Letter to the editor: Regarding the proposed development on North Main

I am writing to express dismay at the approval of the vapid, cookie-cutter building proposed for North Main. This building is a boring clone of the other Kleenex box structures sprouting all over Providence. There is absolutely nothing attractive about it — the developers couldn’t even be bothered to pretend to have trees or a relationship with the sidewalk and pedestrians. People are already complaining about the impact on parking, but North Main needs and can easily accommodate more density, especially if it would take advantage of its location to serve multiple transportation modes such as the train and bus station. It’s wide enough for large trees, it has space for local and even small chain stores (Marshalls or TJ Maxx, for example, which exist now only in the suburbs!), it could have wider sidewalks and a dedicated bike lane — and on and on. Despite the acres of frequently empty parking lots, moreover, the west side of the street has a prime location above the Moshassuck River. If you look at the satellite map of the area, that side is totally bereft of any amenities, while the east side has shade, trees, and a variety of different building types.

Fall River artist wins $15,000 Boston Artadia grant award

Fall River artist Harry Gould Harvey IV will receive $15,000 in grant money after being selected for a Boston Artadia Award.

The three were chosen from more than 300 applicants and will receive unrestricted grants as well as access to Artadia's national network of artists and arts professionals.

Harvey draws on the SouthCoast Harvey's work uses materials gathered from across the South Coast, including downed trees, former Gilded Age mansions, factories and Gothic churches. He uses those materials in drawings, handmade frames and large installations that explore the labor behind American industry and luxury, according to the announcement. His work has appeared in exhibitions at P·P·O·W in New York, the MIT List Visual Arts Center, the Hessel Museum of Art at Bard College and Brown University's David Winton Bell Gallery.

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

How NOSOLO and Newport Mental Health found a common thread

John Toracinta appreciates how a hat can tell a story; recalling a favorite place or sparking a conversation with a stranger. When he and NOSOLO co-founder Sarah Toracinta began imagining a business of their own, they saw an opportunity: using hats – and a brand – to make mental health easier to talk about. John brought a background in product development and marketing, but both founders wanted to build something that reflected their values, with a focus on giving back. Sarah explained her requirement: “If we’re going to start a brand, it has to be something that’s meaningful to both of us. I want to feel authentic selling it.” They chose mental health because of its universality, a realization that came into focus during their honeymoon. “We were traveling around Croatia meeting people and realizing, OK, we're halfway around the world, all venting and laughing about the same things. It doesn't matter where you come from. It doesn't matter how old you are .... we were bonding over the fact that we're all just human.” That shared experience became the foundation for NOSOLO, a clothing brand built around a simple but powerful idea: no one has to navigate life's challenges

Hardwood Flooring: Six Solid Choices for Your Home

- When it comes to home flooring, solid American Hardwoods™ have been our gold standard since the nation’s founding—and they still are. Few materials can match the durability of oak, walnut, maple, ash, and other favorite species, which can be sanded and refinished for decades, outlasting kids, pets, foot traffic, and trends—and somehow looking better for it. They’re also remarkably practical, available in multiple widths, grades, and finishes, and easy to install. “American hardwoods are grown, harvested, and milled right here, giving architects and builders a reliable, high-quality supply,” notes Ian Faight of the American Hardwood Information Center. “Nothing rivals hardwood’s warmth and natural variation, and as a low-emission, renewable resource, it supports healthier interiors and everyday well-being.” Here are six examples of what it can do for your home.

Joseph Case girls volleyball punches ticket to the Final Four

SWANSEA — It never gets old reaching the Final Four for Madisyn Mendonca and the Joseph Case girls volleyball team. The senior libero captain and the No. 4 Cardinals held their collective breathe down the stretch as an early 2-0 lead quickly evaporated against No. 5 Newburyport in a rematch from last season's Elite 8 match. With the score 2-2 heading into the all-important fifth set, Mendonca's team regained their composure. "I was a little worried there because I did not want this to be my last game," said Mendonca after Case eliminated the Clippers, 3-2, in Friday's Division 3 quarterfinal match in a playoff atmosphere at Joseph Case High School. "We just kept pushing at the end and getting to every ball. I'm so proud of this team." Watch MA high school sports on NFHS With the win, the Cardinals (19-4) advanced to their fourth Final Four in the last five years. Case will play either No. 1 Bellingham or No. 8 Pembroke at a time and date to be determined. "Newburyport made us worked for everything tonight," Cardinals head coach Brendan Kelly said. "You had a sense early on that this one had five written all over it."
