Ray Mariano: Things to be thankful for in Worcester

Worcester is far from perfect. But when you look around, the people of New England’s second-largest city have a lot to be thankful for. Yes, I know that the streets are filled with potholes and the city has more than its share of litter. And living in the shadow of Boston, one of America’s great cities, casts a pale on everything – we have Polar Park, they have Fenway, we have Shrewsbury Street, they have the North End. Still, there’s a long list of things to be thankful for. Here are just a few. Food Worcester has hundreds of wonderful restaurants that cater to almost any taste. Shrewsbury Street, the Canal District and downtown are the obvious locations for some of the best eateries but there are many dotted throughout the city’s neighborhoods. If you’re going out for breakfast, you won’t do better than the Parkway Diner. When you do, order “The Fenway.” I promise that you won’t be disappointed. If you’re in the mood for something truly special, walk across the street from City Hall and go to the 24th floor in the Glass Tower to Vivienne’s VUE Cocktail Lounge. This upscale Mediterranean restaurant serves tapas-style small plates and

Professor Won’t Shut Up About Stupid Baby

Beloved political science Professor Pat Ernity made his grand return from family leave this week. But according to students, he’s far from business as usual. Office hours attendee Kate Hids claims that instead of rounding her 73 to a 95, Prof Ernity yapped about his new baby for 30 minutes. “I couldn’t get a word in! He was all, ‘he’s growing so fast, he sleeps so well, blah blah blah.’ If I wanted to hear about some random kid, I’d watch ‘Toddlers and Tiaras.’” Colleagues have noticed a change as well. Professor Madison Washington reports that the political stickers on Professor Ernity’s door like “Believe Women,” “Justice for Contingents,” and “OJ Did It” have been covered up by photos of the aforementioned stupid baby. Instead of Bobby Kennedy (the first one) campaign posters and MLK quotes, the office walls were plastered with pictures of the same ugly baby from the door. Professor Washington also says that faculty meetings have doubled in length since Professor Ernity has discovered how to show baby photos on the projector. “There are only so many times I can pretend to care,” says Professor Washington. According to Professor Ernity’s advisee George J. H. W. Bush, thesis meetings aren’t going any smoother. “All he talks about is this stupid baby. He’s acting like he’s the one that gave birth. What is he, a seahorse?”

Sheriffs across Massachusetts have requested $241 million to repair and renovate their jails

Jail Funding Massachusetts ASSOCIATED PRESS Bristol County Sheriff Paul Heroux is seeking $27 million in state funding to renovate the Dartmouth House of Correction, so he can close the 148-year-old Ash Street Jail. But Heroux is facing competition from sheriffs across Massachusetts . They’re all seeking a share of limited state funding for major repairs and renovations at their facilities. Among the contenders is a jail even older than Ash Street: the Dukes County jail on Martha’s Vineyard, built in 1873, which needs structural and fire-safety repairs and more space. Essex County seeks to overhaul Middleton jail’s kitchen and dining area, while Worcester County wants to renovate deteriorating jail housing units and demolish a former hospital nurses’ home. Heroux shared his funding proposal with The Light for the first time, providing new details about the work needed to close Ash Street and its estimated cost. Five of the state’s 13 other sheriffs who run jails — Franklin, Berkshire , Dukes, Essex and Worcester — also shared their applications with The Light. Together, the sheriffs have requested about $241 million, far more than the $125 million to $150 million the state expects to allocate through the program. Franklin, Dukes and Essex
