  They earn keep
  By Steve Kenneway
  Monday, September 1, 2008 - Added 23h ago
  
  
  The Herald should have done some research into the correction officers hired over the past few years (“Your tax dollars at work,” Aug. 25). You may have found out that the state refused to hire new officers for years, which led to more than 600 vacancies. You would have discovered that as a 24-hour operation, when vacancies occur, officers are forced to work overtime. We accept that as part of the job, but a little research may have shed some light on bigger problems that need addressing.
  
  The year in question was when the state finally agreed to terms for pay raises to the officers who were forced to work OT after four years of negotiations. Yes, as a result of back pay, one officer may have doubled his pay, but what about the other 3,800 officers who only recently actually got a partner to work the block with them? I also didn’t see an article about the 600 assaults on officers in the past year.

  On Sept. 7, 2006, Nouriel Roubini, an economics professor at New York University, stood before an audience of economists at the International Monetary Fund and announced that a crisis was brewing. In the coming months and years, he warned, the United States was likely to face a once-in-a-lifetime housing bust, an oil shock, sharply declining consumer confidence and, ultimately, a deep recession. He laid out a bleak sequence of events: homeowners defaulting on mortgages, trillions of dollars of mortgage-backed securities unraveling worldwide and the global financial system shuddering to a halt. These developments, he went on, could cripple or destroy hedge funds, investment banks and other major financial institutions like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. What What !!

• Med errors are commong -- Reality, 15:31:43 08/06/08 Wed
  The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) today released its fourth annual national report summarizing the most recent data collected by MEDMARXSM, the anonymous national medication error reporting database operated by USP.
  
  Among the highlights: more than one-third of hospital medication errors that reach the patient involve seniors--showing they continue to be a vulnerable population in U.S. health care facilities.
  
  MEDMARX helps hospitals report, understand and ultimately prevent medication errors in hospitals. The MEDMARX data report, Summary of Information Submitted to MEDMARX in the Year 2002:
  
  The Quest for Quality, provides a comprehensive analysis of 192,477 medication errors as voluntarily reported by 482 hospitals and health care facilities nationwide, including community, government and teaching institutions. MEDMARX is the nation's largest database of medication errors, containing more than 530,000 released records. By the end of the third quarter of 2004, the number of records in the MEDMARX database will approach one million.
  
  Seniors at Greater Risk of Hospital Medication Errors
  
  'The report data revealed that more than one-third of the medication errors reaching the patient involved a patient aged 65 or older,' said Diane Cousins, R.Ph., vice president of the Center for the Advancement of Patient Safety (CAPS) at USP.
  
  'As the senior population continues to increase, USP is calling for hospitals to focus on reducing medication errors among seniors. Seniors and their families need to become more involved in their care.'
  
  Specifically with reference to the senior population, the 2002 MEDMARX data report revealed a number of significant findings, including:
  
  A majority (55 percent) of fatal hospital medication errors reported involved seniors.
  
  When medication errors caused harm to seniors 9.6 percent were prescribing errors.
  
  Wrong route (7 percent), such as a tube feeding given intravenously, and wrong administration technique (6.5 percent), such as not diluting concentrated medications, were the second and third most common errors among those aged 65 and over.
  
  Omission errors (43 percent), improper dose/quantity errors (18 percent), and unauthorized drug errors (11 percent) were the most common types of medication errors among seniors.
  
  More Error Reporting Helps Reduce Patient Harm and Injury
  
  'We are seeing a strong upsurge in the number of medication errors in the database,' Cousins said. 'This increase is a positive step toward identifying and eliminating medication errors and ensuring the safety and well-being of all hospital patients. By identifying medication error trends and problem areas, hospitals will be able to prevent future errors and reduce patient harm and injuries.'
  
  Of the 192,477 medication errors documented by MEDMARX, the vast majority were corrected before causing harm to the patient. However, 3,213 errors, or 1.7 percent of the total, resulted in patient injury.
  
  Of this number, 514 errors required initial or prolonged hospitalization, 47 required interventions to sustain life, and 20 resulted in a patient's death. Compared with 2001 data, a smaller percentage of reported errors resulted in harm to the patient (1.7 percent in 2002 versus 2.4 percent in 2001).
  
  The 2002 MEDMARX data report also found that incorrect administration technique continues to be responsible for the largest number of harmful medication errors (6.2 percent).
  
  This occurs when medications are either incorrectly prepared or administered, or both. Examples include not diluting concentrated medications, crushing sustained-released medications, wrong eye application of eye drops, and using incorrect IV tubes for medicine administration.
  
  Health care facilities attributed medication errors to many reasons and often cited workplace distractions (43 percent), staffing issues such as shift changes and floating staff (36 percent), and workload increases (22 percent), as contributing factors. Although workplace distraction remains the leading factor contributing to medication errors, the data revealed a drop from 47 percent in 2001.

• Gotta Love it -- R&R, 12:25:56 03/14/08 Fri
  A bloody fraternity of the state’s most monstrous killer cons are plotting their releases from prison as part of a Department of Correction-sanctioned club whose aim is to shorten its members’ lengthy sentences.
  
  Groomed by two men who murdered their own wives and children, dozens of lifers recognized by the state as the nonprofit Lifers’ Group Inc. convene twice a month at MCI-Norfolk and - according to minutes of their meetings obtained by the Herald - have focused in the last year on:
  
  • Lobbying outside support for abolishing life without parole.
  
  • Starting a Toastmasters club.
  
  • Discussing the biographies of the Parole Board’s seven members.
  
  • Charity work, including a Walk for Hunger in their exercise yard to benefit Project Bread.
  
  Judith Hartnett’s 21-year-old daughter Tara Hartnett was killed by Lifers’ Group Inc. director James Cyr in 1993. Convicted of first-degree murder for repeatedly stabbing the mother of his baby, then setting her ablaze after soaking her with gasoline, Cyr is not eligible for parole.
  
  “Give them an inch, they take a yard,” railed Hartnett, 56, of South Boston. “He doesn’t deserve to live after what he did to my daughter, let alone be free.”
  
  Parole for first-degree murder “is never going to happen,” she believes, “and if it does, (Cyr) will have me to contend with.”
  
  Michael O’Keefe, president of the Massachusetts District Attorneys Association, wonders, “Would they prefer that we go back to the death penalty? Perhaps that could be an agenda item for their next meeting.
  
  “I would suggest there’s no appetite for taking life without parole out of the equation,” the Cape and Islands DA said, “either in the Legislature or the public.”
  
  State Parole Board Chairwoman Maureen Walsh would not comment.
  
  Massachusetts Department of Correction Commissioner Harold W. Clarke released the following statement: “The MCI-Norfolk Lifers Group Inc. has existed since the early 1970s. It is one of many inmate support groups permitted by the Department of Correction. The group has a governing body led by a chairman and it meets twice monthly.”
  
  That chairman is Gordon Haas, a former department store manager who on June 26, 1973, smothered his pregnant wife, Shirley, and toddler son and daughter with plastic bags in their Ipswich home.
  
  Haas’ secretary is Kenneth Seguin, a computer software executive from Holliston who on April 28, 1992, drugged his son and daughter and slit their throats, heaved them in a pond, then went home and split open his wife Mary Ann’s head with an ax.
  
  Seguin was convicted of second-degree murder and is serving three consecutive life sentences, but one day will be eligible for parole. He was given the lesser sentence after his defense attorney argued Seguin was mentally ill at the time of the killings.
  
  Time may not be on the lifers’ sides, but occasionally they see light at the end of their tunnel. By a 5-1 vote, Edgar Bowser III, who serves on Lifers’ Group Inc.’s board of directors, was granted parole in December from his sentence for murdering Shrewsbury police officer James Lonchiadis in 1975. Bowser will be released later this year.
  
  On Jan. 17, 2007, Bowser gave his behind-bars brethren a report on “the physical layout of the Parole Board hearing, where everyone sits and how restraints are used,” according to minutes from that meeting, attended by 72 members.
  
  Lifers found encouraging that former cop Mark Conrad, nominated to the Parole Board by Gov. Deval Patrick, was confirmed by a 5-3 vote of the Governor’s Council, declaring in minutes from their June 19 meeting, “The vote shows that the loud cry to stop making the board a criminal justice only board is being heard.”
  
  But Kurt Schwartz, Patrick’s undersecretary in the Executive Office of Public Safety, said, “We support the sentence of life without parole for first-degree murder. We would oppose any efforts to change that sentence.”

  RAYNHAM —
  A 4-year-old boy was allegedly groped in a bathroom at the Market Basket by a store employee last month, inciting the boy’s father to attack the perpetrator during the incident.
  
  Valerio Rodriguez, 71, of Providence, was charged with a felony count of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 after he reached underneath a bathroom dividing wall and touched the boy high on his leg as he was standing on a bucket to use the adjacent urinal, police say.
  
  The stall’s partition is elevated 18 inches off the ground, police say, providing “plenty of room for Rodriguez to reach under the stall.”
  
  The boy’s father, Jason R. Beatrice, 31, of Oak Street, who was also in the washroom during the incident, told police he forced open the stall door and punched Rodriguez several times, resulting in a minor cut on the suspect’s lip and a welt on the middle of his head.
  
  Speaking through a store employee, Rodriguez, who speaks Spanish, told police he was wrong for touching the boy and “only fooling around.”
  
  Police charged Beatrice with assault for hitting Rodriguez, saying they empathized with his actions but would have preferred Beatrice detain the suspect until police arrived.
  Although Rodriguez faces a felony charge, police decided not to arrest the suspect at the scene due to his advanced aged and lack of a criminal record.
  
  “The reason you would [make an arrest] would be to stop the crime or you don’t think the person would show up in court,” Raynham Police Chief Louis Pacheco said.
  Arresting Rodriguez, he said, would have required police to also arrest Beatrice, a scene that might have further traumatized the young victim.
  
  Decisions like giving Rodriguez a summons rather than handcuffing him at the scene are the police chief’s responsibility, said Gregg Miliote, spokesman for the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office. “They have the discretion until the arraignment, then it’s our case,” he said.
  
  According to a flyer circulated around town, Rodriguez however, was still seen working at the Market Basket as recently as last week.
  
  A spokesman for Tewksbury-based Demoulas Supermarkets, owner of the Market Basket chain, did not immediately respond to inquiries regarding the incident, but a report in the Raynham Call stated Rodriguez was suspended from his job pending the investigation.
  
  Rodriguez is scheduled to be arraigned in Taunton Superior Court July 29. Beatrice will be arraigned July 31.

  'Disabled' firefighter competes in bodybuilding contest
  Despite a claim that he is "permanently disabled" from a work-related back injury, Boston firefighter Albert Arroyo competed in the International Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness competition in May. (Video from Spaz Productions
  Globe Staff / July 19, 2008
  
  Outraged Boston fire officials ordered Albert Arroyo to return to work Monday, just days after they watched a video of the firefighter in a bodybuilding competition despite his claim that he had suffered a career-ending back injury and was on paid leave.
  
  "If he can lift barbells, he can lift a clipboard," Boston Fire Commissioner Roderick J. Fraser Jr. said yesterday.
  
  Fraser, who said Arroyo appeared to be in better shape than most firefighters, shot off a letter to Arroyo Thursday saying he expected him back on the job Monday. If he does not show up, the department will begin disciplinary actions up to and including termination.
  
  Arroyo's bodybuilding career surfaced while he was out injured and awaiting approval of an accidental disability retirement. But it also put even more heat on a department that was already facing a federal grand jury investigation of questionable injury claims by dozens of current and former Boston firefighters.
  
  The Globe reported in January that 74 percent of Boston firefighter retirements between 2005 and 2007 were granted because of accidental disabilities. Cities of similar size reported disability retirement rates of less than 30 percent.
  
  Arroyo, 46, a firefighter since 1986, is assigned to the department's Fire Prevention Division, where he is responsible for inspecting homes and businesses to ensure that they comply with city fire codes.
  
  The Globe posted the video on its website Monday and reported that Arroyo placed eighth in the 2008 Pro Natural American Championships on May 3. He had been out of work and collecting his salary tax-free since March, when he reported suffering a back injury that no one witnessed at a fire station where he was not assigned to work.
  
  The injury was ostensibly so severe that his doctor wrote that he should be granted an accidental disability retirement because he is "totally and permanently disabled."
  
  Arroyo has referred questions to his lawyer, James S. Dilday, who said yesterday that he does not think Arroyo should return to work.
  
  "My understanding is that a doctor certified him as being totally and permanently disabled, and if that's the case, then he needs to follow the directions of his doctor," said Dilday. He said he has been in Vietnam for several days and has not met with Arroyo.
  
  Arroyo said he slipped on a staircase at the Jamaica Plain fire station on March 21 and applied for disability retirement, which gives firefighters who suffered on-the-job injuries 72 percent of their salaries tax-free for life. While he waited for his application to be processed, he collected 100 percent of his $68,133 salary tax-free.
  
  After Fire Department officials learned about his bodybuilding endeavors in late May, they rescinded his injured leave and placed him on sick leave, during which he has to pay income taxes.
  
  Fraser said yesterday that after seeing the video, in which Arroyo poses to recorded music while flexing what appear to be well-developed back muscles, Fraser decided to rescind the sick leave. "We feel that he is able to work, so we can't leave him on sick leave," Fraser said.
  
  The commissioner said that Arroyo, through his lawyer, had appealed the department's decision to change his leave status from injured to sick, but did not provide any evidence to justify the commissioner overturning the decision, which was made by the department's chief of personnel. In his letter ordering Arroyo back to work, Fraser denied that appeal.
  
  Fraser declined to say what disciplinary action he plans to take if Arroyo does not show up for work Monday. Under current guidelines, if he does not come to work for 14 days, the department can begin termination proceedings on the basis he has abandoned his post.
  
  Department spokesman Steve MacDonald said yesterday that he hopes that does not happen. "We're hopeful that he will show up for work," he said.
  
  Mayor Thomas M. Menino, who had said earlier that he believes Arroyo is abusing the system and deserves to suffer the consequences, referred questions yesterday to the Fire Department.
  
  Arroyo is a member of the Boston Firefighters Union, which has clashed with Fraser over his efforts to change the culture in a department long dominated by the union. Firefighters of every rank, except the commissioner, belong to the same union, and until Fraser arrived in September 2006, commissioners had always risen through the ranks.

  Fla. officer fired for demanding free coffee
  Email|Print|Single Page| Text size – + July 18, 2008
  DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.—An internal affairs report says a Daytona Beach police officer demanded free coffee and tea from a Starbucks and threatened employees with slower emergency response times if they refused.
  
  Lt. Major Garvin, a 15-year veteran, was fired July 8. According to the Daytona Beach News-Journal, Chief Mike Chitwood says Garvin recently failed a polygraph test that he insisted on taking.
  
  The coffeehouse's employees claim that since June 2007, Garvin had visited the store as many as six times a night while on duty. Besides demanding free drinks, workers complained that Garvin also cut in front of paying customers.
  
  A telephone listing for Garvin could not be found

  Globe Correspondent / June 30, 2008
  A Massachusetts correctional officer faces arraignment today on drug charges after the Middlesex district attorney's office said he attempted to sell eight pounds of marijuana to a State Police trooper working undercover in Lowell.
  
  The case against Robert Sweeney, 48, of Dracut, who works at MCI-Concord, is not related to the arrest of another correctional officer on Thursday in Winthrop, said Corey Welford, spokesman for District Attorney Gerard T. Leone Jr.
  
  Investigators were led to Sweeney in June, when they first learned he was allegedly dealing marijuana, the DA's office stated. About 3:15 p.m. Saturday, he attempted to sell the marijuana to the trooper for $10,000, according to the office.
  
  Police executed a search warrant at his address after the arrest and seized two pounds of marijuana, 100 bottles of steroids, and six tablets of ecstasy, Leone's office said.
  
  Investigators do not believe Sweeney sold drugs while on the job or used his position for criminal activity, the office stated.
  
  Sweeney was suspended with pay pending the outcome of an internal investigation by the state Department of Correction, said Diane Wiffin, a department spokeswoman.
  
  On Thursday, Scott Sears, 36, of Winthrop, a correctional officer with the Middlesex Sheriff's Office, was charged with transporting drugs to inmates at Billerica House of Correction, where he works, authorities said.
  
  An undercover agent met with Sears at a doughnut shop in Winthrop and gave him drugs in a coffee cup. As payment, Sears allegedly received $150 in cash and 3 grams of cocaine. He has been suspended without pay from his job.
  
  Sears was charged with two counts of possession, one with intent to distribute; committing a drug violation near a school or park; and delivering drugs to a prisoner.
  
  Sweeney was being held on $20,000 cash bail on four counts of possession, two with intent to distribute; one count of distribution; and one count of conspiracy to violate the narcotics laws.
  
  He is to be arraigned today in Lowell District Court.

  Boston DPW workers stationed at the Northern Avenue drawbridge spend their days watching satellite TV in an air-conditioned trailer, washing their cars and cooking out on a grill as taxpayers get soaked with nearly $200,000 for their salaries, a Herald probe has found.
  
  The soft duty at the bridge was spotted just one month after Mayor Thomas M. Menino - angered by reports of widespread Department of Public Works slacking - vowed, “We can do better and we will do better.”
  
  But during a five-day surveillance, the Herald observed several workers assigned to the Northern Avenue Bridge literally doing nothing for hours on end - spending long stretches in the trailer, emerging no more than once per day to open the bridge for boats.
  
  
  Menino spokeswoman Dot Joyce said the employees pay the satellite TV tab themselves and that the hookup - which features a full sports and music package and premium pay channels, such as HBO, Showtime and Cinemax - was approved by former DPW administrators.
  
  “As long as they’re doing what they’re supposed to be doing in terms of letting boats through and being at their post, that’s what their job is,” Joyce said. “Watching television doesn’t seem to harm their quality of work.”
  
  Two workers, drawtender Stephen Silcott, who earns $55,600 a year, and Antoine Jamison, an assistant drawtender who made $18,337 last year, were spotted casually washing their own personal vehicles two days in a row.
  
  Last Wednesday, there were five workers at the trailer at once as well as a sixth unidentified man, all of whom gathered for a waterfront afternoon feast whipped up on the grill by first assistant drawtender Moises Valdes, who made $37,456 last year. Thursday, the day’s labor included just one task: attaching plywood to a railing to serve as a makeshift wind shield for the grill.
  
  And last Tuesday, Jamison was spotted taking a leisurely stroll across the Summer Street bridge, stopping briefly to gaze at the marina. City officials say bridge workers are not supposed to leave their posts.
  
  While other city drawbridges are manned by just one employee, as many as three DPW workers are assigned to the Northern Avenue span, which is open only to pedestrians. City officials say a minimum of two are needed at the bridge because fences have to be manually shut by one worker while a second hits a switch to open the swivel bridge.
  
  On Wednesdays, three workers are assigned to the bridge to allow all members of the unit to be paid for a full 40-hour week, officials said.
  
  The plum post puts the DPW workers along Fort Point Channel overlooking a marina and the popular Barking Crab fish shanty. The trailer is outfitted with a refrigerator, water cooler, bathroom and two TVs.
  
  As for the grill, city officials say that, too, is approved because employees are required to stay on the bridge. U.S. Coast Guard requirements mandate that the city’s other drawbridges are manned 24 hours per day but the Northern Avenue span is unattended from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Boaters have to call a phone number two hours in advance to have the bridge opened during those hours.
  
  In all, the city employs 19 drawtenders who make an average of about $50,000 annually.
  
  The Herald’s findings come just days after Menino suspended DPW chief Dennis Royer for three weeks for allowing a computer network manager to work from her home in Venezuela for months. The embattled agency also has been the target of an investigation by the Boston Finance Commission, which uncovered no-show workers and widespread time card fraud and resulted in penalties against 18 DPW workers from warnings to termination.
  
  “It’s definitely an agency in trouble,” said Boston Finance Commission chair Jeff Conley. “But these problems didn’t happen overnight and they’re going to be slow to change.”

  Guatemalan prisoners behead prison officer
  
  
  
  GUATEMALA CITY -- Angry Guatemalan prisoners decapitated a senior prison official during a riot, emergency officials said on Friday.
  Jorge Augusto Mendoza, deputy director of the prison, was beheaded in the riot in Chimaltenango prison on Thursday night, said Mario Cruz, an emergency services spokesman. The dead man's body was missing an arm, Cruz said. "The deputy director was killed and the director of the prison and three guards were injured," prison system spokesman Nery Morales said.

• Key phrases sowing fear and division--changing the game -- from lexington Ky. Herald,, 07:52:36 05/17/08 Sat
  
  
  The opportunity for national renewal will be even greater if, as appears almost certain, Sen. Barack Obama is the nominee.
  
  ... while Clinton is an adept practitioner of politics as we know it, Obama is offering something new. He makes a convincing case that he can lead this country without sowing fear and dividing people, the cynical ploys of a political era that has run out of steam.
  
  Obama has given voice to a widespread yearning not just for a changing of the guard but for a changing of the game. And that ability to express a people's aspirations is a mark of leadership.
  
  Like President John F. Kennedy, another senator who electrified young people, Obama also has the substance to transform idealism into action.
  
  ... Obama is uniquely suited to lay out the challenges, reignite this country's can-do spirit and lead us into a better future.

  By Steve Urbon

  NEW BEDFORD — A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals has ruled against Bristol County Sheriff Thomas M. Hodgson in a case where five guards accused the sheriff of violating their civil rights by punishing them for talking about a union picket line.
  
  “There is ample evidence that Hodgson suspended the plaintiffs not out of a legitimate concern that their speech compromised safety at the correctional facilities but because of their pro-union activity,” the court ruled.

  The ruling, which could be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court by Mr. Hodgson, awards back pay and legal fees to the five corrections officers. As of early 2007, when the case was argued in the First Circuit Court of Appeals, those legal fees amounted to $172,248, plus $2,482 in expenses.
  
  The events occurred in 2000 during a tense period in contract negotiations with the sheriff. The five are represented by New Bedford attorney Philip Beauregard.

• ANOTHER MANAGER IN TROUBLE FOR RAPE !!!!! -- EDUCATION OR HYPOCRACY?, 10:04:34 04/19/08 Sat
  A little while ago the D.O.C. Intranet had on it's front page the details of a Correction Officers crime and punishment concerning direct work related sexual misconduct (rape).It was n article taken directly from a news paper. I thought it was a cheap shot at the time to the great majority of the D.O.C. work force who don't rape and pillage at work and so was the feeling of many of my co-workers state wide. The DOC comented on it's propoganda web site in not so many words that, "it's educational, and informs the workforce of the seriousness of staff sexual misconduct." What a joke. Tomorrow they are going to inform the DOC work force that jumping from planes without a parachute is risky behavior and drinking crushed glass mixed with cool-ade will give you a tummy ache .Here's my major complaint: when line staff screw up(as often happens) management is quick to publicize said fact as well as splash it all over the intranet. How about when they screw up ROYALLY? Here's my plea to the powers in charge: Please post the article about the Sheriff (DOC MANAGER THE EQUIVALENT OF SUPERINTENDENT)from Oklahoma who has been recently charged with 35 felony charges against him including 14 COUNTS OF RAPE,seven COUNTS of FORCIBLE ORAL SODOMY,and five COUNTS of BRIBERY by a public official!Please post this on the Intranet immediately, "for educational purposes and to help show DOC management what can happen when they rape,sodomize, and bribe at work!" Now, before you say,"Well, no Massachusetts DOC manager has ever been down that road before...I'll say you are wrong. My point is, DOC employees do bad things. So do DOC managers (OKAY I"LL AGREE THEY DO IT FAR LESS) but why post it on the intranet. Make it a mandatory class/discussion at the Academy/forty hour training for all employees if you wish. BUT DON"T PUT IT ON THE INTRANET TO EDUCATE ME-THAT IS A BOLD FACED LIE. IF IT ISN'T,THEN POST THIS ARTICLE IMMEDIATELY! This just in from the DOC managers,smuggling drugs into a facility is not only against policy,but a crime! Thank you DOC for keeping me educated and aware of consequences!!!! I really don't want you to post this recent article about the Sheriff on the intranet. It wouldn't teach Superintendents, Deputies and DOS's a thing. They are good people and good Managers. And if you posted that it would be an insult to their proffessionalism and integrity. Do you get it? It was an insult to ours as well. If you don't agree, please splash this article all over the intranet. At least we as employees will no you aren't hypocrites.

  MARLBOROUGH, Mass. -- A state employee was arrested Sunday night after he went to a Dunkin' Donuts drive-through window while naked, said police.
  
  According to police, Steven Gerrior, 25, allegedly pulled up to the window around 6:30 p.m. Sunday and fondled himself while waiting for his coffee.
  
  When a woman working handed Gerrior a napkin he had asked for, she saw he was nude and became too upset to serve him. When another female employee handed Gerrior the coffee, she also saw him touching himself. One of the women got his license plate number and called police.
  
  Gerrior was arrested for open and gross lewdness. He was arraigned Monday morning and released without bail.
  
  Gerrior was suspended with pay, pending the outcome of an investigation

  Correction officers vote for change
  
  By Winston W. Wiley TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF
  
  WEST BOYLSTON— Correction officers at the Worcester County Jail and House of Correction have voted to sever ties with their union and instead join the New England Police Benevolent Association.
  
  The vote, 256-20, was held Thursday and means the 360 officers and sergeants at the county jail complex will no longer be represented by the Massachusetts Correction Officers Federated Union.
  
  “I think it sent a message that people really want change,” said Peter A. Boyd, chief steward who is expected to become president under the new union. “We have a lot of concerns up here that people don’t know about,” chief among them safety issues for officers and inmates.
  
  
  The correction officers had been part of the 4,500- to 5,000-member MCOFU for 12 years. Mr. Boyd stressed that the change was not a vote against the state Department of Correction officers, but against the union which county jail correction officers felt was “too close” to Sheriff Guy W. Glodis’ administration.
  
  “Our battle was with MCOFU and the people who represent us,” he said. “We have all the respect in the world for the officers in the state correction system.”
  
  New executive board officers were recently elected under the old union, and those people will remain in place until a new election is held in the next few weeks, Mr. Boyd said. Worcester police officers also joined the same union in December after members voted to leave their old union.
  
  “The Worcester police union have extended their hand to us and I think that’s going to be a pretty good relationship for us and them,” Mr. Boyd said, adding that his members feel empowered by the change and the prospects.
  
  “We feel now that we are going to take back control of our local union and we are hoping to work out issues at the table,” he said.

  7:32 pm Teddy may be right in that many white boomers now may not vote for Barack Obama. I just want to say that his speech today brought me to tears. For the first time in a long time, Obama helped me to recognize and tap into my deep love of America. I realize that much of the anger and rage expressed by Black America is a profound love turned against itself. Obama’s words have helped me to look at myself and has forced me to be brutally honest in recognizing my role in playing black victim. I will play victim no more. He deomonstrates the true traits of a natural leader. Whether or not he is elected, he has done much to move many to a higher level.

• State’s new prison chief said he would consider killer’s sex-change request -- Reader, 12:56:07 04/01/08 Tue
  BOSTON - The state’s new prison chief says he will take a fresh look at a request by a transsexual killer to have a state-funded sex change operation.
  
  The Department of Correction has for years strenuously opposed allowing Michelle Kosilek to have the surgery. But Commissioner Harold Clarke, who took over the department in November, said today he has not decided yet whether to continue to fight her request.
  
  Robert Kosilek was sentenced to life in prison for murdering his wife. Kosilek legally changed her name to Michelle in 1993 and has been living as a woman in prison.
  
  She sued in federal court for the right to get the surgery, and has been awaiting a ruling for more than a year.

  An old man is sitting on a park bench crying his eyes out. A young jogger comes by and asks him what is the matter.
  
  The old man says, "I'm a multimillionare, I have a great big house, the fastest car in the world and I just married a beautiful blonde bombshell who satisfies me every night in bed whether I like it or not (sob)."
  
  The young jogger says, "Man, you have everything I have ever dreamed for in my life. What could be so wrong in your life that you are sitting here in the park crying?"
  
  The old man says, "I can't remember where I live."

• prison humor -- jokes R us, 06:42:26 02/23/08 Sat
  
  An escaped convict broke into a house and tied up a young couple who had been sleeping in the bedroom. As soon as he had a chance, the husband turned to his voluptuous young wife, bound up on the bed in a skimpy nightgown, and whispered, "Honey, this guy hasn't seen a woman in years. Just cooperate with anything he wants. If he wants to have sex with you, just go along with it and pretend you like it. Our lives depend on it!"
  
  "Dear," the wife hissed, spitting out her gag, "I'm so relieved you feel that way because he just told me he thinks you have a nice tight butt!"
