insidestoriesWith the price of metal rising, demand high and a lack-

luster economy, a new wave of small-time scrap sellers have emerged in cities across the nation, including Worcester. Recycled metal has become a $90 billion a year industry with a growing stream of new buyers and sellers.

From the harvesting of metal from abandoned homes, theft of manhole covers and copper tubing from buildings and even the desecration of gravesites – the escalating value of recycled metals has affl icted the city in so many ways, both good and bad.

Take a look at contributor Barbara Taormina’s investigation into the scrap storm that has swept the city, and peek inside this underground stream of revenue many of you may be completely unaware of.

Take it to the HouseReform group brings complaints directly to Mr. Speaker

July 5, 2012 ■ Volume 37, Number 44

Jeremy Shulkin

Frustrated by the stalling of a signifi cant bill that would reform the way the state’s Department of

Children and Families’ Child in Need of Services (CHINS) program functions, a bus load of members from local advocacy group Ex-Prisoners and Prisoners Organizing for Community Advancement (EPOCA) traveled to the statehouse on Wednesday with the goal of engaging with Speaker of the House Robert DeLeo (D-Winthrop) to encourage him to advance the bill out of the House’s Ways and Means subcommittee, where it has sat for almost a year.

For two-and-a-half hours, six members of group sat inside his offi ce refusing to speak to aides while other members gave speeches and passed out fl yers around the building.

Time is running out for the group: with the legislative session ending this month, if no action is taken EPOCA and CHINS reform allies like the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children would have to start their work all

over again next year.“There needed to be more tension

around this issue,” says EPOCA organizer Steve O’Neil.

Many of those who traveled to Boston have personal experience with CHINS, either as kids who were removed from their home because their parents handed them to DYS or parents who did similarly with their kids.

Mike Rose was both — he even refers to himself as the fi rst CHINS kid — as he became involved after enforcement kicked in during the 1970s.

Rose’s mom, an alcoholic who had trouble taking care of him, passed away when he was young. He went to live with his grandmother, who had her own struggles. He started acting out at home and school — “nothing too serious,” he says — and his uncle, who was a probation offi cer, suggested to his grandmother that she turn to the state.

Rose says he was then taken out of his house, shackled, put in secure treatment, put in foster care and treated like a criminal, which just sent him further down that path. He used heroin at 14 years old

and by 17 was following the pattern of “incarceration after incarceration.”

Rose said that was nothing that he or his grandmother wanted or expected from the program.

“I guess she misunderstood what [my uncle] was saying,” he laments.

That’s a common complaint of the law. O’Neil and others looking to implement a new bill, called Families and Children Engaged in Services (FACES), say CHINS takes rebellious kids and automatically puts them into the court system, placing them in front of a judge and giving them a parole offi cer.

The implied message to the child, they say, is “this is the rest of your life.” In most cases, the Department of Child and Families never discloses to parents who fi le a CHINS that they waive any consent if a judge decides to put their kid into foster care. More surprisingly, once a parent calls in the Department of Children and Families for CHINS, often there’s no pulling out.

O’Neil says removal of the child from the home is the result of 60 percent of

CHINS cases, which is about 6,000 youth per year.

“We really can’t wait until another legislative session next year,” O’Neil says, pointing to that fi gure.

The FACES legislation, proposed by Rep. Paul Donato (D-Medford) and Sen. Karen Spilka (D-Ashland) would eliminate many of these concerns. For one, kids entered into FACES proceedings can never be shackled, handcuffed or placed in a court or police station’s lockup. The legislation would also refer youth to community-service groups like You Inc. for assistance before enrollment in DCF programs.

“We could try to take care of this situation before it got to court,” says Rose, who’s now an EPOCA member and FACES advocate. “I don’t want other kids to go through what I went through.”

What’s surprising about the legislative hold up is that the proposed changes have met very little resistance. The Senate version of the bill breezed through that body with a 39-0 vote in favor last year. O’Neil says all of EPOCA’s tracking shows

it to be supported in the House too, it just needs to wind its way out of Ways and Means.

“It’s a very popular bill,” O’Neil says. But, “if the Speaker doesn’t say go, it doesn’t go.”

Speaker DeLeo’s offi ce did not respond to an interview request, nor did Ways and Means chair Brian Dempsey (D-Haverhill).

DeLeo also did not come out to meet the EPOCA members sitting in his offi ce on Wednesday. Still, they hope they’ve spurred the committee to take some kind

of action to make the bill a law.If not, at least they can say they did all

they could. It’s not often that one spends two-and-a-half hours calling the shots in the Speaker of the House’s chamber.

RESIDENCY NOT REQUIRED: Back during budget deliberations councilors questioned who the hire would be and City Councilor Rick Rushton asked if O’Brien would require whoever earned the position to live in the city, to which the City Manager said he’d “adhere to the ordinance.” Johnson lives in Boylston, though she’s been grandfathered into Worcester’s residency requirement because she’s already held a management position. So with the grandfathering and all, O’Brien did “adhere to the ordinance,” though maybe on a technicality.

YOUNG LOVE: Speaking of unconfi rmed rumors, a female

employee at the District Attorney’s offi ce is rumored to be skipping town with Jose Canseco (who recently celebrated his 48th birthday) and landing a reality television show back in Los Angeles. While District Attorney spokesman Tim Connolly says the offi ce doesn’t comment on personal matters, other sources have verifi ed, at least, that a young employee on track to an assistant district attorney position will be leaving her post (though she’s still on the books currently) because of a budding relationship with Canseco. Communications/crisis management fi rm The Fallston Group, which has been representing Canseco, (slogan: “are you prepared if you become the headline?”) did not return a phone call before press on Tuesday, but said last week that Canseco was still with the Tornadoes on the disabled list. On Friday the Tornadoes said they hadn’t heard this rumor.

OCCUPY THE COURTHOUSE: Worcester District Court Judge Robert Gardner heard pleas to dismiss charges from fi ve members of Occupy Worcester who were arrested in November’s taking of the Common. Gardner refused to dismiss the charges against the four members with one count of trespassing against them, quoting a court case that said “What a huge debt this nation owes to its troublemakers. From Thomas Paine to Martin Luther King, Jr., they have forced us to focus on problems we would prefer to downplay or ignore. Yet it is often only with hindsight that we can distinguish those troublemakers who brought us to our senses from those who were simply...troublemakers.” But that burst of empathy was quickly tempered with “The rights of speech and assembly, while fundamental in our democratic society, still do not mean that everyone with opinions or beliefs to express may address a group at any public place and at any time.” Gardner dismissed the disorderly person charge against one member because, as the judge wrote, it did “not appear that he was given fair warning as to what he was doing was illegal before being placed under arrest.” The remaining cases are continued for later this month.

POLL WATCHING: Public Policy Polling put out an unsolicited and independent poll to track responses to this November’s ballot questions, the future of the Massachusetts governor race and gay marriage. While the numbers for the governor race will change between now and 2014 PPP has found signifi cant support behind proposals that would legalize medical marijuana (57 percent) and assisted suicide (45 percent in favor versus 36 percent opposed) in Massachusetts. Both of those are trending up a few percentage points since those same questions were asked at the end of March. PPP also declared the senate race between incumbent Republican Scott Brown and his Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren a tie, with good news and bad news for both. Helping Brown is a widening gap with support from independents, but Warren also has room to grow as the race’s undecided voters have indicated they are supporting Barack Obama by over 50 points.

CITY HALL PROMOTIONS: According to sources, the rumors about the city’s Human Resources Director Kathy Johnson’s promotion to assistant city manager of operations are true, with City Manager Michael O’Brien gradually rolling her in with a stint as acting city manager later this month. During budget deliberations O’Brien said an assistant city manager position is necessary – and one he hasn’t had since Julie Jacobson left in early 2011 for the town manager job in Auburn – because it will free him from day-to-day work and allow him to focus on bigger picture opportunities. Johnson scored high marks from the administration last year with the handling of the health care aspects of municipal unions during contract negotiations. While the City Manager’s offi ce said there’s no announcement yet (and didn’t confi rm Johnson’s title change) they did say that the new assistant manager position will be signifi cantly different than the job description that Jacobson had.

Mercy, mercy meYou and I are from the same generation Janice. Yes, the world is different than from what it was back when we grew up. But it has always been that way. It is just that the changes occur more rapidly. Change has been scary and sometimes been disheartening for every generation. I try to believe, generally successfully, that the present is not necessarily better or worse than the past. There is just more of everything. More people (good & bad), more news shared (generally limited to much to bad) and more change due to technology. There has always been a great deal of evil and there will be until the second coming. There has always be love and compassion and if we have faith, that will never end.

NEED $ FOR HEROIN AND BOOZE

PLEASE HELP — GOD BLESSGary Rosen

Now if most Worcester panhandlers were truthful, the above would be the message scrawled on their hand-lettered cardboard

signs. But they are astute enough to know not to print a plea that even the most ultraliberal Worcester drivers would ignore.

Instead, deceitful panhandlers use homelessness and hunger to take advantage of so many generous but clueless motorists. It appears, however, that people in the community are just tired of panhandlers, 75 percent of whom use the money to support destructive habits, including alcohol and drug addiction.

The courts have ruled that panhandling, like fl ag-burning and claiming to have won the Medal of Honor, is protected free speech. For panhandlers, this free speech is quite profi table because a steady stream of enablers hand dollar bills out their car windows.

While the city continues to struggle to attract more middle- and upper-income families, retail businesses and young college students, efforts are hampered by the proliferation of panhandlers soliciting on our street corners. Allowing this to continue promotes the perception that Worcester is an unsafe and unappealing city.

Just a few years ago, six shortsighted city councilors passed a terrible ordinance that drove hot-dog vendors away from downtown. A panhandling ban that will pass constitutional muster might be next. But ordinances are unnecessary. The quickest way to stop panhandlers is to quit giving them money.

That’s not mean and thoughtless. Worcester already has an abundance of fi ne agencies that provide the needy with food, clothing, shelter and medical care. But they don’t provide their clients with alcohol or illicit drugs and neither should do-gooders behind the steering wheel.

Back in the 1990s, areas of New York City were plagued by squeegee men. These aggressive and intimidating panhandlers approached cars stopped at traffi c lights, washed their windshields while drivers protested, and then demanded money from the driver. Is this type of menacing panhandling, bordering on extortion, going to be the next chapter to unfold at Worcester’s intersections?

Or will we soon see panhandlers in search of bigger rewards waiting near ATM machines after we make cash withdrawals? The time to end this blight on our once great city is now.

Thankfully our elected offi cials are expected to take creative and legal steps to remove panhandlers from city streets. I suggest that they show some political courage by also putting an end to the many tag days at busy intersections. It’s outrageous that, to win the votes of soccer moms and sports-league volunteers, city councilors allow bucket-toting youth to weave in and out of traffi c to collect money for new uniforms, equipment and travel expenses. Before someone is killed, let’s bring back and support bake sales, car washes, raffl es, magazine sales and soda-can drives, among others.

To eliminate panhandling and tag-day fundraising, Worcester needs to launch a public-awareness campaign with a slogan

such as, “Giving is good, but NOT on city streets.” Emphasize this message everywhere. Print it on the sides of WRTA buses and on free bumper stickers to reach the people we need to educate: Worcester drivers.

Then establish an alternative to giving money directly to panhandlers. Place colorful collection boxes in strategic locations around the city so that compassionate and generous Worcester residents and visitors can experience guilt-free giving. That way we’ll know that our donations will go to social-service agencies that provide fundamental resources to people in need.

So if you are a driver who provides panhandlers with money to continue their destructive behavior, please stop doing that immediately. Once their source of money dries up, hopefully more of our panhandlers will dry out.

Paul S. Ropp

Despite our on-going wars and the prevalence of violence in our media today, several important new books carry a message of good news, that violence is not a constant of

human nature but has in fact declined dramatically in modern times.

The most ambitious of these books is Steven Pinker’s The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined. Using history, psychology, evolutionary biology, and cognitive sciences, Pinker argues that violence of all kinds, from family feuds to genocide, have been declining steadily over several thousand years. Many forms of violence that were seen as normal for millennia (including slavery, torture, wife-beating, corporal punishment of children, dueling, and capital punishment for one’s beliefs) are now socially proscribed in most countries, and we currently live in the most peaceful time in human existence.

Pinker’s claims seem counter-intuitive. We highlight violence in our movies, video games and local newscasts, because it is both abnormal and exciting. In response to those who cite World Wars I and II as the most destructive wars in history, Pinker argues that violence declines over time in a downward sloping saw-toothed graph, and the world wars were abnormal spikes which did not reverse the downward sloping incidence of violence.

As a psychologist well read in evolutionary biology and human history, Pinker argues that humans have both aggressive and cooperative tendencies, and he demonstrates how human behavior has changed substantially over the past fi ve millennia. Appropriating a memorable phrase from Abraham Lincoln, Pinker cites in particular four “better angels of our nature”: our capacity for empathy, our ability to develop and exercise self control, our moral sense, and our capacity for reason. Each of these human traits is generally more developed today than a century ago, or even half a century ago.

Three other recent books complement Pinker’s arguments. The anthropologist Douglas P. Fry, in Beyond War: The Human Potential for Peace and the science writer John Horgan, in The End of War draw on cultural anthropology, archaeology and human paleontology to debunk theories of the “natural aggressiveness of human beings.” Fry and Horgan fi nd ample grounds for hope in the fact that most humans live peaceful lives based on cooperation with others. They argue persuasively that both violence and nonviolence are learned responses, not

determined by our genes. And they demonstrate that we have made important strides forward in learning to curb aggression and fi nd peaceful ways to realize social justice and security.

Finally, Joshua S. Goldstein, in Winning the War on War: The Decline of Armed Confl ict Worldwide complements these authors in documenting that the radical decline in violence between states after 1945, and the intensifi cation of that trend since 1989. By Goldstein’s calculations, 2010 marked the lowest level of armed violence of any year ever in recorded history.

These four authors together suggest that a paradigm shift is occurring in the world today, and they urge us to reinforce these trends. In our homes and schools, we can nourish the “better angels” of empathy, reason, moral values and self-control. We can support the United Nations in its efforts to prevent and stop civil wars. We can form multinational coalitions to protect civilians in all confl ict areas, and we can shift more of our own resources from weapons of mass destruction to more effective ways of motivating people to live in peace.

Here in Worcester, we at the Center for Nonviolent Solutions are working in several Main South schools to apply the lessons of these books. At University Park Campus School, Sullivan Middle School and Claremont Academy, we have taught skills of anger management, confl ict mediation and bullying prevention. We study domestic violence and take students on fi eld trips to Abby’s House, where they learn the signs of abusive relationships and the resources that exist to help people in dangerous situations. We do simulations to demonstrate the importance of open communication and mutual respect in resolving confl icts.

We also teach the history of nonviolent movements in the modern world including the Gandhian movement in India, the Civil Rights movement in the United States, the peaceful end of apartheid in South Africa and the end of the Catholic-Protestant civil wars in Northern Ireland. And in August, we will be training students to be peer mediators, to learn the techniques of resolving confl icts through open communication, mutual respect and the honest exploration of differences.

We have had very positive responses to all these efforts from teachers, students and administrators. This is good news indeed, and it augurs well for the future.

Paul S. Ropp is research professor of history at Clark University and board president of the Center for Nonviolent Solutions in Worcester.

Scrap stormTHE HUNTING, COLLECTING AND STEALING OF SCRAP METAL IN WORCESTER

Barbara Taormina

Scavenging for metal is nothing new. Scrap metal has been around since human beings discovered it was more effective to hurl a spear with a bronze tip instead of rock, and people have been hunting, collecting and stealing scrap from the start. Most metal can be used, melted and reused without losing any of its strength or qualities.

But what is new is the combination of a strong demand for recycled metal, record-high prices and a lousy economy up against a backdrop of decreasing resources and a growing awareness of recycling and sustainability. It’s a perfect scrap storm that’s helped make recycled metal a $90 billion a year industry with a growing stream of new buyers and sellers. But it’s also spawned a new generation of apocalyptic-style scrap-metal thieves who are robbing homes, churches and cemeteries and dismantling infrastructure.

In addition to the enormous cost, the property damage and the public-safety risks, scrap-metal theft has overshadowed much of the good that comes from the

scrap-metal industry, one of the green economy’s biggest success stories. Scrap metal businesses were recycling and conserving resources long before it occurred to the rest of us that those might be good ideas.

The industry has made signifi cant contributions to the economy and the environment, but that part of the story is often lost because of scrap-metal theft.

THE METAL MARKET Joe DeAngelis has been repairing railroad lines for about 40 years, but the call he got last year from Taunton wasn’t for just any ordinary job.

A CSX locomotive pulling a load of freight to a warehouse derailed when it reached a point in the route where metal thieves had cut away two eight-foot sections of steel rail.

Neither of the two men onboard was injured, but DeAngelis, who owns DeAngelis Railroad Contractors on Millbury Street, said it could have been a disaster. The derailed engine could have tipped or taken down telephone poles and power line.

“I never saw anything like that,” he recalls. “It’s sad, and the really sad thing is I’m sure it will happen again.”

So far, Worcester’s own railroad tracks have been spared by scrap metal thieves who have been picking other parts of the city clean.

Last month, thieves made off with two aluminum benches from Beaver Brook Park, a small haul compared to 40 sections of aluminum bleachers that disappeared from the Spencer Fairground in April. The grandstand was recovered after a scrap metal dealer called police to report two men were at his shop trying to sell the seats.

So many manhole covers have been stolen throughout Massachusetts that some towns have been warning drivers and joggers to watch out for the uncovered holes. Worcester police say the city has lost its own share of the heavy iron disks from thefts at the city storage yard.

And sometimes, it’s not just the manhole covers. A couple of years back, while the city was repairing Prescott

Street, several cast-iron manhole structures went missing. Thanks to a local businessman who called in a tip, police arrived in time to arrest two brothers as they were about to load one of the massive iron cylinders into their pick-up.

Last month, Worcester police were also able get back 22 sewer and drain grates when a scrap dealer atFrankenstein’s Recycling called to report that two men—one from Webster, the other from Dudley—were at the shoptrying to make a deal.

Although scrap metal seems like a complicated business with a slew of different factors always in play, most scrap dealers say the basic rules are simple.

“It’s all about supply and demand,” explains Neil Smith of Goldstein’s Scrap Metal, one of Worcester’s oldest scrap businesses, started back in 1935 by Smith’s grandfather, Louis Goldstein.

Demand has been driven, in large part by China, which has a huge appetite for resources for its booming manufacturing economy. In 2010, the United States exported $30 billion worth of commodity-grade scrap metal to more than 150 countries, but China was fi rst in line.

As for supply, some industry watchers have suggested the uncertain economy has tightened some of the regular channels of scrap. Rather than buying new, big-ticket items, consumers are hanging onto their cars, refrigerators and air conditioners, and that slows down the scrap stream.

But Smith also sees another part of that equation. He feels the lack-luster economy has created a new wave of small-time scrap sellers, who are trying all types of ways to make ends meet.

“What I see today is a lot more women coming in,” he says. “They’ll bring in 10 pounds of pots and pans, copper tubing and anything brass. You see a lot of aluminum window, aluminum siding or lawn furniture sets.”

Although 10 pounds of assorted scrap metal isn’t a big payday, Smith says it beats the alternative.

“I’m going to pay you something, maybe not a lot, but something,” he says. “And you don’t have to pay a rubbish collector to dispose of it. It’s really a win-win.”

The something Smith pays is based on the metal market, and prices move up and down continually throughout the day like the stock market. Scrap metal sells for less than newly mined metal, and scrap dealers pay less than the market price in order to cover the processing and shipping costs to the mills in New York, Pennsylvania and the Midwest as well as their slice of the profi t.

Scrap sellers often fi nd that scrap dealers pay different amounts for the same things. Those differences are due to how each dealer interprets the different factors that can affect supply, demand and profi t.

“I like the idea of buying and selling and anticipating what’s happening in the market,” said Smith who has a balanced win-some, lose-some approach toward scrap.

Buying and selling can be more of a nail biter at Lincoln Stamp and Coin, where owner Bob Lincoln buys silver and gold.

“All we try to do is be fair, and it’s easy to pay a fair price,” says Lincoln, whose family opened the business in Worcester in 1924. Lincoln admits he caters a little more to repeat customers who do a lot of

buying and selling, but overall he tries to pay sellers roughly 70 percent of the melt value of their precious scrap.

Buying silver and gold to melt can be a little more complicated than buying iron and aluminum. While Smith can buy a pile of steel in the morning and ship it off to a mill within a day or two, Lincoln holds all pieces for 30 days. If anything happens to be stolen, owners at least have a shot to track them down and get them back before they’re gone for good.

The 30-day window provides some protection to the public but it throws a small wrench into the gold and silver scrap business. Lincoln might buy some silver when the market value is $32 an ounce only to watch the price slip to $26 while he waits to legally sell it.

“That’s a risk that everybody takes,” he says. “Fortunately, I’m not trying to get rich on our every purchase.”

CRAZY FOR COPPER The rise in gold and silver prices has been dramatic with gold topping $1,900 an ounce last year. But the price that seems to have the biggest effect on metal, and the people who love it, is the price of copper, which went from 60 cents a poundin 1990 to about $4.20 in 2006.

Michael Rivard, who owns Starr Scrap Metal, another scrap business with deep roots in Worcester, says that’s when things changed. Prior to 2007, people stole and scrapped copper wire and tubing, but it was kind of a small, select group. In 2007, the fl oodgates opened and copper theft took off.

“The escalating value of copper

drove the problem, and made it more mainstream,” says Rivard, who adds that the media coverage of the problem was like a primer for those just jumping into scrap-metal theft.

“The problem is that everyone thinks it’s a minor crime,” he says. “The truth is it causes tens of thousands of dollars in damage.”

And possibly more. According to the U.S. Dept. of Energy, a conservative estimate of the damages and losses due to copper theft would be about $900 million. Utility companies say the general rule of thumb for them is that every $100 of stolen scrap copper means $5,000 in repairs. And the National Insurance Crime Bureau reports that, from 2009 through 2011, there were 25,085 claims for metal theft with about 96 percent of them involving copper. Ohio led that survey with 2,398 claims. Massachusetts had 667 insurance cases involving metal thefts.

Worcester and the surrounding cities and towns have seen plenty of cases of copper thefts, National Grid being a common target. A Warren man was nearly electrocuted while trying to steal copper wire from a Worcester substation. A few

years ago, National Grid lost 2,000 pounds of copper wire from a Hopedale facility, after thieves cut through a fence and loaded up their truck.

Construction sites have also been frequent victims of copper theft. But one of biggest problems has been the theft of copper pipes and wire from vacant houses and buildings around the city. And the growing number of foreclosures over the past several years has added to the problem.

A Princeton Street break-in last month was a typical Worcester copper theft story. Police responded to a call reporting a man who appeared to be involved in something suspicious. They arrived at the address and found an open cellar door that led to a basement where water was gushing out of freshly cut copper pipes. A short time later, they tracked down a damp suspect pushing a shopping cart loaded with copper plumbing fi xtures.

Although vacant homes are hit most often, some thieves have started to steal copper wherever they fi nd it. Over the winter, one Worcester homeowner woke up around 2 a.m. to some strange noise in the basement. After calling police, she

realized the water in her house had been turned off. Police arrived and arrested the thief who had at least shut off the main water line before cutting down the plumbing system. The damage was repaired the next day but the homeowner was out the deductible for the insurance claim.

Worcester’s District 3 Councilor George Russell, who is also a longtime local real estate broker, says realty companies have been battling the problem of copper and metal theft from vacant properties for years.

“One broker, who has since passed away, was noted for putting grease on all the copper pipes in houses,” tells Russell. “Another woman used to paint the pipes pink.”

Russell said banks and mortgage companies that own vacant properties are required to put up a $5,000 bond to cover problems like break-ins and vandalism. But houses that have been gutted by copper thieves can cost a lot more to repair, especially if they’ve been fl ooded.

According to Russell, another problem has been the maps and lists of properties in foreclosure that are available online.

“It’s like putting a sign out in front that says, “Rob me,” he says.

SCRAP COPS Worcester’s vacant mill buildings and businesses have also been vulnerable

to scrap metal theft. DeAngelis said he was hit recently when thieves came over the side of his yard for a metal construction frame.

“I went around to the scrap yards to see if anyone had seen anything,” he says. “I fi gured being a local person, I would just check around.”

DeAngelis said Worcester’s big scrap-metal yards are careful, “almost anal,” about the scrap they buy.

“I think there’s a lot of small scrap yards, mom-and-pop businesses, that are a problem,” he suggests.

Much of the responsibility of tracking down scrap-metal thieves has been placed on the shoulders of the scrap dealers. Most of Worcester’s scrap-yard owners work with police, and they call the station to check when they suspect they’ve come across something that’s been stolen.

“Everyone should have business ethics,” Rivard says. “Sometimes it’s beyond obvious that things are stolen.”

Worcester has been out in front with laws to prevent scrap-metal theft. Lawmakers on Beacon Hill have been crafting a set of state regulations for the scrap-metal industry that mirror’s Worcester’s city ordinance. Scrap dealers are required to keep detailed records of all transactions, including a copy of the seller’s driver’s license, or some form of photo ID, and a license-plate number.

little profi ling,” says Lincoln, who adds that sometimes, there are red fl ags.

“It’s one thing if a 70-year-old woman brings in a set of sterling silver fl atware,” he points out. And it’s kind of another thing when a 20-year-old guy covered with tattoos shows up to sell his antique sterling silver tea set.

The Institute of Scrap Metal Recycling has created a website, Scraptheftalert.com, which keeps an ongoing national log of scrap thefts from the last 30 days. Two recent Worcester thefts are listed on the site: a large, steel planter valued at $1,500 taken from a local yard on June 25, and a 10-inch by 8-inch peace plaque pried off a rock at the entrance of a small park at the corner of Winslow and Pleasant streets sometime early in June.

At Starr Scrap Metal, Rivard has installed plenty of cameras that record transactions. He points them out to sellers if he thinks there’s anything suspicious about the scrap. And when he photocopies a driver’s license, he reminds each person of how police will be in touch if their scrap matches any theft reports.

It might seem unwelcoming, but Rivard has had it with scrap-metal theft. He recently helped police with one of Worcester’s uglier scrap-theft cases.

Last October, Grafton resident Alan Long stopped at Starr Scrap Metal to sell some antique brass grave markers taken from veterans’ graves in local cemeteries. Rivard paid about $150 for 42 of them, and then he called police.

“I reported it, and I paid him well to keep him coming back,” says Rivard.

And it worked. Long returned to sell more of the grave markers to Starr and also tried to sell some at Goldstein’s, where Smith refused to buy them before also calling police. Schnitzer’s Metals Recycling also bought several dozen of the markers and also reported the sale.

Police arrested Long on Oct. 11 and charged him with receiving stolen property over the value of $250 and crimes against morality and decency.

Rivard was able to return 118 of the markers which were restored and returned to graves at Hope, Notre Dame and All Faiths cemeteries.

“That’s how far this has come,” he says. “Now, it’s about desecrating graves.”

Churches have also been hit. Last April, around 2 a.m., police checked out a report of two men trying to pry the cross off the roof of the American Church of our Savior. The cross was too much work, so they settled for some copper spikes, which were enough for police to arrest them.

Many law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Dept. of Justice, have linked scrap-metal theft to drug addiction and the need for quick cash, and Rivard says that’s a big part of the story.

But many scrap-metal thieves often have jobs, trucks, tools and some skills. And as Rivard points out, the majority of them are white, between the ages of 25 and 40, and many live in small towns.

“What I see are a lot of guys with

no sense of decency and a big sense of entitlement,” he opines.

THE CYCLE OF SCRAPThe scrap-metal industry pays close attention to where metal comes from, not just in cases of theft but also in areas that refl ect economic trends that will ultimately mean new streams of scrap.

“We’ve seen brass pipes replaced by copper pipes, and aluminum siding replaced by vinyl,” says Smith.

And new technology often leads to scrap.

“I’ve taken in a lot of machinery that’s worth so much more than the scrap value. It’s heartbreaking,” he says.

But William Sullivan, who owns Sullivan Metals that runs a retail metal business in Worcester and a scrap yard in Holyoke, says scrap plays an important part in the natural progression of technology and manufacturing.

“I love what we do,” says Sullivan “We recycle resources that otherwise might end up in a landfi ll.”

Like others in the metal and scrap-metal industries, Sullivan stresses that recycling metal uses less energy and produces less waste than mining. And metal that’s melted and recycled is not only cheaper to produce, in most cases it retains its original strength and properties.

Recycled metals are used to produce everything from eye-glasses and bicycles to ships, heavy machinery, cars, medical equipment and rockets.

“I think what we do really adds to the quality of life in the world,” he says. “And I think people are fascinated by it.”

Some Worcester businesses have been able to turn scrapped machines and metal into businesses that cater to niche markets. At KM Lifestyles, Mike Lavallee recycles scrap to produce custom-made parts for vintage cars and radios.

“We are the premier source of some of the most elusive auto parts,” said Lavalle. “We can take a generator or a starter and restore the whole piece back to new.”

Lavallee’s shop repairs and restores antique machinery for collectors and museum curators with recovered and restored metals.

“And we don’t have to worry about

mining, all the metal we need is already there,” he says.

Anthony Brooks at Brooks Brothers Auto also helps keep vintage cars on the road through recycling pieces and parts that people sell as scrap.

Brooks says that it’s not always simple to reinvent and reuse. “You get a real feeling for Murphy’s Law, and if something can go wrong it will, but it usually works out,” he said.

Those are some of the aspects of scrap metal that scrap dealers, are trying to highlight. For years, they’ve bristled at the term junk yard and now, the industry is trying to explain the value of the services and products it provides.

Rivard says, even with all the problems, scrap metal scavenging has helped clean up Worcester. There isn’t an ounce of rusting dirty metal left in any of the city’s vacant lots. It’s all been collected and sold to the scrap yards.

As the scrap metal industry looks ahead, the question of recycled metal exports may be the next issue to tackle.

Scrap metal is often called above-ground mining, and some are starting to question if it’s in the country’s best interest to sell so much U.S. metal to China and other countries with emerging economies. Some countries no longer allow scrap industries to export their products. It’s just too valuable a resource.

But for the past decade, the prices that China and other countries have been willing to pay for U.S. scrap have helped bolster the scrap-metal industry and the American economy at a time when they needed bolstering.

Still, some scrap dealers see an end to the current boom cycle, which made lead to the United States conserving and reusing more of its own scrap metal. Rivard says that may ultimately be the best thing.

“We need to look at how much of our scrap we’re letting go of,” he asserts. “Even with those prices, I think we’re starting to hurt ourselves.”

Start Your Engines!Start Your Engines!The Summer Nationals come cruisin’ back to Worcester

Meaghan Hardy-Lavoie

It is that time of year again: time for the striking aroma of burnt rubber mixed with fried dough. It’s time for the weekend where clamorous rock ’n’ roll is heard but sometimes lost in the echo of hundreds of revving engines, which can be heard from Main Street to Green Hill Park. The New England Summer Nationals are back July 5 through July 8 and promise to bring the largest vintage car show to Worcester for its 22nd year.

“The New England Summer Nationals is the largest annual signature event held within the city of Worcester,” notes Donna McCabe, president of the Central Massachusetts Convention and Visitors Bureau. “This event offers continuous excitement and entertainment from morning to night for residents, tourists and motor heads.”

What began as a modest fundraiser organized by Bob Moscoffi an for the Worcester Parks Department back in 1991 to support the Green Hill Park Petting Zoo, the event is now on the fast track to becoming the largest automobile show in the United States. In its fi rst year, Moscoffi an advertised the show all the way to the West Coast, and was blown away when on that fi rst year 1,800 cars showed up. This year’s vehicle registration is 10 percent above the 5,500 cars that were registered last year, with the show now bringing guests in from as far away as England. “Twenty-two years with the city of Worcester has been an adventure. I’ve seen the city change in many ways. I just want to continue for another 22 years.” says Moscoffi an.

Mike Cole, who is a member of the Street Freaks Auto Club, has been attending the Summer Nationals for the past 10 or 12 years. “It is a great thing to see everyone coming together to support the community with their love for the car scene,” says Cole, who has registered his

1990 Celica for this year’s show. “Great variety of cars. It is not your run of the mill type of show. There are all types of activities for all ages.”

The main attraction of the weekend are the antique and custom cars, but if you aren’t the type to stick your head under the hood of a few thousand cars, there will still be plenty to enjoy. This year, headlining the Green

Hill Park stage at 4 p.m. on Saturday afternoon is Peter Tork, best known as bassist and keyboardist of The Monkees. The bands continue to perform until 8 p.m., which is also when the rest of the food and merchandise vendors begin to shut things down, but as the sun sets on Green Hill Park the 20-by-28-foot movie screen is raised for the Green Hill Drive-In, where vintage greaser movies including “Two Lane Black Top” will be shown on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

The Main Street portion of the event includes more live music, vendors, and the annual beauty pageant. The central event each night is undoubtedly the burnouts, which take place inside the Lincoln Square tunnel, which Moscoffi an boasts as a wild party in a controlled atmosphere. “When I have a party, I want to have that party; and when every one of my guests leaves, they

leave happy and safe and that is how it has always been,” explains Moscoffi an.

As in years past, you can enjoy all of the cars, burnouts, fl ame throwers and bike stunts for $12 and children younger than 12 are free when accompanied by an adult. For more information including the full schedule of events, live entertainment and vendors, visit summernationals.com.

Man-eating plant feasts on Shrewsbury Ben Ryland

The spunky group at Centre Stage Productions is presenting its second summer musical this weekend for two public performances only in

Shrewsbury. “Little Shop of Horrors” will follow last years “Urinetown: The Musical” as something unique and special. Both are edgy, nontraditional Broadway musicals that clicked with New York audiences and critics; however here they are

performed in an even more nontraditional way.

“We are going to do the show very differently from what people have in their heads about ‘Little Shop.’ All of the actors are students from the 8th grade through seniors,” shares Centre Stage Productions

executive director Michael Lapomardo. “These kids know they will be

challenged and that we expect much from them,” explains director/designer Nathan Colby. Colby has acted or directed shows at Foothills Theatre, the Hanover Theatre’s Nutcracker, and other theaters all around Central Massachusetts. “These kids are amazing. Many have returned this year from our 2011 show, where they blew me

out of the water. And now they are 10 times better.”

“Little Shop of Horrors” is a fun show full of tuneful songs, interesting character twists and a few clever shocks along the way. Written by the late Howard Ashman (“Beauty and the Beast”) and Alan Menken (“Sister Act” and the current hit- “Newsies”) using ’50s pop and doo-wop style songs help to create the atmosphere of the show.

Seymour is a young misfi t working in a fl ower shop in skid row owned by Mr. Mushnick who took him in and works the kid day and night. Seymour’s only interests are strange plants and his sweet but dumb co-worker, Audrey. When he discovers a highly unusual plant, his life begins to change but not for the better.

The other-worldly plant (named Audrey 2 by Seymour) has an appetite for blood, which helps it grow and grow. It also has strange powers that include granting wishes….I won’t spoil the rest of the plot twists and turns. But it’s not your typical Broadway musical; there is even a Greek chorus of street urchins who musically comment on the action in the style of Diana Ross and the Supremes. The original production opened in 1982 off-Broadway and ran for more than 2,220 performances beating “Cats” as best musical of the year by the Drama Desk and NY Drama Critics Circle (off-Broadway shows are not eligible for Tony Awards). “Little Shop of Horrors” is a musical comedy with murders, aliens, nerds, fake celebrity and the human need for love. What is most surprising — it’s all played for laughs and the songs, sounding like they are from the era of the Jersey Boys, take you along for

a fun if slightly squeamish ride.To evoke the down-trodden ’50s

lifestyles of the characters, costumier Nancy Freeman has been searching all over Central Mass and into Boston for the outfi ts, looking for real vintage clothing to further emphasize the era. “We want it to look realistic to the time period.”

With a rehearsal window of only two weeks, the kids learn the music fi rst then break into specifi c scenes to learn choreography and staging. Colby says, “They must be off-book the entire second week of rehearsal. We open that weekend!”

The Centre Stage Productions open enrollment discovered 48 student actors for this summer. “We want to give these kids experiences as accessible as possible. Since last year, everything has grown including the theater camp,” according to Lapomardo, who is also the musical director of the organization and a high-school music teacher in the county.

The wonderful auditorium at the Oak Middle School in Shrewsbury with its large stage is perfect for expanding the cast size called for by a script like “Little Shop of Horrors, which only has seven principal characters.

You only have two chances to see this delightful production this weekend: Saturday, July 7, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, July 8, at 2 p.m. Take the kids and enjoy; it’s only $8 per ticket!

Street Beat salutes 12th anniversary

Taylor Nunez

Call it a poet’s haven. Since its inception 12 years ago, Street Beat has welcomed poets of all ages with promised readings from seasoned poets and open mic for the brave souls willing to take the fl oor and maybe give new material a whirl. Celebrating its 12th anniversary, founder Anne Marie Lucci will be hosting a special Street Beat 12th Anniversary Poetry Event, featuring teachers and friends, Jonathan Blake and Bill O’Connell.

Lucci, a published poet herself in journals such as The Syracuse Review and Worcester Magazine, was working as a publicist for Donna and Dave Vayo of the Highland Artist Group gallery when an opportunity took her by surprise. “Donna said, ‘I want to have a fun gallery with poetry readings.’ When she asked me to think of how to run it, I didn’t think of hosting it myself—I was going to refer her to Eve Rifkah who was already hosting the Poetry Oasis, a very successful venue,” explains Lucci.

It was the confi dence that the Vayos instilled within the poet in Lucci that encouraged her to pursue the scene beyond her usual rounds at other venues and poetry events. Street Beat’s name came naturally to Lucci as she saw a way to pay homage to her Highland Street home of over a decade. The creation that came from this befalling taught Lucci a lesson, “The message I take from running Street Beat is that opportunities to do good, to make a difference, can sometimes be right in front of your face, and you don’t know it.”

Street Beat is among dozens of poetry associations in the continuously growing arts scene in Worcester, and for years, Lucci routinely made her rounds from venue to venue. “My schedule centered fi rstly on the poetry events—the old Java Hut, the Poets Parlor, the Poetry Oasis—all of them vibrant and emerging into their own.” As Lucci felt pulled in different directions and a compulsion for full-time employment, her schedule became less

fl exible and her journeys around the city slowed.

Organizing Street Beat continues to drive Lucci, despite life’s hectic tendencies.

In fact, in 12 years, Lucci has missed only two events—one during a particularly fi erce New England snow storm, and the other, after her mother’s passing. Lucci, now in her 50s, still remains entirely dedicated to her art. “I’m exhausted from 11 years of night shifts, like to get up at the ‘crack of noon’ or later, but I slowly get going, get stronger, as the day goes on. Though I can’t make the rounds to all the other venues, I still keep at the writing; keep trying to do things fresh and new with each passing year. Each anniversary is special and valued,” explains Lucci.

For the 12th anniversary of Lucci’s program, the tradition of featured poets and an open-mic portion continues. Jonathan Blake, an English professor at Worcester State University, will be reading his own work. Though certainly not a newcomer to the poetry scene, or Street Beat as he read a few years ago, Blake expressed gratitude for being included in the mix. “Worcester has a long legacy of poetry and poets, and I am simply happy to be part of that continuum. All art is

important, and poetry is especially as one of its primary functions is to keep us attuned to our senses and our experiences of the world, something that the digital world keeps us from more and more as it evolves,” states Blake.

Friend to Blake and fellow poet, Bill O’Connell will also be reading just off the high of releasing his book “Sakonnet Point” last summer. O’Connell, a social worker in Western Mass., is also a teacher, sharing creative writing and literature with students at Greenfi eld Community College. O’Connell looks to poetry daily and fi nds that great works can transcend and reverberate underneath the droning hum of life. “Certainly, it [poetry] is most publicly felt and heard at times of great joy and sadness, marriages especially, and funerals, because it so well-expresses the arc and levels of these emotions: what it is to be human; to have knowledge of both beauty and mortality, equally; to be conscious on a daily basis. Poetry is an

expression of that consciousness.”Like Blake and O’Connell, Lucci sees

just how crucial poetry is to a community. “Poetry is a gathering of like-minded people who live life and then, unlike others sometimes, refl ect on it—family, memories—and begins the process of telling the history of a city, of a decade, or generation and it speaks so much about a person’s voice being validated,” she says.

These three artists, with the help of close friends and fellow poets, will celebrate not just Street Beat’s beginning but the contribution poetry makes to a community as well. Join them Thursday, July 12, from 7-9 p.m. at the Worcester County Poetry Association Headquarters in Vasa Hall located at the First Floor Performance Space on 1 Ekman Street in Worcester to hear the voices of others and perhaps share your own.

Comic book movies have long existed in a delicate balance between believability and spectacle. It’s the thing that sets the fi lms apart from the books. In the past, the sole mission of the comic book was to keep a small minority of dramatically undiscerning thrill-seeking consumers entertained enough to purchase the next issue; it was never necessary for an action-oriented story told mostly through powerful visuals on a page to convince anyone of its plausibility.

But now Stan Lee and Marvel has moved into a different universe entirely.

In the 1970s and 1980s it was found that comic heroes had to be relevant to the real world to hold interest, and with that came a deepening of character and a darkening of their nature. Now with the development of impressive but expensive fi lm techniques that can bring any idea to life in a strikingly realistic way, the burgeoning genre of comic book movie is defi ned as a huge money mass culture blockbuster that must, by its very nature, be convincing and engaging on every level. Because of this, the new Spiderman reboot has a high bar to clear: it must shine both as a teen adventure/comedy and an action-packed superhero romp. Surprisingly, it comes close to accomplishing both, and in doing so has set the bar even higher on both fronts, for better or worse.

With this fi lm, the story of Peter Parker (Andrew Garfi eld, from “The Social Network”), high school geek who gets bitten by a radioactive spider and develops amazing powers, has become so fl eshed out that it’s bordering on obscene. There is a lot of fl esh showing here. We start back in Parker’s childhood on the day his dad fl ees, mother in tow, apparently due to some terrible scientifi c discovery (the Hollywood-standard soundtrack wails

away melodramatically, and this will unfortunately continue throughout.) He is raised by his genial, wisecracking uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and neurotic dour aunt May (Sally Field). Garfi eld channels the subtle moodshifts of a troubled adolescent well (unlike his predecessor the egregious Tobey Maguire). His love interest Gwen (Emma Stone) is given some independent

energy and substance in the script, and her presence is a marked improvement over the vapid turn by Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane in previous versions.

Once bitten, Garfi eld does a good job wringing laughs out of his newfound strength, with antics that include: smashing the alarm clock in the morning, inadvertently trashing the bathroom, beating up an entire subway car of toughs and then apologizing, and leaping from half-court to slamdunk a basketball and smash

the backboard. If you want reality, instead of getting suspended Spidey boy would have been signing an NBA contract for millions the next day. Anyway, we all know Uncle Ben will bite it, and Parker will go off on a web-slinging binge trying to locate his killer. Once he gets out on the town in the suit, the jillion dollar special effects take center stage. Visceral vertigo drops pulled out at the last minute, stunning POV shots, well-staged fi ght sequences, and so on, combine with Garfi eld’s whooping and wiseass exuberant presence to evoke some of the same feeling you get reading the comic book.

The problem “The Amazing Spiderman” faces is that the more our arachnoid hero becomes drawn into the Sci-Fi world of supervillians, the less interesting and plausible is his nerdy High School character persona. Future fi lms, in what is obviously a new series, will have a lot of trouble reconciling this. Also, since he’s been witnessed by vast amounts of people performing super feats, it’s stretching to think that he could hide behind a secret identity. I only bring this up because the fi lm’s entire point seems to be to take on the challenge of making the whole ridiculous spectacle seem believable. Surprisingly, this franchise reboot that no one asked for nearly pulls it off.

Mac’s Diner

Local landmark worth rememberingMarc Cochon

Established in 1931, Mac’s Diner has been a landmark on Shrewsbury Street since before Shrewsbury Street was, well, Shrewsbury Street. Back in the 1980s, Mac’s innovation was to turn a diner-by-day into an evening spot for Italian-American dining based on creative combinations of pasta, sauces, protein and vegetables. That formula is now found throughout the city, so it’s easy to forget Mac’s — but it’s still making people happy with solid food and great value.

If you haven’t been to Mac’s in a while, you’ll notice a few changes.

What was once a patio is now a brightly lit indoor dining area. Some upscale lighting fi xtures here and there highlight the crazy-quilt of stucco, brick, stone and wood. But the open kitchen in the diner car hasn’t changed, even if a new generation is behind the stove. Mac’s is still a welcoming, informal spot.

One of Mac’s signature items is homemade bread, served with a bowl of garlicky oil. The white country loaf is soft and dense, perfect for absorbing sauces. There’s also some thin focaccia topped with a bit of cheese.

An appetizer of pan-seared scallops features mollusks that have been blackened aggressively but still retain their sweet, fresh fl avor. They are served simply over mixed greens with a mustard-mayonnaise dipping sauce—a nice summer starter.

Mac’s house salad is simple and perfect. Fresh mixed lettuces, tomatoes and cucumbers have been tossed in a sweet, tangy Italian dressing and topped with grated gorgonzola. The generous serving is enough for two to share, but next time I want one all to myself.

Mac’s menu is based on sautéed pasta

dishes, including a wide range of chicken, veal and seafood options. Chicken “bon femme” features nicely seared white meat combined with whole artichoke hearts, black California olives, sautéed mushrooms, and feta cheese in a very light lemon sauce. Served over tortellini, it’s satisfying without being heavy.

Another Mac’s classic is the Italian combo, which features meatballs, sausage and chicken in a cacciatore-style sauce over spaghetti. The sweet sausage is very lean and tastes of fennel; it’s probably made in the neighborhood. The meatballs are a bit bland and bready—they could use more spices and a lighter hand in mixing and forming them. The chicken, again, has been nicely seared and accompanies the red sauce well. The mix of sautéed onions, peppers and mushrooms in the sauce ties the dish together nicely.

Service at Mac’s is friendly, attentive and informal. The emphasis here is on good food at a good price. Most entrées are in the $14 range, and they’re generously sized. Two hungry people can

spend less than $50 here and have plenty of leftovers.

As always, Mac’s is BYOB, cash-only, and serves no dessert. But hey, you should know that by now. Mac’s Diner is alive and well in the heart of the vibrant Shrewsbury Street dining scene that it

helped create. Stop in sometime, maybe for a Paul Mac Special (spaghetti, sausage, broccoli, mozzarella, all sautéed together in garlicky oil), or a heaping bowl of “ciambutta,” Mac’s version of cioppino. It’s a little taste of Worcester’s past, and it’s still pretty damn good.

Baba SushiKendra Lapin

Baba Sushi offers salads designed for the sushi-lover at reasonable prices—and is a good pick for anyone looking for a different kind of salad.

While the menu offered traditional salads with greens and vegetables (albeit with more Asian styled dressings), Katie and I went for the restaurant’s specialty: sushi and Japanese cuisine. We started with the seafood salad, a staple at most sushi restaurants. One of the things we noticed was the good-sized portion of marinated bright green seaweed atop a layer of daikon radish and carrots. It was dressed with a perfectly balanced sesame vinaigrette.

We also split the Chef’s Sampler. It was a set of three small salads that were much like deconstructed sushi. The fi rst was a tuna salad, similar to the minced mix within sushi and topped with fresh microgreen sprouts. The second was crabmeat and cucumber in a light dressing with tiny pink caviar. Lobster and a slightly spicy dressing was third, topped with black caviar. All three were just delicious alone and even better to jump between, while sampling different combinations.

Both salads fi lled us up without overfi lling us and cost $19.26. For two people, that makes a nice lunch that’s a little different and a little extra special for not an unreasonable amount of money.

Two minutes with...

What is your professional background?IN: My background is in business management, and I worked in the corporate world until I got into modeling and fell in love with it. I have been in the fashion industry for four years and have accomplished some incredible achievements—from event coordinating, modeling, runway and backstage directing, recruiting models to producing a whole show at numerous high-end events across the country.JK: My background is in business administration. I worked in the night-life scene of Worcester for 10 years, managing numerous night clubs, event coordinating, producing events and running a record label STR8UP ENT. for nine years. I’ve also traveled the world and became the VP of Wu-Tang Management.

What inspired you to open Exclusives?IN: With my background in business management and fashion along with Jimmy’s background in business administration and music, it was inevitable. It was too perfect for two entrepreneurs like us to start a business like this, since we both are current and relevant in the music and fashion industry of today. We wanted to pave the way for aspiring artists and fashion designers to achieve their goals

through the portal we have set up.

How would you describe Exclusives?IN: “Where music meets fashion.” For a normal person, you will see a place to buy exclusive shirts, dresses, jewelry, CDs, DVDs, and vinyls that you can’t fi nd in other stores. To us, Exclusives is place artists and fashion designers can use as their portal to the industry. We encourage and have numerous in-store signings for any artist that is releasing an album. We also have numerous trunk shows on our runway for fashion designers to launch their clothing lines. After the artists or the designers do the in-store, then we help publicize and carry their merchandise. Thus we called our store “Exclusives.” You won’t be able to fi nd most of the things we have in our store anywhere else.

Along with the store, we have the offi ce in the back for STR8UP Ent., Wu-Tang Management, Protect Ya Neck Records, and Miss Central Massachusetts. We currently are building a professional recording studio in the other side to help the community advance to the next level of entertainment and fashion.

How do you feel music and fashion intersect?IN: Music and fashion go hand in hand. They are both trendsetters. Music and fashion also help express your own personality and character. Fashion

and music are always evolving, and you have to stay on top of it to stay relevant with the society.

How would you describe the style of clothing and music that you feature?IN: We try to cater to all genres of style and music, from high-end to everyday casual and from old to new. We also encourage and carry local artists’ music and fashion designers’ clothing, which makes us different from a lot of stores. We embrace the local talent that is in New England, especially artists and designers from our hometown, Worcester.

What do you think the next big trend in fashion will be?IN: As everyone knows, history repeats itself. I think the ’50s and ’70s are coming back with high-waisted bell-bottom jumpsuits, bandanas, pencil skirts, and cropped jackets. I think clothes will be colorful and retro for summer, edgy and dark for fall.JK: I hope guys will be wearing fi tted LOOSE clothing. I want to see clothes that are edgy, with a lot of bold colors, a sleek classic look of the ’80s with a twist of everyone’s individuality.

Ivania Nicole, you are running the Miss Central Massachusetts Pageant at Mechanics Hall on July 13 and 14 at Carrington Hall. How did you become involved in pageants?IN: I got involved in pageants through modeling after participating in Miss Boston. I wanted to create a platform here for the young girls and ladies of Central Massachusetts. Since its inauguration three years ago, it has proven to be the premier beauty pageant being the only offi cial local state pageant that offers the title holder the opportunity represent of all young ladies in Central Massachusetts and serve as a delegate competing in the state title at Miss Massachusetts USA 2013 this November in Lowell. The winner of Miss Massachusetts USA then enters Miss USA that takes place in Las Vegas. Contestants in Teens (ages 14-17) and Misses (ages 18-26) divisions will compete not just for a crown and title, but to achieve the status of a role model to many, many young ladies in the community. Our Little Miss Princess contestants will compete on Sunday, July 14, at Carrington Hall (Princess division ages 5-7 and Little Misses ages 8-12).
