The commercial truck facility will be located behind the Friendly’s Restaurant and given the designation as 33-39 Southampton Road. That site will primarily provide diesel fuel for commercial trucks, but will also have a compressed natural gas (CNG) pumping station which will be operated in conjunction with the Westfield Gas & Electric (WG&E) Department pending a public-private partnership agreement.

By CARL E. HARTDEGEN Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Two teenaged girls said they were “terrified” Tuesday evening when they were followed by a man who, unbeknownst to them, had been arrested for charges including open and gross lewdness the day before.

Det. Brian Freeman reports that he had observed Eddie Camacho, 27, of 129 N. Elm St., “traveling strange routes and interacting with teenagers as they passed him” in the downtown area.

Camacho was of particular interest to Freeman because he had been arrested Monday in a EDDIE North Elm Street restaurant CAMACHO after he had allegedly exposed himself to customers and staff.

In that incident, officers Patrick Shea, Douglas Lavalley and Kerry Paton had responded to a complaint of indecent exposure.

Lavalley reports that when the officers arrived an employee pointed out Camacho and said that he had exposed his genitalia to her

Planning Board continues Pride project public hearing

By DAN MORIARTY Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Planning Board took more than two hours of testimony Tuesday night at the public hearing on the Pride Limited Partnership proposed project on Southampton Road directly across from Exit 3 of the Massachusetts Turnpike.

The Planning Board voted to keep the public hearing open for further comment at its May 5 session.

Robert L. Bolduc, the founder of Pride and engineering consultant John Furman of Springfield office of VHB, presented detail

of the complicated project which involves two separate property parcels, one for commercial vehicles and the other for privatelyowned vehicles (POVs). Both parcels have frontage on Owen District Road and Friendly Way. “We will bring jobs and tax revenue to the city and it will be a very good looking retail and commercial area,” Bolduc said. “We just need to get it started because there is a very large restaurant chain interested in coming to one of the Southampton Road pads, bring casual dining with a liquor license. The other pad, the one next to Friendly’s will be a QSR

Get ready to rally – Tractor Rally, that is!

By HOPE E. TREMBLAY Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – The Southwick Agricultural Commission is hosting a good ‘ol fashioned Tractor Rally this weekend to celebrate spring, agriculture, and the town’s farming history.

Agricultural Commission Chairperson Jocelyn Linnekin said the Commission was on sabbatical for several years but now has a full contingent of members who are active in the community.

“We wanted to have a public event to promote agriculture in the community and call attention to the fact that the Agricultural Commission is back,” said Linnekin.

The event is set for 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the Westfield River Brewing Co., 707 College Highway, on Saturday.

The Tractor Rally will be similar to a car show, but with tractors.

Linnekin said she has always had an appreciation for tractors.

“I’m fascinated with farming tractors,” she said. “I have no

mechanical aptitude for them, but I think they’re pretty.”

Linnekin did not grow up on a farm but she considers herself an “outdoorsy gal” and enjoys hiking, horseback riding and gardening. Her affinity for farms grew when she moved to Southwick in late 2006 and purchased an old farm.

“I don’t farm, but I have chicken, sheep and horses,” she said.

Linnekin enjoys exploring the old barn on her property, which came with some treasures in the form of old tools, including handforged iron tools.

“There’s nothing like good old American iron,” she said.

Since she’s not a farmer, Linnekin said figuring out what the antique tools were used for was a challenge and she has been able to use many of the tools with her livestock. She is using some of her own tool collection, as well as items borrowed from the See Tractor Rally, Page 3

The Southwick Agricultural Commission, with support from the Southwick Cultural Council, will host a Tractor Rally Saturday at the Westfield River Brewing Co.

Massachusetts police receiving calls from Australia NORTHBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts police department has been receiving some curious calls from people with Australian accents.

Police dispatchers in Northbridge say they have recently received several calls on their business line from people in an Australian community with the same name.

Northbridge, Massachusetts, is about 35 southwest of Boston. Northbridge, Australia, is a suburb of Perth.

Lisa Gaylord, who’s been a dispatcher for 16 years, tells The Telegram & Gazette (http://bit.ly/1EbtaBj ) she got her first call from Australia in March. She thinks people there are probably searching online for “Northbridge police” and calling the first number that pops up.

One disgruntled Australian said the call would “cost a fortune,” and hung up.

Australian callers have also told Gaylord about a fight and to report a missing person.

Pride Project Bolduc said that CNG is the “fuel of the future” because it costs half of the price of diesel fuel and because CNG is 14 times cleaner than diesel.

“CNG burns 14 times cleaner and is safer if there is an accident because it is lighter than air and will dissipate quickly,” Bolduc said. “It is considered to be the fuel of the future by the EPA (federal Environmental Protection Agency).”

The commercial fueling station is designed to fill the saddle tanks of truck from both sides of the vehicle.

“The fueling bays are only wide enough for one truck at a time,” Bolduc said. “The truck operator will use a credit card on the master pump to being the initial fueling at the driver’s side tank, then walk around the vehicle to begin fueling (the passenger side tank) from a slave pump connected to the master pump.”

The entry and exit into the commercial fueling station would both be on Owen District Road.

The passenger car fueling station across Friendly Way from the commercial facility also will have an alternative fueling station proposed in conjunction with the WG&E Department, Bolduc said. The plan is to [put a recharging station at the front of the pas-

The passenger vehicle fueling facility would have to one-way entrances, one form Owen District Road (the jug handle) and the other From Friendly Way. There would be a second entrance and exit onto Owen District Road and a second entrance and exit, with a right turn only onto Friendly Way near the intersection with Owen District Road.

“The partnership between Pride and the WG&E will be the first and only alternative fueling station along the (Massachusetts) Turnpike with both CNG and an electric vehicle recharging facility,” Bolduc said.

One resident asked how the Pride project is being coordinated with the improvements to North Elm and Notre Dame Street and programmed improvements to Southampton Road at the turnpike exchange.

Furman said the project has several infrastructure components out of the scope of the Pride plan, including turning and traffic management improvements to Exchange 3 of the Turnpike and will be done either by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation or by the city.

Furman said that much of the road work will be triggered by the Mass Turnpike

transition to electronic tolls, replacing the toll booth system with Fast Lane technology and cameras to record registration plates of vehicles, without Fast Lane transponders, entering and leaving the turnpike.

“The scheduled improvements have been held off because the final design will be coordinated with removal of the toll booths by the DOT in July of 2016,” Furman said. “The intent is to have that (electronic) system in place. There has to be construction.”

The plan is to add the dedicated right-turn lane between the turnpike exit and Arch Road to eliminate truck traffic entering the southbound lanes of Southampton Road (Routes 10 & 202), installation of a dedicated right turn lane in the northbound lane of Southampton Road onto Friendly Way, and the addition of two lanes one Friendly Way, one would be a dedicated right turn onto Southampton Road and an additional eastbound lane from Southampton Road on Friendly way.

Residents questioned the impact on traffic of the turning movements and the additional traffic which would be generated by both fueling facilities, impacts that will affect traffic patterns as far as

Springdale Road and Holyoke Road.

Ward 6 City Councilor Christopher Crean asked the Planning Board to establish a “strict timeline” for construction “because you know if that is not in the permit, it will not happen.” Crean also requested that the board consider imposing a performance bond on Pride “to hold the developer to a strict timeline.”

The board continued the hearing to its May 5 meeting to allow residents supporting or opposing the project to make statements.

Bill Lawry of Western Avenue jumped to that section of comment, asking the board to support the project because of the economic benefits to the city and state.

“I’m asking you to support this for economic reasons.

The city will see an increase in business and the state will see an increase in fuel tax revenue,” Lawry said. “All of the truckers coming into Westfield now just want to get out because there’s nothing for them here. They fuel in New York. We lose all of that fuel revenue.”

“It’s a beautiful example of a New England barn,” said Linnekin. “And they have done a beautiful job restoring and repurposing it – and we love that they’re growing hops in the back.

They are still growing there, which is a great example of modern farming.”

GOP infighting threatens NSA bill

By ALEX BYERS and KATE TUMMARELLO Politico.com Republicans are in a state of disarray on surveillance reform, with Congress barreling toward a May 31 deadline to extend or curtail some of the NSA’s key powers.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr want to reauthorize the bulk collection of phone records — the most controversial program revealed by Edward Snowden’s leaks. Presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Rand Paul want to effectively end it, as do many House Republicans. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, who will be a key player in any legislation, hasn’t decided what to do.

The split highlights the persistent divisions between libertarianleaning Republicans who see NSA spying as a threat to Americans’ privacy and GOP national security hawks who don’t want to tamper with the U.S. intelligence apparatus. Even with the ticking clock — which many lawmakers hoped would force a decision after a similar effort failed last year — GOP members are far apart on the issue.

“Do I think there’s a possibility of continuing existing law? No,” Grassley said. “I’m interested in trying to find out where individual members are coming from.”

Burr’s retort: “You never know till we try.”

It’s the second congressional effort to reform surveillance practices since Snowden’s leaks revealed the vast nature of the NSA’s operations. But if lawmakers don’t do anything this time, key parts of the Patriot Act will expire, including the provision the government has used to justify bulk data collection. Tech companies rattled by the disclosures about NSA surveillance via their Internet services have been pushing for changes and want more flexibility to disclose the government orders they receive.

In the Senate, where many Republicans fear changes that could weaken the nation’s defenses against terrorism, McConnell and Burr introduced a bill late Tuesday to extend the life of the Patriot Act provisions without reforming surveillance practices. McConnell started the process of putting the bill directly on the Senate calendar, but a Senate leadership aide said the measure won’t be taken up this week.

Over in the House, a bipartisan group of lawmakers that includes Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) had been expected to release a bill by Wednesday that would block most bulk data collection and include transparency and other reforms. But continuing negotiations with members of the House Intelligence Committee, including Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), have delayed the introduction.

Grassley has been tracking the House and Senate negotiations but is lukewarm to current reform proposals and is not expected to do a Senate companion to the House bill. But the fact that he sees a straight-up reauthorization of the Patriot Act provisions as impossible may end up forcing Senate Republicans to make difficult decisions on how to balance privacy and security.

One option for reform could come from Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.). The former Judiciary chairman introduced a bill last year that won a few Republican votes but ultimately failed in the upper chamber. Leahy is likely to reintroduce a similar measure this year, and reform advocates hope GOP members — faced with the prospect of sunsetting NSA authorities — will be forced to accept some changes.

“Time in this case is probably a friend,” said Sen. Dean Heller (Nev.), one of four Republican senators to vote for surveillance reform last year.

But the optimism isn’t contagious. Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), who’s been working with Leahy on a bill, had little to say when asked if the effort would have a better shot this year.

“I’d like to see some reforms,” he said. “It’s too early to predict what’s gonna be the outcome.”

The debate could also reverberate through the 2016 presidential campaign, particularly among Republican candidates. Paul (R-Ky.) and Cruz (R-Texas) are surveillance reform advocates, while Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is a national security hawk. While Cruz was a co-sponsor of Leahy’s USA Freedom Act reform bill last year, Paul voted against bringing it to the floor, citing his aversion to reauthorizing the Patriot Act — angering some civil libertarians.

Reflecting on the past weeks since joining the Citizen’s Police Academy there are many things to consider.

There was no question that the people that came to speak to each of us who attended the nightly classes were nothing but passionate about their job.

From the range of guests, whether they may work with children or domestic abuse victims or are officers on the Westfield police force, it was clear that many issues pointed out faults with the system.

The biggest issue seemed to be communication. Each department seemed to have difficulty with either communicating how each part of the system worked to civilians or being able to work with the limited resources the state has to fund them.

Breaking down the law was difficult and from the first night of class it was clear that the law was not always clear, which is of course the role and responsibility of the judicial system. However, this is not something that many people in communities see as effec-

tive.

We see this all the time in the news with plea bargains, settlements, indictments (or lack thereof) and many people who are guilty of crimes who walk free and sometimes the not guilty become imprisoned. These are only some of the flaws.

When police officers patrol areas they are deployed across the city where crime is shown to be a reoccurrence, and where differentiating people who are potential suspects comes close to profiling.

“It’s difficult to separate” said Sergeant Erik Hall of the Westfield Police Department.

This can be difficult for people who are living in poorer sections of town, college districts, or whose first language is not English. These people are often seen as “the others” in the community and live in areas where some may seek alternative and informal ways of getting by that may lead them to trouble with the law.

“Ninety percent of the time we are working with 10 percent of the community,” Hall

said. “Community policing allows us to work with that other 90 percent.”

Hall said that instead of surveillancing the community, community policing allows him to eat lunch with students and familiarize them with police officers as acting as a safety net and not somebody to fear. It allows him to host the Citizen Police Academy, and to patrol sections of the city by bike, which many would agree is less intimidating then a cruiser, and build a bond with the community.

Officers are placed into the schools to prevent issues with the law and preventing students from entering “the system” at a young age.

Sometimes this is met with resistance because for many schools are synonymous with jail, and when officers are placed into the schools, it can enhance that feeling of the prison-industrial complex.

These ideas of community policing are great initiatives to end the gap of miscommunication throughout the city.

However, I look around the classroom and I wonder if

ERIKA HAYDEN many of these people are the ones that the message needs to be relayed to, white middle-class folk who have never encountered issues with the law.

I think the class had great benefits but I wish the word could be spread to more people. I believe that touching base on the law, schools, domestic abuse, and community policing are the beginning of the conversation with city residents.

I believe that the greater the communication the less crime there will be because there will be a greater trust and respect for your neighbor.

Democrats’ trade spat becomes a full-on brawl Warren fires back at Obama, O’Malley takes a shot at Clinton as Hill Dems bicker

By NICK GASS Politico.com Democrats have taken the gloves off in their own trade war. In Washington and on the campaign trail, the public sniping over whether Congress should give the White House power to clinch the biggest free-trade deal in history has reached new heights.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Wednesday escalated her war of words with President Barack Obama, saying in a blog post that he’s the one who is wrong on trade.

Later Wednesday, the Senate Finance Committee voted to give Obama “fast track” trade promotion authority, setting the stage for a vote on the Senate floor.

The Massachusetts Democrat said it’s unfair for the White House to show corporations the contents of a Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, but ask Congress to sign off on it, sight unseen.

“When giant corporations get to see the details and the American people don’t, we all lose. Let’s level the playing field: No vote on fast-tracking trade until the public can read the TPP deal,” Warren wrote in a post titled “You can’t read this” on her campaign website.

The attack came after Obama on Tuesday said that he loves Warren, “but she’s wrong on this.”

Warren reiterated her points Wednesday evening, telling MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow that she was dubious of the deal because it was being engineered largely by corporate executives and lobbyists. She called it “Basic Democracy 101” in analyzing its flaws.

“My view is: When the process is rigged, then the outcome is likely to be rigged,” Warren told Maddow, adding later: “I just think it’s time to say no.”

Warren’s verbal assault is part of the simmering fight between Obama and his fellow Democrats over a 12-country trade pact that would cover more than 40 percent of global GDP. A number of progressive Democrats fear the deal could undercut U.S. wages and ship jobs overseas.

The fight has also ensnared Hillary Clinton. She is in an awkward position — she has ties to the TPP deal, dating to her time as secretary of state, and she risks having to attack her former boss. But she also risks alienating the left wing of her party.

For the time being, Clinton has threaded the needle, laying out conditions for what she would deem a successful trade deal, but not commenting directly on what is before Congress.

Sensing Clinton’s vulnerability, fellow Democratic presidential hopeful Martin O’Malley has gone on the attack against the front-runner.

“American workers whose jobs could be on the line right now are owed more than lip service. They deserve to know where leaders stand,” O’Malley said in an email sent Wednesday to supporters.

O’Malley also took to Twitter. Shortly after Clinton spoke in Concord, N.H., on Tuesday, he tweeted a short video titled “Bad Trade Deals” and wrote, “When US jobs are on the line, it’s not a hard choice – it’s common sense.”

And it’s not just the relatively thin Democratic presidential field attacking Clinton. Republican Jeb Bush on Wednesday accused her of a “politically motivated flip-flop” in a Medium post.

He zeroed in on one of the more specific elements of her todate vague statements — that currency manipulation should be considered in the deal. The White House is opposed to including currency rules, for fear it could cause other countries to balk.

“These new reservations are conveniently timed. Sec. Clinton wavered on support for trade the last time she ran for President as well,” Bush said in his post. “It sends a terrible signal this late in the negotiations for Sec. Clinton to pull the rug out from under our allies for a short-term political gain.”

Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is considering his own presidential bid, last week issued a statement calling on all the candidates — but singling out Clinton — to oppose the “jobkilling” trade deal.

The stakes are high around the still-forming trade pact, with Obama wanting to secure a major free trade deal as part of his legacy.

Trade promotion authority legislation would give the president the power to complete trade deals with only up-or-down votes from Congress. It is seen as integral to both reaching a bilateral agreement with Japan, the linchpin of the TPP. But an indication that the fast-track bill doesn’t have enough votes could deal a blow to the negotiations.

With the lofty ambitions have come low blows.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, talking to reporters this week, said about Obama’s proposal: “I’m not only no. I’m hell no.”

According to an AP report, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, who is expected to replace Reid when he retires, said on Tuesday, “I’m disappointed in the efforts by President Obama.”

Obama is not backing down. On Thursday, he plans to make a pitch to his own political arm, Organizing for Action, on the need for this trade deal.

“The president will say to his loyal supporters that this staple of his campaign stump speech is the reason that he’s pursuing the kind of trade deal that will open up new opportunities for the next generation of middle class workers,” a White House official said Wednesday, previewing the speech.

It’s not clear to what extent Obama will use the speech to push for the audience to urge their members of Congress to back him.

AGAWAM, Mass. (AP) — Police are investigating an armed robbery at a western Massachusetts drugstore.

Agawam police say a man armed with a handgun jumped the pharmacy counter at a Walgreens store at about 7 p.m. Wednesday, forced a worker to open a safe, and stole about 30 bottles of OxyContin, a narcotic pain reliever.

Employees say the suspect was a white or Hispanic male wearing a ski mask and hooded sweatshirt. Police are reviewing surveillance footage to try to identify the suspect, who may have fled in a red SUV. No one was injured.

Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying the suspect.

Breathalyzer tests suspended in some Massachusetts counties BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts officials say prosecutors in Middlesex and Essex counties and on the Cape and Islands have suspended the use of breathalyzer tests until state police can effectively review whether it’s reliable.

Concerns about the test have led defense attorneys and prosecutors to sift through old cases and look for evidence of questionable breathalyzer results.

Officials learned of concerns last month.

Executive Office of Public Safety and Security spokesman Felix Browne says he can’t confirm how many cases might be affected by the ongoing review.

It’s unclear how the state first became aware of the issue or the exact problem it has with the tests, which are used in drunken driving cases. Browne says officials have not yet determined that there even is a problem.

Mak’hela concludes season with ‘Songs of Heaven and Earth’ AMHERST — Mak’hela, the Jewish Chorus of Western Massachusetts, will conclude its 2014-15 season with “Songs of Heaven and Earth” on Sunday, May 31, 2015, at 2:00pm at the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst.

The program will feature a diverse selection of Jewish choral music, including the third movement of Ernest Bloch’s Sacred Service (Avodath Hakodesh). A 20th century Swiss-born American composer, Bloch wrote the Sacred Service as a liturgical work to be performed in the synagogue. The third movement, which Mak’hela will perform accompanied by a small orchestra, begins with the Silent Devotion and

Response, and concludes with the prayers that the congregation recites when the Torah is removed from the ark.

“In writing the Sacred Service, Bloch was inspired by his own Jewish reawakening, and his feelings of spiritual revelation and awe are perhaps most powerfully conveyed in the third movement, with its imagery of the opening of the gates of heaven,” explained Mak’hela Music Director Dr. Elaine “Lainee” Broad Ginsberg.

“The excerpts from Bloch’s Sacred

Service, as part of a program that spans several centuries of Jewish choral music, thus provide a poignant conclusion to Mak’hela’s 2014-15 season.”

In addition to the excerpts from Bloch’s Sacred Service, the concert program will include Eftakh Na Sefatay, a liturgical work by the 17th century Jewish-Italian composer Salamone Rossi (arranged by Joshua Jacobson); Adon Haselikhot, a traditional Sephardic hymn (also arranged by Jacobson); Oori, a new composition by

The 40-voice chorus performs in many New England venues and includes members from all over the Pioneer Valley and beyond. With songs in Hebrew, English, Yiddish, Ladino, and other languages, Mak’hela seeks to build bridges of respect and understanding through the universal language of music. The chorus is led by

Music Director Dr. Elaine Broad Ginsberg and accompanied by Jamie Goodnow.

Southwick’s Lachtara tosses no-hitter

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer PALMER – For an average high school softball team, blustery conditions may have been cause for alarm. But the Southwick Rams are unflappable, and their ace on the mound is a bit better than average.

Southwick sophomore pitcher Emily Lachtara tossed a nohitter, recording an impressive 15 strikeouts through seven complete frames in a 7-0 shutout of host Palmer Wednesday.

She walked one.

Hits were at a premium in Wednesday’s contest, but the ones Southwick could manage proved to be the difference.

Jenn Yelin belted a home run for Southwick, knocking in 2 base runners. Rams’ Sophia Kelleher walked three times and scored two runs.

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.

Bombers grounded; Tigers roar

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – Amherst’s Ethan Young and Myles Olmsted each went 3-for-4, and Nathan Masteralexis (4 Ks) proved effective on the mound, limiting Westfield’s scoring chances in a baseball game Wednesday at Bullens Field. The Bombers fell 5-3.

Colin Dunn and Sean Murphy went 2-for-3 to lead Westfield (2-3). Chris Sullivan and Austin St. Pierre each had a hit.

Tigers top Franklin Westfield Voc-Tech 10, Franklin Tech 7 Westfield Voc-Tech collected 12 hits, sev-

eral of them with players in scoring position, and the Tigers halted a Franklin comeback.

Nick Clegg pitched the first five innings, and helped himself at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a double and 2 RBIs. Jake Parsons closed out the final two innings for Voc-Tech.

Tigers’ Chris Boyden had a two-hit day and Nate Boulay belted a two-run triple.

Franklin Tech’s near-rally was helped by a three-walk, two-error fourth inning.

“We definitely made our share of mistakes today,” Westfield Voc-Tech coach Kyle Dulude said. “We didn’t play at the level we want to but understand we are learning as a team and that is what will make us better.”

Annie’s Mailbox

By KATHY MITCHELL and MARCY SUGAR

Sad Mom

Dear Annie: Last week, our son came home from high school and told us that a boy at his school had killed himself.

The boy had been a friend of his since the fifth grade.

The school had a moment of silence over the public address system, but never mentioned the boy’s name. Most of the details about the suicide are nonexistent, although there are a few things mentioned on a website asking for help paying for funeral costs. Students who didn’t know the suicide victim are guessing it was caused by bullying. Our son says that’s not true. Some students are even saying the fund requests are a scam.

We haven’t heard anything about whether the school is offering grief counseling. We’ve talked to our son about the tragedy and are trying our best to help him. Because the students have no information, they are making wild guesses and placing uninformed posts on social media. My question is why is this tragedy so secret? Should the school do more? -Sad Mom Dear Sad: Sometimes, the school is ill-equipped to deal with such tragedies and does nothing, which tends to create a whirlwind of misinformation. Also, the administration may fear that mentioning the details would create copycat suicides.

But the details do not need airing. The acknowledgement of mourning, however, is important.

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (afsp.org) offers a Toolkit for Schools, and you should mention this to the administration. The foundation is also an excellent resource for anyone dealing with suicide, and you will find information there that will help you talk to your son about his friend.

Dear Annie: I would like to thank “B” for bringing attention to the telephone scammers who have been plaguing America.

I also would like to bring to your readers’ attention to a scam perpetrated by people claiming to be from the IRS. I have received three calls from these people. The “official” recorded message is totally bogus. The caller threatened me with arrest for ignoring the calls. They instructed me to call a 202 area code, but it’s a private Washington, D.C., number, not the IRS. I have worked for a federal agency and know how things work. Please be aware of the following: 1. The IRS does not initiate contact by telephone. They use certified mail.

2. Legitimate government agencies have an 800 number.

3. The IRS will not arrest anyone over the phone. If an arrest is required, it will be after lengthy legal processes have been exhausted. You’ll know about it. Police agencies need a bona fide warrant to arrest people.

4. If you receive such a call, report it to the IRS at IRS@tigta. gov. Also notify your local police. -- Knows Better Dear Knows: Thank you for your expert advice. Calls pretending to be from the IRS can be particularly frightening for people who are so eager to cooperate that they give out personal financial information over the phone. Please, folks, be careful.

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

HINTS FROM HELOISE DO TREAD ON THESE Dear Heloise: When getting out of a bubble bath, I use my grab bar, which is slippery. I solved the problem with “BATH TREADS,” usually used on the bottom of the tub. I put some of them on the bar.

They may be in the form of fish, waves, shells, etc.

I also use them on an aluminum threetiered shoe rack. Shoes with no heels might slip off. I apply the treads to the elevated tier on each row, and no more problems! With utmost regard for your ingenuity and all-around persona! -- Linda M., Kerrville, Texas Linda, you’re ingenious! I try to remind readers that most items can have “another use,” so put on your Heloise Hat. Think before you trash something. Here are a few unconventional hints for the no-slip bath appliques: * Put on a sliding glass door at eye (or dog) level as a visual cue to not walk through. * Apply to the seat on a highchair to help prevent slipping. * Put on the seat of a swing on a playground. * Attach to the ladder in a pool to keep feet from slipping.

-- Heloise EASY CLEAN Dear Heloise: For cleaning the baseboards and places I can’t reach without a stool, I buy a small mop and lightly dampen it and dust the baseboards, usually monthly. This saves me from having to do lots of cleaning each season. -- A.R. in Texas EYES HAVE IT Dear Heloise: Why do girls want to cover their eyes with their hair? Even if it is the style, I told my granddaughter to never cover her eyes. She has brown sparkling eyes, and they shine when she talks to you. -- A Grandma in Canfield, Ohio When it’s in style, girls usually want to fit in. I’m sure they wonder why some “older” hairstyles were ever in fashion! Can we say BEEHIVE? -- Heloise

HOROSCOPE

By Jaqueline Bigar

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, April 23, 2015: This year you will communicate more effectively. Your instincts and perspective take you to a different level from those around you. You will have to filter what you say to some friends and loved ones. If you are single, you could meet an exotic person in the second half of your birthday year. This person manifests the same type of vision you have, but his or her perspective is different. If you are attached, you could find your significant other becoming more distant than in the past. Recognize that you might need to learn to speak to each other differently. CANCER can change his or her mind quickly.

ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie

ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett

ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You understand an expenditure surrounding your home and/or family.

However, another person who is involved might not. Clearly, you are alone in this choice. Follow your intuition on how to proceed, and let go of your vision. Tonight: Awkwardness will disappear.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Your words have an impact; trust that others will react accordingly. A partner might seem distant, perhaps in response to what you are saying. Is getting your way more important than having an easy interaction? Find some middle ground. Tonight: A close friend cops an attitude.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Be aware of what is occurring between you and someone else. Words could belie what is happening. Share more of what you care about, and encourage others to be more authentic.

Getting to that point might be interesting. Tonight: Buy a card on the way home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Friends support your drive to get what you want and/or to complete a project. Your biggest barrier could be your energy; it’s not endless, though you act as if it is. Keep in mind the end results, but take needed breaks along the way. Tonight: Choose what is best for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH A parent or higher-up seems to be very sure of him- or herself. Use your instincts when dealing with this person, and you will know what to do. A key friend might help you create circumstances that are much more to your liking. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might want to imagine what it is like to have the power to change what is going on around you. A key associate seems inspired by your thinking, and he or she is likely to play a dominant role. Sit back and see what happens. Tonight: Hang with your friends.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might need to view a situation in a different light. Your sense of humor could be off-color, but it will help many of those around you gain a perspective on their immediate dealings.

Pressure comes from your own expectations of yourself. Ease up some. Tonight: Say little.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Detach, and you’ll find the answers you’re looking for. Follow your instincts. Others might respond in a way that delights you. Recognize the lack of facts being presented by someone, and let your imagination fill in the gaps.

Tonight: Listen to a favorite type of music.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Someone close to you is likely to seek you out. Remain open, and listen to your intuition -- not your mental chatter. Recognize the role your inner dialogue plays in your life, especially if the facts are not confirmed. Relax and listen more. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Be aware of your ability to move people when you approach them with sensitivity. You could feel a little off, as you might be depressed or tired.

Make time for a cat nap or whatever else you feel will heal you. Tonight: What you say could be confusing, yet it will be right-on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Try to be more nurturing when dealing with those in your daily life. Your ability to empathize with others could be instrumental. A friend will

Crosswords

let you know that he or she doesn’t agree with you. Listen, but tune in to your inner voice. Tonight: Avoid a heated discussion.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Make it OK to be on cruise control, even if a boss or a parent criticizes your behavior. Do what is necessary to appease this person, and know that your intuition is working for you. If you are single, an encounter with a new person could be significant. Tonight: Let down your hair.
