tate Rep-elect Mary Keefe is itching to get to work on Beacon Hill on behalf of the 15th Worcester District that overwhelmingly elected her on Nov. 6. If she had it her way, she would head into Boston as soon as possible. As it stands, the country girl turned streetsmart activist will have a little time to square things away at the Pleasant Street Neighborhood Network Center (PSNNC), where she is the executive director. Weather permitting, she might also get to spend a little more time tending to her bees – but more about that later. Keefe, a Democrat who registered a resounding victory over Republican challenger Brian O’Malley in the general election (7,565 votes to 2,458), was hoping to be sworn in right away because the seat has been vacant since the beginning of the year when former state Rep. Vincent Pedone stepped down before his term expired. According to a statehouse spokesman, however, Keefe and the handful of other candidates who are filling vacant seats will be sworn in Jan. 2, along with all other election winners. A legislative aide typically tends to matters in a district when it is vacant, the spokesman says. While she may be disappointed at having to wait, Keefe will not have idle hands. First and foremost, she will be stepping down as director at the Network Center and will need some time to tie up loose ends. “I have quite a lot of stuff to straighten out,” says Keefe, one of the founding members of the center when it began 13 years ago. She says she plans to still volunteer. The Board of Directors will choose a successor, with Keefe saying members started meeting before the election in anticipation of a change. Her work and experience at the Network Center may have her well positioned to understand the financial woes confounding so many families in Worcester and across the state. Keefe knows what it’s like to have to make do with less. “I’m really surprised we survived the recession,” she says of the center. “We had

Rachel’s Table in Worcester is among the recipients of nearly $150,000 in grants from Project Bread. The antihunger organization is awarding grants to 35 different agencies in Central Mass. In addition to Rachel’s Table, four other area agencies will receive grants: Worcester County Food Bank in Shrewsbury, Auburn Youth and Family Services Food Pantry in Auburn, Montachusett Opportunity Council Inc., Fitchburg and Ruth’s Harvest Food Pantry in Leominster. +1

a $100,000 line item in the state budget. We would raise an additional $50,000 on top of that and that was good.” When the recession struck in 2007 and 2008 all that changed. First, $50,000 was lopped off the earmark, then another $50,000 erasing the funding. “It was pretty devastating,” says Keefe. “We’ve always done a lot with a not a lot of money. Our capacity was so much weaker in terms of what we could take on.” She feels confident the center is strong enough to operate without an executive director for a while. In addition to wrapping things up at work, Keefe must also choose a legislative aide, a process she has started, but hasn’t quite completed. “I haven’t chosen an aide yet,” she acknowledges. “I’ve had some pretty serious conversations with at least one person. I’ll just leave it at that.” If the weather cooperates, Keefe, who counts gardening and beekeeping among her hobbies, might get to enjoy both a little longer. She got into beekeeping through the Worcester County Beekeepers Association. She has two hives and last year her bees produced 100 pounds of honey, which she labels “Honey From the ’Hood.” Keefe, who earned a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, is also an artist who taught classes for many years at the Worcester Art Museum.

cheesey

While her constituents may find Keefe’s personal endeavors interesting, she knows what they will be most curious about is whether she can deliver the goods back to the district. Her critics, meanwhile, will be waiting like cats to pounce when and if she takes a vote to raise taxes. During both the primary and election campaigns, Keefe’s challengers repeatedly honed in on her public stance that she is not averse to tax hikes to help fund services. “I’m open to anything,” she says. “That’s why when someone mentioned the gas tax I said I’d consider it. We need money to make government work. I’m not saying throw money at every problem, but let’s do some research.” Whether she is sworn in sooner or later, Keefe will have a lengthy adjustment period, according to House veteran John Binienda, who will begin his 14th term next year. “As a rookie she’s got a learning curve in front of her, and it’s quite a learning curve,” says Binienda, adding he has let House leadership know he would like Keefe seated right away. The learning curve, says Binienda, covers everything from learning how to file a bill to simpler things, like knowing your way around the statehouse. “I can remember when I was first elected and I was standing in chambers continued on page 6

Soldier suicides stir medical, military leaders into action STEVEN KING

Walter Bird Jr.

S

tate military leaders and local medical experts are waging war against one of the biggest enemies facing soldiers today: suicide. The University of Massachusetts Medical School and officials with the National Guard and state Department of Veterans’ Services this month formally signed a partnership that makes suicide prevention among military personnel a top priority and stresses awareness and training as the main weapons against what is becoming an epidemic. The problem is especially acute among members of the National Guard “The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are very different [from past military conflicts],” Lt. Gov. Tim Murray says. “We are seeing an unprecedented reliance on our National Guard and Army Reserves. We need to tailor our programs differently. PTSD [post traumatic stress disorder] and TBI [traumatic brain injuries] are the signature wounds of these wars. All it takes is one tour of duty and one very dramatic situation.” The numbers are sobering when it comes to suicide among servicemen and women. According to a Department of Defense (DOD) task force, there was, between 2005 and 2010, a military suicide

Lt. Gov. Tim Murray and General L. Scott Rice, Mass National Guard Adjutant, look at military suicide stats during a ceremony held at UMASS Medical School. The medical school officially joined forces to battle military and veteran suicide with the Massachusetts National Guard and the Massachusetts Department of Veterans Services. The U.S. military has seen a sharp rise in suicides among its ranks during recent years. once every 36 hours. During the first nine months of this year there have been a combined 247 suspected suicides among active and reserve duty Army personnel, according to the DOD. The worst news was in July, when there was a record 38 confirmed and suspected suicides among active-duty soldiers. There were 12 suicides committed by not-on-active-duty soldiers in either the National Guard or

Reserves. In 2011, there were 283 suicides among active-duty and non-active-duty service members: 165 on active duty and 118 not on active duty. Of the latter, 82 were members of the Army National Guard and 36 were Army Reserve. According to National Guard First Lt. Laura Lakin, Massachusetts is actually lucky when it comes to the number of military suicides. The state ranks second

from the bottom in the country, Lakin says. That does not mean there is not a problem. “That’s why the Army is implementing this program and training of so many people in resiliency training,” says Lakin, noting resiliency training involves making soldiers stronger in their daily lives on all levels. “Roughly 200 people a year commit suicide in the military,” says Major Gen. L. Scott Rice, adjutant general of the Massachusetts National Guard. “Why is it so high now? It’s a rhetorical question, but [one reason might be] we’re so much more electronically connected. We are actually emotionally less communicative. Why is the stress different? It’s not, it’s still there. But now we can electronically send all the problems of home in a nanosecond to our service members while they are deployed overseas. But then we come back into our communities and literally not even talk to someone about what we just did over there for months.” Under the agreement all sides signed at a Nov. 8 press conference at the medical school, a collaborative program will be put in place to focus on members of the Massachusetts National Guard, while also establishing a model for meeting the needs of military personnel in all branches. continued on page 6

THE RED FOR ALL REASONS

For some reason, many people are less sure of themselves when they select a red wine. Perhaps this is due to the fact that many people perceive reds as being more “serious” wines than whimsical whites. After all, many reds contain a great deal of tannin, which is the component in red wine that makes it powerful and can also imbue young wines with mouth-puckering astringency. Yet, at least one red wine is decidedly friendlier. Masi Red Blend not only has very little tannin, it possesses a great deal of acidity. And, it is this acidity that acts as a refreshing counterpoint to (and hardly ever gets in the way of) food Áavors. Try Masi with meat, Àsh, pasta or your Thanksgiving Meal.. Finding that perfect red wine for a meal is sometimes a daunting task. Luckily the wine experts at our store are here to help you match the perfect wine to any meal, or even occasion.

and my legs were going back and forth,” says Binienda. “The guy next to me says, ‘What’s wrong?’ I told him I had to go to the bathroom and he says, ‘Well, go’ and I said, ‘I don’t know where it is.’ She’ll have to learn things like that as well terms like ‘engrossment’ and ‘enactment.’” She will also spend time in the “bullpen,” where all freshman legislators serve in one big room until the speaker assigns them an office.

State Rep-elect Mary Keefe

SUICIDE continued from page 5

With the participation of UMass, research will be done on the growing problem of military suicides. Training of people to work with soldiers suffering from PTSD, TBI and other stress-related issues as a result of military activity will also be implemented. Marine veteran Coleman Nee, the state’s secretary of Veterans’ Services, says while service members often joke with each other about the different branches, it can be insulting to belittle the contributions of soldiers in the National Guard. “You do take offense when people talk about Reserves as ‘Army light,’” Nee says. “You take what they’ve been through the last several years, and we call on them again when things like Hurricane Sandy and a nor’easter happen. Every single citizen and every single community understands we have a moral and societal obligation to care for our men and women who have served their country.” Rice, who started with the National Guard in November 1989 after nine years of active duty, knows too well the devastating effects regular, everyday stressors can have on soldiers. “I was put in charge of deployment in Canada,” Rice recalls of one experience. “I’m part-time, and I had a full-time counterpart, a SEO [Senior Enlisted

Officer]. Just after deployment, he killed himself. The thing that struck me so hard is I didn’t see it. I didn’t see the stress overwhelming him. He had had relationship issues with his wife, going in and out of that relationship. It is so important to understand the warning signs, to see what they mean and just reach out and talk to people.” “One thing I have changed in my life,” he continues, “is when somebody says something to me and something outside the topic of conversation comes up I focus on it. Is there something that they’re trying to say to me?” Suicide is still “relatively taboo,” says Rice. What is needed, he adds, is the message that getting help is not a bad thing. “We all need to relieve stress in some way,” he says. Have a story idea or comment?

FOR YOU,

NOT FROM YOU.

Congressman Joe Early since the early 1970s, when the elder Early was a state representative. “There’s a void that will have to be filled,” Binienda, a longtime member of the state Legislature, says of Early’s passing last week. “Joe Early was a power broker. It will always be tough to replace him.” Early so loved his constituents, Binienda says, that having district offices was not good enough. “He got an old camper and outfitted it with signs that had his name on it and would drive to all the cities and towns in his district. People would ask him why he would do that and he would say it was not easy for all people to go to D.C. to see him and some people couldn’t get to Worcester, so he bought a mobile office to them. He would stay there for one or two days.” One of the things Early is most remembered for is his work on behalf of UMass Medical Center, which many believe would not be in Worcester today if not for the Congressman’s dogged determination. “His last year in office … there was an award of $6 million for some type of cancer research that Joe was able to get,” says Binienda. “The very next year the guy who replaced him [Peter Blute] bragged about UMass getting $500,000. [Early] just really thought [the campus] was a gem of the UMass system. There were many fights in the legislature about where the the building, or now many buildings, should be located. Joe would not back down.” For those efforts and more, Binienda believes UMass should dedicate something on the campus in Early’s memory, even though there is already a post office named after him. “The UMass buildings, emphasize the ‘s’ on buildings, would not be there if Joe Early had caved,” Binienda says.

TAPPED OUT: Thousands of residents were either without water or had very little earlier this week when a massive water main break on Chandler Street left city officials with no choice but to basically depressurize and shut down the entire water system. Crews worked around the clock starting Monday afternoon, after the water main, which Public Works Commissioner Bob Moylan says was in place since 1932, ruptured and flooded the area in and around the Worcester State University (WSU) campus. The break occurred on a 30inch main, which required crews to establish control over a larger, 40-inch main before they could work on the compromised portion. Residents and businesses were cautioned not to drink city water, with a boiling order put into effect until further notice. As for what caused the break, Moylan isn’t sure. “There is some speculation, but it is merely speculation,” he says. “It could have been something in the making. It could have been some imperceptible movement to the pipe. Who knows? It could have been related to the earthquake a few weeks ago. I’m not at all saying that’s what it was, but any imperceptible movement could have caused the stress the led to this break.” As of Tuesday, the day after the break, the city was “in pretty good shape,” according to Moylan, but the boil order continued. The system remained depressurized, something Moylan called “unprecedented,” which meant potentially harmful levels of bacteria could be present in the water.

to 16 employees spanning three departments. Employees in advertising, news and human resources took buyouts from the paper, which recently relocated from its Franklin Street headquarters to smaller space across the city common. The employees – who had to work for the T&G at least 20 years to qualify for the buyout – started leaving in October; some will remain on until next year. This is the latest round of buyouts at the T&G. Employees in production were offered buyouts earlier this year and similar offers were made in 2010 and 2008. Publisher Bruce Gaultney tells Worcester Mag there are no plans to replace the positions, but says hires will be made as the publication continues to restructure itself in the digital age. “The number of adults reading our news has shown increases in recent years,” Gaultney says, “so yes, I am confident that our focus on enhancing our digital efforts while continuing to provide a high-quality print product will allow us to continue to be the primary local news and information source in Central Massachusetts.”

GRIFFIN’S INNER GAY: Comedian Kathy Griffin held court at the Hanover Theatre on Sunday, where, she joked, there were probably seven straight guys in attendance. She may not have been too far off. Griffin is beloved in gay circles because of tireless advocacy on behalf of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered individuals. She frequently refers to her “inner gay self” and is clearly at home with a decidedly liberal crowd, which judging by the roar of applause at every anti-conservative joke, was out in force at the Worcester show. During a recent interview with Worcester Mag, Griffin promised a dig at Lt. Gov. Tim Murray and his now infamous early-morning crash. Sure enough shortly after walking out on stage a little after her scheduled 7 p.m. start time, Griffin apologized for being late, saying she was driving there with Murray and “the car flipped over several times.” In her next breath, she cracked: “Don’t bother asking me what happened, because my story will change several times.” WHO YA GONNA CALL?: Apparently not John Binienda. The state rep says he was expecting a call from his Republican opponent in the Nov. 6 election after the results came in, showing Binienda would return to Beacon Hill. Alas, no such call came from Bill LeBeau, something that did not go unnoticed by his opponent. “I thought he would at least call to concede or say congratulations,” says Binienda. “But I guess not.”

Did you awaken on the 7th of November feeling a little like Ray Milland in “The Lost Weekend” or were you feeling more like Sly Stallone in the first “Rocky” flick? I’m referring, of course, to the day after the presidential election, when Republicans everywhere opened their eyes to their worst nightmare, worse even than a liberal waking up next to Ann Coulter smoking a cigarette, growling: “Was it good for you?” When Rachel Maddow declared Barack Obama the winner, a collective wailing broke out from coast to coast, loud enough to raise the recently deceased George McGovern from his eternal slumber.

I went bonkers with happiness when it became clear that Obama was victorious, and I admit that I was doing the Bavarian Dance of Joy in my living room when Scott Brown got his clock cleaned by the woman he sneeringly referred to as “The Professor.” Senator Underpants looked more like Gilligan as he gave his concession speech. “Hey, Little Buddy! Tough break!” I chortled. This time around, I was not a gracious winner. No, I could not find it in my heart to simply be pleased with the election results. Too much was said, too much was done during this campaign to allow me to tap into my inner Emily Post. I spent months arguing on Facebook with people who wrapped their racism in more acceptable terms such as “Socialist” and “ Communist” words whose definition they couldn’t give when pressed – when all they really meant was the “N” word. I listened to vicious assaults being made on Elizabeth Warren’s integrity by people supporting a man who

claimed to meet regularly with kings and queens. I watched clueless fools tell women that they are too stupid to know the difference between sexual assault and sweet lovin’, and I listened to Mitt Romney tell more lies that Jon Lovitz. I half-expected Willard to tell us his wife was Morgan Fairchild. And maybe it’s not a coincidence that “Angry Birds” is such a popular video game: the endless retaliation the birds use against the leering pigs is awfully familiar. This election debacle was a disgrace. The money wasted by both parties could have kept our public schools running with adequate supplies and staffing for a decade. But the total disregard for truth was the most appalling aspect of the process. What must we have looked like to the rest of the world, I wonder? As a teacher, I tried my darnedest to remain neutral when students asked me about the candidates; instead of giving my opinion, I urged them to read up on the issues and to make sure all eligible voters in their homes exercised their right. We discussed the threat of voter

Harvey

suppression, and I told them that only by staying away from the polls on voting day can their vote be taken away from them. In my heart, I hoped I was right. As a voter and an avowed political junkie, I’m worn out from the brawling. Despite my relief over the outcome of the elections, I feel bruised and pushed around. The nastiness and bullying has left a black eye on all of us; at one point, I found myself become so aggravated by opposing views that I’d nearly forgotten the most important rule that opposing views are the lifeblood of a democracy. So maybe we aren’t feeling like Rocky. Maybe we’re more like the cast of “The Hangover,” suffering from our own over-indulgence and not knowing when to say when. Here’s hoping that lessons were learned from this out-of-control rock fight – that money can’t buy a presidency; that women, blacks and Latinos count and will be heard; that decency and compassion can muscle out greed, after all. I’d say: “Let’s toast to it,” but frankly, my head hurts too much. NOVEMBER 15, 2012 • WORCESTERMAG.COM 9

THE

THE

GOODof Parking in Worcester BAD &UGLY Walter Bird Jr.

THE

You can’t make all the folks happy all the time. That’s how the old saying goes and nowhere might that be more evident than when it comes to parking in Worcester. Whether they come from residents in three-decker neighborhoods looking for more on-street parking, business owners who want less or motorists at their wit’s end after finding yet another ticket on their windshield – one thing is certain: The complaints come often and there’s no reason to think Worcesterites will ease up anytime soon. With CitySquare well on its way to realization, there will be even more people looking for that coveted spot, and like it or not they will have to pay.

“You know, nobody wants to pay for parking,” says District 1 City Councilor Tony Economou, who also chairs the Committee on Traffic and Parking. “I don’t know if it’s unique to Worcester, but there’s still that small-town mentality of I’m going to get in my car and go down the street. I think it’s growing pains. Areas that weren’t originally residential are now being converted to residential. When you have that kind of use, it’s usually parking that gets omitted.”

A PLAN hether or not that means the city

W

needs a comprehensive parking plan, as Economou suggests, can be debated. There has not been a major parking study in Worcester since 2005, when the Off-Street Parking Board commissioned a study of the Central Business District (CBD). An ad hoc zoning committee produced a report in 2007, but some members don’t remember what, if any, recommendations were implemented. A consultant has been hired to examine

the off-street parking program and bring it up to date with “latest businesses practices,” according to Joe Borbone, director of engineering, Department of Public Works and Parks. He says, “[The city] has been running the parking program for a long time without major upgrades.” That report will be launched soon, says DPW&P Commissioner Bob Moylan, and while it will not include a call for new parking areas, there will be “some important and drastic recommendations.” That, he acknowledges, means motorists STEVEN KING

can expect some parking fare increases. Outside of that, some officials do not see the need for a city-wide parking study, noting the city has done “a number” of parking studies, especially in the downtown area. “I think at this time we’re in pretty good shape,” says Borbone. “People who have concerns have the option to petition city council. Councilors are very good about listening to people’s concerns.” They certainly do get an earful. On almost every weekly council agenda, there are numerous requests for no-parking or resident-parking-only signs. Parking administration on the second floor of Worcester City Hall regularly handles parking-ticket appeals. So is there a parking problem in the city? “There certainly is a perceived parking problem,” says Borbone. “I would say we are in fairly good condition in Worcester. Any citizen can park in very close proximity to their home. But probably the biggest complaint is from three-decker neighborhoods. In a lot of places you have to walk 100 feet or further. That doesn’t mean there’s no parking. That’s probably the biggest complaint we get.”

there is no place to park. In the Canal District, it didn’t take long after a much-needed street-improvement project for the naysayers to cry foul. First, the meters that had been removed two years prior, returned. After about a week or two of letting businesses and patrons adjust, the city conducted what seemed like a parking sting – parking control officers (PCOs) swarmed all over the area, slapping tickets on cars as if they

were doling out candy at the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade. Those most targeted: area employees who, not wanting to pay the $1-an-hour meter fee and eschewing the Water Street parking-lot meters that charge 70 cents an hour, took to parking along Harding Street. The biggest problems were the curb cuts to a vacant lot. It is against the law to park within five feet of a curb cut, even if in this case there was no driveway, just a giant swath of dirt and patchy grass covered with broken glass and jagged rocks. As District 5 Councilor Bill Eddy puts it, “[Canal District Business Association president] John Giangregorio and the Canal District, they’re barraging the city with complaints over parking enforcement.” Moylan recently met with Giangregorio and a handful of concerned Canal District merchants, some of whom complained the meters were hurting business, another saying some of his employees might actually quit because they cannot afford to pay for parking. While Moylan wasn’t quite offering to do away with parking fees, he did sound a conciliatory note. “It can be solved,” says Moylan.” It’s not like we live in a black-and-white world. It is a violation to park at a curb-

Whether it is a curb cut to someone’s property or not, it’s still a violation that warrants enforcement. That said, with our PCOs we can try to be a bit more sensitive to the fact that there are people parking there [who are working in the area].” He seems to have followed through with that promise; in the weeks since the meeting nary a parking ticket has been spied on vehicles continuing to park along Harding Street. As for the executive complaining about the metered lot on Water Street, Moylan offered to draft a proposed monthly rate for employees. District 2 Councilor Phil Palmieri, who

counts residents in and around the Canal District among his constituents, notes the city established the Blackstone Canal Parking Overlay District for the area as a means to stimulate business growth. “The fundamental rule for the overlay was to encourage development,” says Palmieri. “Change is difficult. I don’t disagree about the veracity of ticketing. I know the mindset has been, for the past five years no one bothered us. I’m sympathetic to it, but these people who work [in the area] should also become a little more sensitized to it. There are costs to what has happened.”

WHAT THE CITY GAINS hose costs don’t just come in the form

T

of fewer parking options in some places; there is a price tag associated both with ticket fines and paying for the privilege of parking in Worcester. Over the past four years, city coffers have added $5.2 million in parking-ticket revenue, including $1.3 million so far in fiscal year 2012, putting it in the ballpark of the total collected in fiscal year 2011. In addition, the city has received $1.5 million over the past four years in penalties associated with late or unpaid parking tickets, including $356,604 so far in fiscal year 2012. (In case you were wondering, 90 percent of the tickets doled out in the city are done by PCOs – the remainder is issued by police.) Much of the revenue generated from tickets and fines is poured into the city’s general fund. The city also benefits from approximately 1,600 curbside meters charging varying rates; most of the downtown meters charge $1 an hour, although there are still a few 40 cent meters to be found, some on Chandler Street for example. Some of the revenue from curbside meters goes into maintenance, the rest into the general fund. Curbside meters fall under the purview of the City Council. Then there are the four municipal parking garages and 14 so-called “open-air” parking lots, although some have been closed. The city’s garages include one on Major Taylor Boulevard, the Pearl Elm Garage, Federal Plaza Garage and at Union Station and offer up a total of 2,813 available parking spaces. Among the parking lots are Francis J. McGrath, General Pickett, Green Street, Millbury Street, Water Street and Brittan Square. In total, they have 488 parking spaces. According to Borbone and Moylan, the off-street program is operating with a $400,000 net loss. Expenses in fiscal year 2012, says Borbone, were $3.7 million, while income was only $3.3 million. According to the city’s budget overview, approximately $3.3 million in expenditures was approved for fiscal year 2012, about the same as for fiscal 2013. The problem, says Borbone, is debt service, which it has on all four garages. The Union Station Garage cost about


{ coverstory } $10 million and has been open five years. There is a 20-year payback plan on that garage. “The off-street program has kept the parking rate artificially low,” Borbone says. “We try to do that to make it as convenient as possible for people to park. Right now we’re in the red and we have to turn that around. But our parking rates are lower than in Hartford, Springfield, Cambridge and Boston.”

PRIVATE OPTIONS he city’s lots and meters aren’t the

T

only option for visitors in and around downtown. Some private businesses own and operate their own lots, which puts money in their pockets while pumping property-tax revenue into the city. Private lots don’t come without their own controversy, most notably when rates are jacked up for events at the DCU Center and other “special” occasions, such as when new citizens are sworn in at Mechanics Hall. For the most part, downtown private lots stay in the price range of $10-$15 most days, but those prices can leap by as much as $10-$15 when, say, a band like Phish comes to town. Mark Schwachmann is vice president

of First American Realty, which owns two downtown lots – one at 100 MLK Jr. Boulevard, the other at Pleasant and Chestnut streets. The former is often used for visitors to Saint Vincent Hospital at Medical Center, while the latter is mostly used by employees working in and around the downtown area. “Both lots have separate rates based on location,” says Schwachmann. “In general it’s what the market will dictate. Every year we do a market study of what area lots are charging. We try to be in line with what they’re doing.” And while the various lot owners are competing for business, they usually get along, according to Schwachmann. “The competition,” he says, “is healthy. Everyone seems to have their own way of doing business. For the most part, if I have question about parking I can call any one of the managers of the other lots.” Just as there is kvetching over municipal parking, there are also complaints when it comes to the private lots. “No one likes to pay for parking,” says Schwachmann. “Everyone’s going to complain about it, but then they go to Boston and they’re paying three or four times what they would pay here. For the size the city is, I think parking is reasonable. It’s a service.”

requirement on the opposite side. “They’re putting me out of business by me not being able to make the corner with cars on my carrier,” Fields says. “I cannot make the swing because they park all the way out to Shrewsbury Street. They’re stopping me from doing business. There’s already no parking on my side. I want no parking on the other side. I can’t bring cars to my car lot. I can’t back in and out of that alley way.”

NOTs Borbone ON THEIR STREETS noted, the greatest volume

A

of complaints comes from residential neighborhoods, mostly those dotted with three-deckers. Business owners, like those in the Canal District, also chip in with complaints. Among them is Dick Fields, owner of First Time Used Cars at 2 Putnam Lane off Shrewsbury Street. Fields was a recent speaker during the public forum part of a City Council meeting, when he spoke in support of a petition for no parking on either side of Putnam Lane. “I have a four-car carrier,” says Fields. “When I need to turn the corner, and I have four cars, it’s impossible. There is a gym down the street. At 7 a.m. they park their cars on the opposite side of Putnam Lane, lined up all the way down to Nebraska Street. From 5-7 p.m., there are cars up and down the street again. Sometimes in the morning they park on Nebraska Street in front of my two-bay door.” An over-hanging tree on the adjacent property also doesn’t help, says Fields, but when cars park on the side of Putnam Lane opposite his shop, it makes navigating his carrier an especially tricky proposition. While there is no parking on his side of the street, there is no such

It also just happens to be the only street near Gates Lane School of International Studies, which has limited parking spaces, where teachers and other school employees can park without fear of being towed. According to Eddy, teachers used to be allowed to park in the shopping plaza across the street, but that arrangement ended. As a result, the cars moved onto Holland Road, creating a headache for residents who, dealing with their own limited options, need to park

on the street. Chief Financial Officer Tom Zidelis, according to officials, is currently trying to work out a deal with the shopping plaza that would allow teachers to start parking there. “I know they’re looking at Holland Road for no parking on one side,” says Brian Allen, chief financial officer for Worcester Public Schools. “We’ve been in communication with Tom. I know they’re working on developing a proposal to free up space for the teachers.” It wouldn’t be the first time the school district would have to rent a place to park. That is the scenario in place at both the Jacob Hiatt Magnet School and the Goddard School of Science and Technology. The district rents parking space from the YMCA for Jacob Hiatt and a small lot from a neighbor of the Goddard School for staff parking. “The challenge we have now is building a school large enough to meet our enrollments,” says Allen. “We’re challenged in a lot of schools for parking. We want to be good neighbors, but our teachers have to park some place.” Not everyone believes school officials have done everything they can to alleviate the parking congestion around Gates Lane, including some councilors. “Gates Lane is a good example that not every place has a simple solution,” At-Large Councilor Joe O’Brien says. “In that case, there is. If they have to lease some spots from the shopping plaza they should do that. I’m disappointed the city administration and school department have not been able to solve that issue. Create a no parking zone around there. If the school has to pay for a lot or build a lot, they should bear that cost.” Eddy agrees, saying: “If a school has parking issues within a neighborhood, it’s the school department’s responsibility to address it.”

GOOD AND BAD an Capuano is in the unique position

D

of experiencing both sides of the parking issue, as both a business owner and resident who sees the good and bad of parking in Worcester. Capuano owns Putnam Lane Repair, which moved to a spot on Harding and Franklin streets near the Union Station garage. “I have plenty of parking on my lot,” says Capuano, noting the nearby St. John’s Church on Temple Street helps out by renting parking spaces. “St. John’s rents spots to people who commute by rail. Instead of the garage and paying $8 or $9 a day, they pay less and park at the church. I’m looking at the garage right now and the top three floors are empty. It’s always like that. They chain it off. I think if people that park there knew they could park at the church for $1 they’d park there. A lot of construction guys building the new bus terminal park there.”

The situation isn’t quite as rosy along Ararat Street, where Capuano resides. “That street is always busy,” he says. “There’s the Salter School property, which is now abandoned. There’s an athletic field next to it. Parking is so bad at times when you have a game, people park on either side of Ararat and you have kids running in between cars. It is very dangerous.”

PRIVATIZED PARKING? hile it wouldn’t solve residential

W

parking issues, O’Brien believes the city could benefit by following a model implemented in Chicago. That city privatized its parking and private investors run the meter system. “I think it’s worth looking into,” says O’Brien, who explored the issue as mayor. “We looked at it. It is an option. We could generate money for our parks and our schools. I had an intern look at it as far as what kind of revenue could be raised

and could you leverage that as an asset? It didn’t go very var. There was resistance from the city administration.” “I still think it’s worthwhile,” he continues. “As we make progress downtown, there will be greater demand. I still think we should leverage these [city lots] and sell them, especially now that the economy’s rebounded.” Whether the city would be successful is uncertain. In Chicago, after metered parking was privatized, rates increased.

Earlier this year, Chicago Parking Meters LLC, the company running the system, demanded $14 million from the city, saying it was owed the money. Moylan, for one, is not enamored with the idea of privatized parking, noting it can create more problems than it solves. “I haven’t talked to folks in Chicago, but while it was thought to be a panacea for all their problems, they have found out it has some long-term negative causes both politically and from a business standpoint,” Moylan says, adding he believes the wave of privatized parking “seems to have passed.”

If that ambitious, multi-million-dollar project delivers on its promise, there should be even more people heading into Worcester in the near future.

by the Worcester Business Development Corporation (WBDC) that does propose some new parking. “Parking certainly needs to be one of the considerations when planning for revitalization and urban renewal, but at least for public parking downtown there is an adequate supply.” There will be more meters around City Square, with the intent of rotating people in and out of the spaces and keeping a steady stream of visitors rolling in and out of businesses and offices. That, in turn, would increase the chance of more tickets and fines being assessed, but Moylan says the overall goal is attracting more people into the city and encouraging more, not less business development. “Parking regulations and enforcement are available as complements to business and users of those businesses,” Moylan says. “They are not meant to be adversarial to the success of a business. What I envision downtown is, typically with on-street parking the basic goal is to have turnover. We’re looking to create turnover for people who want to visit a store or office. Part of the plan is to motivate people who think they need longer-term parking to use the garages, where we have plenty of available parking.”

A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE hen it comes to parking in

W

Worcester, what it all comes down to, some say, is perspective – depending on where you live or how you look at it, there may be an issue, but it could always be worse. “Perspective is important,” says At-Large Councilor Kate Toomey. “In Worcester we used to be able to park in

front of wherever we wanted. If you went to a store, you could park right in front. That’s not the way it is now or is going to be. In areas like colleges a lot of folks who own houses there are … They can’t park near their property, I can understand that.” But, she adds, people also need to understand they live in an urban center. “Most of the housing stock in the city was built when people didn’t have cars,” Toomey says. “Most now have at least one, if not two cars. People relied more on public transportation. Many neighborhoods were not built for an increase in autos. Of course we’re going to have a parking issue. As Worcester becomes more populated, it’s going to increase.” Toomey believes better signage and some forward-thinking could help relieve some of the problems. “Every time I see something, I’ve filed requests for removal of loading zone signs when they’re not necessary. I’ve tried to advocate on behalf of businesses,” says Toomey. “As for off-street parking, look at other towns like Framingham and Natick, where there is a lot of parking behind their business centers. We should be looking at utilizing some other areas. We can’t go backward, we need to go forward.” When you get down to it, she reasons, the fact that there are complaints about parking isn’t necessarily a bad thing; in fact, Toomey believes just the opposite. “Look at the positives,” she says, “If we have concerns about where people are going to park, that means we have more folks in the city and that’s a good thing.” Have a story idea or comment?

Holy Cross, South High pair up to create virtual tour for Worcester Art Museum Taylor Nunez

How is art relevant today? Why do we study these strange objects? What does art have to do with our everyday lives? These were the questions that led Dr. Amanda Luyster to revamp her Introduction to Visual Arts course at the College of Holy Cross. By the spring of 2012, Luyster found herself in what she describes as a “professional midlife crisis.” For seven years, Luyster had successfully taught how art can teach students about history but felt she was missing a dire piece of art and its influence. “I wanted to make my art history classes feel more grounded in the ‘real world,’ that is, the ‘real world’ of both public schools and iPhones, funding cuts and high-tech gadgets,” Luyster explains. Collaborating with Worcester’s South High School, the Center for Teaching and Holy Cross’ Donelan Office of Community-Based Learning, Luyster developed a plan where her college students would produce a virtual tour of selected pieces at the Worcester Art Museum, utilizing interviews with South High’s students to see how each piece and object interests them and how they relate to

the art. “I liked the idea that college students could learn from the people and cultural resources around them, and I thought that community-based learning would be a good way to approach and examine the relevancy of art in the world today,” says Luyster. To involve local high school students, Luyster contacted Christine Lucey-Meagher, an art teacher at

A screen shot of the digital tour of a Worcester Art Museum exhibit.

South High School. Lucey-Meagher selected a class consisting of juniors and seniors to participate. “For me, it really was a win/win. My kids loved meeting the college students and a lot of them had never been in the museum,” says Lucey-Meagher. With Holy Cross providing transportation and admission to the museum for the South High students, the Holy Cross students were able to conduct their interviews without Luyster or Lucey-Meagher as intermediaries. Once the interviews were finished, Luyster’s class used the results along with some original text from alongside the images at the Worcester Art Museum, audio and video clips to

piece together their tour. Inspired by the objects they saw at the museum, Lucey-Meagher’s class created their own pieces using the medium and scale of their choice to recreate what they spoke about. In addition, Luyster applied for a grant and was able to purchase muchneeded art supplies for Lucey-Meagher’s classroom. The project, titled “ARTful Bodies,” included a variety of images that all focused on the same thing - the body. “These art objects, although produced millennia and continents apart, all represent the human body. We include images of children and teenagers, parents and the aged, images of beautiful bodies, haggard bodies, warrior bodies and divine bodies. We can all relate to the images of the human body in which we inhabit,” illustrates Luyster. Luyster’s theory and the art displayed at the Worcester Art Museum proved to be thought-provoking and sparked conversation among all the students. Luyster described how one oil painting prompted a conversation between two high school students to engage in conversation about the complicated relationship between sisters how it feels to live day in and day out with a sister and the many emotions the relationship drives. An ancient stone relief provoked a discussion of linebackers, the physically imposing and the immovable, like a stone wall. A sculpture of the ancient goddess Hygeia led to the often pondered upon subject of what health means for women today and how a healthy woman should look. Although shy at first, Lucey-Meagher’s students quickly warmed up and by the end of their two hours together, the South High and the Holy Cross students were exchanging email addresses. Holy Cross sophomore and student of Luyster, Connor Davock, explained how he was able to connect to the high school students. “It was only two years ago that I was in high school, so I’m still at an age where I can relate to high schoolers but also be mature enough to act as a role model.” Davock noted how important the South High School students’ input was and how it changes his original ideas for the piece he focused on. “I came in with a very focused, formal and analytical mindset. I mechanically analyzed every part of the body, but I didn’t really look at the bigger picture whereas the students offered an insightful and much younger perspective of my piece,” said Davock. Luyster hopes that contributing to “ARTful Bodies” provided a full experience to the South High students. For those ending their high school career, the project gave an arena for them to witness college students in their element and perhaps allowed them to consider the possibility of college more seriously. Secondly, the project may have changed the preconceived notions continued on page 18

the students had previously about the museum and what they have to offer and picture themselves in that word, too. Lastly, and perhaps the most important piece of the project, is the sheer fact that their voices were heard. “Validating a student’s opinion in a public forum, like an online tour, underlines our belief that what that student says matters, and by extension, that that student matters. Selfesteem is central to academic, and life, achievement,” Luyster explains. With a commitment to their research and labor, the Holy Cross students had much to gain. “My hopes for this project are myriad. I hope this project encourages my students to have more confidence in their own abilities to work in the ‘real world’ and in the Worcester community,” says Luyster. On Wednesday, November 14, Luyster’s students unveiled the final product of the virtual tour at the Cantor Art Gallery at Holy Cross. Now that the tour is available, viewers can explore the museum from their own home or choose to use the tour when at the Worcester Art Museum on their smartphones or tablets. Utilizing the tour while at the museum will allow

visitors to listen to the audio clips while standing in front of the work itself. As Luyster explains, “Many people enjoy seeing art through different types of lenses; that is, not only looking at it in silence, but listening to what others say about it, and reading about what others have seen in it. I do not believe that technology changes art, only that it can help us see art in different ways.” Katrina Stacy, assistant curator education at the Worcester Art Museum, believes that the new virtual tour will work toward making a noncuratorial younger voice present. “We think our public has a desire to see and hear different types of voices when they visit us. Engaging in these types of partnerships will hopefully show the community that we are welcome to people of all age groups, and welcome their input.” To navigate through the new virtual tour, visit https://sites.google.com/site/ artfulbodies/.

Father of mine Jim Keogh

The word “home” is tricky for Cyril. He lives in a home for boys with no parents — a youth farm really — but, despite the attentive care he receives there, this isn’t home by any stretch. Cyril is no orphan. He has a father, but the man has abandoned him and departed for points unknown. The kid stages his own personal manhunt for his missing parent in the hopes that they can rekindle a relationship. He eventually tracks down Dad working as a prep cook at a Belgian restaurant, and the guy’s response to his son is limper than overcooked pasta. But the kid is not dissuaded by the brush-off. He’ll make this work because, well, fathers and sons are supposed to be together — that’s life’s algebra. In his quest for family unity, Cyril encounters an angel of sorts, a local hairdresser named Samantha who agrees to become Cyril’s foster parent on the weekends. Samantha is compassionate and clear-eyed, but when pressed she proves she can be tough with both Cyril and his wayward father. The French film “The Kid With a Bike” tells Cyril’s story with a whole lot of heart but with a sort of balky rhythm that doesn’t always click. For instance, the early sequences of Cyril scrambling to find his lost bicycle begin to wear thin until — thank God! — he comes into possession of the titular bike thanks to Samantha’s intercession. When she returns the bike to Cyril (never having met him before), he asks her to be his foster mother, and she essentially replies, “Sure.” Sort of an odd, abrupt way to assume guardianship. Later, Cyril falls in with a Fagin-like thug named Wes for a substantial stretch of the film that doesn’t ring true in several small ways. For one, Wes looks like a greaser from “The Outsiders;” he couldn’t appear more out of place (or out

of the proper decade, for that matter) if he sported a pack of smokes rolled up in his T-shirt sleeve. Truly, for someone who’s supposed to strike fear in the locals, he’s eminently ass-kickable. Stay gold, Wes. “The Kid With a Bike” is at its best when the story zeroes in on the complicated dynamic between Cyril and Samantha. If we never quite understand her motivation for becoming a surrogate mother, we can at least appreciate Samantha’s noble work with this confused boy at the expense of other

relationships in her life. As Samantha, Cecile De France is beautiful and strong, nurturing and steely; she is exactly what this boy needs at this exact moment in his troubled life. There are echoes of other great French movies in “The Kid With a Bike,” most notably Francois Truffaut’s “The 400 Blows,” with its themes of parental alienation and the persistent threat that a genuinely good kid will go over to the dark side. Cyril is fortunate that, in Samantha, he has an extra set of fingers on the handle bars, helping to guide him as he pedals along unknown streets. “The Kid With a Bike” will be shown at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday and Saturday, and at 1 and 2:50 p.m. on Sunday in the Jefferson Academic Center at Clark University as part of the Cinema 320 film series.

for a pizza just after a Sunday afternoon Patriots’ victory. The pizza shop was empty of customers but phones rang off the hook and delivery drivers were coming and going with regularity.

“It’s a shame that the corner of Pleasant and June is the Bermuda Triangle for Worcester businesses,” replies Joe when I tweeted that I was eating at Newton Square Pizza. The revolving door of businesses at this location has been depressing, but Newton Square Pizza is poised to succeed with a business plan that includes excellent Italianstyle pizza, fair prices and courteous service. As Whitney Houston belted out “The Greatest Love of All” on the in-store FM radio, I sat down

Newton Square Pizza features a decentsized menu of pizza and subs, with the ordinary choice of traditional pizzas, but also a few unique items — including an excellent Gyro pizza ($8 for a 10 inch pie, $14 for a 15 inch) featuring thinly sliced gyro meat, fresh sliced tomatoes, onions and a mouth-puckering tzatziki sauce. These toppings arrive piping hot on a thin, crunchy and perfectly doughy crust, without the grease that you come to expect at other pizza restaurants. Aside from pizza, the restaurant also features more than two dozen sandwiches served in wraps, French rolls or pockets, toasted upon request. On top of standard sandwich choices like Buffalo chicken ($6) and cheeseburger clubs ($6), it also offers more than 10 appetizers and a handful of freshly made salads. Though none of the appetizers stood out as anything

noteworthy, a group of middle-schoolers hanging out at the table next to me claimed that the fries (both curly and straight) were the best in the city, and a great price at just more than $3. On this particular visit, I sat down to order a large teriyaki pizza, a 15-inch pie featuring grilled chicken, pineapple, Canadian bacon, and a healthy dose of tangy, savory and sweet teriyaki sauce. The chunks of warm pineapple balanced out the salty Boar’s Head Canadian bacon perfectly, and the teriyaki sauce drizzled over its three-cheese blend held everything together. With toppings like Canadian bacon and pineapple, the pizza resembles your typical Hawaiian pie, but the teriyaki sauce adds such a delicious twist, it stands apart from any other pizza that I’ve had. These toppings brought together into a pizza are excellent, but

the crust truly stands alone as one of Worcester’s best pizza crusts. While Worcester has plenty of pizza restaurants with crunchy Greek-style crusts, Newton Square Pizza’s crusts are thin and crispy on the bottom, with a light cornmeal dusting around the edges and plenty of steam-emitting bubbles. Newton Square Pizza is sparsely decorated and seating is a six-chair bar that faces the Newton Square rotary, with three tables flanking the bar towards the rear of the restaurant. Orders are placed at the counter and service was good during each of my visits, with the friendly staff quickly ringing me up and bringing my food to the table. In-house diners, though, will be rare because of Newton Square’s biggest deficiency — the utter lack of parking. Between Monday through Friday parking limitations and seasonal parking bans, diners are forced to park in front of a residence on June Street, Pleasant Street or Newton Avenue. Even in spite of the parking challenges, Worcester pizza lovers would be remiss to pass up on the excellent and unique pizzas, as well as the truly fabulous crusts from one of Worcester’s newest pizza joints.

K

ing Cab, better known as Cabernet Sauvignon, is widely considered the king of wines. This varietal produces big, bold wines with intense flavor and concentration. Cabernet Sauvignon is a hearty grape that grows well in multiple soil and climate conditions. Because of this, most of the world’s wine regions grow some Cabernet. Dark blue in color, these grapes are small in size, but yield powerful flavors backed by substantial tannins. The result is a flavorful red wine that typically ages well and blends with other grapes. Cabernet became internationally recognized through its prominence in Bordeaux, France, where it is often blended with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Today it is found in places like California, Washington state, Australia’s Coonawarra region and Chile’s Maipo Valley. One of the most noted traits of Cabernet Sauvignon is its affinity for oak, either during fermentation or in barrel aging. In addition to having a softening effect on the grape’s naturally high tannins, the unique wood flavors of vanilla and spice complement the natural grape flavors of black currant and tobacco. Because Cabernet Sauvignon is a very bold and assertive wine it has the potential to overwhelm light and delicate dishes. The high tannin content as well as the oak influences and alcohol levels play an important role as to how well the wine matches with various foods. Needless to say personal choice is the key here. Cabernet has certainly gained notoriety in California’s Napa Valley. In fact today Napa Cabernet is considered by many to be the benchmark for the varietal. OF THE WEEK Prices can range anywhere from $10 to $300 per Novelty Hill bottle. Many of the high-priced Cabs now have a cult following, which has driven prices to lofty levels. Cabernet 2009, Personally, I can’t think of a wine I love more than Washington state, $17 Cabernet. That’s why it will always be king with me.

An Open Reading Series It is difficult To get the news from poems, Yet men die miserably every day for the lack of what is found there - William Carlos Williams - One Poem is an open poetry reading series meant to provide a venue for writers to share their work as well as the work of established writers they admire. The series is open to the WSU community: students, staff, faculty and alumni: and to the community at large.

If you have no original work to read but want to offer poems from writers you love, please join us. Come: read, listen, learn.

Erick Godin Let’s get this out of the way right up front: Yes, Erick Godin knows the Rolling Stones played Sir Morgan’s Cove one fateful night in 1981. More than 30 years later, he gets that the show is still the one folks talk about most when it comes to the popular Green Street nightspot he now owns, and which for almost 14 years has had the moniker The Lucky Dog. But did you know Clarence Clemons also played there? Or Joe Cocker? And how can any “Sopranos” fan forget that none other than Christopher Moltisanti himself (his real-life name is Michael Imperioli, by the way) played a gig there several years back with his band? The 43-year-old Godin grimaces as he talks about how some people still call his venue “The Cove” and how the Stones somehow always seem to come up. It isn’t that he can’t appreciate the historical significance of what was supposed to be a private jam session for Mick and the boys that ended not being so secret – he does. But there’s much more to The Lucky Dog than the Rolling Stones. “[Cocker] always gets the short end of the stick on that one,” says Godin, who in addition to running one of the city’s biggest rock institutions also fronts the ’80s band Flock of Assholes. The band has a busy week coming up: On Wednesday night, Thanksgiving Eve, The Flock plays JJ’s Bar and Grill (formerly JJ O’Rourkes) in Northborough. On Thanksgiving, the band plays its annual Turkey Day show at The Lucky Dog. And on Friday night, Godin is back on stage at The Lucky Dog, this time going back a decade into the ’70s with a different cover band, Afternoon Delight. We sauntered over to The Lucky Dog on a wet and raw Tuesday afternoon, where Godin, who is also an artist and likes to cook, met us and did the obligatory photo shoot before grabbing a stool at the bar in the rear room off the dance floor. Across the bar, on a shelf against the wall, a picture of late local music legend Scott Ricciuti served as a poignant reminder of the talent that has passed through the Lucky Dog. It is those singers and bands that provide Godin all the motivation he needs to keep opening the doors to his bar day after day, even in an economy that has dealt a severe blow to business. This summer, he concedes, was the worst ever. He is hopeful that the last couple months of the year will even things out. Gracious and humble, Godin opens up about everything from those shirts for sale that hang on a rack near the back bar (they are real, used work shirts) to his favorite Flock of Seagulls song. Yes, he has one.

What’s the best thing about owning a bar? The worst? Some of the hours

involved is the worst thing. I don’t shut this thing down in my head, hardly ever. I go home and start thinking about the next move. You have a good night--and you think that’s awesome-and then you realize you don’t have a band booked for the following week. Time flies in this business.

Why not keep the name Sir Morgan’s Cove? Everything that was historically

recognizable about Sir Morgan’s had some negative impact as well. It was definitely time for a change. People still call it The Cove. I think we’re actually surpassing the amount of time Sir Morgan’s was in this building.

Is it safe to say you wouldn’t mind if people never mentioned the Rolling Stones again? I would be totally fine with that. I understand the importance to this city, to history for God’s sake. It happened. Every once in a while I’ll try an anniversary of the Stones playing here. This year I booked The Blushing

STEVEN KING

Two minutes with...

Brides for the 30th anniversary. It was like half full. Some day it’s going to finally outlive itself.

There’s plenty of them, when they think they’re drawing more people or think they’re getting more. There are times we’ve had guaranteed contracts with a band and we didn’t make it up at the door. We have booze and door receipts to put toward the final night’s bill, that’s it. There’s no food or anything else to put toward the band. There aren’t many places in Worcester where the bathroom is part of the attraction, but here it is. The men’s room is all done with prints from my personal Betty Page collection. It’s all covered in laminate. A lot of people have tried to pry them off. We just redid the ladies room over. I don’t know how many Facebook messages I got saying, “Thank you so much!” The guys are fine with the ladies on the wall. I don’t get it.

Christopher Moltisanti played here, for crying out loud, right? Boy, was he

Finish this sentence: “I went to the Lucky Dog and all I got was …” The best

pissed. I figured it was a big deal that he was coming here. It’s not like his coming in had anything to do with “The Sopranos,” but I had posters with him as Christopher on “The Sopranos.” I had advertised it. He shows up to load his equipment and sees the posters and rips them all down. He threw a hissy fit. Christ, we sold the show out. The Haiku ended up inviting him and his band there, and they put them in the back and gave them whatever they wanted. When he came back, he had calmed down, and when he was done playing he said it was the best set he has ever played and that the place was fantastic. We had very attentive listeners that night. I would have expected the exact opposite. But the ads and the posters are what got them here.

live entertainment in the city.

What is the worst experience you’ve had with a band playing at The Lucky Dog?

Does Worcester need more bars, a larger concert arena or a mid-sized hall? I don’t think they need more bars. I think a lot of the bars are masquerading as live music venues. They have to have the quality. We need maybe a mid-size, maybe another large, but even a place like the Palladium, they’re having a bitch of a time. The DCU, bands will play in Boston and in outdoor venues. I think we’ve got to try to make it happen here, by getting the bands to come to Worcester.

How? I don’t know. I really don’t know. What is your favorite Flock of Seagulls song? My favorite? Well, there’s “Space Age Love Song” and “Wishing I Had a Photograph of You.” That one is it,

“Wishing I Had a Photograph of You.”

Is it a requirement to spray your hair with Aqua Net and wear a skinny tie to a Flock of Assholes show? We always love it when we see people coming out and getting into character and wearing costumes. We encourage it, but we don’t demand it. It just makes the night that much better.

What was your favorite show with The Flock? This is really fresh, but this past Saturday at Sakura Tokyo was just amazing. It was truly one of our favorite shows ever. It was at capacity right when we hit the first note. There was a line out the door. But the restaurant was smart, they served people drinks as they were standing in line in the hallway.

Another sentence to finish: “If I didn’t own a bar I’d …” I would do a couple

things. I would try to do more artwork and possibly pursue professional cooking.

OK, so what’s the story with shirts you have for sale? Are those real business names and real people’s names on the front? Yes. They came from a place in Philly. They sell me the blanks with the patches on them. I had a local artist, Derek Ring, design the backside with our logo. We had it printed and screened locally by Brilliant Riot. Thanks to Duncan Arsenault we now have a new website up and running. The shirts will be available online soon. What is it about The Lucky Dog that keeps people coming back for more? I do think it’s the attention to the live entertainment, but also the attention to details with sound, with the people that work here. It’s friendly and you get a lot for a little. —Walter Bird Jr. NOVEMBER 15, 2012 • WORCESTERMAG.COM
