or as long as I can remember, I’ve loved all things Halloween and spirits – ghosts, candy, horror, “Unsolved Mysteries,” you name it. But as a pretty big skeptic, I’d never been to a psychic or a medium or anything of the sort. When I got the idea for the story, I thought I’d leave skepticism aside and give everyone the benefit of the doubt. So whether you’ve been talking to your long-passed family members for years, or you don’t buy it for a second, you can read all about what people who work in the field do, and how they do it. Maybe you’ll change your mind. After all, the best skeptics know to challenge what they think they know. And if you don’t come out a believer, you’re still sure to have a good time.

Halloween can be tricky for some

STEVEN KING

Walter Bird Jr.

hirteen-year-old Douglas knows Halloween is Oct. 31. He has it marked on his calendar. When he sees Halloween decorations, he will remind his mother it is almost time to go trick-or-treating. For Douglas, it isn’t all just anticipation of Halloween – or any holiday. He is on the autism spectrum, and while not all children with autism have the same levels of behavioral challenges, many need to prepare in advance for events that are not part of their regular routine. Like Halloween, or even Christmas, which is one of the holidays Douglas looks forward to the most. For him, Halloween can mean anxiety and worries, where for other children it just means picking out their favorite costume and getting a big enough bag to hold all the candy. “He is anxious about it,” Rebecca Schoenfeldt, Douglas’s mom, acknowledged. “As soon as he sees decorations, he gets anxious. And he doesn’t like to get dirty, so he can’t do pumpkins, scooping out the insides. He can do arts and crafts, but he doesn’t like getting his hands dirty.” A lot of planning and preparation goes into making sure the holidays are special, and not jarring or unsettling, for Douglas, said Schoenfeldt, who is a therapist at Behavioral Concepts Inc. in Worcester, which works with autistic children. Her son attends BCI’s Center for Applied Behavioral Instruction. It isn’t just special needs children that holidays like Halloween affect. The elderly, too, even if they love holidays, may need special assistance to avoid becoming overwhelmed, even frightened. Worcester-based Visiting Angels Living Assistance Services steps up in that regard,

Council seeks to streamline handicap parking process

JOSHUA LYFORD

Tom Quinn

andicap parking spaces are intended to make things more convenient for residents dealing with challenges that make normal parking or moving from a far-away spot difficult. But the process of applying for and receiving such a spot can be decidedly inconvenient, said members of the City Council this week who inquired about the possibility of streamlining the process. At-Large Councilor Konnie Lukes, who chairs the Traffic and Parking Committee, said the Council’s 11 three-person subcommittees were intended to facilitate communication between the public and the Council, but the system of referring items back and forth between general Council meetings and subcommittees was causing delays when it came to traffic petitions. “It should be very apparent that the committee structure in this particular arena isn’t working,” Lukes said. According to a list of pending Traffic and Parking Committee items, there are currently 26 petitions regarding handicap parking spaces, 16 of which are requesting the installation of a space. The oldest application is from August, far better than most of the other pending items, ranging from crosswalk requests to petitions for traffic studies. The total backlog numbers 253 items as of Oct. 25. The fact that handicap space petitions are handled quickly relative to other items is intentional, Lukes said. But when the committee bumps those petitions to the top of the docket, other items get pushed down, resulting in a chain reaction of delays. “We have kept up with [handicap parking

petitions],” Lukes said. “We haven’t kept up on all the other items being referred.” Lukes’ solution is a system in which the City Manager would simply grant the handicap parking space, with the normal process of community input and objections coming in the form of an appeals process afterwards. The full order asks the City Solicitor to “provide City Council with a legal opinion as to the process of drafting a change in the granting of handicap parking spaces by administration with an appeal process available to a petitioner to the appropriate City Council Standing Committee.” District 4 Councilor Sarai Rivera also signed on to the order, saying it was important to care for citizens with health problems as soon as possible. “One lady had an amputation, and she had to wait over seven months for a handicap parking to get put in, and it was initially put in the wrong side, there was all this confusion,” Rivera said. “Someone who just went through the trauma of an amputation, and then on top of that having to wait, it was really difficult … Someone [else] was really critically ill, and I was afraid by the time the handicap parking was approved, the person would have passed away.” At-Large Councilor Mike Gaffney, who sits on the committee and chaired it last Council term, said there were legal questions around whether the Council could reassign the ability to grant the spaces to the city administration. He also said if the city is looking at streamlining the process, it could go beyond the current order. “Before you actually get to traffic and parking, there’s the delay of getting to Council

Two handicap parking spaces on Judson Road. and getting the item to DPW,” Gaffney said. On the night Lukes proposed the order, three additional petitions for handicap spaces were filed, and she expressed worry that solving the backlog of items was a Sisyphean task. “If this committee met every day for the next five weeks, maybe we’d get that done and finished, but I doubt it,” Lukes said. “Other items keep getting filed every week dealing with parking issues.” The Traffic and Parking Committee has met five times this year. By this time last year, the committee had met nine times; it met 10 times over the course of the year. District 1 Councilor Tony Economou, who

chaired the committee two terms ago, noted concerns around making sure the correct location was chosen both for the petitioner’s sake and the neighbors’, but said the issue was important to get right. “Handicap parking, it’s pretty much a done deal,” Economou said. “There’s a need, the chairperson will get it passed, as will engineering.” Reporter Tom Quinn can be reached at 508-749-3166 x324 or tquinn@ worcestermagazine.com with story ideas, feedback, or questions.

HALLOWEEN continued from page 4

Visiting Angels home health aide Georgina Opuni-Mensah talks with 101-year-old Lena Zottoli. to participate in Halloween activities, it is somewhat of a departure from daily routine. With some planning and careful consideration of Halloween activities, the holiday can be

enjoyable for all.” As Schoenfeldt noted, the act of putting on a costume can be much different for an autistic child than one with no disability.

“I’ll be here,” Opuni-Mensah said. “I’m always here with her.” For Halloween, the caregiver will stand with Zottoli at the door, while she hands out candy. Most of the kids, Opuni-Mensah said, come right after school, a good time for Zottoli. A Visiting Angel is available for seniors on Halloween and other holidays for families who whose elderly loved ones still live on their own. If family members are unable to be with their relative, Visiting Angels can. “Halloween Helpers,” according to Visiting Angels, will shop for candy, help prepare the senior’s home for a safe Halloween, answer the door and help hand out candy to trick-or-treaters. They follow a comprehensive checklist of steps to take in order to provide the senior a safe, enjoyable holiday experience. In many cases, even if family members are available for holidays, they will invite the caregiver to spend the time with them. Similar care and attention is often required for children with autism during the holiday season. Even a night as fun as Halloween can prove problematic, especially for children with autism whose regular activities may be disrupted. “Children with autism find comfort in routine,” said BCI founder and director Dr. Jeff Robinson. “As much as they might want

aromatherapy

Instead of slipping on a pair of comfortable, loose-fitting jeans, the child may be pulling on tight pants for a Superman costume. And like masks can be troublesome for Douglas, they can prove trying for others with autism as well. Both a change in clothing and putting on a mask can trigger frustration and stress, which, with a child like Douglas, could lead to potentially dangerous physical behaviors. Coupled with dealing with potentially large crowds while trick-or-treating, it can all become too much for an autistic child to bear. All the preparation and planning in the world may not be enough to alleviate the pressures being felt by the child. “The reality,” Robinson said, “is that getting into costume and being out in the dark with other children in costume might create too much of a stressor for some children with autism. Let your child know that that’s okay. Then create some new Halloween traditions so they can enjoy the holiday.” Much like dealing with the elderly, it comes down to carefully planning and consistency of actions. “Consistency tends to be important in response to … specific behaviors,” said Brian Doyle, chief operating officer for BCI and school administrator for CABI. “How we respond to that is very important. Consistency of response is very important.” “I think [holidays] can cause some difficulties for some parents, because it’s a once-a-year event, not something they’re doing regularly, multiple times a week,” Doyle continued. “How a kid will react in the costume, for example, dealing with scary costumes. Not every child with autism has an issue, but we find many children on the spectrum tend to have some difficult with these types of things.” The situation is similar to elderly living on their own. Not every senior will require assistance, but those who do can benefit from attentive care and planning. “It’s not always easy for seniors, because they’d always like more involvement with family and friends. They love the company,” Visiting Angels regional director Greg Lindstrom said. “It’s always a sensitive issue around the holidays, but we’ve seen a lot of really good outcomes with families that are really trying to do their best [for their elderly family member].”

Racism is not a new topic in our country. For many, it controls our lives.

p until now, the term racist had been saved for those like Donald Sterling and Paula Deen, their repulsive comments turning the entire country against them, or so it seemed. But when then-joke Republican nominee Donald Trump stated his views on our friends south of the border, calling them murderers and rapists, an entire sea of racists started coming out of the woodwork, practically tearing up the very foundation of the floors. It was inching toward the end of the election, October Surprise nearly in the rear-view mirror. Things were getting ugly, much like they are now. On Oct. 26, 1988, an article on the racial profiling of African Americans within a series of ads by George H. W. Bush was published in

Worcester Magazine. The propaganda pieces released featured antagonistic-looking black men in prisons, using Willie Horton to set a foundation of stereotype, as seen in the famous “Revolving Door” commercial. In the one featured within the article, a group of black men in jumpsuits appeared. Above, was a warning that Massachusetts governor and Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis didn’t care if they raped people. For one, the very implication and profiling that all African Americans rape and overtake women was utterly repulsive, like that of a KKK pamphlet. There’s no question to that. Of course, the die-hard Bush addicts still supported him blindly. Numerous anchors and civilians claimed his ads

and his statements doing the same were not racist, without the proper information, of course. In reality, the racially-charged broadcasts were seldom seem in urban communities with large African American-concentrated communities. And, in interviews with southern publications, his regional campaign directors in Atlanta commented he was basically a hippie. Lee Atwater, another campaign manager, said Willie Horton could possibly become Dukakis’s running mate. The lies that Kellyanne Conway tells are just as creative. It goes to show that history repeats itself. But, in that case, we’re in big trouble when the next orange person runs for elected office.

IN THE WEEDS:

At-Large City Councilor Kate Toomey said she will file a resolution next week asking the Council to go on record opposing Question 4, the state ballot item that would legalize marijuana for recreational use. Readers with good memories might remember the Council voting in March to oppose Question 2, which would lift the cap on charter schools to allow 12 additional schools every year, on a 10-1 vote with AtLarge Councilor – and former School Committee member – Konnie Lukes dissenting. Toomey said as long as the Council is going on record about the ballot questions, it should tackle Question 4. “It’s germane to issues affecting our city – public safety and health,” Toomey said. Next week will have the meat of the argument over the question, but Toomey says her opposition is not due to the general philosophical question about whether weed should be legal, but rather about problems with the question as written, which she said is overly slanted to the marijuana industry and provides little control for cities and towns. “This is not one of those things I want to be first in,” Toomey said. Stay tuned for a pro-weed councilor to hold the item one week so it comes to the floor after the election is over and done with. And don’t hold your breath for the Council to tackle Questions 1 or 3 either, because face it, meat eaters and people who don’t own casinos are just too high a percentage of the population. If you’re basing your vote on what the Worcester City Council does you’ll have to do your own research, and congratulations on the successful lobotomy.

STRAIGHT OUTTA CROMPTON:

Worcester’s own Crompton Place is one of five finalists for the Strong Towns Infrastructure Contest award. Dino Lorusso owns the old mill building, and continues to do a lot of the work of transforming the building into a mixeduse behemoth with his own two hands, but the submission for the contest was written up by Joyce Mandell as part of her Jane Jacobs in the Woo blog, which is named for the writer and activist who promoted the idea of quality urban living. Strong Towns staff whittled the entries down from dozens coming from communities in 25 states and Canada, and now it is up to average citizens to bring it home for their city. Crompton is up against a “freedom garden” in Brockton, and the ultimate humiliation for Worcester would be losing to Brockton in, well, anything. The other entries are a street redesign in West Jefferson, North Carolina, a bike path in Modesto, Calif., and a street redesign in Fargo, North Dakota. Looks like easy sledding, dontcha know. You can find the voting at strongtowns.org. Voting ends Sunday, Oct. 30.

HOUNDED: Last week, in between local media articles about how banning dogs from Worcester parks from 1997 to 2016 has resulted in a bureaucratic conundrum disguised as a push to build dog parks in the city, District 5 City Councilor Gary Rosen tried to push forward two sites “under suspension,” or without notice on the Council agenda – Beaver Brook Park and somewhere near Tacoma Street Playground. The other three promised dog parks could come later, he said, but it wasn’t feasible to build all five at once. That action has had some spin off, though. First, District 3 Councilor George Russell postponed it, arguing the order should have and could have been brought up regularly, and that it did not qualify as an emergency order. That led to local voice for the people Jo Hart submitting a petition asking the Council to “immediately cease its current practice of allowing items to be brought up under suspension at City Council meetings” except in emergency situations, saying that in 10 years of going to meetings she has seen two emergencies. In addition, a few dog owners showed up to complain about the length of the “theatrical” process. It also led to disagreement among Rosen’s colleagues, who questioned the

{ worcesteria } October SALE! BEER

geographic fairness of the proposal. Why, District 2 Councilor Candy Mero-Carlson asked, was Beaver Brook slated for one of the coveted first two spots when the West Side already has Boynton Park, where dog owners have been taking their pets for years? Why, District 3 Councilor George Russell asked, does District 5 get another dog park close by when Boynton Park is already a 25-minute trip from his house? City Manager Ed Augustus Jr. will come back with recommendations on Nov. 15, he said. So whoever had “before the election” in the office pool for when the city would make a decision loses out. I’m still holding out for the Pyeongchang Olympics, but then, I’m an optimist.

ARK REACTOR: The flooding this weekend did have one silver lining – the city got to test

out the brand-new Emergency Operations Center inside the new 911 dispatch building. It only took two months from the opening of the center for it to be put to use, although no doubt the heavy snows of Worcester winter will give it some more use. City officials were overwhelmingly complimentary of the response to the flooding, including from average citizen Good Samaritans, given that there were no fatalities. The city’s ability to put on the scheduled Landlord Summit at the DCU Center shortly after that building got hit with what could be $100,000 worth of damage was also complimented, although some were upset an escalator was out of service. Hey, you can’t please everyone.

WORCESTER-O-WEEN: Halloween is a time for letting loose, breaking all the rules and pretending social norms and expectations don’t exist. That said, here are some scheduled, sanctioned events during the holiday on Oct. 31. The city will host Fall Fest on the Common at 12:30 p.m. - that’s just after noon – with “scarecrow building, petting zoo, kettle corn, pie eating contest, donut-on-a-string, face painting, pumpkin painting, airbrush tattoos, and more.” And it’s all free – well, nothing is free, but you don’t need to buy a ticket. There’s also the Scary Monster Dash, with a youth run at 2:30 p.m. and a 5K at 3 p.m., starting next to City Hall on Front Street. This is a Halloween-themed road race, in case getting off the couch wasn’t scary enough. It appears to go under the Green Street bridge, which is a frightening experience in a car, never mind on foot. Register at scarymonsterdash.com. Then there is the Canal-O-Ween “Nightmare on Water Street” parade at 4 p.m. This is, of course, a Canal District event. Canal-O-Ween actually goes from Oct. 30 to Nov. 5, and more than 15 bars and clubs in the area are participating. Whatever you choose to do during Halloween, stay safe. Unless you’re choosing to go as a scary clown to fit with the craze, in which case I hope you trip and fall into the canal (somehow). ONLY ONLINE: From the website that brought you “The One Enchanting Place In Indiana That Must Go On Your Bucket List Immediately” comes “14 Reasons To Drop Everything And Move To This One Massachusetts City,” and you guessed it, it’s a fantasy version of Worcester! This website also brought you proof that if enough people take the clickbait and spit it out, these sites will change things. There were actually 15 reasons at one point, but the social media outcry over the fact that the Worcester Sharks were a good reason to move to Worcester finally caught up with whoever wrote the article. They’re sticking with the note that Worcester has 12 colleges though, because we’ve already annexed Paxton, they just haven’t noticed yet. And at one point the article notes “you can avoid the headache of living right in the city,” ignoring the fact that Worcester is THE SECOND LARGEST CITY IN NEW ENGLAND. Lord, please forgive the Bostonians, for they do not know what they are doing. DEBATE DATES: With two competitive state rep. races in the area, there have been a few

debates and there will be a few more. Incumbent Republican State Rep. Kate Campanale will be debating Democrat Moses Dixon over their visions for the 17th Worcester District on Oct. 27. The festivities, sponsored by Worcester Magazine and WCRN in partnership with WCCA TV and Charter 3, start at 7 p.m. at the Our Lady of Angels hall on Main Street. Then, on Oct. 31, incumbent Democratic state Rep. Dan Donahue will face off against United Independent Party candidate John Fresolo for control of the 16th Worcester District. That will be at the Our Lady of Perpetual Help hall on Hamilton Street. It’s also on Halloween, but the notice clearly states “NO costumes, candy or disguises ..... just facts.” Missed opportunity, if you ask me.

I’m holding my breath; one of my students is bound to want to know what the hell is going on, and I’ll have to admit I haven’t a clue. I like to think that I tackle sticky subjects honestly with kids. I’ve always prided myself in having a rapport with teens that results in trust, but they’re being bombarded on all sides with hateful rhetoric and disgraceful revelations that are difficult to put into any kind of perspective. Here’s what I’m hoping: that on Nov. 9, after Donald Trump has been relegated to the election dust bin by a landslide, we are able to analyze all that was terribly wrong about the entire disgusting circus, and why decency and common sense prevailed. I want to be able to exhale again regarding the future of the kids who sit in front of me, and the grandchildren with whom I’ve been blessed. I want to talk about how Americans narrowly missed disaster, but came to their senses just in time. Never again do I wish to ponder the size of a candidate’s penis when looking at his hands. Never again do I want to hear a candidate talk about how easy it is to force himself on women, simply because he is famous. Fame and infamy are vastly different. Howdy Doody was famous. Whitey Bulger is infamous. Some can be both: Bill Cosby was famous. Bill Cosby is infamous. Donald Trump was famous. Donald Trump is infamous. And reprehensible. Here’s hoping concerned Americans pull us out of the disgraceful dirt ditch into which we’ve slipped.

Koch Industries, in which he shares ownership, provides employment to thousands of Americans while producing goods like oil, chemicals and forest products that we all use. I doubt that Mr. Hite has ever met Mr. Koch, or in any way been directly affected by him. Nor have I heard of any noteworthy services that Hite has performed for his community or his country. It appears that his insult to Mr. Koch was merely the expression of a shameful envy, along with (perhaps) disapproval of his political views. Such remarks hardly merit publication.

What makes scary music scary Reagan G. Paras

hroughout history, music has been used as a medium to elevate the spirit in a liturgical setting, served as entertainment, as well as medicinal therapy. Music has also had a deep connection with inciting fear to the masses. Audiences and composers understand the power music has over the psyche of the listener. In the spirit of Halloween, we will look at music’s role in film. During the Middle Ages, use of the tritone, often referred to as “the devil’s interval,” was banned in liturgical music. Unlike the misleading name, the tritone consists of only two notes, but is separated by three whole steps in music. Some speculate it is a mocking of the Holy Trinity. When you hear both notes together, this particular interval causes uneasiness and discomfort to the listener. It is no surprise, then, that many films heavily use this interval within a composition to move the audience to feel unbalanced. Some people even allege they hear the interval playing in

a drone, trance-like manner throughout the entirety of a movie to cause an hour and half of utter fright. Regarding the tonality of a horror film score, composers use dissonance to their advantage. Dissonant chords cause the audience to feel unstable and need to resolve harmonically. Throughout music history, every great composer utilized dissonance to take the listener on a musical journey; it was how they took the audience to the resolution that separated the good composers from the great composers. The general concept behind dissonance is that it elicits a feeling that something is wrong – a concept prevalent in every horror film. The juxtaposition of volume is a musical device always employed in cinema. Often times, the audience will jump at the sudden rush of musical notes. The famous shower scene in the film “Psycho” had audiences reeling in fear due in large part to this very musical device. As music continues to progress, instruments are being created to give us different timbres.

Relevant composers will even make use of untraditional instruments or nontraditional playing methods. Composer Kryszt of Penderecki’s famous song, “Threnody,” was used in the popular film, “The Shining.”

Your Turn My top six horror film pics that use these fear-inducing musical elements, in descending order, are: 6. “Insidious” – This particular film begins with perhaps the most memorable and frightening opening credits. The music during the opening credits is directly responsible for this reason. 5. “Halloween” – The simple Michael Myers melody that we all know is perhaps the most recognizable theme song for any antagonist in a horror film genre. Darth Vader’s “Imperial March” is probably the only song that better

associates a character with a theme song. 4. “The Wizard of Oz’s The Witches’ Theme” – Before horror film fanatics throw a fit, what other children’s film allows a beloved main character to be ripped to shreds? Having produced, directed, choreographed and music directed the stage production many times, the dissonant chords used for the Wicked Witch caused tremendous fear in the 4-year-olds that were sure to attend this production. 3. “The Shining” – During this film, the use of the devil’s interval, dissonance and Threnody is absolutely masterful. 2. Jaws – The use of rests in this two-note theme is absolutely incredible. This song continues to instill great panic to beach-goers’ worldwide. 1. Psycho – Already mentioned earlier, no musical score employs the musical devices mentioned earlier better than this film. It continues to set the standard for film writing. Be sure to thank Bernard Hermann for composing the greatest horror film soundtrack ever written! Reagan Paras is director of Music Programs at Anna Maria College

{ coverstory } Worcester and Central Mass boast a wide selection of people who deal with all things paranormal, astrological and psychic. And while their methods for exploring the paranormal might not be as flashy as a ghostbusting light show and a restored ’59 Cadillac ambulance, they’re still here to get the job done. The human desire to understand the

supernatural and improve lives by reading the stars and consulting psychics goes back about as far as the species itself. Various cultures have always had ways to convene with the dead, read future events, and look to seemingly benign objects in hopes of a hint or some sort of reassurance about big decisions in their lives.

TO THE STARS

One of the first places your mind might go when you want answers is to a horoscope and the skies above. Sherrye Lianne Weinstein is an astrologer based in Worcester. She is not currently operating, but was extremely knowledgeable about astrology, and hopes to maybe get back to it in 2017.

Weinstein made the important connection between the rest of the psychic abilities and hers: astrology. She believes psychic ability (though she did not seem keen on calling it that) is something everyone is born with, as well as what drives a good astrologer. “What drove me to these studies,” said Weinstein, “was the fact that I had seemingly random psychic experiences that were rather disruptive to me at times. I spent most of my life blocking experiences, and avoiding

them. However, with astrology, I can set up a chart to analyze, and the deeper I go into the analysis of the chart, the more I can open up psychically. I am very careful with those realms, but yes, I do connect psychically during chart readings.” Astrology dates back thousands of years, and does not seem to show any signs of losing momentum. Rather than get into it too much, why not let a professional talk about what, exactly, astrology is? “Astrology,” Weinstein said, “is a combination of an art and a science. Everything is calculated mathematically, which astrologers had to do without the help of computers up until recent decades, and I was one of them. Aside from the math, however, intuition plays a big part, just as it does when a medically-trained person has a hunch, or sees the bigger picture. I find that as I am analyzing a chart according to data and decades of study, intuition kicks in.” It becomes clear that writing horoscopes and sequencing events takes a little more work than the average columnist or writer at your local newspaper might be prepared to handle. As she mentioned, Weinstein believes she, like everyone else, has psychic power. Intuition, as she called it, “is what some people term as ‘psychic.’” A combination of intuition or psychic

ability and intense study of various astrological charts and celestial positions are just a small part of what it takes to be an astrologer. Weinstein described it as “a never ending study.” “I was mostly self-taught, beginning in the late 1960s,” said Weinstein, “but I did take some classes when they became available to me. One important facet of it is the archetypes of the gods and goddesses that are related to the signs and planets. They represent different ‘energies’ that can be seen in the personality, in the life and in the environment.” Energy plays a big part in all things psychic or intuitive, and Weinstein shares her opinion with most of the rest of the local mediums.

ANYBODY SEE A GHOST?

Not every medium works the same way. Many of the area mediums had answers and

methods that overlapped, but also showed their own personal touch while on the job. Laura Emerald, a Central Massachusetts spirit medium, cited myriad ways the dead can communicate with us, and spoke a little about where this ability comes from. Like Weinstein, Emerald believes it is something everyone has to some degree. She discovered her ability at the age of 35. “So I’ve come to believe that we are all born with this ability, and it gets socialized out of us,” Emerald said. “Just like learning to play the piano, can anyone learn how to do it or develop those skills? Yes. We’re not all born a Mozart, but we can all learn it.” Even the word “psychic” and its roots, Emerald said, hint at the ability’s presence in everyone. “The word ‘psyche’ means of the soul,” she said. “We all have a soul; we all have this ability. And when you actually start asking people about this field, you find that everybody has a story.” According to Emerald, there three main senses mediums can use to observe spirits in the area: clairvoyance, the ability to see signs and spirits; clairaudience, the ability to hear supernatural sounds; and clairsentience, feeling the presence of or communications from spirits within the body.

When I do readings for clients, most often the clairvoyance comes in first. I’ll see someone’s spirit. I’ll start describing them to

It’s all the energy that’s there,” said Lewis. “Of course, when I’m doing mediumship, I’m reading the energy of those who have crossed over.” “I feel they’re in another dimension,” she continued. “I don’t believe there’s a heaven and hell, that we just go through different dimensions. Because, when you break us down, we’re really energy in a physical mass. Energy doesn’t die. So when physical mass breaks down, what happens is that energy transforms, which is our soul, or whatever you want to call it.” Varying nomenclature and sketched graphs aside, a lot of Lewis’s and Diggins’s methods seem similar to those of Emerald. They feel clairsentience, getting similar information about causes of death. They also use what can best be described as sign language to communicate simple messages from the spirits to the person at the reading. During a reading, any of the mediums can be seen gazing around the room at nothing in particular, though still actively engaging in conversation, both with their client and with whatever spirits are present.

‘TALKING BOARDS’

While mediums were nothing new by that time, a portable device started making appearances in the second half of the 19th century. Dubbed “talking boards,” the devices supposedly allowed the average person to make contact with their loved ones on the other side, minus the middle man.

For those of you unfamiliar, a talking board is usually a piece of rectangular wood containing the letters of the alphabet, as well as numbers from zero to nine, scrawled across the surface. Players use what is called a planchette to ask the board questions. By putting their fingers on the planchette and asking a question, a spirit can guide their hands and the piece to letters and numbers spelling out answers to their inquiries. We recognize the famous Ouija talking board today. Early on, though, there

with the Talking Board Historical Society (TBHS). The group has members all over the country, but John Kozik resides in Burlington. He was more than willing to show off his collection of talking boards, and talk about their history and what they meant to psychics and mediums. “In the mid-1850s you had a huge spiritualist movement,” said Kozik. “You started to have table rapping and spirit horns and all these other spirit communication devices coming out. And through that, eventually people would communicate . . . when they were speaking to a spirit they would just knock for the letter of the alphabet. So “C” would be three knocks. And you can imagine how long that takes to communicate. So at some point they started using letters and numbers on a board.” But the Ouija board as we know it today did not immediately take shape in its current form. There were plenty of predecessors, and it was not until decades later that someone thought to take legal action and brand the real thing. “It wasn’t until 1890 that Charles Kennard came along and patented the board itself,” Kozik said. “So there are homemade boards prior to that, being made. But in 1890 is really when you get the birth of the Ouija board.” Post patent, it became much harder for talking board companies to operate, and they started to take a more uniform setup in order to appeal to Ouija’s customers through familiarity. Talking boards that used to brand themselves as Ouija were often forced to change their names and designs, though, according to Kozik and his collection, many of the companies made minimal changes to their boards in order to get by. While Kennard was originally thought to be the creator of the Ouija board, that claim has been since discredited. According the TBHS, the Ouija board’s name came about when “The Mother of the Ouija board,” Helen Peters, played the board and asked it what it wished to be called. “Ouija” is supposedly what the board spelled. There are other less exciting theories about the board’s name, but we will stick with that one for the sake of spookiness. Despite the success of the Ouija board, and its numerous spawn (think of every knock-off app in the app store for every one original app), work for psychics and mediums did not dry up, nor were they forced to cross over. Fear not, mediums and psychics, the Ouija board took its shot, and it does not seem to be gunning for your jobs anymore.

As far as the origin of the new and improved spooky Ouija board, that seems to have kicked in in the mid-20th century. “In the beginning,” said Kozik, “it was fairly entertaining. If you look at the original boxes, you see what looks to be like a

guy and a girl playing the board with their knees touching, and the board is on their laps. It’s kind of risque in the sense where they’re unchaperoned, playing in a dim lit room, touching each other.” Ouija was a party activity or a good excuse to get some alone time and get close to that person you were trying to date, in an era where adults had rulers handy at all times to make sure children were not defiling each other by holding hands or giving a flirty side eye. “Almost right away you do hear stories of murderers and stuff, and the Ouija boards telling them to kill,” said Kozik. “It’s kind of always there from the beginning. We think it’s not until ‘The Exorcist’ that you start getting the ‘Ouija-stition’ that playing the board alone can lead to bad things.” In “The Exorcist,” a family becomes the target of a possessive demon when their daughter, Regan, starts talking to her friend, Captain Howdy, via the seemingly innocent, game-like Ouija board. Little did she know, she would become a vessel for evil not long after. Kozik talked a little about the legitimacy of Ouija boards. He personally does not believe they can reach the other side. The boards do appear to work for some, he said, but not for the reasons they think. continued on page 26

“They call that the motorcade response,” said Kozik, “and that is your brain subconsciously giving you the answers or making you move the planchette to the letters.” Essentially, the piece moves around the board because of what your subconscious is expecting it to do. Answers can vary, but generally it will be something from one of the players’ subconscious, possibly something that they are not even aware of. Horror writers and directors, among others, have used visitors from the other side as the antagonists in their movies for years, almost back to the beginning of film. Even an early 1908 production of “A Christmas Carol” saw Ebenezer Scrooge talking to various spirits to learn just how much of a jerk he really was. Whether it is summoning demons in the 1981 film “Evil Dead,” or talking to the other side through a medium in the more contemporary classic, “Insidious,” mediating for spirits has taken humanity to some dark places. The horror genre would have you believing no good can come of talking to our dead ancestors. But not every interaction with the other side has to be the goat-assisted seance terror fest at the end of 2009’s “Drag Me to Hell.”

people. Scary movie tropes aside, there does not appear to be any major harm that can come from mediating between the living and the dead, so why not help people come to terms with the loss of their loved ones, or find peace in the decisions they have made.

is genuine, these mediums wanted little to no information. You can dig up a lot on the internet, and if you talk in vague details, it might not be so hard to get an “I love you” to a client that misses their lost grandfather. “You can’t have it just general, ‘Oh, I miss you’ or ‘Oh, I love you.’ You can’t have that in a reading,” said Diggins. She said those are the kinds of things that everyone is looking for, but implied those are also the easy way out for a medium. “It’s my job to bring that further,” Diggins said. Clients, she said, should expect more from

in a car accident. “My son, when he was in the car accident, his cell phone got lost and I wasn’t able to find it for days,” Mary said. “And I was asking the police, I was asking everyone. The very first thing Laura said to me was, ‘Your son was hiding his cell phone.’” Mary said she went back to the scene of the accident to find the cell phone lying underneath a guard rail at the crash site. At a later reading, when Mary asked her son, through Emerald, if her son had any messages for his older, still-living brother, Emerald came back with the reply, “Beam me up, Scotty,” a reference to her Mary’s elder son’s love of “Star Trek.” Mary is still receiving signs through Emerald a year after her son’s death, including, she believes, talking about him for this story. Emerald passed all the details on the anniversary of his death, though the date of his passing was unknown to her. Whether it’s something related to an ideomotor response, a blind desire to believe, or the real thing, hopefully this gives everyone some insight into a profession at which they might have previously scoffed or rolled their eyes. “[Emerald] didn’t know anything about me, and I didn’t know anything about her,” Mary said. “Laura has been right on with her readings with me, over and over again, every time.” Remember, these professionals are ready to believe you. Are you ready to believe them?

I’ve got the best job ever. I love my job. It’s pretty rewarding. You know, you get to help people. - Amy Diggins help people,” Diggins said. Something that has actually helped public perception is the influx of television shows about mediums and psychics. The shows have brought the work to light in the mainstream and knocked away some of the creepy cobwebs that used to obscure the world of the psychics. Diggins said it has helped clients to understand what they should expect in a reading. “The way social media has progressed, the way internet has progressed, a reading shouldn’t be about your social media account or anything, or what’s on the internet,” explained Diggins. “I think it’s the medium’s job to conduct a reading in a way where the person comes in for a reading, and leaves more informed and better suited to handle situations.” And in an effort to show what they do

Getting results from a psychic might depend on how much you are willing to suspend your disbelief. But as any of these psychics would tell you, whether you believe it or not, this stuff is happening.

… And Now Mozart at Mechanics Hall Joshua Lyford

Let’s face it, classical concerts have a tendency to come off as stuffy affairs. They weren’t always that way, however, and the musical comedy duo of Igudesman & Joo are showing fans of music and comedy there is an alternative with “And Now Mozart” coming to Mechanics Hall, 319 Main St., Sunday, Nov. 13.

The pair officially formed 12 years ago, though Aleksey Igudesman and Hyung-ki Joo had been friends much longer than that. They met at England’s Yehudi Menuhin School, and bonded over not just an appreciation for classical music, but the idea that the genre was taking itself too seriously. “The combination of music and theatre and comedy seems very new, but in real honesty, it’s very retro,” explained Joo. “Those guys were already doing that back then. If you look at historical documents of how concerts were performed, they have nothing to do with how concerts are performed today. Beethoven almost never performed with a whole symphony from beginning to end. In between movements, they would do things like play the violin upside down. This was the spirit of the times. They all improvised, like jazz guys or rock musicians do today. They would improvise these concertos, it was newer than new. Even in the premiere, he’d be creating something new.” So, violinist Igudesman and pianist Joo, did what made the most sense at the time: they created the experience they wished to enjoy. The pair combine their considerable musical chops and musicianship with a theatrical and comedy sensibility to great effect (for a reference point, check out their YouTube videos for “Rachmaninov had big Hands” and “I will survive,” each well over the six million views range). “We met at music school at the age of 12, and the amazing thing is that we’re biologically many years older, but mentally we’ve remained 12,” joked Joo. “What we do onstage is just a kind of a mature adolescence. We basically had these ideas back when we met at school. We were both so perplexed, concerned and dissatisfied with the way concerts were being presented and performed. It felt like going to a funeral. It had nothing to do with the passion and joy surrounding music. When we thought of Mozart and Beethoven, people who lived life on the edge, who were so full of humor and passion in music and their personal lives, we thought, something is wrong here. I don’t know at what point we codified what we wanted to do, but we knew we wanted to create the concert we would like to go to ourselves.” While the performances are hilarious good times, it is clear both Joo and Igudesman bring their unique brand of entertainment to the stage from a place of deep and passionate appreciation. “We don’t dumb it down,” said Joo. “Most of our material comes from the music. For us, the music always comes first. To this date, we’ve never sat down and said, ‘Let’s write something funny and then write music.’ It’s always, ‘Let’s find great music, or compose, or arrange a piece of music or play an existing piece and find what nuggets of humor it inspires.’” As for what the audience can expect, Joo was direct, and it is suggested to check out some of their YouTube videos to get an idea of what makes the act so compelling and fun. “It has everything,” he said. “It’s part concert, it’s part comedy show, its part family entertainment. It’s part total madness, it’s part potpourri and a wide range of music. We dabble with country western, we dabble with heavy metal and jazz, folk music, with rap. There’s everything. There’s something for everyone. This is one of the reasons why it’s a family show. A 6-year-old kid will deal with our stupidity, goofiness and zaniness. And the college university student will say, ‘These guys are on the edge and radical and anarchic and what the hell are they doing ripping the legs off the piano?’, and there will be the more familiar classical music generation that will get all the inside jokes and say, ‘These guys are rather smart.’ There’s everything.” Tickets for “And Now Mozart,” coming to Mechanics Hall, 319 Main St., on Sunday, Nov. 13, are on sale at Musicworcester.org. Tickets are $49 for adults, $17.50 for students and $7.50 for youths. You can find out more on Igudesman and Joo online at Igudesmanandjoo.com. The duo’s debut album, “You Just Have to Laugh,” is available on all mainstream music sellers, such as Amazon, iTunes, and Google Play. CDs will also be available at each of their upcoming live shows, including Mechanics Hall. Reporter Joshua Lyford can be reached at 508-749-3166, ext. 325, or by email at Jlyford@ worcestermagazine.com. Follow Josh on Twitter @Joshachusetts and on Instagram @Joshualyford.

Roger Salloom’s gotta get back to Worcester Jim Perry

Singer/Songwriter Roger Salloom may have written a long ago song titled, “Gotta Get Out of Worcester,” but he sure likes to come back often. The Northampton native returns for an intimate performance at the Myles and C. Jean McDonough room at Hanover Theatre Saturday, Oct. 29.

Roger will be performing some of his own songs, and some tunes he has “collected” throughout the years. The new, 150seat mini-theater should prove the perfect intimate setting for Salloom’s friendly performance style. Salloom is a critic’s darling, having achieved almost legendary status as the one that got away, so to speak. He has been compared to Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney, in the way that he combines melodic skills and storytelling. The Greenfield Recorder calls his songs, “thoughtful and engaging.” David Bowling, of Blog Critics, says Salloom, “sets the

standard for singer/songwriters.” Roger’s approach to performing is not unlike John Hiatt. The audience member feels as though they are in his living room, sipping a cup of tea and enjoying a good listen. Salloom’s songs will, “massage your worries into next week,” as John Lomax II said of him.

Salloom says Saturday’s show will involve a trio. “I’m working with two brilliant musicians,” he gushes. Bassist Jeff Dostal has played with the Commonwealth Symphony and has a degree from U Mass and the New England Conservatory. He plays upright and electric. “Jeff is a wonderful guy and a great singer,” says Salloom. “His harmonies are spot on.” Also joining Salloom will be Joe Boyle on lead guitar. Boyle works with former Monkee Peter Tork, as well as Aaron Lewis from Staind, who is now leaning toward country music. Salem calls Boyle, “very cerebral in his approach to music.” Speaking of performing, Salloom is honest about what he feels every time he goes on stage. “It can be terrifying,” he says, “but it can also be filled with exuberance and caring. I vacillate from feeling compassion to being terrified.” His relationship with the Hanover is strong. Salloom has opened for Aaron Neville, and played other events in the building. “I have done many things here. The Hanover is very successful, and has a large membership,” he says, adding his experiences there have always been positive. Asked what people should expect when they come to a Roger Salloom show, he responds, “Expect to smile a lot.” The show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 each.

Ribs and reserves at Oak Barrel Tavern Sandra Rain

I visited Oak Barrel Tavern, formerly Tweed’s, with two friends after work on a Friday afternoon. I was surprised to find the recently-renovated space offered a classically rustic aesthetic, with reclaimed wooden surfaces and brown leather chairs spanning as far as the eye could see; seriously, the space is huge.

Servers and bartenders wore khaki uniforms suited for safari, and poured beers from barrels outfitted with tap handles. Edison light bulbs dangled from glass cones overhead

and a bronze-tiled floor runner glinted from the bar below. Vintage photos of Worcester hung around the room, typical of a new wave of restaurants pouring into the city. Exposed brick on one large wall mirrored a facade of large, shiny, white tiles one might find in a subway station. A charming fireplace awaited cold winter days, encircled by a handful of comfortable chairs for sipping and lounging. I arrived first, sitting down at the bar at 3:55 to order a Jefferson Old Fashioned ($10) from a Presidential menu with the subheading, “ridiculously small batch bourbon.” I told the bartender I’d be meeting two friends, and asked for the Potato Nachos ($10.79) to tide us over. The drink appeared in moments with an electric red maraschino cherry muddled at the bottom. My friends joined me shortly after; I informed them the nachos would be out shortly and they found themselves drawn to the Presidential page of the cocktail menu. One ordered a flight of the Jefferson bourbons ($15) that included Jefferson’s Very Small Batch - aged five-12 years in slightly charred barrels to enhance the expression of vanilla, Jefferson’s Reserve - a blend of three bourbons with a strong oak character and distinct toffee notes, and Jefferson’s Ocean -

quite literally, aged at sea on an ocean vessel. The other ordered a Cranberry Mule ($9), made with a spicy ginger beer and an unsweetened iced tea ($2.79). With each new drink, our bartender printed a fresh receipt, leaving it in a glass in front of us. By 4:45, the establishment had grown busy, so we patiently waited to check in with the bartender to inquire about our nachos and put in a couple of other dishes to share. She smiled from across the bar, acknowledging our attempts to make eye contact. When she had a free moment to approach I said, “I just wanted to ask about those potato nachos…” A look of recognition passed over her face. “I had a feeling you were going to order those!” she said, and punched it into the POS system, printing a new receipt all in one swift motion. The nachos emerged in no less than

three minutes, a large helping of seasoned waffle fries - which I suspect were made in house, shredded cheddar jack cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onions, jalapenos and sour cream. The waffle fries proved perfect little vehicles for toppings, whether consumed by hand or by fork. Next, we requested a Worcester Wedge ($9.99) and the St. Louis Ribs ($19.79), both of which arrived in under 15 minutes. The Worcester Wedge included crisp, cold continued on page 34

OAK BARREL continued from page 33

iceberg lettuce, jalapeño bacon, red onions, tomatoes and blue cheese crumbles served with a drizzle of blue cheese dressing and balsamic glaze. If ever there’s a time to fool yourself into thinking you’ll play it healthy and order a salad, it’s Friday after work at the Oak Barrel Tavern. The ribs fell off the bone, immersed in a delicious house bourbon barbecue sauce. Rather than accepting this dish on a bed of heat-and-serve crinkle fries

and cafeteria coleslaw, I regret not requesting a substitute of the fresh cut waffle fries. We ordered another round of drinks as we made our way through the indulgent spread: a BBC Coffeehouse ($5.50), a Jefferson Reserve Manhattan ($15), and a Jefferson Old Fashioned ($10). While beer was very reasonably priced, some of the cocktails seemed exorbitant. The total bill came to $115.41. I will happily give Oak Barrel Tavern another try.

Join us at our sister restaurant, Altea’s Eatery, on Park Ave. Serving Breakfast and Lunch.

BITE SIZED JIMMY JOHN’S!

Yeah, we were excited, too, when word got out that a new Jimmy John’s was coming to Worcester. So much so that we were among the first at the counter for lunch when the spot at 1 Mercantile St., at the Unum building, opened recently. It is owner Jeff Stanek’s first Jimmy John’s. If first impressions count, and we believe they do, Worcester is going to take quite nicely to the new Jimmy John’s. Check it out at jimmyjohns.com. Better yet, head on over and tell ’em Worcester Magazine sent you.

MAPLE MANIA

New drinks are all the rage, right? And they come in all flavors. Heck, Worcester’s Polar Beverages even sprang Unicorn Kisses on its customers earlier this year. The folks in Pioneer Valley are getting their first taste of yet another entry in the beverage market in the form of a carbonated drink sweetened by maple syrup. It’s called MapleMama Craft Maple Spritzers, from MapleMama Beverages LLC. The initial products are Fair Trade Vanilla and Cold Brew Coffee. Worcester has a hand in the process, with bottling

SOMETHING’S BREWING

Drinking to help fight hunger? Who doesn’t want in on that? “Something’s Brewing in Worcester” kicks off Monday, Nov. 7 at Hanover Theatre, 7-10 p.m. For the second year in a row, the Massachusetts Restaurant Association and Worcester Chamber of Commerce are sponsoring the event, which raises money for Share Our Strength, which works to end child hunger in America. Wormtown Brewery will serve up the brews, with local restaurants providing food. You’ll chomp on munchies from Smokestack Urban Barbecue, Sonoma Restaurant of Princeton,

Chuck’s Steak House, The Mill at 185, Flying Rhino Cafe & Watering Hole, Baba Sushi, Peppercorn’s Grille & Tavern, Tomasso Trattoria, The Fix Burger Bar, Bull Mansion, British Beer Company and Sweet Restaurant & Bar. Tickets are $35, general admission; $30

for MRA members. Buy them at ce.strength. org/events/something-brewing-worcester. You can learn more about Share Our Strength at nokidhungry.org. To learn more about the MRA, visit themassrest.org or call 508303-9905. Want to know more about the Chamber? You can either hound President & CEO Tim Murray for his cell phone number, visit worcesterchamber.org or call 508-7532924 (which is not Murray’s cell phone). And, finally, for more about Wormtown, visit wormtownbrewery.com, call 774-239-1555 or just show up at 72 Shrewsbury St. when it’s open, order up a brew and hang on the heated patio. Hoist one up in the direction of Worcester Magazine’s offices, which are located on the second floor of the building.

DISHING IT OUT

Livia’s Dish has become about as much a

staple of Worcester in its four short years as anything else. Now the owners are looking to build on its success with their newest restaurant, Altea’s Eatery, 259 Park Ave. The name borrows from the oldest daughter of

the owners, Enton Mehillaj and Oriola Koci. Livia’s is named after their youngest. If you count yourself among the Livia’s faithful, might we suggest you feel no guilt over trying out Altea’s. Heck, make both part of your regular rounds. And tell 'em Worcester Magazine sent you! STEVEN KING

TASTY AFFAIR

You can help out Auburn Youth and Family Services by heading out to Chuck’s Steakhouse, 10 Prospect St., Auburn, for the AYFS Wine Tasting & Food Pairing Thursday, Nov. 10, 6:30-9 p.m. You’ll get a fall salad, Eggplant Rollatini, boneless short ribs and dessert.

Through The Doors is a Multi-media Tribute to Jim Morrison and The Doors and has been touring since 1980. This re-creation of the sound, look and “feel” of an actual Doors concert is so complete, it never ceases to startle even the seasoned crew. And it starts right away: In the darkened theater, well before the band has taken the stage, anticipation runs hot and the chanting for “Jim” begins. Perhaps it is the audiences’ overwhelming desire to experience a true “Resurrection” that fuels the flames. Or, attribute it if you must, to a legend that survives, even grows, some 40 years after the mysterious death of James Douglas Morrison and the dissolution of his band. Even now The Doors’ albums continue to sell and Jim’s face still appears on the covers of magazines, film, television and radio. They serve up the “Lizard King” on a daily basis, and still the masses pay homage in droves that surpass even the dizzying heights of the band’s popularity when still “alive”. And yet, a Through The Doors performance goes far beyond the simple duplication of a concert that would have been standard late 1960’s fare. This performance is more akin to a Broadway show or Vegas Extravaganza - seasoned professional actor/musicians utilizing sound, staging, lighting, and projection equipment that audiences have come to expect. The effect is electrifying and the response has been phenomenal, as their longevity alone can testify to. So, sit back in your seat (for as long as you can), and get ready to travel through the Doors of perception, traverse space and time on a psychedelic, mind expanding dance-trance! Ladies and Gentlemen: Through The Doors! Costume Contest: The Cove is going to be giving away 3 day 2 night trip for 2 to the destination of your choice from 20 different destinations!

Genitorturers at The Cove Music Hall Halloween Night. Monday Halloween Night The Genitorturers will be at The Cove Music Hall! Genitorturers: Renowned for their status as agents provocateur of the underground hard rock and industrial metal scenes, the latex defining and pop-culture defying Genitorturers return with the Nov. 3, 2009 release of Blackheart Revolution [G-Force/MVD Entertainment]. The outfit’s fifth studio release, Blackheart Revolution is a mesmerizing blend of infectious riffs and riotous overtures that lay the sexually-charged foundation for frontwoman Gen, the master of turbo-charged ceremonies and erotic rituals. The Genitorturers live spectacle returns to the road fall 2009 with dates in the U.S and 2010 will include stops in Australia, Europe, UK and South America! “We wanted to make a big rock record that translates the same excitement I felt when I heard AC/DC’s Highway to Hell for the first time, combined with the dark intrigue of Alice Cooper’s Welcome to My Nightmare,” says Gen of the new release. “We wanted something that shakes the walls, grabs you by the balls, and scares you a bit in the process!” Mission accomplished, as Blackheart Revolution combines the band’s signature, genre-bending style of aggressive rock, seductive metal and underground electric pop. Co-Produced by David “Evil D” Vincent [Morbid Angel] and Scott Humphrey [Motley Crue, Rob Zombie, Ozzy Osbourne], the album is a roller coaster ride of musical twists, sonic turns and reckless abandon. A product of Orlando, Florida’s musical underbelly,

what Genitorturers lack in wholesome family fun, they make up for in their celebration of the unspeakable, embracing and exploring our conservative culture’s taboos. They caught the ear (and eye) of legendary music industry magnate Miles Copeland, who signed the band to their first deal on his I.R.S. label, where they joined the ranks of fellow Copeland signings Gary Numan, The Go-Gos and R.E.M. From their beginnings as upstart mavericks, to their current status as veteran iconoclasts, the only boundaries the Genitorturers know are the boundaries that they shatter.

Mehmet Ali Sanl’kol With eleven musicians and a storyteller, Othello in the Seraglio: The Tragedy of Sümbül the Black Eunuch, is scaled to the intimate, informal setting of a coffeehouse in seventeenth century Istanbul (Constantinople). In the days before tea became the preferred Turkish beverage, this was a setting in which a professional storyteller (meddah) entertained a cosmopolitan audience of men while they smoked and sipped coffee, a newly-fashionable stimulant imported from Yemen. The storyteller spins out a well-known tale, an historically-based legend of love and jealousy, intensified by the crossing of boundaries between the free and the enslaved, white and black, Muslim and non-Muslim.

Two minutes with...

Mike Earielo went to Everyday Miracles looking for a way out of addiction. Through the help of the agency’s peer staff, he is going on five years clean. Earielo left behind a life of gangs and drugs to help others defeat the same crippling cycle. Today, he serves as the director of Everyday Miracles, replacing former director Athena Haddon and continuing the good fight.

STEVEN KING

Mike Earielo How did you get to be the director of Everyday Why’s it different? Because of the Fentanyl and the tranquilizers that they’re cutting Miracles? I’m a man who’s in long-term recovery myself. What that means for me is I haven’t had my drug of choice for over five years. And as a result of that I was able to go back to school, get a degree in drug counseling … I was member here first, actually. I volunteered here for four years. I ended up getting hired a year ago, and the former program director was thinking about leaving, but she wasn’t sure she was ready to leave, and she wanted to make sure the center was in the right hands, so to speak, and she thought I was up to the task. She felt she had a job offering, so she felt comfortable enough to go ahead and leave this position. I have to thank Spectrum Health Systems for really putting in peers to the workforce and using that model. [We} have a couple of staff that went through the system as well and it seems to be working quite well down here at the center.

the heroin with. In some cases, they’re using straight Fentanyl Narcan’s not working, not on the Fentanyl. You have to hit somebody four, five times, and that’s not a guarantee they’re going to pull through. That wasn’t ever in the ’70s or ’80s, or even the ’90s, the Fentanyl stuff. It just started surfacing now. It’s a cheaper way for the drug cartels to cut their heroin, whatever the case may be. And that’s what we’re finding in a lot of the overdoses.

How do we combat that? Keeping these

centers open. Having these places available. Changing the stigma on other pathways to recovery, like medicated assistance. Medicated assistance programs are working. They’re highly successful, but there’s a stigma that says, ‘If you’re on a medicated assistance, then you’re not really in recovery, or you’re not clean.” How did Everyday Miracles help you when you And we have to change that. Whatever came in? Well, it helped, anywhere from it takes to keep someone off the streets learning about recovery, helped me fight shooting heroin or smoking crack, I’m all my addiction. The center also taught me in. I’m all for it. There’s many ways to get I didn’t have to settle as being somebody to Boston, it’s not just one way. You got that had addiction. That was the end of the Route 9, the Mass Pike. So as long as you story. They told me the only limitations get to Boston, it doesn’t matter which way I have are the ones I put on myself. So, you take. And that’s the same. I don’t care because of the center, I went back to how you get to recovery, as long as you school, I got my education, I started get there, and that’s the main goal. We believing and setting goals, stuff like that, should all be embracing that. The epidemic I all learned from the center and the peers with the HIV in the AIDS movement, they here. It’s a peer-to-peer recovery center. came together as one voice, and said we need change. We need policy change. Us How has the opioid epidemic impacted in the recovery community, there’s quite things? We see death every day. Or hear a bit of us, and we have a loud voice if about it anyways. We lost so many we come together as one voice, and we members that came through those doors demand some change and policy change, to the epidemic. And. you know, a lot of and start using our rights, our votes and people say there’s been always been an electing the right people into the position epidemic, and I will have to disagree. to watch our backs, so to say. We need There’s always been death with the use of beds on demand. That’s hurting us, that’s heroin, but not like today. killing folks. They call a detox and they have nothing available, they’re supposed

to call three days later. You can’t expect the epidemic to go anywhere when there’s not treatment on demand. We need more wraparound services. Spectrum does an awesome job with that, from the top all the way down to the bottom, when they’re released.

I was going to do it, but I knew that if I continued on that path I was going to be dead or in prison for the rest of my life. I reached out to a house called the Dismas House, and they accepted me, and that’s when the seed was planted, and I gave myself a chance.

What was it that influenced you to become a member at Everyday Miracles? I came here

The gangs are selling the drugs. How do we combat that? One, we have to have

just to play cards, man. It was a place to hang out and stay warm in the cold weather, catch a meeting. But I didn’t take the center as serious as I should have back then. I didn’t know about the resources available to me. I didn’t know how it was run. I just came here, played cards, and then something clicked and I wanted to get involved. The more I got involved, the more that passion was lit.

more programs in place for the juveniles. Okay, is it too late to save the ones that are in gangs? I’ll say no. Are we going to save them all? Or convince them all to stop gang-banging? No. It took me forever to finally realize that wasn’t the lifestyle I needed. But here I am today, a positive role model for others, I like to think, saying it’s possible. That being said, we need more programs for the individuals. We need to catch them You’re open about your past gang before they join the gangs. We have to involvement. What got you out of that get the gang members’ little brothers that lifestyle? I was involved very young in are idolizing their big brothers because gangs in my life. That was it. That vicious they’re in a gang. We have to grab them cycle of prison, street life, prison, street and show them another role model, that life, you know, something clicked that there’s other things out there. We have to I don’t want to live that life no more. I promote education and have after-school suffered so long living that lifestyle that programs. The gang task force is doing I woke up one day and I was 40 years old, a wonderful job, but they can only do so and I was like, “Geez, where am I heading? much. We have to stop locking everybody and what do I have to show for myself?” up for their addiction, also. I had nothing to show for that lifestyle. – Tom Matthews And I needed to change.
