Springfield car thief arrested in city By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A Springfield native by way of Louisville, Kentucky was arrested yesterday morning on Springfield Road in Westfield. Miracle Crimes, 28, of 292 Union Street, Springfield, was arraigned yesterday on charges of larceny of a motor vehicle, operating under the influence of alcohol, and speeding. According to the court’s statement of facts, Crimes was traveling westbound at 12:20 a.m. at an estimated 58 mph in a 40 mph zone on Springfield Road when arrested by Westfield police officer John Parrish, who was running stationary radar on the road. Parrish stated that the vehicle Crimes was traveling in, a white Ford Focus, had blown a tire and was driving on a rim. He pulled the vehicle over into the parking lot of the Bertera Dodge dealership nearby and asked Crimes if she was aware she was driving on a blown tire. After engaging in a conversation with Crimes, Parrish smelled alcohol on her breath and asked if she’d been drinking. Crimes said she’d had only one beer, which prompted the officer to ask for her license, at which time she produced a Kentucky drivers license. During the stop, West Springfield police contacted Westfield police dispatch to inform them they were looking for a stolen car which matched the query being run by Westfield police. West Springfield police confirmed that vehicle was stolen, and Crimes was arrested. Crimes was arraigned in Westfield District Court yesterday, where Judge Philip Contant set bail at $250. She is due back in court on October 10 for a pre-trial hearing.

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Community Preservation Committee gave approval to a funding request to repair Hangar 2 at Barnes Regional Airport, but attached a number of conditions to that vote. The 10,000-square-foot hangar was built in 1939 with a brick, wood and steel structure that fell into disrepair in the 1970s when the original facade was covered with aluminum siding. Airport Manager Brian Barnes said the rehabilitation plan is to repair the “envelope” of the structure, which has been deemed of historical significance by the city’s Historical Committee, and restore it to its original appearance. The level of funding approved last night was significantly below the level requested in the original Community Preservation Act application. Barnes said the original funding request of $750,000 was a rough or “spitball” estimate.

Animal abuse bill heading to Gov. Patrick’s desk By Peter Francis Staff Writer BOSTON — Massachusetts lawmakers have given final passage to a bill that would toughen penalties for those who abuse animals. The House and Senate gave final approval to the so-called PAWS bill — short for Protecting Animal Welfare and Safety — during the legislature’s informal session this week. The bill would raise the maximum prison time from five to seven years for a first offense and up to 10 years for any subsequent offenses. It also would increase the possible fine for committing animal abuse from $2,500 to $5,000 for a first offense, and up to $10,000 for any subsequent
offenses. The bill now heads to Gov. Deval Patrick’s desk for his signature before becoming law. The bill’s sponsor, Gloucester Republican Sen. Bruce Tarr, has pointed to the need for stiffer penalties by citing the case of a dog, “Puppy Doe” that was euthanized after being found beaten and tortured in Quincy last year. “Animal abuse in our commonwealth is simply unacceptable,” Tarr, the Senate’s Republican leader, said in a written statement Thursday. “Now we have acted to increase penalties to send a clear and immediate message.” See Animal Abuse Bill, Page 8

Big Y solar project runoff floods Southwick neighborhood By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Wednesday’s rain caused major problems for several residents of College Highway who live in front of the new solar project being built by Big Y. Runoff from the project left one homeowner without a driveway and another without a usable backyard. Michael Noble, who lives right next to the access road to the project, said there was
always some runoff from the hill, but not like what he experienced this week. “It was never like this before,” said Noble. “It was never this bad. They cleared out the woods and the water came right through my property – my backyard is destroyed.” Department of Public Works (DPW) Director Randy Brown was on scene during the storm and the next day. He said representatives from the solar company, RGS Energy, and design firm Design Group, Inc., as well as

Big Y, were also on-site along with town officials. “There is pretty significant erosion,” said Brown. “It is pretty clear that it is runoff from the project.” The solution to preventing a similar event lies in a redesign of the stormwater plan, which currently includes a rock bed around the property that flows into a detention basin at the front of the property where Big Y is located.

Noble said the system in place now failed completely and now he has to wait for the cleanup to begin. “It did absolutely nothing. I have a sump pump running to get the water out of my basement, but I can’t use my yard,” he said. “It is a disaster.” Noble said he spoke with Matthew Puntin of Design Group, Inc. and attended a meeting See Project Runoff, Page 3
Last year, Matthew D. Puntin of S-K Design Group of Pittsfield, explained a site plan of a new 1.83 megawatt solar array to members of the Southwick Planning Board. The new array covers 2.7 acres of land south of the Big-Y Supermarket in Southwick. (File photo by Frederick Gore)

Bondsman: Alleged cookie thief can’t make $5 bond ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — An Albuquerque man charged with stealing cookies can’t get out jail. That because a bail bond agent says the $5 bond is too high for him. KOAT-TV reports (http://goo.gl/qtgosz) that Lucky Crowder is sitting in an Albuquerque jail at around $80 a day since no one will pay his $5 bond fee. Bail bond agent Gerald Madrid says Crowder called for his help but the jail doesn’t allow a bondsman to post cash bail. Court records show Crowder was arrested last month on shoplifting items worth less than $250. He was later charged with biting a health care worker but that case was later dismissed by the district attorney leaving the $5 bond his ticket out of jail. No attorney is listed for Crowder.

Mass. hospitals report more medical errors BOSTON (AP) — The number of medical errors reported by Massachusetts acute-care hospitals has jumped 70 percent since the state both expanded the scope of incidents hospitals are required to report and adopted a computerized system to more easily notify health officials. Hospitals reported 753 serious medical errors and other patient injuries to the state Public Health Department last year, according to state records. Errors include procedures on the wrong body part, burns by an operating room fire or a too-hot heating pack, or contaminated drugs or improperly sterilized equipment. Hospitals also reported more patient falls, serious bedsores, assaults, suicides and suicide attempts. Dr. Madeleine Biondolillo, associate commissioner at the department, tells The Boston Globe it’s unclear whether incident rates are going up simply because the state broadened the type of incidents hospitals are required to report. The department also adopted a computerized system to replace faxes, making it simpler to notify health officials. Hospital reports for 2014 should give regulators a better idea of whether errors are rising because no more major changes to the notification system are planned, Biondolillo said. “We are always concerned. One of anything is too many,” she said. Hospital executives are paying more attention to reducing hazards, and some are more openly discussing problems with patients and regulators, but they are simultaneously under growing pressure to care for more and sicker patients and to cut costs, said Dr. Allan Frankel, a former safety head at Partners Healthcare and now chief medical officer of Safe & Reliable Healthcare, a Colorado-based consulting company. “When you think about what the hospitals are dealing with, reducing adverse events is incredibly complicated,” he said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To The Editor The tragic death of the notable Robin Williams has prompted me to write about the diagnosis and treatment of substance abuse and depression. As a licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Alcohol and Drug Counselor, I help many patients with similar problems right here in Westfield. If you or a loved one has a problem with substance abuse or depression, you are not alone, and there are solutions. Here are four simple questions to ask yourself. Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking/ drugging? Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking/drugging? Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking/drugging? Have you ever had a drink/drug first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or get rid of a hangover (eyeopener)? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you owe it to yourself to check out your relationship to alcohol and drugs. This can be accomplished in two ways. The first is free and easy! Go to the Internet and punch in Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotic Anonymous meeting schedules. Go to the meeting with an open mind and see what you hear The second way to get a better handle on your use of substances is to contact a therapist. Most professionals will accept payment through your health insurance. You might want to consider looking for a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor. They have extensive training in dealing with the treatment of substance abuse. The media tells us that Robin Williams suffered from depression, as you can see it a serious illness. Some of the symptoms include: • you can’t sleep or you sleep too much • you can’t concentrate or find that previously easy tasks are now difficult • you feel hopeless and helpless • you can’t control your negative thoughts, no matter how much you try • you have lost your appetite or you can’t stop eating • you are much more irritable, short-tempered, or aggressive than usual • you’re consuming more alcohol than normal or engaging in other reckless behavior • you have thoughts that life is not worth living (seek help immediately if this is the case). Your best course of action if you are experiencing some of these symptoms is to contact your physician or to make an appointment with an experienced therapist. The good news is that these two issues can be treated. There is hope. Michael MacMunn Westfield
Obama’s ‘vacation from hell’ By Carrie Budoff Brown Politico.com President Barack Obama really wanted to take a vacation. But then the world intervened. The president’s plan to snag two weeks off in Martha’s Vineyard has been an utter failure, marking his worst attempt at relaxation since the Detroit underwear bomber consumed his 2009 Christmas holiday in Hawaii. On the eve of his departure late last week, Obama authorized airstrikes in Iraq to beat back Islamist militants from committing genocide. Then as he wrapped up his first round of golf on the Massachusetts island Saturday night, The Atlantic interview with Hillary Clinton hit the Web, sparking days of speculation about the fraying Clinton-Obama relationship. The White House thought it might get beyond the frenzy du jour on Wednesday night when it released much-anticipated details of their interaction at a birthday party — they toasted the guest of honor and even sat close to each other! But by midnight, as protests over a fatal police shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, spun out of control, a White House spokesman posted on Twitter that Obama had been briefed on the situation. And early Thursday afternoon, Obama was back in front of the cameras, delivering his fourth statement on chaotic world events since his vacation began. Obama “appears to be on the vacation from hell,” quipped CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin moments before Obama pleaded for peace and calm in Ferguson. Nobody really can feel sorry for the guy. He’s the leader of the free world. Stuff happens. Before he even left for Martha’s Vineyard, White House officials had announced that Obama would return to Washington on Sunday for two days of meetings, though they still won’t say what’s exactly important enough to interrupt his vacation. So it’s not as if he were getting a full two weeks off to begin with. But within the White House, these precious few breaks from Washington are highly valued, both by the president and his staff. After an unusually quiet Christmas vacation in Hawaii last year, aides marveled at how clear-headed and energized Obama seemed upon his return. The vacation was a mental lifesaver for the place, clearing the slate following a difficult
few months. This time, not so much. Reporters pressed White House spokesman Eric Schultz this week on whether the Martha’s Vineyard vacation actually felt like a vacation to the president. “I think it’s fair to say there are, of course, ongoing complicated situations in the world, and that’s why you’ve seen the president stay engaged,” Schultz said Wednesday. Schultz ran down a list of the work the president has done. He’s received multiple national security briefings. He’s talked with Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan, Ukrainian President Poroshenko, Canadian Prime Minister Harper and Italian Prime Minister Renzi on the chaos in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine and Gaza. Oh, and also on the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Obama had a reportedly testy phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The president also spoke with Clinton, who reached out to say that her pointed rebuke of his foreign policy in The Atlantic was not intended “to attack him, his policies or his leadership.” He attended a fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. “So I think, as many have observed over the past few days, there’s never a perfect time for the president to take some time away with his family,” Schultz said. “But I think we can also all agree that it’s valuable to recharge your batteries. And I just don’t think the American people begrudge their president for taking some downtime with his family.” It hasn’t been all bad. Obama got the chance to tout the administration’s success in helping Iraq’s Yazidi religious minority escape from Mount Sinjar, which had been surrounded by fighters from the Islamic State. And he is managing to squeeze in quite a bit of leisure time. He’s dined out with close friends. He’s hung out on the beach with his family. He’s played three rounds of golf. On Thursday, he went from the podium where he delivered the statement on Ferguson to the Vineyard Golf Club faster than a ball driven by a 3-wood. Obama departed the Edgartown School at 1 p.m. Four minutes later, he had arrived at the course.
Political junkie comes to fix ‘Meet the Press’ By Dylan Byers and Hadas Gold Politico.com Three weeks from Sunday, Chuck Todd, the political obsessive with a knack for polling data and a love of “the game,” will take the reins at NBC’s “Meet the Press” and try, against all odds, to prove a morning news show can still set the national agenda. Todd won’t need to prove anything to Washington. This town’s political-media establishment has already sanctified him: He is described by his colleagues and contemporaries as a whip-smart campaign junkie. They say that if anyone can restore passion and credibility to the once-dominant public affairs program, it’s him. “He is a virtual vacuum sweeper when it comes to political facts, figures and analysis,” said Gerald Seib, the Wall Street Journal’s Washington bureau chief. A national audience outside the Beltway, disenchanted with both politics and appointment viewing, will take more convincing. In fact, even Todd’s bosses needed to be persuaded. Deborah Turness, the president of NBC News, was lukewarm on him, sources at the network said. Disappointed by the program’s poor ratings under host David Gregory, she had entertained all manner of revisions: Moving the show to New York and handing it over to a more affable, nonpolitical personality like Savannah Guthrie, the co-host of the “Today” show; changing the show’s name; perhaps even canceling it and starting over. That Turness was considering such diverse and radical options right up until the end — while Gregory was left to twist in the wind, enduring an onslaught of criticism and negative press — shows just how uncertain she was about the appropriate solution. In the end, Turness decided to double-down on the formula that had made “Meet the Press” an institution: a Washington-based pure politics program moderated by a veteran political reporter. Under the late Tim Russert, who died in 2008, “Meet” had spent 15 years as the No. 1 Sunday public affairs program, and he and the show occupied a sacred space in American politics. On Thursday, Turness sent a memo to staff announcing that Gregory would leave NBC and that Todd would “take the helm” on Sept. 7. “There is no one with a bigger passion for politics than Chuck,” she wrote. “His unique ability to deliver that passion with razor sharp analysis and infectious enthusiasm makes him the perfect next generation moderator of this beloved broadcast. Chuck will ensure that Meet the Press is the beating heart of politics, the place where newsmakers come to make news, where the agenda is set.” Turness also promised the addition of “some exciting plans to
evolve and update the broadcast under Chuck’s leadership that we will be sharing with you shortly,” as well as “some new names that we will announce in the coming days.” In a tweet on Thursday night, Todd wrote that he was “honored and humbled to be in the company of great [Meet the Press] moderators,” including Russert, Tom Brokaw, who moderated the show briefly after Russert’s death, and Gregory. “All three taught me so much,” he wrote. Todd’s tweet was especially kind to Gregory; it was widely known within NBC that the two were not close. Neither Todd nor Turness responded to requests for interviews. However, it will take more than Turness’ touting of “razor sharp analysis and infectious enthusiasm” to win over a national audience. Todd is well known for his analytical skills, his grasp of data and historical knowledge, but rattling off stats about House districts is not the same skill set as grilling evasive high-ranking politicians and officials on the issues of the day. Viewers expect more than political trivia from Sunday morning shows — they want a program that goes beyond the recitation of familiar talking points, network execs believe. Americans already believe that the political press corps is too cozy with the politicians it covers. They are hungry for someone who can hold their guests’ feet to the fire, they say. Mark Leibovich, the author of “This Town,” a chronicle of Washington coziness, has said Russert’s success lay in his ability be “distinctive and combative.” “If you were a politician of serious ambition,” Leibovich wrote, “an invitation to his set was your rite of passage and your proving ground.” If Todd hopes to restore even a semblance of Russert-era gravitas, Leibovich said, he will need more than just passion and smarts. “Chuck’s obviously smart and ‘loves the game’ and all that. So did Russert. But Russert was also dangerous,” Leibovich said. “No Sunday host is remotely considered ‘dangerous’ these days, Chuck needs to make himself dangerous — dangerous, for starters, to the talking point whores who see Sunday invites as a ‘platform to get my message out.’” Critics have cited Todd’s training in print journalism, rather than broadcast, as a potential flaw: He’s not telegenic, not theatrical, not a performer or focus-group approved. That put him at a disadvantage after Russert’s death, when NBC instead opted for Gregory. “I never viewed myself as a correspondent, I didn’t even view myself as a TV guy,” Todd told TVNewser at the time. For the past six years, however, Todd has been a TV guy. He was appointed
chief White House correspondent in 2008, replacing Gregory, and since 2010 has hosted a daily MSNBC program called “The Daily Rundown.” It’s also important to remember that many had praised Gregory, a television journalist, as the more polished choice for “Meet the Press,” and yet he often came across as stale and unengaged and, in the end, flopped. Some of his defenders argued that he had simply been miscast. Nightly news broadcasts may be the place for well-groomed personalities like Gregory, Brian Williams and David Muir, they said, but the success of a Sunday show depended on the host’s passion for politics. With Gregory, it often felt like he was reading from a teleprompter, critics said. Todd is just the opposite. “Chuck’s a tireless reporter, insatiable political junkie and a good man,” said Jake Tapper, the CNN anchor and former ABC News White House correspondent. “He’s also genuine — what you see on TV is the same Chuck I see over a beer.” “Chuck’s authentic, and people respond to that,” said Carol Lee, See Meet the Press, Page 5

Bulger attorneys appeal conviction BOSTON (AP) — Former Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger is appealing the federal conviction that sent him to prison for life last year, arguing that he was unable to fully present his defense. Bulger, who’s 84, was convicted and sentenced on racketeering charges that tied him to 11 murders and other gangland crimes from the 1970s and ‘80s. In an appeal filed Thursday in the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Bulger’s lawyers Henry Brennan and James Budreau argue he was “deprived” of a critical defense in his trial: that a now-dead federal prosecutor had given him immunity from his crimes. Bulger had been an FBI informant against the rival New England Mafia, which his lawyers say allowed him to avoid prosecution for almost 25 years while his Winter Hill Gang consolidated power and built a criminal enterprise that took in millions of dollars through drugs, gambling, loansharking and other illegal activities. Bulger’s case ultimately became a black eye for the FBI and the basis for recent Hollywood movies after it was revealed that corrupt federal agents had accepted bribes and protected him over the years.

The Wall Street Journal White House correspondent. “He has an encyclopedic knowledge of politics — the history and the present. He not only knows all the players in Washington now but all the details about those who had their roles before them.” Todd, 42, began his career as a political reporter in 1992, and served as editor-in-chief of National Journal’s “Hotline” when it was a must-read for Washington’s politicos, infusing it with his own sensibility and vision. “This great bible of political knowledge, the Hotline, that’s what Chuck joined, and he took it in many great new innovative directions,” said Howard Mortman, a former editor and columnist at the Hotline who know serves as communications director for C-SPAN. “Chuck combined the passion of politics — both the horserace and the policy side — with the ability to translate that to the average person.” In 2007, Russert brought Todd to NBC News, where he served as political director. Since then, he has commanded considerable influence over the network’s Washington operations. In addition to serving as White House correspondent and hosting his MSNBC program, he and a team of journalists authored a daily newsletter called “First Read.” Todd also appeared frequently across NBC Universal programming, including NBC Nightly News and MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” (Todd will give up his White House duties and his MSNBC show to take over “Meet the Press.”) Perhaps no one will ever live up to Russert’s reputation, but many of Todd’s contemporaries are quick to make the comparison. “If you think about what Tim Russert brings to the table, Chuck brings many of those same things to the table,” said Seib, The Wall Street Journal bureau chief. “Talking to Chuck reminds you of talking to Tim, and that’s a big compliment in this town.”

Time to stir things up In this Aug. 31, 2013 photo, blackberries, like these growing wild on a farm near Langley, Wash., are especially popular for adding beautiful colors and enriching flavors to blended drinks.

Use garden harvest for fruit or green smoothies By DEAN FOSDICK Associated Press Smoothies are a nutritious way to stir things up in the kitchen, especially if the ingredients come from your garden. Few drinks are as refreshing as fresh or frozen fruits and syrups mixed with milk and yogurt. Many people also add greens. “Follow the harvest and work with whatever is ripening,” said Nan Chase, who with DeNeice Guest wrote the new “Drink the Harvest” (Storey Publishing). “We get into canning. The starting point is with the juices.” Smoothies are easy to make. All that’s required is a blender, some liquid (milk, juices or water), ice cubes (or ice cream), yogurt, fruits and greens. Strawberries, blueberries, peaches and blackberries are great smoothie ingredients because they have a long shelf life when preserved, Chase said. “We can use them any time of year,” she said. “Syrups are a big component of what you can do with the juices.” You gain a lot from a little when blending syrups into smoothies, Chase said. “We find that you get a significant amount of concentrated flavor and you don’t need an 8-ounce glass. Just a quarter cup can provide the necessary (daily) nutrient load for fruit.’ ‘ Some suggestions from Colorado State University Extension for enhancing the flavor and nutritional punch of smoothies: — Boost the amount of dietary fiber by leaving on the fruit skins (except bananas). — Nuts and seeds, along with nut and seed butters (like peanut butter), contribute protein, fiber, antioxidants, nutrients and heart-healthy unsaturated fats. — Try green smoothies for variety. You can use raw, leafy garden vegetables like kale, spinach, collard greens and Swiss chard. Avocados, parsley, fennel, broccoli, carrots, radishes or celery can be added to fruit smoothies for an enriched natural sweetness. — Go organic with your gardening and wash all produce thoroughly to help prevent food-borne illnesses. “Use whatever is in your herb garden,” Chase said. “Bay leaf and basil can infuse drinks (when boiled down) with a smoky flavor. They give drinks just a little depth without being overpowering.” If you don’t have a garden, try a farmer’s market for fresh ingredients, or do some foraging outdoors. “You can come home with a lot of different kinds of produce if you take a

Style tips for off-campus living By KIM COOK Associated Press For college kids who move off-campus, learning to accommodate the styles and needs of housemates is good practice for life after school. Take Erica Weidrick and Caitrin Curtis, upperclassmen at the University of North Carolina, who are moving into a new town house with a third friend. While they’d all been living together for a year already in a dorm, they wanted some organization and style help with this new arrangement. Here are some typical problem areas, with advice from two designers on how to solve them: FRONT DOOR DUMP “We all come in and just drop our stuff in a pile, and sometimes mail gets lost or keys disappear— usually when we’re late,” says Weidrick. Veronica Valencia, a Los Angeles-based designer and stylist, suggests setting up a bin for each housemate, and not allowing any overflow. “It’s true, we hit the front door and everything we’ve been hauling all day falls to the floor,” says Valencia, who blogs at DesignHunterLA.com. “If it doesn’t fit in the bin, you have to put it away immediately,” she says. “I love fabric bins or wood crates. If you have an entry table, consider fabric wrapped magazine boxes, one for each person.” Weidrick and Curtis also liked a wall shelf with hooks and small baskets for keys and mail. COMMON-AREA CLUTTER “The living room is a challenge because that’s where we spend most of our time, so it’s where most of our junk ends up.
It’s hard to keep a shared space organized when everyone is coming and going at different times,” Curtis says. What they need is stylish storage where the clutter can hide when company comes. Valencia’s fix: “Two words: storage ottomans!” Consider an ottoman in faux leather or suede, with a flip-top tray that can be used as a resting place for TV remotes, phones and snack dishes. Clutter can be scooped inside when the need arises, and, voila! The ottoman provides extra seating. M Elodie Froment, PB Teen’s vice president for product development, suggests using a pair of trunks. “They’re great because you can store extra blankets and other essentials.” Trunks come in a variety of finishes that can appeal to guys and girls. COMMON-AREA STYLE “We all want our shared space to be warm and relaxed, like our bedrooms,” says Curtis. “But the living room and kitchen are supposed to be social spots, and it’s nice to be able to change the atmosphere from ‘just chilling’ to ‘hosting a party.’” Valencia’s answer is to “think in terms of moveable and modular. Add floor pillows so your coffee table can accommodate a study group, and poufs for extra seating on movie night.” She suggests sharing Pinterest inspirations and finding styles and patterns that all the housemates can live with. Your own room’s where you’ll be able to put your personal stamp. For common areas, Froment says, “Pick a neutral color scheme for the larger furniture items, and add splashes of personality with decorative pillows, art and décor. If you’re not planning on painting your walls, identify one to decorate with

removable wall paper or decals.” If floors are bare, add a rugged nylon rug in a bold geometric or floral. If you can’t afford or agree on artwork, the rugs bring pattern to the floor and give rooms a finished feel that’s a little more grown-up. Weidrick and Curtis like ambient lighting that will turn down the stresses of school. Froment suggests a fun floor lamp, perhaps pairing it with a playful wall light. “Accent with string lights for a soft glow,” she says. BEDROOM SPACE In bedrooms, Valencia follows the “3H” rule of organizing: “hamper, hooks and a hanging closet organizer.”

Average U.S. 30-year mortgage rate slip to 4.12 percent this week WASHINGTON (AP) — Average longterm U.S. mortgage rates declined this week, approaching their lows for the year. Mortgage company Freddie Mac said Thursday the nationwide average for a 30-year loan slipped to 4.12 percent from 4.14 percent last week. The average for a 15-year mortgage, a popular choice for people who are refinancing, fell to 3.24 percent from 3.27 percent last week. Mortgage rates are below the levels of a year ago. They have fallen in recent weeks after climbing last summer when the Federal Reserve began talking about reducing the monthly bond purchases it was making to keep long-term borrowing rates low. Mortgage rates often follow the yield on the 10-year Treasury note. The 10-year note traded at 2.42 percent Wednesday, brushing its low for the year of 2.41 percent and down from 2.47 percent a week earlier. It fell to 2.38 percent in trading Thursday morning. At 4.12 percent, the rate on a 30-year mortgage is down from 4.53 percent at the start of
the year. Rates have fallen even though the Fed has been trimming its monthly bond purchases, which are intended to keep long-term borrowing rates low. The purchases are set to end in October. To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country between Monday and Wednesday each week. The average doesn’t include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount. The average fee for a 30-year mortgage was 0.6 point, down from 0.7 point last week. The fee for a 15-year mortgage was unchanged at 0.6 point. The average rate on a five-year adjustablerate mortgage edged down to 2.97 percent from 2.98 percent. The fee remained at 0.5 point. For a one-year ARM, the average rate rose to 2.36 percent from 2.35 percent. The fee was stable at 0.5 point.

It has views of Mt. Ascutney, 91. The current owner bought with trails, woods, and garden the 2,900-square-foot home spots “to sit and dream.” on 12 acres in the 1980s. The land once belonged to sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and a descendant of his built the house in 1939. The real estate posting says the house is “set in an enchanting garden of flowers and trees. Land on both sides of the road ensures privacy.”

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot. It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newpapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore. But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

said Lavaway. A letter was sent to PDS about the schedule and work picked up. “Since that letter was sent they have stepped up to the plate and done a lot to accelerate the schedule,” Lavaway said. Even after increasing productivity, there were still some items that were behind schedule for reasons beyond PDS’ control. PDS asked for additional time to complete those projects and Lavaway recommended extending the deadline from Aug. 15 to Aug. 20. “We did take a year off the schedule and it has been so compressed, it’s a miracle we’re making it work,” Lavaway said. “It makes sense to approve a change order for time, but no additional cost.” The change order was approved by the
committee and affects only the timeline at Woodland and Powder Mill. Fontaine Bros. is the contractor working at the middle/high school and they are set to end summer work on Aug. 20, too. Superintendent Dr. John Barry agreed with SBS’ recommendation. “I don’t think it puts the district at a disadvantage,” he said. Following heavy rains Wednesday, the Powder Mill building had some leaks, according to contractors, because of work being done on the roof. Barry said the power being out for two hours because a transformer exploded caused more concern than the water. Barry said yesterday that the rain and power outage would not change the deadline.

Animal Abuse Bill

The bill also would require veterinarians to report suspected animal abuse — similar to the requirement for medical staff who suspect child abuse. The legislation also would create a special task force of experts in law enforcement, animal protection, veterinary practice, and legal and industry professionals to review methods to prevent animal abuse and punish those who commit animal abuse. Southwick Animal Control Officer Tracy Root said that the bill is a “sign of the times.” “I think it’s awesome. It’s going to really help when it comes to people who bring animals in that the vet knows are abuse cases,” she said. “They (veterinarians) are going to have to let us know, and I think thats great because too many (animals) get slid under the rug.” Root said that many vets are afraid to stick their necks out for fear that it will impact their business. “If the state says they have to report it, it is like a police officer seeing child abuse – you have to report it,” she said. “It takes the weight off the vet as far as being a snitch, and puts it on the state.” “Animals are part of our families and we have to treat them and give them as many rights as possible. This just gives them more rights to be safe,” Root said. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals applauded Massachusetts lawmakers for passing the measure. “The deliberate and egregious acts of cruelty inflicted upon Puppy Doe were the stuff of nightmares, and a gross violation of the humane values of Massachusetts’ citizens,” said Bill Ketzer, senior state director of ASPCA Government Relations for the Northeast region. “We applaud every state lawmaker who stepped forward in the grave shadow cast by Puppy Doe, acting quickly to
Repairs The revised request of $466,620, submitted last night, was based upon an engineering assessment performed by Reinhardt Associates, the Agawam-based engineering and architectural consulting firm, of the cost of replicating the original windows with energy-efficient technology, removing the siding, repairing the brick, sliding front hangar door system, and roof which is currently leaking and hastening the deterioration of the structure. The cost of rehabbing the interior of the hangar is directly linked to the future use of the building. The options were discussed last night which spread across a spectrum of possibilities. The last option discussed is the most simple and perhaps least costly: to continue to use the facility as an aircraft hangar to generate revenue for the airport. Several speakers said there is a lack of adequate hangar space, not only at Barnes, but regionally, and that the demand for additional space is high. Another option is using the hangar for the Pioneer Valley Military and Transportation Museum to establish a lease for land at the municipal airport, which is seeking a location to display aircraft and vehicles.

demonstrate that animal cruelty must never be tolerated. We strongly urge Governor Patrick to sign this legislation into law to ensure the strongest possible protections for victims of cruelty, so no animal suffers the terrible fate of Puppy Doe.” “We’re very pleased that this crucial legislation has passed, and we extend our thanks to Representatives Louis Kafka and Bruce Ayers, and Senator Bruce Tarr who championed these reforms in the legislature,” said Kara Holmquist, director of advocacy for MSPCA-Angell. “We also thank every caring citizen who contacted state legislators to urge for stronger laws to punish animal abusers, and most importantly, to work to prevent cruelty from happening in the first place. Animal lovers around the state can today celebrate these efforts and hopefully find some peace knowing that from such tragic incidents, like Puppy Doe and others, awareness has been generated that will now prevent harm to other helpless animals.” The Animal Rescue League of Boston responded to the case of “Puppy Doe,” a tiny dog who was systematically and brutally tortured over several months. Her injuries were so severe that sadly, euthanasia was the only humane option. The gut-wrenching details of this case prompted a review of the Commonwealth’s animal cruelty laws and a renewed interest to increase penalties for cases involving torture, mutilation and other vicious and calculated acts of cruelty. Earlier this year, Gov. Patrick also signed animal protection bills into law to assist pets in disasters and ban the cruel practice of shark finning. The pets in disasters law requires local governments to include strategies in their emergency operations plans to support the needs of people with household pets or service animals in the event of a natural or man-made disaster.

BRIAN BARNES The museum group was seeking to lease the historic hangar built in 1939 by the Works Program Administration, but is also considering leasing land at another location at the airport. The third option is to use the hangar as a classroom for an aviation program being developed at the Westfield Vocational Technical High School. The Voc-Tech advisory committee members packed the room last night to discuss that option. Barnes is on the aviation advisory committee along with Dr. Donald Nicolette, who is also a member of the Airport Commission.
“As far as the city is concerned, it has not been determined who will be coming into that building,” Barnes said. “Restore the facility because Westfield has a deep and rich aviation history. We’re seeking to preserve the past and inspire the future.” Nicoletti said that aviation companies are “stealing technicians from each other because they can’t get enough help. This (aviation technology) program will be great for Westfield. It will improve its economic base.” The goal of the advisory groups is to have the hangar work completed by September of 2015 or January of 2016. Initially there will be one instructor and 20 students in the aviation technology program, but there are also plans to increase the number of instructors with that 1:20 ratio of students. That option will require an additional $1.9 million when the groups feel can be raised through funding from private aviation-related firms and government agencies, including the Department of Transportation and Department of Elementary and Secondary Education which is interest in making Westfield’s aviation program a model for
several other districts. The school district and museum are both submitting proposals to Mayor Daniel M. Knapik on Aug. 30 to allow city officials to determine the more beneficial of those two options. The board approved $470,000 for the project with four conditions. The rehabilitation work must comply with the standards for historic preservation set by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior; will be done under the oversight of the city’s Historic Commission; will require the Airport Commission to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the CPC that the hanger will be maintained and used for aviation-related purposes. The fourth condition is that Knapik submit a request for a three-year bond in that amount to the City Council for its review. That condition was requested by the CPC so it can spread the cost of financing the school project out over several years. The advisory group was requested to develop “hard numbers” for the building envelope rehabilitation and restoration work which would be used by the administration to make the bond request to the City Council.

THE WESTFIELD NEWSSPORTS World Series of Babe Ruth Baseball
The Babe Ruth Baseball 14-Year-Old All-Star teams gather for the World Series opening ceremonies in Ocala, Florida. (Submitted photo)
Let the games begin! By Chris Putz Staff Writer OCALA, Fla. — Welcome to the Big Show! The World Series of Babe Ruth Baseball is set to open for the Westfield 14-Year-Old All-Stars in Ocala, Florida. Westfield will participate in four games in pool play over a five-day stretch, beginning with Southeastern representative Lawrenceburg, Tenn. today. First pitch is at 7 p.m. Lawrenceburg is the reigning World Series runner-up from a season ago as 13-year-olds. The Southeastern champ rallied from a 3-2, fifth-inning deficit to defeat Key West (Fla.), 5-3, in this year’s regional title game.
Lawrenceburg also posted a 7-6 come-from-behind victory over Nash County (N.C. East) in the regional semifinals. The World Series ticket-punching ceremony was also filled with drama for Westfield. The 14-year-old All-Star players from Westfield won a 10-inning thriller against Trumbull (Conn.), 5-4, in the New England regionals at Bullens Field to win its champi-
onship. Mitchell Longley provided the heroics, smacking a groundball base hit through the infield with the bases loaded and the game tied to score Nate Bonini. Westfield walked away a winner. Westfield came within one win of a regionals final berth a year ago as 13s. This season, the Whip City All-Stars rallied to defeat rival Pittsfield in the state finals and won the eastern regionals without ace pitcher Dalen Mochak, who suffered a season-ending injury. “It’s going to be tough for anyone to match our pitching depth,” Westfield manager John Bonini said, following the eastern regionals championship victory, “and we
can hit with anybody in the country.” Westfield will battle four teams in five days. Following Friday’s opener, the Whip City All-Stars will take on Pacific Southwest champion Aiea, Hawaii (Aug. 16), Florida state champ Key West (Aug. 18), and Ohio Valley’s Southeast champ, Lexington, Kentucky (Aug. 19). The top three teams who emerge from the divisional pool play games will advance to a single-elimination tournament, alongside three other teams from the other division, until a champion is determined. The World Series championship will be played Friday, Aug. 22 at 1 p.m.
Westfield’s Mitchell Longley participates in the home run derby as part of the World Series festivities yeterday. Longley finished third in the event. Teammates Dalen Mochak, Adam Kearing, Aidan Dunn, Zach Medeiros, Steve McKenna, and J.D. Daley finished third overall in the golden arm competition. (Submitted photo)

T i p s fo r a G re at F i rst D ay Ba c k to S c h o o l ! How your kids win with breakfast There are various habits that contribute to a healthy lifestyle. But one healthy habit in particular, the routine of having a nutritious breakfast every morning, is one that can positively impact your family. A nutritious breakfast is important to fuel your body and brain after an overnight fast, and provide the nutrition you need to start the day. For parents who want their children to be their best, good nutrition at breakfast can make all the difference. In fact a good breakfast is just as important as having sharp pencils and the right gym shoes.
Tips to start the day right To help your kids get the right start to the school day, follow these nutrition and wellness tips: Be a Healthy Role Model Kids emulate everything their parents do, including eating habits when mealtime rolls around. Show your kids that making smart, healthy choices is something that is important and vital to you. When they see you choosing vegetables and fruits over junk food, they will want to follow in your footsteps. Stock Up on Simple Options Do you ever have those hectic mornings when you’re trying to get everyone out the door? Easy-to-make breakfast options are great to have on hand. Mix Up Lunches A lunch consisting of a sandwich, cheese stick and apple can be boring after just a few days. Turn last night’s leftovers into a delicious
lunchtime meal. For example, grilled chicken can be turned into a wrap, or taco meat can be a perfect topping for salad or rice. This type of repurposing can save busy parents time and money throughout the school year. Get a Good Night’s Sleep A great day in the classroom starts with a restful night of quality, restorative sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation, kids between ages 3-5 should get between 11-13 hours, while kids between ages 5-12 should get 10-11 hours
of sleep. Create a good environment for sleep, which consists of a quiet, dark and cool room that is free of distractions, such as televisions, computers and smartphones. Make Breakfast Fun Keep the options for this important morning meal exciting for your kids by mixing in their favorite flavors. Smoothies are a kid favorite. So help your children be their very best by incorporating these tips into your family routine.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Is there any way to do this? Dear Annie: I’m 50 years old and have two adult children. Their mother and I divorced 15 years ago. Throughout our marriage, my wife had many affairs. She’s married twice since we split up. Five years ago, my son married a woman who has become close to my ex. My daughter-in-law has labeled me a mental case to many family members, friends and acquaintances. I can count on one hand the number of times I have seen my son in the past five years, and each time, he was extremely disrespectful and said horrible things to me. They now have a 2-year-old son, whom I have seen only briefly on three occasions even though they live nearby. I believe my ex-wife has had a great influence in turning my son into a cold, ruthless person. I’m financially well off and recently updated my will to leave my son only $20 because of all the pain and anguish he has caused me. I prefer to distance myself from him, but I would like to have a relationship with my grandson. Is there any way to do this? -- Proud Grandpa Dear Grandpa: Not without also having some type of relationship with your son. After all, he isn’t preventing you from seeing the boy. Some states are sympathetic to grandparents’ rights, but your son might be able to convince the judge that his distancing is in his son’s best interest, and you could be cut out entirely. It’s risky, and we don’t recommend it for you. We have no doubt that your ex-wife has influenced her son and his wife. But if you want a relationship with your grandson, you need to tolerate his parents and be civil to them. Perhaps in time they will see how much their child loves you and will warm up. We hope so. Dear Annie: I married my wife in 1957. We were compatible in every way and very much in love. We have four children, eight grandkids and 11 great-grandkids. Since the day I met her, whenever I held her or kissed her, she was always my 16-yearold sweetheart. She is still the gal I fell in love with. About five years ago, my wife lost interest in lovemaking and will not talk about why. I’m sure she isn’t cheating. She is 73, and I am 79. After 55 years together, I have finally noticed that she has aged. She just laughs when I say that I wish she would still act like my 16-year-old gal when I hold her and kiss her. I truly miss her touch and sweet words. She tells me she loves me, but it doesn’t feel like it. The thing I want to get across is to always treat your partner like you did the first day you met him or her. It’s the best way of getting to your 57th anniversary. I promised to love her until the day I die, and I will keep that promise until we are head-tohead in our mausoleum 5th-floor penthouse. -- The Old Fool Dear Fool: We sympathize, but we are also astounded at how many men truly do not understand what happens to a woman’s libido at menopause and beyond. Your wife’s lack of interest in lovemaking has nothing to do with how much she cares for you. She would probably love being your 16-year-old sweetheart, but her current hormonal state doesn’t permit it. It’s a physical change. There are treatments, but they don’t work for everyone. Talk to your wife. Say that her physical touch -- not sex -would mean the world to you, and ask whether she would be a bit more affectionate. Dear Annie: Thank you for printing the letter from “Disgusted in New York,” whose 85-year-old aunt wasn’t bathed in the hospital. I have been a nurse for many years. We never give baths in bathtubs to patients. We “bathe” them in bed -- what my mother would have called a sponge bath. Also, it is possible to shower people who can handle a shower chair. However, this lady seemed to have an odor, thus none of the proper things was done for her well-being and comfort. -- A.S. RN
HINTS FROM HELOISE INSIDE OUT Dear Heloise: Growing up in a big family, we all were expected to pitch in and do our share of household chores, including making our own beds. Pillows can be unwieldy for a child’s hands, so our mom taught us to peel off the pillowcases inside out. That makes it easier to put them back on the pillows as well. Simply insert your arms into the inside-out pillowcase, grab the pillow through the case and then flip it around to cover it in one shot. I’m an old grandma now, and I still use this quick-andeasy technique! It’s great for those big, bulky body pillows, too. -- Larisa R. in Florida LAUNDRY BASKET Dear Heloise: I use plastic baskets for my family’s laundry. I hate to think of all the things that might still be on the basket from the dirty clothes when the clean clothes come out of the dryer. I keep a container of sanitizing wipes and a clean, dry sponge by the washer. I just wrap the wipe around the sponge (this makes it easier to clean the part of the basket with holes) and give the basket a quick once-over. -- Dan H. in Texas CLOGGED NOZZLE Dear Heloise: Ever try to use your hair spray only to find the hole stopped up? Can’t find a pin to unclog it? Just run the nozzle under a hot-water tap for a couple of seconds, and it will spray like new! -- Barbara in Maryland

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Aug. 15, 2014: This year you are more creative and full of ideas than you usually are. You are in the first year of a new life cycle. Know what you want and go for it. If you are single and ready to settle down, you are likely to meet Mr. or Ms. Right. Look carefully at potential suitors to see if they can offer you the type of relationship you want. If you are attached, the two of you will want to add to your life together. Look at one of your mutual long-term goals. Some of you will buy a new house, whereas others might welcome a new addition. There could be many other options as well. TAURUS likes the good life, too. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Use the morning for handling any important matters. By the afternoon, you might want to take off for a fun summer weekend or at least a gettogether. Be careful, as you could enjoy yourself at the cost of making a loved one or admirer jealous. Tonight: Party on! TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might decide to head in a direction that is different from a dear friend. This person could be difficult right now, and you might wonder what to do. Just give him or her some space. You will tend to go overboard in your conversations. Tonight: Find your friends. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might want to move past a problem, and you will -- especially if this matter is handled in the morning. Later on, you could feel as if someone is pushing you too hard. Make it OK for you to play the role of the recluse. Tonight: Not to be found. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might feel as if you have no other choice but to complete what someone else seems to have left unfinished. Once you have done what is necessary, give up being so responsible and get into the weekend spirit. Tonight: Where the crowds are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH If you can take off from your routine, do. You might opt to go on a drive to your favorite getaway. Communication seems to flourish, and you’ll need to explain where you are coming from financially to a roommate or loved one. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You understand much more than you let on. Your detached demeanor could emerge, and you could choose to discuss your perspective. Someone will let you know how much he or she appreciates your feedback. You might want to respond appropriately. Tonight: Opt for an escape. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Others might not be aware that they are testing your limits. Be willing to listen. You will discuss the issue, but if someone pushes you too far, you are likely to explode. Try to hold back, because words said are impossible to take back. Tonight: Respond to a loved one. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Get as much done as possible in the morning. Later in the day, others are likely to seek you out. Take a look at your long-term goals and decide what to do. A meeting could be more important than you realize. You might find solutions. Tonight: Let someone else dominate. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to reach out to someone, but you must handle certain tasks first. You could feel concerned about an authority figure. Start a conversation and see what is on this person’s mind. You could find it difficult to relax. Tonight: TGIF! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might be slow to get started. Once you get going, others will pick up on your energy. As friends seek you out and invite you to various happenings, you will consider how you can get everything done that is needed. Tonight: Unleash your playfulness. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Get on the phone quickly and return calls. Move up meetings to the morning if possible. You will want some thinking time before you leave for the
Cryptoquip
Crosswords
weekend. Remember that you are coming to the end of the summer season. Use the coming weekend well. Tonight: Just relax. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Reach out to a friend, but refuse to get hung up on various details. An offer could be made that feels too good to say “no” to. Don’t push a relative or neighbor too far, as this person could be a little more ornery than you might realize. Tonight: Hang with friends at a favorite spot.

It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore.
25
But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.
