rt is always in season. The Davis Gallery can be found packed with art aďŹ cionados peeling off winter jackets as they gaze at work hung on walls in the hallway while their cars are being layered with snow on Portland Street. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve welcomed the cool, quiet atmosphere of other art spaces on summer afternoons when Worcester is blazing with temperatures close to 100 degrees. Artists and those of us who simply appreciate the creative works on display throughout our city and surrounding areas are not tempered by the time of year, however, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean with spring now ofďŹ cially here â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as far as the equinox is concerned â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a good time to celebrate the many theater and musical performances, author talks, art festivals and installations of new and collected artwork that will be on display this season. Hold on to this issue through June 21 as a reminder and guide to the vibrant arts community Worcester is lucky to enjoy.

March 21 - 27, 2013 ■ Volume 38, Number 29

Gay teens work through ‘awkward’ times oming out as a gay teen was “a bit uncomfortable,” says Richie, a student at South High Community School. He only told his friends, but his mother stumbled upon her son’s secret on social media. She did not talk to him for a couple days, he says, but the cold shoulder did not last for long. As tough as it was announcing he is a homosexual – “The whole process was an awkward scene ﬁlled with mixed emotions” – it also was a catharsis for him. “I lost a little, but I gained a lot,” Richie says. For another Worcester teen, ninth grade was the worst time of his life. “I don’t know if it was because of being gay, but there were a lot of things going on in my life and every day I would think, ‘who would miss me if I died?’ But I couldn’t think of anyone who would,” the boy, a student at Burncoat High School, says. “I used to pop pain medicine, but not to kill myself, just to numb myself. I stopped as soon as I found out it can cause long-term damage. But I wish I had the opportunity to talk to someone about it. My freshman year was the worst year of my life and I wasn’t comfortable with anyone.” School, he admits, “is a little different for me.” Some of the changes have been positive. “It seems as if ever since I came out I had more friends. Everyone was more accepting of me being different besides the few homophobic people I came across,” he says. “A couple of people still tried bullying me, but I was a much stronger person by that time and I was

able to stick up for myself. I figured I had more friends because I feel like I could be myself and I didn’t care who judged me.” A 15-year-old student at Worcester Technical High School tells Worcester Mag he lost a lot of friends after telling people he was gay and has been called “homo,” “fag,” and “gay.” Most of his teachers do not know he is gay, the boy says, “but the ones who do don’t treat me any different.” He came out to some people in eighth grade and everyone else when he was a freshman. His family, he says, accepted him, but that did not make it easy. “I did get called a few names and at one point I regretted ever telling anyone,” he says. “It was hard to come out. At first it was scary.” All three teens say they received varying degrees of support, but the common thread is that, for the most part, they were welcomed by their peers in school (one boy says he did not fit in with the gay community at South High). Some schools have a Gay Straight Alliance (GSA), but participation is a problem; at Doherty Memorial High School, for example, the GSA is just about defunct because of a lack of interest, according to engineering teacher Annette Cochran, who coordinated the club. “I don’t know if they didn’t know about it or they just didn’t want to be as active.” Another school activity, the PEACH (Promoting Exercise And Continuous Health) Club, drew some students away from the GSA, she says. As for the culture at Doherty and the willingness of students to accept kids with different sexualities, Cochran points to the overall make-up of the student body. “We

have a very diverse community here,” she says. “As a whole, kids are more accepting and more inquisitive to learn about different situations. They want to know the person. There is a lot more process that they want to do.” That does not mean there is no conflict, she adds. “There are kids that stand fast in their beliefs,” Cochran says. “That’s fine. They go their separate ways.” The environment is similar at South, according to English teacher and GSA Coordinator Joe McKay. “I think the acceptance is very high,” he says. “My observation is, in some ways, [gay] students are a little more sophisticated than other students. I don’t mean they’re all caught up in themselves, but their openness seems to work so that they’re not getting any threats to them. They seem to be able to take their own sexuality in stride.” When there are slurs and bullying, each victim has a different way of handling them. South High Principal Maureen Binienda says she was amazed just last week when she read a paper titled “Paper Cuts,” written by a senior at the school. The boy wrote about being called “faggot” in middle school, Binienda says. He equated the bullying to receiving paper cuts. “I couldn’t believe the quality of the writing,” she says. “He’s a great kid who’s going on to college now.” While student conflict happens, the larger problems often occur within the families of the gay or lesbian student. “Some cultures don’t like their choices,” continued on page 7

All snowbanks aren’t created equal.” – At-Large Councilor Rick Rushton overheard during a City Council meeting after inquiring about a 15-foot-high snowbank at corner of Carmel Road, where residents were afraid they would be ticketed for parking where they shouldn’t because of the mound of snow.

Homeless students could get year-round home at Worcester State Walter Bird Jr.

iven the alarming number of youths and young adults identiﬁed as homeless in Worcester – 120 youths taking part in a survey last year identiﬁed themselves as homeless – it is not a stretch to think some of them might be college students. Helping those and other kids who have gone through the state’s mental health and children and families systems is the impetus behind a partnership between Worcester State University (WSU) and the Robert F. Kennedy Children’s Action Corps (RFK). Actually, it is a planned new partnership; the two have worked together before. RFK has applied for funding through the Department of Mental Health (DMH) and Department of Children and Families (DCF) that, if awarded, would have Worcester State provide free room and board for a predetermined number of qualifying freshmen who are either homeless or have received services

through one or both of the state agencies. RFK would provide stafﬁng and other onsite support at the university for the students. “Worcester State is servicing those students right now, they just may not know it,” says Terry Shanley, senior vice president of Human Resources and Administration for RFK, acknowledging the existing ties between the university and RFK that include internships for students. “I think our focus was the fact that we already have a strong collaboration with Worcester State University.” Through the partnership, Worcester State would house the students, who would have to meet the school’s admission requirements, year-round. The school would provide ofﬁce space for RFK staff as well as access to other services, such as academic advisors. “RFK would provide clinicians for counseling and other support as well as continued on page 6

make sure the students maintain contact with their community,â&#x20AC;? Shanley says. The students would be spared the approximately $18,000 cost for a yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of tuition and room and board. Shanley says RFK would look to ďŹ nd a way to help the students, both ďŹ nancially and with other services, through an entire four-year education at Worcester State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we were to receive the contract our staff would be committed to working with them straight through their college career,â&#x20AC;? Shanley says. The idea, according to WSU President Barry Maloney, is to give a fair shot to kids who may have struggled more than

others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really just about trying to level the playing ďŹ eld,â&#x20AC;? says Maloney, whose school serves more than 1,000 students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not aware of this being done in Massachusetts before,â&#x20AC;? Shanley says. The grant is competitive; neither Shanley nor Maloney know which other schools and organizations have applied. Maloney says he received word last week that no decision had been made yet. The program could prove particularly beneďŹ cial for potential Worcester State students right in the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own back yard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have talked with South [Community] High School about the contract,â&#x20AC;? Shanley says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There could be students who meet the criteria to be accepted into Worcester State. [Principal] Maureen [Binienda] would be a natural. She has many of these students in her school.â&#x20AC;? RFK would consider successful high school students throughout the state, according to Shanley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we were to get the contract our agency would reach out to all kinds of numbers of agencies throughout the state for referrals.â&#x20AC;? Being able to include some of her students in the RFK partnership with Worcester State would be more than satisfying for Binienda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A dream of mine

was always to buy a three-decker and put South High kids who were homeless in there and connect them with colleges,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some kids struggle with home issues. They would get the opportunity of not worrying about where they were going to live or get food or whether they were going to get into college.â&#x20AC;? Binienda says South High had 177 students last year that would qualify as homeless, meaning they were couch surďŹ ng or otherwise unaccompanied by an adult. The number was the highest in the district, according to Binienda, adding she does not know how many students qualify this year. Many students have gone through DCF, she says, and some have moved to the city from other areas and are under foster care here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it would make a difference if we could provide this support,â&#x20AC;? Binienda says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the idea. They would live in college and go for free. I hope they do [get the contract]. That would be one of the most unique grants they ever came up with.â&#x20AC;? Have a news tip or comment? Contact Walter Bird Jr. at 508-749-3166, ext. 243, or email wbird@worcestermag.com.

A BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED MAN: Brian Paulsen went from breaking into cars and stealing iPods to cowering under a bridge in Elm Park. At least thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what is alleged in the early Sunday morning, March 17 arrest of the 50-year-old man suspected of breaking into nine vehicles. According to Worcesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ nest, Paulsen broke into his girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car near 228 Park Ave. and headed to Elm Park, ďŹ rst allegedly threatening two men who were following him with a knife before hiding under one of the bridges. When he was caught, Paulsen allegedly had a knife, window punch and several stolen goods and money on him. He is also suspected of breaking into a Roxbury Street apartment. The alleged break-ins took place on Lee Street, Highland Street, Park Avenue and Ormund Street. The good news is some of the stolen merchandise was returned to its owners. ALL KNOTTED UP: Luis Ramos and Jose Garcia thought they were going to sell some of their heroin Friday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all bagged and knotted up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but instead they wound up arrested after their customer turned out to be an undercover cop (D-oh!). Turns out the two men were the subject of a sting. Police say Ramos resisted arrest and one ofďŹ cer hurt his leg in the scufďŹ&#x201A;e, trying to handcuff him. The 46-year-old Ramos of 45 Marsh Ave. and 31-year-old Jose Garcia of 173 Austin St., Apt. 3 each were charged with possession of a Class AÂ substance with intent to distribute, distribution of aÂ Class AÂ substance and conspiracy to violate controlled substance laws. Ramos was also charged with resisting arrest, defacing public property or property of another and carrying a dangerous weapon (switchblade with brass knuckles). In addition he was charged on an outstanding warrant for larceny over $250. BUZZ KILL: It was high times for police and ďŹ reďŹ ghters who responded to a small apartment ďŹ re at 20 Cargill St. Thursday, March 14. The times werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite as good for 32-year-old Trevor Arnell, however, who police say was growing a pot garden inside his second-ďŹ&#x201A;oor apartment. The ďŹ re turned out to be no big deal, but when ďŹ reďŹ ghters turned on their heat detecting equipment to check the rest of the building, they were led to the second-ďŹ&#x201A;oor apartment, where inside they found 15 marijuana plants growing inside a makeshift greenhouse tent. The heat ďŹ reďŹ ghters had detected was coming from the industrial lights mounted above the plants. Arnell was spotted outside the apartment and ran when police went after him. His ďŹ&#x201A;ight didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last long â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he was caught by police nearby and charged with possession of a Class D substance.

Cochran says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen here it happens in [the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;] own family and their culture did not accept their choice.â&#x20AC;? Dealing with middle and high school students over the past four to ďŹ ve years, Cochran says she has worked with â&#x20AC;&#x153;a handful of kids who struggled with their culture.â&#x20AC;? In those instances, she says, almost 95 percent of them ended up leaving their family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen it come full circle,â&#x20AC;? Cochran says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The child gets into their mid- to late-20s and the parents say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to lose my child.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? For the most part, adds McKay, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acceptance on the part of the family and relatives.â&#x20AC;? Richie ultimately found that, but not immediately. In retrospect, he thinks coming out could have gone a bit more smoothly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming out as a homosexual teen was an idea played out in my mind that took forever to take into effect,â&#x20AC;? he

says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when it happened, it came quick! When I did come out, it was to my friends only until my mom found out. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support the idea and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk to me for a couple days. But guess what? She got over it. She knows Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m her son and she knows that she has to love me forever. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the end, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad everything happened, but in a way I wish I could go back in time just so I could prevent my mom from ďŹ nding out, simply because I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the number one thing to always remember: Do not do anything unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready. Its still a bit uncomfortable, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty cool. And the students that go to school with me at South were, and still are, supportive. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing.â&#x20AC;? Have a news tip or comment?

{ worcesteria } WHAT THEY THINK:

Emotions among the public ran high in the immediate aftermath of a Franklin Street car crash in which 27-year-old Christina Castro careened her vehicle into a parked car (moments after hitting another parked car and ﬂeeing the scene), which resulted in the death of her 3-year-old. Family members were quoted as saying the woman had suffered enough and should not go to jail, so Worcester Mag asked its friends on Facebook: Should the mother go to jail or was the death of her youngest child punishment enough? The responses were immediate. Here are some of them: Scott Stevens writes: “Are you serious? That is an absurdly stupid question.” Stacy Baird says: “Seeing as she didn’t look very upset, about the death and injury of her children on the front page of the Telegram last week, I’d say she deserves it.” Another reader, Rich Ad Leufstedt adds: “Jail time isn’t good enough for her. As a medical worker I’m having a hard time feeling any empathy for her.” Mary McDonough says: “This question is beyond absurd. It’s offensive and cheapens the life lost and the lives forever changed by this woman’s reckless and thoughtless behavior. She can still breathe air and walk upright. Clearly, she hasn’t suffered at all.” Yonit Kasten remarks: “Seriously? Are you trying to contaminate the jury pool? She deserves a fair trial.”

WHO’S RUNNING? Worcester Mag is your source for the latest on this year’s elections in Worcester. For local races, we’ll tell you who’s running, who has pulled out nomination papers, the whole enchilada. With that in mind, the biggest election talk is centered on former Mayor and At-Large Councilor Joe O’Brien, who has not taken out nomination papers, yet. O’Brien has told Worcester Mag he is considering running for School Committee and word on the street is that it’s a done deal. Also, Mesﬁn Beshir, who has pulled out papers to run for At-Large Council, says he will run for mayor (all at-large challengers are mayoral candidates until they indicate otherwise). Stay tuned. As for who else has pulled out papers for what race, here is the latest list from the city’s Election Division: Donna Colorio, Tracy O’Connell Novick, John Monfredo, Jack Foley, Brian O’Connell, Doug Arbetter and Dianna Biancheria (School Committee); Beshir, Arthur Ellis, Peter Kush, Konnie Lukes, Joe Petty, Michael Gaffney, William Feegbeh, Todd Williams, Kate Toomey, Rick Rushton, George Fox, Morris Bergman, Carmen Carmona and Miguel Cadiz (At-Large Councilor); Chris Rich and Tony Economou (District 1 Councilor); Phil Palmieri (District 2 Councilor); George Russell (District 3 Councilor); Cecelia Mason, Bill Eddy and Michael Harper (District 5 Councilor); Sarai Rivera (District 4 Councilor). WHAT’S GOING ON? Four other School

Committee members have signed onto a request initiated by Donna Colorio for Thursday night’s committee meeting. Colorio wants School Committee members included in all general emails sent to teachers, administrators and staff about events happening in the city’s public schools. Colorio says committee members are routinely kept out of the loop when it comes to school events. “It is important for School Committee Members to know about the events that are happening in the 44 Worcester Public Schools,” she says. According to Colorio about 5,000 emails go out every two or three weeks to teaching staff, administrators and others alerting them to what’s going on in the schools. School Committee members, she says, are not on the list. “When I asked to be included, I was told to go to the 44 different Worcester Public School websites to determine events occurring at our schools,” Colorio says. “I don’t understand why this is an issue; I will continue to make transparency a priority.” Signing onto the item are committee members Tracy O’Connell-Novick, Dianna Biancheria, John Monfredo and Brian O’Connell.

GAME ON: Worcester is in the running for one of four slot parlor licenses to be awarded in Massachusetts by the end of the year. Chicago-based , Rush Street Gaming, operating as , Mass Gaming & Entertainment LLC (MGE), has the city in its sights, although a spokesperson for the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) says it has not received ofﬁcial notiﬁcation that the company is competing for Worcester. City Manager Mike O’Brien, however, says the city has been told Rush Gaming wants to build a slots parlor and hotel here. And MGE CEO Greg Carlin says Worcester as a logical choice for the developer. “It was quickly apparent to us that Worcester is the perfect location for the new gaming development,” says Carlin. “When developing our properties, we pride ourselves on customizing each project to the surrounding area and collaborating with the host community and other interested parties to build unique entertainment destinations.”

WSU and China Exchange

Worcester State University recently entered into a new student exchange agreement with United International College (UIC) in Zhuhai, China, while a memorandum of understanding with the intention of exploring other collaborative activities was signed by both WSU and UIC presidents. The exchange program provides overseas study programs for students in STEM fields, traditional humanities and social sciences, and business. Courses at UIC are taught in English, except for Chinese language and cultural history courses. The majority of UIC students are Chinese. UIC was formed less than a decade ago through a partnership between Beijing Normal University and Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), with the majority of UIC’s curriculum adopted from HKBU. UIC enrolled its first class in 2005 and currently has a student population of 4,400. The school is a 75-minute high-speed ferry ride from Hong Kong on the west side of the Pearl River delta area in southern China, where the climate is similar to southern Florida. “What makes the UIC experience accessible,” says WSU international programs interim director Katey Palumbo, “is both its language of instruction and its design as a traditional Western liberal arts curriculum,” and continues, “It’s a beautiful, compact, new campuswith good housing and a dining commons our students will recognize and enjoy.” This is the second Chinese institutional affiliation signed by current WSU President Barry Maloney; the first of which was signed last spring, with the boarding school Guangdong Country Garden School. Thirty-one teachers from the school spent three weeks on the Worcester campus last summer for K-12 professional development studies; it’s said a similar amount will visit this year.

Pansies for Progress

Report

Fair Taxation and the Common Good Slot machines will bring

Joe O’Brien and Kenneth O’Brien

ood government, ﬁrst rate public services, fair taxation: Massachusetts once stood for all that. Republicans like Frank Sargent, Democrats like Ted Kennedy, and more recently independent legislators like Congressman Jim McGovern, all thought there was a public interest and it was their job to take care of it. Governor Deval Patrick and Lt. Governor Tim Murray have revived this Massachusetts tradition, persuading us that good government is possible, that excellent public services are our shared responsibility, and now they are making a strong case that taxes should be fair. Unfortunately, so far Republicans are attacking the Governor’s plan while most Democratic leaders are running for cover. Only a few courageous Democrats, like Representative Jim O’Day, have had the courage to join the Governor and Lt. Governor in taking on the fair tax question. Make no mistake, there is a very big fair tax question in Massachusetts, founding home of American good democratic government. We accept a ﬂat state income tax, even when our federal government and many states have more progressive graduated taxation as a fundamental principal. We rely very heavily on regressive sales tax that falls disproportionately on people of limited income. And, sadly, we now have become even more reliant on revenue from various forms of gambling. The lottery is big part of our political landscape and now state budgets are now being built around expected revenues from casinos. What would Puritan icon John Winthrop or founding mother and father John and Abigail Adams think of relying on gambling to meet more and more of our public obligations? Add annual pressures that place lots of weight on residential property taxes while local communities bid against each other offering decades-long tax exemptions for new business construction. We in Massachusetts should and can do better.

Gary Rosen

Soon Worcester and three other cities will be competing for the one slot parlor license that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will be awarding later this year. If the proposal by a subsidiary of Rush Gaming out of Chicago is successful, it will mean construction and casino jobs, signiﬁcant revenue and most likely a new hotel for our city.

Worcester’s slot parlor is proposed for Kelley Square’s biggest eyesore, the hazardous waste cesspool owned by Wyman-Gordon Co. After the site is cleaned up, anything built there would be an improvement. Certainly a slot parlor that is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and that also offers table games, will add thousands of gamblers a day to the hundreds of drinkers who already frequent the popular Canal District. So, I join many city leaders and taxpayers in supporting this gaming venture. Downtown’s CitySquare can only be enhanced by the presence of its new neighbor, SlotsSquare. And even JetBlue

revenue and pain to Worcester

might decide to offer high rollers flights in and out of the Worcester Regional Airport. However, my genuine enthusiasm for bringing slots to the city does come with some misgivings. That’s because slot machine addiction is so common and costly to individuals and their families that it has been coined the “crack cocaine” of gambling. John Scarne, famed magician and expert on cards and other games, once said, “My last piece of advice to the degenerate slot player who thinks he can beat the one-armed bandit consists of four little words: ‘It can’t be done.’” Unfortunately, my occasional trips to Foxwoods and Twin River Casinos have persuaded me that Scarne was right. Through compelling graphics, vivid colors, sound effects, free bonus games, and other assorted bells and whistles, slot machines are designed to be seductive and addictive. They are mechanical pickpockets - the cash cows that keep casinos running. Just ask William Bennett, Secretary of Education under Ronald Reagan and drug czar in the first Bush administration. At casinos, he’d enter a state of total gambling immersion and, playing $100-$500 a-pull slots, Bennett lost upwards of $10 million before facing his gambling addiction. The brainchildren of talented and creative graduates of fine schools such as Worcester’s own Becker College and WPI, slot machines require no thought or skill on the player’s part. These unforgiving machines simply do what they were designed to do - take in much more money than they pay out. In other words, the house wins and the slot player loses. With the promise of huge jackpots, slots can be an expensive and painful tease. Waiting for that next spin that will change their life forever, some players deplete their savings, cash in their family’s insurance policies and lose their home or business. And once their spouse and kids are gone, they then know they’ve hit rock bottom. One of my biggest fears is that too many of our seniors, who now stay mentally, physically and emotionally healthy by frequenting the Worcester Senior Center, will all too often travel a mere half mile down Vernon Hill to the slot parlor. Even a small gambling loss can have a major impact on retirees with fixed incomes. In any case, casinos and slot parlors are harmless entertainment for most people. The loud music, sounds of spinning reels and of coins being won, free booze, gluttonous buffets, fine shopping, entertainment, indoor smoking, rewards points and free gifts are all part of the fun. On rare occasion, people hit big on the slots. But, the long lines at the casino’s ATMs show that winning consistently is impossible and that slot machines are for suckers.

commentary | opinions YOUR TURN continued from page 10

Let’s walk through the Patrick/Murray argument. First there are such things as public goods, like education, public safety, social services and transportation. These are things we do together as a people to maintain our common life. This is what philosophers mean by the common good. Patrick and Murray, like other democratic leaders of the past, believe that these public goods are the shared responsibility of all of us. They make the case that we need more revenue to maintain these common goods. In order to meet our responsibilities we will need somewhat higher taxes. The national Republican party has crippled itself as a trusted custodian of public business by signing onto a demagogic pledge of “no new taxes” after showering billions of dollars of tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans during the Bush era. They even persuaded many good citizens that allowing the unwise and unsuccessful tax cuts for the wealthy to expire was a tax increase rather than a tax reform correcting an earlier mistake. And anti-tax Republicans have plenty of Democratic party collaborators who avoid mentioning capital gains tax rates or the indefensible “carried interest” loophole

that protects very wealthy people and serves no conceivable public purpose. So the Governor and Lt. Governor are now boldly asking us to reduce our reliance on the regressive sales tax and consider modest increases in the income tax that will make that tax a little less ﬂat and a little more fair. Once upon a time it was a mantra in economics classes and fair-minded families that ability to pay was one component of determining fair allocation of taxes. We called that progressive taxation, and it worked very well. During our era of greatest economic growth and most widely shared prosperity, the 1950s, the federal income tax ranged up to 90% on the highest incomes. No one advocates returning to those levels, but every serious candidate for public ofﬁce should explain what is meant by fair and effective taxation. But don’t blame politicians alone for avoiding tough issues of public revenues, spending and debt. “No new taxes” pledges are irresponsible, and so are exaggerated claims about abuse and distracting arguments about closing “loopholes” to solve problems without pain. But politicians do badly on these matters because we do. When given the opportunity we in Massachusetts voted

against the progressive income tax, we adopted proposition 2 ½, binding local communities and essential services to the state with no plan to meet those responsibilities. And in 2008 30% of us voted to abolish the state income tax altogether. Surely the Governor and Lt. Governor knew that they would have trouble with Republicans and far too many Democrats, but they took a chance on us to recognize that there is a better way to fund our community’s needs. Governor Patrick, Lt Governor Murray and brave legislators are now offering us in Massachusetts another chance to carry on our tradition of good citizenship and shared responsibility. We can choose to support their effort to build a better Commonwealth by making targeted investments in education, transportation and infrastructure that will beneﬁt cities like Worcester, towns like Holden and all the people in the Commonwealth. Let’s join them in rebuilding a rich and successful common life, together. Joe O’Brien is a former Worcester Mayor and current City Councilor. Kenneth O’Brien is a small business owner and former Holden Selectman

Online comments EDDY FACES 2 POTENTIAL CHALLENGERS ON COUNCIL

I’m always happy to see a district contested like District 5 is because it means more people will be paying attention to the issues there. One of Eddy’s weaknesses is that he tends to forget there’s a southern half of the district (which might explain why one of the polling places is up a hill and inaccessible by public transporation on election day). With two opponents looking for any advantage they can get, he’s going to need to prove that he’s not just willing to advocate for Tatnuck Square, but Webster Square, too. -TFW Concilor Eddy has done his work. Has been very responsive to constituent needs. As chairman of the Public Safety Committee has led the charge to place more cops on the streets and is concerned about the well being of not just D5 but the city as a whole.....as the city goes so goes D5........Eddy deﬁnitely deserves re-election..... -Q To join the discussion, visit worcestermag.com/ blogs/dailyworcesteria

six-song EP, sets the tone for the band’s ecstatic forays into atmospheric dance pop. While the roots revolution has brought upright bass, funky old hats, banjo, and retro vibes to the mainstream, Herra Terra is immersed in a nostalgia of their own: unapologetic ‘80s pop, with the most synth layers and guitar effects since Kraftwerk. The backing tracks snap, crackle, and ping-pong like Rice Krispies on acid, with breathy vocals reminiscent of Spandau Ballet, and bright driving drums. Tonelli says that the band began work on the new EP, Hyperborean, “in 2011, collecting material through jams.” The band, he says, then launched a Kickstarter campaign, whereby fans could become patrons and assist with the funding of the project. “Our gracious family and friends played a major role in the making of this record,” he says. “We cannot thank all the people who contributed to the campaign enough.” Tonelli says that “all the recording, producing and mixing was done with our good friend and engineer Taylor Barefoot [at] the Sound Museum, in Brighton,” though he says that the band “did some of the tracking ourselves except for guitar, bass and drums. We also laid down some guitar tracks with Ian Van Opijnen at The Echoroom recording studio [in Uxbridge]. All the mastering was done with Jay Frigoletto at Studio Metronome [in Brookline, NH.].” The CD title seems to refer to a sort of hedonistic existence. Whether it is meant to be a personal band philosophy or an indictment of our culture, I can’t say, though the band seems to broadcast a love for the endless party, and their trippedout rave tunes, conﬁrm it. Despite this, the overall tone is dark and shadowy, the lyrics somber. “I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a concept album, but that’s the overall imagery we’re trying to communicate to listeners,” says Tonelli. “I really like when people actually analyze a whole piece of work, rather than taking everything for face value. There’s always something deeper behind the red curtain.” The band’s depth of ideas is always balanced with an irreverence that keeps you guessing. Or, as Tonelli explains, “Don’t eat white dog poo, because your good buddy told you to. Know that it’s awful and think for yourself. Unless your good buddy shoves your tongue on it. Then, you have no choice but to taste. The same goes for this record. Listen, keep an open mind, think for yourself, formulate an honest opinion, then take it or leave it. Hopefully you take it… or it’s the white doggy poo for you!” Don’t take the white poo. Come out to Ralph’s on March 22, or at T.T. the Bear’s Place, in Cambridge, on Monday, April 8, for the opening round of The Rumble. “Seriously, if you come to any HT party this year, this is the one to make,” he says.

ONE DAY RESIDENCY AT WAM Corey Olivier

COREY OLIVIER

Worcester Art Museum is getting more creative than ever in their push to engage a larger audience. Their new One Day Residency program is a modern take on the time-honored tradition of artist residencies, designed to motivate the public to react to the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extensive collection. The new program allows any artist, even nonmembers, to spend an entire day in the museum for free to draw inspiration from the many diverse galleries and practice their craft in WAMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artist studios. For centuries, studios and museums have sponsored individual artists to spend one year or more living, working, and creating on-site to produce a collection of high-quality work to be displayed. WAM has put their own unique twist on this concept by compressing the residency to a single day. Their hope is that each artist will create a ďŹ nished piece by the end of the day that reacts to some aspect of the museum. Artists are allowed to sketch, draw and photograph inside the galleries and are welcome to use the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artist studios for further work. WAM also strongly encourages the artists to invite their friends, family, students and museum-goers to observe them during their creative process. Marcia Lagerwey, head of education at WAM, thinks the program will be a great beneďŹ t to the museum, the artists, and future guests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program emphasizes the relationship between the artist and our collection,â&#x20AC;? says Lagerwey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want artists to come be inspired by the work, and in turn, the art they produce will change the way the audience views our pieces.â&#x20AC;? Finished pieces produced during each One Day Residency are kept by the artist, although Katrina Stacy, WAMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant curator of education, thinks that permanent display of the works in the museum could happen in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A special gallery for the works could be a possibility down the road,â&#x20AC;? said Stacy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Currently the ďŹ nished pieces will be photographed and uploaded to our Flickr site so anyone with a computer can view them.â&#x20AC;? WAM has recently been more aggressive with their use of social media to contact a larger audience and promote new galleries and programs. Right now, almost all of the advertising for the One Day Residency program has been done via email, Facebook and Twitter. The idea was initially proposed by Adam Rozan, WAMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Director of Audience Engagement. The One Day Residency program is just one of many activities being offered by the museum, including the Drawing Club and in-gallery meditation. WAM hosted its ďŹ rst One Day Resident artist on Wednesday, March 13. Paul Toussaint, a photographer from Connecticut who specializes in iphoneography (the practice of making artistic photographs using only an iPhone), spent hours walking through WAMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many galleries, photographing speciďŹ c sculptures, paintings and reďŹ&#x201A;ections, then combining and editing them in his phone. The residency was his ďŹ rst visit to the museum, and he was very impressed by the range of WAMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s galleries, as well as their efforts to reach out to artists and audiences both inside and outside of Worcester. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They invite people to come do this for free and it just opens up so many possibilities for their work and their careerâ&#x20AC;? said Toussaint. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine how anyone wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to come here and take advantage of this wonderful program.â&#x20AC;? Toussaint has had his work displayed in ďŹ ne art galleries around the country, and is currently displaying an exhibition of his work called iScapes: A Photographic Journey Through the iPhone at the Quinebaug Valley Council for the Arts and Humanities in Southbridge, MA. There is no age or skill requirement to take part in the program. Anyone interested in doing a residency is invited to contact Katrina Stacy to set up a date. She can be reached via email at katrinastacy@worcesterart.org.

happenings,” says co-founder of 11th Hour, Angela Faneuf. The macabre, arabesque evening will “feature live music, sensational and unusual art…by local artists, light fare and libations, ﬁre juggling, [a] smoking parlor and hookah lounge, professional photo opportunities, and, of course, dancing.” In other words, the place will get wild and funky. Think: Provincetown Carnival meets acid test. “We vehemently encourage Steampunk inspired cocktail attire,…wild and outlandish masks, and any other ritualistic garb or exceptional oddities and contraptions that you can muster,” adds Faneuf. According to co-founders, Faneuf and Todd Desautels, the organization came together in 2006, when, according to them, they “were approached by Lookout Farm in Natick to create an elaborate fall pumpkin event,” which “featured thousands of intricately carved pumpkins glowing throughout a two-acre themed landscape.” Since that time, says Faneuf, “11th Hour Productions has been engaged in sustainable farming and agritourism events,” as well as “exploring cooperative business structures, as we feel these practices are more in line with our philosophies.” Adam Scher of Schmeldt Productions, which is helping to produce this event, says that “the Antiquinox Masquerade Ball was created by the three of us out of a mutual interest in music, art, and community collaborations.”

The musical component for the evening includes four acts, according to Faneuf. “[New York City’s] Platform One,” which, she says, “has been putting the steam into goth” since their launch into the electronic genre in Rhode Island back in 1999. Says Faneuf, “With a blend of darkness and dance music…they are best described as synth-pop for the Steampunks.” “Arcade Kid [from Queensland, Australia] will be performing [original] electro-rock with a live bassist,” she says, while “Vigilante Blue will be opening the evening with the sound of their sultry rock cocktail” and “[American DJ] Mizz Kitsune will keep people dancing with the infectious groove of her late-night turntablism,” which is some pretty trippy stuff, layering gonzo electronic sounds over odd, complex rhythms that are more than simple dance drivers. In addition, says Faneuf, “upon arrival, guests will be greeted with an outdoor ﬁrespinning dance performed by Flow Theory Fire” before entering the club and encountering “the original tiki mugs and oddities of [Worcester’s own] Scallywag Ceramics, the Steampunk-inspired jewelery of House Coniglio, the unique showcases made from the bones of mice and other small rodents of Capsulariums by Laurel Cunningham-Hill, and the extraordinary work of Crystal Blanchﬂower at Poison Apple Arts, just to name a few.” Lastly, Still & Stir, says Faneuf, “will be providing guests with inspired spirits, while the Cigar Bar is available to those who wish to enjoy hookah or cigars.” “After many years with an interest in hosting a masquerade a ball and a recent pumpkin art installation for a regional art group event,” says Faneuf, “11th Hour Farming Artists was inspired to collaborate with Schmeldt Productions in the creation of Antiquinox Masquerade Ball.” As for bringing it to Worcester, she says, “On a serendipitous occasion, we found ourselves at The Citizen in Worcester and knew right away that this location had all of the qualities we were looking for such an event.” According to Faneuf, “It is part of 11th Hour’s intent to bring awareness to the importance of community life and living in resonance with the natural rhythms of our world. This is why we choose certain times of year, like equinox, to host our events.” The Antiquinox Masquerade Ball promises to transform this block of downtown Worcester for the evening. Drop by this ambitious event and experience a transformation of your own.

Something is rotten in Denmark in the late 18th century. In fact, it is Denmark. Under the questionable leadership of a demented and infantile king and his bullying, elitist court, the country is in shambles. The poor live in ﬁlth and illness, while royalty hides behind gilt-edged curtains.

Into this mess steps Princess Caroline Matilda of Wales, who weds King Christian VII and is quickly exposed to his fragile mental state. On their ﬁrst meeting, he giggles nervously, and on their wedding night his “lovemaking” would be considered an arrestable offense if he didn’t rule the nation. As Mel Brooks once

gem.”

Let someone in famously remarked, “It’s good to be king.” “A Royal Affair” details the surprising ways that some good emerges from this font of instability. The ﬁlm is based on the true story of the king’s physician, Dr. Johann Struensee, who exerts a Rasputinlike inﬂuence on his patient to the point where Struensee becomes de facto emperor. A devout humanist and disciple of Voltaire and other pioneers of the Enlightenment, Struensee, in collaboration with Matilda, convinces the king to sign off on a number of progressive reforms to aid the peasants economically and weaken the monarchy’s stranglehold on law, society and culture. As the title would indicate, Struensee’s involvement takes a turn for the personal. continued on page 20

He and Matilda are of a single mind politically and of a single bed romantically once the castle staff calls it a night. She’s been isolated and depressed — Christian prefers the company of prostitutes — and sees Struensee as the man she would have been with had she married for love rather than national interest. The affair is, or course, incredibly risky, given that Struensee has made enemies of the now de-fanged Royal Council as well as Christian’s stepmother (yes, there is an evil stepmother!). There are two pregnancies,

about which I’ll say nothing more. At its heart “A Royal Affair” is a sort of endearing love triangle. Christian may have little use for his wife, but he’s headover-heels infatuated with Struensee, who displays a paternalistic affection for his boss. Matilda is more tolerant of Christian once he starts authorizing policies of change. And the doctor and the queen are as passionate, perhaps more so, about the progressive ideals they share than they are with each other’s bodies. Yes, their mutual arousal is sparked by longing looks exchanged across crowded rooms, but the passage of a

resolution to hire more waste collectors to clear the shit from Copenhagen’s streets also electrifies their loins. I’m fascinated by the actor playing Struensee, Mads Mikkelson. Most will recall him as the villain from the Bond film “Casino Royale” who wept blood. Mikkelson is handsome enough — he’s got cheekbones that could cut glass — yet there’s something glum and introspective about his bearing, which make him an uncommon leading man. He’s a perfect anti-hero, which may be why he’s starring as everybody’s favorite intellectual serial killer, Hannibal Lecter, in the TV series “Hannibal.” Mikkelson’s Struensee is quietly dignified, which is not to say he isn’t as blatantly ambitious as anyone else in the royal court. The difference between the doctor and the other palace opportunists is the selflessness of his motivations and his access to the king’s ear. You’ll want to stick around for the film’s final title card, which describes the fate of Denmark following these events. Suffice it to say, the waste collectors did a damn fine job. “A Royal Affair” will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Saturday, and 4:30 p.m. Sunday in the Jefferson Academic Center at Clark University as part of the Cinema 320 film series.

New Grille in Tatnuck Zoe Dee

Tatnuck Grille, having recently opened at the end of 2012, ﬁnally gives the west Tatnuck neighborhood quality sit-down dining with a menu that does not tout itself as being an expert at any one thing, and offers a variety of cuisines.

The atmosphere at Tatnuck Grille is humble in its approach. The design of the restaurant allows couples and groups to comfortably dine in booths with cushioned seats, surrounded by decorative black and white image wall hangings. A full bar area with counter seating, as well as tables for two, is separated by a half wall. The menu begins with a traditional appetizer list with favorites boneless

chicken wings, fried pickles, homemade onion rings, spinach and artichoke dip, and a basket of French fries. Catch of the day mussels, six oysters on the half shell and sesame seared ahi tuna, are welcome items next to the cheesy, fried others. The tuna, while indeed seared, is close to thoroughly cooked, lacking the cool, sashimi-like texture of medium rare tuna steaks. The dozen quarter-inch steaks are served atop a bed of seaweed salad that is flavorful and crunchy. Mild wasabi, pieces of fresh ginger and a thick soy-ginger sauce offer added flavors. The baked stuffed shrimp ($16.99) is five jumbo shrimp, each baked within a large mound of seafood stuffing that is incredibly rich and satisfying. The stuffing, made with haddock, salmon, and crab meat, is warm and practically melts in your mouth, and pairs well, both in flavor and texture, with the thick pieces of shrimp. With all entrees at Tatnuck Grille, diners are given the choice of baked potato, rice pilaf or French fries. Cooked carrots and green beans that are tender with a strong butter flavor are also served as a side. A create-your-own pasta dish ($10.99)

option gives diners the choice of six different sauces, from a creamed garlic Alfredo to a mild or Wow Hot marinara sauce with onions, peppers, mushrooms and herbs. More options are given to burger orders with a choice of meat, – angus beef, thai blue, Sam Adams beer burger or salmon – toppings, sauce and cheese. Traditional burgers and sandwiches (except the pastrami) are less than $10 and come served in a basket with French fries.

508.886.4771

The Home Of

Chef Albert Maykel I r o n

C h e f

The most expensive item on the menu, and possibly the best, is the grilled rib eye steak ($20.99). The 14-ounce piece of meat is cooked as requested; the medium-rare being seared with tender, juicy pink meat in the middle. The meat, on one particular occasion, was lean except for a small section of fat at one end of the cut. Despite a bar that extends one full wall of the establishment, draught beer offerings are limited and are priced at the higher end of Worcester’s average with a Wachusett Country Ale for $5.25. However, the crowd on a Monday night was lively with drinks in hand and seemed to have found their “spot” as the conversation sounded to be one of regulars. With an extensive menu and pleasant atmosphere, Tatnuck Grille is a welcome addition to the west-side neighborhood.

7 Nana Sarah Jane Nelson

It’s hard to miss 7 Nana on Shrewsbury Street. It’s the ﬁrst noticeable sign as you turn in off the rotary, and so much about this restaurant is designed to stand out. From the ﬂair of the hibachi to the waterfall and glowing chandelier, they are certainly making a presence. I’m not sure if an average roll is the best choice at 7 Nana, but on my visit I went with a classic, the Philadelphia Roll.

This roll featured smoked salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber, which I proceeded to enjoy with some soy sauce and wasabi. The dishware was interesting with an oriental-inspired style and a functional sushi-eating design. The downside to this roll, however, was that the rather fresh cream cheese overpowered the ﬂavor of the smoked salmon. It made for a lovely texture against the crisp cucumber, but in the end left me feeling a bit at a loss for the salmon. A friend of mine tried the Shrimp Tempura roll during our visit, which she really enjoyed. The Shrimp Tempura had a delicious sauce that I just had to smear some of my rolls in. The Philadelphia roll offers six bites for only $6. It’s one of the better cost-forquality sushi rolls I’ve had. The ambiance of 7 Nana is exciting and edgy — such a simple roll here may not offer the complete experience.

barreplayerstheater.com. Tartuffe by Jean Baptiste Poquelin Moliere - Sundays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Wednesday, March 20 - Sunday, March 24. Translated by Richard Wilbur Directed by Angela Brazil A con man, Tartuffe, deceives a wealthy gentleman, Orgon, tries to seduce Orgon’s wife, Elmire, and finally gets Orgon to sign over the family estate. Orgon’s family, friends, and servants all try to unmask and get rid of Tartuffe. A grab for power cloaked in piety and religion? A misuse of religion in the avoidance of personal responsibility? People so caught up in their own excesses they don’t notice what’s going on until it’s too late? Sounds entirely contemporary and all too familiar, though Moliere’s brilliant satire was written in 1669. $5, with College ID. 3-4:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m.-9 p.m. Clark University: Little Center, Experimental Theater, 950 Main St. Call 508-793-7356.

The Apple Tree - A Musical - Friday, March 22, Saturday, March 23 and Sunday, March 24. Director: Rip Pellaton, Producer: David Corkum, Musical Director: Chris Costello, Choreographer: Paige Pellaton. THE APPLE TREE is a unique evening of three oneact musicals about men, women and a little thing called temptation from the songwriting team of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF and SHE LOVES ME. The first act, “The Diary Of Adam And Eve,” is a quirky, touching spin on the tale of the world’s first couple, adapted from Mark Twain’s Extracts From Adam’s Diary. The second act, “The Lady Or The Tiger?,” explores the fickleness of love in a rock and roll fable set in a mythical barbarian kingdom. Finally, “Passionella” is based on Jules Feiffer’s offbeat Cinderella-story about a chimney sweep whose dreams of being a “glamorous movie star” nearly sabotage her one chance for true love. Adults $16, Seniors and Youth under 18 $13. Fri. & Sat. 7:30-9:30 p.m. Sun, 2-4 p.m. Gateway Players Theatre Arts Barn, 111 Main St., Southbridge.

Assumption College’s Department of Art, Music and Theatre will present Little Shop of Horrors, its 5th annual spring production at downtown Worcester’s Hanover Theatre, on Saturday, March 23 and Sunday, March 24. The Saturday performance runs from 8-1 pm. The Sunday Performance runs from 2-4 pm. Based on one of the longestrunning Off-Broadway shows, this affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a household name. A down-and out skid row floral assistant becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving. Soon, “Audrey II” grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite. Audrey II finally reveals itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination. Charming, tuneful and hilarious, Little Shop of Horrors never fails to entertain. Audience members are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to donate to the Worcester County Food Bank. Tickets cost $20 for adults, $10 for students and children, and $15 for seniors. Sat. 8-10 p.m., Sun. 2-4 p.m. Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts, 2 Southbridge St. Call 877-571-7469. The Runner Stumbles - Mondays, Wednesdays, Monday, March 25 - Wednesday, March 27. Pasture Prime Players, Inc. is proud to announce open auditions for “The Runner Stumbles” by Milan Stitt and directed by Rip Pellaton. There are roles for 5 men and 4 women, including a teenage girl. Auditions will be cold readings from the script and improvisation. The Story: A young nun has died under mysterious circumstances in a remote parish in northern Michigan, and her superior, Father Rivard, has been charged with her murder. The action alternates between interrogations, testimony and scenes from the past which reveal that Father Rivard, who had been banished to the small, up-country parish, fell in love with Sister Rita; and when circumstances forced her to move into the rectory with him, his anguish became unbearable. Their relationship, inevitably, spelt tragedy, but not until the explosive and surprising climax of the play is the full extent of their sacrifice made clear and the identity of the murderer revealed. 7-10 p.m. Charlton Arts and Activities Center, 4 Dresser Hill Rd., Charlton, MA., 4 Dresser Hill Road, Charlton. Call 508-248-5448 or visit pastureprime.org/auditions.html. Ina Garten: The Barefoot Contessa. INA GARTEN shares her natural approach to food; sharing tips, stories, and maybe even some recipes. Onstage, INA GARTEN delivers a charming insider’s view of the world of the Barefoot Contessa and the pleasures of good food, cooked with love and passion. Enjoy an interactive Q&A and join Ina after the show when she signs copies of her cookbooks for the audience. Full price tickets are $35.75, $45.75 and $55.75 depending on seating location. 10% discount available for members, groups of 10 or more, corporate partners, kids, students and WOO Card holders. 7:30-9:30 p.m. Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts, 2 Southbridge St. 877-571-7469 or thehanovertheatre.org.

Bob Smith STEVEN KING

Bob Smith is the owner of S & R Wallcovering Co. in Northborough. The 68-year-old professional wallcovering installer has been hanging wallpaper for 48 years. His most recent job was hanging the 17x67 foot mural that now decorates Worcester Art Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Renaissance Court, also known as the Wall at WAM. The new mural, entitled These Days of Maiuma, was commissioned by the museum from the husband and wife team of Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison. We went behind the scenes to ask Smith what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to install WAMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest addition. View the new artwork Bob Smith recently hung at an opening reception on Saturday, March 23 at the Worcester Art Museum in the Renaissance Court from 5-7 p.m.

Is the new mural at Worcester Art Museum the largest job youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done? No, that mural is 17 feet tall. I think the biggest one we did was for a theater. We hung 30 foot drops of suede, they use it for its acoustic properties.

So you can hang other materials besides paper? Yes, you can hang suede, silk, burlap, Flexwood. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all kinds of other materials besides paper that can be hung. In fact, the job title is technically â&#x20AC;&#x153;wallcovering installerâ&#x20AC;?, since most of the time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with other materials.

Wallpaper seems like such an old fashioned thing. Is there still a big market for it? There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a huge market

anymore, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a high-end thing. The installation is expensive; people like me who are still in the business have been doing it for a long time. Only the true tradesmen have survived.

How did you ďŹ rst become a paper hanger? I started S & R Wallcovering

Co. in 1969 with Ray Rickson. Four years before that I apprenticed for another guy who was in my bowling league. One day he asked me if I wanted to be a paster, and at the time I was working at the Water Department, for the Town of Northborough. He offered me $2.50 an hour, which was

almost double what I was making working for the town, so of course I said yes.

Is this the ďŹ rst time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked with Worcester Art Museum? The ďŹ rst time I

worked with them was in 2001 or 2002, I installed a mural like the one there now. This new one is the fourth piece Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve hung for them.

So youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty dedicated to the craft then? Oh yea, all I do is install

wallcovering. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been to the west coast, Florida, all over the country. You have to do a little traveling, but I enjoy it.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your least favorite thing about your job? Well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not fond of doing

part of it. If there are imperfections underneath the wallcovering, it will come through on the surface and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see it.

Do you have wallpaper in your house? Yea, I have it all over, even on the ceiling. Although, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much actual wallpaper, its mostly commercial wallcoverings. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more durable and easier to clean.

Do you have a favorite job that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done? I really enjoyed working in

Florida. Tradewise it was a challenge. The client bought the eleventh and twelfth ďŹ&#x201A;oors of a condo building, and I had to work around a spiral staircase that went between them. But he put me up in the condo for six weeks, and this place was right by the water, you know, next stop: England, so it had a great view of the water. He even ďŹ&#x201A;ew me back for Christmas.

If you could install wallcovering anywhere, where would it be? Anywhere, I just enjoy my job. You know, one time I had a job in Silicon Valley, in California, and when we got there they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready for us, so we ended up golďŹ ng for three days [laughs]. So it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter where the job is.

the prepwork, but its the most critical
