itySquare has taken the spotlight in recent years while another parcel of land in need of development right down the street is waiting for its time to shine.

South Worcester Industrial Park (SWIP) has potential to bring new business and new jobs to an area with a growing population of youth entering the work force. Work has been done to rehabilitate the site located around Canterbury, Southgate and Armory streets and it’s said that a more clear vision for the types of businesses appropriate for the Park is being hashed out.

Manufacturing, as SWIP once knew it, most likely will not return. But, there are local economic development leaders who believe clean-energy or biotech business could be just what the neglected Industrial Park needs.

Follow our journey through SWIP’s past and as we explore what its future could hold in our cover story this week.

lmost from the moment the Worcester Business Development Corporation (WBDC) started sharing its draft master plan of downtown Worcester, the focus has been on a proposed hockey rink on the parking lot The state’s so-called “Rainy Day” fund has increased for the third straight year, at the Worcester Public Library. Critics Executive Office for Administration and seized on it and battle lines were drawn Finance announcing that a fiscal 2012 yearas city and WBDC representatives started end surplus of $116 million will be deposited referring to the downtown area as the into the fund. The fund is now at $1.652 Theatre District, while an opposition group billion, up from $1.379 billion at the end of formed as the Library District Committee. fiscal 2011. +1 One resident has put forth his own master plan.

Five current mayors gather outside City What may have gotten lost amidst the Hall to endorse Elizabeth Warren for U.S. Senate and hardly anyone shows up. Ouch! politics and the back and forth of “should -1 they or shouldn’t they build an ice rink” is an urban revitalization effort that, if Rectrix Aviation launches business ever realized, could result in a city center operations at Worcester Regional Airport that looks dramatically different than its (WRA). The company provides private jet and current form. aircraft maintenance as well as fixed-base “We want to create an 18- to 24-hour operations including aircraft parking and city with a mix of uses – residential, fueling. Rectrix has operations at Hanscom Field in Bedford and in Hyannis and Sarasota, commercial and cultural,” says Tim Fla. The company won a multimillion-dollar McGourthy, Worcester’s director of contract from the Massachusetts Port Economic Development, whose office Authority (Massport), which operates the has been working with the WBDC on a airport, and says it will create 100 jobs in downtown plan. “We want to … create Worcester and Bedford and will invest about a center of culture and activity in the $5 million at the airport for office and hangar downtown that brings vibrancy. We want space. +2 to build off CitySquare. Now we invest in

the next effort.”

The hope, according to both McGourthy and WBDC President and CEO Craig Blais, is to have a final draft master plan ready

by December or early January, at which time it would go through the City Council and pubic hearings. Once the plan is approved, work would start on an urban revitalization plan, according to Blais, whose corporation is investing a wealth of resources into its efforts to make the downtown area’s streets and infrastructure more people- and parking-friendly. From there, says Blais, development will follow.

A huge part of the WBDC’s plan hinges on bringing a Quinsigamond Community College campus into the former Worcester Telegram & Gazette building, which WBDC now owns. The WBDC is awaiting word from the state Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM) on whether that plan is approved.

It is the WBDC’s focus on educational components in the master plan – Blais says the city does not want his organization’s efforts to duplicate the retail and business goals of CitySquare – that actually led to the concept of a hockey arena (not to be confused with the long-delayed ice skating rink scheduled to open this month on the city common).

“I can look at college housing,

recreational activities, shared classroom space,” Blais says. “I’ve been actively talking to colleges and universities. The rink idea came from colleges. That is something they said they would invest in.”

While the hockey rink may be just a part of the overall master plan – McGourthy says it may not even end up in the final draft – it has become a focal point for critics. One of them, local blogger and activist Nicole Apostola (nicolecommawoo.wordpress.com) has blasted the combined city and WBDC effort for not being more open. She says the plan for more residential and rental uses is contradicted by the suggestion of a hockey arena, which she believes does not serve to connect the downtown area.

She also notes the plan does not provide for parking in the immediate area (the WBDC’s draft includes a parking area with ramp access across the street).

“I don’t know how a hockey arena fits into that,” she says. “It didn’t make any sense to me that you have a large hockey rink and not have parking right there.”

Apostola reached out to Worcester resident and firefighter Steve Mita, who is also a design consultant. Mita has put forth his own plan – McGourthy says he has seen it, Blais has not – which emphasizes retail and commercial

As Worcester Housing Development Division Director Miguel Rivera speaks in the background, a resident at Plumley Village fills out a survey aimed at assessing priorities for federal funding

to extend the forums. The sixth and final session is slated for 6:30 p.m.

Thursday at the Worcester Public Library.

Overall health, including costs, nutrition and mental services, received the most votes, 11, from a class of about 12 English learners asked to rank six areas of concern as part of a forum led by the city’s Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC). Next in line was education, which received 10 total votes. Jobs stood out as a concern, garnering nine votes. Those three issues easily outdistanced housing, transportation and public safety as areas where residents would like to see federal funds directed. The fact that health received so many votes caught the attention of some city officials.

“Based on the meetings we had, health didn’t come up as a concern,” says Marc Horne, staff assistant in the continued on page 7

“What I’m proposing is we need to get sort of a positive shift going on here,� says Mita. “I think [the WBDC plan] could be more. I’m not knocking anything as far as potential. I just think there could be more. I have very high expectations for Worcester and high standards. The city is at a tipping point. It can tip in a really positive direction or in a negative direction.�

For Apostola, it is also about the process. “I would like to see a better planning process,� she says. “The city could have said we’re thinking about rebuilding this block and ask for ideas.�

McGourthy insists the public will be included – he and Blais note the WBDC has approached many stakeholders already, such as area businesses. “There will be a public process,�

McGourthy says. “This will go through the City Council. We’re open to ideas. The public vetting process is coming.�

development while envisioning a more connected downtown area. It does not do away with the hockey rink; it just puts it in a different location â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at the Wyman & Gordon site on Madison Street.

Mitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan puts an emphasis on private development, with less focus on parking and more on retail and ofďŹ ce space. It also looks at making the library more a part of downtown and proposes a retail/ residential building in the parking lot.

Mita says he agrees with many of the points the WBDC made in assessing the needs, challenges and opportunities in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown area. He just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think its draft master plan goes far enough.

Housing Development Division (HDD). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was surprised at that. What I heard was that it was really tied to health education.â&#x20AC;?

Among those stressing the need for better health education was Paul Hernandez, who works at the Edward M. Kennedy Community Health Center in Great Brook Valley. The center receives CDBG funding for HIV tests and youth counseling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a need for education in sexual health in general, that young people should get tests and to also link it to education,â&#x20AC;? Hernandez says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to teach young people about sexual health and keeping themselves safe.â&#x20AC;?

When it comes to educational opportunities, Monica Ceccatto, who was teaching the class at Plumley Village, wants efforts to extend beyond teaching youngsters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A GED is not the solution,â&#x20AC;? says Ceccatto, insisting education must start at home with the parents. For that, adults must be properly educated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adult basic education is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed.

If we do not start from us as adults, we will get nowhere [in teaching our children].â&#x20AC;?

The hearings are part of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort to comply with rules and regulations established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which scolded ofďŹ cials earlier this year for not providing proper oversight of some of its community development corporations (CDCs), which beneďŹ t from the grants.

In order to continue receiving millions of dollars in federal funding, the city must ensure the money is used as intended â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something HUD claimed was not being done previously. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a matter of the city not running an effective and efďŹ cient program,â&#x20AC;? says HDD director Miguel Rivera. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The letter [from HUD] said that, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard not to agree. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to take a proactive approach. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with all the nonproďŹ ts [and] weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve reached out to HUD. They deal with compliance, but they also provide technical assistance. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking advantage of that and identifying training opportunities for our staff and all our nonproďŹ ts.â&#x20AC;?

In trying to rectify the problems, the city established the public forums to generate discussion and assess what needs are most important to residents.

The public outreach is something ofďŹ cials have not done in the past as part of the HUD funding process Even as it works to improve CDC

{ citydesk } oversight and grant management, the city faces the prospect of continued cuts in federal funding. Annual HUD funding for Worcester has been cut by 30 percent, about $2 million, over the past ďŹ ve years. Last year, he says, the city received $3.9 million in CDBG funding.

That was almost $3 million less than the $6 million-plus requested by 43 different organizations throughout the city.

Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing actually wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what was planned. OfďŹ cials had

advertised a forum to be held in a community room at Plumley Village, but no one showed up. Rather than cancel, the group, which included, among others, Horne, Rivera and communications specialist Colleen Bamford, was invited to speak to Ceccattoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s English as a Second of Other Language (ESOL) class. The adults mostly spoke Spanish and understood little English, which meant the group had to adjust on the ďŹ&#x201A;y. Surveys were distributed, as they were at most of

the previous forums, but this one was done in Spanish from start to ďŹ nish, with Rivera also delivering an English translation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope this was a lesson learned,â&#x20AC;?

Hernandez says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to ďŹ nd out where people are at and go where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at.â&#x20AC;?

didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win the election, and he certainly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win over a fan in former city councilor and local cable TV talk show host Gary Rosen. Brian Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley, who won just over 25 percent of the vote in a landslide loss to 15th Worcester District state Rep-elect Mary Keefe, did his best to shore up votes and paint his opponent as a tax-andspend liberal. He joined many other candidates in sending out a robocall on his behalf, but Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a twist: He took some clips from Rosenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show, including his lead-in line, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Gary Rosen,â&#x20AC;? and used them in his robocall. The message also featured a snippet from Rosen when, after Keefe won the Sept. 6 Primary, he said people got what they wanted if they were looking for more taxes. The only problem is Rosen never authorized it, even though Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley believes it was public record. Rosen was more concerned that the message gave the impression to wouldbe voters that he had endorsed Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley, which he points out he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s totally unethical,â&#x20AC;?

Rosen says of the tactic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am going to talk to an attorney and take this a lot further, believe me.â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley says he tried to clarify any confusion by sending out a press release â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which Worcester Mag did not receive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in which he said Rosen was not endorsing him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to give the impression he was endorsing me,â&#x20AC;? says Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley, who admitted he had not returned several messages left by Rosen because, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to avoid calling people when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re upset.â&#x20AC;?

A VERY SPECIAL POSTELECTION WORCESTERIA

Walter Bird Jr.

ROBO-MCGOVERN?: Robocalls are as

much a part of election season as turkey is of Thanksgiving, if not quite as welcome at the table.

With candidates vying for every last vote, dozens of supporters record messages to be sent out to potential voters around the state. Almost no one is immune. In one particular case, however, the voice on the other end of the phone came as a surprise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got home the other night and hit the button on my voice mail,â&#x20AC;? U.S. Congressman Jim McGovern told a couple of nosy reporters waiting outside The Broadway for Senate hopeful Elizabeth Warrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival the day before Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a call for [Democratic state representative candidate] Jim Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Day, so I say, oh thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good one. And then I hear the voice and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s me. I robocalled myself.â&#x20AC;? Needless to say, McGovern counts himself among those who are thankful for, as he put it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;no more damn robocalls.â&#x20AC;?

A SPLIT DECISION: Jerry Gaudat sat at a

table inside the Worcester Senior Center Tuesday after having cast his ballot. Not everyone likes to divulge which candidate they support, but Gaudat didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind. In his case, he was went both ways: voting for Republican Mitt Romney as president and Democrat Elizabeth Warren as U.S. senator.

Neither was an easy pick for Gaudat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was tough, real tough,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I voted for Romney and Liz Warren. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something about her I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like, but on the other hand I ďŹ gured why not give her a shot?â&#x20AC;?

GETTING IN LINE: Joe Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien was feeling spirited as he celebrated with hundreds of others at Coral Seafood on Election Night, gushing about the lengths to which some voters went to make sure they voted. He told of how he and Mayor Joe Petty delivered coffee to about 120 people waiting out in the cold in line at Lincoln Village shortly before 8 p.m., when the polls closed. The last-minute rush of voters was attributed to phone calls made throughout the day to registered voters, encouraging them to head to the polls. Petty joked that he brought the coffee so the voters wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave, while Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the most amazing thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in my life. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen that many voters waiting outside in the freezing cold to vote.â&#x20AC;?

A SHITTY TIME: No one can say U.S.

Congressman Jim McGovern, D-Worcester, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t committed to his job. After spending Election Day canvassing many of the towns in his district, and exercising his hoarse voice at a late-night victory party at Coral Seafood, he was up and at â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em bright and early Wednesday morning. McGovern joined city and state ofďŹ cials at Worcesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wastewater treatment facility, where the Upper Blackstone Water Pollution Abatement District celebrated the completion of a nearly $3 million Solar Photovoltaic system that is expected to save users throughout the district about $70,000 combined in electricity and other costs. His voice was still a little hoarse, but his presence was acknowledged by many in attendance.

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON: District 5 City Councilor Bill Eddy waited until 3 p.m.

Tuesday to head to the polls. His reason was simple: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when my son gets out of school,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told him he could come with me to vote.â&#x20AC;? It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the ďŹ rst time the younger Eddy voted â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he also got to ďŹ ll in the oval when his Dad ran for Council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The things we do for our young â&#x20AC;&#x2122;uns,â&#x20AC;? Eddy says.

How about publishing a poem once and awhile? Why? Because nothing says it with more power than poetry.

Can’t see an editorial adequately honoring the lost firemen in Worcester’s warehouse fire.

The anniversary of that terrible fire is coming up.

Maybe this poem to remember them?

Memorial on Franklin Street No longer a fence, this thin metal line outruns the road, stretches far into our memories.

It is now the firemen’s wail, attired in the profession’s medals, helmets, black raincoats.

Faded T-shirts stand at attention Artificial flowers sprout life, their scent permeating a space too large to know dimensions.

-Joseph Gustafson Sincerely, J OS EPH GUSTA F S O N Worcester

Frankenstorm Sandy Is What We Eat Frankenstorm Sandy is one more dramatic demonstration that climate change and its extreme weather patterns are now part of our future. Although we’re unlikely to reverse climate change, we can still mitigate its effects by reducing our driving, our energy use, and our meat consumption.

Yes, meat consumption. A 2006 U.N. report estimated that meat cosumption accounts for 18 percent of man-made greenhouse gases.

A 2009 article in the respected World Watch magazine suggested that it may be closer to 50 percent.

Carbon dioxide, the principal greenhouse gas, is emitted by burning forests to create animal pastures and by combustion of fossil fuels to confine, feed, transport, and slaughter animals and to refrigerate their carcasses. The much more damaging methane and nitrous oxide are discharged from digestive tracts of cattle and from animal waste cesspools, respectively.

We have the power of reducing the devastating effects of climate change every time we eat. Our local supermarket offers a rich variety of soy-based lunch “meats,” hotdogs, veggie burgers, soy and nutbased dairy products (including cheese and ice cream), and an ample selection of traditional vegetables, fruits, grains, and nuts. Product lists, easy recipes, and transition tips are available at livevegan.org.

The Rosen

Report

Will Worcester be compared to Paris again?

A Gary Rosen

lthough I wrote this column prior to Election Day, by publication time all votes should have been counted and the winners declared.

Hopefully we the people made wise choices for president and Congress.

In any case, it’s time for residents and city leaders to shift their attention from Washington back to Worcester. After all, our quality of life is much more dependent on the decisions made by local officials than by our leaders in the U.S. Capitol.

Many good things have been happening here, despite the fact that our city councilors have been busy touring Worcester with political candidates and standing in front of city hall telling us who to vote for.

In these painful economic times, both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service have upgraded the city’s bond ratings to heights that will lower borrowing costs and attract investors.

Although not highly publicized, it’s huge news for residential and commercial taxpayers and for our economic-development officials who work to bring businesses and jobs to the city.

Also, Worcester’s leaders wisely are reviewing and discussing reports on housing policy in the city.

Soon they’ll be making critical decisions on our housing needs for years to come.

While the majority of the council seems to realize that the city has more than met its responsibility to provide affordable housing, developers see money in such construction. Half of the 84 residential apartments that are to be built at the old Worcester Voke school building at Lincoln Square will be affordable units. That’s unfortunate because market-rate housing is what attracts individuals and families with enough spendable income to pay the bills and to support local businesses.

On the development front, downtown Worcester is being transformed. With its new and imposing

Unum and Saint Vincent Cancer Center buildings, CitySquare has become a reality. It’s expected that a hotel, movie theater, retail stores and market-rate condos will follow.

And soon we’ll be able to drive right down Front Street (through the memories of the illfated Galleria/Worcester Common Outlet mall) to Washington Square, where historic Union Station already has seen additional commuter-rail trains on an expanded schedule.

Space at the station will be fit out for the Wormtown Brewing Co. to brew beer. And adjacent to Union Station, the Worcester Regional Transit Authority is constructing an impressive transfer hub that will provide connections among commuter rail, Amtrak, intercity bus, and taxi service (liveries need not apply).

In addition, the Worcester Palladium has escaped demolition and the common’s long-awaited iceskating rink will open soon to the catchy tune “Downtown” by English pop singer Petula Clark.

And for the first time in years, the popular Worcester Public Library is open on Mondays (so now seven days per week). But there has been an ill-advised proposal to convert the library’s much utilized parking lot into an indoor hockey complex.

I think city leaders are wise enough to spare that lot. After all, they recently showed courage by not allowing a handful of residents who evidently love traffic gridlock to stop the necessary expansion of the intersection at Forest and Salisbury streets.

And hallelujah! The council and the manager are finally tired of the proliferation of panhandlers throughout the city. So motorists soon can expect an ordinance banning panhandling and fundraising by youth sports teams at city intersections.

So there’s new enthusiasm, energy and spirit in our beloved city. Let’s just not jinx it by bringing back the trite slogans, City on the Move and Worcester - Paris of the Eighties.

Can South Worcester get some love?

PROMISE OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT STILL ELUSIVE

Barbara Taormina

It takes time to turn a battleship around in the water.

That’s how Ron Charette, director of the South Worcester Neighborhood Improvement Corporation describes the ongoing 18-year push to develop the South Worcester Industrial Park, or SWIP, an 11-acre parcel of vacant commercial

land in a location that’s as prime as prime gets.

SWIP, surrounding Canterbury, Southgate and Armory streets and half a mile from the Port of Worcester, has generated so many headlines, reports, ground breakings and turning points that by now, most Worcester eyes probably glaze over at the mere mention of the place. But Charette, who grew up in South Worcester, is a believer.

“We’re at the point where we’re taking one step back, which is really like taking 10 steps ahead,” he says. “We have a new sense of purpose, we’re starting fresh.”

SWIP first emerged back in 1994, around the time “Who’s The Boss” sitcom star Judith Light was out hawking the Worcester Common Outlet mall, the

massive downtown shopping center that that had originally opened in 1971 as the Worcester Center Galleria.

The Worcester Redevelopment Authority (WRA) launched the Galleria with the hope of beating back years of industrial and economic decline that had hit all of New England’s manufacturing centers and mill towns. The WRA worked hand in hand with developers, and a huge piece of downtown was ripped out to make way for the mall. Indoor malls were new to most of Massachusetts back in the ’70s, and the Galleria had some good years.

But by the early ’80s, the retail whale was sinking toward insolvency.

Worcester Common Outlets was a second chance to get the project right and keep the city on the road to economic

recovery. In 1994, Worcester seemed to be feeling a rush of revitalization and SWIP was added to the lineup of the city’s comeback.

Over the past 18 years, Worcester’s downtown megamall has failed a second time and is now in the middle of its third redevelopment. SWIP, on the other hand, has remained vacant.

But the timing might be right for SWIP. The economy is forcing a tighter watch on all public spending and some feel economic development dollars aren’t adding up.

The original purpose of public economic development was to invest in older, disadvantaged communities and neighborhoods that were abandoned

by industries that left to find cheaper labor, and by residents who headed out to the suburbs. Over time, economic development has expanded its scope and some argue the original goals have been pushed aside to make way for higher-end projects.

The Worcester Center was an urban renewal project that targeted older buildings in downtown. The city invested $25 million in the first mall, $50 million for the Common Outlet makeover and now, another $94 million is going into creating CitySquare with its offices, upscale retail space and a proposed luxury hotel.

Meanwhile, further down Main Street, about $8 million has been spent on rehabilitating SWIP in order to bring jobs and opportunity back to South Worcester.

SWIP’S SLOW START

Despite the big swath of empty, hard-core urban space, there’s been a lot of ongoing work taking place at SWIP.

“It took time to get the titles to all the different pieces of property,” says Paul Morano, the city’s director of business assistance, an arm of the Executive Office of Economic Development.

And then there was the cleanup.

“There have been a lot of roadway and infrastructure improvements,” says Morano, who adds the last of the demolition work was recently completed.

Tons of soil contaminated with PCBs, oil and other hazardous chemicals were removed along with underground storage tanks and other types of industrial debris.

At one point, the work was delayed while state historians reviewed the site of the Adriatic Mill, the city’s oldest surviving mill building.

Ron Charette stands on the edge of South Worcester Industrial Park with silos in the background that he says will eventually be torn down.

But the problem hasn’t been just the amount of work needed to rehabilitate the site.

During the early years of SWIP, the city’s community development managers were talking about a new cluster of businesses that would hire more than 1,700 local workers and generate $45 million in payroll. And when years started passing by with nothing going up at SWIP, people started getting impatient.

Charette says SWIP has suffered from overly broad ideas. “We never had a clear and articulated vision of the types of businesses that would come here,” he says. “Now, we’re finally coming together to create a master plan and a sense of purpose.”

That might have been what the members of the SWIP Citizens Participation Committee were saying back in 2000. South Worcester residents, businesses, property owners, and city

leaders spent 18 months hammering out a conceptual master plan that was presented to the city council at a public hearing at Sacred Heart Church on Cambridge Street on June 25, 2001.

Back then, SWIP was part of a 68acre mixed-use development that would reclaim old, commercial-industrial sites, create jobs and generate new tax revenue.

But Paul Morano, the city’s director of business assistance, says that plan was built on the assumption that the city would be able to access urban renewal funding that wasn’t forthcoming.

So SWIP was scaled down. First to about 25 acres, and then ultimately to its current 11 acres that are good to go for revitalization.

“What we need now is a master plan that looks at the types of businesses we should be courting,” says Charette.

“We need to figure out what we want to be: should we be industrial, biotech,

nanotech?”

And to sell SWIP, the city has to know who it’s talking to. “As part of the vision or master plan, one of the initiatives is to complete a market survey,” says Morano.

{ coverstory } already knows. According to some, manufacturing has changed and the heavy industry that used to be the heart of SWIP isn’t coming back.

And the manufacturing renaissance that many hope will be the foundation of a legitimate economic recovery hasn’t quite kicked in yet. Manufacturing has seen some growth, but it’s been slow and fragile.

“I don’t see a groundswell of manufacturing right now,” says Jack Healy, director of the Worcester-based Massachusetts Manufacturing Extension Partnership, which is part of a national network of business centers that support local industries. “You have to manufacture something of high value,” he continues. “You can’t do paper or textiles anymore.”

Healy says one problem for SWIP has been the goal to use the park to help create a large number of entry-level jobs. He says basic-skills manufacturing doesn’t exist anymore, and any potential workforce needs training and advanced skills.

“You can’t fit the location to meet the needs of the neighborhood,” he says.

Morano also acknowledges that today’s manufacturing jobs require skilled workers, but adds that if local residents need training, companies could work with local institutions, particularly Worcester Technical High School, to create programs that prepare students for those jobs.

As for the park itself, Healy sees some real advantages with SWIP. “I don’t care what the business is, you have to have really good sources of power,” he says, adding SWIP is on “the grid” and can offer that. He also sees the access to Clark and WPI as strengths.

“The site is adjacent to the rail yard and that might become more and more valuable over time,” he says, adding that right now the rail system’s connections aren’t as good as they could be. Like others, he sees the potential for SWIP to

Charette says the SWIP Task Force needs to start thinking more like a business in order to bring business to South Worcester. The land itself might be an ideal location with easy access to rail and roads, but there needs to be a little more on the SWIP brochure.

Healy, who has lots of statistics at his fingertips, says out of the roughly 7,000 manufacturers in Massachusetts only 16 employ more than 1,000 people. Roughly 91 percent of those companies have a payroll of fewer than 40 employees.

“The trend is with small businesses that produce high value-added products,” he points out, adding that the one sector in manufacturing that has seen steady gains is clean-energy tech.

“I think there’s an opportunity if you position it right for a clean-energy tech park,” he says. “A lot of companies want to reduce their energy costs; there’s a need for that.”

Charette says the SWIP Task Force is already talking about the idea of a business center where small start-ups with similar goals and needs can share space and resources.

“We’re getting away from the grandiose mentality of big companies filling big spaces,” he says, adding that SWIP might be a place to build small and slow. “We have been looking at the idea of business condos where small companies share a receptionist and a conference room.

There can also be additional spaces for

manufacturing that could expand when needed. That might be part of SWIP.” Charette says the cash outlay for startups would be minimal, and the condo model, which has been successful in other places might encourage local entrepreneurs.

“We’re trying to think outside the box,” he says.

The SWIP Task Force recently raised a few eyebrows and set off some chortling when members mentioned they were considering a name change. Instead of South Worcester Industrial Park, which carries the image of heavy industry like Standard Foundry and Crompton and Knowles, the group thought South Worcester Innovation Park might be a better fit.

“We want to be innovative,” says Charette. “We want to be competitive with other parks.”

“We need to look at incentives,” he says. “What does it take for us to bring you here? What do we need to put on the table? We have ideas, but nothing conclusive.”

Today, many businesses expect a range of incentives that includes tax breaks and credits, low-interest loans, and grants.

One of the most common incentives is a Tax Increment Financing agreement, or TIF, a typically generous break on local property taxes that can last for up to 20 years.

Cities and towns have used tax breaks to pump up economic growth for decades, but TIFs have become a regular part of doing business since the creation of the Massachusetts Economic Development Incentive Program in 1993. In exchange for setting up shop and creating jobs, the EDIP helps businesses arrange TIFs with cities and town. Some businesses are also eligible for tax credits from the state.

The EDIP was meant to encourage job growth in neighborhoods like South Worcester that have been hurt particularly continued on page 14

hard after years of economic decline. But that goal was quickly swept under the rug, and by the late ’90s, entrepreneurs with business plans for boutiques in affluent suburbs and major corporations with wide profit margins were walking away with the same tax breaks as businesses that were committed to opening up job opportunities in some of the state’s poorest cities and towns.

According to MassPIRG (Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group), in 2011, roughly $200 million in local and state tax credits were granted to 37 businesses that promised to create 2,475 new jobs.

The 2012 EDIP list had 92 businesses looking for more than $2 billion in tax breaks.

The TIFs now active in Worcester include a 10-year agreement worth about $9.8 million for St. Vincent Hospital, a 15- year TIF for Siemens Industry worth about $2.3 million, a $514,553 TIF that runs for 12 years for Magmotor Technologies and the Hannover Theatre’s seven-year TIF worth roughly $2.7 million.

And then there’s the $94 million package of incentives to help build CitySquare in a second generation of TIFs called DIFs, or District Improvement Financing.

While some incentives have helped create success stories like WPI’s biotech center, Gateway Park, critics of the system say some businesses have taken advantage of the breaks and siphoned revenue away from local budgets. According to MassPIRG, tax breaks hit local budgets in the same way as direct spending, and TIFs can lead to tax increases for the entire community or program cuts.

And the accountability of TIFs is close to nil. The state has only recently started publishing a list of TIFs, and it can be difficult to find information on whether businesses have delivered on job promises or other benefits.

Some people have also questioned the fairness of allowing new ventures to flourish with TIFs and tax credits while established businesses that might have years of job creation under their belts pay the going commercial tax rate, which in Worcester, is high, compared to surrounding towns.

Last year, State Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Acton) and Rep. Carl Sciortino (D-Medford) sponsored the Act to Promote Efficiency and Transparency in Economic Development, a bill that would require businesses that receive economicdevelopment breaks to report the number of jobs they’ve created, as well as the salaries and benefits of those positions.

Companies have two years to produce jobs, otherwise the state will rescind, or claw back a portion of the incentive.

The bill also calls for a cap of $35,000 in breaks for every fulltime job that’s created. The bill has been winding its way around the statehouse and is now in the hands of the Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies.

A GOING RATE

Peter Kovago knows the real estate landscape in Worcester. The former bank VP has been a commercial real estate broker at Glickman Kovago & Company for the past 12 years.

Kovago says sales of commercial buildings for light manufacturing and warehousing have been slow, and there are sites available. But Kovago doesn’t think SWIP will be facing a lot of tough competition.

“We are land starved in the city,” he says. “That’s one of the few locations still around.”

And the current stock of existing manufacturing plants and buildings probably won’t lure any potential buyers away from the idea of building something in South Worcester.

“While there’s a lot of vacancy out

{ coverstory } there, there’s not a lot of modern highquality industrial space,” he says.

Like others, Kovago says it’s hard to beat SWIP’s location. And if someone does want to build, he thinks there are reasons to take a look at SWIP. “I’m sure if there are TIFs available, it’s an incentive, at least theoretically,” he says.

It’s theoretical because, like just about every other person who owns a business in Worcester, Kovargo says the city’s dual property tax rate that was set last May at $16.98 per $1,000 valuation for homeowners and $29.07 per $1,000 for commercial-industrial property has been hobbling businesses.

There are a few other communities in Massachusetts that have higher commercial-industrial tax rates than Worcester, but not many. And most of the nearby cities and towns have single rates that are significantly lower. Kovago says when businesses look at Shrewsbury’s rate of $11.11 it’s hard to make the case for investing in Worcester.

Kovago, who blogs about local commercial property and business issues, figures Worcester’s split rate is here to stay.

“It would place a huge burden on the residential base and would be politically devastating for any city councilor voting in favor of elimination,” he says.

But this year, the council voted to take a small step toward closing the gap between the two rates, and that’s good news for businesses and potential developments like SWIP.

years of talk and not a dime in private funding, the PharmaSphere deal fell apart.

“PharmaSphere happened out of the exuberance everyone was feeling,” says Charette. “We were blinded by the light.

We were listening to their stories and a lot of it seemed like it was plausible.”

Charette says the new master plan for SWIP will include a timeline and stringent requirements for any businesses receiving incentives. “From the neighborhood’s perspective, the priority is jobs,” he says.

“We have a large workforce that can walk to work.”

But Charette says SWIP’s success will depend on more than just its new plan and vision. “We need a champion,” he says. “Someone to say, ‘I’m taking charge, I’m the one who’s going to make it happen.’”

Charette says there’s a range of people, from City Councilor Sarai Rivera to U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern who are in SWIP’s corner. And everyone is talking up location, access to a highly educated workforce from the city’s colleges and universities, and financial incentives to continued on page 16

MOVING FORWARD SWIP is currently cut into five large lots, but Morano says those sites can also be split into multiple parcels rather than large blocks of land.

But back in 2007, the city seemed to be thinking on bigger terms. The hope was to launch SWIP by getting something going on 49 Canterbury St. Once something was up and running, others would follow.

RFPs were put out, and two companies bid on the site.

Absolute Machine, a local company with a proven track record and a plant operating close by on Gardner Street bid $50,000 for the first piece of SWIP. PharmaSphere, a biotech startup with a plan to grow medicinal plants in plastic balls, a convoluted corporate structure and a keen sense of how to tap the deepest pockets of public-development funding, bid $1 for the Canterbury Street site.

The city went with PharmaSphere. In addition to offering the company the land, the city agreed to $2.6 million in loans.

MassDevelopment and Massachusetts Housing Investment Corp. were also in with big chunks of money. But after three

show just how competitive a site SWIP is with other commercial real estate.

But SWIP has one other trump card. According to a study from the Latino Education Institute at Worcester State, the city’s Latino population, which is centered in the Main South neighborhood, is significantly younger than the rest of the city.

By next year, 43 percent of that population, which is estimated to grow to about 37,000, will be younger than 24 years old. Roughly 57 percent will be younger than 34.

SWIP is surrounded by youth, a priceless natural resource. And that may end up being SWIP’s most valuable incentive.

IT’S BIG BUSINESS TO ATTRACT BUSINESS

IFs are just the tip of an incentive iceberg aimed at promoting economic growth.

Green-energy credits, HUD loans, permitting waivers, workforce training are all part of the economic-development incentive showcase that communities use to entice businesses.

While critics usually refer to the incentives as subsidies, in the economic-development world, they are usually called a toolkit. And Worcester has a battalion of professional economic developers who help entrepreneurs, large and small, learn how to handle those tools.

According to the 2013 city budget, Worcester’s Executive Office of Economic Development has 34 people working to foster economic growth and opportunities. The Worcester Means Business Guide lists the different types of services and incentives available to businesses. Taxpayers contribute about $1.1 million to the city’s economic development efforts, while some salaries and expenses are covered by the federal and state grants that staff members help businesses access.

The city’s 2011 economic development year in review touts accomplishments like the $514,553 TIF that was arranged for Magmotors, a manufacturing company that moved from Shrewsbury to Coppage Drive in Worcester. In an interview with another area news outlet, Magmotors says they appreciated the tax break, but they were coming anyway because they wanted more space and better access to Worcester’s workforce.

The city’s Economic Development Office has surely helped bring business and jobs to Worcester. And while neighborhood community-development corporations and organizations have received steady support, the lion’s share of the energy and spending seems focused on the large-scale projects that are creating a downtown environment that complements the valuable high tech, biotech, and medical industries that have settled in over the past decade.

In 2010, the nonprofit Worcester Business Development Corporation, reported $1.8 million in revenues from program services, grants and investments earned while the organization promoted economic development and job creation. Salaries and benefits for WBDC’s 10-member staff were $1.1 million with then president David Forsberg taking home $235,000 in regular pay and $42,000 in other compensation and then-VP and current president Craig Blais earning $167,000 with another $41,000 in added compensation.

The Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce promotes business and touts the various government incentives available to businesses on its website. In 2010, the chamber reported $1.3 million in income, $983,000 of which went to pay salaries including $156,000 for the organization’s executive director.

MassDevelopment, the state’s economic-development arm works closely with those and other local organizations through its Worcester office. In 2010, MassDevelopment helped channel $1.4 billion to 238 projects throughout the state.

Around 200 people work for the agency, which has taken some heat for some salaries.

Last year, commercial real estate executive Marty Jones took over for outgoing director Robert Culver who was earning $299,000 a year. Jones salary was set at $215,000.

Soft Balls Matt Robert

It takes some serious balls to call your band The Balls, but, then again, The Balls have lots of balls! They’ve been a sensation since their first gigs over a decade ago, and though the band has left and come back, changed their sound and personnel, they still deliver the most outrageous show in town, and, perhaps, just about anywhere. (Bassist Wayno calls it “controlled sexual stage chaos.”)

Frontman (to call him “singer” really doesn’t capture it) Andrei “The General” Krutov is a force – sort of G.G. Allin meets Jerry Lee Lewis meets an atomic bomb – bringing punk to new highs and lows. He delights in brutal, puerile, sexually charged punk, inciting and interacting physically with the crowd as the band (Jon Ho [Jon Wensky], drums; Wayno [Wayne Winslow], guitar; and Johnny Ace [Brian Hoffman], bass) lay down double-barrel garage rock – fast, tight, and straight, on unapologetic ditties, like their legendary “Shiny Nipple,” “Razor Burn,” and “Sucky Laundromat.” If Pussy Riot got thrown in prison for their music, I suspect a much

harsher fate would await The Balls in the Gulag.

“Fan participation is key,” says Wayno, “and our fans are as motley as it comes. Most of all, our passion for playing music shows when we play.”

This weekend, though, The Balls hope to show their softer side – the softer side of their balls, if you will – in a special, intimate acoustic show at Vincent’s that they will dedicate to their late local music compadre, Scott Ricciuti, who passed away in the spring of 2012 in a car accident. (See “Scott Ricciuti 1963 – 2012,” in the April 11, 2012 issue.)

Wayno says that the band is “going more Johnny Cash/ rockabilly for this show,” and promises that “The General will be telling stories of his Russian youth and rather perverted times of his life, as well.” These stories, according to a Facebook post, include adventures in “motel hot-tub sex” and “doing it in a walk-in freezer” and other legendary exploits that got Krutov in great trouble during his school days in Soviet-era Russia, such as performing an English version of “Smoke on the Water.”

The dedication to Scott, Wayno says, is because “we miss him dearly. He always treated us like the rock star we knew he was.” The Balls fought in the same musical trenches night after night that Scott knew better than anyone, having spent the better part of his life working area clubs. And though the two acts may seem to have been fighting for different armies, Scott’s high energy,

punk-sweat live persona has much in common with Krutov’s. “It went deeper than just the drunken ‘I love you, man’ at the end of the night,” Wayno says. “He knew the scene needed contrast and always found a compliment for you.”

Though Wayno hasn’t been in The Balls that long, he has “been playing in this scene for 25-plus years,” he says, and has “jumped up with [Scott’s longtime band] Huck a few times.”

Friday’s Vincent’s show will not be a tribute. Longtime band member Brian Hoffman says that the plan is not to cover Scott’s songs, but rather simply to play a show with him in mind, including mutual friends from the scene, such as Deb Beaudry from Group Action, who Wayno says “will be doing a few covers with us,” and, according to Brian, Scott’s close friend Michael Thibodeau, who “will sit in on mandolin.”

The volume will be lower, but Balls fans shouldn’t be worried. Despite the venue, Wayno assures us that they “play the same now as when we we’re in our twenties.”

“The General,” he says, “is a legend and can hump any crowd into submission. Even if you don’t like the music, you leave entertained.”

Catch The Balls when they play their acoustic set at Vincent’s, 49 Suffolk Street, Worcester on Friday Nov. 9 at 8 p.m.

Local bands and an indie-rock legend Ghost Ocean, Jonah’s Onelinedrawing, Save Ends, Pro Re Nata and Stepan Slik Josh Lyford

Worcester has been going through a bit of a musical renaissance these days (unfortunately sans puffy pants and outrageous hats) and on Friday, Nov. 9, we have the opportunity to see some of the fruits of Central Massachusetts’ labor at the famed Lucky Dog Music Hall on Green Street.

The show, put on by promoter John McIntyre, puts a couple local bands, who have been slaying lately, alongside a musical legend, Jonah Matranga from Far, New End Original and Gratitude performing as Jonah’s Onelinedrawing.

brings you back to a different era, a little bit post-hardcore, a little bit rhythmic rock ’n’ roll. “We started the band in 2008 and it took a while for us to figure out what we wanted to do,” says guitarist Matt Killoran. “I think now that we have 2 records out and we’ve played a bunch of shows, more people are catching on.”

Even with all of the headway that Ghost Ocean has made, they maintain an admiration for musician Jonah Matranga.

“We are mostly excited to be playing with such an indie-rock legend like Jonah,” says Ghost Ocean bassist TJ Cox. “His music has been a major inspiration for us. And to be able to share the stage with him along with our good friends Stepan Slik, Save Ends, and Pro Re Nata is a great honor.”

Jonah Matranga has been releasing music in various projects, such as Far,

largely stagnant music scene? “Don’t call it a comeback! Worcester’s been here for years!” exclaims promoter John McIntyre. “No, seriously though, ever since I was a young kid growing up in the scene, Worcester has always had a very awesome, very hands-on, scene. It’s different than Boston or other cities; it’s definitely the community this whole punk rock thing is supposed to be. There are always good bands from Worcester.”

Good bands like Pro Re Nata. Worcester Mag featured them earlier this year as an up-and-coming local band, and they have only tightened up their music since then. Having released their five-song EP “Habits” earlier this fall, they have been hitting it hard ever since. “We are always stoked to play a hometown show with friends,” says drummer PJ Guertin.

shouldn’t be understated either, their pop rock sound is a tsunami of radical, and you’ll have a hard time not enjoying your Narragansett in double-time.

“Aside from this being a solid line-up of friends on this show, getting a chance to play with Onelinedrawing is not something I would have ever guessed would come along,” says guitarist and vocalist Christine Atturio. “Far and Onelinedrawing are two musical projects that personally influenced me when I started to come into my own writing music. I can’t tell you how many times I covered “Yr Letter” (Onelinedrawing song) at open mic nights in college.”

Save Ends’ standout EP, “Strength Vs. Will,” is like an uncaged tiger that, really, just wants to dance.

Make sure to get to the show early

A Novel Challenge

Who Will Be 2012’s PERSON OF THE YEAR?

National Novel Writing Month has arrived Beginning last week, on November 1, people all over the world embarked on a journey to write a 50,000word novel in the span of 30 days. National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo for short, began with only 21 participating writers in 1999 and has grown to more than 256,618 participants as of last year. Presently Worcester County is home to more than 1, 000 of these writers who will spend the rest of this month caffeinating themselves to points of recklessness while racing the calendar to complete this excursion by the deadline: November 30.

to write an original 50,000 word novel in 30 days. Writers must start from scratch, though outlines are OK to use. They may decide to start preparing characters and a plot months ahead of time, but the first word of the story can’t be typed until the clock strikes midnight on November 1. There must be only one author of the novel, and when finished, it’s uploaded to the NaNoWriMo website (NaNoWriMo. org) to get a validated word count. There are no judges and there are no prizes. The greatest reward is being able to hold the rough draft of one’s own novel. In the end, whether participants win or lose, they have done something amazing to show for the time they have spent on it.

If you want to get involved now,

hile Joseph Stalin exterminated his enemies and imposed his will on every facet of Soviet life, a man named Igor Savitsky quietly defied the dictator, one painting at a time.

Savitsky, a devoted collector of modern art, saved 40,000 pieces from being destroyed by the government, via a method that, if uncovered, would certainly have led to his execution. This audacious gentleman tricked the government into giving him the money to purchase the banned avantgarde artworks, and then spirited them to a museum of his own creation in a sandy corner of Uzbekistan, 1,700 miles from Moscow.

His efforts consumed him, at the expense of everything else in his life.

The Savitsky saga is revealed in all its glorious detail in the documentary “The Desert of Forbidden Art,” a wonderful bit of history mingled with an art appreciation lesson.

Here, we have the unlikeliest of heroes, a sometime archaeologist and a fulltime fan of some of the most brilliant, yet obscure, painters in all of the Soviet Union, who defied a brutal regime to give them an opportunity to shine. Through interviews with the children and friends of some of these artists, we learn that Savitsky possessed an uncanny ability to sniff out talent in hidden places, and the wiliness to convince the painters to unconditionally turn over their treasures to him.

Truly, they had little choice. Stalin only would allow art that promoted state-sponsored ideals — propaganda pieces depicting smiling farmers and factory workers joyously producing goods for the people. Under his watchful

eye, sweatshops were made to look like Saturday Evening Post covers. Meanwhile, artists who created gritty true-life portraits of Soviet life, or who exhibited any sort of modernist sensibilities in their imagery, were either shunned or actively persecuted.

Directors Tchavdar Georgiev and Amanda Pope make use of an impressive bounty of archival photographs of Savitsky and his stable of artists as well as Stalin-era film footage to give us insight into their lives under communist rule. The paintings that emerged from this oppressive environment are stunning — like flowers working their way through cracks in the concrete. The people were resilient and driven, creating masterpieces they knew had little chance of being publicly displayed or earning them a dime, and that very well could land them in a gulag.

“The Desert of Forbidden Art” is the latest in a long string of fabulous art documentaries presented by Cinema 320, taking its place among the likes of “The Art of the Steal,” “Herb & Dorothy” and “Rivers and Tides.” Igor Savitsky was a one-of-a-kind patron operating under the radar to preserve thousands of treasures that, sadly, are once again being threatened by a variety of forces, from the museum’s lack of climate control to the encroaching influence of the Taliban from nearby Afghanistan.

As an art lover, Igor Savitsky was one of a kind — has anyone else in recorded history gone to such reckless extremes to save paintings? But he also seemed to like a good joke, especially the one he pulled on Stalin.

The Desert of Forbidden Art will be shown at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday and Saturday, and at 1 and 2:40 p.m. on Sunday in the Jefferson Academic Center at Clark University as part of the Cinema 320 film series.

Bringing Mexico to Main Street Zoe Dee

Playa del Carmen Mexican Restaurant is a cozy escape from traditional New England pizzerias, offering a balance between our region’s hankering for comfort food and ingredients of authentic Mexican cuisine.

Under new ownership of David Brambila, the restaurant features recipes Brambila brings from where he grew up in Guadalajara, Mexico, to the restaurant’s location on Main Street in Holden.

Appetizers are seemingly priced high, ranging from guacamole dip for $7 to a shrimp sauté for $12.50, but the Shrimp Dip that my date, Adam, and I started with was well worth the $9.25, as it

was our favorite dish of the night. The creamy melted cheese mixed with a hearty amount of diced shrimp and just the right amount of pico de gallo was served warm with tortilla chips on the side. As the dip slowly cooled to a thicker consistency, it kept its flavorful balance of cheese and spiciness.

The menu offers soups and salads, all of which include a meat of some sort, but those wishing to skip the carne will be pleased to find a vegetarian section on the menu that features six very different entrées.

The Veggie Fajita is an enormous display of steaming vegetables: onions, mushrooms, peppers, zucchini, carrots and pea pods with three tortillas (corn or flour) and black beans and rice served with sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, a tomato slice and shredded cheese. The beans and rice, grilled vegetables and soft flour tortillas,

all served warm, are separated by plates from the fresh toppings, keeping the lettuce and tomato cool and crisp and the guacamole and sour cream a nice cool temperature that balances well with the rest of the ingredients.

For meat eaters, the menu is divided first by dish type (fajitas, tacos, burritos, etc.) then by type of meat (pork, chicken,

seafood and steak). Adam’s order of the Ixtapa Chimichanga has the option to be made with either fajita-style chicken or steak. Adam chose chicken and was pleasantly surprised by the large amounts of tender pieces inside the deep fried burrito covered in a red sauce and melted cheese. Refried beans topped with melted cheese, rice, guacamole and sour cream were served on the side.

While neither the fajita or chimichanga entrées are as spicy as many authentic Mexican restaurants typically serve the dish, both are made with fresh ingredients and the large portions make take-home containers a requirement.

The service at Playa del Carmen is outstanding from the crispy tortilla chips and salsa served almost immediately after being seated to the bits of Spanish tossed into conversation throughout the evening, ending with “buenos noches” as our server thanked us for coming in.

The dip appetizer, two entrées and two margaritas totaled the bill to $48 before tax. For a night out with stellar service at a local restaurant that will warm you with spicy salsa and strong margaritas, visit Playa del Carmen in Holden.

Bell’s performance follows a private dinner featuring salad, coq au vin and carrot cake. Tickets are $75 ($50 for members) and include dinner, absinthe tasting and Bell’s performance.

Hidden in a corner on Millbury Avenue in Millbury is a small, adorable cupcake shop that you do not want to miss.

Specializing in just cupcakes, The Queen’s Cups had a case full of beautiful surprises that looked so good, we broke down and bought a half dozen.

Our selection included strawberry lemonade, hot fudge sundae, apple pie, double chocolate chip, chocolate fudge, and fluffernutter. All of them were outstanding.

With the basics, all had a moist cake and rich frosting with a texture suited for the flavor, and the size was PHOTO FROM INSTAGRAM/RENEE KING moderate to accommodate the filling many of them had. I was especially intrigued with the fluffernutter, as it tasted like stepping into childhood summers with the marshmallow and peanut butter. My cotasters were particularly taken by the strawberry lemonade and the apple pie. The strawberry lemonade had fresh strawberries in the middle of a zingy lemon cake with lemon zest in the frosting. Following Karl’s surprised pause after tasting the apple pie was his exclamation, “It really does taste just like apple pie!” Not to say the others weren’t also amazing, but these three stood out as the best of the best - and flavors we have not had elsewhere.

So, if you’re looking for an extra special cupcake treat, definitely take the trip out to Millbury’s The Queen’s Cups.

Keep it Legal

Kathy Griffin Earlier this year, Tim Murray showed up at the annual St. Patrick’s Day breakfast roast of politicians sporting racing gear.

If he’s planning on catching comedian Kathy Griffin at the Hanover Theatre on Sunday, Nov. 11 “Crash” Murray may want to bring a helmet. “Oh, yeah, I know the whole story. I don’t know if I’m going to lead with him, but he might just come up in the conversation,” Griffin says of the lieutenant governor, who famously wrecked his state-issued vehicle last November in an early-morning crash after reaching speeds in excess of 100 mph.

Griffin is no shrinking violet. Her language mirrors her spitfire personality. If you’re reading this or going to see her in person, know this: the f-bombs will fly, and there may even be an occasional “c” word. Political correctness is a concept completely foreign to Griffin, who has appeared on her own HBO special, guest starred on “ER” and quite memorably on “Seinfeld” as Jerry’s nemesis, Sally Weaver, and more recently on Bravo’s “Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List.” Death, cancer, AIDS – nothing is off limits.

Do you make a point to learn about the area where you’re going to do a show?

Absolutely. I mean I’m on your website right now and I’m looking at a picture of your team with my friend, Ron Jeremy. Let me tell you something, I am friends with Ron Jeremy and believe it or not I’ve never seen one of his movies. I’m not like a big porn person. He was on “My Life on the D List.” When I was walking down the street with him, I actually had guys, who were with their girlfriends, come up to him and lovingly say, “Hey, if you ever want to get it on with my girlfriend that’s totally cool with me, dude. You’re a rock star.” He’s actually had Thanksgiving at my house with my family. I was actually fascinated by this concept that you like porn and therefore you’re willing to offer up your lady to someone you don’t know, not unlike the Hulk Hogan sex-tape scandal, which I’ve been following.

Is there any topic off limits for Kathy Griffin? No, there’s not. When I started

out someone told me there were these rules in standup — you never make jokes about cancer, you never make jokes about AIDS — and then I started doing shows at AIDS hospices and working with a lot of people in the LBGT community suffering from AIDS, and I found out they laughed the hardest at the most outrageous joke. I found after doing this so long that often people that are in dire situations, they kind of need to hear an outrageous joke more than anybody. When I went to Iraq and Afghanistan, they kind of put all

these rules on me about not offending a religious group and not offending the officers. I was kind of going along doing my thing, the first time I started swearing and making fun of the officers they loved it.

George Carlin once did a skit on rape.

Is no topic sacred for a comedian? Not

for me because I think once you start getting all precious and deciding what is and what isn’t sacred you start losing an audience perspective about things you should be able to laugh about. I actually think you have to and should be able to laugh about truly anything.

Comedian Adrienne Lapalucci was recently pulled off stage during a fundraiser in Boston. What do you think about that? OK, first of all, I don’t

feel like I’ve even done my job until I have walkouts. I love a good walkout, I’m expecting a few in Worcester, I’m hoping for a few. I mean of all markets, Worcester. My God, Vinnie Favarito very famously had a woman in a wheelchair heckling him and wheeled her out on the curb and the audience applauded. I mean give me a break, Worcester of all places? I think you guys can handle it. But I will say at a fundraiser people can be very precious.

I have a long history of bombing at very uptight, black-tie events. The funny thing is they keep coming back.

What’s the biggest bomb you’ve ever had? In Worcester at the Comedy Palace. I wrote about this in my freakin’ book. I’m telling you I did.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Two minutes with...

There was some guy that used to have these two clubs and one was a Chinese restaurant. I was hired to do the club in Worcester and then the Chinese restaurant in whatever is the nearby town. And I bombed so bad that they actually replaced me with a woman that was called the Hip Hypnotist, and she would hypnotize a girl in the audience to give a blowjob to a banana live on stage and she fucking killed, I mean the audience loved it. I mean I was a headliner, and I was relegated to playing the diner in the Worcester Comedy Palace.

How close are you in reality to Sally Weaver? I certainly was more than

happy, I’m still more than happy, to tell Jerry (Seinfeld) he’s the devil. I ran into his manager, George Shapiro, last week and I said, “Please remind Jerry he’s the devil,” and his manager said, very seriously, “Oh get over it.”

Like he didn’t know I was still kidding.

But I’m happy to tell Jerry Seinfeld he’s the devil at any moment because, hopefully, it will make him laugh. The reason he is actually so special to me and means so much to me, at least in my career, is he really was the first real A-lister to actually get the joke. When I made fun of him in my HBO special back in the day, based on meeting him, he really thought it was funny … that’s how I got to do my second episode of “Seinfeld,” because they thought it was funny that I was giving Jerry so much shit and of course that’s a show predicated on people giving each other shit. I’ve always been extremely grateful to him because of that.

How do you handle hecklers? I usually have the audience govern themselves.

I tell them it’s a true democracy. Often when I’m on stage, I mean I’m not sure of the capacity at the Hanover, but I want to say it’s about maybe 1,500. So when you have a venue that size, often the way the sound is bouncing around, if I hear a heckler I can’t always tell where they are from the stage, so usually what I’ll do is …

I’ll just stop and say, “OK, whoever is around that person you guys have to kind of take care of that person.”

I will say, typically, I really don’t get heckled in the typical way, which is, it’s not so much if I’m doing a show I get heckled by someone yelling, “You suck” or something, it’s more like somebody’s who’s enthusiastic and will

just randomly start yelling, “Talk about Cher” or “What about Miley Cyrus?”

It’s not really the typical, like, back in my Worcester Comedy Palace Days when they were just yelling things, like, “Where are the jokes?” Now it’s more of a drunken enthusiasm and if it does disrupt the show I will absolutely have to pounce.

What can we expect from your show in Worcester? I think you should expect

more swearing than you’ve ever heard on that theater stage at once. I think with that Worcester crowd, there’s kind of nothing those guys haven’t heard.

Certainly, nothing is off limits. I think I will be making fun of everything from, whatever place I went to lunch to in Worcester that day, to Britney Spears sitting on the judge’s panel of “The X Factor.” Most importantly, whatever personal experiences I’ve had with this celebrity or that celebrity. I like to kind of rip the veil off Hollywood and pop culture in general.
