Police seek help in finding missing man By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Westfield Police Department is asking for help from area residents in locating a missing person. Michael McKean, 46, is a 5’11” white man weighing approximately 160 lbs, who police say may be wearing a wig. In a post to the Westfield Detective Bureau’s Facebook page, McKean is reported to drive a green Ford Ranger pickup truck and is known to frequent Village Pizza in Southwick. Police said that McKean has not been seen since August 30 and that he needs daily medication, which he is not believed to have with him, which they are saying may lead to him being confused. Police request that anyone who sees him or has information about his whereabouts call the Westfield Police Department at (413) 562-5411.

Proposal to revoke CPA rejected By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Members of the City Council voted down a motion last night that would have requested the Law Department to issue an opinion on the process of changing or dissolving the city’s Community Preservation Act program. At-large Councilor David A. Flaherty requested the consent of the City Council to send the request to the city’s Law Department. The motion would have required a response from that department, in writing, prior to the council’s Nov. 6th meeting describing “the proper step by step procedures or methods for the City Council or the citizens of Westfield to rescind or revoke the Community Preservation Act.” Flaherty, during discussion of his motion, said he was acting upon a constituent’s request. “This is not a motion to get rid of the CPA or change it in any way,” Flaherty said. “It was a very contentious vote at the time it was passed, basically 50/50 and was passed by just a few votes.” “I’m asking for an opinion on procedures to make changes, the mechanics of getting it on a ballot,” Flaherty said. “There are no instructions (in the state law establishing the CPA) on how to dissolve it. I just want clarification from the Law Department.” “Some people may want a chance to reconsider,” Flaherty said. “Many people did not approve of some of the projects (funded with CPA funds). We’ve collected $5 million, so it’s something worth investigating.” At-large Councilor James R. Adams said he would vote against the motion because the City Council has to vote to approve or deny each appropriation of CPA funds. “We vote to get that money out,” Adams said.
CHRISTOPHER M. CREAN
“Most of the projects (funded in whole or in part with CPA money) are great for the community.” Ward 2 Councilor Ralph Figy and Ward 6 Councilor Christopher Crean also voiced their opposition. “After the dissolution of the BID, I don’t want to lose any other opportunity to advance the interests of this city,” Figy said. Crean said he was on the City Council which voted to put the CPA on the ballot a decade ago. Crean suggested that Flaherty or any citizen could go online to find the directions to rescind the CPA. “We went for the lowest amount, one percent, and the citizens of Westfield OK’d it,” Crean said. “It was never ‘sold’ in any way by this body.” Flaherty countered that he could not find instructions on how to dissolve the program and was just seeking “to get clarification from the Law Department.” Figy said “if someone has something against the CPA, why should we help them? Let them do their own research.” Ward 1 Councilor Christopher Keefe, acting as council president in the absence of Council President Brent B bean II, read the CPA law and described the process of rescinding the law in the city. “I’ve been asked what it would take to do that,” Flaherty said. Keefe called for a voice vote and declared that the majority of council had cast “nay” votes on the motion. Keefe said, following adjournment, that any council member could have requested a roll call vote to clarify the vote outcome, but that nobody made that request and accepted his declaration that the councils casting “no” votes were in the majority.

Police ask public to keep sharp eye out for chainsaws By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – In a Facebook post made this week, the Westfield Police Department’s Detective Bureau advised city residents to keep an eye out for stolen professionalgrade chainsaws. The tools were taken from two separate tree services on Lockhouse Road and Mill Street within the past month. The Detective Bureau also advised authorities and fellow citizens who frequent the Craigslist sites of nearby cities such as Worcester and Hartford, Connecticut to keep their
eyes peeled for the equipment. Approximately six chainsaws were stolen from each service and were valued at over $6,000 in total. While there have been other chainsaw thefts in the city over the course of the year, authorities do not believe these two break-ins are connected to any thefts that occurred earlier this year. In the post, police advise anyone who may have information about either crime or may know of someone who is selling professional-grade chainsaws to contact the Westfield Detective Bureau at (413) 572-6400.

Applicants sought for vacancies By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Southwick Board of Selectmen is seeking residents to fill two vacant seats on town boards. The first is an interested resident to serve on the Park and Recreation Commission. This position will be up for re-election in May of 2015 for a one-year term. The resident must be a registered voter. The seat became vacant when comissioner Michelle Ackerman resigned in late July, citing demands at her family business. The Board of Selectmen and the Library Trustees are looking for an interested resident to serve as a Library Trustee. This position will be up for re-election in May of 2015 for a one-year term. The resident must be a registered voter. The seat became vacant when Christopher Grabowski resigned last month. His resignation letter cited a demanding new job in Northampton as his reason for leaving the elected position. “Most of my weekly work schedule I do not come home to Southwick until 9 p.m. at night,” Grabowski stated. “This is just not workable, nor is it fair to the Southwick Library Board of Trustees and the people of Southwick.” Grabowski thanked the voters who elected him and said he “apologizes for not being able to complete my elected term.” Residents interested in either seat should submit a letter of interest and resume by 12 p.m. on Sept. 19, 2014 to the Selectmen’s Office, Town Hall, 454 College Highway, Southwick, MA 01077.

Animal control position filled By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The manager’s position of the city’s animal control efforts has been filled – but not by the Police Commission, the appointing authority. The position has been vacant since the retirement of Kenneth Frazer, who had held the position since it was established. In late April, Frazer was placed on paid administrative leave but, at the time, no city officials would discuss the move, saying only that it was a personnel issue which could not be discussed. Frazer himself said, in an interview with The Westfield News, that he “wasn’t even told why I was being investigated” and subsequently retained a lawyer in an effort to reclaim his job. After his contract expired at the end of the fiscal year in June, he claimed his retirement benefits. Since Frazer was placed on administrative leave, his role has been filled by his subordinate, animal control officer Kerri Francis, but her tenure as the acting department manager will come to an end when her new boss starts working for the city on Sept. 15. Karin Decker, the city’s acting personnel director, said yesterday that that a hiring committee comprised of herself, Police Chief John Camerota and police Capt. Hipolito Nunez has met, interviewed three candidates, and selected Lori Charett to fill the vacant position. See Animal Control, Page 3
Council authorizes trash container lease By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The City Council voted last night to approve a resolution authorizing the executive branch to enter into a five-year lease-to-own agreement for 13,000 trash containers needed to initiate a single-stream recycling program in the city. The single-stream recycling program is doing away with the bins used to collect paper products in one bin and glass and metal items in a second bin. The bins will be replaced with residents’ current 96-gallon containers which, under the singlestream program, will be used to collect all recyclable materials. The proposed lease-to-own contract is to acquire new, smaller 64-gallon containers for collection of residents’ solid waste trash at an annual cost of $116,899 over the life of the five-year contract. The program is intended to reduce the volume of solid trash being collected by a third, a substantial cost avoidance, and to increase the volume of recyclable materials being sent to the Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) located on Birnie Avenue in See Lease, Page 3

Oops: College exams already had all the answers VIENNA (AP) — Students in Austria sitting down to take university entrance exams this week found themselves with a guaranteed pass — at least for a minute or two. The answers were already filled in. The University of Salzburg says 144 would-be psychology students were given wrong envelopes Tuesday. Instead of the normal tests, they were handed copies with answers meant for the professors grading them. The exams were quickly collected. Paul Lengenfelder of the university’s psychology department said Thursday that the students will be re-tested next month.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Friday, September 5, the 248th day of 2014. There are 117 days left in the year.
O
n September 5, 1914, the First Battle of the Marne, resulting in a French-British victory over Germany, began during World War I.
On this date: In 1774, the first Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia. In 1793, the Reign of Terror began during the French Revolution as the National Convention instituted harsh measures to repress counter-revolutionary activities. In 1836, Sam Houston was elected president of the Republic of Texas. In 1864, voters in Louisiana approved a new state constitution abolishing slavery. In 1913, fire devastated Hot Springs, Arkansas, destroying some 60 blocks. In 1939, four days after war had broken out in Europe, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued a proclamation declaring U.S. neutrality in the conflict. In 1957, the novel “On the Road,” by Jack Kerouac, was first published by Viking Press. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed legislation making
aircraft hijackings a federal crime. In 1972, the Palestinian group Black September attacked the Israeli Olympic delegation at the Munich Games; 11 Israelis, five guerrillas and a police officer were killed in the resulting siege. In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford escaped an attempt on his life by Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, a disciple of Charles Manson, in Sacramento, California. In 1984, the space shuttle Discovery ended its inaugural flight as it landed at Edwards Air Force Base in California. In 1997, breaking the royal reticence over the death of Princess Diana, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II delivered a televised address in which she called her former daughter-in-law “a remarkable person.” Mother Teresa died in Calcutta, India, at age 87; conductor Sir Georg Solti (johrj SHOL’-tee) died in France at age 84.
Ten years ago:
Hurricane Frances struck Florida’s central-eastern coast with heavy rain, submerging entire roadways and tearing off rooftops before entering the Gulf of Mexico. Grief-stricken Russians began burying victims of a terror attack on a school in Beslan that left more than 330 people dead.
Five years ago:
Top finance officials from rich and developing countries agreed
during a meeting in London to curb hefty bankers’ bonuses and maintain stimulus measures such as extra government spending and low interest rates to boost the global economy.
One year ago:
President Barack Obama, in St. Petersburg for a G-20 summit, pressed fellow world leaders to support a U.S. strike on Syria; however, he encountered opposition from Russia, China and even the European Union, who said it was too soon for military action.

Springfield. The MRF recycles materials from 78 communities in the four western counties of the state. Mayor Daniel M. Knapik sent the resolution seeking authorization to enter a five-year, lease-to-own agreement with Municipal Capital Markets Group, Inc. to the City Council at its Aug. 21 session. The City Council is required to approve leases of more than three years as part of its financial oversight. The 11-1 vote approving the resolution followed the recommendation of the council’s Legislative & Ordinance Committee which discussed the recycling program Wednesday night. At-large Councilor Brian Sullivan, L&O chairman, said last night that as a result of that Wednesday discussion “the committee decided not to hold up the single-stream recycling program.”
Continued from Page 1
“But there is some concern about the city’s fleet of trash and recycling trucks,” Sullivan said. “(New) trucks will be needed anyway whether we go to single-stream or not.” Sullivan said the L&O had requested Dave Billips, acting Department of Public Works director to prepare a plan to upgrade the fleet of trash and recycling trucks. “We requested Dave to get us the financial numbers on how we‘re going to pay for those new trucks,” Sullivan said. Wednesday night Billips said the two issues are separate and that even if the City Council does not approve the single-stream lease agreement, the city will still have to replace the aging fleet of trucks equipped with an articulated lift arm needed to lift the trash and recycling barrels. “The (present 2003 model) trucks have See Lease, Page 8

Decker described Charett as a nine-year veteran of the Thomas J. O’Connor Regional Animal Shelter and said that Charett had served as “an animal control officer with some supervisory duties.” The other candidates interviewed were Francis and Nancy Rogers, a veteran veterinary technician who has worked at a city animal clinic for decades. The curious aspect of the hiring process is that hiring authority for animal control operations normally is vested in the city’s Police Commission. The Police Commission routinely interviews and hires candidates for employment as police officers and hired both Frazer and Francis. It does not normally interview applicants for clerical and administrative positions but considers and accepts the recommendations of police leadership. “The commission relinquished their hiring rights over to me,” said Decker but when and how the commission did that seems to be in question since the commission has not met since the position became vacant July 1. She said she did not know why she was asked to become involved in the process to hire a manager for the animal control aspect of the police department. Camerota said that about a month ago he polled the commissioners and “they have given their blessing to have the personnel office oversee that process.” He said that they will formalize that agreement when the commission meets in October as one commissioner is expected to be absent at the September meeting of the commission.
When Decker was asked if the City Solicitor, Susan Phillips, had proffered an opinion about the legality of the commissioners taking action in private she said that Phillips had been kept informed of the process. Phillips said that she had not been asked specifically about the legality of actions by the commissioners when they are not sitting in a formal session. She said that some commis-
sions, which are usually comprised of volunteer commissioners, elect to have professionals interview applicants for employment and then vote to approve or reject nominated candidates. She also said that sometimes interim appointments are made. Camerota said that Charett will begin a six-month probationary period when she reports for work on Sept. 15

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Hollywood hacking scandal may be tipping point
To the Editor To Our Valued Patrons and Concerned Citizens On behalf of the Westfield Athenaeum Board of Directors, our staff, and the many, many patrons we’ve heard from over the past few weeks; I would like to formally and strongly oppose the proposed PVTA bus stop reorganization in downtown Westfield. Moving the bus stop to the designated spot on Elm Street would negatively affect the Athenaeum and its services to the downtown. The loss of two to three parking spaces would have a huge impact on our already delicate parking difficulties. Not a day goes by when we don’t receive numerous complaints about the lack of convenient parking around our building. In learning from our past, we also recognize the additional foot traffic, excessive litter, and weather-related shelter needs that developed when the bus stop was located here several years ago. These were ongoing issues for us and they impacted our daily operations. Currently, the Athenaeum falls far below the state minimum requirements for any future eligibility for state building or renovation funds. For every 400 square feet, we must provide 1 parking spot. For our 40,000 square foot facility, we are grossly underqualified. Our inadequate parking lot barely accommodates our elderly and disabled patrons who use our library regularly. The Elm Street spaces provide quick and relatively easy access to our facility for these and all of our valued patrons. Losing them is simply not an option. Please note that while we support the concept of an easily accessible transport from the downtown to Westfield State University; we do not feel the Elm Street location in front of our facility and United Bank would be the most appropriate place for the bus stop. While the concept of additional free public parking on Court Street is suitable for overflow parking, the reality is that our disabled and elderly patrons will not, or perhaps cannot walk the extra few steps to come to the library. Even for families with children, the one or two minute walk is a lot to ask to simply return or pick-up a book. For several months every year, inclement weather plays a very important role in our parking difficulties as well. Parking bans, snow and ice covered walk ways; and perhaps snow banks will further complicate our already compromised seasonal parking dilemma. I would like to continue the important discussion of parking not only for the Westfield Athenaeum, but also the entire downtown area. We are certainly not alone in our concerns about parking and we would like to work together with all interested parties to discuss solutions. Thank you to the patrons and citizens we have heard from thus far. We appreciate your feedback and stand together with your concerns. To the Councilmen and Councilwomen, please reconsider the proposal to relocate the PVTA R-10 bus stop to the Elm Street location. Please do not hesitate to contact me to further discuss this issue. Sincerely, Cher Collins, Director 413-568-0638
By Todd S. Purdum Politico.com LOS ANGELES — The hacking of nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities is only the latest in a long and lurid line of violations of Hollywood privacy dating back to the earliest days of the movies. But legal experts say the breach — which came to light over the weekend — is an especially troubling one, and the fact that the FBI and federal authorities are taking it seriously may be a sign of a tipping point in the endless war between stars and the bottom-feeding Internet trolls who make the tabloid press look tame. “What was done seems clearly illegal, and a clear invasion of privacy,” said Erwin Chemerinsky, a constitutional law professor at the University of California, Irvine. “If those responsible can be found, they could be criminally prosecuted and civilly sued for invasion of privacy. It is the unfortunate reality that there is no guarantee of privacy once something is put on the Cloud or anything else than can be hacked. But the conduct was illegal and tortious, if those responsible can be caught.” As paparazzi start using drones to do their dirty work, the problem is only worsening. Patrolling cyberspace is an even greater challenge in an era when former President George W. Bush’s private emails (and nude self-portrait) can be hacked and sent racing around the world. Even knowing the evident risks does not lessen the humiliation for victims of the attacks. “I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this,” the actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead (“Smashed” and “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”) wrote on Twitter after nude photos that she took years ago with her husband surfaced online in the latest incident. “Feeling for everyone who got hacked.” Scandalous Hollywood leaks are nothing new, of course. Almost 80 years ago, the leaked diary of the actress Mary Astor set Hollywood and New York aflame with its account of her affair with the playwright and director George S. Kaufman — even if the most sensational testaments to Kaufman’s supposed sexual stamina were forged. “It was all pretty hairy,” Astor would write years later in her memoirs, describing her ex-husband’s efforts to use the diary’s rumored contents against her in a custody trial over their young daughter. When Astor’s own lawyers sought to introduce the diary’s far tamer actual entries, all of Hollywood’s top moguls gathered with the Bank of America’s A.H. Giannini to block the move, lest it bring dishonor on the entire industry. The diary was sealed by court order and finally destroyed (with Astor’s permission) in 1952. In today’s digital universe, no such control is possible. But some in both Hollywood and Washington say it is past time to try to rein in the worst breaches without impeding First Amendment rights. Kate Upton, the niece of Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.), the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, was among those whose private nude images were apparently hacked. A committee spokeswoman emailed POLITICO on Monday that “the committee is continuing to monitor these latest breaches,” adding: “These incidents further underscore why data security legislation is needed, and the committee is

continuing to work toward a workable and bipartisan solution.” Lawrence’s spokeswoman, Liz Mahoney, told news agencies that “the authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photo.” A lawyer for Kate Upton, Lawrence Shire, called the hacked images of his client “an outrageous violation” of her privacy. And the FBI said in a statement that it “is aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile individuals, and is addressing the matter.” The images in question were posted on the bulletin board and image-sharing forum 4chan. Apple said late Tuesday that its technicians found no evidence that iCloud as a whole had been breached. Instead, it concluded after 40 hours of investigation that began over Labor Day weekend that hackers had enough information about certain celebrities to hack their individual accounts, according to The Associated Press. Efforts to tame the seemingly endless appetite for celebrity images have gathered steam in the modern media environment. In 1998, in the wake of the death of the Princess of Wales in a tabloid car chase in Paris, Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) proposed federal legislation that would have made it a crime to chase someone to photograph them in a way that risks bodily harm. That effort would have changed the definition of trespassing to make a photographer’s use of a telephoto lens grounds for a civil suit if the image obtained with it could not otherwise have been taken without setting foot on private property. But the bill foundered, and a similar state law in California has come under court challenge. Just last week, the state Assembly passed and sent to Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk a bill that would make drone photographers liable for invasion of privacy when they record and photograph people in their backyards and homes There has long been a more or less ugly race to invade the privacy of the rich and famous. The word “paparazzo” itself comes from the surname of a shutterbug character who chased Anita Ekberg around Rome in Federico Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita” in 1960. The photographer Ron Galella stalked Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis mercilessly for years, and The National Enquirer and other supermarket tabloids have made a specialty of publishing pictures of sagging tummies and exposed tushies for decades. In more recent years, the leak of a sex tape has become practically a required rite of passage for B-list celebrities of all stripes, though typically at the hands of a spurned lover or disgruntled employee. Others, like former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) have brought trouble on themselves by posting private images on Twitter. What seems especially egregious about the latest leak of photos (and perhaps videos, too) is that they were apparently stored in cyberspace in a place that the victims believed was as safe as a locked bedroom drawer — whether or not that was so. A wave of “they should have known better” commentary on social media was soon matched by a chorus of “don’t blame the victim!” defenses. One thing seems clear: The old days — bad or good as they may have been — are gone forever. In “You Must Remember This,” his poignant memoir of life in Hollywood’s Golden Age, Robert Wagner writes that the biggest stars socialized in public, bought their own clothes during regular business hours without bodyguards, flew commercial and were generally left alone (and constantly protected by studio publicity machines whose specialty was quashing embarrassing stories). About the only thing that he and his wife Natalie Wood couldn’t do without creating chaos, he wrote, was take their children to Disneyland. Now, the whole world is watching, all the time — whether the stars think it is or not.

WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A fire in the pool and sauna area of a West Springfield hotel forced the evacuation of guests, but there were no reports of injuries. The blaze at the Comfort Inn was reported at about 10 p.m. Thursday. The fire was limited to the pool and sauna area, which is in a separate building in the rear of the main building. Smoke did enter the main hotel area and guests reported smelling burning plastic. The exact cause of the fire remains under investigation. The state Fire Marshal’s office is assisting.
Great white attack petrifies Massachusetts kayakers PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — A pleasant trip by two Massachusetts kayakers to check out some cute seals turned terrifying as the pair encountered a great white shark. Ida Parker and Kristin Orr, who describe themselves as experienced kayakers, say they were about 150 yards off shore Wednesday evening taking pictures of seals when something came up from beneath and tried to take a bite out of one kayak, spilling both of them into the water. “It happened so fast,” Orr said. “I was talking to (Parker) and the next minute I’m in the water and I just see a shark biting my kayak.” Parker got an up close look. “It was dark gray, pointy nose, big teeth, big eyes,” Parker said. “It was like right next to me. It was petrifying.” Orr said she started thrashing around, which she acknowledges she probably shouldn’t have done. The fish swam away and the Plymouth harbormaster rescued the women, both in their 20s, after a bystander called 911. A spokeswoman for the state Division of Marine Fisheries says an agency expert determined that it was a great white shark due to a tooth fragment and the bite radius left in one of the kayaks. Great whites have become

HOMEDESIGN
Exterior Decorating:
Updating with paints, trims By MELISSA KOSSLER DUTTON Associated Press Color and decorative pieces can improve the look of a home outside as well as in. Add trim boards, columns or porch accessories and you can dress up the facade of a house, improving its value and curb appeal. Just be sure to consider the home’s style, age and location. “The style of the house drives the type of materials you might add,” said architect Carolyn Dias of Lampert Dias Architects in San Clemente, California. “A cottage can’t be transformed to a Spanish Colonial.” Neighborhood associations or local building departments also might impose restrictions on what can be done to a home’s exterior and what paint colors can be used. In any case, pay attention to how neighboring homes look when changing yours. You want your house to look like it belongs, said Shari Hiller of PBS’ “Around the House with Matt and Shari.” She recommends scouting nearby streets for inspiration. PAINT See what paint colors the neighbors have chosen, what features they are highlighting and how many colors they have used. Hiller typically recommends just two to four colors for a house’s exterior. Often, homeowners choose one color for the bulk of the house; similar or complementary colors for windows, gutters and other trim pieces; and a pop of contrasting color on the door or shutters. Highlighting the door or shutters with color is an easy way to make a big impact, said Hiller. And drawing attention to the front door is always a good idea. “You want people to notice where guests generally enter your home,” she explained. “It’s nice to make a statement there.” Consider the roof color as well, she added. Roofs tend to be in either cool or warm colors, and your paint choice should be in the same family. Where you live could drive your choices. Florida houses tend to be painted in a different palette — often shades of peach, beige and gold — than homes in New England or the Midwest, for example, said Hiller, who lives in Sarasota. Some colors, such as maroon and other earthy shades, make more sense on Colonial homes than coastal cottages, which are often painted in ocean-inspired blues and greens, she said. Paint stores can provide ideas about what colors are right for different building styles. TRIM AND OTHER EMBELLISHMENTS Veneers — layers of material added after construction that do not offer structural support — are another way to change the outside of a home. Adding a wood, brick or stone
veneer creates color and texture, Dias said. Veneers cost about $10 to $20 a square foot. “There are many kinds of veneers and they are fairly easy to apply,” Dias said. Exterior wainscoting panels are another way to add interest to a facade. The panels, usually embellished with a raised or recessed design, can draw attention to a window, porch or other architectural detail. If you have a front porch, you can create a new look by adding or embellishing its columns, said Dave Morris of Nashville, Tennessee, who operates the website www. front-porch-ideas-and-more.com . Changes can be simple, like hanging decorative brackets where the columns meet the roof, or complex, like installing columns or adding stone or brickwork to them. Morris, too, emphasizes staying true to the architectural style of your home. For example, don’t add Victorian-style gingerbread trim to a modern house. Brackets and balusters come in a variety of materials and styles. “Think about what effect you want to have — something subtle or something that really stands out,” Morris said. When Lynn and Dennis Zawie decided to add rails and balusters to the porch that runs around two sides of their 1925 Dutch Colonial house, they wanted the trim pieces to look as original as possible. The Stony Brook, New York, residents visited lumber yards and bigbox stores, and looked at dozens of photos of houses online. “I really wanted it to look like it had been here forever,” said Lynn Zawie. “I was very concerned about changing the look and the feel of the house.” The couple finally decided to go with wood balusters, even though they would require more upkeep. The addition of 300 white balusters and a stained-wood top railing dramatically improved the look of the home, they say. “It just adds to it,” she said. “It makes it stand out more.”

Average 30-year mortgage rate holds steady WASHINGTON (AP) — The average 30-year U.S. mortgage rate this week remained at a 52-week low of 4.10 percent for the third straight week. Mortgage company Freddie Mac also said Thursday the average for a 15-year mortgage, a popular choice for people who are refinancing, slipped to 3.24 percent from 3.25 percent. At its 52-week low of 4.10 percent, the rate on a 30-year mortgage is down from 4.53
percent at the start of the year. Rates have fallen even though the Federal Reserve has been trimming its monthly bond purchases, which are intended to keep long-term borrowing rates low. The purchases are set to end in October. The low rates appear to have boosted U.S. home sales. Also, moderating increases in home prices such as occurred in July should help support sales by making homes more affordable. Real-estate data provider CoreLogic reported

Tuesday that home prices rose in July but at a slower rate compared with earlier this year. Greater affordability has helped the housing market recover over the spring and summer after sales and construction fell earlier this year. Sales of existing homes rose for a fourth straight month in July to their strongest pace in nine months. And a measure of signed contracts also increased in July, suggesting that final sales will rise further in coming months. To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country between Monday and Wednesday each week. The average doesn’t include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount. The average fee for a 30-year mortgage was 0.5 point, unchanged from last week. The fee for a 15-year mortgage fell to 0.5 point from 0.6 point. The average rate on a fiveyear adjustable-rate mortgage was stable at 2.97 percent. The fee stayed at 0.5 point. For a one-year ARM, the average rate edged up to 2.40 percent from 2.39 percent. The fee dipped to 0.4 point from 0.5 point.

Ask a Designer: Tween bedroom’s a balancing act By MELISSA RAYWORTH Associated Press Decorating a baby’s room is all about what mom and dad want. But decorating a bedroom for a “tween-age” child is more complicated. It’s a great place to give growing adolescents some creative freedom. But will they reject at age 12 the color palette and furniture they begged for when they were 10? Kids grow up fast enough that parents may not want to rush the process by removing all childhood whimsy from their rooms. But we also don’t want to redecorate each time our kids get just a bit more mature. So we’re left walking the line between playful and Mom-I-can’t-believe-you-bought-methis-furniture. Here, designers Michelle Workman of Michelle Workman Interiors, Brian Patrick Flynn or Flynnside Out Productions and Betsy Burnham of Burnham Design offer advice on designing a tween bedroom that has ample storage, homework space and enough cool style to keep kids happy year after year. COOLER COLORS Kids love color, but it’s practical to start with a neutral base. Flynn suggests going all-white on walls and ceiling but adding texture “to keep all-white from reading flat or sterile.” “I use 1-inch-by-10-inch pine planks on the walls and install it horizontally,” he says, “then have it all whitewashed or painted solidly. This brings architecture to the room and also creates a linear backdrop for showcasing favorite things.” Workman recently designed a bedroom for a 10-year-old boy with gray walls and cabinetry. “Gray allows you to layer either cool or warm colors on top,” she says, “whereas beige tends to only work with warm colors, and then the room becomes too warm.” She added a navy leather sofa (“a pullout for sleepovers,” she says, “and leather only gets better with age”), plus a rug, throw pillows, an ottoman and chairs that included shades of orange and turquoise. The result: playful but not immature. Another approach: “Red, white and blue has become a modern classic for boys and girls,” Flynn says. “For a masculine touch, I’m a fan of sticking with rich navy and fire-engine red. Girl spaces are an excellent fit for more muted blues such as robin’s egg or sea foam, and more poppy shades of red such as cherry,” he says. What if your kids have their hearts set on colors you think won’t work? Respect their input, Burnham says, but adjust the shades as necessary: “It’s your house, too. If you don’t want a schoolbus-yellow wall, what can you live with? Maybe a dijon, or maybe the school-bus yellow is his bedside lamp.” If your daughter wants purple, “maybe it’s a gray lavender,” she says, or another shade of purple that “she won’t get sick of in six months.” WILDER WALLS For walls, “tweens and teens tend to favor bold patterns, and find wallpaper cool due to its vintage, retro appeal,” Flynn says. “If wallpaper is too much of a commitment,” he adds, “consider a graphic treatment on the walls with paint. Stripes are classic and gender-neutral, plus they’re not too difficult to paint.” SMARTER STORAGE Toys, trophies, books, papers and a whole lot of electronics: Kids have an awful lot of stuff. Burnham suggests choosing a wall “that can accommodate 18 inches of depth or 22 inches of depth,” and have built-in cabinets and shelves installed. “Built-in cabinetry is so very handy in a tween room,” agrees Workman. It allows “an easy transition to a teenage space” because you’re not dealing with furniture that the child may no longer like. Custom carpentry can be expensive, but it’s an investment in your home’s value. You can save money by using less expensive wood or MDF (medium-density fiberboard manufactured to look like wood). And “don’t be afraid to use Ikea as a resource for inexpensive cabinetry that can be given a built-in look by adding crown molding and baseboards,” Workman says. For free-standing storage pieces, Flynn suggests hitting a flea market or garage sale: “This way, the tween has something cool that becomes a huge part of their room’s design, but also is packed with practicality. Some of my go-to items are Danish modern desks with sleek drawers, rustic metal lockers and three-drawer dressers to use as nightstands.” UNEXPECTED FINDS

These are completely separate issues. If you do or don’t go single-stream, we’ll still be back here in a couple of weeks for money to replace the trucks.” At-large Councilor Cindy Harris, who cast the dissenting vote last night, said she had several concerns about the adequacy of the proposed single-stream recycling program. “I have a couple of questions,” Harris said. “Single-stream is a great program, but I will vote ‘no’ on this. People are upset because this program is replacing the larger trash containers with smaller ones.” At-large Councilor James R. Adams said that he too shared Harris’ concern and had asked Billips and Casey Berube to clarify the policy. “I asked if trash will be picked up if it’s not in the (65-gallon) barrel and if people will be able to purchase an extra barrel,” Adams said. “They said these are some of the things they will consider.” At-large Councilor Dan Allie said he knows of larger families, who recycle, but “are still filling the larger (96-gallon) containers. I think we are making a mistake going to the smaller barrels.” At-large Councilor David A. Flaherty said the program makes him “a little nervous” because of the cost of shipping a greater volume of recyclable materials to Springfield. “We’ll be paying someone to drive to Springfield instead of to Twiss Street,” Flaherty said. Ward 6 Councilor Christopher Crean said the concept of single-stream is to reduce the volume of solid waste the city has to pay to ship to a landfill or incinerator. “We’re going to single-stream to encourage people to recycle more,” Crean said. “And they will be allowed to recycle more types of materials. Other communities have done it very successfully and profitably.” Ward 2 Councilor Ralph Figy said “this will take some adjustment by residents, but it’s something we’ll work on.” Ward 5 Councilor Robert Paul Sr., said “I have not heard any complaints, but I have heard a lot of support” for the singlestream recycling program.

Kareta family reaches fundraising goal WESTFIELD – The Kareta family of Westfield will hold a Memorial Scholarship Benefit to honor the memory of Joe Kareta on Sunday, September 14 from 2-7 p.m. at the Summit View in Holyoke. Joe Kareta earned his bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Westfield State in 2010 and passed the State Police Exam shortly after graduation. Just three months later, he was struck by a drunk driver while walking to the mailbox at his aunt’s house in South Hadley, and died from his injuries. To honor Joe, parents Fred and Kathy Kareta, sister Kerry Kareta, and aunt Marilyn Sicotte established the Joe Kareta Scholarship. Two separate scholarships are awarded by the Citizen’s Scholarship Fund and the Westfield State University Foundation. The scholarship is awarded annually to multiple recipients. Any high school senior or present Westfield State student from Hampden or Hampshire County who is studying criminal justice or a related field and demonstrates a financial need, a track record of volunteerism in their
community, and has a grade point average of 3.0 or higher, is eligible to apply for the funds. “We wanted to create something positive out of something so horrific,” Sicotte said. The proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit the Joe Kareta Scholarship. Kathy Kareta said they modeled the criteria for the scholarship after Joe, particularly the community service aspect. “Joe was always volunteering for stuff,” Kathy said. “He fixed a fence at a church that he didn’t even go to. Even the day he died, he did five good deeds.” Fundraising began in 2010 shortly after Joe’s death. Sicotte jokily suggested they raise $100,000 for the scholarship, and little did she know, their goal would be met in less than four years. “It’s amazing,” Sicotte said. “I’m very proud of the people who have consistently helped us raise this money. Nothing of this magnitude could come from one person.” Fred Kareta agrees. “It’s all thanks to the people of the community,” Fred said.
Sicotte said the scholarship allows Joe’s legacy to live on. “Nothing will ever replace him, but every time we hold a fundraiser or give out a scholarship, someone hears Joe’s story,” Sicotte said. “It keeps Joe’s memory alive.” Fred and Kathy Kareta said they will continue fundraising efforts and hope to increase the value of the scholarship and the number of scholarships awarded over time. Tickets are $20. There will be a buffet dinner, cash bar, and live music by Dan O’Sullivan and the Bad Habit Band. Your benefit ticket automatically enters you into a raffle for 300 lottery tickets and additional raffle tickets are available for purchase with prizes including a lobster cruise down Cape Cod, Patriots and Red Sox game tickets, sports memorabilia, a designer purse, and more. Tickets can be purchased from the following people: Barry and Janet Stowe (413) 642-3930, The Kareta family (413) 533-9725, Marilyn Sicotte (508) 867-6875, and Pat Paul (413) 427-3006.

BOYS’ SOCCER KNOT THIS TIME Westfield 1, Pittsfield 1 Westfield would not be denied at least a tie, rallying on the road against Pittsfield. Pittsfield opened with the game’s first goal on a beautiful combo play which resulted in Jackson Rich’s score from 25 yards out. Westfield responded. Matt Butera rifled a shot from the same distance as Pittsfield’s goal to knot the game at 1-all. “They were all over us early, but we calmed down,” Westfield coach Andrew Joseph said. “We settled down and played possession ball.” “It was a game that could have went either way,” he added. “It was very physical, a good battle.”

2014 WSU football season preview WESTFIELD — The Pete Kowalski era begins at Westfield State, as for the first time in 24 years, the Owls have a new head coach. Kowalski, the Owls longtime defensive coordinator, becomes just the fifth head coach in school history. Kowalski has a strong talent base to draw from, as Westfield returns 20 seniors, the largest senior class in school history, four allconference players, and a group of 44 new freshmen and transfers. “With 44 new players we were ale to bring a high degree of competition to preseason camp,” said Kowalski. I’ve been very happy with the dedication of our upper classmen in the off season, and we have great leadership from our seniors, including captains Troy Cutter, Michael Mercadante and Cam Willcox.” Junior quarterback Erik Washburn is the incumbent as starter. Washburn opened the year as the Owls signal caller last year, before a shoulder injury derailed his season in the third game. He tossed three touchdown passes in the season opener, and then engineered a win over Western New England in a big rivalry game. Senior Steve Guercio will also vie for reps leading the Owls. Tailback Mike Mercadante returns for his senior season. He gained 519 yards and score four TD’s a year ago in just six games. The workhorse has gained more than 1700 yards in his career and scored 23 touchdowns for the Owls in three seasons. Junior Colby Bostek can provide a change of pace in the running game. He tallied 380 yards and found the end zone four times last season. Sophomore Tanner Ford and freshman Ryan Sweeney will help open up holes from the fullback position. The Owls veteran offensive line should be a strength, led by all-conference center Wayne McGillicuddy. Seniors Eddie Fallon, Kyle Seidnitzer, and Tom Sarkisian team with sophomore John Bradway to give the Owls a cohesive unit up front. Senior Peter Knowles, or freshmen Mekiah Lambert and David Kwasny give the Owls options at tight end, where the team must replace two quality graduates in Jeff Winchell and Jake Storey who saw the majority of theplaying time a year ago. Wide receiver is the one slot where new faces abound. The Owls graduated their top two outside threats (Kevin Nicol and Kane Terrelli) from a year ago. Bobby Boire, Scotty Nye, Yinka Areago and Colin Smith are
among the group that is competing for jobs in the passing game. Kowalski has led the owls to several nationally ranked defensive units in the past and this year should be no exception. The front seven looks to be the strength of the defense. All-conference senior captain Troy Cutter led the team with 75 tackles and three interceptions from his middle linebacker spot in 2013. Cutter will be joined by senior Julon McCoy who made 25 tackles a year ago, and senior Nick Sullivan or sophomore David Driscoll at outside linebacker. The defensive line may be the strongest and deepest group on the team, bolstered by return of Mike Mizzoni and Cam Wilcox who missed 2013 with injures. Senior Marcus Pettigrew was second on the team in 2013 with 68 tackles, and had 10 tackles for losses and four sacks. Jonathan Lytle was also an all conference pick and led the team with 14 TFL’s and five sacks. Seniors Justin McGrath and Bill Greene played key roles a year ago and will see time again this year. Wilcox and Mizzoni were stalwarts in 2012, each making more than 30 tackles with the ability to get after the passer. Junior free safety Greg Sheridan totaled 53 tackles and 3 interceptions, and earned regional Academic All America honors last year. Sam Laurin switches sides of the ball after playing at wide receiver last year and moves to corner. Juniors Joey Mespelli and Chris Storey will see time as well. The special teams returns both kickers in Mike Bortolussi, who kicked extra points last year, and all conference kicker Michael Orellana who converted on 9 of 16 field goal tries, including a 42-yarder. The Owls return a veteran coaching staff that includes Sean O’Brien, who moves to defensive coordinator, and newcomer Robert Grammer takes over as offensive coordinator. “Coach O’Brien and I have been together for 18 years, and I know he will continue our tradition of excellence on our defense,” said Kowalski. “I want this to be a football program of which the University can proud,” said Kowalski. “We want to continue the tradition of excellence that Coach Marino began, and we ask three things of our players – to be champions in the classroom; be champions in the community and be champions on the football field.”

Packing With Pouches Dear Heloise: When traveling, take a small hanging POUCH with several zipper compartments for toiletries and makeup to hang in the bathroom. Also, take a large hanging pouch with four compartments for underwear, socks, shirts or anything you use on a regular basis to hang in the closet. No need to use drawers, and it packs easily in the suitcase. -- Sharyn F., Rockville, Md. Learning how to pack to save space and weight is important. Thanks for the hint! -- Heloise SNOW-GLOBE SECURITY Dear Heloise: I came up with a helpful hint while packing for a move. I have a collection of snow globes. Not only are they glass and fragile, but if they break, they can leak and ruin other things that they are packed with. Here is my solution: I wrapped the snow globes in paper and then placed them each in a largesize, zippered plastic bag. (You could double-bag, if you like.) If something were to happen during the move and one broke, the bag would collect any water, and I wouldn’t have to worry about it ruining anything else. -- C.M. in Texas CHANGING SIZES Dear Heloise: Even though our grandchildren live overseas, I like to sew and buy clothes for them. This is what works for me: Whenever I am with them, I take a large piece of paper, lay them down on it and trace them head to toe. Not only is it fun for the kids, but it is a way to keep up with their continually changing sizes. -- Corrine B., Universal City, Texas

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My cousin is 53 years old and is in and out of jobs. He has no place to go and parked his van on my property on the condition that he stay no more than five months. He asked for permission to use my laundry equipment and electricity. But he’s already stayed 10 months, uses my facilities without permission and leaves things all over my front yard. On several occasions, I kicked him out, and he refused to leave. Several of my neighbors reported a squatter in the residential area, and the police arrived to deal with the complaint. They only request that he leave. But he’s still here. How do I get rid of him? -- Cousin of a Squatter Dear Cousin: Depending on your local law, you can call the police and tell them your cousin is trespassing on your property, in which case, they may be able to forcibly make him move. Otherwise, you may need to sue him to get him evicted. In either case, we recommend you consult an attorney about what you can do. Dear Annie: I am amazed that women do not realize that one of the primary reasons they are not being asked out is simply because they insist on traveling in packs. Men do not like to break into a group of women just to ask one of them to dance or to chat. Some years ago, I did an experiment with a female friend, asking her to place herself alone against a wall in a bar with her arms behind her. It took less than five minutes for someone to come up and ask if he could buy her a drink. Meanwhile, as I looked around, I saw many men standing about and many women in groups chatting away with no man even close to them. Wake up, women. You have the ability to change your dating success pronto. -- PB Watching Dear PB: A lone woman might indeed attract more attention, but not always for the right reasons. Women travel in packs for their own protection. Not every man is trustworthy. A woman who is alone at a party, for example, runs a real risk of being assaulted when she leaves, if not before, especially if liquor is involved. If a woman chooses to separate herself from her friends to get attention, that’s fine, as long as she lets her friends know where she is and with whom. Dear Annie: I was very touched by the letter from “L.A., Calif.” I, too, am a single mother of two children. My kids were 4 and 8 when I divorced their dad. He had supervised visitation, which he chose to give up. Our children have not seen their father in 10 years. Is there resentment? I would say more hurt than anything. He chose everything else over his family. For a long time, my daughter has wanted to change her name from her father’s last name. My son doesn’t seem to care. Now that they both are adults, they can legally change their name without parental consent. I think your advice was great, but I don’t believe a name change needs to have anything to do with Mom’s animosity toward her ex. I think it is her intent to give her children a connection to what is constant and stable in their lives: their mother. Taking her maiden name will help them feel more attached to someone who means so much to them and won’t abandon them. My kids have thrived, are mature beyond their years and surround themselves with positive friends. I have absolutely no regrets. Being granted total physical and legal custody was the best gift the judge could have given us. -- Been There, Done That, Happier for It

Seahawks dominate Green Bay to begin 2014 By TIM BOOTH AP Sports Writer SEATTLE (AP) — The ceremony was brief, lasting less than 10 minutes. The Seattle Seahawks celebrated the accomplishment of winning their first Super Bowl title last season, unveiling the championship banner and giving their fans one more opportunity to savor the feat. Then it was over, and the process of trying to repeat started in impressive fashion with a 36-16 romp over Green Bay on Thursday night. Marshawn Lynch ran for 110 yards and two touchdowns, Percy Harvin had 100 combined yards rushing and receiving, and the Seahawks dominated Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Their effort against the Green Bay — a popular pick to contend in the NFC — will only reinforce the belief Seattle is still the favorite in the conference. “We got a lot of playmakers just looking to get the ball,” Harvin said. “Every time we get a chance, we’re definitely looking to make the most of it.” Wilson was outstanding in the first half, including a 33-yard touchdown pass to Ricardo Lockette, and added a 15-yard TD pass to Derrick Coleman in the fourth quarter. Wilson finished 19 of 28 for 191 yards. Rodgers struggled as the Packers were held to 255 total yards, the third-fewest for Green Bay since the start of the 2012 season. Rodgers was 23 of 33 for 189 yards and was isolated to one side of the field. He looked almost exclusively for Jordy Nelson matched up against Byron Maxwell and never threw in Richard Sherman’s direction. “I think that you get wake-up calls and then you get drill-sergeant-kick-you-out-the-bed calls and I think we just got kicked out the bed onto a cement floor, and it hurt,” Green Bay defensive lineman Mike Daniels said. Here’s what we learned from Seattle’s impressive debut: BEAST MODE: Despite holding out from the first week of training camp and getting limited carries during the preseason, Lynch doesn’t appear to be on the verge of a drop-off. Seattle punished the middle of Green Bay’s defensive front with Lynch regularly not getting hit until he was past the line of scrimmage. He averaged 5.5 yards per carry and recorded his 20th 100-yard game since the start of the 2011 season. That’s the most of any running back in the NFL. “Obviously we were the more physical team today, offensively and defensively. I saw supposedly some of the best players in the league not want to tackle Marshawn Lynch,” Seattle defensive end Michael Bennett said. “Of course nobody is going to say nothing about that, but I seen a lot of guys whiff on tackles that should have been two-yard gains and they’re supposed to be the best.” DEEP ENOUGH: The Packers don’t seem concerned that the left knee injury suffered by right tackle Bryan Bulaga in the second quarter will be a major setback. But it’s clear the dropoff to backup Derek Sherrod was significant. Seattle picked on Sherrod in the second half with Cliff Avril getting a key fourth-down sack to stop a Green Bay drive in Seattle territory and later Bennett’s sack and forced fumble that ended up being recovered by Sherrod in the end zone for a safety. THE HARVIN EFFECT: Everyone knew Seattle was going to use Harvin in a variety of ways and they were all on display in the first half. Harvin was used on quick screens, fly sweeps, in traditional wide receiver patterns and he even lined up next to Wilson as a running back at one point. Harvin finished with 11 offensive touches for 100 combined yards. He had seven receptions for 59 yards and four rushes for 41 and that doesn’t take into account the attention Green Bay paid Harvin when he wasn’t getting the ball. “We had a ton of different ways to show how we’re fitting him together in the offense,” Carroll said. “There’s a bunch of other stuff that we’ll do, but he’s such an explosive athlete and so tough.” UNLUCKY LACY: The talk for Green Bay was while they were going to play more uptempo on offense it would also be more balanced with Eddie Lacy entering his second season. Lacy was essentially a non-factor getting held to 34 yards rushing on 12 carries and leaving in the fourth quarter with a concussion. Take away his longest run of 15 yards and Lacy had 11 carries for 19 yards. PUNT SAFETY: With the departure of Golden Tate in the offseason, who would take over returning punts was one of Seattle’s big questions entering the season. Earl Thomas did little to ease worries about that position in the opener. Thomas returned his first punt 3 yards, then fumbled the second when Green Bay’s Davon House was blocked into Thomas by Richard Sherman. It was a ball that Thomas likely should have called for a fair catch but took the risky chance in traffic. “In both of those, he’s so aggressive with it, he got vulnerable that second time and he got pounded the first time too,” Carroll said. “We’ll keep working on it and get better.” ——— AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL

Tom Brady skips practice with calf injury FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady is nursing a calf injury that forced him to miss practice for New England’s opener Sunday at Miami. The Patriots announced the reason for the quarterback’s absence Thursday in their daily participation and injury report. He was the only player added to the team’s first report of the week that was issued Wednesday. Tight end Rob Gronkowski and defensive linemen Michael Buchanan, Chris Jones and Sealver Siliga practiced on a limited basis Wednesday and Thursday. “Practice is practice,” safety Devin McCourty said. “I’ve been here now five years. It’s not the first time he hasn’t been out there at practice.

So practice still goes on even without Tom.” Coach Bill Belichick did not meet with reporters Thursday. The Patriots planned to practice Friday before leaving for Miami. Brady appeared in good spirits at his weekly meeting with reporters Wednesday morning before that day’s practice. Rookie Jimmy Garoppolo, the Patriots’ second-round draft choice, is the only other quarterback on the 53-man roster. He beat out Ryan Mallett, Brady’s backup the past three seasons, for the No. 2 job, and the Patriots traded Mallett to the Houston Texans last Sunday for a sixth-round or seventh-round draft choice in 2016.
