{ citydesk } Gay couple claims discrimination by diocese Septmber 13 - 19, 2012 ■ Volume 38, Number 2

Walter Bird Jr.

A

lain Beret says all he and his husband wanted was to finish “the dance” of negotiating to buy the Oakhurst Conference and Retreat Center in Whitinsville. Instead, he says the Worcester Diocese learned the potential new owners were gay and killed the music. Now, Beret and James Fairbanks are filing suit against the diocese and the real estate agency they dealt with, claiming they were discriminated against because of their sexual orientation. The two Sutton men filed a housing discrimination suit in Worcester Superior Court on Monday and followed it up with a press conference outside, where they were joined by their lawyer, Sergio Carvajal. The suit names the defendants as House of Affirmation Inc., an affiliate of the diocese that owns the property at 120 Hill St.; Bishop Robert McManus; Monsignor Thomas Sullivan; Eastern Alliance Realty, which was brokering the sale on behalf of the diocese and Lisandra Rodriguez-Pagan and Angel Pagan, agents working for Eastern Alliance. The civil action filed in court seeks $752,620 in damages. Beret and Fairbanks, who previously operated The Harding Allen Estate in Barre and Forty Putney Road Bed and Breakfast in Brattleboro, Vt., had expressed interest in the mansion and 26 acres of accompanying property, but had made a revised $550,000 offer for the building and a smaller portion of land. The two men claim negotiations had progressed to the point where they were awaiting the execution of a purchase-andsales agreement. According to the suit, on June 8, a day after their new offer, Sullivan sent an email to broker Rodriguez-Pagan that reads: “I just went down the hall and discussed it with the bishop. Because of the potentiality of gay marriages there, something you shared with us yesterday, we are not interested in going forward with these buyers. I think they’re shaky anyway. So just tell them that we will not accept their revised plan and the diocese is making new plans for the property. You find the language.” The email is signed “Msgr. Tom.” The email was later mistakenly sent to Beret and Fairbanks, who say they’ve been together 34 years, and is being used as proof that the Church killed the sale because of the couple’s sexual orientation. Beret says neither he nor his husband ever mentioned their sexuality to RodriguezPagan. He also says neither of them had given thought to performing gay marriages

at the property, which they planned to convert into a banquet facility and inn. Beret says statements by the Church that negotiations were terminated because he and Fairbanks didn’t have enough money are blatantly untrue. Asked to respond to earlier statements by Sullivan that the decision was based purely on finances, Beret says, “I would ask the monsignor to read his own email where he says because of the potential of gay marriages being held there, we don’t want to continue.”

says Carvajal. “There was absolutely no disclosure at any time that there would be any restrictions [to the sale].” Beret, who says he is a product of the Catholic Church and left it when “the Church left me,” admits the lawsuit is not about regaining the right to buy the property. Rather, he wants a court decision that will ensure discrimination does not occur in any future real estate transactions. He also took a shot at the fact that Oakhurst once was used as a treatment center for pedophile priests,

WALTER BIRD JR

Alain Beret (left) listens as his husband, James Fairbanks, talks to the media. While Sullivan had spoken publicly on the matter previously, he is now maintaining silence. Diocesan spokesperson Ray Delisle released the following statement on behalf of Sullivan: “Given the fact that a lawsuit has been filed in Worcester today regarding the property in Whitinsville, which previously housed the Oakhurst Retreat Center, all requests for comment are being referred to Reardon and Reardon located in Worcester. Since neither the Diocese of Worcester nor any of its directors have been served with a copy of the suit, we cannot comment on any specifics.” A message left with attorney Gavin Reardon was not immediately returned and an attempt to reach Rodriguez-Pagan for comment was unsuccessful. “It’s unlawful what [the diocese] did,”

saying, “One of the most offensive things to me is they utilized that property to harbor criminals and pedophiles, but it’s a whole other thing when their might be gay marriages there.” Whitinsville is losing out on a great opportunity, according to Fairbanks, who says, “It was a facility we were extremely interested in. We have been in the hospitality business 25-30 years and have hosted showers, birthdays, weddings and anniversaries. I feel the building has great potential. We had looked forward to living in the Whitinsville area. We are very disappointed that this opportunity was lost to us.” Walter Bird Jr. can be reached at 508-749-3166, ext. 243 or by email at wbird@worcestermag.com

Schools dilemma on PCBs — test or no test? Teachers call for action Walter Bird Jr.

A

battle that has pit administrators against union representatives over the levels of a known carcinogen in the city’s public schools is drawing teachers out of the classroom. They say it is much more than a labor dispute, with one local teacher arguing it is about the health of each and every student and school employee. “I believe there’s a lot of cancer developing in people I know,” the teacher says. “I think there’s an environmental factor. Can I say with certainty it’s PCBs? No. But if there’s a possibility, I think the administration should conduct testing.” The teacher is speaking on condition of anonymity, but identifies herself as a 12th-grade psychology teacher at one of the city’s high schools. She is standing outside Doherty High School, where a handful of teachers and union officials have gathered on a sunny Friday afternoon. Doherty is one of four schools that the Education Association of Worcester (EAW) has identified as sources of the potentially dangerous chemical, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), used in caulking. The substance is banned, but was used in construction between 1950 and 1970. The other three targeted schools are North High, Burncoat High and Mill Swan. All were built during the timeframe PCBs were used. Former EAW Secretary Mike Sireci, now a consultant with the Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA), tested the PCB levels in all four schools in 2009 and the results were alarming. While the Environmental Protection Agency puts the acceptable levels of PCBs at 50 parts per million (ppm), North and Doherty tested at 94,000 ppm and 85,600 ppm, respectively. Mill Swan tested at 14,000 ppm. Burncoat’s levels came back the lowest, but were still 8,300 ppm. Those results were turned over to the EPA. Sireci says administrators here weren’t convinced the samples were taken from their schools. Another issue was the circumstance surrounding the testing. Sireci did it as part of his doctoral studies at UMassLowell and not as part of the EAW. According to Mary Sanderson, with the EPA’s Office of Site Remediation and Restoration, what Sireci submitted was “a piece of paper with numbers on it.” While the EPA did not immediately order testing, Sireci’s findings sparked a meeting between the EPA and the school district, the result of which were several recommendations from the agency on

how the schools should combat the problem. The EPA has no mandatory testing requirement and Sanderson says administrators have chosen to institute “best management practices.” She says Allen reached out to EPA project manager Katherine Woodward in a Sept. 4 note in which he updated her on steps the district was taking to address the issue of PCBs. Sanderson concedes that, were it her decision at the school level, she would have conducted a test after seeing Sireci’s numbers, given they were so far beyond normally accepted levels. Then, she adds, she would have enacted a management plan. Whether the EAW should be allowed to test the air quality at the schools is the subject of an ongoing complaint with the state Labor Relations Commission (LRC). Testimony started late last month. Brian Allen, the district’s chief financial and operations officer, says the issue is more of a labor dispute than anything else. That contention doesn’t sit well with teachers. “Absolutely not,” the 12th-grade teacher says. “This is not a novel situation, either. The town of Holden just had to deal with the same situation. Westport and New Bedford have also dealt with this. I appreciate our union raising the issue, but it’s not a labor dispute. It’s the kids, from my perspective.” For another teacher, who also did not want her name used, the issue is fiercely personal. “I had breast cancer,” she says, identifying herself only as a former teacher at Burncoat High School who now teaches at Burncoat Middle. “I had a lot of health problems then.” The teacher says she is one of four or five other current or former Burncoat High teachers who all taught in the same wing of the school who have battled cancer. Now four years cancer free, the teacher admits she can’t say with certainty that her cancer was the result of PCBs in the school. An attempt to reach Burncoat High School Principal Bill Foley was not immediately successful. Asked about the teacher’s claim that several colleagues at that school had developed cancer, Allen says, “I do not have any direct knowledge that there were four to five teachers at Burncoat that developed cancer.” The teacher says the district conducted air-quality testing several years ago, “but we never got the results.” She also says the teachers’ contract calls for environmental test results to be readily accessible in school libraries, but that “in continued on page 7

{ citydesk } Worcester Phoenix backer downplays ďŹ nancial woes Walter Bird Jr.

T

he man behind a proposal to bring a new baseball team to the city has a history of money troubles that includes bankruptcy proceedings and tax liens. Some of the problems date as far back as 1982, while others are as recent as 2006, according to records kept by the Worcester Registry of Deeds. Oxford resident Bob Weldon, owner of Black Ink Sports, went public last week with plans to bring multiple investors to the table and introduce a new baseball team to Worcester to replace the embattled Worcester Tornadoes. The team would be called the Worcester Phoenix. Weldon tells Worcester Mag his ďŹ nancial issues were personal and should not reect on his ability to bring a new pool of owners to the table to save professional baseball in Worcester. “I had a personal tax issue, and I’m working with the IRS to take care of it,â€? Weldon says. “It has nothing to do with the work I do, and it has no relation to

what I’m trying to do.â€? According to the Registry of Deeds, Weldon has been the subject of several federal tax liens, tax takings and attachments. He has gone through foreclosure proceedings with his Oxford house, but Weldon says he still lives there and is paying off his debt. Weldon also ďŹ led for bankruptcy. He did not want to delve into the speciďŹ cs of his ďŹ nancial problems. “That was 20 years ago,â€? he says. “Something happened, it was wrong, and I’m working to ďŹ x it.â€? Weldon says it should have no bearing on the proposed new baseball team. “I think it would be difďŹ cult if I was going to be the sole owner. I’m not,â€? he says. “I’m proposing an ownership group.â€? To keep baseball in Worcester, Weldon is pushing for a three-tiered ownership group that would consist of buyers putting up $25,000, $5,000 and $1,000, depending on their level of investment. The top two levels of ownership would retain voting rights on team issues. Ownership would

bring with it certain privileges, with the two higher investments entitling investors to such perks as a team ring should the Phoenix win a championship. As part of his plan, Weldon would relocate team ofďŹ ces either to Holy Cross, where the Tornadoes played their games at Hanover Insurance Park, or as close as possible to the campus. He would also look to forge a partnership with the Worcester Sharks hockey team for transportation. With Black Ink Sports, Weldon provides consulting services – he says he has worked with both the Sharks and Tornadoes – as well as bookkeeping duties for small business owners. Bill Fuller owns the Philadelphia Phoenix football team, which is moving to a spring league, the East Coast Football Alliance. He says Weldon has been a consultant with the team on “various issuesâ€? and that he has had no issues with his job performance. “I gauge people on the work they do and what they say they’re going to do,â€?

says Fuller. “Everything [Weldon] has said to me he would do, he has.� Fuller says he would not hesitate to invest in the Phoenix with Weldon if he lived near Worcester. “I would have no problem being involved with that project,� says Weldon. “Bob made me aware when we started our professional relationship that he was dealing with a personal situation. I appreciated that.� Not quite as fruitful was Weldon’s work with Dennis Faulkner, owner and president of the Worcester Wildcats football team in the New England Football League. The two worked together for about three months at the beginning of the year, says Faulkner. “It was a very short-lived relationship,� he says. “He came on board with different ideas on how we would take this team to another level. Some of those ideas were a little different than what we had done. It made more sense for him to pursue other continued on next page

money to the table. “My feelings aside,” says Faulkner, “at the end of the day, he always tries to find a way where there is money. If that’s the need to make baseball fly, he’s going to be the guy to make that come. Certainly, he’s had a lot of relationships over the years.

my school, a report like that has been kept in the principal’s office.” Allen says the decision on where to place those reports would rest with the schools. “If reports exists and are provided to the school, it would be up to the school to place them in the library,” he says. Administrative officials take the issue of PCBs and air quality as seriously as the union, says Allen. He cites a $1.2-million project during the summer that saw new caulking applied in several schools to all areas that had been identified as potentially contaminated with PCBs. In addition, crews replaced all light ballasts at 27 schools. Two schools received all new lights, according to Allen. The

work was part of an attempt to manage the situation before the district replaces windows at three schools as part of a longrange plan, says Allen. Administrators, he added, are working with Triumverate Environmental of Somerville and following their recommendations. A phone call to Triumverate was not immediately returned. “The district never ruled out doing tests,” says Allen, “but we are following the recommendations of our environmental consultant. We’ll get a new set of recommendations and decide what our next steps will be. We are managing the problem.” Walter Bird Jr. can be reached at 508-749-3166, ext. 243 or by email at wbird@worcestermag.com

Emotions ruled during Tuesday’s Election Commission Walter Bird Jr. meeting on alleged voter intimidation at the polling booths on Primary Day last week. With almost two dozen people offering passionate, at times tearful testimony the commission ended up adopting two motions it hopes will eliminate the problems that arose during the Sept. 6 election – most of them at one polling place.

WORCESTERMAG.COM • SEPTEMBER 13, 2012

A determined Election Commission heard from 23 people whose emotions ranged from shocked and scared to hurt and angry over several alleged incidents of voter intimidation during last week’s primary election. Their testimony was enough to compel the ďŹ ve-member board to unanimously approve two motions aimed at preventing the sort of antics that allegedly took place at the Ward 10, precincts 3 and 5, polling place from ever happening again. Council chambers were packed as one individual after another took to the podium and spoke of either experiencing or witnessing behavior some said verged on criminal, including the alleged taping of a councilor talking with a voter. Several councilors spoke and implored the commission to take steps to ensure that the same incidents don’t occur in the November presidential election. City Manager Mike O’Brien also spoke – in much softer tones than Mayor Joe Petty. Whereas O’Brien praised the committee for working to address the issue and pledged his support, Petty was the sheriff in town, saying intimidation tactics weren’t going to happen “on my watch.â€? He talked about photos being taken at the polls. “Taking someone’s picture is intimidating,â€? Petty said. “It’s legal, but it’s not necessary.â€? The mayor called the alleged incidents on Primary Day “unacceptableâ€? and told the commission, “We need to make this process easier in November, not harder.â€? City Clerk David Rushford was a focal point throughout the meeting, facing poll worker Sharon Williamson’s claims that he was “intimidatingâ€? and was singling out Activate Worcester coordinator Bonnie Johnson, one of the observers inside the polling place for Ward 10, precincts 3 and 5. Rushford didn’t see it that way, saying he had to rush to that particular polling place, the Murray and Wellington apartment complex, three times in one day. He didn’t deny accusations that he may have been loud and forceful and offered no apologies if he was. “The vehemence people say I exhibited, I won’t deny,â€? Rushford said, saying it was time for the city to step up its efforts to ensure the safety and rights of all voters. “We aren’t going to need Gestapo tactics in Worcester, but we do need to up our game.â€? Most councilors – the majority was in attendance – took the opportunity to get in a few words about their disgust and disbelief at Election Day antics, but Konstantina Lukes was not one of them. While O’Brien, Petty and councilors all huddled inside the inner chamber door or along the media wall, Lukes sat in her usual place at the dais – silent and leaving her seat only when she left later in the meeting. Councilor Rick Rushton called out the “few bad apples that want to disrupt grown in this city – the growth of voter participation.â€? Councilor Sarai Rivera recounted her tale of having to involve police when she was allegedly harassed and taped by at the polls. There has been some talk about whether Rivera, who was a visible presence at Murray –Wellington, was in conict since she was so heavily involved in assisting voters even though she is an elected councilor. Rivera’s explanation is she wasn’t on the ballot and had no horse in the race as far as candidates, although she did show up with her son and Clark grad student Moses Dixon to eventual winner Mary Keefe’s victory party at Pepe’s Restaurant that night. She was one of dozens at the party.

$CHOOL APPOINTMENT$: School Superintendent Melinda Boone has approved

105 teaching appointments for the school year, effective Aug. 27. The total tab for those spots is $5.8 million. According to the list provided to Worcester School Committee members for Thursday night’s meeting, 69 of the 105 teachers will earn $50,000 or more (stipends not included) in annual salary. Twelve of the teachers will earn at least $70,000; each is either a Step 8 or Step 9 teacher.

THE WINNING TEAM: Mary Keefe scored the win in the Sept. 6 District 15

Democratic Primary for state representative and made sure to give mad props to her supporters at the victory celebration that night. Two of the biggest boosters were Neighbor to Neighbor and area unions. Local Carpenters Union 107 was a big backer and union member Jimmy Turner soaked in that winning feeling along with dozens of other Keefe fans. “We’ve been with Mary from the beginning,� said Turner. “She is a great friend of the unions and supports our issues.� Asked how it felt to be celebrating a victory, he said, “Pretty darn good. It feels good to hang with winners.�

Report Not allowed to sell tobacco, pharmacies refuse to accept used hypodermic needles Gary Rosen

F

or decades, many insulin-dependent diabetics and users of other types of needle-injection medications, including drug addicts, haven’t been sure of how to dispose of their sharps - needles, syringes and lancets. In Worcester alone, hundreds of people simply let them accumulate in coffee cans and bleach bottles stored in their basements. Many others introduced their needles to the municipal waste stream by placing them curbside in household trash bags. But as of July 1 of this year, that’s illegal. Fortunately, Worcester’s health and elected officials anticipated this new state regulation. So about five years ago, to provide sharps users with an approved, convenient and safe method of disposal, the Worcester City Council instituted Operation Yellow Box. Four canary-yellow drop boxes were placed at Great Brook Valley’s Edward M. Kennedy Health Center, AIDS Project Worcester on Green Street, the Worcester Senior Center on Providence Street, and the Family Health Center on Queen Street. So that potential home buyers, business owners, college students and tourists wouldn’t think that Worcester had a drug problem, the yellow boxes were placed indoors. Four more were supposed to be added once the Main South Alliance for Public Safety and a handful of other opponents were confident that the city was neither sanctioning illicit drug use nor singling out inner-city Main South neighborhoods. While those additional units were never installed, by all accounts the original four continue to be popular and active drop-off sites. Unfortunately, the boxes seldom have been used by drug addicts, a few of the more reckless ones choosing to throw their drug paraphernalia in city parks, playgrounds and schoolyards. Taxpayers appreciate that UMass Memorial Medical Center pays a private medical waste disposal company to empty the box at the senior center while the agencies that house the other three boxes absorb that considerable expense as part of their own medical-

And in this corner...

Kevin Ksen might’ve overplayed his hand here. Despite Donna Colorio’s oxymoronic and condescending statements, I don’t know enough about the Seven Hills Tea Party movement to agree that her connection to Bonnie Johnson’s alleged intimidation tactics is something other than her party affiliation or even friendship. Her apparent nonchalance is a little troubling, but even combined with her support of Coalition for Marriage last year, it only proves to me she has really, really questionable loyalties and possibly the brain of a fruit fly. Johnson, on the other hand, may have crossed a legal line with her tactics if these are anything less than anecdotal reports. And thanks to her, the Seven Hills Tea Party movement is now under that same microscope the Occupy movement was under last year. And if Johnson isn’t careful, she may cost Colorio a seat on the school committee next year. And then it’ll be Donna Colorio who needs to “Get a life.” Submitted online by TFW

waste disposal programs. And Worcester is now offering small but highcapacity personal sharp containers free of charge to residents who can use them. Hopefully, in the near future used sharps will be able to be dropped off on the city’s busy but infrequent hazardous-waste collection days. But now that sharps have been banned from household trash, there is a demand for many more disposal sites. The obvious solution is for our pharmacies, especially CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid, to institute a system for accepting and collecting used sharps from consumers. While those giant pharmacy chains are content to reap profits by selling sharps and accompanying medications, they have balked when asked by city health department officials to accept the return of used ones. They say they are worried about the expense and liability issues due to potential accidents in their stores or on their property. But some elected and appointed officials think that the pharmacies are now refusing to accept used sharps as payback for the Worcester City Council’s ridiculous ban on the sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products at pharmacies only. This feel-good legislation has turned out to be totally ineffective because pharmacies were a mere 10 percent of licensed tobacco vendors in the city. The other 90 percent, non-pharmacy outlets, continue to sell cigarettes. No health benefits have resulted from the ban. In any case, this nanny-state ordinance has taken a good moneymaker and customers who would also buy other products away from our pharmacies. No wonder they tell health department officials to take a hike when it’s suggested that they have a responsibility to accept the return of used hypodermic needles. Massachusetts should enact a Needle Bill similar to our effective Bottle Bill. Outlets that sell sharps would have to provide a means for consumers to return them. Short of that, Worcester’s efforts to persuade our pharmacies to do it willingly will continue to go up in smoke.

Rushford called to task in election fiasco

It has to be obvious to the public that the problem lies with the City Clerk Rushford and the personnel from the Voter Registration office. In my opinion they are poorly trained in the applicable MGL, lack customer service skills and generally have a negative attitude toward the public. The polling station volunteers are also poorly trained and for that reason the incidents were to be expected. It’s obvious the obvious suspects are milking this – demonizing everyone they dislike. I think the buck stops with Rushford. He’s been a lightning rod for criticism through his inept handling of issues. He should resign. Submitted online by JDT

The sight, smell and taste of locally brewed seasonal beer ...

WORCESTERMAG.COM

• SEPTEMBER 13, 2012

Taste of the Kevin Koczwara

Beer and the seasons go together. There are flavors, tastes and expectations that come when the leaves change from green to red, brown, orange and yellow. Summer beers – full of life, fruit and generally on the lighter side – don’t fit into what people have come to expect once the days begin to get shorter and sweaters come out of the closet. Autumn beers start to appear in August, with pumpkin and spice flavors inhabiting liquorstore aisles. With the change of season imminent, we at Worcester Mag set out to find and taste autumn beers brewed here in Massachusetts and review them. The list was compiled before some breweries were ready to release their fall brews, so there will be updates online with reviews of other local brewers when beers are ready. For this experiment, I rated and judged the beers on a scale from one to five and tasted the beers on my own while a select group of Worcester Mag employees tasted the beers together in a different room and compiled their own ratings. Here’s what we came up with:

Cruise for a Cause

LOCAL MOTORCYCLE GROUP, FIRE & IRON, HOLD BENEFIT RIDE FOR LOCAL VETERAN

Taylor Nunez

When Jon Winslow came across the Fox News story on 35-year-old war veteran Sgt. Stephen Mandile, the vice president of Fire & Iron knew he had found a fresh and hopeful idea for the group he governs. Fire & Iron, a motorcycle club made up of active and former firefighters, has coordinated several charity rides over the years since its inception more than a decade ago. With Mandile’s touching tale of war and recovery, Winslow, along with Fire & Iron president Steven George and the rest of the crew, began a mission to raise money for the costly surgery that will greatly improve Mandile’s quality of life. Their dedication to Mandile’s recovery will come alive on September 22 during their benefit ride for the wounded soldier.

Mandile, a Bellingham, Mass. native, began his army career after giving himself a few years out of high school to do some soul searching. He discovered that he had an interest in being a firefighter but lacked the opportunity to push toward his aspiration. “I was always interested in the army as a kid. I wanted to be part of it

18

and wanted the extra points for being a firefighter.” A few years after joining the Army National Guard, Mandile traveled across seas for a tour in Iraq in 2004.

finished the convoy.” When Mandile went to bed that night, he was unprepared for the fate that would meet him in the morning. “The next morning, I can’t move. I am lying down on my cot, and I can’t roll over,” says Mandile. Mandile traveled from his base to a main base, Anaconda, in Iraq. Once there, he remembers that he could walk, barely,

Knowing he had to soldier on, Mandile was forced to make a quick decision; he determined he would need to drive through the other vehicle. “When it happened, it was too much of a rush. When you’re driving, you’re staring and you see everything. I saw him out of the corner of my eye, he cut in front of us, stopped, we crashed through him, and we

and was in a lot of pain. Several doctors examined him and decided it would be best for Mandile to receive an MRI in a hospital in Kuwait. In Kuwait, Mandile’s injuries were uncovered—five ruptured discs and narrowing of his spine in addition to degenerative disc disease. Mandile was then flown to Germany where doctors would assess that his condition required surgery, so he was placed on a gurney with several other injured soldiers stacked around him in the back of a military plane headed for the United States. Mandile first

landed on American soil in Maryland, later traveling to the Fort Dix base in New Jersey. In order to leave the army, Mandile would need a thorough medical review—a technicality that had an 18-month long waiting list. Unable to wait any longer for medical intervention, after three months of physical therapy, Mandile chose to sign discharge documents and leave immediately. Doing this STEVEN KING meant that the U.S. Army would no longer be held responsible for medical attention, a sacrifice Mandile was willing to make after months of suffering, both physically and mentally. “When I left, there were people that had been there 18 months and just waiting. Just getting drunk, getting in trouble. There were a bunch of suicides. We were left in purgatory,” Mandile laments. Mandile returned to his girlfriend Jessica and enrolled in U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, where for the first five years of enrollment, was expected to file claims and receive 100 percent disability. Over the course of three years from 2006-2009, Mandile would receive three surgeries— one to relieve pressure on the right side of his body and his sciatic nerve, another to relieve the pressure that had developed on the left side of his body and sciatic nerve, and a third—the most recent surgery—to fuse his spine from the tailbone to the lumbar spine, removing most discs and placing rods beside the spine, screwed into the bone.

challenges, Mandile experienced grievances with the VA, too. “At times, I would be home, unable to walk and on a ton of pain killers and [in the mail] I’d get a ďŹ nding on my claim saying I had zero percent disability,â€? Mandile recalls. Though his medical qualms continued, Mandile’s personal life saw happy times. After his most recent surgery, he and Jessica married; and last year, a bill passed in the White House allowing Jessica to stay home and care for Mandile and receive a paycheck. “She’s been incredible, like an angel. I know for a fact I wouldn’t be alive without her, between the drugs, the way they treated me and the problems I’ve had to deal with,â€? states a grateful Mandile. Even with consistent care, Mandile still needed to research other options of managing his pain. He stumbled upon the Home Base Program, a partnership between the Boston Red Sox and Mass General that offers services and support to veterans of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, and to their families. The organization suggested that a pain pump implanted into Mandile’s body would alleviate his chronic pain and would administer painkillers at the source, instead of relying on daily intake of narcotics, a crutch Mandile has utilized for about six years. However, the VA informed Mandile that the tab for pricey surgery, which costs about $55,000, would not be paid for by the VA—though they would be willing to keep up with the maintenance and reďŹ ll the pump as needed. The news left Mandile disappointed, but it also generated enough buzz through a local Fox News broadcast that chronicled his story to inspire the charitable response of Fire & Iron. After the news story aired, Winslow and Fire & Iron welcomed Mandile to come to a club meeting and

share his story. President Steven George, a former call ďŹ reďŹ ghter for Northbridge for two decades, felt a strong inclination to help the former ďŹ reďŹ ghter hopeful. “Here he put his life on the line for our country and his people, and now the country isn’t really taking care of him, and we want to help him get his surgery,â€? George explains. Beyond raising money for Mandile’s surgery, George and the rest of Fire & Iron members want to spread awareness of a awed system in treating injured veterans. “I have a dream that someone higher up in the VA might see this story and out of the kindness of their heart make an exception for Steve and help him get the surgery he needs within the VA system instead of trying to do it on his own,â€? says George. In addition to the motorcycle beneďŹ t ride, Fire & Iron is also selling bracelets and have even arranged for a high school sophomore to take care of Mandile’s lawn when his current lawn mower goes off to college. The Sgt. Mandile Disabled Veteran Ride will take place Saturday, Sept. 22, and will begin at the Progressive Club at 18 Whitin Street, Uxbridge, Mass. Registration will begin at 9:30 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. and kick stands will be up at 11 a.m. sharp. The ride will conclude at Hawks Nest on 40 Plummer Ave. in Whitinsville, Mass., with a chicken BBQ. Riders are $20, passengers are $15 and just the BBQ is $15.

BARTON CENTER FOR DIABETES EDUCATION, INC.’S 4TH ANNUAL RIDE FOR BARTON

The Barton Center for Diabetes Education, Inc. will host its 4th annual Ride for Barton, camp for kids with diabetes, Sunday, September 16. The nonproďŹ t organization serves more than 2,000 children living with diabetes and their families annually with its camps and programs. “The Barton Center for Diabetes Education, Inc. offers a powerful support system to children and families that allows a child to realize that she or he is not alone or as one camper puts it, ‘This is the only place I feel normal, and I love it,’â€? explains special events coordinator Kylee Driscoll. For many children, diabetes can often be a lonely and isolating illness for children trying to coping with testing and dietary regimens. The camp, which costs upwards of $2,500 for a two week session, gives children the opportunity to meet others with their disease, something that regular life does not always offer. All proceeds from the 70-mile motorcycle ride will go to the campership fund at the

Barton Center for Diabetes Education/ Camp Joslin. The ride was speciďŹ cally created for fundraising purposes upon its inception four years ago by a camper’s parent, Joe Hamm. Since the ďŹ rst ride, proceeds have nearly doubled each year. Help the Barton Center send more children living with diabetes to camp and join in on the fun at this year’s Ride for Barton on Sunday, Sept. 16. Registration will begin at 8:45 a.m., with the ride beginning at 10 a.m. There is a $25 fee for each ride ($10 passenger fee), with the cost including food throughout the day. The ride begins at The Central Mass Safety Council located at 186 West Boylston Street (Wachusett Plaza) in West Boylston and will end at 11:30 a.m. with a cookout, car meet, rafes, prizes and live music at Camp Joslin on Richardson Corner Road in Charlton, with a $10 donation per person.

Disc Golf A MECCA IN CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS

Kevin Koczwara

The last stop on the Professional Disc Golf Association's (PDGA) National Tour happens on a Christmas tree farm that doubles as one of the hardest disc-golf courses in the country. Tucked away in Leicester, Maple Hill Farm has become a destination for disc-golf players in due part to the Vibram Open, one of the sports’ premier events, being held there. Also, Maple Hill has become part of a small collection of courses in Central Massachusetts that have established the area as a place where people who play disc golf want to go because of the quality and the history of the sport in the area. After discovering disc golf in college, Steven Dodge left a government job to start his own business in hopes of playing more of the sport than he already had been playing, which was every day after work. When he realized that owning a

22

business meant less free time, Dodge sold the company in Virginia and moved north to build a disc-golf course on his cousin Tom Southwick's Christmas tree farm in Leicester. Dodge purchased three acres from Southwick and started outlining plans with his cousin for Maple Hill Disc Golf in 2003. The plan was to make Central Massachusetts a mecca for the sport. Fifteen years prior to the building of Maple Hill, another of Dodge's cousins had created one of the first courses in the area. Jason Southwick built a course on family-owned land in 1988, less than a mile from where Maple Hill is today. Until 2004, when the area was zoned for business, Jason Southwick sold discs out of his apartment and played the course with those who came to play at the request of his mother. Without the proper zoning, the course was kind of like a swing-set for him—he could play on it, his

friends could play on it, but he couldn't charge anyone to play or make a living on disc golf. Jason Southwick went to Europe for six years and when he returned in 1988, he still enjoyed playing ultimate Frisbee and met Sunny Cade, who had a course in Princeton. “He founded the New England Frisbee Association, now the New England Flying Disc Association,” he explains. Cade encouraged him to make his own course. In 2004, the same year that Maple Hill opened, Jason opened Marshall Street Disc Golf, a pro shop at the course, and Pyramids—two 18-hole courses—to the public. Four years later, Jason Southwick and Dodge started the Marshall Street Disc Golf Championship together, now the Vibram Open. Since Jason created his course in 1988, the sport of disc golf has taken off and continues to grow in popularity every

year. No longer is the sport a niche for counter-culture hippies with long hair. It's become more main stream with a pro tour, payouts and sponsorships – the Vibram Open has one of the largest pots on the PDGA. “These are the two pay-to-play courses in Massachusetts, and every time we raise the prices we get more and more people because the sport is growing so fast,” says Dodge. “Hippies still play, but now you're getting families who come out – the mom and dad with their two kids.” Dodge now heads up Vibram's disc golf department after being recruited by the company in 2010, and in that short time he's noticed more and more companies trying to get in on the disc golf market. “There are more than 30 manufacturers in disc golf now. There are probably two or three top-tier ones – Vibram is probably in the second-tier right now – and there are dozens of mom-and-pop

shops making discs now trying to be a player in the game,� says Dodge. The amount of discs and disc makers can be overwhelming – proven while walking into Jason Southwick’s Marshall Street Disc Golf Shop, which opened in 2000 as Pyramids Pro Shop and changed names in 2004, with the size of the shop and the number of discs on the walls – and so can the descriptions of the discs. There are three categories of discs people take on the course: a putter, a midrange and a driver. Just like traditional golf, disc-golf players use a certain disc depending on the distance to the hole and the type of shot needed. Both Jason Southwick and Dodge say players only need one disc when starting out, as learning to throw a disc golf disc is different from throwing a Frisbee. After a player moves on from the basics, they should then start looking at purchasing other types of discs. Dodge's hope to play more disc golf has again dwindled. He may own a course with his cousin, but he only gets to play about once a week because he is so busy working for Vibram USA in Concord. But his love of the sport hasn't died. Jason Southwick has since moved on from the Vibram Open, with a focus on designing courses. He designed the

Newton Hill Course behind Doherty High School in Worcester among other courses in Central Massachusetts. He has donated his time and his chainsaw—the main tool used to build a disc golf course — and has seen his business grow with the new competition in the area, which wasn't there when he built Pyramids in 1988. “It's not at the point where I'm concerned about the competition,� he says. “Because more courses creates more players.�

stART on the Street Fall Edition takes over Park Avenue once again for 10th anniversary

Taylor Nunez

Ten years ago, a small art festival hit the pavement on Main Street, Worcester, an event coordinated and executed entirely by a few committed artists and art lovers looking to expand the artistic culture of the Worcester area. Four years later, in 2006, the festival moved from its original location to Park Avenue to accommodate the event’s growth, hosting 165 art vendors that year. Now, a decade since its inception, stART on the Street has become one of Central Massachusetts’ largest arts, music and cultural events. This year’s celebratory stART on the Street will feature 300 vendors, including a youth market of artists 18 years of age or younger, three

Miss Framed: Newest to stART on the Street are Meghan McGee and Leah McGrath. The Oxford natives keep it green, creating art out of recycled pieces. Traveling to flea markets, antiques/thrift stores and yard sales to collect interesting goods, Miss Framed collects tokens that can they can hang in frames. “We have a lot of fun finding things we think would just look pretty interesting in a frame and then learning about the history of the item; people are great to listen to and the history we have learned through internet research is awesome,” explains McGee.

The childhood friends first created Miss Framed after longing to pursue something they both had a passion for — art. “We have always loved art, whether being a part of it, appreciating it or learning about it... We both

stages to host an eclectic mix of artists and 40 on-stage and on-thestreet performers. With autumn, spring and holiday festivals, stART on the Street relies heavily on the time and efforts put forth by those who volunteer to continue on the tradition of celebrating art. “In keeping with the quality events we put on now, we can only hope to keep going the way we are now. We do need more help and are always looking for new coordinators and volunteers, without help we won’t be able to maintain our current size,” explains co-creator and co-founder Tina Zlody. Over the last decade, several artists have remained since its inception and several have joined in. Check out below the artists who have contributed to Worcester’s beloved stART on the Street.

bartend and have always talked about how we want some kind of business or something of our own,” says McGee. The duo bond over more than just art, but a shared appreciation for the city of Worcester, too. McGrath notes, “We both love our city and believe that people are making some great things happen here. Since hearing about stART, we have both tried to make it to as many as possible. I think we have been attending for about five years.” Now with a focus for their budding business, Miss Framed looks forward to the opportunity to be a vendor at the upcoming stART on the Street. “This is really a jumping off point for Miss Framed.

Twigs and Heather: Kerry Alice Collins and twin sister Heather Collins are far more than just jewelry designers. The Twigs and Heather co-creators are artists to many extents – designers, but casters and silversmiths, too. Kerry Alice began drawing, sculpting and sewing at a young age, discovering her passion for art long before she knew it would lead her to a lifelong love and career. She and Heather, who previously spent time learning the cast trade, started their business Twigs and Heather in 2000 in a studio located in Eliot, Maine. Both sisters incorporate their own unique style to their castings (Kerry Alice admits to having a bit of a “punk rock, hippie vibe”), but still stick to their “simplicity is best” philosophy. Their jewelry is and will continue to be handmade, timeless and sentimental. Twigs and Heather joined the stART on the Street festival after an acquaintance from other craft shows told the Collins

Scott Boilard: Worcester native Scott Boilard is a stART on the Street pioneer. A participant since the very first stART on the Street 10 years ago, Boilard has seen the festival evolve year after year all while presenting his own paintings to the public. Boilard’s artistic passion extends far before his memories. A student at the Art Institute of Boston in his 20s, Boilard’s intention was to learn painting but discovered his influences stemmed from illustrators, leading the artist to major in illustration and minor in fine art painting. After graduating, Boilard began to do his own concepts and started to show paintings in

sisters about the festival they were organizing. “The first stART we participated in was much smaller than it is now, but it was still full of diversity and super well organized,” recalls Kerry Alice. Over the past five years since Twigs and Heather joined stART on the Street, there have been noted positive changes beyond the growth of the event. “We think that some of the improvements to the festival have been the food and the entertainment. I love to see the belly dancers and local break-dancers do their thing. Art is so much more than just the visual things. To see music and dance incorporated into the fair is wonderful,” praises Heather. To Twigs and Heather, stART on the Street stands out among other art festivals for one very valuable reason — the organizers. “Honestly, they are some of the most passionate, helpful art-loving people around. Their love for this show, their city and all who participate has been a true inspiration to us,” declares the Kerry Alice. Seeing art being cut out from their own public schools, she explain just how important it is to have passionate art lovers providing such festivals to the community. “Seeing what stART has accomplished with this show and their gallery show this month, teaching Worcester in a fun, exciting way to not only look at art, but appreciate art for how it can bring all together has inspired us to do the same in our town. It can be done!” local galleries. Today, Boilard creates surrealist paintings in oil or acrylics on wood panels or canvas. It was over a decade ago when Boilard first met co-creator and co-founder Zlody. “I met Tina about 12 years ago through a mutual friend I worked with at my former job at CC Lowell Art Supplies on Park Avenue. When I learned she was part of the planning of stART, I was eager to participate,” recalls Boilard. Attending the first stART on the Street, Boilard remembered the excitement about opening the eyes of those in the community to the talent in the city. “I remember us being thrilled that attendance estimated at about 7,000 people. These days we can expect 40,000 to 50,000 people at the current Park Avenue location,” Boilard points out. For Boilard, the key to success is the wide variety of art that partakes in the festival, in addition to the event’s move from Main Street to Park Avenue. “We started with a few great bands and poets and it has grown to performance art, roller derby, and much more… Being situated near Elm Park and having a wider street to set up in has brought the people out in droves. I feel the biggest improvement was moving it to Park Avenue for those reasons.” Boilard noted stART on the Street also presents a new side of Worcester to visitors and shakes up the perceptions of those with preconceived ideas of what the city can offer.. “My hopes for this year’s festival is that we get even more people attending… and they stop by to my booth.”

Not your typical TOTs Walter Bird Jr.

Ride off into the sunset? Not these old timers. For one Wednesday a month an interesting bunch of retirees come back to where it all began many years ago. They are one-time faculty or staff members at WPI. They number about 50 strong and together they compose the Tech Old Timers (TOT) – a group of long-in-the-tooth men and women who gather each month during the school year to mingle, chat and drink coffee. Each meeting also offers a program – a special committee sets the line-up during the summer – but we’re not talking Social Security seminars.

The featured topic for the group’s most recent meeting on Sept. 5 was UFOs – as in flying saucers and unexplained phenomena. Members listened to

author Robert Schroeder talk about his book, “Solving the UFO Enigma – How Modern Physics is Revealing the Technology of UFOs.” Does that mean TOT members believe in aliens? “No,” Bob Ferguson answers emphatically. The

88-year-old retiree, a 1948 grad and former WPI employee, has been with TOT for about 10 years. He is an infrequent visitor to the meetings, but this one was the group’s first of the new academic year so he made sure to be there. He wasn’t expecting to walk away convinced of the existence of extraterrestrial beings, but STEVEN KING he wasn’t ruling it out completely, either. “It’s doubtful,” says Ferguson. “But that’s why I’m here.” About 30 people showed up for Schroeder’s presentation – most of them TOT members and their spouses, but there was a sprinkling of a much younger generation of WPI students. One man, Mark Dantonio, was neither a student nor a group member. He works with MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) and wanted to “see what [Schroeder] has to say.” It is precisely that sort of unpredictability and diversity that seems to attract WPI alums and former employees. The programs are always different and, as in the case of the UFO presentation, almost always unique. One program last year dealt with Worcester’s diners. Members of the Tech Old timers talk before A program slated for March next year will deal a recent group meeting. continued on page 29

Sparkling MARY POPPINS opens the Hanover Season vision of a colorful movie musical with magical undertones has been brought to life with real characters explored live on stage. The wonderful music written by the Sherman Brothers, which Andrews and company sang in the movie, have been expanded for the stage with such new songs as “Temper/Temper.”

Ben Ryland

“It’s a jolly holiday with Mary…” sings chimney sweep Bert in the iconic movie musical released in 1964. “Mary Poppins” became an international hit, making London famous and Broadway star Julie Andrews into MARY PO PPIN S a film icon. Supported by Dick Van Dyke, the multi-nominated Oscar-winning musical will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2014.

P. L. Travers, the author of the original series of books about the London nanny with magical powers, didn’t allow a stage version until uber British producer Cameron Mackintosh, teamed up with Peter Schumacher of Disney Theatricals, and decided to return the stage version’s storyline back to the books by opening a truly spectacular production in 2004. Running for more than three years at the West End’s Prince Edward Theatre, its transfer to Broadway arrived in November 2006. Replacing “The Lion King” at Disney’s own 42nd Street Theatre, the New Amsterdam, the show is still running after 2,400-plus performances. After the series of books interested him, Mackintosh fought hard for the rights. His

Worcester and the rest of the country is getting the best of the best for this popular family musical. “The house now opens up like the book giving a really intimate feel for the audience,” explains Elisabeth Broadhurst. Broadhurst plays the principal character role of Mrs. Banks, who hires Poppins as the nanny for her two precocious children. A confessed military brat from Northern California, Broadhurst does have a local connection. She graduated from the Boston Conservatory before heading to New York auditions. Prior to heading out on the road in early 2009 with “Mary Poppins” debut in Chicago, she had performed in the 30th anniversary production of “Annie” across the United States, including Madison Square Garden for a holiday engagement and a European tour of “Hair.” She is enjoying the road company, “…it’s a big thing for me to work on a DisneyCameron Mackintosh musical, seeing amazing cities. It has brought me into an amazing time of my life… I got married, we had a beautiful wedding and [the tour]… it’s been really fun. I am very grateful.” The tour is booked at least for another year, and she wants to stay with it as long as they will have her, says the seasoned actress, who has performed in more than 1,000 shows so far. “Mary Poppins” has now played twice in Los Angeles. “Being a movie and Disney town,” Broadhurst shares, “the demand was high for a return

engagement. They yell and scream at every performance.” “Mary Poppins” is only the beginning of a terrific season of recent hits coming to the Hanover in the 2012-2013 Broadway series. Opening in December is the newly revised production of “West Side Story,” directed by the original playwright Arthur Laurents, who was still working up to the age of 93 when he died last summer. February 2013 brings the popular show “American Idiot,” which is based on the album of the same name by the alternative rock band Green Day. This show is selling out all over the country including its recent stop in Boston. It will only play AMERICAN IDIOT the weekend, so if you are interested don’t wait to get your tickets. The Beatles tribute show “Rain” will perform in March followed by “Les Misérables” in a new-style production in April 2013. The final show of the

season arrives in June, so prepare to snap your fingers for this latest hot tour—“The Addams Family.” Critics on the road have applauded this improved version of the television staple from the clunky New York version with high-powered stars. With new plot twists and songs, it too has been selling out all over the USA. To guarantee seats to every show, subscriptions are still available for all six shows. But first up—“Mary Poppins.” “When the curtain goes up and the orchestra starts, and that first ‘Chim, Chim, Cherie’ plays—the audience is so excited,” shares Broadhurst. And I truly believe that magic happens every night for this sparkling production. MARY POPPINS at The Hanover Theatre Tickets on sale now at TheHanoverTheatre.org 877-571-SHOW (7469)

There will also be a presentation from a White House maid – well, not really, but Patricia Perry will be acting the role of a maid serving First Ladies from Martha Washington to Mary Lincoln and spilling their “secrets.” “Different people come for different reasons,” says TOT President Neil Norum, letting it slip that, yes, he is a believer in UFOs. “For a lot of them, it’s a time to get together and see people they haven’t seen in a while.” At 61, 1973 grad Ben Thompson is one of the youngest TOT members. For Thompson, who became a member last year, coming to WPI is an extension of his life. As he tells it, he came to the school in 1969 and never left – retiring last year after 42 years. “I always knew about Tech Old Timers,” Thompson says. “But I’ll be honest. I know a lot of people who have retired, but not a lot of them attend the meetings. I was surprised when I came here that I was so much younger [than other members].” Thompson laughs as he admits that his friends tease him, “I get people who say, ‘How can you go there? It’s all old people.”

New graphic novel is a Poe-tent take on a classic tale Erik Radvon

Worcester-based graphic novelist Bret Herholz has a new take on a literary classic — Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Casque of Amontillado.”

The story, long a staple of high school English classes, pits two Italian noblemen against each other in a tense, gothic revenge tale. The reasons behind narrator Montresor’s contrived plot against his rival Fortunato are never made clear in the original story, and this ambiguity attracted Herholz to the material. “Poe leaves it really open ended and I like that about it. Everybody has their own opinion about what the insult was that brought these two into conflict,” Herholz said. “In my version, I put hints out there but I leave it up to the readers to decide.” Herholz had a natural inclination toward adapting one of Poe’s detective genre stories, but ultimately was convinced by his wife Syd to take a stab at “Casque.” “It’s her favorite Poe story. I had thought of doing one of the detective stories, but Syd kept telling me to consider ‘Amontillado.’ The more I read it, the more I thought that it would work as a graphic novel.” Herholz began work on the adaption in March 2011, but was working on a number of other projects at the time and wasn’t making very much progress. The arrival of his wife’s birthday proved to be the spark needed to get the Poe project fully underway. “My wife said to me ‘Please finish 10 pages for it for my birthday.’ I sat down to get those 10 pages done and ended up finishing the whole thing,” Herholz said. The end result is a bold presentation of Poe’s thriller, with stark black-and-white visuals. The characters are portrayed as elongated, lanky figures layered with cross-hatching reminiscent of 19th century illustrations, with a dash of Osama Tezuka’s “Black Jack” thrown into the mix. The leading figures are placed against a backdrop of shadowy catacombs, a fusion of Rome’s Capuchin Chapel and trappings from Mexico’s Day of the Dead festival. Herholz’ “Casque of Amontillado” is Poe as you’ve never seen or read before, and its darkly rendered world fits the source materially perfectly. “I already had a fascination with the Capuchin Catacombs after seeing something about them on television,” Herholz writes in the graphic novel’s production notes. As for the Day of the Dead influences, Herholz saw the Mexican tradition as a good match for Poe’s story. “Seeing that Amontillado takes place during a large citywide celebration and in a vast underground vault, I thought [the imagery] would give my interpretation of Poe’s story a unique look.” Herholz has worked professionally as an artist for years, contributing covers and interior illustrations for several young adult books and also providing pen-and-ink art for an earlier Poe adaptation, “Lenore”, produced by fellow Worcester comic artist Andy Fish. “Amontillado”, however, represents the creator’s first graphic novel as both writer and artist. “I can honestly say this is the first project I’ve done completely on my own. I enjoy collaborating, but I really wanted to go solo on this one,” Herholz said. “The Casque of Amontillado” is available locally in Worcester at That’s Entertainment and Annie’s Book Stop, and is also available online through Amazon.com. Herholz will also be selling copies at the next stART on the Street event, scheduled for September 16.

A taste of New Orleans Michael Brazell

New Orleans sits at the mouth of the Mississippi River, hanging off the coast of Louisiana and surrounded by water on all sides. Worcester, on the other hand, is a landlocked city whose only noteworthy river, the Blackstone, trickles beneath the city streets forgotten by most residents.

While nobody will ever mistake the Big Easy’s French Quarter for Wormtown’s Canal District, area diners may just forget what city they’re in when visiting Gumbo on 65 Water St. Gumbo, a New Orleans Kitchen and Oyster Bar, occupies part of the space of the former 86 Winter St., with a bar and dining room set below the

street level. The restaurant has discovered a delicious niche and is an excellent addition to Worcester dining options. Visiting Gumbo on a Friday night, my co-diner Nikolai and I stepped down into Gumbo. The restaurant is divided into three sections, with a main bar and lounge on the right, a smaller lounge with a bar on the left, and then a cramped but cozy sublevel dining room in the rear with the bare stone walls making for a very unique dining experience. We were seated immediately upon our visit, but waited at our table for quite a while before a serving snafu was resolved and we placed our orders. The menu at Gumbo is obviously inspired by New Orleans cuisine with a raw bar of unique, fresh fish, and dedicated sections of the menu for jambalaya, etouffee and blackened entrees. Nikolai and I began our meal with an order of Natchitoches Meat Pies, named after the old Louisiana parish and Native American tribe, which were small triangular-shaped pockets of flaky and light puff pastry with seasoned ground beef stuffed inside. The pies were served steaming hot but the cool jalapeno aioli dipping sauce helped ease the pain.

Our entrees arrived shortly after the appetizer. Nikolai ordered from the ‘blackened’ portion of the menu, choosing the blackened pork Delmonico ($14). These two chops were excellently blackened—a process in which meats rubbed heavily with herbs and spices are flash cooked on a white-hot cast iron skillet—with a crisp layer of peppery crust surrounding a juicy and tender one-inch-thick cut of pork. While the side of mashed potatoes was nothing to write home about, Nik remarked that the blackened crust locked in all of the delicious flavors of the pork. Eating at a restaurant that specializes in food from Louisiana, I naturally ordered the house jambalaya ($16). This New Orleans staple arrived at the table piping hot, too hot to eat for at least a few minutes, but once I let it cool down, my senses were in for a treat. Enormous succulent shrimp, spicy Andouille sausage (heavily smoked or blackened pork sausage, cut into thin strips), and thick chunks of chicken were surrounded by an enormous serving of rice served in a spicy tomato broth, alongside jalapenos,

bell peppers, onions and celery. Though the chicken was drier than I had liked, the Andouille sausage and jumbo skinned shrimp more than made up for it. The dish proved to be far too large for just one meal, and I was able to take at least half of it home with me, which tasted as good for lunch the next day as it did the night before. Gumbo serves up a full menu of mixed drinks, most of which range between $6 and $8, with specials, and the beer menu is equally impressive. Featuring a handful of local draughts as well a few selections from Louisiana’s own Abita Brewing Company, there is also an impressive list of bottled beers. While our service was a bit spotty on our visit, the excellent food and reasonable prices more than made up for it. Gumbo stands as one of the best recent additions to the Worcester dining scene, providing tremendous flavors straight from the Big Easy right in the Heart of the Commonwealth.

With a Food Network pedigree, Sweet on Shrewsbury Street is designed to be a star in the dessert realm. We put Sweet’s cupcakes to the test and were quite pleased with the results.

Since the cupcakes are an easy $3 to indulge, we tried three different kinds. The apple-ciderdonut cupcake was my favorite. It was not too sweet, while still maintaining the cinnamon-apple goodness. It was moist inside with a slightly crispy crust and a rich frosting. Katie’s favorite was the Margarita cupcake, which absolutely lived up to its name; it tasted just like the drink. The salt around the frosting even made the texture and experience as on target as the flavor. Like the apple-cider-donut cupcake, this one was also extremely moist with just the right hint of sweetness. The last cupcake we tried was the red velvet, and while it was a good cupcake we found it dryer than the other two and a little too sweet, particularly the frosting. If you’re looking for a major sugar high, though, it’s still a yummy choice that will do the trick. All in all, Sweet is a good place to sate your craving for cupcakes.

Bob Lewis

STEVEN KING

Two minutes with...

Bob Lewis retired as a labor union worker for Local 243 after 44 years, but he didn’t stop working. The Harding Street resident is keeping busy as a street sweeper for the Canal District Business Association, working about four hours a day five days a week - mak e that six days when he tosses in a Saturday. The pay is “decent,” he says, and the work relaxing. Worcester Mag caught up with Lewis outside The Tara Pub recently to ask him about his new job - important stuff like the most disgusting thing he has ever cleaned up and which business has the most trash. Here’s what we found out.

So what is life like as a street sweeper in Worcester? It’s relaxing. You get away

from all the stress. People talk to you, they’re nice to you. They don’t come and mess stuff up - not in front of me, anyway.

Who are the biggest offenders when it comes to littering? Well it’s mostly the

customers, of course. See that lady over there? She just got out of her SUV and tossed that empty bag of chips right on the ground like it belonged there. And there was a trash basket right across the street; most of the time, though, I find that the ones who do that are from out of town or out of state.

What is the most disgusting thing you’ve ever cleaned up? Throw up in front of

the Lucky Dog. I do most of the bars on Saturday mornings because I won’t get back to them until Monday and I found that. But that was just one time.

What is the most interesting thing you’ve ever found while sweeping? I found a

heck it was, but it was gold. I find a lot of gold necklaces.

What do you do with the necklaces? I’m going to turn them in for money. I’ve got enough gold stuff for myself.

Which business is the nicest to you? The Tara Pub takes good care of me. They give me water, chips and a juice now and then. They’re really nice.

Based on the trash you’ve seen, which business would you never go into? The

Salty Dog. It doesn’t look like it’s dressed up in there. There’s lots of trash outside - pizza, hot wings, beer cans. They’ve got everything in front of it.

So they have the most trash? Oh, yeah, definitely. There is a ton of trash. Is it safe to say you’ve never ridden the bull inside the Salty Dog? No, I’ve never

You get people talking to themselves, sometimes, and I think they’re talking to me and they say, “I wasn’t talking to you.”

Who is the most memorable person you’ve met on the job? A guy came up
