Aviation advisors meet with Westfield State By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Progress is being made by the administrative team in charge of getting Westfield Vocational-Technical High School’s Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) program off the ground. WVTHS Principal Stefan Czaporowski led a delegation from the Aviation Advisory Board, including Program Advisor Ken Dromgold, the program’s General Advisory Chairman Ed Watson and Barnes Regional Airport Manager Brian Barnes, to meet Friday with Westfield State University President Dr. Elizabeth Preston to discuss future interactions and collaborations between the two schools. “We wanted to know what the status is of their program because they have aviation management. They also had a flying component and we’re trying to see the status of that,” said Czaporowski, adding that Voc-Tech is seeking and is expecting to receive articulations for students. “Articulations are when kids get credit for coursework they do in our aviation program if they want to continue on to aviation management (at Westfield State),” said Czaporowski, stating that he expects WVTHS students will want to learn all aspects of aviation. “Once you learn how to fix a plane, you’re probably going to want to learn how to fly one, too. We have an interest in Westfield State keeping their flight program open.” “We’re totally focused on the A&P at the Voke, but we want to give the kids an avenue to articulation,” said Dromgold. “Lets say they don’t want to go into the workforce right away or go to college – we want to see schools with programs that have viability going forward.” Dromgold stated that the WVTHS A&P project is drawing interest from all over the state, but that having an institution with an aviation management program at a university in the same city is among the best scenarios imaginable. “They really didn’t know much about us, but now they understand the energy in the program, the enthusiasm throughout the state for the program,” he said. “We impressed upon the university that we’d like to have this avenue at Westfield State. It so convenient and so right. It is a winwin for both of our programs.” Czaporowski said that some of WSU’s professors are already on the A&P program’s advisory board. “One of the things we want to do is, once we get the day program going, we also want to offer adult education,”he said. “They obviously might be able to go at an accelerated pace and if they want to do the See Aviation, Page 7

Candidates for governor hit campaign trail By STEVE LeBLANC Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley is calling for at least six debates with her Republican and independent opponents between now and Election Day. Coakley said the debates should not only include Republican nominee Charlie Baker, but also the three independent candidates: Evan Falchuk, Scott Lively and Jeff McCormick. Baker campaign spokesman Tim Buckley said Baker looks forward to giving voters a chance to see the differences between Coakley’s “campaign for higher taxes and Charlie’s positive vision for Massachusetts where everyone who wants to work can.” Buckley said Baker expects to have some “one-on-one” opportunities with Coakley. Coakley said the campaign has been reviewing the debate invitations. She said she’s committed to at least six “regionally balanced” debates in different parts of the state. Both candidates spent Friday courting voters.
Baker toured downtown Quincy with the city’s mayor, Thomas Koch, a Democrat who supported Steven Grossman in the Democratic primary for governor. Koch hasn’t endorsed in the general election. Baker later visited with senior citizens at the Greater Boston Chinese Golden Age Center’s Brighton House in Boston. Coakley joined the Democratic nominee for attorney general, Maura Healey, and U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano to greet diners at the Warren Tavern in the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston. Coakley downplayed Baker’s tour of Quincy, saying she also plans to visit the city. To win in November, Baker also has to appeal to independents and moderate Democrats. During the Charlestown campaign stop, Coakley was asked about her campaign pledge to institute universal prekindergarten education in Massachusetts. Coakley said she doesn’t yet have a See Candidates, Page 3
Bank break-in not a robbery By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Employees arriving for work at the First Niagra Bank on Broad Street Friday morning suspected that something was amiss when they found blood on the shattered glass door but, before long, realized that no attempt had been made to rob the bank. Officer David Racicot was the first officer to arrive at the bank after the 8:06 a.m. call and found that a cleaning person had apparently broken the glass door to regain entry after he locked himself out of the bank. Racicot’s report was incomplete pending a report from the bank’s security department but Lt. Michael Ugolik reported late in the afternoon that police were still waiting to hear from the bank to learn the name of the cleaning company and the identity of the culpable employee. Ugolik said that an informal review of the banks’ security video showed the cleaner break the glass to get back into the bank and then vacuum up the shards from the floor before leaving the bank, apparently without notifying anyone of his actions.
Budget transfer to cover severance By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Director of Technology and Business Services for the Westfield School Department Ronald Rix will be making a recommendation for a budget transfer at Monday evening’s meeting of the Westfield School Committee. “It’s to cover some of our severance obligation that wasn’t included in the final budget,” said Rix Friday. “So we’re looking to balance it so we can fill those (obligations).” Rix added that the district has $83,000 of severance obligations for staff that have retired since July 1. These funds will be transferred

Single, lower tax rate set for Southwick By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Board of Selectmen set the tax at a minimum residential factor of one again this week and the state certified a rate of $16.94 per $1,000 valuation. The recommendation of a single tax rate was given by the Southwick Board of Assessors. Chairman Paul Connolly noted that the majority of taxpayers in town are residents. “Commercial makes up just 5.5 percent and industrial is 2 percent,” Connolly said. “We recommend we maintain a tax rate of one.” Finance Committee member Robert Horacek spoke in favor of the single rate. Resident Deb Herath spoke during the single rate discussion and told selectmen that residents of the lakes would be seeking tax relief once a sand and gravel mining business on the Connecticut side of the lakes gets underway. “People will petition to bring the value of the lake down, just when you need it most,” she told the board See Tax Rate, Page 3
Westfield man back in jail By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A city man, sent to jail in 2012 for stealing from an elderly relative he had been caring for, has been sent back to jail after again victimizing his great-aunt. He also waived any interest in the victim’s estate. Eric J. Lamire, 43, formerly of 41 Noble Ave., had been sentenced to two concurrent 18-month terms in June, 2012, when he pleaded guilty to charges of permitting abuse of an elderly person and larceny of property valued more than $250. Those charges stemmed from an incident on March 21, 2012, in which Lemire turned off the power in his great-aunt’s home, unplugged the telephone and stole
from an “out of grade” line item. “Many of our teachers notified us that they’re going to be completing their college degree, be it a masters degree or a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) degree in December,” he said of the line item. “So they’re be entitled to a pay raise starting in February. So we have money that we have budgeted in there that we’re going to move that out of – hopefully temporarily – then backfill it to cover the expense that we have here in September.” Rix said that seven staff members employed See Budget Transfer, Page 7
By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Finance Committee will review a $326,167 appropriation submitted by the Purchasing Department to the City Council at its Sept. 4 session to allow the city to enter into a contract to provide building and equipment maintenance, funding that was cut during the FY 2015 budget review process in June. Purchasing Director Tammy Tefft said this week that the appropriation is the exact TAMMY TEFFT amount cut by the Finance Committee during its budget review in June when the committee requested Tefft to rebid the maintenance contract. “They cut the money and told me to bid out the contract and come back to them, Tefft said Monday. “We opened the bids on Aug. 27 at 2 p.m. There was only one bidder, Siemens, with a bid at the same amount.” The Siemens contract is for maintenance of HVAC and controls recently installed in buildings throughout the city under the energy efficiency program. The maintenance is required to maintain equipment and

Man arrested after discussing drugs on 911 call MOUNT PLEASANT, Tenn. (AP) — A man has been arrested in Middle Tennessee after dispatchers heard him discussing drugs on an accidental 911 call. WKRN-TV (http://bit.ly/1tKVF4v) reports Grant O’Connor was charged with simple possession and possession of drug paraphernalia after his Friday arrest in Mount Pleasant. Dispatchers traced the call when they heard him talking about getting high and going to a drug dealer’s house on an open line. According to a police report, an officer located O’Connor in a car that was pulling out of a restaurant parking lot. The officer searched the car and found a bag of marijuana and drug paraphernalia underneath O’Connor’s seat. O’Connor was released on $3,500 bond the following day. There was no phone number listed for him in the phone directory.
New Mexico county struggling with stinky building ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (AP) — A county government building in southern New Mexico stinks. And the Alamogordo Daily News reports (http://goo.gl/d6RtjW) that Otero County officials are deciding whether to relocate staff that can no longer put up with the putrid smell in the Administration Annex Building’s basement. Commissioner Ronny Rardin said Thursday he’s worried about the staff since the offending scent is permeating the building’s substructure. He says the odor has been around since the county first moved into the building in 2008. Officials say the exact cause of the recurring smell is unclear. Otero County Assessor Donald Yee, who works in the building, says efforts to get rid of the stench have been unsuccessful.

O
n September 13, 1814, during the War of 1812, British naval forces began bombarding Fort McHenry in Baltimore but were driven back by American defenders in a battle that lasted until the following morning.
On this date: In 1759, during the final French and Indian War, the British defeated the French on the Plains of Abraham overlooking Quebec City. In 1788, the Congress of the Confederation authorized the first national election, and declared New York City the temporary national capital. In 1803, Commodore John Barry, considered by many the father of the American Navy, died in Philadelphia. In 1911, the song “Oh, You Beautiful Doll,” a romantic rag by Nat D. Ayer and Seymour Brown, was first published by Jerome H. Remick & Co. In 1948, Republican Margaret Chase Smith of Maine was elected to the U.S. Senate; she became the first woman to serve in both houses of Congress. In 1959, Elvis Presley first met his future wife, 14-yearold Priscilla Beaulieu, while stationed in West Germany with the U.S. Army. (They married in 1967, but divorced in 1973.) In 1971, a four-day inmates’ rebellion at the Attica Correctional Facility in western New York ended as police and guards stormed the prison; the ordeal and final assault claimed the lives of 32 inmates and 11 employees. In 1974, “Chico and the Man,” starring Jack Albertson and Freddie Prinze, “The Rockford Files,” starring James
Garner, and “Police Woman,” starring Angie Dickinson, premiered on NBC-TV. In 1989, Fay Vincent was elected commissioner of Major League Baseball, succeeding the late A. Bartlett Giamatti. In 1993, at the White House, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO chairman Yasser Arafat shook hands after signing an accord granting limited Palestinian autonomy. “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” premiered on NBC. In 1996, rapper Tupac Shakur died at a Las Vegas hospital six days after he was wounded in a drive-by shooting; he was 25. In 1998, former Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace died in Montgomery at age 79.
Ten years ago: U.S. warplanes in Iraq unleashed devastating airstrikes on a suspected hideout for operatives from an al-Qaidalinked group the same day a video posted on a website in the name of the militants purportedly showed the beheading of a kidnapped Turkish truck driver. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer agreed to a nearly $3 billion acquisition by a Sony-led consortium. Oakland posted a 7-6, 10-inning win over the Rangers in a game that was delayed in the ninth inning after Texas reliever Frank Francisco hurled a chair and injured two fans at the Coliseum; Francisco ended up pleading no contest to misdemeanor assault and was sentenced to 20 days in a work program. The wine-tasting comedy-drama “Sideways” premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Five years ago:
The body of missing Yale University graduate student Annie Le was found behind a research lab wall on what
would have been her wedding day. (A lab technician, Raymond Clark III, was later sentenced to 44 years in prison for murdering Le.) Kim Clijsters, capping a comeback from two years out of tennis, became the first unseeded woman to win the U.S. Open as she defeated No. 9 Caroline Wozniacki, 7-5, 6-3. At the MTV Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for best female video for “You Belong with Me” was disrupted by Kanye West, who took the microphone to praise Beyonce’s video of “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).”
One year ago: By truck and helicopter, thousands of people stranded by floodwaters were brought down from the Colorado Rockies. A pre-dawn fire swept through a Russian psychiatric hospital, killing 37 people.

system performance guarantees. Finance Committee members, and several other City Councilors, attending the June 10 review of the Purchasing Department budget, questioned a $326,167 building repair and maintenance account line item in the proposed 2015 fiscal year budget. Tefft said that money is the first year of a five-year contract with Siemens, the energy consultant which recently completed an upgrade to the energy systems in school and municipal buildings. “We’ve spent all of this money, and that $23 million doesn’t include the Massachusetts School Building Authority’s funding for schools, but we’re still not maintaining all of the stuff,” Tefft said in June. “There are 1,500 pieces of major equipment in 23 facilities under energy management.” Tefft said there is no commitment with Siemens for years two through five. “All of that is contingent upon funding,” Tefft said. Finance Committee member and Ward 5 Councilor Robert Paul Sr., then questioned how the city could proceed with the significant maintenance contract without seeking competitive bids for that work. Tefft said that much of the energy efficiency control systems are proprietary to Siemens, but that Paul’s concern has also been an issue within her own department. “We’re still going back and forth on those years two through 5,” Tefft said. “I want to see the cost go down, but as the age of the equipment increases, the cost of maintenance will go up.” “We have not been able to fund maintenance,” Tefft said, noting that many departments “are reactive, not proactive and contact a vendor only when there is a problem.” Tefft said that the Siemens contract will be cost avoidance for a municipal department. “Those are maintenance costs departments will not need to have (in their individual budgets),” Tefft said. “This is the best course of action to get us up and running. My preference is to have a facilities department in-house.” Finance member Ward 6 Councilor Christopher Crean said that the “$326,000 is sticker shock, but look at the number of buildings they will be maintaining. In hindsight that (Siemens contract) number is high. But not that high and Siemens is one of the premier companies doing this.” Tefft said that the cost of maintaining municipal building is about $99,000, while the cost of maintaining the energy systems in the school district buildings is about $227,000. City officials, in particular the City Council, are currently examining the possibility of a unified municipal building and grounds maintenance department because of the huge investment, totaling about $50 million, to repair buildings and grounds, as well as energy efficiency upgrade to city and school buildings. The City Council is concerned that that investment may not be properly maintained in the future and deferred maintenance, which led to deterioration of the city and school buildings, may be avoided by creation of a dedicated central Maintenance Department.

cost estimate for the plan. “We know there’s a price tag to it. I can’t think of anything else in Massachusetts that’s more important,” she said. “We’re going to come in halfway through a budget. We’ll find the way to pay for it.” Coakley said she’ll be looking for ways to make the state government more efficient, but wouldn’t rule out higher taxes as a last resort. “Every Democrat has said this. We’re not afraid to make the case if we need to do it, but we need to make the case and we need to get the public on board with that,” she said. “I don’t believe we need to do that.” The candidates are planning to hit the campaign trail again Saturday. Coakley and the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor, Steve Kerrigan, are hoping to get a boost from mem-
Police: Brockton man assaulted woman before death BROCKTON, Mass. (AP) — A Brockton man has pleaded not guilty to assaulting and robbing a woman before she was run over and killed by a tow truck. Bail was set at $100,000 for 47-year-old George Rhodes at his arraignment Friday. Prosecutors say Rhodes attacked 54-year-old Sebrena McLean on Monday evening, minutes before police responded to reports a backing tow truck had run over a woman in a garage. McLean was pronounced dead at a hospital. Prosecutor Keara Kelley said surveillance video showed McLean entering the area near the garage with a man believed to be Rhodes, and the man leaving alone. Kelley said McLean had injuries to her head and chest consistent with a beating. The tow truck is owned by a service station that uses the private parking garage. Rhode was arrested at a Boston homeless shelter Thursday.

In Westfield, the residential rate is $18.18 and the CIP is $33.84. Granville also has a single tax rate of $12.66, while Agawam has a split rate of $15.55 for residents and $27.93 for CIP. Last week. the board voted to use $50,000 in overlay funds to lower the rate from $17.06 to $16.94.

her strong box, knowing that it contained the bulk of the funds she had received when he helped her redeem a certificate of deposit valued at more than $14,000. The woman, who could only walk with the help of a walker, had been lying in a reclining chair when the lights went out and stayed there until daylight when she struggled to a neighbor’s house to seek assistance. Lemire was released from jail without restrictions regarding contact with his great-aunt and, by August, 2013, was apparently again living in her house – and cashing checks he induced her to sign – according to the investigating detective, Roxanne Bradley, who reported Lemire used her money “to support his alcohol and crack addiction.” At his arraignment at the end of February, Assistant District Attorney Mary Partyka told Judge Rita Koenigs that the 89-year victim had told investigators from the protective services agency that “the defendant begged her to sign the checks so she signed her name because the defendant begged her to.” The woman told the investigator that she did not know how much the checks were written for and the investigator quoted her as saying “I told him he could get in trouble for taking other people’s money. I tried to warn him,” Partyka said. Bradley reports that Lemire “filled the blank checks out in his name and wrote in the amounts for each check.” She wrote in a court document that, when Lemire was interviewed, “He admitted that he cashed the checks to support his alcohol and crack addiction” Partyka said that twelve checks totaling $6,100 were cashed during a two month period and detectives established that Lemire was recorded on bank video records cashing the checks. On Tuesday, Lemire appeared in Westfield District Court before Judge Philip A. Contant and pleaded guilty to a charge of larceny of property valued more than $250 from a person more than 60 years-of-age or disabled and 11 charges of uttering a false check. A charge of larceny from a building was not prosecuted. He was sentenced to 12 concurrent 18-month terms in the house of correction with credit for time served awaiting trial since Feb. 28, 2014.

U.S. hits Russia with new sanctions By Eric Bradner Politico.com The United States targeted Russia’s largest bank and 10 government-run defense and energy firms Friday in a new round of sanctions over the country’s involvement in Ukraine, limiting those firms’ access to Western technology and financial markets. The sanctions hit Sberbank, Russia’s largest bank, for the first time, barring U.S. companies and individuals from providing equity or debt financing that matures in more than 30 days. Sberbank accounts for one-quarter of Russian banking assets and one-third of its banking capital, U.S. officials said. The Obama administration announced the new penalties in tandem with the European Union, which unveiled its own heightened set of sanctions earlier Friday, freezing the assets of Russian politicians and rebel leaders. “These steps underscore the continued resolve of the international community against Russia’s aggression,” Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said in a statement. “Russia’s economic and diplomatic isolation will continue to grow as long as its actions do not live up to its words,” he said. “Russia’s economy is already paying a heavy price for its unlawful behavior. Growth has fallen to near zero, inflation is well above target, and Russian financial markets continue to deteriorate.” The new round of sanctions hits Russian oil exploration efforts by blocking U.S. technology, goods and services from being used for Russian deepwater, Arctic offshore and shale projects by five Russian companies: Gazprom, its subsidiary Gazprom Neft, Lukoil, Surgutneftegas and Rosneft. Those penalties aim to “effectively shut down this type of oil exploration and production activity,” an Obama administration official said. But the sanctions may also take a toll on U.S. companies that produce oil with Russia, such as ExxonMobil, which has a venture with Rosneft in the Arctic. “We are assessing the sanctions. It is our policy to comply with all laws,” ExxonMobil spokesman Alan Jeffers said in an email. The Commerce Department is also levying licensing requirements on any item those Russian energy companies would use for deepwater drilling in the Arctic. And the European Union followed a move the U.S. took weeks ago to issue sanctions on Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin. The new round of U.S. sanctions prohibit U.S. companies and individuals from dealing with Russian defense conglomerate Rostec on debt transactions with a maturity period of more than 30 days. The Treasury Department also blocked the assets of five Russian defense firms: OAO Dolgoprudny Research Production Enterprise, Mytishchinski Mashinostroitelny Zavod OAO, Kalinin Machine Plant JSC, Almaz-Antey GSKB and JSC NIIP.

The White House and the words of war By Josh Gerstein Politico.com It’s a war — sort of. The White House said Friday that the new conflict President Barack Obama is embarking on in the Middle East is a war, but only in the sense of the U.S.’s long fight with al Qaeda. “The United States is at war with ISIL in the same way we are at war with al Qaeda and its affiliates,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said. When Obama spoke to the nation Wednesday about broadening the U.S. campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, he was less than explicit about whether he considers the new struggle a war. That prompted questions from some quarters about why the White House was shying away from using the term to describe the widening conflict. At a briefing for reporters Friday, Earnest offered the new formulation that sought to recognize the gravity of the new undertaking, while also staving off visions of ground wars like those the U.S. embarked on in recent years. Earnest stressed, however, that the fight is not one between the U.S. and ISIL but between the militant group and many countries. “ISIS has indicated they’re ready to go to war against the world,” the press secretary said. “This president, as is expected of American presidents, is stepping up.” The role the White House wants Congress to play in the escalating fight is still ambiguous. The president has asked lawmakers to provide added funding for moderate Syrian rebels through a military assistance program more public than the current Central Intelligence Agency-led effort, which is technically covert. Earnest said Friday that Obama would welcome a resolution from Congress explicitly authorizing the fight against ISIL, but the spokesman said the president believes he has the legal authority to act under the measure Congress passed in 2001 effectively authorizing the use of military force against al Qaeda and the Taliban. “The administration would welcome a show of support from Congress for the strategy that the president has put in place
here,” Earnest said. However, there has been no explicit call from the White House for a vote on a new or refined authorization for use of military force — something Obama directly called for last year when he moved to conduct air strikes in response to Syria’s use of chemical weapons. “All of us should be accountable as we move forward, and that can only be accomplished with a vote,” the president said in August 2013. “While I believe I have the authority to carry out this military action without specific congressional authorization, I know that the country will be stronger if we take this course, and our actions will be even more effective.” Asked about the discrepancy on Friday, Earnest said the two situations are “different” and the president believes he already has the authority to conduct a broader campaign against ISIL —an assertion similar to the one he made a year ago. “It is the view of this administration and the president’s national security team specifically that additional authorization from Congress is not required, that he has the authority that he needs to order the military actions that he has to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL,” Earnest said. Earnest said he was unaware of any plan to actually ask Congress to pass a resolution in the current situation, even though the White House sent the Hill a draft measure a year ago when strikes against Syria over its chemical weapons use were on the table. ”At this point, we have not. And I don’t know of any plan to do so at this point,” the press secretary said. After Earnest said the White House would welcome a “show of support” from Congress, the spokesman said a vote would indeed be welcome, even though the president isn’t specifically asking for that — because some lawmakers are skittish about voting on the president’s plan and perhaps because the vote a year ago was put off when it appeared it might fail. “There are a range of ways that Congress could indicate their support,” the spokesman said. “That would include a vote and that would include the range of things that the president would welcome. The president does not, however, believe that that’s what he needs.”
Landrieu reimburses feds for plane travel By James Hohmann Politico.com Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu sent the federal government a check for more than $33,000 after wrongly charging taxpayers for political travel over a period of 12 years, her campaign announced Friday. Landrieu, who is facing a tough reelection campaign, took responsibility for what she called “sloppy book keeping” that led to charter flights for political purposes being billed to the government. Her legal team reviewed all private plane travel paid out of her official account going back to 2002, looking at how much time she spent doing political work on each trip. “The review I ordered last month found these mistakes stemming from sloppy book keeping,” Landrieu said in a statement. “I take full responsibility. They should have never happened, and I apologize for this.” Republicans have hammered Landrieu on her use of charters, and she publicly ordered the self-investigation after negative press attention. Landrieu lawyer Marc Elias, who conducted the review, explained that Federal Election Commission rules changed in 2002. If campaign events represented more than 15 percent of the total time spent on these trips, the cost had to be prorated. The $33,727.02 Landrieu is paying back is only 11 percent of the total that her official office paid for chartered flights. Elias noted that the campaign had already paid $202,330 for separate flights during this period. The senator said she has put in place safeguards used by other Senate offices to prevent this from happening again. A
lawyer will now determine in writing the appropriate amount that both the Senate office and campaign should pay. Here is a two-page letter Elias and a colleague sent to the Senate Ethics Committee Friday explaining Landrieu’s mistake. Here is an 11-page spreadsheet with Landrieu’s taxpayerfunded charter flights since 2002, with the amount she underpaid on each one.

Ford withdraws from mayor’s race TORONTO (AP) — Toronto Mayor Rob Ford withdrew his re-election bid Friday as he seeks treatment for a tumor in his abdomen, ending a campaign he had pursued despite persistent calls for him to quit amid drug and alcohol scandals. A city hall clerk announced Ford’s decision two days after the mayor was hospitalized. Biopsy results on the tumor won’t be back for a week and a definitive diagnosis is pending. The election is scheduled for Oct. 27.
Two other major candidates are still in the running. Rob Ford’s nephew also withdrew his nomination for a council seat, raising the possibility that the mayor could run for a council seat instead. Ford became an international celebrity last year after acknowledging using crack cocaine in a “drunken stupor” following months of denials. After reports of a second video emerged of him smoking crack, he decided to enter rehab this year and suspend his mayoral campaign,
but he steadfastly refused to quit his job or abandon his re-election bid. He returned to work and campaigning in June after two months in rehab. Although campaigning has been underway for months, the official deadline for candidates to sign up or withdraw from mayor’s race was Friday afternoon. Still unknown is whether Rob Ford’s brother, City Councilor Doug Ford, could run for mayor his brother’s place, a possibility some have speculated about.

Pope to visit European Parliament in November BRUSSELS (AP) — The president of the European Parliament says Pope Francis will make an official visit to the assembly in Strasbourg on Nov. 25. Martin Schulz said Thursday the pope would address the assembled legislators. The Vatican confirmed the date for the visit. Italian media say Francis is also considering a quick two-day trip to Turkey to mark an imporCan You Help Sarah? tant Orthodox holiday on Nov. 30. The Vatican has declined to confirm the reports, given there hasn’t been an official invitation from the Turkish government. Going www.sarahgillett.org to Turkey would give Francis an opportunity to visit a Muslim country at a time when Islamic extremists are assaulting Christians and other minorities in Syria and Iraq.

A New Way to Welcome the New Year At Sinai Temple Sinai Temple in Springfield is experimenting with an outreach service and a new format for the service when the Jewish New Year arrives on Wednesday, September 24. This special outreach service will be open to anyone in the Jewish community. Interested people only need visit the Temple website or call the Temple office to receive “free” ticket(s) for the service. (Photo ID will be required along with the ticket for admittance on the night of September 24.) “We hope to remove barriers to congregational life,” says Jeff Cossin, Temple president. “Although we can’t open all High Holiday services to unaffiliated Jews, we do have extra seats on Erev Rosh Hashanah – the New Year - for the 8 p.m. service. That’s when we want to open our doors.” The service will be different from other High Holiday services. Rabbi Mark Shapiro is developing a text for the service that won’t require congregants to hold a prayer book in their hands. Instead of that, the service will be projected onto a large screen in front of the congregation. The service will be a visual experience. Rabbi Shapiro explains, “We have done one other ‘visual’ service and it was very successful. I took the traditional prayers and set them against beautiful backgrounds. For this Rosh Hashanah service that may mean setting an evening prayer in front of a photograph of a sunset. Other prayers may have clouds or flowers or candles or smiling faces for their background. And what makes a service like this work is that congregants don’t have their heads down reading a page. Everyone looks up. Everyone sees the screen and it somehow feels more energetic and powerful.” The congregation is using this visual format plus several instruments in order to make the service more accessible for non-members. The thought is that many people are not as familiar with the traditional prayers as they wish. This open format service featuring traditional as well as modern texts is meant to be understandable by all. The congregation is even planning a home-baked reception after the service to encourage conversation and sociability among those attending. For more information, call Sinai at 413-736-3619 or visit the congregation’s website. www.sinai-temple.org

Budget Transfer

as teachers, paraprofessionals and secretaries have retired since the start of the summer. “We had requested a budget of $545,000 last year of our total obligation,” he said. “We decided to have a pay-as-you-go plan, because a lot of times we don’t expend all of that money.” “If I was thinking of retiring next July, I would need to notify the school department on February 1 that I was considering retiring until they could budget my severance,” he said. “In the past, lets say 20 people do it and only 10 retire, we have to budget our full obligation. So now we’re going to pay it as it actually happens.” When asked if making transfers of this nature so early in the school year is a common occurance, Rix stated that he thinks so. “I try to do everything very transparent. We have a policy, that any transfer over $15,000 needs school committee approval,” he said. “Or say we’re transferring from the personel side to the expense side, we need to have approval on that.”

Charges in dead babies case Neighbors soul-search By JENNIFER McDERMOTT and DENISE LAVOIE Associated Press BLACKSTONE, Mass. (AP) — A woman who lived in a squalid, vermininfested home where the bodies of three infants were found was charged Friday with covering up the deaths, while neighbors said they wish they had acted themselves to call attention to the house with the foul smell and the shades that were always drawn. Erika Murray, 31, was arraigned on charges including fetal death concealment, witness intimidation and permitting substantial injury to a child. But basic facts remain a mystery or aren’t being explained by authorities. Among them: why it took authorities so long to search the home even after removing four other children from it last month; whether the babies were newborns or fetuses; whether the woman was the mother of all the children; the nature of a 2007 report of abuse or neglect at the house that was not deemed a problem; and the identity of a man who also lived there. A search by crews in hazmat suits for any more remains continued at the house even as not-guilty pleas were entered for Murray in nearby Uxbridge. A court-appointed defender suggested she was mentally ill. “You want answers in circumstances like this. ... Mental illness doesn’t always provide those kinds of answers,” said Keith Halpern, Murray’s attorney, after the arraignment. He did not elaborate on her condition. In Blackstone, a town of less than
10,000 near the Rhode Island border about 50 miles southwest of Boston, residents fretted that such horrors had gone unnoticed. “I think everyone in town is feeling a little of that today,” said Sarah Martin, 29, who often walked by the home with her own 2-year-old daughter but did not know the family. “When something so tragic and heart-wrenching happens, you look back and say, ‘Maybe there were clues I could have picked up on.’” Neighbors said the shades were always drawn; some had noticed a foul smell. A prosecutor said that soiled diapers were piled up 2 feet high and that the remains of several animals had also been found. The children first came to the attention of police two weeks ago when a 10-year-old boy who lived in the house went to a neighbor and asked, “How do you get a baby to stop crying?” said Tim Connolly, a spokesman for Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. The neighbor went with the boy and found the crying baby covered in feces, but no adults around. Police were called and notified the state Department of Children and Families, which removed the four children — in addition to the 10-year-old, children ages 13, 3 and 6 months — from the home. Murray was then charged with two counts of reckless endangerment, and the house was condemned. Based on interviews with the two older children, police got a search warrant and went back to the house. That’s when they found the remains of three babies, one in a closet on Wednesday and two others on Thursday. A medical examiner is determining whether they were newborns or fetuses.
There was also a man living in the house, and Connolly said he has not been charged with anything. It’s unclear whether anyone fell down on the job. The state Department of Children and Families, already under scrutiny, said Friday that it had received a report of abuse or neglect in 2007, but that it was unsupported and no case was ever opened with the family. The agency did not release details on the nature of the report. The agency said it responded immediately to the neglect report from Blackstone police and removed the children from the home about one hour later. The lag time between the removal of the older children and the search that led to the discovery of the remains hasn’t been explained. The agency took heat over the case of a 5-year-old boy whose disappearance last year went unnoticed for months even though the boy’s family had been monitored by the agency for years. Three employees were fired and a fourth disciplined after an investigation revealed missed social worker visits and other failed opportunities to engage with the family. A girl who is friends with the 13-year-old who was removed from the home described the girl’s mother as determined to keep visitors from entering. “Like, if it was raining, she’d let the dogs in, but not us,” said Taylor Pryor, 13. “Or, if it was, like, snowing or cold or something, she’d only let the animals in and we would have to stay outside, so my mom always told me to go home.” She said she never suspected anything sinister behind the efforts to keep visitors out.

flight program, they can go to Westfield State.” “I think that they have heard about what we’re doing, but it’s nice to do the meet-andgreet, if you will,” Czaporowski said of the meeting with Westfield State administration. “It lets them know what we’ve done on our end and where we plan on going.” In addition to the appointments of Westfield State’s Marketing Director Janet Garcia and AirFlyte President Gary Potts to WVTHS’ Aviation Advisory Board, Czaporowski said that he is meeting Tuesday in Westfield with a representative from Cape Cod Community College about their burgeoning aviation program. “They’re about a year ahead of us in the planning process, probably, so we’re going to pick his brain a little bit,” he said. “This was a preliminary meeting for the university to gather information, find out more about the proposed program and where the university might have a role. All of us who attended applaud all the work that has been accomplished,” said Preston. “We will continue to exchange
information and plan to meet again in a couple of months to explore where we are.”

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot. It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore. But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

Fight over World War II-era tank goes to court REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) — A company headed by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has filed a lawsuit in the San Francisco Bay Area over a World War II-era German tank it says it paid $2.5 million for but never received. The Panzer IV tank was part of a fleet of military vehicles amassed by Stanford University-trained engineer Jacques Littlefield, who kept them on his family estate up a winding, forested road above Silicon Valley. After his death, his family turned them over to the Massachusettsbased Collings Foundation, which put some of them up for auction in Portola Valley in July. In the lawsuit filed Wednesday in San Mateo County, Allen’s company, Vulcan Warbirds, says it reached an agreement to buy the tank after the auction, but was later told there had been a misunderstanding and the foundation didn’t want to give the tank up. By then, it had already wired the money to the bank account of the company that was handling the auction, Auctions America, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit claims breach of contract and names Auctions America and the Collings Foundation. Collings Foundation CEO Rob Collings told the Palo Alto Daily News (http://bit.ly/1pWSlM5) the tank was never sold. The company put it up for auction, but then reached its fundraising goal without selling the tank. The foundation was hoping to raise $10 million from the auction to help build a military vehicle museum at its Stow, Massachusetts, headquarters. “So the decision was made by our trustees that this was core to the collection and we’re going to keep it,” Collings said. He said it was his understanding that Auctions America had returned the $2.5 million. Auctions America spokeswoman Amy Christie said in an email the company understands the matter is in litigation and is working with the parties to reach a resolution. There are only five Panzer IV tanks in the United States, according to Vulcan Warbirds. The Seattle-based company leases rare military planes and vehicles to the Flying Heritage Collection, a museum located in Everett, Washington, the suit says. Vulcan Warbirds said in a statement Auctions America had failed to honor its agreement, and it looked forward to restoring the Panzer IV tank and having it join a Sherman tank and other historic military aircraft and vehicles at the Flying Heritage Collection.

“I just since it was messy. . I thought it was just like a lazy house and they didn’t want anyone seeing their mess, but, I guess, it was more than that.” One neighbor said she never heard any major complaints, but noted that her grandchildren once complained the house smelled bad. Another neighbor said she regretted not calling animal control after seeing a dog tied there on a short rope. A mail carrier, Pam Webster, said that the house appeared dirty and that the children often ate breakfast on the porch. Barbarajean Calnan, who lived two doors down from Murray’s mother, Sharon Murray, in Northbridge, said she knew Erika Murray growing up and was at a loss for words. Erika Murray often came to visit her mother with the two older children, Calnan said, but she never saw any other children. “She was just a good kid,” Calnan said. Lavoie reported from Uxbridge. Associated Press writers Rodrique Ngowi in Blackstone and Philip Marcelo, Steve LeBlanc and Bob Salsberg in Boston contributed to this report.
Erika Murray is escorted into the courtroom by a court officer for her arraignment at Uxbridge District Court in Uxbridge, Mass. on Friday, Sept. 12, 2014. Murray, 31, was arrested Thursday night on charges including fetal death concealment, witness intimidation and permitting substantial injury to a child. Not guilty pleas were entered Friday on her behalf. Detectives investigating a case of reckless endangerment of children found the bodies this week at the house littered with soiled diapers in Blackstone, about 50 miles southwest of Boston.

Peterson’s trick a treat By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – No matter the outcome in Friday’s game, the Whip City was pretty much guaranteed a winner barring a tie. Monica Peterson netted a hat trick (3 goals) to lead the St. Mary High School girls’ soccer team to a 4-0 win over Westfield Voc-Tech at Westfield Middle School North. Lauren Chapdelaine also had a goal, and assist, for the Saints. St. Mary’s received assists from Miranda Arena and Alison Stanlewicz. Saints’ Francesca DePergola collected 26 saves in a stirring shutout. Westfield Voc-Tech goalie Emily White finished with 21 saves. Voc-Tech returns to action Tuesday at Pathfinder. On Monday, St. Mary hosts Mount Greylock. Both games are at 4 p.m.
Hello Mello! Southwick 4, Palmer 1 Alex Mello notched a hat trick, and teammate Lydia Kinsman had one goal and one assist to lead Southwick on the road. Sabrina Provost and Taylor Leclair each had an assist for the Rams. Southwick goalie Tori Richburg finished with three saves.

FIELD HOCKEY Westfield 0, Southwick 0 It was a duel of goalkeepers as Westfield goalie Karly Mastello (6 saves) and Southwick goalie Sarah Bodzinski (13 saves) pitched shutouts in Friday’s crossover game in Southwick. Westfield, who was limited to just one shot in the first half, outshot Southwick 12-4 in the second half. Bodzinski held serve. The Bombers will next take on Minnechaug Monday, while the Rams travel to Cathedral (Spec Pond) Tuesday at 4.

The Rams next host the Monson Mustangs Monday at the Southwick Rec Center at 4 p.m. Belchertown 2, Westfield 0 Belchertown scored a goal in each half, including one on a cornerkick with about 15 minutes remaining to hold off Westfield. Westfield’s first half goalie, Ryan Fitzgibbons, kept his team within striking distance. Bombers’ Ian Saltmarsh made a few big saves in net, as well.
LATE RESULTS BOYS’ SOCCER Southwick 3, South Hadley 0 Southwick’s Ryan Todesco scored two goals, and goalies Patrick King and Kevin Chambers (3 saves) combined for a road shutout.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers
HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ
SPEED FREAKS
LET’S GO
A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves
File photo
Would the King have been as happy under a Chase format?
CHASIN’
AP/STEVE HELBER
Should we get used to seeing this? Who’s your pre-Chase pick to win it all? GODSPEAK: I’m going with the top seed, Brad Keselowski. KEN’S CALL: My cynical side wants Kenseth to win a title without winning a race, but I have a strong Jeff Gordon hunch.
Can you remind us again how and why we now go Chasin’? Since it’s now been a full decade since this Chase deal came to life, it’s probably a good time for a mini history lesson. Once upon a time, there were memorable and downright historic championship battles that went right down to the final Sunday of the season (Petty-Parsons, Petty-Waltrip, Earnhardt-Martin, Kulwicki-Elliott-Allison), but they were rare. So in an effort to guarantee championship drama, NASCAR birthed the Chase in 2004.
How long will Allmendinger and Almirola stay in the Chase?
Guaranteed drama followed and all lived happily ever after?
GODSPEAK: Both make it to the second round. One of them qualifies for the title race at Homestead. KEN’S CALL: One of them will make it through the first cut, but that’s as far as it goes. Getty Images/JARED WICKERHAM

Jimmie Johnson was not present for the photo. The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup field was decided Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway, with Brad Keselowski emerging with the top seed by winning the most races (four) of any driver. This is what the grid looks like for the playoffs, which start Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway, with driver, make of car, number of wins and a quick comment:
Kevin Harvick
will advance.
Chevy, 2: Consistently the fastest car this season, but the team found ways to lose races. Must move foot, then shoot gun.
AJ Allmendinger
Brad Keselowski
Kyle Busch
Ford, 4 wins: He ended the regular season with a walk-off victory and a ton of momentum.
Toyota, 1: Keep an eye on Busch. He has a solid game plan for the Chase. Winning races is not a priority.
Jeff Gordon Chevy, 3: The “drive for five” is still alive for this 43-year-old, who won his last championship in 2001.
Carl Edwards Ford, 2: Lame-duck driver with a team that has struggled throughout stretches of 2014. Easy call here.
Denny Hamlin Toyota, 1: Frustrated and unhappy, Hamlin probably won’t make it out of the Challenger Round.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Kurt Busch
Chevy, 3: After starting the season with a Daytona 500 win, can Earnhardt bookend 2014 with a title?
Chevy, 1: He used the last five races of the regular season as a mock playoff run and did pretty darn well.
Joey Logano
Kasey Kahne
Ford, 3: Logano? Championship? Anything can happen in the Chase, but this is an unlikely scenario.
Chevy, 1: Just barely squeaked in with a late regular-season victory, then was flat awful at Richmond.
Jimmie Johnson
Aric Almirola
Chevy, 3: Just when you start doubting J.J., he flips on the thrusters of his No. 48 entry.
Ford, 1: Richard Petty Motorsports is going to throw everything it has into this playoff. He
Chevy, 1: The “little team that could” needs a little more speed to keep chugging along.
Winner: Jamie McMurray Rest of the top five: Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch Dark horse: AJ Allmendinger
Is it fair? Since everyone is playing by the same rules, sure it’s fair. The only problem is how it distorts championship history. If this had always been in place, Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt might have 15 championships … or they might have none.
Matt Kenseth Toyota, 0: Could be the bracket buster — the guy who wins the crown without winning a race, a bit like his 2003 title run.
Ken Willis has been covering NASCAR for The Daytona Beach NewsJournal for 27 years. Reach him at ken.willis@news-jrnl.com
Greg Biffle
FEUD OF THE WEEK
Ford, 0: Limped into the playoffs with a two-lap-down performance at Richmond. You won’t see him in Round 2.
Ryan Newman Chevy, 0: Richard Childress owns three teams. This is his only car in the Chase. This could happen.
PRETZELITIS Jimmie Johnson’s body was dry as a pretzel after the race at Richmond. He got out of his stock car and collapsed, and was taken to the care center, where he got five liters of fluid. “Just got dehydrated in the car,” he said.
MAGIC 400TH When Brad Keselowski won Richmond, it was Roger Penske’s 400th career victory as a car owner. “Wow, what a night!” Keselowski said.
GODWIN’S CHICAGO PICKS Godwin Kelly is the Daytona Beach News-Journal’s motorsports editor and has covered NASCAR for 30 years. Reach him at godwin. kelly@news-jrnl.com
Yeah, right. It’s a new world, changing by the second, and you can’t risk a moment of tedium. We used to joke (we thought) that NASCAR will eventually reach a point where the top three points leaders are stopped on the final lap of the final race, set side by side just off Turn 4, and told to drag-race to the checkers for the championship. We’re getting closer and closer to that.
Disappointment: Ryan Newman First one out: Kyle Larson Don’t be surprised if: McMurray takes out his postseason failure by winning the first playoff race.
MATT KENSETH
MATT KENSETH
Matt Kenseth vs. Matt Kenseth: The good Matt got into the Chase, while the bad Matt drove his car into the wall and said his race “was terrible.” Godwin Kelly gives his take: “Focus on the view through the windshield and don’t look in the mirror.”

RICHMOND REWIND
Clint Bowyer discusses missing the playoffs and moving forward Clint Bowyer looked like somebody sent his pet goldfish down the drain after finishing third at Richmond and missing the Chase by seven points. Bowyer, who wheels the No. 15 Waltrip Racing Toyota, talked with the media about missing the 2014 playoffs. What’s going through your mind just missing the Chase after running so well? “If you make the Chase you want to compete for a championship, and truth be told, we’re not there right now. A lot of work to do. We’ve got to continue to build on momentum like we had
here tonight.You know, it’s definitely frustrating not making that Chase, but like I said, when you do make the Chase, you want it to be for a championship, not just ride around in it. We still haven’t won a race, and everybody on this 15 team deserves a win by the end of the year, and I’ll see to it they get it.” What do you think about your crew chief saying there would be some changes after this weekend to see improvement? “Well, they say they are. We’ll just have to see. Everybody is working hard, everybody at TRD
(Toyota Racing Development), everybody at MWR. The No. 2 (Brad Keselowski) and the No. 24 (Jeff Gordon) have pretty much been the class of the field all season long. That was our best effort. That’s all I had, that’s all we had as a race team. We put it all out there, and still, we were just third-best. Got some work to do, but a lot of racing left.” Were you paying attention to where Greg Biffle was running during the race? “I didn’t even know until I asked there at the end. All you’ve got to do is ride around back
there. That’s all we had to do last week and the damn thing broke. It’s just the way our luck has been this year. It would’ve been nice to come here in the same situation he (Biffle) was in and ride around back there and not have to do anything, but unfortunately just that’s the way our luck has been this year. Like I said earlier, when you make that Chase you want to be able to compete for a championship, and I’m an optimist but I’m a realist, and right now realistically we don’t have a shot at winning that championship against the competition we’re running against.”

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Any suggestions? Dear Annie: When my father died 15 years ago, my mother was in reasonably good health. When she reached the age of 91, she needed caregivers 24 hours a day. I tried to be the best daughter possible, calling twice a day, taking her to doctors’ appointments and doing her shopping and cooking. She frequently told me (and anyone within earshot) how much she loved me and appreciated me. When Mom turned 94, the expense of keeping her in her home became too much. I took her to a neurologist, who concurred that Mom would do well in an assisted-living facility, so I researched several and moved her to one near my home. Mom loved it. She told all her friends how beautiful it was. Unfortunately, she was there only five weeks when she fell and broke her hip. From that point on, Mom went quickly downhill both physically and mentally. She refused physical therapy after a few weeks and was transferred to two different hospitals four times with urinary tract infections and problems with blood flow in her legs. The fifth time she went to the hospital, the doctor suggested putting Mom into hospice care. She died a short time later. Here is the problem: My two daughters were close to their grandmother and blamed me for her fall, her downhill slide and her death. They even called the authorities saying that I was trying to kill her for the inheritance money. The authorities investigated, of course, and found no truth to those accusations. Since then, one daughter has become distant, and the other doesn’t talk to me at all. She sends venomous text messages that I delete unread. She told everyone that I murdered her grandmother, so she is keeping my grandson from me. I am in therapy dealing with all of this and have tried to get my girls to go with, but neither one will. Any suggestions? -Brokenhearted Dear Brokenhearted: We know your daughters are grieving, but they are being terribly unfair to you. Falls that result in broken hips, poor recovery and downhill slides are not uncommon for those in their 90s, especially when they refuse physical therapy and make multiple trips to the hospital. Your mother was giving up, and you allowed her that choice. It might help to have Mom’s physician or someone at hospice speak to them about this. Hospice also offers grief counseling, and it sounds as though your daughters could benefit from it. If they don’t accept these suggestions from you, please see if another relative or friend could get through to them. Dear Annie: I took offense to your response to “Concerned Friend,” whose friend bites her nails. Does every problem require therapy? Nail biting is simply a nervous habit. Some people are worse than others, and some do it all their lives, but it certainly does not call for therapy. I bit my nails for 20 years. One day, I decided they looked really ugly and stopped, and I’ve had beautiful, manicured nails ever since. It was not obsessive, and I certainly didn’t need therapy to stop. -- S. Dear S.: Not everyone needs therapy to stop a compulsive behavior (this is often another way of saying “bad habit”), and we said so. But it took you 20 years. One or two sessions with a therapist may have given you nice nails a lot sooner. Dear Annie: “Worried Grandpa” says his son-in-law always thinks he’s right and thinks he may be a narcissist. You said the guy might be a good husband and father. Maybe. But if the sonin-law is indeed a narcissist, he isn’t likely to be either. I love my daughter, but she is quite the narcissist. She married a quiet young man whom I pity for what he puts up with. “Worried” should continue to visit his grandson and let his daughter know he’s there for her. -- Worried Mom
HINTS FROM HELOISE TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: My favorite hint for my friends is to never pack separate HIS and HER bags when traveling together. Pack several complete outfits in each other’s bag. One lady on a cruise never received her luggage and had to wear her husband’s clothes and buy clothes at each port. (Heloise here: Doesn’t sound too bad to me!) Save receipts. If this happens to you -- losing your luggage and having to buy new clothes -- you might be able to make an insurance claim. -- Amy H., Garden Grove, Calif. Things do happen! Never put medicine or valuables (including new, expensive purchases) in checked luggage. My carryon always has makeup, meds, important files and paperwork, as well as a change of blouse plus an extra scarf. I can survive for a day or two, if necessary! -- Heloise HELPFUL HINTS Dear Heloise: I started cutting out the Hints From Heloise that I wanted for future reference. Pieces of newspaper were cluttering up the counter and were disorganized. To keep track of the hints I wanted to save, I made a “Hints From Heloise” note on the notes function of my phone. When I see a hint I want for future reference, I type it into my electronic notes. -Catherine C., via email

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Sept. 13, 2014: This year you complete a 12-year luck cycle. You might want to identify what works in your life and what doesn’t; it is important to enter the new 12-year luck cycle with only what is valid in your life. Start looking at your life from a different perspective. If you are single, be aware that you could choose someone who is emotionally unavailable. Be careful. If you are attached, your creativity will soar, and it will spice up your relationship. Schedule a special trip you often discuss together. TAURUS helps you understand different cultures and styles. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Others tend to see you as being full of surprises. You could witness a conflict occur between your desires and someone else’s wishes. Be careful, as this person could become unruly. Reach out to a friend you see in a daily setting. Tonight: Make it your treat. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You’ll achieve exactly what you want, but a key friend or loved one might let you know how off base he or she feels you are. Your imagination is likely to take over, which will allow more fun into your day. A romance could be blossoming. Tonight: As you like it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Think about what was said in a discussion. Though you can be a Chatty Cathy, right now you’ll need to be in deep thought. Be more in tune with what is going on around you. You suddenly might understand why a loved one seems so angry. Tonight: Play it lowkey. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Focus on what is happening within your immediate circle. A loved one could be closed off right now. You might try to pry this person open to no avail. Go off and enjoy yourself, and soon you will discover that he or she just needs some space. Tonight: Do what you want. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You could be more in the limelight than you have been in the recent past. Be more forthright about your plans when trying to squeeze in everything you want to do. A child might try to draw you in to a fun happening. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be wondering what plans would be the most fun to pursue. Opt to head in your chosen direction or go for a drive. Listen to news more openly. Put greater emphasis on trying a new type of adventure that involves some travel. Tonight: Follow the music. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Plan on getting together with others later in the day. You also might want to deal with a loved one directly. Schedule some quality one-on-one time with this person. Your instincts tend to work well with this person, so be sure to follow them. Tonight: How about a friendly dinner? SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You’ll accomplish what you want despite a morning tiff or two. Your irritable mood might have pushed others away, so make a point of clearing that up. Friends and loved ones will appreciate your company at a get-together. Tonight: And the party goes on. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might be overly concerned with certain details that need handling. You will get a lot done, especially with Mars dropping into your sign today. Your social side will demand selfexpression, no matter what is going on. Tonight: Don’t push others as hard as you usually do. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might want to touch base with a loved one or indulge your sweetie. What is stopping you? Understand your limits, and fulfill your obligations first. A friend could be disappointed, as he or she might have been looking forward to spending time with you. Tonight: Where the fun is. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You might be stuck in a certain routine more than you realize. Oneon-one relating could prove to be most rewarding. You have a way of combining romance with friendship that is unbeatable. Tonight: You could be surprised by how plans fall into place. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You’ll discover that everything will fall into place if you just relax and go with the flow. News from a friend

could put an obstacle in your path. Others are likely to come forward and let you know how important you are to them. Be spontaneous. Tonight: Flirt the night away. BORN TODAY U.S. Army physician Walter Reed (1851), singer Bill Monroe (1911), Hershey Chocolate Company founder Milton S.
