Noble wing
By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer BOSTON — Supporters of legislation that would allow terminally ill, mentally competent adults the right to self-administer lifeending drugs made their case at the State House earlier this week. Advocates delivered almost 7,000 petitions signed by Massachusetts citizens who favor the legislation to lawmakers Wednesday. The legislation would require the terminally ill to fill out a form stating they understand that the drugs they are requesting from their doctors are intended to result in death. Under the bill, the terminally ill person must be competent and acting voluntarily — and the request must be witnessed by at least two other individuals. Marie Manis of Compassion and Choices helped organize the effort. Compassion & Choices is a nonprofit organization in the United States working to See Assisted Suicide, Page 3

Westfield 8th-graders to attend WSU WESTFIELD – Westfield State University will welcome the eighth grade students from North and South Middle School for its fifth annual College 101 program. The two middle schools will collaborate with members of the university’s Special Events/Advancement and University Relations internship program as they explore the campus and the possibilities of higher education.
Created in 2010, the College 101 program is aimed to allow the average 14-year-old student the opportunity to see college from an ageappropriate point of view. The visiting middle school students will have the opportunity to ask their tour leaders questions about the typical college experience. College 101 is designed for the eighth graders to experience a day in the life of a college stu-
dent. The students will learn about clubs on campus and opportunities outside of the classroom as well. Westfield State faculty, staff, and interns will take groups of students around the campus for an academic tour, visit a residence hall room, and have lunch in the dining commons. Students will participate in a science lab, See Attending WSU, Page 3
Montgomery man charged with embezzling $1M WEST SPRINGFIELD (AP) — The former bookkeeper for a West Springfield business has been indicted for allegedly embezzling more than $1 million from the company. The state attorney general’s office says 50-year-old Jeffrey Cinelli, of Montgomery, was indicted Thursday on five counts of larceny of more than $250, and four counts of making a false entry into corporate books. He is scheduled to be arraigned March 14. Prosecutors allege that between January 2006 and May 2009 Cinelli diverted money from Massachusetts Fire Technologies Inc. accounts to pay personal credit card debt, and then altered company books to hide his tracks. Massachusetts Fire Technologies specializes in the sale and service of fire extinguishers and suppression systems. Company founder David Wolcott said he considered Cinelli a friend. Cinelli could not be reached.

By ALLEN G. BREED AP National Writer Hate potholes? Well, unless you and your elected officials are ready to cough up billions more for better roads and proper preventive maintenance, buckle up, ’cause it’s going to be a bumpy ride. “What people have to understand is you can’t have a pothole without first having a crack in the pavement surface,” says engineer Larry Galehouse, director of the National Center for Pavement Preservation, a quasigovernment entity affiliated with Michigan State University. “Agencies have been cashstrapped for a number of years, and now it’s all coming home to roost.” See Potholes, Page 3

Westfield State collaborates with Westfield Voc-Tech for ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ WESTFIELD — When Westfield State University’s production of the musical “Fiddler on the Roof” opens in April, it will showcase Westfield State’s second successful collaboration with Westfield Vocational-Technical High School. The collaboration between Westfield State and Voc-Tech provides opportunities for students at Voc-Tech to be involved with the arts, and provides resources for Westfield State’s music department. Ernie Iannaccone, technical director for Dever Stage and producer of “Fiddler on the Roof,” stated that the Voc-Tech students who are working on the set of “Fiddler on the Roof” are excited by the project, since it is different from their usual construction projects. Students involved in other trades at Voc-Tech are also assisting in this production. The Graphic Arts students will provide graphics for the t-shirts and will paint the set, and Culinary Arts students will supply the desserts for this year’s pre-performance buffet. All students involved with the production will receive complementary tickets to the performance. The set was built and painted by students from Voc-Tech. The current collaboration is headed by Ernie Iannaccone,
as well as Stefan Czaporowski, the principal of Voc-Tech and Brian Falcetti, a Construction Trades instructor at VocTech. Falcetti stated that the skills developed and reinforced during the collaboration between Westfield State and Voc-Tech range from blueprint reading to critical thinking skills. Facletti remarked, “The competencies developed and reinforced include Blueprint Reading, Stock estimating and management, measuring, cutting, and assembly. Students had to make parts look rustic, which is different from their normal construction work, which is square, level, and equal.” The recent collaborations between Westfield State and Voc-Tech offer VocTech students exposure to and involvement in the arts. “Our students have a very full schedule learning their craft in the shop they choose and fulfilling the requirements of four years of high school. This does not leave much time for the arts. Due to scheduling and funding, there are no opportunities for students to take part in creative activities such as band, chorus, or theatre,” Falcetti explained, “I think the students like to see how close they
can build the set plan and express some creativity.” Nick Kane, a Voc-Tech student that helped build the set of “Fiddler on the Roof,” said that the collaboration between his school and Westfield State was not only enjoyable, but educational, and that he hopes the schools will work together again on a future project. Kane explained, “Collaborating with Westfield State for “Fiddler on the Roof” is fun and helps build good communication skills. Working with Westfield State also helps build connections with people outside of Voc-Tech, which will help once I have graduated from high school.” The collaboration between Westfield State and Voc-Tech began when Westfield State performed “Cabaret.” Iannaccone met with the principal of Voc-Tech and was given a tour of the school, and realized that Voc-Tech was a great resource. “When it came time to build the set for ‘Cabaret,’ I realized that I would need help since Dever does not have a scene shop, and I asked Mr. Czaporowski for assistance, and he put me in touch with Mr. Falcetti, the faculty member who runs the construction trades program.

Doughnut shop in Mass. YMCA won’t sell doughnuts
Last night’s numbers
QUINCY, Mass. (AP) — A doughnut shop chain won’t be selling doughnuts at a new Massachusetts location. Quincy’s licensing board this week approved a plan for Honey Dew Donuts to open a shop inside the city’s new $30 million YMCA. A spokeswoman for the Y tells The Patriot Ledger (http://bit.ly/1ftynt9 ) that because of the organization’s emphasis on physical fitness, no doughnuts will be sold. The shop will sell coffee, low-fat muffins, salads, sandwiches, yogurt, fruit cups and smoothies. All menu items must be approved by the Y. According to Honey Dew’s website, its low-fat muffins contain more calories and sugar than many of its doughnuts.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Friday, Feb. 28, the 59th day of 2014. There are 306 days left in the year.
O
n Feb. 28, 2013, Benedict XVI became the first pope in 600 years to resign, ending an eight-year pontificate shaped by struggles to move the Catholic Church past sex abuse scandals and to reawaken Christianity in an indifferent world. (Benedict was succeeded the following month by Pope Francis.)
On this date: In 1844, a 12-inch gun aboard the USS Princeton exploded as the ship was sailing on the Potomac River, killing Secretary of State Abel P. Upshur, Navy Secretary Thomas W. Gilmer and several others. In 1861, the Territory of Colorado was organized. In 1911, President William Howard Taft nominated William H. Lewis to be the first black Assistant Attorney General of the United States. In 1942, the heavy cruiser USS Houston and the Australian light cruiser HMAS Perth were attacked by Japanese forces during the World War II Battle of Sunda Strait; both were sunk shortly after midnight. In 1953, scientists James D. Watson and Francis H.C. Crick announced they had discovered the double-helix structure of DNA. In 1960, a day after defeating the Soviets at the Winter Games in Squaw Valley, Calif., the United States won its first Olympic hockey gold medal by defeating Czechoslovakia’s team, 9-4. In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai issued the Shanghai Communique, which called for normalizing relations between their countries, at the conclusion of Nixon’s historic visit to China.
In 1974, the United States and Egypt re-established diplomatic relations after a seven-year break. In 1986, Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme (PAHL’meh) was shot to death in central Stockholm. (The killing remains unsolved.) In 1988, the 15th Olympic Winter Games held its closing ceremony in Calgary, Canada. In 1993, a gun battle erupted at a religious compound near Waco, Texas, when Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents tried to arrest Branch Davidian leader David Koresh on weapons charges; four agents and six Davidians were killed as a 51-day standoff began. In 1994, Lorena Bobbitt was released from a state mental hospital in Virginia, five weeks after being acquitted by reason of insanity of sexually mutilating her husband, John.
Ten years ago: Iraq’s U.S.-picked leaders failed to meet a deadline for adopting an interim constitution. Six-nation talks on ending North Korea’s nuclear weapons program ended in Beijing with an agreement to hold more negotiations. The Bow Mariner, a tanker carrying ethanol, exploded and sank off the Virginia coast; 21 crew members died while six men survived. Former Librarian of Congress Daniel J. Boorstin died in Washington, D.C. at age 89.
Five years ago: Paul Harvey, the news commentator and talk-radio pioneer whose staccato style made him one of the nation’s most familiar voices, died in Phoenix at age 90. Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper, free-agent NFL defensive lineman Corey Smith and former South Florida player William Bleakley died when their boat overturned in rough seas off the coast of Florida.
One year ago: President Barack Obama urged the Supreme Court to overturn California’s same-sex marriage ban and turn a skeptical eye on similar prohibitions across the country. Bradley Manning, the Army private arrested in the biggest leak of classified information in U.S. history, pleaded guilty at Fort Meade, Md., to 10 charges involving illegal possession or distribution of classified material. (Manning, who has since adopted the female identity Chelsea Manning, was sentenced to up to 35 years in prison after being convicted of additional charges in a court-martial.) In Seffner, Fla., a sinkhole opened up under a man’s bedroom and swallowed him up without a trace; Jeff Bush is presumed dead.

Potholes Continued from Page 1 And despite all the advances in patching materials and equipment in recent years, engineers say that until someone ponies up, it’s going to remain a case of patch as patch can. “If you’ve got a pavement in poor condition that’s got a lot of alligator cracking … where water is getting into the pavement and freezing and thawing, it’s going to break up the structure,” says Kevin J. Haas, a traffic investigations engineer with the Oregon Department of Transportation in Salem. “It’s just the law of sciences and physics and thermodynamics and whatever other laws you want to throw in there.” This winter, the law is coming down hard on Americans. In New York City, road crews have patched a record 136,476 potholes since Jan. 1. The Department of Transportation had filled just under 57,000 by this same time in 2013. New Englanders, famous for their meteorological stoicism, are reeling from what Boston Public Works Commissioner Mike Dennehy calls a “pothole eruption.” “We filled our 6,000th pothole this morning since Jan. 1,” Dennehy said Tuesday. Last year’s comparable figure was about 1,600. The pace was even too much for the city’s vaunted “Potzilla” — a massive truck that keeps the fill material hot en route to worksites. An electrical failure last weekend caused the heating core and hydraulic augers to quit, forcing workers to shovel up to 2 tons of dried asphalt from the machine’s bowels before the beast could hit the roads again, Dennehy says. In Philadelphia, they’re not even attempting to keep count. “We’re just trying to keep up as best we can,” says Gene Blaum, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
Since Dec. 1, PennDOT workers have applied more than 2,000 tons of patching material in the five counties around the City of Brotherly Love, says Blaum. “It’s been a relentless winter season,” he says. “It’s the recipe for potholes,” agrees Dennehy. “It’s just freeze-thaw-moisture, freeze-thaw-moisture, freezethaw-moisture.” The Federal Highway Administration defines a pothole as “Localized distress in an asphalt-surfaced pavement resulting from the breakup of the asphalt surface and possibly the asphalt base course.” Climate and traffic combine to remove pieces of asphalt, leaving potholes — and localized distress for drivers. Normally, major pothole trouble comes in late February or early March. But this season’s “polar vortex” meant cities from the upper Midwest to the Deep South have been repeatedly pummeled by ice and snow since January — and produced an early crater crop. Still, that wouldn’t be as big a problem had the nation invested more up front, Galehouse and others say. In its report card on the nation’s infrastructure last year, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave America’s roads a D. In a recent post on the group’s blog, contributor Becky Moylan quipped that “pothole-dodging could be an Olympic sport.” But it’s no laughing matter. ASCE estimates it would take an investment of $3.6 trillion by 2020 to ensure the safety of highways, bridges, the power grid and other public resources. American motorists are already paying the price: TRIP, a nonprofit organization that researches surface transportation issues, released a report last year estimating that “unacceptably rough” roads cost the average urban
driver $377 a year in repairs — or a total of $80 billion nationwide. Is anyone doing roads right? In an interview with the Guardian newspaper about the state of Great Britain’s roads, David Weeks, director of that nation’s Asphalt Industry Alliance, even gave props to the ancient rival across the Channel. “This sort of thing doesn’t happen in Scandinavia or France, where they mend the roads properly,” he said. Mats Wendel of the Swedish Transport Administration thinks America could learn something from his country, which he believes has stricter rules on asphalt composition and road construction than the U.S. to account for the wet and cold. He says additives such as cement and lime are compulsory in the top layer of asphalt on Swedish roads, and that there are even stricter limits on air bubbles within the asphalt. “We take the frost in the ground into consideration when we construct our roads, and they don’t really do that in the U.S.,” he says. But he says Sweden has also borrowed a page from road builders in Arizona and California, who use rubber in the mix to avoid cracks. “Some U.S. states use it to a great extent,” Wendel says. “But not on the East Coast.” In fairness, Thomas Bennert, a research professor at Rutgers University’s Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation, says it’s hard to compare Stockholm with New York. “You can go to parts of Scandinavia where I’m sure they don’t have to really do anything, because the roads are not really traveled as heavily,” he says. “You do need that pounding of the traffic to really hit it.” Regardless of what they’re doing elsewhere, what really

matters is what’s happening right here at home, says Galehouse. He says Americans pay about $21 a month on average in state and federal road taxes — a fraction of what they pay for cable television or a cell phone. “And yet what is one of our most expensive investments out there?” he says. “It’s our automobile. And we’re wrecking our automobiles because we’re hitting potholes … The key is not fixing them. The key is preventing them.” But the patching goes on. Boston has “Potzilla.” Others are investing in socalled “pothole killer” machines, says Haas. “A person right from the cab of the vehicle can blow highly compressed air to get all the water and debris out of a pothole,” he marvels. “It unloads its asphalt and aggregate mixture down into there, and then it compacts it — all in one breath. And it just moves on to the next pothole.” Still, much work being done this hectic season has been what those in the industry call “throw-and-roll” — slap some “cold mix” of stone and liquid asphalt into the hole, roll over it with the truck, and move on. Researchers at Nottingham Trent University and the University of Nottingham in England found that applying a coat of bitumen emulsion between two layers of asphalt “greatly improved its resistance to further cracks.” They also confirmed that a hot mix repair — in which the asphalt was heated to 284 degrees or higher — was the best option for fixing holes 1 inch and deeper. If “a few simple and costeffective measures are applied with each repair then there may be less need for as many repeat repairs,” and savings could be in the millions annually, Mujib Rahman, one of the study’s co-authors, said in a university release last February. All of this is cold comfort for American drivers. Robert Sinclair, a spokesman for the American Automobile Association in New York, says his branch received more than 13,000 calls for flat tires in January, a 25 percent increase over last year. “Just about all flat tire calls are potholes,” he says. Manhattan’s streets are such a minefield that rolling over a hole is often the lesser of two evils, says New York cabbie Ishtiaq Mealow. “They’re deep and everywhere,” says the 20-year-old driver, whose cab suffered a blowout Tuesday. “But sometimes in New York City, you can’t avoid them. There’s too much traffic coming … You just got to take a risk.” Associated Press Writers Malin Rising in Stockholm, and Deepti Hajela and Amanda Barrett in New York City also contributed to this story.

Assisted Suicide Continued from Page 1 improve patients’ rights and choices at the end of life. Its primary, though not sole function, is advocating for and ensuring access to end-of-life options. Manis said a group of about 40 people visited the offices of members of the Public Health Committee Wednesday to encourage undecided senators to vote in favor of the legislation. In 2012, a ballot question that would also have allowed patients to self-administer life-ending drugs prescribed by physicians was narrowly defeated. Opponents outspent supporters on an advertising campaign urging voters to reject the proposal, said Manis. A new piece of legislation is being considered once again. “There was 68 percent support in polls into October of 2012,” Manis said of the first death with dignity bill. She said a negative ad campaign from opponents scared people and it was defeated by 50,000 votes. Manis said the group was received favorably a the State House this week. One member of the committee they did not meet with was Sen. Donald F. Humason (R-Westfield) who was not available that day. Humason is new to the committee and said this week he would be happy to talk with supporters of the legislation but he would vote against it. “I’m uncomfortable with the thought of a state agent, AKA doctors, assisting people in taking their own lives,” Humason said. “Too many things could go wrong.” Humason said he understands why a terminally ill person would consider the option if offered, but he would not support it. “Doctors take the hypocratic oath to do no harm,” he said. “I don’t like the idea of asking a doctor who preserves life, to take it away.”

Ha, ha, ha, the funniest joke I ever saw this morning. They were filling the holes on E Silver St. Yeah, they filled like, uhm, one out of five hundred and then they move on down the road. Uhm. Like. Filling the patch holes. And they didn’t even, uhm, they filled it with loose stuff; didn’t tamp it down or anything. I went to Southampton the other day and you should seen the wonderful job they were doing patching almost all the holes. They filled it, they must’ve filled it and then they had this thing where stones came out and it went over it and they tamped it all down. It was level with the road, and it was almost like driving over a road with no patches in it. I commend them. Uhm, they need some new people in Westfield to fix the roads, that’s for sure. Hi, yes, I called about the potholes just in the last post. Uhm, the potholes that they weren’t filling, it’s not like they were minuscule, some of them look like to be about three inches deep, so they just pick and choose what they wanted to do. We need a new director of public works to make sure things are getting done the right way. How come they’re not using the tar machine to fill the potholes? Or doesn’t anyone know how to use it? How is it when they’re patching the holes they do a halfassed job and they have to go back over ’em? Why don’t they take the time to clean out the holes, prepare ’em, put the patch in, and at least pack them down? I just passed the truck on W Silver St and they’re just throwing the cold patch down and not doing anything else. It makes zero sense to me. Just a concerned citizen who pays his taxes. Hi, I just read the Westfield News Wednesday evening, the PulseLine, and this is to the genius who wrote in about the mayor and the signs. Enough already. Number one: the signs were missing one day prior to voting. Well, if I or anybody else needs a sign to tell me who to vote for then we shouldn’t be voting, should we? Number two: if everyone you talked to did not vote for our mayor, how in the world did he get elected? Well, I did vote for him and I am proud of it. The Knapik family has done nothing but good for our city and our state. And, last of all, regarding his not talking to the public after his hearing: did you ever think that he might have been advised not to say anything? I think that’s some good advice that we could all listen to. Have a good day. Yes, uhm, last Saturday, the 22nd of February, I took a fall outside the nursing home over by Noble St, and I’d fallen on the ice and people just drove by as I tried to flag them down because I couldn’t get up. But a nice couple in a blue or light blue or grey van stopped and helped. Now they were elderly. The woman helped me get up, made sure I was able to call the police and get help. And I just—I don’t remember their name and I just wanted to thank them and let them know that if there was more people like them in the world—even better yet, in Westfield—it would be a much better town to live in. they’re just wonderful. And also, I would also like to thank the police officer who took his time to make sure that I got my groceries in my house before I went in the ambulance to go to the hospital. I want to thank the fire department, the police department and also that couple. Thank you very much, and my name is Barbara Coleman. Thank you. As a parent of a Westfield High School student I can not express strongly enough how disappointed I am in Principal Carter. Two days ago I got a robo-call from him saying that report cards were incorrect and would not be issued until the next day. Then yesterday Principal Carter calls again to say the report cards are still incorrect and spent 5 minutes trying to blame the screw up on everyone else on planet Earth. I WOULD NOT ACCEPT THAT AS AN EXCUSE FROM A CHILD. COMING FROM A PRINCIPAL IT’S PATHETIC. Why is it my kid can get his homework done, but his Principal can not? Why!?!? I called the school for my kids grades, they sent me an email with login info for a website to access my kids grades…IT DOESN’T WORK! THE EMAIL WON’T OPEN! So you can’t print report cards??? A task I imagine any Kinko’s could’ve accomplished in 10 minutes. You can’t even take responsibility for your own failures?? Blaming other people for your own failures is weak Principal Carter, really weak! If you can not fulfill basic duties as Principal you should be replaced. Your inability to take responsibility shows you to be far more immature than the children in your keep. You sir are an embarrassment! Please contact the Superintendent of schools and make sure she is aware of your concerns.

COMMENT
Wall Street threatens GOP on bank tax By Jake Sherman, Anna Palmer, and Lauren French Politico.com Wall Street is warning Washington Republicans: The money spigot is turning off. Rep. Dave Camp’s tax proposal — which jacked up taxes on banks and threatens the bottom line of some major private equity players in New York — has infuriated donors in high finance. Private equity and investment firms in New York are telling key Republican players in D.C. that commitments for bigdollar fundraising have been “canceled for the foreseeable future,” according to one GOP lobbyist with knowledge of the conversations. Lobbyists for Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan and others are meeting privately with lawmakers to explain what the bank tax would cost and how it would function. Big banks want to turn Republicans against the bank tax. The situation puts the party at risk of seeing a reliable source of campaign cash dry up right in the middle of a critical election year. The tax proposal itself is not even expected to get a vote in the House, since it’s so unpopular among most Republicans. That Wall Street would react so ferociously to a dead-end bill is a reminder of how hard a powerful player is willing to fight to protect its interests in Washington. Multiple GOP lawmakers and financial services lobbyists described the Wall Street backlash to POLITICO. Without Wall Street, Republicans risk their coffers emptying. The securities and investment industry is the largest contributor — besides candidate committees — to the National Republican Congressional Committee this cycle, directing $3.5 million to the party committee, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. In the 2012 election cycle, the financial services industry ponied up nearly $9.9 million. And right now is when the NRCC is trying to lap up every dollar it can to expand its majority in the House. Donors could shift their attention to the Senate, where the GOP has a fighting chance of taking back the majority. Or, worse, stop giving to the party all together. Some House Republicans are already trying to calm the waters. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) told lobbyists at a lunch in D.C. Thursday that Camp’s bill was merely a “draft.” One lobbyist in attendance got the impression Cantor thought the plan was going nowhere. Rory Cooper, Cantor’s spokesman, said he didn’t say this “directly or indirectly.” Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said that since the legislation isn’t going to be voted on — lawmakers can use it as a talking point. “It allows you to tell your energy people ‘Look, I’m on your side,’” Cole said. “It lets you distance yourself from parts that are unpopular.” Even before the draft was released, leadership was trying to make the case that this was only the beginning of a long discussion on tax policy. Boehner’s chief of staff Mike Sommers and policy director David Stewart huddled with roughly 50 lobbyists in Naples, Fla., earlier this month after the NRCC retreat.
Camp’s tax package was causing a lot of consternation. People attending the meeting walked away with the impression that the bill, which many were nervous about, would not see any floor time. Other Republicans are trying to isolate Camp, saying it’s his draft, and doesn’t represent the view of the party, writ large. Key Republicans involved in fundraising — like Texas Rep. Roger Williams — are trying to minimize the damage with donors. “I’m telling my guys — look, we gotta win on Nov. 14 so don’t get way out there, OK? This is a work in process,” Williams said in an interview. “I would just say to those that are frustrated, and I’ve heard it too, it’s a work in process is all it is. It’s not a final draft. It’s some ideas.” Camp’s tenure with the Ways and Means gavel is nearly up. Republican money men said that the Michigan Republican didn’t have much to lose — but his bill could have a lasting impact on the party’s relationship with the energy and finance sectors. The frustration is partially due to the future impact of Camp’s bill: Camp’s bank tax and changes to carried interest are now fair game in future negotiations. To be sure, some Republicans think the impact will be minimal. Republicans — not Democrats — frequently side with Wall Street on most every issue. While this stings, the pain will be gone before long. One Republican — who spoke without attribution to discuss his fundraising tactics — said the financial services sector will be so anxious to kill additional taxes that it might shell out more money than usual to sidle up to GOP lawmakers to make its case that they’ve made a mistake. But some Republicans feel that this will spread. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.), who has long been involved in House Republican fundraising, said the anger is not isolated to bankers — Realtors are also miffed. The plan would put in place new limits on how much homeowners can deduct on their mortgage interest. “The Obama administration and the Democrats have always just slammed big banks and oil companies and this that and the other, now we’re following kind of in the same footsteps with that,” he said in an interview. “So there is some concern out there, but I think you’ll see most members of our conference just listen to people and especially those of us on Financial Services and Ways and Means. We’re going to listen to people.” Rep. Patrick Tiberi, an Ohio Republican on the Ways and Means Committee, said the fundraising fallout will depend on where you fall on the bill. He said he has communicated his feelings about the bill with “the appropriate people” — including Camp. “It might impact Chairman Camp’s relationship with that sector,” Tiberi said in a brief interview, adding that he would not detail his opinion on the bill in the press. “It’s a draft that the chairman put out. I think individual members, depending on how they do support or don’t support, I think it’ll be based on that.” Richard Hunt, the head of the Consumer Bankers Association, said, “there’s no doubt some champagne corks were unleashed in Democratic circles last night. They got an early election gift.”
Romney, Christie raise $1 million for RGA By Elizabeth Titus Politico.com Despite a venue hiccup, Chris Christie and Mitt Romney reunited Thursday for a fundraiser in Boston that brought in about $1 million for the Republican Governors Association. It is the latest private fundraiser for the New Jersey governor, who has been traveling the country raising money for the RGA, which he chairs, while dealing with the fallout of a traffic scandal back home. The fundraiser was initially set to take place at the home of New Balance Chairman Jim Davis, but was moved to the Lenox Hotel over Davis’s discomfort with the press attention, “including the reporters who flocked to his home on Thursday
afternoon,” The Boston Globe reported. A person who attended the fundraiser confirmed the venue change to Politico. Davis could not immediately be reached for comment. Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts, vetted Christie to be his running mate in the presidential contest of 2012 before selecting Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. Prominent Romney supporters Bob White and Ron Kaufman were among those who attended the fundraiser, the attendee said. Massachusetts GOP gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker was there, too, said RGA spokeswoman Gail Gitcho, who also provided the fundraising total.

Obama, Biden hustle for ‘Let’s Move!’ By Tal Kopan Politico.com President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden finally showed off their “moves” Friday in a video for first lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative. In the video, released early Friday morning, Obama and Biden jog around the White House and drink plenty of water, showing off the themes of the first lady’s program. The White House has been promoting a social media cam-
paign this week to mark Let’s Move’s fourth anniversary, kicking it off in part with an appearance by Michelle Obama on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” in which, they asked Americans to show off their moves by tweeting, Facebooking and Instagraming themselves being active. If enough people got involved, the first lady promised, the president and vice president would get in on the act. The video released Friday was first excerpted Thursday night on “The Tonight Show” before the first lady released it on social media.

Murphy beds turn room into a guest room MELISSA KOSSLER DUTTON Associated Press The clients came to interior designer Laura Casey with a space dilemma: They did not want to give up the guest room in their suburban home, yet they needed a place for their child to play. Casey came up with a solution often used in small urban apartments: a Murphy bed. It takes up less space than a sofa sleeper or futon and — unlike many of those — uses a standard mattress, so guests, including elderly grandparents, have a more comfortable stay. “They did not want to compromise the quality of the mattress,” said Casey, owner of Laura Casey Interiors in Charlotte, N.C. The Murphy bed — which tucks into cabinetry when not in use — is enjoying new popularity as a stylish space-saver in many kinds of homes, not just studio apartments. “It’s an interesting trend,” said Chris Fahy, vice president of The Bedder Way Co. in Indianapolis, which makes Murphy beds and has seen sales rise in recent years. He says many customers are Baby Boomers, empty nesters, and other homeowners who want to turn a bedroom into a hobby room or exercise room but still need a place for grown children, grandchildren or other guests to sleep. Fahy’s Murphy beds range in price from $1,300 to $3,100. California Closets, which also makes custom wall beds, has seen the same upward trend, said Ginny Snook Scott, vice president for sales and marketing. Customers still buy Murphy beds for studio apartments and vacation homes, she said, but many others are looking to get more use out of an extra room. The company designs vertical and horizontal Murphy beds, often incorporating them into cabinetry units for home offices or craft rooms. Prices range from $3,000 for a simple wall bed and desk to $20,000 for a custom project with extensive cabinetry. Support pieces vary by manufacturer, but generally the mattress is encased in a frame that pulls out from a cabinet adhered to the wall. Today’s improved mechanism for low-

The bed Casey designed for her client does not include a piston or spring mechanism, which most manufacturers use to lower the bed onto the floor. “It just slowly drops down,” she said. Her design, which she had a carpenter build, does not look like cabinetry. The bed is incased in a faux wall. When not in use, the bed looks like a couch with a shelf over it. In order to reveal the bed, the homeowner removes the couch cushions and pulls on the shelf, which causes the faux wall to drop to the floor. The wall is really a platform for the queen-size mattress. The shelf becomes the support for the foot of the bed. It was the first time Casey ever recommended a Murphy bed to a client. She wrote about the project on her design blog, at www.lauracaseyinteriors.com , and the post drew inquiries from around the country, she said.
She’s not the only one to think of a new twist on the Murphy bed. Some manufacturers also have designed beds that, like hers, are hidden in a faux wall rather than a traditional cabinet. Resource Furniture in New York sells a wall bed that flips down over the top of a couch attached to a fake wall, said interior designer Nicole Sassman of Century City, Calif. “The whole bed comes down over the couch, and it’s a proper bed,” she said. “It’s pretty amazing.” Sassman recently designed a room that she and the client nicknamed the “jackknife room” because it served so many purposes, including guest room, meeting room and home office. It included a Murphy bed; they’re just more versatile and comfortable than sofa beds, she said. “People are far more designsavvy, and they need multipurpose rooms,” Sassman said. “There are so many reasons why the Murphy bed works in so many places.”

By Chris Putz Staff Writer HOLYOKE – The Westfield High School girls’ basketball team’s run at an historic tournament victory came to a screeching halt. The sound that signaled the end to their postseason was not the sound of a sneaker sliding across the court, but rather a whistle echoing throughout the gymnasium. No. 6 Westfield was whistled for a questionable offensive foul on a controversial moving screen call and subsequent technical foul which helped third-seeded Holyoke survive at home, 46-40, in the first round of the Western Massachusetts Division 1 high school girls’ basketball tournament Thursday night. Westfield (9-12) trailed by just one possession, 41-38, when they were hit with the foul call and quick “T.” Holyoke’s Kelly Reardon made one of two technical foul shots with 1:38 remaining in regulation. The Purple Knights (14-7) also took possession of the ball. Westfield held Holyoke scoreless over the next minute, and Alicia Arnold managed to get to the free throw line to pull the Bombers within, 42-40, with 22 ticks left. Holyoke made four free throws in the final 15.1,
Westfield turned over the ball, and the Purple Knights pulled away. “That was a big judgment call at that point in the game,” Westfield coach Ralph Loos said. “It’s disappointing that a veteran official would make a very, very poor decision that would affect the outcome of the game.” “It took the wind out of our sails,” Loos said. “We have a bunch of kids that worked very hard and deserved better than that.”
Westfield was sailing along late in the third quarter, fighting back with a 10-0 run over a 3-minute span to rally from a 16-point deficit. Beka Santiago drained a 3-pointer and dropped in a 2-point bucket, and Keri Paton converted two shots in the low post, including an and-one. Holyoke led 37-31. In the fourth quarter, Arnold made consecutive 3-pointers to make it a 2-point game just moments before the controversial call. She finished with
a game-high 16 points. Callie Cavanaugh and Reardon finished with 16 and 15 points, respectively, for Holyoke. It was Westfield’s first tournament game in several years. “We made leaps and bounds,” Loos said of the team’s inspirational rise. “If we were down 13 earlier in the year, we never would have been in it … I couldn’t be more proud of how hard they played.”

Brian Anderson
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Feb. 28, 2014: This year you are more creative and in touch with your inner self. As a result, a new quality appears in your demeanor, speech, ideas and many other areas of your life. If you are single, you are in the process of changing. The person you choose now might not work for you later. Go for the here and now. If you are attached, your sweetie will need to adjust to the ever-changing you. Once he or she gets into the swing of things, the two of you will have a ball together. Try to be more sensitive to your significant other’s needs. A fellow PISCES has many of your attributes, but he or she still might be far less in touch with his or her feelings. 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) HH You might go off boldly in the morning, but you’ll want to retreat by the afternoon. A lot is on your mind, which could discourage you from taking action. Give yourself some time to think things through. Don’t try to change the natural course of events. Tonight: Not to be found. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You will perk up as the day goes on. You have many ideas, and you see a great deal of possibilities tied to them. Work on communicating these perceptions to close loved ones. Your mind seems to be on overdrive -- go with it! Share. Tonight: With your pals. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might sense a change in your mood and in others’ moods as well. Don’t worry about what you can’t change; instead, focus on yourself. Through your ability to flex, you could gain a great deal of respect from your contemporaries. Tonight: A must appearance. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Understand what is going on with a loved one. This person might need you to bottom-line a critical issue for him or her. Listen carefully, and be sensitive to his or her needs. Encourage an open exchange of ideas and solutions. Tonight: Surround yourself with good music. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Try not to assume the role of leader right now. You have a great sense of what to do and when, but let others also take center stage sometimes. You will develop a special bond with a friend or associate when you pull back and become less dominant. Tonight: Dinner for two. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Defer to someone else for the time being. You will notice that others seem to be just as confused as you are. Take a step back, and observe what is happening. You feel at your best when socializing with friends and/or associates. Tonight: Say “yes” to the moment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could feel a bit down. Pace yourself, and handle a personal matter. Examine what is happening with a work-related matter as well. Communication is at its peak right now, so listen to others and ask questions; you will have a new outlook as a result. Tonight: Pace yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your imagination knows no limits. How much you choose to share will be your call. Others might seem more receptive than usual. Look at the long-term implications of a pending change to determine whether you want to head in that direction. Tonight: Make it memorable! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Verbalizing your thoughts will add an interesting twist to a situation, and it could result in more information. You could be taken aback by a key person’s change in attitude. Choose to say little as you digest this onslaught of information. Tonight: Happy at home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Listen to what is being shared. Only you can judge the importance of all the information you are hearing. Reach out for a friend with whom you enjoy spending time. Your immediate circle plays a big role in upcoming events. Tonight: Go local. Enjoy a neighborhood restaurant. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Deal with a money matter directly -- you can’t put off this decision for much longer. News could come in from someone at a distance. Once this
Cryptoquip
Crosswords
person starts to talk, it will be difficult to get him or her to stop. You could hear far more than you might like. Tonight: Treat a friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could find a situation testy at best. Allow your creativity to flourish, and you’ll see a personal matter very differently in a few days. Avoid snap decisions, and decide what works best for you. A partner or close friend could try to clear the air. Tonight: There will be many choices.
PAGE 16 - FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2014
Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Please Help Dear Annie: My husband and I are arguing about his desire to work from home. He has an office job that he can accomplish remotely, and by working at home, it saves him a 30-minute commute each way. Those are all great arguments. However, I don’t want him working from home. I have to admit that the big reason is simply because I want him to get out of the house more. He rarely leaves unless it’s with the kids and me. Does that make me a terrible wife? I work a part-time job, also with a 30-minute commute, that allows me to be home in time for the kids’ school bus. In addition, I take the occasional phone meeting from home, but of course, now I have to take those calls in the bedroom, as my husband is occupying the home office. I’ve tried to compromise and suggested he work from home two days a week, but he wants at least four. I feel like we are on top of each other all the time and that he is becoming more of a hermit. This has turned into a major argument. -- Please Help Dear Please: It’s true that for some people, working from home is detrimental. You never get out of your pajamas, and so you avoid other people and rarely leave the house. But that argument may not fly with your husband, who can respond that it’s his personal choice. The better argument is that you are on top of each other, which leads to annoyance and then resentment and can damage your relationship. Your husband is not going to give up the opportunity to work from home, and so it’s best if you both reach some accommodation. How about three days a week? Would he vacate the home office when you need it for business phone calls? Is there another space in the house that could be set aside as your personal office? Would you work longer hours if he met the school bus and took care of the kids? Ask your husband to cooperate with you to find a solution you both can live with. Dear Annie: Can you tell me what is the proper etiquette for graduation announcements? A relative is graduating from a military academy and wants to put a note in her announcement as to where she is registered for gifts. Is this appropriate? -- Aunt Dear Aunt: No. The only time registry information should appear is with baby and wedding shower invitations, where gifts are expected. Otherwise, it is wrong to send out notices inferring that the recipient is obligated for a gift. It would be better if the graduate lets a close friend and/or family member know her preferences and they can transmit that information to anyone who inquires. Dear Annie: I have followed the many outraged responses regarding adult children who have cut elderly parents out of their lives, so let me give another view. My mother is 86 and possessed of her faculties. She can live alone and unassisted. Both of my sisters cut her out of their lives years ago. Why? Because Mom has a cruel mouth and is bigoted, gratuitously insulting, highly opinionated and very vocal about what she thinks of you and everyone else. Mom complained that she has been shunned because of her age, and I told her it is because she is unpleasant and impossible, and that she should get counseling. She responded with a wellchosen two-word obscenity. So I’m done. I have tried with great patience to keep Mom in my life, but she is so difficult that I, too, have finally thrown in the towel. I don’t need the stress that she creates. Please let your readers know that the behavior of some adult children may be abundantly justified. -- Finished in Chicago Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.
HINTS FROM HELOISE Working Out the Gyms Dear Readers: Many folks JOIN GYMS around the start of the year. What is it about that holiday weight gain? Here are a few quick hints for not only finding the right gym for you, but also for being a good gym customer: * When looking into joining a gym, ask for a free trial. Some gyms will let you have a week free, or at least try a class to see if you like it. * Ask if they have any discounts. We all know the standard senior and military discounts, but they may have more, which could save you money. * When working out, don’t take calls on your cellphone! If you need to keep it with you, put it on silent and call back later! Or step away to someplace where you can talk without bothering other people. * Be aware of what’s going on around you! If you see that people are waiting for a machine or weights, don’t be a hog, and try to keep your time limited. * If taking a group exercise, be on time. If you know you are going to have to leave early, tell the instructor, and find a spot close to the door so you can slip out quietly. Hope these hints help you and others have an enjoyable gym experience! -- Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.
