Day Lumber leaving city

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A South Broad Street company is relocating to Chicopee next month, selling its property to a neighboring firm that has expressed interest to city officials in expanding.

Day Lumber, which has been at that the 34 South Street location for decades, is owned by South Broad Street Realty, LLC of 61 Prynne Ridge Road, Longmeadow. The limited liabiwlity corporation sold the South Broad street property to Commercial Distributing Inc., of 46 South Broad St. for $845,000.

Day Lumber President Neal Churchill said the company is relocat-

ing to an Orange Street location in Chicopee controlled by the same owner as the South Broad Street property.

“The owner of this building is also the owner of the Chicopee property,” Churchill said. “This building has a mortgage, while he owns the Chicopee building free and clear.”

Churchill said that the owner had a tenant at the Orange Street location for the past twenty years, but that tenant purchased property and is relocating.

“In the long run it’s best for (Day Lumber’s) business to relocate to the Chicopee site,” Churchill said. “All of See Day Lumber, Page 3

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer WESTFIELD – A Blandford woman who has been looking for her domestic partner for more than a month has been buoyed by a reported sighting of the man at a city supermarket but is still no closer to her hoped for reunion with the man.

Karen Buchinsky of Blandford said that her partner, Milton Eldredge, 59, had been very depressed when he left their home June 21 after an argument and she has not seen him since.

“He just left instead of talking about it,” she said. “I thought he’d come back but he didn’t.”

Buchinsky said that she expected to see him again soon since “he’s got no place to go” but he did not return and she started looking for him.

She said that Eldredge’s three daughters are also concerned and have been helping her search for their father.

Buchinsky said that she reported him to be missing at the State Police barracks in Russell and said that after he left she and his daughters checked with everyone they could think of looking for him but didn’t get a nibble.

“He doesn’t go anywhere because he’s very depressed,” she said and said that although he is a licensed driver he has not had a vehicle since he gave his car to one of his daughters.

She said that his daughters, two of whom live in the Commonwealth while the third lives in North Carolina, and his granddaughter, are searching for their father via social networking sites and by telephone. She said that one of the daughters, who lives in Ware but works in Northampton, is looking for her father in that city since he once lived there.

He is computer savvy, she said, but said he has no device to access the Internet saying “I think all he took was his wallet and the clothes he was wearing.”

“I spend my time going around putting up posters”, Buchinsky said. “I thought he was dead.”

House approves abortion bill

By PETER FRANCIS Staff Writer BOSTON — The Massachusetts House approved a bill yesterday designed to tighten security around abortion clinics.

The bill would let police disperse one or more individuals who are substantially impeding access to a clinic. After a dispersal order is issued in writing, those individuals would have to stay at least 25 feet from the clinic’s entrances for up to eight hours.

The 25-foot boundary would have to be clearly marked and the regulations posted in public.

The bill also prohibits anyone from intentionally injuring or intimidating an individual trying to enter or leave a facility using force or the threat of force.

The legislation is a response to the recent unanimous Supreme Court ruling on McCullen v. Coakley, which struck down a 2007 Massachusetts law that established protest-free 35-foot “buffer zones” around the entrances of abortion clinics.

The House approved the bill on a 116-35 vote. The Senate approved it last week on a voice vote, meaning no individual votes were recorded.

Abortion opponents have said they would head back to court if the bill is approved.

Rep. James Lyons (R-North Andover) argued against the bill yesterday, saying lawmakers should take more time to craft legislation that would withstand future See Abortion Bill, Page 3

Westfield man facing rape charges

By Carl E. Hartdegen Staff Writer SPRINGFIELD — A city man pleaded not guilty to having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl who had been on a team he coached when he was arraigned Wednesday in Hampden Superior Court on four counts of rape and abuse of a child aggravated by age.

Michael Rash, 24, of 9 Miller St., who had been a volleyball coach at Agawam High School when his relationship with the victim began, was allowed to remain at liberty on $1,000 cash bail, the same bail had been imposed by Judge Jaclyn M. Connly when he was initially arraigned in Westfield District Court June 6. He will also be subject to electronic monitoring.

Rash was arrested by Agawam police after the girl’s mother began to suspect her daughter was engaged in a sexual relationship after she had learned that her daughter had been sneaking out of the house late at night to meet her volleyball coach.

The woman told police that she had learned between March and May that her daughter was developing a relationship with her coach but initially assumed that their relationship was related to the team.

Commission addresses spray park issues

Children of all ages enjoy the spray park at the Municipal Playground Wednesday. (Photo by Frederick Gore)

By Dan Moriarty Staff Writer WESTFIELD – The Conservation Commission set several conditions to address environmental concerns raised during its review of the Sadie Knox Playground spray park.

The project was brought to the commission because the playground is within the 100-foot buffer of a wetland resource area. That buffer is two-dimensional and is not just linear but also vertical because the wetland is at the base of a steep bluff and the playground at the top.

The project will require the removal of 30 trees, most are small caliber, but also several large trees with damage which pose a hazard to children and adults using

the playground facilities.

The other concern identified by the commission members is the practice of throwing grass clippings and leaves over the bank of the bluff. That practice has resulted in damage to trees stabilizing the bank as the debris builds up and covers the base of the trees.

The commission voted to impose requirements, including erection of signs prohibiting the dumping of debris over the crest of the bluff, and that during construction of the spray park a silt fence and straw bales will be put into place to prevent erosion over the bluff crest.

The city is constructing the spray park through a state grant from the Division of Conservation. The project has an esti-

mated construction budget of $281,000.

The Community Preservation Commission and City Council approved an appropriation of $300,000 for the project.

The state will return $200,000 to the city’s Community Preservation Act accounts through that grant.

The proposed Sadie Knox spray park will be about the same size as the park at Municipal Field near Franklin Street, but will have facilities similar to the recently constructed Chapman Playground spray park.

Other amenities such as benches, improved bathrooms and handicapped accessible sidewalks are included in the scope of the project.

Southwick Days offers weekend of family fun and food

By Justine Murphy Correspondent SOUTHWICK – It’s that time of year again, when local BBQ and chili enthusiasts bring their best to the Grill’n Daze event. But this year, there will be so much more.

Now in its eighth year, the local event is changing to accommodate all different kinds of activities, forming the first ever Southwick Days. It will feature three days of fun — tomorrow-Sunday – according to Ellen Miles of the Southwick Rotary Club, which will put on the event at the Southwick Recreation Center.

There will be a family-friendly carnival held each of the three days—on Friday from 5-10 p.m,. Saturday from 3-10 p.m., and on Sunday from 12-6 p.m.

Friday will also feature the Charlie Galvin Band at 6:30 p.m., followed by a fireworks display organized by the Southwick Parks and

Recreation Commission.

On Saturday, Family Day, at 3 p.m. the Southwick Cultural Council will host The Nields, a world renowned Northampton-based sister duo that produces educational children’s music. This second day of the event will also feature a Battle of the Bands at 6 p.m.

Miles said the club is still seeking local area bands to participate in the battle. Those interested are encouraged to contact Rotary member Bob Fox at (413) 579-4585 or rfox52@ comcast.net. Miles said this activity simply gives local area musicians the chance to showcase their talent, and maybe even win a prize in the process.

The final day of the event is packed full of activities beyond the carnival.

The Westfield Wheelmen Vintage Baseball group will play a game for spectators, but according to the rules that were in place in 1861. This will be followed by the music of

the Rick Badowski Blues Band, and later the classic rock stylings of Jack & His Guitar.

The annual Grill’n Daze BBQ and Chili Cook-off will also take place on Sunday.

Contestants will be able to enter poultry (judging at 3 p.m.), pork (judging at 4 p.m.), and beef (judging at 5 p.m.) BBQ categories.

First, second and third place prizes of $300, $200 and $100, respectively, will be doled out, in addition to a special prize for the best decorated booth.

The chili cook-off will also see first, second and third place prizes awarded—$150, $100 and $50, respectively. Judging for this competition will be held at 2 pm.

In addition, Miles said, a BBQ grill and smoker will be raffled off.

Naked thieves take burgers from SW Fla eatery BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. (AP) — A southwest Florida waitress has dubbed the trio of naked hamburger thieves who broke into an eatery “dumb, dumber and dumbest.”

Waitress Nancy Sansevieri was still laughing after police released surveillance video Wednesday showing the college-aged men — two naked and one clad in underwear — stealing 60 hamburgers from Doc’s Beach House in Bonita Beach.

Police say the men broke in early Sunday and left a trail of red peppers on the beach.

Doc’s general manager Lou Bangert told the News-Press of Fort Myers (http://newspr.es/1pevKLk) that he’s never witnessed such a crime in the restaurant’s 27-year history. Thieves have broken in and taken money from the cash register, but he says no one has ever slammed through a door completely naked looking for beef.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, July 24, the 205th day of 2014. There are 160 days left in the year.

O

n July 24, 1974, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that President Richard Nixon had to turn over subpoenaed White House tape recordings to the Watergate special prosecutor.

On this date: In 1783, Latin American revolutionary Simon Bolivar was born in Caracas, Venezuela.

In 1862, Martin Van Buren, the eighth president of the United States, and the first to have been born a U.S. citizen, died at age 79 in Kinderhook, New York, the town where he was born in 1782.

In 1866, Tennessee became the first state to be readmitted to the Union after the Civil War. In 1911, Yale University history professor Hiram Bingham III found the “Lost City of the Incas,” Machu Picchu, in Peru.

In 1923, the Treaty of Lausanne, which settled the boundaries of modern Turkey, was concluded in Switzerland.

In 1937, the state of Alabama dropped charges against four of the nine young black men accused of raping two white women in the “Scottsboro Case.”

In 1952, President Harry S. Truman announced a settlement in a 53-day steel strike.

In 1959, during a visit to Moscow, Vice President Richard Nixon engaged in his famous “Kitchen Debate” with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.

In 1969, the Apollo 11 astronauts — two of whom had been the first men to set foot on the moon — splashed down safely in the Pacific.

In 1987, Hulda Crooks, a 91-year-old mountaineer from California, became the oldest woman to conquer Mount Fuji, Japan’s highest peak.

In 1998, a gunman burst into the U.S. Capitol, killing two police officers before being shot and captured. (The shooter, Russell Eugene Weston Jr., is being held in a federal mental facility.)

In 2002, nine coal miners became trapped in a flooded tunnel of the Quecreek Mine in western Pennsylvania; the story ended happily 77 hours later with the rescue of all nine.

Ten years ago: Without promising what specific steps he would take, President George W. Bush said in his weekly radio address that his administration was committed to relying on the recommendations of the September 11 commission in waging the war on terrorism. Former Nixon administration official Fred LaRue, who served a prison term for Watergate, died in Biloxi, Mississippi, at age 75.

Five years ago: Trying to tamp down a national uproar over race, President Barack Obama acknowledged using unfortunate words in declaring that Cambridge, Massachusetts, police had “acted stupidly” in arresting black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr., adding he’d invited the Harvard professor and Sgt. James Crowley, the arresting officer, for “a beer here in the White House.”

One year ago: The House narrowly rejected, 217-205, a challenge to the National Security Agency’s secret collection of hundreds of millions of Americans’ phone records. A high-speed train crash outside Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain killed 79 people. Pope Francis made an emotional plea in Aparecida, Brazil, for Roman Catholics to shun materialism in the first public Mass of his initial international trip as pontiff. It was announced by Kensington Palace that the newborn son of Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, would be named George Alexander Louis. Virginia Johnson, half of the renowned Masters and Johnson team of sex researchers, died in St. Louis at age 88.

Gov: Plan to shelter children misunderstood BOSTON (AP) — Gov. Deval Patrick yesterday defended his offer to provide secure facilities to shelter unaccompanied children crossing the nation’s southern border, saying there remained considerable misunderstanding about the plan.

Patrick’s comments to reporters came one day after a meeting in which several town officials and residents in Bourne raised strong objection to children being housed at the Camp Edwards military base on Cape Cod. The governor also has offered Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee as a possible secure facility.

“What has been proposed is space in a secure facility for a short period of time while they are processed under our law,” said Patrick, who called some of the remarks made by critics of the state’s offer “coarse and unhelpful.”

The children, he said, would not be brought into the neighborhoods near the bases or attend local public schools, but would be processed “in a setting that is secure and safe and humane.”

court challenges. He said the current bill is simply a reworked version of the 2007 law tossed out by the high court.

“The bill … is on the face of it unconstitutional,” he said.

Rep. Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica) called the legislation “a retaliatory bill” aimed at reining in anti-abortion protesters near the clinics.

“The reality of this bill is that we’re trying to target a specific group,” he said.

Rep. Christopher Markey (D-Dartmouth) said the bill is fair to protesters, clinic workers and patients trying to enter or leave the facility because it focuses on public safety issues and not the First Amendment right to free speech.

“What we’ve done with this bill is to try to address the conduct of individuals, not the content of their speech,” he said.

Rep. Ann-Margaret Ferrante (D-Gloucester) also argued the bill is about public safety and not speech, alluding to the shooting deaths of two employees in Boston-area abortion clinics in 1994.

“There is a long, tragic history on this regard,” she said. “At some point in time there has to be a line drawn.”

The bill would also let anyone who believes they are a victim of aggressive protesters to file a civil action in Superior Court seeking injunctive relief, damages, and attorneys’ fees.

Any violation of an injunction would constitute a criminal offense.

Supporters say that portion of the bill largely mirror civil remedies allowed under the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. The legislation would also amend the state’s existing civil

rights act to allow the attorney general to seek damages on behalf of affected individuals who have been blocked from clinics. The attorney general would also be able to recover litigation costs and seek civil penalties for the interference of constitutional rights.

The bill requires a final vote in both chambers before heading to Gov. Deval Patrick for his signature.

House Speaker Robert DeLeo (D-Winthrop) praised the efforts of the House in a statement, and said the bill will enhance safety at these facilities.

“Through a focus on conduct, this legislation will enhance public safety and protect access to care,” DeLeo said. “My priority is protecting individuals using these health care facilities and I thank my colleagues in the Legislature, Senate President Murray and Attorney General Coakley for their vigilance in this regard.”

Westfield Representative John Velis said today that there have been many misconceptions about the bill.

“If you pick up McCullen v. Coakley and the 9-0 unanimous opinion, they struck it down for one reason only – first amendment grounds, because it was way too broad,” said Velis. “You push people back 35 feet, you’re going to be crossing into free speech zones, and you just can’t do that. This was about balancing the free speech rights of those who want to protest, and the public safety of those trying to gain access to these buildings.”

Regarding detractors of the legislation, who say there are already numerous laws on the books dealing with blockading and assault, Velis said, while he is sympathetic to that position, the dispersal order is the key point of the law.

“You can do anything you want to try to prevent and dissuade someone from getting an abortion,” he said. “The reason you need this type of legislation is because the laws on assault and battery, on false imprisonment, none of those prevent that 25-foot radius. All this law says is that law enforcement can push them back beyond this 25-foot radius.”

“During debate, people who were opposed to this said that 25-foot radius is de facto buffer zone that violates the first amendment and the answer is, no it’s not,” Velis said, adding that the first amendment ‘is not an absolute right.’ “The only way that comes into play is if you substantially interfere with someone, i.e. assault and battery. The U.S. Supreme Court has always placed time, place and manner restrictions on the first amendment.”

Velis, a practicing attorney in Westfield, used a classic example to summarize his take.

“You can’t go into a crowded movie theatre and yell ‘fire.’

There are things you can do to lose your first amendment rights,” he said. “If I want to get 30 of my buddies and go to a public sidewalk at 11 a.m. and protest the gun bill, I can do that, because of the First Amendment. But if I get the same group of buddies and we do that at 3 a.m., we get arrested because it’s a time, place, and manner restriction.”

“The 25-foot radius only comes up when people have done something to essentially forgo their First Amendment rights,” Velis said. “I think that this bill will withstand constitutional scrutiny. It’s not a buffer zone we’ve created.”

Day Lumber

Continued from Page 1 the current 18 employees are going to Chicopee. The transition should take place during the month of August.”

Mark Plasczek of Commercial Distributing confirmed the purchase of the Day Lumber property, but declined to speak about plans, at this time, to expand that business.

South Broad Street Realty, LLC purchased the Day Lumber property for $1,150,000 in October of 2007 according to records at the City’s Assessor Department. The assessed value of that Day Lumber property, which includes two buildings, for tax assessment, is $464,800.

Mayor Daniel M. Knapik submitted an order of appropriation for $25,000 in April of 2013 to purchase an inactive railroad spur owned by Sullivan Transportation. The intent of purchasing the former rail spur, which is between the Day Lumber and Commercial Distributing properties, was to provide access to the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail from South Broad Street. Knapik’s request also presented an order of taking for the rail spur property to the council in that motion.

That purchase was never acted upon by the city because Commercial Distributing approached Knapik about negotiating directly with Sullivan Transportation to purchase the rail spur, according to city officials who presented a modified rail trail access plan this spring.

City Engineer Mark Cressotti presented a plan to purchase two parcels of land between the rail trail to Coleman Avenue for $19,600, and two orders of takings. The City Council approved that appropriation from free cash and the takings at its May 15 session.

Cressotti said the construction of the access to Coleman Avenue is not part of the current project to extend the Columbia Greenway from where it currently terminated south of Little River to East Silver Street. That phase of the trail construction includes replacement of the bridge over South Meadow Road and rehabilitation of the bridge over Little River. The bridge over East Silver Street was also removed and will be replaced as part of the next phase through downtown.

Bloomberg blitzes Blitzer

By Kendall Breitman Politico.com Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg attacked CNN’s Wolf Blitzer for the “tone” of his questions during his interview on Wednesday from Jerusalem.

Blitzer interviewed Bloomberg alongside Nir Barkat, the mayor of Jerusalem, after the former mayor flew to the city despite the Federal Aviation Administration cancelling flights to and from Israel for safety reasons. What began as a discussion about the flight ban quickly became heated.

“I think the State Department is just overreacting in typical bureaucratic fashion,” Bloomberg said. “[Are there] Political reasons for that?” Blitzer asked.

“Why would you think that … don’t be ridiculous,” Bloomberg retorted. “It’s an outrage for you to accuse one of our agencies.”

Blitzer interrupted and explained that his question was not meant to be accusatory.

“By asking the question you’re implying that our government does things for political reasons, and maybe once in a while they do, but it’s your job to prove it,” Bloomberg said.

“Just the allegation against our government, I personally take as an offense.”

Wolf replied, “I’m just asking if you thought there was some political motive behind the travel advisory or the FAA, because a lot of people in Israel do.”

“I don’t know, you don’t know and the other people don’t know, but just the tone of the question is trying to create dissension, it’s insulting to America,” Bloomberg said.

Tensions rose during other points in the interview. As Blitzer began reading an FAA statement Bloomberg interrupted, saying “I didn’t write the statement. I don’t know what they said and you can’t put words in my mouth.”

“We didn’t let the journalist scare everybody away [after 9/11],” Bloomberg said at one point in the interview. “All of those people, the talking heads, who kept saying it was the end of the world for New York and they couldn’t be more wrong.”

At the end of the interview Blitzer shook hands with Barkat, who asked if the CNN host felt secure in Jerusalem.

“I feel very secure,” Blitzer said.

“And you want to make sure that’s on television?”

Bloomberg said.

Bloomberg also interviewed with Fox News’ on Wednesday.

During this interview, host Neil Cavuto also touched on potential political motivations for the flight freeze, asking, “You know, mayor, I’ve talked to a number of Israelis on the phone who have been saying that they wonder if this is political payback and that maybe we were punishing Israel knowing that this wouldn’t hurt Hamas, it would hurt Israel in terms of business, tourism and the rest. What do you make of it.”

“I always try to think of government, particularly American government — I’m so proud of America, I’ve always been,” Bloomberg said. “We don’t do everything perfectly, and there are some bad people and people sometimes do stupid things or bad things but the bottom line is American policy isn’t just set by politics. Every now and then it impacts you in a minor way, but I think the FAA is not a politically conscious organization.”

By Stephanie Simon Politico.com Teachers unions are struggling to protect their political clout, but as the midterm elections approach, they’re fighting back with their most popular asset: the teachers themselves.

Backed by tens of millions in cash and new data mining tools that let them personalize pitches to voters, the unions are sending armies of educators to run a huge get-out-the-vote effort aimed at reversing the red tide that swept Republicans into power across the country in 2010.

The unions have plenty of money: They spent $69 million on state races in 2010 and are likely to top that this year. But as they gear up for the most intense and focused mobilization efforts they have ever attempted, they believe it’s their members who will give them an edge. Americans may be frustrated with public schools and wary of unions, but polls still show respect and admiration for teachers.

“If someone knocks on your door and says, ‘I’m Mark, I’m from the state Democratic Party,’ you take the literature and shut the door,” said Karen White, political director for the National Education Association. “If you say, ‘Hi, I’m Karen, I’m a thirdgrade teacher at Hillsmere Elementary and I’m here to tell you what’s at stake for public education,’ that gets a very different reaction from the voter.”

Or at least, so union leaders hope.

While other interest groups focus on the frenzied fight for control of the Senate, teachers unions are pouring their resources into state politics. They’re pushing to flip legislative chambers in several states to Democratic control and put allies in key offices such as attorney general and secretary of state in Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico.

Above all, they’re out to oust incumbent Republican governors, especially Wisconsin’s Scott Walker, Florida’s Rick Scott and Michigan’s Rick Snyder.

Education rarely shows up as a top concern for voters in national polls. But it’s been a galvanizing force in recent mayoral elections in New York and Newark, and unions believe it will stir voters on the state level in a year roiling with debates about the Common Core, standardized testing and the soaring cost of college.

All the GOP governors in the union cross hairs are considered vulnerable, their races listed as tossups by The Cook Political Report. All have moved to curb union influence, cut education funding or promote alternatives to traditional public schools — or all of the above.

Walker stripped public-sector workers of most collective-bargaining rights (and then beat back a ferocious effort by organized labor to recall him). Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback cut job protections for teachers. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett has been locked in a years-long battle with unions over school funding.

And in Maine, Gov. Paul LePage famously advised his constituents: “If you want a good education, go to private schools.”

The enmity many teachers feel toward these governors goes far beyond partisan politics: It’s personal. There was even a booth at the NEA convention in Denver this month that gave teachers a chance to throw darts at the Republican governor of their choice.

“We’ve got to play real hardball in these midterm elections,” said Antonio White, a business teacher in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

He bounced on his toes, fairly crackling with energy in his eagerness to take on Gov. Scott. “Without a doubt, we’ve got to be Scottfree,” White said. “We’ve got to gain back power.”

To that end, the NEA has held training sessions across the country to teach members how to shape their message for every possible audience — including their own spouses. The vast majority of NEA members are white suburban or rural women, and their spouses are mostly middle-age white men, a voting bloc that Democratic candidates have traditionally struggled to reach. Union strategists see huge potential in training their members to start their voter outreach in their own living rooms.

The NEA has also developed more sophisticated data-mining tools to target specific voters outside union households.

The union’s database might indicate, for instance, that the adults at a given address are struggling financially and don’t have schoolage kids. So rather than send a teacher to talk with those voters about reducing class sizes, the NEA might dispatch a school bus driver to talk about a favored candidate’s commitment to raising the minimum wage.

Other common talking points include college affordability, student loans and concerns about too much standardized testing in K-12 schools.

The American Federation of Teachers, meanwhile, has joined other major unions in funding a huge expansion of the Grassroots Victory Program, run by the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee and focused on state legislatures. The initiative already has deployed 236 field organizers across 27 states — up from 60 organizers in 10 states in 2012.

And the NEA is partnering with Rock the Vote to bring more young people to the polls and with the NAACP to help voters intimidated by new ID requirements in some states.

“When you stand up, others follow, because you are the trusted messengers in your communities,” AFT President Randi Weingarten told 3,500 of her members at the union’s recent convention in Los Angeles. “We need you to be those trusted messengers like never before.”

GOP financially armed

Republicans aren’t exactly quaking. The Republican Governors Association and Republican State Leadership Committee have collected far more cash than their Democratic counterparts this year — and are far ahead of their pace in the 2010 midterms.

The RGA, for instance, raised $50 million in the first half of the year, compared with $27 million for the Democratic Governors Association. The RGA also reported a record $70 million cash on hand as of the end of June, up from $40 million at the midyear point in 2010. And Republican strategists are confident they can take at least a few governor’s mansions from Democrats, including in Illinois and Connecticut, where teachers unions will be forced to expend resources playing defense.

Republicans have new allies, too, including a super PAC focused on electing conservatives to state Legislatures from West Virginia to Nevada.

Plus, GOP partisans predict union endorsements will backfire among voters who don’t trust Big Labor to put the public good first.

“Unions want to keep electing liberal Democrats who continue to drive up unsustainable spending to their special interest causes,” said Jill Bader, a spokeswoman for the RSLC. “Hard-working families who are having trouble making ends meet have recognized that this doesn’t work.”

Incumbents take heart, too, from two high-profile stumbles for organized labor in recent years. In Wisconsin, unions went all out — including a tremendous voter mobilization effort — to recall Walker in June 2012. He won that vote easily. And in November 2012, Michigan voters resoundingly rejected a union-backed ballot initiative that would have enshrined collective-bargaining rights in the state Constitution.

“All the millions spent attacking the governor didn’t work in the recall and spending millions more won’t work this fall,” said Alleigh Marre, a spokeswoman for Gov. Walker.

To be on the safe side, though, the union’s top targets have been busy buffing their images on education.

In Florida, the state Republican Party this week came out with a Spanish-language TV ad featuring four teachers praising Scott for improving public education. In Pennsylvania, Corbett is holding near-daily events aimed at persuading voters to blame the Legislature, not him, for pinching school budgets. And in Michigan, Snyder used the high-profile platform of his State of the State address to rebut union claims that he’s decimated school funding.

“Michiganders see the progress the state is making, and I don’t think any amount of union attack ads will change that perception,” said his spokeswoman, Emily Benavides.

David vs. Goliath?

Union leaders like to frame the political battleground as a Davidvs.-Goliath affair. They speak with pride about their working-class members, armed only with clipboards and comfy sneakers, going up against corporate titans of immense wealth and power.

It’s a point of pride with the NEA that nearly 12,000 members volunteered to register or contact voters in the 2012 presidential campaign and more than 900,000 have indicated some interest in political activism.

“We’re in every legislative district, every county, every precinct.

No other organization has that kind of reach,” said White, the union’s national political director.

“The money conversation distracts from the point. What we’re putting in is the mobilization,” said Michael Podhorzer, political director of the AFL-CIO, which also plans a heavy focus on state races.

The money, however, is hardly incidental.

Organized labor spent $252 million on state-level campaigns in 2010. Public-sector unions alone spent $140 million, according to campaign finance records assembled by the National Institute on Money in State Politics.

Teachers unions, which represent a combined 3.8 million workers, spent $69 million on state races in 2010 and $92 million in 2012, according to the Institute. The NEA and AFT are also perennially among the top outside spenders on federal campaigns.

In this cycle, the teachers unions plan to play in some federal races, including the Senate campaigns in Arkansas, North Carolina and Louisiana. The NEA’s political action committee recently made a $500,000 ad buy attacking Rep. Tom Cotton, the Republican candidate for Senate in Arkansas.

But union strategists say they’re deploying the bulk of their resources on state races, in part because the scrum around the Senate races is already so noisy, it’s hard for additional voices to break through.

It’s a savvy strategy, analysts say. “Governor’s races don’t have as many warplanes up in the air as the Senate races,” said Brock McCleary, president of the Republican polling firm Harper Polling.

Pennsylvania, where Gov. Corbett is lagging in the polls, is a top target. Teachers unions have already donated more than $1 million to Tom Wolf, the Democratic nominee for governor, campaign finance records show. They’re also helping to fund a PAC that just bought $2 million in airtime to slam Corbett for education cuts.

Labor strategists even have ambitions to flip the Pennsylvania Senate to Democratic control. They’re also targeting state Senate chambers in New Hampshire, Arizona and Wisconsin and have their eyes on the Arkansas House as well.

“We plan to play big and aggressively in this election cycle,” the AFT’s Weingarten said. “Our members are determined to reverse some of the devastation they have felt since the 2010 elections.”

She said that she also reported him missing to the Westfield police.

Buchinsky said that Eldredge is of average height and weight with long blond hair which he wears in “a curly beautiful ponytail.” She said that he has blue eyes and a crescent moon tattoo on his left forearm just above his wrist.

He is a “soft spoken good hearted man”, she said who is “really good with dogs.”

“Milton is a good and kind, generous, sweet person, who is very depressed,” she said. “His dogs miss him, too.”

Anyone who encounters Eldredge is asked to call Westfield or state police.

Rape Charges

Continued from Page 1 The woman said that she first became aware that her daughter was exchanging digital messages with her coach but said that eventually her daughter admitted that she had snuck out of the house between midnight and two a.m. on at least three occasions to meet her coach, who she identified to her mother as Mike Rash of Westfield, and the couple then walked to Perry Lane Park where they engaged in consensual non-penetrative sexual activities.

The woman’s complaint was investigated by Agawam Officer Michael Gruska who, with the assistance of a state trooper assigned to the D.A.’s office and the cooperation of the victim’s mother who had the passwords for the daughter’s electronic devices, assembled evidence in the form of text messages and pictures recovered from the girl’s cell phone and computer including “a number of sexual conversations taking place between the suspect and the victim.”

Gruska’s investigation led to Rash’s arraignment In Westfield District Court, the same court where Rash was arraigned in 2006, when he was 17-years-old and had been a member of group of youths who, masked and armed with a pellet gun, had allegedly set up and robbed a pizza delivery person on Otis Street.

He was subsequently indicted and arraigned in Hampden Superior court where the charge, armed robbery while masked, ultimately was not prosecuted.

North Adams man gets up to 5 years for stabbing PITTSFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A North Adams man who stabbed a friend nine times with a steak knife because he thought he had stolen $600 from him has been sentenced to up to five years in prison.

The Berkshire Eagle (http://bit.ly/1nuRXaS ) reports that Mario Babbs was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty to assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in connection with the June 2012 stabbing of Cole DeSanty.

Prosecutors say the 27-year-old Babbs had borrowed DeSanty’s car, and after returning the vehicle found he had lost his wallet. After Babbs found the wallet, without the money, he asked DeSanty to his apartment where he stabbed him.

DeSanty denied taking the money.

Prosecutors say DeSanty’s wounds were life threatening and included a severed rib, punctured left lung, internal bleeding and compromised hearing and vision.

Children

Continued from Page 3 invited local, state and federal officials, along with representatives of law enforcement, to a meeting Thursday at the Statehouse to discuss Massachusetts’ possible involvement in housing immigrant detainees.

The House yesterday referred to a legislative committee a non-binding resolution that called for the state to reject any request from the Obama administration to take in the unaccompanied children from Central America.

“This resolution is to question Massachusetts’ role in an immigration crisis … and politely say ‘no thank you,’” said Ryan Fattman, R-Sutton, on the House floor.

Fattman said he applauded Patrick for his compassion but rejected assurances that the children would remain in the state for only a short period.

The Democratic governor, who said the state had not yet received a formal request for housing from the federal government, said he expected the facilities would operate for only about four months and the average stay for children would be 30-45 days while they are processed under U.S. law.

Cops: Ohio man from NY killed wife in 1995 ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A New York mother and daughter whose bodies were found in different states and remained unidentified for 19 years were killed by a close relative who is now in custody and will face murder charges, authorities said yesterday.

Seventy-year-old Robert Honsch, of Dalton, Ohio, faces murder charges in the death of his wife, whose body was found in Massachusetts in 1995, and the death of her teenage daughter, who was found dead in Connecticut that same year.

Authorities allege Honsch shot 53-year-old Marcia Honsch in the head. Her body was found by a hiker in October 1995 near an entrance to Tolland State Forest in western Massachusetts. A week earlier, the body of a young female was found in a parking area behind a strip mall in New Britain, Connecticut. She also had been shot in the head.

New Britain, Connecticut, police said yesterday they and Massachusetts State Police have separate arrest warrants charging Honsch with murder. He was being held in Wooster, Ohio, and is expected to be arraigned there today before being moved to Massachusetts.

It could not immediately be determined yesterday if Honsch has a lawyer.

Neither body had identifying information, but examination of clothing and other items found at the scenes suggested they were from New York. Several rounds of DNA testing determined they were mother and daughter, but they remained unidentified until a woman from Virginia Beach, Virginia, contacted New York state police in June looking for relatives unaccounted for since 1995.

Troopers began a missing-persons investigation into the disappearance of a mother and daughter from the New York City suburb of Brewster, and collaboration with authorities in Massachusetts and Connecticut determined the victims were Marcia Honsch and her daughter Elizabeth, who was 16 when she was killed.

They had last lived in Brewster with Robert Honsch.

Authorities said Robert Honsch was found living under an assumed name with his current wife and children and was interviewed at his Ohio home before taken into custody on a murder charge Tuesday. Authorities said examination of items found near Elizabeth Honsch’s body connected him to the scene.

Queen, Lambert conquer ‘Sun’

By Mike Augusti Correspondent Uncasville, Conn. — Queen came to Mohegan Sun on Saturday night…and conquered the sold out crowd with amazing songs, excellent musicianship and superb showmanship.

Queen is back touring the entire United States with former American Idol finalist Adam Lambert as lead singer, who in my opinion stole the show.

Lambert was in top form both vocally and visually on this night.

The band opened the show with Now I’m Here and moved quickly into the rawker Stone Cold Crazy before slowing down a little with Another One Bites the Dust. The stage was fairly minimal with a big oval video screen surrounded by lights as the backdrop for the band. The left side of the stage had a walkout area that led to the center of the floor seats.

beauty of this song was the giant video screen showing Mercury singing the last verse of the song.

The rest of the band including original drummer Roger Taylor, his son and other percussionist Rufus Taylor and bassist Neil Fairclough joined May center stage for a rendition of ’39. Roger Taylor then took over lead vocals for These are the Days of Our Lives.

Unfortunately a bass solo and drum followed and completely took the momentum out of the show.

Keeping with Taylor singing, both he and Lambert did a great job with Under Pressure with Taylor’s part originally sung by David Bowie. The band proceeded back to center stage for a Freddie Mercury cover song Love Kills. A giant disco ball was then lowered from the top of the arena for rousing rendi-

tion of Who Wants to Live Forever. …And speaking of momentum stoppers, Brian May possibly played one of the longest and most boring guitar solos I have ever witnessed live. This guy is a guitar god and most of the solo was just playing power chords. Once that mess was over with, Taylor’s son Rufus took control of his father’s drum set for a really lively version of Tie Your Mother Down.

One song from the Queen catalog that was a hit that I never really thought fit them was Radio Ga Ga. This didn’t seem to really fit the set either.

They have too many other great songs to choose from. The rest of the set included Crazy Little Thing Called Love, The Show Must Go On and Bohemian Rhapsody. Bohemian Rhapsody utilized the large video screen and had Mercury singing the

second verse and then video images of Queen from the seventies singing the chorus. Great way to end the set.

The band took a brief break and encored with ultra Queen classics We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions. Truly a great show over all. I was really impressed with Lambert and to spend a night listening to Queen songs, what more could I ask for? The band is back at Mohegan Sun on Friday night…go check them out.

Championship halted

By Chris Putz Staff Writer WESTFIELD – It was an ominous start for Westfield Post 124 in Game 2 of the best-of-3 American Legion Baseball state sectionals championship deep in the north-central part of the state yesterday.

Depending on one’s viewpoint, that could either be referring to the dark, stormy skies overhead or the defensive mastery of Greenfield Post 81 in the top of the first inning.

Greenfield’s outfielders made three highlight-reel catches to start the game, and Westfield starter Rob Sullivan walked Post 81’s leadoff batter before

last night’s game was suspended due to lightning.

The game will resume play at Greenfield’s Veterans Field Wednesday at 4:45. If Westfield wins the second game of the three-game set, a third and final contest will be played shortly thereafter.

In the series opener Tuesday night, Greenfield starter Ben Ruddock recorded six strikeouts in a complete-game, four-hitter, leading Post 81 to a 3-1 victory.

In Game 2, Greenfield’s outfield made two diving catches, and a leaping grab.

Post 81’s Mark Buck walked to begin the home half of the first before the

umpire halted the game for lightning.

“We did what we could,” Westfield coach Don Irzyk said. “We can’t feel bad about that. We made an attempt to play the game.”

Westfield will now be tasked with winning both ends of the double-header to claim the title, and do so without home field advantage. The series must be completed Thursday, according to league rules, to allow for proper paperwork to be finished in time for the departmental tournament, beginning this weekend.

Post 124 will still be the “home” team on Greenfield’s turf if a third game is played Thursday.

Timberlake gets Mohegan movin’

By Mike Augusti Correspondent UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Justin Timberlake performed at Mohegan Sun on Friday, July 18, as he continued his tour across North America in support of his double platinum two-album release, The 20/20 Experience and his return to music after a five year focus on acting.

Justin last headlined a tour in 2007 in support of his FutureSex/LoveShow album.

This tour brings him overseas in mid-August before returning to the states in late November with a show in Oregon. If you missed Timberlake’s amazing performance at Mohegan Sun he will be back there on December 13 and tickets are still available through the Mohegan Sun Box Office and Ticketmaster, although you will have to pony up the cash because the majority of the tickets out of the box office are $215 after taxes. Timberlake, however, did not disappoint his fans willing to pay the price.

The singer, touring with his band The Tennessee Kids, grooved and danced their way through a 28-song set list starting the night off with Pusher Love Girl. Timberlake’s stage presence was exceptional, appearing on stage in a black tuxedo to thousands of screaming fans.

He quickly ran through the first three songs before his band rose up through the stage floor. The “band” was no ordinary one, but a 16-piece band that consisted of multiple drummers, keyboardists, bass, guitars and more. Timberlake himself played guitar on a lot

of the songs throughout the night and even a little piano.

Back up dancers supported Timberlake the entire night with well-choreographed moves.

With the arrival of the band, Justin continued playing his hits, including Rock Your Body, F u t u re S e x / L o v e / S o u n d Summer Love, and Cry Me a River. The first half of the show also included a cover of Holy Grail a song released in 2013

by JAY Z, which also featured Timberlake.

The singer took a 10-minute intermission before coming back out in a slightly dressed down version of his tux to finish off the night. Timberlake surprised his fans when he and his dancers rode a portion of the elevated stage over the crowd and to the back of the

In this 10-song set Justin ended the night with Suit & played plenty of hits, including Tie, which featured Jay-Z on Senorita, Tunnel Vision, What the release in January 2013, Goes Around… Comes Around before taking a quick “encore” and Take Back the Night.

By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Fed Up Dear Annie: I have been married to “Sherman” for 10 years.

It’s a second marriage for both of us, and together, we have five children.

The problem is my in-laws. They are nice people and would do anything for us. However, I think they are jealous that I have a good relationship with my grandchild, while they don’t get to see theirs that often. My daughter-in-law works full time and goes to school at night. Why shouldn’t I help her out? But whenever I babysit, either my in-laws or my husband makes some snarky remark.

They also seem to think our yard belongs to them. They plant bushes on my lawn because “they were on sale.” And Sherman will automatically defend his mother if I stand up for myself. He never does this for me.

I have started to distance myself from my in-laws, and I resent Sherman’s defense of his mother when she says something unkind. I have asked him to go for counseling, but he says, “I don’t have a problem.” Any suggestions? -- Fed Up Dear Fed Up: Your problem is Sherman. When he doesn’t defend you to his parents, they think it is perfectly OK to continue making unkind remarks and overstepping boundaries. He is perfectly content to leave things as they are. But he DOES have a problem: His marriage is in trouble. If Sherman refuses to go for counseling, please go without him. Learn what you are willing to tolerate, whether you can effect change with your in-laws and how to communicate your needs more clearly.

Dear Annie: Please help make young women aware of uterine cancer. My 29-year-old daughter was diagnosed with stage-four uterine cancer last September. Some physicians think because you are young, you can’t have cancer. This is not true. My daughter’s symptoms were irregular bleeding and severe pelvic pain. The doctors kept prescribing birth control pills or hormones.

After several years, several physicians and several medications, she finally saw an ob/gyn at the University of Louisville who did a biopsy of her uterus -- and then we received the devastating news. She was treated aggressively and is fighting every day to get better. She is such an inspiration. She had surgery several months ago, and they removed all the cancer in her abdominal cavity. But she still has it in two inoperable lymph nodes in her chest and is taking chemo.

If this story will help just one person or physician take that extra step, maybe another young woman won’t have to go through what my daughter has. P.S.: Since I started this letter, I have learned that my daughter’s cancer has spread again. I beg you to get the word out. -- Louisville, Ky. Dear Louisville: Our hearts our breaking for you. Uterine cancer (also known as endometrial cancer) is most common in women over 55 years old, so doctors don’t often consider this when they first see a younger patient with symptoms. But if you believe something is wrong, be persistent. Doctors aren’t infallible. Risk factors include endometrial overgrowth (hyperplasia), obesity, women who have never had children, periods beginning before age 12, menopause after age 55, estrogen therapy and a family history of the disease. Common signs are abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge, pain with urination and sex, and pelvic pains. The National Cancer Institute (1-800-4-CANCER) offers a free booklet at cancer.gov.

Dear Annie: This is for “Wish I Could Turn Back Time.” I, too, am 63 years old. Twenty-five years ago, I was convicted of a nonviolent felony. I did not go to prison. I had a job for many years with great reviews and was liked by management. When they started a program to fingerprint everyone, I was let go. In California, a felony cannot be expunged. Once you make a very bad decision, as I did, you are NEVER forgiven. -- California

HINTS FROM HELOISE KEEPING CORNERS DOWN Dear Readers: Many of you shared your hints about keeping parchment paper on pans. Here are two of them: * Traci A. in Washington wrote: “I love reading your column in The Spokesman-Review every day. I spritz cooking spray on each corner of the cookie sheet to hold the parchment down. You don’t need a lot. Just a dab.” * Linda S., via email, said: “Here’s a trick I learned when working in our local gradeschool cafeteria: Tear off the desired length of paper, crumple it up as if you were going to throw it away, then simply smooth it out on your cookie sheet with your hand. Spritz with a little water if it is still unruly.”

-- Heloise NO-MESS CLEANUP Dear Heloise: I tend to be a messy cook, especially when baking. I now start my preparation by placing a large piece of waxed paper on the counter. When I measure flour, separate eggs, etc., if anything spills, it goes on the waxed paper. When I’m done, I just pick up the waxed paper and put it in the trash.

-- Rebecca S. in Colorado TIMESAVER Dear Heloise: To save time washing and rinsing dishes after I have cooked or baked, I fill the sink with warm, soapy water.

When I’m done with a utensil or a dish, I slip it into the water.

When I am finished cooking, all I do is rinse the dishes and put them in the dishwasher. No more scrubbing! -- Sandy, via email A good way to speed up cleanup! Just be sure there are no sharp knives to cause a mishap. -- Heloise

YOUR HOROSCOPE Contract Bridge

By Jaqueline Bigar

DOG EAT DOUG

Brian Anderson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, July 24, 2014: This year you often have strong emotional reactions to situations, but you tend to keep your feelings in. You lean toward not discussing a situation that evokes strong feelings from you. If you are single, you could attract the wrong person for you by not being true to yourself. Being authentic could be a source of insecurity. Be open to being more transparent. If you are attached, your significant other understands you well.

Together you might decide to make a change in your lifestyle, home or family structure. Good feelings will flow if you remain sensitive and in touch with your sweetie. CANCER understands you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Focus on what is important to you. Your intuitive side will help you appreciate a loved one. An opportunity that taps into your creativity could arise.

How can you say “no”? Tension is likely to build around a decision you need to make. Tonight: Head home early.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Your sense of direction will make a big difference in a meeting where others are unusually idealistic.

You seem to be unusually secure right now. Take a leap of faith with a personal or domestic matter. As a result, you’ll gain a sudden insight. Tonight: Anchor in.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Pressure from someone you look up to could force you to move in a direction that you would prefer to avoid.

Use caution when making a purchase for someone else. Keep a conversation moving, but make as few comments as possible. Tonight: In the limelight.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH A friend will help you solidify an idea and make it more realistic. The unexpected might occur as you deal with a loved one who is difficult.

Avoid a power play, and you will shock the other party. Be careful -- you both have the same interest. Tonight: As you like it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Though you have a lot of energy, you might opt to play it low-key. A partner or associate understands where you are coming from. Use care with someone you meet for the first time.

This person easily could be different than he or she projects. Tonight: Not to be found.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH A loved one will understand where you are coming from. Zero in on a goal that might involve a female or a heartfelt desire. You could be surprised by the actions of someone close to you.

Tonight: A conversation could be more difficult than you realize.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Someone is likely to express his or her appreciation for your efforts.

This person might want and expect more from you. It will be necessary to establish some boundaries. A loved one or a partner could be full of surprises.

Tonight: Try to call it an early night.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You hold yourself back often because of your unwillingness to reveal more of your feelings. Relax, and take on the perspective of someone who is not involved. You’ll see where you might be coming up short. Tonight: Let your imagination drift.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Your take on a situation is different from many people. You are willing to do whatever is necessary to make it work. Optimism surrounds a trip or a workshop. Maintain a positive attitude, and ignore the uproar that might be close by. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Others continue to seek you out. You are prepared to have an important discussion with someone. Once you have this talk, both of you will have much to celebrate. What you feared might be difficult will turn out to be a piece of cake. Tonight: Sort through your invitations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Throw yourself into a project that you feel you must get done in order to feel better. You often get overwhelmed. Good news comes will come to you through others. Someone you meet today could be very special to you

Cryptoquip

Crosswords

ultimately. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Tap into your creativity, whether you’re in a conversation or simply handling a problem. Some people might be amazed by your imagination and its results. Certainly, a wonderful idea or two will surface. You’ll add color to any situation. Tonight: Let some romance in.

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot.

But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.

It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore.
