Council seeks medical marijuana maps

Council sits on trail funds

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The members of the City Council voted unanimously last night to return two Columbia Greenway appropriation requests to committee without further action.

The members choked on the source of the appropriation, not on the size of that funding request which was less than $20,000.

The council’s Finance Committee brought out two appropriation requests, one for $2,100 and the second for $17,500, with a recommendation to take no action. Both of the appropriations came from the same source, the Engineering Department’s Chapter 90 account.

The funding was requested to finance the taking of two parcels of land adjacent to the Columbia Greenway rail trail to create an access point from the rail trail to Coleman Avenue and Bliss Street. The access would be constructed along a small portion of the former railroad spur down to South Broad Street.

Ward 1 Councilor Christopher Keefe, chairman of the Finance Committee framed the appropriation discussion at his committee meeting prior to the City Council Session.

“This is a taking of property,” Keefe said. “Do we do this with Chapter 90 funds or money from another funding

source? Committee members felt that because of the condition of the city’s roads, Chapter 90 money should be used for road repairs.”

Ward 2 Councilor Ralph Figy, a proponent of the Columbia Greenway project that is largely located in his ward, asked if deferring action of the appropriation “would stop the rail trail from progressing.

Brother takes rap, gets probation

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A city man escaped prosecution when his brother took the rap for ten pounds of marijuana city police found when they searched their Orange Street apartment last year.

His brother was placed on probation for a year and was assessed $50.

The Westfield police department’s special response team had turned out on April 9, 2013, to assist detectives execute a warrant at the home of Savier R. Cosme, 21, and Jose L. Cosme, 23, of 41 Orange St., during the investigation of a downtown shooting incident.

“Among individuals, as among nations, peace is the respect of others’ rights.”

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The City Council voted last night to request the Engineering Department submit two maps showing where medical marijuana facilities would be allowed in the Industrial A and Business B zones of the city.

The two maps would reflect the original zones of the proposed ordinance which establishes a 500-foot buffer from schools, churches and places where children congregate, and a 700-foot buffer in an amended version of the medical marijuana ordinance approved Tuesday by the Planning Board.

Both proposed ordinance versions set a 300-foot buffer from medical marijuana facilities and residential property and both versions would allow those facilities in the Industrial A zone through a site plan review by the Planning Board and in a Business B zone through a special permit review by the Planning Board.

At-large Councilor David A. Flaherty made the motion that the maps be submitted to the Zoning, Planning & Development Committee, which he chairs, in advance of the discussion of the medical marijuana ordinance review slated for 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 26.

“I’ve contacted the Engineering Department so we can visually see in what parts of the city these facilities would be allowed and what areas are blacked out by buffer zones,” Flaherty said.

At-large Councilor Brian Sullivan amended Flaherty’s motion to include the Legislative & Ordinance Committee which will bring a final version of the proposed ordinance to the council floor for consideration.

At-large Councilor Matthew VanHeynigan, who was a member of the Planning Board prior to his election to the City Council, said the Planning Board discussion Tuesday attempted to balance the safety of city residents with state law which prohibits communities from outright banning medical marijuana facilities.

“The concern is that the buffer zones cannot be so expansive that they become exclusionary,” VanHeynigan said. “If the ordinance is exclusionary the Attorney General will strike it down.”

At-large Councilor Cindy Harris, also a member of the ZP&D Committee, said that the maps will provide a visual aid during discussion of the proposed ordinance.

“It’s an excellent idea to be able to see visually where these (medical marijuana) facilities could be located,” Harris said.

The council voted 11-0 to request the maps from the Engineering Department showing the Industrial A and Business B zones with an overlay of the exclusionary buffer areas.

Track trumps graduation tradition

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Students at SouthwickTolland-Granville Regional High School look forward each year to the tradition of “walking the hill” to graduation.

This year, that long-awaited walk is probably going to be a shorter trip down the auditorium aisle.

A group of students presented a petition to the School Committee this week asking to continue the tradition of an outdoor graduation after they were told last week the ceremony would be moved indoors.

Senior Kathryn Merritt told the committee that students were very upset at the sudden change in plans.

“The Class of 2014 has gone through a lot of changes and we’ve had a lot of things taken away from us,” Merritt said. “We’ve had our school under construction, four vice Students from the Southwick-Tolland Regional High School celebrate their graduation in the principals in four years and we just want to soccer field at the Powder Mill Middle School as part of a long-standing tradition. This year the keep something the same.” ceremony will be staged indoors due to the renovations of the present track and field. The high Merritt said she understood that recent school is in the background. (File photo by Frederick Gore) graduation ceremonies got out of control and

she believed moving the ceremony indoors was in some way a punishment for the behavior of former students.

“I know you’re trying to transfer to an indoor graduation, but I think this is not the year to do it when our school is only halfbuilt,” Merritt said.

Barry said the high school track renovation is driving the move.

“The track project is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Barry said. “We’re trying to navigate the completion of the project around (next) spring sports schedules.”

In order to use the track next spring, work must begin as soon as possible. Because the outdoor graduation ceremony uses the track, and there is nowhere else to hold the ceremony outdoors, it must be held inside.

The new track project would most likely mean the end of the outdoor graduation tradition.

“The surface will have implications on what type of events will be held there in the future,” Barry said. “It is likely that site is not going to be available.”

Landfill search for ‘E.T.’ video game is halted ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico environmental regulators are blocking two companies from digging up an Alamogordo landfill in search of a rumored cache of what some consider the worst Atari video game of all time.

Game cartridges for “E.T. the ExtraTerrestrial,” based on Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster hit film, were reportedly dumped in the landfill in the 1980s, according to the Alamogordo Daily News (http://bit. ly/1kLNXjD ).

New Mexico Environment Department spokesman Jim Winchester said Wednesday an approved waste excavation plan, or WEP, is needed before any dig can See Search for E.T., Page 8

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, March 21, the 80th day of 2014. There are 285 days left in the year.

O

n March 21, 1685, composer Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach, Germany.

On this date:

In 1556, Thomas Cranmer, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, was burned at the stake for heresy.

In 1804, the French civil code, or the “Code Napoleon” as it was later called, was adopted.

In 1871, journalist Henry M. Stanley began his famous expedition in Africa to locate the missing Scottish missionary David Livingstone.

In 1907, U.S. Marines arrived in Honduras to protect American lives and interests in the wake of political violence.

In 1944, Charles Chaplin went on trial in Los Angeles, accused of transporting former protegee Joan Barry across state lines for immoral purposes. (Chaplin was acquitted, but later lost a paternity suit despite tests showing he wasn’t the father of Barry’s child.)

In 1960, about 70 people were killed in Sharpeville, South Africa, when police fired on black protesters.

In 1963, the Alcatraz federal prison island in San Francisco Bay was emptied of its last inmates and closed at the order of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy.

In 1965, civil rights demonstrators led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. began their third, successful march from Selma to Montgomery, Ala. In 1972, the Supreme Court, in Dunn v. Blumstein, ruled

that states may not require at least a year’s residency for voting eligibility.

In 1985, police in Langa, South Africa, opened fire on blacks marching to mark the 25th anniversary of Sharpeville; the reported death toll varied between 29 and 43.

In 1994, at the Academy Awards, “Schindler’s List” won seven Oscars, including best picture and best director for Steven Spielberg; Tom Hanks won best actor for “Philadelphia” while Holly Hunter was honored as best actress for “The Piano.”

In 1999, Israel’s Supreme Court rejected a final effort to have American teenager Samuel Sheinbein (SHYN’-byn) returned to the United States to face murder charges.

(Under a plea agreement, Sheinbein received a 24-year prison sentence in Israel for the slaying and dismemberment of 19-year-old Alfredo Enrique Tello Jr.; on Feb. 23, 2014, Sheinbein was killed in a prison shootout.) “Shakespeare in Love” won seven Oscars, including best picture and best actress for Gwyneth Paltrow; Roberto Benigni won best actor for “Life is Beautiful”; Steven Spielberg won best director for “Saving Private Ryan.”

Ten years ago: The White House disputed assertions by President George W. Bush’s former counterterrorism coordinator, Richard A. Clarke, that the administration had failed to recognize the risk of an attack by al-Qaida in the months leading up to 9/11. (Clarke’s assertions were contained in a new book, “Against All Enemies,” that went on sale the next day.) Iraqi-born architect Zaha Hadid won the prestigious 2004 Pritzker Architecture Prize, becoming the first woman to receive the profession’s highest honor.

Five years ago: In Oakland, Calif., parolee Lovelle Mixon shot and killed two motorcycle officers, then killed two SWAT team members while holed up in an apartment before he was killed by law enforcement. A busload of activists representing working- and middle-class families paid visits to the lavish Connecticut homes of American International Group executives to protest the tens of millions of dollars in bonuses awarded by the struggling insurance company after it had received a massive federal bailout. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (hah-meh-neh-EE’) dismissed overtures from President Barack Obama, saying Tehran did not see any change in U.S. policy under its new administration.

One year ago: On his second day in the Middle East, President Barack Obama insisted “peace is possible” as he prodded both Israelis and Palestinians to return to long-stalled negotiations with few, if any, pre-conditions.

Committee member, said it would delay construction of the access spur, but would not affect the current work on the Columbia Greenway which is being extended from 500 feet south of Tin Bridge to East Silver Street.

At-large Councilor Dan Allie question Crean about the duration of the delay. Crean said the delay will entail identifying another funding source and approving the appropriation from that source.

Keefe said that while using Chapter 90 funding on a bikeway is allowed under state law and Department of Transportation guidelines, repairing potholes is a higher priority at this time.

At-large Councilor David A. Flaherty said he “would like to see every penny of Chapter 90 go to road repairs because we are so far behind fixing our roads.”

At-large Councilor Brian Sullivan said that while council members opposed the funding source of the appropriation request, none of the members expressed opposition to the Columbia Greenway project or the access spur.

Sullivan said the issue is that the Engineering Department, which presented the appropriation request, “does not have access to free cash” or other funding sources. Sullivan noted that only the Mayor can make a request to appropriate free cash and that request requires the affirmative vote of nine City Council members.

The council members discussed two options, sending the appropriation back to committee and lettingSeniors it sit Sarah Helps while other funding sources are investigated, orCan sending the appropriation You back to Mayor Daniel M.

COMMENT

I saw in Wednesday’s Westfield News the Westfield Housing Authority is accepting bids for new refrigerator/freezers for the residences that are owned by the city of Westfield and I thought to myself, boy! I wish I could afford a brand new refrigerator/freezer for my own home but hey, I’m glad to help out wherever I can. Just keep taking from those that produce and give to those that don’t. Give me a break! I’m losing my job at the bank and they can go out and hire a security guard to babysit the parking lot while I’ll be collecting unemployment being trained for a job that I’ll never find. Wonderful!

Have you looked at the minimum wage? They want to raise it. What’s Amherst trying to do, $15 an hour? That’s going to put a lot of businesses out of business if they gotta pay that much in manpower per hour.

Today is Tuesday, March 18, and about 5-10 days ago I called the phone number for PusleLine, asking how Westfield schedules the streets to be fixed. We all know they have many potholes. Does Westfield go by the number of potholes on a street or traffic? Not complaining because I know that it will take time for this to be done. My call was never printed. Do you not take phone calls anymore? I was reading today’s PulseLine and agree with your policy about political comments. But it hit a nerve with me that you printed the last call about Notre Dame Street Hill. The caller used bad judgment in their language and this paper used bad judgment in printing the caller’s language. I know some readers will not agree but this call should have been proofread better. The City does not have a plan for fixing the potholes that they would release to The Westfield News.

Hillary Clinton’s delay: Frozen field or human shield?

By Maggie Haberman Politico.com The claim has hardened into accepted fact among many Democratic operatives: Hillary Clinton is freezing the Democratic 2016 field as she waits until possibly late this year to decide on another presidential run. It’s virtually impossible for anyone other than Clinton to raise money or build a campaign infrastructure, the thinking goes, with Clinton hovering overhead.

Yet Clinton’s allies believe it’s not true — and increasingly they are saying so. In fact, they argue the opposite: that the former first lady is shielding other prospective Democratic contenders from months of attacks and scrutiny they’d probably face without her in the picture. There’s simply no need for Clinton to start a campaign this early, they say.

“I don’t buy it at all. It’s crazy,” William Daley, former chief of staff for President Barack Obama, said of complaints about her timetable. “Maybe they’re all better off … whoever jumps in will have instant analysis, attention … Most of these people have day jobs. That’s the most important thing for them” to do right now.

The question of whether Clinton is helping or hindering fellow Democrats could prove critical for the party in the event that she declines to run, which top donors and officials reluctantly acknowledge is possible for a variety of reasons. If she eventually passes, it could leave the party with little time to devise a backup plan with what many strategists privately call a dearth of viable replacements.

Democratic operatives who believe Clinton’s prolonged time frame is problematic are reluctant to say so publicly lest they antagonize the party’s potential 2016 standard-bearer. But the view is widely held.

“Since the Clinton camp has sent just about every smoke signal that she’s in, there has been very little oxygen for other Democrats to test-drive a message or build a coalition — and some strong Democrats that could run may have taken a pass entirely since they assumed she was running,” said one former Obama adviser.

“If she doesn’t run, there won’t be a series of candidates simply making the next move in their meticulous plan — there will be a scramble because there’s no obvious alternative.”

Phil Singer, a Democratic strategist who worked on Clinton’s 2008 campaign, said it’s self-evident that other potential hopefuls are, for the most part, hedging against her candidacy.

“Given the strength of her prospective candidacy, it’s hardly a surprise that other candidates are lukewarm about jumping into the 2016 fray,” he said. “At some point, the party will need some kind of signal about her intentions because they’ll have See Clinton, Page 8

Obama expands sanctions against Russia

By Jennifer Epstein and Edward-Isaac Dovere Politico.com President Barack Obama’s lips said “diplomacy continues” — but his new sanctions, and the military helicopter he announced them in front of, said America’s relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin has essentially ground to a halt.

Russians gleefully mocked the sanctions announced Monday morning — and quickly released a list of their own sanctions targets Thursday, shortly after the president announced the latest round of additions to the growing U.S. list.

The U.S. list announced Thursday cut into a wider group of people, including those thought to have a hand on the Russian president’s own finances, and the “crony bank” where many of the inner circle, according to the administration, does business.

The administration can talk about the off-ramp all they want — “we’ve emphasized that Russia still has a different path available,” Obama said Thursday morning, standing on the White House lawn — but there’s no easy way back from here. If anything, nearly three weeks into the costs and consequences that Obama warned Putin of at the outset of the crisis, they’re expecting things to get worse: Russian troops are looking threatening around southern and eastern Ukraine, Obama said Thursday, and just yesterday, the Kremlin started expressing concern about the ethnic Russians in Estonia.

White House officials acknowledge that Putin doesn’t seem moved by the political and economic isolation that Obama and other world leaders have been looking to impose. Obama himself paused at, but ignored, a question shouted at him Thursday about whether Putin cared.

Despite the imposing backdrop of the army green Marine One helicopter just behind Obama on the White House lawn — just a short walk from the briefing room podium where he’s delivered all his previous public statements on Ukraine — officials repeated Thursday that no military action or aid was heading into the region.

Officials charged that the Russian military was threatening and trying to provoke Ukrainians, but they dismissed the idea that they’d even go so far as to provide night vision goggles to the troops being run out of Kiev.

“Nobody wants the outcome here to be a full-bore military conflict between Russia and Ukraine,” a senior administration official said Thursday, after the president

spoke, adding that the White House doesn’t “want to take steps to add to a momentum of further militarizing this situation.”

The Obama administration’s actions are in response to Russia’s “dangerous risks of escalation” in Ukraine, the president said, which have not subsided even after an initial round of sanctions issued earlier this week.

Obama spoke from the South Lawn of the White House before heading to Florida for an economic speech and two fundraisers.

The new U.S. sanctions hit 20 individuals — including “senior, important” members of the executive and legislative branches in Russia, a senior administration official said. Several are “close confidantes” of Putin, although the sanctions have not yet been expanded to Putin himself.

American officials have said several times that escalating to sanctions against a head of state would constitute an extreme action that they are not yet prepared to take.

Eleven others, in Russia and in Crimea, were slapped with U.S. sanctions on Monday. The United States has now sanctioned the same 18 individuals sanctioned by the European Union, as well

as others.

Obama also signed a new executive order on Thursday that “gives us the authority to impose sanctions not just on individuals but on key sectors of the Russian economy,” he said. It could lead to sanctions on Russia’s financial services, energy, metals and mining, defense and related material, and engineering sectors.

(Transcript: President Barack Obama’s statement on Ukraine) Sanctions are also being implemented against Bank Rossiya, the 17th largest bank in Russia, with about $10 billion in assets, freezing them out of any transactions that deal with dollars and cancelling any corresponding American accounts.

Though Russian officials have dismissed the effects of the sanctions, a second senior administration official was confident that they are creating a strong, though slow stranglehold.

“There may have been some in Russia who mistakenly believed that we would stop after Monday’s sanctions. Not true. Nor are we stopping now,” the official said. “We are working actively with the existing authorities using their creative breadth to hurt the entities

with the smallest impact on us and our allies.”

“Sanctions build over time.

They are very powerful,” the official added. “People may think they are a wrist-slap. I assure you they are not.

While in Europe next week, Obama is expected to meet with the leaders of the G-7, as well as Asian allies, to discuss further steps.

Russia quickly responded by announcing its own sanctions against nine U.S. officials, including top Obama administration aides and members of Congress.

The U.S. officials facing Russian sanctions are deputy national security advisers Ben Rhodes and Caroline Atkinson, senior White House adviser Dan Pfeiffer, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Sen.

Obama to address graduates of Mass. high school WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — President Barack Obama will deliver the commencement address at Worcester Technical High School.

Principal Sheila Harrity made the announcement to seniors on Thursday.

The ceremony is scheduled for June 11 in the DCU Center.

Harrity says in a statement that the president’s visit is an honor, adding that Obama is a pre-eminent leader and advocate for career and technical education.

The White House issued a statement saying the school was selected because of its outstanding headway in boosting graduation rates, implementing cutting edge vocational programs, and ensuring that all of its students have the opportunity to succeed.

GRANVILLE — Officer Brian Moore of the Granville Police Department took time out of his schedule to speak to my group of 11 Brownie Girl Scouts today from troop 11630. Officer Moore discussed safety, being responsible, what to do if they found a dangerous item, and being a good citizen.

He told them about all of the tools that a police officer has to carry on them and when and why they would get used. He let all of the girls try on a bullet proof vest and see how heavy it was while he discussed how it can protect him. The girls asked him many, many questions and had a great time. In the end he gave them all badges and information on being a good citizen which he said is the most important part of his job. The girls are working on a community service project of appreciation making “stay safe” bracelets for fire and police officers. Hannah Manning presented enough bracelets for the town of Granville’s department. Officer Moore’s daughter Alyssa is the one who asked him to come and speak to her brownie troop.

Brothers Continued from Page 1 had developed information that the shooting suspect, Ray Boissonault, had frequented the brothers’ apartment and was seen heading that way after the shooting incident.

A search for the pistol elsewhere had been fruitless and a warrant was secured to seek it at the brothers’ Orange Street apartment.

Dickinson had asked for the assistance of the special response team, according to team leader Sgt. Jeffrey Baillargeon, “due to the high threat to officer safety with regards to weapons in the home.”

The SRT officers quickly secured the residence and the investigating detectives found one of the residents, Jose Cosme, in the apartment and found him to be in possession of “2 cellophane sandwich bags containing marijuana.”

Jose Cosme escaped prosecution because, assistant district attorney Mary Partyka reports, “a codefendant, Savier Cosme, has taken responsibility for the charges.”

Savier Cosme pleaded guilty to the charge of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute on Wednesday and was placed on probation for one year by Contant. He was also assessed $50.

In addition to the $50 assessment, Cosme will be liable for a monthly $65 probation service fee but defendants are often allowed to perform community service to satisfy that obligation.

Better Homes & Gardens Senior Editor, Amy Panos, in Saratoga Springs, New York. Like many housekeeping tasks, regular cleaning can help avoid bigger cleanup work later on. “It doesn’t have to be as difficult of a job as it sounds,” said Panos. (AP Photo)

How to keep walls, woodwork clean

By LISA A. FLAM Associated Press Walls can get dirty before you know it — from a splatter of spaghetti dinner to the crayon artistry of a roaming toddler to fingers simply reaching for a light switch.

It’s easy to pass by walls and woodwork every day without a second glance, but spring-cleaning season is a great time to give them the attention they deserve.

Like many housekeeping tasks, regular cleaning can help avoid bigger cleanup work later on.

“It doesn’t have to be as difficult of a job as it sounds,” said Amy Panos, senior editor at Better Homes and Gardens. “The easier you can make it on yourself, the more likely you are to do it.”

DIRT AND SCUFFS Walls tend to get dirtiest around light switches and door knobs.

“Even if a hand looks clean, it still has a little dirt and oils that over time build up and eventually make that area of the wall dirty,” Panos said.

Walls also get marked up from accidental kicks or the brush of a bag near the baseboards. Parents know how toddlers’ hands often find their way to walls, either with filthy fingers or with crayons or markers.

These fingerprints and other blemishes are best tackled right away. “The sooner you can get to a mark that is noticeable, the easier it will be” to clean, said Sharon Grech, a color and design expert for Benjamin Moore.

People are wary of cleaning or washing painted surfaces because they fear the process will remove the paint. But Grech said the technology has improved over the last decade, and paints now are more stain-resistant and durable for cleaning.

Still, it’s important to use the right products.

To remove everyday marks, Grech suggested using a clean cellulose sponge with a little warm water.

“Just give it a good rub,” she said. “Wait for it to dry and see if it’s clean.”

If the dirt is still evident, repeat the process using a dab of dish detergent and wipe the area dry with a clean sponge, rag or paper towel.

“Warm water does miracles with a sponge,” Grech said. “You want to avoid using regular household cleaners that have ammonia and other products in them” because they can change the sheen of the paint.

Panos likes the ease of a foam eraser pad, like Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, though be sure to test it first in an inconspicuous area to make sure it won’t remove

the color or finish. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is approved by the manufacturer for use on most paints, including flat and semi-gloss paint.

“They’re quite incredible,” Panos said. “They take care of a lot.”

Don’t forget doorways and trim, often coated in easy-to-wipe paints but in light colors like white and cream that make marks especially visible. Cleaning those areas can instantly make the room seem brighter.

“It really glistens,” Grech said. “It’s like putting on a nice lip gloss.”

DUST AND COBWEBS

While most people know to take care of an unsightly mark, many overlook cleaning the whole wall, Panos said. Once you have a fresh coat of paint, lightly dust the walls about every three months.

“You don’t need to get a bucket and soap and sponge and completely wash down the walls,” she said.

“Make it easy on yourself by getting a tool with an extension pole so that you can stand on the ground and take care of the job in just a few minutes rather than having to drag out a ladder.”

Clean the ceiling first, with a dust-attracting microfiber mop on the extension pole for smooth ceilings, or a slightly damp paint roller on the pole for a popcorn ceiling, she said. The walls can be cleaned from top to bottom with the mop (dry or slightly damp), and the baseboards hand-cleaned with a microfiber cloth.

“Keeping the environment as dust-free as possible is helpful for a good interior air quality,” Panos said.

Grech recommends regular cleaning where dusts collects, such as on baseboards, and on window ledges, where it can mix with moisture and turn into a mess.

While cleaning the walls won’t prolong the paint job, she said, it will help keep them looking their best.

“You want to clean the areas that are getting a little bit more abused to keep it fresh,” she said.

Orchid Cacti

Easy to grow, beautiful in bloom

LEE REICH, Associated Press The biggest problem with growing orchid cacti is figuring out just what they are.

They are cacti, but are not spiny. Their spectacular blossoms are neither orchids nor orchid-like.

Sometimes orchid cacti are called epiphyllums, which is also the botanical name of some (but not all) orchid cacti. The word epiphyllum means “on the leaf” and refers to the way the flowers just pop out from the edges of the ... well, they look like leaves but they’re really just flattened stems.

Enough with the semantics! The important thing is that fat flower buds on my orchid cacti’s stems are about to burst open into spectacular white, pink or scarlet blossoms. And coaxing forth these blossoms required very little effort on my part.

THIS CACTUS LIKES MOISTURE Although orchid cacti, or epies (short for epiphyllums) as they are sometimes called, are true cacti, they are not native to deserts but to lush, tropical jungles. There, they nestle into forks in tree branches or into rock crevices where enough humus has accumulated to retain moisture. The plants enjoy soils that are both well-drained and retain moisture. I use my standard potting mix with a little extra perlite for drainage; you could See Orchid Cacti, Page 7

Average U.S. 30-year mortgage rate falls WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages declined last week, edging closer to historically low levels.

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate for the 30-year loan fell to 4.32 percent from 4.37 percent last week. The average for the 15-year mortgage eased to 3.32 percent from 3.38 percent.

Mortgage rates have risen about a full percentage point since hitting record lows roughly a year ago.

The increase was driven by speculation that the Federal Reserve would reduce its $85 billion-a-month bond purchases, which have helped keep long-term interest rates low.

Deeming the economy to be gaining strength, the Fed announced in December and January — and again on Wednesday — that it was reducing its monthly bond purchases.

The Fed said after its latest two-day policy meeting that even after it raises short-term interest rates, the job market strengthens and inflation rises, the cen-

tral bank expects its benchmark short-term rate to stay unusually low.

Fed Chair Janet Yellen stressed that with the job market still weak, the Fed intends to keep short-term rates near zero for a “considerable” time and would raise them only gradually. Yellen also suggested that the Fed could start raising rates six months after it halts its monthly bond purchases, which most economists expect by year’s end.

That means short-term rates could rise by mid-2015.

The National Association of Realtors reported Thursday that sales of U.S. existing homes slipped in February, the sixth decline in seven months as severe winter weather, rising prices and a tight supply of homes discouraged buyers.

Still, there were some signs that the market could pick up in the coming months. Sales improved in the South and West, where weather was less of a factor. And more people decided to sell, boosting the supply of available homes.

To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country between Monday and Wednesday each week. The average doesn’t include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.

The average fee for a 30-year mortgage was unchanged at 0.6 point. The fee for a 15-year loan also held steady at 0.6 point.

The average rate on a oneyear adjustable-rate mortgage edged up to 2.49 percent from 2.48 percent. The average fee remained at 0.4 point.

Ukraine, EU sign deal

MOSCOW (AP) — President Vladimir Putin completed his annexation of Crimea on Friday, signing a law making the Black Sea peninsula part of Russia just as Ukraine itself sealed a deal pulling it closer into Europe’s orbit.

Putin said he saw no need to further retaliate against U.S. sanctions, a newly conciliatory tone that apparently aimed to contain one of the worst crises in Russia’s relations with the West since the Cold War. However, the Russian Foreign Ministry said a few hours later that Moscow will “harshly” respond to the latest round of U.S. sanctions — the conflicting signals

apparently intended to persuade the West to end the spat over Ukraine.

At Ukrainian bases on the peninsula, troops hesitated, besieged by Russian forces and awaiting orders. Russia claimed some had already switched sides and agreed to join the Russian military. Friday had been the deadline for Ukrainian troops to leave Crimea, join the Russian military or demobilize.

Russia rushed the annexation of the strategic peninsula after residents there voted in a hastily called referendum Sunday to leave Ukraine and join Russia. Ukraine and the West have rejected the vote, saying it was held at gunpoint since Russian troops had seized control of Crimea two weeks

earlier. The U.S. and EU have responded to the crisis by slapping sanctions on Russia.

Putin hailed the incorporation of Crimea into Russia as a “remarkable event” before he signed the parliament bills into law Friday in the Kremlin. He also ordered fireworks in Moscow and Crimea.

At nearly the same time in a ceremony in Brussels, Ukraine’s new prime minister pulled his nation closer to Europe by signing a political association agreement with the European Union. It was the same deal that touched off Ukraine’s political crisis, the deal that President Viktor Yanukovych rejected in November, igniting the months of protests that drove him from office and sent him fleeing to Russia.

to field a candidate but that time has not yet arrived.”

Clinton’s most vocal backers point to Bill Clinton’s darkhorse run for president in 1991. That year, he was a little-known governor from Arkansas, while New York Gov. Mario Cuomo was the Democratic nominee-in-waiting, pre-emptively blocking any potential foe as he waited until less than a year before the election to decide whether to run.

Cuomo defied expectations and pulled the plug on a campaign in December 1991, after famously leaving a plane idling on a tarmac as he deliberated whether to fly to New Hampshire for the primary. Up to that point, though, he provided valuable cover for other Democrats, including Bill Clinton. Instead of the media focusing on the spate of Clinton scandals that ultimately shaped 1992, he had time to define himself positively as “The Man from Hope.”

Though Hillary Clinton is a more formidable potential Democratic nominee than Cuomo was then, her supporters say she could end up serving much the same role for a 2016 Democratic bench that operatives bemoan as thin.

“I actually think it’s a good thing — if Hillary has frozen the field, it’s a good thing,” said former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a Clinton backer who described the Cuomo parallel as “very apt” to the current situation.

“To be honest, people start these campaigns far too early,” said Rendell. “The desire to keep a Democratic president will still be strong [within the party] … it’ll be a more compact campaign, and to that extent maybe a less damaging and divisive campaign.”

Democratic strategist Steve Murphy, who has long supported the Clintons, agreed, saying, “most of what” candidates do this far out from an election “is blow money and commit gaffes.”

Whether it was a timed mile in gym class, to catch a bus home, or to elude the authorities, everyone has gone for a run in their lifetime.

“I ran four years of track and cross country my senior year in high school,” said Janette Kosier, formerly of Westfield but now of Norwalk, Connecticut. “When I went to UMass, I ran here and there. But I’ve been running 5K’s, and ran a half-marathon last year in New Haven.”

And now, Kosier has her sights set on one of the most daunting challenges a runner can undertake, as she is preparing to don a numbered bib and hustle the arduous course, from Hopkinton to the Hub of the Universe, of this year’s Boston Marathon in honor of Bron, her brother who passed away after two courageous bouts with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare pediatric bone cancer.

It is the memory of her brother that pushes her to the limit every time she laces up her kicks.

“Bron was first treated in the ’70s, and it came back 15 years later. He passed in ’97, when he was 27,” Kosier said of her brother, who was three years her elder. “There’s nothing like a bond between a brother and a sister, and I’m doing it for his memory.”

Kosier praised the efforts and service of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, whose DanaFarber Marathon Challenge she has partnered with, and said that she has raised over $10,000 already, and believes her goal of $13,000, which will go to the Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research, is more than attainable.

“It’s a very good cause,” she said. “We’re passionate about raising money and having his memory live on.”

What started locally in Norwalk, a small coastal city which sits 45 minutes from New York City, has turned into a full court press

that has involved family, friends, and corporate donors, and has built up a sizeable presence on social media.

“It’s a full force family effort,” she said.

“We have lots of family around Boston.”

Marathon Monday 2014 is sure to be an emotional day for Kosier and everyone in attendance and participating, as the tragedy that struck last year’s event is still weighing heavy on the minds of everyone in Boston, and Janette is well aware of what to expect.

“It’s a big year for Boston,” she said. “With all the tragedy (last year), that will be a motivating factor, thinking of what people went through.”

Kosier, who turned 40 this month, said that she believes she is ready for the big show after her “milestone” birthday.

“After three years of cross-fit training, I’ve pushed myself and it’s given me the confidence and capability,” she said. “I know I can do these (marathons).”

But Kosier knows that the memory of her

www.rundfmc.org/2014/janettek. brother is what will really drive her to the finish line on April 21.

“My parents were talking awhile back, and thinking of how my brother was a rarity (when he got sick),” said Kosier. “But now, everyone’s been touched by cancer. We can’t raise enough money for research.”

Phelps goes 6 innings as Yankees beat Red Sox 3-2 FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — David Phelps went six innings, giving up two runs on four hits and two walks with three strikeouts as the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 3-2.

Phelps, who is trying to earn a spot in the starting rotation, faced a lineup close to what the Red Sox will field on Opening Day. “It was fun, man,” Phelps said. “They put a lot of their regulars out there. I like that because I can see how my stuff’s playing against them. Those guys that have seen me before, I can see how my stuff is. It’s also a little easier because we have a scouting report on these guys. But that’s as close to a real game as I’ve had this spring. It was a good atmosphere with the crowd. It was a good night.”

Clay Buchholz went five innings, giving up three runs on five hits, with three strikeouts for the Red Sox. Francisco Cervelli led off the second inning with a home run, his fourth of the spring, to give the Yankees a lead.

Red Sox center fielder Grady Sizemore, attempting to make his way back into baseball after being sidelined by injuries for more than two years, played a full nine innings. It was the first time this spring he had played a full game, and his second time playing in back-toback games. He went 1 for 4 with a run scored. He is batting .360 (9 for 25).

underwent an MRI Thursday on his ailing right calf, and the exam showed no structural damage. Manager Joe Girardi said he is hopeful Ellsbury, who was scratched from Sunday’s game, could play again over the weekend. If not, then by Tuesday, after Monday’s offday.

Shortstop Brendan Ryan was scratched shortly before Thursday’s game because of upper back spasms. A team spokesperson said the spasms are unrelated to Ryan’s previous back ailments, which had limited him to nine plate appearances this spring. It is uncertain if he will be ready for opening day.

“I think you have to be, just because of where we are right now,” Girardi said. “I don’t imagine he’ll play before the weekend is over. I would be surprised.

“He hasn’t played much.

That’s the problem. He would have to play some next week and it might have to be in some minor-league games just to get him some at-bats.”

Red Sox: Left-hander Craig Breslow, who is being brought along slowly because of last season’s increased workload, is scheduled to throw batting practice for the first time on Friday and pitch in a game for the first time on Monday.

FOR THE RECORD: The teams combined for just 11 total hits.

Yangervis Solarte went 0 for 3 for New York, and is now batting .455, going 15 for 33.

Chris Leroux, Fred Lewis, and Matt Daley, who earned the save, combined to pitch three scoreless innings, allowing just one hit. Left-hander Chris Capuano relieved Buchholz and went three scoreless innings. In his last two outings he has pitched six scoreless, hitless innings.

“He continues to throw the ball very well,” Farrell said. “He uses all of his pitches. He’s not afraid to throw in on right handers with his fastball. He’s got a good mix to throttle some hitters back and forth with fastball and changeup. He continues to make quality pitches. He’s been very good.”

Before the game the Red Sox optioned right-hander Rubby De La Rosa and infielder Brock Holt to Triple-A Pawtucket and reassigned infielder Brandon Snyder to minor league camp.

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Saddened Dear Annie: I’m 52 years old, and since my wife started menopause, we no longer have sex. It has become physically painful for her, and she has no desire whatsoever. I understand what is happening and am trying to be supportive and roll with the punches. But it’s difficult.

I could get along without intercourse if we just had some kind of sexual intimacy. I know she loves me, and I love her, but the thought that I may never have sex of any kind again is difficult.

I have told her that just getting naked and doing some heavy petting like teens would be more than enough. She never initiates anything, and I’m embarrassed to keep asking, because I don’t want to put pressure on her and make her feel bad when she says no. I would never cheat on her.

This morning I sat down and cried. It makes me so sad. My wife is not interested in counseling. She has no desire for sex, so why fix it? I take care of my appearance and treat my wife with love and respect. So how can I get off this one-way street?

I feel like I should simply man up and come to terms with it, but I have been unable to do so. Help. -- Saddened Dear Saddened: We wish we could knock some sense into women like your wife. In a healthy, loving marriage, one takes their partner’s feelings and needs into consideration. There are medical treatments for painful intercourse and diminished libido, but your wife has to make the effort. And there are other forms of intimacy, as you have so clearly stated. Yes, there are more important things than sex, but a spouse’s longing for intimate contact should not be dismissed as inconsequential.

Dear Annie: I’m a 55-year-old home health nurse, one of six who have been caring for a disabled man in his mid-30s who is a quadriplegic.

This man’s mother is overbearing. We planned a little party for the nurses and our patient, and his mother showed up uninvited. When I offered the young man some of my soda, she told him not to “take food without permission.” I responded that he had my permission. A little while later, Mom picked up her son’s spoon and tasted his soup. I teased her about it, and she responded rudely. She told me to stop talking and not to speak to her that way. It was demeaning.

I realize she has had a hard life, but that doesn’t mean she can treat me this way. She’s self-centered and controlling. She has fired plenty of nurses in the past for “transgressions” that had nothing to do with the care of her son. We’ve given each other the silent treatment since. But I’m concerned that my patient feels the stress and that it will give his mother an excuse to fire me. Does she owe me an apology, or do I owe her one? -California Nurse Dear Nurse: You are the employee. If you want to keep your job and create a less stressful environment, please tell the mother that you are sorry you upset her, because that was not your intent. Ask if you can wipe the slate clean. Be sincere. And then remember in the future that this woman needs to be treated with more formality. Don’t try to be friendly. Simply be professional.

Dear Annie: This is another answer to “Losing My Religion,” the husband whose wife is always late. My wife was the same way.

It took me 30 years to figure out that the problem wasn’t organizational skills, but a power play. Nobody could go anywhere until my wife said so. Now I ask, “Do you want to go or not?” We either arrive on time or I arrive solo. -- Older but Wiser Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE A Taxing Endeavor Dear Readers: It’s TAX SEASON, and the April 15 deadline will be here in a blink of an eye! Here are a few hints from the Internal Revenue Service to make filing your taxes as smooth as possible: * Gather all needed documents before you start your taxes -- not only your W-2s and 1099s, but also forms needed for adjustments and deductions: education and childcare costs, interest payments, job expenses, etc. * If you are unsure about doing your own taxes, get a professional’s help. Professionals often can help get credits and deductions you didn’t know you qualified for. * Double- and triple-check your work. Go over the numbers again to make sure you entered everything correctly. Make sure every place that needs a signature is signed. You wouldn’t want your refund to be delayed because you forgot to sign. * If mailing your return, do not send in original documents.

Send copies, and keep the originals in case there is a problem.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, March 21, 2014: This year you tend to focus on one person at a time, instead of the group as a whole. This trait could be prevalent in meetings. If you are single, someone might be quite intrigued by you and by everything that comes along with you.

Not until July will Cupid be in your neighborhood. Any time after that is when you could encounter Mr. or Ms. Right. Do not make a commitment before August. If you are attached, come summer, the heat will fuel your passion.

People who do not know you will be sure the two of you are newfound lovers.

SAGITTARIUS can be a source of endless information.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Handle a personal matter in the morning. You will want to take off or schedule some time out of town in the afternoon. If you have been considering signing up for a class or sprucing up your resume, the evening is the perfect time. Tonight: The more exotic, the better.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Others steal the stage right now. In the morning, everyone will want your time. The good news is that, by the afternoon, you will have isolated the one person you choose to share your time with. Your relationship could build to a new level. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Ask for more information regarding a health or work-related matter. Honor a change with a certain issue, and a relationship will flourish as a result. By the afternoon, you could discover the importance of taking the lead with a relationship. Tonight: Make the first move.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Allow your imagination to come out in the morning. Your focus might be on making plans, but confusion seems to surround an important matter involving a foreigner, legal matters and/or communication. Your ability to read between the lines will emerge.

Tonight: Do for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could have a difficult time leaving your home, yet once you do, your more playful side will emerge. Use your ability to discuss a heavy issue while making light of it. Depending on the outcome, you might want to change direction. Tonight: Act as if it were Friday night.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Tension builds to a new level.

Others could find you confusing at best.

Recognize what is happening behind the scenes, as you might not have a clear vision of an interaction right now. A discussion might be a moot issue today if you can’t see eye to eye. Tonight: Mosey on home.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You are likely to have little choice in a work-related matter. A superior could play out his or her role in the problem. Communication will flourish, but everyone seems to be speaking a different language. Maintain your sense of humor, and everything will work out.

Tonight: TGIF! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your imagination could carry you far; however, getting concrete results might be more important right now. A matter involving a child or loved one could be costly. When it comes to a financial demand, you might feel quite tense. Tonight: Head out to celebrate the weekend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You beam and draw many people to you. Listen to your instincts, and you will be more on target than you could have imagined. Your strength of personality and need for freedom could directly conflict with someone else’s demands; try to minimize the problem.

Tonight: Relax.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could hear from others how much you might be needed by a loved one. The person in question seems to be unable to share his or her feelings.

Your sixth sense is generally right, but you can’t depend solely on that right now. Tonight: If you want to make it an early night, please do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH How you manage a problem could be very different from how you

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

anticipated handling it this morning. Look to your long-term goals, and you will succeed. Use caution with your finances, as it might be difficult to rectify a mistake after it happens.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You’ll go with the flow in the morning; however, you might appear to have a problem seeing the big picture in the afternoon. Perhaps what is stressing you out is what a boss or older relative wants from you. You could feel conflicted.

Tonight: Do not act on confusion.
