hen I first heard about a church renting space at Worcester Tech for Sunday services, my first reaction was bewilderment. That can’t be allowed, I thought, thinking first of the separation of church and state. After that issue was cleared up – schools rent space to outside groups all the time on weekends, apparently – my second thoughts compared the situation to my Catholic upbringing, where parishes aren’t something a regular resident can just plant anywhere they like. Some people might not have ever heard of churches without a church building, but this week’s cover story features churches in schools, movie theaters, the Worcester Common, storefronts, and yes, regular steeple churches. And more are popping up seemingly every month. You may have seen the billboards or the websites, but how much do you really know about these start-up churches? In the wake of Catholic and mainline Protestant declines, these newer pastors and churches are becoming more ingrained in our culture, and it looks like many of them are here to stay. – Tom Quinn, reporter

Lincoln Street tragedy rekindles safety concerns

PHOTOS/STEVEN KING

Tom Quinn and Jared Zanghi

fter siblings Gina and George Burdick were struck by a drunk driver on Sept. 26, with Gina Burdick dying at the scene after being dragged under the car and her brother being put on life support, old concerns about the safety of Lincoln Street are resurfacing. Daniel Depew, a 29-year-old from Ayer with two previous convictions for driving under the influence in Texas, was arraigned in Worcester District Court Sept. 28 on a slew of charges, the most serious of which is motor vehicle homicide. He is currently being held without bail, being deemed too dangerous to release. The Burdicks were reportedly unloading groceries outside 128 Lincoln St. when they were struck. Depew allegedly left the area, came back minutes later and fled again, according to media reports of a prosecutor’s remarks during a dangerousness hearing in Worcester District Court Sept. 29. Depew is due back in court Oct. 27. George Burdick is not expected to recover from his injuries, with family members referencing the end of his life online and saying he would be taken off life support. His condition remained critical earlier this week, according to hospital representatives reached at UMass Medical Center. Neighbors, who had only good things to say about the pair, say the incident

was shocking and left a mark on the neighborhood. “We saw [George Burdick] lying down near the gutter, his head was bleeding so bad,” neighbor Deborah Dubois said. “Groceries were scattered on the street. It was horrific. I haven’t been sleeping since.” The incident is the fifth fatal vehiclepedestrian collision on Lincoln Street in the last four years. Last year, on Nov. 4, Janet Graham was killed near 292 Lincoln St. after a driver lowered her visor to block glare from the sun. The 72-yearold Graham succumbed to her injuries at the hospital. On Feb. 27, 2013, Marion Mandel was killed near 245 Lincoln St. Mandel was attempting to cross the street from east to west, and a driver in the northbound lane could not swerve early enough to avoid the 69 year old, who was conscious at the scene

Recent tragedy causes more safety concerns for Lincoln Street

but later died from her injuries. In 2011, two people were killed in less than a week. On Nov. 22, 2011, a 60-year-old man was killed near 560 Lincoln St. He was pronounced dead at the scene with severe injuries. And on Nov. 26 of the same year, a 47-year-old woman was killed in the area of 148 Lincoln St., steps from where the

Public money at issue in potential PawSox bid Tom Quinn

iscussion about the WorSox, or the WooSox, or the Worcester Red Sox, is back in governmental circles, and this time elected officials think they have a better shot at bringing the Pawtucket Red Sox minor league baseball team to the Heart of the Commonwealth. Although questions about the appropriateness of the Boston Red Sox affiliate in Worcester remain, the City Council on Tuesday showed a willingness to discuss a theoretical proposition, although there was widespread opposition to using taxpayer money to fund the project. The full order, brought forward by District 5 Councilor Gary Rosen and District 2 Councilor Phil Palmieri, requests the “City Manager inform City Council as to whether he and other representatives from the city intend to meet with the owners of the Pawtucket Red Sox to see if they have any interest in relocating to Worcester.” City Manager Ed Augustus Jr. was out of state at a conference, so the order was held until next week’s meeting. “I think this is probably one of the more exciting proposals we’ve had in quite some time,” Palmieri said. “I think there is a real opportunity for the city of Worcester and the entire region to land the Pawtucket Red Sox.” The renewed hope for Worcester comes as a deal for a waterfront stadium in Providence, Rhode Island fell through. A relatively new PawSox ownership team, led by Red Sox president and CEO Larry Lucchino, has said the team will not stay in Pawtucket. Providence rejected a deal that would have gotten the PawSox $150 million over 30

years, paying back $30 million and paying no city taxes. “I would certainly not want us to spend anywhere near the amount of money they asked for in Providence,” District 3 Councilor George Russell said. “Nowhere near the amount of money.” Rosen, who along with Palmieri filed an order in February asking the city to team up with the Chamber of Commerce and Canal District leaders to make a pitch to the PawSox when they were looking for a new site, said it couldn’t hurt to talk to team ownership. “It might be wise for Worcester to just talk to them,” Rosen said. “They may have learned a lesson through negotiations with Providence and may not be asking for the store now. They may have some more reasonable needs and demands.” The idea of spending taxpayer money has been rejected by the city manager in the past, and councilors pointed out that the city already has a baseball team – the Worcester Bravehearts, who recently won their second championship in their second season in the Futures Collegiate Baseball League, owned by local businessman John Creedon Jr. “Those are the magic words – somebody has dedicated their own money to a sports team,” At-large Councilor Konnie Lukes said. “And if we’re looking at being serious, we have to be serious in saying we’re not going to put any public funds into this project.” “It would cost us something if we make overtures without doing our homework,” Lukes continued, saying the team was not a priority. The Bravehearts have set FCBL attendance records, and have curried favor

Creedon, often brought into conversations around the PawSox, said last week he was happy people were talking about baseball and voiced confidence in his product. Still, some could

be worried that the PawSox, which draw an average of around 6,500 fans compared to 2,100 for the Bravehearts, might drive a hometown team out with glimpses of Boston stars on rehab assignments.

Two Worcester teachers ready to fly - again Walter Bird Jr.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

rounded by circumstances beyond their country, Worcester East Middle School teachers Howie Fain and Stacy Lord last month came oh, so close to soaring above the clouds courtesy of a NASA program that saw the tandem become the first Massachusetts teachers chosen as Airborne Astronomy Ambassadors. The pair expected to fly aboard SOFIA, a converted 747 airplane, as part of NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy mission. Actually, they were scheduled to fly twice, but issues with the plan scuttled their plans. Having spent about a week in Palmdale, California waiting for the ride of their lives, the two returned to Worcester not having experienced a flight to the stratosphere, where images up to thousands of light years away would have been taken and other data recorded. When they departed for home, however, Fain and Lord left with an Arnold Schwarzenegger-like promise from NASA: They’d be back. The agency kept its word, informing the two teachers they would be heading back to California in November. “We’re 99 percent sure,” Fain, who teaches science, said of their planned Nov. 11 flight to California. They would be there Nov. 12-13. When the SOFIA mission fell through last month, Lord said officials were immediately planning a return for the teaching duo. “They were already trying to figure out a way to get us back out there this year,” the art teacher said. It would be the first open week after all the other ambassador teams who were chosen to participate in the program had completed their missions. The SOFIA missions are carried out with two teams of two teachers. Fain and Lord had been paired with a team from Maine during their first visit. They do not know yet whether that team will take part in the makeup mission. Even though their plans of flying skyhigh with NASA fell through after a rigorous LINCOLN STREET continued from page 4

contributing factor from drivers,” Powers said. “[But] what I see as a common factor in all these accidents is that Lincoln Street in that area is very wide.” Jim Magay, who has a front-row seat to Lincoln Street traffic from his optician’s office, said there is definitely a systemic problem with drivers and pedestrians on the heavily-traveled road, even aside from the extenuating circumstances of this week’s incident. “Lincoln Street seems to be thought of as a main thoroughfare, rather than a place to

Worcester East Middle School teachers Howie Fain and Stacy Lord application process that included participating in an online graduate-level Astronomy for Teachers course, Fain and Lord were not moping upon their return. “It was a little bit of a letdown,” said Lord. “It was a disappointment, I guess. I think I actually liked it a lot more than I thought I would. We had training the whole week. We got to tour the facility, spending time with the researchers. Now when we go back, I think I’ll be a little more relaxed.” Fain agreed, calling the time in the program a “thrilling week.” “We got the privilege of more time [at the facility],” he said. “I actually expected to be more disappointed.” As a result of the canceled missions (they

were scheduled to take two flights), Fain and Lord took part in three mission briefings, which they called a valuable learning experience. They spent time learning about the aircraft, listening to an astronomer and exploring other aspects of the program. Still, had they flown - and if their makeup mission successfully takes flight - both would have been allowed to take off and land while in the cockpit. With onboard approval, they would be permitted to enter the cockpit anytime during the flight. Canceled flight notwithstanding, Fain and Lord both said the experience was invaluable, which no doubt would satisfy NASA. The agency’s SOFIA mission aims to contribute to the reform of STEM education, which includes

stop and get out,” Magay said. “So people don’t realize people live here, they just think of it as a way to get from point A to point B.” A city official was not immediately available to comment on plans for Lincoln Street going forward, but DPW commissioner Paul Moosey spoke about the street to Worcester Magazine in December about pedestrians and drivers sharing Worcester’s roadways (“Walking in Worcester: Pedestrians, vehicles battle for right of way,” Dec. 18) “When you drive Lincoln, there’s not impaired vision or sharp corners,” Moosey said at the time. “Maybe it’s just a fluke, but

there have been fatalities on Lincoln, as we all know.” Magay said it takes him longer than 5 minutes simply to cross the street because of heavy traffic, and while he said he did not have a solution at the ready outside of a heavier police presence with radar guns, he said something needs to change. “We’ve certainly had our share of injuries and fatalities here – people drive like mad people around here,” Magay said. “Something has to be done before more people get injured or killed.” Powers said he would like to see the travel

science, technology, engineering and math. The ultimate goal is for teachers to implement classroom lessons based on their mission experiences. While theirs may have been only partially completed, Fain and Lord said they gained enough knowledge to impart on their students. “I’m coming up with ideas for the classroom to incorporate what we learned,” Lord said. “There’s a tremendous amount we have brought back.” As part of an applied learning lab, Fain said he has a space exploration unit as part of his curriculum. “Most of the SOFIA experience and knowledge is going to come into play when I do that unit,” he said. “I just learned so much about infrared targeting, planetary systems [and other aspects of astronomy].” Fain did not wait to share his experience with students. He arranged a viewing of the recent lunar eclipse outside Worcester East Middle School. He estimated approximately 200 people showed up, with some even bringing their own telescopes. Lord, an artist, said her time training for the SOFIA mission prepared her to be able to talk more about experiences such as viewing the eclipse. “I can now talk to students and share this work that is more science-based,” she said, emphasizing what she called the “tie-in between art and science.” While Lord said her experience took her outside her comfort zone, Fain said he, too, was exposed to new experiences. While he teaches science, Fain has taught the past 12 years. Before that, he said he did not have a science background. Both teachers are excited about another chance to fly with SOFIA, but they are just as passionate about sharing what they learn — and what they have learned — with more than the students in their classrooms. “Both of us have links to the community,” Fain said. “We both do things beyond the school walls. We plan to bring this into our community and beyond.” lanes narrowed to encourage people to travel the speed limit, which is posted as 30 miles per hour. “Because it’s wide, it encourages people to go faster than the speed limit,” Powers said.

Still, there are potential benefits to a partnership. Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Tim Murray said last week that the organization had logged a call with PawSox ownership, who have not responded to a request for comment on the story last week. And many have referenced the blighted Wyman-Gordon property as a perfect site for an economic driver like a sports team to come into Worcester. “The Worcester Bravehearts have been an economic spinoff, and they’re an independent, college baseball futures league,” Rushton said. “Yes, of course the WooSox would be an economic spinoff. The question when we do our homework, because we’re going to do it, is if it’s worth every penny we put into it.” Although the Council did not come away with any clear answers to their questions, the order’s proponents urged their colleagues to have hope and stay positive. “For us to be able to be in the same sentence, to have the opportunity to talk with Larry Lucchino from the Red Sox, nothing better than that at this point in time,” Palmieri said.

At-large City Councilor Konnie Lukes bristled at some of the language used by colleague Rick Rushton during Tuesday’s Council meeting, especially a speech the outgoing councilor made about how one of Lukes’ motions was “drivel” and “dancing around” what she wanted to say. Lukes and Rushton’s squabbles are the stuff of daytime television, but this episode was particularly juicy after Lukes called the Traffic and Parking Subcommittee, which had been chaired by Rushton at one point, a “graveyard for defeated mayoral candidates” and asked that its entire existence be looked at, suggesting the administration might be able to do its job better after a motion asking for speedier action on one specific handicapped parking problem. Rushton, of course, lost to Lukes in the 2007 mayoral election, and he took issue with her motion, saying that if traffic and parking issues get caught in the “machinations” of the administration it could lead to more problems and less transparency. Later in the night, Rushton would fire back at Lukes for suggesting that the administration do their homework before making a pitch to the PawSox, saying he had full confidence in the administration to do things the right way. Kind of a lukewarm message to the administration, but a rotating case seems to have their back in every argument. Not to be outdone in terms of talking in circles, Lukes later withdrew her motions asking to look at the subcommittee’s function and what the administration could handle. Good to see Council conversations leading to real, substantive action.

MY NAME IS SQUIRREL: If a squirrel

gets inside any other building in the city, you’d probably never hear about it. But when a squirrel gets loose in the vents of the Telegram and Gazette building on Front Street? You’d better believe you’re hearing about it. One of the little rodents was sighted in the newsroom this week, and the paper came close to imploding. There were live tweets, photos, a video, cartoons, even a dedicated Twitter account – no, I’m not making any of this up. There have been earthquakes with less coverage devoted to them than this squirrel. The last update before publication was a trapping attempt, although broadcasting your intentions so publicly is bad news, strategically. Hey, you can never be too careful.

HOARDERS BE READY: The History Channel

show American Pickers is coming to Worcester to film part of an upcoming season. Destination Worcester is earning their keep marketing the show as “a documentary on the History channel that explores the art of ‘antique picking.’” That’s a tad generous – a more forthright description might be that the show is a reality TV program about buying old junk and selling it at a higher price. Get any comparisons to the Antiques Roadshow out of your head – the tone is somewhere between Pawn Stars and Bill Nye the Science Guy. The pickers seem to be interested in any kind of junk except farming/ agriculture items, tools, glassware, appliances, tractors, crocks, stoves or country primitives, according to Destination Worcester. They’ve talked on the show about the East Coast being their favorite place to go because of the age of many of the items, so Worcester should live up to the History channel’s high standards.

SOAPBOX OPERA: If the number of times

candidates have come right up against the time limits in the various debates and forums this political season is any indication, At-large City Council hopefuls will take any opportunity to make their voice heard. WCUW community access radio is giving candidates a very specific amount of time as a free supplement to their regular campaigning – 91.3 seconds, appropriate since it matches their station number. Good thing an AM station isn’t running a similar promotion, since a minute and a half is already pushing it in terms of length. WCUW’s promotion is called “The Biggest Little Soap Box in Worcester,” and candidates will be allowed to record up to five spots that will air that week, with the station planning to run almost hourly on weekdays between Oct. 5 and Oct. 30. The election is on Nov. 3, and the station is hoping that in addition to allowing candidates to blow off some hot air, the spots will remind people to vote.

Reed Hillman, former State Treasurer Shannon O’Brien and Juliette Kayyem will talk about election timing, campaign financing and candidate selection before the political scientists jump in with their thoughts. All the above speakers also ran and lost for either Governor or Lt. Governor at some point as well, so hopefully the discussion will be more refreshing than hearing Gov.

DOGS OF POST-WAR: Bill Moore, the founder of Project New Hope (an organization

that provides retreats and other services for military veterans), is running an online crowdfunding campaign – for a dog. Specifically, Freedom, a service dog that relieves symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress. Moore’s insurance won’t pay for the dog, which can cost up to $6,000, so he turned to Gofundme for help. In two days, he raised $985 toward a $3,000 goal. Worcesterites are no stranger to crowdfunding, where multiple small donations add up to reach a larger goal – Annie’s Clark Brunch recently bought new equipment on the strength of a crowdfunding campaign. And while it’s true this campaign won’t help anyone satisfy their craving for pancakes, two things people are generally OK with are dogs and veterans, so the campaign has a shot.

SILLY SEASON: District 4 City Councilor Sarai Rivera felt the wrath of the political

gods – or at least the Massachusetts Republican Party – for campaign finance bookkeeping discrepancies. The conservative group urged the Office of Campaign and Political Finance to investigate Rivera’s campaign financing and assess any appropriate fines. Rivera said the letter was par for the course when running against a Republican, Jackie Kostas, in her reelection campaign. Not so, said party communications director Terry MacCormack. “Submitting something like this isn’t a comment on the race,” MacCormack said, saying the letter was the fourth the party had sent out this year. “It’s more about transparency and holding someone accountable.” Very altruistic of them, and it seems as if this is something they monitor regularly, since when reached by phone Kostas claimed to know nothing about any letter or campaign finance discrepancies. At-large City Councilor and mayoral candidate Mike Gaffney was also in the news for an advertisement he runs on a controversial local blog. Payment for the ad doesn’t show up on his campaign reports, but someone has been complaining about the partnership, which is forbidden when any donation, monetary or otherwise, given to a candidate has to be reported. The check is in the mail, Gaffney told Masslive.com, so the issue should be resolved. Rivera and Gaffney’s campaign finance reports, along with everyone else in the Council race, are available at ocpf.us.

SUNSPOTS: Harvard’s Nieman Journalism Lab features are one of those things journalists

love to read and everyone else pretty much ignores, but there’s a good piece this week by media expert and Northeastern professor Dan Kennedy on the Worcester Sun, which launched in August. Worcester Magazine also got a mention in the list of publications that make Worcester a “highly competitive media environment.” So what’s on the horizon for the weekly online-only Sun? A paid Sunday print edition, and hiring 20 full and part-time journalists, a number that would far outpace everyone in the competition except the Telegram. We’ll file that second wish under long-term goals. Getting access to Sun stories now will cost you $2 per week, or $104 a year, which of course means on a reporter’s salary that I haven’t actually read it. But if Dan Kennedy is writing about you you’re doing something right, or at least unique.

IT’S A SIGN: Sometimes it’s not about politics, it’s about branding. Or maybe it’s about both,

I’m not a campaign strategist. Residents on the West Side may have noticed new political signs for “Gary Rosen City Council – Beautiful District 5.” Residents on the West Side may also have noticed that Rosen does not have an opponent in the Nov. 3 election, so the signs could be advertising Margaret Thatcher for all the political influence they’ll have. Rosen was good-natured about the signs - “I don’t want to lose to blanks,” he said, referencing voters who don’t cast a vote for any district candidate. What would happen if there were more blank votes than votes for a living, breathing human being? Rosen has beaten human candidates before, but can he beat apathy? Yes, probably, but either way his “beautiful district 5” slogan gets a bit more exposure.

ssuming it does not violate constitutional rights, a bill put forth by state Sen. Jennifer Flanagan, D-Worcester/Middelsex, and championed by Millbury state Sen. Mike Moore, D-2nd Worcester, should be advanced through the Statehouse. In short, Flanagan is calling for an expansion of an existing program used to help determine abuse of alcohol and drugs. Flanagan wants to require schools to screen students in the 7th and 10th grades for signs of addiction and drug abuse. She has been quick to point out to doubters and critics that she is not calling for drug testing, and points out there would be no criminal ramifications. Senate Bill 284, “An Act relative to preventing adolescent substance abuse by expanding SBIRT,” would amend existing law to call for a “substance use screening using a validated tool.” Screenings, according to language in the bill, would be performed by nurses, physicians “or other personnel who are approved by the Department of Public Health ...” “SBIRT” stands for Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment. The bill stipulates that screening results would not be recorded for inspection, and all results would be recorded without identifying information. Children or their guardians could opt out of the screening, according to a report from the Sentinel & Enterprise. Among the skeptics was Gov. Charlie Baker, but he admitted last week he misunderstood the bill initially. He has since signaled his support for the legislation, a key victory for Flanagan’s hopes of shuttling the bill through the state Legislature. The governor also said the state should foot the bill. We view this legislation as close to a no-brainer as there is when it comes to whether lawmakers should show their support. However, we suggest no opt-out clause. We do not believe it to be unconstitutional to want to ensure that students going through the public school system are not struggling with drug addiction. If there is no punitive measure attached to the bill, we see no reason not to require all 7th- and 10th-graders to be screened. The opioid drug crisis facing Massachusetts, and ripping through Worcester, is more than a problem. It is an emergency of epic proportions. In about a week’s time since the start of the month, there were some 80-plus heroin overdoses in Worcester. Not all were fatal, but one should be enough. There have been many more than that. Talk is just talk, and we have heard plenty in this city and around the state. Action has been taken, but those on the front lines — the ones dealing with this epidemic head on — say it is not enough. In Worcester, folks such as Athena Haddon of Everyday Miracles should not only be listened to about the issue, given she deals with a segment of the population that includes many users and recovering addicts – she should be sought out for help in crafting real, practical ways of combating the overdose scourge causing so much devastation. We must start right from the beginning – and that means with kids. They will not always be kids, but that is when most of these adults-to-be will first experiment with drugs. If we do not recognize the signs early on, the next time we get the chance to help them very well may be when they are lying unconscious from an overdose. That is much too late, and it is worth implementing a measure such as Flanagan’s, even if it offends some people’s liberties. Baker has made opioid abuse one of his main targets since becoming governor. He — and the state — is being given another weapon in the battle against drug addiction. We encourage our lawmakers to vet this bill and approve it. It is not too dramatic to suggest the future of our children may depend on it.

Told you so

ho doesn’t secretly love to whisper: “I told you so?” In March this year, I wrote a column that generated more flak than a World War II ball turret. In it, I pointed out several issues I had with a recent claim by members of the Coming Together Collective — members of which were part of the Mosaic Cultural Complex — that racism is rampant among Worcester’s educators. In my column, I refuted the idea that North High’s problems with violence and assaults on teachers were race-related. I also suggested that timing is everything, and the Collective’s hastily-held press conference seemed to coincide with a Sunday Telegram front-page interview in which Worcester School Superintendent Melinda Boone declared herself a stranger in a strange land, even after six years as a Worcester resident. In her interview Boone described a traumatic childhood incident involving herself and a white teacher. The superintendent implied she was responsible for having the teacher fired after treating Boone poorly due to her race. It seemed odd to me the Collective/Mosaic would jump on the race issue two days later. When I suggested in my column such chatter might lead to a business opportunity for the diversity program that Mosaic offers, I was accused of being disrespectful to Dr. Boone. This accusation came in the infamous email sent out to 174 North High staffers, including cafeteria and custodial help, by my then-principal Lisa Dyer. In her scathing, if poorlywritten missive, Dyer also attacked me for using the word “colorblind.” Dyer labeled me “culturally incompetent” and aligned me with a blog she considers racist. The sonic boom her email caused in my life personally and

professionally has not abated, nor do I expect it to any time soon. The spotlight the Collective/Mosaic members turned on themselves by holding a press conference may have burned brighter than intended. Questions arose regarding the tax status of the complex, and soon an audit was begun, illuminating the city’s connection to the business. The audit, requested by City Councilor and mayoral candidate Michael Gaffney, along with Councilor Gary Rosen, has yet to be completed. However, Mosaic’s influence with the city hasn’t ended. Keesha LaTulippe is shilling for “Red Tab,” and her course entitled “Moving Beyond Diversity” is being offered as professional development for WPS educators. The word “Mosaic” is nowhere to be found on the flyer, but Keesha LaTulippe is listed as an instructor. I’m still mystified by the grip this group holds on Worcester’s leaders. Mayor Joseph Petty has done back flips to accommodate them; in a desperate attempt to look like he’s the guy in charge, Petty has only succeeded in looking like a push-over. His undying allegiance to Dr. Boone may seem admirable to some, but his silence regarding the child porn arrests and the leaked memos hinting at a cover-up could hurt him in November. He’s feeling pretty safe after acing the September election, but the Collective/Mosaic crew didn’t rally voters, if the stats are accurate. Ah, well. For those teachers interested in learning more about the professional development LaTulippe is offering, she can be reached at Keesha@redtab.org. For every teacher who signs up $100 will line the pockets of the folks who brought you the Kelly Square Four. Here’s where I give in to the urge to say, “I told you so,” only I’m not whispering. This time, I’m shouting.

Empowering the next industrial generation T Timothy P. Murray

he Worcester Region sits at the heart of many manufacturing milestones and inventions that have helped shape our economic prowess over the past two centuries. While today’s rapidly changing manufacturing climate demands higher pay for more advanced skill sets, we remain cognizant of one stark reality: By 2020, there will be 100,000 people in our state leaving manufacturing because they’ll be aging out of the workforce. Massachusetts is facing a critical shortfall in skilled workers. Statewide, manufacturing companies in 2014 had a nearly 67-percent increase in jobs created, 71-percent increase in the number of new hires, 63-percent increase in sales and 79-percent increase in cost savings. Manufacturing in Worcester was the strongest sector in comparison to Boston, as reported in the most recent census. Across Worcester County, 31,279 people were employed in manufacturing, and nearly

10,000 people had city-based manufacturing jobs. The average annual wage today for a manufacturing worker in Massachusetts is $70,000. To help bring attention to this staffing shortage and re-training challenge, the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce has invited area school administrators, guidance counselors, and manufacturing professionals, on the eve of National Manufacturing Day Friday, Oct. 2, to its “Made in Central Mass. - Manufacturing Matters” panel discussion. It is set for Oct. 1 at the Beechwood Hotel on Plantation Street in Worcester, from 4-5 p.m. An expert panel, including Keith A. Poirier, environmental, health and safety manager of Bonded Abrasives & Superabrasives at Saint-Gobain Abrasives; Bill DiBenedetto, president of the Lampin Corporation; and Leslie Parady, workforce development manager at

MassMEP, will discuss key challenges and successes in local manufacturing. That event is one of many micro and macro steps that will need to be taken to meet the challenges ahead. Our current workforce challenge starts and ends with empowering and training an even higher percentage of high school and college students. Getting past negative stigmas is a good first step. There’s a lot more to manufacturing today than pulling levers on an assembly line. Companies in Worcester and surrounding towns are offering a steadily-growing number of high-tech, high-skilled, and high-paying careers. They are looking for engineers, designers, machinists, and computer programmers that work in an environment surrounded by 3-D printers, robotic welders, and a host of advanced computerintegrated manufacturing technologies. The federal government has also recognized this gaping workforce need by recently devoting $100 million in grants for creating and expanding manufacturing student apprenticeship programs. A new workforce generation isn’t the only priority here. Smaller-sized manufacturers also need to re-educate their existing younger workforces. This trend is evident in successful incumbent worker training and grant funded collaborations between the Massachusetts Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MASSMEP) and local companies such as A&M Tool and Die in Southbridge, INCOM Inc. of Charlton, Swissturn/USA Inc. in

Oxford and H.T. Machine in Webster. Moreover, reaching out to colleges such as Quinsigamond Community College, UMass Lowell and WPI with advanced training programs is another proven method aimed at attracting students to promising careers in manufacturing. But even with these very positive steps, we still face a mammoth workforce shortage. There are many historic examples of workforce shortages in manufacturing realms that were solved locally. Encouraging Irish immigrants to help build the Blackstone Canal and railroads solved one of Worcester’s first major employee shortages. The same type of ingenuity was seen during WWII when women flocked to factories like St. Pierre Chain Corporation in Worcester to help our nation build and survive during its greatest time of need. Whether it was William A. Wheeler’s foresight in driving innovation for steam power in 1820s right here in Worcester, or today’s WPI Gateway Park Life Sciences and Bioengineering Center offering fully-occupied graduate research laboratories, life science companies and state-of-the-art facilities, the future of manufacturing in Worcester County is not in question. Workforce shortages are a good problem to have and one we will find solutions to through regional educational partnerships and creative innovations. Timothy P. Murray is president and CEO of the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce

Make way for the ‘nones’ New Churches rising up in Worcester Tom Quinn

It doesn’t really matter if Mike thinks this is what he wants to do. But how do you affirm that? It’s not only seeing a need, but seeing an opportunity. – Mike Sullivan, pastor of Emmaus City Church.

f it seems like there is a church on just about every corner in Worcester, that may not be a stretch. In the last month alone, a few Christian churches have started services, and there are a variety of options for the religiously-inclined to choose from outside the ancient traditions of some centuries-old branches. In the years after the clergy abuse scandal rocked the Catholic Church, there are plenty of examples of successful start-up churches to model a new church after – and the mindset of the people running them can be a window into the diverse Christian spectrum.

JESUS CHRIST’S SUPERSTARS The first thing a new church

needs is a leader. The common theme with many pastors and reverends is they did not decide to start a church the same way someone would open a bakery or barbershop; starting a church is a calling, they say, and answering the call involves hard work and dedication.

Pastor Tom Sparling started The Journey Community Church five years ago, with services in Worcester Technical High School once the school opened. Somewhat uniquely among pastors who choose to start churches, Sparling is no spring chicken. The son of a Baptist minister, he calls himself a “recovering fundamentalist.” “I’ve been in ministry for 30 years,” Sparling said. “I think that one of the things that has helped us grow is that when you’ve been in ministry a long time, you’ve kind of been through every scenario. The relational difficulties, moving churches through transitional periods. That experience has helped us where younger church planters might get caught.” Sparling has seen his church grow to an average Sunday attendance of around 300, and recently joined with the old Belmont Street Baptist Church to find a permanent home and building, renovating parts of the inside. Still, he says the focus of a new church is on the people, not the place. “Seeing church plantings come and go –

you can have a great idea for a church, but if you don’t have good preaching, you’re not going to succeed,” Sparling said. Pastor Muriel Sanborn was sent out from Triumphant Life Church, a Pentecostal church in the city, to start Victory in Christ Church on Pleasant Street in 2001. She says it was a challenge at first, but the thriving church now serves a diverse population downtown. “There are so many churches that have male pastors, that it’s hard to break through in the community,” Sanborn said. Sanborn, a retired nurse, talked particularly about the elderly when explaining her ministry, saying healthcare was one of the most important aspects of someone’s life, and many people rely on churches to provide comfort and help. “I utilize the nursing knowledge probably more now than I did when I was a nurse,” Sanborn said. The Reverend Carla Dietz is the settled pastor at Greendale People’s Church, an institution on Francis Street. The nondenominational church had a similar start to other independent churches, but with one major difference: it was started in 1895, and has had more than a century to grow. “It was started by folks who worked at the Norton Corporation,” Dietz said. “It was a church for the people who worked in Greendale to worship, and it didn’t matter what denomination they were. That’s how it started, and that’s how it stayed.” Dietz herself has been the reverend at the church fewer than three years, but her calling to the clergy was a culmination of a career path that, after stops in the business side of showbiz and special education, led her to be ordained in the United Church of Christ, one of the largest mainline Protestant continued on page 14

denominations in the country. She was initially raised Catholic, a religion with more traditional, stricter views on church hierarchy. “You can’t be a [Catholic] priest if you’re a girl,” Dietz said. “So I put that one on the backburner for a long, long time. And now I’ve fulfilled what I think was a childhood desire.” Mike Sullivan is one of the newest members of the new breed of pastors, holding the first formal service for his Emmaus City Church less than a month ago, Sept. 12. He said he was called to ministry – leaving a job at Clark University to answer it – and saw a need for a branch of the Christian Reform Church in Worcester. “It doesn’t really matter if Mike thinks this is what he wants to do,” Sullivan said, “But how do you affirm that? It’s not only seeing a need, but seeing an opportunity.” Sullivan is not a Worcester native, having grown up in a variety of states, experiencing a variety of religions. That is not uncommon for those looking to shepherd a flock in the Heart of the Commonwealth. David Payne, the founding pastor of the non-denominational Lifesong Church, grew up in Kansas City and almost played professional soccer for the New England Revolution before heeding what he says was God’s call. His goal is to spruce

up Sundays, providing a church experience people want to come back to. “[The] 21st century culture is different from 15th century culture. And everyone except the church gets that,” Payne said. “People come in [to Lifesong] and say, ‘This is a church? It doesn’t look like a church.’”

COME, FOLLOW THEM The next thing any new

church leader has to do is find people to come to church; after all, it’s not really a church if there is only one person in it. Not every church succeeds, though, and even well-established churches have been rapidly losing membership.

comfortable with.” Sparling estimated around 90 percent of people who joined Journey Community Church in 2010 discovered it on Facebook or elsewhere online. For that reason, his church skews younger, although he insists it is more a product of the message rather than any conscious effort to attract a certain kind of person. The church, he says, is intergenerational and relatively diverse culturally. “We’re not trying to be super edgy or emergent,” Sparling said. “We don’t put on a rock show every Sunday. What we’re finding about Millennials, at least those who are hungry spiritually, is they have a great desire to be folded into a community.” Payne does not shy away from using the term “marketing campaign” to describe the online presence Lifesong and other churches use, along with billboards or other signs, to attract people to religion – a strategy that for him, has yielded an average weekly attendance of 1,100 at Lifesong services. “It’s really evident in Scripture that the growth of a local church is not something man can manufacture. Our job is to steward what God does,” Payne said. “I don’t know that there’s any greater message or destination than a local church. Why would I not want to bring people to that?”

options it has for non-denominational services. “[Sunday], I preached about it, that these people were geniuses,” said Dietz, adding Greendale People’s Church draws an average of 400-450 people. “And my folks just died laughing, because they don’t want that. They want a choir, the organ, the piano, the preacher. Which is fine, but you can’t deny that Next Level Church is brilliant.” Archer said the less traditional approach works for Next Level Church, but stressed it was all about authenticity, and that there was no wrong way to run a church program as long as the congregation felt comfortable. “We’re true to who we are,” Archer said. “We don’t try to be something we’re not. If we showed up on the weekends and tried wearing a suit and tie and playing an organ, the culture is going to read that as fake, because that’s not who we are. But there’s hundreds of churches where they’re doing that, and that’s who they are, and people love that because that’s who they are. It’s authentic.” A common theme among some of the fastest growing churches – Next Level Church was ranked the eighth-fastest growing church in the country in 2015 by Outreach Magazine, while Lifesong Church was 46th – is the idea of modernizing a

church often derided as outdated. “Sunday should be the best day of the week,” Payne said. “There’s nothing in the Bible that says church should be morose. Reverence doesn’t mean it has to be boring … Our mission is really to help people who really have no affiliation with church experience a more relevant, modern interpretation without compromising the Scripture.” Lifesong recently celebrated an anniversary – Payne founded the church on Sept. 10, 2006 – and is looking forward to another important date. On Oct. 18 the Worcester location – there is also a location in Sutton – will move from the Blackstone theater to Worcester Technical High School. “People used to say, ‘They’re meeting in a movie theater, they must not be a real church,’” Payne said. “Having to establish a reputation as a genuine Christian church despite where we were meeting was a challenge.” Even in older non-denominational churches, the spirit of welcoming and flexibility is king. “In a traditionally non-denominational church, dogma or precepts of a particular kind of faith wouldn’t fly,” Dietz said. “The people would go crazy.

I’ve been in ministry for 30 years. I think that one of the things that has helped us grow is that when you’ve been in ministry a long time, you’ve kind of been through every scenario. The relational difficulties, moving churches through transitional periods. That experience has helped us, where younger church planters might get caught. – Pastor Tom Sparling of The Journey Community Church

trying to hash out some of their theological issues on their own.” “I believe the church’s main goal is to be welcoming to others,” she continued. “We have people who are strong born-again evangelicals, and people who are very moderate Christians, and we have Jewish folks and others who worship together, and we all get along.” Warren Hicks prefers the term “multidenominational” for Worcester Fellowship, an outdoor church started in 2007 that serves 120-160 lunches to homeless Worcester residents before services on the Common every Sunday, followed by services.

People’s Church, is openness. “We felt that at the core of the vision for Cana was being a place where doubt is as important to faith as certainty; questions as necessary, or at least not less important, than answers; where different opinions are allowed; different theologies can even exist; folks from different walks of life can be together in genuine community and explore the amazingness of grace and the haunting beauty of unconditional divine love that we find in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, with freedom and authenticity and a sense of being welcome just as they are,” Gentleman said. “I think the biggest challenge is helping STEVEN KING

Pastor Muriel Sanborn was sent out from Triumphant Life Church, a Pentecostal church in the city, to start Victory in Christ Church on Pleasant Street in 2001. She says it was a challenge at first, but the thriving church now serves a diverse population downtown. “It’s remarkably chaotic,” Hicks said. “It’s often wonderful and often heartbreaking … We’d love to have it not be necessary, but Jesus even said you’ll always have the poor with you.” Sanborn said there are around 50 members of Victory in Christ Church. The outreach, though, goes far beyond that, as she leverages English learning programs and food pantry services to serve the population in the Pleasant Street area. “It’s a very transient neighborhood, with an awful lot of immigrants and refugees, so you’re reaching into areas where you don’t necessarily speak the language,” Sanborn said. “That makes it difficult.” David Gentleman leads Cana Community Church, which he said has a fluctuating attendance between 20-80.

people find the courage and authority to be owners of the church,” he continued. “A community church belongs to the people and at times that is a model so foreign to folks, in most walks of life not just within religion, that folks can be uncertain of how much ownership they actually do have.” Outreach, with or without a backing denomination, is key for churches to boost membership and spread their message in an increasingly secular world. “My philosophy is that the church has changed so much and the world has become more ecumenical, so people are looking for unity rather than discrimination,” Dietz said. “[Young] folks couldn’t care less about denominations.” continued on page 20

STAYING POWER The reality is everyone who

starts a church is entering a market with a number of options, even though no one uses the term “competition.” That is partly because running a church is not like running a restaurant – pastors see their job as a calling, not a career. It is also partly because the market is hardly oversaturated.

“I think we need lots of churches in the city,” Sparling said. “I’m not competitive. If you filled every pew in the city, we’d be scratching the surface.” Even among small start-up churches dealing with all the issues that come with a new institution coupled with inexperience and an underdog mentality, there is a broad sense that the real challenge was still in convincing individual people to follow God or providing neighborhood services, not dealing with earthly concerns other businesses might balk over. “The deepest struggle would be loving

coworkers and neighbors and just seeing the unbelief,” said Sullivan, who estimated he has a little more than a dozen adults at his brandnew church. “Instead of their jobs or their failures defining them, knowing that they’re loved. I can’t force anyone to believe this.” Every religious leader measures success not by numbers or dollars, but by hearts and minds changed for the better. That message resonated from larger churches to smaller institutions in Worcester. “I don’t feel like I need to build a giant church,” Sanborn said. “I do feel like I need to build people.” The key for the new crop of churches is staying power. A quick rise shows a talent for drawing in a new generation turned off by their parents’ churches, and pastors are hoping they have the savvy and strategy to stick around long enough to make a difference spreading the word of God. “A lot of start-up churches make a big splash and then they’re gone,” Sanborn said. “And we made a commitment to the neighbors that we’re here for them. We’re not going anywhere.” Reporter Tom Quinn can be reached at 508-749-3166 x324 or tquinn@ worcestermagazine.com with story ideas, feedback, or questions. Follow him on Twitter @bytomquinn.

{ sports } Worcester Soccer House a home for budding soccer enthusiasts

Joshua Lyford

Soccer (football elsewhere in the world) has been largely neglected through American history, though internationally it is recognized as the most popular sport in the world. Soccer has seen steady momentum of growth the last few years and shows no signs of slowing down.

Two Worcester residents have taken to harnessing that momentum to enact social good, starting the Worcester Soccer House with its initial kickoff last month. The Worcester Soccer House is a grassroots organization setting itself up to be a community soccer hub here in the city. “We wanted to think of a way that we could integrate the city and be a part of the city in a way that we can engrain ourselves into the cultural fabric,” said co-founder Mohamed Elmaola. “Not simply a place

to play soccer, but to be a catalyst for the potential in a lot of kids.” In order to do this the founders — Elmaola, Dimitri Savidis, Daniel Bushe and Kevin Louis — gathered volunteers and worked out a partnership with the Worcester YMCA. “They have been incredibly helpful,”: said Elmaola. “They gave us their field to use and they distribute a lot of flyers as well.” The field utilized by Worcester Soccer House is the Fuller Family Park at 104 Murray Ave. While the organization hopes people will pre-register for the offered free clinics, popins are welcome to participate as well. “We essentially want to become a center of soccer for the city,” said Savidis. “While at the same time being a major and permanent force for social good.” The Worcester Soccer House’s motto is “shaping the city through soccer,” and that is exactly what organizers have set out to do. “We looked at our own lives. Growing up we played with each other or against each other on soccer teams,” said Elmaola of his and Savidis’s childhoods. “Soccer was a big part of our friendship and a big part of

our lives. We looked at the city as a whole. Worcester is incredible diverse. It is teaming with life and different cultures. You have the Albanian population, Greek population, Arabs, Ghanaian, Vietnamese, Hispanic, and a common thread for all of the different cultures in Worcester is soccer. The unfortunate fact is that a lot of kids are not able to access affordable ways to play.” The Saturday clinics are free to join and broken down into brackets based on age, with clinics starting at noon for ages 6-8, 9-10 and 11-12. The Worcester Soccer House team strives to instill the values in participants that they got to learn while growing up playing soccer. “One big part of this is mental fortitude and discipline,” said Elmaola. “These are tough Worcester kids. Some might not have a father figure or come from a tough family. With soccer, kids can develop that strength and character in a way that is productive.” On Sundays, the focus shifts to soccer tournaments operated by Worcester Soccer House, with two divisions – one for 13-17-year-olds, another for ages 18 and

up. The games are six-on-six and the cost to participate is $30 per team. “A lot of the things we’re seeing in our society — poverty, achievement gap — these are starting to resonate so clearly, and there needs to be some form of creative outlet,” said Elmaola. “Especially for the lower income and minority groups in Worcester, we want this to be their creative outlet. Not only can they grow as a soccer player, they can grow as a person. They can engrain that as a part of their identity. That is what we believe is necessary to ignite that passion and make it spread.” “We’re not only a soccer movement, we’re a social movement,” added Savidis. “These two aspects are incredibly important.” For more information on Worcester Soccer House, you can find them online on Facebook and Twitter. Otherwise, head to 104 Murray Ave., across the street from the Main Street YMCA, to sign up and join the fun.

Danzig brings the rock to Rock and Shock

Joshua Lyford

Glenn Danzig has been a controversial figure from the moment he stepped out of the shadows and into the limelight. Fronting the seminal horror punk outfit, the Misfits, and exiting the band in 1983, Danzig went on to

form Samhain, and later the iconic Danzig. With many years of legal battles and alleged violence toward fans, journalists and seemingly anyone who doesn’t meet his high standards, Danzig started three of the most important punk/metal bands in the last few decades, and founded a comic book company and a record company. While his show policies and outspoken attitude are what generally garners top-billing, when speaking with Worcester Magazine, Danzig was polite, soft-spoken and even funny. You can catch Danzig, the man and the band, now in its 28th year, at the Worcester Palladium, 261 Main St., Saturday, Oct. 17 as part of the Rock and Shock horror convention.

Between the comic book company and his musical projects, Danzig doesn’t necessarily have “down time.” As the band gears up to begin its “Blackest of the Black” tour, which starts Oct. 2, the man is at home in Los Angeles, taking care of business. “I’m not relaxing, I’m working all the time,” said Danzig. “When it comes time to get on the bus, that’s what I do. Leading up to leaving, I have to get a whole bunch of stuff done. For the next month I won’t be able to do a lot of that. I’ll be on tour and it gets a little hectic.” Danzig founded his comic book company, Verotik, in 1994 as an outlet for the darker themes he wished had increased representation. “I’ve been a comic fan since I was a kid,” he explained. “Of course, I started reading not just American comics, but Italian horror comics and crazy Japanese comics. In the night, for most of the Danzig shows, I sign autographs for fans, talk to them, a lot of them are comic fans and a lot of them had the same complaint. There is no big company that is putting out cool, violent, horror comics for adults. I ended up starting my own back in 1993-94 and we’re still going.” In addition to the comic book company, Danzig has finished an album of covers called “Skeletons” that will be released in November. The record features Danzig’s take on songs including Black Sabbath’s “N.I.B.,” ZZ Top’s “Rough Boy,” The Troggs’ “A Girl Like You,” and he will be releasing a standalone EP of Elvis Presley songs. “With Elvis or Sabbath, it’s easy,” said Danzig of transforming these songs into his own style. “There are so many great songs, it’s more what

fits into what I’m trying to do. With the other songs, it’s what kind of direction I can take this in. The Troggs were a little hard because I like so many of their songs. This record was a little different. Sometimes I’m playing drums, then there is other songs where it’s me Tommy (Victor, guitar) and Johnny (Kelly, drums). I arrange it way before I show it to everyone else.” Having been writing and performing since the mid-70s, Danzig has played a formative role in three legendary bands: the Misfits, Samhain and Danzig. Through it all, the true joy in performing comes from getting on stage and performing for his fans. “The energy at a Danzig show is a little different than a lot of other shows,” said Danzig. “It’s a symbiotic energy, the crazier the fans go, the crazier we go. Feeding off that energy back and forth, you can feel it transferring from the stage to the audience and back. I don’t even know if it’s a rock show so much as some kind of pagan experience. There is an unreal energy transfer there.” While Danzig has been performing for years, he can still recall the first time he played at the Worcester Palladium, where he will return on Oct. 17. “I remember the first time we ever played the Worcester Palladium with Danzig, White Zombie and Kyuss,” he recalled. “We got snowed in. I’m used to it, I spent part of my life on Revere beach. I’m used to that Boston snow. I told everyone, ‘We gotta get out of here. We have to get on the highway, they’ll be fine.’ Sure enough, everyone that hung out got stuck at the hotel and couldn’t leave.” While Danzig is notoriously specific with what questions will immediately shut down an interview, and queries pertaining to his time with the Misfits are frowned upon, Misfits guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein will also be performing at Rock and Shock. Can fans expect Danzig/Doyle Misfits songs that evening? “I don’t know,” said Danzig. “I think he’s playing early, he might even leave before we get on. I haven’t talked to him and I don’t know.” What does the legendary horror punk front man think is the darkest aspect of humanity? “Nothing is more dark than governments killing tens of thousands of people. That’s dark,” said Danzig. “Politics is such a big load of shit. Nothing somebody like me is going to say is going to change anything ,that’s all predetermined by the world powers and the people that run the world. I’ll leave it at that.” Tickets for Rock and Shock are available online at Ticketfly. com. Danzig will be performing Saturday, Oct. 17 at the Worcester Palladium with Superjoint, Veil of Maya, Prong and more. The event is all ages and tickets are $40-45, which includes access to the show as well as to the horror convention at the DCU Center. You can find out more on the convention online at Rockandshock.com and for more information on Danzig as well as his comic book company, Verotik, head to Danzig-verotik.com.

All smiles at The Harvey Ball Joshua Lyford

The Canal District was all smiles for The Harvey Ball and the awarding of the 15th annual Harvey Ball Smile Award to the Canal District Alliance recently. The event took place in the White Room of the Crompton Collective, 138 Green St., although it was dubbed “The Golden Oyster Club” for the evening. The event was a suit and tie affair, but as you might expect smiley-faced accoutrement was in full effect. The Harvey Ball itself celebrates Worcester commercial artist Harvey Ball, who was tasked by the Worcester Mutual Fire Insurance Company to create a smile that could be used in a “friendship” marketing campaign. Ball received just $240 for the creation of the imagery, which has become iconic internationally. “I think the part about the Smiley that is so interesting to me is the way it has now reached around the world in every imaginable way,” said Luis Fraire, a volunteer on the Harvey Ball Committee. “Now that I’m aware of what the smiley is and where it came from I can’t help but notice it just about everywhere I go. Something about the color, shape and dimensions really connected with people the world over.” The Worcester Historical Museum presented its 2015 Smile Award to the Canal District Alliance, now celebrating its 10th anniversary. The organization was honored for its “vision and legacy for a revitalized Blackstone Canal in 21st century Worcester.” The organization joins previous winners, including former Worcester Magazine owner Allen Fletcher, comedian Denis Leary, Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Tim Murray, the Crowley Family of Polar Beverages and Wachusett Mountain and Charles Ball. “The Canal District has to be one of the most vibrant areas of the city, especially with the big crowds that gather around the music venues and clubs,” Fraire said. “My wife and I go down there all the time to shop and meet with friends and listen to music. It has its own unique character that seemed to just spring up organically, and I really like that.” With plenty of food and drink, raffles, auctions, dancing and music from bands Blackstone Cúil, Center City 4 and Little Red & The Riders, the night had a lot to enjoy and the crowd did just that. “There is no doubt it was a very exciting night,” said Fraire. “There was certainly a big crowd enjoying the food and entertainment and the smiley face projections all over the back of the Crompton Building was definitely very cool, plus all the classic cars that congregated added to the festivities. All in all it was a big success.” Stay tuned for next year’s The Harvey Ball. For more information on the Worcester Historical Museum, visit Worcesterhistory.org.

Bauhinia Restaurant beckons to motorists on Route 9 in Shrewsbury with its high-pitched roof and striking appearance. Located at 271 Grafton St., just a stone’s throw from the routes 9 and 40 interchange, the restaurant offers a large menu of Asian-American entrées served by a friendly staff, but with so many Asian restaurants in the area Bauhinia has to do more to truly stand out in a crowded field.

Having driven by Bauhinia dozens of times, but never stopping in, Lillian and I were looking forward to finally trying it. We brought our appetites on a Thursday night, and were

pockets in a puff-pastry crust packed with a cream cheese filling that aspired to taste like crab, but never quite got there. For the price, however, the 12 or so rangoons were a good value. A good while longer our Peking raviolis (sausage-filled dumplings served with soy sauce) arrived, and while STEVEN KING the sausage filling was hot and the dumplings easily gave way to our forks, the timing of the order fouled up the cadence of our meals. Lillian and I were hoping to put in our entrée orders before our appetizers arrived, but unfortunately our server disappeared for more than 10 minutes. We finally ordered, but were again displeased by the cadence with which our items arrived. I ordered the Sizzling Mongolian Beef ($13.50), a large platter of slow-cooked and tender beef served in a sweet sauce and cooked over soft onions, but this arrived at least 5 minute ahead of all of the other items we ordered. Lillian’s crunchy pad thai ($11) came out next, which was a fried

pad thai noodle that, sadly, lost some of the typically subtle peanut flavor of pad Thai, although the medley of vegetables that were cooked with it were crisp and flavorful. We had also ordered pork lo mein, which unfortunately didn’t come out until we had eaten most of our other dishes. To Bauhinia’s credit, the prices are most reasonable for the portions of food. Our server remarked that we had ordered a lot of food when we placed our orders, although we intended to share and bring home enough for lunch the following day, and we were pleased to have three take-out containers with more than enough for the rest of the week. Also, while our server was absent at times and the timing of our food was poor, when our server was present she was very warm and kind, making us feel more than welcome in the restaurant. Our bill came to $51, reasonable for the amount of food we got, but considering the sheer number of Asian restaurants between Worcester and Route 140 in Shrewsbury, we are unlikely to make a return visit. Nevertheless, for Worcester-area diners residing near the restaurant, Bauhinia could be a good option for takeout, where diners need not worry about issues with service or timing.

But on Oct. 6-7, from 3-8 p.m., if you order a pizza from Domino’s, don’t be alarmed (pun intended) if your order arrives on a F-250 Worcester fire truck. OK, so it’s not a ladder truck, but it’s still pretty cool. And if your smoke alarms are working, the pizza is free. If not, you pay, but firefighters will replace your batteries. “Fire safety is extremely important,” said Worcester Domino’s franchise owner Henry Askew. “We’re very excited to partner with NFPA

and the fire department for a program that not only promotes the safety of our friends and neighbors, but rewards those who make fire safety a priority.” The promotion is being done as part of Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 4-10, in conjunction with the Worcester Domino’s at 413A Park Ave. and the National Fire Protection Association. This year’s FPW theme is “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep: Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm.” Worcester Fire Lt. Annie Pickett hopes residents will take notice. “Half of all home fire deaths result from fires reported between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when most people are asleep,” she said. “That’s why

Gateway Players Theatre presents Who Am I This Time? (& other conundrums of love) by Aaron Posner, adapted from stories by Kurt Vonnegut. Performance dates are October 2, 3, 9 &10 at 7:30pm and October 11 at 2pm. This comedy will be directed by David Corkum, produced by Bill Guy, and the stage manager is Kathi Grenier. Tickets are $13 for adults and $11 for seniors and children under 18 years of age, and may be purchased online at http://www.brownpapertickets. com/event/2220638 Presented by permission through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc. The cast includes: Jim Douglas, Joe Andrews, Jason Czernich, Marie Daley, Gwen O’Brien, Josh Pelletier, Lisa Provost, Joe Sawyer, and Ashleigh Soper. The story: The play is based on three short stories from Kurt Vonnegut’s book, “Welcome to the Monkey House”. They are three of his early comic masterpieces: “Long Walk to Forever”, “Who Am I This Time?” and “Go Back to Your Precious Wife and Son”. Playwright Aaron Posner has taken these stories and weaved them into a charming and amusing look at love. The subject of this play, as we are told at the outset, is love, pure and complicated. Set on the stage of The North Crawford Mask & Wig Club (“the finest community theatre in central Connecticut!”), the three stories are sewn together into a seamless evening of hilarity and humanity. With a single set, and Vonnegut’s singular wit and insight into human foibles, this is a smart, delightful comedy for the whole family.

Fun By The Numbers Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test! Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

CLASS IT UP! Living the Classiﬁeds’ Lifestyle! This time of year makes me feel rejuvenated. The cool mornings and warm afternoons feel refreshing after the hot, humid summer season. The beautiful autumn colors that are emerging give a sense of renewal. I feel a bit recharged when the fall weather starts. We all need a bit recharging now and then. Whether we are super busy or going along at a slower pace, it’s important to take time and refuel our mind and spirit. Often, as we are living day to day, we forget to take a few moments to just chill. The business of the day seems to get in the way. We think that we don’t have time to take time to be silent or sit and listen to some music to feed our souls. Recharging and refueling our mind and spirit will help us face the days’ issues. It can take just a few moments to make a difference, so it’s not too out of the question. Hide away for just a few minutes and just breathe, even if it’s in your car or a bedroom, just shut the door and focus on the silence or the beauty of nature. It will feed and refuel you. If you would like more than a few minutes to have some time to renew, take a look at what service could help you do that. Would having someone clean your house help? How about taking care of all of the small house repairs or the big ones? Having one of our lawn care service providers would alleviate lots of time to help you renew. Please take a look at this section and see what would help give you more time to give time to yourself to recharge. And please let them know that you saw them here! Take time to make time. Always grateful…

Keep It Classy!

The Man That Gravity Forgot, WWE Superstar Neville, made his WWE debut in March on Monday Night Raw, the night after Wrestlemania. He came out swinging for the rafters and blew minds with his high-flying and acrobatic style, nailing his signature Red Arrow finisher on an unfortunate Curtis Axel. The Newcastle upon Tyne native came up through independent wrestling organizations before signing with the WWE developmental league, NXT, and becoming a weekly television mainstay with WWE. His current feud with Stardust has the pair pitted against one another as larger-than-life superhero versus nefarious over-the-top super-villain. Neville will be among the WWE superstars entertaining folks at the DCU Sunday, Oct. 4. How did you become involved in professional wrestling? I’ve been watching it my whole

That’s another reason why I wear the mouthpiece, to protect my false teeth. I had an altercation with Brodus Clay where I lost my front teeth. If you have the WWE network you can watch that episode. I lost a few teeth in that match with Brodus in NXT. It wasn’t the best night of my career.
