t’s hot. When it’s hot in the city, the city heads to the beach. With the recent rash of beach closings in the Worcester area, I got to thinking - what is the state of Worcester’s water? Has it improved over the years? Has it become worse? Does the city test for water quality and if so, how often, and what are they looking for? What urban factors effect its beaches and swim holes? These are questions I asked Walter Bird Jr. to uncover for us in this week’s cover story, and what he found may - or may not - surprise you. —Doreen Manning | Editor

Council moves forward on anti-panhandling plan Plan mimics 2005 initiative Jeremy Shulkin
I
n response to comments from city councilors earlier this summer, the City of Worcester has drafted up a plan to combat the increasing number of panhandlers standing on sidewalks and intersection medians. “My biggest fear is someone is going to get killed. It’s only a matter of time before someone gets hurt,” Mayor Joe Petty told Worcester Mag this month [“Spare some changes?” July 12, 2012], framing the issue as a public safety hazard. “You see people actually in the streets soliciting money. I think it’s a serious issue and one that needs to be addressed,” City Councilor Kate Toomey said at the June 26 city council meeting. She recalled individuals who would knock on car windows asking for money or who were disrespectful to their surroundings. “We need to tell people how to deal with it...an educational program.” The plan, drafted by the city, aims to reduce instances of panhandling via an awareness campaign that will encourage motorists to put their well-intentioned money into the hands of social-service agencies rather than individuals at intersections, as well as see the city work in concert with the Southern Middlesex Opportunity
Council (SMOC, the organization that runs the triage center) to “comb city streets, sidewalks, parks, bridges, etc., during both business and nonbusiness hours to assist individuals engaged in panhandling who may be in need of services,” City Manager Michael O’Brien wrote in a communication to the council. On Tuesday the council voted to send the plan to the Public Health subcommittee with little comment, though Petty called it “excellent” and added it addressed “treatment, tracking, enforcement, public education. I think it was all in there.” O’Brien further explained that SMOC’s outreach worker would help connect panhandlers with resources like job opportunities, food pantries, food stamps and fuel assistance through the Greater Worcester Housing Connection Team. The 2012 strategy is causing some déjà-vu from those in social-service agencies as the themes of the plan mirror a similar initiative put in place in 2005, which featured billboards, flyers and public announcements asking motorists to give to agencies rather than panhandlers along with a Community Healthlink employee doing outreach. In a number of places, language in the 2012

plan is word for word with what’s written in the 2005 Action Plan to Reduce the Incidents of Panhandling. “I think there’s a lot of similarity between 2005’s plan and the current plan,” says Community Healthlink CEO Deborah Ekstrom. “This is a dynamic issue as old as cities: poor people ask for money, people give it to them.” “Most of the people panhandling now are not homeless,” says Ekstrom. “They need money,” she adds. For some, there’s little agencies can do if someone’s already receiving all the assistance they qualify for. “It does seem a lot like back to the future,” says Dave McMahon of Dismas House but he’s “cautiously optimistic” that the outreach angle will show success. “I think it’s heading in a good direction. Any penny spent on this should be on outreach.” Still, the city maintains the practice of educating people to give to charities rather than to individuals is best practice. “A more common and effective response in many communities has been public education to discourage donations and encourage people to redirect those same dollars to agencies that provide services and treatment,” the 2012 plan says.

The city’s report cites Veterans Inc. as a social-service provider that doesn’t allow panhandling from those using its services. “I would ask that people support a local charity with the expertise in providing services to those most in need instead of directly donating to a panhandler,” says Veterans Inc. president and CEO Vincent Perrone. They have their reasoning for it. “When we become aware of a panhandler in the Worcester area, we dispatch an outreach team and offer food, housing referral and assistance with finding work or assistance with applying for disability benefits. Almost without exception, the panhandler refuses our offer,” says the nonprofit’s executive director Denis Leary. “For the most part the panhandler is simply looking for cash. Not food, not housing, not work.” In many cases, he adds, it’s to support an addiction. “For that reason,” he continues, “the Veterans Inc. Client Policy Agreement prohibits panhandling by any of our clientele, and violation of the agreement can lead to dismissal from our programs.” “This type of policy may need to be evaluated and implemented by other partnering agencies,” O’Brien wrote in the latest plan, crediting Veterans Inc.
For some, there’s frustration that the plans are so similar. Those outside of city government have blasted the 2005 plan for further stigmatizing panhandlers, and it even drew rebukes from the religious community in the form of letters and sermons seven years ago. With the language so similar between 2005 and 2012, they’re not encouraged that this round will be successful. “Some have legitimate reason to be [panhandling] and some of them don’t. It’s hard to pass judgment on them,” warns McMahon. Still, he says, the outreach component is key. McMahon doesn’t think every panhandler will be taken out of intersections because of it, but it could steer people with mental-health issues or substance-abuse problems to some needed interaction with human-service agencies. One important phrase omitted from the 2012 report (and a practice that was defended in the city’s 2005 report) was “tag days” – the tradition of fundraising with a once-a-year permit to raise money for sports teams or other causes by flooding intersections with bucketcarrying teens and adults. As part of Petty’s public-safety aspect to eradicate panhandling, he identified tag days as unsafe, inviting of injury (or
worse) and interfering with traffic. Some councilors were quick to defend the tradition. “You hope these groups use judgment about how old the children are going out there...but I don’t think we’re looking to ban Doherty baseball or South High baseball from going out there,” said City Councilor Bill Eddy at the June meeting. “I think we need to be careful about this.” “My concern is there are so many little leagues and football leagues and the like,” District 3 councilor George Russell said following Eddy’s remarks, worrying that any limitation on panhandling would impact tag days as well. Though not mentioned by name, Petty said tag days were addressed in the plan through stronger enforcement of current tag day regulations. He didn’t rule out directly addressing them sometime in the future. The city is directing residents to call 508-929-1300 to report instances of panhandling. O’Brien wrote that a campaign with public service announcements through social media, print, broadcasting and billboards will be unveiled in a separate upcoming report.

{ worcesteria } PARTY POOPERS:
As the Republican National Convention draws near, some of the Massachusetts Republicans who won spots as delegates – beating out high proďŹ le GOP names like former Lt. Gov. Kerry Healy, Worcester County Sheriff Lew Evangelidis and 2010 gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker — are battling back after receiving a letter last month saying they refused to afďŹ rm they would vote for presumptive presidential nominee Mitt Romney would instead defect to Ron Paul’s camp, giving the party credence to deny their certiďŹ cation as delegates. The group, many from Worcester or the Worcester area, deny their intent to vote for anyone but Romney, assert that the state party is breaking its own bylaws and have hired attorney (and 2010 candidate for congress) Robert Delle to threaten the state GOP with an injunction and charges of election fraud. Rumor has it that Delle has already sent a notice of litigation to state party chair Robert McGinn, though word from Liberty Slate organizer Brad Wyatt, one of the booted delegates, is that a lawsuit doesn’t look likely until after the Republican National Committee’s Committee on Contests looks at the case.

THOSE TRICKY OPEN MEETING LAWS:
There’s been a lot of talk recently about the city council and open meeting law. Last week we wrote about morning talk radio host Jim Polito’s quest to charge the council with an OML violation after a report that councilors conspired to have the City Manager switch his public appearances on radio station WTAG from the morning show to Jordan Levy’s afternoon slot, but last week saw two more charges surface from residents Nicole Apostola and Kevin Ksen over communication related to the latest plan to combat panhandling. Apostola charged that the council, speciďŹ cally Mayor Joe Petty, introduced the request for a plan on panhandling and tag days during the part of a meeting that’s under suspension, meaning it wasn’t listed on the publicly available agenda. “This is not a topic that required immediate action, and it is one that in the past has generated much public discussion,â€? she wrote. Ksen charged that councilors broke quorum by using “serial communicationâ€? to poll whether or not each councilor would like to sign onto the panhandling item – likely the reason why many controversial items appear on agendas with a majority or near majority of councilors’ names already attached as indicators of yes or no votes. The complaints appeared on Tuesday’s council agenda for the City Solicitor to examine.
HERE’S A SOLUTION‌: Even if it’s ruled that
no open meeting laws were broken, it’s still worth keeping in mind that when six or more councilors know before a meeting that they have the votes to pass something it takes meaningful debate and discussion out of the public realm. Boston’s city council instituted a policy a few years ago that does not allow more than two councilors to sponsor an agenda item before a meeting because of concerns about irting with OML violations and the perception a discussion was had without public access. ‌ While the council did not address Apostola or Ksen’s charges, Konnie Lukes had potential open meeting violations in mind on Tuesday when she asked that councilors end their custom of visiting a bar or restaurant after council meetings. “The custom is one that was generating a whole lot of congeniality ‌ [but] we’ve got to be like Caeser’s wife - completely above reproach,â€? she said, while maintaining that no OML violations occurred, she said the perception invites trouble. The council disagreed, voting 10-1 against her. We’re guessing they didn’t have to do any serial communication for that one.
PALLADIUM PLANS: Fans of the Palladium are organizing a rally on Thursday in front of Worcester City Hall at 4:45 p.m. before a Worcester Historical Commission meeting in the hopes that the board won’t provide a demolition waiver to the building’s owners who are threatening to tear it down after their taxes jumped $42,000 in one year because of a dramatically increased assessment. “That’s a building we can’t lose,â€? says one of the rally’s organizers, Deb Powers (Power’s son started a Facebook group to save the building last month after Worcester Mag ďŹ rst published the rumor that the owners were eyeing demolition paperwork). “We’re trying to make some noise and raise some publicity around the issue.â€? Powers says not allowing demolition for 12 months will give the community time to ďŹ nd a way to keep the building standing. ‌ The ďŹ ling period for abatements has ended and according to city assessor Bill Ford the Palladium’s owners have ďŹ led with the city, but no income information or other supporting documentation has come into the ofďŹ ce.

Worcester taxpayers want nonprofits to pay up Gary Rosen
O
ne of the best things about living in Worcester is the array of services that the city provides. Quality schools, police, fire, public works, public health, parks and library are among the many services that we all need, use and appreciate. But the residential, commercial and industrial property taxpayers of this city pay through the nose four times per year for those services. Many agencies use the same services, but they make the rest of us pay their share. I refer to the city’s nonprofit organizations, which are called 501(c)(3)s under the U.S. tax code. By law, these educational, charitable and religious institutions are exempt from paying local taxes on the property they use for educational purposes. This indirect subsidy by the government serves as an acknowledgement of all the good that these agencies do. We all benefit from their work and we are thankful that they are part of the Worcester community. However, the people who do pay the bills, the overtaxed property owners of Worcester, need immediate relief. As a result of the city’s recent triennial revaluation, many homes and businesses have been over assessed. Add to the mix inflated dual (and dueling) residential and commercial tax rates, and it’s no wonder that so many taxpayers are looking to put the squeeze on our nonprofits. These taxpayers expect our larger educational, charitable and religious tax-exempt institutions to enter into voluntary PILOT (payments in lieu of taxes) agreements with the city. While the law shields nonprofits from the payment of property taxes, it doesn’t forbid them from compensating municipalities by making voluntary payments. Not surprisingly, many cities have been more successful than Worcester has been in getting their nonprofit groups to ante up. Evidently their elected and appointed officials are not timid about seeking recompense from nonprofits with substantial real
Letters
estate holdings. While those officials boldly make the ask, our city manager, mayor and councilors are reluctant to hit our larger nonprofits up for voluntary partial payments for the costly services they use. The city already has PILOT agreements with the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Clark University. Collectively, these colleges will dip into their substantial endowments and voluntarily pay millions of dollars to the city over the next 20 years. These three colleges get it. They understand that their PILOT agreements are mutually beneficial to them and to the city. Much of their generosity is earmarked to support the Worcester Public Library, an institution that provides direct benefits to their students. Then there’s the College of the Holy Cross. For decades, this top-notch academic institution has cost city taxpayers plenty for public safety and public health. Because inept college officials have been unable to stop the out-of-control off-campus parties and drinking binges of hundreds of their privileged students, we taxpayers must foot the law enforcement bill. I appreciate that Holy Cross is sponsoring Libby, our new bookmobile, at $75,000 for each of five years. However, the college refuses to even call that a PILOT payment because it never intends to enter into a payment in lieu of taxes agreement with the city. So much for setting an example of responsibility for its students. Worcester’s larger nonprofits, including colleges, hospitals, social service, cultural and religious institutions, must stop hiding behind the law to avoid making minimal annual payment for city services. The argument that they already do so much good for our city rings hollow with cash-strapped taxpayers, many of whom volunteer countless hours and make substantial charitable contributions. So far three colleges have stepped up. Let’s hope that several more nonprofits soon follow their example.

I am generally more bothered by local sports teams collecting money. I get absolutely fed up driving through, say Tatnuck Sq or Mill St/Chandler near Tatnuck Sq, and the streets are packed with 10-6 year olds. It’s a danger to the kids, an annoyance to motorists, and a hindrance to regular traffic. While aggressive panhandling bothers me (being accosted at a traffic light), I’ve generally found the Worcester panhandlers to go after low-hanging fruit, people who are likely to give money, and panhandlers bother me far less than the local sports teams who put kids in danger.

Worcester water at risk Walter Bird Jr.
Lori Silverman stood ankle deep in cool water inside the roped-off area at Regatta Point along Lake Quinsigamond. Just a few feet away, a relative floated face down, looking up with a smile on his face as Silverman said something to him. Two other women and a young girl, also relatives, waded out of the lake toward their towels and seats. It was midmorning on a Friday, two days after the Fourth of July. The beachfront wasn’t nearly as crowded as it was for Independence Day, dotted by only a handful of sunbathers and swimmers. Those who were there were laughing, talking or just soaking up the early-
“My husband kayaks here,” said Silverman as she scanned the lake. Silverman and her husband reside in Shrewsbury, which joins Worcester in abutting Lake Quinsigamond. “He loves coming here. He’s not worried about it. I did ask him, ‘Can you swim in the water? I know you can boat in it.’ He kayaked along here yesterday and checked it out and said it looked fine. People were on the beach. Where else would I go?”
WATER AT RISK
Actually, in Worcester, there are plenty of options. In addition to the staterun Lake Quinsigamond, Worcester has four beaches of its own - Bell Pond on Belmont Street, Coes Pond on Mill Street, Indian Lake at Sherburne Avenue and Shore Park Beach, which is also on Indian

Lake Quinsigamond, however, faces constant threats of contamination for many reasons, including blockages in the city’s sewer system that frequently dump hazardous runoff into the water and raise bacteria counts to potentially dangerous levels. In addition to being red-flagged at two spots last month – at Regatta Point and Lake Park – the lake was targeted once more on Friday, July 13, when a sewer overflow around 83 Lake Ave. resulted in unsafe levels of enterococci – a bacteria found in human and animal waste. Health officials advised people not to swim, bathe or fish in the area south of the Kenneth F. Burns Memorial Bridge on Route 9 to Anna Street on the Worcester side of Lake Quinsigamond. In addition, the state Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) issued a “swim at your own risk” advisory at Regatta Point and Lake Park Beach. On Sunday, July 15, after testing new samples, the DCR instructed city officials to announce Regatta Point and Lake Park Beach were safe again. The warnings were the first this year at a recreational body of surface water in Worcester. Surface water is the term used in reference to streams, lakes, rivers, oceans and wetlands – water collecting on the ground. There are more than a dozen such areas in Worcester, not all of them for recreational use. During the summer, those that are recreational lure swimmers, “tubers,” water skiers, boaters and kayakers. The lakes, ponds and streams are also attractive to casual and seasoned anglers hoping to catch “the big one.”

Lake. Outside of the city, there are other popular swimming spots, such as Mill Pond in Shrewsbury. Not unlike Quinsigamond, all are at risk on a daily basis of becoming unsafe because of contamination.
for public use is a top priority for the city – and a challenging one. Maintaining healthy water ways is a daily, weekly and monthly chore for local, state and federal officials – and it is made all the harder by the challenges presented by an urban environment. The types of threats to recreational water that exist in all communities are greater in number and in potential
hazard in a city setting; there are more pollutant and contamination sources in a place like Worcester. City officials understand this reality and don’t shy away from it.
“We recognize that beaches and recreational water ways are a priority for people and that makes them a priority for us,” says Phil Guerin, director of Environmental Systems for the city’s Department of Public Works. “Prime recreational water ways are the highest priority, because they have bathing beaches. We use those beaches as a marker for what the most important areas are.”
WATER TESTING
Test results for the city’s beaches over the past five years reveal that focus is paying off. In 2011, 28 different tests at Bell Pond, Indian Lake, Shore Park and Coes Pond found Escherichia coli (E. coli) levels all within acceptable limits. In order to pass a test, a water sample must yield less than 235 bacteria colonies per 100 milliliters. Coes Pond has been a trouble spot in the past, failing four tests from 2007-2009. It has passed every test since. Those areas are tested at least once a week in the city. Other areas are tested on a monthly basis. James Bonafiglio plays a major role in water testing. He is the lab director at the city’s water filtration plant. Mostly, Bonafiglio tests the drinking water and provides daily and monthly reports. The lab also tests culverts and helps detect breaches in sewer lines by testing samples for fecal coliform. Bonafiglio also performs tests on recreational water samples, including the recent samples from Lake Quinsigamond that were found to be contaminated, about which he says, “It’s not totally clean to start off with.” The testing process is rigorous and

is both DEP- and EPA-approved. In all tests, the samples incubate for 24 hours before they are determined whether to be contaminated.
ON THE STATE LIST
Lake Quinsigamond has proved problematic. It landed on the state Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) 2008 Integrated List of Waters as a Category 5 water way because of excessive algal growth and aquatic plants. Category 5 water bodies are impaired or threatened for one or more uses and required a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). A TMDL is basically a “pollutant budget,” which indicates the amount and levels of pollutants and contaminants a body of water can sustain while remaining healthy enough
for its assigned uses. Quinsigamond is among the bodies of water considered “primary contact” and “secondary contact” waters, because it is swimmable and also supports socalled secondary contact activities, such as boating and fishing. To control the growth of aquatic plants and algae, the TMDL for Quinsigamond targeted the amount of phosphorous the lake could tolerate.
A water body on the state’s Integrated List of Waters will fall under one of five categories, the worst essentially being Category 5. Waters in that category have been deemed impaired or threatened for one or more uses and constitute the state’s 303(d) list. All Category 5 waters require a TMDL. Once that has been completed, a body will be removed from the category and labeled Category 4a. In 2010, Lake Quinsigamond was designated Category 4a. A new List of Integrated Waters is released every two years. The 2012 list is currently being drafted, according to DEP spokesperson Joe Ferson. Worcester had seven water bodies listed as Category 5 on the state’s 2010 list: Burncoat Park Pond; Middle River,
from the outlet of Coes Pond to the confluence with Mill Brook; Blackstone River, from the confluence of Middle River and Mill Brook to Fisherville Dam in Grafton; Beaver Brook, from north of Flagg Street School to the confluence with Middle River; Mill Brook, from the outlet at Indian Lake to Middle River; and Tatnuck Brook, from the outlet of Holden Reservoir 2 to the inlet of Coes Pond; and an unnamed tributary, from the outlet of Leesville Pond to the confluence of Middle River. They were not areas where people go swimming. They landed on the list for various reasons, including unacceptable levels of nutrients, excess aquatic plants and trash. In addition, several segments of the Blackstone River, which has been plagued by contamination stemming back to days when industrial mills dotted its landscape, fell under Category 5. A segment of the river in Worcester was on the list, because of excess nutrients, debris, lead, fecal coliform and other contaminants. Normally, nutrients are a good thing. In water bodies, however, too much of a good thing becomes harmful. Excess nutrients in streams and lakes can lead to an overgrowth of algae, which in turn can result in dissolved oxygen. That can lead to bacteria growth and the introduction of dangerous parasites. Too many nutrients can cause eutrophication, pollution caused when nitrogen, phosphorous and other nutrients overpopulate the water, according to the World Resources Institute.

COUNCIL ADDRESSES LAKE QUINSIGAMOND CLOSINGS Jeremy Shulkin
A
fter beach closings on the Worcester side of Lake Quinsigamond at the beginning of July and again on Friday, July 13, District 3 City Councilor George Russell quizzed Department of Public Works Commissioner Robert Moylan at Tuesday’s city council meeting on the cause of the elevated bacteria levels. In a report to councilors, Moylan blamed the July 13 issue on a blocked sewer pipe near the Lake Avenue Sewer Pump Station which caused sewage to spill into the lake. The blockage, caused by loose gravel stemming from the roadwork being done on Belmont Street, “was freed in less than 60 minutes after the sewage was observed at the outfall,” he wrote. “Based on a number of factors, we estimate that the blockage existed for 1 to 3 hours.” He added that Regatta Point was not impacted by this because of the flow of the lake, though because of the water testing schedule, it was closed as a precautionary measure. “The DPW&P works assiduously to avoid [sanitary sewer overflows],” Moylan continued. “However … having a complex system of over 660 miles of sewer pipes with some segments over 150 years old, SSOs will occur with greater frequency than in a newer system. In fact, SSOs occur in all sewer systems.” In fact, Moylan said Worcester sees about 20 SSOs per year; however, media coverage put a spotlight on the latest issues. He added at the meeting strong words for those looking to find fault. “For anyone that looked at this and wanted to be critical, there’s nothing to be critical about. It’s a fact of life... The system worked essentially the way the system was supposed to work.” Moylan added he couldn’t speak to the July 3 closing of the beach, as that call came from Inspectional Services, not DPW.

WHAT ISTHE PROBLEM?
the Blackstone Watershed on the state’s 2010 List of Integrated Waters. The Blackstone River, in some segments, had huge amounts of pollutants. Much of them were found in towns such as Blackstone, Millville and Grafton – old mill towns where cleanup has taken many years.
Sutton matched Worcester with seven Category 5 waters, including Aldrich Pond, Manchaug Pond, Marble Pond, Number 1 Pond, Sutton Falls, Welsh Pond and Woodbury Pond. In most cases, the cause was aquatic plants. Turbidity, or cloudiness of the water caused by mostly invisible particles, was also cited in some cases. According to Donna Williams, vice president of the Blackstone River Coalition (BRC), “Worcester is improvingâ€? in its overall water quality. The BRC has been working to make the Blackstone River swimmable by 2015. Its efforts include water-quality monitoring and community outreach and education, among other things. According to the group’s last “report cardâ€? in 2011, Worcester water ways fared well in most categories compared to others in the watershed. The coalition monitored 14 water-body segments in Worcester and rated them in ďŹ ve categories: aesthetics (turbidity, odor, etc.), temperature, dissolved oxygen, saturation percentage and nutrients (nitrate and orthophosphate). Just four areas ranked “poorâ€? in two categories. All four segments – Tatnuck Brook, Beaver Brook and two along Broad Meadow Brook – rated poor in aesthetics. One segment of Broad Meadow Brook also rated poor in nutrients.
In Worcester, environmentalists and ofďŹ cials see two factors as the main culprits when it comes to threatening the quality of recreational water: Animal feces and storm water. In the case of the former, public enemy No. 1 are geese.
“A lot of times when we do have high bacteria counts, it is because of animals in the area and their feces,� says Amanda Wilson, director of Housing and Health Inspection in Worcester. “Because of heavy rainfall, the feces will run into public areas and bodies of water.� Geese have been especially problematic, in part because people often feed them. That encourages the geese to remain in the area, and while they may appear cute to children, their waste can be an environmental hazard. In fact, according to Wilson, the average goose produces up to two pounds of feces a day. “Years ago, there was a major problem in public parks,� says Wilson, mentioning Elm Park and Green Hill Park as areas of concern. “You can have a serious public health problem with goose feces.� To combat the problem, the city launched Geese Peace, a multifaceted program aimed at mitigating the goose population. One step involves goose-egg addling, during which the eggs are coated in corn oil before they hatch. This kills the offspring and confuses the mother, who will remain on the eggs without knowing they can no longer hatch. By the time she becomes suspicious, mating season is over. The other method is geese harassment, which is pretty much how it sounds. The city uses border collies to chase the geese from the water. On land, the dogs

Wilson says. Both goose-egg addling and geese harassment are considered humane methods of population control. Worcester’s Gerry and Karen Powers, who reside near Coes Pond off of Mill Street, have been heavily involved over the years in assisting the city in its efforts to keep recreational water clean, and have taken part in goose-egg addling. “One of the problems is abundance of Canadian Geese,â€? Gerry Powers says. “They can contribute to high bacteria counts. They’re a problem, but the city has been very good at its program for keeping the population under control.â€? Those efforts aren’t helped when wellintentioned people throw snacks to the geese, he explains. “The city is working hard at educating people not to feed the geese,â€? Gerry Powers says. “People think they’re being kind to the geese, but not only are they encouraging geese to stay in a place where they don’t belong ‌ it also has health effects on geese. Normally, they live on short sheets of grass. Give them a lot of starchy foods, they get so heavy they can’t y and develop abnormalities in their wing structure.â€? Noting the history of Coes Pond, Gerry Powers says, “We’re lucky. If you think
of it, the main source of water for Coes comes from Tatnuck Brook, which is excess water from city’s reservoir system, so the water is pretty clean.� Coes itself is a former reservoir, Gerry Powers points out.

A STORMY PROBLEM
An even bigger issue for Worcester than geese is storm water. For an urban community, storm drain runoff can wreak havoc on water. Potentially harmful nutrients such as phosphorous and nitrogen can wind up in local water ways and raise pollutants to dangerous levels. “If we have a problem with sewers,â€? says Wilson, “it’s typically at a pumping station during a period of heavy rain. The pumping station can become overwhelmed with the volume of water and they essentially stop. Then you have an overow.â€? According to Gerry Powers, normally the water quality is good, but over

{ coverstory } time the city has built up a system of impervious surfaces.” “When it rains,” he says, “all the guck on these surfaces gets into the drainage system and runs into our water ways. Everything we deposit on our streets and sidewalks all gets swept away when it rains heavy.” Impervious surfaces include things like roadways, sidewalks, parking lots, buildings – anything that does not allow for water to be absorbed. According to Williams, Worcester is 62 percent impervious, meaning of the total land area, the majority is composed of structures that do not absorb water. “That generates a tremendous amount of storm water [runoff],” Williams says. “It picks up pollutants like fertilizers, road salt, sand and pet waste.” Being a city and urban area, Worcester has more impervious structures than rural communities such as Millbury, Sutton and other places that, while growing in size, still have the ability to plan how they’re going to grow. “That’s the biggest problem of all,” Guerin says. “We’re already here. We’re near 190,000 people. Most of our green space is long gone. The old infrastructure that was designed to take rainfall on streets and roofs wasn’t to improve water quality or protect water ways. It was just to divert storm water. Today, obviously, there is a different perspective of how to handle storm water. What’s in it? What’s the flow rate? What’s the temperature?” The biggest challenge to any urban area, Guerin says, is what to do with what’s already in place. “Unfortunately, you’ve got an entire city,” he says. “Places like Sutton and others that are growing into suburban areas have the opportunity to put in modern-day storm-water collection systems. In an urban environment, retrofitting the existing system is problematic. I mean, we’re almost built out. Worcester is a city with a lot of hills and not a lot of good soil that can absorb a lot of water. There are very limited areas
with good, gravelly soil. Even in those areas our water tables tend to be very high.”
MAKING PROGRESS
Worcester is getting better in its storm-water management, according to Williams. Robert Moylan, commissioner of Public Works and Parks agrees. The city works hard, for example, to ensure waste and water do not become mixed, he says.
“To the fullest extent possible, we make sure sanitary waste does not get intermingled with surface water,” Moylan says. “On its own, the city has done a number of things to make sure sewer pump stations and sewer lines work properly, and there is operational redundancy.” In this case, redundancy means having a backup plan in the form of additional equipment and controls. An example would be along Lake Quinsigamond, where about four or five of the city’s 29 pump stations – including its largest – are set up. The biggest pump station can pump between five to 20 million gallons of waste a day, according to Moylan. Once sewage is pumped from that location on Lake Quinsigamond, it flows up to Belmont Street, where there are two pipe systems. “We can use one or the other or both,” Moylan says. “That’s what we mean by redundancy. On all the pump stations there are redundant pumps. If power fails, we have a backup plan. I think we’ve done a great job.” The large pump station on Quinsigamond is in line for an
approximately $8 million upgrade, Moylan notes, which will include new, state-of-the-art pumps.
“In the old days,” says Moylan, “every community had a pipe and it would discharge water into lakes and streams.

Now we have devices that remove sediment and floatables from discharge. Over the last 20 years, we’ve been employing those.”
TIGHT REGULATIONS Being environmentally
friendly has come with a cost and it is likely to get even more expensive when it comes to complying with state and federal regulations, according to Moylan.
Worcester, for example, operates under a storm water permit issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as part of the Clean Water Act. The city has been taking part since 1982, during which time it has spent between $5 million and $7 million a year on storm-water upgrades and maintenance. The city’s current EPA storm water permit has expired and Moylan says another one will likely come soon –an enormous price tag will come with it. “We have seen indications that the new permit will be very, very costly. I think it will be measured in the hundreds of millions of dollars,” Moylan estimates. “How is it afforded? That’s the $64,000 question. It comes at a price.” He sounds a warning for water and

{ coverstory } sewer users, saying, “The only source of pay for permit compliance is through rate payers. We’re going to be very cautious. We should get new permit sometime in November. It will be interesting to see what the new requirements are.” In addition to the storm water permit, Worcester has two other EPA permits – one for wastewater and another for combined sewer overflow treatment (CSO). “In each case,” says Moylan, “the requirements are becoming more and more costly.”
WHAT CAN BE DONE
Careful monitoring and enforcing rules and regulations has already done a lot to boost the quality of surface water. Developers face many constraints and regulations – in both new construction and redevelopment. According to Guerin, the city has been applying DEP storm water standards for about 10 years when it comes to construction. Some builders have

employed such “green” technology as rain gardens, which are depressions in the ground that can collect and absorb excess water. Adding plants to them provides both an aesthetic and environmentally friendly benefit. Among the new businesses that have utilized rain gardens is Webster Five Cent Savings Bank on Chandler Street.
“We’ve been advocating for rain gardens as a means for catching the attention of people of the city,” Gerry Powers says. “They’re something we feel the public can get excited about and say, ‘I want one of those in front of my house.’” Another helpful step is for homeowners and businesses to angle their downspouts
away from driveways and parking lots toward vegetated areas. Grass and gardens will absorb the water, whereas it would otherwise run down the pavement and carry potentially harmful material into storm drains. Continued public education also is a must, officials agree. “I think what is important is for people to understand the city has been very aggressive in addressing the quality in all streams and lakes,” says Moylan. “People themselves can do a great deal to help. When people throw things into catch basins, they end up in our streams and ponds. It needs to be a partnership between residents and the city.” Adds Gerry Powers: “I don’t think anyone can disagree we’ve made tremendous strides. I think we can do better. We’re moving in right direction. This is an issue that needs more attention. I think a majority of people in city would be glad to do things to help if they just knew what they had to do.” The lasting message officials want to send about the city’s recreational water ways is that people shouldn’t be worried about venturing into the lakes and ponds. “Overall, people should feel confident that it’s safe to go into the water,” says Robert Antonelli, assistant commissioner for the city’s Parks, Recreation and Cemetery Division. “I would go swimming in Worcester water. I have gone swimming.”

A day on the water with Worcester Kayak Rentals Alicia Lazzaro
Two months ago, Kenny Tran was driving by Coes Pond. The weather was beautiful and the pond looked peaceful, so he wanted to try his hand at kayaking. The only problem? He didn’t own a kayak and the only other rental store in the area didn’t deliver. So, he decided to open his own kayak rental store, with delivery.
Worcester Kayak Rentals opened in May and has been gaining traction ever since. Tran, 30, originally wanted to open the store by renting the bathhouse at Coes Pond to sell beverages and snacks while renting kayaks. “There is so much red tape, I’ve written letters to the city and the Parks and Recreation Department, but it’s going to take a while,” says Tran. Armed with a bright yellow banner, two trucks and an arsenal of kayaks, pedal boats and paddle boards, Tran, along with his wife and brother, strapped the banner across two trees and opened shop right in his home on May Street instead of waiting for the city to approve his request. Tran is a bit like his hair, wild and carefree. His business and website reflect this, stating “Get Out & Enjoy a Day on the Water” as a motto. Originally from Worcester, Tran appreciates the lakes and ponds that Worcester and its surrounding areas have to offer, and wants to provide a “fun and relaxing activity for everyone to try this summer.” Tran’s wife, Noi Thongthepsomphou, was more than happy to co-own the business, as they “go running and biking all the time” and kayaking is something she thinks is good for Worcester.
Previously working in a factory building batteries for electric cars, Tran wasn’t satisfied going to work every day doing the same thing. “I’ve never been the 9-to-5 guy. I want to do something where I have the freedom to meet people, travel, and make a little bit of money,” he explains. Tran enjoys making deliveries to beautiful scenic places in Worcester and meeting the variety of people that rent. This venture also allows him to put the business and marketing education he received at the year he attended Nichols College to work.
but delivery to other locations such as Wallum Lake costs $20 dollars to cover gas. “I understand that I am not paying real estate for a large shop or rent for a permit to be on the water. I run from my home and try to be accessible,” says Tran. “It’s great for people that want to go kayaking but don’t have the vehicle to carry the kayak or apartment dwellers that don’t have the room to store a kayak.” Tran recognizes the other stores in the area – New England Backpacker in Worcester rents kayaks, but STEVEN KING

Being a new business in a hard economy, Tran recognizes that keeping it cheap is the way to go. Rates vary depending on what the customer rents, but a singleperson kayak costs $10 an hour or $35 dollars for the entire day. Like them on Facebook, and you can get $5off the daily rental for the entire season. They will have group discounts available on Groupon soon, and offer various promotions throughout the summer. Delivery is free to Coes Pond, Indian Lake and Lake Quinsigamond,
doesn’t deliver; and Great Canadian in Sutton only sells kayaks – yet focuses on making his own business the best it can be. Worcester Kayak Rentals will be open until October 31 and will return next spring, with Tran hoping to occupy the bathhouse at Coes Pond.

For the 11th year in a row, the Major Taylor Association will be hosting its George Street Bike Challenge, a two-block race against the clock, up the wicked-steep George Street hill, on Sunday, July 22, at 10 a.m. The Major Taylor Association in conjunction with Barney’s Bicycle and the
Lynne Tolman, a board member of the Major Taylor Association, said the hill has been a known biker’s challenge ever since Major Taylor first ran the hill in the 1890s as part of his training regimen. The feat was so impressive that reportedly a crowd

grew to watch him as he pedaled up George Street. Marshall W. “Major” Taylor, also known as the “Worcester Whirlwind,” was the first African American to achieve the level of world champion after he won the one-mile track cycling world championship. “It really is a remarkable story, but no one has really heard about it. I mean, everyone knows the name Jackie Robinson, and STEVEN KING here is someone who is breaking down barriers 50 years before him,” says Tolman. Peter Howard of Barney’s Bicycle saw the hill as a good racing opportunity and helped to found the event in 2002. Howard and the Barney’s Bicycle crew still run the race along with the Seven Hills Wheelman, a cycling group in which Howard is currently the president, providing everything from the start line to the finish line. The race is styled as a time trial. “People call this type of race ‘the race of truth.’ It is just the rider against the clock,” says Tolman. Riders are divided by age categories; the race open to people as young as age 12. Keeping safety in mind, all riders are required to wear helmets. Registration costs $20, and the proceeds go to Major Taylor Association to maintain the statue of Major Taylor in front of the Worcester Public Library and also to creating its curriculum guides. The race not only benefits the

association but the surrounding area. The road receives a good cleaning before and after the race. Additionally, the community gets together, if not to participate, then to watch. Local businesses also see a little boost around the event. The race coincides with the last day of the Tour de France, and often spectators and participants stop over at a local café to see the results. Since the first year, the event has grown from around 60 participants to about 180 participants already registered—and Peter Howard with walk-ins of Barney’s welcome and registration Bicycle open until the day before the race, that number could grow to more than 200. “It’s everybody’s race. It is what is best about the race for me; it is a challenge for everyone from racers to novices,” says Howard. The race attracts a wide pool of challengers. Prior years’ competitors have included every type of person: unicyclists, BMX groups, hand cyclists, bike messenger teams, and more. This year there is even a specific category for tandem bikes, and according to Tolman, there will be a group riding a three-seated bicycle. A raffle will also occur on the day of the event; prizes include a brand new bike. Tickets can be purchase at the event, Barney’s Bicycle, and Worcester’s Earn-A-Bike. Kathann Horne, a four-time participant and multiple-time winner in her category, actually got involved in the event because of her dad. “We’ve been a family of cyclists since I was three years old… My dad did the hill at the age of 74,” explains Horne. “I came to watch him, and after he did it, I really had no excuses not to do it.” She prepared for the race by riding around Massachusetts, which, as Horne points out, has plenty of hilly roads. Horne really enjoys the race for the individual thrill of completing a challenge and emphasized how much she would love to see more women participate in the challenge. Horne’s tip to new racers: “Don’t practice on the hill on the day of the race, but do practice…. Stay in one gear. And remember that it is really just a road and you can conquer it.” For more information on the race or to sign up, visit majortaylorassociation.org.

my grandfather’s oldest and best material to an audience in his home-town. His father was an integral part of the city government.” S. N. Berman was a playwright known for his drawing-room comedies on stage; he also ventured into film work including the Garbo classic “Anna Karenina.” Additionally, he created the first ever producing company for theater in New York City. Behrman grew up in the Water Street neighborhood and documented his childhood in Worcester in the memoir “The Worcester Account.” Elizabeth Bishop’s talent earned her the Pulitzer for poetry. She is one of the luminaries of poetry in the 20th century. The series format is inspired by the conversations and readings of the Algonquin Round Table and will be presented in an informal actors-workshop style with the actors from American Classic Theater performing with special guest Nat Benchley. The American Classic Theater is a nonprofit theater troupe dedicated to the presentation, promotion and celebration of American plays, playwrights and the American experience.
Its mission is to foster appreciation for the American class play in a theater-going tradition that will endure. Its website is ACTworcester.com. The audience will be able to sit back, have a glass of wine…or two, and enjoy some timeless comedic performances. The dates are Thursday, July 26, and Thursday, August 23, at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 per person and $15 for WOO card holders. The museum is located at 30 Elm Street (one block west of Main) in downtown Worcester. Founded in 1875, Worcester Historical Museum is the only organization solely dedicated to the collection, preservation and interpretation of Worcester’s unique and diverse history from all time periods and subject areas. The museum’s holdings encompass thousands of documents and artifacts vital to the study of Worcester history. This history is interpreted through a calendar of exhibitions, educational programming, tours and publications. The museum features both permanent installations and changing exhibits.

The Worcester Historical Museum will celebrate hometown writers in two evening events highlighting their works. Barbara Guertin, a local actor and producer under the auspices of her new theater organization, American Classic Theater, is producing the evenings to be held on the last Thursdays in July and August.
There have always been requests at the museum to present something on Robert Benchley. “It will be something light and frothy for summer,” she says. The program will also include S. N. Behrman (one of the eminent playwrights of his era), and for poetry lovers, Elizabeth Bishop. It will be an informal atmosphere at the museum with an honor bar and bite-size sampling from a local restaurant beginning at 6:30 p.m. “Worcester is generally known for its industrial might and innovation, but it also has a long history of being the birthplace and home of literary giants,” explains James B. Nicola, director of the series. For those unfamiliar with these authors, Robert Benchley was one of the great funny men of the early- to mid-20th century, both as a writer and actor—plus he even won an Oscar. Benchley’s sharp wit was published in Vanity Fair and The New Yorker along with his film work. Benchley’s grandson, Nat Benchley, an accomplished writer, producer and actor will be performing in the series as well. Nat Benchley said recently that it will be “a great pleasure to present some of

Jamaican fare on island time
supposedly opened for lunch. I thought of not just the revenue, but the good will lost.
Mallory Sterling
Let’s get this out of the way: I intended to review a different place, but my fruitless, window-peering search for signs of life inside that dark restaurant left me walking to my car defeated and annoyed. The sign was ipped to “OPENâ€? and hours on the front door indicated they should be serving – me, lunch – at that very moment. My calls to the place went unanswered for 15 minutes, then 30, then even two hours after it was
This experience brought me to Park Avenue’s YaMON Jamaican Jerk Hut for the ďŹ rst time. YaMON’s interior walls are covered with Sunkist soda-orange paint and booths vary from burnt sienna to an off-putting tan, but let’s keep aesthetic expectations to a minimum. The island music blasting through the speakers provides a distraction and “hutâ€? is, after all, in the name of the place. Another reason to ignore the interior? We were slow on the intimations, but apparently YaMON is primarily a take-out establishment. I felt lucky we came on a day of the oxtail special ($9) – Tuesdays and Thursdays – though the mackerel slow cooked in coconut milk, curried goat, and stir fry tofu equally intrigued me. Braised fresh in Jamaican Red Stripe beer, served over seasoned rice and beans, the oxtail is an exotic dish with rich avor coming from both the braising technique and bone marrow. The robust and smoky tail meat is tender and, dare I say, worth the wait (more on that later).
For simple comfort food, even on a summer day, you will want to order one of the half dozen macn-cheese options. The Smoking Dread ($6.75), with cheddar, Gouda, and cayenne pepper, glistens from the abundance of melted, gooey cheese. Devouring the leftovers that night, my kids dubbed it “fancy mac-ncheese.â€? It is amazing. Perhaps attempting to ďŹ nish our two complex dishes ďŹ rst, the sole employee at YaMON took 45 minutes to prepare our Street Pan Grilled Jerk Chicken Sandwich ($6.99). Served on uffy coco-bread, sweetened slightly by coconut milk, the chicken breast sandwich is topped with lettuce, tomato and white onion. Our version lacked the mayo or guava sauce indicated on the menu. The drizzled jerk sauce has an adequate nose-run-inducing spice and the sandwich is good, but not an entire lunch-hour good. We placed our order – with intentions to dine-in – at the counter and were told the mac-n-cheese would take 10 minutes, as would the jerk chicken sandwich.
The oxtail would take twenty minutes. Perfect; or so we thought. We sat and observed four separate parties of people walk-in, place their orders to-go (this is key), and then walk out within minutes – with their food. Thirty-ďŹ ve minutes had passed, with neither mac-n-cheese nor sandwich. I checked on our order and was assured we hadn’t been forgotten. Perhaps, but we weren’t high-priority to-go orders. After forty-ďŹ ve minutes, we asked for our food to go. There’s nothing like frantic scarďŹ ng-down of hot oxtail in a ďŹ ery car, trying to get somewhere on time. A bafing experience; that said, I’d love for the little guys like YaMON to make it, so I bite my tongue when it comes to most service and efďŹ ciency problems. I hope our experience was more of an exception than the rule and that YaMON can sustain its popularity. With its proximity to Clark University, I’m sure YaMON is especially a hit with that crowd, mainly because the hut accepts the university’s cash cards and provides free delivery to campus.

Right by WPI, Tortilla Sam’s is one of the great restaurants that work to cater to the vegetarian and vegan diners in Worcester, and it’s got several salads to help that mission.
If you’re a fan of the fried taco bowl for salad, you’re in for a treat because that’s what the salads are served in, though you can order it without the bowl. I started with the vegetarian green chili STEVEN KING topped salad, which was really good. Though it came with dressing, it didn’t need any. The chili had an excellent, slightly smoky flavor and was great on its own - especially with the tortilla shell to dip into it. Even better, it didn’t weigh down the generous pile of lettuce and several other vegetables. Our second salad was the house Ensalada topped with grilled steak. The steak was good, but didn’t stand out as steak; it was a flavorful protein for the salad. The salad’s description promised a lot of “colorful vegetables,” and it kept that promise. In addition to the crispy lettuce, the salad included yellow squash, zucchini, colored bell peppers, carrots, cucumbers, and some red cabbage. It made for a pretty plating in the spinach tortilla shell and all of the vegetables had a wonderful fresh crunch. With that, we did try the chili vinaigrette, which had a nice acidity with just a little kick and warmth. Overall, Tortilla Sam’s offered a good salad experience at a good price particularly with portions — so if you’re in the neighborhood, definitely check them out!

Kayla DeSanty
STEVEN KING
KAYLA DESANTY, 17, OF HOLDEN SPENDS HER SUMMER MUCH LIKE EVERY OTHER TEENAGER. SHE HANGS OUT WITH FRIENDS; SHE GOES TO THE MOVIES; SHE WORKS HER SUMMER JOB. BUT DESANTY HAS ONE OF THE CLASSIC SUMMER JOBS — AS A LIFEGUARD AT BOTH WORCESTER JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER (JCC) AND AT THE HOLDEN POOL. WITH THE WEATHER HEATING UP AND THE POOL LOOKING MORE AND MORE APPEALING, WE HAD TO SIT ON OUR BEACH CHAIR WITH DESANTY TO ASK HER ABOUT BEING A LIFEGUARD AND SWIMMING.
Have you always loved swimming? My
dad swam in college and currently does triathlons. He and my mom introduced both my sister and me to the pool at very young ages. I was introduced to the pool as an infant. By the time I was three, I was enrolled in swimming lessons. I joined my first competitive swim team at the age of seven. Since then, I have continued swimming because I just love the water and the sport.
How long have you been working as a lifeguard? I have been working as a
lifeguard for a year. I started off as a sub-lifeguard last summer, and by the time school started, I had a regular shift on Saturdays. This summer, I am working at two local pools, the pool at the JCC and the Holden Pool. I decided to become a lifeguard because I have a strong swimming background and I love being around water. After swimming for so long, it just felt natural to become a lifeguard. It’s really nice to be able to get out of the pool after practice and work or swim some laps when I’m done with my shift. I also thought lifeguarding would be a good way to meet people. I have made new friends through lifeguarding and have gotten to know some of the people who come to the pool. Finally, I thought lifeguarding would be a good way
to help people. It’s very nice to see the smiles I get in return for giving someone a Band-Aid or helping someone get in and out of the pool.
What is your favorite aspect of being a lifeguard? My favorite aspect
of being a lifeguard is helping people and keeping them safe. Whether I give someone a Band-Aid, prevent someone from doing something they shouldn’t do, or actually jump in for a save, I know I’m doing my job.
Any funny stories or touching moments you want to share? It’s
amazing what you can find in a pool filter, whether it is candy wrappers or some kind of small animal. As for touching moments, I witnessed a child comforting his friend after he was splashed in the face. As soon as his friend started crying, the boy wiped his eyes for him, told him to open up his eyes and then assured him that he would be alright because the redness in his eyes was going away.
What is the worst part of being a lifeguard? Dealing with people who
question the rules is one of the worst parts of being a lifeguard. People just need to understand that the rules were made to keep them safe. For example, some parents do not understand why their child cannot wear flotation devices such as life jackets or bubbles.
From a lifeguard’s perspective, the flotation device pushes the child beyond their normal limits. Flotation devices can slip off when children need them the most, and they can prevent young children from turning back around when they turn to put their faces in the water. Children who can’t swim are just better off staying in shallow water with their parents.
Do you ever find yourself going into “lifeguard” mode when off duty? I
always go into lifeguard mode at the beach and other pools. Scanning the water for struggling swimmers and potential dangers just becomes a habit after lifeguarding for a while.
Do you still swim recreationally? I still go swimming for fun, but I also swim competitively, so it’s kind of impossible to get away from it.
What is the best piece of advice you can give? Listen to the lifeguards
because they know what they’re doing. Follow the rules because they were made to keep you safe. And finally, parents, please watch your children because it’s amazing where they can end up in a matter of seconds.
You just graduated in May. What are your plans? I will be attending Worcester Polytechnic Institute this fall to study biology and biotechnology. I originally wanted to be a meteorologist, but after I took my first biology class as a sophomore, I knew I wanted to major in something biology related in college. I am especially interested in genetics and diseases, so I hope to be working in lab doing cancer research after I graduate.
