aybe it’s the utter lack of retail clothing stores and other basic retail options like furnishings or even groceries. Whatever the cause, it sure seems like there’s only one consumer industry booming in Worcester – booze. Bars, restaurants, and package stores are everywhere, on every corner. And seemingly new ones each month. Does Worcester really have an Irish thirst unlike other cities? Or are we typical of a larger trend? We took a close look at the “booze economy” in our fair city and found some interesting opinions on what flows after you approach a bar and order a drink. — Gareth Charter | Publisher

recent medical breakthrough could add years to patients’ lives and may be the first step in solving a string of illnesses including muscular dystrophy and cystic fibrosis; and it all started at the hands of one dedicated team at University of Massachusetts Medical School here in Worcester. Robert Brown, a neurologist at UMass, has worked since 1979 to solve a crippling disease affecting about five out of every 100,000 people worldwide – Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) which is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The neurological disorder begins in the spinal cord, causing muscles to weaken and become paralyzed. As the disease spreads, moving to the diaphragm, patients become unable to breathe. “It’s pretty dire,” says Brown. But he and the research team at UMass have made significant strides recently that could bring longer life to those suffering with ALS, who typically only live a few years after being diagnosed. One of the two key genetic breakthroughs the team has helped solve is not how the disease begins but how long it lasts. “The interesting thing they found is when they knock that gene out, mice with ALS lasted a lot longer, which suggests this controls how rapidly it progresses,” Brown explains. “We’re very excited. We hope we could find pills or drugs that could mimic that.” The next step could be monumental. Brown says it is possible that this gene could work in part with the other significant discovery they made, which hints at how the gene is carried. “The fun thing is that with this second gene, there is a possibility quite by chance, these two genes may actually work together to see how a motor neuron works to prevent the disease,” he says. Discovered in July, the other gene

that it is inherited and by just having an individual’s DNA, one can track down a gene without knowing what it does,” he says. “It is independent from any prior guesses and in that sense it’s very powerful.” Brown hopes this new way of thinking through genetically linked diseases will bring doctors one step closer to solving other illnesses like cystic fibrosis. “It’s been an interesting and powerful decade,” he says. “These are terrible diseases worthy of long-term engagement and hopefully in years we’ll find enough insight to help treat them. We’re chipping away at a difficult problem, but I believe deeply that there will be an answer.” Brown was awarded the Leo P. and Theresa M. LaChance Chair in Medical Research, part of an endowment given by the late Leo LaChance and his widow, Theresa at UMass Medical School on Thursday Sept. 13. As Chancellor Michael Collins hung a medal around Brown’s neck, he honored him as “an intrepid investigator and accomplished physician,” continuing to say his work in neurodegeneration research extends “far beyond the boundaries of this campus, this state, indeed, this nation.” Walter Bird Jr. contributed to this story.

was found with work done tracing the genes in two families. Brown attributed a large part of the success to one of the team members, John Landers. “We worked with a large family in Israel and another from the U.S. and it was in those families that this gene was identified,” he says, explaining that the gene is “important in how nerves grow. This gene was known to be related.” Brown adds that now that the gene has been isolated, they can use mouse models and run tests to figure out how to treat the illness. Just how does one go about hunting down a genetically-linked deadly disease? According to Brown, their new methods of mapping the gene of affected families have really opened the doors for medical research in the last couple decades, bringing them closer to solving these complex neurological diseases. “We started ALS genetics work in 1985 and the first thing you learn in hunting a human disease is that it’s almost impossible to know what you’ll find,” he says. He compares the work to a goose chase of sorts “where you don’t see the goose, but you hear the gobble.” “You have tools that help you better hear it, but only once you find it do you even know what the goose looks like,” Brown explains. “It’s really changed medicine. The only assumption that method makes is

Future of National Guard Museum in doubt Walter Bird Jr.

T

he National Guard Museum & Archives at 44 Salisbury St. could be on its way out of town and one man is waving his finger at Vets Inc. President and CEO Vincent Perrone and two influential Washington, D.C. politicians as being the driving force behind it. Dennis Connole, in a Sept. 7 email to city councilors and Mayor Joe Petty, tells them the museum is being forced to move from the building it has occupied since 1995. He lays the responsibility at Perrone’s feet and asks officials, “Will you allow this to happen?� In a later email to Councilor Tony Economou, who he says was the only councilor to get back to him, Connole writes: “Basically, Vincent Perrone will be taking over the entire armory. I doubt he needs all that room for the homeless veterans. As far as I know, he went behind the back of General (Leonid) Kondratiuk and contacted Senator (John) Kerry and Congressman (Jim) McGovern, who pressured the National Guard to give up the building and move the museum to Concord. Connole identifies himself as a veteran and member of the 26th Yankee Division Veteran’s Association, and says the museum was “invaluable� when he researched his father’s Army service with the 26th during WWII. The facility is the only one in the state with a complete archive of veterans who served from 1775-2012. It is also home to state

military records. “We’ve been told this facility is moving to Concord,� Kondratiuk says, adding the issue started in February. “That’s when I first learned about it.�

According to Kondratiuk, a state commission voted to close the museum earlier this year. He says there has been a dispute over who should use the “drill shed,� the portion of the armory building

between what are called the “head house� and the “barracks.� The latter is where Vets Inc. is stationed, says Kondratiuk, and both operations share the drill shed. continued on page 6

“We feel to lose that portion our building would impact our operation,� he says. “We still have military use of that facility. Every month we have ROTC units in here and various veterans’ organizations make use of it. That’s really the rub.� As for whether the museum, in fact, is being shuttled elsewhere – Connole alleges it is a done deal – the National Guard says that is far from the case. Spokesperson Lisa Ahaesy says discussions are “very preliminary.� The vote to which Kondratiuk refers, she says, was actually approval of a relocation study. “It has not been officially decided, yet,� Ahaesy says. “A lot needs to be done and they have not set a timeline.� What is agreed upon is that Vets Inc. would like the extra space should the museum leave, but Perrone vigorously denies lobbying for the move. “How could I force the National Guard to do anything?� he asks rhetorically. “Although legislators are extremely powerful, the adjutant general works for the governor, not the legislation.� Spokespersons for Kerry and McGovern declined comment for this story. Vets Inc. was established in 1990 and was the lone tenant at the building in 1991 under an agreement with the state and rent of $1 a year. The organization opened its doors in 1992 to nine homeless veterans. There are now sites throughout New England. For several years, Vets Inc. used the front part of the Worcester building for storage. Around 1994-95, the National Guard approached the organization and asked to use the space for a museum and archive. “It’s important that people know that Vets Inc. was the catalyst that saved the entire complex from destruction,� Perrone says. “We developed a very symbiotic relationship with the National Guard. They know the building is in need of some major repairs and their records are not in a climatecontrolled space.� Kondratiuk acknowledges the need for upgrades and says the state could not afford what he said would cost up to $8 million to “bring the building up to speed.� Perrone says when he learned the National Guard was looking for a possible new location, he asked for its space. “We said, ‘OK, if you guys move, give us back that part of the building,’� he says. “Remember, we once had the entire building. If they move we’d like to provide even more services to veterans than we do now.� That would not include offering more residential services, says Perrone. Vets Inc. has a contract with the Veterans Administration to provide residential services to 85 vets. That number, he says, will not go up or down.

{ worcesteria } HI HO, HI HO WE GOT THE REO:

Walter Bird Jr. Despite one councilor’s prediction of doom, gloom and courtrooms, councilors Tuesday night overwhelmingly passed a revised and highly controversial Responsible Employer Ordinance (REO). At-Large Councilor Konnie Lukes and District 1 Councilor Tony Economou voted against the measure, but their nine colleagues – in front of a filled-to-capacity council chamber – gave their approval.

The vote capped several weeks of debate and discussion centering largely on a requirement that all groups bidding on city projects have in place an apprenticeship training program. Nonunion crews have balked at the mandate, saying it is cost prohibitive and basically shuts them out of bidding on any city projects. Councilors also passed the measure despite the near certainty of a lawsuit – and despite Lukes’ suggestion that they will lose. She also said it will be taxpayers who foot the legal bills. Lukes also took issue with the exclusion of certain projects, including roadwork, from the mandate. Those are Chapter 30 projects. The ordinance applies only to Chapter 149, or public building, contracts. “We don’t need anybody trained to work on streets and sidewalks, is that what you’re saying?” Lukes said after listening to City Solicitor David Moore’s explanation. “This is managed competition, which means no competition. It’s bad for business. Here we have a president complaining about Chinese competition and we’re playing a very important part in that lack of leadership and lack of greatness that used to be defined by how we did business in this country. We’re rigging the system. “We’re taking a vote that’s not consistent. We’re exempting certain jobs from the application of this, saying the apprenticeship program is OK for expensive contracts, and not OK for others. We’re taking a vote that is going to lose in the courts. I will expect the city to pay the attorneys’ fees. That’s another loss to the taxpayers.” As passionate as Lukes was in her worst-case scenario argument, Councilor-At-Large Rick Rushton was equally so in his rebuke. “When you toss out venom, when you toss out inaccurate statements, it must be answered correctly,” Rushton said, earning the first of two or three bursts of audience applause. “This will pass legal muster. It was well defined. The way this was particularly tailored it will pass muster. The doomsday scenario of the legal costs is a red herring. The doom of free enterprise? Red herring.” The councilor cited the fee that nonunion shops would have to pay, which unionized workers do not. “All we’re really asking is for companies to pay a $75 fee? That’s crimping their style? That’s hurting their enterprise? Come up with a better argument,” Rushton said. “Frankly, the issue of whether this was a political vote ... I could care less of whether it could hurt me politically. I’m more concerned whether it hurts my moral compass. This is an important step forward for this council, for this body and for this city.”

THE KISS OF DEATH?: Here’s something to chew on as the city works to make sure

all voters have equal access to the polls in November: Since former Mayor Tim Murray won election in 2006 as lieutenant governor to run with eventual winning Gov. Deval Patrick, all other current or former city councilors have come up empty in their bid for higher office. In March 2007, Phil Palmieri finished a distant third to Jim O’Day in the Democratic 14th District Special State Primary, capturing 26 percent of the vote with 656 ballots. O’Day won with 949 votes, or 3 percent. Paul Shea finished second that year with 791 votes, or 31 percent. In 2010, running for state rep. in the 13th District, both Joffrey Smith and Mike Perotto fell significantly shy in their bids. John Mahoney captured 29 percent of the vote with 1,441 ballots to narrowly defeat Margot Barnet, who earned 26 percent of the vote with 1,324 ballots. Smith finished third with nearly half the votes of Mahoney, 787, or 16 percent. Perotto finished last behind Gina DiBaro, with 454 votes, or 9 percent, to her 553 (11 percent). And, of course, most recently Kate Toomey was unsuccessful in her bid for the 15th Worcester state rep. seat when she earned 577 votes to finish third. The winner was Mary Keefe, with 961 votes. School Committee member Dianna Biancheria came in second, with 752. Frank Beshai and Ralph Perez finished with 128 and 74 votes, respectively, rounding out the slate. It begs the question: Have those elections been a referendum on councilors? “No, not at all,” says Palmieri. “I don’t think it comes down to that. I really don’t. Whether it’s a councilor or not, you have campaigns that are energized, campaigns that all have candidates that work hard and have different philosophies. I don’t think the narrow view of looking at councilors ... we could give a host of examples of people successfully running for higher office.” Still, it’s hard not think something is amiss when you also consider that the last two state reps from Worcester won after mounting losing campaigns for city council: Mahoney and Keefe.

A

curious thing happened to me last week: I experienced optimism. Granted, nothing to do with the upcoming elections caused an uptick in my serotonin — politics has me in a continuous state of apoplexy and threatens to cause my spontaneous combustion on a daily basis. Rather, it was the good old city of Woostah that brought a grin to this weathered mug. I was driving along one of Worcester’s many tornup areas — apparently the whole city is a work in progress, leaving visitors with the impression that we have recently been attacked by foreign enemies whose dastardly goal is to reconfigure our traffic routes – when I arrived at Salem Square. I found myself at the intersection that leads to Union Station, and the red light gave me a chance to take a good look at what is finally, actually, really, I-swear-toGawd becoming City Square. “Wow,” I said. That’s really what I said. I was genuinely amazed to see that Worcester’s pipe dream has real pipes – and girders, and glass and concrete. Across the street from the sparkling new buildings that are rising from rubble, I saw the skeletal beginnings of a bus station coming together. “It’s real,” I said to no one, because I was alone in my car. Maybe this isn’t earth-shattering to some of Worcester’s citizens, but as a life-long resident who has heard more promises than a prom queen in the back seat of a Rambler, I am excited to see something materialize out of the endless reports, meetings, and blah, blah, blah that finally, actually, really, swear-toGawd led to groundbreaking. That IS groundbreaking. I worked at the fabulous, fantastic, fantabulous Galleria for many years; I remember thinking it would stand forever, never giving any real thought to the fact that it didn’t belong smack dab in the middle of downtown. I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread – not once did it occur to me that it had sliced the bread right out of Main Street’s pockets. By the time I was old enough to care about anything that came before me (Ah, youth! So dumb…

so thoroughly convinced that “I” is the center of the universe…), it was too late: The Galleria had dried up foot traffic on Main Street faster than the cheese I left unwrapped in the cold case at Hickory Farms. My dad, a foot patrolman in that area during the ’50s, would have been thrilled to see the wrecking ball swing and blow a hole through that boondoggle, and he would’ve loved being able to see Main Street from Union Station. He lived long enough to see that gem resurrected, though I don’t think it’ll be filled with tenants before I bite the dust. The same day I noticed that City Square was not just a figment of Tim Murray’s imagination, I learned that a friend heading into town for a funeral couldn’t find an available room to book. “Wow,” I said, again. The third “Wow” moment came for me when I attended “stART on the Street,” the arts and music festival that began modestly on Park Avenue 10 years ago. This year, I couldn’t get near the place to park the car, and when I did find a spot it was a bit of a hike to the booths, but it cost nothing to browse and be entertained. The best thing about it? It turns Park Avenue into the Hampton Beach boardwalk without the sand! Every three feet, I saw someone I knew. Of course, the regular artsy crowd was there – they are a loyal bunch who support one another through thickand-thin crowds – but what really put my glass at “HALF FULL” were the people who are not regulars, people like my childhood pal Mike Reed, who squinted at me from beneath eyebrows that require landscaping, and said: “This is really great! I asked my kid if this was the first time they’ve done this, and she looked at me and said: ‘Uh, this is the 10th year…where have you been?’ So…I guess I’ve been out of the loop.” Mike’s a lawyer. Say no more. What matters is this: Mike came down, and Mike’s going to return next year. I bought tiny handmade slippers for my grandson, I heard a couple of fiddlers play some good tunes, and I even saw Konnie Lukes wearing a straw chapeau worthy of Audrey Hepburn. That alone was worth the price of admission. Three good things in one week nearly sent my reputation as a skeptic into orbit. If Worcester doesn’t cut the nonsense, I could end up downright upbeat, and we all know how painful that can be, don’t we?

How foolish of some people to think it is so American to want to raise our gas tax and income tax. In my opinion, that is as Anti American as it gets. Mary Keefe’s views on raising taxes is dangerous. Some people who post here need to use fewer adjectives and use more brain cells when writing. -Submitted online by WO RKING STIFF

Bottoms up

Package store. Bar. Night club. Pub. Restaurant.

A drive around Worcester presents this scene on something of an infinite loop. Sure, there are courthouses, and repair shops of all sorts, and some Ivy-dressed bastions of higher learning tossed into the mix, but if we’re honest about what we see, the current landscape of Worcester seems quietly dominated by one thing— booze. As Ken Burns pointed out in his most

recent PBS documentary “Prohibition,” modern Americans drink just a fraction of the alcohol that our forefathers imbibed. While today’s Worcester may not be quite as rambunctious as those harddrinking days of yore, alcohol sales and consumption are on a noteworthy rise and there is no denying that alcoholbacked dollars run strong through the city’s streets. A trip through Worcester’s downtown on a Saturday night is rife with scenes not so far removed from those old saloon days. Worcester, like any city, would understandably prefer to tout facts and figures regarding industries like technology, health care and education, but there is no denying that alcohol is a major component of the city’s economy.

As the national economy has tanked and other industries face cutbacks, flat sales and tight profit margins, the alcohol trade has been on a steady decade-long rise. When the going gets tough, the tough get drinking. Worcester is no exception.

owner. Once granted, a license to operate a bar or package store in Central Massachusetts is as close to a tenured position with profit potential as one can find in the business world.

In Massachusetts, the amount of liquor licenses a municipality can grant is pegged to population. As of the 2010 federal census, Worcester clocked in at 181,045 officially numerated souls. A population of that size lends Worcester the ability to approve an unlimited amount of Section 12 permits, a.k.a. “pouring licenses.” These are the permits needed by restaurants, pubs and bar owners to serve beer, wine and spirits. The city’s population also qualifies it to grant 37 Section 15 liquor licenses, a.k.a. “package store” permits. Considering that the city limits encompass 37.6 square miles, that’s just about one package store per every mile in the Heart of the Commonwealth. In addition to these numbers, the city can also grant licenses to Veteran’s Clubs irrespective of the statemandated quotas.

up significantly. According to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, the past decade has been something of a boom time for the industry, with sales up across the board and soaring in specialized high-end niches. The data shows that Americans have steadily bought more alcohol each and every year since 2002. In a down economy, when many are not in a position to purchase a sparkling new Lexus or take a trip to the Bahamas, a $60 bottle of vodka just might serve as a more accessible luxury substitute.

Single malt scotch, once reserved for the liquor cabinets of Don Draper types, have increased 70 percent over the past decade as well. The growth is not limited to the high end of the market, as more mid- and low-priced offerings are arriving in stores.

THE ALCOHOL WORKFORCE The economic activity of alcohol is nothing but staggering when viewed from a birdseye perspective. One can follow the labor statistics and see bottles rolling off the plant assembly lines, being packed into trucks, driven across town, unloaded at retail stores and restaurants, unpacked and placed on shelves, served in glasses alongside $30 entrĂŠes, and so on. The economic heft behind a simple libation is impressive, with millions employed nationwide and many thousands here in Worcester as a result of it. In a city with unlimited bar-licensing potential and a robust number of package store licenses like Worcester, the economy of booze adds up to very real numbers. There are at least 150 bars, nightclubs, taverns, pubs, cafĂŠs, and restaurants serving alcohol within the city limits. More than 1,000 people in the Worcester area are employed as bartenders, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), with many thousands more employed bottling, packing, distributing and serving alcoholic beverages. Alcohol dollars are everywhere in the city, from cheap draught beer guzzled by college students to high-end restaurants with expansive wine pairings, the booze business is running full steam ahead. Michael and Mark Erlich have owned Perfect Game Sports Bar & Grill on Water Street for three years. Lawyers by trade, the Erlichs employ a full- and part-time staff between 25-30 employees. “Almost all of them are local,â€? says Michael Erlich. “A lot come from schools, colleges in the area.â€? The BLS data also shows that Worcester County is one of the better places in the nation to make a living in the booze trade, with higher than average wages paid and more full-time jobs in the food/restaurant/ service sector than the rest of the country. Being a package-store clerk, bartender, or restaurant server in Worcester is not just for students or part-time workers—careers are built upon and sustained by the volume of alcohol sales in the area. Built in 1901, The Hotel Vernon sports one of the city’s oldest bars – and it still has a speakeasy in the basement. Bartender Cheryle Crane’s explanation of the bar boom in Worcester hits you like a

shot of tequila with both immediate bite and lingering nuances: “We all need our medicine.â€? Crane drives all the way from Fitchburg just to work part-time at the Vernon— she is one of a half-dozen part-time employees at the bar, most of them hailing from Worcester. Doesn’t Fitchburg have its own bars, she is asked. “Yeah,â€? she says, “but not a cool one like this.â€? The NU CafĂŠ on Chandler Street has been pulling in customers steadily since it opened about three years ago. Until recently, it did so without the lure of alcohol, but that changed a month or two back when owner Josh Van Dyke received a permit to sell beer and wine. The move is paying off, according to supervisor Samantha Veilleux. “It’s definitely on its way there, for sure,â€? she says of more customer traffic now that beer is on the menu. “A lot of people still aren’t aware of it, but I think it has helped a lot.â€? Revenue definitely played a part in the decision making when it came to seeking a beer and wine permit, but Veilleux says Van Dyke also wanted to separate his destination from the more traditional cafĂŠs. While she did not have exact numbers, Veilleux says the cafĂŠ has added employees, a result of extended hours. The new help includes a server and kitchen staff. There might be more hires if Van Dyke ultimately files for a full liquor permit – something Veilleux says is a possibility. “I think he’s trying to ease into it,â€? she says.

A VIEW FROM THE SHELVES While national alcohol sales trends may be way up in large part because of increased sales off the high-end shelves, the local retail sector reports more down-to-earth figures. “I have not seen it go way up,� says Andy Novakoski, a manager at Austin Liquors, a 30-year-old fixture on Gold Star Boulevard. “I’d say it’s been more like ups and downs, just like the economy for everybody.� Novakoski started in the retail liquor business in 2002, and has kept a keen eye on the trends of his Central Mass customer base over the decade. “With the overall change in the economy, we’ve seen a lot of people tending to trade down to better-value products. People ask more about our specials and our sales,� Novakoski says. “Instead of Grey Goose vodka, we’ll see customers going for a less expensive mid-

shelf brand. Everybody’s interested in trading down and getting a good-quality product for less, if it’s possible.” Austin Liquors best-selling bottle? The store’s own, distilled right here in Massachusetts. “The Austin Liquors vodka is our best selling product,” Novakoski says with a hint of pride. The spirit, priced at $10.99 for a 1.75-liter bottle, is stacked in a pyramid in the store. “We make sure to have plenty of it in stock,” he says. “When there’s a big football game or some other happening that causes us to see an uptick, this is always in demand.” According to Novakoski, the shelves at Austin Liquors have more or less remained the same over the decade, but there has been an influx in micro-brewed products and flavored vodkas. “We always keep the big national brands people want in stock—the Captain Morgan’s and the Stoli’s, for example. But we also do keep stock in higher-end and new products. Vodka in particular has exploded with the amount of new flavors being offered. We’re literally getting new flavors in each week. There’s stuff now that I never hear about until I’m taking it out of the case.” The brown spirit section of the store boasts several small and ultra-small batch

In 2006, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) set out to calculate the “other costs” of alcohol consumption. Ignoring the long-term price of one drink a day, the agency focused on what it deemed to be “excessive” amounts of alcohol use. In its study, the CDC defined excessive drinking as “consuming more than one alcoholic beverage per day for women and an average of more than two per day for men.” Statistics for alcohol use by pregnant women and underage drinkers were also included in the sampling. When the CDC researchers crunched the numbers, they found that the cost of excessive alcohol consumption in the United States totaled some $223.5 billion. Almost three-quarters of these costs came from binge drinking—taking down four or more beverages in one occasion, the report said. The cost of binge drinking adds up to an extra $1.90 “tax” on each alcoholic drink consumed, that tax coming out of

everyone’s pockets in indirect economic ways. The CDC researchers found that the costs largely resulted from losses in workplace productivity. Workers rolling in blearyeyed on Monday mornings accounted for a whopping 72 percent of the total cost, while health-care expenses for problems caused by excessive imbibing came in at 11 percent. “The research captures the reality that binge drinking means binge spending and, left unchecked, the burdensome cost of excessive drinking will only go up,� says CDC director Thomas Frieden. “Unfortunately the hangover is being passed on to all of us in the workplace and the health and criminal justice systems.� Within Worcester, there are nearly a dozen alcohol treatment and counseling

We need to work to change the cultural norms surrounding that.� After receiving treatment at Community Healthlink, Ekstrom’s clients often are paired with Alcoholics Anonymous or STEVEN KING

Deborah Ekstrom is the president and CEO of Community Healthlink, a Worcester-based detox and mental healthcare provider. When asked if her organization’s workload has increased along with the decade-long rise in alcohol sales, Ekstrom gives a telling answer. “I don’t know if I can say that we’ve seen an increase, because we’re always full. We see about 3,800 detox admissions a year,� Ekstrom states. The people treated at Community Healthlink generally arrive in dire circumstances, and often alcohol is just one substance of many wreaking havoc on their bodies and lives. The process of detoxifying a person from solely alcohol can be taxing. “Our clients typically arrive in an acute state, and we spend four to five days

other 12-step programs. Meetings are scheduled every day of the week in Worcester, starting as early as 7 a.m. or well into the late night. There are meetings tailored for the young, old, gay, heterosexual, English- and Spanishspeaking populations. In a city that doesn’t shy away from embracing the alcohol trade, this is the flipside. Barroom cash registers ringing just steps from churches hosting AA meetings are not unique to Worcester. Perhaps the perception of a drinking dominance is rooted in the absence of other business sectors growing in the city. An increase in other retail offerings would mix well with all of the booze. More importantly, an increase in city employers that bring people to the city Monday through Friday and result in a need for additional retail and consumer offerings may be the real elixir. That’s something we could all toast. Walter Bird Jr. contributed to this story.

Festival of Ale

Ashley Klann

The Higgins Armory Museum is welcoming the public back in time to celebrate one of the oldest beverages known to man at the 12th annual Festival of Ale. To fully appreciate this time-honored tradition, Higgins invites all lords and ladies to lift their steins, surrounded by medieval armor, and taste what some local brewers have to offer. When the Higgins first started the festival more than a decade ago, only five brewers gathered in one room in the museum, a far cry from this year’s 23 breweries serving more than 70 beers to hundreds of expected attendees. “It started because a lot of staff liked beer. [And] that was really when a lot of microbreweries were just starting to get big,” said Devon Kurtz, director of education at the museum. “We saw resounding success. It was way bigger than we had ever expected.” Of the 23 breweries coming to the Festival of Ale this year, Kurtz had the pleasure of visiting four of them this summer: Jack’s Abby in Framingham, Worcester’s own Wormtowm, John Harvard’s in Cambridge, and Samuel Adams in Boston, some of which incorporate old-time additions to their process. “One of the coolest stories is at Jack’s Abby. They use an unusual bottle that they have to import from Germany,” says Kurtz. “They’re importing the right type of beer bottle for the beer they make.” Beyond beer tastings, the Festival of Ale will be featuring live music by local band Friday Farewells and educational seminars by Homebrew Emporium & Taza Chocolate with Slumbrew. A raffle featuring local merchants and gifts for the beer lover will also be held. Chili by Wild Willy’s Burgers and barbecue food from Smokestack Urban Barbecue will be available for purchase. And don’t forget the souvenir photo booth. Kurtz says that the Festival of Ale is a unique experience, even for beer aficionados accustomed to tasting events. “Having been to beer fests in huge convention centers mobbed with people, I can say that this is a much more intimate experience,” he promises. You won’t be fighting off crowds at the Festival of Ale, but you might run into a knight or two – something the Higgins incorporates to bring attendees back in time. “The venue is just so cool for drinking beer when you think about it. There’s cool stone, staffers walking

He spent nine months as a Prisoner of War during World War II and served his country proudly and without question from August 1942 to September 1945. I ask him if he was scared when the plane he was on took enemy fire. “I was never scared,” Lerner tells me. “I knew I had a job to do. I knew I had to jump out before it blew up. I knew I shouldn’t open my parachute until I was at low altitude. I had to make sure the other guys got out. I wasn’t frightened.” He wasn’t frightened. In a plane about to crash. A burning plane. It was his job. I had called Lerner because my colleague, photographer Steven King, and I had asked and been

All three are part of the Wings of Freedom Tour and were set to fly out of Hyannis on Friday and into Worcester Regional Airport. I was hoping to find a local veteran who might have known someone who flew aboard one of the planes. Worcester Veterans’ Agent Karen Greenwood put me in touch with Lerner. I call and ask if he knows anyone who flew on a B-17, a B-24 or Mustang. He says, “I did. I flew on two of them.” He later tells me he is also going to Hyannis and flying back into Worcester. For me the opportunity was too good to pass up. It was so enticing that I completely forgot I’m

terrified to fly. I’m afraid of heights. Oh, and I get sick riding in a car. When the reality set in that I had voluntarily agreed to fly on a plane that had been in service more than 20 years before I entered this world, the jitters set in. Of course, I couldn’t back out. So I tried not to think about it. But I couldn’t stop. Me? On a plane? A WWII plane? And then King tells me the B-24 has a history of crashing. Thanks, Steven. And then I met Irving Lerner. After he landed safely from the burning plane, he was captured by a German anti-aircraft crew. He had jumped only after making sure everyone else on the plane leapt to safety – all but one guy. “I had one man, the bombardier,” says Lerner. “He didn’t want to jump. He wouldn’t let me put the parachute on him. I couldn’t force him to jump. He never made it.” Lerner was on his 35th mission. The young bombardier was on his first. Lerner was aboard because he had been elevated to the role of crew instructor after flying 30 missions. It was his job to train new crews. He wasn’t

We’ve been in the air less than an hour, but nausea had set in. Our flight engineer hands me a bag and assures me we’ll be on the ground soon. As I’m about to lose my breakfast, I see two things: our photographer filming me – thanks, Steven – and Lerner, sitting in his seat looking at me. He smiles and then makes a fake vomit sound. “Are you mocking me?” I ask him incredulously. Yes, yes he is. With that, I crumble up the bag and announce, “I made it!” It’s a small triumph for me and, yes, it is embarrassing to know I’m excited to have escaped without hurling my guts out while just a few feet away from me sits a man who escaped from a burning plane, lived in captivity for nine months and is flying aboard a plane he hadn’t stepped foot in since 1943. When we land in Worcester, my father and son are waiting for me. I introduce them to Lerner and he tells me, “I’ll see you next year.” I didn’t hesitate. “It’s a date. Next year we fly the B-17.” You know what? I’m pretty sure Lerner is going to hold me to it – and it would be an honor.

For his heroics, he was captured by Germans and kept captive for the better part of the next year.

I take a turn in the tail gun turret and sit breathless at the thought that someone – many others before me – occupied this very seat and fired the gun that was now inactive. As I move about I take a look at Lerner, sitting at the front of the plane. He came on board with his 21-year-old grandson. A guy nine years shy of 100 was gazing around the plane with a look of wonder – and no doubt experiencing a flood of memories. And here I was scared shitless. What if we crash?

Hanover Theatre’s leap into high-tech future

Walter Bird Jr.

SCOTT ERB

To say the Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts is vastly different than its predecessor is an understatement to say the least. First and foremost, whereas Showcase Cinemas was a multi-theater complex that showed the latest Hollywood releases, Hanover welcomes musicians, theater groups and other performing artists to take center stage. Of course, the physical changes to the building, inside and out, are what first catch your eye. What you probably don’t notice are uses of technology and other changes to the operation of a building that has seen many incarnations since being built more than 100 years ago.

The most notable technological advance is one that is expected to take hold this month. In both an effort to save money – even nonprofits need to generate revenue – and be a strong community partner, Hanover is distancing itself from a reliance on traditional energy sources and going solar. Working through Boston law firm Prince Lobel Tye, the theatre partnered with Borrego Solar, a Californiabased company with an office in Lowell. Borrego built a solar field off Stafford

Cinema days, when plastic ruled and litter could be found in every row of every theater. Back then recycling wasn’t the rage it is now, so waste was inevitable. The same could be said for energy consumption. Whereas movie theaters like Showcase would keep their lights on at all times, Hanover is much more conservative – so much so, Hudson says, that all lights are turned off and on manually. If no one is in a room, the lighting is extinguished. Not something guests would notice – but certainly something the conservationist might appreciate. A really cool technological change is in the management of heat and air conditioning. The theatre’s entire HVAC unit can be remotely operated. “Basically,” says Hudson, “I can be at home watching the World Series and log onto my computer and check out the theatre. If something doesn’t seem right, I can adjust the temperature right from here. It’s pretty cool.” Rooms are regulated based on occupancy. In “occupied” mode the temperature might be higher or lower depending on the need. When it is “unoccupied,” the temperature is automatically adjusted. If the heat was lowered, for example, the temperature would go up about 10 The staff of The Hanover Theatre embraces new technology by going solar. degrees, according to Hudson.

Pendleton is a volunteer from Grafton. When she wants to know her schedule she can simply log onto to her computer and look. She can go so far as to make note of a day she wants off and ask other employees to fill in. “It’s all computerized,” says Pendleton. “You can go check the schedule and see who’s working.” Another volunteer, Worcester’s Tammy Noone, is thrilled with the new technology. “I used to get so frustrated with the lack of technology,” she says. “Now I just go in, and I choose which shifts I want. It even gives you 24-hour and 60-minute notices as to when your shift starts.” With the introduction of solar power, Hanover isn’t the first theater in the country to incorporate new technology. It just may be, however, among the best at doing so. “This is where it’s headed,” says Hudson. “We can’t find another theater in performing arts that gets as much energy from alternative sources. We think we are one of, if not the, highest users of sustainable energy in the country.” It is worth noting that, over at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), the green movement is in full swing. The school’s theater is hosting a performance of “Pirates of Penzance.” Guests will be given a one-sheet program containing a special code that can be scanned with a mobile device, which will allow the audience to access more information – and save a few trees in the process.

around in suits of armor – it’s a fun festive night to drink beer, and gives you a whole new look at the museum,” Kurtz says. Kurtz says each year the event draws a diverse crowd from all walks of life. “It’s a great cross section,” he says. “It’s 20 somethings and 70 somethings. Everyone seems to love the museum, and they love beer and being out with their friends. It’s a very happy crowd.” Something else this happy crowd loves? Interacting with the armor that comes to life at the Festival of Ale. Kurtz has been the man in the suit and says that the jolly group plays along. “I’ve been in the suit for the entire night. It’s so much fun. Most often, they all want to buy me a beer,” he says with a laugh. The educational component at the Festival of Ale invites participants to get into the business of beer and learn how to make their own, a trick that dates back to the Assyrians. Homebrew Emporium, the country’s largest home-brew chain, located locally in West Boylston, will be giving demonstrations. “When I give the talk, part of it is a history thing,” says Bruce Lucier, owner and manager. He explains that throughout history, as civilizations grew, humans needed a way to make sure water was sanitary. “Beer was safe to drink. Once you start getting large settlements and a lot of human waste, you’re getting typhoid and all these diseases caused by lack of sanitation. When you make beer, you’re boiling it,” he

says. “Beer made civilization possible.” Lucier will be doing a short demo, whipping up a small batch of beer right at the festival. He says, “It’s pretty simple, like making soup.” Worcester’s own Wormtown Brewery is bringing four of its beers to the festival including its seasonal pumpkin made with local ingredients, Be Hoppy IPA, Seven Hills Pale Ale, and a fourth choice that brew master Ben Roesch says will be a wild card. “We have a lot of different ones we make in small quantities. Some based on old German styles,” he says. “That last one will probably be decided on what’s closest to the cooler door and what’s in the tank.” This will mark the third year Wormtown has participated in the Festival of Ale, and Roesch says they love the unique chance every year. “This is really one of the highlights of the beer fest schedule,” he said. “You’re surrounded by armor, weapons – it’s pretty unique. I also like seeing the camaraderie of local brewers.” All proceeds raised through food and ticket sales benefit the programs at the Higgins. Kurtz says this is the museum’s biggest fundraiser and largest evening public event. The money raised helps keep Higgins, the only steel and glass castle in the United States, a fun and educational local spot. Reservations are required; tickets available online at higgins.org Advance Tickets: $45 NM, $40 M, $8 designated driver.

A dining EVOlution Marc Cochon

For over 40 years, The Living Earth has been a Worcester source for organic produce, whole grains, pasture-raised meats, and other natural foods. About four years ago, a renovation transformed The Living Earth’s casual café into EVO, a stylish dining spot that reflects its granola-based roots while offering diners a contemporary, upscale menu. EVO’s motto is “American dining evolved,” and part of that evolution involves vegan, vegetarian, and glutenfree diets. However, EVO also offers craft cocktails, a thoughtful selection of beers and wine, and plenty to please the carnivore. The theme at EVO is choices – lots of them.

The spacious restaurant is brightly lit, with well-chosen art and a modern, sleek feel that still accommodates casual dining. In addition to tables and booths, there’s the option to eat at the bar, which features a lava lamp-like backdrop and comfortable chairs. The menu spans a wide range; service is friendly, attentive and accommodating. The bar offers a good selection of draft and bottled beers, including Peak Organic IPA, whose crisp and bitter finish is a great foil to spicy foods. The wine list is not long, but provides interesting choices, none of which are more than $30, and all of which are available by the glass. Crispy Pesto Arancini ($9) achieves a wonderful crust that yields to reveal creamy risotto inside. While we wouldn’t mind a bit more pesto and mozzarella, the textures work well, and the flavors are complemented nicely by a light but flavorful marinara sauce. EVO’s Pig Wings ($12) are a winner. Sections of pork shanks on the bone have been slow-cooked and then flash-fried to achieve a tender and crispy result. From a dozen dipping sauces, we choose sriracha aioli and citrus ponzu, both of which work

well with the delectable bites of pork. Stone Baked Avocado Tuscany salad ($10) sounds too interesting to ignore, and it’s beautifully presented, with a large avocado half composed atop wilted baby spinach, oven-roasted tomatoes, and red onion. The flavors, though, miss the mark, as the avocado’s texture and flavor have not survived the oven, and the raw onion overwhelms the other ingredients. The tomatoes are wonderful, though, as is the addictive balsamic glaze that decorates the plate. EVO’s Phat Albert burger ($12) is made of Adams Farm beef, stuffed with cheese, and baked in a stone oven that claims a temperature of 1600 degrees. This is an outstanding burger, one of Worcester’s very best. Choose from three different rolls, over a dozen complimentary toppings, seven cheeses, and premium toppings to create your own delight. The oven achieves a wonderful crust on the meat while leaving the interior moist and juicy. From among seven different side dishes, we choose sugar snap peas—a crisp, sweet and healthful alternative to fries that keep one feeling

virtuous as the meat juices roll down the chin. That same stone oven turns out pizzas with four choices for crust, including a gluten-free version, four sauces, and endless topping combinations. Tuscan Sunset Pizza ($19) sports a nice pesto sauce and more of those great roasted tomatoes, along with plenty of chicken, two cheeses, and balsamic glaze. It’s a bit small for the price, but the crisp crust stands up to the generous toppings to produce a satisfying, high-quality pie. Virtuous diners deserve a sweet ending such as a chocolate brownie sundae ($6). This version is classic and generous, with a dense brownie, good quality vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce and a small mountain of brandy-laced Chantilly cream. Yum. EVO embodies the dichotomies in contemporary American dining – upscale yet casual, healthy yet decadent, picky yet omnivorous. Have it your way.

Unwrapping Worcester’s Cupcakes

STEVEN KING

Crown Bakery

133 Gold Star Blvd, Worcester, 508-852-0746

TASTE ★★★★ When I took my niece to the Crown ATMOSPHERE ★★ 1/2 Bakery on Gold Star Boulevard, there were several different cupcakes to choose SERVICE ★★★★ VALUE ★★★★ from (along with a wide selection of other detectible treats). Two were very simple, but well done: a chocolate cake with white buttercream frosting, decorated with fondant fall leaves, and a golden cupcake with the same frosting. The golden cupcake had a definite citrus accent that ran through both the frosting and the cake, while the chocolate cupcake had just enough flavor to hit the craving. The other options were square, filled cupcakes. The two additional that we selected were peanut butter cup and Oreo. Peanut butter cup was a chocolate cake filled with peanut butter buttercream frosting and topped with chocolate and peanut butter frosting and a peanut butter cup. It was gobbled with hardly a breath, so it clearly was excellent—although it had a very chewy texture for a cupcake. I had the Oreo, which was a golden cake with cookiecrumble white buttercream frosting inside and atop along with a chocolatedipped cookie. The texture was toothier than other cupcakes I’ve had, but I liked it and felt it held up well to the filling. The cupcake sizes were typical, as opposed to oversized, and priced accordingly. So for those who just want that single-serving goodness, definitely check out what The Crown Bakery has to offer.

Best Overall Restaurant &

p until now I’ve mentioned the marvelous wines of California, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. So this time around I’ve decided to focus on a region that doesn’t always come to mind when one thinks of great wine. That region is none other than New York State. New York is the second largest wine producing state in North America. So you know they are serious about winemaking. Those wines include Riesling, Seyval Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, sparkling wines and Cabernet Sauvignon. The state has four major wine-growing regions, including Lake Erie on the western end of the state, the Finger Lakes in the west-central area, the Hudson River Region in eastern New York, and the eastern end of the Long Island. Riesling has consistently been the shining star in New York. Recently though, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc, a personal favorite of mine, have begun to garner critical acclaim. The wines can differ stylistically from region to region but delicious nonetheless. New York State is also known for great farm-made cheeses that pair well with many of the wines. A few years back I sampled a wonderful Chenin Blanc from Paumanok winery. This 103-acre estate in Aquebogue, N.Y., is owned and operated by Ursula and Charles Massoud. The wine was clean, crisp and lip smacking with grapefruit, melon and subtle notes of apple—a true testament to the region. Most of these wines pair well with white meats and fish or, as I mentioned earlier, with many of the region’s fine cheeses. The wines generally run from OF THE WEEK $12 to $50 with something for everybody. Dr. Konstantin Frank Perhaps singer-songwriter Billy Joel was inspired when he sang about being in a New York State of Semidry Riesling mind. I bet he was thinking about all those terrific 2011 about $16. wines.

e recently needed to place a Help Wanted ad for an opening in our company. I was familiar with The Champion and knew a lot of people read this paper every week. I contacted them, and asked how to place the ad and what the cost would be. Not only was their staff fully knowledgeable, but they were helpful and efficient. I got a good price for three ads (one each week) and got help writing the ad so it would say just what I wanted, and fit my budget. The first week I checked the ad and it was perfect. It was there as promised, no spelling errors, and clearly visible under the correct heading. I got responses that told me they saw our ad in the Leominster Champion newspaper. The job has been filled, and I know The Champion helped in our search. I would highly recommend using their Classified ads to get results.

Paula Poundstone

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Two minutes with...

“I’m amazed that a lot of these guys are still alive,” Paula Poundstone said of her contemporaries, laughing, as we dove into a conversation about stand-up comedy and her 30-plus year relationship with the art form. “In the ’70s, most shows, you’d have to drink your way there. It really was a raucous time. I think we’ve all matured a bit since then – or at least I hope – but God, were we wild.” You might know Poundstone from her 1990 one-hour HBO special “Cats, Cops and Stuff,” regular appearances on nearly all the late-night shows or as a panelist on National Public Radio’s “Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!” She’ll be back in Massachusetts on September 21, doing two shows at The Bull Run Restaurant in Shirley, and she was nice enough to talk with me about her start in comedy and where she stands now. I ever did. So then, I decided to take a Greyhound bus around the country and try out other cities, eventually winding up in San Francisco. The truth is, when I stepped on stage there the very first night, it wasn’t so much that I felt like I belonged with the other comics necessarily, but that I belonged there.

When I told people I was interviewing you, their gut reaction was mentioning how much they love you on NPR. Do you find more people know you from there than from stand-up? Yeah, but I

feel great about it. I’m just reaching that much bigger an audience. Not to mention, it’s a really well done show. It plays into my strengths, as luck would have it. I feel like a batter in a batting cage. All I’m doing on that show is working on something I’ve been doing for over 30 years – think of funny stuff and say it.

How long into your career was it before you really felt like yourself on stage? I was in San Francisco. It wasn’t instantaneous, although there was this personality of this one club there [The Other Café] that happened to match mine very well. The audience was largely sort of the same age, and we were all broke, so for them, it was a great night of entertainment. I hosted the open mic night there and, in between acts, you weren’t doing material necessarily. You exhausted most of what you had written in about 10 minutes, so the rest of the night was just being in the moment and thinking on your feet.

You’re well known for being part of some historical groups of stand-ups in Boston and later in San Francisco in the late ’70s/early ’80s: Steven Wright, Lenny Clarke, Dana Carvey, Robin Williams. Is there a moment you remember really feeling like you belonged? I started in

Boston and was there for about a year with a bunch of great guys, but I don’t know if I ever really fit in. I’m not sure

You do a lot of audience interaction when you perform. Do you feel like that keeps the act fresh? I used to feel like it was a liability. I used to think it was a bad thing that I did, and I did it from the very beginning because I would get on stage, panic and forget my goofy, stupid five minutes. So, I’d be forced to talk to the crowd. But later on, I found out that that’s where the magic of the night lies. I have material, which I’ll do, but talking to the crowd is usually a fun part of the show.

Comedy is incredibly subjective. You were on a list of both the best and the worst comedians of all time. Why do you think people feel the need to rank this particular art form? To sell magazines, of course – but, you’re absolutely right. It is totally subjective. I’m actually amused by the fact that I made both lists. I bet I’m the only crossover.

When was the hardest you’ve ever laughed? Lots. It’s so much fun to laugh. When I was at clubs, I wouldn’t go into show rooms all that often. I would sit in the dining room of the house, and we’d table up and talk to people, telling table-poundingly funny stories. It was a really great way to pass time.

Being from the area and getting your start here – how does it feel coming back to Massachusetts to perform? I look forward to it. I told you how much I felt like I fit in with the crowds in San Francisco back when I was younger. Well now, I live in Santa Monica, and I haven’t fit in here since the day I arrived. So, it’s nice to go to New England, see friends and be back in the place I still consider my home. —Ryan Staples
