or many in the city of Worcester, there’s a legitimate question being asked about Holy Cross’ students. Are they just having a little bit of pre real-world fun, or are they demons sent from hell to invade a Jesuit school for the purpose of preventing an entire neighborhood from a good night’s sleep?

In all seriousness, the Holy Cross vs. the neighbors debate is not a new subject, but this incarnation has some interesting subtexts: the city manager called them out on the council floor, the school is demolishing old houses to make way for a new dorm and new discussions have some PILOT overtones festering in the background.

This could get more exciting than Jell-o wrestling.

Now, would some one please hold up my legs while I do a keg stand?

he Woo Card, Worcester’s loyalty card, is expanding this week to include more venues.

Owners of a Woo Card enjoy special discounts for events, museums, dining, shopping, outdoor recreation and other cultural activities.

The Woo Card was started in 2007, and originally only available to college students. Last year, the card became available for the general public, so now anyone can benefit from the discounts the Woo Card has to offer.

Some of the arts and entertainment discounts offered to Woo Card subscribers are two-for-one admissions to venues, 10 percent savings in gift shops, as well as a 50 percent discount to The Hanover Theatre’s upcoming production of A Christmas Carol.

In addition to the discounts and savings offered to members of the card, owners also earn Woo points each time they use their card. Earning 10 points gains a gift card to a local restaurant;

increased the number and variety of participating businesses. In addition to the cultural venues of the Worcester Art Museum, Mechanics Hall, Tower Hill Botanic Garden and several more, Niche’s Hospitality’s Worcester Restaurants are now participating, along with local hotel accommodations and limousine services such as Worcester Airport Limo and All Points Limousine.

The Beechwood Hotel joined the Woo Card program in 2009. “I am very optimistic about it [expansion]. It brings people into the community,” states Mark Waxler, the hotel’s general manager. The Woo Card is also available for sale at the hotel.

Since its start, 7,000 Woo Cards have been activated by Worcester college students. With its expansion to the general public, more circulation is

25 points earns the member free admission to a cultural venue, 50 points means two complimentary tickets to a show at The Hanover Theatre, and 100 points means you have earned the Wow Woo Package, which includes admission or tickets to a cultural venue, a restaurant gift card, and transportation with hotel accommodation.

The original purpose of the card was to help introduce students to the cultural opportunities in the city by giving them special discounts and offers. The Higgins Armory is one of the participating venues that cater to students with the Woo Card. “It is a great thing for students to have,” says Michael Small, of Admissions and Education. If you show your Woo Card when visiting the museum, the admission fee is $5 instead of the general $10.

Top-Five Turkey Day Tilts What would Thanksgiving Day be if we didn’t at least speculate on a few hometown rivalries?

Josh Farnsworth #5 Fitchburg @ Leominster The 127th installment of this rivalry does not field perennial juggernaut Super Bowl contenders. The Blue Devils have struggled this season with a brutal schedule. Fitchburg has a strong hold on a play-off invite, but failed to beat the upper tier D1 teams On Turkey Day, none of it matters.

Fitchburg vs. Leominster exudes an environment few scholastic games can replicate. How close are the two teams?

This year, Leominster has a shot to tie the series at 59-59-9. Forget the county; for my money it is the greatest highschool football rivalry in the country. #4 Blackstone Valley Tech @ Nipmuc The Battle for Pleasant Street.

These two schools – located literally right across the street from each other – may have a nice little rivalry on their hands. Both teams will enter Thursday with play-off aspirations.

The Indians will test the Beaver secondary with quarterback Mike Smith – one of the most proficient throwers in Central Mass. Valley Tech’s balanced attack includes quarterback Dan Avery and a multiback running game with Julian Picard, Craig Gosselin, Matt Gendron and Pat Durkin.

Don’t sleep on this blossoming rivalry. #3 Shrewsbury @ Milford No game has more play-off impact on the line than this.

The Hawks are currently No. 7 in the Division 1 play-off standings (eight teams make the play offs), while

Shrewsbury is currently on the outside looking in. A win, however, should vault the Colonials into the postseason and will force Milford to get help elsewhere.

Milford must contain the play-making abilities of Kristian Jackson and senior Alex Paulina. If the latter can replicate

his 2009 performance on offense, defense and special teams, it may be a long day for the Hawks. #2 Holy Name @ Wachusett Last year’s gritty 10-8 win for Wachusett has Holy Name thinking continued on page 7

expected. Within the first nine months of 2010 since offered to the masses, 1,000 public Woo Cards have been purchased.

“We are thrilled with the response to the cards to date,” explains Erin Williams, Worcester’s cultural development officer and executive director of the Worcester Cultural Coalition. “With the addition of new WOO venues, we expect many more people to Woo in Worcester County.”

The Woo Card is now open to college students and the general public. Cards can be purchased for $20, and are available at the box offices of The Hanover Theatre and the DCU Center, the Office of the City Clerk on the second floor of Worcester City Hall, 455 Main Street, at the Worcester County Convention & Visitors Bureau on Prescott Street, or online at woocard.org.

The card was designed by the Worcester Cultural Coalition and is funded in part by the Adams Arts Program of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Fred Harris Daniels Foundation, the Worcester Cultural Coalition, and the Colleges of Worcester Consortium.

revenge. This may be a preview of the Division 1A title game, but see it here firsthand.

The Mountaineer ball control offense will be put to the test by a Naps defense that has only yielded 93 points all season – tops in Division 1. Holy Name’s offense vs. Wachusett’s defense, however, will truly dictate who gets the upper hand.

If possible, expect the 2010 edition of this game to be even closer.

#1 David Prouty @ Leicester Division 2 has captivated football audiences this season. While Auburn’s record-breaking winning streak garnered much of the acclaim, David Prouty and Leicester have built two of the best teams in all of Central Mass, combining for a 19-1 record.

The game will feature super-backs in Wolverine Trevor Choruzek and Panther Zach Grasis behind a pair of offensive lines that have dictated tempo for most of the season. Thus, each team’s front seven must get the necessary push and tackle efficiently to slow the two offenses.

Winner here has the inside track to facing Auburn in the Division 2 Super Bowl.

Wishing you a Happy & Safe Thanksgiving!

Bring good { worcesteria } fortune to someone with our original hand-thrown money pots, a tradition for more than 2000 years in Italy.

Tradition has it, that once the first coin is dropped in the pot, it must be fed until full — upon which time it must be smashed while making a wish. It is customary to replace the pot and spend the money on “good things.”

The pots are felt to bring good fortune.

Terramundi pots come with a fortune coin and card and “smashing” instructions so it might be used for another purpose. These pots are handthrown in Italy, painted in London and personalized by us (if you so wish).

THE ELECTION STARTS NOW: Still digesting the midterm elections? Listen here: it’s time to move on. One, because we’re sick of your gloating or moping, but more importantly because there’s another one coming up in less than a year, and our first new challenger has gone public. On November 30, local realtor and Worcester Citizens for Business buddy Tony Economou will kick off his campaign for the district 1 city council seat with a party at Coral Seafood, according to an e-mail sent out (not to the press) by Beth Proko, a member of the group interested in evening out the dual tax rate. Joff Smith currently represents district 1…According to a member on the mailing list, the group was eyeing two districts for candidates, so another announcement may be on its way.

PERFECT TIMING: Economou’s announcement comes at the perfect time. At Tuesday’s city-council meeting (which, due to Worcester Mag’s early press day this week came after we went to press) Konnie Lukes filed a report with city manager Michael O’Brien asking for the date that the 2011 tax rates will be voted on, and what rates would “maintain the same outof-pocket payments based upon the current tax rates for commercial and residential property owners.”

I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUAL:

Setting the dual tax rate is certainly one of the least welcome times of the year for city councilors, and almost all of them criticize the uneven share of the tax burden between business and residents. Business owners and those involved in the Worcester Citizens for Business hope to get their points across early, arguing that the dual tax rate chokes economic development out of the city, by getting to the councilors before the meeting where the rate is voted on. “In the past the businesses have been criticized for weighing in only during this meeting,” wrote Canal District Business Association head John Giangregorio to Proko. “What should we be doing now to influence the managers’ recommendations and councils’ vote?”

McCARTHY-ISM: Former city-council candidate William McCarthy got some love in the Boston news cycle last week, featured prominently in articles both in the Globe and the Herald. Of course, that’s what happens when you call for the resignation of the chair of the MassGOP at a state committee meeting. McCarthy, acting with the backing of a number of attendees, vocalized disappointment with chairwoman Jennifer Nassour after the party’s dismal showing in the upper-ticket races on November 2. His claim is that if she takes credit for Scott Brown’s victory last January, and the number of state delegation seats picked up two weeks ago, then she should take the blame for the failed strategy that saw much of the committee’s money funneled into the governor’s race, leaving little for regional and congressional races. McCarthy’s motion was ruled out of order, but it’s something he says he’ll continue to pursue.

VOTER FRAUD: Allegations of voter fraud in connection with the presence of the group Neighbor to Neighbor in Worcester on election day have finally been formalized and brought to the Election Commission (to be passed on to Secretary of State William Galvin’s office). That took long enough. Election day hadn’t even ended yet when local poll workers – mainly affiliated with Republican candidates, MassGOP or right-leaning blogs – started to make noise about translators entering a voting booth with Spanish-speaking residents (despite the ballot already translated into Spanish) and “helpers” showing certain voters exactly how to vote. There was even a mention that lawyers from the Charlie Baker campaign were in Worcester, traveling between precincts. Worcester Mag took those initial reports seriously and contacted both the Baker campaign and the MassGOP on election day for verification, but neither group ever got back to us. It’ll be interesting to read the final report submitted to Galvin’s office and see if the names attached to it are higher ups from the state GOP committee.

Letters Rhythmic Re-inventions This was a brilliant article [“Rhythmic Re-inventions,” Worcester Mag, Nov.18, 2010]. Sometimes I find the art reviews in Worcester Magazine lacking or overwrought, but I feel that the new arts writer has struck a good cord. The art historical references that were used are valid and not aggrandizing the artist in a way that seems forced or artificial, and also gives the reader a sense that the writer is not just trying to show they have read Gardner’s Art Through the Ages.

My only complaint, which is not about this article specifically, is that there is very little criticism in most of the reviews featured in

Worcester Magazine. Maybe offering construction criticism goes against the Editorial policy at the Magazine, or is not the intention of the articles or agenda for publishing them, or maybe the writers at WoMag are not versed enough in Art Criticism and Theory to offer deeper insight? Either way, it is something I would like to see in future art reviews. With that said, I applaud the new writer and look forward to reading more from him.

EOPLE STREET ON T HE

The Rosen

Report

What’s your Thanksgiving tradition?

Worcester is no turkey of a city Gary Rosen

O

n those few occasions when Providence's population edges past that of Worcester, I knowingly fib and continue to brag that Worcester is the second- largest city in New England. I am proud to live here and not just during this holiday season of thanks, hope and being with family and friends.

As a former elected city official and present WoMag columnist, I'm expected to observe and comment on Worcester's challenges, shortcomings and faults. But contrary to the belief of some Worcester city councilors, I remain a Worcester cheerleader.

I can love Worcester and still believe that no Christmas tree would be better than our fake, conical and comical, $16,000 artificial “holiday� tree. And I should question why Worcester Common’s performance oval remains iceless for another winter while individuals, families and visitors enjoy skating on Boston Common’s Frog Pond.

I’m right to become irritated when the city council bans street vendors from bringing life and activity to downtown or moves to deny businesses and homeowners the right to display appropriate commercial and political signs.

I should also be unsympathetic to bus drivers and teachers who refuse their employers’ generous offers to pay 75 percent of their health-insurance

costs. And why should city teachers be threatened with job losses while the Durkin School Administration building conceals too many high-paid administrators and staff?

But all those issues are insignificant compared to the many blessings, selfless heroes and agencies that make this city such a wonderful place to live.

Gordon Hargrove, the executive director of Friendly House, doesn't have a selfserving bone in his body. For decades he and Friendly House's staff have provided tens of thousands of low-income inner-city youth and families with food, clothing, shelter, activities and hope—and not just during the holiday season.

Cecile Mason founded Operation Ranger Rosary three years ago to provide support, inspiration and prayer to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. On top of the thousands of handmade rosaries already produced and forwarded, this group of volunteers is planning to produce a handmade item of gratitude that will help to keep our Jewish troops safe.

Dr. Leonard Morse is retiring as the commissioner of what’s left of the Worcester Department of Public Health. Dr. Morse is a brilliant and dedicated public employee who has worked tirelessly to promote social, economic and environmental factors fundamental to excellent health. His foresight led to Operation Yellow Box allowing the collection and disposal of hundreds of gallons of used needles and

AS K E D O N M A I N ST R E E T

syringes.

Meet with the family, sit down, have some food and give thanks to God for what he has done for us.

Amy Vogel Waters, the director of the amazing Worcester Senior Center on Vernon Hill, leads a small staff and some dedicated volunteers at a facility which is a lifeline for many of our city's seniors, their families and caregivers. The center's many multicultural, educational and recreational activities and classes continue to improve the quality of life of so many of the people who made Worcester the thriving manufacturing and retail city it once was.

Jeff Barnard, the creator of the popular local blog, “Wormtown Taxi,� is bedridden and, with candor and courage, is chronicling his fight against cancer. Jeff’s insight and comments over the years on everything Worcester have inspired me and several of his other readers to voice our opinions through blogs, newspaper columns, radio and TV shows. Jeff’s November 19 blog entry to his wife, “I love you, Kathy. I will always love you..

You are my angel,� shows why Mayor Joe O'Brien and City Councilor Rick Rushton recently represented all of us in presenting our favorite blogger with a key to his city.

There are thousands of other individuals and agencies whose efforts make Worcester the real “heart� of the Commonwealth. Genuine role models and local heroes for our children and grandchildren, they're one of the best reasons to live in Worcester.

MINDING THE CRUSADERS Tensions spill down College Hill Jeremy Shulkin

It’s around 1:15 a.m. on a Sunday morning in November and a student wearing a blazer and a pair of Sperry’s boat shoes is sitting on the front lawn of a house on College Street.

“If you want to go to a party, there’s one right there,” he says, pointing to an adjacent three decker. “But it’s pretty small. Only, like, 10 or so people in there.”

That’s the norm for tonight. Up and down College, Caro, Boyden and Clay streets there are certainly parties going on, but you wouldn’t know it from the (lack of) noise. This is hardly the Holy Cross that’s been in the news of late.

An unmarked police car drives by, window rolled down. The officer stares as he passes, and parks down the street.

This is the fourth police car in a one-block radius.

“It’s a bad weekend for parties,” the student laments. “Wish I could help you out more.”

In a year marked by divisive city council debates regarding divesting from Arizona and a pit bull ordinance, railing against Holy Cross has been something of a safe, unifying topic for officials.

Last week students on Caro Street created their own unique game of Spin Art by dumping a bucket of paint in the middle of the road for the tire tread of passing cars to spread. This, added to reports of public urination, hundreds of students in the streets late at night and vandalism – some witnessed by council members – has brought “conversation” about Holy Cross to a tipping point.

In the days since, a number of letters have been written between city and college officials, and made public.

“We, the members of the Worcester City Council, are frustrated and disappointed by the repeated examples of poor behavior by some students who attend the College

of the Holy Cross,” began a letter signed by all members of the city council and delivered to Father McFarland on November 15. “We write this letter to you to reinforce our support for City Manager O’Brien’s efforts to engage you personally and ask for your leadership to change the long-standing culture of disrespecting the neighborhoods of Mount Saint James,” it continued.

In turn, McFarland’s response arrived via his own letterhead.

“I want to assure you that your concerns have been heard and the College takes them very seriously. There have been some setbacks, but we are addressing them with both immediate actions and sustainable change,” he wrote.

McFarland spoke more bluntly in a mass e-mail sent to the Holy Cross student body the next day, hitting tones of an “us vs. them” mentality, while also criticizing the behavior that has gotten the school into trouble.

“As you know, the College has been the subject of negative, even hurtful, reports in the media and some public arenas in recent days. The coverage and comments have included personal criticism of me, as well as the College and its students,” McFarland wrote.

“I regret the escalation of the public criticism; we are doing our very best to mitigate it. However, it is a reflection of a serious problem that has been festering for a long time and has finally erupted into full public view.

“This is our problem, not someone else’s; and we must take responsibility for it and address it. Nothing is to be gained by whining – either about the unfair things being said or written about us, or about the changes that will be necessary.

As long as there is rude and disruptive behavior in the neighborhood, people will see it as a representative of who you are what Holy Cross stands for.”

This explains the slow weekend.

“Students responded very well to (the letter), I think,” says Kevin Leggio, a senior and co-president of the Student Government Association (SGA).

Another senior, Caitlin Murdock, who was appointed by the SGA to be the group’s director of community relations, has called the last two weekends “quiet.”

“Since last week, students weren’t so

much upset about the attacks on the students, but on the Father,” she says.

“It’s always a valid concern about noise and trash on Caro Street, but what’s being reported is overblown.”

There are plenty of scapegoats and enough finger-pointing to go around, even if no one wants to speak publicly. A number of sources contacted for this story did not want to comment directly about Holy Cross, for fear of straining relations even further. Many did not return phone calls.

The most notable public criticism has come from City Manager Michael O’Brien, one who will rarely use the council floor as a bully pulpit against anyone his administration works with. O’Brien called out Father McFarland for not doing enough to stop the late-night disruption of College Hill residents. But last week even he, citing improving talks between himself and the Holy Cross administration, cut off councilors from talking about the issue.

The pressure has led some to wonder if PILOT payments from Holy Cross would cause the spotlight to fade. The city currently has payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) agreements with Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Clark, under which the schools make goodwill donations to city services to replace the property taxes they are exempt from.

McFarland acknowledges that PILOT is in the background, but the school is focusing on solving the neighborhood issues.

Others like to point to the student body, stereotyping the 2,900 post-teens as “spoiled richies” who care nothing about Worcester. Put them four-to-a-floor in three deckers that have been scooped up over the years by absentee landlords, and there’s the combination of a house with no rules and little consequence.

On the flipside, others say the residents on the hill should have expected this when they moved to a neighborhood in a college area. After all, no one who lives there predates the school.

There’s also the law-enforcement aspect Holy Cross campus police have

no jurisdiction off campus (where the problems are happening), and the Worcester Police Department, while boosting their presence on the hill over the past few weekends, have bigger issues to deal with in other parts of the city.

On this Sunday morning, between the hours of 1:30 and 3 a.m. police dispatchers sent officers to loud parties in Green Island and to Water Street for reports of fighting and suspicious activity, but no mention of Holy Cross or any streets on College Hill came across the scanner during whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been reported as the rowdiest hours as students leave parties and flood the streets. The WPD were unable to be reached for comment.

No one should suggest that Holy Cross students are the only ones in the city who party loudly. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an issue that all schools tackle. But other local colleges in the middle of neighborhoods have tailored their security response accordingly.

Becker College police chief David Bousquet says his team works with the WPI police and Worcester Police Department, and all three units patrol the Elm Park neighborhood at night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a deterrent no matter what cruiser they see,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Becker Police respond to off-campus parties if the WPD calls them there. He says thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a tendency to arrive at a loud house early in the night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When police visit once, (the students) know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come back.â&#x20AC;?

His department also works with school administrators to put pressure on loud households who may be affiliated with a club or sports team.

At Clark, a focus on helping the neighborhood and curbing loud and disorderly conduct started about 18 years ago, according to vice president of government, community affairs and campus services Jack Foley, along with chief of Clark Police Stephen Goulet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done is build a relationship with the WPD,â&#x20AC;? says Foley, who adds that on weekends a Worcester officer on detail is paired with a Clark police officer, mixing a knowledge of the area with off-campus jurisdiction.

Goulet adds the WPD does provide additional police presence throughout the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blossomed into something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud of,â&#x20AC;? says Goulet, who calls it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;proactive planâ&#x20AC;? that has gotten his team and the WPD into the neighborhood. The goal, he says, is to find middle ground between allowing students to â&#x20AC;&#x153;have their weekends,â&#x20AC;? while at the same time not

disrupting the sleep patterns of their neighbors.

To help with this, Goulet enlisted students to help write up guidelines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;off-campus expectationsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to help keep partying at a responsible level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It told students what you can do to have friends over and have a good time without getting out of control,â&#x20AC;? says Laura Faulkner, a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student at Clark who was elected as off-campus representative by the student body during her senior year. She and Goulet worked together to create these guidelines.

These guidelines offer advice on everything from how to keep a party under control and keep the police from tagging it as a concern (keep your numbers low, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let groups congregate out front), to what to do if the police do show up. (Hint: turning off the lights and pretending no one is home is never a good idea.)

Some of it is common-sense stuff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let your party get to the point where you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming into your home,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Foley and Goulet voluntarily offer that they have off-campus issues that any other school would have. But they add that Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proactive approach does help.

Goulet says he visits notorious party

{ coverstory } houses the day after a party warning the host about liability issues, noting that people are much more rational and calm the morning after, rather than drunk at 2 a.m.

All three balk at the idea that the issues at Holy Cross are amplified because neighbors in that area are more apt to complain to the school and police than those in Main South.

“I’ve never seen a more involved neighborhood,” says Goulet.

“No one in this neighborhood is shy,” says Foley, who reiterates that the neighborhood around Clark has changed, and a number of families live there now, particularly on Shirley and Beaver Streets.

“When you move off campus, you see there’s a family near you,” says Faulkner, who mentions that while living on Shirley Street last year, every morning a bus would pull up to the three decker next door and pick up a child for school.

According to Bob Hart, Holy Cross’ director of public safety, the school doesn’t pair their own officers with members from the WPD. Instead, Holy Cross assigns a “liaison officer” to communicate with the paid WPD detail the school hires on weekends to patrol the entire College Hill area, a practice that started last year. Holy Cross officers do not go off campus, unless they are to meet

Housing court has also The kids are listening to what the college stepped up its rulings, taking to task at

least one notable landlord in the College Hill area for running a lodging house illegally.

There’s also been mention of a “plan” that O’Brien and McFarland have been working on that McFarland says would improve communication between the school and city, allow for more consistent enforcement of rules and create more oncampus incentives. McFarland says there hasn’t been an agreement on it yet, but one could come as soon as this week.

Since June of 2008, District Attorney Joe Early, Jr.’s office has a program for underage partying.

Called a “diversion program,” first-time offending 17 to 20 year olds charged with minor infractions involving alcohol or disturbing the peace can voluntarily work eight hours of manual-labor community service, go through an online educational program (with accompanying exam) and pay a $100 court-cost fee. In return, the offender’s arraignment is dropped and no charges appear on their record.

According to DA spokesman Tim Connolly, in a year and a half, 715 people have gone through the diversion program, with 600 completing it. The office does not break the numbers down by school.

“There have been students from Holy Cross,” he says, “but other schools are represented as well.”

“Continuing & Career Education at Assumption College was the best transfer school for me!”

“After attending Fitchburg State and QCC, I transferred 72 credits into Assumption's Bachelor in Social Sciences program. I found that Assumption was a better value than the other 4-year college I considered.”

–Derly Benitez Bachelor’s Degree in Social Sciences candidate, Assumption College

{ coverstory } The program infuriates those of the “arrest ’em all and let their parents sort ’em out” mentality. These second chances, they argue, simply give loud students a literal get-out-of-jail-free card.

Rumors have circulated through the Holy Cross student body and College Hill residents that police aren’t finding arrestable offenses.

“I would differ with that,” says Hart.

But he praises Early’s diversion program, suggesting that education has more impact on correcting behavior.

Connelly says there are no statistics on how many of those who go through the diversion program repeat a similar offense, but the DA’s office has received positive feedback from those thankful for the program.

“The DA was interested in the program because he wanted to have young defendants think about their options,” says Connolly, who notes that this program has increased accountability.

Before, offender’s parents would just pay fines over and over again. Now students have to work those charges off.

“Parents aren’t buying (their children) out of trouble.”

Other changes are occurring on campus, and now there’s a concentrated effort to keep of-age students on campus, and all students away from alcohol off campus.

Leggio and Murdoch say the student government has high hopes for the campus center, and the move to make it more of a “student center.” The pub in the building has been redone, and games have been added. The problem is the limited hours of operation— presently it’s only open on Tuesday and Friday nights, and only until 12:30 a.m. – something they’re working on expanding.

There’s also hope that the new dorm, on schedule to open 400 oncampus beds in an apartment-style housing next fall, will keep students from leaving campus. McFarland says the school is already seeing anecdotal evidence of this, saying that a number of juniors opted to stay on campus this year specifically so they could enter the housing lottery for a shot at living in the new the dorm in 2011-2012.

Despite the harsh words, the question remains: Is College Hill improving?

To the untrained eye, recent weekends have been quieter. But residents say despite recent goodwill gestures by the school and community, not much has changed.

{ coverstory } spoke with a Worcester Mag reporter after a recent city council meeting (but didn’t return a follow-up phone call) argues that there has been improvement.

“It’s like we’ve taken 20 steps forward (since 2008), and three or four steps back,” she said. “But everyone’s focusing on those three or four.”

Despite all the players involved—the school president, the city administration, various police forces, landlords—the onus is starting to move onto the students.

McFarland wrote as much in his letter to the student body, and residents on the hill seem to agree.

“It has to come from the students,” says Chiras. “If this is going to finally end it has to come from the students.”

But McFarland, channeling the paternal tone woven into his letter to the student body, warns of putting too much pressure on the school. In his eyes, the city only hurts itself. Students don’t stay because they resent the city, and he points out that the Princeton Review ranks Worcester high in town/gown issues, a bad image for the city.

“It’s short-sighted to make Holy Cross the enemy in all of this; to demonize the students,” he says.

Need Wood Pellets?

Students Caitlin Murdoch and Kevin Leggio stand in front of Holy Cross’ new dorm, still under construction.

Hill Civic Association, says the wave of partying has gradually moved up the hill. Once relegated to Caro, College and Boyden streets, now places like Kendig, City View and Dutton host 50 to 100 partiers on a given weekend night. (Chiras says he always gives the low number when estimating the size of a party.)

Chiras tries to focus on the positive— students attending Civic Association meetings, the city’s inspectional services busting absentee landlords, for example— but even he has trouble hiding his frustration when talking about the average weekend night.

“We do this every year. When they become seniors, they become very concerned,” he says. But he adds that by

then it’s too late. They’re gone the next year and the new crop who replace them are just as rowdy.

Landlords draw Chiras’ ire more than anyone involved though. He tells stories of homes on the upper part of College Hill that landlords lay in wait for. He shows one house where the owner left for a rest home and a notable absentee landlord swooped in and bought it before it even went to market.

Some neighbors are now afraid to complain, their names or identities leaked out to students as they stream out of a busted up party at 2 a.m., drunk and peeved that their night came to an end.

But not everyone is as critical of the school. One resident on College Street who

Culture captured on canvas Paul Grignon

Vividly portrayed in oil, you will find an intimate selection of paintings tracing the cultural heritage of Worcester in JoEllen Reinhardt’s latest showing, “Connecting to the Past.” In this exhibit at Worcester’s Sprinkler Factory, one can witness paintings that depict the wealth of industry found in this city’s rich history.

Within the sprawling complex of the Sprinkler Factory, located at 38 Harlow Street, resides Reinhardt’s impressive garret. “The Atelier,” as she calls it, contains a veritable trove of her varied talents.

“The lighting in my space is spectacular and perfect for painting”, she says, pointing to the three 8-foot northern-facing windows.

Along with her paintings, Reinhardt displays a myriad of other work, including superb charcoal drawings, one that garnered the Graphic Artist Honors Award from the Academic Artists Association. Reinhardt was awarded a grant from the Worcester Cultural Commission for her idea of incorporating historical references into her paintings. Each canvas illuminates a particular economic aspect of Worcester’s past. “I really enjoyed meeting some fascinating people and learning interesting facts about the city,” Reinhardt recalls.

The signature piece, titled “My Secret Valentine,” refers to a valentine company that originated here in 1847.

Reinhardt’s own dog, Myles, is her model and, using a limited palette of only four colors, she captures a poignant and tranquil moment. Myles, lying comfortably on the Duncan Phyfe sofa, stares lovingly at his master. Whimsically, the dog holds a valentine while a barely perceptible box of half-finished chocolates sits in shadow below. Within this framework Reinhardt includes a muted still life, a combination of elements that evokes a most pleasing repose.

In another fascinating painting, “Remembering the Monument Men,” Reinhardt comments upon these intrepid individuals of World War ll. One hundred men were chosen to scour Europe and retrieve art work stolen during the Nazi occupation.

Here, Reinhardt depicts Worcester Art Museum’s current director, Jim Welu, as her subject. The background contains a remarkable monochromatic painting of a Vermeer, one of the works recovered from a mine. Mr. Welu represents one of the four men out of the 100 that became directors of the museum. Reinhardt displays a virtuosic approach, as influences of both Sargent and Rembrandt are apparent. She seamlessly combines past and present with the interplay of foreground and background, manifested by Vermeer’s signature lighting effect.

Another portrait, “The Corset,” is an alluring blend of sensuality and erotica, as a self-assured woman gazes fixedly at the viewer, bedecked only in a luxuriously tailored royal purple corset, a far cry from the products made by the Royal Worcester Corset Company in 1861. The come-hither stare and the expanse of exquisitely rendered flesh and fabric make for a compelling mix of history with the modern.

Two still lifes provide a nice contrast and exemplify Reinhardt’s mastery of the medium, combining simple objects with deftness and certainty, embodying the quietude found in a Chardin. “Piano Strings” is a tribute to the Washburn Company that was located on Grove Street.

“Sprinkler Heads on an Artist’s Palette” is a nod to the Rockwood Sprinkler Company that was located in the same building on Harlow Street. In both paintings, and with limited pigments, Reinhardt displays her talent for translating sundry surfaces. Unified and harmonious, the compositions epitomize tonal balance, uncluttered and free from superfluous details.

Reinhardt is also a fine watercolorist and her work is represented by Gallery Antonia in Chatham. For more information, contact her directly at joellenreinhardt.com Reinhardt’s show, “Connecting to the Past,” will run from November 20 through December 20. Open for viewing Thursday and Friday, 10-2 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 1-4 p.m. The Opening Reception will be on December 4 from 5-8 p.m. at the Atelier at the Sprinkler Factory, located at 38 Harlow Street, Worcester.

Her show will be in conjunction with the Sprinkler Factory Artists’ show “No Theme – No Limits.”

The Remarkable Mr. Golub

Joe Mogel

Trial attorney, novelist and Worcester native Aaron Richard Golub lives an interesting life, one that hovers on the edge of what would be fantasy for most of us—one similar to those of nonfiction characters whose stories play out across the pages of the most interesting books. Considering his line of work, you might think “conventional” and maybe even a little “boring.”

His life, however, is anything but.

When a musician made a video poking fun at lawyers, he countered and made a music video making fun of musicians. The music video for the song, called He is my

Lawyer, was filmed in front of New York’s Surrogate Court. He is my Lawyer was his first music video, but not his last. His second video stared himself and his Sikh butler, Mr. K. “The shoot was at Sing Sing prison,” Mr. Golub recalls. “The video was called Dancing for Justice. I wore a white suit and top hat.”

Born in 1942 in Worcester to grocerystore owners Charles and Esther, Richard Golub earned his undergraduate degree from Clark in 1964 then went on to University of North Carolina, where he received his law degree in 1967. He still travels from his New York residence to his hometown twice a year. Most recently he gave a talk at Clark about his autobiographically inspired novel, Feisengrad.

As an active New York trial attorney, specializing in entertainment and business, Golub continues to make quite a name for himself. Commentating for the Michael Skakel trial or his court dealings

with Martin Scorsese, Donald Trump, Andy Warhol or Sharon Stone would be enough to make him famous. But it’s his life that catches the most attention.

From affairs with former clients and writing novels to his music videos and writing/producing the 2006 major motion picture Factory Girl, Golub lives his fantasies. For proof of this, consider his best-known servant, his intrepid butler, the phrase-savvy Mr. K. I asked Golub why he hired Mr. K. “I watched all these movies from the fifties when I was growing up, where the lead had a quirky manservant, and I wanted to have what they had,” he answers.

Aside from quirky employees and his film-worthy court cases, Golub is also known as an author. The first novel he published, The Big Cut, was a national best seller in 2000. The courtroom thriller is based in large part on his personal experiences.

“Court is boring,” Golub sighs. “Rather than write notes in between sessions, I’d write plots and characters. So I’d fill those yellow legal pads with scribbles that turned into the novel.”

What writers influenced him?

“Kafka, Thomas Mann, Roald Dahl,” Golub intones. “I loved Catcher in the Rye. But the thing to remember is that you’ll never be the writers you admire, you need to use them as guideposts for your own work. I mean, you’ll never be a Shakespeare.”

Golub says his childhood in Worcester influenced his writing. “Your childhood stays with you. The philosophy transitions as you go through life, but your actions still reflect your life. So much of my childhood is in this book (Feisengrad)… it’s from when I lived in Worcester.”

Feisengard follows a fellow named Plausible Feisengard in a Worcesterinspired world called the Z, which is ruled by arbitrary laws and baseball umpires.

This novel is actually Golub’s first. He wrote it in 1975-76; and revised it in the 90’s. The book was not published until this year due to Golub’s relentless rewriting.

Speaking of writing, any advice for aspiring writers?

“To write about characters, you have to be a character.”

{ 320}

Soul Kitchen will be shown at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, and 1 and 3 p.m., Sunday, in the Jefferson Academic Center at Clark University as part of the Cinema 320 film series.

There is no show on Thanksgiving evening.

Dining with the Soul proprietor Give Cinema 320 guru Steve Sandberg credit for putting Soul Kitchen on the menu during Thanksgiving week.

This is, after all, the time of year when our national obsession with all things edible, not to mention social, shifts into hyperdrive.

The German screwball comedy set in Hamburg (of course) celebrates not just the food that is served at the neighborhood restaurant called Soul Kitchen, but also the collection of eccentrics who cook it, eat it and toss it around once in a while. It’s a slice of fun — frothy, overstuffed, sexy, a holiday of sorts from some of 320’s more somber offerings this season.

Zinos, a Greek émigré, owns Soul Kitchen, where he manages a living by filling up his customers with pub grub: burgers, fries, fish sandwiches, pizza. One night while joining a family dinner in an upscale restaurant, Zinos witnesses the temperamental head chef, Shayne, get fired after he refuses to heat up a patron’s gazpacho and then spears the table with a carving knife to emphasize the point that gazpacho is meant to be served cold. On his way out the door, Shayne berates the management as “culinary racists” (shades of the purist Italian chef played by Tony Shalhoub in Big Night accusing ItalianAmerican restaurants of committing rape in their kitchens).

Zinos recruits Shayne on the spot to dress up the Soul Kitchen menu, an impulsive move that could further muck up his already mucked-up life. His girlfriend is moving to Shanghai to take a reporter’s job, his convict brother is supposed to be doing his work-release service at the restaurant but spends most of his time playing poker, and Zinos is limping around with a herniated disc that, because he lacks health insurance, forces him to seek alternative treatment from a therapist-cum-torturer known as the Turk.

Soul Kitchen involves Zinos juggling so many glass balls in the air that it’s hardly a surprise when they start shattering. Adam Bousdoukos, as Zinos, does the harried-guy thing really well, pinballing between outrage, bemusement and outright confusion. (Not sure if this is intentional, but he’s also a look-alike for Jim Morrison, who sang “Soul Kitchen” with The Doors.)

Director/co-writer Fatih Akin is intent on cramming as much silliness as he can into 99 minutes, which means some elements get the slapdash treatment. I wish he’d engaged the Shayne character more, especially his work in the kitchen — his transformative cuisine is at first shunned by the clientele, then suddenly embraced with no explanation for the turnaround. Zinos’ potentially romantic relationship with a pretty physiotherapist also feels underdeveloped, not quite earning its payoff.

Otherwise, Soul Kitchen is a seasonal treat — not a full-on feast, but a nice, light confection. No bib necessary.

The Rock solidly defies expectations Faster Grade: B + David Wildman

It was Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry who is famous for uttering: “A man’s got to know his limitations,” and he lived by those words for the early part of his career, always seeming to find just the right role for his limited but nonetheless potent acting skills. When I first saw the previews for Faster, I feared Dwayne formerly “The Rock” Johnson, might not have been following Eastwood’s wise advice. After years of playing silly, self-parodying characters it seemed the former wrestler was going try for actual dramatic intensity.

And so with my expectations set as low as possible I have to say I was pleasantly surprised to find that this fastmoving, smartly plotted and unexpectedly enjoyable paean to Kill Bill actually proves an appropriate fit for the man’s, uh, talents.

It certainly doesn’t hurt that Johnson’s beefy, laconic presence is balanced by the always dependable Billy Bob Thornton, who manages to combine charm and malice with his despicable, scraggled, smarmy yet somehow likeable heroinaddicted failed father of a detective (known only as “Cop”). Actually, most of the cast is effective, and it’s mainly because they seem to be having fun with their quirk-filled, near comic-book roles, crafted with unabashed Tarantino worship by scriptwriting brothers (and producers) Tony and Joe Gayton, and with the whole heavily-stylized thing complete with rocking soundtrack, Dutch camera angles and the occasional dark humor kept moving at an exhilarating pace by director George Tillman Jr. Johnson plays an unrepentant rippling-muscled murderer that gets out of prison and immediately starts gunning people down. At first he just seems like a mindless killing machine, known only as “Driver”, but we soon learn his motivation: his brother had been offed by a mysterious group of

kidnappers, just after the two had been involved in a successful bank robbery, with Johnson at the wheel of the getaway car. Surviving a shot in the head, he’s out of the can and off on a do-or-die mission of vengeance to wipe out those

that did his brother in. He speaks rarely, which is a plus. Also, while Johnson may look imposing physically, it is impossible to take him seriously as a tough guy, especially after the unfortunate tutu incident in Tooth Fairy. The script wisely takes this limitation and works it into the plot, revealing vulnerabilities through situations rather than dialog as the film progresses, like the way he constantly listens to a soulful preacher on the radio while racing across the desert, raising thematic issues of punishment and redemption and evoking vague images of Barry Newman and Cleavon Little in Vanishing Point.

Meanwhile, Thornton – along with a tough female cop (Carla Gugino) – is investigating the crime scenes that Dwayne leaves behind, and he and his partner are slowly putting together the real story behind all the carnage. Thing is, nobody is really what they seem to be in this film, which serves to effectively keep the viewer off balance throughout.

There’s another wrinkle: Oliver Jackson-Cohen, known only as “Killer” and one of the most incongruous and the least plausible of the plot’s personnel.

He’s a strikingly handsome, vain British professional hitman hired to take down Driver. A ridiculously sensitive soul, the dude has commitment problems with his hot girlfriend (Maggie Grace, vapid as ever) which he discusses with his therapist over a headset while getting ready to blow someone’s brains out.

Eventually all of the threads of the story come together and the biggest surprises are left for the end. The film does give you enough clues that you will likely have most of it figured out before the characters do, but instead of that making it less fun, it leaves you feeling smart, which is an unexpected bonus in a born B flick that defies expectation at every turn.

A shiny gem close to home Kendra Lapin

One of the perks of reviewing restaurants is finding hidden gems that you never knew existed so close to home.

Weagle Family Dining is one of those places. The fare is standard diner comfort food, at about diner prices, with a few specialty surprises baked and mixed in.

The first is community. On an early Sunday afternoon, most of the little restaurant, attached to the back of a convenience store, was packed with elder church-goers, youths in trendy clothes and athletic gear, a collection of costumed gamers, and bunches of less-descript people, all getting along within a few feet of each other. On the left wall as we walked in was a challenge to eat the 12-

egg, meat-lovers omelet served with hash browns or home fries and toast. Upon completing the challenge, the winner could throw a dart and potentially win $100 cash, along with other prizes based on where it landed. Previous winners had their photos displayed below the dartboard. Another wall highlights community achievements from runs to service to team stats. The restaurant supports a strong community.

My husband and I were invited to sit wherever we liked, so we chose a corner booth surrounded by paintings of whimsical French and Italian chefs. Our drink order was taken right away, and the various servers made regular rounds with fresh coffee. While we did have one main waitress, anyone who passed us asked us how we were doing or refilled drinks or brought creamer upon request. Specials were on whiteboards, and the menu was a good size, reminding us that breakfast was served all day, every day.

I decided on the meatloaf-omelet special, while Scott chose from the extensive breakfast burrito menu. Rather than opting for a make-your-own, which allowed the patron to pick any combination of

meat, cheese, vegetable and sauce to go with the three scrambled eggs inside, he went with the “Jami Burrito.”

It was kielbasa, eggs, salsa, cheese, peppers and onions.

The burritos are also grilled with a nice crisp crust. Both breakfast selections came with a choice of home fries or hash browns and toast.

Both the pumpernickel and rye toast tasted freshly made and were packed with flavor.

The hash browns were on the bland side, but nothing a shot of hot sauce (brought right away by our waitress) and a little salt couldn’t fix. Scott was especially enamored with the kielbasa that came with his burrito. Besides the quality meat, the rest of the burrito was tasty, but didn’t stand out.

The meatloaf omelet was also good— though still enhanced with hot sauce. Two thin slices of meatloaf were surrounded by cheese and a nice, fluffy omelet. It was a meat-heavy loaf, so not a lot of bread or vegetal filler. The loaf did sport a yummy, caramelized crust that contrasted well

with the gooey cheese.

Portions were generous without being obscene, so we were full for most of the day without feeling compelled to leave leftovers.

Besides our more carnivorous plates, there were plenty of other classic breakfast options of pancakes, French toast, waffles, eggs, bacon, and so on. Sandwich and lunch specials were available to choose from, too, so just about anyone should find something to enjoy.

The prices were a little higher than most diners, but not much. Breakfast for both of us, including good coffee, was $18.73, and we really enjoyed our visit. The staff was excellent and even the fellow patrons were welcoming. If you’re looking for a comfortable, friendly place to have a really good breakfast or lunch, definitely stop by Weagle Family Dining.

With Jen Cantin

One huge dinner and small power nap later, and you’re ready to head out to the Third Annual Thanksgiving Night Massacre at The Lucky Dog with A Flock of Assholes and openers The Roadkill Orchestra on Thursday, November 25. Worcester’s 80’s cover heroes will be playing 21 new songs, never to have been flocked before, and The Orchestra is sure to pull out some theme-tastic tunes for the occasion.

Ed n Da Ve with T are more than just a jumble of letters on Friday, November 26 at Beatnik’s. Ed Savageau, Dave West and Tom Quitadamo have been friends for years and promise a laid back night of jamming and cracked open cold ones. The Nate Wilson Group is at Tammany Hall with their jams of the psychedelic variety reminiscent of Led Zeppelin and Cream. One look at the cover art of their full-length Unbound, and you know the guys will have you tripping pretty hard. The art of the riff is still alive and kicking with neo-classic rock flair. Hanover Theater has your more family-friendly entertainment covered from Friday, November 26 to Sunday, November 28 with The Nutcracker presented by Ballet Arts Worcester. The Massachusetts Symphony Orchestra will provide the music of this classic ballet and the Youth Ballet Company will provide the dazzling dance moves. The sights and sounds that are sure to induce the warm, fuzziness of the holidays getting you amped up for sledding and chasing mini-marshmallows around your mug of hot chocolate.

Hip Hop Till Ya Drop at The Palladium Upstairs onSaturday, November 27 with Ill E. Gal, Zombie Death Squad, Rucka, INFiNiTTi, 7HillClique and Native Assassin. Ill E. Gal’s name refers to her status as a female advocate of legalizing a certain substance, and judging by the fierceness of her music, if she were in charge of the whole thing, it’d be done by now. Zombie Death Squad is clear about their mission too, stating that “drugs, sex, anger and violence,” and nothing deeper nor more profound make up their agenda of “raw hip hop.” Put the show on your agenda for the weekend if you are serious about your hip hop.

The WANDAS (pictured), Ashland’s, Attic, The Royal We and more will be at Ralph’s. The headlining WANDAS’ pop-rock will make you feel good even about life’s more melancholy moments.

Sit Down Baby! brings the less familiar genre of juke joint music to the table at Gilrein’s.

“Juke joints were typically road house bars throughout the south during the early to middle 20th century,” says guitarist Mark Milloff. “They were typified by a rougher and more rural version of blues. Not as polished as Chicago style: closer to the country roots.” He says the group likes to “have fun and push limits” at live performances, which is often accomplished by Milloff forcing his band mates to play music they’ve never played before.

Some advertisers may require investment fees.

Under NO circumstances should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers.

HOME OF THE FREE, THANKS TO THE BRAVE

is a combination tribute for Veterans’ Day and Thanksgiving. We'd like to thank our readers for their response in sending in messages and photos of special veterans in their lives, whom we are very honored to recognize in the Central Mass Classifieds.

PFC ANDREW LALIBERTE, U.S. Army Andy is currently serving in Iraq as an Abrams Tank Maintainer in the First Infantry, “The Big Red One”. We are very proud of your service and pray daily for you and your fellow soldiers’ safety.

We love you, Mom, Dad, and Sara

SPC NEAL PAUL BAKERLIS U.S. Army, Combat Engineer Neal has served in the Army for 2 years, he is stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He recently completed a tour of Iraq. He graduated from Jump School at Fort Benning Georgia a few weeks ago. Neal is a 2007 graduate of Bay Path Vocational Technical High School, Charlton, MA. He grew up in Dudley, and lives in Worcester.

I love him very much and I am so proud of him!

Love, Mom (Julie Ugalde) Worcester, MA

PFC MICHAEL ANTHONY MARSINELLI, age 22. My son Michael is a soldier in the U.S. Army. He is currently serving over in Afghanistan. He has been enlisted since May 2009. He is the oldest of my three children with twin siblings, Ryan and Kayla, age 20.

Michael has always been a thinker, always thinking things out before acting on them. Michael Anthony, you are that shining star up in the sky that keeps us safe from where you are! For that you are truly “my hero!” Please come home safe!!

We miss and love you, Love Mom

MITCH, we are so proud of your history of 6 years of service in the Army. Charlotte and I love our “Daddy” soldier very much! Thank you for risking your life to keep it “the land of the free and the home of the brave.”

Cheers to you!

Love, Danielle, Charlotte & Jersey Ray xoxo

June 6, 1944 – D-Day – After over a year of training in Northern Ireland, The 8th Division of the 28th Regiment was approaching the bleak cost of Normandy, France to face the unknown. Joseph Hine, “Joe” of South Worcester and Saint Peter’s High School, jumped from the deck of the LCI and plunged into the churning, icy water in full combat gear to make his way onto Omaha Beach. Joe Hine marked on to spend the most bitter winter in history in the Ardennes Forest fighting in the Battle of the Bulge.

Thank you, Dad, for your courage, patriotism, and integrity in serving your country in WWII.

My father, Edwin Chadwick, 86, is a life-long Worcester resident and WWII veteran. He served in General Patton’s Third Army. He was a soldier in the 16th Calvary Squadron, with origins at Ft. Devens, MA. Overseas they were attached to Colonel Polk’s 316th Cavalry Brigade. They participated in Patton’s Third Army drive to end the resistance of Hitler’s army in the Palatinate region of Germany. After entering combat near Trier, the units engaged in reconnaissance missions up to and across the Rhine River at Mainz and then up the autobahn to Kassel. Let’s salute the Greatest Generation! Photo of Edwin Chadwick and wife, Helen.

Submitted by Robert Chadwick, Centreville, VA

PFC RYAN EDWARD MARSINELLI, age 20, current location California. My son Ryan is a United States Marine. He is my hero, no only for his commitment to his country, but for his big heart of gold. He has a smile that lights up a room. He is the middle of my three children. He has a twin sister, Kayla, and an older brother, Michael. He plans on being a state trooper someday. Ryan, I am so proud of all you have accomplished so far. You are truly an inspiration in my life and our family. “Semper FI” Love you always, Mom

SFC LEONARD ROBAR MP in the Army National Guard Lenny has already served one term in Afghanistan and will be heading back in 2011.

Thank you for your service to our great country and we are very proud of you. Please stay safe when you go back next year.

Love, Lori, David & Kayli

RYAN ADAMS US Navy stationed out of Virginia, Beach. Ryan has been in the Navy since 2007.

He is currently serving in Afghanistan.

Ryan, Stay safe and please know that we are proud of you and you are in our prayers that you and all the soldiers remain safe.

Love, MeMe, Auntie, Uncle, David & Kayli.

Here are proud WWII Veterans Harold & Ernie George (and Millbury natives) sharing a moment at Ernie’s 90th birthday party last spring.

Ernie & Harold both served in the Army and received the military decoration of Purple Heart after having been wounded in Europe. Thank you both for your service during WWII.

I am writing to you today in behalf of a special veteran named DOUGLAS ALLEN PATENAUDE. Doug has had to overcome many obstacles in his life, but he never once waivered when it came to 100% loyalty to his job of 24 years. His family and most importantly his four children are his life. Doug has always tried to live by his late dad Robert Patenaude’s exemplary code of honor, ethics, and morals.

And because of his father, he was proud to join the Air Force and become the man he is today.

Sincerely, his “Angel Suz”

buildings to conserve energy and water resources. This is critical for the future of our planet and at the Doyle Center, we can offer the chance for groups to come together and focus on building a future that is sustainable.

Leigh Rae has recently joined The Trustees of Reservations, the are your goals for the Doyle Center nation’s oldest statewide land trust, as Director of the Doyle Center and What and Community Park? I would like to Community Park. As Director, Rae is working to advance the mission see us create a place where visitors can of The Trustees of Reservations in the Gateway Cities of Fitchburg and enjoy the diverse natural landscapes Leominster and surrounding communities, helping to ensure that many that the property offers. Some will come to the Doyle Center to learn more more people, no matter where they live or work, have access to the about The Trustees of Reservations open space, parks, greenways and programs in their communities. We recently caught up with Rae, to learn a little bit more about her new role and the places that The Trustees cares for across the state – from and what she will bring to the (green) table.

Castle Hill in Ipswich to Naumkeag up in a family where I had the chance to experience the awe that comes from hiking to the top of one of New England’s most majestic peaks and sharing a story and an orange and a look at the vast expanse of forested highlands. Professionally, my private sector experience taught me the nutsand-bolts about buildings and land use, and at some point it became critical to focus my work on the connection that people have with the land and the places that matter most to them.

Doyle Center is a green conference center – can you explain what that means? It means that we can share ideas about how to conserve our natural resource in the built environment. Each year, there are new technologies being introduced that enable us to construct and adapt

How did you go from portfolio manager to land conservation and urban parks?

For me it’s always been about place. I like to feel connected to place. I grew

in Stockbridge. Others will want to learn about the Center itself and building technologies that have been used to conserve energy and water.

Many will come to contribute to their communities by participating in meetings and conferences focused on land conservation, healthy living, and economic development. Still others will want to experience the gracious Doyle family home and gardens.

In your experience, how can a center/ park become a community and regional resource? First we need to make our Center and Community Park more welcoming. We are the stewards of a place with so much possibility for engaging people in issues that matter most and our charge will be to reach out into the communities in North Central Massachusetts and beyond.

Already we have helped to preserve land within the City of Fitchburg that will be home to a new neighborhood park and community garden. We are also leading an online forum called ConservationCommon.org to give people in cities and towns across the state the chance to connect and share information about creating parks and gardens, protecting forests and conserving natural resources. Our Urban Park Network is giving professionals and volunteers working in the Gateway Cities a chance to learn from each other about everything from best practices to funding opportunities for building and caring for urban parks and gardens.

As a mom, why do you think it is important to foster natural spaces in our community? Young people spend too much time indoors. The health risks of this trend are disheartening. Being in nature is a grounding experience and children understand this better than any of us.

Your favorite spot in Doyle Park? I love to look out at the Monoosnuc Ridge from the Upper Meadow.

What are you looking forward to most during your first winter at the Park?

I am looking forward to cross country skiing with colleagues, volunteers and friends of The Trustees of Reservations.

What are you looking forward to the least? Shoveling snow off my car in the morning before heading to work.
