any of us have, at one point or another, wondered what it would be like to be someone else. It doesn’t mean you’re not comfortable in your own skin. Maybe you fantasize what it would be like to be Beyonce for a day. Or Obama. Or, perish the thought, Donald Trump. Worcester Magazine asked T.J. Anania to hit the phones and the streets and ask people this simple, yet complicated, question: Who would you be if you could be someone else? Ever wonder who the city manager would want to be if he wasn’t himself? Or some of the city councilors? What about the servers you encounter at Nu Cafe? They have dreams, too. Without further ado, turn the pages and ask yourself: Who would I be if I could be someone else?

Coney Island gears up for 100 ahead of time

PHOTO COURTESY KATHRYN TSANDIKOS

atrons of George’s Coney Island come in every day with stories, owner Kathryn Tsandikos said. People coming in to see the spot where their grandparents had their first date – that’s not a trip most other restaurants in Worcester can accommodate. With Coney Island’s 100-year anniversary fast approaching, Tsandikos — whose grandparents bought the Southbridge Street building in 1927 — had an idea. Take her customers’ stories, the boxes of memories built up over the years and some historical research and turn it into a book, telling the story of a Worcester icon – and the story of Worcester itself. “It’s not our story. It’s the customers’ story,” Tsandikos said. “And to give it the heart and the love and the personality it deserves – I want to get across, from people’s stories, what is it about the mystery of this place? Why do people love it? But not just a testimonial.” Tsandikos often refers to the period after her grandparents bought the business, the ’30s and ’40s, as the “heyday” for Coney Island, which serves hot dogs in the eponymous style. It was so popular back then, she said, they would have to hire a police detail, and her grandparents would have to work until 3 a.m. or later. But even as the city changed, factories in the area closed and nearby train stations and bus stations shut down, Coney

Island blossomed into a regional cultural icon. Large crowds still fill the space for lunch and dinner. “The fact that we’ve lasted through all the changes in Worcester is an amazing testament not just to us but to the people of Worcester,” Tsandikos said. “People love to come here, for whatever reason. Worcester has changed, but we’ve stayed the same, and I think people like that.” As the last name suggests, George Tsagarelis was a Greek immigrant who decided he wanted to run a hot dog place in the Heart of the Commonwealth – not unusual in those days, said Tsandikos, who recently read a book about the more nationally famous Nathan’s Hot Dogs in New York’s Coney Island. While her book would also tell the story of a frankfurter institution, Tsandikos was frank about its appeal outside Worcester. “No, I don’t think so,” Tsandikos said. “I think it’s a book for us.” In fact, Tsandikos, a Worcester lifer who remembers spending time at the restaurant as a young girl, resists any comparison of Worcester to other cities, saying the city is in a class of its own. “Why can’t we just be happy being Worcester?” Tsandikos asked. “Why do we have to be Providence or Boston? We’re not. We’re Worcester, and I think that’s part of why we’re still here, too. I don’t think there are too many places in too many cities that

That’s what makes Worcester unique and beautiful. Worcester is Worcester, and that’s what makes us uniquely, wonderfully special.” It’s no coincidence that Coney Island’s success started around World War II. Tsandikos said the train station that used to

Clark forum tackles masculinity, music with professor, biographer Jim Perry

lark University professor Michael Addis has long had an interest in masculinity and our culture’s expectations regarding men. He has also been a lifelong fan of popular music. Some people might not see a connection between the two subjects, but Addis makes his living as a thinker. He has noticed many examples of masculine expectations in music, especially rock music. Now, for the first time, he has the opportunity to expand on the subject. On Thursday, Oct. 20, Addis welcomes Warren Zanes to the Daniels Theatre on the Clark campus, where they will conduct a public forum on the music world and how songs portray the male image. Zanes will discuss his recent biography of Tom Petty, followed by a discussion moderated by Addis. The event starts at 7 p.m. Zanes, who, along with his brother, Dan, fronted Boston’s Del Fuegos as a teen, became interested in human behavior once he put his guitar down. He went on to earn a Ph.D in cultural studies. As such, he brings a wealth of information to the event. As for Addis, he already spent decades exploring the subject. Both men are authors: Addis, having wrote a book on masculinity, titled “The Invisible Men,” and Zanes, releasing a biography of Tom Petty last year, simply titled “Petty.” The combination of knowledge should make for a fascinating evening. Addis has long been intrigued with men’s mental health, and masculinity in particular. He talks of the way societal expectations affect us. Men, he says, “…put on a front that

Clark University professor Mike Addis, above. At right, Tom Petty biographer Warren Zanes. you’re in control, and everything’s okay, when in fact, inside, there’s a lot going on.” Being a musician himself — he plays guitar — Addis often uses lyrics from rock songs in his classrooms to make a point. He is a big fan

of Tom Petty, and this is where the common denominator between him and Zanes begins. A series of events occurred in both of their lives, in which they symbolically crossed paths without ever meeting. First, Addis went to see the Del Fuegos while still in college, and noticed the young guitarist Zanes. Then in the mid 2000s, Addis watched the Peter Bogdonavitch-directed Tom Petty documentary, “Runnin’ Down a Dream.” Zanes is featured in a few scenes commenting on Petty. Soon, Addis found out Zanes was in graduate school working toward his PhD, and that they had a mutual family friend. Finally, Addis picked up a recent book about Tom Petty – lo and behold, it was written by Zanes. “It stood out because of his sensitivity to a lot of the issues I’m talking about,” said Addis. He sent Zanes an email, expressing his appreciation for his writing. Zanes immediately responded enthusiastically. It turns out Zanes was familiar with Addis’ work as well. This led to conversations about possibly doing this type of thing. Both men agreed the concept had potential. The Tom Petty connection led Addis to conclude it could spark the public’s interest in the proper forum. “It’s sort of a friendly, more accessible way

of discussing a lot of serious issues facing men, in terms of mental and physical health,” he said. “One of the things that’s rampant everywhere about masculinity is the idea that men should keep their problems to themselves, and then present an exterior that says, ‘I’m doing great. I have no problems,’” Addis said. He went on to say people who believe that “are open to a whole host of mental issues.” He lists higher rates of depression, less likelihood of actually seeking help when needed, higher rates of drug use, divorce, and more. Addis refers to it as the “Marlboro Man” mentality. The challenge with the forum at Clark, Addis noted, will be to cohesively tie together the themes that are highlighted. He calls rock and blues “one of the only places where men’s true emotional selves are expressed. But it’s often done in this ‘sleight of hand’ way, where the persona of the musician is masculine, rebellious and very cool. And the emotionalism is often snuck in through either the lyrics or the way the instrument is played.” “With Tom Petty,” Addis continued, “he is kind of known as a rebel; he ‘won’t back down,’ as he says in one of his songs. He’s seen as a man’s man in rock’n’roll.” But Petty cleverly reveals his more tender side. “There would suddenly be these direct, vulnerable statements with a really keen awareness of the effects of masculinity on people,” Addis said. While Zanes book doesn’t cover the masculinity issue directly, according to Addis, continued on page 7

society moved toward the automobile instead of the morning stroll, Coney Island thrived in its semi-downtown location. “We’ve gone from a walking society back then to driving,” Tsandikos said. “Now we’re more of a destination. But I can’t imagine we’d be more successful anywhere else. This is where we are, this is our home. We add life to this area. I think we’re in a very good location. When there was hockey at the DCU, which is coming back, we’re near Holy Cross, we’re near the Hanover [Theatre] – I think we’re in one of the best locations ever.” That’s not to say there aren’t challenges. Worcester, once a hotbed of industry, went through a rough patch when the country moved on from factories without it, and went through another rough patch when it was hit particularly hard by the 2008 recession. Through it all, Coney Island has thrived. “It’s a story of survival,” Tsandikos said. “How something has withstood a lot of changes in a city that has gone through what it’s gone through.” Nowadays, a trip to Coney Island is almost a Worcester rite of passage. Big-time outlets like the Phantom Gourmet have profiled the restaurant, and notable people like Ohio Gov. John Kasich have stopped by – and bragged about the visit to a rally crowd to establish down-to-earth credibility. For Tsandikos, the

Coney Island owner Kathryn Tsandikos whole thing is almost surreal. “It’s almost achieved this iconic, landmark status, but it wasn’t like that when I was growing up,” Tsandikos said. Of course, none of the success would be possible unless people enjoyed the hot dogs. While the style varies from region to region, the key component of a Coney Island hot dog is a meat sauce. At George’s, the usual toppings also include mustard and onions.

Harvestfest

Tsandikos said one of the best compliments she got was from a family from Michigan — one of the better-known regions for a good Coney dog — who said the Worcester location was serving up hot dogs that were as good, if not better, than the ones back home. Tsandikos attributes that to the sauce, which is made from scratch instead of bottled. While the exact recipe is a closely-guarded secret, Tsandikos said it is basically unchanged

since the ’30s, yet another aspect of the past preserved with care. Creating the book — a collaboration with Tom Hostage of Bespoke History — is another way to preserve the past. The release will be timed around the 100-year anniversary, which since the lunch counter started at the original location in 1918, will be 2018. “Those stories mean something,” Tsandikos said. “They’re very significant to the people who share those stories, and they’re very significant to me.” As for the main question she gets, Tsandikos said not to worry about Coney Island lasting into the future. “I think it’ll go on. I think that’s the most important thing,” Tsandikos said. “That’s important to know, we plan on being around for the next 100. That’s our goal. We’re thrilled to be a part of Worcester. We want to be around for a long time.” Coney Island is still soliciting stories and photos from the old days. Dropping them off at the restaurant is one convenient way, and the restaurant has a snail mail address at Coney Island Book Project: 111 McGilpin Road, Sturbridge, MA 01566.

“he certainly talks about the struggle with self-reliance.” The book deals extensively with Petty’s private battle with heroin addiction (he rented a house and quit cold turkey), and his psychotherapy sessions regarding his divorce. Even Bruce Springsteen, one of the ultimate men’s men in rock, recently released a biography, detailing his battles with depression, so it is really a very timely subject, and the format is fascinating. Addis calls the event a dream come true, being able to bring to the public an issue he has been studying for decades. The night will start with Zanes speaking around 20 minutes on the process of writing the biography. Addis will then join him on stage, and they will discuss the subjects that are the theme of the event, how their mutual interests overlap. “We will have an audience question and answer period as well,” said Addis. It is rare that people have the option of serious discussion of mental health issues for an evening out. This affords that opportunity, and should prove to be entertaining as well.

Rewind: 40 Years of News, Entertainment and More

‘The Harley Life’

“F

ernweh.” The German word does not translate easily into English, although “wanderlust” comes close. Coined in contrast with Heimweh, the German word for home-sickness, Fernweh means far-sickness, the urge to ramble far and wide to places strange and unfamiliar. This impulse to take to the road has existed across time and cultures as part of the human experience. In modern times, there is perhaps no lifestyle that better captures humanity’s endemic Fernweh than American motorcycle culture. The slick, polished bikes with their leather-outfitted riders, speeding toward oblivion, seemed to symbolize freedom — from the rat race, from social mandates, from time itself — in the Oct. 13, 1993 edition of Worcester Magazine. “‘It’s an attitude, a mystique,’” said one Harley-Davidson rider, a woman married to another biker. She always rode her own bike, rather than being a passenger, saying, “‘I gotta be in control … I gotta do my own

thing.’” This is the ethos of the archetypal Wanderer, and the biker, who is called a rider, rather than a driver. Cars are driven, as mere mechanized implements of man’s will. Motorcycles, however, are ridden, implying a deeper level of spontaneity in the adventurous riders, who travel wherever the spirit stirs them. “‘I never met another rider who asked me what I did. It’s not what you do, it’s who you

are,’” said another rider. This focus on the individual allows bikers to tap into a different side of themselves when they are out on a ride. “‘When you put on the coat, the helmet, the goggles, and the boots, you just feel different,’” a third biker noted. The ability to step into another state of mind and leave the everyday world behind has made motorcycles a mainstay in American culture. And so, to all of the motorists out on the road today, we say: ride on!

{ worcesteria } SEMANTICIAN: The war of the signs has started in the 16th Worcester District. As Democrat

Dan Donahue and United Independent Party candidate John Fresolo duke it out, the landscape is becoming dotted with advertisements for both candidates. Here’s the interesting bit – both candidates can reasonably say they are running for re-election. Fresolo held the State Rep. job until his resignation in 2013, while Donahue has held it since a special election that same year. That means you can re-use those old “re-elect” signs – for either candidate. Oh, and

ROCKIN ROCKDALE: Rockdale Recovery High School will hold a fundraiser - “An Evening on the Road to Recovery” - on Oct. 27. The school, designed to give kids with addiction problems a helpful and supportive environment so they can get their high school diplomas – celebrates its one-year anniversary this month. This is the first community fundraiser for the school, and the money will go toward extending student supports beyond the school day and transporting students to and from school. The transportation conundrum reared its head before the school opened. Students can come from multiple school districts, but while districts like Worcester and Webster immediately committed to busing their students to the school, other districts did not provide transportation. In an interview before the start of school last year, school principal Susan Strong called transportation the “number one barrier” to getting kids from towns like Northbridge and Southbridge to be able to attend the school. So how is State House Bill 1815, which would provide state reimbursement for districts to pay for their kids to get to a recovery high school, going? It was proposed in January 2015, so it must have been passed by now, right? Think again, you beautiful optimist. In the meantime, you can support the school with a suggested donation of $25 or more, and you can get your copy of The East Side of Addiction, the Worcester book profiled in these pages a few months ago, signed by the authors. The event is from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Worcester Technical High School, with “heavy hors d’oeuvres” prepared by students at the school. NOT BLOWING SMOKE: The Massachusetts Red Cross is coming together with the City of Worcester and the Worcester Fire Department for its “first major smoke alarm and carbon monoxide installation rally.” Call Guinness. The goal for Saturday, Oct. 15 is to visit 300 homes and distribute 1,200 smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. This is part of National Fire Preparedness Week. WFD Chief Geoff Gardell noted that of the 31 people in the state who died in fires last winter, over half had no working fire alarm. So get yourself an alarm, whether through this program or by other means.

Editorial A matter of common dollars and cents

uestion 2, much like Question 4, has been hotly debated, with passionate advocacy for and against. If passed, the state’s cap on charter schools would be lifted, allowing for up to 12 new charter schools. Simple enough, right? Wrong. Proponents of Question 2 have been playing a little loose with the facts. If you’ve seen the television ads, you’ve been told charter schools, which are public schools, do not siphon money away from traditional public schools, and that more money would, in fact, be directed to public education. As is often the case in these instances, the devil is in the details. Do charter schools themselves directly strip money away from traditional public schools? Not exactly, but that is the red herring designed to keep voters’ eye off the ball. Here’s what really happens: student x, who under the current per-pupil spending formula in Massachusetts is funded at $13,000, leaves a traditional public school in Worcester for a charter school. When that student leaves, the pro-Question 2 argument goes, that’s fewer services – and thus less money – his old school has to pay out. Right? Wrong. In order for that to happen, every student leaving a traditional public school for a charter school would have to come from the same classroom, same school. But that is not what happens, obviously. Just because student x leaves, his class, teacher, busing and other expenses remain in place. The school just lost the per-pupil funding for that student. One counter argument might be, “Well, yeah, but if you kept all those students, you’d have to spend more money to educate them.” Roughly 2,100 attend either at Seven Hills or Abbey Kelley. As Worcester Public Schools Chief Financial Officer Brian Allen explains it, yes, the schools might have to hire more teachers if all those students remained in the school system, but not all the money would be directed there. Some of it could be used to improve Level 3 and 4 schools, or expand extra-curricular activities. The next financial argument to be made by some supporters of Question 2 is that the sending school is reimbursed for that student. Under the current reimbursement formula, which was put in place in 2010 with an Act Relative to the Achieve Gap, the sending school would receive 100 percent of increased tuition as aid in the first year, and 25 percent over the next five years. As Allen lays it out, however, that is not what has happened. The state has not met its reimbursement requirements. Worcester Public Schools, he said, received just 36 percent of the total reimbursement due for the current fiscal year and five previous years. It is, he said, about $1 million short. Debating whether charter schools offer more choices, or whether the quality of education is better in one place than another, is perfectly valid. That is not the point of this particular argument. From a solely financial standpoint, the claims made by supporters of Question 2 are off-base and misleading. Traditional public schools, including Worcester’s, simply are not playing on a level playing field when it comes to funding and charter schools. The services provided to student x will remain in place and require funding. While there is per-pupil spending, that is not, as Allen tells it, how the school district approaches. You don’t budget on a perpupil basis, you budget on a per-class basis. And removing one or two, or even three students from that class does not eliminate the need to fund that class. It does not eliminate that child’s bus route. Coupled with the underfunding of reimbursement for the loss of students to charter schools, a vote for Question 2 at this time simply does not make sense. What does make sense is for the state to at least meet its reimbursement responsibilities first. We encourage a “No” vote on Question 2.

Harvey

Trump’s vagina monologue Janice Harvey

t seems only fitting that the latest disgraceful bombshell regarding Republican presidential nominee Donald J. Trump should land on Columbus Day weekend. How better to honor a marauder than by serving up a power-drunk skunk as a viable candidate for the highest office in the land? The recently-released tape of Trump bragging about his sexcapades may or may not make a dent in his wall of deplorables. Some are cretinous yahoos who live vicariously through the rich and famous. Some will agree with fivestar flake Michele Bachmann, who deemed Trump’s reprehensible behavior nothing more than “ bad boy talk.” I’m bothered most by the women willing to dismiss Trump’s crowing as “locker room banter.” I’m no psychologist, but I have to wonder how many of them have a history of abuse. I hear in their words the predictable response of a woman conditioned to turn the bruised cheek, in order to survive life with an abuser. Donald Trump’s treatment of women in front of the camera makes me shiver over the thought of what his behavior must be in private. His fabled short fuse and unwillingness to accept responsibility for his actions suggest he’s a homefront tyrant. That Trump would blame Hillary for her husband’s wandering eye is yet another red flag. Suggesting she was unable to “satisfy” her husband puts the blame on the woman when a man breaks his marital vows. Are we to believe that Melania Trump’s pregnancy gave Trump

permission to paw at the privates of every woman he found attractive? Women, to Donald Trump, are no different from any of the umpteen products he stamps with his name. They are, in his eyes, forgettable - even disposable - once they outlive their usefulness. They exist for his pleasure. I would take this one step further and say he views the United States of America as just another conquest - something to win, something to brag about and ultimately abandon when boredom sets in. And if by some hideous “miracle” he should succeed in his bid for the White House, boredom will come quickly, because for The Donald, it’s the chase that matters. Knowing he can freely grope women without consequence is what appeals to Trump, perhaps more than the groping. It’s the knowing. I missed the second debate. That’s not something I ever expected to do, but after reading a dozen articles on it, I realized it was better for my health that I not witness Trump’s intimidating physical presence as he hovered over and haunted Hillary Clinton. In all likelihood we will awaken on Nov. 9 to headlines that read: “CLINTON IN A LANDSLIDE,” but we’ll be left with the sensation that America needs a hot Saturday night bath to scrub away the filthy residue. Trump had the unmitigated gall to bark “You should be ashamed of yourself !” in a twisted televised moment. Not quite, Mr. Trump. The shame, Donald, is on the Republican Party for allowing a junkyard dog to defecate on the White House lawn with cameras rolling.

That’s What They Said “Congrats to my running mate @realDonaldTrump on a big debate win! Proud to stand with you as we #MAGA.”

- Cheryl Heline, commenting on Worcester Magazine’s Facebook page on the arrest of 70 people at an India call center linked to an IRS scam.

- Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence, Tweeting after the second debate between his running mate, Donald Trump, and Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton.

“One of the things that’s rampant everywhere about masculinity is PHOTO SUBMITTED the idea that men should keep their problems to themselves, and then present an exterior that says, ‘I’m doing great. I have no problems.’”

“Hey, @realDonaldTrump – regarding your claim that Captain Khan would be alive if you were president: go f**k yourself #debate.” - Jesse Lehrich, foreign policy spokesman for Hillary Clinton’s campaign, in a Tweet to Donald Trump during the second debate.” “While they’re at it, maybe they can pick up the POS who call telling you they’re from Microsoft, and are getting notification that there’s something wrong with your computer. Played along for a while with one guy, and screamed that my computer blew up. haha!”

- Clark University professor Michael Addis, who will conduct an Oct. 20 public forum with Tom Petty biographer Warren Zanes.

Writer: Clinton won’t empower women To the Editor: What millennials don’t know, will hurt them. Most of you were just babes when Bill Clinton started his babe collection. You may be unaware of the role Hillary Clinton played in his numerous sex scandals. Dating as far back as 1969, continuing into this century, Bill Clinton’s victims were all preyed upon, groped, raped and violated. They could easily fill an auditorium- and there are many more in the shadows. Bill Clinton makes Bill Cosby look like an oversexed teen. Most important was how Hillary “handled” these women. For years, she has amorally colluded in the vilification of female victims of her husband’s serial abuse, conspiring to cover up his sexual assaults and smear them. Hillary was no victim here, ever. She was not going to let anything get in the way of her power and wealth. The New York Times recently wrote, “Women who claimed to have sexual encounters with Mr. Clinton would become targets of digging and discrediting.” Hillary and the

campaign hired a ruthless private investigator whose main mission was to impugn the “character and veracity until she is destroyed beyond all recognition.” Aren’t these tactics that women’s right groups denounce? Left-wing, modern feminist Camille Paglia calls Hillary “utterly corrupt, soulless and incompetent.” No one has a longer history of objectifying women than the Clintons. Juanita Broaddrick (rape) said, “I was 35 years old when Bill Clinton, Arkansas attorney general raped me … Hillary tried to silence me. I am now 73 … it never goes away.”Kathleen Willey (sexual allegations) said, “I have communicated with a number of them [the victims who have not come forward] and they are still terrified of publicly sharing their experiences with the Clintons. ... We could fill the entire audience. I would like to see the day when these women can step into the light and share their stories of brutality, terror and intimidation without the kind of fear of intimidation and recrimination that we have experienced all these years.” Clinton’s staff had to actually come up with a name referencing all of Bill’s women, and coined them “bimbo eruptions.” Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail recently, said, “Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed and supported.” Well, if that doesn’t make you spit out your pumpkin spice latte. Stories recounted from victims detailed

how Mrs. Clinton was intent on “destroying” them, engaging in blackmail to silence them. More disturbing assertions from victims were that their pets went missing, tires were slashed, jobs were terminated, the IRS came calling, windshields smashed, and late night phone calls referencing their children came. None of these women knew each other, but they all had the same or similar stories. In 1975, Hillary Clinton defended the rapist of a 12-yearold girl. She blocked forensic evidence and pleaded down; he served two months. Hillary smeared this sixth-grader that had horrific injuries, saying she was, “emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older men and engage in fantasizing.” Hillary was later heard in a taped interview callously acknowledging this rapist’s guilt and laughing about it. That little girl, Kathy Shelton, now 54, has had a very difficult life. She has come forward and said, “Hillary Clinton took me through hell.” She is, “lying when she claims to be a lifelong defender of women and girls. If she was, she wouldn’t have done that to me at 12 years old.” So, for those of you who are naive and “living in your parent’s basements,” understand that Hillary has spent her entire life

As some of our readers might know, Worcester Magazine just turned 40. Yes, we know. Thanks for the congratulations, but you can keep your over-thehill cards. We know we’re old and we now reserve the right to fill the paper with jokes your dad would laugh at. Aside from the occasional gaffe, we’d like to think we’ve aged well - like a fine wine or Matthew McConaughey’s career. Still, as content as we are, we’ve sometimes contemplated the question, who or what might we want to be if we weren’t ourselves? Whose life would be the most exciting, enriching, or downright entertaining to experience? But we didn’t want to limit the fantasy to ourselves. We decided to step outside our lair and ask people of Worcester: Who would you want to be if you could be someone else? Some played it safe, preferring to remain themselves. Others reached back into history, or into the world of music or literature. To those who played along, thank you. We hope you had as much fun answering as we did asking.

I think I’d pursue the passion that I didn’t know I had until a few minutes ago. You’d get to see open space and cityscapes differently.” WILLEM KLOOSTER, PROFESSOR, CLARK UNIVERSITY “I would like to have been Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), the Prussian scholar and one of the last Renaissance men. He was taught by the best teachers and studied at the University of Göttingen, which was at the time a major center of the Enlightenment. Everything in the world seemed to interest him. It was only natural for a man with unbridled curiosity and an amazing work ethic to stumble on ideas nobody had had before or invent useful devices, like an early type of gas mask. He also became one of the fathers of meteorology.” ROBIN KRUZEWSKI, STUDENT A famous psychologist. I love psychology, and the only way to change the world and get your idea out there is to be famous.

I’m not even somebody yet.” ETHAN MITNIK, INTERN, NEW YORK METS “I would be Steve Jobs. To be that innovative and have such a big effect on how people live their daily lives with his products. And to know what it would feel like to walk around and see everyone using something you created would be crazy.” STEPHEN DIRADO, PROFESSOR, CLARK UNIVERSITY “I’ve always wanted to be a meteorologist or a weather forecaster.

Marionette magic and “A Soldier’s Tale” at Clark

Joshua Lyford

On Friday, Oct. 14, Clark University’s Department of Visual and Performing Arts presents Russian composer Igor Stravinsky’s “L’Histoire du soldat” or “A Soldier’s Tale.” While the production was originally written for a septet, the Clark production will be performed by a trio accompanied by a narrator as well as marionettes and shadow puppets.

“A Soldier’s Tale” was composed by Stravinsky, but Swiss writer Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz crafted the libretto, or narration, for the production and the story itself was based on Russian folk tales. “In this play, because of when it was written–the first world war–ex-patriots couldn’t go across the border or they would lose their lives,” said Dan Butterworth, who will be performing with his marionettes. “Here, it’s the exact same restriction put on him [the soldier].

PHOTOS SUBMITTED

If he crosses the border, he’ll lose everything. But, he’s home sick and he does cross it.” Butterworth and his marionettes will be joined in the production of “A Soldier’s Tale” by actor Jason Asprey, who will narrate, Mikhail Kopelman on violin, Julian Milkis on clarinet and Sima Kustanovich on piano. “It’s an unbelievable piece of music, it’s incredible,” said Kustanovich. “Stravinsky was living in Europe at the time, he wasn’t in the United States yet and it was a tough time. He couldn’t do a big production.” “He [the soldier] meets the devil, but he doesn’t know it’s the devil,” she continued. “The devil wants his violin, because that is his

soul. It’s about moral principles. It’s about seduction of greed and borders and boundaries. All of that is amazingly supported by music.” Stravinsky’s tale has been performed in various formats since it first premiered in September 1918, operating as a full septet and smaller paired down performances, as well as utilizing dancers, actors and any number of combinations thereof. Clark’s production will utilize music and narration, but also incorporate Butterworth’s marionettes and shadow puppets.

Butterworth got his start in puppetry nearly by chance. He came from a family of teachers and expected to be one himself. He was attending college to that end when he found a newspaper ad that read “wanted: puppet helper.” “He took us in a big old Victorian house and takes us into a room with a marionette and shows us a few moves,” recalled Butterworth. “He’d close the door and say ‘I’ll see you in a few minutes.’ I looked down at this puppet and it was so beautiful and moved so nicely. I needed this job. I first went through the moves and he showed us and I had to do more. There were 15 people trying to get this thing. I could get a few clues and I worked those out, so I did his moves and then I did some moves I had figured out on my own. He was impressed and he hired me.” Butterworth worked as a puppet helper for two years, traveling 50,000 miles a year performing. The pair would perform classics like Peter and the Wold and Beauty and the Beast. In the summer, they would craft the intricate European style marionettes. “I realized something in my apartment at night, I knew something and it was a rarified skill,” Butterworth said. “I knew how to make marionettes.” From there, Butterworth took his skills

and added his own flair while busking on the weekends in Boston. “It was pretty successful,” he said. “People liked it. The one thing I learned that wasn’t in my training was that I could make these things dance. That was the connection to my sensibility. I could make them dance and people liked seeing that.” Butterworth would go on to perform in productions, movies, television programs, tours, exhibits and more, including “A Soldier’s Tale.” “A Soldier’s Tale” will be performed on Friday, Oct. 14 at 7:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public and will be held at Clark University’s Atwood Hall, Daniel’s Theater on Woodland Street. The production is presented by Clark University’s Department of Visual and Performing Arts. For more information on Clark, head to Clarku.edu.

FINALLY:

I tasked myself with kicking off the column this week with a one word subhead and while I made the word count, it really wasn’t any good. “Finally” was supposed to lead into the opening sentence, but I botched that, too, by letting the self-deprecating intro sentence get the best of me. So, here, let’s start over shall we? Finally, Showcase Worcester North has added a “premium lobby bar” that offers a “creative menu of signature cocktails.” Sure, that’s all well and good, but the important component is the following: “Moviegoers also now have the ability to bring drinks directly to their auditorium seats.” Ahhh, now “anonymous strangers that I’ve never met or known” won’t have to wear bulky jackets filled with warm, ratty beer any longer.

The show is in its fifth iteration, and includes 19 artists’ creative interpretations of the city. “I think people like to see things they don’t normally see in the city,” said owner Norman Ringdahl. “Things they might go by every day, whether it’s a building detail or a park. It makes it interesting enough for artists to decide to produce a piece of artwork around it. There’s a lot of places that people pass by every day and people don’t think too much about it.” The exhibition includes Emilie Astell, Deanna Degon, Michael Graves Wondolowski, Mary Hollingsworth, Jackie Penny, Tom Saupe, Aaron White, Sharon Jordan Bahosh, Raquel Derry, Robert Graves, Karen Jarosz, Norman Ringdahl himself, Linda Sinacola, Gerard Blouin, Tom Grady, Laureen Hylka, Carrie Nixon, Michael PHOTO SUBMITTED Rogan and Mark Waitkus.

THE RIFFS OF SLEEPY HOLLOW: Oh yeah, after a

few months of anticipation (on my end at least), Worcester Magazine got to check out a full dress rehearsal of The Sleepy Hollow Experience at Old Sturbridge Village and all I can say is nnnph, that was delectable. I had a pretty decent idea as to what audience members should expect (I did write a cover story about it not so long ago, after all), but even in its dress rehearsal phase it exceeded my expectations. First of all, to the subhead, I knew that it would be a musical experience, but I had no idea as to the extent of the music involved. There were songs throughout and they were well done and showcased the cast’s talent as well as their guitar chops. Further, the experience is what somebody fancier than I may call a real ‘tour de force’; it’s a little spooky, it’s a

night day &

little dramatic and it’s really, really, funny. I found myself laughing throughout and the intermission was a lot more interactive and fun than I would have expected. I won’t ruin it (I doubt I could if you are familiar with The Legend of Sleepy Hollow at all), but the climax is absolutely amazing. Hopefully, you already grabbed tickets because the event sold out quickly, but if not, I’d be willing to guess they’ll return next year following the success of the debut.

CIRCLE OF BLACK: Is a tough as nails subhead but, more importantly, what Google Translate just told me Cirque du Noir translates to in English. In its ninth year, Cirque takes place on Saturday, Oct. 15 at the Sprinkler Factory, 38 Harlow St., at 7 p.m. If you’re not familiar, you should be. It’s an awesome event that can be a little difficult to describe (at least if you’re a sleepy arts and entertainment reporter who had their fantasy hockey draft last night), but I’ll do my best. Cirque du Noir FILE PHOTO pulls all of the corners of the creative helix that makes up Worcester inward concentrically (hey, it’s my column, if I want to word things up, that’s my prerogative) for one night of fun and creativity. Those swinging by are asked to wear all black, or “creative black attire” (some of last year’s costumes and makeup were incredible, just to give you an advance on what you’re going up against). There are hors d’oeuvres (I have to look up the spelling of this every time I write it and, frankly, it’s starting to make me self conscious as a writer. From this moment on, I’m tossing hors d’oeuvres out and replacing it with “five-dollarword appetizers), as well as music, dancing, a silent auction with great art, a cash bar and an art fusion featuring John Vo, Jessica Richland, Laura Marotta and Scott Boilard. The whole thing is MC’ed by the always fantastic (and frankly prolific performer), Dale LePage. Tickets are available online at Eventbrite.com, and the charge is $50 at the door. Normally I hound folks for high entry fees (I’m a journalist, anything over $2 is pushing it), but proceeds benefit the Sprinkler Factory and The Creative Hub Worcester, both of which are great, so pay up and enjoy yourselves. Reporter Joshua Lyford can be reached at 508-749-3166, ext. 325, by sitting in your now-frigid bedroom, deciding in haste that you will, for the second time in your adult life, watch every single movie in the “Hellraiser” series in order, from the 1987 B legend of the first, to the unimaginable horror (that may have been disappointment actually) of 2005’s “Hellraiser: Hellworld” and 2011’s Doug Bradley-empty “Hellraiser: Revelations,” and deciding that, while the series is fantastic, it is almost entirely hilarious and very rarely scary, turning your lights off and falling asleep and having hellish dreams of cenobites and gore anyways and deciding that maaaaybe next year you’ll decide to watch “Scooby-Doo” from start to finish instead, or by email at Jlyford@worcestermagazine.com.

Everybody has thoughts of what life could have been. It’s our natural state to wonder, “What if?”

Rachel Watson has those notions every day when passing by the house where she once lived while riding the train from Westchester to Manhattan. The home is now occupied by her ex-husband, his new wife and their baby daughter. Two doors down is another house, where Rachel often observes a young couple nuzzling on the deck, raking leaves, even making love. Everyone in these trainwindow tableaux appears blissful. “The Girl on the Train,” based on the best-selling Paula Hawkins novel, is a twisty potboiler most distinctive because of Rachel’s increasing unreliability as narrator. She’s more than a woman scorned — she’s an alcoholic incapable of masking her slurry speech and trembling hands. Rachel is not a commuter on that train; there is no job awaiting her in the city. She simply rides. Rachel is obsessed with her ex, Tom (Justin Theroux), and his wife, Emily (Rebecca Ferguson), though she’s so woozy most of the time she can never truly articulate why. She’s also fixated on their beautiful neighbor, Megan (Haley Bennett), part of the couple she’s watched en route to Manhattan. When Megan goes missing, Rachel thrusts herself into the investigation because she glimpsed something from the train that she insists is a vital clue, earning the skepticism of the local police detective (played with charming exasperation by Allison Janney, who seems to be wishing she could just toss Rachel into the clink to dry out the way Andy Griffith used

to with Mayberry’s town drunk, Otis). Her recollections of the night Megan disappeared — which take the form of a vodka-addled pastiche of flickering images — may contain the identity of the woman’s potential murderer, who in fact could be Rachel herself. “The Girl on the Train” is held together by the Rachel-Emily-Megan triad, and their individual backstories add texture to the whodunit. Blunt does nice work as Rachel, though some of the heavier drinking scenes have a too-obvious Oscar-bait twang to them (the only thing the Academy loves more than impairment is extreme weight loss or gain). Her interactions with Emily are coated with more than the usual ex-meets-current frostiness and they begin to explain the origins of her damaged soul. I have not read Hawkins’ novel, and immediately after seeing the film I wanted to talk to someone who had. I suspect something (many things?) was lost in translation from print to screen, which turned this potentially gripping story of women fighting their toxic demons into a slightly above-average Lifetime movie. For instance, two of the men depicted here are made-for-TV brutes who control, manipulate and even destroy the women in their lives; nearly every interaction with them carries some measure of dread and menace. And from a strictly practical perspective, if you can’t figure out who the villain is pretty quickly despite the deflections and assorted red herrings, then you haven’t watched enough “Law and Order” in your lifetime. This film has inevitably been compared to “Gone Girl,” another tale of sex, violence and deception in leafy suburbia. Except for surface similarities, they part ways when it comes to paying off on the premise. With “Gone Girl” I felt I had all the necessary components locked together to build a satisfying experience. “The Girl on the Train” got me part way there, then stalled on the tracks.

The other Oli’s: Oli’s Tomato Pie Sandra Rain

I met two friends for dinner at Oli’s Tomato Pie on Belmont Street at 8 p.m. on a recent Friday evening. The restaurant is under the same ownership as Oli’s Italian Eatery in West Boylston.

The bar area looked warm and inviting, with a bronze accent wall and sleek marble surfaces; however, the two other parties in the restaurant had opted to sit in the dining room area and we followed suit. We situated ourselves along a large bank of windows, admiring the prominent canvases hanging around the room that depicted a number of iconic Worcester views. I found myself a little disappointed that the harsh window blinds prevented us from taking in any actual Worcester views.

Our server began by describing a special called the Fire and Ice Shrimp that sounded as if all elements were served warm. I asked what the “ice” component of the dish was referring to, and she was so sweet and candid in her response that I didn’t even mind when she told me she had never thought to ask the chef. That being said, I made the executive decision to stick to the menu, which consequently had a beautiful layout. I ordered a glass of Pinot Noir ($7) and my friends ordered Peronis ($5), which I deemed, “the Rolling Rock of Italy.” Oli’s allows you to order “half salads,” a nice option for those plagued by indecision. We asked for the Caprese Salad ($5.50) and the Mediterranean Salad ($5.50), as well as some Risotto Balls ($9) for good measure. While waiting for our appetizers, we overheard a neighboring table voice concern they had ordered a large pizza and received a small. Our charismatic server smoothed the misunderstanding over easily, wrapping another small pie up to-go. Arborio Risotto Balls arrived shortly after, lightly breaded and fried with four cheeses and prosciutto, served with lukewarm marinara sauce and Asiago cheese. Two salads appeared, one of which was not what

GHOSTBURGERS

BITE SIZED

The remade, all-female version of “Ghostbusters” was released this week on Blu-ray and DVD. What better way to enjoy the movie than to chow down on Wayback Burgers’ Ghostbusin’ Burger? The burger features two patties layered with pepper jack cheese, tipped with a spicy ghost pepper sauce. You can get a side of Mac & Cheese Bites with Ghost Pepper Sauce. Keeping with the movie theme, the restaurant is also serving up the Stay Puft Slime Milkshake. “The new Ghostbusters is an iconic film that is loved by millions of people, and its return gave us a unique opportunity to create exciting menu items inspired by the pop culture phenomenon,” Wayback Burgers president John Eucalitto. The new menu items are available through Oct. 31.

vinaigrette. Both salads came perfectly dressed. Next, we ordered the Italian Variety Platter ($17), a combination of chicken Parmesan, cheese ravioli, spicy sausage, garlic bread and one singular meatball that I suspect may have been the only item made in-house. An Italian Burger ($12) arrived soon after, cooked perfectly medium rare and served with provolone cheese, fresh basil, roasted red peppers and a conservative dab of marinara sauce served on a nondescript bulkie roll. A great burger depends on a sturdy vessel, and I found myself craving thick slices of focaccia. Our final entrée was a large Pestolicious Pizza ($18), which prompted an impassioned Destiny’s Child sing-along that went something like, “My pizza too Pestolicious.” Our singing was so entertaining, in fact, that the server brought our pizza over to another

KRAVIN’ IT

Worcester Magazine’s annual special insert, Krave, will be in your hands Oct. 20. Here’s

a sneak peak at some of the tasty morsels we’ll be serving up. Through the hard work of contributing writer Sarah Connell, we immerse you in the whiskey culture, letting you know the best places to go for a fine whiskey. We will take a look at some of the newest restaurants in Worcester. There’s more, too, but you’ll have to wait a little while longer. We want you to Krave it! Have some juicy tidbits for Bite Sized?

The large flatbread came with pesto-infused mozzarella, red bell peppers, grilled chicken and artichokes. The pie grew waterlogged as it sat cooling on the tray, suiting it well for consumption with fork and knife. At 9:05, a party of two tried to come through the front door, but our server politely explained that the kitchen had just closed. We finished off with a Blueberry Crisp ($6) made with petite Maine blueberries and served piping hot in a white ceramic crock. Oli’s Tomato Pie is decidedly the sort of place I might visit from time to time if it was right around the corner from my apartment, but I’m more apt to visit Oli’s in West Boylston location, given its proximity to Gerardo’s. The total bill came to $97.37.

Live Worcester, Love Worcester calls them “Worcester’s acoustic power couple” and says that “The duo has captured something exceedingly personal and eerily familiar to anyone who has ever fallen in love in the city of Worcester.” The Promise is Hope will be at Wormtown Brewery (Shrewsbury St. Worcester, MA) on Sunday, October 16th 1-3pm. 1-3 p.m. Wormtown Brewing Company, 455 Park Ave. Assumption College HumanArts: Renaissance Men.

Stravinsky’s “A Soldier’s Tale” is one of the most extraordinary parables about the futility of war and the danger of temptation to emerge from the First World War. Using powerfully simple musical means, which reflect Stravinsky’s recent discovery of American jazz, it brings to life the story of a young soldier who trades his violin to the devil in exchange for a magic book and the promise of easy riches. In the end, the soldier loses the bargain. In this special collaborative performance as the narrator leads us through the tale, a cast of marvelous shadow puppets and marionettes act out the scenes of the story. In addition to the evening performance, we will also host an afternoon performance for students from several local schools and a workshop that introduces students to the craft of puppetry. This is supported by NEFA (New England Foundation for the Arts), The Stuart P. Anderson Endowed Fund, the Music Program of Clark’s Visual and Performing Arts Department, The Dean of the College, and the Higgins School of the Humanities. Free and open to the Public. 7:30-9 p.m. Clark University: Atwood Hall, Daniel’s Theater, 950 Main St. Call 508-793-7356.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Tim Peak

STEVEN KING

Thirty-five-year-old Tim Peak has been the attendant at 72 Shrewsbury St. - home to Worcester Magazine, Volturno’s, Wormtown Brewery’s, Couture Nail Spa, and the Worcester Kettle Bell’s shared parking lot - for over a year now. Peak grew up on Shrewsbury Street and has seen the neighborhood change over the years. A hard-working guy, Peak gets his satisfaction by making a person’s day just a little bit better with their brief interaction each day. TOM MATTHEWS

How have you seen Shrewsbury Street change over the years? A lot of different

new restaurants coming in. They just recently did the roads over, which makes it look a lot better. We have a beautiful parade down here on Columbus Day, Taste of Shrewsbury Street in the summer. A lot of things happening down in this neighborhood.

What gets you up in the morning? I try to

Do people give you a hard time a lot?

make people happy. My brother owns a bakery, so I go work there, and then I come here to work, so I’m always busy. Family lifestyle. I want to make people happy. I came from a very depressed state, where I lost my mom very young and I went through a bad depression. I don’t like when people are hurting, suffering so I dedicate my life to make other people happy. I donate a lot of my time to children, donate food a lot, donate money.

Sometimes. On rare occasions. Before, yes. Because I’ve been here for so long everyone recognizes me. They know who I am now, so they know what I’m all about. They always greet me, give me gifts, even tips sometimes. People buy me cupcakes, Christmas presents. There’s this blonde lady, she comes and gives me Dunkin’ Donuts gift cards. I help people in wheelchairs, I push them. I go above and beyond, you know?

What’s a lesson this job has taught you that wouldn’t have expected it to? People

As a parking lot attendant, how do you go about making people happy?

I ask them where they’re going, and say if they say they’re going to Volturno, I say, ‘Enjoy your dinner.’ Because it all starts off with me where, when they go into a restaurant, they’re going to go in there happy. They’re going to leave happy.

Any crazy stories? Oh, everyday. I

always have people coming in here panhandling. You have it all here. All types of scenery. The homeless. The drug users. Sometimes it gets hectic. My first week when I worked here there was a fight. It was four girls and a man against one woman. And I saw the guy hit the woman so I went over and I just tackled the guy without going inside to get help, because I felt obligated to help

her. If I ran inside to get someone I felt like maybe she might get hurt or maybe killed or something, so I took that into my own hands.

What is the biggest challenge of this job?

Dealing with the heat and the cold, believe it or not. Last year, it was that record temperature, minus 13 degrees, and I had to work outside. My hands were so frozen, the heat’s barely working, but I stuck through it. But just like that, if you can deal with mind over matter.

But like I said, I see so I always see you waving or talking to much going on. People bringing gifts, everyone that pulls in. Have you made a customers bringing waitresses gifts, lot of relationships from this job? Oh, servers gifts, bringing me gifts … just absolutely. I made a lot of connections to make people happy.
