Addict sentenced, imprisoned

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Although police officers may get discouraged by what may seem to be a ‘catch and release’ policy regarding drug offenders when they are delivered to the Commonwealth’s courts, they are buoyed by the periodic successes they encounter such as a recent verdict in Hampden Superior Court which sent an habitual city drug offender to state prison.

Mark A. Mark A. Nikiel, Nikiel 40, most lately of 8 Conner Ave. ( a recently condemned residence), is a heroin addict who has supported his habit by selling heroin to other users, Det. Sgt. Stephen K. Dickinson said recently after Nikiel was sentenced to a three years and a day term by Judge Mary-Lou Rup. Dickinson has long maintained that commercial heroin dealers do not operate in the city and supplies of heroin largely are brought into the city, in relatively small batches, by users who travel to Holyoke or Springfield to buy, not only drugs for themselves, but a surplus to sell to other city addicts.

Nikiel, Dickinson said, “is the typical Westfield junkie trying to support his own habit by selling to other users.”

He said that addicts “have to get the money somewhere” and some support their habits by stealing.

He cited on addict who supports his habit by “selling his father’s stuff” at a pawn shop where “his father keeps buying the stuff back.”

He said that he once asked the man why he didn’t tell the pawn shop staff to stop buying stolen property from his son See Sentenced, Page 3

Southwick solar project solution planned

By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Southwick Planning Board is waiting to approve changes to a solar project behind Big Y until a site visit takes place.

Matthew Puntin of SKS Design, designer of the seven-acre solar array, met with the board this week to dicsuss changes to the stormwater management plan following water damage done to neighbors of the property last month.

“This is in response to the flash storm we had Aug. 13,” Puntin said.

Two homes, one owned by Michael Noble and the other by Martha Baillargeon, suffered damage when water from the project ran onto their properties during the heavy rainstorm.

Noble’s property was damaged both in the front and back yard, and Baillargeon’s gravel driveway washed out onto College Highway.

Both residents attended this week’s planning board meeting to hear what Puntin had to say.

“We’re proposing an additional swale for an extra level of protection,” said Puntin of the area near Noble’s house.

Puntin proposed another trench to keep water from Baillargeon’s home. The trench

proposed, however, is shorter than Baillargeon’s property and Planning Board Vice Chairperson Roz Terry wondered how that would keep the water away.

Terry said if the trench was not long enough, she envisioned the water finding a new place to run off. Puntin said he believed the new trench – plus the existing tench that runs the length of the solar project property – would hold water.

Baillargeon said she was concerned it would not hold, and also questioned what would happen in the winter when the trenches are frozen and water runs right over them.

During the discussion, everyone agreed there had been several water concerns prior to the solar project. Terry stressed that it’s not Puntin’s job to fix all the issues.

“Keep in mind they don’t have to make it better than it was, they just can’t make it worse,” she said.

Baillargeon and Noble said the problem is that it is worse. Baillargeon said the water problems go back to 2003 when the property owner was planning to create a residential subdivision there and began clearing trees See Solar Project, Page 3

Council approves appropriations

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The City Council voted unanimously Thursday night to approve two appropriations requested by Mayor Daniel M. Knapik, one for historic preservation and the other to settle a claim awarded by the state Tax Appellate Board.

The council approved an appropriation of $30,000 from Community Preservation Act funding to preserve headstones at the Old Burying Grounds off Mechanic Street.

Finance Chairman Christopher Keefe, whose committee gave a 3-0 positive recommendation to both appropriations, said the funding for the headstone preservation is an example of appropriate use of the CPA fund-

ing.

“This money will be used in restoring some of the oldest gravestones in the city,” Keefe said.

At-large Councilor David A. Flaherty said he “would love to see more of this type of funding, money for historic preservation, rather than some of the other projects funded with CPA money.”

The CPA funding was requested by the Historical Commission for preservation of headstones in the Old Burying Grounds. The Community Preservation Committee approved the preservation project, which requires an affirmative vote of the City Council to appropriate that money.

The Historical Commission has already

initiated restoration of headstones at the Old Burying Grounds off Mechanic Street, using money raised last year at the inaugural ‘ghost tours, as well as donations, to preserve a damaged stone which was in dire need of restoration and which could harm people near the stone if it collapsed.

A major restoration effort will begin later this year following the City Council appropriation Thursday night.

The Community Preservation Committee approved a Historical Commission request last month for $30,000 to begin the Old Burying Grounds restoration project because of the historical significance to the city. The See Council, Page 3

Explorers seeking community support

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Not only do participants in the Police Explorers program get something from the program but they also give something to the community that supports them.

The members of the program get a taste of police work while they are searching for their road in life and, in the process, provide valuable service to the community as they help at a wide variety of events in the community each year.

“Ninety-nine percent

Officer Mark Carboneau reports that the Explorers help with traffic and safety issues and they also help out at events – both large and small – such as fingerprinting children at child identification events or at large annual events such as the fireworks display and the Easter egg hunt.

Once a year the Explorers ask for the community’s support in a fund drive to raise the money needed to pay for uniforms, trips and events such as the annual regional Police Explorer competition in Connecticut.

Carboneau reports that, starting on Monday, professional fundraisers will be calling residents seeking financial contributions to help with the Explorers’ expenses.

Residents willing to help are asked to make checks payable to Westfield Police Explorers and the calling solicitor will schedule a time with each donor to leave the check on their door for pick up.

Carboneau asks that persons interested in the program – or the fund drive – call him at 413-2463794 for answers to any questions they may have.

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD “Signs, signs, everywhere a sign”…

At least one city council member “can’t take it anymore” so he submitted a motion to conduct an inventory of city and state signs with the goal of reducing the number of those signs throughout the city.

City Council President Brent B. Bean II, who BRENT BEAN II admitted last night that he “is obsessed” with the number of signs which are redundant or no longer needed during his discussion of the motion which was referred to the Traffic Commission and Board of Public Works, said there is a glut of signs throughout the entire city.

“We’re putting a lot of signs up, but we’re not taking any down,” Bean said. “I’d like an inventory, not just downtown, but throughout the whole city.”

Bean gave the council members two examples of unneeded or redundant signage.

“Next to the Tavern (Restaurant) there is a street, an alley, which is not a street anymore.

They planted a tree in front of it and put in a curb (during the Broad Street improvement project), but the stop signs are still there,” Bean said.

“Another example is the small rotary at the top of Drug Store Hill where there are four big arrow signs directing the flow of traffic around that See Signs, Page 8

Trustees set evaluation timeline

By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Executive Committee of Westfield State University’s Board of Trustees met Thursday to set a timetable for evaluating the job being done by Interim University President Dr. Elizabeth Preston.

A former vice president of academic affairs and faculty member at the school, Preston ascended to the presidency following the departure of former President Dr. Evan S. Dobelle, who retired amid a litany of allegations of spending improprieties.

Components of the final review package to be sent to the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education include Preston’s written self-assessment, the board’s evaluation of her performance, an account of a face-to-face meeting between Preston, the board chairman and the executive committee, a follow-up report to the full board and a letter from the board chairman to Preston describing the process and general results.

These components are in addition to the university’s strategic plan and the establishment of goals and objectives for the coming year.

“It’s a new process for me. I have not been involved in the past,” said Elizabeth Scheibel, chairperson of the board of trustees and former Northwest District Attorney. “We have been given a deadline for the submission of our evaluation – October 10. We have a short window of opportunity.”

Several members of the executive board stated that they had been in contact with Jennifer Perkins, director of the office of trustee relations for the state board of higher education regarding altering the Oct. 10 due date.

Farmer: Missing bull flipped over fence by buffalo MERCER, Pa. (AP) — A western Pennsylvania dairy farmer says a 2-yearold bull that went missing for a month was likely pushed over a fence by a friend’s pregnant buffalo.

Kevin Minor loaned out his 400-pound Watusi bull, “Lucky,” hoping it would mate with a friend’s buffalo near Mercer, about 60 miles north of Pittsburgh.

Minor now believes the buffalo angrily rebuffed the bull and knocked him over the fence. It turns out the buffalo was already pregnant and gave birth two days after Lucky arrived.

The bull was reported missing on July 14.

The (Sharon) Herald (http://bit. ly/1uLTw7D ) reported Thursday that the bull was located in some nearby woods a month later. Minor coaxed the bull back with a small group of cows which the farmer knew the bull liked.

Hearses to parade through Hell (Michigan) HELL, Mich. (AP) — Dozens of Michigan hearse enthusiasts will show off their casketcarrying cars during a parade through Hell.

The procession Saturday is part of the 13th annual Hellfest celebration in the hamlet 45 miles west of Detroit. It follows an all-hearse car show.

The Hell-based car club called Just Hearse ‘N Around is hoping to reclaim a Guinness World Records mark it set in 2011 when 51 vehicles made the parade. A 107-strong hearse contingent in the Netherlands shattered that record a year later.

Just Hearse ‘N Around co-founder Frank Hendeen told the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus, of Howell, (http://bit. ly/1qhie9w) that some funeral homes will take part.

But the retired police officer says, “most won’t, because they think we’re a bunch of — well, we are weird people.”

“It was never like this before,” said Noble following the wash-out. “It was never this bad. They cleared out the woods and the water came right through my property – my backyard is destroyed.”

Puntin said during his original presentation to the planning board that most of the parcel is wooded and there would be clearing of much of the land, leaving a buffer of wooded area between the installation and residences to the south.

Nikiel, Dickinson said, is “one who’s been selling drugs to support his own habit for years.”

A check of his criminal history reveals about 65 offenses which have sent him to jail on at least six occasions.

Nikiel apparently first went to jail in July of 1999 when he was sentenced to an 18-month term for selling marijuana.

By April of 2000, he had been released and he was sentenced to a two-year term for selling heroin.

He also served time twice for possession of heroin and also was sentenced (in separate cases) for possession of oxycodone and for illegal possession of two prescription drugs.

Despite his previous incarcerations, Dickinson said, Nikiel’s latest conviction will be a little different for him.

Most recently, when city detective executed a warrant at his 8 Conner Ave. home in Dec. of 2012, Nikiel was found

There, Dickinson said, Nikeil spurned a plea offered and chose to stand trial.

In a bench trail last week before Rup, he was sentenced to a three year and a day term, with credit for time served.

Nikiel, who has been held since his arrest almost two years ago, will have to serve about a year but this time he will not serve his sentence in county jail – he’ll go to state prison.

“This is the first time he’s going to the pen,” Dickinson said, “He’s never done state time before.

The City Council also approved an funding request from City Collector Michael McMahon who submitted the $31,800 appropriation because of an Appellate Tax Board (ATB) decision finding that a company at Barnes Regional Airport was over-taxed.

McMahon, in a letter to the City Council, said that the ATB “abated” Airflyte, Inc., tax assessment. The company is due the abated amount, plus interest.

“This request is the result of an administrative court order and is a legal debt incurred by the city,” McMahon said in that communication.

Keefe said that the city usually budgets $500,000 for tax abatements, but a large part of that funding is dedicated to abatements awarded to veterans and A couple of ghosts haunt the Old Burying that the account did not have “sufficient funding” to pay the tax abatement to Airflyte.

“Under the panels, vegetation will continue to grow,” said Puntin. “We’re clearing trees but leaving brush.”

Currently, there is no vegetation at the site. The panel frames are already installed and the land underneath was cleared and covered in mulch.

Water was to run off the panels under adjacent panels, and a five-foot wide by three-foot deep stone trench would surround the perimeter of the installation. A six-foot chain link fence was also planned around the panels.

Puntin said the trench would act as a detention basin.

“This allows the water to perc back into the ground,” he said.

Workers were connecting string lines to the metal frames this week and said the 1.8 megawatt array would include nearly 6,000 panels, which would be delivered later this month and take about two weeks to install.

Baillargeon said at the time of the wash-out that the town and representatives of the project acted quickly to remedy the situation short-term.

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!

Appropriate PulseLine voice-mails will now be replayed on The Westfield News Radio Show every Thursday morning from 6-8am at 89.5FM.

Connecticut ex-governor convicted of new crimes HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Former Connecticut Gov. John G. Rowland, who resigned from office a decade ago in a corruption scandal, was convicted Friday of federal charges that he conspired to hide payment for work on two congressional campaigns.

Rowland, once a rising star for the Republican Party, served 10 months in prison for taking illegal gifts while in office and now as a repeat offender faces the possibility of a much stiffer sentence.

The government’s case centered around a contract between Rowland and a nursing home chain owned by the husband of 2012 congressional candidate Lisa Wilson-Foley. Rowland’s attorneys argued he volunteered for the campaign while receiving Rowland $35,000 to consult for her husband’s company, but prosecutors said the money was an illegal payment for campaign services.

Rowland was convicted in New Haven federal court of all seven counts, including conspiracy, falsifying records in a federal investigation, causing false statements to be made to the Federal Election Commission and causing illegal campaign contributions.

Rowland was elected to the U.S. House three times, governor three times and served as chairman of the national Republican Governors Association. He had been mentioned as a possible vice presidential candidate or cabinet member before he was impeached and resigned.

He was released from prison in 2006 and began rebuilding his life, landing a job as an economic development coordinator before becoming host of a popular radio show. In his first interview after leaving prison, the man known for his charm and quick wit said he had faith God would steer him down a different path.

“When you lose your freedom, it’s a very humbling experience,” he said.

But he found himself in the crosshairs of federal investigators once again as he pursued a return to politics.

Much of the evidence against Rowland came from email correspondence, such as one in which he wrote to Wilson-Foley’s husband, Brian Foley, shortly after proposing he become a paid political consultant for his wife. Foley testified during the trial that Wilson-Foley wanted Rowland’s help but for her primary campaign believed his involvement, if made public, would attract negative publicity.

“Had a brief chat with Lisa. I get it. Let’s you and I meet,” Rowland wrote to Foley.

In March, the Foleys each pleaded guilty to conspiring to make illegal campaign contributions, a misdemeanor. Brian Foley became the government’s star witness, testifying that he paid Rowland for campaign work and the work he did for Foley’s company, Apple Health Care Inc., was only cursory.

Rowland’s lawyers attacked Foley’s credibility, showing he illegally funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to his wife’s campaign and could have faced significant prison time if he had not cut a deal. They argue the former governor was unaware of any conspiracy to keep Rowland happy in his campaign work by paying him through Apple.

Rowland did not testify in his own defense and his lawyers presented one witness, Apple executive Brian Bedard, who testified that Rowland did real work for him and he did not believe the contract was a sham.

Rowland was also accused of trying to cut a similar business deal with another politician.

Mark Greenberg, a Republican who is again running for Congress this year, testified that Rowland proposed becoming a consultant to his 2010 campaign while being paid as though he was working for the candidate’s animal rescue organization.

Greenberg said he turned down the proposal from Rowland.

Rowland’s lawyers argued that he never ended up working for Greenberg and no crime was committed.

Convictions on all the charges carried a possible maximum prison sentence of 57 years.

Georgia governor questions unemployment data

By Kyle Cheney Politico.com Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal, a Republican, says something fishy is going on with his state’s unemployment numbers — and he thinks federal bureaucrats may have something to do with it.

The state saw its unemployment rate tick upward in August despite what his administration describes as robust job growth that month.

At a public event Thursday, Deal described an inexplicable “influence” on the unemployment rate in Republican-led states.

“It’s ironic that in a year in which Republican governors are leading some of the states that are making the most progress, that they almost, without exception, are classified as having a bump in their unemployment rates,” he said in a clip circulated by the Democratic Governors Association. “Whereas states that are under Democrat governors’ control, they are all showing that their unemployment rate has dropped. And I don’t know how you account for that. Maybe there is some influence here that we don’t know about.”

Asked to clarify the governor’s remarks, a Deal spokeswoman pointed out that the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics had in previous years reported high unemployment rates in July

and August only to revise them downward the following year.

“Given the increase in jobs we’ve seen this month, the BLS’ pattern of downward revision and the drop in unemployment claims, the number doesn’t make sense,” said the spokeswoman, Jennifer Talaber. “States with Republican governors across the country are also seeing spikes in their unemployment rates.”

The assertion is reminiscent of Republican claims in 2012 that President Barack Obama’s administration had manipulated unemployment data to show positive economic momentum in the final months of his reelection campaign. Deal’s spokeswoman pointed to the episode and said it warrants “closer examination of unemployment rates.”

The Bureau of Labor Statistics, a branch of the Department of Labor, often notes that its monthly job figures are estimates, prone to significant revision as better data come in.

The 2012 claims by some on the right were roundly ridiculed. On Thursday, the DGA weighed in on Deal’s remarks, calling him an unemployment “truther,” a reference to conspiracy theorists.

“Governor, it’s time to put the tinfoil hats away and get to work for Georgia’s devastated middle class,” the group said in a statement. Deal is in the middle of a tough reelection race against Democrat Jason Carter.

Mass. wins $400K prescription drug grant BOSTON (AP) — The Massachusetts Department of Public Health has been awarded a $400,000 federal grant to help combat prescription drug abuse.

Gov. Deval Patrick, who has declared opioid abuse a public health emergency, said Friday that the grant will help improve the state’s “Prescription Drug Monitoring Program,” which tracks the prescribing and dispensing of certain scheduled prescriptions drugs by Massachusetts pharmacies.

The two-year U.S. Department of Justice grant will allow the state to offer training to health care providers and law enforcement officials focused on identifying prescription drug abuse an using the state’s prescription monitoring system. It will also help the state provide education and community outreach to help address prescription drug abuse generally.

From the desk of the Superintendent…

The school year is off to a good start and students are adjusting well to new routines and settling in for fall. We are pleased that all of our curriculum materials are now aligned with the 2011 version of the Massachusetts State Standards. The standards were drawn from the wid Common Core, implemented in 47 states, and many districts began using them ahead of Westfield as we were not part of the Race to the Top initiative. This delay was helpful as it enabled us to learn from other districts to see how they managed the impleDR. SUZANNE mentation and also gave us time to choose SCALLION instructional materials with care.

The Common Core has been in the news frequently. It is so interesting from my vantage point as so many politicians profess expert opinions on its advantages and disadvantages. Simply stated, the Common Core is not a lot different from past curricular mandates. It is a list of what we expect a student to know at the end of the year in each content area. What is different is that most states agreed to the same list; specifically, each state agreed to make the Common Core 85% of their foundation. To me, this was a positive move as many of our students and families are mobile and this ensures a more consistent educational experience.

The more controversial aspects of the Common Core are tied to assessment and teacher evaluation. These will be explored in future articles.

One reason that our MCAS scores have trailed similar districts across the state is that we were behind in the match between our curriculum materials and the standards. Since the MCAS is measuring mastery of the standards, we need to be certain that our students are competitive with others who will be vying for spots in universities and in the workplace. It seems obvious to state that effective teaching is much more than teaching the standards. We encourage our teachers to teach the standards in a way that is engaging and has real world application.

Many of our teachers became ‘brand new’ educators with the adoption of this work. A whole new curriculum needed to be learned and all of the components of the new programs also needed to be mastered. This work is ongoing as the adoption of new books and programs continues in this school year.

Our 4th and 5th grade teachers will be mastering the new Language Arts curriculum with students who have been learning the new standards since 2nd grade. This should translate into improved MCAS scores in the years ahead as our students grow into the new expectations.

For example, the first class to start with the new standards from the beginning of their edu-

cation are now 2nd graders. In the Fall of 2016, we will have our first set of MCAS data on 4th grade students who have had the new standards from the beginning. Until then, we will see pockets of success based on the length of implementation. For example, last years 4th & 5th grade students were still not using aligned curriculum. Yet, our 2nd and 3rd graders were in their 2nd year of the new standards. Currently, if we examine only Math and Language Arts, the year of implementation of the new standards is shown below.

Grade Reading Math K ---- ---1st Year 2 Year 2 2nd Year 3 Year 3 3rd Year 3 Year 4 4th Year 1 Year 4 5th Year 1 Year 4 6th Year 1 Year 4 7th Year 2 Year 2 8th Year 2 Year 2 As a team, we are fortunate to work in a city that supports its schools and that the budget has allowed us to purchase needed curriculum materials. We are also fortunate to have an outstanding staff development program that ensures our teachers have the time and training to develop their new programs.

Here’s to a year of growth and success for Westfield Public Schools.

INSIDE OUT:

Expressive Arts Adoption Healing Seminar WESTFIELD — Genesis Spiritual Life and Conference Center is pleased to announce it will once again host INSIDE OUT: The Expressive Arts Adoption Healing Seminar beginning on Saturday, September 27th at 11 a.m. and concluding on Sunday, September 28th at 6 p.m.

INSIDE OUT offers the opportunity for anyone involved in adoption, including adoptees, birth/first parents, adoptive parents, foster parents and children, siblings, significant others and professionals to identify and validate wounds and challenges from their experience.

The seminar will use creative expression and light spiritual practices to foster resolution and healing around adoption.

INSIDE OUT in its second time in Western MA will be presented by both Craig Hyman, as a reunited adoptee and a foster child, and Christine Koubek as a reunited adoptee, who have both experienced the depth of separation trauma from blood relatives, as well as the transformative, healing process of the mind, body, and spirit. Their aim is also to promote personal growth in order to educate and enlighten broader society about the long-term effects of separation and connection.

Craig Hyman honors a lifelong calling in the areas of adoption healing, education and spiritual growth. He is an Adoption Educator, Adoption Life Coach and works in the entertainment arts. Christine Koubek is a writing workshop leader, and the co-founder of the on-line community and publication Secret Sons & Daughters-Tales From The Sealed Records Era. Christine’s own birth mother was a resident at Genesis in the late 60’s when it was formerly Holy Child Guild, a home for unwed mothers. When Christine visited Genesis for the first time two years ago, and met Sister Elizabeth, one of the people responsible for turning Holy Child into Genesis, the place became a great source of inspiration and healing for her.

“As our Mission states ‘Genesis creates an environment that will reveal the love of God for all creation and bring hope and healing to all who come’, so we are so happy to have the opportunity to present this path to healing,” expressed Liz Walz, Executive Director of Genesis Spiritual Life and Conference Center.

During the seminar, attendees will choose from a variety of creative expression sessions, each led by Hyman and Koubek.

Sessions include meditation, movement, dance, journaling, collage, role play, bodywork, and more. The weekend will conclude with a group dialogue and playful closing to promote a smooth transition from the seminar, establish community and ideas for ongoing support.

The cost to attend the seminar is $225 which includes meals, and lodging, while being surrounded by the beautiful scenery and fall foliage of Western MA; pre-registration is required. There is limited financial scholarship money for those who cannot pay the full price of the seminar.

Genesis Spiritual Life and Conference Center is located at 53 Mill Street, Westfield, MA. For more information about the program and to register, please Genesis at call 413-562-3627.

These citations will serve to supplement this Press Release.

Also, at the brunch, the three recipients of the first annual scholarships will be recognized. The scholarship is named after the late Honorable Kent B. Smith who served for many years as an Associate Justice of the Massachusetts Appeals Court. Previously, Judge Smith had been an Associate Justice of the Superior Court, an Adjunct Professor of Law at Western New England University School of Law, and earlier in his career as a public defender.

Michael P. Conlin Southampton — Michael P. Conlin, 59, a man who could enter a room as a stranger and leave as a friend, died September 7. Michael was born in Worcester, MA to Daniel and Carol (Sloan) Conlin. He attended Assumption Prep and graduated from Williston Northampton School where he excelled at cross country and track. He attended UMass and pursued an avid study of Irish language at the Elms, in Ireland, and at schools and conferences throughout the northeast.

Many remember Michael for his work in scouting. He was scoutmaster for TR 110 in Westfield, and founded and led TR 210 in Southampton. He received the Silver Beaver award for his work creating and implementing the Chief Warner Jr. Leader Training program.

He was an owner of the Wintergreen Kennels in Southampton, steering the business through decades of growth and success.

His deepest love was for his family. Michael and his wife Judith (Miller) would have celebrated 40 years of marriage in October. His daughter Flannery Wiemer and her husband Kristopher are the parents of granddaughters Isabelle and Grace. His son Jared and wife Melissa (Partridge) are the parents of his granddaughter Gwyneth.

Michael reveled in his role as “Seanathair” to the three girls and was proud to see his two children grow to be accomplished, successful adults. He actively shared a love and appreciation of the family land and its history.

He leaves his father Dan, and his sisters Lori Conlin Riley and Patricia Conlin Shreve and their families. He also leaves Kate Miller Carl, Elizabeth Miller Grasty, Louisa Miller Hoar, Bruce Douglas Miller and their families. His mother Carol, his brother John, and sister Kathleen Conlin Towle predeceased him. Numerous nieces and nephews knew that they could count on Uncle Michael for a listening ear and commonsense advice.

Trustees It was the hope of the executive board that trustee Steven Marcus would be able to get an extension from State Commissioner of Higher Education Richard Freeland.

“I’m going to see if we can push this off an additional 30 days to be able to make sure we have good, careful thought and that everyone is on the same page,” said Marcus.

Preston said that the Commonwealth-mandated presidential evaluations used to be due on October 15, but have since been moved up to Sept. 15 and will occur in June next year for all institutions.

According to the university’s bylaws, the board of trustees’ executive committee is responsible for conducting a comprehensive evaluation every three to five years in addition to the annual evaluation.

“What we’ve tried to do in the past, whenever you do an evaluation you have metrics you have to go against and the metrics have to be clearly defined,” said Board Finance Chairman Kevin Queenin.

“We asked the president to

Bean said that the city will have to review ordinances approved for the placement of many traffic directional signs and work with the state Department of Transportation “which is as good as the city in putting signs up, but not taking them down when they’re no longer needed.”

Continued from Page 1 outline objectives for the coming year, put some measurement to those objectives and, at the end, how they were met or whether they were met.”

Queenin added that the objectives of the president should correlate to the strategic objectives of the university.

“In our business, we try to make it simple, clear, not ambiguous and not subjective,” he said. “We try to quantify them as specific as possible.”

While Queenin said that the evaluation needs to be completed by October 10, the other objective should be a review of what went on for the

last number of months, with measurements of what the expectations were and whether they were met “in the context of what was going on.”

“This year’s (evaluation) will be an anomaly.” said Queenin due to the extenuating circumstances relating to Preston’s appointment as president.

Scheibel said that she didn’t think the 30 days was going to happen but encouraged Marcus to use his powers of persuasion to express to Freeland the need to extend the deadline.

Preston informed the board that she will have her selfevaluation completed by

TAVERN

September 29 to grant the trustees ample time to conduct their annual evaluation.

The next scheduled meeting for the full board of trustees is on October 8 and the hope of the executive committee is that some type of concensus can be drawn together to complete the review, regardless of whether Marcus is able to get an extension.

“I think October 10 is doable, collectively, if we break up the work and assign tasks to people,” said Sheibel.

“We can use the executive committee to fine tune it (the evaluation) after the October meeting so it can be ratified at the December meeting.”

By Chris Putz Staff Writer WEST SPRINGFIELD – An MVP performance, at the very least, is worthy of a win. Unfortunately for one Westfield High School upperclassman that was not the case.

Westfield senior halfback Cody Neidig piled up nearly 300 all-purpose yards in Friday night’s football game at West Springfield. The Bombers lost 28-14.

Neidig rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown, hauled in a 42-yard TD catch, and was solid in the return game before he and his teammates ran out of steam.

West Springfield struck first.

After stopping Westfield on a short fourth down red zone conversion on the game’s opening drive, West Side ripped off big chunks of yardage to score after just five plays. The Terriers scored on senior running back Joe Motta’s 7-yard touchdown jaunt with 6:53 remaining in the opening quarter.

The key plays on the drive featured a 35-yard run from shifty junior Marquise Murphy, and a 26-yard run from elusive junior quarterback Anthony Costa that Costa opened by running to the left and cutting back all the way to the right sideline before turning upfield.

Westfield responded.

On its next series, Westfield took over at midfield and marched 50 yards in four plays. The Bombers, for the second time in the game, enjoyed good field position thanks to great special teams play.

Neidig returned the opening kickoff 25 yards; Craig Ward took the second kickoff 35 yards, setting up Westfield for the tying score.

Junior quarterback Scott Hoiberg connected with Neidig on a 42-yard catch-and-run touchdown up the middle on fourthand-1 to knot the game at 6-6 with 4:15 left in the quarter.

Neidig’s extra point kick gave the Bombers a 7-6 lead.

West Springfield answered.

After beginning on its own 39, West Side drove 51 yards in six plays. The Terriers scored on a 40-yard run from Costa with 43.1 ticks left in the quarter. A 2-point pass made it a 14-7 ballgame.

With 21 points scored in less than 15 minutes, the game appeared to be shaping up as a real barnburner … until the offenses slowed to a crawl.

Westfield was stopped on a couple of long, time-consuming drives, one of which ate up more than five minutes before resulting in a punt. West Springfield had an efficient sevenplay, 60-yard drive swallowed up in a Ward interception at the Bombers’ own 12-yard line just before the half.

Both teams’ offenses stalled early in the second half, and then the floodgates opened.

After Hoiberg intercepted a pass deep in Westfield territory, Neidig bounced outside on the Bombers’ first play from scrimmage and raced 92 yards for a touchdown. His score and subsequent extra point tied the game 14-all with 6:11 left in the third quarter.

The tie lasted for all off eight seconds as West Springfield’s Pat Masi returned the ensuing kickoff 62 yards for a touchdown. With 6:02 remaining in the quarter, the Terriers reclaimed the lead, 20-14. The two-point run failed.

The two teams played hot potato early in the fourth quarter.

West Springfield moved the ball into the red zone before fumbling. Three plays later, Westfield returned the favor when Terriers’ Dan Garvey stripped the ball and recovered on the Bombers’ 34-yard line.

West Side immediately scored when Costa completed a 34-yard touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Jared Costa with 9:32 left on the clock. After converting on the two-point try, the Terriers led 28-14.

West Side put the game out of reach a short time later.

After a Westfield drive stalled after four plays, West Springfield punched it in on a 23-yard TD pass completion between the Costas with 4:45 left.

The Bombers moved the ball deep into the Terriers’ end of the field in the waning minutes before an interception killed their drive.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ

SPEED FREAKS

UP TO THE CHALLENGE

A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves

AP/NAM Y. HUH

Heading Down Under instead of Over Yonder.

Is Brad Keselowski officially the Chase favorite now?

GODSPEAK: “Bad Brad” sits atop the Keselowski-GordonHarvick triangle at the moment.

KEN’S CALL: Many had him there a week ago; most have him there now. It’s not Aric Almirola, by the way.

What will you remember most about the “Marcos Ambrose Era”?

GODSPEAK: His anecdotes about panning for gold in North Carolina creeks.

KEN’S CALL: That he had the coolest NASCAR accent this side of Ward Burton.

ONLINE EXTRAS news-journalonline. com/nascar facebook.com/ nascardaytona

The first race of the Chase was a microcosm of the regular season and likely a preview of the remaining playoff races.

Brad Keselowski, driving a Team Penske Ford, pulled away from Jeff Gordon, wheeling a Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, as the two top-seeded drivers finished first and second at Chicagoland Speedway.

While there is no rest for Chase competitors, Keselowski can go to the second race of the playoffs without worrying about advancing to the next round of competition. Race winners get a pass to the next round.

On the other hand, he doesn’t want to lose momentum. He’s won the past two Cup races.

“I want to enjoy the moment, but I still know there’s nine weeks to go,” said Keselowski, the 2012 Cup champ. “We have a bit of a hall pass for the next two … I’m very appreciative.

“But those other seven, nobody cares that we won Chicago, nobody cares that we won Richmond or the other three races. It keeps resetting.

You have to reset yourself. You have to keep developing the car and pushing as a team.”

Gordon was happy with second place, knowing that top-five finishes will take him to the Championship Round at Homestead-Miami Speedway in November.

Gordon, a four-time Cup champ, didn’t back away from his comment about being happy with nine consecutive second-place finishes going into Homestead.

“Eight more and I’ll be really happy,” he said with a laugh. “You want to get the win. While you can move to the next level with that happening, you almost kind of have to win after that.

“I think this is a great time for us to come out

AP/NAM Y. HUH

Blown engine could equal blown Chase for Almirola.

Should anything surprise us through one round of the Chase?

of here really solid and with a great second-place finish. We’ve got to get a little bit better. No doubt about it.”

Even with their combined success at Chicago, both drivers are looking over their shoulders.

The only surprise is that there were no big surprises. No one went behind the Chase 8-ball — unless they were deemed a long shot anyway (take a bow, Aric Almirola). And no one ran up front who wasn’t expected to do just that. So there you have it, one winner (Brad Keselowski) and, frankly, only one loser (did we mention Aric already?).

TOYOTA’S TROUBLES If it seems like it’s been a long time since you’ve seen Denny Hamlin or Kyle Busch in Victory Lane, you are right. Team Toyota has gone 17 races without a victory. The last Toyota win was by Hamlin on May 4 at Talladega. That was springtime, and the calendar now has a toe in autumn. Matt Kenseth, winless this season, said he was disappointed with 10th place Sunday and Toyota needs to “figure that out and how we can be better.”

Only one loser? What about those Roush boys?

If you finish midpack, you don’t quite qualify as one of the first-round losers, yet you didn’t do yourself any favors. Carl Edwards finished 20th at Chicagoland and teammate (for a while longer) Greg Biffle finished 23rd.

But frankly, no one we know had either on the short list of Chase favorites.

THE REAL DEAL Jeff Gordon, 43, sees a little of his young self in 22-year-old Kyle Larson. They raced side by side for second-place honors Sunday. Gordon nabbed the position, and the two had a chat after the race.

“I think this kid is the real deal,” Gordon said. The “Wonder Boy” torch has been passed.

What about that other Roush racer?

Oh yeah, finally a headline for Ricky Stenhouse, who, a couple of years ago, was seemingly destined for NASCAR stardom. Well, he got the stardom, but not yet for the right reasons. And this past Sunday, he only got noticed because he collided with Ol’ What’s Her Name, and for the record, they blamed a spotter. It’s still early enough in the relationship that any issues can be blamed on a third party.

Guess who’s on the board with a pass to the Chase’s next round?

RICKY STENHOUSE JR.

DANICA PATRICK

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. vs. Danica Patrick: Patrick’s No. 10 Chevy moved up into the No. 17 Ford wheeled by boyfriend Stenhouse, causing both to wreck late in the race.

Godwin Kelly gives his take: “Patrick said her spotter, Brandon Benesch, took the blame for not telling her Stenhouse’s position. These drivers can kiss and make up.”

CHICAGO REWIND

Marcos Ambrose says ‘G’Day mate’ to head back to Australia Marcos Ambrose, who some call the “Thunder from Down Under,” will leave Richard Petty Motorsports and the No. 9 Ford at the end of the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series season. He plans to race in his native Australia next year in a car that will carry the Team Penske banner.

He spoke with the media about his decision to return home.

What went into this decision?

“There has been a lot of conjecture through the years, but I just want to get my kids home to enjoy the Australian lifestyle as well so they can

make a good choice when they grow up. This is really a racing choice for me, and I feel like the time is right for me to stop in the U.S., and personally I think it is a great time to move back home to Australia with my family.”

How would you characterize your NASCAR career?

“It has been fantastic. I never thought I would achieve what I have at the Sprint Cup level. I have survived here for years, and I have had some wins, but not enough, and I feel like I was up against it early on from my background.

I came from a country that doesn’t have any asphalt oval racing at all, and so I feel like I have achieved a lot and am really satisfied.”

Do you see yourself coming back to drive road races?

“I haven’t really thought about that. This decision was made some time ago, and RPM felt like (this) was a good day to announce it, but I had spoken to RPM about this before the summer.”

What’s been the reaction from the team?

“They understand and have been very open and frank with each other all the way through,

and RPM has been a great team to drive for and fully understand my situation and have worked together on this. I feel like I’ve left them better than when I entered. I feel I’ve contributed to the turnaround.

“When I first joined them in the turmoil of the Gillette changeover, there were a lot of gray clouds circling around them. They are on a great path, and I wish them the best. I value Richard’s friendship greatly and the family and everybody here at RPM. They are a great company, and I wish them the most success.”

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Ovarian Cancer Awareness Dear Annie: September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month as proclaimed by the U.S. Senate and President Obama, whose mother battled the disease. Ovarian cancer is the most deadly of all gynecologic cancers, affecting one in 72 women. It is lethal and insidious -- hard to detect, difficult to treat and with no reliable screening test. A Pap test does not detect ovarian cancer. Women without ovaries can develop the disease. Seventy percent of women die within five years of being diagnosed. However, if detected in its early stages, there is a 92 percent chance of a full recovery.

Ovarian cancer does have symptoms. The NormaLeah Ovarian Cancer Foundation utilizes the easy-to-remember BEAT acronym: Bloating, Eating less while feeling fuller, Abdominal and/or back pain, Trouble with your bladder and bowels.

Our foundation honors the memory of two sisters whose lives were cut short by the disease: Norma Yecies Shagrin and Leah Yecies Hantman. Norma, my mother, carried the BRCA gene mutation, which I inherited from her. The BRCA mutation is responsible for up to 10 percent of all incidences of breast and ovarian cancer. It is also closely linked to other cancers, including colon, uterine, endometrial, pancreatic, prostate and rectal cancer. Women with a close family member who has battled one of these cancers is at a higher risk, and we urge them to request the CA-125 and HE4 blood test, as well as a transvaginal ultrasound (TVU).

Our mission is to create public awareness, promote early detection and support research for ovarian cancer. Until reliable screening tests and better treatment methods are developed, women must be educated and empowered to be vigilant selfadvocates for their own health. I invite your readers to visit our website at www.normaleahfoundation.org to learn more about the disease and how they can win the battle against it. -- Jodie Shagrin Kavensky, Founder/Executive Director, NormaLeah Ovarian Cancer Foundation, Rock Island, Ill. Dear Jodie Shagrin Kavensky: Thank you for giving us the opportunity to heighten awareness of this disease. We hope the women in our reading audience, and the men who love them, will check out your website.

Dear Annie: I disagree with your response to “Disgusted,” whose friends loudly blow their noses at the dinner table. I suffer from allergies, and if I went to the powder room every time I had to blow my nose, I may as well take my dinner with me. I can’t just blow it once. Nor can I take medication for it, as it interferes with my other medication. I have a friend with dementia, and it causes him to drool. I would never think of excluding him from my dinner table. Luckily, I have friends and family who love me and understand my disability. -Disappointed Dear Disappointed: We’re glad your friends and family understand. Here’s more on the subject: From B.: I totally agree that it is uncouth to do this, but why make the comment that “these people are well educated with good jobs”? If they were poorly educated and unemployed, would that excuse such behavior? An individual should be respectful and considerate of his fellow man and woman. I know plenty of people who are well behaved with good manners, but do not have a terrific education or decent employment.

Ithaca, N.Y.: I have a better one -- noses that drip in the soup.

Some people have a conditioned response to food, and their noses run. Of course, the owners of the noses should beg pardon and at least turn their heads away when they blow. And they might consider that some people at a table may have a conditioned reflex of stomach-turning when a nose is blown.

HINTS FROM HELOISE TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: Several family members take a yearly trip to the beach. We always rent a house that we all share. The first year we did this, we all ended up bringing too much food.

Now we started dividing the meals. One of us will bring everything we need for breakfasts.

Another, everything needed for lunch, and the other brings food used for dinner. Then we all bring whatever snacks and drinks we want.

We rotate the “meals” yearly so it evens out financially. This makes the trip much easier -- no food or money is wasted, and we usually have everything and don’t have to make an expensive trip to the store. -- J. and L. in North Carolina SAVE MONEY GOLFING Dear Heloise: My husband and I are avid golfers. They often have staff driving around the course selling drinks and snacks.

We were spending a lot of money buying these, without even thinking about it. Now, we take the individual-size powdered drink packages, and I put some small snacks in a zip bag. -Vincent and Ginny in Texas A very good way to save money! It’s amazing how those little things add up. Keep track for one week, and you will be shocked how much you spend on a soft drink here, a muffin there or a quick candy bar! -- Heloise

If you are attached, the two of you need to be able to tune in to each other’s moods and feelings. Your sweetie understands your sense of vulnerability. You both need to plan on special time together as a couple. LEO makes an excellent healer for you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You will be in the right mood for some fun. Letting off steam in your quirky way tends to make you and those around you feel good. A loved one might feel a little depressed. Only this person can change his or her mood. Tonight: Let out your inner wild child.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might feel as if a loved one has rained on your parade. On the other hand, you are likely to gain some insight into why this person’s behavior bothers you. Try to root out the issue. Perhaps you feel threatened or uncomfortable.

Tonight: At home, making a favorite meal.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Be ready to express your feelings with several different people. A friend or loved one might need to be told how much he or she is cared about. On some level, you could be tired of always having to assure others. Don’t make it a big deal. Tonight: Favorite spot, favorite people.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Be aware of how much you have to offer, and refuse to be intimidated by a difficult person or situation.

Do not put yourself down, as you are quite adored. A child or loved one could be ornery. Know what you want from a domestic situation. Tonight: Your treat.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You seem to radiate energy and excitement. Happiness is contagious. Demonstrate your compassion for someone in a way that means something to him or her. A domestic matter could be weighing you down. Let it go!

Tonight: Let the good times rock and roll.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You might want to see what is going on behind the scenes with a child or loved one. This person might be more on the fritz than you realize. Add a little excitement and nurturing to the moment, and you will witness a quick change.

Tonight: Vanish while you can.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You know what you want, and you’ll be willing to verbalize exactly what you desire. How you approach a loved one could be much different than usual, as he or she could feel out of sorts.

Unexpected behavior could throw a boomerang into your day. Tonight: Your choice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You will be much happier if you simply relax and do what you want to do. Refuse to hold back or get tense in various situations. Learn how to say “no” in a caring way, and others will respond in kind. Check out a new gym or exercise program. Tonight: Others notice you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You can’t disappear, even if you try to. You are a prominent part of someone’s life, and this person counts on you. Whether it is the child within you he or she adores or the person you are now makes very little difference.

Tonight: Try a new type of cuisine.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Getting back to the basics counts. You can’t escape how important it is to you to have a stable home life.

Try to factor in more excitement to your routine, as that will be much better than the same old, same old. Tonight: Let a close loved one know how you are feeling.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Defer to someone else. You might decide to veer in a different direction at the last moment. You will get quite a reaction! Unpredictability seems to be your middle name. A parent could be very difficult to listen to, but try anyway. Tonight: Go where you want to be.

HHH Your perceptions might not be correct. You could be missing out on an important detail or two. Understand that sometimes you can’t seem to see the big picture. You are likely to pull the wild card financially. Anything seems possible at the moment. Tonight: Pace yourself.

THE WESTFIELD NEWS

Revis a success in New England

By MATT CARROLL Associated Press FOXBOROUGH (AP) — Darrelle Revis didn’t divulge much when asked about his preference for facing a rookie quarterback.

New England’s shutdown cornerback officially is a Patriot.

“I can’t give you all of that,” the five-time Pro Bowler said with a laugh when questioned about potentially baiting Oakland rookie Derek Carr into a mistake or two Sunday when the Patriots (1-1) host the Raiders (0-2).

Chances are, though, Revis will do just that.

The eight-year veteran was acquired during the offseason to bolster a mediocre defense and already is making a major impact through just two weeks.

New England’s defense ranks near the top of the NFL in most major passing categories, leading the league in interceptions (five) and opponent’s completion percentage (54.4), while standing fourth in yards per game (166) and first downs (19) allowed.

Revis hauled in his first interception in a win over Minnesota last week, a pivotal play early in the second quarter that sparked New England to a 30-7 victory.

But it’s not only his on-field play that is providing a positive presence for the Patriots.

“He’s a great player, not just technique and what he knows about the opponent, but the knowledge of the overall game,” said safety and captain Devin McCourty. “I think he’s been able to be a leader for the corners, a guy to watch, and when you’re watching him, they understand he’s doing it the right way.

“Play in, play out, every down, he’s out there and he has great fundamentals, and I think that’s helped the team out a lot just being a role model and a leader for that group.”

Logan Ryan can attest to that. The secondyear cornerback may be positioned opposite Revis on the field, but sits alongside him in the locker room. Ryan cited Revis’ desire to win every route as a foundation for his success.

“A five-time Pro Bowler and to still come out on a new team and feel like he has a lot to prove, a lot to learn, I think that carries over to everybody,” Ryan said.

Revis spent most of the season opener shadowing Miami speedster Mike Wallace, who ended up getting the better of Revis: seven catches for 81 yards and the tying touchdown that helped the Dolphins to a stunning win New England Patriots cornerbacks Darrelle Revis (24) and Alfonzo Dennard (37) walk during a stretching session before practice begins at the NFL football team’s facility Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2014 in Foxborough, Mass.

over the Patriots.

Seven days later, Minnesota receiver Greg Jennings was stranded on Revis Island. The nine-year veteran caught just one pass for 4 yards on four targets.

“That’s what they say when you go on the island,” McCourty said with a smile. “That’s what they say — not much happens over on the island.”

Now it’s Carr’s turn to test Revis, who likely will be matched up against James Jones.

In his first season in Oakland after spending seven in Green Bay, Jones broke out in a loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday, catching nine passes for 112 yards and a touchdown.

Revis is well aware of Jones’ playmaking ability. It’s Carr he doesn’t know much about.

He doesn’t seem to care, either.

“My main objective is just watching my guy,” Revis said. “Doing my job and watching my guy.”

So far, his job has made everybody’s else’s just a little bit easier.

“The first two weeks, we’ve been covering guys really good,” McCourty said. “I think as a safety, you understand that and you know what you can do. The two guys at corner are locking their guys up and you can play free and just read the quarterback and know you’ll be all right.”
