{insidestoriesstories}}First and foremost, congratulations to all the winners from the entire

Worcester Mag staff!From the end of last year to mid-February this year, behind-the-scenes

of Best of Worcester 2013 was a fl urry of “do we keep this category” and “which categories do we add?” to our creative designer, a true veteran of 12 Best of Worcester contests, Kim Vasseur, putting her knuckles to the keyboard creating logos and fl yers to encourage you all to vote. The level of excitement and

anticipation to tally the fi nal votes was comparable to that on the fl oor below our offi ce when Jose Murphy’s

turns into a dance club and shakes the whole building – I know, I’ve been here

Fridays at 11 p.m.Businesses and individuals have been criticized by their competition for using tactics to stack up votes and turning the reader’s poll into a popularity contest. I’ve seen it fi rsthand – emails asking to vote and going as far as giving a single suggestion in enough

other categories for their ballot to count; receipts that encourage

“Vote for us at worcestermag.com/best-of-worcester,” and my iPhone

has lit up with Instagram alerts notifying me that a business has tagged @

worcestermag in a social media promotion to vote for them. I said it on the Hank Stolz show

a couple months ago, and I’ll say it again: It’s a positive thing for the city to be excited about the contest — even if that means vying for votes — and I like to believe that voters would not cast a vote for someplace or someone if they didn’t really believe it is or they are the best.

This year there are some legendary winners, but look to the Legislator and New Retail categories for some new faces. I have a feeling many of you will have something to say about the results, so take a look at this year’s Best of Worcester 2013 and send me a letter with your opinions at [email protected] or 101 Water St., Worcester, MA 01604.

Again, congratulations to all the winners!

Council gives green light to slots agreementWalter Bird Jr.

There were signs. There were people – well over 100 of them. There were passionate demonstration, fact-

based arguments and heartfelt pleas with city councilors not to take one more step toward bringing a slots parlor to Worcester. In the end, though, offi cials gave City Manager Mike O’Brien the go-ahead to negotiate a community host agreement with casino developer Neil Bluhm.

On a 9-2 vote, roughly three hours after the fi rst public testimony over a proposed $240 million slots development started in a standing-room-only council chambers – and only after each councilor took a turn addressing the controversial proposal by Bluhm’s Rush Street Gaming – the council offered its recommendation to negotiate the agreement. Once it is done, and depending on whether O’Brien tells them it is worth pursuing, councilors will then set a date for a citywide referendum. Before he brings an agreement to the council, however, O’Brien has been asked to provide, in less than 30 days, information on the potential economic, health and public safety impacts of a slots parlor.

One of the biggest elephants in the room Tuesday night was where exactly councilors stand on whether a slots parlor belongs in Worcester. A couple – Sarai Rivera and Konnie Lukes, the two who voted against the host agreement – have already made their feelings clear. Most, however, have said it is up to the voters

to decide. On Tuesday, some councilors, including Mayor Joe Petty, said once they have more information, they will make their feelings crystal clear.

“The question comes to, is this the right proposal for the city? I’ll be honest, I have no idea,” District 5 Councilor Bill Eddy says. “I have absolutely no idea because we haven’t seen a proposal. We will have the developer in (Wednesday night) to make a presentation. Won’t have Richard Friedman to talk about the hotel, but I expect we’ll have Mr. Friedman here soon to talk about the hotel. We need to get reports in the next 30 days to see what the impacts will be. When I have that information, I’ll be happy to take a position on this proposal, not about gaming, but about this proposal.”

Bluhm was expected to unveil some of the specifi cs surrounding the proposed slots parlor at a joint meeting of the Economic Development and Public Safety committees Wednesday night. Friedman, a hotel developer who is pitching plans for a full-service hotel somewhere in Worcester, was not scheduled to attend.

“If we get reports that say this is a good project and the manager says this is a project worth going ahead with, we owe it to residents to put it before them,” says Eddy. “For us to stop it [Tuesday night], would not be due diligence for this body. We owe it to the people who elected us to at least hear the proposal.”

So far, the only meetings Bluhm has held were brief, one-on-one discussions with councilors in the mayor’s offi ce.

“I think it’s incredibly important that

the people are informed on both sides, the pluses and the minuses,” At-Large Councilor Kate Toomey says. “I did put in some calls to the folks down in Newport, Rhode Island where they recently had a slot parlor opened. I will be going down to one of the facilities Rush Gaming has, because that’s what people expect. I will then take my information and go to the polls, but I do believe this is a public process. I must step back and say I need all the information before we make a decision.”

More than three dozen people addressed councilors before the vote, many receiving loud cheers, standing ovations and hollers of support. Those who did not speak sat or stood in the audience holding signs that read “Vote No Slots.” An opposition group with that name recently formed to try to convince people not to support the slots parlor.

On a night when people wanted to know how their elected offi cials felt about the proposal, two state lawmakers came out in opposition. State Sen. Harriette Chandler signaled her concern and newly-elected state Rep. Mary Keefe, in a statement read by legislative aide Moses Dixon, urged the council to vote against the agreement. Also coming out for the fi rst time publicly against the proposal was the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce, in a statement made by President and CEO Dick Kennedy.

Not everyone is against the move, however, including Juan Gomez, who heads up Centro Las Americas. He pointed out that at a time when many unemployed

people he serves are being accused of taking from the government, this is an opportunity for jobs many of them would want.

“The fact is there will be a slot parlor in Massachusetts. It may as well be in Worcester,” says Gomez. “The hundreds of people who come to Centro Las Americas every day looking for a job, if they found a job for $10 an hour, $15 an hour, $20 an hour they would take it today. Everyone talks about the takers. Those people are the ones who would take the jobs.”

Addressing opponents, he encouraged them to “do your jobs defeating the question, but if the question wins at least we’ll have a good deal.”

Chandler, who voted in favor of expanded gaming in the state, says she only reluctantly signed onto the bill that had a slots parlor in it. Unlike resort casinos, she says, slot parlors are not destinations.

“Locating a slots-only parlor in an urban city...practically ensures it will be a facility that draws customers heavily from nearby populations,” Chandler says. “Before mentioning social costs, one thing becomes clear: They aren’t spending disposable income at local businesses. People will most likely eat and drink right on site. I don’t believe slot parlor customers are going to take a break from slot machines and take in a show at Hanover Theatre a block away. A slots parlor is bad for our citizens, it is bad for

GUN SHY: Maybe it would have worked if he was Samuel Jackson. Twenty-three-year-old Elijah Jackson, who had escape a run-in with police almost a week earlier, wasn’t so lucky Monday, April 22 when offi cers saw him walking with another man and tried to approach him. Jackson, you see, is known to the Gang Unit as someone who carries a gun and who allegedly had been robbing drug dealers. Cops who searched him on April 16 came up empty, however, and let him go. This time when they tried to talk with him, a jittery Jackson bolted. It was around 6:25 Monday night. With police in hot-foot pursuit, Jackson darted into traffi c on Park Ave., where police say he tossed a gun under an oncoming vehicle. One offi cer stopped to grab the gun, while others sprinted after Jackson. When they caught him, he wasn’t in a cooperating mood and started fi ghting them. Needless to say, he lost. Jackson was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, resisting arrest, possession of a large capacity fi rearm, carrying a loaded fi rearm without a license and two counts of possession of a large-capacity feeding device and weapon. The gun he had been carrying was a Walther P-22 loaded with 10 rounds of ammunition.

DUMB AND DUMBER: The victim of an alleged stabbing ended up on the same side of the law as his accused attacker – the wrong side. Marco Johnson, 29, 26 Old Lincoln St., and Amador Roman, 34, of Worcester allegedly got in a scuffl e during a house party near 18 Winslow St. around 2 a.m. Friday, April 19. Roman allegedly stabbed Johnson, who was treated at the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. Police tracked down Roman, who was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and armed assault with intent to murder. He also had an outstanding arrest warrant. Johnson also wound up being arrested for two outstanding warrants relating to several alleged larcenies.

WPI builds house witheverything under the sunColin Burdett

As the third largest coal producing city in China, Datong may seem to be an unlikely host city for an event

that judges sustainability and energy effi ciency. But — the 2013 Solar Decathlon China (SDC) will be held in Datong on Aug. 3, and more importantly, WPI will be entering the competition with the fi rst-ever solar house built in the United States, the Solatrium. WPI’s team BEMANY (for Belgium, Massachusetts, and New York) is a group of students and faculty from the Universiteit Ghent in Belgium, The Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU-Poly) and WPI that will compete alongside 22 other teams at the SDC.

The Solatrium, a nearly 1,500-square-foot, net-zero house made up of 40 12-kilowatt photovoltaic solar panels

and composite materials was formally revealed, appropriately, on Earth Day, Monday, April 22 to a crowd of hundreds of WPI and Worcester city offi cials. The three-bedroom, one kitchen, one bathroom house uses new sustainable technologies aiming to meet the 10 judged and measured criterion of the Solar Decathlon including architecture, affordability, livability, energy effi ciency, sustainability, temperature, and even thematic elements.

Ten students from WPI, fi ve from NYU-Poly, and four from Belgium University worked with three project leaders: Ghent University’s Steven Van Dessel, WPI’s Tahar El-Korchi, and NYU-Poly’s Masoud Ghandehari for a total of nine weeks. Van Dessel says, “This is my second house like this that I have built, and I am completely confi dent in what we have built. This one is bigger, has more glass, is totally solar powered, and has a great looking

interior.” The atrium portion of the Solatrium is a separate piece of the house that was built with the help of several Worcester Technical High School students. The Solatrium is funded in part by more than 50 sponsors including National Grid, General Electric, Saint-Gobain, Siemens AG, Flexcor, CDM Smith, Suffolk Construction, and Mass Clean Energy Center.

The SDC was given breath on January 18, 2011 when a memorandum was signed between the Government of the People’s Republic of China and the United States of America with “a common goal in fostering sustainable economic and social development while encouraging the use of renewable energy sources and recognize that solar energy development and use is an important part of their collaboration.” Being hosted by United States Department of Energy (DOE) and

China’s National Energy Administration (NEA), this will be the inaugural year that the Solar Decathlon is held in China. Chinese sponsors include the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, All-China Students Federation Secretariat and Peking University.

WPI President Dennis Berkey opened the evening by saying, “In higher education, we always promote innovation, collaboration, imagination. This Solatrium project is the maximum intensity of all these characteristics and the character of Worcester is all about partnership and community. It’s great to have all those who believe in teaching and learning about the sustainability of our planet.”

was referred to as the “high priest” of the project by Berkey) served as the evening’s emcee. El-Korchi began his remarks by exclaiming “We’re going to China!” He then went on to say that planning for and building the house was an “incredible” journey that started less than two years ago. “Along with the Department of Energy, we are trying to advance the solar-powered home,” says El-Korchi.

National Grid Community and Customer Service Manager Kevin Shaughnessy calls the collaboration a “catalyst of change” between WPI, City Manager Michael O’Brien and the city’s surrounding local businesses and organizations. “This is an example of inclusion and collaboration and we are setting the path for the next generation of technical leaders.” In lieu of a Washington D.C.-bound Jim McGovern, district press secretary Scott Zoback praised WPI’s efforts by calling this a “proper send off for a house that portrays the world leadership of Worcester. This is going to train and lead people for jobs in the industry for the jobs of tomorrow.”

Class of 2014 WPI Student Yunqui Sun will be representing team BEMANY as a student and as an English-Chinese translator. She calls the competition “very exciting,” and says, “everyone on the

team has worked really hard. I think it will be great to spread awareness for the importance of solar energy, especially in a place that uses coal as its primary form of energy, Datong is trying so hard to become more sustainable, and I hope that our house helps open some eyes.”

On May 7, Siemens AG will be helping the team disassemble and ship the house to China. The parts are expected to arrive in China by the middle of July. After that, 30 to 40 faculty, staff and volunteers will help to reconstruct the house for the competition that starts on Aug. 3 and ends on Aug. 13. Five Worcester Tech students ranging from ninth to eleventh grade and two faculty volunteers will also be traveling to China to accompany the team.

most of our businesses and it is harmful to the quality of life in our city. This plan

we’re talking about is a plan we do not need. Worcester deserves better.”

One resident, Doug McAllister, cautioned offi cials to avoid what has happened in Atlantic City, where he says many senior citizens lost their homes because they could no longer afford to keep up their homes after a casino was built.

“I see that happening here in Worcester,” McAllister says. “I hope it won’t, but I would like you to look very seriously at voting on a slot parlor.”

Also last night, offi cials tackled the issue of an email sent out by the mayor’s offi ce two weeks ago saying that 10 councilors had signed onto an order to negotiate with a slots developer. A handful of Open Meeting Law complaints were fi led as a result, including one from Worcester Mag. Petty says City Solicitor David Moore and the city’s Rules Committee will review the matter.

“There was no dialogue or discussion on this issue,” says Petty, who was out of the country and in Ireland at the time of the email. “Calls were made just to ask to sign on to the order, which is a common occurrence, from prior mayors. I can’t speak to why people chose to sign on, but they chose to sign on. Maybe the wording of the press release could be worded differently, but there was no intent to violate the Open Meeting Law.”

POWER PLAY: City Manager Mike O’Brien is putting $500,000 toward the Worcester Redevelopment Authority (WRA) so it can hire a consultant to draft and develop an urban renewal plan and program. “The WRA is a strong ally for the city in its efforts to grow the Worcester economy and revitalize its historical commercial centers,” O’Brien says. “The city’s proposal to fund the WRA to secure professional services and hire needed staff will ensure that the WRA is a powerful tool in our ongoing efforts.” As O’Brien describes it, the WRA is responsible for urban renewal planning, land acquisition, business relocation, demolition of obsolete structures, site testing and preparing and public improvements. Current members include Chairman Robert Diaz, Vice Chairman and former state Rep. Vincent Pedone, Secretary Steven Rothschild, John Donahue Jr. and Robert Thomas.

MR. ROBOTO: Students from Worcester Technical High School’s robotics team, Tech-Know Commandos, won the VEX National Robotics Championship in Anaheim, Calif. The competition featured 420 high school teams from 23 countries. The team, featuring city’s Jason McKinney, city’s Natalie

Correa, city’s Jake Richard, city’s Greg Carlson and city’s Kahlan Cardin, won its division championship, went on to beat the other fi ve division champs, and in the fi nal competition won the high school team championship. The team received donations from city’s Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), city’s National Grid and city’s Metso Automation, and support from City Manager city’s Mike O’Brien, city’s Quinsigamond Community College and EMC to make the trip to California.

A SONG AND DANCE: JetBlue likes to crow about its free, in-fl ight entertainment, but it’s in tune with what passengers want before they even get on an airplane. Passengers at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) will literally be getting music to their ears with a special pre-fl ight performance by Emeli Sande, who will sing at Terminal 5 (T5) on Friday, April 26 at 5 p.m. The breakthrough artist will sing for ticket-carrying customers and a few lucky contest winners. Hey, Dave Barger! Might we suggest you hit up the local Worcester music scene for some pre-fl ight performances when your planes start fl ying out of Worcester Regional Airport in November? Check out the Dive Bar and don’t forget The Lucky Dog.

TAKE IT BACK: The Division of Public Health holds its sixth Prescription Take Back Day on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Worcester Senior Center, an effort Acting Public Health Commissioner Michael Hirsh says is a priority under the city’s Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). During the take-back, all unwanted, unused or expired prescription and/or over-the-counter medications can be brought to the Senior Center. They will, in turn, be brought to a designated State Police barracks for disposal. Last September, approximately 60 pounds of medication were collected. In addition, West Boylston police and the town’s Board of Health will unveil their new prescription drug collection kiosk, which will be open 24 hours a day.

PIPE DOWN: Massachusetts Materials Research has determined that the citywide shutdown of the water system last November resulted from two factors that affected a 30-inch cast iron pipe. Shifting soils and the difference in the coeffi cient of thermal expansions of the sealant and the pipe and, perhaps, a drop in water temperature were the culprits, according to Public Works and Parks Commissioner Bob Moylan. Future steps to avoid a repeat of the “near catastrophic failure” of the pipe will include the rehabilitation of approximately 17,000 feet of 48-inch, 42-inch and 40-inch transmission mains originating from Olean Street pump station to Park Ave., along with corresponding gate valves, according to Moylan.

THE RIGHT DIRECTION: The city’s Abandoned Vehicle Removal Program (AVRP) celebrated its 10th anniversary in April and offi cials are touting a dramatic decrease in the number of vehicles tagged since the program’s fi rst full fi scal year, 2004. Offi cials tagged 2,428 cars that year. In fi scal 2012 that number was 224. Public Works and Parks Commissioner Bob Moylan also cites the decline in the number of vehicles that have been towed. In 2004, the city towed 45.1 percent of the vehicles that were tagged. In fi scal 2012, the percentage dropped to 20.1 percent. “When DPW&P fi rst took on the responsibility for dealing with abandoned vehicles early in 2003 the city streets were littered with a wide variety of wrecked and unregistered abandoned vehicles,” Moylan says. “Aggressive and unselfi sh teamwork over the fi rst few years of the program allowed us to deal quickly with the backlog of reported abandoned vehicles.” Financially, the city has collected $552,391 through April in fi nes and fees since the program started in April 2003. In addition, Standard Auto Wrecking Inc. has paid the city $58,837. The total revenue has been $611,228. Minus direct costs of $129,389, the program has yielded a profi t of $481,839.

CLARK PERFORMSHip Hop Collabo, Clark’s student-run dance group that draws inspiration from hip hop, rhythm and

blues, pop, house and international music, celebrates the group’s 10-year anniversary on Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27 with performances at Atwood Hall on campus. The show will also feature performances by Juru Zen, slam poet Abby Petkov and the dance club at University Park Campus School. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., performances begin at 7 p.m. each night.

Performances of the William Shakespeare play “The Tempest” will take the stage in Michelson Theater in the Little Center at Clark University on Thursday, April 25, Friday, April 26, Saturday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m. Directed by Danny Balel, Clark alum, the play tells the story of the Duke of Milan plotting to restore his daughter to her “rightful place.” He conjures up a storm to lure his brother and the King of Naples to a remote island where his machinations bring about the revelation of low nature, redemption and marriage. Tickets are $5 or free for students with Clark ID. Clark University, 950 Main St. clarku.edu.

LEARN TO RIDE FOR LOCAL CHILDRENChildren and families are welcome to join a free “Learn to Ride” program at Worcester

State University on Saturday, April 27. The Occupational Therapy Department will offer two one-hour sessions from 9-10 a.m. and 10:15-11:15 a.m. that will teach children how to ride a bicycle in a safe, supervised environment. Also, during the event, WSU Occupational Therapy undergraduate students will provide children ages 6-10 of the Worcester-area with assessment on motor control and physical challenges. The clinic provides individualized attention they may not otherwise receive and gives the WSU students an opportunity to utilize their skills and knowledge outside of the classroom.

Harvey

Janice Harvey

The school vacation of April 2013 will go down in the record books as the most stressful non-vacation in the history of

school vacations, if any such record books exist. If we thought it would be a deserved break from the endless winter and a “welcome springtime” moment, we caught an ice-cold bucket of water in the kisser on Marathon Monday. In an instant, we were reminded that we are not infallible, that Americans are as vulnerable to evil as any other human beings on earth. And once again, whether we paused to recognize it or not, we were given a taste of the chaos, suffering and agony citizens around the world endure daily. The sand shifted under our feet when Boylston Street was bombed; but in faraway war-torn cities like Beirut, where the McDonald’s is encased in concrete barriers, it would likely be considered just another Monday. Keeping that in mind should cause us to rein in our chest-thumping rhetoric.

But it won’t.Not that Boston hasn’t earned the right to

crow about its law enforcement, or its resiliency and gutsy determination to return to normal — check that — to return bigger and better than normal. It’s the way Bostonians sometimes do their crowing that is pause for concern. It occurred to me as I read the umpteenth Facebook meme boasting “It Took 3,000 Days to Capture Bin Laden — and 4 Days for Boston to Catch the Marathon Bombers” that this is the stuff that enfl ames those who are something less than in love with America.

Don’t get me wrong — I whooped it up in my living room when the tarp was pulled off the boat, revealing that a bloodied Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was still breathing. As much as the next guy, I want him to stand trial for his crimes. But I worry that there are other Dzhokhars out there, dancing that fi ne line between sympathy and solidarity. Who’s to say what will trigger in a person that deadly change from docile to dangerous? And one might take issue with the silly rhetoric of such memes — that Bin Laden

was not in the US; that he had at his disposal untold millions, and so, had no need to hijack cars and steal ATM cards.

Entering Fenway to the cheers of thousands, David “Big Papi” Ortiz fl exed his muscles and unleashed his bad-boy tongue by declaring Boston “our fucking city.” In living rooms across the nation, kids looked at their moms, granddads looked at their grandkids and everyone muttered: “Did he just say that?”

Now I’m no prude, though I was called a “fuddy duddy” for wincing at Papi’s blue language. It so happens that I have been known to cram more f-bombs into a declarative sentence than a truck driver who ran over his own foot. No pirate can beat me at turning the f-bomb into the all-purpose word — it’s an adjective! It’s a verb! It’s a noun! Every January 1 I add it to the list of things I will change about myself in the coming year — right below losing the same 12 pounds I’ve been threatening to lose for 12 years, I write the words “stop using the f-bomb.” This resolution usually fl ies out the window before the ink dries, especially if the pen I’m using runs out of ink.

When I was a kid, it was the ultimate swear word. You could whisper every other naughty curse you ever heard your dad howl after stubbing his toe or opening a bill, but the f-bomb was different. The f-bomb was taboo. And despite the fact that every other comedian — including that wax fi gure formerly known as Joan Rivers — drops the word as liberally as if they were sprinkling salt on popcorn, I still maintain that there’s a time and a place for the beloved eff, and a ballpark fi lled with 37,000 men, women and children paying tribute to bombing victims and thanking law enforcement is neither the place nor the time.

The FCC, the MLB and every Beantown barstool warmer disagrees with me on this one, but I believe we can mourn the loss of four innocent lives and keep in our thought the 180 injured and maimed and still maintain some dignity and humility.

That said — PLAY BALL!

Of Bombs and F-Bombs

Worcester leaders should approve slotsOnly in Worcester could our political and religious leaders join forces in a campaign to outlaw a previously endorsed fun project for us citizens.Gambling, a former favorite buddy, has become a target for them. What is the biggest gambling business in our commonwealth? THE STATE LOTTERY COMMISSION has thousands of outlets and millions of clients. Do our political leaders refuse the millions returned by this endeavor to the towns and cities? But, we don’t want more money from slot machines. Is Bingo gambling? Some church leaders are willing to accept money from this form of gambling but won’t allow citizens to enjoy the fun of playing slot machines at a casino. Have these leaders ever seen the joy and happiness of a winner when the bells and whistles go off? How many of us have taken the tickets booklets from our son’s or daughter’s school or sports club to sell to friends or coworkers? “Take a chance to win,” we tell them. Perhaps there may be a better location for the proposed casino, but some of these leaders will attack any proposed site. The fact that many more jobs will be available is not important to them. The added tax from what is now vacant land is not important. Polls show citizens are in favor of staying home rather than having to drive to surrounding states for a little fun. I thought we chose our leaders to follow our wishes.

REGION — For the past few

weeks, the Wachusett Superin-

tendent Search Committee has

interviewed nine candidates for

the job of school superintendent

to succeed interim superinten-

dent Anthony Gasbarro, whose

tenure ends June 30.

When he accepted the inter-

im appointment following the

December retirement of superin-

tendent Thomas Pandiscio, Gas-

barro said he would not apply

for the permanent position, and

plans to retire on Aug. 31, his

61st birthday.

“If need be, I am available to

continue in any capacity for the

district until the Aug. 31 date,”

he advised school committee

chair Duncan Leith on March 12.

Superintendent search com-

mittee chair Steven Hammond

told the school committee on

March 18 that he is aiming to

select two to four fin

alists from

the nine semi-finalists

, with his

target number of three to present

to school committee members

for interviews and their final

selection. He said the search

committee will do site visits of

the finalists’ school distri

cts.

The March 25 superintendent

search committee meeting was

the last one held behind closed

doors, Hammond said, to narrow

the pool of semi-finalists

down

to a list of fin

alists.

Open meeting law requires

that finalist interviews before

the full school committee must

be held in public session, as

will the balloting for a new

superintendent, who is e

xpected

to assume the post on July 1.

HOLDEN – At the 18th annual Good

Neighbor Awards last Thursday at the senior

center, it was a case of good deeds coming full

circle.On the plaque listin

g the winners are 18

metal plates engraved with the names of

honorees. The top plate lists the 1996 winners,

among them the late Romeo and Elsie Gonyea.

The most recent plate lists this year’s

winners: Faye and David Ellis, J

ames Matheson

and Katharine and Gregory Mills.

The circle of small town life comes in here.

Faye Ellis is the daughter of the Gonyeas. She

and her husband share grandchildren with their

co-winners, the Mills.

(The Ellis son married a

Mills daughter).

It highlights one of the nicest aspects of a

close community: The good people that come

here, stay here.

The Good Neighbor awards are given by

the town Democratic Committee, but in a

non-partisan spirit,

Tim Ethier, event master of

ceremonies noted. Nominations are welcome

from any Holden resident and winners are

chosen simply on how their volunteer efforts

have risen above the ordinary. Democrats,

Republicans and independents are all eligible.

The honor hasn’t been given to a Tea

Party member yet, Ethier joked, but maybe

somewhere down the road it could be.

The Ellises received the award for their

activities as officers of Holden Grange, the

organization that promotes rural activities

and agriculture in the area. The Ellises also

contribute to the Wachusett Food Pantry, where

the Grange donates food and funds each month.

Faye and David Ellis are active in their

respective churches, St. Mary’s and Chaffin

Congregational. David is a true native, born at

Millbury retains

BY TOM REILLY

The Millbury Board of Selectmen announced that it has

reached an agreement on a new three-year contract with

Millbury Town Manager Bob Spain that will likely take

Spain to his retirement in the summer of 2016.

Under the terms of the agreement, Spain will receive

$120,000 for the first year, $122,000 for the second, and

$125,000 for the third. Board of Selectmen chair Bernie

Plante told the Chronicle that Spain has received no raise

MILLBURY – After one week in

business, Dan Light only had $73

to his name.

A door-to-door grassroots

effort to spread the word about his

roofing and siding business ensued,

resulting in plenty of slammed

doors in his face. Years later, a fire

destroyed part of the showroom.

Quitting, though, is simply not

in Dan Light’s DNA.

Perseverance has always been

a trait Dan and his wife, Dawn,

showcased, gaining a positive

reputation in Millbury. Health

problems, however, for Dan has

forced the Lights to close D. Light

and Sons Siding Co. after two

decades in business, something

Dan Light calls the “most difficult

decision of my life. ”

Six months ago, Dan Light

learned he has ALS – also known

as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, a serious

neurodegenerative condition,

The Jon Butcher Axis: Bold as LoveMatt Robert

“I guess a way to say it is, it’s kind of a thirtieth anniversary,” says Jon Butcher of the April 26 show at The Hanover Theatre and the ensuing tour, which will feature original Jon Butcher Axis (JBA) members Jon Butcher and bassist Chris Martin, as well as drummer John Muzzy (BeatleJuice, Farrenheit). “I can’t believe I’m saying this! Thirty years ago, I was a kid in a band called Jon Butcher Axis, and this event we’re having sort of commemorates that.”

At this point you are one of two possible readers: You are young – say, younger than 35 – and the eighties barely exists for you, and you have no idea who Jon Butcher is; or you are older and have followed the New England music scene, and Jon Butcher, to you, is a legend, one of the few local acts who had a major brush with the big time.

If you are the latter, then this reunion show might rekindle memories of the high energy pop rock of The Axis and Hendrix-like stage persona and guitar stylings of Butcher at Rathskeller shows, or as the opening act for J. Geils, Rush, Kiss, Def Leppard, or INXS. You’ll also be psyched for the legendary co-stars of this bill: area heavyweights The Fools and Worcester’s own August featuring local guitar slinger Jimmy D’Angelo.

If you are of the former group, just get a ticket!

“We’re getting together for a concert Friday night, April 26,” says Butcher, “but additionally, we went into the studio - my mates, Buzz on drums, Chris Martin on bass,

my old Axis mate – and recorded a CD of really cool stuff. We did some sort of retooling of a few of our old hits and some new music, as well, and we’re really excited about it.”

“We’re going to start in Worcester, obviously, and our plan is to do one more date on the East Coast before we go to Europe…which will be 22 dates in Europe beginning in the U.K.”

JBA enjoyed tremendous success in the 80s, releasing several charting albums and producing a number of slick videos that rotated on a mainly white MTV. Despite blatant Hendrix infl uences, the band’s records followed the dictates of the era, which called for cleaner, more pop-oriented music, though live video clips and samples of the band’s latest work strip the heavy production and reveal a brilliant guitarist and strong vocalist with a deep arsenal of Hendrix-infl uenced licks and blues roots.

So, what happened to a band with such promise and a proven road record?

“With few exceptions,” says Butcher, “rock bands have very short shelf lives, and Axis was no exception to that. To make a long story short, it became untenable fi nancially. It just wasn’t

possible for us to continue to travel. And that’s why The Axis disbanded.”

Between the last show played by the original Axis and today, lives were lived. “When I left the band, I moved to California and built a recording studio and started a fi lm music company called Electric Factory Music,” Butcher says. “I’ve provided music for shows, like ‘Ugly Betty’ for ABC and ‘The Sopranos’ and several other shows that were huge hits [like ‘Deadwood’ and ‘My name Is Earl’ and – not surprisingly – ‘Hendrix: The Movie’]. And Chris went on to become a doctor. He got his medical degree at Harvard Medical School. And, yeah, he’s a practicing doctor as we speak. So, he became a doctor, and our drummer, Derek [Blevins], is in California as the deacon of his church, and we’ve all done very well.”

Jon Butcher has since returned to New England and resumed his performance career, playing solo shows around the region in support of an upcoming record, called “Two Roads East” and appearing with Boston’s Charlie Farren. All this led to serendipitous schedule opportunities, and the reunion.

“People…are going to see a wide range of my material, beginning with Axis,” says Butcher. “We’re going to do, of course,

all the early hits: ‘Ocean in Motion’ and ‘Life Takes a Life’ and ‘Holy War’ and ‘Wishes’ – songs like that. But we also are doing some stuff that were stalwarts of ours when we were touring back in the day. Add a couple of standards, like ‘Somewhere over the Rainbow’ and I’ve recorded a new version of a Jimi Hendrix song, called ‘Axis: Bold As Love,’ and that’s going to be featured in the set, as well.”

Social conscience is nothing new to Jon Butcher Axis, whose lyrics often conveyed concern about institutional violence and

media infl uence, and at the Hanover show their concern will extend beyond artistic license, as they will donate a portion of the ticket proceeds to two charities: the Wounded Warrior Project and the South High Food Pantry.

“We feel like this is a good opportunity to become more involved in the community, and the food pantry thing is a personal interest of mine. To think about kids going hungry nowadays in this area, in particular, is really upsetting to me. And we felt this was a good way to give back.”

Additionally, the band will raffl e off three of Jon Butcher’s personal Fender Stratocasters and a trip to see the band perform in Las Vegas or

San Francisco. “That’s going to be a real fun giveaway and somebody’s going to be very happy,” says Butcher.

“It is literally the fi rst time that we’ve played since 1983,” says Butcher. “It’s remarkable to me to even think that this has actually come together.”

See The Jon Butcher Axis live at The Hanover Theatre, 2 Southbridge St. on Friday, April 26 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets available at thehanovertheatre.com.

‘The Brothers Warner’ screenedColin Burdett

The year is 1927 and Lewis Warner is in the basement of Worcester Academy’s Walker Hall getting ready to screen the fi rst run of “The Jazz Singer” to several of his classmates. As adviser to the Academy’s Boys Club and as the son of movie magnate Harry Warner, Lewis Warner is about to usher in the end of the silent fi lm era by showing his father’s fi rst ever “talkie” fi lm, which will give way to one of the most legendary names in the fi lm industry, the Warner Brothers.

Lewis Warner was a 1928 alumnus of Worcester Academy (WA), and during his junior and senior year Lewis Warner had made a name for himself by sharing the work of his Warner Brothers (WB) family. He was also active in several clubs including the debate team, student council, athletic teams, the school newspaper, and the drama club. One year later, in 1928, Lewis Warner graduated from Worcester Academy. Shortly after his success, he suffered from a severe dental abscess and passed away in 1931, but his legacy lived on with a gift from his father one year later in 1932: The Lewis J. Warner Theater was built on the 67-acre campus of Lewis’ alma mater.

For the fi rst time in more than 20 years, another Warner will be visiting the WA campus. Lewis’ niece and Harry’s granddaughter, Cass Warner will not only be observing the 85th anniversary of her uncle’s death, she will also be screening her documentary “The Brothers Warner” inside her uncle’s theater. “The Brothers Warner” is a 2007 documentary written,

directed, and produced by Cass Warner’s own production company, Warner Sisters, Inc.

“The Brothers Warner” is an epic story following the rise to fame for the four Warner brothers: Harry, Abe, Sam, and Jack Warner before and after the death of Lewis. Cass Warner says her documentary is “an intimate portrait of the four fi lm pioneers who founded and ran Warner Bros. studios for over 50 years. This epic story includes never before seen photos and footage from the Warner family archives.” Cass Warner says, “[‘The Brothers Warner’] is a story of a family that rose from immigrant poverty through personal tragedies persevering to create a major studio with a social conscience. Much like Warner Bros., the point of the documentary is to educate, entertain and enlighten.”

The death of Lewis changed history for the Warner family as the death spawned a legal battle and a betrayal from one brother to another. Lewis was the heir apparent to his father and one of the confl icts in the fi lm involves a feud between Harry and his brother Jack. Shortly after Lewis dies, the fi lm shows Jack trying to convince his brother Harry to sell the Warner Bros. company to a private entity for his own benefi t. WA Director of External Communications Neil Isakson, when analyzing the documentary, says, “The story is one of dealing with the success of a Polish-born immigrant family becoming successful in America. It’s a classic American success story of a family making their own success. The fi lm chronicles some of their trials and tribulations. These are immigrants discovering what it is like to be American while trying to keep their own culture.

In the process they helped create the American cinema industry as we know it today. Some other themes of the story explore power, ego, and money.”

Isakson has been in close communication with Cass Warner and calls her “old school Hollywood royalty” and is looking forward to having an “ace fi lmmaker on campus that people can

learn from. This event gives WA students the opportunity to think about history and immigration in this country. It’s pretty darn cool to be able to interact with someone who pretty much created the fi lm medium in the United States.”

Respect, challenge, personal growth, community, and honor are WA’s primary core values and Isakson sees the values of the Warner Brothers family refl ecting the values of the school. “The documentary absolutely refl ects the message of our school. This refl ects the way that we honor. What we ask our students to do is honor, we take that seriously. The idea is to achieve the honorable wherever they go, locally and globally. A visit like

this sparks imagination.” In the past, WA has hosted other visits including representatives from National Security, researchers, musicians, and documentaries including the Lifetime documentary “Sexting in Suburbia” by John Stimpson.

The Lewis J. Warner Theater has been honored as a “hidden gem” and an “enclave for fi lm” by the Theater Historical Society of America. It was the fi rst movie theater to be on a high school campus in the country. In the 1990s, the theater was restored to have a Renaissance infl uence complete with columns, statues, original velour seating, and ceiling panel frescoes painted by Hungarian artists depicting Lewis and his family in a classical heroic manner. Established in 1834, WA has a student body of about 645 students from 20 different countries and Isakson says, “The diversity of students here is great, everybody brings something different to our community.”

Cass Warner (Formally Cass Warner Spalding) is a third-generation fi lmmaker. Her father was the late writer and producer Milton Sperling, whilst her son is actor Cole Hauser. This will be her fi rst time in the theater. Isakson says “I’m so glad that people will have a chance to experience this fantastic theater. It is a grand movie palace and I think she (Cass Warner) will have a moving experience. When asked about the screening, Cass says, “I’m excited to show this in the place where it all started.

Strong performance by Janiva MagnessJim Perry

Award-winning blues belter Janiva Magness blew through the Bull Run in Shirley this past Thursday night, and she proved in every possible way that her success is no fl uke.

The night opened with a nice acoustic set by Erin Harpe on guitar and Richard “Rosy” Rosenblatt on harmonica, which featured a fi ne version of Guilty. In its footsteps, Magness’ band took to the stage and warmed up the crowd with some basic blues. Blistering solos from guitarist Zach Zunis and keyboardist Jim Alfredson hinted at the quality of the music that was to come. Janiva fi nally burst onto the stage, boasting a wide smile, a big voice, and a body built for sin - think Jayne

Mansfi eld. “Whoop and Holler,” the opening number, is from her new CD, “Stronger For It,” just as most of the night’s set was. Immediately, Magness took control of the stage, prowling back and forth with a threatening sneer, her “brick house” body gyrating to the band’s rhythm. The next number, “There It Is,” tells the story of a woman who should regret some things she has done, but just shrugs it off instead. “I Won’t Cry,” a 2013 Blues Music Awards nominee for “song of the year,” followed, and it is a heartfelt ode to women who have to dig way down deep to appear strong in the throes of emotional pain. Janiva’s facial expressions told us that she meant every word. “I’m Alive” featured a swampy tremolo electric piano, while “Whistling in the Dark” was a typical, but nice soul ditty. Magness, at this point, revealed to the audience her adoration for Tina Turner, and broke into a smoking version of “Humpty Dumpty,” the Ike & Tina classic.

A surprise guest waited in the wings, and Janiva lovingly introduced us to blues legend Ronnie Earl. Guitarist Zunis

gracefully offered his guitar to Earl, who proceeded to caress our ears with lovely solo work in “Little By Little,” and especially in “I Smell Trouble.” There

was a nice sexy vibe between Earl and Janiva, and she expressed her gratitude to Ronnie numerous times throughout the rest of the evening.

The band’s dynamics were outstanding, but they really shone in the slow burning gospel tune “Things Left Undone.” Drummer Matt Tecu and bass player Gary Davenport effortlessly led the band through soft and loud passages with startling results, while keyboardist Alfredson manipulated the Hammond Organ like a magician, looking for all the world like a funky Marvin Hamlisch.

As the evening came to an end after one more song, Magness brought the band way down and spoke for a while about her other passion, foster care. Having once been in the system, she has a special place in her heart for the cause. Her gratitude spoke volumes.

Riding a wave of success, her efforts are culminating in fi ve blues music nominations for 2013. Magness is only the second woman

to win the coveted Entertainer of the Year award for blues artists. The legendary Koko Taylor is the only other female recipient. She is on a roll, for sure.

You woman, me Dennis


Jim Keogh

Four yea rs ago the short fi lm “Dennis” appeared on YouTube and went viral. The story of a hulking Danish bodybuilder crushed by an innate shyness and a controlling mother struck a chord. Dennis, played by Kim Kold, was the anti-Schwarzenegger — a man whose impressive physique masked an emotional fragility bordering on infantilism. When a defeated Dennis curled up next to his mother in her bed, all kinds of psychosexual alarm bells went off.

The feature-length fi lm made from that short, “Teddy Bear,” is a more conventional lonely-hearts story: “Marty” with barbells. The movie begins with a disastrously awkward date between Dennis and a woman he’s met at the gym. Dennis is so introverted he can barely complete a sentence, and avoids direct eye contact as though his dining companion were Medusa. At 38 years old, it’s clear the only pumping he’s done is with iron.

But a family gathering offers a glimpse at potential happiness. During dinner, Dennis’ uncle toasts his new wife, whom he’s brought back to Denmark from Thailand. She’s lovely and compliant, and actually seems to care for her husband, who, like Dennis, doesn’t appear to have a stellar track record with the ladies. Go to Thailand and get one of your own, he urges his nephew, you won’t be sorry.

Dennis’ sojourn to Thailand is by turns pathetic and hopeful. I love the way writer-director Mads Matthieson fi lms the strongman from behind practically every time he enters a room, the space around him disappearing into the landscape of the guy’s mountainous shoulders. He’s so outsized in this land of small-statured people, he seems to have been dropped

from an entirely different planet. Yet despite impressive physicality, in the presence of the hookers who come on to him, and even the fast-talking tailor who scams a few extra bucks off him for an ill-fi tting suitcoat, he turns into a frightened fi eld mouse.

Dennis is who he is because of his graceless, tight-lipped mother, an emotional bully who disapproves of her boy ever having a girlfriend, or moving out of her home, or, especially, traveling to Thailand to fi nd a bride. Rather than suffer the maternal fallout by divulging that little piece of news, Dennis fi bs and tells mom he’s competing in a bodybuilding tournament in Germany. When he leaves for the airport she lies beneath her bedcovers, unwilling even to wish him goodbye. (That Austrian-accented moan you hear is Sigmund Freud lamenting from the grave that he

never got a shot at analyzing these two.)

As irritating as mom may be, I actually yearned for more scenes with her. The short fi lm “Dennis” did a better job of establishing the daily rhythms of life with mother and son — rather than just seeming like a bitch, she was petrifi ed of losing her life mate, hence the mind games to keep him apron-stringed. In “Teddy Bear” the

Thailand trip begins to feel labored the longer it goes on; Matthieson obviously feeling a rush from this fi sh-out-of-water angle when his movie should be exorcising Dennis’ demons in the gloomy confi nes of his childhood home.

I used the word “hopeful” earlier in the review, and in that vein I will only let on that Dennis does indeed meet someone in Thailand. How this news is related to his mother, and her reaction, is best left unspoken here. Let’s just say their confrontation is an indicator of how strong this man actually is.

“Teddy Bear” will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Saturday, and at 1 and 2:55 p.m. in the Jefferson Academic Center at Clark University. The fi lm is part of the Cinema 320 series.

2ovens FOOD ★★★★ AMBIENCE ★★★★ SERVICE ★★★★ VALUE ★★★★1/2 84 Boston Turnpike Rd., Shrewsbury774-670-57852ovens.com2ovens is an offshoot of the Italian chain Bertucci’s, though you wouldn’t know it by the decor, service, and quality of the food. The restaurant is far from another boring chain, as everything on the menu is made using only their eponymous two ovens, this means no microwaves, grills, or food warmers. While this makes for a limited — though clearly directed — menu, it allows the restaurant to focus on making great pizza and serious toasted sandwiches with only fresh ingredients.

Rye and ThymeFOOD ★★★★1/2 AMBIENCE ★★★★★ SERVICE ★★★1/2 VALUE ★★★★1/2 14 Monument Square, Leominster978-534-5900 • ryeandthyme.com

Rye and Thyme, located in the center of Leominster, calls itself an American Tavern, featuring a daily fresh raw bar with a menu that highlights its woodfi re grill. This Niche Hospitality Group

(Bocado, Mezcal, The People’s Kitchen, Still & Stir and The Citizen) restaurant plays on a common theme for the restaurant group, with American bistro dishes served in a comfortable, warm setting that looks to be straight out of prohibition-era America. The restaurant sits in

a former factory building, and diners are greeted by a large, snake-like bar, a dozen oversized booths, and a handful of spacious tables. The food and experience is unmistakably Niche, with excellent service, great drinks, and above all, tremendous food.

7 NanaFOOD ★★★★★ AMBIENCE ★★★★★ SERVICE ★★★★ VALUE ★★★★ 60 Shrewsbury St., Worcester

508-755-8888 7nanasteakhouseworcester.com7 Nana is sprawling, stylish and sleek. The entrance opens into a high-ceilinged bar and dining area with striking blue lighting, and modern furnishings. At the far end of the wrap-around cocktail bar is a sushi bar with four chefs, elbow-to-elbow, doing their thing. 7 Nana – “nana” means seven, a lucky number in Japan – offers a wide range of dining options. A “hibachi room” is devoted to teppanyaki-style dining – you know, where a joke-cracking chef grills at your table and might just fl ip some shrimp tails around. The extensive menu also features hot and cold appetizers, the full range of sushi, Japanese standards such as teriyaki and tempura, soba and udon, and even some Thai and Western dishes.

Veritas FOOD ★★★★★ AMBIENCE ★★★★1/2 SERVICE ★★★★1/2 VALUE ★★★★420 Main St., Sturbridge508-347-3424 • veritasma.comThe menu’s offerings suit a wide range of appetites, from those hoping for a simple, well-priced meal to those seeking

something decadent and has Caribbean infl uences aplenty — offering seafood in many forms, but also some surprising and creative fl avors. Everything is presented asdescribed, or better. Upon entering Veritas, diners are greeted in the lobby, pass a formal sitting room on the left and head up the staircase to a sunny front room with high-top tables, a full-service bar, and a private dining room in back.

Zem HanFOOD ★★★★1/2 AMBIENCE ★★★★1/2 SERVICE ★★★ VALUE ★★★★ 4 West Main St., Northborough508-393-0600 • zemhan.comZem Han in Northborough serves excellentMediterranean cuisine in a classic and contemporary setting. Placed conveniently on Route 20, about 15 minutes from Worcester, Zem Han’s menu has a Turkish emphasis, serving many traditional Middle Eastern dishes but in styles different than you might fi nd at other Middle Eastern restaurants in the area. Zem Han is a great addition to the Worcester area, with excellently prepared Mediterranean cuisine, reasonable prices, all in a splendid setting.

On a R llKai Sushi Bar and GrillSarah Jane Nelson

Don’t let the neon signs outside of Kai Sushi Bar and Grill, located in a strip mall in the Webster Square area throw you off; the space on the inside is simple and relaxing. While the dining area is not huge, they offer a well-rounded East meets West-inspired menu.

I had the Kamakazi Roll at Kai. This featured salmon, cucumber and avocado, with a tempura crunch. I’ve seen restaurants go overboard with tempura crunch

before, but this was just the right amount. It also seemed that they mixed in some tobiko with the tempura, which I’m always a fan of. The salmon was the predominant ingredient in this roll, and not overpowered by the cucumber or avocado, both of which were fresh and pleasantly balanced by the other ingredients. The only downside was that the rice was a little dry, and the seaweed a little chewy. That, however, was easily dismissible with the phenomenal crab rangoons I also had while there. So overall, I was satisfi ed with the experience.

The Kamakazi roll will get you 6 pieces for $7.50. It arrives with wasabi and ginger per usual, as well as an orchid for style. While I wasn’t overly impressed with this particular roll, I did enjoy pretty much everything else about Kai Sushi Bar and Grill. I’ll defi nitely be giving them a second chance, even if it means I’m just stuffi ng my face with crab rangoons.

All real estate is local. Property and its values are of interest to all middle class Americans, thus becoming a topic for discussion, with everyone having an opinion. Owning your own home and becoming part of a New England community is a lifestyle sought by many as they raise their families and pursue careers and lifestyles.

Real Estate values are dictated by supply and demand, like any other commodity that we buy and sell. As the demand exceeds the supply, buyers drive up the prices. In our last downturn, foreclosures and short sales added to the supply and brought values down.

A large percentage of homeowners who want to move from one home to another start with step two, Shopping for their new Home, before they find a buyer for their present home. For most, needing a buyer to be a buyer is the reality of the move. Many seasoned agents specialize in coordinated transactions, that is finding your buyer and finding your new home as one transaction, with The consumer client at the center of the transaction.

Basic Real Estate 101 tells us three things are needed for a healthy housing market to thrive. They are buyers, sellers and money. As the market turns it first stabilizes before it begins to appreciate in value. Listings become fewer in supply. We should be just

about there, but central Massachusetts lags behind the demand in the Boston market, usually by about 18 months.

It will be interesting to see if this holds true as we come out of the strongest first quarter for units sold in the last 7 years.

Paula is CEO of Aberman Associates in Lancaster Ma and has practiced real estate, moving people and coordinating selling and buying on a daily basis for over 35 years. Paula is a Training Instructor in Professional Standards, Certified by the National Association of Realtors where she is currently serving as the associations’ immediate past Chair of Legal Action She is a past president of the Massachusetts Association of Realtors..

Are you moving this year?

Paula Savard

After what seems like one of the longest winters with record breaking snow storms in New England, the spring market has arrived. Things are normally pretty dismal from December through February in most areas. However, we are hearing from many real estate professionals that there is a lack of inventory for their buyers. If this continues into the spring market, there is enough pent up demand coupled with record low interest rates to cause values to go up in areas that have been hovering at the bottom for a few years. There are areas of the state, mostly towns in the eastern area, that have already seen market appreciation over the last couple of years. They will continue to see appreciation in these areas. Through December and January people were hibernating like bears for the winter. They just didn’t want to run around looking at properties in lousy weather. To make matters worse, gas prices and lumber prices were going through the roof. So overall, things were a little depressing. However now we are now in the midst of the spring market and the future is looking very optimistic. Activity has picked up tremendously in most areas and houses seem to be moving again. People are going to open houses on the weekend if the weather is good. Being somewhat conservative and cautious when it comes to predictions, I can at least say that it does not appear that the market is stagnant any longer.

There is every indication that if rates remain low, we may see some market appreciation this year. The only fear is that this will eventually cause rates to go up. Apartment rents are stable

to increasing in many areas, with the demand for apartments increasing, as more and more people have lost their homes and need to rent for awhile .Availability of mortgage money for people with credit problems is still a barrier for some people to buy and live the American Dream. The window of opportunity for many to buy when both prices and rates are at an all time low, may close in the near future. After 27 years in the appraisal field, there is one thing that I have learned and that is that history repeats itself in the real estate market. Timing is everything and this is the time. So my advice to everyone is to BUY whatever you can now. Use your equity to buy real estate. Help your kids buy now as owning can be cheaper than rent if you find the right deal. Multifamilies are a great investment right now and have nowhere to go but up. Just make sure the cash flow is there.

Appraisers have their work cut out for them to keep up, on a weekly basis, with what is happening in each market area. Every town may be different, and low end housing may be different than high end housing. New construction may be in a world of its own and under everything is the land, which really should be in demand more than ever as the existing housing is absorbed.

Two minutes with...

Your brother, Jon, is an ultimate fi ghting champion in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Can you take him? No, I can’t take him. It’s funny you asked that, man. I get it about 150 times a week. All during the draft process and on Draft Day, sitting with all these other guys and they’re asking me if I can take my brother. Everybody asked me that, except Coach (Bill) Belichick. He didn’t ask me about any of my brothers.

Your other brother, Arthur, is on the Baltimore Ravens. How weird was it playing and losing to him in the AFC Championship? The fi rst time we played them on Sept. 3 that was very weird, actually. I was just looking over at him and saying, “That is my brother over there.” But I enjoyed it. In the AFC Championship, even though I didn’t play because of my ankle, just being that far in the season with him was weird. I kind of have this bad feeling my mom was cheering for him. She was saying, “It’s his turn.” I was like, “Mom there are no turns in football.”

Tell me about that photo of the three of you that Jon Tweeted out after you lost to the Ravens. Did Coach Belichick ever

see it? No, I think it was written about in the newspapers, but I don’t think he ever saw it. I called Jon right away and asked him to take it down. I didn’t want to have a picture of me smiling on the Internet after losing.

Your teammate, Rob Gronkowski, takes fl ak because he likes to party – even after losing the Super Bowl two years ago. Is it wrong to let loose after losing or is it just human nature? Rob is a great guy, a great teammate and a great friend of mine. We even hang out sometimes. Sometimes things happen you don’t want to, but they do.

I read where Jon said you’re “hypnotized” by the Belichick way. Is Coach a cult-like leader or is it more out of fear of being caught doing something wrong? It’s just the Patriot way. You just adapt to it. It’s the Patriot way or no way.

Is there anything you can tell us about Belichick that won’t land you in the doghouse? He’s just like he is on TV. That’s exactly what he is – keeps to himself, quiet. I don’t know if that will land me in the doghouse. But he has a reputation for, how shall we say,

using some rather salty language with players. That’s every coach. That’s been the same thing all way back to Pop Warner.

Speaking of dog houses, former Patriot Ted Johnson landed in your teammate Vince Wilfork’s dog house after calling his wife ugly. That’s just plain off-limits, isn’t it? Vince is a very good friend of mine. I don’t know (Johnson) at all. I thought it was very disrespectful. I am very close to (Wilfork’s wife) Bianca. She’s like the team mother.

So who would win an MMA match, Vince Wilfork or Ted Johnson? I never saw Ted Johnson. I never met him, but I’ll put it this way: I wouldn’t fi ght Vince.

How much of a surprise was it that Wes Welker went to the Broncos this off-season? I wouldn’t call it surprising. From my short career in the NFL, I defi nitely recognize it’s a business. Being with the Patriots, you see that. Guys are signed, cut and released all the time.

Do you ever get bothered by the business side of football? It’s always what it is. It’s my favorite quote. I’ve been saying

that before I joined the Patriots. It is what it is.

What aspect of your game do you most need to improve? My pass rushing. A lot of people say I fell off during the season. I could work on my run game, too, but defi nitely my pass rushing.

How much did the ankle injury impact your season? You looked like a good bet for defensive Rookie of the Year before you got hurt. Going into the AFC game I was on the active roster and approved to play. It was a high-ankle sprain and just wasn’t ready. I couldn’t go. But I’m feeling really good now.

So you’re coming to Worcester as a guest bartender. Have you ever been a bartender? No, I’ve never been a bartender. I feel like they got the description wrong. I think I’m just meeting and greeting.

OK, but if you were going to make a drink named after you, what would it be called? The “95 Special.”

-Walter Bird Jr., Senior Writer

This time last year, Chandler Jones was one of them – the hundreds of college gridiron greats who wondered where those God-given skills and hours of work on the fi eld and in the weight room would take them. In Jones’ case, it took him to New England; the Patriots picked the standout defensive end in the fi rst round with the 21st overall pick. He went from being raised in a strict, religious home where trips to church were an almost-daily occurrence and sleepovers with friends were a no-no, to following in the footsteps of his brother, Arthur, as a highly-touted NFL prospect. He was a serious contender for defensive Rookie of the Year before an ankle injury saw his fortunes take a turn for the worse. Jones will be in Worcester next week, Thursday, May 2 for an appearance at Peppercorn’s Grille and Tavern. After a recent workout, number 95 called Worcester Mag to talk about his upcoming visit, Coach Bill Belichick, Ted Johnson’s ill-advised “ugly” comment about the wife of one of Jones’ teammates, the MMA and, oh yea, a little football.
