Senate considers unemployment aid changes STATE SENATOR DONALD HUMASON JR.

By PETER FRANCIS Staff Writer WESTFIELD – As the new Senator for the 2nd Hampden and Hampshire County District, and the newest Senator on Beacon Hill, Westfield Republican Don Humason, Jr. is looking to keep fighting for his district, and to keep his seat in the State House.

Humason, who sits on the Senate’s Ways and Means Committee, is taking an active role in the deliberations over

the $36.2 billion spending plan being proposed by Gov. Deval L. Patrick for the 2015 fiscal year, and has heard testimony from members of the Patrick administration, notably State Treasurer Steve Grossman, Attorney General Martha Coakley, and Secretary of State William Galvin in a hearing on Tuesday.

Humason’s former colleagues in the House of Representatives will be now produce and debate their version of the budget, after which the Senate will draft

and approve their own version.

Both versions must then be reconciled into a single budget and shipped back to Patrick before the start of the new fiscal year on the first of July.

“The Speaker of the House (Robert DeLeo, D-Winthrop) has said they’re not going to support any tax increases, which the Governor has in his budget,” Humason said. “Which isn’t surprising, considering it’s an election year and there have been lots of tax increases

Gas pains grip New England

By DAN MORIARTY Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Municipal Light Board continued its discussion of a resolution to the volatility of the price of natural gas last night, a discussion that was not marked by any degree of enthusiasm for finding a nearterm solution to the New England regional supply problem.

General Manager Dan Howard said the gas supply, and cost per dekatherm, “is substantially worse now than it was last year” when the department used reserve funds to stabilize both gas and electric rates.

Commissioner Jane Wensley asked about the recent approach by the six New England governors to seek a resolution from ISO-New England, the regional electric management organization, to break the gas pipeline grid-

lock into the region.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) created the regional ISO structure when it deregulated the electric industry, separating the functions of generation, transmission and power delivery to end users to increase competition and eliminate vertical monopolies which existed prior to that deregulation. The regional ISOs now manage all of those functions within their specific areas of responsibility to ensure adequate power supply.

FERC then deregulated the natural gas industry a few years later, unbundling companies that controlled both supply and transmission. FERC did not create a similar regional management structure for the natural gas industry. The inadequate gas pipeline capacity into the New England region results

in gas delivery prices that are substantially higher than those in regions even though there is an abundance of supply.

Howard said the governors’ action “is unorthodox” in that ISO-New England is only responsible for managing the region’s electrical supply and delivery system and, historically, has had nothing to do with natural gas pipeline capacity into the region.

“The governors sent that request to ISONE because the problem with the gas (pipeline delivery) infrastructure is now a concern not only to the natural gas industry, but also the electric generation industry because more than 50 percent of electric power is gas generated in New England,” Howard said. “In Massachusetts it is even more of an issue See Gas, Page 3

Feds release extra $18M in heating oil help BOSTON (AP) — An additional $18 million in federal heating assistance funds have been released for lower income Massachusetts residents this winter.

The Massachusetts money was included in the nearly $454 million in additional assistance released to all states Thursday under the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

U.S. Sens. Edward Markey and Elizabeth Warren hailed the move. The Massachusetts Democrats had pressed Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to make the money available.

The decision follows recent passage of a spending bill that included more funding for the program.

Residential heating oil prices in Massachusetts have increased nearly 25

cents a gallon, or roughly six percent, since the end of October while residential propane prices in the state have risen 45 cents a gallon, or 15 percent, during the same period.

“It’s a big deal,” said Congressman Richard E. Neal. “This winter has been brutal for a lot of people and families. I spoke to a landlord in Holyoke Friday. He said oil is at $3.89 a gallon… he can’t do it.

I think that is the role we’re trying to play.”

Neal, a former City Councilor and Mayor of Springfield who served as the Representative for the state’s Second Congressional District from 1989 to 2013 prior to redistricting, also cited Silvio Conte, a former U.S. Representative for Massachusetts’ First Congressional District, as an original sponsor of the bill.

State Senator Don Humason, Jr. (R-Westfield) supports the LIHEAP initiative as well, and believes it to be a true bipartisan effort.

“We’re at the mercy in the northeast of harsh, brutal winters, and we have residents for whom the winters are particularly tough” he said this morning. “This funding is our version of the relief the southern states get for hurricanes, but we get it every year.”

Humason also cited the work of Conte, also a Republican, on his work.

“It enjoys bipartisan support,” he added.

“I think there are some people who question the level of the federal government’s involvement, but for the time being, this is how we deal with these winters here.”

Brown identifies priority road projects

By HOPE E. TREMBLAY Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – Department of Public Works Director Randy Brown met with the Board of Selectmen this week to discuss his priorities for Chapter 90 funds.

“Typically we get about $360,000,” said Brown. “The projects that are top priority are the most urgent needs.”

Brown said Coes Hill Road, George Loomis Road, Kline Road and North Loomis Road are the streets most in need of repair.

“Other needs could be funded under Chapter 90,” he said, citing a new salt shed and culvert repairs and replacements among those needs. He also said there are bridges that need help in town.

“That’s $7.5 million in infrastructure projects that are pretty critical,” Brown said. “At some point we need to address these problems in detail.”

Board Chairman Russell Fox said the board understands the needs.

“We are aware and we’ve talked about bonding as an option,” said Fox. “We will have to have a work session just on roads and I would like to do this fairly quickly and have

the Finance Committee on board with us.”

The Chapter 90 Program was enacted on March 23, 1973, by vote of the Public Works Commission to entitle municipalities to reimbursement of documented expenditures under the provisions of General Laws, Chapter 90, Section 34, Clause 2(a) on approved projects.

The funds provided from transportation bond issues authorizes such capital improvement projects for highway construction, preservation and improvement projects that create or extend the life of capital facilities Gov. Deval Patrick’s proposed FY2015 budget included an increase in Chapter 90 funds.

The administration’s transportation plan includes an additional $100 million per year for local roads and bridges (bringing the Chapter 90 program to $300 million annually) and an additional $40 million per year in capital funds for the Regional Transit Authorities.

“This is a growth budget that makes investments in education and transportation to grow jobs in the near-term and strengthen our Commonwealth in the long-term,” said Patrick. “Each of us has a stake in promoting

RANDAL BROWN opportunity and prosperity throughout the Commonwealth, and each of us should contribute to improving it. And the number of new reforms we have also proposed continues our work to improve government performance and achieve savings.”

The board agreed to meet later this month to discuss roads more specifically.

Scrapper charged

By CARL E. HARTDEGEN Staff Writer SOUTHWICK – A great deal of metal items of all descriptions are stolen – from work sites, backyards and the outside storage areas of many kinds of businesses – to be sold as scrap and most of the anonymous metal disappears but a town man is facing larceny charges after he allegedly stole a distinctive item from a neighbor who took the trouble to search for his property at a local scrap yard.

Det. Sgt. Robert Landis said recently that the problem of thieves stealing metal items for ‘scrapping’ is “huge.”

“People are going around stealing things off your property” he said, because “anything that’s metal has a monetary value” and thieves will steal anything they can scrap, items ranging from irrigation piping, sections of fence or, in a recent case he investigated, an old copper water heater.

Officer Greg Burt, who worked with Landis on the case, reports in a court document that the theft came to police attention in August, 2013, and the victim later reported that he believed he had found the copper tank stolen from the front yard of his Logie Lane property at a Westfield scrap yard.

Landis and the victim visited the scrap yard after the property owner showed police where the copper tank had been before it was stolen, out of sight from the road and about 150 feet into the property.

Staff at the scrap yard provided records of a transaction which had been video-recorded and Landis viewed the recording which showed “two white teenage males unloading a cylindrical shape (sic) object … from the bed of a dark colored pickup truck.”

The victim told Landis that the item seen on the video recording resembled his stolen tank which scrap yard employees reported had been cut up into manageable pieces for scrapping.

The victim was able to find in the bins of scrap metal a piece which included a fitting he said had been used to bleed air off the tank when it was used.

The technician also said that he had removed electrical boxes from the tank he cut up which matched the description provided by the victim of attachments to his stolen tank.

Landis reports that when he viewed the video he recognized both young men who he identified as Grady Hughes of 18 Pearl Brook Road and Liam Morrissey of 174 South Loomis Street.

The scrap yard’s documents showed that Hughes had been paid $116.60 for the heater two days after the heater was reported stolen from Logie Lane which is directly across the street from Morrissey’s home on South Loomis Street.

When police and the victim went to Morrissey’s home, Burt reports that the victim immediately pointed out an antique copper washing machine which he said had been in his home on Logie Lane as recently as two days earlier.

Landis advised Morrissey at that time that he had been seen on video with Hughes and a copper water tank and, Burt reports, “Morrissey’s response was that he thought it was brass.”

When Landis discussed the washing machine with Morrissey the suspect said that he needed the money because he is not working and “maintained that he never entered the home and the washing machine had been at the end of the

under Governor Patrick.”

Humason also said that lawmakers will be pushing for increases in aid to cities and towns, something that was missing from Patrick’s budget.

“In a year when revenue increased five percent, why did the Governor not choose to pass some of it on to the cities and towns?” Humason asked.

While budget talks will dominate the

A sample of the letter is as follows: February 5, 2014 Hon. Deval Patrick, Governor Commonwealth of Massachusetts Massachusetts State House Office of the Governor, Room 280 Boston, Massachusetts 02133 Re: Interstate Gas Pipeline Capacity

Dear Governor Patrick: Westfield Gas & Electric is a municipally operated gas and electric department which serves approximately 18,000 electric customers and nearly 10,000 natural gas customers within the municipal boundaries of Westfield. Through its strategic planning, risk management portfolio and conservation efforts, Westfield Gas & Electric has been able to maintain some of the lowest electric and gas rates within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. However, while gas is abundant within the United States at relatively low commodity prices, there are restrictions on pipeline capacity that have caused adverse financial impact to the residents of the City of Westfield and customers of Westfield Gas & Electric Light Department. We believe this will continue until such time increases in availability of natural gas pipeline capacity occurs in New England.

The Northeast has seen the increased reliance on natural gas to generate electricity at its power plants. This reliance on natural gas to meet electric power demand has placed stresses on the natural gas supply/transportation system infrastructure.

Local distribution companies, such as Westfield Gas & Electric, have always maintained and contributed to interstate pipeline infrastructure in order to assure gas supplies to its customers. However, the increase in reliance by electric power plants and the lack of construction of new and/or upgraded gas transportation facilities into the New England area has caused gas prices to spike due to delivery restrictions and increased delivery cost. In 2013, over 50% of electricity produced in New England was provided by gas fire generating units. The pipeline transportation cost to the local distribution companies is higher due to the need for firm transportation to assure that capacity is available to our customers. However, electric generating systems have not purchased firm gas transportation and thus the interstate pipeline system has not kept up with demand.

The failure of certain gas users to have firm capacity into

New England and contribute to the needed infrastructure has caused increased demand for such capacity and thus constraints upon the pipeline as well as significant increases in delivered costs. For example, delivered daily spot natural gas, that gas used to provide customers on a colder than normal day of which we have encountered many this January, had peaked at about $5/MMBtu in January 2012 to $32/MMBtu in January 2013 and $70/MMBtu this January. This is not sustainable. These costs have negative impacts on both residential and commercial customers alike and have far reaching effects on such items as job growth, economic stability and investments within the community.

In order to resolve this issue and provide for access to less expensive gas available outside of New England a regional and national solution needs to be implemented to help alleviate the physical constraints on our gas supply into New England. This can be accomplished by having all stakeholders contribute on an equitable basis to increase pipeline capacity.

We are aware of the New England Governors’ Commitment to Regional Cooperation on energy infrastructure issues as well as the New England States Committee on Electricity (NESCOE) request for ISO-NE to accomplish new electric transmission and natural gas pipeline capacity by the winter of 2017/2018.

We are hopeful that this occurs however, in the interim, our natural gas and electric consumers will be subject to volatile conditions in pricing. This negatively impacts our community as well as other communities in the region.

The Municipal Light Board felt that this was an important issue to bring to your attention and request assistance in attempting to find a global solution to this problem.

Gas Continued from Page 1 because 70 percent of power is from gas-driven generation.”

“The governors hope that ISO-NE will take a role in expanding the capacity of gas (pipelines) in New England,” Howard said. “If supply and pipeline capacity are not there for the electric power plants, the whole grid is at risk, so the governor’s asked the regional ISO to put a plan together,

which is a new approach. I think what the governors are seeking is more of an investment (in new pipeline capacity) more than control (of the gas industry). I don’t see this problem going away soon.”

The current pipelines are privately owned and regulatory review of new pipeline construction projects can take years, and huge investment,

Howard said.

“The pipeline owners will not invest in new pipeline construction unless they have assurance of payback on that investment,” he said, adding that the gas-generated power companies are hesitant to lock into long-term gas supply contracts because of the volatility in that market.

Howard, in a written report

Spending Continued from Page 1 next few months in Boston, Senate leaders have also introduced a bill that would make changes in the state’s unemployment insurance system aimed at lowering costs for businesses.

Senate President Therese Murray (D-Plymouth) has called the state’s current unemployment insurance system a “considerable burden” on Bay State businesses.

The bill, which is up for debate today, seeks to continue a freeze on unemployment insurance rates through 2017, and reward companies that have consistently strong employment records with lower rates. It also looks to expand an exemption given to seasonal businesses from 16 to 20 weeks.

“Last year the Senate voted to increase the minimum wage from $8 to $11 per hour over the next three years, but the House wanted to combine minimum wage and insurance reform,” Humason said. “I have read some of Senator Murray’s proposal and, while it’s a nice start, it still leaves Massachusetts well ahead of other states in the generosity of its

unemployment insurance, which is good if you’re unemployed, but bad if you’re a business.”

Humason expects to give his first speech on the Senate floor today, but says he is unsure if he will speak specifically on proposed amendments to the bill.

The move to increase the minimum wage has prompted many business leaders statewide to argue that unemployment insurance reform should be tied directly to any increase in the minimum wage, a move which the Senate has already said no to.

As he did during his tenure in the House, Humason today warns that such a $3 increase in the minimum wage could potentially thwart businesses and companies from moving to the Commonwealth.

“My caution is, in your zeal to increase wages, there may be unintended consequences,” he said. “You may actually now have fewer jobs, which means that more people may become unemployed.”

Scrapper Continued from Page 1 driveway” so he thought it was abandoned property.

Burt reports that “the condition of the machine was such that it could not have been in the open environment for a substantial amount of time as there was no corrosion or signs of wear from the elements.”

Hughes was interviewed at the station by Burt who reports that the man said “that he was a scrapper and had been scrapping for some time.”

He told Burt that Morrissey had called him for help getting a piece of scrap to the Westfield scrap yard and he helped Morrissey load it on to his truck and unload it after he had taken it to the scrap yard.

He acknowledged that he signed the receipt for payment.

Morrissey was summoned to Westfield District Court to answer charges of receiving stolen property valued less than $250 and larceny of property valued less than $250.

He was arraigned Jan. 29 before Judge Philip A. Contant and was released on his personal recognizance pending an April 15 hearing.

If found guilty of the receiving stolen property charge, under Massachusetts

General Laws Chapter 266 Section 60/B, could be sentenced to a term not longer than two and a-half years in the house of correction.

Under Section 30/C, the penalty for conviction of the larceny charge could result in a one-year term.

to the board members, said that spot market wholesale prices have jumped to as high as 1,400 percent of the historic average and those prices this winter are twice those of last winter directly linked to weather and the pipeline constraints.

The problem is also directly related to the extremely cold winter this year which has increased consumer demand by more than 20 percent and that fact that the department has had to purchase the higher-priced gas to meet that higher demand.

Howard asked the board to sign a letter to Governor Deval Patrick to take aggressive action to address “restriction on pipeline capacity that has caused adverse financial impact to the residents of the City of Westfield and customers of the Westfield Gas & Electric Department. We believe this will continue until such time increases in availability of natural gas capacity occurs in New England.”

House Republicans: ‘Other fish to fry’ besides Keystone White House faces revolt on deportation policy

By ANDREW RESTUCCIA Politico.com House Republicans said Thursday there’s no place for the Keystone XL oil pipeline in legislation to raise the debt limit.

“The Keystone pipeline creates job, but it really is not a debt-ceiling type issue,” Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, a top Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said during a discussion at POLITICO’s “Energy & the 113th Congress” event.

Barton said he expects President Barack Obama to ultimately approve the pipeline, which would carry oil-sands crude from Alberta, Canada, to refineries along the Gulf Coast.

Rep. John Shimkus of Illinois, another top Republican on the committee, said momentum toward approving the pipeline makes congressional action on the issue less urgent.

“We think it’s moving in the right direction, so I think that’s why we’ve got some other fish to fry,” Shimkus said, adding, “It’s not as pressing.”

And Shimkus signaled there may be less willingness among Republicans to continue voting on the project.

“It’s one of those things like health care. How many times are we going to vote to show we support Keystone XL?” he asked.

House Republicans have voted on pro-Keystone measures a number of times in recent years. But GOP lawmakers decided this week not to attach language aimed at approving the pipeline to a bill raising the debt limit.

The Republicans’ comments come just days after the State Department issued a final environmental analysis that found, under most scenarios, that Keystone wouldn’t cause a significant expansion of production from the Canadian oil sands — because that expansion will probably happen with or without the project. That’s good news for supporters of the pipeline because it means the project probably could not be blamed for any worsening of climate change.

Keystone opponents have slammed the report and urged Obama to reject the pipeline.

U.S. sends two warships to Black Sea for Olympics security

By PHILIP EWING Politico.com Two Navy warships deployed to the Black Sea will give U.S. commanders more options in case of a security problem at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, the Pentagon said Wednesday.

Col. Steve Warren told reporters the ships — the amphibious command ship USS Mount Whitney and the frigate USS Taylor — have orders to conduct “routine security operations and patrols” and to be on hand just in case of a problem in Sochi.

“We’ve made it clear previously that having them in position in the Black Sea during the Sochi Olympics gives us an added capability in the region,” Warren said.

The Mount Whitney arrived in the Black Sea on Tuesday, the Navy said. The Taylor is expected to arrive Wednesday.

Gaeta, Italy-based Mount Whitney, with its crew of about 300 sailors and civilian mariners of the Military Sealift Command, is the flagship of the Navy’s 6th Fleet. It bristles with radio and satellite communications gear but carries no heavy weapons. The Mayport, Fla.-based Taylor, which carries at least one helicopter, belongs to an aging class designed as Cold War convoy escorts and is on its last deployment, set to leave the fleet next year.

Warren was asked about the decision to send these two ships, as opposed to the amphibious transports, destroyers and others available in the fleet.

“These are the two ships the combatant commander feels are most appropriate for the operation there,” he said.

The Navy has at least two other ships — destroyers — deployed in the Mediterranean thatcould also sail to the Black Sea in case of a problem in Sochi. Plus, the U.S. European Command has helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft and troops based in Great Britain, Germany and elsewhere that also could respond.

For now, the Mount Whitney and the Taylor are an unsubtle reminder to Moscow that Washington remains worried about the potential security threat to the Winter Games. American officials have repeatedly offered to lend any assistance that Russia needs to preserve the security of the Winter Olympics, which have been threatened with attacks by fighters from Russia’s restive Muslim regions.

The Pentagon and State Department have said they’re conducting “prudent planning” to be ready in case of a security problem in Sochi. President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel have phoned their Russian counterparts to offer U.S. assistance if needed.

By REID J. EPSTEIN Politico.com The White House put together a coalition of labor, liberal, business and evangelical groups last year to promote immigration reform.

Now it’s trying to keep the band together.

Already facing a mutiny from the left over the administration’s continued deportation of undocumented immigrants, the White House is trying to assure immigration reform advocates that President Barack Obama still supports a path to citizenship — a key part of any liberal-backed immigration plan.

After a CNN interview and associated news coverage last week in which Obama said he would not “prejudge” what a House immigration bill would look like, a White House official called several groups to tell them the president isn’t going wobbly on citizenship, according to several people familiar with the calls.

The problem: If there’s no backing for a path to citizenship, why should progressive activists hold their fire on deportation, an issue that has risen to the top of their priority list?

“Deportations are effectively terrorizing the base,” Damon Silvers, the AFL-CIO’s policy director and special council, said Tuesday. “From a political standpoint, they are like Frankenstein’s monster. If they had a political purpose, it was to show the administration is serious about enforcement. It’s now a policy run amok.”

The AFL-CIO in the past week has blasted the White House for its deportation policies and warned that it will not accept any deal that doesn’t include citizenship. The National Day Laborer Organizing Network on Tuesday released a 41-page petition offering a legal rationale explaining how the White House can put a stop to deportations. The PICO National Network, an alliance of faith-based organizations, is borrowing political strategy to place sympathetic stories about the deported in local news outlets.

Advocates are parsing Obama’s every statement for evidence that he is either caving on citizenship or making a subtle move on deportations.

The level of sensitivity was on display Friday, after CNN aired an interview Obama did with Jake Tapper in which he called the House GOP immigration standards “progress” and pledged not to “prejudge what gets to my desk.”

Julie Rodriguez, deputy director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, began calling advocates to reassure them that Obama wasn’t getting wobbly on a path to citizenship.

Eddie Carmona, manager of PICO National Network’s campaign for citizenship, said he got a call from OPE telling him not to worry about Obama giving ground on citizenship.

“There was a Wall Street Journal article that came out [about the CNN interview] that said Obama was ready to negotiate away citizenship and they reached out to most of the organizations in the movement that that wasn’t technically what he was saying,” Carmona said.

Another advocate hadn’t yet seen or read about Obama’s CNN interview, which was taped Thursday but aired in install-

Scott Brown cuts ties with Newsmax

By TAL KOPAN Politico.com Former Sen. Scott Brown says he will no longer allow the conservative website Newsmax to use his mailing list after controversial solicitations were sent to his supporters.

The Republican said Wednesday that he will sever business ties with Newsmax, which he said was a vendor he had explored renting his list to, according to WMUR in New Hampshire.

Brown made the decision after Newsmax emailed his mailing list an article headlined “5 Signs You’ll Get Alzheimer’s Disease,” written by a controversial physician who has been tied to conspiracy theories that the Soviet Union introduced AIDS into the U.S. and who has compared the nation’s health care laws to the Nazis’ thinking.

“With regard to this vendor, I was exploring entering into an occasional rental agreement with the vendor that sent out the email this morning,” Brown told WMUR, saying he selectively rents his list to a handful of companies. “While the issues of Alzheimer’s is personal to me and an issue I have been working on for years, I did not approve or authorize the sending of this particular email. Due to this and other issues, I am terminating my relationship with this vendor effective immediately.”

The former Massachusetts senator is believed to be exploring a run for Senate in New Hampshire, to which he recently moved his primary residence, but so far has not committed to challenging incumbent Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.

ments Thursday and Friday, when he got a call from Rodriguez.

“She just said, ‘I don’t want you to get concerned that the president’s interview is changing things,’” the advocate said.

Friday afternoon, the pendulum went the other way. Obama said during a Google Hangout that he was ready to “look at all options” to reform immigration laws if there’s no progress in Congress. Some activists interpreted that statement as a sign the White House has an immigration Plan B that would stop deportations.

“He talked about administrative relief and people started freaking out that he was going to stop deportations,” said Angela Kelley, a vice president for immigration policy at the Center for American Progress. “There’s a lot of hand-wringing and hair-pulling from virtually every quarter.”

Obama last November said legislation is necessary for his administration to take action on deportations, and officials have repeated countless times that the White House does not have the power to unilaterally halt deportations. Obama was even interrupted by a heckler in San Francisco last fall demanding he take action to stop deportations, during which Obama offered his most extensive response on the issue.

“It’s important to remember that the president’s principles are well established and include an earned path to citizenship,” White House spokesman Bobby Whithorne said. “That’s been consistently communicated publicly and privately. We remain hopeful folks will come together and get this done this year.”

Kelley said the tension between the reform advocates and the White House is due to the seven-month wait for last week’s release of House GOP immigration standards and a lack of specifics about what that document entails.

“There’s a high degree of sensitivity to whatever words are coming out of people’s mouths in response to the Republican principles,” Kelley said. “People are a little on edge, and it’s unfortunate because here’s a really complex area of law and we are responding to a one-page document. … So it’s not like we have a clear policy prescription in front of us.”

The White House is determined to give House GOP leaders as much time and political space as they need to translate the one-page immigration standards into legislation. There’s been a concerted effort to not pressure Republicans on immigration, from Obama’s milquetoast reference to reform in his State of the Union speech on down through his most loyal outside supporters.

But that strategy isn’t taking hold with some groups that have long been close with the White House.

PICO’s Carmona said his group is no longer mounting the dual message campaign it pursued throughout 2013 to put pressure on both Congress and Obama. The coalition of faith-based organizations is taking a page from Obama’s political arm, Organizing for Action, and trying to place sympathetic stories about deported immigrants in local news outlets to build grassroots pressure on the White House.

“Every time somebody gets deported we’re going to lift it up at national level here in D.C., but also locally,” Carmona said.

“We’re going to tell the stories of our families that have been deported. We’re going to continue to lift that up and call on the president to stop the deportations.”

Cristina Jimenez, managing director of United We Dream, said she has used her recent conversations with the White House to push Obama to use executive power to stop deportations. She interpreted Obama’s Google Hangout response to mean he is open to executive action on deportations.

“His answer (in the Google Hangout) was that he would look at all that he could do,” Jimenez said. “From our perspective, the president knew the answer. He is acknowledging that there is more that he could do and he knows that.”

New England power plant closings pinching supply STEPHEN SINGER AP Business Writer HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The retirement of several power plants in New England is reducing power supply and driving up prices, the region’s electric grid operator warned Wednesday.

A regional auction to buy power for 2017 and 2018 in so-called capacity markets — comparable to an insurance policy that ensures power is available in the future — ended with a shortfall in megawatts for electricity used by businesses and homes, ISO-New England said.

In the auction that ended Monday, ISO secured a commitment of 33,700 megawatts, off from 33,855 megawatts of capacity required.

One megawatt powers about 1,000 homes.

The deficit in megawatts available is a first for New England, which has had a surplus in megawatt capacity since the forward capacity market was established in 2006.

“The region abruptly went from a capacity surplus and low prices in previous auctions to a capacity shortfall and relatively high prices,” said Gordon van Welie, ISO

New England’s president and chief executive officer.

Major oil, coal and nuclear power plants to be retired by June 1, 2017, include Brayton Point and Salem Harbor in Massachusetts and Vermont Yankee in Vermont. NRG Energy Inc. shut oil-fired Norwalk Harbor in Connecticut last year. The plants account for nearly 10 percent of New England’s capacity. Another 600 megawatts will go offline as other retirements take effect, ISO said.

Auctions in the next three years are expected to close the gap between demand and supply, ISO said. But the “slim capacity margin” and resulting higher prices are a clear signal that New England needs more power generation and more efforts reducing demand, van Welie said.

New England will pay much more for the capacity market, one of three energy markets in the region. The cost for 2017-2018 is about $3.05 billion, compared with about $1.06 billion in 2013 and $1.77 billion in 2009.

It’s too early to know what the impact will be on customers, ISO spokeswoman Marcia Blomberg said. The

retail price will rise, but it’s a small share of the total wholesale portion of the retail bill, she said.

Seth Kaplan, vice president for policy and climate advocacy at the Conservation Law Foundation, a Boston environmental group, said aging power plants are part of a “zombie fleet.”

With the rising use of natural gas, developers are proposing more gas-fired plants, he said. Wind, hydropower and solar projects also are key components of diverse energy markets, he said.

The deficit in available megawatts and price spike are “signals to the financial community and policymakers. …

You need to build some stuff,” Kaplan said.

Entergy Corp. will shut the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station this year, ending a battle with the state since 2010 when the Vermont Senate voted against a measure that would have authorized granting Vermont Yankee a permit to operate for an additional 20 years.

The story of those witches of Oz, before Dorothy crashed the party, is a global blockbuster. En route to that status is “Peter and The Starcatcher”, which just ended a long, successful New York City run, and is making a Hartford stop at The Bushnell on February 18-23.

“Peter and The Starcatcher”,

Peter Pan: The Prequel!

Broadway and Hollywood are awash with sequels, most of them ho-hum. When a prequel comes along, people take note–case in point, “Wicked”.

St. Mary’s Parish School

a play with music, based on the 2006 novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, is a backstory of the character Peter Pan, who is then center stage in J.M. Barrie’s novel. Rick Elice adapted the work for the stage, and Roger Rees and Alex Timbers brought it to the stage at LaJolla in California. Flash forward: the production moves off-Broadway, then on-Broadway for an acclaimed run, then back off-Broadway, and now

to audiences across the country. Along the way, it received 9 Tony Nominations, won 5 Tony Awards, including one for “Best Play”, and one for its then star, Christian Borle, who went on to stardom on TV’s “Smash”.

An interesting sidebar–the Broadway production logo, which draws upon the whimsical, imaginative content in the show, was crafted by Newfane, Vermont-based woodworker, John W. Long.

It was featured in The New York Times. http://www. artistinwood.com/ “Peter and The Starcatcher” is not for younger kids, but it certainly brings out the kid in jaded adults.

The Hartford Symphony will perform Bernstein’s “Symphonic Dances from West Side Story” (February 13-16) on a program which includes other romantic classics suitable for the Valentine’s Day season.

Y’s Wave makes splash Cathedral’s Madison Pelletier, of Westfield takes charge for the Panthers. (Submitted photo)

Whip City powers Panthers

By CHRIS PUTZ Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Cathedral High girls’ ice hockey team delivered one of its most grueling efforts Monday, losing to 11thranked Division I opponent, Austin Prep, 1-0.

It may have been a loss, but the Panthers are proving to put up a united front against lofty competition.

It was a scoreless game until well into the third period. Makala Boyle scored Austin Prep’s only goal, unassisted.

“Simple, we played one our toughest and best games (of the season),” said Cathedral assistant coach Dave Pelletier, a Westfield native.

The coach’s two daughters, Madison and Mackenzie Pelletier, both of Westfield, and Brittany Kowalski, also from the Whip City, employed a superb defensive effort, and Panthers goalie Lexi Levere, another Westfield native, finished with 33 saves.

Cathedral was coming off a big 5-1 win over Auburn Sunday at Fitzpatrick Arena in Holyoke. The Panthers received goals from five different goal scorers – Katelyn Joyal (1st period), Madison Pelletier (1st period), Annie D’amario (2nd period), Kyra Ashe (2nd period), and Annie McKeown (3rd period).

Joyal, McKeown, Brenna Hoar, and Tess Bonavita eached an assist for Cathedral.

Levere had 22 saves.

On Saturday, Cathedral suffered a narrow loss to first place, undefeated Shrewsbury 4-3.

“It was a great effort,” coach Pelletier said.

In that game, Joyal scored two goals – both on passes from Mackenzie Pelletier in the second and third periods. D’amario tallied the game’s first goal off a feed from Madison Pelletier.

Levere made 18 saves.

“They’re improving every game,” coach Pelletier said. “If that continues, we stand a shot to make the playoffs.”

To qualify for the postseason, Cathedral,

currently 5-3-2, will need to post a .500 record or better. Although they are a step ahead of the curve right now, the Panthers are tasked with a grueling schedule which features eight games in 11 days, primarily against tough Division I opponents.

“Making the playoffs is one of our goals,” coach Pelletier said, “but challenging these girls is our goal too. We want to give the girls the best experience possible. We didn’t want to play down just to get into the playoffs. We want them to improve in passing to shooting to quick, quick decision making.”

Mackenzie Pelletier sees the next few weeks as a welcome challenge.

“It’s going to be a lot of hard work,” Mackenzie said, “but it should be fun.”

Mackenzie said the biggest challenge, thus far, is not really the adjustment to playing for a team comprised of girls from Springfield, Longmeadow, and Westfield, bur rather the level of competition involved.

“The competition is a lot harder than it was for our club team,” she said.

“There’s not much difference (playing with girls from Cathedral or Longmeadow),” Mackenzie said. “Most of us have played for the Junior Falcons anyways. It’s been great. I already had friends in Longmeadow, and during the season I made (new) friends with girls from Cathedral.”

The 14-year-old freshman has played with the Junior Falcons for the last four years. She is joined by fellow Westfield High female hockey players Brittany Kowalski, Kaylee Baile, Lexi Levere, and of course, her sister Madison, also a freshman.

That group of Whip City players, joined by their counterparts from Longmeadow and Cathedral High, will begin the next leg of their journey tomorrow at Auburn at 3 p.m.

For the full schedule of the Cathedral High girls’ ice hockey team, visit highschoolsportsn.net. For full recaps of games, check out the Sports Section of the Westfield News or visit us online at thewestfieldnews. com.

WESTFIELD – The Westfield YMCA Wave swim team swam their way to a second-place finish in the YMCA League Championships at Smith College on January 25 and 26. The Wave joined teams from the Holyoke YMCA, Hampshire Regional YMCA, Hi- Rock YMCA, Tri-Y Swim Club, Kyd Swim Team, Pittsfield YMCA and Northern Berkshire YMCA for two days of competitive swimming. Wave swimmers walked away not only with soggy towels and goggle rings around their eyes, but many personal bests, qualifying times and even some team records.

Saturday’s session featured the 12-and-under swimmers, with personal bests from Mason Berube, Cole Bissaillon, Dan Burnett, Taanvi Cyanam, Frankie Dolby, Amber Garfield, Erin Jachym, Lindsay Kenney, Nathan Kunsman, Emily Mihalek, Ryan Morash, Dominic Navarrete, Jaden Noel, Lauren Nubile, Kathryn O’Connor, Emilie Pease, Alexa Richter, Ally Russell, Tommy Russell, Chloe Schumacher, Sabrina Serricchio, Ashish Sharma, Jake Voudren, Brennan Whalen, and Conner Whalen.

Eight-year-old Cole Bissaillon set a new record in the 50 free with a speedy time of 33.68.

Sunday morning began with a brief ceremony honoring seniors from each team. Westfield’s coach of nine years, Jamie Bloom, congratulated the graduating class of nine young men and women.

“They are a group of young people that we recognize and rely on to be great teammates, leaders and role models, as they represent themselves, their families, our team, and our Y,” Bloom said.

“They have accepted this responsibility and have very successfully navigated the challenges that come with such great expectations.”

Westfield’s seniors include Shaylyn Jurczyk, Roberto Morales, Ali Johnstone, Mike Giancola, Mackenzie Gendron, Jimmy Stinehart, Erin Lewis, John Dolan, and Hope Walsh.

“Each of them will leave here at the end of the summer and head off to college,” Bloom said.

“Most will swim and continue to have great success in the pool, but they will all be very successful as students, and ultimately as professionals, in whatever path they choose to follow. I know this because they are swimmers and they have developed the skills and the perseverance that are necessary to make it in our world. I am very proud of this group and I will really miss them when they

leave.”

Sunday’s 12-18-year-old swimmers also finished up with many personal bests. Among them were Kathleen Bissaillon, Alexis Bradley, Gabe Centeno, Rachel Charette, Sam Cloutier, Elizabeth Dion, John Dolan, Samantha Dolan, Lizzie Fraser, Emily Gelinas, Annie Goyette, Lauren Kenney, Justin Lemieux, Brandon Louison , Patrick Lurgio, Roberto Morales, Andrew Robitaille, Madi Robitaille, Nick Rosso, Sara Russell, Madison Stinehart, Anna Temchenko, and Emma Wilber.

Wave swimmers have another chance to secure a spot in the New Englands at MIT in their last regular season home meet on February 23.

Swimmers who have already qualified for that weekend of competition are Cole Bissaillon, Erin Jachym, Ryan Morash, Dominic Navarete, Emilie Pease, Alexa Richter, Tommy Russell, John Dolan, Kenzie Gendron, Kelsey Johnstone, Erin Lewis, Lauren Longley, Brandon Louison, Nick Rosso, Jimmy Stinehart, Hope Walsh, Emma Whitney and Maeve Wilber.

The winter season finishes up in April with YMCA Nationals in Greensboro, NC. So far, Hope Walsh and Jimmy Stinehart have qualifield for this elite competition.

The summer season starts up on Monday, April 28 and will run through July.

“Our program emphasizes the development of life skills and character as well as swimming techniques, training, expertise and competitive success,” Bloom said. “YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility are a focus of the team and we believe that excellence in swimming is a pathway to excellence in life.”

For those who may be interested in becoming a part of this successful team, the Y offers a free 2-week trial period at the beginning of each season. For more information, please contact head coach Jamie Bloom at jbloom@westfieldymca. org or call the YMCA at 568-8631.

Curt Schilling announces he has cancer HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Former pitcher Curt Schilling announced Wednesday that he is battling cancer.

The 47-year-old Schilling divulged the news in a statement released through his employer, Bristol-based ESPN. It did not indicate what type of cancer Schilling has, when he was diagnosed or what his prognosis might be.

“With my incredibly talented medical team I’m ready to try and win another big

game,” said Schilling, who retired in 2009 after 20 years in the major leagues.

“I’ve been so very blessed and I feel grateful for what God has allowed my family to have and experience, and I’ll embrace this fight just like the rest of them, with resolute faith and head on.”

ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys said Schilling is taking a leave of absence. He recently signed a multiyear contract extension with the network and was to be part of the

“Sunday Night Baseball” broadcast team, as well as contribute to the network’s studio coverage, including its spring training coverage, Soltys said.

“Our thoughts are with Curt and his family during this challenging time,” the Bristolbased network said in a statement. “His ESPN teammates wish him continued strength in his cancer fight and we look forward to welcoming him back to our baseball coverage whenever he’s ready”.

Annie’s Mailbox

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Why am I the one to feel ashamed Dear Annie: I recently found out that my husband has been calling escorts who advertise online. I am not sure whether he ever hooked up with any of them. I am just shocked that he is doing this and that it has been going on for quite some time.

I feel stupid that it took me so long to pick up on it. It appears he and his buddies had this system going to cover for each other when they communicated with these women. And then he gives me a Christmas card that says how much he loves me. It’s as if he dumped 30 years of marriage down the gutter. It’s the same as cheating.

Let this be a heads up to all the women out there: Check your husband’s cellphone bills. You may be surprised to find out who they are talking to. Staying in the marriage with this going on is not an option. Why am I the one to feel ashamed because of what he did? -- Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: You feel ashamed because you think he made a fool of you. The man you loved and have been married to for so long was behaving in a way that shocked and humiliated you. He is the one who should be ashamed of being so disrespectful toward you and your marriage.

Dear Annie: Whenever we are at a party, especially during the holiday season, my usually responsible husband invariably drinks to excess. He gets loud and then louder. A jolly drunk, but still a drunk.

I’m not a teetotaler, but I stop at one or two glasses. I get that I’m not responsible for my husband’s behavior, but it is both embarrassing and frightening. Who is this guy? When I express my concerns (the day after), he becomes petulant or surly. He promises to limit his drinking, but it doesn’t happen.

We’ve been married for 43 years, and this behavior has developed only over the past few. Other than being the designated driver, how do I deal with my party animal? -- His Wet Blanket Dear Wet Blanket: If this behavior is fairly recent, please suggest to your husband that he get a complete checkup. Ask to go with (so you can mention your concerns to the doctor). Most offices will also permit you to alert the doctor by phone or letter.

Another suggestion is to videotape his drunken behavior so he can see for himself how out of control he is. We hope it helps.

Dear Annie: This is for “Waiting for Your Answer,” who complained about bank personnel chatting up the customers.

When I was a bank teller in Miami, the Federal Banking Commission held a mandatory information workshop on how to prevent bank holdups. Two segments in particular apply to this issue. All greeters and tellers were instructed to: 1. Look the customer in the eye while greeting him/her. This will deter any motive other than banking.

2. Carry on a very brief, pleasant conversation while handling all transactions. This puts any intentioned robber ill at ease because they know you will be able to identify them.

As customers depart, note the height chart that is always posted at the door. The greeter will be doing the same as the customer enters the bank. This helps personnel better describe the person.

Remember that a brief, light conversation may help to protect you, your money and your fellow depositors. -- A Safe Bank Teller Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Get the Grunge From the Sponge Dear Heloise: It seems that there is always a report or article discussing how a KITCHEN SPONGE is loaded with bacteria. What is the best way to clean these sponges? -Stephanie L. in Ohio Ah, yes -- the sponge discussion, and how to keep them clean and bacteria-free! Most households use foam sponges. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends two methods to rid the sponge of nearly 100 percent of the bacteria: Microwave a wet sponge for 60 seconds, or run it through the dishwasher during a normal cycle.

Try to remember to clean sponges daily, let them dry out as much as possible between uses and replace frequently (especially if they start to smell). -- Heloise P.S.: Vinegar also works! Put the sponge in a bowl. Pour vinegar over the sponge and let it sit for five to 10 minutes. This kills more than 99 percent of germs!

BRIDAL FEAST Dear Heloise: When I got married, it was an all-day event for me (as most brides know). It started early in the morning, with hair and makeup, etc. And then I had to be hidden at the venue when guests started arriving. I hadn’t planned to bring any snacks. My soon-to-be sister-in-law brought finger sandwiches to me and the bridal party. It was so great, because we were all starving! They were easy to eat and did not mess up our dresses and makeup. -- A Reader, via email

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Feb. 6, 2014: This year you could be witness to or involved in more misunderstandings than in the past. Confirm appointments.

Repeat what you think you heard. Above all else, avoid snap judgments relating to interpersonal problems until the whole story is revealed. You will develop patience and self-discipline as a result. If you are single, establishing a calm relationship could be difficult, though the likelihood of meeting someone special increases after July. If you are attached, the two of you will learn to understand each other better. You also will develop more patience. TAURUS is a stick in the mud.

Leader Recognition Dinner

Lady Antebellum brings country fun to the Sun

By MIKE AUGUSTI Correspondent UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Cowboy hats, cowboy boots, jeans and plaid shirts were a common sight Saturday night at Mohegan Sun for a concert by country superstars Lady Antebellum. The Take Me Downtown tour started in January and has the band crossing the country until the end of the summer.

Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood formed Lady Antebellum in 2006 and have quickly risen to the cream of the country crop with a slew of number one songs and sold out concert dates around the country.

As the lights went down, Lady A appeared opposite the main stage of the arena on a small stage in front of the soundboard and kicked the concert off with their hit single Compass.

Walking straight through the crowd, the band slowly made their way to the enormous stage that extended through the audience allowing the band to get up close and personal with the fans during the show.

Quickly going through a number of songs including Better Off Now(That You’re Gone), Our Kind of Love, Get to Me and Just a Kiss, the three main members that make of Lady A were in top form and had the approval of the crowd as well. Love Don’t Live Here came next and was announced as their very first single ever released as a group.

LAdy A girl During the song American Honey, lead singer Charles Kelley (brother of musician Josh Kelley) proceeded to take out a GoPro camera (a hand held video camera) and head in the crowd to take some close ups of himself and the fans that were then broadcast on a giant screen behind the band. This provided some good laughs as he was singing face to face with some of the female fans. As soon as he was done with the camera, Haywood attached it to the bottom of his guitar for a rocking solo that gave the crown a completely different look at a musician playing his instrument.

After playing It Ain’t Pretty and the band’s first ever number one country single, I Run to You, things slowed down a bit with an acoustic set that brought the entire band out to the fur-

thest points of the stage. During the acoustic version of their song And The Radio Played, the band had a giant video screen showing a large number of country superstars albums or song titles that went along with the lyrics in the song. Finishing out the acoustic set, Lady A invited openers Kip Moore and Kasey Musgrave to the stage for a version of Tom Petty’s I Won’t Back Down.

Lady A guy Rounding out the set were the songs Downtown, Lookin’ for a Good Time and We Owned The Night. The band took about three minutes before coming back out for encores Need You Now, an Aviici cover song, Wake Me Up and another cover song originally done

by Anna Kendrick, When I’m Gone.

Kasey Musgrave fresh off the heels of her impressive Grammy wins for Best Country Song and Best Country Album (Same Trailer Different Park) opened the concert with a somewhat less than energetic performance.

Musgrave played more than half the songs off her debut album while slipping in Don’t Worry Be Happy in the middle of the song Step Off. Grammy winning song Merry Go Round was played towards the end of the set to the delight of the crowd.

WESTERN MASS - The Western Massachusetts Council of the Boy Scouts of America will hold their annual Leader Recognition Dinner on Saturday February 8 at the Castle of Knights, Chicopee. Several volunteers will be recognized for their service to the youth of Western Mass; this event is also host to a National Court of Honor distinguished members are recognized for their outstanding service.

On the slate for Nation Council Recognition are Cub Scout Tyler Wade of Pack 45 in Lee who will receive the Medal of Merit. The Medal of Merit is awarded for undertaking some outstanding act of service that reflects an uncommon degree of concern for the well-
