ctivists. Worcester is teaming with them. This week we take a look at four of who we see as among the city’s most active, most passionate and most defiant. Steve Quist. Grace Ross. Holmes Wilson. Billy Breault. The idea was pretty simple: Gather together some of Worcester’s leading activists and fire some questions at them. We wanted to know what sets them off, how long they’ve been outspoken and what gets them the most fired up. Each was candid in his or her responses. They are different, yet the same in that when others run for cover they stand up and take the heat; sometimes they bring the heat, like Billy Breault, who became familiar to viewers across the state and country when he protested the arrival of the body of a dead suspected terrorist at a local funeral home. In Quist’s case, he is on most media platforms – radio, newspapers, online – never afraid to share a point of view or challenge an opinion. Holmes is less a public figure; he spends most of his time online fighting against corporate takeover and control. And Ross is a passionate and compassionate fighter for the downtrodden and mistreated. All four took the time to open up a bit to Worcester Magazine. Take a moment and find out why these activists keep up the fight.

Pat’s Towing: Has company lost its ‘guardian angel?’ Walter Bird Jr.

S

ome people say Patsy Santa Maria Sr. has had a guardian angel with him all these years and that’s why Pat’s Service Center & Towing, which he owns, has been able to hold onto five lucrative city towing contracts, even through years of questions and complaints about how he does business. “There are problems with how things are being run down there, whether it’s ownership or whoever’s steering the ship,” one of Pat’s competitors, Jim Early, who runs Early’s Garage on Park Ave., says of issues surrounding Pat’s Towing. Presumably, it has been Patsy Sr., at the helm. His two sons also work for him. The ship they’re sailing, however, appears to have hit a bed of jagged rocks and that guardian angel some people speak of just may have clipped its wings. Patsy Jr. recently pleaded guilty on an assault charge, Patsy Sr. is accused of bribing a witness in his son’s trial and another son, David, also faces assault charges. The legal entanglements have some people clamoring for the city to pull its contracts with the company, a move City Manager Mike O’Brien has indicated could come sooner than later. It’s all about dotting the “i’s” crossing the “t’s.” “With these compounding charges, I clearly am taking another look at this,” O’Brien says of the latest legal woes to hit the Santa Maria family, including

Patsy Sr.’s bribery charge. “I think there is cause to act as due cause proceeds and I want to follow the letter of the law in that action. There’s no way to predict what’s going to happen in the courts and that party is clearly not going to take this sitting down. I have to make sure I’m smart in my actions,

At-Large Councilor Konnie Lukes, herself a former mayor, says she filed several items years ago concerning things such as requiring towing contractors to accept credit cards as a form of payment, instead of just cash. “It was like a losing battle,” she says. The drama surrounding Pat’s towing

that I’m protecting the city’s interests.” A man answering the phone at the company said Pat Sr. was not available and referred all questions to him. Some councilors are crystal clear in what they want to see: “I think the city manager should pull the contracts and put them right back out to bid,” former mayor and outgoing At-Large Councilor Joe O’Brien says, adding that step probably should have been taken before. “Maybe it’s a little late, but if we can do something now we should.”

is nothing new, Lukes says. “I’m told if a customer tried to get their car or got made, all of a sudden an assault and battery charge would be filed against them,” she says. “It’s like Whitey, you don’t know who is friends and who’s going to retaliate against you.” After a while, Lukes says, she stopped pushing the issue. “I sort of threw up my hands [when it came to Pat’s Towing],” she says. “I didn’t know who his guardian angel was.”

HOME ALONE? Three teens tried the “home all night” routine after trying to break into a pic kup truck early Saturday, Aug. 17, police s ay. According to police, an off-duty officer called in a reported motor vehicle break on Camden Street around 1 a.m. A responding officer saw the suspects hiding next to a parked vehicle in a private driveway on Greenfield Street. The teens took off into the woods when a police cruiser approac hed. According to police, one of the suspects ran to the rear st airs of an Everton Street home. A police offi cer says he heard the boys talking to each other. When police knocked on the door, a 54-year-old man answered and said his 15-year-old son was there. T he boy came to the door and both he and his father told police he was home all night, despite matc hing a description provided by the off-duty offi cer. The boy told police his two friends were with him. Two of the boys were identifi ed as 15-year-olds from East Brookfi eld. A third teen was identifi ed as 17-year-old Corey Fanion, 35 Old Farm Rd., Spencer. When the off-duty offi cer arrived at the home he recognized all three teens as the boys he had seen trying to break into the truc k. Police charged each suspect with attempting to commit a crime (breaking and entering into a motor vehicle). CAR-TED OFF: Two Rhode Island men allegedly involved in a drug trans action while sitting in a car have been busted on heroin and marijuana charges. According to police, Francisco Abreu, 38, 20 Judith St., Providence, R I and V ictor Perez, 47, 80 Judith St., Providence, RI were in a Lincoln Navigator around 5 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 13 when they parked the vehicle on P erry Ave. and started a drug trans action. Police approached the two men and searched the Navigator, finding 215 grams of heroin, two bags of marijuana and $1,023 cash. Abreu and Perez both were charged with trafficking in heroin more than 200 grams. Additionally, Perez was charged with conspiracy to violate controlled substance laws. CONSPIRACY THEORY: Scott Johnson, 45, 100 Old E. Brookfi eld Rd., North Brookfi eld, and Patsy S anta Maria, 70, 25 Blue Bell Rd., Worcester, were arrested W ednesday, Aug. 13 and charged with witness intimidation, attempt to suborn perjury and two counts of conspiracy . Santa Maria, of course, is the owner of Pat’ s Towing & Service Center in W orcester. One of his sons recently pleaded guilty in an ass ault case. The city is moving toward canceling its contracts with Pat’ s. The investigation that led to the arrests is ongoing between the W orcester Police Detective Bureau and Mass achusetts State Police.

Train noise still a headache for residents

Walter Bird Jr.

T

he MBTA has taken control of the rail lines between Worcester and Boston from CSX, but it has not gotten a grip on the noise that has plagued residents in and around the Lake Ave. area. They say their lives have been turned upside down by late-night noise from CSX freight trains – the company has an expanded intermodal terminal in Worcester – stopping at Regency Warehouse on Atlas Street. There have been public meetings, numerous complaints and enough phone calls, texts and emails between residents, city ofďŹ cials and representatives of both MBTA and CSX to ďŹ ll, well, a train car. There have been promises made and, some will say, promises not kept. There was hope that, with the MBTA taking over dispatching duties and ďŹ nal control over the ow of trains on the tracks from CSX, things would get better. Not so, say area residents.

“Around 8:15 at night I got home and the train was out there and I was like, ‘Great, this should be an early night,’” Michele Hicks says of the activity one recent evening on the tracks on the hill behind her Lake Ave. house. “At 11 p.m. I’m still awake because that asshole must have taken his lunch break when he got there. The train is idling and other trains are blowing their horns as they go by. He finally pulled out.” Hicks has been among the most vocal residents about the noise problem in her neighborhood. She has been the proverbial thorn in the side of the MBTA, CSX and city officials. How big a thorn? After 2 a.m. on Aug. 13 Hicks fired off this email to Stephen Jones, director of Transportation and Customer Service at the MBTA: “I just want to thank you for sending the train at 11ish.. I called this on the phone with the Mayor. Can we do it again tonight?! It gives the neighborhood something to talk about. I also like when people don’t keep their promises.” She CC’d Mayor Joe Petty, who has been among those trying to reach a solution. Hicks is not suitably impressed with efforts made to solve the problem – she has traded back-and-forth emails with CSX resident vice president Maurice

O’Connell. In an email earlier this week, Hicks says Petty wanted to have a meeting at his office with Assistant Manager Kathy Johnson and some area residents. “I turned him down because unless Stephen Jones is there it makes no sense. We are not going to accomplish anything and it’s a waste of time.” For its part, CSX says it has tried to resolve the issue. A CSX spokesperson says having a train show up at the same time every night and leave right on time is not always feasible. “CSX works hard to be a good neighbor, to be sensitive to community concerns and to be an asset to the areas it serves,” Melanie Cost, financial and media relations for CSX, says in an email. “CSX has worked diligently with local and state officials and with the community to address concerns about freight service to a customer in the Worcester area. As a result of those efforts, following a public meeting with community members, CSX implemented a series of operational adjustments to improve the consistency of that freight rail service and address community concerns.” There are times, Cost continues, “where regularity is not possible, largely resulting from the continued balancing of

Indeed, there are those who believe Patsy Sr. has been protected over the years, that for whatever reason, despite some of the issues that have arisen with his business, he has been able stay in the city’s good graces. A friendship with former Mayor Ray Mariano has been mentioned when talking about a “guardian angel.” Mariano does not hesitate in answering whether there was ever any partiality shown toward Pat’s Towing. “I have never in any way been involved in assisting Pat’s towing, ever, ever, ever,” says Mariano, who now heads the Worcester Housing Authority. “The city is required to follow certain procedures. At the Housing Authority, for example, we go out of our way to raise as much money as possible every time we put a service out to bid.” Mariano says he is no fan of public bidding and would prefer being able to “call you up and says, ‘I’m not going to take your $125, but I’ll take $150. No? Then I’m going to someone else.’” In fact, some people put the blame squarely at the city’s feet for creating an out-of-control bidding process that forces contractors to raise as much money as they can to pay for contracts. “I kind of put the blame with the city,” continued on page 7 Early says. “I kind of feel like it’s extortion almost. Other people are operating in the city and they’re not paying all this money.” Early has one of the city’s 10 towing contracts, which are good for five years. That contract is for Zone 6 and cost $5,300 annually. Direnzo towing has two contracts, for Zone 7, paying $25,823 the first year and $28,169 each year for the remainder of the contract. The only other contractor that comes close to Pat’s

in terms of towing contracts is Boulevard Garage Inc., which holds the contracts for Zones 1, 2 and 4. The first two zones cost $24,888 a year each. The Zone 4 contract costs $24,700 annually. Back in the day, Early says, there were several towing contractors in the city, which he says helped keep the playing field level. “Now,” he says, “you’re dividing the city zones between six or so towing companies.” That, he says, has made the bidding process not unlike a feeding frenzy among sharks. “For years I’ve watched this thing escalate every year,” Early says of the bidding process. “Guys would be bidding crazy money. There’s got to be a better way, because they put so much pressure on these guys to pay for these contracts. We can’t have a monopoly. My point of view is the city is just looking at the money.” Not that Early is letting Pat’s off the hook. “He’s definitely at fault, but I understand the pressure the guy’s under,” Early says. That said, you can expect Early to be among those bidding on one or more of Pat’s contracts if they go back out to bid. “Yes, I’m interested in bidding,” he says. Count Early among those who believes Patsy Sr. has had someone’s ear for a long time. “Why does he continue to operate?” he repeats when asked. “I think he had friends in high places.” Have a news tip or story idea?

While she is not completely satisďŹ ed at the response she has received from ofďŹ cials, Hicks took some comfort when, on a recent Sunday night, At-Large Councilor Kate Toomey, who lives on Ideal Road off Route 20, was stirred by the constant blasting of train horns. Toomey sent her own email to CSX about the incident. “I actually slept through that one,â€?

Toomey says she was stirred by eight horns that went off in consecutive fashion around 11:45 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 4. The councilor says the issue must be settled, because there will only be more trains coming through the area in the future. “I think it’s several issues besides just the MBTA,â€?

long ago that Carol Claros was treated like the ugly stepchild by the Massachusetts Republican Party. Remember the fiasco surrounding her election as a delegate to last year’s Republican National Convention? She was elected and then told she was being replaced by the state. Now Claros is mounting a campaign for state Representative of the 16th Worcester District, running against Democratic nominee Dan Donahue and the guy working her campaign, Jim Knowlton, says the state’s Republican Party is “actively” supporting her. When you ask around Republican circles, word is the “old guard” is on its way out, replaced be a more inclusive group of folks. Nationally, the Republican Party is trying desperately to shake free of labels that it has waged a war against women and to become more inclusive overall. The state party faces a real test with Claros, who is running in a heavilyDemocratic district, albeit one that tends to lean a bit conservative.

Y? BECAUSE THERE’S NO SPACE:

If your child attends or will be enrolling in Chandler Elementary School this fall, you may want to plan your exercise schedule around it. That’s because fifthand sixth-grade students will be attending classes in leased space at the YMCA on Main Street. Kids will be housed in the Alden Building, which Principal June Eressy describes in an email sent out to parents last week as “a beautiful space, with large, air-conditioned classrooms, a nice, grassy playground, and plenty of parking.” School Committee member Tracy O’Connell Novick says these types of measures will continue to be taken as enrollment in the school system continues to rise. “We’ve been saying we’re running out of space, and now we’re there,” says Novick, adding the city may also have to reopen buildings as elementary schools this year.

THE OTHER ELECTION: There hasn’t

been a whole lot of buzz about this year’s local elections for City Council and School Committee, but expect that to change soon. Once the special state Rep election is done (Sept. 10), attention should start turning to the municipal side of things. The one area where there is a lot of activity is District 5, where incumbent Bill Eddy is trying to fend off a challenge from Gary Rosen. There is a noticeable chill in the air whenever the two attend the same function, such as the recent groundbreaking ceremony at the old Fire Alarm & Telegraph Building on Park Ave. At-Large hopeful Mo Bergman has also been seen and people tell Worcester Magazine that another at-large contender, Peter Kush, whose dad happens to work at a certain daily newspaper in the city, has been knocking on doors. Mesfin Beshir, also running at-large, has been a presence on Facebook.

THE LAST DANCE: Charlotte and Ben Klein have run the Charlotte Klein Dance Centers in Worcester and Westborough for a combined 60-plus years. The couple is ready to call it a day, announcing the recent sale of the two businesses to Worcester’s own Rachel Rubin. A former student, who started when she was 3, Rubin has been with the dance centers pretty much her whole life in some way, shape or form. “I can’t think of a more qualified person to transition the business to and I have every confidence that Rachel will be most successful,” Charlotte Klein says. The Charlotte Klein Dance Center name will remain intact. “I couldn’t be more excited and look forward to adding to the legacy that has been nurtured over the past 60 years,” Rubin says. THE WRITE CHOICE? John Fresolo may have resigned as state Rep of the 16th

Qualifying transactions must post and settle to account during monthly qualification cycle. Transactions may take one or more banking days from the date transaction was made to post and settle to an account.

Worcester District, but he did not go quietly and it appears he has no intention of staying out of the game. There were 29 write-in votes during the Democratic Primary on Sept. 10. Of them, 22 were for John Fresolo, according to city election officials. There is a media report that Fresolo has said he will run next year when the seat expires (he re-signed midterm). And while he has become a punch line in the Statehouse, Fresolo obviously still enjoys some support in the 16th. Is it enough to convince him it’s worth the public bashing he most certainly would take if he runs again?

CLOSE TO HOME: City Councilor Konnie Lukes enjoyed a “stay-cation” recently, spending a day taking an art course at the Worcester Art Museum. It’s something the at-large councilor and former mayor says she has done before.

Turchek tells Worcester Magazine she’s due in November.

ack in 1998 I met a beanpole of a kid named Shawn Paul. Shawn was sent to Harlow Street School to sub for the preschool teacher, in the classroom where I worked as an instructional assistant. I remember thinking that this skinny guy with the biggest, toothiest grin was a natural with little ones, and at 23 he had the potential to be a terrific teacher. I wasn’t wrong. What I didn’t know was that Shawn Paul shouldn’t have reached the ripe old age of 23 at all, given his remarkable circumstances. On October 10 of ‘92, Holy-Namer Shawn, accompanied by his cousin Vinnie, was headed to the Tatnuck Square McDonald’s around 10 p.m., when three teens ambushed the two young men. The attack left Shawn in a coma, thanks to repeated kicks to the head delivered by an assailant outfitted with work boots. The attackers couldn’t have chosen a more vulnerable target: Since 1991, Shawn had been battling primary sclerosing cholangitis – a chronic liver disease. Though he would eventually recover from the head injuries, the beating took a toll on his already compromised and fragile liver; in 1996, he underwent an organ transplant that undoubtedly saved his life. A life-long athlete, Shawn was determined to put his health issues behind him. A mere four months after receiving a new liver he competed in the US Transplant Games. Competing in distance running, sprinting, swimming the backstroke and freestyle, he was the relay team member with the freshest scar. Determination and optimism have ruled the Worcester kid since he awakened from that coma in 1992. In the coming months, both qualities will be needed in abundance to face the latest test of his endurance. “I was climbing some stairs, when I became winded suddenly,” he explains in between bites of fried eggs and toast. Over breakfast at Bagels & Friends on June Street, Shawn describes what has brought him back east from his adopted home in Oregon, where he worked with kids suffering from social/emotional disorders.

“It was March 8, just this spring. When I told the doctor, he ran all kinds of blood work on me. Turns out I had severe anemia. Oh, yeah. And lymphoma.” Shawn pulls from his head the knit cap he’s wearing despite the August heat. It’s hard to tell if he’s lost his hair from chemotherapy, he says, because he’s gone bald anyway. He was 14 pounds underweight when the cancer was discovered, but since returning to Worcester, he’s managed to put back 12 of the lost pounds. “Mom’s feeding me now,” he says. He grins, laughs and runs his hand over his smooth pate before replacing the cap with a quick tug. The latest round of chemo was only the day before our breakfast together, and if a lack of appetite usually follows such an ordeal, you couldn’t prove it by watching him clean his plate. “Anyway, I’m in treatment at UMass. Med Center, and I’ve got a brilliant liver guy – Dr. Graham Barnard - taking care of me. I feel pretty good - I really hope I can sub this fall,” he says. There’s a 20- to 30-percent chance of the cancer disappearing, and the same odds for it growing more aggressively – always a risky thing for a guy with a second-hand liver. But these numbers don’t seem to faze the 38-year-old. Substitute teaching can buckle the knees of the heartiest soul, but not Shawn. In fact, he’s training for the Ogunquit Beach Lobster Dash, a 5-mile race to be held in September on the tidal flats of Maine. He found himself in some hot water with his doctor for doing hot yoga last week, since dehydration can cause liver failure. Go figure. Samples of his Facebook posts reveal his determination to deny cancer a place in his life: “Ran 4! Splits are getting faster. Good day. Hoping for a good blood test.” “2.8 recovery run! Legs starting feeling somewhat normal after a mile.” “If anyone has a juicer and/or a rowing machine/ ergometer they feeling like giving me or selling me cheap, let me know.” “Bancroft Tower – 6.23 miles – 55 minutes. Tried to sprint the hills and the places where there are no sidewalks. A great way to defuse the frustration!” Perhaps one FB post says more than any conversation with this remarkable young man might reveal. Posted on the same day when blood work showed disappointing numbers re his liver enzymes, Shawn Paul shook off the results with these words: “Can’t wait for the race in a month!” He’s outrunning cancer, the same way he’s vaulted over every other obstacle thrown in his way. The outcome of the Lobster Dash doesn’t really matter to those who know and love Shawn Paul. For them, there isn’t a trophy or medal big enough to honor his grit, his good humor or his fierce love of life.

Beautiful Brittany Durgin

C

ontroversy hit Worcester before the city’s art museum could even hang the show that was causing debate. Opening earlier this month and running until November 10, photographer Garry Winogrand’s Women are Beautiful exhibition at Worcester Art Museum is an exhibit of black and white photographs with women as the subject. Critics of the show have chosen to focus on the amount of times a woman’s nude body or breasts are presented as one of several focal points of the images, and because of this, throw around words like “exploiting” and “objectifying.” The Women are Beautiful exhibition should be discussed and should not be missed while in Worcester. There has long been debate over whether photography is art, truth or something between. One thing is true: Every photograph ever taken was done so by exposing a light-sensitive surface, typically film, for a specific amount of time. As photographers, we figure out that the length of an exposure functions as a way to create a sense of movement, stop an action and, in the end simply allows us to tell the story we want to tell. For Winogrand, it’s been said he used a shutter speed of 1/1,000 of a second. In this mere moment of time, he chose to capture the exact instant when his female subjects appeared confident and seemingly unaware of their sexuality. In a Gender Studies class I took while a Communications student at Fitchburg State College, now more prestigiously known as a University, my peers and I spent months debating how and why today’s media — and certainly that of decades ago — objectifies women. Models in string bikinis and other outfits that limit a woman to sitting around looking pretty usually create the idea that their purpose is to be sexually pleasing. Beyond that, downward gazes and suggestive poses are sure signs that these women are aware of their “role.” In many of Winogrand’s images he tells short stories of women being wrapped up in activities pleasing to their own selves – not to the men and other women nearby. It is telling that in Winogrand’s works showing women in erotic positions, they seem to be heedless of their sexuality. In the photograph “Woman Smiling,” the subject is a young, attractive female who sits with her legs spread and arms back, her breasts protruding, and yet, she is shown as being completely unaware of her body language, but instead preoccupied with the conversation she appears to be involved in. It begs the question: If the subject was not consciously posing to entice and Winogrand as the photographer chose the 1/1,000 of a second moment to capture her exuberant personality rather than sexual nature, who is objectifying? Could it be that those who believe the images to be offensive to women are those looking for a fault that was never there in the first place? Even if Winogrand is partly to blame, who are we to see the same eroticism he was and not take partial blame? There is no denying that conflicting feelings arise while viewing the Women are Beautiful exhibition. I don’t believe Winogrand objectifies his female subjects, however, I wonder if his aim was to challenge viewers. Did Winogrand want us to ask ourselves if we, by nature, objectify women? Did he want us to consider our standards for how women should present themselves, even if their intentions are not ones of lewdness? The showing of Winogrand’s work is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to reflect on our own ideas and ways of thinking about women and beauty. AUGUST 22, 2013 • WORCESTERMAGAZINE.COM

: m e ’ e t a h r o Love ’em

Walter Bird Jr.

This is the first of an occassional series

Quick, what do Steve Quist, Holmes Wilson, Billy Breault and Grace Ross have in common? At first glance, they are as disparate personalities as you could find. One is a longtime youth baseball coach with a passion for local politics. Another is a tech geek who also likes politics, but who largely spends his time online railing against corporate greed. One is a Main South activist who rarely meets a controversy he does not like. Another is a former gubernatorial candidate who stands up to the rich and has been accused of being an anti-Semite. The tie that binds them together is their unflinching belief in what they see as right and wrong; their willingness – call it passion – for jumping into the fray and challenging the status quo or the powers that be; and the frankness of their opinions and public expressions. None are afraid of a good, old-fashioned controversy or are about to back down without a fight if they truly believe in their cause. Love ’em or hate ’em, they are truly some of Worcester’s most unique personalities and staunchest activists – each in his or her own right. Worcester Magazine wanted to get to know them a little better – find out what makes them tick, if you will. So say hello to our picks for some of Worcester’s most outspoken and controversial activists.

STEVE QUIST

{ coverstory }

Age: 52 Occupation: Wingate of Worcester If you read the local newspapers or blogs, or if you listen to the radio or watch City Council meetings on TV, you know who “Q” is. He is recognizable enough to be known by a single initial. Heck, not even Prince or Madonna can say that. He is a husband, a father, a Little League baseball and youth basketball coach. Passionate? That would be an understatement. And he is wholly unafraid to take on City Hall. Whether it’s sticking political candidate signs all over his front lawn and house in defiance of city rules or speaking up as just about the only unpaid advocate of a slots parlor when others were calling it the work of the devil. As critical as he can be of city officials, Quist will offer praise when he thinks it’s warranted. If you are compiling a list of the city’s most outspoken people, you would be remiss if Quist is not on your list. What is the first issue/cause you remember fighting for? It had to do with tickets made available to City Council members for a Bruce Springsteen concert. I had waited in line to get those tickets and they were giving out the wristbands. City Council members turned around and at that time had the opportunity to get those tickets available to them versus the general public. I thought that was an issue, I filed a state Ethics complaint. We talked about it on the council floor, it kind of like started the ball rolling. I was going at the fact that for me to get that exact same ticket would have cost over $150 face value from a scalper. Back in the days when I got involved, [former mayor and current radio personality] Jordan Levy was on the council way back in I think ’75. I was still a kid, but still like always involved. So back in those days, it started a little brouhaha. Jordan Levy was on the PILOT program and I immediately latched on to that, looking at fair, balanced way of everyone paying their fair share to the city. Have you always been one to speak your mind? Yup, got into a lot of trouble for it, growing up all the way through the Catholic schools. That’s the way I am. I had a natural ability [laughs]. It’s not like anyone else within my family [was as outspoken], we’re all different. What about Worcester are you most passionate? The city itself and the people. Period. I’m a lifelong guy, never left. Just love the whole city. Worcester is not a city, it’ s a small town and everybody knows your name. This ain’t the “Cheers” bar commercial, but it’s really true. It’s the people, it’s what makes up the community. We’re a melting pot. There can be harmony in the city. So when there are causes I step up. Do you go into a particular issue knowing you’re going to draw criticism? Yeah, there’s no question. I guess an example of that would be the slots parlor issue. There was a great group that was No Slots. I felt it was a one-side conversation. Everyone was against something and no one had seen the plan. I’d like to have at least heard the details. Greg Carlin and Neil Bluhm, these are guys that are world-renowned. The very least we could do is hear them out, vet the project they’re presenting. The final analysis is the city manager vetted it, it wasn’t worth the city’s effort. I don’t mind that, but I wanted to hear both sides. I don’t know how one can be against something if they don’t even know what it is. Does the criticism ever bother you? I could care less. When they slash my tires, which has happened, when my mirrors get broken, when the eggs hit the house at times … it’s just, it’s part of doing business. It just happens if you take on an issue. Do you ever second-guess yourself? No, I am who I am. I put my heart and my passion, it’s on my sleeve. I see it the way I see it. You can agree, you can disagree. Some people want to make it more a personality issue. I guess we can all be maybe guilty sometimes of that. If I make a mistake, I’d be the first one to stand up and say, “Hey, I’m wrong on this” and that’s happened. I’ve been on talk radio and I’ve made an error. I’ll call and correct myself. Who is your arch enemy? My arch enemy? I have people, arch enemies, whoever is out there. It doesn’t bother me. I can be just as crass as the next guy. What has you worked up at the moment? With work and stuff I cut back on baseball this year. Try to take a little time off after 32 years. Going to be working on some City Council campaign, some School Committee campaigns. Those are my focal points, but really the main issue that’s going to drive me this summer going into the fall is going to be the crime watches up on Union Hill. For the near future, it’s going to be that right there. Are you misunderstood? Anyone can say what they want. I feel pretty confident in what I say. I could care less what anybody else thinks. It’s never bothered me. AUGUST 22, 2013 • WORCESTERMAGAZINE.COM

{ coverstory } HOLMES WILSON

Age: 33 Occupation: Fight for the Future A Holy Cross grad who married a Brazilian, Wilson’s crusade of passion is done largely on the Internet, where he spends his time fighting against corporate control. He was actively involved in fighting against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and taking part in what is seen as the largest online protest in the history of the Internet. He went to Holy Cross after dropping out of the University of Chicago. In between, he worked the night shift as a security guard at the old lumber yard on Stafford Street where, ironically enough, corporate stores Walgreens and CVS ended up setting up shop. As a kid, Wilson was mostly into technology, before being turned onto politics by listening to tapes of Noam Chomsky that a Holy Cross student played on the school’s radio station, WCHC. Wilson has made it his life’s work to ensure that the technology that can be so important and helpful in every day life does not end up taking away basic rights. That’s where Fight for the Future comes into play, and where Wilson does most of his activism. What is the first issue/cause you remember fighting for? The first local issue I worked on was organizing a protest about gated communities here in Worcester. It was a kind of funny protest. It was a growing thing in the ’90s, with everyone paranoid about crime and watching the local news. There was this growing almost hysteria about urban crime toward these lock-down communities and in many parts of the country it was becoming a really big thing, where public space was becoming sort of walled off. I found out there was one in Worcester. I was a bit dismayed to find out there was one in Worcester. A friend and I organized a protest at the gated community and were able to get really great coverage, both here in Worcester … and also an article in The Globe that really fought the issue. I think it’s still there, off of Sunderland Road. I’m very glad that didn’t become a pattern here in Worcester, and for the most part people are able to walk around the neighborhoods. One of the first campaigns I did that went really well was, I was part of this project called Downhill Battle. It was about music file sharing and the music business and how it was transitioning to the Internet. Have you always been one to speak your mind? Yeah, but also I was encouraged to figure out where I stood and the reasons for what I was saying. What about Worcester are you most passionate? I really do believe Worcester is a place unlike any other. The beautiful neighborhoods. This city is a collection of old, beautiful, tranquil places. Streets lined with trees, great yards, crazy old houses in various states of disrepair. That’s really special. I would never want to see that go. It always hurts when I see something old get knocked down and replaced by one of these awful CVS things, big box stores. I also think Worcester, another amazing thing is it’s a city of immigrants. It’s something I’m passionate about. There was a period in the ’60s and ’70s where Worcester was very white and when that changed in the ’80s, it seemed to provoke a backlash. One of the things I’m passionate about is insisting the Worcester I grew up in and that I love is a city of immigrants and a city of all races and all languages. Do you go into a particular issue knowing you’re going to draw criticism? Yeah, I mean you don’t, well, I think when it comes to speaking about issues I’m not always trying to be provocative. I have a lot of ideas. If you’re going to put a lot of work into saying things, you better make it something people need to hear, otherwise, what’s the point? Usually, the projects I work on try to bring a unique perspective and a new way to talk about something. So controversy’s a very good thing. Being able to say things provocatively … it inspires people and at the very least gets people talking about what you’re doing. Does the criticism ever bother you? Usually, I mean, when people in power criticize you, in response to work you’ve done, they usually do it in really lame ways, so that’s great and I love that kind of criticism. A lot of the time, sometimes you know they even know you’re right and they’re saying what they have to say. The kind of criticism that gets me down sometimes is when people are, I don’t know, when people kind of get so cynical and so critical that they almost get paralyzed. It’s like nothing can be right. Do you ever second-guess yourself? I mean, you know, you don’t want to, you never want to alienate potential allies. I don’t have any recent memory of doing that and feeling bad about it, but if I did that I would feel bad about it. I think some people are afraid sometimes to stick their necks out because of backlash. That’s not going to happen. Who is your arch enemy? Right now? Our arch enemy are the government agencies who want to spy on people, who want to use the Internet to spy on people who are under no suspicion of any kind. What has you worked up at the moment? That one. Are you misunderstood? It happens on the Internet a lot, especially when you’re a small organization. As soon as you have a website, people think there’s a really elaborate institution behind it. You want to say, “Look guys there’s five of us here and we’re busy.” Sometimes you want to project that image, but also it’s often misunderstood.

BILLY BREAULT

Age: 67 Occupation: Retired Many people in Worcester have a definite opinion about Breault – often just through soundbites or some of their run-ins with him. What they may not know is what might have been a defining moment in his life when, as a 13- or 14-year-old visiting his grandparents in Rhode Island, they were held captive by an armed intruder. His grandfather ended up shooting the man in the face to save his family. The incident has come back to him over time, especially as an adult as he saw more and more people in dangerous situations. While Breault is well known around Worcester, the rest of the state and nation got its taste when the body of suspected Boston Marathon terrorist Tamerlan Tsarnaev ended up at the Graham Putney & Mahoney Funeral Parlor in Breault’s beloved Main South neighborhood. Although he counted funeral home director Peter Stefan among his friends, Breault did not hesitate to take a stand. He issued a public and televised plea for donations to help ship Tsarnaev’s body back to Russia – and says he received several offers. Ultimately, the body was prepared for burial and transferred elsewhere. He has fought on several other issues, including the distribution of narcan, marijuana dispensaries and railroad track safety. What is the first issue/cause you remember fighting for? What started it, was actually my father back in the late ’80s, we were living on Hathaway Street. The rooming house issue. Abandoned cars and the rooming houses there. We had cars towed away, the rooming houses were out of control. This was around ’88. We got three closed down on our street and five on King Street. That was the most dangerous place. We kept pounding away at the License Commission. One we rehabbed. That kind of launched us and it was hard, it was labor-intensive. They wouldn’t respond, the city. Got into the smoke detector ordinances, strengthening that. Then we had a rooming house fire on Green Street. Three people got killed there. So we were doing two things: smoke detectors and we went to the council and asked for a local option sprinkler ordinance. Have you always been one to speak your mind? More so in the last 15-20 years. Because of government, the bullshit. You know, it’s bullshit. They’ll say one thing off the record and the truth, particularly the last, probably even longer because we got the run-around from Day 1. What about Worcester are you most passionate? I want to see it thrive. I’ve been on this industrial park committee (South Worcester Industrial Park), it’s embarrassing. If you know where I live, it’s wedged right in near Janice Nadeau Way. She was like a spark. Anyway, 1994, (former City Manager Tom) Hoover appointed six of us. The only thing we got there is empty lots. I’d like to see it thrive economically. It’s a diverse city, I’d like to see it mesh more, that kind of thing. I want to see a good solid downtown. Do you go into a particular issue knowing you’re going to draw criticism? Sometimes, like anything we do with marijuana. It’s always controversial. Do we stay away from an issue because of that? No. Controversial is in the eyes of the beholder. I think a lot of things don’t come up with people across the city because they fear it’s going to be controversial. I don’t worry about it. Does the criticism ever bother you? It depends who it’s coming from. There isn’t as much, over the years you’d be surprised how people, even that don’t agree with you, if you get them out of their roles of what they do, you’re very compatible. You see that with AIDS Project Worcester. We try to work together. We beat needle exchange three times. You get to know people and if it’s over a period of time you do maybe breakfast, dinner. It’s different. Do you ever second-guess yourself? No. Once you speak out, there’s a time to, I mean are you going to come out seven days in a row? Maybe just in a time-frame say something, let it calm down and then blast it again. Who is your arch enemy? I don’t know. I look at you got a position, we got a position on this issue. Some of the people we used to fight with I’m friendly with now, very friendly. Property owners. Rooming house owners. I don’t see it as arch enemies. Difference of opinion. Jim Cuddy. (Executive Director South Middlesex Opportunity Council) He’s slick. I don’t like what he does, but I don’t blame him for doing what he does. I used to have major disagreements with Deb Ekstrom (president and CEO of Community Healthlink). She’ll say one thing, do another. Is it an arch-enemy? No, just a longtime disagreement on principle. And Cuddy’s the same way. What has you worked up at the moment? Rail Safety. We’ve got Price Chopper to probably be a corporate sponsor. The narcan issue. Are you misunderstood? I know when we got involved with the needle exchange people were extremely passionate on both sides. I think when it came down to the Council vote on it, we had the people, not the agencies, but the people.

GRACE ROSS

Age: 52 Occupation: Mass Alliance Against Predatory Lending (MAAPL) She has been accused of being an anti-Semite. She has been called a “fat lesbian,” a name she says may come as a surprise to the ex-radio host who said it, but not to most everyone else. You could accuse her of being an activist and you would be right on. Ross is an activist in just about every sense of the word. Since moving here in 2005 – she lived most of her adult life in Somerville – Ross has immersed herself in the political scene and has fought for causes she believes in. She is a two-time gubernatorial candidate and, in 2006 just one year after moving to Worcester, she ran for City Council. Maybe it’s the New Yorker in her – Ross grew up in the Big Apple – but Ross finds herself drawn to championing causes for the people. She loves Worcester; as she puts it, “What’s not to love?” Oh, and for the record she points out she is not an anti-Semite. “A chunk” of her extended family is Jewish, Ross says. Her driving force is the idea of a “beloved community,” that there is a fundamental sense that everyone loves and has a responsibility for each other. That spirit is evident in her fight to help families facing foreclosure on their homes – a battle that suffered a recent setback when City Manager Mike O’Brien failed to give it his endorsement. What is the first issue/cause you remember fighting for? My mother engaged us in recycling before everybody had heard what recycling was, so I suppose that would qualify. Even as a kid, if there was a kid being ganged up on by a bunch of bullies I was likely to be found trying to put my body in the way or rescue the kid, or in some cases going to an adult, although adults were kind of a mixed bag back then. I would consider those kind of activist-type things. I was very scared as a kid by the idea of nuclear explosions. I remember tracking sort of nuclear power stuff. Have you always been one to speak your mind? Yes. My mother used to say, “often wrong, but never in doubt.” Now I’m often in doubt, but I speak anyway. If you always wait to know if you’re right, then you’re too late most of the time. I think my sense of things is that you go into things openminded and with your best intentions at all times, but you still have to act. You can’t not act. Silence is a sin and non-action becomes agreement with whatever’s happening. What about Worcester are you most passionate? I love this city. When I ran for City Council I referred to the city as the sleeping giant and I really think it is. Worcester hasn’t come into its own. Even when you listen to City Council conversations, they’re often conversations in comparison to Boston, in comparison to Providence. It always surprises me. Here’s this huge, rich resource … instead of having a coming together that would draw on these phenomenal resources, from so many parts of the world, we’re dividing each other most of the time. Do you go into a particular issue knowing you’re going to draw criticism? I think a lot of things I do are not controversial. You think about the foreclosure issue and when we started, it was all about there was a few bad people who got a few bad loans, to now where there are huge swaths of the population that thinks, partially at least, that the banks have too much power and do whatever they want. Now everybody knows somebody who has been in foreclosure. When I got into the issue, was it controversial? I suppose. Does the criticism ever bother you? Yes. I think when it’s mean. So the thing about being called antiSemitic, very much so. First of all, being told I’m anti the folks of my whole family. A bunch of folks decided to trot that out, they were not Jewish, but they were using it for political purposes. I think the thing that saddened me is it became another excuse for dividing our city. I don’t mind being the focus of attention and even conflict when it’s real, but when it’s for political reasons that then harm populations I find that reprehensible. Do you ever second-guess yourself? I’m not going to answer the question that way. I absolutely have times where I’ve thought somebody needs to step out on this, there’s something that needs … often, being vocal is about bringing attention to something. I have definitely had times where I’m scared, where it feels like getting out there, there’s going to be anger thrown at me and I don’t particularly like that. I don’t like people being angry with me. I have my moments of sort of having to come to terms before I take an action. Who is your arch-enemy? I find the politics of hate truly disturbing and reprehensible. I don’t think that’s helpful. We are supposed to live in a democracy. If I understand that I’m in a community with you then ultimately I have to acknowledge that there’s a reason why you think what you think. In 90 percent of the cases, there’s a reason why we disagree. I think part of our problem is that we’ve decided that politics are about identifying an enemy, and that’s not what politics is about. What has you worked up at the moment? The city manager sitting on a (foreclosure mediation) ordinance that we have close to unanimous votes on the City Council, yeah I have a problem with that. It is dramatic that we had enough votes in November, the vote didn’t come back until April. Here we have an ordinance where, foreclosures were down, but on average it would effect 100 households per month. (At a council meeting) we stood there in commitment to a good-faith process of building a team to accomplish a goal for the people of Worcester, we asked the vote to be held so the city manager could get on the same page with us. What has he done four months later? He still has not brought the ordinance back. I don’t know what could be a more profound slap in the face to the entire city of Worcester … than to impact our entire city economy and not meet the people in a good faith effort to work together. Staggering. Absolutely staggering. Are you misunderstood? Of course, everybody feels misunderstood I assume. I’m sure I’m not unique in that. If I am I’d be very surprised.

A Midnight Sprint through downtown

PHOTO/STEVEN KING

night day &

Brittany Durgin

Will Darling has been riding bicycles pretty much his whole life. He doesn’t compete, he just has fun riding around. Fun, that’s what this Saturday’s Midnight Sprint event is based on. Telling from the name, the bike race starts at midnight and it’s a quick five miles through downtown. Humble in its approach, the event’s intention is simply to get people out riding, having a good time. Darling, 25, moved to Worcester from New York – no, not the fixie-infested Brooklyn or Williamstown, but a smaller community about an hour north of the city – to take a job at Alternatives in 2009. Darling still works at Alternatives as a counselor and says he likes living in the city. “I love Worcester. It’s definitely got it’s areas that are rough around the edges,” but, Darling says, “there are a lot of really cool people in Worcester doing really cool things, you just have to look for it.” Darling is pretty cool himself and his Midnight Sprint is something cyclists will need to – and should – look out for. After following bicycle blogs for years, watching New York City, Los Angeles and cities in Texas host ally cat and bike messenger races and something known as the Wolf Pack Hustle (a midnight bicycle drag race), Darling himself got the itch. “I want to get something going in Worcester. I want to have community rides and more fun events to get people out on bicycles more often.” The race on Saturday starts at midnight at the old Auditorium in Lincoln Square. Riders will follow Main Street to Clark University, where someone will be signing off on every person who makes it to the half-way point. No cheating allowed. After turning around at the 2.5 mile marker at Clark, riders will make their way back up Main Street and finish the race at Ralph’s Diner on Grove Street. “I didn’t want anything crazy for a race,” says Darling. Keeping the positive, inclusive spirit alive, Darling says there will be a crew of bmx riders, regular everyday riders and maybe even a few competitive, spandex-wearing competitive cyclists. “It’s going to be all over the place and I think that’s awesome to have a really varied group of riders.” Being the first event organized by Darling, he hopes to have a group of 20-30 riders. The top overall finisher, top bmx rider and one cyclist from a category TBA will be awarded prizes. The race is all ages, but for those 21 and older, riders and anyone else involved will celebrate over drinks at an unofficial after party at Ralph’s. A $5 suggested donation from each rider is requested with all proceeds going to Worcester’s Earn-A-Bike. In the words of Darling, Earn-A-Bike’s service to the community “is an awesome thing.” So, like the nature of the race, he adds, “why not keep promoting bikes and give [money raised] to the community?” Why race at the strike of midnight? “Main street is usually empty at midnight,” says Darling, and admits, “I love riding down Main Street at night, it’s got a good vibe going on.” Find out what racing down Main Street at midnight is all about. Meet Darling and other riders in front of the old Auditorium in Lincoln Square this Saturday, August 24 between 11:30-11:50 p.m. Sign-up the night of the event or in advance by emailing SDCC.Worcester@gmail.com.

The images in Cynthia Woehrle’s paintings in “Cloud Cover,” her upcoming show at the Foster Gallery in Worcester, seem to form and dissolve simultaneously. Trees, skylines and vistas start to come into focus but never quite do. Nothing holds still.

“I don’t want my work to feel too grounded,” says Woehrle, who studied at the Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, where George Gabin was her mentor. She describes her work as influenced by such artists as George Inness and the Tonalist Movement, which emerged in America in the late 19th century before being largely superseded by the great wave of Impressionism from Europe. Woehrle has worked for ArtsWorcester and has had several previous shows, including, most recently, at the Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, Mass. in 2012. The 18 paintings in the show, most of which are for sale, date from 20 years ago to the present, including five new ones created for the show. According to Woehrle, her style has “lightened up over the years.” There is “an aesthetic I’m working towards,” she says. Whereas her earlier work was “thicker and more blended,” her newer pieces are more layered. “You can see through to what’s below.” So what’s below? What’s beneath the shifting images? Woehrle identifies three main themes: Moons, Branches & Trees, and Storms & Skies. “I see something in the natural world and feel inspired,” she says of her

creative process. Painting, on average, a couple of times a week, she remembers “emotional feelings” associated with “lived moments,” observations she has made of her environment, the ways her “emotional reactions get caught up in little changes.” She seeks to convey an “ephemeral feeling,” a sense of something “spiritual, floating.” She describes working in a realm of “soft changes, tonal values I engage with and try to pull into my work.” Woehrle treats the shaping and framing of her pieces as more than just incidental matters, sometimes having designers create her frames and painting surfaces according to specifications she lays out, at other times using found objects as her canvases. She painted one of the earlier pieces in the show, Atmosphere III, on a table leaf she found. The resulting architectures—arcs, triangles, etc.—tend to give the viewer less a sense of viewing something contained within a frame than of a dynamic outside world seen through a

unique window. “It’s fantastic,” says Matt Foster, the proprietor of The Foster Gallery, of Woehrle’s work. Foster, an artist with a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art, opened The Foster Gallery in 2009, after living in Worcester for about 15 or 20 years, when “an opportunity presented itself and I jumped.” The gallery has no set hours of operation; it opens only by request. It specializes in painting, drawing and print works with a focus on exploring a variety of ways to interact with the community. Foster has broadcast an exhibition opening on the Internet and is planning an interactive milieu for Woehrle’s show, in which questions about the works will appear on viewers’ smartphones, with their responses and feedback broadcast on the net. In addition, Woehrle has been discussing different aspects of her work in a series of weekly podcasts on The Foster Gallery website. Foster has also created ArtsyFartsypodcast. continued on page 18

Rediscovering the past at Clinton’s Museum of Russian Icons

Cade Overton

From now through October 5, the Museum of Russian Icons in Clinton will have a special exhibition on view in the West Gallery. Though the museum’s collection does not in any way have an emphasis on the contemporary, Rediscovering the Past offers a body of one man’s personal work that, among other things, bridges the gap between the traditional and the experimental and brings Russian icons into the world of contemporary art and onto the North American continent.

Artist Alexander “Sasha� Gassel works at the museum as a part-time conservationist, doing restoration work on the museum’s collection, and the show’s

curator, Laura Garrity-Arquitt, describes him as “the ďŹ nest icon conservationist outside of Russia.â€? Gassel was born in Soviet Moscow in 1947 and received his MFA from the Moscow Institute of Arts and Graphics in 1970. Due to the nowinfamous tightness of the Soviet era, his exposure to many stylistic trends, including European ones, was limited, and as a nonconformist producing modern religious works, he was unable to show his work in the USSR. He emigrated to the United States in 1980, bringing with him the beginnings of his own personal translation of Russian icons created in a style that the museum describes as “unique – yet typically Russian.â€? When the museum brought him on, they sprang for a

conservation lab built to his speciďŹ cations, and within about a year he revealed some of his personal works that had been a few years in the making. CADE OVERTON

The line between his pieces created in Russia and some of his work produced in America is a clear one. “My ďŹ rst

impression was shock,â€? says Gassel of his early experiences here. “My ďŹ rst understanding of America was not deep.â€? Some of his work reects on this period of time and shows this sense of overwhelming confusion. Jagged cityscapes dominated by distinctly American symbols speak to this culture shock, like “Fast Food,â€? a piece that could be described as a landscape of franchise logos that is intentionally difďŹ cult to visually comprehend at ďŹ rst. He describes these scenes as “lost cities.â€? Despite the angular way Gassel interprets the tangled confusion of American culture, much of his work is solidly grounded in Russian icons and religious imagery, though he is hesitant to describe the pieces as religious. “It’s a mixture of all cultures,â€? he says. Gassel incorporates his thoughts about our history, our culture, old fairytales and legends, especially European ones. His varied interests make for a compelling mix of material on the walls. Gassel uses

In addition to the larger-scale pieces in the main gallery, there is also a space for smaller pieces, where Woehrle will have about 20 small drawings on display. “I’m glad to be able to present work for free to the local community,â€? says Woehrle. “We’re very happy to have her,â€? says Foster. “There’s a subtlety to her painting that you don’t always see these days.â€? An innovative gallery developing cutting edge modes of presentation and an artist training her eye on eeting

a long wall hang several scenes depicting an angelic female subject. The vivid layers of colors and shapes are notably absent, and a softer palette emphasizes nautical themes and celebrates the goddess-like nature of the subject. Other pieces on the same wall show colors and forms one might associate with the far East. The Museum of Russian Icons showcases a speciďŹ c culture’s religious art, mainly depictions of Mary and Christ, each with its own idiosyncrasies. Gassel’s work offers a different set of idiosyncrasies, but his alternate and evolving narrative is not necessarily out of place in the museum. It offers an interesting translation of Gassel’s own personal experience with icons, culture, traditional practice and experimental freedom. “You won’t see any of the bright, harsh art [in the collection],â€? says museum owner Gordon Lankton, “This is very different.

These aren’t just paintings, however, as many of them feature intricately-sculpted elements. The edges of the panels take on their own form, reecting the content and building an animated structure around a urry of color and characters. “Crusadeâ€? shows rhythmic rows of orders of knights lined up against a castle-like backdrop and the columns of the structure stand out in relief against the image. The piece is a perfect example of what Gassel refers to as “music in lines,â€? a visual rhythm that is slightly below the surface of the work. The sequencing of the show eschews linear chronology in favor of a more interpretive arrangement, allowing some of Gassel’s more traditional-style work to stand alongside some of his experimental, avant-garde efforts. “Vladimir Mother Of Godâ€? takes its title, content and form directly from an icon of the same name, circa 1650 (also in the museum’s collection).

The iCon of Apple Jim Keogh

Who was Steve Jobs?

Was he a modern-day Einstein, a tortured genius whose mind soared at 30,000 feet while the rest of humanity was digging ditches? Was he the Messiah, sent to, as he so humbly notes, “put a dent in the universe?” Or was he just some asshole who liked to yell at people when they questioned his “vision?” “Jobs” would have us believe the Apple cofounder was all of those things packaged up in a guy who bore a passing resemblance to Ashton Kutcher. Apparently, that likeness — maybe it’s something in the eyebrows? — got Ashton the, er, job, combined with his ability to coax a single tear to roll down his cheek at moments of great emotional distress. (Did Steve Jobs really weep this much?) Assuming that Kutcher studied his subject closely and is mimicking him as best he can, you also may be surprised to learn that his arms-at-his sides lope and slouched posture placed Jobs somewhere in the middle of the evolutionary chart. But I’m not here to bury Ashton Kutcher. His performance is incidental to the central question of why this film was made. Jobs died on October 5, 2011, and Walter Isaacson’s exhaustive biography of him was released weeks later. Reams of stories about the origins of Apple have been published, TV documentaries broadcast, and Jobs’ standing as one of the most significant creative entrepreneurs of the 20th/21st century remains unassailable. With all this very recent information a keystroke away, there is little value in a straight recounting of Jobs’ professional rise, fall and rise again. At this point, it’s a movie’s obligation to have a point of view, tell us something we didn’t know, reveal Steve Jobs’ Rosebud. “The Social Network” was built around the premise of Mark Zuckerberg seeking revenge on every pretty girl, Harvard jock, and dense college administrator who dismissed him as a troubled tech-geek. In “Jobs,” Steve finds his inspiration by dropping acid and striking tai chi poses in a meadow. Really?

“Jobs” moves from epiphany to epiphany without giving us any sense of the grinding work that underpinned his success. The film focuses on Apple’s early days, with Jobs, a college dropout, teaming with pal Steve Wozniak (played with rumpled humor and gentleness by Josh Gad) to launch the upstart computer company in Jobs’ parents’ garage. We follow Jobs through his rise at Apple and his eventual ouster by a board upset with his reckless spending and paralysis-byperfection stalling of new product lines. Jobs, of course, returned triumphantly, and, if you’ve ever regretted that you weren’t a fly on the wall during the birth of the iMac, well, here you go. Wozniak has criticized the movie as a glorification of Jobs that only scratches the surface of his flaws, which are depicted as part and parcel of his mystique. Yeah, the guy was a raging egotist, narcissist, back-stabber, and disloyal to a fault, but he’s responsible for the iPod, dammit. Kutcher’s twinkly little grin suggests that all is forgiven. Tell that to the band of brothers who toiled with him in the garage and who were later denied shares in Apple when the company went public. Perhaps the most baffling thing about “Jobs” is that we never learn the answer to this fundamental question: What exactly did Steve Jobs do? I’m not being facetious. He was a master innovator, but how so? Here, he simply spouts platitudes and harangues employees; in the scenes set in the late ’70s he makes frantic sales pitches on an avocado-colored phone. We see the huckster and tireless self-promoter and don’t recognize the brilliant leader of a technological revolution. Aaron Sorkin (“The Social Network”) has his own Jobs movie in the works. I think we can assume it will be wildly inaccurate but incredibly entertaining. Even Steve Jobs would appreciate the idea of someone putting a real dent in his legend.

The Big Easy meets classic American

nearly 20 years. Despite the change in name and menu, the Canal Restaurant & Bar remains a delicious casual dining spot in Worcester.

Michael Brazell

It was almost a year ago that I visited 65 Water St. to pen a review of the recently opened Gumbo, a Cajunthemed restaurant near the heart of Worcester’s Green Island. With some dismay months later, I returned to the restaurant to find it closed, but was pleased to hear of its reopening and rebranding as the Canal Restaurant & Bar. I was eager to revisit the restaurant, especially after news that it had also recently been sold to former Nancy Chang’s General Manager Elaine Courtney, a Worcester restauranteur of

Visiting on a Saturday night, Lillian and I walked down into the restaurant that had now become familiar to us. Despite adding a handful of outdoor tables right on Green Street, the Canal still sports the familiar sub-level bar and dining area. Walking down the four or five steps, diners are greeted by a lively and large bar on the right side of the restaurant, with the main dining room and ancillary bar situated towards the left. With small windows and an iconic stone-walled dining room, the underground dining room feels like a clandestine speakeasy, although the faux fireplace and fleur de lis stained glass window (a remnant of the prior branding) disrupt the unique atmosphere. Nevertheless, Lillian and I were greeted at the door by the owner and sat immediately in one of the dozen-or-so tables in the dining room. With a full dining room and only one or two servers covering that evening, service was on the slow side. Lillian and I began our meals with a

exhausted all their lobster. Nevertheless, this Lousiana-style mac & cheese was delicious, served with ripe cherry tomatoes that burst with flavor, a blend of cheeses, and a terrific twist – thick hunks of tasso ham, a Cajun-style spicy ham cut from the shoulder butt of the pig, giving it a uniquely savory flavor that you would never find in traditional pork dishes. Topped with a crunchy, cheddar cracker crust, the entree was as delicious as it was filling. Prices at Canal are reasonable, with most items hanging around the mid-teens, and service was attentive but slow – to be expected on a busy Saturday night. Nightly drink specials caught our attention on the drink menu, but beer lovers will be disappointed by a paltry list of crafts (though New Orlean’s own Abita Brewing Company remains), especially with such a uniquely arranged bar. Despite a turbulent year, the Canal Restaurant & Bar remains a great, casual dining alternative in Worcester, with terrific seafood and much of the same Cajun-style cuisine that Worcester diners had grown to love.

recommendation from a friend, starting with the Gumbo Sliders ($6), made of ground beef, tasso ham, and andoullie sausage served on buttered buns, with a tangy and sweet aioli remoulade, topped with caramelized onions. Lillian was initially unsure of the order but was shocked (as I was) at how delicious the sliders were, as the spicy andouille sausage perfectly blended with the creamy aioli dressing. Despite changing its name, The Canal Restaurant & Bar still offers a number of items that were on the Gumbo menu including the locally famous House Jambalaya, an entire menu of spicy blackened grill entrees and the best oyster po’boy you can get in Worcester. Lillian opted for the crab cakes as an entree, which arrived as two lightly battered Maryland-style cakes. These two perfectly pan-fried crab cakes were served over a bed of field greens alongside a dish of lemon-dill aioli dressing reminiscent of a typical tartar sauce. Despite being desperately tempted by the delicious house jambalaya, I opted for the lobster Mac & Cheese, but was disappointed to find that on that evening they had

Cheese plates and pairings

Sara Jane Nelson

According to the neon sign, illuminated in a front window, Vincent’s Bar “is it.” With a small menu serving predominately meatballs and a very rugged atmosphere it’s clear Vincent’s is not trying too hard to outdo anyone. But, in their own way, it does. By keeping it simple and well done their selections are thoroughly satisfying.

I had the cheese plate without sausage. It’s refreshingly unassuming with a sleeve of saltine crackers, white cheddar, sliced and raw white onions and a homemade mustard. Be warned the mustard is fantastic but potent, the intensity will make your eyes water if you indulge too much. I compiled all the ingredients together to make a pairing of cheddar, onion and a very small dab of mustard and it was perfectly enjoyable. The cheese is sharp but not too sharp; the onions are freshly cut and add just enough zing to complement the spicy mustard. The simplicity reminds me of an after-school snack from when I was younger, but that is what I like about it. The cheese plate without sausage will only cost you $6 and with sausage it’s $8. There is a ton of cheese, onions and crackers, making it a great value. I might also recommend splitting it as I’ve never been able to finish one on my own.

The Bottle Binge

A

Al Vuona

s wine lovers we all look forward to the acquisition of new wines. Like children at Christmas, we wait with bated breath for the opportunity to acquire that very special bottle or vintage. Over time they become part of a collection, the wine collection that is. At first it’s just a few bottles and before you know it you have hundreds, perhaps thousands. Private collections with upwards of 10,000 bottles are not just myth, they truly exist. Take Connecticut businessman Park B. Smith, whose private collection is said to be close to 90,000 bottles. That sounds a little surreal don’t you think? What then compels an individual to amass such a collection? First, much of it has to do with great wealth. If you have more money than you can count, then purchasing a warehouse full of wine is no problem. But even the wealthiest of people are on borrowed time. Let’s face it, with 90,000 bottles you may not be around long enough to uncork that last claret. Can you imagine Donald Trump while on his deathbed leaving behind thousands of bottles of wine? Those last words to his trusted wine steward would probably be, “You’re fired!” Royals usually have immense wealth along with fabulous wine collections. After all, if you’re a king or queen and host extravagant dinner parties for heads of state you need a lot of great wine. Yet, even in those situations, thousands of bottles seem a little over the top. Others have chosen a more ominous way to acquire a large wine collection. In 2004 a Swedish restaurant had 600 bottles of first growth Bordeaux stolen from its cellars. It was determined that this was the work of professionals. Thankfully the restaurant owner had insurance to cover the loss. Of course there is a major downside to this approach. If you’re caught and convicted you OF THE WEEK can’t bring the wine along with you to prison. Beringer 2011 For someone like myself who has neither the storage Private Reserve capacity, nor financial means, a large collection is probably Chardonnay, not in the cards. Perhaps it’s just as well, after all, the last California $40 thing I need is to go on a binge, a bottle binge that is.

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! A UGU S T 2 2 , 2 0 13 • W OR C E S T E R M A G .C OM

BURNCOAT/GREENDALE 1 BD, laundry, appl’s & off st. park. From $675.00. 508-852-6001

Seems like yesterday that I was talking about the beginning of summer, but with the cooler temps in the morning and evening it appears that summer is surely coming to an end. Cookouts and get-togethers have gone a little bit by the wayside while friends and family have taken vacations and with the kids going back to school it is a clear indication that fall is approaching. Summer into fall has always given me a real sense of community. It might come from all those years of heading back to school again after summer and reconnecting with friends. After being here at Central Mass Classifieds for several years, I have felt as if we have a community right in this section. I have had the pleasure to have gotten to know our advertisers and readers. They have shared with me some wonderful personal stories, sharing with me tears of joy and some tears of sadness, but mostly stories of happiness. My days are always made brighter by an unexpected gesture of kindness from one of them. A sense of community can be right next door or several miles away with a phone call. I appreciate everyone who uses this section to find or advertise a service, enjoy our puzzles, buy a much needed item, rent an apartment or to buy a new home. Thank you for being a part of our community! Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Keep It Classy!

Kathryn Krock

Talk about a strong businesswoman. At 34, Kathryn Krock, more informally known as Katie, is the head-honcho at Worcester’s KJ Baaron’s. As owner of the beer, wine, liquor, cigar and speciality foods store for nine years, Krock knows the ins and outs of the beverage industry. New products are what keep the job most interesting for Krock, however, gauging public interest for those new items and trends not foreseen is the most difficult aspect. Krock’s official title is Commercial Real Estate Property Manager. In her personal life, she calls Worcester home and says wine is her drink of choice, enjoying more whites in the summer months. With the fall season just weeks away, Worcester Magazine spent some time with Krock to find out which drinks are most popular in Worcester during the cooler months and what are some of this season’s new products. While we had her attention, we also asked about the recent move to West Boylston Street from Washington Square and what is different at the new location. What does KJ Baaron’s sell the most of? Even though we are a full-service liquor store and maintain a large variety of spirits, beer and cigars, our comprehensive wine selection makes the wine the best performing category.

What is the most popular season for seasonal drinks? Traditionally fall, as it brings an array of seasonal beverages.

What has historically been the most popular fall beer, wine and liquor at KJ Baaron’s? For beer, seasonal brews like Southern Tier Pumpkin, Shipyard Pumpkin, Sam Adams Oktoberfest/ Pumpkin, German Oktoberfest, barley wines. For wine, full-bodied red wines such as cabernet sauvignon,

porters can be used to add flavor to beef stews and to richen and thicken the texture of the sauce. Many seasonal liquors such as apple pie and pumpkin pie will pair excellently with seasonal desserts and holiday cookies.

KJ Baaron’s is also a smoke shop. Do you have any new products this fall or any that pair best with autumn drinks? Padron 1964 is a full-flavored cigar that pairs well with scotch or Grand Marnier. Cusano is a mild, yet nice flavored morning cigar – good for a round of golf!

Tuscan reds, bordeaux and port wines. For liquor, seasonal selections such as apple pie liqueurs, pumpkin pie liqueurs and cream-based liqueurs. Also, single malt Scotch whiskies.

Are there any fun ways to use fall drinks, like when cooking? White wines can be used in a variety of seafood-based dishes and adds a wonderful essence of flavor. Red wines, such as pinot noir for beef bourgogne or cabernet sauvignon for roasts, add flavor profiles to red meat and other gamebased dishes and stews. Stouts and
