ive music is the backbone of any city’s entertainment scene. Whether you’re a hard working musician or band trying to make it big, or a venue owner trying to make a living – the performers and those who flock to see them are what controls the flow of any city’s nightlife. Will today’s rough economy, where disposable income is hard to come by and a night out can stretch anyone’s budget young or old, crush the live music on our city’s stages? Or will our need for music always bring the crowds no matter how much change is in their pockets? For this month’s cover, freelance reporter Lauren McShane hit the clubs in search of the answers, talking to both the entertainers and those who supply the stages they jam upon, trying to get a pulse of Worcester’s live music scene.

“With the camera program we had with DPW [Department of Public Works], we were able to nip a lot of the illegal dumping in the bud.

{ citydesk } Banking on the ballot questions Big donations bankroll this year’s referendums Jeremy Shulkin

C

andidates running for office this November have help getting their names and platforms out to the public. High profile news organizations sponsor debates, articles are written about campaigns, political parties line up behind their favorites and plaster their faces on literature. Ballot questions face more of a challenge for recognition. Not usually affixed to a specific party (although this year, Democrats could make the case that two questions will bring out the Republican vote) and barred from the state’s Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF) from aligning with specific candidates, referendum campaigns have to spend a good chunk of their money on signature gathering rather than advertising. Generally limited to editorials and opinion pages in daily newspapers, ballot questions receive far less press than a person running for office. It’s no surprise that individual donations to this year’s questions 1, 2 and 3 are far outpaced by monetary and in-kind donations from corporations, unions and out-of-state individuals. These parties are excited about bankrolling an agenda near and dear to them—as compared to individuals whose daily lives may not be affected by these particular ballot questions. As of September 15, 2010, political groups registered with the OCPF that are tied to each of the three ballot questions have raised $8,318,953. When compared with the $10,669,000 raised by all four gubernatorial candidates (since January 2009), it shows that fundraisers and donors are taking the referendums just as seriously as they are political offices.

Question 1: Alcohol Distributors vs. Health-Care Nonprofits

P

roponents of Question 1 seek to repeal the state’s recent decision to boost revenue by adding the 6.25% sales tax to alcohol purchases. That added revenue, estimated at $100 million per year, goes directly and solely towards alcohol prevention and treatment programs. To date, those seeking the repeal have contributed

$753,000, while those opposed have given $110,000. The tax isn’t imposed on stores buying alcohol from distributors, or distributors buying from beverage companies, just on consumers purchasing from stores. But those in favor of the repeal frame this as a matter of small businesses fighting unfair taxation. The argument is that consumers are buying their bulk booze purchases across the border in New Hampshire, where alcohol isn’t taxed, and sales from Rhode Island residents coming to Massachusetts have stopped as well. “Consumers are buying less and buying cheaper,” says Foster. “The package store owners are telling their community that this is really hurting their business.” Robert Kirsch, owner of Kirsch Liquors on Main Street in Worcester, is the only area business owner who has donated to the Campaign to Repeal ($250). “Obviously, people have a limited amount of money to spend,” he says. “It’s had some effect on my business, but I’d hate to be on the border.” Kirsch, who adds that his “heart bleeds” for those store owners, says alcohol is already heavily taxed by federal, state and local governments. “No individual can own more than three (liquor) licenses in Massachusetts,” says T.J. Foster, a spokeswoman for the Campaign to Repeal. “All package-store owners are feeling the effect.” But it’s not only a small-business issue. In fact, most of the money donated to the Campaign to Repeal has come from huge businesses unshy about throwing their money around. Martignetti Companies, a large New England distributor, has spent over $154,000 to repeal the sales tax in the last year. Other distributors, such as Horizon Beverage Company has spent nearly $106,000, and Beer Distributors of Massachusetts has given over $65,000. Even Anheuser-Busch has donated $17,600. But those on the side against repealing the alcohol tax cater to a specific crowd: alcoholics in need of treatment, and health-care centers who provide it. Since January 1, 2010, those arguing to keep the sales tax on booze have raised $110,000, with all of it coming

from human-service nonprofits, health foundations and treatment centers. Locally, centers like Community Health Link ($5,000), the Henry Lee Willis Community Center ($500), Spectrum Health Services, Inc. ($5,000) and the Health Foundation of Central

Massachusetts ($10,000) have all contributed. Health and treatment centers have a huge stake in this ballot question, because the not-yet-year-old sales tax on alcohol raises revenue – an estimated $100 million – specifically marked for continued on page 6

alcohol-abuse prevention and treatment. “I think the exciting thing about this is you’re collecting the tax from whence the problem comes,� says Jan Yost, president and CEO of the Health Foundation of Central Massachusetts. “It makes sense for it to come from the sale of the product.� Treatment centers argue that removing the sales tax on alcohol would strike a blow for recovery and preventative programs. Sure, the state would go back to finding funding for these programs as it has done before, but $100 million in secured funding is hard to lose. Yost mentions that raised revenue goes toward places like Spectrum’s Peer Recovery Support Center on Pleasant Street. “Having those places are really important,� she says. But the lack of individual donors on both sides of the ballot question shows that either people don’t know there will be a vote on keeping the tax, or don’t care too much about it. “Most people don’t know they’re paying a tax,� suggests Yost. “November is so far away for most people that they haven’t formed an opinion about this.� Additionally, she points to statistics that show alcohol sales have only dropped 1 percent in the state since taxation was added to booze, as proof that people are continuing to buy at the same rate they have in previous years.

Question 2: Repealing Chapter 40B of the Massachusetts General Laws

B

ack in January affordable housing was a hot topic, as it came out that nearly 14 percent

of housing units in the city (one apartment, one house, one condo all equal one unit) were designated for affordable housing – well above the state’s mandated 10 percent threshold. Affordable housing is different than the federal government’s public-housing projects and section 8 because affordable housing units are designated by private developers, usually in conjunction with state and city officials. An affordable unit is one where a family of four living there makes 80 percent or less than that municipalities’ median income. For Worcester, where the median income is $79,700, qualifying for a unit tagged as “affordable� means that family would earn no more than $63,760. For an individual, the numbers drop to $44,650 and $35,720, respectively. 40B, originally called the “anti-snob law� when it was enacted by the state legislature in 1969, allows developers to circumvent local zoning laws when planning boards try to keep out affordable housing. In Worcester, where we have enough 40B units, the law doesn’t affect us directly, but as all of the city’s surrounding towns are well below that 10 percent line, it encourages the suburbs to pick up some of the slack. The 40B question has generated donations from a number of different groups, and created strange bedfellows between developers, politicians and grassroots organizers. The group leading the charge to repeal the law has had its own finance issues. Unable to muster much support, the Repeal 40B Ballot Question Committee has only raised $25,000 since organizing at the end of 2006, mostly through small, individual donations. However, opponents of the

repeal have pointed to some shady ties the effort has with a group formerly known as the Slow Growth Initiative (since renamed the Bigger Not Better Alliance), a nonprofit located in Chelmsford, affiliated with the New England Coalition for Sustainable Population, Inc. (NECSP), who critics describe as a group that advocates for “population control.� (The NECSP Web site tactfully phrases it as “population stabilization.�) At the end of 2009, former SGI director Craig Chemaly donated nearly $284,000 to the group’s efforts in the form of paying for signature gathering. Another head of SGI, Roland Van Liew, a Chelmsford multimillionaire, has also contributed to the campaign. Those against the repeal have raised nearly $566,000 since October 2009 in an effort to keep the law on the books, relying on contributions from developers, construction firms, community-development corporations and individual donations. “We’re really proud of the fact that we’re able to get such wide support,� says Francy Ronyane, a spokeswoman for the campaign to keep 40B on the books. She points out that despite the corporations and developers siding with their campaign, 70 percent of their

donations have been for $200 or less. John Belskis, chairman of the Coalition to Repeal 40B, says the donations tell a different story, saying the limited individual donations for his campaign are “truly grassroots,� and come from people who’ve had “40Bs dumped on their town.�

Question 3: The Sales-Tax Rollback

I

n 2008 Libertarian organizer Carla Howell got a question on the ballot that would eliminate the state’s income tax. Opponents called it a “reckless� idea, noting that it would decimate the state’s budget; 70 percent of the electorate agreed. Taxation opponents’ voices have amplified since, and Howell returned with a 2010 ballot initiative that would rollback the state’s 6.25 percent sales tax to 3 percent. Opponents of this year’s question 3 have adopted the same “reckless idea� mantra as they did in 2008, and government officials warn that cutting sales revenue by more than half would reduce the state’s local aid given every year to municipalities, which in turn would mean drastic budget cuts to services, schools and public safety. Worcester Mayor Joseph O’Brien hasn’t hid his opposition to voting yes on question 3. “Think about the difficult budget times we’ve been through,� he says, adding that while Worcester has done a “pretty good job� maintaining services, municipalities have been aided by federal stimulus money, which will run out after this year. The loss of American Reinvestment and Recovery funding, compounded with local-aid cuts due to lost sales-tax revenue, would “simply be devastating.� Since August 2009, the Alliance to Roll Back Taxes has raised $235,953, most of it from individual donors.

{ citydesk } But the donor list for the campaign to rollback the sales tax looks like a microcosm of the anti-tax and Tea Party sentiment. One donor, under the heading “occupation” wrote “freedom fighter,” and under “employer,” wrote “God.” Kamal Jain, who ran an unsuccessful bid for state auditor this year and donated more than $1,100 to question 3’s campaign, filled his information out with the phrases “hardworking taxpayer/not the government.” They’ve also been heavily bankrolled by out of state donors, who have contributed $82,000 to the campaign – more than 1/3 of their money raised. Frank Atwood, a Colorado resident, has donated nearly $8,000 since 2008 to ballot referendums to decrease Massachusetts’ taxes. He says even though the state’s sales tax won’t affect his daily life, he gives “out of principle,” and that he met Howell in Massachusetts. “I’ve been impressed by what she does,” he says, adding, “I try to encourage it.” When asked why she thinks her campaign receives so much from out of state, Howell responds (via e-mail) “We get our donations from individual contributors who make modest donations. In contrast, the group opposing this tax rollback for Massachusetts workers and taxpayers gets almost no funding from individuals and relies instead on large, well-funded government employee unions.” She does have a point about the public-sector unions, who know that less local aid means fewer jobs for teachers, police officers and other government workers. Since January 1, 2008, Coalition for our Communities has raised about $6,728,000 to fight the tax callback, with massive donations coming from Washington, D.C.based National Education Association ($1,625,000), the American Federation of Teachers Solidarity Fund ($250,000), the Boston Teachers Union ($125,000), Massachusetts Teachers Association ($3,500,000) and the Service Employees International Union ($526,000). “‘Disgruntled’ is the word I use,” says Atwood. The fact that so much money opposing the tax rollback is coming from unions only makes his peers even more so.

enables me to be on the spot with the things that are happening, as opposed to finding out about something a week or two weeks later. I can immediately address something if I see it,” she adds. “Twitter and Facebook make a politician more transparent,” admits Foisy. “Over the past year, Kate [Toomey] has had a couple tweets that have made me shake my head. They have not all been political in nature either. But it certainly humanizes them [politicians] more, and I know personally I would be more likely to vote for any candidate who seems to be going that extra mile to be accessible and quickly act on a problem.”

Everyone knows there are still some lingering questions about the mercury contamination at Grafton Street Elementary School – mostly regarding where the response was between Tuesday afternoon when a teacher interacted with the substance and Wednesday morning when officials were called to the school, and where the student got the mercury in the first place. Yet some city officials are wary of how those facts will be presented to the public. There’s some hope that the answers could come in an upcoming “Friday letter” sent from the administration to the school committee (and reporters), or then made public by a committee member speaking on it at a following meeting. The school administration did not return phone calls from a reporter seeking more information.

Jeremy Shulkin

THE SOLUTION: Three committee members have picked up on this, putting an item on the school committee agenda to “Request that the Administration provide a report on the timeline in reference to the mercury safety crisis at Grafton Street School.” The motion is sponsored by Dianna Biancheria, Brian O’Connell and John Monfredo. ENDORSEMENTS THAT RING LIKE A SCHOOL BELL: District 13

state representative candidate Paul Franco picked up an endorsement last week from school committee member Mary Mullaney. Mullaney, who “has known (Franco) for many years,” said that having six children in/as products of the Worcester Public School system means he’ll fight for higher academic standards. In a message left on a reporter’s voicemail, she added that “this is not a reflection on other candidates.” Franco’s challenger, John Mahoney, has four children in the WPS system.

ENDORSEMENTS THAT RING, PART II: Speaking of endorsements, word is that each of Mahoney’s five challengers for the Democratic nomination have endorsed him in the race, with official confirmation coming from Joff Smith, Gina DiBaro and Margot Barnet … More fodder from the rumor mill says that while the five seem to be falling in line behind their nominee, they’re not quite getting along with each other. There’s an account that two of Mahoney’s former challengers met up for a post-election conversation at a district 13 cafe that which sour pretty quickly, with the accusation that one of them “is all that’s wrong with America.” GETTING DIRTY: State Senator Harriette Chandler hasn’t had to deal with a Republican challenger since 2006, but this year William Higgins is giving her enough of a headache to make up for it. Higgins has been bombarding local and Boston media with emails written with a lot of exclamation points and sentences in all UPPERCASE. His radio ads on WTAG and WSRS, though, have Chandler crying foul. In a statement, she wrote these spots are “filled with wild and reckless accusations aimed at me. Mr. Higgins knows what he is saying is blatantly untrue. Ordinarily, I would not dignify such irrational and obviously false attacks with a response, but I cannot be silent while an opponent chooses character assassination as his only campaign strategy.” On the phone with this reporter, she added that they “boarder on slander.”…Chandler’s biggest problem with the ads is the claim that she’s voted in favor of pay raises for legislators. Chandler says she’s actually turned down recent pay hikes, and the last vote in favor of awarding increases to legislator’s salaries was in 1998, before she arrived.

MASS CAN: Voters in Worcester’s Ward 1 precincts 1, 2, 3 and 4, all of Ward 9 and Ward 10 precinct 3 will get a ballot with an extra referendum question regarding their opinions on allowing patients – with permission from their doctor – to use and grow marijuana for medical use. The information was given to Worcester Mag right before press time so details are slim, but word is that the organizers, affiliated with the Massachusetts Cannibis Reform Coalition (MassCan), put the non-binding question on the ballot as a way to poll popular opinion in some of the state’s more conservative areas.

Posted by “Jeff Barnard” on WORMTOWNTAXI.COM: When I was a young sci-fi enthusiast in the late 50’s and early 60’s, there was a story entitled “Flowers For Algernon” that I will hardly ever forget. It’s the story of a man with a very low IQ who, through a scientific experiment, is given the gift of increasing intelligence. He eventually reaches genius level. But the effect isn’t permanent, and the main character, now brilliant beyond measure, knows that he will slip back down into his former lack of intellect... That part of the story is a nightmarish scenario, and one which was written so well that the impression of this man’s gradual loss was indelible upon my memory.

Can Worcester’s live music scene survive?

WORCESTERMAG.COM

• OCTOBER 7, 2010

Lauren McShane

A writer and a musician walk into a bar…

Before the doors of Lucky Dog officially open on Thursday night, Worcester singer songwriter Sam James pours me a Wormtown Seven Hills (coincidental plug) and explains what’s so great about Worcester and its musicians. It feels a lot like accidentally sitting at the popular table in 5th grade — they all know each other and won’t stop telling me about the cool Saturday night they had while I was at home making developmentally inappropriate Shrinky Dinks. I am nearly tone-deaf and can’t keepin tune with Raffi; and also sang “Hey Chelsea” instead of “Hey Jealousy” for about a decade, so it’s no wonder that as patrons trickle into the bar and sound guys lug equipment onstage, I feel out of place. So I give in to defense mechanisms honed in 5th grade and snap “Why do people even still want to be rock stars?” “It’s about just being able to play, whether it’s in front of no one, or a ton of people,” James says with a John Mayerlike glisten. Now we’re getting somewhere, no-one? That’s another equally awkward memory: swaying along uncomfortably in nearempty houses. James explains, “you’re putting yourself out there […] There’s that minute where you can tell that what you’ve done has inspired somebody else. It’s an awesome feeling.” Well that’s sweet; a lot like the KoolAid I’m being offered. But I’m willing to bet club owners aren’t drinking it. They don’t just put themselves out there and feel rewarded by the experiences. To prevent future awkward swaying, James believes clubs and bands must work together to get people in the door. But it’s not that easy; club debts, cover charges and talk of a change in the entire music industry all play a part. But worst of all may be the stigma of stagnation in Worcester’s music scene; the impression that it is what it is, and what it is, is what it will always be.

THE SUPER FRIENDS

C

lubs, bands, even publications, need to work harder for the city says James. “Worcester could be an amazing music scene… [Right now] it’s a good music scene and in order to grow,

{ coverstory } as a city you need to acknowledge people who are doing things,” he says. The people who are doing things are too many to count, but one name stands out: Duncan Arsenault. If you’ve ever spared the pages of WoMag from the bottom of your birdcage, it’s likely you know him as the man, the myth, the legend. The creator of worcesterite.com, member of The Curtain Society, drummer for The Sam James Band, and coordinator of The Dive Bar’s Thursday-night music series, to name a few of the hats he wears. Perhaps it says enough that nearly every

The Lucky Dog, Ralph’s, Tammany Hall, Nick’s, Vincent’s, Beatnik’s, The Palladium – the list goes on. The big hitters of Worcester’s live-music scene are a motley crew, a lot like the Super Friends. Talk with one and somewhere in that conversation, that person will sing the praises of another; within minutes you’ll be told where to be every night of the week to hear the best of Worcester’s musicians.

individual interviewed here has spoken his name with religious devotion. “Duncan is the man. There’s not a lot of people like him,” James begins. The gospel according to Duncan is powerful; it’s a message that speaks of the importance of high-quality, accessible live music. According to James, it’s a message that inspires, that wants people to care. Luckily, Arsenault isn’t alone in his efforts to create a thriving music scene. The more players, the more likely it is that I will recover some semblance of skepticism.

ut, like the Super Friends, each have different powers, different strengths. “Worcester is huge, there are plenty of mouths to be fed,” says Tony Scavone, the recently appointed bookings manager at Tammany Hall. Scavone, a patron of Tammany for many years, speaks adamantly about the importance of different, stylized clubs. The more specialized a club’s bookings are, the better, he believes. For example, Tammany is “the jam-band club,” Scavone says; patrons expect to hear funk and reggae. For American Songbook and jazz, go to Nick’s; for blues go to Gilrein’s. You get the idea. But how often does the separate-butequal rule actually work out? According to Scavone, it’s working damn well. “The whole idea is very formulaic,” he says. Put a line-up together that features different bands with similar styles. If you come to hear one of those bands, chances are you’ll stay and enjoy the others as well; like a more accurate version of popular internet radio site

Pandora. “That’s how you crosspollinate the fan base,” Scavone says and eventually, build longterm scenesters. Uncle Billy’s Smokehouse, the Worcester-centric classic rock band understands this possibility, maybe better than most. It’s because of specialization that “these clubs will stay alive,” says

Above: Bill Gaudette, booking manager at Ralph’s. Left: Tony Scavone, booking manager of Tammany Hall. band member and founder Jody Ryan. By offering different scenes at each club, owners and managers can encourage and support each other, without the threat of losing patrons, he says.

“Worcester offers a very diverse crowd; there are different places for different bands to go,” and each plays host to different audience expectations, Ryan says. After 12 years as Lucky Dog’s owner, Erick Godin believes in the peaceful cohabitation of live-music venues in Worcester. “It’s hard to think that it hurts us, I think it helps everybody. Everybody needs who they have.” Godin refuses to pigeonhole The Lucky Dog. “I’ve always had to be more on the metal side, but that’s not even really true anymore,” says Godin. Under his ownership, The Lucky Dog has seen acts ranging from its 80s-style house band, Flock of Assholes (of which Godin is a member), to rockabilly, femme shows, and circus acts. Another powerful outlier in Worcester’s live music scene is Beatnik’s. Since it’s opening just over a year ago, Beatnik’s has established itself as a venue committed to providing quality food, drink, music, art, and above all, character. Like its rebellious namesake, Beatnik’s the club, also refuses to be defined. “We have a very wide range of [musical] genres,” says owner Niki Brouillette; “We want people from 21 to 91 to be able to come in.”

By offering different styles of music every night, Brouillette says the club gets a great mix of ages and people. But above all, the smorgasbord of music “opens up peoples’ views of music,” she says. Typically people will come in to hear one band and enjoy the atmosphere so much that they’ll return another night, and end up listening to a different style; that’s how the scene builds, Brouillette explains. While not all clubs call themselves specialized, not all specialized clubs are satisfied being just that. Mohan Prashad, owner of Gilrein’s says there are definite limitations to providing for a niche crowd. “We get a very mature clientele, people that love blues and really enjoy music,” Prashad says. “But [those] people don’t come out too often.” Those mature people—the ones who sneer when I tip in quarters and think my Truffle-Shuffle T-shirt was purchased in support of some exotic and organic mushroom butter—they sound like Gilrein’s people; and their purse strings are pulled tighter than…you get the idea. The economic stressors are real and great enough that Prashad is considering deterring from the strictly blues and jazz lineup Gilrein’s is known for. “The past couple years have been really challenging and now we’re looking to expand styles to

draw people in,” he says. While Gilrein’s will continue to be focused on blues and jazz, Prashad is considering soft rock, karaoke, and comedy nights in hopes of attracting a younger, more consistent crowd. A crowd that goes out regularly, spends money, and knows the Truffle Shuffle. Beatnik’s, despite its success, is also feeling the economic pressures Brouillette says. Her tactic is to begin hosting events on weeknights to draw people in. “The weekends are holding [Beatnik’s] together,” Brouillette says. So events like ‘Beatnik’s Indie Art Market,’ expected to be held on the first Tuesday of every month, will hopefully pick up the slack. But it’s nothing but good vibes throughout Beatnik’s. The club’s role in the live music scene, says Brouillette is “my way to try and take it to the next level” by offering a place for local musicians to share what they do best. And people are noticing; the care and creativity that goes into creating a music scene does not go unappreciated. “Everyday at Beatnik’s we are still seeing new faces.”

n the basement of the Lucky Dog, Godin speaks of the once upon a time when “people just went out, they didn’t care what the hell was going on. There were friends of the scene…that whole crew were just out and friends of all the music that was happening at the time,” he says. Now “friends of the scene” have been replaced by “friends of the band,” he says with a surprising air of nostalgia. Back in Worcester’s live-music scene of old, “You [didn’t] know what you were going to get when you walked in the door.” But now that serendipitous sense of possibility no longer exists, thanks to everyone’s favorite scapegoat—the Internet. Maybe in that basement, the Super Friends have already discussed this, most are in concurrence. The Internet may not quite hold rank in the Legion of Doom, but it’s a peripheral player. From what he’s seen at Tammany Hall, Scavone says, “The internet has really changed the way people listen to live music.” Now potential audiences can plan ahead of time, they continued on page 14

can check out who is playing and decide whether or not to come for the set, he explains. People don’t just drop in and hope to hear something they like. But it’s not all flashbacks and dreams of days gone by. At Ralph’s Rock Diner, booking manager Bill Gaudette enjoys the ease of the Internet. “Most bands now book and promote their shows online. I remember back in the day, standing outside of clubs two weeks before my band was scheduled to play promoting our show by handing out mini flyers to people. Things are different now. I like it better this way,� Gaudette says. While modes of promotion have undoubtedly changed, no one is ready to give up on the state of live music. Owners and managers continue to stress the importance of providing a unique, intimate experience; quality, they say, will not suffer. Manager Nicole Watson explains the unique approach that Nick’s takes to provide this experience: “We actually produce a good portion of the music at Nick’s. I collaborate regularly with many artists on the types of music, the arrangements, and the presentation.� It only takes a glance down Millbury Street on a Friday night to see how the work pays off. “I think that the audience

hile clubs bravely fight to maintain quality establishments, the age-old question arises: who are we fighting for? Most are quick to give thanks for their regulars “who have helped to keep us on our feet,” Watson

acknowledges; others credit walk-up patrons; Tammany credits 30-somethings whose attendance was interrupted “by real life,” but are now starting to return to the scene, Scavone says laughing. Bueller? Bueller? The surprisingly absent demographic is the college-aged students; all 30,000 of them. According to the Colleges of Worcester Consortium, there are that many floating around our fair city. Not only do they go unaccounted for at most live-music venues, it’s unclear whether some establishments even want them. While Gilrein’s hopes to expand from their “mature clientele,” owner Mohan Prashad says a huge benefit of attracting a certain crowd is that he has “never had to call the police, or cut anyone off […] there’s never been any trouble like that.” Translation: No one’s celebrating their 21st by throwing up the new Maker’s 46 in the Gilrein’s restroom. Just down Route 9 at JJ’s Sports Bar and Grill, owner Peter Sarro says the venue, once a hot-spot for suburban-cop quota-filler, has improved its standing within the community over the past year. “We’ve been doing a better job booking better bands,” Sarro says. The result is an older demographic, people who see JJ’s as a “destination” spot, rather than just another bar-crawl stop.

Let’s not sugar coat it: fewer kids, fewer problems. But the kids are here, so where are they going? Gilrein’s is out, JJ’s is out, Erick Godin says the Lucky Dog doesn’t get much of a college crowd. Through Uncle Billy’s Smokehouse, Jody Ryan sees bars “having a harder time getting a college crowd,” and on some level, venues “don’t want to take away from people who genuinely want live music,” Ryan says. This is another subject that impassions Sam James; but this time my instinct is to agree, and refrain from said llama-like tendencies. James finds this resistance by many clubs to promote toward college crowds ridiculous. “There’s so much music and there’s so many kids. I mean, during the school year, if you can’t pack a room, it’s really depressing,” he says. For a recent show, The Sam James Band posted fliers on both the Assumption and Holy Cross campuses. Additionally, cover charge was half price with a valid student I.D. James says the turnout was impressive and clear evidence of the potential clientele within the college community. Colleges should be a target when promoting live music, James says. By neglecting what would seem to be obvious dollar signs, Worcester’s live-music scene can’t grow. “I don’t think people really

understand the importance of actually having good music,� he says. And to make people understand, you have to get them in the door. “There has to be a ton of promotion on both parties’ ends,� James says. “I think that where Worcester has a problem is the bands themselves. There are so many awesome bands, but nobody promotes themselves,� they just expect people to show up, he says. At the Lucky Dog, Godin has seen this problem time and time again; a huge frustration he says, especially “when it is so easy to promote yourself [as a band] with Facebook and all that.� Both Godin and James agree that there is only so much either a band or venue can do, and both must be working their hardest to get the word out there. “It’s not rocket science, but it’s hard enough, and people have to work at it,� James says.

But that’s precisely what the city needs; any and all working full force to share an appreciation for live music in Worcester. And not just to sustain the happening right now, but to encourage growth and give the creative space the city deserves. Then again, dismount that high horse and maybe a better reason comes to light. Why preserve—nay, cultivate—live music in Worcester? Because, when done right “it’s a good party,� Sam James tells me. And that might be all we need.

Westboro Gallery brings abstraction in view J Fatima Martins

Spontaneous splashes of primary blue, squiggly red lines, messy waves of yellow, lavender and teal form a gestural cushion of bold color where geometric shapes intersect in Janine Schmitt’s abstractions. In her solo exhibition of new work, The Mind’s Geometry, currently on view at the Tatnuck Bookseller & Cafe until December 3, Schmitt continues her signature expressive manner in 12 large- and midsized paintings in mixed media.

undertone mirroring the artist’s personality and perspectives on life. Schmitt said that she approaches painting with “a child-like openness” in the hope of creating images that are unfiltered, but at the same time fundamentally grounded by underlying order. On the surfaces that are highly textured, some show thick-paint application creating a three-dimensional effect. In other works the artist has used tape to define hard-edged lines that are transparent and painted to contrast with the surrounding areas of color. “My paintings begin in a structured form using grids, and then I free myself and begin to break away by adding and subtracting elements and always looking for balance,” she explains. “One my influences is the work of Sol LeWitt.”

Her color choices, bold and bright combinations in a variety of tones and hues clearly speak of her interest in South American art and design, and the aesthetics of Brazilian culture and music. Schmitt’s painted gestures are full of rhythm and movement that evoke the lushness of the tropics, overlapping vegetation of the rainforest, and the movement of water and sky. “It’s true.” she confirms. “My paintings are very much influenced by my cultural background.” Visit Janine Schmitt’s Web site janineschmitt. amaranth.net. The Tatnuck Bookseller & Cafe is located at 18 Lyman St., Westboro; The Westboro Gallery is at 8 Main St., Westboro. Learn more at westborogallery.com Tricycle, Janine Schmitt

The artists reception is on Friday, October 8 at 5 p.m. The 58-year-old Schmitt, originally from Brazil, is a full-time artist and Westboro Gallery member who recently exhibited in the Danforth Museum’s Annual Juried Member Show in Framingham. The Westboro Gallery, which has a satellite exhibition space at the Tatnuck Bookseller & Café, is a not-for-profit cooperative that sells work by established and emerging central New England artists. Along with regional exhibitions, Schmitt shows her paintings internationally and is participating in the project Journey of Abstract Art in Brazil in the exhibition Rigor and Freedom at the Modern Art Museum of Rio de Janeiro. Schmitt’s fine-art training comes from the Art Students League in New York City and the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y., where she graduated in 1979. The Mind’s Geometry features paintings that visually communicate the functioning of the human mind. They show, through dynamic color combinations, a variety of marks along with squares, circles and lines, how we quickly take in a variety of information, every day, and then try to form it into something recognizable. Schmitt explains, “It’s a balance between the mind’s desire for structure and order, and the soul’s quest to push the limits.” In these paintings you will find a combination of classic free-form action painting and subtle geometric abstraction producing a cacophony of color dancing together layer upon layer. Each painting is different and explores control versus spontaneity in an attempt to define chaos through structure while creating illusions of spatial depth. Schmitt pointed out that she never liked mathematical structures, but has a passion for architecture and complex systems. “I’m fascinated by logic and the struggle in our lives between order and freedom,” she says. “Sometimes it’s a system that doesn’t work, and I explore that in my paintings.” The style is energetic and playful with a focused OCTOBER 7, 2010 • WORCESTERMAG.COM

Setting the tone for all of this chit-chat is the anticipation for the reopening of the Worcester Art Museum’s Modern and Contemporary Gallery in February 2011. In preparation, curator of contemporary art, Susan Stoops, is ready to launch another thought-provoking smaller exhibition from the realm of WAM’s permanent contemporary collection.

The Pistols straight to Nirvana, as if Hardcore book then gave birth in 2006 never happened. I couldn’t tell if that to a DIY project that took five was because they didn’t know of it or if years of research to create with it was just too ugly. When I started the book in 1995, there was little info on friend and filmmaker Paul the subject. So aside from my memories Rachman – a documentary and record and fanzine collections, all called American Hardcore: I had to go on was 100 or so sit-down The History of American Punk interviews plus the dusty old boxes of Rock 1980-1986.

Paul Rachman, as well as through all the information and networking I’ve done on the Internet, I’ve learned so much more, and have even reached a few new conclusions. So basically I felt I had one last chance to get the story right. To me, the key to the American Hardcore book’s success is that it’s anthropology and American studies disguised as a rock book.

What sort of update/changes went into the second edition 2010? I basically rewrote the book, and totally overdid it—more than 100 pages of new insight, biographical information, a new chapter and expanded discography. It’s still very early in the process, but I have been told by a few readers that it reads like an entirely new book—something I’m very proud of. Now the history of hardcore is set in stone forever.

How was the research for the book different for the research for the film with director Paul Rachman? The book relied on much of my initial personal research, and we applied that basic outline/format to the film. But I learned so much more from our 75-plus film interviews, and all the consequential archival material we unearthed from the interviewees and others. The combination of working with a production partner and all Paul’s contacts and ideas, opened me up to new mental frontiers.

Is it true it took five years to pull this film together? What a wild ride—what was the best part? Similar to writing the book—or to the scene itself—there was no money to speak of, so Paul and I had to make the film in a total hardcore-style DIY process. We’d save enough money from our jobs to travel for shoots, and had to work around our schedules when it came to editing—which usually got done on my kitchen table and couch, often with a six-pack in the fridge! Our first shoot was in Boston in December 2001, when Paul joined me on some New England book dates. In September 2005 we sent a rough-cut to Sundance, and amazingly got accepted. Three months later we went to Park City, Utah, and got courted by Sony Pictures Classics. By fall, the film was playing in theaters around the world—a wild ride indeed!

What was it like to see your book inspire a film? Incredibly satisfying to say the least—from the methodical filmmaking process and all my obsessive hands-on editorial oversight, to the eventual rush of walking the red carpet at Sundance and for the film’s theatrical release in New York and LA. I never thought I’d be involved in film—I barely watch any movies—but here I am! Now Paul and I have embarked on a new film project about great musicians of all genres who continued on page 20

fell through the cracks of history called Lost Rockers — lostrockers.com

During your research for the book, what was the one biggest reflection that the scene’s movers and players had when looking back at this time in American history? If there was a universal, it

was they all realize they were part of something important that can never happen again. To me, these guys were pioneers and visionaries way too far ahead of their time, just now getting their just due—and most of them now get that. Many of them are severely damaged from what they went through, and the psychological release of the interview process revealed a common sense of justification and validation of their unorthodox life paths.

In your mind, what was American Hardcore’s biggest contribution to American music and culture? Hardcore

literally changes the face of rock music. Indie, alt, emo, grunge, speed metal, et al –Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Sonic Youth, Metallica, Foo Fighters, etc. –all claim hardcore roots. Skate punks, Riot Grrls, computer hackers, UFC fighters and WWE wrestlers all espouse the subversion of hardcore. If you look at what was big 30 years ago, it was the corporate rock of Journey and Styx, and now you look at the DIY bands of today, it’s literally night and day.

How did you first fall into the role of a promoter in D.C. in the 80s? I had zero

interest or affinity in becoming a concert promoter. As an 18 year old in 1981, I attended a TSOL gig in New Jersey, where I spoke with their manager, who also worked with Dead Kennedys. I’d just started college at George Washington University and worked at the radio station, and he convinced me to produce a show at my school sponsored through the station, and he’d guide me through the

20

process. A few months later I put on Dead Kennedys in the GWU cafeteria just three blocks from the White House! Needless to say it was a major incident, and I went on to book crazy all-ages shows with all of the major bands of the era—Black Flag, Minor Threat, Circle Jerks, etc.—over two dozen in all. Half these bands crashed on my couch! After college, I quit it all and moved to New York.

today look more like a hardcore group, less Robert Plant and more Henry Rollins— shaved heads, mosh pits, speed metal, aggressive tones, lack of guitar solos, the modern primitivism and tattooing, and gnarly skateboarding. It was the confluence of so many things, and that’s what made it all so exciting. It was so much more than another

How did you take your promotion career and morph into a publishing/writing career? Admittedly, it’s an unconventional path. I actually got a “D” in English as a junior in high school, so I figured I had no talent in that regard. Soon after I moved to New York, I befriended the publisher of Paper magazine, who had me conduct one of the very first interviews with the NYHC band Cro-Mags. That experience, fused with my naiveté and hardcore promoter zeal, made me think I could publish an important rock mag. Seconds magazine would last 15 years and 52 issues before its eventual flameout.

In your opinion, where is the most visible evidence of the legacy of American Hardcore in today’s music? The bands of

Before the book and the film, there was no hardcore bible to refer to, so there was little objective conversation about it. Sure there are still hardcore bands, some of them are quite proficient; many I like. But as I said before, the influence of hardcore is everywhere. The scene preached making your own opportunities and thinking outside of the box. That’s what bands of all genres today do - they employ that Hardcore Punk DIY mentality.

I’m told that this short, New England tour of libraries that you’re embarking upon is preparation for an extensive U.S. tour of libraries in 2011. Why libraries? You have to admit, hardcore and libraries normally don’t come up in the same sentence... Much of

You say that American Hardcore went extinct in 1986. What was the final death knell? By 1986, hardcore was no longer an insular hardcore subculture—the cat got out of the box, so to speak. That year all the big bands like Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, and Minor Threat broke up. Most people just quit and moved on. Husker Du signed to Warner Bros., a hugely divisive issue within the scene. Heavy metal interlopers playing a hardcore-style speed metal in Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth came in and changed the landscape; 1986 was also the onset of alternative rock—outside Seattle started a young band called Nirvana.

Do you think your book – and the subsequent film inspired by the book – has brought this genre of music back into the limelight at all? Without a doubt.

rock scene. Lo-tech hardcore record-label endeavors started by misfit teens 30 years ago, like Black Flag’s SST Records and Bad Religion’s Epitaph label, redefined how bands make music. Thanks to such entities, young bands don’t sit around and wait for major labels to sign them, they do it themselves.

the book’s initial success in 2001 was taking it to the heartland on an extensive six-week national tour of independent book and record stores. I knew Portland teen librarian Michael Whittaker from his former life as publicist at Black Flag’s SST Records, so when he suggested a DIY punk-style tour of public libraries, I was sold. Also, it was important to me as I come preaching an important message of DIY self-empowerment, and libraries in working-class towns like Worcester, Portsmouth and Portland are ideal forums to help mold young minds. Plus, everyone pays lip service to “doing it for the kids” — I guess you can say I’m putting my money where my mouth is!

Cherish

Cloudy with a chance of heartbreak “The heart wants what it wants” is a powerful affirmation of the awesome, if often illogical, grip of love on the helpless human soul (unfortunately, the most famous proponent is Woody Allen, who uttered it in defense of his affair with the teenaged Soon-Yi). Love, of course, defies description, which is why there will always be a need for poets and songwriters. Somebody’s got to keep trying. Cloud 9 features a classic the-heart-wants-what-itwants moment. One afternoon, a 67-year-old German seamstress named Inge personally delivers a pair of altered trousers to her 76-yearold customer, Karl. He tries them on in front of her; then he removes them in front of her. They lock eyes, they smile, they kiss, and soon they’re making love on the carpet with the vigorous abandon of two people a third their ages — and this is before the opening credits have rolled. Good for them. In the United States, they’d be recruited for a Viagra ad or slapped on the cover of the AARP magazine. Late love is great love. Except for one complication: Inge is married. Her husband Werner is a good man, an attentive stepfather/grandfather, intelligent, caring. He’s no live wire (a railroad enthusiast, Werner listens to recordings of trains in motion), but one could easily imagine that if Werner was single, he wouldn’t lack for female companionship at the senior center where Inge performs in a chorus. But forget that. Inge’s cloud nine is Werner’s dark cloud. Once she reveals her infidelity — defying her daughter’s advice to have her fun but keep her mouth shut — it ruins him, and leaves Inge with the dreadful choice of spending her remaining years in a serviceable if dull marriage to Werner or a true love match with Karl. She knows that regardless of the path she takes,

victims will be left behind. Cloud 9 is a quiet, moving drama that explores the painful pleasures of following one’s passion, and despite the story’s intimacy, its presentation is bold. The camera doesn’t shy from the imperfect unclothed bodies of the actors (a frankness you wouldn’t see in an American film), while the emotional storm reveals itself with even more

honesty than the physical. Inge and Karl’s bliss in discovering one another is tempered by the ramifications on her psyche — the guilt leaves Inge doubled over with grief. The performances here are so natural they seem bred from actual behaviors rather than pulled from a script. Ursula Werner, as Inge, is especially affecting. She can look haggard one moment, luminescent the next, reflecting her ping-ponging emotions. The two men in her life, each in his own way, are worth going to bat for, adding to her anguish.

A predictable life Life as We Know It

Grade: D-

David Wildman

There are probably lots of young parents (or people who will be young parents) who will find this movie a hoot. This is because it is geared toward making fun of all the challenging experiences they go through in raising children: the compromises with their jobs, losing touch with friends, changes in lifestyle, lack of sleep, changing diapers, baby poop, and more baby poop. And even more baby poop. And barf. Are you laughing? Good, then you might actually find this film funny. The unfortunate thing about Life as We Know It is that all of the above real life trials and tribulations of parenthood have been sandwiched into a really, really phony and unconvincing romantic comedy. I haven’t hated the protagonists of a romcom this much since No Reservations. Josh Duhamel as Eric Messer, the “lovable” rogue who is predictably tamed by an adorable child, is simply insufferable. He looks and acts every bit the product of a shallow soap opera career that he is. Katherine Heigl as the uptight semi-bitch with sweetness just a scratch below the surface is very easy on the eye, but pretty rough going everywhere else, especially the brain. Now on to the “plot.” This film is constructed like a typical Barry Manilow song, brazenly formulaic, predictable and sentimental to a fault with a really unnecessary, obvious and annoying extended key change at the end to drive the point home, as in like driving a spike through the forehead – here represented by an extended twenty minute race to the airport with a conclusion that if you find surprising you are probably just dense enough to be this film’s target audience. Here’s the basic blueprint: boy meets girl, they don’t hit it off because he’s a

“free spirit” (read as “prick”), enter baby forcing them to be responsible adults and all that, then comes love, but boy leaves in the third act and ultimately returns so they can all live in bliss because family is absolutely the only important thing in life, trumping good acting, tasteful jokes and creative screenwriting. This script slavishly follows every rule they teach you in screenwriting 101. The result is hackneyed, trite, manipulative, utterly unwatchable garbage, guaranteed to turn a buck or two. Of course there are lots of things that don’t make sense, like how they can raise a kid with both of them working, and why if they are in Atlanta do only a few people have anything resembling a southern accent? Plus the supporting cast, consisting of their friends, neighbors, and a child services worker is a collection of vapid cliché’s. But this is nitpicking, right? Because there’s cute children in it! And the adults eat pot brownies and watch the kid’s videos! How bad can it be? Oh so bad. The moppet Sophie (she’s actually played by three siblings named Clagett) that the two are left to raise after the kid’s parents buy it early on in a car accident, is there merely to push that instinctive button we all have that makes us suckers for innocent, helpless little infants, and also to manufacture lots of poop, vomit and stench for the lame slapstick that passes for humor. The cynical filmmakers are hoping you will be so taken in by the tyke and her mesmerizing affect on the surrogate parents that you will fail to notice how awful the rest of the production is. There is a scene that sums it all up, where Messer takes the kid to the supermarket and we see the sleazy way he uses said child to pick up girls. In its own way, that’s exactly what this film is doing to its intended audience. Don’t be fooled by the cute baby. This film stinks like a dirty diaper.

A taste of Peru Kendra Lapin

The Millbury Street block where you can find Inka’s was hit with a nasty black-out the night we intended to visit, which probably affected its normal supply because when we returned later, they were out of several menu items. Despite that, my friends and I ended our meals as happy patrons—which says a lot about the quality of both the food and service. On a Sunday afternoon, we were the only customers in the bright, maizecolored restaurant decorated with Peruvian knick-knacks and plates on the walls. Our server was patient and friendly as we went through almost the

whole menu, apologizing for what they didn’t have. We decided to try anticuchos (beef hearts), then ordered three different dinner items: aji de gallina, arros chaufo and paella. We also added a full pollo a la brasa (braised chicken) and a chorizo sandwich. The chicken came with salad and French fries. We also received three different sauces to try with dinner. Not a fan of offal (organ meat), I tried the antichucos and was pleasantly surprised at the texture and flavor. It was definitely beefier and a touch gamier than most beef, but it was surprisingly tender— about the consistency of beef teriyaki, but dense. The seasonings weren’t spicy, but definitely flavorful. I even had a second piece. It also came with a “dry potato,” which is cut, left to dry, seasoned, and then roasted. With the light seasoning and a firmer, dryer texture, it was a good complement to the dense, beefy heart. The aji de gallina is hen meat and potatoes served in a mild yellow sauce seasoned with hard-boiled egg, garlic and a touch of chili flavor (but no heat, whatsoever). For the not-so-daring, this is a great meal to start with because it is not very strong nor cloyingly rich, but

absolutely delicious. It came with tender white rice and was about the same size serving as I’d expect from an Indian restaurant - not too much, but generous enough to fill one person. The arroz charufo closely resembles a house fried rice, only lighter and fluffier. It can be made with either beef or chicken (and possibly without either for vegetarians). The fried rice also includes peas, carrots and sweet pimentos. Paella is a dish that originates in Spain and this dish showed its Spanish roots with the hint of saffron and a sweeter redpepper seasoning that made the rice burst with flavor. Even better, of course, was

the generous amount of shrimp, calamari and mollusk served with the rice. It was rich without being heavy, yet mild enough for the 18-month-old in our group to keep asking for more, and the most popular of the dishes. The pollo a la brasa was good— tender and flavorful—but wasn’t different from any other chicken that I’ve had of similar quality. The seasonings were basic and effective, so anyone who enjoys chicken would enjoy it. As several in the group are especially fond of chorizo, and the sandwich was the only option that included it, we cut it up and used it as an appetizer. It didn’t need any condiment—despite being less greasy than most sausage. The lettuce that adorned the sandwich stayed crisp and the bread wasn’t at all soggy. Our bill of $65.33 covered four entrees, an appetizer, and a sandwich that fed four people with plenty of leftovers. All of us were happy with the taste and quality. So, if you’re looking for a different cuisine that offers a lot of good reasons to take a chance, definitely stop by Inka’s.

CHECK

With Jen Cantin

Kick off the weekend one night sooner with One Step Further at Tammany Hall on Thursday, October 7, and jam like you’ve never jammed before. Singer Ryan Pasakinskas says, “We’ll be bringing our brand of original jam/ groove/rock to Worcester and are very pleased to be working with Illuminati Illumination, who will be making the show visually enjoyable with his lighting expertise.” New England native Andrew Parker Renga will be starting off the show with his acoustic indie-folk and a smattering of beat-boxing. Wormtown kicks it old school at Ralph’s on Friday, October 8 with The Numbskulls, (Alex of The Numbskulls, pictured) Guns of Navarone, The Commandos and The Automatons who all stick to the roots of pure hard and fast punk. The Commandos have shared the stage with Black Flag and The Addicts, and The Automatons with the Misfits, making these guys kings of street cred. If you can’t “figure out” what to do next, try Nick’s for a CLUE Themed Cabaret with Niki Luparelli, Dan Burke and the Speakeasy Combo. Chanteuse Niki will be dressed as Yvette, the French maid, and Chanteur Dan will appear as Wadsworth. The show is neither a play nor a live-action version of the movie but an interactive night of music and mystery. “We love any opportunity to dress up,” says Luparelli. “Audience members should also feel encouraged to dress up as their favorite Clue character and wear their sleuthing cap. Lower Clef Geoff, my bassist, has spent weeks working on the mystery and back stories for the characters.” Reservations are highly recommended to be comfortably seated as you try to determine if the murder was “on stage with the broken drum sticks, in the dining room with piano wire, in the bar with poisoned absinthe, etc.,” according to Luparelli. Instead of a cover, admission will cost one non-perishable food item to be donated to the Worcester County Food Bank. P.S. Jagermeister and Barenjager drink specials. The most efficient way to see the most music on Saturday, October 9 would be to hit up The Raven to see Iron Cross, For The Worse, Antibodies, Revillers, The Clozapines, Antietam, You’re Under Arrest, Institutionalized, Armed Response and Wreckoning. The bands on the bill can be described, respectively, as punk, hardcore and heavier rock. Iron Cross has been touted as America’s first Oi! band and have been pumping their fists since 1980. If metal is more your style, Metal Mayhem comes to The Palladium (upstairs) with Malice, The Summoned, Gone Astray, In Armistice and Dysentry. With five bands, this one also has the efficiency factor on its side.

One Step Further

Worcester jam rock band One Step Further formed about a year ago when singer/songwriter/ guitarist Ryan Pasakinskas placed a call to fellow singer/ songwriter Scott McGrath. Pasakinskas had an upcoming show in Baldwinville, and asked if McGrath was interested in forming a band to play the gig. McGrath agreed, and soon after the two songwriters recruited friends to form a band whose sound fuses jam rock, groove, and jazz. And while that gig has long passed, the band is still going strong, recently releasing their self-titled debut. “Telephone Tough Guy” features tight acoustic rhythms, stunning electric leads, and sparkling piano interludes as Pasakinskas calls out some “backseat badass” for hiding their “smile behind a cigarette.” And on “Optimistic,” McGrath reasons that there’s “no better way to live” than dancing all his fears away to brassy sax notes. It’s a good thing Pasakinskas made that call, otherwise this magnificent album would never have happened. myspace.com/onestepfurther. OCTOBER 7, 2010 • WORCESTERMAG.COM

Alexis Rougas-Ermilio -Ermilio Alexis Rougas-Ermilio is a Worcester native and Owner of Adventure Boot Camp, LLC. She is a NESTA certified personal trainer, heart zones triathlon coach, mat based pilates instructor, indoor cycling instructor and currently training to be a chi running instructor – oh, and a mother of two on top of it all. She not only helps other women reach their fitness goals, she inspires women through her participation in area triathlons and a devotion to a healthy lifestyle. We got her to slow down enough to ask her a few questions about her own fit mantra. to exercise, I’m too old, I don’t have time.” People need to make it a priority. Instead of updating statuses every five minutes, go out for a walk…add up four to six status reports a day and there’s your 2030 minutes of exercise.

Have you always been so fitness focused? Yes, it’s a great way to relieve stress.

What is the biggest thrill in helping others reach their fitness goals? Witnessing the transformation. I love seeing my clients go from never having worked out to telling me that they jump out of bed at 4:30 a.m. to come to boot camp or remembering how they complained about being sore the first few days of camp and are now competing in half Ironman triathlons.

Why women only? For the most part, it’s the intimidation factor. Whether you’re in shape, look like you’re in shape or out of shape, it can be daunting walking into a gym not knowing where to start or remembering how the machine works. No one cares what you look like at 5:30 in the morning and I’m there to motivate you and properly instruct you on how to do the exercises so that you can surpass your goals and get to that next level of fitness. I do offer a few co-ed sessions throughout the year.

As a Worcester native, where are your favorite places to get fit in the Woo? I love running in my old neighborhood of Newton Square, you can go for miles. There are some beautiful bike routes heading out on Route 122.

What do you see as today’s biggest obstacle to getting fit for most folks?

Tell me about some of the women that you are coaching right now - any

ambitious goals set out before them? They are an amazing group. Some of their goals are as simple as starting to exercise and as ambitious as competing in adventure races and multi-sport races.

What about you – what are you currently training for? Right now, I’m recovering from a broken clavicle … but I’m planning on completing a ½ Ironman Triathlon in 2011 and a full Ironman in 2012.

Tell me about Adventure Boot Camp. Adventure Boot Camp is a four-week program that includes a personal assessment, nutritional counseling and motivational training. The workouts are structured for all ages and fitness levels

and vary every day to keep you interested and challenged. You will be running through obstacle courses, lifting weights and using ropes, balance discs and other fun “toys” that will have you reaching goals you never thought possible!

Your favorite “cheat” food? Pretzel M&M’s.

Top five tips for keeping on track with your fitness plan? 1. Schedule your training. 2. Train with a buddy. 3. Incorporate weights and cardio into your workouts. 4. Include a rest day. 5. Have fun…do something you enjoy… Join Adventure Boot Camp!
