How many fools
does it take to make up a public?” — Nicolas Chamford
75 cents
Use of surplus insurance fund opposed
Road study nearly complete By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The results of a study of Southwick’s roads will soon be complete. Department of Public Works Director Randal Brown said Beta Group has finished its assessment of the town roadways and is compiling the data to prioritize projects. Beta Group, based out of eastern Mass., has had RANDAL crews in Southwick BROWN looking closely at the roads. “They are looking for any deficiencies in the roadway such as cracking and other things,” said Brown. “They measured road width and noted whether or not they were striped, and gave each road a rating of 0 to 100, with 100 being a brand-new road.” Beta Groups crews just finished the field work last week. “Now they are compiling data and will present their report,” said Brown. “The report will be a guide.” Brown said prioritizing the roads is based on roads in the most need of repairs, as well as which roads are most heavily traveled. “I am hoping to meet with the consultants next week to go over a draft report,” said Brown. The town must go to bid for the work and Brown said there are funds in the budget to begin paving by fall. “We get funding from Chapter 90 money from the state in the range of about $360,000, plus the town also allocates funds,” he said. “My goal is to do some improvements every year – this has to become a yearly program in order to maintain our roads.” In March, the Board of Selectmen unanimously approved contracting with Beta Group for a $16,700 pavement program. Brown said he solicited quotes from three companies for pavement programs. Only two returned bids. The Pioneer Valley Planning Commission proposal was $9,400 and Beta Group was $16,700, said Brown. “Despite the higher cost, I feel the Beta Group program is superior,” he told the

WSU Alumni Assoc. to host annual Reunion Weekend WESTFIELD – The Westfield State Alumni Association will host its annual Reunion Weekend, two days of activities for Westfield State alumni, Saturday, June 21 through Sunday, June 22. All alumni are invited, but there will be specific activities and receptions for the Classes of 1964 and 1989, as well as alumni of Residential Life/Orientation Staff and the Urban Education program. “Returning to campus for reunion weekend is like returning home,” said Kathi Bradford, director of Alumni Relations. “Seeing your classmates, spending time on campus, living in the residence halls with lots of laughter, memories, and fun…We hope our alumni will return and reacquaint themselves with our beautiful campus and remember the wonderful times they spent here.” Reunion Weekend features many planned outings and activities. The Class of 1964 will have the option to take a shuttle to the Berkshires to visit the Norman Rockwell Museum. Alumni can take a tour of the campus to see the new construction and changes that have happened since their graduation. There will be an Alumni Store open in University Hall, Westfield State’s newest housing unit. Saturday afternoon features a Reunion Weekend BBQ with food, a cash bar, and entertainment. Following the barbeque will be “Cup Time in the Courtyard” featuring the music of “Just George,” a Westfield State
By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The City Council voted Thursday to use more than $800,000 to pay the ice and snow removal account deficit before the end of the of the fiscal year on June 30. State law allows cities and towns to deficit spend on snow and ice removal because of the unpredictability of New England winters, but those deficits have to be paid before the end of the fiscal year or they are added to BRIAN P. the base of the fol- SULLIVAN lowing year’s budget, resulting in even higher tax rates. “The city and mayor do not have to fully fund the snow and ice removal account under state law because Mother Nature does not tell us what she is doing from year to year,” At-large Councilor Brian Sullivan said Thursday. “It’s the only account we can deficit spend, some years that deficit is not that much.” Mayor Daniel M. Knapik requested the council members to approve the transfer of those funds from the city’s health insurance account to cover $488,360 in the snow and ice account for payment to private contractors and $335,807 for supplies, primarily sand and salt. Knapik said last week prior to the City Council meeting that the city had the health insurance funds available because of a surplus in the account and the fact that the city declared a premium holiday, meaning that neither the city nor municipal employees were required to pay a monthly premium. The council had to vote on both of Knapik’s transfer requests, with a 10-2 vote to approve the $488,360 transfer and a vote of 9-3 on the $335,807 transfer. At-large Councilors David Flaherty and Dan Allie voted against both transfers and were joined my Ward 4 Councilor Mary O’Connell on the second vote. “If we have a surplus in the health insurance account, shouldn’t that surplus go toward future health insurance obligations and not the snow and ice account

By BOB SALSBERG Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — The Massachusetts Democratic Convention looms as the biggest political test for gubernatorial hopeful Martha Coakley since an ill-fated U.S. Senate campaign against Republican Scott Brown more than four years ago. Analysts say anything less than a solid showing by the current attorney general at next weekend’s state convention could signal lingering doubts among party insiders. After Coakley’s upset loss in the special election following the death of Democratic icon Edward Kennedy, she won a lightly contested re-election, and polling has shown she remains a popular public figure in Massachusetts and the early front-runner to succeed outgoing Gov. Deval Patrick. State Treasurer Steven Grossman, business executive Joseph Avellone, former federal health care administrator Don Berwick and former Homeland Security official Juliette Kayyem are also running and counting on their share of support from the 6,000 delegates scheduled to gather in Worcester. While the top vote-getter will emerge as the party’s endorsed candidate, others need to collect at least 15 percent of the delegates to advance to the September primary. In an interview, Coakley said finishing first was See Coakley, Page 3

Granville students surpass goal By Robby Veronesi WNG Intern GRANVILLE – Cinderella, Captain Underpants, Dorothy and Toto, Katniss Everdeen, Harry Potter and many storybook characters filed into the Granville Village School gymnasium Friday afternoon for a celebration. Students portrayed their favorite characters and celebrated achieving their 13-week goal of reading and recording a total of 200,000 hours, the first time the school had executed this challenge in several years. “A third-grader gave the suggestion to her thirdgrade teacher,” said GVS faculty member Linda
Tolland
Dickinson. “He came to me and we met and we said ‘let’s go with it.’ We had done it several years ago and hadn’t done one in a while.” The students, ranging from preschool to eighth grade, had the chance to show up in costume as a part of the character parade. Select students from each grade received prizes for best costume and one student received a gift card to Barnes & Noble as part of a raffle, financially supported by the Granville Parents Association. Prizes aside, Dickinson and the faculty attempted to keep the focal point on the intended theme. “I think we really wanted to just get them reading. It

The younger kids have been talking about it for several months. ‘What am I going to be?’” Dickinson would have been Pippi Longstocking, her favorite character growing up. The famed character of Swedish author Astrid Lindgren served as a symbol for what the day represented overall. “She encouraged us to look at things in a new way, question why things are as they are and not to forget to have fun,” quoted Dickinson during her awards ceremony speech. “You have worked very hard throughout the school year and also during the Blue Dragon Reading Challenge. “Today is a celebration,” she said.

School: Aide told students pet treats were cookies
BOYERTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania school district says an aide has been suspended after she tricked students into eating pet snacks by telling them they were cookies. About 75 fourth-graders at New Hanover-Upper Frederick Elementary School received the pet treats during recess Thursday. No injuries were reported. Student Gabriel Moore tells WFMZTV the aide first joked they were dog treats, then told students they were actually cookies. Gabriel ate three. Boyertown Area School District officials notified parents Friday. They didn’t disclose the type of pet treat but said the ingredients would only be harmful to people with certain food allergies. Still, Gabriel’s father, David Moore, says the part-time aide should be “penalized pretty bad.” The aide has been suspended pending an internal investigation.

Art walk kicks off 15-Week celebration WESTFIELD – “The Megaplanet Promenade: The Josh Simpson Art Walk” kicks off a city-wide celebration of the creative arts, Saturday, June 28 from 5-8 p.m. in downtown Westfield. Coordinated by Westfield on Weekends, (WOW), the city’s non-profit producer of community events, “Megaplanet Promenade” is the first event of “The Universe According to Josh Simpson,” a 15-week calendar of events centered on the work of glass artist Josh Simpson. The free art walk will include the opening of three gallery exhibits dedicated to the work of glass artist Josh Simpson, as well as musical performances, art demonstrations, and a pizza contest. Three exhibits of Simpson’s work will appear at three locations: “A Galaxy of Glass: The Luminous World of Josh Simpson” at Westfield State University’s Downtown Art Gallery on 105 Elm Street, “Earth, Sea and Sky Scapes: the Elements of Josh Simpson” at the Jasper Rand Gallery of the Westfield Athenaeum on 6 Elm Street and “Through the Lens of Mike Rossi: Josh Simpson Revealed” at Pilgrim Candle Marketplace at 16 Union Avenue. According to WOW President Bob Plasse, Josh Simpson was chosen as the first honoree because his body of work represents the “confluence of commerce, science, and art and the talents” of Western Massachusetts artists. Simpson is a resident of Shelburne Falls. “While maintaining a high standard of excellence, Simpson has been both commercially and artistically successful,” Plasse said. “Josh’s work ranges from luminous glass spheres encasing kaleidoscopic landscapes, which he calls ‘planets’ and ‘megaplanets’ to exquisite goblets, bowls, platters, and vases.” “His community involvement has endeared him to generations of art lovers and buyers, whether he is exhibiting, conducting workshops in schools and libraries, or encouraging children to discover their own creative spirit,” Plasse continued. Working with Simpson, the project’s steering committee is comprised of representatives of Westfield State, the Westfield Athenaeum, the Westfield Business District, the Westfield Chamber of Commerce, Westfield on Weekends, Inc. and various departments of the city, including Community Development, the Westfield Cultural Council and VIPSVolunteers in Public Schools. Together, the committee has developed a calendar of multi-disciplinary events and activities which explore the breadth of his work, his philosophy, and the glassblowing medium. “The Universe According to Josh Simpson” also celebrates Mr. Simpson’s collaboration with other professional artists and his wife, Catherine “Cady” Coleman, NASA’s most senior active astronaut, whose work in space and as a flutist inspires her husband. From late June through mid- October, the “Universe” calendar will encompass exhibitions, workshops, family activities, stargazing, a film series, demonstrations, and lectures.

Artist Josh Simpson demonstrates his glass blowing process. Additionally, several pub and restaurants will feature special “Universe” drinks and specials, while large posters of Simpson’s work together with thought-provoking quotes and facts about the wonder of the universe will adorn store wall and windows. The calendar of events also features several opportunities for children to demonstrate their creativity. Numerous community organizations and the Volunteers in Public School (VIPS) will sponsor “Infinity Project” contests for area youngsters. Participants at the Boys and Girls Club, The Boys and Girls Library, the Amelia Park Children’s Museum, the YMCA, and in Westfield schools will be asked to write essays as to where they would plant a Simpson infinity planet or to create something artistic that reflects the wonder of the universe. “Infinity Project” winners will be announced at the “Megaplanetpalooza:
The Josh Simpson Street Festival” on Saturday, September 20 in the city center. This day-long street celebration will spotlight the creative economy, the arts community of the region with musical performances by a wide array of musicians, Warchild, a Jethro Tull tribute band from New York City. Funding for “The Universe According to Josh Simpson” is provided by The Kiwanis Club of Greater Westfield, Shurtleff Children’s Services, Inc.,The United Bank Foundation, the Westfield Cultural Council, a local program of the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the Westfield Bank Future Fund program with in-kind assistance provided by Westfield State University, the Westfield Business Improvement District, and the City of Westfield.

FoodPlay delights young audience HUNTINGTON – Students from Chester and Littleville Elementary Schools were able to attend a very special performance of “FOODPLAY” last month in the Gateway Performing Arts Center. Chester Elementary students took a bus down on Thursday, May 29 to see the Emmy award-winning nutrition media company, which uses the power of live theater to engage kids in healthy eating and active lifestyles. Complete with a cast of colorful characters, fantastic feats of juggling, music, magic, and audience participation, FOODPLAY brought is special brand of fun to Gateway. “How many of you eat?” asked the actress playing Coach, which immediately engaged the students in the performance. During the performance, children followed the antics of Johnny Junk Food, whose dream is to become a juggling superstar. With the help of the “Coach” of the National Junior Juggling Team and the
MONDAY, JUNE 9, 2014 - PAGE 3
audience, Johnny learns how to juggle the foods he eats to wind up with a balanced diet. Messages include starting each day with a healthy breakfast, filling half of plates with fruits and vegetables, choosing healthy “GO” foods over “WOE” foods (full of salt, sugar and fats). Students also learn a host of ways to have fun being physically active each day. While the show makes good eating great fun, its
messages are quite serious. In the last 25 years, childhood obesity rates have doubled among elementary school children and tripled among teenagers. One in three children are overweight and less than 2 percent of the nation’s youth are meeting their daily nutritional requirements. On average, kids are drinking over 600 cans of soda and consuming more than 150 pounds of sugars a year, missing out on recommended
levels of fruits, vegetables and whole grains needed for optimal health. The hour-long program also showed kids how to read food labels and encouraged them to make sure that their plates had color (fruits and vegetables) on them. It ended with the “Snack Attack Game Show”, where three randomly picked students answered (with audience help!) healthy food questions. All three received a pack of 5 fruit and veggie “tracker bands”— wrist bands that all start on one hand, and move to the other as each serving of fruit or vegetables is eaten. Food Services Director Wendy McCaul used her award from the USDA’s Healthier U.S. Schools Challenge to pay for the program. She also purchased copies of the book “Fresh Adventure” for the Chester and Littleville Libraries, from her winnings. Gateway schools achieved the Bronze Level last fall, joining just 3 percent of schools in the country who qualified for the award.
Surplus Insurance Continued from Page 1 which is consistently short of funds? ” Flaherty asked. “We know we could budget more (for the snow and ice account.)” “I hope the mayor comes back to put this money in the OPEB (other post employment benefit) of health insurance accounts,” Flaherty said before the vote to approve the transfers. O’Connell said that during her tenure on the City Council there has always be a significant snow and ice removal deficit. “Over the past nine years we’ve always been over $800,000,” O’Connell said. Allie said he opposed the transfer because “we’re taking $800,000 from health insurance for a reoccurring expense.” Allie suggested that the city investigate purchasing insurance that would help fund the snow and ice budget shortfall. “So we can have some sort of consistency,” he said. Sullivan argued that the snow and ice removal deficit is addressed annually with whatever funding is available for the current budget. “This year the city happens to have money in the health insurance budget, so the mayor is thinking outside the box. Sometimes we use free cash,” Sullivan said. “Year to year we don’t know what snow and ice removal will cost. This year it was all of the ice storms.” “But we need to fix the budget and this year this is how we’re doing it,” Sullivan said.
Coakley Continued from Page 1 not a major priority and she was confident of leaving the convention well-positioned for the primary. Her campaign, she added, has worked hard to avoid mistakes that helped doom her Senate campaign. “I think from the beginning we knew that question would be asked, rightfully so,” Coakley said. “This is a different race, this is a different time.” Maurice Cunningham, a political science professor at the University of Massachusetts-Boston, said Coakley’s biggest goal should be reassuring party leaders who remain uneasy about her campaigning skills and ability to connect with voters. “She wants to show them she is not the fumbler that she was in 2010,” he said. Cunningham views Grossman as most likely to win the convention endorsement. A former Democratic National Committee chairman, Grossman has deep ties within the party and has outpaced all gubernatorial candidates in fundraising so far. Grossman, however, has lagged behind Coakley in early public opinion polls that suggest many voters are still largely unfamiliar with him. The convention stakes are higher for Avellone, Berwick and Kayyem. While all three have said they expect to achieve the 15 percent threshold and advance to the primary, simple math dictates that one or two could fall short. Berwick’s call for a single-payer health insurance system has helped him make significant inroads with some of the party’s more liberal members. He’s also the only Democrat calling for repeal of the state’s casino gambling law. Kayyem is viewed by many as a potential rising star within the party and has been the subject of speculation about possible convention floor maneuvering by representatives of other candidates who might gain advantage by having her on — or off — the primary ballot.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the Editor At last night’s city council meeting, some very passionate arguments were made on behalf of supporters of Westfield’s Business Improvement District (BID) and those wishing to dissolve it. To my mind, there’s no question that property owners have legitimate complaints about the BID, especially with the way it was imposed upon them. But there’s also no question that we need a coordinated effort like the BID to help take Westfield to the next level. The city is too broke to do it and other organizations lack the resources as well. Just as Westfield’s downtown is about to turn the corner, it’s much more likely to decay and relapse into disrepair without the BID. That would be a big loss for every Westfield resident and business. So what’s the solution here? First, I think we simply must give the BID some more time to work. Let’s see what it can do now that it has full participation from all property owners within the district. Getting rid of the BID now just as it might become much more effective is premature. Shouldn’t we at least witness what the BID can do with the extra resources it’s receiving? Second, I think the city council should do whatever it can to encourage the two sides to sit down together and hammer out ways to make the BID better. Let’s leverage this challenge to the BID into an opportunity to make the BID work for more property owners. Next, we wait four years. After that time, when BID is up for renewal and the property owners still want to dissolve it, we can at least say we gave it a fighting chance. Steve Dondley
By JULIA AZARI Politico.com The return of Bowe Bergdahl has prompted the latest round of criticism about Obama’s weakness in foreign policy. For Obama’s domestic opponents, calling him weak and ineffective on the world stage is nothing new – we’ve heard it repeated ad nauseam on events from Ukraine to Syria, Venezuela to the South China Sea. And he’s not the first chief executive to face this charge. Harry Truman’s critics complained that he had “lost China.” Jimmy Carter was lambasted as weak due to his response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, his failure to recover American hostages in Iran and for “giving away” the Panama Canal. What has been distinct about Obama’s situation is that his critics have simultaneously accused him of being both weak and excessively strong, with words like “tyrant” and “dictator” popping up regularly. Does this make any sense? How can Obama be both a dictator and a weakling? The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart picked up on the contradiction this spring, after a number of right-wing commentators compared Obama unfavorably with Russian President Vladimir Putin. But the two competing narratives go back further than that. In the spring of 2010, just weeks after Obama was accused of tyranny and “shoving health-care reform down the American people’s throats,” his response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill off the Gulf Coast invited criticism of weakness. It’s not just that both narratives exist as part of the discourse about the Obama presidency; sometimes both come from the same person. Take Sean Hannity. In spring 2013, the Fox News host declared the president weak because of his response to the situation in Syria (Obama was “sucking up” to Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, Hannity said). During Obama’s first year in office, Hannity criticized the president’s position on waterboarding, suggesting, “Now, this president is taking us back in time exposing us to the very same dangers that left us vulnerable before September 11,” and noting, “this president who bowed at the feet of the Saudi king.” Yet in 2012, Hannity registered his dissatisfaction with an executive order that he said would allow Obama to declare “martial law” and with presidential actions that “ignore the basic principles of our Constitution.” In March, Ted Cruz, the voluble Texas senator, announced at the Conservative Political Action Conference that we no longer have a president because Obama has declared himself our dictator. Two days later he was quoted in the Washington Examiner stating that “Obama’s weakness” was a factor determining Putin’s decision to act militarily in Ukraine. As Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank points out, former senator and Heritage Foundation president Jim DeMint also experienced made a quick shift from accusing the president
of being a “playground bully” to pointing out his weakness in facing down the Kremlin. What’s going on here? First, let’s look at the content of these critiques. Sometimes they have been aimed at the actual substance of policy: that the Affordable Care Act is too strong, the president’s policies toward Syria or on torture too weak. But the narratives about dictatorship sometimes focus on process rather than substance. These critiques suggest that the problem lies not with the policies themselves, but rather with Obama’s disregard for constitutional limits and for the separation of powers. Being seen as simultaneously too strong and too weak is a structural condition for presidents. The framers of the Constitution debated about how to design an executive strong enough to protect the country, but still constrained by the rule of law. Writing from the vantage point of the mid-twentieth century, the political scientist Richard Neustadt argued that when presidents resort to unilateral “command,” it means their efforts to persuade others have failed. In this sense, it would certainly be possible for the president to both lack the necessary strength to govern and to have the capacity to use the powers of the office in excessive and even constitutionally questionable ways– in both foreign and domestic policy. In recent decades, presidents have been even more vulnerable to this conundrum. Support for strong executive leadership declined after Vietnam and Watergate, as did trust in government across the board. Yet the need for “energy in the executive,” as Alexander Hamilton described the original design of the office, never went away. Neither did our obsession with the man in the Oval Office; witness how George W. Bush was blamed for the decades-long failings of the Army Corps of Engineers in New Orleans, or how Obama has taken political hits for the actions of VA hospital officials in Phoenix. Two conflicting sets of expectations about presidential leadership have coexisted for about 40 years: Do we want our presidents to micromanage everything, or do we want them to share power—and with it, responsibility? The politics of the 21st century heightened the stakes of this contradiction. First the war on terror, then the economic collapse of 2008, inspired calls for strong leadership and created opportunities for sweeping changes in policy. A number of factors, including party polarization and ambivalence about executive power, contribute to a backlash against presidential action even in the face of such calls. But it’s not all about structure. It’s possible that Obama is such a polarizing individual that figures like Cruz, Hannity and DeMint will take any opportunity to criticize him, even if it contradicts what they said a month ago. George W. Bush, however, was a fairly polarizing figure,
too, and this dual narrative never emerged. Bush, in the eyes of his critics, had dictatorial qualities that included resistance to nuance and to dissenting perspectives. But despite his inability to make headway on signature domestic policy initiatives, including immigration and Social Security—to say nothing of foreign crises like Iraq and Georgia—we simply did not hear opponents call Bush a weak leader. He talked tough, and for many, that was enough. Instead, there’s a case to be made that this dual narrative is specific to the Obama presidency. Subliminal and notso-subliminal messages about Obama’s nationality and masculinity are rife in these critiques. Comparing Putin and Obama, Sarah Palin famously commented that Obama wears “mom jeans.” On matters abroad, the implication—as with the Bergdahl case—is often that Obama demonstrates excessive sympathy for foreigners at the expense of American interests. Dictatorship narratives often include either Soviet or Nazi imagery. The factor tying the two narratives together is the idea that Obama’s very loyalties are suspect. In other words, dictatorship and weakness are both logical extensions of the claim, prevalent in some conservative circles, that Obama is not quite one of us and not an appropriate symbol of American identity. When Cruz declared Obama a dictator in March, he stated, “If you have a president picking and choosing which laws to follow and which laws to ignore, you no longer have a president.” But presidents pushing the boundaries of their authority—and getting attacked for it—is nothing new. George Washington invited criticism for abusing presidential power when he led troops to subdue the Whiskey Rebellion; Andrew Jackson was depicted in cartoons as “King Andrew” dressed in royal garb.What’s new is the dual narrative, and it has popped up again in the debates about Bowe Bergdahl: Alongside claims that Obama has been too weak, we now hear criticisms from Democrats and Republicans about the illegality of Obama’s actions to bring him home. What’s especially frustrating about all this is that there’s a real debate to be had about President Obama’s policies—one that we’re not getting from the likes of Ted Cruz. Is the president too focused on getting the United States out of Afghanistan, at the expense of doing more on crises like Syria? Are there other ways to stop climate change, without resorting to end runs around Congress? These are complex issues. Throwing around words like “dictator” is a great way to guarantee that only a fringe minority will take you seriously.

Obama to order help for student loan debtors By Nirvi Shah Politico.com The president will issue an executive order Monday in the name of easing student borrowers’ debt loads by capping repayments at 10 percent of their monthly income, the White House confirmed to POLITICO. President Barack Obama said in his weekly address Saturday that he would take action on student loan issues in the coming days, but gave no details. The executive order, first reported by the New York Times, will expand on a 2010 law that capped borrowers’ repayment but left a hole in eligibility for people with older loans. Those left out of that relief include people who borrowed before October 2007 or stopped borrowing by October 2011. “This makes it simpler to have one set of terms,” said Jason Delisle, director of the New America Foundation’s Federal Education Budget Project. But he pointed out that all borrowers already have the option of basing loan repayments on their income. Federal student loan debt reached more than $1 trillion last year, an amount that has some economists concerned is creating a chilling effect on spending, home-buying and other economic drivers. “This is commencement season, a time for graduates and their families to celebrate one of the greatest achievements of a young person’s life,” Obama said Saturday. “But for many graduates, it also means feeling trapped by a whole lot of student loan debt.” The economic reasoning behind the maneuver is questionable, however, Delisle said. The president is making the case that “we need to help [student loan debtors] with debt so they can go into even more debt,” such as taking out a mortgage to buy a home. But student loans already helped these borrowers consume beyond their means, he said. The executive order will be part of a White House event on student loans planned for Monday. The White House said the change will allow an additional 5 million borrowers with federal student loans to cap their monthly payments at just 10 percent of their income. Obama’s executive order wouldn’t kick in until December 2015, however, the White House said, to give the Education Department time to propose and enact new regulations.
The Education Department also will renegotiate contracts with federal loan servicers so that they have incentive to keep borrowers from falling behind on payments or defaulting on their loans. The proportion of borrowers defaulting on their federal student loans within three years of beginning to repay them has been rising for several years running: From fiscal year 2009 to 2010 it rose from 13.4 percent to nearly 15 percent. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that capping payments for borrowers at 10 percent will cost the U.S. between about $10 billion and $12 billion. Some of the cost could be offset: For example, some borrowers’ eligibility for having what’s left of their loans forgiven entirely could be delayed by several years. The president has proposed changes like these in his budget several times, Delisle said, but those offsets require action by Congress. The Education and Treasury Departments are working with the big tax prep firms H&R Block and Intuit (maker of TurboTax) on an effort to ensure borrowers are aware of repayment options and tax credits for college tuition, the White House said. The president’s action follows concerns about growing student debt reaching a fever pitch among Senate Democrats. A bill that has Obama’s support from Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is expected on the Senate floor Wednesday, after a series of hearings on student loans, including two last week, as well as a press conference labeling loan debt a “double whammy” for women because of the wage gap. Warren’s proposal would allow existing borrowers to refinance student loans at lower interest rates put into place for new borrowers last year. It has 39 Democratic co-sponsors. The measure is unlikely to pass the Senate, however, and even if it does, it likely would not clear the GOP-led House because of the way it would be financed. Borrowers’ refinancing would be paid for via the so-called “Buffet rule” that would raise taxes on the wealthy. “This bill doesn’t make college more affordable, reduce the amount of money students will have to borrow or do anything about the lack of jobs grads face in the Obama economy,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement to Politico. Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, ranking member on the
Senate education committee, noted the departure from last summer, when Democrats and Republicans came together to keep interest rates on new loans from doubling. “Hopefully he will work that way again instead of joining Senate Democrats’ political stunt to give some former students a $1-a-day subsidy to help pay off loans while raising income taxes by $72 billion and increasing the federal debt by up to $420 billion,” he said in a statement. Delisle, of the New America Foundation, said Obama’s plan is preferable to Warren’s. Refinancing students’ debt would have no effect on their monthly payments, though it could shorten the duration of their payments in the long run. But he questioned the wisdom of helping those who already have attended college instead of finding a way to invest in students who are trying to obtain a degree in the first place. In addition to the White House event planned for Monday, Obama is scheduled to answer questions about student loans on the microblogging site Tumblr on Tuesday.

Fighter jets escort plane out of DC WASHINGTON (AP) — Authorities say two F-16 fighter jets escorted a small airplane out of restricted airspace in Washington, an apparently inadvertent intrusion that prompted evacuations at the U.S. Capitol and surrounding buildings. North American Aerospace Defense Command spokesman Master Sgt. Chuck Marsh says jets escorted the plane to an airport in Mount Airy, North Carolina, where it landed Saturday afternoon. Secret Service agents met the plane there and interviewed the pilot. Transportation Security Administration spokesman Ross Feinstein wrote on Twitter that it appeared the pilot was just confused. The plane had departed from Westfield. U.S. Capitol Police say the Capitol and surrounding office buildings were evacuated about 1:30 p.m. Authorities say the Supreme Court and the Library of Congress were also evacuated, but that security at the White House was not affected.

Tighe & Bond takes home EBC Award WESTFIELD — During its 21st awards celebration in Boston last month, the Environmental Business Council of New England (EBC) presented Tighe & Bond with an award for its role in developing the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center (MGHPCC). The EBC named this state of the art data center, which sits on a former industrial site in Holyoke, the James D.P. Farrell Brownfields Project of the Year. Tighe & Bond was one of several key project contributors to receive this award on behalf of the MGHPCC’s success. Three years in the making and completed in November 2012, the $165 million MGHPCC transformed a historic Holyoke canal mill complex into a gleaming Massachusetts success. It also heralded in a new age of revitalization for this former paper mill city. The purpose of this project was to prepare an abandoned industrial property for
redevelopment into an energyefficient 90,300 square foot data center to support the growing computing needs of five of the most research-intensive universities in Massachusetts. This includes the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of Massachusetts, Northeastern University, Harvard University, and Boston University; together they are known as the MGHPCC consortium. The historic collaboration among the consortium, state government, and private industry has been hailed by some as the most significant collaboration among government, industry and public and private universities in the history of the Commonwealth. Tighe & Bond’s contributions to this project, which achieved LEED Platinum certification in 2013, included demolition engineering, permitting and remediation services to clean up the former 8.5 acre Mastex Industries site prior to the MGHPCC’s construction.
Specifically this encompassed coordination of project funding, hazardous building materials surveys, building demolition design & coordination, creative building debris reuse, environmental permitting activities, assessment and remediation of contaminated soils and groundwater, urban fill soil management, and multi-disciplinary engineering services. Other key contributors to this project’s success include: MGHPCC Consortium, Massachusetts Governor’s Office, Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development, Mass Development, Holyoke Gas & Electric Department (HG&E), City of Holyoke, MIT Department of Facilities, Cisco Systems, EMC Corporation, Pioneer Valley Planning Commission, Leggat McCall Properties, McCarter & English, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Turner Construction, and Haley & Aldrich.

Westfield eak-s out victory in pitcher’s duel By Robby Veronesi WNG Intern AMHERST – The bottom third of the Westfield lineup managed just two hits from their 16 at-bats during their two games at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst this weekend. One of those hits came at the absolute perfect time. Right fielder Annalise Eak, batting in the No. 7 spot of the lineup, broke the deadlock in the bottom of the seventh inning, lining a game-winning RBI single to right field to seal a 1-0 win over No. 2 Longmeadow and award top-seeded Westfield the Western Massachusetts Division 1 championship. “I just wanted it so badly,” said Eak. “I just got up there with the mentality that I had to do it for my team. I saw the pitch that I wanted. I had been zoning in on the one spot I wanted. We just capitalized on the opportunities that we had.” In a tightly-contested pitcher’s
duel mirroring the lone regular season matchup, the Bombers (23-0) entered the final frame with just two hits—both by catcher Kaitlyn Puza. Karly Mastello flared a shot to right field, dropping in between three Lancer fielders. After a Rachel Swords sacrifice bunt, Eak lined her game-winning shot, allowing Mastello to score the lone run. “I told our girls the key to this game was getting the bat on the ball and make their defense have to play,” said Westfield head coach Joe Stella. “The first time through, we’ll try a few things. It took a while, but in that last inning we were able to piece a couple things together.” For most of the game, two of the region’s premier pitchers dominated the stage and the storylines. University of Connecticut commit Jill Stockley allowed just four batters to reach base before the final innings for the Lancers (18-5). Westfield pitcher Sarah
McNerney needed just four pitches to finish the first inning, a microcosm of the outing she’d have. “I think keeping the ball down is the big thing,” said Stella. “We needed to buckle down. We didn’t want the bottom of the order to be setting the table for the top of the order either. She did what she had to do and she kept her focus.” The senior had a perfect game intact until Stockley reached on an error and kept up her no-hitter until Sarah Whitney lined a single up the middle in the fifth inning. The Bomber ace allowed just one more hit en route to a two-hit shutout with four strikeouts. “We just had to keep going back to doing what we have to do,” said McNerney. “My whole defense was amazing. I’m so blessed to have them behind me. We are one team and everyone contributes. No one carries the whole team.”
Longmeadow’s lone serious threat came in the top of the seventh inning. After Cam Boutin reached on the second of Westfield’s two errors, Stockley reached on a bunt single. With two on and one out, Ally Mishol lined a groundball to third baseman Maddy Atkocaitis, who stepped on third base before firing over to first for the crucial double play. The senior on the hot corner accounted for one-third of the total outs defensively. “That’s where I want the ball to be hit,” Stella chuckled. “I’ll take my chances there.” Westfield’s next game is the Division 1 State semifinal at Worcester State University Tuesday against Holy Name of Worcester. The Naps (21-3) defeated Shepherd Hill, 9-1, this weekend to claim their eighth championship. First pitch is at 7 p.m.

Ortiz’s homer lifts Sox over Tigers DETROIT (AP) — David Ortiz hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning, and the Boston Red Sox rallied for a 5-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday, snapping their five-game losing streak. The Red Sox left men on base all night long, including when Ortiz was retired on a deep flyball to center in the seventh. But there was no doubt about his homer off Joba Chamberlain (1-3), which carried about halfway up the section of seats beyond the wall in right. Chamberlain was trying to protect a one-run lead instead of struggling closer Joe Nathan, who had pitched the previous two nights. John Lackey (7-4) pitched eight sharp innings for Boston, and Koji Uehara pitched a perfect ninth for his 12th save in 12 chances. Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera left in the sixth with left hamstring tightness. Mariners 5, Rays 0 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Felix Hernandez struck out a career-high 15 in seven innings before Endy Chavez keyed a five-run ninth with a tiebreaking RBI single, leading the Seattle Mariners to a 5-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. James Jones had a two-run triple for the Mariners, who have won seven of eight. ROYALS 2, YANKEES 1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — James Shields kept making critical pitches to escape trouble, Lorenzo Cain and Mike Moustakas drove in runs and the Royals squeaked out a win over the Yankees. The Royals have won the last seven games that Shields (7-3) has started, and he’s earned the win in four of those. The veteran right-hander lasted six innings in his latest effort, giving up six hits to the punchless Yankees but only allowing only one unearned run. ASTROS 14, TWINS 5 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Chris Carter and Jon Singleton hit their first career grand slams to power the Astros to a victory over the Twins. Carter’s slam in the seventh inning sailed over the limestone overhang in right field and gave Houston a 9-3 lead. Singleton lined a fastball off Glen Perkins over the right-field wall that made it 14-5 in the ninth. INDIANS 3, RANGERS 2 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Lonnie Chisenhall had two hits and scored twice and Indians starter Justin Masterson picked up his first road win of the season. Adrian Beltre and Alex Rios had two hits each for the injuryriddled Rangers, who learned before the game they will be without first baseman Mitch Moreland for three months. Moreland needs surgery on his ailing left ankle. ANGELS 4, WHITE SOX 2 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — C.J. Wilson bounced back strongly from his shortest outing of the season, taking a threehit shutout into the eighth inning, and Josh Hamilton drove in three runs to lead the Angels over the White Sox.
CARDINALS 5, BLUE JAYS 0 TORONTO (AP) — Jaime Garcia and two relievers combined on a three-hitter, Matt Carpenter and Jhonny Peralta homered, and the Cardinals beat the Blue Jays. REDS 4, PHILLIES 1 CINCINNATI (AP) — Homer Bailey hit a two-run single and pitched eight effective innings to lead Cincinnati to the win. BREWERS 1, PIRATES 0 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Yovani Gallardo pitched seven crisp innings for Milwaukee, and Jonathan Lucroy doubled and scored on Aramis Ramirez’s groundout in the seventh. Gallardo (4-4) gave up four hits and a walk. He struck out a season-high eight. Francisco Rodriguez got four outs for his 19th save. MARLINS 4, CUBS 3 CHICAGO (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton scored the go-ahead run on Pedro Strop’s wild pitch in the eighth inning, and Miami snapped Chicago’s five-game winning streak. Marlins starter Henderson Alvarez left the game because of a left hip injury and is day to day. GIANTS 6, METS 4 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Gregor Blanco doubled, singled and drove in three runs, and the surging Giants earned their fifth consecutive win. Curtis Granderson tagged Tim Lincecum with two homers, the biggest highlights of New York’s season-high sixth straight loss. Lincecum (5-4) allowed six hits, struck out six and walked one in six innings. DIAMONDBACKS 6, BRAVES 5 PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona right-hander Chase Anderson pitched seven innings to become the third pitcher since 1998 to win his first five major league starts. David Peralta and Paul Goldschmidt each hit a two-run homer in Arizona’s six-run seventh inning. It was Peralta’s first major league homer. Anderson (5-0) had a career-best eight strikeouts. He allowed two runs and five hits on his way to becoming the first pitcher to win his first five starts since Jered Weaver won seven straight in 2006. DODGERS 6, ROCKIES 1, 5 1/2 innings DENVER (AP) — Hanley Ramirez homered, Clayton Kershaw struck out nine and the Dodgers won a game cut short by rain in the sixth inning. The Dodgers broke it open with four runs in the top of the sixth. The game was then delayed 1 hour, 35 minutes before it was called. NATIONALS 6, PADRES 0 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jordan Zimmermann took a perfect game into the sixth inning and finished with a two-hitter and a career-high 12 strikeouts for Washington. Ian Desmond hit his second two-run home run in as many games. ATHLETICS 11, ORIOLES 1 BALTIMORE (AP) — Brandon Moss hit a grand slam and Scott Kazmir threw seven scoreless innings and Oakland beat Baltimore in a game that featured another bench-clearing confrontation between the teams.

WHS edged in finals By Chris Putz Staff Writer WORCESTER – Earlier, last week, Westfield High School boys’ lacrosse coach Mark Cavallon said that – no matter what – the Bombers were the Western Massachusetts Division 2 champions. While there would be no trophy for Westfield, the Bombers proved they were no fluke. Third-seeded Shrewsbury outlasted No. 4 Westfield, winning in double sudden victory 9-8 of the Western/Central Massachusetts Division 2 boys’ lacrosse championship Saturday night at Foley Stadium in Worcester. Westfield (17-4), who posting a stunning upset of Longmeadow in the semifinals (only the third such victory over its rivals in some three decades), did not lose. Let met repeat that – Westfield did not lose. Shrewsbury (204) won it. With 3:20 remaining in the second fourminute, sudden-victory period, Joe Buduo (3 saves) slung a sidearm shot through a wall of Westfield defenders and past Bombers’ goalie Jake Cupak for the game-winner. “It came down to one play – they ended up getting it,” Westfield coach Mark Cavallon said of Shrewsbury’s stroke of good fortune. “The game was about as even as it could get … We are still champions in my eyes.” Westfield knocked off Longmeadow for the first time in five years, and only the second time since 1995, a year in which the Bombers ended a 30-year winless drought against their rivals. Had the tournament just included Western Mass teams like in year’s past, Westfield would likely don the crown. Still, Cavallon said a banner would adorn the gymnasium, recognizing walls of their huge accomplishment. “We were firing on all cylinders … Props to them for coming back,” said Westfield’s Sam Scarfo, who finished with a team-lead-
ing four goals in the finals. Scarfo scored the game’s first two goals. “It just came down to the final play.” Westfield won the first quarter 2-0 with goals from Scarfo 1:01 into the game, and with 1:41 remaining in the first quarter. The Bombers raced out to a 3-0 lead (early second quarter) and even had Shrewsbury doubled up at the half 4-2. Both teams exchanged goals in the second quarter as the Colonials appeared to wake from their slumber. Anthony Sullivan made it 3-0 when he scored with 6:52 left in the half. Alexander Chin cracked the Shrewsbury goose egg, poaching the team’s first goal with 6:07 remaining. Sullivan tallied a goal off a rebound with 4:39 left, and Chin scored again with 3:57 remaining. Shrewsbury pulled within one goal early in the second half, notching a score 53 seconds in. Luke Chlastawa reclaimed a two-goal advantage for Westfield two minutes later. Shrewsbury would not falter. At the 8:33 and 6:59 marks of the third quarter, Shrewsbury scored to even the game at 5-5. Another goal with 6:01 remaining gave the Colonials their first lead, 6-5. Then it was Westfield’s turn. With 4:59 left in the third quarter, Rashaun Rivers bounced a goal in from about 25 yards out. Scarfo tallied another to put the Bombers back on top 7-6 with 3:40 left. Shrewsbury and Westfield traded goals in the final two minutes of the quarter with the Colonials scoring at the 1:49 and 50-second marks. Scarfo notched a goal with 1:32 left. Shrewsbury tied the game 8-all in the final seconds of the third quarter. The fourth quarter proved to be a tug-ofwar with both sides refusing to budge. The first sudden victory period featured much of the same. Cupak came up with several key saves, especially late in regulation. He finished with 14 saves.

22-0! WHS Advances to Final By Robby Veronesi WNG Intern AMHERST – It took the perfect comeback for the Westfield Bombers to reach their final(s) moment. After No. 4 Minnechaug (15-7) scored a pair of runs in the first inning, the Bomber offense came out swinging, scoring five unanswered runs to seal a 5-2 victory in a Western Massachussetts Division 1 semifinal Saturday. With the win, No. 1 Westfield (22-0) earned its first spot in the title game since 2009 and squared off against No. 2 Longmeadow Sunday.
“We knew it wasn’t going to be a one-run game,” said Westfield Head Coach Joe Stella. “We hit the ball well last game and pulled it out. We knew we could put some runs on the board.” Down 2-0 before their first at-bats, the Bombers started strong offensively. Despite the Falcons nailing Jessie Pratt at home plate, Kaitlyn Puza drove in Madison Atkocaitis to cut the deficit to 2-1. The Bombers took their first lead in the third inning, after Minnechaug Head Coach Rob Baroni was tossed for arguing balls and strikes. With the bases loaded on two walks and an error, first baseman Karly Mastello
Westfield’s Jules Sharon broke her leg in practice earlier this week, but her vocal support was heard from the dugout all game.

lined a two-run single, plating Atkocaitis and Puza. WHS provided some insurance in the following inning, again thanks to the top of their lineup. With two on and one out, Lexi Minicucci grounded into a fielder’s choice, scoring Pratt just ahead of the throw to the plate. An error from shortstop Rachel Breton allowed Atkocaitis to score her third run of the game and put the Bombers up 5-2. “We just got together and talked it over before the game even started,” said Atkocaitis. “We just have to take a deep breath and know what we have to do when we get up there. We have a strong team all-around, offensively and
defensively and if we just play our game than we can go far.” A theme throughout the season, Westfield received a quality outing from pitcher Sarah McNerney. The senior threw seven strong innings, allowing five hits while striking out four. After Minnechaug went on top in the first inning, McNerney settled down and retired 15 of the next 17 batters, allowing just two singles. “Sarah made some adjustments,” said Stella. “We had a game plan going in and we had to make some adjustments. She did great keeping them quiet. We knew she could do it.”

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Brokenhearted Mother Dear Annie: I have two adult daughters, both married now. “Beth” lives nearby, but “Gina” moved across the country. Beth was diagnosed with ADHD and bipolar disorder when she was in her early 20s. I think she suffered from it during childhood, but was undiagnosed. When they were children, I spent a great deal of time trying to calm Beth down and was aware that Gina did not get the same degree of attention. I tried to make up for it by doing things with Gina outside of the house. I became her Brownie troop leader and went on her class field trips. I made it my business to see that we had calm times together. Now that Beth is on medication, she is a different person. But it may be too late. Gina doesn’t want to come home anymore because she says she doesn’t feel safe here. Gina tells me that she is being treated for PTSD due to verbal abuse and neglect she suffered as a child. She says I should have done a better job of protecting her. She hasn’t spoken to Beth in two years. I respect her feelings, but I don’t understand why she cannot forgive Beth knowing how ill she was. Beth is expecting her second child, but I didn’t tell Gina, because I thought she wouldn’t care. Her grandmother spilled the beans, and now Gina thinks Beth was deliberately “getting even” because Gina didn’t invite Beth to her wedding. I feel like such a failure. I am not getting any younger and worry that the two of them will air their dirty laundry at my funeral. I love both of my girls, but I don’t know how to resolve this. -- Brokenhearted Mother Dear Mother: Please stop beating yourself up. A child with behavioral issues is a tremendous challenge to parents and siblings alike. Even though Beth’s behavior was not your fault, Gina needs you to apologize for not giving her the childhood she thinks she deserved, and more importantly, Beth needs to reach out to her sister and ask for forgiveness. These small things can go a long way toward healing. Also ask whether Gina would seek counseling with you. Be patient, but don’t give up. Dear Annie: Last Memorial Day, I visited the grave of a relative to pay my respects. I looked up and saw a group of people walking by with their dogs -- right over the graves. The cemetery has a sign saying no dogs are allowed. On a holiday like Memorial Day, the groundskeepers aren’t there to say anything. I gave them a stern look, as I certainly didn’t want their dogs to relieve themselves on my relative’s grave. They just looked at me and laughed. This undoubtedly will happen again. How can I deal with it without losing my cool? I find this disrespectful and disgusting. -- Anywhere USA Dear USA: Those cemeteries that do not permit dogs will post a sign, as yours did. Those who bring their dogs in spite of these signs are trespassing and should be reported to the cemetery owners, as well as the police. In cemeteries where dogs are allowed, considerate owners will not permit their animals to relieve themselves on a grave, but will direct them to other areas within the cemetery and will clean up after them. Dear Annie: I would like to respond to “Different Gods,” the Pagan who doesn’t want to attend church with her boyfriend’s family at Christmas. I have been a practicing pagan for 30 years. Though I am devoted to my religion, I am still able to celebrate with family and friends. Holidays are about the season, the sharing and the joy in being alive. “Different Gods” should embrace the holidays as a way to show her love for her boyfriend and his family. Maybe then he might be more interested in attending some pagan festivals. -- L. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please
HINTS FROM HELOISE A Proposal for Disposal Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about leaving furniture, etc., outside: “It really bothers me when I see perfectly reusable items, such as furniture, children’s toys, etc., thrown out for garbage when they easily could have been donated to a charity, shelter or organization that helps the poor. Count your blessings and help someone less fortunate.” -- A Reader, via email That can be frustrating to see, but you never know if there is a reason they threw out the items, instead of donating them. They might be broken or unsafe, and you wouldn’t want something like that to go to someone else. -- Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Other uses for cloth wrap with self-gripping fabric closure, found around blankets: * Use to hold back curtains. * Put around a sleeping bag. * Bundle newspapers or magazines to carry. * Wrap around other blankets or towels. * Let a child use as a belt. -- Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, June 9, 2014: This year one might be hard-pressed to recognize the evanescent Gemini. You indulge and become more tuned in to your intuitive or psychic abilities. You also enjoy learning more about this facet of your personality. Communication flourishes this year. If you are single, you could date a lot, but you will know when you meet the right person. If you are attached, you will test out your seemingly new intuitive ability on your sweetie. You could have a lot of fun with experimenting with this. SCORPIO might be hard to work with.

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Communication flourishes with a roommate or family member. You will want to have a discussion about what you want from your home life. Share some of your desires openly. You might be surprised at how fast one wish could be realized. Tonight: Dinner for two. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You could be pulled in two different directions. Though you often are aware of your similarities with others, right now you’ll see the differences. Share more of your thoughts, as you might want some feedback. Tonight: Differences will become less important soon enough. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH If you listen to your sixth sense, you will get ahead both financially and in your daily/work life. You intuitively seem to know which way to go and what to do. A boss might have a great idea, but the follow-through seems to be conflicted. Tonight: Relax at home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH What you feel might be more important than what you think today. You need to act spontaneously. You will understand the dynamics of your actions later. Following through on an established plan might not go as planned. Tonight: Is someone working against you? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Work at home or make your office more comfortable. You will thrive in this environment and relax more easily. A partner might be acting in an odd way as he or she follows his or her intuition. Try to confirm important information. Tonight: Work as late as need be. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Others might be elusive right now, but they probably don’t mean to be. Some of the people surrounding you easily could be on a different track. Look around, and you’ll find that nearly everyone seems to be daydreaming. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be taken aback by the fact that others can’t see what you are experiencing. Worry less. You might not want to share exactly what is on your mind before you verify some information. A hunch could pay off. Tonight: Buy a new item on the way home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You are energized, and you’ll express your creativity. Follow your sixth sense. You might feel a little insecure about listening to this inner voice, but by doing so, you’ll get great results. A new friend could be quite distracting. Tonight: Above all, be spontaneous. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Gather information, and explore new ideas. You might have a totally different take from anyone else. Honor a sense that you might not be ready to share just yet. A domestic issue might emerge from out of the blue. Tonight: Keep it low-key. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH A meeting could be the inspiration for what needs to happen next. Sometimes your logic works against you. Follow your intuition with an important conversation, especially when dealing with key people in your life. Tonight: Say “yes” to living. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Be willing to take the lead, even if it makes you uncomfortable. You might feel as if you have too much to do, but you’ll have little choice. Be very careful when handling funds, as you might not be as focused as you might think you are. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might not be hearing the whole story. Reach out to someone at a distance to get some feedback. Only

Girl Scouts donate cookies to the 104th WESTFIELD – Members of Girl Scouts of Central & Western Massachusetts, including Brownie Troop 11929 and Cadet Troop 40067, donated boxes of Girl Scout cookies to the 104th Fighter Wing at Barnes Air National Guard base, as part of Project Care & Share. The event took place at the base on Saturday. The Girl Scouts have been donating Girl Scout cookies to the unit for the last few years, teaching the girls about giving and helping others, while also learning other important life skills through the Girl Scout program. During the group’s visit to Barnes, they talked with a few female unit members, some of who were Girl Scouts, to hear their stories of success. Capt. Katie Gauvin, a member of the 104th Fighter Wing and the leader of Cadet Troop 40067, arranged the donation and is teaching these girls about the importance of community service. “I’ve been a Girl Scout leader for the past seven years and it has been very rewarding to see the girls grow into independent young ladies with a laser sharp focus on community service,” said Gauvin. “Being a member of the 104th also gives me a lot of pride because the girls, several that I personally lead, make it a point to thank and support the men and women who protect them every day.” “It’s a pleasure to see the community reaching out to the 104th Fighter Wing through projects such as these,” said Maj. Mary Harrington, Public Affairs officer, and former Girl Scout. “It’s always nice to see our next generation visit the base, with inquisitive minds, and leave with smiles and a better understanding of what the Air National Guard is all about.” The 104th Fighter Wing is equipped with
the F-15 Eagle. One mission of the 104th is Aerospace Control Alert (ACA), providing armed fighters ready to scramble in a moment’s notice to protect the Northeast from any airborne threat. The unit is responsible for protecting a quarter of the nation’s population and one third of the Gross Domestic Product.

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