The sale of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette to the Florida-based Halifax Media Group raises many questions about the future of the 148-year-old Central Mass. daily. It also brought with it layoffs of

about two dozen employees, most of them longtime staffers. The reaction has been telling: While online comments on the T&G’s website frequently include criticisms and even harsh insults, public sentiment is squarely on the side of employees. There is also much fretting over the future of the paper. In this week’s cover story we examine the sale of the Telegram from John Henry to the new ownership group, take you inside the newsroom on the day of the cuts, tell you a little bit about the Halifax Media Group and get insight from someone who once helmed the T&G as its publisher. We also take a peek at how social media played a part in coverage of the layoffs. Additionally, we look at what some of the fallout might be and how area readers feel about the sale. It’s all part of this week’s Worcester Magazine cover story: “Sunburned: T&G feels the heat with sale to Florida-based media group.”

Worcester activist lands in jail protesting eviction attempt of local familyWalter Bird Jr.

Chris Horton says he has taken part in several anti-foreclosure demonstrations. A well-known activist involved with

the Worcester Anti-Foreclosure Team (WAFT) who, along with several others has championed efforts to help families keep their homes when banks initiate foreclosure, Horton did not hesitate when it came to standing up for Jose and Dinora Flores. At least, that is how he saw it.

The Flores family used to own the three-family apartment building at 167 Providence St. They lost the building two years ago when they went into foreclosure. The building ended up being sold to Allan Kupelnick of Brookline, who owns several properties in Worcester, and whose reputation as a landlord is less than sterling. According to those who have worked with the Flores family to help keep them in their home, Dinora Flores at one point obtained the fi nancing to buy the home back, but Kupelnick asked well over $100,000 more than what he paid for the building. The Flores, however, remained in the apartment.

Kupelnick could not be reached for comment. His phone did not allow a caller to leave a message.

According to WAFT members, Flores was brought to court and an eviction order was fi led against him. However, no one arrived on the scheduled day this winter to evict him, according to WAFT organizer Jon Marien and activist and former gubernatorial candidate Grace Ross. That order, says Marien, has

expired. Kupelnick then sought an order, but only Dinora Flores and her son, Brian, whom she says does not live with her, were listed on it. Worcester Magazine saw a copy of the document and verifi ed that Jose Flores' name was not included.

That's where Horton comes in. On Thursday, May 29 he and a group of others made their way to 167 Providence St. to greet a constable. Their point, they thought, was simple: While Dinora Flores was more than willing to move out ("She was packed

and ready," Marien says), there were no legal grounds to evict Jose Flores, because his name was not on the eviction order. So Horton struck a defi ant stance and blocked entry through the front door. He would not allow the constable or the movers that accompanied him inside.

"It was quite clear that the eviction order was not legal and legally enforceable," Horton says. "I just think that I made a commitment to now allow anyone into Jose's apartment without his permission. I made a

commitment that I would stand there and block entry."

He did so even when police ascended the steps and tried to get him to move. When he refused, he was cuffed and arrested, placed into a police van and taken to jail. According to a police spokesperson, Horton was charged with trespassing, resisting arrest, disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct, interfering with a police investigation and intimidation of a witness.

"Horton refused to leave, saying he was a friend of Jose," Sgt. Kerry Hazelhurst says, adding Jose Flores could not be found at the property. He also says Kupelnick was on the property and did not want Flores there because he did not live there. "Horton was asked several times to leave. Each time he refused."

When an offi cer attempted to get by Horton, he moved his body to block him.

"By moving his body," Hazelhurst says, "he pushed the offi cer into the door jam."

That, according to police, is when Horton was arrested. Police had initially responded to the scene to preserve the peace, because there were about 15 protesters blocking the driveway outside, Hazelhurst says.

"The offi cers asked the protesters to not block the driveway or sidewalks and they all complied, with the exception of Horton, when he decided to stay on the property and block the main entrance."

The attempt to evict the Flores family last month marked the fi rst time Ross could recall things getting out of hand during an eviction

{ city desk }Webster House closes doors as new business eyes the futureWalter Bird Jr.

It is the end of one era, but it could be the start of another. After nearly 80 years of greeting customers at the corner of Webster

and Cambridge streets in the heart of Webster Square, the Webster House restaurant has closed its doors. The restaurant served up its last drinks and meals Sunday, June 1, bidding farewell to an area where it had become part of the community fabric. While owners Paul and Jo-Ann Gaboury pack up their memories and ponder a future without the restaurant they have owned for fi ve years - and where Jo-Ann Gaboury has worked for 40 - David Fullerton is hoping to create new memories in the same place.

The owner of Acoustic Java at 932 Main St., Fullerton is in the process of buying the property at 1 Webster St. Where the Webster House over the years became as much a meeting place for friends as a restaurant, Fullerton hopes to do the same, but in a wholly different way. He plans to open a full-

service vegetarian restaurant and marketplace, called Gardeners’ Grill, where veggie fare is more than just side dish or accommodation. In addition, Fullerton wants to serve organic beer and wine and his own line of organic tea. He also plans to expand on the small library of books that line a wall inside Acoustic Java, in addition to roasting coffee beans. Just as the Webster House offered live music on Fridays with the sounds of Dana Lewis, Fullerton hopes to also feature music at his restaurant.

If all goes well, the new place could open around September, he says, adding his original intent was to put a restaurant on a corner of the same block as Acoustic Java, “but it didn’t work out.” He is hopeful that a vegetarian-only restaurant will catch on in the Main South area.

“I want people to sit down and enjoy the atmosphere,” Fullerton says of his planned new business. “What distinguishes it is that it will be a full-service, vegetarian restaurant. Rather than having a side dish, you can

actually sit and enjoy your meal with a beer and wine. That’s the plan. That’s the idea.”

Fully aware that the city is losing an institution of sorts in Webster House, Fullerton points out he and his wife recently moved to Worcester and are raising a family. In fact, that just may be part of the inspiration to open a full restaurant - he and his wife already have a 2 1/2-year-old and are expecting triplets.

“I bought a house up here and I live here now,” he says. “This is my neighborhood. We’re here to stay. It’s been a really wonderful place to be the past seven years.”

While Fullerton looks ahead to what might be, the owners, employees and customers who came to see Webster House as a sort of home away from home are remembering the good times and thinking about the next chapter in their lives. For Paul and Jo-Ann Gaboury, that means deciding whether to make another foray into the restaurant business. For employees (there were roughly 35 full-

protest. She and others on the scene say the constable and movers dumped items out onto the fl oor that had been packed in boxes and smashed some of Flores family's belongings. The family ended up being able to stay in the apartment Thursday night because Marien says he was able to obtain a temporary stay of eviction, and at a court appearance on Friday, he says Jose and Dinora Flores were given a two-month stay.

Horton also appeared in court and was

given another court date of July 23. "We've had fi ve of these protests," Ross

says. "They have always been respectful and only evicted the person they had a court order for."

Horton acknowledges there are inherent risks anytime people gather in protest, although past situations have not ended up in arrests.

"I wasn't really expecting it, but we knew it was possible," he says. "We've stopped evictions in the past. It requires a willingness to be arrested."

Despite landing in jail, Horton says he would take a similar course of action in the future if circumstances called for it. He admitted, however, there would be one caveat, since he expected to be put on probation for this incident.

"I would do it again, but I would probably wait until my probation expires," he says, adding he does not believe police should have arrested him. "I think they made a mistake in judgment in arresting me, but otherwise they were respectful and courteous under the circumstances."

Kupelnick's history as a landlord goes back many years in Worcester, and it is not a good one. He has publicly been called a slumlord, and several years ago a group of residents who lived near a Russell Street property owned by Kupelnick, took a bus to Brookline to protest outside his home. They had the support as high up as the mayor's offi ce, according to a 1998 Worcester Phoenix story by Walter Crockett. Then-Mayor Ray

Mariano gave the group a sendoff. They were joined on their journey by then City Council candidate Tim Murray.

"The big thing here," Marien says, "is that [Kupelnick] had already been told by the court that they could only move out the person named on the execution .... Kupelnick didn't like what he got for justice in the court, so he got street justice instead with a thug constable and thug movers. As a major slumlord in Worcester, Alan Kupelnick moving people out in this way, breaking the law and ignoring the court is a big problem.”

and part-timers at Webster House) it means fi nding another job and realizing they will not be punching in to work at the restaurant anymore. And for customers, it means fi nding a new place to call home away from home. As one longtime customer put it, Webster House was like “Cheers.” The customers were all Norms and everybody knew your name.

“We knew the building was for sale,” Jo-Ann Gaboury says. “They were going to try to sell it aggressively. We’re happy for whoever takes it over, we really are. We wish them the best.”

The sentiment appears genuine, but it does not mean leaving the restaurant she has been at almost every day of her life for the past four decades is anything less than emotional.

“I grew up here. My kids grew up here. My bartender grew up here. She’s been here 30 years,” Gaboury says. Her oldest of three sons was a baby when she started at Webster House. “I started here. They all worked here.”

Webster House started in 1935 when Bill Tsules rented the corner and started selling ice cream and sandwiches as the Soda Shoppe. Greg Mitsis later joined and the two continued running the Soda Shoppe. In 1968, Chris Liazo came on board and the Shoppe grew into a restaurant. Its name was changed to Webster House. In 1977, Bill and Greg

retired. Seventeen years later, the building was renovated and expanded to include function rooms. Jo-Ann and Paul eventually took over the business. The current property owner of record is Charles Mitsis of Hudson.

The husband and wife team - Paul Gabouri works a different full-time job, but would come it at night to close up for his wife - started telling staff and customers about two weeks ago when they learned the building was being sold. They did not have to close now, but Jo-Ann Gaboury says it will make it easier on the new owner.

“We thought we should close now,” she says. “The new people want to come in and get started. It’s going to make it easier for everybody.”

What also might make it easier are the friendships forged over so many years. People like Bob Yaeger and his wife have been going to Webster House every Friday night for 12 years.

“It’s very comfortable, there is no hurry to get you out,” he says. “We made a lot of friends.”

Yaeger showed up to the restaurant on Sunday and left with some potato skins. He had been there the previous Friday night with his wife. Asked what restaurant would become their new hot spot, Yaeger suggests Zorba’s, also in the Webster Square area. He says he exchanged emails and phone numbers with a handful of customers who became friends and that they would stay in touch.

“The atmosphere, it was laid back,” Yaeger says. “It was like ‘Cheers,’ you know? You go in and everybody knows your name. It was friendly. It’s very sad. It’s always sad when you’ve got to change and fi nd a new place when you’re comfortable with something.”

The speed at which the closing came also proved diffi cult, with customers and employees having to digest the unsetting news over a matter of several days. But that might be a good thing.

“It just all happened so quickly, so it probably hasn’t sunk in, yet,” Jo-Ann Gaboury says of leaving the business. “It’s probably for the best that it’s happening so quickly, because you don’t have time to dwell on it, have a pity party or whatever.”

The crew and their customers could be forgiven if for just a few days they wallowed in a bit of misery and gulped down large servings of nostalgia. They were, after all, losing their “Cheers.” As 30-year waitress Barbara Sachs put it, “It breaks my heart to leave. It’s family.”

Out of the sorrow, however, something new is on the horizon, if Fullerton sees his plans to fruition, and Jo-Ann Gaboury sees that as a good thing.

“There have been many tears. It is the end of an era,” she concedes. “But progress is good and new things are good.”

NO PETTY THOUGHTS: Just about everybody has an opinion about the dramatic takeover of the Telegram & Gazette by the Florida-based Halifax Media Group. Plenty of folks also have thoughts about Red Sox billionaire owner John Henry. Remember him? He acquired the T&G last year when he bought The Boston Globe. When he visited the newsroom in November, he said he would try to fi nd a local owner and if he was unsuccessfulhe told employees they’d be “stuck” with him. We know how that turned out. Ex-Lieutenant Gov. Tim Murray has certainly not shied away from voicing his displeasure with Henry. You can count Mayor Joe Petty among those who probably won’t be sending Henry a Christmas card. “I think John Henry stuck it to us,” Petty says of Henry’s sale of the T&G to a way-out-of-town owner. Sources say the price tag was between $15-$20 million. The ensuing layoffs of about two dozen employees did nothing to smooth any ruffl ed feathers. “It left a bad taste in my mouth,” Petty says. “There are good people at the T&G. It’s a shame it was done that way, but maybe that is just the way it is.” While Worcester County waits to see what the future holds for the daily paper, Petty hopes to see a continued focus on local stories. “We need a good daily paper,” he says. “I guess time will tell us what this is all about.”

MR. MAYOR ECONOMOU: Worcesteria has told you previously about speculation that District 1 City Councilor Tony Economou is considering a run for mayor in 2015. Turns out he didn’t want to wait that long. There was Economou sitting up high in the mayor’s chair inside Council chambers Monday, June 2, presiding over a council meeting and being referred to as

“Mr. Mayor.” Alas, it was a mock Council meeting with two third-grade classes from Chandler Magnet Elementary School and Chandler Street Elementary School, something Economou has done since his fi rst term. He gave the kids a tour of the mayor’s offi ce, then took them into the Esther Howland Chamber, where councilors meet every week (twice-a-month meetings are coming up soon for the summer). He explained what they do (insert your own jokes here) and then held a “meeting.” On the agenda were three items councilors have dealt with previously: whether animals should be allowed to

perform in circuses in Worcester, whether to build a dog park in the city and whether residents should be required to recycle at least half their trash. Unlike the real Council meetings, which can sometimes drag on for

a couple hours, this one fl ew by as “councilors” kept their remarks short and sweet and to the point. All three measures passed, by the way, with unanimous, 11-0 votes in favor of animals in the circus and recycling at least half the trash in a household. The dog park proposal passed 10-1, with one boy concerned that a dog might bite somebody and be taken away by animal control. One observer had this to say: “They actually made more sense than the City Council.

A HILL IN CITY HALL: The city has dipped into the world of news media for its new communications specialist, hiring John Hill, who goes from writing about Worcester for the online site MassLive to working under City Manager Ed Augustus Jr. In his new role the 31-year-old Hill, who was born in Worcester and grew up right next door in Auburn, will prepare talking points for the City Manager, craft press releases and tend to social media. Oh, and he’ll deal with his former colleagues in the media making crazy information requests on impossible deadlines. One thing is certain: He is a long ways from laid back California, where up until returning to the East Coast last year he had covered City Hall news for The Press Enterprise in Riverside. Hill, whose father owns Jazzbo Landscaping on June Street, fi gures he’s up to the task. “I think the basic tenets are the same,” he says of being in media relations versus being a reporter. “It’s about getting information to people. Obviously, there’s a little more discretion required when you work for the city. I don’t think that’s a bighurdle to overcome.”

BACK IN THE GAME: Former At-Large City Councilor Mike Germain was bumped from the ranks of city government in last year’s election, but politics is famous for resurrecting careers and he is hoping to do just that with a run in the 17th Worcester District. Germain was expected to announce this week his bid to replace ex-Democratic state Rep. John Binienda, who has held the seat for nearly 30 years, before health problems forced him to unwillingly head to the sidelines. A union favorite, Germain was set to deliver the formal news at the IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) building on Mill Street on Wednesday, June 4. There are questions about his candidacy, including the health of his back, which has been an issue for years. Some also question his commitment, given that he famously missed several Council meetings during his tenure. Germain has his work cut out for him, with a Democratic Primary in September against Moses Dixon, a young activist and former aide to state Rep. Mary Keefe, D-Worcester, who just may be poised for a surprise win. He will also face Leicester Selectman Doug Belanger, another candidate with union ties as the business agent for United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1445. The winner of that primary will square off against another young, up-and-comer, Republican Kate Campanale, also of Leicester.

SUCH A TEASE: District 2 City Councilor Phil Palmieri is “this” close to formally announcing what he has already formally announced, sort of. You may recall that Palmieri held a fundraiser recently at Sweet on Shrewsbury Street, where all sorts of political heavyweights turned out to hear him say he is defi nitely challenging Democratic state Rep. Mary Keefe in a primary. Only that was not his formal, formal announcement. Palmieri has still not released anything to the press, but he promises he is close to doing so. In recent months, he has become as vocal as ever on the Council fl oor, announcing one initiative after another in his district - sometimes setting up some awkward moments, given that the colleague and friend to his immediate left in the chamber, District 4 Councilor Sarai Rivera, is a close political ally and backer of Keefe.Do stay tuned!

DRESSED TO KILL: Longtime Telegram & Gazette City Hall scribe Nick Kotsopolous sported black pants at this week’s City Council meeting, which is notable only because he is a blue jeans kind of guy, through and through. Why the wardrobe change? Because the paper’s new owners, the Halifax Media Group, is enforcing a no-jeans policy. Apparently, they’re enforcing a no-retirement policy, too, given that their benefi ts package reportedly does not include a 401K match or pension. The company also clamped down on social media use, telling employees they could not Tweet or Facebook any news regarding their takeover. The group recently fi nalized the purchase of the 148-year-old daily from John “You Don’t See Me” Henry.

PLAY BALL! It has been more than a year since anything other than college ball has been played atHanover Insurance Park at Fitton Field. That all changes Thursday night, June 5 - sort of. College-aged kids will take to the fi eld for the fi rst game of the 2014 Future of Summer Collegiate Baseball League season. The Futures League, as it is commonly called, takes kids from colleges around the country - and even some players fresh out of high school - and puts them in a 10-team, wood-bat format, where they play during the summer. The action promises to be fast and furious, as many of the players have their eyes on the ultimate prize - the Major Leagues. There just may be a young stud or two on the Worcester Bravehearts, the newest entry into the league who come along two seasons after the Worcester Tornadoes went belly up in the CanAm Baseball League. The team is owned by John Creedon Jr. and managed by Alex Trezza, a 2001 draft of the Detroit Tigers and fi ve-year veteran of the Tornadoes (the Bravehearts have many ties to the Tornadoes, including Jack Riley, whose Dad, Eddie, spent time with them. Eddie Riley also spent several years in the Red Sox organization). The fun in Worcester starts Thursday night at 7:05, when the Bravehearts host the Pittsfi eld Suns. There are home games right through Monday, against the Wachusett Dirt Dawgs, who played in an exhibition game here Tuesday night, June 3, the Nashua Silver Nights and the Seacoast Mavericks. If you’re wondering about cost, the most expensive seat will run you $9, which is not much more than you’d pay for a beer at Fenway.

commentary | opinions{slants& rants}

The Democrats are coming to town. The Party’s state convention takes place here in Worcester at the DCU Center, from June 13-14. Delegates will endorse Senator Ed Markey, who has to run

again this fall after his victory in a special election just a year ago. They will enthusiastically welcome Senator Elizabeth Warren and smile at journalists attracted to Worcester by Warren’s rising national profi le. And they will bid a warm and grateful farewell, at least for now, to Governor Deval Patrick. In their hearts they hope to see him again someday, perhaps as a candidate for President. Finally, in their most important business, delegates from across the state will endorse candidates for state-wide offi ces. Candidates compete for majority support but anyone receiving the votes of 15 percent of the delegates can go forwards to the primary in September.

Most important is the race to take on Republican Charles Baker and succeed Governor Patrick. State Attorney General Martha Coakley and State Treasurer Steve Grossman are all but guaranteed a place on the primary ballot. Three additional candidates---Juliette Kayyem, Joe Avellone and Don Burwick---are hoping to provide Democratic voters with additional options. Each claims to have that cherished 15 percent, a near statistical impossibility unless Coakely or Grossman has crashed. Their hopeful attitude is undoubtedly occasioned by the friendly response Massachusetts Democrats give to party campaigners.

Coakley and Grossman are well known. At a time when people are widely disenchanted with government, they are almost too familiar. The three other candidates hope to capture the outsider, come-from-behind, reform appeal that carried Governor Patrick to offi ce eight years ago. That might work well in the fall campaign but it is a harder sell to a convention composed of people who have helped elect the sitting Governor and the commanding Democratic majorities in the state Legislature. So visitors should not expect to hear serious policy debates at the DCU Center next week.

Once upon a time a few Massachusetts Democrats hoped it might be different, that a day would come when state party conventions would actually deliberate on policy. Together elected delegates would develop platforms and expect state offi ce holders and elected members of the Senate and House to support its provisions or risk a challenge at the next election. That has never happened and the result is that governors elected to change things, Republicans or Democrats, are often stymied by the Legislature. The Senate and House are solidly Democratic, and the vast majority of members run unopposed. The situation is made even worse by the power of the leaders--the House Speaker and the Senate President—who exert control over every area from offi ce space and committee appointments to legislative agendas and budget priorities. The result is that, while voters often admire their governors and like their local senator and representative, they distrust the state Legislature and even in Massachusetts they have less and less respect for government.

Still, perhaps the delegates will discuss policy a little as they enjoy the parties thrown by the candidates. Here are a few items they might talk about:

What do recent failures in probation offi ces and the Department of Children and Family Services reveal about the Legislature’s record on setting budgets and overseeing the work of state departments?

How should the Legislature be reformed to break the unaccountable stranglehold of the leaders and insure that responsibility is properly distributed among all members?

Can the Democratic party in the state fi nd the courage to challenge the state’s regressive tax system which relies on an all but fl at income tax and a sales tax that falls disproportionately on poor people and working families? The progressive income tax was once the backbone of progressive politics. Now it is a third rail

even Governor Patrick stayed away from until he entered his lasts years as Governor.

Can the party respond to the expected Republican attacks on public employee unions not only by supporting those unions but speaking up for the basic democratic idea of labor and community organization? Individual citizens on their own have little power. If people want to be good citizens, to do effective public work, they need to be organized to make their voices heard. The public interest will matter when we all work to protect it. Labor unions are an asset to the commonwealth and its communities. In their absence wealth has its way, wages decline, and market forces, not civic engagement, defi nes the public interest. We need more, not fewer, labor unions and more public spirited community and professional organizations.

Finally, if you run into Democratic delegates from Central Massachusetts, ask them what the party intends to do about its decline in this part of the state. The personal popularity of Congressman Jim McGovern and a few state senators like Harriet Chandler and the outgoing Steve Brewer obscure the fact that Democrats consistently lose almost all the towns in the region except Worcester. Even traditional Democratic strongholds like Clinton have been voting for Republicans in recent years. Markey, Warren and Governor Patrick have reason to love Worcester but little reason to pay attention to Central Massachusetts. So far few Democrats seem to notice as the Republicans stubbornly ignore what they might learn from this historic shift. But the day may come when the state GOP will pay attention, and, when that happens, Democrats will need to face up to their problems. They could use a nudge next week as they enjoy our Worcester hospitality.

Worcester’s medical resourcesDear Editor,

Forty years ago, May 26, 1974, my youngest child was born, prematurely, at the UMass Medical Center. Weighing less than fi ve pounds, the size of a miniature football, our new born hovered at death’s door. Unfortunately, at that time, Memorial Hospital lacked a neonatal unit, so, in the middle of the night, an ambulance rushed the tiny infant to Mass General Hospital in Boston. The staff on Burnam Ward, the neonatal unit at MGH, saved our baby’s life.

Thus, I was heartened to read in “An Epidemic of Preterm Births,” Worcester Magazine, May 22, 2014, that the dangerous journey our child underwent would no longer be necessary for a preterm child born under similar circumstances. With the advent of UMass Memorial’s Level III nursery, preterm babies receive all the superb care previously available only in Boston.

Thank you, Wanda Curtis for contributing such a well written article explaining that, once again, Worcester has acquired the medical resources of a truly fi rst class city. HARVEY FENIGSOHNWorcester

SunBURNEDT&G feels the heat with sale to Florida-based media group

Walter Bird Jr.

Michael Corleone once famously said to his ill-fated brother, “It’s not personal, Sonny. It’s strictly business.” It was a turning point in the classic fi lm,

“The Godfather,” with actor Al Pacino’s law-abiding, war hero character offering to assassinate a corrupt police captain and a mob hood believed responsible

for having his father gunned down. Like so many other memorable lines from that movie - perhaps

none more so than Don Vito Corleone’s “I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse” - the words have

remained forever etched into pop culture. continued on page 20

They seem particularly appropriate in the aftermath of the sale of a Worcester media institution, the Telegram & Gazette to an out-of-town, billionaire group of investors - and the ensuing elimination of about 24 jobs earlier this week. While buying and selling a company, and fi ring people who in many cases have given their heart and soul to the job, is all a part of doing business, nothing could have seemed more personal than the layoffs on Monday, June 2 of some two dozen employees on a day that may go down in T&G history as “Monday, Bloody Monday.” Out the doors is editor Leah Lamson, although the public position is she left voluntarily. Other management types were also laid off, as was the paper’s lone Statehouse reporter. Later in the day, it was Tweeted out that longtime investigative reporter Shaun Sutner had quit and will take another job.

Having heard the cuts described as a “bloodletting,” former T&G publisher Harry T. Whitin III sees them in a much more darker light: “I don’t think it was as much a bloodletting as it was a massacre,” he says. “Bloodletting carries with it the tone of something good as a medical term. That certainly does not sound like the case, here.”

The proverbial bloodshed appears to be over for now. In its wake is a 148-year-old newspaper whose physical make-up looks dramatically different than a week ago and whose future is a question mark to a staff that continued to toil away tirelessly even as it knew the axe was about to fall on some of them. Gone are many familiar names - reporters, photographers, managers, online developers - as well as an absentee billionaire owner in John Henry who had promised to try to sell the T&G to a local owner. In

place is a Florida-based ownership, The Halifax Media Group, that is just four years old and whose stable of more than 30 other newspapers has its roots in the Southeast. The T&G marks the fi rst Northeast newspaper acquisition for the company, which is backed by Arkansas billionaire Warren Stephens. Left is a staff of 156 - down from 180 and a shadow of the approximately 500 who were on the T&G payroll at the start of the millennium. Remaining are questions galore:

Who is the Halifax Media Group? What is their track record and what are their plans for the largest daily newspaper in Central Mass.? Did John Henry ever truly intend to sell locally? How did it all go down inside the newsroom at 100 Front St. when employees learned their fate? How is the community reacting to the sale of and loss of some familiar faces at a newspaper that has spanned 28 presidents, two World Wars, the Great Depression, not to mention countless births, deaths and high school graduations throughout Worcester County?

Some of the questions have easy answers, others not so much. In an industry where

the one constant truly is change, it is hard to predict what the future holds for the T&G. One thing is certain: a new era has begun and the eyes of a region will be watching as the pages turn on each new chapter being written in the paper’s history. But who, exactly, is writing it? Who is the Halifax Media Group and how did it acquire the T&G?

SELLING THE T&GSo far, the new ownership has said very little publicly about its latest acquisition. The company has added the T&G logo to its website, nestling it in with the logos of 33 other publications - all much farther south than Worcester, Mass. In his only published statement, Chief Executive Offi cer Michael Redding says, “The T&G has a special connection with the Worcester market and its readers and advertisers. We understand and celebrate the importance of staying connected to the communities we serve and have a strong commitment in continuing that tradition in Worcester.”

It was part of a carefully-crafted story in the T&G that made no mention of how many employees were shown the door this week; the staff numbered about 180 before the layoffs, and the story says there are now 156 employees, meaning 24 people were let go. Sources say 17 came from the editorial staff, which had boasted 81 workers. That would mean there are now roughly 64 editorial employees at the T&G.

The cuts came more than a week after it was announced that Henry, who acquired the newspaper last year when he bought it

with the Boston Globe from The New York Times Co., was selling it to the Halifax Media Group. An exact sale price has not been made public, but one news report says it was sold for $19 million. Whitin, who along with Worcester-area businessman Ralph Crowley Jr., owner of Polar Beverages Corp., had previously tried to wrest the Telegram away from the New York Times Co., once more sniffed around when he learned Henry was selling. While he would not offer specifi cs, he says the threshold set by Henry was exorbitant. Whitin believes the paper probably sold for between $15-$20 million, more than double what the New York Times Co. valued it at in court documents. Henry, who waited several weeks after buying the T&G before making his one and only visit to the newsroom, told staff in November that he hoped to sell to a local buyer and that if he was unsuccessful, “You’re stuck with me.”

Soon after, however, word leaked out that he was asking in the double-fi gure millions for what was essentially a throw-in when he bought The Globe. That invited the wrath of former Lt. Gov. Tim Murray, now the president and CEO of the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce. He warned that an infl ated asking price could scare off local buyers. Whitin admits the interest on his part and Crowley’s never got to the discussion stages.

“I had the experience of sending a letter [to Henry] and never getting a response,” he says. “I told him I was interested in exploring the notion of local ownership, of having him hold onto the paper and using it as a test for things he might want to try in Boston.”

Neither Whitin nor Crowley ever met with Henry.

“The only people we ever talked to were the people paid to sell the newspaper,” Whitin says. “There were no negotiations. We were never in the position of being able to negotiate. It was always, ‘Here’s the threshold.’ John Henry had stripped the company of all its hard assets.”

Henry was not parting with the Millbury printing plant as part of the sale, setting up the possibility that he might move his printing operations there when he sells the Boston Globe property. The Globe currently prints the T&G out of Boston. Henry also held onto what Whitin says was millions of dollars worth of printing equipment.

“All he was selling was the T&G name, it’s circulation base, its advertising base and a 10-year lease on offi ce space,” Whitin says. “The price he got was in excess of what anybody reasonably trying to produce a quality newspaper would be willing to pay.”

If Henry was telling his new employees he wanted a local buyer, it appears to have been little more than lip service.

“It was all about the money,” Whitin says. “It really was all about the money. The notion of local ownership was ... appealing, but not defi ning.”

THE NEW GUYS IN TOWNThe Halifax Media Group was established in 2010 and is headquartered in Daytona Beach, Fla., where it bought its fi rst newspaper, The Daytona Beach News-Journal. The group has 35 newspapers and websites published in fi ve states. Massachusetts, of course, makes it six. Redding

has rarely been quoted in the media - he did not respond to multiple requests for comment for this story - and the company itself is somewhat of an unknown commodity. What is known is, in a short period of time, it has become a power player in the news industry. One year after forming, it bought the New York Times regional group for $143 million in 2011. A short time later, in 2012, picked up 19 daily

and weekly publications in Florida from Freedom Communications.

Its modus operandi, based on reports from other news outlets such as poynter.org, has involved newsroom layoffs. As for its management style, one online employee rating site offers a less than fl attering portrait. One comment on the site says, “Cutting back severely on staff, so expect to feel overworked and stressed out. Benefi ts are OK, but the pay is not up to par; don’t expect raises. Expect more criticism than praise.”

An employee at the T&G says the benefi ts package is OK, but for health insurance coverage only one choice was offered, whereas employees previously had multiple options. There is also a report that employees were given a slight pay raise. The benefi ts do not include a pension or 401K match, according to the employee.

Another comment on the online rating site refers to “questionable” and “sneaky” ethics on the part of the Halifax Media Group. Another says, “Management gives contradictory messages of what they want the advertising sales staff to accomplish.”

The company received a rating of 1.9 stars out of fi ve on the site.

Media Group as having a business-friendly “booster-ish editorial tone.”

In an open letter to readers in April, Kevin Drake, the new publisher of the Ledger Media Group and The Ledger of Lakeland, Fla., talks about continuing relationships with organizations like United Way and area chambers of commerce. He also promises a new direction in editorial content. The Ledger actually has a tie to the T&G, in that Drake replaces interim publisher Allen Parsons, who this week was named interim publisher of the Telegram. He supplants interim publisher James Hopson.

“You will see a change in our editorial position,” Drake says of The Ledger. “Our editorials will advocate for our community and the potential we have here. We will support free enterprise and the benefi ts that come with a stronger economy. A thriving business environment elevates a community. We will point out positive opportunities for our city, county and state. Our award-winning editorial efforts to keep government accountable will continue.”

There has been some hand-wringing around these parts over whether and how the Halifax Media Group might change the editorial tone of the T&G. It is notable, then, that its conservative-leaning editorial page editor, Chris Sinacola, was not among those said to have been laid off. Its two columnists, Dianne Williamson and Clive McFarland, also appear to have survived.

Just how involved the Halifax Media Group will be in the actual content of the T&G remains to be seen, although one employee says Redding, who reportedly waited to come into the newsroom until after the layoffs were completed and provided sandwiches to the survivors, promised a hands-off approach. The employee also says, however, that the news story the T&G published about the sale and layoffs had to fi rst be approved by the new management. While not unheard of, it could, given some of the company’s previous moves - when it acquired the Daytona Beach News-Journal, online comments were eliminated - give readers some pause. Employees were also given strict direction not to comment to other media outlets or Tweet about the layoffs, according to a source. That word apparently came long after many employees had taken to Twitter to air their concerns as they gathered early Monday awaiting their fate. One employee actually Tweeted out the names of colleagues as they were laid off.

Just as there is some mystery surrounding the Halifax Media Group and Redding, there is little public vetting of the man leading the three private investment fi rms behind Halifax. According to poynter.org, in addition to Halifax, the billionaire Stephens has a media group that includes 11 western dailies.

If readers, advertisers and employees of the T&G are looking for a silver lining, a 2012 interview with Steve Forbes on www.forbes.

com about the acquisition of the New York Times group might offer it. In it, Stephens talks of the importance of the print media.

“I don’t think the news gathering aspects of magazines or newspapers are going to go away,” Stephens says. “I think at some point in time there’s going to be a realization that the professionalism of the reporters, the editors, the people that determine what’s going to make it into a publication and what’s not going to make it into a publication is actually worth something.

“In newspapers’ particular case, I just don’t think there’s any way you’re ever going to get local news, sports, politics from any other source but your local newspaper.

The purchase of the New York Times group – most of those papers are pretty small newspapers by most standards. We’re very optimistic that we can improve their operations, but also that in the long run those are going to be great, long-term assets for us.”

WHAT WENT DOWNStephens’ rosy outlook on newspapers might be of little immediate solace to those who lost their jobs at

the T&G this week, and for the friends and colleagues they left behind. Whether the layoffs could have been handled in a different manner can be debated, but there was palpable anger and frustration on the part of staffers during and after the cuts - not to mention many tears. One employee Tweeted out in anguish: “There must be a more humane way to do this.”

Employees say they were told to be in the offi ce at 9:30 a.m. Monday. One worker, however, says the layoffs did not start until after 10, leaving staff members to sit at their desks or mill around the newsroom in nervous anticipation.

“It was a terrible process,” the employee says. “The person would get called on their phone, go upstairs, come back down and be gone. A lot of people were grumbling that it was a really callous process. There was a lot of tension. It was a very terrible day for the T&G.”

We’ll see what happens with the new ownership group. But this

reinforces the frustration a lot of us have had over the process.

- Tim Murray, Worcester Chamber of Commerce president and CEO

The Telegram, of course, has lost employees before, but in many of those cases it was through voluntary buyouts. There were no buyouts offered as part of this sale, only severance pay. The fact that signifi cant layoffs were deemed inevitable with the deal for the T&G turned off some prospective buyers, according to former Worcester Magazine owner Allen Fletcher, who says he spoke with one industry insider who “told me he specifi cally did not bid on it because he knew whoever did was going to have to cut.”

The staff cuts did not come as a surprise; in disclosing the pending sale to his now-former staff, Hopson had warned that not every employee would keep his or her job.

“Anyone familiar with balance sheets knew this was coming,” Fletcher says, adding that does not mean the layoffs will not hurt. “None of this makes you feel optimistic about [the future]. Really, the sort of burden of editorial continuity ... is carried by the staff, not by leadership. This does not bode well. Anyone who has been in management, you’re concerned about the productivity [of the staff] and if they become demoralized

and passive-aggressive and a bunch of other things. It’s really diffi cult to see them picking up and soldiering on with extraordinary vigor.”

What lent to the gloomy overtone of the staff cuts was the real-time narrative made available to the public through social media. For more than a week leading up to what

one Tweeter referred to as “D-Day,” some employees posted daily - in some cases multiple times daily - about the impending doom. Some chose dark humor as a means of coping with it, with one Tweeter promising that Human Resources would determine whether it was OK to say “dead man walking” to a colleague as they walked by. Another employee used Twitter to ask questions of HR, such as whether those who declined a job

offer would receive severance pay. On the actual day of the layoffs - and

presumably before the edict of no use of social media about the cuts - followers were able to learn the names of those who lost their jobs almost as the layoffs actually occurred. Fletcher recalls when he sold Worcester Magazine, his editor at the time took to Facebook, which was then in its infancy, about his job.

“People said, ‘Isn’t that unseemly?’ I said, ‘Yeah, it is. But it is his right. He’s not doing anything illegal,” Fletcher says. “It was regarded as weird. Now it is what it is. Social media actually has an infl uence. I think it is strange, but I don’t think it is going to affect anything. It just turns into this spectator sport.”

FALLOUTWith the sale now complete and the rubble of cuts being swept away, there are other matters worth considering for the T&G. There is also the court of public opinion, which by and large has rendered a less than positive initial review of the moves made by the new owner. Business-wise, it bears watching what happens with the Millbury printing plant. The plan all along, says Whitin, has been for Henry to convert the building into the center of printing operations for The Globe and all its contract printing jobs. In that regard, says Whitin, the Millbury plant has the footprint to host a large operation.

The rub, however, is the printing process

is different. Flexo presses, a water-based technology, have been used. Many mid-sized papers purchased those types of presses, Whitin says, while older, bigger papers are still using the offset printing process. It is, he says, unlikely that the Millbury plant would

use the Flexo presses for printing purposes again.

“The Globe would either buy presses or move presses out to Millbury,” he says.

Another possibility could be the Wall Street Journal printing plant in Chicopee.

“They may be interested in selling,” Whitin says. “There are a lot of offset printers that could be moved to Millbury.”

Advertising is another area to keep an eye on. The question, Whitin says, is what

happens with owners of one or two big box stores, now that The Globe is not attached to the T&G?

“Are they willing to invest in Worcester County when they probably had a deal with Worcester and Boston to reach a much bigger market?”

With Redding and the Halifax Media Group not divulging its immediate plans, it is not known whether the Sunday Travel and Arts sections of The Globe that run in the T&G will remain.

“If it loses those Globe sections, it’s going to have to do something,” Whitin says, noting those sections are “moderately profi table.”

The T&G’s business future aside, there is a readership that, despite the love-hate relationship many may have with the daily, has grown up with and become reliant upon it. The paper’s infl uence was obvious on Monday, when several folks took to Twitter and started the hash tag #SupporttheTelegramStaff. The gestures did not go unnoticed.

“It’s very heartening,” one employee says of the Tweets that were sent out. “It’s good to see. On the one hand, we don’t want people feeling sorry for us, but it is gratifying to

know we mean something to the community.”There are some hard feelings in and around

Worcester as people wait to see what becomes of the T&G.

“First, you feel badly for people being laid off,” Murray says. “We’ll see what happens with the new ownership group. But this reinforces the frustration a lot of us have had over the process.”

Others share similar sentiments, including Robert Mastrovito of Worcester, who says, “It’s sad that they have to lose their jobs. They got families, they got homes. Bottom line, it’s sad that people have to get laid off and I feel sad for them. To me, what it’s all about in America. It’s greed.”

Another Worcesterite, Mary Macomber, offered this indictment on the new

ownership: “I think it’s really sad. I thought the company would care more about the people working there than selling out for a profi t.”

Ian Griffi n, also of Worcester, acknowledges the process probably was not a simple one, but says, “On a knee-jerk reaction, I want to say it stinks that it didn’t stay local.”

It appears to some that the Halifax Media Group, not unlike many businesses, has its collective eye trained on the bottom line.

“They’re just looking at the value proposition, they’re not looking at the community proposition,” says Dan Shertzer of Worcester, who adds that having an owner from out of town is not dissimilar to recent times. He points out that both Henry and

the New York Times Co. were not local. “In some ways, it’s not that different and in some ways, it’s very different. The New York Times and John Henry, they are a little more in touch about relevant issues that are local, while Halifax has private equity investment more than making sure news is reported unbiased. That’s a little concerning.”

What, then, could the new ownership group do to ingratiate themselves to Worcester and its surrounding towns? The fi rst step, says Fletcher, is to hire a permanent publisher with his or fi nger on the pulse of the community.

“I think the best thing they can do is hire a publisher who comes in and establishes himself or herself as a local person,” says Fletcher. “Plant a fl ag as having a local commitment, and that’s not easy to do. I don’t envy the next person wading into the fray. They’ve got to make the effort and make good on the effort to show they care about this thing.”

ONE Redux: Art Without Limits

Jacleen Charbonneau

ArtsWorcester’s June exhibition, “ONE Redux,” will be an exploration of local talent by showcasing original artwork by artists, without limits.

“At ArtsWorcester, we work to exhibit and promote local artists,” says Juliet Feibel, executive director of ArtsWorcester. “We give them exhibition opportunities, we help them get sales … we provide professional skill development. All of our exhibits and our openings are open to the public and free of charge.” This summer’s exhibit, “ONE Redux,” is no exception.

While many art shows are presented with specifi c themes, “ONE Redux” is just the opposite, with a full spectrum of thought and creativity on display. “This is an open member exhibit with no theme, no limits,” says Feibel. “There is no medium specifi city. This is simply the one piece [the artist] wants to show.”

Artists included in this year’s “ONE Redux” exhibit range from all over the Worcester area, from all walks of life. With nearly 80 artists participating in this open member show, a rich variety of media will be offered, ranging from alabaster to latex.

One of the exhibit’s featured pieces is by painter Jennifer Amenta, who recently moved to the area from Canada with a Visual Arts degree from York University. Amenta will be displaying her piece, “Urban Warrior” (acrylic on canvas 12x12), a painting of a stern man in the city streets. Her work is already gaining momentum; the painting appears on the front page of ArtWorcester’s website, offering a teaser to the show.

“My piece, in this instance, is a rather serious, kind of in-your-face looking man walking down the street in the city, and he’s kind of staring to say, ‘What’s your problem?’” says Amenta, who prefers acrylic painting among other art choices. “I like his image because he looks tough, but he’s actually quite thin.”

Amenta’s painting is one of many from her urban-themed collection titled “Urban Portraits.” Its focus is on simple strangers found within the city.

“Each [portrait] involves one to two people … usually engaged in some kind of activity that is typical, even if they’re just

walking down the street drinking coffee, or they’re on their cell phones,” explains Amenta. “It’s an examination of sort of how we portray ourselves in a public space.”

Another work of art that will be on view at “ONE Redux” is that of longtime oil painter, Peter Wise. His submitted work, “Virginia Woolf, Sitting” (oil on canvas, 36 x 44 inches), includes a unique portrait of the early 20th-century writer.

“[My] work … hopefully encourages the viewers to acquaint themselves, or re-acquaint themselves, with the writing of Virginia Woolf, exploring the synergy between word and image (that) I fi nd fascinating in her fi ction,” explains Wise.

Wise became dedicated to his craft in 1986 during his recovery of US Army-related injuries. He uses a variety of techniques to capture historical elements in his work.

“The use of photography and the Internet to fi nd [subjects of a historical nature] is quite important to me,” says Wise, who has been a member of ArtsWorcester for the past 30 years. “Most often, I grid off [a] photographic image and expand it, transposing an initial drawing to the grounded canvas or board.” Usually, Wise says, “I work from monochromatic photographs to color paintings, which allows for a good deal of imagination and transformation of the original.”

With a variety of original techniques used by a diverse set of artists, “ONE Redux” will offer a visual buffet that should satisfy almost any art enthusiast. ArtsWorcester, which recently celebrated its 35th anniversary, will make the exhibition in the Aurora Gallery public on Sunday, June 6 at its opening reception, from 6-9 p.m. The gallery will remain open through June 28 on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Visits outside of this timeframe will be available by appointment. The exhibit is free of charge, and donations are always accepted.

“This is a chance for local artists to show what they are most excited about,” says Feibel. “Whether it be the best work that they’ve done this year, (but) they’ve not had an opportunity to show yet, whether it be a new direction, or trying out a new medium. This is a time that they can strut their stuff or take a risk.”

‘Degree of Overlap’ at Sprinkler Factory showcases student workCorlyn Voorhees

As several recent Assumption College graduates transition from the classroom to the world ahead, they will experience having their artwork on display in a professional gallery as part of the Sprinkler Factory's June exhibition, “Degree of Overlap.”

Held from June 7-28, the exhibition will feature more than 60 pieces of artwork by Assumption College 2014 graduates. The annual show, sponsored by Assumption College, is a culmination of two classes, Senior Art Studio Seminar and Senior Seminar in Graphic Design, taught by Thomas Grady, a visiting assistant professor of Art at Assumption.

“The Sprinkler Factory show is a chance for students to have a more professional gallery show off campus and it’s something that was started three years ago,” says Grady. “The students wanted that experience and that’s how it started.”

The classes met together weekly for a semester to critique the work, talk as a group about it, write artist statements and, eventually, present their project at a show in the Emmanuel d'Alzon Library on campus. The Sprinkler Factory exhibition concludes the semester-long project. Grady admits the library show “isn’t really a gallery experience,” and says, “students wanted more. I wanted more for them, as well. [The Sprinkler Factory show] came out of a necessity.”

Grady, who majored in Illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design and received a master’s in Visual Arts at the Art Institute of

Boston at Lesley University, understands the effort students are required to put into their work as an art major himself.

“I know how hard you have to work to be good at it,” he says. “The last two exhibits we’ve had, work sold, which is nice. It gives the students confi dence.”

The “Degrees of Overlap” exhibit will feature artwork by 18 students who majored in Studio Art and/or Graphic Design, including Sara Bonnick, Kyle MacGovern, Courtney Parece, Alyssa Connell, Jennifer Chapman, Jessica Reimers, Lauren Brown, William Phillips, Nicola Mercer, Sadiya Bruce, Ben Gadwah, Lindsey MacLean, Danielle Oullette, Ania Szemiot, Caitlin Reilly, Jen King, Alyssa Lombardi and Karalyn McCann. The projects consist of a variety of artistic mediums, including crochet, graphic design, illustration, oil paintings, photography, raku pottery, typography, video installation and visual illusions.

“It’s a completely different audience than at Assumption,” says Karalyn McCann, who majored in visual arts with a concentration in secondary and elementary art, of the Sprinkler Factory show. McCann, whose project is on raku pottery, a type of Japanese pottery, is pleased they, as students, were able to choose their own projects.

“I wanted to have a more hands-on approach to pottery and focus more on what the pottery was doing,” she says of her goal with the project. “I liked that I could focus on the process of the pottery.”

Taking a different approach is Graphic

Design student Ben Gadwah. “I designed a new typeface,” he says. “I wanted to pick something that I hadn’t done before.”

Gadwah says the timeframe for the project was benefi cial. “Having so much time, it can go so much longer and so much more intricate,” he says. Of the exhibit at the Sprinkler Factory, Gadwah says, “It’s cool because people can come see it. People are coming to see something I did.”

Graphic Design and Accounting student Ania Szemiot agrees with Gadwah. “It was a nice way to end your four years at Assumption,” she says. “It’s a nice capstone because it brings everything together.”

Szemiot’s project is about alternative prosthetic limbs, from which she took inspiration from a company she found in London.

Grady admits that he also had fun with the class. “I get to learn and do cool stuff with students,” he says. “It’s what I love about teaching.”

“Degrees of Overlap” opens Saturday, June 7 with a reception from 6-8 p.m. at the Sprinkler Factory, 38 Harlow St., Worcester. Complimentary refreshments will be served, and musician Aaron Dibiasio will perform. The exhibit runs through June 28. The gallery is open Saturday and Sunday, from 12-4 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

John Legend’s extraordinary performance at Hanover Jacleen Charbonneau

John Legend’s performance at The Hanover Theatre as part of his “All of Me Tour” on Monday night was nothing short of a spectacular performance. The concert began with a pitch-black stadium anticipating Legend’s appearance and an ensemble of strings starting off strong with a powerful instrumental introduction.

Legend quickly made his appearance in the spotlight, and the crowd of all ages roared. Legend looked sharp in a full black suit, black pressed shirt and shiny black shoes, accented with a burgundy pocket square; accompanying musicians’ attire matched Legend’s in color. Those who had the privilege of sitting onstage in chairs behind the singer’s piano arrangement, winning their place there on WXLO’s radio contest, also dressed in dark colors, giving the stage a classy appearance.

Although described as an acoustic performance on Hanover Theatre’s website, the stage far exceeded the usual stool-and-microphone setup. With a black piano atop a burgundy rug that took center stage, Legend’s musicians surrounded him: three violinists and a cellist to his right, and a guitarist to his left.

Undeniably, romance was the main focus of the night. With a neutral-colored backdrop that gave an illusion of velvet curtains, lights of all colors refl ected onto the decorative

piece. The colors seemed to corresponded with the songs; Legend’s song “Green Light” was complemented with a green-lit backdrop. Occasionally, the stage’s six spotlights shined out into the audience, giving the sense of audience inclusion. At times, spotlights gave the illusion of transparent silk, and a plethora of candle-like light bulbs surrounded those who sat onstage, similar to the atmosphere of a fi ne dining experience. Legend’s light strategy was soft and subtle, but it truly

succeeded in capturing the romantic element of his music.

The way Legend interacted with his audience proves him a true gentleman. Inviting the audience to imagine the concert as one in his living room, Legend treated attendees as guests in his home. The singer shared stories – some tugging at heart strings

– including his wish that his grandmother, who taught him piano, was still alive to see his success. He even took a comedic route, giving away his father’s secrets to a woman’s heart: endless shrimp. Guests responded favorably to Legend’s performance, some sniffl ing back tears and wiping away smudged mascara.

A high point during Legend’s performance was his perfected high notes. Singing a total of 20 songs, high notes made an appearance frequently, resulting in emotional goosebumps, supportive cheers, and the occasional “I love you, John Legend.” And with a voice that could melt butter, Legend’s live singing voice was as crisp as it is on his albums. His ability to articulate his words while singing, each word pronounced clearly, only led to a more powerful performance.

The Ohio-born singer sampled songs from his entire career, including songs separate from his albums, like “Tonight (Best You Ever Had),” from Think Like a Man Soundtrack

and “Dancing in the Dark,” a tribute to 2013 MusiCares Person Of The Year, Bruce Springsteen. Legend also offered a taste of each of his four albums: “Get Lifted” (“Let’s Get Lifted,” “Used To Love U,” “Stay With You,” “So High,” “Ordinary People”), “Once Again” (“Maxine,” “Again,” “Where Did My Baby Go,” “Save Room”), “Evolver” (“Green Light,” “Good Morning,” “Everybody Knows”) and “Love in the Future” (“Made to Love,” “You & I (Nobody in the World),” “Who Do We Think We Are,” “Caught Up,” “All of Me”).

When the set came to an end and Legend exited the stage, guests’ enthusiasm never dwindled. As the crowd cheered incessantly, the nine-time Grammy Award Winner fi nally walked back onto stage for his encore of “All of Me.”

With a romantic ambience, audience inclusion and a voice moving many to tears, Legend truly put on an unforgettable performance at The Hanover Theatre on Monday, June 2.

Them Travelin’ Birds land at Lucky DogJim Perry

Like two modern day counter culture dropouts, Cassandra O’Connor and Tracy Hui, collectively known as Them Travelin’ Birds, have been crossing the country on an acoustic music tour. It began earlier this year in their native Oakland, Calif. As part of the tour, the duo stops in at the Lucky Dog Music Hall in Worcester on Wednesday, June 11.

According to O’Connor, the duo’s traveling lifestyle is a bit more conservative than the old lingering image of hitting the road. “In the ’60s, people could just paint their van tie-dye and just go at it, but we try to blend in,” says O’Connor. “It’s a little different now. We have a soccer mom van.”

O’Connor says that it took her a while to get used to the close confi nes of an extended road tour and admits the weather at fi rst did not help. “We went through the South of the United States hoping for an eternal summer, but it was pretty cold everywhere we went,” she says. “Overall, though, it’s been really nice.”

Them Travelin’ Birds have been averaging four to fi ve gigs a week, plus they do the street musician routine to make money for the basics. “Wherever we fi nd ourselves,” O’Connor says, “we’ll just go out to the street and play before dinner, and make

enough to eat.”When the duo started in California,

according to O’Connor, they had “about a half an hour’s worth of material,” which restricted them to being street musicians. After doubling the amount of music, they were able to play gigs at local venues. It grew from there, as they created a Facebook page, and became more organized. “Right now, we’re the most organized we’ve ever been,” says O’Connor.

Her partner in music and in life, Tracy Hui, refers to his current status with

O’Connor as hitting the lottery. “I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world,” he enthuses. Hui met O’Connor at an Oakland party two years ago. “We were a couple a little more than a year before we started playing together,” he says.

A multi-instrumentalist, Hui grew up around music. “My dad was a musician,” he says. “There were lots of instruments around the house.” Hui taught himself four-string banjo when he started playing with O’Connor. That is the only instrument, besides a harmonica, that he has on this tour, partly, he admits, because “all of my

stuff took up too much space.”Them Travelin’ Birds occasionally play

with other musicians, like while in Austin, Texas, and a fi ddle player from North Carolina joined in.

The duo say they have met all kinds of people from all different parts of society who have decided to escape the daily grid, and forge their own lives. “We play a lot of farmers’ markets, and everybody’s kind of going into a ‘do it yourself’ kind of thing. It’s a broad spectrum of people, too. As broad as whoever will be kind enough to

take us in.” Hui recalls a 72-year-old retired accountant in Tennessee who took them in, and, Hui says, “was super warm and open. Regardless of politics or ideology, it’s like, a lot of people are getting back to, you know, having their own chickens.”

Catch Them Travelin’ Birds on Wednesday, June 11 at The Lucky Dog Music Hall, 89 Green St., Worcester. Their set should clock in at around 45 minutes. It is part of Lucky Dog’s Woo Town Wednesdays series, and also on the bill is Little War Twins. There is no cover charge. theluckydogmusichall.com.

Gallery’s GalaAl Vuona

Worcester’s Highland Street has always been a bustling destination zone. Perhaps it’s the eclectic mix of businesses and people that make it such a popular attraction. If you have any doubts, just ask Norman Ringdahl, proprietor of the Prints and the Potter gallery and frame shop at 142 Highland St. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the acclaimed gallery and for Ringdahl, it remains a labor of love.

Recounting 40 years is not always easy but Ringdahl, who holds a BFA from Rochester Institute of Technology, remembers those humble beginnings and how a small group of local artisans played a key role.

It was 1974 and Ringdahl, along with artists Jim and Linda Winegar and Lou D’Amico, opened Chandler Street Crafts. It was a showplace for local artists and craftspeople alike.

Painting, pottery, fi ber, sculpture, photography, woodwork, picture framing and jewelry were all assembled under one roof. Live musical performances and multimedia events were often employed, as well. However, it was not long before a vibrant art culture and the success of that enterprise necessitated the need for more space.

By then, Ringdahl had become the sole owner and the next move was to Park Ave., where the name Prints and the Potter was formally launched. Once again, the works of local artists were on display and the public took notice. The pace of growth continued and as before, Ringdahl found the need for further expansion.

In 1980, a move to 142 Highland St. completed what, for Ringdahl, seemed like an endless series of relocations. Since then, the Prints and the Potter has been proud to call Highland Street home. Perseverance and hard work has made all the difference. As Ringdahl recalls, “Many times along the way I heard discouraging remarks like, ‘if you can succeed in the arts in Worcester, you can succeed anywhere.’”

Now, the focus is on the 40th anniversary

celebration of bringing fi ne art and handmade American crafts to Worcester. Ringdahl is still very much in charge – in fact, he’s now catering to second and third generation customers. Not bad when you consider that most small businesses today don’t survive for more than a few years.

So what’s on tap for this monumental year? As Ringdahl tells it, the Prints and the Potter is planning a series of shows and festivities in celebration of its 40th year in business. The fi rst show is “Colors of Spring,” featuring 12 Worcester area artists, currently on display through June 14.

June and July will feature the return of two of the original members of the Prints and the Potter, Jim and Linda Winegar, who will be exhibiting some of their new work. That, along with paintings by Norman Ringdahl and his brother, J. R. Ringdahl, has art-lovers throughout Worcester County very excited.

Early this fall will bring the main event, “Paint the Town - Four,” which will mark the actual 40th anniversary of the Prints and the Potter. The exhibition will host 15 or more area artists and is sure to be a blockbuster show.

As for the future, Ringdahl believes that his business is uniquely positioned to continue growing. He remains optimistic about the Highland Street area and Worcester in general. One thing he is hoping to expand is the company’s online presence and website. “Depending on foot traffi c alone is no longer a viable option for any retailer,” he says.

“I am proud to say that over the 40 years I’ve been in business, it has been my pleasure, and the gallery’s good fortune, to have had so many talented staff members, to have worked with so many skilled craftspeople, and to have enjoyed serving our loyal customers,” says Ringdahl. “We thank them all, and we look forward to continuing to serve them in the future”.

Brown Rice Thai Cuisine

Thai cuisine at the right priceMichael Brazell

Couched off to the side of Route 12 in West Boylston is the delightful, little Thai restaurant, Brown Rice Thai Cuisine. While the restaurant seems to do more business with take-out than dine-in, Lillian and I visited late on a Thursday night, walking in and being sat immediately in the small dining room. Divided into two main sections, the dining room has only a handful of tables but they are spaced apart so that no group will feel like they are dining on top of other guests. The restaurant has a more modern ambiance than

other Thai or Southeast Asian restaurants with a mix of black and white and pops of color decorating several walls, though a soothing melodrama of Asian synth easy listening music brings the mood down a notch.

Lillian and I were greeted quickly and brought a couple of cans of Diet Coke, quick to put in orders for an appetizer, settling on the pork dumplings ($6) after debating between those and soft Thai spring rolls ($6). About six quarter-sized fried dumplings were delivered piping hot, served beside a small dish of a light soy dipping sauce. These small balls of spiced pork were wrapped in a thick pastry shell, almost taking the consistency of jiaozi (Peking Ravioli), while the surprisingly syrupy soy sauce accentuated the fl avor.

Lillian and I made quick work of the dumplings and moved onto our entrees. Lillian decided on the Fiery Chicken Pad Thai ($10), a spicy take on this traditional Thai dish. A large dish came out with pad thai – a common stir-fried rice noodle dish – piled high and packed with perfectly-cooked scallions and bean sprouts, while the stir-fried chicken absorbed the fl avor of a

mild peanut sauce, accentuated by a sinus-clearing spiciness.

I opted for the red curry dish with pork ($13). What arrived was a freshly-steamed tower of sticky white rice, and a deep rowboat-shaped saucer of curry and fresh vegetables. Teeth-squeaking bamboo shoots, fl at-cut snapping carrots, crescent shaped green peppers and broccoli was absorbed by this delicious and thick Thai red curry sauce. Flavors of coriander and cumin balanced well against the coconut milk base, with just the right amount of red pepper spiciness to add a few beads of sweat to every bite. The fl uffy

and sticky rice simultaneously acted as both sponge and mortar to the meal, bringing together the vegetables and the chewy pork with each forkful.

Prices are beyond reasonable for Brown Rice Thai, as most items on the menu range around the $10 mark for dinner, with lunch prices being a few dollars less. Moreover, unlike many other Thai restaurants in the area, rice is included with dinner entrees that would be accompanied by a bowl of rice, like the curry. Notably, the restaurant also lacks a liquor license and encourages diners to bring-your-

own, which helps keep prices low and also allows more discerning hop heads and oenophiles to bring their favorite bottles from home rather than suffer the limited selection of beer and wine that one fi nds at many other Thai restaurants around Worcester. The combination of good prices, speedy service, virtually non-existent wait times, and BYOB practically begs Worcester-area diners looking for great Thai dishes to consider dining out at Brown Rice Thai Cuisine rather than ordering in.

Pancakes for DinnerWorcester’s scallion pancakes

Elle Durkin

One thing I like about Cheoy Lee’s in Holden is that there is really no debate about whether you are meant to sit and eat or take your food to go — this is clearly a takeout place. As such, not a lot of fuss has gone into the interior, which is primarily a large counter separating a waiting space from the kitchen. Instead, the fuss can go into the food.

My scallion pancakes were certainly plentiful, with 11 pie pieces that forced my takeout container to bulge with promise. At only $3.95 these defi nitely stretched my dollar, which I appreciated; essentially this one starter item could easily have fi lled me on its own. Glancing at Cheoy Lee’s menu revealed that this was not a one-item value, rather you can make your money go a long way with the majority of the menu.

While tasty for sure, the scallion pancakes were without a doubt more decadent than my preference. Heavy with oil and sweetness, again I found myself questioning if I should really be eating this prior to my meal. Upon completion of each piece I had to then wait a couple minutes before eating another, so fi lling each one was.

At the same time, however, the scallion pancakes were addictive, and even as I was waiting between slices, I was eager, nearly ravenous, for more. Doughy and sweet, these slices had carved out a desire in me once introduced, and though I didn’t feel like I should keep eating, I fi nished the whole serving. For many, this might fulfi ll the qualifi cations for satisfaction, but not so for me. For even though I was titillated by my tryst with these pancakes, I felt regret afterwards thinking of the taste of oil seeping through my bites and the thick sweetness that disguised the fresh taste of scallion.

Not too crispy, these pancakes had a bit of a crunch at the beginning of each bite that gave way to the plump chewiness of the dough. These were a little tough to tear, but not so much that it made them unpleasant to eat, and the dough, though made thin with oil, still allowed for a gentle sinking in of the teeth. The taste of scallion was present but very elusive, and quickly forgotten. The s auce was much too sweet, a teriyaki sauce with extra sweetening. There was, however, a lingering spiciness about it reminiscent of the remnants of wasabi in a dish of soy sauce, which I found unique and enjoyable. But the extreme sweetness of the sauce kept me from really exploring that.

Overall, these scallion pancakes were good but I felt like they won me over cheaply through frying and excessive sweetness. The slices were satisfying to consume, but the satisfaction was short-lived and felt inauthentic.

Wine on LineAl Vuona

T echnology has enabled us to do things that just a few years ago seemed impossible. That goes for wine as well. For years now, wine publications have kept wine afi cionados informed and up to date and they still do. However, much of that

information is now available online, as well. Case in point, back in 1977 my friend Richard Elia founded the Quarterly Review

of Wine in Winchester, Mass. As publisher, he wanted a no-nonsense straightforward publication that featured wines, wineries and the people who ran them. For over three decades it was one of the most respected wine magazines in the nation. However, with the

ever-growing popularity of the web, the print magazine was retired and a focus was put on its online presence.

I’m sure that was a tough choice for Richard. After all, writing and teaching have been lifelong passions of his. But alas we can take comfort in the fact that even the web requires content that is thought-provoking and interesting. So, I think in spite of it all, Richard is still keeping his readers tuned in. Just go to

QRW.com and see for yourself.Today you can fi nd almost anything you want to know about wine online.

In fact, you can even buy wine online, where’s it’s legal, of course. As a traditionalist, the idea of losing the hardcopy edition of anything – be it books, bank statement or a wine magazine – is a hard pill for me to swallow.

Many wineries around the globe have an online presence. Just enter a specifi c wine or winery and information is available in no time at all.

I think it’s fair to say this has given rise to a new generation of wine lovers who have embraced technology and found it to be a great source of information and learning. So if what you’re looking for can’t be found in print, then log on and learn all about wine online.

>Tuesday 10 “On the Trail of the ‘Heathen School:’ Local History, American History, and World History” By John Demos. This lecture will be based on Demos’s newly published book unraveling the forgotten story of a special school for “heathen youth” brought to New England in the early 19th century from all corners of the earth. Located in the little town of Cornwall, Connecticut, this uniquely fashioned institution embodied an early

version of what we now call American exceptionalism. Convert them, educate them, civilize them, then send them back to found similar projects in their respective homelands, and the world will be saved in the shortest time imaginable: thus the goal of the eminent Protestant ministers in charge. After a seemingly brilliant beginning, however, the plans ran afoul of racism - when some of the heathen students courted local women. The result was scandal, widespread controversy, and permanent closure of the school. In the aftermath two of the graduates, both Cherokees, returned to their Nation to lead the process of removal - and paid for it with their lives. Demos will also refl ect on the process of his research, including his time as a distinguished scholar at the Antiquarian Society and his visits to places central to the story. Copies of the book, entitled The Heathen School: A Story of Hope and Betrayal in the Age of the Early Republic (Knopf), signed by the author, will be available for purchase after the lecture. Free. 7-9 p.m. American Antiquarian Society, 185 Salisbury St. 508-755-5221 or americanantiquarian.org.

She maintains the popular website, HenCam.com where she blogs daily about a life with chickens, and has live-streaming cams on her animals. This program is Free (with paid admission to Tower Hill Botanical Gardens.) Books will be available for purchase at the event. Included with Admission.

CLASS IT UP!CLASS IT UP!Living the Class ifi eds’ Lifes tyle!Living the Class ifi eds’ Lifes tyle!

It’s the start to the warm summer weather, but I am feeling a bit nostalgic. No, not for the harsh winter weather

we just experienced, but for earlier years of life in general. I was happy and grateful to attend the graduation of a young man who I am very close to and while I was very happy for him and his accomplishment, I have been experiencing a sweet sadness too. I have known him since he was a baby and have seen him grow into a really fi ne young man. I am sure many of you have had these similar types of emotions where you are so happy for someone, but, yet, at the same time you know the dynamics are going to change and there is some sadness as well. I need to focus on the time that I have left before my friend goes to college and not be too sad, but be proud and happy. It’s not the end; it’s the beginning of a new adventure.

The summer is a new beginning too! Maybe that’s why graduations and other celebrations are held this time of year, to take our minds off of the sweet sadness and to see all the growth around us. I have fl owers this year! Each year I have said that I am going to have a garden and I do! I got one with some help. What is it that you’ve wanted to accomplish this summer? Do you need assistance with it? We have so many qualifi ed service providers in this section that can help! Want to move? We have that too! Whatever your new adventure is please do look here for help if you need it! Always grateful….

You spent fi ve years playing at Hanover Insurance Park as a player with the Tornados. How does it feel to be back as Manager of the Bravehearts, and to be back in Worcester? It feels great. I played a long time professionally both in affi liated baseball and independent baseball, most of which was here in Worcester. I have closeness to Worcester and obviously that’s why I came back. I want to be a part of this. I coach in college now and this is the same thing, we got kids from all over the country. I’m really excited to get going.

How is this team and league different from the Tornados and the CanAm League? It’s different because they are college kids and they’re still learning how to play. They’re young and enthusiastic, they’ll be hustling all over the fi eld. These kids are going to represent what Worcester’s all about, it’s a blue collar city and they want to come out and see good baseball, guys hustling and giving it their all and that’s what we’ll do every night.

Being that this is the fi rst season for a brand new team, how much pressure are you feeling to bring a winning product? None. There’s no pressure. We’re going to go out and teach the game to these young kids. They come from a lot of different programs, different theories about how they play the game. The one thing that will be the same is that we’re just going to go out and play the game

hard every night. If we do that and go about our business the right way, we will be successful and we will win. There’s not really any pressure, it’s just about taking care of business.

Tell me about the team, who should we look out for? Considering I just got into town yesterday and the roaster’s been moved all over the place all year. We have a couple of really good guys; we have Slinger from Tuft’s, he’s from California, he’s a left-handed pitcher and he’s very good. DeYoung is a fi rst baser and third baser and he’s going to be a good one for us. Ramage is also going to be a very good player for us. O’Reilly in center fi eld from the University of New Haven. Those are just a couple guys. I hope I’m not missing anyone; you’re kinda putting me on the spot but that’s OK.

These players are pretty fresh from their college baseball seasons. How much time have they had to practice together? Are they ready? One day. We got into town a day or two ago, we practiced yesterday, we practiced today and now we’re strapping it up for a scrimmage. It comes very quick but these guys are ready to go.

There are 10 teams in the league; which one team may prove diffi cult and why? Ourselves. Again, I think everyone’s in the same boat. Everyone’s getting into town, it’s kinda crazy there trying to get ready to play. Everyone’s just trying to get

their feet on the ground, get comfortable playing with each other. I think a lot of managers would say the same thing, it’s just getting out there and playing, getting in the groove as quick as possible.

Bravehearts play 56 games this summer. When do the Major League scouts start attending? I think it will be pretty even the whole way through. The All Star break you’ll start to see a bit more, players will have a little time under their belt and the scouts may have seen them play a couple times. The All Star game is a good place for the scouts to see them all too. After that, it starts to get a little more frenzied. They know we got some good players, I think they’ll be out all season.

What kind of buzz are you hearing? Are people excited for baseball to return to Worcester? It’s been building up. The Creedon family and Dave Peterson have done a great job of getting it all together. Kevin Hartigan, who’s one of our coaches and also a scout for the Mets, he’s a local resident of Worcester and a member of the Fire Department, he took care of our host families, which have been great. We’re really lucky to have them. There’s been a buzz for a long time and we’re excited to get going.

Any predictions on the season? We’ll play hard every night.

Summer baseball is back at Hanover Insurance Park. A new team, a new league but with a familiar face calling the shots. Bravehearts Manager Alex Trezza is no stranger to Worcester; the former Tornado player spent fi ve years in the city, the majority of his professional career. Trezza was drafted out of college in 2001 by the Detroit Tigers and was later picked up as a free agent by the Colorado Rockies. He is currently the Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator of the Division I Sacred Heart University baseball team in Fairfi eld, Conn.
