VOL. 84 NO. 110

BOSTON – State Senator Benjamin B. Downing (DPittsfield) is seeking local artists to participate in art shows in Boston and downtown Pittsfield.

Downing, along with his Senate colleagues with office space on the 4 East wing of the State House, have secured the approval of the Office of the Senate President to decorate their 4th floor hallway walls with creative works by artists who live in their districts.

Thousands of visitors come to the Massachusetts State House each week. The building, which is both the seat of state government and a historic attraction, is known as “the People’s House” and is open to the public Monday through Friday. Free tours are given daily during business hours.

The 4 East exhibition will be installed on June 15th by the Senate Business Office; it is scheduled to be on display for six months.

Other participating offices include those of Senator Joan Lovely (D- Salem), Senator John Keenan (D- Quincy), Senator Barbara L’Italien (DAndover) and Senator Kenneth Donnelly (D- Arlington).

Additionally, since 2007 Downing’s Local Artist Exhibition Program has provided artists from the 52 communities in his Berkshire, Hampshire, Franklin & Hampden District two venues

By DENISE LAVOIE AP Legal Affairs Writer BOSTON (AP) — Testimony in the death penalty trial of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was suspended Thursday because of a sick juror.

Judge George O’Toole Jr. announced that the juror has a “temporary illness” but is expected to return when court resumes Monday.

Tsarnaev, 21, is on trial for his life. He was convicted this month of all 30 charges against him, including 17 that carry the possibility of the death penalty. The bombings on April 15, 2013, killed three people and injured more than 260 others, many of whom lost limbs.

Tsarnaev’s Russian relatives were expected to testify Thursday but are now likely to testify Monday. In all, five relatives — all from Russia — are expected to testify for the defense.

Seventh-grade video finalist seeks support Governor

By AMY PORTER Correspondent WESTFIELD – Kealyn Matuszczak, 13, is a seventhgrader from North Middle School and one of three finalists in a national Memorial Day video contest sponsored by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (VVMF).

Matuszczak answered the question, “What does honor in times of war look like?” by interviewing four local veterans from WWII, the Vietnam War, Operation Enduring Freedom and Afghanistan. The other two finalists are eleventh-graders from Florida and New York State. The grand prize winner will be determined by the greatest number of votes gathered on social media and voting closes on Sunday.

Matuszczak said she was inspired by her great-grandfather, Charles Allard, who served in WWII, and is one of the veterans featured in the video. Also featured are Ramon Diaz, Jr., and John Velis of Westfield, and James Laverty of Chicopee.

BOSTON – Governor Charlie Baker and Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito, joined by Attorney General Maura Healey, unveiled an executive order to re-launch the Governor’s Council to address sexual assault and domestic violence. The executive order elevates the council to the Governor’s Office and names Polito as the chair. Over the next year, the council will be charged with implementing Chapter 260 Domestic Violence legislation, enacted in 2014 and reviewing programs aimed at reducing sexual assault and domestic violence in the Commonwealth.

“During the final days of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, I am pleased to sign an executive order aimed at helping individuals and children live a life free of sexual assault and domestic violence,” said Baker. “Our charge is to improve prevention, enhance support and demand accountability for perpetrators to ensure they can no longer hurt others.”

The new council will set and report on annual goals and recommendations related to the Commonwealth’s funding, programs and best practices for the response, See Council, Page 8

Tech students honored at consortium for undergraduate research WESTFIELD – Imagine a map on your computer screen with the 13 colonies, preloaded with facts relating to each colony that can easily be expanded by teachers and students. Or imagine you can sit at your computer in Massachusetts and measure coastal erosion in California. These are just two of the topics Westfield State University department of computer and information science (DCIS) students Gordon Hall ’15 and Tibor Mirkovic ’15 explored for their undergraduate research projects. Both projects were accepted into this year’s Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges Northeastern Region Director of CIT Linda Zayac, Karen Works, and Gordon (CCSCNE) conference, held Hall. (Photo submitted) from April 17-18 at College of

the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass.

CCSCNE, formed in 1996, is the northeastern region of the national Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges (CCSC), and serves one of the largest regions of CCSC. The annual conference is held to bring together faculty, staff, and students to exchange ideas and information regarding undergraduate computing curriculum in a small academic environment.

This was the first year Westfield State students have presented at the consortium, which reflects highly on the quality of the university’s DCIS program and its students.

Westfield State students dominate shoe drive WESTFIELD – When Westfield State student and Circle K member Rebecca Talamini ’15 organized the Soles4Souls shoe drive, she hoped students would collect 150 pairs.

Instead, they collected five times that amount. In total, 881 pairs of shoes and 35 single shoes (donated to amputees) were collected.

“The outpouring of community support was overwhelming,” Talamini said.

Circle K Club, a Kiwanis-affiliated organization of university students, placed donation boxes around campus, at Paper Mill Elementary School (with help from the K-Kids Club), and at South Middle School. South Middle School’s drive, led by Dianna Stutzhuk, Shaunessey Lambert, and Elise Urbanski, collected 200 pairs for Soles4Souls.

The donations were given to Soles4Souls, a global not-for-profit institution dedicated to fighting the devastating impact and perpetuation of poverty. Soles4Souls advances its anti-poverty mission by collecting new and used shoes and clothing and distributing the donations to people in need. Some donations are sold to carefully selected micro-enterprise organizations to support ultra-small

businesses in countries like Haiti where there are virtually no jobs to generate personal income.

To cut shipping costs, Talamini, a native of East Windsor, Conn., drove six and half hours round trip to bring the shoes to the nearest drop-off location in Franklin, NJ. Talamini first learned about Soles4Souls at an international conference for Circle K in Nashville.

There she learned that the organization was looking for colleges to help contribute to their mission to keep shoes out of landfills around Earth Day. An environmental science major, Talamini was immediately drawn in.

“As an environmental science major, we study the questions about how to make best use of the earth’s resources as well as to examine strategies to prevent unnecessary waste,” Talamini said. “This was an opportunity to take the information we learn in class and apply it to a real-world situation that makes a significant impact.”

According to Talamini, those who receive the donations greatly benefit from having a new pair of shoes.

“For the kids, having a pair of shoes allows them go to school and helps

Talamini said she feels a sense of pride in her peers for the successful drive.

“Knowing that Westfield State is

responsible for preventing the waste sends out a message that the university is becoming more sustainable and going green,” Talamini said. “I hope Circle K continues to host a shoe drive to benefit Soles4Souls every year to help out

16 co-workers at New York company split $58M lottery jackpot NEW YORK (AP) — Sixteen coworkers at a New York City biopharmaceuticals company have won a $58 million Mega Millions jackpot.

New York State Lottery officials said Thursday the colleagues call themselves the Lucky 16 Trust and pooled their money before the March 24 drawing.

Most of the employees come from New York and New Jersey. One travels from her home in Venice, California. They’ll split the funds.

Ophthotech Corp. spokeswoman Evelyn Harrison says members of the winning group work in all parts of the company, from senior to administrative posts. She says the employees have been pooling funds since 2010 to play the lottery, each pitching in $4 weekly to buy tickets.

Worker Matthew Jung says after they won they huddled in a conference room to let the news sink in. He says nobody accomplished much that day.

Police: Toddler lived in home with heroin, needles in reach GREENFIELD, Mass.

(AP) — Police say a man is in custody after officers found heroin and drug paraphernalia at his Greenfield apartment and evidence that a child lived there.

Prosecutors say 39-yearold Everett Kendrick was charged with possession of heroin with intent to distribute and child endangerment following the Wednesday raid.

He was held on $5,000 pending arraignment Friday.

It’s not clear if he has a lawyer.

Police say they recovered 42 bags of heroin, 19 packets of Suboxone and an electronic scale inside the apartment.

Officers also discovered evidence that a toddler was living there with Kendrick and his girlfriend, although the child was not present during the raid.

Authorities say more than 10 uncapped needles, some containing liquid suspected to be heroin, were located in the bathroom within a child’s reach.

Club features artistic accomplishments

By ERICA FLYNN Greater Westfield Boys & Girl Club WESTFIELD – The Fine Arts program held at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Westfield encourages artistic expression among club members.

Three days a week from 4-6 p.m., members age 6-18 meet in the cultural enrichment center to explore activities allowing them to experience the use and creation of various art mediums such as charcoal, pastels, watercolors, mixed media, sculpture, collages, and bead making.

Westfield State University art students run workshops at the club that help members develop the fine art skills they learn through this program. This program encourages youth to use art as an outlet to express themselves and reminds members that there is no wrong way to create art.

Thanks to funding in the amount of $1,750 from the Westfield Cultural Council, whose funding supports various community projects in the arts, humanities and sciences annually, the club’s fine arts program was able to provide lowincome youth the various art supplies needed to allow them to be creative and feel a sense of pride in the artwork they produced.

Trial The postponement of their testimony means they will stay in the Boston area for another few days.

Earlier this week, a prosecutor urged the judge to press Tsarnaev’s defense attorneys to make sure his relatives testified by Thursday because 16 FBI employees have been assigned to guard and protect them while they are in the U.S. “It’s an enormous expense and distraction for the agency, and that’s just part of the expense that the government has endured,” Assistant U.S. Attorney William Weinreb said during a sidebar discussion in court Monday with Tsarnaev’s lawyers and the judge, according to a transcript that was made public.

Weinreb said then that the FBI planned to return the relatives to Russia Friday. They arrived in Boston on April 23.

Tsarnaev and his family moved to the U.S. from Russia

At the program’s completion, a fine arts exhibit was held at the club allowing all 75 participants to be recognized for their efforts.

Art majors from Westfield State University served as judges to select pieces to move on to a regional competition. This regional exhibit was held at the Boys & Girls Club of Fitchburg and Leominster in April.

From there, 37 pieces were chosen to be sent to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s National Headquarters to be displayed, judged and selected for the National Fine Arts Exhibit.

The artwork is then displayed throughout the ensuing year at BGCA events.

Being selected at the local exhibit as a winner to continue on to the regional judging events and exhibits is a huge accomplishment.

“I’ve never had my art selected to move on to something this big before,” said club member Alysa Rodriquez.

She is very excited to have had her collage entitled “The Hawaiian Sunset” chosen to move on to the regional exhibit.

There, her artwork along with the artwork of others, will proudly represent the creatively artistic members of the B&GC of Greater Westfield.

Continued from Page 1 in 2002.

Testimony on Wednesday was largely focused on Dzhokhar as a child. His former teachers testified that he was a hardworking boy with a bright future.

The defense has zeroed in on the role Dzhokhar’s older brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan, played in the bombings.

Tamerlan died days after the attacks following a shootout with police.

Dzhokhar’s lawyers have portrayed Tamerlan as the mastermind of the attack and a domineering influence on Dzhokhar.

To illustrate that, the defense introduced a photo-

graph of a cherubic-looking Dzhokhar when he was about 9 years old. In the photo, he is sitting on a bench next to Tamerlan, who is about 16.

Tamerlan has his arm around him, while Dzhokhar rests his

arm on his older brother’s leg.

Prosecutors have said the brothers were partners in the bombing, which was designed to retaliate against the U.S. for its actions in Muslim lands.

DOJ announces Why Hillary’s Embracing Bernie $20 million body- As long as Warren’s not part the mix, Clinton can camera program of happily split the progressives

By NICK GASS Politico.com The Justice Department announced a $20 million pilot program for police body cameras on Friday.

“This body-worn camera pilot program is a vital part of the Justice Department’s comprehensive efforts to equip law enforcement agencies throughout the country with the tools, support, and training they need to tackle the 21st century challenges we face,” Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in a statement. “Body-worn cameras hold tremendous promise for enhancing transparency, promoting accountability, and advancing public safety for law enforcement officers and the communities they serve.”

It’s the first component of President Barack Obama’s $75 million Body Worn Camera Partnership Program, which he announced late last year.

DOJ said that it plans to distribute 50 awards to lawenforcement agencies, and about a third of those will go to smaller police departments. Departments must first develop an implementation plan and a detailed training policy before purchasing cameras with the grants, which will require a 50-50 in-kind or cash match.

The request comes under the legal authority of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets of Act of 1968, which authorizes the office of attorney general a maximum of $20 million to help local governments modernize law enforcement technologies.

The program will be administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Justice Department’s Office of Justice Programs, according to a press release.

By BILL SCHER Politico.com It was only a tweet, but one could detect a certain jubilation in Hillary Clinton’s voice as she “welcomed” Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders—the senator so far to the left he’s not even a registered Democrat—into the presidential race. “I agree with Bernie. Focus must be on helping America’s middle class.

GOP would hold them back,” Clinton tweeted. To be sure everyone noticed, she signed the tweet “H.” This is really me talking, everybody!

You can bet that, if it had been Elizabeth Warren, there would have been less jubilation in Clintonworld.

Why is Hillary happy? First of all, Bernie has no chance of winning the Democratic nomination, whereas a Warren might actually have a shot. Second, the quixotic nature of his campaign will all but ensure that resistant progressives go over to Clinton sooner rather than later. Finally, he is the first of a bunch of progressive-come-latelies, Lincoln Chafee, Jim Webb and Martin O’Malley, whose main achievement will be to split the anti-Hillary left. With Clinton generally polling around 60 percent among Democrats, having four candidates divvy up the remaining tally is a recipe for a Hillary coronation. If Clinton doesn’t have to sweat, then she doesn’t owe anybody anything.

Above all, the weakness of Bernie Sanders and her other likely challengers virtually ensures that she will not be forced to adopt policies so progressive that her cautious campaign team fears they could cost her the election in November.

Indeed, Warren’s hovering over the race has put more pres-

Brian Williams Knows He’s Dead

By JACK SHAFER Politico.com At this point, Brian Williams knows he’s dead: He’s simply negotiating the terms of his burial.

For a brief moment earlier this week, it looked as though Williams might have found a champion in Andrew Lack, the newly returned chief of NBC News. According to a blindsourced story in the Daily News, Lack was hoping to reseat his old friend Williams in the network’s anchor chair. But whoever launched that trial balloon—presumably a Williams loyalist—must have been ducking for cover the next day when the Hollywood Reporter and the New York Post sent highvelocity rounds through the Daily News item with a blindsourced story of its own. “They want Brian to resign,” an anonymous source told the Post. “If they have to fire him, they can’t control him.” That came just days after the Washington Post’s Paul Farhi broke news of the DC bureau’s “strong opposition” to Williams returning to the anchor chair.

The dueling leaks, which commenced even before the network suspended Williams for telling tall tales, might look like symmetrical warfare. But they’re not. NBC News is part of Comcast, which has a market cap of $147 billion. Just before this winter’s unpleasantness, Williams had negotiated a fiveyear contract for as much as $10 million a year. Although NBC leakers fed the press speculation about Comcast springing the contract’s “morality clause,” which allows cancelation if the event Williams brought himself “public disrepute, contempt, scandal or ridicule,” Comcast doesn’t want a debilitating public fight such as it endured when it pushed Ann Curry out of Today. If it could rid itself of the Williams embarrassment (and the battle of the leaks, as the Wrap put it) by giving the newsman a big chunk of that $50 million now and an Uber prepaid account to vanish by midnight, it probably would.

Who can tell from the leaks whether Williams wants his job back or if he’s merely jockeying for the best termination deal he can get? Hell, he might not even know for sure that he wants to return and suffer the risk of croaking his viewers in blood clots of laughter.

The leaks coming from NBC News weren’t intended for Brian Williams as much as they were for his lawyer, Robert Barnett, who officiates at both hirings and firings as power players make their entrances and departures at media jobs in Washington and New York. The message appears to have been, ‘It’s up to you, Bob, how much more injury we do to your client’s reputation. Be a smart counselor and take the money we’ll offer in a couple weeks; we have no interest in Brian’s rehab.’

In the end, there wasn’t any reason to fight for BriWi. Lester Holt seems to be doing fine, and there appear to be all too

many people within NBC happy to see Williams gone. (Rule of thumb for all laborers: Most of the people you work with would be happy to see you go.)

Williams can’t be compared to 60 Minutes reporter Lara Logan, who was similarly suspended by CBS in late 2013 when after her special report on Benghazi disintegrated. Say what you will about Logan getting hoodwinked over Benghazi, she had the scaffolding of a sturdy résumé to support her: She had reported from the Iraq War battlefield for years and dropped into conflicts around the world; she put herself in harm’s way during the Egypt uprising, where she was sexually assaulted. It was possible for CBS News to rehabilitate Logan because her career was built on a real foundation, and to argue that the Benghazi reporting was an aberration. Williams, a charismatic newsreader of no distinction as a reporter, has no such work summary to protect him from critics’ blows. All he has is the lopsided grin, the great timing and the confident crooning.

And that’s not enough. Everybody in the news business is replaceable, but TV news people even more so because they’re ultimately judged not by the quality of their work but by the ratings they attract. As NBC News executives decided that Meet the Press host David Gregory had to go because his ratings sucked, he became the object of a leak war that ran on for months until he was dropped under the sod and the network moved a fresh newsman into his crib.

The Logan and Williams episodes reminds us of how emotionally charged we become in our TV news people, even those of us who are emotionally lacking. Perhaps we become invested because the TV news people always look us straight in the eye, even when we avert their gaze in modesty. Or perhaps it’s because their talented voices sooth and their well-scripted words stir in us the primordial tales of joy and suffering. At its core, all television news is drama, and even the least discerning audience member grows fond of some performers and contemptuous of others, sometimes for no reason and sometimes for good reason.

Logan will never outrun the failure and dishonor of her Benghazi story. But because of her background, the scandal’s heat somehow anneals her persona into something larger and tougher. One imagines she’s learned her lesson and has more great reporting ahead of her. The Williams heat, on the other hand, only reduces his career into a sad Silly Putty mound. The joke is on the joker.

Lara Logan is the reporter who made a big, big mistake.

Brian Williams is the reporter who is a mistake.

sure on Hillary than anyone actually preparing to join it.

Needless to say, Bernie Sanders was not the first choice of progressives who crave a primary challenge. Progressives all like Bernie. But they love Elizabeth. Bernie has been teasing a run for months, and has been fighting the left-wing fight inside Congress for decades. Yet groups like MoveOn.org ignored him in favor of a formal–and by all indications, futile–campaign to draft the first-term senator from Massachusetts.

Why so little love for Bernie? He and Warren share the same ideology and agenda. The two have both achieved first-name only status among the left’s rank-and-file. (Sanders has long held court on Thom Hartmann’s national radio show, mixing it up with callers for the weekly segment, “Brunch With Bernie.”)

Bernie can even boast of a stronger electoral record compared to Elizabeth. When he first won statewide, back in 1990, Vermont voters simultaneously elected a Republican for governor and two years earlier backed George H. W. Bush over its Massachusetts neighbor Michael Dukakis. That year, the political independent and self-described socialist reached out to conservatives and secured the endorsement of the NRA to help him oust Vermont’s lone U.S. representative. Warren, on the other hand, didn’t have to do any heavy coalition building to win back Ted Kennedy’s old Senate seat.

Yet Warren is the one that progressives believe has the secret sauce that can sell the progressive message across ideological lines. Conservatives may mock her as a Harvard professor, but on the stump she comes across more like a regular middleclass Jane, pithily distilling widespread frustration at a system skewed in favor of Wall Street.

Sanders, on the other hand, speaks in the leaden language of the old-school left-wing activist that he is. (“That was a depressing speech,” one fellow traveler said after a recent stem-winder.) He may have won over some right-wing voters while retail politicking in Vermont, but few progressives believe he can replicate that across the nation.

As to the other progressives who are likely to run, all have suspect credentials. Chafee and Webb are former Republicans.

O’Malley had a solid reputation as a left-of-center technocrat while governor of Maryland, though in the wake of the Baltimore riots, his mayoral tenure is being remembered for high incarceration rates and not low poverty rates.

Yet all three now are singing out of Bernie’s populist songbook and all have the potential to diminish his ability to consolidate and maximize the progressive anti-Hillary vote.

O’Malley can appeal to Hillary skeptics who want a safer, button-down alternative. Chafee has suggested he wants to emphasize foreign policy, which may entice liberals most aggrieved by Clinton’s perceived hawkishness. Webb, like Sanders, believes Democrats need white working-class voters who spurned Obama to ensure an electoral majority. Unlike Sanders, Webb’s pitch is more tribal. The author of a book celebrating his fellow Appalachian Scots-Irish, Webb is fond of saying “If you’re poor and white, you’re out of sight.” Such racially competitive victimhood may not help Webb get far with in the multicultural Democratic electorate, but he could make it harder for Sanders, as well as Clinton, to make inroads with that constituency.

Before Sanders took the plunge it was clear that others would jump in. The question that Sanders had to ask himself was: Would it be better for progressives if I get behind one of the other challengers to minimize division, or am I the best champion of the progressive agenda?

Understandably, Sanders saw himself as the real deal. He has a fully fleshed out worldview, fingering the “billionaire See Bernie, Page 8

Woman accidentally shot in face by cop sues for $1.5 million SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A pregnant mother of two who was accidentally shot in the face by a Massachusetts police officer investigating a possible break-in has sued the officer, the police department and the town for $1.5 million.

The Republican newspaper reports that Britteney Miles filed the lawsuit in federal court Wednesday.

Officials say Officer Danielle Petrangelo’s gun accidentally fired after Miles opened her front door for police while holding her young daughter in 2012. Miles was shot in the face and chin. Her lawyer says she’s still recovering, and a doctor told her she may need a prosthetic jaw.

Petrangelo was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing and left the police department. Officials have never disclosed the circumstances of her departure.

Messages seeking comment were left for town and police officials.

For some people, it is more difficult than for others,” says Marlene Stocks, founder of Senior Transition Services in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, who offers help to people like author, Genine Babakian - adult children trying to cope with dismantling and selling the first place they called home.

Packing up emotions with your childhood home

By GENINE BABAKIAN Associated Press When it came time to pack up my childhood home, it was my mother’s wedding dress that put me over the edge.

Mellowed to a uniform shade of custard, it sat in the box it had been stored in for over six decades. Dislodged from its attic perch, it was shuttled around from room to room as my brothers and I chipped away at belongings our parents had collected over a lifetime.

We mostly managed to rise above the sibling tension that often accompanies the liquidation of an estate. But as the only daughter, I tacitly became the one to decide what to do with the wedding dress.

And I put off that decision until the rooms held nothing but exposed picture hooks on bare walls.

“The most challenging is the thought of letting go. For some people, it is more difficult than for others,” says Marlene Stocks, founder of Senior Transition Services in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, who offers help to people like me — adult children trying to cope with dismantling and selling the first place they called home.

After my mother passed away, my father stuck it out in the house for as long as he could. But his move to assisted living required the next generation to step up and empty the family home as quickly as possible.

We divided heirlooms; collected papers; identified items to be sold, stored, donated. We took so many trips to the dump that they asked us not to come back.

The process was not without its high points. My mother was a sentimental collector, and the house was full of clutter. You never knew what might be lurking in a drawer or closet. In one dresser, I found a Ziploc baggie full of baby teeth, The New York Times from the day President Kennedy was assassinated, and my grandmother’s Armenian Bible, dated 1906.

The sheer volume of letters and memorabilia was both staggering and heartwarming. That haiku I wrote in third grade, the parentteacher conference report that revealed my trouble with homonyms, the Valentine’s Day puzzle I cut out by hand.

Over the course of a few months, we thinned out the contents of the house. Throughout the process, I fell into one of two modes: cold-blooded purger or weepy sentimentalist. With ice running through my veins, I discarded Jose, the monkey head carved out of a coconut that I got as a Christmas present in 1968. My mother’s complete collection of Gourmet magazines — gone. I made the executive decision not to save my grandfather’s crumbling medical diploma.

But my icy efficiency could melt suddenly and unexpectedly.

Something as insignificant as a torn envelope with a note scribbled in my mother’s hand might instigate the shift. Or trying to figure out what to do with her wedding dress.

TAKING INVENTORY With new clients, Stocks begins with a conversation, “almost like therapy, over a nice cup of tea. We take it slow in the beginning. We talk about the things they’d like to keep; the things we may be able to give to family members. The things that could be sold or donated.

Only then, at the end of the process, do we talk about throwing anything away.”

“That is one of biggest concerns of my clients,” she adds. “They are worried that some (other) family member will come in and throw things away.”

SIBLING STRESS Professionals who assist in downsizing and relocations warn that family dynamics can be volatile. There may be one sibling who wants to throw everything away, while another may drag out the process indefinitely, finding nostalgic value in every tchotchke.

And, of course, there are always those who want the biggest slice of the pie.

Parents can make things simpler by divvying up the valuables in advance. But for families without a plan, a personal property appraiser can help.

“Children have a tendency to believe the majority of what mom and dad have is far more valuable than it actually is. People often think because it is old it is valuable,” says Julie Hall of Charlotte, North Carolina, who has been an estate liquidator and personal property appraiser for 25 years.

At the same time, Hall warns, you don’t want to act until you know what things are worth.

(Genine Babakian via AP)

CALLING IN THE PROFESSIONALS Once heirlooms are appraised, family members can divide them more equitably or know the value of items they wish to sell. Then they can call a second professional: the estate liquidator, who helps sell items of value, and donate or discard the rest.

Hall, author of “The Boomer Burden: Dealing With Your Parents’ Lifetime Accumulation of Stuff” (Thomas Nelson, 2008), has seen her share of Wedgewood china, painted porcelain and figurines.

Emptying closets and crawling through attics, she has also uncovered some memorable finds. Once, in a shopping bag full of wrapping paper and ribbon, she discovered a stash of platinum and sapphire jewelry. In another home, she found loose diamonds hidden in used Kleenex.

Her find reminded me of the gold-and-opal pin I happened to notice in an empty dresser drawer that was heading toward the auction house. I retrieved it at the last minute, slipping it into my pocket.

As for the wedding dress, I still haven’t found a solution. Perhaps I’ll leave it in my attic, and let my children deal with it in the decades to come.

For 100 years, celebrities have helped urge animal kindness

By SUE MANNING Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — These days, people pay piles of cash to pamper their pets, but problems remain on the farm and in the slaughterhouse, on movie sets and at

animal shelters — even in the wild.

That’s why the American Humane Association is touting its past to move animal welfare forward. It’s celebrating 100 years of Be Kind to Animals Week, which draws

celebrities, politicians and everyday enthusiasts each May to raise awareness about the plight of animals.

Day spas and designer duds for dogs are the norm now, but inhumane treatment springs up in places from

puppy mills to jungles, where animals are killed for their tusks or pelts. In ways, there’s more work to do than when kindness week started in 1915.

Celebrities have asked people to combat different prob-

lems throughout the years, and history shows notables from Eleanor Roosevelt to Shirley Temple and John Wayne have a soft spot for helping animals.

No star is taking the lead this year, but the week will be

Home sales remain essentially flat in March BOSTON (AP) — Sales of single-family homes in Massachusetts remained essentially flat last month when compared to the year-ago March, despite a winter of recordsetting snowfall that had the potential to disrupt the process, two organizations that track the market announced Tuesday.

Sales of single-family homes were up almost 1 percent, according to The Warren Group, a Boston-based publisher of real estate data.

The Waltham-based Massachusetts Association of Realtors reported a dip of less than one-quarter of 1 percent compared to March 2014.

“The small increase in single-family homes in March is a significant and hopeful sign of life in the recovering real estate market. These homes were shopped and deals signed during January and some in February, just as the snowstorms were beginning to roll in,” said Timothy Warren Jr., CEO of The Warren Group. “This indicates that there are motivated buyers and sellers out there, and they are both eager to make deals happen.”

Both organizations also reported slight increases in median prices.

The median price of a single-family home in Massachusetts rose about 2 percent to $320,000, according to the Realtors.

The median price rose less than 1 percent to $317,400, according to The Warren Group.

The organizations use slightly different numbers in their calculations.

The median price of condominiums jumped about 3 percent in March, both groups reported, but while The Warren Group

Crabapples come in many varieties Some aren’t even crabby

By LEE REICH Associated Press Crabapple branches drenched in white, pink or red blossoms are a strong enticement to go out and buy one of these trees. First, however, put a little thought into which variety you plant.

There are about 900 varieties on the market, and planting a crabapple is a decision that lasts for decades.

To begin with, think beyond just the blossoms.

For all their beauty, they are with us only a week or two each year. Crabapple fruits can be almost as decorative as the blossoms. And you also might consider the tree’s form, eventual size, and leaf color both in summer and fall.

But hold on: Before you are swayed by any of these shows of beauty, make disease resistance — yes, disease resistance — your first consideration in choosing a variety to plant.

Crabapples, like eating apples, are generally susceptible to fire blight, powdery mildew, cedar apple rust and scab diseases. A tree with splotched, curled or dead leaves is not a pretty sight.

And if severe, a disease can actually kill your plant.

Fortunately, a number of beautiful crabapple varieties are resistant to one or more of these diseases. Unfortunately, a number of disease-susceptible varieties are too readily available. Steer clear of disease-susceptible varieties such as Almey, Eleyi, Red Silver and Hopa. Disease, poor form and short-lived flowers are all reasons to “kick the Hopa habit,” as my old horticulture professor used to say.

CONSIDER THE FRUITS With the field narrowed to disease-resistant varieties, focus next on the fruits.

Fruits of some varieties offer months of pleasure, as the golden or scarlet orbs dangle from the stems from autumn well into or even through the winter. The variety Calocarpa, with the unwieldy botanical name Malus x Zumi var.

Calocarpa, clings to its glistening, half-inch-in-diameter fruits from late summer through December. Indian Summer is another variety notable for showy fruits, and, in this case, rosy red flowers and good fall color also.

You might also enjoy the sight of birds in late fall and into winter, flitting around the branches as they enjoy the fruits of some varieties.

good cooking varieties include Cranberry, Hyslop, Transcendent and Redflesh, the last with fruit that is red right to the core.

MANY QUALITIES, INCLUDING FRESH FLAVOR In fact, a crabapple fruit does not even have to taste sour; the only thing that makes a crabapple a crabapple is fruit size. Any apple less than 2 inches across is by definition a crabapple.

Centennial, Chestnut, Kerr and Wickson are crabapples that you will want to chomp into. The fruits are small for apples but large for crabapples.

As for form and leaf color, some crabapple trees are upright and large; most are rounded and medium-size. If you want a dainty dwarf tree, plant Coralburst, which has double pink flowers followed by small, reddish-orange fruits. How about White Cascade for a weeping crabapple, this one a waterfall of white blossoms that are followed by pea-size, yellow fruits? Royalty has the most dramatic leaf color: glossy purple in spring, greenish purple in summer, then brilliant purple in fall. The flowers are few, but are dark crimson, almost purple, and followed by — you guessed it — purple fruits.

reported a 6 percent drop in sales, the Realtors reported a 14 percent drop.

Better spring weather is encouraging for the market.

“While the many storms kept sellers from putting their homes on the market in March, pent-up seller demand should translate into a very active spring,” said Realtors President Corinne Fitzgerald. “This activity will be good for the economy and the real estate community as a whole.”

Birds particularly relish the small, red fruits of Sargent crabapple, a relatively small tree that is also pest-resistant.

Although the “crab” in crabapple means “sour,” a number of varieties bear fruit good enough to eat, and surely good enough to make into jelly, especially if they are large enough to justify the effort.

The variety Dolgo is widely available, and if you grow it you’ll have to decide whether to enjoy the sight of the fluorescent red fruits dangling from the branches or the taste of them in the jelly jar. Other

class” as the problem and ridding money from politics as the solution. He has a 12-point action plan for revitalizing the middle-class. He has been talking about these economic issues, inside the Capitol and over the airwaves, on a daily basis for decades, with an eye toward appealing beyond the progressive base.

But while Sanders might give the most comprehensive onehour speech on how to save the middle class, it’s less certain he knows how to move Hillary Clinton in his direction, or if that is even his underlying goal. (He insists, of course, that he’s running “to win” and “not running against Hillary Clinton.”)

As we have seen in the escalating fight over trade policy, Hillary can nod in the direction of the populists without embracing specifics. The left can demand she take a stand on the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the “fast track” negotiation authority. But she will give you vague principles for what a trade deal should look like and skip the part about fast track, for as long as she can.

A strong primary challenger can make it harder for Hillary to skirt specifics. But much of the Sanders’ agenda and rhetoric doesn’t put Hillary on the spot.

For example, on the day he announced, Sanders’ Twitter feed declared: “Every candidate for president has got to answer one simple question. Are you prepared to take on the billionaire class whose greed is destroying the middle class and, through Citizens United, our American democratic system?” This is a softball question disguised as a hardball.

Hillary can easily answer, “Yes!” without committing to any specific policy, or even swallowing the class-based rhetoric her advisers want to avoid.

Other elements of his “Agenda for America” similarly give challengers plenty of latitude. He wants “a progressive tax system in this country which is based on ability to pay,” “quality education [that’s] affordable for all” and to “lead the world in reversing climate change.”

But certain planks could squeeze Hillary if Sanders decided to drill them. Either you are for expanding Social Security benefits or you’re not. Either you believe Wall Street banks “must be broken up” or you don’t. Clinton’s restraint on trade may have to give way if Sanders hammers her over it.

Yet Bernie is a gentleman, apparently. “I’ve never run a negative ad in my life,” he says. If he continues that streak, many Democrats who fear a bloody primary would be relieved. But many populist progressives who want to push Hillary out of her Establishment comfort zone would not be.

It looks as if they are destined to be disappointed.

Kevin Matuszczak is a letter carrier in Chicopee, “probably one of the best you’ll find,” according to his daughter. Her mother, Chris Tolpa-Matuszczak, is an English supervisor for the Westfield Public Schools.

Kealyn explained that anyone who wants to vote for her video can go on Facebook, YouTube or Twitter and search VVMF to find all three videos. If she wins the contest, she and a parent will go down to Washington D.C. on Memorial Day, and she will present the video in front of the Vietnam War Memorial.

Her father said they will all make the trip if she wins.

Matuszczak is also an accomplished gymnast, who was state champion in her division last year. She has states coming up again in two weeks. She excels in all four events, according to her father.

“I like reading. I like planes. I want to design the interior for jets when I grow up. I also love cats,” she said of her other interests.

prevention and treatment of domestic violence and sexual assault. Consisting of up to 30 members representing providers, advocates, health care, the Attorney General’s Office, law enforcement, the courts and higher education, the Council will meet at minimum every two months, conducting outreach and establishing committees to carry out their tasks. The Executive Director will carry out the day-to-day operations and support for the Council.

“Our hope is to bridge the gap between services and agencies to ensure they can work collaboratively to support survivors and prevent them from homelessness due to domestic violence and sexual assault,” said Polito. “I look forward to working with this council to identify best practices and determine ways to help survivors reach economic security and self-sufficiency.”

The Governor and Lt. Governor were joined

by Healey, Secretary of Health and Human Services Marylou Sudders, Secretary of Public Safety and Security Dan Bennett, Secretary of Housing and Economic Development Jay Ash, the Council’s new Executive Director and several members of the Council named to date.

“I’d like to thank Governor Baker and Lt. Governor Polito for reestablishing this council to oversee the implementation of the domestic violence law that will give important legal protections to victims, increase awareness about domestic violence and sexual assault, help hold offenders accountable for their actions, and improve services for survivors,” sai Healey. “We are committed to working together to make sure that every resident of Massachusetts has the opportunity to live a safe and healthy life, free from violence.”

The Governor and Lt. Governor announced that Tammy Mello, currently the Director of Violence Prevention at the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, will assume the role of Executive Director for the Council.

“I look forward to working with the BakerPolito administration and the Council as we look to end domestic violence and sexual assault,” said Mello. “Education is key to prevention and support and there is much more we can learn from law enforcement, advocates, healthcare providers and survivors in order to make progress towards that goal.”

Between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014, over 2,000 incidents of sexual assault were reported to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s (DPH) Rape Crisis Centers. In Massachusetts, nearly 1 in 6 women and 1 in 21 men report experiencing rape, attempted rape or physical sexual assault in their lifetime according to DPH, with the majority of rapes reported being committed by intimate partners, family members or acquaintances according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nationally, the Surgeon General has declared domestic violence the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15-44, and in Massachusetts, 13 percent of all families entering the Emergency Assistance system cited domestic violence as the reason for homelessness.

“As the state coalition of nearly 60 community based sexual and domestic violence programs in Massachusetts, we look forward to working with the Baker Administration and

the members of this Council to seek solutions in terms of policy and practice that support survivors, hold offenders accountable and prevent abuse in all communities throughout Massachusetts,” said Debra J. Robbin, Executive Director of Jane Doe Inc. and Council Member.

Governor Baker and Lt. Governor Polito have also proclaimed April as Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Hall’s submitted poster portrayed screen captures of the learning objects, such as presentation, practice, simulation, concept models, information, and contextual models. He developed his digital learning objects using HTML and JavaScript, which covered courses ranging from psychology, sociology, and biology to math and computer science.

His research included asking students what they liked or disliked about Blackboard and what helped them learn.

He then measured outcomes via student and professor surveys and presented graphs of the data he collected. His learning object models are currently being used at Westfield State.

“The opportunity to present my work in a symposium setting as I would to peers and professors in the real world was an invaluable experience.

Additionally, the chance to learn about a broad range of subjects being researched by other students and see how we compared was important to our future work,” Hall said.

Mirkovic, from Springfield, Mass., conducted his research on the use of digital images to help measure the amount of erosion in coastal areas. His submitted poster was selected for inclusion in the Undergraduate Research Competition.

When measuring soil erosion, scientists use digital images to measure horizontal and vertical pixels. Current research shows that scientists should start measuring diagonal pixels as well. This process can take a long period of time, which led Mirkovic to develop the Diamond Builder algorithm that can help locate the optimal measurement and pixel configurations and help speed the process along.

“This type of research allows students to work with real world problems and refines communication skills that are critical for computer scientists,” said Works.

Pittsfield wins latest chapter

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Westfield and Pittsfield high school baseball teams renewed their rivalry Thursday night. Unfortunately, for the Bombers things did not go as planned.

Pittsfield came into Bullens Field Thursday and exited with a 10-3 victory.

“It was a long afternoon,” said Westfield coach Rich Discenza, whose team fell behind from the outset.

Chris Sullivan, Sean Moorhouse, and Anthony Clark finished with two hits apiece for the Bombers.

Sydney Rogers went 3-for-4 with a double and 2 runs, Olivia Diamond went 2-for-3, 2 runs, and 3 RBIs, and Brittany Penland notched her first varsity hit, and had two RBIs. In other games, the Southwick JV squad blanked Pathfinder 18-0.

Gators go on offensive tear Renaissance 28, Gateway 21 Erika Wolfe went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and 2 RBIs, Jordan Cooper went 2-for-5 with four runs and two RBIs, and Gabby Dame knocked in four base runners.

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot.

It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore.

But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

Blockbuster matchup on tap for Bombers

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – It is the perfect matchup.

The high school spring sports postseason is still nearly a month away, but one upcoming matchup is sure to have a tournament feel.

On Friday, two unbeaten boys’ volleyball teams – Westfield (10-0) and Chicopee Comprehensive – will collide in a showdown in the Whip City.

The Bombers will host the Western Massachusetts defending champion Colts, beginning at 6:15 p.m.

Westfield kept its hopes for an unbeaten regular season intact when it rallied from a 2-sets-to-1 deficit to escape Agawam with a 25-18, 21-25, 19-25, 25-21, 15-9 victory Tuesday night.

In that game, Westfield fell behind after losing Games 2 and 3, but rallied to win the fourth and fifth sets to remain unbeaten. The Bombers leaned on team leaders Manny Golob and Ryan Bucko, who recorded his 100th career block.

“Agawam definitely came ready to play,” Westfield coach Tyler Wingate said. “We stepped up when we needed to.”

Annie’s Mailbox

By KATHY MITCHELL and MARCY SUGAR

What to do?

Dear Annie: My youngest son is engaged to “Carol,” a lovely young lady. My oldest son, “Mitch,” lives out of state with his partner, “James.” Both are in the wedding party.

Carol has known Mitch for years, is well aware that he’s gay and has no problem with it. However, I’m relatively sure her parents don’t know, and I’m of the opinion that they need to be told before the big event. I’ve tried to casually bring it up with Carol several times, and she always smiles and says, “Don’t worry about Mom and Dad,” and then changes the subject.

The truth of the matter is, I don’t worry about them. They are charming people and pillars of the community. But I don’t want them to be shocked at the wedding when meeting the gay brother and his same-sex spouse. Mitch and James are not into public displays of affection, but they’re obviously not going to ignore each other. Considering the idiotic things people can say, I think Carol’s parents need to be prepared. At my daughter’s wedding years ago, an uncle of her new husband cornered her at the reception and strongly suggested she consider adoption “just in case it’s hereditary.”

I’m considering inviting Carol’s mother to lunch and laying the cards on the table, but my other kids insist I need to stay out of it. Even James, who basically agrees with me, says it has to be Carol’s decision. Is he right? Carol’s parents are going all out for this wedding, and I wouldn’t want a surprise like this to upset them. What to do? -- Mother of the Groom Dear Mother: Your heart is in the right place, but you are talking to the wrong people. Your soon-to-be-married son is the person who should talk to Carol if he thinks her parents need this information in advance. And while surprises should be kept to a minimum at weddings, we don’t really see a problem here. Mitch and James won’t be doing anything disruptive, and there’s nothing you can do about ignorant people like your daughter’s uncle-in-law. You are over-thinking this. Relax. Trust your son and his bride to handle the details, whatever they are.

Dear Annie: I have a quick tip for your readers: My wife and I receive a lot of junk mail. I take all of the junk envelopes, whether they have been opened or not, put a rubber band loosely around one end, stick a pencil or pen under the rubber band, and leave them where my wife and I write notes or grocery lists.

This works great. We haven’t bought note pads in a year. -The Villages, Fla. Dear Villages: For folks on a budget, this is a great way to have spare notepaper handy while recycling. Thanks for the suggestion.

Dear Annie: “Cringing in Exercise Class” pointed out the annoyance of chewing gum while exercising. Gum chewing is dangerous during all sports activity. I am particularly concerned when I witness children and others doing so in the swimming area. As a water safety instructor, I have had to deal with some scary, life-threatening episodes. -- No Gum In the Pool, Please Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@creators.com.

HINTS FROM HELOISE RULES OF THE ROAD Dear Readers: Most of us have taken a ROAD TRIP at some points in our lives.

Whether driving across the country or just a few hours away, here are some hints on driving safety and courtesy: * The left lane is for passing. When driving on a highway or multilane road, use the left lane for passing slower vehicles only. * Pay attention to speed-limit signs!

When passing through a town, speed limits can be lower. * When driving at night, using your high beams can be very helpful to see. Just be sure to dim them whenever you see an oncoming car! * Do not tailgate. It not only reduces the amount of time you have to react, it also is rude. * Be sure to use your signals when changing lanes, turning, etc.

The more information you give other drivers, the more you can reduce the likelihood of an accident happening. * Take breaks! Plan to stop to eat, stretch your legs and rest.

Road trips are a lot of fun. Just remember to be safe out there, and courteous! -- Heloise EMERGENCY CONTACTS Dear Heloise: When I complete a task on my cellphone, I set it on the first page of contacts, where emergency numbers for fire or police are listed. In case of an emergency, I open my phone and hit “Contacts,” and my emergency numbers are available. -- Richard R. in Houston Good advice, but if it’s really an emergency, call 911 first. -Heloise FLUFF UP Dear Heloise: Just one quick step to aid in cleaning that down blanket/comforter or coat. I always add a clean tennis ball or two to the dryer to puff the item back up. -- V.A., Erie, Pa. An old, old hint, and one that many readers swear by. Can’t hurt.

By Jaqueline Bigar

DOG EAT DOUG

SCARY GARY

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, May 1, 2015: This year you have a flair for diplomacy. You seem to choose the right words without saying anything too dramatic or harsh. Your actions follow that same theme, especially when initiated by you. You have a lot of energy and focus on your domestic and personal life, to the point that you could be annoyed if you get involved in a timeconsuming work project. If you are single, date all you want, but mark the period from mid-August to your next birthday as significant. A relationship started during that period will be longlasting. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy just hanging out together. You also might develop a mutual hobby.

LIBRA is gracious.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You will need to defer to others in order to accomplish anything. You might be surprised by how helpful a touch of wit and humor can be. Someone of authority could be very controlling.

You will surprise this person with your unpredictability. Tonight: Uncork your imagination.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You could overextend yourself in an effort to turn a situation around. Call a loved one who cares a lot about you. Work with what appears to be a far-out idea; you’ll see the positives with ease. Someone you respect proves to be more rigid than you thought.

Tonight: Join friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your originality mixed with ingenuity will prove to be today’s problem-solver. You might choose to keep many of your judgments to yourself, as they will not help move a situation forward. Your smile and wit make the impossible nearly possible. Tonight: Be a wild thing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You seem to be coming from an anchored position. Others see where you are coming from and naturally will want to delegate more responsibility to you. Be willing to say “no” if it could have a negative impact on the quality of your personal life. Tonight: TGIF with a favorite person.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Listen to news from various sources. It could be difficult to get only the facts. By the end of the day, you might be chuckling at the many different versions attached to one event.

Recognize your limits, especially with your daily life. Tonight: At a favorite haunt.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Before you head out, be sure to balance your checkbook. A mistake made now easily could mar not only the weekend but also other future happenings. Once you know the lay of the land, you will feel better. Make time for an important discussion. Tonight: Your treat!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Tap into the energy around you in order to draw in more of what you want. Listen to news, and be direct in what you choose to do. Honor a change, and you will be far better off than you originally had thought.

Tonight: All smiles wherever you are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Intuitively you know it is best to maintain a low profile. The people you care about will seek you out anyway. You’ll want to avoid some strong headwinds from an associate who must have it his or her way. Let it go for now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to gain a better understanding of the dynamics between you and someone else.

Emphasize the importance of your friendship, no matter what is occurring.

Detach, so that you don’t trigger this person. Listen to what he or she has to say. Tonight: Accept an offer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH One-on-one relating draws in positive results. You might feel as though you can handle a problem and get past it with ease. Open up to different possibilities more often; you are sure to like the outcome. Tonight: Be the ringmaster of the party.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Reach out to someone at a distance. This person will be thrilled to hear from you, even if he or she gives you some flak. Examine what is going

Let others know how closely knit you are, as it will explain some of your choices. Tonight: Dinner for two.

•• MARKET REPORT ••

It is no secret that the U.S. economy has been in a very difficult time.

Real estate prices are down. The Fed has lowered interest rates to all-time lows. 30-yr. mortgages are hovering between an almost unbelievable 3% and 4%! There is one silver lining to the dismal market factors: there is absolutely no better time to buy a home! With each 1/8% that interest rates drop, a home purchaser’s buying power rises dramatically.

Just a few short years ago, rates were in the 7-8% range.

And if you are looking, but have not found the right home yet, Sheldon Real Estate is offering a $500 credit toward a buyer’s closing costs if you purchase a home in the month of May... it just doesn’t get any better!
