PawSox to Worcester talk more than chatter Bill Shaner

A

s Worcester officials are scaling up efforts to court the Pawtucket Red Sox and a new ballpark, negotiations between the organization and Rhode Island appear stalled in the Legislature, and may fall apart.

Some Rhode Island lawmakers are calling for the entire $83 million funding deal, which has languished for months, to be scrapped entirely and replaced. Management for the Boston Red Sox’ Triple-A affiliate has indicated that may be a death nail in the negotiations.

The current deal, which would go toward a replacement for McCoy Stadium, would require $23 million in state funding and $15 million from Pawtucket. The Senate has held a dozen public hearings, and the Senate Finance Committee is expected to issue a white paper soon on the net benefits and losses of funding a ballpark project.

Meanwhile, in Worcester, the city has hired two consultants to more aggressively pursue negotiations with the club and, this week, city officials hosted PawSox higher-ups for a Worcester Railers hockey game – a morning game geared toward school kids, no less.

Among those spotted in Railers owner Cliff Rucker’s luxury box was Bill Wanless, senior vice president of communications. On Worcester’s side, Economic Development Director

Mike Traynor was also on-hand.

It was the latest of several trips PawSox officials have made to the city. In previous trips, PawSox management have toured the Canal District, where the most-often cited location for a new ballpark, the Wyman-Gordon lot, sits. The consultants, Andrew Zimbalist and Jeffrey Mullan are assisting City Manager Ed Augustus Jr. “with the preliminary work as we explore the possibility of bringing Triple-A baseball to Worcester,” he said in a statement.

“I have taken these actions in response to the City Council’s 8-1 vote asking that I do all that is reasonably within my power to facilitate bringing the ball club to Worcester,” he said.

In Rhode Island, the prospect of putting state and municipal money toward the ballpark has sparked a public debate. At a series of public hearings, fans touted baseball as part of the fabric of the community and an economic driver, while detractors said it isn’t prudent for the state to be spending money on a private venture. McCoy Stadium, which was constructed in the 1940s, is an iconic landmark in Rhode Island, but it fails to provide the amenities of a modern ballpark. The PawSox have indicated they want a replacement stadium built by 2020. Some fear if the Rhode Island Legislature delays any longer, the PawSox will be forced to move.

A rendering of the proposed $83 million ballpark in Pawtucket.

Earlier this month, Speaker of the House Nick Mattiello said it’s unlikely the House would take a vote on the $83-million funding bill this year. Personally, he said, he’s advocating for an entirely new deal, given some public opposition.

“There’s a lot of skepticism right now. I’m not sure that it’s being supported by the public, which I would absolutely require before even considering a deal such as this,” said Mattiello on a Nov. 6 GoLocal Live segment.

Other state leaders are less skeptical. Gov. Gina Raimondo came out recently saying the

deal does not need to be renegotiated, calling it a “good deal,” according to the associated press. Senate President Dominick Ruggerio called over the summer for a vote in November, though that now appears unlikely to happen.

Skepticism about public funding prevails in Rhode Island. Many feel it stems from the state’s disastrous $75-million investment in 2012 to 38 Studios, a video game studio headed by Curt Schilling, which fell apart months after. The skepticism has translated continued on page 7

{ citydesk } Teacher lobs plagiarism charge at Worcester State Bill Shaner

A

Worcester Public Schools teacher is accusing Worcester State University researchers of plagiarism after they released a report this week covering similar ground as the teacher’s 2014 doctoral dissertation.

Kerry Mulcahy, a teacher and former candidate for superintendent in Worcester, said in an email Tuesday she feels “very confident” the Worcester State report titled “A Study of ‘Eligible’ Voters in Worcester, Massachusetts” plagiarized her 2014 doctoral dissertation, titled “An Examination of School Committee Municipal Representation in the City of Worcester, Massachusetts.”

Mulcahy said the Worcester State researchers should have cited and credited her work, and that the analysis, methodology and data collection are “more than alarmingly similar to what I have written.”

“I feel that I have already written everything you have put in these six pages,” she said. “I feel very confident that this is plagiarism and as a result I am requesting that you retract your report.”

In the body of the email, she said she was writing under advisement of counsel from the University of Massachusetts President’s Office.

UMass Boston Director of Communication DeWayne Lehman said the issue is a private one and while she may have received advice on what to do (he couldn’t confirm that), “the university is not involved in this at all.”

Mulcahy received her doctorate from the university but is neither an employee nor a faculty member.

Worcester State researchers and management are looking into the matter, but declined to issue a comment by press time. Worcester Magazine will update the online version of

.

Headers of the two reports: Mulcahy’s in 2014 and Worcester State’s last week. this story when comment is provided.

Both reports analyze census data and Worcester polling data using GIS mapping tools. Both reports draw the conclusion that voter turnout among certain communities is lower than it should be, and more needs to be done to get the vote out. Census data, GIS mapping boundaries, and election data from the Worcester city clerk’s office are all frequently-used public data sets.

Mulcahy’s study, which was about 300 pages, focused on School Committee elections and how they determine the geographic, cultural and racial representations of School Committee members.

The Worcester State report, which was only

six pages and intended to serve as a precursor to a larger study, honed in on the difference between registered voters and those who are eligible but don’t register. The six-page report analyzes the past few presidential, midterm and municipal elections.

In her email, Mulcahy provided five examples of what she felt was plagiarism.

In the first, she outlines her methodology, which essentially involved layering Census tract data on population and racial composition on top of precinct-level voting data. She focused on four precincts.

“Please look again at what is written in your methodology section,” she wrote.

report, the researchers outline a similar process of layering census data over polling data, but not identical. While Mulcahy focused on four precincts, the Worcester State researchers mapped the whole city, focusing more on the divide between registered voters and people of age to vote.

The second example is one in which both reports advocate for an easier registration process.

Mulcahy wrote, “The lack of information available in advance of Worcester’s municipal elections often meant that the registration deadline had already passed before citizens were reminded of an upcoming opportunity to vote. Increasing public awareness of elections or shortening the registration window may allow more citizens to participate.”

The Worcester State researchers wrote: “The takeaway, again, is not that the registration regulation should necessarily be abrogated; rather, a large part of the city is constitutional-eligible to vote, and helping them to do so, legislatively or through education/outreach, would yield a more robust and inclusive voting franchise.”

Neither sentiment is new or novel. Advocates across the country have been encouraging governments to make registration easier for decades.

In her third example, Mulcahy lays claim to the concept of registered versus eligible votcontinued on page 7

W

hen all was said and done, some 16,301 voters did their thing Tuesday, Nov. 7 in Worcester’s municipal election. It represented a mere 15 percent of all registered voters, but in the end every incumbent among the at-large councilors scored a victory – save for one, who did, then didn’t, then maybe did, then really didn’t run for election. The winners included a councilor who switched over from his seat in District 5. That meant a new face from the west side, which ended up being Matt Wally. Another new face will also join the council in January, with Sean Rose eking out a win over fellow challenger Ed Moynihan. The other three districts – 2, 3 and 4 – saw the incumbents win.

On School Committee, a two-time incumbent lost her seat, with the only challenger finding his way onto the panel.

Here’s who Worcester Magazine sees as the biggest winners and losers in it all.

The city manager did not have to run for a seat, obviously, but he was a clear winner on Election Day. One of his bosses, who just happened to be his biggest critic, lost big time. With Mike Gaffney no longer on council as of January, Augustus’ time on the dais during Tuesday night council meetings just got a whole lot less uncomfortable. He had pretty much perfected the stone-faced look.

Now, maybe, he can relax a little. Sure, he still has At-Large Councilor Konnie Lukes to contend with, but even when she’s critical, Lukes does not demean or come off sounding like she wants to hit someone. For Augustus, the results signaled – or appeared to, anyway – contentment with where the city is heading under his direction.

{ citydesk }

Whether he claims to have run or not, the fact is Gaffney’s name was on the ballot. He was a candidate. And every move he made on social media and when he was at council meetings indicated a person who was not willingly giving up his seat. Personal reasons, they said, had Gaffney and his wife, Coreen announce, just weeks out from the election, that they would be unable to serve. But then, just days before the election, out went a

Worcester Democratic City Committee mailer quoting them on it – and endorsing a slate of Democratic candidates. Gaffney didn’t like it, so naturally he announced he and his wife would serve if elected. That, it seems, was the final straw. No less a staunch Gaffney ally than Aidan Kearney’s Turtleboy Sports blog actually turned against him. Whether it played a part or not, both Gaffneys finished last in their respective races: Coreen in District 4, where Sarai Rivera walloped her, 77-23 percent, and Mike in the at-large race, where he finished dead last in eighth place.

It was a mighty fall from grace for the man who ran for mayor two years ago and came in second in the at-large race.

WINNER: Joe Petty

You want mandate? Try winning 71 percent of the mayoral vote on for size. Lukes scored just 29 percent, evidence, she said, of “The Machine” and its hold on the Democratic base. Call it what you will, but Petty roars into a fourth term with the overwhelming support of voters in the city, at least among those who voted. He earned 11,105 votes for mayor and 10,026 to finish first in the atlarge race. He, too, will not have to contend with Gaffney. Lukes goes back to being vicechair, by virtue of finishing second in the mayor’s race and winning an at-large seat.

(Interesting fact: Did you know if no one runs against the mayor, the vice chair is elected by the council? Maybe, just maybe, that’s part of why Lukes stayed in the mayor’s race after Gaffney dropped out.)

LOSER: Konnie Lukes

OK, let’s get this straight. Lukes, for all her anti-machine bluster, is perennially a fairly decent finisher in the election. People seem to like what they perceive as her no-nonsense, straightforward approach. But has the welcome mat worn out? She barely retained a spot on the council this year, grabbing the sixth and final spot with 7,092 votes. She easily outdistanced seventh-place finisher Ben Straight, 5,335, but she did end up with the last seat.

WINNER: Local business

Some pretty business tax-friendly candidates won election to the council, namely Rose and Moynihan, which bodes well for business owners and potential businesses in Worcester. Setting the tax rate – which the new councilors won’t do this year – is often a messy affair, with residents pitching

{ citydesk } for relief and businesses looking for a more equitable share of the burden. For them, that means a continued move toward a single tax rate. It won’t – and shouldn’t – happen overnight, but it may well continue with the new council.

LOSER: Donna Colorio

I don’t really understand this one. Colorio, while she has been associated with the conservative crowd and part of the Gaffney circle, simply did not come off as nasty or somehow conspiring to hurt others. In fact, in this, her second go-round on the school committee, she seemed to be among the more rational voices. And she was a big supporter of Superintendent Maureen Binienda. The popular thinking is she simply went down with the Titanic because she was friendly with the crew.

WINNER: Dante Comparetto

Oh, it cost him, but Comparetto won in his first bid for elected office in Worcester. He finished fifth, not far ahead of sixth-place finisher Dianna Biancheria. Was it worth the $30,000-plus he spent to get there? You can bet his answer is yes. After all, the far-left progressive candidate bumped off his exact opposite in Colorio. The meager turnout, too, no doubt was a problem. Those who did vote came out in droves for more progressive candidates, which Colorio decidedly is not.

LOSER: Education Association of Worcester

The teachers union didn’t endorse a single woman for election to the school committee.

One of them lost. But the one the union heads probably wanted out the most, Biancheria, did not. She was not at all pleased with the union this year (she referred to them as Erase All Women when members rallied recently at city hall). It will be interesting to see how she interacts with them – and with EAW president Roger Nugent, in particular.

WINNER: Diversity

We’ve been harping on it for a while now.

City government needs to be more reflective

of the people it serves. City council now has four women on it, including a Latina in Rivera. Soon, it will boast two AfricanAmerican males, with At-Large Councilor Khrystian King retaining his seat, and Rose coming on board in January.

LOSER: Republicans

Not a one fared well this year – and that went for around the country as well. Democrats – progressives, in particular – enjoyed much success. In Worcester, with Rose and Wally on the council and Comparetto on school committee, moderate to progressive Democrats ruled election night.

WINNER: Gary Rosen

He’s baaack. Rosen returned to at-large council – and he did so in fine fashion, finishing in third place. Nostradamus himself, Gary Vecchio of WCCA-TV’s “Rosen’s Roundtable,” had long predicated a strong showing for Rosen. He got it, with 8,964 ballots cast in his favor.

WINNER: Kate Toomey

We’ll end with back-to-back winners.

Worcester Magazine did not endorse Toomey, and it didn’t matter. The well-liked councilor, who sees herself as among the most approachable councilors, came in second to Petty in the at-large race, with 9,547 votes.

into special scrutiny of the deal, and a call for the PawSox to open its books for legislators.

After some protest, the organization did, and the information is expected to be reflected in the Senate Finance Committee report.

All this has gone well past the time PawSox management initially allocated to work with Rhode Island. The company told the state if a deal had not been reached by July, the organization would start negotiating with other cities. Along with Worcester, other cities, including Springfield and New Bedford, have thrown their hat in the ring for the Triple-A club.

All this has public officials in Pawtucket a little nervous.

“It’s not hopeless, but we are very concerned,” said Pawtucket Director of Administration Tony Pires. “I would categorize that as an understatement.”

The city and its business and development continued from page 5

ers. In her paper, she reiterates the definition Worcester provides for an eligible voter in the context of discussing active ver The Worcester State report also defines eligible voters, but the context is different. The Worcester State researchers defined the term in an effort to show that the city’s definition includes registration to vote as a prerequisite for being counted. The argument the Worcester State paper makes is there are many people in certain neighborhoods who do not register. Mulcahy also makes this point later in her paper.

The fourth example points to both papers drawing essentially the same conclusion: that poorer and more diverse neighborhoods turn out to vote in local elections with less frequency.

Mulcahy wrote: “The data reveal a strong class bias, a race bias, as well as geographical biases that contribute to an elite voting culture that could construct inequalities of policy and service which signals institutional racism.”

The Worcester State researchers wrote: “To

partners have done the best job they can making their case, he said. A new ballpark would bring new jobs, new ancillary development and ultimately help foster a small but budding upward trend for the city, which just opened its first brewery and is slated for a commuter rail stop in 2020.

“Unfortunately,” said Pires, “we’re bogged down by the 38 Studios malaise that we have and the fact there’s a great deal of skepticism in regard to public financing.”

Jan Brodie, executive director of the Pawtucket Foundation, an organization aimed at fostering development in the city, said she remains optimistic, and characterized the slow movement in the Legislature as an exercise in abundant caution.

“I do think they’re staying here,” said Brodie.

Follow him on Twitter @Bill_Shaner. put a fine point on it, people of color in a city that touts its diversity are not participating in the electoral franchise as much as their white counterparts in part because of the need to register to vote in advance of an election.”

The point both are making is one that has been repeatedly reiterated by voting rights advocates for decades.

Mulcahy’s last example of what she feels is plagiarism are the GIS maps themselves.

In the Worcester State report, the researchers provided a series of maps of the city, showing the difference between turnout of registered voters, and turnout of people eligible to vote.

One map depicts the disparity in the 2016 presidential election. Another layers racial composition on top of the percentage of people eligible but not registered to vote, according to 2010 Census data.

Mulcahy said the maps are “very similar” to a handout she used in her dissertation. The map she included analyses turnout percentages among registered voters.

Mulcahy claims the GIS maps she created are “first of their kind in any study in the United States.”

IT’S TAX RATE TIME:

At what may be the briefest City Council meeting in recorded history, clocking in at 38 minutes (notice how there’s no council story this week), the councilors, fresh off their election campaigns, did at least one thing of note this week: they set the hearing date for the annual vote on the split property tax rate for the end of the month, Nov. 28. Councilor Moe Bergman also filed for a bit more information. With home value assessments on the rise, property taxes are expected to increase on the residential side. He wants the city to take a look, before the vote, at what putting more money back into the tax base from the $9 million budget surplus would do to affect property tax rates. According to Mayor Joe Petty’s tax policy plan, the city is slated to put about $1.7 million back into the tax base. Bergman’s report is an effort to look at whether or not the city should change that number.

As Bergman said Tuesday night, “The more information, the better choices we’re going to make.” Amen to that.

WEBSTER MOVES TO SINGLE: Speaking of

tax rates, another community around Worcester has made a concerted push to get rid of their dual tax rate. On Monday, Nov. 13, Webster selectmen voted unanimously to close the gap, according to the Telegram & Gazette, bringing the residential and commercial rates within a dollar of each other. Lowering the commercial tax rate, the thinking goes, encourages more businesses to open, shifting the tax burden over to the commercial side. It’s a direction Worcester has been moving away from the past few years, but maybe there’s something in the air this year and that will change.

OUR COUNCIL: Paul DePalo, local attorney

and head of the local Our Revolution chapter, has announced his intention for Governor’s Council.

The council doesn’t get much press, but it’s important. Judges nominated by the governor first need a vote of approval from the council. DePalo has promised to bring a social justice color to the judge, supporting judges who identify mass incarceration as a problem and rejecting judges who promote “tough on crime” policies that make the problem worse.

NEW CHALLENGER: It appears a Democratic challenger has stepped to the plate for the 17th Worcester District, currently held by Republican Kate Campanale. His name is David LeBoeuf, and he officially incorporated his campaign Friday, Nov. 3 with the Office of Campaign Finance. LeBoeuf is a former campaign manager for state Sen. Harriette Chandler, state Rep. Jim O’Day and others, and has held a host of jobs in the general progressive sector. As we’ve previously reported, Campanale has indicated she will seek the Worcester Register of Deeds seat held for decades by Anthony Vigliotti. She confirmed it with a kick-off on Thursday, Nov. 2. So far, a Republican challenger for the 17th Worcester seat, which covers south Worcester and Leicester, has yet to emerge. But give it time. This seat, held for years by the late John Binienda, has proven a swing and will likely be watched closely by both parties.

BY THE GRACE OF HOTEL GRACE: The Hotel Grace, a project started last year by local religious figures to provide relief to the city’s homeless population during cold stretches, reopened over the weekend. On Thursday, Nov. 9, Pastor Richie Gonzalez and Fr. John Madden reopened the basement of St. John’s Church at 44 Temple St. to the homeless as an emergency shelter. The shelter opened at 7 p.m. both Friday and Saturday as temperatures fell below freezing. The Hotel Grace is one of the most noble and altruistic things going on in the city right now, and deserves all the attention and praise that can be lavished upon it.

It also serves as a symptom of a problem. With only one triage homeless shelter, Worcester, the second-largest city in New England, is woefully under-equipped to assist its homeless population – so much so that private citizens are stepping up to fill the gap.

WRITE-IN RECOUNT: There’s a very unusual situation taking place up in Leominster. A writein candidate nearly beat the longtime incumbent mayor last week. But that’s not the weird part.

Now he’s calling for a recount. A write-in candidate. Calling for a recount. Write-in challenger Kennie Ricker lost by just 210 votes to mayor Dean Mazzarella, 4,530 to 4,320, according to the Telegram. What’s even weirder – he started the campaign just five weeks before the election.

What the heck? If he had mounted a real campaign like a normal person, Leominster would have a new mayor right now. But for now, we’ll be watching to see how the recount goes.

{ worcesteria } SECOND SUIT: A second lawsuit has been filed against the Mass. State Police in the altered

police report story that has already led to the early retirement of Colonel Richard McKeon and, earlier this week, the retirement of the second in command, Deputy Superintendent Francis Hughes. The complaint alleges the senior state police commander and public safety chief Daniel Bennett ordered underlings to destroy the original police reports and rewrite them.

That’s far more serious, and if true, the line towed by state police now, that higher-ups regularly edit officers’ police reports, would appear weak at best. Sending the original document through the paper shredder does not constitute editing. That suggests revisionism. What an ugly story this is.

JO HART HAS A DREAM: Jo Hart, one of the more outspoken speakers during the public

portion of City Council meetings, has a vision for a vibrant public market downtown. She filed a petition to have the manager look at what it would cost to acquire the former market building at 372 Main St. and convert it into a vibrant public market with shared ownership, co-op style.

“I think Worcester needs something,” she said, adding she lived by a public market once, and it was very nice. I think it’s a great idea, and apparently the city manager is already looking at it. So, cheers for pushing for a public market, Jo Hart. Let’s make it happen.

NEW FAÇADE: The library is getting a new entrance design on Franklin Street, according to the T&G. Thank. God. This is something I’ve thought about every time I’ve seen the library since moving to this city. Why, oh why, does the nice entrance face the parking lot and not the city common? The aesthetic of the common could be so drastically improved by a well-presented library entrance. Well, we might see one by about 2020. There’s an $88-million proposal on the table that’s scheduled to head into the design phase soon. What I’d like to know more about was the rationale behind the positioning of the building in the first place. Just doesn’t make any sense.

WHO DEFENDS THE DEFENDERS: As a sicko lib and/or crazy lefty and/or communist,

I’m all for workers organizing for better treatment, and consider myself fairly well-versed in the history of labor movements. But I was caught by surprise by this one earlier this week. Public defenders – yes, the attorneys brought on to represent people who cannot afford counsel – rallied across the state, including at the Worcester courthouse, for better wages, the right to collective bargaining and more job security. Public defenders are really a righteous bunch and deserve better than they get. The job is, simultaneously, completely thankless and completely necessary for the maintenance of a just judicial system. Hmm, completely thankless and completely necessary for a functioning society? Sounds familiar. I half joke about unionizing the Worcester Magazine staff about once a week and editor Walter Bird Jr. does his best to laugh it off.

SHORTFALL: The Worcester School Committee is looking to the city administration for

help with a $1.6 million budget shortfall. According to the T&G, school officials believe the shortfall is due to a number of things, including increased staffing needs, and could grow larger with the recent influx of more than 100 students from Puerto Rico fleeing the hurricane there.

The deficit is one that has to be closed by the end of fiscal 2018, next June.

DONATE NOW: Speaking of Puerto Rico, a drive to collect supplies for hurricane relief is about to come to an end. If you haven’t yet, head down to the Main South CDC (875 Main St.) between noon and 1 p.m. either tomorrow or Friday, Nov. 17 when the drive ends, to help out with the city’s Amor para Puerto Rico relief effort, headed up by District 4 City Councilor Sarai Rivera. Organizers are asking for hand sanitizer, flashlights, batteries, feminine hygiene products, diapers, insect repellant and Pedialyte®, specifically. They’re asking that you do not bring bottled water, food or clothing.

THE WOMAG HOUR: Just a little shameless plug here that I was in no way asked by anyone at all to do, seriously. I’m just excited about the prospect. So, to faithful readers of this column, I would like to advise you that Worcester Magazine has an hour-long radio program airing every day, 12-1 p.m. It started this week and it’s called the Worcester Magazine Radio Hour. It’s part of Hank Stolz and Ernie Floyd’s Unity Radio venture and Talk of the Commonwealth show.

My editor, Walter Bird is the host, and I’ll occasionally be on for this or that. It’s just another way for us to inundate you with more local news than any sane or reasonable person could handle.

That’s our specialty. And now we’re bringing it to the airwaves, too.

slants/rants Editorial

Arrest report flap not trivial

I

t’s not Watergate, but the handling of the Alli Bibaud arrest report controversy alone warranted the public scrutiny and outcry that arose.

Bibaud, in case you don’t know, was arrested last month for allegedly driving under the influence. She also allegedly had heroin in her possession. From what has been reported since, Bibaud also allegedly told state troopers who arrested her she had to perform sex acts with several people in order to get the drugs.

In addition, she allegedly offered to do something similar with the troopers in exchange for leniency.

What transpired after the report was filed is, itself, an indictment on the powers that be. We have been told by some it’s all much ado about nothing. What happened was, according to lawsuits that have since been filed and other reports, is that the arresting troopers were ordered to alter their original arrest report, mainly to scrub out the sex-related comments Bibaud allegedly made.

It was initially reported that the order to alter the reports came from on high. Just a few days ago, the man in charge of the State Police, Col. Richard McKeon, announced his retirement amid the controversy. The governor himself, Charlie Baker, said McKeon made a mistake getting involved.

Here’s one of the biggest problems with that: we have been told by State Police, District Attorney Joe Early Jr. and others that it is a matter of course to review and edit arrest reports. It happens all the time, some law enforcement officials say. Others, however, say that’s not true. Assuming it is true, why would the highestranking member of the State Police get involved in the arrest of a drug addict? Well, as it turned out, McKeon has a decades-long friendship with Bibaud’s father, Dudley District Court Judge Tim Bibaud, who has told Worcester Magazine he did not ask anyone to alter his daughter’s report. Someone did. At least according to the allegations, McKeon gave the trickle-down order for some of the more sensational language to be removed from the report.

Some, including Worcester Telegram & Gazette columnist Clive McFarlane, suggest the whole sad affair is nothing more than a power struggle between rank-and-file union troopers and the top brass. That’s hard to believe. Why would a cop with about a year and a half under his belt with the State Police risk his entire career just to win a pissing contest? It would seem we should take both troopers, who have filed lawsuits over the matter, at their word – that they were ordered to make changes to an arrest report they didn’t think should be changed. Others say the remarks never should have been included in the first place. If, in fact, Alli Bibaud made either or both those remarks, they very well could constitute a criminal act – prostitution, to get the drugs in the first place, and bribery, in allegedly offering sexual favors to the troopers in exchange for leniency.

Then again, this editor is not a cop. Two things stand out in this case: one, as an addict, Alli Bibaud is one of millions who have fallen prey to a predator whose grip often does not loosen until death. Second, McKeon should never have become involved in this. The mere fact he did is enough to create the perception of impropriety. Now, a dark cloud hovers over all involved.

During the holidays, everyone gets that special feeling warm and full of life. Even the grumpiest among us seem to crack a smile during this time of year. Just thinking about holiday music, twinkly lights, ugly sweaters and snowfall makes me giddy. I always wanted to be able to jump into my television when I watched holiday movies as a kid. I wanted nothing more than to live in Santa’s Village and celebrate Christmas all year long. My dream was, literally, to live in a Hallmark Christmas Special.

Since reality was far from living on a movie set with fictional characters inside a piece of digital equipment, my family would take me to events like Tower Hill’s Winter Reimagined.

Every year, Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston is turned into a winter wonderland.

While the winter season is long and the days are short, the event brings the season to life. During the evening, the gardens are illuminated to bring delight to thousands of visitors. They are decorated with sparkling lights, a magnificent collection of trees and shrubs, glowing walkways, sculptures, fountains and heartwarming decorations made from materials found in nature and the recycling bin.

Aside from the gardens, indoors there will be handmade ornaments inspired by nature, a wishing tree forest, an igloo made from milk gallons, and two towering conservatories packed with subtropical plants and holiday music. There is something for everyone in the family to do, including scavenger hunts, hot chocolate stations, and arts and crafts. After one visit, this event could become the holiday tradition your family needs to brighten up your winter season.

This event promises not only to fill you with holiday spirit, but will also put you in the spirit of giving. Tower Hill’s Winter

Winter in Bloom brightens the season

Alexa Currier

Winter can, at times, feel like it will never end. After the holidays are over, many New Englanders are over the frigid weather and persistent snow. By the end of January, most people are ready for spring to kick in, except they want to skip the awkward in-between filled with mud and rain, and jump right to the sunshine, vibrant green grass and blossoming flowers.

Tower Hill Botanic Garden’s Winter in Bloom offers just that. It allows visitors to prematurely experience the sweetsmelling, colorful season to give them a break from the cold winter months. The event includes five weekends of flowers

that are full of fun plant-related activities.

Winter in Bloom starts in early February and runs through early March. The event works to connect people with the environment, mainly plants. Each weekend offers knowledgeable guest speakers, hands-on workshops, film showings, tours of the conservatories and much more. A different flower show is featured during each weekend.

Also, during February break, Tower Hill hosts fun and educational activities for the kids to enjoy during school break.

Every year, more and more visitors travel to Tower Hill to see the luscious greenery, ripening fruit from the vine and flowers in bloom. Visitors are captivated by the appeal, the sweet smells, the colorful flowers, the feeling that spring is just around the corner. The event may just help you get out of the winter rut. Instead of going stir crazy inside the house, trying to avoid the cold and wet outdoors, admire the power Mother Nature has over our senses. A change in scenery can be the fix that we all need during the long winter months.

Winter by the Numbers in Worcester Walter Bird Jr.

C

omplaints about snowplowing in Worcester have risen to an art form. Nary a winter can pass by without folks complaining about to little snowplowing, too much snowplowing, too many cars towed, not enough notice on the winter parking ban – you name it, in winter, as Worcesterites we can find something to gripe about.

But how much do we really know about what goes on behind the scenes? Here’s a quick look by the numbers at winter in Worcester. A nod to the Department of Public Works & Parks’ Matt Labovites for providing the stats – and tidbits like the cost being higher to fight four 3-inch snow storms than one 12-inch storm.

Snowiest Winter: 1995-96 (138.25 inches) Second Snowiest Winter: 2014-15 (112.2 inches) Most Expensive Winter (over past 15 fiscal years): 2008-09 ($7 million-plus. Budget was $2.26 million) Salt Used: 10,000-11,000 tons (on average each winter) Spent Last Winter: $6.8 million Amount Spent on Plowing: $30,600-plus an hour (on average) Cars towed: 300-350 (on average each winter) Highest Plowable Point: Worcester Regional Airport (1,000-plus feet above sea level) Lowest Plowable Point: Lake Quinsigamond (360-375 feet above sea level) Number of Times Plowed Last Year: 14 Number of City Trucks Used: 50 (on average per winter) Total Number of Plows Used: 350-360 (city and contracted, per winter) WINTER ARTS continued from previous page

Area foster kids Rise Above

When the Rise Above Foundation was established back in 2009, its goal was simple: provide Massachusetts children in foster care enriching opportunities and experiences. As of this year, the foundation will have served 3,000 of the nearly 10,000 kids in foster care, 1,000 this year alone. With a new program called “Start Above” being piloted, and their original mission still going strong, the foundation’s goal of helping area youth rise above isn’t slowing down.

“Kids were missing out on cheerleading, guitar lessons, all of those things, anything,” according to Sarah Baldiga, co-founder and executive director of Rise Above.

The original vision for Rise Above came from Wade Sulzman and Mercedes RamirezNewkirk. Both were longtime state Department of Children and Families workers and realized the children in their significant caseload didn’t have money for extracurricular activities. Sulzman still works for the DCF, but Ramirez-Newkirk passed away in 2012 when she was 35.

The foundation fundraises privately through donations without state or federal grants. Proceeds go toward providing kids in the foster system funds for extracurricular and enriching opportunities.

“We’ve been really fortunate that we haven’t had to say no because of funding,” said Baldiga. “Sometimes, we’re only able to pay for a few months of an activity at a time, but that’s a smart thing, too. If a child wants to try dance, we’ll pay for a few months and if they want to keep going, we’ll keep helping. We sometimes can’t say yes to the full amount, but if it fits our guidelines, anything that is an extracurricular activity, we say yes.”

Baldiga said the average cost of the activities, which range from karate classes to school trips, is roughly $250-300.

“We have ones that are a lot less than that and some that are a lot more,” she said. “The most expensive ones we’ve helped with are for teens and young adults to help with study

abroad programs. We have a couple youth going to Europe this spring with their high school classes or foreign language classes.

Those have a few thousand-dollar price tags.

That’s an amazing experience, to be able to do that with your peers, it’s the ultimate fitting in. Your eyes are opened when you travel.”

The activities provided to youth in foster care do more than offer kids an opportunity to try new things; it is a way for kids, who are oftentimes in trying situations, to make friends and participate with their peers in a natural environment.

“It means fitting in and not having to sit out on the school field trip to Six Flags or Washington D.C., or being able to join the team, literally not being on the sidelines,” said Baldiga. “There’s great research about the benefits of physical exercise for kids and mental health for those kids that, in a lot of cases, have been the victims of abuse or neglect. They need these opportunities.”

Youth in foster care have often been uprooted and put into brand new situations during a period of development that can be trying for those in any situation, let alone those growing up in the foster system.

“Most of these kids are going to multiple foster homes,” said Baldiga. “Even if it’s just the one, they’re probably in a new school or community. The chance to make friends at karate or whatever activity, being introduced to a positive adult mentor like a coach or instructor, these are a nice complement to what the department [DCF] provides, which is therapeutic in nature. This is a natural complement to helping these kids heal.”

This year, the Rise Above Foundation is piloting a brand new program called Start Above. So far, the team has run one aim: completely furnishing the new home of a young woman who has come through the foster system, completed her education and moved into her first apartment.

“We helped a girl that graduated from UMass-Dartmouth last spring,” said Baldiga.

“She was moving out of her dorm room and we completely furnished her apartment. She had six crates of stuff. She was sleeping on an air mattress. We furnished her kitchen and living room and a bedroom set. It was pretty awesome. We had a group of volunteers helping set up the mostly Ikea furniture. It was amazing.

She said to us that she finally felt like she had a home for the first time in her life.”

ELIZABETH BROOKS

Sarah Baldiga is co-founder and executive director of the Rise Above Foundation. The foundation empowers children in foster care with enriching activities, opportunities and experiences.

Start Above has a second arm: furnishing homes for those “aging out” of foster care as well as the makeover of rooms for those still in the system. The brainchild of Rise Above board member Nicholas Pelletier, the goal is to provide a positive space for youth who need it.

Currently in the planning stages, Start Above is set to make over the bedroom of a 5-year-old girl that will be adopted on National Adoption Day, the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

Additionally, Rise Above sent out 178 care packages to area youth that grew up in foster care and are continuing their education in some way. Largely provided to those in four-year programs, there were care packages sent out to those in two-year programs and vocational programs as well.

“They get a 10-inch-by-10u-inch box filled with dorm snacks: Ramen, Easy Mac, granola and some hygiene stuff,” said Baldiga. “Some school supplies are in there, and there are always a gift card or two, for Starbucks or pizza. We’ve been doing that for five years.

It’s exciting.”

For a foster youth to be eligible for funds from Rise Above, a request and application is submitted online at weriseabove.org by anyone in the child’s life. That can be the foster parents, or social workers or even neighbors or attorneys.

With this year marking 3,000 foster kids served and 1,000 youth to be served by the end of this year alone, Baldiga and Rise Above are poised to help even more in the years to come.

“To me, it’s almost more exciting helping 1,000 kids in a year,” said Baldiga. “There are 10,000 kids in foster care here and we’ve served almost 10 percent. Our board and I are certainly really motivated to serve all of them.

Hitting 10 percent makes that sound achievable. It’s like, ‘We’ve got this.’”

Migration + Memory at Museum of Russian Icons

COLLECTION OF VLADIMIR AND VERA TORCHILIN, IMAGE COURTESY OF BALLETS RUSSES ARTS INITIATIVE

Joshua Lyford

The Museum of Russian Icons in Clinton holds one of the world’s largest collections of Russian Icons, but with Migration + Memory, an exhibition highlighting Jewish artists of the Russian and Soviet empires running through January 2018, and the corresponding conversation with the exhibition’s collectors Saturday, Nov. 18, 3-5 p.m., the museum will highlight art compiled during the waves of Jewish emigration through the 20th century.

The exhibition features nearly 100 works curated from the collections of Vladimir and Vera Torchilin, themselves Russian-Jewish emigrants with an extensive collection of works to display. The conversation with the artists taking place Saturday is a chance for visitors to hear their personal stories and experiences, and will be moderated by Anna Winestein, curator of the exhibition and executive director of Ballets Russes Arts Initiative, a nonprofit focused on the cultural exchange in visual and performing arts in the post-Soviet state.

“The conversation Saturday, it’s really trying to tease out the personal experience in assembling their collections, but also, in general, the experience of Jewish collectors in the Soviet Union,” said Winestein. “The Torchilins are from Moscow and I am from St. Petersburg. As the fortune of Jews evolved in the Soviet Union in the 20th century, so did the patronage, as well. We are talking about some different perspectives on that and trying to get the voice of the collectors. This will be the first time the public will really have the chance to connect with them.”

The Torchilin’s collection does not focus exclusively on Russian-Jewish artists, though the pieces being showcased do.

There were multiple waves of emigration from Russia during the 20th century and the exhibition features many of these periods of mass movement. The opening of Migration + Memory was held last month, just a few days before the anniversary of the October Revolution of 1917. The revolution itself massively shifted the landscape of the country and would go on to mark the beginning of the world’s first socialist state.

“A lot of these artist’s works were at risk of being lost to time,” said Winestein. “It was very difficult for people to continue making art. The kind of art they were making could be construed as antithetical to the regime, or too influenced by foreign cultures, or maybe they

Alexey Aizenman’s Moscow Landscape just had a problem with the Jewish artists.

Some of the artists in the show were making art secretly or privately. Maybe they were making some art that the regime wanted and some were making their own art.”

While the featured works are significantly different than the iconography the museum is largely known for, the spirit of the exhibition itself has ties with the museum’s overall mission.

“The mission of the museum is to not only preserve and collect these icons in this orthodox art, but also to foster cultural relations with Russia and help bring a better understanding of the Russian people,” marketing director Mary Delaney said. “[Gordon B. Lankton, founder of Museum of Russian Icons] had a great fondness for the Russian people. He went there a lot on business. That’s how this collection began. He fell in love with the icons and people. They were very kind to him. His collection grew so big he had to find a place to put it, so he opened a museum. The

exhibition fits into these goals of looking into to the curating of this exhibition.

“The very point of this event,” Winestein Russian history and culture.”

The exhibition highlights the works created said, “is not about general social history, during this period of massive political change, which is a key theme of the show. The point of the event is to be about the personal cultural shift and the emigration of Russian experience of collecting: what it was like to Jews, but the conversation between the collive as a Jewish collector and intellectual, lectors and Winestein will put words to some of those experiences that cannot be conveyed what that was like. There will be questions that I’ve prepared that I want to ask and hear without the experts. their responses, then I will be responding to “I hope it makes [visitors] think about the idea of immigration and help them have a the stories they tell because I know the history better understanding of the Jewish experience and context. I can get them to tease that out. in Russia,” said Delaney. “It’s very complicated. It’s sharing of stories and the people in the None of the experiences can be narrowed down audience can get a sense of what this is like. to a few words or a few paragraphs.

“White Sun,” which concludes Cinema 320’s fall series, is a movie that, once seen, compels you to learn more about the history and politics shaping it.

But here’s my advice: consult Wikipedia or another friendly information source before watching “White Sun” to get yourself up to speed on the Nepalese Civil War. It will enhance your appreciation of the plot, the people, and their plight.

The film is set post-civil war in a remote village where an old man has just died.

His son, Chandra (Dayahang Rai), a former rebel leader in the Maoist uprising against Nepal’s monarchy, returns home after a 10year absence to help transport his father’s body down a steep mountain path for a cremation ceremony.

The response to Chandra’s arrival is mixed at best. Some villagers resent his politics, chiding him for his role in usurping Nepal’s political and cultural traditions. His family tree is also twisty. Brother Suraj (Rabindra Singh Baniya) fought for the government in the war, and is more inclined to take a swing at Chandra than shake his hand (in fact, he does just that). Chandra’s ex-wife, Durga (Asha Maya Magrati), bore a daughter out of wedlock and now asks Chandra to sign papers claiming paternity so the girl can attend school.

Nepal has had quite a run of it in recent years, between the war and the devastating 2015 earthquake. The impact is etched in the faces of these characters, who wearily heed their daily rhythms despite feeling unmoored by changes in the regime and in the very

earth beneath their feet. The village elders cling to the old ways, which include loyalty to the monarchy and strict adherence to a discriminatory caste system. Political reform hasn’t done much to improve the lot of the local women, who serve at the will of the men — they’re even forbidden to partake in the funeral procession for Chandra’s father.

The soft-spoken, self-contained Chandra remains a mystery throughout “White Sun,” which is unfortunate. This character cries out for a backstory, beginning with his motivation for joining the revolution against the wishes of his family. Instead, much of the film involves Chandra wandering the countryside trying to recruit men — from local cops to guerrilla soldiers — to assist in carrying his father’s body down the mountain. Here, the story meanders, except for a lively sequence at the wedding of a party official’s son.

Chandra is savvy enough to ask for a special favor while the power broker is in a good mood — shades of “The Godfather” and Don Corleone’s obligation to grant favors on his daughter’s wedding day.

Cinema 320’s most recent movies — this one and last week’s “The Divine Order,” about Swiss women agitating for the right to vote — have hit during very interesting times, as women are emerging with stories of sexual harassment and assault. The character of Durga is a refreshing exception to the other women in her village: a resilient voice for resisting the conventions that have confined her to a life of servitude. Her only motivating force is to see her daughter educated. If civil war makes this possible, mission accomplished.

“White Sun” will be shown at 1 and 2:50 p.m. Sunday in the Jefferson Academic Center at Clark University. There is no Saturday show this week. The film is part of the Cinema 320 series.

SANDRA RAIN

309 Park Ave., Worcester • 508-752-8822 • babasushi.com

Consistency and sophistication reign at Baba Sushi Sandra Rain

For a long time, Baba was the only restaurant in this area to offer the true panache of a big city restaurant, its modern Asian decor and unassuming sophistication setting it apart from the rest of Worcester’s dining scene. That is, objectively, no longer true. With more options on the horizon for local patrons, including at least one new sushi spot to which this magazine recently awarded four out of five stars, one would suspect the buzz around Baba might finally begin to fade into more of a murmur.

On the contrary, the converted residential space at 309 Park Ave. is teeming with customers who are as fresh as its sashimi. A new crop of diners seem to unearth Baba each week. Once referred to by locals as “Boston-caliber,” Baba has effectively set its own superb standards, granting it a unique identity all its own and raising the bar for other Worcester proprietors.

The space itself is cramped, if not intimate.

Winter coat season just about guarantees you’ll be bumped or jostled on your next visit.

Those willing to squeeze past the bar and navigate the dimly-lit dining room will find Baba’s rear annex a bit more spacious. Here, a melodic fountain and a slew of petite bamboo tables offer a welcome view of the sushi chef working diligently at his station.

Service is warm and informative, though spread thin at times. Neither the menu nor the wine list changes with any frequency, ensuring servers can offer guidance and opinions on nearly every dish. On busy evenings, it can take upwards of 30 minutes

from the time your chopsticks hit the empty plate until you settle up the bill, though not for lack of urgency on the staff’s part. Visitors will likely spot owner Wilson Wang, who was trained at Oishii in Chestnut Hill, as he breezes back and forth between Baba and his neighboring venture, Chuan Shabu. He also operates the sister Baba Sushi in Sturbridge.

Guests should not limit themselves to sushi, but should opt as well for a few of the starters, including the Baba oyster shooters ($5), each one served with a quail egg yolk that slides past the lips in a briny and tropical flood of the senses. It is wise to request an order of the hamachi kama ($14), a double-baked, tender yellowtail jaw served with teriyaki sauce, but quantities are supremely limited.

The staff will suggest the “Tartaki Trio” ($23), referred to on most Japanese menus as tataki or tosa-mi. The seared maguro (bluefin tuna), shiro maguro (escolar) and sake (salmon) are served with distinctive sauces that reveal Wang’s aptitude for identifying a unique balance to reckon with the American palate.

Likewise, the edamame ($6) demonstrates a sense of control with its simple and even seasoning. The jalapeno yellowtail ($12) is Baba’s ultimate demonstration of refined restraint in its presentation of a narrow plate

of yellowtail sashimi infused with citrus sauce and delicately-topped with jalapeno and caviar. The dish offers a wet, bright heat that is at once jolting and refreshing.

Still, a trip to Baba is incomplete without sushi rolls. The cucumber sashimi continued on page 36

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!

Two minutes with...

Christina Andreoli

Christina Andreoli attended high school at Notre Dame Academy, where she was naturally drawn to language arts and writing. After completing one of the oldest and most prestigious public relations programs in the country at Syracuse, she returned to work in PR for Fallon Community Health Plan in Worcester. It wasn’t long after her homecoming that Michael O’Brien called Andreoli to ask her to support him in his role as city manager. Today, Andreoli works hand in hand with the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce as president of Discover Central Mass., which serves as a tourism and travel agency for the region. Andreoli’s focus on cities and towns in the region allows her to spend her days promoting and marketing Central Mass. in a positive light. It is her goal to make residents of the area proud of where they come from, just as she is proud of Worcester. Andreoli is also a loving mother to her two daughters.

What is your history with the city of Worcester? I grew up here. I went to high

school in Worcester and have lived in the area my entire life. My parents are from Grafton Hill and Vernon Hill. My grandmothers still live at Mount Carmel on Shrewsbury Street. My great-uncle was the first Worcester native to be killed at Pearl Harbor, at the tender age of 18. This is my home, it is my family home and it is my children’s home. I had an amazing opportunity to work for the city of Worcester under the former city manager, as his chief of staff. It was an awesome experience and I felt like I was able to contribute to my community in so many different ways. I learned about every nook and cranny in the city, I like to think.

I also got to work with really dedicated people at City Hall and throughout the city. I know first-hand the hours and time and passion municipal employees put into their jobs.

Can you explain your personal career trajectory? I graduated from Syracuse

University with a degree in public relations and public policy. After a short stint in NYC, I wanted to come back home and I certainly feel like this is where I want to be for the rest of my career. I want to continue to work in Worcester. I can honestly look back 10 years and see how

54

ELIZABETH BROOKS

much change and progress has happened in this city, and I want to be here 10 years from now, saying, “Wow, it just keeps getting better.”

Where do you see the strongest partnerships taking shape in Worcester? There are

partnerships all over this community.

We achieve so much more when we work with others in a collaborative way. Some partnerships that I am particularly proud of are the hospitality industry coming together to market and promote the city as one, helping to build school libraries with City Manager Ed Augustus Jr. and many others, and working with an awesome team of people to bring Leadership Worcester back. I’m so proud of the city and how many people want to work toward a greater good, especially in what are really troubling times for our country.

What is the vision of Discover Central Mass. for the future of Worcester? Our vision

for Discover Central Massachusetts is to promote and market Worcester and the region as a destination that visitors recommend to friends and family, meeting and event planners choose as a location for their events, residents are proud of, and investors seek out for development opportunities.

WORCESTERMAGAZINE.COM • NOVEMBER 16, 2017

How has the Worcester Women’s Leadership Conference grown in recent years and what can we expect to see this year? The

Worcester Women’s Leadership Conference is one of my favorite Worcester events.

We have a fantastic committee of over 40 women who are so passionate about helping women to rise in their careers and in their personal lives. The conference has become so popular. Last year, we had close to 800 women, fantastic speakers, including Alison Levine, who climbed Mount Everest not once but twice, and tons of women-owned businesses selling their wares. It was a great day for all. We are now in our ninth year. Next year is the Big 10. We have great things planned for this year and next. The conference is scheduled for Thursday, May 3.

Please share a few of the can’t-miss events for this holiday season in Central Mass. If

someone tells you there is nothing to do, first, tell them they are wrong, and second, direct them to our website at www.discovercentralma.org. I’m headed to a bunch of events with my kids this season, including Cirque du Soleil Crystal at the DCU Center, The Nutcracker at The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts, Festival of Lights on the Worcester Common, and one of my favorites, the annual Festival of Crafts at the Worcester Center for Crafts.
