here are lots of diseases and conditions people don’t know much about. Eating disorders — anorexia, bulimia and binge-eating among them — may be well-known conditions, but that doesn’t mean people know a lot about them. Eating right and exercise are all well and good, but in a culture obsessed with body image it can be hard to look past them to see when someone has a serious condition, not a grueling workout routine or a fad diet. But there are other signs – someone wearing extra baggy or extra tight clothes, someone avoiding birthdays or other situations with food. The list goes on, and is invaluable to family or friends who suspect an eating disorder in a loved one. Learn about the signs, and one high-school student’s journey through a unique recovery program, in this week’s feature story.

New emergency dispatch center set for August opening

STEVEN KING

ociety — and Worcester is no exception — generally puts a lot of focus on police, firefighters and paramedics. They are the most visible sign of the government’s promise to look after its citizens. But someone needs to tell those first responders where to go and what the situation is. While they’re mostly invisible — very few children talk about wanting to grow up to be a 911 dispatcher — the people behind the scenes are finally getting the dedicated building they need, upgrading from a dingy room in the Worcester Police Department headquarters to a new, state-of-the-art compound at a crucial time for dispatchers across Massachusetts.

“There’s a lot of dynamic changes for us,” Emergency Communications Director Rich Fiske said. “It’s the most exciting time our department has ever seen, and probably ever will see for a very, very long time.”

Fiske, a former dispatcher himself, may be the least publicly visible member of City Manager Ed Augustus Jr.’s cabinet. But he is active behind the scenes making sure police, fire and the Department of Public Works can do their jobs effectively during emergencies.

“Failure is not an option” is a common saying of his, and the new dispatch center on Coppage Drive has multiple levels of redundancies to handle situations ranging from power outages to fires to uninvited guests.

After myriad delays, the new building is expected to open in August.

The timing couldn’t be better for a new dispatch center, which will serve Worcester and Leicester as part of a regional agreement.

In addition to a new radio system that will replace one from 1996 nearing the end of its lifespan, Fiske and others in his position are grappling with upcoming changes to “Next Generation 911,” an initiative that aims to update dispatch centers with the technology to handle traffic from cell phones, and the unique challenges that poses. State Police currently handle all 911 calls from a cell phone and route them to the appropriate local agency. But Worcester will soon be tasked with handling all those calls, adding to a call load Fiske said numbers around 190,000 Worcester Emergency Management Director Richard Fiske talks about the emergency calls per year, 250,000 phone dispatch room, which is still being constructed. calls total - all in addition to 30,000 radio transmissions per day. said Fiske, who currently employs more than The new center is not all about utility and “I’m going to have to expand. I’m going 50 Worcester dispatchers and will take on function, though. Dispatchers get emotional to have to have more bodies in the room,” Leicester’s four dispatchers if they so choose.

To (free) speak or not to speak: City Council raises questions Tom Quinn

O

ne City Councilor sarcastically suggested a book burning. Another talked about her vaginal area compared to a penis.

And a third threatened to sic the American Civil Liberties Union on the city. It was all part of a circus-like atmosphere at the monthly summer meeting of Worcester’s City Council, which voted to get a report on whether it could outlaw certain language in the official record following a crude and unusual evaluation of City Manager Ed Augustus Jr. last meeting.

Freshman At-Large Councilor Khrystian King submitted the order, which asked the city solicitor to “draft language for a rules amendment that will prohibit the submission of any material by a council member, municipal employee, and or member of the public at large that is profane, contains slurs, or hate speech: this to ensure that it is reflected in the guiding principles of this body that there is no place for such material in the official record of the City of Worcester.

Said language should also serve to protect the City of Worcester from any potential liabilities.”

“Part of our role as councilors is to maintain decorum,” King, who referenced children looking at the Council’s records for school, said. “Part of our responsibility is to be a good representation of the city within these chambers. And of recent time what’s come to my attention is that we have language that becomes part of our official record that is demeaning, that lacks civility and respect, that targets gender, submitted by us. We must be able to do better. We must

be able to represent ourselves better without undermining the content, the spirit of what we’re trying to achieve.”

While King did not mention At-Large Councilor Mike Gaffney by name, District 2 Councilor Candy Mero-Carlson pulled no such punches with her colleague, whose 186page review of Augustus contained clippings from newspapers and blogs, some of which included harsh language.

“Councilor Gaffney’s review contained language that I found offensive, and most of you know I don’t offend easily,” Carlson said. “His review contained a word that as a woman and a member of this legislative body and a member of this community, I found crude and offensive … he used the C-word.

This word is coarse and would be offensive in private discourse. That the gentleman chose to use the word in the context of public review of the city manager is outrageous.”

Gaffney, the lone Republican on the Council, and no stranger to making enemies out of his colleagues, shot back with a defense of the 1st Amendment – skipping over a defense of the content of his review in favor of tying it in with the larger issue of free speech and censorship, complete with a homemade poster board with the amendment printed in large letters as a prop, something other councilors said was evidence of showmanship more than policy discussion.

“We’re going to take the 1st Amendment to the Constitution and we’re going to throw it in the trash, because whatever we don’t like is deemed hate speech,” Gaffney, a lawyer who also cited a Supreme Court decision ruling that hate speech could not be banned, said.

“In the last six months we came up with new

Although other councilors pointed out the new rules are more welcoming than the old method of doing things, where the public was barred from speaking on Tuesdays and only got to speak up in subcommittee meetings, Gaffney’s larger point about a slippery slope effect from limiting speech was well-taken by some of his colleagues.

“Censorship and regulation of speech is being suggested to come to City Hall,” Rosen said. “Maybe we should take a walk down to Worcester Public Library and see if we can find some books we can ban, and maybe even burn.”

Along the way to a conclusion, multiple members of the Council tried to re-frame the discussion either as one about freedom of the continued on page 9

he United States should change her motto. Though “In God We Trust” is perfectly evocative in an election year with nobody else worth trusting, it also lacks in being truly emblematic of our pride and culture. Therefore, I humbly suggest we change our motto to “Go Big or Go Home.”

Think about it. Not only do we have the most powerful military in the world, we also have Doritos Locos Tacos.

Yet there is nothing more American than repressed moral conservatism born of concern for our children: an equal statement of our puritan founding and an idealism that causes us to look to the next generation as reparative of our faults.

In 1982, as outlined in a Worcester Magazine story from July 14 that year, titled, “‘Anti-Porno’ Bylaw Faces Court Challege,” an Ashburnham woman was shocked to see a teenager thumbing through a “dirty” magazine in a pharmacy, and thus began a campaign and ultimately passed a law to prevent realtors from displaying pornographic magazines on their shelves. The owner of the offending pharmacy, respecting the law, covered the magazines with paper.

This, however, was inadequate, and the Ashburnham police department filed a complaint against him. He was acquitted and decided to challenge the law in court for being “void-forvagueness:” after all, what really separates Fifty Shades of Grey and Song of Solomon?

Thirty-four years later and we’re still trying to outlaw things we don’t like. At the Republican convention, we have a platform which is more morally conservative than any previous GOP platform, including not just their usual sermonizing on the evils of gay marriage (which they have not abandoned, spending ample time rejecting the Supreme Court’s ruling in the platform,) and abortion (of course, that remains,)

but also declaring pornography “a public health crisis that is destroying the lives of millions” (True, carpal tunnel is no joke).

And by now we’ve all heard about the fire-and-brimstone attitudes of Gov. Pence.

All of this, we are told, is for the children. It is a synthesis of American puritanism and optimism that makes us hope that if we close our eyes and ban displays of whatever we define as immorality, we can hopefully raise the next generation to be less deviant than we are. Of course, the fact that the pornography situation has gotten significantly more extreme since 1982 (imagine if the worst thing parents worried about their kids seeing was Playboy,) and that the GOP speaks these platitudes after nominating an adulterer and the real-life inspiration for Biff Tannon in Back To The Future Part II speaks to the success of American puritanism.

often, Fiske said, a side effect of a job where employees listen to stories about crime, fires and tragedies daily. The “depressing little room” at the WPD station, in addition to being at capacity and inadequate for expansion, did nothing to help their peace of mind or well-being. So the new building was designed to be welcoming, with lots of glass and inviting colors.

“It’s a combination of modern and ‘Worcester industrial,’ I’m told,” Fiske said. “[My employees’] big push-back to me was, we want something nice. ‘We want something bright, and open, and airy, and something we can call our own’ … we don’t want them to sit in the parking lot and say, ‘I don’t want to go in there.’”

In addition to returning space at WPD headquarters back to the department, the dispatch center will also free up space for the Worcester Fire Department at their Grove Street training station.

That location currently serves as the city’s Emergency Operations Center, the place city officials and emergency responders go during a major event like a blizzard or hurricane to plan and manage events. That room takes around two hours to prepare currently, Fiske said – in the new setup, the EOC will be available instantly at any time.

The plan all along for Leicester has been to take the money they will save on dispatcher salaries and reinvest it in the police department when their services are merged with Worcester’s, which could result in two more full-time police officers, even as the town takes on administrative costs for tasks the dispatchers used to do in their spare time.

“The town won’t have to pay them above and beyond those grant funds,” Leicester Town Administrator Kevin Mizikar said. “We’ll take those funds and put them back into emergency services.”

The dispatch center has been a long time coming. At various points in its life, officials have pegged its completion date as September 2014, January, November and then December 2015, and most recently June 6, 2016.

The new move-in date is set for Aug. 3.

“It did take longer than we would have liked,” Mizikar said.

“But I think the delay was beyond the control of the city.”

One delay arose when the steel required to construct the building – which will be the “last one standing” in a disaster near the airport, according to Fiske – was late arriving to the site.

Another problem cropped up with Verizon, leading to a delay in the all-important wiring of the building. Verizon dealt with a wellpublicized union strike earlier in the year.

“We need to do it right. I would rather be right than push it too hard and miss something,” Fiske said. “It’s better for me to be good than for me to meet somebody’s deadline … I don’t want to lose calls. I don’t want to open when we’re not ready. And that’s tough for me to say to the city manager or the City Council or the Leicester Board of Selectmen. But we deserve it. You deserve it.”

And Fiske said the center will be worth the wait. In addition to neat ideas inside the building – different floors under different parts of the building to accommodate wires, for example, or a fire suppression system that does not use water as to avoid damaging the electronics involved – a three-day test that involved breaking Worcester down into 726 small “grids” and testing radio signal strength in each shows that radio static in certain areas should be a thing of the past.

“I can affirmatively say, I witnessed every test, every grid we hit was 100 percent,” Fiske said. “The test is to stand in the street and do a radio check with an [extended] antennae. We stayed in the car, so we have signal loss, on a shorter antennae, and we still passed. I made Motorola’s test harder for them, and we still passed.”

The center, which was initially pegged at $4.2 million but will see a higher final cost when all is said and done, is a Regional Public Safety Answering Point, which the state badly wants to see implemented across Massachusetts as a way to save costs and improve efficiency. A $1.6 million PSAP grant will help fund the

press, one about representing the city with grace, or one about ulterior motives and politics.

“The fact of the matter is we don’t like who wrote the articles [cited in the evaluation] … this is really about the fact that I used some articles from Turtleboysports,” Gaffney said.

“That’s the truth of it … they say some things that are uncomfortable, and yes, they use some comfortable language.”

In addition to asking about limiting profanity or hate speech, some councilors

asked about the protocol for reprimanding or disowning a particular councilor.

Somewhere along the way, the Council became self-aware about the amount of time they were spending on an issue that does not affect the day to day life of anyone in the city of Worcester.

“I didn’t come here for this,” District 3 Councilor George Russell said. “I didn’t run for this seat to sit here and talk about human body parts. I didn’t run for this council to promote bloggers … I ran for this council to make a difference in the quality of life for

people in this city … we all need to keep our eye on the prize.”

The vote – to get a report from the city solicitor on feasibility and legality of a potential rule change – passed, 7-4, with Gaffney, Rosen, Russell and At-Large Councilor Konnie Lukes voting against it and the rest of the Council supporting.

Hanging over the whole conversation was the memory of the last time Worcester made a rule limiting free speech – a panhandling ordinance that was ruled unconstitutional after a few citizens, including then-School

Committee member Tracy Novick, and the ACLU sued and resulted in over $1 million in attorney’s fees and settlements.

“We don’t exactly have an impeccable track record with regards to defending 1st Amendment rights, do we?” Gaffney asked.

center, and Fiske said the fact it is a regional center and an EOC site makes it eligible for all kinds of new grants, including an annual Emergency Management Preparedness Grant that has already paid out $130,000 to the city.

Worcester has been paying the town of Leicester $25,000 per month since the town signed an amended partnership agreement in December 2015, to help cover the cost of its emergency dispatchers. But Augustus said the money spent didn’t detract from the “net positive” of the center, and also voiced optimism about more communities joining the program – at one point up to 10 surrounding communities were in talks with Worcester, but all except Leicester ducked out.

If the center does not open by Oct. 1, Leicester would have to re-vote on the agreement with Worcester, when the current arrangement expires.

“There was a lot of money that came to the city to incentivize us to create a regional [dispatch center],” Augustus said. “The first taker was the town of Leicester. The building is being built with enough capacity to take in additional towns. The theory always was, because we were trying to get the building open, let’s get the building open, let’s get a successful thing off the ground with Leicester, and then we will talk about bringing other communities into it.”

Fiske said he now has the capacity to take on other communities – although Worcester is “plenty busy” as it stands today, and he said the new center is a boon for the second largest city in New England even without taking regionalization into account.

“Going from the radio system the way it is, the old phone system that we’re on, the facility that was completely inadequate in three different locations, and bring that here – it’s apples and oranges,” Fiske said. “I want my people to be able to do their job, and they can’t really do it effectively where they are.

We’re not serving public safety the way we should … those days are over. We need to do it right, and we’re doing it right.”

DROUGHT CLOUT:

Stop using so much water. Seriously, stop it. Alright, do it if you want, just know that you can’t complain when your water rates go up. Department of Public Works Commissioner Paul Moosey told the City Council this week that his department would be upgrading Worcester from the current Stage 1 drought status, where conservation is mostly voluntary, to a Stage 2 status. That will trigger a mandatory cutback on water use based on street numbers – the odd side gets the restriction one day, then the even side, and so on. If enough people cut back on watering the lawn or washing the car, that could slow down what Moosey called a “historic rate of depletion,” but if nothing changes the city could be forced into a Stage 3 status. It hasn’t been used since 1999, but that would trigger the purchase of water from other sources, driving up costs and leading to a potential increase in water rates to compensate. Dry weather compounds the problem, Moosey said. There is less water flowing into the reservoir from rain, but since there is no rain, people use more water to spruce up their lawns and gardens, leading to problems on both the supply and demand ends of the spectrum. While he stressed a Stage 3 drought is not “inevitable,” Moosey did say it could happen within the next month.

COQUETTISH COYOTES: A year or so ago, it seemed like everyone was going crazy over the “coywolf.” The idea was that the eastern coyote should be reclassified with a name closer to its origins as part wolf, part coyote. Now, two Clark University researchers have made a plea to give the eastern coyote its own species classification.

Why did the Clarkies decide on “coywolf” and not just “eastern coyote?” From the school’s news item: “[Jonathan] Way writes that while the animals are around 60 percent coyote, they are also 40 percent not coyote.” Checks out.

Way and William Lynn, the two researchers, have registered “Canis oriens” with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, fighting words in this weird community.

MO’SMENTUM: With so few contested races for State Representative seats this cycle, you’re probably going to see the news media around Worcester focus more on the 17th Worcester race, featuring incumbent State Rep. Kate Campanale squaring off against the winner of the Democratic primary between Leicester Selectman Doug Belanger and Moses Dixon, both of whom ran last time around, with Belanger losing in the general election. If you didn’t read Worcester Magazine online last week, you missed Belanger attacking Campanale for missing votes at the Statehouse when she went on a service trip to the Dominican Republic, charges Campanale said were exaggerated or fabricated.

This week, Dixon reminded everyone that the Worcester resident is in it to win it by coining a new word - “Mo’smentum.” Oh, dear. The gist of Mo’smentum is that after getting Attorney General Maura Healey’s endorsement, Dixon continues to rack up high-profile supporters, a list that now includes Mass Alliance, a coalition of 28 liberal groups. What the race could shake down to is Worcester versus Leicester – the district covers both – although Dixon’s press release also mentions door-knocking in Leicester, in a keyed-down version of Howard Dean’s 50 States strategy. Hey, what’s going on with that national election thing, anyway? The Massachusetts primary for State Rep. races is Sept. 8.

IT’S SUPER EFFECTIVE: OK, guys, it’s been more than a week, let’s give this Pokemon

Go thing a rest. The virtual reality game is still going strong in Worcester. Walking by Worcester Common at around 9 p.m. this week, this reporter saw a horde of people huddled up by smartphones, catching them all. Turns out we didn’t need the Worcester police assigned to the space to make it safer, after all – we just needed a smartphone game that makes people walk places they wouldn’t normally go. Of course, that can backfire, as in the case of the two men who were robbed at gunpoint as they sat in their car on their phones near Holy Cross. In that case, two 20-something were robbed of cash and a handgun around 7:30 p.m. The theft of the gun has raised some questions, with some internet sleuths and Facebook commenters deducing that the victims must have been doing something untoward. If you have a gun on you, the thinking seems to go, why would you hand it over? Better question – why do we let people who play Pokemon Go carry deadly firearms? If someone is playing with an Etch-A-Sketch one minute, they probably shouldn’t be pulling out a Glock the next. This coming from someone who is a fan of Pokemon Go and oddly restrictive arts and crafts toys.

SUMMER SPECIAL! CANCEROUS FUNT: Oh, how the Worcesteria pages run dry when the City Council is not in

session. You don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone, and the Council getting back in session for the monthly summer meeting was a breath of fresh air. The main topic of conversation was an order asking about maintaining decorum in the Council chambers, focusing on profanity, slurs and hate speech. And of course, “Some People’s Councilor” Mike Gaffney was at the center of the debate, after his evaluation of the city manager last month contained a few dozen swear words. Now, I’m all in favor of lightening the mood, even with a few “f-bombs,” as the kids call them. Where Gaffney ran into opposition from his colleagues was in the inclusion of a gendered insult – the “c-word,” as the adults call it. Rather than redact the offending page in the attached articles section of his evaluation, or cropping out all the photos and comments that weren’t relevant to the point at hand, the firebrand conservative left it all in. That led to a surreal moment with District 4 Councilor and frequent Gaffney critic Sarai Rivera, who earned a glower from Gaffney at one point when she kept talking during his remarks. I’m proud to say that my vaginal area produced two beautiful boys,” Rivera said. “I’d like to see a penis do that.” The point, so much as there was a point to anything in the nearly hour-long discussion, was that she was using the proper terminology, saying the same thing as a Gaffney fan without the same level of offensiveness. Gaffney’s response – and the response of a few councilors – was that limiting the ability to say “bunt” or other similar words was a slippery slope to an end of free speech. Check out the news section for a more in-depth look at the meeting.

NPWAW: By now, everyone with an interest in politics has ready about the plagiarism in

Melania Trump’s speech introducing her husband, Donald (insert an “alleged” in there somewhere if you lean to the right). As this is politics, the Party of Trump soon came up with a comeback. Melania’s speech may have cribbed from First Lady Michelle Obama’s introduction of her husband years ago, but Republicans said Barack Obama stole material from former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick years ago. That story has been well-reported, but one thing not a lot of outlets mention – the offending speech happened in Worcester! The one

by Patrick, of course, not Obama, although the President has also spoken in the Heart of the Commonwealth. If you want to roll the tape, the date was June 6, 2006 at the Democratic convention at the DCU Center. Maybe our next President can steal some material from the Worcester City Council, although I don’t known how “bancerous bunt” or similar phrases would play in front of a national crowd.

IT’S A TRAP: There was some murmuring from some City Councilors when Act Now Worcester, a group who wants Worcester to follow the lead of a few other towns and hold a vote on a federal defense bill, got their petition on the agenda this week, asking councilors to uphold their Constitutional oath. That didn’t sit well with some. “Am I going to be asked every 90 days to take another constitutional oath?” At-large Councilor Moe Bergman said. “... I’ll do it in a year and half if the voters re-elect me. But I’m not going to do it because you guys want me to do it, and with all due respect, I’m not going to do it because you promote certain people on this Council on your blog, the Worcester Herald, and you don’t promote others.” Rich Aucoin of Act Now Worcester, who now have snazzy custom T-shirts, has contributed pieces to the aggregation site, which also hosts some more conservative think-pieces and articles. The murmurs tended to think the petition was only on the agenda to set up At-large Councilor Mike Gaffney for his 1st Amendment argument later in the night, and Gaffney did indeed use Aucoin and fellow protester Sue Serpa in his speech – although given the length of time the two have been coming to Council meetings, which is longer than some current councilors, they might have just been put on hold, or possibly waiting for their nemesis, former City Clerk David Rushford, to retire.

Initial Rate

The initial rate of 2.875/3.6387% APR is based on a 30-year mortgage with a 20% downpayment. At the initial rate, there would be 60 payments of $414.90 on a 30 year $100,000 loan. Payments do not include taxes and insurance, which will affect your obligation.

After the first 5 years, the interest rate may adjust every 36 months, but never more than one percentage point per adjustment period and no more than three points during the life of the loan. Over the life of the loan, the note rate can never exceed 5.875%.

If after 5 years, the note rate adjusts to 3.875%, monthly payments on a 30 year, $100,000 loan would be $462.11; if after 8 years the note rate adjusts to 4.875%, monthly payments would be $507.01; if after 11 years the note rate adjusts to 5.875%, monthly payments would be $548.79 and your rate and payment will never increase further for the life of the loan! Projected interest rate based on current index plus margin and your actual interest rate and payment may be higher or lower.

Editorial Now is time to get kids outside

W

e don't need numbers and charts to tell us why it is important for our children to get outside whenever they can and get active. The facts are plain and simple: a physically-active child is more likely to maintain healthy weight and have strong bones and muscle, improved posture, balance and flexibility and greater self-esteem.

That’s just to name a few of the benefits.

Summer is the perfect time to have this discussion, and with so many kids seemingly addicted to the downloadable games on their iPhones or iPads, it is a critical conversation to have.

A child sitting on the couch, playing Warcraft, is not getting physical exercise. But it can be hard to get that child off the couch and out of the house. Parents may tire of the arguing and verbal tug-of-war sometimes required to get their children to put down their video games and go outside. But it is an argument parents cannot afford to lose.

Your child, depending on his or her age or stage of development, may well go outside, stand there and cry for 5 minutes, hoping sympathy will win over and you may rescue them from the horror of having to actually play in a sandbox or shoot some hoops.

It is imperative that, as parents, we remain firm, knowing that to give in may stop the tears, but does nothing to help the child’s health.

Dr. Jennifer Bram, assistant professor of pediatrics at UMass Medical School, stresses the importance of an active child – and of a family that encourages that behavior.

“Exercise is such an important part of our developmenty, in terms of being a child,” Bram said in a brief video released by UMass.

Parents, she said, should “really think about family time as active time, because if your child sees you doing it, they’re so much more likely to incorporate it themselves.”

This doesn’t necessarily mean forcing your child to run a mile or ride a bike all day. Sports, games, walks and other activities can go a long way in shaping an overall healthy child.

Want to go to the neighborhood park? Try walking instead of driving, if it’s not too far. Is baseball practice not too far away?

Try having the child walk there – or, if the child is too young to walk alone, make the short trip by foot with him or her.

Remember, kids between the ages of 5-17 need at least an hour a day of moderate to vigorous activity, although experts encourage up to three hours a day.

The best kinds of activities are the ones that make your child breathe a little heavy, or even sweat a little.

Getting the heart rate up and sweating are, Bram noted, “positive reactions to exercise.”

Oh, and if you have trouble winning the “put down the game and get outside” battle, try leveraging your child’s desire for “screen time” with reasonable requirements of active, outside play time.

Or, you could compromise and walk around outside, playing Pokemon Go. Hey, at least your child is moving, right?

MYOB on the Rhode Island roads Janice Harvey

T

raffic was light on the way to Rhode Island’s Scarborough Beach. Pal Wendy and I hit the pavement by 7:30 in the morning, knowing that highway construction can be a crap shoot.

Not far from the beach, we pulled into a Dunkin Donuts.

In all my coffee-drinking days, I’ve never seen a more poorly designed DD, with a parking lot the size of my flip-flop and a drive-thru more congested and impossible to escape from than the line for free-tomato-plant day at Spag’s. Google it, if you’re under 35. Or ask your dad.

We managed to snake our way back out into traffic when we heard a man’s loud voice, shouting angrily. Because Wendy is the only driver who comes close to being as bad at it as I am, we looked to see if our car was the problem.

What we encountered was the ZZ Top look-alike driver of a transport vehicle screaming from his cab, down into the window of a car with two teenage girls inside. The girls looked terrified, as he rained down a barrage of profanities and insults, most of which I can’t bring myself to type. His tirade included a half-dozen f-bombs as adjectives modifying the charming word “sluts,” and variations of that label. We were stunned. When the light changed, he cut us off without looking and sped away, but not before I jotted down the transportation company’s name and license plate number. The girls headed in a different direction, probably to crawl back into bed, weeping.

Most trucking companies appreciate calls about their drivers; many trucks have “How Am I Driving?” stickers, encouraging feedback. Not this company. I Googled the name on the cab door and left a message, regarding the disgraceful behavior of their driver. I assumed I’d get a return call thanking me for my concern, along with reassurances that the driver would be dealt with accordingly. Fat chance.

I got a call-back, alright. From the moment I said “hello,” the dispatcher on the other end began yelling at me. She told me she knows the driver, and he’s a great guy, yada yada, and I didn’t know what preceded the screaming (though the word “preceded” was not in her limited vocabulary, trust me) that the girls had cut him off and gave him the finger. All of this is entirely possible, I said, but no excuse for a driver who represents your company to scream profanities out the

window of your truck at anyone.

“The driver was a victim of road rage!” she exploded. “And we have your number! You will be a witness! Those girls will be arrested!”

I patiently explained that both vehicles were stopped at a red light when I witnessed his verbal assault, so I would be no help in defending her driver. She continued to shout at me, and when I asked her why she was angry with me for reporting the incident, she said she wasn’t shouting - even though I was holding the phone away from my good ear.

I was beginning to see why this truck driver (who actually looked more like an extra from “Duck Dynasty,” now that I think about it) felt comfortable screaming at strangers - he’s been down this road before and his job is secure.

Here’s my favorite part of the dispatcher’s argument: “Why is it okay for a car to pull up next to you with rap music blasting swear words outta the radio, but he can’t shout a few at someone who cut him off and gave him the finger?”

You’d think by now, after getting into countless Facebook brouhahas with block-headed Trump supporters, I’d be immune to stupidity. Apparently not, because I was nearly rendered speechless. Nearly.

“That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard,” I said.

“One is a live person, a threatening, live person. The other is a radio.”

She ignored the obvious and went on to tell me they have my phone number, ominously warning me that, “If this is found to be a case of road rage, you will be a witness!”

“Against your driver,” I reminded her.

“You will be hearing from us!” she yelled.

But I won’t, because that’s when I blocked the company’s number. I suspect Hillbilly Joe Longhaul didn’t get in a speck o’ trouble for being a highway menace. I further suspect I was talking to Mrs. Longhaul, because nobody gets that worked up over a complaint, unless it’s personal. These two probably spent their afternoon throwing somethin’ into the muddy waters off the Tallahatchie Bridge.

If you’re interested in the Rhode Island trucking company’s name, I won’t share it here, but I will send you on a factfinding mission: It starts with a “C” and ends with an “A.” I can think of at least two words beginning with those letters that the driver spat out against those girls. Use your imagination.

“Just to be clear, ‘I was looking for a Pokéstop’ is not an acceptable reason for being on the backporch of someone’s house with a crowbar at Two o’clock in the morning!”

EATING DISORDERS: crippling, deadly – and beatable Tom Quinn

For many people, mealtimes are not always about the food.

Maybe you’re talking with a family member or a date, maybe you’re absorbed in an episode of your favorite TV show, or maybe you’re just scarfing something down at your desk at work. continued on page 15

Eating can be taken for granted, but for someone with an eating disorder, it can be a tortuous exercise. Alicia Saladino knows that all too well.

When the high school senior from Webster went to Walden Behavioral Care, the counselors had to distract her and others in the program from the meal at hand so they could get some food down.

“We would talk and play games,” Saladino told Worcester Magazine recently. “You’re still focusing on the meal, but you’re not so focused on it that you can’t deal with it.”

“Dealing with a meal” may seem like a foreign concept to some, but for Saladino and others suffering from anorexia, a condition whose victims starve themselves in the quest for a different body image — one that has claimed countless lives — simple tasks can become trials.

Saladino said her condition degenerated to the point where she would hole up in her room.

“I did not want to leave my house, ever,” she said. “I didn’t want to be in front of people, I didn’t want people to look at me. I was so self-conscious that I was like, I don’t want to go to parties. I would just sit in my bedroom all day. Even if it was just friends, I wouldn’t want to go over their house.

“At my house I could do what I wanted to do with my food. I didn’t know what [my friends] had for food, and it freaked me out. It just consumes you.”

Now, Saladino is healthy and speaking out about her condition. For that, she credits Walden, a private, Waltham-based company with an office in Worcester that treats anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating and other eating disorders. The organization claims to have helped many people overcome their food issues through a “whole person” approach and a unique treatment strategy that helps people at whatever level of care they require.

Walden’s Worcester location may be unassuming, but it is a key outpost in the organization’s mission of treating an oftenoverlooked disease.

eating disorders - and one of the most deadly.

A 2011 study found anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder, which makes the fact that only about a third of people with the condition are currently receiving treatment worrying.

Laura Roias, program director for Walden’s Worcester branch, said eating disorders are particularly problematic because it is not just about mealtime – having a distorted body image, and eating unhealthily because of it, leads to all kinds of problems, not just for the

person affected, but for their friends and loved ones.

“I’d say eating disorders don’t leave any aspect of one’s life untouched,” Roias said. “They affect school, work, attendance.

If you’re constantly in treatment you can lose your job, or not pass [a class]. They definitely impact relationships, family, friends. A lot of people describe it as an ambiguous loss. Your family member or friend is still physically there, but they’re not the person you used to know because they’re so consumed with food thoughts or weight thoughts. They’re just sad and lifeless. Because it impacts your mood and your hobbies, most people don’t know who they are. They don’t get joy out of anything.”

Eating disorders also have a significant genetic component.

“Usually, what happens is someone has the genetic predisposition and something sets it off,” Roias said. “Whether it’s a major life transition like going to college or high school,

CHECKING FOR CLUES

Saladino’s mother, Karen, brought her daughter to Walden. She said one of the most crucial moments was when she went with Alicia to buy a prom dress, and saw her daughter’s true weight for the first time.

“I thought I was going to have a heart attack. The bones,” Karen Saladino said. “She always wore baggy clothes, so I never noticed before.”

That’s a potential symptom of an eating disorder – someone wearing baggy clothing to hide what his or her body looks like. Roias can tick off a long list of other warning signs.

Eating Disorders Among Adults: Anorexia Nervosa

norexia nervosa is characterized by emaciation, a relentless pursuit of thinness, a distortion of body image and intense fear of gaining weight, and extremely disturbed eating behavior.

ANOREXIA AFFECTS YOUR WHOLE BODY

Walden Behavioral Care Executive Director Laura Roias: It is important to gain a better understanding about eating disorders. a death in the family, a trauma – something like that can trigger it.”

Of course, no amount of statistics or data or medical reasoning is going to make someone with an eating disorder think other people truly grasp what they are going through.

“One of the biggest complaints patients have is that nobody understands,” Roias said. “And that’s why it’s so important for people to get a better understanding of what it’s like. Because intuitively, it doesn’t make sense. Why doesn’t she want to eat? What’s the problem?”

“That’s the most common question. ‘Why don’t you just eat this?’” Saladino interjected. “Because I don’t want to, that is why. Or because it makes you feel so physically sick to your stomach.”

“Any changes in exercise, and getting very agitated if you can’t exercise,” Roias said. “Disappearance at mealtime.

Sudden changes in dressing – either very baggy clothes to hide one’s body, or wearing really tight-fitting clothes to try to be in a smaller size. Avoiding social situations that might involve foods.”

The problem lies in a denial of the problem by the person who needs help. Saladino said she did not think anything was wrong with her, and had to be hoodwinked into an appointment at Walden.

“My mom tricked me by saying I was going to a doctor’s appointment, and brought me [to Walden],” Alicia Saladino said. “I had absolutely no idea. I thought everything was fine.”

Her story is not unusual. Roias said while clients do not need a referral to come to Walden for treatment, many times a continued on page 18

Eating Disorders Among Adults: Binge Eating Disorder

inge-eating disorder is characterized by recurrent binge-eating episodes during which a person feels a loss of control over his or her eating. Unlike bulimia, binge-eating episodes are not followed by purging, excessive exercise or fasting. As a result, people with binge-eating disorder often are overweight or obese. They also experience guilt, shame and/or distress about the binge-eating, which can lead to more binge-eating.

family member is the one to identify a problem, while the client needs some convincing.

“Some people acknowledge something’s off with their eating patterns, but can’t quite pinpoint it, or think that changes in their eating habits are normal or healthy when they’re actually not,” Roias said.

In hindsight, Karen Saladino said, it was clear something was off with her daughter. Chopping up a salad for lunch, mood swings, constant fatigue and complaining of being cold during the summer were all red flags – but in a society where knowledge of eating disorders is not widespread, those red flags can often escape notice.

“I knew she was losing weight, but she was doing a lot of exercising, I didn’t think anything of it,” Karen Saladino said. “I noticed that it would take a lot longer to eat. It could take up to an hour to eat sometimes. As a parent you don’t notice all these signs. Until she started the program – I was like, all those signs were there, now that I think about it, all the different things.”

Alicia Saladino said she suddenly started avoiding foods she had previously loved – another bad sign. She said she would not let anyone else prepare her meals, needing complete control over her eating habits.

Bulimia Nervosa

B

ulimia nervosa is characterized by recurrent and frequent episodes of eating unusually large amounts of food (e.g., binge-eating), and feeling a lack of control over the eating. This binge-eating is followed by a type of behavior that compensates for the binge, such as purging (e.g., vomiting, excessive use of laxatives or diuretics), fasting and/or excessive exercise. Unlike anorexia nervosa, people with bulimia can fall within the normal range for their weight. But like people with anorexia, they often fear gaining weight, want desperately to lose weight, and are intensely unhappy with their body size and shape.

was terrified of carbs,” Saladino said. “[Be careful] if someone is staying away from a certain type of food you know they like.”

Other potential symptoms of an eating disorder include making food so hot or cold it is unpalatable, according to Roias, or making odd food combinations that don’t make much sense.

MYTHS AND STEREOTYPES

“Almost everything people believe about eating disorders is inaccurate,” Roias said.

One of the biggest misconceptions surrounds the demographic that is affected by eating disorders. The stereotype, sometimes alluded to in the media, is a young girl either starving herself or “purging” after a meal to look thinner. But Roias said that stereotype is wrong, and ignores other segments of the population.

While anorexia, bulimia and binge-eating are more common in females, men also suffer – 0.3 percent of American males suffer from anorexia, according to NIMH, compared to

0.9 percent of females, and the gap is similar across other eating disorders. Roias said Walden sees all types of clients.

“They don’t just affect women or girls,” Roias said. “There’s a perception that it’s a

Eating disorders are also not voluntary – which may seem like an obvious statement, but there is a perception among some that

“There’s so much more going on.”

Alicia Saladino concurred.

“I feel like telling someone who has an eating disorder to just eat is the same as

telling an alcoholic to just not drink,” she said. “It’s just so much more.”

Alicia Saladino’s advice for others struggling with an eating disorder is to talk to somebody about it.

“Don’t try to keep it all in,” she said. “That’s not fun.”

THE COLLEGE CURSE That aligns with advice from Martha Sullivan, director of Health Services at Holy Cross, who said she has seen students share details of their struggle with friends on campus and witnessed positive results – thus, dispelling a fear people with a disorder might have about stigma or being shunned.

“I think it’s hard for students to share that information. They keep it hidden and struggle alone,” Sullivan said. “But I’ve also noticed that once students are able to share it with their team, with their trainer, with their group of friends – those friends rally around them

and are supportive of them. In my experience, when they are able to share, instead of feeling shamed, the students here rally around them and are supportive of them.”

Statistically, female college students are among the most susceptible to eating disorders. The Multi-Service Eating Disorders Association found that 25 percent of collegeaged women engaged in binging and purging as a weight-management technique, and a 2006 National Eating Disorders Association survey found 20 percent of college students reported having an eating disorder. And one 2011 study studying 13 years of data at one university found eating disorders were rising, from 23 percent to 32 percent in females and from 8 percent to 25 percent in men.

Eating disorders are also not just a fad or a phase. NIMH reports there are not “statistically different lifetime rates” for people between age 18-59 for any of the three most common eating disorders. That age range increases to 60-plus years when it comes to anorexia.

“You don’t just grow out of it,” Roias said. “It’s not like somebody turns 30 and suddenly it’s gone. We treat a lot of people who are in their 50s or 60s or 70s who are still struggling.”

GETTING OVER IT

Alicia Saladino started coming to Walden for treatment last June, starting in the inpatient clinic in Waltham, where she lived with a number of other clients.

“It was probably the roughest week of my life, and I hated everyone during that week,” she said.

Over time, she started to realize she had a problem and began to appreciate the care she was given. Part of making it over that hump was realizing what, exactly, Walden was all about.

“I think there’s a huge fear factor, thinking that if you go to treatment the whole point is to make you fat, and they discharge you and you’re fat,” Roias said. “People don’t understand what treatment looks like and don’t want to be judged.”

Alicia Saladino said she did not feel judged going in – except by herself.

“That was my biggest complaint,” she said.

“I thought, ‘They’re going to make me fat, I’m going to be disgusting, and I’m going to weigh more than I did before.’ You don’t want to change, because you’re so comfortable with it. But you’re destroying your body.”

After some time in a hospital setting, Alicia Saladino was transferred to an apartmentstyle living arrangement, and eventually cut down her treatment to therapy visits a

few times a week. The ability to meet clients where they are in their lives – offering the least restrictive level of care possible, and staying with them from the start of treatment through recovery – is what makes Walden unique, Roias said.

“We’re known for our systems of care,” Roias said. “We have an inpatient unit, a residential program, a day program, and a half-day or evening program. So people have options, it’s not like if you don’t meet an inpatient level of care we can’t treat you, or if you can’t drop everything in your life for treatment … We’re the only place in New England that has a full continuum of care, and one of probably only two or three in the country.”

In addition to Waltham and its Worcester branch, Walden has locations in Peabody, Braintree and Amherst as well as a growing presence in Connecticut. Actually, the organization as a whole is expanding – not necessarily because of an increase in eating disorders, but because more people can seek out its services, which can be covered by health insurance.

“I think treatment has become more accessible,” Roias said. “People in Massachusetts have more health insurance today. But there’s also more education, and doctors are able to diagnose and refer more people to treatment. And there’s fewer barriers to care.”

Still, even with its multitude of hospitals, the Bay State has not been a historic powerhouse when it comes to eating disorder treatment. Roias cited Florida, Arizona and California as the leaders in that role. But recently, Walden and others have started making treatment more easily available to people who could not afford out-of-pocket trips to specialized locations.

“Historically, you sent a person with an eating disorder off to a boutique-type resort,” Roias said. “But that model has really shifted.

Those were mostly self-pay options.”

Walden’s model is not just about helping people gain back weight, although that is part of it. The main goal is to treat the whole person by offering counseling and other services, helping clients see the world – and themselves – in a better way. The mix of methods was effective for Alicia Saladino.

“They had a kitchen in there, and tables set up,” she said. “If you weren’t able to finish a meal, they would always go around and be very positive about trying to get you to take one more bite. But if you really couldn’t do it, they did have Ensure and Boost as a supplement, so you would still get what you need.”

But someone has to walk through the door before treatment can start – a challenge for such a stigmatized disorder. The good news, according to those in the know, is there is life after treatment.

“If someone has to leave to get care, they might see it as the end of the

So they have their morning snack and afternoon snacks, so in the busyness of their schedule they have the opportunity to meet their goals.”

Walden also tries to involve parents or a client’s support system as much as possible.

While not always available, a strong support network does wonders for recovery. There are separate “parent meetings” at Walden, and parents receive nearly as much education on eating disorders as their children, something Karen Saladino said was a huge help.

“I cannot rave about this program enough,” she said. “When I first started, they said you have to be involved. I would have to come twice a week, and I would bring the meal.

They would give me a meal plan, and I would bring it. But the first time they told me, I was like, I’m not the one with the problem. I don’t understand why I have to do this. But the more I thought about it, I thought, how is she going to come home if I don’t understand diet, they discouraged her from eating as what’s going on? much as she should have.

“They taught us how to feed her again.

time for meals may be good for productivity, she said, but it is bad for health.

“Our culture doesn’t do a good job of prioritizing sitting down and having a meal,” Roias said. “Schools have really shrunk the time kids have to eat. You have to scarf your food down. And you look at fields like medicine, and people eating at their desks – there are cultural things that play into that.”

Getting reintroduced to the “real world” of food and eating can be difficult for Walden clients. The process has to be slow and thoughtful, not rushed – as was Alicia Saladino’s first visit to a restaurant after months of carefully crafted meals.

“We went into Boston one day, and it was the first time they had increased their meal plan, and it was also the first time we had

done a restaurant,” Karen Saladino said. “We tried, and it was awkward. It was probably the worst meal we ever had.”

Speed bumps aside, Alicia Saladino is back to her old self, with considerably more of a balanced outlook on nutrition and stigma than many her age. Platitudes such as “people will love you for you” may be true, she said, but that doesn’t mean they are helpful in an image-obsessed society – or high school.

“You can always tell people they don’t need to care about how they look. But it’s a hard thing to grasp. It’s so ingrained in everyone’s minds that we need to look a certain way,” Alicia Saladino said. “I got compliments in school from [losing weight], before I got really really bad. And it’s always in your head that you can look even better. And you’re never satisfied.”

LIFE AFTER TREATMENT

When she was in recovery, Karen Saladino took the mirror out of her daughter’s room. It still hasn’t returned, even after the recovery, and the younger Saladino said she is not sure she wants it to.

“Days come and go,” Alicia Saladino said.

“I’m recovered, but I still have my days. It’s one of those things that’s not going to leave, it’s always going to be in the back of my mind. But I don’t let it take over.”

Karen Saladino, meanwhile, said she is ever-grateful to her daughter’s high school for recommending Walden, and said there was no way the family could have handled the condition alone.

“I don’t see how anybody can do it without support,” she said.

While platitudes may fall on deaf ears for those living with an eating disorder, part of the magic of Walden is to make the things others take for granted palatable to people who can’t keep food down, or can’t stop eating.

“You don’t have to live hating your body,” Roias said. “And you don’t have to live life feeling guilty about something you ate three days ago.”

And while the individual or loved ones should seek help, there are definitely societal changes that could cut down on eating disorders, or at least make it easier for those with a problem to seek help without feeling judged.

“The media messages for men and women of thinness – all media should change to get [people] accepting who you are,” Sullivan said. “Everyone has different body types – the thin model is not the ideal body type for everybody.”

When she was going through Walden’s program, Alicia Saladino said she did not want anyone to know where she was. Today, she is ready to serve as an advocate for people with eating disorders, and an example for others in her situation who may feel like they have nowhere to go.

“Now, I’m OK with it,” she said. “Now I just want other people who are going through it to get better and get the help that they need. It’s not good to see other people suffer through it, because you know exactly how they’re feeling. If I could scream from the top of a building for everyone to come here, I would.”

Worcester Historical Museum director shares a few of his favorite things

Joshua Lyford

What do a teddy bear, a dog collar, a toilet, a piano, a mascot and a laundry ticket have in common? They’re all a few of William Wallace’s favorite things - and they’re all a part of the deep, interesting and entirely evocative history of Worcester on display at the Worcester Historical STEVEN KING Museum.

“Within 24 hours I was driving through the bowels of Maine,” recalled Wallace. “It’s not the entire museum, but we got some of it back. It’s not overly attractive, but this is our history.”

There is a dog collar from 1794 in the collection. The collar was for a dog owned by a Worcester resident named Ephraim Mower.

The collar would fit quite a large dog and lends itself to all sorts of fun questions. Were dogs a popular pet in this time period? What

Wallace is executive director of the museum, and to celebrate its 140-year history, not to mention Wallace’s 40 years in charge, he was tasked to choose some of his favorite things from the museum’s thousands of objects, some of which have never been exhibited before.

The exhibit is called “Some Favorite (Amazing, Incredible, Awesome) Things,” and will run through Saturday, Sept. 3.

“The assignment was to pick some favorites of mine, or pieces we wanted to rethink or revisit,” said Wallace.

“It’s more about how these things arrived here, more so than what they are,” added Worcester Historical Museum exhibit coordinator Vanessa Bumpus. “This belongs to everyone, it doesn’t belong to just us. That’s what this exhibit is about. This history is for everyone.”

Among the treasured items is a “sweet and cuddly” teddy bear (as the placard reads) that belonged to Mary Gage in the early 20th century. Gage ended up marrying Albert Rice, and the pair became one of the most beloved benefactors in Worcester (whose donaWorcester Historical Museum Executive Director tions included funds for the Salisbury Mansion purchase and the pipe kind of dog was this? organ at All Saints Church).

Role model responsibility: Ms. Massachusetts U.S. calls Worcester home Joshua Lyford

Ivania Nicole Rosario, Ms. Massachusetts United States 2016, grew up in Framingham before attending Anna Maria College and moving to Worcester. She has resided in Central Mass more than10 years, and uses her experience as a model and community member to inspire area youth.

“This is a huge thing for Worcester,” Rosario said of the title win. “This has been my home for a long time. Everywhere has their ups and downs, but ultimately, it’s a beautiful place and it’s treated me well.”

Rosario started Miss Central Massachusetts seven years ago in order to offer a local pageant system for area girls and women. The program is available for ages 5-27. Within the four divisions, there are no height or weight requirements, a distinction Rosario believes in important, as in addition to the standard pageantry skills like stage presence, walking and interview abilities, Miss Central Mass is designed to build confidence and self esteem.

“I’m all about breaking down boundaries for girls,” explained Rosario. “I want them all to know they’re beautiful in their own skin.

Society tends to say that you have to fit into a certain image and you really don’t. This is changing with this generation. There are a lot of types of beauty out there.”

Rosario herself has broken through some barriers because, she said she breaks the mold in some ways herself.

“I’ve broken down some of those boundaries,” she said. “I’m not that 5-feet 9-inches standard.”

“I encourage them to join,” continued Rosario. “They might say they’re not tall enough or a certain weight. I encourage them anyway. I had a 2014 winner that was bullied in high school and even dropped out because she wasn’t like the other girls. She ended up winning. You’d be surprised. I was super happy that she won. It shows the public that you don’t have to be a certain size or look.

She was beautiful. Her confidence built up and she’s doing a great job.”

That self esteem and confidence building is particularly important for young women who plan to enter the modeling or fashion industries.

“It’s really about being an inspiration to girls,” Rosario said. “You encourage them and talk to them and give them that boost. In the fashion industry, you will get rejected. You

PHOTO SUBMITTED/ LEDOM STATUS

need dedication. I’ve been rejected before and I understand that it might be because I’m not the look they need for that. If you’re told no and don’t have the self esteem, that can be hard.

Some girls don’t have that drive or that extra push. That’s what I’m here for.”

Rosario enjoys the ability to not only work with young women and help with self esteem and confidence, but also to represent Massachusetts at the Miss United States Pageant Nationals at the Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada, Aug. 4-5.

“I’m really honored to represent Massachusetts at nationals,” said Rosario. “I’d love to be the voice of these young girls and promote it more. There’s such a stigma on pageantry.

It really does help a lot of girls with their life skills and public speaking skills. You have to surround yourself with the right people. In any industry you have to roll with the punches.

There are pros and cons in everything.”

Between the swimsuit competition, evening gown competition and all of the other contests that go into deciding Miss United States, Rosario said, the most scrutiny is held over the onstage interviews.

“Really, the interview is the most important part of the pageant,” she said. “They want to know that you’ll represent the organization correctly and do as much as you can for the title.”

Rosario and the young women of Miss Central Massachusetts are big on volunteerism, which is in line with the Miss United States Pageant expectations. For instance, they will be volunteering at the Why Me House for a Friday, June 22 Ice Cream Social. Why Me is a Worcester nonprofit created to help Central New England families cope with childhood cancer.

“You have a responsibility to carry your title and be involved,” said Rosario. “When you’re a titleholder, you have to be a role model to the community and inspire everyone else and stay involved. I’ve already been involved in the community, but this is holding it with honor.

You just be a role model and be as involved as you can.”

You can check out Rosario’s Exclusives Music Meets Fashion Store at 39 Pleasant St. For more information on the Miss Central Massachusetts Beauty Pageant, visit Misscentralmass. com. Rosario will be volunteering at the Why Me House Ice Cream Social event on Friday, June, 22 at 6 p.m.

Remember the old National Lampoon cover showing a gun pointed at a dog’s head with the hostage demand, “If you don’t buy this magazine we’ll kill this dog.”? In some minds, the rebooted “Ghostbusters” arrives with a perversely similar accusation preceding it: If you don’t like this movie, you hate women.

Yes, that the hallowed “Ghostbusters” was reimagined with women in the lead roles singed a host of fanboys who took to social media to decry director Paul Feig’s desecration of a comedy classic. Some of the complaints were so whiny it was as though Feig had told them the truth about Santa Claus or sat on their birthday cake.

In my pre-emptive self-defense, I love women. I married a great one, fathered another, am son and brother to four more, and have worked alongside many others.

But I dislike like this movie for one simple reason.

It’s not funny.

All I want, all I need, in a comedy is that it make me laugh. Period. This long-aborning remake took four talented ladies who have generated big laughs in other venues and dumped them into plotless mush that tries to conjure up the magic of the original while misplacing the wand. The actresses aren’t served, and neither is the audience. If you want to get on Feig for anything, get on him for that.

Casting would not matter if the final product held up to scrutiny. Kristin Wiig plays Erin, a Columbia physicist who loses her job after it’s revealed she investigated a haunted New York City mansion with a couple of modern-day ghost chasers — old friend Abby (Melissa McCarthy) and flaky nuclear engineer Jillian (Kate McKinnon). They are soon joined by a streetwise subway worker

(Leslie Jones) to battle a rash of paranormal activity throughout the city (the hauntings are summoned by an entirely forgettable villain played by Neil Casey). Their receptionist is a himbo named Kevin (a game Chris Hemsworth), who struggles to answer a phone or assemble a coherent thought.

So why doesn’t “Ghostbusters” work?

It’s the writing. Something is wrong when the biggest chuckles in a tent-pole summer comedy are found in a few stray one-offs delivered from the sidelines: a tour guide (“Silicon Valley’s” Zack Woods) describing the accoutrements of a historic mansion, which include the “face bidet” and the Irish-proof fencing, and the obstructionist New York mayor (Andy Garcia) protesting “I am not the mayor from ‘Jaws’!”

Otherwise, the script is punchless. Not even McCarthy can spin gold from Abby’s ongoing spat with a local Chinese restaurant that gives her only one wonton in her soup. And an extended riff on Kevin’s dog being named “My Cat” offers only sheer pain.

Nothing about this movie seems synched, including the cast, which displays less chemistry than a meth lab. Wiig has done wonders playing diffident women, but here she’s so buttoned up she practically flat-lines. McKinnon, who has helped establish the female players as the dominant force on “Saturday Night Live,” seems particularly lost, chewing up the screen with a fidgety performance that reeks of trying too hard.

Comparing this “Ghostbusters” to the 1984 version is an empty exercise, and a little bit of piling on (let’s not forget that the Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis and Hudson also made a weak sequel). There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a reboot 32 years after the original was released; superhero movies do it with far greater frequency — I’ve seen three different Batmen and Supermen in my three decades of reviewing. I was just hoping for a better movie. Even with a gun to my head I couldn’t recommend this one.

Rocky’s goes distance without knockout punch Sandra Rain

When I arrived at Rocky’s Food, Spirits & Music on a recent Saturday evening at 8, I was not surprised to find the bar full and nearly every seat packed with patrons. Rocky’s is the kind of establishment for those who enjoy the Canal District vibe, but can’t quite blend in with the 20-something crowd at Whiskey on Water. Rocky’s calls the public in with live music, fresh air through open windows on goodweather days and cheap beer.

I sat first at an island in the middle of the restaurant floor, waiting for my friend

to arrive. A kind server approached me with a menu and recommended the Blueberry Spritz cocktail special. I ordered it for myself, expecting a take on a traditional Italian aperitif called the Spritz, which contains bitter Aperol or Campari.

Please note a Worcester Spritz bears no relation to an Italian Spritz, though I accept all fault for never inquiring as to the ingredients.

Seats opened up at the end of the bar and I sat down on the last stool, faced with the remnants of empty beer bottles and dirty bar mops. I watched the bartender pour 3 ounces of Three Olives Blueberry vodka over ice and fill the rest of the pint glass with soda water.

He disappeared for a moment and returned

STEVEN KING

from the kitchen with a shallow, 1-ounce plastic cup like the ones school nurses use to distribute medicine. The little cup was filled with refined white sugar which he promptly dumped on top of the concoction and stirred thoroughly with a straw.

“Let me know how you like it,” he said, passing me the cocktail over the bar.

I took one skeptical sip and swallowed hard, grinding specks of undissolved granulated sugar between my molars. His face dropped.

“You don’t like it?” he asked.

“No, it’s good,” I replied. “I just wasn’t expecting it to be so sweet. Could I have another pint of seltzer water?”

That was it. My perfect opportunity to be honest with the man, and I had fallen down on the job. He just looked so eager to please me, I couldn’t stand to disappoint him. Just as I had set to work watering down the Blueberry Spritz, my friend walked in.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

I handed her the cocktail and she took a sip.

“Oh,” she said in understanding.

At the sight of my pretty young friend, the bartender took three long steps down the length of the bar and leaned hard in our direction. continued on page 34

ROCKY’S continued from page 33

“What can I get for you?” he asked her.

She eyed the handwritten sign proclaiming, “3$ SHOTS!” and the specials board that read, “$5 Martinis.” She settled on a watermelon martini, a bright pink Jolly Rancher of a drink served with no garnish.

When I asked the bartender about Rocky’s most popular dishes, he quickly pointed us to the Grilled Chicken Salad and the homemade meatballs. We ordered both, adding a sausage to our meatball dish, with ziti for good measure.

The food arrived on large porcelain platters with a side of sliced Italian bread. A look of recognition passed over my friend’s face and she raised her pointer finger in the air.

“This reminds me so much of Wright’s Chicken Farm,” she said.

She was correct.

The Grilled Chicken Salad was well dressed and featured tasty bits of provolone, two olives and a few slivers of roasted red pepper served over a bed of bagged iceberg lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes. In her novel “Sweetbitter,” Stephanie Danler writes, “Some tomatoes tasted like water, and some tasted like summer lightning.” ’Tis the season for tomatoes, but sadly these were all water and no lightning.

“Isn’t that the best? What a salad!” our bartender announced from across the way. We both nodded at him in agreement trying to match his excitement.

The meatball and sausage arrived over boxed ziti, steeped in a delicious homemade marinara sauce. The meatball was excellently executed - a plump sphere of tender melting sweetness, seasoned to perfection. The sausage did not compare, falling apart in dry crumbles under the light pressure of my fork.

The bartender was back then, resting on his elbows, leaning over the bar.

“We do to-go orders,” he said. “If you ever don’t want to cook, this all makes a great dinner and it’s so reasonably priced.”

We smiled and nodded some more in an attempt to placate his enthusiasm. The women next to us ordered a round of $3 shots with silly names.

“Girls, you have to try these! They’re so fun!” one of the women called down the bar.

I shrugged. “When in Rome,” I said to my friend.

We downed a salted pretzel shot and a Creamsicle shot, respectively, from tiny plastic infirmary cups and motioned for the bill. Our total came to $34.53.

As we headed out the door, the barkeep called after us, “Tell your friends! The number is 75-R-O-C-K-Y.”

Black Sheep Jazz Band Plays a Dixieland Concert.

Black Sheep Jazz Band is a family oriented Dixieland Band, perfect for a party at your house, a Mardi Gras Festival, political rally, clam bake, patriotic parade or jazz concert. We play mostly Dixie Land and Traditional Jazz reminiscent of New Orleans. After Hurricane Katrina, the wonderful jazz of New Orleans had a terrible setback, but that made us all the more determined to preserve

this music and get it out in the public for all generations to hear.

This early jazz is part of our American history and must not be lost or forgotten. All ages swing, sing and dance to the beat of this lively band. When we play for a parade, we ride on a trailer pulled by a truck. There are generally five musicians in the band, but some gigs require eight and some have only the Lou and Jan Duo. We are often asked “Where did you get the name for the band?”

Pappy Boyington, World War II veteran, has always been one of Lou Borelli’s favorite heroes. Pappy flew with an American volunteer group “The Flying Tigers” and he later commanded the famous U.S. Marine Corps squadron, VMF-214 (The Black Sheep Squadron).

Boyington was awarded the Navy Cross and the Medal of Honor by the United States Marine Corps. He led rather an unconventional life and Lou was always fascinated by this incredible man. He always wanted to have a band named in Pappy’s honor, so when he started a Dixieland Band, “Black Sheep” became its name.

You’re a psychology major. What do you want to do with that? I’ve always wanted to be a baseball manager, but if that doesn’t work out being a sports psychologist or a teacher would be great.

Being a pitcher is a more cerebral position.

Does studying psychology help with that?

Yeah, it helps me become more relaxed.

Being able to breathe and relax is a big deal. A lot of what I’ve learned in psychology classes and those ideas help me deal with tough situations.

How does your relationship with your teammates contribute to your performance as a pitcher, which is often seen as a more solo effort? Yeah, it’s something people might not think about, but it’s huge. Being able to communicate with your teammates, and especially with your catcher, is a big deal. And these are relationships I cherish.

You recently had the honor of being one of the players to represent the Bravehearts at the FCBL All Star Game. How was that? It was definitely an incredible experience. I wasn’t really expecting to be picked, but being able not just to be chosen for the game, but to have the Bravehearts host it, and I go to Holy Cross, was really great.

How does going to Holy Cross impact your experience as a Braveheart in the summer?

It’s nice to represent Worcester and play on a field I’m used to. Being able to play where I practice all spring is really great.

Fun By The Numbers Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Born Without Bones

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Scott Ayotte, Jim Creighton and Jonathan Brucato are Born Without Bones. The Milford-based rock group started as a project in late 2009, becoming a full band in 2011. They released their debut, “Say Hello,” in 2010.

Later, in 2012 they recorded “Baby,” and released it in 2013. Currently, the band is working on its third LP, for which a name and release date have not yet been announced, but is expected to be out sometime this year. The band has been around the Worcester music scene for a while, playing local bars and venues, and has even achieved a full U.S. tour, and multiple east and west coast tours. I caught up with BWB before they played Worcester’s Ralph’s Rock Diner back in June. We discussed the new album, their recording process and the reality of being in a touring band.

How is this album different from the last two? all. It’s 100-percent collaborative.

SA: Aside from recording, I feel like it’s How would you say you guys have grown as a our most collaborative album. The first band over the years? record, I played nearly every instrument SA: I would say the sphere of sound because it was like my solo thing I was doing at the time, and then Jim joined the band, Pat joined the band. Jonathan was filling in for a while, but that fill-in spot never changed. I think there was a point where we were like “Yo, you’re in the band now, right?” (Baby) was definitely collaborative, but a lot of songs that were used were written by me around the time of “Say Hello.” Some of the songs were kind of old even at the time they were we recorded. Whereas this new one we’ve been working on, it’s totally the opposite.

There’s no really old song that I wrote in my room or anything like that. Every song was four people working on it together from the beginning.

How does the writing process work for you?

JC: It’s kind of mechanical. We practice

expanded over time.

JC: Definitely gotten a little more experimental.

SA: I mean “Say Hello” is kind of varied,

whereas “Baby” I listen to it and think I’m really proud of the sequencing we came up with, because I think as a record it flows really well. This new record though, I still think it flows well, but there’s a lot more peaks and valleys. There’s pretty sweet songs and then there’s really low, aggressive, dark songs.

How do you manage your time between practicing, recording and touring?

JB: I literally left building a network for

a company like switchers and routers and firewalls to come here (Ralph’s). Jim busts ass. He’s working a couple of jobs right now. Scott’s working out in Grafton.

SA: Yeah. Basically, I think all of us kind of just go 24/7 because of ours jobs, but also because of the band. It’s like that second job that takes up the rest of your time. We each obviously get personal time each week, but for example this week we practiced twice, playing a show tonight, going to the studio on Sunday and Monday, and we were in on Monday.

like two to three times a week in Milford.

We write collaboratively. Someone will have a riff, and then we’ll just sit there and play it for a while and see where it goes, and then we just kind of form songs.

SA: And within the first side of this new record everybody has a riff, everybody has a part, which is awesome. I still see a lot people that I met when “Say Hello” was happening in 2010, 2011, and they obviously see me with these guys, but they for some reason still assume that it’s a solo Are there any times when you’re on tour and you have to play a show and you’re just not thing. This record, you couldn’t say that at

feeling it?

SA: On tour it happens more often than

playing a local show.

JC: Not usually like this, if it’s like a one show. This is what we want to do with our lives. This is the only thing that makes me happy. I’m rarely pissed before I’m going to play. The only time it really sucks is when you’re know you’re just not performing to the best of your ability. I feel like that’s the only time it’s bad. When you know everyone is not in it 100 percent.

SA: Yeah, we’re super critical when we don’t play well. Like we’re all visibly upset.

Any time stick out in particular?

JB: Yeah, we had to play somebody’s

wedding, a friend of ours, and we practiced for a couple months, like let the wedding party pick a set of all 90’s covers, and we learned and rehearsed an hour’s worth and we were playing with another drummer, and probably two songs in he broke his snare head with no back-up.

SA: Yeah, think about it. You’re at a show with other bands, you break a snare head

and it’s a simple, ‘Hey man, can I borrow your snare?’ But you’re at a wedding, you’re the wedding band. It was our first time. We didn’t think that far.

JC: We tried taping it, but then it sounded like a wet paper towel.

SA: It was so disappointing, but it was funny. You just laugh that stuff off.

JB: There was another that I can remember in recent memory, where we played in Philadelphia at a record store. It was certainly bad. You (Ayotte) got tripped, you fell.

SA: Yeah, I don’t know what happened. I think something got unplugged, but like I’m in my own world playing the song and I just go to turn around for whatever reason, and our friend, Ron, was on the ground trying to fix the drums and he straight up table-topped me. I just fall over him into my amp, I turn off all of my pedals, all of Jim’s pedals, and the drums still aren’t fixed. Jonathan’s the only one that gets out unscathed.
