Modifications made to Southwick solar project

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Two residents of College Highway hope additional measures proposed by the engineer of a solar project behind thair homes will keep water from ruining their property.

Michael Noble and Martha Baillargeon both experienced damage following an August rainstorm when water flowed from the solar project into their yards.

Baillargeon’s gravel driveway was almost completely washed out and Noble’s backyard was ruined.

Baillargeon’s driveway was pushed back into place the next day but she has since discovered damage to her septic system’s leech field. Noble said his backyard was virtually unusable following the damage, and both residents attended a walk-through of the solar project last week and a Southwick Planning Board meeting this week.

Engineer Matt Puntin of RGS Design offered a two-fold solution. To combat

Baillargeon’s concerns, he said a trench included in the original design would be extended to 240 feet, nearly double the originally proposed length. The trench was designed to slow down water in the event of a major rainfall. Puntin said a swale located behind Noble’s home would also be extended an additional 20 feet, which exceeds the width of Noble’s property. Puntin said another existing swale would be modified to help slow down water and divert it away from Noble’s property.

“It’s at a 90-degree angle now and I want to bring it to a 45-degree angle,” Puntin said. Changing the angle should help slow water flow. Right now, he said, during a heavy rain like the one in August, water skips right over the swale because of the sharp angle.

“We plan on starting this Friday, Oct. 10,” said Puntin. “We estimate it will be about $20,000 for this work and will See Solar Project, Page 3

WSAA celebrates Hispanic Heritage

Preservation Board seeks to preserve funding

New STGRS wellness policy discussed

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The SouthwickTolland-Granville Regional Schools are moving toward adopting a wellness policy.

Superintendent Dr. John Barry told the school committee this week that the DR. JOHN new policy would BARRY mean big changes when it comes to food in the schools .

“You can’t do fundraisers that involve chocolate chip cookies anymore,” Barry said.

At least, not on campus.

When asked by the student representative to the committee about the class Valentines Day candy gram event – one of the largest fundraisers of the year – Barry said “can you find a way to do it outside of school? That’s what you have to figure out.”

Committee member Jeffrey Houle asked Barry what was driving the policy.

“State initiatives and allergies,” he replied. “I don’t think we have a choice.

This represents a change in practices.”

Barry said many events and celebrations in the schools center around food.

The wellness policy would change that and prohibit parents from providing items such as cupcakes for student birthdays.

“Maybe non-food celebrations have to happen in the future,” said Barry.

Houle said the language in the draft policy states the changes would be across the district.

“The opposite of a fact is falsehood,

Westfield Spanish American Association, Rodriguez has seen the WSAA grow from only 15 members to around 50 in its two decades in the Whip City and he is proud of all the WSAA has done to help the city’s small, vibrant Hispanic community.

Recently the organization celebrated national Hispanic

Heritage Month by moving into new offices on 52 Court Street and hosted an open house to ring in a new era in their history.

“I love it, I love it. It’s all about location,” said Rodriguez of the WSAA’s new digs across from City Hall. “We’ll be raising the Puerto Rican flag on

November 16 and we’re going to have a big event going on at the YMCA afterwards.”

Besides promoting Latino culture in the city, the organization is active in supporting the Hispanic youth and elderly residents of Westfield.

“We’ve raised over $55,000 now, through successful golf tournaments every July that have also been going on for 20 years,” said Rodriguez, adding that next year’s tournament will be followed by a gala in the evening.

“We don’t have a big Hispanic community, but the community in Westfield is diverse,” he said. “We get along quite well and a lot of us like to keep our culture and educate and learn from our cultures.”

Rodriguez stated that aiding both kids and recent immigrants to the city is a priority for the WSAA. “A lot of people who come from outside of the community, they don’t know where to go for any type of services and that’s where we want to be useful,” he said.

“We also have our emphasis on Latino youths, as we’ve given college students money but we also want to give money to non-college students who want to get a trade or a vocation.”

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Members of the Community Preservation Committee last night discussed its policy of funding projects with a goal of extending its ability to provide funding for future projects.

The board has recently approved funding for major projects, with the caveat that the appropriation, when approved by the City Council, be spread over multiple years through municipal financing mechanisms, such as bonds.

That discussion was initiated during review of a funding increase requested for Hanger II at Barnes Regional Airport, which will be a total commitment of nearly $500,000 from the Community Preservation Act account.

Board members said they would MARY L. want that appropriation spread over three years at about $166,000 a year O’CONNELL which would allow the committee to consider other funding requests.

CPC member Vincent Olinski, a Park & Recreation Commissioner who has served on the CPC since its inception, said that “historically we really tried to keep 50 percent of the funds available so if a project came up we could consider funding it.

“But we never had the kind of projects that have come up over the past two years,” Olinski said. “In the past we wanted projects with matching funds, now we’re getting big dollar projects that are 100 percent funded with CPA money. Maybe we should identify a reserve cap.”

Ward 4 Councilor Mary O’Connell said she is concerned with the funding and type of projects receiving See Preservation, Page 3

Committee hikes historic hangar preservation funding

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Community Preservation Committee voted last night to increase funding to preserve a hangar at Barnes Regional Airport which both the city’s Historical Commission and the state have deemed to be of historic significance.

JOE The committee voted 6-1 to MITCHELL increase funding from the original estimate of $470,000 to $498,000 based upon the assessment of the protect engineering and archetural consultant, Reinhardt Associates, Inc., of Agawam.

City Advancement Officer Joe Mitchell said that Reinhardt reports the work, which has to conform to the standards of the Secretary of the Interior, will preserve the envelope of the historic structure.

The 10,000-square-foot hangar was built in 1939 with a brick, wood and steel structure that fell into disrepair in the 1970s when the original facade was covered with aluminum siding.

Mitchell said the rehabilitation plan is to repair the “envelope” of the structure and restore it to its original appearance. The Airport Commission has endorsed the reuse of the hangar for the Westfield Vocational Technical High School aviation technology program.

Mitchell said the goal is to begin construction this spring and have the hangar ready for students either in the fall of 2016 or by January of 2017, noting that freshmen at WVTHS spend the first part of the school year attending all of the shops before making a choice as to which shop they intend to pursue.

Much of the discussion among committee members was how to present the financing package to Mayor Daniel M. Knapik and the City Council. The clear desire of the committee majority was that the $498,000 should be spread over three years.

“I really don’t want to put all of our revenue into one See Funding, Page 3

Suit: Cold Burger King onion rings sparked attack BLOOMFIELD, N.M. (AP) — A New Mexico man is suing Burger King after he says a manager attacked him for complaining about cold onion rings.

KRQE-TV reports (http://goo.gl/ ID9qbR ) the lawsuit filed in state district court says Robert Deyapp was assaulted in June 2013 when he told a manager at the fast-food restaurant in the northwestern New Mexico city of Bloomfield about his cold order.

The lawsuit claims that when Deyapp asked for a refund, manager Francisco Berrera lunged at him with a stun gun and switchblade.

Court records show Berrera later pleaded no contest to aggravated assault.

Ronald Adamson, an attorney for Berrera, did not immediately return a phone message from The Associated Press.

A spokesman for Burger King said the company doesn’t comment on pending litigation.

fiscal year,” said CPC Chairman Joe Muto.

“If we approve it, it’s to be drawn out over three years, Mitchell said the WVTHS Aviation Council is seeking $1.9 million in funding from state and federal government agencies and from the private aviation sector. One company has already committed to funding $200,000, over four years, for operation of the education program.

COC Member William Porter, who voted against the motion to increase the CPC funding, suggested that the group seek donations from the private sector to cover the difference between the two cost figures.

“I’m really reluctant (to approve the addition funding),” he said. I got the impression there was plenty more out there.”

“This is a great project,” said CPC member George Martin. “We’ve already allocated most of the money, so I have no problem with a slight increase.”

In other business, the committee approved the use of $11,852 remaining in the contingency funds for the WHIPP Museum.

The City Council approved the appropriation of $737,470 from Community Preservation Act accounts at its Feb. 25, 2013 session, with $379,985 coming from the CPA reserve for historic preservation account and $357,485 from the undesignated reserve account. That funding appropriation included a $27,000 contingency to cover the cost of unforeseen problems arising during reconstruction of the bu8ilding envelope.

The museum concept was initiated to create a living museum at 360 Elm Street but Carol Martin, who owns the Westfield Whip Manufacturing Company, said that WHIPP, Inc., merged with Westfield Museum Inc., a group formed to showcase the city’s industrial history, thus expanding the scope of the original living museum concept to include a display area that will be used for other

“Because the way it reads, it’s the whole district.”

Committee member George LeBlanc asked if there could be more research on the topic.

“Can we find out if this is a mandate or a strong recommendation,” he said.

Barry said that while he believes every school district is required to have a wellness policy, he would research LeBlanc’s concerns and give the committee his findings.

aspects of the city’s industrial past. The merger of the two 501-C3 organizations was effective as of July 1, 2012.

Last night Martin said that during reconstruction, to preserve the exterior of the historic building, the last remaining whip factory in the Whip City still manufacturing whips, it was discovered that exterior storm drains were connected to the interior plumbing of the building, a problem which had to be resolved. The $11,852 depletes the contingency funding.

“One of our major campaigns is to recruit young people to come in and help us out,” Rodriguez added before referencing a recent hip-hop concert at St. Mary’s that the WSAA supported. “We’re trying to let people know we’re here for you and that we’d like your help also.”

Providing a bridge between generations and instilling a sense of pride is central to the group’s mission.

“And as college students graduate, we’re saying to them ‘come on back, join our membership and pass this down to the next generation,’” Rodriguez said.

Planning Board Vice Chairperson Roz Terry said she hoped the modifications would hold up in a similar rain event and asked Department of Public Works Director Randy Brown for his thoughts.

“I think this gives multiple levels of protection,” said Brown.

Terry then asked Noble and Baillargeon if they were satisfied with Puntin’s proposal. Noble quickly said he was not and said he was not convinced it would alleviate future problems.He mentioned an existing small river that had formed and wondered if filling it in would be benefi-

“I don’t want to fill it in,” said Puntin.

“I don’t think it’s a good answer.”

The discussion included a conversation about vegetation, which would naturally slow down any water running off the solar property. Puntin said they would seed the area but there were no plans to add trees or other vegetation other than what exists currently.

Terry suggested they seed as soon as possible and see how the winter and spring go, then revisit the situation if necessary. Noble asked what recourse the homeowners had if Puntin’s solutions

did not work and was told the town would not have any further recourse because there was no special permit for the project.

“They got this project in before we had a solar bylaw,” said Terry, who also praised the project managers and Puntin for using the draft solar bylaws while designing the project.

Puntin did agree with Noble that ruts on the property created by waterflow should be looked at and said he would bring that to the table for consideration.

No further action was taken by the board.

those funds, especially those that the board desires to spread out over a number of years.

“You guys are scaring me with those future financial obligations,” O’Connell said. “I’m getting very nervous.”

CPC Chairman Joe Muto suggested that the discussion was better suited for the board agenda item pertaining to CPC planning, priorities and the possible repeal of the Community Preservation Act in Westfield.

The board was unable to agree on a resolution to the issue and put it on the agenda for its next meeting.

COMMENT

I was disappointed to see that the Westfield High School Varsity Football Coach left the program in the middle of the year. I went to last Friday’s football game against Minnechaug and I was surprised to see the chaos on the Westfield sidelines.

After every offensive play the Westfield quarterback would come to the sidelines to get the next play from the Head Coach and the quarterback’s father would be yelling at his son. The father is an assistant coach, and it seemed like he and his son were arguing with each other throughout the whole game. The poor kid couldn’t even get the plays from the Head Coach with his father screaming at him. I feel like it affected the whole team. There are many football teams with father & son relationships and most figure out a way to make it work.

The school has named a new Head Coach, and I believe that there are no varsity football coaches at Westfield High who teach at the school. I think it is important to have a football coach with a presence in the hallways of the school each day.

Most successful high school programs have coaches who are involved with the kids throughout the entire school day. I hope Westfield High School has a process to find a qualified teacher/ coach for the varsity football team next year.

Oregon First Lady: My sham marriage

By Kendall Breitman Politico.com Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber’s (D) fiancée Cylvia Hayes admitted on Thursday to entering into an illegal marriage in 1997, calling it a “serious mistake.”

“It was wrong then and it is wrong now and I am here today to accept the consequences, some of which will be life changing. And I cannot predict what direction this will go,” Hayes said in a statement.

On Wednesday, the Willamette Week released a story questioning the legitimacy of Hayes’ third marriage to an Ethiopian man, Abraham B. Abraham, who was 18-years-old at the time of the marriage. Hayes was 29.

Hayes says she entered into the marriage so Abraham could stay in the United States.

At the time of Willamette Week’s publishing, Hayes would not comment on the marriage but provided a short statement to the weekly in an email.

“I am planning on releasing a statement tomorrow, but I want to answer one question directly tonight,” Hayes said in the Wednesday evening email. “The governor did not know about this third marriage until yesterday afternoon.”

On Thursday, she explained, “I want to be clear today — I was associating with the wrong people. I was struggling to put myself through college and was offered money in exchange for marrying a young person who had a chance to get a college degree himself if he were able to remain in the United States.”

During questions from the press, Hayes, 47, admitted to being paid $5,000 for the marriage. Hayes said that she met “only a handful of times” and that the two “never lived together.” They were married for about four years.

“John Kitzhaber deserved to know the history of the person he was forming a relationship with,” she said. “The fact that I did not disclose this to him meant that he has learned about this in the most public and unpleasant way. This is my greatest sorrow in this difficult situation.”

She continued, “I apologize deeply for my actions and omissions, first and foremost to John, the person I love and respect above all others. I also apologize to my friends, family and colleagues who have trusted and supported me. And to Oregonians, I deeply regret not being right up front about the fact that I had made a serious mistake. I owe you all an apology.”

Although the two are not married, Kitzhaber refers to Hayes as the “first lady.”

Kitzhaber is facing Republican Dennis Richardson for the Oregon governor’s seat in November. According to a poll from SurveyUSA and KATU-TV, he is leading Richardson 50 percent to 38 percent.

White House vexed on how to replace Holder

By Edward-Isaac Dovere and Josh Gerstein Politico.com The White House is seriously considering waiting until after Election Day to announce a replacement for Attorney General Eric Holder in order to avoid creating a new political problem for vulnerable Senate Democrats.

But that may make an already difficult job of getting someone confirmed by the end of the year more challenging, creating a tense, time-compressed showdown with Republicans during the lame duck or waiting until the Democratic majority in the Senate has thinned, if not been lost.

White House aides say they have been busy with other pressing matters, including the ISIL operation, the Ebola crisis and even the midterm campaign schedule. No decision has been made on who the nominee to head the Justice Department will be or when he or she will be announced, aides insist.

“The process of selecting a candidate is ongoing,” said a person familiar with White House thinking.

But the White House pushing a nomination in the lame duck is still very much under consideration in the West Wing, with the president and his aides reflecting true indecision as they weigh various factors. For all the reasons to hold back, they also see several potential advantages to moving forward more quickly.

The White House has had plenty of time to think about it.

Over a month ago, President Barack Obama was informed by Holder of his final decision to leave, and he was long expected to depart by the end of the year. And most of the internal speculation has been focused on an effective short list of three — former White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler, Labor Secretary Tom Perez and Solicitor General Don Verrilli — for over a week.

“They’re just not going to do this as quickly as people want,” one former Justice Department official said. “They’ve known this was coming for over a year.” ”Everything I’m hearing is this is going to be a post-election nomination,” said another ex-official familiar with all of the leading contenders.

The apparent lack of urgency on the White House’s part has baffled some Democrats. Part of the reason for that delay may have come into focus Wednesday night, when The Washington Post disclosed new details about Ruemmler’s handling of the alleged involvement of a well-connected White House advance volunteer in a flap over prostitutes Secret Service agents and others patronized on a 2012 Obama trip to Colombia.

Republicans are already asking questions about why Ruemmler didn’t conduct a more thorough investigation of whether the advance person was telling the truth when he denied checking a prostitute into his room on the night before Obama’s arrival.

“A weekend investigation with a predetermined outcome doesn’t meet the smell test,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said in a statement Thursday. “I had asked White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler to explain how she came to a definite conclusion so fast. It’s now clear why the White House

By then, Obama could be stuck with having to settle for either a nominee that energized Republicans would be willing to accept, or with an attorney general serving in an acting capacity for the remainder of his two years in office. Holder has said he’ll stay around until a successor is confirmed, but that was not expected to be a very long window.

“If the Republicans have a clear majority, I don’t see how it makes sense to wait — even if you can’t get it done in the lame duck, it’s better to do it in the lame duck,” Trippi said.

Democratic aides say that without Republican cooperation, the confirmation process would likely take at least seven weeks. That allows about a month to prepare for a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, including by filing answers to an

wouldn’t be transparent and it took the press to uncover the truth.”

Current and former administration officials tell POLITICO they believe such questions don’t doom Ruemmler’s chances, but it’s the kind of controversy the president would surely fuel if he announced a nomination of his former lawyer in advance of the Nov. 4 elections.

White House spokesman Eric Schultz declined Thursday to discuss how the Colombia prostitution flap might impact the possibility of a Ruemmler nomination. “I’m not going to speculate about any potential candidate,” he said.

However, Schultz said the White House was confident Ruemmler acted appropriately. “On the matter of this White House review, we stand by it. … We thought it was conducted

by White House counsel, Kathy, in a careful, thorough way.

Anyone who knows Kathy knows that she is a former prosecutor, a renowned attorney who is respected by members of both sides of the aisle.”

Any nominee named before the midterms would immediately become a topic of conversation on the trail, forcing endangered incumbents to get caught either agreeing with the president’s choice or distancing themselves in a way that could essentially vote down the choice before it ever makes it to the floor.

“The one thing they don’t want to do is put someone forward next week and have it become a November issue, a rallying cry for Republicans to stop the next Eric Holder,” said Democratic consultant Joe Trippi.

But time is running short for Obama to act if he wants a nominee confirmed this year.

Even accelerated, the confirmation process typically requires weeks of ramp-up for internal vetting and preparations by the Senate Judiciary Committee. That window begins to get tight by next week, well ahead of Nov. 4. And if the White House and Democrats are waiting for the majority to be settled, they’ll also have to game out the Louisiana and Georgia Senate races — both of which have the potential to decide the majority and are expected to go into runoffs. Georgia’s would be on Jan. 6, three days after the new Congress is sworn in.

Ex-principal pleads guilty to cheating scheme SPRINGFIELD, Mass.

(AP) — The former principal of a Massachusetts charter school has pleaded guilty to charges related to her efforts to help students cheat on a statewide standardized test.

Janet Henry entered her plea to a charge of mail fraud in U.S. District Court in Springfield, Massachusetts, on Wednesday.

Prosecutors say while Henry was the principal at Springfield’s Robert M. Hughes Academy in 2009, she told teachers to give clues and other tips to students taking the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System exams. She then falsely certified that the tests had been administered honestly.

Henry said she was acting under pressure from a member of the school’s board of directors who demanded a boost in test scores.

She faces probation and a fine at sentencing on Jan. 3.

The school has since closed.

Over-wintering your perennials in pots? Some tips

By DEAN FOSDICK Associated Press In simpler times, container gardening was small-scale landscaping using flowering annuals. Enjoy their color for one season and go with something new the next.

But shifts toward food production and mixed container planting — perennials with annuals — have changed all that, creating the need for over-wintering.

“Many more people have limited or no garden space . (and) as a result are doing their food gardening in containers,” said Marianne Ophardt, an extension horticulturist with Washington State University’s Benton County office. “Cultivating small (perennial) fruit like raspberries, strawberries and blueberries is one way for these gardeners to grow their own fruit, and it’s fun.”

Ignore the rules about hardiness zones if you’re trying to over-winter perennials in pots. All bets are off when containers are exposed to dehydrating winds and seasonal freeze-dry cycles.

“When we put woody or perennial plants in pots above the soil, they have lost the insulation provided by the soil and are exposed to potentially tissue-killing temperatures,” Ophardt said. “As a general rule, the least hardy parts of woody plants are the roots.”

The best way to help plants survive the winter is to select the right varieties to begin with, she said. Buy the most cold-tolerant varieties you can find.

“I pick the hardiest available rated with a USDA zone that is two zones colder than my zone,” Ophardt said.

Some plants genetically are more perennial than others.

Woody plants like shrubs, for example, usually are more coldhardy than are soft-stemmed herbaceous perennials.

Many techniques have evolved to help potted plants survive the winter. Several of the most common: — Use bigger containers. “Larger root masses and soil volumes are less susceptible to winter injury,” said Hannah Mathers, an Ohio State University professor who specializes in commercial nursery and landscape extension.

— Dig them into the ground. “Dig a pit and cover with poly (plastic sheeting) and straw to over-winter some smaller containers,” Mathers said. “Trapping the heat from the earth is an ideal way to over-winter plants.”

This April 26, 2013 photo shows a succulent arrangement on a patio table in Langley, Wash. Many techniques have been developed over the years to help ensure that potted plants survive winter. One of the simplest is to bring them indoors as this gardener intends to do for a second straight year. (AP Photo/Dean Fosdick)

In this Thursday, Oct. 2, 2014 photo, this gardener is moving some woody perennials from containers into the ground in part to protect the roots from freezing over winter and in part to give the shrub more room to spread out in Langley, Wash.

Many perennials do well in containers for one to two years before growing too large and becoming root bound. (AP Photo/ Dean Fosdick)

— Group them. Less troublesome that digging can be “grouping and placing them in a protected spot on the ground, such as an alcove or corner, and mulching them with compost or straw,” Ophardt said.

— Bring them indoors. “Anyplace cool but that will stay above freezing,” Ophardt said. “Most often an unheated garage meets this criterion.”

Potted plants should be prepared if they’re to be over-wintered in unheated structures, Mathers said.

“Watering should be reduced in late September and early October to help the plant acclimate,” she said. “Fertilizer should be stopped in early September to reduce lush growth and again allow for acclimation.”

Over-wintering perennials gives you a running start for the

next growing season, especially if you’re a fan of mixed container gardening. It supplies nearly filled containers that need only a few annuals to complete.

“I myself this year did several mixed planters with small shrubs, small conifer trees and herbaceous perennials mixed with annuals,” Mathers said. “I will be over-wintering these in an unheated greenhouse. Some of the larger pots with conifers I will keep outside for winter color.”

Ask a Designer: outdoor decorating for fall

By MELISSA RAYWORTH Associated Press Homes in the northern U.S. are treated to a measure of effortless outdoor decorating for fall: Nature does most of the work by turning the trees a vivid palette of reds, oranges and golds. Add a pumpkin or two on the doorstep and the look is complete.

In the rest of the country, it takes a bit more creativity to add the season’s colors and textures to the exterior of a home.

Southern California designer Betsy Burnham says poorly done

anywhere can be made more attractive through the beauty of the season. Here, Burnham and two other designers — Brian Patrick Flynn of the Flynnside Out design blog and Lee Kleinhelter, owner of the Pieces design store in Atlanta — offer advice on doing outdoor fall decorating right.

AVOID CLICHES If you’ve been hanging up the same fall wreath on your front door for several years now, Burnham suggests a fresh approach.

“It doesn’t have to be a wreath,” she says. “It can be wheat sheaths. It can be pussy willows. Just something that seems autumnal.”

Flynn agrees: “I usually stay away from corn husks as door decor,” he says, “and I also skip things that have been done a million times, like scarecrows. Instead, I like to simply play with yellow- and orange-toned plants, and a variety of pumpkins.”

Kleinhelter suggests using “rustic elements to complement this time of year,” such as birch logs, twigs and vines.

And as Halloween decorating has become increasingly popular, host guests and also take in the amazing foliage,” says Flynn. many homeowners aiming for a festive fall look go overboard “I have an outdoor fireplace in my own mountain house, and I deck it out in fall tones each year and just escape outside all with big decorations and harsh shades of orange.

But with a light touch and some strategic choices, homes day long.”

Right at Home: Quoth the raven, ‘Happy Halloween’

By KIM COOK Associated Press Edgar Allan Poe and Halloween are enmeshed like cobwebs on a lamppost.

In classics like “The Cask of Amontillado,” ‘’The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” ‘’The Masque of the Red Death” and more, the master of horror fiction gave us imagery — sinister masquerade balls, mysterious catacombs, menacing city streets — that have long inspired Halloween aficionados and lovers of all things spooky.

Retailers have plenty to offer for scary decorations or a Poe-inspired Halloween party: THE RAVEN Perhaps the most iconic Poe symbol, the raven is easy to spot around Halloween.

You can find large and small decorative versions of black birds that can be placed on buffet tables, bookshelves and front porches.

Pottery Barn’s got metal crows for outdoor display; faux crows for indoor use have real feathers. (www.potterybarn.com) At Crate & Barrel, there are plates and napkins with an all-over raven graphic, as well as string lights and carved wooden ravens. (www.crateandbarrel.com ) A black feather wreath makes a dramatic statement on a mantel. Or run a black boa down the length of a serving table. You’ll find

both in many Halloween décor stores, but you can make your own, too.

HGTV.com has instructions for creating a wreath using a straw form, and a black feather trim and boa from a crafts supply store. (www.hgtv.com) Raven masks will turn even a non-costume dinner party into something intriguingly chic. Find versions both simple and elaborate crafted of paper, leather, lace or felt on Etsy.com.

STYLE WITH A STORY Poe-themed decor also might include a touch of the literary: a long white glove with ink stains on it, vintage books stacked haphazardly, a tattered tablecloth. If you don’t have copies of Poe’s books, piles of black-covered volumes will set the tone. (In a pinch, cover any books with black paper.) White feather “quill pens” can be arranged in little spice jars decorated with ink labels.

Buy a porcelain marker and write a line or two from your favorite Poe piece on some inexpensive white plates or serving trays. Or use metallic permanent markers to add a phrase to cotton or linen napkins.

Singe the edges of parchment paper printed with a poem or paragraph that you’ve written out or typed, using either an old typewriter or a vintage font from a computer. The same technique

Mortgage company Freddie Mac said Thursday that the nationwide average for a 30-year loan fell to 4.12 percent from 4.19 percent last week. The average for a 15-year mortgage, a popular choice for people who are refinancing, also declined to 3.3 percent from 3.36 percent.

The 30-year rate is down from 4.53 percent at the start of the year.

the year outdoors?”

CHOOSE THE RIGHT SHADES All three designers are fans of white gourds and white pumpkins. “We use them every year one way or another,” Kleinhelter says.

“Grouping them on table settings or outside in multiples by the door is an easy arrangement.”

You can decorate with gourds and pumpkins without adding “that crazy pumpkin orange” to your home’s exterior, Burnham says. Instead, pick other shades of orange and yellow that feel seasonal but aren’t quite so bright.

“Orange and yellow are the two colors most associated with fall style,” Flynn says.

But “to get these tones right, you’ve got to stick with those that have just the right amount of brown in them. Otherwise the intended look will end up being somewhat childish or even summery. Stick with mustard tones rather than canary yellow, and as far as orange goes, it’s best to use burnt pumpkin tones rather than red oranges or yellow oranges.”

You can also mix in neutral shades of tan

and soft brown. “And I always like to throw my own spin on it all,” Flynn says, “by incorporating black.”

USE WHAT YOU HAVE “I don’t think you need to go buy a new ‘themed’ look for a season,” Kleinhelter says.

“Take something you already have and rethink it, like the natural elements in your yard, and come up with a creative yet simple way to use them.”

White lights you bought for Christmas decorating can be just the thing to make fall outdoor decorating look special. “We have jumbo vine balls we are going to wrap in lights and scatter in the yard,” Kleinhelter says, in “a ‘pop art’ kind of way.”

Burnham agrees: “You can never go wrong with white lights,” she says. “You can do a lot with just framing your door with really beautiful white lights,” perhaps woven through twigs or vines.

The look is glamorous, and also practical: If you’ve lined your front door with white lights woven through twigs in the fall, simply add some pine or holly branches to the mix when it’s time to decorate in December.

Battling cancer

Family and friends of Kevin J. Bouvier, the late son of an area official, Jim Bouvier, who passed away from cancer last August, are presented with a keepsake prayer shawl in a pregame ceremony at Thursday’s Bombers-Lancers’ high School field hockey game in Longmeadow. (Photo by Chris Putz)

By Chris Putz Staff Writer LONGMEADOW – Sports helps build character and teamwork. Sports are a good form of physical activity. Sports provide high school students an outlet, and, at the same time deliver entertainment for family, friends, and fans.

Sometimes the score “It was great to see should be secondary, the win or loss representative sportsmanship displayed of one team’s good fortune on and off the field in the to best the other.

On Thursday, that was teams raising money more evident than ever for a good cause – before as the Westfield and to help fight cancer.”

Longmeadow high school field hockey teams joined Karen Gomez in a battle for a good cause.

Westfield head field hockey coach, Westfield and also the school’s athletic director.

Longmeadow dedicated Thursday’s game, dubbed “Play 4 the Cure,” in memory of Kevin J. Bouvier, who passed away from cancer last August. Bouvier was the son of area referee, Jim Bouvier, and his wife Patricia.

The Bombers raised $200 for Thursday’s game to benefit the National Foundation for Cancer Research. The Lancers made a memorial donation to Pan Mass Challenge’s “Bikes Fight Cancer,” presented a keepsake prayer shawl to the Bouvier family, and is currently selling pink bracelets and pink ribbon lanyards for “Play 4 the Cure,” and “Rays of Hope.”

“It was great to see sportsmanship displayed on and off the field in the teams raising money for a good cause – to help fight cancer,” said Westfield head field hockey coach Karen Gomez, also the school’s athletic director.

Following a heartfelt pre-game ceremony, which brought tears to the eyes of many, the two teams battled each other, but in spirit waged a war against cancer.

Longmeadow, an annual force on the field hockey field, prevailed.

Margaret Mooney (assist) and Jessie Moriarty scored two goals apiece to lead Longmeadow. Allie Erwin and Ally Quirk also scored for the Lancers.

Quick, Claire Fitzpatrick, Jessie Strassburg, and Hannah Calabrese also had assists.

Longmeadow goalie Kelly Payne made two saves; Westfield keeper Karly Mastello had six.

The final score: Longmeadow 6, Westfield 0.

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Barking Up a Tree Dear Annie: My next-door neighbors are breeding and selling dogs illegally. Sometimes they have as many as 18 dogs in the house. The problem is having to put up with all that barking, and even worse, the smell permeates our driveway, porch and yard. It is disgusting.

We are retired and have a beautiful home. We cannot enjoy our own yard because of these neighbors, and selling is not an option. I have tried everything from attempting to reason with them to reporting them to the city and animal control centers, to no avail. Each agency passes the buck.

In addition, I am sure they are not paying taxes on this illegal business venture. What other avenues can I pursue? -- Barking Up a Tree Dear Barking: Have you tried the police? If this is an illegal enterprise, the police should arrest them. Have you called the humane society? If the dogs are being mistreated, the humane society should get involved. Also look into local noise ordinances and check out your homeowners or neighborhood association, if there is one, and find out whether there is any type of intervention or mediation available to you.

Dear Annie: You’ve printed several letters about thank-you notes, so I hope you can help with my dilemma.

I recently attended a wedding, and I gave the couple a substantial amount of cash that I placed in a card. It has been over a month, and I have not yet received any acknowledgement. My concern is that perhaps the cash was lost. Should I ask whether they got it? -- Unsure in New York Dear Unsure: We suspect the couple has not yet gotten around to writing their thank-you notes. We’d be impressed if they had done so within a month. Please give them a little more time. If you don’t hear anything in another two months, it is OK to phone and ask whether the gift reached its destination. It is always safer to have a gift sent to the bride or groom’s home, or hand a card with a check to the couple, the parents or the best man. Leaving cash on a gift table is risky.

Dear Annie: I am tired of hearing women complain about their mothers-in-law. I have raised a son, sacrificed, worried, lost sleep, worked jobs I didn’t want and devoted my entire life to what was best for him -- as all mothers do. I dreamed that one day he would marry and have children, enriching our family.

Then he meets “the one,” and she is accepted and welcomed. We help them get settled and offer financial assistance and emotional support, because I want my son and his family to be happy.

And then one day it starts. You are no longer greeted with open arms. You have to call first before stopping by (even if you are next door). You get lectures about “boundaries,” and in the worst case, you are exiled.

Do you want to know what I think? I think there are rotten little girls who need to control their men and are too insecure to accept their mothers-in-law as “Mom” and instead see you as the “other woman.” They show no respect. A mother has a relationship with her son that should be cherished, not destroyed.

I pity their own daughters if they are raised by such messedup women and can only hope that karma prevails if they have sons of their own. -- Unhappy Mother of a Son Dear Unhappy: While we agree that some daughters-in-law can be insecure and jealous of their mothers-in-law, we completely disagree when it comes to dropping by without calling first. Too many parents trespass all over their children’s boundaries, as if they don’t apply to them. If you want to be treated with respect, you also have to show respect for the married couple. We don’t care whose mother you are.

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Money Takes a Trip to the Wall Dear Heloise: My family and I love traveling, and we bring back some money from the countries we’ve visited. It is usually only about a dollar or two. We frame the bills and coins, and hang them up ON THE WALL. They have become some of our most treasured souvenirs from our travels. -- Yvette in Texas I’ve done the same thing, too!

When I traveled with my father (Marshall H. Cruse, 1920-2006), I brought back currency that in many cases is now no longer even around as spendable currency! Here are some interesting ones: East Berlin paper and coin marks from 1971 (yes, I went through Checkpoint Charlie); Russian rubles from 1973; and some very pretty Chinese yuan from 1979.

The ones I still use? A British 10-pence coin to give a bride so she can have “a 10-pence for her shoe” for good luck! Yes indeed, many fond memories. -- Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Someone might be quite gabby, but still won’t spill the beans, at least not about what you wanted to hear.

Your ingenuity will allow many possibilities to come forward. How will you decide which way to go? Feedback could be important. Tonight: Go with others’ suggestions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You might want to hear more about what is going on. A friend who disrupts your daily life could share an earful. It is with amusement that you listen to this person. A matter involving real estate or your home life will grab your attention. Tonight: Kick back, then decide.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You are full of ideas, and you want to share them. Others could be overly optimistic, which might make you doubt their veracity. Work with someone directly in order to get a better grasp of what is going on. There are some topics you won’t want to touch!

Tonight: Hang out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Emphasize what you want to happen. Be careful with your spending, and maintain some discipline; you will be happier with the results. A discussion regarding your family life could spark some innovative ideas. Tonight: Find your friends for a fun happening.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH A situation in your daily life appears to be transforming right in front of you. You cannot avoid a discussion under any circumstances. The words you choose could define the outcome. You will get better results if you rely on diplomacy. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You like your routine, and you dislike being thrown into new experiences. However, you might opt to do something very different right now.

Realize that this is your choice -- it isn’t being forced upon you. You might enjoy the change of pace. Tonight: Share a secret.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Reach out to someone you really care about. You could discover that you still can relate on an individual level with this person. Do not treat this bond lightly, as it has meaning to both of you. This friendship can make all the difference in your life. Tonight: Be a duo.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Join a friend in making the most of the moment. You might be worried about a situation that you’re not sure how to read. Express your thoughts, and you will get strong feedback. You could be amazed by how differently people view this situation. Tonight: Out and about.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your organization and ability to prioritize will be reflected in how your day flows. An unexpected conversation will help illuminate an issue.

Understand the power in numbers. A meeting is likely to open up many options. Tonight: Read between the lines.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Understand your limits with a child or loved one. You could be overwhelmed by all the attention someone demands. Relate to this person directly in order to gain a better sense of what is motivating him or her. Don’t make assumptions. Tonight: Now for some good times.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Resist getting too stuck or rigid. You might be surprised by how easily you could fall into a stubborn stance. Others seem upbeat, so why not join them rather than insisting on having your own way? Deal with a domestic matter at a later point. Tonight: At home.

HHHH A meeting or get-together might need to be rescheduled. Do yourself a favor, and reach out to someone whom you seem to be avoiding. Make the most of each conversation that you have today, and make it a point to say more than just “hello” to a neighbor. Tonight: Hang out.

Colts hold on for 33-28 win over Texans

By KRISTIE RIEKEN AP Sports Writer HOUSTON (AP) — Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts had a great first quarter and did just enough the rest of the way to hold off the Houston Texans 33-28 on Thursday night.

The Colts (4-2) raced to a 24-0 lead after one quarter, but allowed Houston to cut it to 33-28 early in the fourth quarter on J.J. Watt’s fumble return for a touchdown.

The Texans (3-3) had two opportunities to take the lead late, but the Colts recovered fumbles by Andre Johnson and Ryan Fitzpatrick in the last five minutes.

Luck finished with 370 yards passing and a three touchdowns and T.Y. Hilton had a careerhigh 223 yards receiving with a touchdown to give Indy first place in the AFC South.

The Texans were driving with less than five minutes remaining when Johnson, who had been called for pass interference two plays earlier, caught a 13-yard pass and fumbled.

Watt knocked down Luck’s pass on third down on Indy’s next drive to give Houston one last chance. But Bjoern Werner sacked Fitzpatrick and stripped the ball and D’Qwell Jackson recovered.

Fitzpatrick threw for 212 yards and a touchdown and Arian Foster had 109 yards rushing

with two scores for Houston.

Indianapolis led by 12 when Luck fumbled and Watt recovered it and returned it 45 yards for a touchdown. It was Watt’s third touchdown this season. He also has scored on an interception return and a reception.

Foster had a 34-yard run before Johnson grabbed a 26-yard reception to get Houston down to the 2 in the third quarter. Foster ran wide before cutting back inside and into the end zone untouched on the next play to get the Texans to 27-21.

The Texans were within six points in the third quarter when Luck, who was under heavy pressure, threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Hilton. The 2-point conversion failed, leaving Indianapolis up 33-21.

After a dreadful first quarter where Houston managed just 2 yards, the Texans’ offense finally got going in the second quarter. They kicked a field goal on fourth-and-5, but the Colts got a penalty to give Houston a new set of downs.

They took advantage of the opportunity when Fitzpatrick found Johnson in the corner of the end zone and he managed to get both feet in bounds for a 4-yard touchdown two plays later to cut the lead to 24-7. It was the first touchdown of the season for Johnson.

Houston got the ball back when Jared Crick tipped a pass by Luck that was intercepted by Justin Tuggle.

The Texans got to 24-14 when Foster scored on a 12-yard run.

The Colts added field goal to make it 27-14.

Luck found Hilton on a 40-yard pass early in the first quarter, but Indy’s offense stalled after that and the Colts settled for a field goal to make it 3-0.

Trent Richardson had a 5-yard touchdown run on a two-play drive that included a 49-yard pass to T.Y. Hilton.

The play was originally ruled a touchdown

after Hilton recovered from a fall seemingly untouched by defender Kareem Jackson and reached the end zone. The play was reviewed and the call reversed, with Hilton ruled down by contact at the 5.

The Colts pushed the lead to 17-0 when Ahmad Bradshaw scored on a 5-yard pass from Luck with about seven minutes left in the first quarter.

The Texans couldn’t get anything going in the first quarter and had to punt again after Fitzpatrick was sacked by Werner for an 8-yard loss on third down after Bradshaw’s score.
