inside stories

hen I began work on the story about Becker’s exhibit of the various works of local artist/legend Jacob Knight, all my memory could conjure was images of the quaint paintings he did of a bunch of small Massachusetts towns west of here.

The story, as it always does, took me by surprise upon talking to Don Cadoret and Stephen DiRado, contemporaries of Knight, who were profoundly inuenced by him. And once I toured Becker’s collected works to be exhibited with archivist Nancy Richards, the man came alive. I experienced the thrill of being a tiny link in a big chain, ďŹ lling in information wherever I could to a largely incomplete picture of a bigger-than-life person, who had just recently roamed our back yards. From the artifacts, leapt places, like The Blue Plate in Holden (and Tiny Stacey), Worcester’s Coffee Kingdom, and names, like Union Music’s Carl Kamp. It amazed me how this guy really got the start of so many who knew him, and history, as they say, came alive. Jacob Knight’s book has yet to be written, and his admirers seem intent upon keeping his name alive. Hmmm, I could use a book project right now.

Break-ins on the rise in Worcester

Walter Bird Jr.

A

s staffing levels at the police department dropped in recent years, break-ins around the city have been on the rise and they are headed back up again in 2013 with 744 combined breaks into residences and businesses between Jan. 1 and April 30. There were 678 over that same span last year. It puts the city on pace for more than 2,200 — there were 2,040 in 2012, according to Police Chief Gary Gemme — and that is not including motor vehicle break-ins and larcenies.

There were 536 motor vehicle breaks over the first four months of the year – a 17-percent increase over the same timeframe last year. In total, the city recorded 1,280 breaks into homes, businesses and vehicles in the first quarter of 2013. There were 1,136 in the first quarter of 2012.

“The first four months of this year, compared to the first four months of last year, when you look at breaks into motor vehicles, residential and commercial properties, they’re all trending upward,” Police Chief Gary Gemme acknowledges.

The single biggest increase in break-ins has been at commercial properties, where there have been 113 reported breaks since the beginning of the year. That represents a 61.4-percent increase over the same time-frame last year, when there were 70. There were 631 residential break-ins between Jan. 1 and April 30, compared to 608 during that period in 2012. Before last year, there were 2,066 commercial and residential break-ins in 2011, 1,910 in 2010 and 1,485 in 2009. That was the first of three straight increases, and came after more than 1,700 break-ins in 2008.

“That’s when we took a hit,” says Gemme.

Prior to then there had been four years

of relatively stable break-in rates. In 2007, there were 1,308 commercial and residential breaks; in 2006 there were 1,232; in 2005 there were 1,248; and in 2004 – Gemme’s first year as chief – there were 1,284. That number was 268 less than in 2003, when the city endured 1,552 break-ins.

of break-ins. “We are below the threshold of the staffing level,” Palmieri says.

“Certainly, having more officers on patrol on the streets would make a difference.”

The time of year may also play a role, he adds. “The weather is mild and people let their guard down,” he says. “As the weather gets better, there are more breaks. It makes people more vulnerable, particularly when you don’t have a full complement of police officers.”

has the potential to create a mini-crime wave. The same individual over and over again commits breaks and the sentencing they receive is fairly light in comparison to the kind of impact they have on the property owner. When a property owner gets broken into, when you take the break report, it’s very frightening that someone actually broke into their homes.”

Part of the problem, according to Gemme, is the difficulty police have in n a word, says Gemme, the issue comes tying a string of breaks together. “Unless down to staffing. In 2004, the you catch them in the act or have department graduated 30 new really good physical evidence, like DNA As the weather gets better, officers, putting it at maximum or latent fingerprints, it’s really hard to staffing until around 2007.

There was a class says. “You may suspect a number of It makes people more vulnerable, of 22 recruits, but in 2009, that breaks, but you can only charge them gain was wiped out by 32 layoffs. with one or two.

Body-gate Walter Bird Jr., photos by Steven King

t took a while, but around midday Friday, May 3 – roughly 12 hours or so after the body of dead suspected terrorist Tamerlan Tsarnaev had arrived at Graham Putnam & Mahoney Funeral Home smack in the middle of Worcester’s Main South neighborhood – the media hordes descended upon the city en masse. They were soon followed by protesters. With all the activity, police had to set up shop to keep an eye on traffic, pedestrian safety and any potential mayhem. No one knew at the time how long the body would be there. Heading into Tuesday, May 7 it was still there – in refrigeration, inside the mansion in which funeral director Peter Stefan plies his trade. During that time, an uncle of the suspected bomber arrived with friends to prepare the body for burial, critics and supporters aired their views and elected officials largely stayed silent on the issue. Oh, yeah, and funeral director Peter Stefan racked up a police detail tab that was expected to top $30,000. Worcester Mag takes a look at the timeline in photos and words of one of the biggest media spectacles the city has seen in a long time.

Day 1 – Friday, May 3: It didn’t take long for word to spread that the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev was being kept inside

Day 1 – Friday, May 3: Stefan took time on Friday to speak with the media inside the mansion that serves as his funeral home. It was the first of many

appearances he would make in front of the cameras, but as the days dragged on, he became less visible. He has maintained all along that his choice to accept Tsarnaev’s body was the right thing to do, because “America buries its dead.�

released during springtime. “People are just willing to break in more now. People go to the store and leave their house unattended. There are a lot of reasons crime spikes in the warmer weather. There is no day or month where we release inmates in any greater numbers than at any other time. It is all based on the arrest and time served. It is based exclusively on the numbers.”

Day 4 – Monday, May 6: Worcester Police Sgt. Kerry Hazelhurst starts playing a more prominent role on the scene outside the funeral home. He would ultimately become the point person for the media as Stefan, who initially greeted just about every reporter and cameraman as if they were a family member, spent more time inside.

P

olice do what they can to keep pace with the break-ins, Gemme says.

They are addressed during every command staff meeting, which are held on Tuesdays. Analysts attempt to pin down trends and hotspots by producing tactical analysis maps. In addition, detectives focus on those break-ins with at least a good chance of being solved, rather than on those where there is little evidence.

Others also have a responsibility, says Gemme. For example, with such a large number of commercial break-ins, it is up to the business owner to ensure his building and property are secure. Suspects might target a place that is known to be easily accessible. In one instance, a business on Fremont Street was broken into three times in January. The same applies to residences as well. One house on Cottage Street was broken into 15 times between March and April, according to police.

“When you look at particularly businesses,” Gemme says, “the police can only do so much. But when you at the commercial business, one of the responsibilities they have is to make sure their business is protected and secure as best they possibly can.”

Sometimes, he says, it’s little things such as lighting, making sure the front and back of a property is well-lit and that the lighting fixtures are placed up high so they cannot be vandalized. Shrubbery, too, can actually serve as an aid to criminals, Gemme says, because suspects can hide behind them if they are not kept trim and gain access into a building without being seen.

“Break-ins have been a long-term trend that we recognize is increasing and it’s creating problems within the community,” the Chief says. “It’s a quality of life issue. It’s not trending in a direction that obviously you’d like to see it, but I think with the increase in staffing … it gives us a lot more flexibility to address some of the issues that have surfaced over the last few years because of staffing shortages.”

TRASH TALK: Police are chatting up residents in the Lincoln and Grafton street areas after 11 dumpster fires were allegedly lit between the two places over the weekend. There were no busts made when Busted! went to press, but by getting the word out, maybe we’ll have something new to report next week. According to police, officers on patrol near 560 Lincoln St. around 3:30 a.m. Saturday happened upon five dumpsters on fire. Firefighters were called and doused the flames, preventing the flames from spreading beyond the dumpsters. Then, around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, police responded to a call reporting approximately six dumpster fires near

995 Grafton St. Once more, firefighters were able to put out the fires before any damage could be done to nearby buildings. Investigators say the fires were the result of combustibles ignited by a heat source.

In addition to talking to neighboring residents, police were working to locate surveillance video in the area of the fires. Anyone with information on either incident can send an anonymous text to 274637 TIPWPD or an anonymous web-based message at worcesterma. gov/police. Calls can also be made to the Worcester Police Detective Bureau at (508) 799-865, the State Arson Hotline at 1-800-682-9229 or the Worcester Fire Department’s investigation unit at 508-799-1930.

{ worcesteria } THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS: Folks who were all burned up over the fact that funeral home director Peter Stefan agreed to care for the body of dead suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev probably weren’t thrilled to learn that the price tag for all the police detail that was on-hand since Friday, May 3 could cost more than $30,000. And there was a strong likelihood it would be left up to the city to pay it, despite vague suggestions from Stefan that he would “probably pay part of it because it is the right thing.”

One city official, speaking only on the condition of anonymity, says he does not believe the funeral parlor, Tsarnaev’s family or the state or federal government would absorb any of the cost, which was expected to reach $30,000 by the end of the day Monday. There were six officers per shift working around the clock at Graham Putnam & Mahoney Funeral Home since Friday afternoon – officers also provided security inside the building. The police department has already gone on the record as saying the funeral home should bear the cost. City Manager Mike O’Brien tells Worcester Mag, “My first charge is to protect and preserve the safety of the community and that’s a charge we hold dearly.”

If the city is forced to shoulder some or all of the cost associated with the funeral home detail, O’Brien says it would come from areas where expenses were held back, such as guardrail repair and lawn patch replacement, at the end of the fiscal year. That is also where extra money to pay for additional snow removal costs would be derived.

Walter Bird Jr.

GOING WITH THE FLOW: It is worth noting that with the comings and goings of protesters, who at times numbered in the dozens, along with a crush of media and a steady stream of traffic trudging through the Main South area by Graham Putnam & Mahoney Funeral Home, police reported little to no problems. There were no arrests and no pedestrian injuries, which is pretty impressive given the number of times reporters, cameramen and others zigged and zagged through traffic over the weekend and into this week. There were, according to police, several public safety issues that required their attention. Ever since Friday, once the lid came off Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s posthumous arrival in the city, cops were directing a heavy flow of traffic in and around the funeral home. Pedestrian safety was a concern as was the behavior of protesters.

By all accounts, things went as smooth as could be expected. “Officers have attempted to keep traffic moving at a reasonable pace in an effort to avoid traffic congestion on Main Street,” police said in a press release earlier this week. “At times, there have been peaceful protests and large gatherings of onlookers requiring police presence.

Pedestrian safety has also been a concern in this area due to the increase in traffic and crowds. Officers have taken several safety measures to ensure that pedestrians are safe while crossing the street and walking in the area.”

DOES ‘ALMOST’ COUNT? It never

came to pass, but before Suspect No. 2 (that would be the terror suspect who lived, Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s brother, Dzhokhar) landed in a prison hospital in Fort Devens, there was talk of shipping him to a county jail. So not only could Worcester be dealing with a dead terrorist suspect smack in the middle of Main South, it could also have been just on the outskirts of where the live suspect might have been, in West Boylston. Worcester County Jail Sheriff Lew Evangelidis says there was talk about Dzhokhar going to a regional facility and that he had discussions about it at the jail, but no official phone call ever came. He says he would have taken Dzhokhar had he been asked. “I would have accommodated him if the request had been made,” the very, very tall sheriff says. As for whether he would have been placed in general population or isolation, that call would probably have been made by the superintendent.

CHURCH AND STATE: Worcester Diocese Bishop Robert McManus isn’t worried about the separation of Church and State as he mounts a defense to the OUI charge lodged against him in Rhode Island, where authorities say he was driving drunk on Boston Break Road in Narragansett, Rhode Island. He is being defended by former Rhode Island Speaker of the House William Murphy. Police say the 61-year-old McManus wasn’t drinking holy water before he allegedly hit a vehicle on the way back to his vacation home.

He certainly wasn’t the good Catholic, if what investigators say is true – McManus allegedly did not stop after hitting the other vehicle. McManus was in court Tuesday to face two charges. He is scheduled to return later this month on a civil charge of refusing to submit to a chemical test.

NEW MASTER’S PROGRAMS AT WPI

WPI announces master’s programs for educators in Physic and Mathematics. One year ago, the institute opened its STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) Education Center to improve teacher preparedness in math and science disciplines. Now, WPI will accept its second class of educators into the new master’s programs.

Formally known as the Master of Science in Physics for Educators and Master of Science in Mathematics for Educators degrees, both have been designed to help teachers educate and engage their students in key areas.

“Currently the United States economy is driven by STEM,” says Martha Cyr, executive director of the STEM Education Center at WPI, but continues, “there aren’t enough qualified people trained for these positions … our degree programs will help teachers take their students to the next level of preparedness for these careers of the future.” The U.S. Department of Education’s 2011 Teacher Shortage Areas Nationwide List cites shortages in math and science throughout the country, resulting in many secondary teachers being asked to teach subjects they are not familiar with. According to information provided by WPI, “the overarching goal of the new master’s programs is to support educators in these subjects as they strengthen their content knowledge and ways to teach the content, which will lead to students who are better prepared in these fields.”

FELLOWSHIPS FOR CREATIVE WORK

Nine Clark University students has received Steinbrecher Fellowships to support original, creative research and community service projects. They are listed below.

Samuel Berman: Will participate in the Polaris Project 2013 and conduct research on organic carbon storage and transport in a watershed in East Siberia.

Patrick Burchat: Will explore Cuba’s use of propaganda to attempt to divert the attention of its citizens from the country’s economic problems and open-market style reforms.

Moriah Day: Will examine the effects on forest structure and composition of spruce beetle outbreaks in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado to see if the beetle outbreaks correlate with climate change.

Lyor Dotan: Will spend two weeks in Honduras photographing and speaking with people who live in Tegucigalpa in order to create a book that will tell of the physical, social and economic conditions in the city.

Blaine McCarthy: Will spend the summer in a lab conducting research on a target molecule that has the ability to kill MRSA bacteria.

Claire McDonald: Will embark on a research project using the Steinbeck Archives in Salinas, Calif. and the Steinbeck Collection at Stanford University to study how the author developed “Group-Man” Social Theory, and see how it evolved in his novels.

Emma O’Melia: Will travel to Alaska and Newfoundland to research the behavior of the threespine stickleback fish. She will communicate her research findings via photographs and a blog that people with little or no scientific training will be able to understand.

Jennifer O’Rourke: Will examine editorials published in southern and northern county newspapers that focus on the trial of the two white men accused of viciously killing young, black Emmett Till in order to compare racial attitudes in those regions.

Hoamy Tran: Will conduct a community service project with an NGO in Vietnam that provides dental care to disadvantaged children.

He will speak with Worcester-area dentists about the dental problems that Vietnamese immigrants living in the region experience.

Letter Tsarnaev’s body in Worcester: Necessary job in extraordinary circumstances

Harvey

Putting the WOO in Worcester W Janice Harvey

orcester has certainly seen more than its usual share of the spotlight recently – and some of it was the kind of attention we just don’t want. We became Destination City for reporters when it snowed more in the heart of the commonwealth than any place south of the North Pole, causing New England news stations to plant their trucks on Main St. at the first sign of a falling flake.

This also meant that Dept. of Public Works head honcho Bob Moylan aka “The Count” was obliged to buy a whole new set of winter sweaters and jackets for the endless interviews he gave to the media. I couldn’t turn on the TV without seeing Moylan and a microphone, but no matter how much it snowed, Bob said everything was under control and we shouldn’t worry. So I didn’t. And eventually, it all went away – except for the havoc wreaked with the school year, which was extended by eight days – yet another stat that got us ranked Number One. An international incident of dubious distinction occurred when alleged Worcester celebrity Christina Andrianopoulos was allegedly kidnapped by alleged Liberian terrorists. After being roughed around, bound and gagged, the ever-resilient Miss A. was able to bond with one of her alleged captors and convince him to let her go free. Photos of the alleged victim showed

Many in Worcester forgot that funerals aren’t for the dead but for the living, this one more than most others.

After the bombings at the Boston Marathon, you couldn’t look at Facebook without someone on your newsfeed posting this quote attributed to Mister Rogers: “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’” In other words, look at the good in the world in order to appropriately deal with and contextualize its horrors.

Many searched for and found this good in the first responders and spectators-turned-volunteer-medics who rushed into the aftermath of the explosions. In extraordinary circumstances they performed professionally, heroic and necessary actions.

That same praise and reverence hasn’t extended to everyone deserving of it. What better way to respond to indiscriminate violence and pain than with humanity and tolerance? What better way to show resolve and strength (since a version of that word is now plastered on so many “Boston Strong” t-shirts, posters and fundraising campaigns) than by preparing Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s body for burial with the workman-like, puritanical attitude that Massachusetts was founded on? There’s no better way to respond to evil than by showing it that despite all its efforts to cause pain and suffering we go on with our daily lives.

Instead, protestors descended on a funeral home. Funeral Director Peter Stefan, who’s taken care of the city and its former residents with little fanfare or disturbance for 35 years, has been thrust into the media’s spotlight for nearly a week now – and that can be an uncomfortable place to be, especially for someone just doing a necessary job in extraordinary circumstances. They’ve confused Stefan’s work with an endorsement of Tsarnaev’s actions when it should be seen as the opposite: a rejection of the Tsarnaevs’ beliefs that America is cold, unforgiving and unconcerned with other cultures’ rituals.

It was a dare to be great scenario; a test of Massachusetts’ character. Stefan and those who reacted to Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s body arriving in the city with calm and rationality came out of this mess looking professional, compassionate, unfaltering and reflective of the values Americans should project to the rest of the world. As for the protestors, they showed the America that the Tsarnaev’s wanted the world to see, one that’s confused, shrieking and snarling.

her face banged up in a manner similar to the bruising I suffered after I had my eyelids tacked up by a plastic surgeon. This probably should have made the nightly news, but curiously, no one seemed to care. However, her newest cable show – “Sixth Sense & Beyond” is such a hoot that I’m glad she made it out alive. She and a local medium conjure “Spirit” to connect the living with the dead. A recent episode showcased the medium’s extraordinary talents when she told a 60-ish woman: “Your mother – she’s dead, no?” which is an amazing and eerie reading, since it’s so rare for a woman in her 60s to have lost a parent.

At the end of the show, Andrianopoulos encouraged her viewers – both of us – to “stay in the moment.” I tried, but I think I fell out of the moment, at least for a minute there.

Worcester hasn’t boasted a character this much fun since Francis X. Leonard announced the cancellation of the non-existent Francis X Leonard Booster Club meetings over the Foley Stadium PA system.

Recently, Millbury Street became a Hollywood set when filmmakers decided it was the perfect location for a period piece. There are some who would say that many other sections of the city are frozen in time - particularly council chambers and its denizens – but I wouldn’t suggest such a thing. Others may have, but not I. I’m aggravated that I wasn’t able to get out of work early enough to pester Christian Bale for an autograph but I suspect the security was tight; I wouldn’t be surprised if Andrianopoulos sneaked in under the caution tape, however. She knows all the right people.

And if all of this attention wasn’t enough, Worcester inherited the carcass of the alleged Marathon bomber when Graham Putnam & Mahoney funeral home took in the remains of the only man less popular in Boston than Bill Buckner. The TV trucks have been swarming the corner of May and Main streets, capturing on camera a motley crew of stragglers protesting - what? The presence of a dead man? To be honest, I admire Peter Stefan’s chutzpah. The guy has always done things his own way, and he wasn’t about to be bullied out of doing what he felt was right. And he’s got a point: everybody born into this world deserves to be buried. If John Wayne Gacy and Ted Bundy have graves on US soil without protest, we might as well shove some dirt over Tamerlan Tsarnaev and call it a day. There must be some space left in the Nevada deserts that hasn’t been used by the mob for disposal. Send him out there.

Or if he has to stay in the Northeast, I’ve thought of a fitting final resting place: Purgatory Chasm. No need for a headstone.

The Days of Knight Matt Robert

THE LIFE OF LOCAL ARTIST, JACOB KNIGHT, ILLUSTRATED THE EXHIBIT

On Friday, May 10, 2013, Becker Junior College will celebrate its 225th commencement (including those of Leicester Junior Academy/College (LJA) with which it is merged), and stage a one-night exhibit of Jacob Knight (born Roger Jaskoviak), the prominent local folk artist and LJA alumnus.

Though not exactly a household name, Jacob has a powerful cadre of acolytes and a number of avid collectors, who continue to bear the torch which illuminates this legendary character’s work. Combine this with the newfound attention from Jacob’s alma mater, in general, and its archivist, in particular, and then add a well-timed landmark in the college’s long history, and you just might have the catalyst to grow this accomplished artist’s status in the art world.

THE TASK

“First of all,” says Becker preservation archivist Nancy Richards, “we just really started putting this thing together in March. I had learned through my work in the archives that Jacob Knight had gone to school here, to Leicester Junior Academy, as Roger Jaskoviak, his birth name. He graduated in ’61.”

Jaskoviak, says Jonathan Cook and Kirk Jaskoviak’s biography assembled for the exhibit, had graduated from Spencer’s David Prouty High School, where he was a four-year class president, a dominant baseball and basketball player and track athlete, while also cartoonist for school publications, a drummer and drama club member. This last pursuit led him to Hollywood after graduation, where he appeared as an extra in several films and acquired an acting contract, which he declined, choosing instead to return to the east coast. It sounds like a lot of details about Knight, but Richards says it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

“One thing we’ve discovered is that there is no book,” says Richards. “There’s no complete listing of all of his works, and my coming at it with some experience

as a librarian is that sense of completeness is very important.

“And going online you don’t find tons of things, and so there are still lots of holes. Exactly where is that original? Does anybody own this? Does it still exist?

What’s the year of that? What’s the exact medium? So, we have a lot of research ahead of us, because my hope is that we can continue working on trying to get a full listing of everything he did, where it is today, that sort of thing.”

Richard’s challenge is exacerbated by the fact of the still spotty catalogue of

this artist, who, by all accounts, made art out of everything, at every chance. He painted commercial and uncommissioned works; he sculpted, he made figures, collages, and still life arrangements from detritus scavenged from the town dump; he played guitar, bass, and drums; and he wrote poetry. And since no one person knows entirely what he made or where all of it might have ended up, the quickly assembled collection is anything but complete.

But it is as good a place as any to start.

STEVEN KING

“Man’s Head,”

by Jacob Knight

“I began thinking,” says Richards, “Wouldn’t it be nice to have an exhibit or do something?” The result is the Jacob Knight Art Exhibit, which Richards hopes will break the ground for a permanent collection at the college. “As part of the college archives, which we really just established last fall,” Richards says, “there’s going to be a Jacob Knight special collection. We’ve already received some donations for that. We’ll have biographical information as well as, references to, or copies of, or original pieces, and photographs and [ephemera] if people want to donate those.”

And start it has. Documents, reproductions, and originals, as well as letters and posters and catalogues, have begun pouring in from friends, acquaintances, and contemporaries of Knight.

And this is how it begins: The art community expresses excitement, art enthusiasts collect the work and drive up its value, and groups, like colleges and universities, research and compile information that helps to complete the picture, while scholars continue to explore the meanings and historical value of the artist and works.

“One of the things that has been very interesting,” says Richards, “is that all of the people who knew Jacob as friends or relatives or classmates, going back to childhood, have been surprised at what other people have brought in or have talked about. So, even among those closest to him, no one seems to know everything that he ever produced. So, there’s been a lot of discovery going on, even among his closest friends.”

This is the beginning, perhaps, the birth of a bright light in art while his friends and family are still around to tell the story, warts and all.

The exhibit, she says, is for the purpose of “bringing together various pieces of his work to renew interest in him” and “to introduce people, who might not have heard of him to the diversity of his work.”

To this end, Richards has gathered a pretty representative sampling of Knight’s work. “Not everything is an original. We do have giclees [digital copies made on inkjet printers with a pseudo-original texture] of most, or I think all, of [Knight’s] community scenes.”

Richards has gathered several original pieces, including a morose head sculpted

from wood and dressed with metal and nails that once hung outside Knight’s front door on Wigwam Hill in West Brookfield, where he made a living museum of his Colonial-era home. She also has clean, detailed folk scenes painted onto old door panels, and a rusty piece of duct work, beaten flat when Knight found it en route to the Brookfield Elementary School where he volunteered in art classes, and identified by the students as looking like a cat. Then, there is the wide wood panel adorned with old leather boot scraps that look like cuddling animals.

Knight saw the potential art in everything.

THE ART

Richards has collected photos by B.A. “Tony” King of the artist himself and his zany domain, beautiful black and whites of the artist at rest amid his imagination manifested as a home. Others chronicle the day that Knight built a towering sculpture of old bikes – right in the road.

Then, there are the album covers done

Where the Art Is” collection, for which Knight designed a set of beddings; magazine covers, and event flyers (including one for a poetry reading at Worcester’s former Coffee Kingdom, for which Union Music’s Carl Kamp was an opening act).

And, of course, the exhibit will feature the works for which Knight is perhaps best known: his classically nostalgic mural-like

paintings commemorating the southern New England towns around which he grew up, like Palmer and the Brookfields.

“The one he did of Palmer fills the back wall of their community room – it’s huge,” says Richards.

Others mark milestones of area businesses, like Ware’s Mary Lane Hospital’s 75th anniversary and Worcester’s Coughlin Electric’s 100th;

and yet others simply mark milestones, like the Boston Common’s birthday, and the 1991 Sturbridge Harvest Festival (for which Knight always donated an outsized, outrageous scarecrow).

“He worked in acrylic or oil on canvas,” says Richards. “One of the pieces actually appears to be oil on drapery fabric. He did a lot of pieces that are what you would call ‘found objects’ or ‘bris-collage.’

He and some of his friends would make runs to the dump in West Brookfield to collect shoes, dolls, bottles, pans – almost anything you could think of,” says Richards, “and then create works from those.”

“It’s a fairly common technique,” she says, “but Knight makes it distinctive.

Many of the pieces he created were larger than life size.” One well known example, documented in one of the exhibit’s photographs, is a gigantic figure made entirely out of white enamel pots and pans that stood guard in his yard.

Knight excelled on canvas, too, creating meticulous, miniature worlds full of stories rooted in keen observation of geographic and cultural details, and, like Norman Rockwell, clues suggesting identities, including his own, in the works.

community scenes people can identify themselves and many times he’d work his friends in, even on album covers,” Richards says.

One such album cover, for Corky Laing’s 1977 album, “Makin’ it on the Street,” shows Jacob’s friend, the late Worcester familiar, Paul “Tiny” Stacey, who can be recognized by the blue plate he holds, signifying the Holden bar with which he is associated. An art blog features posts by “Sue Edling” discussing a painting of Knight’s that included several friends. Edling was disappointed at her omission, until Knight explained that she was a butterfly tucked safely under a boat at the bottom of the work.

“Knight excelled at both creating worlds and representing the world around him,” says Richards, “wherever that might be - Wigwam Hill, Martha’s Vineyard, Spencer or Palmer, Mass. and he did so with intelligence, ingenuity, insight, whimsy, and charm.”

So, despite the often biographical, literal nature of his folk paintings, he deemed his work “fantasy.” The term is fitting, as peculiar abstract elements often compete with otherwise documentary landscapes, such as a painting loaned to Becker by Frank and Patti White of West Brookfield, which naively depicts a small town and a disproportionately large white cat looming over the night horizon.

“It’s whimsical fantasy/folk art,” Richards says. “He had a great sense of color; and there is a real balance between human and animal life, and in many cases the animal life and nature predominate over the human images.”

THE PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST BY YOUNG ARTISTS

The house on Wigwam Road, where for decades, Jacob laid low and made art and friends (and perhaps a few disgruntled enemies among his neighbors), and which became in time something of a mecca for young artists who were drawn into his ever growing sphere of influence, bears little trace of the surrealism of his painted woodpiles and rock walls, his looming tin pan scarecrows, and the carved faces that emerged from trees throughout the surrounding woods. (The house remains, though the barn leans precariously to the ground.) The memories among some young artists transformed by Jacob Knight’s vision, however, burn bright as ever.

Stephen DiRado, a noted photographer based in Worcester, and an arts faculty member at Clark University, tells stories of social comment through his work. In the 12 W O R C E S T E R M A G . C O M • M AY 9 , 2 0 1 3

early ’80s, he shot a series at Worcester’s Bell Pond and another at the Galleria Shopping Mall.

He says that he met Jacob “in 1985 through a mutual artist friend, [realist, surrealist] Bryan Davagian.” Jacob, he says, had asked Bryan to drive him out to Knight’s home on Wigwam Road in West Brookfield, “to become acquainted and talk about life and art.” This led to a series of photos, at Wigwam Road, beginning in April of 1987, later published in DiRado’s book “Jacob’s House: Photographs 19871994.” DiRado set up a makeshift studio in Jacob’s barn, where he made painstaking prints of the artist’s collections, and

was no exception. “To others, he was toxic and a recluse that was perceived to lack any sort of sophistication. Jacob was a bohemian to the bone.”

To DiRado, though, Jacob Knight was tonic not toxic. “It didn’t take me long - after a few visits - to love, respect and cherish a visionary that somehow, against all odds, in his early 50s, held onto the idealistic child within him,” he says.

“Contrast this with a man that is well over 6 feet tall and looks like a lumberjack, sporting a prominent gold tooth when smiling.”

“I was one of many artists that frequently drove down Wigwam Road, an STEVEN KING

“Noah’s Ark,” by Jacob Knight occasionally photographed the artist, too.

“My, or anybody’s, first visit to Jacob’s house is overwhelming,” says DiRado. “His environment makes any hardcore hoarder jealous. The only difference is that there was a sense of an aesthetic placement of everything collected about in his acres of yard, barn and house. It was a visual feast, and bewildering to the mind to comprehend the sanity of an individual who self-proclaims to be the caretaker of so much chaos.

“As a visual artist and one who documents community, I was hooked,” DiRado says. “Not only for what Jacob achieved with his collection, but [because] Jacob himself was an enormously charismatic individual that was impossible to neatly define. If you were willing to hold on and go for the ride, Jacob became a magician in front of your eyes, relentlessly performing his magic to an individual or willing audience.”

Beauty, though, rests in the eyes of the beholder, they say, and DiRado says Jacob

old country road (at that time), to Jacob’s.

We were all ears, like kids, hearing bedtime stories about his life.”

These stories are now the stuff of legend: “He was a baseball star in high school,” says DiRado, “worked briefly as an extra in Hollywood, and then moved to NYC to become a janitor at NYU in the art department. There he pulled out of the trash discarded canvases that he reworked to develop his own primitive maturing style. The finished paintings he sold out of the back of a van to the likes of Liza Minnelli, (Hungarian photographer) Andre Kertesz, (late folk guitarist) Richie Havens, members of the Rockefeller family and many more. It was hard to connect Jacob to any of these people,” says DiRado, “until he showed me photos of him side by side with all [of them].”

“Kertesz,” says DiRado, “has a portrait of Jacob in his book titled ‘Portraits.’ I was at a Richie Havens concert with Jacob in 1993, that impressed me the most. Havens, at the end of one of his songs looked

out into the audience, spotted Jake and acknowledged him. Later, behind the stage, the two of them hugged and talked about old times.”

“Jacob proclaimed to be the keeper of the Brookfield’s dump. Five times a week he would rummage through new deliveries to bring back and archive an array of items. I witnessed him many times over file away books, picture frames, old photographs, toasters, kitchen utensils, and boxes. Boxes full of belongings to a recently deceased, a person’s history collected in a box to be thrown away because they were the end of the family line. Jacob felt somebody owed it to them to remember. I went through many of these boxes and relived many a stranger’s life.

“Over the years, starting in 1987, I made it a point to photograph Jacob in and around his house. Later, by the early ’90s, I invited Jake to stay with me and other friends on Martha’s Vineyard.

We picked up our same conversations about life and art wherever we ended up together.”

DiRado recalls, “Upon my first visit, Jacob, now sober for a number of years, told me that his best friend for decades was Jack Daniel’s Whiskey, but it almost killed him. Sadly, with no effective say in the matter, I witnessed Jacob’s return to drinking by early 1993. Jacob died in the fall of 1994.”

For Rhode Island painter Don Cadoret, “My relationship with Jacob Knight began in the early 1980s when I went to photograph him for stories for publication.

And, after first meeting him, I immediately became — I don’t know — entranced, transformed, whatever, because we were both painters and of very similar style or look at life, and from that point on, I was at his house two or three times a week photographing him, bringing paintings up and we would work out details and try to solve compositional and story elements.

So, I knew him for probably 10 or 12 years.

“He was definitely the attraction,” says Cadoret. “So many people would show up at his door just to visit with Jacob and it could be problematic, because he was trying to get work done, but he never turned anyone away. He loved having visits and talking about art or the way he saw the world.”

“I refer to it, I guess, as a childlike sense,” he says. “He was kind of a poet with a paintbrush and I think that’s how I changed my outlook at that point, thinking in more poetical terms, but it was still very childlike, and my work has a similar feel to it. And so I think that connection between us was immediate. He was a story painter, so he would infuse his paintings with story, vibrant colors — it was whimsical and serious at the same time. I really enjoyed that aspect of his work, and his personality matched it perfectly.”

recognition during his lifetime; not as much since then, although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely long overdue, because I believe he was definitely a serious artist and, by Becker acknowledging that and really wanting to get behind an important alum that they have, hopefully will bring more of his work out into the forefront.â&#x20AC;?

Several auction websites record sales in the past decade that top out at about $1,200 for one of Knightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paintings, with several others ranging from $400 to $1,000. Still, the enthusiasm of people like Cadoret and DiRado, who still carry the verve of those whose lives have been altered by the model of another, is a good start.

Add to that, the rich anecdotes of a life lived with passion, spontaneity, and

vision (Jacob was an untrained artist. It is said that he spent exactly one day at an art school in Boston. The instructor held up a paintbrush and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a paintbrush.â&#x20AC;? Jacob quit.) and you have the kernels that may sprout into a posthumous career with legs. In fact, a bulletin board on askart.com teems with posts inquiring about the deceased artist, from former schoolmates relating his sports heroics to those who were inspired by Jacob Knightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ways, on and off canvas, and many others hoping to contribute to some kind of complete biography of the man. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just working our way into it,â&#x20AC;? says Richards at Becker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[He is a] very interesting man and I think the thing that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed most strongly is how beloved he remains almost 30 years after he died.

This end is a beginning; The Curtis Mayflower sets sail as Dive Bar Music Series concludes

By Brian Goslow with photos by Steven King

There were times at the Dive Bar last Thursday night when you could close your eyes and imagine you had transcended back in time and dropped into the audience at Cream’s farewell show at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 1968 or a London nightclub where Jimi Hendrix and friends were jamming on the Beatles recording that came out earlier that day.

Musicians have channeled music from the past since the first instrument changed hands and phonograph records brought the sound of jazz and the blues around the world at the start of the 20th century. But few have taken on as many genres, and done so expertly, as the musicians who performed during the Dive Bar Thursday Night Music Series over the past six years.

THE LAST THURSDAY Many in the crowd have the experience of being onstage with the band — because they are, everyone’s beers dangerously close to all the amps and sound equipment. As trombonist Jeff Galindo waits to add his magic to the mix, the close-knit quarters suggests he could decapitate one of the audience members with one wrong move. “I’ve learned how to keep my eyes open for people,” he said outside, sneaking a break on the bar’s outside patio during an extended jam.

The crowd gets louder as the group’s music effortlessly switches genres song by song — from deep southern blues to southern rock, Chicago blues fusing into British blues, morphing into the sound Deep Purple made during their early ’70s heyday, all before they break into an extended funk and soul session that includes snippets of War’s “Me and Baby Brother” and Sly and the Family Stone’s “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin),” during which frontman Craig Rawding accents the line, “Different strokes for different folks,” as he whips the crowd into a frenzy.

Rawding’s vocals rose over it all. “It was a chance to be less structured and sing songs I don’t normally do or try out new lyrics over grooves that were being laid down by the band,” says Rawding, who normally fronts The Delta Generators and who teamed up with Duncan Arsenault to release “Phantom Train,” an “ambient folk rock duo album” as The Marshall Pass.

The evening’s performance had been made more urgent with the announcement earlier that week that it would be the final Dive Bar Music Series session; the audience seems determined to soak up every possible note before the night’s music comes to an end. The room is packed so tightly it’s impossible for the crowd not to brush against the musicians and their instruments, who are jimmied in as close to the area below the evening’s drink sign as humanly possible; an already vacuum-tight room gets tighter when those amassed in the outside patio area try to get inside.

“When the crowd is insanely tight like that, it can be a bit of a challenge to get comfortable but there’s also the side of it being really cool to have

people be able to get close and see what we do up-close and personal,” guitarist Pete Aleksi says. “When a musician is in his element, there is littleto-no holding back of the spirit and it’s really cool to see someone let go musically.”

Through it all, Jeremy Moses Curtis’ bass playing is a vibrant all-cylinders funk attack in the style of P-Funk’s Bootsy Collins to Black Sabbath’s Geezer Butler (It doesn’t matter whether Curtis ever listened to a note of Sabbath; Butler got his start as a teen in a blues band and undoubtedly studied many of the same influences). Similarly, Aleksi’s guitar playing shows pure mastery of every style the evening’s set list throws at him, all accompanied by the steady groove laid down by keyboardist Brooks Milgate.

IN THE BEGINNING Drummer Duncan Arsenault, who started the weekly jam sessions in August 2007, for the night, and all but three of the 300 or so that preceded it, laid down the beat. “They never had music here before,” he said of the series’ creation. “It was started due to my relationship with (owner) Alec Lopez and his philosophical ideas for his bar.”

On his Facebook page announcing the end of the series, Arsenault stated, when he first pitched the idea, “I promised that if I could not put together the best group of musicians I could find that I wouldn’t play.” Initially, the Thursday nights just featured Arsenault and two other performers, usually keyboardist Steve Mossberg or late guitarist Scott Ricciuti, either together or with a special guest.

“We were really just doing duos,” Arsenault said prior to last Thursday’s finale. “Then it got out of hand with horns and big band sections.”

Depending on the night, and who was in town, that included local musicians returning from a stint on the road with a national traveling act or an out-oftown musician dropping in for the evening.

THE PLAYERS While certain musicians settled in for extended periods of time, the night was never advertised as featuring an actual band. “There were different musicians every week, playing different styles,” Arsenault says. He counted 79 musicians who played with him during the Dive Bar Series’ six-year run.

He kept a list of those who performed during that time and has posted it on http://tinyurl.com/divethurs; he suggests people Google every name on the continued on page 16

was the feeling of complete freedom,” he said. “Most of the music I play has a high level of improvisation, so I’m used to creating on the fly at the Dive — most of, sometimes all of — was completely made up on the spot.”

On this evening, that was most prevalent after Rawding announced, “If anyone’s going to drop acid, now’s the time,” before Curtis started the bass lines of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon,” which, while true to the original, had plenty of free-form creativity. It allowed everyone in the building to go on his or her own trip, with each face in the crowd processing whatever was going through their minds and bodies differently, spacing out, going on a d little journey of the mind. li Keyboardist Milgate, whose full-time band, Hey Now Morris Fader, continues b to support their third CD “Good Times Ne’re Forgot,” says playing all those N Dive Bar shows has “really helped” D his hi organ playing; a connection made through the series earned him a place in th the th recent Boston Rock ‘n’ Roll Rumble finals.

After having played three Dive n Bar Ba shows, Glenn Yoder asked him to join jo his group, the Western States (whose album “Javelia” was produced by alb Curtis), for the competition, where they Cu came in second to winner Eddie Japan. ca Through playing the Dive Bar with guitarist Troy Gonyea, back in his gu hometown when he wasn’t on the road ho with w the Booker T.

list, “a fascinating and rewarding musical experience” when you learn what each are currently doing along with their past accomplishments.

Keyboardist Brooks Milgate estimated he played 200 to 250 of the Thursday night shows.

He had been exchanging emails with Arsenault about starting a soul band when he first sat in for a night. “The band was all friends and we would just play because we loved playing,” Milgate says. “It was a great place to try a new song that you had written or play with a new person. I wouldn’t consider it a ‘jam’ session but it was always very unscripted and spontaneous, but that was the beauty of it.”

While the lineup changed every week, the sessions weren’t traditional jam sessions where people would drop in unannounced, the bandleader would shout out a well-known song, and everyone tried to replicate the record.

Arsenault says it isn’t common for clubs to host jams featuring the music that’s been played at the Dive Bar because, while many of the songs are known by many in the audience, they’re not your typical Top 40 oldies fodder everyone’s heard thousands of times since they were kids. Most of the p players, put y p together specifically for that night’s show, have been serious rock ‘n’ roll, rhythm and blues and soul music audiophiles since their teens, and the songs are part of their DNA. “You have to know the songs; not all 79 of the people who played were made for this gig,” Arsenault says. “Certain types of musicians thrive in off-the-cuff situations. Some nights, you can see the stress on people’s faces as they’re trying to play a song (they’re not fully versed in) while with others, it’s magical.”

Guitarist Pete Aleksi definitely was made for sessions like these; he played 30-40 of the nights. He reflected on how playing the Dive Bar shows compared to normal band gigs. “What made it different 16 W O R C E S T E R M A G . C O M • M AY 9 , 2 0 1 3

sharing pictures and posters from sh the series. It was a reminder of th how much great music had been h generated during its run. ge

Mike Benedetti, co-host of the 508 webcast, says it wasn’t one thing that made the series special. “It was the great beer, the changing lineup of the bands, the mix of covers and originals and songs out of left field, and especially the crowd,” he says. “Just all these people who would ordinarily be out making the city a better and more exciting place, taking a break to drink and talk and sing along.”

Another aspect that gave the series its unique character was having access to an inhouse B-3 organ. “It’s a miracle to have that here,” Arsenault says.

Infamous for their unforgettable sound and their weight — traditionally in the 800-pound range and a nightmare to move, Bill Connor created a portable 600-pound B-3 for use at the Dive Bar. “He saw what we were trying to do with rock, jazz, soul and funk and though it would be a good calling card for his business to do this.”

Connor’s own band, The Organ Donors, was Wednesday night regulars at the bar for a spell; and he used to play Monday evenings solo.

F FORMED FROM THE S SERIES

REASON FOR THE END So why is it all ending? “The Dive Bar decided to stop the regular Thursday series, not me,” Arsenault says. “They plan on doing special events and still have music, just not as a regular Thursday series. It’s most telling of what’s happening to live music these days.” For his part, Dive Bar owner Lopez declined responding to email questions on the legacy of the series and the reasons behind its cancellation, citing that coverage was only coming after “something so unprecedented in the scene” was ending.

(Note Worcester Mag’s June, 8, 2011 story on the series’ 200th show that ran prior to the event.)

Indeed, much of the promotion for the Dive Bar Music Series was word-of-mouth, especially through Arsenault on Facebook where, over the past few weeks, he’s been

“Iron Man 3” was made with two clear purposes: to exploit the popularity of its predecessors to make a ton of money here and abroad (already accomplished), and to have an excuse to call the film “Iron Man 3-D.” Yeah, if you want to, you can watch the metal Avenger do his thing in that most annoyingly overused movie technology. I chose to see the film in 2-D, and after staggering out of the theater into the bright sunlight of a Saturday afternoon, I had to wonder if my eyeballs could have withstood the additional dimension. Even Robert Downey Jr.’s one-liners are starting to defy the practical limits of time and space.

Typically, the first film in a superhero series is relatively weak because the obligation to explain the hero’s origins sucks so much oxygen from the story.

Second installments are usually superior since they have the liberty to improvise (think “Superman II,” “Spider-Man 2,” “The Dark Knight,” etc.).

“Iron Man 2” broke that mold as a bland sequel featuring Mickey Rourke’s electrified whips and introducing Scarlett Johansson’s forgettable Black Widow. Likewise, nothing seems fresh or innovative in the third iteration, other than Tony Stark’s newfound ability to magnetize his iron suits so they can fly in pieces across great distances and attach themselves to his body. The industrialist has also assembled an army of remotecontrolled ironmen to do his bidding — the drone equivalent of a superhero.

The bad guy in this one is Mandarin (Ben Kingsley), an international terrorist whose beard, demeanor, grainy jihadist videos and death-to-America TV appearances clearly are meant to evoke Osama bin Laden. He’s responsible for several bombings in public places, which to many viewers will elicit parallels to the recent events in Boston.

The film loses its nerve and refuses to say anything substantive about terrorism other than it’s bad.

Brave.

Mandarin’s ally is Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce), a mad scientist who has created a team of super soldiers whose bodies turn molten-hot when they’re angered (the goons’ limbs also regenerate, making them very difficult to kill). The nature of Mandarin and Aldrich’s relationship supplies one of the movie’s better twists, and Kingsley obviously enjoys the opportunity to do some unexpected, and funny, things with a character who initially seems bred from a Comic Book Villainy 101 class.

When his best friend is seriously injured in a Mandarin bombing, Stark vows revenge.

Unfortunately, he’s suffering from paralyzing anxiety attacks brought about by the events depicted in “The Avengers,” when Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, et.al. routed the alien hordes in New York. Stark is living with his love Pepper in a cliffside mansion in Malibu.

If you’ve seen the trailer — and there’s every reason to believe you have — you’ll know the house is attacked by Mandarin’s men and slides to the bottom of the Pacific, with Iron Man trapped beneath it.

He break frees, thus launching a saga that involves lots of stuff exploding and probably whizzing off the screen (for those watching in 3-D). “Iron Man 3” is so jacked up that the roster of visual-effects folks listed in the closing credits reads like the Dead Sea Scrolls. It … doesn’t … end.

The movie feels as hollow as Stark’s patter. When the industrialist befriends a 12-year-old boy in a Tennessee town — the kid recognizes him from his photo in a print newspaper; c’mon, some things really strain believability — their interactions result in little more than a few McGyver-like antics and white-trash clichés. (Dad went out for lottery tickets and never came back; mom drinks. Or does she work her fingers to the nub in the local greasy spoon? Can’t remember.)

Iron Man will make another appearance in the “Avengers” sequel, but Downey has expressed reluctance about perpetuating the character. The franchise would miss him, but a fourth “Iron Man” is inevitable whether or not he participates. Somebody can fit into that suit.

380 Southwest Cutoff, Northborough • 508-842-8420 • jbag.biz

Sports never tasted so good Zoe Dee

It’s Bruins playoff season, the Red Sox are back on the field and Boston sports fans are swarming to bars with beer on draught and large-screen TVs showing the game. Luckily, JJ’s in Northborough is the best of several worlds; it combines pub-style food in a full menu, a good-sized beer, wine and cocktail list, and being first a sports bar, shows Boston team games on more than a dozen flat-screen TVs, including one that spans close to an entire wall.

Customers seat themselves at JJ’s, allowing for a choice seat to watch the

22

game. On a recent Monday night, like a stereotypical couple, Max, the hockey fanatic, took a seat in a booth with a view of the oversized television showing a Bruins vs. Maple Leafs game, while I chose a spot across from him that was comfortable and still provided a view of several televisions that beamed coverage

of baseball and hockey. The waitresses at JJ’s are young, friendly, admittedly adorable in their feminine-style jersey tee-shirts, and ours did not waste any time taking our order and serving up two 23 oz. Harpoon IPAs.

There’s no getting around the hearty, comfort food at JJ’s. Appetizers include classic bar favorites: buffalo, BBQ, bourbon, teriyaki wings, mozzarella sticks, potato skins, and of course, ultimate nachos. Several others are created around one main ingredient: cheese. The Spinach & Artichoke dip ($8.99) was served in a casserole dish, piping hot with a side basket of colorful tortilla chips. The dip was creamier than others I’ve had with a distinct flavor of cream cheese. Large, soft artichoke hearts, immersed in the cheese, were the highlight of the dish, while small bits of spinach were less paramount, but a nice addition.

Sure, several salads are offered at JJ’s, but let’s be honest. How many of us are going to pass up a $5 burger special on Mondays, one of the several sandwich melts or a pizza, most of which are less than $10? Not Max or I. Max ordered the Seafood Fra Diavolo ($12.99) from the specials menu. The dish was a bed of linguine, dressed in a delicious, spicy marinara sauce and topped with the most flavorful pieces of haddock I’ve had since last summer, large scallops and shrimp off the shell. Two warm and soft triangular

pieces of Italian bread, toasted with garlic and olive oil, were served with the pasta.

I’m a sucker for cheese and pasta, so the name Adult Mac & Cheese ($9.99) practically jumped off the menu at me.

The dish is made with the spiral-shaped pasta cavatappi, Velveeta-like cheese and topped with a dusting of bread crumbs; it is served with garlic bread too. This mac and cheese is hearty, warm and simple; similar to the atmosphere at JJ’s. At one point during the night, Max remarked, “I like places like this that don’t try to be something they’re not.”

There is a macaroni and cheese dish for the kids too, as well as grilled cheese, chicken fingers, cheese or hamburgers and other little-one-favorites, all under $6.

Max and I had a great time, and felt somewhat at home watching the game and indulging in the food at JJ’s. Next time, we’ll be sure to try something from the extensive dessert menu that includes apple crisp, peanut butter chocolate cake, lemon meringue pie and other scrumptious sweet treats. Our bill was much less than we expected, making the restaurant not just a great place to catch a game, but well worth the price of dining out.

Finding what’s between the buns in Worcester ...

The Boynton

FOOD ★★★★½ AMBIENCE ★★★★ SERVICE ★★★★½ VALUE ★★★★½

Sara Jane Nelson

The Boynton is a step above your average neighborhood restaurant. They’re dedicated to providing the locals and students with traditional, but quality food, beers, and (in case you didn’t notice) sports games on its televisions. While the restaurant becomes extremely busy on weekends and when New England teams are playing, I very much enjoy that they serve food later than many restaurants, and was completely satisfied with the burger I recently had.

I ordered The Boynton Classic Burger. All of The Boynton’s burgers come standard with lettuce and tomato on a hamburger bun. I decided to add other classic toppings as well, like ketchup, mustard, bacon, provolone cheese, onion and pickles. It turned out delicious. Classic is a great description as it is reminiscent of a great backyard grilled burger. I ordered my burger medium, and although it was cooked more towards what I’d consider medium-well, the patty had a great chargrilled flavor to it. The toppings were heaped on, including the crunchy bacon, which was a treat. It was also a surprisingly non-messy burger.

This Boynton Classic Burger will cost you $9.99. They are flexible with the sides for additional charges, but it already comes with a pickle, onion rings, and French fries, so what more could you need? It’s a classic choice that even pairs well with a beer and, of course, watching the game.

Major King spent eleven months plus, (14 MAY-23 APR 13) deployed to Afghanistan as part of V Corps (Wiesbaden, Germany) where he served in Kabul in the ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) Joint Command (aka IJC). Just before he was redeployed here to Germany, he was awarded his second Bronze Star. Major King says, “It is my honor to serve my country and my fellow “man” from all over the world. Most of all, I am very glad to make my dad proud.”

Richard DesLauriers

He is married, has a son and, oh yeah, heads up the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) in Boston. Chances are good that, until last month, you had no clue who Richard DesLauriers was. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine by him; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather stay behind the scenes. Circumstances, however, dragged him from anonymity into the public conscious when, on April 15, terrorists detonated homemade bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. For the next week, DesLauriersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was a familiar face on television newscasts as authorities vigorously and tirelessly hunted for the suspects.

They finally found them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with one of them, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, dying during a gunfight in Watertown three days after the bombing and the other, his younger brother, Dzhokhar, being found wounded and hiding in a boat the next night. The investigation continues, but DesLauriers is largely back behind the curtain. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll step out again Saturday, May 11 to deliver the commencement address at his alma mater right here in Worcester, Assumption College, where he graduated in 1982 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a gig that was set up well before the attack in Boston. The 26-year FBI veteran took time recently to chat with Worcester Mag as he gets ready to return to Assumption, where he will receive an honorary Doctorate of Laws.

Was this the most unique case you have handled while with the FBI, given that it allegedly involved brothers, pressure cookers and a road race? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a jogger

You helped apprehend â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whiteyâ&#x20AC;? Bulger.

What kind of satisfaction was there for you in that, since he had eluded authorities for so long? I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really

myself. I found it particularly galling that an attack would be perpetrated against the marathon.

address that case. In any case thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very serious where we have victims, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always working to achieve justice for that criminal. We are always focused on achieving justice for the victims.

How surprising was it when, about a half hour after the press conference on Friday, April 19, authorities learned the second suspect might be hiding in a boat not far from where you had been looking all day? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a specific question pertaining to the investigation. I think, certainly, we had some wonderful law enforcement relationships built here in Boston and Massachusetts that allowed us to utilize the mantra of â&#x20AC;&#x153;one team, one fight.â&#x20AC;? We do have some relationships in the commonwealth built on regular contact all of us have.

We know each other on a first-name basis.

As an FBI agent, is everything workrelated off limits when it comes to telling your family? Certainly, I have to be careful of what I say. I am bound by rules dictating what you can or cannot say to anybody that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have appropriate clearance. Even within law enforcement we speak broadly most of the time.

Is it ever hard not to say something to your wife, especially when dealing with a case that could, perhaps, affect your family or is it something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to?

One of them would be Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis, right? Is he as big in person as he appears on TV? Ed is

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a professional and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how I am trained. I have grown quite used to it.

a wonderful partner of ours and a good friend of mine. Ed is a big guy and he is a very good guy.

You are married, but on Twitter some women have posted some rather nice things about you, including singer Juliana HatďŹ eld. Had you every heard of

her? I was aware of that, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything to say about that.

She said she had a crush on you because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re â&#x20AC;&#x153;all business and no bullshitâ&#x20AC;? and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t whine or play head games. Is that an accurate description of you? I am a serious-minded individual. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty straight-laced. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been called a by-the-book FBI agent by US Attorney Carmen Ortiz. I am very focused on active investigations and the mission of the FBI.

Your quote at one of the press conferences during the Marathon investigation, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will go to ends of the earth to ďŹ nd those responsible for this despicable crime,â&#x20AC;? was called â&#x20AC;&#x153;badassyâ&#x20AC;? on Boston.com. Did you know when you said it that it would strike a chord with people? No, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, but really I meant it when I said it, and I certainly did say it. Those words ring true to this day.

A line like that would sound great in a movie, and there is speculation that the Boston attack will get the Hollywood treatment sooner or later. Which actor would you choose to play you? I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t [guess at] that. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much time to watch a lot of TV or movies.

You are returning to Assumption College for its commencement. What are some of your fondest memories of your time there as a student? The friends I made at Assumption and the wonderful professors I had. Those are still friendships I maintain to this day. Most of my closest friends are Assumption buddies. It really is a living legacy to the type of college Assumption is.

Were you preparing for a career in the FBI while you were there? I had no idea I wanted to join the FBI until my third year of law school at Catholic

How important to you is your faith? It is very important to me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a practicing Catholic. I was raised that way by my parents. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried to weave a spiritual aspect into my [commencement] speech.

Without spilling the beans, what basic message are you poised to deliver as the commencement speaker? What keen qualities I derived from my education and how those qualities allowed me to be an effective agent. They can maybe apply some of those practices. Also, a little about the history of Assumption College. Assumption is a wonderful college. What an honor it was to be selected as the commencement speaker. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Walter Bird Jr.

University of America, where I graduate in April of 1986. When I first applied as an agent, I had noticed an ad in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s placement office. I mailed in the application, because you still mailed in applications back then.

It took me about seven months to go through the process and background checks. On Christmas of 1986 I was told I had been selected and had to report to Quantico, Virginia by Jan. 4.
