‘Lucky’ parrot survives fall
Residents concerned about garage proposal
By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – A Southwick woman was placed on probation after she accepted responsibility for a charge of cruelty to an animal. The woman allegedly threw a pet parrot over an embankment because she was angry with the parrot’s owner. Officer Thomas Krutka reports, in a court document, that he and Officer Michael Taggart responded to a 10:20 p.m. call on June 26, 2013, from a Granaudo Circle resident who had reported that a relative had thrown her parrot over a bluff during an argument. Krutka reports that he arrived to find the victim, who was crying and obviously distraught, outside the residence. The woman said that her aunt was intoxicated and had just thrown her parrot over the backyard embankment. She told Krutka that the parrot could not fly because its wings had been clipped. When Krutka asked her for clarification the woman explained that she had been involved in an argument with her aunt who became very angry and they began to “yell and scream at each other.” She said that when she told her aunt that she was going to call the police the woman became even angrier. While the victim was on the phone with the police, she said, she heard her aunt say “I’m going to throw your bird” and then heard the birdcage open. She said that, when she went back into the room, that she saw the bird cage was empty and asked her aunt where ‘Lucky’ was. The woman reportedly replied, “I threw him over the embankment.” Krutka reports that the woman said she had been looking for Lucky when he arrived. Krutka and Taggart then entered the house and Taggart then began to interview the suspect, subsequently identified as Gail Nowak, 51, of 12 Granaudo Circle. When Krutka asked Nowak where the parrot was she replied that she did not know. When he asked her directly if she had thrown the bird over the embankment she said “no” and when he pointed to the empty bird cage she repeated “I don’t know.”
but under conditions which prevented the sale of that license or transfer to another location. Patel purchased the business, but the former owner had to surrender the liquor license to the License Commission and remove the liquor inventory, usually by returning it to distributors. Patel then has to apply for the license, which can only be used at that location, and accept all of the conditions and limitations attached to the original license. One of those restrictions was to submit documents from the Department of
By Hope E. Tremblay Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – A group of residents of Rosewood Estates expressed concern over a proposed bus maintenance garage at 809 College Highway during a Planning Board hearing this week. The property is owned by the Lecrenski family and its company Five Star Bus is seeking a special permit to put a 7,400 square-foot maintenance facility there for their school buses. Architect Rob Levesque presented plans during the hearing that he said would change a bit before the final hearing. This week’s hearing was continued to Feb. 25. “We have been working with the site contractor and builder to manage the cost of the project,” said Levesque. Cost savings would includes changes in the drainage system so that there would be less impervious surface. Another cost saving not reflected on the current design plan is a change in fencing from PVC to galvanized chain link with an arborvitae hedge to be aesthetically pleasing and hide the facility from the neighbors. Planning Board Vice Chairperson Roz Terry asked about the total number of buses in Five Star’s fleet and how many would be at the garage at any given time. Nathan Lecrenski, who owns a home across from the property on College Highway, said Five Star has 61 buses and on average there would be far fewer than 10 buses on site. “In the summer would be the only time there would be that many buses,” he said, adding that there would likely be three or four buses at a time throughout the year. Terry asked that the design reflect the maximum number of buses that the property could hold. Cynthia Marshall, a Rosewood resident, asked about fencing and setbacks and said she did not think another business was needed in that area. “There are 290 units within less than a quarter-mile of this area, and these are 55 and over residences,” she said. “I feel personally we have our share of businesses.” Terry said the lot is zoned Business Restricted and the board cannot block a business from going there if it fits the

Committee approves liquor license By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The License Commission approved a package store license after learning details of the proposed business at a public hearing conducted Monday night. Himali Patel submitted a petition for the full liquor license at the Four Mile Country Store on Russell Road which had been operated for the past several years under a license granted through a home-rule petition to the Legislature. The store had held a seasonal all-liquor license prior to being granted the special license,
Local students to test new PARCC exam By Peter Francis Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ recent selection of the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC, test is gathering momentum, as 1,097 schools statewide have been selected to participate in the pilot test, including schools in Westfield. “PARCC is a follow-up to the Common Core standards accepted by state government and the state education commissioner,” said Ronald Rix, the director of technology & business services for Westfield Public Schools. “(The Common Core) gave us data to compare states from all over the country, from Tennessee to Massachusetts.” Rix added that, prior to the adoption of the Common Core, the state of Massachusetts was routinely ranked atop the nation in certain exams, but due to the rigorous nature of some
its tests, it struggled in others. “States chose either the PARCC or the Smarter Balanced Assessment,” he said. “(PARCC) is a 21st century tool to measure student knowledge as opposed to the traditional paper and pencil methods.” In Westfield, seven schools will be taking the test, with Highland, Southampton Road, and Juniper Park Elementary Schools taking a paper version, while North and South Middle Schools, Westfield High School and Westfield Vocational-Technical High School will be taking it online. “The students will be taking the performance-based assessment in March and April, in which they’ll be working on solving problems in real life situations,” Rix said. “By the end of the school year, by May and June, they’ll be tested again to see their mastery of the standards.” He also said that the district’s plan is to send
notifications to the parents of students whose classes have been selected for the test “two weeks after February break”, and that the test wouldn’t be issued to tenth graders, who are already engrossed in the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System, or MCAS, test. Rix reiterated that the test is only a pilot in English Language Arts and Math, but Gateway Superintendent Dr. David Hopson, whose district also has classes taking the exam, hopes the pilot gets expanded upon, “given the amount of money the state has put into it.” “The state chose which schools it wanted to test and we have two classes that will taking it,” Hopson said. “We’re in pretty decent shape (for the test) because we have enough laptops in the classrooms.” While the exam is being given to students from grades 3 to 11 throughout the state, Hopson’s district will only see two classrooms
taking the pilot test. A third class was dropped due to only having a small number of students. “Implementing the test for all those grade levels is a challenging bar that the state DESE (Department of Elementary and Secondary Education) has set,” he said. In Southwick, School Superintendent Dr. John Barry is skeptical of the amount of time being devoted to the pilot, which is being implemented in Woodland and Granville Elementary, and Powder Mill Middle School next month. “We don’t have much choice,” he said regarding the state’s selection of schools for the pilot. “I think the testing sessions are a little longer than I would want it to be, especially because of how close it is to the MCAS. But we’re only being tested in eight classrooms across the district, so it’s a small percentage.”

WESTFIELD — The Westfield Council On Aging is combining the monthly “Live and Learn” healthy lifestyle series with a special research project on balance that Dr. Melissa Roti from the Westfield State University Movement Science Department is conducting. The risk of falling is greater for older adults if physical and cognitive functioning decline. Therefore, prevention should address both areas. One factor that may negatively influence physical and cognitive functioning is hydration status or how much fluid a person drinks. Dr. Roti’s research project will examine the relationship between hydration and balance in older adults. Join Dr. Roti at the Westfield Senior Center on Tuesday, February 18 at 10 a.m. for her presentation, “A Balancing Act.” She’ll discuss factors that affect balance as well as outline her research project for any senior who would like to be a subject. Participants will complete some questionnaires regarding food/fluid intake and physical/cognitive function; provide a single urine sample; and perform a balance assessment. The information gathering and balance testing will take place in March at the Westfield Senior Center. The students in the Gerokinesiology class will administer the balance tests as a practical exam for a grade. Feel free to contact Dr. Roti for more information about the research project at mroti@ westfield.ma.edu or 572-5665. No sign-ups are necessary for Dr. Roti’s “A Balancing Act” session on February 18. The Westfield Senior Center is located at 40 Main Street. Free parking is available in the Stop & Shop lot or, for no more than three hours, in the municipal lot behind Bank of America.

Mass. middle schooler gets tongue stuck to pole EASTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — An Easthampton middle school student, in a scene straight out of the movie “A Christmas Story” got their tongue stuck to a metal pole. Fire Chief David Mottor says firefighters responded to White Brook Middle School at about 8 a.m. Wednesday, when temperatures were well below freezing. Mottor tells The Republican that firefighters poured warm water on the student’s tongue, freeing it. The student was not injured. The student’s age and gender were not released. In the 1983 movie, a character named Flick gets his tongue stuck to a metal pole after being triple-dog dared to do so.

n Feb. 13, 1914, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, also known as ASCAP, was founded in New York to protect the copyrights of creators and ensure compensation for public performances of their works.
On this date: In 1542, the fifth wife of England’s King Henry VIII, Catherine Howard, was executed for adultery. In 1861, Abraham Lincoln was officially declared winner of the 1860 presidential election as electors cast their ballots. In 1920, the League of Nations recognized the perpetual neutrality of Switzerland. In 1935, a jury in Flemington, N.J., found Bruno Richard Hauptmann guilty of first-degree murder in the kidnap-slaying of the son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh. (Hauptmann was later executed.) In 1939, Justice Louis D. Brandeis retired from the U.S. Supreme Court. (He was succeeded by William O. Douglas.) In 1943, during World War II, the U.S. Marine Corps Women’s Reserve was officially established.
In 1960, France exploded its first atomic bomb in the Sahara Desert. In 1974, Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Alexander Solzhenitsyn was expelled from the Soviet Union. In 1980, the 13th Winter Olympics opened in Lake Placid, N.Y. In 1984, Konstantin Chernenko (chehr-NYEN’-koh) was chosen to be general secretary of the Soviet Communist Party’s Central Committee, succeeding the late Yuri Andropov. In 1988, the 15th winter Olympics opened in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. In 1991, during Operation Desert Storm, allied warplanes destroyed an underground shelter in Baghdad that had been identified as a military command center; Iraqi officials said 500 civilians were killed. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush, trying to calm a political storm, ordered the release of his Vietnam-era military records to counter Democrats’ suggestions that he’d shirked his duty in the Texas Air National Guard.
Five years ago:
A $787 billion stimulus bill aimed at easing the worst economic cri-
sis in decades cleared both houses of Congress. Peanut Corp. of America, the Lynchburg, Va.-based peanut processing company at the heart of a national salmonella outbreak, filed for bankruptcy. A female suicide bomber targeted Shiite pilgrims in Musayyib, Iraq, killing at least 40.

Massachusetts has already burned through its $43 million snow and ice budget for the current fiscal year. (Photo submitted)
Mass. snow and ice budget straining under storms BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts has already burned through its $43 million snow and ice budget for the current fiscal year — having spent about $75 million ahead of the storm expected to arrive Thursday. A transportation department spokeswoman said the agency will seek supplemental funding from the Legislature to make up the difference. The $75 million is still far short of the $127.5 million spent during the 2009 fiscal
year. The department began the season with 300,000 tons of salt, with additional deliveries arriving regularly. The state has already used a total of 450,000 tons this season, with another 150,000 tons on hand. The goal is to use only the salt needed to get the job done. Special controllers are used to limit the amount of salt with a pre-wetting and brine solution used to help salt adhere to the road.
Liquor License Continued from Page 1 Revenue indicating that the license was in good standing with the department and that all applicable taxes had been paid. Patel provided that documentation during the hearing Monday. Patel also paid a $4,000 fee to the city as part of her application to secure a new license for that location. That fee must be paid every time the business is sold, under the conditions set by the legislation.
Patel will operate the package store as liquor manager and under the corporate entity of Mogalkrupa, LLC. Patel holds all of the officer positions within that limited liability corporation. The commission’s action to approve the license will now be reviewed by the Alcoholic Control Beverage Commission which has the final approval of all liquor licenses in the state.

description allowed. “We can’t not allow a business in a business district unless it doesn’t fit in, but we can try to protect the residents,” said Terry. Residents were also concerned that the garage would be “an eyesore.” Levesque said the Butler-style metal building would be in earth tones similar to other buildings in the area and would include landscaping for privacy. Another Rosewood resident was concerned about pollution from the diesel engines. Lecrenski said there would only be a couple of buses on the lot on a daily basis and the work would be done within the garage. Lecrenski also noted that new diesel emissions standards are stricter than regular fuel standards. “And I don’t want them running for long,” he said. “When they run, it costs money.” Another resident asked about how the buses – especially those being towed by a large truck – would enter the property on such a busy road. “We’ll have a pull-through,” said Lecrenski, adding that school buses in both Southwick and Westfield use the Whip City Tool and Die pull-through lot as a turn-around now. Levesque told the concerned residents that because College Highway is a state road, any plans that include a curb cut must be approved by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. “Everything they do is subject to DOT regulations,” said Levesque, adding that they are reviewing plans now.

Parrot Continued from Page 1 Krutka reports that he and the victim began to search for the parrot and Nowak came out of the residence. He wrote that the woman “stood on a small deck that overlooked the embankment below” and looked directly into a patch of thick brush. When Krutka asked her “is that where you threw the parrot?” the woman replied “No, but can I see your flashlight.” When he asked her again if she threw the parrot off the deck Nowak replied “No, but it should be right there” while pointing to thick brush at the bottom of an approximately twenty foot drop. Lucky was not found in the search that night, Krutka reports, but Taggart said later that the parrot was found alive the next day. Krutka reports that Nowak displayed the classic symptoms of alcohol intoxication – slow and slurred speech, glassy and bloodshot eyes and an odor of alcohol on her breath. He reports he was “not comfortable leaving her there by herself in this condition” and she was placed in protective custody. Krutka later filed an application for a criminal complaint charging Nowak with cruelty to an animal. She was arraigned in Westfield District Court on Dec. 4 and released on her personal recognizance pending a Feb. 11 hearing. When she appeared before Judge Paul M. Vrabel on Tuesday Nowak submitted to facts sufficient to warrant a guilty finding and was placed on probation for two months. She was assessed $90 and will have to pay a $200 probation service fee.

Is Washington working again? Um … By Edward-Isaac Dovere Politico.com There’s a two-year budget deal. A farm bill. And now, over tea party objections, House Speaker John Boehner sent a oneyear debt-limit increase to the White House, no strings attached. So is Washington working again? Don’t get too excited. Immigration reform’s nowhere close. Extending long-term unemployment insurance has faded from view. Fast track on trade deals — well, even the Democrats can’t agree among themselves what to do there. And there are probably a few more Obamacare repeal votes coming. And not everyone’s happy with the compromises made over the past couple of months. In fact, just about everyone has something to complain about — most of all, each other. “Hopefully, this puts an end to politics by brinksmanship and allows us to move forward to do more to create good jobs and strengthen the economy,” President Barack Obama said in a statement Wednesday night. “Instead of wasting time creating new crises, Congress should be focused on creating new jobs and opportunities” “There are certainly things we can do together,” said Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck, “but anything big is going to require a change of approach from the president.” “They finally conceded — at least the speaker recognized the harm that would happen to our economy if we didn’t proceed,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday evening, at the start of the House Democratic Caucus retreat. The White House recalibrated its own approach, with a mind-set very much defined by the legacy of the shutdown: Obama energized his own party and impressed many beyond by holding the line, Republicans started fighting with each other and lost credibility over what was widely seen as an overreach. Hard as it is to remember, before the rolling debacles of Obamacare, the president was headed into October riding high. Obama and his aides took a lot away from that experience, which ended better for the president — in terms of what was voted on, and politically — than the past few rounds of budget battles. For this debt ceiling debate, White House aides went a little further, very deliberately never having the president make a major statement about the debt ceiling, or have any high-profile role from the White House at all. His rhetoric all along had been that raising the debt ceiling was Congress’s job and not something for him to fight with them about, and the White House figured that by making Congress the only ones talking about the issues, they’d be more successful at making their talking point come true. Instead, they left it to Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to write a warning letter on not raising the debt ceiling and make a speech about it, counting on that to be heard on Wall Street and the Chamber of Commerce, and in turn reverberate back to the Republican leadership. They also credit Pelosi for not letting her members peel off, but rather, be there to vote with the Republicans freed up when Boehner broke the Hastert rule again. White House aides are aware of Republicans who’ve said that the debt ceiling vote marked the end, not the beginning, of any collaboration. That said, aides are willing to let on that maybe, just maybe, they think there’s some sort of template for action on unemployment insurance, raising the minimum wage, infrastructure investment, universal pre-K or immigration reform. This week’s votes raising the debt ceiling until next March “hopefully ends an era,” a White House official said. “It remains an open question, though, whether Republicans will choose to build on this momentum by being more open to bipartisan compromise that would actually support and strengthen our economy.” And that the president’s not at all backing off of his “year of action” emphasis on executive orders to get around congressional resistance, White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters Wednesday. The Republican argument, though, is that the progress that’s happened is precisely because Obama wasn’t involved, and that he remains the reason why, for the most part, things are stuck. “It’s just like the White House to take credit for things it had zippy to do with,” Buck said. “A bipartisan budget agreement that reduced the deficit by $23 billion, a farm bill that saved another $23 billion, and an earmark-free government funding bill are credit to the hard work of our members, not the president. Don’t just ask us: while the House has been getting things done, the president’s told anyone who’ll listen that he’s on his own now.” Buck pointed to natural gas production, worker training, workplace rules and federally funded research as areas in which they’d want to see more collaboration with Obama. In the meantime, the House Democrats celebrated a victory that they quickly added was really a victory for bipartisanship, inviting House Republicans to work with them more even as they pummeled House Republicans for being against mainstream American values. After knocking the 199 House Republicans who voted against the debt ceiling increase as “stunning,” Pelosi said that what happened with the debt ceiling vote made her think that there’s a way forward, “hopefully working in a bipartisan way.” “We hope that this is a watershed moment, that more will come from this,” said Rep. Joe Crowley of New York, the Democratic Caucus vice chairman, standing by Pelosi’s side at the retreat. “Although I’m not holding my breath.” Manu Raju contributed to this report.
Anti-debt group finds itself in red By Byron Tau Politico.com A year and a half after launching with much fanfare, a group affiliated with fiscal watchdogs Erskine Bowles and former Sen. Alan Simpson is nearly broke. The Can Kicks Back — which targets millennials and was conceived as a partner and affiliate of the group Fix the Debt — is running low on cash, according to emails and documents reviewed by POLITICO. The group left a history of documents, including financial statements and internal deliberations over policy decisions, online in a Google Group that was open to public view but was recently closed. Those documents provide a peek into the dayto-day planning and operation of a modern public affairs campaign, one that publicly presented itself as driven by grassroots energy but largely relied on big donors and wealthy Wall Street types for funding. Fix the Debt furnished nearly $200,000 in seed money to The Can Kicks Back in late 2012. The groups are part of a loose coalition of anti-debt organizations that sought to pressure House Republicans and President Barack Obama to come to a grand bargain on reducing the debt and dealing with longterm entitlements. But with a grand bargain dead in the water, both groups have struggled of late. Fix the Debt is in the midst of an organizational transition, while The Can Kicks Back is facing questions about the group’s finances and future direction. As of November, The Can Kicks Back was operating at a small loss. The group’s cash reserves were down to $70,000, with more than $75,000 in outstanding commitments, according to documents and emails. And the group’s co-founders and management team have expressed concern about its future. According to emails, the group has only enough cash to last through April. “Without someone/something else covering staff costs and without fundraising miracles like Stan or near-Stan happening consistently, I don’t know how we both sustain [an] organization and do meaningful things,” Nick Troiano, co-founder and communications director of the group, wrote in a November email. Troiano was referring to a large donation by hedge fund manager Stan Druckenmiller. According to emails, Druckenmiller provided the group with a $250,000 check in June 2013. That single check accounted for nearly 40 percent of the group’s fundraising haul last year. Not that the group hasn’t tried. According to emails, it also took meetings or made fundraising asks of former oil and gas executive T. Boone Pickens, aerospace magnate Norman R. Augustine and First Pacific CEO Bob Rodriguez, among others, since 2012. The group has also approached Fix the Debt for additional financial resources and asked to be set up with former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, former Blackrock CEO Larry Fink, salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff, venture capitalist Reid Hoffman, eBay CEO John Donahoe and others. The Can Kicks Back denied this week that its financial state is precarious. “A qualification from cherry-picked internal email months old is hardly representative of TCKB’s current financial situation,” Executive Director Ryan Schoenike said. “We are grateful for the support we have received and have revised our outreach, digital, and fundraising plans in order to continue our work of increasing millennial turnout in 2014 and beyond.” The group is organized as both a 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) nonprofit — meaning that donations are anonymous. It voluntarily chooses to publish donor names, but not amounts. “There are a number of points here that are factually inaccurate, and we won’t comment on unsubstantiated claims,” Schoenike said, although the group declined to specify which items the statement was referring to. Schoenike and Troiano founded the group with Michael Eisenstadt, Jake Parent and Brandon Aitchison, and all five serve as the organization’s steering committee. Though nominally independent, The Can Kicks Back has always had a tenuous relationship with its partner groups, Fix the Debt and another nonprofit called Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Both Fix the Debt and The Can Kicks Back have struggled with the perception that they are “astroturf” advocacy groups that are acting as mouthpieces of Wall Street and corporate interests. In response to a 2012 Slate piece by reporter Dave Weigel linking The Can Kicks Back with the billionaire anti-debt activist Peter Peterson, Eisenstadt argued that the group should request a correction — saying that the perception that they are Peterson-funded was hurting their credibility, according to an email thread. “Technically one can make an argument that we are …,” Parent wrote back in an email. “We receive most of our money from [Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget], which has received large amounts of funding from Peterson.” Slate never appended a correction to the piece. Other tensions flared with Fix the Debt over that group’s lack of diversity. In one email thread, The Can Kicks Back founders mock a photo of a Fix the Debt event featuring a “bunch of old white
guys.” Troiano mocked Fix the Debt’s diversity efforts as “pathetic.” Asked for comment, a senior The Can Kicks Back official said: “We enjoyed working with Fix the Debt and appreciate their efforts toward a cause we share.” But the group also worried about its own public perception and internal diversity issues. “As everyone is aware, our team is all white and 75% male … made all the more glaringly obvious now by the photos on the about page,” Eisenstadt wrote in an email in September 2012. “I strongly suggest we develop a plan to address this in the next couple weeks before we get branded as something we are not.” “Millennials are the most diverse generation in history and we should reflect that,” responded Schoenike, the executive director. “Great suggestion.” In a statement, Fix the Debt praised the work that The Can Kicks Back has done on the issue of debt and deficit awareness among young people. “They are a great group which has worked really hard to engage youth in fiscal issues through a number of incredibly creative efforts, and we supported them because we think engaging youth is so important and wanted to help them get started,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget — Fix the Debt’s parent organization. And when identical op-eds were placed by partner organization Fix the Debt in three college newspapers across the country, The Can Kicks Back team expressed its dismay. “I wrote the op-ed for Fix the Debt to use for our members who participated in their flyin,” a reference to a fly-in, or Washington advocacy day. “I assumed they wouldn’t be such idiots about placing the same one three times,” Troiano wrote in November. Other members of The Can Kicks Back’s own steering committee said they were uncomfortable with Fix the Debt’s public image as a conservative or corporate-backed organization. “Due to the fact we have become so ingrained as part of Fix the Debt, I’m going to have to ask that you remove me from the website and any promotional materials,” Parent wrote in February 2013. “Fix the Debt is increasingly seen (I think in a lot of ways justifiably) as a mouthpiece for corporate America, and particularly Wall Street. Without diversity of backing from other sectors, it’s becoming difficult for me to justify my role supporting such an effort. I’m not sure how this will affect my involvement with the group overall. I’m still considering it. But for now I’d prefer my role be removed from public view.” Parent remains listed on the group’s website. Amid the current cash crunch, The Can Kicks Back’s leadership is hunting around for additional resources. The organization has retained the fundraising firm Rock Creek Advisors. According to the agreement, Rock Creek Advisors will be paid a discount rate until at least $100,000 has been raised, according to emails and documents. With the failure of Congress and Obama to come to an agreement on debts and deficits, the group is planning to turn its attention to the 2014 midterms, according to email conversations between its members. The group leaders came to a consensus in mid-January to “make fiscal issues a top voting issue of Millennials.” According to a January email discussion, the group decided against direct spending in elections on behalf of candidates in favor of a targeted issue campaign to raise young voters’ awareness of debt and deficit issues. “We would probably need to target districts here too,” Schoenike wrote. “Rather than focus on increasing turnout we focus on getting those who turn [out] to vote on our issue. Any increase in turnout would be a bonus. With Millennials now making up the largest voting [bloc] showing we would influence their voting habits could be huge.”

WSU students perform ‘The Vagina Monologues’ Proceeds to benefit local anti-violence organizations WESTFIELD — Westfield State University students and faculty members will perform “The Vagina Monologues” on Friday, February 21 and Saturday, February 22 at 7:30 p.m. in Dever Stage. “The Vagina Monologues” is an episodic play made up of varying numbers of monologues read by women. The monologues cover a range of topics including women’s sexuality, the LGBQT experience, domestic and systematic abuse against women, women’s health, as well as how women are viewed and interacted with on a societal level. Each year there is a different spotlight monologue. For 2014, it is “Then We Were Jumping,” which interweaves the pain of women with the play’s author Eve Ensler’s relationship with her father. The play is directed by economics and business management major Melanie Lacroix ’14. Lacroix said that the play helps both men and women think globally. “I believe both men and women need to attend because whole communities have to view the themes addressed in the play,” Lacroix said. “The play is bigger than just Westfield State. It’s bigger than the United States. It’s a global campaign to stop the violence and it begins with educating the community, both men and women around the world, in order to spark change.” Tickets are $3 for students and $5 for the general public and can be purchased at the door. The proceeds from the show will go to The Westfield Women’s Shelter and the V-Day Spotlight Campaign, which helps end violence against women by contributing money to existing anti-violence efforts. Dever Stage is located in Parenzo Hall. Celebrating 175 years: 2013-2014 During 2013-2014 academic year, Westfield State University celebrates the 175th anniversary of its founding by Horace Mann as “The People’s College”.

Southwick-Tolland Regional High School girls’ basketball coach Mike Gill instructs his team prior to taking the court for the second half Wednesday night against in Huntington.
By Chris Putz Staff Writer HUNTINGTON – The Southwick-Tolland girls’ basketball team delivered the final blow to Gateway, knocking the Gators out of the playoff chase. Tournament-bound Southwick ousted Gateway 56-31 Wednesday night to improve to 13-5 overall. Morgan Harriman scored a game-high 14 points for Southwick, which led by double digits throughout. The Rams put together a 30-11 lead at the half, and led by 21 points, 42-21, after three quarters. Southwick’s Katelyn Sylvia finished with eight points. “We’re a team,” Harriman said. “Outside of basketball, we’re a big family. We carry each other. We want to get a good seed in the playoffs, and finish strong.” Her coach, Mike Gill, echoed those sentiments. “We’re just trying to gain momentum, and get ready for the tournament,” coach Gill said. Gateway received solid efforts from Chelsi Derrig (9 points) and Caroline Booth (8). “Our defense is still playing solid,” said Gateway coach Eli Robbins, whose team was eliminated with the loss. The Gators fell to 7-11. “It’s the same problem,” he said. “We’re not over our shooting slump. We can’t get our offense going, and Southwick was one of the better defenses we’ve faced.” BOYS’ HOOPS Southwick-Tolland 64, Ware 60 (2 OT) Matt Olson knocked down four 3-pointers and scored 26 points to lead Southwick-Tolland Regional to a big win in double overtime Wednesday night. Laurence Johnson added 12 for the Rams. BOYS’ ICE HOCKEY Greenfield 3, St. Mary 2 Greenfield scored with two minutes remaining in regulation to stun St. Mary at Amelia Park Ice Arena Wednesday night.

Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Upset Dad Dear Annie: I have a 75-year-old friend who was brutally beaten by an intruder. “Jim” allowed the stranger to enter his home when he claimed he needed to use the telephone. Jim suffered broken bones and a head trauma and spent time in a rehab facility. He still hasn’t fully recovered and is mostly confined to bed. Jim has no close family. He abandoned his wife 38 years ago, and his daughter met him for the first time in October. She is his next of kin, and when Jim was in a coma, she had to make some tough decisions about his care. She is not able to be involved as much now because she lives far away. I’m in touch with her often, so she is aware of her father’s condition and says he is capable of making informed decisions. The police concur. Jim is alone, depressed and alcoholic. I check on him daily. He’s promised not to kill himself, but he has given up on living. He has very little energy and barely eats despite the fact that food is provided. He just wants to lie in bed, smoke and drink vodka. And that’s my problem. I have been meeting his requests for alcohol, but I feel guilty about it. I don’t want to contribute to his death by facilitating his drinking, but I fear that depriving him only condemns him to an even more protracted demise. Jim refuses to be hospitalized or return to rehab, because he will not be allowed to smoke or drink, and he wants to die at home. If Jim is to recover, he needs to stop drinking, eat well and exercise, and it would be such a long and arduous road that he does not believe he can do it. Am I right to make him comfortable? Is this compassion or wrongdoing? -- His Friend Dear Friend: We’re going to side with compassion, but please know what you are getting into. While Jim may tell you he is not suicidal, he is doing exactly that by a slower route. You cannot force him to choose life, but you don’t want to be overcome with guilt and remorse, either. (And frankly, drinking and smoking in bed is a fire waiting to happen.) Dear Annie: Every gathering of my husband’s family means my mother-in-law has to control the day, the conversation, everything. It sucks the life out of me. Not once does she listen to anyone else or ask how they are. She never inquires whether I’m OK. There is never a sincere two-sided conversation. Somehow, everything reverts back to her and her need for attention. She does not get along with (SET ITAL) her (END ITAL) in-laws and refuses to visit them. My father-in-law sees his side of the family on his own. All I can say to every person considering marriage is: Open your eyes. If I had recognized this pattern earlier, as much as I love my husband, I wouldn’t have married into this family. -Glad the Holidays Are Over Dear Glad: We understand that she is difficult, but we feel sorry for your mother-in-law. She has no idea how to make friends or get people to like her. She must be a terribly unhappy person. Dear Annie: You were dead wrong in your response to “N.,” who asked about helping his mother financially once her money runs out. He is under no obligation to support his mother after Mom blew through all of the money her husband left. This child has worked hard his whole life and owes his mother nothing. I would not pay that lady a dime. Mom chose to spend stupidly, and so now she has to live with that. He needs to just tell her, “Sorry, Mom, I am not a bank!” -- Cathy in Michigan Dear Cathy: “N.” did not ask whether to give money to Mom, only that he wanted to provide for her, within reason. Setting up a limited monthly allowance (and no additional funds) would work and would be a kindness. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
HINTS FROM HELOISE BETTER POTATOES Dear Readers: When making mashed potatoes, there are many alternatives to using milk. Looking for a different flavor? Try using sour cream, buttermilk or nonfat Greek yogurt instead. That’s the fun part of cooking! You can substitute different things to create some yummy flavors. My pamphlet Heloise’s Seasonings, Sauces and Substitutes is crammed full of hints for you to liven up a meal! To receive one, send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Seasonings, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Have a baking recipe that calls for buttermilk, but you don’t have any? Try substituting yogurt. The nonfat Greek yogurt can be used in a zillion different ways! -- Heloise FREEZING CRACKERS Dear Heloise: You have written in your column about storing crackers in the freezer. After thawing them, is there any moisture in them, and are they soggy? Because if this hint really works, then it is the perfect solution, since I don’t eat very many at a time. -- Lois U., via fax This hint really works! Be sure to put the crackers in an airtight freezer bag or container. You can wrap the crackers in foil for added protection. This keeps out the air, which is what makes the crackers soggy. -- Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Feb. 13, 2014: This year you head in a new direction. In a sense, you become slightly less independent than you have been in the past. Actually, your sense of self is so strong that you don’t need to worry about this issue. You tend to be oversensitive. If you are single, you could meet someone special sometime after June. You also could discover that you have more than one potential suitor. If you are attached, you often give in to your sweetie’s demands because it is easier that way. The summer could heat up your interactions. Enjoy this period. LEO is romantic. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

THE WESTFIELD NEWS
IN BRIEF
Experiencing the Mandala WESTFIELD - Creative Arts will hold Experiencing the Mandala, one day art workshops, at the Westfield State University Downtown Art Gallery. The workshops will be held Saturdays February 15, March 8 and 22, and April 12 and 26 from noon to 3 p.m. This workshop is an introduction to the idea of using the mandala, a symmetrical design, as a form of self-expression and personal insight. The word mandala is from the Sanskrit word meaning “sacred circle.” Mandalas are considered Eastern in origin, however, examples of them are found in all cultures and all religions. There also are examples of mandalas in nature like in flowers. The class will be taught by Peg Considine, a multi-disciplined artist with a focus on drawing and painting. The cost to attend is $25 for non-members plus supplies. Students will be instructed to create their own mandala using paper on which a symmetrical line drawing is the starting point. They are provided with a range of paints and drawing materials to help develop their mandalas. A full schedule of class dates and times can be found at www.westfieldcreativearts.com. For more information on Westfield Creative Arts, call (413) 277-5829.
Construction Class WESTERN MASS - Western Mass COSH announces a five-day OSHA-30 Construction class for supervisory personnel with tuition set at $300 per person. It is noted that this may be the only time this class is offered this year, as it is often difficult for people to schedule due to the pressure of work. All persons interested in obtaining this qualification with genuine knowledgeable in-person instruction this year are encouraged to attend. The classes will be held from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. all week starting Monday, February 17, through Friday, February 21 at 640 Page Boulevard in Springfield. Reservations may be made by email or by calling (413) 731-0760. Payment of the $300 tuition may be made by cash, check or PayPal. PayPal payments should be sent to westernmasscosh@verizon.net. Space is limited so please enroll as soon as possible.
Retirement Dinner HUNTINGTON - A retirement dinner for Gateway teacher Steve Estelle will be held at Shaker Farms Country Club on Friday, February 28. Tickets are $25 per person (which covers dinner and gift) and checks should be made out to Marcia Estelle. A cocktail hour will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and a buffet dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m. Steve Estelle is a Gateway graduate (’74). He taught for several years in New Hampshire before returning to Gateway in 1986, where he still teaches. In addition to teaching 7th grade social studies, Estelle coached boys’ baseball and is perhaps best known outside of Gateway for coaching a dynasty of girls’ soccer teams. He was the founding coach of the girls’ soccer program in the fall of 1990 and was named ‘Coach of the Year’ by the Republican for the 2012 fall season. Anyone planning to attend the dinner who would like to say a few words on Steve’s behalf please contact Richard White (rwhite@grsd.org). Advance tickets are available for purchase from the following people: Matt Bonenfant, Traci Bongo, Tim Crane, Peter Curro, Marsha Estelle, Jodi Fairman, Laura & Darryl Fisk, Dawne & Tim Gamble, Wendy Long, Sara McNamara, Bill McVeigh, Richard White and Cheryl Wright.
Accepting Grant Requests WESTFIELD - Sarah Gillett Services for the Elderly, Inc. is currently accepting preliminary Grant Requests from organizations providing services to the elderly residents of the greater Westfield area. The filing deadline is March 1. Since the Sarah Gillett Trust was established in 1971, thousands of dollars have been awarded each year to those organizations in the greater Westfield area that are serving the elderly populations within this location.

On the shelves, you can easily find them with a reddish orange sticker on the spine of the book.
