City Council makes decisions on drones, emergency software, and a new pick-up for Police Department

By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – On Thursday, the City Council accepted a $15,000 gift to the police department for the purchase of a drone, authorized a 2016-17-westfield-city-counciltransfer of $32,000 from reserve to allow the department to purchase communication and safety software, and another interdepartment transfer of $44,102 to allow the police to purchase a Ford pickup truck to handle code enforcement for commercial vehicles.

The drone will be used by the department for police enforcement during large events, such as Park Square concerts or sporting events. It could also be used by Public Works to survey large areas, such as the Granville Reservoir.

Chief John Camerota presented the safety software request in the Finance Committee meeting earlier in the evening.

Camerota called the COPSync 911 program a “real-time”

communication and safety system for the police and the school district. The software puts an icon on desktops which can be punched if there is an emergency safety issue, and can also be programmed to go to cell phones.

Information technology manager Lenore J. Bernashe called it a “trigger mechanism,” that opens up communication back and forth with the police department, similar to a panic button. It may also be used by a teacher on a field trip.

She said the contract allows unlimited device usage, “so much per site, so much per responders.” She said it can also be used in City Hall.

“One of the chiefs that I served with for years is a consultant on it,” Chief Camerota said.

Finance Committee member Dave Flaherty asked if the cost Finance Committee member Matthew T. VanHeynigen would be $32,000 annually. Bernashe said the second year cost asked about other clients using the software. Camerota said would be $29,000. Flaherty then asked if the software could be the entire state of New Hampshire is using it, and locally, Southwick just picked it up.

Warm thoughts from Mayor Sullivan

Westfield Fire Commission appoints two

While it may be cold outside, some great things have happened around Westfield that keep me looking forward to spring.

SILVER MEDAL FOR CLERK’S OFFICE The Office of the City Clerk was recently recognized by the MA Election Modernization Coalition for their efforts in implementing early voting in Westfield. City Clerk Karen Fanion and her staff – Donna Roy, Kaitlyn Bruce, Marisa Colon and a dedicated team of election workers were able to implement a successful first run at early voting. The Clerk’s Office exceeded the standards set by the Board for a silver medal award. By the numbers, there were: • 12 days of early voting • 4,667 voted • 18%of Westfield’s registered voters voted early • 93 hours available for early voting While the average total of voter turnout remained on par for Westfield (75% for a Presidential election), the benefits of having early voting was clear at the polls on Election Day. There were no long lines at the regular polling places. The longest wait reported was 10-15 minutes at peak times. This is compared to the 30-45 minute wait in past years. The early voting option seemed to help out everywhere. Congratulations to Karen and her staff, and a special thank you to Senator Don Humason for delivering this message personally.

A NEW LOOK AT THIS YEAR We have begun working on the budget for fiscal year 2018. There are many things we want to address.I have instructed my department heads to prepare level-funded budgets to my office by mid-February. While we wait for indications from the state relative to local aid, I’ve again asked city departments to take a fresh look at their staff and expenses to recommend additional efficiencies.

We have begun work with our community partners to prepare for the Mayor’s Easter Egg Hunt in April. Stay tuned.

The repair project for the balustrades at the North side park is out for bid. It is anticipated that updating and safety concerns will be addressed and repaired by the end of spring, 2017. My hope is that we will once again be able to attend events there this summer.

Events I am looking forward to this month include Westfield Night at the Springfield Thunderbirds game on Friday, January 27. Also, the Penguin Plunge benefiting Amelia Park Children’s Museum will take place at Hampton Ponds State Park on Saturday, January 28 from 11:30 – 3:00. Volunteers from all over the city will be taking part by pushing or plunging their way to helping the museum raise some funds. It is their 13th Annual event, and their largest fundraiser of the year. Hope to see you there.

Reading comprehension program helps to improve students reading levels

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD—A national educational program is being heralded by school officials, after results have shown marked improvement in reading levels for Westfield students.

Read 180, a national reading comprehension program created by Houghton

Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), is being credited with improving student reading skills across the entirety of Westfield. Recent numbers that HMH and the Westfield School District shared showed improvements in reading levels, as well as in state testing like the MCAS.

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD–The Westfield Fire Department staff could be back to full size soon, after the Westfield Fire Commission appointed two paramedics to the city’s fire department this week.

The commission appointed Zachary Kareta, of Westfield, and Matthew Potter, of Monson, to be firefighters for the city Wednesday night, following a special meeting to interview candidates. Both men are certified paramedics and are expected to work on both fire apparatuses and on the ambulance. They were chosen from five candidates that were interviewed. The two will bring the department back to its full complement of personnel.

Southwick DPW Director addresses proposed budget to Select Board

By GREG FITZPATRICK Correspondent SOUTHWICK – The Select Board sat down with DPW Director Randy Brown at the last Select Board meeting to discuss Brown’s plan for the next fiscal year’s DPW budget.

As Brown laid out several needs on his proposed budget, a main priority includes the NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge

Elimination System) Storm water permit.

The permit will be in effect for all towns in Massachusetts by this upcoming July.

Brown went year by year with the permit, so he could show the Select Board the projected costs.

In the first year of the permit, there will be around $100,000 in costs.

104th Fighter Wing heading to Florida

By DAN DESROCHERS Correspondent WESTFIELD — The US National Guard’s 104th Fighter Wing will be deploying to Florida today to participate in combat training.

The 104th Fighter Wing will be deploying eight F-15 Eagle aircraft, one C-130 Hercules and over 150 Guard members to Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida. The group will be there for approximately four weeks to participate in the Weapons System Evaluation Exercise Program (WSEP). The deployment was announced via press release Thursday evening.

“Any future combat scenarios will be joint or coalition operations and so it is very important for us to have the opportunity to train outside of our own comfort zone,” said Maj. Brett “Dutch” VanderPas, in the press release. “It is very possible in any future combat operations we would be fighting alongside other countries and other types of aircraft and you never want the first time to be in combat. It is invaluable training we do not get very often back home.”

According to the press release, the program is designed to “evaluate and validate operational missiles in realistic air combat scenarios.”

The program taking place in Florida, according to VanderPas

An F-15 fighter jet from the Barnes 104th Fighter Wing during a past training exercise. (WNG file photo) in the press release, is due to the fact that warmer weather allows for more flying opportunities.

CLARIFICATION In the Thursday article about ice safety, Southwick DPW engineer and Chairman of the Lake Management Committee, Dick Grannells, wants to clarify that he and the rest of the Lake Management Committee don’t promote the ice on Congamond Lake as ever being safe. “You never treat ice as being safe,” said Grannells.

SPRINGFIELD, MA (01/04/2017)-- Western New England University ASME Student Design Competition team took home a fourth place finish overall in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) 2016 Student Design Competition Finals. The competition was held November 11-17 at the Phoenix Convention Center as part of the ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE) and hosted twenty-one student teams from 10 countries. The 2016 Western New England University College of Engineering team, guided by team mentor PhD Fellow David Greenslade ‘10/’G’15 (Southington, CT), included seniors Zachary Kusnierz (Westfield, MA), and Joshua Holley (East Longmeadow, MA), and sophomore Adam Testa (Montville, NJ).

“Their advisor, David Greenslade, played an important role in guiding and mentoring the team to accomplish this honor,” said Dr. Said Dini, chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. “I congratulate the team and David for their hard work and putting Western New England University’s name on the map again.”

Engineering students representing universities from the United States, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Pakistan, India, Egypt, Turkey, Peru, and China took part in the final round of this year’s competition, which asked students to design and build prototypes of a battery-powered, compact manufacturing system that could launch paper projectiles through the air. The competition’s panel of judges assessed the entries on criteria, including total distance traveled by the team’s projectiles and the total measured volume of each system. According to their website, ASME is a membership organization that encourages “collaboration, knowledge sharing, career enrichment, and skills development across all engineering disciplines, toward a goal of helping the global engineering community develop solutions to benefit lives and livelihoods.” Founded in 1880 ASME and has grown to include more than 130,000 members in 151 countries.

Thirty-two thousand of these members are students.

Montana beekeeper stung by beehive thieves in California

GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) — A Montana beekeeper says thieves got away with 488 beehives he had taken to California to pollinate almond trees.

Lloyd Cunniff tells the Great Falls Tribune it appeared the thieves used semitrailers to steal about 190,000 bees between Monday night and Tuesday morning in Yuba City, California. He said he was storing the bees on a fellow beekeeper’s property before moving them to Fresno, where he had a contract to pollinate almond trees.

Cunniff says the theft will cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars in income.

The hives were insured.

Cunniff said he reported the theft to the Sutter County sheriff’s department and learned other beekeepers have reported thefts, as well. He says beekeepers also are searching for the missing hives.

“The two candidates are experienced paramedics, so we hope they can hit the ground running and we can teach them the fire side,” Westfield Fire Chief Mary Regan said. “I think the commission did a great job picking the best two candidates.”

The two were offered conditional employment with the city, but before they are officially OKed for their respective positions they still must pass some obstacles.

These obstacles include passing the Massachusetts Firefighter Physical Abilities Test (PAT), a medical screening and attend and complete Massachusetts Fire Academy within a year of employment.

The PAT includes a simulated stair climb, navigation through dark, tight spaces, forcible entry and other firefighter-related activities. For the Massachusetts Fire Academy, recruits attend a 10-week program that teaches them the many intricacies of fire science, hazardous materials and other applicable skills and knowledge.

Decisions

From the second year to the fifth year, the expenses will continue to go up so the town can meet the terms of the permit.

Brown believes that having five years of the storm water permit, will give the DPW the chance to get a real hard look at the town’s storm water systems.

“That’s what these 5 years are, really identifying what the problems are,” said Brown at the table with the Select Board.

Once the town of Southwick reaches the sixth year of the permit, it will be decided if there are any big problems with the system that need to be fixed.

“That’s where the real costs will come in,” said Brown.

The permit is an unfunded mandate so the money spent on it will be coming directly from the town.

“There are some real costs that are going to have to be devoted to this year after year,” said Brown.

There were other areas in the department that Brown also addressed to the Select Board during the budget discussion.

Under highway needs, there are critical construction and improvements for paving, drainage, and curbing.

These items are all carried over from last year’s budget plan.

Culvert replacements are also an option to be placed into the budget, in which the total cost would be around $300,000.

There are a number of culverts in town that would need to be replaced. Brown referred to the failing culvert on Granville Rd. that would need to be addressed immediately.

“It’s not something that’s going to go away so it’s something that we need to address,” said Brown.

Also an item under highway is the request for a new vibratory roller that would be around $32,000. The current vibratory roller is about 27 years old.

“It’s old, it’s tough to find replacement parts,” said Brown. “We’d like to get this machine off the road with a

developed internally, to which Bernashe responded that the city does not have in-house programming.

During the discussion on the City Council floor, VanHeynigen told the Council that the negotiated price was close to half of the original quote, according to city auditor Mary Daley. He said both he and Flaherty were thinking that the purchase should be approved for one year until the city has the ability to do it in-house.

“I think we could, along with neighboring towns, build it ourselves,” Flaherty said. Council President Brent B. Bean, II asked if there is a residential component, to which Flaherty responded that it is for government employees, and covers schools, administration, city hall, police dispatch and vehicles.

Ward 3 Councilor Andrew K. Surprise suggested that the software might also be used in a plan to regionalize emergency dispatch in the city. The City Council unanimously approved the transfer and purchase of the software.

The Finance Committee also recommended to the City Council the purchase by the police department of a Ford pick-up truck. Chief Camerota told the committee the truck would replace an Expedition with 50,000 miles on it. He said the Health Department is interested in purchasing that vehicle.

Camerota explained that every tractor trailer that drives through the city will be pulled over

by Officer Chip Kielbasa at some point for inspection. He said the pickup will allow Officer Kielbasa, who has been trained as an inspector by the state police, to carry the equipment needed to inspect and weigh the tractor-trailers.

Moving to machinery, Brown mentioned that the DPW has about 30 pieces of equipment in their fleet. It is another item that needs to have an upgrade, as about 10 pieces of the equipment are 15 years old.

“We’re going to get to a point where we have several pieces of equipment out of service,” said Brown.

Towards the end of his budget talk with the Select Board, Brown brought up some of the needs for the sewer portion of the department.

Brown would prefer to keep a line item of $40,000, which would be used for

WESTFIELD grinder pump maintenance.

Buying more grinder pumps seemed like a wise idea for Brown, so they could last longer.

The Select Board asked Brown about the effect a grinder pump could potentially have for the residents of Congamond Rd., if they do get a sewer line installed.

Brown said that some residents along Congamond Rd. would need to have a grinder pump put in, but not everyone.

In regards to the Congamond Rd. sewer line project moving forward, Brown will be having a meeting with the sewer committee next Tuesday in which they will discuss that matter.

Russian political elites revel in Trump’s inauguration

By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV Associated Press MOSCOW (AP) — Russian officials and lawmakers lauded Donald Trump's inauguration Friday, hoping it will herald a period of better ties with the United States, while revelers in Moscow and elsewhere gathered for celebrations as bar and club owners sought to cash in on public excitement.

Trump's promises to fix ravaged relations with Moscow have elated Russia's political elite amid spiraling tensions with Washington over the Ukrainian crisis, the war in Syria and allegations of Russian meddling in the U.S. elections.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said that while Trump's policy toward Russia is unclear yet, "we are hoping that reason will prevail."

"We are ready to do our share of the work in order to improve the relationship," Medvedev said on Facebook.

Trump's praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin has raised expectations that he could move to normalize ties, even though he hasn't articulated a clear Russia policy and some of his Cabinet nominees have made hawkish statements on Russia.

Dmitri Trenin, director of the Carnegie Moscow Center, predicted that Moscow will face a pragmatic but very tough partner in Trump.

"Russia's potential is incomparable to that of the United States," he said, adding that Moscow will have to apply a lot of skills "to play from the position of weakness and not lose."

But despite the uncertainty, many Russians looked at Trump's presidency with high hopes, and some nightclubs and bars called parties to celebrate the inauguration.

At one Moscow nightclub, several dozen people began toasting Trump late Thursday.

Willi Tokarev, 82, a singer who emigrated to the U.S. in the mid-1970s and later became a music legend in Russia, topped the entertainment bill with his song "Trumplissimo America!"

"Trump, Trump - symbol of America. Trump, Trump, he's really president," the mustachioed Tokarev sang on a tiny stage with the Russian and American flags hanging behind him.

Across from the U.S. embassy compound in central Moscow, the Russian Army store put up a poster with Trump's picture, offering inauguration day discounts of 10 percent for Americans.

There is a broad feeling in Russia's political and business elites that relations with Washington just can't get any worse.

"Russia hopes that under Trump there will be no ideology, no attempts to lecture about democracy, human rights and rights of smaller nations around its borders ... but primarily deal with economic issues in a businesslike way and even tacitly divide spheres of influence," said Alexei Arbatov, a senior researcher with the Institute of World Economy and International Relations, a government-funded Moscow thinktank.

"Putin and Obama spoke different languages, they didn't understand one another. There is a hope that Trump and Putin will speak the same language, even though their positions may differ."

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov voiced hope that Trump will work together with Putin on solving the Ukrainian crisis and other problems, but warned against expectations of quick progress. "Difficulties will remain," he said.

Andrei Kuzyaev, a Russian oil tycoon who now heads ER Telecom, a leading broadband provider, said he expects Trump to "switch from political propaganda to action."

Leonid Slutsky, the head of the foreign affairs committee in the lower house of parliament, said in an opinion piece published Friday that "constructive approach and pragmatism have practically disappeared from the Russia-U.S. agenda during Obama's presidency."

Medvedev, who served as president in 2008-2012 when Putin had to shift into the premier's seat due to term limits, presided over a period of warmer ties during Obama's first term. He sharply criticized the outgoing administration for ruining relations with Moscow by attempting to treat Russia See Russia, Page 5

Trump’s big day underway: First, church before swearing-in

By JULIE PACE AP White House Correspondent WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump, the real estate mogul and reality television star who upended American politics and energized voters angry with Washington, will be sworn in Friday as the 45th president of the United States, putting Republicans in control of the White House for the first time in eight years.

"It all begins today!" Trump tweeted at daybreak, before heading to a morning church service with his family as light rain fell. "THE MOVEMENT CONTINUES - THE WORK BEGINS!" Ebullient Trump supporters flocked to the nation's capital for the inaugural festivities, some wearing red hats emblazoned with his "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan. But in a sign of the deep divisions Trump sowed during his combative campaign, dozens of Democratic lawmakers were boycotting the swearing-in ceremony on Capitol Hill.

While Trump came to power bucking convention, he was wrapping himself in the traditional pomp and pageantry that accompany the peaceful transfer of power. From church, the president-in-waiting will head to the White House to meet President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama for tea. The Trumps and the Obamas will travel together in the presidential limousine for the short trip to the Capitol for the noon swearing-in ceremony.

Trump supporters started lining up at security checkpoints before dawn to take their places in the quadrennial rite of democracy.

"I'm here for history," said Kevin Puchalski, a 24-year-old construction worker who drove from Philadelphia. "This is the first president that I voted for that won." His big hope: Trump builds that promised wall on the U.S.-Mexican border. "Keep the illegals out," he said.

Protesters, too, were out early, some trying to block inaugural visitors from passing through security checkpoints, some wearing orange jumpsuits with black hoods over their faces.

Police in riot gear were out in force.

Eleanor Goldfield, who helped organize the Disrupt J20 protest, said demonstrators hope to show they will not be silent throughout Trump's presidency. She called Trump supporters "misguided, misinformed or just plain dangerous."

Trump aides said the president-elect had been personally invested in crafting his inaugural address, a relatively brief 20-minute speech that is expected to center on his vision for what it means to be an American. Spokesman Sean Spicer said the address would be "less of an agenda and more of a philosophical document."

Trump has pledged to upend some of Obama's major domes-

(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) tic and national security policies, including repealing his signature health care law and building a wall along the entire U.S.Mexico border. But he's offered few details of how he plans to accomplish his agenda, often sending contradictory signals.

The three days of inaugural festivities kicked off Thursday.

Trump left his Trump-branded jet in New York and flew to Washington in a government plane, saluting an Air Force officer as he descended the steps with his wife, Melania. He and the incoming vice president, Mike Pence, solemnly laid a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery before joining supporters for an evening concert at the Lincoln Memorial.

Trump's son, Don Jr., told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that as the various festivities got underway, "the magnitude of it all" was at last sinking in. He pronounced his father "ready to take office."

"We're going to unify our country," Trump said at the close of the two-hour concert featuring country star Toby Keith, soul's Sam Moore and The Piano Guys. But not singer Jennifer Holliday: She backed out after an outcry from Trump critics.

With rain a possibility, the National Park Service announced that it was easing its "no umbrella" policy for Friday, allowing collapsible umbrellas along the parade route and on the See Inauguration, Page 5

Inauguration

National Mall.

The nation's soon-to-be president joked about the chance of a downpour. "That's OK," Trump told campaign donors at an event Thursday night, "because people will realize it's my real hair."

"Might be a mess, but they're going to see that it's my real hair," he said.

Whatever the weather, Trump supporters were looking ahead to the day.

Chris Lehmann, 55, a maintenance supervisor from Belmar, New Jersey, said: "I'm so excited, I'm like, on top of the world."

Eleanor Haven, 83, of Alexander City, Alabama, was attending the festivities with her son, Scott Haven. The pair said they had never been to a political event before attending a Trump "thank you" tour rally in Alabama after the election and were looking forward to Friday's celebration.

"We're excited for changes in the country," Scott Haven said.

Celebrities were weighing in from all parts of the globe.

Matthew McConaughey, in London to promote movies, stressed a need for acceptance, saying, "The votes came in, the peaceful transfer of power should happen today and we all need to embrace that." James Taylor, a vocal Trump critic, emailed a video postcard from his vacation in French Polynesia, saying that on the last day of the Obama administration, "it feels like it's raining all over the world."

On the eve of the inauguration, protesters and Trump supporters clashed outside a pro-Trump event Thursday night, with police using chemical spray to try control demonstrators outside the "DeploraBall." The name was a play on a campaign remark by Hillary Clinton, who once referred to some Trump's supporters as a "basket of deplorables."

All of the living American presidents were scheduled to attend the swearing in ceremony, except for 92-year-old George H.W. Bush, who was hospitalized this week with pneumonia. His wife, Barbara, was also admitted to the hospital after falling ill. Trump tweeted his well-wishes to the Bushes, saying he was "looking forward to a speedy recovery."

Clinton, Trump's vanquished campaign rival, also planned to join dignitaries at Capitol Hill.

While Trump revels in a celebratory lunch with lawmakers and parade up Pennsylvania Avenue — passing his newly opened Washington hotel — workers at the White House will set about the frantic process of moving out the Obamas and preparing the residence for its new occupants. Moving trucks were on standby Friday morning at the White House.

Obama, who will continue to live in Washington, was leaving town with his family after the inauguration for a vacation in Palm Springs, California. He planned to address a farewell gathering of staff at Joint Base Andrews before boarding his last flight on the military aircraft that ferries presidents on their travels.

Woman who severely beat baby gets up to 12 years in prison PITTSFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts woman who beat her infant son so severely that he still has medical problems a year after the assault has been sentenced to up to 12 years in prison.

The Berkshire Eagle reports that 19-year-old Tonia O'Brien was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty to charges including aggravated assault and battery on a child.

Prosecutors say when emergency personnel responded to O'Brien's Hinsdale home on Dec. 31, 2015, the 2-month-old boy was not breathing and had bruises on his face and chest.

They say the woman shook, hit and threw the boy.

The boy is paralyzed on his right side, may be deaf, blind or both and may be susceptible to neurological illnesses due to a severe skull injury.

O'Brien's attorney said his client wanted to take responsibility.

Ex-UPS worker pleads guilty to role in cocaine trafficking BOSTON (AP) — Prosecutors say a former worker at UPS Inc. has admitted in federal court to his role in a drug trafficking organization that shipped cocaine from Puerto Rico to Massachusetts.

The Boston Globe reports (http://bit.ly/2j0JAZ5 ) 41-yearold Jorge Carrasquillo-Ortiz, of Toa Baja, Puerto Rico, pleaded guilty in Boston this week to attempted distribution of 500 grams of cocaine.

Carrasquillo-Ortiz faces up to four decades in prison and a $5 million fine when he's sentenced in April.

Prosecutors say Carrasquillo-Ortiz received $1,200 for each kilogram of cocaine that he shipped.

A cooperating witness in June 2016 arranged to have a shipment of fake cocaine delivered to Carrasquillo-Ortiz in Puerto Rico.

Authorities say Carrasquillo-Ortiz slipped the package through UPS security. It was then loaded onto a UPS plane and sent to Massachusetts.

‘I’ve seen rain:’ James Taylor bemoans end of Obama era BOSTON (AP) — Half a world away from Washington, James Taylor is greeting fans with a video bemoaning the end of the Obama era.

The singer emailed a clip from French Polynesia on the eve of Donald Trump's inauguration. It shows him standing outside a grass hut in the rain.

In his video postcard, he says: "Hi, it's James in French Polynesia on the last day of the Obama administration, and it feels like it's raining all over the world."

Taylor lives in western Massachusetts. He says he's vacationing en route to his latest tour in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Russia

"Conclusion: The Obama administration has destroyed relations between the United States and Russia, which are at their lowest point in decades," Medvedev said.

He denounced the sanctions the U.S. and its allies imposed on Russia over its action in Ukraine, saying that "it doesn't get any dumber than restricting entry to the United States for the leadership of the Russian parliament, ministers, and businessmen, thus deliberately reducing the possibility of full-fledged contacts and closing the window to cooperation."

State TV stations carried flattering reports about Trump Friday, chronicling his business achievements and describing his ritzy lifestyle.

Senior Russian lawmakers spoke with disapproval about anti-Trump protests and criticized CNN for speculating about possible succession if Trump is assassinated in an attack on the inauguration day.

"That atmosphere shows us the flaws of Western democracy, particularly in the United States," flamboyant ultranationalist leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky said in parliament.

Boston police warn of fake playoff tickets after man scammed BOSTON (AP) — Boston police are warning New England Patriots fans to be careful of counterfeits when buying tickets for this weekend's AFC Championship game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Police say a man walked into a station on Wednesday to say he had been scammed by a man he had connected with through Craigslist.

The victim said after making the online connection, he met the suspect and exchanged money for the tickets. The victim learned a short time later that the tickets were counterfeit.

For those wanting to create a garden with native plants, Gottlieb suggested starting off simple and small.

"Don't get overwhelmed, and don't do it all at one time," she said. "I did it a bit at a time with my garden, and that's why it's taken me 30 years. Take gardening classes. California plants go dormant in the summer, and Eastern plants tend to go to dormant in the winter. It's good if you can find a gardening class specific to the native plants in your area."

RADIO FOR THE WESTFIELD MASSES

By SOLVEJ SCHOU Associated Press BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Spread out along a hillside near the Beverly Hills Hotel, Susan Gottlieb's baseballfield-size home garden — dubbed the Gottlieb Native Garden — boasts more than 100 species of native plants and brims with wildlife activity.

Birds flock to a large shrub called toyon, with white flowers in the summer, fall and spring, to nibble on its red berries. Bees descend on towering matilija poppies, whose large white and yellow flowers bloom in late spring. Butterflies love fragrant coyote mint, an herb with nectar-filled lavender flowers.

For the 75-year-old Gottlieb, an environmentalist, philanthropist and nature photographer, the garden has been a labor of love for nearly 30 years. A new book, "The Gottlieb Garden: A California Love Story" (National Wildlife Federation, 2016), written by Mallory Smith and featuring more than 120 photographs by Gottlieb, captures the garden's essence.

"Native plants are so incredibly important for wildlife and insects, which are the base of everything," Gottlieb said in an interview. "Most people, in the early '90s, I found, had no clue what a native plant was, and drought-tolerant plants weren't on the menu either. When I began the garden, I was a rank amateur. I've learned a lot."

According to the Theodore Payne Foundation for Wild Flowers and Native Plants, a nonprofit in Sun Valley, California, native plants not only thrive in local climates, but they provide food and shelter for native animals and also save water.

Yet native plants are not the same as drought-tolerant plants, Gottlieb stressed.

"Many California native plants are drought-tolerant ... but not all," she said. And "drought-tolerant plants can be from around the world."

Her garden is on the Theodore Payne Foundation's annual home tour of native plant gardens, and all profits from the book go to the foundation and other environmental groups. When the tour started more than a decade ago, 20 people came to see her garden; in 2016, hundreds filed through in a day, Gottlieb said.

The foundation's executive director, Kitty Connolly, called the Gottlieb Garden "an inspiration for all gardeners. Susan's skillful use of native plants shows how gardening can enrich our cities, support native wildlife and forge a strong connection with our natural heritage."

Originally from a small mining town in Canada, Gottlieb grew up with water and nature conservation in mind from a young age. She later moved to California, worked as a nurse in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and met her husband, Dan Gottlieb, in 1984. Trips to California's Death Valley and concern that lakes such as Owens Lake and Mono Lake would become dry because of Los Angeles' need for water led her to create a water-saving home oasis.

She ripped out the moisture-guzzling ivy growing around her Beverly Hills home and replaced it first with drought-tolerant plants, then native plants. Dan and Susan Gottlieb also own the

Review: ‘Sunset Baby’ at TheaterWorks

By MARK G. AUERBACH Correspondent Dominique Morriseau’s Sunset Baby is a brash and bold family drama that is, at times poetic, at times sobering, and always tense and taut. A young woman, Nina, was born from a relationship between an addicted mother and Kenyatta, a Black Power activist, who ended up in jail, when Nina was a toddler. When Nina’s mother dies, she leaves her daughter a stack of letters she had written but never sent to Nina’s father–letters being sought for a price by historians. As Sunset Baby begins, Nina is contacted by her now out-of-prison father, with whom she’s had no contact since early childhood. He wants to read the letters. Nina’s boyfriend, a street hustler, wants the letters for their value. The confrontation of father and daughter is brutal, raw, and rough, traits that roll over into Nina’s relationship with her boyfriend.

Morriseau’s script, framed by the activist’s monologues attempting to explain his actions to his daughter, is laced with diatribes of anger, frustration and hurt, punctuated by a liberal dose of grating F-bombs, and N-words language. Yet, there’s a rhythm of lyricism beneath the street talk. Julian Evans’ sound design adds so much to the mood. Alexander Woodward’s set, Karen Perry’s costume designs, and Rob Denton’s lighting designs are superb. Director Reginald L. Douglas stages Sunset Baby with intensity. Most of the creative team are new to TheaterWorks audiences.

Brittany Bellizeare’s performance as Nina is superb on every level; it’s an exhausting role, and one which requires stamina, and Bellizeare surfs the waves of raw emotion

effortlessly.

Veteran actor and Hartford native Tony Todd is commanding as Kenyatta, Nina’s father and former freedom fighter. Carlton Byrd was smooth as the hustler. As an ensemble, this trio of actors worked so well to bring out the power and nuance of Morriseau’s script.

Seeing Sunset Baby on the evening of The Ghostlight Project, a national initiative to make our theatres a sanctuary for all, added to the mood at TheaterWorks. In Sunset Baby, three marginalized characters seek sanctuary from the world around them: a father who gave up a chance to raise a a daughter for “the greater good”; a hustler wise in the ways of the streets, but unable to escape them; and a daughter who has to confront her past in order to move forward. For the adventurous theatregoer, Sunset Baby has a lot to offer, although the journey will challenge.

HOLYOKE, Mass. – The Junior League of Greater Springfield (JLGS) announces its collaboration with the Irene E & George A. Davis Foundation for the “Little Red Bookshelf Program”. “The Little Red Bookshelf” program re-circulates gently-used children’s books back into the greater Springfield community where they are made available free for families to own.

“Earlier this year we revised JLGS’ mission and vision to comport with the community’s growing concern - literacy. With literacy in mind, we collaborated with Irene E & George A. Davis Foundation on literacy outreach and have launched The Little Red Bookshelf program in five community locations! Members have collected and put bookplates into over 1,550 books, and we still have hundreds, if not thousands, of books that have been collected and still need book plating. Knowing that these books are lining JLGS’ red bookshelves waiting to be taken home and read to and by children in the community is awe inspiring. It lends credence to the William Shakespeare quote which reads “Though she be but small, she is fierce.” Indeed, with an active member base of under 20, we have

developed, planned and executed a project over a short few months that will hopefully grow and assist the community for years to come said president Sharon Baldwin.”

We currently have five bookshelves placed throughout the community at the following locations: 1. Hampden Probate and Family Court, Springfield 2. Mason Square Neighborhood Health Center, Springfield 3.

High Street Pediatric Practice, Springfield 4.

“There’s growth across all the classrooms,” Sam Howe, senior vice president of academic planning and analysis for HMH, said. “What you saw was three out of four students had roughly a year’s growth in reading skill and half had two year’s growth.”

In addition to the local success of the program, when compared nationally the improvements are perhaps even more impressive.

“Since its inception five years ago, Westfield has been exceptional in comparison to nationwide school systems,” Dan Kane, a Highland Elementary School and Read 180 teacher, said.

HMH looked at data from 4,000 school districts, and according to Kane, Westfield ranked highly in that sample size.

“Westfield is in the top five percent, which out of those numbers is statistically significant,” Kane said.

Regarding MCAS scoring, increased scoring was not as prolific as the improved reading levels, but the amount of students in Westfield who scored in the two lowest levels dropped. To school officials, this is also critical to the improvement of students.

The program was first brought to the city in 2012 by then-administrator of student interventions Dr. Jennifer Alexander and has been maintained since, showing improvement in students since its implementation.

The program, which is overseen by nowadministrator of student interventions Christopher Rogers, is reportedly used by over a million students nationwide a day. It

utilizes a multi-prong approach to increase reading skills in students through curriculum, instruction, assessment and professional development from grades 3 to 9, Rogers said, with some students being assisted in grade 10.

Westfield Public Schools Logo Sept.2016The program’s goal is to get students to their respective grade level’s reading expectations, and as noted by Howe, it also succeeds in exceeding those levels. The program works with students through reading, answering questions and comprehending text, which becomes more difficult as the student goes along.

According to Rogers, the program has provided the outline to help students improve, but it is the work of faculty that has resulted in its success.

“The tool is a great tool and we’re heavily invested in the tool, but it’s the work of those on the ground,” he said.

Initial costs to the city for implementation of this program were not available at press time, but with nearly 540 students enrolled in the program at an annual cost of $100 per student, the yearly costs for Read180 is almost $54,000.

Additional praise also came from superintendent of schools Stefan Czaporowski, who has seen the program from both the school level and the administrative level.

“First as a building principal and now as the superintendent for the district, I fully recognize and appreciate this program’s positive effect on student achievement,” Czaporowski said.

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer PALMER – The Westfield Technical Academy High School boys’ basketball team made many lefts and rights in its travels on the road to Pathfinder High School Thursday, but it’s the final stop on the court that has their head coach thinking this team may have turned the corner in the 2016-17 season.

Westfield Tech survived three overtime periods before escaping Pathfinder with a thrilling 74-73 victory.

Tyler Starzyk and Vlad Biley led Westfield Tech with 25 and 21 points, respectively.

Tigers’ Mark Klyuchits finished with nine, and Andrew Czeremcha had eight.

(This) may be just be the type of win we need to turn (the) season around,” said Westfield Tech coach Kyle Dulude, whose team, like many in the area this season, stumbled out of the gate, appeared much improved.

After a sluggish start, Westfield Tech awoke with a vengeance.

“We started out slow,” coach Dulude admitted. “We found a rhythm right before the half, stuck to the game plan, and the effort was outstanding.”

Westfield Tech appeared to be on the verge of winning in regulation and in the second overtime, but Pathfinder made game-tying shots in each frame to extend it.

The phrase “team victory” is often a cliché in the sports world, but it truly is not overused in this circumstance as Westfield Tech overcame three players fouling out in overtime.

The others stepped up.

“We could have very easily folded many times but someone always came through with the needed extra effort on each play, especially in the three overtime frames,” Dulude said.

“Pathfinder is a good team. They have some great athletes. It was a quality win … I am extremely happy for our players because they definitely deserved the win.”

Murrays shoot past WHS Amherst 73, Westfield 55 Meikkel Murray (21 points) and Meikyle Murray (19) combined for 40 points, and the Amherst Hurricanes defeated the host Westfield Bombers.

Kam Wells (11 points), Ryan Murray (10), and Gabe Santos (9) led Westfield (4-7).

It has been a rollercoaster ride this week for Westfield which opened with a thrilling 65-55 overtime victory over Hampshire on Monday, the Bombers first road win of the 2016-17 regular season.

Westfield lost to Putnam on Tuesday, 74-43.

“If we keep playing together and working hard, we will come around,” Westfield coach Josh Balestracci said.

Baystate downs Gators Baystate Academy 62, Gateway 41 Gateway Regional went into a scoring drought for a nearly four-minute stretch in the fourth quarter, and Baystate Academy pulled away late. Gators’ Shane Mastello scored a game-high 20 points.

Jake McKitrick (10 points) also reached See H.S. Roundup, Page 11

Dear Annie

By ANNIE LANE

Show Me the Money Dear Annie: I have been dating this girl, “Laura,” for about two months. Things are going extremely well. She’s kind, funny, intelligent -- all the things I look for in a woman. But we’ve been on many, many dates, and she’s only offered to pay once. I am happy to pay, and I want to -- she’s a special girl, so I feel fortunate to have the pleasure of her company, and I really do care for her -- but I’m in law school right now, and my well doesn’t run that deep.

I’ve tried to drop hints here and there -- suggesting we go to a more casual restaurant instead of the one with the tablecloth, hit the matinee rather than the movie at the Saturday date-night hour, etc. -- and she’s always down for the change of plans, but she doesn’t seem to get it. I don’t know whether she’s just that clueless or she actually has that expectation (and will continue to have it for as long as we’re together). There’s also a twinge of feeling as if she’s ungrateful for what I do, which I don’t want to grow. What’s the best way to proceed? -- I Ain’t No Mr. Moneybags Dear Mr.: Generally, I think whoever does the asking should do the paying. So if your partner’s favorite restaurant is a ritzy, three-dollar-sign steakhouse downtown, by all means, she can take you. But she can’t propose the idea and then expect you to foot the whole bill.

Seeing as how this is bothering you, it seems to be a red flag that she hasn’t been offering to pay. Try raising your budgetary concerns in a friendly way, and keep the focus positive. Good on you for being generous these past two months. Chivalry is alive and kicking.

Dear Annie: I’m writing not with a solution for “Tired in Tulsa” but about her comment about being tired all the time since the birth of her baby. I want to encourage all people, especially women, to take better care of themselves.

I was exhausted and tired while raising my children and working full time. I wish now I had not expected myself to do it all. I would have been a better person, parent and wife if I had done something to reduce my workload either at work or at home. And I might be feeling better now in my 60s if I’d taken better care of myself. And I wouldn’t be looking back with regret at how I treated the people around me because I was tired and cranky.

I realize it may not always be economically possible, but many of us could do well with less. I think my family and I would have been better off with less money if it had meant I was in a better state of mind after taking care of myself.

So my advice to everyone is to do the best you can to get enough rest, exercise and good food and take care of your emotional needs. It’s not selfish, because it does benefit everyone around you. -- Wishing I Had Taken Better Care Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators. com.

TNT to launch NBA coverage featuring ex-players NEW YORK (AP) — TNT will use broadcast teams featuring only former players and no traditional play-by-play men during five NBA doubleheaders later this season.

The "Players Only" schedule runs Monday nights from Feb. 27 to March 27 and includes matchups such as Golden StateOklahoma City on March 20 and Cleveland-San Antonio a week later.

Brent Barry will serve as the primary host of one team with Derek Fisher and Grant Hill, while Greg Anthony partners with Kevin McHale and Richard Hamilton on the other.

Lisa Leslie and Dennis Scott will serve as reporters.

Turner Sports says Thursday that Chris Webber will anchor the studio coverage with Isiah Thomas and Baron Davis, and that additional NBA players will contribute to the five-week program.

‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ star Miguel Ferrer dies at 61 NEW YORK (AP) — Miguel Ferrer, who brought stern authority to his featured role on CBS' hit "NCIS: Los Angeles" and, before that, to NBC crime drama "Crossing Jordan," has died.

CBS said Ferrer died Thursday of cancer at his Los Angeles home. He was 61.

He had played assistant director Owen Granger on "NCIS: Los Angeles" since 2012. Before that, he played the chief medical examiner and gruff-but-supportive boss to series star Jill Hennessy for the six seasons of "Crossing Jordan."

A native of Santa Monica, California, Ferrer was the son of Academy Awardwinning actor Jose Ferrer and singeractress Rosemary Clooney, and a cousin of George Clooney, who issued a statement Thursday afternoon.

"Today, history will mark giant changes in our world," Clooney said, "and lost to

most will be that on the same day Miguel Ferrer lost his battle to throat cancer. But not lost to his family. Miguel made the world brighter and funnier and his passing is felt so deeply in our family that events of the day ... pale in comparison. We love you Miguel. We always will."

In his own statement, "NCIS: Los Angeles" showrunner R. Scott Gemmill called Ferrer "a man of tremendous talent who had a powerful dramatic presence onscreen, a wicked sense of humor and a huge heart."

Ferrer began his career in the early 1980s with guest shots on many TV series.

In 1990 he scored a signature role as FBI Agent Albert Rosenfield on David Lynch's smash series "Twin Peaks." He reprised that character for the 1992 movie "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me." He will encore yet again as Agent

Rosenfield for Showtime's "Twin Peaks" revival airing this spring.

Along with TV, Ferrer appeared in more than 40 movies, MIGUEL including "RoboCop," FERRER where he played the villainous Bob Morton, designer of the title character, "Iron Man 3 ," where he portrayed the vice president, and "Traffic."

Voiceover credits include "Superman: The Animated Series," ''Robot Chicken" and "American Dad!" Before becoming an actor, he was a successful studio musician who played drums in a variety of bands, and toured with his mother and Bing Crosby.

Survivors include his wife Lori and sons Lukas and Rafi.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Others seek you out. You enjoy this position, where you can say “yes” or “no,” even in professional circles.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Pace yourself, and know how much you need to accomplish. You might want to reschedule an important meeting, especially if it has financial implications.

A boss or higher-up is likely to be impressed by your approach, thinking and style. Tonight: Off to join friends.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH If you feel somewhat exhausted by recent arguing, just let the feeling go. Approach others with an open mind; the results will be better.

Tonight: Treat a friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Encourage others to be more open. Your feedback might not be needed, as others seem willing to say what really is on their mind. Even if you make a judgment, try not to let anyone know. As a result, you’ll get more information. Tonight: Zero in on what you want.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You are all smiles, and are ready to move forward. Sometimes you don’t realize how significant your presence can be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Activity surrounds friends and a possible goal. You might be in weekend mode already. As a result, you probably will want to cut the workday short or schedule a long lunch with your peers. Others seem to be up for more gregarious interactions. Tonight: With your favorite people.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Take charge of an important project. Your associates might decide to leave you alone to tend the shop.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.

(AP) — There are few things that Bill Belichick respects more than history in the NFL. And few teams elicit as much praise from the Patriots coach as the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Part of it is the reverence that Belichick holds for the way Steelers founder Art Rooney and his family has operated a franchise that's remained among the league's best, winning multiple Super Bowl titles more than 30 years apart. It is a model emulated when Robert Kraft bought the Patriots in 1994 and six years later hired Belichick, who has nurtured a "Patriots Way" that has helped bring four Lombardi trophies to New England.

Those histories will collide when two of the most successful programs of the 2000s meet in Sunday's AFC championship game.

"They've been tough to deal with going all the way back to coach (Chuck) Noll in the '70s," Belichick said.

"They were pretty consistently tough to deal with through that entire period of time, which has been all of my years in the league."

Either New England or Pittsburgh has been a part of nine of the 17 Super Bowls since 2000, winning six championships between them.

"They have a lot of wins over there," said Patriots receiver Julian Edelman. "It's nothing but respect for the Steelers. I went to school in

Steelers Country over in Kent State. Half the school was in a Steelers jersey. I've known about that whole faithful for a while now."

But for all their individual successes, the teams have met only four times in the playoffs. The Patriots have won three of those matchups, including the last two in the AFC title games in 2005 and 2002 at Heinz Field. Both times New England went on the win the Super Bowl.

Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been a part of both of the Steelers' recent championships, but the 34-year-old's only playoff meeting with the Patriots was the 2005 loss when he was a rookie.

He has spoken often about his respect for the Patriots and Tom Brady , which included him requesting a jersey from Brady prior to Pittsburgh's loss to New England back in October .

Big Ben missed that game because of knee surgery. This is the latest opportunity to play in "the lion's den," he said.

"They are the best in the world," Roethlisberger said.

"They are the gold standard, if you will. So you want to have that opportunity to go up to play the best."

Brady is 6-2 in head-tohead matchups with Roethlisberger, but Roethlisberger didn't play in the Patriots' Week 7 win in Pittsburgh because he was recovering from surgery on his left knee.

Including the two playoff wins, Brady is 9-2 overall against Pittsburgh, including a 4-0 record at home .

Roethlisberger is 3-6 all-time against New England.

History aside, Brady said he is expecting to get the best from Pittsburgh, which started the season 4-5 but has won its last nine. "(Roethlisberger's) been a leader for that team for a long time and they've won a lot of games with him behind the center," Brady said. "It's going to be a great game."

Here are some things to watch for in Sunday's game: WHAT VIDEO?: Most of the early part of the week was consumed by the fallout from video of Steelers coach Mike Tomlin using an expletive to describe the Patriots during a postgame speech to his team following its divisional-round win over Kansas City.

Unbeknownst to Tomlin, the speech was aired on a social media livestream by receiver Antonio Brown.

But Patriots special teams captain Matt Slater said it wouldn't provide any extra motivation.

"We're playing in the AFC championship game. If you can't get motivated to play in this game, then you're in the wrong sport," he said.

RED MEANS STOP: Pittsburgh's high-octane offense ran into some serious hiccups in the divisional round against Kansas City.

Seven trips inside the Chiefs' 30 — and four inside the 20 — resulted in no touchdowns,

an interception and an NFL playoff record of six field goals from Chris Boswell.

"We just didn't execute in critical downs," Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Todd Haley said. "We had opportunities to make plays in that game. A couple that probably would have been touchdowns, we didn't make. We were able to come out on top."

BUD NOT SO LIGHT: Steelers outside linebacker Bud Dupree might be the team's lucky charm.

Pittsburgh hasn't lost since Dupree recovered from surgery to repair a sports hernia.

The team's first-round pick in 2015 has five sacks in nine games while playing opposite veteran James Harrison.

Though Dupree typically lines up wide of the tight end, he's more than happy to try and go up the middle in an effort to get in Brady's face, something Houston did with limited success last week.

"You've got to do anything you can to try and get in his face," Dupree said.

PLAN B, C & D: Pittsburgh reached the title game despite missing wide receivers Martavis Bryant (suspended) the entire season and Markus Wheaton, Sammie Coates and Darrius Heyward-Bey for long stretches due to injury. In their place are the likes of seventh-round pick Demarcus Ayers, practice squad graduates Xavier Grimble and Cobi Hamilton, as well as undrafted free agent Eli Rogers.

"So, we have a lot of guys that I think can make plays for us, outside of the usual suspects," Roethlisberger said. "Even if it is one or two big plays a game, sometimes that can be enough, if the play is made at the right time."
