the bill, then we can find out more about it,” he says. There could be some issues with a ban, however. Rosenbaum, who does

support a federal-level ban on the substance, says once that happens it’ll be harder to garner information about the drug, as users won’t be as open about taking it. Another problem is that designer drugs are easy to tweak. If the chemical formula for K2 were to be banned, then drug makers could simply change the formula, making it legal again, a concern shared by both Rosenbaum and Downing. The federal United States Controlled Substances Act tries to eliminate these loopholes, but there have been issues with the success of the bill in prosecuting drug cases. For Rosenbaum, any ban could be too far off anyway. Even at the state level, a bill wouldn’t be discussed until January 2011. “The next big problem is: how do we prevent it from becoming a problem?” he asks.

{ worcesteria } FULL DISCLOSURE:

It’s well known that 3rd Congressional district Republican candidate Brian Herr’s had some trouble filing his personal finance form on deadline. In an August 31 report in the Telegram and Gazette, Herr said that he mailed it out that day, claiming “no big deal.” It is, actually, a big deal. These reports show each candidate’s personal income and assets, and serve as tools to deducing whether or not a candidate/politician’s policies would boost any of their holdings. Further murkying the situation is Herr’s claim that he filed an extension. The Attleboro Sun-Chronicle has Herr saying his campaign applied for the extension but was unsure if one was given. Wonder no more: according to a list of the candidates granted extensions by the House ethics committee, Herr wasn’t one of them.

NO WORRIES: Worcester county sheriff and democratic state auditor candidate Guy Glodis has had to parry away attacks by his primary rivals Suzanne Bump and Mike Lake over a $20,000 loan he received from Amit Mathur, a local hedge-fund manager convicted of embezzling from investors. Glodis’ critics say he used that money to help fund his 2004 sheriff campaign, while he contends that the loan was for home improvement projects and that the $22,000 he donated days later to his campaign account was money he already had. Glodis probably doesn’t have to worry about the Office of Campaign and Political Finance going after him, however. A spokesperson for the watchdog office said a new law allows the OCPF to refer cases to the Attorney General’s office within three years of the relevant election. For those of you having trouble with the math, nothing before 2007 would be able to be investigated.

A REFRESHING SIGHT: The planning board does deserve props for staying out of business that’s not theirs. During discussions over Jacob’s chosen locations, board member Andrew Freilich wondered if on the condition of passing these signs a deal could be made to ensure Worcester Sign Company’s future sites would only feature advertisements, rather than political messages or statements (in reference to Jacob’s Benjamin Franklin sign that’s been seen on Chandler St. and Pleasant St.). Discussion on that idea was quickly quashed by Jacob, who said he can’t make promises about future business, and planning board chair David George, who pointed out the board can only regulate where the signs go, not what’s on them.

NOW HE JUST HAS TO SELL ’EM: Worcester Sign Company owner Damien Jacob was as surprised as anyone after an August 30 planning board meeting that awarded him three of his ﬁve locations for large-scale, ﬂush against the building nonaccessory wall signs. (Towards the end of the meeting, however, one location was reopened and continued for a November meeting.) For months Jacob had been griping about the city’s signage laws, and previous planning board meetings showed the board leaning against issuing permits to the Worcester Sign Company.

The Rosen

Report

Signs of the times With tongue in cheek, American humorist Will Rogers once said, “I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.” Although he often sought to avoid partisanship, Rogers was a lifelong Democrat and proud to let people know it. But these are the times of George Bush, Barack Obama, Sarah Palin and Nancy Pelosi. Politicians at the local, state and national levels often want to distance themselves from the leaders, policies and platforms of their parties. So it's no wonder that pride in one's party, among both Democratic and Republican candidates, is becoming harder and harder to find during this fascinating political season. Nowhere is this more evident than in the hotly contested Democratic primary for the District 13 state representative seat being vacated by Bob Spellane. In that race on much of Worcester's west side and the entire town of Paxton, Gina DiBaro, John Mahoney, Mike Perotto, Don Sharry and Joff Smith have erected thousands of lawn signs. But not one of those signs indicates that they are Democrats. Voters can’t be faulted for concluding that these candidates are afraid, or ashamed, to acknowledge their party affiliation. Although the lawn signs of first-time candidate Margot Barnet are too small and designed almost to be ineffective, at least they

state Democrat for State Representative. Barnet has always supported liberal candidates and causes. That has earned her the endorsement of Worcester Mayor Joe O'Brien and huge financial support from powerful unions such as the Massachusetts Nurses and Teachers Associations and several Service Employees International Union (SEIU) affiliates. The unions are firmly behind Barnet, even though she opposes the construction of casinos and racinos in Massachusetts, which would mean the creation of thousands of union jobs. And party denial is not limited to just the Democrats in this and other races. U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Paul Franco is running unopposed in the D-13 Republican primary. His black lawn signs are even harder to read than Barnet's, and they conveniently omit the fact that he is a Republican. In any case, Franco will be no pushover. In District 13, Republican Scott Brown received more votes than Attorney General Martha Coakley for Ted Kennedy’s U.S. Senate seat (yes, it WAS the Kennedy seat). Due to military commitments, Franco got a late start, but if he can ratchet up his lackluster campaign several notches, he could give the annointed Dem a run for his or her money. We know that voters by the droves are deserting the parties of their parents and shedding their Democratic and Republican registrations. Add some politicians to the mix. In February of this year, Ronal Madnick, the well-known director of the Worcester County chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and a former member of the Worcester Democratic City Committee, shunned his lifelong Democratic roots to run as an unenrolled D-13 candidate. Madnick is a political opportunist. In the 1970s, he ran three times, unsuccessfully, in the Democratic primary for this very same state representative seat. But this time he anticipated that there would be several strong Democrats vying for the D-13 nomination. So rather than remain true to his Democratic party principles, he pulled a Tim Cahill and is running as an unenrolled candidate. Unlike five of the six Democrats who will be eliminated in the primary, Madnick automatically coasts unscathed into the final November election by virtue of his February denunciation of his party affiliation. Reservations about publicizing party affiliation have also struck several prominent and voteworthy candidates in other races. You can add sheriff candidates Scot Bove (D), Tom Foley (D), and Lew Evangelides (R) to the don't ask, don't tell political party list as well as treasurer candidates Steve Grossman (D) and Karyn Polito (R) and auditor candidates Guy Glodis (D), Suzanne Bump (D) and Mary Z. Connaughton (R). With so many voters registering as unenrolled, perhaps political parties are no longer necessary and should be abolished. But when I see candidates with one foot in and one foot out of their party, I tend to agree with Ronald Reagan when he said, “Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.”

Posted by “Patriotslover75” on SHAMEONYOUWORCESTER.BLOGSPOT.COM: When I saw in the Worcester Magazine that the Worcester DPW was holding a reception and open house to show off their equipment and let residents see how they do things, I almost choked on my tongue! I wonder how the city has the money to fund this? Last time I checked, there are alot of potholes going unfilled in Worcester, trash being dumped on the side of the road, overgrown foliage and grass in many areas and parks needing attention. Shouldn’t our public works department be concentrating on doing their jobs, not entertaining? Do we need to establish some kind of good will between the public works department and residents? Maybe if the workers got to work city residents would appreciate them a little more. Another shame on you Worcester!

for GUNS ART PUBLIC ART SHOOTS DOWN GUN-RELATED SUFFERING, POINT BLANK Doreen Manning

Guns are objects that inspire feelings ranging from fear, dread and anger to security, confidence and empowerment. Put that whirlwind of emotion and debate into an object of art, and you have one powerhouse of a creative statement. This is exactly the hope of UMass Memorial Medical Center, whose public artwork proposal – Guns for Art – is set to be crafted from weapons recovered from Worcester’s gun-buy-back program and pitched for display at Elm Park during summer 2011. GUNS FOR GOODS Guns for Goods, a gun-buy-back program started in Worcester in 2002, is based on a program co-founded by Dr. Michael P. Hirsch, division chief of pediatric surgery and trauma at UMass Memorial Medical Center, and director of the Injury Free Coalition for Kids of Worcester. Hirsch and former colleague Matthew Masiello, M.D., had helped create Guns for Goods in Pittsburgh in 1994, while working in trauma centers at area hospitals during a time of high crime. “At the time the violence was partial to adolescent youth in Pittsburgh, and was astronomical in numbers,” says Hirsch. According to Hirsch, the rates of gun-related cases entering the trauma center were alarming and the stories were heartbreaking: the loaded gun retrieved from an unlocked drawer in bedside table, in the hands of a curious toddler; the forgotten rifle at the back of grandpapa’s closet; the handgun on the coffee table of an irresponsible uncle. It was these cases of senseless and often preventable gun-related injuries that were the hardest to swallow, and thus drove the two to find an alternative finale, other than a body bag at the end of the story. Researching gun-buy-back programs in locations such as New York, Hirsch and Masiello decided to try their own version of the program in Pittsburgh – but instead of buying back guns for cash reimbursements, they hosted the program around the holidays, offering gift cards from local merchants in trade for the forgotten or unwanted weapons. The now 16-year-old Goods for Guns program has been a great success and, to date, has collected more 11,000 weapons off the streets of Pittsburgh.

BACK TO SEVEN HILLS

Moving back to Worcester in 2000 for a position at UMass Memorial, Hirsch was determined to re-establish this worthy program here in the city where he launched his career, from 1986-1992. Upon his return, Hirsch forged a collaboration among the UMass Trauma Center, the District Attorney’s office, the Worcester

Police Department, the Department of Public Health, the Worcester Medical Society and corporate sponsor WalMart. Together they launched the first Guns for Goods program in Worcester in 2002.

As incentive, Goods for Guns offers up the goods – of the Wal-Mart kind. Those who surrender semi-automatic weapons to Guns for Goods receive a $75 gift card; hand guns draw a $50 gift card and the program gives $25 gift cards in exchange for the surrender of a rifle. According to Hirsch, over the past eight years, Gun for Goods has paid out an estimated $105,000 and collected 1,861 weapons. “Even if two of those 1,861 had caused an injury to a patient, we would have saved money,” explains Hirsch. “The cost of [treating] an average gun-shot victim is about $65,000 a patient. We treat this as a real managed-care kind of situation,” he says. “Getting these guns off the street has helped us prevent both accidents and crimes. It is especially important to get guns out of homes where they are not properly secured or wanted,” offers Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early. “This removes the risk that these guns will be stolen or become a dangerous curiosity for a child.”

FROM WEAPON TO ART

Slide on back to Pittsburgh in your mental timeline of the life and times of Hirsch. It was there where Hirsch met artist Boris Bally, the husband of a physician-in-training at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Bally is an award-winning artist whose innovative creations often employ the use of jeweler’s skills on nonprecious materials – his current work shape-shifts recycled and found materials into everything from chairs made of street signs to necklaces made from gun triggers. When Hirsch and Bally met, eventually the conversation morphed into a notion of making artwork out of the reclaimed guns – which typically would have been sent to a local metal shop for demolition. In the coming years, Bally would work on several projects aimed at raising public awareness about the dangers of firearms, such as a national competition and exhibition entitled Artist of a Different Caliber, and a larger solo project Gun Totem. Gun Totem, a 3,500-pound steel and fiber-reinforced concrete obelisk crafted with approximately 1,000 reclaimed guns, is now located in Providence, R.I. Yet both wanted to take the gun-equals-art concept one step further. “I got in touch with Boris shortly after coming back to Worcester because I thought SEPTEMBER 2, 2010 • WORCESTERMAG.COM

if we ever got the OK to create guns into artwork here, I wanted Boris to be involved. But I wanted to do it in an educational way, with some of our high schools and art schools in the area to work with him as a mentor,” recalls Hirsch, who says they worked for several years collecting the guns in anticipation of receiving project-approval from the district attorney, which came last year.

ART HITS THE MARK

“This coalition, the Gun Buy Back, was ready for the next step, which converts Goods for Guns into Guns for Art,” states Hirsch.

A self-described dreamer, Hirsch wanted to create a centerpiece public-art project, one that focused on the many issues of violence prevention. For example, he envisioned that Guns for Art could be used as a focal point to spark community discussion on such topics as conflict resolution, advocacy for peace, or bullying prevention, to name a few. “This would be a win/win – a lasting contribution to the wellness of the community,” explains Hirsch. “[Dr. Hirsch] and I have been scheming

Page 10: A reclaimed 380 automatic handgun in Boris Bally’s studio This page: On the job with Dr. Michael Hirsch Opposite page: Boris Bally at his Providence, RI studio this since 2001, when I made the Gun Totem,” says Bally. Bally’s and Hirsch’s main target is to create a vast public art piece, which visually represents all the work that has gone into getting these weapons off the streets, and our community out of harm’s way. Bally has proposed a catenary triplearch concept for a permanent, 21-foottall, public sculpture, incorporating roughly 1,000 pounds of dismantled buyback weapons collected from programs not only in Worcester, but throughout Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Bally says they have already disabled more than 1,000 guns for the proposed arch, which he hopes will encompass metaphors of strength, passages, shelter, sanctity and safety, while at the same time mirroring concepts in medicine and science, such as DNA and basic genetic building. He anticipates that the installation project will become a contemplative piece, one to inspire viewers to consider safety issues or remember fallen friends and family members. “I hope that all sorts of people from your community, young and old, from all backgrounds, beliefs and cultures will have access and come to see the site as one of serenity, peace and reflection,” says

Bally. “There is no more powerful symbol of peace than ruined weapons, embedded as if frozen in concrete ‘fossils.’”

AIM FOR THE COMMUNITY

An important aspect of the proposed public-art installation for the Guns for Art coalition, comprised of members of UMass Memorial, the Worcester public school system, local authorities and city government along with the artists involved, is the community component. As Robert F. Pezzella, school safety official at Worcester Public Schools explains, Hirsch approached Worcester’s Technical High School to become involved in the actual hands-on building of Bally’s proposed structure, in the hopes to involve our community’s youth and to bring an educational element to the project. Pezzella notes that the school’s participation would enhance its collaborative reputation on safety in working with community agencies. Likewise, visits to the sculpture, once built

and erected at Elm Park, would create opportunities to educate students about gun violence and for important dialogue throughout the school community surrounding this and related issues. He anticipates that teachers will design and present lesson plans on topics of gun violence, prevention and safety to students while at the Guns for Art sculpture, and discuss the effects gun violence has in the lives of families, children and the community. This summer the inoperable guns were escorted to the Worcester Technical High School under the watchful eye of the Worcester Police force, where graduate students and current faculty worked on dismantling the guns under close supervision of the WPD and the school’s welding department head, Kevin Casovoy. After dismantling the weapons, the WPD moved the pieces to a secure location until the actual sculpture is ready to be built. The Guns for Art coalition hopes that while the students are working on this project — dismantling and transforming these weapons into powerful works of art — that they will experience an even deeper transformation — one that dismantles violent trends into more productive and peaceable solutions. One that shuttles the mentality that guns are cool to carry as weapons to the realization that they are no more than individual parts and pieces of metal. One that ends the fascination with guns among our community’s youth. As a father of two, Bally’s involvement with such a community driven project, especially one which hopes to impact the youth of the city, touches home. “I am proud to be affiliated with this piece and do it mostly for my children, Etai (10) and Aila (8). I want this to be a teaching opportunity that opens the discussion for non-violence.” “The Worcester Public Schools and Technical High School administration is proud to be a part of a major safety and art initiative that will hopefully bring much more awareness to gun violence in our community,” says Pezzella.

In addition, he’s the smartest doctor I’ve ever talked to.” Having grown up in Worcester, Morse often tells stories of playing in Elm Park, and has been practicing medicine here since the early 1960s. Since Morse will be retiring this fall, it was only natural that the Guns for Art coalition would propose to dedicate this emblem of preventative health in his honor. The outpouring of support for the idea, “was just amazing,” says Hirsch.

SHOT IN THE DARK SHOOTING HIGH

Stitching all of this together is the medical community in Worcester and the need to bring down the number of unnecessary trauma victims seen in emergency rooms everywhere. “I know it sounds corny, but we are a

trauma center that wishes to cut down on our business. All of our trauma centers – both adult and pediatric – feel that probably 80 percent of the [gun-related injuries] we’re seeing are preventable.” With that in mind, the coalition has added to the proposal that the entire installation be dedicated to Dr. Leonard Morse, the current commissioner of public health for the city of Worcester. Regarded by many as a giant in Massachusetts medicine, “Dr. Morse is one of the people who just takes your breath

The next step for the Guns for Art coalition is tackling the red tape in the city of Worcester. According to Hirsch, the project was presented to parks commissioner Robert Antonelli in late June, who was supportive and offered ideas for four or five possible Worcester

Although repeated calls and e-mails were made to Antonelli, none were returned, and Sgt. Kerry F. Hazelhurst, public information officer at the Worcester Police Department declined to comment directly about the project due to a “number of issues and concerns that [Hirsch] must first address.” Yet Christina Andreoli, director of communications for the City of Worcester, did speak on behalf of all the departments, stating, “We have a great working relationship with UMass, and the city team looks forward to working with all involved to ensure for the good of the community that all of these factors are addressed and that all required approvals from departments and partners, including the District Attorney’s Office and Parks Commission (if the location desired is a park), are obtained.” Andreoli also cautions that, although preliminary discussions about possible locations – with the strongest emphasis on Elm Park – have been discussed, “Location is only one of many factors to consider for this type of proposal. We must also consider public safety, security of the artwork, liability for release of the guns, and more,” she explains. The proposal now sits at the feet of the Naming and Land Use Subcommittee of the Parks Commission, awaiting a hearing, which Andreoli says should be scheduled in September.

A prototype of the Guns for Art sculpture, with inset of embedded guns With installation slated for summer 2011, the Guns for Art coalition has ambitious goals, but the staff of the Injury Prevention Program, which is part of the Trauma Division of the Department of Surgery at UMass Memorial, who are assisting in coordinating this project, have high hopes that the city will see the benefits and community-wide effects that

an intense public-art project like this can produce here in Worcester. “If this program works and we’re able to create a situation where the kids at school are not going to grab guns, not going to tolerate guns in the school, not going to allow people to be bullied, etcetera, and we’re going to cut down on the number of trauma patients we have, then great,” states Hirsch emphatically. “That’s a real deal.” Can art save a city from guns and single-handedly bring down the rate of gunshot injuries and death in a city? Maybe not. But consider how powerful of a reminder this would be to certain gunrelated factors here in the city. Imagine driving by Elm Park and seeing this metal and concrete arch peppered with random gun parts absorbed into its exoskeleton like armor. For some, they’d look and consider the number of guns brought into the city for disposal. For others, it would be a solemn reminder of a lost a friend or relative who fell victim to senseless gun violence. That’s the beauty of art – one can interpret and internalize it to their individual tastes and experiences. Even art made from weapons of destruction.

Exploring and challenging the iconic genre

Art of the Pin Up J. Fatima Martins

he Dark World Gallery celebrates the end of a hot summer and the return of fall with the cool, clever and naughty exhibition The Art of the Pin Up. Opening September 4, this exhibition features the work of fifteen Worcester artists who are exploring and challenging the stereotypical, iconic, pin-up genre in ways that are politically and culturally aware. Recognizing how ubiquitous the pin-up style has become, curator and participating artist Jonathan Hansen envisioned an exhibition of diverse artwork that questioned the formulaic and idealized images of the perfect female pin-up model. He encouraged participating artists to re-imagine traditional historical images, and to free themselves from the WWII-era Vargas Girl ideal. The end result is images that explore more personal and complex ideas about sexuality and beauty. One way that Hansen pushed the concept was by considering images of men as pin-up models. “The idea of the female pin-up has been ingrained into pop culture,” explains Hansen. “I wanted to make sure the images of males were represented in this show just as much as females.” In the painting, The Few, The Proud, a portrait of a middle-aged man wearing green underwear and a Marines’ blue dress jacket, Hansen bravely questions accepted ideas about male identity by presenting a not-so-perfect image of masculinity. “My painting is meant to be tongue-in-cheek,” he points out. “This guy is what society thinks of as an alpha male beer-drinkin’, truck-drivin’, foul-mouthed, womenobjectifyin’—but is that what a man should be?” By presenting stereotypical alpha male as a beefcake, the BRET M. HERHOLZ

male equivalent of the female pin-up, Hansen has created a cleaver and subversive image. Writer-illustrator Bret M. Herholz, already well known for his depictions of Edwardian men in his picture-novellas, challenged himself to create a portrait of a male pin-up from the same era. “Do you realize how difficult it is to find images of a male swimming costume online?” he asks rhetorically. In this watercolor, Gentleman Pin-up, a marvelous portrait of a perfectly handsome turn-of-the-century hottie, Herholz illustrates the ideal fashionable man of the time in properly modest black-and-whitestriped beach attire, sporting outrageously bold argyle socks and holding a croquet mallet over his shoulder. Another artist who references historic representations of the pin-up is Annie Libertini in her beautifully accomplished mixed-media shadow box, Your great-grandmother was the beauty of the family..., which honors the classic 19th-century Gibson Girl. Libertini explains that she had hoped to create a sentimental and cherished work. “Think of it as a memento that might be found in the home of someone’s slightly scandalous great-grandmother.” Also utilizing a mix-media method is Heather Rose, who created an elegant contemporary portrait celebrating the diversity of female beauty. “I am fascinated by things that the average person finds unappealing. I love to draw a pretty girl, but I’d rather draw conjoined twins or an albino woman. I try to portray my subjects the way that I see them, beautiful, and maybe a bit twisted,” she explains. Art of the Pin Up opens with a reception on September 4 from 7-10 p.m. and runs through September 30. Dark World Gallery, 179 Grafton St., Worcester, darkworldgallery.com.

Worcester has always suffered from “brain drain,” as some of our best and brightest move away to the perceived greener pastures of New York or Los Angeles. We don’t often hear of anyone being successful elsewhere and then moving back to Worcester, but it’s definitely more of what this city needs. Fifteen years ago, Dan Smith moved to L.A. to pursue his stand-up comedy dream. He enjoyed some success, appearing on “VH1” and “E!” with the purpose of “making fun of celebrities,” says Smith, and has written and produced on several shows such as “Blind Date,” “The 5th Wheel,” “Clean House” and “World Poker Tour.” He has been overseas 21 times to do shows for the troops in 35 different countries. So what the heck is he doing back in Worcester? And no, Worcester’s new nickname, “Hollywoo,” (since Knight and Day filmed at the Worcester Airport) didn’t fool him. Perhaps it was all the dang avocado?

Smith disagrees. “Avocado was one of the few things I liked about Cali [fornia]. Hollywood was good to me

- no complaints. But I’m from Worcester. I believe in Worcester.” “Now that I’m married with two kids, I wanted to give my family the same New England upbringing that I had,” says Smith. Smith comes from a line of Worcester area talent. His parents are Marc and Susan Smith, founders of Foothills Theater, and current owners of Blue Pumpkin

Productions. “My folks exposed me to all different kids of theater and performance art. So whether it was their intention or not, they bred me to perform.” However, Smith is not just coming home to raise his brood of future performers. He is packing some comedy heat, armed and ready to contribute to Worcester’s growing number of comedy hot spots. Beginning Thursday, Sept. 16, at Wong Dynasty in Holden, and Friday, Sept. 18, at Jose Murphy’s in Worcester, Smith’s new moveable comedy club, Wisecracks, will be bringing in comedy Thursdays and Saturdays with a wide variety of headliners from all over New England and New York City. It’s well known how well comedy goes with Chinese Food (could be the scorpion bowls), but it remains to be seen how Jose Murphy’s, known for its sweaty nights of 21-year-olds gyrating madly on a floor slick with beer and Midori sours, will embrace it. Wisecracks’ opening show at Jose Murphy’s on the 18th headlines Boston comic Mark Scalia. “He’s a Boston native and one of the funniest guys around,” says Smith, who will headline the Wong Dynasty opening on the 16 himself, “mostly because I want the free bowl of porkfried rice that the headliner gets. Me like pork.” Don’t expect it to be the Von Trapp family of comedy however. According to Smith, his parents will most likely never do a set, but if they do, “it’s because they think they are at an AARP meeting and have to speak in order to get free cruise-ship tickets. They make me laugh, actually. They usually aren’t trying to do this; but I get my sense of humor from somewhere, so it must be from them.” You can get tickets at the door or online at wisecrackscomedyclub.com.

What are you ﬁghting for? Dominic DiBenedetto

I’m still very much involved in hardcore music, as well as most forms of independent music. I still go to shows and play in bands, for it’s just what I do.

I’m certainly not one of those “Old Guys” who have excuses about why they don’t support music or ramble on about nothing but yesteryear. I’ve seen a lot come and go to say the least, but of late I’m simply perplexed by the next generation of kids. They use the term hardcore to describe every type of heavy music except for the actual genre itself. Not all of course, but a solid majority. Thinking back, maybe I was just lucky. The hardcore bands that were around when I was a kid were Slapshot, Wrecking Crew, Agnostic Front, Sheer Terror, Sick Of It All and the list goes on and on. They were the undeniably recognizable bands of the genre. When the topic of hardcore came up – even if one was not really into it, at least most knew the difference between the above mentioned bands and a metal band like Slayer. Fast forward to present day and it’s just confusion. There are many great bands within the

current hardcore scene – don’t get me wrong. It’s just a sad fact that many of these fresh new kids misinterpret garbage like Escape the Fate and Emmure and label it as hardcore. Also I don’t get this whole suburban hardcore mentality. Just because you watched a DVD about Boston Hardcore does not mean you have to mimic what you saw. Those guys are for real. You are not. You live in the suburbs in a nice home. What are you mad about anyway? The most important thing not being talked about is the music! The message! The lifestyle! For this month’s Piss & Moan, I felt that I needed to list for a lost-inFacebook generation some albums that were on my turntable when I was young. Obviously, it won’t be complete and is not to be taken as a hardcore bible of albums. Take this simply as a truly honest glimpse into what I was exposed to for “hardcore” and the records I listened to at the time. Perhaps this can act as a diving board for some of the musically misguided out there. Thanks, Uncle Tom, for making me listen to the Repo Man soundtrack.

Griffon

Framingham hard-rock band Griffon runs a charity organization called Griffon Lives Life, with proceeds going to Massachusetts Advocates for Children, an organization that provides support for “children who face significant barriers to equal educational and life opportunities.” But the band’s charity presents a dichotomy—an extension of an alter ego, perhaps?—especially when you consider the songwriting on Griffon’s latest self–titled EP. The music on the EP is not necessarily sunny and positive; in fact, it’s essentially kick-your-teeth-in hard rock coupled with abstract lyrics. Vocalist Brian Dollaway drops some philosophy on “House of Cards,” observing that peace can’t be found in a house of cards, “the walls just crumble and fall.” And on “The Weight of Water,” he compares himself to a moth attracted to a flame, “seeking light, only to burn.” Meanwhile guitarists Keith Petit, Jr. and Bobby Clifton play the aggressors to Dollaway’s docile wise man, harmonizing sick guitar assaults and tooth-loosening leads. After hearing all this, you’ll realize that supporting a charity never sounded so good. myspace.com/griffonband.

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER,

Clooney plays dark and deep The American Grade: B For someone whose career has consisted mostly of making rock stars look really cool in videos, director Anton Corbijn at least knows something about classic filmmaking. He’s paid attention to the tone, pacing and eye-filling cinematography that marks film greats like Hitchcock, Michelangelo Antonioni and especially Fred Zinnemann, who’s understated 1973 adaptation of Frederick Forsyth’s novel The Day of the Jackal would seem to be the template here. With Zinnemann’s film (badly remade with Bruce Willis in 1997) the antihero protagonist was a ruthless assassin who barely spoke a word throughout the film. We didn’t connect with him emotionally, instead we admired the cunning and determination he put into his clever assassination plot. But where that film focused on the process of a specific crime, The American takes place after a lifetime of unnamed dark deeds have been done, and instead puts the criminal’s internal struggle center stage. The tough-guy assassin, Jack, is played by George Clooney, and his very presence creates a particular kind of challenge itself. While he’s known for portraying outlaws, they’ve always got a twinkle in the eye, so it’s not easy to make one of the most overexposed and durably likeable personalities of current cinema convincible as a heavy. The American attempts to use this to its advantage, hitting us straight off with an idyllic opening scene in the snowy European wilderness that takes a shocking turn, leaving no question that Clooney’s character is capable of committing acts of great evil. The rest of the film is then devoted to showing how he seeks some kind of redemption for the unconscionable thing he has done. He escapes to Rome and meets with Pavel (Johan Leyson), the boss providing the hit-man assignments. In a curt, none-too-friendly manner Pavel agrees

to help him hideout in the vast Italian countryside, providing a car, cellphone and a map to a safehouse. Jack wisely distrusts the man however, and quickly decides the house isn’t really all that safe, so he tosses the cellphone and takes off for another small village that he chooses at random. He is soon befriended by the beneficent local priest (Paolo Bonacelli). Jack tells the man he is a photographer there to take pictures for an architecture magazine. For a while he just hangs out in his cool shades doing little, and taking up with a local hooker named Clara (Violante Placido) for some gratuitous sex-scenes that are nevertheless strangely guarded on Clooney’s part. But Jack is still in the game, and, communicating with Pavel through public telephones, accepts one final assignment to build a weapon for sultry assassin Mathilde (Thekla Reuten). Meanwhile he and Clara are starting to move their relationship beyond the realms of client and hooker, but Jack is worried about getting too close to any woman due to the dangerous nature of his illicit work. Also, there are Swedish killers after him seeking vengeance for some unknown reason, and one of them arrives, leading to a taut chase scene through the alleys of the small village. Jack becomes increasingly paranoid and edgy, sleeping with a gun every night and jumping up and wielding it at the slightest provocation. The priest tries to get him to confess his sins, to which Jack replies that he doesn’t think God is all that interested in what happens to him, giving us a hint of the guilt simmering inside. Eventually things come to a head in true Hitchcock style, at a picturesque outdoor celebration in which Jack tries to stop the assassin. At the end he finds redemption in the only way possible for him. While it’s all fairly predictable, Corbijn drapes the story in striking Italian vistas, inventive camerawork and proves effective at building tension, while Clooney does his best to not be Clooney, and pulls it off as well as could be expected.

Worcester offers a wide range of restaurants, but fine hotel dining has been largely missing from the scene. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s missing no longer, though, as the Niche Hospitality Group and Beechwood Hotel have teamed up to create Ceres Bistro. Located in a gorgeously appointed ground-floor space, the restaurant provides a centerpiece to the hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renovation, and delivers one of the most interesting and sophisticated dining experiences around. Ceres offers patio dining and a range of indoor options â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some booths are intimately tucked into corners while tables under a splendid 19th-century stainedglass dome offer a sense of community. Contemporary lighting, curved surfaces, and floor-to-ceiling glass present an environment thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleek and modern but

also comfortable and inviting. The bar is lit intriguingly from within, drawing visitors to its captivating glow like moths to a flame. The dinner menu combines aspects of French bistro, American steakhouse, and contemporary high-end dining, and touts a farm-to-table philosophy. Vintage cocktails and craft beers are on offer, and the wine list is commendable, with a wide range of interesting and unusual wines at fair prices. Fresh and citrusy, 2008 Felsner Gruner Veltliner is a dependable choice by the glass ($7). By the bottle, 2009 Ponzi Pinot Gris ($30) is a food-friendly winner from Oregon: rich, fruity, and crisp. The breadbasket features a variety of warm, yeasty rolls served with unsalted butter. Still and sparkling water are filtered in-houseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;reducing the carbon footprintâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and presented in elegant carafes with glass stoppers. Cherrystone clams ($1.75 each) are a perfectly tiny, briny starter; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re served simply and taste sweetly of the sea. A Chesapeake crab cake ($10) is wonderfully crisp, abundantly filled with sweet crabmeat, and adorned with confetti of fresh corn, black beans, and cilantro. Avocado and a dab of chipotle aioli add the finishing touches to a well-executed starter. A Caesar salad ($7/$10) is less interesting, the flavors fresh but muted. A number of â&#x20AC;&#x153;seasonal platesâ&#x20AC;? are offered in full or half sizes, presenting options for sharing of small plates. Panseared sea bass ($14/$26) is moist, thick and generous, served with a lusciously crispy and cheesy risotto cake, tiny stalks

of bitter broccoli rabe, and some simply steamed mussels. A classic butter sauce with a hint of saffron ties this strong dish together. Butter-poached day-boat cod ($12/$24) is also deftly prepared, but the show is stolen by the accompanying lobster home

Our Bites tipster cyberline was abuzz this week with a sizzling scoop â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a new hot spot is launching in the Canal District later this month: Syn plans to opens its doors on Harding Street, next door to the already impressive Smokestack Urban Barbecue (which this vegetarian loves for its mac â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n cheese and fried pickles!) Slated to open September 11, co-owners Christina Liberty and Jon â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pypesâ&#x20AC;? Farnsworth, who together coown happening college spot Bluri Bar & Lounge on Main St., are planning what they call an â&#x20AC;&#x153;evolution in after-work relaxation and nightlife. Syn will be open 5 p.m.-2 a.m. on Thursdays and Fridays, and 7 p.m.-2 a.m. on Saturdays, creating

fries, buttery cubes of potato and large chunks of lobster perfectly adorned by sweet caramelized bits of onion and red pepper. A charred tomato compote unites the elements nicely. An unusual take on hanger steak and frites ($23) features small, meltingly tender pieces of beef crusted with bone marrow and topped with a rich truffle aioli. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the big slab that hardcore meat lovers might want, but a satisfying indulgence for those who consider beef a special occasion. The hand-cut fries could be a bit crisper, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re served with a lovely house-made ketchup with fruity undertones. Carnivores take comfort, though, for the grill menu offers classic steaks and chops as well as grilled seafood. Meat and fish an atmosphere of indulgence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unlike Bluri, Syn will be a strictly 21+ crowd, but we are hoping for a more business savvy and adult crowd before the late night crowd appears,â&#x20AC;? Liberty tells us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Offering spicy, savory, and just-plain delicious appetizers to pair with one of our many beer selections, as well as desserts, and a cocktail menu so delicious, drinking should be a sin.â&#x20AC;? And you know what? Liberty and Farnsworth tell us that they discovered the location when stopping by Worcester Mag on Tap at the Smokestack last month. See what happens when you hang with WoMag?! Another tipster left us a message this week about a bakery and lunch spot in Gilbertville, that we simply needed to give a shout-out to. According to our caller,

appear carefully sourced here. Sadly, not much is offered for vegetarians except for a medley of summer vegetables ($7/$18). More of the wonderfully bitter rabe is a perfect counterpoint for small, sweet, toothsome carrots served next to a mound of risotto with juicy kernels of corn cut fresh from the cob. The dessert list offers some interesting choices; â&#x20AC;&#x153;mojitoâ&#x20AC;? is a whimsical concept that mimics the tropical cocktail. Rum flavor infuses a mousse-topped disc of sponge cake surrounded by a touch of lime coulis and topped with mint. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light, moist and refreshing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not a knockout, but creative and worth finishing. Seasonal offerings featuring local fruit would be a nice addition to the list. Ceres is a new restaurant, still working out a few details. The server for one visit is helpful and professional, while another is tentative and inexperienced. Some work remains in pacing meals, and on occasion someone from the kitchen delivers a dish, clearly concerned about its timely arrival. Overall, though, the staff conveys good intentions, and the operation shows promise. One could arrange a very extravagant evening at Ceres. However, two enthusiastic eaters can satisfy their cravings quite nicely for less than $60 before drinks and tip, and the flexible menu offers ample opportunities for grazing around the clock â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as a hotel restaurant, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open seven days per week for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night noshing. With an emphasis on quality seasonal ingredients, a creative menu, and a careful hand in the kitchen, Ceres Bistro is a favorable addition to the Worcester dining spectrum. With a bit of attention to the service and operational details, Worcester will have another destination restaurant on its hands.

Farmers markets and stands in and around the city

Oxford Farmers Market Trish Wooldridge

Location: Oxford Community Center, 4 Maple Road, Oxford, Mass. Seasonality: July - October Hours: Sundays, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Specialty: Local farm produce, organic produce, handmade bath and body products, baked and canned goods Claim to Fame: Friendly, knowledgeable, neighborhood atmosphere As if you needed another reason: Accepts WIC and Senior coupons Right in the center of Oxford, is a small farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market featuring local produce from Shivickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm, handmade bathand-body products from Fairy Spa, and baked and canned goods from Fairy Nook, as well as organic produce, homemade pet treats and a host of seasonal vendors

to entice visitors and keep them from straying too far from the lovely gazebo that graces the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common. All the prices were on par with other farmers markets that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve visited. The baked and canned foods were absolutely delicious. We picked out some colored peppers, zucchini, summer squash and onions, because they all looked so good. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the hunt for a nearby place to get your local produceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and perhaps a treat or unique gift for someone specialâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;definitely check out the Oxford Farmers Market. The baked goods, for the record, did not make it to our house. But we saved the vegetables to make veggie-stuffed peppers, which goes great as a side for grilled steak or a main dish if served with rice or a nice grain salad.

Open Daily at 7am

Serving Sun, Mon, Tues & Wed until 1:45pm

Veggie-stuffed peppers 3 medium bell peppers (Try a fun color like purple for a striking appearance.) 1 small baby zucchini 1 small baby summer squash 1 small onion, or half a sweet onion 4-5 good-sized button or babybella mushrooms (about 5 oz.) 4-5 cloves of garlic 1 cup dried breadcrumbs (homemade, day-old bread, panko or store bought) 3 tbsp olive oil 1 egg Fresh or dried basil, oregano, thyme Salt and pepper to taste Grill trick: Use a disposable lasagna size-pan in your grill to superheat and clean your grates, and to create an especially high temperature in a small space for quick-cooking. Preheat grill to a high temperature and make sure the grates are

well cleaned/oiled. If you have a disposable lasagna pan, use the trick above to ensure no sticking. Next, cut peppers in half, and remove all of the seeds. Roughly chop the zucchini, squash, onion, mushrooms and garlic in food processor with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Chop until fine. Transfer to a clean bowl and add the seasonings, breadcrumbs and egg with another tbsp olive oil, and mix together with your hands until everything is incorporated. Rub the inside and outside of each pepper half with the remaining oil, then fill each half with the mixture, separating evenly. Place peppers on grill, filling side up, close together, but not touching. Using tongs, carefully cover the peppers with the lasagna pan. Cover the grill, and let the peppers cook for 5 minutes. Remove from grill and let the peppers sit for 10 minutes before serving.

On Thursday September 2 award winning musician songwriter John Burrows, author of The Perfect Storm song, plays a rare solo show at the Piccadilly Pub. As a singer/songwriter and founder of The Cocabanana Band, Burrows’ musical tastes and influences run the gamut from Gordon Lightfoot, The Eagles and CSNY to Peter Mayer, Jimmy Buffet and Bon Jovi. “The music will be a journey for my audience and me,” says Burrows of what to expect this night. “I don’t know where we will end up, but we’ll start in Canada and go thru the US with stops in LA, Kansas, New Orleans, Gloucester and Boston. At some point we’ll get really tropical and hang in the West Indies...” Also tonight, the usual heaviness occurs at Ralph’s with Metal Thursday featuring Composted, Sapremia of NJ, Visions of the Night hailing from Ontario, Canada and Formless. Sapremia tells us to “Expect the same old school death metal that Sapremia has been churning out over the past 20 years. We have a new album coming out soon, so the set will have mostly new material, with a few older tunes mixed.” On Friday, September 3 catch 4 ladies and 4 bands at The Lucky Dog when the Ladies Who Rock Night hits the stage. Featuring Ari-Band, Renee Marcou, All These Elements and Katie Talbert. Plus, you won’t want to miss another female powerhouse coming to the city, when Jordan Valentine & the Sunday Saints (pictured) bring their brand of delta soul & NOLA R&B to Beatnik’s. As we gleaned from their website, “Jordan Valentine grew up in her parents’ restaurant kitchen, raised on her Great Grandma’s Alabama soul food recipes and her Mom’s love of Motown. She had her first gig at the age of 14, fronting a 20 piece jazz band featuring Wynton Marsalis; she’s since served as singer and occasional poker collateral for bands all over the country,” Valentine brings together the very best in R&B sidemen with the Sunday Saints, and it certainly sounds like a show you won’t want this. On September 4 Nefarious Realm Productions, Vic Firth Drumsticks, & Monogram Apparel presents The Chords of Chaos Fest (they call it a first annual but you really can’t have a first annual until you have a second year in your pocket, but I digress). Featuring The Failure Initiative, 21st December, Axiom (in their last show eva!), The Viking of NY, Battleships, Israfel also of NY, Anomia, Ender from NJ and Widow Sunday. This 21+ show starts at 6 p.m. and is only $10 for all of this music – all over at the place to be this weekend, Ralph’s. But if you’re tired of that scene, head on over to The Raven for Manny Macgyver, Free-doe, Rone Bone, and Grindhouse.
